TWENTY YEARS YouNaER.-To say
that hundreds Of maids, wives and
widows look twenty years younger than
they are in consequence If the complex
ional freshness derived from the use
of Hagan's Magnolia Balm, is simply
to state an absolute fact, which might
be promptly verified by direct testi-
mony if ladies were as willing to tell
their ages as to use the best means of
making themselves lovely. Nature
sometimes, but very rarely, crowns the
charm of perfect features with CON-
plexion of exquisite clearness; but even
then time soon begins to make inroads
upon the velvet cheek, the fair white
brow. the ivory bust, the rounded arm.

sary to use daily this cooling. health

for tie collection of debts. results show
it to be a miserable failure. A promi--
ncnt member Of the Milwaukee Bar
told me last year that the heaviest
merchant in New York city said to
him, Il may borrow from you $500,
and when it is due, if choose to con-
test it, though it be plain note of
hand, you had better take fifty cents on
the dollar than try to collect it through
our courts" In New York it is their
boast, that their collection laws are
much more efficient than they are in
the Western States. And yet what
are they good for there, according
to this showing? The truth is they are
good for little else in any portion of the
central or western states, than to breed
pettifoggers, lobby men, and legalized
raseality.

Of the People for Cheatham-

Special 10 the Appeal.l
JACKSON, October IS. = General
Cheatham was received here last night
with great enthusiasm by large con-
course Of citizens, Notwithstanding the
late hour of his arrival. He was es-
corted this morning to the Wing and
Tribune Office by band Of music and
large procession of several hundred.
The Office of the Wing was crowded all
morning by hundreds coming and going,
to show their respect.
There were about one thousand at the
speaking, and fully nine-tenths for
General Cheatham, and very enthusi-
astic. The cry of "nor shook the court
house when General Cheatham asked if
they were going to indorse Johnson and
condemn him for going with his people
and fighting for them.
johnson concluded, making no new
points, except that he distinctly asked
for the Endorsement of the people. 81
doask you to indorse me and my course
JOhnson's whole strength in this
county is in jackson and in the Eighth
district. Both are, however, very largely
jackson overwhelmingly for General
Cheatham.
General Cheatham will be serenaded
tonight. Johnson's reception was cool,
not over six persons meeting him. His
friends were greatly disappointed in the
effect of his speech. Maynard made a
powerful speech, and convinced the peO-
pie of the necessity for standing by the
organization and the nominee. The
Radicals were in force here, and helped
to make the Johnson noise, and showed
plainly their object to divide by making
show of Johnson's strength. The
Cheatham demonstration here was one
of the grandest ever seen in jackson.

spoke.
Montgomery county is united, and
more since the speaking than before if
possible and I say if possible because Of
the few for johnson there are but very,
very few who can be won. They are
original coeka6e-nen, whose patriotism
exuded in wearing eOckaGes, and never
extended 10 any acquaintance with gun
powder; men who heard the watchdOg's
honest bark bay deep-mouthed well
comes as they drew near home too early
in the war; soft-sheiled men who have
only opposed Radicalism because OF
public opinion, and would rather vote
for Maynord than Cheatham, and men
who desire honestly but bli,idly the dis
organization Of the Liberal Democratic
party at any and all hazards. OF these
there are but few, but few who have
already turned TO Cheatham. or are
turning that way as the only chance to
beat Maynard. There is not q man in
Montgomery county for johnson who
can control five votes. They are the
solitary men you find IN every com
munity. There is no JOhnsOnism any
where in the country; il is all in town.
] have delayed writing until the smoke
cleared up, that might give the result,
and it is the avowed change Of a few
honest supporters Of General johnson,
and no change the other way. They
have utterly and bopelessly broken
down after the failure OF Johnson to
create the revolution they expected.
They have claimed two hundred and
ffty votes Of two thousand two hundred.
They viii not get and never could have
got over one hundred and fifty.
viii write again later, as l am now
riding over the country, and viii have
still, as I have already had, good Op-
porulnity to ascertain the sentiment Of
the people.
