The Girard Railroad.
A meeting In behalf of the Girard and Mobile Ball-
road was held in Columbus last Saturday. A reso
lution Instructing tho City Council to subscribe one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, in addition to
;> previous subscriptions, was passed with only three
dissenting votes. There are now wanting, aocordlng
to tho exhibit made by the friends of the Company,
hut fifty-four thousand dollars to pay for tho comple
tion oftbe road from Columbus to Union Springs, the
dlstanoe of sixty-two and a half miles. From Colum-
- bus to Colbert, twenty-two and a half mileB, tt is un
derstood that the locomotive will be running some
time during tho next season. Tho Company bus al
ready on hand “all paid for” an engine and five
cars.
When tho road is finished to tho Union Springs L
the chief interest of Columbus In the intorprize will
j. v cease. It is yet, wo think very uncertain whether it
will for many years go beyond that point. The Mo-
hilo subscription of a million of dollars is controled
by such conditions as leave it doubtful whether the
company can make it available. In tho first place
the bonds for that amount aro not allowed to he is-
. sued until Mobile receives sufficient gaammtlcs that
the road will bo finished, in three years, from Union
Springs to Qroenvllle, a distance of fifty-eight miles.
,. In the socond place the Mobile subscription can only
be expended between that city and Greenvillo:
i indeed, will probably ail of it bo required to complete
tho first twenty miles of tho road from Mobilo, as two
difficult rivers, (the Mobile and the Tensaw) spread-
ingoat Into broad swatnpB, have to crossed within a
abort distance of that city. From Mobil* to Green
ville, the distance 1s, we believe, a hundred and fif
teen miles.
Alabama Election.
* Wo give, in the appropriate column, such accounts
from the Alabama election as tho.tclegraph has fur
nished us. Oao item is, that Earnest, tho Whig
candidate, has a “good” vote for Governor. That
Will probably, when the whole truth is known, bo
found to mean no more than that ho has only been
dofeated by a majority, of from five to ten thousand
votes. Of Winston’s election there can bo no doubt.
In the 2d Congressional District it is .uncertain
whether Abeucrombie, who is a " Republican citizen
and conservative man,” a la Jenkins, or Clopton,
Democrat, is successful. The latter we hope. The
District has hitherto been Whig.
Dowdell, if elected, is a Democratic gain—the 7th
Distriot having been represented by a Whig la the
last Congress.
..The most exciting canvass seems to havo come off
- la the Mobile District, between Philips, Democrat,
and Lockwood, Whig. A friend, a few days before
the election, cyphered out for the Advertiser a major,
tty la the other counties of 200 for Lockwood, which
that paper thought would be increased by Mobile to
SO0.' On the contrary, it seems that Mobile gives
Philips 200 majority—from which, wo think tt likely
f bat he has been elected.
Railroad to the A’aelflc.
It Is generally known that two members of the
cabinet, Messrs. Davis and, Guthrie, have recently
expressed themselves favorable to the construction,
by the United States Government, of a Railroad to
tho Pacific. They find authority for its construction
under that provision of tho constitution which re
quires Congress to provide for tho protection or each
of the States against “insurrectionand invasion.”—
It is contended, and truly wo think, that the defence
of California against any foreign power of the first
rank which might attempt to wrest her from the
Union, will require facilities for the transmission of
troops from the East superior to any now In exist
ence. Proper facilities can only be famished by a
Railroad. Therefore Congress has the same power to
construct a Railroad as it hot to construct any other
military road.
This may all be admitted, and yet if private par-
ties, as.we believe, are prepared to boild the road at
their own expense, why need the Government spend
1U corrupting millions upon the work 7 Barely If
• others are ready to take the Job off the hands of
Congress, we see not why the general Government
should embark in the enterprise.
'"7ft copy from the Washington Unton a portion of
an article bearing on this subject, which appeared a
few days since in that paper:
It Is a safe and sound rulo that whenever Congress Is
looked to for aid In any enterprise, the drat consideration
should bars regard to Its conformity with constitutional
power. There are politicians, and they are not a few in
number or deficient In ability, who meet tbe proposition at
the threshold with a denial of IU constitutionality. Those
who have arrived at this eoneluslon are actuated by fixed
conviction based upon settled principle* of constitutional
construction to which they adhere with rigid tenacity, and
from which they can never be reasonably expected to de
part. We set them down as fixed opponents, upon whom
no process of reasoningthst may hereafter be adopted can
bum an impression, we think (bey err in miking a wrong
application of sound principles. Without professing our
selves to be either pMuliarly strict or lautudinoua eon-
■truettonlste, and with a frank admlulon that ws do not
profess to Mtuprehend, with tho exactness of- actentiCn de-

been content to form our opinion on the question upon
what we oonndsr the natural, common-ssnse mode of eon-

Congreae baa exactly the nuns power to appropriate the
; public revenue towards the construction of a railroad to

Fadflo territory from Invasion or aggression.

Coroner’a Inquest.
Coroner Eden held an inquest last evening, on the
body of an unknown white man, found upou Hutch
inson Island shore, (about two miles above tho city,)
and supposed to have been drowned.
It was supposed to be the body of Mr. W. P. Meady,
mate of the brig Luoy Atwood, of Portland. Me., os
Mr. M. was missing on Monday morning last, and
had not been beard of op to Tuesday morning, when
the brig sailed without him. Owing to tbe departure
of the Captain and orew, the body could not do posi
tively identified as that of Mr. Meady, be having no
aoaualntances in the city.
we are informed that Mr. Meadv had a wife and
three children living in Portland.—A’crmng Journal,
yesterday.
Louisiana Medical College.
We are indebted to the courtesy of Dr. Bant. Dean
of the Medical Faculty ot the University of Louis
iana, for a copy of the annual circular of this depart
ment. It is an exceedingly interesting document,
and exhibits concisely and perspicuously the immense
—we might almost add, the unparalioled advantages
offered by this Institution, as a scientific and prac
tical medical school. These advantages may be brief
ly enumerated. It possesses one of the most exten
sive and complete museums of anatomy to be found
In the world. Most of the preparations are tho work
of eminent European artists—many of them have
been obtained at heavy cost, from tho finest collec
tions in Italy and France, and comprise muscular
preparations, representations of the anatomy of the
tissues, cablueta of human and comparative anatomy,
collections in wax, which counterfeit nature with ex-
qnisite accuracy, and pathological specimens and
models of whole classes of disease. The value of
this doportment is immeasurable to tho careful stu
dent
No city in America can compare with New Orleans
In tbe opportunities and facilities daily presented for
thorongh chemical instruction. Experience is the
great gnido to medical knowledge, and whore can
this «ne eua non of the prolesBion bo better acquired
than in that imtnenso receptacle of disease—-the
Charity Hospital. In this vast institution, from fif
teen to twenty thousand patients are annually re
ceived, while its wards, even in our healthiest season,
seldom contain fewer than 600 or 1,000 sick. In
medicine, surgery and obstetrics, cases of marked in
terest continually arise. The professors of the Col
lege are empowered by the Legislature to use the
Cnarity Hospital os a school of practical medicine;
and during the session of the Medical Department it
remains in charge of the faculty. Every morning,
for two hours, tho Professors pass through tho va
rious wards, examining patients, and illustrating to
tho students who aro in attendance, the theory of
morbid action by practical exemplifications. It is
not too much to say, that these Bhort clinical expla
nations, contribute more to familiarize students with
tho numerous and complicated features of disease,
than the most learned and elaborate course of lec
tures. Tiio members or tho classes of the Medical
Department enjoy unrestricted and gratuitous admis
sion to the Hospital—they are likowise privileged to
attend post-mortem examination*, and thus they
learn to verify on tho dead subject, the lesions and
changes of structure wrought by dlseaso.and to ac
quire just and precise notions of the difficult but
highly important branoh of pathological anatomy.—
It Is only necessary to add that surgical operations
are invariably performed in presence of theBtudeuts,
and that the more advanced among them aro provid
ed with obstetrical cases.
The opportunities for obtaining a minnte acquaint
ance mttn anatomy are unsurpassed. We cannot
S erly enlarge on this topic, but lot it suffice, that
s clsowhero the means of studying Anatomy in
tho ouly way in which it can bo usefully acquired,
are uncertain, precarious and grievonsly expensive—
in New Orleans this ground work of a solid medical
education may be laid without trouble, without cost,
without danger, and without shockiug jiopular preju-
dices. The graduate of the Medical College of Lou
isiana must bo an accomplished Anatomist. Ho can
not well be otherwise, for he is utterly relieved, while
a student, from theslightest barrier to tho persover-
ing, and practical study of this essential part of bis
education.—N. O.Bu.

Washington, July 3..
The British minister. Mr. Crompton, left, with
Messrs. Marcyaad Cushing, this morning, for Berkley
Springs, by request of Mr. Matey, who desires to pro
ceed with the fishery and reciprocity negotiations in
a quiet manner, free from tbe frequent official inter
ruptions he necessarily meets with here.
The British Post Office authorities here, upon the
estimate furnished by the Postmaster General, ex
pressed their readiness to refund to the United States
tho sum of six thousand four hundred and ninety-six
dollars, being the estimated amount of postage erro
neously credited to that office by tbe United 8tates,
on newspapers sent from the United States, through
England, to certain countries beyond. The informa

Wo clip the following from the Panama Star:
An American Man-of-war.—We learn authorita
tively that special Instructions have been sent ont by
tho United States Government to tho Commodore on
this coast, ordering a vessel-of-war to be immediately
stationed in tho harbor of Panama; tho order, we
learn, went to Valparaiso by tbe steamer Bogota^—
We aro pleased to learn that our Government lias at
length seen tho necessity of plaoing an armed vessel
here for tho protection of Amorlo&n citisons and tholr
property; and it is to be hoped that Com. Dalaney
.will loso no timo in carrying out his instructions.
Later from Bogota.
A correspondent or tho Panama Star writes from
Bogota, the capital of New Granada, on the 17th ult.
as follows:
The late extra session of Congress, which termina
ted tbe day before yesterday, lias been very important.
The law was sanctioned by which civil and relig
ious matters are entirely separated; also was passed
by the two Hoases, tbe law regarding matrimony,
which recognises marriage as a simple contract, and
provides for divorces in some cases, and almost at the
will of the parties; but it bas not yet been officially
promulgated.
The representative from yonr provinoe, Justo Arose-
mena, presented to the House of Representatives tbe
following projects for codes, viE: civil, mining, penal,
supplementary laws to the penal code, of Judicial or
ganization, or passing judgment in civil coses, of
passing judgment in criminal cases.
These codes were received with unmlstnkcnble signs
of satisfaction by tho House, and were adopted im
mediately on the flret debate, and in the second were
ordered to be printed for the coming seralon. Thus
it is safe to say that in 1854 New Granada will havo
her legislation properly completed, and not have to
use laws of tho 13th century, which are still in force
in the Republic.
The disorders of which tho capital has been the
theatre aro being calmed. Tho Administration is
now going on iu n rational manner, in which stato tt
has not been for tho last two months. It has resign
ed itself to tho necessity of accepting tho now Con
stitution, which in reality it did not llko } beenuso it
is now convinced that its fail would have been inevi
table if it had manifested any opposition to tt.
From Valparaiso.
Tho Panama Star gives us a note of the arrival of
the British 8. Nuv. Co.’s steamer Bogota, on the 3d,
with 34 passengers and $440,000 in treasure, and the
following items of news :
The Bremen bark Compos, from Bremen, bound to
California, put into Valparaiso on tbo 8th ult., leaky.
H. B. M.’s transport Rattlesnake arrived from Ports
mouth and the Straits of Magallen on tho 1st ult., ami
sailed for Honolulu on the Oth. The Rattlesnake had
provisions for H. B. M.’s squadron in searoh of Sir
John Franklin.
A new Commercial Rcvoiler has been issued at
Valparaiso by Mr. Thomas B. Adams, and will appear
regularly twice each month in future.

had put into Valparaiso with ico melting badly. Sho
had struck, and lcakago had causod tho melting.—
Sho was repairing and would bo ready fur sea in a

Search tor n Lost Child.
Tho Mount Pleasant, Iowa, papers givo long ac
counts or a Bcarch for a lost child, which recently
took place in thnt connty. It is stated that, during a
meeting in Salem, word was brought thnt tho child
of Mr. and Mrs. Roach, who live two mllea south of
Hillsborough, and soven miles sonth-west of Salem,
in Lee county, bail been lost tho evening before, and
was then missing. “ The child must be looked after,”
was the ready response of every one, and forthwith
forty or fifty persons wero ready for tho search, find
on the way to Mr. Beach’s. Thoro thoy learned that
one hundred persons had been out all day in an inef
fectual search. Arrangements wero mndo for an
early commencement of tho bunt noxt morning:
and long before day tho tolling of tho Somlnary bell
warned tho peonlo of tbeir doty to their neighbors in
sore distress. There were many sleepless eyes that
night, and early dawn found hundreds of people of
all classes on tho alert. Tho girl was about fivo
years old, and, with a twin brother and another child,
had gone to a neighbor’s house oa Friday afteruoun.
On tholr return, and when within a quarter of a
mile of home, and within fifty steps of n neighbor’s
houso, Bhe was observed to climb a garden fenco and
lingered behind, whilo her companions went home
and reported that their sister would be along soon.—
That was the last seen of her. On Sunday, as we
have stated, the general search was commenced. A
line was formed with men bnt ten feet apart, and
woodland and prairie searched by more than five hun
dred men, but not n trace of the lost one could be
found. But they did not despair. They resolved to
oontinue the aenroii on Monday morning with increas
ed numbers. Monday came, and the country for miles
aronnd was hunted over, and still without success.—
Again they resolved to devote themselves to the work
next day. Tuesday foand these good neighbors again
at their task. A hollow square was formed from five
to six miles in diameter, making Mr. Beach’s house
the ceutre of the square, and up to twelve o’clock
there waa no tidings of the lost one.
Bnt then, when two miles from Mr. Beach’s, and
exactly opposite from where it had last been seen
in an almost Impenetrable thicket, Mr. F. A. McElroy,
of Salem, was the first ta catch a glimpse of the child’a
dress os It made Into tbe brush a few steps from him.
A momont raore.aud notwithstanding her attempted
flight and resistance, lie held tho child in his nrms<—
Sho was uear a pool or water, where she had passed
the night. Being asked how she slept at night, sho
rcnliod, “ I just slept on tho ground, without any
thing to cover with.’’ She was very ranch reduced,
and had a vacant look in her eyes. For four dara
she had been without anything to eat. Hundreds of
people assembled, os tho news spread, at the house,
and the feeling and excitiment was intense to see tbe
lost one who had been just providentially restored to

Mysterious Murder in Indiana.—A few years
since, a Frenchman by the name of Lafay— or so pro
nounced—who lived alone in a cabin on tho banks of
the Wabash, about three miles below this place, on
tho Illinois side, w^fonnd dead in his yard, being
shot through the h«| with a rifle. He kept a wood
yard, and ft was generally supposed that he had a
largo amount of money about the house. No clue to
the rauaderer, or how muoh money was got, has ever
been discovered. About a year since, a brother of
tbe murdered man camo on from France and took
possession of his property, and has been living in tho
snmo honso entirely alone in like manner. A few
days since Borne body went to tho home and found
him at the front door dead, and the body bearing the
appearance of having lain so several days. A coron
er's jury examined the body and found tho mark of a
bdekshot Immediately below tho eye, which had
ranged down Into the throat and caused his death.—
No trace of tbo murderer has yet been discovered—

Deodorizing Influence oe Coffee—Coffee ia
ouo of tho most powerful means, not only rendering
animal and vegotablo cfflnvia innocuous, but of actu
ally destroying it. A room in which meat in an ad
vanced degroe of decomposition bad been kopt for
some time, was instantly deprived of all smell on an
open coffijo roaster being carried through tt, contain
ing a pound of coffeo newly roosted. Evou the smell
of musk and castoroum, which cannot be ovorpower-
edby any other nubatance known to us, is completely
dispellod by tho fumes of cofibe: and tho same ap
plies to tbe odor of aasafatida. It was remarked,
however, that in general, animal effluvia aro more
readily effected by it than odora of vegetable origin.

cles in the periodical* on the Wonders of the Mloroaoope

wish to make the works of nature appear more won-
derfol than they ere, have thus misrepresented tbe
subteot. We have taken the followiog from Harper’s
Magonns, ot May, 18531—
“ ImUHTAirra at a dbof of watss.»»— “ Submitting a glo

Water is a compound of two gasses—two parts bo-
Ing Hydrogen, and one part being Oxygen; and tho
existence of Aonmslcoles In it, is altogether depen
dent on the certain causes, principally on its oontoct
with vegetable matter j thus, it yon take a bowl of

so minute that-84,000,000 can swim about la ono

In the out. ana by tho article referred to, we would
bo led to believe, that all tbe specimens named, were
contained in oho drop; but so far from this boiug the
caso, very Tow are found in tho snmo waters or locali

only foand in the clear running water, where there is
plenty of vegetablo matter growing. The Telescope
is us used to show forth God’s wonders, in his vast

who would state to an onlightoad audlcnco that the
Moon was made of green obeeso. And yet Dr. Lard-
ner stated before an audience, some years since, at
the Tabernacle, (when exhibiting tho Hydro-Oxygen
Microscope) that tho blood iutbo human system con
tained all th«» animals in creation, which wero run
ning through the veins and artorleB—such as lions,
tigers and elephants; people believed it, yet he never
attempted to show it. The Microscope shows God’s
work m his miuuto creations, and ail facts advanced,
any person can have au opportunity of proving, and
its needs no exaggeration to make it a subject of
wonder and a delightful study. No person can look
on tho beautiful structure of minute creation, with
out saying with the Psalmist, “ The works of the
Lord are great, sought out of all them who have
pleasure therein.” A. Starr, Microscopist.
Disappointed Hopes.
During the past week, while the distribution of
premiums among tbe pupils attached to one of the
public school districts, was progressing at the Smith
sonian Institution, we especially noticed a little boy,
who seemed to be particularly happy whilo survey
ing tbe beautiful grouping of happy faces around
him, and listening to the vocal and instrumental mel
ody which diversified the exercises. He was appa
rently interested in every movement: and ns one of
tho trnstees entered with an armful of diplomas,
each tied with riband, and another of the Board with
a large hunch of silver medals, and deposited the
articles on tho table within tbe railing, his bright
eyo anxiously watched the proceeding; and he doubt-
leoa was animated by a hope that one of tho shining
badges of merit would soon glitter on his bosom.
Tho preliminaries to the distribution being over,
and tho orator having taken hb< scat amid the plaud
its of five hundred D»ys and girl.+—the fnturo men
and woraon of tho Republic—the long-wished for mo
ment arrived for tbo awards. Names were severally
called,and pupils of both sexes gladly stepped for
ward to receivo the premiums. Our little friend had
turned pale, bis lip quivered, bo had ceased to exhibit
in his countenance tno rosy light with which tho oc
casion had at first invested it. Ho hurriedly wiped
away a tear, and then nerved himself for tho severe
contest—to suppress the deep grief within, which
fiercely struggled for an outward exhibition. Ho had
set bis heart upon a Medal, aud wqs disappointed.—
Seeking an early escape from the hall, ho found in
solitude the relief which his wounded heart required.
Ero this he may havo recovored from hia recent tri
als. As the rainbow is reflected from the shower, so
may a bright future sparkle from his tears. With a
determination to excel his bcIiooI companions in tbe
days to come, lie can win the prize. Boys iiavo their
troubles and their disappointments, hut when they
shall have attained to manhood, with its more re
sponsible and weighty cares, (oppressive as they
may regard tho present,) they will, whilo struggling

The Death of Infants.
Those who never lost a child are unable to under
stand bow great avoid the death of one little one can
make. There is, we think, notbingon earth that can
cast so long and wido and black a shadow os u small
coffin. It is emphatically tho shadow of death which
freezes tbe parent’s heart.
Small as is an infant's tomb, it sometimes Is capa
cious enough to bold all the brightest hopes and dear
est joys of a whole family circle. Tho little child 1h
often the bright focus where ail the rays of gladness
centre, and from which they are reflected again over
brppy hearts; aud when this central light is eclipsed
groat darkness falls upon all.
How many there mast bo iu heaven, gathered up
from all dimes, even from hearthun shores, who have
died so young as to retain no memory oi earth, and
to whom that world of glory seems as their native
land—whoso souls were washed and regenerated so
early that no stain of this world was over visible up
on them.
Whatever wound of sin there may have boen has
healed without a scar; their every thought has been
moulded by the society and scenery of heaven, and
they stand continually ^before tbe face ot tbe Father.
In uow largo a sense may we say, “Of such Is tbe
kingdom or heaven ?”
Civility Is o Fortune-
Civility is a fortune in itself, for a courteous man
always succeeds in lifo, nnd that even when peraonsof
ability sometimes fail. The famons Duke of Marl
borough is a case In point. It was said of him, by
ono cotemporary, that his agreeable manners often
converted an enemy into a friend ; and by another,
that it was the more pleasing to be denied a favor by
his Grace, than to reoievo one from other men. Tbe
Gracious manners of Charles James Fox preserved
him from personal dislike, even at a timo when ho
was politically tho most unpopular man in tho king
dom. The history of our own country Is fall of ex
amples of success obtained by civility. The experi
ence of every man furnishes, if be will but recall tho
post, frequent instances where reconcillatory man
ners have made the fortunes of physicians, lawyers,
and divines, politicians, merchants, and, indeed, in
dividuals of all purenits. In boingfintroduced to a
stranger, his affability, br tho. reverse, creates Instan
taneously a prepossession In bis behalf, or awakens
unconsciously a prejudice against him. To man, ci
vility is, in fact, what beauty ia to woman; it is a
S oncral passport to favor ; a letter of recommenda-
on written in a language that every stranger under
stands, Tho best of men havo often injured them
selves by irritability and consequent rudeness, as the
greatest scoundrels have frequently succeeded by
their plausible manners. Of two men, equal In all
other respects, tho courteous one bas twice tho cbanco
for fortune.
The happiest man in the world is said to bo a “nig
ger st a dance.” In our opinion tbo rule is too limit
ed. A “ nigger ” is not only happy at a dance but in
every other position. A darkey may he poor but he
fa.never low-spirited. Whatever be earns he invests
In fon and deviltry. Give him s dollar, and In less
than an hoar be will lay seven shillings of tt ont in
yellow heck-ties or a cracked violin. There Is some
thing in the African that sheds trouble as adnek will

mit suicide f The negro la strongly given to love and
iealoaily: bat he has no taste for arsenic. He may
loso bis all by hotting against a roulette, but be don't

Use Fishery (fcrieatlon—British Demands,
A correspondent of tho New York Express says
that tbe British Government has put Toward the fol
lowing demands as the condition for tho settlement of
thp'Flshery Question :
1st. The admission of British bnilt vessels to tho
privilege of American Register.
2d. The free admttsiun of tho British flag to the
coasting trade between tho Americun, Atlantic, and
Pacific Ports.
3d. Tbe abolition of our present benefits to tbe
American Cod fishery.
4tU. A further modlflcatlon of oar Tariff—of course
with a view to favor British interests. And
5th. The original demand df reciprocity of trado
with the Nortli American colonies.
Those domands, if correctly stated, are too unrea
sonable to secure even the respectful consideration of
Congress, and have already put a close to the negotia
tions thnt were in progress. It will bo seen that every
one of the items would require the Legislative action
of the two houses before any treaty stipulation of the
kind could go into effect. To grant them would be in
direct and obvious opposition to tbe Interests of our

Reefing TorsAiLS^—We are informed that a most
important invention lias just been perfected for the
purposo of reefing topsuils, claiming tho following
advantages: First—Tlie topsail can be reefed from

on deck, rendering it unnecessary to cull all hands
for the purpose. Second—Tbo topsail can bo reefed
without laying the sail aback, or chauging tbe angio
of tho topBall yard—a moRt important consideration
when beating m a narrow passage, or when it is an
object to save timo. Third—The reefs ore made much
snugger, stronger, and handsomer, than by tbo old
plan. Fourth—The topsail can be reefed in less than
ono qnnrter of tho time required by tho old plan.—
Fifth—Tho woigiit of rigging aloft is lessened rather
than Increased. Sixth—Tho plan can bo adapted to
the present rig of vessels at small expense. The in
