THE LIVER

PREPARED BY
DR. SANDFORD,
COMPOUNDED ENTIRELY FROM GUMS.
IS one of the best Purgative and ILiver Medicine now before
the public, that acts as a Cathartic, easier, milder, and
more effectual than any other medicine known. It is not on
ly a cathartic, but a Liver Remedy, acting first on the Liver
to eject its morbid matter then on the Stomach and Bowels
ti> carry oil the'matter, thus accomplishing two purposes et
fec‘ually, without any of the painful feelings experienced in
the operation of most ‘Ohathartics. It strengthens the system
at the same time that it purges it; and when taken daily in
moderate doses, will strengthen and build up with unusual
rapidity.
The'Li-veris one of the 7TV principal regulators ol the
human ibody; and when ilf^’performsits functions well,

“the union of the states and the sovereignty of the STATES.”
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 15, 1858.
FROM UTAH AND THE MORMONS.
[From the Los Angels Vineyard, April 24th;]
Intelligence has been received in this city from
Utah that the. Mormons had evacuated Salt Lake
City about the middle ofMareh, and that the Uni
ted States troops were about to enter the city and
occupy it as a military post.
This report undoubtedly came front Salt Lake
City about the time stated, but, from a comparison
of dates, we are compelled to discredit it.
[Correspondence of the Alia Calilornian.J
Los Angf.les, April 23d.
Thers is some very interesting news from Utah.
It comes through a parly arrived at San Bernardi
no in buckskin dresses on the 20th inst. In the
party were Messrs. D. Clark, D. Starks, Jo. Mat
thews, and others, recent residents of San. Bernar
dino, and several old residents of Salt Lake.
Colonel Kane, who appears to be acting as cotn
sioner, with a power to treat, after a conference
with Brigham Young, had gone to Camp Scott, as
Fort Bridger is now called, ft was believed that
the movements which followed were the results of
his conferences with the conflicting parties. Brig
ham Young has issued a circular to all his follo
wers, commanding them not to fight, nor even to
oppose the Army of Gen. Johnston, and that as the
army advances they retire from the northern to
the southern counties. He commands his people
to avoid all contact with the soldiers, as it is not
good for them to meet. With their wives, their
little ones, and their herds, they are to vacate the
country of Salt Lake including the city, which is to
be given up to the use of the military post. This
circular was seen and read by these gentlemen, but
they did not bring one of them on.
When they left the movement had already begun
and they assert that by this time the city is vacated,
and the army of Gen. Cumming is in operation.
All thoughts of war or fighting are abandoned,
and it is believed that peace will prevail from this
time forth. There no longer exists among them
any intention of destroying their property or leav
ing it, believing that lor all lossps they sustain in
consequence of the c ccupai ion by the troops they
will have a claim upon the government.
The retiring population are to form colonies in
the South, upon the Colorado, the Mohave, and in
the valleys of the Sierra Nevada.
Mftny of those who left, San Bernardino were
badly treated in Salt Lake because they “came
from hell.”
It is said that the people have ceased to use su
gar, tea, coffee, and other articles which are con
sidered indispensable in housekeeping, because
these things are not to be had. There is also said
to be a scarcity of material for women’s clothing,
and many of them go dressed in pants and coats.
The people of the southern settlements are al
most in open rebellion against the church. They
are taxed so enormous for the support of their
army that their substance is nearly eaten up. The
tax amounts to 33 per cent. r of their whole prop
erty.
These facts are discredited from the fact that they
come through Mormons. The next two weeks will
verify or disprove them.
[From the San FraueiscogGiobe, May 4, g
From private advices received in this city we
understand that the Mormons are actually engag
ing in erecting extensive fortifications on the trail
towards Oregon, some hundreds of miles north of
Salt Lake. We are told that at one of these forts 1
one hundred men are constantly engaged, and
that other positions are also being marked out and
fortified. This looks like an em gration r:ort -
ward, and a determined resistance to an “enemy n
the rear.”
From Kansas.
St. Louis, May 31.—The Kansas correspondent
of the Democrat, ot this city, gives many rumors
and conflicting accounts of the recent troubles
in”the southern part of the territory. It is stated
that some two hundred settlers have organized
near Sugar Mound, and a still larger number of
Missourians encamped a short distance from them,
it was thought a battle would ensue between the
parties.
Gov. Denver has commissioned Sheriff Samu
el Walker to proceed to the scene of disturbance,
and report to him when he deemed it proper that
active measures shall betaken to restore order.
The latest news from Ossawatomie stated that
that place was’threatened by three hundred Mis
sourians, and messeugers had been dispatched to
Lawrence for arms.
It appears from correspondence emanating from
the headquartets of the Kansas militia, published
in the Lawrence Republican, that Captains Mont
gomery and Payne were deprived of their commis
sions on the 18th of February.
The Ossawatomie Herald confirms the accounts
of the murder in Lynn county, on the 19th.
It is rumored that Crockett’s party is now be
sieged at Fort Scott by a party of free State men,
who are waiting reinforcements, in order to take
the place by storm.
The Democrat has information from a gentle
man who has just arrived from Kansas, that a
Deduly United States Marshal who has been sent
in pursuit of Montgomery, had been taken prisoner
by the latter on Thursday night last. After some
conference he was released.
From California.
In addition to the news heretolore communicated
by telegraph, we select a few other items of news
of interest:
The Napa Reporter suggests that a convention
of delegates from all the mining counties of the
State be held in San Francisco to consider what
is best to be done in regard to the unjust legislation
which compels the agricultural and commercial
population to bear too great a pioportion of the
expenses of the State government.
R. E. Doyle, late of San Francisco, and G. H.
Giddings, of Texas, have purchased the contract
for carrying the United States mails between San
Diego an San Antonio, awarded to James E. Birch,
who was lost on the Central America.
Col. Fremont arrived in Pear Valley, Mariposa
county, on the 16th ultimo, and was welcomed by
all with the greatest rejoicing. Public respect was
shown by the lighting of huge bonfires on Mount
Bullion, and the firing of quicksilver flasks heavily
charged with powder in lieu of a cannon. Festiv
ities were kept up until a late hour.
The overland mail arrived at San Diego, about
two weeks ago, in twenty-four days front San An
tonio, and the Dieguenos had burned some powder
in glorification over the speed attained.
From the Charleston Courier, June 7.
From Key West’
The U. S. Transport steamer Atlantic arrived
in this port yesterday from Key West. We are
indebted to iter commander, Capt. Talbot, for a
copy of the Kdy of the Gulf of the 29th nit.
The Atlantic embarked companies B and H
artillery, atPunta Rassa, on the 2d inst., left com
pany Bin command of Capt. J. M. Brannon, to
garrison the works at Key West, and brings com
pany H eighty-seven men, under Capt. Seymour,
to garrison Fort Moultrie. The Atlantic will leave
here for Fort Dallas on the Bth inst., to embark
Col. Wynders’ command for Key West, and
thence to Pensacola, to garrison thewoiksol that
harbor.
The U. S. steamer Water Witch, Commander
Rodgers, arrived at Key Weston the 3d instant
from Norfolk, was coaling and would leave on a
cruise on the 14th. Her Britannic Majesty’s gun
boat Jasper, Lieut. Pim, from a cruise, was at Key
West, and had steam on when the Atlantic
left.
The Key of the Gulf, reporting the departure
ofthe British steamer Styx, from Key West, of
25th ult., -says:
The visit of the Styx to our harbor was, no doubt
to watch the movements of the brig Huntress ; but
as she was found to be in the possession of our
custom-house officers, the English commander
deemed it wise to “lay low and keep silent.”
“Pray doctor, had your mother a son?” Let me
see! she had two daughters, but whether she ever
had a son, —I really cannot recollect.”
[From the Charleston Mercury.j
Brunswick Ga.,
Messrs. Editors : Kansas and the Utah question
having in a measure disappeared from the Stage,
I trust you will give me sufficient space in your
columns to call attention to the beautiful and rap
idly increasing place that heads this communica
tion. A short sketch of its past history may not
be inappropriate. Upwards of an hundied years
since the British Government selected Brunswick
as the site of a city', and the Provincial Governor,
Oglethorpe, under instructions from them (then)
reigning monarch, George 11, caused the city to be
laid out. From various causes to us unknown
no progress was made in the settlement of Bruns
wick until sometime in tha year 1836 ; a company
of Northern gentlemen, who had purchased a con
siderable portion of the old town of Brunswick aud
most ofthe land immediately adjoining, procured
an Act of Incorporation from the Legislature of
Georgia, and proceeded to lay out their lands and
sell the same for town lots under their corporate
name of The Proprietors of the City of Brunswick
The commercial crisis of the next year had its ef
fect, and Brunswick lay dormant until within the
last two years, when, owing to the United States
Government having selected this port as a site for
a naval depot, new life now has been infused, aud
it now bids fair to be one of the most important
seaports in the South. Brunswick is situated on
a beautiful bluff of close sand, extending nearly
three miles in length, at an elevation from ten to
twenty feet above high water on the north shore
of a great inlet or arm of the sea, as Turtle River,
and at a distance of about eight miles from the
ocean. Eighteen feet water can be found at the
bar at low W'ater, and the average rise of the tide
is between six and half and seven feet. About the
time ofthe original location by Oglethorpe a Brit
ish seventy-four gun-ship entered the harbor and
lay at anchor off the town for a whole year. A
fine sea air, abundance of pure water, and salu
brity of climate at all seasons of the year, combin
ed with the deep water, bold shore, and facility of
approach to the harbor—no pilotage being required,
there being no current to contend against—are
some of the natural advantages of Brunswick, and
must render it the cheapest commercial port in the
United States.
One drawback upon the prosperity of Bruns
wick hitherto, has been the want of communi
cation with tlie interior. This, however, will
be remedied by the Brunswick and Florida Rail
road, now in course of construction. The annual
meeting of the stockholders took place on the 13th
May SYid from the President’s report, a copy of
which I have sent you, presents a highly flatering
statement of the condition ot the Company.—
This road is intended to run from Brunswick to
the port of St. Marks, on the Gulf of Mexico, via
Tallahasse, Fla., with a branch to Albany on the
Flint River.
I will quote to you a portion of the President’s
(Coi. Henry G. Wheeler) report as follows:
“We present to you a Company having about
thirty-one miles of road in daily operation, not a
single trip having been lost since it was opened—
and carrying the United Sattes mail—with thirty
miles beyond tlie present running point graded,
about eighteen of which are cross-tied ; a floating
debt of $75,000 —entirely within the control of the
Company, and against which we have assets and
available means, and cash to the amount of 33,-
000; and with a total mortgage debt of eight thou
sand five hundred dollars.”
Tlie steamers between Florida and Savannah
pass here three times a week, and it would be a
very pleasant trip to run down here from Charles
ton—far better than going to Sullivan’s Island, for
we have as much ofthe sea breeze and none of
the mosquitoes. Wehave every inducement for
an idle man in Summer, and you should come
down and see us Capital fishing and hunting,
and the finest kind of oysters all the year round.
Tom Hillier, formerly of the City Hotel in your
city, and lately of the Rantowles House, has the
Oglethorpe House in his place. He has leased the
establishment for seven years and is keeping a
first rate house. The Hotel is a large four story
building, with piazzas all around up to the third sto
ry with a wing attached, and is situated on tks bank
of Turtle River. Here we never fail to have a
breeze, and the nights are deliciously cool. I have
been living at the hotel some fifteen months, and
have only known two legitimately hot days. There
has been a great improvement in the hotel since it
has passed into Mr. Hiller’s hands. His fare is
capital—the very best that can be had in Savannah
or Charleston—and everything that the country
affords are to be found there. Carriages, horses,
capital servants, a billiard saloon and bar, and last,
though not least, a yacht for sailing excursions,
can always be found at the Oglethorpe. Messrs.
Editors, it would add ten yews to your life to leave
dear old dusty Charleston fora week, and enjoy a
sail over the beautiful bay upon which Brunswick
is situated.
My paper does not afford me space to eay any
more about this, my new home. My thoughts, as
those ofevery Carolinian, still revert to the State
that gave me birth ; but I must say that I have
never met a place with greater natural advaDtges.
It only wants people; not “the people” such as Car
lyle terms ‘‘the great unwashed but people who
can profit by and improve them. Such I trust, we
will soon have, and when we do, Brunswick will
have a proper place in the picture. We have ma
ny Carolinians here already, and I trust that the
State .that supported and assisted Oglethorpe in
the settlement of Georgia, will cherish and build
up this favorite location.

The petitions for extra mail service between
Fort Gains and Bainbridge, ofthe citizens of Clay,
Early, Miller and Decatur counties, sent some few
weeks ago, to our efficient representative, Hon. M
J. Crawford, were duly presented to the Depart
ment by him. We are sure, from the spirit of his
very polite letter, relative to the subject, that no
man would be more gratified than Mr. Crawford
to see the object of the petitions consummated. —
But, let us hope on —when the Treasury again gets
flush, he’ll no doubt try again. Mr. Crawford will
please accept thanks for his effort in behalf of tlie
citizens of the above named counties.

ditional trip per Week was ordered, which com
menced in February, 1857, and has continued ever
since. And, in March last, on application made
through you, the semi-weekly route irom Blakely
via Steam Mill, to Chattahoochee, Fla., was order
ed to be changed to end’ at Bainbridge. This or
der took effect on the Ist ultimo. So that, since
that date, there has been a four-times-a-week com
munication between Blakely and Bainbridge—the
mail leaving the former on Sunday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Friday; reaching the latter on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday ; aod
reaching the former on Wednesday and Sun
day at I P. M., and Wednesday and Saturday at
7 P. M.
Considering these facts, together with the press
ent depressed condition of the finances, the Depart
ment feels constrained to decline incurring increas
ed expense for mail transportation between the
points named. Yery respectfully,

Army Movements.
Among tlie passengers ofthe steamer Minneha
ha, which left St. Louis for Leavenworth on Sun
day Inst, were Gen. Calhoun and family, Gen. Eas
ton, Maj. Martin, U. S. A., Coi. Clarkson, and other
noted gentlemen, together with a returning dele
gation of the Masonic Order, which had come to
this city some days ago on theJKate Howard.
A correspondent at St. Joseph advises tlie St.
Louis Republican that a portion of the second regi
ment of United States infantry, withdrawn from
garrison at the distant post ofFort Randall, loca
ted towards the source of the Missouri, passed that
place on the 25th inst., on their way to Fort Leav
enworth. This detachment will occupy Fort Lea
venworth during the absense of the col
lecting there for the Utah expedition, as we have
already learned by telegraph They were under
the command of Capt. Lovell. The following
gentlemen were the officers in command : Lieut.
McMillan, adjutant; Captain Lyon, company B;
Capt. Garener, company D ; company
11. They bring no news ftrom Fort Randall, but
report everything quiet.
We learn, from aj Carrolton (Mo.) paper, that
the troops designed for Utah, ascending tlie Mis
souri river, are deserting every chance they get.—
On die steamer Oglesby, recently, there were three
hundred troops, out of which there were fifty de
sertions before that boat passed'Hill’s Landing.—
It is 4 suspected by some that Mormons, in disguise,
are following the soldiers, and afford those who are
willing to desert an’opportunity to escape. The
true and only reason, however, for this disposition
to desert, lies in a general order issued a few
weeks ago, forbidding payment to tlie troops until
their arrival at Fort Maramie.
Editors, Officers and the Law,
“The Sheriff of this county informs us,” says
the Thomasville Reporter, “that an individual con
nected with the press of a neighboring town ap
plied to him for his advertising, and offered to do
it at an exceedingly low rate. The individual in
formed him that he had obtained the advertising
of another county by promising to do the business
for nothing. Does it not occur to this man that
such a course is exceedingly dishonorable?” Will
the officers reflect that the law will not permit them
to charge the people one price and pay an editor
another I
“And even if it did, is it not most unfair and
unjust to do so ? We regret to have to speak of
these things; but we must say that such conduct
is shameful and ridiculous. We advise officers to
select a paper in which to do their advertising, pay
the regular rates, and not to think of speculating
in their office at the expense oi the honest people
of tlie country.”
The Right Spirit.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
have unanimously, through Mr. Mason, reported
the following resol chons:
Resolved, That American ships at sea, under our
flag, remain under the jurisdiction of the country
to which they belong, and therefore that any visi
tation or molestation is an infraction of the sover
ignty of the United States.
Resolved, That these aggressions demand such
unequivocal explanation as shall prevent their re
currence forever in future.
Resolved, That the Committee approves of the
action ot the Executive, and are prepared to re
commend such future legislation as circumstances
may require.
Cfias. Sumner Gone to Europe.
Mr. Charles Sumner, tlie senator who represents
the State of Massachusetts, has gone to Europe.—
Before his departure lie issued a valedictory “to
the people of Massachusetts,” in which he says he
did not resign his seat in the Senate because he
desired another “opportunity of exposing the hid
eous barbarism of slavery, now more than ever
transfused into the national government.” Mr.
Sumner, we trust, will find a more congenial politi
cal atmosphere on the other side ofthe water. He
is certainly not satisfied with ou. government;
and we confess to a little surprise that he should
longer remain in the Senate. It must be exceed
ingly disagreeable for Mr. Sumner to associate with
“the barbarians” from the South ; and it is not at
all improbable that the latter gentlemen do not find
Mr. Sutnner the most delightful companion in the
world. Mr. Sumner will feel better when he gets
to Europe, and it will be a satisfaction to him to
know that his absence will not be regretted.—

Washington States, June 3d.
Douglas’ New Measure of Protection and Redress.
Senator Douglas this morning introduced a bill
to revive and put in force the act of the 3d of
March, 1839, in relation to the North Eastern
Boundary, with such modifications as make it ap
plicable to the present controversy in regard to the
right of search and visitation.
The bill thus revived puts at the disposal of the
President, to be used when necessary to resist the
unjust claims of Great Britain, the naval and mil
itia ofthe United States; authorizes him to call
into service fifty thousand volunteers, or so much
thereof as may be necessary ; and also appropri
ates and puts at his disposal $10,000,000, with the
right to borrow tlie same. It also authorizes the
President, if he thinks it necessary, to send a spec
ial ambassador to Great Britain. The act to con
tinue in force for sixty days after the next meeting
of Congress.
The bill introduced by Mr. Douglas confers all
these powers, in the precise language of the act
of 1839, except that it strikes out “boundary,” and
inserts “visitation and right ofsearch” in lieu of it,
with one or two verbal alterations.
The act of 3d March, 1839, which it thus oppor
tunely proposed to revive, passed the Senate, on
motion of Mr. Buchanan, by a unanimous vote up
on the yeas and nays , the names of Benton, Buch
anan, Calhoun, Clay, Crittenden, Webster, and
others, being recorded in its favor. In the House
of Representatives, the same bill passed by a vote
of 197 in the affirmative, and six in the nega
tive.
The proposition now is therefore, to vest in
President Buchanan the same power and discre
tion which were awarded nineteen years ago to
President Van Buren with such extraordinary una
nimity, and which resulted in the establishment of
a cordial peace and a restoration of fraternal feel
ings. a m
The editor of the New Orleans True Delta,
whose prominence in the late Vigilance Commit
tee movement in New Orleans, has made him pe
culiarly obnoxious to the Thugs of that city, thus
speaks of the effects already discernible from the
organization of the committee:
“Order Reigns in Warsaw.”— We organized
ourselves into a small but efficient company of
rangers last night, between ten and eleven o’clock,
and marched around town through the usually
most stiring portions, and about in those precincts
where the Thugs usually most do congregate,
brought together by the attractions of five-cent
groggeries, and a desire to hatch schemes of out
rage and assassination. Our perigrintions were
unrewarded by any thing approaching to an item
save this of stating that the quiet and order which
reigned was most striking. We did not even see
one disreputable character. The barkeepers were
dozing over their counters or had closed their
rooms. The most perfect propriety reigned. We
imagined that abont that time all the Thugs who
had any baggage were packihg it up preparatory
to commencing their travels in searclt oi a more
congenial climate at‘the shortest notice; a good
many, we imagined, were just then very busy try
ing to steal skiffs to transport their precious per
sons across the river ; a good many, we imagined,
were snugly stowed away in well selected places
of concealment, whence they will be hunted out by
the Vigilants like wolves from their dens ; and all,
we did’nt imagine, but knew, were “shaking in
their boots”—those who had boots to shake in, and
those who did’nt did some good shaking barefoot.
Many a Thug had a fearful presentiment last night,
thata wholehide was a luxury that he wouldn’t
enjoy more than twenty-four hours longer. Ver-
ily, the diesiic of the Thugs has come at last—the
“days of wrath” have burst upon them.
New Party. —A movement is in progress, it is
said, at Washington, contemplating the co-opera
tion of all the opposition elements to the Adminis
tration in the name of the People’s Party of the
Union. The main features of the proposed organ
ization are the ignoring of all questions productive
of sectional strife ; the protection of popular rights
a judicious system ot internal improvements; a
settled and firm foreign policy: prevention of the
landing of foreign criminals and paupers; the pro
tection of the ballot-box, and an extended period of
residence after naturalization as a condition to the
exercise of the elective franchise; the fostering of
American genius and art; and that every Territory
rising into a State should have a constitution and
laws framed by citizens of the United States who
are permanent inhabitants, under such rules as
Congress may prescribe
pgr* The Richmond Whig and several other
Southern papers, are advocating the building up
of anew party to put down both the Black Re
publican and Democratic parties. Its plan is a
good one, remarks the Nashville Union, if it can be
carried out. It expects Democrats to join in order
to put down the Black Republicans, and the Black
Republicans to join in order to put down the Dem
ocrats ; and thus Black Republicans and Demo
crats are to fraternize together to put down Black
Republicans and Democrats. What a wonderful
party this would be. It reminds us of those sing
nificant lines of a forgotten poet :
“Big fleas have little fleas,
And these have fleas to bite ’em ;
These fleas have lesser fleas,
And so, ad infinitum .”
Mississippian State Gazette.
[3P” Judge Douglas, of Illinois, on Monday
last, introduced into the Senate a bill to restrain
and redress outrages upon the flag and citizens of
the United States. The bill provides that “in case
of flagrant violation „of the laws of nations by
outrage upon the flag, soil or citizens of tlie Uni
ted States, or upon their property, under circum
stances requiring prompt redress, and when, in
the opinion of the President, delay would be in
compatible with the honor and dignity of the Re
public, the President is hereby authorized to em
ploy such force as he may deem necessary to pre
vo,,t ti.o poifjcuiiiiuu ui‘ such outrages, and to ob
tain just redress and satisfaction for the same,
when perpetrated ; and it shall be his duty to lay
the facts of each case, together with the reasons
for his action in the premises, before Coegress, at
the earliest practicable moment, for such farther
action thereon as Congress may direct,”
Hon. W. L. Yancey, in his speech in favor of
reviving the slave trade, delivered at the late Mont
gomery (Alabama) Convention, uttered the follow
iug sentiment:
“He did not love every section of his country
equally. A man who knew no North, South, East
or West, but was for the Union, was for the spoils
without reference to the rights of the people’ His
the speaker’s—first love was for those nearest him,
if he had any left, then it was for his neighbor;
whom he was directed to love as himself, and he
would try to do so, if he would permit him. When
justice is done to ourselves, our next care should
be to see that we did no injustice to others.”
Judge Taney. —The Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press says:
The rumor of the resignation of Chief Justice
Taney is again revived, and a number of names
are suggested in connection with the vacancy.
Some of your jurists will doubtless be looking for
ward to this, of all the judicial positions the most
desirable. The venerable chief, beloved and re
vered by all parties, is unquestionably more leeble
than usual, and, although as clear in his intellect
almost as he has ever been, is known to look to re
pose and retirement. You may be well assured
that there is some ground for the rumor that he
contemplates a separation from the Supreme Court.
Attorney General Black, Justice Ellis Lewis, Re
verdy Johnson, James A. Bayard, are all canvass
ed in connection with the position.
Senator llayne on the Bank of his State.—
We extract the following remarksof Senator Hayne
of South Carolina, from a debate in the Senate on
the 24th ult., in which reference was made to the
banks of his State, and the action of its legislature
in relation to those which suspended during the
last winter:
“Mr. Hayne—Not altogether Here let me say
a very few words, with the Senator’s permission.
I think the cause of our stopping was that we had
a Bank ofthe State of South Carolina that has not
a shadow of responsibility attached to it. It is
the people’s bank; the capital is owned by the State
government, and it is public property, to be stolen
and speculated upon, and that bank had accommo
dated almost every person in the community that
was not well off; and when the crisis came, she
went by the board first. If she could have stood,
there would not have been a single bank in the
State of South Carolina that would have suspen
ded.” __
Mad’i.lf. Titiens. —This lady now, the brightest
star of the musical stage, is a native of Hamburg,
but of Hungarian extraction, and descended from
a noble family. She was boin in 1834, and is thus
in her 24th year. Like most great musical artists
she showed a disposition for the art at an early
age, and, after having received instruction from
an eminent Italian master, she appeared on the
Hamburg stage at fifteen. Her outset in life was
romantic. A young man of considerable fortune
fell in love with her and sought her hand; but
her unconquerable attachment to the stage led her
to reject his addresses. Her guardian (her father
was then dead) used ail his authority and influ.
ence to get to withdraw from the stage, and a sort
of compromise was made that she should do so
for twelve months at all events, to return to the
stage at the end of that time should her inclina
tion for it continue unabated. At the end of nine
months her love of her art prevailed : she return
ed to the stage, sacrificing to it her domestic pros
pects. While performing at Hamburg she was
seen and heard by the directors of tlie Opera of
Frankfort-on-the-Maine, who immediately engag
ed her. At Frankfort she appeared in the great
parts which have since rendered her famous. Her
growing celebrity attracted the attention of the di
rector of the Imperial Theatre at Vienna, with
whom she entered into an engagement for three
years, of which one year is yet to run, her present
visit to London being on acongetor a limited time.
At Vienna she soon rose to the height of public
favor, and was on the point of renewing her en
gagement with the direction of the Imperial Thea
tre, when Mr. Lumley, arriving at Vienna at a
critical time, was enabled to make her a more eli
gible proposal, and to secure her for her Majesty’s
Theatre.
Eccentricities of Genius. —The recent suicide
of Herbert shows (as a Richmond cotemporary
well remarks) that great intellectual development
is not generally accompanied by a well-balanced
character. Thackeray, in his lecture on Swift, af
ter paying homage to his vast genius, asks signif
icantly ; “But would you have liked to five with
him?” Indeed, every lecture ofthe great satirist
upon the eminent humorists of England shows us
that a man may be a great author, or a fine poet,
or a magnificent writer, and yet, as a man, be small,
selfish, and utterly unworthy the repect and con
fidence of his fellows. The most popular novelist
of the age, Charles Dickens, whose pages are so
sparkling and delightful, whose sentiments are so
pure and noble, is personally, pretentions, syco
phantic, and what is more important, deficient in
the great virtue of truth, as his notes on America
abundantly prove. Dr. Mackay, the really charm
ing poet, who has lately visited the South, has just
given us a touch of his moral quality in the London
Illustrated News; and Sir Edward L. Bulwer, who
describes virtue so beautifully in his more recent
P. H. COLQUITT, Editor.
novels, has exhibit and a degree of brutal selfishness
and inhumanity to his wife that would disgrace a
London coal-heaver.— Washington News.
Another Freshet in the West. —A tele
graphic dispatch to the Nashville papers, dated at
Cincinnati, May 26th, states the heaviest rain ever
known, fell in that region the previous night, and
continued raining for about twelve hours. The
river and creeks were rising with frightful rapidity
—railway bridges had been carried off in all direc
tions, and the Ohio had risen nine feet within the
last twelve hours.
A dispatch from St. Louis, on the 25th of May,
states that the river there had risen about five feet,
and was then three feet higher than at any former
time this spring. The dispatch adds, “all the up
per streams are rising, and the upper Mississippi
rapidly.”
A dispatch from Memphis, on the 25th, states
that the river is rising at that point, and was with
in fifteen inches of the highest point attained by
the late rise.
For the last two months the western and south
western section of the Union has been visited by
storms and inundations unprecedented in our his
tory. The loss is beyond computation.
Affair of Honor. —A correspondent of the
Canton (Miss.) Citizen, writing from New Orleans
gets off the following hit:
It is stated, that another “affair of honor” was
stopped by the timely interposition of friends, be
tween a newsboy and a Dutch rag picker. It is
darkly hinted that the affair is only temporarily
postponed, not abandoned. The conflicting state
ments of the respective friends of the belligerent
parties, render it extremely difficult to arrive at
the real origin of this lamentable difficulty. But it
seems that in the pursuit of his arduous duties,the
itinerent collector of abandoned scraps, laid his ir-
hook, in an unlucky moment, upon a bun
dle of newspapers, which the vender thereoi had
placed upon the curbstone during a temporary en
gagement in hostilities with a rival in trade. The
Dutchman at once resigned the wares, on the de
mand of the real owner, alleging, in excuse, that the
dirty appearance of the papers led him to believe
that they weresubjects in his lawful domain,and that,
lie had no intention of trespassing upon the prop
erty of another gentleman. This excuse, although
well and honestly meant, no doubt, conveyed a
disparaging estimate of his property, which no hon
<,~u“ “‘ “■“‘’-y onuld bo expected to permit to pass
unnoticed, and hence 4he .r „„tes ne
tween the parties, which has created such a pro
found sensation in the clubs and among the select
circles to which they belong. It is much to be de
plored that valuable members of the community
should be so reckless of their livps. What if the
gentleman did, in a hasty moment, declare that the
newspapers were “tirty,” should not an admission
on his part that, on further examination he discov
ered that they were only “slightly soiled,” be suffi
cient to justify the withdrawal the harsh and offen
sive epithets, that he was a “bloody, blundering
son of a sea-cock,” applied to him by his adversa
ry? I think so. But Mynheer stoutly maintains,
and in this he is backed by his friends, that noth
ing less than a written admission of the erroneous
ness of the assertion which assigned a quasi marine
character to the avocation of his respected progeni
tor, will satisfy his wounded honor.
Celestial. —An astronomical writer, thus de
scribes some of the wonders of tlie heavens, now
visible :
“That ruddy luminary now visible in the south
erly section of the heavens every fair evening—
—that red cornelian of the sky—is the veritable
planet Mars. He is not far, in apparent position,
from the constellation Scorpio. His distance from
us, as he completes his circuit every twenty-two
months, varies from about 240 million miles to fifty
millions. This variation in distance occasions of
course a diversity in his apparent size. When
nearest to us, he appears somewhat as at present
—large, glowing, brilliant, and some twenty-five
times larger than when farthest from us. At his
remote extreme, he is hardly notices hie as an or
dinary star. His diameter is 4,200 miles. He
presents to the good telescopic eye, spots on his
full orbed surface, which have declared the fact
and the period of his axial rotation. His orbitual
speed is about fifty five thousand miles an hour. —
He was in opposition to the sun nearly three
weeks since. Mars is an object now worthy of
more than a mere cursory glance.
Give him an attentive look; and after having
satisfied your eyes with his rubric rays, turn to
wards the west, and view the silvery Venus, now
in her crescent phase. These two planets are
sometimes in conjunction ; and, perhaps thence
arose the fable of autiq ity respecting the rude
conduct of the fiery god Mars and the beautiful
goddess Venus.
Religion at Home. —“ Let them learn first,”
says Paul, “to show piety at home.” Religion be
gins in tiie family. One of tlie holiest sanctuaries
on earth is home. The family altar is more ven
erable than any altar in the cathedral. Ed
ucation of the soul for eternity begins by the
fire side. The principle of love, which is to be
carried through the Universe, is first unfolded in
the family.
“I do not allow my religion to interfere with my
business,” was very honestly uttered, not a thou
sand years since. Such a rule of life in a model
professor will block the influence of many a pray
er with the ungodly.
A Magnanimous Husband. —Not long since, a
widow, one of thofee whom we are in the habit of
calling well preserved, by the name of Madam
II , yielding to the ardent solicitations of
one of the young literary men of Paris, married
him. On returning from the church and the may
or’s office, the lady took her husband aside, and
said. “Pardon me, my dear, for I have deceived
yon:”—“In what ?” said the young man of letters,
much troubled. “I told you that I had 200,000
francs, and .”—“Well, and you have not?
Never mind ; it’s all the same to me.” “No that
is not it exactly ; I have two millions!”—the hus
band forgave her.
An Irishman was challenged to fight a duel,
but declined on the plea that he did not want to
leave his mother an orphan.
Few persons have any idea of the extent of busi
ness in the Dead Letter Office. During a single
year, in addition to $50,000 in money returned to
its lawful owners, there have been found in the
letters and restored drafts, checks and some other
valuable papers amounting to three and a half mils
lions of dollars.
To Destroy Flies —To one pint of milk add a
quarter of a pound of raw sugar and two ounces
of ground pepper. Simmer them together for eight
or ten minutes, and place it about in shallow dish
es. The flies attack it greedily, and in a few mo
ments are suffocated. By this method, kitchens,
etc., mav be kept clear flies all summer, without
the danger attending poison.
The sun is called masculine, from its supporting
and sustaining the moon, and finding her the
wherewithal to shine always as she does of anight
and from his being obliged to keep such a family of
stars. The moon is feminine because she is con
stantly changing. The church is feminine because
she is married to the State, and time is masculine
because he is so otten trifled with by the ladies.—
Punch.
Who Pops the Question in Cabot..— A most
extraordinary’ custom prevails among the Vizees
a powerful tribe occupying an extensive district
in Cabul. among the mountains between Persia
and India. The women chose their husbands and
not the husbands their wives. If a woman be
pleased with a man she sends the drummer ofthe
camp to pin a handkerchief to hits cap with a pin
which she has used to fasten her hair. The man
is obliged to marry her| if he can pay her price to
her father.
