SPECIAL NOTICES.
NATURE Is TIIEo GREAT pHYsI-

NATURE Is THE GREAT PEYSI-
CIAN.-This is now admitted, by the me-
dical profession, as fundamental princi-
pie OF healing science. 1t is wisely
provided by the human economy that
whenever anything is wrong in the physi-
cal system, the natural forces of the body
are brought to bear to expel the disease.
The great aim, therefore, is to strengthen
the natural powers. This has been kept
in view by the skillful compounders of
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERs,
which operates to give fresh vitality to all
the organs of the body. The effect of this
medicine upon the stomach, the liver and
the kidneys, is prompt and decisive. The
patient, who is wise enough to quit drug
giDg and try the Bitters, soon feels as if
he had taken new lease of life, and as he
continues the use Of the article he is over
joyed to find the streams OF health cours-
ing through his frame. 1t is prepared
with great care, and its component parts
are entirely vegetable. 1t is free from the
objections 80 often urged against prepara-
has no equal, while it's pleasing flavor and
healthful effects have made it general
fayorite. 1t is free from all properties
calculated to impair the system, and it's
operations are at once mild, soothing and
efficient. All who have used Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters attest it's virtues and
commend it to use.
Even those who arc in the enjoyment of
perfect health frequently have need to
nave recourse to tonlcs as preventives Of
disease. We are never too we'll armed
against the assaults of ''the ills that flesh
is heir to-" In health or sickness this
tonic cannot be taken regularly without
giving vitality and elasticity to tho sys-

THE WEEKLY CLEANER,
LARGE E1oHT.PAaE JOURNAL OF

An excellent Paper for Country Reading.

AGAINST RADICAL UsURpATioN.
TO TIE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH,

TO TIE PEOPLE. OF THE SOUTH,
THE WEEKLY CLEANER to
the rehabilitation of the South in itsformer
prosperity-is offered to subscribers atthe
low rate of $3.50 for six months.
The annals of the American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude Of it's issues and the mo-
Nervousness of it's results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed. the
very life of free government is on trial.
and it will be y sad commentary on tho
capacity of the people for the exercise of
that high trust if they, the jurors who are
to try the issue, pronounce verdict of
self-condemnation. If the South has any
hope 1t ls in the success of the Democratic
party in the coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitally Interested in
the progress of the battle, and cannot
afford to be without sound and reliable
newspaper. re ~, s, ..y..
AS an organ, not only of sound Demo-
cratic principles, but as a vehicle Of ge-g
neral news, the CLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. Alarge
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
filed with the contributions of able cor
respondents, the daily wealth of tele
graphic communication and readable edi-
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
en- organ to dsabuse the Northern mind
OF the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs Of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view of the
matter, no more valuable aid to the true
reconstruction Of the country and restora-
tion of just sentiment at the North toward
the South can be rendered than by sub
scribing to the WEEKLY CLEANER and
aending it to acquaintarccs and friends in
the Northern States.
We ask the aid Of such Of our political
comrades as shall zee this prospectus, in
the distribution of the paper; especially
during the progress OF the impending
campaign. ~

every Wednesday morning, and mailed to

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT Knox
vile Press and Herald, of the 28th
ultimo, contains the following ac-
count of dreadful accident in East
Tennessee, by which the wife and
two children of former resident of
Lynchburg met with sudden and
awful deaths. The Herald says:
"On last Thursday night, Mrs.
Fans, wife of Colonel G.. A. Eams,
living a quarter of mile from Tai
ford's Station, on the East Tennessee
and Virginia railroad, was sitting
up, waiting on a sick child. We
understand that several times during
the night, when she arose to give
the child the medicine. she had
poured oil OH some embers in the
Fireplace, for the purpose of making
n blaze and lighting up the room.
The result was, that at lest the oil in
the can took fire as she was stopping
down over it with the child in her
arms. The can exploded, and the
burning contents were thrown over
her and her child. With frantic
screams, Mrs. Eams rushed into
another room, where her husband
had been sleeping. He, aroused by
her cries, wrapped blankets and
quilts around her, endeavoring to
put out the flames, burning himself
severely, but, alas, too late to save
the mother or child! The former
was terribly burned about the head
and upper part of the body, and the
latter was burned from head to foot,
expiring shortly afterwards. Mrs.
Eams, while in the agonies of her
tortures, gave birth to another child,
and, on Sunday morning, the mother
and both children were buried in the
,le coffin"

negroes were commanded by white
man who teaches O negro school in
the vicinity, aud negro man named
Brooks, who declared their intention
to have revenge for the killing of the
six negroes.
The whites, under the command OF
the Bureau agent and the sheriff,
continued to organize and prepare
for the fight. The tlain was again
despatched to Bryan for assistance,
kilograms were sent thence to Ben
ham for troops, and to other towns
for assistance, and skirmishing, re-
sulting in the death of several ne
groes, continued throughout the
entire day. A company of soldiers
arrived late in the afternoon, (l6th
instant, and Immediately sent out q
scouting party, which killed three
negroes. On yesterday, the negroes
becoming pretty we'll convinced that
they were getting the worst of the
fight, scattered their forces, and no
body of them could be found. It is
reported, however, and generally be-
lieved, that large body of them are
camped in the vicinity, ut no very
great distance, and the prevailing
belief is that the affair is not vet at
an end.
The citizens, generally, are of the
opinion that the negroes were insti-
gated to the course they have pur-
sued by bad white men, who wish to
give color of truth to the report of
the State Convention on lawlessness
and crime, and also to aid Judge
Caldwell and Morgan Hamilton, who
have gone to Washington City to
endeavor to get authority to organ
ize and arm n large body of negroes
as State militia, on the hypothesis
that the life of n Union man is not
safe in Texas. And, according to
their doctrine, no man can be a good
Union man unless he belongs to the
Loyal League. The carpet-baggers
and Loyal Leaguers have preached
and educated the negroes into the
belief that the late war was fought
on purpose to free them, instead of
their emancipation being one of the
results of the war. The "truly loil"
will, no doubt, herald this unfortu-
nate affair as wholesale murder by
the rebels; but no one, save one of
the white Leaguers. had the bravery
and manliness to stand by the negro
and share his fate.
The fact that all the killing by The
whites was done by citizens under
command of the agent of the Freed
mems Bureau and the Sheriff, and
by United States soldiers. under
command of their proper officers;
and the further fact that no man can
be appointed Bureau agent or Sheriff
in this State, unless through a radi-
cal Governor and q radical Major
General, should at once convince all
fair-dealing persons that the whites
were not in the least to blame in this
whole affair. The negroes can lay
the whole blame upon the teachings
of bad white men, who have come
among them as teachers, speakers,
&C., but when it came to powder and
lead, deserted them and left them to
their fate. The negro leader, Brooks,
is preacher, and, like great many
others, is paid out of Uncle Sans
cash box, his salary being 5000
year from the Government.

| STAMPING A DEED. -Blinker, farmer
of means VINO does not take the paper, nor
read the laws, but who thinks his wisdom
boundless, sold pasture for three hundred
dollars. The purchaser, having counted out
the money looked at the deed and said
Mr.. Blinker, you must put "a City cent
stamp on the deed to make it lawful. !"
What! stamp deed? It's all folly !;
there no such law" said BIinker on his
dignity
His friend explained but failed to make
BGnker see it, and was Obliged to say
We'll, if you do not stamp the deed, [
shall not pay you the money.
IF you are so darned particular, said Bin
ker, Il suppose | can stamp it fifty cents
worth, but hate to spoil the squire wri-
ting ;"
Th deed was handed him he off with his
coat, stepped back into the room, laid the
deed on the floor and commenced stamping
it with his foot The purchaser, the squire
and witness, turned all colors, and finally
laughed Historically. Catching his breath
one said
"What are you doing Blinker-are you
crazy?"
Doing? Why [ am stamping this darned
deed fifty cents worth. and calculate twill
take me five hours, reckoning time at ten
cents an hour.

California is rapidly coming to the front
as the wheat growing State of the Union.
Her wheat crop for 1867 footed up to over
twenty million bushels, and as il realized
fully 50 so in gold per bushel,it follows that
she is to-day $50 OO0.OoO better off for it.
Add to that the value of 4 100000 gallons of
wine and brandy, and an almost incalculable
fruit crop, and you bave some idea Of the
money realized by the farmers of California
last year. 1t is estimated that this year l.
600. 600 acres will be planted in wheat alone
Give the average of thirty bushels per acre
the estimate is low one for California
and we shall have 3 j.0000e0 bushels of
wheat. This places California in the front
rank of wheat producing States. Her corn
GRO, is of small account. and the barley and
oat crops will, perhaps, be less than in 1867,
but the aggregate will be enormous and must
materially affect the grain market.

A Slight Mistake.

They have some affecting weddings out III
the fiat country, bey ond the trees
In the semi-rural district of Winona, lives,
| among several other people, a good jolly
fellow of a justice of the peace. One faiI
| day, after the ten by twelve dispensary had
been swept, there was a step heard on the
STAIR, and a very vigorous rap at the door.
Come in, )" said the justice.
A handsome, black eyed, Spanish look
ing woman entered. 1t was clear case of
a senorita, Of the New Mexican brand. She
had on a short wollen dress, wooden soled
| shoes; spotted red cheeks, black hair, and
| eyes that snapped like the lock Of shot
| gun. In a Spanish accent, aud ln the worst
possible English, she said:
"I ou make justica aqua? You the law
man?'
Yes madam be seated
Want paper; want paper to take the
| man.
Just then a stout French half breed en-
tered the room. He waI unable to speak a
dozen words, and he looked either scared or
bashful. The justice saw at once that there
was marriage to come off, and turning to
the woman sad
Want paper to take this MANI
Yes; want paper; me teach him.
Mice woman thought the Justice
''All right, as he turned to the man ard
| said you know this woman, can take

The man shook his head and uttered un-
! intelligible words.
'Ah, see can't talk English; well
| never mind.
He ran into the street, Invited few
friends up stairs, and then said to the WON
an:

Then tnrning to the mane who stood
trembling:

worse, and promise to keep herr

Then in the name of the law, aud by
virtue of the authority in me vested, [ pro

who in turn pitched into her, and for about
five minutes there was general buStling.
a: last the parties were separated, when
the man and woman took another turn at
each other, the blood and hair flying in ev-
cry direction. Down came the stove, over
went the table, clatter went the chairs, and
into the street like mad went the Justice,
W 18th the bosom of i shirt looking like
warranty deed covered with red seals
A crowd rushed up stairs and found the
man and woman lying on the floor, he wom-

The newly married couple were separated,
when through the aid of the two interpre
ters it was discovered that the parties, oc
cupying adjoing shanties in the lower part
OF the town, had got into dispute over
some stove-pipe that was claimed by both,
and from words they had come to blows.
Each party had hastened to the justice for a
warrant for the other, with the result as
stated above
The last news from there was that the

MIDWINTER

The frost-wor shines about the pines,
The merry bells are Ginning,
The happy ways of happy days
cannot turn to hyming
Who leaves life's care and labor's wear,
And acts a merry part,
May find midwinter in the air,
Midsummer in the heart. 81
Yet while Springs flush and Summers blush,
And Autumns color deeper,
While Winters pale still some must yield
Their treasures to the reaper.
Midwinters bells ring out like knells
Upon their startled hearing;
How vainly swells the song that tells
Their loss of joys endearingi
God pity those borne down by woes
Who act life's saddest part
Who find Midwinter in the air,
Midwinter in the heart,
