HooFLAND's GERMAN BITrERs.

A Bitters without Alcohol or Spirits of any kind,
Is different from all others. II is composed of
and Rdrks, (or as incidentally termed Extracts,)
the worthless or inert portions of the Ingredients
not being used. Therefore in one Bottle Of this

virtue as will be found in several gallons of or
dlnRry mixtures. The Roots, &C., used in THIS
Bltters are grown in Germany, their vital prin-
ciples extracted in that country by a scientific

any but n beneficial effect.
HooFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC,

when some alcoholic stimulant Is required in

The TRIANGULAR FIGHT IN Ten
NEssEE.-In Tennessee, the candi-
dates for Congressman at large, are
Ex-President Andy johnson, Gen.
Frank Cheatham, and Horace May
nard. Gen. Cheatham is the regu-
ular Democratic nominee, Horace
Maynard is the Radical candidate:
and the Ex-President is the indie
pendent candidate, or, as he claims,
the "people's nominee" in contra
diction to Gen. Cheatham, who,
Andy holds, is the nominee Of a
packed convention.
These candidates are stumping
the State, and notunfrequently they
meet in wordy war, and then fol-
lows a triangular square fight.
Recently these three met at Bristol,
Tennessee, when there ensued a SIX
hours political debate.

Death of DR.. Thomas Lake.

The numerous friends Of DR.. Thos.
Lake will hear with deep regret OF
his death. This sad event took
place at his residence near Ninety-Six,
on the morning Of the Gath of Sep.
tember. His health had been failing
for several months, and for several
weeks his family and friends had fear.
ed that his end was near at hand.
He had completed his Goth year,
and leaves q widow, 5 children, 2
grandchildren and q son-in-law to
mourn his loss, and revere his memo
ry.
DR.. Lake was one of our most use
ful citizens. A devoted husband and
Father, a sympathising physician, a
friend to the poor, and an honest man
in the strictest sense of the word.
He died as he had lived q consistent
member Of the Baptist Church, and
by his daily walk and conversation
adorned the doctrines Of God his Sa-
viour.
His funeral was preached at Eel
lowship church by his bosom friend
Dr.. J. G. Furman, of Grecnville, be-
fore large congregation of sympa-
thising friends, and his body now
rests in the grave yard there to wait
the sound Of the archangel and trum-
pet of God. 1t is truly sad in these
times of melancholy and gloom TO
sec our best citizens taken from US. x

SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

We arc indebted to our friend, Mr..
W. Joel Smith, for q copy of the
Wilmington Evening Post containing
an account of the accident on the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad on
last Thursday night. Four of our
townsmen, Messrs. T. P. Quarles, W..
Joel Smith, J. F. G. DuPre, and J. W.
Trowbridge were on tie train, and
the two former were seriously injur-
cd, the two latter escaping unhurt.
They were all in imminent peril
of their lives, and it seems to be prov
idential that their injury was no
greater. AS it was, apart from the
bodily injury, the danger was enough
to have appalled, the heart Of the
stoutest. We congratulate our friends
upon their narrow escape, and trust
that they will long live to make
many safe trips to the centres of
trade.
The passenger and sleeping cars
were thrown off the track by reason
of a removed rail, and being prccipi-
tated down a trcstle brid &c, were
overturned. 1t occurred at night,
when tho train was running at a
rapid speed, and the cars full, and the
inmates asleep. After waiting some
time the passengers were brought on
to Wilmington, when some thirty
seven were found to bo moro or less
injured.

MIR. Greeley's Speeches.

The public journals of the coun-
try, Of every shade of opinion,
Liberal and Democratic, have been
outspoken in their eulogy Of the
speeches of Horace Greeley, made
during his recent tour. Some
might have been disposed to doubt
at first, the propriety of Presiden-
tial candidate making speeches at
all, but the character of the speech
es themselves, their frankness and
boldness, coupled with rare wisdom
and moderation, have removed all
doubts on the subject. The sage
has shown himself in his true
colors, as a man of ability, of prac-
tical wisdom, Of elevated principles
and patriotic purposes. He has
been frank, for he has had nothing
to conceal, and has met with manly
boldness all the great issues of the
campaign. At the same time, he
has displayed rare moderation, and
has discussed the questions of the
day with the philosophic spirit OF
the Statesman, and not the narrow
sectionalism and bitter acrimony of
the partisan. Brief, simple, and
unstudied, his speeches have varied
with the occasion, and, flowing
spontaneously and with abundant
fullness, they have been ever ready
and ever pertinent. He boldly
meets the labor question an Cincin-
natl, and the negro question at
Louisville, and calmly speaks the
words of truth and soberness. To
the Kentuckians he says they must
educate the blacks, and tell the
colored men: "We proher you
nothing except the protection Of
the laws the same for you as for
us; you have your living to earn as
we'll as we; you will have to use all
your abilities, all your energies, all
your faculties, and make the most
of them you can. The laws do
not favor you, but they will thor
oughly protect you, and in three
months, if we succeed, the colored
people will be so disabused that the
same men can never deceive them
again-never again -. IL.

COTTON WEIGHING IN AUGUSTA

COTTON WEIGHING IN AUGUSTA.
The augusta C0nstitutionalist makes
the following statement with regard
to the complaints of cotton planters
concerning the disparity between
their home weights, and those
which they are forced to accept
from the Augusta cotton buyers.
AS the .Adrerhser remarks, "Whose
scales are correct, or why the great
loss to the planter, we know not
and yet we should not censure the
Augusta weigher unless we well
know that he is in the wrong.
Augusta has long been noted for the
high character and fair and hon ora
bic dealing of its merchants, and
we cannot think any of them would
knowingly wrong the planter
"There are some of our planters,
we fear,: who entertain erroneous
ideas as to the fairness Of the cotton
weighers in our city, and some
there are who believe that ware
housemen connive at false weights.
A simple statement as to the facts
of the case should be sufficient to
disabuse their minds. Every scales
man or weigher Of cotton in every
warehouse in Augustais is to a certain
extent a sworn officer Of the city,
every one Of them is required by
an ordinance Of the city before en-
tering upon the discharge of such
duty to their employer, to subscribe
to an oath before a competent otti-
Ger, to see that true and just weight
is given in every instance, and very
seldom does buyer or commission
merchant ever see the cotton weigh
ed into or out of the warehouse.
The greater the weight Of the cotton
the more, generally, does the seller
receive for his services. In many
cases, where cotton has been in the
weather, and became damp or wet,
the salesman must be the judge OF
how much should be deducted, and
there may then be, and often is, a
difference of opinion ; but we know
that the cotton weighers in Augusta
are conscientious men, wholly with
out self-interest as to the weights o1
cotton handled by them, and we
believe the warehouse and commits
sion merchants of the city have nc
superiors in the world for honorable
dealing.

THE PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECT.


Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana,
and Ohio, has awakened an enthusi-
asm in his behalf very similar to that
which greeted the announcement OF
his name at Baltimore, as the Presi-
Dental candidate, and has very ma
terially frightened his prospects OF
success in the contest which is to be
be decided on the 5th November next.
The large crowds which have assem-
bled to meet him, and the warmth OF
his reception show tho strong hold
which he has upon the popular heart; ;
and the patriotic, and spirit-stirring
addresses in which he has pleaded in
behalf Of reconciliation and reform,
must strengthen still more the popu-
lar love and: admiration. In these
speeches he is giving additional evil
dence, if such were needed, that he
is no visionary abstractionist, but a
sractical statesman of the first order,
who is urging, the only policy which
can heal up the ugly wounds OF the
late strife, and give the country peace
and lasting prosperity. But that he
is opposed by an. unscrupulous gov.
ernment, with 100000 ofice-holders,
and the United States treasury at its
back, there would be no doubt of his
election, but even SIT isthe prospect
is very encouraging, and each day
seems to furnish new hopes Of sue
cess. ...,ss mo
1t seems to be generally conceded,
that the result of the Presidential
election will depend upon the result
of the State election in Pennsylvania.
Gas goes Pennsylvania to goes the
Union,", has grown into proverb,
and past history verifes it. In 1856
she turned the tide Of victory against
Fremont.in favor of Buchanan, Civ
ing to the Democrats. at the State
election. a slender majority of 1000
in a popular vote of half million
her example was followed by Indiana
and these October elections were
generally regarded as settling, as in
fact they. did settle, the Presidential
issue in November. As in 1856 so
now there are disaffections in the Re-
publican ranks, through which the
chances are good of carrying the
state for Greeley. One Of the two
cliques of the Republican party with
Senator Cameron at it's head, has nom-
mated State ticket, which is so dis
tasteful to the other clique, that the
latter is moving heaven and earth to
defeat it, while conteading that its
overthrow will not effect tho success
of Grant in October. Among such is
Forney and the other supporters of
Grant. But the result will likely
show that the election of Buckalew,
the Democratic candidate, will ensure
the success of Greeley in November.
The late accession of Andrew II. Cur
tin, popuIsr war Governor Of Penn
sylvanin, to the Liberal ranks, is gen.
orally regarded as making certain
the cause of Liberal Reform in the
State election. The Liberal party is
said to be thoroughly organized in
the State, and with their eyes fully
open to the acts Of theio opponents,
will not be sparing in the use of
means to resist them. The issue of
the 9Th of Ottober in Pennsylvania,
will foreshadow as it will decide, the
result of the 5!h November.
