A negro belonging to a gentleman of Cass county in this State, runaway nixed two years ago, and nothing had been heard of him since. A few days ago he came back to his matter's house, much to the latter's surprise, looking fat and sleek. He was warmly welcomed, and ordered to the tield to take up ‘dehoc." He went, but not to work.

The Hughes Printing Telegraph and the Atlantic Cable. We understand (says the New York Rxpren) that private letter's are in town from members of the Atlantic Telegrapl Co., London, representing the successes of the American Printing Telegraph in struments of Prof. Hughes in working through three thousand miles of cable a; satisfactory iu the highest degree and it is the more creditable to Prof. Hughes as all other electricians and sys tems of telegraphing have utterly failed to transmit intelligenccreliably through the extent of cable, notwithstanding they have had a whole year for making experiments, and have expended foi the company over a hundred thousand dollars. The astonishing performances of this wonderful invention leaves n. room to doubt but that, in the language of the London Times, it will speedily su percede all other systems and create at entiie revolution in the telegraph liusi ness of the world. Commerce of New York. It appears from the Journal of Com meree that the total foreign imports at New York in May were $7,250,552 less than for May, 1857, and $6,956,409 les than for May, 1850. The total foreign imports for the last eleven months is $161,356,894, against 210,845,071 for the same time last year. The duties paid at the custom-house show a de crease in the receipts during the eleven months of tbe current fiscal year of $15,844,831 03. Included in the re ceipts, are $2,008,517 24 in treasury notes. The total exports from New York since January Ist, is about ten millions less than for the corresponding five months of last year. Os this de creaso upwards of two millions consist in specie. Currency for Taxes, We have authority for saying, (says the Savannah Republican, of th‘eßth,)that no bills on the suspended banks of South Carolina or other States will be received at the Treasury in payment of taxes.— We presume the matter is fully under stood by the Collectors throughout the State, and that they are governing themselves accordingly. The general Treasury order is to take no money that is not bankable in Savannah and Augusta, as most of the interest on the State bonds, &c., is payable in those cities, and no instructions have recent ly been issued to the contrary. Thalberg’g Concerts. Thalberg and Vieuxtemps have been drawing crowdedaudiences iu Nashville. They were to give their last Concert in that city, on the evening of the sth inst.' They will make their next appearance - in St. Louis. Heo. M. Thatcher, Danish consul at Boston, did on the 2d inst. No War with England. The Herald, alluding to the recent pa triotic explosions in the Senate; says : “There will lie no war with England this time. Every man who remembers tbe terrible epoch of “fifty-four forty or fight,” can have no doubt on the subject. 'The views of Mr. Mason, Chairman on Foreign Relations of the Senate, settle the question. He is con siderably behind Messrs. Seward, Doug las, Toombs, Hale mid Wilson ; but it is very likely that he knows more of tlie upshot of this war question than all these belligerent gentlemen put to gether. Let, then, nl! our frightened old fogies of the pcaco party take a cup of warm tea, go to bed, and make themselves perfectly easy. The war may be considered as having blown over.” Resumption In-tUj of the South Car othm Hanks. The suspended lktnks of this city (say* tbe Charleston Rremng Nefctot the Bth inst.) quietly resumed specie payments this morning. The notes of the suspended country Ranks are now ami will tie redeemed by their correspondent Rinks here, which makes the reeißuption general throughout the State. This wise ami anticipatory movement was at the instance of the Bank <>f the Saif 0 Sv/ih Carolina, the priT.ato Hank; promptly concurring. No pressure or ruu is anticipated. The quantity ct specie in the vaults o( »r Ranks never was so great, and tuon s daily expected. The circulation cl of Rank notes never was In pro vfliior. more limited, and tains: wanted or carreney will not return.

According to the New York and New Means papers, the Memphis and Char leston Rail Road will carry the Great Mail between Stevenson and Grand Junction, (at S2OO per mile,) and the mails for Arkansas, Northern Texas, &c., from Stevenson to Memphis. Ccek tor Hydrophobia.—A man was cured of Hydrophobia, in Italy, lately, by swallowing vinegar in mistake for a medical potion. A physician at Padua heard of this, and tried the remedy on a patient. He gave him a pint of vin egar in the morning, another at noon, aud a third at sunset, which cured him. ■ - —•■••• An arrangement went into effect on the Ht inst., between the Memphis and Charleston, and Nashville and Chatta nooga Rail Reads, by which the cars on tho former pass through to Chattanooga.

We find in the June number of the : Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, of I this city, a communication from Dr. D. i S. Chase, giving some of the results of the recent experiments in the use of electricity, in extracting teeth. ; Thp eJ!t( >r of the Sumter (Ga.) Repuh lican also describes the application of . the element as follows : i Extracting Teeth. —We witnessed r the other day the trial of a now process t extracting teeth by electricity, the operation of which causing no pain whatever. The trial was made by Drs. I Hornudy & Ford, at their dental office. ) It was certainly the most patisfactory • the kind we ever witnessed. A .. number of teeth were extracted from a young gentleman and lady of this place. 1 Ihe patients declared they received no pain, but experienced a numbing sensa tion about the tooth. This soothing is • produced by passing a current of elec tricity through the tooth at the time of » extracting. The patient grasps firmly i in his hand one pole from an electro , magnetic machine ; tbe other pole of the machine is attached to the forceps, and by this means a current of electrici ty is passed to the tooth, aud produces a 1 local anesthesia, and so avoids the use ■ chloroform or ether. The amount I of current is adjusted to suit each pa lient, so as not to produce an unpleasant sensation. •— Opcrntiona on th« (mini. Among the acts of Council, at thoir fast meeting, was a resolution authoris mg the Canal Company to draw oft’ the water below the upper lock, for thepur ooso of dredging out the mud that has H'cn accumulating for years. The work was commenced yesterday, and in i few hours the bottom was exposed. o were astounded when we read this action of Council, and especially so m view of the fact that its presiding >tfieer is a physician of reputation, and Another extensive practitioner of the >ame profession is a member of the board. We know nothing of what the books say on such matters, but common sense would seem to us to condemn the proceeding as extraordinary and dange rous to the health of the city. If the exposure of one mile of filthy mud on I the immediate outskirts of the city to the action of a summer sun is not delib erately courting yellow fever or some other malignant disease, especially in the immediate neighborhood of the work, erery theory of sickness is at fault and a humbug it should be stop ped, ami that immediately, by law. it .n no other wav -Simannah /feruWjAWi. S tk mtu. Rxuoiors IvriREST IJi Sa VANS* AIT.— rfce extraordinary religious revival that has swept over nearly the entire coun try during the last few months, for a ong time seemed inclined to pass by the good city of Savannah. Even up to this time its influence has, perhaps, beenlless seriously felt than in any oth er community of like population in the Cnion ; yet, the interest, though cir cumscribed, is real, and we trust effec tive in the promotion of the cause of ( genuine piety. Indeed, the gradual in- 1 duence of the “still, small voice” is more to be relied upon for permanent, 1 practical good than the noisy and fran tic demonstrations in which awakenings on this important subject are too apt to manifest themselves. To the credit of the present revival, generally, it may be said to be characterised by a re markable exemption from the excess to which we have alluded. g In this city, regular night service has i been held in the Methodist church for ibout six weeks and during that period i some forty accessions have been made c to the membership of that church. c The Young Men's Christian Associa- I tion have held regular morning prayer t meetings for about two months in the t Lecture Room of the Independent Pres- c byterian church. The congregation es f that church have also, for a greater 1 portion of the time, held nightly prayer t meetings at the same place, and some c twelve or fourteen have been added to t their membership. a There is also considerable interest in a the Babtist churches and the Lutheran v church, with what result wo have been e unable to learn. At tho last mentioned c church daily uniou prayer meetings are f being held the present week, the exer- \ cises commencing at 8 1-2 p. m.— lb. s i A Rumor. ( We understand that there is a rumor i afloat i n the country that Crockett now I in jail under sentence of death for the i erime of murder Jn this county, had ( made his escape, disguised as a female, ( and was now at large. Such a rumor is without any foundation whatever— I and our vigilant and energetic sheriff, i Love, is determined that there shall be ? no foundation for it. On the 18th of < the present month, he will doubtless ex- i piate his terrible crime on the scaffold. —Atlanta Intelligencer , Slh inst. Pcrtestiinnlgm. Francis Attinwall, of Yorkvillc, N. Y., and Janies Grifiin, of Boston, met on Wednesday, May 19, on the Union Course, L 1., to run a five mile match for SIOO aside. It was the first time , Unit either of the men had been hacked for any amount. Each had carefully trained for the event, and was brought to scratch in firstrate trim. Attinwall had the advantage in length, and, from style, was the favorite, and his friends backed him SIOO to SSO. Griffin is a ' compact, well made lad, and his friends were very sanguine as to the result,and readily took the odds. The race was easily won by Attinwall. His attitude aud bearing were erect and graceful i throughout, while his running .elicited 1 the admiration of all the spectators.— ' The whole distance wus run in 28 min- 1 utes and 35 seconds. - A Strange Story. i The Marksville (Avoyelles) Central i Organ, of the 29th ult., has the follow- i mg : i Some two nights since a death occur red in a certain portion of our parish which was brought about in a strange manner. . A gentleman living unhappi ly with his wife, some few months ago committed suicide. This so affected 1 her that she often of a morning declar ed the ghost of the deceased iiad haunt ed her during the night. Finally one day she affirmed the devil had api to her and after upbraiding 1 cared that hereafter wheu gh- ner, stated to eat or drink ' v would attempt would chok- ' «er food and water when*- - ner. And, strange to say . o o ,k "‘7 nourishment or /‘'V lk anythingshe was invariably cbo , ked. Thiscontined for twenty seven , , d . a >’ B ' wken she died from pure starva tion. These facts we have from a gen tleman of undoubted veracity. “ Later from Kansas. A digpatch from Leavenworth, dated ' 26th May, states that the Board of Com missioners appointed under the Act of , Congress of May 4th, was convened at Lecompton, May 24th. Present—J. W. Denver, Governor; Hugh L. Walsh, Secretary ; C. W. Babcock, President of Council; George W. Deshler, Speakar of the House, and Wm. Heir, District ' Attorney. The members of the Board were sworn in by Judge Cato. The Commissioners organized by electing ' Governor Denver, President, and Hugh | S. Walsh, Secretary. A committee of three was appointed by the Chair to prepare the programme for conducting the election provided for by the Kansas bill, to report at the next meeting, which was to take place on the 31st ult. On motion of E. W. Babcock, it was unanimously agreod that th» election ordered by the Act of Congress shall take place on the first Monday of Au gust next. Adjourned. Rumors were in circulation of a battle having taken place on the Southern border, between the Free State force and a party of Missourians, in which twenty one were killed and eleven wounded. The news was not consider ed authentic. The St. Louis Republican of the 28th ultimo says that a petition had been re ceived by the Governor from the citi zens of Bates and Cass counties, Mis souri, asking protection against Mont gomery’s banditti, who had invaded Missouri, and were committing robbe ries and outrages, and preparing for an extensive foray into the State. The Leavenworth correspondent of the same paper says that the outlaws had burned the town of Butler, Kansas. Commodore Paul ding and the Jfavy Department. The correspondence between Commo dore Paulding, while in command of the Homo Squadron, and the Depart ment, in connection with the Walker expedition, has been transmitted to the Senate, in compliance with a resolution of that body. Nearly all the papers embraced in this correspondence have already been laid before tho public.— , Among them, however, says tho Union, we notice two papers, numbered 13 anil , 14, which we give below. The Secreta ry of the Navy states that tho first was , the only communication addressed to! Commodore Paulding which wassubse- ■ queatly withdrawn. This was done 1 lest the order for tho detachment of ' Commodore Paulding might be misun-j f derstood. The second letter was sub-! mitted therefor, that the true reason for! detaching him might appear from the! correspondence ; Navy Dkfartmest, Feb. 18, 1858. i 1 Sib : You are hereby detached from J the command of the Home Squadron, : and leave of absence is granted to you : for three months, at the expiration ofj i which you will report to this depart- s ment.

Au astronomical writer thus describes some of the wonders of tho heavens, now visible: “ That ruddy luminary now visible in the Southern section of the heavens every fair evening—that red cornelian of the sky—is the veritable planet Mars. He is not far, in apparent position, from the constellation of Scorpia. His dis tance from us, as he completes his cir cuit every twenty-two months, varies from about two hundred and forty mil lion miles to fifty millions. This varia tion in distauce occasions, of course, a diversity in his apparent size. When nearest to us, he appears somewhat ns at present—large, glowing, brilliant, and some twenty-five times larger than when farthest from us. At his remote extreme, ho is hardly noticeable as an ordinary star. His diameter is about four thousand two hundred miles. He presents to the good telescopic eye, spots on his full-orbed surface, which have declared the fact and the period of his axial rotation. His orbital speed is about fifty five thousand miles an hour. He was in opposition to the sun nearly three weeks since. Mars is an object now worthy of more than a mere cursory glance. Give him an attentive look; and af ter having satisfied your eyes with his rubric rays, turn towards the West, and view tho silvery Venus, now in her crescent phase. These two planets are sometimes in conjunction; and, per haps thence arose tho fable of antiquity respecting the rude conduct of the fiery god Mars and the beautiful goddess Venus, *.*.■.

KLAXONS why the Grover & Baker Machine ia universally preferred for family sewing: 1. It ia more simple and easier kopt in order than any other Machine. ‘AI. It makes a seam which will not rip or ravel, though every third stitch is cut. 3d. It sews from two ordiuarv spools, aud thus all trouble of winding thread is avoided, whilo the same machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a merit change o/sjtool , to all varieties of work. 4th. The same machine runs silk, linen thread, and common spool cottou with equal facility. 6th. The seam is as elastic as the most elastic fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break in washing, ironing, or otherwise. 6th. The stitch made by this machine is more boautifu! than any other made, either by hand or machine. Merchants can secure the sales of these Ma chines in their different localities, with profit to themselves and their customers, bv applying to the undersigned, owners of the Right for Georgia. These machines are always ou exhibition at - their Sales Room, on Broad street. nty* THOS. P. STOVALL & CO. ftrstg’s Column. hersiys THE PLACE FOR GOOD BARGAINS. The Cheap i furwishiimg" STORE.
