- - “Opening their Eyes.”
Humiliating as it is to know that neither temperance
eloquence, argument or pathos produces any impres
sion upon the masses, it is, nevertheless, at the same
time, encouraging to know that there is something which
can rouse the apprehensions of rum suckers and guz
zling drunkards. “They arc becominggreatlv terrified at
the deadly strychnine and poisonous drugs with which
liquors are medicated. There is likely to be a great
demand for liquor inspectors under the new law, judg
ing from the serious cotnplaiuls and solemn suggestions
which we hear from the whiskeyiles in all parts oJ the
country. This drugging system has, to our certain j
knowledge, been productive of great benefit within the
fast few months, by way of scaring habitual drinkers |
from the use of intoxicating spirits. In an adjoining !
county an old grey haired man, whose “sands of life j
have nearly run out,” and who has been a laithiul and
devoted worshipper at the shrine oi Bacchus until his
substance and the strength of his manhood had well nigh
been swallowed up in the scathing draught, has recently
been frightened into sobriety : and we arc rejoiced to
learn that at a late revival he connected himself with
the church, and is now a reformed and regenerated
man, and a consistent christiau. VVc are happy in re
cording the circumstance, no matter what may have
been the agencies which wrought his conversion ,
“and there is more joy in Heaven over one sinner who
repenteth, than over ninety and nine just persons who
need no repentance.” We have strong hopes for the
salvation of this old imbiber, for lie has been raised
from his filthy corruption, and as lie looks down from
his now exalted position and contemplates the low deg
radation in which he has been so long wallowing, his
hatred towards the tyrannical demon will grow stron
ger, and he will swear uncompromising hostility to the
old enemy which has so long held him in grovelling
servitude. If strychnine is to be our most effectual aid,
and only hope, we would say to retailers and liquor
doctors, in with it, ad infinitum. And it seems from the
wailing and gnashing of teeth among old soakers, mod
erate drinkers, et id omne genus, which comes up from
theseliot bedsof death, all through the country, that their
proprietors are mixing in the compounds to perfection.
We give here an example of the component parts and
the modus operandi of flavoring brandy :
It should be known that Cognac brandy is generally
adulterated with Spanish brandy, old neutral flavoured
rum, rectified spirits of high wines, British brandy bit
ters. British brandy, composed of 80 gallons oi recti
fied spirits, 7 gallons of vinegar, 12 oz. of orris root, 15
lbs raisins and 2 lbs vitriol, cherry lamel water, (very
poisonous) extract of almond cake, extract of capsicum
(known in the trade by the denomination of Devil) and
extract of grains of paradise and colouring sugar. To
improve the flavour of brandy the recipe is 1-2 oz,
English saffron and 1-2 oz. mar sleeped in a pint ol
brandy 10 days shaking it and then straining when
strained add 1 oz. tena japonica and 3 oz. sweet spirit
of nitre, put it to 10 gallons brandy adding lOlbs prunes
bruised. To give new brandy all the flavour of old : n o
1 gallon of new add 30 drops of aqua ammonia, shaking
it well to combine with the acid.
An honest rumseller, having abandoned the business,
said that he once had occasion to draw off a large cask
which had served for a reservoir for liquors, without
ever being emptied, and in the bottom of it there was a
collection of drugs and filth of every description, to the
depth of some threeor four inches, of a black or brown*
ish color, casting off a very noxious effluvia deeply im
pregnated with the deadliest poisons. ‘l'here is nocom
puting the number of human beings who were mur
dered and eternally damned by the concoctions from
that one cask of drugs. Well might those who “tarry
long at the wine cup,” become alarmed at such start
ling disclosures ! Retailers are all cognizant and guilty
of this horrible system of wholesale butchery ; and when
conscience has been so far annihilated as to suffer a man
to deal tohis fellowman a poison which shall be to him “a
consuming fire,” “it were far better for that man that
a mill-stone were hanged about his neck and he were
thrown into the sea.”
It is a notorious fact that most, if not nil our line ‘im
ported” liquors, were manufactured by ourown country
distilleries, and none of them ever saw a foreign land.
The-whiskey from the country is, carried to the sea
board towns and cities, where it is metamorphosed and
transformed into our fourth proof Cognac brandies, best
Medeira, Old Port, Holland Gin, St. Croix Rum and
Jamaica Spirits, and is then returned to us at an ad
vance of from one to 500 per cent profit. Hear the fol
lowing statement of Dr. Hiram Cox, an experienced
chemist of Ohio. lie says:
During two years he has made inspections oi va
rious kinds of liquors, and has found nine-tent Its of them
poisonous concontions —brandy, lie found one gallon in
one hundred pure; of wine, not a gallon in a thousand,
hut generally made of whiskey as a basis, with poiso
nous articles for condiments. Not a drop of Madeira
wine lias been made in that island since 18.1. The
whiskey he inspected, some of it contained sulphuric
acid enough in a quart to eat a hole through a mans
stomach.
With such evidences staring men in the face, is it not
astonishing that they will not and do not instantly
abandon the habit of drinking such poisons ? But to hear
some of them, they drink for their “health ‘—-they take
it to “strengthen them.” Alas', indeed! II quassia,
green vitriol, capsicum, grains of paradise, coculus in
dicus, hartshorn shavings, nu.t vomica and copperas all
mixed together hi the burning cauldron like the witches’
broth, forms a strengthening beverage, let us all. in the
name of the whole heathen mythology, pour down these
compounded poisons until we all become Sampsonian
and Herculean giants, able to out-rip Euripides him
self. Wo trust.the day is not far distant when all men,
of every class and grade, will unite in placing this dam
nable system under the bail of t lie law.
American Newspapers.
Notwithstanding the almost incalculable number
of newspapers already established in the country,
scarcely a week passes in which wc do not receive sev
eral circulars announcing that others arc soon tube pub
lished. There arc in Georgia according to our enume
ration, exactly .fifty journals which are issued weekly,
and among them are six dailies ; several other weeklise
are to be commenced at an cariy day. What a con
trast between the newspaper privileges of this genera
tion and in the earlier history of the country. Tradi
tion tells us that the first newspaper printed in North
America was printed in Boston, 1690. Only one copy
of that rpaper is known to be in existence. It was de
posited in the State Paper Office in London, and was
about the size of an ordinary sheet of letter paper. It
was stopped by the Government. The Boston Nevis
Letter was the first regular paper. It was first issued
in 1704, and was printed by John Allen, in Pudding
Lane. The contents of some of the early numbers were
very peculiar. It had a speech of Queen Anne to
Parliament, delivered 120 days previously, and this was
the latest news from England. In one of the early
numbers, there was an announcement I hat by order of
the Postmaster General of North America, the post
between Boston and New York sets out once a fort
night. Negro men, women and children were adver
tised to be sold ; and a call was made upon a woman
who had stolen a piece of fine lace worth 14s. a yard
and upon another who had conveyed a piece of fine cal
ico under her riding-hood, to return the same, or be ex
posed in the newspapers. The pioneer paper was pub
lished for 74 years; it was a leading Tory paper, prior to
the Revolution. The Boston Gazette was the orgin of
the patriots, and was issued at Watertown. At the
commencement of the revolutionary war, there were
but 37 newspapers in the United States. Os this num
ber only eight were committed to the British Govern
ment, but five others were bought over. The oldest
existing paper in Massachusetts was the Worcester
Spy —it was published in Philadelphia, during 1770, but
removed to the western part of the State on the occu
pation of Boston by the British troops. Our country,
although the youngest in the world, outstrips all others
in the number of publications and newspapers sold.
The number of copies of newspapers printed here is
four times greater than in Great Britian,. though Eng
land has twice as many magazines. The number o 1
religious newspapers here, and the extent of their cir
culation, form a striking social characteristic.
It matters not how many papers may be established
in the country, for wherever they are, they will arouse
a spirit of inquiry, cultivates thirst for'reading and
thereby increase the number of readers ; hence, we wish
all the newspaper enterprises great success.
The Captain of the Slaver.
Washington, Sept. 6. —A dispatch from New York
states that the brig Dolphin touched there to-day and
landed Captain Townsend, of the slaver Echo or Put
nam, to be sent to Charleston for trial. The Dolphin
sailed this afternoon for Boston.
Dispatches from Washington state that Sir William
Gore Ousley has been ordered to Central America by
the British Government. /
pB* A new postoffice has been established in Hart
county, Ga. called Rio. All packages intended ior it

Yellow lever—its Doings.
Last week, in Charleston, 103 died of yellow fever—
being an increase of 30 over the previous week.
One death is reported from the same disease in .Sa
vannah. It has also reached Jackson, Miss, and is still
raging at New Orleans and Memphis.
IS'Wc perceive that Mr. Gough lectured in Exeter
Hall. (Eng.) on the 2d of August; in Manchester on
the sth and 6th, and in Liverpool on the oth.
A groat Temperance fete has been held in Pavcn
hamburg ; some 2,000 people were present. Mr. Gough
spoke at the fete.
Specimen ot’ Hie Cable.
Miss Mollie P. Waltou, of Madison, has kindly pre
sented to the Museum of Mercer University, a hand
some piece of the Atlantic Cable, which she procured
during a recent visit to New York. It is a nice sam
ple, being a loot in length, mounted with a silver baud
at each end and one in the centre. The present is very
highly appreciated by the Faculty. •
Jno. H. W. Hawkins.
We are pained to learn of the death of this distinguished
temperance lecturer; an exchange paper says: “he
died recently, of cholera-morbus, at the residence of a
son, in Parkesburg, Pennsylvania, at the age of sixty
years. M. Hawkins, it will be remembered, many
years ago. with a number of companions in Baltimore,
quite suddenly reformed his drinking habits, and com
menced a crusade against rum-drinking. This was the
commencement of the Washingtonian movement, re
sulting in the reclamation of thousands on the down
ward path of intemperance. Mr. Hawkins has, within
the past quarter of a century, lectured in all parts of the
United States, and has generally been quite successful
in his efforts to benefit hisfellow man.”
A Deserved Tribute.
It is indeed encouraging to know that editors and
printers are occasionally duly appreciated. The fol
lowing extract from the report of the Committee on
Printing, of the Legisture of Wisconsin, pays a refresh
ing compliment to editors and printers :
We are not aware that printers and newspaper pro
prietors are a class of so little use in the community, or
so destructive of its interests, as to be entitled to but
half compensation for the labor and services they per
form. But your committee do believe that no class of
men perform more gratuitous services for all general and
local interests, or are more actively and effectually en
gaged in disseminating information, making known the
resources of the country, and inching to action the en
ergies of our people, than printers, proprietors and edi
tors of newspapers.
Innocent Beverages.
The following good advice is given by the Youth's
Temperance Advocate, to young tnen and old ones too
who have once broken off from habits of intoxication :
“ The reformed man, who has broken off from habits
of intemperance, and is endeavoring to establish himself
in habits of sobriety, cannot be too suspicious of those
drinks which are termed ‘ innocent beverages,’ but which
contain the poison disguised under a seductive taste.
Remember that you are escaping from the dominion of
an appetite that may he easily awakened and put in fu
rious operation by the merest taste of your old enemy.
We have known tearful cases of return to intemperance
by taking a single glass ol eider or beer. The only safe
plan is to drink nothing hut water as a beverage. No
other drink will quench thirst like this. It is the only
element which “God has given to nourish and invigo
rate his creatures, and beautify his footstool.” Beware,
then, as you would not experience that sad reaction that
would plunge you into the horrible pit from which you
have been taken —beware, we say, of everything, how
ever “innocent” in its pretensions, that the enemy is
ever preparing, to swerve you from your loyalty to the
cause of total abstinence. ♦
“The beautiful and innocent,
Os all earth’s living things,
Drink nothing hut the crystal wave,
That gushes from the springs.”
Temperance in Itlainc.
Gov. Morrill has issued his proclamation, declaring
that the new Anti-Liquor Law is the law of the Stnte.
The number of ballots having the words “License
Law of 1856” written or printed thereon, is five thous
and nine hundred and twelve. The number of ballots
having the words ‘Prohibitory Law of 1858’ written
or printed thereon, was twenty-eight thousand eight
hundred and sixty-four.
From these figures and ‘other signs of the times,’
our cotemporary of Maine, ahe Rising Sun, says that
Temperance Cause never looked more hopeful or pro
mised greater results, than at the present time. From
Calais to Kittery—from the Aroostook settlement to the
hanks of the Saco, the minds and hearts of men are be
ing brought to this glorious work. Our correspondence
from all parts of the Stale arc cheering beyond measure-
Many who have been slaves to the intoxicating cup are
breaking away from the habit, and pledged themselves
to lives ol abstinence. Even rumsellers, in some quar
ters, through the blessed influences of the religious re
vival. or from fear of penalties of the law soon to Ihu
have abandoned their accursed business, and resolved
to lead a better life. Let t ho traffic in intoxicating
liquors lora beverage now be banished from the State,
and the thousands of inebriates who have resolved to
touch not the cup, will be enabled to keep iho pledge.
Ihe dark cloud of intemperance and wretchedness
which has hung lor the last, two years over I lie. Statc
will be dispelled, and happy hearts and cheerful homes
will take the place of abodes of poverty and suffejiug.
hat ntan is there, who wishes to lead a temperate
and happy life himselt, and who does not desire tie see
liis lather, brotlicror soil go down to a drunkard strive,,
that will not at once take hold and help enforce the new
Liquor Law. that the accursed traffic in intoxicating
liquors as a beverage, shall he banished entirely front
ihe State ?
When wi’l the people of Georgia be allowed lo use
language so cheerful as our friend indulges with refer
ence to Maine—ever? Wc are encouraged with the
hope sometimes, when feverish anxiety thinks—maybe
imagines—it has discovered the bright morning stay,
forerunner of the blessed day, when broad, unclouded
sunlight shall have chased darkness from every
and cranny. At any rate, there are such tokens laaeiiyr
as inspire with the fondest hopes. May Heaven, will*
propitious smiles, warm up the indifferent and speedily
terminate the faintest hope with gloriously full frail ion.
The Ruined Family.
BY WASHINGTON IRVING.
The depopulating pestilence that walketh innoonday ;
the carnage of cruel and devastating war can scarcely
exhibit tlieir victims in a more terrible array than ex
terminating drunkenness. I have seen a promising
family spring up from the parent trwnk, and stretch,
abroad its populous limbs like n flowering tree covered
with green and healthy foliage. I have seen theunnat

gnawing, like a worm, in an unopened had 1 , while they

patriarch, rich in virtue and in years, gathered about
him the gteat and little ones of the flock, his sons and
daughters, 1, too, sat at the board ; I pledged their
health, and expatiated with delight upon the eventful
tnture, while the good old man, warmed in the genial
glow of youthful enthusiasm, wiped a tear from his
eyes. He was happy. I met them again when the
rolling year brought the festive season around. But all
were not there. The kind old man sighed u his sud

Some Scotch lady, who has more reverence for the
inspiration she draws from Helicon than that imported
from Havanna, conics down after the following style
upon the patrons of the weed:
“May never lady press his lips, his proffered love re

VVhv inakes.a furnace of his mouth, ami keeps its chim

May each trite woman shun his sight, for fear his fumes
might choke her,
And none but those who smoke themselves have kisses

Slander—ll* Fatal Effect*.
The New York Daily News is informed that Branch
published in the Alligator, sometimes since, a slander
ous and false story concerning a young lady ot that
city—daughter of a clergyman—wlto had spent sonic
months in Europe. The libel was brought to the
knowledge ol the lady by some injudicious friend. She
was in very delicate health, and the suffering it caused
her sapped the springs of lifejn a few days. -She died
another victim to foul power:
“Whose edge is sharper than the sword ; ’ whose tongue
Outvenoms all the worms of Nile.”
Combat Between a ’rritgetliun and an Eagle.
A Cincinnati paper gives an amusing account of a
combat between Murdock, the tragedian, now living on
his farm near Loveland, anda monstrouseagle, in which
tlie “heavy tragedy man” had to heat a rapid arid inglo
rious retreat:
It appears that on Sunday morning last, Murdock
hearing a terrific noise in his barnyard, sallied out and
found an enormous eagle had fastened its talons on a
very young calf, had plucked out its eyes, and was en
deavoring to raise with its struggling and bleeding vic
tim. Murdock made a charge on the imperial bird, but
was finally compelled to heat a hasty retreat to secure
his gun. The eagle’s triumph was of short duration,
for Master James Murdock, the tragedian’s son, ap
peared upon the scene with a doubled barreled gun, and
at the first discharge, brought his imperial majesty to
the ground. He measured six feet from tip to tip ot his
wings, and will be preserved as a memento oi Master
James’ prowess.
Pure Wines.
Dr. Hiram Cox, Inspector of Liquors lor Ilainillon
county, Ohio, gives the following simple directions for
testing the purity of wine:
First heat a small quantity of the liquid over a spirit
or oil lamp, till the vapor begins to rise. If the liquor
be mixed, or an imitation with spirits added, by touch
ing a lighted taper to it, it will immediately take lire
and will continue lo burn till all the added spirit is
burned out of it. If then the fire is increased till ebul
lition, or boiling, takes place, and the vapor will burn
by the application of the vaper, it is mixed wine. The
innate spirits of pure wine will not take fire until the
liquid is brought to a boil. Second, if an article which
is represented to be pure juice, or pure port wine, should
be suspected, heat as above. If the vapor will not burn
when first it rises, nor will take fire Irom the applica
tion of the taper when ebullition is produced, you may
rely that there is not one drop of wine in the sample ;
and if, by holding some of it in your mouth for a short
time, and after spitting it out you find your teeth on
edge, or upon grinding them together they appear to ad
here, as if the enamel was softened, you may rely on it
that that article is diluted sulphuric acid, as a base,
with other ingredients to give aroma, &c.
Way to Keep a Wife at Heme.
Mr. Fitzgerald resides in Congress street, and is mar
ried to a woman who takes snuff and is fond of spinning
street yarns. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. F. announced
her intention of visiting Mrs. Dunlap and getting her
daily supply of rappee. Mr. F. issued positive injunc
tions against such a course, but as the wife insisted, the
husband adopted a novel method of keeping her at home.
He got a chain, about an inch in diameter, wound it
around her ankle, and then passed the ends through the
handle of a flat-iron and secured them by means of a
heavy padlock. Putting the key in his pocket, he
walked oft'to his work, and chuckled at his originality.
Mrs. F. considered herself just as smart as her “old
man,” and as soon as he had left the house she took
one of her aprons, half a dozen towels and a string, and
managed to confine the flat-iron to her knee, and thus
heavily laded, she walked out, got her snuff, and was
quietly putting it into a box, when some person discov
ered the chain and gave information to the second sta
tion-house, and Lieut. Whitcomb, with great delicacy,
relieved the wife of her extra burthen, although he was
compelled to smash the lock with a hammer in doing so.
Fitzgerald will have to invent another method, and if
he succeeds he can make a fortune in teaching his se
cret to others, ala Rarey. —Boston Herald.
Prepare to Laugh.
’Squire G. tells the following good Hoosier yarn, de
-1 monstiative of the power of music over the human
mind:
Some years ago, a tall, gaunt, knock-kneed, spindle
shanked, red-headed, cross-eyed, lummex of a hoosier
who was a hunter of the classical Wabash conceived
the idea of making a visit to the home of his progeni
turc in oldKaintuck. He did so—ranted around amongst
the girls some, and was, of course, from his native im
pudence and unearthly ugliness, the observed of all ob
servers. One morning the whole neighborhood was as
tonished with the news that the ugly noosier had eloped
with Mrs. 8., an amiable, good looking woman, wife of
Mr. 8., and mother of a half dozen little B’s. For two
long years the disconsolate husband mourned over his
untoward bereavement ; at the end ol that period, how
; ever, to his utter astonishment one day, in popped Mrs.
| 8., looking as bright and rosy as ever. After the first
j joyful greeting was over, the injured husband thus ad
dressed the spouse:
“Nancy, how could you take up with the onairthly
ugly hoosier, and leave me and the little children all
forlorn as you did?”
“ Well, Josh,” said Nancy, “that tliar tarnal ugly
critter Irom Indianny was a leetle tlie best whistler I
ever hern tell on. You know I was always fond of
good whistlin’; I used to think you could wliistlesome,
but 1 never beerd whistlin’ as is whistlin’, till I met
that ar Wabash feller. He just whistled my senses
clean away, and 1 fullered him off on that account. A
short time ago, however, he caught the measles, and
they spilt his whistlin’ forever'—the charm was broken,
and so I concluded to come back to you; but, Oh!
Josh,,that hoosier was the awfullest whistler that ever
puckered.”— FlacervUlc Index.
“ Who Slew all These ?”
The history of Intemperance is one offearful interest.
Look where you may at the past, in every age since the
: introduction of Alcohol, and you sec the ravages of the
I dread destroyer. Nations, once prosperous and power
ful, under the benign influence of temperance principles,
were reduced to effeminacy and poverty, through ex
cessive indulgence in wine, and the many immoralities
I which follow in the trainof Bacchus. Whereare proud
Babylon and Nineveh ? Their greatness stands recor
ded on the pages of history; their ruin is declared in the
annals of Intemperance; and the great Empire an Al
exander called his own—what says the epitaph which
commemorates its overthrow? Thus does it read:
“Founded in rigid abstemiousness and virtue—de
stroyed by Intemperance and its withcringattendants.”
Rome, too, has fallen, and look at the origin of her de
cay. Her legions, while strong in uncorrupted appe
tite, were invincible; tint when the tempter came with
poisoned cup, she drank, and fell before her enemies.
The iron power of Daniel’s vision became mixed with
clay, and crumbled, because not cemented with tem
perance and virtue. These are a few of the wrecks of
empires—all of them mighty, which, like high and fear
ful monuments, attest the remorseless energies of Al
cohol. But we have only glanced at the loss of nation
al greatness, as the result of intemperate habits. Let
us people these empires, and cast our eyes over the.
I vast multitudes, vi hose souls and bodies have been con
sumed by alcoholic fires. Oh! what a melancholy
sight! And could we hear the piercing shrieks of the
immolated victims, methinks our souls would loathe
with infinite disgust, the producing cause of suchavast
accumulation of human woe. Look at those reeling,
frenzied parents, as they cast their tender offspring into
the arms of the insatiate Moloch, whose embrace is
cruel death ; look at the long array of broken-hearted
wives—ol widows, with blanched cheeks, telling of
mental and bodily anguish; and as you see the vast
concourse, with others equally oppressed and tortured,
sank into an untimely grave, let your hearts bleed, and*
your lips avow eternal hatred of that which has pro
duced such a fearful aggregate of wretchedness. But
look again, if you would know more of what intemper
ance has done, ft has filled many a cavern of ocean
with its victims- JSe.e those sinking vessels and the
frantic groups that ffwd their decks, shrieking for
, help, but all in vain. How came they thus suddenly lo
• meet a watery grave? The demon alcohol replies
“’Twas T who did the deed.” Yes! no doubt, ’nvns
he, and could the ocean-bed but yield’its myriads, and
should they tell who sent them to their coral resting
places, they would corroborate his testimony But
’ have we seen the whole amount of misery and death
which have marked the progress of the alcoholic cause
No! we have only looked “ through a glass darklv
;and at some few of its desolations. There are yet to
pass in review the wrecks of gigantic intellects—the
blasted reputation ol countless thousands—ruined fam-
Dies—the death-bed scenes of those who, in their 4 * de
Urtum tremens ,” talked of hell and inward fires—these
are a continuation of what may, with truth, be called
the melancholy results of intemperance.
A Family CENsns.-The marvelous story about a wo
man in Zanesville, Ohio, who, as the veracious news
papers aver, was seasonably delivered one day of two
children—which process was repeated three days after
wards, and was again renewed the next day thereafter
‘ taus figuring up an entire quintette, requires, with
some doubters, what is called confirmation. But when
the mater appends the additional statement that in the
opinion of the consulting physicians, there remains still
another candidate for a mission into the human family,
t staggers the credulity of experienced experts in these,
phenomena. Mrs. Smithers, for instance, declares posi
tively that site never heard of such a case of partition,
since they used to run the old-fashioned coaches that
parried six inside.” — Boston Post.
lie voicing Crime—• Arrest.
By the Montgomery Advertiser , we learn that some
time in December last, a moat diabolical and fiendish
outrage was committed on the person of a little,girl
about 12 years of age, named Simpson, in Neshoba
county, Mississippi, aboutseven miles from Philadel
phia, iho county scat. What makes the matter more
revolting is, that the perpetrator of this outrage used a
knife to aid him in accomplishing his hellish deed.
The unfortunate victim of this devil, we understand,
died soon after the commission of the beastly crime, and
the perpetrator managed to escape from Mississippi
thus avoiding thd just punishment whidli woifld have
been visited on him by the people of Neshoba. Ilis
name is Seaborn Bradford. Ho was arrested in West
Point, Ga. on Friday last, by G. 11. Jones, constable of
that district, and placed in jail. The Governor of
Mississippi offered a reward,sometime since,Tor his ar

Tltc Vaults of Sit. Sepulchre* I.onitou—Re
markable Preservation of a Corpse.
A correspondent of the New York Evangelist, now
in London, gives the following curious narrative of his
visit to the vaults of the Church of St. Sepulchre, in
that city :
A strange sight was recently disclosed tome in St.
Sepulchre, one of the oldest church edifices in this city.
It stands opposite Old Bailey, the hoary old prison, and
not far from St. Paul’s cathedral. Thischurh was par
tially destroyed by the great fire in London, but earlv
rebuilt. It is an immense edifice, with a very wealthy
parish yet only two or three hundred persons are ever
in attendance at their place of worship Beneath the
church arc a series of great burial vaults, where inter
ments have been made lor many hundred years. The
sexton told me it was estimated there were 1,500 cof
fins now entire under the building, and from an exam
ination I have no doubt of its truth.
The atmosphere ot the vaults seems to have a remark
able effect in preserving the coffins, if not the bodies
from decay. Descending through an open door from
the church the other day, we entered a very large a
partment, but dimly lighted, where piles of mouldy
black-looking coffins were placed upon each other.
‘I hese coffins, with their elegant and costly trimmings,
had not been decomposed. Climbing up over a heap of
them, the sexton opened a large wooden box, and ou* of
it he took an entire female figure,in a remarkable state
of preservation! The limbs were unbroken, and j lie
body perfect, except the flesh shrunken, yet it was still
solt and flexible to the touch.
The sexton stated that the officers of the church had
recently been examining the vaults, and as burials there
had long since ceased, they designed to close the en
trance. Before doing so, they had been making a care
ful survey of the premises, and under a mass of rub
bish in one corner, they found a stone enclosure, a sort
of sarcophagus, out ot which this female figure was
taken. It is believed to be over three centuries old, and
evidently, front its position and the stone enclosure, it
was a female of rank. It was a strange sight in this
subterranean charnel house, with blackened coffins
piled up to the high ceiling all around, to sec this en
tire human figure raised up bodily from its resting
place, and standing erect upon a coffin before you !
The fact of its existence is probably known to but few
persons, and before this reaches you, the entrance to it
will be closed to all further inspection.
Home Wives and i'orcign Husbands,
Foreigners—that is to say, continental foreigners—do
not seek American wives, except for their fortunes.
This is the plainest of all social truths. Ofcourse there
have been cases where foreigners, settling in this coun
try and becoming American citizens, have married
American girls, and made very good husbands. But
foreign visitors to this country, designing to return and
reside in Europe, never tnarry American girls for mere
love. Tlteir motives are those of fortune, or of mere
betrayal of virtue, knowing that a previous marriage
has made the new tie legally impossible. We have
never known one of these showy foreigners seriously
desiring to marry a poor girl; and we never heard of
an American girl, married to a foreigner and returning
to Europe to reside, who led a happy life. Wives in
France and Italy, and to some extent even in Germany,
do not occupy the happy and honorable position that
they do in America and England; and husbands, in
those countries, are often notoriously and shamelessly
faithless. A more melancholy position than that of ii
neglected young American wife of a French husband,
in the whirl of Paris, or the dismal splendor of any
other European capital, can hardly beitnagined. Many
have come home to their parents alter such wretched
existence as this, glad to purchase their liberty and
happiness, even at the sacrifice of a largcc part of their
fortune.
There will be at every fashionable watering place, this
summer, one or more of these fascinating foreign
ers, who turn the heads of so many of the young Amer
ican misses. Watering place hotels, with their public
and promiscuous table anti ball rooms, and their total
freedom from the restraint of society at home, are favor
ite resorts of all kinds ot adventurers, and French,
German and Italian adventurers often find easy prey
among the verdant young women and young men who
go there for health and recreation. Let the fathers and
mothers quietly keep their daughters out of the way of
every one of them, and lei the recent example of the
scoundrel, the seducer and the bigamist, Riviere, be a
new warning to them, teaching them that thebest thing
they can do lor the happiness of their daughters is to train
them well in habits of refinement and moderation, and
fit them for good American wives. There will he no
trouble in getting for them good American husbands.
Tlc Wife—The Value of licr Husband"* Mom.
The liquor dealer’s wife, whose conscience was ill at
ease in relation to the traffic in intoxicating liquors,
availing hei self of an auspicious moment, said to her
husband, “ 1 do not like i/our selling liquor ; it seems to
me to be u bud business ; you do not, 1 suppose, make
more than one or two hundred dollars a-year by it, and
I should be very much rejoiced if you would give it
up.”
“I know,” answered the husband, “as well as you
do, that it is a bad business; 1 should be as gladtogivc
it up as you would be to have me, and if I did not make
more than one or two. or even five hundred dollars
a-year by it, I would give it up.”
“How much, then,” inquired the wife, “do vou
make?”
“ Why,” replied the husband, “ I make from two to
three thousand dollars a-year, an amount quite too much
to be relinquished.”
“What you say,” she rejoined, “brings to my mind
the remarks of a lecturer I once heard, who, having re
peated what Walpole said in relation to every man hav
ing his price in politics, added that it was much the
same in religion. Satan, continued he, is a broker.
Not a wheat or cotton or money broker; but a soul bro
ker. Some can be procured to labor in his service for
an hundred, some for a thousand, and some for ten
thousand dollars a-year. The price, dear husband, you
estimate your soul, I sec, is three thousand dollars
a-year. My husband, look you well to it; to me it
seems even three thousand dollars a-year is a paltry
price for what is truly priceless.”
On the mind of that husband sudden conviction
Hashed, and liberal as was his portion in those rewards
ot unwretchedncss which Satan proffered, he resolved,
and avowed the resolution to receive it no longer.

sufficient intensemess to portray the evil accomplished
by thee. Hopes are blasted, homes are made desolate

Dear Alary, sing that song oitcc more—
It so recalls my youth to me,
What time in my halcyon days of yore,
I lived ou thy sweet minstrelsy.
It is not needed, love, to bind
My heart to thine; for now, as then,
Thy smile is ever sweetly kind,
And I the happiest of men.
But, then, it so brings back the hours,
That, lover-like, we used to spend
Within those fragrant, leafy bowers,
And wish ihe evenings had no end.
For we were young, and looked on life
(’Tis ever thus to “Love’s Young Dream”),
As void of carking cares and strife,
And all things really what they seem.
Since wc were wed, that dream is o’er ;
Yet, still, the love that gave 1 it birth,
Thank God! more brightly lliun before
Illumes the domestic hearth.
Then, Mary, sing that song once more,

Watson’s Spring;.
This spring is situate in Greene county, Ga. on the
Oconee River, If miles from Greenesboro’, 8 miles front
Maxey’s Depot—Athens Branch, Ga. 11. R. —12 miles
from Woodville, lti miles from Union Point, and Smiles
from Poullain’s Bridge.
The writer has made a stay of several weeks at this
spring, and from the good cflect that he has experienced
from a use of its water, and his knowledge of its good
effect on others—some of whom were invalids in a true
sense ol the word—is induced to pen this communica
tion concerning it.
Lest some should he incredulous as to the truth of
what may he said of it, the writer will remark that the
cases which will be introduced as proof of the virtue of
this water are vouched for by a gentleman of the strict
est veracity, and that he will insert initials, places of
abode—so far as he is informed—so that those doubting
may consult them at their will and pleasure.
Ist case introduced, is that of Dr.'S., now of Chero
kee county, who remained !( months, but was cured in
half the time. Disease complicated—Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Ulcerated Boacls and affection of the Kid
ney. Had visited other springs, and tried many emi
nent pfiysicians, during his continued bad health forfior
8 years, to no avail. Has had no return ot any of these
diseases since his departure from tlie spring, which - was
in 1854.
2d introduced, is that of a child of 15 months old,
that had had Chronic Dysentery front a short, time after
its birth; cured in 6 weeks, and visited the spring this
year hale and hearty.
Dr. Durham, who resides near the spring, and who
is an old and successful practitioner of medicine, thinks
the water, in many cases, a remedial agent when med
icine is not.
3d introduced. Mrs. J. Tetter and general debility ;
remained a short I into; Tetter cured, constitution re
vived ; and though she had not had tut issue for 14 years,
12 months after gave birth to a healthy child. Irregu
larities in females, and consequent debility, yield at once
to this water.
4th introduced, a dialutis subject, Mr. B. of Geene
county, 75 years of age. Mr. B. visited the spring, and
remained only at intervals. Thinks if he had have re
mained longer, from the relief lie had experienced, that
lie would have been now Buffering front no trace even of
the disease, notwithstanding his debility consequent
upon his old age.
In a day it checks the frequency of the passage of
urine; and it is said.by aM. D. who has observed its
effect upon this wasting disease, that ordinary cases
will soon he relieved Ivy it, where its subject has not
past the meridian of life. Any ailment wherein tlie
kidneys are involved, this water will certainly benefit
great ly, if not wholly relieved.
sth introduced, is a case of Stricture. Mr. D. of
Putnam county, who remained but a short lime, and
now enjoys uninterrupted health. Wrote a letter to
the owner of the spring, saying that his cure was per
manent.
This is a remarkable ease to all those who arc ac
quainted with Ure difficulties attending a successful
treatment of Strict ure. For retention and incontinence
of urine, this water is truly a specific.
6th and 7th introduced, is the cases of 2 servants. The
one Tetter; the other an Ulcer. With Tetter the
whole system seemed almost covered—tlie skin having
come off in many places; remained, what precise time
is not known, but left cured with a clear, smooth skin.
The Ulcer was cured in the short time of lOdays. The
. subject of this last named disease is now, and was then,
the property of the proprietor of the spring, John Wat
son, Esq. Skin diseases yield directly to this water,
and Sores, Ulcers, Burns, <fce. cure up as if by magic.
ACCOM MODATIONS.
The writer is authorised to say that any number of
cabins may be built by visitors, and the charges of the
owner will be moderate for the rent of them.
Board cannot be had in the vicinity. Should some
person desiring to engage in the hotel business purchase
ot Mr. W. his premises and erect a good house, litis
place would certainly lie one of resort by invalids at
least; and those wishing to make a profitable invest
ment would do well to purchase it. The place is for
sale to. an approved purchaser upon reasonable terms,
the owner desiring a more retired one, and at the same
time not wishihg to deprive any one of the corrective
effect of this water. The farm produces about. SSOOO
worth corn and cotton to 15 hands.
A XA UYSIS.
A few years ago this water,as is reported, was analyzed,
and is said to have consisted of sulphur, iodync, mag
nesia and some qther ingredients; of this nothing Is
certain. Be the properties what they may, they are
. curative in their effect, as has been amply proven in the
cases which have already been introduced, which to
■ know is enough. To till invalids, he their
j what they may, the writer >t this imperfect sketen in
; vites you to go to Watson’s Spring.

Female Education.
“ The faculties arc inflate and active in different de
grees, but each desires to be satisfied, and all are neces
sary ; hence, it would be wrong to endeavor to annihi
late or to neglect any one ol them.” There is a marked
difference between the sexes—not in the number, but
in the degrees of the primitive powers of the mind.
The difference is more strongly marked in some males
titan in others, and likewise with females. Education
cannot impart a single faculty or power to the mind.
It is the province of education to control and direct
these faculties into proper channels. Attachment is
stronger, ideality and love of approbation greater in fe
males titan in males; and hence, education should curb
these faculties and prevent being unduly de
veloped. As the mind of woman is formed differently
from that of man, so her sphere of action is different.
I he innate dispositions of the female mind may he sof
tened by the cultivation of others, hut never changed.
No time is more propitious for instruction than youth,
and no one more capable to impart it than the mother,
if she understands her duty. She is qualified to bring
faculties into action, or to soften the vigor of others.
The aim of education should be to render virtuous and
intelligent. As individuals differ in natural endow
ments, so they are not capablq, of receiving the same
improvement from the same course ofinstruction. Ed
ucation must conform to the nature of the pupil. Thus
a female, with ideality largely developed, and approba
tiveness very small, should not be subjected to the same
course of instruc'ion that the one is whose ideality is
small and approbativeness very large. Precept is more
forcibly impressed upon the youthful mind by
Thus order, cleanliness, industry, frugality, cheerful
ness, mildness, simplicity, ease and candor in the mo
ther, lias more influence over the daughter! ban volumes
of precept. Example is the most potent argument.
Mothers arc the best instructors of their daughters. It
is th*■mother that will stamp upon the daughter char
acters and impressions that time will not efface; it is
the mother that will scatter seeds in the solt, impressi
ble dispositions of the daughter that will germinate and
| fructify! Should not the mother, then, cultivate all
her ennobling powers to enable her to perform the im
portant duties of her oflice with fidelity? Should she
not be properly qualified and endowed for her mission ?
Surely. Then, if this is her sphere, she should be ed
ucated to fulfill its duties. The female intellect should
be cultivated by practical knowledge. Her knowledge,
like her charms, should not be superficial. Solidity
should not be displaced by vain and useless accomplish
ments. Music, painting and drawing occupy a large
portion of the time in female education, and yet, how
many females have ever received sufficient interest
upon such an outlay of time and capital. They do well
as accomplishments, but poorly repay as the rum and
substance of education. Nowadays, the definition of
an accomplished woman is, one who has been to college,
who sings and dances well, can raise a tempest among
the octaves of a piano, knows a smattering of French
and Italian, has an indistinct knowledge of drawing ami
embroidery, knows very little of anything else except
fashionable novels, in which she is an adept; entirely ig
norant of household regulations and duties, and who
would sooner need the biscuit than knead the doughy
The word accompfished, when applied to such a one,
is a misnomer.
Could she impart solidity or strength of mind to her
offspring ? One must possess the knowledge before he
can impart it to others. The seed must not only be
gqod and pure, but there must be soil wherein to sow
them. There must be a substratum —a nucleus—a’
foundation. Teachers cannot impart the soil. The
faculty must exist before it can be cultivated; the mind
before it can be improved. The great fault, at present
is, that there is no soil to cultivate. If the present de
terioration continues to progress, the next generation
will he dolls and idiots—the mere ephemera of a day; V
in fact, the prescut generation is not far removed from
that stage now. There must be a cause for this. It is
briefly stated : Useful knowledge has been neglected
for useless accomplishments; (?) the more ennobling
emotions and sentiments for the vain and despicable. *
Mothers have instilled into their daughters the danger
ous heresy that the problem ol life was solved by the
words: Wealth and Display. Modest merit has been
forced to retire before brazen effrontery, and real virtue
before its resemblance.
if the I .sentiment lie true, Sis the dew lies longest and
produces most fertility in the shade, so woman, in the
shade of domestic retirement, sheds around her path
richer and more permanent blessings,” should not her
education correspond with the station she is destined to
fill? Daughters should receive a thorough domestic
education at home. It is not enough that they should
know how to paint a sky-blue dog upon green canvass,
or murder a tunc upon the piano, or converse in the
rich language of the Celts; they should know howto
regulate domestic affairs, keep the house in a tidy con
dition, and their bonds engaged in something useful.
The youthful mind has been compared to ‘wax in its
softened stale, capable of receiving impressions; but
which, when hardened by age, will break before aniin
pression can he made. Youth is the propitious time for
impressing truths upon the mind. It is a critical time,
and impressions then formed may mould their future
destiny. We are told that —
“ A pebble in the streamlet cast,
Has changed the course of many a river;
A dew-drop on the baby-plant
Has warped the giant-oak forever.”
A single wrong impression formed at this time may
result in untold injury. How important and responsi
ble is the station of the mother! While we will not as
sent that colleges have produced the present deplorable
state of education in the female world, we unhesitating
ly affirm that they are powerless to arres its progress.
Colleges are, at present, nothing more than hot houses
of fashionable folly, where the female mind is forced
into an unnatural growth ; whose meteoric glare is but
momentary—of “ignis fatuus” kind, and all their
“ Glories, like glowworms, which far away shine bright;
But when looked attoo near, haveneitherheat or light.”
There is no stamina or strength about it. Ido not
attribute inefficiency or negligence to the teachers, but
I say that the system of distinctive schools is wrong in
theory and practise. It tends to bring some faculties
into too much activity, while it imposes too much leth
argy upon others. The old field mixed schools never
produced unfavorable results. Why, it is in accordance
with the laws of nature. There are greater incentives
to emulation in a mixed school, than in one composed
solely of one sex. The bright smile of Georgeanimates
Virginia in the study of her lessons, and is more es
teemed by her than the approbation of her teacher.
This proceeds from the human heart. Attempt tocrush
it out, and you produce the senseless flirt or heartless
coquette, whose self-love usurps every other sentiment.
It educates and refines their manners to bring them in
daily contact with those whom nature designed should
be associated with them in the walks of life.
Another objection tocollegesis, thatthey haveincreased
the foul spirit of sectarianism. Nearly every sect has
its college as an aspirant for public patronage. It not
only partially educates, but intensifies prejudices and
bitter feelings. The tendency of the present age is to
force every dogma to have its college, so as to innocu
latc the minds of susceptible youths with their favorite
doctrines. No one can deny this who takes a casual
survey oi the field.
We are not opposed to females receiving a'polished’
education no more than wc would object totha burnish
ing of silver; but it must be pure silver—-not a gilded
semblance; a solid education must be the substratum.
Wc are opposed to a system calculated to produce
strong-minded females, who require such ample space
to circulate in; and one that may lead to all isins—from
spiritualism down to free-lovc-isni. We object to the
system of a part ial education having no firm basis; but
composed of glitter and ornament, and which turns
loose upon the boisterous waves of life so many frail
and wandering harks, upon whose pathway shines all
stars but the guiding o ; a system which blights
reaSon by its touch.
Wo arc pained to observe the habit of reading ro
“kill time ” so prevalent among young ladies. Sensa
tion papers and novels arc seized with avidity by them
lor this purpose. This habit is productive of lassitude,
both physical and mental —I might add moral; and is
vitiating and destructive in its effects. We do not ob
ject to young ladies reading; or. the contrary, we ad
vise,thcm to do so; but to read with discrimination,
attention, reflection and confidence; and read for im
provement—not to waste time. They should feed their
minds with sound, wholesome and appropriate food,and
that which they can readily digest.
Wc desire to see females receive a solid and thorough
education, and one preparing them for the sphere de
signed for them. Into their hands the world and its
destiny is cast. Society will not be elevated as long as
they arc depressed, or reformed as long as they are only
partially educated. We have submitted our thoughts,
in a loose and rumbling manner, w ithout order, system
or method, w hich would seem to indicate a greater pro
ficiency in finding than in mending faults; in criticising,
than in reforming. Wc hold, however, the poets ad
vice to he apposite and true:
“A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep or taste not the Pierean spring;
There, shallow’ draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.”
