The Latest Sensation In ' tw York. |
The panic and the late religious revi- ,
val have had their day in Gotham, and «
the sensation journals are actually suf- i
feringfor a hobby. In the absense of
any other means of gratifying the tastes
of the mercurial denizens of that me
tropolis, their columns contain minute
details of the training of two bruisers,
for a Prize Fight. The domicils of Bill
Morriszy, the English bully, and of the
“Benica Boy,” his competitor for the
championship, are described as minute
ly as if they were the homes of two
Princes, and all the details of their
course of training, are portrayed in the
minutest manner. They even describe
the exact nature of their diet, and the
way their hostlers (they call them train
ers) rub them down, in order to give
firmness to their flesh.
All this may be very gratifying to the
perverted tastes which these papers so
delight to gratify, and which they have
done much to create, but it is certainly
a very deplorable exhibition to refined
sensibilities, and our marvel is that
Mayor Tiemann, who has manifested
such a keen scent for moral delinquen
cies, does not pounce upon those prize
fighting blackguards, and send them to
Blackwell’s Island. If he has not the
power, a special session of the Legisla
ture should be called to give it him.—
But these shoulder-hitting gentry have
votes, and are, therefore, magnified into
marvelously proper men, and permitted
to amuse themselves at the expense of
public decency, and to disgrace human
ity by bloody and beastial exhibitions
which would shock and disgust even the
Hindoos. Alas, Mayor Tiemann, verily
dost thou strain at gnats, while camels
and divers other unclean beasts find
ready entrance through thy municipal
epigastrium.
Another Change of Schedule.
We observe, with pleasure, that the 1
regular passenger train on the Western i
& Atlantic Kailroad, which formerly left
for Chattanooga at noon, now leaves At
lanta at 10.15, A. M. This will expedite
the western mail two hours, and is to
that extent a movement in the right di
rection. But the principal mail, which
reaches Atlanta at 12 o'clock at night,
still lays over ten hours, and we re
spectfully submit, that some measure
should he taken to obviate this deten
tion. Ten hours is too long a stop at a
point as important as Atlanta. At pre
sent, many of the townsand villages on
the State Koad are deprived of com
mercial intelligence for a whole business
day after it reaches Atlanta, and our
merchants close their correspondence i
with that section at half past twelve, j
forcing them to write before the business ,
of the day is fairly opened.
We make these observations in no J
caviling spirit, toward the management ]
of the State Koad—our approval of its i
general details has been often repeated. |
But this is a great barrier to intercourse ,
with a section whose commercial rela- i
tions are intimate with this city and •
with the seaboard, and the State Koad (
is the only channel of communication. ]
With Savannah the breach in connection <
is still worse—the mail laying in At
lanta from 5 o'clock I'. M., until 10
o'clock next day. Why might not the
train leave Atlanta at twelve o'clock at
night, instead of twelve in the day, if
the single train is to be persisted in 1
We are surprised at the patience with
which the people of Upper Georgia, to
say nothing of the business public else
where, have submitted to a detention
which, to all appearance, is so unnecessary
and so manifestly grievous.

Painful Accident to Lieut. Gen. Scott
Gen. Scott had a very severe fall on
the stairs at Cozzens’ Hotel, West Point,
: last week. He was about attending a
dinner party given to him at Col. De
lafield's when the accident happened.
Having had a bullet through one shoul.
! der, and a sword thrust through the
other arm during his campaigns, he was
unable to break the force of the fall by
his arms, and his hack was severely in
jured. He cannot move without great
pain. He has been cupped and leeched,
aud, somewhat better, but suffers in
tensely. At his age, and with so pon
derous a frame, it is a serious affair to
have such a fall, and he is fortunate to
escape with his life.
In relation to the reported departure
of General Wm. Walker for Nicaragua,
the Nashville Daily News says :
“Gen. Wm. Walker.—lt has been
reported that this distinguished person
had left the United States for Panama.
The report was without foundation, as
James Walker, Esq., his father, received
a dispatch yesterday, dated at Louis
ville, 23d, stating that he is coming to
Nashville, byway of the Mammoth
Cave, and will probably arrive here on
Tuesday next, en route for Mobile.
ir The Charleston Courier, of yester-1
day, says : “A letter has been received
at this office from Hon. F. W. Pickens,
Minister to Russia, dated from St. Pe
tersburg, 28th August. Mr. Pickens,
and the Legation were well.”
Death of an Old Citizen,
Michael N. Clark, Esq., an old and
much respected citizen of Columbus,
died Saturday. He has resided in this
city since its first settlement and has
held positions in the county, which he
filled with credit. He was a Lieutenant
in the Cadet Riflemen commanded by
Capt. T. C. Evans in the Florida war in ]
1836, and bore himself as a soldier du-;
ring that campaign. He was buried by
the Masons, as he was a bright and shin
ing light in that fraternity.— Times, 27.

The Niagara and Ihe Negroes.
U. S, Steam Frigate Niagara. )
Off Charleston, Sep. 21, 1858. j
At 7 p. m., the steamtug Aid came j
alongside from the city with visitors, |
but as our orders were strictly to pro-1
hibit any one, except the niggers, from |!
coming on hoard, they were compelled
to return to the city with only an out- i 1
side view of our noble steamer. The I
niggers have arrived, and we are now
hoisting them on board. There are
about one hundred small children of
the age of ten or twelve. All the cov
ering they have on is a blanket, and as
they” come over the side they lay down
on the quarter deck, nearly in a state '
of nuditiy. They look very hard, I tell
tell you; the worst lot of niggers I ever ,
saw. I notice a great many of them ,
have sore eyes, and are very thin and
emaciated—they keep up a continual
chattering like so many monkeys. The
female portion are placed, as fast as
they come on board, aft of the mizzen j
mast, and secured, two of them have
children about a month old, that have |
not the slightest covering on them ;\
they all have provisions for a day,
which is placed in a small bag or an old
stocking, slung over their shoulder, a
knife and spoon, which, with a blanket,
constitute the whole of their traveling
equipage. The women have an addi
tion of two yards of calico wound around
them, which they look upon with as
much pride as a Fifth avenue belle would
upon a S3OO shawl. They seem to he
perfectly satisfied with what our good
Uncle is doing for them, and roll around
I the decks in their dirt and filth with all
i the seeming luxuriance that a hog en-
I joys in a gutter or puddle of water in a
; warm day.
We have also received one of the
crew of the brig Putnam, who is to go!
with us to look out for them, as he is j
better acquainted with their habits and
mode of living. He says they must all;
be kept on deck and not allowed to go j
below. In the morning at four o’clock
the niggers were all turned out andj
j compelled to wash themselves, prepara j
tory to their being fed, an operation j
which they are nowise inclined to do j
unless driven to it. We give them rice
• and molasses. They are fed in this |
( wa y ; divided into messes of ten each. ]
males and females separate, and placed
in two rooms fronting inward. A buck-1
et is placed before each mess, and their
food placed in it, and a sentinel placed
over each mess to keep them from play
ing hog. I was thinking, this morning,
that if an artist of one of the illustra
ted papers could only have taken a
sketch of this group of black animals,
it would have beateu all the swill milk
illustrations extant.
One of the negroes, a child six years
old, died last night. To day (21st)
three died. The weather is cool and
! piercing, with a northwest wind. Four
more lying on deck, half dead ; and it
is heart-rending to look at the poor
miserable creatures. At nine o'clock
| all hands were called to bury the dead.
They were sewed up iu the blanket
which they died in, with a 32 pound
shot at their head, and another at their
heels ; the captain read the burial ser
vice, and they were committed to the
deep. A steamer has just arrived along
side with provisions for the niggers;
we will take them in and he off for the
coast of Africa. I have ascertained
j there are six niggers on the sick list.—
We received fifty women, four died. —
i We have now a total on board of two
, hundred and seventy-one. We leave in
• about twenty minutes.
I. O. O. F.
I A correspondent of the Charleston
Courier, writing from Baltimore, last
week, says :
The principal attraction to us in Bal
timore was the annual meeting of the
R. W. Grand Lodge of the United States,
I. 0. O. F. The attendance was large—
every jurisdiction being represented—
thirty-nine Grand Lodges aud thirty
Grand Encampments.
The election of Grand Officers took
place this day, and resulted as follows :
P. G. M Samuel Craighead, of Ohio,
R. W. Grand Sire.
P. G. M, E. H. Fitzhugh, of Virginia,
R. W. Deputy Grand Sire.
P. G. M. James L. Ridgely, of Mary
land, R. W. Grand Secretary.
P. G M. Joshua Vansant, of Mary
land, K. W. Grand Treasurer.
Much business of importance has been
transacted, and there is yet much of im
portance to transact, which is now iu
, the hands of the respective committees j
and will be acted on in proper time. j
1 Great unanimity and good feeling has
, prevailed and will prevail ; the most
t exciting topic having passed with the
kindest and most fraternal feelings.—
Whatever difference of* opinion may
■ have arisen in the election of officers,
after the will of the majority was evi
[ dent, all personal feelings were merged
! in the cause of the common weal, and
i all went well, like a marriage bell.

Sinecure Places-
It will he recollected that the Union
some weeks ago characterized a large
proportion of the government clerks in
the city, as “ miserable scavengers,
who devote four or five hours of indo
lence at their desks,” and declared (hat
“it is a notorious fact that more than
half of the patronage of this govern
ment is bestowed upon such unworthy
atid untrustworthy men.”
As an instance of abuse of this kind,
i we state the following facts which have
been communicated to us, from such a
source as to leave no doubt of their cor
rectness in all material points.
We are informed that a near relative
of a distinguished Southern politician
has held a twelve hundred dollar clerk
ship in one of the Government Bureaus
| for nearly three years, during which
| time he has never done a single day’s
j work in his office, although he has drawn
j his one hundred dollars at the end of
every month. For about three months
last past, he has hired a substitute at
j sixty dollars per month ; butdnring all
| the residue of the time, he has received
• his salary regularly, without in any way
rendering the slightest equivalent there
for.— Washington Republic.

Trance Medicms Living Unhappy.—
A New York paper referring to the do
mestic difficulties of Mrs. Cora L. V.
Hatch, ihe “medium” and her husband,
says they have been shown a list of forty
trance speaking mediums, of both sexes,
which will soon be made public, who
have either separated from their hus
bands and wives, er are living in ex
treme unhappiness. The list includes
j most of the prominent speaking medi
j urns of the country. Some women
| have abandoned their husbands for
| other “affinities.” One who has figured
in the recent Free Love Corventionsis
set down as having abandoned two hus
bands, both of whom are living - and
one woman traded husbands with a sis
ter spiritualist. The male mediums are
represented as of the same sort.
Some moon struck individual has been
publishing a book of poems, an extra
ordinary specimen of "hifaiutin ” We
Bhall not annoy our readers with cita
tions or quotations from his verses, but
will give the following taste of his
| prose :
‘•As the diamond is the crystalline
ißevelator of theacromatic white light
! of Heaven, so is a perfect poem the crys
j talline revelation of the Divine Idea.—
| There is just the difference between a
■ pure poem and one that is not, that
there is between the spiritual concre
tion of a diamond, and the mere glaci
j ation of water into ice. For as the ir
j radiancy of a diamond depends upon
[ its diaphanous translucency, so does the
beauty of a poem upon its rythmical
| cystilization of the Divine Idea ”
I Can the translucency of individual
j ratiocination permeate the fixity of cor
! poreal intelligencies. and as a revelator,
j irradiate them with its incanuesceitt es
! fulgency ? Answer, oh, crystaline poet.

jTCuie of Diseased Liver.
—Ho.vksdalb Co., Penn., Jan. 10, 1850 Mr.
Sktu W. Fowlb—Sir : You are at liberty to use
the following statement for the benefit of the af
tlicted i , .
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the blink ot
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
commended for such complaints, but they ai
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
persuaded to try Widar's 'Balsam of Wild
Cherry, and by using four bottles I was restored
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. BsTBEy PEKRL ' i ‘
The above certificate was given in tlic pre
sence of Dr. A. Strong, ol Honesdale, who is well
known in Ills vicinity as a successful practitioner.

jit Cure the JLiver.—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 lIR. SANFORD’S INVIGORATOR, OR
LIVER REMEDY, that has performed cures al
most too great to believe, were it not for the un
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 baffles the skill of onr most eminent
s'anford has been for a longtime one of the
eminent physicians of New York, and it is said,
most of his cases were treated with the Invigo
rator with such invariable success that he has
been induced to offer it as a family medicine, and
let the world have the benefit of his discovery.
If those who are troubled with debility, hcad-
I ache, languor, or slow, lingering fever, will try
a bottle, we think they might save physicians
bills, and days, perhaps years, of Buffering.—
