We received a visit from Mr. 8. H. r Crump, the Clerk of Council, who J brought with him the original papers i alluded to by “|D.” in Wednesday’s pa- l pers. He states that they were read, ‘ laid on the table, and never acted on , The report and resolutions, or similai ones, will no doubt be favorably acted on at the next meeting of Council. It is important that this matter should be i promptly attended to. Rose Cot Inge This favorite resort ot many of om citizens, situated at the lower end ol Telfair street, we understand, is well 1 patronized under the charge of Mr. W F. Smith, who seems to spare no pain, nor expense in catering to Ihe wants o< his customers. It is a delightful wall in the evening, and on arriving yoi are greeted with the fragrance of sweu flowers, of almost every variety. Shouli you feel disposed to take refreshments, you will find delicious Ice Creams,Straw berries, Cherries, Apricots and Cakes ii ’ abundance. Mr. Smith deserves a good patronage,and those who have not paid ' a visit to his garden should do so. Om word for it, they will come away well pieasod. — An inquest was held yesterday as ternoon over the body of the young woman, who drowned herself in the Sa vanuah Itiver on Tuesday last, am] tin jury brought in as their veriHct, “ that she came to her death bv jumping into the Savannah Itiver at this place, Tues day morning, from some unknown cause.” .«.

We would call the attention of those who find it difficult to keep cool this warm weather,to the Patent Ventilating Chair advertised in this day’s paper, an assortment of which can be seen at C. A. Platt & Co.'s Cabinet store. If all that is said of these chairs is true, it is a great invention, and affords great pleas ure ami comfort to those who take a Bock. The ventilator can be applied to any description or style of arm chair. Cheap I,lain.

In the report of the New York mar ket of the 7th, we find the following re marks upon wheat : The sales are 10,000 bush, at $1 for red Ohio, Si.OS for white Michigan ami Indiana, sl.lO for choice white South- , ern, and $1.60 for new crop Southern white, ttie first of tiie season, consigned to Messrs. Brown & Caldwell, from the i plantation of George Schley, near An- i gusta, Goo., the quality very prime. | Such a distinction in favor of Georgia I wheat is very flattering. RaUanal Discrimination. ' Complaints are general that railroads < do not benefit the communities that 1 contributed most directly and liberally ’ to their construction. A correspondent - of the Nashville Banner , for instance, i urges the following complaints against - file management and tendency of the Nashville and Chattanooga Road. It appears that the directory and 1 managers of this road have lost sight of < the interest of our city, our county, oi l our State, and are now discriminating I in their schedules of freight against all I of these interests, and in favor of tin. I interests of Cincinnati, Louisville, and I St. Louis. The freight on bacon, laid, 1 &c., to Macon, an interior town of Geor- i gia, of 80c per 100 cwt. from Nashville —it is only 50e. from Louisville, St. Louis and Cincinnati, pa-sing over this ( N. & C. Railroad. While the road - charges on bacon, lard, tobacco, rope, bagging, &e., shipped from Louisville, ■ Cincinnati, or St. Louis, 80e. per 100 < cwt. to Charleston or Savannah, it I charges on the same articles, shipped 1 from Nashville to the same places, SI 1 per lOOcwt., a discrimination of 20 per i per cent, against Nashville. So it j„ t with the other points named, and so 1 particular are they in enforcing this 1 rule, that onr own merchants, if they 1 wish to avail themselves of this advan- -' tage to ship from Si Louis, for instance, - through to Charleston, are compelled 1 to direct the goods to the care of the : railroad, and .there has been even doubts ' expressed whether a merchant of Nash- * ville is entitled to this advantage under c any circumstances or not. Some have been required to exhibit their hills of purchase and lulls of lading before they were permitted to ship in the schedule s of what is termed through freight. This t discrimination against the interest of f Tennessee by a corporation which has t its being, living and existence by the ( hands and at the expense of the people r of Tennessee, is indeed equalled in its ( ingratitude«only by the Fabled Adder, s and the farmers who are being taxed ' annually to pay the county subscription , to this road, should demand an explana- I tiod of the directory, and know why it i is that their interest is thus treated. l A Haul Jinn to Buy, Gen: Amasn Cobb, member of the Senate from lowa county in 1866, seems 1 to have proved about the hardest cus- ’ tomer that the La Crosse Company at- ' tempted to “propitiate” by a “pecu- ’ niary compliment.” It appears from 1 the testimony before the investigating 1 Committee that William Pitt Dewey was 1 sent by Kilbourn to labor with Gen. I Cobh. Mr. Dewey, after urging the sub- 1 ject for a time, remarked. 1 “They (the La Crosse C 0.,) are bound ' to carry it through, anyhow, and you 1 might as well make something out of it ! as theuest of them.” I Gen. Cobh—“What is the amount of 1 the capital stock of the Company ?” 1 Dewey—“ Ten Millions.” Gen. Cobb (in his quiet, slow, delihe- 1 rate manner}—“Well, you cau say to ' Mr. Byron Kilbourn that if he would 1 multiply the capital stock of the Com pany by the number of leaves in the 1 ■Capitol Park, and give me that amount in money, and then have himself, Kil bourn, Moses Strong and Mitchell blacked and give me a clear title to them as ser vants for life, I would take the matter under consideration.— Madison Journal. *.«.. A Railroad Train in a Flood. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, traveling during the recent flood on the Ohio and Mississippi Rail Road, says: "On crossing the bridge of the Ohii md Mississippi Railroad, at Vincennes, the traveller westward witnesses anovel -ight in railroading. Before him is a lake (the Wabash valley overflowed) •vet-six miles wide, and longer than die eye can reach. Across this sea tin rain runs on a tressel work tlrat stick.- iui just four inches above the top of the vater. Nothing is seen on this broad ■urface save these two iron rails, arounn vliich the waters eddy and whirl, and lash madly against the slender frame, which seems to tremble under theii nrce. Ail over the lake are whirling ddies, carrying big trees and drift ,-uuikl and round. These soon tnaki your head swim, and you feel that tin -.ressel work is certainly moving; the inttom seems to be undermined and is moving, while the top is tipping ovei igainst the current, and you expect every moment to hear the splash of the whole train going down into the sea.— dut it don’t go, and there is no dayger. frightful as it looks. "But now we come to a place that really seems fearful. We are in tin middle of the lake. It is just twilight Vlniost out of sight of land—nothing hilt a waste of waters on every side ol (hat long, solitary railway train ; wt leave the straight line, and go curving southward likea snake’s tr ick. Why . Simply because the flood has carried the tressel work away from its straight course, and left it in a zig-zag line, (and half upset, at that) some distance be low where it originally stood. "So badly upset was this tressel work, that in some places the rail on one side was two feet lower than on the ether, and it seemed as though it only wanted the weight of the train to throw it en tirely dmvn. The lower rail had, how ever. been taken up, and timbers placed on that side, to bring it up as high, and in some eases a little higher than the other, so as to tiirow most of the weight on the upper side. It was also braced up and stayed as well as could he done in tiie present state of the flood. On this half overturned, rnckerTand tottlinh looking trestle work, our train crept cautiously along. A railroad train out at sea, with iron enough about it to anchor it safely at the bottom, and creeping along on a shaky trestle work, anrl the engineer is afraid to jar, for fear lie may jar it down. Workmen are busy now in bracing up and strength ening this part of the road, and before my letter reaches you it will no doubt be perfectly safe.” To Prevent Convulsions. The following curious mode for pre venting a convulsion. commonly called . "afit." we find in the last number of , the Charleston Medical Journal and Re- ; view, in a long article on tiie treatment of Epilepsy, by Wm. M. Cornell, M. D., of Boston. If it is successful, ail should know it. as its value is of great impor- 1 tance: “1 have employed various means to ward off an epileptic attack for the time ' being. Stretching the muscles powerfully will generally prevent an attack; foi 1 example, when the mint commences in the great toe, or in the leg, strong trae- ; tiou, or elongating the toe, or stretch ing the muscles of the leg, will carry the patient over the thrertened attack for the time ; or, when the patient has premonitory symptoms of an attack, opening the jaws widely as can he done, 1 and placing some hard substance he tween the teeth, to keep the mouth 1 open, well have the desired effect. I have had one patient who, by my ad vice, carried a piece of iron with him for a year, fitted for the purpose of expand ing the jaws to their utmost capacity, and keeping them thus expanded.— When ho has felt what he calls the ' “little spasms,” which have usually been the precursors of the grertones, or of the "fits,” he has immediately drawn from his pocket the iron wedge, opened . his mouth to its utmost width, and placed the wedge between his teeth.— He then becomes quiet, goes about his business, or gives himself no furthei trouble about the convulsion, and has none. | Tub Atlantic Telegraph.—A special i despatch to the Baltimore Sim, dated Monday, at Washington, says : | Recent developments have been made- i in reference to the Atlantic telegraph enterprise, whereby it has transpired | that the company has changed its char ter and virtually handed tiie line ovei , lo the control of the British Govern ment. ’lbis has caused the judiciary committee in Congress Jo frame a bill , recommending that inasmuch as these movements have been perfected without ( the sanction of the United States, and since the appropriation of $70,000 pm , annum by this Government, ttiey are i therefore unjust to the United States a> a partner to the enterprise. The com mittee recommends that the appropria ' tion be withdrawn and the partnership i dissolved. ». , Rain Showers. We had copious and most acceptable showers in this city and its vicinity yes * terday morning and in the course of thi 1 forenoon, the weather clearing off beau tifully in the afternoon and until a bom dusk, when we were again visited by several, which were so suggestive as to , call forih from a friend, who had taken i shelter in our office, the expression, that "we aie having our April showers in i June.” We learn from Aiken that t there were bountiful showers in that neighborhood on Tuesday. —Charlesuon I Courier, HN/i tnst. i An Important Secret well Kept. A woman can keep a secret. We never doubted it, and now it has been demonstrated out in Schuyler county, Illinois, says the Mobile Advertiser, where an elderly couple in the vicinity of Rushville had a young and beautiful daughter—an only child—upon whom they lavished all their affections. Two years ago a young man applied to them for work, and they employed him. His amiable qualities and industry' soon won their confidence. He had been in their employ six months, when the farmer, having business in Beardstown, sent the young man there to attend to it, and as tiie daughter ha-1 some purchases to make, she was allowed to go with him. At night they returned. Affairs went on for eighteen months, the only' change being the pleasure with which the old people discovered that the young folks were duily becoming attached to each other, and they looked forward to their marriage as a result most gratifying.— Being considered as ‘’lovers,” the young people were allowed to “sit up” togetli j er after the old folks had retired ; but one night, two weeks ago, thi old gen tleman feeling unwell, rose up, and not tin ding his daughter in her own bed, where she ought to have been, looked elsewhere, and found her where he thought she ought not to have been, vluch noise and confusion ensued. Next lay the farmer posted full speed to! Beardstown, had an interview with the keeper of the county records, and dis covered that the aforesaid young man md woman had been legally joined in marriage for eighteen months, and she iiad never told any person of the fact! « Shocking Cruelty to a Child by a Lunatic. A lunatic in Carthage, near Roches ter, New York, enticed a little boy. ■our years old, across the street to the louse where he was. As the little fel ow attempted to enter the door the irazy man closed it, catching the fingers if the child between the door and the easing. The brute, deaf to the shrieks if the sufferer, pressed the door tightly together and bolted it. He then raised the window, put his head out to look at the child and exult over the misery he had caused A man who happened to ie passing heard theories of the child iii'i quickly ran to the rescue. He found the hoy in thepositiou described, md the fiend, who had placed him 'here, with his head out at the window, 'rirming like a demon, and occasional ly exclaiming, ”1 have got you fast low !” The man was not long in bur t u- open the door and getting the •liild’s hand from the vice in which it was held. The fingers of the hoy were crushed, 'ones and all, us flat as paper, and the ries of the little sufferer were heart rending to the hearers. Alter re lieving the child’s fingers the door was dosed, and it was found that it shut so tightly that it left scarcely room to insert the thin blade of a knife. — Technical Wouls. In reading we frequently come across words with which we are unacquainted, md which are necessary to give us a full idea of the subject. To obviate this difficulty, we give a definition of the more common words: A Firkin of blitter . . . 56 pounds. A Sack of Coals .... 224 ‘ ‘ A Truss of Straw ... 36 “ A Stave of Hemp .... 32 “ A Sack of Flour . . 280 “ A Quintal 100 “ A Piggot of c terd . . .120 “ A Truss of Hav .... 66 “ A Bash . . ‘ 80 bushel. A Kilderkin 18gallons. A Barrel 36 “ A Hogshead 54 “ A Puncheon 84 “ English prices current often speak of tiie price of wheat per quarter—to re dace this to barrels, multiply the price by seven, and divide by twelve, and it will lie the price, at the same rate, by the barrel. Thus : If wheat is quoted at 565 ; per quarter, multiply 56 by 7, and divide by 12, and it gives the price, J2s. Bd. a barrel. Scene on the Ohio. Our boat stopped to take in wood. On the shore, amongst a crowd, was a re-J markably stupid looking fellow, with his hands in his pockets, and his under lip hanging down. A dandy, ripe for a I scrape, tipped nods and winks all about,! saying: " Now I’ll have some fun. I’ll! frighten the green horn.” He jumped ashore with a drawn bowie kuife, and brandishing it in the face of tiie “green | Tin,” exclaimed—“ Now I'll punish! you ; I have been looking, for yon a! week?” The fellow stared stupidly at! the assailant. He evidently had not sense enough to be scared—but as the j bowie knife came near to his face, one! of his huge fists suddenly vacated hisj pocket, and fell hard and heavy between j the dandy’s eyes, and the poor fellow was floundering in the Ohio! Greeny lumped on board our boat, put his hands in his pockets, and looked around— “ May he,” said he, “there's somebody else here that’s been looking for me a week?” Print It In Letters of Gold. A father whose son was addicted to some vicious propensities, hade the boy to drive a nail into a certain post when ever he committed a certain fault, and igreed that a nail should he drawn out whenever he corrected an error. In the course of time the post was completely tilled with nails. The youth became alarmed at the ex tent of his indiscretions, and set ibout reforming himself. One by one the nails were drawn out; the delighted rather commended him for his noble, self-denying heroism in freeing himself from his faults. “ They are all drawn out,” said the parent. The boy looked sad. and there was a whole volume of pratical wisdom in his ; sadness. With a heavy heart ae replied: “ True, father; but the scars are still| there." Parents who would have their chil-i dren grow sound and healthy charac ter must sow the seed at the fireside. —! Charitable associations can reform the j man, and perhaps, make a useful mem ber of society; but alas! the scars are there? The reformed drunkard, gam bler and thief, is only the wreck of the mau he once was ; he is covered with scars—dishonorable scars—which will iisfignre his character as long as he shall live.

For Dropsy, Plethora, or kindred Complaints, requiring an active purge, they are an excellent remedy. For Costiveness or Constipation, and as a Din ner Pill, they are agreeable and effectual. Fits, Suppr ssiou, Paralysis. Intlammat on, and even Deafness, and Partial Blindness, have been cured In the alterative action of these pills. Most of the pills in market contain Mercury, which, although a valuable remedy in skilful hands, is dangerous in a public pill, from the dreadful consequeu cs that frequently follow its incautious use These contain no mercury or mineral substauce whatever.
