Meeting of Commissioners from the Charlotte k South Carolina and Co i.i MitiA Jc Augusta Kaii.koado. —Some time since a Board of Commissioners, con- of three Directors and three Stock holder-; from each of the two Hoads, was api ;rit Iby the Charlotte & South Caro iina and Cfiutnbia & Augusta Railroad i for tb purpose of drawing up an agree ment, by mans of which a consolidation of the two corporations might he effected. This Board held a meeting in the city Thursday morning but nothing was agreed Upon. A proposition was submitted, we •:aru, from one of the gentlemen present, >y the Commissioners of the Charlotte Road, which the representatives of the ' loluuibia k Augusta Road would not ac cept. Another proposition was then made 1 I iy the latter corporation, which the fortu • r rejected. Here the negotiations came to a !.•■ »-»>, as both parties seemed equally and i-tiTHiined in the matter. As the present Board of C nnmissionors failed to agree a on any terms anew one will have to bo appointed, whose action will probably he m ire harmonious and satisfactory terms lor a consolidation arranged. After the I' 'in- have been agreed upon by the Corn mi.s-ioners, they will h ive to be presented to the stockholders of the two companies fur ratifi ration or rejection,as they may de toimioe. rii nator Sprague and the AtuusTA La BOR Union.--A day or two since, Mr. •iohnL Ells, President of the “Labor!

On Thursday a reply was received from Senator Sprague, which we publish below: j Aiken, May 25, 1869. Jofm Ij.

Brunswick & Albany Railroad.— j The Appeal has tho gratification ofioforui- j ing tho frionds of Brunswick that advices j were received on tho 22d from New York to the effect that the friends of Brunswick 1 have tho control ot the Brunswick & Albany Railroad, aud that negotiations are now | ending that will most certainly secure tlic immediate commencement and early ] completion of tho road. Brunswick has hicn made a money order office. Tho subscription to the telegraph , line has been made up, aud several new streets in tho city have been opened. The Railroad War—Peace De vlarkd. —After several years of an unin terrupted and bitter warfare, a treaty of \ peace was concluded in this city on Friday i morning between the South Carolina and ; the Columbia & Augusta Railroad Com panies. The treaty, we believe, was found entirely satisfactory by the President, Di lectors and legal advisers of both the cor porations, and was duly approved. The-j terms of this treaty are, wo learn, sub stantially as follows: Tho Columbia i Augusta Railroad agree to pay to tho South Carolina Railroad tho sum of seven ty-live thousand dollars in the bonds of tho former corporation to bo taken by the lat ter at par value; ami in consideration for this amount the South Carolina Railroad agree to allow tho Columbia & Augusta Road to intersect the track of tho former at the "turn-table,” oue mile cn the other side of tho Savannah river, and the use of the tradk across the bridge over the Savan nah ami along Wash’wgton street, to the Union Depot in this city until the sixth of January, 1870, by which time tho bridge of the Columbia Hoad will, it is thought, be finished the time and manner in which the track is to be thus used, to bo deter mined, in ease of •» disagreement between the other partiist by the President of the Georgia Railroad. The City Council of August* agrees to . ruut to these two llailroad Companies the free use of the Washington street track, in perpetuity. The track to he used by them unequal tm.s, and it, together with the street, to he arranged and kept in thorough repair at the expense of the two roads , and ail othof streets which they may have to use in connecting their tracks with a common depot to be kept in the same manner , under the direction of iIk 1 Streets and Crains Committee. It any other road shall hereafter desire to use these streets connecting these roads with the common depdt, for the purpose of entering the city, it shall be allowed to do so upon jueh terms as the Mayor of Au gusta and the Superintendents of the Georgia and the Macon & Augusta Rail road. constituting a Board of Referees, in ly dot• mine. The wti Railroad Companies agree to indemnify the eitv for all damages obtain ed fr in it ir, consequence of the running of their train- thro gh the streets. The C.ty Council agrees to release the i South Cardin* Railroad from their pre vious contracts with the city relative to diserrm. . aoimt Augusta in freights and pass> -'g r far .s, except on the l.ne between Quo ton audthis place, and also release tl.om from the prohibition against their engines and cars running through the streets. »The City Council, the Columbia & Au- , gust a Railroad and the South Carolina Railroad promise to stop all litigation. The alsovc comprise, substantially, the terms of the agreement which was accept ed yesterday by the two Railroad companies and the City: and we think that it will be found to be acceptable to the citizens of Augusta and to the stockholders of the railways. The publie will certainly bo de lighted to learn that the strife which has for so long a time been going on between •he Columbia A Augusta and South Caro ■ iina Railroad has at last ceased and that travellers may now pass over the two lines without experiencing the inconveniences and anuoyanoes which were at one time caused by the celebrated “Railroad War.” , Children born in France on the 15th of August next, Napoleon’s centenary, will, lie taken under the special protection of the Uovvrniueul, I Consolidation of the Charlotte k South Carolina and 'Columbia k Au gusta Railroads. —We Hited in the Chronicle & Sentinel of last Friday morning that the Board of Commissioners appointed by the Charlotte & South Caro lina and Columbia & Augusta Railroads to arrange tho terms for a consolidation ot the two corporations, had held a meeting in this city on Thursday morning, and had tailed to agree upon any arrangement; but by the advertisement of Col. Win. John ston, the President of the road, in another column, it will be seen thaS the Commis sioners have agreed upon terms, and that a joint meeting of the stockholders will be held in Columbia soon for their considera tion. It seems that at the meeting on Thursday morning nothing was effeetod. The representatives ot the Columbia k Augusta Railroad were willing to consoli date if it could be done at par—that is, four shares of their road, twenty-five dol- I .r.s each, were to be given for one share of the other Hoad's stock, one hundred dol lars. The commissioners from the Char lotte Road refused this proposition, but substituted in its stead a proposal that the Columbia Hoad shoull give five shares of th ;ir stock for four of the Char lotte Company’s. This was, in its turn, promptly rejected by the other side; and as both parties seemed equally determined, the meeting broke up without anything being accompli-hod. At a late hour on Thursday night, how ever, we learn that Col. William Johnston, the President of the two companies, sue ceedod ia inducing the Commissioners to hold a second meeting, thii time in his room at the Globe Hotel. Here the affair was again discussed and finally a compro mise was effected between the two parties, which is, in substance, as follows: Tho stock of the Columbia k Augusta Railroad is valued at twenty-two dollars per share, that of the Charlotte k South Carolina Railroad is valued at par, and four and a hall shares of the former are to he received lor oue share of the latter. At the meet ing of the stockholders of the two roads to be held in July this agreement will be pre sented to them for ratification or rejection, as they may deem proper. Tiie Way it Workn. —The New York Journal oj Commerce, in giving particu lars of the enormous imports of the last four months at that port, shows that of the $119,517,759 to which they arnou it, only $38J21,941 were of dry goods; that is, contrary to general belief, dry goods con stitute only about one-third of all the foreign product ! for which we have to pay. Gur legislators have made tho United Slater the dearest market in the world ; consequently we sell little and buy mueb. That proposition is so plain that the most illiterate reader can understand it. The theory of tho protectionists is, that by making the home market dear, we encour age home production. Tho remit, as shown by experience, is that when our markets are made dear we lessen our sales to other countries, our produce costing so much they can buy cheaper elsewhere ; while everybody who can come here to sell his wares, because everything is high. This busmens would collapse of itself if we had to pay specie lor the difference. But as long as we can pay in bonds, only close observers see any danger ahead. Terrible Accident in Atlanta. — From the Atlanta hra we learn that a ter rible accident occurred at the Rolling Miil in that city on Thursday. It seems that Hiram McGill, a puddler, among the iron which ho was throwing into the furnace, found a bomb shell which had not been ex ploded. Not wishing to throw it into the furnace uutil the powder had been removed, he took it into the blacksmith shop at tached to the m il, and asked Milton Muckle, a colored smith, to break it for him. Muckle objected to doing so on the ground that he feared an explosion. Mc- Gill then told him he would strike it him self, and laying tho shell on the anvil, told Muckle to hold it there while ho struck. Muckle very foolishly did so, and when the blow came down the shell exploded with a terrific report, tearing off both of Muckle’s hands at tho wrists, tearing his bowels out and seriously injuring McGill and George Alexander, both white, besides injuring several'others more or less. Fragments of the shell flew all over the shop, and fairly riddled the roof. Muckle has since died of the injuries Received. New Flour.—Wo aro indebted to Messrs. J. M- Clark & Cos., of the Augusta Mills, for a sack of double extra Flour for family use, made of new wheat grown by Mr. Peter Sheron of this city. Wo un derstand that this flour is ten days earlier than usual in tho market. Messrs. (Jark k Cos. are now prepared to fill all orders for their now flour. Macon and Brunswick Railroad The steamer Chan. S. Hardee brought down on her last trip and landed at Dum ber City a locomotive and two platform cars for the Macon end of the Brunswick Road, and on tho previous trip brought the same coin lenient for the opposite end of the Road, now in running order from I. Cook's Landing o DjctOjrtowo. The loco motives were the George Walker and Gov ernor Crawford, both of which have per formed more service in the extension and building of railroads in tho South than al most any other engines now in use. The service! of the Walker have been employ ed in tho building and extension of over five thousand miles of track. No definite time can be named as to when the Road will be completed, but some time within two months is the estimate of the contract ors, who are busily employed on the vari ous sections and are rapidly pushing the work forward. Tho work is being ptosccut ed from six different points,as follows: One gang are at work fjom Uawkinsville to Lumber City, oue from Lumber City to Hawkinsv.lle, on ' from I. Cook’s Linding toward the Gulf R ,ad, one from the Gulf Road toward I. Cook’s Landing, and two gangs working from the Gulf Road toward and from Brunswick. An Oration. —Wo learn from the At lanta lutelliffaicer that in tearing down the old Georgia Railroad Depot (which was used as a banquet ha l by the firemen at the late parade in that city) the follow ing was found among the ruins. It is evidently a speech delivered by a visitor, and, as several celebrated orators went up with the companies from this city, it may be the production of home genius: Totally wanted words—highly honored deeply affected—Atlanta—carry it home with me—children —posterity—celebration —displays—illustrious friends —brilliant as sembly—fair sex—.-moral order—events which—things which no man —effects of this day—will not take up your time —long pull—immortal bard—valuable time— Atlanta hearts—happy to bear—found at my post—health to our polite, impartial, paternal frtends. Arrest of an Escaped Convict. —Late Saturday aiternoon a negro by the name of Bale Knight, while prowling about on the bank of the river,discovered lying down under t’.c bridge on the South Carolina side of the Savannah a negro man name! Ben Williams, whom he recognized as an escaped convict. Quietly returning to the Georgia bank, Knight informed a police man of what he had seen and the two went over to effect the convict's capture Though taken entirely by surprise Wil liams made a most desperate resistance, and being armed with a knife succeeded in wounding Knight, though cot in a dan gerous manner. The officer, unwilling to shovt, Lut determined to capture him, drew his revolver and clubbing it used it on the convict's head in such a way as to soon cause a surrender. The pistol went off in the melee but no one was injured by the discharge. Williams was convicted ! fifteen months ago, under the scalawag reyimt, of larceny, and was sentenced to pay a fine of forty-five dollars and labor three months on tue chain gang. He made his esoape, however, alter serving but a small portion of his period of serv.- tudo and has been since that tithe at liberty.

A great deal of interest was manifested in the city Saturday morning with regard to tho arrest of Elwin Belcher, the negro Assessor of Internal Revenue for this dis trict, and Eugene A. Corey, one of his Assistants, for an alleged felony—destroy ing Government papers ia order to injure a person formerly in the service of the Revenue Department. 5V hen the investi gation commenced in the office of the Uni-cd States Commissioner oa the corner of Broad and Kollock streets in this city, a eonsiaerable number ot ex-rebels,Ku-k!ux, mongrels, carpet-baggers and Republicans of the Conservative type were assembled in order to witness the proceedings. Among others present was our distinguished fei low-eitizin(?i, the “Hon.” C: 11. Prince, the carpet-bagger Representative ot this District in the United Stares Congress. Asa matter of course the countenances of the maligrianu were-“a’l spread with a broad grin” and they seemed to enjoy hugely the discomfiture of the “nigger As sessor,” as they were rebellious enough to term the protege of Senator Sumner. Pun ctually at 11 o’clock all the parties coueemed were present but some delay was occasion ed before the Court was opened. We learn that the United States District Attorney, Colonel Mdlcdge, refused to have anything to do with the case on the ground that it was outside of his jurisdiction; and the prose ration was represented by Mr. J. David son, a young lawyer of this city. Mr. J. C. C. Black appeared for the two defend ants. Corey, the alleged principal in the transaction, is a white man; the alleged accessory, Belcher, is a mulatto, of an under-done ginger-bread color, apparently twenty-six or seven years of age, very stout aud stupid looking. The counsel lor the defence asked if the Court was ready to proceed in the case Against E. A. Corey. The counsel for the prosecution said that he was'not ready, fur trial, and asked a further postponement until next Monday morning at 10 o’clock. The counsel for the defence wished to know on what ground this postponement was asked. Ha had a right to a more definite answer than he had received. The case had been commenced on Friday rnorn • ing and the prosecution had certainly time to prepare their case. Tie demanded to know the grounds for continuance. The counsel on the other side said he wished time in which to make out his ease, procure the attendance of witnesses, etc. He had but recently been employed by his cjient and had not time to make a show ing. The Commissioner decided to -postpone the ease until 10 o’clock Monday morn ing. Advice to Mr. Motley.— The “Jour nalof Commerce" is advising Mr. Motley, when he gets to England, to abstain from making speeches* and to do what business lie may have to do directly with Lord Clarendon and the Foreign Office : “Speeches from Motley on English soi in the Sumner vein or anything like it (the editor thinks), would be madness, if we expect to effect a peaceful settlement with England. At the same time, as Mr. Sum ner’s speech was not an 1 Jieial aet, it is not incumbent on Mr. Motley to explain it away, or even to allude to it. If it is im politic to wound tho prido of England, it is still more so to put forward any expla nations which may appear to indicate that the American government had taken a stand from which it is now obliged to re cede.” Increased Representation. The Wilmington Journal has made up and published an elaborate statement of the iucreascd representation to which the South is entit ! ed under the new order of things, basing its calculation on the population furnished by the census, of 1860. According to this the representative strength of the South will be increased as follows : Mary land 2, Virginia 8, North Carolina 4, South Carolina 5, Georgia 6, Florida 2, Alabama 5, Mississippi 4, Louisiana 4, Texas 2, Missouri 1, Arkansas 1, Tennessee 3, Ken . tucky 3 —equal to an increase of fifty in the Lower House of Congress. From the New York IF or Id. Our New Minister to Spain. DANIEL E. SICKLES. The appointment by President Grant of Daniel E. Sickles as Minister to Spain, vice John P. Hale, resigned, has occasioned so much comment that we print below a sketch of certain portions of his career that have from time to time been brought to public notice: Daniel E. Sieklds was born in this city in October, 1821. When he was old enough to be put to some uselul employ ment ho was taught the printer’s trade, which he followed for several years. As he emerged from boyhood he took part in ward polities, and soon became notorious in all the mysteries of ballot box stuffing, running primaries, and manipulating voters at the' polls. His manner of life brought him into several damaging scrapes. In 1837 he was indicted in the Court of Ses sions in this city on a charge of false pre tences, but the matter was hushed up, through political influence. A few years later lie was arraigned before tho same court, and compelled to pay over certain misappropriated funds to one Moore, who appeared as plaintiff, in December, 1846, 1 he was indicted by the Grand Jury on a j charge of grand larceny. Tho offence j charged against him was that he had taken a mortgage, entrusted to his care in his i father's office for delivery to Kemble & Cos . and soil it, appropriating the money to bis own use. He was tried for the of \ fence, and acquitted on tho plea of the i statute oflimitation. In the meantime, Sickles had studied j law, and had reeeived admission to the bar j in 1843. His activity in local politics was ; rewarded by a nomination for the State [ Assembly, in 1847, and this was followed by his election. At this time ho was living with Fanny White, the keeper of a noto rious house of prostitution in Mercer street, and it wa3 the current belief that sho supported him with the wages of her shame. A curious incident took place which brought his name before the public in no enviable light. There was bill due at the ba. nio of Fanny White, and eatlyone morning, when the milkman called lor the payment, Sickles’ mistress took the money from his pocket and gave it to a servant girl to settle the claim. The money proved tj be counterfeit, and ! the servant girl was arrested, and on the trial all the tacts came out. During the session of the Legislature, Sickles took Fanny White to Albany and introduced her iu the Assembly Chamber. This scandalous conduct created a great deal of indignation, and the House by a vote passed a censure upon the act. In 1852, there was a bitter fight in this ! city over the office ofOorporation Counsel, Robert J. Dillon and Nelson J. Watcr . bury being the opposing candidates. The I friends of Waterbary prepart and a circular j addressed to voters, which was enclosed with a ballot in an envelope, and taken to ; the Broadway Postoffice fir delivery. Sickles belonged to the opposing faction, and when he'” got wind of this, gathered h s roughs about him. and with several carriages drove to the post iffice. 11c charged the building, captured it, and tearing open the mail-bag*, carried off the obnoxious documents. He was arrested upon a charge of robbing tne mails, bat, as usual, the matter was hushed up and never came to trial. In 1855. Sickles was elected to the State Senate. He took a conspicuous part in that body in fighting the Albany Bridge bill, and also in defending the Trinity Church corporation in tbe contest over their property. The statement has been made that he received SIO,OOO in each of these cases for his influence. At any rate, he was living the following year at the rate of $30,000 pier annum, which was a re markable change for one who had been comparatively poor but a short time before. His Senatorial career was cut short by his nomination by the President as Secre tary of Legation to London. It is under i stood that Mr. Buchanan, then Minister to England, solicited this appointment, and it was made against the protest of Mr. Marey, the Secretary ot State, who, as 3n old New Yorker, had had occasion to know a great deal about the appointee. The new Secretary of Legation carried his character istic tailings with him to England, much to the annoyance of his chief. He borrow ed money freely, and in return gave drafts on the United Stales Treasury. The , Secretary of the Treasury at the time, Mr. Guthrie,"refused to honor these drafts, and when at last Mr. Buchanan was obliged to send Sickles home, the disappointed credi tors, among whom were some lordiings and men of fashion, followed him, and iu vain importuned him for payment. Upon reaching New York from his j foreign exploits, Sickes again pluuged into 1 politics. He procured the nomination and I election to Congress from one of the lower districts of this city. His opponent, coil tested the seat, and it was charged in the public prints that Sickles imported voters from Brooklyn, and affidavits Dj that effect were printed. He was distinguished tbr nothing during his first term, save the ex pression of ultra pro-Southern and pro slavery sentiment*, all of which he repudi ated when the war opened a bettcT chanco in another direction. He was re-elected to Congress in 1858, and it was during the latter part of this term that he became an actot in the most terrible and disgusting tragedy that has stained the annals of tho national capital. The circumstances of this affair, as ap peared upon the trial, were these : Mrs. Sickles, who was the daughter of a woman with whom it was alleged Sickles had or.ee maintained a criminal connection, redded with her husband in Washington. There, through an introduction by her ! u*band. she became acquainted with Philip Barton Key. a gentleman of culture and address, who became a frequent visitor to Sickles’ house, and the acquaintanceship with Mrs. Sickles eventually ripened into criminality. It is said that Sickles knew or suspected of this intimacy. At any rate, it was the common talk ia the city long before he took measures to avenge his “dishonored bed.” An anonymous note addressed to bim, with details of Mrs. Sickles' crime roused him to action. It appears that eighteen hours after the receipt of this ; note, and when, as the prosecution after ward contended, he had ample time to cool off’from the first effects, of the dread ful disclosure, he sahied out with a friend, j and finding Key at the corner of Lafayette ; place, near the Club House, slaughtered him where he stood. This was oa a Sab bath afternoon, as Ivey was on his way | home from Church. Sickles shot him with a revolver in the groin. The wounded man took refuge behind a tree, crying out, I “Don’t shoot me,” “-Don’t murder me.” 1 Sickles followed him up, and shot him : again. lie fell to the sidewalk, and for a ! moment rested his head upon his arm. Sickles then stood over him and shot him in the breast. Just then Lutterworth came up, and touching Sickles on the shoulder, advised him to desict. bickles took Lis friend’s arm, and the twain walked away. The murderer exhibited the utmost cool ness during the entire affair. Key never spoke after the third shot. He was taken into the Club House aud expired in a few moments. The murder took place February 28, 1859, and the trial came offin the follow ing April—just ten years ago. It lasted from the ith to the 26th, and created great excitement both in Washington and throughout the country. A great array of counsel appeared for the defendant Among them were Edwin M. Stauton, James T. Brady, John Graham, Reverdy Johnson, Thomas Francis Meagher, and Colonel Phillips, of Alabama. The lion. Robert Quid, now of Richmond, Virginia, conducted the prosecution,assisted by Mr. Carlisle. Toward the close of the trial Mr. Ould endeavored to introduce testi mony as to Sickles’ previous bad charac ter, but it was over-ruled. The sympathy of the jury was evidently with Sickles from the outset. The court-room was crowded with his New York friends, who made boisterous demonstrations in his favor, and the rulings of the judge were nearly always in his favor. Brady and Stanton made elaborate arguments for the defence, and when the jury rendered an acquittal, a scene followed rarely witnessed in a court house. The people went wild with cheers, one of the counsel kissed the liberated man, and another sat down and wept. Sickles was carried in triumph to his home, and a band of music in the -evening sere naded iris counsel, and would have sere naded him but for the good sense of Mr. Brady, who made them a speech, and begged them to go home. iLettersof congratulaiipn pouredinupon Sickles from all parts of the country. He informed his friends that he would_ imme diately procure a divorce from his wife, and after i roviding for her decently cast her from his mind forever. But* not so long after, when he returned to New York, to the astonishment of the world, be took his wife back to live with him. This ex traordinary conduct swept nearly every old friend from his side. Men who had stood by him through the trial like brothers, turned away from him forever in the in tensity of their _ disgust. His political enemies visited him with their most with ering sarcasm, and the Tribune published an article upon him almost unequalled in its brutality. Sickles, in reply to these strictures of friend and foe, came out in a letter defending his conduct, but -it won back none of the former. The cause of this strange course was never publicly known, but the story cur rent in private circles was that certain promissory notes had been discounted at tho Shoe and Leather Bank in favor of Sickles, bearing the endorsement cf Ba-‘ gioiijhis father-in-law. This endorsement Bagioli failed to recognize as his, aud to save himself from the accusation of writ ing what ho should not write, Sickles sub mitted to terms—ho went back to his wife. The uotes were settled several years after ward. The year following the murder, the se cession troubles commenced, and Sickles, true to his Congressionil record, was elo quent in defence of the course of tho South. It was stated at the time, that some weeks after the firing upon Sumter, when the whole North was aroused to a freDzy of warlike excitement, Sickles, met a band of Southern sympathizers at the New York Hotel, and harangued them upon the tolly and wickedness of coercion. Suddenly, ho gave way to the current, and blossomed into an ardent patriot. He raised a brigade for service in the field, He was ia not water from the beginning. His first trou ble was with tiie Union Defence Commit tee because they wouli not accept his vouchers and pay monty on them when they were written with i lead pencil. At last be received SII,OOO from the commit tee, but subsequently to took-the men’s receipts for the money to \Vashington, and upon the claim that tho money had been paid out of his own pocSet, ho received it over again. The brigadt cost the city, to arm and equip, nearly 8300,000. When it was taken to Washington, Sickles march ed it to the White House, and boastingly informed Lincoln that it had been raised out of his own means. General Sickles’ principal military exploit was at Gettysburg. By i blunder he near ly lo3t the battle to the Union cause, and led his men to be mowuddown like grass. This affair induced a prominent general to assert in a commuDicatioi to the press that if General Sickles “had not lost his leg at the battle of Gettysburg ho would have been cashiered.” The vound kept him from active service in the field during the remainder of the war. When the Recnnstruttion act passed Congress, and tho South was cut up into satrapies, Sickles was seat to lord it over South Carolina. lie wat as cruel and ar bitrary there as the most ardent hater o( the vanquished Carolinians could wish. He arrested citizens and threw them into the military prisons witheut examination; seized funds in the bank; shut up the sav ings institution, and forded the people to submit to humiliations of all kinds’, that they were powerless to resist. Ho made himself tnoroughly detested by those over whom he ruled, aid it was with intense gratification they learned st last that Presi dent Johnson had resolved to remove him. He came hick home, was banqueted by the Union-League Club, toasted by John J.iv, and rested on his honors. Darina the late Presiiential election, while dravving pay as au ofieer in the army, he traversed the country making political speeches. His candidate was elected, and he now has his reward —tho mission to the proudest and most punctilious nation in the old world. Sale of a First-Class Planting In- j terest. —The immense landed interest of 1 the South, so full of resovees, and which j only require the application of skill and capital to produce the most fruitful results, are gradually passing into the possession of-; parties who have large means, and who ! will use ail the appliances that wealth can ; command and energy procure to bring forth in abundance the valtable products : which this soil and elimate are so capable of yielding. One of our enterprising com mercial firms, Messrs. Wills A Chisolm, have, in connection with Henry Hart, Esq., of New York, lately purchased on the Combahee River, between this city an! ' Savannah, a princely esute, composed, | partly, of the old lkake barimv. which was last in possession of Daniel Blake, Esq., j in whose family it bar been from colonial ; times. This extensive property has an area of about 14,000 acres, of which 1,450 are the best class of rice land, 400 ficres of cleared upland, and much of the balance most superior timber 1 md. The Charles ton and Savannah Railroad passes through this property to the length ot about four and a half miles.

The proprietor presents an assay of evidence in the form of letters and cer tificates ofEminent Physicians and other nersons of the highest character for integ rity and intelligence, which is absolutely irresistible in its nature, and must carry certain conviction to every mind of the great and even wonderful remedial vir- j tues of the mineral water, which he brings t 0 tbe notice of the public. i The GREENBRIER WHITE SUL- | PHCR the ROCKRIDGE ALUM, the SWEET and the HOT SPRINGS, have for manv years been considered as among the most valuable of the medical and health giving fountains of Virginia and West Virginia; and undoubtedly merit their high reputation. , ...

O, Mr. Boutwell’sFinancial “Jerks.” -The Yurld thinks- Wall street is alto gether too deep (’or Mr. Boutwell. After dwelling upon his uncertain and make-shift policy as developed in the frequent change of his gold-selling and 1 bond-buying per formances, the editor says: “So long as his reservoir in the Treasury is unexhausted, he can always, by pouring out fast enough, create a supply of gold in the market in excess of the demand, and bring down the'price. But if he continues, at the same time, to buy bonds and arrest their exportation, the gold will immediate ly find its way abroad, and he can keep down the price only for the brief period necessary to exhaust the Treasury. Then gold will go up with an elastic and uncon trollable bound; the importation of goods will be stopped in default of any res >urce for payment; there will be bo further re plenishing of the Treasury with gold; the Government will lack the means of paying the interest on the public debt; confi fence will be shaken; the Treasury will be forced to resell, at a ruinous discount, the bonds I it has been purchasing; and distress, panic ! and bankruptcy will overspread tbc coun try. Mr. Boutwell is plunging headlong j toward these hideous consequences, by the jerky, fitful measures which he adopts in his desperate endeavor to arrest the ad vance in gold.” The Daily Phttnit, published at Colum bia, 8.

A curious physiological experiment has receutly been made. A few grains of bar ley were placed before a hungry pigeon. While pecking at the barley the brain of the pigeon was frozen by means of a spray od ether. The bird, being thus deprived of consciousness, ceased pecking, aud re mained as if dead. The barley was then removed, and the ether spray having ceased, the brain was allowed to thaw. The bird soon returned to life, and its first act was to renew the pecking lor .a time, although no food was before it. • Darcy’s Prophylactic Fluid.— Our old lrieud, Prof. Darby, deserves well ol the world lor turning his superior chem-' ieal knowledge to such good account as to obtain by chemical reagents aud action this invaluable antiseptic liquor.

C., and Richmond and Lynchburg, Virginia, NATURE’S REMEDY FOR CHRONIC DISEASES! Medical Properties and Uses of the Water. This water combines in a remarkab e degre those properties which render it a remedial agent of peculiar, perhaps of un equal value for the eradication of disease and the restoration of health. The extraordinary cures which have been made by it in many Chronic Diseases, and in some cases which seemed almost hopeless, justly ontitle it to rank with the most famous Mineral Springs of Virginia and the world. Indeed there is strong reason to believe that in many of the most serious, unmanageable and widely pre vailing diseases that Allliet the human race, the Cold Sulphur Water is not only the most safe, mild and pleasant, but also the mostcertain aud effectual remedy yet dis covered. Under its benign, revolutionizing and renovating influences, many chronic mala dies vanish like the mist of the morning under the unclouded rays of the sun ; the ruddy glow of health revisits pallid cheeks to which ithad become a stranger; in many cases animation, elasticity, energy and buoyancy supersede tho bodily languor, debility, irritation and disease which hail long reigned supreme in the system, and cheerful spirits, the natural companions of vigorous health, take the place of that gloomy aud melancholy condition of the mind which is the legitimate offspring of physical suffering. This water presents the rare combina tion of Aperient, Diuivtic, Diaphoretic, Alterative, Tonic and Kutrophie proper ties. Acting freely upon the Bowels, Liv er, Kidneys and Skin, it thoroughly purifies the blood, and eliminates from tho system the essential elements of disease; while by its powerful Tonic aud Kutrophie action it invigorates tho stomach; enriches the vital fluid ; gives tone and energy to the muscles and nerves; innovates the entire organism, and re-establishes health and strength. In Dyspepsia, Liver Disease, Bilious Complaints, Costiveness, and (Jene.qil De bility, it is a remedy of unsurpassed utili ty aud power. Especially upon the STOMaCH its in fluence is prompt, decided and highly beuelicial. It speedily relieves heart burn, increases the appetite and promotes digestion, so that as a general rule persons using it can eat with impunity, aud that all-important orgat which supplies strength and nutriment to the whole sys tem is soon restored to a strictly normal condition. Being an efficient Aperient and laxative, it causes a regulat and healthy action of the bowels, and is a most admirable remedy in cases of habitual constipation. As an anti-bilious remedy it is unsur passed. Over the functions of the LIVER it ex ercises the most powerful and salutary control. If the bile be deficient in quanti ty, it acts as a direct stimulus to the Liver, and surely though gradually forces the se cretion up to a healthy standard. And . whether the liver be torpid and obstruct ed as i n jaundice, or in an excited and ir ritated condition, discharging an excess of vitiated bile, llie judicious use of this wa ter is equally efficacious in unloading the viscus and restoring the secretions to a healthy state. Being not only a free and powerful, but mild and soothing DIURETIC, this water exerts a decided, sedative and calmative influence over the Urinary Organs ; and has been pre-eminently successful in cases of Inflammation, Irritation and Debility ol the Kidneys, Bladder and Urethra. Asa reinody in such maladies it has no supe rior. Insoinc Diseases Peculiar to Females it is highly beneficial. Chlorosis and LcucoirhiKa will be readily cured by the Sulphur and Chalybeate waters here. Amenorrhaia and Dysmciiorrhcee—vihen purely functional diseases, and uncompli cated by organic or structural derange ment-will yield to tbe same means. Cases of Erysipelas, Itheumatism and Cutaneous Eruptions have been cured by the Cold Sulphur Water. Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis and Chronic Pneumonia, will either receive much relief aud mitigation , from its use, or be entirely cured by it. Various Chronic functional deranyements ' of the Heart, the Brain, and the Lungs, and some forms of Neuralgia, Gout and Scrofula are, in fact, sympathetic or sec ondary diseases, aud hav.e their prime cause or origin in, and are kept alive by, a doranged, enfeebled and irritable condi tion of the stomach and alimentary canal. In such cases the Cold Sulphur Water, by virtue of its unequalled curative and res- : torativo powers iu diseases of tiie Diges tive Organs, is the appropriate remedy. The great Alterative, Tonic, and Eu trophic properties of this water are clearly shown by the marked improvement oi the general health, and the increaso of ilesh and strength which generally lollow its use. In many cases so speedy and thorough is its curative agency, that iu the lan guage of a distil guianed physician, who bad bimseif seen Us effects, "No one an eye-witness would believe in the marvellously rapid change to a; normal condition or that of health.” Some of the cures which have been made by it are of the most extraordinary character. Cases which were apparently of the most hopeless nature, for the relic! of which not only all the resources ol medical skill but the m/>st celebrated Min eral Springs of Virginia had been us and in vain, have been entirely and permanently cured by the Cold Sulphur Water. CHALYBEATE SPRING. Besides the Sulphur Water, there is upon the premises a fink Chalybeate Spring, which possesses the well-known virtues of waters of its class. LOCATION, CLIMATE, <frc.
