"A " EnE&sAED1c EseEsEcONs- w e are now at
u that critical season of the year when ex-
cessively hot weather. and the free use of ice
water fruits and vegetables, are most apt to cre-
ate disorders of the stomach and bowels which,
if not checked in time, not unfrequently lead to
cholera, diarrhCea and dysentery. Whatever

excessive heat is apt to produce languor as we'll
as inertness in the digestive organs, and if ma
ture is not speedily aided in the performance of
her natural functions disease must fasten upon
the system. Dyspepsia, one of the most
loathesome and annoying diseases known to the
human family. receives its vitality and gains its
power from dsordered digestion. If taken in
its incipient stages it is easy enough to subdue,
but when 1t once gets fair hold the patient is
forced to endure much before he can get perma-
nent relief. Now, under these circumstances,
we ask 1t 1T is not passing strange that persons of
ordinary capacity become so shorts ghted to
their own Interests not to avail themselves of
certain and speedy remedy when they find
their appetites failing, their stomachs becomng
disordered and their digestion growing torpid

To the Citizens of Augusta County.

In response to a call published in the last issue
of the Spectator, and IN obedience to the wishes
of many of my friends hereby announce my
self candidate for the next House of Dele
gates" II. in view ofthe multiplicity of gentle
men spoken of for this position, Convention be
deemed necessary, l of course, will submit my
claims to its decision if fairly constituted.
In announcing myself | wish to be clearly I'M
derstood upon two questions of great moment
that are now engaging The public mind, viz the
Funding Bill, and the II per cent. clause.
/ hold that an assessment to provide for the
payment of the interest on the Public Debt,
would be mi udicous at the present time, In view
of the fact that ouT farmers-the great tax pay
ing element of the State-are very hard pressed
in consequence of consecutive years OF failure in
their crops the ruinously low prices for all kinds
of farm products and the burdens0me taxation
arising from the manifold levies demanded by
our new system of State Government. L can not
see, as some claim, that the honor Integrity and
material interest Of Virginia are so involved in
the Immediate adjustment of her public debt that
every sacrifice must be made to secure this end !;
but can see that our people, robbed OF their
prosperity, and impoverished by long and ruD-
Gus war, are in no condition to bear the lncreas-
ed taxation that the immediate assumption of
such heavy annual payments would necessitate
in order to meet the interest proposed by this
Funding Bill
The impolicy of the II per cent Clause in our
Constitution is so manifest that it is only neces-
sary to say that it ought to be eXpunged as soon
as possible aud that our next Legislature should
submit to the people the question of Its repeal.
To render my card as brief as possible, pledge
myself if elected to labor earnestly and Jealous
ly for the most vigorous retrenchment in the ex-
penditures Of the State to every effort to
IN season and out of season." as the policy de-
nanded by stern necessity, the Stractest economy
IN the management and application OF the public
funds. CHARLES S. roller,

For the Spectator. I

Mr.. EDIToR--A number of gentlemen from
various parts of the county have been called up
on to represent US in the next Legislature, and
we. of Riverheads Township, having thus far
remained quiet, and believing that we have a
right to at least one representative from part
of the county, most respectfully desire to pre-
sent TO our fellow citizens the name of w ILLIAM
E. SMITH ESQ for a seat III the House Of Dele
gates MIR. Smith has not sought, and, we be-
HeVe does not really desire the Nomination. but,
knowing his patriotic spirit, we feel no hesitan-
cy in saying that he will serve US faithfully.
Being in interest identified with every farmer
and manufacturer of the county, and in every
respect gentleman-cleaF in judgment and true
to the Conservative cause, we advise and ask oul
friends and fellow citizens in the Convention to
support him. GREENyILLE.
Mr. EDIroR-Havlng conversed With many
of my. fellowcOuntymen, during the past week,
on the subject of Legislative candidates. and, as
they pretty generally agree with me as to one,
in their behalf as well as my own, respectfully
call on Nj ROBERT w. BURKE to allow his
name to be presented before the County Nomi-
mating Convention. as candidate to represent
Augusta in the next House of Delegates.
AS the time is short, | have, at the suggestion
of several, stated the substance of the above tC
Mr.. Burke, with the request and in the hope be
would respond tavorably through this issue o.
your paper. CoUNTRYMAN.
To the People of tie County of augusta.
have been solicited by numerous friends from
different parts OF the county to allow the use OF
my name as candidate to represent Augusta in
the next House of Delegates and in reply have
only to say thai, if nominated by Con sentative
Convention, L viii cheerfully consent to run, and
not otherwise.
If, the other hand, others are deemed
by that body better suited for the position at
this crisis, than m self, they will receive my
most cordial and earnest support
l have been from the beginning unalterably
opposed to the Funding Bill, and, if elected a
member OF the coming Legislature, will do al
in nv power to counteract its evils.
have never believed that an agricultural
community could afford to pay more than 6 pei
cent. for money, and will, therefore, if your rep
resentative urge the establishment of that a.
the legal rate of interest, in lieu Of II per cent
as now provided for in our State Constitution
After saying this mu.h briefly, [ need hardly
add that, il honored by a nomination and cleo
ton, member of the House will strive more
strenuously than myself to reduce your taxes to
the lowest fgu g. consistent with the support OF
rigidly economical State Government
