Tis Morn—the sea breeze seems to bring
Joy, health and freshness on its wing;
Bright flowers, to me all strange and new,
Are glittering in the early dew,
And periume rise from every grove,
As incense to the clouds that move
Like spirits o'er yon welkin clear;
But I am sad—thou art not here!
Tis Noon—a calm unbroken sleep
Is on the blue wave of the deep ;
A soft haze, like a fairy dream,
Is floating over wood and stream,
And many a broad magnolia flower,
Within its shadowy woodland bower
Is gleaming like a lonely star;
But I am sad—thou art afar!
’Tis Eve—on earth the sunset skies
Are printing their own Eden dies ;
The stars come down, and trembling glows,
Like blossoms on the wave below,
And like an unseen spirit, the breeze
Seems lingering ’mid the orange trees,
Breathing its music rout'd the spot;
But lam sad—l sec thee not!
: Tis Midnight—with a soothing spell
The far off tones of ocean swell—
Soft as the mother's cadence mild,
Low bending o’er her sleeping child;
And on each wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes of the mocking bird,
In many a wild and wondrous lay;
But I am sad —thou art away !
I sink in dreams —low, sweet, and clear,
Thine own dear voice is in mine ear;
Around my cheek thy tresses twine —
Thiue own loved hand is clasped in mine,
Thine own so’tfs lips to mine is pressed,
Thy head is pollowed on my breast;
Oh, I have all my heart holds dear,
And I am happy—thou art here.

Another Railrad Tragedy.
We have again to chonicle another railroad tra
gedy. The tidings of one catastophe has scarce
ly time to die away, before the public mind is
harrowed by the details of another.
Yesterday afternoon, at 4i o’clock, a violent
collision occurred on thej Camden and Amboy
Railroad about eight miles beyond South Am
boy, between the train which lelt Philadelphia
at 2 o’clock, p. m., and the train which left Am
boy at 4p. m. The collision took place at a spot
called Old Bridge, on a single track, and was
caused, as was reported last night, by the con
ductor of the Amboy train being a few minntes
ahead of his time, i here were six cars attached
to the Philadelphia train, and five cars attached
to that from Amboy. If the Philadelphia train
had not been going at a very slow pace—only
about five or six miles an hour—the loss of life
must have been tearful. As it was, the locomo
tives met each other with tremendous force. The
engineers had just time to jump off. The loco
motives were smashed, and the foremost cars
were driven back upon those in the rear. So vio
lent was the shock, that the first car upon each
train was driven into the second car, and com
pletely dovetailed. The collision occurred at a
spot where there is a severe curve. The track
near Old Biidge runs through a wood, and the
Philadelphia train had just come out of the
wood. The conductors could not see the op
posing trains until they were within three hun
dred yards of each other, although they distinct
ly heard each other's whistle. Immediately
upon the collision, one of the engineers alarmed
for the consequences, made his escape into the
woods.
Os the passengers on board the train from
Philadelphia, several were injured, but none
were killed. Five of the passengers on the Am
boy train were killed on the spot. Two of
these were men—one a German, just arrived
from California, and on his way home ; there
were also two women and one child killed.
The number of the wounded is variously sta
ted. but from information derived this morning,
from passengers who were on board at the time
of the catastrophe, w’e learn that not less than
20 were hurt—and more than half that number
were seriously injured.
The scene after the collision was most fright
ful. The cries of the wounded were drowned
by the wailings of their friends. People were
rushing about in a frantic manner, searching for
? relatives, while the friends of the dead rent the
air with their shrieks.
A meeting of the passengers was immediately
1 organized—a Chairman and Secretary appointed,
and strong speeches made denouncing the care
lessness of the Managers of the Road.
We must testify to the kindness of Capt. John
I Simpson, of the John Potter, who brought some
‘ of the wounded persons to this City in that
steamboat.
We are indebted to Mr. C. C. Fulton, of the
Baltimore American, who was a passenger on
{ board the train from Philadelphia, for the loilow
j ing full account of this sad accident:
f The train of cars which left Amboy at 5
o’clock yesterday afternoon, for Philadelphia,
W'hen at Old Bridge, eight miles from Amboy,
came in contact with the 2 o’clock train from
Philadelphia, causing a scene of horror almost
J indescribable. The train from Amboy was out
I of time, though tbe conductor declared his watch
was wrong, which led him to the error. The
train from Philadelphia checked up, and almost
at a stop, when the opposing train came sweep
ing along with great velocity, crushing the cars
of both trains as if they had been made of straws.
The train lrom New \ork was most seriously
damaged—four ol the passengers in the second
passenger car having been instantly killed, and
a number of others seriously injured.
The train from Philadelphia consisted of five
passenger cars, the first of which were torn to
j, pieces by the trucks breaking loose. The en*
'' tire floois were torn out, and the seats broken
into a thousand pieces, the passengers falling
through on the track underneath, especially of
the first car ; without material injury, however,
to any of ihein, except scratches and bruises.
There was also a great number, in both trains,
, slightly scratched and bruised, and a great many
j hair-breadth escapes were made. Mr. Charles
C. Fulton feli through on the track, the floor
being torn from under his feet, and escaped
without injury.
The accident undoubtedly originated in gross
neglect on the part ot the conductor of the train
from New York, who was twenty minutes be
j hind his time.
j The strongest indignation was felt by the pas
j sengers m relation to the accident, and resolu-
Itions of the strongest character were adonted,
denouncing the road and the officers.
Scientific Intelligence.
j A variety oi interesting and useful papers
j were read at the Scientific Convention,at Cleve
land. Among others was a long communication
by Professor Loomis, on the hail storm of the
Ist July, in which thestoiies which fell in some
sections of the country were from 2J to 3 inches
long and 2 wide. After a long description, the
professor gives the iollowing explanation :
What teas the Cause of the Haiti —The hail was
caused by a violent upward movement of the air,
carrying along with it an unusual amount of
vapor, which was suddenly condensed, and at so
low a temperature that it was frozen in large,
semi-crystalline masses. I hat three w’as violent
upward movent of the air appears from the fol
lowing considerations: Rev. G. W. McLane,
of Williamsburg, was in the street, near his
house, and noticed tbe coming up of the storm.
He says the cloud was very dense and black
moved rapidly lorward, and under the main
sheet the clouds boiled up in a violent and an
gry manner Others have testified to substan
tially the same facts. Again, it appears impos
sible that two currents in close juxtaposition
should blow from nearly opposite quarters with
such violence as to prostrate large trees unless
there is opportunity for the air to escape upward.
How was the Cold which formed the Hail Pro
duced ?—The temperature of hail-stones when
they fall is sometimes as low as 25 or even 20
deg. Fahrenheit. The temperature of the air
diminishes as we ascend from the earth. At a
height of 8,800 feet above New York it is esti
mated at 32 degrees in summer:
There was a hailstorm in * ranee on the 28th
of July, 1835, which covered the ground at the
foot of a mountain three inches deep with stones,
some of which weighed eight ounces; while at
a height of 4,800 feet up the mountion no hail
fell. ’ It is thought, therefore, that the bail of
July Ist, 1853, was not formed at an elevation of
more than 5,000 ieet. The atmosphere derives
its heat mainly Irom the eaith by radiation up
wards. Clouds intercept this rising heat, and it
therefore becomes unnaturally cold above. The
wind in this case came from a higher latitude, as
it blew from the northwest, it thesefore brought
with it a lower temperature. Another source of
cold is found in evaporation from the surface ol
the hailstones. If we moisten the bulb of a
thermometer its temperature sinks from evapor
ation. As the hailstone is in rapid motion, it is
cooled by evaporation to so low a temperature
that the surrounding moisture is condensed upon
it, and thus concentric lavers are formed.
How do Hailstones remain suspended in the ait
long enough to acquire a weight of half a pound, t
—1 conceive that hailstones are formed with
great rapidity. The vapor is condensed sudden
sed and almost instantly. I think that very
large hailstones may be formed in five min
utes. In a vacuum a stone would fall from the
height of 5,000 feet in less than twenty seconds
—but drops of water and hailstones fall with
only a moderate velocity; from my own observa
tion, I should think forty feet per second in the
July storm; at this rate a stone would be two
minutes in failing 5,000 feet; and if we suppose
it to start from rest, and its rate to increase uni
formly to the ultimate velocity of forty feet, the
time of fall would be in four minutes. The
strong upward movement which is known to
exist in the neighborhood where hail is formed,
is quite sufficient to sustain hailstones of the
largest kind, so long as they can be kept within
the influence of the vortex. I see no reason,
therefore, why hailstones cannot be sustained in
the air five or ten minutes, or even longer.
Why did the hail in the present case attain so
large a size ?—Because the circumstances were
unusually favorable to its formation. The at
mosphere contained about as much vapor as it is
ever known to hold in this latitude. This va
por was suddenly lifted to a region of great cold,
and rapidly condensed or frozen. The strong
upward movement helped to sustain the crystals
as they inc. eased, until the upward force was no
longer equal to gravity, or until they escaped
from the influence of the votex ; most of the
stones would fall in five minutes, and be of mod
erate size; others might be sustained ten or fif
teen minutes, and obtain enormous dimensions.

The Lumber Trade of Georgia.
The Lumber of this State is assuming an in
creasing importance each year, in consequence
of the decrease of White Pine in the forests of
Maine and other Northern States; and also from
the character of the Pitch Pine becoming better
known. Formerly, its uses were partial, but
now it is found equally valuable with Oak for
the beams, planking, and many other parts of a
ship; it is used instead of the White Pine for
deck planks, and it is also taking the place of
Spruce and Pme for the beams and sleepers of
large brick buildings. Its firmness renders it
particularly valuable for the latter purpose.
We find by reference to our tables that the
exports of Savanuah have increased w r ithin ten
years, over five hundred per cent., and we hear no
complaints about the decrease of the forests.
About one half ot the State is covered with
Pine, and the growth of ail trees is so rapid in
this climate that there need be no fear about ex
hausting the supply, unless the demand should
far exceed that of previous years. Unlike the
forests of the North, the same land will produce
again the same growth. The lands of Maine,
that produce the White Pine, are generally
sterile, and after the pines are cut oft', the next
growth is always different. *
The Savannah exports of Lumber, to date
lrotn Sept, i, 1852, are 30.350,000 feet, and by
the end of the year (Sept, i,) will probably reach
31 millions. The exports from the AltarnahS'
river, at Darien, lor the same time, are about 23
million ; and probably, the exports lrom the St.
Mary’s aud Satilla rivers, and other places, will
swell the total to near sixty millions of feet.
This includes square timber as well as sawed
lumber. We think the value at shipping ports
would be nearly one million of dollars, an
amount equal to the value of the Rice crop of
the State. Almost the whole value of lum
ber consists of the labor required to cut and
manufacture it, and transport it to its place of
destination; and the distribution of this labor is
so varied that it seems to given greater amount
of good to the working classes than any other
business that can be followed.
The Altamaha will afford a greater supply
than any river in the whole Southern country,
and we find that well directed efforts have been
made to prepare mills near Darien, to manufac
ture all that may be cut by the hardy Lumber
men.
We think about one half of the exports from
Savannah are in square timber. For ten years
previous to Sept. 1,1851, the expoits to Foreign
ports were about equal to those coastwise, with
one exception : of the 18 millions exported in
1846, over thirteen were to foreign ports, and
moie than eleven to Great Britain.
About two thirds of the exports of 1852 were
to foreign ports, and the past year three fifths
are to foreign ports. Great Britain is the best
customer, taking usually about half the foreign
exports to her ports direct, besides the large
amounts that go to the provinces of New Bruns
wick and Nova Scotia. Within the past year
several cargoes have been shipped to Spain for
the use of the government docks.
We have no means of refering to the exports
of previous years from any place except Savan
nah, but below we annex a table of the totals
for twelve years.

The Hermit of Chicago. —ls any trafficker
in romance wishes a hero for a fashionable dish
of literature, we can supply him. On Lake
Chicago, there are a number of small and lovely
islands, varying from ten to forty acres, lying
high above the clear waters, and displaying a
level surface, beautifully wooded with maples
and lindens. Upon one of these smallest slauds, a
young man has resided, so far as human com
panionship is concerned,for several years. He has
a neat cabin, and cultivates a few acres of ground
with his own hands, sufficient to supply him
with the necessaries of life. He is a gentleman
of education and fine literary taste, and has quite
a library of well-selected standard words. He
seldom visits the settlements, but is always
pleased to have people visit him, paying mark
ed attention to his guests, and entertaing them
in the best style liis domicil affords. Why he
has chosen this seclued way of life, no one
knows. He appears happy and contented—
neither a misanthrope, blunted to tbe social en
joyments of the world by misfortunes and dis
appointments, nor a bigoted anchorite, nor yet
a romantic fool.
Twenty-three Years in the Water. —The
Norristown, (Pa.,) Herald says that some twen
ty-three years ago—in the year 1830—a man
named Mr. McClay was missing from the neigh
borhood of Mr. Hitner’s quarries, Marble Hall,
about five miles below the borough, and, after a
long search, it was found impossible to discover
he body. Recently, the quarry being about to
be used again, au effort was made to pump the
water out in which they finally succeeded last
week ; and towards the close of the week the
skeleton ol this man was discovered. The wa
ter is very cold all the year round, and it was
thought petrification had taken place, but such
was not the case However, about nine years
after the accident, a large quantity of stone tell
in, and that may have struck and mangled him
He was found to be a complete skelton— noth
ing but the bones left. The shoes were as per"
feet as they were twenty-three years ago- the
stringsby which they were tied were as°readi!y
undone as though it had just happened. In the
sh< es was a portion of flesh : the buttons of his
'’ e f* were la *d as regularly where they had rot
ten off as though they had been placed there.
A very offensive effluvia erose, as if decomposi
tion had just commenced.
Banks in New York.— The whole number of
bankmg institutions in active operation in the
city of i\ew York is fifty-eight, twenty of which
of are situated at Wah street. It will startle
the reader some when we tell him that the
capital employed by these banks amounts to
about $50,000,000. Providence goes in lor
banks in great shape. They have twenty-six—
capital $8,857,687. Philadelphia has only fifteen
banks—capital $10,643,600. Baltimore has 12
—capital 5,652,831. Boston comes next to New
York as it has thirty-six banks, the total capi
tal of which is $27,000,000. The amount of j
capital of the banks in the five cities mentioned
above is $100,174,118 —quite a pile.— Boston

AUGUSTA, GA.
SUNDAY MORNING AUGUST 14.
FOR GOVERNOR,
HON. lIERSCHEL V. JOHNSON.
Os Baldwin County.
The Prospect.
The Editor of the West Point Bacon, who
has travelled through the greater portion of the
Fourth District, says “ From the lights now
before us, we confidently believe that Johnson
and Dent will carry this District by from fifteen
hundred to two thousand majority.”
Democratic Meeting—Col. Seward’s Speech.
The Savannah Georgian of the 12th inst.
says : We have time for but a brief notice of the
Democratic meeting and the speech of Col. Sew
ard, last night.
Though the evening was oppressively hot,
the assemblage was one of the largest political
gatherings which we have ever attended in Sa*
vannah. The few remarks of Messrs. Lloyd
and Griffin, and the longer addresses ol Messrs.
Cohen, Charlton, and Jackson, were all in admi
rable style and spirit.
But the chief attraction of the occasion was,
of course, the speech of Col. Seward. He com
menced by saying that he had linked his for
tunes, upon principle, with the Democratic par
ty, and with that party he would stand or fall.
He stood upon the Baltimore Democratic Plat
form —upon which every true friend of the South
and the Union should take position with him.
In relation to Savannah he said, that he de
fied any man to show that he had ever uttered a
sentiment inimical to her interests. That in
regard to the navigation of the Savannah river,
he regarded it as a question concerning not alone
this city, but the whole State of Georgia ; and
that, if elected, he would exert all his abilities
to obtain an appropriation for the removal of the
wrecks, and for re-imbursingthe corporation for
any expenditure which it might make towards
the accomplishment of that object. At the same
time he frankly stated his desire for the con
struction of the Brunswick read, that an outlet
to the Atlantic might thus be furnished to the
section in which he lives : remarking that if he
could thereby obtain for himself every vote in
Savannah, that would not be an inducement
strong enough to lead him to place himself in
conflict with the interests of other portions of the
District.
These are hut a few points in the speech of
Col. Seward, which, though he apologised for his
embarasssment in its delivery, was listened to
with a very high degree of satisfaction by every
Democrat—satisfaction which was testified by
frequent applause, as he proceeded, and more
fully shown by three cheers for him, as the meet
ing was adjourning.
Another of the great India Rubber cases be
tween Horace H. Day and the Goodyear party
was to have been tried in the United States
Circuit Court at Newport, Rhode Island on
Monday last. It is a suit in equity to enjoin
some of the parties connected with the rubber
shoe manufacture in New England, including
Nathaniel Howard and Dr. Hartshorn from any
farther use of the machine used in grinding and
forming India rubber into sheets, and spreading
it on cloth; and to recover the profits on the
same for the past three years. Mr. Day holds
the title to the chief patent, but his right under
it is denied : and it is claimed that the invention
is not new and that, if it is, William Judson
holds it in trust for the various manufactures.
This case has excited great interest with the
trade, as all who are connected with Goodyear
have acknowledged the legality of the patent.
Eminent counsel have pionounced Mr. Day’s
title good. A large number of persons interest
ed in the rubber trade, and lawyers, have been
making preparations for the trial.
The National Democrat says that the two old
cannons used by General Jackson in the battle
of New Orleans, which has been objects of curi
osity in the navy yard at Brooklyn were sold
under a general order made during the late ad
ministration to sell all the old guns. These guns
were highly prized in the navy-yard as relics of
the memorable Bth of January 1815, and were
objects of much curiosity on account of their sin
gular construction. The officers of the yard ap
pealed twuce to the government to spare those
two old guns, but the order was irrevocable, and
they were sold.
New Cotton. —The Mobile Tribune of the
9th inst., says: The first bale of the new crop
of cotton arrived on Sunday last per steamer
Azile. It is from the plantation of G. Breitling,
Esq., near Demopolis, and was consigned to W.
W. Allen & Co. It is clean and well ginned,
has a light creamy color and classes good mid
dling. The first bale last year came from
Montgomery'and was received here on the 19th
of August.
A Hungarian publishes a note in the London
News, saying that Captain Kosta, the Hunga
rian refugee who was recently taken prisoner at
Smyrna, never gave, and as a subordinate officer
could not give, the promise not to return to Tur
key. It is true that, during the detention of the
Hungarian refugees in Turkey, it was suggested
to them that a promise never to return might fa
cilitate their liberation, but the condition was not
accepted by them; and Gen. Meszaros, late Min
ister of War in Hungary, answered with charac
teristic manliness, ‘‘No conditions but liberty !”
That liberty was given to them without any con
dition: and Capt. Kosta, well known in the
army as a brave soldier, left Turkey with Gen #
Meszaros, and arrived, with one hundred of his
fellow countrymen, on the sth of June, 1851, at
Southampton.
Great Poultry Show in London. —The
London Summer Poultry Show was to open
about the first of this month. At the sailing of
the steamer, 1,500 of bird’s pens had been en
tered, exclusive ol the pigeon classes, which
will give a show of upwards of 4,000 birds.
The pigeon classes will consist of about 300
pens.
The Columbia Carolinian is gratified to learn
that the King’s Mountain Railroad is doing a
prosperous business. It has now been in opera
tion barely eightJmoaths,and has declared a divi
dend of four per cent., besides leaving a hand
some surplus. The superstructure of the road is
excellent, and the Company have erected in
Yorkville one of the finest depots in the State.
It is glad also to learn that real estate and landed
property hrve been greatly enhanced by the con
struction of this road. The village has a large
back country trade, and is now in the full tide of
prosperity.
, Th " Y t i . rginia Springs. —A late account
from the Virginia Springs s t a tes that there aie
about 850 at the White Sulphur, 590 at
the Rockbridge Alums, and 80 to 100 each at
the Sweet and Red Sweet.
Love-Sick Potatoes. —Dr. Malfatti, of Aus
tria, thinks he has found out at last the malady
which has caused this esculent to be S 5 diseased
and unprolific. It is nothing but love sickness —
pining after that beautiful intercourse which is
the source of joy and life to potatoes as well as
men. Listen. The doctor.has presented this
fanciful theory, and the remedy, to the savans of
Vienna. It appears from the proceedings of the
Royal Agricultural Society that this gentleman
has planted pieces of potatoe in juxtaposition
with roots of other nonallied plants, such as the
Helianthus tuberosus, Cyclamen, and also Card
vum Esculentum, which is not even tuberous.—
He asserts that the potatoes grew vigorously,
appearing to derive health frcpi the adjoining
plant, and absorbing their very flavor, while the
tubers produced were entirely healthy, though
the stock planted was defective. In one in
stance, he states that the potato was restored at
the expense of the nurse plant, which became
diseased.
Religious Revivals. —Our county (says the
Cassville Standard.) has been favored with re
vival influence, during the past few weeks, to a
very considerable extent. Rev. Mr. Strickland*
Methodist, in the neighborhood of Kingston?
took in, perhaps, between 70 and 80 members
while Rev. iV; r. Tomlin, on the 17th, baptized be
tween 40 and 50. In Cartersville, also, during
-the past week, the Methodists have had 16 ac
cessions.
1 he Columbia Carolinian says that Mr. Zim
merman has sold out Glenn Springs to the Epis
copal Church, for the purpose of eslablishing an
Episcopal Female Seminary at that place. The
price agreed upon is $15,000, with a reservation
on the part of the seller of the use of water tor
his ewn family and those who have heretofore
purchased lots from him.
The Comptroller of the New York State Fi
nances has refused to pay the members of the
Legislature of that State their per diem allow
ance for the forty days of recess which inter
vened between the regular and extra session,
notwithstanding that twenty thousand dollars
had been added to the appropriation bill for that
purpose.
A Second Crop. —The Delaware Gazette
says that a field which Hon. John M. Clayton
had in wheat the past season is now complete
ly covered with a second crop, which looks as
though it might choke out the young grass. It
is growing finely, and will afford a rich pastur
age this fall. This may be attributed to the
great amount of grain which was lost in cutting
and gathering, the quantity of straw being im
mense.
A Strong Team. —There are one hundred
and forty-one locomotives now in the employ of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railrad Company. The
Wheeling Gazette says that if hitched together
they would form a train over a mile long, and
present the most imposing spectacle of the age*
Several of them are capacitated to run eighty
miles per hour.
Consuls Appointed.— lt is said the President
has appointed George W. Fletcber, of Alabama,
United States Consul at Aspinwall, and Max
Stellheimer, of New York, Uuited States Con
sul at Stuttgardt.
Despatches in Relation in the Kosta Af
fair.—lt is said that/lespatches from Constan
tinople, relative to the Kosta affair, have beer?
received at the State Department in Washing
ton, and that they do not vary from the publish
ed accounts materially. All letters received 1
both private and official, declare that the uni
versal sentiment among the natives and the
foreign consuls was enthusiastic in favor of
Commander Ingraham’s conduct, on the grounds
of humanity and hospitality. The only regret
expressed is that he did not go a step further, and
recover Kosta at all hazards. The cannon of
the St. Louis were all loaded. The force ar
rayed against her consisted of the Hussar frigate,
a twelve gun brig, and four small steamers, each
mounting ordinarily four guns. Four guns ad
ditional to each were added during the night,
but Commander Ingraham had no doubt of his
ability to cope successfully with them all, by
dropping astern a short distance. It is also said
that had he known, what is believed in Wash
ington, that President Pierce would have sus
tained him, he would have made no compromise
jhort of Kosta’s liberty.
Virginia Debt and Resources. —An exhi
bit ot the public debt and resources of the State of
Virginia has just been prepared for the financial
public by the bankers of the Commonwealth,
Messrs. Selden, Withers & Co., of Washington
city, the substance ot which we find in the
Union, as follows:
The existing debt, on the 25th of March last
—although nominally nearly sixteen millions
dollars—is reduced, by a representation of old
and valuable, and uniformly dividend-paying
bank stocks, to an internal improvement debt
ol $10,553,615; and this sum, $6,134,645 is,
proporly, a canal debt, incurred in the construc
tion of the Great Kanawha and James River
Canal—leaving of the debt—
To productive railroad objects.. .$3,011,668
Miscellaneous and non-productive 1,387,302
The State, by recent act of the Legislature,de
termined to extend and encourage a more gene
ral and complete system of railroad improve
ment, and to this end fixed upon three-filths, or
sixty per cent., the aggregate cost of each trunk
line to which she proposes to extend her ai<’, as
the basis of a direct line, or contingent loan of
credit and public faith. The aggregate cost to
the State ot this system, in any possible or con
tingent event, (the whole calculated to be com

Rum Drops.— The New York Times com
ments in severe, but just terms of censure upon a
new form of canfectionery, calculated to cheat
the young and unsuspecting into acquiring a
taste for intoxicating liquors :
This disguised emissary of the fiend is a sugar
preparation of alcohol in*the shape of drops or
lozenges, and which might be more appropriate
ly named ‘ Rum Pills.'' 7 They are manufactured
by confectioners not as peppermint and other es
sential oil drops are prepared by combination,but
the brandy, rum, or gin is enclosed in the sweet
globules. In this form the drops are sold at the
most respectable saloons. Ladies and yonug
girls, who would shrink from the touch of the
intoxicating cup as they would from pollution,
do not hesitate to swallow in this form the dis
guised and sugar coated poison, which is made
doubly dangerous by the form in which it is
presented to the palate.
Tjik Recent Duel in South Carolina.—
The Charleston papers maintain a profound si
lence in regard to the causes that led to the duel
which took place near that city last week. The
Washington Star, however,supplies the following
particulars:
We learn from a source in which we place
confidence, that the very recent duel between
Messrs. Dunovant and Davidson Legare, occur
ring in the vicinity of Charleston, grew out of
difficulty about a lady to whom the former is
said to be engaged. Legare challenged and Du
novant accepted the challenge, choosing pistols,
three paces; the first fire to be determined by
tossing up. Dunovant won it, and, of course,
shot his antagonist through the heart, his pistol
being within five or six feet of L.’s breast.
A paper submitted to the Association for the
Advancement of Science, by Prof. Blodget, of
the Smithsonian Institute, states the following
interesting facts :
* Ihe portion of the Continent east of the Rocky
Mountains differs essentially from the western
portion, and from Europe, in regard to the dis
tribution and amount of rain, its fall is sym
metrical and general, not irregular and local.
The actual amount annually falling is greater
in low countries, and decreases with the eleva
tion.
It is greater in the Mississippi valley than on
the Atlantic coast, in the same latitude, by
about one-eighth.
. It is less in the Alleganies than on the Atlan
tic coast, in the same latitude, by about one
eighth.
The law of distribulion is deduced as one of
regular decrease in amount with decrease in
temperature, whether that decrease of tempera
ture is due to increased elevation or higher lati
tude.
The sources of supply of moisture are consider
ed as lying beyond the surface atmosphere.
Freight on Wheat Reduced.— Our agricul
tural friends will be gratified to learn that the
Superintendent of the Western & Atlantic Rail
road has given another manifestation of liberali
ty in the shape of a very considerable reduction
of freight on wheat, when shipped to depots 20
miles distant from Atlanta and Chattanooga.—
The rates now chargeable are as follows :
For 10 miles and under 3 cts. per bushel.
“ 20 “ “ over 10 4 “ “ “

“ 80 “ “ 60 6 “ “ “
“ 100 “ 41 SO 7 “ “ “
“ 140 “ “ 100 7 44 “ 41
The distances on the line of the road will be
estimated according to the annexed schedule :
Bolton, chargeable as 10 miles.

This reduction is directly advantageous to pro
ducers and consumers, inasmuch as it is a dis
tinction made in favor of wheat shipped to mer
chant mills. Such as falls into the hands of spe
culators, an seeks remoter channels of com
merce, of w uich the State Road forms but one
link, will be subject to old established rates.—
Surely under the present efficient management,
the day approaches, when the road will become
what it was designed to be, a work of pecuniary
interest to the people at large.— Dalton Times ,

Louisville, Aug. 9. —lndian Battle near Fort
Kearney. —Late advices from independence state
that a party had just come in lrom Fort Mackey
who reported that a large party of Indians were
awaiting Major Fitzpatrick’s movement, who
was engaged in distributing goods as presents.
The day after the party left Fort Mackey they
encountered a number of Kioaws, who reported
that a great battle had occurred near Fort Kear
ney, and it was said that the Sioux and the
Cheyennes tribes were almost extinguished, so
great was the loss on either side.
Philadelphia, Aug. 10.— Later from Porto
Cabello.—' The barque Venezuela, which arrived
to-day from Porto Cabello, states that communi
cation with Cumana being cut off’, nothing is
known as to the state of affairs, except what
leaks out. It was reported that the insurgents
had defeated the Goverment troops, and marched
into Barcelona. The writer doubts the story, as
well as that of the earthquake having caused so
great a destruction of life.

It was rumored at Constantinople that the
French members had assured the Porte that
France w’ould, single-handed, assist Turkey if
England should evince any signs of hesitation
in the matter.
Advices from Odessa state that additional Rus

said to be advancing towards the Danube.
In the South of Germany there are strong in

Baltimore, Aug. 12. — The Gardiner Case. —
The Grand Jury have found an indictment
against John Chailes Gardiner for perjury, al
leged to have been committed on the late trial.
The bail has been fixed at $4,000.
The motion for a continuance of the former
case has been received, but the Counsel for the
United States objected on the grounds that the
return of the Commission from Mexico is soon
expected. The consideration of the motion has
been deferred until next week.
Baltimore, Aug. 12 .—Troops for the Rio

troops at Fort Hamilton for the Rio Grande°
She will, however, touch at New Orleans.
Baltimore, Aug. 12.— Important from the
Fishing Ground. —The U. S. steamer Fulton has
arrived at Portsmouth, N. H., and Commander
Paulding immediately left with important dis
patches from the Fishing Grounds. An Ameri
can fishing schooner had been captured by the
British steamship of war Devastation,jand taken
into port, but subsequently released. There is
considerable feeling evinced in Portsmouth
against the course pursued by the British Au
thorities.
Baltimore Aug. 12.—1 n New York on Fri

Fatal Casualty. —One day last week while,
Messrs. J. and Russell Turner, sons of Mathias
Turner, Esq., of Euharly Creek, Cass county,
were out hunting, and while but a few steps
distant Irom each other, the trigger of the gun
in the hands ol thejformer become entangled in
the brush wood, by which the gun was discharg
ed, and dissressing to relate, the contents lodged
in the heart of his brother; killing him, of
course, instantly. The deceased has left a wife
and one child. The agony of the surviving
brother has almost driven him to insanity.—
Cassville Standard, 1 lth inst.
And Yet Another. —About 6 o’clock yes
terday evening, a gentleman named Williamson,
was shot dead in Chattanooga by a ball from a
pistol in the hands of a drunken man. The
shot, we understand, was accidental. It appears
that the parties had no feeling of enmity against
each other; but the drunken man was holding
the pistol carelessly in his hand, when by some
means or other, it was discharged, lodging its
contents in the heart of Mr. Williamson, who
was standing close by.— lb.

A ‘‘Nugget,” of gold weighing one hundred

How Low they Estimate Us !—lt is rather
provoking to us Union Democrats, for the oppo
nents of Gen’l. Pierce to ask and apparently ex
pect us to abuse his administration, because they
say he don't give us a fair shaie of the offices.
Now, our motto is, and always has been, meas
ures—not men, and principles— not spoils.
When we voted for Gen’l. Pierce we were in
fluenced by no motive , save the advocacy of the
principles we believed best calculated to advance
our country’s welfare. We never advocated
any mat’s election with the hope of office or
spoils. No motive so base or dishonorable ever
for one moment influenced our political course.
No personal abuse or unjust treatment can drive
us from the support of our principles. No per
secution can change our political opinions—they
have been formed honestly and upon our delibe
rate judgment; and those who think that we
are influenced by the hope of reward or the fear
ot punishment, are widely mistaken. In behalf
of Union Democrats, we scorn such an insinua
tion.—Cassville Standard , IliA inst.
