Picked Up
We learn from the Dalton Times, that
a youth 10 or 17 years of age, by the
gome of Snow, was arrested on Tuesday
last, on the ebargo of placing obstruc
tions on the track of the State lload, and
after examination, was committed to jail
to await his trial beforo the Superior
Court.
New Discovery.
The Salem (Ala.) Era, mentions the
discovery of springs of mineral water on
the land of Judge Shotwell, about three
miles east of the village of Salem, and
near to the track of the Opelika Branch
Rail Road. Tho quality of tho water is
not stated.

The Paraguay Expedition.
Tbo National Intelligencer learns that
the able and gallant ollicor, Commodore
Shubrick, has been selected by the Navy
Department to command the expedition
to Paraguay, and will proceed to his sta
tion in the Sabino frigate, now ready for
sea at New Pork. Commodoro S. will
have a squadron of twelve or fourteen
vessels under his command, with a con
siderable force of marines.
Mr. ltogtri.
The National Intelligencer says that a
recent letter from Romo speaks of tho
exhibition of Mr. Rogers, (the artist en
gaged to construct the remaining statues
of the IVasliinton monument) of the spir
ited series of reliefs for the portals of tho
Capitol at Washington, illustrating the
life of Columbus with allegoric and his
toric statues in niches and arabrusquo re
liefs, introducing much of symbolism in
the intervening spaces—the whole an in
teresting, original, and finely-imagined
monumental work.
Ocean Steamers.
It is twenty years since the practica
bility of ocean steam navigation was
demonstrated by the arrival of the Sirius,
(April 1838,) in Now York, from Cork,
making tho passage in eighteen days.—
Sho was a steamer of only 700 tons and
320 horse power. On tho same day, the
Great Western, 1340 tons, arrived in New
York, from Bristol, having made the pas
sngo in fourteen and a half days. Steam
ships now arrive every day in the harbor
of New York, and thoro aro ten a day on
the ocean, bound to the United States,
from different points of Europe.

Fatal Accidents.
Wo learn from the Forsyth Educational
Journal that Mrs. Barns, on returning
from the funeral of Rev. James Carter,
near the ludian Springs, on the 2f>tli
ult., was thrown from her buggy, and
killed instantly. Sho had a stnnll child
in her lap at tho time, that escaped un
hurt.
Wo learn from tho sauio paper that
Mr. William Bostick, while riding a raco
on Saturday week last, was thrown from
his horse and instantly killed.
From Oregon and Washington we learn
that the movement to tho gold region
continued at high tide, largo bands, woll
armed and mounted, forcing their way
through tho hostile Indian district.—
Fresh evidences of hostility have been
furnished by the savages. In his pre
parations for prosecuting the war, Major
Oen. Clarke is unremitting, aud it was
anticipated that immediately after the
arrival of the reinforcements sent front
Now York, he would take the lield. The
troops in the meantime were moving up
the river to rendezvous at Fort Walla
Walla.
Health of Sew York.
We learn from the report of tho New
York City Inspector, as published in the
Herald, that there wereCs7 deaths in the
city during tho past week—an tucrcase
of 19 as compared with tho mortality of
the week previous, and 54 moro than oc
curred during the corresponding week ot
last year. The mortality among children
continues to bo large. Os the whole
number of deaths last week, 489 were
children of ten years or less. One fatal
case of yellow fever is reported. The
deoeased, David l'olloek, a native of
Scotland, was steward of the brig John
Stevens, just arrived from Trinidad de
Cuba, which vessel is uow at quarantine,
110 was admitted to Bellevue Hospital on
the 22d ult., anil die ! the same day.
Three Peraon, l’olaonrrt.
The Clayton (Ala.) llanner learns from
a private letter from Midway, Barbour
oounty, that three members of a family
uatnod Davis, residing iu the neighbor
hood of Midway, had died suddenly, aud
with symptoms strongly indicating that
they had been poisoned. A post mortem
examination showed that the liver, stom
ach and bowels were peculiarly affected
which caused a strict examination to be
made of the food in the house, wheu it
was discovered that lead was thoroughly
mixed with the meal they had been using.
The mill from which it was obtained had
lead about the machinery, which was by
some means worn off iu grinding, and
mixed with the meal. We supposo that
the meal ground for this family by acci
dent got a greater quantity of tho lead
than any other which had been ground
there, or others would have beon affected
by it.
Blob* nutl Incendiaries,
New York, Sept. B.— On Wednesday
night a mob of about one thousand men
destroyed by fire a portion of the quaran
tine buildings on Staten Island ; and tho
remaining buildings, including tho cot
tages and fine dwellings of tho health
officers, wore burnt by incendiaries on |
Thursday night. Also, the Female llos
l pital, containing Beveuty-five patients.- j
The patients were removed into tho open
nir, aud three females died from expo- I

“ Hontat Tom,” age.tu.
Our neighbor of the Enquirer sticks to
it that he was right in his re collection of
the remark of “Honest Tom” about the
“bloody hands” and “hospitable graves,”
and that of course our recollection is
entirely at fault. Well, really, we con
sider it of but very little importance, |
whether lie or we are right; as we said
before, to put the best face upon the !
matter that can be, it amounts to about |
tho same thing. We thought, however,
that as our cotemporary contradicted our
quotation with such nn authoritativo air,
that he certainly must have had the
documents, and as we did not have them, j
wo thought lie certainly would be so kind,
so condescending, aud so obliging as to j
produce them, and put an extinguisher j
on the controversy. As he has not done
this, wo are compelled to think he does J
not. know much more about the matter
than we do, and shall continue to think j
that it is a mere matter of recollection
between us as to tho words used by
“Honest Tom,” until we have better
evidence than the mere ipse dixit of one
who has no means of knowing more about
the matter than wo do. But until the
“documents are procured,” wo do not
think tho pursuit of tho game will
authorize further waste of candle, so far j
as the words employed by “Honest Tom” j
are concerned.
But what most excites our wonder and 1
“overcomes us like a summer cloud*” is,
that the Enquirer, which has been pitch
ing into Douglas and other anti-Lecomp
ton Democrats, os well as those who voted
for tho English bill, should express hia j
preference for one who has never had |
uuy oilier political faith but opposition
to the South and her institutions, and j
who, while a member of Congress, in
every vote lie has given in which the
rights of the South were involved, lias, J
almost without a solitary exception, votod
with her enemies und against her inte
rests. Wo think tho Enquirer must bo
hard-pressed, indeed, for a leader of its
party, to express a preference for Mr.
Corwin to anybody, Democrat, Black
Republican, or what not. But there is
no accounting for tastes, political as well
as others, and the times aro so out of
point in these latter days, that nothing
a partisan editor can say or do surprises
us much. We must confess, however, that
a few years ago, when politicians were
less trickey than they are now, wo should
liavo thought passing strange of any
Southern editor who would have express
ed preference for Tom Corwin over any
body. By tho way, and in conclusion, is
our cotemporary right down certain that
his pet, Tom, voted supplies to tho army ?
Wo liavo no distinct recollection that ho
did, and as the rocollection of our co
temporary is so entirely an fait upon tho
subject, will ho tell us at what particular
timo and under wliut particular circum
stances? We should like to know. If
ho will make his declarations good by
documentary evidence, wo will choorfully
acknowledge that “Honest Tom” is “a
marvelous proper man.”
Native Wlnct.
The editor of the Houston (Texas) Re
public, writing from Washington, says:
Mr. Affleck, of Washington county,
will make 150 barrels of wine, from the
Mustang Grape, which grows wild in
great abundance.
1 saw some wine, and tasted it too, five
days after the process of pressing, and
during fermentation. It is a good qual
ity of the juice of the grape, combined
with thejuice of the Chinese Sugar Cane.
The grape itself is too tart, and saccharine
matter added makes it more pleasant. A
person may look upon this wine without
breaking tho precepts of Holy Writ,
which says, “look not on the wine when
it is red.” The Mustang wine is of a
deep purple color. Four gallons may be
made from ouo bushel of wild grapes.—
When the grape is cultivated it is much
more productive. Tho value of this wine
is about $2 per gallon. Many persons
make eight or ten bai rids in Washington
county for home consumption.
Shooting Scrape.
On yesterday morning, a little after two
o’clock, a difficulty occurred between
Edward Wickham and Johu O'Neil, the
latter a barber ou the steamship Augus
ta. Au old grudge seotus to have existed
between the parties above mentioned,
when on this occasion after Borne quarrel
ling Wickham drew a revolver aud fired
two shots at O’Neil, who in turn fired
four shots at Wickham, ono of which un
fortunately struck a bystander named
Thomas Hennelly, under the left arm, the
ball lodging in his breast. The firing
attracted the police, when a general
stampede of the whole crowd took place.
After a brisk chase, Wickham and a man
by the name of Murphy wore overhauled
and arrested, but O’Neil came up and
cotifessed tho act, stating that it wns done
in self-defence. Tho two principal were
taken to the Guard House to await the
result of llennelly’s wound. At last ac
counts Hennelly was somewhat better.—

Have Your Printing (lone at Home.
We have lying on our desk the circu
lar of the Huntsville Female College,
Alabama, with a llcport of the Examining
Committee of College, June, 1858, at
tached. At the bottom of that report
appeared tho following significant item
(italics our own):
Note. —lt is to be regretted that the
proof of the accompanying Annual Circu
lar could not bo corrected by tho Presi
dent. It was printed in A T ttc York, and
seveu thousand copies havo been sent us,
full of errors, grammatical aud ortho
graphical. The quantity is too great to
throw aside ; and, besides, it is now too
late to have others printod.
Comment Is unnecessary.
Death of Rev. James Carter.
We learn from the Forsyth Educational
’ Journal, that llov. James Carter, of Butts
county, a venerable Baptist minister, well
known in middle Georgia, died at his :
residence in Butts county, on the 24th j
ult. He was a man of most devout piety, [
and a faithful minister of the Gospel of j
many years standing. Few ever stood
higher among those who knew him, both
as a man and as a Christian, than “Uncle
Jimmy,” as he was familiarly called by
his acqaaintances, and the death of no !
man in Georgia would carry grief to more
hearts. We know that ho sleeps well .
after lifes fitful fever, for his works were \
always good, and will follow him.
North Carolina Gold.
The Montgomery County Gold, so much
talked of lately, is no humbug Mr.
Christian was iu town a few days ago
with his pockets full. The specimens he
brought with him were very rich—worth
some $3,000 to $4,000. One of the nug
gets, about twice the size of a man’s fist,
weighed 71 lbs., and contained more than
! 0 lbs. of gold—say nearly $2,000. This
and several other very rich, but less val
j uable specimens were left here for exhi- j
bition. They took the shine off our other
! rocks. These latter, however, are all
right again, for gold rocks do not stay
long on exhibition : and our coal rocks,
copper rocks, lead rocks and black band
J iron rocks, are in the ascendant, as they
| ought to be. Tho fact is, we have very
little use for theso gold mine people.—
They think they confer a favor by letting
I us look at their dross; tho people who
| own the useful mines never fail to send a
; box full of their specimens for good and
! all. In very truth, money must be the
root of evil; it puts an end to liberality.
If the rocks wo had last week had been
any other than gold or silvor rocks, we
should have had them now—unless wo
had started them for the Mint.—Fayette
ville Observer.
Lawyers Engaged In the Revival.
A correspondent of the Savannah News
writing from Athens, Georgia, on tho 26th
ult., says:
It is worthy of note, that the lawyers
I of this (western) circuit aro now carrying
| on a most extraordinary revival at Jeffer
! son, in the adjoining county of Jackson,
Superior Court being in session there.—
1 The most prominent movers are Hon.
: James Jackson, the representative from
this Congressional District; Thos. It. It.
: Cobb, Esq.; It. H. Overby, Esq., former
| candidate for Governor; Hon. James P.
| Simmons, former candidate for Congress
lin this district; and W. J. Peeplos, Esq.,
iof Lawrencßville. These gentlemen are
! all active and ardent church members,
and are exerting their utmost efforts in
carrying on the great religious work
which seems to bo pervading this whole
country. Just such a work was com
menced by the same members of the bar, i
last week, in YVnlton county, which is
now going on, I learn, in tho hands of
the regular ministry.
Escaped Jail*
Revel, who was convicted for mimler
at the last term of Crawford Superior
Court, and transferred to Clinton Jail for
safe confinement, contrived on Sunday
morning last to open the inside door of
his cell, where he stationed himself until
the Jailor opened the front door to pre
sent him bis breakfast, at which moment
he presented a bowie-knife and Revolver,
and tumbling the Jailor overboard, mado
for tho swamp, where friends with horses
were waiting his arrival, and have since
escorted him to parts unknown. The
Jailor received no material damage from
the ungallant salute.
Clinton jail is one of the strongest in
tho State, tho walls, floor and ceiling hav
ing been erected out of heavy, solid
smooth granite ashlers, at a cost of near
ten thousand dollars.— Albany Patriot , 2d

Iloriea In tlie United States.
It is estimated that there are 50,000
horses in the State of Massachusetts,
221,000 in the New England States, 4,-
500,000 in the United States. Ohio stauds
foremost in the number of horses, New
York next, Pennsylvania next, Kentucky
next, and Minnesota last of all. Esti
mating tho horses of Massachusetts, at
$76 per head, their value will be $3,760,-
000, and all the horses in tho United
Statos at that rate, would make a value of
$337,500,000 or more than three times
the whole cotton and woolen manufac
turing capital in the Union. Tho horse
interest is a most important one to tho
wealth and prosperity of the States.
Mortuary of New Orleans.
The deaths in the city for the thirty
hoursending at noon yesterday amounted
to ninety-two. Although opinions are
not yet altogether unanimous, we are
glad to be able to say that the general
opinion is tbat the epidemic is likely to
decline. The deaths in the Charity Hos
pital. in view of the unfavorable weather
j for the sick, have considerably declined
I during the past few days, and it is hoped
that the record for the current twonty

J gress iu this favorable direction.—A r . 0.

Facts for the People*—lt was a noted
saying of the great l)r. Magcndie, when lecturing
j before hie class, “I care not a button for theories,
give meyiicft.” This is likewise the motto of the
J celebrated Dr. Bragg, who, by a careful observance
I of facts alone, Ims been enabled to bring bis uiudi
j cal preparations to such per lection. His latest iu
i ventlon, the Arctic Liniment, is also bis greatest
i inveutiou; and it may be stated as a “fact for the
| people,” that it Is the best liniment now in exist
j once, and destined to supercede all others. Anotli
! er fact is, that it never falls to cure those diseases
for which It U recommended. The best evidence
of the value of a medicine is, that it effects a radi
cal cure, and this is eminently the case with the
Arctic Llnimeut. It cure* Rheumatism, Neural
gia, Paralysis, Sprains, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, 4c.,
and all eruptive diseases; aud is equally efficacious
in curing the diseases of animals, such as spavin,
riug-bone, poll-evil, 40.
