(ikning PisimftL ’ I 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 until the 10th day of May next for the issue of any portion, or the whole, of 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 Salt Lake City, issuing 4,000 copies eve 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. giT Graham's Magazine for May has been received, containing, as usual, a va riety of interesting matter. Among the appointments official ly announced at Washington, we notice the re-appointment of Chas. G, Wager, Esq., formerly of Charleston, as Register of the Land Office at Stillwater, Min nesota. Georgia Items. Two men, named Joses and Cobb have been arrested in Atlanta, on suspicion of committing the assault on Samuel Landrum, from which he died. A man named Robinson was sent to the penitentiary four years, by the Court in session this week in Atlanta. A vote was taken in Brunswick, last week, on the-question of authorizing the City Council to subscribe for $26,- 000 worth of the stock in the Bruns wick & Florida Railroad, and stood as follows: For subscription, : : : : 101 No“:: : : : 1 A New Post Office, called Midway, has been established in Jackson county, up on the river road leading from Athens to Jefferson, about 9 miles from the for-: mer place. John Kinney is Post Mas ter. rlt is said in Washington that George P. Morris, of New York, the amiable and accomplished poet and song writer, has been presented by nearly all the delegation of New York as a suita ble candidate for the Consulate at Lon don, England. The number of deaths within the city of Charleston for the week ending on Saturday, the 10th inst, was 17—4 of whites and 18 blacks and colored. The Republican learns that ahurrieane on the 27tli nit., demolished nearly ev ery house in Bentvillc, Arkansas, kill ing twenty-five persons, and wounding a great number. 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 vites delegates to come prepared to de liberate and report upon them, and to suggest appropriate action: 1. The question of master and slave involving the physical and religious i improvement of the slave ; the subject of slave laws and police ; the reclame- : tion of slave property taken away by fraud or force, and the modes of retali tory legislation. 2. The question of the supply of la bor at the South in its relation to the production and consumption of South ern commodities ; to the free blacks; to S the African fleet, and the action of Eng- ' land and France; in the introduction of Coolies and African Apprentices. 3. The effect of the tariff, banking, bounty and navigation system upon the South, and the reciprocal interests of the planter aud the merchant. 4. Tlie development of Southern ag ricultural industry, a proper enlarge ment of the manufacturing and com mercial ami internal improvement sys tems, and the subject of ocean steamers and marts. 5. The resources and self sustaining capacities of the slaveholding States, and the establishment and independence of her literary and education system, j 6. The political relations of the South under the Federal Constitution, and the foreign policy to be supported ; the maintainance and extension of her in stitutions within the limits of the Union and beyond them, and her means of defence and security from aggressions, present and prospective. 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.

The following are the words of the 1 bill for the importation of African la- 1 borers, which passed the Louisiana * House of Representatives, by a large * majority, and was indefinitely postponed in the Senate by a majority of two votes: AN AC T to grant the authority of the ] State of Louisiana for the importation - of Free Black Laborers within this 1 State. i Sec.

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. Counterfeit Bii.l.—AJbill of the de nomination of SlO was yesterday pre sented at the Branch Bank. It purports to be issued by the Bank of Hamburg. Its number was 986 —letter B, and signed . by J. S. Blackwood, Cashier; H Hul chinson, President. The date was Nov 8,1850, and the bill payable to Roberl Y. Hayne. Our friends should be or the look out.— Columbia Guardian. There was a slight fall of snow a Atlanta on Tuesday. 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.” — Mrs. Rugg, a widow, having taken Sir Charles Price for her second husband, . and being asked, by a friend, how she j liked the change, replied, “Oh, I have got rid of my Rugg for a good Price. —— 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 things.” —— 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. s i- Sales of Stocks. it Some fourteen Shares of the South it Western Rail Road and Bank Stock were sold yesterday, at auction, by Messrs ie Porcher & Baya, at sll7 1-4 per Share— ie and by J.

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 . —Ctayton (Ala.,) Beacon, lOdi insl. ie An auctioneer, vexed with his aud m iehce, said: “I am a mean fellow— ts | mean as dirt—and I feel at home in this ■company.” I w- j Forrest, the actor, is neither conver ts : ted nor about engaging in the liquor of ■ business.

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.
