THE PEOPLES REMEDY.

1t required many years Of iaborious research
into the properties of herbs and roots before
Brandreth's Pills arrived at their present state
of perfection. They take all impure and msrbid
accumulstions from the bowels and the blood.
Their use in sickness saves money, time, and
health. This noble medicine saves suffering, re-
stores health, and pioiongs life. Those who
know their properties have the most unbounded
confidence in them. When attacked by ever so
serious disease as pleurisy, collie, sudden pros
trstien, N.ke., when six or eight pills have been
swallowed, they are easy in their minds And
they have cause, for Brandreth's Pills are no
broken reed.
The Princess Of Wales might have been cured
BY few doses, and all her weeks of agony saved.

College Of Breslau, Prussia, embodying
the result of an analysis of
RAILWAYS REGULATING PILLS.
The Faculty of the College state in their
report that after careful and inmate cramiaa-
tias, they have the honor to state that " the
pills are not only free from every substance
injurious to health, but are composed wholly Of
substances and elements promotive Of digestion
and certain at the same time 10 act favorably
upon the nervous system, &c, &c. They
state, further, that the injurious rurnors set
afoat by the Prussian apothecaries originated
ain a mean spirit of trade jealousy, excited by
the great celebrity attained by the Pills within
a very brief period"

member, DANIEL CARRINGT0N, But
yesterday, we beheld him in the efuil bloom
and vigor Of youth, and alaei to-day, ours
is the sad duty to escort his remains to
the silent tomb. And
Whereas it is due to the memory OF our
departed young friend, that we should give
expression to our high appreciation of his
services, and permanently record the ap-
palling and honorable cause of his death,
which he met in the discharge of duty
voluntarily made obligatory, while bat
tling the devouring element-beneath
crushing walls; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That in the death Of DANIEL
CARRINGTON, the Independent Fire En-
ginh Company bas lost noble and ener-
getic member, one who never faltered at
the post either Of duty or danger; the first
in action, the last out Of It; inspiring
others by his intrepidity, he was pattern
OF fireman. His, loss is keenly felt, and
the moistened eyes of his surviving COM
rades, tell moro trnly than words can, the
sincerity Of our grief.
Resotued, That we extend our heartfelt
sympathies to the family of tho deceased,
in their sad bereavement of a son and q
brother, whose genial smile they will miss:
whose vacant chair will, for many day,
remind them of their loss. But whilst
they and we justly mourn the loss of one
we have right to be proud Of, we also
bow in humble submission to the will of
Him, who alone can comfort afflicted
hearts. -''t
Resolued, That q blank page of our re-
cord book be. dedicated to the memory of
our departed fellow-member, with his
name, time, and manner Of his death in
scribed thereon.
Resolued, That in honor of our late
member, our apparatus and hall be draped
in mourning for the space Of thirty days
RESOLVED, That the Secretary be request
ed to transmit a copy of these resol uticns
to the family Of the deceased, and that
they, also be. published in the Columbia
Daily PhgniT.

Mr. EprroR; The public nay not
know, but it is high time that they
should that q commission has been
sitting for . month OF two in this
city, upon the actings and dcings OF
this faithful oficerlof the State. We
do, not complain that Che acts of
officials, whether State or Federal,
are criticised and examined; but
there is such q thing as propriety and
decency, even in this, Fortunately,
Major Lee is perfect gentleman,
and can stand up against the darts
that are hurled against him.. It is
time, however, that this thing should
end. Governor Orr showed his wis
dom in appointing Major Lee to the
responsible position of Supefinten-
dent of the Penitentiary; and we un-
derstand that Governor Scott, with
equal good sense, sustains him. The
character of Major Lee is too we'll
known to be injured by any thing
that this commission may do against
him. He is the best man that could
be selected for the position, and has
exhibited remarkable scientific and
administrative capacity. Gentlemen
from all parts of the State are ready
to testify as to the skill and ability
displayed by Major Lee. He is
everything architect, builder, ~ su-
perintendent and general manager.
His integrity is beyond question, and
no btl,7i1g upon ii can, injure it.. The
PUBLIC. therefore, will be surprised to
learn, that in this Investigation every
pound of -four and every pound of
beef that is purchased by this gentle
man for his family use, is being in
quired into, and that even his SER
wants have been examined as to Tie
condition Of his ldrder for the past three
gears. Can any thing be more un-
justifable? We know that Maojr Lee
can stand the fire. and will come out
like pure gold. We trust that for the
good of the State, he will face this
persecution, and thus show his ster-
ling qualities; and in the end beat
back his pursuers with shame and
confusion on their heads. The effort
is to torment him into resigning the
place; but they don't know their man.
