II all the ailments, bodily and mental, which
torment the human family could DC traced e
their primary sources, IL would probably be
found that thre -f0urths OF them originated in
the failure OF the stomach and the other organs
by which the food Is converted into nutrimeni
and applied TO the purposes Of life, TO perform
the tasks allotted to them by nature, vigorous
ly and regularly. This being the case the
vast importance OF a medicine which compels
these organs TO do their whole duty, thorough
ly and efficiently, becomes at once apparent.
Hostefter's Stomach Bftters may be truly
characterized as a preparation OF this kind, in
deed as the only one which can be implicitly
relied on as combining the properties Of a
stomachic, an alternative and an aperient in
such proportions as TO produce simultane
ously the desired effect upon the disordered
stomach, liver and intestines. This conelu-
sion is warranted by the celebrity and certainty
with which the Bitters afford relief in chronic
cases Of dyspepsia, torpidity CT the liver and
constipation. The false idea that these CON-
plants and others that grow out OF them,
could be cured by fierce cathartics, has at last,
IL is hoped, been thoroughly exploded. The
sick, during the last hundred years have swal-
lowed thousands Of tons Of mercury, scammo-

renovation, as embodied IN Hostetter's stom-

OF prostration, as represented by mineral sali-
wants and furious purgatives, the latter has
steadily and surely fallen into deserved con-

A CARD.
BROWNSVILLE, Oct. 10, IA.

BROWNSVILLE, Oct. 10, IA.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:
Gentlemen: noticed card in your
paper of the 9th. signed by r. Ham
ilton, agent of the Weed Sewing Ma
chine Company, which feel it my
duty to reply to, as it makes several
statements as to Mr.. Fred R. Foote.
Mr.. Hamilton says Mr.. Foote applied
to him for a situation to sell the Weed
Sewing Machines in February until
the last of June. l was a partner of
Mr.. Hamilton, and instead of Mr..
Foote applying to US for g situation,
we, Hamilton and myself, applied to
Fred Foote to work for us. After ten
days or two weeks we induced Mr..
Foote to enter our employment. Mr..
Hamilton says also, that MIR. Foote
violated two written contracts of his
own making, Mr.. Fred r. Foote vio-
lated no contract while in our en-
ployment, and his business was per
fectlv satisfactory. Mr.. Foote left our
employ when Mr.. Hamilton and my
self dissolved partnership, then Mr..
Hamilton induced Mr.. Foote to sell
machines for him. Mr.. Foote i'm
formed me- at the time he would work
for Mr.. Hamilton until he could COM
plete other arrangements he had in
view. Mr.. Hamilton says he dismiss
ed Mr.. Foote from his employ for his
sharp yankee tricks. 1t seems strange
if Mr.. Foote is the person Mr.. Ham
ilton would now make him out TO be,
that the General Agent for the Weed
Company, Mr.. Branden, would have
come to jackson and remained three
days, trying to get him, Foote,) to
take q general agency for tire Weed
Company.
In conclusion viii say, Hamilton's
card of the:9th, must have emanated
from Is UraIn bordering on despera-
ton. Respectfully,
T. SPARKS.

MIFFLIN, Tenn, Oct. 20, IA.
After weeks silence again send you
a short communication for the columns
of the Wing and Tribune. Nothing
of very great Importance has trans
pred since my last. The health OF
the country still remains remarkably
good. BUSINESS in our little town is
very good considering the financial
crisis, aud the prospect for the better
is hattering. Mr.. Il. L. Beaver, OF
the firm Of Beaver, Carver & Co, has
returned from st. Louis. Mr.. H. G.
Ashcraft, of the well known firm OF
Ashcraft & Co., is now in Louisville,
purchasing a large stock of fall and
winter goods. On Monday last the
aspirants for congressional honors-
Genl Atkins and Hon. T. O. Muse
addressed a large assembly at this
place. On Wednesday following, Mr..
Ed. Timberlake and his opponent,
Mr.. Anderson addressed large audi
ence in the Masonic Hall in this town.
Mr.. Timberlake is young man OF
fine ability and will make brilliant
canvass. On Saturday last, Mr.. T.
Paine, who is candidate for the Senate,
made a forcible speech, and Professor
Lewis, his opponent, failed to meet
him.
We had the pleasure of visiting the
Miflin Male and Female Institute,
under the supervision of Prof. DAVIS,
and found it in prospecting condi-
ton. Prof. DAVIS came among us an
entire stranger, and commenced his
school under embarrassing circum-
stances, but has since built up a
school of high merit which is giving
universal satisfaction to all its pa
irons.
Col. W. W. Gates. of the Hender-
son Advocate, was in our town a few
days since, looking after the interest
of his paper.
Since the recent change Of the
weather, we have noticed several of
our old bachelor friends shivering and
wishing that the matrimonial market
was more brisk. Poor fellowsl for
them We drops tear. More anon.

1 have not seen anything in your
paper from Our town IN some time. I
will write you line or two, that you
may know something about what we
are doing IN these parts. suppose
you have heard of hard times and
short crops, until you have got tired
of recording such news; but it will
apply to us as well as other places.
Our crops of corn and cotton will not
make more than one-fourth of ali av-
erage crop; but Onr farmers have
sowed largely of rye AMI winter oats,
which will help out the short corn
crop in the winter and spring consid-
erably, and turnips for he stock and
table. We had beautiful rain last
Friday, which makes our rye and
turnips grow finely, and put the
ground in good order for wheat SOW
ing, and we have taken advantage of
the opportunity, and most of us have
commenced sowing this valuable grain,
which we hope viii he, us out in the
way OF bread, sooner than We can
make another crop of corn
Our candidates, Rice and Hurt,
made speeches here or Monday last to
a small, but attentive Audience. They
will carry our district Utmost unani-
mously.

Appeal: In the following extract,
which we copy from a circular issu-
cd in East Tennessee in 1866, Mr..
Maynard appears in his true colOrs
as an original abolitionist and mis-
cegenationist, willing to sink his
race in that of the negro for the
sake of perpetuating himself and
his party in Office. 1t is.an extract
from a speech made by the Radical
candidate for Governor at Athens,
on the 21st of Aug. 1866, when he
confessed:
I am an abolitionist, and have al
ways been one. l was accused of
being one when l first immigrated
to the State. The charge was just;
1 was full and running over with
abolitionism, but I denied 1t for
policy's sake. 1 am proud to-day
that | have been classed among the
prosecuted set, and deem it the
highest compliment to be denoune-
ed as such. And l tell you, gentle
men, that in a short time ali this
complaint about negro equality VIII
be done away with. Some months
since, and it was said that the ne
gro would not be suffered 10 testi-
fy in your courts-that his oath
would not be granted him. But
how stands matters to-day? He is
not only permitted to testify in
your courts with impunity, but
there is every evidence that be will
be on n social equality with the
white man in your State. Yes,
gentlemen, in a short time be will
marry and intermarry in your fam
lilies. 1t is a little Objectionable
to-day, but you will soon get over
this, and the prosecuted negro will
be welcome to your parlors. This
will be the result of the political

having q wife and seven children
dependent upon him for support.
Near OwensbOro, Kentucky, where
he had been labOring for forty cts.
pes day, times got so hard that he
was suspended from the work he
had on hand, and though he had
sought work elsewhere all his eff.
forts had proven futile. Starvation
at last stared himself and family in
the face, and having only one re-
source left him, as he believed, he
came on down toward Hartsford,
kentucky, and in its vicinity stole
the mare. Martin was committed
for investigation.
Chattanooga Commercial: On
the festival of St Luke, the Evan
gelist, Sunday the 18th of October,
the beautiful memorial church,
erected at Cleveland, by Mr.. Jno.
G. Craigmiles, TO the memory of his
little daughter Nina, who was kill
ed on St. Luke's day three years
ago, was consecrated by the Ri.
Rev. c. T. Quintard, Bishop of the
Diocese, assisted by the Rev. G. c..
Parsons, Rev. Mr.. Dubose, Rev. Il.
II. Sneed, and Rev. Chas. Gray
The Bishop, preceded by the cler-
gy, repaired to the entrance of the
church, where the keys were han
ded him by the wardens. After
entering the church, Mr.. Craig
miles presented him the deed. The
church and lot, except the portion
on which the family mausoleum is
to be erected, was bequeathed to
the Convention of Protestant Epis-
copal Church, to hold in trust for
the members of ST. Luke's parish,
as a place of worship forever. The
pews are never to be sold or rented,
but are TO be held free TO the wor-
shippers forever.

1t win be seen by a paragraph ta-
ken from a speech delivered by Hor-
ace Maynard in 1866, only eight
years ago, that the said Maynard, ac-
cording to his own confession, was
not averse to miscegination, and
that his life for years previous to
the infamous utterances then made
for the first time, had been an acted
lie and that he was a conscious hyp-
ocrite. Read what the half-breed
says, and then vote for him if you
can. A man who under any circum-
stances could talk like Maynard,
places himself outside of the pale of
the worlds great race, and should
be made to herd with savages and
slaves.

TRIBUTE TO GEN. GRANr.-His
generalship consisted in the fact
that he would fight. Had he been
nut in the war at the time McClel-
Ian was his career would have been
brief and disastrous but bloody. As
it was, he lost moro men IN his
march from Washington to Lee 5
surrender than Lee had under him.
There is a sort of subdued power IN
the mans face, however, that Is re-
markabie. Without a particle OF
that magnetism that wins while 1t
controls, his look exeites q feeling
more akin TO fear than respect
There is, as it were, a smouldering
fire in his dead eyes that men gen
orally do not care to disturb. We
pass him almost daily when in town,
as he slouches TO and fro before
the Executive Mansion, with his
hands behind him, and note his
rounded shoulders, thick-set and
ungainly form, upon which the
clothes hang as if purchased at a
slop-shop; his bloated red face,
from which not the slightest ray of
Intelligence emanates, for the eyes
those windows of the soul-next
10 those of the late Louis NapOle-
on, are the deadest eyes ever given
to a human being, and he reminds
Us of an Unconditional and not

would be dangerous tOpoke a cane.

The OUTRAGE BUSINESS. This here
tofore profitable branch of Radical in
dustry utterly failed in the October
elections. In Indiana the Admins
tration organs were requested in pri-
vate circular from the State commit
tee, to devote a good deal of atten-
tion to Southern outrages until the
election was over That they did so
there is abundant evidence, but some
how or other the mill clogged and
forbore to grind. It was apparent
that i'll those Southern States where
the whites we're clearly in the ascen-
dent, there was almost perfect peace.
Virginia was quiet, and so were Geor-
gia and Texas. In Kentucky and
Missouri there was violence and out
lawry, but there was nothing politi-
cal in it. In Tennessee there was
nothing to disturb the ordinary quiz
ct, except the Gibson Jail breaking
On the other hand the Radical States
were clamerous for troops, and there
the disturbances were said to be
greatest. Where the whites were
strongest the blacks were most Sc
cure, and where the latter were strong
est they were said to be most inse-
cure. Sensible Northern people saw
from this that reconstruction was a
failure, and that white supremacy
was most favorable to the security of
the inferior race. They believed,
moreover, that the most cruel outra-
ges of the South were committed up
on the white race, as a race, by usurp-
ing State Governments. 1t was hard
for Indiana newspapers to make
their readers believe that gray-haired
merchants of New Orleans, would.
turn soldiers and so out into the
streets to meet with ready fire
and sterling steel, the armed troops
of Kellogg, backed with bayonet and
canister shotted cannon, unless thew
were suffering that degree of oppres-
sion required to make wise men mad.
When we heard of the insurrection
that made the 14th of Sept. memora-
BILE, we did not share in the fears ex-
pressed by our friends that the cause
of the South would be injured. We
thought that the Toledanos and the
Lindseys of New Orleans, with the
red coinage OF their hearts, had paid
at least a portion of the purchase
price of the freedom of Louisiana. In
this We were not mistaken. The peo-
pie of the whole civilized world, knew
from their acts that they had been
deeply wronged, for when a man dies
rather than submit to further oppres-
sion, his sincerity cannot be doubted.
The outsage business is over, and we
can hear the whispers of the breath of
better times. Let no man who claims
to love the South, or to love ANYTHING
worth loving or living for, do aught
to postpone the day when the liars.
whose business it is to invent stories
of murder in our midst, shall sink in
to deserved obscurity.
