The following is a sample of the manner 1 n which Humbugs are “done up” by our Yankee k e 11. 4» is part of the. country is wild with excitement. The i ininense snake, with various descriptions of which the papers have ls?en crowded for two weeks back, bat length captured. You have undoubtedly heard all the particulars of his appearance, the many doubts and sneers as to the existence of a luiu. natural oilbln oliavuv ter in a lake but fbur miles long and not quite three quarters of a mile in width. At any rate it Ims newer been doubted. Daniel Smith an old whaleman, came hew about two weeks since, after hearing of the appearance of the creature, and while here had the good fortune to see him. He immediately sent to New York for an okl shipmate of his and his “irons,” and on Friday last noth arrival with harpoons cordage anfl everything necessary to secure a monster. Many st rangers who arc stopping at the Walker House in this city, attracted to this part of the country bv the excitement in regard to the monster, and who hud obtained no glipmse of him, laughed at them for their pains, but they kept on with their preparat ions in spite of sneers and ben. Boats have been stationed all over the lake for upwards of eight •lays, and the two whalemen had a sharp I<»<4c <mt kept all 1 lw* time, l»eside watching them selves. This lake has several outlets, the largest of which runs through this village and finally emp ties into or lieeomra the Geneasee River. In tbe vicinity of lids outlet he was seen first, and on Sunday he came to the surface, displaying about 30 feet of his sinuous body, remaining, however, but a v»ry few moments. The wliale nien had 1,200 fifct of whale lint* in their bout, the end of whifch run ashore and fastened to a tree. On Monday morning everything was on the alert. The shores were lined with town’s and strangtrs, anti everybody seemed excited: About 9 o’clock the ani mal made his appearance between the whale men's boat and the shore, revealing twenty or thirty feet of his length. He lay quiescent up on the surface, when the whalemen's boat mov ed slowly toward Inn. Mr. Smith of (loving- Um, poising a Lilly-iron in the air, (a Lilly-iron is a patent liarpoou, w heavy cutting knife be ing attached by ths middle to the end of the iron by a rivit. As ioon iw the knife enters the body of an animal this movable blade turns at right angles to the wound, and being entire ly blunt and Hat on one side, it is impossible to extricate it except by cutting out. When they had got about ten feet from the animal the iron whistled through tbe air and went deep into his body. In a moment the whole length of the monster wm lushing the air, at a bound revealing hw whole enormous Isngth, aud then making the water boil in every direction; he described rapid foaming circles, and arcs of circles, with such a swiftMM the eye would scarcely follow him. Then be darted off in another direction toward the upper part of the lake, the suddenness of his movement almost dragging the bout under water. Line was gradually given him, and, al ter the space of half an hour, it was plain that his strength was almost exhausted. The whale men then came ashore, and gradually Imuld the line in. The body was within fifty feet of the shore, when renewal life appeared to have been given him, and with one dart he carried nearly nil the line out. This was the lust great effort. He was slowly dragged ashore, amid the wild est excitement and tumult ever known in the vicinity of Silver l«ake. Four or five ladies fainted upon seeing tlie monster, who although ashore, was lashing his body into tremendous folds, and then straightening himself out in his agony, with a noise and power that made tlie very earth tremble around him. The harpoon hud gone entirely through a thick muscular ;surt of him al>out eight ieet from his liead. The snake or animal is tifly-niuc teet five inches in length, ami is a most disgusting look ing creature. A thick slime covers his hide >us length, a quarter of an inch thick, which aftv btwg removed, ii almost iortanUy replaced by THE DAILY EXAMINER. exudation. The. body of this creature is variu- \ ble in size. The head is about the size of a full grown culfs; within eight feet of tbe head of the i neck gradually swells up to the thickness of a foot in diameter, which continues for tffteen | inches, and then tapers down the other way, con-| stoutly increasing in size, however, as it recall's : from the head, until the Ixxly of the monster has a diameter of over two feet in the centre, giving a girth of over six feet. It then tapers off towards tbe tail, which ends in a fin which can be cxpundol in the shape of a fan until it is three feet across, or closed in a sheath. Along the belly, from the head to the tail, are double rows of tins, a foot in length—not opposite each other, but alternately placed. The head is a most singular afiair. The eyes are very large, white, staring and terrific. Attached to the edge of the upper and lower lids, which are like those of a human being, a transparent film, or membrance is seen, while it protects the eye of the animal, does not intefere with its vision. He has no nostrils, or gills ap parently. The mouth of this serpent, or what ever it may be, underneath is almost the. coun terpart of the mouth of the fish culled a sucker, possessing the same vavulgar power, pursed up —but it can be stretched so as to take in a body of the diameter of a foot and a half. No teeth can be discovered. A hard bony sub stance extends m two parrailel lines around the upper and lower part of the head. His color is a dusky brown on the sides and back,, and un derneath the belly it is of a dirtywhite. It is sinuous like a snake, but has along iss back, and on each side, a row of hard substance, knob like in shape—the largest raised fbur inches from the surface of the body, extending from the head to tail. The news of bis capture spread like wildfire, and before night hundreds, and hundred of peo ple from the neighboring towns and villages had collected to see this wonder. The animal still has the harpoon in him. It passed tlirough the muscular portion of the back and touched no mortal part. He lies in the water, an ingenious contrivance of ropes having beeu placed ou him while he was on shore, keeping his body in a curve, preventing him from getting away or proving dangerous. Lie cun use but his head and tad, with which he occasionally stirs up the water all about him for rods. He keeps his head under water except when he rears it up as if looking around, and presents a most fearful aspect. When rearing he expands Ids inquth and exhibits a cavity blood-red, most terrible to look upon. As he does this air rushes forth with a heavy, short puff'. I have no more time to write you. The hotel is full, and people have great difficulty in getting a meal in the village. Boiue of them go up to Castle to get their meals. The wlialemen contemplate keeping the monster in his present position until an agent of Air. Barnum arrives, who has been telegraph ed. He is expected Itere to-night. Very truly your friend and a subscriber, Heavy Rain IStorm. —Night before last there was tlie heaviest fall of rain in this city -k*M*wn f<w ywwv. About midnight the citizens were startled from their slumber by a tremendous peal from “heaven's artillery,” in stantly followed by such a torrent of rain as brought to mind the time of the universal Hood, when “the windows of heaven were opened and the fountains of the great deep were broken up.” For the space of two hours the rain poured down with almost undiminished vio violence, amid the constant. Hashing of lightning and the crashing of heavy thunder, such as is rarely heard, save in a tropical climate. Much damage was done to property by the filling up of cellars in which goods were stored, and the un dermining of the foundations of houses in pro cess of building. A fine two-story brink buikl ing by Mr. Augustine Shoemaker, on Ijombard street, was washed down anil is a mass of ruins A portion of the now branch sewer, on Second street, also gave way and caved in. The first story of the Empire Stone Works was almost entirely submerged, the engine; and boilers being covered mon* than two feet with water. This resulted from the back water from Chouteau’s Fond, near which it is situatal. the Poplar street sewer being inadequate from obstructions and other causes to carry oft’ all the water.— Much damage was done, the particulars of which we have not learned.— St. Louis, IGt/i cnst. L'hask Him.—A Dutchman was chusol last night into a fruit store,'under the Louisville Ho tel, by party of fellows who were shouting “cutch the d -d Dutchman—kill him.” VVe dodn’t know that ho hud been doing anything, but there is a little too much of this Huismg.

SUBSCRIPTION ONLY One Dollar per annum. The Weekly Examiner will after the first day of August next, he issued to subscribers, at the low price of ONE DOI,LAR per annum, paya able invariably in advance. Many reasons have induced the proprietor of this paper to embark in an enterprise never be fore attempted in the South, and which has proved, not only successful in the Anti-Slavery States North and West, but has received a pat ronage iu the Slave States, that had better be con fined. though at greater expense, to the South ern Press. To obviate, tnen, the objection, as far as we can, to the price of the Weekly Examiner, we from and alter the period designated will forward I it to subscribers at one dollar, per annum, and , this will place it within the reach of the poor, as | well as the rich. To politics, news, and literature, the Examiner will be devoted. Our position in regard to the first is already well understood. It is unnecessa ry, therefore, to say more than that it sustains and will sustain, the DEMOCRATIC ANTI KNOW NOTHING PARTY of Georgia and the I nion, to which the South can look, with confidence, to the maintenance of her rights, and a strict adherence to the Constitution. The NEWS DEPARTMENT of this paper shall be unsurpassed by any weekly paper in the South. Atlanta occupies a position, and embra ces facilities, for the receipt and transmission of NEWS, unequalled in the South. Every ad vantage will be taken of these, to make the EX AMINER a valuable news paper to our farmers, who, in the main, subscribe for weekly papers only. The Literary and Miscellaneous Department will also receive a large share of attention. During the session of our Legislature, one of the Editors will be present to report the proceed ings of that Body, for the Daily Examiner—these reports will be transferred to the weekly and each subscriber to it, will thus have a complete history of the session. A correspondent to furnish the proceedings of Congress, and a New York correspondent, have also been engaged. In short, every thing that can reasonably be expected of a weekly paper, will be laid before the subscribers to the Exam iner. ! A large and fine assortment of new typo has been ordered, and is now on its way from New York. We hope to receive it in time for our next week s issue, when not only will the ap pearance of our Daily and Weekly be greatly j improved, but a large quantity of reading matter | will be added to both. In adventuringupon this novi enterprise—one , so important to Georgia, and the South—the Pro ; prietor anticipates a generous support. It is the first established paper in the State, or the South, i with a large circulation, that has reduced its | terms, that it may be within the reach of any man. . As such, it is hoped and believed that the enter prise will prosper. We appeal then to the people, to subscribe; particularly do we call upon the DEMOCRACY and ANTI-KNOW NOTHINGS, to stand by us. Send in your orders, by tens and by hun dreds, and we will send you a large, well printed piper equal in its every department, to any week- V Southern paper. MOST IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES Dr. Geissner’s celebrated Menstrual Pills have been long and widely known as invariably cer tain in removing my stoppage, irregularity, or suppression, of the menses. In the Female Hospitals in Vienna, Paris, and Berlin, they have entirely superseded the use of all other remedies ; bectuse, where a cure is attainable by medicinal agencies, they are cer tain of success. Their efliacy would be almost incredible, if not vouched for by indubitable tes timony, in numerous instances producing returns of the monthly period after all hope had been abandoned.
