Diversity in Medicine —An element
of the past progress, and the evidence of
the life and development of the science.
An introductory lecture to the course of
1868 9, by William 11. Doughty, M. D.,
Professor of Materia Mediea and Thera
peutics in the Medical College of Georgia.
Augusta, Georgia. Published by the
Class.
We are indebted to tbo “Class” fora
copy of the above lecture. It will, no
doubt, be found very entertaining and in
structive to those sufficiently familiar with
the subject to appreciate it.
Moina Cotton. —We invite attention to
the card of Rev. Joseph H. Echols, of
Lexington, a Georgia planter, who has suc
ceeded in introducing an upland cotton
nearly equal in every respect to the sea !
island variety and now commanding in the
market sixty per cent, above the price of :
common cotton. We would ODly add, for
the information of those who do not know
him. that Mr Echols is incapable of itn- '
position, and whatever he says may be im- j
jdieitly relied on — Savannah RepuLli an.
We most cheerfully endorse all that the
Republican says of Mr. Echols. We have
known him long and bear willing testimony
to his worth as a man and citizen. We i
/.■now that there is no humbug about the
Moina Cotton. It sold in this market j
yesterday for thirtycents per pound, ginned ;
on a corn non saw gin. With an improved
gin for clearing the seed from the fibre it
would readily bring forty or fifty cents.
The Oglethorpe County Robbery
and Capture of the Thieves —On the
9th instant the house of Mr. Jesse Dalton,
in Oglethorpe county, Ga., was robbed of
$1(1,000 in gold, United States currency
and bank notes. We gather from the
Atlanta papers the following particulars :
A young man, by the name of William
Simpson, who resided near this city, had
been at the house of Mr. Dalton frequently
in tho past five or Hix weeks, and by some
means discovered that Mr. Dalton had a
considerable amount of money in a small
desk which sat upon a table in tho room
adjoining tho one occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Dalton as a sleeping room. After
gotting tho exact location of all things in- j
side tho house, he (Biuipson) left tho
place and oamo to Atlanta. At this place
he met up with a cousin by tho name
of Thomas Weaver. Simpson informed
Weaver of the discovery ho had made, and
prevailed on Weaver to go down with him
(Simpson) and got tho money. Weaver
went, aud upon his arrival at Mr. Dalton’s
passed himself off as a traveller,- and ob
tained permission to stay all night. At
tho usual hour tho family and Weaver re
tired —Weaver in a room in the back part
of the house. Between 10 and 11 o’clock,
Weaver stole from his bed, passed through !
the parlor into Mr. Dalton’s sleeping i
room, and from thence into the rooty where 1
the money was. Hu picked up the desk,
passed out through tho sleeping room into
the parlor and from thcnceout into the road.
He proceeded up the road about a quar
ter of a mile, where he found Simpson,
who had been waiting for him. Both of
them went into a pine thicket by the road
side and broke the box open. They gather
ed up a great many of the papers, and as
well as they could in the dark distinguish
ed them from tho money, which was en
closed in large express envelopes. They
carried off a groat many of the papors, and,
as they report, three of the envelopes and
■ the sack of gold. The rest they left—some
in the box and others scattered on the
ground. After waiting a few days, Mr.
Dalton sent for Capt. John C. Reid, a
lawyer, at Lexington, Ga., and put the
case into his hands, Captain Reid, with
the shrewdness characteristic of himself,
questioned certain parlies and obtained
information as to who the robbers were,
and where they lived. Captain Reid camo
to Atlanta last Wednesday eveniug, and
as Lieutenant Johnson, of the police, bad
been recommended to him as being a num
ber cue detective, ho found Lieutenant
Johnson, and being acquainted with officer
Wooding, he (Keid) informed these two
officers what evidence he had concerning
’ the robbers. They all three (Reid, John
son and Wooding), concluded to ascertain
tho whereabouts of Simpson and Weaver
in order to more fully get the information
desired. Officer Wooding, with the advice
and consent of Captain Reid and Lieut.
Johnson, called on a gentleman in this
city and got information sufficient to start
in search of Simpson and Weaver.
Captain lleid and the two police officers
went into the country and found where the I !
father of Simpson lived. After getting to 1
the house, a young man was sent up to
inquire if he could obtain a hand to do
some work for Colonel J. M. C. Rued.—
The father of Wm. Simpson came to the <
door and talked with the young man. In
the meantime Captain Reid, Lieutenant
Johnson and officer Wooding stationed
themselves near the house, so as to hear
what was said, and not being satisfied with
the advance of the young man at the door,
concluded to go in themselves and see what
could be discovered.. Lieutenant Johnson
entered tir>: and discovered a young man
in bod, and d,‘‘Howare you Bill?” At
that instatr. 0 iptaiu Reid and officer Wood
ing enters; and Simpson being informed
what was the matter, surrendered quietly.
Simpson had sdoo in greenbacks aud over
S2OO in b :nk notes. Simpson confessed
the whole thing immediately. -He was se
cured, and then the party started in search
of Weaver, who was found sft home, about
seven miles from the city, aud with him
was found $789 in greenbacks aud $132 50
in gold After securing Weaver the party
started for the city, where they arrived
about sunrise. Officer Wooding was sent
down to Oglethorpe county with Captain
Reid in eharge of the prisoners. The of
ficer returned Saturday evening, and re
ports $8,200 more had been recovered in
the woods where the box was opened, and
that in all probability the rest will be found,
as the robbers carried the box a eonsidera
blc distance through the woods open. A
thorough search will be made by Captain
Reid and others, with the prisoners for
guides. Simpson and Weaver deny see
ing any of the money except that found
with them and a few dollars they had
spent. Lieutenant Johnson 'and officer
Wooding received an equal portion of the :
reward.
LeQRO SHOT. —A negro man was shot
in the leg and slightly w.muded in a diffi
culty Thursday evening, on Broad street,
near the Lower Market. The negro was
taken to the Freedmen’s hospital for treat
ment,
Proceeds of the Threaticals —We
are.informed by Mr. P. L. Cohen that the
haßdsome sum of three hundred dollars,

theatricals on Wednesday night, was yes
terday distributed among tre following
named ladies for disposal.: Mrs. E. P.
{ Clayton, Mrs W. A. Walton, Mrs. N. B
Moore, the Sisters of Mercy, Mrs. H. F.
Russell, Mrs. C. W. Key and Mrs. Henry
Myers. The total receipts at the Hall were
$550, and the expenses will not be more
thaD from SSO to $75. The balance of the
money is held by the committee and will be i
applied for the relief of any argent case
which may arise.
Quinn’s News Depot. —Mr. Daniel
Quinn has purchased the interest of Mr.
P. Quinn in the well known establishment !
of Quinn’s News Depot, which has been
such a popular resort for the lovers of
books, periodicals and newspapers. The 1
new proprietor, Mr. D. Quinn, understands
his business, and is every way worthy of
an extensive patronage.
His brother, Mr. P. Quinn, has been
in the news business from boyhood, and
knows all about it, as is evident from the
success he has met with here for several
years. His business in Charleston having
extended, it requires his whole time and
attention. Hern; ; the disposal of his place
here to his younger brother.
Both are deserving of abundant success, |
a!! of which we wish them.
The City of Savannah and the
Southwestern Railroad. —The financial
arrangements which have been pending for
| some time past between the above parties
were finally consummated at the meeting of
the City Council of Savannah on last Wed
nesday evening, and the necessary legal pa
pers have been ordered to be drawn up and
-igned. By this arrangement the city of
Savannah transfers to the Southwestern
Railroad 12,383 shares of Atlantic & Gulf
Railroad stock, at par value; 307 shares of
Macon & Western Railroad stock at par ;
424 shares of Savannah k Augusta Rail
road at par, and 1 share of Southwestern
Railroad at par—the total amount being
$1,311,500. The Southwestern Company
also assumes the following bonds, with
interest: Atlantic & Gulf Railroad, due in
20 years, $944,000 ; Southwestern Rail
road, due in 1 year, $117,000; Augusta &
Savannah Railroad, due in 2 years, $1(4,-
500—total amount of bonds $1,235,500.
The City Council having required the en
dorsement of the Southwestern Company’s
guarantee by some other corporation ac
ceptable to them, the Central Railroad will
become their endorser, having an equal
interest in the transaction.
Outrage and Attempted Robbery.—
Thursday mornipg, about 1 o’clock, a party
of three negroes approached the house of a
Mr. Flynn, who lives on the place of Mr.
A. Poullaine, one And a half miles from
the city. One of the negroes knocked at
the door, stating that he had a note to de
liver from a gentleman on the Sand Hills.
Mr. Flyon, suspecting that all was not
right, took his gun, while his wife opened
the door. The door being opened, tho three
negroes jumped into the house, and, before
Mr. Flynn could fire, knocked him down,
seized his gun and cut his ear and head
severely with a large knife. The cries .of
Mr. Flynn and his wile for hdp alarmed
the negroes, and they fled, carrying off the
gun.
Mr. Flynn’s wound is severe, but not
dangerous. The object of the negroes was,
evidently, to rob and, perhaps, murder,
but, fortunately, their hellish designs were
thwarted by the outcries of Mrs. Flynn.
Whiic we are in favor of giving to, and pro
tecting the colored people in, their rights of
person and property, the vicious and law
less among them should be punished se
verely for such an outrage as is here nar
ratedj
The Fire Friday Morning—A Man
Dangerously Burned.— About I o’clock
Friday morning the two and a half story j
brick house on Campbell street, near the j
corner of Greene, was discovered to be on I
lire. The room on lire was occupied by
Mr. John Welsh.
(Japt. Johu Neibling, Foreman Hoso
Carriage No. 1, and others discovered that
there was someone in the room who was
groaning and suffering great agouy. Capt.
Neibling broke a hole in the door in the rear
and crept into the room. After groping j
around in the dense smoke and smoulder- j
ing tire ho found tho sufferer, and dragged j
him insensible to the door; but tho stifling ,
smoke forced him to seek a retreat in the
open air. Chiei Platt, Capt. Neibling and'
others made three unsuccessful attempts
to drag out the unfortunate man, but the
smoke drove them back. Chief Platt sent
some men to the t ruck bouse for ladders,
which, on arrival, were placed against the j
front of the house. The bliuds were then j
broken open; the current of air speidily \
cleared the rooms of smoko and Mr. j
Welch was rescued apparently lifeless. '
On being exposed to the cool air he show
ed signs of life, and prompt medical aid
was rendered. The sufferer was removed
to the City Hospital. He is dangerously
burned, but was doing as well as could be
expected yesterday.
Is is believed that the fire in the fire ;
j place ignited lightwood on the hearth, j
! which, in turn, spread to other articles in
the room, tho smoke stifling and rendering
insensible Mr. Welch, the sole ooeupant.
The gentlemen who first arrived did all in j
their power to rescue him, but the dense
stifling smoke in the room and entry com
pelled them to desist until the arrival of 1
the ladders, when he was rescued as above
i stated.
The only injury to the house is the
burning of a hole in the flooring, and the
injury to the interior of the room, in which
the fire occurred, from fire and water.
It is unfortunate that the Hook and
Ladder Truck is now undergoing repairs.
Had not this been the case Mr. Welch
would have been rescued immediately on
the discovery of tho fire. The question
here arises is it not the part of wisdom to
have a dozen trucks rather than risk the
life of a citizen ? We think so ; and we
hope the proper authorities will - see that
every necessary precaution against loss of
life and property, by fire, is taken.
Skating.— For the first time in many sea
sons uui uiiimna Uftvo oojoyed tbo luxury
of skating, which is generally confined to a
much colder climate than that with which
we have been blessed. Owing to the in
tense cold which has prevailed here during
the greater part of this week, the lagoons
situated between the old Confederate nitre
works and Delaigle’s brick-yard, a short
distance beyond the corporate limits, has
been frozen over their whole surface to a
sufficient dep'h to bear with ease the
weight of the skaters. They have been
largely patronized on Christmas and > es
terday, by those among us who were for
tunate enough to have acquired the noble
accomplishment. The ice was broken in
one place for the purpose of testing its
thickness and was found that the water
had frozen to the enormous depth (for this
climate) of two and a half inches.
Colored G iris Burned by Fire
works. —On Christmas night, while the
city was under the dominion of the demon
of pyrotechnics, a sad accident occurred
near the Waynesboro Depot, in which
two colored girls were badly burned—one
of them being, perhaps, mortally injured.
The girts lived in a small wooden building
near the new track, laid from the Savan
nah to the Georgia railroad, and, during
the licensed saturnalia of the night of the
twenty-fifth, some person threw a species
ot fireworks, known as a "snake,” into the
room which they occupied. The fiery
reptile ran hissing about the apartment
and, coming in contact with one of the
girls, ignited her clothing. Her companion
attempted to rescue her but fire caught
! the apparel of the latter, also, and both of
them were enveloped in the flames. Their
fearful screams soon brought a-sistance
and they were speedily rescued from their
dreadful position. An examination re
vealed the fact that the one who caught
on fire first is seriously, if not fatally, in
, iured, while the last cue is also badly
burned.
jj Christmas if the City.— Christmas
: j day has come an! gone, passing off more
, quietly than it generally does in this lati
: tude. The weather was bitter cold through
out the entire day and probably had a
good deal to do with checking the usual
noisy demonstrations. Shootiug fire crack
ers and hurrahing in the streets hardly
pays when the mercurj ball in the ther
mometer sinks to as lon a point a3 it did
here od the blessed twenty-fifth. Euthu
siasm froze before it c iqki find vent; and
warm parlors and steaming fluids were in
great demand. There were a few undaunt
ed spirits, however, white and black.whom
the weather could not daunt and who had
their fun in the way of pyrotechnics, de
spite of the Clerk of the Weather.
There were the usual services in the differ
! e_nt churches and in moot of them Christ
inas trees had been prepared so? the little
folks. Gen. Thomas Thumb and bis party
of miniature ladies and gentlemen, gave
three receptions at Concert Hall during
the day, each of which as largely attended
by adults, as children. Many of the fire
companies dispensed free egg-uogg at
their engine houses and two of thorn took
their machines out and played for the bev- j
erage, the losing party paying alike for
victors and vanquished.
A false alarm of fire during the day
I stirred up things somewhat ahd caused
the partial destruction of the two bronze
j lions which gaze ferociously oa the passer
by from their position in front of the
Globe Hotel —the “ Pioneer ” Hook and
Ladder truck runniqg against them,
knocking the lions from the pedestals and
making the latter a total wreck. At night
the city was lighted by some beautifel dis
plays ol fireworks; but they were not as
numerous or so brilliant, as on many former
occasions, from the reason which we have
given above. During the evening some
thoughtless parties placed fire in tho hol
-1 low trunk of a large Pride of India tree,
which grew i.i front of Hall, Barber k Cos.,
I on the north side of Broad street, burning
|it to the ground. Two colored girls were
also badly burned by fireworks near the
I Waynesboro Depot, an account of which
will be found elsewhere. With this ex-
I ception we hear of no casualties, and, save
! the usual amount of “drunk aud disorder
i lies,” Christmas passed off with nothing
to mar the harmony of the occasion.
Fatal Accident in Washing ton.—A
young man, about twenty-one years of
age, named Frank Smith, a clerk in the
employ of S. Franklin & Cos., cotton
factors of this city, was killed on Wednes
day last in the town of Washington. Mr.
Smith was a native of Wilkes county, and
left here on Tuesday night to spend Christ
mas with his friends. Before he left here
he purchased a pistol, and when in Wash
ington, on Wednesday, while in conversa
tion with a gentleman named Williams
about the weapon, handed it to him for
irspection. While*engaged in handling
the pistol it, in some manner, was dis
charged, the ball entering Mr. Smith’s
left temple, killing him instantly.
Outrage on a Freedman.— On Thurs
day night last, while a freedman named
Mingo was seated with his family around
the fire in his house, on the south side of
Broad street below the Lower Market, a
pistol was put to a crack in the building
and fired into the room. The shot missed
Mingo, for whom it was evidently intend
ed, but struck one of his children in the
side of the mouth, slightly wounding its
cheek. Tbo pistol was loaded with duck
shot, as the crack through which it was
fired would not admit the passage of a
larger missile.
A Man Run Over by the Cars. —
On Christmas morning, about 9 o’clock,
when the passenger train on the Central
Road had backed from the Union Depot
down near the corner of Washington and
Greene streets, a negro man missed his
footing, while getting on the cars, and the
train passed over one of his legs, severipg
it from bis body. The sufferer was im
mediately taken into the Medical College
and prompt assistance rendered.
Columbia & Augusta Railroad
Bonds. —It will beseeu, upon reference to
onr advertising columns, that the coupons
ol the above road tor JanaaTy will be paid
upon presentation at the City National
Bank of New York, or at the office of
Messrs. John J. Cohen & Son, in this city.
Horrible Crime in Columbia Coun-
TY.---There occurred in the neighboring
county of Columbia, on night before last,
either a most mysterious accident or, what
is more probable, an atrocity unparalleled in
the annals of crime. On Christmas night
a house situated five miles from Appling
Court House, the county site of Columbia
county, and occupied by a Mr. Gabrel
Martin and two grown sisters, was burned
to tiie*ground and its three occupants con
sumed in the flames. The neighbors ar
rived too late to save the bodies from the
fire, but it is generally believed that the
house was first entered by negroes, the
three persons murdered and the premises
set on fire to destroy all evidences -of the
crime. Mr. Martin was supposed to have
had a good deal of money concealed on the
place, and this furnishes the true key to
the whole transaction. It is scarcely
probable that three grown persons would
sleep so soundly as to be burned alive in
the house without a single one escaping.
The Fire in Hamburg.— Early on
yesterday morning the town of Hamburg
was visited by a conflagration, which de
stroyed a large amount of property, and,
but for the prompt efforts of our firemen,
would have consumed a large portion of
the entire town. At about two o’clock
yesterday morning the fire alarm was j
struck, by ‘‘Big Steve,” for Hamburg, .
while nearly every one in the city was j
sunk in a sound slumber after the frolic on j
Christmas, which htd lasted until a late
hour in the night. According to the rules j
which now govern our Fire Department
but one engine is allowed to cross the river ;
on this occasion the duty fell to the j
VigiTant steamer No. 3, which, within
ten minutes after the alarm struck, was at !
the scene of action. Three hose carriages,
that belonging to the Georgia , to A o. 4
and to No. 1, also crossed the bridge with
great rapidity and hastened to their wi rk
of quenching the flames. The fire started
in the hotel on the southwest corner o 1
Main street, catching on the roof from a
spark falling from the chimney. The
building, a large frame house, two and a
halt stories high, was soon enveloped by
the fiery clouds, and efforts to save it were
futile. The hotel, together with the store
room in the first floor and a kitohen at
tached, was entirely consumed. From this
the fire extended north to a brick store,
two and a half stories high, which adjoined
the former edifice. The first floor of this
was also occupied as a store-room by a
Mr. Davis. W e are not ioformed who
were the occupants of the second story, but
believe it was used for a sleeping apart
ment The brick kitchen in its rear also
ignited ; and both structures shared the
fate of the hotel, but little of their con
tents being saved. These buildings being |
destroyed, the next one attacked by the .
devouring elnment, which still extended in
a northerly direction, was a one and a
half story frame dwelling house, adjoining
the brick store and unoccupied at the
time. At this house the engine aDd the
hose companies began to put a cheek up
on the progress of the flames ; for though,
like the others, it was completely destroy
ed, the water commenced to gain on its
ittipOQist and, when it attacked the next
house, occupied by a German lady, name
unknown, succeeded in extinguishing them j
before they had done mueh damage. Thus,
after a conflagration, which lasted for
nearly four hours, and after three large
buildings had been destroyed, the fire was
finally vanquished. Had it not been for j
the gallant and well directed efforts of our i
gallant firemen, there is every reason to
believe that a greater portion of the entire :
town would have been consumed. The
colored men of Hamburg also assisted
| faithfully, and their disinterested exertions
reflect great credit upon themselves.
The buildings destroyed were the prop
erty ot Mrs. Jane Levy, and the hotel was
insured by Messrs. Hall, Barber & Cos.
for fifteen hundred dollars. The building
. was occupied by Mr. Davis and partly in-
J sured in the “Eufala Home” for one thou
sand dollars. Beyond this we can hear of
no other insurance.
I Good Agricultural Reading.—
Thousands of our farmers have never
thought of subscribing, to an agricuituial
, journal. Every farmer should take at
least one. Among the best that we're
ceive is the Carolina Farmer, published ;
monthly, at Wilmington, N, C., by IX m.
11. Bernard, at S2OO per year, in advance, j
The Farmer is not only a handsome work, .
but is filled with an unusual number of 1
: articles devoted to the interests of the
planter and farmer. Send $2 00 for a |
year’s subscription, or 15 cents ior a speci- J
men copy.' The article on pea nuts in the
January number is worth more than a
year s subscription.
Visiting Cards.— Mr. George A.
Oates has favored us wjth some new

The Civilized Cherokees. —A Chero
kee delegation recently passed through St.
j Louis on its way to Washington for the
! purpose of attending to t legeneral interests
j of the nation, but snore especially to urge
! the ratification by Congress of a treaty
I made last July by Commissioner Taylor on
the part of the Government, and Colonel
i Downing, Chief of the Cherokees. The
j St. Louis Republican of the 19th makes
the following interesting statement derived
I from the delegation:
j The intelligent portions of the civilized
] tribes take great interest in the present
\ movements against and the future disposi
] tion of the wild, roving tribes of the plains.
Mr. Reese in this connection gives an in
teresting piece of information. He states
that last spring a joint representation from
the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw and
Creek nations called on General Grant at
the War Office in Washington, and made
a proposition agreeing to make peace with
all the wild tribes below the Arkansas, re
ceive them into their reservations, teach
them the art of civilized life, provided the
gotW-nment on its part would guarantee to
stand by them in every arrangement made
to effect that object. They required that
eyery promise made to these wild Indians
should be kept, and adhered to in good
faith. This the Indian representatives
agree to do at one-twentieth of the cost ex
pended by the Government under the
present system. General Grant seemed to
approve of the general idea, but this was
the last of it, and no further progress was
made in the matter.

The Christinas Tree at St. James’ Church.
Quite a large congregation, composed
principally of children of the St. James’
Sunday School, was gathered in the Church
at 7 o’clock, Thursday evening, lor the
purpose of witnessing the exercises which
were of a very interesting character. An
immense Christmas tree, literally loaded
with presents, toys, bon-bons, etc., was
erected in front of the altar, while the
walls of the Church were gracefully dec
orated with evergreens. The exercises of
the evening were opened with prayer by
Rev. Mr. I. Hopkins, and a beautiful
chant by the choir. Mr. Jos T. Derry
then delivered a brief but appropriate,
chaste and eloquent address to the chil
dren, concluding with wishing them all a
merry and a happy Christmas. Rev. Mr.
Patiilo aud Mr. W. C. Derry, the zealous
aud worthy Superintendent of the Sunday
School, also made brief addresses to the
children. The latter read a report of a
Dumber of children, who had memorized
large numbers of verses in the sacred
Scriptures, and encouraged others to fol
low their example. A large number of
Sunday School books was then presented
to the children. The prizes for the
successful members of the “ Try
Society” were then distributed by the
Pastor, liev. Mr-Patiilo. These consisted
of cards neatly printed, containing the
name of the recipient and the object of the
prize, signed by Mr. Patiilo as President,
and Mr. Calvin as Secretary. The prizes
were very numerous and showed a great
deal of zeal and Industry Tin the part of
the pupils of the school. The members of
this Society are required to read at least
two chapters Jaily in the Scriptures for a
given number of weeks, which are desig
nated in “the Try Almanac,” and those
who receive a certain amount of tickets
are designated “Star perfect,” and receive
a prize as above. The cards are suitable
for framing. After these the presents
from the tree were taken down and dis
tributed amongst those present; teachers
of the Sunday School and the other gen
tlemen of the Congregation assisting in
carrying them around to the little
loiks. It was really amusing to see
how eager each one was to get something,
and how delighted all were with what they
received. These children sang a hymn or
two, and the Choir a couple of chants,
which were very happily rendered.
Capt. Holleyman then came forward and
announced that severalyears ago,fifteen, we
believe, a very small Sunday school
had been organized in the lower part of
the city. It has now grown to number
several hundred, and owes its present suc
cess aud efficiency to its zealous and honor
ed Superintendent, Mr. W. C. Derry. As
a slight token ofappreciation and affection,
the Sunday School bad determined to pre
sent to Mr. Derry a silver service, selecting
him to perform the duty of presentation,
which lie would now do, at the same time
uncovering a splendid service, consisting of
salver, pitcher and goblet.
Mr. Derry was so taken by surprise that
he could scarcely find words to express his
gratitude to his young friends, but he suc
ceeded in doing so in a very neat little
speech; after which the exercises closed
with benediction by Rev. M. Hopkins.
The congregation retired, evidently pleased
with the Christmas Eve entertainment,
and the children, particularly grateful to
their generous Pastor and teachers who
had so kindly provided this festival and
these beautiful oresents for them.

Proclamation from Hie President.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA—A PROCLAMATION.
Washington, December 24, p. m.—
WhereaS, The President of the United
Stales has heretofore set forth several proc
lamations offering amnesty and pardon to
persons who had been or were concerned
in the late rebellion against the law-iul au
thority of the Government of the United
.-States, which proclamations were severally
issued on the Bth day of December, 1863;
on the 26th day of March, 1864; on the 2l)th
day of May, 1865; on the 7th day of Sep
tember, 1867; and on the 4th day of July in
the present year; and whereas, the au
thority of the Federal Government having
been re-established in all the States and
: territories within the jurisdiction of the
i United States, it is believed that such
Presidential reservations aDd exceptions
as at the dates of said several proc
lamations were deemed necess ry and
proper, may now be wisely aud justly
relinquished, aud that one universal am
uesty and pardon for participation in said
rebellion extended to all who have borne
j any part therein, will tend to secure per
manent peace, order aud prosperity
throughout thelaDd, and to renew and ful
ly restore confidence aud fraternal feeling
arnoug the whole people, and their respect
forand attachment to tht National Govern
ment, designed by its patriotic founders
f r general good. Now, therefore, be it
known that I, Andrew Johnson, President
of the United States, by virtue of tbe
j power and authority in me vested by the
Constitution, and in the name of the sov-
- ereign people oi the United States, do j
j hereby proclaim and declare, uncondition- j
ally and without reservation, to all and to ;
j every person, who directly or indirectly '
participated in the late insurrection or re
oellion, full pardon and amnesty, for the j
I offence of treason against the United i
States or adhesion to their enemies - uring j
i the late eiyil war, with restoration of ail
i rights, principles, and immunities under
the Constitution, and the laws which have !
been made in pursuance thereof;
In testimony w-hereof I have signed ;
these presents with my hand and have
caused the seal of the United States to bS
i hereunto affixed. Done at the City of
Washington this the twenty-fith day of
December in the year of our Lord' one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight
1 and of the Independence of the United
I States of America the ninety-third.

A distinguished Methodist Minister and
| prominent Temperance Lecturer, once re
i marked that go where he would, from one
end of the country to the other, he hardly
1 ever failed to find Plantation Bitters, and
while he condemned the practice of using
these Bitters too freely, he could not con
scientiously say that he would discard
them from the sideboard, for he himself
had experienced beneficial results from
their use, and that, from a long and close
observation, he was convinced that when
used moderately, and as a med oe ex
clusively, they were all that recom
mended. At the same time he warned his
hearers not to puli the cork too often, for
they were far too pleasant a tonic to trifle
with.
