| US gratihcation to notice our old Charleston
merchants re-establishipg themselves in busi-

our city.

We learn from these gentlemen that thoy will add
new feature to the business by the direct i'm
portation Of drugs, chemicals, &C., from we'll
known European laboratories. Mr. WINEMAN,
who is o thoroughly educated druggist and apo

to make arrangemen for importing goods in this
particular branch, but was prevented from carry
ing out his Intentions and returned here in 1861.
The gentlemen now composing this firm have
been always identified with the interests of our
city, and with ample capital and thorough bus-
ness qualifications cannot fail to obtain abundant
patronage.
We bespeak for them large share Of success,
to which Ne thfhk they, as Charleston mel, Pare
eminently entitled.
