THE oxysENATED B1rrERs,

The qualities of this medicine have placed it
upon an imperishable foundation. In destroying
disease, and inducing health, it has no parallel.
For the following complaints these Bittsrs are
a Specific, viz: Dyspepsia. or indigestion, Heart
Burn, Acidity, Costiveness, Loss Of appetite,
Headache, and General Debility.
In many sections of our country this prepare
ton is extensively used by physicians IN their
practice, and it seems to, have restored many to
health who were apparently beyond the reach Of
the healing art. ., ,

tainted with the heresy of secession. "The
Winnsboro' Register and Herald contains a very
touching tribute to Miss Emma Desportes,
daughter of Mr.. A. Desportes, proprietor of the
Reqister and Herald. The tribute is from her
young companions at school, and from Mrs. Laid,

gent, beautiful and affectionate, the pet and
pride of father and family. "..".The number of

States numbered %, 19l 1916 by the census of
1850, and the estimates of the present census,
now in progress, range from 80 to 33 millions.

The exceedingly small quantity Of this medicine
required to test the existence Of worms, and to

in which they are engendered from the system,

by a single dose, together with its certainty Of

The euterprising spirit of the Yankee, hi

subservieuce to the motto, ''pste primum pecunias'
coupled with the extent and density of Northern
population, and the central position Of Northern
ports, especially New York, and the widely ram
flied arteries of trade and travel intersecting the
country in every direction from that point, have
given the North o commercial and mercantile
monopoly which threatens to demoralize the
South and complete her degradation. All over
the South the cry has gone up, we can buy goods
cheaper in New York, and thither will we CO.
Cheaper! Money first; liberty and life after
wards-patriotism and virtue 1t Is
a positive, an eternal shame. Will we sell our
birth-right for a mess of pottage? Have we nc
desire to increase the power Of our own section,
and thus secure greater facilities for even ma
king money to our posterity? 1t may be penny
wise, but it is undoubtedly pound-foolish, to
place ourselves uureservedly in the hands Of
Northern c%upidity. To-day we flourish, to-mor-

calico at ten cents per yard to crush down
Charleston; next year when they have no
Charleston to compete with them, they charge
US fifteen cents per yard for the self same calico.
This is the inevitable tendency of markets which
enjoy a monopoly. They grow arrogant and
purse. proud, and demand their own prices. They
tyrannize.
We are glad that the friends of Southern Com
merce may look to the eastward and see the
glorious ~dawning of a brighter day. The Great
Eastern proposes to return forthwith to Hamp-
ton Roads, and take a cargo of $1,000 bales of
cotton, or their equivalent in tobacco, -four,
wheat or corn-with the belief of being able to
make eight voyages annually, at a profit Of L.

sioner of this body to Europe, to further the in
terests of direct trade between them and us of
the South, and makes a highly favorable report
in regard to the success of his mission. Many
manufactures and mercantile houses will be
represented in the approaching Fair of the AS

agents in Europe, we believe, at the present
time. Charleston has imported more extensively.
