Issuing the New Cent.
Nine o’clock this morning was the hour fixed for
; —as Mr. Tittlebat Titmouse elegantly phrased it
1 | —“ scattering the shiners” —but when the morning
sun first reached the caps of the marble columns
of the Mint, long before nine o clock, be cast his
ben.goant ravs upon a numerous crew of persons
who were gathered under the portico waiting for
the doors to open, that they might get their small
silver and then- large copper exchanged for the
bright little strangers who w ere so anxiously look
! for. Every rnau and bov in tbe crowd bad
j bis package of coin with him. Some had their
: rouleaux of Spanish coin done up in bits of news
; paper, or wrapped in handkerchiefs, while others
bad carpet-bags, baskets, and other carrying con
trivances, filled with coppers—" very cheap and
filling,” like boarding-house fare.
The officiating priests in the temple of Mammon
bad anticipated this grand rush and crush, and
every possible preparation was made in anticipa
tion of it. Conspicuous among these arrangements
was the erection of a neat wooden building in the
yard of the Mint for the special accommodation of
the great crowd of money changers. This tempo
rary structure was furnished with two open win
dows, which faced the South. Over one of these
windows was inscribed tbe words, "cents for
cents,” and over tbe other, “ cents for silver.” In
side the little office were scales and other appara
tus for -weighing and testing coin, a goodly pile of
bags containing the newly struck compounds of
nickel and copper, and a detachment of weighers,
clerks, <feu.
The bags containing the "Nicks” were neat lit
tle canvass arrangements, each of which held five
hundred of the diminutive strangers, aud each of
which bore upon its outside the pleasant inscrip
tion, “$5." Just as the State House bell had fin
ished striking nine o’cleck, the doors of the Mint
were thrown open and in rushed the eager crowd
—paper parcels, well-filled handkerchiefs, carpet
bags, baskets and all. But those who thought
that there was to be a grand scramble, aud the
boldest pusher would be the first served, reckoned
without their host. The invading throng was
arraigned into lines which led to the respective
windows; those who bore silver had the post of
honor assigned them and went to the right, while
those who bore nothing but vulgar copper were
constrained to take to the left,
length, and to economize space they were wound
around and around like the convolutions of a
snake of a whimsical turn of mind. The clerks
and the weighers exerted themselves to the ut
most to meet the demands of all comers and to
dial out the little canvass bags to all who were en
titled to receive them ; but the crowd grew apace,
aud we estimated that at one time there could
nut have beeu less than one thousand persons in
the zigzag lines, weighed down with small change,
and waiting patiently for their turn.
Those who were served, rushed into the street
with their money bags, and many of them were
immediately surrounded by an outside crowd who
were willing to buyout in small lots at an advance
on first cost. We saw quite a number of persons on
the steps of the Mint dealing out the new favorites
at au advance of from thirty to one hundred per
cent., and some of the outside purchasers even
huckstered out the coin again in smaller lots at a
still heavier advance. The great majority of those
who came out “made tracks” with their bags of
money, and not an omnibus went eastward past
the Mint, for several hours, that did not, like the
aliform a steamers, {carry “specie in the hands of
the passengers.”
Those who made their way homeward afoot, at
tracted the attention of passers-by, bv their dis
play of specie bags, and we doubt much whether
in the history of ihe Mint, there was ever so great
a rush inside the building or so animated a scene
mteide of it. It was in effect at once the funeral
of tlie old coppers and of the ancient Spanish
coins, and the giving of a practical working ex
istence to the new cents.
In the course of a few weeks the new coin will
be plentiful enough at par, ihe Spanish coins will
go out of the hands of the brokers just as they al
ready have disappeared from the ordinary circula
ion,' and as regards the old cents, there will be
"narv red” to be seen, except such as will be found
in the cabinets of coin collectors.

Liverpool Stormed by a Yankee Circus
Company.
it appears that quite a pleasant excitement has
been created in Liverpool out of the rival endeav
ors of an American aud an English circus compa
ny to attract the citizens. The Times, of that city,
gives the prominence of a leading article to the
subject. Both companies have been well support
ed. It is admitted that the “ of
the trans-Atlantic cousins “ transcend the more so
ber realizations” of the race at home. The English
establishment is characterized as substantial rath
er than showy—a building which it required some
weeks to erect, aud to take down which will de
mand some time and labor. The performances were
like the buildings, good and interesting—every
rhing clean, neat, and satisfactory, as regards taste
and arrangement. “ The American tent,” says the
T nes, “is of enormous capacity, and capable of
accommodating five thousand people; is made of
material which, resisting the rain, can be pulled to
pieces, and rolled up in an hour or two, ready for
expansion again when necessity requires it. It
seems to realize life in the States, where everything
is made to bend to the necessities of the hour, and
administer to as much animal enjoyment as possi
ble in the shortest imaginable time.”
The following description of the rival displays,
and how the Americans caused the business of ihe
commercial capital of England to be suspended,
cannot be improved by curtailment:
“ The day preceding the American display, tbe
Englishman challenged the attention of the popu
lace by his team of eight horses, beautiful cream
colored animals, which he held admirably in hand,
and he cracked his whip over their glossy hacks
in a manner which seemed to please and inspirit
rather than annoy the brutes. It was an admira
ble exhibition of street driving. His musicians
and equestrians, too, following, reflected credit on
the troupe, and showed that, equestrianism, when
spiritedly conducted, can find decent people to fol
low it as a profession. The American procession
was on a larger scale—forty tine cream-colored
horses, four abreast, with a charioteer, who wore
rather an anxious appearance. He did not use the
whip—as far, at least, as we could perceive—and
it was said that he could only check the movements
of his leaders and wheelers. There were men on
each side of the horses, conducting them—an in
dispensable precaution under the circumstances,
but which seemed rather to disappoint the public,
which always delights in the marvellous. Then
came the Indian wigwam, driven by a negro, and
other illustrations incidental to the United States,
which the other establishment did not attempt to
rival. We never remember the streets so densely
crowded as they were on Thursday to witness the
American display, and to such an extent was this
carried, that for some hours the ordinary business
of the town might be said to be actually suspended.
“ W e are glad our townsmen have given these
clever and spirited strangers so hearty a welcome,
for the risk and cost of importing an equestrian
troupe of this extent from the Western shores of
the Atlantic must be serious. But we allude to
the subject here mainly for the purpose of show
ing how closely the character of the two nations is
reflected in these rival displays.”

Department News.
State Department. —An intelligent correspond
ent at London writes that the first feature which
attracts attention in the Trade and Navigation Re
port of Great Britain for the first quarter of 1857
is the great increase, when compared with years
which nave been considered the most prosperous.
The exports for the month of March alone reach
nearly £10,500,000, and for the quarter a fraction
under £29,00",000, none of which has been pro
duced by artificial stimulus. During the greater
part of the quarter there has been qnusual strin
' geney in tbe money market, and unremitting ef
j forts have been made by the press to check any
: and every tendency to dangerous or foreign specu
j latiuu, as well as investments iu foreign stocks.
The dark side of the report is that which shows
the immense imports of the necessaries of life,
being near six hundred thousand quarters of
wheat, independent of a still larger quantity of
flour, meal and corn. There has also beeu im
ported upwards of seven thousand beef cattle.
These items, with many others you will find enu
merated, imported at the end of a year of good
crops and fine seasons, prove the inability of the
country to sustain its population for a single year,
if supplies from America should fail.
Interi m Department. —It has been decided by
the department —Ist. that sections sixteen and thir
ty-six in each township in Minnesota Territory
are, bv the act of 3d March, 1549, organizing said
Territory, whether said sections were surveyed
prior to'or after the passage of said act of 1549,
reserved for school purposes.
2d. That by the act of 3d March, ISSS, entitled
“An act to appropriate lauds for the support of
schools in certain townships and fractional town
ships in said Territory,” where sections sixteen
and thirty-six shall be found fractional in quanti
ty, other lands shall be reserved and appropria
ted for school purposes to make up the deficiency.
Post Office Department. —-We understand that
the Postmaster General has concluded a contract
with the Southern Steamship Company for the
transportation of mails twice a month between
New Orleans and Appalachicola, embracing all
the Gulf ports on the Florida side, at $70,000
per annum. We conceive that a more import
ant arrangement, or one more gratifying to the
people of that section of the country, has not
■ been made for a long time, and at the same
time there is every reason to believe that the
service will be continued; for we are assured
that the company which has secured the contract
is composed of "highly respectable gentlemen, in
every way responsible for the faithful perform
, ance’ of their duties.
From Utah.
! The Washington correspondent of the Journal
\ of Commerce, in a recent letter details a plan for
the solution of the present difficulties in Utah,
which strikes us as embracing much merit. After
setting forth the latest ( known) outrages, occur
ring there, he argues to show that a large minority
of "the Mormons are chafing under Brigham
Young’s yoke, and will gladly aid the Government
in depriving him of authority, saying;
“ The American portion of the population
are prepared for an insurrection against Brig
ham Young’s rule, but they are not willing,
by a feeble movement, to hazard their own lives
j and property. Brigham Young is m power. He
j is the legal executive officer of the Territory, under
federal appointment. He has an army under his
command, which embraces the active military force
of the Territory. But, if the United States Gov
ernment would give them ( the Americans,) abso
lute protection, and secure them in their lives and
property against the vindictive revenge of Brig
ham Young and his followers, thev would very
gladly aid the United States in effecting a civil
and political revolution, and in bringing the Ter
ritory under the restraints of civil government.
“ The first thing for the Federal Government to
do is to supersede Brigham Young in his office as
Governor. This they ought to have done long
ago, before the state of things became so bad.
They are responsible for the calamities which are
to ensue from their delay in appointing au anti-
Mormon Governor.
“The moment Brigham Young is stripped of
Federal authority he will become partially paral
yzed. He must then quietly submit to a loss of
his despotic powers, or he must, backed by liis
army, resist tbe United States Government; and
this he lias declared that he would do. At this
point, half of the Mormons will join the United
States against Brigham, and lie and his force will
be put down.
"As no troops will be wanted in Kansas, ex
cept enough to garrison the forts, the government
will be able to send to Utah a body of about twen
ty-five hundred troops—a force not more than
equal to that of Brigham Young.
“It is the opinion of some of those with whom
I have conversed, that a discreet and suitable man,
as Governor, might put down Brigham Young,
and restore due administration of justice in the
Territory, without firing a gun. But lie must have
assurance of protection to those of’thc Mormons
who wish a civil reform.”
From the Washington Star, May 20.
Serenade to the Hon. I>. S. Dickinson.
The personal friends and admirers of Mr. Dick
inson last night availed themselves of his presence
in this city, on a temporary visit, to pay him the
compliment of a serenade.
When we reached the ground (Willard’s Hotel)
between ten aud eleven o’clock, we found a music
stand erected in front of the hotel, which was pre
sently occupied by the Marine band, conducted by
Prof. Scala.
The opening piece, deliciously performed in
deed, was the Gipsy chorus from II Trovatore:
then followed the Arnilie Waltz and the duet from
Masnadieri. After this came “Auld Lang Sayne,”
a piece recognized by the assemblage (which by
the way was a large one) as appropriate, and im
mediatelv upon its conclusion a shout was raised
for “Dickinson.”
Mr. Dickinson appeare d on the balcony, and be
ing introduced bv Dr. Everett, said :
Mv friends and fellow-citizens : I can make no
return for this testimonial of regard for a private
citizen but the sincere tribute of a grateful heart.
Upon the expiration of my term as a Senator in
Congress, more than six years since, 1 returned to
my home with more pleasing anticipations than 1
had left it, and have since been devoted to profes
sional and rural pursuits, with no intervals of re
laxation. Finding that a few days could be bor
rowed from accustomed avocations, 1 came with
that portion of my household which a Providence,
that “doeth all things well” has spared to me, and
a party of family friends, to revisit the political
metropolis, aud indulge the train of sad and pleas
ing memories which the changeful currents of life
have presented for our contemplation. We came
to see again the place where we had reared our
children—-where we had formed life long friend
ships—where we had enjoyed a generous hospitali
ty and a sweet social communion—where we had
been associated with those who have gone to their
rewards and repose—tbe illustrious dead—where
we had so long and so faithfully been sustained
and cheered by the valued and contiing friends who
have remembered us in our seclusion and come
hither to cheer and honor us again with their kind
ly greetings.
We have seen again the venerated Senate cham
ber, so redolent of stiring recollections, and be
thought us of the once familiar voices which are
now hushed forever. We have seeu again the an
cient Capitol, extending in its mighty magnifience
and architectural grandeur to meet the increasing
demands of a great and growing people ; the early
golden sunshine which we loved in other days
beams again; the same spacious parks, the famil
iar walks, the bubbling fountains, the spreading
trees, the shaded lawns, the green sunny slopes,
the bright blooming flowers, and the glorious Po
tomac, are all here, and lift up thier voices with nu
merous smilng friends to bid us welcome.
On every hand evidences are rising up, as if by
magic, of increased wealth, enterprise, refinement
and taste, rendering Washington worthy of the
consecrated name it bears ; worthy to be the fed
eral capital of a great family of free and indeped
ent.States. Thar it may remain such forever, is my
ardent prayer; that every State may come here to
mingle in the family communion with her sover
eign, independent equality of right; that all may
meet together like children of a common father,
in the true spirit of the Constitution, and prosecute
together their benign mission of liberty on earth —
the freedom, equality aud self-government of man.
In the humble public career to which illusion
has been so kindly made, it was my highest am
bition to sacrifice upon the altar of my country my
choicest offerings. O, would that, in a cause so
sacred, I had had other and choicer gifts to be- ;
stow. What was that public course, let history
tell. I will only add, that were that course upon
the absorbing questions of that day to be repeated,
it would only be changed by pursuing the same
subjects, in the same direction, and in the same
manner, with such increased force as a more
abundant reflection and enlarged experience
would enable me to command.
Our country is enjoying unexampled prosperity,
and our people demand repose from causeless agi
tation, either domestic or foreign. The fires of
fanaticism at home are burning themselves out
for lack of fuel, and a great, brave and intrepid
people are satisfied that they can better advance
the blessings of civilization and Christianity by
cultivating the arts of peace than by resorts to
the sword.
An executive chief has recently been inaugura
ted.to discharge the most honorable relations on
earth, in whose wisdom, and in that of those he
has chosen as his constitutional advisers, the great
mass of the American people, in every section of
the Union, have entire confidence—confidence that
justice, firmness and moderation will characterize
our intercourse with other nations —that the integ
rity of the Union will be preserved in the spirit of
the Constitution; the rights of sovereign States
maintained inviolate, and the people of the Terri
tories secured m the dearest privileges of the
American citizen, good order ami the constitution
al guarantee of true self-government.
No one has ever fully estimated the moral influ
ences of the people of Washington upon the desti
nies of this country through the social relations of
life, nor told how many sectional prejudices have
been thus mitigated, how many errors corrected,
how many lastiug, valued friendships have been
formed, and may this gentle, genial influence con
tinue to diffuse Its blessings throughout the entire
confederacy; and continue to strengthen the bonds
of fraternal feeling which make a multitude one.
May every star in tbeconstellation shed itsradiance
upon every other; aud may they vie with one an
other hereafter only in brightness and glory.
For myself and family and friends I thank you
cordially for the honor extended us, and shall iook
back upon it hereafter as one of the bright passages
upon the page of life’s history. We shall re
turn to our home pleased and gratified with our
brief visit, remembering that our lines have fallen
here in pleasant places, and among such friends as
few have ever had.
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Dickinson’s address,
the baud performed “ The Star Spangled Banner,”
“ Love Not” ( by request of the ladies'), " The Last
Rose of Summer,” and concluded their fine per
formances with the “ Bridal Schottische.”
The audience mean time recognized Walter Lenox,
Esq., upon the balcony, and insisted upon a speech
from him, which he, however, gracefully evaded by
a few well-timed remarks, under cover of which he
managed to escape.
The Original Dred Scott’s first Appearance
after the Decision. —The original Dred, says the
St. Louis Ledger, was tbe lion of the Court House
Saturday morning. About ten o’clock he made
his appearance on tbe steps frorting on Fourth
street. He was soon recognized and surrounded
by a score of lawyers, all congratulating him on
his enviable notoriety. Some said he was the j
most celebrated character of the present day— i
that he caused a greater stir in the United States j
than Lafayette himself, and advised him to go to j
I Boston, exhibit himself there, and from thence to
London, but to be sure before he left for England,
; to get an introduction from Mrs. Stowe to the j
! Dutchess of Sutherland, and that doubtless his )
fortune would be made. Others advised him to j
join the Black Republicans and stump it through j
the State for Major Rollins during the ensuing ;
canvass, while some others advised him to join the.
church. "No massa,” said Dred, “me not go to ;
Boston, nor to England ; nor to the stump neider ;
me stav in St. Louis with massa Labaum.” Dred
is a small pleasant looking negro, between fifty !
and sixtv years of age, somewhat the worse
of wear and tear. He wore a moustache and ini' j
perial, and was dressed in a suit of seedy black. 1
From the Wilmington (N. C.) Herald, May 22.
Gen. J. J. McKay’s Negroes.
One hundred and five slaves arrived here on
j Thursday, in the steamer Magnolia, on their way
for Liberia, by the way of Norfolk. They were
emancipated under the last will and testament of
Gen. J. J, McKay, for many years the Representa
tive from this District in Congress.
One only refuses to partake of her late master’s
! bounty. She will not go, but prefers remaining
where she is, as she is. The negroes are all
| young and likely, except four, and would com
, rnand from sixty to seventy thousand dollars,
j cash, to day in market. The emancipated slaves
are traveling under the care of Captain James
Robeson, who married a neice of Gen. McKay’s,
and qualified as administrator with the will an
nexed. He leaves in the train this evening, and
expects to deliver the slaves to the agent of the
Colonization Society (to which they were be
queathed, for the purpose of going to Liberia,) on
the 23d or the 24th. They sail to the land of
their fathers, carrying with them the principles of
Christianity and civilization acquired by their so
journ here.
To show- with what scrupulous fidelity the Su
preme Court of North Carolina carries out the will
of a deceased party, with reference to the manu
mission of his slaves, it is proper to state that the
executors of Gen. McKay filed a bill in equity for
the proper construction of the will, under the ad
vice of H. L. Holmes and J. G. Shepherd, Esqs.
Col. John G. McDugald represented the next of
kin, and C. G. Wright, Esq., the Colonization So
ciety.
The will was executed, say twenty-five years
ago, and, in effect, provided for “the emancipation
of all the negroes he received from his father’s es
tate.” Those he received from his father’s estate
numbered fifteen or twenty, mostly old, decrepid
and worn out. It was contended by C. G. Wright,
Esq., and the Attorney-General, that the issue born
since the execution of the will followed, and were
entitled to the benefits and privileges awarded the
mother; and that in a doubtful case, the law would
lean in favor of human freedom.
The Court decreed that those born since the
execution of the will, as well as those born before,
were entitled to their freedom, unless the Court
could discover from some subsequent act or writ
ing that the testator meantthat the increase should
not be emancipated ; and as no subsequent will
Court decided the original sttfW-s^auL 11 c ®)i>,.6?. e
crease, which he acquired from his father’s estate,
were entitled to be emancipated. And that each
one was entitled to money from the estate to carry
her or him to Liberia.
Recommendation of a new County.—lt will be
seen, by their Presentments published elsewhere,
that the Grand Jury for the first week of Baker
Superior Court, recommend the division of the
county, and the formation of a new county by the
next General Assembly of the State.
We presume the citizens in various portions of
South-western Georgia will petition the next Legis
lature to grant them several new counties, which
we presume will not be refused, in many cases.
New counties are greatly needed in this part of the
State.— Bauihridgt: Argus, May 27.

A RETIRED PHYSICIAN.
WJ' HOSE Sands of life have nearly run out, discovered
» ▼ while in the East Indies, a certain cure for (Vmsumptior.,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and General Debility. The
remedy was discovered by him when his only child, a daughter,
was given up to die. He had heard much of the wonderful
restorative and healing qualities of preparations made from the
East India hemp, and the thought occurred to him that he.
might make a remedy for his child. He studied hard and suc
ceeded in realizing his wishes. His child was cured, and is
now alive and well. He has since administered the wonderful
remedy to thousands of sufferers in all parts of the world, and
he has never failed in making them completely healthy and
happy. Wishing to do as much good as possible, he will send
to such of his afflicted fellow-beings, as request it, this recipe,
with full and explicit directions tor making it up and success
fully using it. He requires each applicant to enclose him one
shilling—three cents to be returned as postage on the recipe,
and the remainder to be applied to the payment of this adver
tisement. Address Dr. H. JAMES,
No. 19 Grand street, Jersey City, N. J.
P. S.—There are persons who pretend to prepare for sale the
Extract of Cannabis Indica” from Dr. H. James’s recipe, and
who profess to be his Agents. All such persons are imposters.
Dr. u. James’s sole object is to benefit the world, and not to
make money. He has no agents who prepare his medicines
from the recipe, and never will have ! The imposters cannot
make up the medicines from the recipe so as to sell it at. a profir,
the cost of importing the East India Hemp alone being too
great to admit of a pecuniary speculation in the genuine reme
dy. The imitations are probably compounded or molasses and
a pernicious drug or two, costing a few cents,

Dr. U avanaugh—Dear Sir: I wish hereby to make known to
the afflicted that I have been troubled w ith tiie Piles for tw«n.
ty years or upwards, and at times most severely. And” during
p. recent and exceedingly painful attack, a friend procured a
box of your Salve and asked me to give it a trial. 1 did so
Not, however, with the expectation of benefltting my disease
for truly_l had tried so many applications I had lost confident
in all But m making use of your Salve, 1 soon found that
it was doing me good: and really It is incredible to myself that
with only about two week’s use of your Salve, I am, so far xiL
can judge, a well man.
I most cheerfully make this statement, believing it due both
to yourself and such as may be afflicted with this most trying
and painful disease. I do not hesitate to sav that I consider
vour preparation au invaluable remedy for the Piles. Most
sincerely yours, ' H. N. HEALD.

flicted with that painful and loathsome disease, the piles.
After having exhausted my patience in trving various prescrin

the strong recommendation of your Salve, by my friend, the
