When psrched by thirst eccasoned by the dust
which, nine days out OF ten, fills the levee-we
have one relief, that is TO make an attack upon
SUMTER" and in doing SO we generally meet
with more success than did certain gentleman
who In years gone by, made an attempt to pro-
vision fort bearing that name. In our attempt
we are more successful, for instead of irving TO
fill Sumter. Sumter tries to fill rs. Plainly
speaking, Mr.. Geo. Jacobshagen. the popular
proprietor OF the Sumter House opposite the Post
office, yesterday sent rs bottle Of as fine whisky
as was ever distilled.
