Rev. Philip Slaughter, who, for few years
past, has been an associate editor Of the
Southern Churchmau, has retired from that
position. He is not only an able and learned
divine, but an accomplished and classical
writer. His health precludes the possibility, at
present, of continuing his labors as an editor.
We sincerely hope that his health may be re-
stored, and that he may long live to enjoy the
blessings of this life, and to receive the con
inued respect aud esteem Of his many friends.

ton Instead Of fouling the hair with pasty
sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair from
turning gray or falling off, and consequently
prevent badness. Free from those deleterious

only benefit bur not harm it, If wanted for a

sinking slowly.

Diseases that progress rapidly to crisis are
not the only ones to be dreaded. Canker or
dry rot does not blast tree as suddenly as
stroke of lightning, but unless arrested, it des-
troys it as certainly; and in like manner chronic
debility, although it does not kill with the
swiftness of yellow fever, is as sure to sap the
springs of life eventually as any acute disease,
if not checked by invigorating medication
There is something inexpressibly touching in
the spectacle of premature decay. Languor,
pallor, emaciation, depression of spirits, and
distaste for exertion, are its ordinary symp-
toms, and they should be promptly met by
tonic treatment. The best invigorant and ex-
hilarant that can be administered in case of
this kind is Hostetter's Bitters. The stimulat-
ing principle of the preparation rouses the dor
mant energies of the system, and the strength
ening and regulating properties give perma-
nent and healthful impulse to the vital forces
thus brought into play. The failing appetite
is re-awakened, the progress of digestion and
assimilation are quickened, the quality OF the
blood is improved, the secretions become more
natural, and every organ that contributes to
the nourishment of the body undergoes saluta-
ry change. By these means the repair of the
physical structure is effected and its health and
vigor restored. In no class of diseases has the
benifcent operation of the Bitters been more
marked and striking than in those character
lied by general debility and nervous prostra-
ton. Ladies affected with these ailments find
in this most wholesome of all tonics and correc-
tives the safest and surest means of relief. 1t
is strong to restore and powerless to injure.-
Such is the uniform testimony of "clouds of
witnesses"

Tobacco Trade OF Danville.

The Danville Times of last week says -
The tobacco trade of Danville is increasing
every day. To give the reader some idea Of
the amount of the sales, we will state that
one warehouse (Psce's) sold from the first Of
February to the middle Of August (the pres
ent month"; one million six hundred and five
thousand pine hundred and seventy-nine
pounds. Another (Ho!land's) during the same
time sold one millionasyen hundred and thirty
seven thousand and three pounds. There are
FIVE warehouses in town where tobacco is sold
There can be no doubt that the sales this year,
that is from October to October, will amount
to nine million pounds.

OBITUARY.

Died, at his residence, in Prince Georges
county, on Wednesday, the 10th of August,
1870, after long and painful illness, Colonel
MALCOLM HORTON, in the 74th year of his
age.
The one to whom this tribute is paid was GER
tainly worthy of esteem. Devoted to domestic
habits, his days were spent endeavoring to
promote the happiness of his family, by whom
he will ever be sincerely mourned- and CRATE
fully remembered. His later years were spent
in religious devotions, from whence comes a
sweet consolation to his. bereft family. He
bore patiently his sufferings, trusting that when
the cold hand of death should relieve him OF
his earthly toll, he would be rewarded accord
ing to the promises of the Saviour declared I'M
to the faithful. Heloved his family, his friends,
yet he willingly resigned them all, for that
Glorious Abode, to which he realized he would
shortly attain.
Sleep, sleep rest, thy tolls are DER;
Sleep, sleep on Canaan's happy shore;
There, thou wilt endure no toll nor pain,~
For thou hast gained the Christians gain.

organizing for the next Presidential campaign.
Ia order to succeed they must present a can
didate that will, 10 the main, be acceptable to
the Democracy from Maine to Texas. twill
do the party no good to carry Maryland,
Kentucky and Delaware by large nnajorities
and lose ell the rest of the States In the
eleven Southern States, where colored suffrage
is fixed by the State Constitutions, the colored
vote is, in one or two, in majority, and in
all We believe they hold the balance Of power.
Is it likely that the Democracy can carry one
OF these eleven, If they make such an issue
And can they possibly elect their candidate
with these eleven States cast against them 2
We notice in the address issued by the Dem
ocratic State Committee of North Carolina,
since the late election, that.they pledge to the
colored voters full protection in the exercise
Of every right they possess under the Cousti-
tuition and laws Of the State, and acknowledges
aid and assistance from them 10 the last cleo
ton. This we believe is q fair specimen of the
position Of al. the Southern States.
10 the North, Of the four great States, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, only
one New York; was carried by the Demo-
Gratis at the last Presidential election, when
colored suffrage was one Of the prominent is
sues, and we can see no evidence of any change
in them on that subject. 1t is more than like
ly that public opinion in the North is fixed
on It.
We believe that the old provision Of the
Constitution, leaving the question of suffrage
exclusively with the States themselves, was
the wisest and best, and we further believe
that the ratification of the XVIII Amendment
was obtained from some of the State Lesisla-
lures by force and fraud, but, under existing
circumstances, we cannot see any practical
result Except defeat likely to follow its fur
