The State election yesterday was quiet
and peaceable, although a serious riot
occurred at the polls In Macon between
the whites and blacks. The ARRAY
lasted but a few minutes, when the
negroes left the polls, and they say
they were driven from them by vio-
lence, and not allowed to vote.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the brain
are too intimately allied for the one to suffer
without the other, SO that dyspepsia and despon-
dency are inseparable It may be added, too,
that irritation of the stomach is almost invara-
bly, accompanied by irritation of the temper.
The invigoratng and tranquilizing operation
of Hostetter's Bitters is most powerfully devel-
oped in cases of indigestion. The first effect of
this agreeable tonic is comforting and encoura-
ging. A mild glow pervades the system, the
chronic uneasiness in the region of the stomach
is lessened, and the nervous restlessness which
characteriZes the disease is abated This i'm
provement is not transient. It is not succeeded
by the return of the old symptoms with super
added force, as is always the case when unmedi-
Gated stimulants are given for the complaint
Each dose seems to impart permanent acces-
sion OF healthful IMMIGRATION. But this is not
all. The APPARENT and anti bilious properties of
the preparation are scarcely secondary in impor-
lance to its tonic virtues. If there is an over
flow of bile, the secretion is soon brought within
proper limits, and if the hilary organ is inert and
torpid it is toned and regulated The effect up
on the dIscharging organs is equally salutary.
and in cases of constipation the cathartic action
is just sufficient to produce the desired result
gradually and without pain The Bitters also
promote healthy evaporation from the surface.
which is particularly desirable at this season
when sudden spells OF raw, unpleasant weather
are apt to check the natural perspiration and
produce congestion of the liver. coughs, and
colds. The best safeguard against all diseases is
bodily vigor, and this the great Vegetable Re-
storative especially promotes. ja2-lm

we have not the shadow of a doubt. Indeed, we

pretend to claim for it the mastery over hun

We know that when used in low, marshy coun-
tries, where ague and fever are prevalent, it will
prevent this disease as we'll as billiousness, and
that it will cure all others for which it is
mended, whom regularly taken. We also know
that it is the best tonic ever used by delicate fe
males and teething children, and that it will
cure the acidity of the stomach in very short
time. But it is useless for us to say more about

Then rise WIFI rlcn increase
And for an hour about one shrine and altar
All nations stand at peace
Christmas has come!
And it comes but once a wear
In accordance with the custom of former days,
we once more celebrated the glad Anthem of
joy and praise, on the morning of Christmas.
The blind, after receiving permit from their
kind, generous, and beloved Principal, Capt.
CHAs. d. Mccoy, sounded the tocsin Of merry
Christmas, to the whole Institution, and for
half an hour, in the open air, In front of the
main building, diScoursed sweet music, which
was carried by the east wind over your City
of the Hills"
Whilst the blind pupils knew how to enjoy
their Christmas with music, the Deaf and
Dumb pupils were not neglected. Both de-
partments enjoyed their Christmas week with
as much zest as the speaking and sightseeing
people.
On Tuesday evening the pupils were con-
Quoted into one of the apartments, where a
tree, beautifully decorated and loaded with
confectioneries, sufficient to give all of the 1875
pupils an abundance, was exhibited for short
time and then the candy-bags, lone for each
pupil), were distributed This entertainment
was the result Of private contributions from the
resident officers. This over, the Deaf Mutes
proceeded to one ofthe dining halls. where the
evening was spent 10 merry dances and joyous
games; whilst the Blind passed the hours
equally pleasantly in lively chatting and sweet
music
On Thursday night they had grand ova-
ton. Their tables were situated in two long
rows, and were filled with the good things with
which their kind and benevolent Santa Claus
had ladened them from the various confecton-
cries of your City. Our Principal, las SIR W.

appetites caused ample justice to be done to
the various daiuties. Then they were invited
TO enjoy, In their separate apartments, other
games, dancing. and music-vocal and lnsru-
mental
The whole week passed off quietly and pleas
antly. The pupils declare. with a vim, that
they have had, the past Christmas, more real
pleasure than they ever enjoyed heretofore !;
and they desire TO express thus publicly their
gratitude to all the officers for all the pains
they took to make the recent holidays source
Of enjoyment to them. They also desire to
feel grateful to their kind and mercieul Heavenly
Father for blessing them with so many com
forts In their muteness and blindness.
La conclusion, we wish you q Happy New
Year, and that as your days increase, your
years may be blessed with prosperity and hap
piness. You have noticed in your last issue,

predicted in it, except that mentioned in the

already come to pass
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe,
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Waters shall yet more wonders do:
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root OF tree.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen.
In white, in black in green.
Iron in the water shall float,
As easy as wooden boat,
Gold shall be found, and found
In land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit a Jew.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
