Appioved August 4, 1554.
(from the Mai on Journal tis Messenger.)
Messrs. Editors : 1 noticed in your last is
sue under the head ot “A tale for the cuiious,”
a communication from Maj. Wilkes of Dooly
county, detailing what he supposes to be the
virtues of a stone taken by him from a deer’s
haslet. Ido not remember to have noticed the
article referred to in your paper of the sth of
July, relating to a stone possessing similar vir
| tures in Virginia, but I can give you a rather
stronger evidence than Maj. Wilkes has, of one
possessing the power of extracting poison from
the bite ol snakes, for I speak knowingly and feel
ingly U(kh) this subject.
it is,or was a tew years ago in the possession
of Mrs. Gibson, a highly estimable and worthy
widow, lately of Columbia county in this State,
about three miles from Appling, the county site,
and has been a sort of a “heir loom,” in the
family, probably for several generations. The
family came Irom North Carolina or Virginia, 1
forget which, nor do I remember ever to have
heard anyting o! its origin or first discovery, fur
ther than it was received from their fore fathers.
It may, or may not have been taken from «
deer—as to that, I have no knowledge. Until 1
was fifteen years ol J I resided within a mile of
Mrs. G., and was intimately acquainted with her
lamily. When a school-boy some ten or eleven
years old, 1 was bitten by what was called a
“highland Moccasin,” a species said to be very
poisonous. The virtues of this stone lor the bite
of snakes was such, that when such things oc
curred within convenient distance, little else was
thought of or resorted to, than its application ;
and in the case of myself, I w'eil remember in
the excitement ol the moment, my mother star
ted ofi a negro man in haste for it, forgetting
what she very w’eil knew', had it occurred to her,
that it was not to be entrusted to any one but
some known white person, a regulation Mrs. G.
had adopted for its safety. The negro very soon
returned, not with the stone, but soon after him
Mrs. G. herseil came with it, who lost no time
in applying it, which was simply to put it in a
tumbler of w’arin or tepid water lor ale v min
utes, usually three to five minutes—scarify the
part bitten, with the lancet immediately between
or over the places where the fangs of the snake
entered the flesh—wipe off the blood oozing
Irom the wounds, arid immediately L apply the
stone, after wiping it also, holding it on with a
slight pressure for a few minutes, when it would
adhere of itself until filled with the poison, when
it w f ould drop off—it was then put in the warm
or tepid water again aud remained as long as j
small bubbles ol water would rise from the stone !
to the top of the water. When the bubbles
ceased, it was cleansed and ready lor application ■
again, and continued so as long as it would ad
here to the wounded part, and which was as
long as any poison remained in the limb or sys
tem, the number of applications depending upon
the quantity of poison that seemed to have been
infused into the wound and throughout the sys
tem. In the case of myself, my recollection is,
that it was applied two or three times, occupy
ing probably several hours in all, when it would
no longer adhere the extraction of the poison
was complete. Except the tying of a bandage
tightly around the leg above the place bitten,
nothing else was done in my case but the appli
cation of the stone, and in a day or two I was i
well and again at school. I remember to have
had the usual feelings and symptoms attending
snake bites, nausea, dizziness, and tingling sen
sations in tact was quite sick lor a part of the
day it occurred, all which was relieved before
night, it having occurred very early in the morn
ing. One ot my sisters was also bitten by a I
very large water Moccasin.” near the residence !
of Mrs G bson on our return Irom school in the j
evening. Fortunately, we passed through Mrs. I
Gibson s yard to and from school. Hers was a
much worse case than mine; this happened about !
a quarter of a mile from Mrs. G.’s house as
soon as it occurred my sister ran with all her
might. I remember she kept ahead of all the
fioys, there being three or lour of us, and one
much older than my sister; all of us started after
her, lor in those days (and I am not very old.
not off the muster list yet) git If could run and
romp nome, a feat in these days they would not
like to be accused of On her arrival at the yard
gate ot Mrs. G. she fell apparently dying ; some
stimulant was immediately applied owing to her
.extreme exhaustion, but our good friend Mrs. G.
lost no time in applying the snake-stone ; my
sister suffered extremely, and for two days it
was doubtful whether she would live or die—the
fangs of the snake had penetrated some of the
veins about the ancle, and hence the poison was
more rapidly diffused throughout the system. In
tier case I think the stone was applied two or
three days before all the poison wa9 extracted.
1 remember also other applications were made
•luring her extreme illness, as they in no way in
terfered with the use of the ‘‘snake-stone,” and
they may have aided in her cure, but we relied
upon, and attributed her cure mainly, if not en
tirely to the stone, in my case as stated, rn th
ing else was done.
I hese two cases occurred in my mother’s fam
ily, and which I well remember. lam also un
der the impression that it had been used in our
lam ly on some ol the negroes that was bitten
by snakes, but of this my recollection is not per
fect. But I often heard of cases during my boy
hood, of its use and application; indeed in the
neighborhood it was the “snake physic” for all,
and when timely application was made it sel
dom, if ever, failed or success, unless when the
bite penetrated some large vein and some time
elapsed before it was applied. Ido not remem
ber any positive failure in existence of that
kind, but I am inclined to think there may have
been.
From the article in your paper, it would seem
that these snake stones were something new I
am rather surprised that so little seems to be
known of the one I speak of. I think I have
seen it mentioned in the newspapers (perhaps
of Augusta.) a-number of years ago. It was cer
tainly known extensively in the days of my
boyhood; persons sometimes came many miles
from other counties to Mrs. Gibson’s for its ap
plication. Dr. Jones the present proprietor of
the Chronicle & Sentinel, resided many years at
Appling, and practiced Medicine ir the neigh
borhood and no doubt in Mr. G’s. family. He
doubtless has seen it, and could give more precise
information about it. It has been many years
since l left the “old homestead.” But a few
years ago Mrs. G. was still living at the same
place, anl I presume is yet.
1 perhaps have said more about a mattter of so
little importance, than will interest you or your
readers, but it is an “o’er true tale” or “snake
story” if you please—one that reminds me of ear
ly boyhood, and I have rather unconsciously ex
tended my remarks in consequence of it.
As stated, I have no knowledge of its origin or
first discovery—whether it was taken from a
deer as Maj. Wilkes’ was or not. The one 1
have spoken of I do not think is quite as largo
as Maj. Wilkes’ I think it was of a dark greyish
color, and porous. Our fellow citizen, Charles
Collins. Esq., has one I presume similar to Maj.
Wilkes’, presented to him by Mr. Lippett of
Dooly county, and should an opportunity occur,
will no doubt be glad to make an application ol
it, and see if it pos-esses similar virtues.
As the Aborigines of this continent were for
ages shutout from the civilization, aud of course
deprived of the curetive remedies discovered by
the learned and scientific of the “old world,’’who
knows but it may be a wise economy of Provi
dence that this stone—(if possessing the virtues
Maj. Wilkes suggests, and found in the deer—the
deer, I might almost say, the natural food of the
Indian ) in providing a remedy in that way for
them ? p. E. B.
[From the Albany Express. ]
Remarkable Cholera Incident.— ln very
many instances of cholera, it is a fact, that life
and perception exist in the patients long after
both appear to have departed, and those around
them deem them dead.
The Atlas gave a striking example of this the
other evening, since when we have heard of an
other, none the less remarkable, and which is
vouched for by the attending physician. It oc
curred here in 1849.
The subject of the incident was an old and
eccentric citizen, and a good man, withal, well
known throughout the city. Antiquated in his
taste and notions, his invariable companion, at
all times ami on all occasions, was a hugS, old
fashioned silver “ bull’s eye” watch venerable
from aged and commanding both respect and at
tention from its colossol proportions and the
intelligible movement oi its ponderous works.
Now, as we have said, the watch was the in
variable companion of the old gentleman, and
he had conceived a pride and affection for it
which was only increased by the sundry inno
vations which at the date we speak of had been
so fully made, and which he received with in
tense contempt. Daily could he be met in the
streets, the watch suspended irom his neck with
a massive cord, and on the latter swinging %
brass key, of size proportionate to its service on
the "bull’s eye.” Every block or two would
the watch be pulled out, eyed with an unmista
kable expression of pride, affection and approval,
wound up, and again deposited in its quarters.
The operation was invariable—so much so, that
the “old gentleman and his watch” had mutual
ly become two features. One day, during the
cholera, in the year above given, the old gentle
man was taken down with it, and notwithstand
ing prompt and continued assistance, failed rap
idly, and, as it was thought, died.
His old and faithful watch—his attendent in
sickness as in health—lay during the illness
upon a table within reach ol the bed, its loud
tickings seemingly mournful and subdued, as
though conscious that each one brought it near
er to the final separation. While the physician
and friends of its master were standing near his
bed, consulting as to the time and manner of his
burial, the corpse, long since cold as ice and mo
tionless as the grave, without premonition, sud
denly straightened up, the eyes opened, the hand
stretched forth and seized the long loved-watch
—with careful fondness it was wound up, re
placed on the table, and the body fell back and
died 1 I'he consternation of the bystanders was
intense at this sudden and ghastly performance
and all save the physician and attendant fled :
these two promptly attempted to resuscitate, but
tile had finally fled.
We give this vouched-for fact as another in
stance of the strange caprices of the disease.
A Mountain Cave in Virginia Explored.
—A curious cave cn the top of the Long Lick
Mountain, near Purgettsville, Hampshire coun
ty, Va., has, from time immemorial, been known
to exist, but no one has had the courage to explore
it, until a lew days ago, when Prof. George Jor
dan in the presence ot a number of gentleman,
having let down a candle, and fastened one end
of a rope to a sapling, anu the other end around
his body, decended into its mysterious regions.
The Romney Argus says:
The entrance bears some resemblance to the
crator of a volcano, only smaller. The aper
ture at the mouth is not more than three or four
feet in diameter, but enlarges as you descend,
like an inverted funnel, the descent being per
pendicular the whole distance. Mr. J. descend
ed some sixty-four or five feet, when he
came to a spacious chamber, from which several
passage led off in various directions. These pas
sages are sufficiently large to admit a four horse
wagon. On arriving at the bottom, says Mr. J.,
and taking an upward view the scene is truly
appalling. Large craggy rocks seem ready to
tumble town upon your head, and soterriffic is
the sight that a universal tremor imperceptibly
creeps over the whole system. This cavern
does not seem to be inhabited by any living be
ing save a race of cheiropera (the common °bat)
which infest these regions by millions, and, for
aught we know, may be the winged messenger*
of Pluto. They uttered a {horrid cry and seem
ed disposed to dispute the right of the unwel
come and curious adventurer. We learned that
Prof. J. Intends making a more minute exami
nation of this wouriderful cave.
r I he Guano Trade. —Towards the close of
the late session ol Congress, the special commit
tee ol the House of Representative, to which
was referred the memorial of two thousand citi
zens of Delaware, praying the government of the
Uniter-States to effect some arrangement with
re™, by which, lor a just and proper equivalent,
the f eruvran government will either cede to the
United States one ol her guano islands, or, by!
lemoving the existing restrictions upon Ameri- 1
can vessels engaged in the guano trade, place the j
trade in that article upon a more just and liberal ;
basis, made an able report on the subject.
Three successive administrations have made !
efforts to induce Peru to enter into more liberal
commercial treaties with the government of the
United States, but such efforts, strong as they ‘
were, have been unsuccessful. With a knowledge i
ot these facts, and tbe reasons which have con
duced them, the committee feel authorized to re- !
commend that the President of the United States
again invite the Peruvian government to treat, |
with the specific right to our merchants to pur- 1
chase guano, like other products of Peru, upon
her own soil, and upon the terms of the most fa
voredjnation. They also reported a bill imposing
impost duties on a sliding scale, upon the Chincha
Island guano.— Wash. Sentinel.
AUGUSTA, GA.~
FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 18,1854.
Coroner's Inquest.
An inquest was held yesterday morning over
the body of a negro, found floating in the river, be
low the lower bridge. There were no marks of
violence about the body,and the jury brought in
as their venlict, that he came to his death by
drowning. Apparently he had not been in the
water over two or three days, but the corpse was
much swollen, so much so that it could not be
ascertained to whom he belonged.
Hail Storm.
We understand that Madison, Ga., was visited
onTuesday’afternoon last,by a heavy hailstorm,
which it is thought would damage the growing
crops of Corn and Cotton. The ground was
completely covered, and the hail of large size.—
How far it extended we did not learn.
Female Seminary.
We would call the attention of oureiitzens to
Mr. L. LaTaste’s advertisement in this day’s pa
per. A Academy 13 much needed in our city,
and Mr. L. enjoys the reputation, Female from
long experience, of being an excellent teacher.
Health of Charleston.
By the report of the city Register we see there
W'ere twenty-five deaths in Charleston during
the week ending on the 12th inst., vir: nine
whites and sixteen blacks and colored.
Medical College of South Carolina.
1 hose of our readers who contemplate attend
ing a course of Medical Lectures during the com
ing winter, will do Well to read the announce
ment of the Medical College of South Carolina,
in another column. The Faculty is composed of
some of the best and most distinguished physi
cians in the Union, and the inducements offered
to students are fully equal to those of any North
ern Medical Institution. Georgia and South
Carolina both have Medical Colleges, which
have earned a high reputation, from the ability
of their Professors.
A Curiosity for the next Fair.
A gentleman of this city, recently received
the following letter, w’hich we publish as writ
ten. It will be seen from its contents, that the
writer has a pair of twin Mules, which he con
templates exhibiting at the October Fair, in this
city. We are requested to state, by the recipient
of the letter, that he declines the proposition to
go on shares. Should the twin Mules make
their appearance, they will no doubt attract at
tention, and so will the owner.
“Dkr ser I heav a par of twin match mules 0

Know Nothings.
The Savannah Journal says: A correspondent,
(evidently a Know Nothing) calls our attention
to the '"impropriety of asking a man casually in
street or elsewhere if he or any other may be a
Know Nothing/ 7 To show this he wishes that
we publish the following oath, made before initi

evening of election day. This election, in
which the defeat of Col. Renton was the prime
object, not only with the Whigs but with a large
portion of the Democrats, says the New York
Sun, has called forth the strongest feelings of the
contending parties, ft has been a queer sort of
a contest, in which the Whigs, Democrats
“Know Nothings’ 7 and even naturalized citizens’
havejoined to turn “Old Bullion’ 7 out of Con
gress. It would appear that the injudicious
ness of his friends has contributed much to hi
recent defeat.
An attack was made on the office of the An
zeiger, a German paper in St Louis. Borenstein,
the Editor of the Anzeiger, assumes to be a lea
der among the Germans in St. Louis, and is one
of Mr. Benton’s most earnest supporters. It is
said, however, that but a small portion of the
Germrns follow his lead, as his extreme and vi
olent teachings are not pleasing to the majority.
I he St. Louis Republican of the day proceeding
the election has the following preface to extracts
horn the Anzeiger:
Ihe Anzeiger Des Westens has somewhat
cooled down, since it found out that not all ot
the 40,000 Germans were willing to serve in its
bondage, since experiei.ee has established that a
majority ot the Germans aie determined to put
down Borenstein and his clique, even if it can
only be done by sacrificing Benton himself. We
like tkat spirit which of late has manifested it
sell among a large portion of our German fel
low-citizens, and which is inimical to the disor
ganizing teaching of the Anzeiger, and most
dangerous to the cause ol Benton, and to the
success in Misaouri of the Abolitionists ol the
North.
i We have the St. Louis papers of the 10th insk.,
1 which furnish full details of the election for Con
gress, from which we learn that the majority for
Louis M. Kennet, whig, over Tbos. Hart Ben
i ton, whig, in St. Louis county, which comprises
the whole first Congressional district, is 1753. —
The Republican adds:
“ The returns by telegraph leave no reasona
ble doubt of the election ol John G. Miller, and
Gilchrist Porter, the whig candidates in their re
; spective districts, for Congress. The leturns
: lrom the other districts, though not very nume
rous, indicate the re-election of Mr. Oliver, Sam
Carutheis,aud Lindley—all whigs. We do not
claim their election as certain, but it looks that
way.
“ Our despatches show that we have a consid
erable sprinkle of whigs in the Legislature, and
have gained in some quarters in which gains
were not expected.”
Hon. David Outlaw, late M. C., has been
elected to the North Carolina legislature.
Mr. N. P. Willis is lying at his country resi
dence on the ill, and is not
expected to recover. His disease is paralysis of
the brain.
During the month of July there were 184
deaths in Washington city.
By the arrival of the schooner Sarah Maria,
at New York from Madeira, we learn that there
was another entire failure of the wine crop, the
blight having again appeared on the vine and
grape The U. S. ship-of-war Marion was at
Madeira on the 4th of July. The day was cel
ebrated with much enthusiasm on board of her,
and an exchange of courtesies between the Por
tuguese and Americans took place on the occa
•ion.
Mackerel are being seized in great numbers
along the southern coast of Nova Scotia. Every*
little creek and bay, from Cape Sable to Halifax,
is overflowing with them. They are taken in
nets, from one to six hundred barrels being se
cured at a single draught. Men, women and
children are employed day and night curing
them, yet the whole atmsphere is “odorous'*
with the stench of those impossible to bp taken
care of.
Brandy in Climbing Mountains. —A re
cent writer says : It is astonishing the effect
produced by spirits upon the persons ot even the
strongest constitution, when indulged in at an
elevation of 10,000 or 12,000 feet. At 12,000
feet it is perfectly dangerous to take any quanti
ty of raw spirits, as even a half a glass of biandy
produces intoxication. All hill travelers drink
nothing but hot tea ; for traveling up the moun
tains and down valleys, I "across bridges of very
questionable security, requires a firm and very
steady nerve, which it is impossible for those
who indulge freely in the nse of spirits to retain
long in the snowy regions.
United States Army.—A surgeon in the
United States Army recently desired to know
the most common causes of enlistment. By per"
mission of the captain, in a company containing
fifty-five, the writer pledged never to disclose
the name of officer or private, except as a physi
cal or metaphysical fact, the true history was
obtained of every man. On investigation, it
appeared that nine-tenths enlisted on account of
some female difficulty, thirteen ot them had
changed their names, and lorty-three were either
drunk, or partially so, at the time of their en
listment. Most of them were men of fine tal
ents and learning, and about one-third had once
been in an elevated situation in life. Four had
been lawyers, three doctor.* and two ministers.
Extension of the South-Westenr Rail
road. —Stew’art county has subscribed about
$125,000 in cash, and 300 hands for one year
Barbour county, Ala., has subscribed about $220,-
000 in cash, and there is no doubt but that the
subscription can be carried to $300,000.
Crime Orleans. —Francisco Lopez
was committed to prison on the 11th inst, charg
ed with assault with intent to kill Mr. Adolphe
Lange, commissary of the vegetable market. He
crept up behind him in the market and stabbed
him in the neck with a stiiletto. It is believed
that he was a hired assassin. The punishment
is death by the law of Louisiana.
Jack Morrissey, the prize fighter, has found his
match —having been married in Albany on
Thursday.
The cholera cases and deaths in Boston, con
tinue to decrease ; during the forty-eight hours
ending at noon on Saturday, there were only six
deaths.
It is said that 71,418 persons (enough to found
quite a large city) committed suicide in Paris, be
tween 1826 and 1852. In the last year the
number was 3,674. There seems to be some
thing in the very air of Paris that is calculated
to lead its citizens to commit suicide. In the
morning you will see a dashing young man or
woman promenading the street, with a heart ap
parently free from sorrow, or in the evening
merrily tripping it on the “light, fantastic, toe, 77
and in an hour afterwards you are surprised to
learn that he or she has committed suicide by the
dagger, by poison, or by drowning. The rope is
seldom used—ail Frenchmen considering hang
ing as decidedly vulgar.
Thos. L. Clingman and Ex Governor Reid will
no doubt be the next U. S. Senators from North
Carolina.
The Whig State Convention of New York, to
nominate candidates for Governor and other
State officers, to be voted for at the ensuing fall
election, is appointed to be held at Syracuse on
the 20th of September.
A great drought is felt throughout the State ol
Maine. Very little rain has fallen for several
weeks, and vegetation is suffering, particularly
potatoes. The Bangor Mercury says that the
streams are very low, and many mills have been
hung up on the Penobscot. The up river steam
boats from Oldtown to Mattawamkeug havedis
discontinued their trips. Paper mills are all
dry.
In Prison for Debt. —The Woburn (Mass)
Journal says that there is a poor debtor in the
Cambridge jail who has been there since last
April, from inability to pay a claim of s23,made
against him by a lawyer of Boston. The debtor
has a wife and four children in destitute circum
stances. Had the unfortunate prisoner been a
fugitive slave instead of a white man too poor to
pay a trifling debt, the “philanthropists" of Bos
ton and Cambridge would, very probably, have
incited a reckless mob to attack the jail and mur
der the officers while attempting to uphold the
laws. The ‘lawyer of Boston 7 too, would, it is
likely, have volunteered his services to defend
the mobiles. But the case of the poor debtor ex
cites none of the sympathies of these modern phi
lanthropists.
An ingenious Swedish mechanist, Mr. P. La
gergren, has invented a new motive-power en
gine, intended to supercede steam. The moving
force is the pressure of the atmosphere, which
acts on a vacmn in a copper reservoir, connected
with two cylinders provided with pistons,[as a
common sjeam-engine. The vacum in the reser
voir is produced by the admission of a certain
quantity of alcohol and of atmospheric air, each
time the machine makes a stroke. Explosive
air is hereby produced, is fired at each turn, an 1
instantly burns away; one of the pistons being
at the same time opened, an atmospheric pressure
is obtained equal to fifteen pounds on the square
inch. This machine is light and simple, and its
fuel (alcohol) takes little space. Whether it will
be superior to or cheaper than steam is a question
others must decide.
A Sewing Machine from the United States has
been bought by Louis Napoleon, if is said, for
105,000 francs, to make clothes for the army. An
American, however, it is also stated, has arrived
in Paris, and threatened to sue him for damages,
as he (the American) alleges that it is an in
fringement of his patent, and that the person
who sold it to Napoleon had no authority to do
so. Another of the machines has been purchas
by the Piincess Motilda, from the American
who threatened to sue the Emperor.
Ihe Philadelphia Bulletin has been shown a
letter from a person who went out a short time
ago in the steamer Illinois to Aspinwall, and
took the Golden Gate at Panama, for San Fran
cisco. It says that, after leaving Aspinwall,
their paity, comprising a number of passengers
from the Illinois, encamped one night on the
road, and that night/our of them were murdered.
The next day, on reaching Panama, and going
on board the Golden Gate, they found that out
of the whole number who had left Aspinwall to
take passage on the Golden Gate, forty were mis
ting. No lurther particulars are given, but the
writer speaks of the dangers and troubles c>f cros
sing the Isthmus as very great, and warns his
friends not to think of going to California by
that route.

Cincinnati, Aug. 14.— Dreadful Explosion of
a Powder Mill. —The powder magazine at Mays
ville, Ky , was fired yesterday morning, when
eight hundred kegs of powder exploded, and burn
ed thirteen houses. The explosion took place at
two o’clock on Sunday morning, carrying d< s
truction in every direction. The light pioduced
was most brilliant, and, singular to say, not a life
was lost, and but few persons injured. The citi
zens were so much alarmed that some minutes
elapsed before any one would go into the streets.
The general impression was that the day ot
judgment had come. When the citizens sallied
out they found the sidewalks covered with frag
ments of demolished houses. The property
damaged is estimated at fifty to one hundred
thousand dollars. Only two persons vvereseri
ously injured. One lady died from the effects of
fright. The Mayor offered one thousand dollars
for information that would lead to the eonvictiou
of the rascal .that set tire to the magazine.
Boston, Aug. 14. Funeral of ComniOilore
Downes. —The funeral of the lamented Commo

Church was read by Bishop Eastburn. After
the services, the remains were taken to Mount
Auburn for interment.

port. It is thought he may have met with foul
play or been buried in the ruins.
Cincinnati, August 14 TAe Indiana Free

Severe Storm at Wilmington, N C.—The
Wilmington, N. C., Daily Herald, of Tuesday
says:
"After an excessively sultry morning yester
day, we were visited in the afternoon by the
severest thunder storm within our experience.
For two or more hours the sky was a blaze of
light, and the thunder was of tbe cornpletestdes
cription. Three houses in town, a schooner at
one ot the wharves, and a tree on the opposite
side ot the river were all stricken. The buil
dings struck were, the Washington and Lafayette
Hotel, Mr. Mcllhenny ? s dwe ling on 3d, and Mr.
Doeb’s on Princess-street. But slight damage
was done, and no persons were in jured. The
schooner Alcyona, at the lower partol the town,
had both masts shivered; a portion ot the crew,
under an awning amidships, escaped with trilling
injury; they were all more or less shocked at the
occurrence, but were otherwise not damaged.”
Railroad Accident. —The passenger cars
ran off the track on the Chattanooga railroad, on
the down trip Sunday night, about three miles
irorn the Antioch depot. The accident occurred
from some cows attempting to cioss the track
and being run over. The cars were precipitated
down an embankment of 20 or 30 feet. One
old gentleman had his collar bone broken, but
the rest of the passengers escaped without seri
ous injury. lion. A. O. P. Nicholson, with some
of his children, were among the passengers, tut
we are happy to be able to state that they were
entirely uninjured.— Nashville Union , 15 thimt.
Stage Accident. —On Saturday evening, at
Chalk Hill, about fifty miles from Louisville, on
the Birds town route, the Louisville and Nash
ville Stage turned over, breaking the stage veiy
badly and killing one horse. The passengers
were generally bruised, but none seriously hurt.
—lb.
Religious Revival. — An interesting meet
ing is going on at this time in the Methodist
Episcopal Church in this city, which bids fair to
be productive of the happiest results. On Sab
bath morning the Rev. Mr Biue announced that
"tire set time to favor Zion,” in this city had ar
rived.—that there were unmistakeable evidences
of the workings of the Spirit in our midst, the
indications of which would soon manifest them
selves. At the conclusion of the sermon at
night, he. gave an invitation to those who desir
ed to seek Religion, to approach the altar (or
prayer—whereupon some eight or ten availed
themselves of tfe opportunity. On Monday
night there was an increased interest exhibited,
and some 20 or 25 approached the altar. The
meeting continues nightly and a gracious out
pouring ot the Spirit of Cod upon the people is
confidently looked for by the Church.—AW.
(Ala.) Journal, 16th hist.
Washing Himself Out —The Buffalo 'De
mocrat relates the following:
We saw a German youth perform a feat the
other day with a street- washing hose, which,
we would venture a little, he never will repeat.
He was wetting down the walk, and, for some
purpose,desired to stop the stream fora moment,
but there being no pipe on the hose, he attempt
ed to hold it with his teeth ! He succeeded pret
ty well fora short time, but in an unlucky fit of
absent-mindedness, he released his hold, and
there ensued a scene. He seemed to fill up and
run over in a second ; his face assumed a purple
tinge, his eyes projected, and his hands waved
about insanely. Instead of letting go the tube,
he started to run, and it was only when he had
stretched the hose to its length, that it fell from
his mouth ; even then he did not stop running. ;
It was the most ludicrous result of stupidity we '
ever witnessed.
Death-Bed Confession.— ln the western
part of the city there has, for years past, resided
a singular being, whose only occupation was that
of drawing sand. His worldly effects consisted
ot, as tar as was known, two horses greatly the
worse for wear and age, and his "sand cart,” as a
false-bottomod wagon is called. He made no
acquantances except those which his business
required,«nd with them his taciturnity o a i ne ,j
lor him the cognomen of “Sleepy Jake" and the
‘ hermit.” Day before yesterday he was pros
tratedon a sick-bed with a disease strongly re
sembling cholera, superinduced, it is believed bv
his intemperate habits, for it is known that he
never cooked his meat, but ate it raw. A friend
who lived near did what he could the first day’
during his meal hours : and in the evening no
ticing that he was tailing tast,secretlysoughtand
procured a doctor, who, upon his arrival, found
the poor fellow in a collapsed state.
Medicines were given him, but he continued
to sink during the night, and yesterday, near
noon, he paid the great debt of nature. Before
he died he called his friend to him, and said,
■, I havn’tgot a fiiend in the world but
you, and to you I give all that I have. There is
but one thing that troubles my mind, and that is
that in the iast rive years I have sold Mr. ,
the grocer, thirty loads of sand !” "But,” said his
friend, “why should that trouble you?” “Ab,”
said the dying man, his voice growing laint, “to
think how he has shaved his customers, retailing
that sand at eight cents per pound for sugar—
that’s what be .” The sentence was not
finished. Albany Transcript, -Aug. 11.
A Female Mail Rider. —The Alexandria
Gazette has the following paragraph :
The mail between Alexandria and Dumfries
is now carried regularly and punctually on horse
back, by a young lady, who acts in the place of
bet father, who is sick. She has now been thus
engaged for several weeks, and has never missed
a day, or beeu out ol time—riding twenty five
miles every day. Her industry and courage are
worthy of honorable mention,

Attempted Elopement. Quite an excite
ment was occasioned among a portion of the
usually quiet inhabi ants of Sullivan’s yes
terday afternoon, by the attempted elopement of
a young Irishman with a South Carolina lady
The parent of the young lady noticing her ab
sence, immediately made search, and found her
under the protection of the “ Gay Lothario,”
most anxiously awaiting the arrival of the ferry
boat, in order to be conducted to this city, where
it was the intention of the young couple to join
their hearts and fortunes for life; but the sudden
appearance of the "old gentleman” had the ef
fect ol frustrating their designs, and protracting
their intended nuptials to some future day not
specified.— Char. Standard , 1 6th inst.
The Weather. —From about the first of July,
until within a week past, there has been no day
at which the thermometer has not been up 1o
94 degress in most parts of our city—generally
from that to 93 degrees, several times at 100 to
103. Such a continuance ol hot weather has no
parallel in our history. Wi bin a week past we
have had two or three showers, and the weather
is somewhat cooler, but still above usual summer
heat. Notwithstanding this extreme heat, our
city was never more healthy.— Macon Messen
