 was shot Saturday night 18th inst, near Franklin. Rumors had prevailed during the day that the negroes intended to burn
 the town that night, and Ezell and others parolled the streets on horseback, and rode out some distance from town to recon hotter, and discovering no signs of hostil- ity, they returned to town and made re- port that quieted all fears. A short time afterward Ezell and three others rode just
 outside of town and were fired upon by Q party of negroes, eighteen in number, who were in ambush. Ezell received wound

 nTSherman and Nye, in the Senate the other day, managed, by laying their heads together, to get off something which they considered epigrammatic, in regard to the Democratic party. They Said it had placed a grayback can didate on greenback platform. Their man entered public life, we believe, as a monky-backed candidate upon pony platform. They think him able to do the "two-horse act!" now, and have placed him on the platform which Greeley interprets to mean gold, and which Stevens and Butler pronounce to be clear pledge ofgreenbacks, and nothing else. There are eprobably very few graybacks in their concern. Their supply crawls out of negro wool, and is colored accordingly.-lLouis Cou- rier

PURIFY YOUR BLOODlll
aiiirlsy's sarsaparilla,

OF ali the remedies that have been discov- cred during the present age for the "thousand ills that flesh is heir to- none equal this won derful preparation. Only ten years have elapsed since the discoverer, (who spent 8 decade in studying experiments, and perfect ing it,) first introduced it to the psblic, and it is already recognized by the most eminent physicians in all parts of the country to be the most surprising and effective remedy for certain diseases of which they have knowl- edge. All other Compounds or Syrups of this root have hitherto failed to command the sanction of the Faculty, because, on being tested, they have been found to contain noxious ingredi- ents, which neutralize the good effects of the Sarsaparilla, and oftentimcs injure the health of the patient. It is not so with Hurley s preparation.
 This is the pure and genuine extract of the root and will, on trial, be found to effect a certain and perfect cure ofthefollowing of com plaints and diseases:
 Affection of the Bones, IIabitual COstiveness,s ' Diseases of the
 Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Fry
 sIpe1aS, Female Irreg-
 ularities, Flstula,
 Skin Diseases,
 Indigestion
 Liver Complaint, Piles, sc.

Having had indubitable evidence of it's prompt and certain effects from the testimo- ny of a multitude of respectable citizens,
 among whom are classed some of our best physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend this Preparation in all cases of Fever and Ague and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the facts in our possession of it's intrinsic value, it would not be too much for us to state that when the directions are strictly complied with, we warrant Q cure in every case where it is tried It is pleasant to the taste, and the cheapest medicine in the world. There fore, in truth, it may be declared the day IS
 not far distant when it must be appreciated
 and used in every household where Fever and Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist. The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton ic Syrup in neutralizing the effects of mala-
 ricus poison in the human system, can only explain it's extraordinary agency in the
 speedy, thorough and permanent cure Of Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all their kindred diseases, in whatever form of
 Bilious Complaints they may make their ap- pearance.
 As its name imports, it is Tonic of rare and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and harmless ingredients, and are so united as to form compound alike skillful in art, beau tiful in appearance, and can be taken with safety to the most delicate constitutions. 1t is the result of a lifetime of experience aud practice in a Southern climate, and was new
 CT known to fail, even where all othe reme-
 dies had been tried in vain.
 Those who are unaequainted with the ex- traordinary properties of this home produc- tion, manufactured from Roots and Plants indigenous to the soil of eur ''sunny South, " land kence adapted to the cure of Southern climatic diseases) are respectfully referred to the certificates of respectable citizens whose names are embraced in a pamphlet which accompanies each bottle; also the en- dorsements of the press in all the Southern States, indicating the many thousand cures already performed by our justly celebrated
 Texas Tonic Syrup.
 The reports from hundreds of Druggists,
 Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the
 country, are uniform in stating the medicine
 is safe, certain and reliable, as a substitute
 for Quinine and the poisonous compounds
 heretofore generally sold, and is rapidly
 supplanting everything of this class.
 As homo enterprise it especially com mends itself to the people of this section of the country, who are now struggling in an
 effort to do away with old prejudices in favor of foreign produce, and may we not hope
 foreign 'souack Nostrums," the proprietors of which in most cases, are governed by mo- thing but mercenary motives, know nothing of the properties of Medicinal Agents, and care nothing for our interests, except to en-
 tice our people into the use of their vile
 mixtures.
