DR. RICHARD DnLARD.-We regret that DR.. Dill.

character to decline being candidate for re election
to the Senate from Gates and Chowan. DR.. D. has
acquitted himself ably and faithfully in his capacity
as Senator. Addressing the voters of the District,
in Card published in the Murfreesboro' Citizen he
says:

find my spoken of in that connection. In order
that my position may not be liable to misconstruc-
tion beg leave TO state the fact publicly that un
der no circumstances, now known to me, can be
candidate for reelection in the ensuing canvass
To this conclusion L have been most unwillingy
forced by reasons of personal character though of
paramount importance. Fgn

~ We return our thanks to w. L. Pomeroy
for the new work just arrived, by Geo. Eliot" The
Mill on the Floss" The true name of the writer,
we are told, is Miss Evans, of Lond n, author of
"Scenes of Clerical Life" "Adam Bede." We
have cursorily examined it, and think it quite as
good as Adam Bede." 1t is surely strange coin
cedence in the literary world thata couple of young
women, one of England, the other of America, of
the selfsame name, and, judging from productions,
similar in character of the sefsame nature should
at and the time be writing for fame, funds
and fancy and should so far excel all other Compel
itors of the angelic scrbbng category to ;llumi
nate the heavens as twin stars, compeers alone to
their own bright scintillations. Miss Evans, of Mo-
bile, though not SO long on the list, has shown by
her Beulah" such mastery of the language, heart
and humanity, as to leave competitor the con-
tlnent with whom she need dread to enter the field
of letters. What stranger constrasts could be pre-
scented than this exhibition of two young and de-
licate women of America and Britain, by their
strength of mind and goodness of heart enlighten-
ing and entertaining the world zr-s~

GEORGIA AND ALABAMA. The way the Dcmoc-

Montgomer Confederation is a terror to the dis
ruptionists. The Columbus Times, heretofore one
of the most extreme journals of the State and able
and influential with ALL comes out for the National
Democratic organization and Baltimore Convention
in one of the most pthy and sensible articles that
we have read for long time. Hon. H. V. johnson,
Judge Nesbitt Hon. A. r. Wright, and Hon. Robt
Mcmillan are all out for the Baltimore Convention
and the National Democracy. We believe that every
Democratic paper in Georgia, except one, has taken
the same view. The disruptIonists are doomed to a
perfect Waterloo in the Empire State of the South
Alabama will not be far in the rear; and by election
day in November she will be ready to roll up her
accustomed old majority for the nominees of the Ma
tional Democratic Convention. The car of the peo-
pies opinion will roll and crush the disunion-
lists in Alabama in a manner that will give peace
and tranquility to the country for long time to

Ehe PERSIAN Fever CEurm.
For the prevention and cure Of Fever
and Ague and Bilious Fevers This won
derful remedy was brought TO the knowl-
edge of the present proprietors by friend
who has been a great traveller IN Persia
and the Holy Land.
While going down the river Euphrates,
he experienced a severe attack OF Fever
and A-ae. On discovering his condition
one of the boatmen took from his person an
Amulet, saying, "W ear this aud no fever
will touch you" Although incredulous
to its virtues, he complied aud expe-
riepced immediate relief, and has 81 nee al
ways found it an effectual protection from
all malsIious complaints.
On fri g Investigation he found that
the bOatman attributed to it miraculous
powers, and said that 1t could only be 0b-
tanned from the Priests of she sun Some
time afterwards the gentleman IN cOnyers-
ing with a Priest, obtained from him the
secret of its preparation, and ascertalned
where the medicinal herbs were found, OF
which it was compounded. The wonder
lul virtues of this article have induced a
full belief in the minds Of the natives OF
the miraculous healing powers of THEN
Priests.
Since his return 10 America, It has been
trIed with the napPiest effect by several
ladies and gentlemen of high character
who have given it the most unqualified
praise. This remedy having been a spe-
cIfic in Persia for hundreds of years, iol
the prevention and cure Of Fever and
Ague aud Bilious Fevers-is now offered
to the American people.
1t will be sent by mail, prepaid viii
