The Crop-*— The Comet.
Troup County, June IS, 1857.
Mr. Editor :—Believing that reliable informa
tjon respecting the present growing crops of all kind*
will prove interesting to yourself and many readers.
I give you f r oin personal observation, and di
enquiry of many of the best farmers of this coun
ty, and t adjaeent counties of Heard, Mer
ri wet her, and Harris of this State, and Chambers
and Baud • ph of Ala., a most gratifying account so
far as ell the cereals are concerned. Wheat ia now
being karvcttetkaiid ia said by all persona to be the
I very best crop ever made in thjs latitude. Oata,
ry*‘ and barley, are equally as good, and a much
I larger crop than usual sown of all these smaller
grains. New wheat has been selling freely at f l
r»er bushel, but buyers have now quit the market,
believing that it will soon rule lower, say, 70 to 80c-
Corn though backward, looks remarkably vigorous
-of ntalk and color, and blessed with “the latter
rains” will no doubt fill many a grainlese cnband re
joice the heart of man and tooth of beast, there has
been more of this grain planted this year than last,
which augurs woli for the farmers discretion, and
gives promise of a year of plenty of “bog and homi
ny,” such as we have not seen of late. Os the cot
ton crop 1 can give but a gloomy account, it is yet
exceedingly sinali and sickisb, and with an excess

ing : —Messrs. Win, Gibson, W. S. Jones, F.
Blodget, Jr., G. F. Parish, John T. Miller, J. S.
Knight and Benj. F. Hall.
While the Committee was out, J. W. Walker
being called for, addreesed the meeting in his usual
happy style.
The Committee returned, and reported through
their chairman, Hon. Wm. Gibson, the following
Preample and Resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted :
The Committee do report the following resolu
tions, to wit:
Resoloed, Tliat the American parfv of Richmond
do adopt and approve the twelve following proposi
tions of the American Convention recently assem
bled at Louisville, Ky.—to wit :
Ist. The Federal Union must be maintained.
2d. The reserved rights of the States must be re
spected.
3d. The decision of the Supreme Court must be
enforced.

cluded.
10th. The naturalization laws must be amended.
11th. “Squatter Sovereignty” and alien suffrage
mu*t be repudiated.
12th. Americans must rule America.
Resolved, Tliat it is the deliberate judgment of
this meeting, that the only method of maintaining
the “Federal Union,” securing the rights of each
State, and suppressing sectional agitation, is to
leave all questions of a domestic character to the
native bo; u and naturalized citizens of the country 1
to be settled by them, uninfluenced by the Execu
tive or his appointees, congressional restriction, or <
alien and squatter voters, the first of which influ- ]
•nces is now being practiced by our Chief Magis
nate, through his appointed Walker, in Kansas. I
being no less objectionable than the Wilmot Fio- 1
viso itself; aud, when combined with alien and 5
squatter votes, is the worse form of intervention. j
Resolved, That we will appoint twenty delegates i
to the Amferieau Convention to be held in Milledge
ville on the 29th day of July next, and that our dfcle- i
gates are hereby instructed, in the selection of a
suitable candidate to be voted for by the indepen
dent voters of Georgia for Governor ip the ap- <
proaehing contest, to discard as qualifications tor 1
the same, all partizan eervioe and party fealty, and
that the only tests be his honesty , capacity and Jit
uess, tor the oflic.e of Governor.

point ten delegates to attend the same, similarly in
structed, and that eacu county in said Bth District

A meeting of the American party of Putnam
couutv was called to day at the Court House, when
on motion of P. H. Dawson, M*\j. E. Hams wa

act as Secretary.
After the objects of the meeting were briefly sta
ted by the Chairman, R. T. Davis, Esq., offered the
following resolutions, which 'were unanimously
adopted :
Resolved 2 That the American party of Putnam
couutytiaviug strong aud undiminishea confidence in
she Principles of their organisation, reaffirm the de
clarations of the Mp.con Convention of the Bth July,
1856 ; that in the ir.aiutamanee of those principles,
we recognize the only sure ba«is of the future suc
res® ana prosperity" of our Government wid the
perpetuity of its blessings.
Resolved. That we have witnessed with pleasure
the recognition, by several prominent Democrats,
of one of the cardinal tenets of the American party,
as evidenced by the votes of Democratic Senators
in tli - late 9 ssion of the U. S. Congress, and that
especially in this connection do we commend the
course of the Hon. Alfred Iverson, Senator from
Georgia, tor his vote upon the question of Alien
Suffrage.
Resolved, That we are willing to render a cheer
ful and cordial support to such acts and measure* as
the present F'ederal Administration may adopt and
recca mend, as are cot inconsistent with the princi
pies of the American party, but we are warranted in
withholding from it our confidence.
let. Because, in the management of the questions
connected with and growing out of the Territory ot
Kansas, it* policy ha® been dictated by favoritism
to the Northern section of the Confederacy, and in
volves injustice and wrong to the people of the
South.
2d. Because the Democratic party which brought
it into power, and i3identified with it, is composed
of elements so various and contradictory, that it can
have no stability; that whue professing to be agreed
upon mrosnres they are totally disagreed upon
principles.
Resolved, That in the .opinion of this meeting it
is the daty of the American party of Georgia
to pre-serve aud perfect it® organizati n. and to pre
pare for a vigorous prosecution of the approaching
campaign.
Resolved , therefore , That this meeting appoint

American ?ie«tinc in Terrell* j
The following resolutions were adopted at a (
meeting of the American party held at Dawson, |
Terrell county .• I
Whereas, the party in power, calling itself Demo* |
cratic, has literally 'ailed to restore to the country
that degree of quietude, harmony and kind feeling,
which was so much needed, and which the people I
were promised iu the event of Mr. Buchanan e elec- |
tion—and whereas the elevation of that gentleman
to the highest office in the world, not with*? anoing
all the p!*-cig-s of the party that promoted him, in i
favor of the South. Slavery in Khu as. Anti Pacific |
Railroad. Anti-High Tan#, and Anti-Internal Im* |
provements, and many other questions of great
moment to the people of this country, and iu wiiioL 1
they feel a vital interest, has but more fully con- i
vinced us, that alihia pledges, and those of the par- |
ty who promoted him. were made for the sole pur- ,
pose of procuring patronage and power.
And whereas, the Democratic party have been m i
power so long, that they have concluded tbat all j
that is necessary for them to accomplish on the eve ;
of a great political contest, is to put forth political
creeds and send forth political emissar.es, to preach .
to the people the most alluring doctrines, and make I
all needful pledgee and alliance* to every man in |
every section, and fur the only purpose ot making
votJ and knowing at tbe same ti.netbat these
Dledaee are only made to be brokeu ; and whereas, |
mrtSe last few mouths, has fully eatisbed us that |
the country, in the election of Mr. Buchanan has re
ceived no additional good, bnt that the Sou h has
attain been betraved.and her institute ns to dav are I
more insecure than they were previous to his efeva- ,
Lioii to office Let Ephraimalone.be S| ined to his
idols. We point you, byway of demonstration, to
Kauras ; to her squatter soveieiguly. alien suftrage; I
to open and avowed resistance to Ibe decision ot |
the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case, and a
thousand of other tr.i- gs, sins ot commission of the
I great iron-ribbed, hoary-headed Democratic party, |
j with its unnumbeied sins. In view of al. these j
evils and in order that they may be arrested in !u- .
tore ’and our beloved country, our owu deawnative
land—for we love it still—may be saved from inevi- |
table destruction,
Be it therefore lieso ved ;
l,t. That we reaffirm the Platform of principles !
and endorse the action of the American Convention i
held in Macon on the Bth July, 1856.
2d. Rcwlced, That we scornfully repudiate the j
doctrine imputed to us by eur opponents, that is to '
say, that we desire to deprive any citizen, foreign I
or native born, of any privilege or right which he |
may have acquired, under the Constitution and i
laws. But we regard it as an outrage to both the [
native and naturalized citizen,thattofeignersshould 1
by Congress be permitted after settling in our ter- |
ritoriee, and before being naturalized, to enjoy the ,
elective franchise, and thus perchance forever til 1
the institutions of a sovereign State, of which they 1
were not citizens. ' j
3d. Hesolved , That we tender our thanks to the
Uon. Alfred Iverson, on the Minnesota Bill, against 1
Alien suffrage, in oppoaion to his colleague, muni- 1
festly showing an honest heart, showing forth that i
chivalrous patriotism, that subserviency of all in- •
terest to the public good, which characterized the *
democracy of twenty five years ago, and which in- (
fused ene.gy and purity into the civil administration I
of our Government, which was felt at home and ,
abroad.
4th. Resolved, That we hold it as a cardinal priu
ciple of the American party, and we detest any I
otter, that all the States of this Union aie of equal j
right, entitled to an equal participation in the public (
domain—and the policy of the parry now in power, I
by which the public lauds are appropriated for the I
benefit of the new States is unjust, unequal, and un- |
constitutional, and ought not to be tolerated by iLe i
old STa'es.
sth. Resolved, That the beet interests or the com- I
monwealth, present and prospective, demand a j
thorough modification of the naturalization laws, ia j
order that foreigners may be excluded from partici- j
paling in the affairs of the government, until they *
shall live in the country such time as shall enable j
them to understand the machinery of our govern- >
ment, and thereby save them from the disgrace and 1
degradation of being driven up to the ballot-box !
and voted under the influence of a bludgeon. To j
this moral degradation they are subjected year after
year by political traitors and demagogues—from j
this sink of political inequality—the American par !
ty wishes to raise the foreigner, if so he must coma j
among as—and if this thing cannot be accomplish
ed in this country, and that by American citizens,
this fair ; free country of ours is not the land for the
foreigner, he should return to the home of hiß fathers.
6tli. Resolved , That the American party of Terrell
fell a just indignation for any party or combination
ol men, whose main object is deception and public
plunder, and judging from the pledges that the par
ty in power made to the South during the last cam j
paigu, and that all these pledges have been broken, j
we will hail the day as a proud one for Georgia, and *
for the country, when the people shall rise up as *
one man, and tear from their necks the deadly yoke |
of the present Democratic party.
7th. Resolved , That the American party of Terrell J
county meet at Dawson, on the first Tuesday in Au- j
gust next, to nominate candidates for the Legisla- I
ture, and that each district in the county be fuliy j
represented,
oth. Resolved, That the American party of Terrell, !
deem it expedient and essential to the interest of J
the party generally iu the State, that we should run jj
a candidate for Governor; that we should not un- j
der any circumstances suffer the election to go by 1
default; but that the party nominate a candidate, »*
and thal each one of us pledges himself to the oth- I
er, to use all the power that we possess to elect him j
—aud byway of expressing our appreciation of the *
merits of distinguished citizens for that high trust, j,
we propose the name of our distinguished county I
man, the Hon. William H. Crawford, as an able, j
distinguished, and eloquent standard bearer of the
American party in the next Canvass.

Scramble or the Spoilsmen. —The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore American says :
The scramble for office, especially for the minor
clerkships, still continues unabated, the system of
rotation bringing hundreds of applicants from ail
sections of the country. A man out of office may
lireach as much as he chooses in favor of rotation,
mtso soon^as he is placed at the head of a bureau
he suddenly becomes opposed to the principle. He
looks around among those now in < slice, aud sees
himself surrounded by men familliaf with-'ll the
duties, and that he himself is the only “know noth
ing”—the only one who has no knowledge of the
business to be performed. The crowd of applicants
he discovers to be broken-down political trimmers,
wholly incapacitated, and lacking all experience in
the position they seek—and hence he becomes an
opponent of “rotation.” By retaining the old clerks
he csn get along smoothly and pomtortab y, with
out any extia labor on bis own but if he should
undertake to surround himself by green horns, he
would find the labors of c slice inadequate to the re
muneration. Among the tables got up by the office
seekers, compiled from the Blue Book, is the fol
lowing, showing the amount of Federal patron
age received by the North and South, tree and slave

Gunnery Practice by the Students at t«e
Nayal Academy —A correspondent of the Wash
ingtcn Union thus describes the exercises in gun
nary at the recent examination of the students at
the Naval Academy at Annapolis :
“Al 10 A. M , the students were mustered in the
fort, awaiting the order fcr target firing. As eoon
as the signal was given, they blazed away in down
right earnest, with solid shot, shell and grape. The
targets were stationed at the distance of 1100 and
1500 yards from the battery, and each gun was tired
as soon as it was sighted. You will, no doubt, be
surprised when I tell you that every shot would
have struck a small sized vessel. With the aid of
the ‘tangent-sight’ and steady eye, a heavy 32
pounder can be aimed and fired as accurately as a
musket.
“A few years ago the practice-ship of the Acade
my was cruising in the British channel, and met
with the school-ship of the English navy. A tew ot
our youngsters went on board of the latter during a
target exercise, and were invited to take a shot with
the British metal. One of them accepted the in vitas
tion, and to the astonishment of the whole ship’s
company, Bmashed target after target. The same
youngster riddled a figure of $ man’s size at the
distance of two hundred yards, witu (he bails of a
boat howitzer. He will assuredly make his mark
in the first sea fight to which he will be summoned.
It is sufficient, however, to be able to hit a fishing
smack oftener than to miss it. Nothing could in
duce me to anchor in such a craft under to-day’s
fire. The shell firing was excellent, each shell burst
ing at tne proper time with teiling proof of its de
structive power.
“The howitzer exercise was the last on the pro
gramme, and it possessed an interes; that was con
siderably enhanced by late events in China, its
results may be briefly noted, as reported by the
officer in charge ; ‘Landed one of Dahlgreu's boat
howitzers—weight 430 pounds—in 1 min. 4 sec.
from fire to fire. The gun was fired at the order
Trail, (which was given two boats’ length from the
•Lore), and a kedge was dropped over the stern at
the same time. The gun was shifted from its boat
to iU field carriage, lauded, loaded, and fired in the
above time. The came manoeuvre was executed in
58 seconds, and it has been done in the short space
of 32 seconds. The target was at a distance of 560
yards ; the firing was done with shell and shrapuell;
the charge ten ounces. The shells, with three fuses
attached, exploded, at the target ; the shrapnell,
with two ana a half fusee, exploded from filly to
one hundred yards in front of it. With such a weap
on, handled in the above masterly manner, a single
boat’s crew would be a matcn lor a host ol China
men."
The Chinese Rebellion. —The following inter
esting information from China is communicated in
a Hong Kong letter in the London Times *.
The Shanghai mail, which came in yesterday
brought some serious advices front tba north. It is
now confiruivd, whar was before vaguely rumored,
that the rebels of Kiang.-d are in possession of the
Chang Yu-Shan pass, which commands the only
ruad from that province into the fertile and rich
maritime province of Che-Keang; that the western
part of that of Eukieu is in the.r hands, together
with the mountain passes that lead into Kiangsi;
that Kweiiing-fu, the t apitai us Kwangsi, >o long
besieged in vain by the “God-worshippers," at the
beginning of their rising in that their native oro*
vince, baa at length y.elded itself, and become a
•possession,’ and that two of :h*dr chiefs have ac
tually established themseivee in the north of Kwang
rung itself, while a third, their formidable Le, at the
bead of some 60,00 b men, who have followed him
from Kwangsi into the province, has taken several
of its southern cities, and from the eastern mi»et
Tekbeng now threatens a visit to Canton itself, the
capital of the province. •

flies of papers from the city of Mexico to the 24th

After reading the slaughter of Col. Crabb and his
•ompanions, it says :
On the Bth of April an American was found on
the environs of Caborca, inquiring the whereabouts
ot Crabb, with a design of joining him with fifteen
men. This man was shot on the spot, and a Capt.
Manuel Elias, at the head of a troop of infantry and

were found in separate pa* ties of four and eight

j The Central Americas Treaty.— lmportant.
The Loudon Post, organ of Lord Palmerston, has
I rather a eigntficaut article on Central American
I affairs in which it doubts “whether the C.ayton-
I Bulwer convention can be reckoned among ejist-
I ing things any more than the recently repudiated
I Dallas Clarendon treaty." On more than one oo
i casion the articles in the Post have foreshadowed
| the policy of the British government with reference
I to Central American affairs, and this one, in par- j
I tieular, merits attention. It also states that nego
-1 tiationa are still in progress, and anticipates that
I Lord Napier will succeed in settling the question
Ito the satisfaction of both nations. It adds, liow-
I ever :
I “Tbe Queen, as the sovereign of the magnificent
province of Canada, is the second power on the eon
. tinentuf North America, and iu that capacity she

| Novel Escape from Jail.— The Missis&ippian,
j of Tuesday last, says :
A few days since, two good-locking women visit
ed the jailor of Oktibbeha county, and solicited an
interview with who had been incar
cerated, and were awaiting trial under grave ,
charges. The jailor, a humane and gallant man, ,
of course could not refuse so natural and reasonable |
a request. Accordingly, the ladies entered, and a ,
sense of delicacy forbade a third party witnessing ]
the meeting between loving wives and law clutched
husbands, after along, sad and mortifying separa- }
tion. A reasonable time having elapsed, the ladies
emerged from the dungeon lodgment of their loves, I ]
4nd modestly moved away, saying “neyer a v/c;d/’ ! ,
all of which was feelingly attributed to their grief .
and humiliation. The kind jailor entered the pr;
son to alter the accused, and found, to his as- ♦
tonishment, two women gawkily arrayed iu breed es,
The men had vamoosed under cover of the petti- j
coats, aud the ladies remained as unwelcome proofs t
of woman’s ingenuity and devotion.

Southern Democracy and Kansas —A Flare
up in the Camp. —The beauties oi Democracy are
in process of rapid development. V7e have given
the accounts by the Augusta Constitutionalist and
the Columbus Times, or the great Walker treason
in Kansas, w hich those papers summon the Souihto
resist “at all hazards ami to the lsat extremity/’ as
au open bttraynl of our rights into the hands of the
Freesoilers. The Georgia (Macon) Telegraph sees
the whole affair in Kansas t >ugh entirely different
spectacles, and declares that i:. .course recommen
ded by Walker, “is the usual, proper and fair
course “ The following extract is from the laßt num
ber of that journal:
“Again, we give no weiglrt whatever to the op
position expressed in some quartern to Kansas ta
king a direct vote upon the adoption of her constitu
tion after it is framed. This is the usual, proper and
fair course.”
Now, who is right ? Here is a case of downright,
actual rebe lioD in the Democratic camp, and on a
question of vital moment to the South. After this
may we not ask, “What is Democracy V' We shall
watch these organa wit.o interest and note the inge
nious process by which they are destined to get to
gether as get together they assuredly will, provided
the convention of next Wednesday shall woik out to
their mutual satisfaction 1
We have our idea about this sudden explosion of
holy horror againat the Governor of K usas, on the
part of a wing of the Georgia Democracy, aud we
may as well give it to our reader*. We may be in
error, but our judgment is that the blow, instead of
being designed tor the head of Walker, was inten
ded by indirection to the light on the cranium of the
Georgia representative iu the Cabinet. In other
words, we regard it as an effort, by I lie Southern
Right* Democracy, to breakdown Howell Cobb
with the people of Georgia, and as a neccsiary conse
quence, to throw overboard in the Gubernatorial
Convention, his well known friend and favorite.

Increase of Ocean Steamers.— The increase
of ocean steamers navigating the At lantic Las re
cently Wen so great that il is manifest some of the
lines are destined to lose money. The New York
Journal of Commerce publisher a iitft of the steam
ers now engaged in the trade between Europe and
America, which embraces some fourteen different
Hues, and which make no lees than 586 trips per
annum. The steamer Clyde, running between
Quebec and Glasgow, and several other irregular
or transient steamers are not included in this list.-*~
Tbe aggregate is quite sufficient to allow a oalcula
tion of upwards of five steamship departures per
week from America to Europe, and an equal num
ber from Europe to Am erica. Son, no doubt, we
shall have a daily line fir .m each side of the Atlan
tic—the larger \ ortion of which will arrive at and
depart from New York. Th German steamers arc
commonly doing a good passenger business, and a
heavy freight is carried by the Havre and some of
the Liverpool liners; but it is evidei t that the
amount of business offering is quite inadequate to
the maintenance of so large and expensive a steam
fleet, in addition to the sailing fleet, with which they
are in direct competition. The Jountll of Com
raerce, from which we glean the above tacts very
justly remarks : “How this strife for the mastery of
the ocean will eventuate, is left for the future to de
termine.’* _
New use foe the Submarine Cable. —At
Messrs. Glasse and Elliott’s yard a fine' submarine
cable is being made for the Norwegian Government.
This is, as far as we are aware, probably the first
electric telegraph which has ever been used for fish
ing purposes. During the fishing season the shoals
of herrings enter the gords of Norway at most un
expected intervals. and ad places where often not
more than one or two fishing boats are to be found
Before the boats from the surrounding bays and
fiord© £«±n be summoned to the spoil the herrings
nave generally spawned and are away to sea again.
To preveut these repeated disappointments and loss
es to the fishermen, the Norwegian Government is
about to lay a submarine cable along some 50 miles
of the coast more frequented by the shoals, with
band stations at short distances communicating with
the fishing villages. Thairatant the shoal is seen
offing, therefore, and it cadTalways be known at a
distance by the whaiefe which surround it, a message
will be sent along the coast telling each village the
nord or bay which it has entered. Alas for the poor
herrings! What will become of them now that
science enters the deep against them and their ene
my lurks in their watery home ? They may ciade
whales and fishing b .’s, defy tides, winds *-nd
waves, but what can they do against the tie tri
currant ’ They will splash heedh—iy over the
queer-looking rope on the Loiiooi without ‘V
that it is telling their numbers and the nay they
have taken, aud guiding their pursuers to the de
struction of them. **’
A small “sub-mud” cable, to be used in comma
niching with the workmen engaged in cleariug the
mouth of the Danube, is also in course of manufac
ture at Glasse and Elliot’s. It will be regarded with
in|erest, as the material embodiment of so many of
the paris protocols —London Times.
Kansas. —seems a settled matter that the poli
cy of Air. Buchanan and Gov. Walker will make
Kansas a free State. The Democratic papers South
are giving up all hope of its being slave territory.
Alany of themnow declare they never had any hope
that it would be such. They are pitching into
Walker but don’t let the President slide, they hold
on to him. They are endeavoring to ease down the
crash as best they may, by preparing :he minds of
their reader? for the event, and by asserting—some
of them—that they never expected it to be other
wise. How consonant these declaration -are with
those made when an election was to be gained. Is’
. their render? judge The day of retribution is at
hand, and though it corr.cs slowly, it comes none the
less surely, or we mistake the people of this country.
If, however, they are disposed ro s built to so much
mismanagement, bunging and kleesness, com
mitted in tbe i .aine of Democracy, the rest of u -

Nicaragua —A gentleman wiiocamr passenger
by the Philadelphia from San JuaL del Norte or
Grey town, states that when be I—ft there were no
Walker men at that place. By buego arrival from
above, the new? at Grejtown was, that the Guate
malans and Hoed ana ns had returned borne, leaving
a force in charge of Rivas and Granada ; but that
since Walker left the country, the old intestine feuds
had broken out afresh, and those two northern
States were preparing tor war upon eaea other. The
Costa Ricans have returned home, though the Cam
illa and San Car.os forte are still fortified by them.
Toe Datives of Greytown are in bad sp.nis, and the
expectation is that Walker would have very little
trouble in overcoming the country again if he went
there with 1009 men, and he means requisite.—

and dippmg him m a trough of cold water As his
frame hardened under the action of cold and very
severe shampoomug, punishment by these processes
became impossible.
He has two meals—g nerally boiled rice, which
is put on a napkin on the ground, aud he picks it
up to the last gram. After that, wheaten flour
cake, with butler, and a cup of milk, which he
drinks While eating his rioe he looks a different

“During the day he goes to sleep when he likes
merely lying down on the floor.
‘T. was remarked by a lady to day, that he is not
~ a child, but a small man. A gentleman lias

“The attitude he assumes in sleeping is that of
the Mussulman tusking prostrations—cn his knees
with his hands spread out before him, which could
not be if lie suffered from fatigue ; to t his muscles

during the night when tiie temperature- is lowest

might then suffer from heat, but he is equally arm

traced to the clothing or want of it ot the children

Eduscann, era in those of Asia Minor, children are
represented absolutely naked until twelve years.
We refer the character of nations to climate This
child may be killed by a brick-bat, but lie has no
more to fear from diseases than a naif or a foal; for
this is life according to nature, using the elements
for health and strength, which, when misused, are
thoHe of destruction ; and yet the experiment will
be barren, for judgments cannot be conveyed by re

“Deo 28.—Last night he slept under the clothes

ot nights particularly cold, when he was iu his na
ked state longer than usual, the brilliancy of his
color and tlie liveliness of his action was remarked
by those who saw him.”
In reference to the foregoing, the following ex
tract from a teller addressed to the father of the
child by a gentle man in the medical pr feesien will
be ead with interest: “I concur with Dr. B. that
if you were obliged to practice as a physician, you
would be another Davt-v or Liebig. I am reminded
of Abraham’s submission and obedience to the
Divine will by your pbilantbrophic spirit In experi
menting upon your own child for the good of man
kind. Your success is the greater rewaid. You
have gi ven much matter for the consideration of
medical men in the facta 3et forth. I can now un
derstand the wise motive in the custom of northern
nations ; among whom there is a vapor bath in
every house. Nurses know that children who
from their birth get a daily cold bath, are stronger
and healthier than those who do not. Water whether
at high or iow temperature, gives a greuter shock
to sensibility than air. Many a tenderly reared of
ficer, whosuccumbed to the inclemency of the weath
er in the huts before Sebastopol, might have been
living now bad his mother acted more upon your
plan. Dr. Dods, au American, says he who cannot
reason is a fool; he who dares not is a coward, be
who will not is a bigot; but ho who can, dares, and
will reason, is a man. But I say that he who lias
confident ein his reasonings, laith in himself, aud
courage to act upon his conclusions, is a man of
strong iniud and noble soul, fearles and firm. You
prove to be all that, and more; you are prudent
and cautions, for if the child should suffer from cold
or croup you have a remedy in a bathut 118 de

Women and .llai rmgp.
We take this reniftikabie passage from Whitty’s
“Frieda of Bohemia,” (or “Knaves and Fools,” aa
tbe American publishers style it,) a satirical novel
of London life, which is creating a sensation, just at
present, in English literary circles: “There is an
endless mystery between the sexes. They have, in
their most educated state, at least, very little notion
of one another. A woman brings forth a man child,
and to her d icg day never understands the man.
The man who has most knowledge of men has least
knowledge of women i to understand a woman needs
a refined, delicate, inquisitive turn, that masculini
ty id seldom equal to. What ludicrous women the
u«»eU create ; lake Milton’s Eve, for instance!—
What absurd men have I een ek*d f -hed on paper by

not dot* ori her Her failings are those of thd higher
bred animal. It is her want of patience which is
her charm and curse.
“Did you ever notice a wo nan driving a pair of
pomes ? It is very pretty, but very peculiar. She
puts the teased things to their topmost speed. She
is always whipping their dodging flanks. She - is
always clutching the galvanized reins. She is al
ways looking right and left, twisting and tossing her
fantastically covered head two ways at once. She
sees the mighty’buses, and avoids them hundreds
of yards before they come up. She goes ten feet
too much on one side in clearing the rushing cab or
whirling chariot. Again, did you ever see a woman
crossing the road ? What patience—that is to eav,
what iright! wLat dashing forward and driving

GROCERIES.—The Grocery market has been very
quiet during the week—the transactions being conflndtl
to filling small country ord- ra. In prices there has been
little change. Wo notea decline in Salt, Rope, N. H
Gin and Rum, and Whiskey. Other articles continue ns
previously quoted.
PROVISIONS. —Bacon is in rteady demand and
prices are firmly maintained. Flour Is not so firm, and
the impression is general that prices will decline.
GRAIN.—Corn is rather easier, and our quotations in
dicate the rato for small lots from store. A large lot
would not command 90 cents. That prices will recede
there seems to be little doubt. Flue White Wheat com
mands $1.50, but there is no disposition to buy largely at
this rate, as 1: is thought prices will rule lower.
EXCHANGE—The Banks supply Northern Ex
nge 4 per cent, premium. •
FREIGHTS.—The River, though quite low, is navi
gable for light draught boats. Freights have undergone
no change. To Savannah, by River, 30 cents per ba e
