Th
piece of land for gold,
Aim urged ins su.t iu acccir. -l ..k:
“One crop alone is all I seek;
That harvest o'er, my claim 1 yield,
And lo its lord resign the field.”
The owner some misgivings felt.
And coldly with the stanger dealt,
But found his last objection fail,
• And honied eloquence prevail;
«* So took the proffered price in hand,
And for one crop leased out the land.
The wily tenant sneered with-pride.
And sowed the spot with acorn* wide.
At first like tiny shoots they grew.
And broad and wide their branches threw:
But long before these oaks sublime.
Aspiring, reached their forest prime.
The cheated landlord mould- ring lay
F rgot en with t le ki d' d clay.
O ! ve whose years unfolding lair.
Arc fresh with youth and free from care,
Should vice or indolence desire
The garden of your souls to hire.
No parly hold—reject the suit,
Nor b t one seed the soil pollute.
My child ! their first approoh beware;
With firmness break the insidious sr.are,
Lest, as the acorns grew and strive
Into a sun excludin^fcgrove.,
Tiiy sins, a dark o'er shadowing tree.
Shut out the light of heaven froyn thee.
Love.
Shall woman's love—of mother, sister, wife,
The richest blessing of this mortal life—
Receives do* tribute, bumble though it be,
For as much truth and so much purity?
No! while the heart can feel, or lips can speak,
Our words shall fail not though our words are
weak,
Weak to express what bends each noble soul
In mild submission to its sweat control. •
Which smooths each wrinkle from the brow of
care,
And seta eternal youth in beauty there;
Makes life a rosy landscape, opening wide,
And lights the water ol death’s dismal tide,
For as sometimes themurkey clouds between,
The moonlight falls a quiet, holy slieeu,
So love illumes the bright and awful way
With golden splendors of the rising day,
Pierce the deep gloom of death and points the
road
To our celestial home, and God’s divine abode.
To John f. Brerkin ridge.
“Kentucky’s Hope!” and now the Nation's Fridc!
Thy far spread country hath its eyes on the,
To watch thy budding greatness, till it be
Matured to full renown, On either side
The broad Atlantic—whose blue- waves divide
The Old World and the New—if thou dost hold
Thy steady pathway as thou hast begun,
Thy name w ill boon Fame's proud list enrolled,
Long ere life's summer hath to autumn run!
And when thy noble toil on earth is done.
And Death’s pale cerements thy fame enfold,
He laves lus country! will of thee be told.
Jlis life teas pure as triply tested gold!
And the whole world will mourn the setting of thy

The Dallas and Clarendon Treaty.
Ion, the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, says:
The publication of the treaty is delayed
necessarily until it could be printed. The
President, in his message, alluded to it,
and promised to lay it at once before the
Senate. Now that it has been published
the Senators will nave an opportunity, in
common with the rest of the world, to
peruse and consider it. It is to be sup
posed that they will consider it in open
session, for there is no longer, after tlie
exposure of the document, any propriety
in a debate in secret session. The ne
gotiations of the treaty will now he favored
with the comments ol the public press, on
all sides upon the subject, and in due
course of time we shall have the views of
the Senate.
The treaty completely settles the Mos
quito question, and disposes finally of the
British Mosquito Protectorate. It takes
hold of Central American affairs with the
strong hand of the two great powers, and
regulates them with regard to the interests
of the commercial world in the Nicaraguan
transit, and the future tranquility also of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, between which
governments a boundary dispute has long
been pending. It will render the free city
and port of San Juan a place of great im-
portnace, and of entire safety for commer
cial and other purposes, and it will he un
der the protection of the two greatest naval
and commercial powers of the world.
It strikes a death blow at the indepen
dent confederation, “based on military
principles,” which Gen. Walker had pro
posed to establish. The treaty is to he
good as between the two principal parties
as soon as ratified on both sides, hut it
cannot take place until Nicaragua shall
assent to it. And the condition of the lat
ter State is unfavorable to any negotiation
at present.
The effect of the convention, if agreed
to, will he decidedly unfavorable to Wal
ker’s enterprise, or to any similar entm-
prise, hereafter, for it deprives the
caraguan government of any absolute con
trol over the Isthmus. It perfects an
alliance with England for the regulation
of the affairs of the important port of San
Juan, and of the Isthmus of Nicaragua.
Coal Oil.—The New York Journal of
Commerce in an article upon this subject,
lias the following notice of the works at
Cloverport, Kentucky. These work are
destined to constitute a very important
item in the sum of western prosperity:
At Cloverport, Kentucky, on the Ohio
river, are extensive new works, runing
twelve retorts night and day, consuming
from eight to ten tons of coal every twenty-
four hours, and producing seven hundred
and fifty gallons of crude oil. Re-distilled,
this quantity yields six hundred gallons
of refined oils, viz; one hundred and twen
ty-five gallons of benzole, seventy five of
naptha, two hundred and twenty-five of
lubricating oil, and one hundred and
seventy-five of oil for illuminating pur
poses.
Benzole readily sells at $1 50 per gal
lon; lubricating at §1 25; naptha and burn
ing at eighty cents. Preparations are ma
king at Cloverport for the manufacture of
a beautiful semi-transparent candle from
the substance called “paraffine.” resembl.
ing spermaceti, and which is formed in
pearly cry stals iu the dark oils of the last
distillations after they have cooled. The
puraffine, as remarked by Prof. Silliman,
Jr. docs not exist ready formed in the
original crude product, but is a result of
the high temperature employed in the
process of distillation, by which the el
ements are newly arranged. It derives
its name from the unalterable nature of
the substance, under the most powerful
chemical agent.
The residum from the last distillation
makes the first quality of asphaltum, used
for smearing vaults, etc, now imported and
sold at $30 per ton. The company above
mentioned will add eighteen more retorts
on the first of November next, increas
ing the capacity of the works about two-
thirds.—Louisville Commercial Retic.tc

IKafure Provides for All.—So various
are the appetites of animals, that there is
scarcely a plant which is not chosen by
some, aud left untouched by others. Tin*
horse gives up the water hemlock to the
goat; the cow gives up the long leaved
water hemlock to the sheep; the goat gives
up the monk’s hood to the horse, &c., for
that which some animals grow fat upon,
other animals abhor as poison. Hence, no
plant is absolutely jioisonons, hut only
respectively. Thus the spurge, that is
noxiousto man, is a most wholesome nour
ishment to the caterpillar. That animals
may not destroy themselves for want of
knowing this law, each of them is guarded
by such a delicacy of taste and smell that
they can easily distinguish what is pernici
ous from what is wholesome; and when it
happens that different animals live upon
the same plants, still one kind leaves some
thing for the other, as the mouths of all are
net equally adapted to lay hold of the
grass, by which means there is food for all.
To this may be referred an economical
experiment well known to the Dutch, that
when eight cows have been in pasture and
can no longer get nourishment, two horses
will do very well there for some days; when
nothing is left for the horses, four sheep
will live upon it.

An Appalling Fact.—The Irish census
taldes just published report that in one
year there were 21,776 deaths from star
vation! The editor of the Medical Times,
commenting upon this appaling statement,
says: “The figures must he far short of
tbetruth. The harrowing details given in
the body of the report leave no doubt that
multitudes perished by the wayside and in
the cheerless Irish hovel, whom neither
policemen nor coroner’s inquest ever took
note of.”
Would it not he well for the republican
presses in this country, now that Kansas
is likely to find relief, to call the attention
of Lady Byron and Hon. Miss Murray to
the facts above stated, and which being to
them so near at home, maybe otherwise
overlooked and neglected?’ Would not a

of these wrongs, oppression and suffering,

Isle,” he highly proper and productive of

Mr. 11—“I came out forboth places, and,

—“What are your instructions in this mat

Gov.—“had you orders to use force if
the Japanese government did not choose
to receive Mr. Harris?”
Com.—“My orders were to see Mr. Har
ris here and land him. That is part of my
duty.” (Rather equivocal.)
Gov.—“Where are you going af
ter you leave Simonda, and when do you
leave?
Com.—“I shall go to Slianghae, and
shall leave when I have landed Mr. Har
ris.”
Here the conversation ended, and the
party fell to eating and Glinting, by'invi
tation of the Governor.
On the 3d of September, Mr. Harris left
us for good, on which occasion we “mann
ed the rigging and cheered ship.” The
Japanese have located him in a small
fishing village called Kakizaki, about
three-fourths of a mile from. Simoda.—
This, say they is a temporary arrange
ment. They have fitted up a Buddist
Temple for his abode, and lie is comforta-
blv fixed, no doubt, as far as quarters are
concerned. The difficulty with him will
be to get enough to eat.
To-day, at 8 12 P. M., the American
Consular flag was unfurled for the first

My* last was written from Simoda, Ja
pan, which place we left Sept. 4, and ar
rived off the mouth of the river Yangstse-
kiang on the 11th.
I am able to give you additional news
from Japon, which I have learned since
ourarrivalat this port. On the 19th of
last month, II. M. steamer Hornet arrived
here from Nagasaki, for which port she
sailed on the 19th inst„ with the London
July mail. She there found the English
Admiral, with tlic squadron snugly at
anchor in the inner harbor, of the city,
where they had been for some days—a
fa vox not accorded to any nation for near
two hundred years, except the Dutch and
Chinese. I said “accorded;” hut it was
done in this way. • The
Japanese keep stretched across the
entrance to the inner harbor, not hav
ing been let down the Barracouta—a
steamer, having the Tigue, one of H. M.
ships in tow—ran against it at full speed,
and broke it, much to the surprise of the
Japanese.
After anchoring the 'Tigue, she went
after the only remaining ship of tlie squad
ron, and brought her abreast of the town.
The Admiral’s mild and firm hearing did
wonders with the Japanese. They* seeing
what kind ot a man they had to deal with,
conceded everything the Admiral asked
for; his officers landing and roaming at will
where they plased.. They* found the Gov
ernment officials most attentive and civil,
d their wants were supplied without the
slightest difficulty—rather a contrast to
last year’s visit, when there were thirteen
ships of war, and they* were not permitted
to land. I think w*e can safely say that
the great scarecrow, “Japanese exclusive
ness,” is no more. The Dutch Govern
ment lias recently sent out a present to the
Japanese Government, in the shape of a
pladdle-wlicel steamer. A captain in the
Dutch Navy commands her, and a Dutch
crewmans her for one year—intending in
that time to have learned the Japanese
how to manage her. We have no news oi

Resolved, That escaping popular obser
vation and enquiry, it facilitates the rais
ing of large and unnecessary revenue, in
creases the patronage of the government,
and engenders profusion and corruption in
its administration.
Resolved, That a w*ell digested system
of adralorem taxation is the proper reme
dy* for all the evils inherent iu and insepar
able from a system of imposts.
Resolved, That the abandonment of the
system of imposts and the establishment of
absolute free trade and moderate direct
taxation will revive Southern commerce,
lead to direct importation, and thus accom
plish the great objects at which w*e aim, to
be followed as a necessary consequence, by
the establishment of lines of steamers, rail
roads, and all the necessaries of active, ex
tended and lucrative commerce.
Resolved, That this association reccom-
mend the establishment of free trade asso
ciations in the several counties of the State
upon the basis of these resolutions.
On motion, they were adopted as the
sense of the Association.
On motion of Mr. Johnson, a committee
of five was appointed to suggest officers for
the Association.
Hon. James Johnson, James Hamilton,

body*, as such committee, reported Robert
Baugh, Esq., for President, AY. N. Hutch

Treasurer—who, on motion, were selected
permanent officers of the Association.
On motion of James Hamilton, that an
Executive Committee of three be appoint
ed and a Corresponding Committee of like
number—the Chair appointed Hervey T.
Hall, John B. Peabody and R. G. Carithers
as the Executive Committee; James John
son, James Hamilton and Dr. Bacon as cor
responding committee.
On motion of T. M. Hogan, the city* pa
pers were requested to publish the proceed
ings of this meeting.
The number and character of the audi
ence, showed the progress made in the pub
lie mind with reference to the great object
of the association, a subject embracing the
entire policy of the government, based up-
cliain which the 'on the only true and. equitable ground for
raising revenues, is receiving and must re
ceive the cordial support of every citizen
who intelligently* appreciates his rights and
duties, and our relations with the commer

view to permanent organization. Gen. Be

it which characterized all who are willing

interests of the country, and particularly
to the South.
Hon. James Johnson next addressed th

tion, and reviewing briefly* the leading fea
tures in the system of Free Trade.
James Hamilton Esq. then proposed the
series of resolutions presented hv Major
Howard at Savannah in behalf of the ma
jot itv of the Business Committee, as follow
Whereas, in the judgment of this Con
vention, the great obstacle to the direct
trade of the South with foreign nations is to
lie found in the restrictive policy of raisin
revenues by imposts aud in the unjust fiscal
action of the federal government by* which
revenue raised from the South lias been
disbursed in the Northern, Eastern ?*and
Middle States, therefore,
Resolved, That complete freedom of in
dustry aud trade is demanded by* every
consideration of justice, equality and sound
policy.
Resolved, That the system of imposts is
incomputable with perfect freedom of in
dustry and different sections of the Union,
second, as between different classes of pro
ducers, and third, as between individual
citizens, and, therefore, ought to be abol
ished.
Resolved, That levying a tax upon con
sumption as w*ell as productions, the sys
tem of imposts throws an unjust proportion
of the taxes upon the great, middle and pro
ducing classes, and, overlooking entirely
the ability* of tax payers, permits wealthy
capitalists either to use it as a means of in
creasing their wealth, or at least of escap-
with a tax hearing no just proportion to
their resources or obligations.
Resolved, That being a tax upon foreign
products, it discourages and limits the a-
mount of foreign, and operates as a boun

tion of articles similar to those subjected to
Disease of the Heart*
PALPITATION.
f the most distressing diseases that flesh is
to. A person subject to it, is iisble to an
any moment,,whether lying or walking,
i is sudden, and often times without any
premonition whatever, aud ton oftentimes wiihuut
any appreciable c.ms4. and the relief that can be of
fered to the poor patient daring the paryoxism, is
exceedingly unsatisfactory, for but little can be
done that will in any. way give much relief.
This, of all other diseases that I have attempted
o treat upon, is the most important, not only from
ts being oftentimes of so difficult removal, but
from its being so exceedingly liable to run into
that structural organic disease of the heart, tor
which there is no cure: and would the space be al
lowed me, I should feel in duty bound to suffering
humanity to make use of several columns in this
paper, that I might throw all the light possible for
mi-to do, upon this all important disease, its caus
es, indications of cure, treatment, &e..,in the hope
that I might be the humble means of awakening
sufferers with this disease to a true sense of their
perilous condition, and stimulate them to lose uo
time in adopting some mode of treatment that
would throw off that condition of the system which
is the cause of the functional derangement.
There are two kinds of palpitation, viz: that pro
ceeding from organic disease of the heart, or dis
ease of its muscular substance, and functional or
nervous palpitation. For the former, there is no
cure; it is often paliatqd, but never cured. For the
latter, although all treatment has been by some of
highest authorities discarded, and discarded be
cause (as they say) so little, if any. success attends
auv remedial effort that may be made. \et, a well
dirccte 1 treatment is not only of most signal bene
fit, but will effect a cure, providing the grand cause
of the functional derangement be well understood,
and atreatraeut instituted with direct reference to
it. So far from discarding all treatment, it certainly
should receive the closest investigation and scruti
ny, and every possible exertion should be used to
wards its removal, lest its continuance should
bring about that structural organic disease of the
heart, which in nine cases out of ten, is the result
of prolonged, uneared for functional disease.
Organic, or that incurable disease of the muscu
lar structure of the heart, is produced, as I have al
ready said, by the nervous or functional disease of
that organ, and from this fact, the functional dis
ease should have every remedial attention paid to
it, in the hope that ere it be too late, a treatment
may be instituted that will do away with the cause
of the functional, and thus prevent the occurrence
of the organic. And, now what is the cause of ner
vous palpitation or functional disease of the heart?
But, before answering this question, let us see
what are generally the accompanying symptoms.
The pulse, generally, are from 90 to 110—tongue
clean, red and swollen—irritation and redness about
the tonsils—bowels generally very regular—head
ache and flushed face—tenderness at the pit of the
stomach—acidity and flatulence—sleep unrefresh
ing—depression of spirits of hours’ duration—feet
cold—skin highly sensitive to changes in the at
mosphere. &e, giving the most positive assurance v
of a highly congested and irritated mucus mem
brane of the digestive organs. The cause then of
nervous palpitation or functual derangement of the
heart, has its origin in disease of the stomach and
disgestive organs, the removal of which is of the
first importance, for by so doing we cure the func
tional disease, and steer our patient clear of that
terrible structural organic disease of the heart, for
which there is no cure, and but very little relief
from palliatives. And, by the by. 1 will here take
occasion to remark, for the benefit of sufferers,
that as a general thing where functional disease is
stubborn and of difficult removal, physicians are
too apt to impute their ill success to tlic disease
having passed into the structural organic disease:
and so I would say to all, be not dismayed, for
our physicians may be mistaken, and you may
et bo relieved by timely application to proper
medics.
The true indication of treatment then, is the re
moval of the highly irritated and congested condi
tion of the digestive organs; and if there is any
disease requiring the most particular selection in
remedies, this most certainly is on>*. not only be
cause most valuable time may be lost in the taking
of improper remedies, but the exhibition of reme
dies not consistent with the true condition of the
stomach, may increase still more the disease and
hasten on the structural organic disease. The
remedy, above all others, for 'his disease, is Bliss’
Dyspeptic Remedy—a remedy in which the most
implicit confidence may be placed, for, if taken
closely according to directions, together with living

The Elcoloral Vote of Wisconsin.—The

the day provided by United States law
for the Electors ofPresident and Vice Pres

A snow storm on the day previous having
shut oil'all communication with Madison,
the Electors for Wisconsin did not arrive
there, and consequently the vote ofWis
cousin was not cast for President. The

roinarks upon this circumstance as follows:
_ It is universally conceded that the fail

had failed to vote on the 4th of November.

the vote, and can now no more legally dis

Land Robber}' on a Large Seale.
During the present session of Congress, every
effort will be made to swindle government out of
the public lands. Land speculators aud adventu
rers of every hue, who glide through the world by
diddling the public, will lay all kinds of plans and
invent all kinds of schemes, to enrich themselves
at the expense of the people. Encouraged by the
wholesale manner in which Congress disposed of
the public lands during its last session, they now
infest the vestibules and lobbies of the cnpitol, and
with the worn out plea of “ public good” cry
“more—give us more.” The Pacific and other
railroad schemes already before Congress, are notli-
in**' else than gigantic attempts to swindle, and we
sincerely trust that every attempt of the kind to
rob government of the public lands will be defeat
ed. There are men at Washington, in and out ol
Congress, who are constantly inventing plans by
which to defraud government and enrich them
selves. They get up railroad and other schemes
by which to accomplish their object.
The close of the present Congress, if we are
informed aright, and can judge correctly of the
signs of the times, will exceed all preceding ses
sions for attempts to swindle the Government.—
1 here are men in Congress now who know they
will never have another chance to “make a good
tliiiiee of it,” and are determined to make good use
of their time. Already wo sec gigantic plans pro
posed to build a Pacific Railroad','and branches
from all quarters of the west and southwest, to
counect with a Pacific Railroad. We are opposed
to all those plundering, swindling schemes, and
sincerely trust that they will he rejected.
In noticing one of those immense schemes, the
Cincinnati Enquirer, says:
“From all parts of tho country and from the,
press of all parties, we hear the voice of con
demnation of the bill now pending in the House,
entitled the Prcific Railroad scheme. The cor
rupt speculators, politicians and lobby-men enga
gel] in it. have been battled by a timely exposure
of the provisions it contains. Such a great fraud
could only be successful by being hid from public
scrutiny and observation. By it not only are two
.miidred millions of acres of land given up to spec
ulators and railroad corporations, and the Govern
ment bound to pay five millions of dollars a year
for post-office services, but there is no guarantee
whatever exacted of the railroad corporations that
thev will finish the read. The latter can take up
the fertile lands as far as Fort Kearney, hut when
they come to the great desert, with its fifteen hun
dred miles of arid waste, they are at liberty to
abandon the road and let the Government finish
it.”

Fraudulent Imitation of Superior Commodities.
Among the many dishonisties of the trade which the moral
sense of the < (immunity is called upon to surpress, we
would particularly notice a most pernicious and infamous
practice adopted by unscrupulous dealers of imitating and
counterfeiting the exterior appearance ami precautionary
labels of populpar drugs, medicamcnta, and other articles ol
personal consumption, and thus by seizing upon the well
acquired reputation of an enterprising trader, palming off
most destructive and worthless compounds, to the sore

the man who had expanded thousands of dollars in bring

petty larceny theives are the pest of all honorable dealers
and traders,and the trade is as much highway robbery as
the violent appropriation of th**ir neighbor’s purse in fact,
they are beneath the burglar and highwayman in dignity-
fur these latter felons exhibit a bravery efr reckiesness of
character in anywise distinguishing the mercantile assassin
who stabs in the dark. And ought thev not be icwarded
with punishment commensurate with lliecowardicc of their
crime? We were led to these remarks by accidently observ

slight addition of a few letters to plead technical avoidance
ot the law again.tt c-muter fri ting; the bottles were very
similiar, anil every thing carefully prepared to impose upon
a careless purchaser. Now Is not the man who perpetrated
this fraud, a fel.m,a robber? Assuredly he is; for. as Mr.
Wolfe has expended large sums to bring liis genuine ini
ported schnapps into popular demand, that demand maybe
justly considered a part of his capital in trade, anti a fellow
stealing a patt of his reputation is as mnrb of a thief ns if he
had .'toten a barrel of Ids schnapps in bulk And to this
crime be adds a further one of defrauding the community
by giving them a runious article for the money they Intend

trust that Mr Wolfe will obtain names, not only ofthe con
roctors of these counterfeits, but of every man offering
them for sale, and then publish litem to the world; tor his
own reputation and the health of the community demand
that all parties should be nailed to the pillory of popular

Dear Sirs : We began selling Pery Davis ? Pain
Killer with very little effort on our part; sales
were small at first, but as it became known in our
community, the demand increased very rapidly ;
far beyond our expectations, and every person
that bought it would come after more, and speak
in the highest terms of it as a valuable remedy for
all those diseases your pamphlet spoke of. From
these recommendations we were induced to use it
in our own families, and now continue its use with
great satisfaction. Wo have sold more of the
Pain Killer than we ever have since or before of
any other medicine in the same length of time;
and we do not hesitate to say that it has given bet
ter satisfaction to the purchaser, than any other
article we have ever sold. Hurry of business has
prevented our sending certificates, but we have in
our vicinity from fifteen hundred to two thousand
living witnesses, who testify to their neighbors,
day by day, of the value of Davis’ Pain Killer.

We publish the action ofthis new party
this morning. The platform adopted is
the series of resolutions which were offer
ed hv M.-ij. John II. Howard to the l:.t e
Southern Convention at Savannah ami
which were rejected by that body. AV 0
may refer them more specifically hereafter.
What we desire to cal! to the notice of our
readers is tlic fact that tbismovment is nut
association for the dissemination of
correct principles on free trade and taxation
only, as its name imports, but a political
party, whose avowed object is to start
candidates for Governor, Congress and
tlic Legislature at the next general State
elections. This purpose does not appear
in the published proceeding of the meeting,
but it has been avowed in the Corner Stone
which we take to be tlic organ of the new
arty, and also by James Johnson. Esq.,
in his address before the Association.
Under these circumstances, this new
movement cannot be considered abstractly,
and on its own merits, but as connected
with other party movements. We can
hardly believe that the Democratic partv
will lower its crest before this new move
ment, whatever other party organizations
may do, in this particular locality. We
do not think the merits of the new move
ment will weigh a feather in the scale as
against the merits of the Democratic party.
At a proper time we will pay some atten
tion this view of the subject. We prefer
now to discuss the claims of the new move
ment on its own merits. An article on the
subject will be found in another column,
which will be followed up, as opportunity
shall offer, by others on the subject. Time
enough to discuss the matter fully between
this time and the coming summer.

Messrs. Win. S. Beers A Co —Gentlemen: Con
siderations of duty to the afflicted alone prompt
me to send you this voluntary testimonial to the
great value of Carter’s Spanish Mixture, for that
almost incurable disease, Scrofula.
Without being disposed, or deeming it necessa
ry, to go into tho particulars of the case, I can say
that the astonishing results that have been pro
duced by that medicine, on a member of my own
family, and under my own observation and super
intendence, after the skill of tlie best physician
had been exhausted, and ail the usual remedies
had failed, fully justify me in recommending its
use to al! who may he suffering from that dreadful
malady.
I do not mean to say that it is adapted to all con
stitutions, or that it will afford the same relief in
all cases; for, of course, 1 can know nothing about
that—but from what I have seen of the effects, I
would not hesitate to use it in any and every case
of Scrofula, with persons for whom I felt an inter
est, or over whom I could exercise influence ur con
trol. Respectfully vours,

and the other at Savannah, and, without Boasting,
in the least ofthe part we took in the proceedings
we claim that we drank as much champagne, hob
nobbed with as many good follows from every
Southern State, danced many as quadrilles, flirted
with as many a charming belle, voted as loudly up
on every resolution offered, were as prompt in at
tending the session of our Committee and tho Con
ventions, and hated as much to start for home, as
any other efficient member—but whatpracticle of
good did we and our colleagues do for the South? At
Charleston, wc resolved to have instanlem direct
line of Steamers to Europe, Swore we could have
“one or more Southern lines of railway to the
Pacific,” pledged ourselves to foster Southern
literature, aud be no longer dependent upon the
hated North. That was nearly three years ago.
Where are those Steamers? where that Pacific
Railroad? where is our Southern literature? and in
what are we this day less dependent upon the
practical enterprise and good sense of New Eng
land? We cannot presume to answer, for our duties
as members of tho Convention ceased the very day
the Railroad landed us pt home free of charge, and
from that day to this we have attended to our own
little business affairs.
Well, wo were getting along smoothly and
snugly in our editorial chair when here comes
another free ticket- backed up by a handsome in
vitation frohi tlie Mayor of Savannah and a broad
commission as a delegate from our own Mayor, and
we concluded that our distinguished services were
again needed to drink wine, eat fine dinners, at
tend brilliant balls, aud vote again in wise delib
erations, so we quickly packed and w ere off in
glorious style with as fin* a set of fellows as ever
left Charlottsville upon so important a mission.
We reached Savannah in due time, safe, sound and
sober. Tho Convention met. The same subjects
were up for our deliberations—the direct line of
Steamers, tlie Pacific Railroad, Southern Litera
ture and Southern Independence. Our Charles
ton experience enabled ns to vote know ingly up
on these important measures; and wc did so, vot
ing for them all. But some foolish Southerner,
more Southern than the South Pole, offered a
resolution for the re-opening of the African Slave
Trade. We wan’t exactly ready to go the
whole of that figure just now, nor did we think onr
people in Virginia were, so we voted “no,’’fur the
Jirst time in all our official life as delegate to tba
great and glorious Southern and South Western
Commercial Conventions. We hated very much
to disturb the perfectly agreeable oncsideilncss < f
our wise deliberations, but we couldn't help it.
When nun undertake in this enlightened day
when all Christendom is of one way of thinking
upon this subject, to give countenance to the
Slave trade, wc think it time for us to give them a
good setting down, and so we did by a handsome
vote. Hereafter, at Knoxville next year, we am
to meet again to ride.free, eat fine dinners, drink
sparkling champagne and vote again upon tho
Pacific Railroad and our other favorite measures.

Mineral Wealth of Georgia.—The mineral wealth
of Georgia is alone sufficient to render that State
the most important and prosperous of the sovereign
ties south of Mason ;uid Dixon’s Line. Recent
explorations have developed resources beyond
any previously attributed to that section. In the
district known as the Cherokee country, the fact
has been ascertained that copper, lead, and its
usual coucompitant, silver, exist, and to an extent,
which invites enterprise and capital. This portion
of the State presents a belt of country of nieta-
morphic formation, above all others, which is pe
culiarly remarkable for bearing mineral riches.
The Canton Mine is probably the most valuable
in that section ofthe Union. The principal vein
is fully a mile iu length, running on ground ex-
ellcntly situated for mining purposes. There
are three other parallel veins, with indications of
being equally rich in load, copper and silver,

Dhuangement of the Liver, is one of the
most common, as well „s the most formidable of
diseases known to American physicians. It had
for years attracted the closest at fa ntion of the
medical faculty in all parts of the United State-,
arid yet up to the time of tho discovery of Dr.
M’Lane’s great Speeifio, prepared by Fleming
Bros, of Pittsburgh. Pa., it was almost beyond the
reach of medical skill. Thousands had perished
without even a hope of relief, and although thou
sands may yet ho destined to feel the direful effects
of this most complicated disease, it is now, thanks
to the search of Dr. M Lane, most completely
brought within the scope of medical control. Iho
proprietors, Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh, Pa., of the
Liver Tills feel confident that they offer a remedy
which has been fully tested by time, and which
has never failed of success when fairly tried.
