Letter from Ex-Gov. Perry.

MEssRs. EDIToRs MERCURY: The
apathy and indifference of the neo-
pie of South Carolina to the i'm
pending degradation, infamy and
ruin which await them, politically,
socially and pecuniarily, are indeed
appalling. They are now standing,
as 1T We're, on a magazine of powder,
which spark may at any time ignite
and blow them into eternity. There
is in onr midst a black volcano,
whose upheaying and partially smo-
thered throes, are unmistakable of q
terrific explosion. And yet no one
seems alarmed, or thinks, of making
the slightest effort to rescue himself,
his family or country from the
threatened destruction. Nero's fid-
ding while Rome was burning is
prudence and virtue to our present
insensible and voluntary stupor and
Indifference.
There is great party at the North,
struggling for our salvation, and
doing all that heroic and patriotic
men can do. to rescue the people of
the South and the Republic from
tyranny, dishonor and death, whilst
we are not raising o hand to help
them in this fearful, mortal conflict.
Are the Southern people lost to all
shame, insensible to all honor and
indifferent to the safety of them
selves, their famslies and country?
Ii they are not, it behooves them to
be up and doing before it is too late.
Let there be, ht once, in this State,
in every district, town, village and
neighborhood in the State, formed
and organized n Democratic party, to
affiliate with and act in concert
with the National Democratic party
of the Northern States. This will
strengthen them, and encourage them
In their noble and patriotic resist
ence to the tyranny of reckless
Congress, whose sole. purpose seems
to be, to destroy the liberties of
their country, and to establish a
negro despotism in the South.
The radical party, through the in
strumentality of vile emissarics, out
casts OF society from the North, and
poor, ignorant and deluded negroes,
are thoroughly organized throughout
.A, All o'ciy CItIo, blStrlcG
and neighborhood. Their secret
Union Leagues are everywhere, and
through them they have deceived the
negro and bought up. mean and un-
principled whites by the temptation
of office, from that of Governor
down to constable. In this way they
have got control of the State, whilst
the honorable, intelligent, patriotic
and virtuous have been snpinely in
active and Indifferent. This must
not be SO any longer. If the con-
servative men of the State will.or-
ganize everywhere, and exert their
influence, they may yet open the
eyes of the negroes to this inevitable
destruction which awaits them rs a
race and people. They may control,
at least, the best portion of them,
and induce them to vote against the
ratification. of the Constitution, or
stay away from the polls. 4ntelli-
gence, virtue and wealth must exert
u powerful influence over any and
every people where properly applied.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

THE NIISERABLES OF THIS
BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL WORLD
ARE THE DYsPEPTICs.-Wit a
good digestion there can neither be bodily
comfort nor mental enjoyment.
Between the stomach and the brain
there is close and wonderful alliance.
If the one is disordered the other is
gloomy, detected, incapable of effort, and
indifferent to all that makes life agreeable
to the healthy.
Is this a condition that any rational hu-
man being is willing to endure, when the
means Of certain, immediate and perma-
nent relief can be obtained everywhere?
The Dyspeptic has his fate in his own
hands. If he chooses to Danish forever
disorder that racks his body and dis
turbs the mind with nameless horrors, he
has only to step to the nearest drug store
and procure supply of
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
No phase of Dyspepsia has ever yet re-
sisted the Alternative, tonic and anti-bilious
operation OF this potent vegetable specific.
1t literally regenerates the lethargic sto-
mach; rouses into healthy action the DOR
mant liver; puts to flight the dismal fan
cies that beset the mind; gently relieves
and regulates the bowels; strengthens the
epfeebled nerves; restores the appetite,
and makes, as it were, new creature OF
the desponding and debilitated invalid.
Ladies who suffer from indigestio have
only to take a small dose of this pure vege-
table corrective, once or twice o day, to
secure entire exemption from the pains
and penalties of q weak stomach and that
perfect functional regularity, which but
few of the sex uninterruptedly enjoy.

to the swift" But the bugle at last stops the
pursuit, and the men gather to its call.
The enemy, Bartrelle thought, would not
venture to disturb him again. His own losses
had been slight, but such as they were he
could devote only to the wounded attention
and care. The dead he must leave where
they we're. Carefully, therefore, bestowing
the wounded in litters, he hurried forward at
a rapid gallop, and towards midnight entered
the Confederate lines; and hastily seeking
quarters, the tired and weary troop was soon
stretched in repose.
Throughout the adventures of the day Zera
had remained at Bartrelle's side. She had
shared with him all the dangers of the fray;
and the men saw with pride the conspicuous
gallantry of the new recruit, whom they had
now aseertained to be their leaders cousin.
swell, Zera, what do you think of a soldiers
ifes" asked Bartrelle, as they neared the end
of their journey.
"Oh, Richardl amt it dreadful"
"Why so? / think not.
sBecause of its horror The events of
this day will never fade from my mind To see
you as / saw you to-day, the embodied demon
of the fight, is terrible" and The fair young
stranger shuddered at the dark picture she
could not shut out from her eyes.
"By heavens, it was splendid" declared
her companion
"Ohl do not say sol you make me shud-
der"
Here, seeking that repose their tired bodies
SO much needed, we will leave them while we
look after others, who have been somewhat
neglected.

As an original expression Of heavy grief we

than the following. of crushed heart in Star
City, Nevada. Mrs. E., Of that place, an &C.

a relative. and without waiting for the usual sslu-
tations, said:
"Well, Johns deadl- (Her husband.)
"Deadl Is 1t possible?'
Yes; dead Died last night Want you all
to come to the funeral. The Masons and Odd
Fellows are going to turn out, and we shall have
a beautiful time"
Deaths being of rare occurrence in the settle

there was a large turnout.

There's q region far away from earth
Should be very happy today;
For great soul. ripe for its birth,
Has gone from this world away.
And think-as sit alone,
While the night is falling around
OF cold. white. cleaning stone.
And long. lone, grassy mound;
And Of what rests under the sod
The poor. pale face, the still brain,
Left awfully still by the spirit Of God,
That has gone to Him again;
The eyes that will shine no more,
The hands that have done their task
And my heart Is heavy and sore,
And my mind is hungry 10 ask
If all indeed be wen
In the realms beyond the dark;
What secret the palld lips could tell
OF that body SO quiet and stark.
Bnt there comes a murmur Of trees,
That wave their arms and bring
Binds blossoms aud leaves to shake in the breeze
From spring to spring;
And they whisper that all Is well, e
For the same hand guides us all
WHCtuCI Us nrCu ia ndu Qc1tu kucu
Or in the leaves that fall.
And so many have gone before
That the voice of another sphere
Floats often from over a sable shore
And pierces the mists of fear.
O, tender heart that is still,
You will falter with trouble no more,
Nor know of the good or the i'll
OF frantic worlds uproari
Nor heed the great or the small
OF strange, bewildering life,
That often seems dust and ashes all,
And is mostly vapid strife
For the end is the piece of grass,
And Gods peace, ever to be;
The one for us 10 feel as we pass,
The other enshrining thee.
Clouds sail and waters flow.
And our souls must journey on;

Second Church, Charleston, S. CA friend
in Charleston adds to business note to the
Southern Presbyterian, the following items of
interest with regard to the Second church in
Charleston:
Il think Christians are beginning to see
their duty more clearly, and are becoming will
ing TO give more literally of their means to
aid in building up all enterprises that tend to
promote our Master kingdom on earth
Our church, think, is under the influence Of
this feeling. Our collections, which are taken
up every Sunday during the singing of the
last hymn, are liberal; and all the enterprises
of the church are sustained Cur Sunday
School is large and well attended, and is the
life of the church. Our ladies are active, and
by their own labOrS have bought handsome
table, chairs, and font, for the pulpit; and are
now working for means TO purchase a carpet.
We meet for prayer every Sunday, quarter OF
an hour before Sunday School This meeting
is led by the teachers in turn; and we have
found it of great benefit in many ways-in
bringing the teachers closer together. and pre-
pairing Us all for every department of Chris
tan work.
Rev James Wilson has removed from Deca-
tur, Ca, to White Bluff Dickson county,
