NEW }CRK, OctOpel 10, 1ooi'
DEAR S1R:-It is with much pleasure that
I say to you that I consider the Plantation
Bitters of untold value. In the fall of 1867
was taken with Chills and Fever, with the
most severe pains in my chest and head. 1t
was with great difficulty that l could breathe
My lungs were greatly distressed. and there
was severe pain in my right side, by spells. !
could hardly get up from my bed. I called a
Doctor, who attended me all winter without
the least benefit. About the first Of August /
commenced using your Plantation Bitters
"a wine-glass full three times day-and
have used it most Of the time since, and l
am now we'll and strong, able to do all my
own work and the care of large family.
Yours, &C., SUSAN WILSON.
MAGNOLIA AWATER.-Superior to the best
imported German Cologne, and sold at half
the price. -.

administration of justice to all parties
have thus far marked their course, , and
We sincerely trust such condition! Of
affairs may be kept up to the end of their
reign. Much of the present order is due
to the indefatigable and ubiquitous mar
shall, Mr.. Bas- Blease, and we compli-
ment him on the able discharge of his
arduous duties. 1t may not be amiss to
call the attention of Council to the indis.
,criminate use of pop-crackers; some re.
stricticn might with propriety be placed
on their use in the streets, and much
danger be avoided. Horses are made to
run away sometimes, and limbs and bug
gies broken, and houses burnt, by their
careless use. :.

with an earnest response. His closing
appeal, that his hearers might, stand by

was that regls;ra.tOD was suspended for awhile,

TO young man named Reedy summonIng him
TO leave the place In fifteen Minutes he being
suspected Of having given information to the

and his threatening language to the officers,
called for an order fo1 his arrest, when he sprang
tor the door, waving pistol over his head, and
shouting TO the crowd without to come on aud
MAINTAIN their rights. James Galloway, one of
the registrars, Immediately drew his pistol for
selt-deience, when ruffian rushed upon him,
presented a pistol at his head, and as he was
about to fire, Gallo way shot him dead. instantly
Galloway wae shot in return, but not seriously
wounded, when he turned to his would-be
murderer and shot him alsO The firing then
became general, and forty or fifty shots were
fred, Fletcher fleeing, but in the attack was
himself shot by stray bullet and instantly
killed.. Quiet was restored, but later results we
are not in 'ormed of. A telegram from the scene
was in town for the Governor last evening, but
at late hour it had not been delivered, aud its
contents we do not know. We forbear any
further comments upon the affray until we have
fuller particulars, but must express our regret
and adherence at the lawless aud bloody scenes
the Democracy OF the State seem determined to
force upon those who differ from them.
