Bark Ashore.

The new bark T. Jeffe Southwark,
bound for Tybee went ashore Saturday
25th inst, off Trenchards Inlet. After
beating about on the shoals, the bark
went on the north breaker off Port Royal,
where she was boarded Sunday at 3p. M,
by Capt. Early, of the pilot boat Key
stone. About the same time the steam
tug Forest City, came to her assistance.
At s o'clock p. M, the tug abandoned
the ship, the captain of the tug saying it
was no use to try and get her off that
night At p. NJ, Capt. Early tried
to work the vessel off under canvass; at
IL O'Clock the vessel had moved six
hundred yards, wheu she again stopped;
at 10 midnight Capt Early succeeded in
getting the Southwark in eight fathoms
of water, when he anchored. The vessel
was got off without much damage and was
towed down to Tybee on Monday night,
where she was bound for orders.
We regret to state that the pilot boat
Keystone while assisting the bark, lost
an anchor and cable, aud went ashore on
the breakers, rendering her at present
unseaworthy.
the Keystonc's crew were aboard Of
the bark assisting the vessel, the pilot
boat had been left at anchor as Il light
to direct the movements i'll getting the
bark off. The skill and perseverance Of
Capt. Early doubtless saved the bark
from total wreck as before the next tide
made the wind had shifted to the south
and west rendering it impossible to so
work her canvass as to get her of, il
delayed until then.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Postmaster General CresswelHs Panic
ish Government Saw
tngs Bank and the Postal Telegraph.
BALTIMORE, Oct. II.

BALTIMORE, Oct. II.
At a republican mass meeting held
here to- night, PostmasterG General Cres-
well advanced his ideas Of postal savings
banks which, it is understood, will be en-
larged upon in his annual report. He
spoke OF the only fault Of the national
banking system being that the depositor
is not equally protected with the bllhold-
er, and said that government might,
through his department, provide the
machinery whereby the laboring masses
could have the fruit of their toll protect
ed from lawless speculation and guarded
with absolute security. He contended
that by this plan every suitable post Of
fee could be used to receive del osits of
the people and transmit them to the
department at Washington, to be invest
ed, under the direction of designated Of
ficers, in the bonds Of the United States.
BY this arrange ent the security of de-
positors would be based upon the foun-
dation stone of the republic. In times
of panic people, instead of boarding
means, would place on deposit with the
government, to be invested in govern
ments and loans and then sent into cir
culatlon. Like water, currency thus fur
nished would flow to points of the lowest
depression, and tend to correct all de-
rangements of circulate n, however
caused. Thus the people would be served
by the security of their investments,
government would be served by the
meaus placed at it's disposal, and the
banks and capitalists would be served be-
cause of the tendency to prevent the
boarding of the currency of the country.
IL am aware he SAID, ''that this
plan will meet with opposition from some
banks and capitalists, who would COM
pei people to deposit with them upon
their own terms, and thus afford them
the use of so much additional capital !;
but let it be remembered that | am not
speaking in the interest of banks or cap
alists; l am speaking for poor people
who are to be protected, and not in be-
half of the banks, many of whom have
given notable instance of the mannerin
which they can violate their promise to
pay. But why should the banks COM
plain? In addition to their chartered
privileges, government has recently in
terposed in their behalf. By the act of
June 8, 1872, the banks were authorize
to deposit for their better security their
United States notes in the national treas
ury, receiving therefor certificates of de-
post which might be counted as part
Of their reserve used for clearing house
purposes, and converted at pleasure in
the place where deposits were made.
Under this law the treasury of the Uni
ted States has been used as place of
safe deposits for the banks to the extent
of millions Why, then should it not be
used with equal propriety and to the
same extent for the security of the mass
es of the people?'
| Mr.. Cresswell argued that the post of;

The Oranges and Port Royal.

Last week an important Grange meet
ing was held in Atlanta, Georgia. The
subject of direct trade as means OF
emancipation from the dominance OF
New York in the money markets OF the
country was under serious discussion.
Upon the announcement being made
that line Of European steamers had
been secured by Mr.. D. f. Appleton, to
run between Port Royal and Liverpool
it was resolved that the Atlanta grange
would send 5000 bales of cotton by the
Port Royal Dominion line direct to
Liverpool during the present season.
This resolution is, we hope, the in
dication Of a widespread feeling in the
south and west. With such material
and moral support the future of Port
Royal is assuredly brilliant.

rHfsICiANS A,D DRUGGISTS.

A prominent New York physician lately COM
nj lined 10 DUHpAs DICK about his SnddiUOJi Oil
Cpsules, stating tha! sometimes they cured miracu
ouSy but that patient Of his had taken them for
some time without effect. On being informed that
several limitations made and sold, he inquired
and found that his patient had been taking capsules
sold in bottles, and not DUNDAS DICK & cos.
What happened TO this physician may have hap
pered to others, and DUNDAS DICK & co. take
this method of protecting physicians druggists and
themselves, and preventing oil Of Sdnddir0od from
coming into disrepute.
PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the Capsules
will continue TO do SO, for they contain the
pure Oil in the best and cheapest form.
DUNDAS DICK & co. use more I'll Of Sandal
uood in the manufacture Of their Capsules than all
the Wholesale and Retail Druggists and perfumers
In the United States combined, and this is the sole
reason why the pure oil is sold chea per in thoir
Capsules than in any other form.
OIL OF SANDALwoOD is fast superscding ev-
cry other remedy, sixty Capsules only being required
to insure saf and certain cure in six eight days
From no other medicine can this result be had.
DICKS SOFT CAPSULES solve the problem long
considered by many eminent physicians Of how to
avoid the rausea and disgust experienced in swal-
lowing which are well known to detract from if not
destroy the good effect Of many valuable remedies
Soft Capsules are put up In tin-fo and neat boxes
thirty in each, and the only capsules prescribed
by Physicians.
R5-These were the only Capsules nd.
