y u r Relations with Nicaragua.
In ans* rto resolutions passed in both Houses j
of Congress, the President sent to Congress yes- j
r-rdav, a special message, accompanied bv'tlie
c ,, rri Jideuce in regard to our present relations I
ir.:!i .Nicaragua. The message is as follows : j
j„ ■ > Senate and House of Reprmt nttUiee*:
I transmit, herewith, reports of the Secretary {
f Plate, the Secretary of the Navy, and the Attoi- 1
General, iu reply to a resolution of the Senate l
f the tilth of March last, and also to a resolution i
f the House of Representatives of the Bth of Mav i
■astanr, both having reference to the routes of
.aiisit between the Atlantic and Pacific ocean - ;
•timugh the republics of New Grenada and Nica- 1
Mgua. and to the condition of affairs in Central i
America.
These documents relate to questions of the high
importance and interest to the people of th j
United States.
The narrow isthmus which connects thcconti
»:<of North and South America, has, bv the i
Abilities it affords for easy transit between the At- i
As tic and Pacific oceans, rendered the countri - j
Central America an object of special consider;!- !
n to all maritime nations, which has been great- !
augmented in modern times by the operation of
inges in commercial relation, especially those '
, toeed by the general use of gteum as a motive i
■wer bv land and sea. To us, on account of its >
■ ■ graphical position and of our political interest | [
,i-;ui American State of primary magnitude, that | !
chains is of peculiar importance, just as the ist’u
;is of Suez is, for corresponding reasons, to the i!
maritime powers of Europe, lhit, above all, the j ,
:!|„irtanee to the United States of securing free | '
transit across the American isthmus has rendered '
of paramount interest to us since the settlement j
■t th • Territories of Oregon and Washington, :
: 1 tie' accession of California to the Union. j '
Impelled by these considerations, the United i ■
- airs took steps at an early day to assure suitable I
, -atis of commercial transit, by canal, railway, of ! !
. rwise, across this isthmus.
We concluded, in the first place, a treaty of j \
... i. amity, navigation and commerce with the i i
ililic of New Granada, among the conditions of j ‘
was a stipulation, on the part of New Gran- ;
ta, guarantying to the United .States the right of J
ui or transit across that part of the isthmus 1 ,
iiich lie- in the territory of New Granada, in : .
ii-i.leraiion of which the United States guaran- |
-.1, in respect of the same territory, the rights of t '
. .vreignty and property of New Granada.
The effect of this treaty was to afford to the peo
•f the United States facilities for at once open- ‘
l a common road from Chagres to Panama, and
■rat length constructing a railway in the same j i
■l'tion. to connect regularly with steamships, |
: : the transportation of mails, specie and passen
. to and fro, between the Atlantic and Pacific
lies ami Territories of the United States.
Tlie United States also endeavored, but unsuc
- fully, to obtain from the Mexican republic the
--ion of the right of way at the northern extrem- : f
of the isthmus by Tehuantepec, and that line of '
mmuuication continues to be an object of solici- ‘
cie to the people of this republic.
In the meantime, intervening between the lv
ytblic of New Granada and the Mexican republic, |
the States of Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras, j
'• car.igua. and Costa Rica, the severed members
the former republic of Central America. Here,
the territory of the Central American States, is '
,e narrowest part of the isthmus, and hither, of J
jis ‘. public attention has been directed as the
‘-i inviting field tor enterprises of inter-oceanic 1
-ommunication between the opposite shores of j
America, and more especially to the territory of
States of Nicaragua and Honduras.
Paramount to that of any European State as was • j
•e interests of the United States iu the security |
; 1 freedom of projected lines of travel across the
- nuius bv the way of Nicaragua and Honduras,
■ '.II we did not yield in this respect to any sugges-
i- of territorial aggrandizement, or even of ex
-ive advantage, either of communication or of ’
■uimerce. Opportunities had not been wanting t
he United States to procure such advantages ; c
icetul means, and with full and free assent ot
•se who alone had any legitimate authority in ;
matter. We disregarded those opportunities,
■:n considerations alike of domestic and foreign '
lev; just as, even to the present day, we have •
-severed in a system of justice and respect for
”e rights and interests of others as well as our *;
mi, iu regard to each and all of the States of 1
ntral America.
It was with surprise and regret, therefore, that
■ United States learned, a few days after the (
aicl'i-ion of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, by
‘iiieli the United States became, with the consent ?
' the Mexican Republic, the rightful owners of p
alifoniia, and thus invested with augmented ,
:aal interest in the political condition of Cell
's’ Am -I'ica, that a military expedition under the
uhoriiy of the British Government had landed at
-in Juan del Norte, in the State of Nicaragua, and
•iken forcible possession of that port, the necessa
terminus of any canal or railway across the j-
Vims within the territories of Nicaragua.
It did not diminish the unwelcomeuess to us of this
tou the part of Great Britain to find that she '
-auied to justify it on the ground of an alleged
U'Ctorship of a small and obscure band of u;i
'•ilized Indians, whose proper name even had ( "
me lost to history, who did not constitute a (
'Ate capable of territorial sovereignty, either iu
tor of right, and all political interest in whom, '.
i m the territory they occupied. Great Britain
i previously renounced by successive treaties
Spain when Spain was sovereign of the
tatry, and subsequently with independent Span
-a America. _ *
N-werth-dess, and injuriously affected as the In .- -
' T ates conceived themselves to have been by ‘
-a ", of the British government, and by its ©e-
•tion about the same time of insular an- > i
itiUnential portions of the territory of the
of Honduras, we remembered the many and j
■ rial lie- and mutual interests by which Great
"'ain and the United Stale- are associated, and .
■proceeded in earnest good faith, and with a ,
.•re desire to do whatever might strengthen •
r bonds of peace between us, to negotiate with
eat Britain a convention to assure the perfect j
laality of all interoceanic communication*
' is- the isthmus, and, as the indispensable coil- i
•ion of such neutrality, the absolute indepen- *
t; vof tlie States of Central America, and their ■
■atilete sovereignty within the limits of their
■ r u territory, as well against Great Britain a
. -t tiie United States. We supposed we had
•mplished that object by the convention of
iynl i;i, i s .-,which would never have been sign
. nor ratified on the part of the United States,
it for the conviction that, in virtue of its provis
os, neither Great Britain nor the United States
•a thereafter to exercise any territorial sovereign
a fact or in name, in any part of Central Anier
■i, however or whensoever acquired, either he
re or afterwards. The essential object of the
nvention—the neutralization of the isthmus —
■ iaid, of course, become a nullity, if either Great
• -a -r the United States were to continue to
id islands or mainland of the isthmus, and more
' tally it, under anv claim of protectorship of
bans, "idler government were to remain forev
' r "clyn in fact of the Atlantic shores of the

-1 ■■ .dreadv communicated to the two houses
i' ingress full information of the protracted,
i nitlierto fruitless efforts, which the United
'tv - have made to arrange this international
' i with Great Britain. I‘ is referred to on
!’ : sent occasion only becau-e of its intimate
aaection with the special object now to be
-tht to ihe attention of Congress.
. unsettled political condition of some of the
‘ t-A-American repuolics has never ceased to
g irded by this Government with solicitude
regret on their own account, while it ha- been
- tee of continual embarrassment in ourpitb
■ : private relations with them. In the midst
e violent revolutions and the wars by which j
at e continually agitated, their public authori- !
' are unable to afford due protection to foreigu
' -sod to foreign interests within their Territory,
mi to defend their own soil against individual
ors. foreign or domestic, the burden of the
uveniences and losses of which, therefore, de
'V-, ia no inconsiderable degree, upon the foreign
'-s a-s iciated with them in close relations m
- graphical vicinity or of commercial intercourse. !
V| t h is, more emphatically, the situation of the
'v i States with respect to the republics of Mcx
and of Central America. Notwithstanding,
••••ever, the relative remoteness of the European
■‘A - from America, facts ol the same order have
' failed to appear conspicuously in their inter
;rsr- with Spanish-Anierictm republics. Great
Main has repeatedly been constrained to recur to
AUies of force for the protection of British in- i
in those countries. France found it ueees
to attack the castle of San Juan de Ulua, and ,
even to debark troops at Vera Cruz, in order to
obtain redress of wrongs done to Frenchmen in
Mexico.
\\ hat is memorable in this respect in the con
duct and policy of the United States is, that while
it would be as easy for us to annex and absorb new
Territories in America as it is for European States
to do this in Asia or Africa, and while, if done bi
ns, it might be justified as well, on the alleged
; ground of the advantage which would accrue
! therefrom to the Territories annexed and absorbed
, yet we have abstained from doing it, in obedience
j to considerations of right not less than of policy •
i an?.that, while the courageous and self-reliant
I spirit of our people prompts them to hardy enter-
I prices, and they occasionally vield to the 'tempta
tion of taking part in the'troubles of countries
near at hand where they know how potential their
influence, moral and material, must be the \meri
can Government has uniformly and stead’ilv re
sisted all attempts of individuals in the United
? ta ji *2 un .dertake armed aggressions against
: 'nvuulv .'Spanish-American republics.
; the present incumbent of the executive
i ortlce ha? been in discharge of its duties, he has !
; never failed to exert all the authority in him vest
! ed to repress such enterprises, because thev are in
i violation of the law of the land, which the Consti
i tution requires him to execute faithfully; because
' the v are contrary to the policy of the Government;
! an< * because to permit them would be a departure
; from good faith towards those American republics
j in amity with us, which are entitled to, and will
| never cease to enjoy, in their calamities the cordial
i svmpatliv, and in their prosperity the efficient good
will, of the government and of the people of the
i United States.
i To say that our laws iu this respect arc some- j
times violated, or successfully evaded, is only to ;
: say what is true of all laws in all countries, but'not !
more so in the United States than in any one ivhat- |
! ever of the countries of Europe. Suffice it to re- j
peat that the laws of the United States, prohibit- !
ing all foreign military enlistments or expeditions .
! within our territory, have been executed with im
j partial good faith, and so far as the nature of things j
permits, as well in repression of private person.- '
as of the official agents of other governments, both
: of Europe and America.
Among the Central American republics, to which
modern eveuts have imparted most prominence, is !
i t hat of Nicaragua, by reason of its particular po.-i I
turn on the Isthmus. Citizens of the United States i
j have established in its territory a regular intci -
{oceanic transit route, second only in utility and i
j value to the one previously established in the ter- j
ritory of New Granada. The condition of Nica- '
ragua would, it is believed, have been much more
prosperous than it has been, but for the occupa- !
tion of its only Atlantic port by a foreign pow- i
er, and of the disturbing authority set up and j
! sustained by the same power in a portion of its !
■ territory, by means of which its domestic sover- !
. eignty was impaired, its public lands were with- j
I held from settlement, and it was deprived of all ,
the maritime revenue which it would otherwise
collect on imported merchandise at San Juan del
Norte.
In these circumstances of the political debility !
of the republic of Nicaragua, and when its inliabU I
tants were exhausted by long-continued civil war I
between parties neither of them strong enough to
overcome the other, or permanently maintain in- [
ternal tranquility, one of the contending faction- ;
of the republic invited the assistance and co-oper
ation of a small body of citizens of the Unite,l j
States from the State of California, whose pre
senc-e, as it appears, put an end at once to civil I
war, and restored apparent order throughout' the !
territory of Nicaragua, with a new administration,
having at its head a distinguished individual, bv I
birth a citizen of the republic, 1). Patricio Riva-, l
a- its provisional President.
It i- the established policy of the United States I
to recognise all governments without question of I
their source, or organization, or of the means bv
which tlie governing persons, attain their power, !
provided there he a government de facto accepted ;
by the people of the country, and with reserve on
ly of time as to the recognition of revolutionary j
governments arising out of the subdivision of pa- ■
relit States with which we are in relations of ami
ty. AVe do not go behind the fact of a foreign i
government exercising actual power to investi- |
gate questions of legitimacy; wo donut inquire j
into the causes which may have led to a change of ;
government. To us it is indifferent whether a sue- ; :
cessful revolution has been aided by foreign in- 1
terveutiou or not; whether insurretion has over
thrown existing government, aud another has been
established in us place according to pre-existing
forms, or iu a manner adopted for the occasion bv i
tho.-e whom we may find in the actual possession
of power. All these matters we leave to the peo- ;
pie and public authorities of the particular coun
try to determine; and their determination, wheth
er it be by positive action or bv ascertained ac- j
quiescence, is to us a sufficjpnt warranty of the i
logitimncv of the new government.
During the sixty-seven years which have elapsed
since the establishment of the existing govern- j <
men* of the United States, in all which time this <
Union ha- maintained undisturbed domestic Iran- i
quility, we have had occasion to recognise govern
ments d* facto, founded either by domestic revolu- !
tion or by military invasion from abroad, in many j i
of the governments of Europe. j
It is the more imperatively necessary to apply ; j
this rule to the Spanish American republics, in
consideration of the frequent and not seldom ■ i
anomalous changes of organization or administra- ; i
tion which they undergo, and the revolutionary j <
nature of most of these changes, of which the iv- ;
cent series of revolutions in the Mexican republic ,
is an example, where five successive revolutionary ; i
governments have made their appearance in the ; j
course of a few months, and been recognised suc
cessively each, as the political power of that conn- (
try, by the United States.
When, therefore, some time since, a new minis- i
ter from the republic of Nicaragua presented him
self, hearing the commission of President Rivas, i
he must and would have been received as such, un
less he was found on inquiry subject to personal ex- ;
ception, but for the absence of satisfactory informs- i
tion upon the question whether President Rivas ! t
was in fact the head of an established govern- j t
meat of the republic of Nicaragua, doubt as to { i
which arose not i nlv from the circumstance of hi- , i
avowed association with armed emigrants recently
from the United States, hut that the proposed | I
minister himself was of that class of persons, j
and not otherwise or previously a citizen of Xicu
ragua.
Another minister front the republic of Nicara- ,
gua has now presented himself and has been re- , j
ceived as such, satisfactory evidence appearing j j
that he represents the government de facto, and, ; ;
so far as such exists, the government <!■ jure of |
that republic. j ,
That reception, while in aecordane with the es- j |
tablishcd policy of rite United States, ivns like- j ,
wise called for by the most imperative special exi- ,
gencies, which require that this Government shall ,
enter at once into diplomatic relations with that of ,
Nicaragua. In the first place, a difference has oo- j
curred between the Government of President Ri
vas and the Nicaragua Transit Company, which
involves the necessity of inquiry into rights of
citizens of the United States, who allege that they
have been aggrieved by the acts of the former, an.l
claim protection and redress at the hands of their i
Government. In the second place, the inter
oceanic communication by the wav of Nicaragua j ‘
is effectually interr ipted, and the persons and 1
property of unoffending private citizens of the
United States in that country require the attention
of their Government. Neither of these objects I
can receive due consideration without resumption
of diplomatic intercourse with the Government of j
Nicaragua. _ ;
Further than this, the documents communicated I
show that, while the interoceanic transit by the
way of N icaragua is cut off, disturbances at Panama
have occurred to obstruct, temporarily at least, j
that bv tlie ivav of New Granada, involving the j
sacrifice of the lives and property of citizens of the j
United States. A special commissioner has been
despatched to Panama to investigate the facts of !
this occurrence, with a view particularly to the re- !
dress of parties aggrieved. But measures of an
other class will he demanded for the future securi
n' of interoceanic communication by this ns by ;
the other routes of the isthmus.
It would be difficult to suggest a single object of i
! interest, external or internal, more important to j
the United States than the maintenance of the
communication, by land and sea. between the At
lantic and Pacific States and Territories of the
Union. It is a material element of the national
integrity and sovereignty.
I have adopted such precautionary measures,
and have taken such action, for the purpose of af
fording security to the several transit routes of j
Central America, and to the persons and property i
of citizens of the United States connected with or
u-ing the same, as are within my constitutional
power aud as existing circumstances have seemed
to demand. Should these measures prove inade- j
qiuite to the object, that fact will be communicated
to Cougr >ss, with such recommendations as the;
exigenev of the case may indicate.

Democratic Victories iu Indiana.
; The Democrats of Indianapolis, have elected
their candidate for Mayor by three hundred and
fit teen majority, and the remainder of their city
1 t * cket still larger majorities. The Indiana
hentmd says that “ never did the enemies of De
mocracy make a more desperate effort to carry
their ticket; and yet the nigger-stealing phalanx
have been vanquished, beaten, cleared out, and
shattered.”
At New Albany— which has been cursed with
Know Nothing misrule for two rears past—the
Democrats have succeeded bv a majority of over
three hundflhd.
At Terre Haute the Democrats have elected their
Mayor, and all the general eitv ticket except the
marshal.
At Lawrenceburg the entire Democratic ticket
for city officers is elected by a large majority.
At Aurora the Democrats have swept everything
before them—completely routing the combined
hosts of the opposition, who made a desperate
struggle to carry the city.
At Lafayette the Democratic majority is two hun
dred and forty-eight, and Tippecanoe county is
claimed as good for five hundred Democratic ma
jority in November.
At \ incennes the entire Hpmocratic ticket was
elected, with hut one exception.
Remarking upon the above results, the Sentinel
says :
“ Ihe Democratic banner to-dav floats proudly
over the principal cities of the State. They have j
all, with the exception of Jeffersonville, (th epeni- \
tentiary is located there,) thrown off" the fetters of
Know Nothingism with which they have been
bound.
“ In October and November next the whole
; State will speak, and theTllaek Republican column
will he shattered and broken—swallowed up in a ,
defeat so terrible and destructive that they will !
j never again be able to rally a ‘corporal’s guard’ in
1 opposition to the invincible Democracy.”

The Weather, Ac.
Storms in Arkansas.—-The Little Rock True
Democrat, of the Gth iust., says ;
‘‘The storm of Saturday night, 26th April, so
: far us heard from, has been very destructive to
property over a great extent of country. The
; timber has bcecn prostrated for some forty !
i miles on the southern road, leaving here
| and tliero only a stauding trunk or tree. The de
j struction ol stock has also been immense, and
; great damage done in every portion of the State.
“At Napoleon there was another storm on Tues
day following, almost destroying Robert’s ivharf
bqat, drowning a citizen of Desha county, John
| atson, Son ot George Watson. This storm, ive
.earn, has done a great ileal of damage to Col.
Farrelly’s and Mrs. Clay’s plantations.”
1 ue Camden Herald, of the Ist inst., says:
Our city was again visited by a severe storm on
Tuesday last. The large carriage depository of
Chase A Brother, containing a number of line cur
j riages and buggies, was blown down. Their loss
is estimated at lotto. The workshop of Mr. Clif
ton was also blown. It was principally occupied
i at the time by the Camden Ice Company, whose
j loss we have heard estimated at sl,ooo. * A good
many beautiful shade trees, in different parts of !
the town, were destroyed.
The Des Arc Citizen, of the 3d inst., says :
“On Saturday night, and oil Tuesday night, our j
town and vicinity were visited with heavy storms i
! of wind and rain, both of which were very de- 1
struetive to timber and fences. AVe learn that
numbers of houses wore unroofed, and in several j
instances cattle were killed by the falling timber.” i
The Galveston Oiviliiui, of the loth, says:
“In Texas fine rains have recently fallen. The
young crops of corn and cotton arc highly promis
ing, and the rivers arc again up and in condition !
for steamboat navigation.”
The Growinu Wheat Crop.- AVe have advices !
from all parts of the AA estern States, including j
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois Indiana, j
Ohio, Micliigau, lowa and AVisconsin, from which j
we learn that, with tiie exception of Tennessee, 1
where it has been frozen out, the growing wheat
looks exceedingly promising and healthy. The
breadth of land sown with wheat last fall was j
greatly increased over former years ; and the imli- !
cations noiv are that should the present month
prove favorable the wheat crop of 1856 will be the i
largest by twenty-five per cent, ever gathered in j
the Union. The fate of the wheat crop cannot be {
decided upon with any certainly until after the |
middle of June. —Cincinnati Dries Current.

gers by the cars, that heavy and genial rains had
fallen on the line of the Central railroad, and in

Ladt or Wife.—lt makes a man of refinement
unconsciously douh’e up his list, to he stopped
just as he parted from a friend, his mother or sis
ter perhaps, with, "1 say who is that female ?”
But there is another vulgarism iu common cus
tom which quite as much needs reformation—that ;
us styling a man’s wife his “lady.” “Lady,”
does not mean “wife.” It may mean a very dis- j
ferent personage. Nor is every mail's wife ipsa {
facto his “lady.” All are aware that the signifi
cation of the word has materially changed. That
from designating a woman of high education and
refinement of manners, it has come to signify any
one that wears a hat and feathers. It is for that
very reason that we object to its being used sy- |
nonyniously with wife.
Our idea of the matter may perhaps he best ex
pressed by a -toi v we remember to have seen.
The wife of a Dean of the English Church, called
at a grocer’s some distance from her residence and
made a trifling purchase, requesting it might bo J
sent home. The grocer declined to send ii as the i 1
time was worth more than the purchase. Think- •
ing to over power him she said, with an assump
tion of stately dignity, “Sir, I am the Dean of
’s lady.” The sturdy shopman with a low ■
bmv replied, “If you were his Reverence’s wife, 1
ma’am, I couldn’t do it.”

Joseph K. Darker was before the Police Court aud
lined for disturbing the peace on account of his
persistent dunning a gentleman for the amount ot 1
a small bill. Parker appealed, and the case came
before the Municipal Court lately for trial, and
Judge Huntington ruled that a creditor might dun

self or his agent, and not he liable to the charge
entertained in the Police Court, unless the creditor’s
or his agent’s proceedings were such as to create
general public disturbance, and under this ruling,
the jury returned a verdict of acquittal.

The Savannah Republican, of the 19th inst., says:
“ A Uvo stol 7 wooden tenement at the corner of
Price and State streets, occupied bv Mr IKmh
Sullivan, was struck by lightning during the
heavy fall of rain about 10 o’clock last night The
fluid entered near the eaves, setting fire to the
building at that point, and passing downwards
| ripped off the weather-boarding and plastering to
! the floor " f the parlor, where its force became
j spent. The flames were extinguished by an unu
dually heavy rain that fell a few moments thereaf
ter, and before they had made any serious progress
i There were persons in the house, though we are
i gratified to say they received no injurv from the
j shock.”
A New Heiress.— The wealthiest heiress in
England at this time is Miss Jones Llotd, daugh
ter of Lord Overstone, the banker. She has just
come out and created an immense sensation at the
last “drawingroom.” This wealthy young ladv
whose father is a peer, has an uncle in New York
; city acting in the capacity of a salesman at Genin's
Bazaar.
California Mustard. —There is found growing
wild in that most wonderful of all lands, Califor
I nia, a kind of mustard that is said to be superior
! to any other variety. One gentleman has culti
vated a field of forty acres, and last year he
| ground up a thousand bushels for market. It is
said that it can be sent to New York and sold for
a profit at a loss price than the current rate in this
■ market.
At one of the great Christian Anniversaries, held
in New York last week, it was stated that the So
ciety had lost $943 10, from uncurrent, broken and
counterfeit bank bills, received through the con
tribution box. The religion and the money of
these Pharisaical contributors must have been
J pretty nearly on a par.
Little Freak.—The London Ttmes in enumera
j ting some of the consequences of the late war,
says in the jauntiest manner possible : “\Ve may
I certainly say that we spent last year £05,000,000
| more than we should have done but for that little
freak of the Emperor Nicholas.”
The Snow Hill, (Md.) Shield, heretofore a Whig
paper, has raised the flagof Judge Douglas for the
Presidency.
St. Louis, May 15.—Thu city hospital was tie- !
stroyed by fire to-day, and several of theunfortuu- i
ate inmates burned to death. Others are serious! v i
injured.
| St. Louis, Mav 17.—Advices from Kansas state I
that Governor Shannon had sent an express to ■
Lexington, Mo., with the necessary papers to at I
rest Gov. Robinson.
New York, May 17.— Cotton is improving, and j
*>oo bales changed hands at 10%c. for Middling !
Orleans, PO'c. for Middling Uplands, and ll :: ,r. :
for Fair Uplands. Flour is firm at from si;ao.37 V,' j

57 cents per bushel.
23T” The Louisville Courier, of the sth inst., j
says the Adams Express Company, on Saturday, j
received by the Niagara, from New Oi lcans, thir- I
tv-eight tons of silver, in bars and coin, the pro- !
periy of the United States. It was in one hun
dred and eiglity-ilireo huge boxes, and the total \
value was $1,120,000.
2S??”The Brunswick and Florida Railroad Com- I
puny have determined to proceed on with their j
line of railroad without regard to the Main Trunk j
road.
Fire. —A few minutes past twelve o’clock last
night a fire broke out in the block of buildings
corner of Barnard and Broughton streets, owned
by Mrs. Marshall, and occupied as a dry goods i
store by George Brown.
The firemen, as usual, were prompt)v on the
ground, and subdued the flames without any inju
ry to the building. The stock of dry goods was j
considerably damaged by water.
At Ibis late hour we could not learn whether the
stock was insured or not. Sue. Journal , May
No Gloom at Home. -Above all things there 1
should be no gloom in the home. The shadows of |
discontent and wasteful fretfulness should never 1
cross tin 1 threshold, throwing these large, black j
shapes, like funeral palls, over the happy voung
spirits gathered there. If you will, your homo ;
shall be a spot where discord is not found.
Three Ends to a Roue.— A lad, wishing to turn
sailor, implied to the captain of a vessel for a !
berth. The captain, wishing to intimidate him, \
handed him a piece of rope, and said: “If you
want to make a good sailor, you must make three i
ends to that rope." “1 can do it,” readily respond- j
ed the boy. “Here is one, and here is another
that makes two. Now, here is the third”—and he ;
threw it overboard.
How Long is a Lady's Foot ?—We are curious to j
know how many feet in female arithmetic go to a !
mile, because wo never met with a lady’s foot yet j
whose shoe was not, to say the very least, “a mile i
too big for her.”
Rightier says : “No man can either live piously,
or die righteously, without a wife.” A very wicked i
bachelor of our acquaintance says to this, “ 0,
yes! sufferings and severe trials purify and chasten !
the heart.”
The editor of the New York Dutchman, speak- i
ing of a drink he once had an occasion to indulge !
in, says he could’nt tell whether it was brandy or ■
a torchlight procession going down his throat.
One of the Irish newspapers contains an adver- '
tisement announcing as lost, a elntli cloak, belong
ing to a gentleman fined with blue.
The Abbe de Dequerry, one of the most celebra- j
ted pulpit orators in Paris, recently exclaimed in j
one discourse “that woman now-a-davs in the as- ;
tnnishing amplitude of their dresses should re- i
member that the gates of heaven are very nar
row.” This is probably tlie reason why nearly all !
the saints and angels are represented very slight
ly clad by those artists who are supposed to have j
been the best informed relative to celestial cos-!
t-umes.
GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.
The Empire State of the South still ahead in, hr
Improvements.
fgjNHIS article compare fax ora
a) bly with any of like character
in the known world.
I find that by putting it in the form > Sf¥*S jt
of a Soap it gives it a decided udvan : B skS at .
tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment,
or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, us it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article, there
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers,
Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles,
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt
Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore i
Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac., ,
extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby i
preventing premature baldness. It is also one of j
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will j
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract j
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a i
superior dentrifice to the teeth. For shaving soap, ;
it forms a rich lather, softening the heard, and
curing such sores as may be on the face.
1 n the cure, of all the enumerated diseases, and
particular old sores, this soap has proved a balm
indeed, by its wonderful healing power,-:.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is only
requisite to prove its efficacy as above statist, and i
wishing to avoid everything like humbuggery, 1 j
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not i
: doubting they will then declare this to be tlie ue \
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.

Unitv Lodge, Palmetto, Ga., >
May 15th, ISSO. j
| At a called meeting of Unity Lodge, for the pur
! pose of taking some action in regard to the death
of Hon. Wm. C. Dawson, Dr. J. S. Wkatuerlv,
| i G. L. Jones, and M. 11. Loonkv, being appointed
! as a Committee to draft suitable resolutions, re
; ported the following :
Whereas, In accordance with the eternal laws
j of the Great Architect of the Universe, our Grand
! Master and beloved brother, William C. Dawson,
• has passed from the earth-lodge away to the
. I brighter and better Lodge above ; and,
Whereas, In view of his many virtues as a eiti-
I zen, his talents and purity as a statesman, his fideli
| ty and learning as a Mason, society has lost an or
nament, the country a patriot, and Masonry a star.
Be it therefore resolved, That we, as Masons,
whilst deeply lamenting the sad catastrophe,
which has so suddenly extinguished one of the
brightest stars in our Masonic firmament., yet are
consoled by the solemn conviction that he is now
a member of that glorious Lodge above, from
which there will be no removal.
Be it further resolved, That we deem the death
of Hon. Wm. C. Dawson as an irreparable loss to
the State and Masonry.
Po it further resfdeed, That we tender our heart
felt sympathy and condolence to the bereaved
] family and friends of the distinguished deceased.
| Be it further resolved, That our Lodge be clothed
I in mourning for three months, and that the mem
bers wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty
| davs.
j h-solved, That the above preamble and resolu
; tions be published in the Constitutionalist, and
] Chronicle <(■ Sentinel.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
UNLOOKED FOR TESTIMONY.
11t> DYSPEPTICS.—Says the “Spirit of
the Age lt is not an insignificant fact—-
rather an important one—and indicative of the
long promised “good time coming,” that we have,
with increasing frequency,additions from the ranks
of regularly educated physicians to the number o
those who have humanly come forward and inter
posed between the Patent Medicine Quacks and
their innumerable dupes throughout the country.
The evils which have resulted from the success of
a few persons in this line, is, we believe, incalcula
ble. Hosts of venal imitators—groveling pander
ers to tlieir own base passions, avarice, and a pru
rient ambition, have sprung up on every side and
flooded the country with foul decoctions, disguised
by their inodorousness and bad taste, proclaiming
I them universal Panaceas for all diseases.
This subject, has not hitherto failed to attract the
: attention of philanthropists, and if it did not re
; reive that attention which it so evidently demand
j ed, il was because no available means for its sup
pression presented themselves. A remedy is, hmv
! ever, now being applied to the evil, which will not
j only abate it, but, finally, and we hope, ere long, !
I exterminate it.
Regular medical practitioners arc now placing
j their best prescriptions m a popular form before
: the public —thus affording the advantages of tlieir
skill and science without the usual consulting fee
i in those disorders of ascertained characters, and
which may be treated on known principles. We
; hope that accessions to the number of those phvsi
-1 cians who prefer to seek the sick and heal them
rather than repose in dignified retirement of the
I profession, waiting “a call,” will increase until the
j whole race of humbugs are extant, and people be
assured that a popular medicine is really worth the
j wrapper that envelopes it—a rather uncertain mat
! ter with some of the nostrums that are now afloat.
We were led into these remarks by a con versa -
lion which we just have had with a gentleman —a
fiiend, who for years had been a sufferer fiom
Dyspepsia. We knew him once cheerful, robust
and healthy and, again, from the effects of this
health-destroying disorder, emaciated, crabbed,
and miserable. Whilst noticing, agreeably, a
; great change wrought within a few weeks in* his
i appearance and manner, lie, as if divining our
thoughts, asked if we did not think he was im
proving, and proceeded to tell us of the wonderful '
properties and great value as a remedy, of j
j “ BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY.” Bliss Hum- t
bug! cried we. But a letter from a lady in New j
York recommended our friend to try, as ho cx- j
pressed it, this Blissful remedy, and his serious- j
, ness in attesting his restoration to health, being |
owing to its use, our doubts vanished, and we de
termined to give our readers the advantage of our
friend’s experience in a short paragraph. Should :
i this meet the eye of Dr. Bliss, No. 20, Beekmau j
street, New York, whom we don’t know from !
. Adam, he will accept our thanks, as the medium ;
j of restoring to us a friend, estranged by disease, ‘
\ in the health and cheerfulness of disposition in j
: which we formerly knew him.
As we have not noticed in any of our exchanges ;
I mention of this remedy, we would say to Dr. 15., |
t place your discovery within the reach of all—ad
i verttse—let your light shine, even though it mav
j not he reflected in the "Spirit of the Age.”

Sun Pains <f ten years standi no cured by II (J.
Farrell \i Arabian- Liniment.
Mr. I) G. F.\hrei.l Dot Sir: I had been af
tticted with the “Sun Pain " for the last ten years
and could never get relief except lit bleeding; but
bv the use o! H. G. Farrell s Arabian Liniment-,
applied over the temples about three or four time*
a day, it was entire!} removed, and I have felt
nothing of it since. 1 went into the stable one
uight, to apply it to a hoi -e s sore leg, aud being
wry lame be stumbled and fell against uiv legs,
crushing and bruising them so badlv that they
turned black as my hat, rendering them powerless.
1 applied your Liniment, and was well enough in a
few days to go about again as usual. I also crushed
my linger in a shocking manner, by letting a back
log fall upon it; your Liniment soon healed it m>

[ Lsy. Darker, of New i 'onion, 111., so s:
Mr. 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment lias cured
some bad cases here, which every other remedy
had failed in ; one was a white swelling and con
tracted cords in the leg of a bov twelve years old.
1 he leg had withered away, and was so contracted
that he had no tier of it. Three doctors had tried
their skill upon it in vain, and he was fast sink-;,.,/
to the grace, when the boy’s father was induced to
trv 11. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Before the
first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store,
and the first words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, I
want all that Liniment you have in the store; the
one bottle I got did my boy more good than all that
had ever been done before.” That bov is now well
and hearty, and has free use of hi> legs. It is good
for sprains, braises, cuts, burns and swellings]
Look out for Counterfeits !
The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which lias lately made its appearance, called
W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buv it m goo 3
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
when the spurious mixture bus wrought its evil
effects.

to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad
