COLLETON B1TTERs.
HNHEsE Bitters are purely vegetabh

VuNHESE Bitters are purely vegetable com
- pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of benevolence under the fullest convic.
ton that they will be found safe and sovereign
,emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been tfium.
ohantly tested, not only by some Of the most re.
.pectable families and physicians in the State Of
South Carolina, who have furnished ample testi-
ony as 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 10
most other Bitters, Of not proving injurious by con-
tinucd use. They contain not single deleterious
ingredient, and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the month.
With pleasure, and for the benefit of mankind,
send you certificate relative to the Colleton Bit
ters.
In the year 1888, when the cholera was in
Charleston, S. c., was compelled to send servant
to the city. On his return, he was suddenly attack
ed with most violent pain In his bowels, SO much so
as to cause apprehension that he would expire in a
short time if medical aid could not be procured.
Immediately resoTted to the Coeton Btters by Civ
ing wine glass full at dose. In the course of a
very short time il acted as an cmetc, and throwing
him at the same time into profuse pcrsphdtion. l
then continued to give in small doses, from tVo TO
three tea spoonsfull, which resulted in happy re.
covery. Since then have been using il constantly
in my family, in cases of cholera morbus, cholera
infantum, diarrhGa and general debility, and in
every instance found it highly beneficial Some
constitutions, however, require much larger doses
than others.

II is with feelings Of gratitude as well as pleasure
that take this method Of giving my testimony Of
the great estimation which entertain for your in
valuable compound. In justice not only to the me-
dicine, but for the benefit Of others who may be suf
fering from the same maady, Dyspepsia, with which
was for years afflicted, feel il duty incumbent
on me to state that | am now restored 10 eerfect

Bitcrs it was last resort. My debility from in

as almost hopeless. After taking il regularly and

We have increased our facilities for the acqu-

from the army and navy. We have employed
additional correspondents and artists, to write
and sketch as they march and fight. 1t is our
intention to publish letters from all points, from
the Cult to the Pacific, and to illustrate every
event of interest. We shall also give pictorial
views Of the most important towns, passes,
places, persons, Notifications, &C. SC. These
will place before our readers a clearer view oil
Mexico and her people, than can be obtained
from any merely written history. Indeed, the
NetU York Herald will contain complete and

ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE MEXICAN WAR.
To-day we give sketch of the Market Plaza
of Matamoras, exhibiting the market house and
square, and the market men coming into the city
with their mules laden with provisions.
We shall publish view of the town of Marin

THE GRATITUDE OF REPUBLIcs.-lt is to be
hoped that the brave officers and men who may
be engaged in any future victories in Mexico, will
be properly rewarded by the thirtieth Congress.
The twenty-nlnth Congress treated those who
achieved the victories at Palo Alto, Resaca de la
Palma, and Monterey, most shamefully.

controlled their affections and led them liksRa
flock of sheep. for upwards of forty years. At one
time he was idolised, and at the beck of his hand,
could have raised a hundred thousand men to do
his bidding. But he has at last shown his true
Character, which he so long concealed. Ignominy
and disgrace await him; and before many years,
he will be as much detested and despised as for
merly he was idolised and respected.
His course towards the young Ireland party
and his fawning on the wings, have destroyed
his reputation as patriot; but the expression he
used few weeks since in Cancellation Hall
that he regretted the repeal fund had dwind-
led from four hundred to fifteen pounds per
week"-is sufficient to convince even his most
ardent admires, that he does not possess the COM
mon feelings of our nature. At any other time
that remark would not call for comment; but to
make it at time when hundreds were perishipg
for want of the neoessares Of life, proves that he
is dead to the misery around him. If the large
sums that have been contributed to fill his pockets
and swell the exchequer of the Repeal Associa-
ton, and which have been expended in a way
known only to him and his colleagues, had been
treasured up and expended in the purchase of
food, Ireland would not now be the scene OF such
misery as it is.
We are disposed to think that O'Connell's day
is past, and that before many years his name will
be execrated from one end Of Ireland to tho
other.
