THE GREAT SOUTHERN REMEDY.

What is it7 Really how can We tell you, with
out falling into the grievous blunder Of advertising
It gratuitOusly AL We feel at liberty to say s,
that it is made by man to whom is the name of
Jacob, and that it is advertised with sort of
columnar looseness in The Charleston Mercury,
(edted by the eminent Rhett the Younger), in con-
nection with Old Bourbon Whisky, First Quality
Hats, The Mustang Linment and "Tolliver, a
negro man, printers pressman and first rate
" workman" They seem to be taking great deal
of medicine in Charleston about this time-Bitters,
Mineral Waters, "Liver Invgorators, which
Never Debilitate," and "the Miraculous Vermn
Destroyer" "Mrs WIS Soothing Sirup" and
&" The Volcanic Oil Liniment"-sO that there must
be pretty general gripping in that locality, espe-
cialy as Col X. W. Seymour, George +. Kinlock,
esq, William Blum Dngle and John K. Horsey,
are all running for the office of Sheriff, and
at considerable expense beseeching their fellow
creatures to vote for them. The truth is, times
are becoming very exciting in Charleston, S. G.,
ard We hope our dear old friend Yeadon will not
think of leaving for bis annual BOreal excursion
until the public emotion has somewhat subsided.
On the 25th of June, the Northern Mail failed
the Governor Of the State presented pocket COM
pass 10 Commander Hsrtstene-the Planters and
Mechanics Bank declared dividend of S0571
per share-Francis Mitchell was indicted for steal
ing slave-the Undergraduates Of the College Of
Charleston "msde their annual maroon" and shot
at a mark-and the Great Southern Remedy was
advertised But why do We refrain from relating
all that rendered the 25th of June memorable
day in Charleston. Did not the Grand Jury then
and there make their presentments, calling for
"a codifca,ion of the whole criminal law
"of the Sta e"-calng for ferocious laws
against selling rum to "niggers - calling
for more room in the County JaI-calling
for new water. closets in the same edifce-
giving, in fact dreadful description Of the present
condition of that building In . horrible cond-
ton is the Charleston Jail. Ozark and dsnk, is
the alliterstive condemnation of the Grand Jury.
" We venture to say" they do say, THAT no phi
=. lanthropst enter our Jail, and grope his
"wsy, as We did, along its dark passages, and up
- its dark stair.cases, and not feel the deepest
sympathy for bis fellew-nan incarcerated there"
We should suppose not. But if the Jail is rather
dilapidated, We are glad to learn from the Jury
that the public schools are in excellent order-and
We are especially glad, because We have thought
that Common Schools were supposed, in Charles
ton, to be mere New-Eugland nonseuse.
The change Of opinion in that city must, We think,
be owing to :" the Great Southern Remedy" which
il undoubtedly administered, Ia Sqseers, every
morning Immediately before prayers. They must
be very fat growing in grace and in intelligence in
Charleston. For instAnce-the Grand Jury, when
they went to see the schools, were specially a.
fected by the blending of all clssses 20 completely
as to erase the difference between rich and poor,
/" high and low" Oh, s it not encouraging-does
it not elevate our opinion Of human nature in gen.
eral and South Carolina nature in particular-to
6nd this Grand Jury, mindful, doubtless, of the
solemnity Of their oaths, saying:
Good character ard st.nmeuts and sAvsntous
