DIR. Bakers Pain Panacea has cured Dys-
pepsia of long standing, when all other RENE
dies had failed.
1t has also cured rheumatism of fifteen
years standing.
Also chronic diarrhGa.
For collie pains of children there is nothing

are backed mp by proof
DIR. Bakers Pain Panacea, not only cures
pains external, but internal, however distress
ing or of long standing For the cure of cramp
in the stomach and bowels il has no equal. 1t
acts like magic in restoring the circulation and
producing perspiration. 1t should be carried
by every field hand in hot weather to coun-

1t is understood that the specula-
tors in gold are keeping the present
high prices up by creating the belief
that the Government will have to 90
into market to buy gold to pay the
next instalment of interest Of the pub.

unwarranted. The Government has
bought no gold for the past six months,
and DOW has plenty on hand to pay

Naval Fight at Charleston.

The Northern people were greatly
excited last week on account of rebel
reports from Charleston that the block
ade bad been raised. The Richmond
Despatch announced that two iron clad
gunboats, the Chickory and the Pal
mctto State, accompanied by three
small steamers, all under the command
Of Commodore 1ngraham, made an at
tack on the blockaders and succeeded
in sinking two and Gripping third.
The engagement commenced at four
o'clock. The Palmetto State, with
Commodore Ingraham aboard, opened
fire upon the Federal gunboat Mercc-
dita, carrying eleven guns and l5s
men which was soon sunk in Eve faith
oms water. .-
They also claim to have sunk one
other vessel, set fire to two or three
more, and dispersed the whole of our
blockading feet. Immediately upon
the return of the gunboats to the
wharf, the rebel commanders Beaure-
gard and lngraham issued thesfollow-
ing proclamation: n
CHARLESTON, S. G., Jan 81.
At about five o'clock this morning
tho CnpEaIorot,, Ctat.,c oovo1 c,.,,o
of this station attacked the United
States blockading feet off the harbor
Of the city of Charleston, and sank,
dispersed, or drove off, out of sight
for the time, the entire hostile fleet.
Therefore, we, the undersigned COM
mandcrs respectfully of the Confeder
ate States naval and land forces in
this quarter, do hereby formally de-
clare the blockade by the United
States, of the said city of Charleston,
S. O., to be raised by superior force
Of the Confederate States, from and
after the 3lst day of January, A. ID.
1868. u.
A later report however states that
the next day twenty blockaders were
visible from Charleston Port, they do
not now consider the blockade bro
ken probably.
Late dispatches from Washington
say the whole story about the Char.
lesion business begins to look fishy.
The Richmond Wing of the LIST inst ;,
says not word about it, though the
Richmond Dispatch Of the day before
contains the dispatches which have
made such a sensation. The reports
in regard to the encounter off Charles.
ton being from rebel sources are doubt
less exaggerated. There has been no
interruption of the blockade and such
assumptions will not be admitted by
the Government. p.

Shall the South Secede |?

Dudll tuU DUuu GCVCuC
We often hear the remark, that the
North had better let the South go,
and thus end the war. This remark
is sometimes made by good loyal cit
izens--but oftener by sccesh sympa-
thizers, baters of the Administration
and the Republican party. Do these
persons speak after due reflection
and consideration Have they looked
into the future to see whether peace
can be maintained, even If declared,
with the independence of the Southern
Confederacy acknowledged Where
is to be tho dividing line !? Shall Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ma
ryland and Delaware belong TO the
Northern or Southern Confederacy ?

Southern Confederacy extend west of
the Mississippi river, and how far
west and if 90, will the Northwest
crn States consent to restriction up

artery Of commerce
1t appears that every discerning
person must come to the conclusion
that a separation Of the States on any
line and upon any terms conceivable
cannot be had without bringing upon
the citizens Of both governments nm
told and interminable evils, and that
we had better fight on and fight ever,
until the integrity of the rAole Union
is established and the authority of the
Government at Washington becomes
the ono supreme authority over the
whole land.
We arrive at this conclusion, even
in taking the more sordid and selfish
view of the question as it relates to
The industrial pursuits and commercial
interests. But when the spirit of pat
riotism is allowed to raise her voice.
