Tint Croup. —Hum to prevent it. —A correspon
dent of the New York Mirror, a medical practi
tioner, in an article on this subject, says:
“The premonitory symptom of croup is a shrill,
sonorous cough. The patient is not sick—has no
fever, as often in a common cold—is lively, perhaps
even gaver than usual; his hands are cool, his tac*
not flush, possibly a shade j>aler tlian usual. The
solitary symtoro mav last for a few days, with no
materia] increase ot abatement, and without attract
ing any notice, suddenly, however, the disease,
hitherto latent, bursts forth in all its fatal fury, and
too often continues its ravages unchecked to the
dreadful consummation. The remedies for this
system of croup are simple, and in most instances
perfectly efficient. They are ; s mustard poultice,
or a strip of flannel dipped in oil of turpentine, or
spirits of hartshorn, applied to the throat, and
nauseating doses of Hives’s syrup, to be continued
as long as the cough remains. By this timely em
ployment of mild agents, 1 unhesitatingly assert
that a multitude of lives might be saved every
week that are now lost through negligence and de
lay.”
A Washington correspondent of the New York
Commercial Advertiser says : “The senation caus

Sensible Advice.—The New York Herald thus i

Railroad Accident.— We are very sorry to learn
that an accident occurred on the Greenville Railroad
yesterday morning, at the Trestle this side of
Frost’s Mill. It appears, from our information, that
in crossing this trestle the engine mounted the
rail, and thumped on the cross-ties for some dis
tance, when the engine, and perhaps one or more
ears, wore precipitated from the track twelve or
more feet. As it was a freight train the injuries to
persons were comparatively trifling. One engi
neer was severely hurt, but it is supposed not dan
gerously. The damage to property, we have not
ascertained.— Columbia Carolinian, 80 th inst.
The New York Journal of Commerce states that
the stock has all been taken for running n tele

miles, of which 60 will be sub-marine. The re
mainder, 820, will lie extended over marshes, on
the ground, and will of course, require insulation.
The persons contracting to construot the lino, stip
ulate to have it completed in eighteen mouths from
the present time. It is a great undertaking, and
should a line of steamships he put on the route
from Galaway to Halifax touching at St Johns, as
is contemplated, London will be brought within six
dnvs of New York.
Change of Contractors. —The Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad Company have given Messrs.
Mclntosh A Co., a portion of the con tract given to
Mr. Murdoch, between this place and the river.
Before being better informed, we feared that it
would injure Mr. Murdoch. But it seems that he
lias been left a plentv of work to do, and that por
tion taken olf of his bunds is rather a relief. He
can now concentrate his force and energies and
speedily get through the remainder of his work.
The new Contractors have obligated themselves to
finish their work by the Ist December next, or
forfeit #l5O per day for all delay. But as they are
men of capital, experience, and' perseverance, they
will not fail to “make time.” Then we mav calcu

Foreign Markets.
Subsequent to the sailing o f the Arctic, on the 7th, the
Cotton market at Liverpool continued inanimate, with a
turn in price* in fitvor of buyers, though hardly to a quotable
extent, in American qualities above middling, which, with
all lower grades, have declined one-sixteenth of a penny »
lb. since fee commencement of the present month. The
sales of fee week are stated at 47,940 hales, of which specu
lators have taken 8,960 bales, and exporters 4.770 bales
The aufeoriaed quotations, at the close of the market, on toe
9th inst., were sd. for New Orleans iair; as)d.' for Mid
dlings ; 4 7 ,d. fbr Upland iair , AVd.' for Middling. The
sales on Friday, were 6,000 hales, at steady prices.
•LIVERPOOL, Friday, Jan. 9.—Estimated sales to-day,
6.000 bales, at full rates. The stock in port proved to be
42,000 bales more than appeared by our weekly estimate,
partly arising from fee export having been 32,090 bales lea,
than reported, as stated in our Circular of the sth inst., and
which diderence should have been added to stork instead of
consumption. There lias been a fair demand for Cotton
since the commencement of fee year, particularly during
the last six days, in which period there has been a steady
and regular export business going forward of 1,000 pales
per day, in addition to fair sales to fee trade, making about
6,700 bales par day h r fee quantity taken out of the market.
This, however, has scarcely been sufficient to sustain
prices, and the market has consequently been heavy, and
entirely without animation. American descriptions, how
ever, are but little changed in value since Friday lost, al
though certainly l-16fe of a penny per pound lower than
at fee close of last month for the middling and common
Cotton. The soles of the week amount to 47,940 bale*, of
which 2,670 were American, and 1,290 Sura, were taken on
speculation, with 4,21(0 American, 80 Egyptian, and 450
Sprat for export, leaving Sr fee trade 39,210 bales.—Hoi

Opinions of the Press.
Socthern Cultivator. —The January No. of this
valuable Agricultural Paper, has reached us. It
has been changed to a large octavo, of 32 pages,
and Is much improved in matter and manner.
Owing to the fiery ordeal through which the pub
lisher, Win. S. Jones, Esq., has lately passed, the
Number before us has been delayed a week or two
beyond its time, but the subscribers will lose noth
ing thereby, but rather gain from the indomitable
enterprise manifested by the proprietor, in fhmish
jng them an improved sheet. Daniel Lee, M. D.

The Southern Cultivator. —We welcome the
appearance of the January number of this valuable
Agricultural Journal, anil take pleasure in com
mending it to our readers as one of the best publi
cations of the kind in the Union. The talile of
contents in the present number is unusually interest
ing and varied. All the several departments con
tain much of importance and value to the planter
mid the horticulturist. Under the supervision of
its able editors, enriched by the contributions of
the most experienced cultivators of the soil, it de
served] v occupies the highest rank among our Agri
cultural Monthlies. It is issued in fine style, with
new type, and contains illustrations which add
much to its perspicuity and value. No planter can
make a better investment than by subscribing to
the Southern Cultivator. Address Dr. Wm. S.

The ‘•Southern Cultivator,” published at Au
gusta, Geo., is also another superb Agrieultu ra
paper, the Prospectus with the terms annexed, can
be read in another column. The “Cultivator” is
now in its 10th year, and the January No. now be
fore us, gives evidence tliat the “never &il” pub
lisher is making his very useful and agreeable pa
per, more and more acceptable to Southern and
y\ estero Planters and Farmers. The “Cultivator”
for several years has been one of the most bril
linnt lights in the South for the instruction and
edification of the Farmers, Planters, Horticulturists,
stock, cattle, swine, sheep, and poultry raisers,
&Q. A recent destructive nre in Augusta burned
out the Publisher, but Phoenix like, (the expres
sion is stale but literally truthful in this instance,)
his paper has come out of the ashes, laiger, hand
somer, and more interesting than ever.
But enough. Our reading farmer, will look at
the prospectus, and instead of the dozen or so “Cul
tivators” now taken in the oounty, we hope hun
dreds will soon be ordered— Chattanooga Gazette.

Destructive Conflagration.— Shortly after 11
o’clock, last night a fire broke out on the third
floor of the large four story brick building on the
comer of Liberty and Nassau streets, occupied on
the ground floor bv Doremus & Nixon, and Has
tings, Libbcv and Forby, dry goods importers ;
and up stairs' by Fisher ’«fe Robinson, dealers in
laces, &c., and Nicholas K. Oatley, dealer in boots
and shoes. The building was divided by partitions
into two stores,'; known as No, 37 Nassau street
and No. 56 Liberty street, and belonged to Mr.
James Suydani. The windows were covered with
iron shutters which the firemen had some difficul
ty in opening. When these were unfastened so as
to admit water from the engines, the flames made
such progress that the most strenuous exertions to
save the building proved unavailing and it was en
tirely destroyed.
Mr. Ontley’s stock, valued at about $40,000, was
entirely consumed. It was insured for $85,000 in
sums of $5,000 each in the Brooklyn Fire and Ma
rine Insurance Co., the dStna and Hartford compa
nies at Hartford; the Norwich Co., at Norwich,
Conn., the Commercial and Equitable companies
of this city, and another company, the name of
which we have not ascertained.
Messrs. Hastings, Libbey & Forby’s stock was
worth about $50,000. A great portion of it was
rescued in a damaged condition, and stowed in the
lobbies of tho post office on the opposite side of the
street. Their loss is fully covered by insurance.
The entire stock of Messrs. Fisher & Kobinson
was consumed, with their books and papers, but
we have not yet been able to ascertain the amount
of the loss, or whether it is covered by insurance.
The greater part of Messrs. Doremus & Nixon’s
stock was also destroyed. It was very large and
valuable, being worth probably not less than SIOO,-
000. It is generally supposed to have been fully
covered by insurance. All their books and papers
were saved.
From the building in which this great destruction
of property occurred, the flames spread to No. 68
Liberty street, occupied by Messrs. Freeman,
Hodges & Ce., dry goods importers, and John
Lockwood, dealer in sheetings. This store was also
entirely consumed, with the greater part of the
contents. Portions of the stock were saved, 'but
so saturated with water as to be nearly worthless.
Particulars of the ainonnt of loss, and insurance,
are not vet known.
The heat from the conflagration was so intense
that most of the glass in the windows of the buil
ding No. 58 Liberty, on the N. E. corner of Nas
sau street, was melted, and the wood work took
fire several times. The oceupants Messrs. Con
verse, Todd & Graydon, dry goods dealers, Mr.
John L. Salisbury, re folder and ropacker, and Mr.
Cleveland, keeper of a mercantile agonoy, had
their property damaged to a considerable amount
by water, and the upper part of the building,
which belongs to the proprietors of the Evening
Post, was also somewhat injured.
Tiie stocks in the following dry goods stores in
Liberty street, viz: No. 60, Messrs. Bartlett &
Godrieh and C, Mann; No. 62. Messrs. Malcolm &
Gal, A. Jacobi & C'o., and Burcliard, Northrop &
Co.; No. 04, W. Barnes & Co. and F, M. Jones &
Co.; and No. 68, Kobinson <ft Reynold, and Spear &
Risley were more or less injured hy water, and
perhaps the aggregate damage in these establish
ments by this means will not be for from twenty or
thirty thousand dollars.
The store No. 35 Nassau street, which adjoined
that of Messrs. Hastings, Libbey & Forby, was de
ludged with water, winch saved the building, but
has probable damaged nearly the whole of the ex
tensive stocks of the occupants, Messrs. A. & E.
Scheitlin, German importers of hosiery, <fcc., and
Messrs. Compton & Turner, dealers m fancy dry
goods. The former firm are insured to the amount
of SIOO,OOO, in various offloes in this city, Boston
and Philadelphia, and Messrs. Compton & Turner
are also fully insured.
The total loss by this conflagration cannot he
much less than half a million of dollars,

For a length of time Brother Nittbk was in a delicate state
of health, and believing that a Southern climate would bene

a strange land, was prostrated upon his death-bed. But as
soon as it was known he was an Odd Fellow, he wgs sur
rounded by a band of brothers, prepared and teady to ad
minister every comfort, and willing to alleviate his sufferings.
Though it wgs not within the power of them to arrest the
kaiyl of death, yet they divested it of many of its terrors and
softened the pillow of our dying brother.
Now in consideration of the late dispensation of Providence,
and the kind attentions of our brother Odd Fellows in an ad
joining State, it is unanimously
Resolved , That a copy of the above preamble, and these
resolutions, he sent to the family of the deceased brother,
expressive of our sympathy for them in their sad Dereavement.
Resolved That a copy be sent to Florida Lodge, No. 1,
U O. U. F., Jacksonville, Fla., as an evidence of our justap
preciation of their kind attentions to Brother E. O. Nctter,

The advocates of a thorough intellectual training for the
youth of liotli sexes, are respectfully invited to examine the
present claims of this institution.
The idea that the young lady must rest content with less
rigorous discipline in tier course of mental culture, than is
awarded to tier brother, is discarded as unworthy a just
estimate of the female mind, which equally delights in vlg
orous intellectual effort, and cannot but bo dissatisfied with
what is too frequently doled out as a “finished educa
tion.”
Young Indies designing to become Teachers, will here find
every facility for suitably qualifying themselves for Hint most
interesting amt responsible station.
It is believed that unusual freilitios arc also afforded for
acquiring the French language. Instruction in it Is given
by a Indy conversant from early life, with Parisians, and her
pupils are trained to write, speak and think, tn this as
readily as in their native tongue, by familiarising them with
the differences in the idiom and grammatical construction of
each—Dos, no one not practically acquainted with the pecu
liarities of the English language equally witli those of tliu
French, can so well accomplish.
In Instrumental Music, the strictest accuracy in timo is
secured by a process eminently successful. Any amount of
lererence can he given if desired, as to the rapid and en
durmg progress in this department, of numerous former pu
pils in this and other States.
In Vocal Music all are instructed—not to sing a few
pieces by imitation—but to perform from the printed page,
at sight, music they have never heard; and drilled to liiain
parts. While ttiis Is a source of recreation
to the pupil, It IS also one of discipline and refinement. And
thus in every department is there Unit thoroughness w i lic i,

influences, is free from anything of a sectarian tendency.
The location of the Institute buildings is most delightfiil.
