How inconsistent is human nature. Men
carry revolvers to protect themselves against
rufians in well-poIished cities, where the
precaution is unnecessary, often neglect to
fortify their systems against disease in the
most unhealthy seasons. Thousands Of
dyspeptics aud other invalids are now Ian
gushing in sick rooms, or feebly and list
lessly moving through our streets, who owe
their forlOrn condition solely to a want Of
common prudence. Far more inimical than
the roughs and rowdies, against whose pos
sible attacks the timid arm themselves, are
the morbid elements that pervade the
atmosphere at this time Of the year, and
yet although it is an undenied and undeni-
able fact that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
afford a more perfect protection against
these causes of diseases than any weapon
of offense can afford against lawless vio-
lence, the reckless and inconsiderate con-
tinue TO brave the danger with a positive
safeguard within their reach.
Every day, however, the number of these
martyrs to their own want of forecast di-
minishes. Each succeeding season demon
strates more clearly the inestimable value
OF the Bitters. both as an antidote for the
causes of disease and a specific for its con-
sequences. The miasma which generates
periodic disorders, rheumatism, liver COM
plant, irregularity Of the bowels and other
physical disturbances produces no effect
whatever upon systems toned. strengthened
and regulated by this powerful vegetable
medicine, and dyspepsia, nervous debility,
constipation, intermittent and remittent
fevers, bIliousness, and in fact nearly all the
maladies which the BItters, If taken In
time, soonsd prevent, are cared BY the perse-
/ vering use Of the great remedy.
/ Tho genuine Bitters sold IN bottles only,
and never hy ths harrel. ke9 Or gallon, ~ y

We, the undersigned members of the
House of Representatives, do earnestly pro-
test against the action % the House in
agreeing To the majority report of the
position of the land scrip received by His
EXcellency, Governor j. l.. Alcorn, for the
two hundred and ten thousand acres of
land donated to the State of Mississippi, by
act of Congress, approved july ,, 1862, for
the following reasons:
First-Because the majority does not set
forth the facts, and ITS recommendations are
in palpable violation of the laws of Missis-
sippi and the laws of Congress of the URi-
ted States in reference thereto.
Second-Because the minority report does
embody the facts, and its spirit and mean
ing is TO suggest further legislation on the
subject, that said funds may bc placed in
the custody of the Treasurer of the State
who is bonded officer, and whose duty it
is to keep safely the public funds and ac-

OAKLAND COLLEGE TO BE RE-EsTAB-
LIsHED.-The card which we publish to-day
from a committee of the Board Of Trustees
Of Oakland College, will not fail to attract
the attention of some Of the public spirited
communities of our State. 1t is the unani-
nous sentiment of the Board, and OF the
Synod. that the College be revived. The
property in Claiborne county was sold
mainly because of enoumbranceS in the way
OF mortgages and other claims, and because
il is desirable to secure more eligible and
central location The Trustees are now in
funds to pay every obligation against the
corporation, and will have respectable
balance besides, which with valuable real
estate still held in trust for the College, now
unincumbcred, together with the liberal co.
operation anticipated, would seem to justify
the hope that Oakland College may be re-
established on an enlarged and permanent
basis.

Of good music a rich repast. The

Among the most enjoyable pieces
Of tho programme were the ballads,

I live" by Miss Parish; and the
"Aria speak to me-" by Miss Har-

Under, the caption. Of IAN sAg

Republican, OF Thursday, indites q
cruel aspersion against tour colored
people" It repeats the SANDERS Of
the worst enemies OF the negro,
and making a pretence Of believing
it's statements, illustrates It's posi-
ton by reference to what It calls
1.-TWO notable instances" of colored
men indulging in ~agggressions on
white men. g. j."
No one would more sincerely de-
precate, and more promptly and ve-
hemently oppose and denounce any
disposition on the part of colored
people to assail the white people,
because they are white, than our
selves. But our observation has
not penetrated as far perhaps as
our contem., and our unwillingness
to believe that because in two recent
brawls the oombatants happened to
be one white and one black, there
fore the race Of colored people have
contracted a hostility for the white
people and are exhibiting it in
wanton attacks on unoffending
white people may be the result OF
Ignorance, but the propositions
seem to be too small for the mon
stror1s conclusion, and we fear that
our neighbor has allowed his pater-
nal solicitude for "our colored race
to abide in peace in this land Of
their federation ~ to betray him
into an unpleasant attitude.
The Republican ought to know
that the cry it insinratingly aids is
a false one. It knows that the ne
gro, nor any other race, cannot be
held responsible for the foibles,
vices and crimes of individuals,
supposing offences to be committed;
and it knows that, as a race, "our
colored people" are in no danger Of
contracting any war of races.
