We are happy to announce that Col. L. E. BLECKLEY, will address the Anti-Know Nothings, and citizens of Fulton, on Saturday night next at the City Hall. THE MAhTsERVICE. We are without our Exchanges, and laboring under other disadvantages on account of derange ment in the mail service. The "New Schedule" is not yet working, but will be, we learn, in a few days. When every thing is settled we shall give it to our readers. In the mean time, we hope, should our paper fail to come into their hands at the proper time, that they will pass it by without a murmur. From what we can learn of the new mail arrangements, they will be of infinite more service to the public and the press. We may, therefore, quietly submit to a little inconvenience to-day, for the benefits we shall derive to-morrow. THE WEATHER. For several days the weather has been ex tremely warm, particularly during the day, when the sun came down upon us in this vicinity with great power. The surrounding country, however, has been blessed with copious showers, (nor have we cause to complain in this respect) which pro duced a good effect during the nights—a cool breeze —in the absence of which wc should have wished ourselves some degrees further North. In this respect though, we might have committed a folly attributable to many others ; have went far ther, to fare worse; for, take it all in all, a finer climate, or more salubrious atmosphere, is hard to be found within the bounds of the whole South, than we, of Atlanta and its vicinity, are blessed with. As a Summer resort, for families, it is equal to any section of our up country, and prom ises advantages for health and comfort, that na ture and art have failed to supply at many points to which the public are invited. The Summer with us, thus far, comparatively speaking, has been a pleasant one. That it may so continue, now that Sol is receding. South, wc can reason ably hope. OUR THANKS Are due to Mr. Peter E. Taylor, of Louisville, Kentucky, for much useful information, in ad vance frequently of the mail via Augusta, from New York, to this place. Mr. Taylor is, we are advised, a general news paper Agent, and from the promptness with which he has attended to all enquiries from this office, we can safely, which we with pleasure do, recommend him to all who may require similar service at his hands. More than once, through his energy, we have been able to anticipate the news brought by the Steamers from Europe and California and published in our exchanges, at the points nearest us where telegraphic commu nication is regular and certain. ADAMS & CO’S EXPRESS. Again are we under obligations to Mr. C. H. Bulkley, agent at this place, end Mr. E. M. Tom linson, of this popular Express company, for their kind attention. On Saturday last wo particularly desired an article for a friend in Cassville, and had given up in despair, not being able to pro cure it in the city. Happening to hear our la mention, Mr. Bulkley promised to have it forth coming in the morning. Wo questioned his ability until next morning, when he introduced us to Mr. Tomlinson, who received his dispatch in Macon Saturday noon, und not being able to get the article in that city, rode several miles for it, and handed it to us bright and early Sunday. By noon th.: same day, our Cassville friend re ceived it, and after that we lost sight of it, but presume it was properly appropriated. 'Phis is what we call just time ,■ but it is only one in stance of many like ones which prove the entire reliability of the company. Thanks, gentlemen, thanks. TO CORRESPONDENTS. To ensure the insertion of communications in the Examiner, a responsible name must accom pany the contribution. It is singular that a rule so imperative and so universally known, should be so often violated. We have on hand several communications sufficiently men torious to com mand a place in our columns, but we desire it distinctly understood we will nut, under any cir cumstances, give publicity to anything sent us of the responsibility of the paternity of which wc have not ample assurance. We dp this both as a matter of taste, und for our own security ; for while we never publish anything we do not en tirely endorse, without expressing our difference with our correspondents, wc do not care to take either the merit or demerit of that department of our paper. Those who have sent us communi cations not accompanying this quid pro quo need never expect to see their communications in print, as we seldom give them the poor compliment of u perusal We do ho; e No/ Moses and others will bear this in mind, and not make it necessary for us to refer to it again. iHachariah is respectfully declined. ATLANTA MEDICAL COLLEGE. Wc took occasion not long since to allude to the flourishing condition of this Institution. It was with pleasure that we did so Men, and a few weeks previously. All that concerns Atlanta and its prosperity we feel bound to advance, re gardless of the personal inconvenience, or the little trouble it gives us, to pen a paragraph or to write an essay. Hut wc are not insensible to what we conceive to be the Examiner’s due.— Whenever an event of interest is to transpire tn our city, it affords us groat gratification to be among the first to communicate it to our readers. This we are, and have.always been, prepared to do, gratuitously. If we discharge our duty in this respect, we please our readers, and are con tent. If we advance a public good.we are more than gratified. When, however, an advertise ment appears in any of our city papers, to the exclusion of our own, from the Medical or any other Institution of our city, wc do not feel it in sumbent upon us to give its object any notice, even though at the lust hour we are thought of. and are, as it were, brought in at the tail end of the aft'air. And this, it appears, has been, and is our position, in reference to the “Corner Stone” celebration of the Atlanta Medical College to take place on Saturday next! Well, possibly it was economy, that prompted this neglect. It so. we say in -ill good humor to the gentlemen having charge of this young but flourishing Institution, our editorial columns are at your service when ever they may be needed, but when you adver tise, exclude us altogether, rather than make us second best, W o are for a fair shake— nothing more—not even “hot water and bleeding in abun dance," as "Sangrado" hath it, will cure us of this “freak of nature.” ROSSITER’S PAINTINGS. The exhibition of these remarkable paintings will close to-night. We regret our inability to give the notice to-day, they so well merit. We hope, however, that the will, “will betaken for the deed,” and that a large audience will re ward the enterprise that has placed a view of them, w ithin the reach of our citizens. H allow eli. Me, July 11.—A large Know Nothing Convention, embracing tue Councils in Kvnebeo county. met here yesterday. Strong resolutions were adopt ed against the National Administration and slavery, and raeouimendingopen noiii j nations. WASHINGTON SLANDERED. We eAwge that the memory of the illustrious “Father of his Country,” is slandered in the faet that his views upon foreign influence, and religious intolerance, have been misrepresented in this good city of Atlanta, by members of, and sympathisers with, the Know Nothing Order.— We not only make the charge, but will prove i t to the satisfaction of every honest, unprejudiced man. In a hand bill circulated by authority of the Order in our city, advertising that an address will be delivered to-night, at the City Hall, by one of its orators, we find the following "bait to catch minnows." It purports to be Washington’s warnings to his countrymen against foreign in fluence, meaning thereby, his warnings against citizens of the United Slates of foreign birth; for if it does not, ns quoted, mean this, it means nothing: “Against the insidious wilos of Foreign Influ ence, (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citi zens,) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake. It is one of the most bane ful so sofa Republican government. — WwA ington." The reader will note, we hope, the beginning and the end of this sentiment of Washington, as paraded by the Know Nothings of Atlanta.— Now let us go to the RECORD, and mark what Washington did say— not a part of what he said in immediate connection with the foregoing but the whole. Not a sentence or two, but the paragraph, without a line or a word omitted to convey a false impression. On pages 227, ’B, of “Hickey’s Constitution,” a work subscribed to by the Senate of the United States, and universally received as authority by Statesmen; endorsed as such by Clay, Webster and Cuss, we find the remarkable passage refer red to. Here it is: “Against the insidious wiles of foreign influ- 1 encc (I conjnre you to believe me, fellow-citizens) i the jealousy of a free people ought to be con sternly awake; since history and experience! prove that foreign influence is one of the most I baneful foes of republican Government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must lie impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influ-' ence to be avoided, instead of a defence against j it. Excessive partiality for ONE FOREIGN ' NATION, and excessive dislike for anot. er | cause those whom they actuate to see dan- j ger only on one side, and serve to veil, and even I second, the arts of influence on the other. Real; patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the fa-1 voritc, are liable to become suspected and odious;. while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence ot the people, to surrender their interests.” This was what Washington did say. And will any man, who has the hast regard for truth 1 affirm that he had the most distant thought of ■ citizens of foreign birth, when he penned the solemn warning? Or will any one deny thatl his allusion was to Foreign Nations, Empires,! Monarchies, and States? The garbled extract ! to deceive, whether printed or spoken, is so self evident, thal wc wonder at the temerity of ail! who, in cither way, would make so sacrilegious ' a use of W ashington’s world renowned name “ 'Tin pitiful, ’tis wondrous pitiful.” But more, it is often charged since the ad vent of Know Nothingism in America, that Washington was opposed to foreign emigration and Catholics. In other words, that his writings and speeches favored the doctrines and policy of the falsely styled “American Party.” To all this we give a flat denial. And in so doing, we present two extracts, direct to both points, from the writings of that ILLUSTRIOUS PATRI OT. In regard to ioreign emigration, he thus writes. "The bosom of America is open to receive, not only the opulent and respectable stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all nations and all religions, whom we shall welcome to a par lidpation in all our rights and privileges." On religious toleration, the following were the sentiments that governed him in life, and, be queathed as they were to his countrymen, we until recently, confidently trusted would live forever in their hearts. “If I could have entertained the slight est apprehension that the Constitution framed at the Convention where I had' the honor to preside might possibly endan ger the religious rights of any ecclesiasti cal society, certainly / would never have placed my slynature to it; and if 1 could not conceive that the General Government might even be so administered as to ren der the liberty of conscience insecure, I i beg you will be persuaded that no one \ would be more zealmts than myself to es-I tablish effectual harriers against the hoc rors of spiritual tyranny, and every spe-' cics of religious persecution— for, you ; doubtless, remember, I have often ex- i pressed my sentiments that any man con ducting himself as' a good citizen, and j being accountable to God alone for his re-1 ligious opinions, ought to be protected in worshipping the Deity according to the ! dictates of his own consience.” No sophistry, no assurance, can avoid tlte issue ; we here present. Washington’s great name is introduced to advance the sinking cause of i Know Nothingism. Successful contradiction of; the facts we present, is beyond the combined in- , fluence of any know Nothing lodge in the Un-; i >n, or their outsiders, who tear to become mem bers, but sympathise with this new race of Amer icans—modern reformers, who. like the crab. I would crawl backwards to the age of religious intolerance, and tyrannical government—to thal I period, whet men were beheaded for giving ex-' preasmn to their thoughts, ami women consigned to faggot and fire for being old and ugly. COMMUNICATED. Enquiry In WllltfleM Comity. Who is this man Dick Sapp, the Know ' Nothing candidate? Is he the man who I was trying to deceive the Democracy and I get the Nomination ? Is this that trench-. erous Dick ? Shame to such a traitor! Is I he the man who published that note to > John M. Jackson, in the North Georgia Times? Is he the man that was a delegate to the Calhoun Convention that Nominat ed Judge Lumpkin? Who halloed hurra?; Is he the man who voted ter Lutnpkin ? Is! he the man who joined the Know Nothings? i Is he the man whogot mad when Vandavier was nominated by that party and beat him ? j Is he the man who was a going to vote for' Dickinson Toliver the Democratic Candi-' date? Is he the man who pledged his word and honor and gave Toliver his hand that be was not run against him ? Is he the man who received and accepted the Nomination of the Know Nothing party when they found out Vandiver was not eligible ? Is he the man who was trying to deceive Democrats by offering a thou sand dollars to any one who would prove he was a Know Nothing. V es, gentleman, these are principles of the order, to deceive—its aims and its ends—the spoils of office. Yes gentle men, this is the very same clever Dick Sapp ; rotten to the heart—seeking office;! biting at every bait that is offered, like a trout at a minnow; made the lick, and has caught it. Is he a Democrat or is he a Know Nothing, can any one tell—he is j ■'•! do anything to deceive I “ their votes, and will be! that flatter him. Re f honesty in politics. Can the people believe him, when it s well known the course lie has pursuied, and that be has betrayed his best friend? Can Know Nothings trust him? Can Democrats trust him? Gentlemen cast your votes for tuen who are honest, who will not deceive you, if they were to suffer defeat—men who will stand by their principles—not popular favor. Elect Sapp - -what is the assurance that he will Leg islate for Cherokee Georgia when be gets to Milledgeville, amongst his friends in lower Georgia? Have you any assur ance that he will stand by your rights?— Elect every man to office who is from Low er Georgia—who has a plantation and a few negroes here, and you will soon have the State represented by a few rieh swell heads who have a few negroes ! Never, but vote for men who are identified with you, and not for a man who will come here and flatter you a year or two for your votes just to get to the Legislature. • “ Deceitis pictured on his face.” A VOTER. P. S. To be contin led until the patient gets better. For the Atlanta Examiner. K.»r.%♦’ Sothlng Meeting nt Caturrilac ! July 13th, 1855. We have seen the Elephant Sir ! and found him, not the formidable creature, his keepers led us to anticipate. I allude of course to the first public meeting of the Know Nothings. Counties within twenty, forty and sixty miles contributed their novel-seeking inhabitants, and the Court House was well filled. lam truly happy to see that the partially unveiled Lantern did not dazzle the eyes of the numerous Democrats, who were present, to witness the conversations which ensued after the adjournment of the meeting, as also the many new subscribers, which were obtain ed by the Democratic paper in this place. No sore catastrophe resulted from the fe verish raving of the Speakers, to the Democratic party, on the contrary, it has, as I have been inform d, made the Anti- Know-Nothings more bitterly opposed, and made many a “ Sam ” condemn the sophistical arguments, foul aspersions, and bigoted and narrow-minded senti ments which were so copiously vomitted from the undigested and deranged head and stomach of the Know-Nothing Advo cates. Mr. Fou-che, or Mr. Fowtch (which is it ?) when he ascended the Rostrum prem ised, by saying, he ‘did not seek or de sire any office’ (heaven defend us!) I left immediately, for if the premise was inconsistent—to say the least of it—the balance could not be patiently listened to. On my return the Dr. preacher alias politician—(people perhaps malic iously say, that they are all professions with him ) —theKnowNothing, a/iar Whig alias Democrat (Dr. Miller) was up and about pouring out the phials of his wrath against Foreigners and (’atholies, Steph ens and Johnson, Cooper and Lewis, and other men so infinitely beyond his reach, that 1 hesitate to name them in the same breath with that of the worthy doc tor, pious preacher, and most consistent politician. 1 could not but regret, but that so much eloquence should be wasted in so bud a eause-that so much talent should be prostituted. He portrayed (did the Dr.) the trickery & wire-pulling of the Whig and Democratic parties, and unblushingly confessed as having been one of the ‘trickster-clique’ —he a man of God ! a preacher—but he took good care to be silent, as to the chi canery and strategein used at the Macon Convention, the fiist public act of which they made the people cognizant, and of which, ho, the worthy Doctor, was a com ponent part. The Know-Nothing Conven tion was to have taken place in Avgust, for the purpose of nominating a Candi date for Governor, but the Rev. Dr. and others, with party trickstery, and old par ty acquired habits and corruptions still lurking in their veins, called a hasty and premature Convention, issued their Coup if Elat, and thus, the name of Garnett Andrews, or as some Know Nothing paper says ‘the very popular known name of Garnett Andrews,’ was neither mentioned or proposed, before the uninitiated of the initiated, he was found, in counting out the ballots, to be the fortunate nominee —this was truly Out Know-Nothing Know-Nothinyisir , and now forsooth the Rev. Politician speaks of the wire-pulling and trickstery of the Democrats. I will pass over much that the Rev. Politician said, which even his partisans confessed, he, nor no other person could substantiate, but will merely touch upon a few extravagant remarks, “proceeding from the heat oppressed brain.’’ He said (did the Doctor) “T do not think it right that our country, should be the receptacle of the effluvia (scum or some such nasty expression) ejected from the surfeited stomach of Pestilential Europe. I don’t want them here, God knows I do not want them, thus reversing the oft repeated prin ciples of the Father of our country, und invoking the name of the Almighty to show us his sincerity, in thus warring against the principles of Washington and of tjie Constitution—if this is the aim and ob ject of the Party, he at present belongs to, wo ! wo, to all Republican principles. After exhausting the calender of abuse and calumny, against Catholics and For eigners', he unwittingly betrayed some of the secrets of the Order, unknown to the uninitiated and perhaps to the supernu merary macs of initiated. He condemned the course of the President, in having ap pointed “Soule and Belmonte, who not alone, are Foreigners, but foreign circum cised note shaving and rag trading Jews” he therefore not only thought them as For eigners unworthy to fill office, but proscri bed them also for being Jews This is no religious proscription, gentlemen Know- Nothings! You would erush the Catho lics, because they believe in the Pope. and are becoming all powerful, ami thus threaten the ('num of Chureli and State. What plea have you, tor the proscription of Jews ? Do they threaten the country with Union of Church mid State ? Art they subservient to the will of the Pope ? j what sophistry, what fallacy, ean yon ad vance for this proscription ? The secret has unwillingly fallen from the lips of your Know Nothing Champion, one who had been initiated intothe trickstery of other parties, and is now pledged *to you (for a time). Are people blind ? can they not see it is a Religious Crusade, this Know-Nothing Tory movement. They publicly proscribe Catholics for believing in the Pope I they proscribe in secret, Jews, for revering the laws of Moses ? their Candidate for Governor, has pro sccribed Uniwrsaliwns ! what sect will they proscribe next ? Whom have they al ready proscribed, in their midnight Coun cils ? This proscription of Jews was un , known until the Rev. Politician permitted I his prejudice to run ahead of his discre- or his oath! They say that they mave withdrawn the veil of secrecy from the order. This is another trick to gull the unwary. Wbat have they unveiled ? Is it that they proscribe Catholics and For eigners ? This was known months ago, Is it to apprise us of their existence This surely was no secret. We recog nised each prosolyte by his changed de meanor, and the frankness and sincerity which he had bartered, for bis initiation Are these the mysteries they have reveal ed ? Is this all that was hid under the dark latern ? these are wonderful secrets truly. Have they no further secrets ?—. What mean they by initiation ! What, that they not betr ty each others adhesion to the party! Is this no secret?—they are secrets, secrets which we know the existence of, but are there no secrets, that we dream not of? Does not the accidenta l revelation made by the Rev. Politican pro voke such a belief? Nay, does it not teach us, not alone, that such secrets exist but that they are dangerous ones too ! dan gerous, alike to Methodists. Baptists, Pres byterians, Jews and other sects, as well as to Catholics ? The followers of Wesley, are already found as culpable (in the eyes of the Northern Know Nothings,) as those of the pope—the cry has gone forth against Methodism! What sect is to be offered next to Know Nothing intolerance and religious proscription ? Ye, followers of Wesley, are ye aware, that the ballot you throw in favor of the Know Nothings, is a link, which completes the chain, forged, to bind you to the tenets of the Church of America! whatever that may be (if any!) are you aware, Baptists, followers of Ro ger Williams, that, the slight touch of your favor, to this new crusade, sets a ball in motion, which will crush the principles you, adhere to, perhaps send you again, as exiles to a foreign shore, from religious proscription at home —Presbyterians ! E piscopalians ! Jews ! and all ye, that have your peculiar beliefs, are you aware, that as you transcribe your names, from the pages of your old parties, to that of the most bigoted, the darkest, the most dan gerous anti-Republican clique, that ever existed, not excepting the Jacobins, take heed, ye, that appreciate that most inesti mable of blessings, Freedom of Conscience Religious toleration ! that when you write your name to the Know Nothing compact, you sign away the great charter of Liberty, for which your forefathers bled, and which, assisted by Kosciuski, Pulaski, DeKalb, LaFayette and Hamilton, Washington secured, and perpetuated by the Constitu tion !— are you aware of this ? and “will you be supinely on your backs, hutrging the delusive phantom,” that yoizr religion will be spared ? that your creed will not be proscribed ? Be first assured, that your peculiar creed will be the most pow erful, after the entire course of religious proscription, has been gone through. Assure yourself well of this, and if you can gladden in the first spirit of bigotry, and religious intolerance, which “Like Tar quin’s ravishing stride towards his design moves like a ghost,” assist then, in shat tering the grandest, the most perfect work, ever wrought by human hands— that Con stitution ! which has made us what we are, a free, prosperous, happy people, and has made this, our beloved country, a glorious and truly a model Republic ! Ye sectarian bigots! not even can the hope in the strength of your numbers, give you this assurance, for no sooner did bigotry, violence and proscription jstalk forth in France than Faith ! and Religion I were dethroned, the worship of Reason ! instituted, giving birth to that age of mur der, and horror, which deluged France with human gore, and has been truly call ed the Reign of Terror ! The euccess of this Know Nothing movement—this reli gious crusade, will east a similar blot, on the bright pages of our brilliant History, and then ; oh I then, this ground, this glorious Republic, must fall, like Rome ! I and bring thousands of happy beings, in a : mass of min. . JOHN QUOD.

Mr .IonFS : I notice in your public*-! tion of the speech made by me at Sparta,) a typographical error of some importance,; which I wish corrected. The sentence 1 allude to, us printed, reads thus : “If this great Northern question, (re ferring to the Kansas and Nebraska bill,) ’ then had been submitted to the Southern Democrats present in the House when the I vote was taken, ana to them only, without; another vote for or against it, either from the North or South, the Bill would have i passed." The error consists in putting Northern where Southern should be ; and the sen- i tence corrected should read “//' this great Southern question, then, had been submitted to the Noi thcru Dem ocrats present in the House when the vote was taken, and to them only, without an other vote for or against it, either from the North or South, the Bill would have passed.” I will take this occasion, also, to cor rect some erroneous and conflicting state ments which I have seen in the newspa pers, upon the subject of the exact vote on the Kansas and Nebraska Bill.

Ihompevu of New Jersey, Tousey of' Conn cticutt, Weller of California, Wil liams of New Hampshire and Wright of New Jersey, were Northern Democrats; ami Io these may be added the names of Bright o! Indiana, Vice President pro tem, and Dodge of lowa, absent at the i time, but known to be a warm friend of! the bil!—making sixteen North-in Deni-j ocrats iu die S uate for the bill; while of the 13 votes against it but two Northern Democrats in that body were of tin- num ber. to-wit: Hamlin of Maine and Walker I of Wiseonsion. See Congressional Globe | same session, page 1321. Out. of the 85 votes for the bill in the Senate, there was not one Northern Whig or Northern Know Nothing. And out of the 113 votes iu the House tor the bill, there was not one Northern Know Nothing. Bad, therefore, as a portion of th j Northern Democrats are, (such men for instance, as Dix, Van Buren & C 0.,) justice to such of them as are true to the Constitution, requires it. to be made known, that a ma- i jority of them in both Houses of Congress i including good and bad together, stood by ; the rights of the South on this great ques- ] tion. And if the Kansas Bill had,been; left to the Northern Democrats, only, in cluding sound and unsound, the measure would have been carried in both Houses of Congress without another vote either foror against it from the North or South. These are important facts for the South to be informed upon and to consider well before they join any national party, one of whose main object is “crush out’’ and “put down’’ those men at the North who have proved themselves true, not only to the Union, but to the Constitution, and our rights under it, even if they do call themselves Democrats. Parties should be characteriz.ed and known by their principles and not their name. Respectfully, ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS. P. S.—Most of the seven Southern Whigs who voted against the Kansas Bill are Know Nothings and to the best of my belief, every one of them are. Crawfordville, Ga., July 12, 1855. Tei*' Q,u< Elions at Isnuc—R.va<ii. The split in the Know Nothing ranks ! between the North and the South, have 1 forced upon the South certain great ques ' tions which are the true issues of the cam ; paign ; yet, the Know Nothings here are I ignoring those questions, and are attempt- I ing to force a religion.-st upon the coun ■ try, when Northern abmiiionists have I been denounced time and a?. i::i for forcing I their peculiar doctrines up<m them. The i vital questions of the day for the South, I are protection and safety from Northern 1 legislation in the next Congress upon the Kansas Nebraska issue, the curtajmi id of Slave Territory, abolition of slavery iu the District, of Columbia &c., which clau ses are the first planks in the Know Noth ing platforms of the various States in the North, differing from the grand one at Philadelphia. These are the vital questions which are before the nation, and yet, Southern can didates and Southern “Orders” are harp ing upon something else—apparently blind to their great interests. 1 The South is very anxious to defend j the Northern States from the inroads of I foreign religion and emigration, when the ' same North has been crer forcing und \ infringing upon the rights of the South— annulling the fugitive slave law, and run ning off Southern property. Are the pco -1 pie of the South beside themselves, or why are they protecting those who betray them—desert those who have held true ,to them, and now, are strengthening a > class of politicians who have ever sought their ruin ? Why is it, we ask—why persecute those who have never joined in Ito persecute you ? Will our opponents an swer these questions ? Talk about preser ving the Union, you who have introduced questions which caused a rupture of par ty into Northern and Southern factions to day. “Oh, consistency thou art a jewel.” —Chuttanooga Advertiser. Forced to Leave.—The Orangeburg Clarion of the 4th instant learns from a private source that Joliffe, the abolition ist and executor of Ellijah Willis’ will, was advised by the citizens of Williston, S. <!., to leave that place in short order. Being indisposed to bide the consequen ces, be left on the down train of cars on Monday morning last for Cincinnati.— Willis, it will be recollected, died sud denly at Cincinnati, where he intended to liberate his slaves and give them his pro perty. The Liquor Law.—A large number of people were arrested in this city and Brooklyn, on Friday, for drunkenness.— In Brooklyn, under the Maine Law, they tine the transgressors 810; —here, in New York, they are discharged, as soon as they get sober. No arrests of liquor dealers, as yet, to speak of. New Orleans, July 12tb. The Granada has arrived, with Havana dates of the Bth.

Dr. Geissner’s celebrated Menstrual Pills have been long and widely known as invariably cer tain in removing my stoppage, irregularity, or suppression, of the menses. In the Female Hospitals in Vienna, Paris, and Berlin, they have entirely superseded the use of all other remedies; because, where a cure so attainable by medicinal agencies, they arc t. er _ tain of success.

In every casc.from whatever cause the obstruc tion may arise, as also to prevent pregnancy where the health will not admit of increase of family, they are always efficient; for which reason they must not bo used during pregnancy though always mild, healthy, safe and certain in their effect*.
