Editor of Spirit Of Democracy:
In reply to mary letters and inquiries from
people in this section of the country, the nm
dersign ed take great pleasure in saying
through the columns of your paper, that our
renowned prep aration known as C0E'S DYS-
PEPSIA CURE, is a certain cure for Dys-
pepsia, in its worst stages. Many cures of
long standing within onr own acauaintanc,
have been completely, aud we believe perma-
nently cured, II will stop distress after
eating almost simultaneously, and enables
the dyspeptic wha has lived for years upon
Graham bread and the plainest diet, to eat
as heartily as heartily as he pleases, and any
thing he chooses without danger of distress,
or souring, or rising on the stomach. 1t is
an infallible eorrector of indigestion and con-
stipation, creates healthy appetite, stops
! sick headache, heart hnrn, sickness at the
stomach, pains, cramps, or colo in either
stomach or bowels, and sweetens offensive
breath as soon as you take it, aud by enab
ling the patient to take plenty ofrhearty food
(which is the parent Of health" produces
vigor, strength and energy. In every trial
we have known IL has speedily ezadicated
Dyspepsia with all its attendant suferings,
weaknesses, debility, and loss ofpower giving
instead, a proper activity and tone to the
stomach and organs of digestion, and as we
confidently believe, aud as the published GER
tifcates in our circulars. almanacs, and in
many of the leading Journals. from conval-
escent patients wilIcoNPfRM. completely, per-
manently, and almost miraculously "cure the
worst case of Dyspepsia in existence" We
warrant it in every Instances. It scan be OBJ

After the 4th Of March next, the Fede-
raj as well as the Confederate Govern
ment will bath be entirely in Southern
hands. Having found q Southern-born
man work SO we'll as President, they took
another in the person of Andy johnson
for Vice. Poor old Hannibal Hamlin
had to return to New England. 1t seems
the destiny of the North always to be
governed by Southern men. Few men
of Northern origin would have had the
firmness to "put the foot down firmly"
like Lincoln and take a "big job" like
this war on their shoulders. The opera
ton has nearly ruined the United States,
and now that double team o: the same
breed is about to be put on the machine,
we look for total wreck in the next
four years. We take natural pride in
the fact that the South is equally great
in creation and destruction. She can
produce Washington to build up the
greatest Of Republics in the shortest
time, and Lincoln, who can knock il
down in a good deal less time than II
took to build it up.

Perhaps no idea has had more 'nfia-

that the interests Of the North are vitaAy

Of the old Government
If there ever was time when the
FIRST of these propositions. was true that
time has gone by forever. Have not these

that slave labor was essential to'the cult

From SOUTH CAROLINA.-The Charles
ton Courier of the 9Th instant has the
following intelligence about the move
mcnts of the enemy in the interior. Of
South CAROLINE: ~@
"On Friday afternoon the enemy
crossed the Salkehatchie between BrOx.
toms and Rivers bridges, also above the
river bridge, completely outfianking our
forces, and compelling them to retire on
Branchville. A sharp fight, lasting Sc
veral hours, took place at Rivers bridge.
General Wheeler kept the ehemy in
check, and made considerable havoc
among them in the fight. We have no
details or particulars as to the respective
losses on either side, but that of the
enemy is known to have been heavy.
"Our troops fell back to the second
line of deiences. The enemy, at latest
accounts Sunday evening", had not
crossed Rivers bridge. The report that
the Seventeenth army corps were at
Barnwcll Cosrthous. on Sunday, with
large force Of cavalry, was discredited in
military circles last evening. The general
impression, however, was that they
would make an effort to gain the road
some time during the night Up to a
late hour the wires were working
through to Augusta, and communication
remained unbroken. ss
Heavy cannonading was reported by
passengers to have been heard all day in
the direction Of Bamberg. A number of
prisoners were brought in Saturday and
Sunday. They report that Sherman
would make an attempt to cut the road
at Midway. Passengers to Augusta re-
port that Sherman was advancing on
Branchville in two columns, with about
forty thousand men. ra ~.

barges landed a number Of troops on

WEDNESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY Is, 1865.
GENERAL LEES LAST APPEAL

We invoke all good citizens, wherever
it is in their power, to place before de-
serters and absentees from the army the
last appeal that General Lee will ever
make to them, to return to their duty
and resume their place under the flag
1t will be seen that full and free par
don is now offered to all who will come
back within the specified time, but that
thenceforth no pardons will be granted
either to those who refuse the present
offer or to those who are hereafter guilty
Of desertion. We are sure that General
Lee must deeply deplore the necessity
Of such a determination. No man has
kinder and more benevolent heart; no
official. civil or military, has more no.
nest and profound sympathy with the
private soldier. He feels their suffer
ing as his own; and they arc we'll aware
of the fact. Indeed, his tenderness to
those under his command has been re-
garded by some as the only defect in his
military character. For our part, we
honor him for it, but when such a man
feels the necessity Of proclaimipg that,
if the present offer of Executive clemen-
cy is not regarded, there will be no more
pardons hereafter, we feel assured that
he means all that he says, and that he
will be as intlexible in the execution of
his duty as he is humane and merciful in
seeking to avoid the terrible necessity.
We therefore earnestly entrcat all the
class whom he addresses to avail them
selves Of this last offer Of pardon, and
to return to the standards which they
once illustrated by their valor, and
to.the comrades who are ready to vel
come them once more to their side. The
most discontented must. now see that
Lincoln is only aiming at the complete
subjugation and ruin Of their native
land; at the elevation of the negro to
an equality with themselves, and COM
pelling them to fight longer and more
dreadful wars against France and Eng
land than they will ever be called upon
to fight under the Confederate flag No
one prctends to deny or to doubt; no
Yankee hcsitatos to ayow that, as soon as
the United States succeeds in putting
down 1.-The rebellion" it will drive
France from Mexico and England from
Canada. The troops for that purpose
will be drawn FROM the conquered South;
and unless the deserters expect to pass
their lives in successful escape from
military duty, they will be forced into
the front of this battle. Their only hope
as individuals is that of their country;
in triumphant resistance to Northern
despotisn. There is no safety for any
man except in. the path of duty
We invoke the deserters and absen-
tees to listen to their beloved COM
msnder, and hasten to retrieve their
own honor and the flag of their country.
Let them come back at.once, and, with
the blessing of God, our independence is
secured. &c.,.
