Within a few weeks, several of the leading pa-
„ 0 f Georgia ihr.t once were considered organs
,'.t' the Whig party, have changed their position
", t ; IllCS- Up to the time of the grand Hcmbig
Convention" in ilacon, and tlie appearance of
Mr Stephens* anti-Know-Noting letter, these
Whig Editors had delighted in praising Know-
Notliing principles, and in recording Know-Noth-
'victories. Soon after these events, a change
f*mc over the spirit of their dreams. They had
'ide the discovery that Know-Xothiugism was
likely to prove a decided failure in Georgia; the
stock was falling very fast, and they determined to
' jj out <oon as possible. Thereupon, these pa-
l„.'s calk'd a Convention of Union Republicans,
imt the people did not answer w hen they called.
1 ike Owen Glendowcr, they can call spirits from
( j ]e va sty deep, hut they will not come when they
r.ill Thev soon discovered that this l. nion Repub-
can movement was no go. and they were again
thrown out of business. About this time, a few
desperate speculators in Know-Nothing stock,
huding that it would not pay, got up the Southern
t ,. r th'i<a! farce, for the amusement of the people of
Columbus, and those Editors, being out of employ-
. icnt. have engaged themselves to that company
nationally, until something more inviting turns
,, , Within about six weeks these Editors have
followed three different Standards, and have
shouted three different war cries. It is now about
•or.e fur a new movement, and we look every day
see a new flag run up, and to hear a new shout
from these men; but whether the next shout will
j, e fnr Saint Denis, or Saint Nicholas, Saint George
or the Dragon, it is useles to conjecture; but if we
: u ,ipe the future by the past, they will be most
likelv to enlist under the banner and follow the
fortunes of that leader who promises the best pay.
Tbr Sober Merond Thought of the People.
But a few short weeks ago, the Know-Nothing
-,ress of the whole country was arrogant and
1,oastful, making positive declarations of what
treat things they were about to perform, with as
much assurance as if they held the fate of the na
tion in their hands. But now how changed their
tone. Their big swelling predictions of victory,
an* changed into poor, pitiful excuses for their
defeats. They are ashamed to look their deluded
dupes in the face. Politicians that have been en
ticed into their dark dens of falsehood and infamy,
l.v the promise of office, now stand aghast at the
prospect before them. Bad news comes pouring in
up us them by every mail. One disaster treads
i.cju the heels of another. In quick succession
t ,cv hear of their defeat in Cincinnati, Philadel-
; hia, I-ancaster, and many other cities, where but
a few months before, they had triumphed by
thousands. But these disasters only prepared the
wav for their overwhelming defeat in Virginia,
and in the whole South. Since then, every day
brings bad news for tlie Know-Nothings. In Buf
falo. N. Y. they have just been defeated by over two
th ,usand majority, and oven in Connecticut, they
have been defeated in the cities of Norwich and
New Haven, where a few mouths ago they had
triumphed by large majorities. These great and
sudden changes show that, where the people have
“tern they are heartily sick and tired of
him. There is another sign which cannot be niis-
taken. Men are every where leaving their lodges
like rats from a sinking ship. They may try to
conceal this fact as much as they please. We
know it to be so. For sometime they have amused
themselves by deceiving out-siders—now tliev
cannot trust each other. Whilst one is medita
ting desertion, he finds that his fellows have deser
ted him, and left him the bag to hold, with the
Scotch proverb. “ Deil take the hindmost," for his
consolation.
The Navanurth Republican—Gor, Johnson
uud the 4ih Resolution of the Ueorgin
Platform.
The Savannah Republican, in its issue of the
k-th iust., commenting on the letter of Acceptance
of Gov. Johnson, uses this language:
The chief plank in the structure erected at Mil-
lfdgeville is what is known as the Fourth Resolu-
• m of the Georgia Platform. That Platform was
adopted in 1850, by a solemn convention of the
People of Georgia, and contained a pledge that the
State would resist certain wrongs therein enumer
ated, even to a disruption of the Union. The con-
v -nte n was composed almost exclusively of Union
men, Gov Johnson not being one of them, hut be
longing to the Southern Rights party.
True, the Georgia Convention of 1850 was
"composed almost exclusively of Union men. Gov.
.h hnsou not being one of them, but belonging to
the Southern Rights party.” But there were over
t o-nty Southern Rights members of the Conven-
t ■ n, who represented the principles and tlie party
t'W. Johnson supported. His views upon the 4th
Evolution were undoubtedly those expressed in
tiw Convention by the Southern Rights members.
■ "» let us see what the views of the Southern
i. gLts members of tlie Convention were upon the
k: Resolution of the Georgia Platform. On a
- lien to strike out the whole of the 4th Resolu
te. <riry Southern flights man in the Contention
’ >'l against it, while the names of Fifty of the
‘ :.:on members of the Convention appear in favor
miking out. Can the Savannah Republican^
:: :> face of these facts, sustain its position ? But
Republican would make believe that Gov.
• i .nson, in his present position on the 4th Reso-
Jot:on, is inconsistent; and that in 1850 he consid-
"it uj no account." We defy the Republican
* *dduci- the proof to substantiate the charge that
bovernor Johnson denounced the 4th Resolution;
k t him produce it, or stand convicted of misrepre-
■ 1 ntation. We have just shown from the official
nv >rd, that the party friends of Gov. Johnson
unanimously supported the 4th Resolution of the
Georgia 1‘latfoim, while fifty of the Republican’s
{ | o!:t;cal brethren voted to strike it out. We by
*" ra, aiis charge that all the gentlemen who voted
strik,- out were opposed to strong measures;
'■'■■e r may have desired to amend. Several were,
"ever, opposed to it in toto. But this fact stands
■ •t dearly. No Southern Rights member of the
Convention voted to strike out. We leave the
'avannah Republican to escape from its awkward
'iti°n as it may best be able and willing.

Public .timing iu Warren.
A large meeting of the citizens of Warren coun
ty, and adjoining counties, irrespective of party or
party obligations, was held in Warrenton, on the
pith iust. Mr. Stephens addressed the meeting
for two hours. He is said to have excoriated the
Know-Nothings without mercy. These are among
the Resolution adopted by the meeting:
Resulted, That we are opposed to all political
organizations or parties, that make a religious test
part of their political creed, and more especially
to secret oath bound political religious organiza
tions, as being at war with tlie genius of our Gov
ernment, the constitution of the United States,
and of the State of Georgia, and without a prece
dent for good in any Republican Government.
Resulted, That in the judgment of this meeting
the ouly qualification that ought to be required ul'
the citizen as a test for holding office Is, “is he
“Am” a spalled child.
Nothing contributes so much to the destruction
of an unsophisticated youth as unrestricted in
dulgence, and excessive flattery. “Sam” it is true,
has no ancestry. He “turned up" somewhere on
tiie other side of Mason & Dixon's line. Being
an uncommonly attractive youth, he found hosts
of friends not alone in the immediate vicinity of
his advent, but in all sections of the mighty North.
He was for the nonce, “the observed of all observ
ers.” He was taken to Philadelphia and introdu
ced into the hack room of the Mayor's office,
where his eyes and his conscience were equally
stretched to swallow the monstrous sights expos
ed before him. He was honored by torch light
processions and shot to glory in brazen throated
thunder. He was toasted and drank by the mag
nates of tlie (Quaker city, and the smiles of beauty
were showered lavishly upon him. Human nature
could'nt stand all this. “8am” began to“feel his
oats.” He tossed aside his short coats, assumed
the attire of manhood, aud in homely phrase
prepared to spread himself. In most of the
large cities and towns his advent was hailed by
sundry demonstrations in the shape of tar-bar ,
rels, blue blazes, with an occasional oblation j
in the shape of a blue eye in the head of i
some unlucky son of the “rich Irish brogue,” or j
“sweet German accent” by way of variety. On
he went, most gloriously, gathering fresh laurels
in every step. So long as he had his own way he
was peaceable enough. But it happened that
some of his Cincinatti admirers, a little piqued at
his bravado aud unconscionable impudence, re
solved to administer a rebuke to bis arrogance
and tyrannical rule. “Sam” as he was ubiquitous,
got wind of tlie movement, and put to work all tlie
machinery iu his institution to defeat the obj ect of
his enemies.' The contest was a hitter one; but
the ubiquitous eyes of “Sam” soon saw that de
feat was inevitable. Unused to tlie slightest ob
struction to liis plans and wishes, he resolved, de
spite tlie popular will, to win the race. To do
this he circulated, just about the hour of closing
the polls, a little piece of blood red paper, which
his friends well understood to mean, time, to fight.
So, instantcr, “Sam” and his army opens tlie tight.
Doors were forced, and amidst a hurrieance of big
sticks, revolving pistols, and loud hurrahs, “Sam”
entered the sacred portals of the temple of Liberty.
Seizing upon ballot-boxes, he and his furious com
rades hurled them to the earth and tore to tatters
their contents. This was a glorious triumph for
conservative “Sam”—glorious but short-lived—for
his riotous conduct availed him nothing. Noth
ing daunted, however, he proceeded on his pil
grimage of Americanising America. Having gain
ed a few glorious laurels in liis contest with the
lords of creation, liis next encounter was to be
made in the ranks of the weaker sex. At the
head of two dozen or so picked men, lie entered a
nunnery m Massachusetts, aud with his puissant
arm put to flight tlie whole household of lilly-liv-
ered ladies, pursuing them even to their private
chambers and adding insult to injury. No blood
was shed, and very little damage done unless to
the laurels of “Sam” and one of the relations of
the celebrated Billv Patterson. YYe next bear of
Sam at Louisville beating and killing the Germans
because they wanted to vote as they pleased; all
of which very remarkable conduct “Sam” consid
ered a means of purifying the ballot box. Sam
next makes himself conspicuous at the Washing
ton City election. Here lie managed by fraud to
keep out votes against him, thereby purifying the
ballot box of influences that might prevent “ Ameri
cans ruling America.” But iu all this wild fanati
cism “Sam” has only demonstrated the truth of
the proverb, “Spare tlie rod and spoil the child.”—
Had “Sain” met with reverses in early life, lie
would not have grown up in rank luxuriance; the
juices of his system might have matured a sound
er fruit; as it is, he is a spoiled child and the moth
er of Statesmen has just turned him over her knee
and administered a blistering that has brought on
mortification aud death.
Speaking out like a man.
We publish in this paper a letter frym lion.
Wm. Preston, Whig Representative in Congress
from Kentucky, to the Louisville Times.
Mr. Preston says, “The regularly nominated
democratic ticket is the only opponent in the field
against this new Party. As between the democ
racy and itself, my choice is quickly made.”—
That is outspoken. What is true of Kentucky is
true of Georgia. The only organised opposition
to the Know-Nothings in Georgia, is (lie Demo
cratic Party. There are many whigs in Georgia
who are as zealously opposed to Know-Nothing-
ism as any Democrat can be. Most of these have
so long opposed the Democratic party that they
are now loth to sacrifice so much of personal feel
ing, as to co-operate with the Democratic party in
the fight against Kuow-Xothingism. But, how-
can any man, who honestly believes the success
of the Know-Nothings will be fraught with great
evil to the country, hesitate to co-operate w ith the
only party that can defeat and put them down ?—
It is not asked or expected of Whigs that they
will sacrifice any principle they may hold, antago
nistic to the policy of the Democratic party on oth
er subjects. But it is to put down this secret
oath- bound, proscriptive, bigoted party that the
aid of patriotic Whigs is solicited. If their per
sonal dislike of our standard bearer, is stronger
than their detestation of the dark heresy he pled
ges himself to fight to the “bitter end,” then we
may not expect their co-operation. But we confi
dently look to the support of hundreds of indepen
dent Whigs, in the coming contest with the
knights of the dark lantern; many have already
given us the hand of fellowship, and have buckled
on their armor, like true soldiers, to do battle for
the great, the inestimable rights, civil and reli
gious, of all American citizens.
Know Nothing Convention .
Philadelphia, June 12.
Tlie Platform Committee have reported two sets
of Resolutions—a majority and a minority plat
form. The resolutions reported by the majority
declare that tlie American Party is not responsible
for tlie past legislation, and that the best guarantee
of peace to the country is to abide by existing
laws. They also declare that Congress has no
right to legislate on the subject of slavery, or to
exclude a State from coming into the Union be
cause the institution of slavery is recognized by
its constitution. The resolutions also assert that
the abolition of slavery in the district of Columbia
would he a violation of the compact with the
States of Maryland and Virginia.
The minority resolutions declare the Nebraska
and Kansas act to be an infraction of plighted
faith, which should be repealed. They also de
clare that no new State, tolerating slavery, formed
of any portion i f that Territory, should be admit
ted into tin- Union.
We understand that the above constitutes the
platform of the majority and minority reports of
the Know-Nothing Convention at Philadelphia.—
We have not the full action of the Convention,
and our space, at this time, prevents such com
ments as w e desire to make. It will he seen, by
a dispatch we publish elsewhere, that fifty-three of
tlie SB, members from the free States retired from
the Convention, after the adoption of the majority
report. Gov. Gardiner of Massachusetts among
them. It is a fact of some significance that the
Northern delegates who retired, were the repre
sentatives of those States at the North, where
Know-Notliingizm has the greatest strength.

the Constitution, and the rights of the South, upon
these great questions, and who will continue to

(•real Know Nothing Triumph.
The Know Nothings of New Hampshire have
elected John P. Hale to tlie United States Senate.
The people of Georgia will recollect the great re
joicing of the Know Nothing press in Georgia
over the Know Nothing victory in New Hamp
shire. When these men were elected that have
now sent John P. Hale to tlie Senate, tlie Jour
nal & Messenger rejoiced greatly, declaring that
the Sebastopol of Democracy was taken. We
now see the bitter fruits of that Know Nothing
victory. John P. Hale, the most bitter and ultra
Abolitionist fills the place of such men as Wood-
berv, Atherton anil Moses Norris. Such, people of
Georgia are the dire co isequences of that boasted
victory of the dark lantern fraternity over the
sterling Democracy of New Hampshire.

The Convention which met at Calhoun on the
12th inst., made choice of Hon. John H. Lumpkin,
as the candidate for Congress. Judge Lumpkin’s
name was not before the Convention as a candi
date. The contest for the nomination was be
tween Col. Chastain and Dr. Lewis. When it was
found, after more than forty ballottiqgs, that two-
thirds of the Convention could not be brought to
the support of either of these gentlemen, Judge
Lumpkin was proposed, and nominated by accla
mation. The nomination was not expected by-
Judge Lumpkin; and if accepted by him, the
Democracy of the whole State may rest assured
that our colors could not have been trusted to bet
ter hands. Tlie whole Democracy will respond
gloriously to the nomination.

This distinguished Democrat has been claimed

misrepresented. Gen. Quitman made a speech
at Jackson Mi ss, when he pronounced the charge
that he was a Know Nothing, an unmitigated
falsehood.

STEAMEll ATLANTIC.
Highly important from the Scat of IVur.—Sanguin_
ary Conflicts!—Eight Thousand Killed'.'.'.
New York, June 13, M.—The mail steamship
Atlantic has arrived, bringing news from Europe
to the 2d inst. Her news is, by far, the most im
portant since tiie battle of Alma.
The Allies had captured Kersch in the Sea of
Azof, after a prolonged resistance; had also car
ried the Russian camp at Tehcrnaya, and gained
several successes before Sebastopol.
The news comprises the accounts of the three
several successes of the Allied armies.
Firstly, of the French troops who were com
pletely victorious in a sanguinary conflict lasting
through tlie whole of the 22d and 23d of May.
During this battle the French took an important
position of defence or place d'Anucs before Sebas
topol which they still retain. No fewer than
8,000 men were killed or wounded, mostly in
hand to hand encounters with the bayonet.
The second success was iu a brilliant and rapid
advance on Tchernaya, in which they succeed in
seizing and retaining the Russian lines without
sustaining much loss. Tlie Russians abandoned
their camp and retreated to the hills.
The third success was tlie secret expedition of
the Allies directed to the Sea of Azof. The ex
pedition obtained possession of the fortress of
Kertscli aud command the Sea in which there are
fourteen of the Allies steamers.
The Russians, on approach of the enemy, blew
up tlie forts and set fire to four steamers, thirty
transports and half a million sacks of breadstutt's,
to prevent them falling into the hands of the Al
lies.
France and England have decisively declined
any further conference at Vienna.

Hog. H. V. Johnson.
We are proud to be able to place at our mast
head, the. name of Herschel V. Johnson as the can
didate of the Democratic party for the executive
chair. Gov. Juhoson has discharged the duties of
this responsible ofiice, forth? present term, with a
faithfulness excelled by none, and equalled by few
of his predecessors. He is acknowledged, by both
friend and opponent, to be a man of rare firmness
and honesty, and of superior intellectual capacity.
His character, both ns a private citizen and a pub
lic man, will staud the closest scrutiny, and tiie
better he is known the higher he will stand in the
estimation of his fellow-men. He lias been tried
and found trust-worthy, and we feel confident will
receive the warm support of all good Democrats,
and, indeed, of all the real friends of the South,
who are not blinded by party prejudices. The
unanimity which prevailed in the Convention that
nominated him, and the enthusiasm created by
the manly declaration of the principles upon
which our party intends to stand, are having their
effect. Already do we hear and know of Demo
crats, who have liithorto been rather cold towards
Gov. Johnson, taking warm and active positions
in favor of his election. The old and well tried
Democrats are being aroused, and we promise our
friends in other parts of the State, that the Chero
kee Democracy will give a majority on the day of
election, which will remind them of former days.

Death of Mqj. M. B. Mefomb.
A gloom has been thrown over our community
for the last few days by the sudden death of this
much esteemed gentleman and useful citizen.—
Maj. MeComb left Hawkinsville, Monday morning
last for Milledgeville, where his relatives reside.—
He arrived at Fort Valley about noon, and after
partaking of a hearty dinner, retired to his room,
requesting to be called when the cars arrived.—
Fpon the landlord going to call him he was found
locked in the embrace of the stem monster-Death.
M;ij. MeComb was a native of Edgecombe Coun
ty North Caroliua, aged about forty-four years,
and has been a prominent merchant in Hawkins
ville since 1837. He was universally beloved and
respected by all who knew him; and none will
hesitate to say we have lost one of our most enter
prising and useful citizens. His remain* were
interred in the Fort Valley Cemetery. Beloved
by all those who enjoyed the pleasure of his ac
quaintance, it is our wish, as we hope it is theirs,
that he may rest in peace. It is believed that de

Senator Wilson's Speech in the Know Nothing
Convention.
The New York Tribune {gives the following
sketch of the debate on the Slavery question
which took place in the Convention on Thursday-,
and in which the abolition Senator from Massa
chusetts took a part.
The question of admiting tlie Louisinia delega
tion, who are part. Catholics, was up. But, the
boiling blood of Virginia which lias been seeking
vent all of the week against Massachusetts and
Senator Wilson could hold in no longer, and Mr.
Bolling of that State opened upon them in a long
and abusive tirade. The whole afternoon session
was thus devoted to a free talk on slavery. Presi
dent Barker refusing to entertain a point of order
but throwing the gates wide open. T he tide pour
ed in a torrent for near three hours. The Union
went all to smash several times. But Albert Pike
and others gathered up the fragments for use to
morrow, when the ball is to be re-opened. Mr.
Bolling’s speech very much annoyed the better
part of tlie Southerners by its inappropriateness,
coarseness end vulgarity. He came close to Gen.
Wilson while making it, pointing at him and put
ting his hand into his face, lie charged Wilson
with defeating the Know Nothings in Virginia—
said negroes were but one remove from monkeys,
and acquitted himself generally in the finest style
of negro-driving.
Gen. Wilson replied with admirable coolness
and hold frankness. He said he was the last man
to shrink at home or abroad from the frank avow
al of his opinions, and he was the last man on
earth to submit to dictation and threats. The gen
tleman from Virginia charged him with endors
ing Burlingame’s speech in the Tremont Temple
and thus striking him down in Virginia. He did
endorse that speech. He now endorsed it, and he
should live and die by it, aud Massachusetts will
stand by that speech. An effort had been made
in Virgin iu to strike him down in Massachusetts,
hut he was not to be stricken down there by the
slave power of Virginia. He conceded the light
of the States to settle their own domestic affairs.
He stood bv the State right doctrine of Virginia
in 1799. Massachusetts had just asserted her
own sovereign powers. She flung back with de-
fiant arm all assaults, come from South or North.
He was for the abolition of slavery in the District
and in the Territories; for the restoration of free
dom in Kansas-Nebraska; for severing the nation
al government from all connection with slavery.
This was the only national position, and on this
we can carry the free States like a tornado; but if
Northern men wavered, all was lost at the North,
and the South goes for the winning party. He
went for the Union. So did his State. They re
sponded to the sentiment of Andrew Jackson—
the Union must be preserved at any cost. He was
for peace, but lie did not shrink from war, person
al or political, if necessary to vindicate his opin
ions. He told the South that the North would
overvote them on these questions, and they would
submit. We have submitted, and your turn is
now to come. Ours is the future—yours the past.
The speech of Gen. Wilson was received with
much attention and made a deep impression. It
has cleared the air and Massachusetts and Gen.
Wilson arc more respected to-night than at any
time before this weeK. Many Southern gentle
men came to him after lie closed and congratula
ted him. The debate will be resumed to-morrow
unless the South chokes it off. Massachusetts is

tion, we are glad to say, intelligence reaches us
that tlio rivers are rising. For the sake of the
planters and their factors we rtyoice at this, and
hope that the present favorable prospects will be
fully realized.
We were yesterday favored with private infor
mation from tlie Arkansas, announcing that that
is among the favored streams, and that wo may
expect large supplies of cotton from that quarter
in the course of a few days.
From a telegiaphic dispatch to a mercantile
house of this city, with which we are favored, we
learn that even tlie redoubtable Ohio was rising
fast.—-V. O. Pic., Kith iust.
The Know Nothing Convention.—Philadelphia,
June 14, 1855.—Fifty-three out of eighty-four of
tlie delegates from twelve free States have sece
ded from the Know Nothing Convention, on ac
count of the adoption of the National Platform on
the slavery question.
The Crops, Weather Sfr.—Our farmers are now iu
the midst of an abundant wheat harvest. Tlie
growing corn crop is promising, and oats, though
low, on thin land, will be upon the whole, an
average yield. Weather cool and pleasant, heavy
coats and fires in demand at night and morning.
A friend who has been travelling in tlie mountain
counties of this state and North Carolina, informs
us that he saw “quite a frost” on Persimmon
Creek, Cherokee county, N. C., on Monday morn
ing, of the 4th inst.—N. G. Times.
Got. Reeder to be Remorrd.—A dispatch from
Washington says that Gov. Reeder will be re
moved forthwith unless he resigns, which he is
unwilling to do. His Associates Judges Johnson
and Ellmore, and the District Attorney, will also
go by the board. The Kansas Ligislature meets
on the 2d July.
The Skunk's Tactics in tlie Crimea.—
The Philadelphia Gazette of this morning,
thus comments upon a new system of stra
tegy, recently adopted with succes; by
the French commander before Sebasto
pol:
“But we come now to a feature in the
late advices from the seat of war, which,
we confess, has staggered our credulity
more than anything that has ever reached us
from that quarter. It is announced, in a
despatch from Gen. Canrobert, that the al
lies have been throwing camovflets, or stink
pots, into the enemy’s fortifications, and
that the measure has been eminently suc
cessful. If this be true, it merits the con
tempt of the civilized world. It is a mode
of warfare to which a brave and honorable
adversary would not descend, and which
even a savage might be ashamed to em
ploy:
“The fortunes of the besiegers must, in
deed, be desperate, when they are driven
to expendients so unworthy of this age.—
Defeat, the most absolute and mortifying,
would be preferable, one should think, to
a generous enemy, to a triumph aclieived
by such cowardly and infamous means.—
To conquer a gallant foe, whom the usual
arts and implements of military science
cannot vanquish, by smoking him to death
with poisonous gases, is an act at which the
moral sense of this century must revolt.—
If the balls from the allied lines cannot
batter down the walls of Sebastopol; if the
shells thrown into them cannot reduce the
Russians to capitulate or surrender; if they
cannot be invested and subdued by famine;
or, if they cannot be bravely assailed and
carried by storm, then, we submit, it
were better to abondon the siege altogeth
er than to attempt its conquest by raining
into the fortress a shower of stench-
' balls, and destroying the garrison by
asphyxia.
We have turned with disgust from
seeing the hunter who had chased his
E to its den, pile a burning brush-
at the entrance of the refuge, either
to force the poor brate forth again, or to
kill it by suffocation, but that proceeding is
tolerable in comparison with the base in
humanity of attempting the capture of a
citadel in war by strangling its forces with
deadly fumes emitted from smoking n
siles.
Valuable Discorery.—We learn, say tlie
New Orleans Picayune, that a discovery
has been made which, if known before, has
not been practised on our Western waters,
! but which bids fair to be of great benefit to
steamboat owners.
Mr. Conover, tlie engineer of tlie mam
moth steamer Eclipse, who for many
years has turned his particular attention to
the economical generation of steam, has
long since been convinced that down
stream boats, requiring 90 to 100 pounds
of steam, can produce it with much less
fuel with coal alone than with any other
material. Within the last month Mr. Con
over accidentally discovered that satura
ting his coal with water, and putting it in
the furnace wet would cause it to produce
from 110. to 120 pounds of steam with a
considerable less quantity of coal than it re-
qnised to make from 90 to 100 pounds when
the coal was dry. He also finds that by wet
ting his coal lie makes no clinkers, has no
trouble whatever in keeping liis furnace
free from choking, and never burns or in
jures his grate bars.

Punishments among the Puritans.
1630. The first punishment wo find re
corded is that of “Thomas Morton, of
Mount Walliston, who shall presently be
set in the billbowes, and after sent prison
er to England, by the ship called the Gipte
now returning thither; that all his goods
shall be seized upon to pay the charge of
his transportation, payment of his depts,
and to give satsifaction to the Indians for
a canoe he unjustly took away from them,
and that his house, after his goods are ta
ken out, shall he burnt down to the
ground in the sight of the Indians for their
satisfaction for the many wrongs he hath
done them from time to time.
1632, It was ordered that Richard
Ilopkins shall be severely whipped and
branded with a hot iron on one of his cheeks
for selling pieces and powder and shot, to
the Indians. Hereupon it was proposed if
this offense should not be punished hereaf
ter hv death.
1633. Edward Palmer, for liis extor
tion. taking €1 13s. 7d. for the plank aud
wood work of Boston stocks, is fined 5s.,
and censured to be set an hour in the stocks.
This was remitted to IDs.
1641, Sarah Hales, the wife of Wil
liam Hales, was censured for her miscar
riage, to be carried to the gallows with a
rope about her neck, and to sit an hour up
on the latter, the rope end flung over the
gallows, and after to be banished.
1642. Daniel Fairchild, a married per
son, for abusing in a vile and abominable
manner the daughter of John Humphrey,
Esq., one of the magistrates, was sentenced
to lie severely whipped at Boston on the
next lecture day, and to have one of his
nostrils slit so high as may well be, and
then to be seared and kept in prison till he
he fit to sent to Salem, and then to be
whipped again and then to have the other
nostril slit and seared; and then further he
is confined to Boston Neck, so as if he be
found at any time during his life to go out
of Boston Neck, that is beyond the rails
towards Roxbnry, or below the low water
mark, he shall he put to death upon con
viction thereof; and he is also to wear a
hempen rope about his neck, the end of it
hanging out two feet at least: and so often
as lie shall be found abroad without, he
shall be whipped; and if, at any time, he
abuse any person as formerly, lie shall be
put to death; and he is to pay Mr. Hnm-
frev .€40.
i663. Robert Coles is fined <€10 and
enjoined to stand with a white sheet of pa
per on his back, whereon “A Drunkard”
shall be written in great letters, and to
stand there so long as the court thinks
meet, for abusing himself sliamefnlly with
drink, enticing John Shotwell’s wife toin-
continency, and other misdemeanors.
1636. Elizabeth the wife of Thomas
Applegate, was censured to stand with her
tongue in a cleft stick, for swearing, revil
ing and railing.
Holloway’s Pills, a certain Remedy for Bilious
Complaints—Mr. John Dabrymple, of State street,
Boston, accord in if to his own admission, suffered
more than most people from severe and frequent
bilious attacks, accompanied with a disordered
stomach, and great derangement of the system
from which last fall, he was effectually cured by
taking Holloway’s Pills. Ho has a daughter, 19
years of age, who suffered much from a sick head
ache, and dizziness, she has also been cured by
these justly celebrated Pills, and indeed her health
is better than ever it was in her life.
The Coal Mines of Chili are now being very pro
fitably worked by a wealthy Chilian Senator,
named Cousmo, whose income is $600,000 per an
num, and an enterprising Englishman, named
Garland. The operatives employed in the mining
and preparation of the coal are foreigners. Du
ring the month of February last, 15,000 tons of
coal were exported from Coronel and Lota, two
contiguous ports in the Bay of Aranco, south of
Concession, the rate being $5,50 per ton.

At the residence of his father, near Glennville,
Ala., May 30th, 1855, Jas. Aug. Bass, in the 27th
year of his age. Ho was a native of Putnam coun
ty. Ga., possessed with talents of a high order,
having enjoyed the privileges of a liberal educa
tion, unassuming and courteous iu his deportment,
and all hallowed by the religion of the blessed
Jesus. The deceased seemed to hare been one
who should have lived for the benefit of his race.
He had been a member of the M. E. Church for a
number of years, and for the last several years of
his life a devoted Christian. He had a disease of
the lungs for a few years past, but it did not as
sume an alarming form until 12 or 13 months pre
vious to his death, at which time, at the solicita
tion of friends, he retired from the active duties of
life, for the pufpose of trying to regain his health;
but Consumption had marked him for his victim.
He continued to decline, and as life waned, his
spirit ripened for eternal happiness. His death
was indeed one of triumph; several days previous
to his death, his soul was filled to overflowing
with the love of God; he called up each of the fam
ily and separately exhorted them to live for God
and meet him m Heaven, he said he waa going di
rectly to Heaven; he felt it, he knew it, and when
his speech had failed, in answer to the question by
his wife, -‘do you still feel Jesus precious to your
soul?” he noded assent. Thus has passed away
our brother, and while a devoted wife, and a large
circle of friends and relatives mourn his loss, let
them remember, that be is a saint in heaven. D.

WHAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
Every woman should know that if she is iu poor, sickly,
debilitated condition of health, making existence a burden
to herself and a source of painful anxiety to her relatives
and friends, and perhaps, (horrible rejection !) entailing
and inflicting her own maladies and sufferings upon her
ehildren, that it is her duty to understand why and from
vhat cause her sufferings arise, that remedy and relic f
may, while yet there is time, be availed of, tlie causes he
avoided in future, and her health restored, that she may
be fitted for the duties and capable of the enjoyments of
life.
Let every woman look at the emaciated form, the death*
like complexion, the deep-buried, lustreless eye, the sunk
en cheek, Ihe gloomy and depressed spirits, the shattered
nerves, the prostrate and helpless condition of many a
wife, mother, daughter, or sister, if not herself included,
within her own circle, whose days are days of agony, and
ask herself, “Must this continue? Must this be? Is
there no remedy ? No relief? No hope?”
The remedy is Dy knowing the causes and avoiding
them, and knowing the remedies and benefiting by them.
These arc pointed out in
THE MARRIED WOMAN’S
PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION,
BY DR. A. M. MAURICEAU,
raorxssoa or diseases or women.
One hundredth Edition (500,000). IS mo., pp. 250.
[0> VISE PAPKE, EXT PI A BINDING, $1 00 ]
Every complaint to which a woman is subject, from girl
hood to womanhood, as also as wife and as mother, are fuk
ly described, with the causes, the symptoms, and also pro.
per mode of treatment, In a plain, simple, but in the most
chaste language, easily understood. And thus every wo-
man can discover, by comparing her own symptoms with
those described, the nature, character, and causes of her
complaint; and be spared much anxiety and suffering.
The wife about becoming a mother has often need of
instruction and advice of the utmost importance to her
future headth, in respect to which her sens.tiven**s$ for
bids consulting a medical gentleman, will find such in
struction and advice, and also explain many symptoms
which otherwise would occasion anxiety or alarm.
How many are suffering from obstructions or Irregulari
ties peculiar to the female system, which undermine the
health, the effects of which they are ignorant, and for
which their delicacy forbids seeking medical advice ? Uow
many suffer from prclapeit* uteri (falling of the womb),
or from finer albue (weakness, debUity, Ac.)? How many
are in constant agony for many months preceding confine
ment ? How many have difficult, if not dangerous deliv
eries, and slow and uncertain recoveries ? Some whoa*
lives are liaxarded during such time, will each find hi its
pages the means of prevention, amelioration and relief.
How many bitter moments, how much anguish, might
have been spared to the sufferer, to her husband, to her
relatives, by the timely possession of this little volume.
It is impracticable to convey fully the various subjects
treated of, as they are of a nature strictly intended for
the married, or those contemplating marriage.
But no husband, wife or mother are excusable if they
still continue in ignorance of those physiological laws, by
the knowledge of which their own health and happiness,
as also the future well-being of their children, are secured.
