May Festival ol' the Methodist Sunday
Schools.
Our streets were alive yesterday with proces
sions of children of the Methodist Sunday schools
of our city aud ol Hamburg, with their teachers,
weuding their wav to that beautiful and pic
turesque spot, Hamburg Spring. The occasion
was a I’ic Xic, provided by the parents of the pu
pils, aud by members of the St. John's aud St.
J ames Methodist Churches of our city. The in
clemencv of the previous day caused a postpone
ment until yesterday, and fortunate that it was so.
for the showers of the previous night had made the
air pure and bracing. The sun was out in its
splendor to dry the ground and the foliage, but
not with sufficient power to incommode by its heat.
It was a day charming and beautiful. Never be
fore among us did a larger number of young and
happy hearts bail the genial sunlight with more
joyous greetings.
The scene at the Hamburg spring was most in
teresting. The number of Sunday school pupils
of the different Churches represented, is about
four hundred and fiftv. This was less than half
the entire umuber of children present; for the in
vitations had been hospitably extended beyond the
limits of the congregations. Hundreds of ladies
and gentlemen were also there to participate in the
innocent hilarity or as gratified spectators of the
romp and revelry.
The refreshments were on a scale of profuse lib
erality, and of a variety to please, even all the ca
prices of childhood. Not only substantial viands
were in abundance, but fruits, cakes and confec
tionary, were lavished in all directions.
The slopes and terraces were swarming with
gay and well-dressed children, and the woods were
vocal with their merry voices, from nine o'clock in
the morning until near five in the afternoon. It
was a day and a scene to rob age of its wrinkles,
and drive away the clouds from the brow of care.
Long may these pleasant festivals be kept up,
which have been inaugurated with so much spirit.
We are requested to direct attention to a
uott* added to the advertisement of sales by the
Executors of Thom as Ci mmino, deceased, touching
railroad encroachment in front of certain lots on
Reynold street.
We are requested to call the special atten
tion of the members of the Richmond Hussars,
to the drill to be held on to morrow afternoon.
Every member is expected to be present, as busi
ness of importance will be submitted.
IRf The multifarious little I’onto’s, Watch's.
Fidu’s, Hull's, itc., found running at large, from
this date, without having their necks “equipped
according to law," will be shot. No matter wheth
er the law is a good one or a bad one, the dogs will
be shot, or are liable to be shot, unless their own
ers obtain collars and place them around their
dog's necks.
Shooting dogs is one of the most disagreeble
duties a Marshal or City (''unstable has to perform.
It is also attended with some danger to the lives
of the people, particularly the young —and where
dogs are crippled or nut killed, it is painful for
families to witness the agony or suffering of per
haps some faithful or favorite animal.
llv obtaining collars at the City Marshal's office,
this disagreeable matter can, in a great measure,
be avoided.

At a meeting of the Board yesterday, A. Porter,
Esq., was unanimously re-elected President.
Camphor and Strychnine.— The beneficial of- ;
lects of camphor, as an antidote to strychnine, are !
illustrated in a case reported by Dr. Tewkesbury,
of Portland, Maine. It appears that a boy was
seized with convulsions, and it was ascertained
that he had just eaten a biscuit, picked up at the
door of an eating house, that was made lor the
purpose of killing rats, and contained about one
and a half grains of strychnine. The boy’s spasms j
were so severe that immediate death was inevita
ble. though all the usual remedies were resorted
to. Camphor "could not be introduced into the |
stomach on account of the continued lock-jaw.
Accordingly, strong injections of camphor were
ttsi-d, and the body immersed in a hot camphor
bath, and in tew hours the boy was comparativelv
well.
Cotton. —It is said there is reason to believe |
that one of the greatest speculations that has taken ,
place for years, is now going on in cotton. The
parties are said to be residents in New York, Eng
land and the Southern States, aided by the banks
of New York and the South. The object is to get
possession of so much of the crop as to control the
market, and run the prices very high. It is said it
will require an investment of f 26,000,00g for five i
or six months, to effect the object of the specula
tors. — Times.
Wise Admonition. —ln the Biography of Fisher
Anus, written by the late Professor Kirkland, the
following just and beautiful sentiment occurs :
•When vice approaches the youthful mind in
the seductive form of a beloved companion, the
• a deal becomes threatening and dangerous in the I
extreme. Few possess the prudence and unyield
ing tirninos to pass it in safety. Those who have
been accurately observant of ‘ the dependence of
one part of life on^another, will readilv concur
with that Allies future character derived most
of it« lustre, and Ins fortunes much of their eleva
tion, from the untainted purity and irreproaclia- !
bleness of youth. Masculine virtue is as necessa
ry to real eminence, as a powerful intellect. He
that i- deficient in either, will never,unless from
the influence of fortuitous circumstances, he able
to place and maintain himself at the head of socie
ty He tnav rise and flourish for a time, but bis
fiv'l is certain as his descent to the grave. He who
holds parley with vice and dishonor, is sure to be
come their slave and victim. That heart is inure
than half corrupted that does not burn with indig
nation at the attempt to corrupt it.”
W orthy of Imitation.
The motto of Gen. Jackson. “I will ask noth
ing but what is right and submit to nothing that
is wrong,” is indelibly impressed on the hearts of i
the American people. It is stamped upon the for
eign policy of his administration. It was illus- I
Iraled.on every tit occasion when difficulties oc- j
curred involving American rights, whether with ‘
savage tribes, or the most powerful civilized na- '
tions.
Recent events in Central America recall two in
cidents in President Jackson’s Administration,
which we now present for consideration, and in
vite to them the attention of the powers that be
at Washington. We think the example worthy of
imitation.
We quote from the Stateman’s Manual, vol. 2,
p. 1003-4:
The tone of the government toward foreign na- j
tions during General Jackson’s administration was
moderate but firm, and the honor and interest of j
the country were maintained in a manner indica- i
tive both of sprit and ability. Among other ques- !
tions that arose during the year 1831. was one re- j
lating to the Falkland islands, which have been ,
often the fruitful source of controversy between
civilized nations, and now produced a collision be
tween the United Slates and Buenos Ayres.
These islands had been leased by the government
of Buenos Ayres, to a foreigner named Don Louis
Vernet, who "undertook to eoinnel sealing vessels
to take out licenses to take seals under his author
ity. Having captured three American vessels, and
committed other outrages, when the netfs arrived
in the United States, the President, always prompt
to act in vindication of the rights of the nation
against foreign aggression, despatched a compe
tent force to protect our sealers in the neighbor
hood of Cape Horn. Captain Duncan, in the ship
of-war Lexington, had charge of the expedition.
On his arrival at the Falkland islands, in Decem
ber, 1831. he broke up the establishment of Ver
uet, restored the captured property to the owners,
and transported seven of the most" prominent ac
tors to Buenos Ayres for trial. The Buenos Ay
rean government aflected great indignation at the
manner in which the settlement hail been treated,
as it was under the protection of their flag, but
they did not think proper to pursue the att’air any
further.
Chastisement equally prompt was inflicted on
the Malays of Quallah liattoo, fora piratical at
tack on the ship Friendship, of Salem, part of the
crew of which vessel they massacred, and it was
deemed necessary lo punish the offenders in a
summary manner. Captain Downes, in the frt
! gate Potomac, was therefore ordered to proceed to
Sumatra for the purpose, aud arrived at that isl
i and in February, 1832. The Malay forts, tive in
I number, were stormed, and after a short resist
ance by the Malays, of whom between eighty and
one hundred were killed, and a large number
wounded, the town was tired, and the forts de-
I stroved. The contest lasted nearly three hours,
and the American loss was three killed and ten
wounded.
This chastisement left a salutary impression on
the minds of these piratical tribes, and the neigh
boring rajahs sent deputations to Captain Downes,
assuring him of their friendly disposition to
ward the United States, and expressing their de
sire to obtain the friendship of the Americans.
In his annual message in the December follow
ing, the President thus briefly alludes to the af
fair of the Malay forts:
An act of atrocious pirarev having been com
mitted on one of our trading ships by the inhabi
tants of a settlement on the West coast of Suma
tra, a frigate was despatched with orders to de
mand satisfaction for the injury, if those'who com
mitted it should be found members of a regular
government capable of maintaining the usual re
lations with foreign nations; but if, as it was sup
posed, and as they proved to be, they were a band
of lawless pirates, to inflict such a chastisement
as would deter them and others from like ag
gressions. This last was done, and the ef
fect has been an increased respect for our flag
in those distant seas, and additional security for
our commerce.
With reference to our then relations with
Ruenos Ayres, the President declined making
an v communication as negotiations, then pending
rendered it imprudent. Gen. Jackson was “ not a
man o’muckle words” when duty was to be per
formed, but of prompt and decisive action.
Col. .1. IV. Forney.
The Columbus Enquire)- , of the tith inst., con
tains the following:
“Hoopee ! What’s in the Winu.—Col. J. W.
Forney—whilom an organ musieianer at Washing
ton for President Pierce and his Cabinet- has late
ly resigned, retired, and “gone to parts” in his
•wn native State. He now assumes the editorial
reins of a leading Buchanan paper in Pennsvlvu
nia, and through the columns of that journal de
clares that
"All the Democratic presses in the laid, with a sea
of ink tv back them, would not be able successful/)) to
defend Franklin Fierce from some rs his outrage
ous acts, not yet tnenh public !
“Well, Forney, you nearly immortalized yourself
once before by your startling announcements rela
live to the conduct of Forest in his “outrageous
acts not before made public,” now let’s see how
you’ll come out of this political squabble ot your
own friends and partisans' You are some on ‘as
tonishing developments.’ ”
It is only necessary to state that Col. Forney
has not assumed “the editorial reins of any Bu
chanan paper in Pennsylvania,” and has not writ
ten such remarks as are imputed to him in the
above article.
The Late Tornado.— The Pittsburg (lazett* thus
notices the course of the Philadelphia tornado and
its effects:
Commencing on Lake Michigan, its course was,
from the southern end of that Lake to Philadel
phia, East South-east. It does not seem to have
partaken of the nature of a tornado, until it ar
rived at about the middle of Ohio. Between
Akron and Canton it swept away powerful forest
trees, as if they had been rotten saplings. It was
about seven hours in accomplishing one-third of
its journey, say from 1“ o’clock until s—the other
two-thirds of its course was accomplished in five
hours; as it passed from New Jersey into the
ocean about lu p. m. From the time it partook of j
the character of a tornado, about 5 o’clock in the !
evening, about one hundred and twenty-five in
line hundred and fifty miles in a northwesterly di- ;
rection from this point, it travelled at about the j
rate of seventy miles an hour, and left wild con
fusion and terrible devastation in its track. Very \
tnanv lives were lost, hundreds of houses and bam3 1
were destroyed or injured, and set ;es and trees !
blown down. Probably half a million of dollars
would not pay the losses caused by the ruthless j
march of this irresistible and magnificent destroy- j
er, whose coming was without warning, whose
presence was attended by darkness, uproar and ;
confusion, and whose departure was us sudden as j
its advent. It left a broad, well defined track of
hundreds of miles in length, through one-half of j
Ohio, and the whole length of Pennsylvania, and j
crossing the barren sands of New Jersey, as if j
wearied and satisfied, it buried itself in the waves '
of the Atlantic.
One of Rogers’ Reminiscences.— The Rev. John
Mitford says that in the last drive he ever took
with Samuel Rogers, when returning by the city
road, the poet pulled the check string opposite to
the Bunhill-tields burial ground, and then desired
his friend to go out. “You see that little chapel ;
opposite; go and look carefully at the house which
stands there to the left of it, and then come back j
and get tn.” This duty performed, Rogers said, '
“ When I was a voting man in the banking house, i
aud my father lived at Newington, 1 used every
dav, in going to the city, to pass by this place.
One day, in returning, 1 saw a number of respecta- j
ble persons of both sexes assembled here, all well j
dressed, in mourning, and with very serious look ;
and behavior. The door of the house was opened, '
and they entered in pairs. I thought that without j
impropriety I might join them, so we all walked up
stairs, and cante to a drawing room, in the midst of
which was a table ; on this table lay the body of a
person dressed in a clergyman's robes, with bands, ;
and his gray hair shading his face on either side, j
lie was of small stature, and his countenance look- :
ed like wax. We all moved round the table, some
of the party much affected, with our eyes fixed upon
the venerable figure that lay before us ; and, as we
moved on, others came up and succeeded us in like
manner. After we had gone the round of the ta- j
ble in our lingering procession, we descended as
we came. The person that lay before us was the
celebrated John Weslev, and at the earnest mutest
of his congregation, they were permitted to take ,
this pathetic and affectionate farewell of their be
loved pastor.”

Public Meeting.
Savannah, May 5, 185fl. —Pursuant to a call in
this morning’s papers, a meeting of the citizens of
Savannah was held at the Exchange to-dav, to give
expression to their feelings in relation to the death
of George M. Troup, Esq., ex-Governor of Georgia.
His Honor the Mayor, Edward C. Anderson, was
called to the Chair, and John J. Kelly appointed
Secretary.
The meeting was addressed in a very chaste and
eloquent manner by Judge J. C. N’icoli, wherein he
reviewed the life and character of the deceased,
and his intimate connection with an important
and highly exciting period of the past history of
Georgia, and concluded by offering the following
resolution:
Resolved, That a committee of five'be appointed
to draft a preamble and resolutions expressive of
the feelings of this meeting in relation to the de
ceased .
Judge Edward J. Harden, after a few appropri
ate remarks, seconded the resolution, whereupon j
the following committee were appointed :
Judge J. C. Xicoll, Col. W. T. Williams, Capt. i
John E. Ward, Judge E. J. Harden, Ge». W. P. j
White.
The committee, after a short absence, presented i
to the meeting, through Judge Harden, the follow- j
iug preamble and resolutions :
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to re- j
move from the scene of his eartlilv usefulness and
labors, the venerable George Mclntosh Troup,
who, after filling many posts of distinction and
responsibility, from that of a Representative in
the Legislature of Georgia, to the chief magistra
cy of the State, and a Senatorship in the Congress
of the Union, had sought in retirement from a
public life of distinguished usefulness, the priva
cy of his home in Laurens county, devoting him
self in his declining years to the society of his
friends and neighbors.
And whereas it is meet and proper that the peo
ple of Georgia, and more especially the citizens of
Chatham county, where his first services were
given to the State, should testify a due sense of
the importance of Gov. Troup’s public services,
and theirsorrow for his death. Be it therefore
1. Resolved, That in the death of the Hon.
George M. Troup, we find a fitting occasion for the
expression of our admiration for his talents and
his distinguished public services when in life, and
of the loss which the whole State has sustained
in his death.
2. Resob d, That in Gov. Troup, the State of
Georgia possessed a firm and unwavering friend,
always steadfast in the maintenance of her rights
and her honor, and to whom more than to any of
her illustrious men, she is indebted for those ex
positions of the relative rights of the States and
the Federal Government, by which the just rights
of each are to be sustained aud our form of gov
ernment as laid out by its revered founders is to
be preserved equally from the encroachments of
usurpation and the iawlescness of anarchy.
3. Resolved, That as citizens, we deplore the
death of our venerated fellow-citizen; as men, we
lament the demise of one so learned, so firm, and
so patriotic, and that in the death of our fellow
citizen and friend, we feel that the State and the
nation have sustained no common bereavement.
4. Resolved, That the Chatham Artillery, of
which Gov. Troup was an honorary member, be
requested to fire minute guns corresponding with
the number of years of the deceased at such time
and place as shall be designated by the command
ing officers.
5. Resolved , That a copy of the foregoing pre
amble and these resolutions be handed to the
family of the deceased, through Thomas M. For
man, Esq., that the same be published in the sev
eral newspapers of this city, atid that his Honor
the Mayor be requested to have the necessary steps
taken for entering them on the minutes of the City
Council.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Capt. John E. Ward, after making some feeling
and appropriate remarks, assented on the part of
the Chatham Artillery to the request contained in
the 4th resolution.
Capt. Joseph Bryan made a few remarks, and
moved that a committee be appointed to wait upon
the Hon. J. C. Xicoll, with a request that he de
liver. at such time as would be convenient to him,
a eulogy on the life and character of the deceased.
Gen. Win. P. White seconded the resolution of
Capt. Bryan, when the following committee was
appointed :
Capt. Joseph Bryan, Xoble A. Hardee, Esq., and
Col. A. R. Lawton.
On motion the meeting was then adjourned.

Total Abstinence not a Modern Invention.
Sir Walter Raleigh wrote: “ Except thou desire
to hasten thy end, take this for a general rule:
that thou never add any artificial heat to thy body
by wine or spice until thou find that time hath de
cayed thy natural heat; and the sooner thou dost
begin to help nature the sooner she will forsake
thee and leave thee to trust altogether to art.”
J-es" The Great Restorative. Fever and
Aon: Cured nr Dr. M’Lank’s Liver Pills. Mr
Jonathan Houghman, ot' West Union, Park Co.,
Illinois, writes to the proprietors, Fleming Bros.,
of Pittsburg, that he had suffered greatly from a
severe and protracted attack of Fever and Ague,
and was completely restored to health by the use
of the LIVER PILLS alone. These Pills unques
tionably possess great tonic properties, and can be
taken with decided advantage for many diseases
requiring invigorating remedies; but the Liver
Pills stand pre-eminent as a means of restoring a
disorganized Liver to healthy action; hence the
great celebrity they have attained. The numerous
formidable diseases arising from a diseased Liver,
which so long baffled the skill of the most eminent
physicians ot' the United States, are now rendered
easy of cure - thanks to the study and perseverance
of the distinguished physician whose name this
great medicine bears—a name which will descend
to posterity as one deserving of gratitude. This
invaluable medicine should always be kept within
reach ; and on the appearance of the earliest symp
toms of diseased Liver, it can be safely and use
fully administered.

Halley’s Magical Fain Extractor.—
There never lias been a discovery made in Materia
Medica, w hereby pain can he so quickly allayed,
and where parts iu a high state of inflammation
can be so rapidly reduced to their natural state,
nor where wounds and sores can be so thoroughly
and rapidly healed, and decayed parts restored
without either scar or defect, than with DALLEY’S
MAGICAL I’AIN EXTRACTOR.
In Cuts, Wounds, Sprains and Bruises—casual
ties to which children are constantly subject the
action of the genuine HALLEY'S PAIN EXTRAC
TOR is ever the same ! How much pain and suf
fering may not thus be prevented ! Moreover, life
itself is often dependent upon having at hand the
genuine DALLEY’S EXTRACTOR, and for par
ticulars of which 1 respectfully refer to my printed
pamphlets, for the truth of which I hold myself re
sponsible.
No case of Burns and Scald, no matter how se
vere, has ever yet, in any one instance, resisted the
all-powerful, pain-subduing and healing qualities
of the DALLEY’S PAIN EXTRACTOR.
No Pain Extractor is genuine unless the box has
upon it a Steel Plate Engraved Label with the sig
nature of C. V. CLICKKNER & CO., Proprietors,
and HENRY HALLEY , Manufacturer. Price 25
cents per box.
All orders should be addressed to C. V. Click

their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate
their friends will never mention it. Pour a single
drop of the “Balm” on your tooth-brush, and
wash the teelli night and morning. A fifty cent,
bottle will last a year.
A Bbautiftl CoMftExroK may easily be acquired :

JsgrWe cannot retrain from calling the
attention of our readers to an advertisement in this
day's paper, of the “ HAIR RESTORATIVE ” of
Prof. O. J. Wood & Co., of St. Louis. It will be
seen that he has numerous certificates from per
sons of the highest character, to the merits of his
Restorative. From positive knowledge, we are also
enabled to say that il is in every sense what it pro
fesses to be, and we do not hesitate to pronounce
it the finest preparation for the head ami hair which
lias so far been devised by human ingenuity. We
have seen it arrest threatened baldness, and restore
to the head its original profusion of natural and
glossy hair, and when the latter has been prema
turely tinged with gray, we have seen it, like ma
gic, restore the colors of youth and health. The
distinguishing properly of this, we might truly
say, miraculous “ Restorative,” is that it gyves to
the person who uses it, the same head of hair that
they wore in youth, thus acting in strict compli
ance with the rules of the first and greatest of all
toilet makers Nature. No one who has used it
will hesitate to unite with us in this testimony to
its peculiar merit.— Covington, Inti, /'topic’* Friend.

tggjr Impelled by an honest desire to im«
! part useful information, and actuated with a be- i
nevolent wish to benefit the public health, we j
would call the attention of our readers to the great
j remedy known aa “Rhodes’Fever and Ague Cure.”
Ii is the only remedy now before the world, which j
with active curative properties combines entire j
i harmlessness. That this is so, we feel confident, j
j from the fact that Doct. James R. Chilton, the cel
ebrated chemist of New York, testifies to its per
fect freedom from any injurious ingredients, such
| ,ts Quinine, Mercury, Arsenic, Ac., which form the j
j active principle of most medicines offered as a ;
remedy for Fever and Ague and kindred disorders.
, The article under consideration is based upon the i
principle that for every disease, nature furnishes j
| the appropriate neutralizing agent. It is well j
known that miasmatic exhalations cause Fever and I
Ague, and the medicine before us is calculated ex
pressly to counteract those poisonous vapors.
In short, it is precisely what it claims to be, a
natural Antidote to Malaria 1
