We learn from the Savannah Republi
can, that the Branoh front thin road lead
ing to Dawson, in Terrell county, has
been completed. The road was opened
for business on the 7th inst., and on the
22d, the people of Dawson and vicinity, ‘
will give a Barbecue, in honor of the nd

The High Water at the West.
A dispatch from St. Louis dated the
10th iuelant, says that, the river at that
city is falling at the rate of one inch an
hour, and that all the upper streams are
receding. Much of the country that lias
been inundated is now high and dry, but
much of the most fertile portion of the
valley of the Mississippi has been una- I
vailablc for cultivation the present season,
by reason of the overflow.
liaising the Sunken Ships.
Letters have been received in this city,
says the Boston Transcript, from Kebns
topol, dated May 24th, which report the
work of raising the sunken Russian fleet
progresses rapidly, and witli remarkable
success. A sixteen-gun vessel of wi r,
with over two hundred tons of mud in
her, had been raised whole, witli all her j
rigging and contents, and has since been \
repaired. Only one-fifth of the power of
the cnssotis was exerted, and there is no
doubt tlint the whole of tho sunken fleet
can bo raised. The company engaged in
the work is tho Marine Exploring Com
pany of Philadelphia.
Self Poaiculon.
A correspondent of I lie Lynchburg
Virginian, writing from New Market, 1
Jefferson county, Tenn., gives tho sub
joined item:
A lady near this place was bitten tiie
other day by a rattlesnake, after which
she undone her apron string urnl tied it
over the bite. She killed the snake, cut
off n piece and applied it to tho wound,
mid drank a quart of whisky. At last
accounts she was doing well. This was
some spunk.
We should say it was. In these times,
when whisky lias so much strychnine in
it, we beiicve we would rather risk the
snako bito than the quart of whisky.
The Franking Privilege.
The Mississippinn publishes some sta
tistics showing who used the franking
privilege in the last United States Senate.
Members from the slave States used 120,-
860 franking envelopes, and members
from the free States used 081,780. Doug
las, of Illinois, used 198,000; Bright, of
indiaua, 100,000, and Seward, of New
York, 08,000. Hunter, of Virginia, used
2,900; Mason, 2,700; Brown, of Missis
sippi, 10,000; Green, of Missouri, 1-4,-
000; Reid, of North Carolina, 200, and
Biggs, of the same State, only 100.
Thus it always is. The South pays tho
piper, and the North does all the danc
ing, or, in other words, the South pays
by far more than her proportion of the
expensos of the Government, and the
North gets largely more than her propor
tionable share of the benefits of it.
Important Derision.
We learn from our New York exchanges
that Judge Ingraham, of tho New York
Supreme Court, has decided, iu tho case
of the British Commercial Life Insurance
Company and the Commissioner of Texas,
that the moneys of a foreign corporation
are subject to tuxntiou, but that United
States stock is not. The ground of the
decision is that if States can lax United
States stock, such taxation will interfere
with the powers of llio General Govern
ment and impede or obstruct it in the
exercise of (lie powers and the adoption
of those measures which are necessary
for its government. The right to tax the
stock to any extent, must operate upon
the power to borrow, and have a sensible
influence on the contract. The tax on
Government stuck, it is said, is a tax
on the power to borrow money on the
credit of the United States, and eonse
quenily is repugnant to the Constitution.
—
lteinurknble Case.
Some few days since, while tho servants
of a Mr. Hobson, of Goochland, were en
gaged iu harvesting, eleven of them were
suddenly seized with convulsions, and
despite the skill of throe physicians, who
were immediately called iu. a valuable
man died, and the other sufferers barely
escaped with their lives. All the ser
vants were in perfect health until anew
barrel of whiskey was opened, and they
were allowed to take each one drink
therefrom. The symptoms were of such
au alarming and violent character that
their illness is believed to have been pro
duced by the whiskey, which is generally
believed to have contained a large quan
tity of strychnine. The Richmond Dis
patch understands the liquor is to he una
iyzed by a competent chemist, when its
poisonous properties, if it possess any,
will be ascertained. If it should, the
discovery will prove a “dead shot” to
whisky hereafter; for the words of the
tong, “there’s death in the cup” will he
verified.— Petersburg (Fit) Express.
Whisky drinkers hereabouts had better
keep a sharp look out for the poisoned
whisky, as some of it might find its way
here. The sater plan, therefore, will be
not to drink any whisky at all, and then
there will be no danger of being poisoned
by it.
Texas Items.
The Indinnola Courier announces that
the SIOO,OOO of stock, necessary to be
taken in order to au organization of the
Indianola Hail Road Company, has all
been subscribed, and the required 5 per
cent, paid in.
The Houston Telegraph, of Gie fith,
announces the receipt of au open cotton
boll from the plantation of Col. Groce, of
Austin county.
The Gonzalez Inquirer, of tho 3d fust.,
says :—The Rev. A. Davidson, living on
the opposite side of the river, has about
one hundred acres of the Charleston va
riety of Sea Island cotton that is doing
as well as the short staple. It was planted
about the Ist of May, and is already
half thigh high, aud beginning to bloom.
It is the same variety that brought 46
cents per pound two years ago. His
present prospects for a heavy yield are
highly encouraging.
Forelgyi Count* ahd Impostors.
There has been, ever since we can
recollect, a mania for foreign Counts,
Marquises, kc., and many have been tbn
instances in which confiding girls nnd am
bitious mammas have been most shame
fully deluded by the most consummate
scoundrels and impostors. A fancy bar
her, a flash coachman, or un impudent (
arid insinuating lackey, can come over to j
America and by practicing bis arts and ,
putting on foreign airs, and boasting j
largely of his landed estates arid heredi
tary titles, can captivate the heart ol ul
most any simpering and sentimental
damsel, and she will either consummate
! her folly by eloping witli the pretentious
foreigner, or she will wheedle her equally
foolish and duped parents into a consent
j into her union. This is an increasing j
| evil in our country, nnd some means j
should be taken to suppress it. The edi- j
tor of tho Washington States in speaking
upon this subject, and especially in ref
; crcnce to the recent difficulty between
j Corcoran, the millionaire banker, and the
j big whiskered young Spaniard, very just
; ly and sensibly remarks:
“W’e regret that such things should
find their way into the public press ; tint
until some of these foreign •popinjays’
can feel the ‘stirig of wounded honor’
by the application of a good stout cow
hide nt the hands of outraged fathers,
instead of being courted nnd toadied by
them iu the first instance, such scandal
as is now being circulated through the
country iu connection with the domestic
I troubles of two wealthy and respectable
I families will continue to exist. When
I the society of such adventurers as De
Wiihorst, Capt. De Riviere, and others of
the same sort—people that speak broken
English nnd have a foreign title, real or
fictitious—is courted, and the most lavi“h
hospitality extended to win their pres
ence, in preference to that of talented
and upright young fellow-countrymen,
we cannot expect anything better.”

.Imlge CninplM'U nt Montgomery.
The Confederation of yesterday con
tains the correspondence between a por
tion of tho citizens of Montgomery and
Judge John A. Campbell, of the United
States Supreme Court, in reference to tho
tender of a public dinner by the former
to the latter The list of siguers is not
overwhelmingly alarming as to numbers
or talent, and among all the names, we
notice, so far as our knowledge of the
men extends, only those of the Fitzpat
rick, or submission wing of the Democ
racy. Os course this was expected of
them, and if Judge Campbell can derive
any comfort or consolation from their
demonstration lie is as easily to be flat
tered as a vain miss of sixteen. It will
not do, however. Judge Campbell is po
litically dead at tiie South, and it is well
that his present office is not dependent
upon tiie will of the people, or lie would
be ousted from it on tiie very first oppor
tunity. Verily, politics makes strange
bed-fellows. A few months ago Judge
Campbell was considered the very em
bodiment of Southern rights in Alabama,
and some of tlio-e who now laud him to
the skies then thought him but little bet
ter than a traitor to his country. Wo be
lieve now they only love the treason of
his recent course in regard to Walker,
while they utterly hate and contemn the
traitor.

2efler from Capt. Marry.
The following interesting letter, des
criptive of his journey from New Mexico
to Camp Scott, lias been received nttlie
War Department from Capt. Marcy :
Casio Scott, Utah, June 10, ’SB.
Majob—ln comformity with tho ilirtc- |
tious of the General commanding, I have
the honor to submit tiie following memo
randum of that portion of the route I tra
veled on my return from Mexico, lying ,
between the crossing of the North Fork of \
tho I’latto and Green rivers. This route
strikes the Platte upon tho Cherokee trail, 1
about two miles about Bryan’s Crossing,
and is decidedly preferable, for the rea
son that tiie bluff's upon the East side are
much lower, and the approach much more
shallow at the Cherokee Crossing. It
was, when 1 passed, about seventy yards
wide and four feet deep—was rising, and
1 dare say it is now above a fording stage.
We left a flat boat upon the high bank on
the West side, which lias sufficient capa
city to carry the largest wagon, with its
load.
Good grass and wood are abundant
here. From Hie Platte the road passes
over a rolling country, without grass, un
til it strikes a branch of Sage Creek (12 j
miles,) where there is a limited supply, j
Sage is found everywhere along the road, \
and constitutes the only fuel between the
Platte and Green rivers. Camping places
may be found upon all the three branches j
of Sage Creek, but the grass is rather j
scarce for a large number of animals.—
Bryan’s road passes up the most Westerly
branch and leaves our route.
The first camping place after passing
Sage Creek is upon a small branch run
ning to the East, thirteen miles from
Sage Creek. There is a sparse growth
of bunch grass near the stream, tint two
miles further upon the old road, there is
a spring branch, along tiie borders of
which there is a good supply of excellent
grass. Following down the branch, about
a mile below tlie crossing into a cauon,
there is a iarge spring.
Our train leaves the emigrant road at
this place, and bears to the left around
tiie mountains, passing over a very bar
ren section for ten miles, when it enters
a valley, through which runs a small
creek, upon which we found very good
grass. The water here is sweet and pal
atable.
Our next day’s march was over firm
ground, but without water, until we ar
rived near camp. Here wo found some
brackish ponds of muddy water, which, 1
was informed by our guide, can always
lie depended upon in tiie dryest season.
Tiie grass is abundant and good in the
bills to the Nortli of these ponds. We
again intersected Evans’ trail at this
point. It makes a very great bend to
the North around the mountains, and our
guides, who have traveled both, ate of
opinion that our road is some fifty miles
shorter.
From thence we follow Evans’ road,
passing two points at about three and
eight miles from our last camp, aud en
camped on the Eastern border of an ex
tensive flat, where there are several ponds
of brackish water, with good grass on the
adjoining hills. Indeed, in all the hills
upon this part of the road, there is abun
dance of grass.
The flat is destitute of grass, with a red
clay soil, which was firm aud smooth
when 1 passed it, but would probably
become soft and boggy iu a wet season.—
It is six miles across this flat by the road,
and there are several pouds of waternear
the Western border, with good grass
near.
From thenco to tiie next water the dis
tance is fifteen miles. This is a small
spring branch that runs into Bitter
Creek, and at the head it lias sufficient
water for the largest government trains.
The water is slightly brackish, but quite
wholesome. ,
Our route strikes Bitter Creek at the
mouth of this creek, eight miles from its
sources, thence down tiie right bank of
Bitter Creek, four miles to our camp.
Bitter Creek is a narrow and deep
stream, with high abrupt clay banks,
making it very difficult to cross or ap
proach with animals. The water is brack
ish, init animals drink it eagerly. There
are but lew places on the creek bottom
where any grass is seen, and it is only
here and there that it can bo fouud on
tiie adjacent hills.
Our camp near the Rocky bluffs, that
line tiie creek, is the last accessible
grass until reaching a low range of grassy
hills, which slope down to the creek on
Hie opposite side. Here there i3 a good
crossing for animals, and by camping at
this place the best grass would be secur
ed. From thence to our camp is seven
teen miles along tiie bank of the creek.—
Here we found only tolerable grass in the
hills ou the south side of the creek.
There is a fine sulphur spriug near the
road, at the point where we leave the
creek. Thence our road passes round
hills, and at four miles crosses two small
spring branches, which issue from very
elevated hills upon the right. The water
from these springs is excellent, and the
grass here cannot be surpassed. Tiie
road from thence turns again into the
valley of Bitter Creek, which it follows
to its confluence with the Green River.
Bitter Creek is enclosed upon both
sides by very elevated bluffs, that are cut
up into numerous canons nnd arroyns,
rendering it almost impracticable to pass
with wagons, except directly upon the
North bank, where the road already runs.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient
servant. R. B. Mabcy,
Captain Fifth Infantry.

An Invaluable Remedy.— When Dr.
liragg Hist commenced expeiimcnting in the pro
duction of this Invaluable remedy, now so gener
ally known as the “Arctic Liniment,” he little
dreamed of the brilliant success destined to crown
his labor. His only idea was to produce a lini
ment for the bcncHt of the Arctic explorers under
Dr. Kane, intended exclusively for their use, and
adapted to thecureuf all those diseases incident to
their adventurous life. Such, however, were found
to lie the merits of the preparation, that Dr.
Bragg felt It his duty to try its virtues in other
latitudes. Tho result has been most happy. Long
continued cases of Rheumatism, which had been
given up by numerous physicians, yielded at once
to its curative properties. The most agonizing
cases of Neuralgia, Paralysis and Gout were re
lieved in au incredibly brief period of time; and iu
short, in all diseases where liniments are proper to
he used, Bragg’s Arctic Liniment has proved
Itself invincible.
