Great Cure of Rheumatism is Oincinna-
ti. Ohio.—Convincing Evidence.—For more
than three years ! have been suffering with rheu
matism, and enlargement and pain of the bones
and joints. I have strictly followed the advice of
physicians, and at other times used sneh family
medicines as had been recommended for the cure of
rheumatism ; still I did not improve in the least,
nnd was frequently compelled to keep my bed,
and thereby was prevented from attending to my
business. Some weeks ago 1 was induced by a
friend to try Carter's Spanish Mixture. The effect
was miraculous. I felt considerably improved af
ter I had taken the fourth dose; I have only used
one single buttle, and am entirely free from all
pain. I feel better than I have felt for years, and
I attribute my completely-restored health solely to
the use of Carter’s Spanish Mixture. I consider
it a most excellent medicine for rheumatism and
all diseases of the blood, and cheerfully recom
mend it to the afflicted.

R. R. R.—Blood from the Throat or
Lungs.—Radwaj's Renovating Resolvent and
Ready Relief is a sure preventative and cure for
bleeding, weak and ulcerated Lungs—bad coughs
and difficult breathing—hoarseness and sore throat.
There are many people who are said to have the
consumption, whose lungs are said to be so far
gone as to prevent their being cured. We do not
claim that our remedies will cure those whose
lungs are all ulcerated and mostly rotted away—
but we do claim that ninety-nine out of one hun
dred of those who complain, and who are troubled
with weak lungs, who sometimes bleed at the
lungs, who are troubled with night sweats, who
cough much, and who suffer great jtain and dis
tress in the side, shoulders and chest, that with
Radway’s Renovating Resolvent and Relief w e
will make them well, and free their bodies from
every particle of consumptive material.
All the difficulties of the lungs or throat, that are
caused by colds, these remedies will cure. Do not,
therefore, be frightened into the belief that you
have the consumption so bad as to be passed cure.
It is the cue of these inhaling doctors, to pronounce
the most simple cases of difficulties arising from
coughs or colds, either in the lungs or throat. Con
sumption. We do not believe that one case out of
ten that are set down as dying of consumption,
died of any worse difficulty than bad treatment
for a complaint the doctors who attended them
knew nothing about. It is an everyday occur
rence with us, to receive testimony of persons who
claimed to have been at death’s door, under the
treatment of Hunter. Fitch, and other consump
tion doctors, that were cured by a few bottles of
Resolvent and Relief. No mattar how had a cough
you have got, or how severe pain you may have in
your chest, or whether or not you bleed from your
lungs or throat, Radway’s Resolvent and Relief
will cure you.

Virginian Interests.—Southern Interests.-\a-
tior.al Interests.
The proposed Sham Ferry Line between the
Chesapeake bay and Milford Haven is attracting
serious attention on both sides of the Atlantic-.
Some time ago the London Morning Post contain
ed an able and most favorable review of Col.
Mann’s pamphlet letter “to the citizens of the
slaveholding States.” Recently the best conduc
ted commercial periodical in Germany, the Bremen
“ llanddsblatt," lias examined the subject in detail,
quoting copiously from the letter, and expressing
the opinion that the scheme is piacticable. if the
opposition which it w ill have to encounter in New
York, and at the North generally, be not of too
formidable a nature. On this score nothing, in our
opinion, need he apprehended. We w ill not do
so much injustice to the South as to doubt that its
patriotism is equal to the magnitude of the enter
prise—stupendous as it is in reality.
It may result—we believe it will result—that,
ns relates to navigation, the South has slumbered
considerately. It never could have been eminent
ly successful with sailing ships in trade inter
course with Europe: in the first place, for the rea
son that i s industrial citizens have no desire to en
gage in a mere seafaring avocation. They prefer
ctnploym nt in more profitable and agreeable pur
suits. Of sailors, strictly such, there are compare
atively but very few in the South. In the second
place, although tine worst navigation in the world
—the most stormy and the most perilous, as relates
to coming in contact with ice-bogs and coasts—is
that between New York and Liverpool: yet it is,
nevertheless, the most expeditions that can bo tra
versed by vessel# propelled by wind, lhe causes
which operate to reader it so dangerous are pre
cisely those which operate to render the route so
speailv. By the time the line usually traversed is
intersected by a vessel from the Chesapeake, a ves
sel from the Chesapeake; a vessel which left New
York the same day is not uufrequentJy far upon
her passage to Liverpool.
The capacity for carrying, of four snch steamers
as those contempla ed by Col. Mann for the steam-
ferry service, w ill be equal to three hunilreel sailing
ships of one thousand tons each—that is, they will
move as large an amount of products of the earth,
one vear with another, across the Atlantic. This
is easy of demonstration. We will suppose the 1
steamers to make, in the aggregate, fifty-two out
ward voyages with cargoes of seventeen thousand
five hundred tons each, and the sailing ships to
make three outward voyages with a cargo of one
thousand tons each. It would result that the
steamers would carry 910.060 tons, while the sail
ing ships would carry but 9-JO,noth It is quite as
probable that the steamers would make fifty-two
outward voyages as that the sailing ships would
make nine hundred.
Now we will estimate the cost of the foursteam-
ers at ten millions of dollars, and the cost of the
three hundred sailing ships at twenty millions of
dollars, and we have on economy in construction
of one-half in favor of the steamers. The hull of
the steamers, of iron build, it is believed will last
one hundred years at least, while wooden hulls
are seldown of longer than thirty years’ duration.
Then, there is a still greater economy in behalf of
the former plan of construction, while the wear
and tear of the propelling power would be quite
as considerable in the latter. Then, as concerns
the number of hands required, the advantage, would
be in favor of the steamers They would need
about sixteen hundred of every description, in the
aggregate, while the sailing ships would require
ten thousand competent marines!
The steamers would each have capacity for car
rying 800 first class passengers, 1,2 )0 second-
class, and 2,000 third-class, outward or inward.
Sailing ships now-a-days scarcely ever carry lirst-
class passengers, and outw ard comparatively none
in the steerage. It is presumable, therefore, that
ilie four steamers would convey one hundred times
is mar.y passengers, including each grade, as
would the three hundred sailing ships.
The question will he asked, how are nine hun
dred and ten thousand tons of freight to be ob
tained in a twelve-month in the Chesapeake bay
intended for European markets ? Much more
doubtingly was the inquiry made ten years ago
Ibv incredulous minds, where is the traffic to come
om which is to give employment to the Baltimore
bind'■Ohio railroad ? But during 1856, 955,000
arrels of flour alone were conveyed to tide-water
upon it! This result ought to be a sufficient an
swer to those whose visions are not sufficiently
clear to perceive where nine hundred and ten
thousand tons of freight are to proeeed from to
concentrate in the Chesapeake, where conveyance
to a foreign market at a lower rate than can be con
ceived of elsew here, and vastly more expeditious,
presents itself every week. Bj next autumn the
railroad communication will be completed-direct
from the Chesapeake to Memphis, and to Mont
gomery, thus offering to the interior of the South
the benefit of tiie steamers. From this source and
through the other railroads already in operation,
together with the facilities afforded by rivers and
canals, more than an abundance of freight for the
four steamers will be looking fur cheap and speedy
transportation, ready to avail of them long before
they can be built.
But,independently of this traffic, immense as
it is to become, there is another region of the Un
ion, over mindful of its interests, looking with
anxious solicitude to the Chesapeake as an outlet
for its products. The projected Steam Ferry Line
has aroused it to renewed action. Louisville
wants to be prepared to avail of it at the earliest
moment after it commences to operate. 8tie has
just made a large contribution to the Lexington
and Big Sandy railway, in order to get the most
expeditions and reliable conveyance to Europe.
Cincinnati, and even Chicago, are anxiously look-
ingin the same direction, for they are two hundred
miles nearer than to New York w ith uninterrupted
conveyance. Somewhere, not far from the Virgin
ia, and Kentucky line, their traffic will cross the
Ohio river to lx* conveyed from thence to the Cov
ington and Central railroads to the Chesapeake.
As soon as this communication is complete—and
we trust this State w ill strain every nerve to has
ten it—the three cities nam' d will alone furnish
ample freight for the four ocean mammoths, whose
benign mission it will be make the cultivator of
the soil rejoice more than ever in his noble calling.
slow movements, they carry comparative but few,
for the saving of even a day at sea is desirable to
all who cross it.
It is estimated upon reliable data that 230 tons
of fuel per diem w ill propel 17,500 tons of freight
on such a vessel as the Great Eastern, and at a
rate of speed that will enable her to make an aver
age passage in seven days. If this shall occur, or
anything approximating it. no one can doubt that
the leviathans must monopolise the ocean traffic,
from the fact they can afford to conduct it at low
er prices and more expeditiously than it has ever
yet been conveyed, or can be conveyed by such
bottoms as are now afloat. The Ferry Line can
have no rival, because there is no water on either
the English seaboard or our seaboard in ail respects
adapted to it but Milford Haven and the Chesa
peake Bay. A depth of 28 feet is the least that
is required, and only 23 can be had up to N. York.
The immense size of the proposed Ferry Line
steamers is calculated to bewilder men’s minds
who are even eminent as utilitarians. Let us in
quire, for their instruction, whether the ocean lias
kept up with the land in improvements for trans
portation, and whether science, after having at
tained what is now considered perfection on the
latter, should not naturally turn its attention to the
former? The locomotive may draw 150 tons
weight over a sail at the rate of 12 miles per hour
— we will say from Gnrdonsiillo to Richmond.
A team of six horses would not draw, twenty years
ago, more than one ton, at the rate of three miles
per hour between these places. Now, a 500-ton
sailing ship at that time stood in a relation of more
magnitude to the wagon-cart team than the levia
than steamship does at this moment to the locomo
tive and cars. Let those who doubt it make the
calculation. Ocean facilities have therefore be
come a necessity, and science would be faithless to
its trust, false to itself, if it were not to provide
them. It shrinks from no duty assigned it, and is
prepared and preparing to astonish more and more
the most obstinate incredulity with its almost mar
velous exploits.
The largest steam-engine ever constructed is in
iperation at the iron-works of the late 8ir John
Guest, at Merthyr Tidvil, in South Wales, about
100 miles from Milford Haven. This engine has
sufficient power to blow eight furnaces, which turn
out about 15ii tons of pig metal daily. It ap
proaches as nearly to the screw of Archimedes as
any machine ever constructed, and w hen seen in
motion by those w ho behold it fin* the first time,
the impression is created, in the midst of the
amazement experienced, that it is in reality moving
the earth. Its strength and proportions nnd per
formances are but in simple correspondence with
the wants for the ocean, which a Brunei and his
coadjutors are endeavoring to supply.
It is asked over and over again, how long will
it take to load such a vessel as the Great Eastern !
We answer, from assurances on the subject upon
which we can rely, not more than three days—per
haps not two. At Cardiff', on the Bristol channel,
coal is shipped at the rate of one hundred and fif
ty tons per hour. Thus with twelve trams, one
for each compartment, the Great Eastern could re
ceive eighteen hundred tons per hour.
Cnnard, who has been eminently successful with
steam on the ocean, is building at Glasgow an iron
vessel of the largest size that the water will admit
of entering the port of New York. She is to he
450 feet long, and so constructed as to insure the
utmost speed attainable for her size. It is calcula
ted that she will run across in something h-ss than
nine days. Cunard commenced with steamers
tie-half the length of the Persia, but he has as
certained that strength and size have enabled him
to dimmish the time, first required for passage,
nearly one-half. No practical mind any longer in
dulges fears that long ships will break in pieces on
a wave.
Let us, in view of all that is so wonderfully
transpiring, get on rapidly with our railroads, in
order that we may be early prepared to profit bv
the natural advantages so lavishly bestowed upon
l he great land-locked bay water in our front,
and the mineral teeming mountains and valleys at
otir back, were designed to confer peculiar benefits
upon ourselves, the entire South, and the Union.
Let us be true to our apparent destiny in leaving
» efforts untried to turn them to valuable ac
count.
We w ill conclude this number with the follow
ing statement of the railroad receipts in Great
Britain during a recent week. Wild as many of
the railway schemes were constdt red in England,
which were subsequently 'consummated, there is
nobody now w ho believes that there is one line
too long or one rail too many in operation. What
has transpired in England will under good man
agement transpire in Virginia:
“The traffic receipts for this week are £454,-
473 16.7. This amount lias been acquired on
8,146 1-4 miles, and is equal to £55 15 9 3-4 per
mile. The revenue for the corresponding week
last year was £419,776 on 7,951 3-4 miles, and
gave an average of £52 15 9 3-4 per ndle. The
increase in favor of the present week is to the extent
of £3 0 0 1-4 per mile. The aggregate ineome
from the first week in July is £7,936,664; the
number of miles open being 6,]46 1-4, the average
is £971 5 1 1-2 per nr.ile. In the corresponding
period last year the ineome on 7,951 1-2 miles w as
£7,483,608, or £946 2 6 1-2 per mile. This indi
cates an inerease in favor of the present year of
£28 2 7 per mile.’

days we shall recur to it.

We now* approach an important—if not the most
important—object to be secured by the establish
ment of the Steam Ferry Line. That object is the
diversion of the traffic and the mails across the
continent between Europe and China, Australia,
the East Indies, Japan, Ac. This traffic, in the
aggregate, is vastly the largest one in the world.
If we can secure it, or even a considerable amount
thereof, then, indeed, will the destiny of Virginia,
the destiny of the South, the destiny of the nation
itself, be less circumscribed than ever was contem
plated by the sagacity of Patrick Henry. In his

The Chinese Sugar Cane.
Having been an attentive reader of the agricul
tural publications of the country for years past—
or perhaps as many of them as any other American
reads—we have had a fair opportunity to judge of
the experiments of the last season with this piant,
in all seerionsof the country. The conclusion to
which wc have come is, that in ten years from this
time the United States will be a large exporter of
sugars made from it. Out of thousauds of experi
ments made with the canein question,not a dozen
have proved unsuccessful. That is, all the rest
have demonstrated that families engaged in agri
culture can manufacture an excellent quality of
sugar for domestic purposes, at less than the cost
ot the supply of the Louisiana or West India su
gar, they would otherwise require; the labor of
grinding the cane not being greater, and not re
quiring more skill than that of grinding apples
for cider, and that of distilling the sugar from the
juice not being more troublesome or difficult than
the preparation of “apple butter” from cider. The
catie grows equally well from Alabama to Maine,
on auv laud that will produee Indian corn. lu-
de.-d, any land that will produce Indian corn is
found to produce a more abundant yield of Chi
nese sugar cane.
Under such circumstances—and these are now-
all established faets, well known by all reading
agriculturists to be such—within three or four
years the production of sugar from this cane, for
family consumption, will be almost as universal in
this country*, as tiie production on each farm of tin
Indian corn necessary for its purposes. Improved
| machinery for grinding it aud boiling the juice,
* will also as surely be speedily invented and come
I into use. If, without any machinery designed lor
: th ■ special purpose, its capabilities have been so
) soon, so thoroughly and satisfactorily demonstra
ted, there is really no telling what it will prove
worth to the country at large in a few years. That
| ,ve are to become speedily exporters of the pro-
i duet, we have no earthly doubt, nor can it be pos
sible that its cultivation in tbe United States will
j fail to work as great a revolution in the sugar trade
of the world, as the successful introduction ot the
cotton plant in our southern States has certainly
made in the trade in all articles with which cotton
goods have come into competition.
\Ve might add, had we space, a short chapter,
appropriately, upon t'no other,great American agri
cultural facts of the day. That is, the success of
the experiments in the West in the production of
wines.
If w e are not mistaken, since the culture of the
grape has, for the production of wine, really at-
tracted public interest in the United States, it has
become a business of national importance more
rapidly than the production of cotton did after that
was first generally regarded as a successful experi
ment in this country. No more delightful or bet
ter wines are imported—very few as good—as tlie
best wines sold from the Cincinnati vaults ; while
some of the Georgia and St. Louis wines are hard
ly iuferior to them. If the quantity continues to
increase in anything like the ratio of its increase
up to this time, it will not only stop much of the
consumption of vile liquors at home, but will place
us in the list of wine exporting countries. Our
national progross in such matters is by no means
as slow as those imagine whose attention tnay not
be fixed upon them. No uther people on the globe
adopt agricultural improvements so easily as we
of the United States do; and in nothing have we
improved more (fasti r) in the last twenty-five
years than in practical agriculture, though we
know well the w orld rests under the erroneous im
pression that the farmer rarely adopts customs
and modes in his business different from those pur
sued by his fathers. .,
The Indiana Senator.
The whole of yesterday in the Senate was de
voted to the question whether the Hon. G. N.
Fiteh should be sworn in as a senator from Indi
ana upon the presentation oftfie usual commis
sion by the governor of the State, or whether the
commission, together with a protest by a portion
of the members of the Indiana legislature, should
be r eferred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr.
Bright pn-seuted the credentials of Mr. Fitch, aud j
moved that the oath be administered. Mr. Trttm-
j hull presented the protest of twenty-seven sena
tors and thirty-four representatives of the Indiana
legislature, and objected to the swearing in of Mr.
Fitch. The credentials of Mr. Fitch are in proper
form, being a certificate of the governor, with the
seal of the State, stating that. Mr. Fitch was duly
chosen senator, having received eighty-three votes,
which is a clear majority of the whole legislature.
The objection of Mr. Trumbull was not to the suf
ficiency ot the governor's certificate, but was bas
ed on the fact that a majority of the senate of In
diana had refused to go into joint convention, and
that the convention w hich made the election was
not composed of a quorum of two-thirds of both
branches of the legislature, which he insisted was
necessary tinder the constitution of Indiana. The
main question of debate was as to the time when
and the manner of raising the objection. The de
bate was long and interesting, aud occasionally
somewhat spicy. We could discover no disposi
tion on the democratic side of the Senate to enter
at present into the merits of the question involved
in the election; but on the part of several of the
republican senators there was a manifest inclina
tion to assume the facts as stated by the pretes
tants, and to determine the prelimaty motion on
the ex parte evidence. With all proper defeience
to Mr. Trumbull and his republican confreres,
must say that, in raising the question on the pre
liminary motion, we think they displayed a want
of their usual adroitness in political tactics. T1
usual, if not the uniform course, is to allow the
party presenting a legular commission, as in tlii
case, to take the seat, and then to refer the whole
matter for examination and report to the proper
committee. This is not only the uniform course
in such cast s, but it is the plain, sensible, and par
liamentary course of proceeding. In departing
from it Mr. Trumbull showed more zeal and eager
ness than discretion or judgment. After a pro
tracted discussion, the Senate determined, by a vote
of 12 to 33 that Mr. Fitch be admitted to the seat

Headers of the Enquirer : As I have always said
to you, I have been surprised at the reception that
“Bliss' Dvspepiic Remedy” has received at the
bauds of physicians. With but fevr exceptions, so
ar as I am able to judge, they, instead ot denoun
cing, as they are very apt to do, anything in the
“patent” line, have been unanimous in its praise,
and have not only exhibited it to their patients,
hut made use of it themselves as a good many
have written me. I do. however, occasionally,
but very seldom, hear of physicians denouncing it,
and discouraging its use, saying that it contains
sueli a mineral, or such a poison, and when they
don’t know anything more about it than a Patago
nian docs about a psalm book. Tliis, however, all
arises from jealousy, and a desire to exterminate it;
and so keen are their ranchorons feelings towards
it, mill sn burning their desire to vent their spite
upon it and its proprietor, in a way that will minis
ter to their preying appetites, that at every fresh
opportunity of gratification their courage grathers
strength and energy of purpose, and they are
ready to immolate themselves-on the altar of their
unquenchable thirst for revenge.

The Administration of President Pierce—the
Public Debt.
As the term of President Pierce approaches to
its close, we everywhere meet with tin-most em
phatic aud glowing eulogies on his brilliant ad
ministration. Mr. Pierce has been perhaps thi
most thoroughly abused Executive since the days
of Jackson: but, like the immortal old hero, he
will continue to grow in popular esteem until his
name becomes auothcr word for greatness through
all the land. Posterity will do Franklin Pierce
justice. He will retire from the W hite House,
having administered the government w ith singu
lar ability, and w ith the best wishes of tbe best
men in the country resting upon him. But we
are keeping the reader from the just tribute of the
Mississipian:
The able and lucid exposition of the affairs of
the government in the message of President
Pierce lias compelled many of the opposition news
papers to admit the vigor, wisdom, and integrity
of his administration.
These concessions are more remarkable as they
come from quarters which have not been apt to
regard a just, equal, and economical management
of public affairs as the object of good government,
but have been impatient of snch qualities, and dis
contented unless some scheme ofjjavoritism of class
interests were adopted by government.
The bead of the administration has arrogated to
himself the praise which is justly his due, and has

We know that Incredulity is almost as abun
dant, and fully as ferocious as it was before tbe lo
comotive walked tlie earth in magnificent gran
deur, or the telegraph travelled with aerial-like
rapidity. It is ordinarily, when atrayed against
god-like science, not deserving of consideration.
It is as unyielding as it is unthinking, as ungen
erous ns it is unintelligent. It was strikingly per
sonified in the celebrated Indian Chief Red Jack
et, and was in his case excusable. When a bridge
was first contemplated from the Niagara, at the
great cataract, to Goat island, he was amazed at
the absurdity ot the white man in projecting such
a work. It was not until the first shovel full of
earth was turned over that he believed the contrac
tor was in earnest. He doubted on from day to
day as the undertaking progressed, always expect
ing to see everything swept away by tbe rapidity
of the current, and the “white man” dashed to
pieces for his daring. At length, when the last
plank reached the island, he indignantly exclaim
ed, “d d lie ! d d lie!” and it is said never
returned more to behold the bridge. The “white
limn” had powers that the red one could not com
prehend. There was nothing wonderful in this,
nor is it. perhaps, to be wondered at that the “while
man” has powers which even his more enlightened
fellows cannot comprehend.
We learn that private intelligence from London
is highly encouraging for the early completion of
the “Great Eastern.” As sheprogesses, confidence
mutely and justly accord, will not fail to force a rail
road communication from t lie western Texas frontier
through to the Pacific within the next ten years.
Texas, so rich and so well to do. will take care
that the link which is to connect Louisiana with
New Mexico shall he completed by the time it is
required to perfect an uninterrupted line between
tbe Chesapeake and the magnificent bay of San
Francisco. When this shall have occurred, then
must the teas and silks of China, intended for Eu
ropean markets, and the mails and the gold dust
of Australia, and the travel to and from the Old
World and the East, be conveyed upon this high
way. The cost of transportation for freights may
br- greater than by the way of the Cajfc, but this
will be more than overbalanced by the immense
diminution in time. With a railroad from the
Chesapeake to the Pacific, and the Atlantic Ferry
Line in operation, it is believed that London and
San Francisco may be brought within twelve days
of each other.
But by the time tbe leviathans can be construct
ed the Chesapeake will be within six or seven
days of the Pacific by another route. There will,
perhaps, within five years be a daily communica
tion from Richmond to Ventose via the Gulf of
Mi ■xico njid the isthmus of Tehauntepec. A car
riage road across this isthnus, over which the
travel will be performed in twenty hours, is said
to be rapidly advancing towards completion, and
preparations are being made for the commence
ment of a railway to be speedily laid down be-
in her capacity to accomplish ali that her engineer tween its terminal points. It is thus not unlikely,
and architect expected increases. If she performs
in all respects, as it is now generally believed that
she will in England, then has Virginia a bright
future, the South a blight future,the Union a bright
future. This we shall undertake to explain to the
satisfaction of every fairly-disposed mind in a few
days.
But, before proceeding to do so, we take occa
sion to state that, as far as we understand the
views of Col Mann, it is not his purpose to apply
to the federal government for a mail subsidy, or
other pecuniary assistance, to the amount of one
ceut. Such contracts as have been entered into
for conducting the foreign post service should be
faithfully observed until they expire by limitation,
when none of them should be renewed ; and all
mail matter conveyed by foreign subsidized
steamers should be met with a discriminating
postage after that time. Our policy henceforth
should be to give to all vessels the postages which
ihey earn, and not one cent more. This will be
due to the Steam Ferry Line.
From the Richmond Enquirer, Feb 2.
In our first article under this caption, we c;:pres
sed tbe opinion that tbe railroads which would be
completed (luring this year from the interior io
the Chesapeake, together with existing traffic com
munications, would attract and he ample to con
vey more than a sufficiency of freights for the
ntempiated ferry line of leviathan steamers.
Upon a closer examination of the snoiect, we are
confident that this would be tbe ease. The low
at which they could carry, and the rapidity
with which the}* would cross from oijj shore to
the other, would draw the staple products of the
artli fur many bundled uiibs south and west to 4
the haven in which they would moor. It would
soon be found that all the capital which southern
seaboard cities might otherwise be disjiosed to em
ploy in foreign navigation would obtain profitable
investment in steamers to convey to and from tiie
ferry landing on tho Chesapeake. Small steam
ships (aud when we say small we mean such as
draw under twenty feet water) cannot possibly
carry ponderous arlicles 3,000 nnles except at ex
orbitant rates. The luel required to propel them
such a distance sinks them so deep that they are
precluded from conveying cargo except to a very
limited extent. Tliis can never be remedied, ex
cept some new motive power, dispensing with
bulk and weight, shall be discovered. The econo
my in fuel is greater in the screw steamer than the
paddle-wheel, and yet there arc few, if any, of
them in ocean service which do not consume thir
ty-five tons per diem, while their passages, we
presume, will average more than sixteen days be
tween New York and Liverpool. Thus, they car
ry a ton, if not more, of coal to convey two tons
cf merchandise. Of passengers, because of their
in view of the sub-marine telegraph line across tin
Atlantic, whose proprietors confidently expect will
he in operation next summer, that intelligence
can be conveyed from any metropolis or commer
cial emporium in Europe to tbe Pacific, in corres-
pondenccV ith steamers on the Gulf, iu four days’
time if not less. In this case it is more than pro
bable that European sailing ships in the Australia,
East India, or China trade, will generally touch at
Ventose to receive and despatch messages to their
owners; and this would he succeeded, iu the event
of such a communication between the two hemis
pheres as the Steam Ferry Line, by the transmis
sion of their cargoes by the isthmus, the gulf and
southern railroads to the Chesapeake. That such
would be the interest of European merchants is
distinctly foreshadowed by the fact that much of
tbe traffic from the lower Pacific South American
coast, which formerly went around Cape Horn,
avails itself of tlie Panama railroad for expedition
to its destination.
So certain is the projector of the Steam Ferry
Line of an eventual diverson of the traffic and
mail carrying between Great Britain and her east
ern possessions, across the country between the
Chesapeake and the Gulf, by means of his con
templated enterprise, that he would prefer to re
ceive the existing rates on mail matter, for con
veying it to any subsidy which Congress is be
stow ing for ocean postal services.
Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.—Impuri
ties of the blood are often developed in disgusting
eruptions, ulcers, tumors, scrofulous sores, boils
and other external affections. For all these dis
tressing and dangerous complaints, Holloway's
Ointment is literally a healing balsam. It neu
tralizes the matrries morli, or seeds of diseai-e in
the exterior secretions, and dispels the iufiamation.
Nature does the rest. The experience of every
human being who lias tested tiie efficacy of tbe
Ointment is the same. It lias never foiled. When
the internal organs are alone affected, as iu liver
complaint, dyspepsia, and irregularities of the
bowels, a few’doses of the I’ills afford certain and
permanent relief.

Death Among the Chinese.—The Abbe Hue.
in bis book “The Chinese Empire,” observes:
“The astonishing calmness with, which the Chi
nese see the apporach of death does not fail when
the last moment arrives. They expire yvith the
most incomparable tranquillity, without any of
the emotions, the agitations, the agonies, that
usually render the moment of death so terrific.
Their life goes out gently, like a lamp that has
no more oil. It appears to us that this is to be
attributed, first to their soft and sympathetic
temperament; and secondly, to their entire want
of religious feeling."

that the ferry boat at Georgetown was swept down

geonsly to the Long Bridge, was doubtless the

At sundown last evening not more than two

A Dance on the Prairies.—The thinly dressed
dolls who dance in our gas lit ball rooms, would,
we think, shrink from a Kansas ball room with a
shudder, when they found it located oil the open
prairie. On Ne.w-Year’s evening, the United
States soldiers at Leeompton, gave a ball ou the
open prairie. They all wore coarse Mackinaw
shawls jaud overshoes, and at the end of every
cotillion the ladies would run to the camp-fires to
\rarm their noses. The supper was served in
tent, and all hands turned in about midnight. In
the morning holes were broken through the ice in
the Knaw river, for the ladies to wash their faces.

Diverging Empires—Thr Swords of Physical and
Moral Triumph,
Two classes of conquerors appear upon the earth,
and from each we select a type to illustrate tho
dift’erenoe which lies between their practice and
achievements. There are soldiers whose mission
seems to be to pull down and overturn—and such
were Alexander and Napoleon: there are reformers
who from the ruin of decaying systems, create and
build up now structures—and to this latter class
belong sne'h men as Luther and Holloway! Let
us contrast Napoleon and Holloway—two men,
alike perhaps in the normal nature of their genius,
and each aiming at a certain universality of empire
in tho profession they respectfully selected. The
empire of the sword which the former created and
for so many years of fluctuating victory sustained
and fostered was, after all, an idle and a bloody
dream. If faded in tbe frost of bis first reverses,
and when he died, a lonely exile on the sea-givt
rock, there was no compensating benefit that he
could point to for all the carnage, misery nnd ruin
his personal Ambition cost the world.
Professor Holloway made a wiser choice, al
though the enemy he grappled with had more than
mortal terrors at command. He levied war upon
disease, and with the self-made weapons of his
Universal Remedies has foug! t and overcome his
enemy in every land, on every sea, among all
tribes and nationalities of the earth. It was a
stubborn tight and one in which success brought
no triumphal cries to cheer the powess of the con
queror. The silent gratitude <rf a rescued sufferer,
the still small voice of an approving conscience,
the assurance that his years had been devoted to a
worthy object, and the growing respect and admi
ration ol" all whose good opinion deserves to be
considered,—these were the only'stimulants which
prompted him to despise the calumnies of inter-
additional number of spinners, furnished only
! eight weeks’ supply. Estimating the present crop
1 at 3,000,000 hales—a liberal estimate—the incrcas-
| ed demand for the raw material all over Europe,
j from tiie Baltic to the Black sea, will take
| up, at high figues, every pound of that 3,000,000
j bales, workup tbe present limited stock on band,
; and leave the merkets of the world bare. “There
j will not be one bale of surplus cotton in Lverpool.”
The increase of consumption over p roduce during
I tire last ten years lias been at the.ratc of 16,64 per
i cent, against 9.77 per cent. This shows an increase
j of consumption over production of 6,87 per cent,
; for ten years. Before the year 1845 the proportion
\ was tiie reverse.
If this condition of things continues, the market
jin 1858 (October) will open on cash orders from
{the actual consumers in Europe for every pound of
cotton wc can possibly produce or spare from our
| own manufacturers.
It appears, from the various data before us, that
j this destruction of the surplus at Liverpool, and
I with it the monoply so long exercised by that mar-
i kef, is owing entirely to the policy inaugurated on
: tho continent of Europe during the last six or seven
\ years. The spinners on the Rhine, in Holland, iu
Belgium, and even in Austria, formerly purchased
their supplies in Liverpool. Russia alone took at
the ratejof 150,030 balesjof oureottonannually from
the English depot. The movement to establish a
direct trade between the American planters and the
continental spinners gave a sudden iinpulseto the
cotton manufacturing interests throughout the con
tinent. The l’russian Commercial League gave
attention to it, tho Netherlands Trading Society
took it up, the merchants of Bremen, Hamburg, and
Antwerp cut. red into it, and the continuous agita
tion in the cotton States of America attracted the
attention of those European official influences

Lobby Committee at Washington, now
about ready to report to the House of
Representatives the results of their arduous
labors. From wliat appears in several of
our exchanges it will turn out that most
of the leaders of the republican party at
Washington—insiders and outsiders—
about the time of their contest for the pre
sent Speaker were implicated, in some way
or other, in these lobby corruptions.
Among others things it is said there is some
tangible foundation for the charge made by
a Western editor(of which we know nothing)
to wit: that Horace Greeley pocketed a
small lobby check of a thousand dollars, on
accouut of the Des Moines Improvement
Company.—In the meantime it appears
that the accused has gone out westward to
prosecute the offending editor for libel,
and to deliver, en route, a course of lectures
while the Lobby Committee have been
hunting him as a witness. Altogether,
from the researches of this committee, our
readers may expect some very curious and
valuable lobby* disclosures and particularly
useful in reference to further inquiries oi the
same kind.”

Too Cute for the Widow.—There is a good
story told of a handsome Yankee peddler who made
love to a young widow, down in Pennsylvania.
He accomplished big declaration with an allusion
to two impediments to their union. Name them,”
said the widow. “The want of means to set pup a
retail store.” They parted, and the widow sent the
peddler a cheek for ample means. When they met
again, the peddier had hired and stocked his store,
aud the smiling fair one begged to know the other
impediment. “I have got a wife."
