FRIDAY MORNING, QOT. 22,1869
Convention at Louisville.
REPORT OP THE COMMITTEE ON AGRICUL
TURE.
The Committee on Agriculture, admon
ished of the policy of a brief report before
a convention determined upon a short ses
sion, waiving argument, beg leave to pre
sent their conclusions, and ask their adop
tion.
From want of access, here, to official
documents, the. committee cannot give a
response, reliable and worthy of public con-
fidence, to the questions propounded in the
resolution of Mr. Brooks, of New York, to
wit: Number of acres of land cultivated
and suitable for cultivation: the price of
vacant lands suited to agriculture; the
crops best suited to the soil; the distances
from the most central points, by the rivers,
lakes and rail, to the seaboard; the ratio
and place for consumption of crops sent to
market; and other accurate information
calculated to enlighten the country as to
the growth, production, and capacity of
the Southern States. Therefore, the com
mittee ask the authority to collect, collate,
and report thereon, after the adjournment,
to the chief Secretary of the convention,
who shall be instructed to publish said re
port, and distribute a copy to each member
of this body.
The committee are deeply impresse I with
the deflcieucy of labor in all the United
States; not so well advised as to the
amount in the grain growing and Northern
States ; but, from fair data can estimate a
deficiency of over one million of agricultural
laborers in the Southern States which grow
cotton, sugar and rice. The supply of
ample labor in all the States of the Union
would increase vastly the productions of
the soil, add millions of dollars to agricul
tural income, quicken every other industri
al pursuit, and hasten the completion of
every valuable enterprise. The needful
supply will be, doubtless, suggested byyour
Committee on Immigration.
The committee conclude this report by
recommending the adoption of the follow
ing resolutions and preamble :
Whereas, The prosperity of all the great
commercial interests of our country de
pends directly upon the prosperity of Its
agricultural interests ; therefore,
Be it resolved, That this convention, re
cognizing its importance, assigns to it the
first rank of American industries.
Resolved , That the rapid development of
the agricultural resources of our country is
of such vital importance to its prosperity
that unequal and undue burdens should not
rest on auy agricultural section.
Resolved, That the true policy of our Gov
ernment is a general and prompt relief to
tlie cotton growing sections from those
burdens of unequal taxation which were
placed upon that section at the termination
of the late domestic war ; therefore,
Resolved, That the Congress be respect
fully urged to repeal the act imposing a
land tax upon the Southern States.
Resolved , That the most liberal policy of
the Government of the United States toward
the entire agricultural interests or our
couurxy Is both just and desirable.
Resolved, That the Secretary o( this con
vention be Instructed to send copies of
Senate and Speaker of tlie'mJtrse. of' ftepre~
sent.atives of the United States, to be laid
before their respective bodies at the ap
pro telling Congress. Anil that he also fur
nish copies to tlie Representatives from
Kentucky, anil request their presentation
in Congress.
Respectfully submitted.

The Closing Days of Court. —Nothing
of interest marked the closing days of our
Fall term save the trial of Lydia Buckhal
ter for the murder of Mrs. Elkins. Messrs.
Addison and Bacon were appointed as her
counsel. The Jury acquitted her. And
thus is the Elkins ease off the docket. A
worthy lady has been atrociously murdered,
and the perpetrator, whoever he or she may
be, goes unwhipt of justice. lu days of
better law it had not been so!
And then Judge Platt was seized, as
usual, with a violent pain in the head, or
stomach, or back, or somewhere, (head,
however, most probably), and retired ; with
his blushing honors thick upon him. And
after his late absurd, undignified, and
puerile splutter here, he certainly deserves
a lasting remembrance at the' hands ot
Edgefield. We cannot afford to have his
noble features perpetuated in immortal
colors or prisoned in deathless marble, for
the admiration and emulation of genera
tions yet unborn, but we should redeem his
name at least from entire oblivion.
Brass is a classic material for the pur
pose ; it is enduring and it is appropriate.
Let, then, an ample tablet be constructed
of this brilliant metal, and on its shining
surface let “ Zephaniah Platt, Contemptible
Even Among Carpet-Baggers ” be engraved.
We can afford in this instance to be even
brazen in our admiration and generosity.

Three Gin Houses Burned in Two
Days—lll Bales Cotton Burned. —On
Saturday morning the gin house and twelve
bales of cotton were burned on the planta
tion of Mr. Henry Keyes, who lives near the
line of the IMC. &G.R. R. We have not
learned the particulars.
Saturday night, at 9 o’clock, on one of the
plantations of the Fontaine estate, in Stew
art county, the gin house and some fifty or
seventy-five bales of cotton in lint were
consumed by fire. That day sixty-one
packed bales had been removed from the
house, or they too would have been de
stroyed. It is thought to be the work of an
incendiary.
Yesterday morning, about 8 o’clock, the
gin house ana twenty-four bales of lint cot
ton were destroyed on the Owen Thomas
plantation, cultivated by the Messrs.
Thweatt. The gin was being run at the
time, and the overseer (a white man) and
an experienced ginner (colored), had just
left the place. A flash of fire in an instant
envoloped everything.
In about three weeks the destruction of
five gin houses, with some three hundred
bales of cotton, has been reported to us.
They occurred in this section, within a very
short radius. If this does not have the
effect of inducing constant care and watch
fulness, nothing we can say will do it.

Cowhiding a Clergyman. —The citizens
of Westport, Connecticut, have just had a
first class sensation in the horse-whipping
of their prominent clergyman, Rev. Mr.
Collins, by Morris Ketchum. Esq. Mr.
Ketchum had some domestic trouble,
which led to a separation, and all sorts
of stories were told about him, of which
the clergyman was said to be the author.
The latter was met,by the injured husband,
and received such a beating as a clerical
member of society not often thinks of.—
Having been soundly thrashed, the minis
ter went to the court house and brought
a complaint of assault and battery against
Mr. Ketchum, the trial of which will de
velop, some interesting features of suburban
life.
The Franklin (La.) Banner says spiritual
desolation reigns in St. Mary. Appoint
the time for a horse race, says the Banner,
a free fight or a circus entertainment, and
St. John the Baptist could not call out such
a crowd nor call forth half so much en
thusiasm. There is an abundance of un
developed zeal in Franklin and St. Mary,
but it can’t be reached by a church bell or
the voice of a reformer.
At the recent term of the Circuit Court
of Macon county, Missouri, a Mrs. Means
pbtained a verdict for $6,000 damages
against a man named white, for defama
tion of character. Upon the rendition of
the verdict, Mrs. Means remitted $4,999 of
the judgment, averring that she had sued
to defend Iter reputation and not for
pney. •*** 547 tmaoa ix a

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
I The reputation this ex
- cellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures,
A sa many of which are of a
/irß< —i jprr truly marvellous char
o- acter. Inveterate cases
of Scrofula, where the
JA @ system seemed utterly
1 Jwk given up to corruption,
ggguga tv. uiF have yielded to this com
-0 _-a pound of anti-strumous
virtues. Disorders of a
' scrofulous type, and af
fections which are merely
aggravated by the presence of scrofulous matter,
have been radically cured in such numerous in
stances, in every settlement in the country, that the
public do not need to be informed hero that it is in
most cases a specific and absolute remedy.
Serofulons poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution,
and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the
surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tuber
cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed in the liver. These facts
make the occasional use of the Sarsaparilla as a
preventive, advisable.
It is a mistake to suppose the* so rong as no erup
tions or humors appear, there must be no scrofulous
taint. These forms of dentagrniwnt may never
occur, and yet the vital forces of aso body be so re
duced by its subtle agency, as matanally to impair
the health and shorten the durstioi of life. It is a
common error, also, that scvotni.i it c.ricrty heredi
tary'. It does, indeed, descend iron, parent to child,
bqt is also engendered in persons born of pure
blood. Low living, indigestion, foul air, licentious
habits, uucleanliness, and the depressing vices gen
erally, produce it. Weaklyconstitutions, where not
fortified by the most constant and judicious care,
are peculiarly liable to it. Yet the robust, also,
whose turbid blood swells the veins with an appar
ently exuberant vitality, are often contaminated,
and on the road to its consequences. Indeed, no
class or condition can depend on immunity from
it, nor feel insensible to the importance of an effec
tual remedy.
In St. Anthony's Fire, Hose or Erysipelas,
for Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Mead, Ring
worm, Sore Ears and Eyes, and other eruptive
or visible forms of the diseases caused primarily by
the scrofulous infection, the Sarsaparilla is so ef
ficient as to be indispensable. And in the more
concealed forms, as in Dyspepsia,Dropsy, Meart
Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and other
affections of the muscular and nervous systems, the
Sarsaparilla, through its purifying power, re
moves the cause of the disorder and produces aston
ishing cures.
The sarsaparilla root of the tropics does not by
itself achieve these results. It is aided by the ex
tracts combined with it, of still greater power. So
potent is this union of healing virtues, Syphilis or
Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by
it, though a long time is required for subduing these
obstinate maladies by any medicine. Leueorrhcea
or Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and Female
Diseases in general, are commonly soon relieved
and ultimately cured by the invigorating and puri
fying effect of our Sarsaparilla. Rheumatism
aud Gout, often dependent on the accumulations of
extraneous matters in the blood, have their remedy
also in this medicine. For Liver Complaints,
torpidity, inflammation, abcess, etc., caused by
rankling poisons in the blood, we unhesitatingly
recommend the Sarsaparilla.
This medicine restores health and vigor where no
specific disease can be distinguished. Its restora
tive power is soon felt by those who are Languid,
Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and filled with
Nervous Apprehensions or Fears, or who are
troubled with any other of those affections symp
tomatic of weakness. Many, after taking it for
General Debility, have written us of the youth
ful vigor imparted to their nervous system, which
seemed buoyant with that prolific life they thought
had departed on the advance of age. Others, whose
fountains of life were always sterile, acknowledge
their obligations to it for an obvious change.

Dr. J\ Bradfield’s
Female Regulator!
WOMAN’S BEST FRIEND!
HIS valuable Medicine is prepared for
women exclusively, and to be used by women
only. It is adapted especially to those cases
where the womb is disordered, and will cure
any irregularity in the -‘ menses,” except iu
such cases as require a surgical operation. As
these last are very rare, the FEMALE REGU
LATOR is of almost universal application. In
a sudden check of the “ monthly courses ’
from coed, trouble of mind or like cause, it
acts like a charm, by bbstobino the dis
charge IN EVBKY instance, thus relieving the
fever, headache, pain in the small of the back
and “ lower stomach,” flushes of heat about
the face, chilly sensations, burning of the eye
lids, and general restlessness. Taken in time,
all these symptoms pass away immediately,
without injury to the constitution. Frequently,
however, the proper remedy is not applied in
time, the disease becomes chronic, and the
fonndat£>n laid lor numberless evils to the con
stitution of the woman. The next “ turn ”
comes around, and there is no “ show,” or per
haps the “ whites ” will appear. There will be
some uneasiness about the womb, but very lit
tle or none of the natural fluid escaping. The
complexion becomes sallow, bowels swollen,
a sort of greenish caste about the lace, con
stant, dull, aching pains in the head, weight in
the tower stomach und back, with or without
whites, palpitations of the heart, pallor, ex
haustion, indigestion, weariness, langor, aching
across the loins, loss of appetite, pain in left
breast, tightness across the chest, cough and
giddiness. If still allowed to go on, green
sickness” will be fully developed : the head
ache becomes severe, with loss of memory,
diminished sensibility, sick stomach, dyspep
sia, no relish fbr food, loss of flesh, increased
fluttering of the heart, swelling of thkfeet,
legs and body, and occasional spitting of bldod.
The slightest effort causes huhbied breath
ing, almost to suffocation. The skin is flabby,
and has a “ doughy feel.” This is a sad pic
ture, but it is the condition of thousands of
women between the ages of fifteen and forty
five, who are bronght to the grave by igno
rance or neglect to take the proper remedy!
To all who arc afflicted with any of the symp
toms above mentioned, iu connection with an
irregulaiity of the “monthly sickness,” we
earnestly say, TAKE DR. J. BRADFIELD’S
FEMALE REGULATOR. A few ounces taken,
you will at once experience its benefit, and,
with a little patience, you wilt be fully restored
to health.
This remedy has been extensively used for
upward of twenty years by many of the most
experienced and successful physicians iu Geor
gia. No family should be without two or three
bottles.
We repeat, that DR. J. BRADFIELD’S FE
MALE REGULATOR is prepared for women,
and to be used by women only.
A trial is all we ask.
