that cotton grows and matures early in the season
on the San Antonio Kiver, 1 enclose a sample of she

Com here is made, or so near so, that it is sate at
least. It is from the roasticg ear to ripe enough
to gather fodder from, and the crop is the heaviest
one that has ever been raised on this river ; I think
the average yield per acre will be full 35 bushels

Knldemle Ainon* the Cattle—A Cure.
Thk disease known ae “Black Tongue,'’ which
prevailed for otn time in Florida and Sontb
weHteni Georgia, ha* made it* appearance in this
and the adjoining ronntiea, and the cattle are very
extensively affected. We learn from a planter, re-
HidiriK near the city, whose cattle have Buffered
severely, that he ha* thus far uucceeded In curing
all that had been attacked, by using a wash of
strong Copperas Water. He forces open the month
as wide a* possible, and introduces a gag—then
with a mop, washes the afforded part* thoroughly,
night and morning. A euro was thus effected in

A Valuable Hook.
We are indebted to Messrs. Harper fit Bros.,
the publishers, for a copy of that most valuable
work, just published by them, “ A Cyclojiedia of

by J. Smith Human*, Corresponding Secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New

Statistical Register and by J. Hmrii Homans,
.lr,, B. S , .author of ‘ An Historical and Statistical
Sketch of the Foreign Commerce of the United

We regard this one of the most valuable works
that has been recently issued from the American
press , embracing as it doee much valuable and do
slrahle information to all classes, on all subject*
connected with “ Commeroe and Commercial Navi’

Cullough s Dictionary of Commerce and Cotnmer

omits those ohselete or lorvai topics in the English
work, which oooupy so much space and possess no
Interest to the American reader, whilst it supplies
many subjects of great importance to commercial
men in lids oountry, which in the English wotk arc
either omitted entirely or mentioned only inciden
tally
The editors of the Cyclopedia state that thoir
volume has been prepared with a view to supply
the want generally felt of anew and distinct work,
giving an ample account of the progtess ot com

Editor Republican —Dear Sir : The lice, worms,
and every other destructive iusect, appear to have
left tlie cotton crop. I have just returned to the

me very much of the old anecdote of the man who
eat his turkey hen on one hundred eggs. He said
to her, old lady just spread yourself the cotton is

elt 1 sow a gentleman laet Friday evening, who
now resides iu Texas, who lived In this neighbor
hood tor nineteen years, he removed last fail, and
foil Ills residence on the ll'th of June. He said to
inn that the com and cotton crops in this neighbor
hood were better at this time than he ever saw
them during his residence here, and that our cotton
was a* good as any he saw in Texas, or on the road
tiers, and that it had more bolls, bloom* and forms,
than any cotton that lie had seen at any place.—
There i* no man In this neighborhood that could
wish or desire a better crop than he has. Au eld
planter of this neighborhood, observed to me that
the surest indication of a good crop year was to
have au abundance of fruit, and to see the trees of
the forest full of acorns, and that never iu hie life
did he see a more abundant fruit year, that the
forest trees were never fuller ot mast, aud that vve
would be certain to make a large crop. The old
gentleman that called my attention to this indica
tor, ts seventy-six years of age, a man of gjod sense,
a close observer, and a man of great experience. I
liave since observed Ins iadicatore closely and eve
ry tree that is cultivated and every tree in the
forest is literally severed with fruit. So it this in
dication proves true, we shall have a glorious har
veec. Com looks as well as 1 ever saw it, and i; the
seasons continue two w eek* longer the yield will be
abuudaut in tide neighborhood.

I have travelled through Twiggs, Houston. Macon,
Sumter, Lee, and Dougherty counties, and such
prospects tor corn and cotton 1 have never before

t* enough to gladden the hearts of all. and especial

The cotton crop is by no means so sure yet, as
many contingencies may yet happen to cut the crop
short- The health of the people is remarkably good

the ootton had been completely devoured by them
He saw them yeeterdav iu their work of destruc

of approaching danger from this cause, three days

of giaeshoptiers may be in the neighborhood, or m

Our advice to the planters is to set an bands to

Gen. Walkxr more Definite —Gen. William
Walker visited Columbus, Mis*., a few day* since,
and was enthusiastically received there. In h;s
speech to the citizens, he more distinctly and em- j
phaticaily referred to the filibustering proposition
made to him by the Administration—which Judge
Campbell had refused to allow him to prove or even
allude to ! A correspondent of the Mobile Mercury
gives the following report of tbiß part of General
Walker’s speech:
“One part of the Generals address told with
deadly effect on Liß enemies. He stated and assur
ed the audience that pcsiti ve evidence was at hand,
within his conlroi and reach, that Mr. Buchanao,
while, for political purposes of Lis own, charging
him with high political crimes, with piracy and out
lawry, was himself the oulprit, and through hie Sec
retary of War sent an embassador to him, saying
that if he Would forego the Nicaraguan enterprise
and engage in the service of Mexico, and while in
that esrvice do some act, such a* tearing down the
flag of Spain, rendering a war between Spain find
Mexico inevitable, he (Walker) would receive the
countenance and i upport ofthe Administration
“Gen. Walker *aid this proposition was rejected
with contempt, and he ntiured hi* hearers that if he
had been actuated by the baser motives of public
men, the Administration, in its anxiety to crush
siavery iu Central America, had disgraced itself,
the country aud mankind, by endeavoring to make
him an instrument in fomenting a war between two
powers now at peace. With the fervor and fire of
the truest and most elevated patriotism, he deolared
that, as all his misfortunes had commenced in Nic
aragua from the establishment of slavery in that
region, he would continue faithful to hit* native
South, aud he called on the bravo and the true In
the land to give him their sympathy and support.
“You can imagine how such a disclosure, and
the accompanying appeal was received. Scorn for
the Pauldings and their secret inetructionists, was
lost in admiration for the gallant bearing of Genera!
Walker throughout thi* humiliating business—ene
miea became friends, and here, at least, the cause of
Nicaragua is now in the asoendant.”
The Monroe Obsequies—The ceremonies at
tending the reception of t’e remain* of ex Presi
dent Monroe at Richmond, and the re-interment at
Hollywood Cemetery are described at great length
by the Richmond papers, and appear to have been
of a grand and lmpressi ve character:
The ceremonies connected with the interment of
the remains of President Monroe were grand aud
beautiful, and suggestive auu elgni/lcant in the
highest degree. The solemnity of (he scenes iol
parted to the late anniversary of our National In
dependence the air of Sabbath-day of Freedom.
We give below a full account of the proceedings of
this most interesting occasion, ari occasion w hich
rendered deserved honor to the dead and which
proved that the living appreciate the virtues by
wliioh our institutions were founded, and are deter
mined to preserve intact the heritage of liberty they
have obtained for us. The contrast between the
simplicity of Mr. Monro*'* life and the pageantry
of his funeral suggested itself, no doubt, to every
mind, but it wan not an ompty pageant. A cere
mony which brought to tlie shores of Virginia five
hundred of the best soldiers of New York aud ar
rayed them side by side with tho gallant Virginia
troops, in honor of a son of Virginia, a Revolution
ary liero and an American President, shows that
whilst Patriots aud Presidents of a former era die
aud moulder, the principles of Patriotism, of Love
or Country and of the Union, ocutinue indestructi
ble, oaianating from the mind* and hearts of men,
of North and South, of East and West, more power

Rowino it liadies.—A correspondent of the
Cheltenham Examiner calls attention to the prac
tioe, now become fashionable at the PlttvUie Spa,
of ladies taking boat exercise on the lake. He
says: “There i* no exercise that I know of more
calculated to expand the chest and give a healthy
tons to the system generally than that of rowing.
Followed in moderation, it la an amusement which
ladies, aud particularly young ladies, would do well
to patronize. It oails Into healthy action the whole
muscular system, without Inducing that degie.o of
futigue which the same amount of exercise tn any
other way is apt to engender.” It ,s no uncommon
thing, we (Cheltenham Examiner) understand, to
see parlies ofladts* t hus amusing themselves by
the hour in “paddling the light canoe.”
The Emperor of F ranee spends a couple of hours
every day at Fontainebleau rowing, biß Mujeety's
phyeicians having recommended that form of taking
exercise.

Holding office in Utah is no joke, and not very
dignified, If this passage from the correspondence
of the Trlbuno Is as true as It Is graplilo :
I have seen the Governor of the Territory walk
ing gravely up the road towards his tents, carrying
a piece of stovs funnel under each arm. I have seen
the Chief Justice cutting the turf for a ohlmney,
and punching the oxen which were drawing logs to
build his cabin; the Secretary of State splitting
wood, and the United Hiatts Attorney and Marshal
plastering the walls of their hut with mud. Yester
day I saw one of the United Btaise Commissioner,
stripped to the butt aud riding on horosback. pilot
ing a wagon through a ford across tho South Platie,
which he had discovered by wading, while the oth

An English Vixw of our National Anniver
sary.—The London Athennum lately made a strik
ing reference to our nation’s birthday, and al
though it makes tlie “Old Bay State’’ a little older
than she really is, yet It is so well done, with so
clear au idea of the real spirit of the oelebratlon
of our “ one great holiday, ” that we oopy a tew
paragraphs :
In less than a month from this present date Ame
rica will celebrate the eighty-second anniversary of
her national birthday. Throughout the whole of
the States, however divided by political language
and sympathy, by questions of boundary and color,
there will ou that day be heard in each oily aud
oouuty one unanimous speech—there will glow one
confederate banner.
From Massachusetts, to Minnesota and Arlzonia,
the youngest-born—from Indian Dacotah, where
the suu shines an indistinct light on unassigned
claims and unencumbered estates of green w 7 ood,
to Spanish San Francisco, where it flaunts along the
path of the ocean steamer, and flings gold dust into
the eyes of helmsman aud passenger—through an
affluent land which eighty years of labor have mar
vellously urged, strong'iieued with ribs of railroad,
quiokon'ed with almost vital nerves of telegraph,
made to throb with busy agencies and motive pow
or of invention aud manufacture, blessed and made
happy with appreciable harvest* of wheat and oot
ton and rice, no les.i than two inappreciable har
vest* of freedom and peace—during one day busi
ness acd trade and political enmity will pause to
keep a common jubilee.
In honor of that day the wagon on the prairie will
have its arch of leaves, the lumber raft floating
down the Mississippi will attach to its rough pine
•naat a July flag, tne steamer far ogt at sea will hoist
a garland at the fore—a motley papulation, of all
hues, German, Indian, civil and military, will make
music in what, twenty years ago, were forest streets,
and along the thirteen thousand miles of coast, from
every cape and hcadlaod, peaceful cannon will pro
claim to the wot id a declaration of American inde
pendence.
Nor iu lota favored climates will the day oe for
gotten Compliment or sympathy will deck with
American colors the harbors of Montreal, Sydney
and Liverpool. Americans will be glad in Rome, in
Florence, and perhaps too in Paris—and in token
of political amity and fearless of clear and open
search, the portroile of Queen Victoria and Presi

Postoffice Robber Convicted. —Dr.E. W. Fel
lows hae iust been convicted at Buffalo of robbing
the mails in 1856. He had been out on bail ever
since, and was confident of his acquittal. On tear
ing the verdict he became entirely prostrated. The
Courier says :
Fellows ts a man about 47 years old, and has a
family. He was employed ae a copying clerk in the
Buffalo poetoffioe at the time he wa* detected. He
was suspected of robbing certain letters received at
the office and watched by Major Dickie, the post
master, who found that be used to visit the office
in the Eight. On one ccoasion, at four o'clock iu
the morning, he was engaged in opening packagts
within four feet ofthe place where Mqjor Dickie was
standing on the watch. Finally, after being fre
quently seen in his movements, he wa* surprised
upon the spot by the postmaster, and did not at
tempt to ae y his guilt. He had hitherto borne a
good character, and found some sympathy in the
community, but the proof against him was too
strong to be resisted, and it has carried him down.
He has not yet been sentenced, but the least term of
imprisonment ie, we believe, ten years. 4
A despatch from Washington, dated July 4th,
says:
Mr. Forsyth, in his despatches, says, that while
he has ceased to bold diplomatic intercourse with
the government of Zulosga, he deemed it better to
remain in Mexico to afford protection to American
citizens if needed, and until be could learn the view
of his government as to bis course. While the ad
ministration views the action of the Zuloaga govern
ment, with regard to ths forced contributions, ae an
impolitic stretch of power, and injurious to Ameri
can citizens, It has not yet decided if it be a viola
tion of treaties. Attorney Genera! Black hae the
ma’ter under consideration, and will soon submit
his views to the President. We have a treaty with
Mexico, based on the treaty made by that republic
previously with England, forbidding the imposition
cf a forced loan or contribution. The queetion for
the Attorney General to decide, then, i* this ;is a
forced loan against the terms of the treaty ?

We regret that the amount ie not larger, but, from
the spirit of the exercises, aided by an eloquent ad

Hnbbxth School*—Ceiebrnrlon r.r Berzelln.
Mr. Editor : In these fast days no traveler leaves
home, no matter for what distance, or how short a
time, without seeing or hearing something that is
calculated to p'cas* and to instruct. Pleasure trips
over the placid waters of some river, or a run to the
mountains, or to some watering place, or a summer's
tour North, or even a sail on the broad Atlantic,
are the pastimes of many of the good people of our
highly favored Southern oities. YVhat a pity that
those who have the means and the leisure to amuse
themselves, do not find it in their hearts to blend
amueement'with usefulness. A jaunt iu the Piney
Woods—the dark ooruers of this land—would be
just as healthful and just as instructive. The noble
pine, the babbling brook, the singing of the birds,
and the winds, would not fail to please ; and thus
the denizen's cabin, filled a* it is with sons and
daughters, forming a people with characteristic*
peculiar to themselves, free politically, but in men
tal aud spiritual bondage, would excite thoughtful
ness and stir the sympathies of tho philanthropist.
Poor fallen man, living without education, and
what is more to be regretted, without Sabbath
privileges! The Piney Woods, lying adjacent to
the Savannah, are clasalo ground. The patriots of
other days struggled manfully for their possession
against the skulking Tory and tha terrible oavage.
The patriot of the present day ought not to yield
them up to an enemy more to be dreaded than Tory
or Indian —an enemy who will deetroy both body
and oul. The Preaoher, the Colporteur, and the
zealous Sabbath School Teacher are in demand.
The Piney Woods present a field worthy the meta’
of the Christian soldier. One county in Geor
gia has already entered this field of action—
Columbia will redeem her dark comers through the
instrumentality of Sunday Schools. Seven of these
nurseries of the Church are now in succeesful ope
ration indifferent portions of her Piney Woods, and.
Eternity alone can reveal the umount of good they
have already done. The anniversary of these
schools, held on the 3d inst., at Berzeiia, was a most
interesting affair, and a delightful way of commem
orating the birth day of a nation's Independence.
The bringing together of two to three hundred chil
dren iu one happy band, picked up from the scat
tered cabins of the wood*, attest* the work of love
going on. Hundreds who witnessed and participa
ted in the pleasures of the day, have gone to their
homes with feelings aroused to ths importance of
Sunday Schools, aud no doubt invoke the blessings
of Heaven upon this glo.louu enterprise of the good
Eeoplo of Columbia. Let the wortc widen, until
Sabbath Schools are found all over our land ; fieri,
what are now our deserts, will “ rejoice and blos
som as the rose”—yes, they will rejoice “ even with
joy and singing,” for the shackles of the worst of ty
rant* will have been broken, and their sons aud
daughters, “ clothed and in their right minds,” will
take rank with the now more favored ones of towns
and oltie*.

To the Hon. John J. Whitaker and others, Mem
bers of the Board of Trustees of Fayetteville
Seminary.
Gentlemen :—We take great pleasure in report
ing to you, that the Examinations, whioh have just
closed, of tho Classe* of Fayetteville Seminary,
have been one aerie* of constant eucoesee*. We
have noticed an entire failure in no single Instance.
Every thing considered—the Examinations and
Exhibitions of the young gentleman and ladies—
their ages and opportunities—the timo engaged in
school—we are confident that we have never at
tended a literary festival of superior merit. We
consider you very fortunate In the choice you have
made of Teachers for your Seminary.
In the prime of life, competent, without contro
versy ; enthusiastic in tho school-room; able and
willing to work for the welfare of their soholar*,
you have but to do your duty to them, to soon have
made your oare, one of the largest, as it now is In
onr opinion, one of the best schools in Georgia.—
You may well be proud of the success of your
school, considering the money it has cost and the
ime it has been iu operation. If you will make
oom for scholars, instead of congratulating your
selves with having 150, we will venture to predict
that before the,year closes, the number will pass
200.
We were glad to sea bo much attention paid to
spelling, reading, grammar, and especially arith.
metip. All education Is valuable only as it is tho
rough, and no one can be thoroughly educated who
is deficient in fundamentals of learning. Tho reoi
tations in the higher branches ot Mathematics, and
in Latin and Greek, were all highly creditable, both
to the scholars aud teacher*. “To eduoate is to
develop,” says Mr. Looney In his admirably ar
ranged “Southern Arithmetic,” and we are pecu
liarly gratified to see so much attention paid to
learning the student to depend upon his own reason
ing powers, and be able to give an illustration of
the faith,that is in him, by something independent
of the text-book. The gentlemanly and lady like
bearing of the scholars evinces that your principal
teacher is no ordinary disciplinarian, and in the
language of another, vre are willing to speak of him
as the “Model Teacher j” ana while we say this,
we think, that the success of the school depends
much upon the associate teaohers. Few Semina
ries have four such Teachers as Morgan and George
Looney, and Mr. Cumming and Miss Carlton. Each
seemed to vie with the o’her to see which could
leave the best impression upon the Board of Ex
aminers.
Where all the Classes did well, we do not feel
like selecting any, for peculiar notice. We do not
think we have ever seen aechoo! apparently more
attached to their Teachers. There seems to be no
great distance between Teachers and Scholars, and
yet none of that familiarity which breeds contempt.
Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees, we have ad
dreesed yon freely, and yet we hope truthfully.—
We have not felt like writing you a long essay,
which none would rsad, but have contented our
selves with giving you a few fair, candid expres
sions of our entire approval of the scenes which
you invited us to witness. Be encouraged, and fc*
ter the school committed to your care, As guar
dians cf learning, you are engaged in a noble work.
Your reward will be an honest conviction of an
earnest effort to elevate your country by educating
her sons and daughters.
Yours truly,

The Cattle Disease —The Savannah Republi
can says.-—We learn that the cattle disease ha*
made it* appearance in the lower part of Effingham
and the upper part of Chatham counties. But few
cattle have died from it, as on washing the mouth
with Turpentine the disease quickly disappears.
In the neighborhood where it La* mace it* appear
ance the inhabitant* have quit eating beef.
“In Bulloch county a maD, having a cut on his
hand, was washing the mouth* of some cattle, when
he unfortunately aliowed some of the saliva from
the mouth of a cow to get into the wound, when it
acted like poison. The person g-ew very ill from
the effects ofit, and at last account* his recovery
was very doubtful.
“As Spirit* ofTurpentine hae proved an effectual
remedy in numerous oases, the Ptea* generally
would be doing the public a service by making a
note of the fact.”

The military of the let Regiment assembled at
their various points of meeting, and marched to the
rendezvous on Main street, near First Market
There they were joiu rd by ihe Herrieo Dragoons,
and the Rocky Ridy.e Rifles, of Manchester. The
line wa* formed at 7 o'clock, the right resting on
13ib street, anu so< n after, the co umn, under Col.
August, took up t'oe lire of march for Rocket s.—
The Young Guard Battalion, under Col. Richard
son, left their armory at at- early hour, and proceed
ed to the same place. On arriving at the wharf,
the military stacked arms, and were temporarily
dismissed, to await the arrival cf the Jamestown,
with the remains of President Monroe, and the
Glen Cove with the New York Seventh Regiment
—the chivalrous guard of honor.
Arrival of the Jamestown —The Jamestown
came in eight at ten minutes past 8 o'clock, and
slowiy approached the wharf, with flags and eigna 3
at half halliard*. The military were drawn up In
line on the wharf, and thousand* of spectators has
tened to eecurethe most e igiblo points of observa
tion. As the ship came atongaide her wharf, the
oommittee and guests from New’ York stood on the
upper deck, and appeared to regard with much in
terest the exciting scene on shore.
The remains of President Monroe having been
removed trom the forward saloon to the upper
deck, and placed under an arming, Gov. Wise and
Mayor Mayo proceeded on board the Jamestown
and received the guests, and au interchange of
friendly greeting took place. The Governor invi
ted the visiting gentlemen to make his residence
their home during their sojourn, and the Mayor ten
dered them the hospitalities of the city.
Arrival of the New York National Guard.
—The steamer Glsn Cove, with the New York Sev
enth Regiment on board, came in sight at 10 min
utes past 111, and despite the solemnity of the occa
sion, tlie younger portion of the assembled throng
gave vent to their feelings in a oheer. As the stearn
erqapproached the wharf, her appearance wa* really
imposing. The soldiers, with their glittering arms,
were paraded ready for debarkation, while tlie
splendid band of the Seventh, stationed on the for
ward deck, played a aolemn dirge.
The Virginia troops were drawn up In line fao lug
the river, ready to receive the visitors, and without
unnecessary delay, the Seventh left the boat, aud
passed on to the right of the line, the Virginia mili
tary presenting arms as they marched by.
It is impossible to describe the excited appearance
of the throng at this time. The crowd of spectators
increased every moment, aud the housetops, the
wharves, the decks of the vessels, and the adjacent
MU iides, swarmed with a living, moving mass of
human beings.
Removal of the Remains —The hearse, drawn
by six white horses, attended by six negro grooms
dressed in white,now proceeded to the *tflamer and
under the direction of tho pail-bearers, reoeived the
remains. The troops presented arms—flags were
lowered—drums rolled and trumpet* scounded, af
ter which Armory Band played a dirge, while the
hearse proceeded to its place in the Tine. Minute
guns were fired and bells tolled, continuing during
this progress of the proceision to the Cemetery.
The Procession. —Ali along the route, a distance
of more than two miles, the sidewalks were lined
with spectators; every balcony, porch and window
overlooking the street —every available spot on the
line—was orowded with ladies, children and mm.
The minute guns continued firing; tbe bells in the
vicinity of the route w ere tolled, and answered by
peals from others in th dieumoe; business seemed
universally suspended ; vehicles were drawn aside
into the oross streets, at the attention of the entire
community concentrated in the imposing pageant
in honor of the memory of the illustrious man whose
bones were now on the way to their earthly resting
place.
The troops marched with reversed arms, and the
bands played muslo appropriate to the occasion.
On arriving at Hollywood Cametery the proces
sion halted, while those in carriages and on horse
back alighted, and at one o’clock, P. M , the line
passed through the main entrance into the beautiful
resting placs of the dead.
Ceremonies at the Grave. —The grave of
Monroe is located in the southwest comer of Hol
lywood, on an eminence commanding a magnifi
cent view of the oity, the river and the environs.—
A commodious platform had been erected there for
tho aooommodation of the speakers and guest*.
The grave is five feet deep, set in cement, and eo
arranged as to give a secure foundation to the pro
posed monument.
After the line was formed around the grave the
coffin was removed from the hearse and taken
thereto ;• and when the remains were lowered into
the grave the troops presented arms and the Band
ot the Seventh Regiment played a dirge. This por
tion of the ceremony being over, Gov. Wise appear
ed on the front of the platform and addressed the as
sembled multitude. At the close of his eloquent
tribute to the merits of the deceased Statesman, the
Rev. Uhas. li. Read, D.D., offered up a prayer, and
when he ceased speaking the artillery— stationed
outside the enclosure—tired three salvos, announo
ing the close of the ceremonies.
The column was again formed, and on reaching
the outside of the grounds the rousio played a
quickstep, and the procession was oonduoted baok
to the oity.
Liberia — An African Congress. —The Rook Is

Purser Danfortb, U- ti N., who jjhaa visited Liberia
recently. He went to see tne Congress,now in ses
sion, and says --
The Senate consists of eight “fust family” nig
gers and the House of Representives of eleven. The
ex-President, Roberts, is nearly white, aEd wears a
white moustache. The present President, Benson,
iu a full blooded darkey, a* is also the Vice Preei

States, and sent out here by the ColonixationSooie-
ty.
They had up a great queetion in tbe House of
Representatives; viz : the propriety of increasing
the salaries of the officers ; and the speeches were
highly amusing. One fellow, who dia not seem to
b* ie the secret, had ventured to x’isert that an ad

therefore annsxeed Itself to Liberia.
The population of Liberia is estimated to be about
200,000, nearly all of wkom are native “bushmen.”
The colonists proper number about 12,000, and
cast about 1,200 votes. Their counties (four) an
swer to our states, and their government modelled
after our own.
They have a jail, three churche* and a “recepta
cle” —a house where emigrants'are kept until they
can take oare of themselver. Their defences are
our small howitzpre mounted on a hi!! near the
town; four more which lay unmounted aiid half
oovered with sand on tho beach, where they were
first landed; and one more whicli is in the same
condition, on an unßligktiy place they oa!l a gov
ernment square. Their navy consists of a little
schooner, the Lark, which was presented to them by
Great Britain.
The whole business of the colony eaemstobe con
trolled by a few families, who monopolize all the
offices, control the funds and tax the people to the
extent of their ability to pay. A fair opportunity,
forty years, and under the aid of the Home Coloni
zation Society, has been given to see what the ne
gro can do. What little evidence of civilization
they do exhibit is only that reflected from the whites.
I beileve now', if the aid afforded them from abroad
was withdrawn, that they would nearly all take to
the bush iu a very short time.
Noble Conduct. —During the crisis last fa 11
Messrs. West & Caldweil, dealers in dry good* used
in the hat and cap business, at 52 Broadway, were
oompeiled to suspend. They forthwith called a
meeting of their creditors, and laid a statement of
their affairs before them. A committee was ap
pointed, who, after a thorough investigation, unani
mously recommended that tho creditors accept fifty
cents on the dollar. This was with like unanimity
acceded to, and the whole matter was closed, and’
the firm discharged.
On the first day of July instant, the creditors
each reoeived a printed circular, stating that the
assets had turned out much better than there was
reason to expect when the compromise was made,
and that enclosed would be found a check for the
fall balance and interest. The ohecks were all found
as stated, and amounted in the aggregate to over
$36,000, not one cent of whioh were they under aDy
legal obligation to pay.
‘We would rather have the consciousness of this
act, with the letters of hearty acknowledgment
that came showering in upon Messrs. West & Cald
well, in response to their circular, than to receive
$36,000 multiplied by ten. One of the creditors (a
leading firm) informed them that they had taken the
liberty to have the oirouiar framed, and hung up in
their office. Blessed and refreshing, in these de
generate days, are suoh instances of high and hono
rable fidelity to tbe right —New York Post.
Extraordinary Scene at Tuam. —Thursday,
the 3d inat., having been the festival of Corpus
Christ!, great numbers were to be seen entering
Tuam, to witness the usuai procession of the
“Host.” About one o'clock the procession appear
ed. The host was oarried by Dr. M’Hale under an
ornamented canopy, borne by four ecclesiastic,sur
rounded by a ftw priests in rich vestments, preced
ed and followed by trains of nuns and young girls.
When the proteesion approached the leading en
trance. accompanied by a large crowd of persons
with hats off, it wa* met by the Rev. C. H. Sey
mour, holding a Testament in his hand, who, when
the procession drew near the gate, advanced to
ward Dr. M’Hale, and said, “I am the minister of
Jesus Christ in Tuam, and as such Ido solemnly
protest against this idolatrsus ceremony, in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost. I do also declare that ‘God Is a spirit, and
they that worship him must worship him in spirit
and in truth,’ and that every one who is a sharer in
this idolatrous ceremony is guilty of a sin which
will keep him from tbe kingdom of heaven.” On
this an official said, “This is the Ark of the Cove
nant,’ and another, “We have Jesus Christ there.”
Mr. Seymour replied, “Jesus Christ ia in Heaven,
at tbe right hand of God, and not there ; and it ie
idolatry to worship God under an image.” An at
tempt was now made to close the gate by an or
der of some person in the crowd. This order was
afterward countermanded, and the gate thrown
open. When the procession returned toward the
chapel, an animated conversation took place be
tween Mr. Seymour and some of the people, while
others booted. Soon after, Mr. Seymour left with
out having been molested by the crowd.— Parish

Accident — Six persons dashed to
Pieces.— About noon on Tuesday last, four men and
two boys asoended the shaft at the Tkomastown
colliery, in Schuylkill, co., Pa , in a car resting on a
cage. When within a few inches of the top, a pin
upon which the cage reels when it reaches tbe top,
was pulled out too soon, and the car was not on a
level with the platform sufficiently to permit it to
be rolled off the cage. Iu this position two of the
wheel* of the ear were rolled off the cage, but it wa*
found impcusibie to get the other wheels off. A sig

The Cattle Disease is Moktgomirt.—A sub
scriber in Montgomery oounty writes to the Savan
nah Republican ae follows, under date of the 3d
instant:
“As I have seen nothing published yet about the
fatal distemper now prevalent among the cattle aDd
deer in this and all other sections of Georgia and
Florida, that I have heard from, I drop you a line
on the subject. The cattle are dying at a fearful
rote in this section, and from the number of deer
that has been found dead I am thinking but few
will be left. The disease affects the cattle in the
feet and head ; the feet become sore and they move
about precisely like a foundered horse; the nose
swells up and becomes sore and the roof of the
month IB perfectly rotten, so that it is impossible
for them to eat anything. The disease made its ap
pearance among my cattle about three days ago,
and I had this morning upwards of twenty head
sick ; at this rate they mnst all die unless there be
a remedy found soon. Who will givs the remedy ?
For the information of “G. M.” and ail others
concerned, we republish the following prescription,
which has been used, it is said, with much success,
by the planters in the southern part of this State
and Florida : —[Ed. Kep.
“Copperas and water, a strong decoction, half a
gallon to which add half a pint of Spirits of Turpen
tine : used as a mouth wash, once a day for two
days, and drench with one pint of salt and water. 7
Disease Amosg Cattle—We learn that a
disease, called “black tongue,’’ is prevailing to au
alarming extent in our District, and that the cattle
are dying from its effects, no remedy having yet
been discovered to save them. A gentleman in
formed us on sale-day that he had just iost a valua
ble oow, and four others had the disease.—Barn
well (S. C ) Sentinel.
The Black Tosou*.—James H. Hill, Esq , in
formed ue that yesterday morning he croesed the
river on a hunting excursion. He soon started a
large deer, which was caught by the dogs in a run
of a few hundred yards Upon examination, he
found the deer diseased with the “ black tongue,”
which is proving so destructive in Florida and the
Southern counties. He also informs ns that some
cattle in the neighborhood have been attacked with
the disease. Mr. Hill says that a friend from
Lowndes county, where this disease prevails, states
that a solution o’ salt, alum and eoppwaa, used as a
wesh and a drench, will effect a cure in most cases.
Sulphur is also mentioned as a remedy.— Albany

Shocking Accidest. —On Saturday last, a little
child of John B. Morgan, residing a few miles below
Lafayette. Ga, fell into a mil pond aud sank.
Shortly afterwards the mill was suddenly stopped,
and the father of the boy ran to ascertain the cause,
when he found the dead body of his child, horribly

Railroad to Savannah 60 cents, aud to Charleston 80
cents per bale for Cotton.
The Tennessee Banks.—The Nashville Union, of
Saturday, says :—Yesterday tho Union Bank threw out
the notes of the Bank of Tennessee. Tho roason for
this action is the same as that which prompted tho
Planters’Bank to a similar course. From an outside
source, we learned last night that the Bank of Tennes
see had come to terms, and that to*day its notes will be
received by tho Union Bank as usual.
Our leading Banking institutions—the great guns—
present rather a singular spectacle just now. Tho
Planters’ aud Union Banks having resumed specie pay
ments, the former refuses to receive on deposit or in
payment of debts, the notss of the Bank of Tennessee,
because it has not resumed specie payments and will
not make such arrangement for tho redemption of its
notes as the Planters’ Bank considers satisfactory. The
Union Bank adopted a similar course, and the result is
know n. Some arrangement has been entered into with
the Union Bank by which its demands have been met
The public will be eftrious to know why the Bank of
Tennessee will submit to conditions, to maintain its
credit at the Union Bank, while it will not do so at tho
Planters’ Bank, an institution which stands equally as
high as tho Union Bank. The uninitiated cannot under
stand these manoeuvres, and the result will be to iiyure
the standing of a Bauk that is regarded as perfectly sol
vent. We hope, for tho credit of tho State, we shall
have no more of this child o play.
Solvency of the Bank of Tennessee.— The Nash
ville Union say.<:
We understand that sharpers have already been play
ing upon the credulity of the people in some of tho sur
rounding counties, in regard to the solvency of the Bank
of Tennessee, and have been buying up its notes at a
discount of fifteen cents. This is too fad. The Bank of
Tennessee is just as solvent to-day ant was before the
Planters’ Bank refused to take its notes on deposit The
issues of the Bank of Tennessee are taken for all debts
due the otate, and no man should submit to be shaved
upon them.
NEW YORK, Saturday, .July 10, P. M.— drain —The
market for common and inferior grades of Wheat is very
heavy and prices strongly tend downward. Os good
sound lots in a small quantity is wanted, to complete
shipment at about previous quotations.
Tho following is from Wm. G. Cutting’s Circular i
“ The Wheat market has ruled quiet, with a tendency
to lower prices for unsound parcels, of whioh the supply
chiefly consists. Shippers in view of the continued un
favorable accounts from Europe, and the advanco in
freights, manifest no very great desire to operate, while
the home trade are holding back in anticipation of a de
cline in prices. The transactions of the week aggregate
153,000 bushels, closing at sl.oo®Bl 02 for Winter Red
Western; $1.02981.10 for White Michigan Indiana, Ac,
•1.0391.10 for White Canadian ; 81.0891.10 for old Red
Southern; and 812091.25 for new do.; 81.1591.28 for
old White* and 81 4091.42 for new White Southern.—
For Com the demand has continued good, aud with a
limited supply prices have ruled strongly in favor of the
seller. Pretty much of all the Mixed Western is com
ing forward in an unsound condition. The quotations are
68978 cents for Mixed Western ; 80981 cents for white
and 78988 cents for Yellow Southern.”
Flour —The transactions in the Flour market during
the week have only been to a moderato extent, ana
prices generally havq n* material change.—
The sales teem In excess of the receipts, and the
(UsiGAmentß of common grades have become much re
duced. Southern Flour has ruled quiet at unchanged
prices. The quotations are—64.4594.75 for common su
perfine, and 64.b097.50 for tho whole range of fancy aud
extra.
Sugars —Prices snow a slight improvement on the
week, aud the market is buoyant; sales since our last
700 hhds. at 61981 for Cuba and Porto Rico. There is
very little refining qualities of Cuba now to be hod an
der 6$ cents.
MoUssss —A continued steady market prevails, but
the inquiry is exceedingly light.* Sales since our last 5G
lihds. Cuba Muscovado, at 28 cents. We notice consid
erable movements going pn in sugar-house syrups, and
most holders £,rp asking 45c.
Mac*— The sales comprise 600 Dry Texas, 26 ft. 17,
rejecting bad llideH, less 34 per cent ; 143 Dry Flint,
Charleston, 11 IB.; 144; 147 Dry Salted do., 30 ib. 144,
and 500 City Slaughter.
Dry Goode The coming season is scarcely opened,
and there is little to be said. There is no prospect o*
any material improvement, as compared with that just
closed. A few Western and Southern buyers have ar
rived—among the latter are New Orleans and Nashville
merchants -who look about quite leisurely, complaining
the Vhile of the low price of produce, and, above all, the
difficulty of realising on bills payable. And yet there
Is no gamsaying the fact, that a few large JobbiDg, com
mission and importing houses, find already opening to
them a trade greater in extent, and more sate and re
munerative than they have dono for years. The thorough
weeding out which w*u experienced among the “middle
bouses” last fall, very naturally has produced this re
call. And still the aggregate of trade cannot but be
moierate. It is conceded that stocks in the West and
Southwest must be light; but it Is also true, that what
ever the wants, the people in those sections can pur
chase but sparingly—must, in short, wear out their old
apparel. But it must be added, that under all these
difficulties, there is a steady, cheer! pi feeling abroad
confidence in the wealth and integrity of business men
it* being rapidly restored ; hopes that were chilled and
dormant are again being warmed into life and strength.
Stocks of nearly all kinds are quite full, more especial
ly of light cotton fabrics, linens and low woolens ; but
as the production and importation of these have, for
some months, been much restricted, no uneasiness is felt
on this account. For two months to come, at least, the
importation must be light, except of goods which are
wanted, and our own domestic manufacturers, aro, so
far as Cottons and Woolens are concerned, totally neg
lecting those fabrics now in stock, turning their attention
more to tee finer fabrics of Woolens and heavy Cottons,
the stockßof which are light, although as regards Wool
ens, in danger of being unduly increased. By tho close
of next week, tbe season will be fully opened.
Money. —There is little of interest to notice in money
matters this week. General business, as is usual at this
season is very dull, though there appears to be a little
more activity and firmness in stocks than during the pre
ceding week, yet nothing that approaches to a specula
tive spirit. It is almost impossible to place money In
the market, at even the present low rates, and large
amounts are laying idle in the hands of capitalists, with
out bringing in any return whatever. The market rate
on call is nominally four per cent, but therelare negotia
tions at one per cent, lower, and some of the commission
houses are refusing leans at even that, finding it impossi
ble to use their means to advantage. Prime paptr re
mains very scarce, and goes freely at four to five per
cent, as offered, and some considerable transactions are
reported on bank account at about tbe medium between
the two. Good names, but not so well known, range at
from five to seven per cent. There appears to be quite
a prevalent feeling in monetary circles that tbe season
of these low rates is gradually drawing to a close, and
that from the scarcity of foreign exchange we shall soon
have an export of the precious metals which will be felt
upon the market, and tend toward placing it once mere
in a position in which lender j will be enable to obtain a
more adequate return from their capital.
Exchange —The business in foreign exchange Las not
been very large for the steamer of to-day, but the mar
ket was firmly sustained throughout, and closes with a
disposition to hold for the outside rates. On London we
quote at 109491094 for bank aod bankers, and 10991091
for prime commercial signatures.
Freights —Du 11, without essential change In rates. To
Liverpool, Grain 495<L in bulk and bags; Flour Is 4*d.
91s. 6d.; Cotton 495 32d for compressed, and 3-16d. for
non-oompresaed.
From the New York Evening Post, of Thursday.
The news from Europe by the Africa continues unfa
vorable to commercial interests. An intelligent writer
says that there exists an nndefinable anxiety among the
leading merchants and bankers, and that American cor
porate credit is at a low estimate. The repudiation of
of municipalities continued to exert a bad influence. It
is fancied, too, that the financial troubles in the East In
dies are not entirely over, many losses not yet having
come to the surface.
The Stock market is rather more active to-day, and
tbe quotations generally show a rise of i to 1 per cent.
The principal business was in New York Central, Erie,
Chicago and Rock L and.
Eric closed ai yesterday’B price, but Galena and Bock
Island rose 4to 4 per cent. Michigan Southern prefer
red went up to 434- Michigan Central leaves off at 554 ;
Panama at 103, buyer 60 days.
The dealings in Railroad bonds and State stocks were
more active, but at former figures. La Crosse Land
Grants were an exoeption, these selling to the extent of
655,000 at a rise of ito 4 per cent. Illinois Central
bonds continue in favor, selling to-day at 89.
NASHVILLE, July 11.— Provisions— The Bacon mar
ket has been somewhat more animated this week than
for some time past, though it cannot be said that it is
brisk. Tbe receipts have been larger and the demand
better, without any change, however, in prices. Deal
ers are paying, from wagons, 6 cents for Shoulders, 7, 7$
98 cents for Hama, the latter figure for a very choice
article, and 849e4c. for Clear Sides.
There is very little demand for Lard, and we renew
our quotations of 9c. in whisky barrels, and 94 cents in
full bound packages.
Grain and Flour —The market for Wheat continues
steady at 65970 c. for Red, and 70975 c. for White.
A small lot of Tennessee White, of the new crop, sold
in Cincinnati on the oth at 81.10.
For Corn we hear of no demand, except for domestic
consumption. Dealers are asking 35940 c.
For Flour there is no export demand. We quote 84 00
94.50 as the ruling prices for Extra Family.
The reports from the Wheat crop confirm the opinion
we expressed last week that the deficiency in the crop
this year will not materiallv affect prices. From every
portion of the country we have favorable reports in ro
gard to tbe Corn crop. There is no indication of any
scarcity whatever of breadstuff's.
BALTIMORE, July 10, P. M.— Cofet —The market
ocDtlcces firm with an increased demand for cooaump
tion—especially for the better gradea of Rio—bat the
small stock and stiff rates demanded, restrict operations.

sellers obtained a slight advantage. The week’s busi

OBITUARY.
Died on the morning of the sth inst., near White
Plains, Greene county, Ga., Mrs. MARGARET ANN
ALFRIEND, wife es Mr. Benjamin C. Alfriend, in the
44th year of her age.
Died at Woodstock, Richmond county, on the 11th

Fever, Mrs. MARY A. B. DO* LE, consort of William
Doyle, and last surviving daughter of Gapt. William P
Beale.
Died In Newtqn coanty, Ga., on the 84th of June, of
TyphoiJ Fever, after an illness of twenty-two days,
JOSEPH M. MARKS, in his twenty-seventh year.
He was born in Warren county, aud moved with bis
parents to Newton county at an early age, where he re
sided with his widowed mother (bis father, tho late Ro
bert Marks, baviqg died some yeais since,) until his
death. He became a member of the Baptist Church
when a youth, in whoso communion he lived acceptably
until called away by death. He was a young man of no
ordinary promise, much beloved and respected by his
acquaintances and friends. He waa worthy in the seve
ral relations of life, and bid fair to oontinue a useful
member of society. His attachment to and affection tor
bis mother and sisters, to whom he was the chief stay
and support, was the subject of frequent remark. He
was the guardian counsellor and friend to them, man
aging the affairs of the family with prudence and sagaci
ty, and awakening commendation in ail who had know
ledge of his doings. His death, to his mother and sisters,
is a sad bereavement, which fails sorely upon them; but
their loss, which is Irreparable, we hope is his eternal
gain. His dying testimony was that bis Heavenly
Father had answered bis prayers, and that be was ready
to obey the summons, we are thus left to hope and be
lievo that his confidence and trust was strengthened in
his last moments, and that be died in peace with God,
and is eternally at rest A Fuund.
Died In DeKalb county, on the 30 h ult., of lufiamma*
tion of the Brain, MARGARET, daughter of Col. G.
and Mrs. M. Morris, aged two years and five months.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
MASTIO ROOFINO.
Flndlay’n Iron Works.-llaroß# March
185 H.—Messrs. Freeman & Roberts, and A. P
Cherry : —Gentlemen —You ask me for an expression us
my opinion in regard to the Mastio Roofing with which
you have recently covered the roof of my new dwelling
house, in this city. My opinion is that the Roofing in
question is superior to any other kind with which I am
acquainted. Its tightness is placed beyond tbe shadow
of a doubt—its elasticity adapting itself to all kinds of
weather.
The contraction and expansion of metal roofing in our
variable climate baa been found a most difficult matter
to keep tight. The property of the materials of which
tue Mastic Roofing is composed, are such, in my opinion,
as will insure durability as well as tightness ; otherwise
I would not have adopted its use in the present case.
Yours, very respectfully,
Robert Findlay.
A P. CHERRY, Proprietor.
