WHAT DID II "A yeung lady, returning to
her country home after q sojourn of a few
months, was hardly recognized by her friends.
In place Of . rustic, fush face, she had Q soft
ruby complexion, of almost marble sInoothness,
and instead, of %, she really appeared but IL.
She told them plainly she used HAgan's Magno-
liza Balm, and would not be without it.. Any

much by using this article. 1t can be ordered
of any druggist for only so cents.

We are not very sanguine of an early set
Element of our difficulties, but hope, with
many others, that this, our darkest day, may
be the precursor of a bright and q brilliant
future We repeat, what we have SO often
said, that the restoration of the Union is the
main, indeed, the only vital issue before the
people of the South.
The great first want of the people is a re-
stored, a fully united country,-nothing is
complete without it without it we are but
half nation, us it were, without any unity
of sentiment action, no security for the
future. There can be no harmony, no COM
mon interests, aspirations or feelings, so long
as ten or twelve States remain out of the I'm
ion. There is but one way to regain any
thing like our former prosperity and happi
ness, and that is through the reconstruction
measures of Congress. In our opinion, it is
that or worse than nothing We desire to
impress these ideas upon the minds of our
readers, because we are aware there is an ele-
ment at work endeavoring 10 poison the
minds of the people against their own inter-
osts, mainly for party effect.
How Can the South possibly gain any
thing by procrastination 2 Without voice in
the councils of the nation, she is powerless.
The only door for the admission of the South
to full communion is now open. Remember
this when you cast your votes in the ap-
preaching elections for members of the Con-
| vention. Let all other issues be cast aside,
and march up in solid phalanx, determined
to do all in your power towards restoring our
distracted country.-,St1lem Press.

CArAwBA STATION, N. c., Oct. IA, 1867. :
We beg room in your paper, to make arr
ply to prionte letter which your correspor
dent, &C. G. Mem" received a few days az.
We would not respond through the column
of your paper, if only one individual
concerned but, it seems that several of
! friends in Eastern Carolina are involved
Formerly we were a citizen of RobesJ
County and are Scotchman by the ties
consequently. We make an extract fro
the letter then, will proceed to give t.
"whys and wherefores. ts
81 heard few days ago there was
lengthy article in the STANDARD Chat INF
nous Sheet from 90. G. Men" Says tn
he is in favor of no party; in favor of
speedy prosecution of the acts of Congress
and many other things 1 can not recite, b.
cause did not see the Standard lit don't ha,
hiding place in this part of Immoral coui
try, and hope it never WILLY If this is IL
work of my old friend, as presume it Is,
hope next time he will write for some otht
paper, not only for the interest take in hin
but for the sake of his old Robson friend
Now let me tell you how it is talked of
Some say, wonder who is &c. c. Men,
Where did he come from? What's the res
of his name2 Those who are acquainte
with you are aware that it is you, but don
think Scotchman would not write or do so,
&c. &c.,-wiIl not own you as Scotchman,
&C."
We are not ashamed of our political
course, and tell our wondering friends that
our name is GEORGE CAMPBELL MACNIELL;
that we are doing our best to keep up with
this progressive age in which we live. They
Ill, lxl,o fhox,
will be of the same opinion that we now en-
terrain. They will be concerted after John
son is politically dead and buried. Johnson
will never give back the niggers Abraham
Lincoln emancipated. They are gone.
We are sorry to see our Robson friends
so far behind the times We late like tue
dickens to oaon them. We bet they don't read
any paper-don't know Johnston surrender
ed at Greensboro in April, 1865. If they
will pay the postage, we believe We'll sub
scribe for the {" infamous Standard" and send
it to our Robson friends, to warn them TO
FLEE THE WRATH TO COME. We hate to see
them lose their land, and all their property
gone by contiscation. Woe unto We Israel
ties!
Fellow citizens of Robson, if you pursue
the same course long that you now do, de-
pend upon it your property will be confisca-
ted, if the efforts of the friends of Congress
do not save it for you, or we are a fool.
We are glad to see our old friend, Col.
Sinclair, formerly acting Editor nf the Will
mington Carolinian in the good work OF re-
construction on the Congressional pro-
gramme. He will get our Robson friends"
all 90. K" Fill up the column, friend Sim
clair, in Robson, as much as you did the
columns of the CarOlininn and save our
friends from the wrath to come.

The Sentinel has been told'' many things
about the Republican meeting in the Court
house on Wednesday night, which are not
true. Gentlemen who attend meetings Of
this kind as spies, and whose feelings are
kindly spared by speakers, ought not go out
from the meetings and lie about them.
The Sentinel assumes that Mr.. James Fl
Harris is ready to see all colored peoele
hanged who will not go with him. This as
sumption Is wilfully false. Mr.. H. intimated
no such feeling. Mr.. Pell sat by at the Tuck.
er Hall funeral and encouraged Gov. Bragg
in the threat which he made, that if the COL
orcd people persist in going with the Repub-
lican party they would be either DESTROYED
or driven from the country.
The Sentinel calls upon the military ar-
thority to arrest the Senior Editor of this
paper on account of his speech on Wednes-
day night last. We hope Col. Bomford will
take this suggestion under consideration -
But that excellent officer is in much more
danger of arrest than we are. Indeed, his
arrest aoas ordered in December last, by
political friend uf the Sentinel who was on
the bench, very much to the qualification of
that paper; and we have no doubt that if
there were no fear Of consequences before the
eyes OF the Sentinel and its set, Col. B. and
his gallant little band would be arrested or
driven from the State. The CRY of the Ora
ham, Worth, Pell, Bragg party would be,
determination or expulsion for yankees,
white Republicans and negroes. But the na-
tion ziees, thank God md such traitors as
PelE aeiH feel ats poner.
