for the purpose of making great stock operations.
It is not unlikely ho may have obtained some

The Ratiiesnake rs. Science—Science implies
know ledge acquired by learning research. Has
science discovered au antidote to the poison of
tin* venomous rattlesnake? In medical journals,
and some newspapers it is heralded, that bromine
iodide of pottassium, bi-chloride of Mercury,
combined, is a sovereign remedy. Armed with
this, even less vulnerable than Hercules, ono may
step into a den of rattlesnakes, and fear no danger
Wiiether such claim is of fiction or fact, let severe
experiment decide. Doctors Briggs and Ash ley two
■mineut aud experienced physicians of Troup-
ville, subjected to a severe test this remedy claimed
as infallible. Having procured a rattlesnake near
six feet long, and having ready the famous remedy
they caused a small dog to be struck twice by the
| snake. The first was a slight wound on tlie side,
the second a deep incision—one of the fangs ofthe
snake penetrating low, in the rear of the left
shoulder, aud near the region of the heart. The
thermometer at the time was at ninety-four degrees.
Iu less than one minute tin* dog manifested symp
toms of great uneasiness and distress—in three
minutes it staggered and tell—in four minutes
one-fourth ounce Of the medicine was administered
—in fifteen minutes from the time of the bit**
three-fourths of an ounce was given at regular
intervals. No apparent effect was produced. The
dog lay motionless aud seemingly insensible,
breathing laboriously. The breathing became
gradually more feeble, and in one hour and twen
ty-live minutes fiom the time of tlie bite, the dog
died. This was a severe but fair test of that much
extolled remedy. The bane triumphed over the
antidote. This test may prove the famous remedy
a fallacious one,or it may prove that when the rat-
tlesnankc strikes some more vital part or near
some groat vital organ, no remedy may avail
against the poison. Science must gain new
knowledge—doctors must yet experiment and
investigate, in search of the antidote. The rat
tlesnake, mortal foe to life to the discomfiture of
science, sleeps on the battlefield.

Alarming Sions ok Sickness—A Prediction of
\ Sickly Summer.—We refer our reader* to the follow
ing extract from a medical Journal known os tlie Mot-
tnsf Wfrld, published by lt.idway A Co., the inventors
of the celebrated K. lv. U. remedies. Dr. Kadwav’s
.‘xperience in the treatment of malarious and infectious
liseascs not only in our own country, but iu South
Vmeriea and tlie West Indies, ami the wonderful
ichievemunts of his ltcady Kelicf, both as a preventive
and cure of Yellow Fever, Cholera, ami other diseases
violent character, entitles liis prediction to the
ridhs consideration of tin people. It is well known
iu this city that in 1*49 Rad way’s Ready Relief was
he most successful remedy employed in tlie treatment
Cholera, and that in when Yellow Fever raged in
its most violent form in the State of Miss. Dr. Fred
B. Page, with the use of the remedy, gained a com
plete victory over the pestilence. We therefore re
commend our readers to the perusal ofthe following
Article from the May number of the Moving World:
An Alarm—Foreshadowing of Terrible Sick
ness—Prevalence of Mali.akjous Diseases.—As
< i tianlians of the public health, it is our duty to give
the alarm when we discover the approach of dangerous
maladies, calculated to give the alarm when we discov
er the approach of dangerous maladies, calculated to
create a general panic by the production of universal
sickness, disease and death. We are convinced that
dangers of the most terrible character, in the form of
sickm ss aud disease, u ill visit the greater portion of
our country the cotniug summer and fall, iu the form of
Flux. Yellow Fever, Dysenterv, Eever and Ague,
( liolera, Ship Fever, Diarrhoea, Typhoid Fever, liillious
r, C'.*iolera Morbus, Congestive Fevers, and sick
rheprincipal opposing candidate. Mr. Wallach,
was supported by the bulk of the Know Nothing
vote, and by the entire Black Republican vote of
theciiv, and tlie triumphant election of Mr. Berret is
not only over the natural foeor Democracy in south
ern latitudes Know Nothineism, but over its ally
and coHeap-iie from the North, Black Republican
ism, ot which a very strong element has infused
itseli into tlie population of this city.
Idle and evilly disposed persons had propagated
the belief to some extent that the administration
and the Democratic party of the country were
indifferent to the rt stilt of this city election of ours
We are quite sure that the administration did dis
creetly retrain from any participation In the con.
test; but it is preposterous to suppose that they
were indifferent to the result. Every one can per
ceive how important and how ajrreoah’e it would
be to the hiffh officers of the povemnient to 1 e
associated in the District which municipal author
ities of their own political sentiments; and wo
are very sure that none in the city rejoice more
sincerely at the results than the President and his
distinguished associates in the government
We congratulate’ the citizens of Washington on
the happy and peaceful termination of this most
important election, and we thrice congratulate nur
fellow-citizens of the Dcmooracy on the signal
success that has crowned theiri’exertions in'this
contest.—Washington Cnion. June 8.
The. Growth of our Cities, Old and Xew.—Bos
ton was trying to grow neraly one hundred years
before it attaiued a population of 10.000.
Albany was two hundred years.
New York was one hundred and thirty years.
Philadelphia, settled sixty or seventy years
later, grew much faster than’the oldest cities, and
arrived at the dignity of ten thousand in much
less time—that is in about fifty years.
New Orleans was about one hundred years old
besnrt* she had that number.
During the first one hundred years after the set
tlement of Boston. (1630,) she was the largest city
of tlie colonies.
New Y ork became as populous as Boston just
before the revolutionay war.
Philadelphia had taken the lead of both her
older sisters many years before tho war.
About l a 11 New York became as populous ns
Philadelphia, each containing 100,000inhabitants'
Baltimore overtook Boston about the year ItfllOj
The principles new cities grew to the numher o
10,000 nearly as follows; Pittsburg in 95 vears;
Louisville, 50 years; Cincinnati, 22 years, Cleve

Th - past Mild winter, succeed as it has been by the
frightful overflowing of the rivers, creeks, streams and
bayous iu the Southern and Western States, deluding
tlie face of the country for thousands of square miles,
together with the heavy rains which drenched the
earth the past spring, followed, as we predict by a hot
seorehing summer, cannot fail to create a general sick
ness, aud quicken into existence, malarious diseases of
the most malignant and violent character. The hot
rays of tiie absorbing sun will summon from its marshy
bed the noxious vapors and poisonous exhalations ot
decayed vegetable and decomposed matter, planted in
tlie soil, and nourished by the deluge of the waters and
dreuchings of the rain.
In giving this warning of the sure visitation of these
maladies, we likewise point out to the public the
means of protection against attacks, and the method of
cure. Iu Kndway’s Ready Relief aud Regulators, you
have a Preventive. If any or either of the diseases
above-named visit your community, as epidemics or
otherwise, RadKay's Ready Relief, taken as a drink in
some water three or four times per day, will fortify ihe
stomach against the action of any poisionousor mala
rious elements inhaled. The system thus fortified, the
malarious exhalation of gases enhaled loses itr* power,—
and health reigns throughout every ramification of the
body. 1 u all cases, when there are any dise ases or
sickness prevailing, the bowels, liver. &c., should be
regulated with Radwav’s Regulators. The highest
medieul authorities in the world endorse Railway's
Ready Relief as tin* best disinfectant in use. If nf-
tii t«*d with any of these maladies above-named, Rad
wav’s Relief and Regulators should be freely used; in
u few hours the patient will be out of danger.
For the Sores, Breaking out, Ac., Railway's Reno
vating Resolvent should be used. Provide yourself
with these remedies, and however terribly these dis
eases may rage, you are safe. Let every planter,
fanner, householder, take warning, and secure a sup
ply of Railway’s Ready Relief and Regulators, for in
such an hour you think not of. these maladies may visit
yon. With the Ready Relief to use the moment you
feel th<*ir approach, you can quickly arrest their pro
gress and free your system from their presence. «<61 ot.

Having had an opportunity to test tlie value of Prof.
O. J. Wood’s ilair Restorative, I am prepared to say,
tiiat it fully makes good its recommendations, by re
storing to more tlmn it original lustre, hair that
has become gray, or faded from age or disease.
It will give the hair a soft and pliable texture,
ami what is of still greater importance than that, it is
restored to health; it imparts to the whole system its
renovating, healing properties, and has a teudaucy to
restore health and prolonglife, and give to the aged the
appearance of youth. Its unequllea properties ought
to recommend it to every family. Try it, ye who labor
under any disease of the head, ancbyuu will never have

To the Public.
The, Press of this State, where the legality of
our laws ure better understood than in New York,
have s|ioken out so boldly and manfully against
the prosecution gotten up to annoy us, that it re
quires of us to say but little. By the considera
tion of rival Lotteries and political schemers, pre
sentments were found against us by the Grand
J ury of this county. \Ve were ready and desirous
to test the question, and (having employed coun
sel.) one of our firm came on from New York to
Georgia for tint purpose. The adjournment ofthe
Court, without our act, laid over ihe eases to tlio
next term, when we feel satisfied we will he en-
ble to maintain the rights which we have bought
and paid for. The Sparta Academy Lottery is
legal, and all tlie powers of tiie law our enemies
may try to no use for selfish purposes, eann it
takeaway these rights.
Our business goes on, uninterupted, and we aro
informed by counsel that there is not a line in tlio
Statute Bool; of Georgia authorising any interrup
tion with our drawings. Tiie lease has years to
run, and we assure the public that we have the
best counsel, who advise ns that we can maintain
our lights against every rivalry in our business.

The attention of tlie public is also called to tlio
following letter from Cor,. O. A. Lochkane, ono
ofthe Attoruies for 8WAN & CO.,
Macon, Ga.. June 2,1858.
Messrs. S. SWAN, A CO.. Augusta. Ga:
Gentlemen: I have received your letter relative
to the prosecution agaiust yon iu Richmond Su
perior Court, employing me as counsel, and will
appear in the cases for you. This I will do moro
heartily, from the peculiar circumstances under
which these prosecutions were commenced, for [
see by the newspn|- r articles enclosed, n despica
ble attempt resoried to. out of this State, to in-
tluence public opinion, by means of letters per-
retted to publication, by newspaper articles, and
tlie effrontery ofa New York Mayor presuming to
interfere with tlie rights and privileges of tlie peo
ple ot’Georgia. That all this meets my unquali
fied disapprobation I need scarcely remark; and to
assail this impudent dictation, this unmitigated
injustice in the court lions.* of Uichuiod county,
and hold it up to the scorn of the public, wiil n it
only be a professional duty, but I can add, a per
sonal gratification.
An interested zeal, or affected indignation against
lotteries, is no apology for attempting to over
whelm men in public opinion, without a fair anil
impartial trial, to which all arc by tin* law consti
tutionally entitled. I have examined the facts con
nected with the case, and felt satisfied tlie opinions
paraded as iufaiiiblu, an* untenable, unsustained
by law, and their publication for the reason re-
fered to, unjust. The lottery privilege under
which you draw, was granted previous to the act
of 12,53. upon which the presentments are founded.
The laws of 1833, by special proviso, lias no appli
cation to lotteries previously granted. The char
ter of the Sparta Academy Lottery was granted in
!22ii.and thus will fall the presentments. “That
it lias expired by its own limitation,” as stated, I
deny, and will maintain. There is no limitation of
time iu the charter the law expressly and une
quivocally negatives such an inference or construc
tion. The grant is jtiven to the trustees tnid to
tir ir successors in ojnee, not for any specified or
limited time, but lor a purpose to raise by lottery
a specified sum of money. The trustees ofthe
Academy, are now through you affecting and con-
sumnmttng tin.* purpose for which it was granted,
aud are receiving fln*ir instalments for the saute.
But these are questions for the court, and not the
public to try. We will there meet and argue them,
and. I believe, successfully and triumphantly; and
the result of the issue will evidence, that verdicts
written out; or manufactured, neither suit tlio
taste, temper, pride, independence or inteligenco
of a Georgia jury, who, being txclusitrjudges uf
both the law and the tacts, will not hesitate iu the
utterance uf their mm opinions, and tin: convic
tions of their own j udgement, irrer pective of dicta
tion from any quarter. Yonrs truly,
O. A. Louhkane,
Counsellor at Law.

Cjiup ioienlury.—Mr. King, of New York, com
menced a reply to Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, in
wbicli lie said:
‘1 suppose* I shall not be required to furnish un
derstanding to the Senator from Georgia, who has
chosen to misunderstand the facts of this case, and
of course thus to misstate them. 1 will read tiio
law.”
To which Mr. Toombs repiiid—
“I will certainly relieve the Semntor from New
York troin any obligation to lurnish me any brains
in this case, because 1 have seen nothing in that
Senator’s course which indicated that he could
.spare any.”
