(Tbr Dailii HENRY CLEVELAND, Editor, f x. A TIO UHTA. <|A .t » ■■. —»- TUESDAY MUUXt.wi, JAN.-*8 186* -v Good Jokk on West Point.—We boar that West Point engineering bos come to grief. The labor of fifty soldiers has been employed tor a year past tu building anew dock of stone some two hundred yards further down the river than the old one. Along the water’s edge, too, with great labor, a road of crit stone has been built, and the whole up. dertaking wanted~onTy a lew weeks of completion. It has been the abhorrence of the soldiers, for it has been a kind of “galley work” imposed upon them as punishment. It has been to the super intendent, Gen. UulTom, as “the apple o(bis eye,’’ and he has personally super intended it. Having finished she stone wall, earth was put behind it, and as the foundation was a shelving rock, when the earth became moist it acted like a wedge, and every one was amazed, and not a little pleased, one day last week, to find the whole affair non est, gonedJown the river, and scarcely a trace left of a year's labor and s2o,ooo.— Hartford. Post. A Beautiful Comparison.— lt is so natural for Governor Brownlow to give utterance to sentiments that could not proceed from the thoughts or lips of a gentleman (says the Charleston Daily News, 20th instant), that his notorious blackguardisms are taken as a matter of course; but, in a speech, recently de livered at Nashville, he has so far ex celled himself that he has really suc ceeded in exciting some surprise. Gov ernor Brownlow, in alluding to the fact that the workings of the Freedman’s Bureau had failed to give universal sat isfaction, actually went so far as to poke fgti at the Saviour of mankind. We quote the blasphemous passage: “ If our blessed Saviour were to eome to David-on county, with shoulder strips on, and three or four stars on his shoulder, and briu-r w-th him a military sti.fr of the old Apostles be could not give satisfaction to tb-lhe rebels of Davidson county.” Wcdouot think it likely that-such a thing should tome to pass, but deem it much more probable that his infernal majesty, the Devil, w*pay a visit in that direction in search ot old Brownlow, who would undoubtedly make a first rate chief of staff, even for the Devil himself. • , Bound to Commit Suicide. —A man named Henry Deitrich, living on Michi gan street near Sycamore, had a slight misunderstanding with his better half one day this week, says the Buffalo Commercial, in consequence of which he was arrested, and taken before the Police Court. Owing to the trivial na ture of the offense, be was let off with a fine of two dollars. The circumstance so weighed upon Henry's mind that he resolved to take his own life. He went? home, procured a rope, attached one end to a beam in the woodshed, belayed the other eml around his neck, kicked the bucket—we mean the flour barrel—from under him, and there he was ? He hung until, according to our informant, “he was black in the face,” where he was discovered by a friend and cut down. So badly, however, did he “want to he an angel,” that lie again resorted to the rope. He was again discovered and re leased. He afterwards tried to suspend himself by the neck with a sheet; but here again he was balked in his design by the interposition of friends. He then, being somewhat exhausted by his *ef foris, went to bed, when he attempted to blew his brains out and his head off with a revolver. He placed the muzzle of the loaded weapon in his mouth and snapped away several times, but as he had ne glec-ted the essential part of placing caps upon the tubes, ot course he couldn't shoot, and at last accounts was still Alive. It is said that a “wilfu’ man maun hae h ; s way,” and we do not. see why Mr. Deitrich should be deprived of his rights and privileges. He should he provided with a keg of powder and a C"-il of fire, and allowed to enjoy him aelf. Cotton Market. [Efpressly Ifeported far Daily Press. ] Acousta, Ga., January 22, Ifllifi.

In Cramp Colic , Cholera 3/nr bun. or Serere Pain in the Stomach or Botcels. a doze should be taken every five, ten, or twenty minutes, or as often as may be foun.i neces sary. The more severe the pain the larger should he the dose and the more frequently repealed. The bowels should he bathed with it freely, over the region of the pain. Should this fall to relieve, a warm poultice should he applied, and a warm cnciua given. In mo*l rases of cramp colic the stomach and bowels are in a morbidly acid condition. The alkali, a.-sociated with this medicine, neutralizes the acid; the other ingredieuts tend to relieve the inflammation or pain. tlf the stomach is in an irritable condition, it may cause vomiting, which will afford more speedy relief, especially in flatuleut colic. g&T* Those who use this medicine should preserve this advertisement. j«23—lt Established in 1813.
