Tnk Bridwell Murder. —The Atlanta
papers contain the particulars of the mur
der of J. W. Bridwellj to which we alluded
on yesterday. Circumstances led to the
arrest of a youth named James T. Wright,
who confessed the murder. He says that
Bridwell came home with his aunt, who
lives in a low den in the suburbs of the
city, and, while there, offered her some in
dignity, which led to a quarrel, during
which Bridwell drew a knife and he shot
him. The body was shockingly mutilated ;
the jaw fractured —skull broken—one eye
gone—one anil broken —and still another
mutilation more horrible than the rest. —
The? e are not explained by the confession,
which is corroborated by the statement of
one of the women who lived at the house
where the killing occurred. A negro was
paid two dollars to convey the body to the
woods, and promised the watch of the de
ceased, wliicn was found hid in the leaves,
and pointed out by Wright. Wright says
lie was opposed to concealing the body, but
was persuaded to do it. There appears to
be some mystery in the affair, and great
interest is manifested to bring out the
whole truth. It is pretty evident that
Bridwell was killed for his money. Wright,
the negro, and two women are under ar
rest, and others were to -be arrested. It is
a most revolting affair, in all its details.

PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION*.
tetter from H. W. Hilliard.
Woodlawn, July 9, 18GG.
Mu Dear Sir Some days si nee you did
me the honor to invite me to give my views
of the true policy of the South in regard
to the proposed National Convention to as
semble in Philadelphia on the 14th of Au J
gu.-t next.
The object of the Conventiop must meet
the approval of eyerv patriotic man in the
country. It is to"obliterate the lines which
divide the people of the United States;
lines traced by the hand of War ; and to
restore those fraternal relations which
bound the States to each other in the bet
ter davs of the Republic. The theory of
President Johnson as to the status of the
Southern States is beyond all question the
true one. The ordinance “of secession, in
tended as a Declaration of Independence,
by the several States, could only he made
good by success in arms The failure to
maintain upon the field the solemn decla
ration made by the States that undertook
to sever their connection with the Federal
Government, was decisive of the question
of their independence. The Conventions
since held in the several seceding States,
have given that interpretation to the re
sults of the war.
Whatever opinion may be entertained
by statesmen as to the right of the Gen
eral Government to coerce a State into
obedience to its authority, still it is true
that all the States that attempted to secede
from the Union, to-day recognize the
jurisdiction of the Government of the
United States, and yield implicit obedience
to its laws.
The object of the proposed Convention
is not only to bring together the represen
tatives of the people of all the States, that
they may give their formal expression of
approval of this doctrine; hut it is Pi afford
the opportunity for deliberation ; for a
friendly interchange of opinion, and for
effecting an organization of the friends of
the President’s policy. It is a far nobler
object than the mere strengthening of the
claims of any man to office. The Presi
dent holds at this time a great position.
His patriotic course entitles him to the
support of all the friends of Constitutional
liberty. But the object of the National
Convention is to accomplish something far
greater than to strengthen the hands of the
President. It proposes to inaugurate the
supremacy of the people over faction. It
will be the first assembling in Convention
of the people of all the Htatos since the
lyihappv disruption of their ancient rela
tions. I hope that the South will be fully
represented.
In my whole political life I have con
tributed what I could to the repression of
a sectional spirit. I have firmly believed
that the true interests of the States of the
South were to he advanced by binding still
more closely the relations which connected
them with the other States of the Union
—that nothing was to he gained by segre
gation ; that distrust was not to be en
couraged ; that the people of this country,
united under a common Government, had
a great destiny to accomplish.
Taking part, as we did, with the people
of our section in tbeir late struggle, those
of us who held my opinions as to the policy
of secession, while true to the Sout. in her
heroic efforts to maintain the position
which she had assumed, yet felt it to he
our duty to give a prompt support to the
Government of the United States upon the
restoration of peace. No good can be ef
fected by cherishing resentments. The
battle was fought with ardor and courage.
The Government that overpowered us is
our own Government. The country that it
embraces is our country. It has never oc
curred to me that any good could be ac
complished by yielding it up to the control
of others, or by withholding our support
from a Government which is still the Gov
ernment of our country. It seems to me
wiser to abide by the fortunes of our coun
try, and to seek to give direction to that
Government, which must affect, for all the
coming centuries, the destiny of ourselves
and our children.
The phraseology of the call for the Con
vention is open to objection. But the im
portance of the object of the Convention
is too great to suffer us to decline to meet
our friends, who wjll doubtless accord to
us in that body all our rights. I cannot
permit myself to doubt that anv one
friendly to the Government of the United
States, administered in the spirit of the
Constitution, will be welcomed as a mem
ber of the Convention, without reference
to his relations to that government during
the late war. This is the spirit that must
guide the deliberations of that body, if it
is to accomplish any good result.
Very respectfully,
Your out serv’t,
Henry' W. Hilliard.
FROM MEXICO.
Financial Affairs of the Emperor-Taxa
tion—Railroad Projects—The Cordova
Colony—Death of a Popular Georgian—
The Date Liberal Successes.
[Special Correspon nee of the Chronicle ft Sentinel.]
Jalapa, June 20. 1866.
Editors Chronicle & Sentinel s—l avail
myself of the first leisure, since my arrival,
to give your readers the promised notes of
my observations in this strange country.—
That which just now attracts most atten
tion, is the query : How loug the Emperor
can stand the present financial troubles,
and keep a force intact sufficient to resist
the Liberals. who are of late putting forth
unusual efforts to regain possession of the
country? It is stated that the Emperor
has made an arrangement with Napoleon,
by which he is to receive 500,000 francs
(or about $100,000) a month, from France,
to defray his pressing claims : in addition
to which, his Austrian and French troops
are to be paid out of the French Exche
quer.
To provide against future contingencies,
Maximilian has just issued a tax decree
which wiH yield, it is thought, an ample
revenue for the future expenses of his Gov
ernment. It is based on the production,
or income of property, and not in propor
tion to capital invested. The quota of tax
ation is to be the sixth part, ot the net in
come. when in a city ; or a seventh paTt.
when in the country; and is to be paid in
three installments in advance —one-third
by the 10th of January, one-third by the
10th of May, and the balance by- the 10th
of September. The rent which property
commands, or commanded the year before,
is taken as the basis of taxation. Where
property has not been rented, the net in
come is estimated on what remains to the
owner after deducting the expense of pro
duction. National and Church property,
and property held without rent for any
public use. is exempt from taxation. In
addition to this tax, the drainage tax of
1-10th of one per cent, is still in force;
also, there is decreed a tax of a half real
(6) cents) for every 35,112 metres square,
or 50.000 rasas square ; ami smaller places
will pay a half real. (A real is 12} cents,
and a metre is nearly 40 English inches.)
These levies will yield, it is an
ample revenue for the support of the Gov
ernment. without aid from abroad. They
are, it will be seen, very onerous. There
are other taxes on commodities of general
use. which I cannot enumerate.
The Railroad interests of the Empire are
not making much headway —that from
Vera Cruz to Mexico is partially done, but
numerous other lines projected have not
yet been commenced.
The Cordova colonists, which were re
cently interrupted by a band of lawless
guerrillas, some of whom claimed to be
Literals, have, I learn, all been liberated,
and are organizing a little force for self-de
fence, and with the limited aid promised
them by the Government, are realizing a
partial sense of security. Notwithstand
ing their recent interruption, some pro
gress is being made by colonists from the
States, and grants are being issued to ac
tual settlers as heretofore. Many, how
ever, are sick of the situation, and anxious
to get away.
A gentleman well-known in Georgia. Mr.
S. Lanier, son of the popular landlord of
that name, formerly of Macon, and now
residing I believe near Montgomery, in Al
abama —recently died in this place. He ar
rived here a short time ago, in feeble
health, hoping to find restoration in this
pure and balmy clime. But his disease,
which was- regarded of a pulmonarv char
acter, had progressed too far. and he sunk
quietly away, and found a last resting
place in this land of strangers. His wife
was with him. and he received the kindest
attention from the people of Jalapa, who
are eminently kind and hospitable. His
lady is pleasantly situated, and has con
cluded to remain here until the fall.
The Liberal successes in some of the
border districts, while they occasion some
surprise, do not appear seriously to shake
the faith of the adherents of Maximilian,
who regard them as the spasmodic stuggles
of an effete party, which must soon yield
to the mild, hut firm sway of that popular
sovereign. I must say that Ido not share
largely in these hopeful auguries, and would
not like to risk much on the issue. Ido not,
however, hesitate to say that I believe the
failure oi the Imperial cause here will be a
calamity to the country. These people are
so much divided into ‘factions and classes
that no liberal form of government can be
maintained, and if* 1 Maximilian falls, it ap
pears to me that it must relapse into an
intolerable state of anarchy. The sym
pathy in the United States for the Liberals
is, -therefore, only doing mischief, unless
there is a settled purpose to displace Maxi
milian ; and if such be the purpose, it
should be done by. such active and material
aid as will decide the fate of the contend
ing interests. The Liberals are unques
tionably encouraged by the hope of aid
from Washington, and 4 it is quietly
hinted that private guarantees have al
ready been made from parties in high
financial positions—whether with or without
the cognizance of the Government is not
stated.
The capture of the immense train, of
supplies and specie near Matamoras was a
serious reverse for the Imperialists, and
involved the fall of Matamoras. The de
fection of u native regiment is assigned as
the sole cause Os the whole chain of disas
ters.
The hour for the departure of the
mail is close at hand, and 1 must close.
Montezuma.
THE PORTLAND FIRE.
Interesting Particulars.
The New' York papers contain several
columns of details of the late terrible con
flagration at Portland, from which we con
dense the most interesting facts, for the
information of such of our readers as are
familiar with the beautiful “Forrest City
Two hundred acres of territory, com
pactly filled with dwelling and business
houses were swept by the tornado of flame,
and 10,U00 to 12,000 people rendered home
less.
The fire commenced a little below the
foot of Light street, and next burnt up
Hall’s flouring mill, and then Brown’s
sugar house with all its surroundings, then
Staples & Sons and Richardson's founde
ries, and nothing else on Commercial street
of consequence. It next swept what is
called Graham’s corner, composed of small
wooden buildings, clean. It then burnt up
as far as the old Varnam House on Pleasant
street, one-third the way up Center street,
half the way up Cotton street, completely
up Cross street, Union street, Temple
street, and Exchange street. It swept
down on the north side of Fore street, and
moved along to India street, where East
White fronts diagonally across Middle
street, and down to Cumberland, taking
the Elm House, but sparing the First Par
ish Church, and then from Chestnut to
North streets, and made a clean sweep on
the south side of Cumberland street; and
the same was the case with Congress street
and everything else to Fore street, as far
east as India. The ruin and destruction
is very great. Davis, B. & Cos., on Fore
street, wholesale dealers in fancy articles,
set down their loss at $25,01*0, which is
fully insured in the /Etna Company, Hart
ford, and the Hampden Company, Hart
ford.
The upper side of Fore street is swept
clear to India, except, two buildings on the
corner of India street. Wood’s marble
hotel, the Fireman House, the American
House, the Elm Hotel, the International
House, the Commercial House, and the
Sturdevant House and Kingsbury’s Hotel
are all destroyed. The Preble and United
States hotels alone escaped. All the banks
of the city—seven in number —were de
stroyed. The papers and money of the
National Traders’, and the first and second
National,-escaped in their vaults, without
injury.
The gas works were destroyed.
The building whose loss is most deplor
ed is the new city hall. It was regarded
secure, and wasfilled with immense stores of
goods and valuables, taken there for safety;
but it caught in the dome, and this falling
through, soon set the building on fire, and
it was quickly destroyed. This building
cost $400,000, but could not now be re
placed for twice that sum.
The Methodist Church, near the city
hall —a fine structure, worth about $70,-
000 was saved by having iron shutters to
the windows.
The loss of the Natural History build
ing, containing rare and valuable collections
which cannot he replaced, is much deplor
ed.
The heaviest individual loss was that of
Brown, the sugar refiner, estimated at
$1,000,000 —including his immense works,
and many valuable houses. His fine resi
dence was outside the path of the fire.
We'cannot of course yield space to a list
of all the sufferers ; Deering, Milliken &
Cos, drv goods merchants lost $200,000;
partly insured; Woodman, True & Cos,
woolen dealers lost $150,000 ; J. E. Dan
nels, real estate, $120,000; W. W. Thomas,
real estate, $90,000; W. T. Phillips & Co.’
druggists, lost $35,000; Elias Thomas and
wife, real estate, $75,000; Evans Block,
$35,000 ; Nathan Cummings and family
$50,000; A& 8. Shurtleff, shoe dealers,
$50,000 ; Davis Brothers, stationers. $30,-
000: Bailey & Noyes, stationers $35,000 ;
A. W. Clapp, real estate, $60,000 ; all
these were partially insured. The list of
those who lost SI,OOO to SIO,OOO, embraces
several hundred, and would fill several
colums.
All the newspaper. offices were burned,
and the papers are issuing slips. They
will go out of town to print for the present.
The Press has ordered new material, and
published proposals for the ei eetion of a
new office.
The scenes during the fire were beyond
description. The hurried moving of goods
from one point, only to have them burned
in another —the care of invalids hustled
into the streets on luatresses. and borne
through the excited throng—the moans of
the homeless, and the universal consterna
tion and distress, were too heart-rending
for recital.
The unstinted hospitality of the neigh
boring cities prevented any serious suffer
ing for food, though scarcely a place was
left in the city where supplies could be pur
chased. Long trains of cars loaded with
bread, cooked meats and fixtures for serv
ing hot coffee went over in a few hours
from Boston. All the surrounding towns
and cities contributed, without stint, to the
sufferers. Meetings have been held in
most of the Northern and Eastern cities to
solicit subscriptions for the needy, and in
Boston alone the cash subscriptions in one
dav were $25,000.
Portlan 1 was considered the most beau
tiful city on the continent. Its noble shade
trees had been the object of especial care—
the city paying a large salary to a Forester,
who devoted all his time, with several as
sistants. to planting, pruning and preserv
ing the trees, which are chiefly ruined by
the fire. »

himself at Lebanon. Pennsylvania, on Fri

Ohio, on the 20th.
Garibaldi.
Among the military heroes who will soon
become conspicuous in the Eurojiean war,
few will command more attention in the
United States than Garibaldi. So filled
up wfith vicissitude lias been his checkered
life, and his personal history is so identified
with great events, that his career will be
watched, irrespective of the cause which lie
may espouse. At present, having left his
island home at Caprera, he is with the
vanguard in the armies of the Italian
kingdom, fighting for Yenetia, and in his
oval person will be a perfect embodiment
of the spirit of ‘' young Italy. ' The mem
' ory of the exploits of his red-sliirted vol
unteers. still fires the enthusiasm of the
youth of the nation. The chance of a war
with Austria is seized on by this class with
an avidity that could ill brook the restraint
imposed by years of peace. They thirst
for Rome as the capital, hoping to re-es
tablish the ancient prestige of the empire;
they demand Yenetia to restore the integ
rity of the national domain, and, in their
ardor for liberty, cherish very little vene
ration for his Holiness Pius IX. because
the great ecclesiastical establishment which
he represents is supposed to be inimical to
free institutions. They once fought the
eagles of Austria, but their work was lef t
unfinished by the peace of \ illafranoa, and
they now strike for Italy s complete re
demption. The period of inaction has
ended.
Garibaldi is now sixty years of age,
having been horn at Nice, July 4, 1806. In
1834 he was already a political exile, on
account of revolutionary views, and soon
found an opportunity to embark for Brazil,
where he at first engaged in commercial
pursuits, which proved uncongenial, and
soon after he espoused the cause of l Jraguay,
then fighting for her independence. On
another occasion lie organized a flotilla, for
the defence of Montevideo, at various
times commanding an Italian legion. A
portion of the latter accompanied Garibaldi
to Italy in 1848, to join the forces of
Charles Albert, in Piedmont. He was
repeatedly in sharp engagements with the
French and Austrians, always acquitting
himself with valor, and gaining wide re
pute for adroit military manoeuvres. Being
finally overpowered by disparity of num
bers, he rejected the Austrian offer for
surrender, and, with a small remnant of his
force, made his way toward Venice in
fishing-boats, intending to elude the squad
ron blockading that port. He gained the
shore, and survived many perils, the pun
ishment of death being decreed against all
who should afford him food or shelter.
Meanwhile his devoted wife, Anna (to
Whom he was married in South America,
and who had accompanied him through
every vicissitude); died, overcome with ex
haustion. Fleeing through Tuscany and
Sardinia, the unfortunate man took refuge
on a friendly vessel, arriving in New York
in 1850, there to engage in the humble occu
pation of making candles on Staten Island.
After a time he resumed his former occu
pation as mariner; but availed himself of
the privilege of returning to Italy, and in
1859 once more entered the list against the
Austrians. Peace found Garibaldi among
the victors, but, as the event proves, peace
was not lasting, and he has once more
buckled on the sword to finish the work.
A Lover’s Race for Liberty and License.
[From the Ohio State Journal, June 28. J
Last week, in a town not a thousand
miles from Columbus, a young man who
loved wisely and well, proposed, was ac
cepted, and proceeded to procure the mar
riage license from the proper official in the
country town. He was a little sensitive on
the point of publicity, and left home for a
horseback ride to said county seat,
dressed apparently in his old every-day
clothes. Under these, however, he wore
his “ Sutaday-go-to-meetins, ” and on
nearing the point ■of destination, hitched
liiS horse, laid off his old clothes, and trip
ped lightly over the bridge into town, a
•very dandy in unruffled smoothness. It
so happened that he shed his clothes and
tied his horse near a stream of considera
ble depth. Men discovered both, and soon
concluded that some reckless young man
had been drowned. The subject was thor
oughly canvassed, and preparations made to
drag the stream for the body. A large
crowd had collected bv this time, and the ex*
citement was intense. The proceedings were
stopped by an excited individual plunging
across the bridge, springing on the horse,
and galloping away. The inference at
once was, that the young man had stolen
the horse, and several farmers started im
mediately in pursuit. Young man saw
them and whipped up to full speed. The
race was a close one for several miles,
when he dodged them by taking a by
path through the woods. He was again
discovered, nowever, and again the chase
commenced, the pursuit being joined in
hv many new comers with fresh horses.
Pell-mell, rough and tumble, the pursued
and pursuers went through the country
for many miles, creating everywhere ex
citement. At last the young man neared
the residence of his intended bride. He
rode at once to the gate, dismounted, and
plunged into the house, as the pursuing
party dashed up, he declaring that they
‘‘couldn’t have his license without riding
hard for them,” and that he wouldn’t give
them up without a fuss. Explanation
succeeded explanation, and there was a
hearty laugh at the expense of the un
sophisticated youth who had been pur
sued as a,horse thief, but who only labored
under the misapprehension that his pur
suers wanted to rob him of his marriage
license.

THE PHILADELPHIA CO3TVEXTIOX.
Comments of the Northern Press.
That sterling State Rights journal the
New York News, commenting on the
address of the Democratic members of Con
gress, endorsing the Philadelphia Conven
tion. says:
“The style and temper of this address
are admirable. It ignores the divisions
which have heretofore existed amongst
those who are opposed to the destructive
principles and measures ot' the Radicals,
and prepares the way for the earnest and
hearty co-operation of all those who desire
the perpetuation of the Union, and the well
being of the State and the people of this
great country. This is in the true Demo
cratic spirit,"and as such we accept it, and
give our voice to the proposed movement.
“In order to restore the Southern States
to all their rights and privileges under our
common Government, we are willing to
act with those who have been our worst
foes. We shall ask but one question, and
that is, ‘Are you willing to unite with us,
without reference to the past, in carrying
out a policy which shall have for its object
the welfare of the whole people, and the
rights of all the States? Shall the Union
be maintained in the spirit of its original
creation? Shall the South be restored to
her rightful position in this galaxy of
States? And shall tlio Radicals and De
structionist l>c hurled from the places which
they have usurped and disgraced? With
all who will unite with us to accomplish
these ends, we will heartily and zealously
co-operate, whether we differed with them
or not, during the progress of the war.
“We therefore recommend and advise
the Peace Democracy to unite in sending
delegates to the Convention, and in mak
ing it a demonstraton of power and sig
nificance. In the language of the Con
gressional Address, let us unite “to the
end that all the States shall at once be re
stored to their practical relations to the
Union, the Constitution be maintained,
and peace bless the whole country.”
The New York World , though at first
opposed to the Convention, because it
thought it might lead to a division in the
Democratic party, is more favorable to
the movement since the publication of the
address of the Democratic members of Con
gress.
It says that it is not to be supposed that
it can supercede the Democratic organiza
tion, or be to it other than an auxiliary
association. It adds :
“The probable purpose of the Philadel
phia Convention is to form anew political
party. The political views expressed both
in the call and address are such as no true
Union man can take exception to ; and the
question whether anew party is the Attest
means, or a desirable adjunct to other
means, for giving them effect, is a lair
topic of discussion. ”

Special Correipondence of the Chronicle A Sentinel.
Atlanta, July 0.
Messrs. Editors : Much as you hear of
the growth of Atlanta, you can scarcely
conceive the amount of progress that lias
been made in the last twelve months.
Nearly all the burnt district is covered with
substantial business houses. A project is
being canvassed to rebuild the Atlanta
Hotel, with ten or twelve stores in the
first story. The Rolling Mill is about com
pleted, on a much larger scale than the old
establishment, being 307x80 feet. It is to
contain two furnaces and two mills —one
for making bar iron and railway spikes,
and one for rolling railroad iron. The first
is intended to turn out 12 or U tons a day
—the latter will turn out 50 tons of rails a
day. The foundry attached, 140x70 feet,
will he done in a few weeks.
A builder here told me that he had de
signs in hand for about $400,000 worth of
work, a great portion of which he thought
would De carried forward immediately.
Private houses are going up in every direc
tion, •and the city has almost regained its
old population.
The Air Line Railroad from Atlanta to
Anderson, in South Carolina, is again at
tracting attention, and a Northern compa
ny are negotiating for control of the stock.
Why is it that Augusta sleeps over her fine
manufacturing facilities, and railroad con
nections? While a large portion of the
power of ourcanal are running to waste, Co
lumbus is building Steam Cotton Mills, At
lanta erects Foundries, and manufacturing
villages are springing up in every direction
—at West Point, at Steadman, Kaolin —
and in remote points possessing far less ad
vantages than our city affords. And all
because our money is locked up in cotton
or in huge files of merchandise, waiting for
a market. Cotton is a good thing, and
trade a sort of necessary evil —but for the
real solid public good, next to agricultural
pursuits, give us manufacturing.

Further from the Battle between the
Brazilians and Paraguayans.
The battle between the Brazilians and
Paraguayans, May 2d, proves to have been
the most severe since the beginning of the
war. Falling by surprise on the allied
camp, President Lopez captured four guns
almost without resistance. A letter from
Buenos Ayres says:
Gen. Flores commanded the vanguard,
and was in camp during the surprise. He
rallied his men, and his favorite regiment,
being some hundreds at 11 o'clock A. M.,
was only 40 by BP. M. He was complete
ly surrounded, and was failing fast when
the Brazilian Gen. Osorio came up with a
strong reinforcement, and learning the
danger of Flores, sent a regiment with posi
tive orders to rescue him. It was a regi
ment of Brazilian volunteers, and they cut
through a solid body of Paraguayans and
brought Gen. Flores out alive, • leaving
nine-tenths of their number dead behind
them. Flores had, when attacked, only
four battalions of infantry, a few cavalry
soldiers, and four guns, and the force that
fell on him was estimated variously from
6,000 to 10,000. He had two horses shot
under him, and also lost three flags. Only
two days before Gen. Osorio had besought
him not to remain in so dangerous a place
as he had selected for his camp. The
latest account of the battle says that the
allies lost 1,500 men, and Paraguay lost
2,310. Gen. Mitre reports they left 1,200
dead on the field, and also left 800 muskets
and a host of prisoners. At night the
allies held the battle-field and two miles in
advance.

(From Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist
Church, Philadelphia.)
Gentlemen: I have recently been laboring under the dis
tressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of
the nervous system. (Numerous remedies were recommended
by friends, and some of them tested, but without relief. Your
lloofland’s German Bitters were recommended by persons who
had tried them, and whose favorable mention of these Bitters
induced me to try them. I must confess that I had an aversion
to Patent Medicines from the “ thousand and one” quack
Bitters whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and
drugged liquor upon the community in a sly way, and the ten
dency of which, 1 fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard.
L pan learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation,
I took ltvwith happy effect. JYs action, not only upon the
stomach, but upon the nervous system, was prompt and grati
fying. I feci that I have derived great and permanent benefit
ftrom the use of a few bottles.
Very respectfully yours, W. D. Seigfriep,
No. 254 Shackaniaxon street.
(jom the Rev. E. Dr. Fendall, Assistant Editor Christian
Chronicle, Philadelphia.)
I have derived decided benefits from the use ofHoofland’s
German Bitters, and feel It my privilege to recommend them as
a most valuat le tonic to all who are shffering from a general
debility, or from diseases arising from derangements of the
liver. Yours truly, E.D. Fendaj.l.
(From!Rev. D. Merrige, Pastor of the Passyunk Baptist
Church, Philiwlelphia.)
From the many respectable recommendations given to Dr.
lloofland’s German Bitters, I was induced to give them atrial.
After using several bottles I found them to be a good remedy
for debility, and a most excellent tonic for the stomach.
D. Merkige.
(From Rev. William Smith, formerly Pastor of theVincen
towli and Milville (N. J.) Baptist Churches.)
Having used in my family a number of bottles of your Hoof
land’s German Bitters, I have to say that I regard tl>em as an
excellent medicine, specially adapted to remove the diseases
they are recommended for. They strengthen and invgonite
the system when debilitated, -and are useful in disorders of the
liver, loss of appetite, etc. I have also recommended them to
several of my friends, who have tried them, and found them
greatly beneficial in the restoration of health.
Yours truly, Wsf. Smith.

(From the Rev. Joseph H. Kennard, Pastor of the Tenth Bap
tist Church.)
I have been frequently requested to connect ray name with
commeudaiiotis of different kinds of medicines, but regarding
the practice as out of my appropriate sphere, 1 iiave in all cases
declined: but with a clear proof in various instances, and par
ticularly in my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. H Gotland's
German Bitters, 1 depart for once from my usual, course, to ex
press my full conviction that, for general debility of the system
and especially for liver complaint, it is a safe and valuable pre
paration. In some cases it may fail, but usually, I doubt not
it will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the above
causes.
Yours, very respectfully, J. H. Kennakd,
