doming pspatefc. AUGUST A, GA: Tuesday Evening. March it, IH.VW. Another Roorback. We are frequently hard run for some thin" to write about, and have to fall hack upon that never-failing topic, “the weather;” but we have never yet been forced to manufacture bogus stories for the edification of our readers, as is the custom of some of our Northern ex changes and their correspondents. A few weeks ago we copied, from the N. Y. Sunday Mercury, an account of a ter rible fight, said to have occurred in Au gusta, Ga., and in which three men were killed and two others wounded— with the simple remark, that no such fight ever occurred here. Os a piece with that story is the following, which emanates from the New York correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper: “Some months since a man, Ben Jack son by name, from High Hill, Wilkin son county, Georgia, came to New York to purchase goods. A prominent dry "oods firm sold him on six month s cred- Ft. When the bill became due Mr. Jackson did not respond. Several let ters were written, hut no letter came. Finally, some one wrote that Jackson had been murdered. An agent of the creditors has lately visited High Hill with a view to look af ter the estate of the murdered man. On inquiry the following facts appear ed : Jackson, so it was alleged had committed some indiscretion toward the daughter of a gentleman planter.— The injured father called upon the mer chant for satisfaction. This was declin ed ; when the enraged father caught Jackson in his own store by the hair of his bead, drew him acioss the counter, and with a huge knife, severed his head ■ from his body. The old man was arrest ed, tried aiid acquitted. The ground of his discharge was that the murder was committed in self-defence. In the first place, we don't believe that there is any such place as “High ! Hill” in Wilkinson county; in the sec ond place, we don't believe any such) man as Ben Jackson ever lived at “High j Bill,'' in Wilkinson county, and in the I third place, admitting that there is such a place as “High Hill” in Wilkinson countv, and that such a man as Ben! Jackson lived there, we don’t believe the balance of the story.

Origin of the Mormons. It will he recoilcctod that about a Tear ago a mormon emissary named Par ley P. Pratt was killed in Arkansas, by one McLean, whose wife he had persuad ed to leave her family, to become one of his “spiritual” harem in Utah,— Wo find the following statement among the writings of this Pratt, who was known as one of their ablest aud most v-alous propagandists : “ The Book of Mormon contains the history of the ancient inhabitants of America, who were a branch of tiie house of Israel, of the tribe of Joseph, of whom tiie Italians are still a lemnant , but the principal nation of them having fallen in battle in the fourth or fifth century, one of their prophets, whose name was Mormon, saw fit to make an abridgment of their history, their pro phecies and their doctrines, which lie engraved on plates, and afterwards, be ing slain, the second fell in the hands of his son Moroni, who, being hunted by enemies, was directed to deposit the ward safely in the earth, with a prom ise from God that it should be preserved and -hould be brought to light in tiie latter days by means of a Gentile nation who should posses the land.” The deposit was made about the year 420 in a Hill called Cumora, in what is now Ontario County, where it was pre aerved until it was brought to light by no less than the ministry of angels, and translated by inspiration.” As to the meaning and derivation of I the word Mormott, we are favored with; the following absurd etymology from j Joe Smith himself, characteristic .both of his impudence aud his ignorance : “The Bible,in its widest sense, means j good. Wesay from the Saxon, good; tiie Dane, good ; the Goth, yoda ; the Ger man, gut ; the Dutch, goed ; the Latin, bonus ; the Greek, Kalos ; tiie Hebrew, j lob . and the Egyptian, won. Hence, with the addition of more, or the con-! traction mor, we have the word mor-mon, i ■which means, iitterally, more yood."

Messes Editors On leaving Law renceville last Friday Morning, the Marshal was calling the roll of all who lived in the corporation, to see if any one wns missing. A great many in and near Lawrenceville, have become so in | volved in debt recently that they can not make the figures fit precisely, as Gov. Brown was taught'Book {Keeping, and consequently a large portion of our substantial citizens are slippling off in the night to Alabama, to prevent be ing broken up. During ten years residence in Gwin nett County, I have never known as much litigation, or half so much run ning away for debt as is now known.— It is generally conceded that all the debtors go to Alabama, and the rascals to Texas, and Arkansas. The Athens Fire Companies were out ’ in full uniform this evening drilling. I understand the Hope, No. 1 have just received their Engine and were trying it against the old one No. 2. The new i one threw water something over two hundred feet, beating the old one fifty feet. All of Athens, and more particu larly the negroes and little boys were out to see the great sight of the big squirt gun, as one little fellow called the hose. The two companies made a fine appearance, and will no doubt do good service when called upon to con quer the great devouring epidemic of cities. Trade is very dull, but little cotton coming in. Trices are nominal. I understand in the streets to day, . several of the Students of Franklin Col lege are celling off their hooks, etc. aud I j are going to leave. The cause of their ! leaving I was not able to learn. It was 1 also whispered to-day there would not ' | be more than 25 students in the Col , j lege, at the next commencement. I | j hope this is not true. Yours &c„ Buck Horn. ! We find the following problem jin one of our exchanges which has | been solved in various ways, by differ | ent persons.'

Does the agent "owe the town, or the town the agent, and how much ? Did tiie town make or lose, and how much by the agency ?” ——— -®. Balloon Accident. On Sunday Mr. Morat, (in his well known balloon,started on an aerial race against a much larger balloon, under the management of Mr. Wells. The latter, it is understood, was inflated by vapor of alcohol ; Mr. Morat’s, as usual with gas. Mr. Wells ascended very ra pidly at first; but, on attaining a height of about 900 feet, it collapsed, in conse quence, it appears, of the cold conden sing the vapor within. It then descend ed with appalling rapidity, though for tunately assuming somew hat of a para chute form, not so fast or dangerously as it otherwise would. It lighted on a house in Exchange Alley, on to the roof : of which Mr. Wells jumped from his perilous position ; and then ii descend ed into the alley. A vaster crowd than we have evergbefore seen in New Orleans rushed through the streets to the scene of the catastrophe, expecting that Mr. Wells must neccessarily have been kill ed ; but he happily escaped without 1 any injury whatever. M. Morat’s[ bal loon, after a very tine voyage, descend ed near tho Belleville Iron Works in Algiers. The barbarous rabble hissed and hooted Mr. Wells very savagely as he walked home.- —Mew Orleans Courier. A Molanses Case*. In the Court of Common Pleas in New Yolk city on Monday, in an action against two distillers to recover the price agreed upon for a lot of molasses it being in evidence that the molasses was limed —the Court instructed the jury if ' they believed tiie evidence, tiie defend ants were entitled to the reduction they claimed. The jury deducted 30 per cent from the bill sued for, and defendants had the allowance specified by the ' Court. - Tliis scheme of sweetening, or doctoring, molasses, is not by any j means a new one, or one of uncommon i occurrence. The evil lias subsisted for ! years, as is specially known to those in j the distillery business. Such, however, j are the facilities possessed by the trade that there is little chance to impose on its members, it is very different in deed with with the general public ; for in many instances—a very great many —they innocently purchase and pay for lan article, limed as the molasses was I in the New York ease, or doctored with j other alkali, which reduces its value 1 from 15 to 50 per cent. Men who talk : ■ loud at the corners of the streets of j moral infirmity, buy sour molasses at a depreciated price, and doctor and sell it j in the n-.annet alluded to to the unwitting public. Such men as we know hold up j their hands in deprecation of the man ! who would sell a gallon of good liquor | and poison their customers with molas ses fixed up in such fashion. The fraud is easily detected by men of experience and we are informed by such that its extent, in the, retail trade in this city, j would hardly be credited. Taking tile Back track. The present Ohio Legislature has re i pealed the law of the last, in regard to j the conveyance and devise of church property, thus again enabling the Bish- I ops of the Roman Church to acquire and hold all church property in fee simple. In a recent address of “ John Baptist, by the Grace of God and Favor of the Holy Sec, Archbishop of Cincinnati.” tiie writer says that “it is necessary, in ; 1 a country like this,that a Bishop should . j.have freedom of action to avail himself i |of the fluctuations in value of real es i tat*-', to buy and. sell aud make good bargains for the use and benefit of his , diocese." deposit a lump of salt in your horse's manager, and allow him to have free i access to it. Epidemic Disease of tile Eye. We learn that in the Western part of the State a peculiar disease of the eye is so common as to seem to be an epidemic. It commences with a sharp, pricking sen sation, as though a particle of sand or glass had been introduced into the eye. This isimmediately followed by excessive inflammation and enlargement of the organ, which in many cases results in the total loss of sight. A resident of Sta ten Islaud on a recent visit to Albany, suffered from this cause, and has barely escaped the destruction of one of his ■ eyes.— M. Y. Com. A Comfortable Establishment. A correspondent of the New Yolk In dependent thus describes the domain of ■ the Duke of Devonshire:—“The do . main of the Duke of Devonshire would cover one of our largest counties. The ' park immediately surrounding the pal ace is eleven miles in circumference, . and contains 3000 acres. The principal gardens for vegetables, fruits, green houses, etc , is twenty-five acres. 111616 are thirty green-houses, each from fifty : to seventy-five feet long. We went in to three or four containing nothing hut pine apples, ripe: others contain noth • ing but melons and cucumbers. One ; peacli tree on the glass wall measured fifty-one feet in width ;uid fifteen feet high, and bears one thousand peaches. ' It is the largest in the world. The grape-houses—five or six in all—are 600 feet long, and such grapes! We saw pine-apples weighing ten or fifteen pounds each. One green house had on ly figs, another only mushrooms. But what shall be said of tiie great conser vatory, filled with every variety of trop ical plants? It is one of the wonders of the world. It covers an acre of ground, is 100 feet high, of oval shape, and cost $500,000. It is heated by steam and Hot water pipes, which in all are six miles in length. The apparatus con sumes 600 tons]of coal in a year. We saw banana trees twenty feet high, with clusters of fruit, sugar cane, coffee-trees bamboo, aud in short, every tropical plant that can he named. Several of the palm-strees are from fifty to sixty j feet high. The smoke of the immense j ' fire underneath is carried in pipes under ground to an outlet iu the woods The! coal is brought in a tunnel 600 yards j underground.. One fountain throws a jet of water to the height of 275 feet. Wearing the Best Clot lies. An American correspondent of the I Home Journal, who was present at the, late royal wedding, thus quietly de-j scribes one of his very natural mistakes: “ There we set a wall of human bricks, j until twelve o’clock. Owing to an j obese dowager on one side, and Fred on: the other, I didn't breathe easily fori two interminable hours. Iu the mean-! time, my eyes were industrious enough,! and my tongue too, as for that matter; but I made so many ludicrous mistakes with the latter felicitous article, that I j gave up in despair, gazed, and said 1 nothing. Like Dame Partington, I couldn't open my mouth but I put my foot into it. Twice only my rebel tongue was too much for me. “‘Fred,’ said I, after a prolongedi silence - who is that distingushed noble man just opposite—the one all gold lace aud silk stockings ?’ “ ‘That,’ replied Fred, trying to hush down a malicious laugh ; ‘that isi Lord B 's footman !' “ 1 O lord!’though I. ‘Well, then, j Fred, I venture again—whose footman [ is that ? and I pointed with my bouquet j to a modesty dressed man, who was lean- j ing against a pillar beneath us and looking at everything with a pair ofj cold grey eyes. ‘Whose footman is that ?’ “ ‘That,’ said Fred, ‘ is Lord B. him- i self!’ “After that. I kept still, but I thought to myself, ‘ What a land is this where the footmen wear all the good clothes.'” The success of camphor as an anti dote to strychnia, in the two cases re ported last year by Dr. Rochester, of) Buffalo, prompted to its trial in a recent j case, reported at length in the Virginia Medical Journal, by Dr. Claiborne, of Pe-j tersbnrgh. The strychnia was taken j with suicidal intent, in a dose of two grains, and the patient was not seen un-j til'tetanic and epileptic spasms ofinten-; se violence had supervened, which con tinued for hours, until 1 draelim of cam-; phor had been administered in doses of | 10 to 6 grs. every half hour, when they' ceased, and the patient recovered. Resumption In Savaliunll* If the redemption of their bills, by spe-; cie or its equivalent, be tantamount to a resumption of specie payments, then have our banks in Savannah resumed. We learn, from authority, that all tiie banks in our city were selling exchange j on New Y'ork, yesterday, at a half of | one per cent, premium, and are prepar ed to furnish any amount at that price. This wholly supercedes the necessity for the payment of specie, as it would fake the half per cent, to transport it to New 1 York. We may also add, that, for weeks, our banks have not refused specie to, bill-holders in any case where it was [ needed, in reasonable amounts, for indi-; vidua! convenience ; indeed we believe this has been their uniform practice i from the date of the suspension. We| have in oirt mind’s eye one of our hanksj that has paid over $50,000 for duties alone. This places our currency on a specie basis, and we hope in a few days more! to record the gratifying fact of a com-) plete resumption. It will thus be seen that Gov. Brown j and his coadjutors are now emphatieal- j lv in the condition of Sbakespear's col ored gentleman in the play -their “oc-j cupation’s gone.”— Savannah Mepubliean. i The Se,v Capital of Kansas. Minneola, the new capital of Kan-! sas is situated about twenty miles from Lawrence near Centropolis. It has (wo thousand acres of laud for its! site. No houses, we believe, as yet. A correspondent of the Leavenworth Iltr- \ aid says the bill fixing this location for! the new Capital, “passed very curious-j ly, vote after vote being taken, and! members one alter another voted for! this place.” Governor Denver vetoed | the hill, but the Legislature again pass ed it by a two-thirds vote in both Houses. The same correspondent, in another conneeti n says, “A great deal | of outside pressure is here, and much intrigue and dishonesty are displayed.” “Good morning, Jones, how does the world use you?” “Humph! It uses me up, thank you. Os all the reformers and enthusiasts, j no one has done so much to enlarge the sphere of woman, as—Hoops. THE MUST NEWS. BY TELEORAI • Charleston Market.

Tlie dyspeptic patient, whose stomach j has lost the power of duly converting food into a ! life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single j course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric ! Quid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude I nutriment, which was a load ami a burthen to j the sufferer, while his digestive organization was i paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the | wholesome revolution created in the system, the I basis of activity, strength and health. | The nervous sufferer, while tormented bv the I acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague tcr ; rors. wakened by periodical lit-*, threatened with ; paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that i terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of j nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain | or disability arising from the unnatural condition i of the wonderful machinery which connects ev j ery member with the source of sensation, mo | tion and thought—derives immedrte benefit from the use of this Cordial, which atonce calms, | invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous ; organization. Female? who have tried it are unanimous in j declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the hands of j medical men. j Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im ’ mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. I While it renews the strength of the digestive j powers it creates a ties ire for the solid material which is to be subjected to their action. As an ; appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmaeopia. ! if long life and the vigor necessary to its en -1 joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of ! precious worth I Its beneficial effects arc not confined to either ; sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general de J bility or from the weakness of a single organ will all find immediateand permanent rolhf from the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will proven complete and unfailing safe guard i against that terrible milady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion that they think themselves beyond the reach of medicine. Let cot even those despair. The; Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re j | leronce to the causes, and will not only remove ; the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- j stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush | of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil- j ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofself-dc- ! s ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys-1 p-:*p.=ia. general prostration, irritability, nervous- | ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe- j males, decay of the propagating function-, liys j teria, monomania, vague terror?, palpitation of. the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from 1 whatever cau r e arising, it is, if there is any re!i- ; ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute- } ]y infallible. * CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial j has been counterfeited by some unprincipled ; persons.
