than richo. or inarringo. A man with luck is
always in town ; and, il lie hns a wholo pntror
inexpressibles, enn go through society without
feeling ne Gencrnl Scott felt when ho took n hns-
ty plate of soup and started for Mexico, exclaim-
iog: “For Many sake, don’t fire upon my rear!
The present ave is notorious for luck. Mon
sieur Heudebert, the French cook, tvho was
lnnde consul to a nation of cooks (thn French
being great on a stewj >« a living evidence of
luck. When he was nt Wondville, and kept an
oyster-honso there, the New Orleans Delta in
forms u*. ho had a Creole from New Orleans lo
dinewithhim. The Creole wanted oyster soup.
Monsieur Heudebert had a taste for oyster soup
that would have done honor to the cook at Del-
monico’s.- He therefore prepared n majestic
tureen fall of tho fattening fluid, and left it in the
window to cool. A wag who knew tho fight
ing propensities of Monsieur Hendebert’s guest,
and being desirous of riming n mass in disquiet
little villngo, put slyly a handful of young live
toads into the tureen and departed. Soon din
ner was served, and tho Creole, with eyes ofvnin
desire, as the cover was lifted, plunged his ladle
into the soup. The toads were hopping about
right merrily, (not being fond of popper tea red-
hot,) and the guest perceiving an uncotnmou
commotion, roared out, ‘'Monsieur Ilcndcbert,
your oyster is alive, sacro damn.” "'Tisnot
possible.”cried the landlord, grasping tho ladle
and fishing up a minor toad in extreme agony.
One long, good look was sufficient for him to
see death and destruct'nn before him, and the
horror-stricken Frenthm in rushed into the street
with the Creole after him, excluiming, at the top
of his voiee,“Frog soup ! morblenu, I am a dead
man!” As the clap of thunder follows the light
ning, so followed the Creole upon the heels of
Monsieur Heudebert, bowie-knife in hand# The
Frenchman’s knowledge of localities served him
at this pinch, and the pursuer, nfter swearing for
two days, departed for home, leaving the unfor
tunate oyster vender at liberty to return to his
business, a wiser and n better man.
The appointment of the son of the lion. John
Davis of Massachusetts, us secretary of legation
at the court of St. James, was strange, consider
ing the manner in which tho secretary of legation
went out upon his mission. We are informed
that he sailed last month ns the forerunner of Mr.
Lawrence, bearing Mr. Bancroft’s letter of recall.
Of course ho acts as minister ad interim, and will
get $9,000 outbt and minister’s full pay, until
Mr. La vrence presents himself nt the English
court with his credentials. We understand that
this will be the upshot of the matter: Acting
Minister Davis will get $9,000 outfit, and bona
fide Minister Lawrence will get $9,000 outfit,
und Uncle Sam will have to foot tho bill; and
this, too, to enable the man who has no friends In
reward and no enemies to punish to recall
George Bancroft, and exalt the high tariff cotton
spinner of Lowell. No more forty shilling
shawls will now be seen nt Queen Victoria’s
court, nnd no more Americans will go without
bird dinners at tho American ambasssador’s
house, while Lowell twirls her spindles and
Abbot twirls his thumbs. Said we not that there
was luck under the deuce f If we did not say
so, we say it now; nnd those who do not believe
us had better look again at the thermometer.
It amuses us to see a little dog snarl at the foot
of an elephant, or a little leopard growl at the
whiskers of a grave and considerate lion. The
little flings of the “Republic” nt the “Heroic
Age,” written in Washington, sent abroad, and
copied into the classic columns of the organ ns
expressive of popular sentiment nt large, puts us
in mind of Pope Emmons’s inimitable impromp
tus, which took three weeks to prepare for per
petration, nnd four weeks thereafter for publica
tion. Every thing requires management, and it
is to bo expected that those who wrote Zachary
Washington into office will do their best en
deavors to prevent the independent press of our
country from writing him down an ass before
Congrees meets.
We recollect of once hearing of a little boy
who was suspected of being half wilted, and
who wub directed by his mother, when he went
with her to a dinner purty, to keep silent during
the meal, and thus prevent tho guests from dis
covering his mental weakness. True to his les
son, the little fellow ate what was set before him
without a comment, and when addressed by
those who sat next him, made no answer. At
last one of the gentlemen who had been very
attentive to his wants and who had used every
exertion lo draw him out,'exclaimed, “Why the
child is a fool.” At this the little fellow's eyes
brightened; he dropped his knife and fork, and
hallooed to his mother, who sat at some distance
from him—"Mother they have found me out,
and I never said a word.”
The whig party, embracing Truman Smith
& Co., denounce the democratic editors for find
ing fault with the administration before it has
done anything to stamp it in any way; and the
pretty hoys prate of faction, and otioie the dic
tionary upon ns with a remarkable looseness;
but like tho people in tho neighborhood of the
half-witted boy, we have found the soft Tommy
out, notwithstanding he hns been ns silent ns it
clam at low water, and as grave and reverent as
Harrison Gray Otis’s owl, that brooded over
chans. But this is a lucky administration. It
has discovered more defaulters than u few in pub
lic office; and when called upon to declare the
amount of (he defalcations, it admits that it hns
not Bellied the accounts or struck the balances of
one of them; hut that it has a vogue suspicion
that the fellowsare in Hockcty, from the manner
in which they pay their honest debts to the peo
ple.
A friend of ours, who has sailed some, and
whose tarry propensities cannot he repressed, no
matter how short the tails of his coat may happen
to be, hus sent us a most amusing description of
our “Ballard’s” visit to the Pennsylvania at Nor
folk, he never having seen n ship before. We
learn that when the salute of 21 guns was fired,
he stood up in the stern sheets of the gig with his
hat off, nnd excluimed, “Thnnkce, captain ; wo
are a great nation, by Jupiter!”
As lie mounted the sides of the vessel ir silver-
haired old boatswain, dressed in uniform, with n
silver call, was piping most melodiously, lie
seized the boatswain by both hands, thinking he
was captain, thereby putting his pipe out, and
astonishing him by his familiarity. Old Junk re
treated forward among his messniutes, who asked
him what he thought of the head of the sen lions.
“A damn'd pretty fejlow is he,” said the offend
ed dignitary, “not to know a boatswain from the
tapluiu of a line-of-lmttlo ship.” Tilings, how
ever, went off very well until the official went
forward and looked down the main hatch. As
this extraordinary hole gaped before him, lie
seized the captain by the arm and exclaimed, in
a voice of tremulous astonishmr lit, “By Hea
vens, she is hollow!” and echo, down in tho
deep vortex, in the shnpe of the captain of the
hold, answered, u She is hollow/” and the man on
the royal yard heard it, nnd, with a smile upon
his bronzed countenance, unwittingly shouted,
' She is hollow!” And blessed he God, she teas
hollow. An hour of equally amusing occur
rences transpired, and then the old ntan of the
sea departed, wondering how much faster the ship
would go if she bnd a larger wheel, and whether
fihe required such large sheets, seeing that her
men stowed themselves away in hammocks, nnd
were no respecters of clean linen.
The manner in which clerks have been dis
missed from public offices and their successors
appointed, convinces us that luck is everything
in official affairs at the present day. One of our
conscientious heads of department determined
that, sq fer as his office was concerned, every-
thing should be done decently and in order. He
submitted a list of his subordinates to a commit
tee of citizens, supposed to have been of the
Rough and Ready Club, with the request that
they,Would mark the objectionable opes, **
Its end offences, state tbfcir
condition, and live the names of those who hod
families. This list, after undergoing*ftill inves
tigation, was returned,with a list of tome twenty
or thirty naraea marked as fit victims .for the
■laughter. A oommlttee of two of the accepted
office-holder*, with the head of the department,
then revised the lilt thus prepared, and after a
searching Investigation, a Aw were struck off of
the black list, and tile balance were removed.—
Tho result of this operation was, that one-half
of the best clerks in tho department vvoro remov
ed, and a lot of poor clerks put in tholr places,
many of whom did not know how to indite an
official letter, and all of whom, like scholars at a
district school, were only valuable in their sta
tions nfter they had acquired their daily lessons.
It is curious to see what tuck had to do with these
cases. Many a poor devil who know he ought
to go, nnd who never expected to stay, found
himself promoted ; whilo those who hud been e£
ficient, attentive, capable, honest, and faithful,
were dismissed with as little ceremony as a lot
of charity scholars are at the end of a tortn.
The Second Washington was lucky in going
to Mexicoto fight the battles of his country. He
whs lucky in getting back from Fort Brown to
Point Isabel without being forced to fight a bat-
tlo without ammunition. Ho was lucky in fight
ing tho buttlo of Buena Vista against orders, and,
as ho said, with a halter about bis neck, lifter the
extraordinary capitulation of Monterey. lie was
lucky in having mon fitted for tho service—he
was lucky in having a Worth, n Wool, and a
Childs to aid him. Ho was lucky in getting
bnek from Saltillo to the field of Buena Vista
without being cut off by the Mexican cavalry-
Ho was lucky in having his letters well indited ;
in having his pledges short, sweet, and compre
hensive ; in having weak opponents in the whig
ranks in Philadelphia ; and in having democrat
ic friends in the country, who really thought him
a better democrat than Gen. Cass, and a truer
pntriot than Washington ; and now, when the nf-
fairsofStutebegin to pre«s heavily upon him.how
lucky he is in having a cabinet who desire to do
ull his business for him, and monopolize all his
putronnge and power.
Wo respect a lucky man—he is tho individual
for our money; like a cat thrown out-ofa cham
ber window, he always drops with his feet down.
A man may bo lucky without finding a soft-soap
mine, and respectable without having the dys
pepsia, nnd, ns is sufficiently shown in tho model
organ, may he witty without n spark of common
sense. By the way, in futiiro years, when the
Genius of Liberty shall plough about tho high
places, of the republic, wo should not bo surpris
ed if the snvuns of Europe should be called to
gether by tho horn of science to examine the
relics of tho past that burden the soil, and which
will then be known by the appellation of the
organic remains of tho “HEROIC AGE.”
A LADY BEHEADED BY OLD ZaCK Theblood
hound administration at Washington, not satisfied
with hunting down and proscribing every man
in Bedford county who held an office, have con
cluded their enormities by removing a widow
who held the little post office at Schellsbiirg, an
outrage that will visit upon the head of General
Taylor tho indigation and contempt of every
virtuous man und woman in this community.
Hero was an nged and estimable lady, who had
given satisfaction to everybody, nnd who had the
signatures of ut least three fourths of all the vo
ters in the township asking for her continuance
in consequence of tho excellent condition in
which the office had been kept, turned out to give
place to a young man for service, rendered in
shouting for Old Zuck! This will ben beautiful
subject for the contemplation of our people
many of whom were induced to believe that
Taylor would be the incans of putting an end to
the bitterness of party strife—that he would re
move iio one from office fora mere difference of
opinion, nnd that he would follow in the foot
steps of Washington. Would the Father of his
Country have perpetrated nn outrage like this?
Would he have removed a woman from office lo
have gratified the bloodhound propensities of
brawling politicians? Such an imputation upon
the fair name of the beloved Washington would
force his spirit from the grave! Taylor n Second
IFashingtonl The O?* of scorn will heuraiter
point at nny one who makes a comparison so dis
graceful to the memory of tho the illustrious
dead!
The ladies of this country nt one time enter
tained a high regard for Taylor, believing that he
had an honest, independent, and self-controlling
mind> hut what will they think of him now, when
they learn that he has taken the brend out of the
widow's mouth to satisfy the craving nppetites of
bitter partisans, who claim office ns a reward for
politics services?—Bedford (Pa.) Gazette.

Ahilmitm Elections.
We have received only partial returns from
one county in Alabnmu, that of-Montgomery,
which it is estimated will give Hilliard about 200
majority. Pugh’s prospects are fluttering.
Gas Lights.—A successful experiment has
been made in our city, by Mr. Wni. Humphreys,
Druggist, of producing gas from chips of pine
or other wood, on a very cheap scale. The ex
pense is said to bo very trifling, nnd the gas of a
very good quality, nnd burns brightly. We have
seen it burning several times. Mr. Humphreys
will have it in operation this evening, from 7 to
10 o’clock, for tho inspection of our citizens,
who are respectfully invited to call and satisfy
themselves of the success of tho experiment.
North Cfirolitm Election.
We have no further returns from North Caro
lina except the following letter to tho editors of
the Charleston Courier of tho 8th. It shows a
strong probability of Stanley’s defeat, and again
of n Democratic Member of Congress.
Goldsboro', (N. C.,) Aug. C.
“ Gentlemen—The returns from our elec
tion, at length come to us in such a shape that
we begin to see through. I give you such as we
have. They are, I believe, correct, and can bo
depended on.
The Dying Effort.—The last Journal &
Messenger puts forth a most pitiful appeal to the
sympathies of the people ill behalf of the Whig
canidute for Governor, whose private character,
it insists, has been “wantonly assailed.” The in
sincerity nnd affectation of the whole article is
only equalled by the shameless falsity of its char
ges It is not true, ns tho Journal Messen
ger. alledges. that the Democratic Press have as
sailed the private character of Judge Hill. On
the contrary, the Democratic press have most
scrupulously abstained from all personal allus
ions. and acted consistently with its promies to
assume an elevated position with reference to
the diccusion of such topics as may enter into the
prescntcampnign. Such a complaint as that of
the Journal Of Messenger, without any just provo
cation. may, and will be regnrded with suspicion.
Does this Journal wish to invite attack on a point
so delicate? We believe it does. Well aware
that rio charges ofimportnuce can he preferred
against Gov Towns’ administration. thisJoun al,
in its hopeless despair, now binds its cause to the
stake—heaps the fagots around—applies the
torch—and sings the hallelujahs of martyrdom as
the flames ascend. Such self-persecution for
sympathy’s sake, we can inform our cotcmpora-
ry. 1ms ruined better causes than that for which
it now offers the Whig canidute a willing sacri

Barber-Shop Scene; or the way to of.:
Siiayedbefore your turn.—Altlie barbershop
opposite Smith's clock store, on Fifth-st., a most
laudable trick was played ofi on the boys in the
shop.
The room was well supplied with customers,
nnd the chance of getting shaved in n hurry was
out of the question.
A small man with a waggish look, enme to the
door, and after surveying the crowd, walked in
nnd took a seat on the sofa,
“ How far is il to a doctor’s office? ” asked the
strange gentleman.
“Just ucross the way,” replied one of the
boys.
The eyes of the company were turned on the
stranger.
“ I feel bnd,” said he; nnd nt the same time u
spasm look him. nnd his hands clenched und his
lags drew him up in a perfect ball, and he rolled
off on the floor.
“Thai’s a cholera ense,” said one ; and he took
his hat aud left. This was the signal, and all follow
ed suite except those undergoing tho shaving
operation.
The spasm seemed to subside—the arms and
legs stretched out at full length, und the patient
lay prostrate on his buck.
“ Wipe off the lutlier,” said the fat man next
to the door, “ I’ll come in again—I can’t stuy
now.”
Just then another spasm took thn stranger, and
by some strnuge movement he bounced upon the
sofa, without nny nppnrent effort, fiat on his back
as he was laying on the floor. lie rolled up in
to a hall ngain, nnd rolled barkwurd and forward
on the sofn in astjle that would have done credit
to n circus man.
This wan a finisher; those that wore shaved
left, and those not shaved liad’nt time lo stay;
the boys looked at euch other in astonishment.
The cholera subject uncoiled himself, and asked
if his turn hud come, when he took his seat and
had a good shave.
“ Whut's tho charge?” asked the stranger.
" Nothing,” suid the barber, “if you will leave
your name.”— Cin. Com.
The Charleston Quarantine. The
Charleston Mercury denies that there is any dis
crimination between the Savnnnuh and New
York Steamers, in the quarantine regulations of
that city, ns was stuted in our paper some time
since. Wo muko the correction with pleasure;
but still think that the regulation, so fnr us Sav
annah is concerned is both useless and illiberal.
There has certainly been no case of cholera in
Savunnnh, and the cuses which have been de
veloped in the vicinity have generally been nu
Rice plantations, on the Carolina side of tho
river. Wo have heard it stated that in 1832,
although there were some 1700 cases on tho Rice
holds of Carolina and Georgia, there were not
more than two or three cases in Savanmh. If
this be the fact, the quarantine regulations of
Charleston are, to say tho least, oppressive to
the Savannah boats.—Macon Messenger.
Swords to General Twiggs, Cols, Walker cad
Unrilee, and ('apt. Tauimtl.
The Whigs are hard pushed for cause to abuse
Governor Towns. A writer in the Republican
of the 2d inst., complains that the swords ordered
by the Legislature of Georgia to be presented to
Gen. Twiggs, Cnpt. Hardee and Capt. Tattiial,
have not been presented, and says he is pained
about it. All the blame is to be visited upon
Gov. Towns for neglect. The writer perhaps
will be relieved of his “puin" by reading the
following extract from the Augusta Constitu
tionalist. There has been no neglect on the part
uf GovernorTowns in the mutter:
“A correspondent of the Savannah Republican
makes some inquiry as to when these swords
will be forth-coming. lie is disposed lo cast
censure on Gov. Towns us having neglected
to act under the resolutions of the lust Legisla
lature on this subject. We take occasion to set
him right, nnd to say that the swords aro nearly
finished, and will be at Milledgeville sometime
in next mouth.
“We arc authorized to muke this statement by
Messrs. Clark, Racket! & Co., of this city, who
have the contract, and under whose orders the
swords are being made ut tho North in the
handsomest style.”
Tim Wo»kWobd*iii.—About twelve orflf.
teeu jeers ego two persons, who have since be#
como very distinguished, pursued In the city of
Cincinnati occupations, one would have thought,
not very llicely to Form generals, statesmen, or
rioldlers; hut who have each occupied no smoll
portion of the attention of the World. The firs 1
of these, a working tinman and braasffounder,
became the distinguished General Arista, of the
Mexican army; nnd the second was the fumous
Garibaldi, then keeper of a cafe. At the same
time Maroncelli, the companiou of Silvio Pellico,
taught music iu New York, Louis Napoleon was
writing his treatise on\Artillery at Geneva, in
Switzerland, and Achilla Murat was practising
law and planting sugar in Florida. There are
certaiuly ebbs and floods in every man's fortune.
The Enolish and thb Slave Trade.—Tho
Liverpool Times, of the 7th July, contains a re
port of tho select committee appointed by the
House of Commons, being in continuation of
the inquiry to consider the best moans which
Grant Britain can adopt for the final extinction
of the slave trade. The result of the inquiry is,
“that a long nnd large experience of attempts to
suppress the slave trade by a naval force leads to
the conclusion that to put down that trade by
such means is impractic ible:” aud the report rc
commends that “Great Britnin should be re
leased from those treaty engagements in respect
to this trade which place tho question of main
taining a blockading squadron beyond tho free
and exclusive control of tho British authorities.
The oommitteo entertain the hope that a sup
pression may lie effected by,pacific means—the
improvement and civilization of the natives.
TnE Denby’s Case.—Mr. Denby, whose de
falcations the Whigs are now complaining about,
was appointed by Mr. Tyler, aud not by Mr.
Polk. The Union says:—“ We feel authorized,
by n letter which we received last evening from
Richmond, from a gentleman who is thoroughly
acquainted with the whole transaction, to pro"
nounco, in the words of our respected corres
pondent, that Nathaniel Denby is “ no defaulter.
(properly and odiously so called.) With the
lights before me, I defy his bitterest personal
or political foe successfully to assail his integrity
and faithfulness to tho public interest in any
matter connected with this transaction. I owe
him no favor, nnd am under no obligation to him
or nny other public man; but, in his absence,
feel justified iu declaring that Mr. Denby has
nothing to sillier from the most searching inquiry
into this matter. You are at liberty to publish
this letter, or use it in any manner you shall deem
proper.”
Washington and Manchester Rail Road.—
The Marion Starsnys:—We are happy to learn
that the prospects of our Rail Road are encour
aging. We understand that a portion of tho
contracts for grading on the West of Great Pee
Dee have been completed, and that the work is
ready to be received. Gen. Evans, who has a
large contract in the vicinity of the village has
commenced work, nnd we understand that a
great many of our farmers coutemplalc employ
ing the interval that elapses between the laying
by and the season for gathering the crops, in
active nnd energetic work ou the road. We
hope to Imvo the pleasure, at the end of six
months, to announce to our readers that the en
tire grading of the road between Darlington und
Little Pec Dee has been completed.
A number of Irish emigrants living at Gown-
uees, near the Penny Bridge, on the outskirts of
Brooklin, N. Y., were dispossessed for the non
payment of rent, nnd turned into the highway.
They lay in the fields, some dead and others dy
ing, with cholera, presenting a heart-rending and
revolting sight. So says the N. Y. Tribune.
Is this Northern philanthropy ? Wo do not
treat the negroes so wickedly ill the South.
The Boston Traveller suysliie drought in that
region hus been extensive and severe, and potato
mid perhaps other crops are injured, probably
beyond remedy. A correspondent at Lancaster,
N. II. writes that the drought has been b (5rely
aggravated in that vicinity, by extensive fires in
the woods. In the town of WhitefieJd, upwards
ofj 00,000 dollars worth of limber land has been
burnt over.

The Crops.—The Nutclios(Miss ) Courier of
the 27th ult. says:
From every direction wo hoar distressing ac
counts of the condition ond prospects of the cot
ton crops. Never did the prospect of our far
mers wear so dismal an appearance. The thea
tre of disaster is not contracted—it is as wide
spread ns the cotton region. The continued nnd
heavy rains of tho last four weeks Irve destroy
ed pretty much what the frost spared, am! about
drowned out the product of the second planting.
The cotton in many fields, to a superficial obser
ver, would nppeur most blooming nnd luxuriant;
nnd so it does, but it is all weed. The boll which
forms the snowy fleece of the Southern staple is
not there, aud tho rest, no matter how thriving it
may appear, is valueless. We do not believe
that the crop of tho coming season in Mississippi
will equal, by fully one-third, that of last year.
A letter from a friend residing in the northern
purt of Wilkinson county, states that it hits rain
ed in his vicinity thirty-four days in succession,
and that not more than half a crop will be avera
ged by the planters around him.
Tho Alexandria (Lo.) Republican of the 28th
ult. says:
It is impossible for the cotton crop to recover
from the injury it bus sustained by the rainy
weather, which has alrendy prevailed for more
than thirty days, and usyetufiords no promise of
stopping. Such a season, old nnd intelligent
planters assure us hns not been experienced for
twenty-five years. They assert that even with
the most favorable weather, more than half a crop
of cotton cannot now be made, and that if they
have the caterpillar there will hardly be nny cot
ton nt all made- The rain must also, if it con
tinues, materially injure the sugar crop. It has
already set many of the sugar planters buck a
good deal by preventing some from getting out
timber, und others from making bricks to build
or improve their sugar houses.
A New Weapon,—A new instrument of war
is being used iu tho contest between Austriu nnd
Hungary. A corps of bombardiers is attached
to each division of the army, each man of which
enrries three of these new projectiles, while
another soldier attends with rack, surmounted
with a wooden tube, which serves to direct the
fusee.
The instrument consists of a wrought iron
tube, pierced with holes, sharpened at the point
and filled with n fiery matter. They are so ar
ranged that when they have accomplished the
required distance a liquid fiery matter gushes
from below, nnd scatters dismay among the
horses of the cavalry. The hissing of the fiery
pointed projectiles is more terrifying to the
horses than tho noise of the pnssnge of shells.
One single one of these sometimes succeeds iu
carrying disorder into a whole squadron.
The Austrians first used them, hut iu the nr-
sennls which have fallen into the hands of the
Hungarians, they found largo quantities of them
nnd they ure now using them with deadly ef-
flcct.
„ ,, Worms In Ohlldron.
Of all diseases to which children tre exposed,
none are so fatal to them as Worms. Unfortu
nately, children are seldom free from them, and
as they imitate the symptoms of almost every
other complaint,they often produce nlarmingel-
focts without bein£ suspected. Worms aro not
only a cause of disease thomselves, but by their
irritation aggravate all other diseases, wandering
from one partof the body to the other, winding
thomselves up into large bails, nnd obstructing the
bowels and frequently the thront, causing con
vulsions, nnd too often death. The desired rem
edy will be found in DR. JAYNE’S TON
IC VERMIFUGE—which will very soon dep-
troy the worms, and invigorate the powers ol
digestion, so as to prevent a return of them.
1ST CONSUMPTION, COUGH, SPIT
TING BLOOD, &c.—To Consumptives, Four
fifths of you aro really suffering from neglected
colds or an obstruction and consequent inflamnin
tion of the delicate lining of those tubes through
which the air we breathe is distributed to every
partof tho lungs. This obstruction produces
E ain and soreness, hoarseness, cough,difficulty of
realhing, hectic fever, aud a spitting of blood,
matter or phlegm, which finnlly exhausts the
strength of tho patient, nnd death ensues.
JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT never fails to re
move this obstruction, and produces the most
pieusing and happy result. It is certain in its ef
fects, and cannot fail to relieve.

july 20 F. M. STONE
The Seasons—The Crops.—Tho Macon
Telegraph says: “For the last thirty days,
have had. nearly every day, a succession of
heavy showers, which we fear have injured por
tions of the growing crop. It is too early yet to
form a certain opinion with regard to the full ex
tent of the damage sustained by tho Cotton crop,
from the late frosts of the spring und the recent
heavy rains. But from all the information we
can gather, and our correspondence with gen
tlemen residing in the heart of tho Cotton region
of the Stuto is extensive, it appears to be gener
ally conceded that tho Cotton crop throughout
Georgiu will full greatly below an average yield.
This will be a great drag on our planting friends,
but we trust they will not be disheartened, as the
Corn crop is good and promises uu abundunt
harvest. Iu Middle Georgia, us iu Cherokee,
the Wheal crop turned out almost an entire
failure.”
Fine Corn.—Wo aro iufortnod, says the Ma
con Messenger, that Col. John Smith, who plants
upon Cedur Creek, Wilkinson county, has a
field of corn which will average over eighty bush
els per aero. The Colonel has not been "run
ning for the premium;” but we have no doubt,
from what we have heard, that his field will turn
out inoro corn than uny in the Stutc of equal
extent, und that its average yield will not fall far
Bliorl of that of uny selected acre which may be
named. .
“Save me from my Friends.”—If evor n
man hud reason to pray that his friends should
spare him, he is Gen. Taylor. Iu un article
upon the faith of a soldier, the Ohio Statesman
hud the following general remark:
Among those who follow tho profession of
arms, falsehood is considered the worst and most
unbecoming of ull vices; and a falsification of a
soldier’s honor stumps him at once us the vilest
of the vile—as one that an honorable man can
not associate with without contamination.
Gen. Taylor’s personal organ, tho Republic,
copies, nnd adds:
Such is the situation of the man intrusted with
the high office of tho President of the United
Stulcs.
Thus fitting the coat to Gon. Taylor’s back.
We hope tho organ will uot now turn rouud
and denounce the Union for its abuse of Gen.
Taylor, bocause wo havo copied the remark
above from the Statesman, and its application by
tho Republic from its own columus.—Washing
ton Union.
A Pattern of a Farmer.—The Centreville
Sentinel says that Pere Wilncr Esq., (our old
friend and patron,) of Queen Ann’s county, hus
made the present season four hundred bushels of
Wheat from a fifteen aero lot. “Hurra for
Queen Ann’s.” say we.
Some one called Richard Steel the “vilest of
mankind.” He retorted with proud humility,
“It would be a glorious world if I were.”
Mastery of Annoyances.—“Would you touch
a nettle without being stung by it? Take bold of
it stoutly. Do the same to other annoyances; and
few things will ever annoy you.”
Tremendous Food.—A correspondent of the
Mt. Sterling Whig, writing from Licking Sta
tion, Morgan county, Ky., under date of the
13th nit., says:
I write to fnfortn you of the terrible destruc
tion of property. «S c., by the Into flood in this
neighborhood which was almost entirely con
fined to two creeks, tho Middle and Johnson’s
Fork of Licking river. The farms are literally
lorn up, fencing all gone in the bottoms, houses
wished away, horses, cattle, swine, &c., drown
ed, and the inhabitants barely escaping with their
lives, some by swiming ashore, and others by
clinging to the tops of their houses. So tar as
heard from, no person drowned. Never, iu the
recollection of the oldest inhabitant, hns this
section been visited with such a tremendous
flood. Tho whole country on these creeks is
one continuul sceno of desolation, and the in
habitants look like spectres among the ruins.
The crops, that looked so line and promising nre
all swept away, mid the want and destitution
will be severely felt.”
Kill All—Spare None.—Such wns the cry of
Charles the XT. of France, when the word was
given to slay the Huguenots in Paris. We be
gin to believe that this is also the motto of tho
present National Administration. The last evi
dence of the fact is tho following from the Newark
Eagle:
Taylor “spares neither age nor sex,” in his
proscriptive policy. A Mrs. Schootnaker, with
a largo family of children, who since the death of
her husband has kept the light house on the Hud
son, has been removed and her place given to a
man! A petition to the President, signed by
every steamboat captain, and the captain ofevery
cruft navigating the Hudson river, of all parties,
was sent to the President testifying to tho excel
lent manner in which she kept^ the Light, and
asking for her continuance; but it was of no use
—she was ejected. We never heard of such a
cuse among “tho earlier Presidents,” but per
haps Old VVhitey has.
War among the Birds.—A largo owl was enp-
lured by Mr. William King, of this city, on Wed
nesday evening, in a most singular manner. Tho
window of one of the rooms of his house was
open, nnd a small child was in bed nlone in tho
room, just before dark. The child boginning to
cry, some one went into the room to quiet, it nnd
discovered the owl standing on ono of the bed
posts; and in and near the window were a con
siderable number of robins and other small birds,
which had evidently driven his owl-ship into his
present confinement, and were gunrding the
window to prevent the escape of their enemy.
Mr. King was called, nnd having shut tho win
dovr, went into the room and caught and caged
the bird, which he still has in his possession.—
Rochester American.
An Afflicted Family.—The family of Dr.
Luke Ilassert, Grand Scribe of the Sons of
Temperance, residing in Hudsou-street, have
suffered most severely from the unrelenting pes
tilence. On Tuesday night, his daughter, a little
girl between two und three years of ngc, was the
first victim. Mrs. Ilassert, who was in appa
rently good health, was attacked soon after the
doatb of her daughter, and died at 11 o’clock on
Wednesday morning. His nephew, a young
ninu 15 years old, died last night. At 9 o’clock
this morning his only son, 10 years of age died.
Tho remains of the first three were taken to
Hackensack this morning for interment, where
the funeral of the son will take placo this after
noon.—N. Y. Tribune, Aug. 2.
Red Rain.—A shower of rain as red as hlood
fell near tho village of Bonvilston, South Wales,
and extended from thence in a westerly direction
over Lantritiiyd, Flemingston, &c.. towards
Llnntwit-Mnjor—it was so manifest that it im
pregnated the clods of earth, many of which were
like ruddle. A phenomenon of this kind has
been known to occur on tho south side of Mount
Blanc, where it left red spots on the snow. In
the iron districts of this country small Stroms have
been so impregnated with chalybeate that the
water was of quite a deep red colour for some
distance.—Willmcr Sf Smith's European Times,
20th ult.
Graphic.—Lord Byron describes a party with
which he dined, as follows: “ Like most parlies
of the kind, it was first silent, then tulky. then
argumentative, then disputatious, then unintelli
gible, then altogethery, then inarticulate, nnd
then drunk.”
Will He Resign?—When Judgo Collier was
nominated by the Democratic Convention of
AluUuma, ho immediately resigned his office of
Judge. Will Judge Hill follow his example, or
will lie follow the example of Gen. Taylor—hold
on to the office he has, until after he is elected to
another? The latter, if not the most patriotic, is
the safest for the nominee, and according to Whig
usage—Albany (Ga.) Patriot, 27th.
One of tho finest nnd bravest of tiie officers
who have fallen upou the embattled plains of
Mexico, and oue that obtained early nnd dis
tinguished promotion whilo a cadet at West Point
being importuned by a high spirited and reckless
companion to drink with him the enchanted cup,
and chided for his cowardly refusal, simply re
plied, “My mother would not wish me to.
Machanics.—We clip from the Washington
correspondence of the Baltimore Sun the follow-
iiig, as evidence of great good sense on the part
of the General, and aro only sorry we cannot
give his name:
“One of the Generals in our army, resident in
this city, and in affiueut circumstances, hns been
wise enough lo learn his well educated sou a
trade, aud the youth, with all tho tr .e dignity of
one of nature’s noblemen,is wielding tho uxe and
a jack-plane. This is a noble novelty which
merits commendation. 'Give a boy a trade and
you give him an estate."’
Cholera Among Hoos,&c.—The Cincinnati
papers state that hogs, nnd even horses, in tho
streots, havo been smitten with the cholera and
died. The Louisville Courier of tho 13th inst.
learns that Mr. Crutchfield, living aboutCO miles
below Cincinnati lost 58 of his hogs-in a single
night, the hogs apparently suffering great pain,
and in continued cramps and spasms.
Whipped his Wife.—It is reported that a
heretore distinguished Commander in the Nnvy,
now residing in Washington, was mean enough
to whip his wife lately, Tho Indies in the neigh
borhood are about petitioning the President to
strike, him from the rolls of the Navy.
There are over a thousand princes in Ger
many, great and small, who receive annually
from the people over two hundred millions of
dollars; while a laborer works eighteen hours
out of twenty-four for 72 cents per week.

Manchester.—Thn market this week Imi been firm
and them is a firm feeling on the part of holders to obt»bi

the cotton market, the spinners have cluiine.l n further «<|.
vnucc of J.l pei lb. generally, and, la mnnv in-lance, of
Jd. There can be no doubt that this claim (maintained
throughout the day with unflinching firimiox,) h„i cmnld-
erubly restricted the amount of ba-incss; j et. it ha. hem
so far nccceded to, by sonic duxxi-. of buyer., ux to render
the transaction* of mod crate, if not of lair exleut. nn ths

mnnuf.icturcrx and the (i :rui iii merchnnts; the latter limn
paid thn advance most readily for warp* nml jimrnpj.
The Indian hntixns, however, have cantiuurd lu eland
aloof. An ndditin! advance has ulxo Imcn demanded up
on goods, nnd here again the elfect has horn a limitation of
business. Tho makers of 7 8th and 9 8th printer.nnd

The sudden and con-ider.ddo ri»c which has recently
