jhe dismal place, we raised a hearty shout, thinking it right to hallo even before we > erc out of the woods. The log cabin, which, ns we now write— frhilc the owner of it is at work upon our broken shafts—seems homely and unattrac tive enough, in the bright light of the morn ing, loomed up like a palace last night, as it 9 hearth-fire flashed out into the surround ing gloom and made us eager for the repose sn d refreshment it seemed to proffer. Roll ins away the hollow pine trunks and the heavy ox-carts that sentinelled the cabin, we were glad to draw up out wounded ve hicle beside the low fence. The good wo man of the house was sick, and her “ man” away, hut still she made us welcome, and a troop of boys and girls was soon busied in attending to our wants. Refreshing indeed was the cold bath to our weary feet, and the spring water to our thirsty lips; nor did wo find our appetites too fastidious to partake of a hot hoe-cake and some eggs “done brown” in fat, though they might have shocked the commissariat of the Astor br the’St. Charles! Sweet was our repose that night, though our couch was not a hair mattrass, our covering fine linen, or our chamber a lofty and well-ventilated lmll. We reaped the reward of our toil, and for got our perplexities in “Tired Nature’s sweet restorer—balmy sleep!” With our fractured shafts substantially bound in wooden vices, we are about to take our leave.of our hospitable entertain ers, Who, though they know nothing of the refinements of life, lack not its greatest charm —tvue kindness. Noon. Campbellton is a furnace in hot weather, whether it be an ice-house in cold weather or not Down, down, with unmit igated intensity, fall the burning rays of the sun upon the hill on which this County site is built. One might with great propri ety ask of this place, as Lot did of the vil lage of Zoar, “Is it not a little one ?” A very considerable portion of it, moreover, to-wit: the Methodist Church—the meeting house, not the people—was Jilown flat to the ground a few days ago. If Campbellton has any lions, they are not visible to us; and the only notable thing we can record, as a parting memorial, is our landlord’s •charge for a most wretchedly bad dinner— a charge that astonished us and put us to flight, as Captain May’s did the Mexicans at Palo Alto! As “ Bob” suggested, lie probably thought it would he his only chance to try the length of our purses ! and so made the experiment. We had corn bread and fat for dinner, ami molasses and corn bread for dessert, reminding us of the boarding-house where they furnished dried apples for breakfast, cold water for dinner, and let them swell for supper ! Our thanks arc due to Col. T , for polite attention received from him during our brief stay in Campbellton. June 2 oth. A weary ride, over one of the roughest roads that ever reflected disgrace upon town or county commissioners, for pal pable neglect of their duty, brought us late last night to the Rail Road City, where our hasty record of Ry-ways necessarily ceases, and where we are put in possession of fresh and exciting intelligence from various parts of the world. THE CHOLERA. The general prevalence of the Cholera, during the last two months, has led to many investigations, and much speculation, with regard to the origin, prevention and cure of this dreaded and dreadful disease. It seems to have had its origin in Asia, to the tropical regions of which continent it is generally confined. Occasionally, it makes a descent, like a ruthless invading army, upon the shores of Europe, Africa and America, marking its course everywhere with thousands of new-made graves. The plague, which swept off 100,000 inhabitants of London, in 1065, was probably closely al lied to this fatal disease. Whatever may be the causes of the Chole ra, one thing is quite certain ; it attacks, in a great majority of cases, those whose hab its of life, in respect to eating, drinking, cleanliness, &c., are far from correct. It seeks out the filthy abodes of poverty, squa lor and intemperance. There arc excep tions to this, it is true, but they are com paratively rare. Almost invariably, pre disposing causes are found in weakness, ir regularity, and want of balance in the sys tem. Persons, who avoid breathing stag nant ami impure air, eat wholesome and ea sily digested food, in moderate quantities, wash the entire surface of their bodies once, at least, each day, take moderate and regu lar, but not prostrating exercise, in the op en air, and maintain a cheerful ami serene’ state of mind, are in little or no danger of the Cholera, anywhere. There is a great deal of significance in the following remark of the Editor of the Lowell American : “We arc glal to learn that tho Authorities are determined to starve the Cholera oat, if pos sible, by removing the filth of the City, wherev er it is to be reached. But the City Authorities cannot keep the mon, women and children, washed ; c innot see that they do not make them selves liable to the disease by eating and drinking Improperly and immoderately. People must at tend to this, thcm-elves. This advice is all we can give, and it is good now and for all time: Keep yourselves clean, anil live temperately ami cheerfully Among the many remedies for the Chole ra, proposed by physicians and others, that of Carburet of Sulphur is attracting the most attention. The following extract from a statement made by Dr. W. B. Herrick, Editor of the Western Medical tend Surgi cal Journal, and a regularly educated and scientific physician, will have a great weight witli all candid persons. We learn from private sources that the remedy in ques tion lias hecn used, in New York City, with great success : *'During the last few days, Drs. Bird, Blimey and myself, have continued to use this apparent* ly simple remedy to the exclusion of nearly all others, in all eases with choleric symptoms. The result has been wonderful. All premonitary symptoms, such as pain, a sense of fullness, un natural movements, slight dinrronen, &c., have uniformly yielded at once to a single dose of three to four grains of sulphur. In case where eitl ir cramps, diarrluea or vom iting have been present, and in fact where all these symptoms have existed in eoryunetion, the use of sulphur, the above named dose every three or four hours, has had the effect to amalioratc the patient’s condition at once, snd, when used iu a few hours, to and s-quite entirely Cholera symp toms. So far as its efficacy has been tested in the worst stages of collapse, most satisfactory results have been obtained. In two or three cases of the kind, the effect of the remedy lias been to bring back pulse to the wrist, restore warmth to the surlaoe, and stop the profuse diarrhoea and vom iting, In truth, the results obtained, so fur, have been such as to convince all of us, who have ad ministered it, and witnessed its effects, that if any remedy deserves the appellation, this is the speci fic for Cholora.” We hope this simple remedy will have a fair trial. No prejudice should prevent tlie Faculty, and scientific men generally, from investigating tliis matter thoroughly. Truth will not fail to be elicited by such a course. THE SCHOOLFELLOW. The June number of our little Magazine I has, we trust, ere this, reached all its sub scribers. We are glad to be ablo to say | that we have the best evidence that it meets with a most cordial reception wherever it | goes. Its list of subscribers is increasing ’ beyond our most sanguine expectations. We receive subscriptions by mail, almost i every day, from various parts of the coun try. We shall try to deserve the favors and good opinions of our young friends, by giv ing them just sucli a Magazine as they want and need. We thank our brethren of the press for tlicir kind notices of The School fellow. We give extracts, below, from two or three of them. We have not room for more this week. The Floridian, published at Tallahassee, Flo., says: “ We would heartily commend to our young readers, and to their parents, The Schoolfellow, a monthly periodical for flic young, lately coui -1 menced by W. C. Richards, of Athens, Georgia. | Subscription price, sl. The editor, who has of late become extensively known by his literary ; enterprises, is assisted by a corps of able contribu ! tors.

The fact that it ! comes to them in their own names, gives them an I interest in it which they would not otherwise ; f el.” The American I Vhig, Griffin, Ga., has I the following notice : “W'c have received the May number of this excellent little publication, for the first time.— We consider it one of the very best publications of the kind we have seen for the instruction of tlie young.

Nineveh and its Remains: With an account of a visit to the Chaldean Christians of Kurdis tan, and the Yezidis, or Devil-Worshippers: and an enquiry into the manners and arts of the ancient Assyrians. By Austin Henry Lay ard, Esq ,D.C. L. In two vo!s. Bvo., pp 326 —374. New York: Geo P. Putnam. 1849. The appearance of Mr. Layard’s great work was anticipated with an interest that seems to have been adequately repaid, not less by the beauty and elegance of the vol umes, than their intrinsic merit. The lend ing Reviews and Journals, both of England and this country, have awarded to it a high meed of praise ; and we can do little more than echo their approbation. To the anti quarian, Mr. Layard’s volumes possess an indescribable charm, evolving as they do, from the dust of almost forgotten ages, to kens of the splendor and magnificence of the most famous cities of Assyria. Mr. Layard’s researches in Nimroud oc cupied a period of eighteen months (1845-7), during which time, be excavated several im mense mounds, and exhumed a vast number of sculptures and elaborate architectural ornaments, from extensive and magnificent palaces. Obelisks, monuments, vases, bas reliefs, sphynxes, bulls, lions, warriors, winged human figures, colossal statues, slabs with inscriptions, and many other cu rious relics, were the abundant fruits of his excavations. Some of these memorials of past greatness have been transferred to England, but Mr. Layard complains of the inefficiency of the measures adopted for the important labor of transporting them, which have occasioned injury to sonic of those al ready transported, and left behind altogeth er, many of the noblest of those obtained. The volumes are illustrated with nmny spir ited drawings of the sculptures and monu ments. Besides the details of tho excava tions at Nimroud—the ancient Nineveh — the work embraces similar labors at Kalali and other places. Rare and extraordinary as are the results obtained, it is presumed that further labors would meet with still greater success. We have spoken briefly of the discoveries of Mr. Layard, hut we should do his work great injustice if we did not refer to the style of the narrative, and the great amount of information con cerning oriental manners,customs and char acter. incidentally exhibited in his agreea ble volumes. The style is modest and pleas ing—the narrative plain and succinct —par- taking of ttie vigor which ever marked the conduct us Mr. Layard, in iiis arduous un dertaking. There arc many interesting episodes, in which wc have graphic accounts of the Arabs, by whose aid the excavations were made. Pachas and Sheikhs figure largely in the narrative, sometimes in the shape of friends and sometimes in the guise of ene mies. Mr. Layard certainly exhibited a remarkable degree of tact in his intercourse with those wild “sons of the desert,’ and made them far more tractable than is con sistent with their reputation! If our limits would allow it, wc should like to introduce many extracts from ttie work, for it is full of the most novel and fascinating scenes and descriptions, so that even while we read, wo are disposed to en quire if wc are not making an excursion into dream-land, and gazing upon fairy vi sions that never can be realized, rather than filial ©ionii a contemplating the long-buried past, revivi- 1 tied and re-illumined by the industry and skill of man. We can, however, find room for only a single passage, descriptive of the discovery of a gigantic head in one of the ‘ palaces of Nimroud. After speaking of va- j rious sculptures recently exhumed, Mr. Layard says: “On the morning [after these discoveries] I rode to the enc 111 I ment of Sheikh Abd-urrah- 1 man, and was returning to the mound, when 1 saw two Arabs of his tribe urgii g their mares to the top of their speed. On approaching me, they stopped. ‘Hasten, O Beyl’ exclaimed one of them, * hasten to the diggers, for they have found I Nimrod himself. Wallah, it” is wonderful, but it is true ! we have seen him with our eyes. There is no go 1 but Godand both joining in this pious cxc'nmation, they galloped off. without fur ther words, in the direction of their tents. “ On reaohing the ruins, I descended into the new trench, and found the workmen, who had already seen me as I approached, standing near a heap of baskets and cloaks. Whilst A wad ad- j vaneed and asked for a present to celebrate the occasion, the Arabs withdrew the screen they had : hastily constructed, and disclosed an enormous human head, sculptured in lull out of tbo alabas ter of the country. They had uncovered the up per part of a figure, the remainder of which was still buried in the earth. I saw at onco that the head must belong to a w inged lion or bull, simi lar to those of Khnrsnbad and Persepolis. It was in admirable preservation. The expression was J calm, yet majestic, and the outline of the features showed a freedom and a knowledge of art scarce ly to be looked for in the works of so remote a j period. The cap had three horns, and, unlike that of the human-headed bulls hitherto found in Assyria, was rounded and without ornament at the top. “ I was not surprised that the Arabs had been amazed and terrified at this upparition. It re quired no stretch of iinagin ition to conjure up the most strange fancies This gigantic bead, blanch ed with age, thus rising from the bowels of the j earth, might well have belonged to one of those | fearful beings which are pictured in the traditions j of the country as api earing to mortals, slowly j ascending from the regions below. One of the workmen, on catching the first glimpse of the ! monster, had thrown down his basket and run off towards Mosul as fast as his legs could carry him. I learnt this with regret, as I anticipated the con sequences. “ Whilst I was superintending the removal of the earth, which still clung to the sculpture, and giving directions for the continuation of the work, a noise of horsemen was heard, and pres ently Abd-ur-rahman, followed by half his tribe, appeared on the edge of the trench. As soon as the two Arabs had reached tho tents, and pub lished the wonders they had seen, every one mounted his marc and rode to the monnd. to sat isfy himself of the truth of these inconceivable re ports. When they beheld the heal, they all crieu together, ‘ There is no god but God, and Mohammed is his Prophet!’ It was some time before the sheikh could he prevailed upon to de scend into the pit, and convince himself that the image he saw was of stone. ‘ This is not the work of men’s hands,’ exclaimed he, ‘ but of those infidel giants of whom the Prophet, peace be with him! has said that they were higher than the tall e-t date tree ; this is one of the idols which Noah, peace be with liiin 1 cursed before the flood.’ In this opinion, the result of a careful examination, all the bystanders concurred.” Os Mr. Layard's visit to Kurdistan, and his account of the Devil Worshippers, we can say but little at tliis time. East of the river Tigris, lie the Kurdish Mountains, and in their borders dwell a very curious race, called Yezidis—a people proscribed and persecuted botli of the Christian and tlie Mussulman—worshippers of the ‘ Spirit of Evil.’ Among these people Mr. Layard, with his spell-like charm, obtained favor— witnessed their strange religious rites, and even their chief annual festival. These ‘ Devil-Worshippers’ arc, after all, not half so black as they have been painted. Their ceremonies are indeed ‘passing strange,’ but, if we may credit our author, quite as innocent! An equally graphic account of the Nestorians, or, as Mr. Layard calls them —in the opinion of some improperly — tiie ‘ Chaldean Christians,’ is embraced in the first volume ; but wo must pass it with out further notice, and take our leave of the work —first with sincere congratulations to tlie author upon the admirable manner in which he has executed liis great task; and secondly with thanks to Mr. Putnam for the taste and enterprize which lie lias displayed in re-publisliing so costly a work, in a style of almost English elegance, at a price far loss than that of the original. The Beautiful Gift, or The Poetry of the Affections. Edited by D. 11. Jacques. Low ell: Milton Bonney. 1849. It would be quite a task to catalogue the names of all the beautifully printed and or namental miniature volumes which have been published of late, for their name is le gion. One thing we may say, however, of the little book before us. It is not only one of the handsomest of its class, but intrinsi cally one of the best. It is a collection of charming verse, under the three general ti tles of Friendship, Love, Home. The Editor of the volume is our esteemed contributor and co-laborer, —“Jacques we cannot do the book more jugtice than to se lect, as a specimen of its tone, one of his own contributions : TO MEDORA. Maiden, of the golden treses, Every heart thy presence blesses ; A world of magic surely lies In the blue depths of thy eyes.

Maiden, of the golden tresses, Chastely I yearn for thy caresses; Let one soft embrace be mine, One pressure of my lips to thine. The following bagatelle is so charming, that we cannot forbear to quote it: “JENNY KISSED ME .” “ Jenny kissed me, when we met, Jumping from the chair she sat in; Time, you thief! who love to get Sweets into yoor list, put that in; Say I’m weary, say I’m sad, Say that health and wealth have missed mo, Say I'in growing old, hut add . . . Jotiny kissed me.” Tun Pinr.osomY or Medicine. An Address, delivered before the Graduates of the Medical College of Georgia, on the 20th March, 1849, by John LeConte. M. D-, Prof. Nut Phil and Chem. in Franklin College, Univ. of Ga., pp. 21. Augusta: Jas. McCafferty. In this discourse, Professor LeConte con siders the advancement in the art of Medi cine ; nnd be proceeds first to show why it cannot progress pari passu witli other branches of Science, and then adduces tho causes which have given it, of late, n new impulse. In this discussion, the author ex hibits much philosophical enquiry, and con siderable vigor of thought, liis style is neither heavy nor ornate, hut preserves a medium well adapted to the subject. Chemical and Pharmaceutical Manipula tions : A Manual of the Mechanical mid Chctnico-Meohanical Operations of the Labo ratory. By C. Morfit, assisted by Alex. Muc kle. One vol. 12moy pp 482. Philadelphia : Lindsay & Blakiston. We have examined this book with great care, and have no hesitation in pronouncing it what it claims to be —a complete and re liable guide to all descriptions of Chemical processes —adapted to the use of Chemists, Teachers and Students. It is illustrated with nearly 500 wood-cuts, which add great ly to the value of the text. It is just the work, the need of which so many Chemists and Teachers have felt, and to them wo commend it cordially. State Trials of the United States, during the A.Union!rat ion of Washington and Adams, with rcfe'cnccs, historical ami professional, and preliminary notes on the politics of tho times By Francis Wharton, author of “A Treatise on American Criminal Law.” One large vol., Bvo., pp. 728. Philadelphia: Carey &. 11 art. 1849. Collections of ‘ State Trials’ are not only valuable to the professional man. as exposi tions of jurisprudence, but they possess, al so, much interest to the general reader. They are, indeed, a species of dramatic his tory, involving, of necessity, much insight into tho character of the people, and the times contemporaneous with their occur rence. Mr. Wharton, whose legal abilities are pre-eminent, has made a valuable contribu tion, not less to the Literature of the coun try than to its jurisprudence, in the elegant volume before us. Accompanying the re ports of the various trials arc notes, full of curious and acceptable information concern ing the actors—references to the local and personal politics of the times—and much other material, from which.fiiture annalists may gather valuable aid in their historical labors. Among the trials reported, we notice ca ses of insurrection, privateering, bribery of public officers, impeachment, seditions, li bels, riot, requisition of the British Govern ment for a criminal, and various other State offences. The preliminary notes on the ad ministrations of Washington and Adams, are full of historical value, and add greatly to the general interest of the work. Journey to the Gor.n Diggings.

Another of Mr. Abbott's invaluable ‘his tories’ for young people, which are doing more to instil a love of historical reading into the young mind than any other books ever written—not excepting Scotts’ “ Tales of a Grandfather,” over which they possess the advantage of greater simplicity of style. Tliis volume, like all others of the series, is beautifully illustrated, and very cheap. £o (Torrcspcmiicnts.
