SELF-RELIANCE.
There is nothing go essential to the
welfare and prosperity of an individual
to a community, or to a nation, as self
reliance, with it an individual or a peo
, pie can and will succeed; without it
! nothing great or worthy is cverachiev
! ed. The want of self-reliance will al
ways make a man or a community de
pendent ; so the first step towards inde
pendence is self-reliance : Hence we see
in the history of the world that mostot
the truly great men that have immor
tal lied themselves as benefactors ot
their race have been born poor, and by
dint of their individual efforts and ex
ertions have attained eminence and dis
tinction in their day and country. It
is un egregious error that man is born
heir to greatness. It may sometimes
be the case that man is born heir to po
sition, power and distinction, but never
to true greatness, which is always the
result of exertion and perseverance,
and what in this respect, is true of an
individual, is equally true of a nation.
Heuco the failure, in part at least, of
the Southern people to attain that in
dependence to which they are so emi
nently entitled; for it may be safely
j assumed that there is not a people of
\ any clime or country more noble and
deserving than the people of the South
ern States of the North America Union ;
jthe essential characteristics of a high
toned, chivalrlc and magnanimous spir
I it they have always maintained and cx
; ldbitcd. But there is one leading and
essential error into which they have
suffered themselves to drift for three
fourths of a century—it is the delusion
| that cotton is King, and that their
| wealth and financial prosperity depend
ed upon the amount of cotton that they
could produce, in fact it became the
shrine nt which wre as a people wor
shipped, and in our eagerness to grow
and produce cotton, we lost sight of
everything else—wo were trained to
regard cotton from our earliest boy
hood, as our Shiboleth, a kind of “sine
quanon,” and all our efforts and re
sources were directed to cotton—meat
anil bread were lost sight of; the me
chanic arts were ignored, schools and
education were neglected, religion was
slighted, in fact cotton, like the rod of
Moses, swallowed up and devoured
everything else, until it lias well nigh
devoured us as a people. Yet strange
to say, that we, like Ephraim of old,
are still joined to our idol eotton ; for
many madly insist that we cannot live
unless we raise cotton. But look at the
facts, we spend all our time, labor aud
resources iu producing cotton, and
when it is produced, our Northern
friends fix the price upon it, and we
send it to them, then they turn about
and fix the price upon our meat, flour,
meal, domestics, shoes, iron and in fact,
every thing we consume, for we pro
duce nothing for market but cotton,
and yet we have no power to regulate
its price. But is it asked what the
Southern people are to do in order to
become independent. In the first place,
let us become self-reliant, by becoming
self-sustaining. Let us cease to expend
all our means and labor In producing
cotton, and in its stead plant corn, sow
grain, grass, cultivate all the varieties
j of vegetables that grow and flourish so
readily in the fertile soils of the South;
1 raise stock, such as horses, mules, cows,
; hogs, sheep, goats, &c; or in other
words, make at home our meat and
bread—and this done, let us turn our
attention to the building up of manu
factures, machine shops, and sustain
our own mechanics and artists in every
! department of handicraft: the wagon
maker, coach maker, saddler, harness
maker, shoe and boot maker, tinner,
and every other useful artist and me
chanic. Till this is done, it is simply
nonsense to he for ever talking of our
independence, or of our ability to man
: age the affairs of our own peculiar sec
I tion of country. Again lot ns patron
j i/.e our own home newspapers, and en
( courage those that are laboring to build
| up and establish something in the way
1 of Southern Literature, aud not bo so
! prompt to get up clubs and send money
| away to support and build up imws
! papers and magazines in distant Xorth
| ern cities. Let us educate and prepare
I our own scnooi icacuors ana ministers.
; These are some of the things that we
must do. Look at the facts that de
mand a eliange in our policy. (So into
1 any private house and look around you ;
i the carpets, the chairs, the furniture,
everything, made and brought on from
j that section against which we are al
i ways railing; and it does seem strange
| that we as a people do not bestir our
j selves and change our system of oper
ations, especially since the system of
! labor has been so thoroughly changed
by the results of the recent war. We
(oiiu he an independent people if we
will—we have all the natural advan
j (ages and resources that any people
[could wish, it only remains for us to
! resolve, and theu act in the proper di
rection ; let us resolve to be self-rcli
1 ant, and then we will become a great,
free and independent people; self-pro
ducing and self-sustaining, by living
within the limits of our own produc
tions. This is a subject matter in which
! we are all immediately interested, and
[ every patriot and lover of his country
■ desires to realize. Theu let us keep
this subject before the people, that they
may see, feel und act as becomes a great
people. X.

Tonic Syrup!
A rapid and never failing cure for
Fever A Ague, or Clillls & 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 perilous to the constitution as
the fevers themselves, while their operation
is generally slow and upccrtain, and their ef
fects evanecsent. Remedies of this class,
hazardious under 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, Billions
Fever, Ohilland Fever, Dumb Ague and their
kindred complaints chiefly prevail, medical
men are sometimes few and far between, and
medical advice almost unobtainable. It is
obvious, therefore, that a medicine like 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 as water—must be of price
less value in the valley of the Mississippi, or
wherever else they may exist.
The 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
the disease that tho attack conus on. July,
August, September and October are the
_.1_:__-11 ui: . —
are most common, and most violent. The
organs immediately affected by Fever and
Ague, and Intermitfeuts and Remittents, nro
the Liver, the Spleen, the Stomach and Kid
neys. Upon each and all 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
pains of the back which arise from the tor
pidity or infiamation of the Kidneys. As its
name indicates, it gives a healthy tone to the
Viscere, which perform the secretion, circula
tion, and excretion. 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
the highest testimony; Medical men of
acknowledged eminence prescribe it in 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, it they desire to
escape the penalties of protracted sickness
and its concomitant dangers, agonies and
expenses.
It is not alone for its curative properties
that the Tonic Syrup is to be prised. As a
preventive it is invaluable. The virus of
disease often lies hidden in the system tor ;
months, and even years, weakening the vital j
forces, and slowly, yet surely supping the i
foundations of health and life.
The symptoms of this process appear in
sallow skin, the dull eye, the glowing feeble- j
ness of the unconscious victim As soon as ;
these or any other foreshadowings of sickness i
are observed, such as pains in the small of
the back, in the left side, or between the !
shoulders, the Tonic Syrup should be given : i
and it is guaranteed that a course of this
remedy will, in all eases, remove every germ
of billious disease from the system, restore
the natural color to the complexion, remove j
all local pain, and renew the bodily vigor of |
the individual. It is especially recommended
to the uuacclimatcd settler, as a sure safe- j
guard against Ague and Fever.

This is to shite that I was afflicted with Fe- !
ver and Ague of the most inveterate charao-:

dies, .ncluding large quantities of quiuiue,
etc., without avail. I was finally induced to '
try the Texas Touic Syrup—tlse result was
that after taking the first dose, I had “chills :
no more,” and am now rapidly recovering my ‘
health and strength. I have sent two dozen j
of this valuable ague cure to my plantation at j

After using the usual remedies (Quinine
Smith's Tonic, &c., &c.) without any good
result, I was induced to try your Texas Touic
Syrup. After taking a few doses l was en

Gentlemen : After suf

years, and finding no permanent relief from
Physician's prescriptions or the popular rem
edies of the uay, I was induced by a friend to
try your new, (though already widely known,)
“sure cure” for fever and ague, the Texas
Tonic Syrup, and am happy to state that it
worked to a charm. 1 have had hut one chill
siuce 1 coumieuced using it (and that was
caused by my own imprudence the third day
after,) although nearly three mouths have
elapsed, and 1 unhesitatingly recommend it
to all who suffer from auy form of ague as a
safe, sure, and pleasant remedy for ike same.

has not failed in a single instance to have the
wislied-for effect. I am doing a pretty large
country practice, and have daily use for some
article of the kind. I ain free to confess that
1 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. My object in writ
ing you is to find upon what terms I 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,
but I see unjust cause or good sense in dis
carding a remedy which we know to be effi
cient, simply because we may be ignorant of
its combination. For my part, I shall make
it a rule to use all and any moans to alleviate
suffering humanity which I may be able to
command—not hesitating because some one
more ingenious than myself may have learned
its effects first, and secured the sole right to
secure that knowledge. However, I am by
no means an advocate or supporter of the
thousands of worthless nostrums that flood
the country, that purport to cure all manner
of disease to which human flesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform me of your
beat terms. Iam. sir, most respectfully,

SARSAPARILLA.
A Good Reason for the Cap

READ THE CAPTAIN S LETTER AND THE
LETTER FROM II1S MOTHER.
Benton Barracks, Mo.. April 30, I860.
Du. Joun Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the
efficiency of your Sarsaparilla, and the heal
ing and beneficial qualities it possesses, 1
send you the following statement of my case. 1
I was wounded about two years ago—was
taken prisoner and confuted for sixteen
months. Being moved so often, ray wounds
have not healed yet I have not sat up a
moment since 1 was wounded. 1 am shot
through the hips. My general health is iru- i
paired, and 1 need something to assist na
ture. I have more faith in your Sarsaparilla
than any thing else. 1 wish that that is gen
nine. Please express me half adozen botilos,
aud oblige
Capt C. IV JOHNSON.
8t. Louis, Mo.
P. S.—The following was written April 30,
1806, by Mrs Jennie Johnson, mother of
'■'"I"' -VHM-WM.
I)n. Bri.t.—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. 0. |
S. Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physi
cian iu Central New York, where he died,
leaving the above C. 1*. Johnson to my care.
At thirteen years of age ho had a chronic di- 1
arrhoa and scrofula, for which 1 gave him ;
your Sarsaparilla. It Cprku 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 sue- 1
cess has attended it. The cures effected in ;
some cases of scrofula and fever sores were almost i
miraculous. I am very anxious for n»y son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. '
He is fearful of getting a spurious article. ;
hence his writing to you for it. His wounds
were terrible, but I believe he will recover.
Respectfully,
JENNIE JOHNSON.
DR JOHN BULL.
Manufacturer and Vender of the Celebrated
Smith’s Tonic Syrup!
FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE AND PS7Sn
ou
CHILLS & FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it a superiority over all
remedies ever offered to the public for the
safe, certain, speedy, and permanent cure of
Ague and Fever, or Chills ami Fever, whether
of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and South-western country
to bear him testimony to the truth of the as
I sort ion, that iu no case whatever will it fail
to cure, if the directions are strictly followed
and carried out. Iu a great mauy cases a
! single d-*se has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a siugle
bottle. With a perfect restoration of the gen
eral health. It is, however, prudent,, and ip
every case more certain to cure, if its use is
continued in smaller doses for a wreek or two
i after the disease has been checked, more es
' pecially in difficult and long-standing oases.
Usually, this medicine will not require any
aid to keep the bowels in good order; should
the patient, however, require a cathartic
I medicine, after having taken three or four
I doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL'S
, VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suffi
cient.
