London Huui-terly Review,
Wo havo received the July number
American edition—which from its ta->
ble of contents we should pronounce i
an interesting one.
The Independent Pres*
Is the title of a new paper to be pub
lished weekly, at Stone Mountain, by
Newton F. Jones, Esq. Its motto is
"Equality in the Union, or Indepen
dence out of it.”
Mlt>«onrl Election*.
Official returns from all the counties
in the State, except six, show the com
plexion of the Legislature to be as foil*
lows:
House—Democrats 81; Opposition 41.
Senate—Democrats, 24; Opposition !). |
The remaining counties will probably
give the Opposition six and the
srats one. _
The Trans-Atlantic Mail.— The]
Washington Star says “ Since the rc- j
ceipt from Mr. Collins, of his last note, j
<to which we alluded at the time of its
reception,) the Postmaster General and.
Secretary of the Nary have heard noth-'
ing further as to what will be the course, (
of the Collins’ Steamship Company re-, i
specting the trans-Atlansic mail. ;
Whether that company will resume its
trips between New York and Liverpool
and avail itself of a contract founded
upon the act of Congress is, therefore,
still a matter of uncertainty. The Gov
ernment will not probably, under the
existing law at least, enter into any ne
gotiations based upon the change of
termini desired by the company, to wit:
Portland and Southampton.

Mr. Editor:— lt was my plivilege to I
attend a meeting of the Aiken Vine
Growers’ Association, held on yesterday.
The attendance was fair, the exhibition
of fruits, including apples, peaches,
plums, grapes, &c., was not large, but
as to size, quality, &c., I would suggest
to Georgia to look well to her laurels.
I send you a sample of Dr. McDonald’s
Purple Malaga Grape. T his is a foreign
Tariety, but by his system of manage
ment, in open air, he has brought it to
its present state of perfection.
The Society has appointed a commit
tee with power to prepare and have pub
lished a work on the cultivation of tire
Grape, suited to this latitude. This]
will be good news to the novices in the!
important enterprise of vine growing— ;
as all the books in our reach are cal
culated for a Northern meridian. It is
♦xpected that the work will appear ear
ly in October. D-
Healtli of Savannah.
Reports prejudicial to the interest of
Savannah, having been circulated in
the city and country, by parlies evident
ly wishing to injure the heretofore good
repute which she lias borne in regard to
health, we, a committee, appointed by
and from the Board of Health, have ex
amined thoroughly and assert that since
the year 1754 our city has not been vis- j
ited by any malignant or epidemic dis-,
ease of any kind, and that the reports j
are wholly without foundation, and!'
were maliciously ciiculated.
Savannah is, at this time, freer from 1
disease of every kind than we have 1
euer known her to be at this season of
the year, in proof of which we refer to <
our "Weekly Reports of Interments.” (
The public ’ abroad may rest assured <
that should sickness of an epidemic na- 1
ture make its appearance in our midst i
prompt information will be given of the j <
fact by the Board of Health and the i
press of the city.

Tuther Doubts about the New El Do- (
rad..
The Fraser Gold Fields have again; f
been pronounced a delusion. Accord- 1 {
ing to the New York Tribune, a mer- j
chant of that city who has been exten- ,
sively engaged in shipping goods to],
California, went out there some months |
ago to attend to his business affairs. On ,
his arrival he found that all the miners ,
of Greenwood Valley, whore he had aj j
brother residing, and many other places' t
in the neighborhood of Sacramento, ]
were clearing out for the New El Dora- (
do, on Fraser River. He, therefore, ,
concluded to proceed thither himself, (
and ascertain what chances there might j
be of making a good “spec” by send- ,
ing his goods to that region instead of;,
California. He now writes home, to ;
the effect that he "has seen the ele- i
phant, horns and all, and that it is the
greatest humbug ever got up.”
New Branch of Commerce. —The New
Orleans Picayune notices a hunter of
Alligators, who lias captured 400 in the
swamps near that city since May. He
goes into the swamps at night with a
pan of fire and shoots them as they
crowd around the light. The skins are
sold at 75 cents each, and make the ve-j
ry bestboots. The oil, tusks and hides of
these 400 captured animals have netted
the captor $560 in three months.

hung down like a houn's.an’ his cheeks
hung down like a ground squirril's jaws

tar off his whole sknlp— didn’t leaVe a

' but he got most on the net; his watch

an' all disappeared inter the hat, an’
then the hat struck thegroun' an' roll

Now, you had orter seed that pole an’

sumtimes the pole wer on one side of

a forked cart-tail, and betuck hisse’f to
the country, with nothin’ on but the

fur a hoss. I run through atween the

them steamboat cabins on wheels, (they
loves wheels,) what were a cummin’
outen a cross road, and thar we turn’d
our string ove umbrellers wrong side

Murder,
Many portions of the district were in
a high state of excitement during Mon
day and Tuesday last, in consequence of
the exaggerated rumors of murder,
bloodshed and outlawry generally, at
Tunnel Hill, that were in circulation.—
Wo have endeavored, without bias in
any way, to get a correct statement of
what acourred on the occasion referred
to, and submit the following :
First and foremost, witli the law on
their side and the utmost, vigilance,
the contractors have been unable to pre
vent the introduction of liquor, which,
with the concentration of six hundred
Irish laborers on the “ Hill,’ a row oc
casionally, with here and there a bloody
nose and bunged eye, is to be expected.
But this is more serious than a row, or
a bloody nose—it was a murder, and, if
the truth has been told us, it was an
inhuman, brutal murder ! But to eur
narrative.
On Sunday last, John Smith, recent
ly from Georgia, was on the “ Hill,"
drinking to excess. A difficulty occur
red (how we have not ascertained) be
tween him and one or more irishmen,
who were also drinking. Fire arms
were used freely, we understand. —
Smith, in endeavoring to escape, was
knocked down with a rock, killed by a
pistol shot, and his body afterwards
badly mangled. The provocation, if
any, must have been great to induce
such conduct. Warrants were issued
for the arrest of the guilty ones, and
those accessory to the crime, but they
could not be arrested. A messenger j
was despatched for the Sheriff, who |
summoned a posse, and, with his usual,
promptness, repaired to the scene of [
action. But the man who committed j
the murder had escaped. He succeeded ;
in arresting, however, some ten Irish-■
men, charged as accessories, and they
are now in jail.
An inquest was held over tire body of
Smith, and the jury returned, as their
verdict, that he was “wilfully killed by
some two or three Irishmen, aided by J
some ten erfifteeu others.”
The citizens on the “ H’ll ” complain, j
and very just])', too, no doubt, that
they, as well as the workmen, are
greatly annoyed, and often abused, by !
transient persons, who are worthless
and drunken, and who live, vampire!
like, by preying upon the ignorant and j
unsuspecting. Admitting this to be j
true, tlie citizens and contractors should,
nevertheless, see that the laws are
strictly enforced. The murderer of
Smith should not have been permitted
to escape.
On Tuesday, when the Sheriff left the
Tunnel, peace and order had been
measurably restored, the laborers hav
ing returned to their daily employment.

preserving the health of the city, which fam j
happy to say, is at this time unexceptionable, I j
call the attention of the people to the follow.ng j
clause of the Thirty-third Section of the General j
Ordinance :
<• it shall be the duty of all holders of lots or j
lands, whether the same be enclosed or uuen- j
closed, to keep them clean and dry. They shall j
permit no sink to contain water, but shall fill up ;
all low places on said lots or lauds, in such man- j
ner as to pass olf the water : and shall, every ;
day, except Sundays, remove from said lots or j
lands, all decayed and decaying vegetable and j
animal substances ; and in general, everything j
tending to corrupt the air, and place the same
(iu convenient heaps) opposite said lots or lands, j
between daylight and 9 o’clock in the morning.”
All occupants of houses having cellars under
them, will cause the same to be opened and ven
tilated daily.
I would recommend the free use of lime in all
parts of the city. B. CONLEY,

Die following statement for the benefit ol the af

I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink ol
the grave. During my sickness I was attended’
by three physicians in our place, but received .
uo help. I also tried the various remedies re-j
commended for such complaints, but theyaf-j
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was)
persuaded to try Wistars JSalsam of Wild j
Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored j
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
j as strictly true. Betsey Perrin.

(TTheGreatProblem
Solved I—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
,DTAL.—The dyspeptic patieut, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
iiife-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its solventpower, and the crude
I nutriment, whlcn was a load and a burthen to
| the sufferer, while bis digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, aillicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnatural condition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once cal ms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it arc unanimous In
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hards oi
medical men. 4 .
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid materia!
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pliarmacopla.
If long lile and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed ol
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to cither
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the a.ling
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
biiity or from the weakness of a single orgai
will all find immediate and permaneut roll, r from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond thureach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re
lercnce to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken, con
stitution

glTCure tlie Liver.—There is
an article selling throughout the country that
has attained the widest celebrity ever known as
a remedy for Liver Complaints. We have refer
ence to I)R. SANFORD’S IN VIGOR ATOR, OR
LIVER REMEDY, that has performed cures al
most too great to believe, were it not for the tin
doubted evidence that accompany the testimo
nials.. It is, in truth, the greatest remedy known
for Dyspepsia, Jaundice, or a general debility
that so often bailies tbc skill of pur most eminent
physicians.
Dr. Sanford has been for a longtime one of the
eminent physicians of New York, and it is said,
most of Ins cases were treated with the Invigo
rator with such invariable success that he has
been Induced to offer it as a family medicine, and
j let the world have the beuefit of his discovery.
• If those who are troubled with debility, head*
| ache, languor, or slow, lingering fever, will try
a bottle, we think they might save physicians’
! bills, and days, perhaps years, of suffering.—

(C Quack Nostrums.--The
! majority of hair washes, hair dyes, hair tonics,
■ hair oils, and the numberless preparations which
[ are now before the public under such extrava
gant. hyperbolical and fantastic tidies as we see
paraded in show-window cards, and newspaper
headings, as hair preparations, are all humbugs
of the first water ; their real merit, when they
possess any, Is, that they do no harm. Hog's
lard, whale oil, lard oil, sweet oil, scented and
colored, make up, when iu beautiful wrappers,
and white flint glass bottles, the costliest charac
ter or tonics, and when thus costly, are baptised
with some tri-syllable term, and caught at by
verdant young and old of both sexes. Such is
not the character ol PROFESSOR WOOD'S nAIR
RESTORATIVE. This gentleman comes before
the world wit! out any “high falutin” Xilophlo
foriutn, or any other astounding and startling
catch penny term : he simply advertises a Hair
Restorative —what it expresses, precisely—and
as a Restorative it acts. Buy Prof. Wood s Hair
Restorative, and as you value your scalp, aye,
your very brains, .apply nothing else : for it may
be that you will get some worse substance than
perfumed lard oil on your cranium. Remember,
