Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters.
rpHEsK MEDICINES have been before
the Public for a period of
THIRTY YEARS,
and during that time have maintained a high
character in almost every part of the
Globe, for their extraordinary and
immediate power of restoring
perfect health to persons

every kind of dis
ease to which
the human
frame is
liable.
The following are among the distressing va
riety of human diseases in which the
Vegetable life Medicines
Are well known to be infallible.

GOUT
in half that time, by removing local inflama
tion from the muscles and liga
ments of the joints.
DROPSIES
of nil kinds, by freeing and strengthening
the kidneys and bladder; they operate
most delightfully on these important
organs, and hence have ever been
found a certain remedy for
the worst cases of
GRAVEL.
Also,
WORMS.

the slimy matter to which these
creatures adhere.
SCURVY, ULCERS,

by the perfect purity which these
Life Medicines
give to the blood, and all the humors.
SCOKRU OC ERUPTIONS

by their alterative effect upon the fluids that
feeii the skin, and the morbid state of

will effect an en

SALT RHEUM,
and a striking improvement in the clearness
of the skin.
COMMON COL25S
— AND
INFLUENZA
will alw'ays be cured in one dose, or by two
in the worst cases.

Abolition Achievements.
The achievements of mercenariesof Ab
olition hate no parallel in the history of
the earth. Here is a number.
1. Major Anderson ran off from Fort
Moultrie m the night, after destroying all
the properly be could.
2- Lieut. Slemmer ran away from Pen
sacola in the night, after he had injured
as much property as possible.
3. Commodore Pendergrast fair away
from Norfolk, after sinking several fine
ships, spiking some scores of guns, and fi
rinp the Navy Yard.
4. The commander of the Abolition
force at Harper’s Ferry, bearing the ap
proach of the Virginians, ran away as fast
as possible, first selling fire to the Govern
ment work-shops.
5. The other day in St. Louis the myr
midons of Lincoln fired on an unarmed
crowd of citizens—killing thirty-eight,
among whom were several little girls and
boys.
From these facts it is clear that the
achievements of Lincoln’s abolition hordes
are altogether unparalleled. Four times
they ran away, after destroying or attemp
ting to destroy some valuable property;
and in the fifth instance with a heroism
that was sublime in its doubtlessness, they
fixed their Minnie rifles into a helpless
crowd, and succeeded in slaughtering men,
women, children and babies, to the num
ber of thirty-eight!
And the coward leader of these cowards
and murderers threaten us with subjuga
tion! Pallid with frisrlit. fleeing from the
approach of armed men, and hands red
with the biood of helpless women and
children! these are the abolition braves.—
But time will work out a just compensa
tion; and when our boys have an opportu
nity to measure steel with the Abolition
enemy, the massacre at St. Louis wifi bo
amply atoned for.

A Spirited Bet.
To Ike Editor of ike JVew York Herald:
Union, S. C., May 9, 1861.
I will bet you tiOO bales of good cotton
against $10,000 or its equivalent, that the
South will succeed in establishing her in
dependence. I will bet you $5,000 in
gold that the government of the Confeder
ate States is recognized by England and
France in less than six months from dale.
I wiil bet you $1,000 on the.result of each
battle fought between the North and
South where the forces engaged are more
than 600 on each side, without reference
to the relative strength. I will bet you
my plantation and 100 negroes, that Wash
ington city will be in the hands of the
Confederate States in less than ninety
days after the commencement of headli
nes. Communications confidential. Ad
dress box 101 Uniomille, South Carolina.
Remarks.—We publish the above just
as we received it, but we take care to re
ply that we never make a bet, nor do we
believe in deciding any question, political
or military, by a wager. Political ques
tions are generally settled by the wisest
statesmanship and the will of the people.
Bailies are usually decided by the best
troops and the best generals, and to such
umpires we leave them, firmly believing,
however, that in the end the right will al
ways triumph.—[Herald.

Personal Appearance of the Secession
Leaders
The Wilmington Journal thus describes
General Beauregard and Jefferson Davis.
Gen. Beauregard hns not a single An
glo-Saxon feature- The whole tone of
his countenance and attitude would lead
one to expect him to speak in some of the
languages of continental Europe. It is a
French face, but of the style ofCavaignac
or Lamoricere. It is of the solid type of
Frenchmen,
Mr. Davis looks young for his age,
which is well over fifty. He might be a
preacher, for any fire-catiug expression
about him. But for the square and
straighlly opened eyes and habitually clos
ed mouth, firm as iron, no one would sus
pect Mr. Davis of being the civil and mil
itary leader of a great national movement.
---
In Virginia, Gen. Butler consid
ers negroes contraband, and when they
seek refuge in his camp he puts them to
work in the entrenchments. In Illinois,
Col. Prentiss makes the same use of
Southern white men. He has a number
of the Camp Jackson, Mo., soldiers,
whom be captured - whilst they were on
their way South, and requires them to
work on the levees at Cairo, and they are
besides, treated to all sorts of indignities.
A day of retribution will soon overtake
the Illinois leader.
----
End or the World.-r-An exchange
says that the “Second Adventists of this
country seem to be falling into the wake
of the Rev. Dr. Camming, of London, and
adopting his opinion that the year 1SG7
will see the winding up of the things of
time.” Dr. C.,did not originate this, idea,
nor does he, we believe, lay claim to its
originality. We have sepn the same
opinion expressed in a work publish by
Dr. Brown, a distinguished theologian,
about the year 17S0,
