Secretary Of State.

Editors of the Register:
As our State Convention will soon hc
held, think it proper that the claims OF
retrospective candidates should be fully
discussed. Among the few names men,
toned in our party for the office Of See,
rotary of State | recognize that Of II.
W. Brazie, of Fayettc county, who is
strongly urged for that position 10y his
many friends OF his own and adjoining
counties. Only desiring the best and
most available men chosen for our State
officers-men of weight and character
in themselves and who will spare no
efforts for the good OF our cauSc-l beg
leave to say word Of commentator in
favor of Mr. Brazie From his own
people he will bring every endorsement
necessary to commend him to the choice
of the Convention. | shall however
add that he is young man Of clever
abilities, a good lawyer and an ,u.fuach-
ing Democrat, perfectly competent to
discharge every duty to the office he
seeks and one who will labor unceas-
ingly to accomplish the success of his
party and the overthrow of RadicaliSm

Editors OF the Register:
have just received letter signed by
the Committee appointed at a meeting
of the citizens, OF Richmond, Virginia,
making an appeal in behalf of the suf-
ferers in the recent frightful calamity iii
that CITY, with the request to call public
attention thereto. The purpose of the
appeal, as set forth in the circular, Is
10 afford an opportunity to the benevo-
lent of the whole country to give such
assistance as their feelings may prompt.
As the most effective way Of drawing
public attention to this matteris through
the medium of the public press, have
taken the liberty TO ask You to insert
this note. with the hope that the news
papers ofthc State generally will pub
iish the circular, if they have not al
ready done so, or at least give the mat
ter such notice as both necessity and
humanity seem TO demand. There
should be prompt and hearty response
from us to this appeal, and feel con-
fident that the ties Of kindred and asso,
citation existing between the people OF
Virginia and West Virginia, will not
permit the appeal TO be made in vain.
Yours, &c, ". E. STEVENSON.

1.-The House We Live In."

Space fOrbids our speaking of the bones,
muscles lungs, brain, nerves, skim etc. But
consider for Il moment that the average
amount of blood in AN adult il thirty
pounds, or about one-fifth of the body'S
weight. At each beat of the heart two and
a-half ounces of blood are thrown out of it;
one hundred and seventy-five ounces per
minute; six hundred and fifty six pounds per
hour seven and thTce-fourthS tons per day.
All the blood in the body passes through
the heart in three minutes and distributes
the nutritive principle 10 every texture
and the source of every secretion. Now, If
the blood is weak and impure, the danger
of mourning disease is imminent. This is
certain to be its condition, more or less, at
this period of the year. And just here we
are admonished of the superior advantages
of MISILERS HERB BITTERS for cleans
ing and renovatinS the blood. This IL will
always do, and also prevent any disease
arising from impure blood, because ii re-
moves the cause. Begin AT onceIO purify
