Moreau:dance of the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
PIKEVILLE, September 23, 1869.
I : . After a residence of nearly a year, I
will give my experience in reference to
the health, climate, stock growing, fruit
culture, and productions generally of
this locality. I write for the benefit of
those who, on account of their health, or
other considerations, desire to emigrate to
a mild, genial and healthy climate. If a
man wishes to enjoy physical life to its
fullest extent, this is the place toward
which he should direct his steps. To in
, va 'dß, before you give up all hope, we
t
wild say, come and try our mild- and
br cing climate, and experience the ben
' efi of our medicinal waters. To those
in health, we would say ( if you wish to
escape the severity of Northern winters,
come down here, where the entire Winter
is a scene of active out-door operations.
The past Summer has beep as pleasant as
any I ever enjoyed, while the Winter,
Spring and Autumn so far have
been - the 'most comfortable ' I ever
experienced any where. I have lived
north in latitude of • Pittsburgh, east in
latitude of Cape May, and west in lati
tude of St. Louis, and consider the ag
gregate of comfort during the entire year
as far excelling that of either the above
mentioned places.. The cattle, mules,
sheep and hogs, as well as deer, are in
' fine condition on the broad expansive
pastures of the Table Lands. Theyhave
also thriven well on the cultivated grasses
• of that valley,
the grassea being very nu
tritious, and there being few or no flies
to annoy the animals—a remarkable pe
culiarity of this section. Wool can be
produced very cheaply here. Although
we are so far south, yet winter apples
grow to perfection. All kinds of fruit
known to our country grow well here,
except oranges. The cultivation of win
' ter apples is destined to be a source of
profit at no distant day. The largest and
finest specimens of the peach tree may be
-'seen here, and that without cultivation or
.attention. The wheat andoat crops were
good. The corn crop is much shortened
by the drouth that has generally prey ail
-ed in the south and east the past summer,
yet where the land was ploughed deeply
in the spring, the corn is good, notwith
standing the drouth. Deep tillage, ha. proved implements and enterprising
northern farmers, are.the things the South
needs. My father, who moved here from
Pennsylvania last spring, has a field of
corn that will average about forty bushels
of shelled corn per acre, unfavorable as
was the season. The land cost him
-- twenty dollars per i acre, and the corn is
worth one dollar per b ushel.l This field
is rolling upland, and had been badly
farmed for sixty years.
• The,mineralwealth of this country is
, , i
i very great; Eo, iron, plaster, alum, cop.
- : peras, epsian salts, porcelain clay, and
i minerals for dyeing purposes, are all
found here in large quantities. Quite
" a number of northern people have settled
-,', in this country the past year. They are
a peaceful and well-disposed people. The
laws are strictly enforced, and law and
ceder pyevail. Churches and schools are
beginning to prosper, and Sunday schools
are being re-established. White labor is
respected here, which is not the case in
every section of the South. Land hasjust
commenced to advance, and now is the
time to invest. A number of good farms
are for sale at from one to twenty five
' dollars per acre. This land in the North
would sell at from six to ten time& the
price it is held at here.
ANOTHER SCANDAL.
Why Charles 'Dickens Separated from
Ills . 1 Wlfellls Own Statement.
The great novelist, prefaces his letters
as;follows: "you haye not only my fall
permission to show this, but I beg you to
show this to any one who wialuir; to do
me right, or to r.ny one who has been
mialtd in - to doing me !tong." We there
fore take pleasure II presenting his state-
Meats to our read*,:,
"My DEAR----=: 'Mrs. Dickens and
I have lived unhappily together for many
years. Hardly any one who has known
us intimately can fail to have known that
we are in all respects of character and
temperament, wonderfully unsuited to
each other. I suppose, that no two people,
not vicious in themselves, ever were join
ed together, who had greater difficulty in
:understanding one another, or who , had
/less in common.— An attached woman
servant (more friend to both of us than
a ;servant), who lived with us sixteen
years, and is now married, and who was,
and still is, in Mrs. Dickens's confidence
and mine, who had the closest familiar
experience of this unhappiness in Lon
don, in the country, in France, in - Italy,
wherever we have been, year after year,
month after month, week
,after week,
day after day, will bear testimony to this.
"Nothing has, on many occasions,
stood between us and a separation; but
Mrs: Dickens's sister, Georgine Hogarth.
From the ' age of fifteen she has devoted
herself to our house and children. She
has been their playmate, nurse, instruct.
ress, friend, protectress, adviser and com
panion. In the manly consideration to
wards Mrs. Dickens which I owe to my
wife, I will merely remark of her that
the peculiarity of her character has thrown
all the care of the children on some one
.else. I do not know—l cannot by any
stretch of • fancy imagine—what would
have- become of them but for thisaunt
wbo has grown up with them, to whom
they are devoted, and who has sacrificed
the best part of her life and youth to them.
"She has remonstrated. reasoned, suf
'fared and toiled, and come again to pre
vent' a separation between 'Mrs. Dickens
And me. Mrs. Dickens has oftea expressed
to her her sense of her affectionate care
.and devotion in the house—never More
• strongly than within the last twelve
months. •
"For some years past Mrs. Dickens has
-been in the habit of representing to me
that it would be better for her to go away
and live apart; that her al ways increasing
- estrangement made a mental disorder
under which she sometimes labors; more,
that she felt herself unfit for the life she
had to lead ha my wife, and thp.t she
_would be far better away. I ha* uni
formly replied that she must bear our
misfortune, and fight the fight out to the
end; that the children were the first con
sideration, and that I feared - they must
bind us together 'in atipearance.'
"At leagtb, within these three weeks,
it was suggested to me by . Forster, that
even for their sakes, it would surely be
better to reconstruct and rearrange the
unhappy home. I empoviered him to
treat with Mrs. Dickens as the friends of
both of us for one and twenty years.
Mrs. Dickens wished to add, on her part,
Mark - Lemon, and did so. On 'Saturday
last Lemon wrote to Forster that Mrs.
Dickens 'gratefully and thankfully ac
cepted' the terms I proposed to her. Of
the pecuniary part of them, I will only
say that I believe they are as generous as
of Mrs. Dickens were a lady of distinc
tion and I a man of fortune. The re
maining parts of them are easily de
scribed—my eldest boy to live with Mrs.
Dickens and'to take care of her; my eld
est girl to keep my house, both my girls
and all my children, but the eldest son,
to live with main the continued compan
ionship of their Aunt Georgine, for whom
they have all the tenderest affections that
I have ever seen among young people,
and who has a higher claim (as I have
often declared, for many years,) upon my
affection, respect and gratitude than any.
body in this world.
"I hope that no one who may become
acquainted with what I write here, can
possibly be so cruel and unjust as to put
any misconstruction on our separation, so
far. My elder children all understand it
perfectly, and all accept it as inevitable.
"There is not. a shadow of doubt or
concealment among us. My eldest son
and I are one as to it all.
"Two wicked persons, who should
have spoken very different of are, in con
sideration of earned respect and gratitude,
have (as I am told, and, indeed, to my
personal knowledge,) coupled with this
separation the name of a young lady for
whom I have great attachment and re
gard. I will not repeat , the name—l
honor it too much. Upon my soul and
honor, there is not on this earth a more
virtuous and spotless creature than that
young lady. L know her to be innocent
and pure, and as good as my own daugh
ters.
"Further, I am quite sure• that Mrs.
Dickens, having received this assurance
from me, must now believe it in the re
spect I know her to haVe for me, and .in
the perfect confidencel know her to have
in her better momenta to repose in my
truthfulness.
"Con this heacl t again, there is not a
shadow of doubt or concealment between
my children and me. All is open and
plain among us, as though weovere broth
ers and sisters. They are perfectly certain
that I would not deceive them, and-the
confidence among us is without a fear.
—Boston Folio. 'C. D."
Free-Masonry and Freedom In France
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial writes :
The following will not be uninteresting
to your ntimerona Masonic readers, and
in these times of progress it may possess
some interest to the "profane."
The Grand Orient of France recently
suspended all fraternal intercourse with
the Grand Orient of prazil, because the
latter body adhered to and recognized the
Institution of slavery, and discriminated
against negroes being eligible for initia-
tion into Masonry..
At the last meeting of the Grand Orient
of France the question was raised as to
whether that body would,longer maintain
and continue to hold amicable and frater
nal Masonic relations with foreign Ma-
sonic powers, who refused the right of
initiation to any one, simply because of
the color of the skin.
` The subject was warmly and ably dis
cussed; the speakers were unanimous in
their denunciation and condemnation of
this rule or practice as being in direct
violation of the spirit of the institution,
which proclaims to all liberty, fraternity
and equality.
One of the speakers said: "We regret
that in 1869. atter more than a century's
existencz, French Free Masonry should
be under the necessity of proclaiming
anew those principles which= disclosed
in her temples, ad with which she has,
as with a glory, crowned the great prin.
oiples of 1739; by inscribing over the
portals of her temples these eternal truths,
our ancient derice,• 'Liberty, Equality,
Fraternity,' lArip'anse.)
"We regret that Free Masonry should
be obliged to proclaim anew a principle
which, for a long period, thanks to her,
has bad a place in our laws: 'He who
touches the soil of France, or he who is
covered by her flag is free.' [Bravos,
bravos.]
. .
"We have proclaimed to the world,
far 5.) long a time, these great principles,
that we should not have occasion to pro
claim them now. They will remain for
everengraved in - our hearts, and we will
always be as ready to derend them as to
proclaim them." [Great applause.]
The following resolution was then of
fered:
- "The Masonifunder the jurisdiction of
the Grand Orient of France, by_ their le
gal representatives, regularly convoked
in the Annual Assembly of 1869, affirm
that humanity and Masonry are outraged
when color, race or religion are deemed
sufficient to interdict or profane from ini
tiation into the great Masonic family."
The mover - then said, "I alad propose
to request the illustrious Grand Master to
notify all the foreign Masonic powers of
this our action, and to rdake known to
them that hereafter and from this time
forth the Grand Orient of France, breaks
all alliance with every Masonic power
which does not recognize this declaration."
"The mover continues : "The moment
the motion is taken on these propositicuas
—the moment the Grand Orator has con
eluded, let us, with unanimous acclama
tions cover With our French batteries (a
Masonic phrase.) and crown our dipla
ration, so French and so humanitarian."
These words were received with prolong.
ed applause.
The resolutions were then adopted
unanimously, and the vote was followed
with applause.
• The Grand Master then proposed to the
Assembly a triple battery to tne Masons
of all countries, to all brethren—without
distinction, to equality among men, and
that liberty and universal fraternity,
which we come to proclaim, and of which•
we are the defenders. These words were
received with the triple applause, given
with enthusiasm.
The action of the Grand Orient of
France, so in • conformity with the real
professed principles and landmarks of
Freemasonry, but so contrary to the pres
ent practice of the Grand Lodges in the
United States, breaks up and destroys!,
for the time being, all fraternal inter
conrim between the French and American
lodges.
During the last year the Grand Orient
of France recognized what is , termed a
clandestine Masonic organization in the
thy of New Orleans. The reason as:.
signed for this by the Grand Orient is
that the Grand. American Lodges, in vio
lating the true spirit of Masonry, persist
in excluding negroes from the privilege of
initiation in their lodges. It is claimed
that the body recognized is more liberal,
and exclude; none on account of color.

bYELP, SEAWEED TONIC AND
Liver
MANCH/MXCornytaint PILLS win cure Consumption,
and Dyspepia. Lf taken accord
ing to directions. They ae all three to be taken
'at the same time. They cleanse the stomach. re
lax the !Ivor and put itlto work; then the appetite
b ecomes 1300/1 - , — the lboa digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the
diseased matter ripens into the lungs, and the
patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This
is the only way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of pulmonary Consumption. The Pill
moult Syrup ripens the morbid - matter in the
lungs, nature throws It off by an envy expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter le ripe a
slight cough will throw it off. and the patient has I
rest and the lungs begin-to heal.
T• do his, freelyaeed 'I onic and Mandrake
Pills must be used to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pubnonte Syrup and the
food will make good blood.
Schenck '8 Mandrake Fills act upon the liver.
removing all obstructions. relax the ousts of the
le agllbladder, the bile starts freely. and the liver
soon relieved; the stools will show what the
Pills can do; nothing has ever been Invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly po'aen w, ich to very dan
gerous to use un•ess with great care,) that will
Unloek the gall bladder and start the secretions
of the liver like Schel•cit's Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one s of the most prominent
souses of Consumption.
Schenck 's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
ttetnd alterative. and the alkali in the Seaweed,
rYhfch this preparation la made of. assists the
()mach to throw Out the gastric Syrup and
dissolve
the food with the Nun:ionic Syrup, and it Ls made
into good b coca without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physielses do not cure
Consumption is, they try to do too much; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop night sweats, hectic. fever. and by so doink
they derange the whole digestive power*. look.-
ing up the secretions, and eventnall7 the patient
sinks and dies.
,
Dr. Schenck in 'his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. B.e.
move the cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh,
Canker, Ulcerated T hroat, unless the liver and
stomach are made healthy.
If a person nu consumption. of course the
tangs In some way are diseased, either tubercles,
abcesaes, bronchial irritktien, pleura adhesion,
or the lungs area Maas of inflammation and test
decaying. In such cams what must be dotter It
is not only the lunge Drat are wasting, but it is
the whole body. Ihe stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out et to d. Now the
only chance is to tate Dr. Schenck's three medi
cines, which will brine up a tons to the stomach,
the patient will begin o want food, it will digest
easily and make good blood; then the patient be
gins to gain In flesh, and aleaooll as the body be
gins to grow, the lungs commence to heal up,
and the patient gets flea hy and well. This lathe
only way to cure Consumption.
When there Is tie lung disease and only Lit er

Tonle and Mandrake Pills are aufdelent, without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Manarake PHU
freely in ad billions complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed - uninterrupted
health fur many years past, and now weighs 9115
pounds. was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
hi. physicians havlift pronouheed his case hope
