Df.ath or Major H aknkv. —We learn from the
Baton lv -age Advocate tlmt Major Kobt. B. Har
ney, n brother of Oen Harney. U. 8. Army, died
at his residence in Kikton, Tcnn., on the GtLuH., of
a paralytic attack. The Advocate aayfi:
Major Harney had in early life a family hire for
the <l?n and • tni-r of those wars tliat make ambition

Kaxsas Afi aiiu?.—Mr. J. I*. Caku, formerly of
Charleston, writer March -bth from Platte city. Mo.,
to the chairman off Ue Kansas Executive committee
in L’liarleston, as follow c
The election »r members of the Legislature will
beheld on the first Monday in October next. If the
• ;iv< ho’dii.g States n ill -j.-nd us two thousand emi
grant?*—tlmt l**, tv.o thousand voters—during tin.*
present year, our friends bc!!« ve the condition of
Kansas will be definitely settled This is, however,
a mere matter of conjecture, for, of course, we can
not tel! Ihxw large the emigration from the North
will be.
I would state that tin territory lying between the
Kansas and Missouri rivers is now occupied by a
decidedly pro-slavery population. On the South
oi Kansas river, and es- eeially along the river, th<*
Abolitionisti* have made their chief settlement*
It tins occurred ro our lricnds tliat it would be !»ct
ter, us a matter of policy, and as being more South
ern. more agreeable to ihe Southern emigrants, tlmt
a good portion of them should settle South of Kan
*n»riv* r By this means w*e will secure the South
ern half of 11.•• Territory before it is tilled by Aboli
tionist* , the Northern half will be saved by Missou
rians, The reprcseiifativew have already been ap
pointed to Lite nifferenl counties, and adding t<» our
number- N< th of the Kansas river will, not in
crease our strength, for we have a majority there
now : but if the Southern men are distributed among
the counties South of tin* ri\ or, their votes will tell.
The rmo"Tants would still come up the Missouri
river, and land at .Kansas City or Atchison, ns they
niighf dote: mine on going to the Eastern or West
ern portion of th Territory. 1 would suggest that
you should < k, us far as possible, to induce all
w ho have a small number of slaves to come out. —
To such this i« a peculiarly of desirable country, and
they need have no fear «»t their slaves escaping.—
The actual presence of a good number ot slaves
would at once settle this question.
A Railßo \I) in Bita z i l. —The building of a rail
road from Rio de Janeiro to th*; coffee districts Ims
been commenced, and some portion of th*- track has
already been laid with lie vy rails. The correspon

South Carolina College, are either now drunk
ards, or huve filled drunkard’s grave. If this :s
the fitet, and the Judge says that he speaks from

sonic reform in the government of the College or in
the city r* gulations.

The report that the Rev. Henry Ward Bekchur
had quitted the church, and become the proprietor
of a shooting gallery is premature. It is true, how
ever. that he has kicked over the Maine water

The Poet Lamartine. —Tin Paris correspon
dent of the Philadelphia North American thus al
ludes to the French pod Lamartine; “Y ou will be

I that city :
A c did had to all appearances, died, and was laid

not determined on, and private war pre’. ented. p.-id
the volunteers withdrawn from the Wall a Walla
country.
Whilst I was Hj Oregon it was reported to me
that many citizens, with a due propoitiun of v<* , i
teera and two newspapers, advocated the extermi
nation o f the Indians. This priucipk* hri: ,* *n not
ed on in several instances without discriminating
! between cncmiex and friends, which has been t-.*-
causein Southern Oregon of sacrificing many ii.: •»

a/.*t is the cans<* of tiie present contest in tiie 1
Rogue River country, which, as f apt. Judah, T.\ s
Army r<-jK»rts, is retaliatory of the con !a< t of
Major Lupjton.
By the same mail which brought me your com
munication, I received one, now before me, from a ;
person whom I think incapabi** *t misrepr.-aent.i
tion, which informs me that the friend!v Cnyn -es i
are every day menaced with death by G ; v. Cun-v’s i
volunteers. The writer says they have despot *d I
those Indians, who haves.**nobly f*. ? lowed t:.e ad- !
vice of Mr. Palmer to remain fa;:! • ui friends to 1
Americans,of their provisions. To-day, he »n%s.
these same rrisatacm, with* .•
out orders, are not yet satisfied with rapine and in- {
justice, but wish to take away tbe small remnant of
animals and provision.-left. ’Every day they run :
off the horses and cattle of the friendly I;. linns.—
These had become indignant, and will xmt b. much

the volunteers are not aiTChtr din th'-ir brigamf ac 1
tions, the Indians will save themselves by dying r*. j
the homes of their relatives, t!u Nez Perc*-s, who
have promised them help, and then all tie; Indians !
of Oregon and Washington would join in tin* com- I
moo defence. Tins information is in a great mea
sure confirmed by a person who, lam assured, en- 1
joya your confidence. I need nut say, although i
iia*i previously instnu-ted Col. Wright to take pos
session of the Walla-Walla country at tin; earii *t I
moment practicable, that I direfrcl him to give i
protection as soon as he could to the lrienuiy Cayu
ses from iJie depredations of the volunteers.
It is such conduct as here complained of tliat irri- !
tat**B and greatly increases tin- ranks of the host ! •
tribes; and if the N* z Pcrcesjoin in tliewai against j
us, which I hope to prevent, we shall require a I
much larger force than we now have in Washing- i
ton and Oregon Territories to resist the savage bar- '
barity and to protect the whites.
I huve recently sent to Puget’s Sound two com
panies of the Ninth Infantry. These, with the three j
companies there, will give a force of nearly or quite
four hundred regulars, commanded by Lieut. Col. i
Casey. This force, with several ships-of-war in the
Sound, to which will be added in a few days the
United States steamer Massachusetts, it seems to
me, if rightly directed, ought to be sufficient to
bring to terms two hundred Indian warriors. Capt.
Keyes, in his last report recci ved, says there are not !
nuite two hundred arms in that region. Lieut, j
Col. Casey has been directed to jaor-ecute the war j
with the greatest vigilance and activity. The gal
lant Captain Swartwout, who goes in the Massac 4iU- !
setts, Commander-in-chief of the naval forces in the
Sound, will, I am assured, zealously, effectually,
and I trust successfully, cooperate with Co!. Casey
to bring tin; war to a close.
In regard to the operations east of Cascade Moun- ;
tains, ii Governor Curry’s volunteer* have not dri I
veil the friendly Cay uses and tin Nez Perces into
the ranks of the hostile tribes, and they should be 1
withdrawn from tin* Wulluwallaii country, i . \w. :
great hopes that I shall be able to bring the Indians !
m that region to terms, notwithstanding the volun
teers killed the chief, Rin-pin-mox mox, sculped i
him, cut off his ears and lianas, as reported by vol- 1
unteers, and sent them to their friends in Oregon -,
all this, too, after he met them under a ling of truce,
declaring he was for pence, that he did not wish to
fight, that his people did not wish to fight, “and i
that if any of his young men had done wrong, he
would make restitution,” while at the same time I
he offered the volunteers cattle for food. Such
conduct may have caused feelings difficult to ever
come. 1 trust, however, I will he able to do it. j ,
As soon as this war is terminated east of the Cas
cade mountains, I will be able to send all my dispo- | i
sable forces against the Indians on Rogue River’ :
and Puget'S Sound. It is, however, due to truth to
say that at no time were the volunteers required,or j
in any sense of the term necessary for the defence
of the inhabitants of Oregon from the depredations \
and barbarities of the Indians occupying the country ,
east of the Cascade mountains. Nor was there any ]
circumstance to justify Gov. Citrry in sending hi-* ,
troops from Oregon* to Washington Territory to .
make war on the WnllaWalias, frmn win * u the Or**- ,
gonians had no danger whatever to ap;>r< hi nd.—
On tliis subject, I would refer you to the report •
of the Secretary of War, dated the 3d of Decem
ber, relating to the affairs of the army, in which In
says:
“The Department, at tliis distance, and in the ab
sence of more definite information, ••specially in re
gard to the extent of the combination among the
hostile tribes, cannot judge what volunteer rein
forcement to the regular troops may be necessary. ,
This is a matter which must necessarily b ; left to
the military commander of the department of the
Pacific.”
At the conclusion of your communication yoti say
it is due to frankness that—
“l should state that I have determined to submit
to the Department tin- course taken by the military .
authorities in disbanding the troops raised in the
Territory of Washington for my relief. No effort
was made, although th«* facts were presented both
to Major General Wool, and Major Rains, to send
me assistance. The regular troops were all with
drawn into the garrison, and I was left to make my
way the best 1 could through tribes known to be
hostile. It remains to be seen whether the com
missioner selected by the President to make treaties
with the Indians in the interior of the continent is
to be ignored and his safety left to chance.’*
In your frankness and determination to represent
me to the Department, i trust you will be governed
by truth only. Perhaps it is equally due to frank
ness on my part to say that your communication is
the first tlmt J have received in relation to yourself,
or on any subject whatever touching the Indian war,
from any civil functionary either in Washington or
Oregon Territory; and I have received but one
from the military, and that was from Col. Nesmith,
who requested me to furnish him two howitzers,
which I refused. I have only to add that 1 have
disbanded no troops raised for y*.v” relief; ami
your communication gave me the fnst intelligence
that any were raised for such a purpose.
I am, very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t,
John K. Wool.,
Major-General United States Army.
Mountains of Silver.- —A letter iu the New York
Sun, purporting to give an account of a recent ex
ploration iu the Miisilla Valley, says :
We have seen ami examine*! the “Silver Moun
tains of Arizona,” on the line of 3*2 . They are but
a short fifteen miles south of Gray’s line for the
Southern Pacific Railroad, and I assure you that for
miles together the richest ores—richer and more

Mountains.'”
Santa Anna. —A New Granada correspondent of
the New York Herald lately visited the e.\-Dictator
of Mexico at his quiet residence, a few leagues from
Carthogena, and describes his appearance in the fol
lowing manner :
Santa Anna has all the appearance of a well pre
served man of fifty, about five feet ten or eleven
inches in height, with a large robust person, erect
and somewhat rotund , his eyes are dark, and the
projecting brow gives them a .unken appearance,
making their color changeable with the varying
light; complexions fine olive, no whiskers or uie>
tach, and, with the exception of a lew crow’s feet
about the corners of the eyes, no wrinkles are to bo
seen about his face or brow; his hair is of a light
iron gray color, but 1 am told he uses a dye for it.—
lie entered the room slowly, walking with some ap
parent labor and quite lamely, using a cane, llis
dress was that of a plain Southern gentleman ; pan
taloons of a small check on a brown ground; light
vest, thin brown coat, loose neck cloth, and well
made boots. The only ornament was a pin of large
bri Hi antes in his bosom. From his reference to dates
during the conversation, 1 deduced his age to be
fiftv nine, and in reply to the question, he told me
that his birth-day was the 21st of February.

Til in i) I»ay.—The large concourse of people who
attended the Metairie Course on Thursday, says the
New Orleans Picayune of the 11th inst., were am
ply repaid by witnessing two well contested races,
v. liic.i, in point of interest, have rarely been equal
ed. The amount of money which changed upon the
result of the second ruce would seem almost fabu
lous. The course was in as good condition as could
reasonably be expected without the aid of moisture
which, in tin shape of rain, is sadly needed. The
ladies' stand, as is almost always the case at the
Metairie, presented a formidable array of the
Dir x, who seemed delighted with the exciting
F«»r the first race, although there were originally
eleven nominations, but two crime to the post, viz :
Gen. Wells’s b. f. by imp. Sovereign, out of the dam
of Lucomle, and Col. A. L. Bingaman’s b.c. by imp.
Sovereign,,out of Belay Coody—the former the fa
vorite as high ns Ito I. This was owing to her suc
cess in the “Equus Strikes” tiie week previously,
when she beat the party handily, the second heat,
in 1:15. She was not called upon to show her rapid
stylo upon this occasion, for although her competi
tor started off upon each occasion like an arrow
from au archil’s bow, ii was of no avail, for upon
the back stretch, in both lieates, she was in the lead
arul maintained her position in gallant style, with
out am pparent effort.
The second race afforded a deal of sport, and, as
we stat' d before, a deal of money changed hands—
each oi (he colts iu turn being a favorite.
The first heat was won bv C'apt. Minor’s Varia
tion, taking the lead from the star t, and keeping it
throughout, in 1.50 j.
S> /./ Tfvot. —This heat looked, for a half mile,

fore making the turn for the homestretch, when a

advantage iu the early part of the run home, and

The Destructive Fire in Philadei.paia,—
The following arc the particular* of the great fire at
Philadelphia on the night of the 10th iust. :
The fir** broke out in the upper part of the Artisan
building, a vast establishment, five stories in height,
forming a hollow square in the rear of Chcsnut and
Fourth streets, occupied by various branches of
manufacture, which, together with nearly all the
cold enis, was entirely destroyed. Every part of the
building was tenanted by workshops, with valuable
machinery driven by an eighty horse power engine
in the basement.
Mr. Duval, the well known Lithographer, occu
pied one floor. Tlis loss is estimated at SIOO,OOO, on
which he has but S3O 000 insurance He had forty
steam presses and an immense stock of stones, &c.,
including the lithographs of Commodore Perry’s Ja
pan Expedition for the Government, and plates
worth SIO,OOO, all complete and ready to be sent oft*.
Other occupants, ns far as ascertained, lose as fol
lows: Watts, silver smith, $3,000, uninsured ; Gas
kell’s book-bindery, loss very heavy ; G. W. Sim
mers & Brother, jewellers, $20,000, insured for
SB,OOO ; Messrs. C. C. P. Warner, gold watch
ease makers, loss $15,000, insured for $-*>,000; Up
dyke. gold chain maker, loss heavy ; not'g&certain
cii: George Heppard, jeweller, loss not ascertained
but heavy ; Samuel Eakins, electro-plater, partly
insured ; Williams, paper Stainer , Morgan, spec
tacle maker ; Warner &. Thompson, printers ; Boss,
stair rod manufacturer ; Messrs. Portlier’*, blank
book manufacturers ; Husk, cloth and satinet print
er, whose loss is SBO,OOO, insured for SIO,OOO. and J.
Camp, lithograaher. The total loss is not yet esti
mated, but it must prove very heavy. The fire
was so rapid that scarcely anything was saved ex
cept from the lower floors.
The rear of the United States Hotel on Chestnut
j street adjoined the building, and its destruction
, seemed inevitable. The boarders took alarm aud
i tied for safety, but the damage to the building from
! fin* waa very slight. It was, however, flooded with
Robert Pile and M. Hroy, printers, also occu
pied the building which was owned by Coper
thwaite, and valued at $60,000, covered by insu
rauce. Messrs. Cowpertliwaite & Co., booksellers,
had some $12,000 worth of stock among the various
printing and binding establishments, which was
mostly insured. The aggregate of the loss is gup
posed to be not Jess than $300,000, The flukes of
fire ignited the roof us the old Masonic Hall, on
Third--street above Spruce, and damaged it to some
extent. The property was recently sold aud was un
occupied.
An invalid lady, Mrs. Margaret Christie, occupy
ing the house adjoining the U. S. Hotel, died during
the tire, from fright.
Ship Ashore on Cape Romain. —Capt ßarnes
of the ship Omar Paßcha, arrived in Charleston on
Friday, and reported that when his ship passed Cape
Romain about 10 o'clock that morning, he saw a
large ship ashore on the Northern side of the Cape,
inside of the outer shoal. From oil that could be
seen, the ship bore a strong resemblance to the ship
Abbey Lungdou, (of New-York.) Hall, master,
which vessel sailed from Havre about the time the
Omar Pacha left, bound either to Charleston or Sa -

Affairs of Central America— Important
M- VI MEN S OF IHE ENGLISH ANL FRENCH FLEETS.
—Ti. N. York Herald of the 10th inst. says : Our
advices from llayti bring the important intelligence
that on the Bth ultimo four English and two French
nien-oi-war. lately composing part of the Baltic,
fleet, arrived iu the roudstead of Port au Prince.—
lr is added that other vessels were expected and
that from twelve to fourteen thousand French troops
had been disembarked at Guadalaupe. As English
v. would hardly be emplevea in the enforce
ment of French claims against llayti, we are led to
iu-k what are the objects and destination of this for
midab. expedition .’ An armed intervention in the
affairs of Central America could not certainly be
d< rermined upon, fwithout some notice of it having
been given to our government.

article in the New*York Herald says that two hun
dred vears ago, *• the ship Unrest,'* the first vessel
j built in New York,or New Amsterdam, as the great
i city was then called, was launched on the East
' River. She was exactly 44 £ feet long, and 11$ feet
breadth of beam. The last vessel built in New-York
1 is the steamer Adriatic, 354 feet long, breadth of
! beam 50 feet (broader than the whole length of the
“ Unrest/’) depth 33 feet, and registered 5,888 tons.
The first regular pioneers in ocean steam naviga
tion, and whose experienced voyages demonstrated
i it* practicability, were tin- Sirius and Great W ee
! tern, which cn*ssedthe Atlantic eighteen years Ago
—the former from Cork. Irekind, and the latter
| from Bristol, England. The Sirius arrived in New
York on the 23d April, 1838. after a passage of 18
days, and the Great Western on the same day, after
a passage of fifteen days. These two vessels corn
| pletely demolished Dr. Larduer'a philosophical and
elaborate argument against the practicability of
making long voyages by steam. Since that time
I the venerable savant has’ subsided into a state of
, quiescence, and acknowledged that there are some
: things in steam not dreampt of in his philosophy.
The Great Western, considered then a monster in
dimensions, was 240 feet in length and registered
1,340 tons. The Persia, the new Cunard iron steam
! ship is 320 feet long and registers 5,600 tons. But
these leviathans, says the Herald, sink into insigni
ficance when compared with the mammoth iron
steamer now building at London for the Eastern
Steam Navigation Company. We have before given
a detailed description of this gigantic vessel. Suf
fice it to add, in the language of the Herald, that
I “ her length is 680 feet; her draft of water, when
! loaded. 28 feet; her register 28,000 tons, and she is
j to be propelled by a gigantic screw, 23 feet in di
ameter, and by four paddles, beside the sails which
; she will have seven masts. With this motive pow
er it is calculated that her average speed will be
twenty-three knots an hour. Besides a large num
ber of life boats, she is to carry eight small screw
1 steamers, each 110 feet long. These will be cm
j ployed in taking on board and landing passengers
and cargo, as it will be impossible for her to ap
proach near the shore, in consequence of her great
draft of water. Her accommodations will be am
ple enough for 600 first class passengers. 1.800 se
cond class, and 10,000 troops, with all their field
equipments. The estimated cost of this leviathan,
which we understand is to be called the “Great East
ern,” is over one and a half million dollars.— Kick.

New Granada. —All parties concur in stating
that the mineral wealth of the country is immense
beyond belief. The valley of the Cauca, particular
ly in its more northern part, in the Province of An
tioquia, is rich in mines and washings, and it is
there that the river Force runs, styled the Pactolus
of America. From one bucketful! of its sands, half
a pound of gold has often been washed out. These
countries are difficult of access, from their moun
tainous character. In the Province of Buenaven
tura also, lying on the Pacific, the agents of Gen.
Mosquera have laid open some very rich mines of
gold and silver. An American gentleman resident
there, Mr. Joseph Gooding, has recently entered an
old mine, which he lias newly opened, and it promi
ses a most abundant yield. An analysis of the ore
in New York, gives ft a value of $27 a ton ; and,
besides the fact that it can be easily worked, it is
situate on a deep arm of the Magdalena river, where
steamboats of the largest draught of water can ap
proach within a few huudred yards of the mine. As
soon as he shall form the company for the purpose of
working it, it is expected that the yields of the mine
will equal that of the richest in the world.
! Kansas. —Mr. Oliver, of Missouri, arrived at St.

; cumstanoes.attending the recent elections in that
Territory. The commission is expected to begin its

! St. Louis Republican, in speaking of the Free State
Legislature, states that the Grand Juries of the Cir
cuit Court, under the instruction of Judge Lecompte,
have indicted not only the members, but all the
judges of election ; and that it was the intention of
the Judge, at his term iu Douglas, to commence
about the first of this month, to have bills found

Witchcraft in Virginia. —A correspondent of
the llaidy Whig relates au instance of superstition
and ignorance, which may be properly classed be
side the popular spirit rappings of the North. A
man residing in Hardy county, whose infant son had
been complaining during the past winter, became
confirmed in the opinion that Ins child was bewitch
ed. So iu order to conciliate the spirits of evil, he
kindled a large fire and threw his hog (the only one
he possessed) alive into the flames, and burnt it to
ashes ! The only practical result of the sacrifice was
that his wife and children wore deprived of the only
property they possessed upon which they depeuded
for tooif.
Population and Wealth of the Country.—
The new York Herald publishes a table of the popu
lation and wealth of the United States in 1855,
which puts down the total population at 27,114,287,
and the total wealth $8,625,093,172. The popula
tion in 1850 was 23,323,714, and the wealth $6,024,-
660,886. The population of the western States in
creases nearly as rapidly as that of California,
whilst that of the Territories runs far ahead of
that auriferous region. The Southwestern slave
holding States have increased iu population and
wealth nearly twice as rapidly as the New England
States.
The relative increase of wealth in five years is
double that of population.
Attempt at Murder.—A correspondent of the
Charleston Standard writes as follows : A fellow,
l*y the name of Sloan, came from somewhere in
North Carolina, not long ago, got engaged in teach
ing school, and to the daughter of a wealthy gentle
man, living at “the Fork,’” some eleven miles below
Orangeburg village, obtained from his proposed
father-in-law—and on the strength of his intended
marriage—the loan of some two or three hundred
dollars worth of notes, and when, upon the occasion
of some suspicious that all was not right, he was re
quired to deliver them up, put strychnine in the
•wine of the gentleman from whom he obtained them.
No very serious results followed the poisoning, ex
cept that the poisoner is locked up for trial.
Agricultural Statistics.-An important bill has
been brought into the English Parliament by the
government, and which being supported by Lord
Derby, is likely to pass into a law. Twice in every
year the Poor Law Board is to furnish a return in
dicating the food supply of the country from harvest
to harvest. The first return, in the beginning of
June, is to be a statement of facts, showing the
average devoted to each description of crop,
the amount of live stock on each farm. The farmer
is to be compelled to report. The second return is
to be made after harvest, and is to consist of an esti
mate of the probable yield of the crops. These re
ports will be of great use as a guide to operators in
our markets.
Newspaper Folding Machine. —We have re
cently added to the machinery in our office a folding
machine, maim factored by S. H. Weeks, of Colum
bus, Ohio. It is a great saving of time, labor and
expense. It enables us to dispense with the ser
vices and annoyance of a number of boys, that were
hitherto required to fold our paper. The folding is
done more neatly, accurately, and with greater uni
formity than it can be done by hand. The machine
is compact, simple, and substantially made. The
entire frame work is of iron, the rollers of wood. It
can be regulated so as to fold them at the rate of
2,700 per hour. Every newspaper having a large
circulation would find one of these machines very
economical .—LouisviHe Jo u rnat.
Important Decision. —The Supreme Court of
the United States decided on Tuesday that the law
of Ohio imposing additional taxation on the State
Bunk after a charter luid been previously granted
with a limitation to six per cent, on profits in lieu of
all taxes, was unconstitutional. This case involved
the whole power of taxation, and therefore was
treated as one of the most important ever consider
ed. Six Judges were for the decree, and three
against it.
Engi.kh and French Movements in the West
Indies. —A correspondent of the New York Jour
nal of Commerce, writing from Port nu Prince,
March Bth, speaks of an unusal naval force there in
the shape of four English and two French war
steamers. The correspondent says that it was cur
rently rumored that from 12,000 to 14,000 French
troops had been landed at Guadalupe, and that
much interest was exhibited to know the object with
which so large a military force had been thus quietly
despatched to the West Indies.
Gov. Robinson, the free Slate Governor of Kan

The American Geographical Society intend to
have the region of country lying back of Liberia,
thoroughly explored, and are about raising the sum
of sß,ouo to effect this purpose. The present com
merce of Liberia is estimated at from $1,200,000 to
$ 1 ..->OO,OOO. This will soon be increased by the. es
tablishment of regular lines of packets and possibly
by mail steamers from this country. The opening
of an extensive back country to Liberia with good
roads and secure trading posts, would immeasurably
enhance the prosperity ot that Republic, ami would
proportionality increase its commerce with the Uni

Priestly Elopement.— The Malta correspon
dent of the Morning Post, writing on the 26th ult.,
says: “The gossiping community have been very
busy for the last day or two, iu consequence of an
extraordinary elopement of a priest of one of ihe
highest orders with an English lady, the widow of
an officer of the E. I. C. S. lla was iu the habit of
visiting her every day for some weeks past, for the
alleged purpose of teaching the guitar, and on Fri
day morning both were missing. Inquiries were
made, when it was ascertained that they had taken
a passage to Alexandria on board the French
steamer. He had the precaution to change his dress
—that of a Franciscean friar for a smart livery ser
vant's.’’
Beholds the Contrast !—At the North, the
Ministers of the Gospel, arm emigrants to Kansas
with “Sharpe’s Rifles,’’ while in the South, the emi
grants are armed with the “sword of the spirit,”
even the “Word of God." Col. Buford’s battalliou
while in Montgomery, Ala., on Sunday last, attended
Rev. Mr. Tichenor’s church in a body, and there re
ceived, each man, a copy of the Bible, the money
to procure which was raised by contribution from
the audience. Again, we say, behold the contrast!

The Celebration of the Birth Day of Clay—
The Slash Cottage Christened “Ashland.*>
Saturday, the 12th April, the anniversary of tbo
birth of Henry Clay, was celebrated in a very en
thusiastic style by a large company amounting to
some three huudred gentlemen or more, chiefly from
Richmond, but including a Large representation irom
Washington city, among whom were the Attorney
General of the United States, some of the most dis
tinguished Senators of the United States and mem
bers of the House of Representatives. Two trains I
conveyed the company from Richmond, the first
leaving at 3 o'clock. Those from Washington ar- :
rived earlier, accompanied by a very fine baud
from that city. The most liberal and handsome |
preparation had been made,including two immense
Chinese oval shaped bowls, some five by three feet
at the top, and some three or more feet deep. These
rare reservoirs, which represent in the family of ves
sels for the blending or “fusion” of ihe ingredients
of those stimulating beverages which often produce
“confusion,” may rank as seas, or oceans, though
neither of them certainly can be called Pacific.—
They were filled yesterday with toddy and julep,
prepared as we were assured by a most skillful and
practised haud, and as they were well drained be
fore the conclusion of the*festival, we may infer
that their contents were in the highest degree pala
table.
From Washington we observ ed Mr. Attorney
General Cushing, Senators Douglas, of Illinois: Crit
tenden. of Kentucky. Butler, of South Carolina :
Mason, of Va.; Jones, of Tennessee; Bigler, of
Pennsylvania : Fessenden, of Maine; and Jones, of
lowa—and Messrs. Underwood, of Kentucky; Cad
wallader. of Pa.; Harris, of Alabama : aud Caskie,
of Va., of the House of Representatives. There
were besides from Washington, Messrs. Sidney
Webster, private Secretary of the President, P. B.
Key, District Attorney, and J. D. Hoover, Marshall
of the District, and Messrs. Win. A. and Joseph H.
Bradley, aud Daniel Ratcliffe, George Mattingbv
Wm. Watson, Colonel Monroe, C. W. Talbott, and
H. B. Sweeney. Among the distinguished gentle
men present, were also Messrs. Alexander R. llolla
day, of the Board of Public Works, John M. Botts,
and John M. Patton of this city, and Joseph H. Se
gar of Elizabeth City.
There were five long tables laid in the ball-room
of the hotel, and the dinner was very superb. Ed
win Robinson, Esq., President of the Fredericksburg
Railroad Company presided, assisted by Mr. Botts.
The company sat down about half past four, and
having been sated with the excellent viands pre
pared for them, the order of the entertainment was
changed to a “feastof reason aud a How of soul.”
Tins turn in the course of the festival was an
nounced by the introduction* of the regular toasts,
and responses to them were drawn from the distin
guiseed statesmen and orators present. Those who
spoke successively were Messrs. Cushing, Botts,
Senator Butler, Mr. Cadwallader, M.C., of Penn
sylvania, Senators Crittenden, Douglas, Jones, of
Tenn., Bigler of Pa. Joues, of lowa. Mr. Key, Dis
trict Attorney, and Mr. Sidney Webster. The
speeches were all eloquent, and elicited the most en
thusiastic applause.
By request of Mr. Robertson, the President of the
day, Mr. Botts performed the ceremony of chris
tening the village where this grand celebration oc
curred, and which has been heretofore known as
the “Slash Cottage,*' with the name of “Ashland
as a sort of memorial of the occasion, and us a slight
but appropriate tribute to the memory of him the
company had assembled to honor. Mr. Botts did
tliis with a pretty tolerable grace, considering that
it was his first act in that capacity.
We are compelled to postpone a report of the
toasts and speeches until to-morrow. The speech
es were worthy the fame of the distinguished ora
tors and their sentiments were of the noblest and
most honorable character—honorable to the heads
and hearts of the speakers, honorable to their pa
triotism and their devotion to the Constitution and
the Union. To listen to such outpourings of natio
nal feeling from such men gives renewed assurance
of the strength of the Union—its power to resist
the assaults which are made with such fury upon it.
We regretted sincerely that there were not more
of our own citizens present —that more of our pro
minent men had not joined in the ceremony which
afforded such satisfaction and delight to those who
did.
After the conclusion of the proceedings at the
convival bo aid, the guests spent a short time iu the
most agreeable sociability until the trains were ready
to depart. A few of those from Washington came
to this city and remained here yerterday. Among
them were Mr. Cushing, Mr. Sidney Webster. Mr.
Key, Hoover, and others.
Natural Curiosities of Texas. —Mr. J. S.
Strother, iu a late letter to the Huntsville Advo
cate, gives the following account of some rare crea
tures to be found iu Texas :
I will now give you a description of some of the
insects, or rather reptiles, with which this section is
infested. I will commence with the most poisonous
of all, the Centipede, the sting of which is deadly;
should one crawl across your arm, the flesh would
rot off to the bone—sometimes producing death in
a short time to the person stung, who will suffer
the most excruciating pain until he is relieved.—
The Centipede is about 8 inches long when full
grown, aud resembles the “Thousand Legs” in
shape. Next comes the Tarantula, a species of in
sect, reptile, or whatever you limy choose to call
him; he is what we might term half Terrapin and
half Spider—more vicious than both, aud three times
as active as either ; be is near the size of a small
tea cup: his back is covered with coarse red hair,
under which is an almost impenetrable shell which
covers the top of his body, which is supported by
long, spindling, double-jointed legs, ana were you
to see one throw himself back upon his legs for a
combat, you would be tempted to knock him, like
Ruddy did the dog, “spnehless.” His mouth is of
enormous size ; he has an eye that indicates his ru
ling passion, vieiousness; his bite is also very poi
sonous. Snakes are very numerous. Stinging Li
zards are in the greatest abundance. I can put up
with the latter two—but remove me from tin* disa
greeable presence of the first two. Horned Frogs
arc plenty, but they are innocent and harmless.—
“Mule Rabbits” are the greatest curiosity I have
yet seen ; they are about the size of a “fawn,” and
are so swift that the fleetest dog is no where ; their
ears look like they were near Ift inches long, when
they first jump up before you. lam of the opinion
that a Centipede, Horned Frog, Tarantula and a
Mule Rabbit, placed on “Commercial Row,’’ would
attract more attention, excite more curiosity,
than the Menageries of a dozen “ Barnuin hum
bugs.*’
Alleged Mutiny at Sea and Charge of Mur
der. —Nine arrests were made Wednesday after
noon, says the N. Y. Times of the 12th inst., from the
packet ship Underwriter, Captain Shipley, just ar
rived from Liverpool, of parties charged with muti
ny ut sea. Their names are Silas B. Phillips, Jos.
Smith, James Rcilley, John Robinson, Joseph* Gil
man, Charles Lester, Michael, Mahen, Wm. Welch,
and Huron Fisher. They were all taken before U. S.
Commissioner Morton, and committed for examina
tion. They had been kept in irons on board the.
Underwriter several days. A more miserable, filthy,
and revolting set of white men was never presented.
They claim to have been very severely used by the
officers of the Underwriter, and charge that one of
the crew was so severely injured by the third mate,
that he died during the passage from Liverpool.
One shows several teeth knocked out —another a
severely flattened nose, and a third a badly bruised
head, which they aver were caused by blows re
cieved without just provocation at the hands of the
officers of t he U uderwriter.
Yesterday, upon counter affidavit of the above
named parties, Win. Welch, the first mate of the
Underwriter, and Thomas Keel, the third mate, were
arrested, the former upon charge of cruel treatment
of several of the crew of the Underwriter, and the
latter of murder, in having caused the death of one
Johnson, of the crew, by a flogging administered at
his hands.
A Good Change. —The late Legislature of Geor
gia ehanged the name of Kinchafoonce, (Plnebus,
wlmt a name !) by which one of the counties of that
State was called, to that of Webster, this being the
first honor of the kind conferred in any of the States
upon the name of the departed Statesman. The
enunge is in everyway a happy one. Ail uncouth,
unmeaning Indian name is expunged, and that of a
noble American, who in life was the pride of his
country, substituted for it. There ought to be a
Webster county in every State and territory of the
Union. Georgia has displayed a fine spirit in pay
ing this gracelul compliment to the memory ot the
“great expounder.”— Petersburg, Va. t Intelligencer.
Exactly so—but the manner iu which the name
was bestowed is entitled to another consideration.
Several names had been proposed for the “uncouth
Indian one,” but as each party seemed to have its
own preferences, no name was likely to be adopted.
Mr. Harris, (American) of Fulton, on the spur of the
moment, suggested the one it now bears. “Ran
dolph, Clay, Calhoun and Webster deserve to lie
side by side upon the map of Georgia.” The thought
was like an electric shock, and the name was adopt
ed instanter. Thus, though a Democratic compli
ment, it was uu American move.— Columbus En

British Recruiting in the North of Eu
rope.—A correspondent of the Independence Beige
writing, under date of Hamburg, 15th of Mami,
says :
“The English Government, notwithstanding the
strong probability of peace, continue extending
throughout the different countries of Northern Eu
rope toe circle of its operations for enlisting troops
for the service of the Anglo-German legion. Its
numerous and well-fed agents display a zeal in the
exercise of their functions that is sometimes outre ,
and which finds the corrective in the severity
of the laws and the energetic resistance of the
people.
“Almost every day the police of Hamburg, Al
tana and surrounding localities, succeed m ar
resting a certain number of agents engaged in
the active prosecution of their business. These
agents are generally sentenced to imprisonment,
vurying in duration, and to the payment of a fine.
If they are foreigners they arc* conducted by an
armed force to the frontiers aud expelled from the
country.
“Since the navigation of our waters has resumed
its usual course, the English government has sent
hither the Prometheus, a ship of war, with the
avowed iutention of further protecting and prosecu
ting her enrollments. This vessel is continually ply
ing between Heligoland aud our port of Coxhaveu
at the entrance of the Black Sea. It is estimated
that iu less than a month, more than a thousand
men have been again transported by English steam
ers to the Island of Heligoland. The number of
new recruits obtained in this manner has been
deemed sufficient to warrant the formation of a fifth
regiment of infantry, aud it is only a few days ago
that the steamer Victoria, of 900 tons burthen, came
from an English port to Heligoland, to take on
board 700 of these recruits, in order to transport
them to Sheruecliffe. Another steamer, also, is
daily expected iu the Island, in order to transport to
the same destination the rest of the recruits that
could not be embarked on board the Victoria.”—

Help for Mr. Everett.— One of the most
amusing facts connected with Mr. Everett's oration,
has just been published. Since it acquired so large
a hold upon the public mind, and the demand for the
delivery #f it has been co extensive with the Union,
Mr. Everett has received a proposition from a rhe
toricanof some note to relieve him of the task. This
unassuming gentleman represented that he was per
fect in his oratorical acquisitions, voice, gesture, in
tonation, good emphasis and good discretion, and
could impart to the eulogy that grace and effect in
which he thought Mr. Everett was deficient. He
only stipulated for oue-half of the proceeds as a re
ward for his disinterested services, Mr. Everett to
receive the other half and the whole of the accumu

Penguin Oil.—The sloop Copy, arrived here a
few days Bince from Sag Harbor, has on board a
barrel of Penguin oil, received from the brig Para
na. which arrived at that port recently from the
South Shetland Islands w'ith 100 barrels of the same
kind of oil. The brio's crew killed 43,000 birds,
from which they obtained this quantity of oil. We
are informed that the brig will return to the above
named islands and pursue the same business—the
Captain being confident of securing as much as
twelve barrels of oil a day. While the Paraua was
lving there, a French vessel was also there engaged
in the same bosiuess.— Netc Bedford Standard.

TO THE CITIZENS OF AUGUSTA.
1 WO ('LI) call your attention to my new prepara
tion, known as “BLISS' DYSPEPTIC REMEDY.”
This medicine is a new medical compound, and Is the
result of long practice, extensive observation, and close
study of all diseases having their origin in a disordered
state of stomach, and adapted to every stage of these dis- |
eases, from their incipient symptom to those in which
they have assumed the Chronic form, and although but
yet in its infancy, lias gained a notoriety and reputation
very seldom attained by any “patent" preparation. This
Remedy is no quack nostrum, got up to gull the people,
ami fleece them out of their money, but a medicine,
which, together with the treatment prescribed to accom
pany the taking of the medicine, has the sanction of
years of successful application in private practice, and
will nut foil to cure the most stubborn case of Dyspep
sia, no matter of how long standing, or how severe it
may be, providing the directions are closely followed out.
It was not suddenly hit upon, nor dreamed of, but is the
accretion of facts and experiments collected in the dally
rounds of duty as a practising Physician, and is giveu to
the public in a popular form, in the hope, as in the belief,
that it will not fail in giving relief to the sufferer from
Dyspepsia, and another diseases having their origin in
tin: stomach, in any instance when the directions are
properly attended to. It has received the highest enco
miums from the first physicians throughout the North
and South—it has been tried, recommended and certified
to by some of the most eminent jurists and statesmen in
the country, all of which shall appear in due time. Phy
sicians of large practice are now using it and relying
upon it alone in these diseases in their practice, and re
commend it to their friends as worthy their best confi
dence.
It is entirely dissimilar to any and every preparation of
the kind now”before the people. The originator, enter
taining views ami opinions somewhat at variance with
the prescribed notions among medical men generally, as
regards the nature of these diseases, has in this prepara
tion brought together medical agents of known utility
and worth, in the form of a new combination, making a
compound altogether and entirely new, and one that will
not fail in effecting a cure, if directions are followed and
persevered in. The undersigned is well aware that the
same encouragement has been given, and the same
promises have already been made, over and over again,
by manufacturers of patent medicines, as regards their
different preparations, and as a voucher for the curative
qualities of this preparation, and for the purpose also of
giving additional weight to w hatever he may say as re
gards this new preparation, he would beg to refer to the
fact, that he is the originator, manufacturer and proprie
tor of the well known “Jacob’s Cordial,” the curative
properties of which in Cholera, Dysintery and Diarrhea,
are now being proclaimed by thousands in every section
of the country, and as being all that he ever said of it.
The undersigned does not profess to be a philanthro
pe f. or that lie is uninfluenced by considerations of pecu
niary pront in placing the Remedy before the people, but
he does know that while he may be realizing a pe
cuniary profit, fellow-sufferers will realize that which
is of more w orth to them than the wealth of India.
Dyspepsia, like Gout, may be said to be a fashionable
disease ; n more readily than any other, in various of its
forms, and to a greater extent find its victims in the weal
thy and a ri. toe ratio circles, especially In large cities, and
it.s insidious workings are often the real, though undisco
vered cause of the sallow cheek, the dull, heavy eye, and
general inertia —indisposition to either mental or pbysl
cal effort, which are erroneously attributed to other
causes.
.Scenes of luxurious ease are not, however, alono the
haunts of this destroyer of the health and enjoyment of
myryads of mankind. Other conditions of life there aro
in which it revels over faded and emaciated forms, and
dispirited and despairing hearts. The sedentary labors
ot the counting-house, and the study, not less than the in
tense excitement and irregularities of busier occupations
of mercantile life, are promotive of it, g eta daily adding to
the number ot its subjects. But our (that is the physician
and his patients) object is not. having once discovered
the disease, so much to trace it back to its source, as to
remove it from where we find it, and to establish a health
ful and vigorous action of the various organs, by use of
the proper agencies, and to restore to their natural
functions those organs which had been perverted by
disease. For all
NERVOUS SUFFERERS,
This preparation, with its accompanying directions for
treatment, are peculiarly applicable ; and If the former
i, taken and the latter closely complied with, it will not
fail of curing.
Also, to those suffering from DISEASE OF THE
LIVER, it is particularly recommended, and most ad
muabl.v adapted. In WEAK AND DEBILITATED
SYSTEMS, it w’ill be found as possessing tonic proper
ties to a preeminent degree, and very admirably adapted
to a large portion of the female sex, whose debilitated
and w orn out constitutions require an artificial restorer.
In using this Remedy, its beneficial effects xnay be
looked for at once. It will begin to relieve, and the pa
tient will know that recovery has commenced within 43
or 72 hours, or, at farthest, by the time he has taken tb<-
contents of one package. To those trying the effect of
this Remedy, I would propose a tost that will deinoatrate
ro the patient that he w being benetitted.
If it is used in a case of Dyspepsia, whore pain or other
di-t: - -ing feelings attend tne taking of food upontho
stomach, I -'uggest that the patient, after u*ing the Rem
