AUGUSTA, GA:
Thursday Evening, April 13, 1858.
That Infernal Machine.
Our notice the other day, about the
“ strange yet simple fixture" found by
Smith, of thcCartersville Express, lying
on the railroad track, coupled him
with the Cassville Standard, of which he
was formerly' editor. The Standard dis
claims the whole affair, and insists that
he has seen torpedoes, elephants and
the like before. Smith, too, tries a dis- |
claimer, by saying that it has been a ’
year since he was connected with the ]
Standard, and thereby evidently thinks <
to conceal the allair of the strange
yet simple fixture.” Ah, SMiTH-thou ,
art the man—and we honestly congrat- ,
ulate you that you were not blown to
Davy Jones’, and that "the train passed
aver it latho-.’t damage.”
Another Duel—may he.
The Montgomery Advertiser says: “As
the community has been somewhat ex
ercised of late in relation to ‘the duel,’
we may be allowed to state that there
will soon be fresh food for the public
curiosity to feed upon. The parties are
. , well, never mind, only one of
them belongs to the ‘press-gang.’”
Let them come to West Point, by all
means—it is a most salutary spot for
compromising difficulties and vindicat
ing wounded honor. Or, if West Point
should fail to heal the breach, we would
recommend the salubrious environs of
Shultz’s Hill, opposite this city. Let
them come to Hamburg—nobody has
been hurt there in a coon’s age.
A New Issue of Treasury Notes.— An
other Loan of Fire Millions Dollars. —The j
Secretary of the Treasury has given no
tice that he will receive sealed proposals

five millions of dollars in Treasury
notes, in exchange for gold coin of Uni
ted States deposited with the Treasurer ,
of the United States, the Treasurer of
the Mint at Philadelphia, the Treasurer
of the Branch Mint at New Orleans, or
the Assistant Treasurers at Boston, New
York, Charleston, or St. Louis, within
ten days from the acceptance of such
proposals, UDder the authority of the
act of Congress entitled “An act to
authorize the issue of Treasury notes,”
approved 23d December, 1857.
The Mormons.—The Mormons claim
to have 480,000 members of their
Church scattered over the world. They
have 95 missionaries in Europe, and an
equal number in Africa, Asia and the
Pacific Islands. They have one paper in

ry week; one in Liverpool, issuing
22,000 weekly; one in Swansey, South
Wales, one in Copenhagen, in the Dan
ish language ; one in India; one iu
Switzerland, iu the French language.—
The “Book of Moimons” has been
translated and published in the Welch,
Danish, French, Germau and Italian
language.
The Printing Swindle—The printing
of the Pacific Railroad report, ordered by
Congress, cost of itself over one hun
dred thousand dollars. Forlithograph
ing and printing in colors a single ox
for the Patent Office Report, we find
the sum of $10,576 paid to Wagner &
McGuigan. For a similar service for
one hull, the sum of $10,576 was paid ;
for a cow the sum of $7,500, and for
one horse the sum of $5,576.

Topics for the Southern Commercial ’
Convention.
Mr. DBow, President of the last Com- :
mcrcial Convention, at Knoxville, lias 1
suggested the following topics for dis- ,
cussion at the coining session, and in

1. The question of master and slave
involving the physical and religious i
improvement of the slave ; the subject

bounty and navigation system upon
the South, and the reciprocal interests
of the planter aud the merchant.

mercial ami internal improvement sys
tems, and the subject of ocean steamers
and marts.

Importnut from Utah—Supplying the
Mormons with Powuer.
A letter from Camp Scott, published
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, dated March j
I.says:
Last week, on examining the waggons
that Mr. Rupp, (the agent of Russell,
Waddle & Co.) packed at Fort Bridger,
there were found in an interior wagon
one thousand pounds of powder, and,
other merchandise, directed toEldridge, I
the agent for the Mormon Church, with]
“For X. Y.” underneath. “X. Y.”
means the Church of Mormon! This
powder and this merchandise, Russell
& Waddle, -through their agent, Mr.
Rupp, carted all the way across the,
plains for the enemies of the Govern
ment, which employed Russell & Wad
dle to freight provisions for the army it
has sent here to put down the Mormon
rebellion! Whether Russell & Wad
dle knew that this powder was com
ing. and authorized it, I am not able to |
say. if they did sanction it, they can!
never outlive the disgrace which must
legitimately fall upon them for furnish
ing powder to a people who are every
hour preparing, aud waiting the time
, to send their'halls through the hearts; i
of loyal American citizens! Let us
hope the gentlemen of the firm knew
nothing of this—that it was the act of
their agent. Mr. Rupp.
On tlie discovery of the powder. Rupp;
diappeared. and forfeited his bond for
SSOO to appear as a witness at the next j
term of the court.
A Good
We heard the other day a capital an
ecdote of a witty clergyman of this
city, who is said never to come off se- j
cond best in a jocular encounter :
As one day he was passing down one j
of the streets of a large village in this
State, where he was settled, he was!
observed by some waggish hangers;
on at a public house which he was 1
approaching. One of these fellows, i
knowing that tne reverend gentle
man was a “hard caße” at a joke, said
that he would bet the drinks for all j
hands that he could head Mr. H . |
“Done,” was the response from a!
number.
As Mr. H came opposite the I
merry group, the proposer of the bet
called to him. Mr. H——— halted and
draw near, whereupon the confident
chap thus addressed him :
“ Mr. H , we have a dispute
here of some importance, which we
have agreed to leave to you as one com
petent to give a correct decision.”
“Ah! what is it?”
“It is in relation to the age of the
devil; will you tell us how old he is ?”
“Gentlemen,” said the imperturable ;
minister, “how can you presume me to
be acquainted with matters of that
sort ? Ton must keep your own family• l
records!”
The minister went about his business,
and the vanquished gentleman went in
and treated freely. —Nashua IN. H.) j

In Memphis last summer John Able 1
killed a man named Everson. Mob vio
lence against him was the cry, the rope
was around his neck several times ; but
j the law was Anally allowed to take its
course, and he was tried and easily ac
quitted. He has now instituted suit
against nine of those most prominent
in the mob proceedings against him,
laying his damages at SIOO,OOO. The
case is to be tried at Jackson in the
Federal Court, and the parties may
have to answer in round damages for
taking the law in their own hands.

The Interior of North America,
Prof. Henry, of the Smithsonian In
stitution, has collected facts respecting
the interior of the United States, which
will command the attention of scientif
ic men and statesmen. The induc
tion trofn these facts is, that the entire
region of the United States west of the
98th degree west longitude, (say the
western boundary of Minnesota,) with
the exception of a small portion of
Western Texas and the narrow border
along the Pacific, (including California,)
is a sterile waste of comparatively little value,
and which can never ho available to
the agriculturist. The importance of
this statement will be more fully com
prehended when it is considered that
the line of Prof. Henry, which extends
| southward from Lake Winnipeg to the
1 Mexican Gulf, will divide the surface of
\ the United States into two nearly equal
1 parts.
The intense heat and extreme dry
-1 ness of this region, which will make the
i Great American Plains a barren ivaste
I forever, is caused to a great extent, ac
cording to Prof. Henry’s theory, by the
1 fact that the returning trade winds,
sweeping over the elevated masses ol
the Rocky Mountains, are deprived of
their moisture ; in other words, the
heated air which ascends at the equator
saturated with moisture it has extracted
! in its passage over the ocean, after de
positing a portion of its vapor in the
tropics at the rainy season, it is further
disicated by the ridges and mountains
, which it meets, the vapor being con
densed on the windward side by the
cold due to the increased vertical light,
and it finally passes over and strikes the
plain as dry as a sponge w hich has been ,
. thoroughly squeezed. Without mois-j
: ture there can be no fertility, no agri- j
j culture, and a great portion of this wil-;
! derness, according to Prof. Henry, is as
irredeemably barren, for the purpose of
agriculture, as the deseits of Africa. If
i this theory lie true, it will greatly mod-!
ify the opinions which have been en- j
j tertained by politicians and statesmen I
lof the future destiny of the -‘Great
West.”
Terrible Gale at Auburn, Ala.,
A terrible storm of rain and wind pas
| sed over Auburn, Ala., on Sunday last,
j destroying property to a great extent.
A correspondent of the Montgomery
Mail thus describes it :
The wind commenced blowing stiffly
about four o’clock. It increased in pow
er and in wildness, tearing the young
twigs from the trees and strewing the
streets with leaves. In the North wa6
seen an almost continuous stream of the
most vivid lightning, accompanied |
with terrific peals of thunder, ’the
storm broke in its fury over our village j
at about half past four. It continued
but a few minutes at a maximum, and .
gradually subsided. But during these
few moments, much of the beauty of!
our town was destroyed forever, while
several houses were badly injured, and
palings and fences levelled totheground.
Four or five of the principal stores had
their front parapet walls blown down,
including among others tiie Drug Store
occupied by Mr. Geo. Dixon, and the
Grocery Store of Mr. Thomas Slaton.—
! The dwellinghouse of Mr. Philpot,fonn
! erly a resident of your city, was com
pletely- unroofed; bis kitchen blown
i down, and fences destroyed. The piaz
: za of the old Hotel, nowoecupied by Mr.
; Geo. Foster, was torn entirely away.—
i Large flakes of tin. from the roof of the
Male College, which had not been fas
; tened down, were scattered over the
i streets. The steeple of,the Baptist Church
i was blown down. A large oak tree fell
! across a corner of the Male Academy,
| smashing it badly. Several of our large
. oaks were blown up, while the number
1 of the shade tress and smaller oaks that
| lie scattered in every direction is beyond
estimation. Numbers of stables and
j other out houses were destroyed. Yet,
;in the midst of it all, we ought to be
\ thankful that no person was injured se
| riously. How so many could escape un
! hurt is indeed wonderful. The storm
: confined itself to a very narrow strip,
not perhaps more than a half mile. It
came from a Southwesterdly direction.
One of our Western editors, speaking
of a largeand fat contemporary, remark
ed that if all flesh was grass, he must be ,
a load of hay.
“I suspect lam,” said the fat man,
“from the way the donkeys are nibbling :
at me.”

A gentleman had a bad memory ; a
friend, knowing this, lent him the same
book seven times over ; aud being asked
afterwards how he liked it, replied, “I
think it an admirable production, but
the author sometimes repeats the same

Ontonagon, the New State.—Two
names have been suggested for the new
State to be erected from parts of Michi
gan and Northern Wisconsin—Superior
and Ontonagon. The latter is the more
popular, and has the advantage of be
ing aboriginal. Superior is a name that ;
might be applied to a colony iu New !
South Wales, as well as a new American
State. Ontonagon is an Indian word,
and is pronounced as if written, Onton
aw-gon.
An Engush*Trick.— It appears that,
after all, the famous Jenning or Jennens
estate in England is very much of a
‘ humbug. The Jennenses in England
have propagated the delusion, and
amassed large sums from guinea con
“ tributions for genealogical researches
and legal investigation, with the hope
e of establishing a claim to this fabulous
t estate.

Affairs in Washington.
Washington, April 12,1808.
The House adjourned at a few min
: utes after twelve o’clock, to enable the
■ ] members to attend the furneral of the
- i late Col. Benton. There was a large at
l tendance. The best possible feeling pre
-1 vailed, and not a little laughter was in
dulged by the honorables, who, for the
: most part, stood in groups in various
- parts of the hall, while others remained
• employed quietly at their desks.
Mr. Helpei, who was formerly a citi
zen of North Carolina, and is the au
, thor of an anti slavery work, called
| “ The Impending Crisis,” came in, and
approached the Hon. Burton Craige, of
that State, who was at his desk. The
J exact words of the conversation could
i not be ascertained ; but it is reported
(that Mr. Helper spoke to him concern
ing somethiug he bail said, or alleged
to have been said by Mr. Craige, affect
ing Iris character, applying the word
“ cowardly” to the latter gentleman.—
The colloquy was of an angry character
and soon led to blows, applied pretty
I industriously on each side.
The attention of members having
i been immediately directed to the scene, j
they pressed forward, and soon sepera
! ted the belligerents. Much excitement j
as is usual on such occasions, was appa- >
!rent, and it was a long time before it]
subsided.
Mr. Helper was taken in charge by;
' the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House, anil
handed over to a justice of the peace,
1 1 Mr. Arnold, / who required him to give
security for his appearance this afternoon
at four" o’clock, to answer to the Charge
of disorderly conduct in the Hall of the
House.
On the person cf Helper a knife and a
pistol were found.
Murder Most Foul.
j Mr. Jas. Orr, a highly respected citi
] zen of this county, residing about 10
miles south east of this place, was mur
| dered on Thursday morning last, before
jday, under the following circumstances.
Someone went to Mr. Orr’s residence
j | about two o’clock and called him upfrom
i his bed; upon going out to see who it was
l he wasshot dead within a fewsteps of his
l door. He was hit with four large balls,
. one passed through his arm, and three
j entered his breast, two of which passed
: through the body and lodged against
s the skin of the back. It seems that he
; died instantly, for as soon as the report
of the gun was heard, his wife and some
of his negroes ran out and found him
j perfectly dead. The community was
e ! greatly shocked, as the victim was a
j peaceable, quiet citizen, and a kind, In
dulgent master. Suspicion reßts upon
| one of Mr. Orr’s own negroes, and a
, : white boy named Bayley, who was until
j lately in Mr. Orr's employ, and sent off 1
d for misconduct ; but as nothing very 1
definite has been brought to light, we re- 1
frain from saying more in relation to it
until the matter is legally investigated. 1

e JlPOx y g emated Bitters.—
1 The annexed statement of I’ror. A. A. Hayes, M.
t I}., Suite Assayer, is ample testimony of the
e scientific manner in which this medicine is com
t pounded, and rocommeuds it to professional
men : f
An opinion having been asked for of mo, in
consequence of the formula for preparing Oxy-
genatal Hitters being known to me, I express ,
the following in form :
The composition of these Bitters includes those J
medicinal substances which experienced physi- |
cians have long resorted to for special aetiou on ,
the system, when deranged by Fevers, Dys- ,
pepsia, Agues and General Debility, resulting i
from exposure or climate influence.
These are rendered permanent, and remain ,
active in this preparation, as acm sequence of
the scientific manner in which they are combined.
H was a well founded inference that the pre
paration used in smaller or larger doses, would
prove a valuable General Medicine, which ex
perience lias demonstrated.
In this medicine no metallic salts can be found
by tile most delicate chemical trials.
Respectfully, A. A. HAYES, M. !>.,
Assayer to the S.ate of Massachusetts.
