A Periious Season.

Glorious and delightful us the Summer
weather is, its iropic;,l heat is a severe
trial to the vital powers. Even the strong
est arc sometimes prostratcd its effects.
The common phrase applied to this con-
dition Of the body is general debility. .
Now, general debility arises from, and
includes variety of ailments. The
liver is more or less affected, tho bowels
are either conStipatcd or too much re-
laXcd, tho stomach but half performs the
work Of digestion, the appetite is poor,
and tho spirits depressed. This is what
is cd'gcncral debility. It isa general
disarrangement of.af the physical tunc-
tions, and requires rs q remedy medl-
cine that will regulate them all. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is specially
adapted to this purpose: Its general op-
Grafton is not confined to Il single organ.
# the liver is affected, it restores it's tone.
II the stomach is torpid, it regcneratcs
it. If the nerves arc tremulous and
weak, it braces and reiniorccs them. II
the mind, which ever sYmpathizcs with
tho body, is gloomy and dcspordent, it
relieves the difficulty, and SOON brings
the whole mechanism of the body into
harmony with the laws of health.
There is no civilized nation in the
Western Hemisphere i'll which the utii-
ty OF Hostettcr's Stomach Bittcrs as a
tonic, corrective, and anti bilious mcdi-
cine, is not known and appreciated:
Throughout tho Tropics it is considered,
both by the people and the profession,
tho standard specific. While 1t is medl-
cine for all seasons and all climates, it is
especially suited TO the complaints gem
Grated by the weather, being the ppreSt
and bestvegetable stimulanti in the world:
Beware Of tho Bittcrs made of acrid
and dangerous Materials which unscru-
pulous parties are endeavoring to ioist
upon tho people. Their name Is legion,
and the public has no guarantee that they
are not poisonous. Adhere to the tried
remedy, Hostetter's Bitters, sold only i'll
glass, and never in kegs or barrels.

On the 18th inst, near English's Mills

certain parties, who knocked at the door
Of his house and asked if he was in, but
not waiting for an answer, burst open the
door, and rushing in to the number of fff-
teen or twenty, fell upon the struggling

which they slipped bag or cap over his

They then tied his hands and feet, and
carried him - distance in the woods,
when tlev fir Il. deposited him upon the
ground, ano taxing sticks beat him until
they thought he was dead, cut off piece
of his ear, and untying him left him there.

BosroN, July 81, 1872. &
My DEAR Sir: have the honor to
acknowledge bv this note, in addition to
our conversation today, the receipt of YOUR
invitation to address the citizens of Lynn,
on Thursday evening, in support of8the
reelection of the Grant policy and his ad-
ministration. No invitation could have
greater weight with me from any part of
the country, nor from any portion of my
fellow-citizens, and it gives me great pleas
ure to assure you that nothing could be
added to your suggestions as the repre-
sentative of the citizens of Lynn, to in
duce me to accede to the request. Their
kindness of many Years ago is contlnu-
ing life remembrance, and nothing would
give ME greater satisfaction than to renew
my associations with them; but l regret
to say that I am not in ,ccord with them
in regard to the Presidential canvass.
Against my wishes and personal interests,
I am compelled TO believe and to say that
the perpetuation of the present policy OF
the Government ia not for the advantage
of the country, and that it will not tend
to establish its former good and prosperity
nor to promote the interest of any class of
its citizens. No personal feellng o. anv
form or character enters into Z J. lqdg-
ment.. It is in view of general principles
and public interests alone that 1 om led
TO this conclusion.
The uniting of the masses of people Of
all parties. sections and races in support
of the grand results Of the war, is indis-
pensable to the permanent establishment
of general recognition of these results;
it can be secured by no other roans. We
shall all be forced to this conclusion sooner
or later. This united action on this hasis
has been the hope Of my life. | fervent-
ly desired it during the war and in the
reconstruction of the States subsequent to
the war. l believe it is now rendered IN
good faith in the nomination Of Greeley,
and, for one, I cannot reject it. 1t was
what I desired; its consummation although
sudden and startling. dbes not alarm me.
Ny duty to my country and myself re,
quires me to give him nv support CAN
not advocate before your friends differ.
ent course, which neither my judgment
nor my heart approves. It gnves me
most deeply to separate myself, in thought
or act, from any one of those with whom
have so long associated, and to whom I
am so greatly indebted; but I believe
that the result will justify my action, give
to the country peace and prosperity, which
is tie object of our labors, and secure to
every citizen civil and political equality
and freedom, which was won by the sacri-
fceof so many valuable lives.
Accept the assurance of nv lasting
friendship and esteem, and believe me,

Never was truer sentence written
than this-supposed to be wrung from

Of mind and body which thoy involve.

by anxiety and fear; and tho sufferer is
as incapable of applying himself ener-

The Election in North Carolina.

The election took place, inNorth Caro-
lima, quickly andquietly, on Thursday
last. From thefrst. both parties have
persistently claimed the victory. The
official count is not yet made, but we feel
we are Iuite safe in saying that the Con-
servatives have elected their State ticket
and achieved such victory over Fede-
raj patronage and Federal power as is
unknown in the history of party politics
in this country.
In this election the Radicals were more
than ever powerful and INSCRIPTIONS,
The negroes were compacted into a solid
mass, by the Leagues and the use of
r.oney. There may have been individual
exceptions, but the great body were
moved like machine. Persuasion and
intimidation were employed, as one or
the other was deemed most efficient.
Enormous sums Of money were raised
in New York. and drawn from the
Treasury by public officers under false
nrctexts, to corrupt the ballot box and
import fraudulent voters from the ad-
io;rirr States. Nothing was left undone
that nerverse ingenuity, audacity and
llnaverv could suggest. as useful to carry
tho election.
But oyer ali this the Conservatives
have trinmphcd bravely and patriotical-
". There is a clear and emphatic ma
ioritv in the old North State against
Radicalism. and this majority the Con-
servatives have brought to the polls,
ARaleigh dispatch, dated the 9th. says: {:
All the counties have been heard from
except ten western counties, with vote
thus: Caldwell has gotten even with the
Shipp majority of 1870, and in the re-
naming counties each candidate stands
an even chance. Eight Of the counties
to hear from are in the 9Th district, ano
the eleven counties already heard from
in that district gave Merrimon net gain
Of over one hundred each. Everything
turns upon this, and the Democrats are
hopeful of maintaining the gains. The
Republicans are quite confident, and
claim Caldwells election. The excite
ment is subsiding us the people have be-
come exhausted from excitement.
