IIo would also coll the particular attention of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su perior stylo of teeth, set on gold plate; for beauty, strength and life-like appeaeanee, they are not surpassed. As un impression has been made that piy prices for dental opera tions aro higher than the usual run of Den tists, I beg leave to say that they ore thosame as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon and Savannah, For Artificial Work my char ges are as follows: Entire Sots Uppor and Lower from$100 to $250 Half Sots, Upper or Lower, from 60 to 180 Temporary Sets, Upper and Lower, 28 each.

J. B. MURPHY, Roue, Sept. 14,1859.-tf. Political Gleanings. The New York News (Dera.) rejoices over the Union of the Douglas and Dell men, iff that State, against Lincoln, and says: The vote of New York Is thus secur ed against Lincoln. There is ii> this union of all the conservative elements in the State nothing which can justly be considered as a breach of party obli- tlons or a sacrifice df.principle on ei- erside. We are united on the broad ound of devotion to the Union and in opposition to the dangerous heresy of hostility, lasting and irreconcilable, with Southern Institutions. This per nicious and pestilent doctrine is obnox ious to a majority pf the people of the State, and to jdlow a minority, aid ed. by ' disagreements on less impor tant issues, to carry its vote, would argue little for the intelligence and patriotism of the great body of elec tors. The friends of Messrs. Bell and Ever ett, in acceding to an arrangement with the friends of Messrs. Douglas and John son, have not compromised either the sincerity of their preferences or surren dered their distinctive principles. It may be that through this means Messrs. Bell and Everett may be called on in the mode pointed out in the Constitu tion to direct the destinies ot the coun try. We shall cordially acquiesce ita this verdiet—we shall feel that the Un ion is safe; and though we would have preferred that a democratic Administra tion should be in power, we Silly, an alternative that wil ger our existence as a nation, or weaken the bonds of fraternity which have sus tained our Union. Barbarity in Massachusetts. The Boston Express, alluding to the late developments concerning the West- boro’“Reform” School, uses the follow- , e start with disnqay and horror at learning that here, in the very heart of Puritanism, in the stronghold .of the saints, in the home of the regenerators of society, in an establishment espeoial ly appropriated for the development of the action of the new prin-’-’- of social- amelioration—cruelty, surpassed in the dungeons of Naples, has been - exercised in the Black Holes at Westboro’. And no one i* respon- XI , *A tyranny that is irresponsible, cruelty that is altogether absolute,- exercised.

Passing along ourstreets the nextddy after the' announcement of the death of Prince Jerome Bona parte, I saw his wife-Miss Patterson-now near her eightieth year, walking out, in her usual costume, unconcerned as if nothing had'happened. She certain ly ’ M sppened. . knew the fact : but knowing hereo- centrcities.I was not surprised. 1 It is no uncommon thing to see this venerable lady in' the public marts attending per sonally to business.

He every thought is replete with favor itism for royalty. Republics she es teems common, ungrateful; and now, though.a citizen of Our domain, and without anything special to plume her self upon touching imperial favors, she lives in the ideal of la France. Her greatest ambition is to hear of her grand son—young Jerome—now in the French army, rising to honor and imperial dis tinction, A large portion of her annu al income, which is very large, is appro- mated to his service.
