A" CARD.

One Of tho many afllictious which tho
people of the South have suffered long and
severely has been imposed through The
morclless agency Of the great swarm of
travelling charlatans, quacks end emissa-
rles, OF every type a..d profession, from tho
North. 1t is not our purpose at present,
however, to point out the various means re-
sorted 10 by this numerous GLASS of impos.
tfrs, in the execution of their designs TO
gratIty the bascst cupidity by deception and
fraud. SO numerous are the instances of
Fraudulent imposilions practiccd upon tho
Southern people by Northern swindlcrs,
that they have come to the conclusion that
hotHing good can come from that Quarter; !;
that every doct or hailmg from yanlcc,tom,
no matter what his real merits, is Of ncces .
slty acharatan humbug and they arc
afraid to trust him. But wc arc r,od to
Dc aole to announce the name Of one who
has proved himself by his works to be an
honorcd exception 10 the general rule, and
therefore, worthy of the confidence Of our
people. Dr. Porter, II member of the New
York Electrical Institute, WHO has been
practlcIng his profession as Il physician in
snvcral places in this State and lastly, in
this city, has really as,ouislcd us by the
success with which he has met in the treat
mcnt of diseases. We have carefully cx-
amincd many certificates from his patients
in this State and elsewhere, sought and OBJ
tanned the opinion Of the most Intelligent
Of those whom be has treated here. and we
arc satisfied that he is no impostcr no hum
bug, but gentleman Of intelligence and
vcracity, and a skillrul physician Ills pa
ten3 spcah of his successful treatment in
the most commondablo terms, and rejoice in
the great benefit they have received through
his skill. Wo makcthi statement Cop the

we'll as thorough practical knowl-
edge of printing. and no doubt will
bring all their resources to bear upon
the one object, and that is, To make a
paper tlfat Charlotte cannot afford to
be without.
And second from Charlotte comes
4h0 Daily Bullrttn, q now paper owned
and edited by j. T.. Britton, who
seems to have as much determination
in keeping npa paper, as The cat is
rcputcd to have in living i'll spite of
being hillcd. Tho cat is said 10 have
ninc lives.
The third upon our new list is the
Scientific American, published by
