Our Youngest.
We knelt at evening by his couch,
Our hearts brimful of joy ;
And thanked our Father for the gift
Os this, our darling boy.
m
W r e gazed upon his snowy brow—
His lids closed o’er his eyes—
And thought, “ How beautifully here
Our sleeping Eddy lies.”
His red lips parted; two small teeth
Shone out like little pearls,
And on the pillow fell a shower
Os bright and shinning curls.
He was our youngest, boat beloved,
And we'a happy pair!
We gently pressed bis dimpled hands
And gently kissed his hair.
So night came down, and with the morn—
The Sabbath morn of love—
We sought him, but our Father God
Had called the boy above.
Oh! never more his soft blue eyes
Will meet the gaze of ours,
Oh ! never more his red lirs breathe
The fragrance of the flowers.
Oh ! never mere his tiny clasp
Around our necks be drawn,
Nor music of his angel voice
Awake us at the dawn.
Wc knelt beside an empty couch,
That holiest morn of seven !
The sun had arisen on earth ounce more,
Our son had arisen in heaven !

Down among the Dead Men.
To verify the many horrible reports of the do
ngs among the dead, we the other day visited
the cemeteries. In every street were leng pre
cessions, tramping to the solmn music of funeral
marches. In the countenances of plodding pas
sengers were the lines of anxiety and grief, and
white hangings, the voiceless witnesses of wail
ing and of sorrow. On the one hand slowly
swept the long corteges of the wealthy, nodding
with plumes and drawn by prancing horses, re
joicing in their funeral vanities; on another, the
hearses of the citizen-soldier, preceded by mea
sured music, enveloped in warlike panoply, and
followed by the noisy tread of men under arms ;
while there again the pauper was trundled to his
long home on a rickery cart, with a boy for a
driver, who whistled as he went, and sw r ore a
careless oath as he urged his mule or spavined
horse to a trot, making haste with another mor
sel contributed to the grand banquet of death.
Now among the steeples was heard the chiming
of the bells, as of Ghoules up there, mingling
their hoarse voices as in a chorus of gratuiation
over the ranks of lallen mortality. Anon from
some lowly tenement trilled, the low wail of a
mother for the chiid of h=r affections, while from
the corner opposite burst the song of some low
bacchanal, mingling ribaldry with sentiment,
or swearing a prayer or two as the humor moved
•him.
The skies wore a delusive aspect. Above
was all cloudless sunshine, but little in keeping
with the black melancholy that enveloped all
below. Out along the highways that lead to the
cities of the dead, and still the tramp of funeral
crowds knew no cessation. Up rolled the vol
umes of dust from the busy roads, and the plumes
of the dead carriages nodded in seeming sym
pathy to the swaying cyrpresses of the swamp,
enveloped in their dun appareling of sweeping
moss—fit garniture for such a scene.
' At the gathering points carriages accumula
ted, and vulgar teamsters, a3 they jostled each
other in the press, mingled the coarse jest with
the ribbald oath ; no sound but of profane male
diction and of riotous mirth, the clang of whip
thongs and the rattle of wheels. At the gates,
the winds brought intimation of the corruption
working witnin. Not a puff but was laden \yith
the rank atmosphere from rotting corpses. In
side they were piled by fifties, exposed to the
heat of the sun, swollen with corruption, bursting
their coffin lids, and sundering, as if by physical
effort, the ligaments that bound their hands and
and feet, and extending their rigid limbs in
every outre attitude. What a feast of horrors !
Inside, corpses piled in pyramids, and without
the gates, old and withered crones and fat hux
ter women, fretting in their own greases, dis
pensing ice creams and confections, and brushing
away, with brooms made of bushes, the green
bottle-flies that hovered on their merchandise,
and that anon buzzed away to drink dainty inha
lations from the green an J festering corpses.—
Mammon at the gates was making thrift outside
by the hands of his black and sweating minions,
that tendered sweet-meats and cooling beverages
to the throngs of mourners or of idle spectators
who, inhailing the fumes of rotting bodies, al
ready “heaved the gorge,' - ’ while within, the
“ King of Terrors” held his Saturnalia, with a
crowd of stolid laborers, who, as they tumbled
the dead into ditches, knocked them “ about the
mazzard,” and swore dread oaths, intermingled
with the more dreadful sounds of demoniac jolity.
, Long ditches were dug across the great hu
man charnel. Wide enough wejee they to en
tomb a legion, but only fourteen irjfhes deep.—
Conffins laid in them showed their tops above
the surface of the earth. On these was piled
dirt to the depth of a foot or more, but so loosely,
that the myriads of flies found entry between
the loose clods, down to the cracked seams of the
coffins, and buzzed and blew there their ovaria,
creating each hour their now hatched swarms.
but no sound was there of sorvow within
that wide Gehenna. Men used to the scent of
dissolution had forgotten all touch, of sympathy
Uncouth laborers, with their bare shock heads
stood under the broili: g heart of the sun, dig
ging in the earth, and as anon they would en
counter an obstructing root or stump, would
swear a hideous oath, remove to another spot
and go cn (figging as before. Now and then the
mattock or the spade would disturb the bones of
some former tenant of the mould, forgotten there
amid the armies of the accumulated victims, and
the sturdy laborer with a gibe, would hurl the
broken fragments on the sward, growl forth on
energetic d—n, and chuckle in his excess of glee.
Skull bones weie dug up from their long sepul
ture, with ghastliness staring out
“ From each lack-lustre, eyeless hole.”
without eliciting an “ Alas, poor Yorick,” and
with only an exclamation from the digger, of
room for your betters !”
Economy of space was the scource of cunning
calculation in bestowing away the dead men.—
Side by side was laid two, of gigantic propor
tions, bloated by corruption to the size of Ti
tans. The central projections of their coffins
left spaces between them at their heads and
heels. This was too much room to be filled
with earth. How should the space be saved ? —
Opportunely the material is at hand, for a cart
comes lumbering in, with the corpses of a moth
er and her two little children. Chuck the child
ren in the spaces at the heads and heels of the
Titans, and lay the mother by herself, out there
alone ! A comrade for her will be found anon,
and herself and babes will sleep not the less
soundly from the unwonted contact!
The fumes rise up in deathly exhalations from
the accumulating hecatombs of fast coming
corpses. Men wear at their noses bags of cam
phor and odorous spices—for there are crowds
there who have no business but to look on and
contemplate the vast congregation of the dead
They don’t care if they die themselves—they
have become so used to the reek of corruption
They even laugh at the riotings of the skeleton
Death, and crack jokes in the horrid atmosphere
where scarcely they can draw breath for utter
ance.
The stoical negroes, too, who are hired at five
dollars -per hour to assist in the work of inter
ment, stagger under the stifling fumes, and can
only be kept at their work by deep and con
tinued potations of the “ fire water.” They gulp
deep draughts of the stimulaUpg fluid, and reel
ing to their tasks hold their noses with one hand
while with the other they grasp the spade, heave
on the mould, and rush back to the bottle to
gulp again. It is a jolly time with these ebon
laborers, and with their white co-workers, as
thoughtless and as jolly, and full as much intoxi
cated as themselves.
And thus, what with the songs and obscene
jests of the grave diggers, the buzzing of the
flies, the sing-song cries of the huxter-women
vending their confections, the hoarse oaths of
the men who drive the dead carts, the merry
whistle of the boys, and the stifling reek from
scores of blackened corpses, the day wears apace,
the work ot sepulture is done, and night draws
the curtain.
[From the Federal Union , 16f/t.]
Hard Put to it.
i( is amusing to witness the efforts of the
M Legion” Party to find some accessible means
of reaching the personal and political character
of Judge Johnson. He was first denounced by
the Savannah Republican as a “ spirit rapper ;”
the editor himself having been one of the first
Apostles to the belief, and an active propagandist
of the truths of these miserable humbugs. But
Judge Johnson’s friends (and more lafcerly his
own refutation has been added) pronounced the
charge to be false. That misarable attempt to
injure a man, because he had been anxious to be
informed of the correctness or falsity of an al
ledged phenomenon in physics, was an offspring
of an enemy devoid of every spark of fairness
and decency.
But this Roorback was short lived. The next
charge was far more serious, and, coming from
the source it did, it was particularly obnoxious
in the eyes of good men and candid men of all
parties. We refer to the charge of one of the ed
itors of the Recorder of the unscripturalness of
Judge Johnson’s Address to the Wesleyan Fe
male College, an address which was endorsed by
the autnor of the charge before his “ sober second
thought ” suggested that political capital might
be made by raising the cry ot unscripturalness—
but as this charge has been so promptly met, and
the author so signally rebuked for his intemper
ate, and illiberal remarked, we drop the subject,
and proceed to the next charge, viz: That
Judge Johnson'was a Disunionist and a Seces
sionist. We might offer as a rebuttal to this
charge the simple monosylable Lie, and leave
the perpetrators to dijest the medicine at their
leisure. But we will take their own proof and
convict the men, who make the assertion, of
wilful misrepresentation. They have produced
a letter of Judge Johnson to his friends in Wash
ington county in 1850, (and here I take occasion
to thank the Recorder and the Chronicle & Sen
tinel for publishing the letter entire.) The spirit
of the whole letter of Judge J. is readily seen to
be, indignation for what he thought to be an in
jury done the South and the Southern people. Bid
no where in the letter does he propose secession or
disunion as a remedy for the injury done. He calls
on the South to unite and maintain her rights
“in the Union.” What ate Toombs and Ste
phens and k 'the illustrious Jenkins” doing at this
moment, but urging the people of Georgia to
have no connection with any National Party.—
Yet these very men with their backers are
charging Judge Johnson with being a Secession
ist and Disunionist! We deny the charge—we
pronounce it false. Judge Johnson never advo
cated secession for anything that had been done,
and we defy his malicious slanderers to “ face
the music’’.and bring the proof. Judge John
son will meet his accusers before the people, on
the merits of this charge, or any other, and he
will challenge the proof —let them produce it if
they can.
These are, in the main, the charges which the
friends of Mr. Jenkins have brought against
Judge Johnson. Two of them personal, and
stand rebuked by public sentiment—the other
political, and is proven to be unfounded by the
testimony of the very men by whom it was
preferred. Judge Johnson glories in his De
mocracy—no Algerine Laws, or Laws for the
benefit of privileged classes, stain his political
record. He is every inch a Democrat, hence
his opposition to all attempts to curtail the rights
and immunities of the people.
Georgia Politics. —The people of Georgia
ai e now in the midst of a warm campaign,
which must result in the election of a Governor,
Congressmen, and the Legislature. Living in
a few miles of the State line, we feel a deep in
terest in her politics, and would like to see her
steadfast in the Democratic ranks. But while
we admire the political spirit of the people, as
regards their energy and intelligence, we de
plore the unsettled position of the supporters of
H. Y. Johnson. When it comes to the issue,
whatever may be the private motives or feelings
of a few, or a party of men, they never achieve
any thing by disorganization. There must be a
union of action to meet united opposition. It is
quite impossible to suppose that many Whigs
will allow themselves to be drawn into a Scott
party while they are in a minority , and every
thing said to that purpose is only a subterfuge to
help on the schism in the Democratic ranks.
There is but one real issue now in Georgia,
as we consider the subject, to be decided this
fall; and to it all other questions are of minor
importance. The issue is simply, shall she sup
port the present administration ?
Thfr administration is national and Democratic,
and. if H. V. Johnson be elected by a clear ma
jority, it shows that the people are satisfied and
pleased with the President and his policy; but
if C J. Jenkins be elected, we must look upon
the State as arrayed against the President and
his patriotic cabinet.
In this light, to us outsiders, appears the real
nature of the contest. What matter is it, then,
whether Johnson is a “ fire-eater” or a Union
man, so long as he is a Democrat and a friend of
President Pierce and his policy ? It is true there
may be questions of difference in the two wings
of the Democratic party in Georgia, but are they
so momentous that they must sever and separate
the party and allow the opposition to triumph ?
We cannot see it of this all-sufficient impor
tance at this time, but quite the reverse. Ten
nessee has done her duty nobly, and the party
united to obtain this grand victory. So let it
be in Georgia. Let there be an earnest effort
' to aid the national Democracy, and the local
elections, in such instance, Will be of the right
stamp and character— Chattanooga Adv., \Q>th

Jenkins not the Author of the Georgia
Platform.— We learn that Mr. Stephens is
basing the claims of Mr. Jenkins upon the fact
of his being the author of the Georgia platform.
Is Mr. Jenkins the author of the Georgia plat
form ? He"is not. The very fourth resolution to
which Mr. Toombs ascribed so much signifi
cance, in his Jire-eating speech at the conven
tion, and, indeed, the only one looking to the
protection of the South in the future, was op
posed by Mr. Jenkins. We challenge the Iriends
of Mr. Jenkins to publish that resolution as Mr.
Jenkins desired it. The fourth resolution dis
tinctly avers that Georgia should resist, even to
a dissolution of the Union, any act of Congress
abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia;
yet Mr. Jenkins contended that Congress had
the right to abolish slavery in the district. It is
simply ridiculous to say that the fourth resolu
tion emanated from Mr. Jenkins’ pen, when
many of its sentiments are diametrically oppos
ed to his “settled conviction.” The “ Georgia
Platform” came from the Committee. But The
crowning merit of that production belongs not
to Mr. Jenkins.— Federal Union, 16 th inst.
A Union Democrat tossed overboard in
the 4th District. —After Col Murphey re
fused to run as the Algerine candidate for Con
gress in the 4th Congressional District, it was
said that Col. Tidwell, a Union Democrat,
should be nominated to fill the vacancy. But
the Algerines were a little doubtful ol the expe
diency of running another Democrat, for fear he
too might leave them in the lurch. So they
went to work and put up one of the dead man’s
ticket —atertium quid —Col. Jas. M. Calhoun.
Not content with ignoring the claims of Mr.
Tidwell and the Union Democrats, the Algerine
Convention went further, and nominated one of
t °r bs strea k —an original Webster man.
W e need not urge upon the Democracy of the
1 1 organization and action. The people are
aroused—they are in favor of free suffrage, and
opposed to reviving the Webster doctrine of “ no
more slave territory.” Call the masses together,
get popular speakers to address them on the is
sues of the canvass, and Johnson and Dent will
carry the 4th district by 1,500 majority. So
mote it be.— l/nd. J J
Neutralizing Offensive Odors
North British Agriculturalist furnishes a state
ment of Lindsey Blyth, in relation to a verv
successful experiment for destroying a most of
fensive smell in a stable, arising from a decom
position of urine and dung. He tried the mix
ture of Epsom salts and Plaster as Paris, (gyp.
»«»> —“ the most wonderful effect followed and
the stable-keeper was delighted.” Previously
the stable was damp and unwholsome; and if clos
ed for a lew hours, the ammoniocal vapors were
suffocating. After sprinkling the sulphates un
derneath the straw, and along the channel of
the drain, the smell disappeared, and even the
walls became drier. He recommends as an eco
nomical preparation for this purpose and for sew
ers, magnesia limestone dissolved in sulphuric
a cid, (forming sulphates of magnesia or Epsom
salts,) with a portion of super-phosphate of lime
(made by dissolving bones in sulphuric acid)
these, at the same time that they return the es
caping ammonia, also add greatly, by their own
presence, to the value of the manure.
Self-Control. —It seems to me that all times
are alike adapted for happiness, and that if we
grow old, as one should grow old, the last days
oflife must be the happiest of all. Every stage
of life is but the preparation for the next one. It
is the treasure house in which are collocted all
the pleasures that are to make the future time
happy. The child has, indeed, but few troubles,
but they &re as great to him as larger ones prove
to his porents. I asked a friend once, speaking
of the happy cloudless days of his childhood, if
he would like to be always a child 1 He stopped
for a moment, and then said, No. I think he
was right. There is progress in everthing—in
our means of happiness, and in our capacity for
enjoyment. Then let us look back upon the
time-wrinked face of the past, only with feelings
of regret. Give me the present, glowing and
full of life, and the future glorious with bright
visions. I would rather look forward than look
back; rather spend the golden hours in working
out present happiness than in vain regrets for
the past. It is but the helm with which to steer
our onward course. The future lies before us. It
is the steep and rugged mountain up which lies
our way. It is not genius nor fortune that paves
the way to eminence, but earnestness —self-con-
trol—wisdom. These are in our hands—let us
use them, and when, at the sunset of life we
turn to look back on our path and see it stretch
ing iar down before us peacefully, happily we
may lay ourselves down to rest.
Indigenous Cotton from Paraguay. —We
saw, yestearday, at the offices of the Manchester
Commercial Association, a sample of 269 bags
of native Paraguay cotton, gathered in a wild
state, and recently arrived in Liverpool from
Monte Video. It is not cleaned, but has a long
staple, like Pernambuco cotton, and is fine and
strong in quality. Some parties, authorities as
to the value of cotton, estimate it as worth lOd
to 12d per lb; others are inclined to rate it at a
rather lower figure. But there can be no ques
tion that it is a good, serviceable cotton, and
that if it could be imported in a clean state and
in good condition, it would soon be extensively
used. It is reported that large quantities of this
cotton grow wild in the country, far inland, but
with good river communication. As Mr. Drab
ble, a mercantile gentleman, who takes a strong
interest in the culture ot cotton, and who,through
the Manchester Commercial Association, was
furnished by the Earl of Clarendon with letters
of introduction and recommendation to all her
Majesty’s consuls throughout the countries wa
tered by, or bordering upon, the river Plate, had
arrived out at Monte Video, and would shortly
commence a tour of observation throughout
Paraguay, &c., we may shortly expect to learn
something more definite as to quantities of this
cotton growing wild, and the practicability of
having it cleaned and shipped. It is scarcely
necessary to add, that, in all tropical countries
where the plant is found indigenous, it is peren
nial : and this adds considerably to the agricul
tural and mercantile value of this natural product.
[Manchester Guardian , July 27,
Return of a Young Adventurer. —Five
years ago—upon the receipt of the first news of
the discovery of gold in California—a boy of
fourteen years of age might be seeji patiently
laboring among the stumps on a new piece of
land in Michigan. He was an intelligent, in
dustrious and good boy, liked by the neighbors
and idolized by his immediate Iriends. He was
seized with the gold fever, and Norval never
“longed to follow to the field some warlike lord,”
as he did to get into a Colifornia placer. But
how to get there was the question. His entire
capital consisted of two Digs, a cads, half a dozen
chifkens, a three months’colt, a homespun suit
of clothes and a dollar and a half, which he was
keeping for the approaching Fourth of July.
But go he must, and go he did, as a sort of “cook
and bottle washer” for a party of adventurers
who took the overland route. He made the
journey in good health, reached the mines in
good season, labored as hard as any one of his ma
ture associates, and after having cheered the
hearts of the “old folks at home” by more than
one golden remittance, is now on his way back
with his’pockets respectably “full of rocks.” to
make the family happy by the return of so good
a son and so loving a brother.
The Caloric Engine. —lt i 3 stated that
“ some difficulty has sprung up between Messrs.
Hogg & Delemater, of New York, and the Crys
tal Palace officials, and the former have with
drawn their application for a place to exhibit
Ericsson’s caloric engine, constructed by them
for that purpose. Mr. Holmes, the superinten
dent of the machinery department, had made
special arrangements to measure exactly the
consumption of fuel in a given time; also, to
ascertain the precise amount of power evolved
from such consumption, by means of the dyno
meter ” Can it be that these arrangements
were distasteful to the intended exhibitors?
Woman’s Rights in Danger. —Bishop An
drew, of the M. E. Church, South, in a late arti
cle on Emory College, expresses the fear that all
the educated young women of Georgia may not
find suitable husbands. He says there are now
being educated at the different fema e Collegiate
institutions in the State of Georgia about fifteen
hundred girls annually, besides .a considerable
number who are sent North to receive the pol
ishing touch in some fashionable female boarding
school, where they may learn to dance gracefully,
dress elegantly, and above all, to spend money
freely and handsomely. Turning, then, to the
male side, he says there are only six hundred
young men who are annually receiving a Col
legiate education. So here we have 600 young
men to 1,500 young ladies. “ Where, in the
name of common sense, are one half of these
finished young women to find suitable husbands?”
The Bishop thinks that progress lor a tew years
in the same ratio, caring for the girls and neglec
ting the boys, is likely to bring about the reign
of woman’s rights, without any necessity for
speech-making petticoat-conventions. In this,
we slightly differ from the Bishop, since a good
husband is one of woman’s dearest rights.—

Pennsylvania Coal Trade. —The anthra
cite coal tonnage last week was light, mainly
in consequence of another breach in the Dela
ware Division. The Reading Railroad Compa
ny, for the week ending on Thursday, brought
down 39,752 tons, and for the season to the
same time 953.558 tons, 59,535 tons less than
last year to the same time. The Schuylkill
Navigation for the week brought down 26,599
tons, and for the season 464,856 tons, 36,532
tons more than to the same time last year. The
shipments of coal upon the Lehigh Navigation,
for the week ending the 6th inst., were 18,233
tons, and for the season 557,341 tons—a falling
off, as compared with the production to same
tune last year, 13,962 tons.
A Good Scriftural Name.— The Richmond
1 imes relates the following :
A gentleman travelling in a section of country
which shall be nameless, stopped at the house of
a pious old woman, ami observing her fondness
lor a pet dog, ventured to ask the name of the
animal. The good woman answered bv savins
that she called him “ Moreover.” 3 3 8
“Is not that a strange name?” inquired the
gentlemen.
“ Yes,” said the pious old lady,“ hut I thought
it must be a good one, as I found it in the Bible ”
“Found it in the Bible!” quoth the gentle
men. “ Pray in what part of the Bible dul von
find it?” 3
The old lady took down her Bible with the
utmost reverence, and turning to the text, read
as follows:
“Moreover the dog came and licked his sores.”
“There,” said she .triumphantly, “have 1 not
highest authority for the name ?”

Fatal Effects of the Hot Weather in
New York.— The New York Day Book, of the
15th inst., says:—“The intense heat continued
yesrerday with scarcely any abatement. There
was a fine breeze throughout the day; but the
thermometer indicated the same heat we had
suffered the four previous days. Its effects
have been terrible, particularly on the laboring
classes. Since last Tuesday there have been
nearly two hundred deaths reported in this city
from sun strokes. The great heat commenced
on Wednesday last, and lasted till last night,
when a shower came up and cooled off the at
mosphere somewhat. We have thus had nearly
a week of excessive heat.

A curious will case has occurred in Kentucky
The will of the late Dr. Charles Caldwell was,
on the 18th ult., admitted to probate in Jefferson
county, and among its devises were several to
Miss Warner, (his half sister.) She was one of
the witnesses to the will, but as the laws ol Ken
tucky declares that if a witness to a will is a de
visee therein, the legacy is violated, and must
revert to the other heirs, she thereby loses the
legacy bequeathed her. Some of the creditors
of others, to whom Miss W.’s legacy would re
vert, have commenced suit to recover them-.

progress and prospects of ship building in New
York, says: “ One hundred and twenty-fiv e
men are engaged in the yard of Wm. M. Webb,
who has three vessels on the stocks. That
nearest to completion, and which will be launch
ed next week, is a fine steamship, 1,500

of the Augusta, and also intended for the Savan"
nah trade. She is 220 feet keel, 35£ feet beam,
and 22 feet hold. Her oscillating engines will

Charter Secured. —The Hamburg Repub
lican, of the 17th instant, says: Knowing the
deep interest felt by many of our readers in the
Savannah River Valley Railroad, we take great
pleasure in announcing that a sufficient amount
of stock has been subscribed to secure the char
ter. The company will be organized early in
October, and operations speedily commenced.
Although we have the most flattering prospects
from all quarters, and.the “ building of the road
rendered reasonably certain,” we still invoke
continued energy in procuring subscriptions to
stock. .
A gentleman who arrived from Cuba in the
Empire City, states tha’t the yellow fever is still
raging with dreadful fatality in different parts of

who hadsa considerable number, has lately lost
three quarters of them by the disorder.
Serious Charge.— H. Everheart and Eliza

Interesting to the Poultry Society.—
The hens of Mr. Ira Hamlin, at Plainfield, N
H., are the most diligent and smartest hens in
the world. They have yielded him, since the
first of last January, that is, in six months, 1,989
eggs—each hen, on an average, producing 105
eggs; one out of this whole number had a handl e
to it. Twenty-four hens, consisting of a com
mixture of different breeds, during the same time
as above, have yielded 2,664 eggs, or, on an aver
oge, 111 eggs to each hen, and what is more,
every one of the eggs have been handled.
A Prefer ence por a State Prison. —ln the
Municipal Court of Boston, on the 11th inst.
Lemuel N. Clark, on a charge of larceny from a

quest, however, the sentence was changed to the

Arrival of Three New Revenue Cutters
The cutters Caleb Cushing, Robert McClelland
and J. C. Dobbin, named after three of the me '
bers of President Pierce’s Cabinet, arrived at
New York on Saturday, from Somerset, Mass.
These vessels complete the squadron of six to be
fitted out by Mr. Arthur Leary for the Treasury
Department.
Potato Ror.—The Monticelio (N. Y.,)
Watchman says the potato rot has made its ap
pearance in that city. The frequent recurrence
of rain will afford a good opportunity to test the
opinion entertained by some, that a continuation
of wet and hot weather, when the root commen
ces ripening, is almost sure the develope the rot
extensively.
Plate for the White House. —Messrs.
Bailey & Co., of Philadelphia, have at their es
tablishment a quantity of plate and table orna

The Russian Government is about to have
measured the degrees of the meridian from the
North Cape, in 72i deg. of the same latitude—
that is, on a line which traverses Europe in its
whole length, and forms about a fourteenth part
of the efitire circumference of the earth. This
measurement will exceed by three degrees the
largest ever before executed—-that which the
English carried from the Himalaya to the south
ern point of British India.
The Lumber trade through Lake Champlain
is rapidly increasing. Much of what formerly
passed from the Ottawa down the St. Lawrence, !
now take this route, and the amount will con
tinue to increase with the increase of facilities.
The construction of the contemplated canal from
the St. Lawrence to Lake Champlain would
render this trade one of the most important
known to our inland commerce. And that
canal will be built sooner or later, for its impor- i
tance is appreciated on both sides of the line
and is so full of promise, as an investment, that :
the required capital could be easily raised if our
Canadian neighbors would but “ set the ball in
motion.”
Senor Ignacio Miera, of Alzondones, New
Mexico, on the Del Norte, about forty miles
south of Santa Fe, sold this year to Mr. Bernidet,
of the Moro, the product of a flock of 1,000 ewes
for something over $2,275. His ewes yielded
him over 1,300 lambs, for which he got
$1.75 a head when nine months old. The
actual cost of putting the lambs into market can
be known only by taking into view the average
annual expense of keeping up his whole stock of
sheep, and estimating the total product. But it
is supposed that the cost of these lambs, if set
down at S3OO, would be overstated. There is
now probably no part of the United States of
equal extent which is so well adapted to sheep
husbandry as New Mexico.
The Crops. — Arkansas. —The Little Rock
Gazette and Democrat of the sth inst., speaking
of the growing crops, says :
From information gathered from farmers from
different portions of our State, we a.3 led to be
lieve that the corn orop will rather exceed an
average crop, if it does not equal that of last
year, which was, probably, the largest yet gath
ered in the State. The cotton, too, looks exceed
ingly well, and exhibits a healthier appearance
than is usual, at this season, promising to the
planter a rich harvest to repay him for his la
bors.
The Washington Telegraph of the 3rd inst.,
says :
Every day brings us favorable intelligence of
the growing crops. In this and the adjoining
counties the prospects for both corn and cotton
are highly flattering.
Nfav Cotton. —The first bale of new cotton
was received in this place yesterday morning,
by Waller & Terrell, from J. H. Cogburn, Esq.,
and was raised on the plantation of the estate of
J. R. Conyers, by Wm. G. Rudder—the quality
classed middling. The cotton was offered at

A Full Mission Offered to Judge Jackson
—Judge Henry R. Jackson,.who has been for
several days at Washington, receiving his in
structions previous to setting out on his mission
as Charge de Affaires to the Austrian Govern
ment, left Washington on Friday last for New
\ ork, and will sail in the steamer which leaves
that port on the 20th inst., for Liverpool
The Washington Star, of Friday last, says:
We hear that the President offered Jud°-e
Jackson to avail himself of the authority accord
ed to him by a law of the last session, in the
matter of raising the Austrian Chargeship to the
grade of a Minister resident, in view of the in
creasing importance and delicacy of our current
relations with that Government. Congress
however, having failed, in the hurry attending
the closing of the session, to appropriate for the
pay of a resident Minister rather than for a
Charge at Vienna, Judge Jackson gracefully de
clined to accept the honor, without the necessary
accompanying means to keep up its dignity, of
appearances.”
When we consider the peculiarly delicate rela
tions at present existing between our Govern
ment and Austria, and the urgent necessity
which exists for an able representative of the
highest rank and dignity at that court, we can
not doubt that Congress will, among its first acts,
upon the recommendation of President Pierce,
make the nec°ssary appropriation for maintain
ing a full mission at Vienna. Clothed with the
powers of a Minister Plenipotentiary, Judge
Jackson would be found equal to any emergency
that might arise, and would, by a prudent, firm
and patriotic discharge of his ministerial func
tions, reflect honor on himself and on his coun
try.
Yellow Fever on the John Cummins. Dr.
Demere, the health officer of this port, yesterday
visited the ship John Cummins, in Cockspur
Roads, and found the steward, one of the two
men heretofore alluded to, in a dying condition,
while the other is not considered out of danger.
All necessary provision have been made for the
comfort of the sick, and the safety of others on
board, who are not allowed to communicate
with any person off the vessel, except the health
officer of the port. No new cases have occurred.

Bank Changes. —Hon. W. M. Chiirchwell
has sold the Bank of Knoxville to H. A. M.
White, Esq., for many years cashier of the
branch of the Union Bank at this place. Mr.
White is a gentleman of superior business quali
fications, and from his long experience in the
business, will doubtless make the Bank of Knox
ville a valuable concern to the business interests
of East Tennessee.
Col. Hu. L. McClurfg, the efficient and popu

signed his position as cashier of the Bank of
East Tennessee, and is succeeded by Sami. Mor

Weather and Crops. —The Shreveport De
mocrat, of the 4th inst., says :
We have made extensive enquiries respecting
the crops in this and the adjoining parishes, and
in consequence can furnish our friends at a dis
tance with statements upon which they can rely.
Corn is made, and the crop full—ample for all
purposes. The cotton crop is still mixed up
with uncertainties, and must be for some time
to come. The worm is still dreaded by our
planters, but no sign of the genuine caterpillar
yet, as far as we have been able to learn. The
hill crops at present promise to be as abundant
as they were last year, but the cotton land crops
have been so much damaged by excessive rain,
that there is no reasonable hope of a yield any
thing like that of last year.
The Minden Herald, of Saturday last, says :
The weather is assuming a natural phase
again; not so wet and cold as it has been for
some time past. The cotton squares had com
menced falling off, but it is thought they will
stop now.
The Shreveport Southwestern, of Wednesday
last, says:
The recent dry weather has greatly improved
the cotton in this parish, and gives promise that
the crop will be a good one. A merchant of this
place, just returned from a journey through East
ern Texas, informs us that, with the exception
of Harrison county, the crops of cotton and corn
will be larger in that section of country than at
any time during the last three years.
Domestic Animals in the United States.—
According to the census returns the number of
horses in the United States, at the last enumera
tion, was 4,335 355, or in about the proportion
of one to five of the inhabitants. New York
has one horse to seven persons, Pennsylvania
one to six and six-tenths, Ohio one to four, Ken
tucky one to three free inhabitants. The num
ber of horses in the United States is more than
three times as large as that in Great Britain.
The asses and mules in the country number
559,229; the milch cows, 6,392,044; the working
oxen, 1,699,241, the sheep, 21,721,814; the swine
30,316,608. The total value of the live stock in
the country was estimated to be $543,969,420.
Vermont stands highest on the list of the North
ern States. The estimated value of her live
s*ock was $12,643,228. That of Massachusetts
was $9,647,710.
Fire.— We are pained to learn that Messrs.
Kidd & Brown, at Chesnut Hill, Hall county,
had their dwelling and store houses burned w r eek

industrious, clever citizens, and this misfortune
falls heavily upon them. —ithcns Banner , 18*A

. | ing, abort 10 o’clock, a young laday, about sev
enteen years of age, nemad Hnghes, who resided
in Syracuse, New York, and was on a visit to
1 j some friends in this city, was drowned at the
j foot of 79th street, East river, while bathing in
; company with a number of ladies and gentle
man. It seems that she was wading out on the
; point of a rock in company with a young man,
j who had hold of her hand,' when the current
swept them off. The young man saved himself,
; ! but lost his pantaloons, containing a few dollars,
i for which he evinced much concern, and offered
j a reward for their recovery. The body of the
I young lady has not been recovered.— N. Y. Day

Preventive of Sun Strokes. —An “old fish
erman” informs the New York Post that when
fishing in the middle of the day, he has placed
wet sea weed in the crown of his old straw hat,
and found it nearly equal to a bath, and a sure
guard against a stroke in the sun, and when sea
weed could not be caught by the boat side, his
handkerchief dipped in the writer answered
nearly as well. Any person passing along the
street, any laborer at work, any cartman feeling
oppressed, he says, can give instant relief by
placing a handkerchief in cold water, and then
to the top of the head.
Distressing C*ise of Drowning. —Rev. Mr.

a small boat, a few days ago, and on their start

overboard, with the child in her arms. Mr. J.
caught hold of his wife’s dress, and was also
drawn over board. They both went down to
gether, but in the struggle they become separa
ted, and Mrs. J. and the child were drowned.—
Mr. J. reached the shore nearly exhausted.

e and for a time, believed with his predecessors that
it was a case of Prolapsus. He was, however, soon
forced to the conclusion that his patient was suf
fering from worms, and afther much persuasion,
prevailed upon her to tako two dosos of Dr
