During the month of July there was shipped per

and for the month Of August 1859 bbls -four "a 2ls
sacks of oats, and an immense amount OF corn, etc.
and we suppose that even the above figures under
the actual amount from the fact that or two steam
ers have yet returned their outward bound man
fests. The barges continue to depart weekly, with
large lows of freight and the Atlantic and barges ieav-
ing this day will have full cargo The river here con-

There is no mistake about it, Plantation Bit.
tiers will ward off fever and ague and all kin.
dred diseases, if used in time. No family need
suffer from this distressing complaint if they
will keep Plantation Bit,ers in the house. and
use it according to directions The most imp
tant ingredient of this medicine is Calisaya or
Peruvian Bark which is known to be the finest
and purest tenic in the vegetable kingdom. The
extract OF this bark is the active principle of all
the good fever and ague medicines prescribed by
intelligent doctors. Calisaya bark is used ex.
tensively in the Manufacture of Plantation Bit
tiers, as well Ms quinine, and we dare say they
owe their popularity mostly to that fact We
can recommend them.
