8>«u Bo would call the attention of our j
publishing friends to the advertisement of j
Messrs. B hitenmn Brothers. Menodiis !
Tcnn., dealers in book papers and news
print. Their ,1/ills nre near Nashville,
and fVum thorn they can supply paper
cheaper than any house in the South. We
have been buying our newsprint from them
for the past year, and have, found no cause
to complain of quality or price. Send un 1
prder and give them a trial.
8®" We ic'irn from rcliablo authority,
that on Monday htft, as tho J 1). Ferry
was lying at the landing at Devalls Fluff,
some insulting negroes came aboard and
Ibegan a quarrel with the Mate and deck I
hands of the boat, which resulted in tho j
negroes being genteelly thrashed by the
boats crew; the negroes beingdiscomfeited j
by their deleat, went into town, procured i
guns and pistols, returned and lived into
the boat, alsoiutothe Liberty No 2, which
in the mean time had arrived at the land ,
ing. Fortunately no damage was done, j
beyond a hall or two passing through the
cabin of the Liberty. The negroes were
arrested and discharged, upon w hat ground
we have not learned, lor they were hardly
justifiable uuderany circumstances in uiak
mg (his attack. Comment is unnecessary.

never comes unannounced. Like the j i

Cold, catarrh, influenza, and divers

John's Pretty Wikis.—At the early
dawn of the rebellion, John would go.
No persuasion .could induce liim to
abandon bis lighting propensities. He
craved Yankee meat.
llis wife was in desperate health,
pale, feeble and emaciated, yet young.
A parting kiss and John was gone.
During the first twelve months of the
war news came that John's wife bud
passed away! The war closed and
John, with honors, stars and glory, re
turned to liis oiice happy home. “Oh,”
says he, “that sweet flower, so beauti
ful in fading, has gone, I will stroll the
walks where once we were so happy.”
lie was invited into tho parlor. A
line, healthy, rosy lady made her ap
pearance. A scream Was heard and
she fell into his arms ! Ah, what a hap
py time—that ludy was John's wife,
"My dear wife,” says John, "what lws ;
produced so great a change in you ?"
“Droomgoole & Co.’s English Female
Bitters,” was tho modest reply.

The Helena Shield says : “The leVcc

The Helena Clarion states : The adop
tion of a uniform schedule of fees by
the lawyers of our town, one of the
leading teat urea of which is a lair pro
portion of‘‘cash,” has sensibly dimin
ished, we arc informed, the number of
litigants, and will out oB‘ many long
legal controversies.
At Helena, Lewis Greer, negro, with
a friend, called for some sugar at Brit
tain's grocery, As Mr. Brittain was
stooping to the counter to get some
wrapping paper, Greer assaulted him
with a hatchet, and gave him a severe
blow on t lie temple, inflicting a painful
wound Mr. B. recovered from the stun
caused by the blow in a few seconds,
ind turned to get a pistol, when the |
man run off bt.'t were arrested.
At Lunsford’s wnodynrd, fifty miles

searching a negro's house for some
stolen meat. As he was LitcIJng li.'s

bis cabin and tired at Mr. Carrick with
i Springfield title, killing Him iustant
y. The murderer escaped.
Speaking List Saturday.
As had been previously announced, |
Ad. Pools, accompanied by his luau
A'idav, W. W. AVilsHire. of Little
Hock, spoke to the people of this conn- (
y—white aiifiUilack—conservative and
■adical—last Saturday, and were ro
uted to by Col. \V. K. Patterson, of
bis city. Jt would be next to an im
lossihilitv to give any tiling like an
ntclligeiflt synopsis of Boots* speech ,
m account of the disconnected and
euttoriug way in which he delivered
dmsclf. It was composed of all tin1
idds and ends of the half finished and
loorly constructed arguments of the l
eaders of his party. Ho is no speaker
—don’t coluo up to school boy decla
nation—but is as complete a bore as
iver addressed an audience. Kven bis I
icgro triends were sadly disappointed
n bint, and we beard one of them
iignilicaiitly remark that ‘lie's not a
terv deep root, no how,” and every
iody else was of the same opinion.
Liut even if he was deep Poot and big
Hoots, be was so etfcctualy dug up—
•oot mid branch—by Col. Patterson,
bat he will never take “root” again.
Indeed, we felt sorry for hint, for we
lever heard a man beg pardon, we
mean “Boots,”—get such u skinning
icfore. Poor fellow! VVe are satisfied
that there has been a sad mistake made
n this matter of putting Boots before
.ui: iijmiuhi u buikih” i:uusi:.
\ few more advocates of his kind and
■nllbre will effectually do the work for
■adiealism. lie did not even win the
food opinion of a single intelligent
jegro who heard him last Saturday.
He is a small potatoe even in the radi
:al kill, where there are so many that
were never anything else but roots, and .
,s the man above all others we Would
lave selected from the mongrel party
jf Arkansas to canvass for the infa
mous constitution now before the peo- (
ale for ratification. His advocacy
insures its condemnation by the peo
ple, and we predict that it will not re
icive three hundred and fifty votes in
Jackson county.
In the uameot the people who arc in
favor of the white man's party, we
[hank Col. l'utterson for his manly
effort in their behalf, and in his speeches
from now until election day, may his :
trenchant blade do its work as effectual- ■
ly else where ns it did here last balur- ■
day. Sic transit gloria Iioots.
Woulu'nt Divide.—Wc understand
that Col. Hoots and Worry Wearisome
Wilshire declined to divide time with
Hon. Win. Byers, at Uatesville, last i
Monday. Wo are not surprised at
them for not dividing with Judge
Uyers. They made a little divisiou
down here a ml, were so nearly demol
ished by Col. Patterson, that they
couldn't stand • another divide, lie,
gave them such a skinning that they
will not recover from it duriug the
canvass. One more divisiou and there
won't he Hoots enough left for sued.
A Scornful Defiance to Kotten
Hail leal lain.
Wo liavo received from one evident
ly deeply interested in the general wel
fare, the following:
Wakkkn, January 28,
Editor Commercial, Cincinnati:
Dcar.Sir: 1, indirectly a subscriber
of your daily paper fbr a number of
years, have been Compelled to Sense
iaking it ou account uf Us tone of
Politics. Why iseht it to the Same, as
it wa*iu the time of the War will you t
please tidl me? 1 am true blue, and I I
while there is a drop of blood In my | 1
Veins 1 will not console with the!1
Democrat Party (or rather ‘•Hubs.”) I '
Shall expert a reply in your paper.
Very Hespecifully, J. W. (!.
What I his person means as “indircc-1
11y a subscriber” wosjau only conjee-j
lure. We suppose ho has been in the
habit of borrowing the Commercial, or '
stealing it from a direct subscriber.
Of course we are duly impressed by
the menacing intimation that lie will i ,
not borrow or steal any more. We
know such fellows too well, however,
to suspect this one of any real purpose j
of carrying out such a threat.
Ills idea of journalist^is, that when '
a caucus of republican members of . on-1
gress has decided licit « certain idea-1
sure should ::<> through that body, i
every head should hr uncovered, and
every knee should head in lowly sub
mission. And he is so stupid a person
as to suppose that a feeble cry of “coen
aiden' with democratic rebel party is
sufficient to terrify all who are not to
tally depraved into agreement with,
and solemn submission to, the con
gressional rattens.
Now. we hold the opinion that mea
sures before congress are unwise and
dangerous, and we intend to say so ;
and no caucus decree shall intimidate
or influence ns in the least in the bflgt
expression we can giv^our honest
convictions. We belts virtlie bill to
make Gen. Grant (lie absolute master
of the southern states, and independent
of the president, is nnsonstitutibnal,
and, aside from tlint, an indiscretion
that ought to till reasonable men with
amazement; and as a measure affecting
the next presidental election, the most
desperate folly that could bo commit
ted. It is a 1)1 under, and it is u crime.
We believe the hill to tinker tlio su
preme court, and disqualify it except
under newly-presented conditions, in
anticipation of a decision that some of
the acts of congress are unconstitution
al, is uncalled for, and full of evil
promises. We object to a change in
the form of our government because
Andrew Johnson is President. We
object to a curse of legislation that is
at war witli the historic experience of
mankind is estnblishiug free govern
ments.
And these very sentiments were ap
plauded in the recent consultation of
republican leaders held nt Columbus:
and though three hundred of the most
influential republican politician* in the
state were present, there was no voice
raised in opposition to them. And if
this “isn't” the same sort ol republican
ism that was good stock during the
war, perhaps some one who knows all
about it will “pleas” tell ns why not,—
Cincinnati Commercial, (Rad.)

ftafThe Columbus ((I a) Enquirer says
Mr. Stevens, of Russell county, Ala
bama, raised, on ordinary pine land, an
average of twent y-six hundred pounds
in seed cotton, from Brazilian seed, of
a rich, creamy, yellow color, very tine
fiber, and long staple. Experienced
cotton dealers pronounce it worth
twice as much as the ordinary upland

Dr. John Buli.— Dear Sir: Last February t
I was in Louisville purchasing drugs, and 1 j
got some of your Sarsaparilla and Cedion
Bitters.
My Son-in-law who was with me in the
store, has been down with rheumatism for
some time, commenced on the Bitters, and j
soon found Ilia general health improved.
Dr. Gist, who has been in had health, tried j
them, and he also improved.
Dr. Coffee, who has been in bad health for j
several years—stomach and liver affected—he
improved very much by the use of your Bit
ters. Indeed the Cedron Bitters has given
you great popularity in this settlement. 1

To my United Slate* and Worlds
wide Readers.
I have received many testimonials from
professional and medical man, as my alma
nacs and various publicat ions have* shown,
all of which are genuine. The following letA
ter from a highly educated and popular phy™
sician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most
sensible communications I have ever received, j
Dr. (’lenient knows exactly What he speaks
of, and his testimony deserves to bo written

V ill a now, Walker County, 0a ., j
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have recent
ly given your “Worm Destroyer” several
trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It
has not failed in a single instance to have the
wished-for effect* I am doing a pretty large
country practice, and have daily tise'for some
article of the kind. 1 am 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 tind npon vrhat terms 1 can get
the medicine directly from you. If l can gei
it upon easy terms, 1 shall use a great deal of j
it. 1 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 no just cause or good sense in dis
carding a remedy which we know to be effi
cient, simply because we may he ignorant of
its combination. For my part, l shall make
it a rule to use all and any means 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, 1 am by
no means an advocate or supporter of tiie
thousands of worthless nostrums that Hood
the country, that purport to cure all manner
of disease to which human flesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform me of your
best terms. 1 am. Hr, most respectfully,

FOR THE CURE OF

on
CIIILLS & 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, spee dy, and permanent euro of |
Ague and Fever, or Chills aud Fever, whether :
of short or long standing. He refids to the
entire Western and South-western country
to bear him testimony to the truth of the as- , :
sertion, that iu no case whatever will it fail
to cure, if the directions are strictly followed
and carried out. In « great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, aud 1
whole families have been cured bt a single ; !
bottle. With a perfect restoration of the gen- ,
oral health. It is, however, prudent, and iu ;
every case more certain to cure, if its use is j
continued in smaller doses for a week or two j
after the disease has been checked, more es- (
peofaUy in difficult and long-standing cases. J
Usually, this medicine will not require any
aid to kotfp the bowels ia good order) should |
the patient, however, require a cathartic
medicine, aft or having taken three or lour ]
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULK'S
VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suffi
cient. 1 '

J t*-T
Tonic Syrup!
A rapid and never failing cure for
Fever & Ague, in* Chills & Fever.
Every poison ha*its antidote—Every
disease has its cure.
It is a known fact that the powerful miner- !
al medicine* so often administered in copious
doses iu intermittent and Billious Remittent
Fevers are as perilous to the constitution as j
the fevers themselves, while their operation
is generally slow and upccrtain, am! their ef
fects eVftttecseni. Remedies of this class,
ha/ardious under any circumstances, cannot
he used with any approach to safety except
under the directions of a physician : and in j
the regions where Fever and Ague* Billions
Fever, Ohill and Fever, Pumb Ague unci their
kindred complaints chiefly prevail, medical
men are sometimes few and tar between, and
medical advice almost unobtainable. It is
obvious, therefore, that a medicine like the
Terns ToniCSycup. prompt end cer
tain in its action as a curative, ami 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, frotn 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 the attack comes on. July,
' > v’r _
months during with all billions complaints
are mfest common, and most violent. The
organs immediately affected by Fever and
Ague, and Intermittent* an*l Remittents, are
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 How of bile, preven
ting or relieving that enlargmeut of the splcea
known as tho Aguo Cake, strengthening tho
digestive powers and removing those severe
pains of the back which arise from the tor
pidity «or inflamation of the Kidneys. As its
name indicates, it gives a healthy tone lo the
Viscere, which perform the secretion, circula
tion. and excretion. Instead of indicting a
diock upon t he internal, as mineral medicines
necessarily do, it. invigorates and agists
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
?auso of tiie disorder.
Of theS’e facts the inventors of the Texas
Tonic Syrup have liad innumerable proofs
md they are prepared to establish them by
he highost testimony; Medical men of
icknowledged eminence prescribe it in their
private practice, and it is rapidly superceding
ill other preparations of its class throughout
;lie west Southwest and South. No family
residing in any section subject to the visit a
ions of Ague and Ffever, or any billions com
plaint, should be without it, if they desire to
•scape the penalties of protracted sickness
md its concomitant dangers, agonies and
expenses.
It is not alone for its curative properties •
hat the Tonic Syrup is to bo prized. As a j
preventive it is invaluable. The vims of I
liseasc often lies hidden in the system for
months, arvl even years, weakening the vital i
forces, and slowly, yet surely • •-’ p ng the |
foundations of health and life.
The symptoms of this process appear in j
sallow' skin, the dull eye, the growing foeble§ 1
aess of the unconscious victim As soon as l
those or any other foreshadowings of sickness |
ue observed, such as pains in the small of
die back, iu the left side, or between the |
ihoiil’lers, the Tonic Syrup should be given : j
md it is guuiitutved that »l course ot this
■emody will, in all cases, remove every germ i
if billious disease from the system, restore
lie natural color to the complexion, remove i
ill local pain, and renew the bftdily vigor of
he individual. It is especially recommended !
o the unacclimatcd settler, as a sure s«i>
;uard against Ague and Fever. * j

llAJfSHEt.D & HlflBBK—
Gentlemen: Having
ong suffered from chills and fever, and after
laving tried without effect, quinine, Ayer’s
igue Cure and other chili medicines, l was
uduced to take a bottle of your Texas Tonic
iyrup, and after taking a few doses was en
irely relieved and have not had a chill since,
take pleasure in recommending it as a safe
,nd pleasant as well as speedy cure for the
.bove named disease. 11. 1*. TOAISON,
„ No 43 South Court Square.
This is to state that l was afflicted with Fo
er and Ague of the most inveterate charac
er for about two years. I tried many remo
lies, ,ncluding large quantities of quinine,
tc.. without avail. 1 was finally induced to
ry the Texas Tonic Syrup—the result was
hat after taking the fir^t dose, l had “chills
10 more,” and aui now rapidly recovering my
icalth aud strength. I have sent two dozen
if this valuable ague euro to my plantation at
dillikeu's Bend. Every planter should keep
t on hand. 11. K. AUSTIN,

md Fevers, frequently to such an extent as j
o keep me confined to bod for weeks. Item- j
idy after remedy w as triad without my tiud
ng relief, until l despaired regaining my
icalth. With many doubts I consented to
ry your Texas Tonic Syrup, and to my graii
ication experienced immediate relief. For
jrecaution sake l took the entire bottle, and
low six months have elapsed 1 have not bad
k. single chill and my strength has fully re
timed. I consider the Texas T nie Syrup to
)o eminently the first and best Fever and

Mansfield & Uiguee—
Gentlemen : After suf- |
vring more or less from the ague for five
fears, and finding no permanent relief from
i'hysieian’s prescriptions or the popular rem
edies of the day, I was induced by a frioud to
ry yoor now, (though already widely known,)
'sure cure” for fever and ague, the Texas
Ponie Syrup, and am happy to state that it
forked to a charm. I have had but one chill
iiuce 1 commenced using it (and that was
mused by my own imprudence the third day '
it'ter,) although newly three moniiia have
lapsed, and 1 unhesitatingly recommend it
o all who suffer from any form of ague as a
afe, sure, and pleasant remedy for the same.
