Since the exposure OF the attempts made
by certain unscrupulous local dealers, to
palm of their coarse astringents, made
from cheap and impure materials, IN place
of the great national tonic, HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters, public opinion has set
strongly against these empires and their
preparations. Their occupation is gone. or
soon will be. When the light is let into de-
ception it soon willis down. Persons who
trifle with their own health. by using un-
known preparations, with no guarantee to
sustain them, when an established specific.
proven by twenty years experiences to be
exactly what it is claimed 10 be. Is within
their reach, are sure TO repent their temeri-
ty. Many have done In this instance. but IL
Is hoped that the truth plainly spoken has
arrested the evil. In the meantime the de-
mand for the leading protective and restor-
alive medicine of America was never so
great as it has been this season. From the
fever and ague districts of the west, south
west, and south, it is literally Overwhelm-
log, and it may be said of the advices from
all parts of the country Of the cures it is eff
fecting in dyspepsia, bilious complaints, and
chronic constipation, that ''their name Is le-
gion." Every where the sick and feeble seem
to have realized the Importance of ''holdine
fast that which is good" and Of avoiding
what is spurious and dangerous.

HE sickness AT THE CAMP.-Thert
being many wild rumors relative to the
sickness prevailing at the L. s. military
camp in West Jackson, We this morning
made personal investigation. To Lieu
tenant Jordan, DIR. Yeomans and the hospi-
tai steward We are indebted for courtesies.
There are but nine sick at present, and all
eonValescing. The following is a correct
list OF deaths, with causes, from 9th of
September to this date:
Capt. James Kelly, Sergt. Ahern, conges-
tive fever; child Of Martin Kelly, convuI-
s'ons; OF the prevailing fever, Frank MUIR
ply, Sergt Carr Moses Rusbatch, Martin
Kelly, wife and child, Thos. Maloney and
child, Minor Long, Austin Harvey. George
Green.
There has been but one case i'm the upper
division Of the camp. all having occurred
south of the Gallatin road.
The troops were last week moved out a mile
from town. where they will remain until
the sickness at the barracks in town shall
suhside.
We were gratifed to find Capt. l.. h. Ma
hon (the only officer sick i'm most prom
lsing condition, and hope to gee him again
ON duty at an early day.

1t becomes our painful duty to record the
death of CHARLES Il. RUSSELL. after a few
days illness. He died on Sunday afternoon,
and was buried yesterday evening from the
Presbyterian church II not a native OF
our city, he has been among us from early
boyhOod. Naturally OF an amiable DISPOSE
ton, he was courteous and accommodating
to all, and consequently attracted the good
will OF all who came in contact with him
For several years past he filled the position
of station agent of the Vickspurg and Me
ridian Railroad, and gave universal salts
faction in that capacity. Many friends
mourn his departure, but his devoted BROTH
ers and sisters are especially bereaved. In
his decease we have most striking illus
tration of how even blooming youth may
be "snatched away by deaths resIstless
hand"
Charley Russell was not only a useful cit
izen, but he was true as steel in those years
of war that tried the nerves and souls of
men. From the records of the Burt Ri
fies," Go. X, 18th regiment. we find that he
enlisted in this city ON the 9Th June, 1861,
being then in his nineteenth year. He was
an active participant in the battles of the
first Manassas, Savage Station, Malvern
Hill, fredericksburg, Gettysburg and Knox
vile. During other engagements he was
absent on important detached service. OF
the 175 names on the roll of the Burt Rifles,
from its organization. Charley Russell was
one of the few on duty at the surrender, in
April, 1865. He leaves n record and MEM
DRY precious to his friends.

From the Chicago Democrat.
Did our city sin when it rejOiced at the
destruction and sorrow caused by march of
Sherman's army to the sea? L. il a sin that
our city grew suddenly rich from the spoils
and speeulations In carrying on the fratri-
cidal war-a war against our own brothers
Is it a sin that Chicago has led the van In
the crusade against the just rights of thir-
teen States of this U3ion? Even now rs
we write, the white tents of the soldiers are
visible from our winG0w, sent here to pro-
tect us against ourselves and i'm our more
solemn convictions the visitation of Provi-
dence seems intimately connected with the
sin of corruption and perjury in our rulers.
They have again and again perjured them
selves. made unnoly alliances with harlc t.
gamblers and thieves, for the sole purpose
Of retaining political control of the city.
Again, Is IL a sin in the sight of heaven
that our ministers have been serving the
politician instead Of Him that was Cruel
fed ON Calgary2 IL it a sin that the Most
High has been made the abode OF those
wearing gold, diamonds and fine raiment,
In place Of that humble unadOrnment be-
coming 20 the followers OF the humble Nag
arenef Was It q sin that on the 8th Of De-
tober, 1871, 1000 saloons, In defiance Of the
laws OF God and the State, were open and
dealing out the poison that kills both body
and s0als What, o what was our sin. that
Justly deserved such terrible punishment
LIN what have we. as people, sfnned, that
our punishment In kind should be above MI

The POssPOmememI Of state Fair.
In order to correct an erroneous impress

Control present at the meeting on the morn
ing of October 81, in support of the state
| ment which / now make, that | then ear
nestly urged the postponement of the Fair.
am aot a member of the Board. but fully
eOncufred in their view that there seemed ,
b no local necessity for postpOnement. Re-
ports extensively circulated to the contrary,
| together with my correspondence as Secre>
tary, satisfied me, however, that it was ex-
pedient to postpone the Fair and so stated
at the time.
The action finally taken ut my in
| stance, and was based solely upon the wild
and false reports which are still being cir
culated to the prejudice of our city. The
action at citizens meeting, last Monday
night, ought to satisfy any doubter as to
the good health OF jackson but in view of
the reports mentioned, to have opened the
the State Fair on Monday next would have
been to invite certain failure in every de-
partment. Thousands will come, as exhib-
itors and visitors, who would not have been
here next week.
The members of the Board of Control are
anxiously endeavoring to make the Fair
State success, and an active and Jealous CO.
operation is expected from all, and is espe-
eially due from, and has thus far been cor
daily rendered by the citizens of jackson.
The Fairs announced for Natchez aud
Fayette had already been postponed. The
Vicksburg Fair has also been deferred to
November 2lst. And all, in my humble
Judgment, have acted wisely, under the cir
0umstances.
