An idea of the horrors attending the
bombardment of populous city may be
inferred from the statement Just made
public of the number Of shots fred into
Strasbnrg during the time it was besieg-
ed by the Prussians. It is shown by the
arsenal check book, that the Germans
threw not less than 232,873 proiectiIes
into the town and the citadel, 1880 of
which weighed fifty pounds each, pro.
pclled by twenty pounds of gun-powder,
while 28. .5l3 weighed twonty y-four pounds
each: The number of citizens killed
was 25O, and it is alleged, by n cores
Pondent of the London Neus, that the
death OF their people had nc other effect
upon the inhabitants than to make them
appland further resistance, instead. as
before, OF opposing it. Their argument
was, when that shower of shells was car
rying desolation into their CITY, to sur
render themselves to people who would
do this. was as dangerous as the bonn
bardment. Subsequent events, however.
showed that the citizens wore treated
with great kindness and consideration bv
the Prussians, when the latter entered
Strasburg.

MILITIA OUTRAaEs IN UNION. Tho
Charleston Ne,os says: We print in
another column a firm but temperate
leading article from the Unionville Times,
containing description of the outrage
GUS conduct of turbulent squads of negro
militia. Armed bands prowl about
Unionville every night, and volleys have
recently been fired into the houses of two
white citizens. This condition Of things
cannot last, and the white people of
Union think of organizing themselves
into military body for the protection
of themselves and their families. So
natural q determination cannot be con-
demned; but the people of Union must,
for their own sakes, be circumspect and
patient. Yhey should not think of taking
the law into their own hands. until they
have exhausted every legal and usual
@eans of obtaining redress for the past
and secnrity for the future. This may
be their position now; but we advise O
last appeal to Governor Scott, who can,
II he will, render the negroes inocuous,
by deprlving them of the arms which
they are using to the injury of Union
County and the whole State. A com
mittee of citizens, prepared to substan-
tlate the statements made by the Times.
might wait upon Governor Scott, and
demand Of him that measures be taken
for the preservation of peace and the
suppression OF disorder. The white citi-
zens owe this to themselves, and it is due
to Governor Scott, who may now be-
willing to extend some consideration TO
the white people of the State.

BE on Your Guard.-The unexampIed
success which for twenty years has accom-
panied the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
provokes the envy of ignorant nostrum- IA on
gers in all parts of the country, and the coun-
terfeiting business having been measureably
played out in consequence of the numerous
suits instituted against the Offenders, a new
system OF tactics has been adopted. In the
South and West especially, legion Of ''Bit-
ters," prepared from worthless materials and
bearing variety Of names, have been got mn
by irresponsible adventurers, with the hope
OF substituting them to some extent for the
Standard Tonic Of the Age. In some cases
country druggists are the concocters and pro.
prletors of these unscientifc and trashy COM
pounds, which are warmly recommended by
the venuers, who endeavor to palm them off
upon tho credulous in lieu of the great spe-
clhc which has never yet had successful
competitor either among proprietary prepara-
tions or the medicines prescribed in private
practice. This notice is intended to put the
public on their guard against persuasions of
parties engaged in the attempt to substitute
mere rubbish for the most efficient stoma chic
and Alternative at present known. At this sea-
son OF the year. it is of the greatest conse-
quence that no tricks should be played with
depressed and enfeebled systems. Ask, there
fore,, for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, tho
great vegetable invigorant and Alternative and
rejecl, with deserved contempt, the worso than
useless medlcys offered in it's place. 1t is as
important to tho pubSa.iqs to the proprietors
OF the famous restoratAIo, that this advice
should be needed Nov 1G f6

shameful usurpations of power for the pur

and that the present odious system is one
dictated by the interests, and for the benefit
of a few manufacturers against the great
agricultural and lsboring masses of our
country; and We declare that the present
tariff is unjust, unequal, oppressive, and
uncomfortable, and that it ought to be revis

strictly to a revenue basis.

support a horde of tax collectors, who are
eating out the substance of the land.
