DIR. SCHENCK'S
Pulmonic Syrup. Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution.
OF her remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and ii taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to conne the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossi-
BILE.
Schenck's pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle OF opium 1t is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs
liver stomach and BLOOD and thus correct all NOR
bid secretions and expel all the diseased matter from
the body These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate in this way. it is obvi-
GUS they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
Dr. Schenck is professedly at his principal office,
corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia every
Monday and at the Quincy House, Boston, on the
aud 22d, and August 9TH and 10Th.

to the destruction of his influence as tenn perance man, who does not see in it his justification. There Is no young man just beginning course of dissipation who does rot find his downward steps the cas- fer for it. All those who respect and re- were the temperate practices of your life are aggrieyed by it. It has done harm almost immeasurable harm-to a cause which in your heart you love. You have unconsciously put stumbling-block in your brothers way. you have offended many, you have made many weak You have made Q mistake which you can hard ly rectify in lifetime. Your influence has been given to the wrong side in the controversy between the powers of light and the powers of darkness; you have done exactly what the latter most desired you should do. You have given strength to the forces organized against the na- tlonal purity and morality You did not intend to do it.. You carefully made all the distinctions between proper use and an improper abuse; but, practically, those distinctions in this country and under the present circumstances amount to nothing. The license law which you recommend as your cure for drunkenness has been tried Tn many States, and has never succeeded ln one; and so long as the men of the country have not found 8 remedy for the evils of lntemperance, 1t seems to me to be no more than Christian courtesy to bid the women's temperance movement "God speed" am yours very respect fully, J. G. HOLLAND.
 In the same paper Mr. Graham of Jersey City publishes letter from which we extract the following:
 The Archbishop informs the women, of Cincinnati that he ''cannot instruct or preach that it is a sin for day-laborer who has to carry the bod on broiling hot day in July of August mp a steep ladder to the third or fourth story of a building, to restore his exhausted strength by a glass or two of beer." Now, this Arch bishop informs me. as one of your regu- lar readers, that if 1 have any manual la- bor to perform and feel fatigued glass or two of beer will give me strength. This IS not true, for l have tested it when working 90 hours week for several months; and 1 could not work with the same pleasure and ease on beer that I did on tea or water. In 8 large establish ment where there were 1,500 men and boys employed at hard manual labor, I watched closely those who drank beer in moderation for its strengthening properi- ties, and I found that men who never drank beer could work longer and better, with less fatigue. than men who drank beer, and those who had drunk beer, had less physical strength than the men. who never drank it. This I have found to be the case in some of our largest workshops in Europe and America. l am of the opinion that Archbishop Purcell does not know much about manual labor, and much less about beer. If he understood how beer made men slothful and unfitted them for work, he never would preach in the way he has done in his reply to those mo- ble-minded and courageous women of Cincinnati who are waging war against one of the greatest curses that ever befell man.

I, too, may grow faint or may turn aside to false gods. hope not. But this is one of the mysteries of the future. Therefore name your boy some good Christian name-it may be Charles if you will, for that is general-but do not com pei him to bear all his days label which he may dislike. I once met a strong an- tl-slavery youth who bore the name of Martin Van Buren. He was born while New York sat in the Presidential chair, and his father named him after the chief of the land. But the youth did not find the sentiments of the late Mir. Van Bu- with.

The young man who putting behind him the less spiritual rewards of other professions, selects the ministry as the field of his 1abors-drawn to his work by the consciousness that it is there his duty points-is certain to impress us with the purity of his purpose. That he should exert stronger influence over our minds than young lawyer does, or young mer- chant, or young man in any respectable walk of life, is easily understood. But a young man, because he buttons the top button of his coat and wears white neck tie, is not necessarily person of exalted purpose or shining ability. Yet he is apt, without any very searching examination, to be so regarded in some of our provin- cial towns. think the straight-otit black coat must possess subtle magnetism in itself. something analogous to the Qla- mour there is in the unifo.m of a young naval or army officer. How else shall we explain the admiration which we have many time seen lavlshed on very inferior young men.

Much Ado About Nothing.

The Columbia Union Herald, in giving an
account of the homicide on Saturday last and
subsequent events connected Herewith, states
that Mr.. Charles Darling, one of the revenue
officers, had arrived in that city, and then
says: ;. n.,..
very strong against him, and that 1T was only
by strong display of personal courage that ne
was enabled to escape the mob that assembled
at the depot to prevent his departure. Last
evening Collector G. L. Anderson visited the
military commander at this post with view to
have troops sent to Belton. Our informant
states that the request was not complied With.
Sensible conclusion of the military COM
mander, when there is not the slightest neces-
sity for such action on his part. Mr.. Darling
may not be correctly reported, but we have no
hesitation in declaring that the language attrl-
buted to him in the paragraph quoted from the
Union. Herald embodies vile slander upon the
citizens of Bleton. There was no mob at the
depot or any attempt made to molest him or
impede his progress towards Columbia. lie
was asleep in the mail car, and the "strong dis
play of personal courage" must have taken
place in dreamland, not the prosaic and law
abiding town of Belton. 1t was natural enough,
when the news spread that Darling was on the
down train, for the citizens of Belton to assem-
BILE at the platform, but there was TO violence
offered on contemplated, and gentlemen who
were present assure us thatthe whole story is
pure and unadulterated fiction.
The Greenvile News contains similar state
ment about the arrival of Darling at Belton on
Monday morning, and says that the crowd were
quieted by advice of Capt. G. G. Wells and
Maj. Whitner which is not true. We have
seen Mai. Whitner, who seemed surprised at
the exaggerated statement, and declares that
there was no foundation for the sensational
paragraph. He was quietly seated on the ho-
tel piazza, and was politely accosted by con-
stable with the inquiry whether that officer had
the right to arrest Darling. On being told that
q warrant had not been issued for his ar
rest Mai. Whitner replied that he had no au-
thority to arrest Darling, and there the matter
ended
From this single circumstance, which trans
nired at the hotel, and the presence of num-
ber of idle spectators upon the platform, the
whole story has been concocted. We regret that
the orderly and peaceful community ofBelton is
r,ads to suffer in reputation by the hasty par
eoronhs of sensational writers.

THURSDAY MORNING, JULY ls, 1874
To the Taxpayers of Anderson County,

TO the Taxpayers of Anderson County,
Are the people of Anderson County ready to
organize against their oppressors, and willing
to unite in an earnest effort to prevent wrong
and imposition? We give elsewhere list OF
committees, embracing good and true men, who
are requested to organize Tax-Unions in every
township. These committees will need the
eountenance, encouragement and cooperation
of their neighbors, and every honest man
should step forward at once, prepare to throw
the weirht of his influence on the side of good
government.
1t is not the purpose of the Tax Unions tc
elevate any individual to Office or place any
political party into power. Its aims and OBJ
jects are simply to expose rascallty, secure
reasonable appropriations of public funds and
reduce excessive taxation. None can object or
demur to these purposes, except the ring-lead-
ers of the extravagant and corrupt State gov
ernment, with their aiders and abettors, who
are prespering at the expense of the masses.
IF the people are really desirous of obtaining
relief from burdensome taxation, they must
certainly know that apathy, indifference and
tame submission will not remedy the state OF
affairs The quiet aceuiescence of the tax
payers greatly encourages the thieves and
robbers; indeed, it is partial endorsement OF
their conduct when the people neglect or refuse
to organize against them. We can no longer
appeal to the country or its authorities for
suppression of this monstrous evil, unless we
move vigorously and unitedly in an effort to
crush the power of debased and unscrupulous
rulers.
We look upon the Tax Unions as perma-
nent institution, intended to remain in force
until the State government is restored into the
hands of upright and capable men, whose au-
thority will be exercised for the best good of
The entire people, irrespective of race, color or
political afiliation. In other words, it is an
organization to secure the substance and bless
ings of republican government, administered
for the people, and under their direction.
We trust the gentlemen named in each town
ship will appoint an early day for their meet
ings. The most leisure season of the year is
now upon the farmers, and we are satisfied that
proper exertion will bring together large as
semblies. It is highly desirable that the Tax
Unions be organized within the next few
weeks, in order to complete the formation of
the County Union on saleday in September.
Hence there is no time to procrastinate, and
we hope to hear of vigorous and energetic ac-
ton in every township.

EX-GOH. BROWN ON THE ,s1TUA TION

EX-GOT BROWN ON THE jSITUATION
Pursuant to an invitation from the citizens
of our town, ex-Gov. Brown, Of Ga, spoke in
the Court House on Wednesday evening, the
Sth inst. A large and appreciative audience Of
both ladies and gentlemen were out to listen to
the remarks of the distinguished gentleman.
lie was introduced in fitting terms by Hon. J.
P. Reid, who alluded to his gradual rise from
a common station to one Of honor and distinc-
ton. Ex-Gov. Brown arose, and in an earnest
and eloquent manner, protrayed the political
status of South Carolina before and during the
war; saying that since all stiife was over, the
people ought to adopt the situation, and make
the most of it. He advised them to elect their
best and most intelligent men to Office, wheth-
er they liked them or not thereby securing
legislative assembly that would adopt such
laws as would bettor the condition of the State
and it's people. He went on to show that the
interests of the colored man in this country,
was identical with that of the whites; that un-
less both races would cooperate in every re-
particularly in the great matter CT gov
ernment-that no definite result could be OBJ
tanned. He made many earnest and logical
illusions to our present status.
We have heard many speeches since the war
on the situation, but never since the death of
the lamented Judge Orr, have we heard more
sound and solid statement of facts and circun-
stances than those from the lips of ex-Gov.
Brown.

RdUROAD MEETING.

A meeting of the Corporators of the Peoples
Accommodation Railroad was held in the Court
House on Monday last. Col. F. E. Harrison
arose and stated that the object of the meeting
was to organize the corporators under the char
ter, and to appoint commissioners and open
books at different points for the purpose of re-
ceiving subscriptions. The meeting was Or
ganized by calling o. H. P. FAINT, Esq, to the
Chair, and requesting Mr.. G. E. Watson, of
Walhalla, to act as Secretary.
The chairman then announced the meeting
ready for business, whereupon Col. Harrison
offered resolutions which are published in an
other column. Various and elaborate remarks
were made upon the resolutions by Messrs.
J. P. Reed, F. Z. Harrison, B. F. Whitner,
S. NJ. Pegg and J. W. Harrison. Messrs. Reed
and Whtner stated that they did not seriously
object to the adoption of the resolution, and
would not throw any obstacles in the way of
building the proposed railway from Anderson
vile to Walhalla, and from AndersonviIe to
the immediate connection of the Hartwell and
Augusta Railroad. A rather spirited debate
was gotten up, which was entered into with
zest. Distances and shortening of routes were
discussed and from the tenor of the remarks
during the debate, we learned that it was pro-
posed, first, to build a road from Andersonville
to Walhalla, and that as the Hartwen and Au-
gusta Railroad Company were about to COM
plete road from Augusta to Hartwell, that it
was proposed to build connecting line from
Andersonville to Hartwell, thereby having {.
direct line of railway from Walhalla S. c., to
Augusta, Ca, with the branch road to Ander-
son G. H. 1t was further proposed chat the
State of Georgia intended constructing limo Of
road from Andersonville in S. c., to Gaines
vile in Ga, and from there to Kingston in the
same State, and from thence to Decatur, Ala
bama, so as to connect with the great Southern
Pacific to San Diego, California, thereby en-
surng to our people the advantages of the ex-
treme western trade. Whether this last would
be practicable or feasible is not for to say at
present but we should think not, as Ander-
son is not railway centre, and therefore could
not receive any advantages. But we do say
this, that if the people CT the River section Of
our County, and those of adjoining Counties,
wish to profit by this proposed enterprise, why
let them dc it, and afterwards, if necessary, we
will construct the branch road. Until then, we
are IN StGtL quo.
