WALHALLA, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1870.

The history and your early geography are
correct when you view, in the old book, the
s''prairies on fire." and tho buffalocs running
like mad before It, only now substitute the
horses and cattle. The wind being high to.
day, (and, we guess, always, moro or less,
bowing,) VIC saw our old recollections verified
in the burning prairie.
It took two hours, with 81 coaches, omni.
buses, wagons aud carts, to convey the pas
sengers and baggage, &c., across tho Missouri
River, called hero tho "Big Muddy" The
teams, with passengers, drove into tho boats
and out, without unloading; and such stir
and hubbub perhaps, in Bedam, there never
was. Tho depots arc not far from the river,
on Iowa and Nebraska sides. The river is
about ono mile wide in ordinary times, now,
being very full and dangerous to navigate
It has not been so full since 1851, till now.
The Railroad Company are now building an
iron bridge.
Omaha is tho place where Gov. Burt died,
you know, when Governor of Nebraska Terri
tory. Our Doyle also died here. It has
10000 to $4,000 inhabitants, and is an ugly.
and disagreeablc looking place to us.
Wo now close our scrawl ut Schuyler,
the county seat Of Colfax county, rs miles
from Omaha, on Platte River, at 4 o'clock p.
M, and you may not again hear from us un-
til we arrive at Corinne, in Utah, or San
francisco, Cal. We have some four hundred
passengers on board, and as we have made the
acquaintance Of many of them going though
to tho Pacific, may next turn up on that
ooast. Tho wind is now blowing gale, and
the scenery, from here back to Omaha, is
grandly picturesque. The land good, but no
wood In haste, yours, &C., G..

symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
i edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, ac-
comPaaied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought TO have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
Of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de-
ranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR. M'LANE's LIVER Pills, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quiniue, are productive
of the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them A FAIR TRIAL.
