Another Letter from B. II. Hill, of
Georgia.
Tho Now York Tribune contains
another long lotter from B. H. Hill,
of Georgia, adding some further facts
touching tho Camilla riot. Ho has
read nil that has appeared in tho
Tribune, and waited for additional
information himself, from his State,
that ho might bo euro of corrcstness
in what ho writes. Ho makes tho
following points:
1. Tho chief information upon
whioh Maj. Howard's first letter was
based, and upon which Bullock baaed
his message to tho Legislature, and
upon which your correspondent from
Albany seems to rely, waa derived
from, the statemonts of a notoriously
bad negro, who had served a term in
the penitentiary, and whom 500 wit?
nesses, black and white, would dis?
credit on oath in a court of justice.
2. I have been planting several
years in that region. I nm there
habitually. It is one of my homes
in the State. I have never seen or
known of, or, before I read it in your
paper, heard of a bloodhound in that
country. I am assured, and do be?
lieve, there is not ono in that whole
region; and I do not believo there is
a dog there, of any kind, trained to
track either a black or white man.
3. I know, personally, Judge Vasou
and the gentlemen who acted with
him in investigating this matter, and
whose report throws all tho blamo on
Pierce and Murphy. I knbw also
some of tho witnesses who gave their
evideuco under oath. We have no
more reliable citizens in our State.
Judge Voson ii an old Whig and
Union man; was long Judge of our
Superior Court; is a Christian gen?
tleman of fine educution and most
exemplary character and elevated
mind, and whom any Northern jury
would believe without doubt or hesi?
tation.
.i. The letters of your correspond?
ent, at least tho statementa thoy
make, aro originated by some per?
sons for the express purpose of in?
flaming tho Northern mind, and
influonciug tho elections ponding.
5. You think it strange that so
many negroes were killed, and so few
whites injured. To mo thia is not
strange. Tho negroes were slaugh?
tered, as they will always bo under
such circumstances. Their white
leaders escaped, aa they intended
beforehand to escape. If tho people
of tho North will not be moved by
tho wrongs and dangers to tho whites
of tho South, I beg them to rescue
the poor negroes from suro destruc?
tion, by repudiating these reconstruc?
tion measures, and thereby remove
tho inducements offered to carpet?
baggers and renegades to breed strife
and hate, that they may get ofHco.
G. Is it not singular that so many
Northern people will persist iu believ?
ing, with implicit confidence, the wild
statements of frightened convict ne?
groes, and of bad white men who
abandon white soeioty to uso tho
negro for solfish ends, and of anony?
mous writers, and summarily set
asido tho most solemn statements
under oath of our host white people,
and tho assurances of the wholo whito
race of tho South, as moro attempts
to "white-wash rebe] ontrnges ?"
Strangers and renegades, of tho most
original secession stamp, aro inciting
negroes to acts which lead to their
slaughter, in order to make dupes of
educated, rofined Northern whites,
that these Northern whites may, in
turn, and for vongeanco, make vic?
tims of tho Southern whites, all to
tho end that those strangers, and
worst secessionists, may got tho offices
for their loyalty. Those are the only
fruits which the reconstruction mea?
sures have produced, or can produce
at tho South. Ought such moasures
to be "maintained and perpetuated ?"
Tlic Spanish Revolution-Espartero,
Chief of thc Government.
Tho Spanish revolution progresses,
in tho most orderly and satisfactory
manner, towards complete realization
in tho establishment of a free Go?
vernment, elicited by tho public
voice, and trusting for solidity in the
future to tho electoral approval and
support of ii nation suddenly awaken?
ed to .1 knowledge of ita rights and
tho endorsement of the millions who
havo proved themselves, so fur, well
worthy of their enfranchisement.
Marshal Serrano, neenmpauied by
seven generals of the regular army,
entered Madrid on Saturday. Tho
soldier liberators enjoyed a triumphal
ovation, iu which the citizens and
military took part, and which, ac?
cording to our cable telegrum de?
scription, partook of tho character of
as fine a "turu out" ns could bo wit?
nessed in Now York, even about
"these times" of a Presidential elec?
tion. The streets and buildings of
the capital, public edifices aud private
mansions wero decorated in the most
superb manner; tho side-walks,
squares and house-stops were crowd?
ed with people; there was au im?
mense procession, and the generals
wero hailed with "wild enthusiasm."
A military parado and review of tho
National Guard followed-a very fine
affair, aud which evoked tho most
fervent expressions in manifestation
of the popular will. The inscriptions
borne on tho banners re-affirmed the
sentence of the expelled dayuasty,
and proclaimed the programme of
the reformed policy of the nation in
a few short, but decisive sentences.
These were, "Down with tho Bour?
bons," "Sovereignty of the People,"
"Religious Liberty" and "Free Edu?
cation."
With their case thus set forth to
tho world, and their futuro inten?
tions thus enunciated, tho Spaniards
came down to practical work. Mar?
shal Serrano addressed tho multi?
tude, informing them that ho had
united with General Prim, in calliug
Marshal Espartoro, Duko do Vittoria,
to tho head of tho State. Tho cable
telegram does not say iu what con?
stitutional capacity, or under what
designation tho old soldier is to
serve, bat it may bo presumed that it
will be ns chief of ti provisional go?
vernment, pending the drafting of a
Constitution and tho submitting of it
for ratilicatiou or amendment to tho
people by universal suffrage. A new
cabinet was then formed, with Ser?
rano us President of the Conned,
Prim Minister of War, Senor Madoz
Minister of Finance, Senor Oloynga
Ministor of Foreign Affairs, and other
eminent reformers with portfolios.
Manuel do hi Coucha was placed
under arrest, the people thus official?
ly obliterating a personification of
many irritating remembrances at the
moment when they had cleared and
ably pioneered the path of Spain for
lier advanee to political dignity,
religious liberty and tho enjoyment
of intelligent measures of citizen
equality and freedom.

A LEARNED DRAYMAN.-In Wash?
ington, tho other day, ono Charles
Hunt stated that ho was a Dane by
birth, was educated iu tho military
school at Copenhagen, knew how to
speak seven different languages, came
hero in 1801 as nu officer, but thero
being too many oincers to tho regi?
ment, he left and went to driving a
dray.
A "bravo tar," of Water street,
New York, thus delivered himself at
a recent prayer meeting in that local?
ity: "Fellow-citizens: Give mo tho
Presbyterian for discipline, tho Bap?
tist for water, and tho Methodist for
fire! I'm Presbyterian whee on duty,

editorial staff, and says, also, that

SPECIAL NOTICES.
AVOID POISONT- IN VALID READER!
?lo you know what nine-tenths of tho hit?
ter compounds you aro solicited by tho
proprietors to accept as universal pana?
ceas aro composed of ? Givo heed for a
moment. They aro manufactured from
unpuritied alcohol, containing a consider?
able portion of fusil oil-a poison almost
as deadly as prussic acid. Tho basis of
the regular tinctures of tho Materia Me?
dica is tho same. No amount of "herbal
cr.tractb" can overcome tho bad tendency
nf this pernicious element. The esaenco
of sound rye, thoroughly rectified, is tho
only stimulant which can bc safely used
as a component of a tonic, alterativo and
anti-bilious medicine, and IIOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS ia the only medi?
cinal preparation in thc world in which
this articlo ia used as an ingredient.
Heneo tho extraordinary elfccts of this
great specific. It givcB strength without
producing excitement. No other tonio
doca thia. All tho ordinary hitters Hush
the faco and affect tho brain. Hoatetter's
Bitters diffuses an agreeable calm through
tho nervous system, promotes digestion
and producoa sleep. No other tonic so
quickly revives tho exhausted physical
energies, restorea tho appetite and re?
moves tho gloom and depression which
always accompanies weakneaa of the
bodily powers, lt purges from the sys?
tem the morbid humors which retard its
natural functions, and which I ring pale?
ness to tho cheek and Buffering to tho
brow. It banishes those clogs upon plea?
sure, restorea the system to high health,
and necessarily proves a valuable adjunct
to the digestive organs. A trial is nil that
is needed to ('stablish it in the confidence
of the skeptic. September .'10 fG

THE WEEKLY GLEANER,
A LARGE ETOHT-rAoi: JOURNAL OF
j NEWS, POLITICS, LITERATURE.
An excellent Paper for Country Reading.
ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC
IN THE OREAT FIGHT
AGAINST RADICAL. USURPATION.
TO TUE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH.
THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to
the rehabilitation of tho South inits former
prosperity-is offered to subscribers at tho
low rate of $1.50 for six months.
Thc annals of tho American Republic
show no political campaign comparable in
tho magnitude of its issues and thc mo?
mentousness of its results to that for the
Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the
very lifo of free government is on trial,
and it will bo a sad commentary on the
capacity of the people for tho exercise of
that high trust if they, tho jurors who are
to try tho issue, pronounce a verdict of
solf-cop.domnation. If tho South has any
hope it is in the success of tho Democratic
partv in tho coming Presidential election;
and every citizen is vitally interested in
the progress of the battle, and cannot
afford to bo without a sound and reliable
newspaper.
As an organ, not only of sound Demo?
cratic principles, bnt as a vehicle of ge?
neral news, tho GLEANER is confidently
commended to Southern support. A largo
eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns,
lilied with tho contributions of ablo cor?
respondents, the daily wealth of tele?
graphic communication and readable edi?
torials. Especially will it bo valuable as
an organ to disabuse the Northern mind
of the falsehoods in relation to Southern
thought and actions, with which it is the
industrious vocation of certain parties to
poison the springs of Northern feeling on
Southern subjects. In this view of the
matter, no moro valuable aid to the true
reconstruction of the country and restora?
tion of just sentiment at the North toward
tho South can bo rendered than by sub?
scribing to tho WEEKLY GLEANER and
sending it to acquaintances and friends in
the Northern States.
We ask tho aid of such of our political
comrades as shall see this prospectus, in
the distribution of the paper; especially
during tho progress of the impending
campaign.
The WEEKLY GLEANER is published
every Wednesday morning, and mailed to
singlo subscribers at ?3.U0 per anum; Six
Months, $1.50; Three Months, 75c; Single
Copies, 10c. Sample copies will bo sent
