(Stating j@isj>att|. AUGUSTA. GA: Wednesday Evening, Nay )40, 185 S. ir We thank Senator Toombs fori valuable public documents from Wash ington. 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. Ueorgla Items. The Savannah Georgian publishes a rumor that a band of Regulators in Florida, and along the Georgia line, have been taking the law into their own hands, and have hung some half dozen persons, for various offences, without judge or jury. Bank bills to the amount of $150,000 of the Manufacturers’ and Mechanics’ Bank, of Columbus, were burned on Monday. Mr. Wm. O'Halloran, formerly Book keeper at the Augusta Hotel, has taken the White Sulphur Springs. There are few watering places possessing more at tractions than this, in point of health fulness or facilities for enjoyment. A little daughter of David Ennis, of Girard, Ala., while in Columbus, last Saturday', overturned a vessel of starch just taken from the fire, and was so bail ly burned that she died the same night Among the patents issued for the 18th instant, we find John M. Hall, ol Warren ton, improvement in plows. It is stated that the Southwestern Kail road will bo finished and in running order to Dawson, Ten ell county, by the latter part of the present month. A lato letter from Haynevillc, in Houston county, reports the crops in that section as being in a very promis ing condition. A fire occurred in Hawkinsville lasi week, destroying the tannery of J. H Wallace & Co. During the late revival in Athens 260 members were received into the differ ent Churches. The Baiuhridge Georgian says that the prospects for fine crops of corn and cot ton in that county are very flattering. The Sparta Georgian corrects an error made in a late issue of that paper, in reference to the appearance, of rust in the wheat crop of that county. It was merely a mold or mildew on the leaves somewhat similar to the genuine rust which always attacks the stalk. HP Mrs. Sophia Bonham, died in Edgefield on Tuesday the 18th inst., al the residence of her son, the Hon. W. S. Bonham. From Eastern Texas. The Eastern Texas Gazette of the 15th published in Jefferson, says : Large trains of wagons continue to arrive from ihe interior. There has al ready been enough machinery carried from this place the present season to stock a small State. The Harrison Flag of the 15th says : Health was never better. Theweath cr is summer-like. Crops only so so ; some of the planters complain and say they have been seriously damaged by the late floods of rain, while others oc cupying a moreelevated position are in clined to boast. • SIT The time between New Orleans and New York, via Memphis is four days and sixteen hours. 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 : A Card to the Public.—My atten ion has been called to a correspondenci ietweeu Mayor Tiemaun.

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 the railroad troubles at Erie, Penn.— Ibe people of Harbor Creek are indig nant at an attempt of the company to relay the track in the position it origi nally occupied. 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. ■ *«v- * —. —-— 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’.

Mr. Harris, Illinois, by request of the Committee of Elections, submitted the certificate of George L. Baker, which Gov. Medairy has discovered in the clerk’s office, while looking over the pa pers there. Also a letter from Gover nor Medairy and Joseph B. Brown one of the canvassers, saying that Messrs.

Mr. Harris Said the committeee under stood that they wore instructed to in quire simply into the prima facia right of Messrs. Phelps anil Kavanaugh, leav ing their seats open to contest. Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, wished to know which two of the three per sons elected they were to select.
