For several months the readers of The Times have seen in our column of City Notices, daily mention of the excellence of the medical preparations by Messrs. Mansfield Higbee, of Memphis. Their house was established In that city in 1840, and for thirty years has been open day and night to the afflicted. They have made those diseases most common in the South and Southwest a special study, and by long experience and thorough knowledge, have succeeded in preparing the qest medicines for their cure. They are not empirics or nostrum makers.

They are intelligent druggists, whose preparations meet with favor alike from the people and the profession. But the merit of these medicines would be of little worth, unless their virtues were known to thei public. The proprietors hit the nail on the head by advertising. Besides advertising liberally in most of the first class newspapers of the South and Southwest, they published an edition of their Eam-ly Almanac for the present year, of haltia million copies which they will increase to a million for 1871. They also publish the Creole Monthly containing a great deal of valuable intormatioioutside of its advertisieg, fifty thousand copies of which they distribute to the public each month, for the cost of postage alone.

In this way their remedies have been made known to hundreds of thousands their business so enlarged that they are able to pay all expenses, use the purest and best materials, and sell at a very small advance on first cost, and realize a reasonable profit. Thus, both manufacturer and consumer are substantially benefited. While great numbers of Northern men, by the unstinted use of newspaper advertising, have become millionaires, owing a arge share of their fortunes to the Southern people, rarely, if at all, has it happened that men of the South have dared, like Mansfield Higbee, to risk the expense of competition with them. Yet all the advantages are with home enterprise, as well in cotton, iron and mechanical manufacture as in the preparation of remedies for diseases peculiarly Southern. The Southern man should do as well to advertise a cotton gin, or a rice cleaner in Nova Scotia, as many Northern nostrums should do in this latitude.

Acting upon this idea, Mansfield Higbee are laboring for home people in the cure of diseases common to our climate are making the fact known, and are prosperous and useful. Let others take the hint, and press their business in the same way, and we shall goon have' a different state of things idBlris section Wwo Yoy CoqoH?

THE Cl ALJJBAlJffAx Died, in Mobile, on the 4th Mr. George Sampson. The deaths in Huntsville in July were 31 whites 13, blacks 18. The Gadsden Timet has been appointed the official organ for Blount county. Mrs.

Findley, wife of John A. Findley died in Calhoun county a few days ago. The Stevenson New Era reports that Judge Haralson has declared himself a Democrat. Mr. Matt Calloway is the nominee of the Democratic party in Crenshaw county for the Legislature.

Mr. G. A. Cushing has been appointed a Notary Public and Justice of the Peace in Montgomery. Mr.

Abel K. Harris, one of the oldest citizens of Bibb county, died a few days ago. A littlson of John Steele, of Bibb county, ad about four years, fell into a spring and was drowned, the other day. At the recent convention of the Democs racy of Butler county, John L. Powell, Esq.

was nnanimously nominated for the Legislature. A heavy storm passed through Madison county, on the 4th, doing much damage to bridges, fences, the growing crops, etc. A son of Mr. Joe Latham, living near Randolph, aged ten or twelve years, was run over and killed by a train of cars, a few days since. The Elyton Sun says the citizens of that place are already realizing the benefits of the railroad in the high prices of butter, eggs, etc.

The Atlanta Constitution says The beautiful Mies AnDa Shorter, daughter of ex-Congressman Eli Shorter, of Alabama, was at Athens during the lath Commencement, and contributed no little share to the beauty, wit and intelligence of those present, who were noted for these qualifications. She is a 'rf belle, and. nothing Shorter. Jim Littlepage and Ed. Love, two notorious theives, who have been engaged in robbing the cars on the Mobile and Ohio railroad for some time were run over and killed by a traiirnear Meridian one night last week, while engaged, as is supposed, in trying to get into the train for the purpose of robbing it.

The Elyton Sun says The Alabama and Chattanooga railroad is now rsnning to a point within fourteen miles of Elyton. Trains will reach this point by the st of October. The work in Red Gap has been ot so much heavier a character than was anticipated that the construction of the road has been materially retarded. On the northern division ot the road about three thousand men are employed, and they are doing-all that concentrated labor and thorough discipline can do to push the enterprise to the earliest possible completion. To Change Hands.

The Rome Daily of Sunday says We learn that the Selma, Rome and Dalton railroad will, in a short time, pass out of the hands of the lessee, Mr. A. D. Breed, and under the Board of Directors recently elected. A convention of the stockholders ot the road, has been called to meet ih the city of Selma, on Thursday, the 15th day pf September next, for the purpose ot passing upoirthe action of ihe Board of Directors in settlement with Mr.

Breed. Mr. A. G. Barney, will we learn, be continued as Superintendent.

altliam WATOHJE The extensive use of these watches lor the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineer. and Expressmen, the most exacting of waten-wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Waltham Watch. Te satisly that class in all these respects, is to decide the question as to the real value of these time keepers. More than 490,000 of tbese watches are now Bpeaking for themselves in the pockets of the people a proof and a guarantee of their superiority over all others. The superior organization and great extent of the Companys Works at Waltham, enable tfbem to produce watches at a price which ren-aers competition futile, and those who buy any other watch, merely pay from 25 to 60 per cent, more for their watches than is necessary.

We are now selling Waltham Watches at less prices in greenbacks than tbe gold piices befpre tbe war. There is no other manufacture of any kind In the United States of which this can belaid. These time pieces combine every improvement that a long experience has proved of real practical nse. Having had the reluBal of nearly every invention in watch making originating in this country or in Europe, only those were finally adopted which severe testing by the most skillful artisans in our works, and long use on tbe part ot tbe public, demonstrated to be essential to correct and eaduring time keeping. Among the many improvements we would particularize The invention and use ot a center-pinion of peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the train by the breakage of main springs, is original with the American Watch Company, who, having had the refusal of all other contrivances.

adopted Foggs patent pinion as being the best, aud faultless. Hardened and tempered hair springs, now universally admitted by watchmakers to be the best, are used in all grades of Waltham Watches. All Waltham Witches have dust-proof caps, protecting the movement from dust and lessening the necessity of frequent cleaning necessary in other watches. Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch, is already a decided success and a great improvement on any stem-winding watch in the American market, and bv far the cheapest watch of its quality now ofiered to the public. To those living in portions of the United States where watchmakers do not abound, watches With the above mentioned improvements which tend to insure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and convenience, must prove invaluable.

Every watch guaranteed by the Company. To prevent imposition, buyers should see that every watch should bear eithbr of the lol-owing trade marks American Watch Waltham, Mass Amu.

The train was running at the rale of only six miles an hour, and up a grebe. The conductor discovered the car op the track and pulled the alarm bell and jhe'train was taken up in a very short spice, but the car -that was off the track hgd lost its equilibrium and went over theank. fit is supposed the accident is the esult of the sudden breaking of a wheel, i Thp killed will be be traps Richmond in the morning, except Maj. 4axJn and son, who will be sent to Leiington. Railroad officials have done-fverything in their power for the woundecSf A special train was dispatched froi here with surgeons as soon as the accidqpt was known.

A portion of the wounded at Jerries Run and portion are kindly cared for by the physicians' and nursed by the ladies. All are in a fair way of recovery. FROM NORTH CAROLINA. Raleigh, August 7. Geo.

W. Brooks, Judge of the United States District Court in the district of North Carolina, has issued writs of habeas corpus for all citizens now held by Kirk, under an order of Gov. Holden, to appear before him at-Salisbury, where he opens court to morrow. The United States Marshal leaves to-night to serve the writs. The State has gone Democratic by a large majority, and from all appearances the Democrats have a two-thirds majority in both branches of the Legislature.

The Democrats also have elected five out of the seven Congressmen. Josiah Turner, editor of the Raleigh Sentinel, wa arrested at his home at Hillsboro, Orange county, which county has never been declared in a state of insurrection, by a detachment of Holdens militia from Alamance county.

Their services for the present are declined. The first bale of new Texas cotton sold for 36 cents. FROM VIRGINIA. -Grrenbrier White Sulphur Springs, August 8. All the wounded by the late accident will recover.

The Times says It is a momentous question whether the Emperors health leaves him in possession of his ordinary faculties. The war is marked by the usual hesitation, which is attributable to random and purposeless strategy and puzzling inactions, which have probably brought calamity to the national arms. The Emperor is now bound to accept battle instantly, yet he has on hand the task of concentrating his forces and restorting esprit to a defeated army, and this while his enemy is concentrating in the heart of Lorraine. Circumstances will soon exact the reappearance of England in the character ot a mediator. It is said the Orleans Princes are prodigal of their money in relieving the wounded of the French army.

Ships still enter the Elbe and Wesser, notwithstanding the blockade. A French ram is cruising off Dover. -Pleasure travel continues in Switzer-i land despite the excitement the war occasions. The increase of bank rates had favorable effect upon the grain market, by purging it of speculative operators or borrowed capital. Ireland received of the French defeat with profofmd sorrow.

The Prussian forces menace Metz and St. Avoid. McMahon continues to retreat towards Nancy. There were illuminations and public rejoicing last night Hamburg, Dresden, Breslau and other cities. The French prisoners are everywhere kindly treated.

The British Foreign Office has received an imperative demand from Prussia that England shall stop shipments of coal to France, or abandon pretence of neutrality. It is believed at Antwerp that the war will end in a week. The condition ot Paris is believed to be dangerous. The Globe says the Prussian Envoy insists on criminal proceedings against British pilots serving in the French war vessels. The demand has been- refused.

It is stated privately that the Emperor is ill at Chalons and that Doctors Nelaton and Rioardi have gone to attend him. FROM BELGIUM. Brussels, August 8. A dispatch says the Kings speech from the throne contains 'e statement that Prance and Prussia have given a written pledge to observe the neutrality of Belgium. FROM FRANCE.

Paris, August 8. The remainder of the Garde Nationale is to be incorporated with the Garde Mobile. The two corps will be organized in a single body at once. The Journal Ojfficiel says the relation of France with other powers is satisfactory, and late events have developed rather than weakened the war feeling. The Journal Officiel contains the following Metz, August 7, 9:30 A.

m. In the battle Saturday GeD. Colsen was shot by McMahons side. Gen. Raoul is missing.

Our artillery suffered heavily. McMahon is now in communication with Gen. Failly at Metz, and is preparing for a vigorous defense. The Journal adds, our relations with foreign Governments are not prejudiced by Saturdays events. On the other hand they develop the significant fact that what lhese Governments desire in common yrith France is the maintenance of European equilibrium.

Until its use, I had tried every remedy, exercised the greatest prudence in diet, and the result was I grew worse.

We learn from the Picayune of the 5th (hit all attempts to recover little Mollie )by, stolen from her parents in New leans on the 9th of June, have thus far unavailing. Several reports of bhildren being found in different localities, answering the description of the little girl, resulted, on inquiry, in the aost grevious disappointment. The child i said to have been in Cincinnati last reek, and which was so confidently believed to be the lost one, turns out not meet the description, and nothing fur-er is hoped in that direction. The authorities are now on another hunt into oncordia parish, where a child has been en in the possession of two women, the Idescriptions of whom give some hope Ithat they may he the ones Bought for. fThe whole country is in sympathy with the bereaved parents of the little one) and we shall watch the progress ot the search with some interest.

au7 dtt Complimentary. The business and editorial staff of The Times return their thanks to the Elyton Sun for the handsome manner in which he speaks of the retiring partner in the establishment and of those who still remain connected with the paper: The Selma Times of the 30th ult. contains the valedictory of its original founder and leading editor Col. M. J.

Williams, who has sold his interest in the paper to Col. S. J. Saffold. By the retirement of Col.

Williams, the press of the State has lost one of its brightest spirits a man who has always been foremost in every enterprise of advancement, progression and benefit for his State, his county and his city. There is no man in Selma perhaps to whom as much is due from that city for increase ot business and importance ot commercial standing as Col. Jack Williams. In private and public life he has always been a true man. Col.

W. is a native Alabamian and one of whom the State is justly prond. His retirement will only be from hjs journal, his services are too valuable to be lost to- his fellow-citizens, as he is emphatically a man of brains, of judgment and of strict integrity. We tender you, Colonel, our best wishes in all enterprises of life. It is exceedingly fortunate for the old reputation ot The Times that it has fallen into such capable and worthy hands as those of Col.

Saffold. He is worthy ot the honored and honorable place he occupies. Since his connection with the press in January he has established a reputation of first-class rank as an editor and a journalist. In the change consequent to the retir-ment of Col. Williams, we see that Capt.

R. H. English has assumed the financial and business management ot the paper. As a political writer he is second to none, and he possesses that versatility of talent that qualifies him eminently either for a strictly editorial or business connection with a newspaper. Major Gibbons will, we presume, continue in charge of the news and local department, which he so ablv fills.

If the nervous system is affected, there is always troubleat itssoureiin the pericranium. And it may be here remarked that as the nervous fibre pervades the entire frame, no part of the physical structure can be affected without the nerves suffering sympathetically. Liver complaint of every type affects the brain. Sometimes the effect is stupor, confusion of ideas, hypochondriasis; sometimes.per- Bistent or periodical headache. In any case, the best redy that can be taken is Plantation Bitters.

In headache proceeding from indigestion Or. bilious' ness, or botb, the stomachic and ant bilious properties ot the preparation will soon relieve the torture, by removing the cause. If the complaint is purely nervous in other words, if it has originated in the nervous system, and is not the result of sympathy, the Bitters will be equally efficacious. So light and delicate are all the prepa rations made from Sea Moss Farias that it is invaluable for invalids and all those requiring a light and easily digested food. Equine Remedies best in the world.
