a RENTAL HAIR RESTORATIVE, for re-
! ~ storing, preserving and identifying the hair,
eradicating Scrufi' and Dandruff, preventing Bald
and continuing its possession of healthy vgor
silky soness and luxurant redundancy to the latest
period of human life. Many preparations for the
hair have been palmed off upon the credulous pub
lie, for which their concoctors have claimed the
most extravagant and contradictory powers,
thing short of miraculous. The Oriental Hair Re-
storative does not profess to produce hair upon
scaps where the unalterable laws of nature inter-
to hinder its production but it has been found
to be the best remedy to prevent badness and to
restore hair where it has fallen off or become thin,
to prevent grey hair and remove every appearance
of scruf and dandruf from the hair, and keep it in
the most healthy, soft and glossy state.
! For the Ladies' toilette it is surpassed by none.
1t is cooling and refreshing, purifes, softens and
gives brlliancy to the hair.
For children it is particularly recommended as
forming the basis of beautiful head of hair.
Orders from the country promptly attended to.

| CAROTTNA

\ year ago the State Temperance Pub
licatiom Society was organized. The object
of this Society is the diffusion Of tempe
rance truth throughout the State. Arrange.
ments have been made for the vigorous pros
ccution Of this work during the year upon
which we have just entered The Tempe
rance Adrocatc has been placed under the
charge Of an experienced and energetic Edi.
tor-oue who has not onl ~ the ability, but
the resolution, to make it all that is demand
ed by the cxigencics of the cause. The
present number furnishes the strongest as
surance, that in the hands of Mr.. WARREN,
the Adrocaic will commend itself to the
cordial and steady support of all who sin
cercly desire the success Of our principles.
At the recent meeting of the Publication
Society in Columbia, the Rev. James II.
Bailey, of Lexington District, was appoint
ed agent This gentleman, who is extcn-
sivcl cly and favorably known in South Caro-
lima, will enter at once upon the discharge
Of his duties. 1t is lis purpose to visit du-
ring the year every section Of the State,
and lay before our fcllow.citzcns the claims
of this Society upon their favorable con.
sideration and liberal aid He will dstri.
butte, gratuitously, Temperance publications;
receive subscriptions to the paper, and enrol
the names Of all who may be disposed to
contribute to this Society, as members or
managers.

THE E0IATS.

Reports have been received here that
Bowrgs has withdrawn to the Swamps,
and broken of all further intercourse with
the whites! \ letter from Tampa, dated
December the 18th, relating to this rumor
and the removal Cf the Indians, has been
handed us by Il member Of the House, from
which we make the subjnncd extract. The
letter is written by one of the most intell.
gent men in South Florida If this rumor
shall prove to be true, it may devolve on the
General Assembly the duty Of presenting
to the General Government the alternative
Of either employing force themselves in the
expulsion of the savages, or the State will
interfere and protect herself. If the Indians
have Withdrawn to the woods, it is tanta-
mount to a declaration that they will not re-
move-in other words, it is a position at
once of defiance, and the authorities at
Washington are bound to make demonstra.
lions to meet the new aspect the question
thus presents.
In regard to the Indians, the only infor.
nation we have since you left, is that very
few have appeared at the Agency since the
return of Bowlegs Blake sent out the
delegation to Bowlegs' town, but they found
it deserted and did not communicate with
any Indians-tlis is heresay merely. The
precise position Of the affair is not known.
Blake, Bowman, and Bridges, are still there.
think the Governor is in correspondence
with Blake. believe that the natural pros.
perty of this Peninsula depends, not indi-
rectly, but wholly and entirely, upon the
removal Of the Indians. am not sure but
that they will have to be driven out by force
after all; but have confidently believed
that nothing short Of Il force capable Of
forcing them out, placed in a position TO act,
will induce them to remove peaceably. |
have entertained this opinion since the out
break in lS49 In December Of that year,
| have no doubt but that the Indians might
have been easily removed. Whatever in.
flucnce the Western Indians or General
Blake might have exercised over these In
dians, is now almost entirely counteracted
by the United States Military, if reports
are true, out Of jealousy of General Blake.
1t seems to me, therefore, that if the State
undertakes anything in this matter, her plans
should be upon scale equal to the task to
to be accomplished; so that, let things go
as thew NAV failure shall he impossible. |

CHARACTER vs.. WEALTH.

Man in his perscvering and unlaunted
spirit, is engaged continually OH one subject,
and has for his aim but one object, and that
is wealth, and notwithstanding he may have !,
character pure as the drop which is graded
in the bosom of The fower-a mind which
scars above the yrovclling things of earth,
and lodges itself in some hidden recess, but
that may work The more silently-notwill.

Ever since the Almighty peoplcd this
world, wealth has, in comparatively every
case, been the chief end Of man. II is true
that in few instances, where fame and
wealth have presented themselves at the
same time, that fame has been chosen; but
few are the instances which can be quoted
in support Of this assertion, and few are the
instances where man has refused wealth for
character. But when we reflect, our sup.
prise or stonshment decreases.
Take, for instance, child, and watch its
progress; its playfulness, its gladstone elee,
and fondness for its parents, coupled with its
cunning, wins the love of all who see it. In
few short years, those hours, so filled with
playtulness and mi'th, are now frought with
pleasure, pain and trouble. Kind, maternal
