This medicinal beverage is manufactured by the
proprietor, at Schiolam, Holland, expressly for
medicinal use, bya process peculiar to his own
Factory. 1t is the pure Tincturc Of the italian
Juniper Berry, whose more vinous extract is dis
titled and rectfod with its spurious solvent which
thus becomes concentrated tincture of exquisite
flavor and aroma, altogether, transccndent in its
cordial and medicinal properties to any alcoholic

Mr.. EDITOR AS the time is fast ap-
preaching when the people will be called
upon to elect District Attorney, for this
judicial District, and as in all probability,
there may be many aspirants to that Of
fee, it becomes our duty to canvass the
claims of different gentlemen, and in
view of that, allow me with all due de-
ference to the claims of Others, to pre-
sent the name of our esteemed fellow
citizen, Col. w. M. INGE, who is well
known to us as man of high moral
standing, and iurist of profound legal
requirements. We trust that Col. INGE
will suffer his name to come before the
people as a candidate for that office we
will assure him the support of

OUR TABLE.

HARPER's MAGAZINE for March has
been received. Words are inadequate to
express our opinion of this Monthly. The
enterprising publishers have secured the
services of several eminent writer's, and
for this year it still promises to be the best
Magazine in the United States. Both
the Drawer and the Drawing Depart.
ments are well and tastefully filled.
PETERsoN's MAGAZINES also on hand
This is the very book for the ladies'
come up and subscribe for it. 1t is filled
with interesting reading matter and beau
tiful fashion-plates.
GoDEY's LADy's Book is another SUI.
peru Monthly. If you want the latest
fashions. or like to read good stories take
Cooley. If you want to be instructed,
take Cooley. For the benefit of your
wives and daughters, take Cooley.
EMERsoN's MAGAzINE.-Still another
the table is getting agony piled on in the
way of choice literature. We wish we
had the same opinion of everything we
entertain concerning this periodical. But
take it, pay for it, and you will give it
the name of splendid Monthly.
EDINRURG REvIEw.-Here we have a
Magazine as is Magazine. We hav'nt
read this number, but judging from past
experience, we have no hesitation in say
ing, it is worth ten dollars year.
BLACKwOoD.-Ah, there is a treat in
store whenever this arrives; we know it,
but cannot spoil the intellectual feast by
too high opinion formed beforehand.

Terrible Disaster on the Bigbee |!
Burning Of the steamer Eliza Battle

We have intelligence this morning of
a terrible calamity on the Bigbee River
the destruction by fire of the steamer
Eliza Battle-and, what is worse, a fright
full loss of life.
1t appears that the disaster occurred
about two O'Clock on Monday morning,
about half or three quarters of mile
above Kemp's Landing, with some so or
60 passengers and 1900 or 1900 bales
cotton on board, and was completely
consumed.
AS far as ascertained, thirty three lives
were lost, consisting of the crew and pas
sengers, (about onc-half each,) and all
the cotton, except some Is or 20 bales.
The fire had its origin among the cot
ton bales on the after deck under the
cabin, and, although the flames made but
little progress at first, strong north
wind almost gale) soon spread to all
parts of the boat, and the passengers
were compelled to seek safety for their
lives by retreating in their night clothes.
The boat was headed for the shore,
but the river being high and out of its
banks and the wheel ropes burned, land
ing could not be effected.
She was, however, driven among the
trees, where she lodged until the engines
ceased to work, (the intensity of the heat
driving the engineers from their posts)
when the passengers were enabled to ef-
feet an escape by clinging to the limbs
and branches of trees, and upon bales of
cotton thrown overheard.
After the wheels stopped, the boat
swayed around and was driven across
the river by force of the wind. This
fortunate circumstance probably saved
the lives of many of the survivors, as
they must otherwise have persisted in the
flames of the boat.
The mate and pilot and some others
on cotton bales foated down the river
