THE CREAM VEGETABLE BLOOD
MEDICINE.

Cherokee Indian Eittcrs possess an
energy which seems to communicate
new life to the system, and renovato
the feeble, faintiug powers Of nature.
Its operation upon the tissues of the
body, does not consist in affecting the
irritability of the living fiber, but in i'm
parting a sound and healthy stimulus to
the vital organs. 1t strengthens sub
stantially and durably, the living power
of the animal machine: is entirely in
nocent and harmless; may be admins
tered with impunity to both sexes, and
all ages and conditions of life. There
is no disease of any name or nature,
whether of young or old, male or female,
but that it is proper to administer it,
and if it be done seasonably and perse-
veringly, it will have a good effect. 1t
is perfectly incredible to those unac-
quainted with the Cherokee Indian Bit
lers, the facility with which a healthy
action is often in the worst cases restor-
ed to the exhausted organs of the sys-
tenn with degree of animation and
desire for food, which is perfectly as
tonishing to all who perceive it. This
medicine purihes the blood, restores the
tonic powers of the fibers, and Of the
stomach and digestive organs; rouses
the animal spirits, and substantially for
titles and teammates the broken down
constitutions Of mankind.

New INSTRUMENTS OF DESTRUCTION.
The Paris.correspondent Of the World
describes terrible new arm in the use
of the French army. 1t is called the
"Grape Revolver A recent expert
ment exhibited its sweeping deadliness.
Three hundred disabled horses were
placed at the extremity of a plain and
two of the smallest of the grape revoly
ers were fired at them. In three minutes
not a horse was alive. The Prussians
also have an Improvement on the needle
gun. 1t is called the wall gun, and can
be fred twenty two times in minute.
1t shoots with great precision, and seems
to be more particularly designed to be
used against the enemys artillery, for
the killing of the men serving the guns,
their horses, and the explosion of ammu-
milton chests, although it may also be
used against infantry and cavalry. The
same correspondent quotes the recent
remark of the N0nte,w, that there are
"cLassepots enough for everybody, and
as for cartridges there are about $780,
600, 900 of them ready TO take fire and
celebrate cette petite tete m;ltaWe.

LET THEM BE CLOSELY WATCHED

The Macon Telegraph & Messenger
speaking of so-called democrats in the
Legislature who may vote to prevent an
election this Fall, says:
"No man can vote to continue his
office and be Democrat. That settles
the question as to his political othodoxy.
The vote on the question will likely be
taken before the Democratic Convention
meets, so the Convention will know who
is who. Let this point be made very
clear. We repeat it: That any man
who votes to prolong the term of Office of
the present so-caIled Legislature, or who
is absent upon any business not provl-
Dental, and, therefore, absolutely ncces-
sary, when the vote is taken, is a Radi-
cal, or as bad as the worst one to be
| found. For such traitors to principle,
and to their follow citizens, to the in
terests Of Georgia and to party faith
there should be, and there shall, SO far
as we can accomplish it, hoaping meas
ure of public loathing and condemnation.
Their names shall be hung in the chains
of an unmcasurod popular scorn, and
their memories loaded with a weight o.
infamy that shall make them a stencil
while time cndures.
We trust we shall have the co-opera-
ton Of every true Democratic journal ii
/ Georgia in the work"

CoNTRETEMPs.- "A slight andprovoking
mistake, or as the Milesian scout of the
Avalanche would graphically call 1t, a
faux paux," occurred on Saturday night
when the racing steamers were nearing
this port. The friends and hackers of
the Lee had provided generous supply
of combustibles and rockets with which
to hail her advent, and were keenly
anxious for her coming About the al
lowed time, if she made the run from
Helena with her accustomed speed, a
large steamer was seen to turn the bend
of Presidents Island, and stand plainly
for this landing. There appeared no
question of her identity, and the jubilant
friends of the Lee, in the fullness of their
JOY, sent up rocket after rocket, and
kindled huge bonfire which illnmined
the Arkansas shore and made the Bluff
seem light as day, disclosing the huge
mass of people gathered to witness the
triumph Alasl for the intended compli-
ment--it was the large steamer Thomp-
son Dean, entirely ignorant of the canse
of excitement, and Captain Pepper jo-
coseIy remarked that he never had such
an ovation in the whole course of his
lifel The blank disappointment and
chagrin of the pyrotechnists may be
imagined. The circus poured out its
multitude to witness the victorious arri-
val, and having partaken of the mistake,
those who had been enjoying the show
resumed their seats to witness the re-
mainder of the performances.
