fell upon the Iroof of the building, pene'1
trated to the room where the company
we're assembled, burst and wounded nine
persons, and among the rest Miss Anna
Pickens. We cannot describe the scene
that followed. Order was at last re'estaD;
lished, and tho wounded were removed, all
Except the bride, who lay motionless upop,
the CARPET. Her betrothed, kneeliug and
bending over her, was weeping bitterly AND
irving to staunch the blood that welied
from a. terrible wound under her lett
breast ! A sergeon came and declared that
Miss Pickens had not longer than two
hours to live. We will paint the general
despair. 3 g sIs. n aEt n -.
When the wounded girl recovered her
consci BUSINESS. she asked to know her tate,
and when they hesitated to tell her-aAn
drew" she said, ~ beg you to tell me the
truth. If must die, can die worthy OF
YOU" The young soldiers tears were his
answer, and Miss Anna, summoning all her
| strength, attempted to smile. Nothing
could be more heart rending than to see
the agony of this brave girl struggling in
the embrace Of death and against terri
BILE mortal pang. Gov. Pickens, whose
courage is known, was almost without con-
| seriousness. and Mrs Pickens looked upon
her child with the dry and haggard eye OF
| one whose reason tott,Is Lieut.. De Ro-

cried, ~ will die soon too, but would
have you die my WIFE, There is yet time
to unite U.s." The young girl did not re.
ply she was too weak. A slight flush rose
for an instant to her pale cheek: it could
be seen that Joy and pain were strugg ling
in her spirit for the mastery. Lying upon
sofa, her bridal dress all stained with
blood, her hair disheveled, she had never
been more beautiful.
Helpless as she was, Lieutenant De 10
'chelIe took her hand and requested the
Rev. Mr.. Dickinson to proceed with the
ceremony. When it was time for the dy-
| ing girl to say yes, her lips parted several
times, but she could not articulate. At
last the word was spoken, and a slight
foam rested upon her lips. The dying ag-
ony was near. The minister sobbed as he
proceeded with the ceremony. An hour
after all was over and the bridal chamber
was the chamber of death. Lieut.. DE Ro
chelle has sworn to perish in battle against
the Yankees, and we are sure that he will
keep his oath. He has now double mo
| tive to hate them and his own existence.
Our entire community share the grief
that afflicts the family Of Governor Pick
eus. The obsequies Of Miss Anna will oc-
cur tomorrow morning at IL o'clock. Gov.
Pickens and Lieut.. De Rochelle will be the
chief mourners. Our Ex-Governor desires
there shall be no military parade. The fu,
neral cortege will be composed of all our
ladies, all our magistrates, all our generals
and the wounded soldiers, many Of whom
owe their lives to the devotion of the de-
ceased Never has woman been followed
to the grave by so many regrets-never has
one left sadder membranes in the hearts
of Charles tonians.

contamination is variously caused by mcrcuriaI
disease, low living, disordercd digestion from
unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending
" from parents TO children unto the third and
fourth generation /" indeed it seems to be the
rod of Him who says, will visit the iniqui-
tics Of the fathers upon their children" The
diseases which it originates take various names,
according to the organs it attacks. In the
lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally
Consumption; in the glands, swellings which
suppurate and become ulccrous sores in the
stomach and bowels, arrangements which pro-
duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver COM
plants; on tho skin, eruptivc and cutaneous
affections. These all having the same origin,
require the same remedy, viz. publication and
invigoration of the blood. Purify the blood,
and these dangerous distcmpcrs leave you.
With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you can
not have health; with that " life of the flesh /"
healthy, you cannot have serofulous disease.

Ayers Sersaparilla

is compounded from the most effcctual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting dstemper, and for the cure Of The
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
who have given it trial. That it does COM
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class Of complaints, is indisputably
proven by the great multitude Of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made Of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tions. Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery-
sipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu-
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series of complaints that arise from impurity
of the blood. Minute reports of individual
cases may be found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some Of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed TO afford relief.
Those cases are purposely taken from all sec
tions of TIE country, in order that every reader
may have access to some one who can speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu-
tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. The vast importance of these considera-
tons has led us to spend years in perfecting
remedy which is adequate to its cure This
we now offer to the public under the name Of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, although it is COM
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best Of SdrspariHa in alternative power. BY
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer-
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge ont
the foul corruptions that rot and foster in the
blood; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func-
tons, and thus cxpels the distempers which
lurk within the system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of Sarsapailla, that promised
much and did nothing but they will peither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. II, virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surprising excellence
for the cure of the affecting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, it is very different medicine from ar
other which has been before the people, and
far more effectual than any other which !
ever been available to them.

THE RFsoLUrIONs.

Resolved, That in the future as in the past, we
will adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union
under the Constitution as the only solid foundation
Of our strength. security and happiness as people,
and as a framework Of government equally c0nduc
i've 70 the welfare and prosperity Of all the States,
both Northern and Southern.
Resotved, That this Convention does explicitly de-
clare the Of the American people, that after
i q see
Of military necessity or war power higher than the
Constitution the Constitution itself has been disre
Sight alike trodden down and the material prosperity
of the country essentially impairedustice, human
ity liberty and the public welfare demand that i'm
with view to an ultimate convention of the States,
or other peaceable means, to the end that at the
Ss eea o Se sate on
Resolued, That the direct interference Of the mil
itary authorities Of the United States in the recent
elections held in Kentucky, Maryland Missouri, and
Delaware, was shameful violation of the Constitu
tion and repetition Of such acts in the approach
ing election will be held as revolutionary and re-
sisted with all the means and power under our con-
troll.
= Resolged, That the aim and object of the Demo-
cratic party is to preserve the Federal Union and the
rights Of the States unimpaired; and they hereby
declare that they consider that the administrative
usurpston Of extrs9rdinary and dsnserqus powers
the civil by military law in States not in insurec-
ton; the arbitrary military arrest, imprisonment,
trial and sentence of American citizens in States
whore civil law exists in full force the suppression
Of freedom Of speech and of the press the denial of
the right of asylum; the open and avOwed disregard
of State rights; the employment Of unusual test
oaths and the interference with and denial Of the
right of the people TO bear arms in their defense is
calculated to prevent restoration Of the Union and
the perpetuation Of government deriving its just
powers from the consent of the governed.
ResolUed, That the shameful disregard of the Ad-
mnstration to its duty, in respect to fellow-citi
zens who are, and long have been, prisoners Of
war in suffering condition, deserves the severest
rcprobation on the score alike Of public policy and
common humanity.
ResoIred. That the sympathy of the Democratic
party is heartily and earnestly extended to the SOL
dery Of our army and sailors of our navy, who are
and have been, in the field and on the sea, under
the flag Of their country and in the event of its at
tanning power. they viii receive all the care, protec
tion and regard that the bravo soldiers and sailors
Of the Republic have SO nobly earned,

DIABETES

disease Of the stomach and liver acting through
the kidneys, and is without doubt, the most obst-
nate disease, except Consumption, that affects the
human constitution. We have no space for discus
sing causes but will state that the effect of the dis
is the conversion Of the starchy principle (or
vegetable portion Of the food) into sugar, which
stimulates the kidneys to an excessive secretion of
water. Many persons suffer from this disease who
are ignorant Of it; that is they pass large quantities
during the day, and obliged to get up from to
fifteen or twenty times during the night No notice
is taken Of it until their attention s called to the
advanced as to be beyond the control Of ordinary
remedies, Another symptom is the great thirst,
which, when the disease is fully established is in
tolerable-the patient drinks constantly aOitlout BE-
ing sattgfed; also dryness of the mouth cracking of
the lips sweet breath, in the moro advances cases,
and finally loss Of appetite, emaciation, and the pa
tient gradually sinks from exhaustion.
CONSTITUTION WATER is, without doubt. the only
known remedy for diabetes, and We have. as much
confidence that it is specific as we have that opium
will produce sleep, and truthfuly say that it has
cured every case in which it has been used.

CONSTITUTION WATER

Has been pronounced by the Medical Faculty and the
public TO be the most wonderful remedy for the per-
manent cure Of all diseases Of the STOMACH, L1v-
ER, KIDNEYS and BLADDER that has ever been
offered. 1.I...
II IS not a MINERAL WATER. It is from expe-
rience that CONSTITUTION WATER has emenat-
ed, and we now say let no man doubt, when single
bottle has been known to cure diseases which the
best medical talent in the country failed to relieve
A remedy possessing the virtues of Constitution
Water cannot be classed under "quack" prepara-
tons as it is now used by the most scientific prac-
ttoners in the city. II is only second-cass physi-
clans that cry down popular remedies, while the bet
ter skilled make use Of every means to accomplish
q cure; and the success Of the physician increases
as his knowledge of different remedies enables him
to produce cure while others fail in the attempt-
Science is satisfied with the truth.
Give Constitution Water q fair trial-we mean you
who are under some SPECIALISTS care from year to
year. and we partic uarly allude TO ladies who are
constantly resOrting TO LOCAL TREATMENT, and all
sorts Of local applications for diseases with as much
chance of success as there would be from local ap
plicatons to the throat for diseases Of the brain.
We have always been careful TO use language in
our circular that could not shock the most delicate
organization, but we receive many communications
from persons for whom Constitution Water is adapt
ed, and Of whose disease no mention has been made
that have come to the conclusion that if the rem
edy is capable Of producing cure, no matter what
the disease may be, it should be made known. The
medicine is put up for the public and there should
be no exceptions.
