Current !fetn of the Day.
We publish the telegraph announcement of the
destruction of Lawrence, in Kansas. The fanati
cal efforts in Kansas and Congress have thus al
most simultaneously received a severe lesson for
their follv and want of patriotism. Lawrence is
the chief rendezvous of that band of armed Abo
litionists which has kept the Union excited by
ikciropeo defiance to the laws, and their murder
ous conduct. While all persons must regret the
necessity which has devolved upon the constituted
authorities, to enforce the laws, at all hazards,
even by calling into service the military, yet there
was no alternative, when an organized force was
in readiness, prepared to resist their enforcement.
South Carolina’s sons were engaged at Lawrence
on Wednesday, and in Washington on Thursday.
At the attack on Lawrence, the gallant forces of
Maj. Buford were also engaged.
The present phase of our difficulty with Eng

purpose of a matter for admiration by day, and
for wrapping up warm and cozily by night.
The "Angel Gabriel,” John- Sayres Okr, the

V Hard rap on Mr. Till more.
the Savannah Republican seems determined to
mtiicl severe punishment upon his friend Fillmore,
1' r signing the act organizing the Territory o
Washington. Is this the way cur sea-board frienc
appreciates the visit of Mr. J. P. Kennedy? What!
vou regard Mr. Fillmore's sentiments as “infill
itely worse than the Wilmot Proviso V" And you
advocate his election ! The Sepulliran says :
“ Squatter Sovereignty—or the right of the peo
ple qt the Territories, a' any- time after their organ
ization. to fix its condition as regards slaverv, i>
uot only hostile to the best interests ot the South,
but, in our judgment, infinitely worse than tin.
Wilmot Proviso.”
Now, the editor here evidently refers to the
"squatter sovereignty” of the Kansas-Xebrasku
act, as the enemies of and cavillers at that meas
ure so often designate it. Mr. Fillmore approved
that much condemned principle. Hedidso Jeforc the
passage of the Kausas-Nebraskaact, andthepresent
opponents of the clause urged uo objections to it.
But as soon as Mr. Pierce approved it, it was “in
finitely worse than the Wilmot Proviso.”
By the way. we notice, in ihe article from which
we extract the above, that the Savannah Republi
can is getting on rather sociable terms with the
Washington Organ. “Like, likes like,” and if
the same'iaw prevails in polities as in physics, the
two will soon be iu glorious harmony on the
Philadelphia platform.
A man by the name of Andrew Keaton, in
dicted several dangerous wounds on his wife, in
Savannah, on the 23d inst. Rum.
M e publish a brief notice this morning of
'1 -CkAMPTOic, the British Minister. Front circutn
sanes hehas become a ceiebtitv, and on that ac
"oum. we presume, the notice was prepared.
The most reasonable and consequently reliable
account of the assault 0 f Mr . Brooks upon Mr
!?.i inner, states that immediately after the adjourn
ment of Congress on Thursday, while Mr Sumner
was still in the Senate Chamber, Mr. Brooks en
tered and approaching Mr. Sumner, accused him
of libelling South Carolina and his grey-headed
relative. Senator Butler. Immediately after saying
K ..' ih, he struck him with a cane. Mr. S. fell to
ihe floor, and Mr. Brooks repeated the caning until
Mr. Sumner became deprived of the power of
speech. Previously he called for help, but no one
a.erfered until Mr. Brooks had completed his de
'.gn. . i. Sumner wag then carried to his room.
He was very severely castigated, but telegraph
despatches of the following dsv state that he
would resume his seat in the Senate in a few davs.
He will be a little more cautious, we presume,
kew he abuses his Senatorial privileges
Mr. Fillmore in the South.
There is evidently a well understood and secret
move ment, in the advocacy of Mr. Fillmore in
the South, which some future developments will
exhibit. Several of the Know Nothing papers ad
vocate Mr. Fillmore upon the ground of his for
mer political course, or such portion of it as was
exhibited during his administration as President.
Others sustain him as the candidate of the Know
Nothing party, and thoroughly endorse Fillmore
Dovelsok and the entire platform of the party at
Philadelphia, in February last.
It is inconsistent with correct principles, to sup
pose that Mr. Fillmore can be sustained by such
means, without some unseen current at work. That
portion of the party which endorses everything,
consists of the radicals of the organization, and as
they are anti-Catholic, anti-foreigner, and anti
aimost everything, they “go it blind.” But there
is a large section of this Know Nothing party,
thatwhiletheywillnotendor.se the Philadelphia
platform, are still zealous for Mr. Fillmore. It is
among this latter class, we presume, that the
“loaves and fishes” are promised, in the event of
Mr. Fillmore’s election.
We do not pretend to assert that Mr. J. P.
Kennedy’s visit to the several editorial sanctums
of the party in the South, was for the purpose of
making arrangements for the distribution of the
“ offices of honor and profit,’ in the result of a
very much desired contingency, but while “ time
works wonders,” it also often reveals the secret
machinery by which important purposes are to
be eflccted.
Iu the South it is thought Mr. Fillmore is
stronger without the Philadelphia platform than
with it, but it is necessary that he should obtain
the full strength of the Know Nothing party, and
a large enough accession from the Whigs to en
able the Know Nothings to triumph. In that
event, it is presumed the outside Whigs will be
sufficiently committed to co-operate with the se
cret order in future elections.
But before the Old Line Whigs go into this new
tiap, it would be well for them to inquire some
thing more about Mr. Fillmore. While many of
the Know Nothings are disposed to support him
without regard to the Philadelphia platform, are
they aware that Mr. Fillmore was opposed to the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise— and as a ne
cessary consequence, must be opposed to the
Kansas-Nebraska act.
Mr. J. P. Kennedy travelled throughout the
country with Mr. Fillmore some years ago — lie
was a member of his Cabinet—aud he takes a
warm interest in the success ot his nomination.
It is even supposed, that after travelling very re
cently throughout the South, to promote Mr. Fill
more’s election, lie has now gone to Europe, to su
perintend the particular phraseology of his letter
of acceptance to the Know Nothing nomination.
Before any of the “ Old Line Whigs” enroll
themselves in the new trap of the Nnow Nothiugs,
they may prudently ask themselves, where they
ire going? In a short time we shall publish some
few of the antecedents of Mr. Fidlmork. as well
as th e present authoris' d exposition of his views
upon a question ot vital and absorbing interest to
the South.
ZdC Col. Solomon J. Jones, a very worthy and
highly esteemed citizen of Mobile, died suddenly

Gen. B ra. Walker.
Mr. James Gardner — . Sir : It is quite the fashion
with a certain class of newspapers to attack the
character of Gen. W alker. applying freclv the
epithets of pirate, robber, cut-throat, Ac., aud at
tempting, by injuring his reputation, to throw dis
■redit upon the gallant enterprise of which he is
not only the leader, but the life and soul.
T had the pleasure, iu the year 1854, of a casual
icquaintance with Gen. itheuCol.i Walker, in
4;m Francisco, California, extending over a peri
>d of more than six months ; and can, from per
sonal aud close observation (for then he was a man
f mark, having returned from his expedition to
Lower California and Sonora\ assure you that
Gen. Walker is a very different individual from
the portraits so freely painted of him.
He is recognised by all who approach him as an
honorable, high-toned gentleman; mild, courte
ous and unassuming in his manners, distinguished
for his morality and temperance, in a community
notorious for the laxity of its morals.
Gen. Walker was then editor of the Omimer
■ial Advertiser, a Democratic paper, the conduct
<{ which was marked with vigor *ud sarcasm.
Jen. Walker is ambitious—he is anxious to be
the instrument in spreading our noble institutions
over the miserable Republics (?) of Spanish
America. Is not this a laudible ambition?
Let us try and do justice to the character and
ihjects of Walker, and not wait for another gen
nation (if he succeeds) todeclare him a benefactor
if his race. A.

To the Editor of the Const nationalist:
In your paper ot the 20th inst., I see an eloquent
md beautiful description of “cold water,” attn
outed to “ John B. Gough.” It so forcibly re
minded me of one attributed to “ Paul Df.nton,
1 Methodist Missionary to Texas,” published a few
years since, and it being superior to anything of
he kind, iu my opinion, I have hunted it up and
send you a copy, and ifyou have space that could
not be better occupied please publish it. L.
G‘e Rev. Paul Denton, 111 addressing a large
number of people, assembled around a beautiful
spring of pure cold water, pointing to the water
■slid: “ There, there, is the liquor which God, the
eternal, brews for all his children. Not in the sim
mering still, over the smoker tires, choked with
loisonous gasses, surrounded with the stench of
sickening odors and corruptions, doth vour Father
111 Heaven prepare the precious essence of life, the
pure cold water; hut iu the green glade and grassy
fell where the red deer wanders, and the child
loves to play, there God brews it; and down, low
down, in the deepest valleys, where the fountain
uiurniers and the rills sing; and high upon the
mountain top, where the naked granite glitters
like gold in the sun, where the storm cloud broods
and the thunder storms crash ; and away far out
nn the wide wild sea, where the hurricanes howl
music and the big wave rolls the chorus, sweeping
the march of God, there lie brews it, that beverage
of life, health-giving water; and every where it
is a thing of life and beautv, gleaming in
die dew-drop, singing in the' summer rain
shining in the ice gem, till the trees all seem turned
to living jewels, spreading a golden veil over the
setting sun, or a white gauze around the midnight
moon, sporting in the cataract, dancing in the
hail shower, sleeping in the glacier folding its
bright snow curtains about the wintry world,
and weaving the manv colored sky, that seraph’s
zom- of the syren whose warp is the rain drops
of earth, whose woof is the sun beam of Heaven,
all checked over with celestial flowers bv the
111' '’.‘o- of refraction. Still always ‘it is
beautiful that blessed life-giving water; 110
•’’’“"J hubbies on its bosom ; its foam brings
not madness and murder; no blood stains its li
quid glass. P :l ;« widows and starving orphans
weep not burning tears in its depths ; no druuk
a ds shrinking ghost from the grave curses it in
worms of eternal despair.”

W e understand ‘availability’ to mean in Dem

it to mean principles, and the man is most availa

What thi: New York City folks say
of I)R. M’LANF.’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE,
manufactured by Fleming Bros. :
New York, August 25, 1852.
This is to certify that I am well acquainted with
a man fifty years of age, for many years a resident
of this city, who has been at times extremely ill,
but could not tell from what cause, unless it, was
worms, lie told his attending physician his sus
picions, but the physician at once ridiculed the
idea, and refused to attend him any longer. Ilis
son then mentioned Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge, and
asked him if he would take it ; his reply vas—l
must take something to get relief, or die.
They at once procured a bottle of Dr. .I CLane's
Celebrated 1 ermifuge, and he took one-half at one
dose. The result was, he passed upwards of three
quarts of worms, cut up in every form. He got well
immediately, and is now enjoying most excellent
health ; and, like the good Samaritan of old, is en
deavoring to relieve his unfortunate neighbors. He
makes it his business to hunt up and select all eases
similar to his own, that mav be given over by reg
ular physicians, and iaduees them to trv l)r.
M’Lane’s Vermifuge. So far, he has induced more
than twenty persons to take the Vermifuge, and in
every case with the most happy results, lie is
well satisfied that I)r. M’Laue’s Vermifuge, pre
pared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburg, is far supe
rior to any other known remedy, and that if more
generally known, would not fail to save many val
uable lives. For further particulars, inquire of

Worth Knowing. -ProlessorWood,
whose advertisement will be found in another col- i
umn, has discovered a remedy for the gray and i
the bald, which is at once practicable and cheap, j
It requires no dyeing, no wig, nor extraordinary j
trouble. There can be no doubt whatever of its j
efficacy. We have seen testimonials almost with- ;
out number, and from men of great intelligence, j
high standing and moral worth.
Those who have been bald for years, are now j
nearing their own hair, and appear ten years j
younger than they did six months ago. As in most i
cases gray hairs and bald heads are both prema- 1
ture and unnatural, it is a duty to remedy them by
the natural and undoubted means which Professor
Mood has invented, and now kindly offers to the j
afflicted. Read his advertisement, try' his wonder
ful remedy, and give the Professor a new testimo- j
nial. —Memphis Whig.

i 5?” Dailey’s Magical Pain Extractor.
1 her! never has been a discovery made in Materia
Medicu, whereby pain can be so quickly allayed,
and where parts in a high state of inllammation
can be so rapidly reduced to their natural state,
ncr where wounds and sores can be so thoroughly
and rapidly healed, and decayed parts restored
without either scar or defect, than with HALLEY’S
MAGICAL PAIN EXTRACTOR.
In Cuts, Wounds, Sprains and Bruises—casual
ties to which children are constantly subject—the
action of the genuine DALLE VS 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 HALLEY’S EXTRACTOR, and for par
ticulars of which I respectfully refer to ini' 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-powertul, pain-subduing and healing qualities
of the D ALLEY’S PAIN EXTRACTOR.
No Pain Extractor is genuine unless the box has
upon it a Steel Plate Engraved Label with the sig- j
nature of C. V. CLICKENER A CO., Proprietors,

A Perfumed Breath.-What Lady
or Gentleman would remain under the curse of a
disagreeable breath when, by using the “BALM
Ot A I I IOLSAX D I LOW ERS " as a dentrifice,
would not only render it sweet, but leave the teeth
white as alabaster? Many persons do not know
their breath is bad, aud the subject is so delicate j
their friends will never mention it. Pour a single j
drop of the “ Balm ’’ on your tooth-brush, and I
wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty cent. !
bottle will last a year.
A Beautiftl Complexion may easily be acquired
by using the “Palm of a Thousand ’flowers." It
will remove tan, pimples and fresides 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 East.—Wet your shaving-brush
in either warm or cold water, pour on two or three
drops of the “ B rim of a Thousand /•'hirers,’' rub
the beard well, and it will make a beautiful soft J

Be#' Venil Y'idi! Vici!- The memorable
exclamation of the renowned Roman Conquerer j
might, with the greatest propriety, he uttered by | i
Dr. Rhodes, for with his “ Fever and Ague Cure” 1
he has accomplished a greater conquest than ever 11
wreathed with laurel crown the brow of Ciesar.
“ 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 1
western country. (
It is surely a nobler ambition to alleviate the
miseries of the human race by destroying disease
than to inflict additional suffering by the desolating i
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 r
vapors which induce Fever and Ague, and, by its
unvarying success, fully establishes its eiaim to
the title of a perfect antidote to malaria.
It is powerful for good, harmless for evil () ne '
trial will commend it to your approbation.

t'F iS an erroneous idea that disease cannot be !
cured except by taking large quantities of med j
ieines into the stomach, in a great manv cases of
which much injury is clone, although the dixeatc in
point be actually cured. The coats of the stomach,
by continued use of nauseating mixtures, frequent
ly become so much disordered that the diijestire \
/unction is seriously injured—the result of which
is dyspepsia, nervousness, cholics, alternate diar
rhoea and costiveness, tiatulence, nightmare, etc.,
etc. Would it not, therefore, be very desirable to
possess a remedy, which being applied externally
would excite the absorbents to increased action,
and thus carry off through this medium, the dele
terious principle which is the direct cause of the
disease? Surely every thinking man will admit
that this would not only be the mast pleasant, but
by far the safest means to effect the desired end.
The almost superhuman cures performed by the
Arabian physicians in the days of old, were mainly
effected by this course of treatment, and the ingre
dients of which 11. G. FARRELL'S CELEBRATED
ARABIAN UN IMKNT is composed, are extracted
from rare plants peculiar to Arabia. This great
Liniment (which is now to be had of most respec
table druggists and merchants in every town in the
Lnited States ) is daily effecting cures which seem
ed beyond the power of medicine to control—con
sumption, bronchitis and liver complaints, in their
lirst stages, nervous affections, indigestion, en
largement of the spleen, scrofulous tumors, goitre,
etc., etc., are frequently cured, and always relieved
by its use. It is unsurpassed as an anodyne—re
lieving severe pains in a few minutes after its ap
plication, it soothes the irritated nerves, and pro
duces that delightful tranquility so grateful to the
nervous invalid. Sprains, bruises, wounds, burns,
sore throat, chilblains, rheumatism, sun pain, etc.,
etc., are speedily cured by it, and for nearly all aii
ments in horses or cattle, requiring an external i
application, it is an effectual remedy.
