C. Pbmble.— Very recently we chronicled
the fact that Pennsylvania Gourd Seed Corn
produced an ear fifteen inches and a half in
length. A sample of eighty acres planted in
Edgefield by Messrs. Clemuiens & Smith was
for sometime on exldbition at our office count
er, much to the wonderment of passers by.—
These gentlemen have shown us a specimen of
Yollow Portugal Onion grown from the seed ,
measuring two inches aud a hall in diameter.—
These seeds came from the store of C. Pemble,
the veteran and skilful dealer, who has every
variety of choice seeds carefully selected for
this market. We advise all gardeners and
farmers to examine his stock before purdwu>in ff
elsewhere.
A KBcomimnsD Press Aoknt. —Our for
mer associate and sterling friend, Mr. P. Walsh,
of telegraphic fame, has committed matrimony.
We were present on the solemn occasion, aud
can testify to his being a free agent uo more.—
About two thousand friends, male and female,
distinctly heard him surrender at discretion to
Miss Belle McDonald, late of South Carolina,
but more recently of Augusta. The ceremony
took place at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. We wish
our friend, the “ Head Centre,” and his fair
lady every imaginable blessing.
V. B.—Our indefatigable friend Vau Buren,
of the Southern Express, has special benedic
tion for a New York Herald twenty four hours
ahead of the mail.
Dbad Georgians.— The Raleigh Sentinel
states that E. J. Goodwin, Co. E, Bonaugh’s
Battalion and R. Dickerson, Co. A, 46th Ga.,
are buried in a grove near Mr. Henry Morde
cai’s.
Andersonville Prison.— As a curiosity,
Mr. George Oates, our popular bookseller, has
sent us a very handsome volume with the above
title. It is the production of Ambrose Spencer,
who claims to ho a “ loyal Georginn,” and dates
his preface from Aruericus, in this State.—
Though written with some clovcrness, it is evi
dently of that lick-spittle character so famous
with “ loyal” Southerners of the Gantt and
Holden stripe. We are informed that Spencer
is 'by birth a Yankee, by accident a Georgian.
We are further informed that his record is none
of the clearest, and, possibly to hide it, lie apes
tlie cuttle-fish and baffles pursuit in inky waters.
As a proof of the value of his testimony, he
inserts an opinion of Judge Advocate General
Holt! Think of it The alleged suborner of
false witnesses, the rewardcr of perjury, the
murderer of an innocent woman, in the witness
stand to maintain the truth ! Such men and
such books are so many obstacles to peace nnd
good will on earth, for they arc the spawn of
the Father of Lies.

Important Information.—We have been
permitted to publish the subjoined letter from
the Treasury Department, containing valuable <
information to many parties in our midst: (
Treasury Depautmbnt, i f
Office of Internal Revenue, * (
Washington, July 28th, 1806. S
Uentlrmen— Your letter of July 20th, in
relation to yarn, cotton pickings, <frc\, has been ,
received. t
In answer, I have to say, that under the new |
excise act of July 13th, 1800, “yarn and warp
for weaving, braiding or manufacturing pur- c
poses exclusively,” are exempt from excise tax (
from that date. Taxes erroneously assessed 1
and paid on yarn or warp, will be refunded on .
presenting a claim therefor in due form at this i
office. !
Cotton pickings, (frequently called “paper
stock”) on which the excise tax as cotton has not i
been paii/, are liable to the tax of two cents per '
pound. On and after August 1, 1860, the tax
will be three cents per pound,
r Under regulations of the Secretary of the
Treasury, dated October 9th, 1805, articles sub
ject to an excise tax, and on which the tax had
not been paid, when shipped to Northern ports
from the “ States lately in insurrection,” were
required te be shipped in bond and the tax
thereon paid at the port of destination before
they could be delivered to their consignees.—
These regulations have been recently revoked,
consequently manufacturers in the South can
now ship their products on the same terms
that manufacturers at the North ship the same
kinds of goods.
Very respectfully.

Harper’s Magazine and Weekly. —We
know of at least three booksellers in Augusta
who would not touch Harper’s lilthy periodi
cals with a pair of tongs. This is as it should
be; for of all the rascally attacks and slanders
upon men and women ol the South, these pe
riodicals take the lead. The Mobile Advertiser,
alluding to the subject, says:
“We have no prejudice against the news
papers of the North, aside from that class ot
which Harper’s Weekly is one of the repre
sentatives; hut we cannot see how any Southern
man who is not entirely destitute of self-re
mrcui, can consistently contribute one cent to
the support of that habitual slanderer of every
thing Southern. Among all the Radical Aboli
tion journals of the North, there is not one
whicliso persistently and so shamefully villifles
and traduces the Southern people. Its editors,
correspondents and artists constantly vie with
one auother in the dirty work of slander, ridi
cule and misrepresentation. There is nothing
among us too sacred to become the object of
their coarse satire and heartless burlesque.
Week after week they truduee all whom we
love most among the living, and pollute by
their slimy touch the memory of all whom we
cherish among the dead.
It has been truthfully said of Harper’s Week
ly, that had it been published during our Sa
viour’s stay upon earth, it would have given its
readers a burlesque of the miracles and a cari
cature of the crucifixion.
. It is the vilest of all American publications.
It is a disgrace to the American people, and
should be religiously excluded from every
Southern household."
Harper’s History.— The infamous house of
Harper Brothers has lately issued a “ Pictorial
History of the Rebellion”. It is mercilessly rid
iculed by the Herald, which paper, speaking of
the pictures, says: “ With regard to the so
called portraits of eminent men, and a portion
of the illustrations, we cannot speak so well.
They have a very cheap shoddy stamp about
them, and look fearfully ghastly. The South
ern men, especially, have painfully forbidding
portraits; whether purposely made so or not
we cannot say. if sp, jt woulij be in keeping
With the spirit of the wofk and wi)h the pur
pose, probably, of panderfng to the taste and
prejudice of people by making all the South
erners look like ghastly, hard-featured conspi
rators and murderers.

A Rich Crater. The Petersburg mine
“ crater” is now In the raidst-ef a luxuriant
corn-field, and is itself planted in melons an<J
fruit trees. A correspondent who has been
there writes : “ The immense excavation made
by the exploration is now nearly closed to the
K surface, as it was converted to the uses of se
pulture, and contains, I am assured, about
2,500 dead bodies.
Georgia News.
Early Cotton.— The Bainbridge Georgian
of the 35th inst. mentions samples of cotton of
this year’s growth, aud from two plantations in
its section. This is more forward than the cot
ton crop in this region, and wc presume is also
several weeks in advance of the great bulk of
the cotton in Southern Georgia.
Georgia Gold.—We learn that the Wood
Mining Co., located ten miles from Dahloncga,
Ga., working decomposed quartz, took out in
one day lately, 1,900 pwt. of gold. The fineness
of Georgia gold is very high, ranging from 950
thousandth tine, while that of the gold from
California, North Carolina and many other
covatries is but 850 average.
[Veto Tork Stockholder.
Crops in Banks County.—Major Bell, of
Banks county, says that the wheat crop of that
county will not average more than a half crop,
and the late dry weather has done much damage
to the corn crop, He believes there will uotbe
more than a half crop of corn made In that
county.
A Word of Warning.—The Macon Tele
graph has been requested by an old citizen to
give a few words of warniug to certain young
men, who indulge in the reprehensible practice
of usiug “ certain glasses ” in watching ladies
iu making their toilets. This may be fine fun
to the youngsters, but is ueilher gentlemanly
uor agreeable to the ladies, who are thus placed
under surveillance. It is a contemptible prac
tice, and willnot be longer tolerated by several
citizens, tbgjfiidesty of the female members of
whose famiUßiave been thus outraged. We
trust this warniug will prove sufficient.
Diamonds of Hall County.—Dr. M. F.
Stephenson, has shown the editor of the Air
Line Eagle several diamonds in their rough
state, which he found six miles from that place
in 1861. They have the appearance of small
pebbles, and if we had seen them on the ground,
would uot have taken them to be anything ol'
value. There is uo doubt that the miners of
Georgia have cast aside unnoticed many of
these valuable gems.
Equality Exemplified. —A Federal soldier
and a black negro weneb, attracted much atten
tion as they walked, arm iu arm, down Fourth
street, Tuesday afternoon.
As they swung gaily along as big as life, the
hoys saluted them with “three cheers for the
cirll bill** —“tbftt’a wliut you fuught
and similar expressions.
The damsel looked rather ashamed, but the
soldier seemed more proud than otherwise.—
Journal and Messenger.
Rain! Rain!— Alter a drought of something
over a month, on last Tuesday and Wednesday,
this section was blessed with good rains, which,
we hope, will do much good to the corn crop,
which has suftered very much by the drought!

Look Out. —The Richmond Explainer con
tains the following expose of the last Yankee
swindle. We advise a careful perusal by all
weak enough to be imposed upon by Gift Lot
teries, &c.:
Detroit, July 20, 1866.
Sir— Your letter ol' 17th instant, making in
quiries about Ward & Stephens, is received. I
am sorry to say the whole thiug is an outraqeous
swindle. There is no such firm at 825 Jefferson
aveuue, or any other place iu this city. There
is no “ Lock box No. 963 ” in this office. All
their references are bogus. Wc have no “Fourth
National Bank ”in this city. The same is true
of all the firms and individuals to whom they
refer. They seem to have advertised extensive
ly in the South, and, I fear, swindled many
people. The first I knew of it a letter came
here from Athens, Georgia, lor Ward & Ste
phens. It was put in the box of Messrs. John
Stephens & Co. They opened it and fouud it
contained money for tickets, aud they brought
it hack to this office, aud it was returned to the
writer, with the money. Since that we send all
such letters to the Dead Letter Office, that the
Department may return them, with their con
tents, to the victims.
Many packages have coine by Express from
different Southern States, showing they must
have advertised extensively iu that section. The
express company Bends them all back to re
mitters. A lew days since I received a request
from some person at Chicago, (probably ficti
tious name) to forward, to that place, all letters
lor Ward it Stephens. Os course we continue
to send to “ dead letter office.”
1 have written to the Chicago otlice to try
and identify and nab the scoundrel.
Two or three scamps here are suspected, from
the tact they made enquiries at the express
office for packages. It is possible, if I had the
let ter written to you, the hand writing might
ho identified. 1 hope the rascals may he caught
in some way.
Respectfully,
William A. Howard, P. M.

The American Farmer.—Wc have received
from the publishers, Messrs. Worthington &
Lewis, of No. 52 Gay street, Baltimore, the
August number of this monthly magazine of
agriculture and horticulture, and are pleased
with tho amonut of information which it con
tains for the vegetable aud fruit farmer, the
poultry and stock raiser, and all others who
devote their time and attention to pastoral pur
suits. To show the sense of propriety which
actuates the conductors of tills excellent peri
odical, wc clip from it the following advertise
ment and remarks by the editor :
Sheep Stealing—“ i can buy a pair of Cash
mere goats, brought from the South by some of
the ‘ hoys,’ who ‘ confiscated’ them. Can they
he raised profitably ? What is it safe to pay for
them V”
The above extract is from a Northern agri
cultural paper. The English of it is, that a man
calling himself a soldier, robbed some one of
these goats, while in the United States service,
and is not ashamed to offer them for sale; while
another, who wishes to turn an honest (?) pen
ny by the purchase, calls the thief, endearingly,
one of “ the. boys,” and uses falsely the honest
word “confiscate,” to cover up the rascality.
A respectable editor publishes the letter with
out reproof, and treats the writer with the
civility due to a Christian or a gentleman !

The South Carolina Convention.
Columbia, August 1,3, p. m.
The State Convention assembled, pursuant to
tlie Governor’s call, at the Baptist Church, at
It o’clock, this morning.
One hundred and eleven delegates were pres
ent. All the districts in the State were repre
sented, except Beaufort, Edgefield, Horry, Wil
liamsburg and York.
llis Excellency, Governor Orr, who was pres
ent in the capacity of delegate from Anderson
District, was chosen President ol the Conven
tion by acclamation.
The following gentlemen were ehoseu Vice
Presidents: General Wade Hampton, Messrs.
E. 11. Brown, C. 11. Dudley and Gabriel Can
non.
The Convention then adopted the following
resolution :
lteaolved, That this Convention approve of
the restoration policy of President Johnston, as
opposed to the Radical policy of Congress, and
that we accept the invitation to unite witli the
Conservatives of the whole country in the Na
tional Convention, to be held at Philadelphia,
on the 14th iust.
Resolutions were also adopted providing
that the Convention shall proceed to-night to
the election of delegates from the State at large
to the Philadeldhia Convention ; and also that
the delegates now present from the seqeral
Congressional Districts in the State, shall elect
two delegates from each of their respective
Districts, and report the result of such elec
tions to the Convention.
LATER —EVENING SESSION.
Columbia, Aug. 1, 9.30, i». m.
The Convention re-assembled at 7, p. m.
Thirty additional delegates presented their cre
dentials, and took their seats. These iucluded
the delegations from Beaufort and Williams
burg Districts. So that Edgefield, Horry and
York are the only Districts that remain unrepre
sented.
The Convention then proceeded to ballot for
the four D dogate* from the State at large to the
Philadelphia Convention. The first ballot re
sulted in the choice of His Excellency Govern
or James L. Orr, Senator Perry, aud J. B.
Campbell. On the second ballot, Senator Man
ning was chosen as the fourth Delegate at
large.
The elections for two Delegates from each of
the Congressional Districts of the State result
ed as follows:
First District —F. J. Moses and Richard Do
zier.
Second District— Thomas Y. Simons and W.
P. Shingler.
Third District— D. L. Wardlaw and General
S. McGowan.
Fourth District —T. M. Dawkins and James
Farrow.
'fhP Convention then adjourned sine die; the
entire pfoeoediugs having been marked through
out with the utmost harmony and good feeling.
Raw Meat and Spirits to Cure Consump
tion.—An English paper prints the following :
“M. Fuster proposes to cure all cases of con
sumption by the administration of raw meat
aud spirits. Although his method of treat
ment has nos, bpen lopg employed by Continen
tal physicians, considerable testimony has been
borne to the groat success which has attended
its employment. The new treatment has now
been tried satisfactorily in two thousand cases
of phthisis. The raw ipeat is reduoted to a
pulp, mixed with sugar to conceal its unpleas
ant flavor aud administered in doses of one
hundred to threo hundred grammes per day.
The alcohol (of the strength of twenty degrees
Baume) is given in doses of ope hundred gram
mes a day."
The Prussian Commander.— There has
been a good deal of inquiry os to who the real
commander of the Prussian army is, as it is not
believed that either the King or the Princes,
though under fire, are actually the brains of the
campaign. Perhaps the following scrap of
European letter throws tight pu the subject:
“ Still we must acknowledge that, in the
present war, the Prussians had not onjy a su
perior armament, but likewise a better plan of
campaign, and the rapid execution of that plan
can not he sufficiently praised. Gld General
Count Molki has fairly won the most enviable
fame as one of the greatest generals of the age.”
Mr. Seward, in his dispatch to Mr. Field,
committed an impropriety which, as js very
olten the case when a congratulatory occasion
is selfishly abused, carried its own retribution.
He says if the telegraphic cable had not failed
in 1858, the European States “ would not have
been led, in 1861, Into the great error of sup
posing that civil war in America would per
petuate African slavery,” Ac. If they had not,
it would have been because they did not be
lieve Mr. Seward’s official declarations, through
the Foreign Ministers, that the war would u in
no wise ” affect the question of slavery in this
country.— Whig.
A ItERUKg of Sheiiman Gran^.—Every
qne knqws jiow greeauy Pfant and Sherman
have beep the snappers up, not only of nncon
sidered trifles, but of gifts that amounted in
value to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
They arc the great beggars and beneficiaries of
the nation. If they have served the country,
they have allowed their services to be requited
by money. Their claims on the gratitude of
any part of the people have been paid in full.
Yet, like a pair of Oliver Twists, they wish for
more.
The citizens of Nashville, Tennessee, have
purchased a house for General Thomas at a coat
of sixty thousand dollars, but he declines the
present, and requests that the money may be
contributed to the Soldiers’ Widow and Orphan
Fund. In spite of his recreancy to his native
State, General p aa gtifl something left
Qf Virginia principle, and his conduct is in fine
po itrast with that of the present General and
Lieutenant General of the United States army.
We commend it to their meditations.

WEIGHT’S PATENT
Improved Iron Screw,
for packing cotton.
1 1 ’mr attention Os Cotton Planters is invited to the
,-bdrns of this invention, which in SIMPLICITY,
KCONOMY, DURABILITY and POWER, sur
nasses any machine for haling cotton ever before pre
sented to the country. Its great excellence in these
respects make it
tiie best machine
for packing cotton
in THE WORLD !
1 Its Simplicity.— lt is a new and improved appli
cation of the SCREW POWER ; just a« simple in its
construction as the old fashioned wooden Screw,%s
easily managed, a«fd no more liable to get out of or
der. No ropes or phi lies are used as in the cotton
Economy.—lt has been demonstrated by ac
tual experiment to la- CHEAPER than the womlen
Screw. The limiiers nsed in its construction are much
smaller and fewer than those employed in the old
Screw; the revere being only sixteen feet long, and the
height of the whole frame above the bed being only
ten feet. AH these timbers can he procured on the
plantation, no matter how exhausted the forest. Any
ordinary wood workman can build the frame, and half
a dozea hands will put it up in a few hours.
a. Its Durability.— The Screw and Nut are of
Iron and WILL CAST FOR YEARS WITHOUT
ANY APPRECIABLE WEAR. The wholemachlne
occupies so little fjiace that it can be completely cov
ered at very small cost.
4. Its Powkr.--.With a lover only sixteen feet long,
ONE MULE is Bnriu ient lor paeking the heaviest
oalea. Planters who have used it say that with two
mules cotton may be compressed on this machine for
shipment.
This Screw was invented just before the opening of
the war, and has consequently never been generally
introduced. Those who have used it and seen it used,
unanimously concur in the opinion that it is
Unrivalled as a Cotton Screw.
The following testimonials from some of the best
and most repuUJlle jianters in tho country show the
estimate in which this Screw stands with those who
have tried it;
We have used and seen in operation foi the last five
years, WRIGHT’S IMPROVED COTTON IRON
SCREW, and fctl nohesitation in pronouncing it the
very best Cotton, Screw we have ever known. So
highly do we esttein it, that if practicable to obtain
one o"f them, we wiahl have no other. It is easily
built, simple in its mnstructiou, not liable to get out
of order, packs well with great power and with great
facility. EDW’D T. SHEPARD,

CHOLERA.
A CERTAIN CURE FOR THIS DISEASE
MAY BE FOUND IN THE USE OF
PERRY DAVIS’
Vegetable Pain Killer.
Dubuque, lowa, May 6th, 1865.
Gentlemen I feel under obligations to yon for
the benefit I have received from your invaluable Pain
Killer.
A few days since, I assisted in laying out and bury
ing one of our citizens who was supposed to have died
with tire cholera. The next morning 1 was taken with
severe vomiting, accompanied with coldness of the ex
tremities. Warm coverings and hot applications fin led
to restore warmth. My wile’s family, who had used
the Pain Killer with success during the cholera season
in Buffalo, in 1847, advised me to take it. 1 took two
doses at intervals of fifteen minutes; a fine perspira
tion ensm d, and the next day, barring a little weak
ness, I was well, and have been since. It may have
been an attack of agne; but whether ague or cholera
it answered my purpose.
Since my recovery, T find that several of our citizens
have used the Pain Killer us a remedy for cholera,
pronouncing it good. I therefore take pleasure in re
commending it to a still more extensive notice.
W. M. CRAWFORD,
Attorney at Law.
St. Louis, Mo.
Dear Sir:— l feel it a duty I owe to the public to
make known the value of Davis’ Pain Killer, and my
experience in using it for some of the complaints for
which it is highly recommended. In April last, on
your recommendation, I purchased a one-dollar bottle
of you for pains with w hich I have long been afflicted,
and made use of it on my trip down to New Orleans
with the most gratifying and beneficial effects. On
my return trip to this city, the cholera made its ap
pearance among some of my passengers. 1 made use
of tho Pain Killer, having no other remedy on board,
and, to my surprise ami gratification, found it gave
immediate relief. On my arrival in St. Louis, I called
on you ami got four large bottles, and stated to you
my confidence in it as an infallible cholera remedy
ami remarking to you that 1 wanted no other cholera
remedy on board my boat. I made use of four bottles
ou my trip to New Orleans ami hack, for cholera ami
Aome other complaints for which it is recommended,
and met with the most astonishing success—when I
ordered from you six more one dollar bottles. Since
then, 1 have made two more trips to New Orleans and
bock, and ou my previous trip up 1 had more than
SEVENTY CASES OF CHOLERA
on hoard, when the PAIN KILLER was immediately
used with the most astonishing results. In ail cases
where it was used in time, it ga\e relief in a very
short time; and I can with confidence say to the pub,
lie, that, iu all of the first stages of cholera, when taken
in time, it is iu my opinion an infallible remedy; and,
after a fair trial with it for several weeks, and four
trips to New Orleans and back, and using it for cholera
and other complaiuts for which it is recommended, uo
consideration w'hatever would induce me to leave port
without a good supply -believing it to be a medicine
that no officer of a boat or any family would be with
out a single day after using one bottle.
J. M. BROADWKLL,
Capt. Steamer Atlantic.
I most cordially unite with Captain Broad well in
recommending Perry Davis' Pain Killor to the public,
having myself been severely attacked with the cholera
and found relief in a few hours by using it, and have
myself administered it to more than fifty persons at
tacked with the cholera, and when used hi time a cure
was effected in a few hours, aud take pleasure in re
commending it to the public as an invaluable medicine
that no Individual should be without a single hour.
J. N. BOFFINGER,
Clerk Steamer Atlantic.
DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER.
Iu to day’s Union will be found an advertisement of
this celebrated remedy. TTie certificates appended
from the Captain and Clerk oi tire steamer Atlantic
we know to be genuine and founded on facts, as they
verbally stated in ouroffico the substance of what they
publish.—/#. Louis Union.
At the commencement of tho disease take a tea
spoonful of Pain Killer in sugar and water, and then
bat lie freely across the stomach, and with the Pain
Killer clear.
Should the diarrhcea or cramps continue, repeat tho
dose every fifteen minutes. In this way the dreadful
scourge may he chocked and the patient relieved in
the course of a few hours.
N. B.—Be sure and get the genuine article, and it is
recommended by those who have used the Pain Killer
for the cholera, that in extremo cases the patient can
take two or more teaspoon Puls instead of one.
