please accept our thanks.
Hiver^ews.
We left the river on Thursday night, at twelve
o’clock, “at twenty-seven feet and slowly rising.”
It reached only six inches higher that night, and ;
tut yesterdav very slowly receded. At dark last
evening it had fallen about one foot. The slowness i
of its failing can be accounted for by the heavy
rains which must have fell up the country,
The steamer Fashion left yesterday for Savannah,
on a booming river.
Auction Sale of Coffee.
We call attention to the sale announced by T, M.
Cater, in Charleston, on Wednesday, Jan. 9th, of
two thousand four hundred and fifty-four bags Rio
Coffee.

“ South Carolina Agriculturalist.”
This is to be the title of a new Agricultural pa
per to be published monthly in Columbia, S. C.,
under the care and patronage of the State Agricul
tural Society.
The Tribune Almanac.
We have received this Almanac for J 856. It is
replete with all the Astronomical calculations for
the year—carefully compiled election returns, and
much useful and valuable statistical information.
It is a continuation of the old Whig Almanac of
former years. The price is for single copies 12% ;
by the dozen $1 ; and $7 per hundred. It is pub
lished bv Ghkely & McEi.rath, X. Y.
The Races.
The annual races over the Lafayette Course, com
mence on Tuesday next, the Bth January. We
learn that there are several flue stables of horses
already at the track, and two more expected in a
day or two. The prospect is better for such sport
than at any previous time. Mr. Patterson, of
Kentucky, is here with his stock, and his “ crack
nag," Nannie Lewis, at the head. Col. Gibbons,
from New Jersey, with his staldes, and among
them the celebrated four mile horse, Philo—al
ways bearing off the plume of victory. Mr. H. C.
Caffik, from Macon, with Blue Skin, and other
fine horses. Mr. Thus Pltrykau, from Columbia,
with the renowned Charley Ball, and other fine
stock. Messrs. Campbell, Woolfolk, Bacon and
Lasley, and others, with their blooded nags, to
contest, with speed and bottom, for position on the
track, and profitable results.
The Course will be in good order, if the present
weather continues, and there will be a large at
tendance from abroad to participate in the pleasing
and exciting scenes of the closely contested races,
which will come olf next week.
Dodge’s Patent Suction and Force Pump.
We feel disposed to call attention to this Pump,
much as we are disinclined to invite notice to such
matters. It appears to be quite a desirable appli
cation of means to ends, and we think worthy ot
the attention of the public. It can be seen at the
United States Hotel.
The President’s Message.
There appears to be a very favorable opinion ex
pressed in regard to the course pursued by the
President, in sending in his Message to Congress,
without waiting for the organization of the House
of Representatives —now, in its fifth week of travail.
The custom has heretofore been to wait for an or
ganization, but there is equally as honored a cus
tom for Congress to organize on the first day of its
meeting, and for the President to communicate his
Message on the following day. The country gen
erally must cordially approve the course ot the
President, and regret that he deferred even so long
to a mere custom, while millions of his countrymen
were waiting impatiently to know something de
finite in relation to their foreign affairs.
The Message is a great state paper, and cannot
fail to be warmly commended by every man who
has an American heart or head, and a soul to save
from the furnace of free-soilism. It needs no com
mentator, aud we cordially endorse it iu all its
parts. It is the document for the times, both in its
foreign and domestic policy.
Democratic Pennsylvania.
W. M. Piatt, Democrat, has been elected Speaker
in the Senate, and Richardson L. W right, Demo
crat, Speaker in the House. Both branches have
Speakers in that State. By telegraph we learn that
Gov. Pollock, in his Message, congratulates the re
presentatives on the condition of the finances.
The decrease of the State debt during the year
amounted to $630,000. No new loans have been
created, such a measure being unnecessary. He
refers to his former message for his opinion on na
tional affairs, re-affirming the views then expressed.
He calls attention to the necessity for further legis
lation on the license question; adverts to the duty
of electing a United States Senator, aud then pro
ceeds with other matters of purely local interest.

dertakes, Below, we copy a few remarks from the
New York Corn Exchange Reporter and Merchants'
Frier Current, of December 2S’h, in relation to his
Flour:
•• We notice, at the Corn Exchange, a handsome
Flour branded “ Etowah Mills," received by
Messrs. E. Yansieklc & Co., Agents for the exten

Some of the Right Sort.
The Charleston Mercury, of yesterday, says :
We have received from “One of our Readers,”
Fortv Dollars, to be distributed between the Ladies’
Benevolent, the Garment and Fuel Societies, and
the Church Home.
We feel pleased to notice such acts, even if we
have to read Charleston papers to find them. For
ty dollars appropriated to the poor—it is to many
persons a small amount, but it can furnish much
comfort to persons in want of wood, meal and
meat.
At Preston, England, a chimney has just been
completed by Messrs. John Hawking A Low,
which is two hundred and fifty-eight feet in height;
its width at the foundation thirty-four' feet; the

four hundred and forty thousand bricks have been
used in building it.

The report of the Secretary of the Navy is the
most interesting of the annual documents. After
showing that there has been no increase of the
expenditure in the naval service, the Secretary pro
ceeds to say :
“ Perhaps no event, either legislative or execu
tive, touching the history of the navy, has at
tracted more earnest attention, or created more
profound sensation, that the action of the late Na
val Board. And yet, such was the condition of the
navy, as urged by secretaries and conceded by
statesmen, officers and citizens—such the loud cry
for prompt reform echoed and re-echoed through
the country, that Congress in its wisdom falling
to pass the general and more comprehensive bills
originally reported bv the committees, instituted
this summary tribunal with signal majorities. The
officers selected to compose the board were, in
terms highly laudatorv, pronounced fit men for the
delicate task. Indeed’, when their names were an
nounced, there was a warm and general expression
of favor and gratification rarely exhibited. The
Department, therefore, by filling the board with
men of high reputation and acceptable to the coun
try and the uavy—by surrounding them with
safeguards and restrictions to secure impartiallity
and justice, and to remove the opportunity and the
temptation for indulgence in action for personal
gain—by spreading before them the entire files
and records of the Department, hoped that a suc
cessful effort had been made to insure the faithful
and satisfactory execution of a law passed with
every indication of earnest solicitude to promote
the efficiency of the navy.
The task ivas a delicate one, and involved strug
gles between duty and feeling. They were mere
men, not infallible. It would be strange, indeed, if
their work were perfect and entirely free from error.
These errors, if thev exist, will soon and surely be
discovered by the developments of time, by con
tinued inquiry, and by calm, dispassionate obser
vation. The officers of the navy, as a class, are
proud, brave, sensitive, patriotic and self-sacrific
ing; and if the sword of any one of those gallant
men has been incautiously taken from him, all
right-minded men will say, let his country restore
it to him, with all the honors and reparation due to
injured merit; and while I can by no means recom
mend the adoption of any measure of repeal or any
course of proceeding in conflict with the general
action of the Board, I have no doubt that there
should be, and will bo, found a remedy for any
mistake or error of judgment, if the service has
thus been deprived of a meritorious or capable offi
cer, either by resignation or dropping.
Facts which have come to my knowledge assure
me that it would be but reasonable to provide a
year’s pay for the officers who have been suddenly
dropped front a service on which they'had hereto
fore so exclusively depended, without any consid
eration for future self-reliance. Though the num
ber reported incompetent seems large, and many
will attract attention, is that a circumstance of it
selt sufficient to justify reflection upon a Board,
who were bound, under the law, to make a careful
examination, Ac.”
The report of the Secretary of War covers fiftv
six pages of foolscap, and will be found a masterly
production. It shows the actual strength of the
army to be fifteen thousand seven hundred and fif
ty-two men. Enlistments during the last twelve
months, ten thousand five hundred and forty-six;
enlistments refused, twenty thousand five hundred
and twenty-two; number of casualties, five thou
sand five hundred. Disposition of the troops re
mains pretty much as stated iu last annual report.

Mr. Dunn Browne’s Experience in For
eign Travel.
Atlantic Ocean, (Top of it, and pretty well along to
wards the Kant sale,) on board clipper ship Quick
step,
September 13th, 1855.
After several days of delay beyond the appoint
ed time of sailing, owing partly’to man (want of
men ) and partly to Providence,’ (want of wind,) we
did finally succeed in sailing from the quarantine
station in New Vork harbor on Monday, August
27th. The pilot, appearing on board early in the
morning, in spite of rather unfavorable wind and
an immense amount of swearing, (I could hardly
tell which was the greater obstacle to the execution
of his orders,) was successful iu taking us out of
the beautiful bay into the open sea. Since one
o’clock the same day we have seen no land except
that portion of our native soil which still remains
on the faces of some of the sailors ; but we hope,
if our favorable wind holds, to make land’s end to
morrow and London early next week. However,
this is all guess-work with us, (passengers,) for the
officers of the ship take particular pains to tell us
the most ridiculous and conflicting stories as to our
whereabouts and progress. This, and frightening
the women with fearful tales of the dangers of the
sea, constitute their idea of wit in its highest devel
opment.
First day out. —Strong northeast wind, which, as
that was precisely the direction we wished to go
was not on the whole favorable to our progress.
The ship persisted in leaning over an angle of for
ty-five degrees, so that you could walk with equal
ease on the floor and on the leeward side of the
cabin. Passengers were to be seen leaning over
the bulwarks contemplating the ocean waves with
signs of deep emotion, and occasional outpourings
of feeling very touching to the beholder.
Second Jay. —Precisely similar to the first.
Third day. —ls anything, a little more so; the
wind a little stronger, the ship a little steeper, and
the passengers a little sicker; every thing in short
slightly aggravated. The evening was delightful.
Sat several hours at the stern in the moonlight,
watching the bubbles of fire in the waves and mus
ing upon home and friends. “Sail on the lee bow,”
shouted the lookout, and gradually a dark shadow
became visible in the dim distance, glided like a
spectre slowly past, and vanished. Waxing deci
dedly poetical under the combined influence of the
moon, the waves, and the phantom ship, I was re
called to the realms of the real by a huge wave leap
ing over the taff’rail and depositing at least a bar
rel of the “briny” in my lap. Thus pickled I re
tired to my stateroom, “ a wiser and a (Better mail.”
Fourth Day. —A lurch of the ship sent three cups
of coffee, two men, (one of whom was not your
humble servant), one bowl of sugar, a woman’and
baby, three plates of ham, one hair brush, six
roasted potatoes, ajar of pickles, and a wash basin
of water with a soapy boy in it, all into a corner of
the cabin together. Selecting ourselves out of that
heap of miscellaneous articles, and leaving the
rest to be picked up by the steward, resumed our
breakfast as if nothing had happened. Smart ship
is the old Quickstep, only rather playful.
The first few days are a fair sample of the whole
passage hitherto—fair, beautiful, dull, and stujhd
in the extreme. Life at sea is very poetical one
hour perhaps out of the twenty-four, but prosaic
enough the other twenty-three may answer very
well one day in the week, hut deliver me from the
other six. We are but a dozen of ns passengers,
mostly cockneys, returning in disgust f:»m a brief
sojourn in Yankee land to blessed Hold Hengland,
the’omeof their hinfancy. Everyone of ns disa
greeing on all possible subjects, we yet live
together in great harmony, performing mutual
offices of kindness and good fellowship ; a little
bullet-headed Dutchman ottering a share ofhis
cherished Schiedam Schnapps to the sick wife of a
Hungarian refugee ; a Kentuckian and a Londoner
ending a wrangle of an hour and a half about the
merit of their respective countries in a couple of
friendly brandy punches; a free-thinking Lon
don bookseller and your humble servant, after
spending the whole afternoon in the inain-top
mast-eross-trees, in discussing, metaphvsically,
theologically, and scripturafiy, the Noashian
deluge, afterwards discussing a bottle of porter
together, ( thoroughly exhausting both subjects.)
Though the Maine law be an admirable institution
on land, yet if any body argues in favor of it here
we silence him directly bv presenting to his mouth
and nose a glass of the diluted emetic which goes
under the name of water on board ship. One dose
is sufficient. The patient recovers immediately
front his delusion, and pronounces the Maine law
eminently a terrestrial animal. If our tea and cof
fee were decent, the case would be different; but
as it is, we are absolutely driven to porter, and
some, l am afraid, even to stronger potations.
Yours, respectfully, Dunn Browne.
The Richmond, Enquirer, of Tuesday, says:
“ It gives us deep pain to announce the death of
Wm. M. Overton, Es<p, some time since connected
with the Washington Union, but recently one of
the editors of the Washington Sentinel. He died
yesterday morning, between six and seven o’clock,
at the residence of his father-in-law, Col. Robt.

The Commissioners of Emigration of New York
have held their last meeting for the year, and we
have consequently a full statement of the number
of passengers who arrived at that port during the
past year, from which it appears that the aliens
amounted to 134,987, against 319,22-3 last year, a
falling off of 184,238. The greatest decrease is in
the German immigration, tne arrivals from that
country having been only 51,987, against 176,986
in 1854; and the Irish comparison is 42,930 during
the past year, against 83,802 in 1854.
Patents. —The Secretary of the Interior, in his
recent report to the President, says:
“Since the first of January last there have been
issued upward of eighteen hundred patents, and
within the year the number will probably reach
two thousand. This is the result of the judicious
and excellent system that has been adopted, and
which enables the office promptly to examine and
dispose of every application that is presented.

A MARVELLOUS REMEDY!
FOR A MARVELLOUS AGE!!
1101. I. OW A Y>S OI N T >1 ENT.
The Grand. External Remedy.
BY' the aid of a microscope, we see millions of
little openings on the surface of our bodies.
Through these this Ointment, when rubbed on the
skin, is carried to any organ or inward part. Dis
eases of the Kidneys, disorders of the Liver, affec
tions of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Asth
mas, Coughs stud Colds, are by its means effectu
ally cured. Every house-wife knows that salt passes
freely through bone or meat of any thickness. This
healing Ointment far more readily penetrates
through any bone or fleshy part of the living body,
curing the most dangerous inward complaints, that
cannot be reached by other means.
Erysipelas, Salt Rheum and Scorbutic Humors.
No remedy lias ever done so much for the cure
of diseases of the Skin, whatever form they may
assume, as this Ointment. No case of Salt Rheum,
Scurvy, Sore Heads, Scrofula or Erysipelas, can
long withstand its influence. The inventor has
travelled over many parts of the globe, visiting the
principal hospitals,’ dispensing this Ointment, giv
ing advice as to its application, and has thus been
the means of restoring countless numbers to hcahh.
Sore Leys, Sore Breasts, Wounds and Ulcers.
Some of the most scientific Surgeons now rely
solely on the use of this wonderful Ointment, when
having to cope with the worst cases of Sores,
Wounds, Ulcers, Glandular Swellings and Tumors.
Professor Holloway has. by command of the Allied
Governments, dispatched to the hospitals of the
East, large shipments of this Ointment, to be used
under the direction of the Medical Stall’, in the
worst cases of wounds. It will cure any Ulcer,
Glandular Swelling, stiffness or contraction of the
Joints, even of twenty years’ standing.
Piles and Fistulas.
These aud other similar distressing complaints
can be effectually cured if the Oiument be well
rubbed over the parts affected, and by otherwise
following the printed directions around each pot.
Both the Ointment and Pills should be used in the
following cases:
Bunions, Burns, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Fis
tulas, Gout, Lumbago, .Mercurial Eruptions, Piles,
Rheumatism, Salt Rheum, Skin Diseases, Sore
Legs, Sore Breasts, Sore Heads, Sore Throats, Sores
of all kinds, Sprains, Scalds, Swelled Glands, Stiff
Joints, Ulcers, Venereal Sores, Wounds of all kinds.
