Consumption Curable by DR. Schenck's
Medicines.

To cure consumption, the system must be pre-
pared so that the lungs viii heal. To accomplish
this, the stomach and liver must first be cleansed
and an appetite created for good wholesome food,
which by these medicines viii be cigested prop
srly, and good healthy bleod made thus build
ing up the constitution. Schenck's Mandrake
Bls cleanse the stomach of all bilious or mucous
accumuIatiOns; and by using the Sea Weed Tonic
in connection, the appetite is restored.
sehenck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well
medicinal, and by using the three remedies all
impurities are expelled from the system, and good
wholesome blood made, which viii repel all d;s
ease. If patients viii take these medicines ac-
cording to directions, Consumption very frequent
ly in its last stage yields readily to then action
Take the pills frequently to cleanse the liver and
stomach. 1t does not follow that because the
bowels are not costive they are not required, for
sometimes in diarrhoa they are necessary. The
stoma ch must be kept healthy, and an appetite
created to allow the Pulmonie Syrup to act on the
respiratory organs properly a2d allay any irrita-
tion. Then all that is required to perform per-
manent cure is, to prevent taking cold Exercise
about the rooms as much as possible, cat all the
richest foOd-fat meat, game, and, in fact, any
thing the appetite Graves; but be particular and
masticate well.

Situation, . Farors the Ratification Qfthe
Constitutional amendment
MOBILE, Dec 6.
a special dispatch to the Adreniss- and
Register, from Montgomery, dated to day,
says the Governor sent message to both
Houses of the Legislature to day, stating
that events of most vital character are now
tTanspiring with reference 10 our relations
In the Union; and he expresses the appre-
hension the stability Of our affairs may be
suddenly broke up.
The Radicals are determined, at all hazard,
to enforce their terms of restoration, and
threaten to reverse our progress towards
tranquility. The cardinal principle Of re
storation seems to be favorable action on the
Constitutional amendment He thinks Its
ratification nece ssary, and suggests that our
full restoration may follow The Senate
referred the message to the Committee oi
Federal Relations, but the House adjourned
pending its consideration The contents oi
the message caused excitement, as the
majority of both Houses is opposed to the
ratification
Judge Busted has decided that payments
of debts in Confederate money are void.

0UR RoAD SYsTEM.-A cotemporary con-
tains the following chapter on roads" which
we transfer to our columns as equally aPpro-
pirate to our county;
We never go abroad without being annoyed
with the conditions of public roads. They
are bad, positively and superlatively bad.
Everybody knows it and complains of it
and yet they remain the same from
year to year, or if anything are getting
worse continually. Why is this and where
lies the remedy? We say they are bad first
because we have stony country and without
much labor (which is never devoted to them)
the roads viii be rough. Secondly, because
we have clayey soil and the roads in conse-
quenee liable to be muddy in wet weather
and fall Of clods and rough in cold weather
But tae main reason why our roads are so in
tolerably bad is because they are neglected,
mismanaged, not worked as they should be.
Nature has interposed no insurmountable OBJ
stacles to good roads in our county, although
we have hills, rocks and mud, we can have
good roads, if properly managed. The peo-
pie pay considerable road tax but it is all lost
money the way it is expended. The super
visors with their hands just run over theroads
once a year, pitch out few stones, open a
few break anu side drains and that very su-
perfeially, and how can we have good roads
under such system. The only wonder is
that they are not worse, The question is how
can they be improved? If we can prevent
the roads from getting muddy that is muddy
knee deep, we shall have good roads, and the
only way to do that is by macadamizing. In
travelling over muddy roads one can see the
adjoining fields dotted with large stone piles
Why are these not broken in the road ? We
think a road law should be passed that every
freeholder should make and keep the roads
in good repair over his own lands. This
would be an inducement for farmers to haul
the stone from their lands, where they are an
injury, into the roads where they are a benefit.
But under any system of working the roads,
the only way to get rid of muddy roads is to
break stone into them and cover them with
gravel and make good side drains, so that the
roads are considerably higher in the middle
than at the sides Where the roads are rocky
the same process will improve them. Better,
far better, make one mile of macadamized
road every year than skip over fifty miles
The hills would be comparatively no great
objection, if the roads were only dry and
smootn. me ntiierihta ais OVatv SItieLit ~
prove the roads and if The people do not at
tend to it they are blind to their own interest
and comfort.

the publishers propose to signalize the occasion
by Enlarging it TO the size of the most costly

country and Europe contributors 10 its pages.
Many Of TIE articles have the charm Of romance
about them, and inspire the mind with noble ideas

lation Of any similar journal in existence but it
ought to have million Of readers in this growing
country.
The engravings of New Inventions. Tools, Tn
plements fer the Farm, Workshop and Household

by the best artists in the world. This feature Of
the paper is very stTiaing and has won the praise
Of the united press Of the country and Europe

EMBEzzLEMEST.-We are Informed that a
rather heavy yembezzlement occurred at Bloody
Run, Bedford county, Tuesday last. 1t seems
that Dr. Mcneil gave his teamster a check
for $500 and sent him to a neighboring bank
with it for collection. The teamster did as
his master told him but failed TO return with
the money and made good his escape, passing
through this place in his fight. Our informa-
ton is very meagre, and we give the news as
we heard it without vouching for its correct
ness Huntingdon Monitor.
At the latest accounts DR.. Mcneil had not
succeeded in capturing the scamp. On his
way to Huntingdon. he gathered up young
woman at Bloody Run, took her to the form
er place, dressed her out in fine style, sent
her back bought himself new outfit, and
then took to the woods. He was too sharp
to take the cars. We hope the Doctor will
succeed in finding out his whereabouts and
have him arrested.

| DICKEx's CHRISTMAS STORY IN EVERY
SATURDAY Mugby Junction." Dicken' S
Christmas Story for 1866, is published com
plete in the 50th number of Erery Saturday.
As Mr.. Dickens contribution to the story
this year occupies a larger portion OF the vol
ume than usual, it is safe to predict that
| ''Mugby Junction will prove even more pop
ular than any of its predecessors. The first
four tales in the collection are from the pen
of the inimitable ''Boz" These episodes are
written in the authors happiest vein. Many
Of the characters introduced to the reader viii
at once take their places in literature beside
such immortal creations as ''Mr. Pickwick,
Little Nell - ''the Marchioness, and ''Oli-
yer Twist The sketch entitled "Barbox
Brothers. is one of those delicious lessons
which Dickens teaches so admirably. No one
can read il without strengthening his beliefin
human goodness. ''Young Jackson" Pho
be" and Lamp with his periodical
'rounders, become our personal friends i'm
mediately. Little Polly" the lost child,
whose name is not Triyits, is a conception
as charming as anything iu that marvellous
series of novels which we are never weary of
perusing. The whimsical description Of the
Refreshment Room, with the stale pastry,
and poor Mr.. Swift, win make Mugby
Junction fayorite stopping place this year
for many delighted reader. This Story ap-
pears in Erery Saturday seven days previous
to its appearance in England. The Publish
ers evidently intend, by such enterprise, to
give the readers of Ere5y Saturday more
promptly than they can obtain from any other
source the best and most attractive of the
good things in European Periodicals.

SAVANNAH, ga, Dec. D.
The accounts from the cotton crop from
this State are less favorable, although some
of the planters are widely at variance in
their statements. The majority, however,
express great disappointment at the result
of the yield, which turned out far less than
they anticipated before the picking.

Cheering Facts for the Bilious.

Every day demonstrates more clearly that L4iy-
or Complaint, in all its distressing forms, can be
controlled and cured without difficulty or inconye-
nience It is an obstinate disease, but its obsti-
macy is rot proof against the pertinaeious, rene
dial and restorative operation Of IIOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERs. That genial corrective
eompels the organ to do its duty. It must secrete
regularly and healthfully under the influence of
the Bitters. Their action brings it back from
state Of rebellion into perfect harmony with the
laws Of health. If there is eostiveness, it disOp
pears if there is side ache or backache it ceases
if the skin and the whites Of the eyes tinged
with superdous bile, they recover their natural
hue; if the appetite is gone, returns; if the di
gestion is impaired, it is restored in brief, what
ever the symptoms Of the complaints may be, and
whatever the phase it has assumed, cure is GER
tain. Such are the uniform effects Of this prepa-
ration where bilious disease has been already de
yeloped; butin eases where there is merely con-
stitutional tendency to liver complaint it may be
prevented throughout life by the regular use, in
small quantities, Of this palatable antidote
These are proven facts, aud sh,uld be seriously
pondered, or, rather, they should be promptly
acted upon, by persons of bilious habit.
