Sporting Intelligence. —The Saratoga Whig
gives the details of the great trot which took
place there on Tuesday, between Flora Temple
and Tacony, the two fastest nags in the world:
The match was for mile heats, the beat three
in five tb sulky, and Flora Temple was again
victorious, winning the first three heats. Time,
2.30—2.31—2.32,
The track was very heavy in consequence of
the great quantity of rain that had fallen during
the night and forenoon previous, but the pro
prietor of the course had taken extraordinary
pains alter the rain had ceased, so that the hor
ses made tolerably good time.
The First Heat. —Flora Temple won the pole
and took the lead and kept it without breaking
up at all during the whole round, coming in
from one ar,d a half to two lengths ahead, mak
ing the last half mile in 1.14. Tacony
up on the first quarter, but his driver toon
caught him up so that he lost very little. Time
2.50.
Second Heat. —The mare again took the lead
and went around again without a break, whilst
Tacony again broke on the first quarter and
came in some ways behind. Time, 2,31.
Third Heat. —Flora Temple had it her own
way, making good speed without a break, and
Tacony broke up twice, losing by every break.
The "betting was pretty heavy at the begin
ning of the race, and each horse had troops of
friends taking even bets, but at the commence
ment of the second heat Flora Temple was the
favorite, and the odds were 8 to 12 and 5 to 10,
and in one case 100 to 15, but on the last heat
the chances were so great in favor ot the mare,
that few bets were taken.
They are to have another trial on Saturday on
the Saratoga course, when we hope the track
will be in a little better order.
Steamship Racing on the Atlantic.— The
New York Commercial deprecates the excite
ment which is displayed respecting- the perform
ances of the Collins and Cunard steamers. The
editor says;
“We that merchants and un
derwriters, and the public generally, will earn
estly discountenance this whole business of bet
ting on the performances of our ocean steamers,
and converting the Atlantic ocean into a race
course. The insurance companies can greatly
aid in suppressing the dangerous practice, if they
be so minded, and to them the community have
a right to look for such protection as they can
give. If they raise the rate of insurance as the
excitement and betting increase, or refuse to in
sure when money is known to be staked upon
the rate of speed to be accomplished, the evil
would soon be abated.”
America in Less than Four Days. We
are enabied to announce that by a new and
much improved construction of vessels, it will
be perfectly practicable to accomolish the vcv
age between the United States and ’■he United
Kingdom in considerably less than four days; in
fact, about three and a half, the ports connecting
the old and new world being Halifax and Gal
way. This is no speculative statement. It is
grounded on experiments which have already
been made to test the sailing capabilities of ves
sels constructed on the new principle. With
the submarine telegraph which is about to be
laid dowß between Halifax and Galway, and
the passage of vessels in three days and a-half
across the Atlantic, America and Great Brit
ain will virtually become one colossal country,
inhabited and governed by the 3axon race.—

Commencement of Yale College.— The
exercises attending the commencement of Yale
College, at New Haven, were begun on the
27th inst. An immense coneourse of persons
were present. Seven or eight hfrndred gradu
ates attended the meeting of the Alumni, and
various speeches were made, after which Wm.
M. Evans, Esq., of New York, and F. M.
Finch, Esq., of Ithaca, N. Y., delivered an ora
tion and poem before the Lenonian Society, at
the North Church. This is the Society’s one
hundreth anniversary. Prof. H. B. Smith, of
N. Y., was the orator before the Phi Beta Kap
pa. Eulogies were also delivered upon the
deaths of Profs. Kinsley, Morton and Stanley,
all whom died within the year past. Appropri
ate remarks were made by Profs. Silliman,
Olmstead and Prof. Siliman, Jr. There are now
11,000 volumes in the library of the college,
and efforts are making to increase the salaries of
the Professors.
[ Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.]
Darien, July 29,1853.
Editors Republican —Gents: Our ship,
ments of Lumber are on the increase. For the
year ending Ist September last, there were
measured over 21,000,000 feet. Since that date
there have been received upwards of $22,000,-
000 feet, and by the close of the business sea
son, will amount to about $25,000,000 feet.
Eight large saw mills are in operation at this
time. Within three years over 500 vessels
have passed over Doboy Bar with full cargoes,
and in no instance has any accident occurred.
One of our oldest pilots says he can take a ves
sel from the wharves drawing from 12 to 14
feet water, according to tides, and from Doboy
to sea from 16 to 18 feet; and with the aid of
steamers, can take 20 teet. Another pilot says
he can take from the wharf 13 feet, and over the
bar 15 to 17 feet at ordinary full tides.
Yours respectfully, p,

Live and Let Live.
We publish in another column, a communica
tion signed “A Burke Planter,” not because we
think the writer has any claims on our columns,
(for we dislike publishing second hand articles,
particularly communications.) but because we
think he does great injustice to a class of our
met chants who work hard for what they get and
always keep in view the interests of their pat
rons. Nearly all our Warehousemen • are stig
matized by the writer as having entered into a
combination tor the purpose, as he intimates, of
fleecing the planters out of one hundred per cent,
in the shape of commissions. Such is not the
fact, and we would ask the attention of planters
to the few remarks we have to make on this
subject, in which thev are as deeply interested,
if not more so, than our,Warehousemen.
It has been the practice in this city for several
years past, for our Ware ousemen to charge
twenty five cent, per bale commission for selling
Cotton. When this charge was established,
labor, rent and other necessary expenses were
cheap compared to the present time, and they
all did a fair living business for the amount of
capital invested, and nothing more. Within
the last year or two, property has risen, and
with it rents and labor, but still “ A Burke
Planter” would have our Warehousemen labor
at old prices when the planter is getting a
much better price for his Cotton, and every bale
sold by our Waiehousernen for him puts in his
pocket fifty cents to one dollar per bale more
than if he bad undertaken the sale himself. Fifty
cent 3 commission is a’! they now ask for selling,
which is the price paid in Savannah. Chailes
ton and other mai kets for the same labor. Do
not our Warehousemen work as hard for this
pittance as those of either of the above cities ?
Is there a planter who has dealt with any of
them within the past five or six years, who is
not satisfied that he has not only saved, but
made money by paying them the commission
asked ?
4 A Burke Planter” says that may of them
have become wealthy in this business. If such
is the fact, we are at a loss to know who they
are, and will venture the assertion, that take
them as a class, there is no set of merchants en
gaged in any other line of business, and have
the same amount of capital invested, who work
harder and receive less compensation for their
services and money then our Warehousemen.
“ A Burke Planter” has undoubtedly the right
to sell his own Cotton if he pleases, and so has
every planter in the State ; but when he brings
his crop to market, if his next door neighbor
will give his to any Warehousemen in the “com
bination,” he will find that he has saved money
by paying the commission asked.
Live and Let Live is our motto, and we feel
satisfied that the communication of “ A Burke
Planter” will, as it ought to, have but little
weight with the intelligent planters of this
State. A majority ot them have tried the ex
periment of salesnien, and have found that in
stead of saving money, they have lost by the
operation.
We learn from the Hamburg Republican, that
a meeting was held on Saturday, the 30th ult.,
at Matlock’s Methodist Church, Beach Island,
for the purpose of carrying out the project of a
Plank Road from Hamburg to Barnwell Court
House, via Beach Island Silverton.
Savannah and New York Steamship Line.
—The Savannah Republican of Ist inst. says :
We are gratified to learn that this superior line
of steamer? is constantly becoming more and
still more popular with travellers, and that the
advantages of this route to the North and back,
are properly appreciated by the public. As late
in the season as it is, the Florida left her wharf
on Saturday last, tor New York, with 120 cabin,
and fifteen steerage passengers. This is cer
tainly the best evidence we can furnish of the
popularity of this line, and of the appreciation
by travellers, of the safety of the vessels, the
superiority of their accommodations, and of the
urbane arid courteous attentions of their com
manders. In all respects these steamships are
equal to the best now afloat. We wish the
company and their commanders, a continuation
of fair freights, full passenger lists, and most
prosperous voyages.
The British mail steamship Arabia, Captain
Judkins, sailed from New York at noon on
Wednesday, for Liverpool, with $675,482 in
specie, and 101 passengers, among whom were
the Hon. H J. Boulton, late Chief Justice of
Canada, and family, of Toronto; Sir Charles
Lyell, (Commissioner from England to the
Crystal Palace,) and lady; Mr. Wm. Mure,
Her Britannic Majesty’s Consul at New Orleans;
Reverends J. Graham and H. Rohe, missiona
ries to Central Africa and bearers of dispatches
to Liberia.
The LouUviile Courier says there has been no
time when the present and prospective pros
pects of that city were more marked than now.
It attributes this condition of f bings mainly to
the fact that Louisville is soon to become a great
social and commercial centre, at which will cross
the bulk of railroad travel, both between the
East and the West, and the North and the
South.
* Mr. Everett, late Secretary of State, is gene
rally known as a gentleman of extensive infor
mation, and one who will not “speak without
book” on important subjects involving statisti
cal facts. From a computation of his, it ap
pears that the use of alcoholic beverages cost
the United States directly in ten years $120,-
000,000; has burned or otherwise destroyed
$5,000,000 worth of property, has destroyed
300,800 lives ; sent 250,000 to prison, and 100,-
000 children to the poor house; caused 1,000
murders and 5,000 suicides; and has bequeathed
to the country 1,000,080 orphan children.
TheN. Y. money market is well affected by
the news from Europe. The Asia brings some
large accounts of sales pf American securities,
made in London, and.some orders, '
fidence seems also to prevail in a peaceful* tofu
tion of the Turkish difficulties. The fighting
attitude assumed by Russia will not end in
blows. Such is the feeling said to exist, ac
cording to private advices, both on the London
and Paris Bourses.
It is currently reported and believed to be
quite authentic, that the mother of the celebrated
French patriot, Lamartine, was a Massachusetts
girl, named Waitstill Brigham. She married the
father of the eminent statesman Lamartine
when quite young, in Boston, and then went to
France, where she remained during her life.
The health of the Empress of France con
tinues good. The presence of her sister, the
Duchess d’Albe, the only lady with whom she
has been able to associate on terms of perfect in
timacy and equality since her marriage, doubt
less contributes much toward restoring her gaie
ty and thus recovering her strength.

he leaves behind him a wife and four children.
Alleged Mail Robbery — A few days ago,
a young man named Wm. Tinnen, was arrested
in Fayetteville, (N. C.,) and committed to jail
on a charge of robbing the mail. This is pro

beries of the mail between Greensborough and
Raleigh have been very numerous for the last
few months.

[communicated.]
To Planter* and Country Merchants.
A number of Warehouse gentlemen, in the
city Os Augusta, having lately formed a combi
nation, for the purpose oi charging you one hun
dred per cent, more lor *elling your Cotton, than
they have been in the practice of doing for many
years past, I respectfully call your attention to
this attempt to extort from you.
As a proof that these gentlemen have, fo r
many years past, been satisfied with the prices
then received, they have annually renewed a
tender of their services, to their “ friends, and
the public in general,” and solicited “ a contin
uance of the patronage, heretofore so liberally
bestowed.” Now, if these gentlemen were not
satisfied with the business they had been doing,
why did they continue in it ? The truth is, that
many of them have become wealthy by this
business, and now live in a style of elegance,
equal to auy of their neighbors. With this, they
ought to be content, and I am willing to add my
mite, to enable them thus to live on, but it must
beat present prices for selling Cotton, more than
which I will not contribute even a single cent.
There are Warehouse gentlemen who are not of
the “ combination ;” let us all encourage them
to the entire exclusion of those who are thus
striving to force from the hard working farmer
one hundred per cent, more, than with what
these Warehouse gentlemen have heretofore
been perfectly content. I will not encourage !
such extortion, and earnestly advise you to join
me in showing Warehouse keepers that planters
and country Merchants know their rights and
how to protect them, A Burkk Planthh.

Augusta Market, August 3.
REMARKS.— In our| last monthly review, we
noticed that the crops, particularly that of Corn,
was suffering much from the drought, but since
that period we have been favored with copious
rains in almost every section of country heard
from, and the appearance of the Corn crop has de
cidedly improved. Where it was supposed not
more than a fourth of a Corn crop would be pro
duced, there is now every prospect of.two-thirds to
a full crop being made —the latter with late plant
ings. At any rate, there is no longer a dread of a
scarcity, and the speculative feeling which existed
at our la3t monthly review in this article has gra
dually given way, and Corn can now be purchased
in this market at 70 a 75 cents per bushel, with a
lower tendency. The Cotton crop has also im
proved in appearance, but some of our planters in
this section of the State are complaining of too
much rain, and express their fears should the
weather continue as it has been the past two or
throe weeks, that the plant will take a new growth
and shed its present fruit. It is, however, too early
in the season to express an opinion of the growing
crop, it being subject to so many contingencies bo
tween this time and frost. Should we be favored
with a favorable season the crop in Middle Geor
gia will, no doubt, prove a fair average one. We
see by the Albany (Ga.) Patriot, of the 29th ult.,
that a bale of new Cotton was sold in that mar
ket on the 27th, at 11 cents per lb. This is not
however, to be taken as a criterion of the forward
state of the crop. In the South-western part of
Georgia, they have not suffered as muoh from
drought as in other sections of the State, and the
plant generally matures oarlior than in the Middle,
or upper portions of the Stato.
The first bale of new cotton last year was receiv
ed at New Or eans on the 2d August. Experience
has proven that the date of receiving the first bale
of new cotton furnishes no criterion forjudging of
the probable yield of the growing crop.
By our monthly tables published below, it will
be seen that the Receipts of Cotton have increased

WOOL.—There is some demand for this article.
Plantors will find it to thoir intorost to save
thoir wool and send it to this market for sale; if

■^^ s The relaxing heats of summer leave
behind them a long train of evils. Tho
most universal of those are general debility, audits
sure|attendant lowness of spirits. For these we can
recommend a speedy and unfailing cure, in the
shape of Hoofland’s German Bitters, prepared by
Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia. It is, in our opin
ion. a medicine, suigeneris—alone—unapproacha
ble. It seems to reach the fountain head of the
difficulty in the digestive organization, and thus to
relieve the secretions and the blood as the maeeries
morbi, or the cause of disease. Its tonic properties
give vigor to the membranes of the stomach, and
promote the secretion of the gastric juice, which
dissolves tho food, while its cordial, soothing, and
alterative influence imparts general regularity and
strength to the action of the secretive organs, and
seem to fortify tho constitution. Such is our own
experience of its effects, and we believe it is con
firmed by the evidence of all who have tried it, or
had an opportunity of witnessing its operation.—

G * Farrell’s Arabian Liniment.—
■w' < -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 exter
nal remedy. It 3 superiority over all other Lini
ments is proven hy the miraculous cures it performs,
and by the great and constantly increasing de
mand. There has been sold within tho 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 pcssesses. 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 the 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 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 relict. 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 home with her, when she became
so much worse that tho doctors had to be called in
again ; they decided that the tonsils must be cut
off, as tho only means of giving relief. My wife
would not consent to this, and she determined to
try your Liniment, which gave relief tho 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 sprains, bruises, cuts,
burns, headache, etc , and it will remove the most
severe pain in a few mutes. It also cured caked
udder in my cow in a few days.
George Ford.
Peoria, March 20th 1849.
Look out for Counterfeits. —The public are cau
tioned against another counterfeit, which has late
ly made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Ara
bian Liniment, the most dangerous of all tho coun
terfeits, because his having the name of Barrel-,
many will buy it in good faith, without the knov -
lodge that a counterfeit exists, and they will, per
haps, only discover their error when the spurious
mixture has wrought its evil effects.
The genuine article is manufactured only by 11.

to whom all applications for Agencies must bo ad

4 Good Comparison.—The Rev. Wil
liarn Roulatt, a well-kown Methodist j
c^er gyuian, residing at Naples, draws the following
amusing but apt comparison, between Dr. M’Lane's j
celebrated Vermifuge and a ferret: —
A ferret, when placed at the entrance of a rat
holo, enters the aperture, travels along tho pas
sago, seizes upon tho rat, exterminates his existence
and draws the animal’s defunct carcass to tho light.
And in like manner I have found Dr. M Lane's
American Vermifuge to operate upon worms, those j
dreadful and dangerous tormentors of children, i
This remedy, like the feret, enters the aperture of
the month, travels down the gullet, hunts round
the stomach, lays hold of the worms, shakes the j
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 I
upen my children.”
A neighbor of Mr. Roulatt, Mr. John Briggs, !
adopts the simile of the reverend certifier, thus 1
both giving their most unequivocal approval of
this great specific, after having witnessed its opera- |
tion upon their own children. Let others try if, i
and be satisfied.

SOUTHERN MASONIC FEMALE COLLEGE
THIS INSTITUTION, located at Covington,
Newton County, Georgia, was adopted by the
' Grand Lodge of this State at its last annual Com.
, mnnication held in the city of Macon, and now pre
sents its claims to tho world, undor the auspices and
| patronage of that Grand Lodge. In making this
, announcement, it i 3 desired to be distinctly under
, stood that, while the College is now recognized as
| tho Protege of the ancient and honorable Order of
, Free and Accepted Masons, and is designed as tho
exponent of its noble purposes, and the agent of its
liberal charities, it was never intended that its gen
carl benefits and privileges should be restricted
within the limits of tho Masonic Tie. Its Halls
are, therefore, unreservedly thrown open for them,
spection and patronage of an enlightened and dis
cerning Public, who aro assured that, althoughthe
creeds and tenets of no particulai moral or religious
organization will be inculcated or enforced through
out the course of literary pupilage, all will be re
spected, and tho Word of God and the principles of
piety, enforced with parent kindness and affection,
will ever be {regarded as the primnm mobile of
disciplinary rule, and the happiest corrective of
youthful aberrations. In short, it was the origi
nal purpose of tho founders, and is now the design
of tho Grand Ledge, that in this Institution, devo
ted to all that is pure in morals, sound in faith, and
lovely in the mind and manners of Woman, the
Bible should be enthroned in its sanctuary of
“Light, and shed its hallowing rays over the
•whole curriculum of female studies and the forms
of College duty, softening the asperities of human
nature, and consecrating the affections of pupil and
instructor, anticipating the necessity of a sterner
discipline, and preparing the way for that unobtru
sive yet influential and enviable position in after
life, which awaits cultivated, refined and pious wo
man.
Tho College edifice is a chaste, beautiful and
durable brick building, flanked in front by two
elevated quadrangular towers, with an open portico
or verandah between, and situated iu a beautiful
and rptired grove, quite convenient to most of the
private residences of the village. The Institution
is already supplied with a large and well selected
Philosophical and Chemical apparatus of the new
est and most perfect models, for instruction and il
lustration in the important department of the Phys
ical Sciences.ByThe Board of Trustees, under tho
direction of the Grand Lodge, have elected Her.
Alexander Means, a. m. m. d., late Professor of
tho Physical Scionees in Emory College, to tho
Presidency of this Institution, and we are happy to
say that ho has consented to accept that office. For
the personal character of Dr Means, and his entire
ability to meet any educational responsibilities
which ho may be wiiling to assume, a discerning
; public will require no new guarantee, as he is ei
ten ively and favorably known throughout this and
: other States. His reputation, in connection with
! tho Georgia Conference Manual Labor School,
I from i‘s commencement until the opening of Emory
! Colloge, and his continued and popular labors in
i that Institution fiom its very beginning to the pres
ent time, warranttheopinionthat.no one i 3 more
ably qualified than himself for sustaining the high
trust now confided in him. His well known urbani
j ty of manners and suavity of disposition, bis high
1 order of intelligence and well regulated piety, eou
! nently qualify him for tho management and con
trol of a Female College,
i Dr. Means is authorized to visit tho North dur
; ing tho present Summer or Fall, and select, under
his own eye, such additions to tho Phsilosophical
I and Chemical apparatus as the progressive ad
vancemont of the age, in that department, may
furnish, and as shall enlarge and complete the set
wo already have, so as to give a commanding i®*
i portance to the branches of science, and allow the
I privilege of rendering attractive and enforcing the
| claims about tho kitchen and fireside whore woman
presides. M C. FULTON, A. M. an experienced
! teacher, and lately connected with the board of
: instruction in Franklin College, (the State Universi
ty,) R gentleman of amiability and worth, who has
heretofore had charge of the Southern Masonic
Fomale College since its first organization, has beef,
elected Vice President, and will continue his ser
vices to the College.
The Board of Trustees will spare no pains to
furnish an able board of instruction, as well for the
solid as for the ornamental branches of female ed
ucation, as the wants of tffio College may demand.
Further information will be furnished to the public,
when the details of its present organization have
been completed. The public are respectfully noti
fied that the next term of Collegiate duties nUI open
on Wednesday, the 24th day off AUGUST, instant,
and it is desirable that young ladies, who are in
tended ps pupils, should, if possible, reach the place

to make satisfactory arrangements for board, and
