bined with a Pure Spirit, improved
and perfected by one of our venera-
bic and eminent physicians during a
practice of thirty years, in the latter
part Of which he used those Bite,
Herbs, with unparalleled success, in
the treatment Of internal di iseases and
for purifying the blood
They stimulate and regulate the
functions of digestion; impart vigor
and tone to the stomach; strengthen
the system, and are unequalled as
purifier Of the blood. By continuing
the use ola wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for a
| few weeks, they will afford convin-
cing proofs.of their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence of
their heahh-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment Of a sound body and mind
will soon be attained.
From their purifying influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they will gradually re-
move every trace Of eruption or in

they progress in the puritication ofthe

A POWERFUL ADVANTAGE-STEAM COMMUNICATION
WITH EURoPE-The fact that all communication be-
tween this continent and Europe at the present time is
through Northern ports, gives the Abotonists great
advantage u.s. so far as the sentiments of foreign
nations are concerned The travel abroad is from the
North, and all the newspapers they get the lying
organs of Lincoln, published in the Northern States
The South it will thus be seen, has no showing no op-
portunty for correcting abolition SANDERS and lies and
of vndicating herself in the eyes of Europe Through
out the part statement of affairs is all they
will get and the columns Of the Northern press at the
present time to show upon what sort of basis the
public sentiment OF the world in the struggle is to be
founded.
If possible the Confederate States should take steps
to change this unfortunate condition of affairs. 1t
would pay well in political point of view to guaran-
tee bonus to any line of English steamers that would
consent to regularly between Liverpool and Sa-
vannah or Charleston
The lines to New York and Boston are now doing
next to nothing as mportatons have pretty well ceas-
led; and we have no doubt if our Government would
direct its attention to the subject that would
follow its efforts. Without inducements from the Gov
ernment, the of those lines would find semi
monthly steam communication with the South far more
profitable than with the North for time to come
all our imports will be drawn from the manufacturers
of England and France To them also, this question
addresses itself with peculiar force and it is reasonable
to suppose that they will promptly respond to any
ment in that direction our part.
Our Commissioners in Europe should be instructed to
give their immediate attention to this subject IF prop
ery managed we have doubt of its entire success

R9g~ We learn that Captain Savage's Company of
State troops enlisted here and Captain Sykes Company
enlisted in Bladen, left this morning for Garysburg
where their Regiment (Col. MearesO will rendezvous
and be organized Both Companies are full Captain
Savages Company is fully"uniformed and equipped
1t is probable that the regiment such portion of it
may be ready will be sent to Virginia at an early day
We have little doubt of the fact that different course
of policy will soon be entered upon by the Confederate
authorities The game of invasion and attack is one
that two sides play at Messrs Scott and Lincoln
will not be allowed to threaten Virgnians, and occupy
Virginia soil without having practical and convincing
proof that they, too, are mortal, and vulnerable
Captain Savage desires to acknowledge the liberia
manner in which the County Committee came forward
and refunded to him the amount disbursed by him IL
furnishing necessary outfits and provisions for the Com
pany.
This company has room for ten OF twelve more gooc
men, Any such desiring to enlist do so by apply
ing to A. H. VanBokkelen, who will have them for
warded to the company headquarters.
Yesterday afternoon flag presented to the com
pany by VIM. A. Williams, Esq on behalf of himsel
and others, and received in fitting terms by Captain
Savage.
We will give list of the names of officers and mem
bers OF the Company on Monday.
