A Fixed Fact.—Dr. Cavenaughs Pile Salve has
now been long enough before the public to have its
merits fairly tested: and from every one who lias
given it a trial, we hear of but one expression, that
it is indeed a Cure. Every one who has used it,
experienced almost immediate reKcf and a speedy
cure, a result, in many cases, long and diligently
sought, but in vnia.
In a conversation with the Doctor r. few days
since in regard to his “Pile Salve,” ho made this
remark: My Pile Salve, sir, is a cure—not a pallia
tive. For twelve years, it never failed in my hands
in curing every case; and I ask no reputation
for it, beyond itsi ntrinsic merits. What I say it
will do, it tcill do.’.’
We advise all who have need of such a curative
to try it

' M’LANE’S LIVER PILLS,
Prepared ly Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh Pa.—
From the unsolicited testimony continually offered
from all quarters of the country, it is impossible to
resist a conviction of the great excellence of these
Pills in all diseases of the Liver and .Stomach.
The following letter from Toronto, Canada, is one
of the many the proprietors have received:
Toronto, April 27th, 1854.
Messrs. Flexing Bros.,
Sirs:—I take this opportunity of
informing you of the benefits I have derived from
Dr. M Lane’s valuable Pills. I have for t wo years
past been afflicted with a severe pain over the eyes,
accompained with a nervousness and sense of diz
ziness; a malady beyond the power and skill of our
physicians to relieve and care, caused, as far as I
myselfcould judge, by a diseased state of the liver
and stomach. Some of the doctors tried bleeding,
and various other remedies were tried, but all in
vain, for the deep rooted disease still stuck fast.
At least I procured a box of your valuable Liver
Pills from a Druggist here, and feel, after taking a
portion of them, that the disease and painful sen
sation over the eyes has almost entirely left me.
I will close by advising all those afflicted as 1
have b en, to procure the valuable medicine at
once, and save much Cite and pa. n with little ex
pense. With sincere gratitude and respect, I
remain yours, respectfully,

NC’II ■ K DtATfi AROUATIC MCH.V-lPP’g.
A Medicinal Diet Drink, of eminently salutary quali
ties, manufactured by himself exclusively, at lib facto
ry at Schiedam, in Holland.
It is made from the best barley that onn be selected
in Europe, with (lie esseuse of an aromatic Italian ber
ry of acknowledged and extraordinary medical pixqier-
ties. It 1ms long since acquired a higher reputa
tion, both in Europe and America, limn any other diu
retic beverage.
In Gravel, Gout, and Rheumatism, in Obstructions of
tbe Bladder and Kidneys, and in general Debilities, its
effects are prompt, decided, and invariably reliable.—
And its is not only a remedy for these maladies, but, in
all emin in which they are produced by drinking bad
water, which is almost universally the cause of them, it
operates as a sure prevent ire..
The distressing effect upon the stomach, bowdeand
bladder, of travelers, or new residents, and nil persons
unaccustomed to tliem, produced by the waters of
nearly all our great inland rivers, like the Ohio, Miss
issippi, nr.d Alabama, from the large quantity of de
cayed vegetable matter contained in them, in a state
of solution, is well known, ns also that of the waters
of limestone regions, producing Gravel, Calculi, and
Stone in the Bladder. The Aromatic Schiedam
Schnapps is an absolute corrective of these injurious
properties of bad water, and consequently prevents
the diseases whiek they occasion. It is also found to
be a cure and preventive of Fever and Ague, a com
plaint caused by the conjoint effect of vegetable mala
ria in the atmosphere, and vegatable prutescences in-
the wat< is of those districts in which it principally pre
vails. Tlic Aromatic Sciedam Schnpes is conse
quently in great demand by persons traveling, or about
to settle in those parts of the country, especially, as
well a* by many in every community where it has be
come known, on account of its various other remedial
properties. *
In ull eases of a Dropsical tendency, it is generally
the only remedy required, when adopted in the early
stages of the disease. In Dyspepsia maladies, when
taken in proper quantities, as a diet drink, and espe
cially at dinner, it is found, by uniform experience, to
be eminently efficacious in the most obstinate cases,
when even the best of the usual remedies have failed
to afford more than temporary relief, lu eases of Fla
tulency, it is an immediate and invariable specific:
and it may be administered in diluted and proportion
ate quantities, even to young infants, in all those pa
roxysms of griping pain in the stomach arid bowels to
which they are especially subject, ns well as iu the colic
of grown persons.
Its judicious adoption iu connection with the principal
meals, or-when a sense of exhaustion dictates its use,
never fails to relieve the debility attendant upon pro
tracted chronic maladies, low temperament, and
liansied vital energy, by whatever cause Induced.—
j These are faels to which many of the most eminent
medical men both in Europe, and the United States,
have borne testimony, and which are corroborated by
their highest written authorities.

U inr atluo Millions a Bottle.
We liad almost believed that the types
had annexed a few straggling ciphers to the
above figures, hut on perusing the entire
article, which we find in a late number of
the Cotirrier des Etats Unis, under the
above caption, we find it is “a fixed fact”
that there is such a costly beverage in the
world as wine-at $2,000,000 a bottle, and,
what is better, that there is “more of the
same sort left.” The said article -dis-
courseth somewhat in this wise: Among
the rare luxuries which graced the table of
the King of Wurtemberg on the occasion
of the meeting of his two imperial guests,
one might see figuring conspicuously the
celebrated wine of Kosenwein, of which
the free city of Bremen is so justly proud.
The burgomasters alone of this city are
privileged to appropriate a few bottles for
private use, or to present a sovereign or
reigning prince. 'The history of this wine,
wliich.is worth to-day 11,000,000 francs—
there is typographical mistake here—pos-
sesse a all the marvellousness of a legend,
and is briefly as follows: The cellar of
Bremen is the most ancient of all the cel
lars in Germany. It is situated under the
Hotel de Yille. One of its apartments,
called the rose, from a basrelief in bronze
representing roses, and serving the double
purpose of an ornament and guide, contains
the famous wine of Kosenwein, deposited
there nearly two centuries and a half. In
1624 there-were placed in this cellar six
large cases of Rhenish wine, called Jolian-
nisberger, (Schloss-Johannisberg, the
ancient abbey now belonging to the family
of Metternich) and the same number of
cases named Hochimer. The adjoining
part of the cellar also stores wine of the
same description,, now as costly, although
not so old by a few years. They were
contained in twelve large cases, each one
of which bore the name of one of the
twelve Apostles; and the wine of Judas,
despite the reprobation attached to its
name, is to this day more highly esteemed
than.all the others. In other parts of the
cellar are to be found different wines of
later years. Whenever a bottle of the
Kosenwein is taken out, it is replaced by
the wine of the twelve Apostles—the lat
ter by a younger wine, and so no with the
other; so that; unlike arc vessel of the
Danaidcs; the sacredcase the neverempty.
Now for the price: One large case of
wine, contained 5 oxhoft of 204 bottles;
cost 500 rix dollars in 1G24. Including
the expenses of keeping up the cellar, and
of the contributions, interest of the amounts,
and interests upon interests, an oxhoft
costs at the present time 555,657,640 rix
dollars, and consequently a bottle is worth
2,723,812 rix dollars; a glass, or the eighth
part of a bottle, is worth 340, 476 rix dol
lars—(about 1,361,904 francs, or$272,3S0;
or at the rate of 540 rix dollars, or 1,362
francs or $272 per drop.) A burgomaster
of Bremen is privileged to have one bottle
whenever he entertains a distinguished
guest who .enjoys a German or European
reputation.
During the French oaenpation some of
the generals of the Empire were allowed a
considerable quantity of this precious,
liquor. Hence the Bremenese believe that
their city paid a larger contribution to
France than all the. other cities of Germany
united.— Washington Union.
From tins Vwis’uiigiou Union.
Kansas and her Constitnt'on.
The vex<*d o'vAi.in settled—the problem is
♦alvei—the ilcR.i point ©s’ danger is passed—all
serious trouble about Kansas affairs i-* over and
gone, Kansas comes into the Union ou the princi
ple of the great act tv hick organized her amlNe-
brarka as territorial governments. Another star is
addl'd 11 the republican constellation, uot shining
on scenes ot terror, conflagration, and blood, but
lending its light to the peaceful pursuits ot a con
tented and prosperous people.
We lay before our readers this morning the
schedule of the new constitution prepared by the
convention at Lecompton. The schedule is that
part of the constitation which provides tor the
transition from the system which now is to that
which is to be, and prescribes in what manner it
shalihecoiue binding as the fundamental law of
the land. In the despatches received a day or
two since, this temporary machinery, with which
all new constitutions must be preceded, is called a
provisional govern mint, awl some nervous porsons
pprhaps were alarmed at the revolutionary sound
of the words. It is die mere scaffolding to be used
hy the people, while they are putting up the per
manent fabric of their rights, and then it will be
used no more. In the mean time all the territorial
laws remain in lull force until the constitution
takes their place, exceptineo lar as this schedule
is used for carrying on the election.
This schedule submits the constitation to the
white inhabitants of Kansas; acknowledges the
people of the new State to be the only tribunal
that can rightfully determine what its domestic
institutions shall be; and gives full, practical, aud
fair effect to the great principle of popular sove
reignty. Onthe21slday of December next the
electors may meet at their proper places oi voting
and express their opinions Uy ballot on the ques
tion of slavery or no slavery. If a majority shall
vote in favor of slavery, then the provision which
makes Kansas a slave'State will remain in the con
stitution, and in that shape-it will be laid before
Congress. But if the greater number of ballots bo
cast the other way, that provision shall be strick
en out, and then every negro in the State, or here
after to_go there, shall be free, except tlio few
who are now there in the legal condition of servi
tude.
The special details of the provisions for taking
the sense of the people, so far as we can judge of
them at this distance, seems to us admirably con
trived for the purpose. If it shall not result in a
true expression of the popular wishes, it will be
the fault of the people themselves. But we have
no right to doubt that the^eleetion will be fairly
conducted, or that the defeated party, which ever
it may be, will cheerfully submit to the will of
the majority.
It is barely possible that an ultra abolitionalist
here and there may take exception to the provis
ion which protects tlie slave properly now in the
Territory. But the justice and propriety of tiiis is
as clear as noon-day. Let it be remembered that
-slavery was established in Kansas by the constitu
tion .and thequestsonison the abolition of it. Shall
it be swept unt of existence at a blow without re
gard to the sacred rights of property? or shall it be
gradually extinguished? The Kansas Convention
has decided in favor of the former course; and has
resolved to-deal with it as all the other States in
the Union -dealt with it—that is, abolish it pros
pectively. What crime has been committed by
the slaveh-olding emigrants in Kansas, who went
there in-good faith with their familiesjand servants,
nnder the protection of the law and constitution,
which gave them an undoubted right to do so?
Why is it that they should now be driven out of
the Stale, or premited to stay only at the expense
of having their property confiscated?
Wo heartily congratulate-the administration on
■this auspicious event. The President keeping his
eye steadily fixed on theeonstitution and the laws,
and turning neither to the right hand nor the left,
kept directly onward in the path he hadjmarked out
for his footsteps. This dignified and conscientious
policy—a policy which had no motive but the
peace and prosperity of the couutry—will be re
warded with the triumphant success it deserves.
He saw the end from the beginning. lie never
doubted that the truth would prevail. In the
midst of all bickering and contention North and
South he bated no jot of heart or hope, hut pre
served his unruffled serenity and his cheerful faith
in the right.
The members of the convention are entitled to
beheld n e • erlasting rememberanee for adhering
to great troths of the democratic creed in the midst
of temptations which the virtue of most men would
have been too weak to resist. They’ were exposed
to the attacks of ultras ou both sides. The persua
sions of one and the taunts of the other were alike
calculated and alike intended to influence them in
favor of a wrong decision. It is not often that a
representative body is found pursuing the right
when its friends and enemies are both inviting
it into the -wrong. There are some names in that
convention which we shall delight to honor.
Tiiis news, so full of hope to every American pa
triot, will bring sorrow to only one, class of our
people. The black-republican politicians had all
their capital staked on the chances of disorder and
confusion in Kansas. The enterprise has failed, and
they are ruined. The peace of the country, the
prosperity of the people/and the safety of Ihe
Union is destruction to their hopes. We rejoice
over it none the less on that account. They had
their day when their tools and hirelings in Kansas
were filling the Territry with alarms and agitating
the whole country—when they employed the
press, the pulpit, and the rostrum to echo the
shrieks with which they hoped to frighten the pub
lic minds from its propriety. Thosewere the davs
of “bleeding Kansas,” and then abolitionism wax
ed mighty; peaceful and quiet Kansas coming into
the Union on the broad platform of equal, cousti-
rutional rights will consign it again to its original
nothingness
We are glad to say, in addition, that nearly all
the members of the convention who were opposed
to the submission have finally yielded to the justice
and propriety of it.

Wild Lunds.—We notice that bills have been
introduced into the legislature, making it obliga
tory upon the owners of unimproved lands in
several of the counties of the State to return them
for taxes in the county in which they lie. If these
bills become laws, the owners of such lands will be
obliged to incur a great deal of unnecessary trouble
and expense in order to protect their property
from the “land Sharks,” who may be found in
every county in the State where there is much
unoccupied land owned by non-residents. They
must employ an agent to return their lauds, and if
from his faithlessness, negligence, or any other
cause, the taxes are not paid, a tax execution will
lie issued and levied, and the lands will be sold
for a nominal price, to those who, by a certain
length of possession, under color of title, will
acquire a title which will hold the lands against
the righful owner, or oblige him to resort to the
Courts to regain his property. Innumerable cases
of this kind will occur if the hills now before the
legislature are passed. We trust that they will
not be: that the legislature will not, by passing
them, oblige the owners cf wild lands, in holding
them, to incur nnnecessry trouble and expense,
and take the risk of losing them altogether.

France on the Cotton Question.
The Paris papers are somewhat doubtful en masse
as to what side to take in the troubles of England
with India. The Consdtutionnel has what a lead
ing London journal calls “a remarkable leader on
the production of cotton in the colonies of Franc
Cotton is tlie great trouble apparently with the
Constitution net, as well as with the London Times.
Cotton, cotton, cotton ! The French journalists
would like to supply itself, or England in part,
with the commodity; at all events, it would like
to do something or anything tending to counteract
the influence of the Southern States of North
America. Cotton is a balance of power in Europe,
and the Constitulionnel is afraid that the war iu
Iudia will unsteady it. It regards the war from a
commercial point of view, it believes the worst
consequence of the war to be the interruption of
the public works, and especially in the construc
tion of railways; tlie execution of which would
not only “have been useful to Ihe country, but it
would have produced in the whole world one of
those commercial revolutions ihat so often influ
ence the balance of power.” The English journ
als, explaining tlie French view- to their freaders,
present it in somewhat this fashion: The Constitu
tional mea s that railroads would have favored
tlie growth of cotton in India, and emancipated
the industry of Europe from the tyranny of the
cotton planters in the Southern States of the
American Union. This only shows how ignorant-
French as well as English journalists are as to the
capacity of India to raise cotton of either sufficient
quantity or quality. It is announced that ihe
French Government has resolved to encourage the
cultivation of cotton in its American colonies, in
ordering the colonial authorities to buy for certain
sums, which include a remuneration for the plan
ter, all the cotton of superior quality which may be
produced either in the West Indian Islands or in
Cayenne.— The Stutes.

Tlie Bank—Tbe Legislatne and the
Currency.
One would ■-q i’■ . in tl.oir pre- i'.t condition,
the Banks would show some humility and sue tor
indulgence; but uot so. With proud crests and
haughty mien, they stalk intoour halls of Legisla
tion and graciously dictate to the Representatives
ofthe people the time and condition upon which
they will again begin to pay their debts.
There is an impudence that rises to the sublime
—such is the impudence of the Bank. Mr. Gordon
of Chatham, coming from the city ofbroken prom
ises. allied by blood or marriage to two Bank Presi
dents, makes a report and submits a bill to the
The Hog Market.—We hear, says tlie Louisville
Journal ofthe 12th inst., that contracts for hogs
were made at Lexington, on Monday, at $3.25
cash and $3,50 four mohths without interest. Op
eration there show no disposition to pay over $3,50
gross and $5 net on time. It is not likely that kil
ling will commence before week after next.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the llth inst says:
A lot of 600 head Illinois hogs averaging 11)0 to
200 lbs, sold on Monday to fill contract at $5,25 per
100 lbs net. The market is dull, there being very
little demand except from parties having contracts
to fill. Packers have not yet made up their minds
what to do, and it is not probable they will pur
efface freely before the first of December. The
bulk of the hogs to arrive this mouth will be re
quired to fill contracts. Four houses were cut
ting yesterday, and about 1800 head were packed
altogether. The weather is favorable, and 200(1
head will probably be packed to day. In products,
a lot of green hams sold at 7c. There were buyers
for shoulders at 4£, and prime barrel lata at 10;
and we heard uf a srualll mess pork at $14. The
demands is very moderate, except for hams.
A letter from a drover in Woodford to the Journal
says that hogs were selling thereat $4 gross, aud
wheat ar 75c. per bushel.
The. Hiwassre Jluilrouil Bill—In tlie House of

A Lost Child.
Mr. Benj. F. Leonard, of Madison, writes us
that his little son, Adolphus, about four and a
half years old, either stra3-e«l away or was stolen
on the !)th of the present month, and has not been
heard from since. He was staying at the time
with Mr. Leonard’s brother, three miles from
Milledgeville, on the old Sheffield road. He is
described as a pretty child, with black or dark
eyes, sandy hair and fair skin, is very shy aud
timid among strangers.
It is the impression of a number of persons,
that the boy was stolen by the members of the Cir
cus Company which was in Milledgeville ou the
day of his disappearance.
Any information which can bo given to Mr.
Leonard, that will lead to the discovery of his
child, will be thankfully received, and suitably re
warded. His address is Madison, Ga.

The Army in Utah.—Col.- Johnson s command
for Utah shall go into winter quarters near Green riv-
er, and there await reinforcements, which will be
sent out in the spring. The goverment will de
pend chiefly on volunteer troops for that service,
and upon “a pile”of money which must be obtain
ed by a resort to new loan. Four hundred mil
lions will fall far short of the expense of this war. It
will cost nearly as much the estimated expenditure
upon the military expenses of-the East India gov
ernment in the suppression of the rounity there.
Still, this government would be accounted as a
failure unless the Mormon insurrection be sup
pressed.
Attempted Assassination.—New York, Nov 20.
—An attempt was made this morning to assassinate
Dr. Valentine Mott, Jr., whUo ho was on his way
to one of his patients.
: they
condescending and how kind! The people must
pay, and the courts stand open to make them pay
or bring their property to the block—but these
lordly Banks—oh, pashaw—they are above tlio
Law—they pay them when they get ready, and as
tc them, the courts must be closed tor a year.
The Banks in Mr. Gordon's Report defiantly
argue that there is no Law ou the Statute Book to
reach them for suspending. Simple minded men
regard the act of 1833 as such a Law. intend to be
at once preventive and punitive. But the Banks
say that Law was intended to apply to them when
they suspended in l--'37, and not now in 1857.
Now if this is so. the Banks tire irresponsible cor
porations and it is high time the Legislature was
devising some protection for the people.
There is a deeply significant provision in Mr.
Go.don’s Bill legalizing the Bank suspension. It
is the one requiring the Banks to secure the State
for the Bills, taken iu payment of taxes. A wise
provision truly. But why should Banks claiming
to be sound and solvent tender such security? and
why should the Legislature thus virtually distrust
and discredit the Bunks and yet by law authorize
them to flood the country with their irredeemable
circulation? These are grave questions,and devolve
no ordinary responsibility on the Legislature. But
another pertinent question arises—if the Legisla
ture find it necessary so to protect the State Trea
sury in taking some half million of Bank notes, is
there not some necessity to protect the people of
Georgia in taking eight or ten millions ot these ly
ing promises to pay? Surely our Legislature will
uot legislate altogether for the Banks. I pray them
to remember the people-to keep in mind the hardy
sons of toil, whose overwrought muscles and swea
ty brows, and wives and little ones with hands
outstreehed for bread, present claims for legisla
tive protection.
The song of the Banks is, without us
and our rags bow is the produce of the
country- to be sold. This is sung by their
Directors, Agents Satellites, and subsidiz
ed Presses, until it has really acted like a lullaby
to the people. The good, honest planters take it
as truth, that without Bank paper, their lauds and
negroes are valueless, and there w ill be no sale
for their cotton crops. We are told tlie members
of the Legislatur- are made to believe the same
thing. And under this gross delusion and false
hood we shall not be surprised if the Legislature
concede to the Banks all they ask. So far from
being true, the great truth is that one-third of the
intrinsic value of cotton is lost to the planters by
the present system of Banking.
Cotton is equivalent to gold and silver in Macon
or in Liverpool. Tlie planter should therefore re
ceive for it in the home market a full standard
value. But instead of that lie is paid for it in a
depreciated currency, which is nothing bat credits.
The consequence is, that the high rate of Bank
discounts comes out of Cotton. But this is not all
—under the present system Cotton is loaded down
by’ charges and commissions, all of which come
off of the price. A Houston county planter brings
his Cotton to Macon and selis it to a buyer in the
streets, who sells it to a Macon merchant—the
Macon merchant draws against it and ships it to a
Commission man in Savannah, w ho draws upon
and ships it to a New York Commission Merchant,
and there it is either sold or again drawn upon and
shipped to a Commission House in Liverpool. At
every turn and change the charges and commis
sions multiply and increase. Toll must he
paid at every mill—the street buyer, the ware
houseman, the Macon merchant, the Savannah
commission man and his Cotton Broker, and the
New York and Liverpool Commission men and
their Cotton Brokers must all be paid. And all
these charges and commissions are wrung
out of the I’lanters, because their Cotton must
pay them.
But the question is asked,if Bank Credits are dis
pensed with.how is the Cotton Crop to he purchased
and paid for? I answer, in gold and silver.
“Cotton is King” and commands Kings and King
doms. The coin ofthe world, will comeat its
bidding,if Bank credits are abrogated-Cotton must
go to feed the nations aud clothe the world. It
must go to keep Commerce alive—it must go to
girdle the globe with exchanges—it must go, or
revolution and wild uproar wiil upheave society,
and dynasties and systems
Then Planters turn a deaf ear to the Syren Son
of the Banks. The world must have your Cottons
and must pay for them,if you deman-l it.by empty
ing their Coffers of the precious metals. Texas and
Arkansas have no Banks and there Planters have
a Paradise. If time permited.we might goon furth
er to illustrate liow Bank expansions and contrac
tions, panics and suspensions, fall at last with
blight.and depression upon the produce of the coun
try. One simple idea, however, will suffice. Ex
change on New York is now three per cent prem
ium in Macon. Who loses it? Does the Mer
chant? No—nc indeed—the Merchant adds it to
the price of his goods, and the consnmer’pays it.
The grand and noble object to be attained at
last is the Commercial independence of the 8outh.
If we can establish the home market, as the reg
ulator of the price of Cotton—if we compel Europe
to come to our Ports and pay ourprieos in gold
and silver for our Cottons,then will we be great,glo
rious and free. The ships sent for our Cottons
will bring over importations, and so our cities will
be built up instead of being tributary to New York.
.Ships will come laden with gold, just as they go
to China for Teas and lo the Spice Islands for Spi
ces. More, the world will woo us for our friend
ship and like a lover to his mistress, will court an
alliance with the Sunny South.
And now in view of all this, what ought the
Legislature to do? I answer, nothing harsh—noth
ing rash. It the Banks have done wrong, let not
the Legislature do wrong to tlie Soekholders by
any hasty, or passionate action. Look at the
question, gentlemen of the Legislature, like
statesmen. Require the Banks to resume at the
earliest practicable dale,and change the Costitution,
so that no more Banks of issue shall be charterd
and no Bunk Charter shall he renewed. And then
the Banks can wind up gracefully, and a new era
be gradually inaugurated.
CALHOUN.
DON’T WANT WORK.—It seems to be abun
dantly apparent now, that the noisy demagogue,
wh are playing “hungry," and “nothing to do,”
ir. the Parks and Squares of the city, have somo
other purpose in view, than that which it suits
their plans aud purposes, and the plans and purpos
es of their promters behind the scenes, to profess.
They do not want employment, that is certain. It
has been olfered them, at $1 a $1 50 per day, but
they will not take it. The Chief Engineer of the
Central Park, on Wednesday, offered to place “the
Committee” at work at ouce, guaranteeing them
dollar a day, but the proposal was rejected. We
quote tlio report:
“Come along—come along!” said Mr. Vide: “a
man certainly owes a duty to his family before any
one else. If you are in need of work we will give
it you; there will be at least three meu relieved.—
Just as fast as we can wo will put others to work;
and as far as that is concerned it will make no dif
ference whether you areal work or making speech
es: for the men will be put to work as fast in the
one ease as the other.”
The Committee, however, could not be convinc
ed. It is said that Smith offered to go to work if
they’ would put him iu boss of a gang, and pay
him $1 90 a day’.
Now then, as it is here proven, from their own
lips, that these noisy fellows don’t want work, ‘un
less they can be bosses,’ the question is, what do
they want? Do they want to frighten the‘rich’ by
threatening to let armed men loose upon them? Do
they want to get breakfasts and dinners from the
hotels without paying for them? Do tjiey want to
remove the Sub-Treasury deposits? Or, are they
but trying to work upon tlie ‘stomachs’ and pock
ets of a certain class of the city’ population, in or
der to ‘hack up a Mayor’ who is trying to set the
‘rich’ against the poor.—New York Express.
The Militia System in Georgia.
It is gratifying to the friends of military’ reform
in Georgia to see at least an iniatiative step taken
toward the accomplishment of this object. A bill
lias been introduced to the legislature to abolish
our present ridiculous malitia system and.encourage
and foster the organization of volunteer compa
nies.
This subject has been urged again and again
by our executives upon the consideration of our.
legislatures and it is slrange that a change so
universally dome ruled by- our people has not been
accomplished before this. Let but the recommen
dation ot Governor Johnson be carried out by
legal enactment, aud in two years we. will have an
efficient well governed volunteer corps in every
county iu the State, that will do credit to the
empire Slate of the South, and furnish an efficient
protection and defense against external foes or
internal dissensions.
The exercise of discipline and drill in our volun
teer service is a labor iu which our youths delight,
aud they need but the encouragement recommend
ed in the executive message to prompt them to
the work. The State encampment held at Mil-
ledgevill last summer under the invitation of our
Governor, has done more to stimulate and encourage
a practical military spirit in our State, than all the
militia drills, held for the last ten years.
But it is needless to enlarge upon the subject,
we cannot put the subject in any stronger light
than has been done by Governor Johnson. Let
Georgia hut take the iniatiative iu this matter and
her sister Southern States seeing the benefit of the
system, will doubtless speedily follow her example.
We are gratified to see that Gov. Winstead
recommends the same policy to the favorable con
sideration of the Alabama Legislature.
Surely our legislature wiil perfect and pass the
bill which has been introduced on this subject,
and givo to tho people the reform in our military
system they universally demand.

The Bengal Sepoys.-An intelligent American ship
master, who has been much in the Calcutta trade
in a recent letter to bis friends, has taken a some
what different view of the rebellion from that which
is intertained by many persons, and his opinion
possesses some interest for those engaged in tbe
East India trade, as well as to general readers,
lie says:
“I look upon the mutiny as ot very short dura
tion. It is confined wholly to the company's sol
diers, but few of whom are in fact natives of Ben
gal. They are nearly all emigrants from Arabia
and other parts of Asia, and are mostly Mahome
tans and Hindoo Bra in ins. They were brought
into Bengal by tlie East India Company officials as
hewers of wood and drawers of water for them
The mass of the Hindoo population, who are as
fifty to one of the sepoys or soldiers, are deadly
nemies to to them, and would be glad to see eve
ry one of them put to death. Tbe sepoys have
nothing to do with tilling the ground, but are a
poor, miserable race of idle loafers, and with the
force England lias oil tbe way, there will not be a
sepoy alive when the planting season arrives next
pring. Trade may be interrupted for a short time,
but I cannot think tbe interruption will last long.
Ion think I take a wrong view of the matter, hut
it is my opinion, founded .on much observation in
that country, and I always have more faith in what
I see myself than in what I bear from others.”

Blowingfrom a Gun in India.—A medical offi
cer of this Presidency, says the Bombay Gazette
conspicuous for his bravery and gallautry during
some ofthe late disturbance,"gives a description
of an “execution parade,” which is terribly graph-
This first parade was a horrible sight, but the
blowing away from guns is most appalling. After
the explosion, the grouping of the men’s remains
in front of each gun was various and frightful.
One man’s head was perched upon his back,
and he was staring round as if looking for his legs
and arms. All you sec at the time is a cloud like
a dust storm, composed of shreds of clothing,
burning muscles and frizzing fat, with lumps of
cogulated blood. Here and there a stomach or a
liver comes falling dow n in a stinking shower.
O110 wretched follow slipped from the rope by
which he was tied to the gun just before the ex-
ilosion, and his arm w as nearly set on fire
While hanging in this agony under the gun, a
sergeant applied a pistol to iiis head, and three
times the cap snapped, the man each time w inking
from the expected shot. At last a rifle was fired
into the hack of his head, and the blood poured
out from the nose aud mouth like water from a
