£itucs attfr Sotlittel. jCOLUMBUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1853. FOR GOVERNOR: iIERSCHEL V. JOHNSON, OF BALDWIN. FOR CONGRESS: A. H. COLQUITT, OF Baker. The Editor is absent for a few days. We say it, because we do not wish to make him responsible for the off-hand dashes in this number of the “Times.” We fear he would not like to write under the signature of hi* Babulus—Hos ego versiculos feci. “Legion.” We are pleased to observe that the “facetious editor of the Enquirer,” as the Milledgeville Recorder terms him, has been supposed to say something very clever, when, in answer to an enquiry for the name of its new party, it replied that it was “Legion.” We must con fess that the wit of the thing does not sparkle on the surface, and requires some research to bring out 5 and after all the digging and delving after it, we expect its admirers would rather have a small lump of California gold. Now “Legion” is a collective noun— very col lective ; and may be applied to collections o’ the most di verse and variegated species of individuals. The new party may, therefore, be a legion of patriots, or a legion of famished seekers after the reins of the State Govern ment, utterly indifferent to political principles, so that the legion have that prime of quality of great numbers. There are legions of Angels, and w'e have heard of a legion of Devils 5 and the present legion of the En quirer is the most essentially ringed, streaked and speckled legion of politicians, that was ever sought to be .agglomerated in one body. Here we have the author of the “Georgia Platform” recommended to the people of Georgia, on the ground that that charming piece of tasselated work, “ only sav ed the Union, but did not save the South !” Here we have Hamilcar Toombs, who swore his children so ter ribly on that altar, only to show his children how easily tremendous vows were broken, offering to lead Georgia to the rescue of Southern Rights ! Oh craekey ! Here we have the candidate for Vice President on the ticket with Daniel Webster, the gentleman who said the Buffalo Free Soilers “ had certainly stolen the senti ment from the Whigs' 1 —who quoted a joke from Swift to ridicule “the clear case of petit larceny .” Dulcc et naty'le Solum ; Fine words ! I wonder where he stole’em ; here we have this gentleman, Jenkins and his friends, turning up the whites of their pious eyes, beoauso Mr. Pierce has appointed some repentant Free Soilers to some small offices ! Oh hypocritical legion ! and here we have the Golumbus Lnquirer and the whole array of the Legionary press, pitching into Gen. Pierce for the same offence of appointing Northern men to of fice. who have accepted the compromise of ISSO. and declared their willingness to abide by it —while these same Legionaries went it tooth and nail, body and breeches, and with the perfect abandon and enthusiasm, which only legionaries can get up for “our side,” for a man who, in l v dß, put in black and white as follows: c . v Buffalo, Oct 17th, 1838. bir—Your communication of the 15th instant, as Chair man of a committee appointed by the “Anti-Slavery So ciety of the county of Erie,” has just come to hand. You solicit my answer to the following interrogatories: lsi. Do you believe that petitions to Congress on the sub ject of slavery and the slave trade ought to be received, read and respectfully considered bv the representatives of ta* people ? ‘<id. Are you opposed to the annexation of Texas to this Union, under any circumstances, so long as slaves are held therein ? 3d. Are vou in favor of Congress exercising all the con stitutional power it possesses to abolish the internal slave trade between the States ? 4th. Are you in favor of immediate legislation for the abolition of slavery in the District cf Columbia ? I am much engaged, and have no time to enter into an argument, or to explain at lengthmy reasons (for iny opinions. I shall theielbre content myself for the present by answering all your interrogatories in the affirmative, and leave for some future occasion a more extended discussion on the subject. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, „ MILLARD FILLMORE. W. Mills, Esq., Chairman. And here again we find this “Legion'’ standing on a platform !Ye Gods! and such a platform !—a plat form, not a plank in which does not rise up and de nounce its Whiff authors as renegades and apostates from the W hig principles of 20 years, standing; and ravishers of some of the very best planks in the platforms of the Democratic and Southern Rights parties. Thus has “Legion” branded its own Whig brows with the mark of apostacy from Whig principles—stamped error upon its own teachings and preachings for years, and now having committed an enormous theft, stands on the house tops and calls loudly on the people to admire the virtue, the constancy, the fixedness of purpose, the fidelity to principle of this great nameless party. “Little Jack Homer, sat in c corner To eat a Christmas pie, He put in his thumb, and pulled out a plum And said, what a pretty boy am 1* “Legion”! beautiful legion ! Pity that old Falstaff were not alive to model his army after it. A “legion’’ of fleeces, jumping helter skelter over every gap, where Bellweather Toombs takes a jump. Aud albeit he jumps right into the bowels of Whiggery as he did here at Temperance Ilall, and ripping open its bread-basket exhibits to the eyes of Whiggery itself what a horrid repertory of corruption it has been, and uring all this time that he has fed and they have patted it—even to the unwhigging of YN higgery—away they go, shouting and hu.raing, chucking up their hats, and damning the Leinoerats all the same, for principles, against princi ples, or without principles. Give us numbers, give us Legion, and principles be hanged, say they. Didn’t Toombs make them drop Scott like a hot potatoe ? And what was Scott but a Whig of the first water ? How was he worse than Fillmore, or Corwin, or Seward and all those other Whig captains the “Legion’’ used to swear by ? And now what has he done ? Why, torn up the WAig- constitution—kicked away the old Whig platform and “spat upon ithoisted the Webster W higs with Jenkins for their candidate into the top , Beats of the synagogue and told the Scott Whigs to kick up, at their peril. Legion by the great boot! you ought to call the party Toombs, and his coat of arms 6 ould be adorned with the figure of a chameleon ram pant—with tne motto, varium ct muUkile; and then when he should come to survey his ‘‘Legion.” the modern Jlamilear might well exclaim : ‘Fickle as a leaf on stream, Changeful as a waking dream. ibou many-beaded monster tfling, . Oh who would wish to be thy Jung?” Enquirer’s party lacks all the qua Ijfiea of a Le ■K’ A legion has discipline; il i* ~ by 3 grand purpose and fixed principles; stability is its high est characteristic—its own inherent strength is its re liance—its locked shield* are its invulnerable panoply of defence—its stout short swords the instruments of its prowess. It never steals from the cause against which it is set to fight. It never takes nigh cuts to deceive its foe, but inarches in its strength on the highway to meet them. A Legion flies but one flag and is true to it. It never carries snares and nets to “catch birds of every feather”—a legion in short is a power, a force, combined of the morale of its cause, and the steel and sinews of its physical material—and not a mob of stray and platfortnless politicians, whose creed has been rudely snatched away by the very Priests who taught it to them, and who even without a name , are running about and begging somebody for mercy’s sake to tell them who they belong to, and where they are to go. Pshaw’ 1 Sam, try it again. City Improvements, This evening, Columbus is to receive its first gas light illumination. It will be a novelty that will attract attention, and it is one of the marks of im provement in the economy and convenience of living in this city. After all that is said about Railroads, it is local improvements at last that we are to depend upon for the growth of this city in population and prosperity. Internal development is what we need, and whatever home enterprise tends to add an additional inhabitant to the place, is the enterprise that we should cherish and foster. It is calculated that one operative in a faeto try, one artisan, mechanic or individual engaged in in dustrious pursuit, is worth as much to the city as the sale of 50 bags of cotton —because one of these indi viduals spends as much money in the community as the planter of 50 bales of cotton. Sea port towns derive their growth largely from foreign commerce—but wdiat would even the city of New York be without the thou sands upon thousands of persons who are engaged in industry in that city ? Vast as her trade is—many as are the heads and hands, and huge as is the eapital re quired to conduct her immense commerce—it may bo 6afely said that New York owes half of her population to the manufactures and arts that are carried on within her limits. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Low’ell are fine examples of what industry does towards the augmenta tion of population and wealth. Columbus has extraor dinary advantages in this respect. Beautifully located, with a salubrious climate, a fine surrounding country, a water power unparalleled and exhaustless, and with admirable and rapid communications to distant points, there is no reason why an enlightened improvement of her natural advantages should not double and treble the present population To accomplish this, it is a mat ter of the greatest importance that the water power that wastes its riches by our door, should be placed in a con dition for permanent and regular use. All doubts of the stability of the works must be removed before capi tal will be tempted to line the river batik with factories of every species of fabric and commodity. This should be done at any cost, and the city of Columbus should sec to it, that it is done, either by the present owners of the franchise —or if they cannnotor will not, by the city itself, after having reclaimed the grant on proper compensation to the present grantees. This water power, rightly used, has in itself, the elements of a steady population of 10,000 souls. Another thing wanted is, to invite population by im provements in the economy, commerce and luxury of living. We have gas—we now want an abundant supply of pure water —and w’e want one or more good hotels. In this last particular, it is difficult to’ estimate how much this city has suffered for the last 15 years, and it would be a curious tabie of statistics that would show us at a glance, how many strangers have avoided Co lumbus, or hurried from it, when obliged to come here, on account of the discomforts of hotel accommodations. And it would be instructive to learn how much money has been lost to the community from these circumstances. Fruit. ! Our friend, R. J. Mobfib, Esq., has sent to our sanc tum a branch from a Nectarine tree, covered with rich, red and ripe fruit. We wish we could daguerreotype it to the minds of each of our readers as it now sparkles in our eyes. But we despair ; it is one of those good aud beautiful things of earth that need to be personally enjoyed in order to be appreciated ; and we now lay down our pen to take one. Here goes reader, don’t you wish you had one ? We arc sure we do. We would not exchange the bancli of Nectarines be fore us for the three golden apples of the Hesperides which Hercules bamboozled the stupid giant Atlas into | plucking for him ; for the apples we “read of,” but ) the Nectarines we possess in full and actual fruit-ion. We Columbus-ites are in luck. With Pbabody on one side of us, making us strawberries half the year, wa tered from the spring of Perine ; and onr friend Moses, imitating Meecenas on the other, and growing peaches of richer tint and flavor than ever melted on the palate of Roman luxuriousness —we have nothing left to wish for but health and long life to these two worthy citi zens, who are so much greater than the man who made “two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before,” as strawberries and peaches are better than green grass. We see. by the way, that fruit from the garden and orchard of both of thvise gentlemen has appeared in the Savannah market; and the last Southern steamer to New York carried out a number of baskets of peach es to astonish the palates of some of the Gothamites. Oh Don’t ! The funny editor of the Lagrange Reporter wants to know if the “ Times ” wasn’t a Fire eater and a Disun ionist in 1850-51 ? and wasn’t llerschel V. Johnson a Disunionist, etc., etc., at the s-une time 1 Well, neighbor, wasn’t you a Whig about three weeks ago, and aiu’t you now a “ Legion ?” Answer us that. Great activity is shown at all the military posts of Frauce. Detachments of marines on their way to Tou lon pass almost daily through Paris. Orders have been issued to all seamen on leave ol absence, whose term of service has not yet expired, to proceed forth with to Brest, and report themselves to the Admiral. Orders to raise seamen have been received at llon fleur. Lieut. Maury, Superintendent of the National Ob servatory, is about to go out to Europe, for the purpose of attending at Brussels, a convention of meteorologists, deputed by the several naval powers of Europe, to fix upon some uniform plan of observations for testing Lieut. Maury’s theory of winds and currents. The New Post Office stamp envelopes have made their appearance among us. We understand that 25,- ()00 have been received at the P. O. of this city. £lr. John R. Johnson has bet-u appointed by tba United States Marshal for the District of Georgia vice YV. H. C. Mills, resigned. The deaths in New York last week were 405, as re ported by the City Inspector. This is a decline of 156 from the previous week. Os the deceased, 45 died of cholera infantum, 39 of convulsions, 34 of consumption, 28 of dropsy in the head, 23 of diarrhoea, 6 of sun stroke, and 14 of dysentery. Os the whole number, 222 were under two years of age. The health of the French emperor excites the great est anxiety. Violent swelling of his legs and feet is one of his dangerous symptoms 5 but he still continues to appear in public. The Emperor and Empress of France are living in the greatest simplicity and retire ment at St. Cloud. At the desire of the Empress, nearly all the ladies and gentlemen of the court have received a temporary dismissal. [FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.] Girard and Mobile Railroad. Mr. Editor : As the great Daniel Webster once said in the celebrated debate with Col. Hayne upon Foote’s res olutions, “it is necessary sometimes to pause and take an observation to see where we are,” &e. So do I think it becomes the duty, as I ieel it is the interest of the citizens of Columbus at this particular juncture, to look around and see how we are likely to be affected by the great railroad projects of the day. It is certain that railroads arc destined to wield a mighty and controlling influence in building up and pulling down cities. Hence it is important for us as a commercial city to improve every opportunity to secure their advantages. Columbus at this time occupies a strong position. She lias only to he prompt and bold, and suc cess is certain. Let us glance at her position. The Mus cogee road completed and in operation. The Opelika road rapidly advancing. The Girard and Mobile road go ing ahead at this end, and Mobile preparing to meet us at the other. The subscription to the Eufaula connection nearly made up. The New Orleans and Mobile road about being surveyed, and which will as certainly be built. These roads, when finished, will (with the Chattahoochee river) give us decided advantages. Montgomery sees this. Her people see that Selma, Columbus, and Mobile are about to shut her out. Montgomery fears that the Opelika road will not stop at that point, hut will he extended into the rich counties of Talladega, Tuscaloosa and westward. She sees the vast and rich productions on the line of the ,Girard and Mobile road about to be snatched out of her grasp ; hence she is straining every nerve to prevent Mobile from aiding the road to Girard. She is doing all she can to divert her late subscription of one million of dollars, and it is to be feared she may succeed. She has every motive. Self preservation is the first law of nature, and we may ex pect her utmost efforts to break down the Girard road. How is this to be prevented ? Columbus must arouse her self; she must act promptly and boldly. The Girard road must go on—it must be built. Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars more will secure it. Columbus must lend her credit for that amount. Yes, fora half a million, if necessary. Let her dispose of her stock in the Muscogee road—this can be done at par, or nearly so—putting her in good credit, and which will enable her to lend her bonds on long time, to the company, and my word for it. her stock in the road will more than pay her back the invest ment. lias any one been injured by the city’s subscrip tion to the Muscogee Road ? Not one, 1 presume. All will admit that the Girard and Mobile Road is equally if not a more important road to us than the Muscogee. The stock will certainly be better. Columbus has it now in her power to secure herself in her strong position. One from which it will be difficult hereafter to dislodge her. I there fore suggest that the Mayor, or his proxy in his absence, call a meeting of the city at an early day, to take this mat ter into consideration. I understand that, several of our ablest men will address the citizens, explaining the impor tance of this subject in all its bearing. AN UP TOWN MAN. Card. Rifles’ Armory, if Montgomery, July 11, 1853. j At the regular meeting of the Montgomery Rifles held this evening at Military ilall, it was unanimously Resolved , That a committee be appointed to draft suita ble resolutions expressive of our hearty appreciation, as a corps, of the liberal and thorough hospitalities which we have recently experienced from the military and citizens of Columbus, from Capt. Abercrombie and Col. Mott, of this State, and from Clias. T. Pollard, Esq., President Mont gomery and West Point Rail Road Company, and that they publish the same in our city papers. In complying with the above resolution, it affords the committee both pride and pleasure, thus to be used as “the medium” through which to assure our brother-sol diers and our friends, of the deep and lasting sense of the many obligations under which they have placed us. it is in vain to search for a social or festive scene that would equal or compare with that through which we have just passed in our sister city. As soldiers we visited her—as brothers were we met and welcomed—as friends were we entertained: —Therefore be it Resolved , That between Columbus and Montgomery there exists a firm and unshaken bond of friendship, in a military and social point of view—our hopes are for a last ing continuance. Resolved , That in the military of Columbus we recog nize the noble and generous impulses of soul which char aeterize the true man and brave soldier. Resolved , That to the ladies of Columbus and its vicinity we feel ourselves under particular obligations for their kind and successful efforts to render our visit pleasant, and for throwing around it those sweet rerniniscenses in which Southern chivalry so much delights. Resolved , That the citizens of Columbus, for their united and untiring z.-al to afford us pleasure during our stay, possess our sincere thanks; we recommend them as worthy of emulation. Resolved, That we recognize in Capt. Ilall the qualities of a gentleman, a soldier, and a friend ; long will we cher ish the memory of his services, so kind, so assiduous, while Quartermaster at “Camp Montgomery.” Resolved, That to Alabama’s long-tried and faithful son, Capt. Abercrombie, we feel ourselves deeply indebted for the cordial weloome and entertainment given us at his house in Russell county, and to Col. Mott for his kindness to our corps on the march to and from Columbus. Resolved , That the thanks of the Montgomery Rifles are hereby tendered to Charles T. Pollard, Esq., Presi dent of the Montgomery and YVest Point Rail Road Com pany, and to his assistants, for the liberality and kindness manifested to our corps on the trip to and from Opelika. Lieut. THOMAS C. POE, ) Lieut. R. C. FARRISS, > Corn. Skrg't. J G. WALSH. ) Fine Pcqches. —A friend yesterday presented us with a quantity, or a lot, as the cotton man would say, ol the finest peaches we fative seen or tasted this many a day. They “Yvere sent to him from Columbus, and were from the orchard ot Col. R. J. Moses, of that city, the gentleman who, at the recent celebration of the iron nup tials of the Savannah and the Chattahoochee, elicited such universal applause by bis eloquence. It will be considered high praise by those who heard him on that interesting occasion, when we say that his peaches aro only equalled by his s -peeches. We understand that arrangements have been made lor supplying our market with these pea ches daily during their season.— Sav. yews, July 7 th. [FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.] The Patriot’s Escape. A small mounted company was sent from Saltillo to recon noitre the Mexican forces assembled at San Luis de Potosi. They ventured too far, were surrounded by a thousand of the enemy, and captured. Among these was Capt. Henrie, ot Texas, who had previously been captured in the war with Texas, and escaped. He again conceived the bold neces sity of escape, in order to save his life ; and, by means of his thorough-bred mare, actually effected it, amid a shower of bullets; but not until he had ridden her down, and trav eled a secluded circuit of many miles on foot, suffering greatly for want of food and water. He finally reached the American lines in safety. —History oj the War The martial hosts of Mexico, Potosi’s plain saw tented there.

The following article by Willis, in The Home Journal, ought to bo republished in every other journal in this pig-ridden, swine burdened, up rooted, down wallowed comTtry of freedom to hogs, the only truly independent, free common ers in the country. Argument and law is useless to abate the hor rid nuisance ; it must be done by the higher law power of sarcastic ridicule of the prevalent cus tom of letting hogs run in the highway: The corner of the Highland Terrace which forms our neighborhood—(a cluster of three ru ral villages, cut off by Moodna Creek and its toll bridge, from the city reach influences of Newburgh)—is charmingly primitive and rural. With no pine-apples for sale, no frequentation by the gentlemen and ladies who make twenty four excursions from New York, no billiard-ta ble and no newspaper, it is an eddy of still life, left behind in unrippled simplicity by the current of progress. Delightfully unaffected and farm er like as life hereabouts is, however, we have a class of rowdies—rowdies with a twist to their tails—and they overrule the law as effectually as the rowdies of New .York, and by the same sort of tacit admission in the mind of the pub lic. The pig interest is too strong to he med dled with. But the way in which the “higher law’’ is openly claimed for these rural rowdies in the very heart of our pretty village of Canterbury, for instance, is very curious. Out of any one of those nice white houses along the street, will come the most dainty looking young ladies, fresh from tasty parlors, and mammas that take a magazine. The pretty white fence encloses a little garden, with flower beds edged with box, rose-bushes and lilacs. Door bells, or brass knocker, of course, inside the gate, all is “gen teel.” Outside the gate, however—in the street —on the side—right before the front door and under the parlor windows—stands lne family pig-trough. The family pigs have the run ot the village during the day, and at night and morn ing they come home for their own particular swill—eaten, in the evening, perhaps while the piano is playing on the other side ot the pretty while fence. In dry weather, when there is no bed of mud in the carriage track in the renter of the street, the gentleman pig stretches him self across the sidewalk to sleep ; and, on your way to the post-office, you may walk round a score or more, or take the middle of the street. You respect pig. You see pig. You smell pig. But beautiful young ladies sit in the windows, just over the fence. The cottagers in the country around would be less particular, of course, if there were a way to be so, than the more genteel villagers—but the pig-trough outside the gate is the unvarying feature. And these gentlemen outlaws know the country, and take long walks. Leave a bar down, or let your visitors from curiosity (as hap pens to me every day ) forget to shut your gate as they enter, and the pigs are all over the place- They rootedup, for me, yesterday, a green slope covered with laurels, upon the beauty of which 1 had particularly sot my heart, cherishing it for a foreground to a picture some artist will pa*nt for me —and it took me and my man an hour to get the unpunishable defacers out’ once more on the highway. They get in at night.— Here and there one climbs a wall like a clumsy bov, dragging it after him as he goes over, The religious bearing of this hard “trial” is perhaps the only one that can he safely dwelt upon.— One does not say his prayers near so easily, 1 find, alter driving out pigs morning and evening, nor begin very immediately again, to “love his neighbor as himself.” It is against the law—everybody’ knows—for pigs to be turned loose on a public highway.— Any one of my daily trespassers could be law fully driven, bv me, five miles to the nearest “pound”——l could then lawfully take pains that the sheriff’gave notice to the owner that bis pig was •here-lawfully see that the poor animal was kept from starving for the several days before he might be taken away—lawfully go four or five miles to attend the justice’s court, and ap pear as prosecutor —lawfully pay my own ex genses for this two or three weeks of trouble, travel and vexation —and lawfully make an ene my for life of the owner of the trespassing swine, who would perhaps have a dollar of fine to pay, in consequence of my prosecution of him. All this it costs to follow up one trespass by one pig. Pig endurance costs less But the village of Newburgh, only four miles frm us, has outlived th>*s stage of progress. Pig vagrancy has been put down in its beautiful streets —owing, however, to the resolute public spirit of a single individual. Downing, to whom the country owes so much for it advances of re finement and embellishment, undertook to sup press pig at Newburgh, where he resided. He was told it was Quixotic —that the time, money and trouble it would cost might ruin him—that his grounds would he disfigured, his trees gird led, and his garden of precious plants torn in pieces by the infuriated people—that the poor had no place to keep their pigs, and there was muelTto he got by a smart pig on the public highway. Ji is self-interest, and pity lor the pig proprietor, were both appealed to. Ileperser vered, however, patiently and long—and suc ceeded. Now we want such a pig apostle at Canter bury—some public spirited generous and kindly man, who will make himself remotely beloved and remembered by such a crusade of unpopu larity against the rowdiesat our gates. We (wait for him, as New {Y ork for waits her pig-apostle. Let us make ready to give their advents a wel come. Newspaper Changes in Washington* We learn from Washing'on that the Evening Star establishment has been purchased by two gen tlemen from Baltimore, Messrs. Wallack &. Hope, who will shortly issue anew “independent” penny paper. The Washington Republic will come out on Monday under anew arrangement. Its size will be reduced slightly, and the pennysysteui adopted. In their announcement, the publishers say the Republic will remain devoted t<> its old political principles which are the principles of the last whip; National Convention, “and substantially those of the inaugu ral address ot’ President Pierce. It. will make no opposition to the present administration, on any ground that it lias occupied in its initial manifesto.” It.is presumed the President would not ask for any support outside of that manifesto,” it has been lung suspected that the Republic was leaning towards the present administration, with an intention of jumping the fence on the first favorable opportunity, and the present announcement of its proprietors shows that they are about to perform that feat pretty cleanly. The support o! the Inaugural of Gen. Pierce, how ever, is hardly compatible with loyalty to the prin ciples of Mr. Fillmore's administration—Galphinism and all. But the Republic will soon get over any little difficulty occasioned by its hybrid position.— Ii will not be long before, like Gonzalez’s Com monwealth, its end will forget its beginning, and we shall find it a full-blown Administration print. That is the goal, as I have just hinted, to which its road has been tending for some time. Its editor, Mr. Sar gent who is one of the cleverest political vvriterr of the dav, is a near relative of the President, and perhaps that may account for the milk in the cocoa nut.—Delta. Kissing. —Wm. H. Hines kissed Mrs. Gorham, in East Boston, the other clay. She sued him for damages, on value received, but did not appear on the return clay, having been satisfied by a cash pay ment of sls. This, therefore, may be set down as the Boston market price of kisses. The last de cision of New York was $5, and in New’ Orleans $3. Kisses in this sunny city are, like Mercy, twice blessed : “It blesses him that gives and her that takes. - ’ Such kisses, therefore, are above all price, and their value cannot be measured by dollars and cents. — Sac. Rep. (me Consul General lo Alexandria —Mr. Edwin DeLeon, the newly appointed Consul General to Egypt, left this port in the Bal ic yesterday, en route for Alexandria. In addition to the ordinary functions of a consul lie is charged with a margin of diplomatic authority, which, considering the present relations of Turkey and her dependencies to the rest of the world, he may be ended upon to exercise. A gentleman, however, of talents, educa tion, and experience, we have little fear of any in discretion of the country, or himself, in the exet cise ot the discretion which is attached to his report sidle position. To he sure, in our late contest upon the slavery question lie was an ultra in support of Southern rights ; but that fact will he rather to his advantage than his prejudice among the Turks and the Egyptians, who recognise slavery as an in stitution descended to them from Abraham, and sanctioned by the Prophet. In a word, we shall he disappointed if the mission of Mr. DeLeon does not result, commercially and politically, to the advan tage of our country.— New York HeraUl 1 Olh ins/. A Frenchman, M. Herbert, recently exhibited some curious experiments in Paris, by which plants are made to blow instantaneously- The means used was a chemical mixture with which he watered the geraniums, which immediately began to open their buds, ami in ten minutes the plants were in full bloom. With a rose tree he was, however, less successful. A euralgia. —This formidable disease, which seems to baffle the skill of physicians, yields like magic to Carter's Spanish Mixture. Mr. F. Hoyden, formerly of the Astot* House, New York, and late proprietor of the Exchange Hotel, Rich mond, Ya., is one of the hundreds who have* been cured of severe Neuralgia by Carter’s Spanish Mixture. Since his cure, be has recommended it to numbers o others who were suffering with nearly every form of dis ease,w th the most wonderful success.
