At the request Of friend we publish the following
extracts of an editorial article in the Examiner. We
take occasion to say, upon this much mooted subject
of the change OF the transportation of the mails from
the fredericksburg and Potomac Rail Road to the
Central and Orange and Alexandria Rail Roads, that
great Injustice has been done to the motives and acts
OF the Postmaster General BY the ncessant assaults OF
the partial and prcjulccl champions OF the Frede-
ricksburs and Potomac Rail Road company. A full
understanding of all the facts Of the case show that
the Postmaster General could no, have acted differ
cu,ly and discharged his duty in conformity TO the
law and 10 the public interest

A GREAT BLESSING TO THE AFFLIC.
TED.

RST The number and formidable character
of diseases of the Liver have long challenged
the attention of medical men. Some of these
diseases, classed under the general term of Con !.
sumption, have been supposed incurable and the
unhappy patient allowed to die, without medical
science to offer him hope Of recovery. Hap
PLY this can no longer be the case. A remedy
has been found which will cure all complaints,
of whatever character, arising from arrangement
Of the Liver. The Pills discovered by DR.. NJ
Lane, of Virginia, act directly on the Liver; and
by correcting its operation and purifying it from
disease, cuts off and extirpates the complaints
which have their origin in the diseases Of this
organ. Remedies hitherto proposed for liver
complaints, have failed to operate upon the seat
Of. the disease; but DR.. McLane's Pills make
themselves felt upon the action of the Liver,
and by cleansing the fountain. dry up the impure
streams of disease which thence derive their ex-
istence.
OF Persons will be careful to ask for DR. NJ
Lanes Celebrated Vermifuge, and take none
else. All other Vermifuges. in comparison, are
worthless. DR. M Lanes Vermifuge, also his
Celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all
respectable Drug Stores in the United States
| and Canada. 80

OBITUARY.

We announced last week the death of our
much estetm med fellow citizen, John p Baily.
He was native of Long Island New York, but
for sixteen years has been reside mt OF this place
We have lost in him one of our most valuable
citizens-nay, it is no exaggeration to say, our
most valuable citizen. Remarkable for close
attention to hts o,ca business, his punctuality
was so great as to enable him to discharge his
public trusts with degree eff fidelity which has
rarely been equalled, and never surpassed.
Wherever he has resided he won we'll desery-
ed reputation for integrity, bu, the benevolence
of his heart was known only to those who en-
joyed an intimate acquaintance with him. II
may be said Of him, but of few others, that he
never failed to perform any duty to his fellow
men, and his bereaved companion has the con
ISOLATION of knowing that he was prepared tc
meet his God.

We beg leave to place before you, the fact that
we are now fully prepared TO carry forward with
success the great Panting movement Of q direct

Our arrangements embrace HavFe, Antwerp, Rot

Trieste and Marseilles. These are the leading
continental Forts, and in each we have Our osvue
special friends. one of our HOUSE having visited
Europe to complete all necessary srraneemeu1n2
Our credits are duty opened and confirmed, and
we row tender you tho use Of the tame, and beg
10 place before you our principle Of business
aud the advantages not only 10 the RI inter indi-
vidua'ly but TO the entire South.
We do business strictly upon a fair and leglti.

that we can save the shipper from So 20 10 50 %

our friends liberal cash advance, and place them
under Il protection of ample capital on the con-

until far prices are realized.
The importance Of resisting The Liverpool mo-

we ask is for the Planter to test the matter. for

azoo County, Dec. 4, 1870.
Mrs. PREwErr: - Permit US, through the |
columns of your journal, to renounce our allegi-
ance to the order Of the s.Sag NIGHTS" council
of which exists in your city, and of which we
have heretofore been members of good standing.
There are various reasons that prompt US to this
course, and we are actuated by none other than
motives of patriotism ard devotion to the coun-
try of our adoption; our conclusions having been
the result of deliberate and impartial investiga-
ton.
With one exception the undersigned ire for
eigners; many years ago we left the land of our
nativity, to seek our fortunes and home in the
western hemisphere. Since then we have won
character and name. Having earned our right
of suffrage we have enjoyed all the privileges
and immnnities of native born citizens, and have
lived happy and contented until this spirit of
prescription first manifested itself throughout
our country.
We were told that the so-styled "American
Party was pcrnicous in its tendencies, that,
aiming at our ruin it wouli deprive US of our
rights as citizens and eventually expel US from
American soil. We were persuaded, with ma
ny others, to form ourselves into an organization
for mutual defence and protection-to stay the
course of this demon of fanaticism, who with
bloody and ruthless hands was thus striving to
tear down the affairs of our faith and religion,
and carry sorrow and desolation to our very
Ihearth-stones.
Well! wejoined this benevolent ri order of
I"Sag Nchts," and what was the result. A few
weeks sufficed to open our eyes and make US
tremblingly alive to the deception and degrade
ton TO which we were about to be subjected.
But the veil of cupidity and duplicity was too
glaring and transpare Mt, to conceal the hidious
features features of this CHASTITY 'Morkanna."
The same spirit, of prescription of foreigners
| by Know othingism, we found here displayed
to an equal extent, and we saw to our shame
and modification that we were destined to be
become &c possble), the willing dupes aud pli-
ant tools of the leaders Of the order to further
their ambitions, political schemes and money
loving, self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
| We promise the gentlemen of the order that
| our oafhs shall be preserved inyiolate, unless
we are compelled to refute the probable attacks
of the order, or vindicate our own honor.
While las foreigners) we are bitterly opposed
Ito aAmericanism,h yet on the other hand we
cannot and will not stoop so low as to lend our
selves to the furtherance Of the ambitious views
and grovelling designs of a few old broken down
political party hacks. Woul to heaven that all
our fellow countrymen would consult their in
Iterests, and give this momentous subject tina,
consideration which its Importance requires
lit would elevate them both socially and polit
4 ically, and save them many heart burnings
Ifruitless dissensions, and and moral and politi
cal degradation.

TOBACCO FAMINE IN FRANcE.-An unusual
circumstance has created no little sensation at
Bayonne. During the last few days there have
been no cigars or tobacco for sale. The stocks
of the various dealers and that of the depot be-
came completely exhausted, owing, as was said,
to the foundations having prevented the expect
ed arrivals. The smokers grumbled bitterly and
then proceeded to purchase all the tobacco that
could be found in the neighboring villages. The
supply obtained was but scanty, and when it
was exhausted messengers were dispatched as
far as OAK, by railray, a distance of seventy-fve
miles. 70 obtain fres.. store.

RAILROADS DAaAGEs.-In the case Of Malnd9
Winn tried AZ Macona few days since, the jury
gave 81 ,000 damages against the Macon and
Western Railroad. The Telegraph relates the
circumstances giving rise to the suit as follows.
The engine coming in collision with car
rage, containing Mrs. VIM withfhree children
and negro driver, the consequences was that
two of the children and the driver was killed
ouright-that Mrs. VIM sustained fracture
of the arm and that the third child, the plain
tiff in this case, sustained very severe fracture
of the skull, from the effects Of which she has
never wholly recovered.
