the long desired and inestimable privilege o*

although a schism characterized -by
great bitterness of feeling with sectional and

All should Tend, the article of Pi. Pow
ers in this week’s issue, setting forth the
merits of the Mulkey system of pnnup
•iation. We wcie one’lof Dr. Mulkey’a
class, and heartily recommend the system
he teaches. -Its rules are few, and capa
ble of such application, that to understand
the system.!*but the wort es a few-hours
each day for hardly two weeks. The an
omalous exceptions will be mostly found,
words whose pronunciation custom lias so
deci.dedly settled that there is no use of
huving a mle for them, nud upon'these
this system does not seek to innovate. .It
only contends, that where authority sup
ports different pronunciations of the same
word, law extracted from a careful study
of the language, should settle the dispute.
We recommend the Doctor to every one
wishing deliverance from the perplexities
of acquiring what, if it is not a solecism,
we may term, a correct orthoepy, and of
seeing order brought out of the confusion
produced by the conflicting views of differ
ent lexicographers.
We of his class feel, that we will miss
the Doctor keenly when his business calls
himavay, for in social intercourse he is
entertaining and instructive.’ lie is a
cousin of ours, but it is not from the influ
ence of relationship, that we say, we need
no assistance from his system to correctly
pronounce him an accomplished Rml virtu
ous gentleman, not at all fast, though dri
ving a very fast horse. Someone of the
ladies of Southwestern Georgia, of whom
he gives glowing accounts, will wo liopo
on his revisiting them, articulate to him
the little word, yes, with cheering orthoepy.
We suggests to him, that his system gives
no rule for sounding a better answer than
yes, which, though but onp .astonishingly
musical word, is in its nature necessarily
a duet, and in which unlike any other no
part ean be carried on by itself,, find for
the phoneticising cf this word, ho should
invent some inspiring labials. Wc mean
the word inspiring both in its literal and

Stephens and Toombs.
One of the most remarkable events of the
day is, that in consequence of the agitation of
a question of politics, these men, who have
been long so closely identified, have been put
at issue completely. It is not with indifference
oi pleasure, that wc can reflect upon the cir
cums'ance, of friends of such intimate connec
tion from boyhood probably, up through youth
and early manhood, so united by long and
constant intercourse with each other, that one
has become, as it were, the complement of the
other, being now in middle age rudely torn
apart by the angry dissensions of parties.—
Should confirmed political lead them to con

be aa memorable in the annals of America, as

(Jl.
Mr. Editor. —Deak Sir :—Dr. Mulkoy
is now in onr City teaching a system of
Orthoepy, which originated aome-Ahirty
years ago with his Father; and which has
been much piaised and highly approved
feyjhe,mpst learned .speakers and expe
rienced tgpcbersin this State. ‘
Among those who speak in commenda
tion ofitlie Mulkcty system, are to be found
the names of Dr. Sami., K. Talmage, thci
esidenb N os tho- Presbyterian College,
Oglethorpe University, Ref- J* WVReid,
the principal of ike Plulom.atlkian
tute, Tbos. Cobb Esq., of Athens Ga. imd
Col. Ben Hill: ’ ‘ ■ ;
Those who are well acquainted wltlil
this system of Orthoepy can bdt disap
prove of it, ns it has been more perfectly
-yslemized and rendered more practical
tlinn any other by the indefatigable effort!
i {if itv founder and the inimitable teachings
of his industrious Son.
This system methodically arranges the
words and the anomalies of the English
language; and fprnishes excellent -rules
to guide the oral instructor. By the as
sistance of Hicroglyphical and Ortlioepi
cal charts, the lecturer can impart rapidly
and correctly knowledge to his pupils, and’
also give practical demonstrations of the
truth and beauty of a system, which not
only teaches orthoepy, but, improves the
memory. These charts arc arranged so
as to tench the sounds of all the ’ letters,
their proper classifications, what should
be their various combinations and also the
rules for correct accentuation, syllabication,
and orthography of words.
This system teaches that the twenty-six
letters of the alphabet have forty one
souhds, lienee the same letter must repre
sent many different sounds, consequently
orthography is so involved that it becomes
“confusion confounded,” unless there are
rules by which these combinations may be
made and all their sounds asccrtainon-.
And these difficulties may be obviated by
teaching orally the sounds or phonetics of
the language ; the. accentuation and sylla
bication of words; the rules and exceptions
of orthography; a lift of those letters
which are. substituted for otlieis ; anil bfie
analytical classification of ‘ antiphoiiotic
words.
’ This system is not designed to> olhairtge
tho English language, to introduce j fiisV
w'ords, to alter its orthography’ or prentivn
ciation, but only to systetnize, to ajfford
rules to tench it in the best way, anK tt>
correct those errors which have previously
existed ; and to render the rules of or
thoepy subservient so those of orthography.
The understanding of these rules will ena
ble the orthoepist to distinguish in a mo
. merit the regular from the irregular, espe
cially when he sees the word in a dictiona
ry ‘accented,’druded into syllables, and the
necessary marks placed over the letters to.
indicate their sounds. .
This system, if properly taught, will
lessen the time-one-half which has hereto
fore been necessary to acquire a knowledge
of orthography and orthoepy. In the sys
tems heretofore introduced, tho arrange
ments es the Words have been immethodi
cal, and the proper rules for the guidance
of oral instructors have been omitted.
l)r. Mulkoy has two classes to ldch lie
is giving lessons. The first is composed of
the President, Rev. Homer Hondo*, the
Rev. R. A. Houston, and a number of
1 young ladies of tho Greenesboro Female
i College. To hear them recite the lessons
. taught by Dr. Mulkey is indeed a mental;
, treat. The exactness the truthfulness, tho
case, and cheerfulness which the young
ladies recite prove how well their minds
have heretofore been trained and h:iw
, readily the science of orthoepy can be ac
quired under the judicious instructions of
their teacher. The second class is;made
up of gentlemen, several of whom belong
to the learned professions, thoso acquire
* with much ease and great pleasure the
‘ sounds of the letters, classificntionffiSrt.,’
i which are taught twice daily by tke :

The Doctor is an impressive lecturer and
a good teacher. His style is after the

i accentuation is after the “Mulkey” style ;
i his enunciation is clear and distinct, and in

Any one who will listen to the Doctor,
must be convinced that his system is wor

that it shonld be now introduced into our
schools and colleges. So that we may
have a sure guido and not be for the future
dependent upon the ipso-dixit of any one

Horrible Accident—Death oi an JEro
naut.
; The tolegraph lias already announced
the frightful death of on mronaut named
Augustus M Connor by the collapse of
itiifl balloon in which he was. making an
Ascension from Palace Garden, New York,
on Thursday afternoon. The New York
papers furnish the following particulars of
the frightful catastrophe:,
’ ’The afternoon was - cloudy ami gusty,
ahd.tbe frnii fabric swayed so violently
. under the slight gale which sprung up
about 4 o’clock, that the fears of the spec
tators, some tlireo limidied and fifty in
number, were thoroughly a roused .and there
were.loud cries of “don’t go up,” “don’t go
up, “Irom all sides, and several personal
friends of the young mronaut also entreat
ed him to postpone the ascension, but lie
refused. His wile, who was present, was
quite anxious to accompany him, but he
calmly tola her, “my dear, you must wait
till the next time,”
Shortly before tithing bis place in the
car, his attention was called to a rent in
the balloon, when lie tied it up, with a
laughing expression that it might “cause
the balloon to burst and spill him out. - ’
All being in readiness, shortly after -1
o’clock he bid his wife an affectionate, adieu
and taking his place in the car, the ropes
were cut and the balloon darted upward,
when at that instant, it was struck by a
squall and lunged against the cornice of
the concert building near.
The wind subsiding, tlio balloon roso
above the high ornaments on the building
and then suddenly collapsed, and with its
basket and occupant instantly disappeared
from sight. A scene of Hie wildest coulu
sion now ensued, Mrs. Connor, and a female
relative who accompanied her, fainting and
falling helpl.ss upon the ground.
Loud shrieks rei t the air, both inside
and outside of the Garden, and the frantic
people rushed hither anil thither without
knowing why or wherefore. After much
confusion an officer succeeded ill gaining
the roof of the Qoncert Hall, where they,
found young Connor lying in an insensible
’condition, covered with the wreck cf his
baU‘>on. With great difficulty lie was
removed to the ball, and examined by a
pby'sican, who pronounced him injured
internally, and in such a manner as to
preclnde tlio possibility of his recovery.
Mr. Connor continued to sink very rapid
ly, and expired at 11 o’clock last night in
the arms ot his wife, llis injuries ’ were
of an internal nature, ami were received by
his striking against the ornaments outlie
building.
The balloon was torn into shreds, and
the ear badly broker.. The unfortunate
. young man bad brought a suit against J.
Wise, the asronaut, and had only left, the
court-house, where it was being tried, a
half hour before hie death. Previous to
leaving Court, lie remarked jokingly to the
defendant, “I’m going up to day, and I
guess you’ll be glad if 1 never come back,”
verifying the old adage “that there’s many
i true wffid spoken in jest.”
A Burniiiit Oath.
We proceeded to the Court of Justice,
where surrounded by attendants and suitors
Rat the judge, a fat, sinister hiking personage
heiiig disengaged, ordered the pa
kwdt who had to make the charge against
! the prisoner, to be sworn, whereupon, while
the Book of Imprecations was held ivor
his head, lie repeated the following for
midable oath : “I will speak the truth.
If I speak not the truth, may it be through
the influence of the laws of kenierit—
through passion, anger, folly, pride and
hard heartedness—so that when I and
iny relations are on land, tigers, elephants,
buffaloes, poisonous serpents, scorpions
shall seize and crush, and bite us that wo

Seized with madness, dumbnes-, blind

lightning, and come to, sudden death. In
the midst of but speaking truth, may I be
taken with vomiting clotted Jilack blood,
and suddenly die before the assembled
people. When lam going by water,
may the water spirits assault me, the
boat be upset, and the property lost; and
may the alligators, porpoises, sharks, or
other sea monsters, seize and crush me
to death ; and when I change worlds, may
I not arrive among men or spirits, but suf
fer umnixed punishment and regret in the
utmost wretchedness, among the four states
of punishment. If I speak the truth, may
I aq& my relations, through the influence
off the ten laws of merit, and on account
of efficacy ot truth, be freed from all cala
mities within and without the body ; and
may evils which have not jtet come he
warded far away. May the ten calamities
and five enemies also be kept far away.-r-
May the thunderbolts and lightning? the
Nat of the waters, all sea animals love me,
that I may be safe from them. May my
prosperity increase like the rising sun and
the waxing moon; and may the seven
possessions, the seven laws, and the seven
merits of the virtuous be prominent in my

not go to the four states of punishment, !
but attain happiness of men and Nats, ar.d |

Jumping off a Tram doing 25 JMiles
an Hour /—On Monday afternoon of last
week a prisoner in the charge of the sheriff
of Steuben county jumped from a train of
carson tho railroad above Avou and came
nearlosing bis life. Th© man was arrested
foi passing counterfeit money. When he
left Rochester the prisoner was handcuffed
but as he appealed to be quiet the irons
were removed from Ills wrists at Avon.
After the train had gone a few miles from j
.Avon,’and when it was under its usual
speed (say 25 miles an hour) the prisoner
took advantage ofhiscustodinn ran through
the rear car of the irain and leaped over
the railing to the ground. The bell-cord
was pulled liy the officer, the train stopped
as speedily as possible, and then backed
-to the spot where the fugitive was lying
upon the track. When he struck the
ground ho was thrown upon his back and
stunned by the fall. He was taken up
senseless, carried into the car / aud the
train went on. By the application of
restoratives, in a short time he became
conscious, but did not fully recover before
lie reached Corning. He certainly made
a desperate effort to regain iiis liberty and
one that, nearly cost him liis life.
The. prisoner who made this leap for
life was Duane Tassett, who was ai rested
in Murray, Orleans county, —Uochestcr

Cut ions Coincidence.-flu connection
with tlie Clay Statue, onr attention is
drawn to the singular coincidence of the
fate attending the statues of Messrs. Cal

statue, ordered for Charleston, was lost in
a shipwreck off Fire Island but finally
recovered with an arm broken, which was
subsequently rcplacrd by Mr Powers,
the sculptor The bronze statue of Mr.
Webster was lost and ncv< t r-coven and;
but a second waseast from the same model,
and is now in the Stale House yard at
Boston. The first model for the statue
of Mr. Clay was also lost at sea. The
coincidence is certainly remarkable.
Twenty-five of the thirty-three States
of the Union have furnaces for melting
iron, rolling mills or forges. Those that
have none, are Mississippi, Louisiana, Flor

Sir : I lake my pen lo tell you wtrnt yoor Sarsaps
, rills and Cathartic Pills have done lor me. I had
been afflicted with Liver Complaint for six years, du
ring which I was never well, and much of the time
very sick My liver was sore lo the touch, and the
Doctors said was congestion I suffered Iron, severs
‘costiveness afffl Diarrhoea ultimately. My skin was
claimin’ ami unhealthy; my eyes and *k n nfien rrl
low. Occasionally I had a voracious appetite, but
generally none al all. A dreadful .--ciieniii.ii of op
pression on mi stomach, wnli languor slid a gloon.v
seiisaiioo of sickness all over, kept me in anguish.—
Y iu cannot know i.ow much I suffered from an inde--
! scribable leeling of distress The long continuai-n-of
this condition, will.-.ui relief, hail orn’ me mil so
that 1 never expected lo be better ; but reading in the
Christian Advocate, of vr-ur Sarsaparilla, I com
menced taking it with urcasimiul en all doers of your
I Pills, lo r.-gulale the bowels as you direct. From.
the first it had more effect upon n.v disorder then
’ I supposed anything coul.l have. I regained my’
- henbh rapidly, and no.v after tbven weeks, enjoy ss>
good health and strength as any other man. May
the “Dispenser ot nil good” shower blessings nn you..
