''The awards granted at the Worlds Columbian Exposition, compared to the number of exhibitors, present the smallest number ever granted on the occasion of Worlds Fair. This re- suit distinctly shows that unusual care and precaution were taken by the ex- pert judges, who, because of the rule requiring them to declare over their own signatures the reasons for their judgment, fully realized the great re- sponsibility thrown upon them. The exhibitor, therefore, may be assured that his award will have a value such as the award granted at previous Ex- positions never gave" This state ment, from the official circular of the Worlds Columbian Commission, as ap- piled to Ayers SarsaparilIa, the only medicine of the kind admitted at the Worlds Fair, and which also received the highest possible awards, must con- vince the most sceptical mind that this well-known blood-purifier stands far in advance of all other similar preparations in existence It has cured others. it will cure you.

The two old letters herewith
handed you may prove interesting to
some of your readers, as they throw
light upon events which took place
hereabouts during the Revolutionary
War Can any one furnish me with
key to the cipher dispatch in the
intercepted letter, or lend a helping
hand to locate "Mr. Bradley's," the
spot where Snmter was encamped on
March 4th, 1881? The scene of
the battle which took place on March
9Th of the same year, and the site of
RadclIffe's Bridge. It might not be
inappropriate here to remark that,
although Maj Frazier may have de-
defeated Sumter on the occasion
mentioned, Mr. Sebastian Sumter, Of
Stateburg. has in his possession the
two swords which his grandfather
captured from Maj. Wemys and Maj
Frazier during the Revolutionary

with you at time when there is the
greatest occasion for it. | made no
doubt, but your to me would be

the number of your men were, |
found you to be very weak, and the
enemy near at hand in force, this de-
termined me to move on to meet with
you-to concert measures for our
further operations, which is still alb
solutely necessary I shall therefore
remain at or near this place for that
purpose. and beg that you may come
this way with all possible speed, if
not convenient with all your men to
facilitate an interview, please to come
with few. My horses are so worn
out that l can scarce move at all, and
officers and men quite discouraged
finding no force in these parts, not
even men enough to join to guide
me through the country. But, not
withstanding little may be done now,
yet much good might be expected to
result hereafter from personal con-
sutation, which l hope to have the
hope you will undertake to do the
needful in that case. The accounts
you give respecting Lord CORVALLIS
are very pleasing; God grant a
speedy confirmation. If you return
upon the same side of the River that
you now are, perhaps you may collect
men about the hills, and take some Of
