Harmonic Minstrels—Farewell Concert.
We take pleasure in calling attention to the
Farewell Concert of this Company.
They are entitled to much credit for their
proficiency, considering their recent organization.
They have in them, the elements of good music,
and much comic humor, and may turn out a
crack corps of ministrels.
The fact, that it is a Georgia Company, hail
ing from Savannah, ought not to set them back
any. We wish them ‘ a bumper at parting. 7 ’
South Carolina Railroad Company.
The President of this Road, H. W. Conner
has submitted to the Stockholders, a statement
of the affairs of the Company for the six months,
ending on the 30th June. This document doses
the official connection of this gentleman with
the Company.
We extract the following table of its opera

together with them all as parts of a great whole,
I had opportunities of observing and knowing
the capabilities and defects of all the employees
of the road, and I am pleased to say, that there
are now in the employ of the Company, in the

The S. C. Railroad Company, lose a most en
ergetic and efficient President in Mr. Conner.
It will be difficult to supply his place.
Fighting under Misapprehension.
The San Francisco Herald , of the 18th ult M fur
nishes the following caul, relating to an affair of
honor, the result of which had been looked to
by the public with much anxiety:
“An affair of Honor.— A hostile meeting
took place.about two o’clock yesterday afternoon,
between the Hon. Wm M. Gwin and the Hon.
J. W. McCorkle. in consequence, as we learn,
of certain offensive remarks rradp by the latter
while on the race course. The ground selected
was just this side of the boundary line between
San Francisco and Santa Clara counties; but on
receiving intelligence that some interference was
to be looked tor. the parties proceeded to a spot
about three miles the other side oftheline. Mr
McCorkle won the choice of position and the
word. The weapon selected was the rifle : dis
tance thirty paces, the combatants to at
the word and fire A number of spectators were
on the ground. Three shots were fired without
effect, of Senator Gwin’s balls passing almost
through the hair of Mr. McCorkle. The follow
ing document, signed by the friends of the parties
explain the sequel:
** After an exchange of three ineffectual shots
between the Hon. Wm. iVI. Gwin and Hon. J.
W. McCorkle, the friends of the respective par
ties having discovered that their principals were
fighting under a misapprehension of facts, mu
tually explained to their respective principals in
what the misapprehension consisted ; whereupon
Dr. Gwin promptly denied the cause of provo
cation referred to in Mr. McCorkle’s letter of
the 29th May, and Mr. McCorkle withdrew his
offensive language uttered on the race course,
and expressed regret at having used it.
“S. W. Inge,
“F. Stuart,
“ E. C. Marshall,
“ E. C. Fitzhugh,
“Geo. P. Johnston,
“ A. P. Crittenden.
“June 1, 1853.”
The least that can be justly said of these “friends
of the respective parties, is that they were guilty of
gross and criminal remissness, according to this
statement, to have allowed these gentlemen to
exchange three shots before the former discov
ering the alleged misapprehension of facts. It
was the duty of the seconds to have understood
the facts of the case, and if there was any mis
apprehension it could as well have been ascer
tained as before after the exchange of shots.
This is almost as bad a case as that of the
Irish gentleman challenging and shooting an
other, because he disputed his assertion, that he
had seen anchovies grow on trees. When he
saw his antagonist, wounded in the leg, cutting
capers on the ground, he exclaimed in an agony
of remorse, '‘‘Be Jasus it was Capers I meant, not
anchovies.
Mr. Buchanan and the Mission to Eng
land.—The Washington Star states that it has
information upon which it relies, that the Hon.
Jas. Buchanan will throw up the mission to
London. He pleads, officially, it is taken for
granted, his great indisposition to exchange the
repose of Wheatland for the excitement and la
bors of the station at the British capitol. The
Star adds that he is most anxious to continue
uninterrupted his labor of editing for the press
his state papers, legislative as well as adminis
trative. This collection of his speeches, reports
and letters is designed to embrace a history of
the statesmanship of the administration of James
K. Polk. These reasons, the Star says, would
not deter him from going, if the fishery question
had not been brought almost to a satisfactory
settlement by the head of the State Department,
aided by the advice of Mr. Buchanan, which
it apprehends, has been freely sought and cheer
fully given
The death of Mr. Maurice O’Connell, M. P.
(the oldest son of the great Daniel,) is announced
by the Hermann’s news. Mr. O’Connell, died
suddenly, on the 17th June, at his apar ments in
London. After having represented the county
of Clare from 1826 to 1832, he was returned for
the borough of Tralee in the latter year, and
has continued to represent it for the last twenty
years. He will probably be succeeded as mem
ber for Tralee by a member of his family. His
eldest son, a very fine boy, is a midshipman in
the Royal Navy, not long returned from the
West Indies. j
Camp Montgomery, July 6.
From the Times 6f Sentinel , we extract a por
tion as follows, of a description of the festivities
at the late military encampment near Colum
bus. The whole affair was well conceived and
admirably conducted, and went off with eclat.
***** # * # *
Yesterday the heavens were overcast and
Camp Montgomery was flooded. A long table
groaning with good things which the ladies of
the city had kindly provided, was exposed to
the pitiless storm and the fair creatures them
selves were not at all respected by the God of
rain and thunder, and were compelled to seek
shelter from the shower in a hasty retreat to the
tents of the military. 01 course we were de
lighted with the incident, though we sincerely
regretted the inconveniences to which our fair
guests were exposed Our accommodations
were scanty, but they were tendered with good
will, and we are happy to believe that the
abandon of our hospitality made amends for all
deficiencies. All that we regret in this connec
tion was the necessity of changing the locale of
the evening’s entertainment. A broad plat
form 100 by 60 feet had been erected for the
purpose of having a ball in camp. It was look
ed forward to with lively anticipations as the
great event of the festivities, and we are sure
nothing could have been more picturesque than
20 sets wheeling through the mazes of the dance
under the broad canopy of heaven, a ll bespan
gled with stars.
We were compelled to resort to Temperance
Hall by the rain, comforted by the reflection
that if our pleasures were diminished,the Country
was benefitted by its untimely outpouring. At
nine o'clock the ball opened. The concourse
was immense. We observed in the throng most
of the fashion, worth and beauty of the city,who,
we were happy to find, had a hand ready for
every guest who sought it in the dance. The
festivities were prolonged to a very late hour,
and went off delighted. There was not a
jar during the evening. At 2 o’clock in the
morning many happy but tired men sought sleep
in the tents so recently hallowed by the pres
ence of the fair, to dream of the forms of grace
and beauty which but so recently flitted before
their eyes The camp was aroused by reveille
at an early hour—too early, we fear, for the tired
sleepers, who awoke to learn that the fourth of
July had passed, and the pleasant festivities were
ended.
On the fifth, the Macon and Columbus com
panies turned out for drill under their respective
commanders. Engaged actively in this part of
the exercises we had no opportunity of compa
ring the companies with each other. Indif
ferent spectators are divided in opinion as to the
merits of the respective corps, but all agree that
there never was a more soldierly body of men
under arms, and that every corps was well
drilled, and did great credit to its officers by the
accuracy and elegance of its evolutions.
We are informed that the Macon Volunteers
had the pleasure of meeting with the accom
plished widow of their old Captain, Holmes,
who led the company to Mexico and there sac
rificed his life to his country. It is said that
they were none the worse for the re-union. At
any rate “Parade-rest” was an order of long
standing in front of the residence of one of our
citizens.
At the appointed roll the tents of the citizen
soldiers were struck, and the Macon Volunteers.
Capt. Bivins, and the Floyd Rifles, Capt. Ross,
were escorted to the depot by the Columbus
Guards,and the Montgomery Rifles,Capt. Thom,
to the west bank of the Chattahoochee by the
City Light Guards, and there delivered over to
the friendly hospitalities of Capt. Abercombie
We were unable to accompany them further,
but learn that the whole company were con
veyed in carriages to his mansion, where a bevy
of fair ladies awaited them, and there spent the
day in feasting and dancing until the sun sunk
in the west.

If our guests go home as favorably impressed
with us as we are delighted with them, we shall
not care if we have given a very poor descrip
tion of a very pleasant anniversary.
Coal Road to New York. —A number of
New York capitalists have undertaken the con>
struction of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad, in order to secure a greater
portion of the Penn ylvania coal trade to their
city. Already they have contracts for the con
struction of the entire Southern division of
this road, extending from Scranton to the
Delaware river, at the point of bridging,
about five miles below the Delaware Water
Gap, a distance of sixty-six miles. The sections
are one mile each, numbered from Scranton to
the Delaware, and the contractors are requited
to get their sections ready for the superstructure
at various peiiods from July Ist, 1854, to August
15th following. It is expected that anthracite
coal will be conveyed to New York by this
route before the close of 1854.
An Extraordinary Discovery. —The atten
tion of men of science, in Paris, has been drawn
to an extraordinary discovery made in a neigh
boring department. A grave-digger, in throw
ing up some earth, came upon a body in a state
of perfect preservation. On examination it
proved to be that of an individual buried thirty
seven years ago. He had died from the effects
of the bite of a mad dog. The shroud and the
coffin had fallen to dust, but the body remained
intact. This is the third exhumation made
within twenty years, of bodies of the victims
of hydrophobia, under similar circumstances;
and it would really seem that they are beyond
the reach of decomposition. The registry of
deaths was consulted, find no mention of the
embalmment of the body was found.
Pardoned.— The Savannah News says, the
somewhat celebrated Dr. Hines, it will be re
membered, was convicted some eight months
since in the U. S. District Court, and sentenced
to six months imprisonment in the county jail,
to hard labor, and at the expiration of that time
to pay a fine, and to remain in jail until the fine
was paid. His term of imprisonment expired
some months ago, but being unable to pay the
fine, he was detained in prison. We are inform
ed that several citizens who knew that Hines
was unable to pay the fine, petitioned the Pres
ident to have him pardoned, which request was
complied with, and on Monday last the captive
bird was again upon the wing. Whether the
Doctor has acquired any new lessons in morality
during his sojourn on the South Common, his
future career will disclose. It is enough for the
public to know that the notorious Dr. Hines is
once more at large.
Visits of the President to the Depart
ments.—lt is stated in the Republic that Pre
sident Pierce pays weekly visits to the Depart
ments, drops into the offices of the heads of bu
reaus, and, so far as his time will permit, makes
himself acquainted with the business and prac
tical operations of the several co-ordinate branch
es of the Government—a practice which every
body will commend, and which will lead the
people to believe that he will endeavor to “ take
care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
Lightning Rous.-The Scientific American,
in some remarks on this subject, gives the follow
ing as the essentials of an effectual rod •
“ £ ir T !° pper rod ? xten ding above
the highest part of a house, continuous in its con
nexion, perfectly insulated, kept separate and
distant from any large metallic body, and termi
nating in a moist part of the earth, such as a
pool or well, is a perfect lightning conductor.”
The same journal says that copper is preferable
to iron, though it is somewhat more expen-ive.
Where the chimneys of a house are not near to
gether, branch rods pointed with gold should run
from each to a common stem.
At a greenfinch-show, lately held at Ath, in
Belgium, one hundred and sixty-three birds re
sponded to the calls made on them to sing when
ordered. The first prize was gained by a bird
which repeated its song five hundred and thirty
three times within the hour.

Good Water.
It rather seems that the drinking Water in
Augusta is not the best in the world, and its
improvement is much to be desired. Many a one
dislikes the taste of bad water and tries to im
prove it with “ a drop of the critter till, finally,
the drop becomes the important item and the
water only an accessory. What immense num
bers have been destroyed in this way. Taste
and inclination soon turn into confirmed habits
utterly ruinous. It is held to be the duty cl
every good citizen and patriot to do his utmost
to preserve the health and morality of his coun
trymen. What plainer, simpler, better plan,
than to supply pure water , and prevent an incli
nation for ardent spirits?
In Hamburg, there is a bountiful supply of
excellent water, a large proportion of which
runs off into the river. Surely Hamburg could
have no objection to letting Augusta have the
surplus after its wants were supplied. This can
readily be effected by putting up a reservoir
near the springs, into one chamber of which the
W’ater flows. After riuing to a certain height, it
overflows into another, from which Hamburg is
supplied; after which the surplus again over
flows into a conduit for AugiTsta. A simple
iron pipe, laid in the open drain, in the street
leading from the springs to the river would an
swer the purpose, and the drain might be
left open, or filled up, giving Hamburg a street
without obstruction. The pipes could be readily
brought across the river, by being laid like an
inverted syphon, and would run but small risk of
receiving injury in any way—it could be con
nected directly with the present water logs, and
thus the expense would be, the erection of a
small reservoir in Hamburg and the cost of lay
ing the iron pipe from the reservoir to the line
of pipe in Augusta.
Judging by the eye, which is sometimes very
deceptive, however, if seems that the springs of
Hamburg are above the level of Turknett's.
If this is not so, a separate pipe would be re
quired for the water from Hamburg—if so, the
lower part of Augasta would shortly be supplied
with pure water, and as the supply from Ham
burg increased, it would let back through the
pipes,Ho wards the upper part of the town ; and
if the supply and head were sufficient, would
finally run into Turknett Spring. However
this may turn out, it certainly seems to be
worthy of examination. The levels could be
determined in a few minutes,and the consent of
Hamburg decided in a few days.
Good water is a blessing, only truly valued
by thosejaccustomed to it, and then compelled to
use bad water. It is generally understood that
the introduction of the Croton into New York
in place of the “ villainous pump compound,”
reduced the consumption of ardent spirits in a
wonderful degree. That this result will be pro.
duced every where, by the like means, is the
firm belief of Water Drinker.

Mr. Editor. —ln the communication by
“Vindex,” published in your paper of the 14th
inst., there are several mistakes, which ought to
be corrected, in order to give the writer fair
play. The first to notice is a vital one to the
sense of the sentence. Instead of its being, as
you have it—“ When justice is pointed at its foun
tain,” if you will lock at the manuscript, you will
find it thus—“ When justice is polluted at its
fountain.” Again, in speaking of the vote in the
Council, you have it thus—“ The members from
the three lower wards voting against doing jus
tice to the defendant, and those from the ward,”
instead of “the upper ward.” And again, instead
of “their compeers from the lower ward,” it
ought to have been “lower ward.” With the
above exceptions. I am satisfied with it as it is
Respectfully yours, Vindex.
A Wise Mexican. —Don Ambrosio Armijo
in declining the nomination for the appointment
of Delegate to represent the Territory of New
Mexico, says: “ It is impossible for me to ac
cept the honorable and precarious distinction, for
th* 3 following reasons:
“ Is*. On account or my family, to whom I
am a high degree, and I cannot con
sent to separate myself from them for so long a
time as two years.”
Senor Armijo is right; a seat in Congress
would be a foreign mission. He adds with
much naivete :
“ I am informed, also, that there will be seve
ral candidates before the people; but this would
nor deter me from lending my name, for I think
it would be quite possible for me to beat them.”
No doubt of it. The more competitors the
better chance of success usually.
U. S. Marshal. —We are gratified to learn
(says the Savannah Georgian) that John R.
Johnson has been appointed by the President
United States Marshal, to supply the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation of Capt. Mills.—
Mr. Johnson is a thorough-going Democrat, and
will doubtless make au efficient officer.
It is as we predicted. A Webster Whig has
been nominated for Congress in the Third Con
gressional District. The old lines have been over
slaughed in Forsyth, as they were in Milledge
ville. A bolter was nominated a few weeks ago
for Governor, and another bolter has now been
nominated for Congress. What do the Scott
Whigs think of it? How do they like Mr.
Jenkins, who was the honored chief of the re
custants, and Mr. Trippe, who was one of the
leading spirity-of the Webster Convention ?
We have already heard murmurs of disaffection
in the conservative camp. Will the just indigna
tion of the Scott Whigs be content to spend it
self in murmurs only ? Will they consent to
lend themselves to the elevation of the very man
who bolted at the nomination of the war-worn
hero of Cerro Gordo? It is idle for the Web
ster Conservatives to urge submission on the
plea of party fealty. They have already set
the example of revolt—they have already asser
ted, by preaching and by practice, that an un
satisfactory nomination is not binding on a party.
If the Scott Whigs choose to follow their exam
ple they have no right to complain—indeed, ac
cording to their own cant phrases they ought to
honor the independence which spurns to be
shackled with party fetters.
We expect the feeling of the Scott Whigs to
develope itself in something more than words.
The nomination at Forsyth strikes us as being a
decided faux pass. Mr. Trippe, is a very clever
gentleman, but all things considered, we think
that the Scott Whigs ought to have had the can
didate in the Third District. What do the
Scott Whigs think about it? What will they
do about it ?— Macon Telegraph , 1 Ith inst.
WilEes Railroad, —It will be seen from the
card of the Engineer and Superintendent, that
passengers can now be conveyed on this road.
The road is completed within five miles of this
place, and passengers can always be accommoda
ted to and from the head of the road. We think
the schedule time a bad arrangement, especially
for travellers coming from up the road. Ac
cording to the present arrangement, they would
have to remain at Cumming nearly a day and
night. Unless some other arrangement is made
whereby travelers going to and returning from
the up-country, we should think but little trav
eling will be done on the road until it is com
pleted to this place.— Washington Gazette , 14/ft

Gen. Wofford’s Position. —The Southern
Banner, of the 14th, says : “ We have just been
shewn a letter from Gen. Wofford, to a gentle
man in this place, in which he says: “ I shall
a P m . v T IK)8 * t * on the Democratic ranks, and
suppor Judge Johnson.” We hope there will
eno urc her misunderstanding as to his position.

[From the Chronicle Sf Sentinel ]
To the Voters of Elbert County.
Ruckersville. July Ist, 1853.
Dear Sir: —ln a late number of your paper,
are published the proceedings of a Temperance
meeting 1 held in the town of Elberton. The
meeting requests answers from the candidates of
our county for the Legislature, to certain ques
tions I will consider the justice and expedi
ency of the legislation necessary t© vest the
power in the Militia Districts.
In reply to these interrogatories, I remark that
a gentleman of distinguished ability, and long
identified with the temperance cause in the
State, prepossessed, as he would necessarily be,
by all his antecedents, intimates doubts, in a late
communication, as to the constitutionality of the
legislation proposed by the Atlanta Convention.
The distinguished writer cites three decisions
upon this point, made in the States of Dela ware,
Pennsylvania and Vermont. The courts did not
agree. The decisions in the two former States j
were against the constitutionality of such legis- i
lation. In the last the decision sustains the right, i
The principle, it fully developed, would result in
making each militia district an independent de
mocracy—a state of government never contem
plated by the makers of the Constitution.
Whether the legislation proposed be in accord
ance with the letter of the constitution or not, it
is clearly, I think, against the spirit of the gov
ernment. If it be contended, on the other hand,
that it is the Legislature and not the district,
which make the laws, and that the consent of
the district is a mere condition of its enforce
ment, one difficulty is avoided only to involve
ik advocates in another equally strong. The
practical operation of legislation would be th; t
some counties would decide against retailing, and
others would favor retail. Many counties would
be divided in their several districts. Laws should
be stable and uniform. The law sanctioned by
the advocates of the present movement, has not
the merit of efficiency and a beneficial practical
operation to justify such a capricious and unequal
legislation. To retail ardent spirits in certain
districts would be legal,—in others the same act
would be criminal, and might be highly punish
able. I believe this law would violate personal
rights which have not been granted to govern
ment, and the possession of which the interests
of society do not require. Civil liberty is natu
ral liberty, so far abridged, and so far only, as to
prevent attacks upon the rights of persons and
property. An individual may injure himself,
but must not injure another. There is as much
right to sell and buy liquor in small quantities
as in large, and in neither case is there necessa
rily an attack upon others. The tendency of
the law is to discriminate between different por
tions of the community. Some men, owing to a
want of means, would be excluded from the en
joyment of a right, to which all men are equally
entitled. The advocates of legislation state, that
the laws upon this subject, though good, if en
forced are of no avail, as they are constantly
violated. The practical results of past legisla
tion should foreshadow to them the inefficiency
of law upon this subject. The law against sel
ling liquor to negroes—about the propriety and
necessity of which there is no division—is prac
tically, of no effect. lam constrained to believe
that a law granting the power proposed is un
sound in principle, and inefficient to produce the
result intended. If a member of the next Le
gislature, I shall vote against such a bill.
I believe moral persuasion has done good—
that it will prove efficient in the end to arrest
intemperance. “ Hasten slowly,” is an ancient
maxim, the wisdom of which should warn men
from deserting safe and efficient means to correct
an evil, and hurry from excess of feeling into
advocacy of a measuie which cannot but excite
opposition. We should look to the gradual pro
gress of the mind and character, and not the au
thority of law, to make a people wise, moral
and happy.
Very respectfully, yours, E. M. Rucker.
A Voice from Cherokae.
One of the most influential Union Democrats
in Cherokee, Ga., writes to us in the following
manner.— Federal Union.
‘“The nomination of the Hon. H. Y. Johnson,
as the candidate of the Democratic party meets
with my most cordial approbation, and he will
secure, as he merits, the cordial support of the
Democratic party in this section of the State.—
There are a few r who have abandoned their prin
ciples, and have given in their adhesion to
Toombs, Stephens and Jenkins, in opposition to
H V. Johnson and the Democratic party, that
placed him in nomination, but their pi aces have
been supplied with such names as that of Doctor
H. V. M. Miller, of Floyd ; J. W. H, Under
wood and Col. J. M. Berrien, of Floyd; Judge
Wright and Col. Milner, of Cass; and Col. Dab
ney of Gordon ; and a host of others that a e do
ing battle for Johnson and the principles ot the
Democratic party.”
A correspondent of the London Times, wri
ting from Berlin, describes the causes of the ex
cessive emigration which is now taking place
from the Southern parts of Germeny. Though
troubles of a social and political nature contribute
to fill the cup of bitterness to overflowing, the ex
odus is mainly attributable to the great enhance
ment in the price ot provisions. In Bohemia and
Moravia hundreds of families are constrained to
subsist on grass and roots. In the Palatinate of
Rheinhessen, formerly remarkable for cheap
living, complaints of dear provisions have be
come general. Potatoes cost six times, hay five
times as much, as they did thirty years ago.
Even in Prussia the price of corn, (rye) has
more than doubled within a few years, and there
seems to be no prospect of remedying the evil.
According to some authorities this diminution,
or want of extension in the supply ot provisions,
is attributed to the increased cultivation of to
bacco.
Rogues Caught. —Our energetic and shrewd
Marshal, Capt. Wm. H. Dorsey, has captured
two rogues in this place within the last few
days. The first was a man by the name of
John Denton, from Chattanooga, Tenn., and a
member of Robinson & Eldred’s Circus Compa
ny, who robbed a Mr. Wright, at Lexington, of
about S9OO in money, two gold watches, and
notes. He had persuaded Wright to goto sleep,
and while he was taking a comfortable snooze,
rifled his pockets. In attempting to escape, he
rushed into the Captain 7 s affectionate embrace
who, always on the alert for such enterprising
gentlemen, calaboosed him. He has since been
taken back to Lexington to stand his trial.
A young man from Jackson county was also
arrested in this place on Tuesday morning last,
for stealing a watch and a small amount of mon
ey from the store oi Mr. John H. Newton, at
Harmony Grove, in the above county. Like
his predecessor, he came in the wrong direction
to escape. He appears to be quite young, and
we are pained to see any one commence a ca
reer of vice at so early an age.
Captain Dorsey deserves the thanks of our
community for the tact and perseverance he dis
plays in ferreting out stolen property, and ar
resting offenders. Within the last two years he
has-restored to the owners seven watches—six
of them gold—besides other valuable articles.
We advise all rogues to keep away from Athens;
for if the Captain gets on track, he is bound to
have them. If there are any young Marshals
who would like to acquire a greater proficiency
in thief catching, we advise them to take a few
lessons under the Captain.— Athens Banner ,

Our Consul General to Alexandria.—
Mr. Edward DeLeon, the newly appointed Con
sul General to Egypt, left this port in the Bal
tic yesterday, en route for Alexandria. In addi
tion to the ordinary functions of a consul he is
charged with a margin of diplomatic authority,
which, considering the present relations of Tur
key and her dependencies to the rest of the
world, he may be called upon to exercise. A
gentleman, however, of talents, education, and
experience, we have little fear of any indiscre
tion to the country, or himself, in the exercise
of the discretion which is attached to his respon
sible position. To be sure, in our late contest
upon the slavery question he was an ultra in
support of Southern rights ; but that fact will
be rather to his advantage than his prejudice
among the Turks and the Egyptians, who re
cognise slavery as an institution descended to
them from Abraham, and sanctioned by the
Prophet. In a word, we shall be disappointed if
the mission of Mr. DeLeon does not result, com
mercially and politica ly, to the advantage of
our country.— N. Y. Herald , 10/A inst.

Miscellaneous.
Eastern affairs look less pacific. Turkey has
formally demanded the armed intervention of the
four great powers. French and English fleets
were at Tenedos. News of the rejection of the
ultimatum reached St. Petersburg on the 24th
June. The Emperor, in the strongest language,
assured the English and French ambassadors,
that the destruction of his fleet would not prevent
him from invading Turkey. The fourth division
of the Russian Army had been ordered to enter
Moldavia. The Russian forces along the Black
Sea number one hundred and sixty thousand.
France offers Turkey sixty thousand muskets.
The Czar was greatly enraged at the conduct of
the English Premier.
The Chinese rebels are marching on Pekin.
It is reported that Gonzales Boavo is to succeed
Calderon at Washington.

Sailing of the Empire City. —The steamer Em

to day.
Export of Large Pine Timber. —Under
our ship news head this morning, (says the Sa
vannah Republican of the 14th inst.), will be
noticed the exports from (Doboy Island) Darien
of 44 large pine masts, believed to be as lons and
large as any ever exported from the United
States. We have not had returns recently from
Darien, but we think the exports of pine timber
and lumber this year, have been thirty
millions of feet, and-an equal amount has been
exported from Savannah. Georgia now exports
more pine lumber than Maine.
By reference to our advertising columns, it
will be seen that Maj. Cooper, of the Etowah
Iron Woiks, advertises for wagons, to do his
hauling. He says (and we presume is justifiable
in so doing,) that he cannot stand the rates
charged him on the Railroad. It is to be re
gretted that a man who has done so much for
this section of Georgia, and particularly the
State Road, should be denied the privileges of
that Road, on account of high rates. We think
it a great error to charge as much for a short as
a long distance. At least, very considerable fa
vors should be shown those having cofisiderable
freight. —Cassville Standard , 14 th inst.
On the same day, in the same court, and by
the same judge, a woman was recently sentenced
in London to six months’ imprisonment at hard
labor for stealing a pair of corsets ; and a man,
for kicking, biting, and beating his wife tfll she
was senseless, was fined £5.

Charleston, July 15.— Cotton. —When we closed
our enquiries preparatory to our report of the Bth
instant, the market exhibited a good deal of firm
ness, with the Good Middling and Middling Fair
qualities valued at 10$all cents. The week just
brought to a close, has been unusually quiet, and
the transactions exhibit some irregularity in pri
ces. There has, however, been very little Cotton
offering, and the qualities noticed above, fully sus
tained the position they occupied at the close of
the preceding week. The receipts since our last
foot up 2350 bales, and the operations in the same
time have been limited to some 1588 bales, at the
subjoined figures, viz—ls at 8$ ; 229 at 9 ; 62 at
9s; 17 at 9f: 29 at 9*; 135 at 9s; 8 at 9$ ; 16 at 10:
52 at 103; 40 at 10f: 51 at 101; 49 at 10*; 320 at
10$; 125 at 10 15-16; 346 atll: 100 at 11$; and 100
bales at lljc. The transactions in Long Cotton
have been confined to a few bales of stained Is
land Cotton.
Corn —This article is very scarce at present, and
commands high prices. There was an arrival of
some 3000 bushels North Carolina Provision Corn,
which sold at 75c. per bushel; and we learn that
several parcels expected from Maryland have been
sold at prices within the range of our quotations,
viz : 70a75c. per bushel.
Flour —The demand, which has been limited,
has been supplied at prices within the range of
present quotations. The sales, however, have been
confined principally to Baltimore descriptions, at
5$ per barrel.
Lard~~ This article has been very much neglect
ed lately, and some forced sales have been made
©f kegs, as low as lOalOj cents. The transactions
this week comprise about 400 kegs withiu this
range.
Bacon —Tho market has been in a state of com
plete stagnation throughout the week. There is
no demand for any description- Sides have been
freely offered atßjc.; Shoulders nominal at 6sa6|c.
Salt —Our quotations will give the stato of the
market. The demand, which is very limited, is
being supplied at prices ranging from $1 15 to
$1 25 per sack.
Molasses —The receipts since our last comprise
240 hhds. and 20 tierces Cuba, and 363 bbls. Now
Orleans. Tho former was afloat unsold when we
closed our report. A portion of the latter was sold
on terms not made public. Our quotations, how
ever, will indicate the state of the market at the
close of the week.
Freights —The rate to Liverpool has been atfd,
for Cotton in square bags during the week, and was
firm at this rate at the close of business. We quote
to New York nominally sc. per bale for Cotton,
and sc. per tieree for rice. There is nothing up
for Boston.

4 Good Comparison.—The Rev. Wil
liam Roulatt, a well-known Methodist
clergyman, residing at Naples, draws the following
amusing but apt comparison, between Dr. M’Lane’s
celebrated Vermifuge and a ferret: —
A ferret, when placed at the entrance of a rat
hole, enters the aperture, travels along tho pas
sage, seizes upon the rat, exterminates his existence
and draws the animal’s defunct carcass to tho light.
And in like manner I have found Hr. M'Lane's
American Vermifuge to operate upon worms, tho?o
dreadful and dangerous tormentors of children.
This remedy, liko the feret, enters tho aperture of
the month, travels down the gullet, hunts round
the stomach, lays hold of the worms, shakes tho
life out of the reptiles, sweeps clean their den, and
carries their carcasses clear out of the system.
This, at least, has been the effect of the Vermifuge
upon my children.”
A neighbor of Mr. Roulatt, Mr. John Bjiggs,
adopts the simile of the reverend certifier, thus
both giving their most unequivocal approval of
this great specific, after having witnessed its opera
tion upon their own children. Let others try 'it,
and be satisfied.

H. G. Farrell’s Arabian LiuimentX
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 ester
nal remedy. Its superiority over all other Lini
ments is proven by the miraculous cures it performs
and by the 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 possesses. 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 the whole system,
soothing tbo irritated 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 the tonsils, which grew larger and lar
ger, till when six years old had great difficulty in
swallowing her food. Every night watch waskept,
fearing she would suffocate. The best doctors at
tended her but could give no relief. I took her to the
most eminent doctors in the East; they said there
was no help for her but to outgrow it. With a sad
heart I returned homo with her, when she became 5
so much worse that tho doctors had to he called in !
again ; they decided that the tonsils must ho cut
off, as the only means of giving relief. My wife
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 bo desired. Your Liniment
is also the best in use for sprains, bruises, cuts,
burns, headache, etc , and it will remove the most
severe pain in a few mutes. It also cured caked j
udder in my cow in a few days.
