The New York Iron Floating
Battery.
A Urge iron floating battery baa been
building in New York for some years
past. This iron vessel, so mysteriously
docked and bid from public view, has
already been fourteen years under way,
and of course considerable progress has
been made in her construction, and she
could bo finished, if necessary, in one
year. She is four hundred feet long,
and thirty or forty feet in breadth.—
She is built entirely of wrought iron
plates, and each plate seven inches in
thickness; these are attached to her
iron frame to be propelled by two screw
paddles, one on each side of her stern
post. In sinoth water she will run, it is
expected, from twenty to twenty-five
miles per hour; and as she is intended ■
solely for harbor defences, she will have j
smooth water to run in at all times.—
She can, by her double propulsion pow
er, by reversing one of her screws, turn
in her own axis, or in the space of four
hundred feet. She is to be mounted
-wilh twenty guns, of the heaviest calibre
and longest range. The dock where
this wonderful floating battery is now
lying is very mysteriously guarded.
Owing to the extreme length of the
vessel, rocks have been excavated, and
one of the streets of Iloboken has been
tunnelled to admit one end of the mon
ster. When Mr. Robert L. Stevens died,
he left models to enable Mr. Walker,
the superintendent of her
Ao complete the vessel in accordance
with his original conception. She has
«ost the Government, thus far, over half
a million of dollars, all of which has
been expended, and lately the work lias
been carried on out of the private funds
of Mr. Stevens. This vessel, or two or
three like her, will guard New York
from any force that may be brought
against the piace. She is perfectly irn
jiervious to shot or shell, from Lancaster,
Paixhan or Oolumbiad. The iron plates
of which she is constructed are each
thoroughly tested by camion shot before
being fastened to tho frame of the ves
sel. Her marcliinery is all below the
water line, and out of harm’s way.—
Her speed will make her equal to twenty
or thirty gun-boats of the modern style.
With two or three such vessels, New
York would indeed beimpregnahle.
The Brooks Case.
Washington, July 14. —The House
to-dav resumed the consideration of the
Brooks expulsion case. A resolution
was offered reprobating the assault, and
also language on debate personally
offensive to members of Congress, or re
flecting in any State, which was lost by
130 to 74. Mr. Cobb’s resolution
■declaring the House without jurisdiction
was lost by 145 to CG. The resolution
of expulsion was put to the House, and
the vote stood yea 6 121, nays 95—it not
being two-thirds, it was therefore rejec
ts. Mr. Brooks made a speech, announ
cing to the House that he had sent his
resignation to tho Governor of South
Caroliua. He then retired from the
hall.
Fatal Railroad Accident.
John Lay blue, an Engineer on the
Georgia Railroad, was killed on Sunday
morning, about sixty miles irom Augusta,
through some malicious person having
cut the cross ties and turned over the
rails. When tho train approached the
.pot, the locomotive, “Atlanta,” was
turned over and John Laybluo was
instantly killed.
An inquest was held by L. Levy,
Esq., on his body, and a verdict in ac
cordance with the above facts returned.
We are informed that the nefarious action
which caused the death of Mr. Layblue,
had been attempted several times within
the last six or eight weeks in the same
neigtiborhood. The deceased had been
on the Georgia Railroad about two
months; ho was formerly for 17 years in
the employ of the Charleston Railroad
and was much respected. He leaves a
■wife and five children in Charleston.

Arrest For Negro Stealing.—We
are informed, on what we consider good
authority, that a man named Knight
-was yesterday arrested in Girard, Ala.,
at the instance of Mr. Brown, of Jones
county, better known as P. B. Brown,
,(on account of his celebrated Peach
Brandy,) charged with stealing a negro
man named “Abe,” tli£ property of Mr.
Brown. Abe was well known in Macon,
where for a long time he was a check
taker, at aR. R. Depot in that city; he
4s a mulatto, fine-looking, and very in
telligent. He had been in this city pri
,or to the arxest, and was recognized by a
jjentleinap wlw knew him, but was not
>aware ,o.f bis peculiar “ mission.” Mr.
t&ronre returned yesterday to Macon,
taking with him his negro and the par
ty implicated. These are all the partic
ulars we bave been able to obtain, but
we they will be found substantial

Testimony of a “Free State” Man.
—Tho Herkimer county (N. Y.) Ameri
ican contains a long letter from an antt
slavcrv man in Kansas. After giving
some account of the outrages by the
Abolitionists, he says:
“I am not a pro-slavery man, but I do
despise, most heartily, this hot-headed
meddlesome spirit, which so extensively
exists in our country. I honestly be
lieve that the Abolitionists of tho Ter- j
ritory are the aggressors in nearly everv '
case of difficulty which lias occurred
here—at least, so far as tnv humble
knowledge extends this is positively true.
I go about my own business, and have
no fears of being molested ; nor do I
think there is the least danger of any
person being 'molested who wishes to
have peace. It is tho lawless of both
parties that fear danger. I Iresitate not
to avow- tny principles (which are no
slaves and no free negroes in Kansas,)
even to Missourians, who pass my house
almost daily, and they say that every
man had a right, in this country, to his
own views and they have no disposition
to interfere with any man’s Jrights, &e.
1 hey seem friendly and well disposed,
but despise highway robbers and Abo
litionists.”
Always do What is Right.—The
truly great are those who always do what
is right. To be withheld from acting
wisely and conscientiously, by motives
of temporary policy and fear, is to be
have like a traitor to the principles of
justice. A man should think less of
what may be said of his conduct at the
time, than of the verdict that may be
pronounced a few years in advance.—
It is by neglecting this, by sacrificing
principle to expediency, that character
lost is with difficulty regained. Besides,
the first decline from right leads to others.
It is like the start in sliding down hill.
But there is a worse feature than even
in succumbing to baseness, meanness or
wrong. Ilahit soon drills the inoral
perception, so that in time men come to
perpetuate, without a remorseful pang,
acts at which they would have been as
tounded. “Is thy servant a dog that
he should do this tiling?" is tho indig
nant exclamation of many a person,
who eventually commits the very deed
he abhorred. Arnold’s treason grew up
in his mind by slow degrees, nurtured
by extravagance and supposed neglect.
Washington, always being rigidly cor
rect, left behind a name that will never
cense to be reverenced. To say merely
that “ honesty is the best policy,” and
thus appeal to the selfish part of nature,
is a poor way to educate man to do
right conscientiously. Better tho No
bler and higher ground, that should bo
done for right’s sako.— Philadelphia

Weather and Crops in the Socth
west. —The Albany Patriot of Saturday
says:—This section has been visited
with copious rains dur tig tho present
week, and tho weather has been much
more pleasant and agreeable than it was
last week. The corn cropgenerully may
be considered as pretty well made, and
not liable to suffer to any great extent
from future changes in the weather.
Cotton is doing well.
A private letter to the Editor, from a
gentleman in Early county, under date
of June 27th, says:—“We have very dry
weather, but tho crops are good. —
Wheat, oats and rye have goneraly been
gathered, and turned out well. Plenty
of vegetables. Peaches begin to ripen,
apples and watermelons in abundance.
A Silver Plated Fire Engine for the
city of San Francisco, California, is now
on exhibition at an establishment in
Roxbury, Mass. Its cost it is stated, was
SB,OOO. The silver is worth $3,000, and
the ornamental work cost $5,000.
The New York Clipper contains an
account, from a correspondent in Wa
tertown, Conn., of a fight between a
hawk and a hen. The hawk seized one
of the hen’s chicks and made off with
it, upon which the parent hen immedi
ately took flight after the theif, which
she overtook about 100 feet from terra
firma, and gave him such a drubbing
that he was glad to let fall the chick and
escape with his life.
If you love others, they will love
you. If you speak kindly to them, they
will speak kindly. Love is repaid with
love, and hatred with hatred. Would
you hear a sweet and pleasant echo,
speak sweetly and pleasantly yourself.
“ Don’t tell me of to-morrow,
Give me the man who’ll say,
That when a good deed’s to be done,
Let's do the deed to-day 1
We may command the present,
If we act and never wait;
But repentance is the phantom
Os the past that comes too late!”
Gentility consists not in birth, wealth,
manners or fashion, but in a high sense
of honor, and a determination to do
what is right, to the best of our ability,
under all circumstances —that is, “to
do justice, to love mercy, and walk hum
bly before God.”

Augusta, Jan. 24, 1856. »»C-2i£k
er Messrs. P. Dayis & Son.—Gents:
Before I left Mergul, both Karens md Burmans
had found out the value of your Pain Killer, and
I could readily have disposed of a large quantity
of it among them. It seems particularly effica
cious in cholera morbus, bowel complaints, and
other diseases to which the natives of Burniah,
from their unwholesome stylo of living, arc pe
culiarly exposed. It is a valuable antidote to
the poison of Centipedes, Scorpious, Hornets,
and the like I have been twice stung by Scor
pions, and in both cases eased tho mo3t excru
ciating pain and entirely prevented the swelliug
by applying the Pain Killer. Oil our voyage
homeward from India, the Captain of the ship
was taken with vomiting and purging and other
simptoms of cholera. I gave him a g,)od dose
of Pain Killer with the most immediate and hap
py result. Sn entire and speedy was the rolief,
that he assured me he would never again go a
voyage without your excellent medicine, if he
could possibly procure it.

A Word for the Little Ones.
Tite comfort and health of their
children is the legitimate source of much anxiety
to those parents who wish to perform faithfully
their duties to their offspring, and yet this very
anxiety prompts them often to seek the aid of
medical men, {who of course must give something
to the child to gratify the parent ,) while, in nine
cases out of ten, all that the child requires is a
gentle and skilful friction, so as to arouse to ac
tion the “minpte superficial vessels so apt to
become torpid in infancy;” for this reason the
most experienced nurses and physicians have
never ceased, since its great virtues were uni
versally known and acknowledged, to recom
mend the “ Balm of Thousand Flowers,” which
creates great elasticity and strength of limb,
general health of body, and beauty of complex
ion : all which is remarkably apparent in those
children who have been judiciously subjected to
the benign and sanitary influence of the “Balm.*

Mr. A. C. Day.—Dear Sir—lt is with pleasure
that I testify to the character and value of D ay’s
M agical Cleanser, after having used it for some
six or seven years. In the year 1830,1 was hav
ing a house built, and by accident, a small bucket
of ivory black was turned over upon anew laid
floor of my house, which when wiped up, left a
black spot as large us the bottom of a half bushel.
After rubbing this spot with stro ig soap suds, I
poured on it about three ounces of your Magical
Cleanser, and rubbed it over the spot well with
a cloth, for some five minutes, which removed
entirely all stain of the black from the floor.
I have frequently applied it to grease spots on
clothing, and have no hesitancy in saying that it
is/<ir superior to anything of the kind I have ever
seen used. It removes the spots or stains with
out the slightest injury to the color or texture of
the goods, is easily applied, and requires but u
few moments to perform its work.

CATHARTIC PILLS
OPERATE by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the b!»x>d and
stimulate it into heal thy action. They remove
the obstructions of the’stomach, bowels, liver,
and oilier organs of the bodv, and, by restoring
their irregular action to health, correct, wherever
they exist, such derangements .as are the first
causes of disease. An extensive trial of their
virtues, by Professors, Physicians and Patients,
has shown cures of dangerous diseases almost
beyond belief, were they not substantiated by
persons of such exalted position and character
as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Their
certificates are published in niy American Al
manac, which the agents below named are pleas
ed to furnish five to all inquiring.
• Annexed we give Directions for their use in
the complaints which thsv have been fouud to
cure.
For CosTTvr:,-ess.—Take one or two rills, or
sy'm quantity as to gently move the bowels.
Costiveness is frequently the aggravating cause
of Piles, and the cuie of one complaint is the
cure of both. No person can feel well while
under a costive habit of bodv. Hence it should
be, as it can be, promptly refieved.
For Dyspepsia, which is sometime the cause
of Costiveness, and always uncomfortable, take
mild doses—from one to four—to stimulate the
stomach and liver into healthy action. Thev
will do it, and the heartburn, boilyhirn and soul
burn of dyspepsia will rapidly disappear. When
it has gone, don’t forget what cured you.
For a Fon. Stomach, or Morbid Inaction of the
Bowels , which produces general depression of
the spirits and bad health, take from four to
eight Pills at first, and smaller doses afterwards,
until activity und strength is restored to the
system.
For Nervousness. Sick Headache, Nausea,
Pain in the Stomach, Back, or Side, take from
four to eight Pills on going to bed. If they do
uot operate sufficiently, take more the next day
until they do. These’ complaints will be swept
out from the system. Don’t wear these and
their kindred disorders because your stomach is
foul.
For Scrofula, Erysipelas, and all Diseases of
the Skin, take the Pills freely and frequently, to
keep the bowels open. The eruptions will gen
erally soon begin to diminish and disappear.
Many dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed
up by the purging and purifying effect of these
Pills, and some disgusting diseases which seemed
to saturate the whole system, have completely
yielded to their influence’, leaving the sufferer in
perfect health. Patients! your duty to society
forbids that you should parade yourself a round
the world, covered with pimples, blotches, ul
cers, sores, and all or any of the unclean dis
eases of the skin, because your system wants
cleansing.
To Purify tiie Blood, they arc the best medi
cine ever discovered. They should be taken
freely and frequently, and the impurities which
sow the seeds of incurable diseases will be swept
out of the system like chaff before the wind. By
this property they do as much good in prevent
ing sickness as by the remarkable cures which
they are making everywhere.
Liver Complaint, Jaundice, and all Bilious
.1 feet ions arise from some derangement—either
torpidity, congestion, or obstruction of the Liver.
Toroid if y and congestion vitiate the bile, and
render it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous
to the health, and the constitution is frequently
undermined by no other cause. Indigestion is
the symptom. Obstruction of the duct which
empties the bile into the stomach causes the bile
to overflow into the blood. This produces jaun
dice, with a long and dangerous train of evils.
Costiveness, or uTternatelv costivencss and diarr
hoea, prevails. Feverish symptoms, languor,
low spirits, weariness, restlessness, and melan
choly, with sometimes inability to sleep, and
sometimes great drowsiness; sometimes there
is severe pain in the side; the skin and the white
of the eyes become a greenish yellow ; the stom
ach acid; the bowels sore to the touch; the
whole system irritable, with a tendency to fever,
which may turn to bilious fever, bilious colic,
bilious diarriioea, dysentery, Ac. A medium
dose of three or four Pills taken at night, follow
ed by two or three in the morning, and repeated
a few days, will remove the cause of all these
troubles. It is wicked to suffer such pains when
you can cure them for 25 cents.
Rheumatism* Gout, and all Inflammatory Fe
vers, are rapidly cured by the purifying effects
of these Pills upon the blood, and the stimulus
which they afford to the vital priucple of life.
For these and all kindred complaints, they should
he taken in mild doses, to move the bowels
gently, but freelv.
Asa Dinner Fill, this is both agreeable and
useful. No Pill can be made more pleasant to
tuke, and certainly none has been made more
effectual to the purpose for which a dinner pill
is employed.
