CONSTITUTIONALIST.
ATTGUJSTA, GA,
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 19,1866.
NO TEST OATH REPRESENTATION.
We liod prepared for this days issue an ar
ticle which in some degree yielded that posi
tion of antagonism toward the Philadelphia
Convention heretofore occupied by this paper.
To the extent of saying we do not now believe
the prime movers in this tiling will insist on
applying the test of “ loyalty ” to Southern
delegates, we permit that article to see light,
but, further, it is buried in the tomb of the
Capulets. Wc are ashamed of ourselves for
having written it, and impose this public con
fession of weakness upon us as a fit penance for
having childishly yielded our own convictions
of right to a noisy outerv.
This Convention is a mere means to an
end. Who can or who can not go to it is a
mere side issue. The real point in question is
Congressional Representation on the basis of
the Federal Constitution. Do those who
manipulate this Convention matter promise us
that one thing needful V Let us sec. Here is
what the Call says:
“ Each House of Congress is made by the
Constitution the sole judge of the election re
turns and qualifications of its members, but the
exclusion of loyal Senators and Representatives
properly chosen and qualified under the Con
stitution and laws, is unjust and revolution
ary.”
Here is what flic Platform of the National
Union Club says:
7. Resolved , That all tin; States of the Union
are entitled by the Constitution of the United
States u> representation in the councils of the
nation, and that all loyal members duly elected
and returned, haying the requisite qualifications
as prescribed by law ,’ should be admitted to their
seats in Congress, without unnecessary delay
by their respective Houses, each House being
the judge of the election, returns and qualifica
tions of its own members.”
Now let us see what all this means. Lotus
dispel all this glamour about “ patriotic convo
and go to the root of the matter. Senator Hen
dricks, it will be remembered, is one of the
four gentlemen who approved the call for this
Convention. Now this Mr. Hendricks was
put upon the rack by the Radicals on Friday
last, six days since, in the Senate, and this is
what they got out at him in reference to the
Test Oath :
“ Mr. Hendricks, (in response to Mr. Trumbull,
Radical.)
u lt may suit the Senator’s purpose on the hus«ug/>,
but it will hardly suit his purpose here to say that I,
or any who are with eye in opinion , are now arlvoca-
Jing the admission to scats in this body or the House
of Representatives of persons directly connected with
the rebellion. The Senate knows very well that there
now stands upon the statute book of the United States
and upon the rules of the Senate, a provision requir
ing every person who takes a seat io the Senate to
take a solemn oath.
Mr. TnfM#jn.L -Is tho Senator from Indiana in fa
vor of that f.'W and that rule J
Mr. IlENDkifK* »aid his votes would best express
his views on that question. He. hail not ashed to repeal
the, law. i/oes the Senator from Illinois consent to its
repeal?
Mr. Trumbcll—Certainly not. Will the Senator
from Indiana help me to keep it in force.
Mr. Hendricks replied that while the la w remained;
although he might have doubts as to its constitu
tionality, he would not vote for the admission of any
man who could not take the prescribed oath, lb be
(Hendricks) knew a man to be unable to take that
oath, lie would be opposed to his admission. The
question was, however, not whether rebels should
take seats in Congress, it was not whether any man
•who lias been connected with the rebellion in any way,
ibe admitted ; it was whether men selected by competent
authority in the Southern States should be admitted.
He (Hendricks) was not in favor of the admission of
Alexander H. Stephens or llerschei. V. Johnson
while the test-oath stood; if they could take that
oath, he would be in favor of their admission.
Mark this, men of Georgia, Senator Hend
niCb'3 is one of the high priests in this Conven
tion, but he would clap the Iron Gtod without
mercy to your Senators, il their cases came up
before him. Now do you, as reasonable nteu,
suppose that if Ditch are his views on this all
important topic lie would have endorsed this
Call had he not supposed it to embody the
same opinion V And herd in another matter
worthy ol your attention. Read tills extract
from u Washington letter bearing date the
fourteenth and appearing in tin* Charleston
Courier of yesterday. It is written by Leo, an
old correspondent who lias lived in the
Federal Capital, and enjoys a deservedly high
reputation for reliability. This is what he says:
“The Convention will insist that the South
ern States, standing in a loyal attitude, are en
titled to he represented in Congress. They
consider the test inexpedient and un
constitutional, but,d|Btt die inw requiring it Is
repealed, they Southern members
elected should he compelled to take it. The
law requiring the oath is not likely to be re
pealed until some or all of the eleven Southern
States shall lie represented.”
Now wliat docs all tills mean? Representa
tion on the basis of the Test Oath, is’nt it 1
And don’t you say amen to every word of the
Richmond Enquirer's indignant declaration;
on Hendricks position, that “ in the presence of
siicli facts it is vain, it is foolish, it is wicked,
to shut our eyes to the truth tlmt the represen
tation claimed for the South in the Philadelphia
Convautiou is test-oath representation, and noth
ing more.”
Are you quite ready for this sort of thing V
We fancy not, hut as it seems that there will be
-a delegation sent from Geokoia, would it not
he a good plan, to instruct your representatives
First— To cast the vote of this Stale as a unit ,
and
Secondly — To solemnly declare that Georgia
claims representation in the Federal govern
ment on the basis of the Constitutional requisi
tions and qualifications alone, and in repudia
tion of all proscriptive test oaths."
This latter suggestion is given in the lan
guage of a famous resolution offered some days
since in Virginia, and now, as we hear, meet
ing much acceptance in that State. If you will
go into this Convention, go in with a protest
against all proscriptive test oaths and the bless
ing of God go with you. Stick to the Federal
•Constitution and you are safe. Stand square
up and these men will give you yourown terms
for they need you as much as you need them.
Benedek. —The Austrian army, as is well
known, is in the hands of the aristocracy ol the
Empire. It is sufficient of itself, therefore, to
establish the character of Uenedek to state that
he is the son of a butcher, a Protestant, and a
Hungarian. Moreover, he has been granted by
the Emperor the most absolute power over all
the armies of the Empire during the present
war, a power which he uses by sending all the
Archdukes and Dukes out of the Army of the
North and replacing them by parvenus of talent
like himself, and by keeping, it is said, even
from the Emperor, his plan of campaign. The
battle of Solferino, seven years ago, was com
manded by the Emperor Francis Joseph in per
son, and nearly every division of the army was
in the hands of a man who owed his position
to his high rank. Poor Benedek, who fought
well his wing of the army, but who was witness
of his master’s bad management, cried with
rage. If the middle, and especially the left
wing of the Austrian army, had been as well
bandied that day as was the right wing on the
heights of San Martino, it is not so certain (hat,
the French would have gained the battle.

Forney’s Friend.— Edwin Forrest, the great
tragedian, and especial friend of Foruey, seems
to have made rather a failure on the California
boards. Not that he didn’t play about as well
as ever—he is said to have done a little better
than he was accustomed to do in ids younger
days—but the Ckliforuiaus, on a recent occa
sion, forgot to call him before the curtain, when
they paid that compliment to other actors, and
his friends are indignant, declaring that all
taste in matters dramatic lias fled the Pacitic
coast. Forrest ought to take the hint given
him in California and abandon the stage.
The "Thomson Guards.”—A little remnant
of eleven of the “ Thomson Guards,” the com- 1
pany which was commanded by the late Lieut.
Col>,Van Valkenburg, were present yesterday
as mourners on tin; occasion of the funeral of
their beloved flrst Captan. It was a melancholy
sight—only eleven out of some hundred who
went to the war Captain Van Valken
burg. These brave men walked close behind
the remains of the deceased, and. doubtless fell
it a privilege to occupy the place ol' honor as
signed to them.— Macon Citizen.
At the late battle of G'uslozza, which Victor
Emanuel says he “ neither lost nor won,” the

fare since the invention of guns and pistols.

The Atlantic Cable,
The Expedition About to Leave England—Pro
gramme of Operations—The Imprrovemcnts on
Board the Great Eastern, etc., etc.
If any illustration were ever needed to show
the unflinching determination of English enter
prise, no more signal example could lie pointed
out than in t he repeated costly and almost year
ly efforts made to establish permanent electri
cal communication between tlds country and
America, Within a week from this date the
liftli expedition organized lor this purpose will
leave England, it is needless to say how un
happily the expedition ot last year failed, and
to this day it is not known whether the injury
to the cable’s insulation was caused by accident
or wanton mischief. The commercial loss upon
these failures lias been great; but eveu out ol
(lie evil has eoiue some good, for in the interim
the science of making, tesliug, and laying cables
lias so much improved that an undetected fault
in an insulated wire lias now become literally
impossible, while so much are the instruments
for signalling improved that not only can a
slight fault be disregarded if necessary, hut it
is even easy to work through a submarine wire
with a foot of its copper conductor stripped
and bare to the water. This latter result, as
tonishing as it may appear, lias actually been
achieved lor some days past with the whole At
lantic cable on hoard the Great Eastern. Out
of a length of more than one thousand seven
hundred miles, a coil has been taken from its
centre, the copper conductor stripped clean of
its insulation for a foot in length, aud in this
condition lowered over the vessel’s side till it
rested on the ground. Yet through this the
clearest signals have been sent—so clear, indeed,
as at one time to raise the question whether it
would not be wortli while to grapple for the
first old Atlantic cable ever laid, and, witli these
new instruments working gently throught it
for a year or so, at least, make it pay cost.—
Nothing, in fact, can give a better idea of the
change which lias come over the science of sub
marine telegraph than by the statement of the
manner in which the three cables ol 1858,1865,
and that of this year have been constructed.—
The actual constituents of each is as follows :
conductors.
Conductor in ISSB.—A copper strand, con
sisting of seven wires (six laid round one) and
weighing 10T lbs. per nautical mile.
Ditto, 1865. —Copper strand, consisting of
seven wires (six laid round one) and weighing
300 lbs. per nautical mile, embedded for solidi
ty in Chatterton’s compound. Guage of single
wire .047-ordinary 18 guage. Guage of strand
.144 -ordinary No. 10 guage.
Ditto in 1860. —Same.
INSULATION.
Insular in 185S.—Guttapercha laid on in three
coverings, and weighing 201 lbs. per knot.
Insulation in 1865. —Guttapercha, four layers
of which are laid on alternately witli lour thin
layers of Chatterton’s compound. The weight
of the entire insulation, 400 lbs. per nautical
mile. The diameter ol core, .464; circumfer
ence of core, 1,393.
EXTERNAL PROTECTION.
External protection in 1858.—18 strands ol
charcoal iron wire, each strand composed ol
seven wires (six laid round one) laid spirally
round the core, which latter was previously
padded with a serving of hemp, saturated with
a tar mixture. The separate wires were each
22% guage; the strand ppmpletc was No. 14
guage.
Ditto, 1865.—Ten solid wires of the guage
.095 (No. 13 guage) drawn from Webster and
Horsfall’s homogeneous iron, each wires sur
rounded separately with five strands of Manil
la yarn, saturated with a preservative com
pound, and the whole laid spirally round the
core, which tatter is padded with jute yarn,
saturated with preservative mixture.
Ditto, 1866.—Ten solid wires of the guage
095 (No. 13 guage,) drawn lrom Webster and
Horsfall’s homogeneous iron, and galvanized,
each wire surrounded separately with five
strands of vnliif.fi Manilla yarn, and the whole
laid spirally round the Coro, ftT.jeji latter is
padded with ordinary hemp, saturated witli
preservative mixture.
WEtGIIT IN AIR.
Weight in Air in 1858.—20 cwt. per nautical
miie.
Ditto, 1865.—-35 cwt. 3 qrs. per nautical mile.
Ditto, 1866.—31 cwt. per miutieai mile.
WEIGHT IN WATER.
Weight in water in 1858.—18.4 cwt. per nauti
cal mile.
Ditto, 1865.—14 cwt. per nautical mile.
Ditto, 1866.—ewt. per nautical mile.
BREAKING STRAIN.
Breaking Strain ip 1858.—3 toiiß 5 cwt., or
equal to 4.85 times its weight ip water per
knot; that is to say, the cable would bear its
own weight in a little less titan five miles depth
of water.
Ditto, 1865.—7 tons 15 cwt., or equal to
eleven times its weight in water per knot; that
is to say, the cable will bear its own weight in
eleven miles depth of water.
Ditto, 1860.—8 tons 3 pjyt.. or equal to 12
times its weight in water per iyiiot; that is to
say, the. cable will bear its own weight in 12
miles depth of water.
PKEI’KBT WATEIt TO BE ENCOUNTEKISD.
Deepest \V4ipY to he Encountered, 1858.
2,400 fathoms.
Ditto, 1805.-2,400 fathoms.
Ditto, 1800.-2,400 fathoms.
OOKTIIAC'T STRAIN.
Contract (Jtpiiu, 1858.—Equal to 4.85 times
its weight, per natnn-.d |||i|e in water.
Ditto, 1805.- Equal to 11 tunes ffj? jy eight per
nautical mile in water.
Ditto, 1800. Equal to 12 times its weight per
nautical mile in water.
LV.NuTg OE CABLE SHIPPED.
Length Os cable shipped, ic.Vi, ‘.‘,171 nautical
miles.
Ditto, shipped, 1805, 2,200 nautical miles.
Ditto, to be shipped, to complete bulb lines,
1800, 2,7.80 Indus.
From the improvement ytdiicli these compar
ative cables show, both in the increased strength
of the rope, its increased conductivity by the
enlarged copper wire, and, above all, by its in
creased and more carefully guarded insulation,
any one will be able to see at a glance what
strides have been made toward ultimate perfec
tion. But it is chiefly in what cannot be seen,
nor even easily explained to the general reader,
in the instruments for detecting faults, mul for
working through them when they are detected,
that tlie main progress lias been made, and in
this, the expedition, which will start next week,
is as perfect as Uiu pp.epent high condition of
electrical science can make it.
The Great Eastern will leave Sheeruess early
on the morning of Saturday next. During the
past winter, Captain Auderson and Mr. Halpin,
itis chief officer, have worked almost inces
santly to get her into perfect seagoing trim,
and she will start nest week in better condition
than she has ever before commenced a voyage.
By a very simple apparatus, invented by Cap
tain Anderson, every part of the bottom ol the
ship lias been thoroughly scrubbed ; and bow
much Ibis was wanting, may be judged from
tlie fact that in many parts the mussels were in
clusters of more than two feet thick upon her.
Getting rid of this rough, shapeless mass from
her entire length will add at least a knot an
hour to the vessel’s speed. All the boilers have
been thoroughly cleaned and repaired in every
.part, and the paddle-engines by n very simple
contrivance ear, be disconnected in less than
four minutes, so that by going ahead with one
and astern with the other, the Great Eastern
can be turned in her own length, as on a pivot.
In picking up, or grasping lor cable, this facili
ty will be of the very last importance to the
operations. All the cable is not yet ou board
the great ship. The Amethyst is now discharg
ing into the aftermost tank, 41)4 all tlie cable
she lias will be coiled away this evening. Tlie
Iris, which left Greenwich yesterday, with the
last instalment of electrical rope, will finish her
task by Thursday, ou which day there will be
no less tliuu 'd.-jOO miles of cable on board tlie
Great Eastern, of which 748 miles is part of the
old cable of last year. This is stowed, as here
tofore, in the three immense iron tanks, built
up from the main deck, one forward, one amid
ships, and one aft of the vessel. The weight of
these tanks and the water in them is upwards
of 1,000 tons, and in addition tlie Great Eastern
will carry 8,500 tons of coal, 500 tons of tele
graph stores and machinery, and 4,000 tons of
cable—a dead-weight cargo of more than 14,000
tons in all, exclusive of engines, rig, and all
ship’s fittings, which will amount to nearly
as much more. This, however, only brings
the vessel down to her fair loadline—
in fact, into the perfect trim in which she
left last year, when the utmost swell of an an
gry Atlantic sea could do little more than
make her dip occasionally among its rugged
furrows. It iias be.cn thought advisable, how
ever, considering tlie Great Eastern’s deptli in
the water, and the somewhat shallow channels
she will have to pass on her way to the river’s
month, not to put all the coals in her before she
leaves Sheerness. At Benrhavcn, therefore,
2,500 tons will be taken on board before she
starts for Valentin, aud after joining the shore
end steams away on her adventurous voyage
across the Atlantic. Except, then, in this mat
ter of coals she will leavo the Thames com
pletely equipped. Among her stores are 20
miles of grappling rope of the most powerful
kind that can be made, and equal to a strain of
80 tons. She also carries five miles of rope,
equal to a strain of 11 tons, with quite a collec
tion of buoys, grappling irons, slip ropes, &c.
But at the stem aud Stern are fitted two power
ful little engines, made by Messrs. Penn, each
of which works up to 80-hprso power. These
are connected with the paying opt and hauling
in apparatus. Both these latter have been
slightly improved since last year, and have been
made as light as possible consistent with tlie
work they have to do. Certainly, the hauling
in powers of the engines are likely to be much
in excess of what is required to bo dope. Last
year their efforts fell short of what was neces
sary. With the Great Eastern, on Saturday
next, will also start her Majesty’s steamship
Terrible, 21, and the steamers William C’orry,
Albauy, aud Medway. Each of these vessels is
of nearly 1,800 tons burden, and ail, with the
exception of the Terrible, will be amply sup
plied with buoys, buoy ropes, grappling ropes,
and grappling irons similar to those on board
tlie Great Eastern- The Medway will take also
315 miles of last year’s cable, with 91 miles of
the massive rope to be used in crossing from
Newfoundland to the shore ol the American
continent. The William Curry takes the tre
mendous iron coil which is to form the Irish
shore end, which is no less than 30 miles in
length, and weighs more than 250 tous, or about
Eight tons to the mile-
The programme of operations now deOided
upon 1* briefly as follows : The Great Eastern
is, as we have said, to proceed to Bcarhaven op
Saturday next. There she will take on board
her final stores of coal, and while so occupied
the new shore-end from Foilhomnierum Bay
will be laid from the William Corry. When
this is completed—and the operation is likely
to last two days—the Great Eastern will come
round to Valeutia, and after having made the
splice, will at once commence the great work
ol laying the main cable. Lastyear,lt is fancied,
that the speed of the Great Eastern was oc
casionally too great for safely [laying ont the
rope. This time, therefore, her rate of going
will lie absolutely limited to below six knots.—
At this speed it will occupy eleven or twelve
days to complete her labors from Valentia Bay
to Heart’s Content. During the whole time of
the operation the new Instruments will he able
to send signals through to Valentia at every
hour slating the latitude aud longitude ol the
great ship, the weather, amount of cable paid
out, »fce. Ordinary news and messages likely
to interest those at sea and isolated from the
rest of the world are also to be sent in reply
from Ireland to the Great Eastern. Vessels
have already been fsentfoul to Newfoundland
with 3,000 tons of coal, aud, supposing the ex
pedition to be successful, the Great Eastern will
lake these on board and return to the spot
where the cable was so unfortunately broken
last year. This is to itb grappled for, and, even
if six weeks or two months arc consumed in
Hie efforts, grappled for til! found. If the end
is got to the surface, or course the usual splice
will he made witli the portions which are now
stowed on board the Great Eastern and the
William Corry, when the big ship will agnin re
turn to Heart s Content Bay and lay the remain
der ol her passage. .Thus, if all goes well, the
month of September, at latest, will see us with
two lines of telegraph to America, aud both of
which, when once down in deep water, are
likely to remain in order for years to come.—
The arrangements made for raising Hie cable of
last year are as perfect as can well lie imagined.
We shall describe them and other matters of
much interest connected with the expedition on
an early day. At present we have only given
an outline of the programme of action laid
down for one of the best fitted and most im
portant telegraphic expeditions that ever quit
ted the English shores.

A Good Dinner
A few days ago wc happened iu at one of our
neighbors about noon. The ladies very politely
asked us.to dine witli them—which invitation
we very uucermouiously accepted, as we ex
pected to get something good. We sat down
to a beautiful table perfectly loaded witli rich,
delicious vegetables. The lady soon remarked
that they had no meals as but one of their family
ate meat and lie was absent. We thought that
for this country it was a novel situation and
never dreamt that such a custom could ever he
introduced into Georgia, that people must be
poor indeed who could not afford animal food,
i ut here was one of our most intelligent, wealth
iest families that had incut in abundance who had
discarded it almost eutirely from their table. We
bad exhausted nearly all of our available
means to keep a supply of steak, chickens or
occasionally a piece of lamb for our own table.
We really expected that we might wish a piece
of ham or a slice of middling before wc satisfied
the cravings of the inner man. All a miserable
mistake, a total fallacy. We never ate a more
satisfactory dinner in our lives. The vegetables
were highly seasoned and thoroughly cooked.
The squash, the Irish potato, okra, &c., were
delicious and tlie siaugli and cucumbers elegant
ly prepared—beautiful bread wiih sweet fresh
buttermilk, were enough for any man. Then
the richest Irnit dessert served with rich cream
—satiated ns completely. The whole conclud
ed with a highly flavored cup of coffee.
We have been satisfied for years that our peo
ple used too much meat, and especially in sum
mer months—and believe the general health of
the country would be greatly improved .fa vege
table diet were more generally adopted. Wc see
from exchanges that the meat question is becom
ing a serious one iu some sections of the State.
It is so in Morgan county, and our farmers
ire repining at the prospect of a slim pork crop.
Let us learn to use less meat. We can dispense
with half the quantity we daily consume. But
very little is needed at breakfast— custom re
quires that, we should have meat for dinner and
good health demands a total abstinence at sup
per. Then let the meat question lost. Every
family should purchase a gross of air-tight jars
—put up enough vegetables for the winter and
they can live better—with less expense and
many more years, and life itself would he hap
pier than when we saturate the whole system
with the strong, unhealthy contents of a Georgia
smoke-house. We will become a leas swinish
people. This is a new doctrine to many who
may read these remarks, but it will bear inves
tigation and the conclusion will become evi
dent. There are many men who may incon
siderately discard these views, and reaily at one
time we had the audacity to treat the grunter
along the streets as a perfect gentleman and as
if lie demanded our highest respect—but wc
have determined to abandon our hoggish ways
and never again heporpe qq utUttiier of the dirty,
filthy porker.
Hall, in bis Journal of Health, gives the fol
lowing hit of wisdom:
Bread and butter are the only articles of
food of which we never lire from early child
hood to extreme old age. A pound of line
flour or Indian meal contains throe times ap
miieh meat as one pqjtnd qf butcher's roast
beef; aiui if the whole product of thegrain,bran
and all, were made into bread, fifteen per cent,
more of nutriment would be added. Unfortu
nately the bran, tin*, coarsest part of which gives
soundness to the teeth and strength to the brain,
is generally excluded.
Five hundred pounds of f|oi|r gives to the
body thirty pounds or the liony aliment, while
*he - OIIC
hundred and twenty-five pounds.
The bone is lime, the indispensable aliment
of health to the whole human body, from the
want, of the natural supply of which multitudes
of persons go into a general decline.
But swallowing phosphate in the shape hi
powder or in syrup for these declines, have
little or no eftoct. The articles contained in
these phosphates must pass through nature’s
laboratory and subject to her manipulations
in nhnnblp* specially prepared by Almighty
power aud skill, fn plainer phrase, the short
est, safest and infallable method of giving
strength to the. body, bone and brain, thereby
arresting disease, and building up the constitu
tion is to eat and digest more bread made out
of the whole grain, whether wheat, rye or oats.
Eastern Saxony and Bavaria.— lt is cer
tainly preposterous, as a London journal sagely
observes, for writers who are no strategists to
furnish forth campaigns and plans of cam
paigns for readers who are no geographers.—
But it is important for all persons who wish
to keep abreast of the age in which they live to
inform themselves as accurately as may be of
the actual and probable progress of a war which
threatens pr which promises, as the reader
pleases, lo revolutionize the whole political
system of Central Europe. To-day our chief
interest centres on (hose remote regions of
Eastern Saxony aud Bohemia in 'which the
main armies of Prussia and of Austria are ar
rayed and maumuvrelng against eacli other to
wards a collision which can hardly be loner de
ferred, and which, when it comes, must be in
deed tremendous. But in the western regions
of Southern Germany there is another formida
ble army with which Prussia, sooner or later,
will be called on to measure herself. The joint
army of Bavaria and of the Federal Diet, in
numbers more nearly approaching two than
one hundred thousand men, and commanded
by Pi'iuce Charles, of Bavaria, a soldier formed
lathe wars against the first Napoleon, and vig
orous enough still iu his green old age to give
the Prussian Generals abundant occupation.—
A movement against Mayencc would be a
movement against this antagonist; and if it
should be made, it may be regarded as the be
ginning of a* conflict iu Western Germany
hardly inferior in interest and importance to
that which Prussia is now waging in the East.
[ World.
The Cause of the Destruction of Port
land.—Many persons have expressed surprise
that, with such an eiHcient fire department as
was possessed at Portland, so destructive a fire
should have occurred. If a statement made in
the Louisville Journal is correct, this is fully
accounted for. That paper states that on ac
count of the celebration of Independence, the
firemen were on the race course, some, distance
from the city. The Journal says:
A woman saw the fire and gave the alarm,
when a pail of water would have quenched it;
but before the water was forthcoming, the
building was in flames.
Ten minutes had not elapsed before the old
ship was ablaze; but all Portland was busy
with the 4th of July festivities—and why
trouble because an old boat house is burning ?
Meantime, the south w ind was stiffening to a
gale, and the gale almost to a hurricane.
The wind carried in its many hands showers
of cinders eastward arid northward. In ten
minutes the next shop east was ablaze, and iu
twenty minutes Brown’s extensive sugar house
.was in flames. The scene soon became terri
ble. The burning of the immense stock of su
gars and molasses in this immense establish
ment added blackness as a pall over the city.
Dense volumes of black smoke rolled north
ward, bearing embers for other fires. The
shower of fire fell in every direction to the
north and northeast in a diagonal line across
the city.
The fire burns till there is nothing but grass
to burn. It reaches water or space spanning
the city. On Munjoy a grave yard stops its
progress. The fire lias driven hundreds of
women aud children thither. Here among the
graves they sit. It is a sight ope will not care
to linger over.
3 Here, is the story of Prince Christian’s court
ship. Prince Christian is the youth who was
to marry the Princess Helena ou j uly 5. Queen
Victoria, at the iuauguration of a statue to the
Prince Consort, saw a gentleman wiping his
eyes and looking very much affected, aud asked
who he was. It proved to be Prince Christian
of Schleswig-Holstein. From that hour the
Queen took the almost unknown, unnoticed,
and penniless young Prince into favor, and
finally bestowed upon him the hand of her
daughter. Not, however, without the consent
of the young Princess herself, w’ho shares her
mother’s enthusiastic admiration for this ten
der-hearted Prince, who, like some hero of a
fairy tale, won a royal bride by an appropriately
dropped tear.
A Vessel arrived at San Francisco the other
day from the Sea of Okhotsk, with thirty-one
thousand codfish. Let Cape Cod read and
tremble.

The miasma whicli generates epidemic levers is now
rising in clouds under the blazing beams of the dog-day
*uu. Every living body, as well a* refuse animal and
vegetable matter, emits unwholesome vapors, and in
crowded cities, and the dense assemblages which busi
ness and pleasure call together, the elements of disease
are evolved. The pressure upon every vital organ is
never so great as in the second and third months of sum
mer, and common sense teaches us that these orgaus re
quire to be reinforced to meet it.
We hold our, lives, so to speak, ou a repairing lease,
and this is the season when the process of dilapidation
is most rapid and repairs are most required. Therefore
build up, prop and sustain the powers oj nature with
that mighty vegetable recuperant,
HOSTETTER’S BITTEUS.
He who takes it may be said to clothe himself in
sanitary mail, against which epidemic disease will hurl
its poisoned shafts in vain. This is no gratuitous asser
tion, but a great medical fact , attested by twelve
years’ experience in every climate of the habitable globo
Extremes of temperature always disturb the functions of
the atouvu'h, the bowels, the liver and the skin. It is
through these that the most dangerous maladies assail
us. Tone them in advance with IIOSTETTER’S BIT

A New aud Grand Epoch In Medicine !
Dr. Maggihl is the founder of a new Medical System !
The quautitarians, whose vast internal doses enfeeble
the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give prece
dence to the man who restores health and appetite, with
from one to two of his extraordinary Pills, aud cures the
most virulent sores with a box or so of his wonderful aud
all healing Salve. These two great specifics of the Doctor
arc fast superseding all the stereotyped nostrums of the
day. Extraordinary cures by Maggiel's Pills and Salve
have opened the eyeN of the public to the inefficiency of
the (so called) remedies of others, und upon which people
have so long blindly depeuded. Maggiel’s Pills are not
of the class that are swallowed by the dozen, and of
which every box full taken creates an absolute necessity
lor another. One or two of Maggiel’s Pills suffices to
place the bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach,
create an appetite, aud render the spirits light and buoy
ant 1 There is no griping, and no reaction iu the form of
coustipation. If the liver is affected, its functions are
restored; and if the nervous system is feeble, it invigo
rated. This last quality makes the medicines very desi
rable for the wants of delicate females. Ulcerous aud
eruptive diseases are literally extinguished by tho disen
fectaut power of Maggiel’s Salve. In fact, it is here an
nounced that Maggiel's Bilious , Dyspeptic and Diarrhea
Pills cure where all others fail. While for Burns, Scalds,
Chilblains, Cuts and all abrasions of the skin, Maggiel's
Salve is infallible.

CONSTITUTION
LIFE SYRUP,
COMPOSBD OK
IODIDE OF POTASH 111 M ,
With the Compound Concentrated Fluid Extract
of Valuable Medicinal Roots and Herbs.
PREPARED BY
WILLIAM H. GREGG, M. D.,
Graduate of the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, New York; formerly Assistant
Physician in the Blackwell’s
Island Hospital.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
HAS PRODUCED A REVOLUTION IN
MEDICINE.
What may seem almost incredible Is, that many dis
eases hitherto considered hopelessly incurable aro fre
quently cured in a few days or weeks; and wo checr
tully invite the investigations of the liberal minded
and scientific to cures which have no parallel at the
present day. ,
During the past five years we have contended with
obstacles and overcome opposition as herculean a«
were ever encountered by any reformers.
RAPIDITY OF CURE.
Some say, “ Your cures are too quick,” while others
doubt their peruianonce, aud think that diseases can
only be cured by the slow, recuperative process of Na
tUTTils la our reply: In health, the body, like a well
balanced scale, is in a state of equilibrium. But when,
from any cause, down goes one side of the scale, we
liuvti the effects of diseuse. Wliat in requisite in to im
store the normal balance of the scale.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Is a positive and specific remedy for all diseases origi
nating from an Impure Statu of the Blood, ami for all
(hereditary) Diseases transmitted from parent to child.
PARALYSIS.
It is so universally admitted that Constitution Life
Syrup is the only effective means of restoration in the
various forms ot Paralysis, that wo need not reiterate
that it is emphatically tho great Life-giving Power.
DYSPEPSIA.
Indigestion, Weight at Stomach, Flatulctice,
Liver Complaint, Want of Appetite, Bad
Breath, Constipation, Biliousness.
SCROFULA.
Struma, King's Evil, Glandular Swellings, Ery
sipelas, Ulceration, Salt Rheum.
This taint (hereditary and acquired) tilling life with
untold misery, Is by all usual medical remedies incu
rable.
RHEUMATISM.
[Arthritis, | Lumbago, Neuralgia, Sciatica,
Gout, Tic Doloreaux.
If there is any disease in which tho Constitution
Life Syrup is a sovereign, it is Rheumatism and its
kindred affections. Tiie most intense pains are almost
Instantly alleviated—enormous swollings aro reduced.
Cases, chronic or vicarious, of iwedty or forty years’
standing have boen cured by us.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Purges the system entirelv from all the evil effects of
Mercury, removing the Rad Breath and curing the
Weak Joints and Rheumatic l'ains which the use of
Calomel is sure to produce. It hardens Spongy Gums,
nnd secures tho Teeth as firmly ns ever.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP.
Eradicates, root and branch, all Eruptive Diseases of
the Skin, like
ULCERS, riaPLHS, BLOTCnBS,
And all other difficulties of this kind, which so much
disfigure the outward appearance of both males and
females, ofton making them disgusting objects to
themselves and lhelr friends.
For all forms of Ulcerative Diseases,
Either of tho Nose, Throat, Tongue, Spine, Forehead,
or scalp, no remedy has ever proved its equal.
Moth Patches upon the female face, depending upon
a diseased action of tho Liver, are very unpleasant to
tho young wife and mother. A few bottles of Consti
tution Life Syrup will correct tho secretion and re
move the deposits, which is directly under the skin.
Diseases of the Liver, giving rise to Languor, Dizzi
ness, Indigestion, Weak Stomach, or an ulcerated or
cancerous condition of that organ, accompanied witli
burning or other unpleasant symptoms, will be re-’
lieved by the use of
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP.
As a General Blood Purifying Agent, tho Life Syrup
stands unrivalled by any preparation iu the world.
THE RICH AND POOR
Are liablo to tho same disease. Nature and Science
have mado the Constitution Lite Syrup tor tho benefit
of all.
PURE BLOOD
Produces healthy men and women; and if tho consti
tution is neglected ill youth, disease aud oarly death
is the result. Do not delay when the means are so
near at hand, and within the reach of all.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Is the Poor Man's Friend, and the Rich Man's
Blessing.

CHOLERA.
A CURTAIN CURB FOR THIB DISEASE
If AY BE FOUND IN THE USE OF
PERRY DAVIS’
Vegetable Pain Killer.
Dubuquh, lowa, May fltli, 1866.
Gxxtlkiikn ; —I feel under obligations to you for
the nenefit I have received from your invaluablo Pain
Killer.
A few days since, I assisted in laying out and bury
ing due of our citizens who was supposed to have died
with the cholera. The next morning I was taken with
severe vomiting, accompanied with coldness of the ex
tremities. Warm coverings and hot applications failed
to restore warmth. My wiio’s family, who hiul used
tiro Pain Killer with success during the cholera season
in Buffalo, in 1847, advised me to take it. I took two
doses at intervals of fifteen minutes; a tlno perspira
tion ensued, and the next day, barring a little weak
noss, I was well, and have been since. It may liavo
been an attack of ague; but whether aguo or
it answered my purpose.
Blnco my recovery, I tlnd that several of our citizens
have used the Pain Killer as a remedy for cholera,
pronouncing it good. I therefore take pleasure in re
commending it to a still more extensive notice.
W. M. CRAWFORD,
Attorney at I,aw.
Bt. Xot'is, Mo.
Dr. ait Bia:—l feel it a duty I owe to The public to
make known tho value of Davis’ Pain Killer, and my
cxporicnco in using it for some of the complaints for
wlilrh it is highly recommended. In April Inst, on
your recommendation, I purchased a onc-dollar bottle
Os you for pains with which 1 have long been afllicted,
and made uso of it on my trip down to Now Orleans
with the most gratifying and beneficial effects. On
my return trip to this city, tho cholera made its ap
pearance among some of my passengers. I made use
of the Pain Killer, having no other remedy on board,
and, to my surprise and gratification, found It gave
immediate relief. On my arrival ill St. Louis, I called
on you and got four large bottles, and stated to you
my confidence in it us an infallible cholera remedy
and remarking to you that I wanted no other cholora
remedy on board my boat. I made use of four bottles
on my trip to New Orleans and back, for cholera and
some other complaints for which it is recommended,
and met with the most astonishing success—jwhen I
ordered from you six more one-dollar bottles 5 Since
( then, I have made two more trips to New Orleans and
i back, and on my previous trip up I had more than
SEVENTY CASES OF CHOLERA
on board, when tho PAIN KILLER was immediately
used with the most astonishing results. In all cases
whore it was used in time, it gave relief in a very
f short time; and I can with confidence say to tho pub,
P lie, that in all of the first stages of cholera, when taken
i in time, it is in my opinion an infallible remedy; and,
after a fair trial with it for sovoral weeks, and four
trips to New Orleans and back, and using it for cholera
and other complaints for which it is recommended, no
f consideration whatever would induce me to leave pori
without a good supply—hclioving it to be a medicine
that no officer of a boat or any family would be with
| out a single day after using one bottle.
► J. M. BROADWELL,
Capt. Steamer Atlantic.
I most cordially unite with Captain Broadwell in
i recommending Perky Davis’ I’ain Killer to the public,
, having myself been severely attacked with tho cholera
> and found rolief in a few' hours by using it, and have
myself administered it to more than fifty persons at
tacked with tho cholera, and when used in time a cure
was effected in a few hours, and take pleasure in rc
| commending it to tho public as an invaluable medicine
.• that no individual should bo without a slnglo hour.
.1. N. HOKFINGER,
Clerk Hi earner Atlantic.
, DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER.
In to-day's Union will be found an advertisement of
this celebrated remedy. Tito certificates appended
from tho Captain and Clerk of tho steamer Atlantic
[ wo know to lio genuine and founded on facts, as they
vorbally stated iu our office the substance of what they
publish.—AY. Louis Union.
At the commencement of tho diseaso take a tea
, spoonful of Pain Killer itt sugar and water, and then
i bathe freely across the stomach, and witlr the Pain
Killer clear.
Should tho diarrhwa or cramps continue, repeat tiro
dose every fifteen minutes. In this way the dreadful
, scourge may lie chocked and the patient relieved in
tile course of a few hours.
N. B.—Be sure and get tire genuine article, and it is
recommended by those who have used the Pain Killer
for the cholera, that in extreme eases the patient can
take two or more teaspoonfuls instead of one.
