Ancient Babylon.
It will not be forgotten that the French Government
two or tboee years ago, sent three gentlemen to make
scientific an<i artistic researches in \Lvtlu \f„ . “ .
,„J Bjbv,™ 0., e of .h “ST,
returned -o Pans, and it appears from Lis report shat
he and his colleagues thought it advisable to begin bv
themselves to the exploit,on of ancient
Bvij\ ion. rhis task was of immense difficulty, and it
” is enhanced by the excessive heat of the sun, by pri
va*io: sos all kiuds, and by theHncessant hostility of
lie Arabs. After awhile M. Oppert’s two colleagues
tell ill, so that all the labors of the expedition devolved
on him. He first of all made excavations of the ruius
of the famous suspended gardens of Babylon, which
are uow known by the name of the Hall of Antran-ibn-
Ali ; uad he obtained in them a number us curious ar
'hitectural and other objects, which are destined to be
placed in the Louvre at Paris. He next, in obedience
to the special orders of the Government, took measures
tor ascertaining the precise extent of Babylon, a mat
ter which the reader is aware has always been open to
controversy. He has succeeded in making a series of
minute surveys, and in drawing up detailed plans of
the immense city. His opinion is that even the largest
calculations as to its vast extent are not exaggerated ;
and he puts down that extent at the astounding figure
of live hundred square kilometres, French measures,
(the square kilometre is 1,195 square yards.) This is
very nearly eighteen times the size of Paris. But of
course he does not say that this enormous area was oc
cupied, or anything like it; it comprised within the
walls huge tracts of cultivated lands and gardens for
supplying the population with food in the event of a
siege. M. Oppert has discovered the Babylonian and
Assyrian measures, and by means of them has ascer
tained exactly what part of the city was inhabited and
what part was in the fields and gardens. On the limits
of the town, properly so called, stands a. present the
flourishing town of Hillah. This town, situated on the
banks of the Euphrates, is built with bricks from the
ruins, and many of the household utensils and personal
ornaments of its inhabitants arc taken from them also.
Beyond this town is the vast fortress strengthened by
Nebuchadnezzar, and in the midst of it is the royal pa
lace, itself almost as large as a town. M. Oppert savs
that he was also able to distinguish the ruins of the fa
mous Tower of Babel; they are most imposing, and
stand on a site formerly called Borsippa, or the Tower
of Languages. The royal town, situated on the two
banks of the Euphrates, covers a space of nearly seven
square kilometres, aud contains most interesting ruins.
Amongst them are those of the royal palace, the for
tress, and the suspended gardens. In the collection of
curiosities which M. Oppert brought away with him is
a vase, which he declares to date from the time of ore
of the Chaldean sovereigns named Naratnbel; that is,
somewhere about one thousand six hundred years be
fore Jesus Christ; also a number of copies of cuneiform
inscriptions, which he has every reason to believe that
he will be able to decipher.

A Miracle. —Sir Ralph Woodford told us that when his
o earner was first started, in Trinidad,he and a large par
ty. a-a mode of patronizing the undertaking, took a trip
of pleasure in ner, through some of the Bocas in the
nun ocean. Almost every one got sick outside,and as
they returned through the Boca Graude, there was no
one on deck but the man at the helm and himself.
When they were in the middle of the passage, a small
privateer, such as commonly infested the gulf during
the troubles in Columbia, was seen making all sail for
the shore of Trinidad. Her course seemett unaccoun
table ; but what was their surprise, when they observed
that, cn nearing the coast the privateer never tacked,
and finally, that she ran herself directly on shore, the
crew at the same time leaping out over the bows and
sides of the vessel, and scampering off as if they wero
mad, some up the mountains, and others into the
thickets. This was so strange a sight, that Sir Ralph
Woodford ordered the helmsman to steer for the priv
ateer, that he might discover the cause of it. When
they came close, the vessel appeared deserted. Sir
Ralph went on board of her, and after searching var
ious parts without finding any one. he at length opened
a little cabin, tgid saw a man lying on a mat evidently
with some broken limb. The man made an effort to
put himself in a posture of supplication ; be was pale as
ashes, his teeth chattered and his hair stood on end.
“ Misericordia! misericordia! Ave Maria!” faltered
forth he Columbian.—Sir Ralph asked the man v* aat
wns the cause of the strange conduct of the crew;
M sen cordial” was the only replv.

answered the smuggler.
It was a considerable time before the fellow could be
brought back to his senses, when he gave this account
o the mit ter; that they saw a vessel, apparently follow
ing them, with only two persons on board, and steer*
it.?, without a single sail, directly in the teeth of the
wind, current and tide:
Against the breeze, against the tide,
She steadied on with upright keel.
That they knew no ship could move in such a course
by human means; that they hearda deep roaring noise
and saw an unusual agitation of the water, which their
f-'ar magnified; finally, that they condluded it to be a
sur,. ri’atural appearance, accordingly drove their ves
■s;! ashore in an agony ot terror, and escaped as they
could; that he himself was not able to move, and that
when he heard Sir Ralph’s footsteps, he verily and in
deed believed that he was fallen into the hauds of the
Evil Spirits.— Coleridge's West Ends.

Criticising a Drop Scene.— “Doesticks,” the queer
correspondent of the Detroit Advertiser, having visited
some “modern classic drama” in New York., thus de
scribes the drop scene of the theatre which he styles a
“magnificent work of art":

with the dagger aod poison bowl—resolved not to be
deceived about a match picture on the other side, and
after an attentive scrutiny, I determined that it is
either a female rag.picker, with a scoop-shovel, or a
Virginia wench with a hoe-cake in her band ; and I made
up my mind that any one disposed to heathenism might
safely worship the same, and trangress no scriptural
command, for it certainly is a likeness of “nothing in
the Heaven above, the earth beneath, or the ~aters un
der the earth.”
H ard of Hearing. — Doing a Dcn. —“l have a small
bill against you,” said the pertinacious looking collec
tor, as he entered the store of one who had acquired the
character of a hard customer.
“Yes sir, a very fine day, indeed,” was the reply.
“1 am not speaking of the weather, but youi bill,”
replied Peter in a loud key.
“It would be better if we had a little raiu.”
“Confound the rain,” continued the collector, and
raising bis voice: “Have you any money to pay on the
bill?”
“Beg your pardon. I’m bard of hearing. I have
made it a rule not to loan my funds to strangers and
I really don’t recognize v#u.
“I’m collector for the Philadelphia Daily Extinguish
er, sir, and have a bill against you,” persisted the col
lector at the top of his voice, producing the bill and
thru-ding it into the face of his debtor.
“I’ve determined to endorse for no one, you may put
that note back in your pocket book, I really can’t en
dorse it.”
“Confound your endorsements—will you pay it ?”
“You’ll pav it, no doubt, sir, but there s always a
rik about these matters you know, so I must decline
it.”
“The money must come to-day.”
“Oh, yes—ninety days, but I would not endorse for
you for a week; so clear out of my store. It’s seldom
that I’m pre sed upon for an endorsement, even by hiv
frien Is; on the part of a stranger, sir, your conduct is
inexplicable. Do not force me to put you out; leave
tbe premises.”
And the bill was returned to the Extinguisher officer,
endorsed —“so confounded deaf that be couldn’t under
stand.”—lludraUd Hews.
New Phases of Mormonism.— Joe Smith, it will be
remembered, was rather a bellicose kind of a prophet.
Sometimes be was re nonstrated with and pretty closely
ques'ioned. Mr. Quincy told a good joke about Joe,
as illustrative of his ingenuity and dignity. Says Joe :
“ If a man smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him
the other also but it he should then strike thee od the
left cheek, pitch, into the fellow /”
Mr. Quincy told another good joke of Joe, at Nanvoo,
when an off.-naive and rebellious gentleman was found
among them; he was very formally waited upon and
requested to sell out. If be then persisted in remain
ing, three men were despatched to sit down at his door
and whittle: when he went into his fields they followed
and whittled; when he went off to town to trade, they
followed him whittling; if he went to church or the
tavern, there were the eternal whittlers, grave as judg
es, never smiling. This was more than human nature
cocld staud.aud at last the obstinate fellow would give
up and at stick himself. — Toledo Blade.
” e like to see a woman treading the high aud
.ioly path of duty unblinded by sunshine and unscathed
by storm. There ore hundreds who do so from the
craule to the grave, heroines of endurance, of whom
the world Las never heard, but whose names will be
bright hereafter, even beside the brightest angels.
Recent demonstrations of the existence of a volcano
in Arkansas have been the cause of much uneasiness
and anxiety to a portion of the inhabitants of that State.
The subterranean fires appear to be located in a moun
tain, about five miles from Waldron, in Scott county.
Three explosions lately occurred in one week; they
were very loud and terrific; threw up stones ami earth;
filled the atmosphere with clouds of dust and smoke,
ami caused the earth to quake for miles around. One
of the .courts was heard at a distance of forty or fifty
miles, f he*earth An the mountains is represented as
havmg sunk to a considerable depth.
The Immaculate Conception.
The addition of a new dogma to the tenets of the most
numerous of tbe religious denominations of Christendom
is one of the remarkable events of the day. The Pope
has thought fit to collect the opinions of the Bishops of
the Catholic Church on the question of the immaculate
conception of Mary, the mother of Jusus, and a large
majority of their voices being in tbe affirmative, he has
proclaimed, as the doctrine of the church, that the bles
sed Virgin was conceived without any stain of original
sin. W hat was heretofore a matter of doubt and dis
pute is now to be a matter of faith. A dogma which
the councils of tbe church hitherto had left open to
qnestiou, which was not regarded as settled by the
Scriptures, or the fathers, or tradition, is now inserted
in the Catholic creed, and all who do not accept it are
to be consideietl as heretics. Os the Bishops of the
Latin Church thirty-two only gave their voices against
the proceeding as unseasonable, and four objected to
adopting a tenet of religion without holding a General
Council, in which it could be first discussed. All Rome
is represented as rejoicing that the list of incontroverti
ble points of doctrine has received this important addi
tion.
Os course this declaration of the sinlessness cf the Vir
gin from the beginning of her existence is not made
without regard to itsoearing upon the doctrines and
practices of the church which adopts it. To the adora
tion of the Son it is not in any manner necessary, or
even auxiliary. The character’ascribed to him by that
church, as one of the persons of the Godhead, is too ex
alted to admit of any additiou of eminence or honor, of
purity or sanctity. *
The Latin Church, however, prescribes the worship
of the Virgin, and any view of her character by which
it is exalted and brought nearer to the Divine would of
course increase her claims to reverence, and so far les
sen the.difficulty which some of the faithfi 1 might feel
in offering prayers to a human being. T’ .6 doctrine of
her immaculate conception places her ’ .atification far
above that of any ot the Saints in t e calendar. It
places her in a s'ate of exemption fr a all human frail
ties, from all liabilities, from all ’..Jity to sin and er
ror throughout the course of her life, and elevates her
to a height of sanctity which no other of the children
of men ever occupied. The new dogma is, therefore,
auxiliary to the adoration of the Virgin. Henceforth it
is not permitted to any member of the Latin Church to
admit the possibility of her having fallen into sin by
any proclivity or infirmity inherited from her progeni
tors. If any man hereafter shall seek to lesseu her
claims to the reverence in which she is held by speak
ing of her as liable, by original constitution, to the de
fects of our common nature, he blasphemes and renders
himself subject to the censures of the church. In this
manner the new dogma aids and fortifies the practice
of praying to the Virgin.
Among the Prelates who objected that the doctrine
of the immaculate conception should not be made a
tenet of the Latin Church without the intervention of a
General Couucil the Archbishop of Paris is mentioned.
The Galiican Church has hitherto shown itself some
what intractable in the relations which it has maintain
ed with the Pope; and irom a letter written at Paris it
appears that there is some dissatisfaction with the late
proceeding among the French Catholics. It would be
rash, however, to predict any thing but eventual sub
mission to the Papal authority in regard to this ques
tion. The tendency to liberalism in the Latin Church
has had its day, for the present at least, and now the
movement of the religious miud is in the contrary di
rection.—M. Y. Eoeniug Post.
Opposition to the Pope's Decree in France.
Paris, December 16.
The Popish business of the Immaculate Conception is
likely forthwith to excite something more than a specu
lative interest in France. The bull promulgating the
new dogma, which every Catholic must believe or be
stigmatised as a heretic, arrived yesterday at the resi
dence of the Pope’s Nuncio in Paris; but, by a positive
article of Napoleon’s Concordat, no popish hull can be
promulgated in Frauce without the approbation ot the
Council of State. It is ruruoivd that a serious opposi*
tion is preparing in this learned body. M. de Corine
nin, it is said, will pronounce an elaborate oration
against granting the visa. In support of the heretical
opposition a pamphlet by M. lsambert, a Judge of the
Court of Cassation, is announced as forthcoming.
I, however, doubt very much whether the projected
opposition in the Council of State will be successful.—
1 he Government is no doubt jealous of priestly power,
but to a certain extent it feels tbe necessity of making
common cause with the priesthood; and I think it will
not, after reflection, strike such a deadly blow at Rome
tw the rejection of the darling doctrine of the hour
would be.
Galapagos Islands.
The report has received currency iD some papers, that
the United States has made a treaty with Ecuador, by
which the latter government consents to cede the Gala
pagas Islands to this country for the sum of three mil
lions of dollars. The Panama Herald gives the follow
ing reasons tor believing the report, aud furnishes a
sketch of these islands as follows;
Ist. Because the Galapagos Islands are the resort of ft
large number of American whalers, aud would ‘jecomo
a very important naval station; and, tnoreo' er large
deposits of guano aud nitre are said to exis> there’ which
would be of the utmost value to the agr „ n i tllP .f
e.t And ,h, policy of tbe to
evidently to. acquu eby purchase impo rtant positions
beyond the hunts of the Union, a8 is knifes,£ in the

’ U o d .‘ er, £ nea *?> ** and in the China seas, Ac.
, d t k*^ CUa< j ) 4il S upt, and wants money to pay
tier debts, and three ’millions of dollars would be of
more use to nor tha\, the islands in question, which are
now only ’ised as a place of banishment for a few con
victs. 1
t . ‘Atiy. Becp.use, in consequence of a report made on
the 31st of July last by a select committee of the House
of Representatives appointed upon tbe memorial of the
citizens of Delaware, prayiug the intervention of the go
vernment of the U. States in the guano traffic with Pe
ru, a commissioner was sent out to Peru and the south
coast, and though we do not know his instructions, we
may reasonably infer that he Las power to treat for the
acquisition of auy islands containing guano deposits,
ana that commissioner, we believe, has visited Ecuador.
4thly. General Vitamil, the Equadorian minister at
Washington, is the proprietor of one of the largest of
the islands, and has for some time past been anxious to
sell, and it is natural to anppose that he would have
brought the subject before the notice of the government
of the United States.
Putting all these circumstances together, we do not
therefore hesitate in believing the event probable.
The Galapagos Islands, as is generally known, are sit
uated about five or six hundred miles from the coast of
America, and lie immediately under the equator. The
Archipelago consists of ten principal islands, of which
five exceed the others in size, namely; Albemarle, In
defatigable, Chatham, Narborough, and James —the
smallest ones are Barrington, Charles, Hood, Bindloes
and Abington.
The climate is excessively hot, as might be supposed
from their position, nor does much rain fall, but the
clouds hang low; and though the lower parts are ster
ile, at an elevation of a thousand feet and upwards, it
possesses a tolerably luxuriant vegetation.
The Islands are all volcanic, and Darwin, whom we
quote, says there cannot be less than two thousand cra
ters througout the group. They are generally very
sterile, and water is exceedingly scarce; on some of the
islands none is known to exist.
The animals, insects and plants of these islands, in
most instances, differ from all others known, but they
are very few in number, and except tortoises and a few
wild pigs, of no use to man. There are numerous good
harbors, and the neighboring seas abound with whales,
which cause it to be much frequented by whalers. Ex
cellent fish is caught close to the shore, and as we men
tioned before in this journal, there is a fishing estab
lishment of about thirty men on the islands, who dry
the fish and find a ready market for them in Peru. Ni
tre is said to exist, and latterly we have heard of large
deposits of guano, extending thirty miles in length bv
two in breadth, and over 110 feet in depth: but Darwin
expresslv says that there is & remarkable scarcity of
aquatic birds at this group, and captains of vessels who
have visited them all assure us that they never knew of
of the existence of any.
Such are the Galapagos Islands as they at present ex
ist, but if they fall into the hands of the’ Anglo-Saxons
it is not improbable that their energy, experience and
skill may convert them into a fruitful storehouse and a
pleasant resting place for the mariner who traverses
tbe Pacific.
Connecticut. —The natives and their descendants of
this good old State are deservedly proud of their glori
ous old commonwealth. If Connecticut is famous for
its wooden nutmegs and Yankee notions generally, it is
equally celebrated for its intelligent pretty women, and
enterprising, pushing, go-ahead, men. One unperishable
monument of the wisdom and sagacity of her people is
her school fund, exceeding two millions of dollars, and
annually increasing. With the interest of this fund
she educates every child within her limits, and annually
sends out a crop of school teachers, male and female,
to supply the wants of every state in the Union.
Connecticut has much in her past history to be proud
of. She possessed the first written constitution of
government ever known in the political history of the
world; ihis was drawn up in 1639, and it is worthy of
remark, that not the least allusion to or mention is made
of ’His Majesty.” In the revolutionary war, Connecti
cut furnished thirteen thousand men—one fifth of its
entire population aud one-third of its adults. It was
the proud privilege of Connecticut to have the only reb
el Governor in the thirteen United Colonies, and that
was Jonathan Trumbull, from whom the Americans
have derived the name of Brother Jonathan.
The Overland Stage Route. —We find the follow
ing item in the last batch of news from California:—
“The San Diego Herald of Nov. 21,(which is the
latest date received at San Francisco from Southern
California) says: Mr. Felix Tracy, with Adams A Co.’s
Messenger, started this morning for Salt Lake City, by
the way ot San Bernardino, where Mr. Tracy will re
main as resident agent. It is his attention to thoroughly
examine the route with special reference to its practi
cability for a stage route, and should it be favorable, and
inducements offer, a line of stages will be placed there
on. In the meantime, express matter to anv amount
will be transported on mules. Mr. Leach, Mail Con
tractor, goes with the party to determine the feasibility
of a semi monthly mail.”
These facts show there is something more than mere
discussion on the opening of this overland stage line.
While others have speculated upon the subject, Adams
A Cos. have commenced operat ions. Already they have
sent an agent to establish him9elf at Salt Lake City,
and to examine the route between there and California,
an experienced mail contractor accompanying the party,
to determine the feasibility of a semi-monthly mail.
Meantime the company announces its readiness to trans
port express matter on mules. These arrangements,
we presume, refer only to the route between halt'Lake
and California, but they are of the greatest importance
as diminishing the distance remaining to be provided
for by the great overland route.

ASTONISHING CURE OF SORE LEGS, AFTER 9

GST READ HIS OWN WORDS.
To Prof. Holloway:
. } l ‘ s not . m . T ] v ’ s h t° become notorious, neither
xs this letter written for the mere sake of writing but
to say that your Omtment cured me of one of the most
dreadlul cutaueous diseases that flesh is heir to and
which was considered by all who know me, to be en
tirely beyond the reach of medicine. For nine years I
was afflicted with one of the most painful and trouble
some sore legs that ever fell to the lot of man ; and af
ter trying every medirine I had heard of, I resigned in
despair all hope of being cured ; but a friend brought
me a couple of large pots of your Ointment, which
caused the sores on my legs to heal, and I entirely re
gained my health to my agreeable surprise and delight
aud to the astonishment of my friends. s ‘

AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF A BAD BREAST

To Prof. Holloway, 38, Corner of Ann and Nassau
Streets, N Y.
Dear Sir—lt is with heartfelt gratitude I have to in
form you that by the use of your Ointment and Pills,
the life of my w ife has been saved. For several years
she had a bad breast, with ten running wounds, (not of
a cancerous nature.) I was told that nothing could save
her; she was then induced to use your Ointment and
Pills, when in the short space of three months, they ef
fected a perfect cure, to the astonishment of all wh@
knew us. We obtained your Medicine from Messrs.
Wright & Cos., of Chartres-street, New Orleans. 1 send
this from “Hotel des Princes,” Paris, although, I had
written it at New Orleans, before we finally left, at that
time, not knowing your address at New Y’ork.

AYER’S PILLS,
FOR ALL THE PFRroSES OF A
FAMILY PHYSIC.
~ THERE Las existed a public
Y demand (or an effective purgatire
\ pill which could be relied on as sure
f a,1( l 1 ‘'Heetly safe in its operation*.
V Thi- has been prepared to meet that
demand, and uu extensive trial of
| ’r yjy its virtues has conclusively shown
with what success it accomplishes
the purpose designed. It is easy to
make a physical Fill, but not easy
to make the best of all Fits —one which should have
none of the objec'ions, but all the advantages of every
other. This has been attempted here, and w ith wbot
success we would respectfully submit to the public de
cision. It has been unfortunate for the patient hither
to that almost every purgative medicine is acrimonious
and irritating to the bowels. This is not. Many of
them produce so much griping pain and revulsion in
the system as to more than counterbalance the good to
be derived from them. These piU- produce no irrita
tion or pain, unless it arise from a previously existing
obstruction or derangement in the bowels. B'eingpuro
ly vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in &nv
quantity; but it is better that anv medicine should be
token judiciously. Minute directions for their use in
the several diseases to which they are applicable are
given on the box. AmoDg the complaints which have
been speedily cured by them, we may mention Liver
Complaint, in its various forms of Jaundice, Indigestion,
Languor and Loss of Appetite, Listlessness, irritability,
Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, l’ain
in the Side and Loins, for, in truth, all there ate but
the consequence of disease action in the liver. As an
aperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Costive
ness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula and
Scurvy, Colds, with soreness of the body, Ulcers aid
impurity of the blood; in short, any and everv case
where a purgative is required.
They have also produced some singulatly successful
cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel, Ei vsipe
las, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the Back, Stom
ach, and They should be freely taken in the
spring of the year, to purify the blood and prepare the
system for the change of seasons. An occasional dost
stimulates the stomach aud bowels into healthy action,
and restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood, and, by their stimulant action on the circulatoiy
system, renovate the strength of the body, and restore
the wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous even though
no serious derangement exists; but unnecessary dosing
should never be carried too far, as every purgative
medicine reduces the strength, w hen taken to excess.—
The thousand cases in which a physic is required can
not be enumerated here, but they suggest themselTes
to the reason of every body ; and it is confidentially be
lieved this pill will answer a better purpose than anv
thing which has hitherto been available to mankind.—
When their virtues are once known the public will no
longer doubt what remedy to employ when in need of
a cathartic medicine.
Being sugar w rapped they are pleasant to take, and
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their
use in any quantity.

CHERRY PECTORAL,
For the rapid Cure of
COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS, BRONCHITIS,
WHOOPING-COUGH, CROUP , ASTH
MA AND CONSUMPTION.
This remedy has won for itself such notoriety for its
cures of every variety of Pulmonary disem-e, that it is
entirely unnecessary to recount the evidences of its vir
tues in any community where it has been employed.—
So wide is the field ot its usefulness, and so numerous
the cases of its cures, that almost every section of tbe
country abounds in persons publicly known, who have
been restored from alarming and even desperate dis*
eases of the lungs by its use( When once tried its su
periority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent to escape observation, aDd where its virtue*
are known, the public no longer hesitate w hat antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous a flections
of the pulmonary organs which are incident to our cli
mate. And not only in formidable attacks upon tbe
lungs, but for the milder varieties of COLDS, COUGHS,
HOARSENESS, Ac.; and for CHILDREN it is the plea
santest aud salest medicine that can be obtained.
As it has long been in constant use throughout this
section, we need not do more than assure the people its
quality is kept up to tbe best that it ever has been, and
that the genuine article is sold in Macon bv George
Payne and E. L. Strohecker A Cos.; in Forsyth by En
sign A Phelps; in Knoxville by F. H. Murdock; in
Thomaston by W. H. Sandwich, and by Druggists and
Dealers in Medicine everywhere.
