Prayer of the Betrothed.
A lady in the St. Louis Union, over the sig
nature of Inez portrays her thoughts in the fol
lowing most beautiful verses, on the eve of her
marriage:
Father I come before Thy throne,
With low and bended knee,
To thank Thee, with a erateful tono,
For all Thy love to me.
Forgive me. if my heart this hour
I give not all to Thee.
For deep affection’s mighty power
Divides it notv with Thee.
Thou knowest, Father, every thought
That wakes within my breast,
And how th s heart has vainly sought
To keep its love suppress’d.
Yet when the idol, worshipped one
Sits fondly by m» side,
And breathes tho vow 3 I cannot shun,
To me, his destined brido—
Forgive, me, if the loving kiss,
He leaves upon my loving brow,
Is thought of in an hour li 1 e this,
And thrills me even now.
He's chosen me to he his love
And-.r.rnforter through life;
Enable me, oh God, to prove
A loving faithful wife.
He knows not. Father, all the deep
Affections I control —
The thousand lovirg thoughts that sweep
Resistless o’er my soul.
He knows not each deep fount of lore,
That gushes warm and free ;
Nor can he ever, ever prove
My warm idolatry.
Then guard him. Father—round hla way
Thy choicest blessings cast,
And render each successive day
Still happier than the last.
And, Father, grant us so to live.
That when this life is o'er,
■Within the happy home you give
We’ll meet to part no more,
, Memory While Drowning.
Singular Anecdotes.—One of the most sin
gular features in physiology is the face; which
is perfectly notorious, that the faculty of mem
ory acquires an activity and tenacity, in case
of persons about being drowned, which it nev
er exhibits under ordinary circumstances An
accident occurred some weeks since, at New
York,"which threw a number of persons into
the North river. Among others were Mr.
and his sister, the first named editor of a week
ly paper in Philadelphia. They were both
saved. Mr. describes the sensation while
under water, and in a drowning position, to be
pleasant and peculiar. It seemed to him eve
ry event in his 'ife crowded into his mind at
once. He was sensible of what was occurring
and expected to drown, but seemed only to re
gret that such an interesting “item” as his
sensations would make should be lost.
In noticing this statement in an exchange, I
am reminded of the incident, which, dissimilar
as it is to the one just related in its general fea
tures, had the same remarkable awakening of
the memory, which some cases sometimes ex
hibit. I can vouch for the truth of what follows,
as well as testify to vivid recollections in my
own case, w T hen exposed to the hazards of drown
ing, reproducing in a few moments the events
of my entire past.
Some years since, A. held a bond agr inst. B.
for several hundred dollars, having some time to
run. At its maturity he had put it away so
carefully that he was unable to find it. Every
search was fruitless. He only knew that it
had not been paid or traded away. In this di
lemma he called on 8., related the circumstances
of its disappearance, and proposed giving him a
receipt as an offset, or rather an indemnifying
bond against its collection, if ever found.
To his great surprise, B not only refused to
accept the terms of meeting the difficulty, but
positively denied owing him anything, and
strongly imitated the presence of a fraudulent
design on the part of A. Without legal proof,
and therefore without redress, he had to endure
both the los of his money and the suspicion of
a dishonorable intention in urging the claim.
Several years passed away without any change
in the nature of the case, or of its facts as above
given, when one afternoon, while bathing in
James river, A. either from inability to swim, or
cramp, or some other cause, was discovered to
be drowning He had sunk and risen several
times, and was floating away under the water,
when he was seized and drawn to the shore.
The usual remedies were applied to resuscitate
him, and although there were signs oflife there
was no appearance of consciousness. He was
taken home in a complete exhaustion, and re
mained so for some days.
On the first re" urn of strength to walk, he left
his bed, went to his book case, took a book,
opened it. and handed his long lost bond to a
friend who was present He then told him that
when he was drowni g. and sinking, as he sup
posed, to rise no more, in a moment there s f ood
out distinctly betore his mind, as a picture, eve
ry act of his life, from the hour of his childhood
to *he moment of his sinking beneath the water,
and among the circumstances, that of putting
the bond in a book, the book itself, and the
place in which he had put in the book case.
It is needless to say that he recovered his own
with usury.
There is no doubt that this remarkable quick
ening of memory results from the process which
in such cases is going on—the extinguishing of
life. It is somewhat analagous to the breaking
in of the light of another world, which in so
many well attested cases of death bed scenes
enables the departed .spirit, even before it has
left its ciay tenement, to behold and exult in the
glories of a future state Is it not a fair infe
rence, that when the soul shakes off the clogs
and incumbrance* of the body it will possess ca
pabilities for enjoyment, of which on earth it is
unsusceptible. As regards memory, it will be
observed by most persons how readily we forget
that; which we do not desire to remember, and
in this way we get rid of much unhappiness.
Can we do this after death ! This is an impor
tant practical question.— Cist's Advertiser.
Cuteness of the Boston Gaps. — A New
York youth furnishes the following statement
of his personal experience in Boston, to the edi
tor of the New York Weekly Messenger :
In February last I was in Boston. A friend of
mine, for a joke, advertised for a wife worth one
thousand dollars. A lady answered, requesting an
interview, under the assumed name of “Adelaide
Meek.” I replied to her note, apparently in good
earnest. She wrote again, naming a time and
place to meet. I met her and found her to be
well accomplished, in the first society, with
wealthy connections, &c. She had answered for
a joke. We became interested in each other.
She introduced me to her relations, whom I
found to be of the ton. We were engaged. A.ll
her friends were in favor of the match except
her lather.
The 18th of June was appointed for our wed
ding. I returned to New York in April. She
wrote me three times a week, asseverating that
nothing but death should part us. She wrote to
have me get a certificate from the city clerk
where she lived, and hurry up my cakes. I
have it. She then wrote me that as we were
so soon to be married, she would want a great
many things, and her father, although very
wealthy, would not fit her out, because she
would not marry the one he wished her te ; and
therefore she desired me to send her some mon
ey. I mailed her money in the presence of the
clerk of the post office, to the amount of $603,
since when she will have nothing to do with
me—not even to answer my letters, or give a
reason for cutting me. Now, what course
should I take ? Can I make it a case of false
pretence, or would it be better to bring an ac
tion for breach of promise ? If the latter, must
I not tender her my humble self, prior to the day
appointed for our wedding ? Have I a right to
publish her letters ? If so, it will be a rich treat
for uppf r-tendom. lam bound to have my six
hundred dollars’ worth in some way.
The editor of the Messenger gives the lad the
following “ advice gratis:”
We publish the unhappy experience of a vic
n in search of a wife, with a melancholy pleas
* c or benefit of mankind at large. He
Ur ’ ars *o have been taken in and done for”
a Pl ,e - And to his $603, no complaint be
comp j. justice or dread magnate of the
Kr &i 0..-,, ~ it back to
jaw wu nee, according to the fa
miiiiar e rulingTn eriaHwtf charges of this nature;
the prosecutor must at least have exercised ordi
nary prudence. The law will not punish one
who merely makes a dupe of another. The
question of the publication of the letters is
another horn of his dilemma. She would proba
b y frustrate his* attempts by injunction. Be
tween law and love, his hands and heart are
pretty well bound. We advise him*»to make a
note of his Boston courtship and turn over a new
leaf.

Tremendous Hail Storm—Fatal and Disastrous
Effects near the Crystal Palace, &c.
Yesterday afternoon, between 5 and 6 o’clock,
our city was visited by one of the most tremen
dous hail storms that we ever remember to have
seen. The wind, that during the early part of
the day had been from the northeast, suddenly
veered round to the northwest, and then again
changed to the east, bringing with it a heavy
thunderstorm. The most peculiar phenomenon
was the sudden hurricane, and the storm, not of
bail, or that would be too unmeaning a term to
describe it by, but of pieces of ice, whiclj, came
clattering down upon the roots ot the houses
like a shower of brickbats. Extraordinary as
it may appear, this is the nearest resemblance
that can be given to the noise that the storm
produced ; but singular enough, this phenomenon
was very local, not extending over the whole
citv, for in some parts, the fall of hail had be
come modified into rain, probably having melt
ed in its passage to the earth.
Tn order that our readers may not suspect us
of exaggeration, we have appended two instan
ces of what this hail storm was :
The shipyard of Mr. Thos. Collyer, at the Dry
Dock, was covered with irregularly shaped
pieces of ice, or large clusters of hailstones
Several of them were measured, one of which
was 6f inches in circumference, another 7 in
ches. and a third measured 3 inches long and 2
inches thick.
The inhabitants of a house in Waverly place
were startled by a solid body falling in the front
yard, and on proceeding there found a number of
pieces of ice, which appeared to have been origi
nally one piece broken bv the fall. When to
gether they would weigh about two pounds.
The garden at the back of the house had also a
large number of pieces of ice scattered over it
and a skylight at the top of the house was
smashed by the hailstones.
The noise of the falling hail on the Crystal
palace was tremendous—the dome acting as an
immense drum.
During the storm a most disastrous accident
occurred up.town, by which three persons lost
their lives, and seven others were severely in
jured, some of whom it is expected will not re
cover. The scene of the accident was in Forty
third street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues,
at a newly erected frame building opposite
Latting’s Observatory, which belongs to Dr. S
P. Townsend, and was not entirely completed.
It is also opposite the Crystal Palace. During
the storm this building, which was two stories
high, and roofed in, was overturned instantane
ously by the hurricane that blew about five
o’clock, and levelled in a moment to the ground.
At the time the accident occurred there were
six men employed on the ground floor, plastering
the walls, three ot them as plasterers, one of
whom was the boss, named William McCracken,
and who was killed, with two others. There
were three other laborers on this floor. On the
upper floor there were other workmen employed
in fitting the pipes and other similar work, the
building being intended, we believe, for a saloon,
and in addition to these there was a large num
i ber of people who had sought temporary shelter
when the storm came on. So sudden was the
accident that no time was given for escape, the
whole building being prostrated without even
the shadow of a warning.
About two o’clock in the morning a fire broke
out in a bakery in the Second avenue. One of
the journeymen in the establishment was burn
ed to death ; a family in the building were com
pelled to escape by leaping from a fourth story
window, in the performance ot which hazardous
feat a woman was instantly killed. Just as the
steamer New World was about departing for
j Albany, at seven o’clock, one of her boiler flues
collapsed, causing the death of six persons, and
dreadfully scalding two others. In the afternoon
a hail storm, accompanied by lightning and a
violent wind, passing over the upper part of the
city, during which a new three-story frame
dwelling, in process of completion, in Forty
third street, near the Crystal Palace, was blown
down, burying eight or ten workmen amid the
ruins, three of whom were taken out lifeless.—
Seven others were seriously wounded.
To conclude, a man lost his life by the fall
j of another building in Foity-third-street, near
i the North river; a man was struck dead by a
! flash of lightning, and a child was scalded to
i death—making a total of fourteen persons killed,
and as many others badly injured.
Many buildings were greatly damaged, and a
large number of persons injured by the storm in
Williamsburg.
A telegraphic despatch from Northumberland,
j Pa., states that the harvests and fruit crops in
j that vicinity were greatly damaged by the hail
storm yesterday afternoon. Many of the hus
bandmen, it was reported, would lose their entire
harvests. The lumps of hail there, were of ex
traordinary size, and thousands of windows were
broken. Despatches from Philadelphia and Bal
timore complain of the intense heat There has
been no rain in Baltimore for a month.
To the Public.
LaGrange. July 2, 18-53.
An article having appeared in the “ Savannah
Courier.” entitled “ Si'kness in LaGrange ,” cal
culated to produce an unfavorable impression re
lative to the wealth of this place, the undersign
ed. Physicians of the town, wou'd respectfully
call the attention of tne public to the following
statement of facts :
Ist. The Typhoid Dysentery prevailed in the
town and vicinity, from the middle of April to
about the last of June.
i 2d. In a population of twenty-five hundred
persons, extending over an area of two and a
half miles square, there occurred seventeen deaths
during that lime ; that is, one death to itw
, dred and forty-seven inhabitants.
3d. There is no* a single case of this disease
now in town, and there is no case of serious
i sickness of any kind in the community.
4th. Our Literary Institutions are, and have
been, remarkably healthy during the present
year.
sth. As the tendency ( and perhaps the object )
of many of these reports is to injure the success
of our worthy Institutions of Learning, we
would here state that the health of the town
will compare favorably for the last ten years, to
that of any town or village in the State.
6th. The character of our population, in one
respect, is worthy of consideration. Besides the
permanent residents, there is a transient popu
lation of more than one thousand, many of whom
are Railroad hands, and brick and rock masons,
whose labors and exposures render them pecu
liarly liable to sickness. Add to this the fact,
that there are five or six hundred young per
sons in attendance upon the Schools, and it will
be admitted by every candid mind that we have
no reason to complain.
It is also reported that there has been a great
deal of mortality attending this disease in this
place. We testify that this is not the case. The
per centage of deaths has been very small.
In conclusion, we would express the hope that
the effort on the part of the uninformed , the en
vious and the malicious, to decry the reputation
of this place for health, may prove unsuccessful.
The efforts on the part of our citizens and our
indefatigable Teachers to erect and sustain Lit
erary Institutions of the highest order, have
been crowned with the most gratifying results ;
and we hope that the public mind will not be
affected by the stratagems of those who expect,
by slander, to effect what they cannot do by
genuine merit.

Happy Effect.— The Milledgeville Recorder
tells us that the “ Hon. Robert Toombs, address
ed large and enthusiastic meeting, at Colum
bus and Macon last week. His speeches had a
most happy effect.”
Os the effect at Macon we have no account,
but that contained in the Recorder. That pro
duced at Columbus may be estimated by the
lollowing extract from the Times, of that city :
“ After Mr. Toombs sat down, a zealous Whig
arose and proposer) three cheers for Charles J.
Jenkins. One voice cried out,‘whoo-we,’ and a
dead silence settled over the audience. The old
gentleman was much astonished at his reception,
and gradually sunk to his seat, mumb’ing, ‘I be
lieve it is a failure.' Whether he designed his
remark to apply to his proposition, the speech
of Mr. Toombs, or the nomination of Jenkins,
we are not called on to determine. We think
it equally applicable to all.”— Savannah Geor

AUGUST A, GA.
FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 8.
FOR GOVERNOR,-
HON. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON.
Os Baldwin County.
Canvass of the “Republican Citizens.”
The first demonstration on the stump in be
half of the “Gubernatorial” party since their
attempt to get rid of their old name “ Whig,”
does not seem to have been very happy. Their
best stump speaker, Mr. Toombs, it appears, has
made a very vapid and pointless speech at Ma
con, which did little to shake the convictions of
the sterling Democracy, or to cheer the hopes of
the “ Republican citizens” in that community.
The senatorial robes seem to have brought no
inspiration to the genius of this erratic po’iti
cian, while what has been lost in fire, is not com.
pensated by adding increased dignity to his ap
peals to popular passions, or force to the logic
he addresses to the popular mind.
The Journal Messenger gives the following
account of it:
“The Hon. Robert Toombs addressed the citi
zens ot this place on Thursday evening last, on
the subject of the Gubernatorial Canvass. The
weather was excessively hot, and Mr. Toombs
was laboring under a severe cold, which obliged
him to present to his hearers only a skeleton ot
the remarks which he designed to make. Not
withstanding these drawbacks, his speech, which
was an able, candid, and impartial exposition of
the principles of the Platform upon which Mr.
Jenkins was nominated, was listened to with
marked attention, and his eloquent introduction
of Mr. Jenkins at the close, was received with
rapturous applause. The common remark which
we hear concerning this effort of Mr. Toombs,
is, that it was unusually conciliatory, and our
opponents really have reason to be, and are, no
doubt, much obliged to him for the tenderness
with which he handled their candidate, barely re
ferring to him, and disposing of him almost in a
parenthesis. Mr. Toombs has promised to be
with us again, when, we trust, the weather will
not be as warm as the canvass, and when he will
be prepared for what Wirt used to call a springy
effort.”
As this is a Whig paper which speaks, the
reader is now doubtless prepared to hear that
with all the glossing Whig art can give it, it
was a very tame affair—in short a dead failure.
Even Mr. Toombs must have felt it, as he has
determined to go back and try it Ugain. All
who are conversant with Mr. Toombs’ recklessly
denunciatory style will readily understand that
the friends of Judge Johnson owe him no thanks
for his tenderness. It is on the part of the hon
orable Senator rather an indication of unusual
discretion, than of kindly forbearance. The
! character of Judge Johnson is invulnerable to
assault, and his abilities of that high order as to
render him capable of adorning the loftest sta
tion.
The Macon Telegraph thus describes the show :
“ The speech delivered in this city by Mr.:
Toombs, on Thut day last, was a dead failure.
It mortified his admirers, and must have morti
fied himself. Whether it arose from the exces
sive heat of the weather, or from the apathy ot
the audience—or from the difficulty of sustain
ing a false position, we cannot say; but certain
it is. that for some reason or the other, the dis
tinguished speaker never once rose above that
“ dead level of mediocrity which it is said that
neither gods nor men can tolerate.” The room
was miserably lighted—the applause was mis
erably conducted—the crowd was miserably
hot. The orator himself was perspiring at
every pore, and the smoking lamps exhibited an
audience which seemed far more anxious to get
near a window, than to hear the dull denunci
ations of Plunkett’s imitator. All these circum
stances considered, it was, perhaps, unreasonable
to expect a brilliant and successful oration.
But we confess that we were utterly unpre
pared for the prosy platitudes which formed the
staple of the speech.
“We were unprepared to hear a man, with the
reputation of Mr. Toombs, deliver in tones of
most painful huskiness a labored diatribe which,
compared unfavorably with the effusions of many
a local orator, whose name is never heard bevond
the limits of his native county. The real sub
ject at issue, to wit: the relative claims of Mr.
Jenkins and Judge Johnson, was barely men
tioned. A few rounded sentences, a few vehe
ment gestures. and about twenty, five nods of
the head, which were as much unlike the majes
tic nods of Jove, as anything conceivable, were
all that he vouchsafed to the present canvass.
The great body of the speech consisted in an
atta-'k upon the Administration of Mr P'erce. if,
indeed, we may dignify with the term atlac >,
the succession of shallow non sequitura. with
which, the honorable ge tleman exhausted the
patience of his hearprs, The manner in which
the full missions have been filled, seempd to
awake his especial ire. The five European
Missions were pronounced to have been most
unsafely allotted Our readers will remem’ er
that Mr. Buchanan, who has been unlucky
enough to elicit the praise of Mr Toombs him
self. has the English Mission. The Russian
Mission has been given to Mr. Seymour.of Con
necticut, a gallant soldier in the Mexican war,
and‘a devoted friend to those Compromise mea
sures which Mr Toombs is never tired of laud
ing. The Spanish Mission has been given to
Pierre Soule, who loves liberty so well that Mr.
Toombs calls him a Jacobin, and who has more
than once signalized his fidelity to the South.
Ttw Fwuch Mission is wot yet occupied, and
Mr. Toombs was forced to abuse the Administra
tion in advance. With such men as Buchanan,
Seymour, and Soule representing us abroad, it is
not surprising that the orator could not work
himself into an excitement. When he assailed
Mr. Yroorn of New Jersey, the Minister at Ber
lin, he failed to alarm the audience, for the rea
son that he was very evidently not alarmed
himself. The crowd lolled about on the benches,
and heard his fulmination through, with the
most listless apathy—feeling well assured that
if Peter Vroom was the terrible creature repre
sented, it is much safer to have him in the mid
dle of Europe,than in the middle of New Jersey.”
“ The entire speech was unworthy of Mr.
Toomb’s reputation. It was not only that, but
it was actually dull—dull to ’he last degree
dull as thirteenthly of a doctrinal sermon. We
had no idea that a man of superior talents
could by any possibility make so poor a speech.
We went prepared to hear sophistry, but we ex
pected it to be ingenious sophistry. We went
prepared to hear denunciations, but we expected
eloquent denunciations. In short, we knew
that we should feel disposed to groan, but it
never entered our heads that we should feel dis
posed to yawn. Nevertheless so it was! Mr.
Robert Toombs was tiresome, very tiresome.
That was the general verdict, and that, we ven
ture to say, was the opinion of Mr. Toombs
himself. If it was not, he has not the discrimi
nation for which we have hitherto given him
credit.”
A different result could not be expected, even
when Mr. Toombs may be in his happiest mood
for a stump speech. In vain will he assail Pres
ident* Pierce, and seek to shake the people’ s
confidence in his patriotism, his good sense and
his fidelity to their interest and his duty. Mr.
Toombs’ weapons are blunted. He has dis
armed himself by the truthful testimony he ren
dered in behalf of Gen. Pierce last summer.—
He aided to make Georgia leel safe in trusting
him then. He cannot make them as fickle and
wayward in their opinions as he is himself.
The Democratic party was thought by them
trustworthy then. They think so still. They
did not think the national Whig party was trust
worthy, and unlike Mr. Jenkins, manifested no
very strong desire to unite with it. Neither the
Whig nor the Democratic party has done ought
since to alter the verdict then pronounced’ by
the people.
Quick Travelling. — The Savannah Repub
lican says:—Passengers who left here on the
steamship Augusta, on the 25th ult., arrived at
Portland, Maine, on the 28th, in a little more
than three daya,
Blue Ridge Railroad.
The President of this Company made a com
munication on the sth inst., to the City Council
of Charleston, informing it that a Committee of
the Directors of the Blue Ridge Railroad Com
pany have this day made an arrangement with
W m. D. Swan. Esq., President of the Knoxville
and Charleston Railroad Company,by which that
Company will be brought under the same organ
ization and management as the three railroads
chartered by the States of North Carolina, Geor
gia, and South Carolina, constituting the Blue
Ridge Railroad, and that under a preliminary
agreement, made with Messrs. A. Bangs & Co.,
the construction of the entire line ot Railroads
to Knoxville is provided for.
We regret to learn, says the Charleston Couri
er, of the 7th inst., that the Rev. Dr. Smyth, on
his return from the North, had reached as iar as
Washington City, where he was stricken down
by paralysis. The Southern Presbyterian states
that his family has been sent for, and that his
condition is regarded as extremely critical, and
that even should his life be prolonged, there is
little probability of his ever being able to re
sume his ministerial labors.
The storm ot Friday afternoon, which proved
so destructive in New-York and its vicinity, ap
pears to have extended its violence across the
flats of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, to the
District of Columbia. In Georgetown, and
along the West side of the Potomac river, it
blew almost a hurricane, the streets being
strewn with the broken limbs and branches of
trees.
At Greenwood Cemetery, New York eigh
teen interments take place daily ; and passing
the gateway from morning till night, is a near
ly unbroken line of funeral processions. Du
ring a small portion of the year, the d rily num
ber of interments reach twenty-five or thirty.
The total number of interments since its first
organization to the present time, is twenty-six
thousand four hundred and seventy. The first
interment took place in September, 1848.
It is stated in a Philadelphia newspaper, that
State street, in that city, is five miles long in a
straight line from north to south. It is occupied
with retail shops and stores almost exclusively,
and is the longest street so tenanted and used,
to be found in the new or old world.
Warrf.nton and Macon Railroad. —The
Savannah News says: A private letter from an
intelligent gentleman of Augusta says—“ The
Charleston and Augusta people have decided to
build a railroad from Warrenton to Macon at
once , and com'plete it in two years. Such a road
would be very popular here.”
Stay at Home. —The New York Express
thus truly discourseth:
“ The summer solstice has come and gone, and
with it the longest day of the year. While the
sun is just now reversing her wheels upon Can
cer, citizens are flying by thousands from the
seaside to the woods and from the woods to the
seaside. What discontented mortals we are !
For cool rooms at home we follow steam engines
on the river, locomotives upon the rails, and car
riages amidst clouds of dust. Instead of the
robe de chambre, Croton and seaside baths, the
rest and pleasures of home, we plunge into the
bonds of fashionable dressing and the restraints
of fashionable life. The ceuntry we know is
very beautiful, and never looked more charming
ly than now. But the city, if one is comforta
bly housed in it, with home comforts, and that
sort of castle which one can call his own, is not
so bad a place as many who like to tantalize
their neighbors who have to stay at home would
have the world believe.”

Harmonic Minstrels.
It w T as my pleasure to visit, on last evening,
that enterprising band which has so recently
sprung up in our own State, the Harmonic Min
strels, under the direction of J. Mcßeap, and
must confess my astonishment and surprise at
the degree of ability evinced on their part, con
sidering the brief space of time that has trans
pired since their organization and consequently
insufficient time for the perfection of themselves
in their particular art. I have no hesitancy in
saying that ere long if they continue as a band
and make a wide extent of circuit in their trav
els that they will deservedly obtain the reputa
tion of being unsurpassed by any band of a sim
ilar kind in the Union.
Mr. T. W. Speed possesses a voice as prirno
lenor peculiarly a f tractive, fascinating and eu
phonious, combined with the proper ease and
grace which is requisite on such occasions, ren
ders him replete with int rest. I was much
attracted and entertained in the song termed the
“ O’d Savannah Home.” I deemed this song as
well worth the fee of admission, and advise all
who have not as yet heard it, to embrace the
opportunity.
The audience was kept in a continual state
of laughter at the inimitable puns and gainsay
ings presented by the agile Bujfoonist, C. E.
Lewis, and the droll raillery and antic-jestures
of the Tamborinist, S. H. Rivers. But I cannot
in this short space represent fully their attractive
qualities as Minisfcre/s, but would urge upon
all amateurs to pay them a visit before leaving
our city, and judge for themselves*of their merits,
and to witness the laugable Shakespearean Bur
lesque. Tantalus.
The Weather.
The appearance of the clouds each evening,
for nearly a week past, had promised rain, with
out, however, any performance on their part, till
Monday evening, when we were favored with a
gentle and refreshing show’er. We had another
slight sprinkle last evening. We learn that on
Saturday last, there was very heavy rain, accom
panied with thunder and lightning, in the neigh
borhood of Station No. 1, on the Central Rail
road. A gentleman residing there, in writing
to a friend in this city, says: “At mid-day to
day, (Saturday) it commenced to rain and thun
der at such a rate, as to be almost terrific to wit
ness. The rain tell so rapidly for three hours,
that it flooded all my rice and corn fields. A re
markable circumstance in connection with this
rain is, that when it ceased, there was 18 inches
of water on parts of my fields where I have
never known water to lodge before. The light
ning entered one of my negro houses, in which
were five persons, fortunately, without doing
any of them the slightest injury. Three fine
hogs that were standing in front of the house
were killed.”— Savannah News , 6 th inst.

Jenkins’ Enthusiasm.
“Never has Georgia probably witnessed a
demonstration of enthusiasm,'so deep, all-per
vading and overwhelming as the one which has
attended the announcement of the action of the
late Union Convention.”— Milledgeville Recorder.
We publish the foregoing as an item of news
for our friends in this region. It will doubtless
be such to most whom it reaches in other por
tions of the State. At any rate the Georgia
Citizen, published not very remotely from Mil
ledgeville, seems not to have heard of it, or if he
has, is very far from believing it. The Editor of
that paper, and who is a more thorough Union
man than he ? gives a different report from the
Recorder’s. Read the following extfact from
hi« paper:
“ We neither see nor hear of any enthusiasm
in behalf of Mr. Jenkins, although the weather
is hot as blazes and in as good a state for efferves
cence as can possibly be found this side of the
tropics. It is all gammon, then, at this early
stage ot the canvass, to assert that ‘Scott Whigs,
Webster Whigs, Southern Rights Whigs, and
Union Derriocrats all receive his nomination
with enthusiasm .’ That implies that the steam
is up and that every body is aboard, whereas the
fires of the engine are not yet lighted. The
Scott Whigs have not yet had time to get the
wrinkles of disappointment out of their faces,
or the bitterness of dissatisfaction out of their
hearts. And so to the‘Southern Rights Whigs’
and ‘Union Democrats’ who are going off into
spasms over the nomination of Mr. Jenkins, we'
have yet to see the first man. Nevertheless,
they may come it, all in good time, if they are
let alone and not placed in a false postition. Men
sometimes overdo the thing and spoil all bv ex
cessive zeal. Vaulting ambition oft overleaps
itself and falls on ’tother side.’ We therefore
woiuld advise our youthful compeers not to start
before the whistle blows. ‘Take your time,
Miss Lucy.’ If you commence to manufacture
enthusiasm for the occason too earl /, there is dan
ger of a collapse before the end is accomplished.”
The Pavilion Hotel, Charleston.— From
an article in the Courier on Ho f el improvements,
we make the following extract:
Among other indications of improvement
tending to show that our landlords—although
some of them are of good semi-Falstaffian pro
portions, and do credi' to their own tab!**—are
not lazy or asleep, we observe some additions
and repair lately put on the Pavilion Hotel. The
most conspicuous, is a very handsome verandah,
ol iron railing,'fa most elegant and attractive
pattern and design. This verandah is on the
level of the second floor, from which it is acces
sible conveniently by many entrances, and af
fords a cool and agreeable promenade of the ex
tent of 233 fer-t. running along both the Meeting
and Hasel-sts., fronts of the Building. The Pa
vilion being situated at the north-western corner
of these streets, the fronts its presents to them
respectively are not exposed to the sun through
the afternoon, and at the same time the opening
afforded by these available every
breath of the refreshing breezes which mitigate
our summer heats. It was to afford his guests,
and the ladies especially, of whose comforts But
terfield seems sedulously careful, an opportunity
of enjoying more fully and perfectly, the advan
tages furnished by the position of the Hotel, that
he has added this verandah to the very exten
sive and expensive repairs which he bad but
lately completed. He has, indeed, marked out,
and constructed in the verandah, an orbit, in
which constellations of beauties may revolve
agreeably and harmoniously, and he has given to
all his guests, a practical admonition involving
the best and most seasonable advice that a wise
or benevolent man could give or take at this
time—“ Keep Cool.”
The Verandah, also, adds much to the appear
ance of the Pavilion , and indeed will be a feature
in that portion of the city. The iron railings
and materials were from the establishment of
R. Wood, Philadelphia; the work of construc
tion and erection was executed by Messrs. Rebb
& Conover, of our city, and the Verandah now
projects itself gracefully, an enduring monument
of the taste, skill and fidelity of those engaged
in its construction, and of the provident liberali
ty of “ mine host,” Butterfield, who has added
to the other appointments of his comfortable and
well kept house, such an agreeable and seques
tered place for “meditations at eventide,” for
conversation, or for the pleasant exercise of the
promenade.
Fire. —On Friday last, about one o’clock, our
citizens were aroused by the cry of fire. Hur
rying in the direction indicated by the volumes
of smoke, it was discovered that the extensive
buildings, occupied and owned by the Messrs.
J. M Barringer as a carpenter’s shop, and a
steam manufactory of sash and blinds, had taken
fire. The buildings were of wood, the weather
excessively dry and hot, and in a few moments
the houses, with all the valuable machinery,
tools, and a large quantity of selected lumber,
were in flames. We understand that there was
no insurance, and all was lost. The progress of
the flames were so rapid that the Engines could
be of little service except to prevent the spread
of the fire, and save the surrounding property.
The loss of the Messrs. Barringer, of course, can
not be very accurately ascertained, but at any
reasonable estimate cannot fall below twelve or
fifteen thousand dollars. Thus the earnings of
the industry of two of our most worthy fellow
citizens fors years, has been swept away in an
hour. We are glad to see that the liberality of
our citizens was at once aroused, and that the
sufferers will be relieved as far as possible.
The fire was entirely accidental.— Columbus
Enquirer.
Religion among the Slaves.— Mr. Brooks’
editor of the New York Express, in one of his
letters from Georgia, mentions the following
facts:
“In Savannah, in three Baptist churches and
one Methodist, there are 2,990 colored persons,
one half of whom are slaves. The pastor of one
of the Baptist churches is a slave, and the other
two are free colored persons. These churches
contribute liberally for foreign and domestic mis
sions, for the home poor. &c. At the Georgia
Baptist Association, held in Warren county last
September, five slave preachers were present,
and voted upon all questions presented for con
sideration. In South Carolina there are more
than forty thousand slaves who are church mem
bers: arid in the entire South the Baptist and
Methodist Churches already have 264,000 slave
members.”
Celestials in Distress. —The Chinese Dra
matic Company, forty-two in number, who ar
rived in New York a short time ago from San
Francisco,and performed one weeK at Nibio’s ap
pear so be in a destitute condition, Tueir ward
robe, which is stated to be worth S4O 000, is re
tained bv the steamship company as a lien for a
debt of $6,000. incurred in their passage from
California. It appears they contracted to exhibit
in New York tor ten months, at $6 000 a month,
and were paid at San Francisco SIO,OOO in ad
vance. They were to receive $2,000 in a month
after their arrival at New York, and to have
their board paid, but it appears these stipulations
have not only not been fulfilled, but that the
contractor has disappeared.
The Morning Advertiser, of London, in allu
ding to a “ recent distressing case of animal mag
netism,” says, “ We are sorry to announce that
Miss C , the young lady in Surrey place,
who was reported in this journal some few
weeks ago to have suffered from trying the ta
ble moving experiment, bv means of the above
agency, is much worse. Hopes were entertained
that she would soon recover the use of her hands.
It seems, however, ihat these hopes have not
been realized. Her hands are now firmly
clenched together, and it requires great force to
separate the fingers, even fora moment, from the
palms of her hands. This extraordinary affair
has caused intense excitement in the medical
profession.”

Death of Dr. Chapman— Dr. Nathaniel
Chapman, one of the most celebrated physicians
of the United States, died last evening at his
residence in thi~ city, at the advanced age of 74
years He was born in Virginia, and received
his medical education in Edinburgh. Having
established himself in the practice of medicine
in this city, he was in 1811 elected to the chair
of Materia Medica, and in 1816 to that of Prac
tice, in the Pennsylvania University. This lat
ter post he filled until about three years ago,
since when, owing to the infirmities of age, he
has lived in retirement.— Phila. Courier.
“The Horrors of Jehossee.”— We have
had numerous inquiries, both at home and
abroad, addressed to us, as to the authorship of
the admirable article —admirable both in style
and matter —with this title, which appeared in
the Courier of the 22d ult. Under such circum
stances, even at some risk of infringing on the
modesty of the author, we venture to announce
his name. He is Richard W. Habersham, Esq.,
a son of the late Hon. Richard W. Habersham'
of Savannah. Mr. H. is an artist of taste skill
and power, his paintings embodying highly poet
ic conceptions. He is a writer of great fluency
and taste, and author of several articles, which
have appeared of late in our daily journals, on
popular education, an object to which he is zeal
ously devoted.
As connected with this object, he proposes to
establish a weekly periodical, under the auspices
of the Evening News, and we commend his
highly useful project to public and general favor.
It is one nearly concerning the welfare of the
rising generation, and we are glad that it is
about to engage so eloquent a pen, and so en
lightened a mind. —Charleston Courier.

H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment.—
This celebrated medicine, skilfully
composed as it is of the most healing balsams and
penetrating oils, can never fail to cure almost eve
ry affliction that could be alleviated by an extor
nal remedy. Its superiority over all other Lini
ments is proven by the miraculous cures it performs,
and by tho great and constantly increasing de
mand. There has been sold within the past year
more than THREE MILLIONS OF BOTTLES,
and there can be but few persons found who do
'not bestow upon it the highest praise for the rare
virtues it pt ssesses. Nothing, perhaps, since the
creation of the world, has been so successful as an
external remedy for all nervous diseases, as this
wonderful curative. When applied, it instanta
neously diffuses itself through tho whole system,
soothmg the irritatod nerves, allaying the most
intense pains and creating a most delightful sensa
sion. Read the following remarkable cure, which
can be attested to by hundreds who were fully ac
quainted with the whole circumstance.
Chronic Enlargement of the Tonsils.—My
daughter, when six months old, was taken with a
swelling in tho tonsils, which grew larger and lar
ger, till when six years old had great difficulty in
swallowing her food. Every night watch was kept,
fearing she would suffocate. The best doctors at
tended her but could give no relief. I took her to tho
. most eminent doctors in the East; they .'aid there
was no help fur her but to outgrow it. With a sad
heart I returned home with her, when she became
so much worse that the doctors had to he called in
again ; they decided that the tonsils must be cut
off, as Ihe only means of giving relief. My wifo
i would not consent to this and she determined to
try your Liniment, which gave relief the very first
application, and by a continued use she entire
• ly recovered. She is now ten years old and fleshy
and healthy as could be desired. Your Liniment
is also the best in use for sprair.3, bruises, cuts,
burns, headache, e’e , and it w 11 remove the most
severe pain in a few mutes It also cured caked
udder in my cow in a few days.
