that are sore and painful,is the only article ever brought
before the pu -lie that will do its work perfectly in from
three to twenty minutes—has been used by thousands and
pronounced to be the best remedy ever discovered.
This Oil acts on the system with electricity—is of pure
vegetable preparation. Not the slightest danger ol apply
ing it outwardly or inwardly. It at once gives a perma
nent cure—in most cases from ten to twenty minutes.
The best physiologists of Europe have discovered that all
organic'deraogement of the animal system is the effect of
an obstruction ot the physico electric fluid in the organ j
diseased. A skillful appliation of this oil puts in knme |
diate motion the nerve Maid, and the cure is at once ac
complished. No bleeding, no vornitiug, purging or blis- |
teiing is resorted to. ]

And the various affections consequent upon a disordered
STATE OF THE LIVER.
Buch as Indigestion, Acidity of *ihe Stomach, Colicky Pains,
Heartburn, Low ol Ippetite* Deap* nOuncy, Costiveuess,
ini ml and Bleeding Pile', lu all Nervous, Rheumatic and
Neuralgic Affections, it has, in numerous instances proved
highly beneficial, and in others affected a decided cure.
his is a nureiy vegetable compound, prepared on strictly
scientific principles, & ter themanuer of the celebrated Hol
land Professor, Boerhave. Because of its great success in
most o t be European States, its introduction into the United
States was intended more espeoially for those of our father
land scattered here and there over the lace of this mighty
country. Meeting with great succest among ;them, I row oi
ler it to the American public, knowing that its truly wonder
ful medicinal virtue! must? be acknowledged.
It is particularly reconi mended to those persons whose
constitutions ina> have been impaired by the continuous use
of a.dent spirits, orolher Du-ms oi dissipation. (lermraliy in
stantaneous in else-ct, i! finds its way directly to the seat of
life, thrilling and quickening ev* ry nerve, raising up the
drooping spirit,and, in lac;, imus.ng new health and vigor in
the system. .
NOTICK. —Whoever expects to find this, a beverage will be
disappointed; but to the sick, weak and iow spirited, it will
prove a grateful aromatic cord.al, poesetsed of singular rem
edial properties.
CAUTION!
The great popularity of this delight ul aroma has induced
many imitations, which the public should guard against pur
chasing. Be not persuaded to buy anything else until you
have given Boerhaye’s Holland Bitters a lair trial. One Bot
tie will convince you how infinitely superior it Is to all these
imitations.

A true extract from the minutes of this Court, March sth,
jqjt ’ J. D. LBNNARD, Ordinary.
March 17l b-w3m
Wit at a Pinch.
A country girl one morning went,
To ma ket with a pig.
The little curl tail, not content,
Began to squeal a jig.
A dandy who was riding by,
Who wished to pass a joke—
“My dear, how comes your child to cry,
When rapped up in a cloak?”
The country girl thus quick replies—
“So had a breeding had he,
That ever and anon he criee
Wheue'er he sees his daddy.”
lhe Duty of the South.
At no period in the history of the Government, have
the elements of opposition to the interims of .he South
exhibited such harmony of purpose and aetiou as marks
the n ovements of lhe Black Republican party at this
ime. Bold, unscrupulous, reckless, it hue thrown *ff all
disguise, and matches on to the accomplishment of its de
signs, heedless of consequencrs in triumph or deteat.—
Seeing no posa ble way of abolishing slavery by direct in
tervention, its object, as avowed for years past, has beep
itid is, to cripple and weaken, to circumscribe and make
stationary the South, while the North continues to grow
n population and wealth. Gradually this process will
throw iuto the hat d* of cur enemies all the power and
patronage ot the government. It this continues we
-hall be prostrate and suppliaut, while Northern Aboli
danism roped at \Vemagtoii, fill wield lhe sceptre
of inipire. The most idolatrous worshipper ol the Union
will not contend lh;! she South would be safe a day, aye,
or an hour, in this government, under the control ol
Black Republicanism. No voice o! patriotism, no sense of
justice, no recollection of the past, no hope ot the (more,
no motive of policy, no suggestion ot iuterest, tm appre
hensiou ot danger, no love of liberty, could stay its mad
maiigni'y. Nothing less than lhe ul er subjugation ot
the slave power would satisiy its rabid lust for ruin'.—
Thai point is seiiKd. But is such a catastrophe proba
ble ? lo answering this question it is uot necessary to
trace the progress of the anti-slavery sentiment from its
early obscure beginnings up to the present, lis first fee
ble voice iu the county meetings ot New Kugl.md, in
timid petitions to State Legislatures, in bolder petitions 10
Congress, in the rganix ition ot large influential socie
( ties making and stiu ii -ues in Stale and F-d-rul flections,
iu the election to Congress of its favorites, in their whis
pered utterances, nt first, steadily glowing louder and
more defiant, iu the breach of faith by the North toward
the South on the fugitive slave proviso nos the Constitu
tion, through State action, in the disruption of those ec
elesiasiica) bonds which united the two sections in the
same religious bodha All these things we pus 9 over
with a nitre mention, aud rest our impression that there
i* danger, imminent, impending, immediate danger, on
two prominent admitted facts.
First, That a candidate, with uo personal influence or
party claims whau-vet—for his opposition to slavery,
alone—received ne;.r one million votes lor the Presidency
of the United States, against a Northern mun, !*>ng ds
tinguished by his c. un try men as worihy of holding the
most important offices in the gift of the American peo
pie—aud even this was not the lull strength of the par
ty—for a portion of its support was given to a third can
didate in the field.
Second, That i.v > of th > most populous, wealthy and
influential States in the Union, by solemn legislative en
actments, have assumed an attitude of open hostility and
rebellion to the authority ol the General Government, and
repudiated adec sion ol the Supreme Court ot lhe Uni
ted States, because it restored to ihe South rights of which
she had been deprived.
Now, three thing? :re evident, too evideut for .-rgu
rnent. The power which can aotreve such results is stu
pendous. Next, it is bitterly opposed to us and our in
terests ; and lastly, it is eoriupt, fanateal and unscrupu
lous. if, however, we eat) preserve the reins of govern*
merit in the hand* of our friends, we shall defeat iis
machinations, and may enjoy peace aud safety. The dif
ferences between Southern men arise on thi* very point.
Equally polliotic, and equa ly devoted to the defence of

Our Fast Running, 1857 —A Comparison.
The race? of the present year, 1857, at Charleston, in
Georgia, and nt New Orleans, have been uncommonly
last, at ail distances, “low down in the forties,” and a little
lower.
Those who rely upon time as a test—and none will deny
it requires a fast horse to make a fast race, and a game
one to repeat heats in approved time—will no longer doubt
our having lour in iters among us. This will be shown by
the record, in the recent four mile heal races run by Sue
Washington, Charleston, Tom McGuffin, and others. ‘1 he
latter has lately won a second lour mile heat in 7:38, the
last mile (second heal) in l:s2i—-the time of the fastest mile,
the last ol the first heat, when lienry beat Eclip e the heat
iu 7:371. That time, at that period, (1823) was considered
so incredible that the judges hesitated aoout proclaiming
it. r l he last mile in Tom McGuffin’s first heat was run
in 1:46. It will be remarked that T. McG’s sire, Ruffin,
son of Hedgtord, is descended from the maternal ancestry
of Boston. Sue Washington, at least among the foremost
on the file, uuites paternally from Revenue, the blood of
Fashion, with other crosses in her dam, from Sir Arehy.
The Etnilus blood, as transmitted by Sovereign and Priam,
tells in Charleston. This is breeding “in and in.”
Though these “nonpareils” of the day have not come
up to the time ot Boston and some of his renowued get,
they have not greatly fallen below that high standard.
For many years alter the Eclipse and Henry match, the
time oftheir race was uot made. Latterly, it has beeu sur
passed so often ns uo longer to excite surprise.
Jn Skinner’s addition to Mason’s Farrier, he remarks, re
specting one ol the most memorable contests on tho Wash
ington course, in 1806 and so regarded for many years
thereafter, that “when Floretta won the race (tour mile
heats,) winning the second heat in 7:52 against such nags
as Oscar, Top gallant, and First Consul, it was ueemed
a marvellous performance ; each heat (three of them) was
run under 8 minutes.” Eutaw, on the same course, in
1842, beating Sarah Washington (dam of Sue Washington)
and others, won both heats ot four mile in &:01, 7:43. Eu
taw was net a horse ol celebrity.
Many ot the heft horses, on both sides of the Atlantic,
have failed to run fast races, because they met no com
petitor by which there speed w’as put to test. Such was
the case with Floriz<4. He never lost a heat.
Relying on the time us the test, might lead to a woful
disappointment in Lecomte, Pryor, or Prioress, n a race of
less .than three miles. None hut thus? who have witness-,
ed it, can reuli/.e the burst ot speed at the close, often, ot
not a very lat lace in England. Such a hurst is to be
dreaded by thi sewho rely on our stout horses.
These obaer\at ions may lead to 9ome salutary reflec
tion 9. j.i-
Asa standard of comparison, the almost incredible time
of Henry and Eclipse, at the epoch ot their exciting c o n *
test, is given with the exploits of the present year, that
produce no wonder. Asa last race depends upon so many
contingencies besides speed—the character and state ol the
course, the weather, the weights, condition ot the horse,
the mode he is run, &c.—it is impossible to form an esti
mate of comparison by time as the test. But as to the fact,
the Eclipse match was run in 7:37i ; 7;49 ; Charleston a
two heats in 7.39; 7:40; Tom McGuffin’s in 7:52; 7:36.
The Power of Capital.— The Creole, on the power
of capital in the State, remarks :
Rothschild could scarcely be said to belong to any
nation. Baring i9 anything bat an Englishman, and
Steiglitz cannot be said to be exclusive Russian ; but they
can, at a moment’s notice, command an amount of cap
ital to determine the financial operation of the most pow
erful goverment, or direct it in such a manner as to create
or destroy any branch of commercial enterprise. They
control the great ventures made on the Continent ; war
or peace depeuds upon their consent ; works of improve
ments, and measures to change the aspect, action and
condition of the industrial classes, must meet their sanc
tion, or prove visionary and unsuccessful.

Oov. Wise and Monsieur Lacontuie.
In the New York Herald of the lllh iutt , we Find pub
fished a correspondence between Gov. Wise, of Virginia,
and Monsieur Laeonture, the agent of a European Com
pany, on the subject of establishing a fine of mail steamers
to ply between Havre and Norfolk or adjacent points. The
Company to receive $25,000 for each voyage Uo and tro)
for five years, and in leturn to carry the mads to France
and all parts of the continent ot Europe. To this propo
sition the Governor alter showing the causes which have
checked the navigation and commercial interests of Virginia,
makes counter propositions and closes as fol'ow s:
To come to some practical proposition for the present, I
promise: ,
First—You say your company has steamers ready to put
on the Chesapeake line at once. Now, it they will make
up a cargo of French goods for one steamer, and give thir
ty days’ notice of the day of her arrival at Norfolk, there
is no doubt that Virginia and North Carolina merchants
will meet her there, and purchase her goods, and have there
for her a return cargo of our produce. Our merchants need
no appeal ; they will only need timely notice to meet cargo
with cargo, with lair import and export prices, it this one
succeeds, the French line to and from Norfolk and Havre
will be established.
Second—ls it must have aid by contribution, it will al
most fie sure to have.* small contract under appropriation
by Congress; lor the Southern States will no longer vote
lor appropriations lo any Northern line to carry European
mails, unless equal amounts are voted to one or more
Southern lines. But if all this fails—
Third—it European capitalists will bring their funds to
Cf mplele our Kanawha canal and Covington and Ohio
railroad, 1 will recommend to the General Assembly of
Virginia to guarantee a stipulated interest or a least six per
cent, and the entire redemption of the debt in &4 years, and
an appropriation horn the State treasury of $210,000 pet
annum to aid iu sustaining a line of steamers of sufficient
class. Or,
Fourth—Construct the works with your capital and take
them for a stipulated period of time.
Do this, sir, aud our public works will soon accumulate
a surplus produce on the Chesapeake quays of commerce,
sufficient to sustain any class of bteaine-H, withou other
aid ; the amounts will be so great that the question will not
be whether a load ot produce can be got lor a ship, but
whether ships enough can he got for the tonnage of pro
duce. And long before a transverse line of ea?t and west
improvement through the centre of the temperate zone of
our part of the northern hemisphere shall have reached the
Pacific, it will he seen that Virginia’s 70,000,000 of past,
and her 30.000.Q00 or 40,000 000 ot lulure ex|H*nditure wfill
have been but her mite in the amelioration of the world,
and that it will not have been spent in vain. Share with
us, then, this glory.
We invite you to come with your capital ; and to con
vince you that you will have a profit as Wull as we a de
velopment, is my only excuse lor this extended memoir,
which shail be communicated to lhe General Assembly of
Virginia at its next session.

the subject, and lhe highest respect for you and your gener

Chinese Cane.
At the annual meeting of the Boston Sooiety of Nat
ural History, held cn the 6th inst., statements were made
respecting the production of sugar from the Sorghum
sajeharatum or Chinese sugar cane, which have an im
portant bearing upon the questiou of introducing thut
piaut for general cultivation. Dr A. A. Hayes read a
paper on the kind of sugar developed :
The introduction ol this interesting plant has led to
many and somewhat extravagant suggtstions in relatiou
to its future bearing upon the agriculture and commerce
of the United States, particularly in relation toils produce
of sugar. According to the Curator of Botany of the
Society, Mr. Sprague, this sugar cane belongs to the
tribes which inc ude grasses, and w-e should therefore
expect to find its saccharine matter the variety of glucose
celled the sugar of grasses, or fruit sugar, lhe succe.-s~
ful attempt* made to crystalize sugar from the juice of
Sorghum, produced in and fferent climates of our Country,
last year, indicated that it contained uo cane sugar, or
that the presence of s ‘me detrimental matter in the ex
pressed juice, destroyed its crystaiizible character.
When a shaving of the partially dried pith of the
matured stalks is examined by the microscope, we observe
the sugar ceils filled with semi fluid .-ugar. Alter expo
sure to air it is often possible to distinguish some
crystaline forms iu the fluid sugar. These grains, af.er
being washed, cease to present a crystaline character,
and have the hardness and general epp.-aranoe of dry
fruit sugar. By withdrawing the sugar without the aid
of water, it is possible to obtain it colorless and neutra 1 ,
as a semi-fluid glucose or fruit sugar, end no traces of
erystions can bo seen. The glucose thus obtained, freely
exposed to air, soon undergoes the molecular change
which is exhibited by sugar of grapes, and we thus ob
serve another character associating the whole product
with tlie sugar of grasses and Iruils. Chtmicaily, the
semi-fluid an gar of the Sorghum does not blacken with
sulphuric acid, but it was sensitive to the action of alkalies,
ami reduced toe alkaline s luiicn ol tf.rtrate of copper,
thus conforming to the well known character ot glucose.
The m st careful aualysis failed to detect any cane sugar
in any samples of the stalks, or in any sample of its sugar,
even io that raised and e:.relully prepared by Colonel
Peters, in Georgia. l)r. Hayes there lore concludes that
the Sorghum cultivated in this country , does not
concrete cane sugar, or true sugar , its saccherine mat
ter being purely glucose in a semi- fluid j§rm. For
sweetening properties, nearly four pounds of this g'uoose
would be required to equ 1 one of true sugar ; but as a
raw material for the production of spirit, and as an addi
tien to the forage crop, the plant may be found o have a
high economical importance.
Prof. John Bacon confirmed the results at which Dr.
Hayes had arrrived. He was unable to obtain auy crys
tals of cane sugar in the Sorghum.
The Chairman, Dr. Jackson, said he had made exten
sive investigations iuto the chemical properties and
economical value of the Sorghum for the United States
government, which would soon be published in the
Patent Office Reports.
Mr. N. H. Bishop exhibited some of the seed of this
plant, which is imported from France and not China, as
might be supposed. It is estimated that ten tons would
be sold in Boston this season for plantiug, aud that one
pound would plant ;.n cr<*

MOVEMENTS OF THE SONORA FILIBUSTERS.
By the schr. Star, Capt. Gammon, arrived last evening,
we have advices from Vera Cruz to the 6th inst., one week
later. Intelligence from the City of Mexico to the 29th.
President Comonfort had returned from his visit to Tacu*
baya, and resumed his residence in the National Palace
D. Ignacio Aguilar, the celebrated Minister of Santa Anna
and head of the Revolutionary party at the capital had
escaped from the prison. A meditated escape of the pris
oners of the Acordada had also been discovered, and in
time, by a vigorous action, to save the mischief which the
force of five hundred malefactors would have occasioned
They had filed the iron railing, aud planned the assassina
tion of the guard.
No further collisions seem to have taken place between
the civil and ecclesiastical powers. The Extraordinary
advocates the total separation ol church and state.
The principal news by this arrival concerns the progress
of the filibusters on the Pacific coast. A despatch was re
ceived at the capital on the 28th, to the effect that an ac
tion had taken place at Chalorea, between the troops of
Gen. Ynnes and a party of Crabb’s followers, in which the
latter were routed. Letters received by the Extraordinary
irorn Mazatlan, the 27th, however, make no mention of
any such occurrence.
The movements of the filibusters eeem §till a mystery.
The Extraordinary says it is understood at the capital that
Crabb had entered the Stately way ol Sonoyta, and sum
moned the Prefect of Altar to place the whole district at
his disposition, declaring in hi"summons that he had
100 men with, and 900 others on their way to join him.—
Their plan is a simultaneous attack by land ana sea.
The President has named Gen. Yanez commander-in
chief of the forces of the Western States, to act against tho
filibusters, placing the products of the customhouses ol Ma
zatlan, Guay mas and La Paz at his disposal. The Gen.
was to send from Mazatlan on the 17ih three vessels from
that port io Guaymas, while he was to have marched by
land on the 13th, with 150 men and the necessary officers
for a campaign, against the filibusters. The house of
Echeturen &. Cos. had advanced SIB,OOO to supply his im
mediate wants.
A force was also preparing at the capital to march to
the scene of action Tlie Extraordinary estimate* the
number of troops of the line, who could be made available
in Sonoia, at 1,000, to which arc to he added 3000 -Na
tional Guards and -uch of the Papagosas can be induced
to take part in the campaign. The maritime force con
sists of seventy men ol the fixed battalion of Mazatlan, 3
pieces oI cannon, 50 bbls. powder, and other munitions of
war. The Guadalajara recruits numbered 500 men. The
government was very active, and evidently labored under
apprehehcnsiouß lor the result.
The Estandurte publishes the following official account
brought by the Extraordinary of the 21st lrom Mftzatlan:
The first of April, a body of the Nationul Guards under
Capt. Rodriguez, met at the .village of Caborca, the fili
busters who entered the Slate of Sonora by way of Snn
oyta. The filibusters had seized upon the village. The
guard-i attacked it vigorously. In the first onset,Capt.
Rodriguez fell mortally wounded. Capt. Crabb was also
wounded and eight of his men killed. The Guards, how
ever, finally succeeded in getting possession of the church,
which proved an advantageous position.#
On the 2d the filibusters found themselves in possession
of two houses in face of the church, but surrounded by a
force of 250 to 300 men. Things remained in this condi
tion about four days, the Sonorans meanwhile strengthen
ing themselves.
On ihe evening of the 6th, one of the houses in posses
sion of the filibusters was fired. The flames communica
ted rapidly to the other, and in half an hour both buildings
were in a blaze. An attack was also made upon the be
seiged from without, and among other things two barrels
of powder belonging to the filibusters exploded, doing tear
ful execution. Finally, they surrendered at discretion.—
The number of prisoners was 59, and among them Capt.
Crabb himself. Twenty four rifles and some munitions al
so fell into the hands of tho S .norians.— N. O. Picayune.
The Montgomery Race Course.
Mr. D. H. Carter is constructing a race course, on a
most beautiful piece of table land, a lew hundred yards be
yond the “State Fair Grounds.” The track is now nearly
completed and it is the decided opinion of persons of judg
ment, that, taken all iu all, it will prove itself equal if not
superior lo any race track on this continent. Resembles
closely in iorin, the Washington Course, near Charleston,
that is two straight quarter stretches, with the end quarter*
gently curved. It is nearly level ho that every movement
of a horse on any part can be distinctly seen, standing upon
the ground.
The Montgomery Mail says ;
This Course must become the Great Southern Course.
Take the map and see its relations to Kentucky, Tennessee,
Louisiana, Georgia, and South Carolina, and then look at
the dates of lhe principal meetings; and it will be seen,
that with semi-annual meetings—say, Ist November and
sth March—it must become the lion-e Congress of the
South. And where shall we find better men, of higher
character and greater means, than our own Alabamians,
to control so interesting and important an aflair? Col R.
C. Myers, of Autauga, and Col. T. B. Goldeby, of DaK
las. and a half dozen others, will doubtless make this
Course their racing head quarters; and with such names,
the public abroad will i.eed no further guaranty.
We understand that it is likely that the following stables
will be represented here, at the Fall meeting, tthe last days
of October, or the first of November:)
Myers &. More, B. H. Long,
Messrs. Cottrell, Col. Sprague,
. Col V. C. Hunter,Col. Hill,
and perhaps others from Alabama.
From Georgia, those of Messrs, Cassey, Pryor 6c Cos.,
and Stamper.
In addition lo these there are Stables certain to attend,
from Kentucky aud Tennessee.

Murder in Brunswick.
We were shocked yesterday morning on hearing a ru
mor that Mr. John R. Wood, the well known landlord of
the Oglethorpe Hotel, in Brunswick, had been killed. In
the course of the day we learned that it was too true, and
from gentlemen ot Liberty county, who arrived yesterday
afternoon, we learned some of the particulars. The re
ports differ somewhat in detail, but agree in the main. It
seems that on Saturday morning lasi, a negro belonging
to Mr. Wood, was dr.ving a horse, when, by some acci
dent or mismanagement, he ran against Mr Charles C.
Moore, who heat and abused the boy. Mr. Wood inter
fered, telling Moore he ought to have complained to him,
and he would correct the boy if he was in fault, and at any
rate, he ought not to have beat the boy so severely. Some
words passed between them, when they separated, and
nothing more was said, until evening, when Moore having
armed himself with a pistol, went to the Hotel and called
Mr. Wood out to speak with him. He renewed the sub
ject of difference between them in the morning, and was
very violent and abusive in his language to Mr. Wood,
who replied that he had considered the matter settled in
the morning, and did not swish to have any more words
about it. As he was about turning to return into the ho
tel, Moore said he had something more to do about it, at
the same time diawiug his pistol and shooting Mr. Wood
through the breast, kiiliug him instantly. Some gentle
men who were on the piazza ol the Hotel, ran to the as
sistance of Mr Wood,and in the confusion of the mo
ment the murderer escaped. The following handbill has
been issued and circulated through the country:
“SI,OOO REWARD.

Horrible Disclosures!
We learn that great excitement has prevailed in th*
neighboring village of Concord during the past week,
caused by the discovery that several children, who died
recently, had been disinterred and their bodies removed.
There are a hundred rumors in circulation about the
affair. Alter comparing the conflicting stories together,
we make out the following statement of the case.
A quack doctor known by the name of Nug.nt. ap
plied to a man to assist him in taking up a child that had
been buried a few days tefore. The man made the re
quest known, and intimated that two little frirls, daugh
ters of a very respectable gentleman residing in the vi
eiuity, had been removed from their graves by this man
Nugent, for the purpose of extracting medical properties
from their flesh and bones. To ascertain the truth of the
rumor, the father had the graves re opened, and found
the coffins and the bodies missing. Ol course this crea
ted a tle*p sensation and we are informed that it was de
termined to inflict summary punishment upon Nugent ;
but on visiting his house he was found very sick, and in a
dying condition. One report Biya that lie took poison
after learniog that his operations were known to the pub
lic—and another, that he died from a disease contracted
from frequent handling of decomposed bodies.
Nugent died on Wednesday last. He inodo a state
ment before death, that he had exhumed about 16 dead
bodies iu Concord and t Isewhere, and after usiDg them
(tor making medicine,) he burned tho flesh, coffins and
everything, to prevent detection. His ash pile was exam
ined, and teeth and bones found therein.
His theory appears to have been, that a medicine could
be made by boiling the liver of a human being, that would
cure liver complaint ; and so with regard to other dis
eases. We learn that Nugent was from Forsythe coun
ty, and had been living in Concord about two years.—
He once lived in this town, we are informed, engaged in
making peppermint and cinnamon drops. Before he
died, he gave the names of three or lour of his accom
plices, one of whom, a white man named Bogus, was ar
rested in this place last week and committed to jail.
What the fellow did with the medicine he has been
making, no one knows. We heard some one say he had
ogenoie* in Salisbury and Goldsboro’, where one or more

The Leavenworth Herald gives cheering accounts of
the progress of improvements in that quarter ;
Everything around us denotes *hat we live in a fast
country. Houses are springing up all ovef town as if
by magic. Tfireo years ago, here, where Leavenworth
;S.sNtia*ed, wrs a th eket ol hrurii rnd timber. Not a
house th n marked the spot where there are now exceed
ing 500 buildings and a population of at least 4,000 per
ns. But this is a last age and country, and it does not
now take long to build up a great city, especially where
nature has marked out the spot. From morning till
night we can hear the unceasing noise of the work of the
mechanics and the clatter of the busy hum of our en
terprising and go-ahead citizens. Brick are selling at
$lO per thousand. Houses to rent are scarce and in
great demand ; some. 100 ready-made houses have been
pu* up within the last two weeks, but they ore all occu
pied now. Dwelling houses readily command from S2O
to $35 per month, rent.
The capitol build ng at Leeompton, it seems, is to be
competed at .an early day. The Legislature, at its last
session authorized the Governor to ibsue bonds to the
amount of $25,000 for the purpose of completing the
capitol. It will be a magnificent structure vyhen comple
ted. The Governor is taking steps lor issuing the bonds
and raising the money.
The Oregon Statesman , alluding to the formation of
a State Government in the Terrritory says:
With the constitution will undoubtedly be submitted to
the people separate provisions making it both a slave and
Iree State, and whichever receives a majority of the votes
of the electors, will thereby become a part of the funda
mental law. Which of these propositions will hesupcess
ful we cannot, and care not to predict. That isnot to
our purpose; we set out to show that theslaYeiy restriction
contained ni our [organic law,and under which we have
existed as a Territory for about nine years; has had,snd is
likely to have no influence in framing the institutions of
the State. And w-e thiuk there is not a candid man in Ore
gon, conversant with public ‘sentiment, who will under
take to maintain the opposite. At no time during Ore
gon’s existence has there beeu so strong a party iu lavor of
slavery in Oregon , as there is lo day, and it to-day it is not
in the ascendant, it never has been. If a majority of the
people are not now in favor of, and about to adopt a pro -
slavery constitution, at no time heretofore would the Leg
islative Assembly, it it had been ernpo vered,adopted slave
ry. Thus, so far the “prospective State of Oregon will
be affected, the WTlmot Proviso, thrown over us by Con
gress, has beeu utterly without influence or effect.
The Jamestown Celebration.
The Petersburg Express thus speaks of the celebra
tion at Jamestown, that took place on the 13th instant:
“The crowd on the grounds is variously estimated at
from six to eight thousand, including 16 military com
panies from Richmond, Portsmouth, Norfolk and Peters
burg. A large number of ladies graced the scene with
their presence, and added greatly to the beauty and at
tractions of the imposing display.
“Sixteen steamers, many < f the first class, were an
chored in the stream, ail gaily dressed with flags and
streamers, which flaunted in the breize, and presented
a scene at once beautiful and picturesque. Several bands
of music were also on the ground, sending forth their en--
livening notes, and addiug laigely to the interest of the
commemoration.
“The site select and for the ceremonies was a plat of
about ten acres, on the very spot whre a large portion
of the houses of the Coloni-te were huit, and of which
now scarcely a trace is dieeernable. Suitable stands lor
the orators wers erected, and all necessary preparations
made for the accomodation of ladies and oihera.
“Theoraiion of ex Pr sident Tyler, which occupied
about two hours and a half, is spoken of as an effort em
inently worihy the occasion and its distinguished author.
We hear of but on. objection to it, and that i9 its great
length.
“The ooem from James Barron Iloope, Esq., of
Hampton, was received with universal favor, and all ac
cord to it more than ordinary merit.
“Gov. //. A. Wise was prerent ; ar.d being called up
on, spoke for about thirty minutes, in eloquent and thrill- .
ing terms.”
The Washington Citiy States , of the 16th instant, says:
“Mr. J. A. Crawford, oi Georgia, was this morning de
signated by the Secretary oi the Treasury for a first class
(one thousand two hundred dollars) clerkship in the Sixth
Auditor’s Office. His examination was satisfactory.”
A Charge of Cavalry. —The following extrret from
a letter in a Calcutta pa er, nanatiug the particulars of
the encounter between British and Persian forces, gives
a good idea of a charge of cavalry,
“When Forbes, who hud commanded this regiment,
gave the command to charge, he and his adjutant,
young Moore, placed themselves in front of the 6th
troop, which was the one directly opposite the nearest
face of the square. The other Moore, Malcolmsons
and Spens, came the least thing behind, riding knee to
knee, with spurs in their horses’ flanks, as if racing af
ter a stag. In the rear of them rushed the dark troop
ers of thd 3d, mad to avenge the death of poor Malet,
at Bushin*. In spite of steel, Are aod bullets, they
tore down upon the nearest face of the devoted square.
As they approached, Forbes was shot through the thigh,
and Specs’ horse was wounded ; hut unheeding!)’ they
swept onward. Daunted by the flashes and the fire
and the noise and crackle of the musketry, the younger
Moore’s horse swerved as they came up,
“Dropping his sword from his hand and letting it
hang by the knot at the wrist, he caught up the reins in
both hands, screwed his horse’s head straight, and then
coolly, as if riding at a fence, leaped him at the square.
If therefore, any man cau be said to have been first,
the younger Moore is the mun. Os course, the horse
fill stone dead upon the bayonets ; so did his brother’s,
ridden with equal courage and deteiurination. Tho
elder Moore —18 weight, and 6 foot 3 or there
abouts, in height—out his way out on foot. Maleom-*
son took one foot out of his stirrup when be saw his
brother officer down aod unarmed, (fur his sword had
been broken by the fail,] and holding on to that, the
younger Moore escaped. The barrier once broken, and
the entrance once made, through it poured the aveDg’
ing troopers. On and over everything they rode, till,
gutting clear out, they re formed on the other side
—wheeled and swept back— a second wave of ruin.—•
Ont of 500 Persian soldiers of the Ist regular regi
ment of Fare, who composed that fated square, only 20
escaped lo tell the tale of its destruction.”
Conundrums. —‘Talking of conundrums,’ said Old
Hurricane, stretching himself all over Social i/all, and
sending out one of those mighty puffs of lluvana smoke
which had given hirn his name, ‘Can any of you tell
me when a ship may be eaid to he in love?”
“I can tell—l can,” snapped out Little Turtle. “It’s
when she wants to be manned.”.
“Jnt missed it,” quoth Old Hurricane “by a mile*
Try again. Who speaks first ?”
“I do, secondly,” answered Lemons. “It’s when she
wants n mate.”
“Not oorrect,” replied //urricane. The question is
still epen.”
“When she’s a ship of great s:ze,” (sighs,) modestly
propounded Mr. Smoothly.
“When she’s tender to a man-of-war ssid the Col.,
regarding the reflection of his tace in h s boot.
“Everything but correct,’’ responded Hurricane.
“When ‘she’s struck back by a heavy swell,” suggested
Starlight.
“Not as yet,” replied Hurricane. “Come, burry
along !”
“When she makes much of a fast sailor cried
Smabhpip*s.”
Here there was a great groan, and Smashpipes was
thrown out of the window’. When peace was restored,
Old //urricane “propelled” again.
“You might have srid, ‘wbeu she hugs the wind,’ or
‘when she runs down after a suuick,’ or ‘when she’s after
a consort,’ or something ot the sort. Bat it wouldn’t
have been right. The real solution is—when she’s at*
tached to a buoy .”
To Drive Away Rats —Some years since a corres
pondent of the Boston Cultivator, recommended potash,
for this purpose. The rats troubled him very much,
80 that he felt justified in resorting to extreme measures
to ♦fleet tbeir expulsion from bin premises. He pounded
up potash and strewed it around tbeir boles, and rubbed
some under the boards, aud on the sides where th y
came through. The next niirht he heard a squealing
among them, which he supposed was from the eaustio
nature ot the potash that got among tbeir hair, or on their
bars feet. They disappeared, and for a long time he wa
t xempt from any further annoyance.
