A Midnight Villainy. As (lie train which left West Point, on Saturday night, for this city, was entering the eastern limits of the. village ol CuKHeta, in Chambers County, a gun was tired at the persons on the etiginv. *Tliin assassinating deed had its appropriate hour— midnight. Mr. Gordon, the engineer, was not struck, hut Mudge, fireman, received a flesh wound in the arm from one shot. When the train stopped in the viiiuge, to put oft’ a passenger, several persons came out to it, stating that they heard the report of the gun. It is to be hoped that, ere this, they have fer reted out the assassin ; and justice could only be deall/to him by turning him over to a commniittee coni|>osed equally of railroad engineers and through passengers. — Mont. Mail 20/A. Mr. Wm. J. Morton. We notice in the .Savannah papers, that they say Mr. Wm. .J’ Morton, of Athens, who was shot by Mr. Cox, of Mississippi, at the Madison Springs, oil the 7th inst., is dead. We would correct this report. Mr. Morton is still alive, and his friends have the most confident hope of his ultimate recovery. Our estimable young townsman has our sympathy in this unfortunate allair.— Athens Banner. The Boston Case of Violation of the Neutrality Laws. Boston, Aug. 11. Tho United Slatea Commissioner, in the case of Wag ner, charged with enlisting men lor foreign military ser vice, decided, to day, to send him to New York for tri al. The evidence ot enlisting men in that city is quite strong against the defendant. An Old Fogy Retired. — Liiurlow Weed has pub lished his valedictory in the Albany (N. Y.) Evening Journal. The Journal was established by Mr. Weed in 1830 as an organ of Anti-Masonry, and for ten years lie was its sole editor, reporter, and news collector. It has always exerted a great influence in controlling the whig politics of the State, and lias laterly been known as an “out-and-out” champion of Seward. He retires from “a consciousness that men, like that noble animal whose spirit and'muscles we task, grow old and wear out ; or like garments, grow out of fashion. With our day,and generation, our season of usefulness passes. We are a fast people and this a fast age —so fast that ‘old fogies’ cannot hope and should not attempt to keep up with ei ther.” Samuel Wilkinson is his successor. Hebrew Conference. —A circular signed by tho Rev. Dr. Guenzburg, of Baltimore, Rev. Dr. Cohen, of Al bany, and others, announces that a conference of the min isters, rahbasj and delegates of tho Israel i bah congrega tions are to assemble on the 17tli day of October next, 5616, A. M., in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, to deliber ate on the iollovving points : 1. On tho Union of American Israel. 2. To organ ize a “permanent” regular Synod or Sanhedrim. 3. On a plan for religious and scholastic education. 4. On all otlu r matters of importance in regard to Judaism, which may be brought before the conference. pain Opened. —Two gentlemen, one a Spaniard and tho other an English merchant in Spain, were recently in London proviuiug themselves with printing presses to take to Spain, from which to issue copies of the Bible and New Testament throughout the kingdom, in which they said there is now more liberty than in France ; religious works published in Spain being allowed to be circulated. The Crops.- —Wo have just returned from the country, and regret to hear the doleful accounts of our farming friends of (be destruction to the growing cotton crop.— The heavy rains for the past six weeks have, in a great measure, produced an overgrowth in the cotton weed, causing it to look in the rows, thereby shading the early bolls and producing the rot. This, together with the worm, has cut short the crop. The entire prairie portion of our county lias been peculiarly the favorite region for the ravages* of this most destructive worm, and from all l parts of this section of our county we daily learn of their destructiveness. Many crops which hid fair before the rains set in to make an abundant yield, are now almost bare of fruit. Sad indeed is this state of affitirs. We also learn that the sandy lands are shedding, and much injury has been done them. We are confident, from the statements of the most reliable men that the crop of cotton in our county must ho short. < fur grain crop is good—corn never better.— Alabama Journal, 21. A New Northern Party. —Washington, Aug. 14. Information has been received here of meetings having been held in Northern States preliminary to the forma- j lion of a Republican association as an adjunct to anew Northern patty.

General Cullotn Defeated. —We regret to announce that General Cullotn, tho able, fearless and independent candidate for Congress in the Fourth District ol Tennes see, is defeated by 402 majority.— Wash, American Or* gan, K.

Dr. Charles Williams— Sir: I accidentally got hold of your“Pulmonic Balsam of Whild ‘Cherry,” and have no hesitatancy in pronouncing it tho best expectorant I have ever used, and have tried nearly all the far-lamed ex pectorants of the day, as I have been laboring under pul monic affection for nine years. I received a “letter from my brother-in-law, the Rev. James Wallis, a few days ago, and he and his wife were both using the “Pulmonic Bal sam,” and were perfectly delighted with it. His wile, two weeks before, had lost all hope of recovery, but was aston ishingly improved. Your obedient servant, „ B W. HARRIS. Courtland, Ala., Feb. 21, 1849. Sold by all Druggists everywhere. See long ad vertisement in another column., augHltn. Dr. M 7 Lnnc’g Vermifuge.—During a practice of more than twenty years, Dr, McLatje had attended innumera ble patients afflicted with every form of worm disease, and was induced to applj all the energies ofhis mind to the discov ery of a vermifuge, or worm destroyer, certain in its effects; the result of his labors is the American Worm Specific, now before the public,- which is perfectly safe, and maybe given alike to childeu of the most tender age, or to the aged adult; it purges mildly aud subdues lever,and destroys worms with invariable success. It is easy of administration, and as it does not contain mercury in any form whatever, no restrictions are necessary with regard to drinking cold water, nor is it ua pable of doing the least injury to the tendcrest infant. An in credible nmnbcr of worms have been expelled by this great Vermifuge. Purchasers’ will please be carelul to ask for DR. M’LANE’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, and| take none else. All other Vermifuges, in comparison, are worthless. Dr. M’Lanes gen uine!

[Letter from lion. John Minor Botts, of Virginia.] Richmond, Va., July 9lh, 1855. Messrs. IVm , S.tleers & Cos., Gents:— Considerations of du ty to the afflicted alone, prompt me to send you this voluntary testimonial to the great value of ‘•'•Carter's Spanis/t Mixture for that almost incurable disease, Scrofula. Without being disposed or deeming it necessary to go into the particulars of the case, 1 can sav that the astonishing results that have been produced by the use of that medicine on a member of my own family, and under my own observation and superintendence, after the skill of the best physicians had been exhausted and all tno usual remedies had failed, fully justify mein recommending its use to all who may be suffer ing from that dreadful malady. 1 do not mean to say that it is adapted to all constitutions, or that it will afford the same relief in all cases; for, of course, 1 know nothing about that—but from what l have seen of the ef fects, I would not hesitate to use it, in any and every case of Scrofula, with persons for whom. 1 felt an interest, or over whom 1 could exercise influence or control.

In its composi tion is embraced a combination of tbe must valuable and rfjec live Erpectoravts, Anodynes and Sedatives which are known to possess the highest repute with all intelligent members ol the Medical Profession. Nofact can be more self evident than that this preparation has already acquired high reputation and great popularity wherever it has been introduced. Assuming no extraordina ry pretensions, but relying solely upon itsown intrinsic virtues, this valuable medicine, invented and prepared by an experi enced; Southern Physician after many years of practical inves tigation and application,(has at length seemed the most un limited confidence, wherever it has been introduced,as acer tain remedial agent in all diseases of the respiratory organs.
