The Irish i-ixodus.
A correspondent of the Dublin Daily Jurpress, writing
upon the th instant, savs:—“Whether fin {.odiorfir
evil, emigration From this and the adjoining counties
continues to flow on without any material abatement.
The F bum hft our quays last week, the Falcon yester
day, each shin bound for New York, and carrying near
ly 3*• pas-engert, h rfly young men .a 1 girls of ihe
farming classes. The Jessy and the Primrose leave
this day for Quebec, with upward* of 500 passengers,
mostly Tipperary men, with their families, many of
whom ap|s-ar of the better class of landholder* of front
twenty to forty acres. Despairing of the speedy revi
val of prosperity almost all who posses* the means o' -
leaving the country are about u> do so. The Jane
Black lent os also for Quebec about the 12th. All the
vessels fiTtm this port are well found, and rr.es’ c. nfor
tithle sis to accommodation, Ac. The owners of the ves
sel: are Limerick merchants.”
The Mo Cnd tuCon remarks:— “The v \*sjs at
present lying a” the quays of our seaports have already
had applications tor the full number of their brvtlis.
The class of emigrants at present leaving this county
are, in very many cases, persons whose friends, having
before emigrated, were enabled to send funds to bring
out tlieir remaining relatives. Very many [a rsons of a
superior class are leaving this county for Australia, at
tracted tliitlier bv the vision of a gulden harvest.”
ihe W exford Gtiiidu: n says: —’The exodus here
seems to have assumed a steady, increasing current,
and emigration is the frequent topic of conversation iu
most paits t*f the county. The States appear the favo
rite land, very few speaking of the Canadas or other
1 r ’isli Colonies ”
The Limerick C ro icle of the sth instant, says:—
“From the railway stations from Limerick to Clonmel,
from Limei ick and Galway to Dublin, and elsewhere
throughout the country, the people are living in crowds
to the [nuts of Waterford and Liverpool, to take ship
ping lnr the New World; whilst in Limerick we be
lieve we are coirect in stating, that the ships already
announced for mailing are filled, and other slims are ea
gerly looked for by applicants every day. The rural
districts and the smaller towns are the destination of
remittances to an almost incredible amount from Ame
rica and Australia; and those remittances are sent to
enable those to hear tlieir voyage expenses to whom
they are directed. We have been informed by a res
qvc able clergyman within the last few days, such is
•he scarcity ot men in his extensive parishes’ that he is
obliged to send to a neighboring town for laborers to
till Ins fields. Another clergyman informs us that he
is daily- receiving remittances from persons in America
to pay passages for their relatives in his parish. It is
apprehended in the neighborhood of the stale quarries,
that the enterprising poprietor will be compelled to
curtail the works or to abandon them to some extent,
such is the rage tor emigration among the laborers he
has been employing for some years. Altogether the
exodus is alarming.
Arctic Diet. -The Second Grinnell Expedition,
which is soon to leave our shores, takes with ii an admi
rably systematised diatary—the result, evidently, ot
much careful study:
For long marches, where the labor of carriage re
quires the greatest economy of weight, a condensed
and portable f *>d becomes of paramount importance.—
Uutil very lately the ride was the larder of the fron
tiers man, but v.c are now in the midst of a great ex -
dus. Men, women, and children strike out iu our Wes
tern deserts, and the vast inter-space between our At
lantic and Pacific civilizations, is a mass of moving life.
We think that a valuable practical lesson might be
taught to such em grants, by the preparations of this
littie Arctic party.
\Yc devoted a morning to an inspection of tlieir re
sources. They take out with them, the meat biscuit of
Burden, the desiccated vegetables of Cholet, the impac
ted milk cuke of the Messrs. A butt, and the Pemicuu ot
the Indian voyageurs.
The meat buscuit, has, after careful experiment,
been adopted by Dr. Kane for ins sledge journeys. It
combine.’ the essentials elements of flour and beef, and
six ounces a day have been proved to be sufficient to
sustain life, while in active exercise. Sir Lyon Play
fair, who analysed this article at the World’s* Fair, re
ports in unqualified terms as to its value. The vegeta
bles are dried by rapidly changing atmospheres and
compressed by hydraulic power so as to occupy an in
conceivably small bulk. The milk, which is destined
to do away with passenger cows, was as liar.t as a brick
bat, but with the aid of a little water, was hardly dis
tinguishable from breakfast cream.
But the great stand-by, the sheet anchor of Arctic
voyages, was the Pemican. All our Northern Indian
r.btS, but especially the frees and Cbippewvstis, use
this preparation for their long marches. It consists of
the pounded meats of the moose or buffalo, carefully
dried by tire and sun, and incorporated with fat and
marrow. The word l’emis, which, in the Algonquin,
signifies grease, is pmbahly the origin of ihe term.
The Pemican of the American expedition was pre
pared on a large scale from beef, and in its manufacture
we were much interested.
We were shown into a large kiln of some twenty-five
feet square, heated to a temperature of about 140 deg.
Fahrenheit, and completely filled with beefsteaks. No
less ttaau 4,m00 lbs. of carefully cut rump pieces were
strung upon wooden frames, and undergoing the pro
cess ot drying The steak, when dried to one-fourth
of its original w eight, was ground to the size of pound
ed homuiny, and then mixed with an equal weight of
pure lard.
The whole process was superintended by Mr. Borden
—the inventor of the meat-buscuit, —who had been se
lected by Mr. Grinnell to carry out his instructions.—
We were told thut four thousand pounds of meat and
one of lard would make about two thousand of this
concentrated diet, and that the scale of I)r. Kane’s ra
tions for his sledge journey over the Polar ice, would
be limited to two pounds per man per diem of this novel
compound of beet ami grease.
\\ ell as tins was adapted to its purpose, those of us
“who live at home at ease,” could not help being im
pressed wito the privations of men who dragging their
sledges over a wilderness of ice, have but this homely
mixture to sustain thin energies and prepare them for
the lahot schead. Great credit is due to Dr. Kane for
his skillfulexertions in this matter. —-V Y. Journal of
Ca/,m ret.
Cai.hoc.v’* Works. —The New York Evening Post
publishes the following literary intelligence:
“Mr. C’ralle, the editor of the writings of the late
John C. Calhoun, has been fln town for a few weeks,
superintending the preparations for a second and third
volume ofThat work, which are shortly to appear from
the press of the Appleton*. These volumes will be
occupied exclusively with speeches. We understand
that the correspondeuce which Mr. Calhoun left behind
him was very voluminous, and related to a great variety
of subjects besides politics. It will follow the speeches,
and promises to awaken anew iuterest in the memory
ol that distinguished statesman.
“ Mr. Crulie has also a voluminous collection of
anecdotes and memoranda of conversations with Mr.
Calhoun, made during a close intimacy of some thirty
years, which he will incorporate, as for as may be prac
ticable, in a biography upon which he is engaged, at
the request of his dintinguished friend.
“ Prominent as Calhouu was during the greater part
of the last two generations before the country, and
familiar as his views upon most political questions are
to the American people, it is singular how little is
known of his inner life; of his views upon the various
problems of humanity ; of religion, of art, and of mans
social relations and dependencies. Upon all these sub
jects he is said to have conversed freely with his inti
male triends, and to have displayed far more interest in
such discussions than he seemed to feci in the current
strifes of polittes, by which he is principally known.—
When Mr. Cralle’s biography appears, of which, how
ever, we regret to say there is no prospect for some five
or six years, it will probably reveal aspects of Mr. Cal
houn’s mind with which few of his countrymen were
acquainted.”
New W.vy to make Mirrors.— Tut Prattucill Ad
tocate states that ou a recent visit to lU v. L L. Hill,
ihe alleged inventor of daguerreotypes colored by the
action of light, Mr. Hill showed him anew way of
making mirrors. He -ays; “Mr. Hill took a small glass,
such as Daguerrciaus use for covering their pictures,
and in forty seconds it was transformed into a perfect |
mirror — pe, fat in erery rtpe t. We kept ail eye upon j
it the whole time; the process was fully explained, and I
the result cannot be excelled. In his inode of‘silver
ing glass’ there is not a particle of ihe usual amalgam
of tin foil and quicksilver, but it is composed wholly of
pure and unadulterated silver. The discovery Was
mud - while he was experimenting on glass, with a view
of adopting it to Heho-cbrouty, never dreaming of its
beautiful application to the manufacture of mirrors.
The expense of manufacturing mirrors, by this new du
rable method, will not, we think, exceed half the cost of
manufacturing the kind now used ; besides, thev arc
aliray* jrfic‘. and no art of man can deface them,
without breaking them to pieces. We hazard nothing
! in predicting that it will create an entire revolu ion tti
the art of making mirrors, and that in a few years, at
most, there will not be a mirror, of the kind uow used,
to be found in the country.

Great Earthquake in the Indian Archi
pelago.
The Singapore Free Prest os the 4th February last,
quotes from the Ja a />’ de, the following account of a
terrible commotion of nature, which commenced on
the 16th, or probably the 26th of November, and lasted
until the 22d of November last :
“On the 16th of November, about 20 minutes to 8
o clock, iu the morning, a heavy vertical oscillation of
the ground was felt at iianda Neira, which soon changed
into u rapidly increasing undulation from the N. E. to
theS. E , which lasted for more than five minutes
Every one left his house; to remain standing was im
possible; people were obliged to take hold of some
hing. or throw themselves on the ground. In the
morning a slight shower of rain fell, but otherwise the
| .vea her was not tii,f..vorahle,
“ At the firs - shock, nearly :d! the houses were thrown
dpwn or very much shattered. Tit; Government build
iti- :’i“ church, The officer's houses in the encamp
ment, and ;he warehouses, suffered the greatest injury ;
the Chinese quarter was a heap of rums—the native
village on the Rounegat tva* laid waste. The Papen*
berg tell par Iv in, and two bamboo houses upon it dis
appeared ; and on Gteat-Banda the houses ot the paik
keepers, their out houses, and smoking-houses for the
nutmegs, underwent the same fate; everything there
was also thrown down, or greatly injured; nothing is
visible of the v illage Lonihoir but a heap of ruins
Saru was terribly shattered, while detached pieces of
rock lay everywhere scattered around. There were no
deaths, however, to lament, and only some persons
were slightly bruised or wounded.
“1 ut tlie misfortune did not stop licte. About 8
o’clock n distil! bance of the sea {zc-lxc ity) occurred,
which failed every heart with fear and dismay, and
caused every one to fly to the highest ground. In
quick succession the bay filled and cmpiied, and ut
times appeared to be only a little river.
“The ship Atiat-at-Richman, laden with rice, lying
in the roads, twice touched the ground, after—like Ilis
Majesty's brig I)e liaui, which had anchored the day
previous—h iviug been driven backwards and forwards
a number of times; but this seaquake increased in a
frightful manner, and thrice overwhelmed Great Banda
ana Neira with the largest rollers; on the las: j lace
they reached several feet high in the houses, and burst
the doors open. These huge waves formed in tlie ‘/.on
negat aud m the channel of Lauchoir, a.;d ran so high
hat they beat over l’ort Nassau, and reached the loot
of ihe hill on which Fort llelgica is built, carrying
everything with diem in their reflux, but at tlie same
time leaving behind them a quantity of fishes. The
prahus in the roads were driven among and against
each other, and carried to and from the shore. Thev
foundered, or drove in the Zonnegat, where they struck
ou the shore; only a few could save themselves by
flight These prahus belonged to the Satan and Key
Islands and Ceram, and a part of their crews, finding
i themselves oil shore, sought shelter in one of the sheds
: on the old pier; but they could not withstand the force
i of the rollers, and in a moment they were torn out of
their place of shelter and driven seward, there misera-
I bly to pcri'lt. It is estimated that sixty men lost tlieir
lives iii this way.
“Miserable was the condition of the inhabitants,
who saw the waves twenty feet high, rolling so irre
sistibly toward them; threatening to engulf them, the
ground coniiiniafiy rocking under their feet; the atmo: -
;.!.eie echoing with reports like cannon shots, filling
•heir hearts with fear; and that all destine-ive, indes
cribable sta'e of things lasted not merely lor five
minutes—an hour- u day—but for successive davs; for
these frightful natural phenomena.* only ceased oil the
J2ud ot December, while all that time scarcely an hour
passed that the ground did not heave and shake, now
in the heaviest manner, and then lighter, hut alwavs
so that distrust and tear remained imprinted in the
hearts of the inhabitants, who partly or wholly ruined,
without habitations, sheltering in little bamboo huts,
looked forward to the gloomiest future, aud will per
haps uever be able to recover the blow which they have
received.
During these earth and sea qnakes —which last, how
ever, did not extend beyond the north side of Neira
•tnd to the south side of Great Bandas—Gunottg Api
was quiescent, and no alteration was observed in the
smoke proceeding from it.
“1 he accounts from the islands of Rosseugein and
Api “ ere even more tragical, and the destruction there
not less great The spice parks Kelie and Noorwegen,
on Great Banda, the last which remained standing, also
at length fell in, and at present there are not more than
two habitable houses in Neira. The residency house
has suffered much. Rock and earth slips from the I’a
penberg occurred there for a length of time.
“ The same disastrous accounts had been received
from Ceram. An earth and sea quake hail also occur
red on the 26th of November, and caused great dain
age. The heavy rollers of the sea had swept awa\ th.-
houses on the heath, and thrown more than 100 prahus
on shore, of which u number had been destroyed, while
many persons fell victims to this terrible couiuiotiou of
nature.
From Ambovna we also learn that on the morning
of the 16th o’ November, about half-past 8, the earth
quake was felt in a direction from N K. to W. S. \V.,
with a duration of about five minutes. This was pro
ceeded on the 10th by some slight shocks. The distur
bance oi the sea a.so took place but not to such a de
structive and heavy extent as at Banda, although on
the same day. Very little damage was caused. The
accounts from the islands near Ambovna are not so un
favorable. Nearly all experienced the extraordinary
commotion both of sea and land. The houses at Supar
na and many native boats were seriously injured, aud
very heavy loss has been caused.
“ At Termite as well as Cachiau, two heavy shocks of
earthquake were felt the 2.5 th of November, at eight in
the morning, and at the last place they were repeated
tor some days. The weather was generally calm, and
although the mountain of Tcrimte did not give out
more smoke thau usual, a subterraneon noise was heard
in it, but not very loud.
■‘TUe earthquake which occurred at Batavia and
Buitenzong on the night of the 2nth of December, was
also felt in tlie residences of Krawang, Magelang, Ban-
Banvumas, Tagai and Pekalongan, and in the Lam
pong districts. Cholera had broken out at Padang, aud
a number of persons had died.
The Greatest Discovery of the Age.
**r Planters, Farmers, Families and others can
purchase no remedy, equal to Dr. Tobias’ Venetian Lin
ament for Cholera, Dysentery, Colic, Croup, Chronic
Rheumatism, Quiusev, Sore Throat, Toothache, Head
ache, Bea Sickness, Cuts, Burns, Swellings, Pains in
the Limbs, Back, Chest, Ac.
If it does not give relief, the money will be returned;
all that is asked is a trial, and use it according to the
i directions.
j This article is an English Remedy, and was used by
the late Kingof England, William the Fourth, and cer
tified to by him, as a cure for Rheumatism, when eve
rything else recommended by his Physicians had fail
ed. Over 10,000,000 of Bottles have been sold in the
United States without a single failure, and many fami
lies stated that they would not be without it, it’ it was
?10 per bottle, for in case of Croup, it is as certain as it
was applied. It cures Toothache iu 3 minutes, Head
ache in a half au hour, aud Cholera when first taken,
in a few hours.
It is perfectly innocent to take internally, and has
the recommendation of the most eminent Physicians
in the United States. Price 25 and 5o cts.
J it Dr. Tobias has also put up a Horse Linuincnt
in Pint Bottles, which is warranted cheaper and better
! than any other for the cure of Colic, Galls, Swellings,
i old Sores, Cuts, Bruises, Scratches, Cracked Heel, Ac.
i Pi ice 50 cts.
; Dr. Tobias could fill a dozen Newspapers with certifi-
I cates and letters received relating to the wonderful
cures accomplished by his Linament, but considers
warranting it sufficient, as no person is called on to
pay for it, who does not obtain relief. There has been
o much worthless medicine sold to the public, that
Dr. Tobias wishes his article to rest on its own merits,
and il he gives the value of the money received, then
he asks the patronage of the public,not otherwise.

Committee of Council:
Gentlemen:—At the time of making the purchase
of square No. 79, for the purpose of a Railroad Depot,
together with the right of way through the city com
mon and streets of the citv, I offered verbally to the
then Committee of Council, (who were on the premi
ses at the time,) to build a culvert drain in the hol
low and branch North of the said square, and running
across Fifth and Pine street, so as to dispose of the
water of said branch, and make a drv crossing of both
of said streets : Prodded the privilege of shutting up
Oak street was granted to the Company. No written
agreement was entered into; but the proposition was
at the time verbally assented to by the members of the
Committee present. As the subject of Oglethorpe-st
is before you, I would respectfully renew the proposi
tion then made. lam still willing to build the culverts,
or to pay in cash the amount which the culverts would
cost instead of building it
The street is now, by agreement with the city, occu
pied with our tracks, and for which we have [mid a
consideration. 1 respectfully suggest that not the least
injury or inconvenience to the city could possibly result
to the city by closing it up.

PRESENTMENTS OF THE GRAND JURY OF JONES

Jones Slpekiok Cocht, April Term, ISSS.
W 7 E, t *' e Grand Jurors chosen for the present term,
T V in closing our iaboi 8, beg leave to make the fol
lowing presentments:
We have examined, through appropriate Committees,
the books oi the Clerks ot the .Superior and Inferior
Courts, and find them neatly and correctly kept; papers
properly filed, and the books brought up ; tellecting
pr ose upon those officers.
We have also examined the books of the County
Treasurer, and find them neatly and correctly kept,
with an unexpended balance in the Treasury of six
dollars seventy and a halt cents.
Our County Jail has also been examined, through a
Corntri t:ee for that purpose, who report it in good cou
dition.
We have examined the Courthouse, and find a few
repairs necessary, to which we would call the attention
of the Judges of the Inferior Court.
We would present that the roads generally, in the
county, are in a wretched condition, owing in part, as
we believe, from the unusual fall of t ain which has ren
dered it is impossible to work them beneficially, from
the huge accumulation of tnud and water. YY e lear,
however, that there has been a sad delinquency upon
the part of those charged with that service, and most
earnestly urge the Inferior Court to use all diligence to
have the roads and bridges in the county placed in
good condition.
And in relation to the Poor School fund, we recom
mend that there should be a tax of twenty per cent,
levied by the Ordinary, for the education of the poor
children in this county.
We allow Thomas E. Burden, the Tax Collector, the
amount of bis insolvent list ot 1852, which is sixteen
dollars and forty cents.
We would call attention, as a body, to the fact that
several slaves and free negroes are permitted by their
owners and guardians, to live in the town of Clinton
upon lot-- where no white person resides. Such a prac
tice is contrary to sound policy—productive of mis
chief, and throws many obstacles in the way ot the
successful management of our black population.
On taking leave of his Honor Judge Johnson, we
believe it is due to that officer to say, on our patt, that
we place a high estimate upon his administration of
! the laws of the country, both in regard to his ability,
disinterestedne sand moral courage. We wish him a
long life, health and happiness.
YY e also tender our thanks to the Solicitor General,
for his faithful attention and courtesy tot this bodv.

Sir—At the age of IS my wife (who is now 01)
caught a violent cold, which settled m her legs, and
ever since that time they have been more or less sore,
and grea ly intlumcd. Her agonies were distracting,
and tin’ months together she was deprived entirely of
rest and sleep Every remedy that medic al men ad
vised was tried, but without effect; her health suffered
severely, and the state of her legs was terrible. I had
often read your Advertisements, and advised her to try
your Pills Haul Ointment; and, as a last resource, after
every other remedy had proved useless, she consented
to do so. She commenced si\ weeks ago, and, strange
to relate, is jow in good he alth. Her legs are painless,
without seam or seal', and her sleep sound and undis
torbed. Could you have witnessed the sufferings of
my wife during the last 43 years, and contrast them
with her present enjoyment ot health, you would
indeed feel delighted ‘in having been the means
of so greatly alleviating the sufferings of a fellow crea
ture. (Signed 1 WILLIAM GALFIEN.
