A certain CURE FOR FELoN.-We are sure
that all who have suffered from genuine bone felon
will thank Us for making public 50 simple and yet
so effectual a remedy the following. In thou
sand OF instances, weeks and months Of the most
Intense suffering have been endured, allowing Of
neither rest by day nor sleep by night aud when
cure at last effected the finger thumb is often de
formed tor life. As soon as il becomes apparent
that felon is making its appearance, which is
known by continued soreness and pain proceeding
from the bone, and sometimes eylneing but little
pain for the worst fora week or two, take strong
cyrl OF any kind, aud wrap Il around the fugor
above the afflicted part, as tightly can be borne
Keep t in this condition until the pain can be en-
Gurcd no longer. Now loose the cord and as soon
the pain caused by the cording subsidies tighten it
again. Continue this for several days, or until the
felon is completely blackened and killed. We have
known several person who have been sfiicted with
ftons to try this remedy with success; 10 fact We
have never known Il TO fail The cording stops
the circulation, aud thus the sore has nothing 10
feed ca and soon dies Of starvation. We have
faith Ia this remedy, even after ielon has made
considerable Exchange.

the visitors kindly, and said, I'm thinkin, ye
ken great deal about Robert in America"
and added that she received more calls from
gentlemen from "the States" than from any
other part of the world.-She showed the
visitors some letters of her brother, written in
a bold round hand; also an original portrait,

JANUARY 20.
At the date of our previous report of the cotton
market, it will doubt be recollected that left
the market firm, with good demand, at prices rang
ing from 8 a. 81 cents e1trems. 3
The week now under review opened with the same
good feeling and steady demand, at former quota
tons, and up to Tuesday evening there was no quo
table change in the general ruling rates. On We'd
nesday, however, in consequence of the advices from
Liverpool being unfavorable, reporting decline in
that market Of t@4d, with small sales to the trade,
all the principal markets in this country showed
symptoms Of decline, and as q matter of course
our market dragged heavily, and in the course Of
that and the following day, prices receded 5@3c. on
rates current at the date of our last weekly report
On Friday and Saturday the market was more active
and prices recovered of what they had lost in the
early part of the week The sales of the week foot
up 900 bales, and we now quote inferiar 73@19; Or
dinary Sb@Si; middling Ss@S4; good middling g
asa, and fair 500 cents.
Bacon.-The supply still continues good, though
prices are more firm, at our former quotations.
Sides 1904 cents; Hams 14@16 cents.
Corn.-There is still good demand for Corn,
though more has been received this week than for
some time. Theprice still continues at S0@90 cents
per bushel.
Rour.-The supply is still light, and the demand
very good. Prices still continue full viz: S450@
AIS, barrels S9@9.50.
Peas.-The demand is still good, at our former
quotation 5000 cents per bushel
Oates.-The supply islight, and they sell readily
at 65@75 cents per bushel.

Removal of tho Florida Indians.

The Tallahassee Floridian of January 10 says:-
We are pleased to learn from Gov. Broome the &C.
ceptabe intelligence that Gen. Davis who presides
ever the War Department at Washington, sent in
structons to Col Munroe to adopt coercive measures
for the removal of the remnant of savages occupy
ing the extreme Southern portion of this State. Re-
moval is now the declared purpose and to accom-
psh it, the Executive Of this State has been author
lied by the War Department to receive and tender to
Colonel Munroe for immediate service, Eve compa-
nies of Volunteers. And should the FIVE be INSULT
cient, as many more as Col. Munroe may desire.
In accordance with the tenor Of the despatch re-
ceived from Washington, Gov. Broome has promptly
received and rendered for immediate service, four
volunteer companies, commanded by Messrs. Ken
drick, Durrance, Sparkman and Hooker respectively,
Capt Johnson's company, of Sumpter county, had
been received by Col. Munroe, Immediately upon
the happening of the recent Indian outbreak.
Gov. Broome, whose promptness in this matter
entities him to the highest commendation assures
that much patriotism has been displayed by promi-
nent citizens of the eastern and southern portions of
the State, manly tender of their services to fa
cilitate whatever means might be adopted for the
expulsion of the sayages. We congratulate the citi
zens of South Florida upon this important step,
which is to rid them Of troublesome neghbor, and
place them on footing of equality with the rest Of
the citizens Of our State.

We have for while past been accustomed to place
this enterprise any where else than in the category
of "f1ed facts, regarding it, from every point of
view, doubtful proposition whether it ever would
be completed. But little daylight peers through
the dim distance now, and the destiny of the thing
is manifest. 1t will reach Spartanburg, by-and-by
Here is proof, taken from the letter of CORES
pondent of the Ne,o6sry Mirror. Speaking Of his
travels, the traveller says
ave met on the cars the President of the Union
and Spartanburg Railroad, a prosperous merchant
and the agent of the Newberry Bank at Unionville,
and he satisfied us that ne would make good Pres
ident, without so intending to impress us st the
time. He had come down on the stage to the head
of his road, it was covered with snow, and no en-
CINE nor hand car, nor living man was to be found
now what will Mr. President do? Why he takes
carpet bag in hand, walks on the track, finds hand
they walk together, and after walking some miles
perhaps, they find an engine, ''fre up says the
President and he got on and rode down to the juno
ton some time before the arrival Of the Greenvle
train We now cnclude the Union and Spartanburg
road will be built !" -

miles up the coast above Fort Dallas Lad arrived at
the Fort not dceming it prudent to remain at his
house. He was in the habit of traffcking with the
Indians, selling them liquor, &c. He reported that
day or two previous to his arrival at the Fort, q
party Of Indians came to his house, and traded as
usual. AS they were leaving, one of them turned
back and said to the trader, tnat he liked him, he
would advise him to " vanish," as he expressed it,
no longer be safe for him to remain where
he was.
