[From the Sunday Magazine.} ACCEPTABLE SERVICE. 1 longed to bring an offering to my King, I longed for song that I His name might Bing, I longed for wealth to boy Him incense sweet, I longed for rank to throw it at Hih feet. But I was poor and crippled and alone, I'd nothing but my trials to call my own ; And whiles I let my heart grow said and sore. That some could give so much who loved no more. The bitterness crept oven to my prayer, Crying, “O Lord, doth not Thy pity care ? Thou givest all, hut givest naught to me, Who crave it hut to give it hack to Thee!" Oas day I slept and dreamed. Mothought there came. An angel with the loved apostle’s name, And he looked sadly on me as he said. ■“Thine offering before the King is laid. ‘Thy poor spoiled offering ! Was it meet that such He paid to Him whose love gave thee so much, (lave thee His rarest gold need's heavy chain; Gave thoe His highest rauK --the crown of pain ? “For richest gifts should come from hands like thiue, HintV Patience, Failli and Peace build God s bn.it shrine.

A TOUCHING POEM. 'ilie following was one of the latest composi tions in verse from tlio pen of the Iflje John U, Thompson : CARCASSONNE. [From the French of Gustavo Nadaud.) I’m growing old. I've sixty years ; I've labored all my life in vain ; In all that time of hopes and fears I've failed my dearest wish to gain. I see full wall that hero below liliss unalloyed there is for none, II v prayer will ne'er fulfillment know— I never liavo seen Carcassonne. i nover have seen Carcassonne! Yon see the city from the hill, It lies beyond the mountains blue, And yet to roach it one must still Five long and weary leagues pursue, And to return, aw many more! Ah ! had the vintage plenteous grojvn ! The grape withheld its yellow store; I shall not laok on ('arcassonne. I shall not look on Carcassonne ? They tell me every day is there Not more nor less than Sunday gay ; In shining robes and garments fair The people walk upon their way. One guzes there on cast e walls As grand as those of Babylon, A llishop ami two Generals ! I do not know fair Carcassonne. I do not know fairCaroassone ! The vicar's right: he says that wo Aro ever wayward, weak and blind ; He tolls us iu his homily Ambition ruins all mankind ; Yet could 1 there two days have spent, Whilo still the Autumn sweetly shone, Ah. me! 1 might have died content When 1 had looked on Carcassonne. When I had looked on Carcassonne. Thy pardon, Father, I beseech, In this my prayer if I offend ; One something sees beyond his reach From childhood to his journey's end.

Andrew McLeod testified that he was in the ward cult ting coal where the fire took place. They always worked their place witli sulphur. Can’t say how much gas was iu the ford. Always used pow der after the 1 third shot. Had fired two shots, aud was preparing to fire the third when he discovered the ford was ou fire. He endeavored to pnt it out by the ordi nary means, with wet bags, but after working over fifteen minutes and the fire gaining on them, he called for assistance and two men came exhausted and made for the slope. All of them went out to the landing, shutting the door behind them. Joe Richardson then came down and directed the men to get at the fire, but he soon returned and gave directions for all the men and horses to come out. Witness then started for the opening, aud scarcely reached the mouth of the slope when the mine exploded, throwing him out oil the bank. There were some men behind him and one before him. Director Pool said the witness’ testi mony relating to firing the shot had a most important bearing on the cause of the disaster. It is evident the first and second shots had a decided effect and blew down the coal. The third shot, however, was only a blown out shot. It opened a crack in the bench, which then became a reservoir for aeeumulating gas. The latter immediately ignited and set lire to the coal, which burned with great rapidity, engendering intense heat and smoke, making it impossible for the men to work, Itobt. McLeod, who fired the shot which evidently caused the disaster, escaped, but is too ill to attend the in - qniiy. Two or three witnesses were examin ed to-day, whose evidence went to show that most of the men were in the slope endeavoring to get out when the ex plosion took place. Adam le<fimcf testified : He was in the mine when the ()fe took place, and made his way out as fast as possible. When he got to the slope lie found it obstructed with boxes and rubbish. There were over thirty men lying down at this point, all'evidently injured, as they were groaning. Some of them could neither move nor speak, L»r imer was obliged to step and crawl over their bodies, in order to make his way out. Oil the way up he passed several umt w}U) were lying down, crying and ttn•suii.*, Pat unable to help themselves, lie-was the iast 4MW alive out of the I>it, and helped out nother^ Passed a man landing. The jury returned the diet : We find the miners came to „.' eir death by an explosion of gas in the Drummond colliery, caused by a de rangement in the ventilation of the mine arising from fire in Robert McLeod’s ward. They say considerable cate was exhibited iu the management of the mine, but express regret that powder was permitted to be used iu the ward worked by Robert McLeod. A fund for the relief of the distressed widows and orphans will be raised. Re lief meetings will be held this evening in New Glasgow and Westville. Considerable lire is still issuing from the slopes, although the workmen are laboring strenuously to smother it. European Opinion on the Cotton Trade. The following circular on the position of the cotton trade in Europe to the 30th September last, signed “X., Fau bourg St. Denis,” just issued in Paris, and credited with having exercised con siderable influence on the operations of merchants of Havre, will serve as an illstration of the views which are begin ning to prevail in Europe relative to the prospects of the cotton trade : The stocks of cotton on land and afloat on the 30th of September in the follow ing years stood thus: 1870, 1,10-1,000 bales ; 1871,1,371,000 bales ; 1872,1,777,- 000 bales. America in 1872 produced 2,852,000 bales and exported 1,957,000 bales. In 1873 the crop will reacli 3,750,- 000 bales, aud the minimum exports will be, at all events, 2,750,000 bales. Europe will thus receive from America in 1873 793,000 bales more than in 1872. The exports from India to Europe as early as 1808 were 1,721,0(H) bales and in 1871 1,715,000 bales. Now, taking into con sideration the increased cultivation of the plant, and the excellent yield of the present crop, we may, without fear of exaggeration, lix the exports from that quarter for this year at 1,850,000 bales as against 1,428,000 bales last year, thus showing a surplus of 422,000 bales from India to Europe. From other cotton producing countries we may estimate the supply to be much the same as last vear, for if Brazil gives us this year 100,- 000 bales of 140 pounds each less than last, Egypt shows an increase of 70,000 bales to 100,000 of 300 pounds to S(H) pounds each ; thus, at least, counter balancing the other deficiency. By this calculation the import into Europe for 1873 will exceed that of last year by 1,251,000 bales. Now, we know that the importation in 1872 showed on the 30tli September a surplus of 406,000 bales over 1871 iwe hike the circular of Oft Trnmbler for our authority). Supposing, then, that the consumption of 1873 will equal that of 1872 (greater, certainly, it will not he, for 1872 had to fill au enor mous deficit, whilst now stocks in manu facturers' hands, particularly on the Continent, are lieavv. if not excessive), the stock of cotton both on hand and afloat will show on the 30th September the fabulous surplus of 1,828,000 bales, or 160 per cent, over 1870, as the follow ing statement proves: Bales. Surplus of importation from America. 1878 over 1872 798.000 Sunil us of importation from India. 1873 over 1872. Stock UUtli September, 1872 1.777,000 Stock... 1873 Agaiust stock ui 1872 1,1b4,000 Surplus stock m 1873 over 1870 1.828.000 These figures are quite as reliable as those which I furnished on the 10th of June last, as the visible supply up to the 30th of September of the same year. Public opinion then estimated the same at 790,000 bales, whilst it really turned out to be 1,437.000 bales, and when, in stead of the prices rising as expected, there was a decline. Iu 1870 the crop in America was 3,- 035,000 bales. The following year was not expected to be as large as it sub stantially proved to be, and stocks on this side were comparatively small. Yet the price of low middling iu Liverpool* which in April was 11 3-16d. came down to 8,1 in July, aud iu Havre the same quality fell from 136f. to 94f. mJuly, 1871. * * . In 1873 we will have, as stated pre viously, a crop of at least 3,750,000 bales behind us, which it has been ad mitted on all sides might, with ordinary favorable weather, have reached 4,500,- 000 bales (ride Neill Brothers). Now this figure, say 4,500,000 bales, may easily lie attained for 1874, which, togeth er with the visible supply of 2,992,000 for the 30th of September this year, shows such an enormous supply and super abundance of the staple that certainly the equilibrium between production and consumption can only bo re-established by what are now considered extremely low prices. This law equilibnum will lie fatal to our actual stocks from now to the end of this and during the next vear. and a return to the prices prior to the civil war appears to be in evitable.

DeKlyne, Chief Deputy United States Marshal, who held warrants against us. , Had we attempted any resistance or any attack after tlio arrival of the Feder al troops, which had been sent as a pOsse carnitalus, the Deputy Marshal would have used them to capture those, or any of those, against whom warrants had been issSed; and, under the pretext of executing process, would have joined the police and compelled us to submit to the latter, or to fire in the direction . of the United States posse comitatus. Under these circumstances, exclusive ly, we suspended operations on Satur day last, and “not before, to the knowledge of Gen. Badger, liis officers and privates.' On Friday night our meu tired oil one of their pickets. I was sfiown, this morning, a report, dated St. Martinsville, May 10th, from General Badger to General Baldy, in which the former says that we occupied an almost inaccessible, swampy island until Wednesday, when he moved and attacked, driving us from our camp. • This report is as grossly incorrect as it is false. We were not on any swampy island, but on a plantation, a short dis tance from St. Martinsville. There General Badger attacked us, and did not drive us one step. On the contrary, as soon as lie left town, and appeared with liis forces, artillery and infantry, we met him and stood within range of liis rifles and gun, without firing a shot, and ready to charge as soon as he would have reached the point where our shot guns could have been used with effect. Iu order to bring General Badger on the chosen field, we did not place one single man on the road which led to it, and did not return fire. But two small detachments of our men appeared on the flank, and lie immediately fell back and returned to the Court House, aud we to our camp. On Friday night, as even the spies who entered our camp can certify to, while we were receiving reinforcements and messages offering reinforcements, the news came that the Federal troops had arrived ; and on Saturday morning I discharged, first the volunteers and afterwards a portion of my command ; and, with the, balance, returned to an other camp. We were not dispersed, and General Badger did not try to find me whilst I was surrounded with armed men. We separated, fully organized, and for one, onli/ one, reason ; We did not intend or wish to come in conflict with Federal authorities and Federal troops ; and, by so doing, assist those who had concocted a plan to place us in the alternative of supipitfing to the police or committing higl) treason agfliqat the United States.

A Man Who Ha 4 Committed Eight Murders, Lake City, Fla. , May 16. —Some weuka ago a man named Jim McDonnell was murdered at Mcllwen’s Ferry, on the Suwanee river, by a notorious outlaw and desperado known as Ed Lawson. Hearing of the murder of his brother, William started out as an avenger. Ac companied by a man named Peter Ha gans aud a ferocious dog, he made his w 7 ay to Mcllwen’s Ferry, near which the outlaw Lawson lived, and after some little reconnoitering came upon the ob ject of his search near the river. Law son, divining doubtless the object of the men, endeavored to escape to _ a neigh boring hammock. But McDonnell had provided against such a contingency, and the dog was slipped from his leash and set upon his human prey. There was a short, hopeless race—a desperate struggle—and the murderer Lawson was at the mercy of the murderer McDon nell. The fierce dog had set his fangs in tho man’s shoulder and held him firmly to the earth until the pursuers came up. There was but a slight display of eti quette when the two murderers met. McDonnell told Lawson that he had come to avenge the death of his brother, and allowed his prisoner fifteen minutes to prepare for his doom. The wretched culprit devoted the few moments of his life to a confession horrible in the ex treme. He not only admitted that he had murdered the brother of McDonnell for his money, but confessed that he had also murdered five other men aud two women for the purpose of obtaining their money, aud added that these mur ders had only netted him 825 all told. When Lawson was through with his confession McDonnell placed the muzzle of his gun to the murderer’s head and scattered his brains broadcast over the ground. It is stated that the Deputy Sheriff of this (Columbia) county, when he was pursuing McDonnell to arrest him for the murder of the negro near this place, followed him to the funeral of his brother and saw him there, but was afraid to arrest him. For the truth of this, however, your correspondent' will not vouch. It is certain that Mc- Donnell was pursued for several days, and it is furthermore certain that his pursuers returned empty-handed. It is probable that Governor Hart will offer another and a larger reward for the ar rest of this man McDonnell, for while there is no regret at the tragic murder of Lawson, the fact that the former is still at large should bi an incentive of re newed efforts on the part of the authori ties to bring him to justice. VICTORIOUS RUSSIA. A Short and Brilliant Campaign Khiva Taken and the Khan a Prison er —Turkey Must Yield Next. London', May 19.—A special dispatch to the D:. ily Telegraph, dated Fiflis, May 17th, says : “ The Russians have taken Khiva. The Khan is a prisoner. The Russian loss was slight." A telegram to the London Times, from St. Petersbnrg, states that the Russians reached the Khi van Territory without a serious encounter. There is talk in St. Petersburg now of the an nexation of Bojhara and Khokand, as well as Khiva.

Albany, May 19.—There is intense excitement in tlie vicinity, in conse quence of the discovery of a diabolical murder perpetrated on a German, by the name of Herman Hutcher, a scis sors grinder, who left this place about four weeks ago for Catskill, as he had been in the habit of doing. After lie had been absent an undue time search was made for him, and by the means of blood spots discovered in the house of a man named Joseph Waltz, at Athens, a clue to the deed was obtained. The old couple and their son, living where Hut cher stopped, were arrested, and after being held in custody for some time, the son, Joseph, confessed how the deed was done. He stated that when Hutclier liad retired lie stole up to tlie room aud struck him repeated blows with a hammer until he had killed liim. He then robbed him of thirty dollars and his watch; hid liis machine, wrap ped his body in the bed clothes, and seprptpd 4 behind a stone wall until the next night, when he buried it- He says lie had no aeoessm-ica. The old couple deny all knowledge of tlie horrible deed, and say that when they inquired the cause of the noise heard ou the night of the murder, Joseph said that Hutclier vomiting, and they were satisfied. SHACK NASTy JACK Tpucliiug Obituary Notipe of the }}e ceaseil. Again we are paU e d fipoU to perform the painful duty of ani)o»ncipgthe dpitfli of one who is not altogether lovply, was chief among a faction of a thousand spirits who are not yet made perfect. We refer to “Shack Nasty Jack,” the genial, whole souled or perhaps (con sidering liis mixedjparautage) we should say ualf-Spled copper colored gentlemen, who rcpeuriy died »<?soefully, and in pieces, in Ids little lava bed- dhGh ft hi not wrap that little drapery )>c had about him and lie down to pleasant dreams, and his demise was hastened by a seven inch shell, that entered and exploded ill his diapLgram, ruining a digestive apparatqa that had never been disturbed by banquets* of f'oas t ||og and salt horse, washed down by popiops draughts of fiery untamed benzine and needle-gun whisky. As we recall the virtues of the deceased, our pen uncon sciously drifts into tlie Philadelphia form of mourning,. »p;l we are led to ex claim ; Deatcgt Sbafik, thou Las left us. No more horsesthou wilt Hteai; Hut twas Gillem that bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal. First we thought it was old Sehonchin, Then ire heard it ’twas Scar-Faced Charles, But the latest new, Shack Nasty, Say’twas you who ln>e ijujt earth's snarles, Gone but not forgotten. Friends of the family invited to at tend- -covered carriages for all who wear gloves. Bom of poor but honorable parents, “ Jack ” manifested at an early age those traits that in after years made him famous, and would in time have sent him to Congress if his soul had not been shelled out of his ephemeral shell by a cast-iron namesake. He served his tribe as Tax Collector, President of a base ball club, and was about organizing a Young Red Men’s Horse Plagariziug As sociation, when he felt a sensation of goneness at the pit of his stomach, and was gone. Possessing many of the virtues that marked the Credit Mobilier operators, Shack Nasty was also as gen erous as the increased salary voters, who only drew their back salary to pay off the public debt, and the news of his sudden death will cause a thrill of an guish in many bosoms—anguish that he was not permetted to die slower, and by inches. MORE ABOUT THE MURDER. Arrest of the Man M ho Killed the Scis siors Grinder. Hudson, May 19.—. Joseph Waltz, iu his confession of having murdered Hut cher, the scissiors grinder, states that the deed was doue about 10 o’clock, p. m., on the Ist of May. He went to the room occupied by Butcher, whom he found asleep, and struck with a hatchet three times; the first time with the blunt part, and twice with the sharp edge. He only groaned, and all was over. Waltz then took the body to the stone wall, where traces of blood were found, anil covered it up. There he left it until the next night, when he took it down into the orchard and buried it. Officers took Waltz out, at his own re q ’est, to the place where the body was buried, a few inches below the surface. The bodv was found wrapped in a blanket, ‘the head horribly mangled. Waltz also confessed to having burned three school houses iu town, and buried the books, which have been found at the place he designated. When asked why he (.ommitted the murder, he replied, “J done it for mischief, and not for gain. The bad spirit was iu me, and I wanted to do something bad.” A FEARFUL FIRE.

There has been no new feature devel oped in’the cotton market the past week. For split cotton prices ruled dull and weak unfil Wednesday, when there was rather more export demand and steadier feeling, advices from Liverpool and Manchester being more favorable. But at the same time a revision of our quo tations was made, and ordinary was re dnced’gc., and good ordinary and strict good ordinary (c., the other grades re maining the same. Yesterday (Thurs day) the demand, was fair for ex port, ‘but for consumption was very limited, and quotations remained unaltered. To-day was quiet aud nomi nally unchanged. For future delivery the market has been variable. Satur day was strong, but Monday and Tues day considerable • depression aud dull ness were developed. Wednesday there was au average advance of }c-. but with a small business doing. Yesterday the market was firmer by l-32@1-16c., but without activity or decided strength. To-day the ieeling was weaker, with a decline of 1-16 ©tc. The prices for fu tures last reported were (basis low mid dling) 181 c. for May, 18 9-16 e. for June, 18 21-32 c. for July, 18|c. for August, and 17 3-16 c. for December. The total sales of this description for the week are 72,300 bales, including free on kboard. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week 6,899 bales, including 3,943 for export, 2,703 for consumption, 253 for speculation, and in transit. Weather Reports by Telegraph.— There lias been a continuation of tlie rainy weather in the cotton States dur ing the past week, the most of our telegrams reporting rain on three days, and some of them that they are having too much rain, though but little dam age is indicated thus far. Our New Orleans telegram lias failed to reach us. Our telegrams from Mobile and Mont gomery report rain on three days tlie early part of the week, the latter } art of the week being pleasant. At Selma it lias rained on two days; both the Selma and Montgomery dispatch state that they are having too much rain. It has rained on three days at Macon and two days at Columbus; our corres pondents at the latter point claim ing that damage lias been doue. At Augusta it lias rained on three days; accounts from the interior, as to the progress being made, are conflicting. At Charleston they have had two rainy days, with cold nights and warm days through the week. There have been three days of raiu at Memphis, anil the rest of tlie week was pleasant ; on Tues day there was a heavy storm ; tlie stand of cotton is moderately good, though the accounts are conflicting as to its condition. At Nashville it has rained ou one day ; the weather is too cold for the satisfactory development of the plant. The thermometer at Memphis lias averaged 65, Savannah, 70; Mobile, 74; Macon and Columbus, 75; Mont gomery, 76. Bombay Shipments. —According to our cable dispatch received to-day, there have been 30,000 bales shipped from Bombay to Great Britain tlie past week and 8,000 bales to the Continent, while the receipts at Bombay, during the same time, have been 54,000 bales. From the foregoing it would appear that compared with last year there is an increase this year in tlie week’s ship ments from Bombay to all of Europe of 8,000 bales, and that the total move ment since January 1 shows a decrease iu shipments of 57,000 bales compared with the corresponding period of 1872. Gunny Bags, Bagging, &c.—The bagging market lias been quiet and steady the past week, at 13@13)c-» cash, for immediate, and 14j@15c. for Sum mer months. We hear of no very large lots cliaijging hands, trade for tho past few days being confined tq filling of small orders from the South. Sales for past week : New York and Boston about 1,500 to 2,000 rolls, at 13c. cash. There are numerous inquiries in the market, and the position of bagging is such that a few sales would materially advance the market. India bales are dull and neglected. Bags remain in stafu quo/. No sales haye transpired. We quote 15c. soy heavies. Butts have ruled dull and weak.

TliK TUPRER CASE. The Prisoner Sentenced to tfie Peni tentiary. OoLpMBJA, May 20. —The Court of Gen eral Sessions was opened this morning at 10 o’clock, and as it w»s generally known that a decision would be render ed in answer to tlie motion for anew trial in the case of Captain George Tup per, recently convicted of manslaughter, there was much excitement, not only in and around the Court House building, but throughout the entire city. Judge Carpenter announced that the motion for anew trial is refused, and Captain Tupper has been sentenced to live years at hard labor in the penitentiary. The prisoner's GimnseJ seemed much sur prised at the result, but were prompt in the emergency, and at once gave notice of appeal. The decision has caused much excitement here, and in all qnar teis may be seen knots of persons dis cussing the affair in all its aspects. COTTON FUTURES. What Judire Woods Decided -- Tlie Case m Statu <iuo. Montgomery, May 20. —The Adver tiser to-day contains the following : We are informed by Gounsel engaged in the above cause that the telegrams received up to the hour of our going to press, indicate that the learned Jndge gave no opinion whatever on the main question m the cause—namely, the va lidity of the contracts known in the vo cabulary of the Cotton Exchange as “futures.” It is the opinion of such counsel that only two questions were de cided : first, that by failing, for four teen days, to pay the bill, which he was advised by his counsel he could success fully defend, Mr. Strassburgher com mitted no act of bankruptcy ; second, that inasmuch as the question of Mr. Strassbnrgher’s bankruptcy was tried before a jury, tlite proper mode of revers ing the ruling of the Disirict Court is by writ of error, and not by petition for review. The questions before Judge Woods, we learn, were presented on petition for review ; and, if the above construction of the decision be correct, the Circuit Court could do no less than dismiss the petition. We are also informed that the petition of Messrs. Lehman, Durr k Co.,tobaveMr. Strassburgher declared a bankrupt, set forth two other alleged acts of bankruptcy; upon neither of which did Judge Woods pronounce. If this be so, the validity of contracts for the purchase or sale of ‘' futures” must stand a disputed question until the next term of the U. S. Circuit Court, to sit in December next, when this same case will be before the Court on writ of error, which we are informed has been heretofore allowed by Judge Woods. London, Mev 21.—The French cable, broken 208 miles from Brest, has been repaired. ' European Opinions of the GreS South* erner. •, _ 5 r ' —“— Try Tlic following is taken from a recent article on Lee in the Edinburgh tla view, and is inscriptive of an interview between General Lee and Stoiewall Jackson during the battle of Chicka hominy : “ A few minuted more and the gallant soldier himself appear ed on the scene and rode up to greet Lee, .feheered* by Longstreet’s men, al ready veterans enough in war to under stand what his coming meant. Noth ing, it has been said, of this first meet ing of these great soldiers on the battle field could be.in more striking contrast than the appearance and manner of the two. Handsome in face and' figure, finely Rounted, a graceful rider, calm visaged, and cares ally dressed, Lee pre sented the bean ideal of the commander whose outward bearing captivates the soldier’s tye. His ; famous lieutenant rode, apparently by choice, an ill groomed, rfhvboued .b,orse, and set so short-stirrnped as to give his figure the most awkward ‘appearance. An old cadet’s cap, evidently a relic of the col lege profe3Borshiuhe had not long since left, was drawn down over his eyes. His coat was not only threald-bare, but ill-brushed ; and his words were jerked out in sentences, between which he sueked the/lomon which W|p, as usual, his sole during his day’.s worS. Yet each already un derstood the other, ams valued him at his true worth. ‘ That is a heavy fire down yonder,’ said Lee, as the Federal guns opened m reply tdV Jackson’S. ‘ Can your men stand it r ‘ They can stand almost anything. 'They can stand ithat,’ was the emphatic reply ; and after a few words of order and explanation, he left his chief to lead on the attack. This was decisive, aided as it was by a fresh advance of the troops before en gaged. The Federals were turned, over matched, and driven from their posi tion, and before dark the shattered re mains of I’orter’s force were crossing the Chickahominv in hasty retreat. battle, in fact, was as striking a success and as well-earned, as any of tJ-'iCmore fa mous victories in after dayvwhich have been so widely stiulieiL'hnd so often ex tolled. No worl li£ofeeforwarJ from his Government of ’any want of confidence in his powers, or fear of his overcaution. From that hour he became the most trusted, as well as the most noted Gen eral of the Confederacy. As to his sol diery, his hardy bearing, free self-ex posure, and constant presence near their ranks, completed the influence gained by that power of combining their force to advantage, which they instinctively felt without fully understanding. From man to man flew the story of the, hour. The subtle influence of sympathy, which wins many hearts for one, was never more rapidly exercised. Like Napoleon, his troops soon learned to believe him equal to every emergency that war could bring. Like Hannibal, he could speak lightly and calmly at tin 1 gravest mo ments, being then himself least grave. Like Raglan, he preserved a sweetness of temper that no person or circumstance could ruffle. Like Caesar, he mixed with the crowd of soldierly freely, and never feared that his position would be for gotten. Like Blucher, his one recog nized fault was that which the soldier readily forgives—a readiness to expose his life beyond the proper limits per mitted by modern war to the comman der-in-chief. What wonder, then, if he thenceforward commanded an army in which each man would have died for him; an army from which his parting wrung tears more bitter than any the fall of their cause could extort; an army which followed him, after three years of glorious vicissitudes, into private life without one thought of further resis tance against the fate to which their adored chief yielded without a murmur.” The London Standard, in the course of an article upon this critique, pays the following truthful and eloquent tribute to the great captain. It says : “He had lost fortune and home in the war, by pillage and wanton destruction ; he was proscribed ; he declined to draw vengeance on his State by taking open part in her politics, the commander-in chief of a national army condescended to the control of a military school, and to a life of silence and obscurity. But all Southern eyes were fixed on him, and his influence was used to keep them calm and and patient, and to retach them to the Union which had conquered and was crushing them. Even while their wrongs and miseries were wearing out his life he checked every utterance of resentment, every expression of hope for a future deliverance. “We are all Americans now.” He would allow no toasts to the Lost Cause, no honors to the fallen banner. He bore his burden with simple, unaffected, patient heroism. Other men may have approached him in war and achievement ; none capable of deeds like his ever rivalled him in endurance and sub mission under hopeless defeat, A Cato would have fallen on his sword; a Brutus might have conspired; Hanni bal endured only in the hope of revenge anil retrieval. But General Lee not only endured, but submitted, and that without suffering his country to enter tain even the wish to renew the strug gle. He had to endure for some weary years, and then the release. The over wrought nerves suddenly gave way; lie sank at once from perfeot self-possession and apparent health into collapso and speechlessness, and died as literally “of a broken heart” as ever despairing patriot or defeated soldier—more truly far than most “broken hearted” victims of private grief. So he passed away from the country he could neither save by his sword nor restore to happiness by his counsels, but which he had crowned with glory in war, and rescued in defeat from useless struggles and deeper misery, lie has left behind him no rival of her love, qq object of equal pride reverence. Nor is his fame confined to the South. Wherever the English tongue is spoken his name is revered and honored—a name to which history furnishes few equal in military renown, none in moral grandeur; the name of one who realized in actual life the dreams of ideal chivalry—§o, great in victory none ever surpassed, so much greater in defeat that none ever approached him; the patriot without a thought of self, thri hero without a shade of affection or display; the man who would neither despair of his coun try nor conspire against her conquerors; idpfjj soldier ftpd perfect_ citizen 1 a Cnristqjq tyitUuui pretensions and a gen tleupin without flaw.

A DISORDERED LIVER is the tkiurce of a large majoritv of the ills with which the human family is afflicted. There is up organ of the body, the normal functions of which are so essential to health. Upon its healthful action depends the proper assimilation of the food and drink whiph supports and nourishes the body. It is therefore evident that a de rangement of ifs functions must entail disas trous results upon the entire system. A BILIOUS STOMACH. The bile is the natural cathartic of the bowels into which it passes just below the stomach, being conducted there by its produc ing organ—the liver— by a pipe called a duet. Nu bile properly belongs to the stomadu- Vsrt if if is excessive in quantity, or viscid jjr thick in quality, or if the bowels are oh.-pruetod or costive, then it Hows back into s*ie stomach, causing nausea, retching amp vomiting of yellowish, green, or even K»aek bilious matter. This is commonly yaWed “bilious stomach,” “bile cUlie stounfch,” or a “bilious attack." Sonnflßi (Trc? condition is comparatively mild \Wfft Jong duration; or it comes and goesadreording to varying circumstances of diet Sr health. In such cases there may be oqity a headache and sickness at the stomach, natli an expectoration of bitter phlegm, but usually, also, the whites of the eyes become yellowish, and tho complexion loses its flesh, healthy color. Many persons live for weeks or month's in this condition, and at length Dys pepsia. with all its train of distressing con comitants, iH fully developed. Hick Headache, Flatulence, variable appetite, dullness and drowsiness, dizziness, bitter taste in tho mouth, dryness of tho throat and internal lieat, pal pitation of the heart; sour stomach, with a raising of the food; a bloated or full teeling about the stomach, which is often attended with pain and tenderness; colie pains ; consti pation of tlic bowels, alternating with attacks of Diarrhieo ; I’ilcH, liervousnesss, coldness of the extremities; dullness, alternating with hot flashes, low spirits and gloomy forebodings. T his frightful catalogue of diseases invariably follow a deranged state of tho liver, audit be hooves every one who would enjoy life to adopt prompt measures for its restoration to healthy action. For this purpose Mercury, in tire form of Calomel or Blue Till, is tho medicine usually resorted to. i bis powerful drug, though for the time lielpiug the liver, does no lasting good, has to lie resorted to more and more frequently, aud proves in the end more ilan gerous to the system than the disorders it is intended to subdue To obviate this difficulty, physicians have for* a long time sought for a medicine that would act specifically on the liver, restoring its nor mal functions, and at the same time be exempt from the dangerous effects of mercury. Their research has at last been rewarded by the dis covery of vegotaldo substances which. when properly combined, exert a must powerful heal ing influence upon that organ. It is justly styled tho most important triumph that PLiar macy has ever achieved. Those substances are contained in a conoenti atod form in Dr. Tutt's Vegetable Liver Tills, Which cansos them to act with wonderful cer tainty and rapidity in relieving and curing the diseased liver and those distressing maladieH which attend it. While they aro active and searching, they are mild ami gentle in their action, and can be taken by the most delicate person. They produco neither nausea, griping or debility, nor require change of diet or occu pation.

For the relief and MB" J cure of all derange ments in the stone ach, liver, andhovv<- els. They arcs iqild BX ‘ aperient, and an excellent purgative.

Much yS*- serious sliiknoas and —J suffering is prevent- ■* ed by their tirhely use; and every family should have them on hand Sir their protection and relief, when required. Long experience has proved them to be the saf est, surest, and best of all the fills with which the market abounds. By their occasional ute, the blood is purified, the corruptions of the sys tem expelled, obstructions removed, and the whole machinery of life restored to its healthy activity. Internal organs which become clogged and sluggish aro cleansed by Ayer’s Pills, and, stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease is changed into health, the value of which change, when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy it, can hardly bo computed. Their sugar eoatuig makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their virtues unimpaired for any length of time, so that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable. Although searching, they are mild, and operate without disturbance to tho constitution, oruiet, or occupation. Full directions arc given on the wrapper to cacti box, how to use them as a Family physic, and for the following complaints, which these. Pills rapidly cure:— For n.r.pe|iaia or Indigrallnn. Uatlcu ■less. Languor and Low of Apnrtltr, ttiey should be taken moderately to stimulate tin- stom ach, and restore its healthy tone and action. For iilvor Complaint and its various symp toms, Bilious Ucaduchc, Dick Urua* ache. .Tullll.lice or fdreen klckncw. Bil ious Colic ami Bilious fevers, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which cause it. For B.vseuter.v or Diarrhoea,' but ono mild dose is generally required. For Bheumatisiii. (-out, Gravel, l*ul- I.itatiou of the Heart, Pain in the Niile. Bach and I.olus. they should he contin uously taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change those complaints disappear. For Dropsy and Dropsical dwellings, they should be taken in large and frequent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For Nuppression, a large dose 1 hould ho taken, as it produces the desired effect by sym pathy. As a Vinner Pill, take one or two Pills to promote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often advantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus, PREPARED BY Dr. ,T. C.

No ono remedy is louder called for by the ueceHsiticH ot g the American people than a. sure and safe cure for I Vrcr nil J and Ague. Such we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect Jf certainty that it will eradicate ~ the disease, and with assur ance, founded on proof, that no htinn cun urine from its use in any quantity. That which protects from or prevents this dis order must lie of immense service in the com munities where it prevails. Prevention is better, than cure, for the iinUont escapes the risk whic.ii he must run in violent attacks of this baleful djn temper. This 44 CURB* expels the miasmatic poison of Fry Kit and Auijk from the system., and prevents the development of the disease, if taken on tho Urst approach of its premonitory symptoms. It Is not only the best reivtedy over yet discovered for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large qunutlty we sup ply for a dollar brings it within Hie reach of everybody; and in bilious districts, where Kiev Kit AND A (lit is prevails* everybody should have it, and use it freely, both for cure mid pro lection. It is honed this price will place it within tho reach of all —the poor ns well as the rich. A great superiority ot this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and certain cure of interiuitteuts is, that it contain* no (jui nine or mineral; consequently it produc.es no (itiiuism or other injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it are lull as healthy as if they had never had the disease.

It is a in valuable protection to immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in tho mala rious districts.

Hence it is even more valuable for protection than cure: and few will ever suffer px.in inter mittent* if they avail themselves of the protec tion this remedy afford*.
