The Bauk of Fulton.
Atlanta, July li’alSK’-
Mr. Koitor- Dxab Sir : I learn from common
report, that I am charged by the officers of the Back
of Fulton, in this city, with the authorship of the
letter which appeared in the "Naily Chrowicie Al
Sent it#!. of the 15th inst, and that it was prompted
by the refusai of the Bank to let me have money.
To the former charge, I wilt say that I did not
write the letter or cause it to be writ’en, and bad
no knowledge of stftfli letter befog written until it
appeared in the columns of that paper. To the iat
ter, I will say that I have had money from the Bank
!*• ice since I waa assured by the officers that there
was a positive written(jrder, signed by the direc
tors, not to discount a doßai for any one for thirty
dayg—and that, too. without* being passed on by the
Board Directors—since vrhich time I have not ap
plied I have had from the Bank more Horn ten thou
sand dollars at atimeon thirty day paper all of which ,
was paid at maturity. I never renewed a bill in
that Bank, or any other, but have always been able
I to pay a* maturity, i.wi.l here say that saab report
, is basely false, and designed to place me in a false
1 p'*«i»ifn bu<or<; thf? community. I have hothiiig from
the Bank, at present, on my own account,and only
$ 4§o on account of 4tbcr» unpaid— ill be met at
maturity. Aside from tki», lowatb4Bank
due or mat urinj', on my own accjtunt, and but very
little as endorser. The Bank of Fulton fiaa always
-hownajje and these charges against '
me made to eoncaal from the publio the j
history cf far-te connecting with others which have !
but i ftccntly Cf>ijye to my knowledge. |
It would afford me pleasure to know that the bdls j
of the Bank of 4Wht.-naw and Government Stor k |
Bank, at Ann Arbour' ’Michigan, f»ad all been re- !
deeined7 and tsl*at the bilLs of the Central Bank of |
Temo h>f».liad al» > V>een re<lee .ied, thrrA I could i
more freely welcome the capital obtained from the j
same bankers into the vaults of our own Bank ot -
Fulton , but, then, in no case wr*»ld 1 be willing to !
let Belknap, of New York, l*>ld an amount of the j
tundu of the Bank that would make it necessary fer !
the Bank here to have his J.orid for the sum of two
hundred thousand-dollars for tha forthcoming of their ,
funds when r»eed<P<l.
I may be oen ur**d iir,w by some, but I know
Vhay 1 at|i saying, and U*«- course I pursde is one of \
duty to myself and to the whole circle of my friends |
both in and out of the city, whom I have influenced j
in favor of the Bank, and I hav£ no fea v s as to the j
result—the day is passed in Georgia when bullying !
can sustain a Bank , instead of this, truth is mighty ■
and will prevaU, and the truth will either kill or do

Semi Centennial Aqniversery, of the ti‘2d February
■ l ist, the Hou.lVin.D. Borter suggested that they
should join in the great national tribute to the

this course for a corps, wh|pn bears th.j honored

the suggestion has been carried out at -the earliest
moment.
this, I have tl)e honor to baud a roll of hon

request that they may be allowed the privilege of

It seems appropriate, indeed, that the two milita

and, it yours has lost the honor of being first in ac

Mr. Editor Allow we to suggest to the Ameri

[Jut in the race t and an Ajnfrie&tt' candidate be in
the field from every district for Congress. At this

party. Let there not be in Georgia a sihgle county
where*Any voter can have au excuse, “that he
would have voted our ticket, but we had uoue.” —
In many counties, I aln well aware that there is not
much hope for an election ; but let not that ooceide
ration deter the patriotic men of our party from ac
cepting candidacy. We must make sacrifices for
the govxi of our country, aud in the defence of great
prigvipleft . afid Heaven forbid, that aqy American

Mr. Editor .—ln times of ttejeneiafr,
amongst pufri.c tnee, it is not only riAttiiatflfe
record of tLeirfieeds should be full and perfect"! t>«
that the attention of the people should be so directed
as to rivet upon the memory the
position which they occupy. In the game now be
ing played by the Georgia Democracy, an effort
be made to get clear of the only honest (because
spontaneous) expression of opinion we have had
from them in a great whfle, by a side move or lechiii
ea/ity, and I therefore desire to keep the body po

gentlemen. The late Democratic Convention,
which was understood to speak by the Card, not
only lor Judge Thomas and. Linton Stephens, but
also for Col. Toombs and Mr. A. 11. Stephens", and
tlje friends of Southern Kights generally, passed a
resolution,wbich was alike creditable to their ps
trfotism and to their independence. It flew over
the Stat , causing a thrill of good feeling to wake
mp in the hearts of every man within its limits, who
could get his pulsations above the ditty levelpf
vulgar party discipline. The manly and honest of
the party themselves walked mere erect. Men
who believed themselves honestly advocating tte
cause of Democracy as the cause of the country,
dwelt with patriotic pride upon the jetion of their
highest representative body in the State, as upon
the conduct Os friends whose love of country could
rise sup Ti' r to party subserviency, anil in'the fcfl
majesty ofhouest frankness, rebuke President ai d
tweak by the nose dishonest appointees of power
who, as thejiired minions of Northern aggression
had stolen the livery of Southern confidence to out
rage South*-:.. J? ! ghts, and for worse than a mess of
IJOttage. trade off tne ponular principle honestly ad
vocated by Southern men, to aggrandize our ene
mies. It v. as a position of moral grandeur of which
the Democratic party, rank and file, who are only
interested like all others, in an honest administra
tion of the government, might well have been proud.
Bai also for poor human n'ature, and especially De
mocratic human nature , after taking this high and
honest position, the leaders are already beginning
quietly to pave the way towards a total abandon
inent of it, and meanly endeavoring to sneak out
because Mr. Buchanan says he endorsee Governor
Walker and denounces the action of Georgia and
Mississippi as ungracious. Now, mark the sequel
results are everything—how will the present posi"
tiouoi the Georgia Democracy eventuate, practi
cally, is the point of honest inquiry. To this end,
considerable interest is felt in the probable course
of Judge Thomas ard Linton Stephens, Mr. Gard
ner and the Times He Sentinel; because, in the first
place, they are representative .men —they are not
men of straw, or by the catalogue, but men in their
own right, and, secondly, they have put themselves
right upon the record, and it affords matter for cu
rious speculation, how their position will adjust it
self to the new phase of affairs in Kansas, and the
state of affairs likely to be there created by the es
forts of Gov. Walker on the soil, together with the
effects of the leader of the Union of last week, giv
ing them a severe rebuke a d indicating the action
of Walker as right in the abstract, and as meeting
the entire approval of the Administration.
The position of public men, I am iully aware
must be considered always with reference to the
state of facts going to make up the pending ques
tion. Let us enquire what is now, and what is
likely soon to be the state of the country. Gov-
Walker was sent to Kansas for two purposes :
Ist. To get rid of the present troubles by having
the Constitution to be adopted by the 'approachii g
September Convention, submitted to the mob of
licensed and unlicensed voters who may happen to
be in the territory at some contingent time there
after.
iid. To get a Democratic party organized in tie
Territory, to act in concert with him, and as De
mocrats to aid the President in making this misera
ble fraud appear to be the honest expression of the
people on the spot, though procured by the aid of
party screws aud the promised reward of honors,
offices, and patronage—thereby apparently work
ing out the two fold results of popular sovereignty
cm the one hand, and obtaining vast credit for the
party North on the other, for bringing in the Terri
tory as a freeeoil State.
Now, while it is barely possible that the loud
notes of approval which have followed the sugges
tion of this new Kansas scheme for degrading the
South, which have been found in the columns of
leading Black Republican journals, the New York
Herald , New York Times , and others, may not in.
fluence the ultimate determination of the leaders of
the Democracy iu Georgia, something will. For
we have a melancholy foregathering, that Mr.
Gardner, the Times 4* Sentinel, Mr. Linton Ste
phens, Judge Thomus and the rest, will in a short
time, find comfort to their patriotic hearts in the
fact that the people of Kansas have so willed it
And while they must still regard both Walker and
Buchanan as traitors to the South, and perhaps
may in whisperedaocenlsand confidential conver
sations, still denounce them as such ; yet, upon the
whole, taking the cue of the Charleston Mercury ,
they will consent to be satisfied with the result of
this second Stephens swindle. For although, their
President will have lost Kansas to the South fur
ever, he wilt perhaps have saved it to Democracy.
Although they have, in common with their own be
loved South, beeu betrayed by and whom they
trusted, yet the National Democracy maybe saved
by the bold and transparent trick from utter anni
hilation at the North.
Will they or not dwindle down in the face of an
intelligent people t<f.this position from the one so
lately and so proudly occupied by them ! We hope
uot, but fear they will. Come, gentlemen, honesty
is the best policy—let truth triumph, though the
heavens fall—don't siip out upon a side movement
or technicality—clonlt.dodge the issue. True, you
deceived us last fall, when you swore to us “as terri
bly as our army did in Flanders," that “Mr. Bu
chanan was true as steel to the South,” and you got.
the people’s votes, because they had faith in your
honesty. You have, found , and you have pro
nounced, Mr. Buchanan a traitor to your pledges.
We can credit your past record for truth, on account
of your frank avowals the other day at Milledgeville,
that you had trusted and been betrayed.
Now, don’t let us have to distrust you the balance
of our lives, by seeing you withdraw perhaps the
only honest political confession you ever made.
We have confidence in Thomas—some do not like
him—we have, on the contrary, always confessed
to a firmness for him ; there is an honest boldness
in the announcement of his opinions, however
wrong— an intensity of wrath in the unrelenting
sweep of hie denunciations, which would redeem
from vulgarity any opinion of his, with us, however
ridiculous. Besides, he never (in our humble judg
ment, and we have studied him with care) advanced
an opinion in his life, which, at the moment, he did
not honestly entertain—how long he continued to do
so Is, of course, another question. We Lave always
regarded him as a man capable of doing justice to
H political principle, and to a motive to human ac
tion, whether for or against him iu the end—as
somewhat like the story of an indiscriminate flat
terer, w hose sense of complacency was so keen that
while listening to some gentlemen who were cen
suring the Devil for setting men by ears, fermenting
strifes, kicking up rows, sowing the seeds of dis
cord broadcast through the land, qualified the cen
sure by remarking, “and yet, gentlemen, to do him
justice, it must be confessed lie is a person of emi
nent abilities.”
We have hopes that Thomas will stand up to his
recorded judgment. Perhaps the others may—we

Eighth Congreto!«ioiml District.
Mr* Editor As the name of T. W. Miller
has been suggested as a suitable Representative iu
the next Congress from the Bth District, I hope you
will allow me to suggest some of the why I
cordia'ly and heartily approve his candidacy at this
time. In what 1 may say, I hope the friends of the
pereouß whose names have been suggested hereto
fore, will uot be offeuded, for I can assure you and
them, I intend no disparagement to any. A® to
our present Representative, I take it* he will not
! again be in the field for Congressional honors, hav
j ing already served so long, that the position, of
; merely Representative, 1 presume has lost all its at
tractions for him ; and, as rotation and progression
i ia said to be the spirit and genius of the age, he cer
j tainly will not object to its universal application,
j Union aud harmony are very desirable in the com

I our interests and feelings are not almost the same ?
We have three political papers, all making war on
t Walker and his freesod policy in. K insas ; the pro
j minent members ot both parties have taken a simi
lar position, every county meeting in the d : strict of
both parties have expressed the same sentiments,
and with the expectiou of a few* party hacks, and
office seekers, public opinion is nearly together—
that is, the same.
Why, then, are we not united upon one, and the
same man to represent the united feeling of the dis
trict ? Is it because we have not a competent man ?
Nay, there is no man in Georgia who at this time ie
better qualified to represent us, possessing as he
does, an enlarged and cultivated mind, a soul filled
with kindness, and a will more determined, if pos
sible, than Jackson’s : he is guilty of no tricks or
I scheming, but is an honest, open, candid man. un

i to know him is to love and lespect him. as an ac- .

American Electing ia Heard Cuuniy.
Fra.vklin, July 2ist, 1857.
A meeting of a portion of the American PariyKif
Heard county, of appointing dele
gates to the Congressional Convention, to be held
in Newaan on the 24th inst., was organized by call
ing to the Chair Dr. George Harlan and
Wm. S. Thomas, Esq , to act as Secretary.
On motion, a committee consisting of Dr. W. J.
Arrington. T. J. Bird, and Samuel Ely, were ap
pointed to present matter for the action of the
meeting.
After a few moments absence, the committee re
ported through their Chairman, Dr. Wm. J. Arring
ton, the following resolutions :
1-t. Resolved, That, notwithstanding the over j
whelming defeat which the American Party sus- •
tained in the recent Presidential election through j
out the almost entire Union, and especially in Geor
gia, and the odium and disrepute into 4rhich oar j
political enemies of every school have studiously ;
labored to bring us. we still have abiding conn I
dance in the rectitude of our intentions, injLhe truth 1
and correctness of our principles, and that upon the !
practical enforcement of them alone the govern
merit can be wisely and equally administered.
2d. That whilst we condemn and vieV with alarm :
the course being pursued by Mr. Buchanan in the |
management of the affairs in Kansas, we regard it j
as the only one which could be pursued consistenllv !
with his longlife of open hostility to Southern rights i
and interest—consistently w th bis pledgee to tfc£ ,
National B mocnwy, and with some ot tue princi-*,
pies promulgated in those stupendous humbugs— ;
the Cincinnati Platform and Kausas-Nebraska bill,
to which he owes his present high posiwbn, and
against the ruinous effects of which the South was
timely and zealously warned l»y the American
Party.
3d. That while we agree with Southern Democrats
as to the dangerous heresies announced iu Gov.
Walker s dictatorial inaugural, justly meritirfg the
unqualified denunciation of the Southern peopis. we
disagree with them as to the subject proper for its
executive application, and that the epithet— *con
sunvQiate political hypocrite’—with which Mr. Bu
chanan has been characterized, is far more.appih
cable to their own party organization, and savors
of a spirit of rebellion and ingratitude unbecoming
good and loyal subjects.
4th. That the lion. Alfred Iverson, in his opposi
tion to the introduction of the aii i. suffrage feature
in the Minnesota bill, exhibited an mil-prudence
and disregard for party shackles, highly commenda
ble and meriting the confidence of every Georgian.
sth. That w« fully endorse the declaration of prin
ciples adopted and re-affirmed by the American
State Convention recently held at MiUedgeviile,
and especially its views as to a change in the ad
ministration of the State Railroad.
6th. That the selection of the Hon. B 11. Hill j.s
the American candidate for Governor, not only
meets our hearty approval, but that we will employ
all fair find honorable means to secure his election,
believing him, from his wisdom, integrity and zeal
ous devotion to she interetgof hie country, eminent
ly qualified foi that or any other office in the gilt of
the people.
7ili. That the following delegatee be appointed to
the Congressional Convention to be held at Now-
Dan on the 24th inst: B. L- Harris, A. J. Ponder,
P. A. Aubry, Jas. Hardy, W. T. Davis. M. A.
Mitchel, Samuel Ely, J. T. Nutt, A. M. Lane, S.
Turner, J. A. Griffis, John C. Brewer, John Slew

W. J. Arrington, Thos. Watts, B. D. Johnson, Hen
ry Hale, M. L. Culberson, Jas. Butterell, Jas.
Barnes W. S. Simms, T. J. Bird and G. W. Powers.
Bth. That when this meeting adjourns, it will ad
journ to meet in Franklin on the Ist Tuesday in Au
gust, to nominate candidates to represent this coun
ty in the next Legislature.
On motion of Mr. A. M. Woe d, it was then or
dered that the proceedings of this meeting be for
warded to the Chronicle 4* Sentinel and LaGrange
Reporter for publication.
The meeting then adjourned.

Interest-in#.
Mr Editor The following simple proposition
may, perhaps, not b; uninteresting do some of your
’readers. Notwithstanding its simplicity, it may
puzzle some one to solve it at once satisfactorily.
Suppose M. has an account of two hundred dol
lars with R., a merchant, which is due at the end of
the year. On the first day of July M. propoees to
cash his account, provided R. will, for the advance",
make a deduction from its face of ten per cent.
R. accepts the offer of M.
Quere ? What is R.’s actual per centum loss by
the operation ? Meerschaum.

Extra Prolific Whenr.
Mr. Editor : —ln your paper of the last issue, I
notice a communication, over the signature of
Thomas Little, in which ho says, he found in his
wheat field seventy*eight heads of wheat—the pro
duction of a single grain—and which yielded 3,383
sound grains. Now, he’can be beaten, and that
badly, for Mrs. Rebecca Gammon, of Pike county,
near Barnesville, has gathered in her garden, one
hundred and twenty-three heads—the production of
a single grain—the whole number of heads yielded
5,130 grains. Heat this, Mr. Little, if you can.
There are several men, who will testify that there
is no exaggeration in the above statement.

form of the American Convention, lr.tely held in
MiKedgeviße, and most cordially ratifythe nomina
tion of the Hon. Benjamin H llill, as the candidate
for the highest office in the gilt ot the citizens ol
Georgia. , ,
2d. The election of James Buchanan has settled
no principle in favor of the South. His conduct,
eiuce he has taken the Presidential Chair, 'in the
Walker Kansas affair, has convinced many men in
Georgia that they were misled into his support in
the last canvass; and what was foretold last year
by the Americans, has been fulfilled by the conduct
of the Administration. We, therefore, kindly and
confidently call upon the voters of Georgia to "unite
with ns in the honest support of the candidate, who,
in the last canvass, warned them of the evils which
we now so plainly see, and who are now firmly
planted on the Georgia Platform, prepared to defend
the just rights of Georgia as a Sovereign Southern
State.
3d. That the Convention now proceed to nomi
nate a candidate, for Congress from the Fourth Con
gressional District.
Dr. John S. Hill, of Troup, offered the following
resolution :
Resoued, That M. M. Tidwell, of Fayette Coun

the movement, countermanded it, left Genoa, and
escaped from Leghorn on board a ship carrying the
Portuguese flag. His friend and accomplice, Miss
White had been arrested at Genoa, as sue refused
to leave, aud had declared her intention to undergo
a trial.
A letter from Leghorn says that Government ac
counts admit fifteen soldiers killed, and twenty in
surgents shot who were captured with arras in their
hands. Private accounts estimate the soldiers kill

The Paris Pays says that the movement was the
result of a vast conspiracy, which would have been

Wooden Barometer. —Many of our readers
have, ho doubt, notified in this und other papers a
description of a wooden barometer, said to be in
use in Brazil aud other South Americau States. At
cur request Messrs. Hersee &. Timmerman have
made one. I is made of a slip of red cedar, cut
according to the grain, about aa eighth of au inch
thick, one and a half inches Wide, and thirty inches
long. On the back of this, strips of thoroughly sea
soned pine of the same thickness are gluea u - ns- -
versely to the grain of the cedar. This is set in a
neat pedestal of black walnut. We received ours
Saturday forenoon. It was just finished and stood
as straight as a pike staff. At 3 ox-lock in the as
temoon it had bent over so that a perpendioular
line from the top would fall about four inches ft om
the base. It rained heavily during the afternoon.
Yesterday it was a bright aay, with a slight pleas
ant breeze, and throughout the day, the standard
gradually approached an upright position, until at 6
i l . M. it was not more thun three quarters of an inch
from the perpendicular line. This morning at 6
o clock it bad bent over to three inches, At 7 it
was nearly four inches out ofline, and at 8 o’olock
it began raining. This statement will show the sen

Kxtraordinaky Sale of Land and Nigrois.
—The estate of Alexander Moorfe, of Halifax coun
ty, was appraised immediately after his death in
1850, at between $21,000 and $22,000. The execu
tor, Woodson Hughes, Esq , kept the estate to
gether until October, 1856, when he made sale of
the whole property at public auction, for cash, or
for bonds, well secured, bearing interest lrom date.
The estate, at the i.irne of the sale, consisted of 1000
acres of laud aud 35 slaves, Five of these slaves
were old and decrepid, and were an incumbrance.
From the year 1850 to 1856, several likely slaves
had died, so that altogether there had been no in
crease. And yet this property, appraised in 1850
at $22,000, was sold at public auction, for cash, or
its equivalent, for the immense sum of $70,000. It
will be thus seen that the property had more than
tripled its value in the brief space of five years. —

Conviction and {Sentence for PoiaoNiNe in
Vermont. —T‘o Vermont Caledonian gives the
particulars « f the conviction and sentence of Na
thaniel II S lies for an attempt to poison Charles
L. Fairbrother. The evidence showed a very ex
traordinaiy stale of facts. George Sulham, an ac
cofbplice, who was the principal witness, testified
that Sides pu» a drachm and a half of strychnine into
a hall pint ot gin, the whole of which was drank by
Fair b rot tit r Tho dose was large enough to kill
forty men. I l-coins, remarks the editor of the
Caledonian, to have affected Fairbrother quite un
pleasantly—-in fact it “set heavy” on his stomach,
made him fairr, and finally obliged him, at the ex
piration or four hours and a half, to take an emetic
to relieve himself from the burden. Sulkam’a testi
rnony was so far corroborated by other evidenoe as
to insure the conviction of Stiles, but what kind of
a stomach a man has who can twullow a drachm
and a hah oi strychnine with impunity we are not
physiologist euough to guees. Stiles was sentenced
to the state priaou for seven years.

Bombast in the Pulpit.— ln the few anniver
sary meetings which we attended, we saw some to
kens of the (XHggerftled, convulsive, bombastic
s yls ot speaking which many clergymen think is
eloquence. Our platform declaiiners are peculiarly
prone to sin in this manner. One orator, having oc
casion say that in a few years an entire genera
tion would begone, poured out each words as these
—“ the wavte of t;iim»will soon dash them all away
by its irresistible spray” -aocoufrianied by a vio
lent swing of bi'tri arms; while by others very com
mon aud sm.p e thoughts were illustrated by fiery
comets, mighty earthquakes, ar.d roaring eataraots.
One preacher treated us to a figure of a mighty rail
road to heaven, the cars of which had iun off the
track, aud men and women were making the awrul
plunge —duly illustrated by the arm thrust down
below the pulpit. We hope we shall sometime learn
to utter simple thoughts in simple words. An idea
is not magnified by the great swelling terms in
which it is set firth. Sump of our fashionable
rhetors have much to answer for in corrupting the
public taste. When a love for this tinsel rua the
atrical machinery and strut "gets into thupulp.t and
on the public platforms of religion- anniversaries,
truth and sincerity are not the things sought for. but
the excitement and effect, and the most oleum
things of life become shams.— Boston Courier.
The Weather.— The almost continuous rains
throughout the past fortnight, and which have fresh
ened the Low Country rivers to 1 heir very mouths
have yet shown no abat.eraenf. Indeed, Saturday
aud yesterday witnessed the heaviest falls of rain
during the season. Yesterday morning, at day d&wn
the rain poured down in torrent*, accompanied by
the most violent peals of. thunder. The lightning
struck in a number of places about the city and
harbor, but happily without loss of Hfe, or serious
injury to prop -rty. The Spanish bark Carmen, at
the head of Central wharf, had one of her top-gal
lant meats slightly i. jured. The derrick at the head
of the Custom HoUse wharf, next adjoining, was con
siderably damaged. The schooner Parker, lying in.
the stream, ha lier maimnast badly shattered. A
tree on the nofth side of Qtteen-street, near King,
was struck, and about six feet of the~top cut off.
We apprehend that these long continued rains
must prove very ii iurieua to the growing crops of
corn and cotton. The rice, wuerever it was not
destroyed by the bug*- during t!. preceding drought,
will be saved. But a large par: of the plantations
on Cooper River, Ashepoo and Combahee, suffered
beyond remedy before the rivers .were sweetened
by .he rains.— Charleston M cury, Monday.
lIYDRqpitROBiA ok Ralies.—At this season of
the year much fear is entertained of dogs becoming
rabid or mad from the supposed effects of hot wea
ther. Statistics of rabies go to show that contrary
to popular prejudice it occurs most frequently in
cold countries ?nd during Autumn, Winter and
Spring. In Prussia, from 1810 to 1819—1,658 per
sons died of hydrophobia. It is of frequent- occur
rence in Russia, Poland, Northern Europe, and in
the Northern States of the Union. Rabies seems to
be a rare disease in tropical climates. Dr. Savary
says : “The disease ie not known in the Island of
Cypius or Syria.” Larrey and Voiney say : “It is
never seen iq Egypt. ’ Dr. Barrow says : “It is
extremely rare a» the Cape of Good Hope, and in
the interior of Caffraria. Dre. Hamilton and Mose
] y both say \hat “tbote was hot a single case in Ja
"iaica for a period of fifty years previous to 17£3.”
The pr* valence of rabies in the Island of Creta is in
j consequence of the occupation of tne inhabitants,
who are dog fancieip, aud the breeding of choice
varieties of doge tor exportation is a source of con
siderable revenue. The bite of an enraged dog, fas
when fighting) not effected with hydrophobia, may
produce hydrophobia in man. The’ trae cause of
the disease in the dog is not known, but the most
probable causes are want of proper food and pure
water. *
Gov. Walker and the Rebels.— The bold
front of the Topeka rebels was assumed on the con
viction that there was np danger of an actual colli
sion with the U. S. troops. They, calculated Tin the
extreme reluctance of the government to
blood, and put down resistance by the bayonet. If
rebellion bad always beeq dealt with in a prompt
and energetic manner, the would not be so
often menaced, as it has be*n of late years, with
civil war. True mercy and humanity demand that
whenever, and wherever rebellion throws down the
glove of defiance, it shall be taken up, and the issue
decided oh tne spot by an appeal to arms. The re
peated burlesques upon<civil war in Kansas have
*?een most injurious to the influence of the govern
ment and national character. IF the rebels wfiit
war, the government, without further ado, should
give it to them to their heart’s content. —Richmond

SOMETHING NEW
HBTT’S PATENT VIBRATED STRING ATTACH
MENT.
THE attention of all lovers of Mnsio, and performers
on the Violin In particular, are Invited to examine
the late improvements by Andrew Hett, by which the
tone of the instrument la improved beyond description
This Improvement is taken from three natural vibrating
an for-instance ; the cote G, with the finger on the
D string, baa e vibration from the G ; the note D, with
the thlra fin er on the A string, has a vibration from the
open I> ; also, the third finger on the E string baa a vi
bration from the open A.
The At:a«*hnient la four additional strings, and tuned
in such a manner as to vibrate all the sharp and fUI
notes. The change from sharp to flat; are simply by
turning a small Capo d’Astra with the thumb, thus ren
deriug It one-half tone lower, and giving it eight‘extra
vibrati n*.
I have a few of these Instruments for sale, varying in
price from #2O to #SO. Also, a lot of ordinary VIOLINS.
