Col. Chappell’s Letter.
We publish this morning a letter from Col. A t
H. Chappell, to which we would call the partic
ular attention ot Union Democrats.
Weather and Crops.
The Alexandria (La.) Democrat of the 28th
ult., Bays:
Within the last ten days we have had frequent
showers of rain. The crops promise well.
The Shreveport Southwestern, of the 28th ult
says:
The plants, though backward, generally have
a very promising appearance in this parish. A
full size cotton boll has been picked from the
field of Mr. John Raine, nine miles south of.
Marshall. From Bowie county, Texas, we learn
that the crops look well. On the cane lands in
the bottoms, and the uplands adjacent, both corn
and cotton are fair; but on the black lands cot
ton is not good. In Red River county, corn and
cotton are now backward, but if the weather
continues good,[average crops of both will be
made. Mr. Daniel Mathis, of Pine Creek, has
sent to the Clarksville Standard several large
full heads of wheat, as a specimen of this sea
son’s growth. Mr. M. intends to contend for
the silver goblet premium offered by the agricul
tural association of Texas.
Mr. Black, of Bossier parish, has sent to the
Minden Herald a cotton limb containing full
grown bolls, the growth of the present year.
The Mansfield Advertiser says:
We have had a fine shower and some sprink
lings of rain in Mansfield and the surrounding
country during the present week. The crops
are doing tolerably well; in fact fullv as well as
can be expected after the la’e wet and backward
spring with which our planters had to contend.
In the western part of 'be parish there has not
been a sufficiency of rain lately, and the crops
begin to suffer for want of it.
The Jackson Mirror of the 30th ult. says :
All above and around and beneath us has
turned to nearly a white heat. The corn is
ruined. Thousands of acres will not more than
pay for harvesting, and hundreds will not be
harvested at all. The cotton is not yet ruined
but much of it wilts with the rising sun, and
stands all day as if dying, while all of it is des
tined to be small unless we have heavy rains
soon.
The Feliciana Whig, of 20th ult., says :
Capt. Lewis Sturgis, of this place, has presen
ted us with a cotton boll about two-thirds,
grown. The boll he sent us was evidently de
cayed to a considerable exterit. Planters of ex
perience who examined it, pronounce the disease
with which it was infected the regular cotton
rot. The boll was from a bloom of the Bth of
June.
The Opelousas Courier, of 2d inst., says :
W . had a good rain on Monday last; crops con
tinue t > improve ; country healthy, and business
dull.
The Pointe Coupee Echo, of 2d inst., says:
While our neighbors in the upper part of the
parish had to complain, if of anything, of too
much rain, we in the lower part of Pointe Cou
pee, False River and the Island, were suffering
from a drought that seriously injured our corn
crop. The cane and cotton passed through the
fiery ordeal almost unscathed, and will now
have more to fear from moisture than from
drought, as it commenced raining yesterday with
a will and vigor that convinced us that the
month of July will be as wet as its predecessor
was dry.
The Galveston (Texas) News, of the 4th,
says:
Gentlemen from different parts of the country
inform us that the crops generally present a fa
vorable appearance. The impression appears to
be that the corn crop will turn out a fair average
one, taking the whole State through, though in
some neighborhoods it has been cut off by the
drought. The cotton crop, it is believed, will
be full an average one, unless cut off by some of
the many casualties to which it is subject late
in the season. Seasonable showers appear to
ha ve fallen in most places, and in some the rains
have been rather in excess, though the reverse
is more frequntly the complaint.
The Crops in Georgia. —During a recent
visit of a few days to the interior, we had op
portunity of gathering information from all sec
tions of the State, in regard to the crops. The
wheat crop is acknowledged, on all hands, to
have been very fine. The oat crop, on the con
trary, is an entire failure. The same is true of
early corn, except in a very few instances, upon
swamp and bottom lands. The late corn is,
also, indifferent, but may be brought out by the
recent rains. The vegetable gardens, turnip
and potato crops, are, also, very unpromising.
The cotton cop varies with the locality. In
the clay lands, the Diant is small, and promises
. but little fruit. The stand, generally, is not
good, and the prospect is, decidedly, discoura
ging.
These statement* are, probably, entirely cor
rect, in regard to the present condition of the i
crops throughout the State. What effect the re- i
cent rains will have upon cotton and late corn, |
remains to oe seen. The oldest and the most !
experienced planters with whom we conversed,
expressed the opinion that the provision crop,
► cannot, under any circumstances, exceed half,
or the cotton crop three-fourths, the yield of last
year.— Sav. Courier , 9thinst.
The Crops —ln some parts of our District are
irretrievably gone. We heard a gentleman,
whose plantation lies near Long-Cane creek,
say that for seventy-five acres of corn he would
be willing to take seventy-five bushels. In the
neighborhood of Calhoun’s Mills, and from thence
up an»l down the Savannah River, the prospect
is gloomy in the extreme. The failure of the
crop in 1845, which pioduced so much distress
and forced many of our citizens to emigrate to
other States in order to procure corn and other
necessaries, is slight in comparison with the
present failure. How those of our citizens who
depend entirely upon their crop for support will
manage, is more tnan our feeble imagination j
can tell. b
Since the preceding paragraph was written,
we have been favored with two refreshing
showers, and are happv in being able to note
good signs for more.— Abbeville Banner, Ith inst.
Grown Cotton Bolls.— On Monday last the
4th inst., Mr. Thos. J. Sanders of this county
laid upon our table, two full grown cotton bolls !
which has since opened and exposed to view a*
beautiful long staple. Mr. S. informs us, that
notwithstanding the drought, th it he never had
u better crop of either corn or cotton. The late
rains with which this section has been visited,
has very much revived the hopes of trie planters, i
The crops begin to wear a different aspect, and
it is belived by some that we shall “have bread,
and to spare/'— Oglethorpe (Ga.) Democrat, Bth
inst.
The Weather, Crops, &c.—“ The oldest
inhabitants 3 do not recollect warmer weather
in Buncombe than we are experiencing just
about now. The crops have suffered and are
now suffering in some portions of this county for
want of rain, the Oat crop will be almost a total
failure in many places.— Aihville jtf. C.J Specta
tor, 6th inst.
Early Cotton Blooms and Bolls.—Mr. J.
]D. Smith, of this District, left at our office cot
ton blooms and bolls which he took from his
field on the 25th ult. This is unusually early
for cotton blooms , and surprisingly so for cotton
bolls in Greenville. We recollect some years
past it was thought by our farmers quite a dis
tinction to appear at 4th of July celebrations
with a cotton bloom tucked under the hat band.
—Greenville (S C.) Mountaineer, 9th inst.
Rain. —On the afternoon of the 4th ißst., we
had a fine rain, which we think has been pretty
general throughout the District. The crops
have suffered very much, but not irreparably,
and with one or two more good rains, we think
an abundance of corn will yet be made in onr
District. Rain was never more grateful and
iiever more needed than at this time, as a week j
ago the unanimous opinion was, that unless it
rained in a very few days the corn crop would
be irreparably lost.— lb.
Weather.*— Since our last issue, this section
has been favored with several good rains. The
corn, however, is very backward, and our in
foimation from different parts of the county
leads us to believe that the crop, with a good
season from this time, will fall much below the
average.— Athens ( Tenn .) Post.
Great and Glorious. —On Tuesday after
noon last, the heavens suddenly “hung” them
selves “in black,’ and this village, by hard squeez
ing got itself in the edge of one of the finest rains
that has been known in 1853. South East and
was evident, the reviving waters came
down in grateful floods. Enough fell here to keep
vegetable nature—as the quack did the subject
with fits—“at what it was at,” for some days.
And at this present writing there is a fair—no,
a most foul, but pleasant prospect of abundant
rain to come.— Chawba ( Ala.) Tribune , Bth inst.
Since the copious and refreshing rain of Tues
day last, the weather has relapsed into its for
mer state of almost insufferable heat. Business
of almost every desciiption is at a stand, except
perh'ps trade in cooling beverages.
A slight panic exists in the corn market, but
it will be but temporary. 50 and 55 cents have
been paid for corn during the week; but there is
not enough brought to market to establish any
permanent price. Flour is plenty and retails at
$4 50. Butter can be had at from 12 to 15
cts.
Trade in blackberries and chickens animated
—dealers numerous and demand steady. Roast
ing ears and good apples would sell at a premi
um. Try it, friends!— Chattanooga Advertiser,
9th inst.
Later from Havana and Key West.
The U. S. Mail steamship Isabel, Capt. Wil
liam Rolins, arrived at her wharf, in Charleston,
on Sunday afternoon, shortly after five o’clocki
from Havana and Key West, having left the for
mer port on the morning and the latter on the
evening of the Bth inst. She accomplished the
distance from Havana in the short space of fifty
two hours, thus adding another laurel to the hon
ors already acquired by her builders in Balti
more.
Elections in August.— Elections will take
place next month in the States of Kentucky,
Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee
and North Carolina. In the two latter States
the election will be held on Thursday, the 4th
of August, and in the others on Monday, the Ist
of August. In Kentucky and Arkansas mem
bers of Congress and of the State Legislature
are to be chosen ; in Missouri and North Carolina
members of Congress ; and in each of the State
of Alabama, Texas and Tennessee, a Governor,
Legislature and members of Congress are to be
chosen. We notice that the Board of Managers
of the Washington National Monument have is
sued a notice requesting that boxes, to receive
contributions for the monument, may be put up
at the different polls throughout the several
States, and at all elections hereafter to be held.
The MacCulloch and Manasses Mining
Companies. —The president of the MacCulloch
Gold and Mining Company, whose property is
in North Carolina, has made a report of the con
dition of the mines of an exceedingly flattering
character. The report is the result of a personal
inspection. He reports a very large amount of
copper ore existing on the surface, at least 300
tons, averaging 26 per cent, of richness, and
worth S3OO per ton, or $45,000 as the aggre
gate. This is to be shipped and sold at Balti
more.
The amount of surface gold ore is also large, in
in the shape of tailings or refuse from the long
working of the mine, for 27 years. Between
100 and 300 of these tailings are collected and
ready for crushing, which is being done. Be
low the surface the mineral wealth is stated to
be immense, and obtainable at an insignificant
cost —being, for a ton of copper ore, not over sl6
per ton. The copper ore alone will, says the
president, give the company a net income of
$5,800 per day.
The Manassas Copper Company, of Virginia,
of which Mr. Joseph Cowdin, our former consul
at Glasgow, is now the president, has made a
valuable discovery of red oxide of copper in mas
ses existing in its mines, and which Prof. Silli
man, Jr., states to be of rare occurrence, and
valuable as it is rare. There are found near the
surface over 300 tons ready to be sent forward.
Mexico and the United States. —The
“Universal,” published in the city of Mexico
alludes to the rumors which have been circula
ted in that country and this, lhat the large in
crease of the Mexican army provided for by a
recent decree ot Santa Anna, contemplates a
declaration of war against the United States.
The rumors it pronounces entirely groundless.
“In short,” it says at the close of its article,
“ Mexico has no idea of declaing war against
the United States.”
Florence and Nashville Railroad. —We
learn from the Florence Gazette that the Nash
ville and Alabama Railroad Company and the
Florence and Nashville Railroad Company, have
agreed to unite their roads at the State line di
viding the States of Alabama and Tennessee.
This agreement seals, we believe, all controversy
between the two companies, and on the strength
of it the Alabama Company have employed Mr.
Anderson, a competent engineer, to survey and
locate the road Irom Florence to the State line,
so as to have it ready to be put under contract
the 20th of next month.
Serenade to Mr. Soule. —A serenade, in
which some 300 or 400 persons participated, was
given to Mr. Soule, our new Minister to Spain,
at his lodgings, in New York, on Monday nighty
4th inst. On his appearance he was greeted with
enthusiastic applause and cheers fjr “ Soule and
Cuba.”
Mr. S. Baker, of New York, whose term as
agent of the Secretary of the Treasury expired
on the Ist inst., while acting as such, purchased,
it is stated, for Government, one million seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars of United
States funded debt.
Remains Brought Home. —The steamer San
Jacinto, which arrived in Philadelphia, on Tues
day, brings home the remains of the late com
mander Upshur, who died in command of the
Levant.

Columbia County Politics.
Mr. Gardner :—The travail is over in Colum
bia; the caucus clique, and conservative leaders,
met on the sth July, and appointed three gen
tlemen to the next Legislature, in opposition to
the will and positive orders of the Hon. R.
Toombs, as set forth in the Wilkes county,resolu
tions. The men appointed, are very clever
young men, as much so, as inexperienced men»
of immature years, could be. How the appoint
ments will be received we cannot tell; there is
evidently much dissatisfaction in Columbia, at
the dictorial spirit of a few in the county, who
try to rule the people by their selfish appoint
ments. The conservative system may be right,
but, as nominations are carried on in Columbia,
they are unju«t to many meritorious men, and
we hope the day is coming, when the people, in
their majesty, will frowp down all such com
binations. The system as practised here, is at
war with the spirit ofrepublicanism ; and strikes
a death blow to one of our dearest privileges—
the freedom of action.
Some of the ablest and best men of this coun
ty lave been laid upon the shelf, to make room
for others without claim or much capacity, mere
ly to gratify the cravings of a ruling cabal, who
must be obeyed. The fate of Mr. Colvard. Mr.
Gibson, and others, are striking examples of this
declaration.
With the gentlemen recently appointed we
have the honor of an acquaintance; we like them
as friends ; but we think the temperance ante
cedents of one of them will go far to defeat him,
with an independent opponent, for we have no
idea his petition views will be endorsed by our
people, when it is recollected, that the leading
man of the crew, has signed the petition. Ti e
truth is, the petition is the grand question of the
day—a free people cannot be too jealous of their
rights, or have too high a regard for their national
privileges ; and we should look with suspicion
and distrust upon any man , who has stag
gered upon this question. Again the tax law is
to be had in review. Columbia is one of our
wealthiest counties; her taxable property is large,
and it is all important we should have mature
men. men of age and experience in our next
Legislature ; and let us act, fellow county men,
independent of all caucuses or cliques, which
are usually packed and controlled, here and
elsewhere, by family and political compacts.
The purses of our people, and our sacred privi
leges, are too dear to be sacrificed at the shrine
of any cabal, to subserve party interests, when
in local politics there is no party difference.
The times are difficult, and we cannot be too
economical. In conclusion, we would ask,
if one of the representatives appointed, is not ip
favor of moving our present Court House ? JDid
not one of them make a speech upon temper
ance, in which he took ground for Legislating
upon the subject ?
These questions suggest an answer, which if
refused, the people, will answer the Ist Monday
in October. Voter.

Is Judge Johnson a Spiritual Rapper 1 —
A few days since, we were conversing with a
distinguished Minister ot the Methodist Church,
who is an intimate acquaintance of Judge John
son’s, upon the subject of the latter gentleman’s
Spiritual Rappping proclivities. From an ac
quain.ance of many years standing, and the op
portunities afforded him of judging, he gave it
as his opinion that Judge Johnson was a true
“ spiritual rapper,” not of the new, but of the old
school rappers, who delighted in rapping sin, the
devil and evil spirits in bodily shape, after the
apostolic mode, by reproving, and exhorting with
all long suffering and doctrine.
Though a Presbyterian, I have seen him, said
he, at my campmeetings, exhorting sinners,
praying for. and comforting mourners,and “rap
ping as hard’ 1 for the salvation of souls as the
most spiritual among us This, said he, is the
kind of spiritual rapping I admire, and I know
Judge Johnson to be that kind of a rapper. I
have seen at praver meetings, at classmeetings
and upon the Bench, at home and abroad, and I
know of no man, more able or willing to rap
sin, and wicked people, and to encourage morali
ty and piety than Judae Johnson.”
This is the kind of testimony that one of
Geoigia’s most popular Ministers, whom we
believe to be a whig in principle, bears to
wards Judge Johnson, and if these are the
sins which his political opponents charge as
“heresies” let them make the most of it. The
good and the virtuous every where, will say,
rap on, and every rap wid instinctively call
for a pious amen from every Christian heart.
We intend to vote for that rapper.
We notice that excavation is going on in the

are planned with regard to durability, conven
ience and beauty of design, and will greatly re

It vront Take.
Recent indications very conclusively demon
strate, that the “ chapter of follies” bundled to
gether at Milledgeville on the 22d ultimo, by
the renowned veteran of the “ masked battery,”
to delude Union Democrats into the support of
the nominee of the anonymous, alias whig con
vention, will wholly fail to accomplish the de
sign. Union Democrats have been courted and
flattered more lavishly than a “city belle” of six
teen, with the hope of inducing them to sell
themselves to the whig party, and to assist in
promoting whig aspirants to office, over the
heads of some of the ablest and test men of their
own party. But ‘itis no go—the thing wont
take.’ The democratic party is again re-united,
and they will take warning from - the past, and
suffer the enemy no longer to sow the seeds of
discord in our ranks. From the mountains to
the sea-board, the voices of Union and Southern
Rights Democrats are heard in unison and har
mony, in advocacy of the principles of the Bal
timore Democratic platform, and in suppo t of
President Pierce’s administration upon the prin
ciples set forth in his famous, popular Inaugural
Address. In perfect concord may also be heard
the voices of many noble and patriotic spiriH,
who in days of yore, did valiant service in the
whig ranks, but whose patriotism triumphed
over party alignments, when Wm. H. Seward
succeeded the gallant “ Harry ol the West,” in
the command.
A late writer in the Journal & Messenger, in
perfect keeping with the tactics oPthe party, at
tempted to cozen the Hon. A. H. Chappell back
into the so-called re-organized “ Union Party”
which the whig members of that party had so
unceremoniously broken up. The writer assumes
that the Union party has been re-organized, and
“that Col. Chappell will resume his proper po
sition in it”—and with the view, no doubt, to
entice him into the delicate meshes woven by
the renowned Hamilcar, suggests the name of
Col. Chappell as a suitable candidate to oppose
Col. Bailey for Congress in the third district.
To which Col. Chappell makes the following
which, if it is not a bomb shell in the
camp of insane whiggery, we are at a loss to
conceive'what bomb-shells are made off Col.
Chappell knows full well by whom the “Union
Party” was broken up, and in the language of
one of the now editors of the Southern Recorder,
he remembers "the indecent haste” with which it
was done. It was the whigs and not the Union
who broke up the Union party—
and Col. Chappell shared as largely in their
abuse as any other living man. These (acts are
fresh in his memory, and they will be remem
bered bv every union democrat who has one
spark of self-respect remaining in his bosom.
The letter speaks for itself, we bespeak for it
a earefbl perusal by every democrat, and espe
cially every union democrat. It is a document
apropo et opportnnis.
[From the Journal <s• Messenger.]
Messrs. Editors: —ln your paper of last
week, I observe an article undir the signature
of‘ Bibb.’ which demands some notice from me,
in order that there may be no misapprehension
as to my political position ; for I deem it in
cumbent on every man, in such a country as
ours, to see to it, that, he is rightly understood in
reference to the relation in which be stands to
the party divisons which exist among his fel
low-cifizens.
‘Bibb.’ assumes that the Union party of Geor
gia has been re-organized, and taking it as a
master of course that I ‘will resume my proper
position in it,’ and does me the honor of sug
gesting me as the candidate for Congress of
that party in this District. Here, at the very
outset, I am obliged to say that ‘Bibb’ and my
self do not agree as to the fact which he as
sumes to exist. It is not my opinion that the
Union party of Georgia has been revived and re
organized. It is well known that whilst cer
tain political events were in progress last year,
I regarded them as the death-knell of the Union
party. It is also known that I greatly depre
cated those events, and struggled hard against
them. They nevertheless, happened, and their
effect in totally breaking up and dissolving
the Union party, was one of those palpable
things about which it was impossible for a
doubt to be entertained by any body. Nor
do I think that any considerable number of
persons can be found agreeing with “Bibb,” in
the opinion that the Union party of Georgia,
which was thus broken up last year, has been
revived and re-organized, and is again in the
field to do battle as of yore, At all events, such
is not my opinion The party now in the field,
and to which ‘Bibb’ evidently adheres, and
with which he wonld have me to act, does
not even announce itself to the world as the
Union party. The omission to do so in the pro
ceedings of the late Gubernatorial Conven
tion at Milledgeville, is certainly a very signi
ficant circumstance. It plainly argues that the
opinion of that Convention in regard to the
fact of the re organization ofthe Union paty, is
quite different fiom the opinion entertained bv
‘Bibb.’
But it is not the name, or the want of a name,
of the party to which ‘ Bibb’ alludes, that creates
the insuperable obstacle to my acting with it.
I am a friend and supporter of the present Dem
ocratic Administration of the General Govern
ment. I contributed by my vote to the bring
ing of that Administration into power, I have
confidence in the great national party by which
that Administration was brought into power.
Os course, I cannot consistently with my views
and convictions on national politics, take posi
tion in the ranks ot a party in Georgia, which is
inevitably destined, as I think, to be an Opposi
tion party—a party antagonistic to Gen. Pierce’s
Administration, and to the National Democracy.
The Northern Democratic party has, in my
opinion, from the days of Jefferson down to the
present hour, been characterized in the main, by
friendliness and justice to the South. They have
stood by us in a thousand trials; they have
fought, and either conquered or fallen for us in a
thousand hard political battles. Yes! and they
were, as a body, with us in that last and great
est battle of ali, the battle upon the Compromise
questions growing out of the acquisition of New
Mexico and California. I cannot bring myself
to turn my back on such a Northern party, and
on an Administration which I concurred with
in electing, until it shall manifest a spirit and a
conduct signally discordant with the general
tone of its past history and character. My de
votion to the South led me in 1844, when rep
resenting the State in Congress, to cast off all
political connection with the Northern Whigs,
because I saw and knew for myself, that as a
mass, they were intensely leavened, thoroughly
penetrated with hostility to the South. From
that period I have been led by the same devo
tion to the South, to advocate the policy of act
ing with and sustaining the Northern Democrat
ic party, because I saw and knew for myself,
that that party was. as a body, thoroughly im
bued with just feeling and a friendly bias towards
the South, and acted habitually under the influ
ence of su<-h feelings.
Under these circumstances, and entertaining
these convictions, it is, of course, impossible for
me to identify myself with any party in Geor- ’
gia, under whose banner I would inevitably, as
I believe, soon find myself in a position of alli
ance with the National Whig Part', and of
hostility to that National Democratic party, to
which I have long been attached, which I have
just helped to carry, into power, and in which I
still have confidence, although some things have
transpired in appointments to office by the
President, which I could have wished had been
otherwise.
Nevertheless, being an optimist in politics,
(if I may borrow a phrase from that great
statesman, Mr. Buchanan,) I shall continue to
support Gen. Pierce’s Administration, and to act
with the party by which it is supported, until
something shall occur (which Heaven forbid)
making such a course no longer the best which
a Southern man can pursue.
Your obedient servant,
A. H. Chappell.

Later from Rio de Janeiro. —The ship Grey
Eagle has arrived with R>o dates to June 7th
The frigate Congress arrived on the 2d from La
Plata, and .would sail for home on the 15th.

The Grey Eagle made the quickest trip be
tween the two ports on record. She brings a
full cargo of coffee, and reports the health of Rio
as considerably improved. The Province was
quiet, and the authorities exercised the greatest
vigilance in suppressing the slave trade. Busi
ness Was inactive, owing to the scarcity and
dt arness of coffee.

Halifax, July 7.
Further intelligence from China states that
British troops had been ordered to Shanghai to
protect British interest there. The Susquehanna
was going to Nankin with the American Com
missioner, when she got aground near Woosung,
and finally returned. Pirates were busy on the
coast and had attacked several English vessels.
At Canton everything was quiet. Trade in
imports was large, at reduced prices. Tea dull.
At Shanghai business was suspended. The
steamer Mississippi was expected there on April
27.
Nankin was captured by the rebels on the 21st
of March. They subsequently, however, evacu
ated the city, and were defeated outside in an
engagement with the imperial troops.
The America’s mails will be due in New York
at 11 P. M., this evening.
The steamer Atlantic reached Liverpool on
the 21st, at P. M.
Boston, July 7.
Late and Important from Buenos Ayres —The
brig Alfred has arrived here with advices from
Buenos Ayres to the 23d May. The city was
still besieged. All negotiations towards a peace
compromise had tailed. The time allotted for
vessels to leave the port had been extended
twentv-days. All vessels were ordered to leave
by 'the 3d of June. Several vessels from N. York
were unloading when the Alfred left. The
shipments of hides would be small for some time
to come. The Government had authorized an
other loiwi often million dollars to prosecute the
war.
[skcond dispatch.]
July 7th.—A collision had taken
place between the steamer Utah and one of the
provincial steamers. Several rounds of shot
were exchanged, when the Utah withdrew from
the contest.
Provisions and fuel were very scarce and sel
ling at exorbitant prices.
The captain of a British packet has communi
cated some intelligence which is the latest re
ceived. He says it w T as rumored that a series of
highly important resolutions had been adopted
by the Constituent Congress of Santa Fe, dis
approving of the course pursued by Gen. Urqui
za and depriving him of the Dictatorship. One
of the resolutions authorizes Buer.os Ayres to
send twelve deputies to Congress, giving all the
other provinces the right to send two each.
It was likewise urged, by another resolution,
that the siege of Buenos Ayres and the rebellion
of the provinces be abandoned, under the penal
ty of excommunication.
Philadelphia, July 7.
Railroad Accident and Loss of Life. —The train
which left Baltimore last night, for Philadelphia,
was thrown off the track near Wilmington, a
piece of wood having been placed across the rails
by some malicious person. The locomotive,
tender, express, and bagga e cars were thrown
off the track, and the two latter broken to frag
ments. Th e passenger cars were uninjured. Os
three persons who got on the train at Wilming
ton, between the express and baggage cars, to
avoid paying fare, one was instantly killed and
the other two badly hurt. The name of the
man killed is unknown. The injured are named ;
James Ridley and John Jeffrey, and live in
Shippen-street, near Schuylkill Bth street, Phila
delphia
The Railroad Company have offered five hun
dred dollars reward for the discovery of the per
petrator of the outrage.
Washington, July 7.
Movements of the President. —The statement
that President Pierce will decline all public
demonstrations on his way to New York is au
thorized to be pronounced incorrect. He will
leave Washington on Monday, and will remain
in Baltimore until Tuesday morning, when he
will leave for Philadelphia, in which place he
will stay till Wednesday, and proceed thence to
New York, arriving there on Wednesday even
ing. He will be accompanied by Secretaries
Guthrie, Davis,’Cushing and Campbell,and by
his private secretary, Sidney Webster.
Syracuse, July 7.
Railroad Accident. —-The rear car oi a train on
the Central Railroad, when near this place, ran
off the track yesterday, and was considerably
damaged. One of the passengers, Mr. D. S. Bur
dett, it is feared, was seriously injured.
PHILADELPHIA, July 8.
Another Fatal Draw-Bridge Accident. —This
morning at two o’clock the freight train which
lett Wilmington for Philadelphia, ran into Bran
dywine creek, at the draw of the bridge on the
outskirts of the town. The bridge tender says
he gave the proper signals, but no attention was
paid to them.
The locomotive, tender, and two large platform
burthen cars were precipitated into the creek,
presenting a mas ol ruins. The engineer, named
Garvin, and the fireman.were drowned. The con
ductor, and other persons on the train, fortunately
escaped. If it had been a passenger train the
accident would have been equal to the Norwalk
catastrophe.
\Second Despatch.]
Philadelphia, July 8.
The accident was caused by the bridge tender
going to sleep. He heard the whistle of the
train coming out of Wilmington, and in his
fright does not know what he did. He thinks,
however, that he raised his lantern, which was
the proper signal that all was right. Thus the
officers of the train were deceived, and thought
all was right, and went ahead.
Charles Garvin, the engineer, belongs to Elk
ton, and is unmarried. Reuben Titus, the fire
man, was crushed beneath the engine, tender
and three pletform cars loaded with cross-ties.
The bridge tender is a very worthy and so
ber man, and has been keeper of the bridge for
six years. He was only on duty every other
night. After letting the train from Philadelphia
across at 12 o’clock, feeling tired, he thought he
would lie down. He fell asleep, and was so
alarmed that he did not know what he did.
This is his own statement. He was so over
come by his feelings that he attempted suicide.
He has been arrested on the charge of murder,
and held to bail before the New Castle County
Court.
The verdict of the jury exonerates the Com
pany entirely from ail blame; as the instructions
to the bridge tender were of the most explicit
character.
Havre de Grace, July 8.
Railroad Depot Burnt. —The Cecil depot at
Susquehanna, opposite Havre de Grace, took fire
at 1 o’clock to-day, just as the train arrived from
Philadelphia The whole of the buildings con
nected with the stations are entirely destroyed.
The cars were all run out and saved.
[second despatch 1
Havre de Grace, July B —The depot at the
landing on the opposite side of the river is en
tirely destroyed, except the wharves and apron
for landing passengers. The books and papers
from the office were saved. The fire originated
from the locomotive of the Baltimore train.
Washington, July 8.
Washington Affairs. —Despatches were received
nt the State Department to-day from the Hon.
Solon Borland, which accounts for his silence by
a protracted illness whilst travelling. He has
now recovered, and reports himself ready for in

The War Department have received very fair
advices from Gov. Lane, detailing the history of
his recent efforts to introduce pastural and agri
cultural pursuits among the Apache Indians. He
has met with encouraging success.

We seldom recommend a munufac
tured medicine, believing that, in
most cases, nature herself perfects a cure more
rapidly and effectually than can be accomplished
by the vegetables and minerals of medical science.
But in the matter o dyspepsia, thero are chronic
features about it, which, very often, defy all the ef
forts of nature to create a healthy action of the
digestive organs, and it not unfrequently hap
pens that thousands suffer for years, diseased both
in body and in mind, from indigestion and its kin
dred ills. To such, Hcfland's German B tiers,
prepared by Dr C. M. Jackson, are truly a most
valuable proparation. It is a tonic medicine, giv
ing a healthy actiou to tho stomach, and will be
found highly servicable at all seasons, but especial
ly during the spring. Dyspepsia can only be cured
by a patient perseverance iu ono course of treat
ment ; and to all those suffering under this sad mal
ady we would recommend an application to the
depot of Hoofland’s German Bitters, 120 Arch

Chronic Enlargement of the Tonsils —w
daughter, when six months old, was taken with 7
swelling in the tonsils, which grew larger and h
ger, till when six years old had great difficulty
swallowing her food. Every night watch was ken?
fearing she would suffocate. The best doctors at
tended her but could give no reliet. I took her to th
most eminent doctors in the East; they said th.7
was no help for her but to outgrow it. With a s"J
heart I returned home with her, when she becam!
so much worse that the doctors had to be called i
again ; they decided that tho tonsils must be C m i
off, as the only means of giving relief. My »if
would not consent to this, and she determined t
try your Liniment, which gave relief tho very fi r ?
application, and by a continued use sho entire
ly recovered. She is now ten years old and fled,*
