Great truths are indestructibe. When Jenner aver
red that vaccine innoculation safeguard against
the smallpox the faculty" sneered. Forty-fve years
later, the world laughed at Daguerres first announce
ment that he could fix shadow and render it as i'm.
pershable as substance. Even Morse's telegraph was
regarded by thousands a myth, until the first line
was put up in 1874 Now vaccination is universal
daguerrotypes common as wOodcuts, and talk
by telegraph with almost much facility as across
friends table.
Such is necessarily the progress of grand discovery
invention in age like ours and of this irresistible
onward movement of the useful and benetcent in prac
cal science, we have still more striking example in the
worldwide popularity of Holloway's great remedies-
If we mistake not they are scarcely older as inven
ton than the photograph and the electric telegraph and
yet they are familiar to half the human race. The dis
coveres of Daguerre and Morse have not been applied
throughout the whole of civilization but barba
rian and sembarbarian races upon whom the light of
Christianity has not yet dawned have experienced the
benefits of these preparations.
When they first introduced to public notice
through the columns of the English press about twenty
years ago, some of the medical magnates of the day
scoed at them their prototypes of the days of Jenne
and Harvey scoed at vaccination and the theory of the
circulation Of the blood. But how is it now? The
of Holloway has been rendered ilustrious by the
spontaneous testimony of countless multitudes. The
voice of skepcism has been hushed and the specOus
arguments of professional dogmatsts cOnounded by the
introduction of his Pills and Ointment into the medical
Institutions of the most enlightened nations
There may possibly be here and there logged dis
cipin aran of the old school, who won see what is pat
ent to the whole world-some fossil specimen of by
gone age of medical bgotry, who closes bis to the
great TACT that Holloways vegetable remedies dis
placing and superseding the mineral poisons once con-
sidered all in all but such instances of confirmed and
hopeless old fogyism fortunately few and far be-
tween. They will probably be remembered when Hol
loway is forgOtten-and not till then

WoN'r STAY DEAD.-Not long since, our neighbors
of the Herald announced with much sOemnity the death
of Mr. ISAAC POTTER accompanying said announcement
with some really instructive reflections showing the dan
ger of indulgng in strong drink" The obituary of
the defunct POTTER went the rounds, and although we
did not copy it, supposed that it must be So PoT-
TER was dead-such was the general opinion and no
body having seen him. he already spoken of as the
late ISAAC Potter, decd.
Yesterday morning the dead man made bis appearance
herevey as cricket absolutely ignoring his
refusing to be deadpersistng in an obstinate vitality
and wondering, naturally enough how the deuce any
body had come to think say he was dead The best
medical authorities have been consulted and they pro-
nounce it the most remarkable of resurrection with
aggravatng circumstances that they have ever seen or
heard Of ISAAC POTTER, and not his ghost, is about
large as life.
We are afraid the feelings Of neghborS were i'm
posed upon and they were made to SIZED those tears for
the living that were only due to the dead.

NORTHEASTERN RAILROAD.-We are pleased to notice
the condition OF this road While at the depot at this

new freight engine called the Harkaway which
making its first trip on the road Attached to it was
the longest train of that have this
road. They were all loaded with freight. Judging from
appearances the road must be doing good business
We see considerable quantity of cotton going to The
depot and understand that the receipts so far show
large increase of bales last year up to this time
Much of the travel and freight that in former days went
to Charleston the South Carolina Railroad from
Clarendon, Sumter and Darlington Districts, is now
carried this road it being the cheapest and most ex
peditious route.
The Northeastern Railroad must eventually become
one of great Importance When the Charleston SaVan
nah Road is added on at end and the Cheraw and
Coal Fields Road at the other making an inseparabe
Georgia. with the other roads that nersec it, the i'm
portance of road and the business accruing to it, will
render the road very profitable to the stockholders.
We cannot close these remarks without saying word
in commendation of the Gen. Superintendent this road
We have known Mr. Solomons for the last four years
He was officer the Wilmington and Manchester
road at the time made his acquaintance No officer
that road held in higher esteem both account
OF his skill as scientific engineer and for his general
department as refined gentleman. We remember that
bis withdrawal from that road the officers aud en-
poyees presented him with costly silver pitcher or COB
let, with suitable inscriptions, testimonial CT Their
appreciation of his services and conduct while among
them.
The best criterion by which to judge of the fitness OF
man for any station he occupies is the fact that he
retains it with the sanction and consent of competent
judges of his capabilities Star.
