No time in our history demands tho presence of such a man more than now, and we hope Major Hanger will consent to serve us again Many Voters. Arrok Hill, Oct. G, 1871. Allow us, Mr. Editor. to present the name ol A. A. McPheeters to the Convention which will shortly meet, to represent us in the next House of Delegates, as a suitable person from the up per end of the county. Mr. McPheeters is a plain, unassuming, hon est, intelligent farmer, and in our late struggle he was at his post —did not substitute and shirk as many did, (and when ended, to petition his disabilities to be removed to seek office) but when duty called him be went to the front in de fence of his home and friends, of the women and children, and conducted himself in such a way as to merit the praise of his gallant com mander. We hope he will allow his name to come before the Convention, and he will be sup ported by Alany Votkks. [For the Spectator.] Mic. Editor —A number of gentlemen from various parts of the county have been called up on to represent us in the next Legislature, aud we. of Riverheads Townshio. having thus far remained quiet, and believing that we have a right to at least one representative from our part of the county, most respectfully desire to pre sent to our fellow-citizens the name of William F. Smith. Esq., for a seat iv the House of Dele gates. Mr. Smith has not sought, and, we be lieve does not really desire tbe nomination but, knowing lis patriotic spirit, we feel no hesitan cy in saying that he wiil serve us faithfully. Being in interest identified with every farmer and manufacturer of the county, and in every respect a gentleman—clear in judgment and true to the Conservative cause, we advise and ask our friends and fellow-citizens in the Convention to support him. Greknville. i t m Mr Editor—Having conversed vith many of my.fellow-countymen, during the past week, on the subject of Legislative candidates, and, as they pretty generally agree with me as to one, in their behalf as well as my own, I respeetiully call on Mr Robkrt W. Burke to allow his name to be presented before the County Nomi nating Convention, as a candidate to represent Augusta in the next House of Delegates. As the time is short. I have, at the suggestion of several, stated the substance of the above to Mr. Burke, with the request and in the hope he would respond favorably through this is-ue of your paper. Countryman. To the People of the County of Augusta: I have bneii solicited by numerous friends from different parts ot the county to allow the use of my name as a candidate to represent Augusta in the next House of Deh gates and in reply T have only to say thai, if nominated by a C >n servative Convention, I will cheerfully consent to run, and nut otherwise. If, on the other" hand, others are deemed by that body better suited for the position, at this crisi-, than myself, they will receive my most cordial and earnest support I have been from the Ivginning unalterably opposed to the Funding Bill, and, if elected a nivmber oi tin coming Legislature, will do ail in my power to counteract its evils. I' havH neyer believed that an agricultural c mmunity could nfford to pay more than 6 per cent, for money and will, therefore, if your rep resentative urge the establishment ot' that as the legal rate of interest, in lieu of 12 per cent as now provi ii d lor in ou State Constitution After Baying thi- mu< li briefly, I ned hardly add that, if honored by a nomination and elec tion, n> member «T the House will strive more strenuously man myself to reduce your taxes to the lowest Sgu c. consistent with tne support of a rigidly economical State Government. Re-peet'ullv, _ R. vV. Burke. To the Citizens of Augusta County. In response to a call published in the last issue of the Spectator, and in obedience to the wishes of many of my friends, I hereby announce my self a candidate for the next of Dele gates" If. in view of the multiplicity of gentle men spoken of for this position, a Convention be deemed necessary, I of course, will submit my claims to its decision if fairly constituted. In announcing myself, I wish to be clearly un derstood upon two questions of great moment that are now engaging the public mind, viz the Funding Bill, and the 12 per cent, clause. I hold that an assessment to provide for the payment of the interest on the Public Debt, would be injudicious at the present time, in view of the fact tnat our farmers—the great tax pay ing element of the State—are very bard pressed in consequence of consecutive years of failure in their crops, the ruinously low prices for all kinds of iarm products and the burdensome taxation arising from the manifold levies demanded by our new system of Slate Government. I can not see, as some claim, thai the honor, iutegrity and material interest "f Virginia are so involved in the immediate adjustment of her public debt that every sacrifice must h-; made to secure this end but I can see that our people, robbed of their property, and impoverished by a long and ruin ous war, are in no condition to bear the increas ed taxation that the immediate assumption of such heavy annual payments would necessitate in order to meet the interest proposed by this Funding Bill The impolicy of the 12 per cent. Clause in our Constitution is so manifest that it is only neces sary to say that it ought to be expunged as soon as possible a«,d that our next Legislature should submit to the people the question of its repeal. To render my card as brief as possible, 1 pledge myself, if elected, to labor earnestly and zealous ly for ihe most vigorous retrenchment in the ex penditures of ihe Mate, to use every effort to ren aer taxation as light as possible—and to urge "in season and out of season," as the policy de manded by stern necessity, the strictest economy in the management and application ot the public funds, Charles S. Roler. STAUNTON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER. For the Spectator. Everybody Read Thi*! Mb Editor:—l respectfully announce toy self a candidate for the Legislature—say the House of Delegates. As to my political prin ciples, I presume it don't matter whether lam a Conservative or Radical, and I shail say noth ing on that subject. The only question of in terest now-a-days is Repudiation, and upon that lam all right. I see that some of the candidates in Rockingham are for repudiating the State debt. So far so good. A candidate in Highland goes for repudiating all debts, pub lic and private, contracted before April 10th, 1865. That is a step further in the right di rection. But neither the Rockingham lawyer nor the Highland doctor has quite come up to the maik yet. They are on the way however, and I hail them as fellow-workers. My doc trine is, repudiate all debts and divide out the property. Here is my neighbor, Maj. Jones, who owns five hundred acres of good land worth $25,000. who don't want to pay his debts amounting to $5,000. and grumbles heavily a bout the taxes. Well now, is it right and fair that neighbor Jones shall be relieved of his debts and taxes and hold on to al! his land I say it ain't, because when the law relieves one it ought to relieve all. L have no debts to be abolished, and I want a little farm badly By the way. I am suspicious that my Highland friend has some fat Crab Bottom acres, and that's the reason his platform is so short. If elected I promise to cany out my principles universal repudiation down to the latest possi ble moment, (none of your 10th April 1865) an equal division of property, and an even start for us all. There are of course no consti tutional difficulties in the way. The people who hold property to any amount worth speak ing of are a small minority, and if all the oth er sort vote for me I shall certainly be elected. Those like me, who owe no debis and hold no property, don't care a straw about repudiation or taxes unless in the new shuffle we can come in for something. Ahithopueel Smith.

During the twenty years that it has been before the world, innumerable preparations intended to compete with it. have gone up like rockets, and come down the extin guished sticks. Meanwhiie the progn-ss of that incomparable tonic has been swift and steady— always upwa d and onward like the eagle' 8 flight. Its introduction produced a revjlution in thera peutics and it proved to be one of those salutary revolutions that cannot go backwards To-day Hosteler's Bitters is one of the most popular remedies in Christendom, and commands a lar ger sale than any other medicinal preparation, Uome.-tic or imported, on this side of the Atlan tic. As a cure tor uyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous affections, general debility, and as a preventive of epidemic fevers, it takes prece dence of every other remedy. This fact should teach the ambitious country dealers who endeav or to foist their ioeal abortions on the public in its stead, how futile their small atte opts to ca jole the community must necessarily be. Where the game fish have failed there is no chance for the "sucners." oc3-lm MfU> ALL WHOM IT MAY €0„tbtl„.

Special Notices AN Infallible Remedy.— We are now at that critical season of the year when ex cessively hot weather, and the tree u*e of ice water, fruits and vegetables, are most apt to cre ate disorders of the stomach and bowels which, if not cheeked in time, not unfrequently lead to cholera, diarrhoea and dysentery. Whatever the natural heaith and vigor of man or woman, excessive heat is apt to produce languor as well as inertness in the digestivo organs, and if na ture is not speedily aid« d in tho performance of her natural functions disease must fasten upon the system. Dyspepsia one of the most loathesome and annoying diseases known to the human family, receives its vitality and gains its power from disordered digestion. If taken in its incipient stages it is easy enough to subdue, but when it once gets a fair hold the patient is forced to endure much before he can get perma nent relief. Now, under these circumstances, we ask it it is not passing strange that persons of ordinary capacity become so short-sighted to their own interests as not to avail themselves of a certain and speedy remedy when they find their appetites failing, their stomachs becoming disordered and their digestion growing torpid? And yet such i ases may be found in every neigh borhood, notwithstanding the fact that Baker's Premium Bitters are known to be an inlallible remedy for all such complaints—that they con tain not a particle of mineral poison—and that they are the purest, surest and mo-t active tonic known When taken as per direction they erad icate nervousness in ali its forms, improve the digestion, strengthen the stomach, purify the blood and effectually expel all substances that tend to produce biliousness or ague and fever.— As a family medicine they stand unsurpassed, while tbey give tone to the most debilitated con stitution and vitality to the entire human frame. Try them and test their merits for all diseases of tne biood or stomach. Sold 03- druggists every where. E. BAKER, proprietor au22 Richmond, Va.
