THE WEEKLY CLEANER,
LARGE EIaHT.PAGE JOURNAL OF
NEWS, POLITICS, LITERATURE.
An excellent Paper for Country Reading.
ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC
AGAINST RADICAL usuRpAT1oN.
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE so UTH
IN THE anEaT FIGHT

~ 1dE fEOPLE Or THE SO UIH.
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of tho South in itsIformer
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at the
low rate Of s1.5O for six months.
The annals of the American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
the magnitude of its issues and the mo-
righteousness of its results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very life of free government is on trial.
and 1t will be sad commentary on the
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 is 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.
As an organ, not only of sound Demo-
cratic principles. but as vehicle of ge-
neral news, the CLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A large
eight-page paper, of forty eight columns,
filled with the contributions of able cor
respondents, the daily wealth of tele-
graphic communication and readable edi-
torials. Especially will it be valuable as
an organ to disabuse 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-
tlon OF just sentiment at the North toward
the South can be rendered than by sub
scribing to the WEEKLY CLEANER and
sending it to acquaintances and friends in
tho Northern States.
We ask the aid of such OF our political
comrades as shall see this prospectus, in
the distribution of the paper; especially
during the progress of the impending
campaign.
e. The WEEKLY CLEANER is published
every Wednesday morning, and mailed to
single subscribers at $500 per anum; Six
Months, s1.50; Three Months, 75c.; Single
Copies, 10c. Sample copies will be sent

scription should be sent in drafts or post

The Chinese treaty was before the
Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions for consideration, and it was
substantially agreed upon. Mr..
Sumner will prepare ono OF two
amendments, and it will be reported
to the Senate for action. The treaty,
in brief, may be considered the open
ing wedge to the admission of China
to the family OF enlightened nations.
Its principal feature is, that it recog-
nlzes China rs nation, to whom we
are toaccord international rights and
obligations. and, in that respect, is
matter of more importance to China
than to us, since this country is very
willing to accord such recognition,
while France and England have been
backward in that respect. The treaty
further recognizes the right of the
Chinese Empire to the integrity of
Its own territory, by providing that
no system of internal Improvement
shall be forced upon her without the
consent of the Emperor. It recog-
nizes the principles of religious tole-
ration, the right of emigration and
immigration and of allegiance, and q
reciprocal provision regarding schools
and education. 1t contains no COM
mercial provisions, and is looked
upon rs preliminary to other and
moro important negotiations here
after, when the principles of the
present treaty shall have been recog-
nized by the leading powers of
Europe.

charge of numbering two brothers,
perished in the flames. The jailor

it has ever been left unguarded dur

COLUMBIA. s. G.. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY % 1858

A
general charter law, by which, with
out waiting for the assembling of the
Legislature, persons wishing to do so
may procure a liberal charter and
proceed with their enterprise.
In order to make available the
| many fine water powers with which
the State abounds, it is necessary to
pass general fowage law, without
which few large water powers can be
properly improved.
General charter and general flow
age laws may be new to us, but they
are common in all the manufacturing
States of the Union. In the United
States, nearly all large enterprises
are executed by associations of capi-
talists under charters of incorpora-
tions; and if we expect to participate
in the advantages flowing from such
enterprises, we must do as our neigh
bors do, and make such charters
liberal and easy to be obtained. The
public should be by law protected as
far as possible from the abuse of
such privileges; and perhaps the best
protection yet discovered, is to re-
quire the publication at stated times
of the assets and liabilities of such
corporations, sworn to by the chief
officers; the public can thus see their
true condition, and be governed
accordingly in their dealings with
them.
A general charter law was passed
by the Legislature of 1866; it is to be
hoped that this law may at least be
allowed to remain in force, if not
superseded by one more simple and
liberal.
The right of "eminent domain"
claimed by the State, enables her to
compel an individual, after he has
received full compensation, to part
with his property where it is neces-
sary for n public improvements; and
this right has been long and often
used in favor of railroad companies,
and to q very great extent; and per-
haps no railroad of any considerable
length could be constructed without
1T. If this right of the State was
largely used in favor of railroads,
why may it not be used to small
extent in favor of manufactures?
All owners of water powers which
are improved ought to be compelled
to construct full and ample waste
wiers, or other discharges, for the
surplus water of the stream used by
them. and they ought to be held
liable for any loss or damage which
others may sustain by reason of the
ilnperfections of their works; they
ought also, in cases where break OF
their dam may injure other works
below them, be obliged to give imme-
diate notice to the proper persons at
the points endangered by the break
age of their dams.
There are many other points to
which [ would like to see attention
directed, but this letter is now longer
than | expected it to be; but 1 trust
that will be excused, both for its
length and for having addressed you
at all, by the Importance of the sub
ject. Yours, respectfully,
BENJAMIN F. EVANS.

MATURE Is THE GREAT PIYSI-
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
arc 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
ging 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 so often urged against prepara-
tions Of the kind. AS medical agent it
has no equal, while it's pleasing flavor and
hcalthful effects have made it a general
favorite. 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 Hostettcr's
Stomach Bitters attest its virtues and
commend it to use.
Even those who are in the enjoyment of
perfect health frequently havo need to
nave recourse to tonics as prcvcntives of
disease. We are never too well armed
against the assaults of "thc ills that flesh
is heir to-" In health or sickness this
tonic cannot be taken regularly without
giving vitality and elasticity to the sys-

thought, too, that by encouraging the evident
belief of his sister, that he had been visiting
some of his female friends, he might put at
rest anysfears she might entertain as to the

"Yesl" he continued, springing from the
table and traversing the apartment with rapid
strides, entirely thrown off his guard by the
apparently artless question; "yes, will give

moment in deep reflection, oblivious to every
thing save the dark and gloomy picture burn
ing on his brain; "no, / will kill him-no

shalt do no murder? Think what must be the
judgment on your soul, if in an instant you are
summoned before Gods awful tribunal with
blood on your hands! Oh! brother, pause and
reflect before you stain your soul with such
a crime. There is no law, human or divine,
