MEDICAL ADVICE.-D DR.. Nm. X. Dohcrfy :
Medical and Surgical institute is becoming stne
ana men to the welfare of our State and health
Of our citizens; and his rapidly spreading repu'a-
ton although it may excite surprise, is but the
signal of skill and follows as the natural effect
of such cause. We are personally acquainted
with gentlemen who bad suffered for years under
chronic disease and who had taken advantage OF
every available means that promised relief. but
without success, until they called upon Dir. Do
herty. who in an incredibly short space of time,
has given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying TO
announce this fact, because the Doctor is a gem
ticman who seeks. not by defamation Of others.
to establish his reputation. or to rear the super
structure OF his own upon the ruin of anothers
fame. The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
manner that must be gratifying to all his pa
.ients. He examines, advises and recommends
without charge, and the patient after hearing
his terms for treatment can accept or reject at
pleasure In no case does the Doctor make
CHARGE unless he effects cure. This he is ii lc
TO do. because he feels the confidence which long
cxper;cuce has evcr. and no doubt the consola'
ton which appcliains TO that confidence. Per
sons afflicted with either acntc OF chronic disease
would do well to consult tbc Doctor: at all events
II can do no harm. as for consultation be asks no
fee; nor does he insist ca obedience 10 his adyice

The Sea Islands, Pronertv.

The Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Times states the question of the Sea
Islands property thus:
The only essential point of difference be-
tween the two Houses Of Congress with re-
spect to the Freedmen's Bureau Bill was
upon the Sea Island question. The report
agreed upon by the Conference Committee
adopts, in the main, the view upont this oues-
ton OF the Senate. 1t provides that restora-
ton of lands occupied by freedmen under
Gen. Sherman's order shall not be made until
the crops of this year have been gathered
nor till the former owners of the lands or
their legal representatives have paid the
freedmen affair compensation for all improve
ments. Provision for the freedmen dispos-
sessed of lands held under this order is made
In the parishes of st. Helena and st. Lake.
where Government holds thirty-eight thous-
and acres bought in at tax sales made in
pursuance of the Presidents order of Sept.
10, 1868. These lands are to be SURVEYED
under direction of the South Carolina Tax
Commissioners, and divided up into twenty
acre lots, which are to be sold at 81 so per
acre to the freedmen, first to those now oc-
cupying plantations under Sherman's order,
and second to those who have been turned
OF such plantations. No person can have
more than one tract, and payment NAV be
made any time within six years. The As
slstant Bureau Commissioners of Georgia and
South Carolina are authorized to determine
the validity of claims under Sherman's order.
and issue non-assignable warrants on the
South Carolina Tax-Commissioners in favor
OF all persons having valid claims.

A WORD TO FREEDMEN.-From the
best information we can get, the Freed
men in this and the adjoining countries.
are performing their respective labors
and fulfilling their contracts equally as
we'll if not better than was expected
This is to their credit and we sincerely
hope for their own benefit and commun-
tiles, they will continue to do so. We
regret to say however it is not so much
SO with the women, good many of
them seem disposed to do nothing, or
work on short time, without any re-
gard to the future or their contracts.
We urge upon all Industrious and wor-
thy Freedmen to use their best endeav-
or to make their respective families do
their part as well as themselves. The
time will come when they will need it.
We suggest this for their own henefit.
