gsy- We have heard of number Of in
stances in which DR.. Persons has greatly
benefited patients who have been treated
by him. Among the number, Mr.. I. II
Nance, of this county, has reported to us,
that he has been nearly blind from sore
eyes since 1859. He called on Dr.. Persons
week before last, at the urgent solicitation
of friend, having, as he told us, but little
faith in the ability of the Doctor to relieve
him. On the first visit, he was very n
sibly relieved in q few moments. He has
since visited the Doctor several times, and
say now, that he is entirely relieved from
all pain, and has no difficulty in seeing
nearly as good as he ever did with one eye,
and the other is considerably benefited.

neA.Just previous 10 the Prcsi
dental election Gov. Scott, Of South
Carolina, issued the following ad
dress:
70 the Citizens Of South Carolina:
Fellow. Citizens-The numerous
complaints made to this department
of murders and outrages committed
by wicked and inconsidcrato per
sons, excited by intense party feel
ing, made it my duty to issue the
late proclamation calling upon all
good and true men, without respect
TO political prediction, to unite in
demonstration to discountenance
and dcnounco lawlcssness and VIC
lcncc, and in an effort to recover
and maintain the good name that
has heretofore been the heritage
and pride Of our beloved State.
1t is now my pleasing duty to
congratulate you upon the beneficial
results that have cnsued from the
admirable and wcll-timcd address
of Gen. Hampton and the Executive
Committee of the Democratic party.
In honest and impressive terms
they have called upon the people to
support the laws, to preserve peace
and denounce these crimes which
have so recently been committed in
some portions of our State. These
patriotic counsels cannot fail of ha
wing wild, and wholesome infu
ence in moderating the vehcmencc
of feeling of those to whom they
are authortatively addressed, while
they have queted the apprehension
and conciliatcd the respect and good
will of their political opponents.
This is certainly just cause of
congratulation to every well-wisher
of the State, and gives me unfcigned
pleasure to acknowledge it, and to
earnestly invoke the cooperation
of every member of the RepL bican
party in rcciprocating to the fullest
extent the pacific policy so admir-
ably inculcated by the Democratic
leaders. Let acrimonious and irri-
Eating discussions be avoided, and
appeals be made to the intelligence
and reason and not to the fears or
passions Of the community.
Differ rs we may in political sem
timcnts, it is the dictate alike of
wisdom and patriotism for all to
appeal to and confde in the efficacy
of peaceful remedies for political
OWLS, actual or supposed. Let bear
and forbear" be our maxim, and so
shall the peace, prosperity and hon
or of our beloved State be main
tanned and perpetuated, and her

preserved unsullied and undimmed
in all its original purity and lustre.

BALLous MONTHLY MAMAzINE.-Thc De-
cember number of this popular Magazine
is received. We find it filled with that
charming variety of illustration and inter
eSting letter-press so well calculated to
keep 1t at the head Of the cheap Magazines
Of the country. Shillaber treats us to one
of his most musical illustrated poems Mrs.
Edison closes her interesting serial, "a
Woman's Error" William l.. Williams
gives the young folks an exciting story,
while Jane G.. Austin, James Franklin
Fits, Catharine Earnshaw, W. II. Macy,
N. P. Darling and several other writers of
more or less note furnish each a capital
story or poem. The humorous pictures
are uncommon'y good, embracing four diff
ferent subjects, illustrated by six engrav-
ings designed by Rogers.
The publishers announce for 1869 new
serial by the charming Miss Camilla Will
liam, also an original story for boys and
girls, to run through the year, by Horato
Alger, Jr., one of the most popular writers
forthe young. They also promise increased
attractions in stories and illustrations, for
the coming year, over those of any previ-
GUS one. AS their promises have been
more than performed in the past, we have
reason to believe they will continue to be
in the future, though it is difficult to see
how Ballou can be much improved over its
present excellence. 1t is sent TO subscribers
at 81 so per year, or in clubs for 81, 25.-

The Salt River Emigration.

4 hc Shis NatCh LhhhSiAeAoh'
In looking over the field Of the
fight of Tuesday, it looks as if
somebody had been whipped. From
the indications, we should think
that the party that did the falling
back was of the democratic persua-
sion.
1t is unfortunate that in battle
or in contest there can be but one
victor. But it so happens that but
one party can win, while the other
must lose. From this bad state Of
things, it has resulted that, as one
party only can win, the democracy
has not been that party. A contest
in which both parties could win
would be more satisfactory.
There is some satisfaction in the
thought that this defeat is not the
first one in history. The list of the
vanquished, from Adam down, is
rs long as that of the victors. We
have illustrious company. A good
many have "been there" before a
good many more will have "been
there" at the end of the future.
The men who have been defeated
are legion. and their Immortality,
in many cases, is not stinted. Ma
poleon the First was beaten. 1t is
a contingency liable to happen to
the best regulated families, to the
greatest of men, the most heroic of
armies, and the most patriotic of
parties.
"Whom the Lord loveth, He
chasteneth. These arc sublime
words and full of consolation. Let
democrats refer to them frequently.
The contemplation of them will do
good TO distressed souls. There are
probably other 0propOs passages Of
scripture that are equally beautiful
and consoling. We advise our
friends to take the Bible and read
il. As n general thing, it will be
found more encouraging than the
perusal of election returns. The
latter are not cheerful They are
like lists Of killed and wounded
after a battle.
Our radical opponents have got
things all their own way. The
emigration to Salt river leaves them

To REMovr THE TASTE DE NV

To REMOVE THE TASTE oE New
WooD.--A new keg, churn, bucket,
or other wooden vessel, will gener-
ally communicate a disagrecable
taste to any thing that is put into
it. To prevent this inconvenience,
first scalt the vessel well with hoil-
ing water, letting the water remain
in it until cold; then dissolve some
pearlash or soda in lukcwarm water,
adding a little lime to it, and wash
the inside of the vessel we'll with
this solution. Afcrward scald il
well with hot water before you use
it. The reason for this is the ready
combination of resinous matter
.sifh alkalincs to form a compound
soluble in water. The resinous
substances of wood, while new,
cause eisagreeablc taste and odor
in substances kept in wooden
vessels

THE GROWTH OF TAsTE.-We have, on
every hand, unmistakable evidences of the
growth Of IA better than former taste in ar
chitccture, agriculture, horticulture, me-
chanics, nd even dress. This is crafty
ing TO us, as it must be to every one who
has cast his lot in this State, and set his
stakes in this region. We are glad TO see
the old styles, in almost everything, which
were, no doubt, good enough for the rude
pioneer times, giving way TO modern i'm
provements. Ii convinces us that the in
domitable spirit of Frogress can and will
accomplish as great and desirable results
for us as il has done for the communities
Of the older States. In Dallas, for instance,
the stranger who may have wandered over
the wild-loc king prairies 10 it, will find
many Of the comforts and Injuries he
would naturally believe had not found
their way here, and could be found only in
the larger cities. Give us the siaekwater
lOck-and-dam navigation Of our rivers and
The railroads we need and must have, and
Texas will not be inferior to any Of her
sister States, in the solid comforts enjoyed
by her-bold yeomanry, or in the size, srlen-
dor and general importance Of her cities.

The Indians In nIuc Biouscs.

We do rot doubt That among the large
body Of Indians recently dcprrdating on
the frontier, there were many dressed in
the blue blouse and armed with the Spen-
Ger rifle OF the United States cavalry sol.
der. There can he no loubt Of this fact.
II is too well established to admit of any
thing like a successful denial. Eur II does
not necessarily follow that tie United
States troops, M body, nre 10 be held re.
sponsibIc for the furnishing and onittiing
of these wild, savage murd,rlus deprela-
tors. Yet, we would suggest that il would
be well for the Federal cavalry stationed
in Kansas and in other new States contig-
nous to the Indian reserves TO he careful
to prevent the uniform aud arms and am
muniIion Of the American soldier falling
into The hands Of the red men. The red
man in n blue blouse, aud with Spencer
rife, swung solder-like, is pretty strongly
eUidenEdl ,if we may use hat word IN this
placc) of something like coiiusion, to the
minds Of those who arrive at conclusions
from crude reflection; and while We have
no degree of belief that the United States
regular cavalry, as body, have had any
part with the Comanches and other red
deprt dators upon the whites, we would
suggest the propriety of those officers COM
handing posts on the frontiers and in the
immediate neighborhood of the Indian
countres-where the soldiers and savages
meet with the outward seeming of friend
-iorbidding their men trading or
giving away their new or old clothing, or
their guns and cartridges to the dusky
lords of belt and bow. The evils results of
the bad practice Of giving arms, ETC., into
wrong hands, we are sure, will more than
counterbalance any profit the soldiers may
derive from the petty, yet viewed in its
ultimate results, dangerous traffic; for
when we see bands Of hostile Indians,
tricked out in all the paraphernala of the
moving to the sound of the bugle,
and the like, it looks very much, at least to
the casual observer, like collision and driU
This will create a bad impression in the
minds of some and hard feelings in the
hearts of many. We know, and every one
not jaundicel with wrong prejudice,
knows that the soldiers are not in collision
with, nor, SO far as motive is concerned,
responsible for, the numbering and plum
dering of the frontersmen and pioneers
and their families by warlike tribes; yet,
if they would abstain from the bad prac-
tice of furnishing the rel robbers with
guns, ammunition, ETC., they
would do considerable toward restraining
the Indians from further ourages and
much .oward preventing false and dam
aging impression on the public mind in
regard to them selves and their motives
The war during which it was becoming
and legitimate in us to bear malice, is over;
and for our part, we desire to see the day
soon dawn when we shall oil be able to es
innate the character of the American SOL |
der with that high degree of respect and
admiration it won in the happier days
gone by.
