contamination is variously caused by mercnrid
disease, low living, disordercd digestion from
unhealthy food impure air, filth and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the venercal infection. Whatever be its origin.
II Is hereditary in tho constitution, descending
"from parents to children unto the third and
fourth generation !" indeed, 1t seems to be the
rod of Him who says, will visit the iniqui
ties 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 tubcrcles, and finally
Consumption in the glands, sweings which
suppurate and become ulcerous sores in the
stomach and bowels, arrangements which pro-
duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver COM
plants; on the skin, eruptive and cutancous
affections. These all having the same origin,
require tho same remedy, viz. publication and
invrigoration Of the blood. Purify the blood.
and these dangerous distempers leave YOU.
With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cam
not have health with that " life Of the flesh "
healthy you cannot have scrofulous disease.

AYERS Sarsaparilla

Is compounded from tho most effcctual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distcmper, 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 1t trial That it does COM
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is indisputably
proven by tho 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-s
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
Syphiiitic 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 bc
learned the directions for its use, and some Of
the remarkable cures which it has mad0 whom
all other remedies had failed to afford relief
Those cases are purposely taken from all seq
tons of the country, in order that every reader
may have access 10 some one who can speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula dcpresses the vita sspergies. and thus
leaves its victims far nor ject to disease
and its fatal results than N healthy constitu-
tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten the average duration of human
life. The vast importance Of these considera-
tions 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

PRESIDENT DAv1s.-A correspondent
of the Atlanta ConJsderacy, sends the fol-
lowing chapter in the history of this dis
tinguished official. A little incident some
times illustrates the character Of an individ-
ual as we'll as biographical volumes: .
While Jefferson Davis was Senator in
the Congress of the U. S., be and Judge
Perkins, of Mississippi, canvassed that State
in behalf of the claims of Mr.. Breckenridge
for the Presidency. On one occasion, after
speaking for hours to a large audience, these
gentlemen were returning in abuggy to the
residence of Judge P, when on the road
they came upon couple of wagons stand
ing in the way, and near by one negro man
standing over another who seemed to be in
great pain. On inquiring it, was found that
one of the negroes bad broken his leg. Mr..
Davis Immediately proposed to Judge P.
that if he would drive the boy to the planta-
ton of his owner, ten miles distant, he (Mr.
Davis) would walk on to the house of Judge
p, which was four miles. This was agreed
to, and Judge Perkins taking the boy in
his buggy, drove him home, whilst Senator
Davis footed it four miles to Judge P's.-
That negro mans name was Wyatt, and he
belonged to Gov. R. L. Caruthers, of. Ten
nessee. Wyatt says President Davis is a
clever and good man, and be does not like
any one, white or black, who speaks i'll Of
him; and that his earnest prayers are that
he may succeed in all his undertakings. /
wonder if President Lincoln, Wilson, Of
Massachusetts, or any Of the negro stealers
North, would do as much for their "Ameri'
can fellow citizens of African descent"

INDIA COTTON.

From the Calcutta (Iudia) Gazette, Of
September 23d, we learn that the cotton
cropof India for 1862, was very short
one, In the Sanger, Jubbulpore and Nag
pore divisions, the area of land under cul.
tiyation was 62s, 900 acres; and the actual
out.turl of clean cotton was about 81 ,00O,-
coo pounds, or nearly go pounds Of cleah
cotton to the acre. The Gazette then gives
che particulars Of the yield of 3 good sea:
SOD, showing that only 80 pounds of clean
eosten can be realized froman acre in agood
season. In these Southern States, 250 to
800 pounds of clean cotton per acre is con-
sidered . very moderate yield. From In
dia cotton We have nothing to fear in "the
good time coming"

SHoEMAKINa IN THE ARMY.-A CORES.
pendent of the Richmond Dispatch, wri.
ting from the:army of Northern Virginia,
Says:
"In my last I made some mention of the
shoe shop established by Brig. General
Malone IN his brigade. Since that writing
I have paid a visit to it and found it most
complete in all its appointments. He has
it so arranged that there is one room for cut
ting out work, another for binding it to-
gether, and another for putting on the soles
He has also repairing shop, in which not
less than 500 shoes have been renovated
since its establishment, and made service
able-every pair of which had. been cast a.
way but for this shop. The General makes
his own avis, hammers, pegs and lasts, and
captured the hides from the Yankees which
he has thus far used in the manufacture of
shoes. I am told every brigade in the ar
my might organize shop for repairing
shoes at an outlay Of $500, and the capacity
of half wagon for transportation when the
army is in motion. Ought not every brig
ade to have one of these shoe shops for re-
pairs?

SERVED EN- RIaHT.-The Petersburg
Erpress has learned that sundry individuals
who fed from Petersburg to avoid service
in the army, and made their way through
our lines to Norfolk, have gained nothing
by the change. In fact, they have jumped
from the "frying pan into the fire." for it is
stated that Butler has ordered every man
who arrives under such circumstances, to
be arrested and placed in the camps Of in
struction at Newport News, preparatory to
a full entrance into the Yankee army.

Of those directly concerned. Many have
