Andrew Horner and Bams were pitted against

He then took pen in hand, folded his paper with a
oonscloos air of antborsbip, squared himself to the
table like one who considered it no trifle even to write
a letter, and slowly pat down in good round hand, as
if he had been making out a bill of parcels, tbe line—
“In seventeen bonder thretty nine”—
bat beyond this, after repeated attempts, be was una

JacUatlf admitted that be was not quite in the

Tax Father of the Union.—The following elo
quent tribute to Dr. Franklin is from an address be-
lore tbe New York Historical Society by George Ban
croft :
44 Not half of Franklin's merits have been told. He
was the tree father of the American Union, it was
be who went forth to lay the foundation of that great
design at Albany ; and in New York he lifted up his
voice. Hero among us he appeared as the apostle of
the Union. It was Franklin who suggested the con
vention of 1773, and bat for hia wisdom and the con
fidence that wisdom inspired, it is a matter of doubt
whether that congress would have taken effect, it
was Franklin who suggested the bond of tbe Union
which binds these states from Florida to Maine.—
Eranklin was the greatest diplomatist of the Eight
eenth century. He never spoke a word too soon ; he
never spoke a word too much ; he never failed to
•peak the right word at the right season.”
When does Education Commence.—Education
does not commence with tbe alphabet. It begins with
amotbei’s look, with a fathers nod of approbation,
or his sigh of reproof; with a sisters gentle pressure
of the band, or a brother's noble act of forbearance;
with a bandfat of flowers in green and daisy mead
ows; with bird’s nest admired but not touched; with
bnmming-bees and glass bee-hives; with pleasant
walks in shady lanes; and with thoughts directed, in
•weet and kindly tones and words, to nature, to beau
ty, to acts of benevolence, to deeds of virtue, and to
the Source of all good—to God himself.
Aw Atteal to the Youno.—A young man has
lately been convicted In Virginia of robbing the mail,
•nd has been sentenced to the penetentisry. There
b an affecting and melancholy incident 'mnnected
with this young man's criminal history, which r
to exhibit the strength of parental affection. W
the father heard that his son had been arrested on
charge of robbing the mail, he exclaimed—
“ Have my grey hairs been brought to see this ?”
and then fell.
He was taken to his bed, and died in a few days of
a broken heart. If tbe young would not bring the
grey hairs of their parents to the grave in sorrow, let
them avoid tbe first enticements to aln. Once in the
downward path, they know not where they will atop.
Extremes.—A man of sensibility is always either
in the attic of ecstasies, or the cellar of sorrow ; either
jumping with Joy, or groaning with grief. Pleasure
and pain are like a cucumber; the extremes are good
for nothing. I once heard a late minister compared
to the same vegetable, 44 For,” said the punster, “his
ends are bad.”

From 1830 to 1840, the annoal increase of slaves was
47391, and from 1840 to 1850 it was 69,223. and from
1850 to I860 it will probably be os much as 80,000.—I
The number of slaves in tbe United States in 1820
Was 1,638,128, which Is about half tbe amount of tbe

We are told, fay asms of oar axchanfea, that the
Whig party k dead. We don’t think ao-thoogh
Whigs tbamsstvaa would, for the Mas being, bave aa
believe Ik Ilk prsteodlag to be dead only that It
may reviva Ha strength. Whlga, who aa WnaiE* men
and aa 8ootr men, opposed Gen. Pmoa’s election,
are no leea opposed to bis administration. And who
ever k aa opponent of Gen. Pinal's administration
k aa opponent of toe Democratic party.
The Whlga-«r as they please to term themselves
the "conservative men” and “repablican citizens”
of Georgia—are aa Utter In their political hostility to
the President, as ore tbe Whigs or Ysrmont, Mam-
chose Us or Kentucky. What k the staple of the ar
gument which Whigs, In Whig States, are using
against tbe present Democratic administration 7 It'
is the charge that it has appointed abolitionists and
secessionists to office—the very charge which tbe
presses, la sappor^ of Jenkins, are reiterating. Let
then the Jenkins party obtain the ascendency in
Georgia, and Georgia at once ceases to be a Demo
cratic btate. The party beaded by Jenkins becomes
as moch a portion of tbe National Whig party as the
party beaded by Crittenden, in Kentucky, by Ever
ett, in Massachusetts, and Seward, in New York—
The kune, then, involved in oar approaching election
—In the canvass between Johnson and Jenkins-
whether the administration and the Democratic party
•hail be sustained or repudiated by Georgia. From it
there is no escape. Tbe supporters of Johnson, call
themselves what they may, are Democrats—tbe sup
porters of Jenkins, “ republican citizens,” 44 conser
vative men,” or what not, are Whigs. They are op
ponents of Gen. Pierce, and to all intents and pur-
poses, opponents of the Democratic party North and
South. Let the time come for another Piesidential
race, with Whig and Democratic candidates in the
field, and who doubts that tbe political enemies of
Pierce and Johnson will be the aupportere of tbe
Whig national nominee?
These statements carry with them, we know, the
self-evidence of truisms, yet it may not be unimpor
tant to call to them the attention of Democrats. We
therefore regard as peculiarly appropriate anil valua
ble the following letter from Mr. Chappell, in ans
wer to one who desired him to run in opposition to
tbe Democratic Congressional nominee in tbe third
District. Mr. Chappell has tbe reputation of being
one of the ablest men of the State—a leading Union
Democrat—and, if we recollect rightly, was President
of the Unloa Convention which met in hliUedgerille
last summer:
Messrs. Editors .-—In your paper of last week, I observe
an article under the signature of “ Bibb.” which demands
some notice from me. in order that there may be no inisap-
E rebension as to my political position; for 1 deem it incurn-
L-nt on every man. in such a country as ours, to see to it,
that he Is rightly understood in reference to the relation in
which he stands »o the party divisions which exist among
his fellow-citizens.
“ Dlbb ” assumej that the Union party of Georgia has
been reorganised, and takes it as a matter of course that
I - will resume my proper position in It," and does roe the
honor of suggesting me as th: candidate for Congress of
that party in this District. Hrre. at the very outset. I am
ouliged to say that ’Ebb” and myself do not agree as to
the /act which be assumes to exist. It is not my opinion
tba the Union party of Georgia has been revived and re-
organized. It is well known that whilst certain political
events were in progress last year. I regarded them aa the
death-knell of the Union party. It is also known that I
greatly deprecated those events, and struggled hard against
them. They, nevertheless, hapjened. and their effect in to
tally breaking up and dissolving the Union party, was one
of those p*.pubic tbiogs about which it was impossible for
a doubt to be entertained by any body. Nor do I think that
any considerable number of persons can be found agreeing
with - Bibb ” in the opinion that the Union party of Geor-
gia. which was thus broken up List year, has been revived
and re-organized, and is again in the field to do battle as of
yore. At all events, such is not iny opinion. The party
now in the field, and to which - Bibb ” evidently adheres,
and with which he would have me act, does not even an
nounce Itself to the world as the Union party. The omis
sion to do so in the proceedings of the late Gubernatorial
Convention at Milledgeville is certainly a very significant
circumstance. It plainly argues that the opinion of that
Convention in regard to th tfad of the re-organization of
tbe Union party. U quite diner
eained by “ Bibb.”
But it is not tbe name, or the want of a name, of the
party to which *• Ebb ” alludes, that creates the insuper
able obstacle to my acting with it. I am a friend and sup
porter of the present Democratic Administration of the
General Government. I contributed by my vote to tbe
bringing of that Administration into p-'wer. I have confi
dence in the great national party by which that Adminis
tration was brought into power. Of course, I cannot con
sistently with my views and convictions on national poli
tics. take position In the ranks of a party In Georgia which
is inevitably destined, as 1 think, to be an OmnsUion party
—a psrtr antagonistic to Gen. Pierce’s Administration.and
to the Nations! Democracy. Tbe Northern Democratic
partv has, in mr qpinion. from tbe days of Jefferson down
to tbe present hour, been characterized in tbe main, by
friendship and justice to the South. They have stood by
us in a thousand trials ; they hare fought, and either con-
quered or fallen for us in a thousand bard political battles.
Yes! and they were, as a body, with us In that last and
greatest battle of all. the battle upon the Compromise ques
tions growing out of the acquisition of New Mexico and
California. I cannot bring myself to turn my back on such
aNortheru party, and on an Administration which 1 con-
curred with it in electing, until It shall manifest a spirit
and a conduct signally discordant with the general tone of
Its past history and character. My devotion to the South
led uie In 1841. when representing the State in Congress, to
cast off all political connection with the Northern Whigs,
because I saw and knew for myself, that na a mass, they
were Intensely leavened, thoroughly penetrated with hos
tility to the South. From that period I hare been led by
the same devotion to the South, to advocate the policy of
acting with and sustaining the Northern Democratic party,
because I saw and knew for myself, that tho party was as a
body, thoroughly imbued with just feelings and a friendly
bias towards the Sooth, and acted habitually under the In
fluence of such feelings.
Under these circumstances, and entertaining these con
victions. it is, of course. im|>os»ibIe for mo to identify mv>
seif with any party in Georgia, under whose banner T would
inevitably.aa I believe, soon find myself In a position of
alliance with the National Whig Party, and of hostility to
that National Democratic party, to which I have long been
attached, which I bave ju-t heljted to carry into |>ower,
and in whi^h I still have confidence, although some things
have transpired In appointments to office by the President,
which I could have wisned had been otherwise.
Nevertheless, being an optimist in politics, (if I may bor
row a phrase from that great statesman. Mr. Ituchnnan.) I
shall continue to support Gen. Pierce’s Administration, and
to act with the party bv wh ch it Is supported, until some
thing shall occur (which Heaven forbid) making such n
course no longer the be*-t which a Southern man can pur-
•u«. Your obedient servant.

Columbus In 1828.
In looking over an old work, Travels in North
America, in the years of 1827 and 1828, by Captain
Basil Hall, ot tbe English Navy, we came across
the following discretion of tbe foundation of the city
of Columbus. It will not, we opine, be read without
interest at this time. Twenty-five yean ago, this city
existed, but upon paper, and in the dreams and hopes
of speculators. The advance of Georgia in a quarter
of a century, lias no belter commentary than the dis
cretion here given by Captain Hall, placed in con
trast with a detail of tbe late Railroad festivities, be
tween Columbus and Savannah t
*• On the 31st of March we reached tbo Creek Agency, ly
ing on the right or western bank of the Cbatahoochee and
from that point made aa expedition to a very curious
place
•• About a year before the period of our visit, that is to
say. In the course ofl8’27. an arrangement was completed
by tbe government ofthe United States, by which tbe Creek
nation of Indians were induced to quit the territory lying
between tbe Cliatahoochee and the Flint rivers, and to
move westward within the limits of State of Alabama; thus
leaving the vast Intermediate district of country at the dis-
C >ul of the Georgiaus. It aeems that, according to the
ws of Geoigia, any land so acquired, by what is called th
extinction of the Indian claims, is dlvid-d, by lottery,
amongst the inhabitants of the State. Every citizen 21
years of age has one draw, as it Is cilled, a married man
two draws,a married man with a family, three I forget
the farther particulars, and have mislaid the act of the leg
islature upon the subject. I believe, however, that the luts
were of202X acres each. Be these details, however, as they
may, the whole of the country, formerly occupied by a few
Indians, was no sooner acquired than it was divided, in the
way I bave mentioned, amongst the people of that State.
u When this distribution took place, however, the State
government reserved a portion of the country, five miles
•qusre. upon which they proposed to found a city. The sit
uation chosen for this purposed was a spot on the left bank
of the Chatahoncbee, which (s the boundary line between
tbe State < {Georgia and Alabama. The new city wae to
commence at the lower end of a long series of fells, or more
properly speaking, rapids, over which this great river dash
es for some miles in a very picturesque manner. The per
pendicular fell being about 200 feet, an immense power for
turning mills Is placed at the disposal of the Inhabitants of
the future city, within the limlta of which the whole of this
valuable portion of the river has been included. All the
way down to the Culf of Mexico, also, the navigation of the
Chatalioochee is unimpeded, so that several steamboats had
already made their way up to the spot I am speaking of.
“ By a law of the State of Georgia, It was arranged that
00 days should elapse, after this portion of land reserved for
the city was completely surveyed, before any of the build
ing lota could be sold. These lota were to consist of half
an acre each, and the whole five miles square waa to be
distinctly marked out (n afreets, on paper, end being num
bered and lettered accordingly,they were to bo advertised
for aale over tbe whole Union. These sixty days were con
sidered sufllclent to enable adventurers, settlers, land-spec
ulators. merchants, and all otbera so disposed, to come to
tbe spot preparatory to tbe auction.
“The project took like wildfire ; and the advantages of
the new elty br ing loudly proclaimed over the land, people
flocked from 111 quarters to aee and Judge ot It for them
selves. We arrived, fortunately, jnst In the niek of time to
see the cartons phenomenon of en embryo town—a city aa
yet without a name, or any existence In law or fact hot
crowded with Inbabitante. ready to commence their muni
cipal duties at the tap of an auctioneer's hammer.
On tearing tbe Creek Agency, w# drove for some miles
aloogtbe Indian, or Western side of tbe river, and then
crossed over by a ferry to the left bank. In order to see
thlnga better, we sent on the carriage, and walked towards
Columbus, which, It was understood, was to be the future
name of the future dty.
14 Anntlenun—one of the assembled inhabitanU—had
been kind enough to accompany oa from tbo agency, to
ahow off tbe [Jons of this singular place. Tbe first thing to
which ho called <rar attention, waa a long line out through
the coppice wood of oaks. This, our guin# begged us to ob
serve, was to be the principal street; and tbo brushwood
having been eat away, so as to fear* a lane four feet wide,
with small stakes driven In at Intervals, we could walk
along it easily enough. On reaching tbe middle point, our
friend, looking around him. exclaimed. In raptnrsa at. tbe
project of the future greatness of Columbus— 4 ' Here yon

was expected that four months must still elapse before the

Many of these people being without houses, or even sheJs,
were encamped in ths forest. Some lived <n wagons, and
many persons strolled about to pick up quarters and em

were in first demand, It waa a fine harvest for carpenters
and blacksmiths. I was told that upon a moderate compu

habit the new dty. I can well believe this. for. doringthe
short period we were there, many new comers dropped in
different directions, out of the forest—like birds of

“Fiddling on One String.”
In the infancy of our appreciation of music every
stray fiddler who came this way “ stretched the gap
ing eyes of idiot wonder” by cutting, successively,
one string after another until but one was left; and
then, by concentrating his whole powers on that one
string, squealing, growing and shreiking, raving and
stamping it into notoriety, performed, in his own
estimation, a masterpiece of skill.
Certain political writers of this State, taking a bint
from the aforesaid practice, have cut one alter an
other all the strings upon which they played their
arias, until they are reduced to but one poor, despi
cable strip of catgut. First it was discovered that
one string made a deep, heavy, Democratic sound,
hut the audience rather liked that, and it was cut
away. Next, another string sang only of moral worth
and private character, but the variations were found
to be false, and that was cut away. But two strings
remained: one of these represented the doctrine of
Spiritual Rappers, and iu the hands of the aforesaid
editors it made a most doleful, a fearful sound, but
the people turned up their noses at that string, and,
as in the case of the others, the audience was percep
tibly being thinned out so that these political fiddlers
began to apprehend they would hardly have a listener
left, do that string was cut away. But one string is
left: and upon that the changes and variations are
made which exhibit tbe determination of the per
formers to seesaw upon it until, perhaps, the lost
friend in the house will be driven from it; this string
sings only of Disunion, and makes mast horribly dis
cordant sounds—shouting, at the end of every stran
and variation of the air, " hot-headed party dema
gogue and——disunionist!”
When the afon said itinerant fiddlers used to begin
to cut their strings, the part of the audience accus
tomed to polite and respectable music, used to begin
to leave tbe house, and by the time one only string
was left, there were none of the audience left but
tho.=e who could not understand for themselves, but
took it for granted that tbe one string mimic wav tbe
moans of an honest triumph. And it is altogether
likely that the sensible portion of the community will
now, since all the legitimate music is silenced, in the
same manner grow tired and disgusted with this
political “ fiddling on one string! ” Jingo.

One evil, however. la invariably attendant upon a
rainy season in this latitude, and a similar transfor
mation would require tbe genius.of your famous Hel
ler. which Is the creation of a certain tribe whose
blood-thirsty propensities are not regulated with re
spect to those with whom they may come in con
tact, but wreak their fory upon all indiscriminately.
Do not misconceive the species referred to, and
charge such deeds of blooa to tbe poor Seminole’s
account, bat ntber to a for more (at present) blood
thirsty tribe, termed here mosquitoes, or, to use an
old familiar city phrase “ bill stlckera.” Certainly,
of all tbe insect or vermin tribes, the palm must be
yielded to this portion of it for audacity, number*,
and “ length of bills,” tailors not excepted. At the
approach of dask they appear in swarms, obliging
all to act on the defensive, by a brisk application of
tbe mosquito brush,or a snug retreat beoeath tbe
mosquito bar, at tbe option ot tbe “ sufferer.” But
this annoyance is of foie greatly obviated by clearing
away tbeabrunbery, 4c., adjacent to tbe garrison, it
being characteristic of this tribe to vamose at the
approach of civilization in the same manner as is
looked for by the government with respect to another
resident here; but os to tbe actual number that will
vamose before the lamentable alow progress of im
provement which has attended the State sinco Its
acquisition, is easily conjectured, and Is to bo re
gretted.
The speedy possession and settlement of this, the
southern portion of the peninsula, cannot be other
wise than desirable, and pregnant with importance
to the State and country at large. The vast tract of
country, its diversified soil, and surface of pine, bar
ren hammock, prairie and swamp, its peculiar cli
mate aud position, all anitc in holding forth unequal
led inducements to tbe southern planter and capital
ist—la fact, all who may feel disposed to try tbeir
plow and fortunes in this titled “ Garden of the
Union.”
Within its embrace are found the various luxuriant
tropical fruits, in tbeir natrual state of vegetation,
(the only portion of the Union so favored) combined
with the culture of nil the staple products of the
south, which flourish to the highest degree, and but
partially develope the immense resources of the State
which, when practically tested, will vie with auyof
her sisters, iu value, quality, and aggregate produce.
Her stately pine and sturdy live oak, which cover
sn immense area of surface, have become (aside from
domestic consumption) a valuable article of export,
used iu maritime structures, Uniting in every sea,
and acknowledged to be the best material for such
purposes In the world.

Many warriors, women and children of all parties,
come in and trade, viewing everything with an air of
haughty pride and self-satisfaction, the uatural re
sult or late negotiations.
King Bowlegs still remains in obscurity, though
constantly promising (through a second iierson) to
soon emerge therefrom and come in ; but how far his
assertions may be relied on has been satisfactorily
tested heretofore. The last message received from
him stated his intention to visit the post immediate
ly after the completion of the “ green com dance.”—
This is an annual Indian festival in which the whole
nation participates, occupying tbe space of three or
four days, commencing near the 15th of the present
month. Billy is certainly very wary, and is deter
mined to keep aloof from all possible danger and in
fluence.
Major French (the Post Commandant) was a few
davs since honored with a message from tbe celebra
ted Mickusukie chief, Arpeika, better known as Sam
Jones. The message, in substance, was an invitation
extended to tbe Major to hold a “ talk” at some sta
ted time and place, but not within ten miles of the
Post. The Major replied, through the messengers,
(two athletic warriors,) that “ he had nothing to talk
about nor was he emjiowered to do so, but would be
happy to see the old warrior at any time and pla<«
to assure him of the kind intentions of his ' great fa
ther’ toward him, as well as to satisfy a personal de
sire, long entertained, or beholding a personage occu
pying so prominent a position in the history of his
race. This, accompanied by a quantity or “ wy-o-
mee,” or whisky, was despatched to the famous re
cipient, and no doubt was well received, particularly
tbe above named accompanying present.
The garrison, last evening, was the scene of a thril
ling incident, a practical illustration of “ Uncle Tom
Stowe's Cabin,” both in theory and principle. Par
ticulars are as follows;
At sunset, on the day in question, a signal fire was
descried on the opposite bank of tbe river, distance
one and a half miles, and, as is usual in such cases, a
boat and crew were immediately dispatched to ascer
tain tbe cause of sa'd lire, and convey over any per
sons who might be there in waiting. AH supposed
the fire to be built by Indians having a desire to cross
over to trade, as is often the case—but on approach
ing the shore the party was discovered to consist of
three powerlul negroes, armed with rifles and a dou
ble shot gun, dressed in the German plantation style,
and manifesting considerable uneasiness at the sight
of the crew.
A glance and a few interrogatories convinced nil of
their situation and intentions— i. c., that they were
unmistaknbiy fugitive slaves, on their way to join the
Indians; but no remarks were passed which could
possibly arouse their suspicions, and they were ac
cordingly given a passage to the post (at their own
request) to purchase powder and provisions. They
were accordingly taken before Major French, to whom
they asserted “ that they belonged to Billy Bowlegs,
aud had been out on a hunt for two months or more;
that their ammunition and provision were exhausted,
and they wished lo obtain so much as would subri-t
them until they could reach the Indian village/ —
Not a very plausible story, certainly, and the Major,
interpreting their true characters and designs, ques
tioned them very closely, and was answered, in part,
by a miserable attempt at the Seminole vocnbulnry,
their whole knowledge of which consisting of half a
dozen words familiar to every soldier and citizen re
siding in the vicinity.
This, with other connecting circumstances, con
firmed the suspicions of the Major, who immediately
gave them in charge of the sergeant of the guard ;
nnd, on their arrival at the guard house, discovering
the leap laid, the three gave a yell and a leap, and
disappeared in the thicket, leaving behind them their
entire stock of provisions and cooking utensils, com
posed of an oat sack half filled with beef bones, nn
Iron tea kettle, also an axe and one shoe. Thus are
they left in a state of utter destitution and no means
of alleviating their pitiable situation.
Vigilant search has been made to discover their
retreat, but without success. It is supposed—if they
reach the Indian village, or come in contact with a
hunting party—they will be immediately captured
and brought In. The fugitives are supposed tn be
from Man a tee, a settlement near Tampa Bay. The
circumstance has created considerable excitement,
and many conflicting opinions exist, involving the
question of slavery, its rights, wrongs, 4c., 4c. Oh!

Cotton Falsely Packed.
The Memphis Enquirer rays ; A great deal of cot
ton. falsely packed, has been shipped from our port
during tbe past season. We bave just heard of one
lot which was purchased Id this market last Janu
ary, and shipped to New Orleans, the lot consisting
of forty-two bales of cotton—three biles of which
proved to be water-packed. Two of the boles were
detected at New Orleans previous to tbe sale of the
list in that market; but one was not ascertained to
be damaged until after it had been sold, among ttie
rest, at 9j cents. This bale was very heavy, weigh
ing about 674 pounds, and sold for about sixty-six
dollars. The false packing, however, was discovered
after the sale, and the bale has just been returned by
the purchaser to the commission merchant in thfs
city. It is thoroughly water-packed, as to be almost
entirely worthless, and was sold at auction for $19,
leaving about 848 loss to tbe first purchaser in this
city. This loss he has paid by the commission mer
chant. aud he must now look to the planter for jua
tice.
We regret to say that this Is only on- of the many
cases of this sort: and we trust it will be the last.-

Transactions of the Hothschllds.
A recent writer gives some interesting particulars
upon this subject:
“ In twelve years about five hundred million dollars
were raised by the house for different powere. by way
of loan or subsidy, which were distributed in nearly
the following proportion : lor Edgland, two hundred
millions; for Naples, fifty millions; for Russia,twen
ty-five millions*; fur several German courts, four
millions; (or Brazil, twelve millions, exclusive of va
rious uthei large sums. The remarkable success of
the Rothschilds, setting aside the great opportunities
they have enjoyed from favorable circumstances, may
be attributed to their strict adherence to two funda
mental maxims. The first of these, in compliance
with the dying Injunctions of the founder of the
house, is the conducting all their operations in com
mon. Every proposition of magnitude made to one
of them, is submitted to the deliberations of all. No
project is adopted until thus fully discussed, and is
theu executed by united efforts. A second principle
is, not to aim at exorbitant profits, to set definite lim
its to every operation, and so fnr as human foresight
and prudence can do, to render it independent of
accidental influence. In this maxim lies one of tbe
main secrets of tboir strength.”
^ The Philadelphia papers bave been furnished by
Dr. bturgeon, U. S. Treasnrer at the Mint, with a
statement of the operations of the Mint for the month
of June. By it we learn that the deposits of Califor
nia gojd for the month are of tbe value of $4,473,000.
From all other sources, $60,000. Silver bullion, of

Gums, ob Bo T9 in Houses.—A few days since
one of our citizens lost a horse by the grulw. Two
of our ithydiciatiH thought of making an experiment
upon them, and accordingly dissected the stomach
and made sundry applications of various poisons to
the living grub found attached thereto. Nitric acid.
Prussic acid, chloroform, sage tea, 4c., 4c., were
poured on them and strange to say did not effect
them, except to rather increase than diminish their
voracity.
NVe notice an account of similar experiments in
one of the Northern papers of like result. From
these facts we are inclined to the belief that while
some remedy may be employed to detach them for a
time from the stomach, that nothing can be given the
horse which will destroy them.—Brandon (Miss.)

tlld two L-it
party of Hie district to give their united support to Colonel
Ringbone in Houses.—This disease so termed br.
cause it constituted bony growth round the pasterr-
bone, is of two kinds, which are distinguished by
horsemen as true nnd false ringbones. The former
occurs nt the pastern joint, and generally arises from
strain o! these ligaments ; but tbe latter consists in
ossification of the cartilages of the sides of the foot,
which become enlarged, as well as converted into
bone. The best treatment for ringbones of either
kind is, after the inflamation has been in a great
measure removed by cooling applications, to lire the
part, nr otherwise rub in the iodine of mercury oint
ment, washing off the effects on the following day,
and thus repeating it again and again. We have by
such means succeeded in removing the lameness,
diminishing tbe enlargement, and r-storing the ani
mal, in many cases, to a state of usefulness.—Spooner.
A Leviathan Newspaper.—A statement is made
in one of the Londori newspapers (The Britannia.)
of the operation of the reduetion of the advertist-
ment tax on newspapers proposed In the Ministerial
budget, which shows the enormous amount of the
business ot tbe Times office. The whole number of
half-penny supplement stamps issued in England in
18-52. was 16,244,437, of which the Times took about
10,650,000,leaving but about four and a half millions
for all other papers throughout England. The calcu
lation Is that the release of the stamp duty on adver
tisements will benefit the Times uewspaperto the ex
tent of £35.000, say one hundred and seventy-five
thousand dollars a year! What is the whole value
of an establishment whose annual income is affected
to that prodigious amount by the alteration in the
half-penny duty on advertisements ?
The steamer Ocean, which went ashore on the
“Londoner" Tuesday night, remained yesterday
morning at eight o’clock, at which time the steamer*
Rescue and C. L. were alongside, endeavoring to get
ber off. Her position bad not changed since she
went on. She was fall of water aft, and the hurri
cane deck waa washed away, but her bqws remained
out of water. About all the freight bad been taken
out, and a portion of it brought back to this city. It
is thought she will ultimately be got oft—2fcu/on
