FOR THE RAPID CURE OF

ton, and for the relief of COnsumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the

So wide is the field Of its usefulness and 40 nu-
merOus are the cases of its cures that almost
every section Of country abounds in persons pub
Hcly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases Of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over eyerV
other medicine Of its kind is too apparent to eseano
observation, and where its virtues are known, tho
public no longer hesitate what antidote TO employ
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duoed cures too numerous and too remarkable TO
be forgotten.

Washington that the army Of the Poto-
mac has received the Presidents con.
ditional emancipation proclamation with
the utmost unanimity and enthusiasm.
Gen. McClellan has given his opinion
aad assurance on this subject, and the
government is strongly fortified in the
bold position the president has taken by

COUNTY TICKET.
For REPRESENTATIVE.
COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Republican County Convention
assembled at the Court House last Sa-
turday afternoon and was organized BY
placing Mr. Sampson Strong in the
Chair, Mr.. 7 L. Downs acting as Score
tarv
The representation from the different
towns was not as large rs desirable yet
number were represented. Everything
passed off very tremendously which is
most always the case in the absence OF
clog rolling
Mr.. David D. Appelgate is our can
didgte for Clerk of the District Court.
He has filled that Office in this County
almost from time immcmorial, and his
nomination made upon first ballot, is a
much stronger mead Of praise in his be-
half than anything that could flow from
our pen. Every one in the county
knows David = they know him we'll,
know that he has long been Clerk,
and VIII be anstker two years. If cot
| two doIeM of them- Mr.. Z. A. Graham,
is the nominee for County Judge. Mr..
T. F. Bradford the present incumbent
declined being nominated for that Office
on account OF the small remuneration
and no enc, to the knowledge Of the
convention, seemed to d sre or ask fol-
the nomination. The Legislature has
made the emoluments SO meagrc and
| disproportionate to the amount Of labor
required to AL that Office, that it may
now really be said to go begging in the
market. The conventional however settled
upon Mr.. Graham, as their choice, and
as the man who would be most likely to
accept it in connection with his other
business. lie is amply qualified to FIJI
the Office and undoubtedly will do so in
a very satisfactory manner. He is also
very weR and favorably known through.
out our County, being one Of the Oldest
residents.
Mr.. W. r. Johnston our candidate
for Representative is also quite extern
sively acquainted with our people, being
one Of the proprietors Of the Peoples
| Store. He is man Of good abilities,
quick discernment, careful, considerate,
steady and businessiike in his habits,
and will represent US well in the Legis.
laturc Of our State. We are satisfied
his nomination meets with general ap
provai and his election we regard as a
certainty.
Rev. I. J. Wilkins our present Coro.
ner is chosen as our candidate for re.
election. We are glad to say that this
Office is but little used, yet when called
into use, its duties are very important
and the Elder, we believe amply quail.
| fed to fill them to the letter.
Now we want our Republican friends
and all those who are invited in the re.
solutions to come to the polls on cleo
ton day and see that these candidates
are elected.

former were encamped near Shirley's
Ford, on Spring river, ten miles north
west OF Carthage, Mo.
The rebels came apon our forces
about ten O'Clock in the morning, TAX
ing them almost entirely by surprise
The pickets were driven in, and che re-
fugee Indians, numbering shout one
thousand, were thrown into great ex.
element. About two hundred Of them
were rallied, and after fifteen ortwenty
minutes hard fighting drove the enemy
from = heavy timbered position
The enemy then formed in 4raNine,
and three companies Of Cherokees and
Osages, under Captain G. Rcraper. m
Indian, were sent out to engage thon.
He disposed ofhis force 50 a. 70 attack
them on three points, and for the sac

The rebels were then out.fanked Thy
Major Wright, Of the Indian regiment,

attacked simultaneously in front and
