COIletOn Bitters.

YNHESE Bitters are purely vegetable com
- pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of benevoence, under the fullest convic-
lion that they will be found a safe and sovereign
'emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-
,hantly tested, not only by some of the most re-
'pectable families and physicians in tho State Of
south Carolina, VINO have furnished ample testi-
nony to their decided excellence, but also by the
proprietor, who for ten years, suffered all the gloom
incident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Btters, of not proving Injurious by con-
tinued use. They contain not single deeterious
ingredient, and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the month. s4R
I have been familiar with the use of the Coletoa
Btters Tor four or five years, and in that time have
seen il administered in several cases Of dyspepsia,
and always with decided advantage. Beyond this,
as it only claims to cure dyspepsia, know not that
any testimony is desired, but may be permitted to
remark that consider it an excellent tonic app.isa-
BILE to most cases of debility particularly among chill
dren. Such are the cases in which have generally
administered it. and am not acquainted with any
medicine which would prefer before it for that pur-
pose. HsgE S. f3 .sr VIII. WIGG.

O-The RuShyille {: .Ticksoa5as'' of the 1st inst,
contains article in relation to letter of " limo
lcon published in the Semi-weekly Sentinel of tie
24th ult That letter intimated that certain Senator's
who were exasperaed at the terms Of the settlement
of the Oregon question, would in their anger oppose
the passage of the tariff, and would act with the
Wings in other matters. The ''Jacksonian" OBJ
serves, that it would not perhaps have noticed these
SANDERS, had not the letter been published by us
with "our silent endorsement" Now our declared
rxle always has been, that do not hold ourselves
responsible for the statements of any correspondent
"TImoleon'' forms no exception to this rule. He
is of integrity and honest intentions, far
we are able to Judge; and to his statements about
matters at Washington, how could we properly either
endorse or invadate them, until time and events
firmed or dsproved them! Our desire and design is
to give the people the truth, let it affect whom mays
and in order do this, it is necessary to allow
correspondents freedom Of speech,-they being
sponsible for the same. As to the particular
with which he made US acquainted, and which the
Jacksonian scourges him for, they were very freely
spoken of and commented upon by other writer's,
well as by 'Tmoleon." Even the Washington
" Union,'' usually cautious, spoke of "loose
screws" in the Senate. Under such circumstances
thought it best publish the letter, whether the
rumors alluded to should turn out true or false as
of safety party, and of caution to any
who stood in need of it. Two wrongs don't make
right; and though the Oregon question may have
been settled unsatisfactory us, and wrongully to
the country, it would not justify any in hostility
to other rightful measures a of rerenge.
The Jacksonian names Messrs. Hannegan and Bright
among others to whom the imputatons noticed by
"Timoleon" may be supposed to apply. So far as
both these gentlemen concerned, have full con-
fdence that such an application would be unjust.
As to MIR. Hannegan especially, we know that he
feels, and feels deeply that the just claims of our
country in Oregon have been shamefuy and unneces-
sarily sacrificed and he, like ourselves, is somewhat
free of speech in the face of wrong but are GER
tain that he. and every other Democratic Senator who
contended for Oregon for the sake Of Oregon, will
still occupy their position with the Democratic flag
their head, and it every principle of the party
will be inscribed and preserved.

Besides the monthy paw, as above stated one ratio

Besides the monthly pay, as ABOVE stated, one ration
per day is allowed every soldier, which is amply
sufficient for his subsistence also, large supply OF
comfortable and genteel clothing. Good quarters and
fuel are at all times furnished and every attention
Will be paid to making those men who may enlist,
and who are determined to their country in good

The best medical attendance is always provided for
tue sick soldier, and no deduction Of pay is made
during the period lie is unable TO perform his duty.
Should the soldier be disabled in the line of his duty
the laws provide pension for him.
By the above it viii be seen that with prudence and
economy the monthly pay of the soldier may be laid
up-as every thing requisite for his comfort and con-
venience is furnished by the Government including
his sugar and coffee. The prudent soldier, therefore
may readily save from $40 to 81 ,020 during his
enlistment of fire years and at the expiration of the
term he can, if he chooses purchase small farm in
any of the Western States, and there settle himself
comfortably his land for the rest of his life
