“THE UNION OF THE STATES AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES.’’
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17, 1858
GENTLE WORDS.
A young rose in the summer lime,
D beautiful to me,
And glorious the many stars
That glimmer on the sea;
But gentle words and loving hearts,
And hands to clasp my own,
Are heller than the brightest flowers.
Or stars that ever shown.
The sun mav warm the grass to life,
The dew the drooping tlower,
And eyes grow bright and watch the light
Os autumn’s opening hour;
But words that breathe of tenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
Are warmer than the summer time.
And brighter than the dew.
It is not much the world can give,
With all its subtle art,
And gold or gems are not the things
To satisfy the heart,
Bui O, if those who cluster round
The altar and the hearth,
Have gentio words and loving smiles,
How beautiful is earth.
Judge Douglas’ Deniocrary.
The Washington Union ihus concludes an able
articlejn reference to Judge Douglas.
he may, refine and special
plead as he may, The country and the democratic
party cannot be deceived by him. He has resisted
the consummation of his own “great measure.”—
He lias denounced its steadfast supporiers as men
of honor and the perpetrators of fraud. He has
joined Seward, Hale, Wade, and Trumbull, the
veteran opponents of his “great measure,” in mak
ing war upon it, in defeating its application in
Kansas, ami in opposing and denouncing its sup
porters. He voted for and eulogizes the Crittenden-
Montgomery amendment, a measure supported by
the very men who instigated the emigrant aid
societies, and set on foot the non-voting proceed
ings in Kansas. He hopped upon the President’s
message in the Senate at the moment it had been
read, charging its author with committing a “fun
damental error,.’and “falsifying his pledges;” and
he concerts with the abolitionists through a whole
session of Congress movements to discredit a
democratic administration before the country, to
break dawn the leading test measure of the demo
cratic party, and baffle, cripple, and defeat its
organization. Ifto attack a democratic adminis
tration in his first speech, in his last speech and
in his every speeclt during a session of Congress;
if to oppose the democratic party in Congress in
it leading and test measure, be to desert his party,
Judge Douglas has deserted the democracy. Ifto
concert and affiliate with the abolitionists (hr a
whole winter in Congress ; to instigate its attacks,
open and covert, against the administration; to
advise its movements and to vo e for and eulogize
its measures, be desertion of the democratic party,
then is Judge Douglas a deserter from the demo
cratic organization.
In respect to the Kansas-Nebraska act and the
legal proceedings in Kansas which resulted in the
Lecompton constitution, the democratic adminis
tration —President, Vice President, and every cabi
net olficer, the unanimous democratic senators and
representatives from one section of the Union, and
a large majority of them from the other, are on
one side of the question ; and Judge Douglas with
the unanimous black-republicans on the other.- —
From this position, which he has maintained to
wards his party and its measures all winter, he lias
gone home denouncing its action in Congress, de
nouncing t he Lecompton bill. As to the English
bill, which meet the objection on which he planted
himself during the winter, lie refuses to be recon
ciled even by the concession to his own proposition
which it contains; and,determined to liud fault
with his party upon any measure it may propose,
trumps up anew objection to this bill, making war
upon his party on anew ground wholly different
from the one on which he assailed it in Congress.
Refusing to support a btil which lie confesses con
cedes his original objections, he will not even ac
quiesce in it; but assails it, ibr the want of better,
with objections borrowed from List black republican
allies.
Such is Mr. Douglas’s position. If he be in the
party, it is impossible to say who is not in it,or who
is not out. Ifhe be entitled to the countenance of
the party, then it is difficult to say what man in
the Union is not. The party which can overlook
conduct like his must have parted with all self-re
spect, all power and purpose to preserve its own in
tegrity, all capacity for present self-protection, all
expectation of a successful or honorable future, al!
concern for any future at all.
From the Mobile] Register.
Gidtllag* View of the Crittenden Amend
ment i
The following is an extract from an address is
sued to his constituents on his return from Wash
ington by the noted abolition congressman, Gid
dirtgs.of Ohio.
“The proposed amendment denied in the most
unmistakenbie language that Kansas was a slave i
State,as the President had ollicially asserted; it
placed him on the records of our country a falsi
fier of truth, and constituted an unqualified repu
diation of h;s avowed policy. Nor could we dis- ‘
guise the conviction that the friends of the Presi
dent in the Senate would never agree to the bid
when thus amended. They could only accept it
by au abandonment of the President, and of his
long cherished policy. All were conscious that
both the Executive and Democratic party were
under the control ot the slave power; and that
power demanded the unconditional admission of
Kansas as a slave State, and that several States
and many politicians were pledged to dissolve the
Union unless Kansas was unconditionally admitted
with her Lecompton Constitution. It was there
fore morally certain that adherence to the amend
ed bill by’ the House would constitute a defeat ot
the Executive and his party, and would prevent
the enactment of the Lecompton .Constitution into
a law.
“Ail clearly foresaw that every Iriend of the
President in the House and in Senate would
vote against the amended hill, and as we sup
posed, all who voted for the bill were solemn
ly pledged to adhere to it. We all saw that
to make Kansas a free State we must first defeat
the President’s efforts to make it a slave State.—
His project was before us, was forced upon us for
decision, and must be met and disposed of before
we could take the first step towards making Kan
sas free. And I speak not for myself, but I think
for nearly the entire Republican party in the House
of Rt presentatives, when I say that our object and
design in voting for the amendment was to defeat
the Senate bill; to defeat the Executive and slave
power in their efforts to make Kansas a slave
State. To avoid the defeat, every follower of lhe
President, both in the House and in the Senate, vo
ted against the amendment.
Such is the testimony of the veteran and uncom
promising Abolitionist leader as to the merits and
character of the Crittenden Amendment. And
this proposition, so zealously supported by the
Black Republicans, and shown to be so entirely
acceptable to the most ultra Abolitionist, is the
theme of ihe most extravagant eulogy with Sena
tor Douglas in his speeches in Illinois, whilst the
Conference act is equally the subject of his un
measured denunciation.
Hon. Jefferson Davis made a Doctor.
We see it stated that, at the recent commence
ment of Bowdoin College, Maine, the degree of L.
L. D. was conferred on the Hon. Win. Pitt Fessen
den, Senator from Maine, and on the Hon. Jeffer
son Davis, senator from Mississippi in the Congress
of the United Stales. Mr. Fessenden has been for
many years one of the leading Abolitionists of
Maine. That Mr. Davis should be honored by this
association of his name with Mr. Fessenden’s, in
the honor conferred by a college crammed full with
Abolitionists, is undoubtedly attributable to his late
Union speech at sea. An inveterate Union man in
the South may be a far more useful ally ol North
ern Abolitionism than Abolitionists themselves. —

The Army and Navy.
A correspondent calls our attention to an appa
rent misapprehension liable to be drawn from the
letter descriptive of the delivery of a letter to the
Chinese officials on the Pei-ho river, by certain na
val officers, as published in the Union of the sth
instant. The party was under the command of the
master of the Mississippi, Geo. Bacon, and consist
ed of Midshipmen Kelly, Mills, and Pritchett, and
Engineers Freeman, Bartieman, and Williams,
with three petty officers and one apprentice boy.—
Passed Assistant Surgeon D. B. Phillips, and As
sistant Surgeon P. S. Wales and First Lieut. Jacob
Reed, of the marines, accompanied Mr. Bacon by
invitation. A perusal oi the letter will explain
fully the part taken by Dr. Phillips, in offering sug
gestions to Mr. Bacon in accomplishing his pur
pose to deliver the letter. Dr. P. is a son of Cos!.
Wm. F. Phillips, late Sixth Auditor of the Treas
sury, and is spoken of by our correspondent as “a
gallant officer—an ornament alike to tiie navy and
to the medical profession.”
Commodore Stewart, of ihe navy, completed his
80th year of age on the 2§th ult., and, we are hap
py to add, is still in the enjoyment of good health,
vigor, and activity. He entered the navy a Lieut.
GO years ago last March.
Gen. Harney reached Fort Leavenworth on the
2d jnstant.
The following is an extract of a letter from an
officer on board the U. S. steamer Germantown,
dated Whampoa, China, May 17;
“YVe are now anchored in YV’hampoa harbor,
twelve miles from Canton, having arrived here
from Hong-Kong. Our boats are all out. armed,
provisioned, and otherwise prepared for an out
break, which is inomemtarily expected in the last
named city. The English are momentarily expec
ting an attack; and, in that event, the German
town and her officers are all ready to protect the
lives and property of American citizens doing busi
ness there.
“The Powhatan will relieve the steam-frigate
San Jacinto, which sailed for New York, via. Ba
tavia and the Cape of Good Hope on the 14th.
“The flag of Commodore Tatnall was transfer
red to to the Powhatan on the 13th, when the
usual salutes were fired. This fine ship, which
has been constantly on the move for the past five
months, will leave as soon as site completes load
ing. Her destination is supposed to be the northern
coast of China.”
Then and Now.
When Gov. Walker saw fit to recommend the
submission of the Kansas Constitution to a vote
of tiie whole people, there was heard along the
whole column of the “American” forces, one loud
long howl of agony—as if the demon of destruc
tion had put a knife into tiie very bowels of the
South—bemoaning most piteously the fate of
Southern Rights, and alternating with fierce and
fiery denunciation of the Democracy and the
President for not hurling Walker from,, his dan
gerous position. All that happened but a year
ago.
How is it now ! Mr Douglas, a Senator front
tiie State of Illinois; and Mr. Crittenden, a Sena
tor from ihe State of Kentucky, have advo
cated a policy in reference to Kansas more objec
tionable than that of Gov. Walker; and what do
we hear from the “American” Press ? Any “howl
of agony ? Any fiery denunciation of either of
these gentlemen ? No ! not a whisper. All is calm
and peaceful with them now. Why is it thus?
Why was Walker such a villain, and why is Crit
tenden suclt a saint ? The answer is plain. Crit
tenden is a Know Nothing, and Walker was a
Democrat. Know Nothings have sworn to defend
and support Know Nothings, at all times and un
der all circumstances; and doubtless have taken
another oath to denounce Democrats at ali times,
and under all circumstances.— Federal Union.
pg* Tiie Nashville Union says: The charge
against Humphrey Marshall and Mr. Crittenden, i
contained in the following paragraph from ihe j
Louisville Courier, is confiimed by a rumor prcv- j
lent in YVashingtori during- the paet winter, that I
both of these gentlemen (Crittenden and Marshall) j
were Lecompton men at the commencement of the
season, but, changed their position immediately af
ter the arrival of Prentice in Washington. There
was a proposition before Congress to construct a
canal on the Ohio river, opposite Louisville, which
would have operated injuriously to Louisville. It
was said that Marshall and Prentice bargained with
the Black Republicans that if they (the parties of
the second part) would assist in defeating this mea
sure, the parties of the first part would oppose the
Lecompton Constitution :
Humphrey Marshall in a Tight Place. —No one
who knows the representative to Congress from
this district, will be surprised to hear the following
statement, it is so entirely characteristic of the
man. The Lexington Statesman, of Saturday, 31st
ult., in referring to Hon. James B. Clay’s speech
at Cynthiana, makes the fcllowingsiartlingdevelop
ment. YVhat has Humphrey to say in regard to
it ? Is lie guilty or not guilty.
One fact, however, which Mr. Clay stated in his
speech we must repeat. He said it was known in
Washington last winter, in the early part of the
session of Congress, that Humphrey Marshall was
for admitting Ksrsas with the Lecompton Consti
tution; that he had prepared a speech on that
side, and was awaiting an opportunity to deliver it
before the House. Mr. Crittenden was understood
to hold the same ground with Marshall, when sud

The Duty of the Lawyer,
It is the received doctrine in this country, of late
years, we regret to have to write, that a lawyer
may honorably do and say things in defense or ad
vocacy of his client’s cause, which as a gentleman
he would scorn to do. Perhaps the pernicious sen
timents uttered by Lord Brougham on the subject
have done more than aught else to establish ti e as
cendancy of that reprehensible doctrint. Mr. Jus
tice Coleridge, who lately took leave ot the Court
(English) oi Queen’s Bench, whereof he occupied
a seat for more than forty years, in his valedictory
address held up the atrocity of the doctrine of
Brougham in this connection in so glaring a light
as to lead to the hope that his antidote may ac
complish something, at least, in the way of correc
ting the effect of the moral poison, which being
based on the unsound idea that the end justifies
the means, operates not only to make lawyers, but
all others who come under the influence of their
teachings, insincere and really untrustworthy men.
YVe may not be understood. as thus stigmatising
them ourself, but rather as urging that if it be true
that the lawyer may with propriety seek for the
benefit of his client, to make what he knows to be
the worse, appear to be the better cause, any other
man may, with like propriety, seek to deceive and
cheat in the prosecution of his business. Said
Mr, Justice Coleridge on the occasion referred to
above :
“These are not your severest trials,” refering to
the more familiar difficulties of the profession,
they are those which are most insidious; which be
set you., in|the ordinary path of your daily duty ;
those which spring from the excitement of contest,
from the love of intellectual display, and even
from an exaggerated sense of duty to your clients.
“Gentlemen, especially my younger friends suf
fer me, without offence, to put you on your guard
against these. YVe can well afford to bear iradi
tional pleasantries upon us front without, but we
cannot afford that underlying these there slum Id
exist among thoughtful persons the feeling that
our professional standard of honor is questionable
—that we, as advocates, will say and do in court
what we, as gentlemen, would scorn to do in the
common walks of life. Sometimes, I confess, it
seems to me that we lend support to such a feeling
by the lightness with which we impute ungener
. oils conduct or practices lo each other. Surely
no case is eo sacred, no client so dear, that ever
an ad vocaie should be called upon to Darter his
own self-respect. If that be our duty, our great
and glorious profession is no calling for a gentle
man.
Sale of Scrap Iron on the Railroad—Loss to the State
of $25,000
It will be remembered, that some time ago, the
present Superintendent of tiie State Railroad, sold
the oid Iron which had been, worn, broken, or oth
erwise become unfit for use at prices varying from
§22 to §2B per ton, according to our recollection,
which makes an average of, sav §25 per ton.
Now, the fact that this Iron could have been re
rolled by the mills in Atlanta, at a cost of 15 to
§2O per ton, and that in the processof re-rolling,
the loss in weight would not have been very great
—perhaps not more than one-tenth, if so much.—
And that when re-roiled, it would be perhaps bet
ter than it ever was, and wortli to the road at least
§75 per ton. The price which the Stale has been,
ipaying for Iron being made known to tiie people
it will be .een that this Scrap Iron, as it is called
was worth moreto the State than fifty dollars per
ton; and that it has been sold for about one half
of its true value; and that ihe loss is as much as
the sum for which the Iron was sold.
This is a specimen of the able and faithful finan
ciering of the present Superintendent.”
The above, which we copy from the Cartersviil
Express of the ltth inst., is a fair sample of that
opposition which is now being waged by this pa
per to the administration [of Gov, Brown and the
management of the YY’. & A. R. R., by Dr. Lewis.
It the calculations ot the writer were supported by
tacts, the people might conclude that there was
manifest weakness in the act of selling the worn
out iron of the road, and, therefore, might, with
some justice, visit upon tiie Governor ami Super
intendent, the charge of ignorance and folly. But
siuce an investigation of tiie facts shows beyond
doubt, that it is the editor of the Express who is
ignorant,and neither the Governor nor Superin
tendent, we hope this gentleman will be sufficient
ly magnanimous to plead guilty and cease his un
just assaults. lie says that the iron was sold at
an average of §25 per ion; that it could have been
re-rolied at from 15 to §2O per ton; that in the
process of re-roiiing, it would not have lust more
titan ten per cent, and that by tiie addition of
Irom 15 to §2O per ton, this iron might have been
rendered of tiie value of §75 per ton to tiie State,
lie also states that when the price that the Stale
iias been paying for iron is made known to the
people, this scrap iron, as it is called, will appear
to have been worth more than §SO per ton. There
fore lie concludes that it was sold for one-half its
value.
YVe admit tha he average price of iron sold
was §25 per ton, of 2,000 lbs., but so far from its
costing from 15 to §2O to have it re-rolled in At
anta, the average price for this is §3O per ton.—
The estimated loss or waste during the process of
re-rolling is 15 per cent. These estimates are cor
rect and will he sustained by at.y 4 one who has the
proper knowledge of the subject. Now let us see
how tiie Cartersville Express and our calculations
agree.
Average rate of sale pertonof2ooo lbs §25,00
“ cost of re-rolling, per ton, 35,00 ,
§50,00
Average loss per ton, at 15 percent, 8,25
Total, §03,25
Instead, therefore, of its having cost but §49,50
after being re-rolled as tiie Express supposes, it
would have cost §63 25 as shown by our esti
mate.
Now the Express stales that for 49,50 per ton,
including ihe price for which the old iron was
sold, it would have been increased to the value of
§75.00 io the State.
At present nett English iron can be purchased
in New York, at 42 per ton; with freight to Atlanta;
which is §9 per ton—we have the total cost—
§sl,oo. The ton purchased thus contains 2240,
making a difference 0f248 ibs., between each ton
of New Y’ork, and those sold by the Superintend
ent. The difference i-the result of a positive and
special contract between Dr. Lewis and Cot Coop
er, i lie purchaser of the old Iron. If we subtract
tiie price oi 240 pounds, from the price per ton of
2240 lbs laid down in Atlanta from New York, we
have 5,00. leaving tiie cost of 2000 lbs laid down
in Atlanta 40,00. Taking „the estimate of the
Express as correct it would cost the State three
dollars less to buy new iron than it would have
cost to have re-rolled tiie old iron, and taking ours
as correct, it [would have cost seventeen dollars
and twenty-five cents less per ton.
YVe aie credibly informed that at the time when
this sale of scrap iron was made, the rolling mill at
Atlanta, had suspended operations, and therefore
ihe process of re-roiling at that point was utterly
out of tiie question.
The sale was not effected until due notice had
been given; the same having not only been pub
lished at. home, hut in the Eastern cities, where
purchasers might most likely be found. A gen
tleman from Philadelphia was present on the day
of sale, and run the iron tip to the price which it
brought. Now if it was sold at half price it is
quite strange that this gentleman who came all the
way from Philadelphia to make the purchase, did
not bid more For it. Surely twelve thousand, five
hundred dollars would have been quite a hand
some profit, and this lie could have realized after
purchasing at thirty-seven thousand five hundred
dollars, if the estimate of the Cartersville Express
be correct.— Worth Georgia Times, duly ‘3oth,
1858.
Quitman and Freemasonry. The Mobile Mer
cury in sketcniiig the character and career of the
late Gen. Quitman, remarks:
There is yet another thread running through the
life of the statesman and the soldier which binds him
to many hearts all over the world. Quitman was
an ardent, enthusiastic Freemason, ami it is sta
ted Ihat when he was Governor of the city of
Mexico, there was found among the archives in
the National l’alace, a copy of the proceedings of
the Grand Lodge of Mississippi during the first
term of his Grand Mastership. Some twenty-nine
years ago, the Grand Consistory of the 32d De
gree ol ihe Sublime and Accepted Scotch Rite
was organized in the city of Natchez, with himself
as presiding officer, ihat time he was
recognized as the head of that branch of the Ma
sonic family in the Southwest. Shortly after his
relurn fiom the Mexican war, he was elected a
member of the Supreme Council of Sovereign
Grand Inspectors General of the 33d Degree at
Charleston, the highest Masonic dignity which
can be obtained. Probably there was only one
Masonic degree which he never received, conscien
tious scruples preventing him from entering the
order of Knights Templars.
Ex-President Pierce. —Correspondence from
YVashington states thatjlelters had been received
by la-t English steamer announcing the arrival of
Ex-President Pierce in Lisbon by the sailing pack
et Galgos on tiie 20th ult. His departure from
Madeira was the occasion of marked demonstrations
ol respect on the part of thejauthorities of the is
land. The Governor and lus suite escorted him
inthe government barge to the Galgos, which was
lying at some distance from the land, while an
imperial salute was fired from Loo Rock. The
natives of the island ferowded upon the shore to
witness the embarkation. At Lisbon the young
King had extended to him every desirable mark of
consideration, and from the inhabitants he had
received invations of hospitably and respect, all of
which the health of Mr. Pierce had him
to decline Gen. Pierce was intending on the 2d of
Jmy to take the French steamer to Marseilles ;
thence immediately to Switzerland, where he and
Mrs. Pierce will spend the summer.

The editor of the Harrisburg Telegraph is in
formed of a singular adventure which occuted on
the passenger train of cats arriving at Harrisburg
Irom th“ East, orr Saturday evening last. In one
of the cars a young gentleman was seated, appar
ently deeply occupied in reading a book lie held
in his hand, until he got to Lancaster. At this
place a very handsome young lady entered the
cars and took her seat opposite to him. Before
they had been long in the train, the eyes of both
met, and they recognized one another as old ac
quaintances when very young, having been sepa
rated by their parents moving apart—those “of one
to the West, and the other to Philadelphia. The
two soon became enrapt in earnest conversation,
fell ardently in love with one another, and by the
time they arrived at Harrisburg, had resolved to be
united as man and wife and travel on their jour
ney to the lady’s home together. Accordingly
they took lodgings at a hotel, [sent forla minister,
and were united in tiie bonds of connubial bliss,
and taking the next train, were off.on tlieii bridal
tour. Tiie Telegraph’s informant says he is ac
quainted with the parties, and that they both occu
py high positions in society.

Yes, young man, save it. Put it in a safe place
and add to it often. YVe refer to the hall dime you
were on the point of exchanging for a “drink.”
Get a stout box made, and whenever you are

to its musical jingle. Ah ! you have no idea
how three cent bits, and half dimes and quarters
count up. But try this savings bank for a year,
and then count your coin, and you will learn l ow
much money you might have wasted. And not
only wasted money but time—precious priceless
time and formed habits ol idleness and dissipation
which clings to the unfortunate possessor as the
fabled poisonous shirt of Nessus clung to him

man, and your leisure hours [at home with your
mother and sisters, occupy yourself with earnest
and judicious study, and instead of being a hewer
ot wood and a drawer of water, you will stand a
chance of taking rank with the great, prospered

Recipes for Ladies.
Rolled YVtteat for Desert. —Pick over and
wash a white wheat, boil it tour hours, pul
in salt tiie same as for rice; refill with boiling
water, if more is needed ;”stir often the last hour,
being careful not to let it burn ; -ook it dry. Some
times it looks starchy when first dished, but that
soon disappears. Serve hot or cold, with sweet
ened sweet cream. This we think an excellent
desert, and very fine for invalids.
Another very rich dish for desert can be made ol
a pint of wheat, cooked like tiie above ; then boil in
a quart of sweet milit, one cup of sugar, one cup
of raisins, currants or any fruit, (raisins ate pre
ferable,) two beaten I 'eggs; cook slowly and stir
until it boils; serve cold or hot, without sauce.—
Or, after tiie wheat is washed, soak it in warm wa
ter overnight, keep it wet till time for use, then
simmer the water out of it; then add the milk and
other ingredients, and cook above.
Preserving Butter. —The farmers of Aber
deen, Scotland, are said to practice] the following
method for curing their butter, which gives it a
great superiority over that of their neighbors :
“Fake two quarts of the best; common sail, one
ounce ofsugar, and, one of saltpetre; hike one
ounce of this composition for one pound ofbulter ;
vvork well into the mass and close it up for use.—
The butter cured with this mixture appears of rich
and marrowy substance and fine color, and ac
quires a little hardnes. Dr. Anderson says: ‘I
have eaten the butter cured with the above’com
position that has been kept for four years, audit
was as sweet as at first.’ It oiust be noted, how
ever, that- butter that is Ihns cured requires to
stand three weeks ora mouth before it is used.—
If it is sooner opened, the salt is not* sufficiently
blended with it, and sometimes the coolnes ot the
nitre will be preceived, which totally disappears
afterwards.”
Blackberry Brandy. —The most'singular sub
stance submitted to our editorial inspection lately
is a bottle of brandy, made by Dr. Teague, of this
village, of blackberries. It is a limpid, colorless
liquid, of most agreeable odor and highly pungent
taste. It seems to be a decidedly better brandy
than that made oi the peach, and there is no mor
difficulty in its manufacture. It may be that the
blackberry will yet become one ofour most valuae
ble natural productions. In itself, it is a healthful,
almost a medicinal berry. The cordial and jams
made of it are thought worthy ofa place among the
various preparations ofthe medical dispensary; and
we do not see why blackberry brandy shnold not
also become a most useful well as very genial
drink. YY'e trust our enterprising friend will push
the matter on to success. He might thus perhaps
inaike an era in the history siimulatiiig beverages.
As at present tested, a bushel of blackberries will
make lull half gallon of first-ra’e liquor, without
the foreign aid of strvehnine, o any other poi
sonous agent.— Edgefield Adieru.- r. ’

Terrible Death of a Child by Hydrophobia—Bitten by
a Cat,
1 Tiie Peoria (III..) Transcript gives an account
of the death, by hydrophobia, of a very interesting
cliild, the daughter of Mr. Ileury S. YY'ooder, of
Mount Hawley, six miles from that city, between
eight and nine years of age, on Friday morning
last. The following are the particulars:
On Tuesday of last week, Sirah Ellen returned
from school, and complained of feeling unwell, so
much so that she did not attend on ihe following
day, although still able to be about the house.
Thursday she was no better, and her parents think
ing she was threatened with the typhoid fever, sent
for Dr. Murphy, of tills city. The Doctor arrived
there about 2 o’clock in tiie afternoon, and found
her sitting upon ihe sofa at the side of her mother,
to ali appearances in perlect health ; her pulse,
however, was very irregular with an occasional
wildness in the eyes, and it was not long before
she gave a sudden start, and placing her hand
upon her throat exclaimed, “It troubles me to
breathe mother.”
Minute inquiries were now instituted, when tiie
fact was elicited wiiich had not bean previously
thought of, that some 5 weeks since she had been
bitten by a domesticated cat on the outside of her
loot. A glass of water was ordered to be brought
her, when the sight of it at once threw her into
terrible convulsions. This was at two o’clock in
the afternoon, and was the first intimation had by
her distracted parents of tiie terrible disease with
which their daughter was afflicted. Her agony
and struggles, in tiie spasms were awful to behold,
and in one of them she hit her mother severely in
the shoulder, and at another time, scratched the
father badly in the hand. In her spasmodic efforts,
the saliva from her mouth was at times ejected
across the room, and the only relief experienced
was by the it-e of chloroform, w hich, in the end,
seemed to lose al! efficacy. She remained all the
time in perfect possession of her faculties, and at
three o’clock on Friday morning, exactly 12 hours
from the attack of the first spasm, her spirit depar
ted io the God who gave it.
And now comes the most remarkable incident
connected with this hcartrendering affair. tSome
four hours previous to her death, ami soon after
one of tier most violent spasms, she told her moth
er t hat she had been visited by the spirit of her
sister, (thr* family are believers in Spiritualism,)
who left this earth for the belter and about one
year since, and that this sister had informed her of
certain remedies, which, if applied, would relieve
her sufferings and smooth her passage to the tomb.
The remedies were applied as soon as possible, and,
strange to reiaie, the. desired effect was produced.
She was freed from her convulsive fits, was ena
bled to breathe easier, converse freely with her pa
rents and friends, occasionally drinking a little wa
ter, and finally gently tailing into her last sleep.
Amalgamation Marriages in Boston. —The
Boston matrimonial register shows ihat during
the last year sixty amalgamation marriages took
place in that city; and strni ge to say, they were
white women with black or colored men. In no
instance has a white mail been registered as hav
ing taken to wife a colored woman. Tiie white
ladies of Boston and thereabouts hate singular
tastes; certainly they teem to relish black kisses
from all accounts, with peculiar gusto, and black or
colored husbands are becoming a Inglily popular
institution among them. Gan anything prove more
conclusively ihe growing degeneracy in point of
morality and decency, ol pious, proper New Eng
land, than this horrible fanaticism, which strikes at
the root of every tiling like purity, and tends to un
dermine the divine laws of nature? YVhen woman
—the safe guard of virtue and purity— stoops
thus to degrade herself, perverting the womanhord
within her, tiie degradation of man, as a necessary
consequence, must follow. —New York Despatch.
Reception of Humphrey Marshall. —The cere
monies upon the wharf, when Humphrey Marshall
put foot onshore, were very imposing. In behalf
of those upon whom the announcement in the
Journal had made a deep impression, Robert F.
Baird made a glorious speech. He took his stand
upon the wharf, and as the huge form of Humph
rey darkened his vision he lifted up his voice and
spoke as follows:
MR. Baird’s SPEECH.
“How are you, Colonel ?”
To this most touching and eloquent reception,
Humphrey made the following appropriate alid
fitting reply:
MR. MAIISHALLS REPLY.
“Ilow do you do, Bob?”
These beautiful speeches were taken down as
delivered, by our special phonographic reporter,
and they may he implicitly relied upon. So soon
as Mr. Marshall finished his reply, he got into a
carriage and drove to the Louisville Hotel, leaving
Mr. Baird to take care of himself. YY’e sent down
to the hotel soon afterwards to learn what was
going on, and Mr. Marshall was repoited in bed
and asleep.— Louisville Courier.
Increased Annual British Emigration to the
United States. —The annual report of the Brit
ish Emigration Commissioners, just published,
states the total emigration from the United King
dom for the past year to have been 212,875,51i0w
a moderate increase on the tw’o proceeding years,
but still falling off 126,949 from the average ofthe
four years from 1851 to 1854. The number of
emigrants who returned from the United States
during the year was 15,448, of whom 11,154 ar
rived in the last half of the year during the pro
gress of the commercial crisis. Last year the re
mittances Iro.n the United States by previous Irish
emigrants to enable their friends to join them,
amounted to only £ 94.165, while the average of
the proceeding ten years was about one million
sterling.
