Everybody taiketl about the race, and everybody wore either the Oxford or Harvard colors. From eaTly in the morning until late in tho afternoon vehicles of all descriptions, heavily ladon with swelter ing people, crowded all tho roads leading to the course. The day was hot and tho crowd was hot. The roads in the vicinity of Putney, Ham mersmith, Chiswick, Barnes, Mortlake, etc., were thronged with pedestrians. Tho railway companies found themselves almost unable to provido cars sufficient to carry the vast num bers in waiting at the depot Dukes, coster mongers, princes, cordwainers, lords, fishmon gers, carls, and rouglis poured to tho river bank in ono conglomerated mass. Many ladies wero present, ilooms commanding views of the course were rented at fabulous prices. Homo brought as high as XI00. SCENES ON THE RIVER. The steamer London Pride .was anchored nbreast of the Thames Conservatory yacht, i he I rince of Wales, it is affirmed, stood npon her deck surrounded by several members of the royal family. All carried large lorgnettes. The umpire's boat was but a fow feet distant. Thom as Hughes, the umpire, was surronnded by a group of diRtingumUed gentleman, among them Mr. Gladstone, Bulwer Lytum, tho Count de PariH, John Stunrt Mill, Charles Roade, and others. Tho arrangements boing nnder tho di rections of tho Thames Conservators, that body of gentlemen exerted themselves to tho ntrnost to insaro “a fair field and no favor” for the two crows. The captains of steamlmats on the riv er woro served with printed instructions forbid ding them to come beyond a mark mapped ont by buoys across tho river, and tho river police wero activo in keeping back and arresting tho progress of craft that now and again shot ont boyond tho prescribed limits. In fact, tho ar rangements wero ns perfect as mortal man could mako them. OONDITION OP THE CREWS. Tho Harvnrds remained in their quarters du ring tho groater part of tho day. A great many American and English gentlemen called npon them, but fow wero admitted. It was freely as sorted that tho American crow were overtrained. Tho condition of Simmons and Boring was tho subject of frequent comment Tho former was suffering from diarrhoea, and tho latter was troubled with an angry boil. Tho American creyr. however, wero quito confident Biaikio BOH m «h Word wore smiling faces, and occa sionally took tho long odds offered on tho Eng lish crow. Kolly was cool and calculating, and said but little. Some of the members of tho American legation appeared despondent, but with this exception, all seemod confidant of a tight race, with a good squaro chanco for on Amoricnn victory. During the day tho Oxfords kept quiet. None but favored friends were welcomed to their head quarters. A fow of tho English nobility and a linlf dozon boating men and collegians remained with them until late in tho afternoon. AU of their friends woro enthusiastic, and freely of. forod two to ono on their success. Tho crew wero in tip-top condition. They based their hopes of victory npon their snperior bottom. .It was generally conceded that Harvard wonld take the lead and keep it as far as Hammersmith Bridge. “ Bat thoy can't stay,” said Yarhor- ongli, you may bo sure of it.” This seemed to bo tho general opinion of tho vast masses of Englishmen that lined tho banks of the river. THE JlETTDiO AND THE srECTATOBS. Tho Thames was fringed with veiling specta tors. Evory available boat and housetop was covered with men nnd women. Tho hotting was lioavy. Too long odds olTcrvd on Oxford was freely talTen by tho Americans and soino of tho English. Kolloysays that over a million pounds sterling wero wagered in Loudon alone. Many of the ladies wore tho magenta colors of Har vard, nnd ventured sovereigns on the skill and endurance of tho Americans. THE CREWS ON THE RITEtt. The Oxford crew glidod out of tho London boat-houso at n quarter of fonr. Their ap- pearanco was tho signal for an imuiouso cheer, which was carried up and down both bnnks of tho river for miles. As thoy paddled toward I tho Star nnd Garter their long sweeping body stroko elicited another cheer, and drew out a thousand exclamations of admiration. Tho snn was shining brightly, and tho water was nearly ns smooth ns a mirror. Soarcely a breath of air was stirring. Tho oars of the sturdy English men rose and fell like tho steady sweep of an onglo’s^'mg. Their bodies wero bare and their skins wore well tanned. Turning off at tho Star and Garter, they swept down to the start ing-post at Putney Bridge, where another cheer mounted tho air nnd was wafted np the river.— Their stroko was moderate, and their faces bore tho calm, impcrtnrbed look peculiar to English sporting men. Fivo minutes elapsed. Tho Harvards spurted ont in tho stream. Another cheer flew over the vAst multitude, bnt it lacked the volume of its predecessor. Naked to tho waist and bronzed, tho shoulder-blades of the Harvards rolled in thoir sockets, nnd their oars took tho water with marvellous precision. Down toward the stake- * boat they sped with the grace of a water-fowl. Tho multitude waved their handkerchiefs, and sent spasmodic cheers in the wake of the gal lant crow. The Oxfords spoke not a word ns tho Harvards ranged themselves at their side. Tho vast crowd became breathless with excito- mont. * “OrF, GEXTLF.SIEN ! ” The tiny stems of the spear-l’ke boats were ranged on a level. Tho crews hold the oars in readiness. Not even a whisper was heard. A slight nervousness, however, was observed in the movemont of Simmons. Loring sat like a statye, eager-eyed and immovable. Little Bum- barn furtively glanced at the Oxford coxswain, and silently awaited the word. The English crew sat with their bodies bent to the front and arms extended solid and apparently indifferent. The Harward crow had won the toss for the po sition, and chose tho Middlesex side, tho outside of the semi-circle. It was fivo o’clock fourteen minutes and six and a half seconds. Tho tide was sluggish, and a light Southwest breeze pre vailed, with the water ns smooth ns a mirror. There was a moment of dead silence. “ Off, gentlemen 1” said tho starter, in a dear bass voice. And thev were off—off like the wind. The judges clicked the springs of their watches. At the same moment an anxious spectator knocked Tom Hnghes' hat into the water with his elbow. The Harvards were first to catch the water and took the lead, gaining rapidly npon their oppo nents, making forty-five strokes per minute against the .Oxfords forty. - » THK RACE. There was a flutter among the vast multitude lining the banks as the Harvards sped to the front. A million eyes were fixed upon their flashing oars. At Bishop's Creek, three fur longs from the bridge, they had gained half a length and were still gaining. Their quick stroke seemed to sing a song of triumph. They reached the Willows, and the stem of their boat was even with the bow of the Oxfords. Hero there was an evident slack in their speed, and the Oxfords crept np a quarter of a length. A nest of cheers from Beverly rang out a story e£ English satisfaction. Three-quarters of a mile was thrown to the rear, and still the Americans held a good lead. At Craven Point the Oxfords doggedly maintained their provoking steady drag, while the Harvards spurted ahead like mad. Dung W harf and Hose Cottage flew bv two! o a ^ f TTf yl ‘ ght WftS °P«°cdb«tween the two boats- The gap was increased nntil at Crab- ? mlle and eight from the start. At the aWd n< Tb he Araeric “* were folly two lengths ^ l ?‘* 7 '* rere pulling at the rate of fortv. ^ Pfruunute, the Oxfords holdi£g ‘ Lhlrt y-' u K ht strokes. Above thi point the coxswain of the Harvards hugged the Middlesex shore, and the Oxfords slightlv S!*® n ® d . th . e , i V pee<1 At the ““P works, ’a a haIf from the acqueduct, they had , e 'Lf b ® K a P’ and Harvard held a lead of half a length by the skin of their teeth. HAMMERSMITH BRIDGE was f]ead ahead, and both boats wero going for it like terrified water spiders. The bridge was reached, and a subdued murmur from the spec tators above reached the ears of the rowers as they entered its shadow. From the soap works to the bridge Harvard went with magnificent speed, but in shooting the bridge their distance was lost. Opposite the middle wall the Oxfords sported and came np gradually to the Harvards. but when opposite ‘‘the Doves,” the boats were found to be too close together, and the Harvards gave way. At “Chiswick Ait,” (2\ miles,) the boats wero “level.” After proceeding fifty yards farther, the Oxfords began to gain, though tem porarily, and the Harvards again got even with them. Oxford gained rapidly at Chiswick, where it became clear that the pace apparently told on the Harvards, who wero rather wild at this part of the race. From this point tho OXFORDS RAPIDLY DREW AHEAD. and in a few strokes obtained a lead of two lengths. The Harvards, rowing pluckily, held them there for half a mile, when they fell astern, and Oxford, at thirty-eight strokes per minute, shot Barnes’ Bridge (3 1-2 miles) three lengths ahead. Along Barnes’ Beach tho Harvards refreshed their stroke (Mr. Loring) with river water, there by retarding tho boat. The Americans then tried to Rpurt, bnt found the effort ineffectual, and the Oxford getting more of a lead, eventu ally won the race by four lengths, easing up in the last few strokes and palling np fresh. THE ENGLISHMEN' CRAZY. And then arose a yell of jov from 500,000 English throats. A stranger wonld have thought, to have heard it, that tho whole British nation had bnt just escaped from somo unknown bnt terrific disaster. Hats were thrown in tho air, and hands were shaken in congratulation. When English honor was thus satisfied, a royal ont- biirst of huzzas wero given the Harvards. The Oxford arrived at tho ship at 5 o’clock, .3r> minutes, 47 seconds, making tho 4$ miles in minutes, seconds. Tho Americans were well received at the finish, and returning, landed at Barnes. The race was a good ono, nnd exci ted a degreo of enthusiasm along tho banks of tho river utterly unknown before. Weekly ItoNiimc of Foreign A Hair*. PREPARED FOB THE GEORGIA. TELEGRAPH. Great Britain.—Itev. Dr. Camming has ad dressed a letter to tho Pope begging permission to bo present at the (Ecumenical Council, with n view of explaining tho causes which have separated tho Protestants from the Roman Catholic Church. NIarquis do la Valetlo, tho now French Am bassador nt tho Court of St. Jninos, presented his credentials to the Queen. Gladstone's health is perfectly restored. Tho International Boat Race, on the Thames, between the students of Oxford University, England, and Harvard, America, lias caused an unusual excitement among the phlegmatic English, British superiority in the art of rowing being at stake. Tho anuuftl boat raco of the Oxford and Cambridge students form a part of English national life, and in the month of April always drAws two millions of people to the banks of tho Thames to watch tho result of tho eager contest; and, thongh, in tho last eight years tho Oxford Uni versity invariably has carried off tho palm, the interest felt in tho national sport never decreases, as everybody thinks that this time the Cambridge crow will strain evefry sinowy muscle to conquer thoir opponents.— Tho bold challenge of Harvard had, therefore, roused tho national pride to the utmost degree. Victory aided with tho English, though the Har vard students acquitted themselves Admirably. The English press unanimously favors an an nexation of Cuba to the United States of Amer ica. Reports from all parts of tho Kingdom show that—wheat excepted—tho harvest will yield an average amount this year. Another mass demonstration, favoring tho release of tho Fenian prisoners, in which 20,000 people participated, was made in Drogheda, Ireland. Enthusiastic harangues wero delivered, whilo bands of music played tho most favorite Irish melodies. The resolutions, which were adopted, declare that a continued imprisonment of tho Fonians will l>© nn imprudent, impolitic and unjust measure. France.—The French exiles have gratefully accepted tho Emperor’s amnesty. Felix Pyat, tho boldest representative of red republicanism in 1840, who was banished from his native land when in tho prime of his life, has now returned as a sexagenarian. Victor Hugo, tho author of “Napoleon le Petit,”mil, of course, scorn “tho tyrantV* pardon; his example, however, will bo followed by only a very few. The Emperor has appointed General Leboeuf I as tho successor of Niel in tho ministry of war. ] Ho is slowly recovering. Eugenie has started on her tour to the East. 'Ph© French authorities arrested twelve Carlist Chiefs who were about to cross the Franeo-Span- ish frontier into Spain. News was received in Paris that two French men and ono Belgian, all partisans of tho late Emperor Maximilian, had been arrested in Mex ico as being complicated in the conspiracy against Juarez* life. It was said that the Amer ican Ambassador had declined to interfere in g, •££ JTOfiA y OlZAf Salvatori Patti, tho father of Adelina and Car- lotta Patti, died in Paris. [ Germany.—A direct communication between Swinemnend© and New York by tho steamers of the North German Lloyd is about to be estab lished. Tho Royal Family of Prussia has largely con- tributed to tho subscriptions for erecting in Berlin a monument to Alexander Von Hum- | boldt’g memory. As a remarkable phenomenon, tho fact de serves mentioning that tho Chinese Government seeks in Berlin incumbents for offices in the Ce lestial Empire. In the contest between classical and practical education, which has been going on for some time in Germany, the Chinese seem to side with the champions of classical loro, for they want for their reveauo depart ment young German philologists who have passed through tho classical training of a gym nasium and university. It was hitherto the custom in China to appoint for the seaports for eigners who had mastered several tongues, the Chinese, of course, included. But this system of appointing foreigners without regard to a supe rior education has been fonnd deficient; and the Government wishes to nominate young German philologists, who, by their studies, fur nish the guaranty that they will acquire tho Chi nese language in a far different and more per fect manner than mere practical conversation can impart it. The present foreign officials are said to be incapable of carrying on an official correspondence with the Government. For the first three years the new candidates, who receive at once a liberal salary, are only required to study the Chinese law of import* practically, but the Chinese language theoretic ally and practically; after having then passed through an examination, a brilliant career is waiting for them. _I n Cassel, died Braun von Montenegro, bom 1 *93 in the same city. Under Bolivar, the Lib erator s leadership, he played a valiant part in the war of independence of the South American Republios, and Bolivia nominated him com mander-in-chief of the army. With declining years, he had left the scene of bis chivalrous exploits, to pass the evening of his life in his native land. The exact number of miners killed by the recent explosion near Dresden is now officially stated. It is 2T9, who leave 221 widows and 650 children unprovided for. Italy.—It is positively asserted that the in fallibility of the »Pope 'and the spiritual and bodily ascension of the Holy Virgin will bo pro claimed by the Rc*nan Council. Pius IX has ordered a magnificent monument to be erected in memoriam, which will be inau gurated before the departure of the Bishops. [ Spain.—The reports from Spain are very nn, | reliable. Though the C&rlist movement was considered to have signally failed, new bands are forming in all parts of the country. To fill the cup of misery, dissensions are reigning in the Cabinet. Topete threatens to resign if his colleague Zorilla persists in his severity towards the militant bishops^ The Bishop of Jaen contests th&t the Regent has any right to issue a decree calling upon the bishops to warn the clergy against tho insurrec tion ; he will appeal to the Holy See. Considering the overwhelming difficulties the Cortes is already convoked for the loth of September. The Volunteers have petitioned the Govern ment to spare the life of Polo, who was recent ly captured at the head of an ^armed Carlist band. Fifteen thousand workingmen have struck for higher wages in Barcelona. Yet. despite all these calamities at home, the sale of Caba is more doubtful than ever, for an other reinforcement of G,000 men will shortly sail for the theatre of war. Austria.—President Pulski made the follow ing declaration in the sub-committee of the Hungarian Delegation for foreign affairs. Tho Delegation approves of non-intervention in Ger man affairs, and hopes, out of respect fak the doal basis on which the equilibrium of pfrties depends that our foreign minister will ptusue the same policy in the future. As Hungary does not desire to extend her possessions in the East, the equilibrium between the two halves of the monarchy would be destroyed if a greater influence wero gained in Southern Germa ny. The policy of Hungary with respect to Germany is tho preservation of the “status quo.” He also expressed a wish for more cor dial relations with Berlin, and regretted that misunderstandings with Prussia still occasional ly occurred. Russia.—Tho news of the suicide of Komis- sarow, who saved the life of the Emperor Alex ander is denounced by the Russian papers 03 a malignant falsehood, as well as the statement that this young man had become a drunkard.— He is attending to his military duty as officer of a regiment of hussars, and employing his leis ure time in improving his education. Tho na tional subscription taken up for him amounts so far to 70,000 roubles. Though he is not known to have taken a temperance pledge, he is noted for his sobriety and excellent character. Turkey.—The Turco Egyptian difficulty is settled to mutual satisfaction. Ismail Pasha will pay a visit to his suzerain in Constantinople. A gigantic fire distroyed 1,300 business houses and 300 private residences in Ganina. Greece.—The project of a canal through tho Isthmus of Corinth has been laid before the chambers. SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS. The news from tho South American Repub lics, which really represent despotic govern ments of tho most degenerate kind, with tho exception of Chili and Pern, is but a melan choly talc of chronic warfare, misery and woe. In Venetttela, Generals Monagas and Pnlgar aro contending for tho empire. Monagas is laying siego toMaracaibo, which city is defended by the latter. In Ecuador tho President of tho Republic has transferred the reins of government to General Garcia Moreno, who celebrated his ascension to snpremo power by banishments and execu tions. The new Constitution invests all power in the Government The Roman Catholic faith is de clared the religion of the State; no other form of worship is tolerated. The Government has the right to banish qll foreigners whom it considers tho enemies of public peace. United States of Columbia.—Mosqnera was defeated in the Presidential campaign. A riot took place in the capital and the people and soldiery met in a bloody encounter. Another revelation is soon expected. Bolivia.—Largo coal mines wero discovered in tho District of Copacabana, along tho banks of tho river Titicaca. ■ Great disatisfaetion prevails among tho In dians. Several regiments were sent to check them. Pntu.—Pern is progressing, and directs her attention toward tho construction of railway and telegraph lines. There are prospects that she will soon bo connected by telegraphic wires with Panama. A million dollars for this purpose has been subscribed in Europe. Several slight shocks from earthquakes wero felt again in Lima. Chill—Tho Indians in Araneania, who have made no new invasions, show friendly disposi tions toward tho Chilians. Tho prizes for tho exhibitors of the Agricul tural Exposition were distributed in Sant Jago. Several Americans obtained prizes, bnt the greatest number were nwnrded to tho English exhibitors. Jabno.

SCHOFIELD’S PATENT COTTON PRESS. fPHIS PRESS mu ; tcommond itself to the cotton planters of the Southern States for ita durability, »»m- JL plicity of construction, and ease with which itcan be orerated by cither hand, horse, water or steam power, the change from one to the other being effected in a lew minute?. A great advantago this Press *o?ses?es, is that it occupies for hand power only a space of fourteen feet square, and may be placed and operated in the Gin House, thus avoiding the necessity of taking cotton out of he bouse to be packed. It can be used in any kind of weather; the Press being in. the house, rainy days a-er.o obstacle to packing, as i« the case with wooden screws. Another advantage i?, when you get i*chofield’s Press, you have a Press for all time, and one not liable to decay or breakage, as is the ca e with the old wooden screws, and most otheriron screws and presses This is evident from the fact that the screw is iron, cither wrought or cast, and tho frames are of wrought iron, and no part of the Press liable to decay touches the ground. The frames may be made of wood, at the option of the planter. Planters may purchase either the screw and out alone, and put the frame and box of wood to it themselves, or may purchase the screw, nut and iron frame?, and put the wooden box to it, or they may purchase the Press complete, with screw, nut, iron frames and box, making the most cotn- pleto l'resj in use. Presses complete, ns lost named, aro in more general use, and give great satisfaction to all parties using them, as will be seen from letters in my possession. Parties in need of Cotton Presses would do well to call, if possible, and examine mine; or if they should favor me with their order, they may rely upon getting a Press that is all I cairn for it. A •• . . Having the most extensive Iron Works in the city, and tho greatest variety of patterns of all kinds, I am able to furnish parties with any kind of machinery or castings at short notice. J.

The other is a case of scrofula of lone standing, which is rapidly improving under its uso, nnd the indica- ; tions are that the patient will soon recover. | I have carefully examined the formula) j by which your Rosadnlis is made, and find , it an excellent compound of alterative in gredients. 1 Dr. Sparks, of Nicholasville, Ky„snysbe 1 has used Rosadalis in cases of Scrofula and Secondary Syphilis with satisfactory re sults—as a cleaner of tho B4ood I know no better remedy. i Samuel G.
