ened a dissolution Of the Union, Presi-
dent Jackson called Gen Scott into his
counsel The General inquired: "Mr
President, what are your instructions. !"
Jackson promptly answered: General,
your views on the subject are my in
structions-go and execute them. -
Upon this direction General Scott or
dered eight hundred men to Fort Moul-
trie, and that place was never attacked,
and secession was at an end.

VEGETABLE
PainKiler.

WE BEG To CALL TIE ATTENTION OF THE
PUBLIC TO THIS LONG TESTED AND UNRI-
VAILED
Family Medicine.
The Pain Killer is purely vegetable compound,
and while il is most efficient Remedy for Pain, it is
perfectly SAFE medicine even III the most unSkliful
hands.
For Summer Complaint,
or any other form of Bowel Disease in Children OF
Adults, it is almost a certain cure and has WITHOUT
doubt been more successful in curing the various
kinds of
Cholera
than any other known remedy; or even the most
skilful physician. In india Africa and China,
where this dreadful disease is less prey
aleat, the
-. PAIN KILLER,
is considered by the natives, ;s well by European
residents, in those climates,
A Sure Remedy.
Asa Tonic for the Stomach, it is unrivalled
few doses will relieve severe cases of
Indigestion,
and 1t is often perfect cure for
Dyspepsia
in its most aggravated forms. It's tonic and stimula
tton, render it most efectual cure for
Colds and Coughs,
when used according to directions.
For external application it is unsurpassed by any
medical preparation known.
HSheslInatiSm,
and Neuralgia Affections quickly relieved al
often cured by it. Any soreness in the Muscles or
Joints can be relieved by Its application. 1t cures
instantly the most violent
TOOthache.
1t should always be kept near at hand, to be used
in cases of severe
Burns o. Sca!dS,
If applied Immediately, according to directions ii
will give ms ant relief and prevent blistering.
1t is peculiarly adapted to the wants of
Steam bO;ltmen,
and others travelling our Western Rivers
PDirections accompany each bottle.
1t has been tested in every variety of climate, and
by almost every nation known to Americans. 1t is
the almost constant companion and inestimabe
friend of the missionary and the traveler-on sea
and land-and no one should travel on our lakes or
rivers without it.

are now ready to receive proposals for

ABOLITIONISM IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
From the following proceedings of the
South Carolina Senate, it appears that
the spirit of Abolitionism is rife in that
body:
The tax bill to raise supplies for the
present fiscal year was amended in seve-
eral important particulars.
Mr.. McAiley moved to lay a tax of
one-tenth of one per cent. on all moneys
invested in the stocks or bonds of all
States or companies except those of the
State of South Carolina.
Mr.. McAiley then moved to insert the
word Interest" so as TO read ''tax on
all moneys loaned at interest,"
Mr.. Mazyck thought this would in
volve bad debts, and man would not
only be taken for the money he has out,
but it would be tax upon bad debts.
Mr.. McAiley-Yes, but do not plant
ers pay tax on bad lands, worthless ne
groes, &c. | have negroes and lands not
worth anything, but [ have to pay taxes
on them. These men who hold bonds
and stocks are not the right kind 1 am
for taxing them. [ knew one man who
did not pay FIVE dollars tax to the State,
yet died pos ssessed Of thousands. 1t is a
true saying, that men who possess untax-
able property are very bad citizens
They will not fight, If they own land
and negroes they are bound to fight
M. Palmer-I have forborne to say
anything on this, because feel it deeply.
The planters arc taxed On everything.
Yet these men who own stocks, and do
not own negroes, told ther arms in secu-
rity free from taxes. l conceive, with
the gentleman, that men who own no
taxable property are bad citizens. II
Hale or Gidlings 'cere to come Acrt md
pGss such lars as the Senate proposes u,,B
ioouid dc ridden ont Of tie HaU on q rail
The planters have submitted too long
Is it right that men who own negroes
the very subject upon which the present
difficulties arise-should be subject to
all the onus of taxation? II is cncour-
dgemem Of Abofition sentiment IN this
State, and [ object to any division in
taxes, and [ do not see how planters
come here and sit so quietly and suffer
themselves to be taxed to this extent
without protesting against it. Ny feel
inss do not allow me to say more on this
matter
Inasmuch as this bill did not pass,
we must infer that the Abolitionists have
majority in that body.
The following proposition was also
brought up the same day:
A motion to strike out 81, 900 and in
sert So 900 as the annual fund for the
support of the poor of Charleston, was
opposed by Mr.. Allen, who said:
The transient poor Of this city are va
grants. They come here and stay till
they are fed, and then go elsewhere
The city has no right to care for va
grants. Many of them are foreigners.
They stay here to vote; wash their faces
