Our town for the past week has been
very quiet commercially; but politically rath
er lively. On Tuesday the election was a
subject of much concern to some, who were
very busy wondering which candidate would
be the favorite, and whether or not conven
tion or no conveniion would carry the day,
which facts they learned on Wednesday even
ing when the polls were closed, after two
days balloting. During the election, every
thing was much more orderly than could have
been expected, auy where else than in our
own quiet well-behaved Des Arc. Indeed, we
heard one gentleman, a stranger, remark that
we had the most orderly town he had ever
seen; that it was the first time lie ever saw a
two days election held without disorderly
manifestations of some kind. Of course the
negroes being allowed for the first time the
privileges of freemen; many things happened
which were rather laughable; but it must be
said they wore their honors easily. The re
sult of the election which will be found else
where in our columns disappointed some,
while it pleased others, and for the past, two
days has been the general theme of conversa
tion on the streets. Besides this election,
* nothing unusual has occurred; business con
tinues rather dull, owing principally to the
low prices of cotton; which fact makes many
shake their heads as they look forward to the

the amendment in Ohio was lost:
‘There is one feature in the defeat of this
amendment which deserves considers
, tion. We have been very much deceived
in that voice,as we thought the amend
ment would fall through indirec
tion—that is, the failure to vote either
way would defeat it. Rut the result
shows “ that the noes have it bv tlie

Tonic Syrup!
A rapid and never failing cur* for
Fever & Ague, or Chills St Fever.
Every poison has its antidote—Every
disease has its cure.
It is a known fact that the powerful miner
al medicines so often administered in copious
doses in Intermittent and Billious Remittent
Fevers are as perilons to the constitution as
the fevers theniselTos, while their operation
is generally slow and upcertain, and their ef
fects evanecsent. Remedies of this olass,
haiardious uuder any circumstances, cannot
be used with any approach to safety except
under the directions of a physician ; and in
the regions where Fever and Ague, Billious
Fever, Chill and Fever, Dumb Ague and their
kindred complaints chiefly prevail, medical
men are sometimes few and far between, and
medieal advice almost unobtainable. It is
obvious, therefore, that a medicine tike the
Texas Tonic .Syrup, prompt ond cer
tain in its action as a curative, and equally
to be relied on as a preventive, of these dan
gerous maladies—a preparation as harmless
to the constitution ss water—must be of price
less value in the valley of the Mississippi, or
wherever etBe they may exist.
Tbe common cause of all remittent and
intermittent fevers is the mephitic vapor or
miasma evaporated by heat from the sell, or
from the surface of stagnant water: and it is
usually when the torrid warmth of summer
has prostrated the system and rendered it
incapable of contending energetically with
tbe disease that the attack comes on. July.
August, September and October are the
months during with all billious complaints
are most common, and most violent. The
organs immediately anecieu oy rever anu
Ague, and Intermittents and Remittents, are
the Liver, the Spleen, the Stomach and Kid
neys. Upon each and nil of these organs, the
Texas Tonic Syrup acts specifically, regula
ting and controlling the flow of bile, preven
ting or relieving that enlargment of the spleen
known as the Ague Cake, strengthening the
digestive powers and removing those severe
paius of the back which arise from the tor
pidity or inflamation of the Kidneys. As its
name indicates, it gives a healthy tone to the
Viscere, which perform the secretion, circula
tion, and excrciion. Instead of inflicting a
shock upon the internal, as mineral medicines
necessarily do, it invigorates and assists
nature and seconds with wonderful efforts
which she makes to throw off the disease It
is not a mere palliative that checks or modi
fies the symptoms for a brief period but a
radical remedy that reaches and removes the !
cause of the disorder.
Of these facts the inventors of the Texas
Tonic Syrup have had innumerable proofs
and they are prepared to establish them by
tho highest testimony; Medical men of
acknowledged eminence prescribe it iu their
private practice, and it is rapidly superceding
all other preparations of its class throughout
the west Southwest and South. No family
residing in any section subject to the visita
tions of Ague and Fever, or any billious com
plaint, should be without it, if they desire to
escape the penalties of protracted sickness
md its concomitant dangers, agouies and
Bxpenscs.
It is not alone for its curative properties
that the Touic Syrup is to be prized. As a
preventive it is invaluable. The virus of
disease often lies hidden in tho system for I
months, and even years, weakening the vital
forces, and slowly, yet surely sapping the
foundations of heulth and life.
The symptoms of this process appear in
Bftllow skin, the dull eye, the growing feeble- *
ness of the unconscious victim As soon as !
these or any other foreshadowiugs of sickness
are observed, such as pains in tlie small of
the back, in the left side, or between the
shoulders, the Tonic Syrup should be given :
and it is guaranteed that a course of this
remedy will, iu All cases, remove every germ
of billious disease from the system, restore
the natural color to the complexion, remove
nil local pain, and renew the bodily vigor of
the individual It is especially recommended
to the unacclimatcd settler, as a sure safe- .
guard against Ague and Fever.

Gentlemen: Having
long suffered from chills and fever, and after

induced to take a bottle of your Texas Tonic

This ia to state that I was afflicted with Fe
ver and Ague of the most inveterate charac
ter for about two years. I tried many rerae
dies, (deluding large quantities of quinine,
etc., without avail. I was finally induced to
try the Texas Tonic Syrup—the result was
that after taking the first dose, I had “chills
no more,” and am now rapidly recovering iny
health and strength. I have sent two dozeu
of this valuable ague cure to my plantation at

worked to a charm. 1 have had but one chill

I was in Louisville purchasing drugs, ami I
got some of your Sarsaparilla ami Cedron

My son-in-law who was with me in the

soon found his general health improved.
Dr. Gist, who has been in bad health, fried
them, and he also improved
Dr. Coffee, who has been in bad health for

BULL’S
WORM DESTROYER.
To my United Slates and World
wide Headers.
I have received many testimonials from
professional and medical men. ns my alma
nacs and various publications have shown,
all of which are genuine. The following let
ter from a highly educated and popular phy
sician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most
sensible communications l have over received.
Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speaks
of, and his testimony deserves to be written
in letters of gold. Hear what the Doctor
says of BULL’S WORM DESTROYER:
Villxnow, Walker County, Ga., )
ly given your “Worm Destroyer” several
trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It
has not failed in a tingle instance to have the
wisbed-for effect. I am doing a pretty large
country practice, and have daily ime for some
article of the kind. I am free to confess that
I know of no remedy recommended by the
ablest authors that is so certain and speedy
in its effects. On the contrary they are un
certain in the extreme. M\ object in writ
ing you is to find upon what terms 1 can get
the medicine directly from you. If I can get
it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of
it. I am aware that the use of such articles
is contrary to the teachings and practice of a
great majority of the regular line of M. D's,
hut I see no just cause *or good sense in dis
carding a remedy which we know to be effi
cient, simply because we may be ign irant of
its combination. For my part, l shall make
it a rule to use all an d any means to alleviate
suffering humanity which I may bn able to
command—not hesitating because some one
nere ingenious tbau myself may have learned
,ts effects first, and secured the aide right to
iecure that knowledge. However, I aui by
10 means an advocate or supporter of the
housands of worthless nostrums that, flood

)f disease to which human flesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform me of your

At thirteen years of age he had a chronic di
arrhea and scrofula, for which I gave him
your Sarsaparilla. It Cubki> Him. I have
for ten years recommended it to many in
New York, Ohio, and Iowa, for scrofula, fe
ver sores, and general debility. Perfect suc
cess has attended it. The cures effected in
tome cases of scrofula and fever sores were almost
miraculous. I am very anxious for my son

CHILLS & FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
jnstly claims for it a superiority over all
remedies ever offered to the public for the
tafs, certain, speedy, and permanent euro of
Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether
of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and South-western country
lo bear him testimony to the truth of the as
sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail
to cure, if the directions are strictly followed
and carried nut. In a great many cases a
single dose has been *uffioient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single
bottle, With a perfect restoration of the gen
eral health. U is, however, prudent, and in
every case more certain to cure, if Its use is
continued in smaller doses for a week or two
after the disease has been checked, more es
pecially in difficult aud long-standing cases.
Usually, this medicine will not require any
aid to keep the bowels iu good order; should
the patient, however, require a cathartic
medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of the Tonio. a single do*# of BULL’S
VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will bo suffi

LIBERAL ADVANCES—Supplies

To the Cotton Planters or West
Tennessee, Alabama, Missis
sippi and Arkansas:
The undersigned respectfully tenders bis
services as agent for the sale of your cotton
in this city, and for the purchase of your sup
plies. The unfortunate termination of tLo
late war, which so materially affected the be t
interests of the .South, has also had its effect
upon the Commission Business of this city,
as transacted between planter and merchant.
You doubtless well remember with what per
tinacity (previous to the war), amounting in
some instances to annoyance, you were soli
cited for your business at the rate of fifty
cents per bale commission, free of drayage,
and stored for twelve months without charge.
Then (ns will tte again) the producer was the
ruling element, and high rents, rich landlords
and merchants were the result of planters*
patronage. No people or occupation have
been more seriously prostrated than planters
and planting, And none so much deserve to
i be fostered and aided in their unfortunate
I changed condition. How that aid so much
needed has been meted out you I opine too
well know. Onerous government taxes in
general, and a special tax upon your leading
production, Cotton, large profits you have had
to pay upon supplies furnished, commissions
on sales ranging from $3 50 to $5 per bale,
monthly storage at exorbitant prices and
other expenses, os per reference to your ac
count sales, as a sum total will leave you but
little if anything upon which to rebuild your
shattered fortunes, or to compete with the
new order of affairs—free labor. When I
withdrew from the Cotton and Commission
Business in IRfiO. private reasons then led me
to believe that I would never engage in it
again. The solicitations of many friends that
were former patrons, and a desire to promote
the interest of the planting community, so
far as my feeble efforts can do so. and the
apparent want of gratitude exhibited to a
community that in times past tended so ma
terially to the prosperity of Memphis and its
mercantile community, has determined mo
again to offer my services in the capacity as
stated. The reduced stock of cottons in the
United States and short sudplies in the hands
of New England manufacturers has caused
some advance in prices from the late depres
sion, bence early sales may be prudent and
remunerative; such was the case the past two
bcmuuj. iiiiu iiwinv piniiivrs uave uau cause
regret the acting upon the too common prac
tice of holding and drawing upon their cot
tous. I would advise no planter to send for
ward his cotton unless ho wished it sold upon
the first, active market. It can be held at
home much cheaper than in Memphis. My
charges for selling ootton will be One Dollar
per bale. Iusurances effected in all cases if
not instructed to the contrary. Shall buy
your supplies from wholesale houses, giving
you the benefit of same. In short, by strict
attention to all the departments of our busi
ness, I hope to merit a large share of patron
age. Very respectfully,
■Kpt21. K. A. MOON
