ofoobV amihot drink*, ofthe use of
Kfisi. r tlmn wood or ouilli. anil ofallilv
hardrr then wood or quills, and of all dentri
llix’S prepared by toiltiiewn bands, should be
impressed u|*on the minds of tho young with
great assiduity.
Harm has been done by propagating the no
tion that sugar- is injumus to the teeth, by di
verting attention from real causes of destruction
or decay. The eating of any amount of pure
sugar cannot injure the teeth directly, because
it has no residue ; it is wholly dissolved, and
passes into the stomach.
But let it bo roaicmliored that Hie practice of
eating Sugars or camlies or any other sweet
meats largely, will inevitably cause a disorder
of the stomach and genera’* gases there, which
will speedily undermine the health of the teeth.
lty insisting too much on the fact that sugars
and' candies destroy the teeth, an impression
will grow that if these are mainly avoided, the
person so doing will havo good teeth ; and this
leads the mind sway from the necessity of keep
ing the mouth dean and the stomach healthful.
If these things are well done, and the teeth
are kept plugged in a finished style, teeth na
turally or hereditarily “poor” may be kept in
a good state of preservation for many years.
All forms of dyspepsia have a direct tenden-.
cy to destroy the teeth. Whatever causes acid
ity of the stomach is ruinous to the teeth. A
tablespoonful of the purest syrup of loaf sugar,
taken three times a tlay before meals, will des
troy tho tone of the healthiest stomach in a ve
ry short tinv*. And when it is remembered
how many patent medicines arc made up in the
forms of syrups and sweet lozenges, and how
common the use ol them has become, it need
not be wrmined at that every second or third
person met on ilvo street, know s the meaning
of “sour stom ch” or dyspepsia. It has been
shown that if» sound tooth be steeped in syr
up for some days, it becomes a soil, pulpy
mass. That does not prove that it is injurious
to the teeth, because it was a'deod tooth ; and,
further, such a -tec-ping of a live tooth is im
possibly.. The gastric juice is innocuous to a
hying stomachl but at the very moment of
death that same gastric juice begins to cat up
• the stomach. So it is inconclusive to reason
from the living to the dead, or tict term.
It is urged bv many that calomel is a roost
deadly ngent lo' tlio teeth, and yet if a sound
too til is soaked lor weeks together in a solution
of calbmei, no apparent effect whatever is pro
duced on it ...
So far from sugars and pure candies .injuring
the teeth or- the health, they would, if used
wisely and in moderation,- as sole desserts, bo
actual preservatives of both” especially if al
ternated, ns d.-Rserte, with fruits and lorries iri
thoir natural, raw, ripe, fresh, perfect statu,"by
banishing from our tables tho pestiferous pie,
the haden pudding, and pastries add cakes‘of
every name, which, *8 desserts,-always tempt
to excesses which lay the foundation for dis
coses winch torture forn lifetime ofbringspeed-
fly to the grave. - • - r*
Let the spirit of tliis article be distinctly un
derstood. Pure sugars and candies do not in
jure the teeth, exetpt indirectly by their inju
dicious uso inciting acidity of stomach or dys
pepsia, ns wiU any other kind of food or drink,
or beverage, ifextravagantly tiasd.
At seasons of the year when fruits and ber
ries rosy not be lind ripe, fresh and perfect, as
tWMte, fun- nugnrs and candies may bo used
is also equally true that the splendid steamer
that carried passengers across the Susquehan
na on tho same road has been scuftled and
sunk.
And tho bridges on the Northern Central Rail
road, fourteen miles from Baltimore, have been

Incidents of’tho Battle in Baltimore.
While the cars containing the troops were
standing at the President street depot, a clerk
from the custom-house went into one of Hicm
and denounced the soldiers in bitter terms. A
captain ordered him out, threatening if he did
.not go they would fireenhim. He replied they
were too ’cowardly to fire, when the offlder
struck at him with his sword, wliidli blow he
received on the left hand, and with the other
knocked him down and took his sword from
him, as also the scabbard. A private interfered
for the protection of his commander, and him
too the clerk knocked down with a heavy drawn
pistol, and escaped with his prize—the sword
—the only injury ho received being a pretty
Severe cut across his hand.
At the intersection of Gay and Pratt streets
while the soldiers were firing upon the crowd,
two other clerks from tho same place ran into
the ranks, and each knocking down a soldier
with his fist, and bore offtheir muskets as tro
phies of their exploit.
The young man shot in the leg, and taken to
tlio infirmary, and attended by Dr. Morris, ap
peared quite* grateful for the humane attention
shown him. When asked why he came,' the
simple and unsophisticated reply of tho youth
was, “Oh, tho Flag—the Stars and Stripes!”
It was expected that the wounded log would

be pleased to give him fit teen dollars in gokl
or silver for that amount in paper. A young
min in thtf crowd handed him a twenty dollar

“I left in so great haste that I did not have time

PROGRESS OF THE TROOPS.
Acocsta, April 21, 1861.
Dear Telegraph :—After passing a sleepless
nigbt on the cars, we arrived at this place at
7 a* m,, this morning. At this early hour wo
little expected to sec the streets so densely fill
ed with early risers. But the spirit of patriot
ism is thoroughly aroused, and it matters little
at what hour the defenders of our country and
our rights come forth, the people are always
ready to receive them. The Clinch Rifles,
Capt. Platt, and the Richmond Hussars, Capt -
Stovall received us at the depot; and after we
had equipped ourselves with muskets, which,
were in readiness'for us at the Arsenal, escorted
us -to the South Carolina Depot.
At this point we learned that no provision
had been made to convey us oo onr way until
3 p. in.. You may well know that we were
greatly disappointed, tor we would have pre-
lerreclfo have remained in Macon all our 6pare
time.. As it is,. the members of the several
corps are attending church, and passing the
Sabbath as is tlieir wont The courtesy which
j»’e have received at the hands of the hospita
ble inhabitants of this beautiful City will lie
long and gratefully remembered. All arc in
good spirits and none more so than the
Captains of the Guards, Volunteers and Rf
wlio are making the best ol everything that
passes. We can never forget tbc parting scene
at Macon: indeed, it was the constant 'theme
of conversation on the Cars, and many brave
hearts will be nerved to deeds qf daring when
they think of the thousands of whiteoed faces
fbat bid them such an affectionate farewell.
Our thanks arc due to one and all, and to none
more so than the members of the Macon Cor
nel Band, who kindly volunteered their ser
vices to the Battalion that night. As before
stated, we leave this cvcniug and hope to have
no more delays until we reach our destination.
The Macon Boys are congratulating each other
on their goodduck, in being -ordered together.

of a war upon the iibertysnd independence of
the South by an effort to subjugate her, which
their own good sense must tell them will be
fruitful only of evil to both sections—that
honorable exception is Daniel S. Dickinson,
But perhaps it would be unfair to say, as the
Mercury does, that these men have proved all
their past professions of principle false and de
ceitful. We still belieVc they were honest in
their past professions, and their positions now
are rather the result of outside pressure and
terrorism. Accepting the. division as a thing
fiml, no chance for place or safety isrlcft them
but to fall in with the crowd and shout Tor
blood. Tho point, it is true; is rather imma
terial, but still in self-defence and in confidence
of the justice qf our cause, we will believe they
were honest then, and have fallen from grace
under the terrorism of mob law.

THE BLUNDERS OF THE FANATICS.
Twenty years of uninterrupted Northern
blunders, infatuated blindness and folly, have
culminated in an appeal to the sword—twenty
years of a blindness so sottish—so impenetra
ble, that many Southern Statesmen siy the
North meant fight in the beginning, and shaped
her whole action to bring it about as soon as
possible. Butif we reject this deduction, it is al
most incredible that a.people shrewd and prac
tical as the N wtherners are in other ru ittcf-s,
should luve displayed such folly and inisjudg-
uient in all that relates to their connection with

Mr. Cmsby.--Dear Sir:—Thinking that a

little information regarding our whereabouts,
condition, &c., might prove interesting. I have
concluded to convey the same through yo'ur
valuable medium to our friends.
We have only up to this date received a few
copios of the Telegraph, I believe tho issue of
Wednesday and Thursday, which were eagerly
inquired for, read, .and preserved to be re read.
Messrs. Champion & Freeman of -Savannah,
have kindly offered to forward air articles for
the Macon Guards. By directing the papers df
our subscribers to their care,, it will greatly ex
pedite tlieir reception. %
Wc all arrived sound and sober at Sa

tents on "Camp Lawton." and were quartered
by the Government at the Gibbon’s 'Hoose,

Whereas, by resolution of the Council, it
has been made the duty of the Mayor, to call
upon our citizens, to enroll-themselves in the
several fire Companies, to fill vacancies caused'
by the departure of our Military Companies,
the undersigned takes occasion in performing
that duty, to urge upon all, the importance of
organizing at Once.
Already the vacancies in the Military depart
ment arc being rapidly filled up—a large body
of citizens are being organized to uphold the
ann of authority in the police department, nyd
it but requires the enrollment of a sufficient
number hi the fire department, to place tbecity
in as complete a state ot security, as is- necessa
ry, even in: these exciting times, and it is not
supposablp that the patriotic alacrity that lias
characterised our action hitherto, shall Stop
short here. Our Engineer in Chief of the fire
department, XIv. Obear.'will receive the amines
ami assign the duties of those who shall come
f rward. - * *
•Deprecating the spirit of mob violence now
so rampant in the Northern cities, and having
no desire that our generally orderly and law-
abiding citizens should be contaminated by
snch pestilent example, the city authority here
by declares its firm determination to up hold the
Majesty of law and warns tlioset if. any such
there be, who would take it in tlieir-own hands,
that they do it at tlieir peril. Commending
proper vigilance while deprecating excess, it of
is hoped that the untried exigencies of a state,
war, may be met by our citizens with the calm
ness and self-possession of conscious power, that
general confidence may be maintained between
man and man; and that the rights of person
and property shall remain inviolate.

Near the northeast corner of the Queen’s

painted the Crown Royal and V. R. In this
kiln arc burnt all such gootls'as do not fetch
the amount of their duty and customs' charges;
tea, having onee t set the chimney of the kiln on
fire, is rarely burnt, and tile wine and spirits are
emptied into the docks. The huge mass of fire
in the furnace is fed day and night with con-
denined goods. On one. occasion nine hundred
Australian mill ton hams were -burnt; on . an
other forty five thousand pairs of French

Blockade Decreed—Penallies af Piracy
Threatened.—The President of the Black Re

which, after several whereases, he says:
“I have further deemed it advisable to sct.cn
foot a blockade of the ports within the States
aforesaid, in pursuance of the laws of the Uni
ted States and of the law of nations in such
case provided. For this purpose, a competent
force will he posted so as to prevent entrance
and exit of vessels from the ports aforesaid.—
If, therefore, with a view to violate such block
ade, a vessel shall approach, or attempt to leave
any of the said ports, she will be duly warned
by the commander of one of the blockading ves
sels, who will endorsc"on her register the fact
and date of su-h warning: and if the same ves
sel shall again attempt to enter or leave the
blockaded port, she will be captured and sent,
to the nearest convenient port, for such pro
ceedings against her and he^ cargo, as prizes,
as may be deemed advisable.
r\nd I hereby proclaim and dodarc that if
any person, under the pretended authority of
the said States, or under any other pretense,
sha-1 molest a vessel of the United States, or
♦be persons or cargo on board of her, such per
son will be held ameanablc to the laws of the
Uniteff States for thp prevention and punish

President Davis and “Repudiation.”—^Wc
find copied In an exchange from the New “York
Tribune the following statement which every
one familiar with 51ississppi politics vrill at
once discover to be a tissue of fho vilest misrep
resentation :
“From the Legislature, the n stion at issuo.
went into politics. Jefferson Divis, now Prcs-
•'dent of the new'Cotton Republic, -beenrife the
champion of repudiation.. He repeated Get.
McNutt’s infamous shuffle all over the State,
with arguments peculiarly his own. Senator
Henderson opposed him vigorously, but to tlio
shame of the people bo it said, they' sustained
Davis, and in 1842 elected a Legislature which
enacted a law forever repudiating the bonds."
The assault upon President Davis is *n indi
rect and covert attack upon the credit of tlie
Government of which he is chief Executive. To
show the ignorance of its author, and that wliat
ho says is simply the promptings of malice; -it
is only'necessary to mention that he was hot in
political life at the tfmc he is assigned'Uy the
writer the leadership for “repudiation." He did
not Oppose Gen. Henderson upon the bond
question.
isouri controversy disclosed to the eyes of every
sagacious Southcrp mar. the yawning abyss
ahead. The. stoke* was then comparatively
small and feeble, but the fate of the Union hung
on the rdsult of the controversy. Tint contro
versy fell on the cars of Jcflerson like the omi
nous tones of “a firc-bcH at night! ’ An .in
terval of twenty odd years followed, in which the
awful potency of this mighty element of destruc
tion was manifest only at limes, as tiic rumblings
of the Volcano at rest betray tho hidden fires
beneath. -In 1847, tjje. fires burst forth again,
and the Republic trembled to its foundations
under tlie mighty throes of this controversy.
Then nearly'onc half the people of tho South,
believing the quarrel -irreconcilable on any
terms short of a total surrender of all-onr con
stitutional rights, were ready for disunion. But
a temporary quiet was restored by compromise,
and the storm passed over—not, however,
without leaving a deep and wide feeling of dis
content and insecurity dh the Southern mind,
which steadily increased every year, as R be
came apparent that the terms and conditions of
tho compromise where wholly misunderstood
or misinterpreted by tho North. Tho most

In addition to the other excitements here to

and political degradation. Our young politi-

keep outsiders from conversing with tlie men.

plied :
“Would you kill your brother without a
cause ? . No, sir. We are soldiers,- ’tis true,
and our business is to fight, and we will fight,
if wc can fight Tudians or Mexicans, but tlie
boys never will fight their own countrymen.”
The officers are not pleased with the prospect
of a collision with their own fellow-countrymen

but from the drift of their talking it is inferred
that -they arc destined for Fort Pickens, which
IS to b? reinforced'and provisioned by aid.of

A Shark Witness.’—In the United Service
Museum, Whitehall Yard, London,"are exhibi
ted the “jaw of a shark,” wide open, and in
closing a tin box. The history of this strange
exhibition is as follows: A ship" on her way to
the West Indies, “fell in with” and chased a
suspicious-looking craft, which had all the ap
pcarance of a slaver. During the pursui', the
chased vessel threw something overboard. She
was subsequently captured, and taken into Port
Royal as a slaver. • In the absence of the ship’s
papers and other prooffe, the slaver was not only in
a fair way to escape condemnation, but her cap
tain was anticipating the recovery of pecuniary
damages against illegal detention. WhHe the
subject wns under discussion, a vessel came into
port which (tad followed closely in. the track
of the chase above described. She hadeaught
a shark, and in its stomach was found a tin box,
which contained the slaver’s papers. Upon the
strength of this evidence, the slaver was con
demned. The written accouut of it is attached
to the box. [Notes and Queries.
