i We are compelled to notice the slaAAerous
statements of Henry Stonehraker, published in
the Staunton Vindicator, in which he changes us
with counterfeiting bis medicines. We emBhati-
cally deny that Henry Stonebraker originated the
medicines known as Stonebrakers Family Mcd-
cines, and Preparations, land are prepared with
the proof and furthermore state, that he is total
y incompetent to originate any medicines Of thsir
value, for Nan or Beast, and ehasaange hm Ss9 ~
examination before any medical authority in the
country. Presumptuous as he is, he deer nst, in
his own neighborhood claim to have originated
them, but in sections of the country whena h. ls
not known, he claims 10 have done So and thai BE
is the DR.. Stonebraker.
DIR. Stonebraker, his brother, made NEST Of tho
articles, now so popular, from 1858 to 1861, and
we now have copies of his labels, circulars, show
cards, and the advertisements in the papers Of
1860 In the spring of 1861, DR.. Stonebraker en-
tered the Confederate army, and remained there
until the restoration of peace. Wehave now COM
menced the manufacture of the medicines, from
the original receipts, under the supervision Of the
Doctor.
Henry Stonebraker has obtained an injunction
to restrain us from counterfeiting his medicines,
something we have not done.
We have answered the Injunction and have APP
piled for increase of responsible bond, and AS
soon that is obtained. we will secure adequa to-
damages for his false and lbelous accusations
We would have entered suit against him, long since
if he had been pecuniasily responsible.
Our agents will be promptly supplied with medl
icines as heretofore.
We will forward free of expense any of the an
ticles agents may need. s.

The eReaction NORTH,


We have heard heap Of talk about ''re-
action North" and what it will do for us, ac-
cording to the non-action men South. We
do see signs of "reaction" North and West
but we can't see how it is to benefit us in our
present condition, unless we conform our State
Constitutions to the requirements Of the Mill
itary Bills. That parties North and West
are changing front and that new issues are
springing up, which will sweep away old par
ties we believe; and we see hope in this change
for the Land We Love'-the Sunny South,
but we cannot see any relief from compliance
with the Military Bills, odious as they are, or
any reason to change our opinion as to the
plain road We prisoners of war" have to
travel
"Don't halloo before you are out Of the
woods is a good old saying and one that
should be acted upon by our, Southern, peo-
pie, in regard to all apparent evidences Of ere
action" North, especially the "ten thousand
Democratic" or anti Chinese, anti-mixed suf
frage, conservative, majority in California.
The Military Bills are certain to be enforced
by the present Congress, regardless Of ,cAat
is done By the people Of California or any
body North, and we should act SO as to control
our coming State Convention and, through
it, our local governments great object
: The Radicals in California lost that State
from local causes entirely disconnected with
our fate. They nominated German, a cor.
rupt and unpopular man, for Governor; the
other parties united and beat them, by theil
divisions, and by using the "Chinese suffrage
question against them. Just SO far as this cleo
ton shows protest against "mixed suffrage,
it is gratifying to know that the 'blue veins
will tell and sweep all minor issues aside, bu
these changes must not be taken for love TO-
the ''Rehel," SO called, or as sympathy TO
his fate. We must swallow the "bitter pill;
must reconstruct under the Military Bills,
or another howl will be raised North and W
will lose all.
Reccllect that the Radicals, our worst enc
mics, wish us to vote down reconstruction un
der these bills they formed them SO as to in
duce us to do SO and have Distracted thei
fair execution for the same purpose. 1t wa
Stonewall Jackson's successful rule ''to do ez
} actly what the enemy desired him not to do,
and, be assured, the acceptance Of these bill
by us, will be used as "trump card, by tn
opposition to Radicalism to carry the Mort
against it. In short the duty Of practica
true Southern men is to act as if they had n
4 friends North, and reconstruct" as spet
Oily as possible, tying their faith to n
party or set Of men at present. We can cas-
5 ly settle manyquestions when we have voic
in the "Halls of the Nation" as the yankee
, like to call it, and become, as we surely vii
the balance of power on this Continent. Ur
til work, emigration and material prosperit
gives us that power, let us beware of undu
citation over local victories in the North an,
West, and attend strictly to the work before u
! as people.

Wouldn't it be well for the colored folks
to consider the fact that the wonderful chang.

States, is simply opposition to negro or mix

it we'll before they throw themselves into the
troublesome sea of political strife. The end
is not yet-and the whites will rule this con-
tinent.
