The Matches Disease.
Many <.!’ our renders will smile when we say
.at there is a disease called in common par
aiee, “the matches disease.” Very few,
tig the thou-ands of millions who light
'heir lam.>, their pipe, or their cigar with a
lueil'er match, are aw are of the fact that those
11 m u ufacture and those who use these
■he- are liable to contract one of the most
a iful of diseases. We quote from the New
York Stm :
“Quite recently, n young woman, who work
ed in a match manufactory, was sent to the
’’.■ll -,me 11 ispital to ha ve an under jaw remov
which had become diseased by inhaling the
-pic ri •a, id used in’the factory. The op-
• ition was skilfully performed, and the young
v 'man. after some time, went from the hospit
al perfectly cured. She had, however, a dis
■ .- ■1 t xith in one of her upper jaws, and re
turning to her old business of match making,
-he ion c attracted anew the disease, and fi
nally died of it.”
Another instance of this “match disease”
■ ame under our observation yesterday at the
B-ilvue Hospital. A young girl who has
w ked in a match factory, had her left upper
” .v, which had become diseased, removed by
■ie surgeons of the establishment, in presence
■me of our most eminent physicians. Dr.
M itt. Junior, and Doctor Church performed
■ . i ration, in presence of a large number
the faculty—Doctor Mott, Senior, and Dr.
Francis being present, and assisting with their
advice.
The young woman was brought into the op
erating ro .m or “theatre.” and placed under
tin influ. nee of ether. When she had become
i rfe tly insensible, the cheek was cut open
from the chin to the oar, and the diseased jaw
cut out. The roots of the disease were follow
_d and cut nut, and the blood vessels caaefully
tied up. Before the operation was completed
-lie returned to consciousness, and her cries,
'.vliile the cheek was being sewed un, were ag
onizing. Several left the room, but the Doc
tors continued their work with the utmost im
' Ivon The portion of the jaw removed
■ : >ol the pectators remarked, “perfect
ly rottan.”
We learned from the physicians that the
ii-en ‘is quite common among those who work
in match factories, and that it is dangerous for
;.ny one who has diseased teeth to be employed
in tho manufacture of lueifer matches. They
also state that the disease may be contracted
by those who have diseased teeth, by lighting
cigars or a pipe with lucifers, and inhaling the
pl spheric acid, which is liberated by their
ignition. It is well for people to understand
this fact, and. as tiie doctors say, if a person
I: a diseased tooth, he or she should have it
i cmoved at once, and thus escape all danger of
the "match disease.”
Instinc t or a Cat. Ww lutvo a new
b.-r. and that near neighbor has a cat, and that
iat lias had several litters of kittens during
her day and generation : each litter consisting
of triplets. On the discovery of each of these
ipl feline progenies, the family in which iter
o-liip resided were in the habit of destroying
two-of them without leave or license. Puss
was, . ■- •, indignant, and changed her
nursery, but to no purpose; her offspring were
1 und and all Lut one unceremoniously de
spatched. Latterly she was observed in an
unaccustomed place, nursing a single kit. which
it was supposed, for the first time, constituted
the whole brood. Thus matters stood for near
i wee weeks, when it appeared that Mrs. Puss
had outwitted all the humans of the household;
for, having learned by sad experience that if
discovered with the usual number, two of them
must be sacrificed at once on the altar of econ
omy, she had early taken the precaution to
carry off and deposit tiro of them under an old
outbuilding, keeping the one and two separate
and apart, and nursing and caressing them al
ternately, day and night, as she was recollected
. have been seen during all hours of both go
ing from one place to the other, until they had
nearly arrived to the stature of cathood, when
this clever trick of feline strategy was brought
to light.— Exchan'je.
Interval Between Meals.- —As a general
rule, uu interval of from five to six hours should
. ’apse between meals, but this, of course, must
vary according to circumstances, and depend
up n appetite. Persons engaged in business
frequently do themselves much mischief by
disregarding its monitions amidst the bustle
nd excitement of trade. After a time, it is
true, the appetite subsides, but the necessity
,f fool is not thereby removed. It is no ann
ual thing for n merchant to breakfast at seven
' o’clock, or eight, and dine at three or four,
I « hunt having, during all this time; eaten any-
Ung. This long fasting is injurious, and the
übsequent full meals it induces still more so,
whether the fact be observed. In such cases,
1 “snacks’ 7 should always be taken.

A trip from St. Louis to New
YORK IN A BALLOON.
St. Loiis, July I.—The first grand experi
mental air voyage to the seaboard took place
from Washington Square this evening, Profes
sors Wise, lAmiountain ami Gages having
made a succes-ful ascension in the mammoth
balloon ‘‘Atlantic.’’ At 11.40 p. m., the infla
tion of the balloon was finished, having been
witnessed by thousands of citizens, while the
square outside of the enclosure was thronged
by excited spectators, ami the voyage was
commenced. AVilliam Hyde, reporter of the
Ee/iuhlii accompanied the leronauts; but
should his weight prove an obstruction to the
passage of the balloon, he will be landed at a
favorable point, ami this course will be repeat- I
ed, if nece-.-.-my to the accomplishment of the
end in view, until all the party, excepting one,
together with the b at. are landed —Mr. AVise
being determined to reach the Atlantic coast,
if such a thing is possible. A package con
taining letters, St. Louis papers and wbsteru
exchange papers, was sent by the U. S. express,
which will be forwarded to their agent in New-
York from whatever place the aeronauts alight.
They are expected to reach some point on the
sea-board between !> and 12 o’clock to-morrow
Mr. Brooks, manager of the St. Louis Muse
um, preceded the main party a few minutes in
his balloon “Comet,"’ designing to accompany
the “Atlantic"' a short distance, and to return
in the moi niug. Tiio weather was favorable,
and the balloon took a direction towards Lake
Erie, but when last seen was pursuing a course
almost due cast.
Sandtsky City, Ohio, July 2.—The balloon
“Atlantic” passed over this city at 7 o’clock
this morning.
Cincinnati, July 2.—The balloon passed 0
miles north of Fort AVayne, at 4 o’clock this
morning. The small balloon was seen at the
same time, a considerable distance south. The
large balloon passed Fremont at 7, and San
dusky at 730a. m. Its course was then due
east. It is possible it took a north-easterly
direction utter passing Sandusky, as nothing
has been heard from it on the southern shore
of Lake Erie.
Cleveland, July 2.—The balloon passed
Fairport, thirty miles east of this point, at
9.30 a. m., and was seen to nearly touch the
water. It rose again and disappeared in a
northeasterly direction.
Sandvsky, July 2. —The aerial ship, Atlan
tic, passed here at 7 o'clock this morning. Its
course was east by north. A paper was drop
ped from it, but it fell, nnlbi tuuately, into the
lake. Only three persons were visible. The
name of the ship was distinctly seen.
New Y t obk, July 5. —The balloon from St.
Louis landed on Sunday, July 3, at Henderson,
Jefferson county, in this State. All four of the
voyagers are well, ana are en route ivi ivv..
York. The point of landing is near AVater
town, at the eastern extremity of Lake Onta
rio. The distance trom St. Louis to this point,
in a straight line, is about 900 miles.

’Tis our country’s morn of freedom,
Now each Patriot far and near.
Join in shouts of Lmd “huzzah!”
Martial music to mine ear !
Hail! all hail the glorious day.
Rebound the song of Liberty o’er;
Chorus now the thrilling lay,
From Atlantic to Pacific shore!
Many banners are floating by,
Gracefully in the air—so gay,
Flag of our country’s wafting high,
On this auspicious day!
The merry birds sing more vain.
As they trill in sweetest melody ;
AVarbling gay in native strain,
They too would join in harmony!
Day of Freedom, all hail to thee!
Thy acting heroes long have fled,
But ever weaving in memory
New homage to the ’lustrious dead!
Long shall their remembrance bring
To America's cnilJ a flush of pride;
Their noble heart's blood oft did wring—
In this glorious cause they fought and died!
Hail! my country’s morn of glory,
AVith prowl heart I join the throng,
In gladly raising anthems loudly—
'Tis glorious Freedom’s song!
Long may our stars and stripes be,
High floating in the air supreme,
And spread o’er land—o'er sea;
Freedom is- our maj. -tic Qieex!
AVelcome! day of Glory, welcome!
AVith joyou -h uts we greet thee;
Glad again we see thee come,
The dawn of glorious Liberty!
And while the shouts are ringing clear,
AVe would nut think ’twas justly done ;
If ’mid the chorus we did not hear,
The noble name of AA'ashington !
Yea. 'tis the name on every heart,
Enscribed. with love and valor won;
A throb of joy it does impart.
The proudest name is. At asiiington !

MjYCOJSF, GEORGIA, JULY 16, 1859.
From the ColumbuF Times.
Opposition Convention—-3d DIS-
TRICT.
From the Macon State Press, we learn that
j the Opposition convention, which assembled
| at Forsyth on Tuesday, the 6th inst., nomina
ted the Hon. Thomas Hardeman, Jr., of Ma
con, for Congress, in the ::.l District. This
gentleman is one of the Representatives in the
Georgia Legis’ature from the county of Bibb,
and a man of fine social traits. Still, his cause
and party affiliations are such as to deny to us
all sympathy for his success. AVe think the
opposition made a mistake in selecting a stan
dard bearer from tho eastern portion of the
District. The western section has always
| brought up the majorities for the American
party, and have never yet received the crumb
of a reward for their zeal and devotion to their
cause. AVhile we should have opposed the
candidate chosen by the Opposition Conven
tion, no matter from what end of the District
he might be selected, yet we are satisfied that
Harris or Upson county was entitled to the
nomination. In the person of Col. D. P. Hill,
the Opposition has always rallied strong in
this portion of the District. The Opposition,
however, do not value bis influence or count
upon his numbers as the Democracy. AA’e
promise to give Mr. Hardeman a manly, open,
determined opposition, resorting to nothing
that would wound his most delicate sensibili
ties; but, believing that the Democratic flag,
under an active leader, san be hoisted above
the factions and light up the path to a glorious
and triumphant victor.y
Arrival of European Steamers.
New Y’oiiK, July 7.—The European steam
ships Vigo and Asia, arrived to-day. Their
commercial intelligence has been anticipated,
as also much of the interesting political news
brought by those vessels. They bring Liver
pool dates to the 25th June.
In addition to what has already been pub
lished of the Emperor Napoleon’s dispatch to
the Empress, he says: “ AVe have taken all
the enemy’s positions.” Much other inter
esting intelligence is communicated in the
Emperor’s dispatch, but it refers to matters
which transpired previous to the battle.
Garibaldi has continued to surprise the
Austrian positions by his rapid movements,
and setting the whole country in favor of the
national cause.
An outbreak at Padua, in favor of Sardinia,
had occurred, but was at least temporarily,
suppressed by the Austrians, and the city de
clared in a state of siege.
The Prussian Gazette officially says: The
Prussian Government would be faithless to its 1
duty, and to the sense es the German nation, '
if she should neglect to act commensurately '
with that spirit by which Prussia has become ]
great. Prussia is free from every engagement,
and she obeys only these obligations which
spring from the innermost nature of her State ■
interests. It will soon be seen whether Prns
-!«’S illil'-'-'- - v- -rr-uAwUAU,. n»- ■
cessary weight by Germany.
The same paper states that Prussia's policy
stands firm; and whoever lays obstacles in its '
way, may consider that he is rendering service
to the enemies of his fatherland.
Attempts had been made at Rome, to dis
play the tri-colored flag, but the efforts were
suppressed by Guion.
The Pope protests against the dismember
ment of the Papal States; and he recently
communicated to the Cardinals a letter from
Napoleon, guaranteeing the independence of
the States of the Church.
It is said that the Pacha of Egypt refuses to
send a contingent force to Ronmelia, saying
that it is in consequence of the indecision of
the Porte. The army, however, will be put
on a war footing.
Rebuction of Postage.—Notice is given
that, on and after the first of July, instant, the
postage upon letters transmitted in the Brit
ish mail, via England, between the United
States and Portugal. Madeira, the Azores, the
Cape de Verd Islands, and all the other Por
tuguese possessions on the const of Africa, i
reduced as follows, prepayment of the postage
being obligatory: For a single letter not ex
ceeding a quarter of an ounce, twenty-nine
cents; for a letter over a quarter ounce, but
not exceeding half an ounce, thirty-seven
cents ; for a letter over half an ounce, but not
exceeding three-quarters, sixty-six cents; for
a letter over three-quarters of an ounce, but
not exceeding an ounce, seventy-four cents.
Also, on adding eight cents for every addi
tional quarter ounce, or traction thereof; and
also twenty-one cents for every additional
half ounce, or fraction thereof—which rates
are in fell of the postage to destination.
The office of Attorney for the State
railroad has been abolished ; but whether the
expenses incident to such an office, have been
likewise abolished, remains to be seen.
A SiNGt'i-AR Puophei v.—The following cu
rious paragraph is from the Cologne corres
pondent of the Continental Review :
“ AVe may now afford to smile at the West
phalian who lived some hundred and fifty
years ago, and predicted a terrible European
war, in the course of which the Turks should
cool the feet of their horses in the Rhine.
These things—thus runs the tradition —were
to come to pass when carriages ran without
horses, and the Prussian soldiers were dressed
like the soldiers who crucified Christ. Car
riages do rnn without horses, and the silhou
ette of the Prussian soldier, in his tunic and
helmet, is in all respects that of a Roman le
gionary. But the superstitious who speculated
on this singular prophecy, could never recon
cile with it the decline of Turkish power, and
manifest improbability of tho Sultan’s troops
Harrying the standard of the Prophet to the
banks of the Rhine. They forgot that France
has Algerine regiments of Saphis and Zouaves,
mid that many of them are as good Mussnl
men as ever walked the streets ot Stamboul.”
Significant—The Cambridge Chronicle
says tha* a gentleman visited one of their
fashionable built churches, for the purpose of
worship, and on asking the sexton for a scat,
he replied, “AA’e have plenty of scats to let,
sir!” The sexton, however, notwithstanding
! his curt answer, condescended to show the :
I stranger to a seat. At the close of the ser- ■
! vices, the gentleman inquired for theTreasur- i
I er of the Society, und ascertaining the price
j for one year, he quietly handed hiin the
I amount, with the request that tiie seat might
1 be “reserved for strangers!”
Third Congressional District.
In yesterday’s paper we copied an article
from the Columbus Times in which its aid was
promised to the Democratic party in the ap
proaching Congressional election in this Dis
trict. AVe are rejoiced to welcome to our ranks
an ally so gallant and able, and with such help
we are inspired with fresh courage that the
democratic banner wi 11 be bravely borne through
the contest, and in the adcs of October will be
erowned with victory!
In this matter wc are with our cotemporary
“hand and glove;” for, while we admire Capt.
Hardeman’s social traits—acknowledge his
talents—and feel glad to count him among
our friendo, yet we cannot without lossot self
respect and dereliction to duty, sacrifice party
principles to personal considerations.
AVe therefore quote and endorse the senti
ments of the Times, that, to the extent of our
humble ability,
“ AV’e pronise to give Mr. Hardeman a man
ly, open, determined opposition, resorting to
nothing that would wound his delicate sensi
bilities ; but. believing that the Democratic
flag, under sn active leader, can be hoisted
above the factions and light up the path to a
glorious and triumphant victory.”

that of—
No. 17.
Nathaniel Sledge, In error
vs. from
Peter McLarren. Muscogee.
This was an action for the wrongful suing out an
attachment by Dtft. in error against Pl’ff., and was
upon the bond given by Pl’ff. in attachment under
the statute and which attachment had been dismissed.
The Court below charged the Jury “that in order to
maintain this action the attachment must have been
> led out maliciously and without probable cause,
iiL-1 that the ouuff profrandt as to want of probable
cause” was upon the Pl’ff.
Held by the Court, that there was no error in this
, 'h’”*j?“. «n,i further, if there had been error in the
charge, inasmuch as the jury had found stout) dam
ages for Pl’ff.—and thereby finding the want of prob
able cause or otherwise disregarding the charge,
the Court would not grant’a new trial for an errone
ous charge that had not injured the Pl’ff., no motion
for a new trial having been made.
Judgment affirmed.

AVe learn from Henderson & Co's Express that
the brig Sampson, Capt. Emery, of South
Thomaston. Me., arrived at Rockland on the
20th ultimo, from the coast of Africa, and re
ported that she was chartered at Havana by
two Spaniards to proceed to New York, and
from there to the coast of Africa. After be
ing out about two months, Capt. Emery, from
movements of the Spaniards, and reports from
some of the crew, that their chests contained
handcuffs and firearms, had his suspicious
aroused that the Spaniards’ object was to pro
cure a cargo of negroes. Shortly after arriv
ing on the coast, an English trigate came in,
and the Spaniards left the brig at the earliest
possible moment. Cap*. Emery immediately
made known the facts to the frigate, and lay
by her until after dark, when he got under
way with but three men on board, and arrived
at Rockland as before stated.
The simplicity of Capt. Emery, taking this
statement to be true, is quite refreshing. AVhy
lie went to the coast of Africa, when he was
chartered to proceed to New York, requires
some explanation to add a color of plausibility
to the story. — Boston Journal, July 1.

The wife of the Hon. Edward Ever

The AVestern justices and the Dutch
justices have been in the Drawer often. AVe
are now to introduce one of these gentlemen
from the State of A’ermont:
Judge C , of Vermont, was fond of a
joke when it could be “done” without special
injury to public or individual rights. On one
occasion, ns he was traveling towards the south-
I ern part of the State to hold a term of Court in
! thecountyof AV ,he came to inpul lie house,
| where a Justice’s Court was in session. As it
was late, and the weather cold and wet, he
concluded to put up for the night. Sending
his horse to the stable, he entered the bar-room,
which he found crowded with people, who
seemed greatly exeited about the case on trial.
He had thrown off his outer garments, and was
composing himself before a good old-fashioned
blazing fire, when a young man came up to
him, and, bowing respectfully, asked his as
sistance in the case.
“ The evidence,” said he, “is all agin me ;
but they say yer honor is death on des peril ca
ses, and mine ain’t so bad as it might be, arter i
all.”
Upon inquiry, the Judge learned that his ap- ‘
plicaut had been arrested for wantonly upset- 1
ting a churn of sap in his neighbor’s sugar-lot.
The youngster hud been caught in the very act
by two respectable witnesses ; and thus tlieev- 1
ideuce was, as lie said, “clear agin him.”
After hearing all the facts, the Judge inform- j
ed him that it was really a desperate case; but
he added, “I will watch the progress of the tri- i
al. and if nn opportunity presents itself I will
help you ” Accordingly, he threw opena door
leading from his apartment to the room where j
the trial was going un, and sat n careless spec
tator of the proceedings. The counsel for the ,
State put in his testimony, and proved the
charge conclusively. Thereupon the magis- I
trate turned toward the respondent, and, with ;
a stern voice, asked him if he had "got any ;
thi»s O' BB y 1,1 1111 lu,[l “ *—“ I
ny The prisoner was dumb, but looked im- ,
ploringly toward the Judge, who nt once arose, ;
and approached the table at which the Justice
was sitting.
“Ye needn’t think ye can do any kinder good
here ; for the mind of this ’ere Court is etur
nally made up about this consarn, that I can i
tell ye, mister.”
“May it please your Honor,” said the Judge,
bowing very gracefully, “it is no doubt true
that the charge made against the respondent is j
fully sustained by the testimony. Ido not de
ny it: but, for all that, ho has u defense.”
“A defense! AVhat on airth cun it be?”
growled the Court.
“ And, your Honor, it is this: I profess to
know a little about law, having practised in
that profession more than thirty years past, .
especially the statute laws of Vermont. Now.
your Honor, I may be mistaken, but I am eon- I
fldent there is nothing in the statutes of A er
niont against upsetting either an empty churn
or a churn full of sap. I beg the Court not to
r«ly upon my word ; but if yonr Honor is not
satisfied upon this point, I would recommend
an examination of tiie statues.”
The counsel for the State arose to reply.
“Stop ! stop!” vociferated the Court : “this ,
pint must be settled before we move another ,
inch.” And thereupon, seizing the statute- :
book and turning to the index, he began search- I
ing under the letter C for the word Churn.— ;
Not finding it. he next looked under S for Sa]i. 1
Not finding "Sap,” he continued his search un- 1
der the letter I for Cpsettiny. Still unsuccess- !
ful, he looked under the title of ‘‘Crimes and |
Misdemeanors.” Finally, he rumaged the book
from beginning to end, and tindingit silent up
on the subject of “upsetting churns,” he laid
aside the book, and addressing the prisoner,
said:
“Young man, this ’ere Court is satisfied that
there ain’t nothin' in the laws of A’ermont rgin
tipping over a churn full of sap. There ain’t
nothin’ about churns any way —nor sap nuth- I
er. But I want ye should remember one thing, '
that this ere Court has made up his mind that j
it's a very naughty trick, and it’s a shame that j
there's so many maple trees in the State, and (
no law agin tipplin’ overthe sap.” AVhereup- 1
on the prisoner was released.— Harper's Month- I
ly Magazine.
A Million of Buffalo.—Horace Greely,
writing from the Plains, makes the following
estimate of the number of buffalo:
AVhat strikes the stranger with most amaze
ment, is their immense numbers. I know a
million is a great many, but I am confident
we saw that number yesterday. Certainly all
we saw could not have stood on ten square
miles of ground. Often, the country for miles,
on either band, seemed quite black with them.
The soil is rich, end well matted with their
fair, favorite grass. Y'et it is nil (except a
very little on the creek bottoms, near to tim
ber,) eaten down, like an over-taxed sheep
pasture in a dry August. Consider that wc
have traversed more than one hundred miles
in width, since we first struck them, and that
they continue for some twenty-live miles far- .
ther on—this being the breadth of their pres
ent range, which has a length of perhaps a
thousand miles, and you have some approach
to an idea of their countless millions. I doubt
whether the domesticated horned cattle of the
United States equal the numbers, while they ■
must full considerably short in weight of these ,
wild ones.
Clerical Anecdotes.—The San Jose Tri
bune (California) tells this anecdote of a recent
O enrrencc over that way:
Rev. Moses Clampit, an eccentric preacher,
was holding forth in Santa Clare A’alloy ; a'
young man rose to go out. w hen the pieicher
said: “Young man, if you’d rather go to hell I
than hear me preach, you may go!” The sin- ,
ner stopped and reflected a moment, and then
saying respectfully, “Well, Ibeliere 1 would," j
went on.
This has point, but we think another, for
warded to us lately by n friend from Minneso
ta, rather caps it. A minister, noted for com
bining the somewhat incongruous professions

greg.-itmn, “ilon’t do it! Ihe old sinner gets
five per cent a mouth now-; und that's enough, |
the laird knows!” —A'. O. J‘i<‘.

An Elopement and a Fight
ABOUT IT.
New Orleans, June 18.—A young man of
this city, a civil engineer by profession, ran
I awny with a Mobile belle a few days ago, and
thereby got himself into a scrape which came
near causing bloodshed yesterday evening.
It appears that the young man's family, al
though of the highest respectability, is far be-
I hind that of the young lady in the item of this
j world’s goods, and hence her male relatives
regarded the intimacy of the loving pair
i (which has been of long standing) with grent
disfavor. Her two brothers informed Mr. P.
i that he must discontinue his visits, and warned
l Inm that any overt act which should compro
i niise their sister could be atoned for only with
1 his life. z
This threat was probably instigated by a
! lurking suspicion of a contemplated elopement.
Mr. P. is one of those young men who are
rendered more determined and obstinate by
resistance, and who become more sanguine of
success exactly in proportion to the number
and amount of obstacles thrust in their way.
He laughed and snapped his fingers at the fire
eating intimations of his proposed brothers
in-law, and induces! his well-beloved to pack
up her tilings in a bundle and meet him on
board the mail boat for New Orleans, which
departs at 2 p. m. '
She managed the affair cunningly, and they
were well on their way to New Orleans by the
time she was missed at home. The boat which
leaves Mobile at 2 p. in. arrives, usually, at the
lake end of the Pontchartrain Railroad next
morning at daybreak, and no pursuit, there
fore, could be made with any hopes of over
taking the runaways under 48 hours from the
time they had started.
fhov —A -4? *L.I
one very important consideration. The lady
was not 18 years old, and therefore could not
get, in New Orleans, a license to marry with
out the consent of her parent or guardian.—
Tiiis momentous fact was not ascertained until
every other preparation for a hasty wedding
had been made, and it gave her bloody-minded
brothers time to appear upon the scene.
They came, and immediately commenced an
inspection of the hotel registers; but there
they were at fault, for our candidate for mat
rimony had plenty of relatives and friends
here, and had taken his bride elect to the res
idence of one of them.
Yesterday evening, however, he happened
unluckily to meet the vengeful brothers in a
I>ar room, fa place where he had no business to
be,) and they immediately drew their pistols
and commenced firing upon him. Fortunate
ly, a bold fellow who was standing by seized
and disarmed one of them after he had tired
the first shot, and Mr. P.. who was uninjured,
had the other by the throat in an instant, and
began to beat a tattoo against the counter with
his head, exclaiming, “You d d puppy,”
(not very complimentary to the family with
which he proposed an alliance,) “if you were
not my brother-in-law, I'd wring your worth
less neck for you!”
The young men, greatly discomfitted and
chopfallen, left tjiie bar-room without their
pistols, and I learned from a confidante of the I
bridegroom that he left in company with the
lady of his love at an early hour this morning
on the Jackson Railroad, for some town in the
interior of Mississippi, where they have prob
ably become man and wife by this time.—
Whether the brothers have concluded to let i
the matter drop, or are still determined to
push it to a bloody issue, I do not know’.
The Austrian Fortresses.—We find in the
Washington Intelligencer the following clear
account of the famous quadrangle, into which
the Austrians have retired :
“Mantua lies in a little lake (seven miles
long and one in breadth) formed by the river
Mincio. The fortress is connected with the
land by two long and narrow dams. On the
north side the country is covered with reeds,
which reach to the foot of the citadel. The
south and west sides are protected by marshes,
which may’ easily be set under water. The
outworks are strong. A little flotilla covers
the lake. Even with the most mediocre de
fence the fortress could only be famished into
surrender.
“Yerona extends over either bank of the
Adige, and is surrounded by a line of strong
forts, which change it into a great fortified j
camp, capable of holding from 50,(MM) to 70.- '
000 men. Fourteen miles in advance of Ve- I
rona, towards the Allies, lies a third fortress, i
Peschiera, a kind of outwork of Yerona, al- |
though by no means essential to its defence.— j
It covers the right flank of the Austrians at
Mantua, and helps to protect the defile of the I
Adige. The distance of Peschiera from Man- |
tua is 21 miles ; of Verona from Mantua about I
23 miles. There is still a fourth fortress, form
ing a similar outwork of Mantua and Verona I
against the Adriatic, Legnano, on the bend of
the Adige.
“ Os the two principal fortresses Mantua is 1
the stronger one. Peschiera is stragetically |
the more important. Mantua and Peschiera
defend the river Mincio; Verona is for both
the central point, while blocking at the same :
time the valley of the Adige as it leads up the
Tyrolese Alps. Mantua and Peschiera alone
would not prevent the enemy from passing the '
Mincio; but with Verona in their back the
enemy is obliged to spend his whole force on
the seige of cither fortress, which having fal
len, Verona remains as strong us ever. The
Austrian army, then, by making its stand, as
undoubtedly it will do, and did in 1829, nt
Verona, obliges the Allies to enter upon a dif
ficult ami long siege, which will by no means
lie second to that of Sebastopol. If sticces
ful, it will be ut an enormous sacrifice.”

Punishment for Crime in North
CAROLINA.
A correspondent of the New Haven Regis
ter, gives us some insight into the manner in
which criminals and delinquents are punished
’ in the “Old North State.” He writes:
The administration of justice in North Caro
lina is less mild than in many of her sister
States. Having no State Prison, the old pun
ishments of the English common law are still
inflicted—such as branding, whipping, crop
ping the ears, &c.
On a beautiful May morning I strolled into
the temple where the goddess of the sword,
and the scales, and the bandaged eyes is sup
posed to preside. Tn one of the passages I en
countered the high sheriff of the county, car
rying a tinker’s furnace in one hand, and what
seemed to me a soldering iron in the other.
On inquiring whoso “gude wife’s” pans he
was going to mend, he informed me that he
was going to brand a man who had just been
convicted of bigamy. A curiosity which I was
ashamed of, but could not resist, led me into
the room. I found it crowded.
In a few minutes the judge entered, and,
taking his seat upon the bench, with his hat
on, (judges here sit covered.) ordered the crier
to open the cort. That important functionary
then stepped to an open window, put out his
bend, and “ Oh, yes-ed” three times, and the
“ Honorable the Superiour Court” was opened
in due form. The prisoner was then brought
in by the sheriff and an assistant, whereupon
his counsel moved for a new trial, on the
ground that the defendant had been unable to
procure the attendance of all his witnesses.
His honor inquired if he could give the requi
site security. On being answered in the nega
tive, “Then,” said bis honor, “let the sen
tence of the court be executed forthwith.”
The sheriff and his deputy then blindfolded
the prisoner, tied his hands, and bound his
head firmly to the bar.
the sheriff applied it red hot to tfie cheek of
the bigamist, burning a plain letter B, an inch
and a half long, and nearly half an inch deep.
The prisoner was then remanded to jail, where
his head and hands were introduced into the
pillory, and “ forty stripes save one,” were
applied to his bare back, after which he was
discharged.
Every jail in North Carolina is provided
with a whipping post, stocks, and pillory.
Murder, rape, arson, burglary, and all the
higher crimes and misdemeanors are punished
with death; manslaughter by branding the
letter M in the right hand. The convict's
hand is bound, the bar and the branding iron
held upon the palm until he can say “God
save the State” three times. Theft, and mi
nor offences by whipping, standing in the pil
lory, or sitting in the stocks.

SECOND dispatch.
No movements of the contending armies are
reported to have taken place since the battle
of the 24th June.
The details of the last battle have not been
received, nor any estimate of the losses.
The Austrians and Sardinians admit that
their losses have been very great.
Napoleon says, in a dispatch to Paris, that
lie took six thousand prisoners, three flags, anil
thirty cannons.
The Austrians had recrossed the Mincio.
Gen. Hess had been appointed coramanner
in chief.
The latest news from the army states that
the French had crossed the Mincio.
Strange Tribes of Indians.—An engineer
connected with the Tehuantepec surveying pa r
ty, states that in running his lines across the
mountains, between Manatitlan and Tehuen-
I tepee, he came across Indians who had never
! seen a white man in their lives, who spoke no
I language known to his party, and were abso
lute “ free lovers,”, living all together, and
twenty or thirty men and women sleeping in
one bed, and acknowledging a community of
wives and properties.
In another place he jiassed through a v illage
where the Indians had light hair, fair complex
ion, and blue eyes: and yet another town,
where all the inhabitants were lepers, cover
ed with that detestable plague. Such are h
few of the human wonders to he seared up in
this section, anil we only need a few trappers
from among the Rocky Mountains to develop
as great natural curiosities.
A wan who had been delivered by the graije of
God and the arrow of death from a termagent wife,
placed over her remains this epitaph :
“Stranger, lightly tread.
For God’s sake let her lie,
We live in peace since she is dead,
liut hell is in a fry."
Naturalized Citizens in Trouble..—The
New Orleans Crescent saya Stanislaus Dein

employed in a commercial house in this citv
but lately engaged in horse trading in Mexico,
returned to bis native country recently to seo
his parents and bring them over to this coun
try. He had scarcely reached his native vrl
luge, when he was arrested and required to do
military duty iu- an Austrian subject. He
pleaded that ho was a citizen of the United
States, (hav iug been for some time naturaliz
ed,) ami wm laughed ut. He nas required to
