JOAN OF ARC,
The story of Joan of Arc * s familiar to
all. But a doubt long existed as to the
exact nature of her charaetar. Falling a
victim to teachery, and executed by the
enemies of her country every means was
taken by her murderers to blacken her
reputation. English history, even to this
day. is generally unjust to her.
The truth, as M. Miehelot has estab
lished from contemporary writers is that
Joan was enthusiast, who, being endowed
with a vivid imagination, realized what
to others were mere dreams. The advan
ced science of the nineteenth century re
cognizes such phenomena. Joan honest
ly believed that she was in communion
with spiritual advisers, and that Heaven
had delegated to her the task of liberating
her country from the English yoke.
After hating been the terror of the in
vaders for more than a year, and achieving’
a series of successes which ceased only
with the final liberation of France, Joaii
was captured by a party of Burgundians,
who had joined the English against their
native land, and were then besieging
Campeigne. To the disgrace of her king,
Charles the Seventh, no effort was made
to procure her exchange. To the still
greater disgrace of the French prelates,
they sought to get her into the hands of
the Inquisition, instigated by a secret lean
ing t.ijtho British. Her doom was not left
in doubt. The unscrupulous men, who
directed English affairs during'the infan
cy of Henry the Sixth, believing that tin
disgrace ana death of Joan we e necessa
ry to the retention of the British conquests
determined to buy her of her Burgunda
dians. Ten thousand livres, and an an
nuity of three hundred more—large sums
in that day—were the price of her blood.
To have merely executed the poor girl
would not. have answered the ends of her
enemies It was requisite to destroy her
influence as well as take away her life; and
for this purpose there was nothing so eflia
cious in that age as a charge of sorcry.—
The traitorimn French prelates 1.-nt their
aid to this malignant plot. The bishop of
of Beauvais and five others, with the Vi
car-General of the French Inquisition,
were the prominent judges seel, cted by
the tools of the British party. Every in
nuity of mental torture was exhausted in
gordes to induce Joan to confess to crime
Her answers were preverted, she was de
nied counsel; the rack was threatened;
and even the pretended authority of the
church was invoked against her. At last,
- on the promise of life, she was induced to
sign a confession artfully put before her.
But nothing could save her, for not only
did the brutal English soldiery, who had
been prejudiced against her as a witch,
cry out for her blood, but even the nobil
ity demand it.
The vilo arts which were now adopted
ed to bring her to the stake, would seem
incredible on any authority less positive
than that which has come down to us.—
At last the base intrigues succeeded’
Having laid aside the male attire, which
she wore before her condemnation, she
was tiieked into resuming it, and for this
was condemned to the flames as a relapsed
heretic and sorcerer. Placed in a cart,
she was hurried to the market place of
Rouen, where the dreaded doom was to be
. inflicted.
The stake was fixed upon a lofty scaf
fold, not only that all might see her, suffer
• but that the executioner might not be able
to approach her to shorten her agonies.—
Brought to the foot of the pie, Joan knelt
•down, and after imploring pardon and au
dibly forgiving her enemies, turned to the
bystanders besought them to pray for her'.
Her behavior, was so devout, humble and
touching, that sympathy for her became
contagious. The Bishop of Beauvais him
self melted into tears.
But this omotin was only temporary Re
covering himself, Beauvais began to read
the act of condemnation,- in which the dy
ing girl was mocked with false accusations
of schism, idolatry, and magic, When
the terrible sentence was pronounced, J ohn,
turning to the crowd, asked for a cross.
An Englishman, rudely fashion ingone out
of a stick, handed it to her. She took it,
kissed it devoutly, and pressed it to her
bosom. A priest, hastening to the church
of St. Sauveur's brought a crucifix, which
she embraced, having first placed the other'
under her garments next to her skin.
While he was exhorting her, the English
began to grow impatient, and one of them
rudely asked the priest if he intended them
* to dine there. Immediately, and without
waiting for an official order, others tore
her away, and dragged her to the pile.
As she gazed on the great city, the motion
less and silent crowd, and the infuriated
invaders, she cried, ‘Ah! Rouen, Rouen,
much do I fear you will suffer for my
death.’
Above her head was a placard denouncing
her as a heretic and an idolater. When
she had been made fast to the stake, the
executioner* from below, set fire to the fag
ots. At the sight, nature grave wty for a
moment, and site uttered a cry, but seeing
that’tho priest, who had ascended the seat
fold with her, showed no signs of fear, for
got her peril in the thought of him, and
begged him to descend The smoke was
now mounting around her. Occasionally
tongues of flame ’shot' up nearly to her
person Beauvais, in this extremity, ad
van ed to the foot of the pile, hoping to j
extract some admission from her." But she
only answerd, with mild reproach;
‘ I die through you !'
In vain he sought to make hear accuse i
her kind. Though deserted by Charles, i
she would not defame him, but defended
him to the last.
‘Whether I have done well •or ill,’ -he :
said, heroically 'he is faultless.’ At last
the- flames reached her person Again
nature succumbed for an instant, but im-|
mediately she recovered herself'. iShe j
ailed on God. She protested her inn.i- 1
■ At times, the smoke and flames
■•ailed her entirely from view; but her!
. -o was still beard invoking God and his
-.huts; nor was aery of fear, ora murmur
of pain ever again wrung from her. The
spiectators could not endure "the awful
sight. Mau\ fled in horror from the square;
thousands were in tears; some prayed aloud
for her with choking sobs. A few. oulv,
ot her bitterest euemu s. attempted to
laugh. One ofthese, a brutal Englishman,
was about to threw a fresh sago; on the pile
when suddenly her hand suuk upon her
bosom, and crying, ‘Jesus', she died
Twenty years after the French king did
tardy justice to the martyred Joan. A
fommission, appointed by the Pope, after
hearing the depositions of more than a
hundred witnesses, pronounced her in--
noeeut, and declared her sentence null.

CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA
i The following extract is from a letter,
• | dated New Orleans, May 9, 1855, from an
11 officer in the army to the commission o
• Patents:
“1 send you herewith some seeds for
distribution, used here in the cure of the
’ bite of the mad dog. It is considered as
J an effectual remedy in the parish of St.
I Bernard of this State, and the cures which
; are stated to have been effected from their
’ use are certainly very remarkable. I re
gret not being able to give their botanical
name; but tlse plant is a tropical one,
coming from Mexico —I believe from the
department of Tobasco. The seeds are
called here, ‘graines coutre. la rage,’ and
■« are used as follows :
“Three of them are broken up or pound
ed into small pieces, and put into a wine
! glass of the best sherry (Neres,) and al
■' lowed to steep for about twenty-four hours,
! and then being well stirred up, swallowed
;by the patient. The dose is repeated
■ three times a day for about nine days, when
i the person or animal may be considered
•as cured. lam told that oven dogs which
'I have been bitten by a rabid animal have
■ been cured by this treatment, or by put
ting, a larger quantity of these seeds in
i their food.
“ The seed must be soaked in water i
twenty-four hours before planting, and the I
plant must be protected from rays of!
• the i-:un while still young and tender. It
resembles much the okra plant, and should
; be planted late in the spring.’’
BUSTED UP I
We learn that a Know Nothing council
! in 'Autauga county went by the board a
few days ago. At its last me ting the
members had a hut discussion on the sub
(ject of dissolving, and it was'finally car
ried byanalino t unanimous vote. 1 here
! upon the book was brought out. and each '
.: member invited to come forward and ex-:
| punge his name from the roll—when an
! amu iiig- scramble took place to get to the 1
: “ foul record ” first, some not waiting for ■
a pen, but dipping their fingers in the ink
! to draw the black line oyer their auto-!
graphs! A pious, good old Democrat,l
i who was for the party, in detailing the ■
i circumstances to our informant, said he I
! now breathed freer—that he had never
I felt like an American freeman since he !
had been inveighed into the concern—!
that a Know Nothing council was an unfit
place for any body, and especially a Jeffer
sonian Democrat.
And this is but the beginning. Demo
crats who have thoughtlessly joined the '
lantern party in Alabama, will soon see j
that they have “got in the wrong box,” ;
and withdrawals by hundreds will take I
place in quick succession. Such was the •
case in Virginia previous to the late elec
tion in that State ; and such will be the I
case wherever in the South this offshoot |
of New England fanaticism has seduced:
Democrats from their allegiance to the '
noble Democratic State Rights party.—

! Steamboat Novelty.—Two compa-.
j nies, we believe; are taking steps here
Jto organize for the building of light- '
| draught boats which will carry freight.—
! There is no difficulty in .getting boats
\ which will draw a. little water —there arc
! a great many such—the object is to get;
boats, for instance which on two-foot water j
■ will take 500 bags of cotton, and which
ion plenty water will carry 1500 bales.
| Up to this mark, one gentleman we know
is prepared to have a boat built, if the
j stock is taken; and of that there can be
vety little doubt. One or two features in
I the construction of this boat (the drawing
jof which we have been permitted to in
; spet) will be great novelties. In addition
i to great capacity and very light-draught,
! this steamer will be “as easily handled as
a buggy.’’ We long to see it for we be
lieve that such a boat on our river, would
be a greater blessing to Montgomery than
a donation of 8100,000 to the city treasury. I

Cosi of Living in Pams —The high

A leg ot'lamb which a year ago sold for
about three traiics, is not at present to be ’

Washington, June 4.
The Know Nothing Council will assem
ble in Philadelphia to-morrow, and its pro
ceedings will be noted with some interest
A number of the Southern delegates have
passed through this city and among them
Albert Pike, Esq., of Arkansas, the most
eminent of the Southern wing or the order.
These delegates expressed strong hopes
that the Convention would succeed in na
tionalizing the Know Nothing party
This will be a difficult task for a large
portion of the northern delegations are
Free Soilers The Massachusetts delega
tion, headed by Senator Wilson, will either
stamp their principles upon the party
platform or withdraw from the Convention.
A split seems unavoidable, whatever may
be the course of the Convention upon the
slavery subject.
There not wanting signs that the feud
between the two wings of the democratic
party in New York is about to be recou- j
ciled. Both the hards and the softs unite !
in rejoicing at the result, of the Virginia ■
election- The abolition rejoice at the |
same result, because they said that if the j
South embraced know-nothingism the j
South would shape its policy on the slave-!
ry question. It is now their belief that [
the northern know-nothings unite with j
them under the lead of Senator Seward. |
i Every thing nqw tends toa reorganization of!
a powerful democratic Union party —North '
i and South in opposition to the free soil:
! and know-nothing parties.
The present posp'ect of the crops in this |
| country and in Canada is very good. All j
our staples, except sugar, promise well.
The simultaneous rise of consols and ;
cotton in England shows that the com
mercial depression, on account of the war, !
is now elevated, and that the demand for !
our gold must subside. We shall soon
■ serve out cotton and stocks and provisions j
in quantities that will throw the balance i
l in our fifvor. American securities must:
i become more popular than ever abroad, if
| political disturbances should be threaten- \
ed.
Then; again, our own foreign diffieul-l
l ties are brought down to the. narrow com-:
j pass of a paper tyar between an' ex-minis-.
; ter and an ex-charge, about questions i
■ which no longer interest the public.- - •
!On the whole, the country may be con-!
i gratulated upon the present aspect of its :
domestic affairs, and its relations to other
; countries.
■ The city election proceeds quietly.— !
i The attendance at the polls was prompt i

A PREDICTION OF THE PRESENT WAR.
The Rev. John Cumming, D. D., of the
Scotch Church, London, in a lecture de
livered in Exeter hall in the year 1847,
pronounced, among other matters, the pro
phetic words written below. They are
copied from bis “Apocalyptic Sketch
es’ :
“Having explained the pournig out of
six preceding vials the learned lecturer
proceeds with the seventh—his text is
Rev xvi., 17 to 21.
“The seventh vial is ready to be pour
ed out, or if not pouring out we are upon
the very verge ot its being so. It trem
bles in the hands of the angel We may
expect that during the action of this vial,
the mountaineer in the fastnesses—the
miner in his subterranean caves —the voy
ager upon the ocean’s bosom—the Arab
in his desert—the moslem in his mosque
—the Cossack in his Steppes—the King
upon his throne—the mother in her
! household—the babe in the cradle—ail
! will feel its vibrations, receive the taint
; of its influence, and respond in a thousand
| echoes to the voice from above, “It is
j done.’
“There will be rocking thronesj there
will be dislocated systems; there will be
j nations scattered and shaked as by a
I whirlwind; and the hearts of the great and
| the mean, the rich and the poor, tremb
- ling for fear of the the things coming on
, earth
“Now. you will notice that under the
: seventh vial the ten-kingdom form is no
! longer to be. the distinctive characteristics
i of the Romish nations; they are to assume
■ a new shape they will be divide ! into a
i a tripartite shape; three great masses will
I be the ultimate from into which all the n»
| tions of Eurqpe and Christendom will be
! divided; as soon as you see three great
. leading powers coming into collision, with
, broad Europe for the hour «-f the conflict
: you may expect tiiat tlie downfall of Ba
j byh n, and the advent of Christ, and the
dawn of thg millenium are mar It, is
i probable that, this tripartite division will
' consist of Fiance leading its hosts up.m
I the one side, as the great partisian o: the
i Papacy; the Autocrat of all the Russian
: who has more than once played a cruel
! game, may lead the second part; and I
■ have some idea that th s old England of
i ours, so illustrious by its sainted sufferers,
’its noblejirmy of martyrs, its devoted
i Chistians, its preached Gospel, its spread
ing Christianity, its circulated Bibles, will
! be also the third part; and when the con
i filet comes, it will be as of old, England
j against the world, the the truth of God
against the apostacy of Satan and the in
fidelity of man ”
FACTS 'fOr'thF PEOPLE,
A writer in the Augusta Constitution
alist remarks:
In order to show you how little danger
there is to the people of Georgia from
those outrageous Catholics who so much
disturb the repose of your secret order, let
us look to their relative strength in this
State. From the returns of the late Cen
sus it appears that there are, in the State
of Georgia, 1826 churches,. Out of this
number there are not more than 8 -Roman
Catholic bouses of worship. In other
words, for every Roman Catholic in Geor
gia, 232 Protestant Churches. The ag
[ gregate accommodations for the Roman
j Catholic Church is 4,250. The aggregate
• accommodations for the Protestant church
es is 627,167. That is the Protestant
I churches have 145 times as great as the
| foreign population of Georgia. The total
population is 906,185. The foreign pop
; ulation, whi> h includes most or all the
! Catholics, is 6,488. Say there are 90,-
; 000 voters in the State, native born, which
:is allowing one tenth of the population to
be voters, and then allow one-fifth of the
foreign and Catholic population to be vo
ters, and we have about 1,000 or 1,200
Catholic or foreign votes. That is for
every hundred Catholic or foreign votes in
Ga., we have 900 native born or Protest
ant votes. And it is this hand ’ full of
Catholics and foreigners, often ignorant,
uncultivated, and uninfiueutial, who are
going to destroy the liberties of this State,
j Sir, it is the very madness of fanaticism
i for you and your midnight brethren to
! apprehend danger from such a souref
! And as there is no danger to us from Cath
’ olics and foreigners I have shown that it is
: bad policy for us to join our enemies at
1 the North to destroy our friends in that
j section.

The Celebrated Washing Machine.
HAVING bought the right for this city, we
beg to notify the public, that we shall man
ufacture them in the most substantial manner.—
The Machine is so simple in its arrangement that
it can be used by a small boy, and the dispatch
with which it washes a number of garments at
a time, (requiring only one minute,) entirely
clean, and without the usual wear and tear, re
commends it to every house-keeper. It very
soon pays for itself in the saving of time, besides •
the other advantages of saving labor and clothes
from being worn out by rubbing. It is not liable
to get of order, and when it docs can be quickly
repaired by any Carpenter.
The Proprietors of the Washington Hall, At
lanta Hotel, and others in tho city, who have
them in use, will testify to these recommenda
tions.
