FREEDOM FROM FEVER AND AGUE.
TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS:
THE
GRENADA ELIXIR,
OR
South American Antidote for Malaria !
fs u sure Cure unit Perfect Route to Ague aud Peter,
Chill and lever, Dumb Ague, and all Bilious Affic
lions !
IT has been thoroughly tested in thousands of cases,
some of years’ standing, where Quinine and all ihe
most popular remedies of the day had failed,out the Elixir
nas met with the most triumphant success; never failed to
cure the most obstinate cases. The unanimous testimony
of all who have used or witnessed its operations, declare
it to be the most extraordinary medicine ever discovered
for the quick and permanent cure of Fever and Ague.
It operates as a gentle Tonic and stimulant, gradually
but surely; eradicates every vestige of disease, and restores
the system to health and vigor. It imparts new vitality
to tlte blood, and will soon induce the glow of health to
return to the pale and swarthy complexion,
The advantage of this medicine therefore is, that a cure
must be radical and complete; not simply breaking the
Chill, by producing a “new impression” upon the nervous
system, without reference to the operations of tiift malari
ous poison, which is allowed to remain unchanged and
renew its attacks, immediately after tho nervous system
has ceased to feel the artificial disease—induced by Qui
nine and many other preparations genet ally resorted to.—
TheGREN ADA ELIXIR acts directly upon the Liver,
Stomach, Kineys, Pores of the Skin, and produces a rad
ical cure.
It contains no ingredient the least injurious to thesys
tem,and can be given to an infant with perfect safety.—
It is warranted to cure every case when taken as directed.
Ail who wed such a medicine, will do well to try the
Grenada Elixir. It is not only the best but the most eeo -
nomical medicine ever introduced lor Fever and Ague and
is a Southern Remedy.

• Our Girls.
Our girls they are pretty,
And gentle and witty,
As any the world ever knew—
Talk not about Spanish,
Circassian or Danish,
Or Greeks near their summer skies blue ;
But give me our lassies,
As fresh as tire grass is
When sprinkled with roses and dew.
Each lip like a blossom,
Each fair swelling bosom
As white as the high drifted snow—
With eyessottiy flashing
Like spring bubbles splashing
O’er hill rocks to valleys below ;
All smiling with beauty,
All doing their duty—
Where shall we lor lovelier go !
O, ours are the fairest.
The sweetest, the rarest.
The purest, lire fondest 1 seo —
Their hearts are the truest.
Their eyes are the bluest,
Their spirits so noble and free—
O, give me no other.
True love, sister, mother,
Our own are the chosen for me.
WRITTEN IN THE SANIJ.
Alone I walked on ihe ocean strand,
\ jreerlyshell was in my hanil;l
I stooped and wrote upon the sand
sly narfle, th ■ year the day,
As onward from the spot I passed.
One lingering look behind 1 cast,
A wave came rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away.
And so, methonght, ’twill quickly let
With every mark on earth with me 1
A wave of dark oblivion’s sea
Will sweep across tho place
Where I have trod the sandy shore
Os time, and been to he no more;
(>! me, my day, the name I bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And vet with him who counts the sands,
And holds the waters irt his hands,
I know a h sting record stands
Inscribed against my name,
Os all this mortal part has wrought,
OF all this thinking soul has thought,;
And from these 11-eting moments caught,
For glory or for shame.
Letter from the Hon. .lellcrsoii Davis.
His Speech on Hoard the Whitney.
We have received from the Jackson Mississippian, of
August 17th, tha following letter from lion. Jefferson Da
vis, which we take pleasure in laying before our readers—
a great admirer of this distinguished gentleman, it was
with much regret, that we warned our readers that the
llesh-pots of place, had seduced him from the paths of
States Rights and State Sovereignty. The meagre report
of his Speech which we saw, was capable of the construc
tion we gave it ; which was itone in that spirit and with
tho purity of motive, that induced Brutus to turn against
Ctcsar, bis best friend. Mr. Davis disclaims that his re
marks were designed to “imply a disavowal of tlie
doctrines winch he had always entertained touching States
Rights arid State remedies lor intolerable grievance ; or to
“cast reflection upon the political friends with whom it
lias ever been his pride to co-operate.” We make tlte
amende honorable and itope tlte States Rights democracy
will remember a true and hied leader at the proper time. —
Portland, Maine, Aug. 3d, 1858.
Mat. .las. Roach.—Dear Sir: I have just re
ceived your letter, and notice yotir comments in
relation to what I am reported to have said in
some remarks addressed to the passengers on
board the steamer Joseph Whitney, when they
were commemorating tlte anniversary of our Na
tional Independence. It is not true that I said
there,or elsewhere, that the Union never could be
dissolved. I have no such happy assurance, and
could only derive it from a conviction that frater
nity, and respect for tho Constitution would al
ways he supreme over fanaticism and sectional
ism.
There was no report of the speech. No notes
were taken. I was called upon to write out my
remarks, but declined, as neither my health, nor
existing circumstances, would permit me to make
the attempt. A sketch made from memory, by one
of the passengers was published iu the Boston
Post. Any intelligent reader will see that it is
ijuito meagre, and that the division by paragraph
is misplaced. The clause—“and this great coun
try will continue united,” belongs to what went
before, viz : tlrat though we should have domestic
quarrels on our hands, the foreign power who
should count upon our divisions as rendering us
i,liable to resist, aggression, would be disappointed
as shown in the position of the people in relation
to tlte recent outrages in the Gulf of Mexico.
What follows, suggests to mv mind when I read
it, anew train of thought, such as was presented
in tlte resolution of the States Rights Democratic
convention of 1851, when we announced separa
tion from the Union as a right to which we would
only recur when it became tlte last resort, and the
only remedy for evils which could not be borne.
Politicians who disregard or cannot seo tlte ben
efits of our Constitutional Union, and who for
some minor grievance of their own, or from a fa
i nntical spirit, and arrogant assumption to pluck
the mote from their brother’s eye, announce their
[ readiness to dissolve tire Union, do, in my opinion,
trille with a grave subject, and deserve rebuke from
| every reliecting citizen of the United Slates.
More than this, t am sum I could not havesaid,
and such 1 think is a fair interpretation of the
brief sketch given of my remarks, which were not
designed to imply a disavowal of the doctrines
which I have always entertained touching States
Rights, and State remedies tor intolerable griev
ance : nor to cast reflection upon the political
fiends with whom it lias ever been my pride to
co-opcrate.
Very truly your friend
’ JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Election of Mr. Vance.
Messrs. Editors: 1 have before me the Ashe
ville Spectator, and in it I find tlte following:
“Mr. Vance announced himself an independent
distribution candidate—tlte patty to which he had
belonged had ceased to exist as a national organi
zation.’’
What will the Register say to this ? VViil it not
denounce it as treason'! Is this the fruit of its
great know nothing whig American distribution
oppositi-.n triumph in the Mountain district 1 Say,
Messrs, Editors, can this be true?
I have before me the Asheville News also. In it
I see this:
“Mr. Vance, on many occasions, vehemently de
clared that be would support the administration of
Mr. Buchanan.”
If this be so, (and 1 presume there can he no
doubl of it,) what becomes of ail the bragging and
boasting ot the Register and its clique?
I learn that Mr. Vance approved throughout the
campaign ot Mr. Buchanan’s position on Lecotnp
ton, and disapproved Mr. Gilmer’s ote against the
Kansas constitution. Now, if all this be true, what
becomes of the Register’s denunciation of Messrs.
Miller, Kerr, Osborne, Steele, and others, who
have taken ground with the democratic party ?
If Mr. Vance redeems his pledges, will the Regis
ter and its clique open upon him also? I beg
you, gentlemen, to administer some better conso
lation to my friends Linn B. and Dr. Leach! —
Raleigh ( V. C.) Standard, Aug. 18.
Me. Gaidan’a Or ation.
In the Augusta Dispatch—the editor of which
was present and heard it—we find the following
complimentary notice of Mr. Gordon’s beautiful
oration'before the Literary Societies of Franklin
College, at the late Commencement:
“Tlte closing and crowning feature of tlte week,
was the address before the two Societies, by
George A, Gordon, Esq., of Savannah. His theme
was, tlte Cultivation ot Literary taste not incom
patible with the practical duties of life. YVe are
incapable of doing justice to this ‘address, without
appearing to indulge exaggerated praise. His il
lustrations were elegant and forcible, tinted with
classical allusion and abounding in the happiest
pictures from every day life. Chaste and pure in
style, lofty and yet practical in sentiment, this ef
fort alone entitles the young orator to a place
among the most gifted and accomplished speakers
of the times. The oldest gentlemen present assert
ed that they had never heard a similar p-oduction
of as much merit. This is a solid compliment of
more value than our mere opinion.”
Douglas—His Early Days iu Illinois.
Tlte earnestness of Senator Douglas’ appeal to
his constituents, says the Nashville “Banner” and
the confidence with which he challenges an inves
tigation into his official conduct are enough to con
vince almost any man of itis honesty as a politic
ian. We may hereafter be compelled to deal the
Little Giant some blows, and we shall do it with a
will whenever the occasion requires it. But we
cannot withhold our admiration of tlte manner in
which he is conducting Itis present canvass. It
is a pity that suclt a matt should have been a dem
ocrat. He met his constituents at Winchester,
111., a few days ago. The numbers present were
several thousand. In the course of his address,
as we learn from the correspondence of a cotem
porary, he recurs to an eloquent and thrilling re
miniscence, and its effect will he felt by everyone
who reads it. Tlte correspondent says:
“The commencement of Sir. Douglas’ speech
was very appropriate and well spoken. He said
if there was one plane that he had a right to claim
as his home more than any other in Illinois, it was
that place. Twenty-five years ago, said he, a poor
boy, with his coat upon Itis arm, without an ac
quaintance in the State, and without a dollar in his
pocket, entered this town. Here he earned itis
lirst six dollars ; here he first learned lo depend
upon himself for a livelihood. You were the lirst
to assist him, and take him by the hand. After
twenty five years have past, after many changes
have taken place, that boy again returns to you,
to thank you for your former kindness, and the
high trusts and honors you have conferred upon
him, and to ask you if he has yet done anything to
incur your censure; if he has violated the trusts
you reposed in him.
“We have no hope of being able to give you the
words of the speaker, and the jeeling produced ; it
is only lire idea we aim at.
“When Mr. D. came to a pause after speakin:
as above, an old gray headed man, who had known
him in those former times, raised up in front of
tlte speaker’s stand and very earnestly said, ‘Ste
phen, you’ll be President yet.” Said Mr. D:, “My
old friend says I’ll be President yet; but I tell him
and all my hearers, that if it requires any sacrifice
of principle on my pari, if I am expected to act
contrary to my own judgment, in order to secure
that office, then 1 would au hundred times over
scorn to accept it. In the words of Kentucky’s no
ble son, the immortal Clay, “I would rather be
right than be President.’”
| From the Auburn Gazette.]
Hon. Mr. Yancey.
.Mr. Yancey is filling a large space in be pub
lic mind. The theory of opinion as to his intel
lect has grown into the absolutism of fact. Upon
his brow is set the seal ol greatness, fell and “ac
knowledged by all men arid parties. No man in
the South, without the aid of executive influence,
has risen so high in public estimation. Ho has
driven himself unaided by friends, or fortune, or
the prestige of family, distinction, to a most com
manding position in the eye of rite nation, by his
own giant intellect. The press at Washington
city, at New York, and in all the great Northern
anil Southern cities, speak of him as a power in
the South. The Southern heart feels stronger and
swells with higher aspiration under his leadership,
while the Northern heart tremb'es in its aggres
sive movements.
The Fire at Hie Nerv York City Hall.
The fire commenced in the cupola of the New
York City Hall, and was discovered shortly after Id
o’clock en Wednesday morning. It burst out in a ter
rific volume, and in a short time the whole of the
magnificent cupola, from the base up to the stat
ute of the Goddess of Justice, was enveloped in a
fiery shroud. It originated directly in the spot
where a large quantity of fireworks had been star
ted during the day.
A general alarm was rung, ami [the Park was
soon full of firemen, with their machines, and
large numbers of excited citizens.
The firemen found it impossible to bring water
to bear on the cupola. Only one engine was
sufficiently powerful to play upon the clock tower,
and before that could be got to work the whole
structure was in a bright blaze.
As the fire made headway, it attached a num
ber of fireworks which had been left on the roof,
and rockets and roman candles leant a strange
brilliancy to the interesting spectacle ol the con
flagration.
By one o’clock the cupola fell, at which time
the roof gave way,and tue fire hurst in huge vol
canoes ol flame from the windows of the cham
bers immediately above the Governor's room.
The scene at this time was awfully grand. A
sea of up-turned faces, illumined by tlte glare of
the conflagration, was visible as tar as the eye
could reach ; and high up above their heads was
another multitude, roused from their slumbers,
peopling the windows of the Astor Honse and
other hotels in the neighborhood.
By 1 o’clock tlte flames were pretty well ex
tinguished. The loss by fire and water through
out the entire building will amount (says the N. Y.
Journal of Commerce) to over $23,000. The in
jury to furniture in tlte Governor’s room and oth
er portions of the building, is estimated a* 82,000;
and tlte damage on the building ! f ’,ooo. The
centre room oftho Governor': ii/mrtm tus was the
only one damaged by fire, bu; ah im pictures which
adorned the walls were safer, got out and carried
into the chamber of the Board of Aldermen and
Mayor’s office. One or two were slightly damaged
by water.
The large sheet copper-statue of Washington
was safely removed, also his writing-desk, which
he used in 1789. The county clerk’s office was
damaged slightly by water. The library-room,
the Mayor’s office, the Clerk’s Office of the Court
of Common k Pleas were somewhat damaged by
water, but not to a serious extent. The store
rooms in the upper-story of the building, where
nearly all the public documents of the Common
Council had been piled away for years past, were
mostly destroyed. It is said that about one-half
of them will be a total loss.
Thg Councilman's Chamber, as well as the
Supervisors’ room, was also uninjured. The rooms
have just been refitted and painted.
The clocks throughout the building all stopped,
and several of them are a aid to be ruined by water.
The City Hall bell stood the flames, and is said not
to have been injured iu the least.
Watermelon Juice. —A correspondent of the
Prairie Farmer, presents the following method of
using water-melons:
“I endeavor every year to raise a watermelon
patch. They are a healthy and delightful fruit I
think. When they commence ripening, we be
gin cutting and use them freely during the hot
weather. When tlte weather becomes codi in
September, we haul a quantity of them to the
house, split them open with a spoon, scrape out
the pulp into a cullender, and strain the water in
to vessels. We boil it in an iron vessel into syrup
then put in apples or peaches, like making apple
butter, and boil slowly until the fruit is weii cook
ed; then spice to taste, and you have something
most people will prefer lo apple bu'ter, or any
kind of preserves. Or the syrup may be boiled
without fruit down to Molassos, which will be
found to be as fine as the best sugar house molas
ses. We made, of a fall as much as ten gallons
of the apple butter, if 1 may so call it. and molas- j
ses which lias kept in fine condition until May,
One of the deacons of a certain church asked the
bishop if he usually ‘kissed the bride at weddings?’
‘Always,’ was the reply.
‘And liow do you manage when tho happy pair
are negroes?’ was the next question.
‘ln all such cases,’ replied the bishop, ‘the duty
of kissing is appointed to the deacons.’

Weather anti Crojis.
The weather for the last few days has ranged
at a lower temperature than during the preceeding
two or thrye weeks. Yet, in the immediate vicini
ty, Hie cotton crop is suitering very materially from
drouth.
Great complaint s are made of the injury which
the cotton is sustaining, from “shedding rust”, and
boll worm. Many assert positively that their crop
is already shortened one half. If the influences
now at work on the crop continue there can be
no doubt as to the result in this section. Our
planters are very much “down in the mouth.”
fin’ co'ti crop, though abundant, will not harvest
so plentifully as lias been anticipated.—Union
Spring's Gazette 1 MM.
The Cotton Crop. — The newspapers of lale
have abounded in accounts of recent disaster to
■he cot I ott crop. We have taken some pains to
learn Ihe facts of planters, and are satisfied that the
chances for a full crop have been considerably re
duced, within the last two weeks. In some neigh
borhoods the rust has been most destructive, leav
ing scarcely a single stalk uninjured. We hear too
ol boll worms and other difficulties in some quar
ters, and the concurrent testimony of all with whom
wt- have conversed, seems to he, that the crop has
been materially cut off.— Spirit of the South. Aug.

Reckless Homicide.
b hecomesaour painful duty to record the details
of a melancholy tragedy of which our peaceful vi
cinity liar- recently been made the theatre.
On Thursday evening ot the ]9th insl., about 4
miles North .of ibis place, two young men named
Abner Nance and James Nance, (cousins) attacked
ami murdered a .Mr. James A. Gorham in a reck
le“s and most unfeeling manner. It appears that
.Mr. Gorham, ns overseer of one ol the public high
ways, returned the above named young men to
the Magistrate for the non-performance of road
duty, l’he parties casually met at the house of a
neighbor, where n dispute arose concerning the
rond working, and returning of defaulters. ‘'Du
ring tlfo altercation, Abner Nance gave Gorham
lbe lie. Declaring that he would suffer their abuse
no longer, he attempted to resent tbe insult, where
upon tho assailants attacked him with open knives
and inflicted three wounds upon his person—one
upon tiie wrist, another just above the right breast,
the other in the hip. The first was superficial, but
either of the latter would necessarily have proved
fatal. Surgical aid was summoned at the earliest
practical moment; but the unfortunate man sank
rapidly from internal hemorrhage, and died tin hour
and a half after the rencounter.
Up to this writing, the criminals have not been
arrested ; but efforts have been set on foot to se
cure them. We are informed that Ihe mothers of
the murderers—two widow ladies of unexampled
piety—have been almost frantic since the perpetra
tion ol the bloody deed, which it is thought, will
drive them to insanity, or hurry them to a prema
ture grave.

New Orleans.
The weather, for the week just drawing toils
close, has been extraordinary for this month and
this latitude. Although our heated term has been
unusually prolonged, sultry and disagreeable, the
past week nas been oppressive to the last degree
It is true that the thermometer has not averaged
as high as we have known it, and we have been
favoredNvitli sundry showers and breezes, yet the
atmosphere seemed devoid of vitality, and incapa
ble of invigorating;the relaxed system. There has
been as it were no life In the air; and Ihe days have
been characterized by dull,dead, drowsy heat,which
enervated the mental and physical systems, and
rendered exertion of any kind almost an impossi
bility.
Aside from this, the week lias been unmarked
by anything out of the ordinary run, except the
increase in sickness. The fever lias progressed
considerably, as our regular reports have shown.—
We should not be surprised if the yellow fever
mortality doubled that of last week, when it was
one hundred and forty. We shall not know offi
cially, un ii the returns of the Board of Health are
made out on Monday. They will appear in the
Cresent of Tuesday morning as usual.
We consider the fever ns prevailing epidemical
ly, and would advise the puclic, especially the nn
acclitnnted, to he as prudent as possible, and under
no circumstances to get frightened. Fright is a
mighty adjunct of Yellow Jack. Be careful, we
any to all our readers, avoid exposure o the suit
and night air; be temperate in eating and drink
ing and exercise; touch nothing of a stimu
lating character, unless in moderate quanti
ties : be as equable and cheerful In tempera
ment as may be; and then, if attacked, go
to bed at once, send for a physician and nurse*
and the chances are silty to one that you will
recover. We are not a physician, nor the son of
a physician, but there is not a good physician in
the city who will not endorse tho above advice as
good, sensible and sound.— Crescent 14th.
