The following Is an extract from a pri
vate letter written by the proprietors of the
Plantation Bitters:
“We hail no conception of the wide
spread suffering which exists, or of the al
most infallible cures produced by the
Plantation Bitters, when we first com
menced offering them for. sale. We now
find that every house has a weak child, an
ailing parent, or debilitated aged member,
who needs this tome. Our Laboratory has
grown from a single room to an immense
building, and our sales from a few bottles
to many hundred dozens per day, and we
are glad to know that they have done you
so much good.”

Domestic Manufacture of Railroad Iron.
The glowing descriptions by the “ excur
sionists,” of the incalculable mineral wealth
of Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, and
the nnequaled facilities for utilizing it, fills
us with wonder. We wonder notorfly at
the munificence of the Creator of these re
sources to be developed and used by our
people, hut at the apparent want of appre
ciation by the people of these possessions.
We arc informed that the works at
Columbiana, Ala., turn out pig iron at S4O
per ton, aud realize about 100 per cent, profit
at these figures. We are advised by a re
port to the stockholders of the “Empire
State Works, situated near Trenton, on the
Wills Valley Railroad, where the ore, coal
and lime necessary for the production of
pig iron are abundant, and in close prox
imity, that the pig iron can be produced at
a cost of $9 85 per ton; whereas, at the
North the cost of production is S3O to $35.
Now, if these figures are facts, why is it
t hat our railroad companies are paying some
$75 per ton for rails in New York ?
“ Want of capital by thbse who have confi
dence, aud waut of confidence by the capi
talists,” may be the answer. But have our
railroad Presidents looked into the matter?
They must have iron, not only for the first
construction of their roads, but for neces
sary repairs constantly recurring.
We are not familiar with the modus
operandi and cost of converting pig into
railroad iron, but there is a wide margin
between s2s,'which we will assume as the
cost of producing the former, and $75, the
preseut price of the latter in New York.
If private capital cannot be obtained for the
purpose, would it not be highly advanta
geous to different railroad companies to
furnish the necessary capital for extensive
rolling mills with the most approved facili
ties for the manufacture of rails, chairs,
spikes, etc; ? If wot, the reports of our im
mense mineral resources are mythical—a
conclusion we cannot adopt, bat rather
believe “ the half is not yet told.”

Cotton Crop in West Alabama.—The
Greensboro (Ala.) Beacon, of September 4th,
says:
We saw a gentleman a few days ago, who
has traveled recently over quite a scope of
country, and who is an old practical farmer.
Ilis opinion is that Hale county has a bet
ter prospect for cotton than any through
which he has been, and that no estimate
can as yet be made. Ho reported rust iu
nearly all the crop in the Newberu neigh
borhood, and also in other portions of this
county.
Another gentleman, who plants four miles
and a half South of this, exhibited to ns
two stalks of cotton from his field, litter
ally covered with the caterpillar, and said
that in a few days they would destroy at
least one-third of his crop.
Taking all things in consideration, we
are of the opinion that the cotton crop of
this section will not be as large as last
year’s crop.

Six Great Remedies
OF THE AGE.
Hurley’s Ague I'onic.
NO ARSENIC-NO MERCURY.
PERFECTLY RELIABLE.
The only remedy for Chills and Fever, or Ague and
Fever, that is or can be depended upon is HUR
LEY'S AGUE TONIC. There have been thousands
cured by using it who have tried the usual remedies
without benefit.
The following certificate from a reliable citizen of
Mississippi speaks for itself :
Mrbidian, Miss., Get. 13,1868.
Mr. It. Y. R. Chadwick :
Dear Sir ; This is to certify tiiat I bought from
you, by your recommendation, a bottle of Hurley’s
Ague Tonic, and it cured two uasesof fever and ague
ol fifteen months’Standing. I cheerlutly recommend
Hurley’s Tonle to the public generally.
Respectfully, yours, JOHN B. WRIGHT.
PURIFY YOUR RLOOD.
USE
HURLEY'S SARSAPARILLA.
WITH IODIDE POTASH.
This is the pure and genuine extract of the root, and
will, on trial, be found to effect a certain and perlect
cure of the following complaints an t diseases :
Affection* of the Bones, Habitual Costive
ness, Debility, Diseases of Ihe Kid
neys. Dlspepsta, Krysipells, Female
Irregularities. Fistula, all »kln
Diseases, Liver Complaint,
Indigestion. PH s, •Pul-
Diseases, Scro
fula, or King’s Evil,
Nypnilis.
To Dr. Thos. A. Hurley:
Bik : 1 deem it an act of justice to you to state that
in tbe month ol February lust I had a severe attack
if inflammatory rheumatism, which completely pros
trated me. At the same time my lungs weie much
afflio'ed. I was so reduced that it was with the great
est difficulty that I c mid walk. I procured some of
your Compound Extract of 8 irsap.rrilla, and com
menced taking it. I found that 1 began to improve—
my cough became lees severe—the soreness of pry
lungs and breast gradually sub-ideff—my rbeunaat.c
pain» |e,s aeu'e. 1 atjrib\rte thjs mainly to your fc-’ar
sapailila. I have now been taking it for over two
hato taken in all five bottles. Its effects
have been most satifactory to me, and I advise others
similarly affiicted to give you a trial.

Popular Worm Candy.
As tiffs is really a specific for \yojmef, qud the beat
and most ptjqtqhle form to give to children, It is not
surprising that it is fast taking the place of all other
preparations for worms—lt being perfectly tasteless,
and any child will take It.
Messrs. James Ruddle <£ Cos.:
Gkntlbmen : It gives me great pleasure to say,
after using ail the other worm remedies known to me,
with hut partial success to my children, 1 was advised
to try Dr. T. A. Hurley’s, an.i since using it my chil
dren have become well and healthy. The children
would eat it all the time, it is so pleusaut, if we would
let them. I believe it is ofle ot jhp bpsf and safest
remedies known, aryf gs such, recommend it to one
and all. ,TAB. VV. TRAVIB.

Jas. Ruddled Cos., Louisville, Ky.:
When living in your city I used several bottles of
DR. SEABROOK’S INFANT SOOTHING SYR
UP, and found it to do my child more good, audit
would rest better after using it, than any other reme
dy I ever tried. I can say with confidence, it is the
best medicine for children at present known. 1 wish
you would get the Druggists hero to keep it. If any
one does, please let m* know; if not, send me one

EHxer of Pyrophosphate of Iron
and Calisaya.
This elegant combination possesses all the tonio
properties of Peruvian Bark and Iron, without the
disagreeable taste and bad effects oi either, separate
ly or in other preparations, of these valuable medi
cines. It should be taken in all cases when a gentle
tonic impression is required after convalescence from
fbvbrs or debilitating diseases, or in those distress
ing irregularities peculiar to females. No female
should be without it, if liable to such diseases, for
nothing can well take its place.

The ENTIRE CAPITAL OF THIS COMPANY has been furnished by citizens of Vir
ginia and Georgia.
It is estimated that over TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are now annually sent North for
LIFE INSURANCE, every dollar of which takes so much from Southern vitality. Henceforth
let ns keep our investments at. home,and we will again assert and maintain our supremacy This
BRANCH OFFICE oflers all inducements lor Life Insurance of a perfect Home Office with
these advantages : The Capital is furnished, the expense of commencing operations has’been
incurred, the success, beyond peradventure, is established, aud the whole Capital and Assets of
the Home Company stand committed to sustain it. ’
The entire management of the Piedmont is in the hands of Southern men, and its aim is to
sustain Southern interests. Why, then, should Southern men place their money aud the Inter
ests of their wives and children in the hands of Northern men, who, you know, do not love you and
who have proved that they do not desire your prosperity, and WHOSE CHARTERS FORBID TI4F
INVESTMENT OF ONE CENT FOR YOUR BENEFIT?
THE PIEDMONT is not only a thoroughly Southern Company, but pledges itself to invest
all funds accruing in Georgia, within the State, under the direction ot Georgia gentlemen in
whose integrity yon must have entire confidence. R * 1
THE PIEDMONT gives 87J* per cent, of net profits to her Policy holders : issues Gold Poli
cies to those who prefer to pay in Gold, or at Gold standard; has already declared 40 uer cent,
dividend on all of its Life Policies, and, in short, offers all adVantages tha y
ask. We, therefore confidently appeal to Southern men to sustain a U established aud perma
nent institution of their own, and we cannot doubt the results.
THE PIEDMONT claims to be equal in the privileges and benefits granted its patrons, to any
other Company, surpassed by none, and superior to many, and only requests imrties wishing to i„
sure not to do so until they have examined the merits ol this established Southern Com inn, v
