AUGUSTA. GA.
SUNDAY MORNING, JAN. 31,1869
THE FENOE LAW.
This is a subject that may be considered
by the State Agricultural Convention, per
haps with profit to the State. Our whole
agricultural interest is deeply concerned
in the question, and the public necessity
will soon demand a solution of the matter.
Nothing is more important to a planter
than his fencing. Improved tools and im
plements, fertilizers, seed, etc., all are of
minor importance to the fencing that pro
tects his crop, of whatever ki*id or quality,
from destruction. The question now is:
Can the country, depleted of timber as it
is fast becoming, and dependent upon hired
and unreliable labor, maintain the long
lines of rail fences heretofore kept up about
the cultivated land? It is laborious and
costly to do so, and even if it can, in any
degree, be afforded, cannot the country do
better and save money by adopting a
course contrary to the present system, re
quiring every man te fence in his own
stock instead of fencing out that of his
neighbor? Cannot we abolish all fences
whatever, except such as each farmer may
need to fence in his stock of hogs and
cattle ?
We have in a former article estimated
the amount of fencing in Georgia, and its
proportional cost to the value of the soil
and crops. One hundred good rails will
make near a cord of wood, and would cer
tainly be worth $2 anywhere in Georgia.
Add to this the cost of splitting, hauling
and building, and we should suppose a
total estimate of $4 per 100 rails would be
a low figure of the cost of anew .fence.
This would make 10 cents per yard or $175
per mile; and upon this every man can tell
about the value of all his fencing. All of
this expense is justly chargeable against
the stock of the country, because we would
have no fences but for the stock. Access
to the census returns would give an actual
comparison of values, and we venture to
assert that the aggregate value of all the
stock in Georgia would be less than the
cost of the fences. We know of many
plantations having from ten to twenty
miles of fencing, while all the stock of
every description upon them, even in
cluding the mules, is under two thousaad or
three thousand dollars. On some places,
conducted in the old loose style, there may
be seen ten thousand dollars’ worth of fenc
ing kept up to protect crops not worth in
the aggregate five thousand dollars, against
a lot of stock worth perhaps three thou
sand dollars. And in making this compar
ison the working stock of animals should
not be taken into the account, because they
need never be let to go at large, being most
of the time at work. Strike out the mules
and horses, and how many places in Geor
gia have left even one thousand dollars’
worth of cattle and hogs against which to
charge their fences ?
One of the results of such a law, dispens
ing with fences and requiring every man to
inclose his own stock or pay what damage
they do to others, would be to reduce the
number of cattle, hogs and sheep in tile
country, and greatly improve the quality of
them. No man would then care to have
one hundred head of eafctl«wortli™or
ten dollars apiece only. The disposition
would be to kill off' these and buy fine
stock, of which five or six head would be
more valuable and less expensive to keep
than the one hundred inferior ones. And
we doubt if any other measure could be
devised so conducive to an improvement of
our stock as this very fence law.
We trust the matter will at least be dis
cussed to some extent in the Convention
next week, that the views of the people may
be elicited upon it. It would be a great
revolution in the order of our domestic af
fairs, but yet accompanied with small
trouble. Such a law passed, and every
planter would at once set about fencing in
his own stock of all kinds. Beef would be
freely used at home, and the number of head
soon cut down considerably, aud with less
troubi! than to repair all his fences, each
planter:-.ould soon make up such an en
closure of the old rails as would confine his
loose stock to some defined limits. In most
cases the task could be an easy one.
We advocate the measure, because we see
much benefit to result from it. Will not
our delegates to Atlanta provoke a discus
sion upon it ?
SETTLED.
It must be admitted by all who claim to
be observers of progress, iu the American
sense of the word, that the Woman’s Rights
question has assumed tremendous import
ance in these latter day& Some laugh at
it; some fear it; some evade it; some en
courage it—but no matter how much re
viled or how much placated, the question
forces itself, through eager advocates, into
greater and greater prominence. The Cour
rier des Etats Unis started an objection to
Woman’s Rights which was promptly
caught up by its contemporaries. The
objection, constantly reiterated, was this:
“ If women take to politics what will be
come of the Babies ?” For awhile this se
rious problem quite disconcerted the ladies
who specially engineer the Woman’s move
ment. But, the other day, Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton demolished the ( Courrier.
Addressing the Convention of Women at
Washington, she said : “ You horrid men
need not be uneasy; marriages will still go
on the same as ever, and the cradle will stiU
be rocked."
As this proclamation is “by authority,’
we can well understand how it operated as
a complete answer to the Courrit)' des Etats
Unis. The Baby question may be consider
ed as settled, if the Woman question is not.
The Inauguration Ball. —The National
Intelligencer, alluding to the proposed in-
on the 4th, of March says :
l - Not to have one under the highest auspices
would be a reflection upon the particular oc
casion, and a shame and disgrace to this city
and.to the country.”
Yes. Just so. And not to have one with
out distinction of race, color or previous
condition would be a shame and disgrace to
Congress. _«
Which Is It?—The New York Iribune
sees in the recent Senatorial elections
abundant evidence that ultra Radicalism
is still popular. The Baltimore Gazette re
fers the whole matter to popular apathy
and political depravity. The People think
they govern; but they do not. Corruption
names the monarch and his title is “ Ring.’’
Brash. —Congressman Schknck, Chair
man of the Republican Committee, says
name shall not be brought into
debate as a scarecrow for him. Bchrnck’b
valor has improved since the battle fit

• Clayton’s Bloodhounds.
Ashley County, Arkansas, )
January, 1869. J
1o Hi* Excellency,‘Qovtmw Clayton
Sir: I desire to make a plain, unvarnish
ed unexaggerated statement of the manner
in’which I was treated by a detachment of
(jen. Catterson’s militia, commanded by
Maj. Anderson, who is sheriff, I believe, of
Crawford, county, Arkansas.
I will premise by saying that I am, was,
and have been, a quiet, unoffending, law
abiding citizen of Ashley county; that I
never was a member of the “ Ku-Kmx
Klan ” or the “ Knights of the White Ca
melia,” or any other secret political organi
zation ; nor ever gave them any counte
nance or support. During all the time I
was plundered and cursed and robbed by
Maj. Anderson and his men, I protested my
innocence and asked for a trial by any
court, civil dr military.
But to recur to the statement of my
wrongs. On Monday evening, the 28th
day of December, 1868, a detachment of
seven men, commanded by Lieutenant —• —,
from Maj. Anderson’s command, (which
was camped a short distance off, at the
widow Stillwell’s,) charged up to my resi
dence and demanded the keys of my store.
When they were obtained the lieutenant
and one man took me inside and locked the
doors behind them. They then command-,
ed me to speak low, that they intended to
kill me any way and to give up my money.
I pointed to my money drawer, and they
took what was in it. They then carried
me, under arrest, with the keys of my store,
to Mrs. Stillwell’s where Major Anderson
and his command were encamped.
During the night squads of soldiers were
sent through the neighborhood to summon
the negroes to meet at my store in the
morning, to secure such goods as Major
Anderson could not carry off. _
On the morning of the 29th Major Ander
son and his whole command came to my
house and store. Some fifty or sixty ne
o-roes had assembled; to these Major An
derson himself distributed my entire stock
of goods, except those that he and his men
carried off with them. Major Anderson
himself told me that he held me as a host
age for the good conduct of my neighbors ;
with terrible oaths threatened that if ever
I demanded the goods of the negroes or in
terfered with them in any way in reference
to them, that he would come back and kill
me and burn up my neighborhood. The
words used were, ‘trfiy (our) life should pay
for it.”
Major Anderson himself boxed up a large
quantity of goods—took my wife’s trunk to
put some of them in, took my bed blankets
—took my clothing, my son’s clothing, and
hauled them off to Hamburg,•General Cat
terson’s headquarters. The load of goods
was so heavy that it broke down anew wa
gon, and they impressed a poor widow wo
man’s wagon with which to continue the
trip, and have not yet returned it to her.
Some of his man emptied the contents of
this truuk on the floor, and took my wifes
breastpin and daughter’s cloak.
This, Governor, is a statement of my
grievance, in language which I think is de
void of abusive epithets, as I desired to say
nothing which was not strictly in accord
ance with the facts and capable of proof.
I was unmercifully abused and cursed,
kept under arrest, carried eight or ten miles
from home and turned loose afoot.
lam fifty-four years of age, have a wife
and seven children—my loss in goods
amounts to five thousand dollars. Thus in
my old age I am left penniless, and ray
children beggars.
I have addressed you this communication,
which I shall ask the editors of the Gazette
to publish, as the most convenient way of
reaching your eye, to demand of the Chief
Executive of the State the punishment of
my destroyers. If these outrages had not
been com nltted by and under order of com
missioned officers, then I should not have
made this public complaint.
Respectfully,
• R. C. Wimberly.

FUNERAL OF MAJOR ST. GEORGE HARNEY.
Major St. George Harney and two other
citizens —Messrs. McAlister and Ticu—it
will be remembered by the readers of the
ava&tnc/to, wer© arrested By the militia
under command of General Upham at Ma
rion, Arkansas, ten miles from Memphis,
and after untold indignities were murdered
at Frenchman’s Bayou, some thirty miles
from Marion, about ten days ago. The
bodies were buried hastily, without hearse,
coffin or shroud, and the militia marched
on toward Osceola. No trial, or even the
mockery of one, was ever held. It was re
solved in some secret council, perhaps, that
the three men must die, and they were shot
down like mere cattle. No reason has ever
been assigned by the perpetrators. The
citizens killed were all quiet, peaceable
men, who were first arrested as “ hostages.”
They were tortured in the most barbarian
height of the art to make them confess
something. If they knew anything it was
not elicited, and finally they were disposed
of as we have seen. The bodies were taken
up and removed for decent interment.
Major Harney’s was brought to Memphis
per steamer from Mound City last Sunday;
the other, will be or have been buried near
their homes in Arkansas.
The las- of Major St. George Harney lay
in the parlors of the Peabody Hotel, yester
day, in an elegant rosewood, glass-faced
coffin. Hundreds of our best citizens went
to look upon the manly face of one slain so
pitilessly in the bloom of his early manhood.
A bullet hole disfigured slightly his right
temple. The eyes were closed calmly ; lips
apart as if to breathe, aud disclosing sound
white teeth; chestnut browu hair carefully
combed back from a tine classic brow; face
clean-shaved, except a light colored mus
tache, andjcomplexion of hale, life-like color,
except little patches of a grape color under
the eyes. There lay the victim of hate,
cold as ice aud as lifeless, yet speaking a
long tale of anarchy and dethroned justice,
of laws broken by those who were sworn to
enforce them, of violent men turned loose
to harass and ruin a defenseless people, of
households broken and scattered, of lire,
sword and manacles—shrieks of women and
children in their cabins, at midnight, as
they were dragged from their beds by brutal
soldiery; of wrongs against society and
heaven, wrongs against the rich and the
poor, wrongs against property and against
virtue, wrongs against children yet unborn,
and outrages on women which rivers of
blood would not avenge.
The funeral of Major Harney took place
from the Peabody Hotel about two o’clock
yesterday afternoon. A large number of
our best people were present to participate
in or witness the sad services. A long
procession of citizens followed the re
mains to Elmwood, where they were laid
away with becoming respect and cere
mony.
From what we can learn. Major Harney
was a native of Virginia, at least his fami
ly are of Virginia stock, aud he once went
to school in Alexandria. He has been
about Memphis frequently since the close
of the war. He once lived in Missouri or
Kansas, and was well acquainted with
Governor Clayton when the latter was an
engineer. He told some of his Memphis
friends privately that Clayton would not
do to trust; that he was not reliable, and
a bad man. The relationship of the two
men could not have been pleasant, and
Clayton’s tools, the militia, no doubt knew
this fact. Major Harney was the partner
of Senator McDonald, of Arkansas, in the
cattle business. He brought a drove of
three thousand head from Missouri a year
or two ago, aud has been living at Marion
over a year.
Three weeks ago Major Harney, in the
full pride of health, manhood and hope,
was at the Peabody Hotel, with every rea
son to anticipate many days of peace, com
fort and usefulness. Yesterday he was car
ried out by gentle hands and laid in his tyst
resting place. No father or mother, broth
er or sister, or sweetheart was there to take
a last, lingering look in his grave as the
earth fell on the coffin-lid, but true Mends,
gentle-hearted strangers, laid him tenderly
away, and as their tears fell on the dust
they prayed that those to whom he was
most dear might be. given strength to bear
their great grief in the sad hour of bereave
ment.
We learn, since writing the foregoing,
that Major Harney was a Captain in the
Federal army, with the Drevet rank of Ma
jor.
The people of Savannah are jubilant over the
fact that their new street railway is finished
and the cars running.
A barrel of kerosene oil exploded on Tues
day last in a store at Jersey City. The stock of
the store, which was light, was soon enveloped
in flames.

Bloody Middle Tennessee.
A SPECK OF WAR IN ROBERTSON COUNTY.
On Wednesday, the 21st instant, a some
what extensive fight took place at Buz
zard’s Creek, in Robertson county, growing
out of an old feud between John Dunn and
K. H. Jones. The bad blood engendered in
former days produced a sore of no ordinary
dimensions. The rencontre we speak of
took place near a mill, where both parties
appear to have gone on some business.—
There were a number of other men within
hailing distance, who were attracted to the
spot by the fearful sounds of combat. One
of the men had a club; the other was armed
with an ax, which had just been ground.—
The combat was terrific. The club in the
hands of Jones threatened at every blow to
reduce his antagonist to a jelly; bat his an
tagonist being a powerful man, and well
put together, stood the storm of blows like
another Achilles. All that he wanted was
to “ get in ” on Jones, so that his ax could
be brought into requsition. He parried for
a time as well as he could—a yery difficult
task with so awkward a weapon. His
hands were reduced almost to a pulp
by the incessant strokes of the heavy
hickory. Blood flowed in profusion from
his head, and the blows which he had
received on the shoulders and arms seem
edlmore than sufficient to crush them.—
But Dunn held on the fight, for he felt that
resistance alone would save his life. More
over, he burned with hate and a desire for
revenge. At length fortune and the weak
ness of his antagonist favored his desire;
h:; got an opening, and swinging his ax as
only a strong man can swing it, he brought
it down with all his force on the head of
Jones. Owing to the dizziness of Dunn,
and the blood'which trickled into his eyes,
his aim was not very good. The ax es
caped the skull of Jones, but it took him
at the lower part of the ear, literally split
ting his jaw at that point, and cutting off
half the chiu. making a most frightful
wound. That side of the jaw was left hang
ing by the skTn of the neck. Five teeth
in the upper jaw and six ii the lower, were
detached by the stroke, leaving a hole in the
face horrible to behold. At this point in
the fray, a number of men from the mill
arrived on the scene of blood, and prevent
ed Dunn from dispatching his enemy by
another blow from the ax. Jones was lying
on the ground, and in a moment Dunn was
stretched out, fainting from the severity of
his punishment.
Both parties had friends, with more
courage than discretion, and between these
a general fight arose out of a dispute upon
the relative merits of each case. One man
was struck down by a blow in the face, be
cause he Indiscreetly gave the lie to another.
The new assailant quickly found himself
knocked over the head with a stick. The
melee then began in earnest; every one took
a hand in it. Stones, sticks, fists and pistols
were flying round like the branches of a
cedar in a storm over the bodies of the
prostrate men. The war was carried on
reckless of consequences and with wonder
ful pertinacity. The more cautious manag
ed to crawl awgy, while the more daring
came in for a lion’s share oi ill treatment. —
The only rule of conduct which seemed to
be observed was “ where’er you see a head
hit it,” and that rule was adhered to with
Eastern devotion. The fight did not sub
side until the combatants were either laid
prostrate or exhausted.
As the visible fruits of it, James White
and Dick Works got broken heads ; Thomas
Chapin had a nose and an arm smashed,
besides some injuries on the breast; Mr.
Hays got a pistol shot over the right eve ;
Mr. Corbett had a severe contusion inflict
ed by a rock in the hands of some one;
could not tell who ; Tom Wright had four
ribs broken, and a multitude of others had
injuries not of so serious a character.

1. In an action for waste, a witness shall
state facts, and while lie may give his
opinion, accoinpaned by the facts upon
which it is predicated, as to the number of
acres from which the timber has been ent,
the value of the land before and after it was
cut, the whole number of acres in the tract,
the proportion of timbered land and the
like ; it is error in the court to permit him
to give in evidence his opinion that the
estate of the remainderman has been dam
aged a certain amount by the acts of the
defendant. It is the province of the jury to
draw from the facts stated, their own con
clusion as to the amount of damage, if any,
sustained by the plaintiff.
2. If the complainant in a bill of equity
intends to waive the answer of the defend
ant under oath, he must so state distinctly.
The statemeut that he is able to prove the
allegations tQ this bill, without the answer
of the defendant, is not a compliance with
the Code.
3. If the complainant waives an answer
under oath, the answer filed is not evi
dence. It may be used, however, as an ad
mission of record, and complainant is not
bound to prove any fact admitted. But
when so used, the admission must be taken
together with any qualification or explana
tion accompanying it.
4. The statute of Gloucester was not in
force in Georgia prior to the adoption of
the Code, and it was error in the court to
instruct the jury that they might find a
forfeiture of the life estate upon evidence
of acts, most, if not all of which, were
done Drior to that date. The evidence upon
which the forfeiture was claimed should
have been confined to acts of waste, since
Ist January, 1863.
5. The stringent rules of the English law
relative to waste were applicable to our
condition, and were not embraced in our
adopting statute. It is not always waste
in this State for a tenant-for-life to cut
glowing timber or clear land. Regard
must be had to the condition of the prem
ises; and the proper question for the jury
to decide under the instructions of the
court will be, did good husbandry require
the felling of the. trecs, and were the acts
such as a judicious, prudent owner of the
inheritance would have committed.

The marriage settlement in this case was
a contract between the parties intending
marriage and the trustee, which vested a
life-estate in the $2,000 of notes, in Mrs.
Miller, both remainder in her children, who
are named, after her death.
2. A trustee in possession of the trust
property, is only bound to ordinary diligence
in its preservation and protection.
3. If the trust property consists of prom
issory notes, the trustee may receive pay
ment of the notes when due, in such cur
rency as a prudent man would receive for
debts due him under similar circumstances.
4. A trustee who, in good faith, received
Confederate Treasury notes in payment of
a note held in trust under the act of 18th
of April, 1863. acted under color of law,
and is protected by the act of 1866, and the
ordinances of the convention of 1865 and
1868, and if he invested said Treasury notes
without proper authority, or lost them by
negligence he will only be liable for their
value when received, allowing him a rea
sonable time to reinvest.
5. A trustee who held a promissory note
in’trust prior to the adoption of the Code
Ist January, 1863, if he acted in good fhith
had a right to receive payment in the cur
rency generally received by prudent men
in the transaction of their own business,
and to reinvest such currency in the note
of a person vfho was then entirely, solvent,
and if by the results of the war the‘maker
proved insolvent the trustee is not liable
for the loss.
6. trustee who receiyed payment of a
note held in trust in the then currency, be
fore the adoption of the Code, and after its
adoption, invested it, other than in the
stocks, bonds or other securities issued by
this State or other securities authorized by
laiV, and without an order of the court, did
so at his own risk, and is liable for the value
of the currency received by him, to be esti
mated at the time it should have been re
invested, allowing him a reasonable time
after its receipt to obtain the order Re
invest the funds.
7. If the trustee changes the investment
with the consent of the ceslue que trv4 -who
is of legal age, he is not liable for au f loss
growing out of such new investment.; .
8. The court erred in refus’ng to hllow
the trustee to that any investment
made by him, or any change of the Invest
ment prior to first of January, 1863, was a
prudent investment.
9. Connsel having asked the court give
his charge to the jury in writing, |t was
his duty to do so, aud he should liar s read
it to the jury as written, without any addi
tions @r verbal explanations.
10. If counsel in writing requei t the
court to give certain charges to tl« jury,
such written request must be upon i point
applicable to the facts in the casjj and
must not assume that to have been proven
which is not in proof, and must, as 4*itten
out by Counsel, be correct law, or tls C qurt
is not bound to notice it. If, however, the
court thinks proper to give the Mint in
charge with modifications he mayjjoso,
and such modifications need not be in
writing, but the whole taken together as
given by the court must be correct. *

[From the Louisville Democrat,
Wiser Than His White Friends,
At t.lie “ National Colored Convention,”
held recently at Washington, the
siblo speech I'jrac iVoui a. “-.n m
er,” who advanced the idea that
is doomed to extinction. He ascribes this
“ manifest destiny” of his race to the fatal
influence of New England teaching and
example. In a condition of slavery, he
multiplied and flourished, but now, said
the Ethiopian philosopher, “in neighbor
hoods, vvlu-tv, before the war, children ap
peared in swarms, you scarcely can find a
pickaninny! The mothers have learned
from New England how to kill them. You
know, sir, that New England is dying ont
from a lack of Yankees ; and the poor col
ored people have not been slow to learn.”
That this is a melancholy truth, ill re
gard to the rapid decrease of the negro
population, is known to every intelligent
man who has been much in the South
■since the war. But how far it is attributa
ble to an imitation of the foeticide, which,
according to Hepworth Dixon, is so com
mon a practice among the women of New
England, we will not pretend to say. Or,
whether it is not rather attributable to an
unvarying ethnical law, that decrees the
extinction of inferior races, when they come
in contact with their superiors. Races,
having sufficient affiuity to amalgamate,
and from anew and perhaps a superior
type of mankind, escape the application of
this law. But where races, such as the
Caucasian and Ethiopian, having physical
aud intellectual characteristics so different,
as to admit only of sporadic cases of amal
gamation, the inferior necessarily becomes
extinct. We nave no question, but this is
the inevitable fate of the Ethiopian ou this
continent.

Natural Salt.
Most of the salt used in the Western and
Southern States which lie on the Mississippi
river, is knowD as Liverpool salt,and it
comes first to New Orleans. A consider
able portion, however, has been made on the
Kanawha river, whence it was shipped into
the Ohio for the suppiy of Southern Ohio,
Indiana and Kentucky ; but the supply of
late years has diminished. That part of the
West reached by the great lakes has re
ceived immense quantities ofOnondago salt,
but lately Michigan lias entered the market
as a competitor of no mean pretensions. It
has been known for several years that there
was a most wonderful deposit of #alt in
Louisiana; and now, since this has been
proved actually to be the case, itJs still
more wonderful that it was not drawk upon
to supply the Mississippi country. The
locality referred to is on an island known
as Petite Aose, in the parish of
ninety miles westward from New Orleans,
about a mile and a half from navigable salt
water, and something farther from tie ratl
road running from New Orleans t<? Ope
lousas. The bay of Atchafalay lies a few
miles to the South, and the adjacent coun
try is similar to a prairie, while itiis but
a few feet above the level of the sea.
The island contains about four thousand
acres, and it rises gradually a hundred feet
or more, while the salt is found only ten or
twelve feet below the surface. Fromanaly
sis made at various times by several chem
ists, this mineral has been declared to con
tain 95 per cent, of chloride of sodium, or
common salt. It is white and unstained, is
in irregular cubical crystals about a quar
ter of an inch in diameter, very firfi, and
has the remarkable quality of being able to
resist moisture. In comparison with any
salt made by boiling, it is of superiojj puri
ty, while there is no rock salt in the world
which excels it. In attempting to ascer
tain the extent of this deposit, shafts have
been sunk to a depth of fifty feet without
finding a limit. During the war the peo
ple mined considerable of it, and at various
times before and since attempts have bean
made to furnish it as an article of com
merce, but ofving to a want of machinery,
capital and business energy, little or no
progress was made. Recently, however, a
St. Louis house has entered into possession,
and, with the requisite capital and skill’
they have erected steam engines, millg, and
other Works necessary for developing the
property, and the time cannot now be re
mote when Liverpool salt will cease to be
brought to New Orleans in cotton ships as
ballast.
The first Episcopal cathedral ever built in
New England was opened for the first time on
Christmas. It has been fully organized, after
the English system, by the Right Rev Dr
Neely, the Bishop of Maine. The yonngest
diocaeain the New England States, that M the
State of Maine, is the first one to have its full
cathedral system. Chicago, Buffalo, Pittsburg,
and some other cities, have already adopted it.

Tits Machine, Called Man,
Isa very complicated and delicate one. and is more lia
ble to get out of order, and much more difficult to repair,
than any combina'ion of wheels, and crank t and levers,
made by the bands of man. Asa rule, it is tinkered too
much, and badly tinkered at that. It is often calomel
ized, narcotized, dep'eted, and otherwise misused, when
all that it really needs is a wholesome tonic and restora
tive, like HOS TETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS, to put
it in proper trim and keep it so. The stomach is shame
fully maltreated. In the first place, the food which its
juices are intended to dissolve, is too frequently thrown
into it hastily. and in a half masticated condition, in
which state the gastric acid cannot properly act upon it.
The result is dyspepsia Then comes the docior, and,
finding the digestive organs weak and the bowels inert,
he proceeds to weaken and paralyze still more wirh dras
tic purgatives. These failing—as they always do—to pro
duce a Balutary change, he L 11s the invalid that medical
science can do no moie for him. This, with all due defer
ence. is a mistake—one of those mistakes which Talley
rand said were tantamount to crime. What the dyspep
tic needs is invigoration. Strengthen tiro stomach with
UOSTETTFRS BITTERS, and the stomach will
strengthen every other part of the human machine, and
make it, in common par lance, as good as new. Upon the
state of the digestion depends in a measure, the condi
tion of the whole system. Now, the Hitlers are the most
admirable ionic known. They consist of the finest vogo
able invigornuts and res oratives, combined with an
unadulterated stimulant. The dyspeptic needs nothing
else to effect a cure, except alight, nutritious diet, and
a fair amount of exercise. Even in the absence of these
last mentioned accessories, the tonic and alterative prop
erties of the preparation will work wonders, enabling the
dyspeptic to dig st interior fare with comparative ease,
and to maintain a good habit of body, in spite of the draw
backs of a sedentary occupation. j inls-ticbl

PACIFIC GUANO.
Capital, One million Dollars.
This GUANO differs from Peruvian Guano
simply in the relative proportions of ti e same element
of fertility.
It* use daring the past four years, for the culture of
Ootton and Com, has given to it a character for stand
ard excellence unsurpassed by Peruvian Guano, and
when seasons of drought intervene it produces a larger
increase of crops. The price at which this Guano is
placed is so much below that of Peruvian Guano as
to constitute it an object of material importance to
Southern agriculture.
The Company looks to “ largo sales,” small “ prof
its ” and a permanent trade for compensation on capi
tal invested. *
The large capital and resources of the Company en
ables It to furnish a Guano of the highest value, at
the lowest possible costs to consumers, and the highest
interest of the Company ii recognised in this policy.
Dr. St. Julias Ravbnkl, of Charleston, S. C., is
Scientific Director to the Company, which affords a
sure guarantee of the continued excellence of the
Guano.
