WASHINGTON.

WAsHINToN, July 2.-The signal
corps station at Smithyille, North
Carolina, reports that the steamer
Regulator, from New York for
Wilmington, went ashore there to-
day on the main bar. She was
pulled off by the United States duty
boat cracking badly, and with her
rudder posts damaged, and will be
towed to Wilmington tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, July q. = The
Secretary of the Treasury to-day
appointed Robert A. Turner,
of Knoxville, Tenn, to be Internal
Revenue Storekeeper and Guager
for the Second District Of Tennes-
see, and J. Brady Power to be
second assistant keeper of the
lighthouse at Cape Canaveral, Fla.
Acting Secretary of the Treasu-
ry, French, to-day received requests
from the Steamboat Inspectors at
Memphis that they might leave the
city and camp out in the country to
escape yellow fever. The requests
were granted.

A Southern Woman's Views on tbs
Question of Rebellion.

Memphis Letter to South Florida Citizen (Dsm)
Rebels and heretics have been in
every age the vioctifns tyra nny
and the martyrs for freedom. Our
Southern Rebels form no exception
to that rule. 1t was, and posterity
will recognize the truth, gross usur-
patton Of the natural rights of man
for the Northern States to arrogate
the right of conquest and the sub
jugation of the South. The South
was guilty of no crime when she Sc
ceded. There is nd freedom with
out the right of secession. To deny
that right is to go back to the old
kingly doctrine of the divine right
of government, for which George
III. fought, aud against which
our forefathers staked their lives.
The South had an eternal right to
secede. The South would now be
greater and more prosperous
country could she get up and inde.
pendent government of her own. Il
would be to her interest to leave
what is called the Union.

There is at least one time in life
at which a man is more careful than
at any other. It is not when he is
selecting a wife, or laying $40

when he is taking aim at a fly
which is crawling up his nose, nor
when he wakes up at night and en-
deavors to reach out and grab q
mosquito which is moving round
him like an elfn saw-mill. No, the
time at which man is more care

Prof. J0ynes was then introduced
by Mr.. Smith. He began by saying
he thought the sight before hin; the
best he had ever seen in Tennessee,
for it proved that we were
trying to raise the Standard
of education Of Knox county. And
that the Normal School was what the
public schools of the State stood in
need of. It has been taught by in

His subject was the English Ian

made US more than proud that we
spoke the English language, and that
we are what we aTe-an E1glish-
speaking people.

tic medicine that can be employed cleans

tbey stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body. and are so composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
rom fheir use in any quantity.
