Current News of the Day.
The people of Columbus are talking about sup
plying their city with hydrant water, at a cost ot
about fifty thousand dollars, by bringing it about
three miles.
Au-heus Baker, Jr., Esq., writing from Kansas
to the editors of the Columbus Tutus and Sentir
7i«Z, after very favorably describing the country,
says “ Such is my confidence in the superior
spirit of the southern people, that for myself, I have
no doubt that Kansas will be a slave State.”
We have been seeking, for some days past, to
obtain some reliable report of the proceedings ol
the Congressional committee sent out to Kansas,
and also something like an authentic statement ol
the attempted murder of Mr. Sheriff Jones. The
account which we publish to-day, from the St.
Louis Republican, appears to be as impartial a
statement as it is probable we can obtain from an'
source, and we commend its perusal to those ol
our readers who feel an interest in the affairs oi
Kansas.

The Marietta Georgian, of the loth, says: “The
Annual Convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church for the diocese of the State of Georgia,
closed its session in this place Saturday last. On
the Sabbath two gentlemen were ordained, one,
Rev. Mr. Pinkerton, formerly of Augusta, to the
office of Priest, and Rev. Wm. McAilet to the of
fice of Deacon. Niue persons were confirmed at
night, and a larger audience was present than has
ever before assembled in the Church.
"We learu that the excercises were throughout
interesting and harmonious. Sixteen minister?
were present, and eighteen lay delegates. Bishop
Elliott entered upon his office in 1840, when then
were only seven clergymen connected with tilt
Diocese. Since that time the number has more
than doubled, and the increase in private mem
bership has been corresponding.
We find in our English files the report of a case
tried in the Queen’s Bench, of interest to Ameri
can shippers. In the case in question the part ol
the cargo damaged was flour, the damage being
caused by ,-pirits of turpentine; but both, accord
ing to the evidence, were “well stowed and dun
naged.” The turpentine, however, being in tin
same hold, its contiguity tainted the flour and thus
caused it to be deteriorated as a saleable article.
The Court held that the ship was liable for tin
damage, inasmuch as it had uot been caused by
the dangers of the sea, but by the improper stow
age of turpentine and flour iu the saw;, hold.
Boston has been agitated somewhat by the re

President Pierce and the Opposition
Press.
It is r.vher strange that President Pierce has
seldom or never done au act, or recommended n
measure, which has received the cordial approba
tion ot the editors of the opposition press of the
country. Whether the President has been unfor
tunate, or the editors captious, most persons will
readily determine.
From motives ot prudential policy, the Presi
dent refused to acknowledge Parker H. French
as the Minister lrom Nicaragua. For exercisin';
that prudence, some e (itors condemn him—ami
wheu the new Minister, Padre Vigil, is recog
nised, the President is condemned again, by the
same editors, for not having d ;ue so in the case ot
Parker H. French; and urge an additional objec
tion now that the recognition of the Padre may be
displeasing to England, and may involve this
country in war.
These can hardly be regarded as legitimate or
cogent reasons to oppose the President, when his
course is opposed in the United States Senate, bv
Mr. Crittenden and others, for his precipiiancv m
the recognition of the uew Minister.
There have always existed, and will probablv
continue to exist, grumblers iu politics and morals.
It is impossible to please one portion of the recus
saut family, without bringing down a vast deal of
denunciation from the other.
The political morals of portions of the opposi
tion press are rather novel. Sme assert that the
recognition of the Nicaraguan Government now
•‘may jeopardize the peace of the world.”
If the “ peace of the world” is suspended bv so
attenuated a web as the mere acknowledgement
of the Rivas government of Nicaragua, the sooner
the web is broken the better, and some more ade
quate protection adopted, “laying its foundation
ou such principles, and organizing its powers in
such form as to them shall seem most likely to ef
fect their safety and happiness.”
It is simply absurd to urge against President
Pierce, that his delay of a few weeks in acknowl
edging the Rivas government, was a material blow
aimed at the existence or stability of that govern
ment. The recognition of the new form of a gov
ernment, with which we have been in friendly in
tercourse, is not a matter for impulse or passion to
determine. Nor are the obligations of our govern
ment to coterminous governments, and to our own
imernrl aud external policy, to be cribbed and
confined, for fear of “jeoparding the peace of the
world.”
While President Pierce is condemned on one
side for his dilatory course, and on the other for
his precipitancy, it is more than probable that he
pursued the proper means between the recussaut
assailants of his administration, and deserves the
thanks of the conservative and sound thinking
men of the country.

The Charleston Courier contains a very j

•ay in conclusion to Ole Bell ;
“No flower that Charleston can bestow, could i
possibly add brightness to that wreath of fame !

selves with rendering their most grateful thanks S
tnd wishing Mr. Ole Bull a continuance of the i
success that his genius has ever won him in lus'

The Peace < ongress Doctrines Prevailing.—
The most sensible feature of the whole proceedings ,
of the conterenceof the European Plenipotentiaries ’

that, iu the event of any serious misunderstanding
wising between any of the powers, they shall, be

offices of a friendly power, which is carrying out
Hi substance the principle of the Peace Congress,
md is certainly a more rational and less expensive
way to settle a difficulty than the resort to gun

Public Meeting.
Eluay, Georgia, May 17, 1858.
A public meeting of the citizens of Gilmer coun
ty was held in the Court House on the lf>th inst.,
for the purpose of taking action on the importance
if building the Elijah railroad, when Benjamin
Johnston was called to the Chair, and W. R. Cole
man requested to act as Secretary.
Col. E. W. Chastain and Gen. A. J. llansell be
ing called upon to address the meeting, who, iu
their spirited manner, portrayed the vast irnpor
ince of the work at some length, when the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were submitted :
We believe it is the true interest of every section
of the State, to connect the copper mines, in the
vicinity of Ducktown, with the State road at some
■ligible point.
ft is manifestly a work of great importance to
the great growing and rapidly increasing business
>f the State road, in which our whole people have
in interest.
It cannot fail to be seen by the most ordinary
capacity, that all our railroad corporations, peiie
rating the whole State from Atlanta, have a deep
ind abiding interest in this enterprise, for we
lazard nothing in affirming, positively, that as a
feeder to our entire railroad system, the contem
plated road would have no equal.
We are not unmindful of the fact that these great
advantages, which are in the easy grasp of our
people and our own State, are in danger of being
lost to us partially, if not entirely, by the rival in
terests and enterprises in other States.
Therefore, iu accordance with our feelings of in
terest in this question, we ask our people, our
whole people, and especially the citizens of the
j counties through which the road would run, and
j our railroad corporations and companies, to awake
J to the importance < f the enterprise, and take im
’ mediate action.
i It is known to us who live in this section, that
| the route for the road from points on flic Western
j and Atlantic railroad, is not only practicable but a
: very cheap one. We fear that this is not genera!-
: ly known, and. therefore, earnestly entreat our
i friends ot the Georgia railroad, the Macon and
| Western railroad, and the Central railroad Compa
nies, and other connecting roads, to aid us in sur
veying the route, and reporting upon its practica
bility and utility. Therefore—
-Ist. Resolved, That a committee of three be ap
pointed by the Chairman of this meeting to cor
respond with the Presidents of the above roads on
this subject.
2d. lb solved. That a subscription in each militia
district in this county be taken to defray the ex
penses of a survey ot' the route.
3d. Resolved, That we ask the railroad compa
nies to aid us liberally, by subscription, for this
purpose.
4th. Resolved, That we recommend to the citi
zens of Fannin, Gordon, and other counties who
feel an interest in this great work, to hold meetings
immediately or, this subject.
sth. Resolved, That we fully and cordially sus
tain Gov. Johnson in vetoing the charter of tht
Hiwassee railroad hill, and think great injustice is
i being done by public meetings held, impugning
the motives of the Executive of our State, who
acted from principles of State police.
■ith Resolved, That the above proceedings be
. published in the Savannah weekly Journal and
weekly Constitutionalist, with a request that all
1 others friendly to the cause will copy.
On motion, the above preamble and resolutions,
without dissent, were adopted.
The Chair then appointed J. J. Field, K. R.
Hint and E. W. Chastain, a committee of three,
to correspond as requested in resolution Ist.
The meeting then adjourned.

Knowing. -Professor Wood,
whose advertisement will be found in another col
umn, has discovered a remedy for the gray and
the bald, which is at once practicable and cheap.
It requires no dyeing, no wig, nor extraordinary
trouble. There can be no doubt whatever of its
efficacy. We have seen testimonials almost with
out number, and from men of great intelligence,
hiptli standing and moral worth.
Those who have been bald for years, are now
wearing their own hair, and appear ten years
younger than they did six months ago. As in most
cases gray hairs aud bald heads are both prema
ture and unnatural, it is a duty to remedy them by
the natural and undoubted means which Professor
Wood has invented, and now kindly offers to the
afflicted. Read his advertisement, try his wonder
ful remedy, and give the Professor a new testimo
nial.— Me .aphut Whig.

Mrs. Mary Payne, and of her son-m-law, A. C
Caldwell, and family, are invited to attend the fu

McKinne street, above the factory, THIS (Thurs
day) AFTERNOON, at 4 o'clock. my 22
DIED,
After a short illness, at his residence in Gaines
ville, Ga., on the Oth of May, ISSG, iu the 82d year
of his age, Dr. Richard Banks.
Never before have the feelings of the people of
this village and the surrounding country, been so
chilled, and their hearts so wrung with grief, at
the decease of one of their number. Seeing him
but two days previous to his death, the picture of
health, the pride of his associates, endeared to all
by that kindness of heart, that gentleness of dispo
sition, that want of ostentation, that urbanity of
manners, that general intelligence, for which he
was so deservedly celebrated, an ornament to
society, aud the solace of his community’s afflic
tions —none but the Omniscient could have known
that his earthly career was about to terminate.
None but the A mighty cun tell why it is that he
who, tlius so uniw :sally esteemed, admired by all,
without an eneui to mar his happiness, or an im
pure sentiment to fester within his breast, should
be cut off from an endearing family, a loving com
munity, and the wicked be allowed to live, as the
spared monuments of his boundless goodness and
endless mercy.
The subject of these remarks was a native Geor
gian—one of her gifted offspring—of a highly re
spectable family ; born in the county of Elbert, in
the year 17i*4, the son of Mr. Ralph Banks. Evi
dencing in youth, as ho ever did in manhood, the
marks of a strong mind, he was thoroughly pre
pared, aud at an early age, entered the Medical
College at Philadelphia. Pursuing energetically
his studies; always enjoying the implicit confi
dence of his fellow-students, to whom they looked
as their superior, and as one to whom they would
ever alter, should occasion offer, be pleased to bear
a tribute of respect. There he graduated, in the
year IS2I, not only with honor to himself, but to
the place of his education and the family to which
he belonged. Before entering at large upon the
profession of his choice; in order that lie might
reduce to practice the theories of Surgery and
Medicine, which he so full v comprehended ; before
entering upon the future field of his labors, ’midst
the companions of bis childhood ; and especially
that he might successfully master the most malig
nant maladies that might bo brought to his favor
able notice, he consigned himself, for three vears
more, to the labors of the hospital in the city of
brotherly love. Thus being prepared, he returned
to his native place, to receive the gladsome wel
comes of his early associates. From the earnest
entreaties of his confidential friends, here he com
menced, and for a scries of years continued to prac
tice his profession in the county of Elbert and the
adjoining portion of South Carolina. With what
success, let the family yet living—the subjects of
his ministrations—bear witness. However, to this
fact, likewise, let the esteem with which he has
ever been held, bis position in this State as a
physician—at the time of its organization, was se
lected and continued up till the day of his death,
one of the Medical Board, and which, in active la
bor. he stood inferior to none, at the head of his
profession, bear corroborating testimony.
In the course of time, having weakened his
strength by incessant and apparently endless labor,
that his days might be prolonged, and his useful
ness increased; that his energies might be re
newed and his general system invigorated by the
cxhileratitig breezes of a climate congenial to an
enfeebled constitution, in 1832 he moved to Gaines
ville, in Hall comity. Enjoying, for a short time,
the pure atmosphere of this region, his strength
increasing, and his health renewed, at the solicita
tions of hi" friends, hot i far and neap, he was again
forced for a few years into the field of practice ;
during which period the halt, the blind, the maim
ed, persons afflicted with every species of disease
known to the human family, flocked around him.
His celebrity, which was great, did not exceed his
deserved worth, nor the amount of his actual busi
ness. But feeling his former weakness stealing
upon him, finding his pecuniary resources ample,
he was compelled to narrow down the business of
his profession to a very lit filed sphere. To this
circle, us well us to all that called upon him, he
gave freely his invaluable advice, and prescribed
gratuitously even up to the period of his death.
In Georgia, never has a physician won a more en
viable reputation, nor has a Surgeon, in the per
formance of his operations, so completely secured
the affections of his patients.
As a politician, those measures, in his opinion,
hat would accrue to the well being of his country,
were by him forcibly and unflinchingly advocated!
He desired no distinction, although parts of pre
ferment wore often tendered him, vet as often were
hev kindly refused. Being purely Democratic in
dl liis notions, a mildness and liberality pervaded
every sentiment that feli from bis lips.
As a man of business, be maintained the strict
est regard for integrity. Honest and upright in all
his dealings with mankind, lie asked of others to
be likewise. Virtue, morality, rectitude and intel
ligence formed a sure passport to bis affections.
T i the poor man. an unyielding friend. His
deeds of kindness, his acts of charity, his untold
benevolence, will speak in living tones, in years to
come, when we He silent in the tomb. His hand
and his heart were ever ready to supply the wants
of the needy—never was a reasonable request
sought but was granted.
In 1841 he united himself to the Methodist Epis
copal Church. Although fully, in sentiment and
at heart, he belonged to this persuasion, yet as in
politics, he was liberal toward other denominations.
The mutual interchanges of societies added much
to his delight. As the tree is known by its fruit,
and faith by its works, so was his religion evi
denced by his every act, his daily walk and con
versation. In hint was the language of St. James
fully verified, “ That pure and undefiled religion
before God the father is this—to visit the father
less and widows in their afflictions, and keep him- !
self unspotted from the world.” As in bis profes
sion, us a physician, so among his brethren in re
ligion, he stood their head and leader—the main
stay and support of his Church. Let his numer- ;
ous co-workers in Christ around me, testify to the
truth of this remark. No man, even the most j
sceptical, ever doubted liis religion.
But he is g me from our midst, though not with 1
out leaving a lasting impression behind. His like j
we will never see again. Gone the way of all flesh
to realize the trims of his religion. Gone towel
come that resurrection morn, when the graves of
every age and country, from the period of righte- ■
ous Able down to the last trumpet sound, will de- ;
liver up their dead. Gone to await the coming, 1
and meet ino more to part l that interesting family,
the nearest, the dearest to his heart—when that
voice, the sweetest, no longer in sorrow shall again, j
in accents more thrilling, be heard exclaiming, !
“ that he is not dead ;” and when he aud they, j
’midst the ransomed throng of Heaven’s hosts, as
cending on high, shall enter the mansions of ever
lasting light and glory, in blessed harmony and
happiness, to spend theirendless eternity.

23?“ Dailey’s Magical Pain Extractor.—
There never has been a discovery made in Materia
; Medina, whereby pain can be so quickly allayed,
j and where parts in a high state of inflammation
j can be so rapidly reduced to their natural state,
tier 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 PAIN EXTRACTOR.
In Cuts, Wounds, Sprains and Bruises—casual
ties to which children are constantly subject—the
action of the genuine DALLEY’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 I respectfully refer to my printed
pamphlets, for the truth of which I hold myself re
sponsible.
No case of Burns and Scald, ua 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. CLICKENER & CO., Proprietors,
and HENRY DALLEY, Manufacturer. Price 25
cents per box.
All orders should be addressed to C. V. Cliek

137“ A Perfumed Breath. What Lady
or Gentleman would remain under the curse of a
disagreeable breath when, by using the “BALM
j OF A THOUSAND FLOWERS ” as a dentrifice,
would not only render it sweet, but leave the teeth
white as alabaster? Many persons do not know
‘-heir 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 teeth night and morning. A fifty cent,
bottle will last a year.
A Beai tiftl Complexion may easily be acquired
by using the “ Hahn of a Thousand Flowers.’’ It
will remove tan, pimples and freckles from the skin,
leaving it of a soft and roseate hue. Wet a towel,
pour on two or three drops, and wash the face night
and morning.
Shaving Made Easy.—Wet your shaving-brush
in either warm or cold water, pour on two or three
drops of the “ Palm of a Thousand Flowers,” rub
the beard well, and it will make a beautiful soft
hither, much facilitating the operation of shaving.

13?" Veni! Yidi! Yicil—The memorable j
exclamation of the renowned Roman Conqueror 1
might, with the greatest propriety, be uttered In
Dr. Rhodes, for with his “ Fever and Ague Cure” I
j he has accomplished a greater conquest than ever
; wreathed with laurel crown the brow of Cassar. j
“Peace hath her victories, no less renewed than
war,” and no greater triumph was ever achieved
by chemical skill than the production of this great
remedy for the malarious diseases which afflict our
western country.
Tt is surely a nobler ambition to alleviate the
miseries of the human race by destroying disease,
than to inflict additional suffering by the desolating j
scourge of war —and he who saves one life is great
er than he who destroys thousands. The article in
question possesses the peculiar property of com- :
pletely neutralizing the effects of those poisonous ;
vapors which induce Fever and Ague, and, bv its I
unvarying success, fully establishes its claim to
the title of a perfect antidote to malaria.
It is powerful for good, harmless for evil. One
trial will commend it to your approbation.
