Julius Poppe, Anderson C. Ii. 8. P. Kinard, Newberry C. H. James Grant, Union. J. M. Allon, Greenvale. New? from Liberia. William Rose, the body servant of (Jen. Maxcy Gregg, who weut to Liberia on the Golconda with Miss Gregg, has lately returned to his nativo State, and has furnished us with some interesting facta connected with that country. Ho represents Liberia as being capable of pro? ducing everything that is used by man, but the enervating climate bas prevented the colonists from improv? ing these natural advantages. To? bacco, lumber, meat, Atc, ore im? ported extensively, though the forests abound in the most valuable woods, and the country is capable of pro? ducing tho finest description of to? bacco, while cattle could be raised with ease when once acclimated. At Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, the colored merchants are doing well, their trade extending through Africa. They barter with the natives for palm oil, which is sold to the vessels at from twenty-seven and a half to forty.cents per gallon. About 2,000 bags of coffee are exported yearly to England, where, indeed, most of tho products aro sent. Rice, cottou, coffee and vegetables are grown tu a limited extent, bnt are used mostly for home oonsnmption, the natives and colonists gaining a living with snch easo that they do not exert themselves. The palm oil ia pro? duced from the nuts of the palm tree, which grows luxuriantly, and, as it is easily manufactured, little Oare is taken to develop the agri? cultura'! resouroes of tho country. The climate ia not warmer than a summer in South Carolina, but there is no winter, and water-melons, Irish potatoes and other vegetables ?ripen in January. Irish potatoes aro first planted from the out-eye, as in this conntry, but this growth produces only a small seed about tho size of a marble, and the potato is raised from the vines, mnoh as sweet potatoes and "slips" hero. The Colonization Society furnishes each new comer with ten acres of land, a house and rations for six months, with a doctor und nurse while sick during that time. Labor can be obtained for from forty to seventy cents per day. and mechanics' vages are from 61.00 a Si.5J per day in Liberian currency. This our reuoy (copper and paper) passes from Capo Palmas to Monrovia, and is very much depreciated, being worth about fifty cents on the dollar. It is made in England. The natives have boen greatly im? proved by contact with the colonists, and the efforts of the missionaries to instil tho doctrines of Christianity have mot with some success. Sove rnl of the natives have "professed religion," and two of them are mis? sionaries, one bolonging to the Bap? tist and tlio other to the Presbyterian denomination. Miss Gregg is touch? ing tho natives at Monrovia, where there is a largo mission station. Our informant states that the great draw? back to immigration is tlie African fover, which invariubly attucks all stranger*, nnd few recover unless the greatest care is taken. Once ac? climated, the climate has no terrors to the colonist, nod if he uses only a moderato degree of energy, he can secure n comfortable support Many of tho older colonists have acquired considerable wealth by trading with the natives and the Teasels that visit the different ports. Most of those who went from South Carolina are doing well, though they generally yield to the influenco of the hot cli? mate and become os lazy as the na? tives. One of tho most singular features of the country is tho absence of cat? tle of every description. Horses are extremely rare, tbe riding being don A in palanquins berne by sisn. There are also very few persons who ruiso horned cattle, though frequent attempts have been made to intro? duce them from abroad, but they are seldom acclimated. Corned beef and pickled pork are imported from Now York which, with tho rico raised on the spot, constitutes thu food of the majority of tho settlers. William lioso was the body servant of Gen. Gregg, and was with him when he was killed at tho battlo of Frodericksburg. He wears tho Gene? ral's gold watch, which was present? ed to him as a testimonial of esteem by Miss Gregg. Tho inner case of the watch bears an inscription stat? ing this fact. Bose went to Liberia with Miss Gregg, but was taken with the African fever, and determined to como back to South Curolina, where he expects to remain. While he docs not discourage emigration, he feels confident that only those pos? sessing strong constitutions and temperate habits, can succeed. Na? ture hos been lavish of her treasures, but they are for tho most part ne? glected, and though the country produces the finest woods, gold, ivory, ?ko., they will nover be ex? ported to any largo extent. {.Charleston News.

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS have attained a world-wide popularity in euch cases, and havo been proven the best and safest moans of removing constipa? tion, toning the stomach, giving onergy to tho liver and rolieving every symptom of nervousness and depression of spirits. Itu cheering and b?n?ficiai effects are highly spoken of by thousands, who owe te it their restoration to health. No resto? rative in tho annals of medicine has at? tained tho same popularity in tho short space of time it has benn before tho pub lie, or has won tho high endorsements accorded to this excellent tonic. Many other preparations, purporting to be cor? rectives and restoratives, have been intro? duced, and havo perished one by one, while the popularity of Hostetter's Stom? ach Bitters continues to increaso, and is now recognized as a standard household medicine. Tho success which attends tho uso of thc Bittors evinces at once its vir? tues in all cases of debility and diseases of tho stomach. Certificates, almost without number, have been published, attesting its truly miraculous powor in removing those painful and fearful diseases. And at thia time it seems idle to do more than call attention to tho great remedy of tho agc, in order to awaken public attention to ita excellence, lt ia tho only preparation of tho kind that ia reliable in all caeca, and it ia therefore worthy ol' the conaide ration of tho afflicted.
