FAITHFUL MINISTER'S or HEALrH.-In exam
lining the vessels at the various wharvcs We
find among the curiosities of our commerce
the brig Miranda, just in from TruAillo with a
cargo of Honduras Sarsaparilla for DR.. j. G..
Aver 8. Co., of Lowell. So particular are this
firm as to the articles used in compounding
their various remedies, that they have this
drug, like some others they consume, gather
ed for them by skilful agent of their own in
the tropical regions of its growth. He in
forms us that there are many species OF this
plant, but two of which are really valuable in
medicine the qualities of these are also afec
ted by the time of gathering, mode Of curing,
etc., operations which in that region of unreli-
able workmen imposes a heavy labor upon
him. One OF the inert varieties of Sarsaparilla
grows wild in our own forests, while several
others, nearly worthless, abound in Central
and South America. The Intelligent agent
assured us that the virtues of this drug had
never been fully told, and that the reason Of
the low esteem in which many hold it is MAIN
ly due to the importation of such immense
quantities of the worthless varieties. His ac-
counts of his trips to Honduras and his
business excursions along the Gulf of Du.ce
and the rivers of Montagur and Santiago and
among the adjacent mountain were OF intense
interest. We but commend and honor his
employers for faithfulness and energy with
which they execute their trust as ministers TO
the public health, and we suspect that this
course is 1T least one of the reasons why their
edicines are held in such extraordinary ia
vor throught the civilized world.-Neu York

VALUABLE Posr OvYIcEs.-The Augusta
(Ga.) Sentinel thinks the determination Of the
Southern Congress to discontinue some OF the
little Post Offices is wise, if not carried too
far. Some of them, il says, are merely Post
Offices in name For instance, We find that
for the year ending September 80. 1859, the
nett proceeds Of each Of i've Offices in Florida
WAS under ten cents. Three Of them received
four cents each, and one Of them three cents.
Certainly those Offices could be Topped OF
without any great harm.

The great drawback to persons emigrating to
the extreme south and western country, is the
fear they have of the Fever and Ague-the most
direful of all diseases. Every day we hear of
persons attacked by this disease, and made help
less in short time, without any means of affor-
ding relief. In view of the great demand fer q
remedy DR. Hostetter has presented his celebrated
stomach btters, whose curative powers for all
knowledged. The Bitters, prepared after a long
experience and deep study, have received the en-
co miums of the most eminent physicians as well
as all classes from every part of our country. To
those who doubt their many virtues, oil we can
say is to try them, and Judge for themselves re-
spectively. Sold by druggists and dealers gener-
ally everywhere. Tsee advertisement in anoth-

"A CASE OF HARDsHIP.-Thc New 7 ork ITi6-
ane of Friday last, contains q statement OF
hardship and cruel outrage perpetrated upon
widow-Catharine Bottsford -of New York,
by the authorities of Charleston, which will
arouse the indignation of every humane per-
son In the community. The statement of the
lady Is, that she left lew York early in De-
cember, 1853, for Charleston. Last Septem-
Der, it being ascertained that she entertained
feelings adverse to slavery, she was arrested
by member of the s.Vigiant Police,'' and
thrust into miserable cell, until it should
please the Mayor to give her hearing. Al
ter being kept there for whole night and
part OF the next day, in company with beggars
and diseased criminals of all kinds, the Mayor
gave her hearing. Her offence was ssAbo-
litionism,' the staple of all South Carolna's
grievances. N one appeared against the Ia
dy, and the Mayor conducted the case with
out the formality of a legal charge. He ad-
mitted her peaceable, quiet and iDoffensive
disposition. and spoke of her good character,
but told her that, being an Abolitionist, she
should give bail in three hundred dollars for
her good behavior until she left the city, or
she must 60 to Jail. She refused to give bail,
and was Immediately sent to cold and gloomy
Jail, to he the companion of criminals ard
murderers. In vain did she protest her inno-
cence Of any crime in vain did she strive to
convince them that she had not even convers-
stood charged, but like culprit she vas ta-
ken through the crowded streets to Jail, to be
punished she knew not when or how. After
being incarcerated for long time, all the
while being subjected to taunt and insult of
all kinds, she wrote to Mayor Wood, detailing
her grievances, and asking for that protec-
tion which, a native New Yorker, she had
a right to claim /; but her letter was answered
by s'Farnando" in vein of biting sarcasm,
all tending TO the impression that the lady was
being served right at Charleston. Release
came at last, however, and the Mayor of
Charleston rery kindly paid Mrs. Bottsford's
passage to New York as deck passenger, in
connection with sixty rough, boOrish laboring
men, who had gone thithe: in search of work,
but who were not permitted to land on penalty
Of having their throats cut by the meTciful
minute men of Charleston. During the pro-
gress of these outrages upon this unofiending
female, she had been repeatedly told that had
she been Of the other sex, she would have
been tarred and feathered, or hung to the
nearest tree. All hail, South Carolina, the
land of chivalry and honor!
