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. CDTHBKlfT. 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:— Bayou Plaque.nune,—This year we have 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 Letter from lion. Jefferson In response to a letter from Mnj.

In the I steamers, instead of an American and. a Cun- 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. Noah’s Ark as a Model Ship.—Wc ob- -'■nre in that admirable work bjr Frank B. Goodrich, recently publish by Lippincott & Co., n very curious passage, in which tho nn- ihor states that the Ark, the first and largest ship ever built, had precisely the same pro- portionsaa the steamers of onr own day. Its dimensions were three hundred cubits, by fif- 'y. by thirty; Thoei of several of the fleetest Atlantic mail steamers are three hundred feet in length, fifty hi breadth of beam, and twen- ty-eight and a half in depth. They have, bke the Ark, upper, lower, and middle sto- ries.

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 ence here, to join the Emperor in endeavor ing to draw together as closely as possible the ties of friendship which exist between the two nations. That friendship has their mutual prosperity for its basis, and the blessing of heaven will not be wantiug_to confirm _ 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. gypiinu Mummy Hags in a Van- KEE PAPER MILL. A correspondent of the Journal of Com merce, writing of the paper mills at Gardiner, Me., says; Yesterday I visited in company with May or Woods, (of Gardiner,) the two principal paper factories, and I was astonished in look ing at the millions of pounds of rags piled up in warehouses or spread over acres of ground, to find that a portion of them had recently ar 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 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, dry and gray, when asked, “What has changed you so?” will reply, professor 44 oon’s Hair Restora tive.

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. B.

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.
