t A Sad Occurrence.
On Sunday morning last, about five miles
rom Camden, near the residence of Col. W. J.
Taylor, the elephant attached to the Circus and
Menagerie of C. F. Bailey & Co., which exhib
ited in our town ou Saturday afternoon and
vening, killed a horse and his keeper. It ap
pears there was a difficulty in getting the ani
mal across the bridge near CoT. Taylor’s mill,
and after some trouble they succeeded in get
ting him over by another way. The elephant
from some cause became angry, and the horse
coming in his way was gored to death. After
ascending the hill on the other side of the mill
race, at the forks of the Columbia anti McCord's
Ferry Roads, the elephant again became unruly,
wanting to go to the left in place of the right.
The keeper, whose name we learn is George
West, undertook to punish him; whereupon
the enraged animal seized and threw him up,
piercing the poor man through the body, and
mangling him otherwise in a shocking manner,
so that he died in a few minutes.
Mr. Bailey returned immediately to Camden
and informed the coroner, Z. J. DeHay, who
summoned a jury and repaired to the spot, when,
after the usual formalitions, the jury returned a
verdict in accordance with the fact, viz: “that
the said George West came to his d eath from
wounds inflicted by the tusks of the elephant
attached to the Circus of Bailey & Co.”
In the afternoon, a requisition was made up
on the Camden Light Infantry to go and kill
the elephant, which had become a terror to all.
A detachment under command of Lieut James
J. Villonigne, immediately responded to the
cull, and arming themselves with powder and
ball, repaired to the scene. They did not, how
ever, succeed in killing the elephant that night,
but went again on yesterday morning, and with
the addition of several other gentlemen, not
members of the Company, succeeded, after a
long and dangerous struggle, in despatching
him.
The Circus Company, which hud advertised
to perform in Columbia on Mondhy—yesterday
—were obliged to take another road in order
to avoid coming in contact with the enraged
monster. We learn that this is the only man
which this elephant has killed ; he was evident
ly a vicious animal, as the keeper had difficulty
in keeping him within bounds on Saturday.—
It is a considerable loss to the Company, but
nothing to be compared to the danger that there
was in allowing him to gout large. This event
has created a considerable stir in our communi
ty, and the thanks of the same are due to the
gallant men engaged in the dangerous enterprise.

[Own the Augusta Constitutionalist;]
Rome, Ga., Aug. 27,1855.
7b the Editor of the Chronicle If Sentinel—
Sir : 1 have seen and read yonr article in de
fence of Dr. Miller, which also, may be con
strued into a contradiction of what 1 am repor.
ted to have said. I have avoided charging that
Dr. Miller sought, and would have accepted the
Democratic nomination for Congress, for the
reason that Dr. Miller said to me a few days
before the Convention met, that he could not
accept a nomination. 1 was induced to think
otherwise afterwards, from conversation with
others, and from a circumstance which Dr.
Miller well understands. I have no knowledge
of my own that he desired the nomination ; 1
have not sought to do him injustice, nor do 1
now seek it. lam a plain man of facts. 1
charged Dr. Miller, in various speeches, with
being in consultation with Democrats iu Rome,
on the 11th of June, 1855, iu relat ion to the
policy of the party at the approaching .Con
vention on the 12th—that Lumpkin was nomi
nated und Miller defeated (Miller received the
vote from Floyd county) : und on the 13th or
14th, Miller made a Know Nothing speech in
Rome, iu Secret Council.
Do you understand that Dr. Miller’s letter to
his friend in Augusta, denies these charges, or
will you sav you are authorized to do so for
him ? If they arc denied, I am prepared to
prove them by unquestionable evidence. We
have known each other a long time, but
don t feel alarmed; 1 have no intention to turn
author and write your life—a little proof might
aid your assertion in relation to myself, Many
valiant knights who have gone that way before
you, have learned that iu a contest there are
blows to receive, as well as blows to give.
I have not time to attend to you now; I am
lighting the enemies of the Constitution. At a
convenient season. I will pay you my respects.
Your historical reminiscence in relation to what
my respected father is falsely charged to have
said of me. reminds one very $ forcibly of the
“brave man who stood behind ’a tree' and fired
on his adversary.”

A Lady withYv Wooden Leg.—" Henry,”
who formerly consulted us about a young lady
tith a wooden leg, has now brought the mat
er to a crisis by marrying her; and now, after a
months experience: an cut ire honeymoon; Henry
says;
“1 am happy to say a wooden leg is no bad
bargain. 1 married Jessie about a month ago:
she refusal to give up the wooden leg for a cork
one.’as she said she detested false appearances
She is always at home except when she goes out
with myself, she never flirts with other men; she
never dances at a party; she requires oniy one
stocking and one boot or shoe, and these serve
her a long time, as she does not walk much, and
yet she is not unplesant to talk with; she differs
very little from other young women. The only
expense of the wooden leg is the breaking of a
strap which is easily repaired and the supplying
a little gutta-percha for the end of it, to prevent
noise in walking.—Balancing profit aginst loss,
a lady with a wooden leg is rather profitable, not
to speak of other benefits. I find in Jessie all
that enjoyment one could desire.”—London Fam

Latest from Fort Reii.y.—An officer of
the army just arrived from the West brings
minute accounts from Fort Reily. When the
cholera appeared at that post, all the troops were
scouting except the band of the regiment. Ma
jor Ogden and Surgeon Simons were the only
officers present, and there were many laborers
employed in the Quarmaster’s department. Dr.
Simmons was put in command of the band,
and marched it escorting the ladies of the gar
rison to a place of safety. The doctor return
ed to his post immediately after performing
this duty, ne and Major Ogden being then the
only military men in the fort. The Major died
and the Surgeon himself was brought to the
point of death. During his illness, the work
men plundered the public stores and fled. As
soon as it was possibly to remove Dr. Simmons
he was taken to the place were he had left the
band, and afterwards to Fort Leavenw'orth.—

Printers’ Bills and Electricity.
“It has been ascertained, says a cotemporary,
that people who pay the printer yearly, are sel
dom struck by lightning. If this be a bona
fide fact, we have in our mind’s eye a few who
ought to procure lightning rods instanter."
We know that Printers, as a class, absorb an
astonishing amount of electricity. They usu
ally become so completely drained of every
other species of vitality by hard drill, incessant
toil, husk. diet, &e.. that it requires no small
amount of the subtle fluid to keep them in mo
tion. But whether they have power of con
trolling the electric current and using it as an
agent in victimizing delinquents, we have not
as yet been able to prove, as the most of our
patrons are prompt and reliable. But it does
seem probable that the "man of ink” that is
the most fatly fed and liberally feed, can diffuse
a greater amount of useful, naidful news, and
consequently is allowed to use more of the elec
tric current in exchanging dispatches, and
talking telegraphically with his cotemporaries.
Benjamin Franklin was a printer, and the first
to tame the wild electric element. Who knows
I but what he has bequeathed a secret power to
I his successors in the Art ? Perhaps the mod
ern revelator. "Sam,” has divulged to “the or

Balloon Ascension on Horseback.—Pro
fessor Elliot who is well known in Washington
as a daring aeronaut, made an ascension from
St. Louis last week on horseback. The Repub
lican says:
“Agreeably to announcement, Professor El
liott madtfliis aerial voyage on horsback. The
ground inside of the enclosure was thronged
with ladies and gentlemen, to witness his peril
ous voyage, while outside the numbers could
only be enumerated by thousands. There
were many who thought the ’horse’ would not
go up: but true to the appointed time, he was
harnessed to the aria! car, and at a given signal
with Professor Elliott on his back, off they
went into the regions of air. The horse behave
himself most admirably, and looked around
and down upon the earth, apparently in the
most perfect astonishment. His hoofs never
for a moment ‘elawded the air;’ but he conten
tal himselfby gazing, in the most perfect horse
wonder, at the peculiar situation of things.—
Professor Elliott seemed as much at home upon
his charger as is if he were upon a macadamiz
ed road. As far as the eye could reach, both
horse and rider seemal to be getting along
quietly but safely.
“This the fii-st balloon ascension on horseback
we believe, ever attempted in America, and in
the science of teronauts St. Louis ranks as the
Paris of the continent.
“Last evening, we understand that the officers
of the steamer Keystone, which arrived between
eight und nine o'clock, saw the balloon and
horse coming down in the innnaliate vicini
ty of the mouth of the Missouri river, and
from all appearance made a safe landing.”

Health of the President.
We have seen some notice recently in the
Northern papers, that the President's health is
, much impaired and he is now in Virginia re-
■ cruiting. A private letter .written from the
: Hot Springs, Va., dated August 20th, says:
; “President Pierce passed by here this morning
!en route for the White Sulphur. He is looking
; very feeble and doubtless finds the Presidential
I couch anything but a bed of roses. Mrs. Pierce
I is with him and looks even more wearied und
sick than himself.”
■ The Union of Thursday says :
‘ A letter has been received by the Secretary
! of State from the President’s private secretary,
stating that the President had, at the Warm
Springs in Virginia, on Saturday last, an at
tack of chill and fever—similar to that he ex
perienced last autumn at the Executive Mansion
—the premonitory symptoms of which he had
felt for some days before leaving the city. The
attack was not severe, and the President was
expecting to proceed to the White Sulphur
Springs on the following Monday.
It is to be regretted that the President did
not feel that his official duties left him at liber
ty to follow the earnest advice of his family
physicians to leave the city some days since, on
the early inception of his illness. We hope,
however, that he will not think of leaving the
pure mountain air he is now enjoying for Wash
ington till the season of our fall fevers has pass
ed away.
. The “Foregin Party.”—We are taunted
with being the “Foreign party.” Aye, for
sooth, if never to have made the existence of
one Almighty being, ruling the destinies of the
earth, a question of doubt requiring a national
convention to embody it as a political axiom,
that is “foreign to us.”
If it were necessary to reaffirm in a patched
up platform, what is nnmistakeably enunciated
in everv Constitution of these States and con
secrated by the Federal compact itself, that
vested rights will be interfered with, that is
“foreign” to us.
If it is expected that we should ignore the
brilliant past of our history, and stigmatise pa
triots of the Revolution, who might be conce
ded to have known something of the genius of
the true interests of the country ; that, too, is
“foreign” to ns. And if you expect us in the
hour of properity to forget the holy blood that
bedewed our oppresssed land, in the time that
tried men’s souls and secured us the blessing of
civil and religious liberty; that, too, is “foreign
to us. And lastly, if you expect us to deprive
millions and millions of freemen of the unalien
able privilege of worshipping God as their
hearts dictate; to eliminate the dearest provi
sions of our chartered rights, and directly to de
grade, by unjust disabilities, men “born free
and equal” and again to forget the teachings
of our sires, then, we i say boldly: that
is most “foreign” tousabove everything.—San.

The Democracy of Texas Triumphant.—
The returns slowly come in. but we sec in
them unmistakeable evidence of a glorious dem
ocratic victory. In the course of another week
we shall, we trust, be able to lay a large por
tion to of the vote before our readers.
Without any State organization, and trust
ing simply to the force of Democratic truth,
we have had to deal with an adversary who has
had his midnight oaths and secret cabals, and
the aid of a well drilled and disciplined corps
of canvassers during the campaign, and then
in the election, resorted to tickets printed with
“ Demorracu” upon them to catch the unwary.
The result is cheering to the Democracy, and
speaks in trumpet tongues of the utter madness
of changeling politicians to build up a party
upon its ruins.— Texas Gazette.
There a singular case of alleged slow
poisoning now under investigation in London.
A gentleman, occupying respectable position, is
charged with having destroyed his wife by the
administration of continuous, but minute, doses
of arsenic; and her medical attendants testify to
their suspicions, and to their having watched the
process, as it were, but to having been compellal,
from fear of disturbing their patient’s mind, from
interference. Some of the proofs seems very
strong; but it must not be forgotten that there
is a theory touching arsenic, which, if tenable,
overthrows many chemical testa upon which reli
ance ia generally placed. So says the London
Illustrated News.

Prohibition in new Hampshire.—The New
Hampshire liquor law went into operation on
Monday last, and it is said to bear very heavily
upon the old topers who have spent pretty
nearly every cent they were worth in taverns,
and therefore could not provide for the conting
ency of prohibition. The moderate drinkers
have laid in a supply to last as long as the law
endures.
Brains.—Gov. Trumbull, of Connecticut, on
the occasion of a grand riot, ascended a block
and attempted by a speech to quiet the peo
ple. when a random missile hitting him on the
head felled him to the ground. He was badly
hurt, and as his friends were carrying him into
his house, his wife met him at the door, and ex
claimed. “Why. ray husband, they have knocked
your brains out I” “No they haven’t,” said the
Governor, “If I'd had any brains I shouldn't
have gone there.”
The Tamarind Tree.—A gentleman in
Winchester has suceeded in producing the tama
rind, in perfection, from seeds picked out of the

I take pleasure in superadding my corroboration iu U*st4-

mentality of your Invaluable compound. Having person
ally availed myself of the curative properties of your
Fluid Extract of Sarsaparilla, particularly in the puri
fication of the blood and the consequent anticipation nt
those universal disorders attendant upon the changes of
the season, I would cordially recommend it as a family
medicine which should be maintained In every house
hold. A remarkable instance of the influence of y »nr
remedy upon the restoration of the frame, and tho all but
miraculous resuscitation of a body weakened to the last
degree by the excesses of animal indulgence, occurred in
the case of an eminent manufacturer in this vicinity,
whose modesty, and not want of inclination, precludes
him from a publication of the detaißd circumstances ol
his afflicting disease, which threatened to determine into
a settled case of premonitory leprosy. lam assured by
him, that by tho use of your Fluid Extract, he has beet
completely restored to his former and correct enjoyment
of unimpaired health.

ASTONISHING AND RAPID CURE
OP
SOROFLELA.
We urgently request odr readers to read attentively
the following statement presented to Da. John Bull last
Bt. John's Day, by Willard A. Goldsmith, Esq., of thia
city, and solemnly sworn to before a Public Notary. It
exhibits the case of a gentleman who has been afflicted
by Scrofula from his earliest infancy. He had com
pletely exhaibsted the skill of the medical faculty of New
York, and was apparently a doomed man. A trial of Dr
John Bull's Fluid Extract of Sarsaparilla has giver
him health, and he now recommends to others that valu
able and potent remedy which has saved him from a pre
mature grave. The original affidavit, to which is affixed
the Notarial Seal of Henry C. Banka, Esq., before whom
the deposition waa taken, can be seen at Dr. Bull’s prin
cipal office, No. 2 Uourtlandt-street (Gllsey Building)

City and County or Nxw Y’ork, f
Willard A. Goldsmith, being duly sworn, pursuant
to law. deposes and says, that he resides in the City of
New York; that he is engaged in the business of steel
and copper-plate engraving;
That Scrofulous Affections have been heir-looms In
his family and hereditary; that all of bis immediate rela
tions have been more or less afflicted with it, and that he
has not been free from the disease at any time since his
earliest recollection; that being in much bodily pain, and
prevented from attendance to business, he tried many of
the physicians, but found no substantial relief;
That about three months since, Dr. John Bull's Sar
sapariUa was recommended to him as possessing some
qualities which would relievo his difficulties and purify
his blood;
That after using this medicine for a short time, a feel
Ing of improvement was manifest, and from that moment
to this, a gradual but steady advance has been realized
and he is now, not only entirely free from all pain, bnt is
enabled to give his business all attention, and is enjoying
better health than he ever believed was in store for him;
That he has also used the Sarsaparilla of Dr. Bull in
his family with similar results, and believes it tv be the
best purifier of the blood that can be used, and as a gen
eral tonic medicine without an equal;
That he can and does, with the most positive confidence,
recommend the use of this medicine to all who may be
similarly afflicted.

MOST IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES
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 is
attainable by medicinal agencies, they are cer
tain of success. Their efliacy would be almost
incredible, if not vouched for by indubitable tes
timony, in numerous instances producing returns
of the monthly period after all hope had been
abandoned.
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 effects.
Married ladies will find particular instructions
in the directions, in which are stated the various
symptoms by which the causes of the suppression
may be determined.
Price, One Dollar per Box, containing explicit
directions.
Each box will be signed by Dr. R. G. Geiss-
NER.
Principal Office, 127 J Liberty Street, New
York City.
Responsible agents will be appointed for their
sale as soon as practicable. In the meantime, all
orders are to be addressed to Dr. R. G. Geissner,
