C, (January 5, 1863,) saya : " For twelve year I was a great sufferer. My liter was diseased I lost my flesh and strength, and my skin seemed changed in its color by the bile with which my system was overcharged. I became subjoct to frequent and violent attacks of bil ious cholic, every attack leaving me weaker than its predecessor. The physicians had been able to patch me up a little, but my health was in a deplorable state. I had taken patent me dicines until I was tired of them. Without euergy or comfort, I was barely sblo to go a bout a little. At length I yk' i-d to the ear nest persuasion of a friend aud commenced taking the HEPATIC PILLS, with no confi dence in them. They acted like a charm on me. From that hour J have improved. I have persevered in their use, until now, by God's blessing, am well and hearty. I had a nef ro man, who, as 1 believe, was taved from death by a dose of these Pill. My Doctor's bill was annually from $100 to $200, but I have had no use for a--physician since. I can confidently recommend them as a superior family suedicin a D. Wallace, Esq., Presidenl of tba VTil- mitiKtoD it Weldon Rail Road, (Aug.

In my family they hav been used frequently with eminent success Among my acquaintances many cases origina ting from diseased liver, hare been relieved and cured by them. I regard litem an invaluable medicine, and take pleasure in forwarding this voluntary tribute."' A. W. D. Tatlob, Esq , Petersburg, Ta., (Jan. 12, 1859,) says: "In the Spring of 1858, 1 was attacked with Dyspepsia to such an ex tent that all my food of every description dis agreed with me. I was swollen so I had to loosen my clothes, and night after night 1 could get no sleep. I tried one or two physicians, and took a good deal of medicine, but found no relief. I purchased one box of the South ern Hepatic Pills, and the first (Jose I took I felt relieved, and continued until I took the whole box. I am now entirely well, and eat heartily, and never have been attacked since. I can safely recommend these Pills to the Dys peptic and the community at laige."

Our Sa viour wm crucified, though the cause for which He suffered needed that sacrifice, only on account of the inscrutablo wish of the Almighty. Acting upon this punitive principle, the Catholic orders of religion founded a curriculum system of punish ments no less to their infamous Hiscredit than to the sorrow of a Chistian world. The Albigensian perseculion in the 13th century led to the establishment of the far famed Inquisition. The protesting mem bers of the Catholic Chuieb, far from be ing allowed to exercise tbe power of simpl c faith were scorned, imprisoned and expell ed, without the privilege of sppealing to a higher and more lawful court. V bile tbe informer was rewarded, thi accused ne cessarily became his own acenser ; he was seised, thrown into prison and after a mock trial conducted to an iguominious execution. The Fraucisoans and Domiu icans were thrprincipal instruments in tho bauds of a bigoted Papacy lo overthrow a religious sect, merely because it declined to believe in the outrageous creed of ignor ant fanatics. In tho year 1233, Pope Gregory (curses on his name.) extended the power of his minions without estab lishing one iota of justice to his cause Both in Italy and Spain, this religious proscription was xealously advocated.

In the first year of bis sov ereignty nearly twenty-two thousand Pro testants were burned, and tbe Jews found refuge only in a hasty flight to Portugal, Africa and other countries. After sever al contests between the Pope and do Tor quemada, it was decided that headquar ters of the Inquisition should .be estab lished at Madrid. The order of 1732 de clared that all who had observed the law of Moses, followed the doctrines of Luth er, possessed a Koran, or concluded an al liance with tbe devil, Bhould be doomed to the stake.

(Jnurcn. uyncn. meet? v WHY NOT BE JUST AND FAIR! When Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, one of the bravest and moat aisuns guishod of the Uontoderatlia uenerv als, declared in a speech that if Grant were elected President, aad auy opposition waa niade to hia ac cession to the prepideHttal chair, he would draw hia own sword in hie support, the extreme Radical papers find it convenient to ignore that sig lriffcatit avowal. But when B'ime in 'discret Southern newspaper deals in wild talk, its mad nonsense is seized upon and circulated by every section al paper iu the North as an evidence of Southeru sentiment. The truth is that the last thing on the face of the .1. ik. K.inflmrii oeoole desire or dream of is war. They are at a loss to understand how any pue can sin cerely hold an opposite idea? Neither the election of Gen. Grant nor any T..-t'nilieruiaawoaM lend to 'j Constance tin the South. Ut all nic prominent I Republicans, Gen Grant, so far as XWHOtB NO 412 ha ia Dnrsonallv conflernod. is most respected by tho Southern people. l The fact that he has the chief mili tary prestige in the armies of the United States, instead of working to Uis prejudice, tends to olovatu him with military people. Even if tbe South desired to appeal to arms, it is as mfii autre of it inability to do to as Its enemies can bo. It aooras strange that tho North ahoold be ig norant of the real etato of Southern affairs and sentiment. This ia- tho arm of steam aud telcirraulia. vet-Mr. John Qrrrncoy Adams of Masaachu " setts, in his late brief and incisive speech at Greensboro', N. C, said "he had learned more of the Southern people and their feelings and senti moiits the last two day than ho could have learned in a life time in Massa chusetts. He was astonished at the condition of the Southern people aud their wasted, neglocted fields. If tho North could see it as be had done, all onr trials would be at an end." When one of the roost prominent and intelligent of the public men of Massachusetts concedes mat lie anew not hi n tr of the real state of thinira in the South till he weut there personal ly, what must be tbe ignorance or tne liuiss of the oonulation? This ignor ance is tho result of partisan misrep resentation, seizing and perverting to its own evil purposes tnose very - .-OS all agencies ot dinusing intelligence whicb it was once uopea wouia maae the different sections better acquaint ed and draw them nearer to each oth er. We dare say Mr. Adams is right when he says if tbe North conld ouly see the real condition of things in tbe South as he had done, our trials would soon he at an end. The North would thou be touched by the scene, and it would also see what wanton cruelty it is to ascribe to this helpless people purposes p self annibiliatioo I by another war. Tbe South wants no war for anv cause, but if Gen. Grant is elected, tbe Sonth is far more likely to assist, as indicated by Gen. Gordon, in putting down resistance than in offering it. Baltimore Sun Til ANKSG1VING DA Y. President Johnson has issned a proclamation setting apart Thursday, the 26th day of November, as a day for thanksgiving and prayer. The proclamation says : "In the year which is now drawing to its end, the art, the skill and the labor of the people of the Untied States have been employed with greater diligence and vigor, and on broader fields, than ever before, and the fruits of tbe earth have been gathered into the granary and tho storehouse in marvelous abnndanee.
