The Shall Question.
Just now, the Alabama shad question
seems to be engrossing considerable at
tention Mr. Gesner, of Millegeville.
has recently deposited 1,300 “seedling
shad,” from one to two or three inches
in length, in a small stream, known as
Conley's Mill Creek, a few miles from
Montgomery.
It is believed that the reason why
shad are not found in the Alabama riv
era is, that they will not pass the Gull
stream, whose temperature is from 801<
90 degrees, and sufficient to kill them
It is believed, however, that the stream*
of the interior of Alabama are so nea,
the temperature of their native waters
that they will live au-i thrive in them
The experiment has been managed wit I
great care, several hundred pounds oi
ice being used to keep the water in the
tank in which they were removed, of
the temperature of their native ocean.
A full report of the whole plan, with
that of several previous attempts, may
be found in the Soil of the South, pub
lished at Montgomery.
Russia.
Russia is perhaps improving more rn
pidly in education, the arts, andingrea
commercial enterprises, than ,any corn
try on the map, except the Unite*
States. New railways are being con
structed, to facilitate intercourse. Rail
ways are building from the Caspian t,
the Black Sea, both for peace and war
The commerce along the Volga, is be
ing improved-. Easier access to the
mineral wealth of the Ural Mountains
has been established. Very soon theie
will be railway communication through
Siberia to Irkusk on Lake Baikal, and
to the Arnoor river, so that foreign pi -
ducts will thus be carried both Iron
the Baltic and Pacific into the veiy
heart of Siberia. The greatest atten
tion is also being devoted to her agt i
cultural interests, and all that is need
ed, to secure for that vast Empire i
magnificent future, is a modification o
its despotism.

The Sparta Georgian corrects an error
made in a late issue of that paper, in

merely a mold or mildew on the leaves
somewhat similar to the genuine rust
which always attacks the stalk.

The Lottery War.
The New York papers continue to
present items of the late sensation crea
ted in Georgia by the mission of Mr.
BrRNEY, the agent of Tikman.
It seems from the “ cards” that Ser
geant Birney made arrangements to
break up the “ Fort Gaines Lottery in
Savannah, managed by Anderson & Son. ’ ’
Now in the first place Anderson & Son
do not reside in Savannah ; in the se
eond place their lottery was not tho
Fort Gaines Lottery, and the third place
we learn that Anderson & Son some time
in April suspended business, and fourth,
ive learn from Mr. Anderson, now in
Augusta, that no attempt was made by
dirney to effect his charter. There
ire reasonable doubts about this vali
mt Sergeant having visited Savannah
at ail.
We yesterday intimated that the ap
pearance of Sergeant Birney was not ve
ry prepossessing. Here is what Mr.
•Vood, one of the firm of Swan & Co.,
ays of him :

Benjamin Wood.
New York, May 21, 1858.
We wish it understood that we are
not the champion of Lotteries ; of them
md the chances they offer for gain, let
every man be the judge. But when
men make themselves ridiculous, and
resort to imposture to injure enterprises
which our State has sanctioned, it may
not he amiss to give both sides a heal
ing. What we have said has been
entirely voluntary, and without the
knowledge of Swan & Co., or their
friends.
Sketches ot Lutller, by Carlyle.
A coarse,rugged, plebeian face it war
with great crags of cheek bones—a wild
amount of passionate energy and appe
tite ! But in his dark eyes were Hoods
of sorrow; and deepest melancholy,
sweetness, and mystery were all there.
Often did there seem to meet in Luther
the very opposite poles in man’s char
icter. He, for whom Riokter had said
that his words were half*battles ; he,
when he first began to preach, suffered
inheared agony. “ Oil. Dr. Staupitz,"
said he to the vicar-genkral of his order,
“ I cannot do it. I shall die in three
months. Indeed I cannot do it.”
Dr. Staupitz, a wise and considerate
nan, said upon this, “Well, sir, Martin,
f you must die, you must ; but remem
ber that they need good hands up yon
der too. So preach, man, preach, and
ihen live or die, as it happens. So Lu
ther preached and lived, and he became
indeed, one great whirlwind of energy,
to work without resting in this world,
.nd also, before he died, he wrote very
many books—books in which the true
nan— for in the midst of all they de
nounced and cursed, what touches of
■enderness lay. Look at the Table
Talk for example.
We see in it a little bird, having
alighted at sunset on the hough of the
pear tree that grew ill Luther s garden
Luther looked upon it and said: “That
little bird, how it covers its wings, and
will sleep there, so still and fearless,
though over it are the infinite starry
spaces, and the great blue depths of im
mensity. Yet it fears not—it isat home.
I'lie God that made it too, is there.’’—
t'he same gentle spirit of lyrical adrni
ration is in the other pass ages of his
nook. Coming home from Leipsic in
the autumn season, he breaks forth in- 1
to living wonder at tile fields of corn.— ;
-* How it stands there,’’ he says, “erect !
on the beautiful golden head with bread j
in it—the bread of man sent to him an
other year. ’ Such thoughts as these !
areas little windows, through which 1
we gaze into the interior of the depths
of Martin Luther's soul, and see visible
across its tempests and clouds, a whole
heaven of light and love. He might
have painted—he might have sung—
could have been beautiful like Raphael,
great like Michael Angelo.”
Cannon for the Russian Navy.— The
Washington Mates, of the 14th inst.,
nas the following:
The oeoretary of War lias authorized the
head of the Bureau of Ordnance to send to
New York an officer connected with the
Bureau for the purpose of testing the
guns which have just been oast for the
Russian vessel-of-war now building at
New York. The terms of the contract
for casting the cannon were that they
should he thoroughly tes ed by an ex
perienced government officer.
There is a prospect of a renewal pf

Southern Manufacture*.
The Philadelphia Ledger has an article
on the rapid increase of Southern manu
factures. It thinks that the people of
its section are not aware of the rapidity
of this progress. In the concluding
part of the article are the following re
flections :
“ The enlightened patriot, even if, as
a Northern man, he may think the in
terests of his own section injured by
these Southern factories, cannot but ob
serve their progress with gratification.
The mistake of the South has been to
confiue itself too entirely to agriculture.
Such a policy will, sooner or later, ex
haust any nation. It has been the
principal cause of the comparative de
cline of the older slave States, and it
will produce similar results in the new
nies, if persevered in, as soon as their
soils become also worn out. One of the
cardinal maxims of political economy is!
that the producer and consumer should
be brought as near together as possible, 1
for in this way the profits of middlej
men are saved, and the land enriched
by the refuse of the non-agricultural
population. Too much attention has
been devoted in some parts of the North
to manufactures, and too little to agri
culture, so that, in those places, the
wealthy balance has been destroyed. In
the South, on the contrary, manufac
tures have been too much neglected,
with a similar consequence. The well
wisher of his country, he who is for the
whole country, will rejoice to sec, in
>oth sections, tho harmony restored
between agriculture and manufactures. ’’

Consumption us a Luxury.
The “Scalpel” for April contains a
very interesting article on consump-j
ion, based upon a theory promulgated!
>y Dr. Washington. The substance of)
it amounts to this: that the food we
eat is first converted into albumen; that {
this albumen is conveyed by a vein, in
to which it is directly deposited, to the
right side of the heait; that it is thence!
ransferred at once to the lungs, where
it is converted by the air we breathe in
» blood; that if this air be insufficien
n quality or indifferent in quality, the
ilbumen. instead of turning into blood, j
onus tubercles, and these tutiercles are
he physical elements of consumption,
bat is. in few and plain words, the j
. hole of the neiv theory. Os course j
the remedy is a simple one—viz: plen-j
•V of good, fresh air. Nothing could be!
cheaper—nothing more satisfactory |
bit will it do ? We incline to answer)
in the affirmative. We have known
m re than one consumptive friend who,
if ter despairing of all help by means of!
nedicine, have effectually cured them!
lelvesby the most reckless exposure to
.very species of weather. Fresh air, j
we have reason to know, is one of the!
best medicaments in the whole cata
logue of human renovators. It has but
me fault—it's too economical. No-j
body likes to get well so inexpensively !
I'his may seem odd; but it is true
nevertheless. We take as much pride
in our sicknesses as wc do in any other
luxury ive possess, or fancy we can af
ford to indulge in; and poor human
nature, as Mrs. Bing says in the play,
“ cannot bear to have luxuries so cheap
as to be really vulgar.”— Sunday Times.
Our IVavy.
The Washington States is doing a
good service in bringing to the immed
iate attention of Congress and of the
country the deplorable condition of the
Navy of the United States,
According to that journal, thirty ef
fective ships of all classes compose the!
present navy of the United States ; these
are all in commission, and upon them
alone are ive co rely for protection
against insult.
Forty-two years ago, in 1816, with a
commerce of about 800,000 tons, the
United States had seventy-four vessels
in good and effective condition; in 1858,
with a commerce of 5,000,000 tons, we
have hut thirty ships of war in com
mission. This number might he in
creased to fifty, but at great expense
and delay.
the British Naval Register, October, j
1857. gives a list of the British Naval
effective force. That power had then,
steam gun-boats and steam vessels of
other classes 460; sailing vessels of all
classes, 382, making the total effective
force of the British Navy 842 vessels.
Os these 107 are engaged in what is
called “ harbor service,” leaving in ac
tive service seven hundred and thirty
five vessels of all classes. ■

A Man in a Tight Plate.
A thrilling affair occurred iu Ninth
avenue last Friday, owing to the fact
that a man had been entombed in the!
Croton water mains, which were being!
laid down in that avenue. The pipes, i
when laid, have to be caulked on the!
inside as well as the out side, before
they are cemented, in order to make
them perfectly tight. The two feet
mains in the Ninth avenue were laid
from both directions, and uptn thecon
necting pipe being put down, it was ne
cessary for a man to enter in order to
! ciulk them—the intention being to ex
j tricate him through the stop cock. The
work was completed, and the pipes sol
[ilered on the outside; after which the
j workmen proceeded to unscrew the stop
cock, but to their dismay discovered that
! they had no wrench sufficiently large to
; accomplish the work, and also that
! there was not a wrench in New York
. that would answer the purpose. In the)
mean time, the poor man ivas shut out
j from the world ill his narrow iron tomb
j compelled to lie down, and with a fair
prospect of suffocation. The laborers
i finally procured sledge-hammers, and by
• repeated battering, succeeded iu break
ing a hole through the thick iron pipe,
| and the entombed man once more joy
fully beheld the light of day.—A’. Y.

private Weddings In Churches.
Considerable indignation is felt in
some circles in Boston at the exclusion
of uninvited persons from marriage
service held in King’s Chapel Boston.
It is contended that a Christian church
should be open to all, and that if priva
cy is sought, weddings can be celebra
ted in a private house. In most plaoes
the custom is for the sexton, standing
at the door, to direct chance customers
to aside aisle, and invited persons to,
the centre of the house.

A CARD.
FROM
SAMUEL SWAN & CO.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE EXTRAORDINARY course pur
sued by the rival Managers of different
UHTERIKS to injure us because our libera:
schemes, and prompt ma* nor of doing business
has materially affected them, compels us to call
special attention to the facts, which all who deal
with us know already. That is : ihat our Lot
tcries are legal, the managers and trustees bon
ort and honorable men, that we have sold mon
prizes in the last twelve months than all other
Lotteries in the Union, and that they have been
promptly cashed in all cases, on presentation.
The effort to injure us is aimed not only at our
business by our rivals, but is also intended to
act politically on one of our partners: and we
assure our frieuds and the public that
WITH OUR CONCERN
.m.. mm. i n ■ & mm c „
and this, the legal Investigation which we shall
urge to a hearing, will fully demonstrate. In
the meantime, our business will be conducted
as usual. SAMUEL SWAN & CO.,

I)r. J. C. Ayer : Sir—l have been repeatedly
cured of the worst headache any body can have
by a dose or two of your Pills. It seems to
arise from a foul stomach, which they cleanse
at once. If they will cure others as they do me,
the fact is worth knowing.

Sir : I have used your Pills in my general and
hospital practice ever since yon made them, and
cannot hesitate to say they arc the best cat hut
tic we employ. Their regulating action ou the
liver is quick and decided, consequently they are
an admirable remedy for d range-: cuts oj th t
organ. Indeed, 1 have seldom found a case ol
bilious disease so obstinate that it did not readily
yield to them. Fraternally, yours,

Dr. Ayer : Your Pills are the perfection of
medicine. They have done my wife more gjod
than I can tell you. She had been sick and pin
ing away for months. Went off to be doctored
at great expense, but got no better. She then
commenced taking your pills, which soon cured
her, by expelling large quantiti es of worms
(dead) from her body. They afterwards cured
her and our two children of bloody dysentery,
One of our neighbors had it bad, and iny vile
cured him with two doses of your pills, while
:ot ers around us paid from live to twenty dol
lars doctors’ bills, and last much time, without
• eing cured ent rely even then. Such a medi
cine as yours, which is actually good and honest,
will be prized here.
