SOUTHERN A&RICULTURB.
EDITED BY DANIEL LEE, M.D.
TERMS—ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM,
IN ADVANCE.
Illustrated WITH NUMEROUS ELEGANT AND COSTLY
Engravings.
The character and object of the SOUTHERN
CULTIVATOR are so well known, wherever it has
been read, that the Publishers deem it scarcely ne
cessary to say anything in reference thereto in sub
mitting a Prospectus, for the SEVENTH VOLUME.
To establish an
AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL
worthy of the South, and her varied and diversified
products, industry and resources, has been their
highest ambition; and although their efforts have been
but poorly rewarded, they flatter themselves their
labor has not been in vain. The services of an
Editor, Dr. LEE, one of the .first practical and scien
tific Agriculturists in the Unfbn, have been secured
at a heavy expense; and the work is embellished by
a most accomplished Artist, whose labors are exclu
sively devoted to its illustration. Indeed, no effort nor
expense has oeen spared to render the work most
useful and instructive to those for whose exclusive
benefit it is designed. Having performed fully, as
we think, our duty, it remains to be seen whether
lue Planters of the South will “ puttheir shoulders
to the wheel” and aid us and themselves in this great
work of improving the husbandry and meliorating
the social condition of the whole people. We think
they will, and it is our confidence in their intelligence
and liberality which has sustained us through years
of unrewarded toil. The Work should be in the
hands of and read by every one who has the charge
of a family in the Southern Stales.
The first number of the Seventh Volume was
issued on the FIRST OP JANUARY, 1849. It will
be published monthly, on fine paper, in quarto torm,
each number containing SIXTEEN PAGES of close
ly printed matter, 9 by 12 inches square, forming a
volume in the course of the year, of 192 pages.

NAPTHA, the great remedy for Consumption,

This celebrated preparation is pleasant to the taste,
and is so speedy in its operation, that patients plainly
feel its effects in a few minutes after taking the first
dose.
Hastings’ Compound Syrup of Naphtha is now be
ing used in nearly all our hospitals, and is also coming
into rapid use among all our best physicians, for
coughs, colds, and all diseases of the lungs. It has
been recommended in the worst stage of consumption
by the celebrated physician, Dr. Mott, of New York;
and Dr. Arnold, of Savannah, Ga., writing to the
agent at New York, under date of Jan. 30, 1848,
says: “ I received the half-dozen Hastings’ Naphtha
Syrup ordered from you, and am convinced that
Naphtha is the principal ingredient. Inclosed is
twenty-five dollars, for which you will send me two
dozen and a half bottles. I have two patients in the
Marine Hospital, whom I think will be benefitted by
it.”

R. GORDON’S FAMILY PlLLS—Being
compounded exclusively of such ingredients as
Nature intended should operate on the impurities of
the Human System— strike at the root of the disease,
removing all impurities from the body, opening the
pores externally and internally, separating all foreign
and obnoxious particles from the chyle, so that the
blood, of which it is the origfti, must be thoroughly
pure —necessarily securing a free and vigorous action
to the Heart, Lungs, Tiver and Stomach, thereby
restoring health , by opening the pores, cleansing the
veins and arteries, unimpeding all the natural veins
and purifying the blood, they render the system not
only thoroughly sound, but also impervious to disease,
even when all other means have failed.
Within the last twelve months, more than one hun
dred cases of the most aggravated forms of Dyspep
sia have been cured by the Medicine, where rigid
dieting, the Blue Pill, and almost every other means
had been resorted to, without any benefit, and when
death stared its miserable victim fully in the face. II
Dr. Gordon’s Pills were not adapted to the cure of
any but this horrid malady, their uniform success in
this disease alone would be sufficient to “ waft on to
fame ” the name of their inventor, as a benefactor of
his species.
The medicine never fails to cure the worst cases of
Piles in one week!

Suspension Bridge at Pesth.—The Pesth
Suspension Bridge, which is erected over the
Danube at Pesth, was commenced in 1840, ac
cording to the designs and under the direction
of William Tierney Clark, civil engineer, and
has just been completed at a cost of £650,000.
This bridge, which, for magnitude of design
and beauty of proportion, stands first among
suspension bridges, has a clear watei away of
1250 feet, the centre span or opening being
670 feet. The height of the suspension towers
from the foundation is 200 feet, being founded
in 50 feet of water. The sectional area oi the
suspension chains is 520 square inches of
wrought iron, and the total weight of the same,
1300 tons. This is the first permanent bridge,
since the time of the Romans, which has been
erected over the Danube below Vieuna, it hav
ing been considered impossible to fix the foun
dation in so rapid a river, subject to such ex
tensive floods, and exposed to the enormous
force of the ice in the winter season. It now,
however, stands as another monument ofihe
skill and perseverance of our countrymen.
The bridge was opened for the first time, no
to an ordinary public, but to a retreating
army, on the sth of January, 1849, by which
the stability of the structure was put to the most
severe test, which cannot be better described
than by referring to the letter of a correspon
dent, who writes—“ First came the Hungarians
in full retreat, and in the greatest disorder,
hotly pursued by the victorious imperialists ;
squadrons of cavalry and artillery in full gal
lop, backed by thousands of infantry —in fact,
the whole platform was one mass of moving
soldiers; and during the first two days, 60,000
Imperial troops, with 270 pieces of cannon,
passed over the bridge.”
This fact cannot but be of importance to the
scientific world, since it proves that suspension
bridges, when properly constructed, and truss
ed according to the design of Mr. Clark, may
be erected in the most exposed places, while
their cost, in comparison with stone bridges, is
insignificant. —Proceedings British Royal Soc. of

Finn and Insanity.— About 5J o’clock yes
terday afternoon, an eccentric genius by the
name of Thomas Darrow, a miniature painter
by profession, was observed by a person from
a window in an adjoining building to the ar
tist’s studio, No. 4 City Hall place, in a state
of nudity and apparent insanity, dancing and
gesticulating with great earnestness. After
watching him some time, he was seen to take
a quantity ofvarnish and pour it over his per
son, and also throw it about in every part of
the room. Suspicion being excited from his
actions that he was going to fire the build
ing, information was at once given to the
Chief of Police, who immediately dispatched
an officer to take him into custody. On arriving
In the building was discovered to be on fire, and
upon forcing open the artist’s door the flames
burst from the room, and at the same time the
linfbrluaate man rushed out and up the stairs
leading to the roof, in a state of nudity, and bla
zingfrom all parts of his body. In a few mo
ments he fell upon the roof exhausted, and was
enveloped in a blanket and conveyed to the
Hospital. The injured he has received is so
great as to render his recovery exceedingly
doubtful. In the meantime the fire was ex
tinguished with but trifling loss.
