Th* Mail Service-We publish this morn
important letter from the Postmaster
General, to the Hon. James L Orr.of this S?a‘e,
Rg whom it was furnished to the South Caroli
iSP®® or publication. It presents the views of
Department on the question at issue with the
H South Carolina Railroad. The South Carolinian
•tates that a reply will be made in a few days, cn
behalf of the Railroad, presenting their' view of
•he question. It will be observed that it is not
a mere difficulty about compensation, though
that is at the root ts the matter. The Board of
Directors have notified the Department that
unless terms, which they deem reasonable and
just, are assented to, they will on the Ist of Oc
tober, ihrow up their contract for the transpor
ts* tation of the mails altogether. To the public-.
therefore, the question is ol very different interest
from that of a mere difficulty about a few thou
sands, more or less, in the cost of mail carriage—
I - .itis a question whether they shall have any
mails at all. And the public must at last decide
the matter, if the parties cannot agree. The let-
Ek t® r of the Postmaster General, and the promised
reply of the Board, will furnish the materials for
||L the public judgment, and they should be candidly
| and carefully studied.— Char. Mercury. 20th inst.

The Mails.
f Having stated that it was owing to the obsti
nacyof the Post Office Department that the
lajgSouth Carolina Railroad Company declined to
«; r a setni-daily mail, it is due to the Post
er General to publish the following letter.
:h has been sent us by the gentleman to
m it was addressed:
ost Office Department, July 28, 1834.
r: I have the honor to acknowledge the re
iof your letter of the 24th inst, with one
Gen. Harllee, dated 21st uit, and to enclose
with the report of Mr. Fleming, Superin
ent of the Wilmington and Manchester
road, which was submitted to me by Gen.
lee,and which he now desires to have re-
L In answer to your inquiry what action has
been taken by this department on the memorial
addressed to me by the booth Carolina delega
tion and other Southern gentlemen in Congress;
on the subject of a st-mi-daily mail on the W'll
mingion and Manchester and South Carolina
Railfeads, 1 have to state that the subject has
received my most earnest consideration, but that
i havebeeu entirely unable to effect the desired
improviment, owing to the unyielding demand
<?t said Railroad Companies lor a higher rate ot
compensation than can be allowed consistently
with tin seiMed Imeot policy which the interts's
of tbiidepartment compel me to pursue in siicn
__ i I bey demand $3(Ju per mne, in order to
pface them upon an equality with some other
roads north of Wiimtogton. My tiim con
wction is tnat such |>ay is entirely too high ioi
■fdouble daily maiUervice on ai*.y railroad. No
f contract or arrangement has been or will be
made by meat that rate, and I am determined,
if the question shall come before me, not to renew
the existing ones to which reference is had.
It is a remarkable lac that no railroads in the
m country, other than those from Ne w York to
Wilmington, and Baltimore to Cumberland,
- Maryland, receive S3OO per mile, although there
are many rendering equally important services,
and that there are some roads which actually re
ceive less pay for two or more daily mail 9 than
is allowed tor single daily lines between Wii
“ ming’on, Augusta and Charleston.
For instance, on the Hudson River Railroad
very large mails are conveyed nineteen trips
weekly each way between *few York and
Albany, at 35225 per mile; while but S2OO per
tribe is paid lor similar service on the connecting
routes from Albany to Buffalo and also the same
Mbr rate on the great route from New York to Duu-
Bk kirk. On »he routes from Philadelphia to Pitts-
Jp burg and Baltimore to Hairisburg, the pay is
likewise but S2OU per mile lor double daily mails.
KOu the great routes between New Yoik,
and Boston, nineteen weekly tups
are made each way at $250 per mile. Neither
is this iow r rate ol pay lor first class service
coiuined te No'thern routes, as erioneousiy ns
ikme.: in the arguments presented to this de
paetment; on the contrary twite uaiiy service is
periormed by contiact on the Geoigia Railroad,
between Augusta and Atlanta, at $237 50-100
per mile, being the same rate allowed lor one
daily tine between Wilmington and Augusta.
This very important tact has been overlooked oy
the Wilmington and Manchester and South
Railroad Companies, while claiming to
lie put upon am equality with connecting routes.
m For such reaso s, 1 cannot > icld to the demands
of these latter companies. Being, however
fgjfleeplv anxious that the Southern cities should
participate in the advantages of twice daily mail
service, I determined, after mature redaction, to
offer $250 per mile lor the distance, from Wii*
iVmingtou by Kingsville to Augusta, making the
l pay e 4 ual that on the majority ot routes on
■, which similar service is rendered in other sec
| Hons fbe country. Letters were addressed
accordingly, on the 29th nit., to the respective
Presidents ot the Railroads in question setting
forth particularly the grounds of my decision,
# I but my offers have been rejected, ami $390 per
mile is again demanded, notwithstanding my
positive decision against making such allowance
■ in any case whatever. The reasons for such de
cision, as herein given, apply tqua ||y to the
Wilaungton and .vlauchesttri and South Carolina
Railroads, iueie are still further reasons ap- j
phcable alone to the latter roads, to which I in
v'te your attention. Since tne Ist Febiuary
last (the time of changing the great mail routes;
only. a local mail has been conveyed between
Charleston and Branchviile, South Carolina, 1
which entitled the Railroad Company to SIOO
per mile per annum at most for that distance, be- 1
ing the rate for similar service on the Macon and !
Western, Muscogee and Western and Atlantic
He. Railroads, the latter, indeed, conveying a laree
through mail. In other sections, the pay is stTll
lower, and on tne Georgia Central road two daily
mails are conveyed at $175 per mi; e . No re
duction however, has been made on the South
Carolina mad and the full pay of $237 50-100
per mile per annum for first class service is con
tinued on the route be.ween Charleston and
Branchviile, being $62.50 per mile tnore for one
~®dy mail than is allowed fur double service on
KJ tbe Georgia Central road and $137.50 per mile
more than is allowed for a much laiger mail on
Mi *; r e Western and Atlantic road. Under such
£“*«•• u th , ou Sbt|it but reasonable that
P 4n R should recede somewhat from its
demands. Being disappointed, however. I ;>re
so ft. tod to Mr. Caldwell th» u • i . * .
17th ia,t. the f„S£ ILKS ,be
that the contract entered into bv him. 7 eratlon >
actuany ,„„„d„,or ttwS
Charleston and Augusta at the «..« ,V
pay, $237 50.103 per mile, tba? S I
was performed up the Ist of February last a , J !
that its discontinuance has not been sanctioned
by this department. Ihe supposition is that
this change ot service was made under the mis
taken impression that it lollowed, as a matter o r
course, alter the withdrawal ot the s eamboa*s
between Charleston and Wilmington. What
ever may have been the reasons, accordin ' to
tbe letter of the coutract the reduction ol ser
vice involved a corresponding reduction of pay
aud it is not perceived how the Railroad Com
pany can reasons I 'y persist in its demands, alter
thus dispensing Wxth the daily express trains,
(>o called,) which were formerly maintained at
a cost probably quiti equalling, if not exceeding,
that of tbe additional trains now proposed be
tween Kingsville and Augusta.
These considerations appear to have been en
tirely overlooked by the Railroad Company
heretofore. Having now specially brought tru.m
to view, I trust they may yet exert a pi opt r in
fluence, by leading to the acceptance ol what,
under the circn.nstances, should be regarded as a
most liberal offer.
As regards tue calculations of the additional
eo#t of on extra mail on tbe Wilmington and
Manchester Railroad, I may say that no such
criterion can govern this depaitment infixing
tne compensation for mail service. Instead oi
having such calculations made, it would be well
for the comj anies interested to take into consid
eration the very high rate now paid by the gov
ernment for the single daily lines. It is impos
sible for me to regard the local considerations
presented in (avor of higher pay than I have of
fered on that road. The sum of $237 50-100
per mile I consider more than adequate for a
single daily mail, and it is more than is paid for
double service on many roads besides those here
in specified.
I have the honor to be, &c., &c.,

Unparalled Outrage at Jacksonville.—The
U. S. Mail Steamer Welaka Fired into.
Our readers are referred to the letter published
below, and we call upon the press of Jacksonville
for an explanation of the conduct of the people
of their town. In what particular can they feel
themselves justified in the discrimination they
make between the rights of the Charleston
steamers and those of the Mail steamer from
Savannah? Their reckless attack upon life and
property, neither entering nor leaving their city,
as manifested in this instance, is, to use the mild
est term, high-handed and unwarrantable in the
extreme. The Welaka has mail service to per
form higher up the St. Johns than Jacksonville,
and the authorities of that town have no more'
right to impede her progress on that river than
they have to block up the Mississippi. In firing
into the steamer from their wharves, they are
no more justified than they would be had they
committed the act upon the high seas. We
would advise no act of violence in retaliation
lor a day of coolness and retribution will come
when justice vill no doubt be meted out, and
the offenders brought to that punishment they
deserve.
Sr. John’s River, E F., Sept, 18th, 1854.
Editors Savannah Republican:
Gentlemen Yesterday the Welaka, Captain
King, arrived in this river, and in passing Jack-
was fired into by a parcel ot tag-rag
and bobtail, who have congregated lor sometime
past with a full determination to sink and des
troy both the Captain and his vessel, with any
passengers that might be aboard. We, of Geor
gia, aie a peace abiding people, but this transac
tion makes my blood course warmer than usual,
and if Jacksonville is not the scene of blood and
carnage soon J am neither a prophet nor the son
oi a prophet, There are many friends of Geor
gia here. Messis. Bisbee & Canova have acted
nobly for her.
Among her enemies, are some Carolinians, in
the awkward squad. Some seven cannon were
fired, to sink her last night, but, thank God, the
little vessel, her gallant captain and crew, pass
ed up the river unharmed. To-night the attempt
will be renewed, but with what success depends
upon whether they will be clear to aim or not.
Is there no help for the U. S. mail steamer?—
One little cutter is sufficient to drive the force
from its lurking place, and render protection to
our harmless steamer. If we had not the love
of our country and its laws before us and in our
hearts, we could soon raise volunteers to put this
thing dow n. but it appears the counciltnen are
actiug with this party. 1 shall send you a roll
of their names—some few there are who are to
be pitied for being found in such company, and
with shame, be it said, there are some feilows
among them who claim Georgia as their native
State. Oh tor agood cowhide to whip such ras
cals naked through the world. The steamers
from Geo gia are no favorites here—the Carolina
boats are the pets, because they fire the town oc
casionally, and then Charleston is so liberal in
her donations to help them. Yellow lever or
not —they can cnne, and passengers, freight, or
anything, notwithstanding the tact has been
known that the yellow lever was in Charleston
since last May. The Florida passed up fast
Thursday, no quarantine for her.
1 sent up, on the 11th Sept., a communication
to Columbus Drew. Esq., of the Republican, ask
ing its insertion; on the same day he wrote a
note to me, or at least it bore the same date, as
follows:
Jacksonville. Sept. 11, 1854.
MajorS. — My Dtar Sir: You are aware I
would most cheerfully publisn anything from
your pen, but I drop you ale w lines to suggest
that you do not publish the communication you
s nt in regard to Capt. King. The feeling on
that subjec l- is last dying out. lam aware that
there are are differences oi opinion on both sides,
but 1 think there will not be a Savannah boat
here again until the fever subsides, w hen I am
in hopes there will be kindly explanations, and
the paities will settle down better satisfied.—
Yours, very truly, Columbus Drew.
To this note i replied as follows:
September 13 1854.
Columbus Drew, Esq.— Dear Sir: Your note
ol the 11 in tost. has jusg been received, “ that
there will not be a Savannah boat here again
uiuai the fever subsides,” will not be a sufficient
cause lor withholding my publication. Captain
King will be here again on Sunday next, I arn
sure. It however, you do not wish that justice
should have her sway, and that Captain King
should b« p'ersecuted without any hearing, you
can return it, but 1 insist as a public journalist,
that you give it place m your next issue. Res
pecuuily yours, S. S. Shad.
In his issue o the 14th he censures Captain
King’s conduct in toto, calls him obstinate and
sell-willed, under an editorial headed “The Mails,
Treatment to our Community,” you will find
Captain King and his liiends are not allowed
the liberty ol the press in Jacksonville, so please
publish this for your oid subscriber. S.
Experimental Farm and Agricultural
College. —lt is stated that the plan devised un
der the auspices of the Maryland State Agricul
tural Society, for the purchase and outfit of an
experimental farm, and for the erection there
on of an Agricultural College, proposes to make
it a joint stock in which all the cit
izens of the State can participate if they feel
so disposed—eich share ol stock, when full
paid, to amount to $25, to be applied to the
above-named purposes. The holder or combin
ed holders of forty shares of stock will be entitled
to be represented always by a pupil free of all
charges for instiaction, &c. The subscriptiotf
of sto k is not to be binding upon subscribers
unless fourthousand shares shall be bona fide sub
scribed. The exclusive control ot the property,
and the government of the college, are to be vest
ed in officers to be chosen by the stockholder.
— Bait. Sun.
Aboutsa month since our readers were in
formed that an effort was being made to estab
lish and endow an institution in tbis District
similar iu its character to the one contemplated
in Maryland,and which isuoticed above. A gen
tleman of enlarged agricultural experience, and
who has a passion for his profession, has set the
ball in motion; and we are pleased to learn that se
veral of our wealthy and enterprisingcitizens have
already subscribed liberally in aid of the enter
prise. It is proposed that, at first, it shall be a coun
ty undertaking—tnat is to say, that the people of
Washington county shall project a model facm’
which may hereafter be the nucleus for a nation
al institution for industrial education, the appli
cation ot the sciences to agriculture, the mechan
ic and useful arts. It will be commenced (should
the measure succeed, as we hope it may) upon a
limited scale, but would be gradually enlarged;
and the model farin’ and “agricultural and
mechanical school” of the District of Columbi#
would affoid facilities to youths, enabling them
to reach attainments in agricultural science and
skill in the industrial arts. We hope that the
sanguine expectations of the projector of the un
dertaking may he fully realized.

A Worthy Example.
Mr. James L. Coleman proposes to furnish
meal to the citizens of Augusta, during the pre
valence of the epidemic in our city, at cost prices,
for cash, upon application to him personally or
his address, Box 59, Post Office.
Mr. Coleman has shown great liberality in ma
king this ofiler, as he might, had he been so dispos
ed, have made large profits from the sale of his
meal. Those who know him however, will not
be surprised at this characteristic act of beveno
lence. He is one among our citizens, not fearing
danger, who comes forth like a man, where dis
tress reigns, and is willing to give his labor for
the relief of others.
Death of Right Rev. Bishop Gartland.
“ And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying tin
tome, Write! Blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord from henceforth: Yea! saith the spirit,
that they may rest from their labors: and their
works do follow them.”
The Savannah Republican says: The Right
Rev. Francis Xav,er Gartland, Roman Catholic
Bishop of the Diocess of Georgia, died at the res
idence of M. Prendergast, in this city, yesterday
morning at hail-past 11 o’clock, of yellow fever.
His assistant Priests, in visiting the sick, were
gradually withdrawn by their successive illness
until he was almost left alone to minister to his
flock. Firm at the post of duty, he pursued his
good work until he too was stricken down. His
patience in sickness, and the calm submission to
the will ot his Heavenly Master, were in keep
ing with his well spent life. In the death of
this truly good man, our community has sustain
ed a heavy loss, and his flock been visited by an
irreparable calamity in this their season ol afll;c
tiou.
Bishop Gartland was born in Dublin, and his
parents came with him to this country while he
was ye- an infant. He was educated at Mount
St. Marys College; .entered the priesthood at
Philadelphia; was consecrated Bishop of the
Diocess ot Georgia in 1850 ; arrived in this city
iri November of that year, and entered upon bis
duties with truly Christian zeal, winch he con
tinued up to the time of his last illness.
His relatives, now living in Philadelphia, have
the sympathies of the bruised hearts of this dis
tressed community, who point them to the prom
ise of Him who “ maketh ail things work to
gether for good to those who love Him.’’
In Ohio the pine swamps west of Hudson
have been burning for weeks. The meadows to
the extent of several hundred acres have been
burnt out to the depth of four feet, and will
when the swamp fills with water, become* a
lake. Ibe fire would eat under whole acres
when undermined, and, w hen finding vent would
burst out furiously, consuming everything wifh
in reach. President Pierce, ot Hudson College
went to the swamp to view the scene, when he
saw several large trees, apparently on solid
ground, commenced tumbling around him, and
he narrowly escaped with life. The inhabitants
in the vicinity are in a state of utmost conster
nation.
Memphis navy-tard. —At the last session of
Congress this naval station was tendered as a
freegiftto the corporation of Memphis. The
people ot the town, however, have had a public
meeting, and resolved not to decide upon Ibe ac
ceptance of the gift until the people of the valley
of the Mississippi have had time to consider the
subject. They have also requested the Secretary
of the Navy to arrest any sale of public property
at the navy-yard until the meeting of Congress;
the object of these movements being, of course
to make a strong effort at the approaching session
for the repeal of the section giving away the
yaid.
Charlestown Navy Yard.— Com. Smith, the
naval bureau, inspector of yards and docks, visited
! the navy-yard at Charlestown on Wednesday
afternoon. On entering the yard, at half past 2
o’clock, he was honored with a salute. He was
received by Commodore Gregory and other offi
cers, and by them accompanied over the yard,
park and dock, The inspection was very thor
ough in every respect. Commodore Smith will
proceed to Portsmouth at once, for the purpose
of inspecting the yard at that place. The-Charles
town Advertiser states that the work upon the
new liigate is progressing steadily, thirty frames
being already set up. The sloops Saratoga and
Cyane have been hauled in, and are now under
the process of stripping. The first of these two
vessels is in the most shabby condition of any
vessel that we recollect to have arrived at this
port.
To the list ol whigs rebuked in Maine must
be added the name of Noah Smith, jr., the can- I
didate for Congress in the sixth district. His ‘
ark was not ready, and be is submerged in the :
waters that have drowned out Reed and Farleyi j
and all the other regular whig candidates. What;
a “signal -ebuff” whiggery has met with in I
Maine ! What an “overwhelming crushing ver- !
diet of condemnation” has been brought in ;
against it 1 What a “complete annihilation” of !
a party that has had tbe governor for two years \
last past 1 On the popular vote it is beaten by j
tens of thousands, and is even beaten as bad on j
the congressional vote, not having chosen a sin- !
gle whig member of Congress as such. Poor* •

Ha letter received at St. Louis from Santa Fa
announces that Mr. F. X. Aubrey, the noted!
western trader and interpid traveller, was stab
bed in a row with Major Weightman, in that
place about the 20th of August, and died imme
diately, Aubrey had just made a trip from San
Francisco to Santa Fe, for a wager, in twa/iey
two days. Major Weightman was two -years
ago, the delegate in Congress from New Mexi
co, and was an officer in the army during the
Mexican War.
Death op an Old Printer.— John Waitt !
(say? the Savannah Republican) an old and re
sected Printer, died in this city yesterday, ot
juandice, making the seventh member of the
craft, who Dowed their heads in death during the
present sickly season among us. Mr. Waitt was
06 years of age, and was born in England, where
he learned hh trade. Some years since heemi
gra'ed to this country, and latterly resided in Sa
vannah, continuing, up to the time ot his death,
his vocation as Compositor in our morning paper
offices. He was at the close of the publication
ot the Sun in this city some years since, a co
partner in the concern. Industrious in habits
and cheerful in deportment, he won many friends
I among his acquaintances. Peace to his ashes.
Tournament at Jordan’s Springs. —The
Charlestown (Va.) Free Press says that at the
tournament at Jordan’s Springs on Tuesday last
there was a large and brilliant company, and
everything passed off in fine style. About one
dozen knights entered for the hqjior of crown
ing some of the fair damsels present. •
The knights having been paraded in front of
the large hotel by Martin Maddux, Esq., of Al
exandria, marshal, they were charged by Wash
ington G. Singleton Esq., of Winchester, who
acted as president, when they started for the
tilt—Messrs. James H. Duvall, of Maryland, E.
C. Jolliffe and Byrd Washington, of Fredrick,
Va., acting as judges ; and John W. Shultz and
Thomas D. Moore, heralds. The ring was ta
ken three times in succession by the Unknown
Knight, A. Hunter Spangler, of Warren county,
and by Highlander Knight, Washington Dear
mont, of Clarke county. A tie occurring, a
fourth round took place, when the Unknown
Knight came off victorious, and of course achiev
ed the honor of crowning the Queen of Love
and Beauty. He choose for queen Miss McMo
bine, of North Carolina. The pleasure of crow
ning the first maid of honor devolved on High
lander, Washington Dearmont, who selected
Miss Elizabeth Ridenour, of Jefferson.
Samaritan Knight, Benjamin Snyder, of
Clarke county, crowned Miss Janney, of Clarke
as second maid of honor; and the Knight of the
Vallty, William D. Gilkerson jr., of Fredrick
county, chose Miss Kate Hurst, of Jefforson,
third maid of honor. The queen and the maids of
horn r were appropriately addressed, whilst the
wreathing was going on, by the president. The
riding was very creditable to the knights, who
conducted themselves with great propriety. At
night the ball passed off pleasantly, all enjoying
themselves heartily. A great array of beauty
was present.
Gold in \ ermont. —The Woodstock Age say*
that there is gold ip Vermont; and says that lor
the last three or four weeks irom thiity to fnty
workmen, under the direction of Captain Ira F-
Payson, of New York, have been engaged in dig
ging into and examining the premises of Bridge
water, where gold has been discovered, and that
the result thus far has been satisfactory.
The second Jewish synagogue in Boston—a
neat building— erected by the German Jews
who have now seceded from the other syna
gouge, which was controlled by the Polish Jews,
was consecrated on Friday afternoon with the
religious ceremonies oi that nation. They num
ber sixty members, among whom are some per
sons of considerable wealth. The sermon was
by Rev. Dr. Lieathal, of N. York.
Ihe church was densely crowded to witness
the interesting ceremonies—the mayor and oth
er prominent citizens being present.
Illness of Dr. ' Wainwright. —The numer
ous friends oi the Ri. Rev. Dr. Wain wright, Pro
visional Bishop ol the Protestant Epispocal
Church in the diocese ot New York, have been
pained to learn that i.e is lying very low with
an attack of typhus fever.
The New Yoik Commercial Advertiser, of
Saturday,says:
" For the last lew days, much fear has been
entertained as tothe lesUlt.bl.lt we are happy to
be able to say rbat 1!!h report this moruing was
much more favorable. T.;e Bishop passed a
trai quil night, and the lever has somewhat
abated.
“ This distinguished prelate is so much belov
ed-by ali who know him, both within and with
out his own flock, that his deatn would be most
deeply ar.d widely lamented. It would also be
a great affliction to the Epispocal Church, as it
would renew the agitation which was happily
quieted by the election ot Dr. Wainwright to
the Provisional Episcopate. This is a matter
in which we have no desire to interfere, but on
the grounds of personal respect and regard for
the Provisional Bishop, we may be permitted to
say that we hope he will long be spared to fill
his useful and important position.”
Arkansas Election.— The democrats have
carried Arkansas by an overwhelming majority.
Messrs. Rusk and Greenwood (democrats) are
elected to Congress, and the Legislature stands
on joint ballot—democrats 75, whigs 25.
The Jewish Chronicle gives us a beautiful in
sight* inVo the “voluntary” character of the
Austrian loan. The Vienna correspondent of
the Ostsee-Zeitung contains the following docu
ment :
“Sir: I have noticed with extreme displea
sure that the Jews of Pesth have not yet given
energetic proof of that patriotic feeling for
which I have given them credit. Whereas, in

I We wish our political principles and party had
■ prevailed in the recent contests; but we had rath
| er go down temporarily with them than go up by
| any sarifice of them. The democratic party has
! failed to elect its but it has preserved
its identity, its principles, and its sell-respect
Our confidence in the democratic cause was never
greater than it is now. It will emerge soon
from its temporary obscuration in this State with
more than its old- brilliancy and strength, and
will eclipse its ancient glories in the Union by
new and brighter victories which it is destined
to gain in the future. The men who stood by if
on Monday will yet count that day as one of the
proudest of their lives; and when the ill-assort
ed congregation which has now succeeded shall
have crumbled to pieces, and the honest voters
who have been led into it shall have left it in
disgust, the democratic party will remain erect,
and powerful, and beneficial, as it has been lor
so lo»ig a period ot time since it was originally
orgaspeed,*— Eattsm

Interments for the Week,
We regret to notice, in the report this week,
so small a falling off in the number of interments
and the fact ot «n increase in the number of
deaths from yellow fever, over those ot last week.
We trust, however, that the worst has passed,
and that we may soon be able to repoit more fa
vorably of our condition. We have not much to
encourage such a hope, ? tis true; but with so re
duced a population as ours is, and with the ener
getic efforts of the benevolent in ministering to
the wants of the destitute, there cannot much be
lett now for the pestilence to feed upon. The
total interments lor the week are 189, ol which
131 were of yellow fever; last week the inter
ments were 210, ol which 129 were of yellow
lever showing a decrease ol 21 interments, and
an increase of two deaths from the fever. For
the past five weeks there were 6£l burials, of
which 436 of yellow lever.

have found somewhere—but where’ we “don’t

nothings ol the Ward, and the leading members
of the " know-nothing” association have been
thrown into great consternation by the dsscove
ry that the list has fallen into the hands of some
of the friends ot the constitution of the United
States, and especially of religious toleration, who
have published it. This list will no doubt be
carefully scanned by the public. We respectful
ly suggest that it would be well, on the part of
the friends of religious freedom, to present each
member of the “ know-nothing” fraternity with
a copy of the constitution of their country, the

of the letters ol the immortal sage of Monticel

DIED
At his residence in Burke county, on the 11th
inst., Mr. B. L Perkins, aged 48 years, after lin
gering with the typhoid fever for some time
110 loft a wifo, children, and many devoted
friends to deplore their loss, lie was a kind hus
band, indulgent father, and a good citizen. Alas,
death has claimed a noble victim. Surely, if aught
could have softened that rentless heart, his many
virtues, his steady adherence to the cause of duty
and humanity, his untiling devotion to the wants
of the poor and needy, should have caused him
immunity from his untimely fate. In the duties of
his profession, arduous as they were, he never
paused even for a moment, when the cry of the
sufferer reached his pitying ear. Ah ! why could
ho not have been spared to us, whoso kind and
loving disposition endeared him to every heart,
while his talents, which were ol a rare and high
order, promised fair, in a few years, to rank him
as one of the beads of our citizens. While we deep
ly deplore wo bow in resignation to the Divine will.
0, Lord, thy will bo done.
In Covington, Ga., Sept. 16, Wm. M, Davis,
agod 26 years.
The shades of death were falling slow,
Within a chamber, where
A meek ono lay, and, sinking, gazed
Into a world more fair.
“ Father!” he breathed,- “ Thy will be doner’ !
And closed his eyes in death;
“ Father! : ’ re-echoed through the sky,
“ Thy will bo done on earth !”'

“Full many an hour has passed, and he,
The best boloved of all,
Sleeps from his cares and sorrows free,
Beside tho old Church wall.
• The bee. at noontide, murmurs there,
The Cedar boughs among;
And in the evening’s silent air,
How sweet the red-breast’s song.”

A . Warning.—Deiay not; harbor
not in your mind that sentence of foci’s
philosophy, that a disease wiil get well of itself,or
that you can euro it with certain medicines for a
few dollars. Beware how you tamper with your
general welfare.
Ye wild and'vicious youths, why will ye persist
in dosing with the filthy, nauseating compounds
daily proffered, thereby impairing your appetite
and digestion, and destroying you mentally as well
as physically, when you can be cured with a few
doses of pleasant medicines?
Ye rakes of every age and condition, why will
ye suffer and repine and drag out a miserable ex
istence, unfitted for the enjoyment and even ordi
nary pursuits of life? You who are thus annoyed,
and wish to be restored to health and vigor by a
treatment at once pleasant and effectual, should
consult Dr. Morris. His success in chronic dis
eases has been greater than that of any other phy
sician of his day. Many who havo been for years
afflicted with-disease or consequences resulting
from excess have beea restored to health and vigor
under his really scientific treatment.
Should a personal interview be objectionable,
state your disease in writing—enclose five dollars
—address Dr. W. H. Morris, through the Posts
Office, Nashville, Tonn., and a package of Medi
cinos, securely put up, will be sent privately, and
with dispatch, full directions therewith, and no
questions asked.
Persons living at a distance, and afflicted with
Scrofula, Old Ulcers, Tetter Cancers, Piles, Fistula
In Ano, Gravel, Strictures, Gleets, or any disease
iwhatever of an aggravated or malignant character,
can be cured at home by consulting Dr. Morris,
by letter, post paid, enclosing a fee. Theso Medi
cines, pleasant and safe, can be sent per mail to any
part of the United States.
Particular attention given to the treatment of
femalo complaints. Ladies who may be afflicted
with irregularities, Flour Albus or Whites, Pro
lapsus Uteri or Falling of the Womb, would do
well to lay aside all false delicacy, and promptly
consult the Doctor. Cures Warranted.

Liver Pills—The Liver Pills o
Dr. M’Lane were first usod by him ex
clusively in his own practice. So efficacious were
they in all cases of Liver complaint, that they be
came famous, an 1 attracting ,tho attention of the
medical faculty, passed into general use. They act
with great certainty and regularity; the patient
almost immediately feels the dispersion, of his dis
ease, and is gradually restored to health. With
somo tho effect is almost miraculous, frequently ex
periencing immediate relief, after having for months
resorted to drugs and medicines ofanothor descrip
tion, in vain. Diseases of the Liver arc very com
mon in this country, and are often frightful in
character. Those who experience any of tho pro

M’ an«*s Pills, and perhaps, thereby, be saved a
world of misery.
