DEATH OF MAJ. WM. LAvAL.-We regret
to learn, says the Newbcrry Herald, Of the
death of this distinguished citizen of South
Carolina. He expired at Gre0nyillc, n'the
18th yesr of his age. For meritorious con-
duct in the war Of 1872, he was honoured
With the rank of Major, and during the siege
Of Pensacola received wound which resulted
in the permanent loss Of the use of a limb.
In 1853 he resigned his commission in the ar
my and was elected Secretary OF State. Sircs
that time he. has filled the Office of Treasurer
and Comptroller General almost continually
During the intervals he held positions in, the
Custom House and in the sub Treasury De.
partment.

We are informed, says the Atlanta Intelli.
genecr of the 18th, that brutal murder took
placs near Marietta some days ago, in which
Major Tew wasthe victim. Our informant
saysthat he was returning to his home from
Athens Ca, where, he had been living as q
refugee for some months, and was travelling
with some wagons containing his personal
effects. In his employ were Some negroes,
who are supposed to have committed the
terrible outrage. Maj. Tew had upon his
person about $4,000 in money, for the pos
Session Of which the robber' took his life.
His head vas entirely severed from the body,
aud the remains concealed in ravine. The
unfortunate gentleman was son-in-law of
A. V. Brumby, Esq, of Marietta, and his sad
fato will be mourncd by all who knew him.

REoRsAEIzATIoy OF TIE REGULAR ,ARiy,
The reduction of the volunteer force of the
army continues, and almost every day some
regiment marches down the Avenue or, its
way to the railroad depot, on.its way home.
The regular army, on the other hand, is to
bo largely increased, and a board Of army
officers has the subject now before them, and
it is understood that plan will be presented
to Congress providing for the entire reorgani-
cation of the regular foroe on 4 much larger
scale than has heretofore been Contemplated,
This board will propose, 1 understand, TO have
the army consist of ninety regiments Of In.
fsutry and twenty FIVE regiments Of cavalry,
and to have all tbs volunteer troops disban-
ded. If the army. is organizedip the manner
proposed, with the due proportion of artiIls.
ry, it will require the services Of nearly all
the officers of high rank who have distin.
guished themselves in the late war, and some
of whom arc in command s!of military divis-
ions nnd departments, or are serving in vari-
ous capacities more ornamental than useful
just now. But it will be quite aseflicient' as
any,of the vast armies of, Europe; for it will
be so arranged that ftsca be filed up, on
emergency, to double the numerical strength
which it is proposed. Thus. the regiments
having only 500 men in each; the whole num-
Der. of men enlisted, in the three arms OF the
service, will only be $4,000, which is certsi.-
ly not too large for a permanent peace estab.
lishment. But there being, as designed,
full corps Of staff officers. end systematic
division Of the regiments into .brigades and
divisions, with thu, proper ofacersto each, it
will be easy to increase the rank. and. fle

against them No. But because now that
they are free, we shall become as careless
about them as the Northmen are, and whom
we find it to our interest to employ whites to
perform the menial service they have been
performing, with an, eyeto seK.interest, we
shall not be slow to do it. If pressed back,
it will not be the Southern, but the, Northern
people and Europe that will do it,. They
will leave because the superior and moro en-
ergetic whites will take their places and as
they own no part of tie soil, as soon as they
cannot find employment, they will begin to
disappear. The negro prospered physically
and increased in number as slave but with
this tide of white immigration pressing for
ward as the result of his being freed, we 90
not believe he can now.
Already we hear that the intelligence Oil
ces will be able to furnish white servants for
families who wish them, in North Carolina,
and no doubt by the irst of January ne1tlt
will be as easy to get any kind OF white
"help" that may be desired, in that State,
az in Baltimore or New York. And when
this comes to be the case,' and those people
who have to hire, and find that one Irish OF
German woman can do the labor of two ne
gro women, like the people, of the North
they will give the preference. II tho negro
is driven out as We believe he will be ultl-
mately, it will not,be on account of persecu-
tions by the former owners, but BY the food
Of immigration which had pressed slavery
before it, before the war began, from Massa'
chusetts to Maryland.
If the negro would remain here as an in
ferior, not demand too. :Aucb, and perform
for reasonable compensation the labor the
country must have, he might stay this vol.
ume of immigration to some extent; but If
he listens to tho few fahatics who preach po'
liticsl and social-equality to him, and aspires
to govern, rather, ,tIan be governed, the tide
will press forward and engulph him. Leave,
finally, to make room for the firm tread Of
the white man, we believe he must, but he
may prolong his stay by good behavior and
industry. The same Hnglo-Saxon that-has
pressed him out Of the Northern State is now
applying for that placs he has hitherto occu-
pied here, and unless ho can render his labor
as valuable and his presence rs acceptable to
the owners of the soil as the more energetic
pale-face, he may take up his bed and walk.
g Intelligent negroes will do well to consider
these things.-Lo,iso Commercial.

Advertising is now regarded as the life
and motive power of every business which
depends on public support. The same reason
which induces man to place q sign over his
store or office, teaches Kim the advantage Of
advertising. A card in newspaper, or The
"Diary and Guide" is only multiplication
of his sign, and it is obvious thatif one is aa
advantage, twenty-five. copies of it muss be
still more beneficial. IF further illustration
of this principle Sere necessary, we could
point to hundreds of instances where men
have made princelY fortunes by advertising
their business Literally, while others, equally
mcritorious, and possessed of equal, and-per
haps superior skill, talent and ability, have
laborcd for years without profit TO themselves
or the public, because they remained unknown
and worked in obscurity, by neglecting or re-
fusing to sdyertise.-N. Y RaalJcU.-

not get anything but what the rebels, the devils
incarnate, were disposed to dole out to him.
For eighteen days he had to live upon two
spoonfuls of -four and two spocnfuls of beans per
day. That was all he was allowed and all that
he could get. No wonder that he could hardly
stand when he reached our lines How 10 it
possible that any one can have any sympathy

fellow beings as the rebels treat our prisoners9
1t is not from necessity that they are thus treat

Again and A1aiu.

Our readers may think it strange that We so
often urge upon their attention medicinal pre-.
paration. Already have We, for o number of
weeks urged the importance Of a supply of Goes
Cough Balsam in the house. ready for immediate
use. But our excuse is the vast amount of sick
ness, sorrow and death that arc the imme diate
result of sudden coughs, colds and pulmonary
attacks; while thousands OF our children are
dying from Group and lung complaints. Time
and experience have proved that Goes Cough
Basam is the most speedy and rehsbls prepare
ton ever known to the world. Like magic Il
relieves the irritation Of the throat removes the
stoppages that prevent breathing In Group, and
heals all soreness Of the throat, chest and lungs.
No man should neglect to supply his family with
safe and reliable medicine like Goes Cough
Balsam, any more than he should neglect the
supply of their daily bread. It costs but forty
cents. and the bottles contain twice % hsuch 4,
those Of any other remedy At the same cost,
while in merit, it Is superior to all Others. All
drug stores keep it for sale. [nl1w4snJ

1S-we alluded, briefly, last week, to the "bank
war" in Muscatine, and expresseda hope that
the second Bank would succeed in getting their
charter. We still hope so. The more We think
Of it the more interest We feel in the enterprise.
This county has no bank, and large portions OF
tho banking buainess naturally goes to Musca.
tine, our nearest river town..
We are surprised at the opposition of the old
State Bank, that they should let their desire TO,
extra dividends SO blind themselves to the bes,
! interests oftheir city and county. Muscatine has
population of about 8, 200; and few if any towns
of its size in the State do the same amount OF
business. In the pork. grain and lumber trade
it has no superior in the State, and we have no
find active and profitable employment.
We see no reason why Linn county should sup.
port three National Banks, Iowa City two, and
Mnscatine only one. We append portion OF
the resolutions passed at the bank meeting, and
would say that in our opinion they are sound and
hard to be answered. The citizens of Muse atine
! thought SO, for at meeting Of nearly all the
business men OF the city they were passed nearly
unanimously. no one voting against them:
Resolved, That the wants of the people OF this
city and vicinity demand additional banking fa.
cilities, for the following reasons:
l. We require the natural com petition and f.
cilities that two banks can give US.
2. We think there will be ample business to sus
tain two Banks. as we are the natural center of the
banking business of Louisa and Cedar counties
which have no Banks, and portions Of Rock
Island and Mercer counties. in illinois, as well as
our own county. That the business Of the town
will greatly increase with the opening Of the
frah M hnf fho md lu,ph
trade Of this city is now not inferior to that of
any Iowa town on the river
| 3. We believe that the banking capital appor.
| toned to Iowa should be given to actual resi-.
dents Of the State. in preference to capitalists
from other States.
4. That the Bank already established is in the
hands Of but few persons and a large portion of
its stock is owned by non residents OF Iowa.
