sue, this fight was not made by us, nor
yet in our behalf, for the day of our
power has gone from us. We have
played our hand and The stakes are lost
to us. If, in the course of the game,
we arc called on to resume our place
at the board, we may do so, and doubt
less will do so. But such matters are
never determined by us, but for U.s.
We wish well for liberty, and are ready

and keep cool. Don't get excited or
lose your selfpossession. Be espe-
ciaily careful to look after your crops.
Money is what We stand most in need
of, money, by Gods grace and help,
to pay the old score and provide for the
new. There is no danger OF our being
left out in the cold il q fire is kindied

struction, no more are we able to help
ourselves or them. We are, however,
by no means hopeless. Almost any
thing is better than the last three years
bondage; and though the Constitution
and the Union and republican Govern

decided, yet the change, the very trans
ition may bring us relief. So, llet us
not despair. IfAndrew johnson, who
is the leader Of Democratic ideas on

we once had, he is nevertheless likely
to prove an Over.match for the Radi-

Southcrners In New York.

The New York correspondent of the Mobile Register gives the following in recent letter:
 Southronism eff may coin word) has almost disappeared from this city. The statement is not in any respect true. There is more of it than ever be- fore. There is hardly trade or pro- fession in which large number of Southern men are not engaged, and most of these have come North since the war. They are found at the bar, on the press, practicing medicine, in edu- cational institutions, engaged in mer- cantilc pursuits, in banks and insurance offices, employed as clerks in wholesale stores, and, in fact, following every bu- siness on the long list of avocations in New York. Then there are large and constantly increasing social circles, composed almost exclusively of South ern men and women, large and fashion able boarding houses, where one meets hardly any but Southern people, church attended by Southern people only, and two hotels known by every one to be patronized almost solely by Southerners. Instead of being on the decline in New York, Southern influ- ence is constantly increasing. It per- meates the whole business circle, is found in the best society, and is almost brushed against by every saunterer on Broadway. No doubt this is very an- moving to the "loyar' element, but don't see how that element is going to get rid of it.

A Supposed SuiCide--A Young MaN Taken Suddenly Ifi--zEfs Death and Former History.

Norman l.. Barber is dead. He was, during the past two years, and until about two weeks ago, bar-tender at the Kennard. Having contracted halo its that were not suited to the business, he was discharged. The discharge, however, was not on account of his love for strong drink. He was &C., counted & sober young man, and was very handsome and pleasing in his manner. After being discharged, he borrowed money from a number of friends, expecting to pay it when he secured another situation. Being de- feated in his plans at the Weddell House, with Joe Murch and at other places, he became disconsolate to such an extent that his acquaintances marked the change at first sight, on Friday. He wandered about the streets all day, bringing up at the Kennard House in the evening, where he remained until eleven o'clock, in deep meditation. He then went to No. 1lS Bolivar street, his boarding house, where his room mate. during the night, discovered him breathing very hard and sent for Dr. Smurr. He continued to grow worse and worse, until :l5 A. NJ. to day, when he died. He was twenty-three years of age, and his friends live at Cazeno- via, N. Y. The deceased never com plained of ill health, heart disease, or any thing of that kind, which gives some ground for the supposition that he committed uicide.-Cleveland (O.) Plaindealer, Nov. Huh.

Having had indubitable evidence of it's prompt and certain effects from the testimo- ny of,a multitude of respectable citizens, among whom are classed some of our best physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend this Preparation in all cases of Fever and Ague and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the facts in our possession of it's intrinsic value, it would not be too much for us to state that when the directions are strictly complied with, we warrant cure in every case where it is tried It is pleasant to the taste, and the cheapest medicine in the world. There fore, in truth, it may be declared the day is not far distant when it must be appreciated and used in every household where Fever and Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist.
 The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton ic Syrup in neutralizing the effects of mala- rious poison in the human system, can only explain it's extraordinary agency in the speedy, thorough and permanent cure of Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all their kindred diseases, in whatever form of Bilious Complaints they may make their ap- pearance.
 As its name imports, it is Tonic of rare and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and harmless ingredients, and are so united as to form a compound alike skillful in art, beau tiful in appearance, and can be taken with safety to the most delicate constitutions. It is the result of a lifetime of experience and practice in Southern climate, and was nev- CT known to fail, even where all othe reme- dies had been tried in vain.
 Those who are unacquainted with the ex- traordnary properties of this home produc tion, manufactured from Roots and Plants indigenous to the soil of our sunny South, !" (and kence adapted to the cure of Southern climatic diseases) are respectfully referred to the certificates of respectable citizens whose names are embraced in a pamphlet which accompanies each bottle; also the en- dorsements of the press in all the Southern States, indicating the many thousand cures already performed by our justly celebrated Texas Tonic Syrup.
 The reports from hundreds of Druggists, Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the country, are uniform in stating the medicine is safe, certain aud reliable, as A substitute for Quinine and the poisonous compounds heretofore generally sold, and is rapidly supplanting everything of this class.
 As home enterprise it especially com mends itself to the people of this section of the country, who are now struggling in an effort to do away with old prejudices in favor of foreign produce, and may we not hope foreign .'Quack Nostrums,' the proprietors of which. in most cases, are governed by mo- thing but mercenary motives, know nothing of the properties of Medicinal Agents, and care nothing for our interests, except to en- ,ice our people into the use of their vile mixtures.
 The Texas Tonic Syrup is packed in cases of two dozen.
 Dealers supplied upon better terms than any other remedy affords.

I am doing a pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. l lam free to confess that know of no remedy recommended by the abest authors that is so certain and speedy in it's effects On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is 10 find upon what terms l can get the medicine directly from you. If can get it upon easy terms, l shall use great deal of it. l am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great majority of the regular line of NJ.

For my part, shall make it rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which l may be able to eommand--not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned it's effects first, and secured the sole right to secure tkat knowledge However, l am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostruins that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. l am, sir, most respectfully,
