FrIL OF HopE.-Gov. Watts, I

Alabama, in his annual message, says:
"What if fleet of iron-clads were sudden

Charleston, recapture New Orleans, ascend

phis, repsssess those places, and finally threat
en- New York ITSELF Would not these things
strike terror and amazement to the Yankee

There is certain grandeur in such sub
lime confidence. What if a feet of oyster
boats were suddenly to make their appear.
anee at Wilmington and Savannah, capture
Charleston, go ''sersss the country to Mont
gomery and Atlanta, take those places and

as lively an imagination as vour own.

Do not use the Drops when forbidden in
the directions, for although positive cure,
and harmless at all other times, they are so

govern the functions of the sexual organism,

produce results contrary to nature, against
