T„ tiik Editor :
As the conductor of a public Journal, devoted to
,hc public interest, it may not be disagreeable to
you to learn that your suggestions in the Telegraph
ol last week in relation to the reformation of our
Judiciary system, meet with the approbation of at
least oue of your subscribers. Let the appoint
ment of our Judicial officers bo given to the Gov
ernor, subject, ns you propose, to the confirmation
of the Senate, and the Judiciary of Georgia will no
longer lag behind that of her sister States. Under
the present system, men arc selected for these pf-
fices frequently without reference to their qualifica
tions, and as a reward simply for partizan services.
The question is not—is he qualified—will ho make
, good Judge? but is lie popular—can lie secure
the party vote ? It is this miserable party scram
ble lor power, and party majorities that has low
ered the standing of the Bench in Georgia. Put
the selection of die Judges in the hands of the
Governor and Senate, and men will be selected
sitb reference alone to their qualifications, end the
Judges will bo independent in the discharge of their
Attics, and administer the law with an impartial
hind. No reflections are hereby intended to be
cost on any incumbent of the Bench. We all know,
however, that under the present system they cannot
net with entire independence.
There is one other step I would be pleased to
, v you take, and that is, until your plan is adopted,
c one out against Judicial nominations. We want
i,. mere /mii-ty candidate for the licuch.

The Mississippi Overflows.
It will be seen that n Convention of land
holders ou the Mississippi has been called to de.
rise a more perfect system of protection from
river overflows. Opinion in that region is said
to be widely variant as to the cause of the mis
chief and the remedy: for while one party
c intends that the obstruction of tho natural
outlets has compressed tho volume of the liver
too much and brought it to bear with too great
a force on the levees, another say thatthccon-
gt mi tendency of the stream to widcu its banks
has greatly dimininished the average farce of
th: current, and the bed of the river has, in
consequence become obstructed with sandbars,
au J that the unusual overflowanre really attrib
utable to these obstructions. One party there
fore recommends the opening of all the outlets,
to increase the facility for discharge,—the other
contends that they should be closed in order
to increase the current aud by that means
deepen the main main channels. In support
of the latter theory, we copy below an article
from (he Planter’s Banner which also shows
the immense magnitude of the interests in
volved in the determination of tho question:—

uncommonly high water, and it has tried the
Til© Collision between the Arabia
AND TIIE EUROPA.
A gentleman who was a passenger on the
■township Arabia lias furnished an interesting
account of the collision with the steamship Eu
rope on the night of the 14th inst.
. He states that at 11 o’clock, when the colli
sion occurred, most of the passengers had re
tired to rest. All the ladies had retired some
time before. A few gentlemen were on tho
hurricane deck, aud ahaif-dozen were seated
in the saloon,engaged in conversation. Strange
ly enough, the theme of their remarks was cour
age exhibited by persons of different tempera
ments aad mental peculiarities in times of great
danger. Individual instances of courage and
fear were cited in illustration of opinions ex
pressed.
In the midst of tbc conversation a loud crash
was heard forward, not unlike a clap of thun
der and this was followed by a grinding sound,
as of the vessel. The crash startled every
body, and the discussion on physical courage
was, by tacit agreement, postponed indefini
tely. Passengers rushed out of their state
rooms in the wildest excitement; several fain
ted, and hardly any ou board failed to betray
signs of deep emation. Our informant had a
lady in his care and the first object was to se
cure information as to the nature and extent of
the damage. His impression was that they had
struck au iceberg, several of which they had
seen the day previous.' Going forward, he as
certained that the starboardbow of the Arabia
Iiad come in collision with the port bow of the
Europa. and learning that there was no im
mediate danger, lie went below and stated the
fact.
According to the usual custom of steamers
in mectiug one another, the helm of the Enro-
pa, ou observing the Arabia’s lights, was put
hard aport; the officer of the Arabia discover
ed the Europe's lights, when he saw tha 1 ; if he
ported his helm the Arabia would inevitably
strike tho Europa amidships. He, therefore,
gave the order to put the helm bard a starboard,
which threw her bows around, and thus pre
vented a collision,which otherwise, would prob
ably have been fatal to one if not both vessels.
Captain Stone at once dispatched a boat to as
certain tho extent of the damage snstained by
the Europa. Tho Captain of the Europa re
quested that the Arabia stay by and keep her
company into St. John’s Newfoundland.
Captain Stone came into the saloon, stated
the facts to the passengers, and informed
them of his intention to comply with the re
quest of tho Captain of the Europa. But the
Arabia had hardly got under way when the
engineer discovered that the machinery had
been damaged, aud he was compelled to stop
the engines. An examination discovered that
the plummer-block of the starboard wheel had
been broken when the two steamers swung
broadside to, and that before they could pro
ceed further the engine must be disconnected
witli the starboard wheel. This caused a de
lay of twelve hours. and in the meantime the
Europa had proceeded on her way to St. John’s
and as she had probably reached there, Capt.
Stone concluded to continue his course to New
York with tho port wheel.
From the appearance of the Arabia, says
the Tribune, wo should Judge that she must
have, been run into by the Europa. Her cut
water is smashed, stem started, and starboard
trailboard gone, This, with the exception of
a little damage to the rail, and a slight chaf
ing of the copper, is all the injury that is visi
ble forward. The stem of the Europa appears
to have glanced along the Arabia’s bow, cau
sing her to heel over to port somewhat, and
then, before she righted, the Europa swung
around so as to bring her port paddle-box
guards agaiust the Arabia’s starboard paddle-
box, smashing up her heavy oaken guards,
and knocking the pillow-block out of place.
The repairs to the Arabia will be completed
in time to allow her to sail on her regular day
A portion of the Arabia's passengers, after
much solicitation, it is said, have publithed a
cord, acquitting the Arabia’s officers of blame,
because of the collision. The majority of the
passengers refused to sign the card, and there
was much controversy among them about it.
The collision was certainly one of the most
alarming ever had—with an escape so close
—aud, luckily, it was between two Cunard

lower part of the river, from Baton Rouge to
New Orleans, in spaces where the most water
was confined between its banks, the levees
Hood the best. Plaqueminc took off more
waterthan it ever did before and the Lafourche
did the same; and yet below the Lafourche
two immense crevasses occurred which they
unable to stop; and another occurred on the
opposite side of the river from Donnldsonvillc
which they succeeded iu stopping. And when
these two bayous and two crevasses were de
picting the Mississippi of immense quantities
of water, the levee below the Bell crevasse was
more severely pressed than the levees above
Plnqucmine thnt contained between them the
entire water of the whole river below, and al-
-o that of two bayous, and two crevasses to
which wc have refcrred^^^^^^^^^^H
It is claimed, and we think justly, too, that
when a bayou or a crevasse depletes the Mis
sissippi a bar is always formed below the mouth
of that outlet that checks the current so that
the levees below are as hard pressed as they
would be without the outlet; and that in por-
portion ns the current is checked in any part
of (he liver sediment is depositcd. and bars
are formed. Upon this principle it is claimed
that if a half or two-thirds of the Mississippi
river were turned in through Bayou Plaquc-
miue, Attaknpas, tho whole of tho river from
that point to the Balize would be a succession
of burs nnd sand flats, aud tho navigation of
I he river would be entirely ruined.
The whole question of outlets end levees is
lately assuming an importance sneb as it never
had before. An immense sheet of sugar and
cotton plantations lino both bnpks pf this migh
ty river—New Orleans, with its immense
wealth nnd interest, sits upon its eastern bank
and the question is iu proportion to the in
crease! wealth upon its banks, and also in the
hack sections of country that would.be aflected
hv an overflow. And its importance is increased
‘till more by the crisis which is rapidly ap
proaching at Bayou Plaqueminc itself, which
threatens almost the entire destruction of the
fthole Attakapas country, at the same time
that it will entirely destroy New Orleans by
destroying its navigation.
So far as we can discover, the high waters
of this season have furnished a strong argu
ment against the outlet system, and in favor
of closing them all up. They produce the
very state of things which all want to remedy.
They cause the bed of the river to fill up with
‘and flats and bars, .which nothing but a heavy
body of water and a rapid current will clear
out.' The river wants n channel of one immense
pacity in depth more than in width, as ac
tual invesligatioQs havc plainly proved, and it
will iii .vnys make room for itself if confined be
tweeu its banks by high and strong levees, nnd
not allowed to spread out and waste its strength
out side of its banks.

Fire at Cincinnati.—Terrible De* 1
Tft CCTION OF CATTLE- SHOCKING SCENES.
The dairy stables of William Hogan, at Cin
cinnati, were destroyed by fire on Tuesday
night, with sixty-six cows, five calves, three
horses, one mule, ten or fifteen tons of oat
sheaves, four hundred bushels of corn, and
three hundred bqshels of oats, involving a loss
of $7,000, and no insurance. The Commer
cial says:
“Mr. Hogan describes the scene in the sta
bles in the midst of the conflagration, as most
piteously aud indescribably harrowing. The
live stock were all tied in their stalls. The
horses and mules were haltered in their usual
manner, and the cows were bound around their
iiorns. When the flames fitst commenced
their ravages, the poor animals snorted and
bellowed with hideous and frantic force. As
the heat increased and the fierce fires began
to lick and scorch their quivering flesh, their
cries and groans and furious struggles be
came agonizing. Some threw themselves head
long upon the floor or leaped upright at full
length with frenzied energy, and vented their
agony in fearful screams. Tho horses broke
from their halters and dashed through the con
suming blaze in desperate dismay. The tor
tured and sufi'oeating cows tore away their
horns and rushed through the blazing piles,
and encountered each other in destructive col
lision, their flesh broiling and crackling in the
heat with sickening effect upon the senses of
human beings who gazed horror-stricken up
on the wretched scene of suffering, without
power to mitigate the agony of the tortured
brutes. The yells and despairing cries of the
different classes of animals commingled in hor
rid concert, and broke through the roar cf
flames and crackling timbers upon the still
night air, and was borne away in terrifying
choes to the ears of persons two miles distant
from the dreadful scene.
Two or three horses and as many cows
plunged through the flames and burst in wild
affright through the sides of the consuming
structure, and fell headlong, whining with
misery, upon the ground outside, sprang fl
eam to their feet and sped with frenzied fury
across the fields until they dropped lifeless
from sheer exhaustion. Some rolled upon the
floor of the stable, screaming withunmitignblc
pain, until suffocated and destroyed by the
fierce heat. Their contortions, their awful
wails of distress, infinitely more piteous and
harrowing than those of human beings in the
dire extremity of torture, arc described by
those who gazed spell-bound upon the ter
rible spectacle, as surpassing the power of hu
man imagination to conceive. Happily the
n"ony of the poor brutes was not prolong
ed. The timber composing the stables burn
ed like tinder, and the hay and oats-straw,
some forty tons, blazed and perished in fierce
beat like lucifer matches. But the flesh of the
carcasses quivered and blazed and broiled all
night long, and filled the atmosphere with a
sickening effluvia.
Singular Discovery.
A recent number of the English Court Jour
nal publishes the following: .. . .
A most extraordinary discovery, which for
obvious reasons is sought to be kept a profound
secret, has taken place in an old rural house
at Iriel. An immense chest, full ofqgold and
silver coins of English stamp, lias been found
concealed in one of tho cellars, where it had
been carefully walled up. From the papers
aud documents, likewise contained in the chest,
it has become evident thnt the house was once
inhabited by Bolingbroke, who inusthayelam
concealed hero during the period wherein his
whereabouts has always remained a puzzle to
historians. In 011c of his letters lie men
tions that “ his retreat is convenient to the
Seine,” and the house in question n found to
nosscaa a subterranean passage leading down
Jo the water’s edge. This money is evidently
the result of the subscription raised by the jnur-
... ,,f the Pretender, for the want oi which the
latter was prevented from striking a decisive
blow.
royal family of England, made a speech, in
which he expressed tbc sentiments by which
he said he was actuated upon this occasion of
the Queen’s visit to Cherbourg. The facts,
he said, do indeed speak for themselves, aud
prove that the hostile passions which were ex
cited by some unfortnuate incidents have nev
er been able to alter the friendship which ex
its between the two countries, or of the desire
of the people to remain at peace. I have,
therefore, found hope that if any attempt were
made to revive again the rancors of a former
period, such attempt would be foiled with the
good sense of the public, as the waves are baf
fled by yonder break-water, which, at this
moment,' serves to protect the squadrons of
both empires against the violence of tbc sea.
The Prince Consort, on behalf of her Maj
esty, responded to the toast, iu doing which
he said: “The Queen is most sensible of the
words we have just heard, and which will for
ever be dear to her. The Queen is doubly
happy in having the opportunity, by her pres

ties of friendship which exist between the two
nations. That friendship has their mutual
prosperity for its basis, and the blessing of

Tlie Atlantic Telegraph Cable.
The central conducting wire is a strand made
up of seven wires of the purest copper, of the
guage known iu the trade as No. 22.—The
strand itself is about the sixteenth of an inch
in diameter, and is formed of one straightiy
drawn wire, with six others twisted round it;
this was accomplished by the central wire be
ing dragged from a dram through a hole in a
horizontal table, while the table itself revolv
ed rapidly under the impulse of steam, carry
ing near its circumference six re Ms or drums,
each armed with copper wire. Every drum
revolved upon its own horizontal axis, aud so
delivered its wire as it turned. This twisted
form of conducting wire was first adopted for
the rope laid across the St. Lawrence in 1856,
nnd was employed with a view to the reduc
tion tc the lowest possible amount of the chance
of continuity being destroyed in the circuit.
It is improbable in the highest degree that a
fracture could he accidcntljr produced at pre
cisely the same spot iu more than one of tbc
wires of this twisted strand. All the seven
wires might be broken in different parts of
the strand, even some hundreds of times, and
yet its capacity for the transmission of the
electric current not be destroyed or reduced
in any inconvenient degree. The copper used
in the formation of these wires is assayed from
time to time daring the manufacture, to insure
absolute homogeneity and purity. The strand
itself, when subject to strain, will stretch
twenty per cent, of its length without giving
way, and, indeed, without having its electrici
ty conducting power much modified or im
paired.

rived from Alexandria in Egypt. They were
the most disagreeably odoriferous old clothes
that I have ever had the bad fortune to smell.
This, doubtless, was owing to the fact that a
part of them were in a damaged state. The
Egyptian rags had been collected from all the
corners of the Pacha’s dominions—from the
living and the dead. How many cast off gar
ments of Howadjis and Hadjis; how many
tons of big, loose, Turkish, ragged breeches ;
and how many headpieces in the shape of old
doffed turbans the deponent sayetb not. But
the most singular aud the cleanest division of
the whole filthy mass came not from the limbs
of the present generation of travellers—pil
grims, peasants, soldiers, and sailors of Egypt,
5ut were the plundered wrappings of men,
bulls, crocodiles and cats, torn from the res
pectable defunct members of the same. What

What Has Changed you so 7—Wo have all wit
nessed with astonishment the extraordinary nnd im
proved change in many a gentleman and laxly, who
had become prematurely gray, but who, by some
means, had been miraculously rejuvenated. There
is a time in life when gray hairs seem to harmonize
with tho furrowed brow and the wrinkled features,
but unfortunately, from somo cause or other, thou
sands of yonng men and women not only witness the
gradual change ot their locks to a “ mottled and
speckled gray,” but are mortified by the danger of
positive baldness from the actual loss of their hair.
All this demands a remedy, and a safe one. We nat
urally look about, and ask, in this age of scientific
invention who stands highest as the Proprietor and
Monujuccurer of areal hair restorer—a restorer of
color as well ns health, a beantifier as well as a, hair
tonic. We fiud at the head of all the claimants, in
this long line, a single individual. Any of the splen
did heads of hair aloDg Broadway, once falling out,

so?” will reply, professor 44 oon’s Hair Restora

Deer Don’t Shed Their Iiorns.
Mn. Editor A correspondent of the j
Georgia Educational Journal,” residing in I
Hyde County, N. C., answers the question, j
what becomes of the deer’s horns; by saying
that all deers on shedding their horns, bury ;
them. Now, it may be trnc that those that
shed their horns do' bury them. But the idea ;
that all male deer shed their horns is certain- t
ly a delusion. . . . j
Twenty years ago* in the portion ot Lsouisi*
na in which I resided^ deer were very nurn cr
us. Xearly every far in or owned at least one [
tame deer ; some owned half a dozen. I knew
.several instances of their living to the nqcof
ten years, and never know one to shed his
horns. I have conversed often|with old Ar
kansas hunters on this subject, jund 1 netei
DIED.
MARTHA B. HARRIS, second daughter of Mrs.
Martha Harris of Barnesville, Ga, died in this place
of Rheumatism of the heart, after an illness of two
weeks; aged 13 years and 2 months. Her suffer
ing was most intense; but with ohild-Iike meekness,
she bore it "in patience possessing her soul.” She
was a kind hearted, lovely child, good behaved,
sweet in temper, affectionate to her brothers and
sisters, and loving, obedient to her widowed mother.
Truth was her crowning virtue; the Bible, her
best loved book, and the Sabbath School; her high
ly prized pleasure. With this spotless life, in tho
bloom of youth, the Judge took her to himself, and
we trust, while her relations and friends mourn their
earthly loss, that Mattie (as au exchange for the af
fections of liie) has goue to tho rest of God’s dear
children. VY. T. READ.
MAJOR CARLTON WELLBORN, diodin Hous
ton county, Georgia, on the 18th August, 1859, in
his 73d year. Uis illness was protracted, but borne
patiently. He was born in Wilkes county, Ga.,—was
with General Jackson itt tho war of 1812, was
elected Surveyor General in 1820,—moved to Hous
ton county in 1828, and has Represented that county
in the Legislature more than onco.
He was a member of the M. E. Church for more
than 30 years, and class leader most of that time.
He was strictly an honest man, and a faithful Chris
tian.
Iu the death of this good man, the community lost
oue ofits best citizens—the church its leader. Ho
has left one child and four grand children and many
friends to monrn the loss of so good a man.

Koberls CUolic Mixture for Infant*.
The Proprietor in compounding this preparation,
had in view a remedy that would bo prompt to relieve
and at the same timo be followed by noue of those
after effects so injurious to tho health and constitu
tion of thousands of children throughout the whole
country. He was prompted to the preparation of this
article from meeting so frequently in his practice
those cases of disease which had theirriseand origin
solely from the much to bo lamented practice of con
tinually dosing with Paregoric, Laudanum and other
narcotic preparations, so frequently resorted to by
parents to relievo their children of the colic pains
and stomach aches to which they are so subject. Too
much caution in the exhibition of mediciue followed
by such deleterious effects, and oftentimes dLasin ns
consequences, cannot be used, and when remeoi
this class nro required, those only should bo sc.
which will be followed by no evil consequent'; —
This Mixture used according to directions will relieve
at onco, and it may bo exhibited without fear of auj
ill effects anting lrom its use. For sale by all Drug
gists. Price 25 cts.
