Medicine that never Debilitates
DR. SAND FORD’S
INVIGORATOR,
OR LIVER REMEDY,
IS N ARTICLE THAT EVERY BODY NEEDS WHO IS
nol In a perfect state of health, for the Liver is second only
to the heart in onr human economy, snd when that is deran
ged the whole vital machinery runs wrong. To find a medicine
peculiarly adapted to this disease has been the study of one
ot the proprietors, in a large and extended practice lor
the past twenty years, and the result of his experiment isthe
Invigorator, as a never-failing remedy where medicine has
any power to help. Asa liver remedy it has no equal, as all
testily who useit.
A lady writing from Brooklyn, says: “Wou’dthat I could
express in this short letter the value your Invigorator has
been to me in raisings large family of children, for it has
never failed to relieve ail ail affections of the stomach, bowels
or attacks of worms. If mothers had th remedy p'aced
within their reach,and were taught how o use it, a learful
and untold amount of agony might he saved.
One of our prominent bankers says, “Five or six years ago
1 found myself running down with a liver difficulty; resorting
to year invigorator, was greatly relieved, and continuing
for a season, was entirely restored. ’’
A clergyman called at our office the other day and said he
had given a Door woman a bottle,who w as suffering very bad
ly from the Liver Complaint, and before she had taken the
whole ot it she was at work earning bread for ner family.
A gentleman, recently from t ,e west,says, while at Chicago,
hew sati eked with a slow, lingering lever, that baffled the
shill of physicians, .but the Invigorator cured him in a few
days.
Oneof our city merchants, said, while on: a visit'to STroy, a
few days ainee, he was attacked with bowell and st much
disorders, so as to confine him to his room, he sent to the drug
store for a bottle of Invigorator, took one dose, which relieved
him so that he was abletoj attend his business.
An acquaintance, whoso , business compeis him to write
most of the time, says he became so .weak as to be unable at
times to hold his pen, while at others sleep wonid overpower
him but the Invigorator cured him.
A gentleman from Brooklyn called on ns a week or two
since, looking but the shadow of a man,” with his skin'yallow,
pale and deathlike, lie had >een for a long time suffering
from Jaundice and Dyspepsia, and unable to attend to his bu
siness. We saw him again to-day achangedman, and to use
bis expression; he has not seen the; bottom of the first bottle,
and further adds,: “it saved my life, for I was fast going toa
consumptive’s grave.
Amongthe hundreds of Liver remedies now offered (to the
public, there aie none we can so fully recommend as Dr. San
ford’s invigorator, or Liver Remedy, so generally known now
throughout the Union. This preparation lis truly a Liver in
vigorator, producing t c most happv results ou all who use
it. Almost innumerable certificates have been given of the
great virtueof this medicine by those of the highest standing
in society, and it is, without .doubt; the best preparation now
before the public.

PINKS— By Mollie.
Some love trailing Jessamine;
Some would choose the sweet Woodbine,
First of parasites. Pinks are mine.
Many name the rose to be
Queen of all florescence—
-1 like Pinks best. Pinks for mo.
Others, queen Magnolia call;
That great alabaster bowl,
Ripe with headaches—nausea full.
Lilies, too! how oft in these
White porcelain chalices
Falls the silver dew of praise!
Tulips!... -Why, no flower I know, 1
Poets have not rhymed unto,,
Save these Pinks—that I love so!
Pansies!—how romancers gem
Books with their blue sweet emblem.
Till their pages scent of them !
And Hawthorn!—never minstrel drew
A silver cord, but sung ol you;
From royai Scottish poet —who,
In Windsor town, a captive swain,
Made flow’ry rhymes lo Lady Jane—
Down to the sweeter Tennyson
~” All know how with the plow, by chance,
Bums lilt the medow Daisy once,
, And spun a iheme of sweetness thence.
Shakespeare, lor daft Ophelia, plann’d
Os scented sprays, a wild garland,
And hung them gently on her hand.
And all have wept the lady’s whim,
Who bidding her young lover swim
For blue Forget-Me-Nots, drowned him.
Nay, not a flower that ever was,
Whose spicy scent or clear colors,
Have not flavored some sweetest clause,
Or shower’d a theme with varied glow--
(Likesilver rain and mingling bow)
Save these sweet Pinks- that I love so;
These toothed cups of b'ood color,
Rich with the wine of musk and myrrh,
And clovish oils of Arabia.

A BILL EOR THE ADMISSION OF KANSAS.
Whereas the people of the Territory of Kansas
did, by a convention of delegates assembled at Le
compton, on the 7th day of November, 1857, for that
purpose, form for themselves a constitution and
State govornment, which constitution is republican;
and whereas, at the same time and place, said con
vention did adopt an ordinance, which said ordi
nance asserts that Kansas, when admitted as a
State, will have an undoubted right to tax the lands
within her limits belonging to the United States, and
proposes to relinquish said asserted right if certain
conditions set forth in said ordinance be accepted
and agreed to by the Congress of the United States;
and whereas the said constitution and ordinance
have been presented to the Congress of the United
States by order of said convention, and admission
of said Territory into the Union thereon as a State
requested ; and whereas said ordinance is not ac
ceptable to Congress, and it is desirable to ascer
tain whether ihe people of Kansas concur in the
changes in said ordinance hereinafter stated, and
desire admission into the Union as a State as heie
in proposed : Therefore,
Be it enacted, 4'C., That the State of Kansas be,
and is hereby, admitted into the Union on an equal
footing with the original States in all respects what
ever, but upon the fundamental condition precedent,
namely : that the question of admission with the
following proposition in lieu of the ordinance framed
at Lecompton be submitted to a vote of the people
of Kansas, and assented to by them or a majority
of the voters at an election to be held for that pur
pose, namely : that the following propositions be,
and the same are hereby, offered to the people of
Kansas for acceptance or rejection, which, if ac
cepted, shalljbe obligatory on the United Slates and
upon the said State ofKansas, to wit: First, that
sections number sixteen and thirty-six in every
township of public lands in said State, or where
either of said sections or any part thereof has been
sold or otherwise disposed of, other lands, equiva
lent thereto and as contiguous as may be, shall be
granted to said State for the use of schools.—
Second, that seventy-two sections of land shall be
set apart and reserved for the support of a State
University, to be selected by the governor of said
State, subject to the approval of the Commissioner
of the General Land Office, and to be appropriated
and applied in such manner as the legislature of
said State may prescribe for the purpose aforesaid,
but for no other purpose. Third, that ten entire
sections of ‘land, to be selected by the governor of
said State, in legal subdivisions, shall lie granted
to said State for the purpose of completing the pub
lic buildings or for the erection of others at the
seat ofgovernment, under the direction ofthe leg
islature thereof. Fourth, that all salt springs with
in said State, not exceding twelve in number, with
six sections cf land adjoining, or as contiguous as
may be to each, shall be granted to said State for
its use, the same to be selected by the governor
thereof within one year after the admission of said
State, and, when so selected, to be used or disposed
of on such terms, conditions, and regulations as the
legislature may direct: Provided, That no salt
spring of land, the right whereof is now vested in
any individual or individuals, or which may here
after be confirmed or ad juged to any individual or
individuals, shall by this article be granted to said
State. Fifth, that five per centum of the net pro
ceeds of sales of all the public lands lying within
saidj State which shall be sold by Congress after the
admission ol said State into the Union, after deduc
ting all the expenses incident to the same, shall
be paid to said State for the purpose of making
public roads and internal improvements, as the leg
islature shall direct: Provided , The foregoing prop
ositions herein offered are on the condition that said
State ol Kansas shall never interfere with the
primary disposal ofthe lands off.'the United States,
or with any regulation which Congress may find
necessary for securing the title in said soil to hona
fide purchasers thereof; and that no tax shall be
imposed on lands belonging to the United States,
and that in no case shall non-resident proprietors
be taxed* higher than residents. Sixth, said State
shall neverjtax the lands or property ofthe United
States in that State.
At the said election the voting shall be by ballot,
and by endorsing on his ballot, as each voter may
please, “proposition accepted” or “proposition re
jected.” Should a majority of the votes cast be
lor “proposition accepted,” the President of the U.
States, as soon as the fact is duly made known to
him, shall announce the same bv ploclamation, and
thereafter, and without any further proceedings on
the part of Congress, the admission of the State of
Kansas into the Union on an equal footing with
the original States, in all respects whatever, shall
be complete and absolute; and said State shall be
entitled to one member in the House of Represen
tatives in the Congress of the United States until
the next census he taken by the Federal Govern-
Iment. But should a majority of the votes cast be
for “proposition rejected,” if shall be deemed and
held that the people of Kansas do not desire ad-
mission into the Union with said Constitution, un
der the conditions set forth in said proposition ; and
in that evem the people of said Territory are hereby
authorised and empowered to form for themelves a
Constitution and State Government by the name
of the State of Kansas, according to the Federal
Constitution, and may elect delegates for that pur
pose whenever, and not before, it is ascertained, by
a census duly and legally taken, that the popula
tion of said Territory equals the ratio of representa
tion required for a member ofthe House of Repre
sentatives of the United States; and whenever
thereafter such delegates shall assemble in conven
tion, they shall first determine by a vote whether it
is the wish of the people of the proposed State lo
be admittted into the Union at that time, and, if so,
shall proceed to form a Constitution, and take all
necessary steps for the establishment of a State
Government, in conformity with the Federal Con
stitution, subject to such limitations and restrictions
as to the mode and manner of its approval or rati
fication by the people of the proposed State, as
they may have prescribed, and shall be entitled to
admission into the Union as a State under such
Constitution thus fairly and legally made, with or
without slavery, as such Constitution may pre
scribe.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That, for the
purpose of insuring, as far as possible, that the elec
tion authorized by this act may be fair and free, the
governor, United States district atlorney, and sec
retary of the Territory of Kansas, and the presid
ing officers of the two branches of its legislature—
namely the president ofthe Council and speaker of
the House of Representatives—are herby constitu
ted a board of commissioners to carry into effect
the provisions of this act, and to use all the means
necessary and proper to that end. And three of
them shall constitute a board ; and the board shall
have power and authority to designate and estab
lish precincts for voting, or to adopt those already
established ; to cause polls to be opened at such
places as it may deem proper in the respective
counties and election precincts of said Territory ;
to appoint as judges of election, at each of the sev
eral places of voting, three discreet and respecta
ble persons, any two of whom shall be competent
to act; to require the sheriffs of the several coun
ties, by themselves or deputies, to attend the
judges at each ofthe places of voting, for the pur
pose of preserving peace and good order; or the
said board may, instead of said sheriffs and their
deputies, appoint at their discretion, and in such
instances as they may choose, other fit persons
for the same purpose. The election hereby au
thorised shall continue one day only, and shall not
be continued later than sundown on that day.—
The said board shall appoint the day for holding
said election, and ihe said governor shall announce
the same by proclamation ; and the day shall be as
early a one as is consistent with due notice there
of to the people of said Territory, subject to the
provisions of this act. The said board shall have
full power to prescribe the time, manner,and places
ot said elections, and to direct the time and man
ner of the returns thereof, which returns shall be
made to the said board, whose duty it shaft be to
announce the result by proclamation, ard the said
governor shaft certify the same to the President of
the U. States without delay.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That in the
election hereby authorized, aft white male inhabi
tants of said Territory over the age of twenty-one
years, who possess the qualifications, which were
required by the laws of said Territory, for a legal
voter at the last general election for the members
of the territorial legislature, and none others shall
be allowed to vote; and this shaft be the only qual
ification required to entitle the voter to the right
of suffrage in said election. And if any person
not so qualified shall vote or offer to vote, or if any
person shaft vote more than once at said election,
or shaft make or cause to be made any false, fic
titious, or fraudulent returns, or shaft alter or
change any returns of said election, such person
shaft upon conviction thereof before any court of
competent jurisdiction, be kept at hard labor not
less than six months, and not more than three
years.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the
members of ihe aforesaid board of commissioners,
and aft persons appointed by them to carry into
effect the provisions of this act, shall, before enter
ing upon ther duties, take an oath to perform faith
fully the duties of their respective offices ; and, on
failure thereof, they shaft be liable and subject to
the same charges and penalties as are provided in
like cases under ihe territorial laws.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That the
officers mentioned in the preceding section shaft
receive for their services the Shine compensation
as is given for like services under the territorial
laws.
A Remarkable Difference.
The Savannah Georgian has the following time
ly remarks upon a recent and former difference
upon the floor of either House in Congress.
Remarkable. —When Mr. Brooks of South Ca
rolina, gave Charles Sumner a sound flogging for
his impudence in the Senate Chamber, the Anti-
Slavery papers exhausted their vocabulary upon
him. The other day when Hinton R. Helper, a
renegade and apostate from North Carolina made a
deliberate attack upon Mr. Craig, M. C. of the same
State, in the House of Repreeentafves, not one
word has been said by those philanthropists, who
so much deprecate violence, but he is made an es
pecial pet of. Mr. Greely takes his statement for
gospel in the Tribune, ami Senator Hale of New
Hampshire, and Blair of Missouri, two noted abo
litionists, at once volunteer as his friends. We
give two paragraphs ot the manifesto of this arrant
rogue, taken from the Tribune.
“Three quarters of an hour after the fight, Mr.
Keitt, a young man from South Carolina, who has
recently grow-n into public notice, and who made
himself ridiculously busy in Craige’s behalf, said he
would know whether I had weapons or not; and
so the magistrate having heard the law laid down
came up and asked me if I was armed. Wes,’ I
replied, and at his request, I handed him “Colt”
and “Bowie,” which, however, he gave up to my
order the next morning.
“Senator Hale and judge Blair, two of nature’s
noblemen, neither ofwhomlhad ever the honor
to meet before, voluntarily stepped forward and
kindly acted as my friends throughout the whole
affair; and but for their valuable services for which
I beg to tender them my unfeigned gratitude, I
suppose the Border Ruffians of Washington would
have fined me very heavily for successfully defen
ding myself against the violence of an overgrown
slave-driving garroter.”
Mr. Brook’s walking cane was a bludgeon, but
Mr. Hale volunteers for a man who goes into one
of the Houses of Congress with “Colt and Bowie.”
There is a great difference between the two cases.
Helper got a merited chastisement at the hands of
Mr. Craige, and Southern men immediately for
got aft about it. Mr. Summer got the same, but
the defence of cowardice required the lungs of ev
ery orator and the type of every press at the
North. What can be expected of such arrant hyp
ocrites?
Accident to Charlotte Cushman.—New Scene
in Macbeth. —The Nashville (Tenn.) Union says:
“A little incident occurred during the performance
of‘Macbeth’on Wednesday night which, but for
the wonderful presence of mind of Miss Cushman,
would have seriously marred the interest of the
occasion. In the sleeping scene in the fifth act,
as Lady Macbeth approaches from her chamber,
lamp in hand, the light lace veil with which Miss
Cushman’s head and shoulders were covered
caught fire, and blaced like tinder. Miss Cush
man without relaxing a muscle of her fixed fea
tures, or showing by any visible sign the least dis
composure, caught the blazing robe in her grasp
and immediately extinguished it, without turning
her eyes either right or left, or betraying the least
sign of emotion of any kind. So promptly and
fearlessly was it done, and so much was it in keep
ing witli the character she was playing, that not
withstanding the distinctly audible shrieks of some
ofthe ladies, many present actually believed it to be
a part of the performance. It certainly was, if not
in the bills, one of the greatest pieces of acting we
ever witnessed.’’
Gov. Wise.
The Cincinnati Gazette gives the following first
rate notice of Gov. Wise’s antecedents and present
political position. He ought to feel grateful for
such illustrious mention. Asa matter of some
interest w r e subjoin it.
“His course in the Constitutional Convention of
Virginia, a few years since, in tavor of the free ba
sis of representation, shows that his sympathies
are rather with the illustrious statesmen oi the
early days, in the old Dominion, than with the
modern propagandists. He is directly charged
with having been at heart opposed to the Kansas-
Nebraska act, and it is very certain that he never
spoke a good word in its favor while it was pend
ing. He has been denounced for looking with fa
vor upon Eli Thayer’s scheme of colonizing wes
tern Virginia, and consecrating it to free labor.—
He is busying himself with extensive schemes of
internal improvement, and awakening a spirit of
enterprise of precisely similar character to that
which is wot king important changes in favor of
free labor in Missouri.”
If Ihe Gazette be correct, Wise is as good a free
softer as Seward or Greely. However, we can
not subscribe to the Gazette’s idea of the position
of the erratic Southerner. We can hardly believe
it possible that a man can work himself to such a
pitch or phrenzy as to strike his mother.
Then our Cincinnati coteniporary proceeds to
observe:
“These and other indications go to show that
Gov. Wise has not taken his present position in
regard to Lecompton from any sudden impulse,
or as a mere stroke of policy, inconsistent with the
general tenor of his views and conduct. If he is
really and deliberately looking forward to a grad
ual delivernnee of Viiginia from the domestic in
stitution which Jefferson so deplored the existence
of, and which to the border States, is anything but
a blessing, he can win himself a name worth jnore
than aft the now cheap honots the Presidency can
bestow. Tiie purpose which Henry Clay had in
Kentucky, Governor Wise may possibly entertain
in behalf of Virginia. What Missouri is already
successfully doing, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland,
and Delaware will surely, sooner or later, and at no
distant day, undertake.”
What a splendid prospect for the Southern
Stales! Very possible. Very possible. Misouri
is almost abolitionized already. Delaware has not
been really a slave State for years. Maryland is
going rapidly the same way. And no legitimate
reason can be adduced to show why Virginia and
Kentucky will not go similarly, if the present dis
tinctive condition of affairs is allowed to continue
much longer.— Char. Mercury.
Gov. Wise’s Plagiarism.
Ilis Excellency says the Mobile Register, the
present restless Governor of Virginia, is, perhaps,
of all men alive, ihe one most tormented by an
insatiable desire of notoriety—that being his idea of
fame. Impelled by this pashion, he never lets slip
the occasion of making a noise, and lives in an in
cessant splutter of public letters, and speeches and
toasts. His last exploit was a toast, magnified to
the skies as follows, by his political yoke-fellow,
Mr. Forney, of the Philadelphia Press:
Governor Wise. —Of the representative men of
the present time, the distinguished Executive of
the “Old Dominion” stands among the foremost.
Fearlessly independent on aft subjects, he takes his
position upon the great issue of the day with the
firery fervor ofa Melancthon,and the iron will ofa
Luther. With stirring eloquence, he gives char
acteristic expression to sentiments which come
glowing from a mine of purest and rarest genius.
He revels in a curious felicity of expressi on, which
gives a corruscating, gem-like radiance to his
thoughts.
We have been peculiarly struck with the follow
ing terse and exquisitely conceived toast, which
we find floating among our exchanges, and which
Governor Wise sent to the Patrick’s Day dinner at
Washington. We do not believe that as much
fire and patriotic feeling were ever expressed in as
few words. The language fairly rings with the
sound of steal and sparkles with the glitter of bay
onets ;
“John Philpot Curran, the advocate in 1798.
He was upright when honor was rebellion ; he was
true when integrity was treason ;he stood by the
accused and doomed when to pity was to partici
pate; and he was loyal lo liberty when to name her
was to die.”
It stires an instinctive echo in the heart of all who
sympathise with the sacred cause of liberty and free
institutions.— Phila. Press.
The Pennsylvanian very remorselessly strips
this peacock’s plnme from the chattering jackdaw
that has decked himself with it; it shows that the
toast is a simple theft, almost literal, from a
speech ofthe Rev. Henry Giles,made only a year
ago :
A regard for truth induces us to say, that the
toast in question is a fragment of the peroration to
a most eloquent speech made by the Rev. Henry
Giles, in the Musical Fund Haft of this city, in the
year 1857, and which was characterized by the
United States Gazette as one ofthe most powerful
and impressive discourses ever delivered in this
community.
Mr. Giles said, in speaking of Curran, whom he
denominated “the glory of the Irish Bar “He
was true when integrity was treason ; he was brave
when honor was rebellion; he stood by the accused
and the doomed, when to pity was to participate,
and he was loyal to liberty when even to name her
was to die.”
From the Augusta Dispatch.
The Etowah Manufacturing’ and Mining Company.
Among the pioneers in the development of the
mineral, agricultural and manufacturing resources
of the South, Mark A Cooper occupies a position
which .many who have distinguished themselves in
the walks of literature and statesmanship might
envy. To him principally belongs the credit of
building up the Etowah Manufacturing and Min
ing Company, comprising important works in con
nection with the iron, wheat, coal and gold re
sources of upper Georgia. These works were
commenced in the year 1845, and embrace
Ist. A Rolling Mill lor the varieties of Merchant
Iron; with a nail factory, spike machine, and all
necessary apparatus for building and fitting up,
with shops, warehouses, operative houses, hoteh
store &c., attached. The rolling mill makes from
six to eight tons per day.
2d. A Blast Furnace and Foundry, with all the
needful patterns, shops, office rooms, and operative
houses hereto attached. Its products are hollow
ware, heavy machinery, and pig metal.
3d. AAJerchant Flouring Mill for Wheat, with
warehouse, cooper shop, hotel, and operative houses
therewith connected, making from 150 to 200 bar
rels of flour per day.
4th. Two Grist Mills for Corn.
sth. Two Saw Mills for Lumber.
Gth. A Coal Mine for the supply of fuel to the
rolling mill. 1,000 acres ot timber and mineral
lands in Dade county.
Aft these operations are, and have been, in
successful movement for the last seven or eight
years.
The motive power is furnished by the Etowah
river, which would also furnish ample water power
for the largest manufacturing town in New Eng
land. The iron ore is abundant, and ofthe best
quality, while wood, timber and labor is cheap and
abundant.
Maj. Cooper is now building a rail road from the
YJYcstern & Atlantic road to the rolling mills a dis
tance of four miles. Two miles of the road is neat
ly completed. He is also building anew blast fur
nace in sight ot his flour mill, and immediately on
the railroad. The public has been made familiar
with the obstacles this indefatigable man has en
countered and overcome in bringing so extensive a
business up to its present profitable condition.—
During the late pressure in money matters he has
literally kept his works in lull blast, employing
from 400 to 600 hands.
There is no place in our whole country more ad
mirably adapted for the successful prosecution of
manufacturing enterprises of every kind and es
pecially those requiring iron, cotton, wool, wood
and cheap labor, The valley lands are fertile,
and offer ample agricultural resources to sustain a
dense population. No country on the map is bet
ter adapted to the growth of fruit, and especially to
the vine.
The scenery ofthe Etowah valley is attractive.—
We have spent days—when worn out by over
work in town—in recreation among its wild hills
and bounding streams ; and have seen no region
surpassed by it in ail the attractions of pure air, sa
lubrious climate and fine water. We could write
columns on the natural attractions and resources of
this section, but our purpose was simply to call
attention to the extent and success of a Georgia
enterprise, and to throw our mite in the scale of
popular appreciation which we are too apt to with
hold from those truly great and noble characters
who are bringing out the boundless resources
which God has bestowed on our old Common
wealth.
Advantages of Rotation in Crops.
1. Eachffcrop exhausts the soil of certain ele
ments. Continuing the same crop for many years
consume these elements. The soil will not pro
duce that crop longer. Another crop will consume
another order of elements, and will flourish when
the first will not grow.
2. Each plant, while growing, throws off certain
matters which are not favorable to the growth of
successive crops of the same plant. Plants in
this respect are some ,what like animals, always
avoid their own excrements. Now, other plants
may use these matters. Hence a rotation's profi
table, because one crop may take up what another
throws off.
3. Certain crops have certain insects that prey
on them. The cultivation of the same crop for
many years, favors the multiplication of these in
sects. Change the crop, and you diminish or de
stroy them.
4. Various crops furnish various kinds of man
ures, which are found profitable on alarm. He
who wants this variety will find a rotation the sim
plest easiest way to secure it.
5. A rotation in ciops results in some great so
cial advantages. Among these are the following :
A community which pursues a good rotation will
be more independent of foreign supplies. It will
pass through a season of scarcety with less suffer
ing. Its farmers will be more intelligent, because
their experience will be more varied. Their pros
perity too will not depend on the ups and downs of
a single crop.— Am. Agriculturist.
Terrible Whirlwind at Tuskegee.— On the
20th inst., we learn that a terrible whirlwind visit
ed Tuskegee in Macon co. It destroyed, totally,
only the house of Joshua Willis, Esq., though sev
eral others were injured. Five or six persons were
badly injured. A negro was blown to a considera
ble distance in the air and was killed. He was in
a carriage house, near Mr. Willis’ house. Me.
Willis, his wife and child, were aft badiy injured,
though there are hopes of their recovery.
The scope ofthe tornado was not more than from
sixty to one hundred yards wide.
Further particulars hereafter.— [Montgomery
Mail.
Since copying the above from the Mail, we have
received the Tuskegee Democrat, from which we
copy some particulars:
“There was in and about Mr. Willis’ house, at
the time, eight or ten persons in aft, and how they
save one, escaped death seems nothing short of a
miracle. Aft were hurt, and some of them se
verely. Soon after the wind had abated the neigh
bors hastened to the relief of the sufferers, whom
they found so paralyzed as to be unconscious of
what had occurred. They were removed to the
residence of Mr. J. B. Bilbro, where they are re
ceiving every kindness and attention that heart
felt sympathy can suggest. Several of them had
their arms broken, and their faces badly bruised;
and Mr. Herbert, who was present at the time, is
thought to be dangerously hurt in the spine.
A little child of Mr. YVillis, received a contusion
on the forehead, which is considered quite danger
ous. Mrs. Willis and Mrs. Herbert are also bruis
ed and have each a broken arm.
One negro man, the property of Mrs. Peterson,
was found dead at the distance of two hundred
yards from where the houses had been. Another
negro the properly of J. E. Reese was blown to a
great distance and severely hurt, but not danger
ously. A negro infant was found in ils cradle,
buried in the rubbish entirely unhurt. The rest
were unhurt. The family were just sitting down
to dinner when the awful crash came upon them.
It was all the work of a moment, giving them no
time to make their escape.
The hurricane then passed the house of Mr. Bil
bro, doing some little damage, and next that of
Mr. L. Johnston, which it unroofed, severely hurt
ing two negroes, one of which will likely die. It
then passed the residence of Gen. B. Graves, which
it damaged and wrecked to a great degree, killing
horses and blowing down all the fences and timber
in its way. A perfectly new carriage, belonging
to the latter gentleman, was so torn to pieces, that
no two parts were found together. We are still
hiring of further destruction, to the distance of
ten miles from this place, but have not learned ihe
particulars.”
Important Mail and Passenger Arrangement.
It is with pleasure that we announce ihe fact
that Messrs. G. W. Merrill & Cos., have perfected
an arrangement with P. O. Department at Wash
ington, which is of importance to our section.
They are running a line of four horse post
coaches from this place to the termini of both ihe
Main Trunk and the Brunswick & Florida Rail
roads. The agent informs us that so soon as the
stock all arrives (and the horses are in Savanna!))
and they get their arrangements perfected, that
thev will carry passeugers from this place through
to Savannah in thiriy-four hours, at a less expense
than on the route via Macon.
We will say for the benefit of our up country
friends that this line passes through the counties ot
Thomas, Lowndes, Clinch, Ware,and Pierce. By
this line of stages they can reach the county sites
of each of the above named counties. When the
line gets in complete operation, which will be in
ten days, there will not be the least detention.
They have fine coaches, good horses, and ex
perienced teamsters. We know Mr. Merrill, and
we have every reason to believe that he will do
every thing in his power to expedite the travelling
public.
Our up-country friends had better note this de
cided improvement in our mail and passenger faci
lities.— Thomasville Reporter.
Immense Amount of Money on Deposit in this
Country.— ln the banks of the four great cities of
this country—New York, Boston. Philadelphia and
New Orleans—there was last week on deposit
no less than one hundred and twenty-eight and a
quarter millions of dollars, an increase on the pre
vious week of nearly two millions of dollars. This
does not show any great revival of business in the
country at large. In Boston, previous to the late
financial crisis, the amount on deposit in the va
rious banks of the city was not much over fourteen
millions of dollars; it is now twenty and a half
millions. The specie in the banks of the four cities
last week was fifty-seven millions five hundred
thousand dollars; the previous week, fifty-five
millions eight hundred thousand dollars—an in
crease of a million and a half in one week. In
Boston, within the past six months, the amount of
specie in the banks has about doubled. —Boston
Traveller, of April 17.
The Coolie Trade-— lt is stated that Mr. Reed,
our minister to China, lias made a move towards
putting a stop to American vessels engaging in the
Coolie trade. He has notified an American ves
sel now loading at Macao with Coolies, of his inten
tion to move the United States Government to put
in force the act of Congress of 1818, relative to this
matter.
Casualty —Among the numerous casualties re
cently detailed, the following is very meancholy :

From the N. O. Crescent, April 23d.
Os the rivers: we hear nothingof special interest
respecting the lower tributaries of the Mississippi.
Before the city the river is stationary ; on the 21st,
it was falling at Vicksburg; the same day it was
stationary at St. Louis; but the upper Mississippi
and Illinois rivers were rising; on the 21st, the
Ohio at Louisville was stationary with 8 leet water
on the falls.
The St. Louis Republican, of the 17th says:
The river at this point remains stationary. It
has not fluctuated half an inch in thirty~-six hours.
The Illinois is reported rising. The upper Mississ
ippi falling from St. Paul to the upper rapids—sta
tionary between the rapids—and rising from Keo
kuk down. The Missouri is about stationary from
Weston down—aft the boats in it are getting along
well.
The weather was very fine and warm yesterday,
and business on the levee was tolerably active.—
The boats lowered their flags at half-mast dur
ing the celebration ot the obsequies of Colonel Ben
ton.
The Louisville Journal, ofthe 16th says:
The river was rising again yesterday. Last
evening there were 8-y feet water in the canal by
the mark, and 6 feet 7 inches in the pass on the
falls. Weather clear and pleasant.
St. Louis, April 21.—The river is stationary at
this point. The upper Mississippi and the Illinois
are both rising.
Louisville, April 21.—The river is falling here
with ten feet on the falls,
The Baton Rouge Crevasse. —The Advocate
of Monday 19th inst. says:
In our last notice of the crevasse below this citv,
the piling on each side had been advanced to
within fifty feet of closing, through which the wa
ter was rushing in a rapid current. On Saturday,
Colonel Hebert stopped operations on the main
work and directed a zigzag breakwater to be con
structed acro-s the current above the point for
closing. This was done with entire success on
Sunday by means of two rows of piling filled in
with bags of dirt, which served to check the force
of the current sufficiently for the piling on the
main levee to be joi ed near the center ot ihe crev
asse. This plan lias effectually settled the ques
tion as to whether the crevasse could be mastered.
Ifthe weather permits the bagasse and dirt work
will be completed to day (Monday,) and the levee
so stiengthened as to defy future danger. The
water has receded from the larger portion ofthe
plantations ofMessrs. McHatton.
The Creeasse. —News from the Crevasse last
evening was no more favorable, although operations
have begun for closing it, still, they have progiess
ed but slowly. A few piles were driven during
the day, but, on the oilier hand, we learned the
breach had widened some five or ten feet.
The water is showing itself in the rear of Mc-
Donoghviiie and Algiers, in alarn ing proximity.—
We learned that it was up nearly to the Pavilion
Gardens, and was still advancing. In Algiers it
was a foot deep within two squares of Cook’s
Foundry.
A gentleman informed us, who is living in the
backpart of the town, that when he left his house
in the morning there was not a sign of the ‘water,
but upon returning at evening it had so covered his
place that he wac obliged to pack up and leave for
higher quarters. It is almost impossible to esti
mate the amount ol damage that will certainly be
done it the water is not checked soon.— N. O.
Della 22.
Effects of the Flood.— A Memphis paper in
forms us that at Napoleon, Ark,, twenty three deer
which had been driven inside the town by the inun
dation, were killed in one day. A great deal of
property was destroyed. At one place below Na
poleon horses were seen standing in the porch of
a private dwelling, and any number of cattle stand
ing in water up to their sides. Hogs were stand
ing about in the woods on logs.
The late Cool Weather, &c.
The unseasonably cool temperature prevailing
in this region since the squall and hail of last Tues
day afternoon, has occasioned, during the week
considerable anxiety among planters and garden
ers, but probaly little or no damage has been done.
The wind probably saved us from one injurious
trost, and another actually observable in some lo
calities in town, was too slight to harm vegetation.
Thus far, agricultural prospects in this whole re
gion never were better. Cotton, grain and fruit
have made an unsually promising start, and in re
spect to the latter particularly, all are so-tiling ex
pectations of an abundance.— Georgia Tele
graph 22d.
The fruit prospects is the finest ever known
in this country, so far. The peach trees have
bloomed, the blossom laded, and the peach swelled
to a considerable size. The apple trees are now
m full bloom. The much'dreaded Easter Sunday
has passed without a pinching frost, and hopes
are entertained ot a bountiful fruit crop.— East
Tennessean.
The Weather in North Lousiana. —The Caddo
Gazette, of Saturday last, says:
During the early part of the week the weather
was cold and cloudy. The wind directly from the
North blew a perfect gale. Great tears were en
tertained lor the fruit. On Tuesday night there
was a slight frost, which did no injrry, We have
beautiful spring weather, dry and warm.
The Mount Lebanon Baptist savs :
To day, April 13, as we go to press, there is every
indication of a freeze to-night. A stiff northwest
wind has been blowing constantly for two days and
nights, and the temperature is hut little above the
freezing point and dowdy. We still h pe, though
it is almost h >pe against hope, that the cinu*s may
continue o: < be temperature rise, and spare our
fair spring p.ospects.
The Fruit Crop. —No late frost has, so far, nip
ped a single fruit bud in East Tennessee, and the
consequence is, that we have the prospect of the
most abundant fruit crop ever grown in the coun
try:—apples, pears, peaches, cherries and plurns,
will load the trees to the destruction of many ol
their branches, while the crop of grapes, in ail the
vineyards, will probably be larger than ever before
known.— Souhern Citizen.
There is a most encouraging prospect at this
time for an abundant fruit year and early garden
vesitables. The cold change ol last week pas-ed
off without sufficient frost to do any injury. Some
(ft our farmers fear that at the next full moon we
may have frost. We have known it later that the
27th of April. The spring thus far has been one
of the best we remember. Cotton planting is pret
ty much through with in this county.— Central
Georgian.
What a people we Americans are for
magnificent names! Just think of it. A little
tour-by-six apartment in a steamboat called a “state
room”—a name borrowed from the most ample
and gorgeous room in a royal palace 1 And the
word “saloon” (from the French salon) which in
dicates, properly, nothing less than the most spa
cious and splendid ol'drawing rooms. I have seen
it painted over the door of a dirty shanty in a New
England city, and often embellishing the front of
a log grog shop in the Western States. Almost
every where the popular name for a retail liquor
establish me at is now “saloon ;” and myjriend Wea
ver, of the Buffalo Courier, says he once heard a
rum customer Who was trying to find a bar keeper
inquire for the “salootiiaf.”
Colored Chivalry in the North. —The New York
Evening Post states that on the morning of the 13th
a duel was fought somewhere in the neighborhood
of that city between two darkies, and ol them re
ceived a I all in the leg, which would probably result
in amputation. A colored lady was at tho bottom
• ofthe affair.
