doming Jlispatcl). GEO." Turilia) bulling, March 15, IK5#, Editorial Correspondence. Tallahassee, Fla. , March 11, ’59. At length—after many disappoint ments and delays by flood and field, I am safely anchored at the Planter's Ho Ael, in the metropolis of the land of flowers. I have not been out to see the town, and will write you more of it in my next. We had quite an exciting and not very agreeable journey from Quincy hither to-day. But having been detained there several days, no mail having reached or left the place since Monday, I determined, as I wrote you last night, to leave this morning, and trust to Providence and a “dug out” for transit here. With a Tallahasscan who had shared the deluge with me, at Quincy,(where we had first rate quarters at the Quincy House,) I chartered a hack to take us to the Okoloknee river, a distance of about 15 miles. We had ‘ proceeded hut a short distance when the windows of heaven were again opened, and it rained steadily until we reached the river, about 10 o’clock. — River, did I say ? It seemed to us like c an ocean; for as far as the eye could ' reach, through the piney woods, was a broad expanse of water. We soon * learned that the distance to dry kind on the opposite side was about one mlTb, j and that a horse would have to swim fully half the distance. This stumped * »our driver, who had orders not to swim 4 the horses. The only means of cross- 1 ing was in a rude boat, capable of carry- ' ing two or three persons. A gentle- f men named Dean had just managed to f get his buggy over upon it, and had re- 6 turned for his horse. He kindly proffer ed to take our trunks to the first farm- 1 house, provided he got his horse over f alive. The boat could not hold the ' hoise, and the only way of getting him 1 over was to let him swim. We sat down upon our trunks by the roadside, io wait the fate of the noble animal, and to canvass the prospects for getting on to town, provided we could get our luggage over. The rain “held up’’ a littlejust here, and we did not get as wet as we might have been. After waiting one hour, we beard the noise of the oars (or of the paddle) through the woods, and directly the rude boat hove in sight, and came rounding up to the shore like a vetern water-craft. I would like to describe the boatmen, but time forbids. The chief oarsman, was a shrivelled specimen of humanity named, or nicknamed “Dutch,” wheth er he had any other patromymic, I can not say, but he could have had none more appropriate. Old age or the fe ver and ague had shaken out all his teeth, save one or two snags, and the same causes had reduced his coat to a most buttonless and tattered condition. Some, stroke of fortune, or of inisfor- tune had deprived him of shoes, and his pants hung in strings about his knees to match the sleeves of his coat which garment had been of yellow homespun, and which was fastened around his waist with a piece of stick, while a hempen string filled the office of suspenders for his pants, which had been of substantial tow cloth. His venerable beard was unshaven, and looked like a piece of squirrel skin on a fence-rail of a frosty morning. But ‘ Dutch” was a vigorous “paddleman,” j *‘for a’ that,” and put us through thej turbid stream in safety, and with his * master, the steersman, received hearty thanks and a dollar from each of his passengers. I could not help wonder ing why these people have not provi ded themselves with a good strong flat boat, so as to take vehicles of all kinds over during such floods, which I learn occur every year. The river rises to an astonishing height, being about 30 feet above low water, and stays up for ten or twelve days so that for our timid Quincy friends who are waiting to come this way, there is a week of tribulation yet in store. But not to make tedious my narra tive of a most tedious day, suffice it, that after walking three miles in the mud to the house of Mr. Dean, who had kindly taken our heavy trunks into his buggy—he proffered us the use of the same conveyance to take them to Tallahassee. So we came on to town, adopting the old custom of ‘‘ride and tie”—and reached here about five o’clock, having signalized my advent into “the land of flowers,” with an ad venture, more properly belonging to the land of floods. The country from Quincy to this place is principally piney woods region, with irregular sections of good and poor lands. Much of the way it is quite level, until we reach the vicinity of Tallahassee, when, like Quincy, for sev eral miles around, it is a rolling coun try, with a mixed growth of oak, mag nolia, &c., and a soil of red-clay.— There are many excellent farms on the way, and the residences indicate a pop ulation of taste and refinement. A. Who Killed Cock itolilii. There is an animated discussion go ing on at present between the Wash ington papers as to whom belongs the guilt or the giory of killing the Post Office Appropriation Bill. The Union lays it to the House of Bepresentatives, j ; the Star says Senator Toombs of this ft ‘ a * e was the man that “struck Billt Pa. ttebsos," and the knowing letter writ ers 6a y if was killed by a point of etiqm between the House and Sen ate. Whoever did it, there is little use, in discui the matter now—the thing : is dead, a. n( i that > 8 enough, and the 1 people are n °f likely to hold its slayers So a very str. ,c t responsibility, as there were some clfu ,ses i n *t> which would j have been odious. As to ( the talk about stopping the postal scr- 1 vice of the county, that is all nonsense. ; He would D"! a daring President who would permit that to be done. [communicated.] Southern and Southeast Georgia. Mb. Editor This region, is at last, approaching a state To be appreciated, it must be known, and it lias not been known, because hereto fore, it was inaccessible. Now, and shortly hereafter, the Iron Horse will be snorting and tramping through these tall pines with such a commercial smell, as will drive beef cattle and beeswax, al most into the everglades, so rapidly will be the coming and going compared with the past. For speculation in lands, it now offers the only inducements in the State. — From the Chattahoochee, on the West to the Okeefenokec Swamp on the East, there are large tracts, of wild lands j awaiting the axe and plow, to reward ( the planter for his labor. Much of it ( once thought to be barren, is now known , to be fertile and is growing daily in im portance. If the people of Middle Georgia, would come here instead of going West : | the dollars dug from the clay lands of i the State, would he retained in place of enriching the regions beyond the Fath- 1 er of Rivers. Many Georgians go West, ' because they know no better. Like | some travelers to Europe from “the i States,” learning the geography of for- i eign countries, —never having known the strength and greatness of the land that gave them birth. For many years the wiregrass and whiteoak runners of this country, means poor land and star vation,but those years have passed away and trial of the land, and the crops gathered from the soil now refute the slander. The Main Trunk Rail Road is to be a blessing untold to this people. The State ought to help liberally in this work, and not by a species of parsimony unknown to the Democracy. Leave the homes of faithful fellows in this coun try, worse off than the members of the same family from Atlanta to the moun tains. Indeed (in passing) the “faith ful” of South Georgia beat any wing of the unterrified you ever heard of. Even the Blythe Island Swindle does not make them half so clamorous as one would suppose; seeing, as is belived, that all the profits went into one pock et. They eat the crumbs that fall, and are filled. What few Whigs, Americans, Know Nothings or oposition, as fancy may class them, that are here, never having had any hand in helping to rob Uncle Sam, or even the State crib, have no idea of how stealings feel, and by the necessity of the case may be supposed . honest in this particular. Still, you may venture the opinion, that.this long s course of observation, has learned (hem » how, if they only “had a chance” as v * our Ranse” used to say. It was not in tended to give a homiley on political - plunder,—the newspapers do that every 1 day. Negroes, perhaps the Wanderer’s Africans or others yet to follow, and money, will make this country blossome as the rase, and yield her increase mightily, for the comfort and prosperity of “the mean white man” party. Lands are rising ever} day and when the “ cars do come” fifty to one hundred per cent, will have to be paid, on pres ent prices. Many persons arc now wil ling to sell land, to buy slaves, or change land for negroes. Years ago, they came with stock and bought land from the upcountry people,with the proceeds of beef, hides, tallow and beeswax and by these means some have acquired very large bodies of land. If any one would inform himself of the resources this country possesses, let him come m April or May, and by his own conveyance. He should go any wheieand every where, —take no judg ment of land in any one place, by what one man may say. There are very few localities where land cannot be bought Many will sell because they can buy again, or have other lands on hand.— Some of the best plantations in Brooks and Lowndes and other counties, Can be had for these reasons. Almost every body, has from two to twenty times as much land, as they can work. Between a line run across the State upon the latitude of Hawkinsville and the Flo rida Line,there'lies goodland enough for 100,000 slaves to work profitably in Corn, Cotton, Bice, Tobacco and Lum ber. Perhaps while here or soon after I get back, I may tell you of other things I have learned down in the Piney Woods. Yours, Traveler. The State House in Boston was set on fire on Saturday afternoon, while the legislature was in session. No other damage was done, except smoking out the assembled wisdom of Massachusetts. The people in some parts of the val ley of ihe Mississippi are becoming alarmed at the continued rise of the river, and are anticipating another overflow. The Lousiana papers contain numerous warnings to planters to look to their lives, and meetings are held in various places to concert measures of protection in the present alarming state of affairs, An article in the Ldinburg Beview i gives some facts concerning the Library jof the British Museum. The number :of volumes is five hundred and sixty thousand, occupying forty miles of shelves. A catalogue yet incomplete, has reached the extent of two thousand folio volumes. This is the largest library in the world, except the Impe rial library of Paris, which comprises eight hundred thousand volumes. Crops In Texas. The Gonzales Inquirer of the sth inst says:—Corn is up generally through out our county. In our trip up the ' coutry, we saw several fields in which I >t was six or eight inches high and the stands goods. In some fields it was re j ceiving the first plowing. If we should have no more frost—and from all the indications it is not likely we will—the crops of every varity will be abundant and early. Everything presents a cheering prospect at present. Farther west we observed that the corn is not so forward as in this county. In many places it is not planted, and in i others the land is not even broken up. T his does not speak well for those far mers, especially when we remember that the seasons have been so propitious, and that it is all important in Western Texas that the crops should be in the ground as early as circumstances will admit of. - Death of Col. Joseph Bond. We learn by a letter received here by the train from Albany on Saturday night, that Col. Joseph Bond was killed on the morning of that day in the vi cinity of Albany, by Lucius Brown, an overseer employed by Mr. Jerry Beall. We understand from the same source 1 that the only white person who wit- ' nessed the melancholy transaction, ex cepting the parties themselves, was an overseer of George Walker’s, named 1 Sellers, whose statement is that Brown j was violently attacked by Col. Bond, and is otherwise favorable to the ac cused. The minor is that the difficulty ' arose from the fact that Brown had re- ' cently whipped a negro belonging to Col. Bond. Probably we have not yet ascertained the real state of the case. We have no time for comment. Col. 1 Bond- was one of our most esteemed citizens—a gentleman remarkable for his public spirit and private virtues— i widely known throughout the State— and universally respected wherever known. The news of this awful trage dy has produced a deep sensation of , horror in our community. —Macon Stale Press. Miramon. —Of the character of the 1 leader of the expedition against “libe ral” Vera Cruz, the Mexican correspon dent of the Picayune says : “ For Miramon’s character, I confess that I have an unspeakable admiration. He is acknowledged on all hands to be : the finest soldier in the Mexican army, and his brilliant overthrow of Vidaurri, stamps him as a man of ex cellent military genius. Mexico has never yet been ruled by a civilian, and whatever may be said of Miramon’s youth and aristocratic tendencies, he has the strong unbending will and the pluck, both in moral and physical sense, to maintain the dignity of his position. If Vera Cruz falls beneath the blows of this “young soldier of the Church,” Oaxaca cannot resist the con tagion of her weak example. Then the j blood will flow, and the long pent-up vengeance of the infuriated priesthood will be wreaked upon an unoffending people. The expatriated inhabitants of Tehuantepec will be restored to their homes—not for peace, but for “war to the knife” with those who drove them into exile. Juchitan will be razed to the ground, and a price will be put , upon the head of every man, woman and child among the tribe of Juchite ’ ccs. Such a condition of things is in ' evitable, if Miramon succeeds before I Vera Cruz, and I confess my fears that j he will. The Arkansas Free Negro Bill.— 3 The Little Ilock Gazette referring to the 1 bill passed by the Legislature of Arkan , sas to expel free negroes from the State, " says: They have until January 1860 to dis -1 pose of their property, and make other 3 arrangements for leaving. If they do > not go then, it is made the duty of I sheriffs to seize them and hire them out to the highest bidder for one year, giv ing them the net proceeds of their la bor to enable them to leave the State. ' The bill provides that such free negroes as desire to remain, may choose masters —the county court having them ap praised, and the master or mistress they 1 have chosen, paying half their value . into the common school fund of the i county. — A Mr. Beale, of Ohio, has received SBOO from a .ailway corporation, for having been ejected from the cars by a conductor, to whom he had refused to pay the extra five cents for a ticket pur chased in the cars. A Jewish Colony in CniNA. —The Jewish Chronicle states that the rem nants of a Jewish colony has been found at Kai-fung-foo, China. A communica tion is about to be opened with these sons of Israel by their British co-reli gionists, and they will be requested to 1 send two youths to England to receive -a European education. They have been ■ separated from all intercourse with the ; remainder of their race for a period of t six centuries. New' York, March 9.— The floor of s of the first Catholic Church, in thiscity, - gave way this evening, causing r considerable consternation among the , congregation. In attempting to escape, four or five persons were killed and several injured. t The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia North American writes : i “The mail contracts for Georgia are soon to be let, and it is said the Depart ment will feel constrained to turn the retrenching screw in that direction, that Mr. Toombs’ constituents may receive 1 the full benefit of his defeat of the Post i Office bill.” The deficit in the receipts of wheat from the harvest of 1858, at Chicago, 111, has reached over five millions of bushels, as compared with the previous crop. The total accumulation of flour ; and grain the last week was equal to [ 73,000 bushels, against 145,000 bushels for the Sfune week last year. M. Chevalier, the French traveler, in his letters from the United States, says : “ There exists a Yankee in Connecticut, 1 forty years of age, who has never been : to bed at nights, for fear some of his . neighbors would be up in the morning before him. And that is characteristic of the people—they are all alike.” r , Mr. Hale, an American merchant, well known in South America, has offer r ed the government of the United States : to settle all the matters in dispute with f Paraguay, for SIO,OOO. Perhaps it would I have been better to have farmed out j the settlement of the difficulty as a 1 contract. 1 it is reported that the City Govern ment have become so well satisfied with >, the workings of the two Steam Fire En- I gines procured /or the city, that they have come to the' conclusion to pur | chase two more durl.ngthe present year, which will lie deemed snfficient for any emergency which may occur.—Boston Herald. j “Stand as an Anvil.” JiV BISHOP DOANE. “Stand like an anvil I” when the strokes Os stalwart strength fall tierce and fast; Storms but more deeply root the oaks. Whose brawny arms embrace the blast. “Stand like an anvil!” when the sparks l'ly far and wide, a fiery shower ; Virtue and truth must still be n>ark3 Whera malice proves its want es power. “Stand like au anvil!” when the bar Lies red and glowing on its breast; Duty shall be life’s leading stur, And conscious innoceuee its 1 est. “Stand like an anvil 1” when Ihe sound Os ponderous hammers pains the ear ; Thine but the still and stern rebound Os the great heart that cannot fear. 1 ’Stand like an anvil!” noise aud heat Are born of earth and die with time ; The soul, like god, its source and scat, Is solemn, still, serene, sublime. — About half-past eight oclock on Tues day night a collision occuved between the new steamer Baltimore, trading be tween Baltimore and Havana, and the Patapsco, of the Cromwell line, trading i to Charleston, by which the former with i her valuable cargo was sunk. Both ■ vessels light set, and both were badly , damaged, but the Baltimore most seri uosly. The New Orleans Delta, in reporting additional details of the diastrous ex plosion of the Princess, gives the fol lowing : i On Monday evening, the day after the ! disaster, an infant about seven months old, was picked up in the river, at Mr. Peniston's plantation, below the scene of the explosion, floating, with a life preserver made fast to it. It was alive, and is now in a healthy condition, hav- 1 ing been delivered to its mother. - Sensation Newspapers —The N.

And suchlikenesses! In one instance, says an exchange, a cut that was originally ' executed for Piccolomini is palmed off as 1 Mrs. Sickles ; in another instance, an old likeness of Jenny Lind is pressed into the service, while Mr. Sickles and Mr. Butterworth are flattered with hav ing the counterfeit presentments of a ' couple of fellows that were hanged not : long since, exhibited to the enlightened 1 public as veritable portraits of an in- . jured husband and his friend.

During my sickness I was attended - by three physicians in our place, but received i commended for such complaints, but they nf -1 lorded me no relief. As a last resort, I was j persuaded to try Wislar's Balsam of Wild Cherry , aud 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. Retsf-v Perrin. The above certificate was given in the pre sence of Dr. A.

It also removes all ‘ dandruff from the scalp, and effectually banishes every kind of scald head and cutaneous eruption.
