■circumstance may probably serve to. ex ■ plain the frequency of hepatic diseases in ■ habitual drunkards.” Alcohol Excluded!! I from the dinner at fanecil hall, on 1 OCCASION OF THE BuNK.EE HILL CELE BRATION ! ! We know not how to express our grati s I fication that the good sense and good I taste of the Committee of Arrangements I for that sumptuous occasion of the I Faneuil Dinner, “ did not permit that I popular personage, Alcohol, to take any B part in the festivities.” ' It was worthy indeed, the time and place, with all the glorious associations connected, that a national stand should be made, then and there, against the common enemy of the country, and that (the pure and lofty feelings of patriotism there fresh enkindled, should neither be sullied nor dishonored by the deadening, corrupting influences of Alcohol. We hope, moreover, this will give a tone to society in general in this particu lar, and that after this grand National dinner, none of your petty set outs, will be accounted inelegant, unfashionable— or ultra, on account of the absence of that ruination of hosts, guests and at- j tendants—Alcohol. One of the toasts, at that famous din- j «er, we observe as follows : *' The Tee-total Washingtonians, the only people who could throw cold water upon such a celebration.” To which we would respectfully rejoin, the only people, who could in one sense ; the last people who would in another. [6'. C. Temp. Adv. I Temperance In New York.—ln the city of New York more than eighty tem perance meetings are held every week, j Within two years more than 30,000, chiefly laborers, and many of them j I wretched drunkards, have signed the j I pledge in that city. Fact. —When you see the moderate 1 I drinker grasp the glass broadly with his hand, and turn the back of it toward the | landlord, that he may not see the quanti ty of liquor he has helped himself to, de pend upon it that fellow has passed the transition point, has crossed the Rubicon, and is no longer a moderate drinker, but on the quick march to drunkenness.— When you sec a man approve of temper ance in the abstract, and at the same time declare that lie don’t believe that a glass of good liquor, now and then, will hurt any man, and places great emphasis on the word good, set it down that that fellow loves rum, and that Old Alch has a mortgage on that fellow’s guzzle, and will foreclose it unless he can be brought to sign the pledge. Tiie Cabinet —President Tyler has reconstructed his Cabinet as follows: A. P. IJpshor, At*in>r Secretary of State, j' C. Spencer, Secretary of the Treasury. I). llenkiuw, Secretary of the Navy. J. M. Porter, Acting Secretary of War. C. A. Wickt. ffe, Post Master. General. John Nelson, Attorney General. The Reverted Lands.—We learn, that the Governor will not carry into im mediate execution that part of the act of the last Legislature, which authorized the sale of all land which reverted to the State on the Ist inst., by the grants not being taken out. It is the intention of the Governor, we learn, to await the ac tion of the next Legislature. This course has been adopted in consequence of the imperfection of the law—-as it appears, by reading one or two sections of it, that the Legislature intended to except the lands of orphans, for the present, from its operation, whereas other sections, and the last, have not that hearing. [Georgia Journal. Death of Gen. Eustis. —lt becomes our melancholy duty to announce (says ; the Boston Daily Times, of the 29th ult.) j the death of Brig. Gen. Abraham Eustis, of the United States Army, commander of the 6th Military Department. He died in Portland, Tuesday morning, at the Elm Hotel, at 7 o’clock, aged 57 years. He arrived in Portland on Tuesday last, from Charleston, S. C., somewhat out of health, but on Friday he was about at tending to his official duties. He died as a soldier should die, according to his expressed wish, at his post, and in the pertormance of his official duties. His disease, which was some form of conges tion on the brain, was very rapid in its progress. Col. Eustis (Brigadier-General by bre vet) has been in command ever since the new arrangement of the army was adopt ed. The general ceremonies took place yesterday forenoon. Gen. Eustis was a nephew of the late Gov. Wm. Eustis of this State, entered “ the army at the time Gov. Eustis was Secretary of War, and rose rapidly to its highest honors.

"iLJJJJgIIJL" Proceedings of Council. Council Chamber, ) July 6th, 1843. \ Present, The Hon. M. M. Dye, Mayor. Members—Miller, Greiner, Crump. Hibler, Hill, Phinizy, Philip, and Rob ertson. The following communication was re- j ceived and read, from James Gadsden, Esq., President South Carolina Canal & i Rail Road Company: Office of the S. C. C. & R. R. Company. To the Mayor and Members of the City Council of Augusta: The interests of the citizens of Augus ta, and of the South Carolina and Geor gia Rail Road Companies, are so deeply identified, that it has long been the desire of many to remove those barriers at the Savannah river, which seem to separate them. Repeated attempts have been' made to adjust this important object, as would best harmonize with the interests of all; and it is with this feeling, that I now approach your honorable and en lightened body, to ascertain the condi tions on which the South Carolina Com pany can accomplish a measure fully as j important to the city you represent, as to the Company whose organ, in this m ; stance, I profess to be. It would be de i sirable to ascertain from you: Ist. The conditions on which the , Bridge could be made free, in whole or in part, each party contributing to its future preservation. 2d. The conditions on which the South Carolina Rail Road Company would be permitted to pass over said Bridge, with i locomotive or horse power, as it may I elect, —and to establish a Depot in the ! City of Augusta. 3d. The condition on which the South Carolina Rail Road Compan- would be permitted to construct a common Trussel- I work of its own, disconnected with, and j at some point above or below the present ! Bridge, convenient for connecting with ! a Depot on the Augusta side of the river, i and to be used only by the Companies’ locomotives, and not to interfere with the present as a Toll Bridge. Your early response to this, will great ly oblige the undersigned ; and if a com mittee on behalf of the R. R. Company, to confer with one to be appointqd by your body, with instructions to treat and arrange this matter, be more acceptable to you, it shall be promptly attended to on our part, when notified of an appoint : ment in behalf of your city. Respectfully, your ob’dt serv’t, (Signed,) Jas. Gadsden, Pres’t. After the above was read, Dr. Robert son offered the following resolution, which was passed: Resolved, 'That the Mayor appoint a committee of five, to be selected from the members of Council and the citizens of Augusta, to confer with a similar com mittee on the part of the S. Carolina Rail Road Company, on the subject presented for consideration in the communication of Col. Gadsden, of the 28th June, and report the result of their negotiation to this body, which shall be submitted to a meeting of the citizens for final action thereon. .Messrs. F. M. Robertson, Wm. M. D’Antignac, J. G. McWhorter, Edward Thomas, and Benjamin 11. Warren, were appointed by the Mayor. Council adjourned. D. D. Macmurphy, Clerk. Important discovery in Mesmerism. —Dr. Collyer, of Philadelphia, has pub lished a book, to prove that when two persons looks into “a bowl of molasses,” at a certain angle, the thoughts of one are perceived by the other in the molas ses. We will furnish a bowl at any time, to any mesmerizer who will spare us a few ideas these hard times. And we will drink molasses and water as a beverage, | if he will tell us how to catch and embo i dy thoughts in it. —Columbia Planter. The Estate of Gen. Washington. —A correspondent of the Troy Whig states that the Mount Vernon estate, which was the home and embraces the tomb of Washington, may now be bought for 820,000. It comprises about 1,000 acres of land, twelve miles or so south of Washington City, but under poor culti vation, and the buildings much dilapida ted. Gen. Washington’s garden re mains, including many of the trees he planted and the plants he imported. The site is beautiful, though the land is greatly overgrown with bushes. Important Improvement in Dag uerreotype Painting. —Mr. Whitney, in writing to a friend in this city, says that “ Clinton, the chemist, has within a few days past, succeeded in fixing (by an after process) the colors of flesh’, drapery, flowers, Spc., with all the strength and vividness of nature. I have seen forty or fifty specimens which rival in tint the most finished efforts of the pencil.”— St. i Louis Republican. A Monster. —The Natchez Courier, of June 15lh, says—The following des- 1 cription of a monster, caught by Capt. 1 Dorsey, of the steamer Patrick Henry, i | near Lake Marinqua, Attakapas, is given in the Bayou Sara Chronicle: “ The head, shoulders and arms, like that of a man, only the eyes very large, with one in the forehead, the other back or direct ly opposite. The body, from arras to ! waist, that of fish, being covered with | scales of a indescribable color—From the waist down, that of a beast, with cloven feet, grizzly long hair, and tail nine feet long—when undisturbed, carries its tail round the neck, resembling a cravat— when standing erect is between four and five feet high.” Imagination. —The great old writer, Thomas Fuller, relates a curious incident, which is truly characteristic, showing how fancy will put life into young lambs, and confirms the old adage, that “ con ceit is as good as a consumption.” A gentleman, he says, having led a compa ny of children beyond their usual jour ney, they began to be weary, and jointly cried to him to carry them—which, lie cause of their multitude, he could not do, but he told them he would provide them with horses to ride on. Then cutting little wands out of the hedge, as nags for them, and a larger one for himself, they mounted, and those who could scarcely stand before, now, full mirth bounded chcerfuly home. A German paper says that death by | prussic acid is at first apparent, life being immediately restored by pouring acetate of potash and common salt, dissolved in water, on the head of the spine. DOMESTIC DEPARTMENT. Receipt for making good Bread.— Suppose the quantity to be twenty-five pounds of flour. Put this flour into a trough. Take six quarts of potatoes; pare them, and boil them. When cook ed sufficiently, drain off the water ; pound them fine; then add four or five quarts of water; stir it well, and strain off through a cullender, adding a little more than half a pint of good fresh yeast. Then work in flour around the outside with a spoon, by degrees, enough to make it form a thin batter; stir the batter well for a minute or two; scatter over a handful of flour ; then cover the whole with a cloth to be kept moderately warm until it rises. When the sponge is light add two quarts of w arm milk or water, a handful of salt, and a spoonful of salara tus dissolved. Now work the sponge and flour into dough as quickly ns possi ble. In order to have good bread, knead . it thoroughly, as much depends upon this part of the process at this time. Now form it into a lump in the centre of the trough; sprinkle it with flour; spread over it a cloth, and let it rise. The oven should be made hotter than necessary, and allowed to cool down after being cleared, so that a handful of f|our thrown in will not burn, but turn a brown colour. The loaves may be formed while trying the temperature of the oven, and bo put in soon after. If the loaves are larrm, it will require a little over an hour to bake them sufficiently. The best time to sot the sponge is early in the morning, or late in the evening. It will be well to look into the oven occasionally.— Southern Gardener and Receipt Book. Light Corn Bread.— Stir four pints of meal into three pints of warm water, add one large teaspooaful of salt, let it rise five or six hours, then stir it up with the hand, and bake it in a brisk oven. Another method is to make mush, and before it gets cold, stir in half a pint of meal. Let it rise, and bake as the first. [lb- Corn meal rusk.— Take six cupsful of corn meal, four of wheat flour, two cupsful of molasses, and one tea spoonful of salaratus; mix the whole together, and knead into dough; then make two cakes. Bake them as you would pone for three fourths of an hour, and you will have one of the most grateful descriptions of bread that ever graced the table. Ib. To stop Blood. —lt has been found that soot applied to a fresh wound will not only stop the bleeding, but ease the pain.— N. Y. Farmer. Cockroaches. —One of the principal j methods we have seen recommended for destroying cockroaches, is, to boil poke root until you get a very strong liquor, mix this with molasses and put the mix ture in soup plates or flat dishes in the closets or pantries infested by these ver min. A correspondent of the Boston Gazette says that ho killed 575 of them 1 in one night by this plan. Chinese method of mending China. —Take a piece of flint glass, beat it to a fine powder, and grind it well with the white of an egg, and it joins china with- 1 out riveting, so that no art can break it in the same place. You are to observe | that the composition is to be ground ex- j tremely fine on a painter’s stone. AUGUSTA Plt I C E~S * s ;a~ CUR It EXT, §■ I Carcfollt Corrected Weeklt. §• Bacg.ng, Hemp Tow.
