Ir is not only a Cathartic, but a hirer reim dy, aetinjg first on the hirer to eject its morbid matter, than on the stomach and bowels to car ry off that matter,thus accomplishing; two purposes effec tual!}’, without any of the painful feelings experienced in the operations of most Cathartics. It strengthens the system at the same time that it purges it ; and when taken daily iu moderate doses; will strengthen and buiid it up with unusual rapidity. The Iriver is one of the| (principal regulators of the human body and when it • perforins its functions well the powers of the system cj are fully developed. The stomach is almost entirely Qj dependent on tin* healthy action of the hirer for the, proper performance of its functions; when the stom-A udi is at fault, the bowels are at fault, and the wliol -v system suffers in eonse quence of one organ—the - Silver—having ceased to do its duty. For the dis-!W cases of that organ, oneof the propnetors has made,* n his study, iu a pr of more than twenty ^ years, to find some remedy wherewith to counteract ,tin many derangements to which it is liable. .j To prove that this reni-Hj edv is at last found, any person troubled with Ijiv-*».c*r C'oinplsiiut, in any of its forms, Inns but to A,try u bottle; and tion is certain.

We hold that the State of Georgia should regard all In r free white citizens as equals, and by legislation should make no difference or distinction, by fostering the col leges on the one baud, and allowing but a pittance for the education of the poor on the other We think Georgia should occupy a more lofty position, and while wo would not wish to see any of our colleges go down for want of assistance, we, nev ertheless, think she should adopt some means by which a system of g< n> ral education should be established to give all her sons and daughters a liberal elementary education, upon terms of equal ity; she possesses property to the amount of six or seven million rdVIollars at least, and what high er ends we ask. can it be appropriated to, than those of educating the youth of our country; we would, tli re for.-, most respectfully and earnestly ask otir sister counties, and fellow Grand Jurors of the State, to t-rke this matter into consideration, and if in their sound discretion they concur with us in recommending a general system of educa tion that they are respectfully requested tojoin us in requesting or instructing our Senators and Rep resentatives to use their best influence to accom plish the desired end.

For cale at this office Sketches trom the Virginia Valley—my Lord Fairfax, of “Greenway Court.” Millwood, Clarke, (Va.,) Aug. 20, 1858. Editor of “the South." Not far from the spot whence I send you these hasty lines lived a man who exerted a marked influence upon the destiny of George Washington, and tjius upon the fate of North America. I refer to "Greenway Court," the former residence of Thomas Lord Fairfax, Baron of Cameron. It is an old house, with a long verandah, dormer win dows and low chimneys. Upon the roofs are perched two belfries, which once contained bells, I believe, but for what purpose cannot now be easily discovered Perl aps they were used to as semble the numerous retainers of his lordship to their meals, or for other purposes, but the most probable suggestion is, the Lord Fairfax placed them there to aid in giving the alarm when “Kill Buck.’’ ‘‘Kill Crane," or other barbarous neigh bors led bis Delawares or Tuscaroras in a foray against the border. Not far from the main dwelling is a small stone cabin in which Fairfax made out title deeds to all the surrounding county, aud where he always slept, sentinelled by his great deer and fox bounds. He was born about the beginning of the eigh teenth century, and early distinguished himself as a wit and fine gentleman—what we now call a man about town. There is good evidence that the young gentleman was “fast.’’ He entered the royal regiment of-the Blues, hut sold out, and ap plied bimselt to the more congenial occupation of holding the fans of countesses and playing tric trac and spadille. He became intimate with Addi son, Dick Steele, aud other literary- men who had then commenced the revolution in English essay writing. There is a well-accredited tradition that young Fairfax wrote one or two numbers of the “Specta tor.” It was then regarded as a proof of great natural good humor and condescension if a gentle man of noble lineage descended to the task of composing anything—that was left to the fraterni ty of Grub street—to the Johnsons, Drydetts, Ad disons, aud Fieldings. But for a yc ung lord to write well was even then considered a feather in bis cap, and Fairfax seems to have written well. At least his essays arc not distinguishable from Addi son’s and Steele’s, which is no small measure of praise. The inventory of books, at “Gieenway Court,” of which I possess a copy, would seem to indicate a somewhat cultivated taste for letters. Fairfax soon grew tired ot the frivolous pursuits of fashion, however, and sought fur a wife. He fell deeply iu love w ith a young lady, who received his addresses avoidably, and the day was appointed fur their marriage. The young man provided bim selt with the most splendid wardrobe aud equipage and wedding accoutrements, went to bring home madaiue, ids countess, and found that she had hastily married a ducal coronet which presented itselt just at the crisis. 8o much for the bride groom's experience of tlie fair sex. Tlie issue of bis matrimonial enterprise seems to have implanted in the bosom of the young lord a profound misanthropy and disgust for the human species— especially the fairer portion. After his London episode man did not delight him, “nor woman either.” He east about for the means of exiling himself from the noble circle in which he had so lately shone, and be found them. From his mother, a daughter of Lord Culpepper, he in herit! d some wild lands in North America, lying b;-iween two streams called Potomac and Rap pahannock, from mouth to Source. He determined to go and see them, and this determination was quickly carried out. Leaving the brilliant coun tesses, wits, and gallants, and all the splendors of the English court, he came to Virginia, never to leave it any more. At ‘ Beivoir,” the seat of Sir Win. Fairfax, on the Potomac, he made the acquaintance of a youth named Geoigu Washington, a relative of Lady Fairfax. The nobleman took a great fancy to the youth, told him a hundred stories, and, learning that surveying was his favorite pursuit, asked him if he would not like to lay out his lands beyond tlie Blue Ridge. The result of these conversa tions, fox-hunts, walks and talks with the Earl, was the expedition of young Washington, ac companied by Wm. Fait fax. a son of the owner of “Beivoir,” beyond tin* JAileghanies. The young men passed the Ridge at Ashby’s Gap in March, i74s—forded the Shenandoah, and slept at “my Lori l’airfax.s”—that is to say, at Greenway Court. This may be seeti from Washington’s journal. He was but sixteen, yet all his entries of of movements, occurrences, aud projects were as accurate as iu after life. The young surveyor went as far as the South* Branch of the Potomac, surveying assiduously ail the lands, making some times, In- says, as much as six pistoles a day ,andso returned. This expedition gave to Washington that experience and knowledge which soon after wards procured him the post of Lieutenant-com manding at Fort London, Winches,; and his services in the French war thereafter proved his fitness for the generalship of the American forces in 1775. Humanly speaking, Lord Fairfax was the secret influence which shaped the whole career of Washington. The proprietor of these immense tracts of land determined soon afterwards to visit the valley. He carried out his intention, built the house called Greenway. and removed thither—never to leave the region again for any length of time, and to die in it. He organized a species of rude feudal court at this spot in the wilderness—assembled around him a class of companions, or rather de pendents, as rude as the bear and panther of the forest, and here, far from the court, surrounded by- wild beasts and savages, he serenely passed the remainder of his life. He had a great fondness for hounds and dogs of every description. They slept upon his floors—not seldom upon him when ever he moved. His table was profusely spread every day in the year, aud all who choose might pertake of tiie tude hospitality. Stories of the bordery, hunting adventures,dangerous encounters with savages or panthers, would enliven time. Tho man who had ambled foppishly upon bis high-heeled shoes itt the finest saloons of London —who had exchanged satire with the smiling Mr. Addison, and bowed above the jewelled hands of the most, beautiful Duehesess—found a life more congenial in the wilderness; a society which in terested him far more than that of lords and ladies. His golden lace had yielded to drab and fur—bis cocked hat made way for an otter skin cap; the delicate hand which had once daintly shuttled the cards at spadille, was now taivny and hard by sunshine and cold, it grasped a rifle or a knife. He greatly enjoyed rough practical jokes iu hunting. If my lord could play a trick upon his fellow-huntsman, he w as more delighted than if be had played the act at tric-trac. But his former tastes had not entirely left him. In his library, mixed with guns, ii-hing-rods, deer antlers, and fox tails, were many volumes, of which I would present a list, were it necessary. Among th. m tv. re the works of Fielding, the “.Spectator," with its associate collection of essays, A Peerage, the History of Barbadoes, Common Prayer books, aud volumes of Divinity, with many of the classics, in the original. If he grew weary of his rude companions, tho nobleman, now gradually growing old, might thus retire to his study, open his “Spectator,” and live as in early life, hear the musical voice of Addison or the eloquence of Bolingbrokc, aud read, perhaps in essays from bis own pen, bis own youthful satire upon former manners—ou foibles and fashions which hud disappeared, and personages who hud lain for years iu their graves. He had retained an English chariot, also, I am informed by an old gentleman whose hither visited Given way Court late in the century The visitor went to call mi my lord, and met with a splendid coach, drawn by lour or six horses, pursuing the same route. Within sat I ord Fairfax, clad richly, and wrapt in a red velvet, like Richelieu or Mazarin. Ho was very courteous, but somew hat reserved, said the worthy gentleman. It is proba ble that this meeting took place on Lord Fairfax’s return from the banks of the Potomac, where he chose to appear iu a guise befitting his rank and position. In the valley, however, he was a plain hunter. He fiih-d ably the post of lieutenant of Frederick county, which was then almost a principality, aud many of his summonses to the mihtia are still extant, in his own handwriting. In religion Lord Fairfax was a Swedenborgii^; and an amusing anecdote is rel itc-dof him, iu con nection with this fact. He was once crossing the Potomac at Alexandria iu a (err;- boat, and during liis passages the ferryman heaid him muttering to himself and talking with the air of one who was carrying on a conversation w ith others; curiosity prompted the man to ask an explanation of this singular proceeding: whereupon Lord Fairfax, with great politeness aud serenity, replied that he was “conversing with, l’eter aud Pan’.” Upon reaching tiie bank, be offered the teiryman the amount demanded of a single passenger, but that worthy demurred. As Peter aud Paul had been in tin*" bout he said it was no more than right that bis Lordship should pay for his friends, inas much as incumbrances did not permit bint, tlie .ferryman, to demand of those gentlemen what they owed him. To this facetious view Fairfax readily assented; no doubt it pleased bis eccentric taste, of which a species of grim humor was a marked characteristic. He paid for Peter and Paul, his friends It is farther stated that the succeeding lord was also a Sn-edenborgian, aud that when the chairs were placed at the dinner table a seat was left vacant for one of his sons who had died some years before. In person the master of Greenway Court was tall, jaunt, bony, and with a cast in the eye. But all the authorities agree that his society was extremely attractive. He possessed the talent of relating anecdotes admirably, and he knew many referring to celebrated personages of Queen Anne's reign. The great disappointment of his life seems to have soured an otherwise amiable disposition, and driven him to the great valley; but be still re tained many of the most attiactive traits of the scholar, the gentleman ot society, the courteous gentleman. He died in 1782, soon after the sur render of Cornwallis at Yorktown. When In- heard of that event he was in Winchester. It seemed to strike him as a blow strikes. He laid down the paper containing the intelligence, beckoned to bis old body servant, and, leaning on bis arm, muttered, “Take me to bed, Joe; it is time for me to die!” He did not long survive the shock. It was indeed time for the old nobleman to retire from an arena upon which he no longer saw anything but disgrace, defeat, mortification. The harsh storm of tlie revolution beat too violently for his enfeebled nerves; the rude blast made him trem ble like a yellow leaf on the bough, and when the climax of that hurricane at Yorktown came to him, he wa* borne away, aud disappeared. What days must those have been for hint—the days suc ceeding Yorktown! What a wondrous world ot thought must he have lived in—what a tumult of memories, agitations, and regrets! He hed been born a nobleman, and bad shone at court; be was dying amid the wilds of the New World, in another age, which had completely forgotten the days of his youth He had trained a young surveyor, a boy of sixteen, on whose curling bead his band had often been affectionately laid; and now that boy was general in-chief of tiie American army— tlie conqueror of the stout and hardy Cornwallis— tlie prime agent in humbling the power of Eng land in America—tlie Father of his Country! That was tlie boy whom he had once known—a splendid figure, covered with the dazzling light of glory— the object of ail eyes—the pride and joy of a great nation; and he, Thomas Lord Fairfax, Baron of Cameron, a noble of the land thus humbled, was dying in obscurity and loneliness. Truly, it was time for him to die! But Lord Fairfax cannot be forgotten. His influence on the life of George Washington was immense, and thus his name is rivetted in the Pantheon of history by chains of adamant. Asa mere English nobleman he would long since liave passed into oblivion; as lord-proprietor of the ‘ Northern Neck” aud the great tracts beyond the mountain, bis name might have lingered for a time—to be forgotten, however in a few genera tions; but he was more than an English nobleman, more than loru-pioprietor of this magnificent principality. He was the friend of a young sur veyor but that young surveyor was named George Washington. From him Lord Fairfax derives his importance. The star of his life revolved for a time beside that august planet, and the light thence borrowed shines in otir eyes to-day. The representative of a proud English name is only remembered for his connection with a Virginia boy. These two figures moved together side by side here at “Greenway Court,” the old man and the youth—the noble and the mere gentleman—the monarchist and the republican. The future was to hold strange secrets, but the veil was not yet drawn from the face of the great drama—that drama which, commencing on the height of Boston, was to end amid the roar of cannon on the banks of the Chesapeake. Let us lose sight, however, of all this long procession of mighty events, of disastrous reverses and resplendent triumphs. Let us see. here at Greenway Court, the gray haired noble only and the smiling boy. The old walls seem to speak of them. The great locusts which droop above the roof and fill the airs of spring with fragrance, sheltered, it may be, from the summer sun the bare brow of the young sur veyor. The old house slowly crumbles; all the sylvan pngean of the past, the baying hounds, the rugged borderers, the lurking Indian, have disap peared—soon the old mansion, too, will go. Let us revive the figures of the past while that is pos sible. The cracked bells in the belfries sound no more; but, as you leave the spot, they seem to ring again a merry peal or a stern alarm from the haunted land of the far border past! Lora Fair fax strides across the green, surrounded by his rude companions in the chase—his deer hounds run to lick his hands and struggle for his rough caresses: and yonder, rapidly approaching from beneath the heavy foliage of the forest, weary with a long day’s work, and glad to get back to the hospitable roof, you may see the graceful figure aud honest face of young' George Washington. - ESSEX. From tho National Intelligencer. The Capture of Osceola. A question having been recently started respect ing the circumstances which attended the capture of tho Seminole warrior Osceola, Major General Jesup, of the United States army, with the view of placing in their true light the incidents con nected with a transaction in which he was per sonally and prominently an actor, avails himself of the ocasjon thus offered to present, in the sub joined paper, a narrative of that interesting event m the history of the “Florida war.” Statement of Major General Jesup. A matter has been recently brought into discus sion with which my name was connected some twenty years ago, aud, though explained at the time, seems not even now to be well understood. It lias been published in a neighboring print, on the authority of a distinguished professional aud public man. that the Seminole Indian warrior Osceola, who, by the murder of Gen. Thompson and by other atrocities, began the Seminole war, ■‘teas cuptured by treachery and fraud,” and that. “trhen dying in his hopeless capticity, his bitterest regret tens that history mould deprice him of the. honor of winning the battle of IVitMacoochee."— Had the gentleman who penned the paragraph referred to (a part of which is quoted above) been better acquainted with the details the of transac tion, he would have been aware that the late Gen. Clinch won the battle of Withlaeooebee, and that there is some doubt whether Osceola was in the battle at all. With that portiftn of the story, however, I have no further concern than a desire to vindicate the truth of history and the reputa tion of a departed friend. But the other part of the story, fcontaining the charge that Osceola “was raptured by treachery ond fraud," concerns me alone; aud, tiue, would not only be damning to me, but be a stain upon the character of the country for all time to come; for, when in command of the southern army in I&37, I as the representative of the government ordered the seizure and retention of that warrior. Osceola had come into Fort Peyton, a few miles from St. Augustine, not on my invitation, nor nor that of any other officer; but he, with bis warriors, bad accompanied a messenger of Emath- la. (King Philip,) tlie principal chief of all the Seminole bands on and near the river St. John’s, who had been captured some time before, and who had been allowed to commuuicate with bis peo ple on his assurance that they, or the greater part of them, would come in and accompany him to the West. Osceola, no doubt, intended to return should he fail in the object that really brought him in, which was to capture the place and re lease tlie prisoners. In a conference which I held with the Seminole chiefs, at their own request, but a few weeks be fore. I had assuied them that I would hold no further conference with them, except to receive from them the notice of their readiness to fulfil their obligations under the treaty at Payne’s Landing and their capitulation with me at Fort Dade: tint I assured them that when prepared to tuttil thosi obligations I would receive tliem and provide for their removal to the new country as signed to them west of the Mississippi; and if any separate parties or bands should decide to come iu before the body of the nation were ready to move I would receive and protect them. The chiefs expressed some apprehension that in coming in to me they might be attacked by my scouting parties and their people be scattered. To enable them to join me without danger of at tack from those parties I provided them with a quantity of white cotton cloth to be used as flags in communicating with any of those parties they might fall in with aud with my outposts; but tlie Hags were to be used for no other purpose ; and the'chiefs were distinctly and positively told that none of them nor their people must attempt to come in again, but to remain. When .Philip’s messenger, his son Coacooclie, left St. Augustine to communicate with his people on the St. John’s there were but few troops at the post. Oil meet ing with Osceola he informed them that he could, with a hundred warriors, take the place and release his father. Warriors enough arrived to have laken the place had the force nut been increased; but, before they came in, I had thrown in large reinturcements. I had become acquainted with their designs through Indian negroes, some of whom remained with tlie Indians and possessed the confidence of tlie chiefs, hut whom 1 had in constant pay. aud from whom I received informa tion ot all that took place among them. When Osceola found there was no chance of taking St. Augustine, nor of releasing the prisoners, he de- terinined to return, as I was informed by the In dian negroes about him. But lie, with all who accompanied him, had come in with the distinct understanding that they were not to return. He was a prisoner who had violated his parole; he had killed oneof my messengers in time of truce, when going under tlie sanctity of a flag with a message to chiefs iu his neighborhood; and he would have killed a second messenger but for the energetic interference of Appiacca, (Sam Jones ) the Miccasuky chief now in Florida, who inter posed, saved" him, and sent him back to me at l'ampa Bay; be bad also violated the last truce made by me with the chiefs. By either one of these acts had forfeited his life by the iaws and usages of war as recognized by civilized nations. Had I allowed myself to be trifled with, and my solemn assurances to the chiefs that none were o come in but to remain to be falsified, I should have received as I would have deserved, their •com and contempt. It was my dnty to the c |> u, ‘£y to detain them, and I directed that all should be secured and detained. In the closing report of the operations of the army under my command, dated the 6th of July, 1838, which wa3 called for by a resolution of the Senate, and printed by order of that body, and thus became a part of the documentary history of the country, I stated all the facts in regard to the detention of Osceola which could then be disclos ed without compromising persons in the Indian country, and under Indian control, and embarrass ing my successor in command; but facts wore then given sufficient to the complete understand, ing of the merits of the case. For the truth of that report I w as then, as 1 am now, both official ly responsible. The prominent facts of the report were stated by Col. Benton in a speech in the Senate and by Judge Underwood in the House without contradiction. Every one who has read the Articles of War is aware that my commission was pledged for tho truth of my report in all its parts. I was here r ady to meet any investiga tion either before Congress or before a court of my peers: but my report. I have reason to know, was satisfactory to tlie government, as I believe it was to every fair nijndeil and honest man in the country who read it at the time. Osceola had, by his repeated violations of the usages of war, forfeited lus life, particularly by his attempt to use a flag for hostile purposes at St. Augustine, which made hitn a spy ng well by the laws of nations as by our own Articles of War. Wnetln r lie should he punished as a spy was at the time merely a question of policy with me. I could have convicted him; but to have done so I should have lost the services of all who would have testified against him, as not one of them could have returned to the Indian country with out the certainty of being put to death. 5 could not afford to lose the services of the witnesses in ftlture operations, even bad I been inclined to pro ceed against him criminally, which j was not.— Had we been at war with Britain or France, how ever, and Osceola been a British or French gener al, his fate would have been that ot Andre. But, though ail intelligent and talented man, he be longed to a savage tribe, not supposed to be ac quainted with the laws of nations or the usages of war; and, in place of punishing him. I sent him out of the country, to Charleston, a prisoner. In my course on that occasion I was influenced alone by the high obligations of public duty ; nnd if called upon to act in a similar case to-day, were tlie circumstances the same, I should con- « ' ler it mv duty to the country to act as ] acted en. ‘ THOS. JESUP. Georgia Deaf and Dumb Asylum. We have, ever since the meeting at Cave Spring, endeavored to inform ourselves as to the real merits of the controversy bettveen Mr. Fan nin and his friends, and the Institution. As far as we have been able to determine, tlie whole matter in dispute amounts to simply this: Mr. S J. Johnson used to be Steward, but is Steward no longer; Mr. O. P. Fannin used to be Principal, but is Principal no longer, both want to get back in their old places, and hence all this bobbery which is being kicked tip—this is the issue in a nut shell, and it covers the whole ground of secta rianism, Ac., Ac., charged. It is a fight of the outs to get in, and of course the real issue is not presented. Six of the Board of Commissi iners are personally and well known to us, and a seventh, though personally unknown, is yet quite well known to us by reputation Two of the Board we do not know at ull, but presume that of course Gov. Brown would not have appointed incompetent men to fill their positions. Now , it is exceedingly strange that the Board of Commissioners should have been unanimously in favor of Mr. Fanuiu's removal, if he is the much abused man he is rep resented to be. We have always supposed there were two sides to questions generally, but from the proceedings of the meeting at Cave Spring, the reader would be led to suppose that there was only one side to the matter dispute, and that there was not, throughout the eutire length and breadth of these United States, another man competent to be principal of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, at Cave Spring, but Mr. Fannin. lit regard tc the charge of sectarianism which has been made against tlu* Boiu^fbf Commissibners it is very unaccountable tflit two prominent Methodist members of it, and one who, though not a communicant in ar.y church, has yet a leaning towards that denomination, should have joined in an effort to prescribe their owu adopted religious tenets. Under this view, the charge is absurd. It is farther still more strange, it Mr. Fannin's removal was instigated mainly by op position to his religious views, that a member of the same denomination should have been chosen as his successor. Again, it is complained that Mr. Fannin has been turned off to give place to a Northern man. The reply to his charges is, that Mr. Dunlap, who succeeds Mr. Fannin's i.s a native-born Virginian. It is also asserted that Mr. Fannin is the found er and father of the Asylum, and that therefore ho is entitled to remain as Principal. Answer; First we hear it denied that Mr. Fannin is the founder and father of the Asylum. Second, it is a State Institution, and no man has a right to occupy any office within it, should it not prove to the best interests of the State to retain him. If the Asy lum belonged to Mr. Fannin, then lie might talk of his right to be its principal, but not til! then. The truth is that the patronage of the establish ment has been, for many years, flowing into tho pockets of the opposition to the Democracy; and now, when, by the removal of Mr. Johnson and Mr. Fannin, the patronage flows in a different channel, the pockets which have been theyears- long recipients are getting uneasy, and their owners very clamerous, considering themselves outraged—aye, wofully abused and injured men. Rome Southerner, Cse Plenty of Grary.—Dr. Dixon, in a lato num ber of the Scalpel, in au article on “Diet,” assumes the position that the use of oil would decrease the victims of consumption nine tenths, and that this is the whole secret of the use of cod liver oil, and quotes tho following summary observations on this subject made by Dr. Hooker; Of all persons between the ages of fifteen and twenty-two years, more than onc-tifth eat no fat meat. Of persons at tho age of forty five, all excepting less than one in fifty habitually use fat meat. Of persons who between the ages of fifteen and twenty two avoid fat meat, a few acquire an ap petite for it, aud live to a good oid age, while the greater portion die with phthisic before thirty- five. Of persons dying with phthisic between the ages of twelve and forty-five, nine-tenths at least have never used fat meat. Most individuals who avoid fat meat, also use little butter or oil gravies; though they should compensate for this want, in part at least, by free use of these articles and also milk and eggs; and various saccharine substances. But they constitute an imperfect substitute for fat meat, w ithout which sooner or later the body is almost sure to show the effects of deficient colori- fi cation. A Methodist Minnistrr Shot.— The Rev. P. E. Green, the minister in charge of the Warren coun ty Circuit, Miss., was shot at Montalbou, last Tuesday morning, by a man named Fisher. The woutid is said to be mortal. Fisher has fled. The Vicksburg Ifhig says the cause of the shooting was, that Fisher’s wife had joined the chinch lately—and Fisher meeting Mr. G., abused him terribly, and finally pulled out a pistol and shot itim. — Eje-President.—Xan Buren arrived In Oswego just at the close of the terrible storm of Friday and was told that the hotel which he selected had just beeu struck by lightening in seven places. "I think," said he, “that’s the house for me.— I won’t come again.” The sagicious statesman showed his usual caution. The ex-President, af ter visiting the State fair went to see bis old friend Ooi enor Throop, wlio has his home on the banks of the Owasco. They are happiar now than when evejry morning aroused them to the cares aud clamor of the political strife. Rev. Ralph Hoyi and Madame Lola Montez.— Some of tlie journals, we see, are lashing a very worthy Episcopal clergyman of the city of New York, Rev. Ralph Hovt. for accepting aid from Madame Lola Montez to help rebuild his church, which an uncivil gust of wind blew awav some time since. If is difficult to appreciate the reas onableness or the fairness of this sort of censure. Lola may not be a saint—none of us are saints— but. if she is willing to do a good thiug in a right way, why not let her?
