We cannot analyze the poisOns that pro-
duce epidemic and endemic diseases; butthe
valuable discoveries which have been made
in vegetable pharmacy enable us to coun-
teract their malifc influence. The most pow
erful known antidote TO every species of
laria is Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, pure
botanical medicine, in which the finest an-
tiseptics, tones, alternatives and stimulants
of the vegetable kingdom are skillfully and
effectively combined. Al seasons of the year
when the atmosphere is surcharged with
miasma, and whenever the specific virus OF
any infectious disease is supposed to be pres.
ent in the air, this famous corrective should
be taken regularly as protective. All who
choose to observe this precaution may bid
defiance to Intermittent and remttent fe-
vers, and in fact to all disorders generated by
foul exhalations or impure water.

TIE Southern circus exhibited in this
city yesterday, 10 the satisfaction OF
those who witnessed the daring feats
performed in the arena. Beneath the
canvass there is an exhibition well
worth witnessing. Josephine sebas
tian, in the bare back act, exhibited a
nerve and daring that commanded adj
miration, especially when il is remeln-
bered that she is yet but child. Jen-
ME Tournour upon the>slack rope won
the plaudits of the audience, but in her
trapeze performance she held the audi
ence in silence by her marvellous pois
ings with the bar in motion, until the
close of her act, when loud and repeat
ed applause greeted her retirement
from the ring. She is indeed a mar
velous performer Romeo Sebastian,
in the principal act of borsemanship,
demonstrated that, as pad rider, he
has but few equals = graceful in his Pc
sition, and turning his somersallIs
with the greatest Of ease. Sanders, the
coutortioDisi, is q sns perf5rner. In
fact all are well up to their parts. Mr..
George Middleton, the manager. is Bpi
only u gentleman in every sense Of the
word, tut an experienced director of
acrobatic combination and deserves
great credit for the efficiency main

WAR OF RACES.

From the telegraphic dispatches re-
ceived in the last few days, 1t would
seem that there IL skirmishing along
the line all through South Carolina. In
Georgetown county, one OF the rice
planting counties on the coast, where
the negroes Outnumber the whites
thirty to one, there has been brisk
skirmish between the rival factions of
the blacks, several being wounded on
both sides. Jones, u very black and II
very ignorant negro, is state senator
from this county. Bowley Is II men,
Der of the house of representatives,
and is chairman of the committee of
ways and means. He is the counter
part of Jones IN both color and intelli.
gence. These two bucks are contend
ing for the leadership of the county,
and have passed from the ordinary
weapons of politicians to powder and
ball. AT last accounts BOwley had the
worst of it, he having to take refuge
In the Jail to save himself. The few
white people in the town of George
town have not been interested in this
struggle, except having the apprehen-
sion that some imprudent action oil
their part might bring down on them
the vengeance of the armed and infu-
rated savages.
Dispatches from Augusta, Ga, of
the 18th inst. represent that there was
considerable excitement in that city
on account of the reports of an antici-
pated fight between the whites and
blacks at Ridge springs, in Edgefeld
county, forty-two miles from Augusta,
on the Charlotte, Columbia and Angus
ia railroad. A party of armed men left
Augusta to aid The whites, and others
were to follow. In this part Of the
state also the blacks outnumber the
whites largely. The dispatch further
says:
Both the whites and black are arm
ing for the fray. There is an uneasy
feeling that Il war of races will begin
in South Carolina. In that event the
white people of Georgia, on the Savan-
nah river, will go to the rescue of the
white people of South Carolina. Arms
and ammunition are being shipped
from this city. Everything is quiet
here, but there is feeling of serious
trouble i'm South Carolina.
1t is bound to come some time. IT
may be smothered again on this occa-
sion, as it has been before, but it is one
of the inevitable events of the future.
1t is an "irrepressible conflict" which
perhaps. Mr.. Seward did not fOresee.

Did the Republican Party Abolish slsy


The "harp of 4 thousand strings" upon
which republican orators and writer's deligh
to play, is the abolition of slavery in the United
states. The people are asked to condone every
possible phase of government for which the
party Is justly responsible and TO wink at in-
competency and corruption ON the part of re
publican officials, both high and low on account
OF the glorious results of the war. The ma
tional republican committee have Just been
playing the same Old tune pretty much as it
has been played during every campaign since
the war. We submit that the thing is grow
ing monotonous and besides it fasifies history
The republican party is not entitled to one
whit more credit for the abolition of slavety
than the rebels of the south. The abolition
of slavery was an incident of the war. and
which ever side did most to bring on the war
is entitled, according to republican logic, to
the largest share of credit.
The republican party in 1856 and 1860 declar
ed through its platform, in the press and from
the stump, that it was not the object or inten-
ton OF the party to interfere with the insttu-
ton OF slavery as it existed in the southern
states. but simply to prevent its extension into
the territories. Mr.. Lincoln, in his famous
letter to Greeley, said that the war was being
waged solely for the preservation of the union
and that If he could save the union by retain
ing slavery he would do so. Nothing is more
certain than that the republican party always
disavowed any intention of interfering with
| slavery III the states; and in clarifying them
selves now for having done so, they only place
themselves in the predicament Of either lyinf
| now or having been liars and hypocrities then
All this self laudation could be treated as st
much bombast, but it is intended and 10
certain extent succeeds in diyerting the atten
ton OF the people from the real issues befor
them, as well as from the rottenness OF tn
| republican party.
