Dinuicnmuet 1 1 handed in by eleven tl’-locjfc in the forenoon, in r r ler to appear the same day. The OrjKtslt of the Mississippi. A party of engineers have been mop ing experiments on the Mississippi, op posite Columbus, Ky., for the past six months, and having nearly concluded them at that point, are about to make similar ones opposite Cape Girardeau. A letter dated the 4th inst., addressed to the Cairo Gazette, says : The amount of sediment carried down the Mississippi is daily ascertained by the following method : Four beer quarts of water are taken from four pints in the river ; the water is filtered through filtering papers which have been previously weighed ; then the pa pers are dried and again weighed, and the difference in weight gives the amount of deposit, From the amount of sediment collected from a beer gal lon of water thus obtained, it is easy to •alculate the amount which passes down the river in a day. Capt. Pbillibrown says that the sediment which passes Columbus in one day would he sufficient to form a dam across the river, provided the water could remain motionless. — The last flood deposited from eight to fourteen inches of sediment tipon the Missouri side, which will, in some de gree, compensate for the great losses which the farmers of the river counties have sustained.

We copy from the Charleston Charier, of yesterday, the following interesting account of the way in which a prize tighter is trained forcoinhat. It is pub lished by the New York correspondent, *• Pink The prize fight between a couple of our city bruisers, which is soon to take place, attracts a great deal of attention from the fancy men and the sporting journals. Few persons are aware of the severe and intense training through which the champions have to go to pre pare for the battle. If it were not for the end, the means would justify many men for similar ambition, inasmuch as these “roughs,” in preparing to fight each other, are obliged to lead such lives as temperance societies and the water-cure establishments themselves scarcely demand. Thus, for instance, John Morrissey, one of the men in the coming prize fight, is “training” at a village near Troy in this State. An ar dent lover of the “sport,” and the edi tor of a journal devoted to such things, made a visit to the training ground to see how one of the champions was get ting along, and to report his condition. From his account I make an abstract of the modus operand! of preparing for a prize fight. John Morrissey leaves his home and family at Troy, and goes to a village near by, called Lansingburgh. He here puts himself under tile care of two ex perienced pugilists, whose duty it is to prepare him for the great event. The system of training adopted in Morris sey’s case, is one which no lover of phy sical prowess, to whatever purpose ap plied, can object. The programme for every day, is in this style. Morrissey rises at five o’clock in the morning, and after washing and sponging in cold wa ter, and undergoing a thorough rub bing, he dresses ami commences practis ing with the dumb bells and the weight machine. A f trr half an hour thus! spent, he, accompanied by one of his trainers, starts off on a four or live mile walk before breakfast. On his return, after being thoroughly rubbed, and having changed his clothes, he quietly awaits the hour of breakfast, 8 o'clock. He partakes of a cup of tea with the yolk of an egg beaten up in it, and a mutton chop without fat, at 9 o’clock he again starts on the long morning walk. During this pedestrian tout he occasion ally imbibes a glass of fine old ale, which he obtains at a house on the road. On such occasions he omits his glass of sherry at dinner. In these walks he changes his route nearly every day. After breakfast, a couple of hours or so, lie staits on another walk of some nine or ten miles, which he usually con cludes with a run. After being well rubbed down, he jumps into bed be tween the blankets, and remains there about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes, to facilitate the increased se cretion of perspiration arising from his prolonged walking exercise. Afteragain being well rubbed down, he changes his clothes, and commences “fighting the bag.” In this he uses a pair of dumb hells, and finishes off with his “ bnnch of fives,” the hands being protected by a-psir of leather gloves. He then takes a twenty minutes turn in practicing with a new and ingenious apparatus for raising heavy weights, and which is so constructed and arranged as to call into exercise and develope the muscles of the arms and shoulders, as well as of the chest, and bring them into every possible form of play. He then, atoae o'clock, takes a recess for dinner, along with which lie partakes of a small glass or two of the finest sherry wine. After dinner he rests an hour, and then again starts afresh in his pursuit of the acquisition of muscle, and the necessarily consequent reduction of obe sity and fat. On his return he again changes his clothing, and after being well rubbed down and resting a short time, he again exercises with the weight apparatus, stuffed hug. and dumb bells, diversified wilh set-tos with his trainer. | About eight o'clock he eats a light sup | per. After an interval of rest, he again (goes to some kind of exercise, most j usually that of rowing on the Hudson I River. After an hour or two thus spent, he is made to go to bed, rising, as afore said, early the next morning, to go through the same routine. ■‘She’s Rich.” ‘' You ought not speak so about her; she's rich !” "You must be mistaken—she always dresses so plainly. She would certain ly make more show if she were really rich. How do you know ?” “ I have been intimately acquainted wilh her family from infancy.” " Well! who would ever take her to be rich ? She goes to church in plain merino, and neither wears jewelry nor crinoline ! Do you know how much she is worth ? “No, not exactly, Thomas; but I know she is worth enough to be a prize to any of yon young fortune hunters, if you wero worthy of her ?” “Do you suppose she is worth twenty thousand ?” “ More.” “ f ifty thousand ?” “ More than that.” “ Yes, more than than a million—there is neestima tingher worth.” “ Are you in earnest Uncle John ?” “Surely I am.” ! “ Uncle John will you forgive me for ! speaking so slightly of her. I really begin to think she is beautiful. She must be mine ! Will you assist”— ! “ Stop! stop. She will never be yours.” j “ Why, uncle, is she engaged? I’ll | fight far her !” i “Don't take on so. She is not en igaged that I know of : but she would inot marry you, if you had millions.” “ Why, Uncle ?” | “To he plain witli you, Thomas, she ; has too much sense. She knows you in tend to marry a fortune, and she knows that you are in the habit of speaking lightly, if not contemptuously, of vir tue and religion.” “ But I’ll amend and join the church. " “ No, no ; save yon that trouble, if you have no higher motive. You would not succeed. Lest I may slightly de ceive you, Thomas, I will tell you part ly in what her wealth consists.” “ Do, uncle ; I am curious to know, if she can't he mine.” “ Well, then, in the first place die has health. That of itself were a fortune, in this age of grunting, pale, snuff dipping wives. Ton make fun at ruddy cheeks, you'll know better, by and by. “In the second place,she is ingenious industrious and frugal. Here is anoth ■ er fortune, for any worthy young man, rich or poor. She knows all about j kitchen and household matters, and is j not too proud to work. You are after a fortune, with a money spending ma chine attached. She is the fortune and j its ornament. j “In the third place, she is intelligent | and refined— well educated in the best j rudiments of our literature, eschews j novels and all the Preachy trash of the j day. reads her Bible, attends Sunday (■School as a teacher and pupil. Is that j enough ? Will you not give it up that she is rich indeed ?” “ Y 7 es ; but I thought she was rich Jin money, or something estimated by dollars and cents ?” “ Well, estimate her worth in dollars and cents, if you please and tell me the sum.” | “ 1 don't know that I can.” j “No ; I see your ardor is quite aba- I ted, since there is no money in iier pa jtrimony. But I have not told you all J yet, nor the the most material item in j this young lady’s fortune. She is am iable and sweet tempered. This many a poor man in the land would think an-! j other great fortune, if he only had a morsel of bread with it.” “Well, uncle, that is the extent of I this strange fortune which”— j “No; the most material item, one which gives a special value and beauty | to all her possessions, is the pearl of j great price. That is a guaranty of the" ! genuinenesss and safety of everything else. That will east its lustre upon her J own pathway, and that of those around her, as long as she lives.” Tlic Kvenl in F.uropi . As the sun rose on the fitlli day of Augnst, 1858, the chivalry and courtiers ! of France and England poured forth to ! celebrate the completion of the great I naval works at Cherbourg. These works j have been erected as a standing menace j to England, and the popular mind there i contemplated with little satisfaction the presence of England’s Queen at the re joicings over an event which might be |so inimical to Great Britain and the i freedom of her institutions. Every eye |wasturned towards Cherbourg, and eve j ry ear waited to catch the sound of the j booming cannon that was to hail the in auguration of the perpetual threat of France. At the same hour, unobserved and with unohstrusive silence, the na val heroes of America and England were hearing to land on either shore the ends of the electric chain that here after shall bind them together. The feasts at Cherbourg were in full progress when suddenly a flash with lightning speed carried through the United King dom, and bore over all France and Eu- j rope, the unexpected announcement : “The Atlantic Telegraph is succesfully laid.” To the revellers at Cherbourg it came like the writing on the wall to Belshazzar ; while to the people of Eng land it brought home to every bosom the tvelcotqp assurance that Cherbourg’s warlike menace is destroyed by the peaceful ptomise extended to them through the electric cable from the West.—-V.

He has tested the properties < of this clay and applied the same to the ! making of gas. He reports thatit gives ‘ 7 cubic feet of gas to the pound, while i coal gives hut 3-1-2 cubic feet to the j pound. The article is of the color of , clay, and otherwise looks like coal in , its pure state; it will burn like wax j when held in the flame of a match. It ] is said to be found in large deposits on \ the banks of navigable rivers in Brazil, j and the discoverer anticipates that it ' will be used by all gas companies in i Brazil, and become an article of expor- i tation. The Brazilian Government have i taken the matter under consideration. ■ Mr. Southworth has applied for a patent i for the privilege of making gas from l this material in Brazil, and it is thought j ( he will obtain it.

[communicated.] Public .Vlridliq; at Lincoln. At a public meeting held thin 20th | day of August, at Lincolnton, to take into consideration the outrages recently committed in this county. Col. L. La mar was called to the chair, and John Paschal requested to act as Secretary.— The object of the meeting was briefly' stated by B. B. Moore, Esq., all ofj which will appear in the report of thei committee. Ort motion of B. B. Moore,' Esq., a committee of twenty-four was appointed to report business for ] the meeting. B. B. Moore, H. I Wheat, D. Kinder, A. Hardy, E. J. j Lyon, J. W. Murray, W. Wood, Sr., W. I Powell, T. Tillery, I!. Henderson, J. Collars, H. Moncrief, W. Arnett, B. p. [O’Neal, 0. R. Strother, H. J. Lang, J. I Fergcrson, B. Tankersly, J. L. Wilkes, J. Sims and J. Ashmore werre appoint-j ed that committee. The said commit tee, after retiring, made the following report : The committee appointed to report I matter for tire consideration of the! meeting, beg leave to report the follow ing preamble and resolutions : Your Committee would, in the first ! instance, allude briefly to the tragedies' which have heretofore occurred in the county of Lincoln, in which liuek Jeter! and his soqs, Ezekiel Jeter and Oliver! Jeter, have been .prominent actors. In the year 1850, in consequence of Dr. John S. Wightman having sued Buckj Jeter for a small medical account, vio lent threats against his life were utter-j ed by the said Buck Jeter and his sons! —the execution of whicn was partially ! accomplished, by Oliver Jeter inflicting a severe stab upon the body of said! Wightman, of which wound fie after-j ! wards, cantrary to the expectation of all, recovered. In the year 1852,! I whilst the said ’Wightman was riding I through the county on a professional vis jit to a patient, he received a dangerous ! pistol shot wound by the hands of Eze kiel Jeter, who had secreted himself in ambush, and laid in wait to execute bis! | hellish design, to take Dr. Wightman's; I life. From this severe wound, the Doc- j |tar. after along lingering, recovered j land there being no proof to inculpate! j Ezekiel Jeter, he was acquitted. Os the j guilt, however, of this dastardly act, ! the said Ezekiel has recently made full admissions. In consequence of these repeated, secret and desperate attacks jupon his life, Dr. Wightman, a useful sand influential citizen, deemed it pru ! dent for his safety to remove from the j county. In January of the present year, the j said Ezekiel,meeting with Alvin,a slave, the property of John Ferguson, of this county, actuated by the prominent trait ofhis character,an unrelenting thirst for human blood, inflicted a mortal wound upon the body of the said Alvin, of! which ho afterwards died. Previous to i his death, a warrant had been issued! and Ezekiel Jeter arrested,whenhcgave bail to appear at the next term of the! Superior Court, at which term the case j was continued by the State —and a de-! ntand for trial entered by the prisoner.! After the death of said Alvin, another j warrant was issued and executed by his! arrest, and on the same day made his j escape from the officer and guard. Since j that time various attempts have been made by the proper authorities to ar-j rest him. In consequence of his threats! and the well known fact that he was well armed and sufficiently desperate to! perpetrate his design of killing the ol' j ficer who would attempt to arrest him, I the whole community have been labor ing under groat fear and dread, not' knowing when his secret designs against' their persons or property would be put! into execution. Determined at last to! wipe away the foul stigma resting upon ; the citizens and officers of the county, the Sheriff, on Saturday, the 14th inst.. summoned a posse of eight men, and j proceeded to the house of Buck Jeter, ft is unnecessary for your committee to de- j tail all the circumstances occurring on ! that eventful day. Suffice it to say!, that after Ezekiel Jeter had levelled his j ; gun at the Sheriff, whose life was only ! spared by the flashing of the gun, and :' whilst James S. Heggie, Esq., was ex-j postulating with him and entreating! him to surrender, as they were deter- !; mined to arrest him, the said Ezekiel i ' deliberately fired at James S. Heggie, i - inflicting several shot-wounds in his left eye, hands and breast; and also in the left arm of L. C. Coleman,one of the' . posse. We further state that Mr. Heggie, * after partially recovering from his fall’,! returned Jeter’s tire, inflicting wounds ' upon him, of which he soon died. In view, then, of all the facts enumerated ! in this preamble, and well knowing! that Buck Jeter, the father, has been the instigator, not only of this last, but of all the tragedies herein enumerated, and that since the deatli of Ezekiel lie' - has made threats jagainst sundry citi zens of the county ; and knowing, too, - that he and his company have never; J made a threat which they have failed M in any instance, to execute to the letter! ’ - we, a large portion of the citizens of ; ° i Lincoln, in general raeeti led, j do hereby resolve— -Ist. That we justify the sheriff and bis posse, and particularly our fellow , citizen, JamesL. Heggie, Esq., in their actions upon the occasion alluded to. 2d. That we consider it best that we should not, at this time,take the execu tion ot the laws of our country in o our own hands, but we earnestly ad\ i • and request every citizen of the county,who has just cause, to institute prosecutions forthwith against Buck Jeter and Jere miah Jeter, before the Courts of the country to the full extent of the law ; and that we hereby pledge ourselves to aid in the prosecution of the violators of the law in every legal way and man : tier in our power. i __ Upon the suggestion of H J. Lang, Ksq , that the facts of the recent occur rence might be correctly known by the public, it was ordered that the proceed ing be sent to the Augusta papeis for j publication. Upon motion, the meeting adjourned. LaFayettr Lamar, Ch’mn. j J ll ox L. Paschal, Sec'y English Rejoicings over the Success of the Atlantic Telegraph.—lt will ! i»' seen liy our extracts from the files of English papers brought by the Arabia, that the successful laying of the Atlan tic cable has produced an effect in Eng land hardly infeiior to that produced ; here. Stolid as Englishmen proverbial : ly are, they were not proof against the excitement of this glorious news ; and it is doubtful whether the consolidation of their empire in India, or the attain ment of their objects in China, would iiave elicited more popular enthusiasm j than was manifested for this triumph of : skill and enterprise- The Times speaks i of if as having done more for the ; strengthening and perpetuity of the : British empire than was ever done therefor by the wisdom or power of the ; government. In two days the stock of | f1 ,(3 Atlantic Telegraph Company' rose in i Hie Liverpool market from £2OO per j £I,OOO share—the point to which it had fallen before the news of success arrived to £1,050; and it will, no doubt, go on rising till it is quoted at a much ; higher figure.
