Report and Resolution of Com mittee on Iron interest—Acts State Georgia 1851- J 52. The Select Committee, appointed to enquire into the Iron interests of this State, submitted tho following Report; It was the wish and intention of your Commit tee to enquire into the whole subject embraced in the resolution of their appointment. They de sired to present to the consideration of the Sen ate a statistical table, showing not only the quan tity of Iron manufactured in the State, but like wise the amount imported and consumed by our people. But the duties imposed upon them by many important measures connected with the action of the present session, has made it impos sible for them to do so. Not being willing, how ever, to let the subject go by without action, they determined to seek such information as might be within their reach relating to the Iron interests of our own State. They knew no one so well qual ified as Major Cooper, to furnish the information they desired. For many years he has been ac tively and energetically employed in the iron business. He carried into it his fortune, his in formation, his zeal and indefatigable industry, and has labored amidst difficulties and disasters, with a courage and perseverence that must com mand the admiration and awaken the sympathies of every one who loves his State and feels for her prosperity and independence. They addressed Major Cooper upon the sub ■ ject, and received from him in reply the accom panying letter, which they beg leave to present as an appendage to their report It will be seen by reference to this paper, that Major Cooper has gone into the history of the Iron business in Geor gia. The partial success of some, and overthrow of others, who ventured to embark in its doubt ful prosecution. That Georgia embraces within herself all the natural material to make her one the first Iron States in the Union, or in the Union, or in the world, there is no doubt. That she will develope those natural resources, and build up for herself a solid wealth in that department, depends much, in the opinion of your Commitee upon the success of the pioneers in that hazard ous enterprise. What will it matter that ore coal and stone and clay, lie inexhaustible beds, and that the forest abounds in the finest and most ap propriate timber, and that the best water power in the world comes, as if bidden to tho very spot you would have it. If experience shows that tal ent and energy, and zeal, and if indefatigable and indomitable courage have labored for years with all these advantages, and reaped nothing but disappointmentand overthrow, who will trust his only bark along that channel, though calm and placid its waters seem, when all who went before him have perished. To prosecute the Iron business with success, re quires large investment of capital, and the em ployment ofnumcrous operatives. When the de mand is good, and prices remunerative, it makes rapidly; but when reverses come, nothing but the strongest backing can withstand the shock, ami one reverse tide will sweep away the labors of years. Hence it is, that in all countries, the Iron business has claimed and received the fostering hand of government to sustain it. Looking to the vast interest Georgia has in the full and pro per development of this department of her natu ral wealth, and not losing sight of the intricate connection it has with the fullest success of her great line of Railroad, your Committee would be tempted, but for the precedents, to recommend the adoption of some measure for the direct and substantial aid of those who are now struggling to luild up the Iron interest in Georgia. This, however, they do not ask, but simply appeal to us to give them the preference, all things being equal, over foreign competition, so far as we, as a State, have patronage to be bestow. Shall we refuse this most reasonable request? Belie ing we will not, your Committc ask the adoption of the following: Resolved, by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, That the Iron interest in Georgia is one of much value to the State, and deserves the habitual regard ofthe people. That the Gov ernor be and he is hereby requested to give such direction to the operations of the State Road in its transportation department, as will sustain the Iron business and the. Coal trade. That the Superintendent of tiie Western and Atlantic Railroad is hereby authorized to make such con tracts for the supply of Iron for said Road, as he may think best crlculated to advance the interest offiie Road, and the prosperity of the State ; and to negotiate such terms as ho may deem expedi ent therefor. Assented to January 25, 1852. Instance of Pulpit Eloquence. In the life of John Flavel, a renowned dissent ing preacher of England, it is said “one of those omens, which are supposed to announce future eminence, accompanied his birth. A pair of nightingales made their nest on the window of the chamber of his mother, and with their delicious X notes sang tho birth of him, whose tongue sweet ly proclaimed the glad tidings which gave songs ia the night.” I cannot assert that the oratori cal distinction of John C. Burris was preceded by any such incident, but it has seldom been my fortune to hear a more mclifluous and sedative speaker, in very early life, a student in Wash ington city, 1 heard the famous .Summerfield, a young Methodist itinerant. His face and form were of womanly, almost of angelic beauty. A divine lustre beamed from his eyes. His clear -jll, sonorous voice, fell like the tones of a moun tain bell one moment, and, anon, camo crashing thundering down, with terrible effect on the startled masses, forcing them to cry aloud ami crowd together, with uplifted arws, as though for shelter from an impending avalanche. His elo quence shook sin from its citadels and dragged vice and fashion from their “pride or place.”— The sensation ho produced was tremendous.— Multitudes followed his footsteps. As a field preacher he towed alongside of Whitfield; but he soon went down to the grave, consumed by his own fire, and called to a higher sphere for some nscrutable purpose. It is related of Bossuet, that when ho pronoun ced the funeral sermon of tho Princess Henrietta and described her dying agonies, the whole audi ence rose from their seats, with terror in every countenance. When Massion ascended the pulpit, on the death of Louis XIV., he contemplated for a mo ment tho impressive spectacle—the chapel drap ed in black—the magnificent mansoleum raised over the bier—the dim but vast apartment filled with the trophies of the glory of the monarch, and with the most illustrious persons in tho king dom. He looked down on the gorgeous scene beneath, then raised his arms to heaven and said, in a solemn subdued tone, “Mes seres Dieu scut est grand!" God only is great. With one im pulse, ali the audience arose, turned to the altar and reverently bowed.] When Dr. Hussey preached at Waterford, on the snisll number of the elect, he asked wheth er, if the arch of Heaven were to open, and the Bon ol Man should appear to judge his hearers it were “quite certain that three—that two nay, trembling for myself as well as for you, is it cer tain that one of us,” he exclaimed in a voice of thunder, “would be saved?" During the whole of this apostrophe, the audience was organized. At the ultimate interrogation, there was a gen eral shriek, and some fell to the ground. M. Brioaine, a French missionary, and the peer of the most renowned orators of that elo quent nation, preached a sermon at Bagnole. At the end of it he lifted up his arms and thrice cried in a loud voice, O Eternity At the third repetition of this awful cry, tho whole party fel on their knees. Dur.ng three days, consterma tion pervaded tho town - In the publie' places, Voting and old were heard crying aloud. Mrrcu ■ Oh Lord, Mercy The Harvest.—As regards the harves throughout Great Britain a letter dated at London on the 17th ultimo says that in every thing it {continues to promise well During the previous week the weather has been unusually stormy, but the rain was greatly wanted, and if the next five weeks should prove tolerably fine the yield of grain, both in quality and quantity, was likely to prove excellent. The good re ports from thi# side had also increased the favorable feeling; but one of the must important circumstances this year connec ted with the propable supply of food con sists in the intelligence that for the first time in eight years there is reason to be lieve that the potatoe crop in Ireland and elsewhere will be free from blight. Ut An invention, we sec it is stated, has f ■ made in Boston, by which a girl can mal thousand cigars in a day. Yellow Fever in Norfolk. AH the precaution and care of the authorities of Norfolk and Portsmouth have not, we regret to learn, been sufficient to prevent the spread ofthe yellow, fever, which recently broke out at Gosport, into those towns. In regard to Ports mouth our reports are not full nor connected. From the statement of of the Sanitary Com mittee, however, it appears that on Sunday there were ten new cases and three deaths.— The same committee express the opinion that all caube traced clearly to Gosport. This dreadful scourge appears to have made its first appearance in Norfolk city on Sunday, and up to noon of Monday, the date of our last dispatch, there had been seventeen cases and two deaths. It was still hoped, however, that means would yet be found to stay it before if became an epidemic. In Gosport, where the fever first broke out, it was at the accounts, on the increase. Dur ing the 24 horn’s ending Friday night there were twelve new cases and five deaths. There are some twenty cases under treatment, most of whom are our adopted Irish citizens. The outbreak of the yellow fever in these towns on the Virginia coast is a striking verifi cation ofthe theory to which many adhere, that this fearful plague proceeding from the south to the north, is by some mysterious law, destined to visit all the towms of the Atlantic region, before it shall have spent its energies.— San. Gear. A Peculiar Case.—A finder of money or other valuable property should always take prompt measures by advertising or otherwise to to make restoration to the owner. In Rochester New York a few days since a dishonest man by the name of Thomas Hall who neglected this duty was convicted of grand larcerny and sentenced to two years hard labor in the State Prison He had found a package of §1 ,600 and carried it to his boarding’ house. During his temporary absence a woman discovered the package anil took from it a small portion of money. Hall subsequently carried the remainder to his brother and asked him what it would be best for him to do in relation to it. His brother consulted the honest course, but before Hall could adopt it he was arrested and held to answer tor larceny. Upon the trial it was not shown that he had appropriated a dollar of the amount to his own use, but as he had neglected to take the proper steps to find an owner, he was obliged to sutler the consequences. Know.Xotliinglsin In Its Nakedness; OR A NEW WAV TO PROTECT CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. The second article of the Constitution of the National Council of North America as pub lished in the Richmond Enquirer, the Charles ton Mercury and the New Orleans Delta, reads thus: “ The object, of this organization shall be to protect every American citizen in the legal and proper exercise of all his civil and religions rights and privileges; to resist the insidious policy of the Church of Rome, and all other for eign influence, against our republican institu tions, in all lawful ways ; to place in all offices of honor, trust or profit in the gift of the people, or by appointment, none but native born Prot estant citizens; and to protest and uphold the union of these States and the Constitution of the same.” It will be seen in article four of the Consti tution for the giving of the first, second and third degree, that after the candidate for admis sion is duly prepared outside by an oath that he is not a Catholic, or if a Protestant, that he is not married to a Catholic wife, &c., he is then taken inside and made to swear a solemn oath, amounting in substance to the following: KNOW-NOTHING OATH PUT IN PLAIN ENGLISH. 1. I solemnly swear that I will never vote either for a Catholic, or a man whose wife is a Catholic, or for any naturalized citizen, for any office, either Municipal, State or Federal. 2. I also solemnly swear, that I will never, if T ever have the dispensing of official patronage, give an office to any Catholic, or person whose wife' is a Catholic, or to any naturalized citizen. 3. And I also swear, that if ever I am an. officer of the City, State or Federal govern ment, and find in any office under my control, any naturalized citizen, or any Catholic, or any person whose wife is a Catholic, that I will turn such person out of office. “And I also swear that i will never vote for any man for any office within the gift of the people who is not a native-born American citi zen, in favor of Protestant Americans riding America,” &c. The Grave of Franklin. Great and widespread as is the fame of the “Printer Philosopher,” and proud as the peopl<|of Philadelphia are of their illustrious townsman, we doubt much if one in a hundred*of the present generation of Philadelphians have ever seen his tomb. Thousands pass daily within a few feet of the spot where his ashes and those of his wife repose, without being conscious of tho fact, or, if aware ot it, unable to obtain a glimpcs of the grave. Tho bones of the lightning tamar lie within a very short distance of Arch street, in the northwest corner of Christ Church grave-yard at Filth and Arch streets As is generally known the spot is marked by a slab of marble, which is almost level with the earth, and which bears the simple inscription; “Benjamin and Deborah F ankl! n.” If the wall at this point was removed, and a neat iron railing was erected, in its stead, every passer-by would be afforded the gratification of seeing the grave, a gratification now very difficult to obtain. In a Philadelphia newspaper, published in De cember, 1774, we find the following notice ofthe death of Mrs. Franklin: On Monday, the 19th inst., died at an advan ced age, Mrs. Deborah Franklin, wife of Dr. Benjamin Franklin; and on the Thursday follow ing her remains were interred in tho Christ Church Burying Ground. The announcement ofthe duath and burial cf Mrs. Franklin was as simple and unostentatious as the slab and its pithy inscription, which marks her final resting place.— Phil, Bulletin. A Safe Investment.—A Hartford (Ct.) paper tells a story ol an American who deposited SIOO in the hands of an Englishman, fi r which he was to receive $25 per month until Sebastopol was taken. This was the Ist of November list, and the American has received his $25 per month ever since that time. One hundred dollars could hardly have been invested better. Strange Accident.—As the first train from Saxonville was coming to the city yesterday mor ning, on the Boston and Worcester Railroad, when near Cambridge crossing, the open door of a baggage car on a side track was caught by the forward part ot the last passenger car, ripped otf and thrown violently into the window of the passenger car. It narrow ly missed one of the head of one passenger, and struck Mr. Samuel Shism, of the Frankling Printing House, of tnis city, on the arm, which it bruised anti mad man gled severely. Irom which he suffered great pain, but no bone was broken. He was attended by Boston physicians, and afterwards carried to his homo at Newton Corner. Another of Washington’s Slaves Discoven ed.—A writer in the Rochester American says that a former slave of Gen. Washington, named Richard Stamp, or Stanhope, li. es at the old age of 108 years. He has in his possession the orig inal papers giving him his freedom, in Gen. Washington's own handwriting, for which he has refused quite a sum of money. He had rather part with his farm than his papers. He owns about one hundred acres some ten miles north of the village of Urbana, bought with money given him by his illustrious master. He is now living with tho sixth wife, and to all appearaueo, enjoying life as well as the youngest- Dbedfcl Accident.—Yesterday morning a bout 9 o’clock, a lad by the name of Montgomorv was caught in the machinery, in Kno laugh’s furniture manufactory, on Columbia street, a tew doors west of Elm street, and whirled around against the ceiling ami the door, until his bodv was terribly mangled mid life extinct.

Gazette 'Zt>th. AIL, ITEMS. BfSb. Mr. Bailey, the author of Festus, has a poem in press, entitled “The Mystic,” which is described as wilder in imagery and purpose than “Festus;” dealing with higher and more mysterious arguments, and having in it still less of human sympathy and human emotion. An other poem, lyrical in form is to accompany “The Mystic." fifty* The English engiAers spent ten days in erecting an eight-gun batWyin order to oppose a small Russian work of six guns near the Re dan. When finished it was found to be several feet too low to command the irregularities of the intervening ground. fifty The amount of money sent to Ireland from the United States in 185-1 was £1,730,- 000, or nearly eight million dollars, which is one million and a half more than in 1853. fi@"' The widow of Count Batthyani, after assigning all her fortune to her heirs, and dis tributing 20.000 florins to her domestics, lias entered the Convent of Sisters cf Mercy, foun ded by r her at Pinkafieltl, upon the frontiers of Hungary, and has assumed the name of “Sister Fanny.” IS®”' The Universe publishes a sonnet to the Virgin, composed by General Verge, who. it appeal’s, made a vow at the moment when he was leading his brigade to the assault of the Mamelon Vert, that if he escaped death that day, he would openly acknowledge the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Dr. Knapp, of Covington, Ky., has pub" lished a lengthy essay, in which he professes to have discovered the cause of cholera. He defines it to be. in medical phraseology, “a hemorrhage termination, or a manifestation of the dying phenomena of scorbutus.” Hgk=The Medical profession of New Orleans, after having been discussing for several years’the orign of the yellow fever, which has desolated that city, is now of the opinion that it is imported. On this question the faculty stands in the pro portion of eight to two, the disease is. therefore, of local origin. Appointments by the President. —Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, to be Commissioner of the General Land Office, in the place of John Wilson, removed. Josiah Minot, of New Hampshire, to be Com missioner of Pensions, in the place of Loren P. Waldo, resigned. Murray McConnel, of Illinois, to be Fifth Auditor of the Treasury, in the place of Josiah Minot, appointed Commissioner of Pensions. fiSg-Tke Independence of Brussels says that on the occasion of the Queen s visit to Paris there will be a fete of surpassing magnifi cence at Versailles. The entire park will be illuminated as it was in the time of Louis XIV. The outbreak of the yellow fever in these towns on the Virginia coast is a striking verification ofthe theory to which many adhere, that this fearful plague proceeding from the south to the north, is by some mysterious law, destined to visit all the towns of the Atlantic region, be. fore it shall have spent its energies. Buffalo, August 3.—Yesterday, a lady staying at the Falls of Niagara, whose behavior had excited suspicion, was followed by some per son from Table Rock up to the Rapids, and when she had walked a short distance she sud denly plunged into the Rapids before her pur suers could reach her. One of them however ran down the bank and 1 wading in the water was enabled to snatclf’her from the Rapids as she was floating by towards the brink of the Falls. She is from Toronto, and assigns a difficulty with her husband as the reason for the rash act. Gold from Australia.—The British ship Red Jacket, with the Australian mails for En gland, put into Rio Janeiro on the 19th of June for supplies, and sailed on the following day. She had three hundred passengers and the immense sum of three 'e.illon dollars in gold, making, with the manifest of the ship Light ning, upwards of five millions of gold shipped from Australia for England within thirty days. Tho Grand Duke of Tuscany has releas ed the unfortunate cigarmaker Cecchetti, who was sentenced to a year's imprisonment for rea ding the Bible in company with the members of his own family. The Marquis of Normandy had interested himself on behalf of Cecchetti, and the Grand Duke has now remitted the rem ainder of the sentence, on condition of Cecchetti absenting himself from Tuscany. B@to'l'ce Jourul de Chimfe Medicale states, that Dr. Blondlat, of Nancy, lias related the particulars of a series of four murders, in which arsenic administered by one individual, was de tected in bodies that had been buried sixteen and twenty years. In the latter instance, the coffin had become entirely disintegrated, and the bones of the skeleton lay detached from each other, the ligamentous partshaving disappeared. The brain, however, was found entire, but shrunk to the size of a fist. The weight of this brain was about eleven ounces, and was found to contain arsenic. Hear llkxky Clay!—The Nashville IFhig and Politician, of November 26 1847, (says the Nashville Union,) has been handed us by an old line Whig of this county, with the re quest that we would copy the following extract from a speech delivered by Henry Clay at a barbacue near Lexington, Ky., on the 13th November, 1847. These sentiments were re ceived with delight by men who are now ma king Know Nothing speeches, and professing greatrtear of the Pope. What shameless hypo crites! Mr. Clay stud: “What other rule can there be than to leave the followers of each religion to their own sol emn convictions of conscientious duty to God ? Who but the Great Author of the universe, can judge in such a question ? For my own part, I sincerely believe and hope, tiiat those who be long to all the departments ofthe great church of Christ, if in truth and purity, they conform to the doctrines which they profess, will ulti mately secure an abode in those regions of bliss which all aim finally to reach. 1 think that there is no potentate in Europe, whatever his religion may be, more enlightened or at this moment so interesting as the papal head of the Papal See.” Among the passengers in the steamship Ariel arrived at New York at Havre,on Saturday, was Mr. William C. Barney, who is bearer of a proposition to our government already sanctioned by the government of France. It provides that the postage on letters between these two countries will be greatly reduced, the direct communication more frequent, and these increased mail facilities will not cost either government anything more than the ocean postage recived on the let ters carried. There has been quite an excite ment at Saratoga’Springs. The rules are that no colored people shall drink from the glasses used by the whites. On the I 27th forty blacks marched in a body to I one of the springs, and one of them snatched a glass from the hand of a lady j and drank irom it. A New York gentle-1 man drew a revolver, and some' parley the blacks retired. Rathbr Shari*. —The following conversation is said to have passed between a venerable old ; lady and a certain presiding judge in .

She pretends) to know mere a .out these matters than the 1 judge himself I Had you not better, madam, come, and take a seat on the bench’’ •No. sir. thank you. for I really think there are ' old women enough there already.’ [From the Boston Pos/.J A Geographical Line. When the line of 36 30 was established in 1820, the illustrious Jefferson, who deprecated the policy of it, tuus wrote of the slavery ques tion : “It is hushed for the moment. But this is a reprieve only and not a final sentence. A geo graphical line, coninciding with a marked prin ciple, moral and political, once conceived and held up to the angry passions of men can never be obliterated, and every new irritation will mark it deeper and deeper.” These words were penned April 22, 1820. — How profound was his reasoning 1 How pro phetic were these pregnant words! Every hour time is verifying their truth. As a fit commentary on these words we copy the. following history from a communication in the New York Journal of Commerce : “For the first time in the history of the coun try, its peace was seriously disturbed in 1820. Under the administration of President Jefferson, and contrary to his own views of its constitu tionality, Louisiana was acquired in 1803. A majority ofthe states did not however regard the act as usurpation, and the treaty with France was ratified upon the plea of ‘state necessity.’ Louisiana became the property of the United States, and in the course of time, a part of that territory having the constitutional requirements as to population, &c., asked of congress admis sion into the Union as a State, upon terms of equality. Slavery existed in nearly all the states in 1787. It was in Louisiana when pur chased, and by the constitution it is recognized and protected as an institution in our body pol itic. Congress was not supposed to be its spe cial guardian, or as having any authority to ex tend or contract its limits. The people were presumed to be is legitimate custodians, and to them should the question be always left as to its existence in the territories or states. But the congress of 1820 and '2l, being wise above the written law, assumed a power and a right not its own, and when Missouri with her con stitution, satisfactory to her people, and repub lican in its form, prayed admission into the bond of the Union as a co-equal state, that congres became the arena of a fierce and bitter contest, upon the question of her reception as a slave state. She was however admitted with slavery; but a restriction was laid upon the territory north of 36.30, and a line drawn upon that par allel of latitude, beyond which slavery was not to go. From that moment, peace departed from the halls of Congress, and sectional dis cord has continued to yield its poisonous and bitter fruit. The sins of the fathers are now visited upon the children. Geographical lines, and local discrimination, dark forebodings and significant threats, with a hostile people and civil war, are in the full tide of what is likely to be a successful experiment. The ship of state is fast drifting upon the rocks and shoals of fanaticism north, and secession south. Anx ously we gaze into the future, and hopefully we pray that the danger may be averted.” Thus far a true Americanism has proved equal to every occasion when the laws, the con stitution and the Union required to be protects ed; and this warrants the belief, that the trea sonable designs of abolitionism will not be suc cessful ; but that a patriotic crew will rescue the ship of state from the rocks and shoals that are ahead. From the Daily Morning News. An Historical Item lor the Know Nothings. Mr. Editor :■— By inserting the following his torical scrap you’ll do an act of justice to a much calumniated people and conifer a favor on A Citizen of Foreign Birth. 6th August, 1855. Who were the "sons of the sires ?” Let the following scrap of history, taken at an exami nation of Mr. Galloway, before Parliament, in reference to this very subject answer, It will do it more faithfully than any which can come from the Know Nothing councils. (luostion— That part of the rebel army that enlisted in the service of the Congress, were they chiefly composed of the natives of Ameri ca, or were the greater part of them English, Dutch, and Irish? Answer— The names and places of their na tivity being taken down I can answer the ques tion with precision. There was scarcely one fourth natives of America; about one half Irish; the other fourth were English and Scotch. This “scrap” may be unpalatable to the se cret order, but truth will vindicate herself.— All who have read the history of the war of in dependence, and of the Pennsylvania line in particular, will have seen that there were, only 17,000 Irish in that famous line through the war, What would that proportion give at the present day ? Figure it up ye true Americans. —Pennsylvanian. Good News from Harris.—A gentle man from Harris’ informed us yesterday, that the anii-Know Nothings had a grand rally in Harris, on Saturday, 28th ult. About 700 persons were presant. We saw the call and the names assigned thereto, numbering 304, of whom, our informant ssys, 115 were whlgs. The meeting was addressed by Col. Ramsey, Dr. Gibbs, Maj. Dozier and Dr. Hamilton of Colum bus. We rejoice to see on the list the names of Col. Mobley and Maj. Dozier. We should be happy to meet them and give them our right hand of fellowship.— Our informant says Harris is safe for the Republicans of Harris! From this information, we set down the Third District as safe for Johnson and Smith.—Empire State. A correspondent of the London News says the English headquarters, lately occupied by Lotd Raglan. is the dirtiest place that he ever saw, except the French camp and Turkish towns. He adds: “I rode in there to post a letter the day after Lord Raglan’s death, and I know not what it may be for those who were accus tomed to it; but coming, as I did, from the fresh pure air of Baldar, I was obliged to compress my smelling organ while rid ing round the house, to avoid the perfume —first, of innumerable heaps of nondes cript nastiness, such as old bones, old clothes, kitchen refuse; secondly, of num erous sheepskins, which lay in small piles and fermented in the sun; thirdly, of large quantities of offal, mainly the entrails of slaughtered animals; fourthly, of a dead bullock; and lastly of stable manure, and numerous small establishments described generally in the army under the name of the rear. The tout ensemble was abomin able, and considering the smallness of the : area in which all the above horrors were collected, close around the house, I must ) say that not only need poor Lord Raglan’s I death excite no surprise, but the wonder is that one of his staff has survived to i accompany his remains to England.” ■ Fanny Wallack was recently play- ; ing Juiiet at Leeds, England and just’ when she had exelamed, “O! cruel poison!” ' a tall lean, guant, sandy-haired medical i student in the stage-box, deeply absorbed i in the scene, thrust down his hat on his ' head with a convulsive effort, crying out i in a voice of thunder at the same time, I ‘ Keep him up, Juliet, I’ll run out and ; fetch the stomach pump!” No I gly Women Engaged.-TEc New Orleans Picayune, in noticing a new the-' atre to be opened there on a grand scale i says that one of the manager’s rules is to have no “ugly women” in his corps dram-1 atique, and that his motto is to be, “youth, i beauty, profusion of light, flower.- gayety.” The Catestrophe to the Steamer General McDonald. The Philadelphia papers publish extended de tails of the collision on the Dele ware on Saturday night of the steamer General McDonald and the schooner A. G Pease. The Ledger .ays:— The steamer General McDonald had been char tered by Mr. Jarrett, of Baltimore, and she was advertised to leave Dock street wharf at eight o’clock, and stop at New Castle, to take on board ■the excursionists from Baltimore and Washing ton. When the boat left her wharf there were more than one hundred passengers on board ; the night was very dark and raining heavily, con- ’ sequently the pilot was compelled to use grrnt caution in treading his way down the Delaware for fear of coming in conteet with other vessels. When a short distance above the Lazaretto, white those on board were enjoying themselves an 4 dilating upon the pleasures of a dip in old ocean, on their arrival at the Island, the pilot of the Mc- Donald discovered a schooner close upon the bow I of the steamer, with head up stream. A sharp j and quick turn of the wheel acused the McDonald [ to sneer a little bat not sufficient to escape the) threatening danger for the next moment a loud’, crash was heard, intermingled with screams and , loud exclamations from those on board the stea mer and the schooner which caused the most in-| tense excitement and fright among the passen-) sengers. In a moment it was discovered that the j bowspirt of the schooner had entered the side of; the steamer, in front of thfe wheel-house, about' 30 feet from her bow, on the larboard side, and ' sweeping oil the barber shop, injuring the wheel house, guards, stauncheons and timbers, while! the schooner continued to ride safely, save the i loss of her bowspirit, and some few other injuries. The steamer was forced from her course, and made to careen over nearly to her guards by the force of the collision, but fortunately for the living freight on board, her hull was uninjur ed But the saddest portion of the story remains to be told, and that is tile loss of life, though to what extent we arc not yet able to tell, as there ! was no register of the names of passengers on board i and the passengers themselves being strangers to ■ each other, could not tell, except in two cases, who ■ were misssing. Some of those on board say i that, when the room used as a barber shop was ' broken and carried overboard, there were ten or! fifteen parsons precipitated into the river with . it, while others say there were but four inside, at the time of the accident. Be that as it may, there j seems to be no doubt as to the drowning of Mr. Douglass, one of the agents of Canning’s Cape May Express, and of the Baltimore Railroad Company, and a colored boy belonging to the boat. Among those swept overboard was Mr. Walters, editor of the Delaware county Republi can; who was fortunately rescued by Capt. Spen cer, of the schooner “Maria L. Hill” of Portland though much bruised. Mr. Coverdale, agent of the Express Despatch, at Beverly, was much, bruised. The steamer McDonald, after the accident, was anchored in the stream, and the agent, Mr. Cohen, landed at Chester, and informed Mr. Huddell, who obtained a car, came to Philadel phia, and procured the services of the steamer Sun, which vessel left her wharf about 1 o’clock yesterday morning, returning, about four, A. M, Ninety-eight of the passengers were brought up by the Sun and safely landed. At 7 o’clock, the Sun returned to the scene of the accident, and towed the McDonald to Wilming ton for repairs.

Pease in formed us that his vessel was anchored in the stream with the usual light displayed, and at the time of the accident himself and some of toe crew were sitting on the deck of his vessel. They observed the steamboat coming down the river, but bad no idea of a collision until a very brief period before it occured. The jibboom, bowspirt catheads and cut-water of the schooner were carried away, and the plank shear cutin. These are about the only injuries sustained by this ves sel. Mr. Coverdale, of Beverly, was injured, it is supposed, internally, as he was spitting blood ali the way up to the city. He thinks there must have been at least twenty persons in the. barber shop at the time of the accident and that he and Mr. Walters were the only ones saved. At the time of the collision the McDonald ca reened over, and the chain box broke loose from its fastenings, and was launched into the Dele ware on the opposite side of the boat. Mr. Huddle returned yesterday afternoon from the scene of disaster, and from him we learn that Mr. Mark Warne, a brother-in-law of Mr. Wal ters, is missing, and supposed to be drowned,— Also, a man named Ramsby or Ramsy, who lived ■ in South Street. Mr. Winslow, Mr. Walters,; and his brother in law, had been in the barber ' shop but a few minutes before they were hurled i with great force into the water Mr. bad his left arm injured, and one of his fingers ; cut off, the piece hanging only by the skin; he replaced the parts and bound it up. Late yester-; day afternoon the body of a man floated into ■ Chester, upon a piece of timber, or rather the | timber kept him up in consequence ofthe end of! it having been forced into him. The timber,: struck him on the pocket book, which was forced j into his abdomen. It was taken out, and inside I I of it was found some money, and an enveloed 1 i directed to George, or John G. Eshlemere, Esq., j Lancaster city, Lancaster co., Pa., on the back ; in pencil mark, was the word Monday, and some other memorandum, which was almost obliterated by blood. Mr. Huddell says that three vessels were an chored near the scene of disaster and that the pi lot, in attempting to get by two of them, ran into the A. G. Pease. A ‘Strange’ Preacher. His name was Strange. Many will think his conduct was also. He was a zealous preacher and a sweet singer. Nothing gave him so muehjpleas ure as to go strange alrout the country preaching and singing. A lienevolent gentleman, well off in worldly gear, desiring to make him and his family comfortable in their declining years, gen erously presented him a title-deed tor three hun dred and twenty acres of land. Strange accept ed the donation with thankfulness, and went his way, preaching and singing as he went. But af ter a tew months he returned and requested his generous friend to take back the title-deed.— Surprized at the request, the gentleman inquir ed, ‘ls there any flaw in it?’ ‘Not the slightest. ‘ls not the land good?' ‘First-rate.’ ‘lsn’t it healthy?’ •None more so.’ •Why then do you wish tne to take it back ? It will be a comfortable home for you when you I grow old, and somthing for your wife and child-' ren if you should be taken away ’ ‘Why, I’ll tell you. Ever since I’ve had that | deed I’ve lost my enjoyment in singing. I can't I sing mylfavorite hymn with a good conscience , any longer.” •What is that?’ ; This— “ ‘No foot of land do I possess, No cottage in the wilderness, A poor wayfaring man. II dwell awhile in tents below, Or gladly wander to and fro, ’Till I my Canaan gain. Yonder's my house and portion lair, My’ treasure and my heart are there. And my abiding home:’” i ‘There?’ said Strange, ‘l’d rather sing that hymn than own America. I’ll trust the Lord to take care of my wife and children.’ He continued singing and preaching, and preaching and singing, and the Lord, said the lecturer, did take care of him and his children after him. The True Grit. —A young man of this county recently made proposals of marriage to one of our farmer’s daughters whose father was an Englishman. She inquired whether he was or was not a Know-Nothing. At first he equivocated, but acknowledged he was. Upon this the lady informed him that she could neither love nor marry a man who would politically degrade her father and brothers. He acknowledged his error and has withdrawn from the Hindoos, and no doubt feels that he is a better man, andintendsto do betterfor the) future. The woman that does not love ' her father would not be suitable fora wife,; and the man that does not respect his I ->tbcr-in-law will surely make a mean ..u, i'uud. —Brookville Dem. i u The Watclunan.” Thu following beautiful lines, written alter pe rusing the new and popular novel ••’l’lie Watch man,” publinhcd by 11.

MOST IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES , Dr. Geissner’s celebrated Menstrual Pills have ! been long and widely known us invariably cer . tain in removing my stoppage, irregularity, or I suppression, of the menses. In the Female Hospitals in Vienna, Paris, and Berlin, they have entirely superseded the use of all other remedies; beciuse, where a cure is attainable by medicinal agencies, they are cer tain of success.

In every case 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 be used during pregnancy, though always mild, healthy, safe and certain in their efleets.
