Printer Wanted
An experienced printer in the Job Depart
ment, in wanted at thin office. His habits ot
sobriety must be above suspicion.
The Pork Prospect.
The Maii says Pork is held at 8c hog round
in Montgomery. In this city it is Bto 9c and
scarce. In Chattanooga it is selling at 5} to
lie. These are rather tall figures considering
the large supply of Dacon in the country.
Incendiaries at Work-
We learn from the Advertiser that on Sat
urday night last, as Mr. JaineH Farley of the
Hanking House of John Henley & Cos., in
Montgomery, was entering his promises, on
his returning home from business, a suspicious
fellow leaped the fenco and made his way pre
cipitately off, Farley firing at him in the mean
time, and at the same time another scondrel
incontinently vamosed from the premises of
Bam Swan, serose the street, also making his
way off, as fast as his legs could carry him.
Developments prove that these scoundrels had
been attemping to fire the premises of Farley
and Swan, as oombustible materials, together
with matches, wore found both under the
dwelling of the former and the stable of the
latter. Their object doubtless was to take ad
vantage of the confusion incideut to their in
tended incendiarism, and break into the Hank
ing House of John Henly & Cos., and the Lot
tery Office of Sam Swan. The combustibles
underneath of Swan’s stable had already been
ignited, but had fortunately gone out.
It is not known whether theso incendiaries
were white men or negroes. Mr. Farley in
forms us, however, that the foot-prints loft by
the one on his premises wero those of a “gen
teel boot,” which proves, to our mind, that
white inon were engaged in the work.
Projected Rival of the ‘‘Times.”
A meeting for the purpose of establishing a
newspaper to rival the London Times, has been
held in England; and a movement started to
raise a paid up capital of two and a half mil
lions of dollars for the purpose. The pro
ject was inaugurated by several clergymen who
take exception to the theological character of
the Times; and it is said that fifty thousand
dollars of the stock has already been subscrib
ed. Newspapers established to compete with,
or break down, existing journals seldom suc
ceed, eveu in living long, to say nothing of ac
complishing their object.
A Remedy for Sprains.
A friend has handed to us, says the Buffalo
Republic, the following recipe for sprains, the
publication of which, if it be as good as he
deems it, may be productive of benefit to some
of our readers: One pint of soft soap, (coun
try preferred,) one pint of whiskey; mix and
boil them until the quantity is reduced to
about one pint. It will then be of the consis
tency of a piaster salve. Take a thick cloth,
cotton or liuen, sufficiently large to cover the
parts injured, spread the mixture, and sprin
kle the same with black pepper. Apply this,
and let it remain for forty-eight hours. A
cure, in nine out of ton cases, will be effected.
Probable Origin of the Times Hoax.
A correspondent of the Savannah Republi
can furnishes the following probable solution
of the Arrowsmith Hoax on the Loudon Times,
After detailing hisimpreßsion that Mr. Arrow
smith intended his publication as a hoax, the
correspondent says:
Suspecting one of the Mail Ageuts between
Augusta and Columbus, of having a hand in
it, aud meeting him shortly after the appear
ance of the story in the American papers, I
acquainted him of my suspicion, when ho stated
to me that he had amused an indie hour in fa
bricating the story, and getting into conversa
tion with an Englishman who was passing over
the route, on the subject of Southern atroci
ties, read him his effort.
The traveler requested the copy of the sto
ry, which he gave him, without suspicion of the
use that would be mado of it, and you may
imagine his astonishment, as well as amuse
ment, when it made its appearauce in the
Times, as a true aud genuine scene, as witnes
sed by the acute Mr. Arrowßmith, on his pas
sage from Macon to Augusta.
A Tiger Story.
A gentleman writing to the Savannah Geor
gian, from Mill Grove, St. John’s River, Flo
rida, tells the following story:
A few weeks since a friend and neighbor of
mine, Capt. Samuel Somers, with gun and dog,
strolled out, not far from his residence, for a
hunt.. His dog pretty soon started, and after
following a whilo he discovered two half grown
tigers up a tree, which he shot and killed.
Then looking a little farther on lie perceived
the old tigress also up a tree. To use his owu
expression, “she looked like a cow.” Being
u liuuter of undaunted spirit, he advanced un
til the hugh creature began crouching, with
gleaming eyes aud bared teeth, preparing to
make a spring ou him. At this critical mo
ment he discharged bis piece, wounding her
badly in the head. She began a hurried de
scent, uttering all tho while tho most awful
and terrific screams he ever heard. When
within a few feet of tho grouud, he lodged the
contents of a second barrel in her back, which
ended her further movements. He decribes
her screams as resembling those of a terrified
woman, only much louder and shriller. He
said they caused his hair to stand on end.
Having dispatched her, he pursued his dog,
who was all this time chasing the old male ti
ger. lie come in sight of him several times,
but owing to some disadvantageous circum
stances he would not shoot, fearing lie would
wound him, and in that case he knew he would
lose his dog, and perhaps his own life. He de
scribes him as being much larger than tho ti
gress. As night was fast setting in, he went
home and returned in the morning to take off
the skins of the slain.
Beside them was the bod of the old tiger
where he had spent the night with his dead
family.
The tigress measured eleveu feet six inches
lrom the end of her tail to the tip of her nose,
aud it is supposed would have weighed from
three to four hundred pounds.

for the murder of Poole, in New York, have

The President’s Message.
The following notice of the views of Presi
dent Pierce on the Missouri Cempromise, we.
take from the Hnltimore Clipper, the organ of
the American party iu that city :
Nearly one half of this official paper is occu
pied with a statement of the principles which
were settled, as the President supposes, by the
result of the late Presidential election, and in
the discussion of the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise and the affairs of Kansas. In ull
that he says, in reference to the danger of es
tablishing sectional parties, we heartily concur;
but we do not sanction the assertion of the
President relative to the uuconstitutionulity of
the Missouri Compromise. That Compromise
carried out the principle of the ordinance of
1787, —a principle approved by Washington,
Jefferson, and all the great statesmen of the
country. The Missouri Compromise is, iu fact,
now in force in Texas, but is a dead letter
if the act be unconstitutional, it seems to
he somewhat surprising that among the great
lawyers who have passed the Missouri Compro
mise in review for more than thirty years past,
none should have been able to discover the un
constitutionality of the act, until the present
administration came into power—nor would
that discovery have yet been made had it not
been supposed by aspirants for the l’rcsideucy,
that the repeal of that act would increase
their chance of receiving the Cincinnati nom
ination. If the act were unconstitutional, aud
repealed in consequence of its being so, why
is the Compromise in Texas permitted to stand.
The fact is, that the uctive part taken by Pre
sident Pierce in procuring the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, made it incumbent upon
him to offer some justification for the act—and
hence the effort to prove it to be unconstitu
tional.
The act did no iujustice to any one or sec
tion, while its repeal has originated sectional
organizations, which, if continued, will, in all
probability, disturb the harmony of the coun
try. Ambition directed the repeal, and it is
not in the power of the President to escape
his portion of the responsibility for whatever
may be the result. He censures, and very
justly, the interference of abolition fanatics
with the institutions of the South; but he
should remember that it was his act, that this
sectional feeling was revived and brought into
its present offensive and aggressive action.
Had he fulfilled his premise of discountenanc
ing slavery agitation, the country would have
remained at peace, and slave owners would
have continued to recover their fugitive slaves.
To him and to Senator Douglas is the country
indebted for tho agitation and civil war which
have prevailed in the efforts to settle Kansas.
Amidst the distractions occasioned by oppos
ing factions, the country has continued to
prosper aud grow rich—nor can this prosperi
ty be long interrupted even by the errors of
those who may be appointed governor. If it
could, we should have had a rapid retrogrado
movement during the administration which
will close on the fourth of March next.
The Savannah Republican, a prominent
Amorican paper in Georgia, thus speaks of the
same portion of the message. Verily, the lat
itude of Baltimore seems to be infectious.
“We have little comment to make on this
document, yet we feel that it would be unjust,
both to the author and our own sentiments,
did we fail to offor some public expression of
our approval of its sound and patriotic doc
trines, and the very salutary recommendations
it contains iu reference to matters appertain
ing to the general welfare. Upon the great
question that has so long divided tho country
—the constitutional rightsof the slave holding
States—the message cf Mr. Pierce is all that
any honest man of the South can demand or
desire. It sustains every position for which
the South has been contending in her strug
gles with a demeuted anti-slavery fanaticism
at the North, and by an argument thoroughly
national and based upon the principles of the
Constitution. Asa Southern man, we desire
to offer our sincere thanks to the President for
his able and manly vindication of the equality
of the States, aud of our own section against
the charge of aggression upon our Northern
brethren, either as regards their rights or their
feelings. Coming, as this message does, from
a Northern man who has risen, under the im
pulse of a uoblo patriotism, above the preju
dices of education and the public sentiment of
his people, it is earnestly to be hoped that his
voice may be heard above the tumultuous ele
ments, and that reason and justice, so long de
throned, may be restored once more to their
legitimate position and power.
Notwithstanding a difference of opinion
among our own political friends on thesubjcct,
we have always advocated the opiuion advanc
ed by the President, that the refusal of the
North, in 1850, to recognize and adopt the
Missouri Compromise in settlement of the
slavery agitation of that day, destroyed its
power aud influence as a compromise, and re
lieved the South from all obligation to regard
it as a solemn compact, binding iu good faith,
and perpetual in its oporation. Tho Missouri
Compromise had always been regarded ns a
sacred compact by the South ; aud when the
dangers that grew out of the Mexican acquisi
tion stared us in the face aud threatened the
overthrow of our beloved Union, this same
Compromise was held up by the most ultra
Southern Convention that ever assembled, as
tho measure of our rights and the rule of duty
for the North. It was indigently rejected and
spurned. Notwithstanding this, the South
agreed to the settlement that followed ; and
now, when we simply come forward and assert
the samo principle that was forced upon us in
1850, wo are charged with slavery aggression
and a breach of faith. IVe have no room to
enlarge upon that portion of the message which
treats this subject so much in detail, and con
tent ourselves with a simple reiteration of our
approval of its sentiments, and thanks to the
man who was honest and bold enough to pro
claim them.”
A Wedding Epidemic.
The New York Mirror remarks: Matrimo
ny, just now, seems to be prevailing in this
city to an alarming extent. The fashionable
quarters, about the _ middle of the week,
(Wednesdays and Thursdays beiug marrying
days,) are blocked up with carriage*: and
bridal cards, cake* and boquets arc flying
about as thick as snow flakes. The jewelry
business, if one may judge from the display of
bridal presents, must be flourishing beyond
precedent; aud if matrimony opens the gate
of Paradise, New York contains a good many
happy couples about theso times. One of the
largest and most splendid of theso nuptial fes
tivals came off’ on Wednesday, in 22d street,
the bride beiug the only daughter of one of
our wealthiest merchants, and the happy
bridegroom a young and rising member of the
bar of this city. It is estimated that the doors
of not less than one thousand carriages were
opened and shut by Brown, to let out and in
the guests ; and the jam of beauty and fash
ion can be better imagined than described.
An effort is making in Rome, in this State,
to organise a company to engage largely in the
production of iron from the ore, established
rolling mills, &c.
A San Francisco Auctioneer.
The reporter of the San Francisco News
furnishes that paper with the following report
of a speech made by u California auctioneer:
‘Ladies aud gentlemen, I now have the hon
or of putting up a fine pocket handkerchief: a
yard wide, a yard long, and almost a yard
thick; oue hulf cotton, Sud t’other half cot
ton too; beautifully printed with stars and
stripes on one side, and the stripes and stars
on t’other. It will wipe dust from the eyes
so completely as to be death to demagogues,
aud make politics as bud a business us printing
papers. Its great length, breadth and thick
ness, together with its dark color, will enable
it to hide dirt, and never need washing. Go
ing at one dollar! seventy-five cents? fifty
cents ? twenty five cents ? one bit ? Nobody
want! Oh ! thank you, sir !
Next, gentlemen—for the ladies won’t be
permitted to bid on this article—is a real si
mou pure tempered, highly polished, keen
edged Sheffield razor; brun spaukin new;
never opened before to sunlight, moonlight,
starlight, daylight or gaslight; sharp enough
to shave a lawyer, or cut a disagreeable ao
quaintaintanee or poor relation; handle of
buckhorn, with all the rivets but two at the
ends pure gold. Who will give two dollars?
one dollar ? half a dollar ? Why.yelongbeard
ed, dirty faced reprobates, with not room on
your phixzies for a Chinese woman to kiss, I’m
offering you a bargain at half a dollar! Well,
I will throw in this strop at half a dollar ! ra
zor and strop ! a recent patent; two rubs up
on it will sharpen the city attorney ; all for
four bits; and a piece of soap, sweeter than
roses, lathers better than a schoolmaster, and
strong enough to wash all the stains from a
California politicians science, all for four bits.
Why, you have only to put the razor strop and
soup under your pillow at night and wake up
in the morning clean shaved. Won’t anybody
give two bits, then, for the lot? Ikucw 1 would
sell ’em.
“Next, ladies and gentlemen, I offer three
pairs socks, hose, stockings or half hose, just
as you’re mind to call them, knit by a machine
made on purpose, out of cotton wool. Tho
man that buys these will be enabled to walk,
till he gets tired; and, provided his boots are
high enough, needn’t have any corns; the legs
are long as bills against the corporation, and
as thick as tho heads of the members of the
legislature. Who wants ’em at one half dol
lar? Thank-ee madam, the mouey.
“Next, I offer you a pair of boots; made
especially for San Francisco, with heels long
enough to raise a man up to the Hoadley
grades, and nails to insure against being car
ried over by a land slide ; legs wide enough
to carry two revolvers and a bowie knife, and
the upper of the very best horse leather. A
man in these boots can move about as easy as
the State Capitol. Win. says twenty dollars ?
All the tax payers ought to buy a pair to kick
tho council with ; everybody ought to have a
pair to kick the legislature with, and they will
be found of assistance to kicking the bucket,
especially if somebody should kick at being
kicked. Ten dollars for legs, upper and soles!
with souls, and miserable souls at that, are
bringing twenty thousand dollars in Sacra
mento ! Ten dollars ! ten dollars! gone at ten
dollars!
“ Next is something that you ought to have,
gentlemen, a lot of good gallowses—sometimes
called suspenders. 1 know that some of you
will be furnished at the State’s expense, but
you can’t tell which one, so buy where they’re
cheap. All that deserve hanging are not
supplied with a gallows ; if so. there would be
nobody to make laws, condemn criminals, or
hang culprits until anew election. Made of
pure gum-elastic—stretch like a judge’s con
science, and last as loug as a California office
holder will steal; buckets of pure iron, and
warranted to hold so tight that no man’s wife
can rob him of the breeches ; are, in short,
as strong, as good, as perfect, as effectual, and
as bona fide as the ordinance against Chinese
shops on Dupont street —gone at twenty-five
cents.”
A Speech from Mr. Buchanan.
We learn from the Lancaster Express that
tho students of Franklin and Marshall College
paid a visit to Wheatland on Friday last, to pay
their respects to the President elect. Mr. W.
A. Duncan delivered a Congratulatory address,
to which Mr. Buchnnuu replied. After allud
ing to college life, anil the duties of young men,
tho Express says—
Mr. Buchanan remarked that his election
had been alluded to, and he might be expected
to say something on that point. He had been
elected to the high and responsible office of
President, and he thanked them most sincerely
for their congratulations; but whether the
event would prove to be a matter of congratu
lation, time alone can determine. Without
saying which party was right or which wrong,
the fears of the “father of his country” had at
last been realized, and we now behold a sectional
part}', one portion of our Union arrayed in pol
itical hostility to the other. The object of his
administration would be to destroy any section
al party—North or South—aud harmonize
all sections of the Union under a national and
conservative government, as it was fifty years
ago. Unless this be done, the time may come
when theße sectional animosities which now
unhappily oxist, may break up the fairest and
most perfect form of government the sun ever
shone upon. But he trusted that tho same
Power which had watched over aud preserved
us in the past, will continue to smile upon us
aud make us a prosperous, united and happy
people. In conclusion, he said, that if he could
in any degree, be the honored instrument of
allaying this sectional excitement and restoring
the government to the principles and policy of
the fathers, he would then feel that he had not
assumed the arduous duties of the office iu
vaiu.
Bold Attempt at Horse Stealing.
A young man by the name of Ileygood, wa3
seized with such a fancy for Capt. James For
syth's large gray horse, that he took him from
the rack iu this place one day last week and
attempted to muko hisescapo with him to parts
unknown ; but the youth was overhauled about
20 miles from town and brought back, and af
ter an examination before Justice Thompson,
was committed to jail. Wo learn that the
young man confessed to his pursuers that lie
had honestly stolen the horse. — Dalton Times.
Profitable Venture.
One day last week a gentleman of New Smyr
na, Florida, arrived at this port with 20,000
Oranges, which he disposed of at S4O per
thousand. These Oranges were raised by his
owu labor, unasssisted by any one,—and from
an orchard of trees only four years old. St.
Augustine was formerly celebrated for the
abundance of Oranges grown in its vicinity,
but a few years ago a severe frost killed near
ly all the trees, so that the raising of this lus
cious fruit has been confined to places in the
more Southern part of the State.
Rare Generosity.
A gentleman who died in Botetout county,
Va., a few months ago, devised his entire pro
perty, estimated at SIO,OOO, to one of his sis
ters. After his death that sister destroyed
his will and divided his property equally be
tween a brother and sister aud herself. A
ran and noble exhibition of the unselfishness
of a si <tor's love.

FALL OF THE LEAF.
Withered leaves are arouud us falling
To the wintry blast they bend.
Whispering in accents mournful,
“All things beautiful must end.’’
Nature, robbed of nil her glory,
bends unwillingly her head,
Like a broken-hearted mother
Weeping o’er her cherished dead!
Ah, those leaves once green and lovely,
Oft I hailed them as my friends;
Now no pieusing thought they bring me,
To my heart no beauty lends.
Yes! they bring a sweet remembrance
Os the happy, happy past}
They are types to me, aud shadows
Os eternal life nt last.
Withered leaves are round us fulling,
To the faintest breeze they bend;
Yet their fulling is u token
That this life is not our end.
Yes 1 on every leaf is written,
In my mind u holy thought;
Yes! the hope of life upspringiug
From the grave by them is brought.
Though they’re withered now and fulling
Down to earth their native tomb,
Yet the parent stalk will flourish,
And with fresh leaves bud and bloom.
So our mortal frames will perish,
Like the falling leaves aud sere ;
Y'et again will bloom and flourish,
In a bright eternal sphere.
The Greatest Discovery of the Age.
It seldom occurs that we notice, under any
circumstances, patent medicines, restoratives,
or any thing of the kind, for we have a preju
dice against most of them. But candor com
pels us to invite attention to tho advertisement
of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative. We are
too juvenile to require any thing of the kind,
but some instances of its use have come to our
knowledge which almost assure us that it is a
sovereign remedy against the hair becoming
prematurely gray. It is not a “Hair Dye;”
but upon its application, as directed, the effect
is produced on the skin, which brings out the
original native colored hair, without stiffness,
and gives it a glossy and natural appearance.
We have seen persons who have used it, and
they are much pleased with it. Examine the
advertisement. —Missouri Republican.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
lUIE whole country is flooded with Counterfeit and
. Imitation Schnapps. Tho public should be careful
to purchase only the genuine article, manufactured and
imported by Udolpho Wolfe, which lias the name of the
manufacturer on tho Bottle, Cork and Label.
For sale by all respectable Grocers and Druggists.

UDOLPHO WOLFE,
22 Beaver St., New York.
F’rom the New York Mercury.
Fraudulent Imitations of Superior Commodities,
Among the many dishonesties of trado which the mor
al sense of the community is called upon to suppress, we
would particularly notice a most pernicious and in famous
practice adopted by unscrupulous dealersof imitating and
counterfeiting the exterior appearance and precautionary
labels of popular drugs, inedicamenta, and other articles
of personal consumption, and thus, by seizing upon the
well acquired reputation of an enterprising trader, pal
ming off most destructive and worthless compounds, to
the sore detriment not only of the consumer, but to the
character of the man who has expended thousands of
dollars in bringing the genuine article into esteem and
demand. These petty larceny thieves are the pest of all
honorable dealers and traders, and the trade is as much
highway robbery ns the violent appropriation of their
neighbor’s purse ; in fact they are beneath the burglar
and highwayman in dignity—for theso latter felons ex
hibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise dis
tinguishing tiie mercantile assassin who stabs in tiie
dark. And ought they not be rewarded with a punish
ment commensurate with the cowardice of their crime ?
We were led to these remarks by accidentally observing
a spurious counterfeit of Udolpho Wolfe’s Scheidam
Schnapps. The labels were imitated perfectly, with the
slight addition of a few letters to plead technical avoid
ance of the law against counterfeiting; the bottles were
very similar, and every thing carefully prepare! to im
pose upon a careless purchaser. Now is not the man who
perpetrated this fraud, a felon a robber? Assuredly he
is; fiir, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring
liis genuine imported schnapps into popular demand,
that demand may be justly considered a part of his cap
ital in trade, and a fellow stealing <1 part of his reputa
tion is as much of a thief as if lie had stolen a barrel of
his schnapps in bulk. And to this crime lie adds a fur
ther one of defrauding tiie community by giving them a
ruinous article for the money they intended to expend
for a commodity in which they had confidence. Aud,
further, every man who participates indirectly in the
fraud, by selling spurious articles is as much of an offen
der as the principal who planned the imposition. Tue
remedy of Mr. Wolfe should lie in iiis holdiug all concer
ned up to the contempt of tiie community thusswiudled
by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon by
their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe
will obtain names, not only of tbe concoctors of theso
counterfeits, hilt of every man offering them for sale, and
then publish them to the world ; for his own reputation
and the health of the community demand that all parties
should he nailed to the pillory of popular execration.
From the New York Dispatch.
AN INFAMOUS BUSINESS.
When an enterprising man strikes out anew business,
to the establishment of which he gives his industry, time,
talents and pecuniary means, can anything be more con
temptible than to have another steal in, and. under spe
cious pretexts, hold out to the public an inferior article,
and endeavor to obtain their patronage? Pray, what
difference is there, so far as the honesty of the thing is
concerned, betweed purloining the business by which a
citizen hopes to make his bread and stealing the bread
itself? A common thief, if he takes without leave, how
ever hungry, a loaf of bread from a baker’s shop, is appre
hended and condemned to the penitentiary for daring in
a surreptatious manner to appease his appetite; but put
a respectable looking coat on his back and a few dollars
in his pocket, and he may, with impunity, nay, even
with the applause of his felUws, by knavery, forgery or
other infamous means, take the business of an honest
man from him, and go unscathed of justice. All this is
wrong. Some years since a gentleman of this city (Udol
plio Wolte) introduced to the citizens of the United States
a medicated article of gin, which was highly approved by
professional gentlemen as a superior tonic and deobstru
ent, and tlie knowledge of which he, by advertisement
and otherwise, dissouiinated throughout the country.
So soon as tricksters, who pass in the business commu
nity as honest men, saw that Mr. Wolfe was likely to
have handsome returns for the time and money which
he had expended, they set about forging his labels and
palming off upon the people detestable Hnd poisonous
compounds which they have the hardihood to call “Schie
dam Sehnapps.” In some instances they have gone so
far ns to put Wolfe’s name to their villainous liquids.—
As this horde are growing bold in their rascalities, it is
time the public in tow n and country were put upon their
guard. Consumers should be sure that they purchase
the genuine article, or else their health may lie irrepara
bly injured by using the horrible stuff that unscrupulous
men, because they can buy It cheap, will offer as the gen
uine article. I’nre Scheidam Schnapps can only bo ob
tained at the stores of respectable merchants and drug,
gists, in town and country, and at the establishment of
Udolpho Wolfe, Nos. 18, HO and 22 Beaver Street, in this
city, where it is gotten up exclusively. We think it a du
ty which Mr. t\ olfe owes to himself and the community
to publish, liy name, the rascals who are thus attempting
to defraud both him and those who would be liis custo
mers. He should not permit his modesty to hold him
hark from muking so righteous an expose.
