RAIL ROAD—GOOD NEWS. *
We Have read a letter from Wiiey Wil
liams, Esq. one of the Commissioners ap
pointed to negotiate a loan on behalf of ‘ the
Rail Road and Banking Company. 5 The
letter was written at New York, and received
here on yesterday. It stated that a loan of
$300,Q00 had been obtained at 7 per cent.,
and the whole amount wanted could have
been . had on the same terms, but it was
thought advisable on the part of the Com
missioners to delay a negotiation for the re
mainder until fall, when in all probability the
money market will be easier, and the rale ol
interest lower.
One hundred thousand dollars of the pre
sent loan has been procured in gold and sil
ver, and will be brought on by Mr. Williams>
and placed in the vaults of the bank.
This is the way to do things. We wish
the enterprising Company great success.—
‘ Internal Improvements’ is our motto.
The St. Joseph Times is informed that we
will publish the article in reply to Mr. Nurse’s
letter in our next, it being unavoidably crowd

BATHS.
tt is really surprising that in a town like
this there should not be a public bathing
house. Some four years ago there was one,
and well do we remember the luxury which
We have-enjoyed in taking a warm bath of
a hot summer’s day—how it opened the
pores of the skin—cooled and refreshed the
system —and prepared it to endure the op
pressive heat of this climate. We are told,
by medical men, that frequent bathiftgs are
strongly conducive to health, and certainly
ihe delightful effects produced upon the sys
tem are sufficient inducements, and ample
compensation, for the trivial expense of the
operation.
Bathing is an ancient custom. In the
palmiest days of Grecian and Roman luxury
and greatness, their public leaders sought
fame and distinction*by the erection of public
baths; in truth, by acts and measures of this
sort, Ihe champion on the roll of fame could
entwine his brow with a more verdant wreath
than he could by military achievements and
conquests.
Did (he voluptuous princes of oriental
times lavish their treasures, and make an ele
gant and costly display of taste in the con
struction and furniture of their public baths,
it was because they duly appreciated the use
fulness and luxury of the indulgence.
We live in a country wliere the summers
re long and hot, and whose climate strongly
predisposes to bilious complaints; and we
speak for ourselves when we affirm our belief
that the wann bath, more especially, is at
tended with the most beneficial results to those
whose business compels tliem to pass the en
tire season here. Why, then, will not some
one build a bath house? It would doubtless
prove a profitable concern, and would afford
us one of the highest and most healthy enjoy
ments during a long season of burning heat,
and possibly much sickness.
The youthful and talented Miss Missouri,

by the unnatural persecution of her mother,

THE LOSS OF THE PULASKI. ‘
This affecting and awful catastrophe has
been so repeatedly published in various pa
pers since its occurrence, that we deem it
unnecessary to spread tire details on our pa
ges to-day. The express slips received at
our office daily, have been full of this most
melancholy and thrilling disaster, and a ma
jority of our citizens have been made acquaint
ed with the facts; so that we conceive a
simple recapitulation of the facts will suffice
for the present writing. On the 14th inst*
wlicn about thirty miles from land, off Wil
mington, N. C. the Pulaski burst her b'ilen
and in forty-four minutes thereafier she part
ed ir. the centre, and the stern part sunk,
while the wreck of the bow floated off, having
on board eighteen persons, who clung to this
favored portion of the unfortunate boat for
four days and five nights, when they were
rescued hv a schooner passing in that direc
tion, and safely carried on shore. There were
one hundred and eighty-seven souls on board
the Pulaski, at the time of her sinking, inclu
ding the crew; fifty-nine have since been
saved, making a total loss of one hundred and
twenty-six, a greater loss by twenty lives
than that sustained by the Home! Among
the missing we are pained to notice Mrs.
Britt and Miss Heald. Mrs. B. was the
wife of Capt. David Britt, one of our most
worthy and estimable citizens. His affliction
is severe and deep, and be is fully entitled to
what we are sure he has already received,
the sincere condolence of his neighbors and
fellow-citizens. : „ -•

SKETCHES, AD LIBITUM.
BY HORATIO WALDO, ESQ.
THE ILL-FATED PULASKI.
‘ Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean—roll 1
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain ;
Man marks the earth with ruin—his control
Stops with the shore ;—upon the watery plain
The wrecks are all thy deed nor doth remain
A shadow of man’s ravage, save his own,
When, for a moment, like a drop of rain,
He sinks into thy depths with bubblins groan,
Without a grave, unknell’d, uncoffin’d and unknown.’
Byron.
The sea has alternately rolled in solemn
grandeur, or slept in peaceful silence, since
the awful wreck of the Albion, or the fearful
sinking of the Home; and the rivers have
purled away quietly to the ocean, or ritshed
with terror and affright from their swelling
sources in the mountains, since the loss of the
Sherrod and the Moselle—and thousands
slumber in their watery graves, free fiom the
cares and turmoils of life, having their secure
repose in that dreamy ocean where the Peri
sleeps by the silvery moonlight, and where
reigns in supreme and eternal solemnity the
undisturbed silence of the dead ! Look we
down into the unfathomable depths of the
great world of waters, and how immense and
varied the multitude which meets our aston
ished view ! Countless, almost as ihe stars
ofbeaven, and themselves the beautiful sta
tues of the great deep, on which the first
blushing light of the bright sun of the morn
ing is reflected ; they are seen as it were sus-
pended between two worlds, reluctantly yield
ing their grasp on the one, while by the im
mutable taws of nature they are urged for
ward to the unwitnessed scenes of the other.
For. a while repose had reigned in the mir
rored chambers of the deep, and while the
great mower in the field of mortality had put
in his unrelenting scythe, and was sweeping
down his thousands of victims, the insatiate
grave seemed to claim the mass, and the dust
of the earth and the clod of the valley, had
apparently gained a triumph over the wave
of forgetfulness, and the green billow ofocean.
But heard you that sound, so like unto the
agonizing voice of terror itself! tearing, rend
ing and destroying as it went! The genius
and ingenuity of man. baffled by his careless
ness and neglect, had produced that tremen
dous conflict of power, which in its terrific
outbreaking, tore from under a crowd of
slumbering mortals those props of safety on
which they had rested with fatal security;
and down into the deep and noiseless sea of
the dead, plunged the unwarned throng, send
-1 ing out upon the heavy breeze of midnight,
their deep nd untold groans of agony and
despair! Oh ye who garner up in your
hearts the affections and endearments of
home—the sweet prattle of infant innocence
—the merry nnd jocund laugh of youth —the
approving smile and kind regard of age, how
gaze ye upon this picture of indescribable
gloom and horror, on the dark and awful
outlines of which, not a ray of light is seen to
glimmer! Parents and children, brothers and
sisters, husbands and wives, went down to
gether, with scarce a moment to exchange a
tear, or mingle a prayer!
4 The sea lo them was as a rolling bark
Which bore them to eternity ; they saw
Tin* ocean round, but had no time to mark
The motions of their vessel.’
# # # # *
Youth and beauty had started on a trip of
pleasure. With tearful eye and quivering
lip they had bade adieu to the friends they
left behind them, and had thrown a lingering
glance upon their native and much-loved
city, as it faded in the distance ; but their
fond hearts were out upon the bright wave of
anticipated pleasure, and hope, with her soft
whisper and joyous laugh, pointed them to
the future, and painted its countless scenes of
enjoyment in brilliant and fascinating colors.
What a glowing picture was he _ e presented
of human life, at a season when the freshness
and buoyancy of youth grasps the cop of
nectar and quaffs it with delight, not recking
of the poisonous dregs which lie at the bottom.
Sudden and sad was the change which
came o’er the spirit of their dreaiii:
* Last noon beheld them full of lusty life,
Last eve in beauty’s circle proudly gay.’
To-day the insatiate sea opens its mouth
and swallows them—the mighty waters gather
around the light of their fondest hope, and
extinguish it forever! Dark, forlorn and
hopeless was the hour, when the shattered
wreck sunk from the view of heaven and
earth—covered with all ages, sexes and con
ditions of human beings! but lo! it rises
again! and the joyful hope that fills each
bosom, swells the heart like agony itself! ye
‘stars that glitter on the robe of night,’ shed
your brightest rays on the pathway of the
perishing! and thou, soft and pensive moon,
whose light is fur the innocent and suffering,
pour thy broad and effulgent beams upon the
ocean, till it glare as a burning world, that
some friendly sa : l may discover, and come to
the rescue of those dying mortals !
**##-
The mother hugs closer to her bosom her
infant, wet and chill from this sudden and un
hidden baptism—and the hope that gleams in
that mother’s eye, is bright and cheering as
the star which looks forth upon a waking
world, from the grey dawn of morning: The
daughter clings to the nerved frame of her
father, with the trembling confidence of the
Roman maid, into whose bosom the instru
ment of death is about to be plunged, by that
arm on which she leans for support —and as
the father catches the anxious, imploring eye
of his daughter, he feels as though he could
thrice swim the Hellespont with his precious
burden in his arms. But ere the first look of
astonishment is withdrawn —ere a prayer is
said, or a farewell taken—the moon failing in
her ccnvov of mercy, and the stars twinkling
fainter and fainter in the heavens high—the
mother crying ‘ Oh ! save my darling babe,’
and the father agonizing to leap on shore
with his beloved daughter, or looking up lo
the stars, praying to be caught up into their
midst; ere any of these petitions of despairing
souls can be answered, the yawning gulph is
again opened —the fated hulk again sinks, and
amidst shrieks and groans that pierce the
very heavens, the cold bosom of the ocean
receives them as its final treasure!
The last view might have been, a cherub
infant borne above the wave upon the exten
ded arms of its struggling mother, smiling in
the sweetness of innocence as it sunk into the
blue sea, perfectly unconscious of danger or
harm.
Move lightly ye mermaids of ocean, as ye
pass around the victims of the ill-lated Pulas
ki! more hallowed than those who sleep in
the family vault, covered by the weeping
willow, they should not be disturbed, until
that stupendous day, when 4 the grave shall
yield up its victims, and the sea shall give up
her dead.’

Columbus, 19th June, IS3B.
Messrs. Editors :— I see the city autho
rities levy a tax on hank stock, and learn
that, since the Legislature have relinquished
the whole of the State tax to the counties for
county purposes, the tax collectors in some
of the counties have also added the item
k Bank Stock’ in their digest. This proceed
ing is destitute of any authority of Jaw. The
statute taxing bank stock looks to the corpo
ration for the tax, and provides especially the
manner of assessment and collection ; which
is done without the intervention of Receivers
or Collectors, (see the law, Prince’s new Dig.
p. 459, or the new Georgia Justice, p. 242.)
This law stands unrepealed and unaltered;
and the tax is still required, under a heavy
penalty, to be paid into the State Treasury,
and is paid tl*ere. .
Now, as this species of property is taxed
under special law, and in a special manner, it
is not embraced in the Uw giving the whole
State t3x to the counties; nor can this tax
ever to the counties but by another special
law’ repealing this, and providing anew
mode of assessment and collection. Lnoer
the existing tax laws, the tax Receivers and
Collectors, for county or city, have no more
to do with the tax on bank stock than with
the collection of pi>biic duties in the city of
]Stw York. It is absurd for tbe city autho-!
rities of Columbus to class Bank incorpora
tions among subjects of general taxation.
Either their charter or their ordinance pre
scribes the form of an oath to be administer
ed. Read the oath, and then say with what
propriety or consistency such an oath can be
administered to a corporation, or any member
of it ? Suppose the bank shall refuse to give j
in, (as must be the case) and the execution fol- j
lows, will not the receipt of the State Trea
surer, for sueh Bank's tax, paid in conformity j
to the existing law of the Stale, be a ‘ receipt
in full’ upon any such execution ? Most cer- j
tainly. Believing that the courts will so
determine, I would respectfully solicit the j
attention of the city and county authorities
to the subject, that if, upon examination of
the law, they should deem themselves to be
in error, the error may proceed no further.
CITIZEN.
For the Sentinel and Herald.’
Messrs. Editors : It is a source of greet
pleasure to me, and must be so to ail lovers j
of good order, to learn that great improve- i
inent, in the moral condition of your city,
has already been effected by the stern and j
inflexible course adopted by your Judge, who, ;
it seems, is determined to visit, with the lull
measure of the law, all those outrageous of- j
fenders who are brought before him. Had
some of his predecessors adopted such a
course, many of those bloody tragedies, heart- j
rending and disgraceful scenes might have ;
been prevented. But strange to tell, notwith
standing the frequent occurrence of those ag- j
gravated murders by which your city has been
filled with widows and orphans, none have
atoned for the violated law, noire have been
brought to condign punishment. Such a course
upon the part of our judicial officers, must have
tended greatly to encourage that reckless
spirit which the romantic youth of our day
construe into chivalry; hence the great de- i
tnand for thoseimplementsofdeath; and under j
this popular delusion not only the modern Don i
Quixottes, but many of our most respectable
citizens, especially in your city, regard the
pistol and bmvie knife, or dirk, as an indis
pensesible portion of their costume, aft hough
in positive violation of law’! It is said, how
ever, that vendors of these articles find fewer
customers, and the hope is cherished that un
der the administration of the law of your |
present Judge, the vile, guilty, blood-stained
murderer will not only tremble but expiate j
his guilt upon tbe ignominious gallows. Much i
as has been done towards ameliorating the :
condition of society in your young and beau
tiful city, yet Ihere still remains much to do;
for never in the whole course of my life were
mv feelings so outraged as they were by an
exhibition, which I witnessed in your county
a few days since, and that, too, upon the
great highway or thoroughfare within nine
miles of vour city. Though a large slave
holder, residing in a country filled wish that
population, for the first tmie in my life had I
the mortification to witness a scene of barba
rity and savage cruelty that would scarcely
be tolerated in a land of cannibals. I will
not shock your humanity by a minute detail j
of the .refinement in cruelty, as practised by |
one of your citizens, and that, too, almost in ,
sight of two large edifices dedicated to the j
worship of the true and living God; and j
many of the followers of our meek and lowly !
Jesus made to Witness the brutal treatment of j
a human being when’ going and’ returning
from the blessed sanctuary. There is no exag
geration in this matter, as you are aware I
have none of those morbid or sickly sensibili
ties that characterize many professors of re
ligion, who strain at gnats and swallow
camels. lam an advocate for good disci
pline, and rejoice to say that I reside among
a slave-holding people whose humanity and
kindness render their domestics the happiest
people I ever saw ; and an act of cruelty I
never witnessed upon the part of any slave
holder in mv county.-
