year, Mas one Of shossss jaHial. :physi-
cans, whose preseheeis equally sought
in the sick room dis in society, and

it fortifies the body against the external
influences which prompts disease, but
because, when taken as remedy instead
Of as preventative, it neutralizes the
infective principle in the blood and
thereby destroys the primary source of
the ailment. Hence as an antidote to
epidemic disorders, and to all complaints
which are produced or aggravated by
miasma, or the presence Of anything
deleterious in the air. the water or the

THE BURNING OF COLUMBIA. The
question as to who ia responsible for the
burning of Columbia having been revived
by some OF the recent testimony before
the British Claims Commis-
sion, has OF late formed quite promi-
nent topic of discussion in military and
other circles. In military orioles particu-
larly, considerable feeling has been dis
played, and some of the criticisms which
have been passed upon the testimony
placing the responsibility upon the Fede-
ral commanders has not been of the
most amiable character. Military officers
are like other people in some respects,
and are apt to forget, after the lapse of
years, what they may have said and
done when under the excitement and
resentment engendered by armed con.
fiot. -
1t is thus perhaps not to be wondered
at that the military officers here, who are
charged to be responsible for the par
tial destruction of that beautiful city,
deny it with 30 much bitterness. The
testimony before the Commission point
ing to the Federal troops as the parties
who fred the city is corroborated by the
late James l., Orr, who, in n letter from
this city last winter, distinctly states that
he heard Gen. Howard say. that "the
city was burned by tho United States
troops," and that he (Howard) saw. them
fire many houses. a statement has Just
been forwarded here from Mr.. Faliigant,
citizen of Savannah. Mr.. F'alligant
asserts positively that Gen. John E.
Smith, who commanded a division OF
Sherman's army, said to him the night
before Sherman's army left Savannah,
that when they got into South Carolina,
the officers would shut their eyes and let
the men do what they pleased" and that
"they we're going straight to Columbia
and lay the d-n place in ashes" It is
to be regretted that this dispute should
have been again started, but there seems
disposition now on both sides, which ia
perhaps best, that the question of re.
sponsibility shall now be settled beyond
any further controversy.

There is postmaster at Bamberg, s.
c., who, we trust, will be spared the
trouble which might arise from competi.
tive examinations and civil service law.
His first qualification for the position he
holds by the grace of Grant is that he is
an African, adopted, justified, sanctifed
and consecrnted with the life giving unc-
ton Of the fourteenth md fifteenth
amendments. His second qualification
for the Office of postmaster take it
for granted that the Post Office Depart
mcnt considers it qualifcation-is that
he con neither read nor write. He con
fly as easily as he can write his name.
He doesn't know e from taurine pedal
extremity. When he makes up his
mails, he divides the mail matter as
nearly as ho can into equal piles, thrusts
each pile into o sack, and then hands
them ont to tho mail carriers successively
till all are gone. His mails are often re-
turned, but he doesn't get discouraged,
and tries it over again. When lie has q
call for letters and papers, he politely
asks the applicant to sort over the mail
matter and help himself. This must. be
an agreeable state of things, and the
people OF Bamberg must be hardened
set Of disloyalists, if they do not in.
crease their stock of patriotism under
this pressure.

An eminent physician says: "Neyer

your pores absorb. DO not approach
contagious diseases with an empty
stomach, nor sit between the sick and
the fire, because the heat attracts the
thin vapors.
