u . ' Mike Finck and the Bull. The story of Mike Finck and the Bull would make a cynic laugh. Mike took a notion to go in swimming, mid he had jnst got his clothes off when he saw Deacon Smith’s bnll making at him —the bull was a vicious animal, and had come near killing two or three persons—consequently Mike felt rather “jubus.” —He didn’t want to call for help, for he was naked, and the nearest place from where assistance conld arrive was the meeting house, which was at the time filled with worshipers, among whom was the “gal Mike was paying his devours to.” So he dodged the bull as the animal came to him, and managed to catch him by the talc. He was dragged round tell nearly dead, and when he thought he could hold uo longer, he made up his mind he had bet ter “holler.” And now wc will let him tell Ins So looking at the matter in all its bearings, I I come to the conclusion that I d better let some one know where I was. So 1 gin a yell louder than a locomotive whistle, and it warn t long be fore I seed the deacon’s two dogs a cornin’down like as if they was seeing which could get thar fust. I know’d who they wer arter—they’d jine the bull again me, I was sartain, for they were arful wenamous, and had a spite agin me. So says I, Old brindle, as ridin’ is as cheep as walkin’ on this route if you’ve no objections, I’ll jist take a deck passage on that ar’ back o’ yourn. So I wasn’t very long getting astride of him: then, if you’d bin thar, you’d have sworn thar worn’t nothin’ human in that ar’ mix, the site flew so orfully as the critter and' I rolled round the field one dog on one side and one on the other, tryin’ to c inc'i my feet, I prayed and cussed. and cussed and prayed, until I couldn’t tell which 1 did lest—and neither warn’t of no use, they were so orfully mixed up. Well, I reckon I rid about half an hour this way, when old brindle thought it were time to stop to take in a supply of wind, and cool off a little. So when we got round to a tree that stood thar, he naturally halted. So sez I, old boy lose one passenger sartin. So I jist clum up a branch, kaleclatin’ to roost thar till I starved afore I’d be rid round that ar way any longer. I war makeing tracks for the top of the tree, when I hearh suthin a makin an or ful buzzin’ overhead.—l kinder looked up, and if thar warn’t—well, thar's no use a swaring— but it wer the biggest hornet’s nest ever bilt. You’d “gin in” now 1 recken, Mike, ’cause there ia no help for you. But an idee struck me then that 1 stood a heap better chance a ridin’ the bull than whar I was. Sez I ole feller, if you'll hold on, I’il ride to the next station anyhow, let that be whar it will. So I jist dropped abord him again, and looked aloft to see what I had gained by changin’ quar ters, and gentlemen, I’m a liar if thar warn’t nigh half a bushel of the stingin’ varmints ready to pitch in to me when the word ‘go’ was gin. Well, I reckon they got it, for ‘all hands started for our company. Some on ’em hit the dogs— about a quart struck me, and the rest charged on brindle. This time the dogs led off fust, dead bent for the old deacon's, and as soon as old brindle and I could get under way we followed, as I was •nly a deck passenger, and had nothin’ to do with steerin’ the craft, I sware, it I had, we should'nt have run that channel, anyhow. But, as I said before, the dogs took the lead—brindle and I next, and the hornets dre'kly arter.—The dogsjyellin’—brindle bellcrin’, and the hornets btizzm’ and stingin.’ Well, we had got about two hundred yards , from the house, and the deacon heard us and come out. 1 seed him hold up his hands and turn white I reckin he was prayin’ then, for he did’nt expect to be called for so soon, and it worn’t long neither, afore the whole congrega tion-men, women and children— cum out, and then all hands went to yellin.’ None of ’em had the fust notion that brindle and I belonged to this world. I jist square turned my head and passed the hull congregation. 1 couldn’t help seeing the run would be up soon, for brindle could’t turn an inch from a fence that stood dead ahead. Well, we reached that fenoe, and I went ashore, over theold critters head, landin’ on t’other side, and lay thar stunned. It warn’t long afore some of ’em as was not scared, cum runnin’ to see what I war ; for all hands kvlkelated that the bull and 1 belonged together. But when brindle walked offby him self, they seed how it war, and one ofj’em said, “Mike Finck has got the wust of a scrummage once in his life!” Gentlemen from that day I dropped the courtin business, and never spoke to a gal since, and when my hunt is up on this yearth, there wont be any more Fincks, and its all owin’ to Deacon Smith's Brindle Bull. The Elephaant Romeo. The mournful occurrence alluded to tn yes terday’s paper, induced us to make some inqui ry into the special circumstances of the case, when we learned as follows: This elephant was landed in New York in 1846, was 30 or 40 years old, and belonged to Bailey & Co.’s Menagerie and Circus Company. For nearly nine years Mr. George West had been keeper, and had him under good con trol. After leaving Camden, on Sunday morning, on his way to Columbia, he showed an unruly temper, as(it nad occasionally done, and it became necessary to use some severity with him to con trol him. Upon reaching a bridge, a few miles on the road, he broke a plank and refused to cross, and upon being pressed, struck a horse a blow which knocked him off the bridge, ripped him open, and killed him. He was let! around and made to ford the creek. After crossing he started up the hill, and was called to by his keeper and stopped, but a few minutes after he attempted to take a wrong rand, at a fork. The keeper seized him by one oi'his tusk and probably struck him, when he became enraged, and struck with his tusks a blow which broke Mr. West’s buck and instantly killed him. lie then threw him up and caught him on his tusks, and kept at it until he was completely mangled—the arms legs, thighs and bones generally being broken, the intestines torn out anti sculped jtealed off. The dogs which usually aided in controlling him were set upon him, but his motions were so rapid thatail was done before any interference could be made. He then started off, aud several ineffectual attempts were made to secure him. Mr. Bailey the owner being satisfied that it wonld be un safe to tni,st him again, aud that under the most favorable circumstances there would be appre hension and danger from him, with proper re gard for his duty to the public determined to have him put to deutte Rifles were procured, and many of the citisens of Camden gave their aid on the occasion; On Sunday afternoon and evening, about one hundred and fifty balls were fired into him without effect. His eyes were shot out as a matter of safety, as he showed a disposition for a violence. Ou Monday morn ing he got into a pond, were after an ’immense number of shots, nearly two hmidrod more, he finally yielded and died. The estimated value of the animal was 810,- 000 and the loss a heavy one to the owner.— His conduct is deserving of high praise, as he did not hesitate to make the sacrifice of his private interest to tlie public safety. We trust a generous public will amply' renumerate him for the proper spirit shown on the oeca siou. We passed a short time yesterday in examin ing the collection of animals and witnessing the exercises, and are pleased to say, that they seem quite deserving of the patronage of tlie citizens. —Carolinian. An Octagon Settlement.—A company has been formed in New York to settle a township in Kansas on the octagon plan. Each farm house to front on an octagon green of park, and lite farm enclosure to run in the rear of each house, between to roads, and radiating from the centre at the angles of the central octagon— the whole ultimately forming an octagou’town. Already four thousand sliares at five dollars each have been taken in a company on this plan. The capital of the company is employed tn tlie purchase of machinery, implements and other faeilitiw for farming and building so as to secure to all the settlers by cooperation tl • advantages of large capital iu commencing their operations. Men of no capital pay for their shares by their labor. The pioneer party to select a site is about to start from New York. Terrible Railroad Accident. Philadelphia, August 27—P. M. The report of the terrible accident on the New Jersey Railroad is fearfully verified. The accident occurred two miles above Berlington The up train waited at Burling for the down tram, which was behind time, 10 minutes and then went on slowly. A vehicle at the crossing waited until the train passed up, and then started to cross the track. Just at this moment the engineer of the up train hearing the down train approaching, suddenly reversed his engine, and coining back encountered the vehicle, crushing it to pieces, the occupants fortunately escaping by throwing I themselves from it. The collision with the ve-1 hide threw the whole train from the track, with i terrible results. One car ran completely through the next car. killing or maiming near ly all the passengers in it ' The following are the names of the killed so far as the have been ascertained : The Killed.—Catharine Bigelow, John Dallam, D. F. Haywood, Thomas S. Meredith. Edward M. Green, G. W. Ridgway, C. M. Barclay, an unknown female, Edward C. Bacon Wilson Kent, Alexander Kelly. (The above are mostly Philadelphians.) M. J. Stoughton, Martin Connel, of Wilmington, Delaware ; Ja cob Howard, of Lebanon, Tennessee ; Harry Rush, of Georgetown College; Capt. Boyce, Uniteel States Navy, and his daughter; James Lincoln, of Ellicott’s Milin; Charles Bottom, of Trenton. The wounded are said to number seventy, Among them are the wife and two daughters of Captain Boyce. [another dispatch.] The wife of Capt. Boyce of the United .States Coast Survey wes killed, not his daughter.— Thomas J. Meredith and John Dalam are mer chants of Baltimore. Edward M. Green is not killed. Charles Bnttom, of Bottom A Co., Trenton, had Mr. Green s Bank Book, in his pocket, which occasioned the mistake. More of the Killed.—Mrs. Margaret Pres cott, of Salem, New Jersey, the wife of Rev. Wm. Prescott ; Baron de St. Andre, the French Consul for Philadelphia, and colored woman named Catharine Brown, are also kill ed. Mrs. Barclay, who is among those killed, was the wife of Clement C. Barclay, of Philadel phia. She w’as on her way to Europe. Mr. Ingersoll, son of Lieut. Harry Inger soll, of Philadelphia, who was greatly injured, died at Bristal where he was conveyed. The Wounded.—The follow are among the wounded:—Samuel Lamb, of Ohio; Hon. Wil liam Whelan, of the Naval Bureau, Washing ton ; Commander Joseph M. Smith and Spen cer McCorkle, of the Coast Survey : Mrs. Har lan, of Jersey City; Denis O’Pane, of the District of Columbia; H. S. Hughes, Shankland Express Agent, and Chas. W. Oldenburgh. of Phila delphia; William C. McClay Member of Con gress from New York, seriously wounded ; Mr. Fisk, of Connecticut ; John F. Gillespie and wife, of Natches, both seriously; Mrs. King of Charlestown, Virginia; Mr. Sowerback, of Pittsburg; John Kelly, of Pittsburg, badly; Mr Kent of Mississippi. Later.—The vehicle which caused the acci dent was driven by Dr. Hunuegan and contain ed his wife and'two children—all escaped with' trifling injury but both of his horses were kill ed. The driver was hard of hearing and did not perceive the train returning. Having seen the train pass he supposed that all was safe. Drs. Gaunt, Trimble, Chaloner, and Butler of Burlington, the Brothers Bryant, of Beverly, Lonstreet and Cook, of Bordentown, of Reed and Stratden, Pugh and Wetherill, of Philadelphia, were in attendance upon the wounded, administering all the aid in their power. The ladies of Burlington were also most devoted in extending assistance to the wounded. The down train from New York, when it stopped was within 100 feet of the train wreck ed by the collision with the vehicle. New York, Aug. 31. The Tribune reports that Mr. Gillespie, of Natchez, had both legs broken, and one has been amputated. His condition is critical, as also is that of wife, who had one leg broken and the other dislocated. Mr. D. Heyward, of Charleston, who at first was reported to have been killed, is doing well. Mrs. King, of Charleston, was internally in jured, but is not regarded as being in a critical condition. 23 were killed and 78 wounded. The Cholera at Fort Riley. From a letter received in this city, yesterday by a son of Air. J. O. Sawyer, we are permitted to make such extracts as have general interest Mr. Sawyer went to Fort Riley, it will be re collected, to superintend the erection of Govern ment buildings at that Fort and alter tlie death of Major Ogden, had a hard duty to perform.— Mr. Sawyer says : "The disease made its ap pearance about ten days after our arrival, but caused no alarm, as there were only one or two deaths a day. As increased, the men became alarmed, some of them quit work, and there was considerable panic. When Major Ogden was taken, I kept it a secret from the men as much as possible, but the morning following, when they found out that the Major was dying and that there was in the house occupied seven persons dead and dying, the lost all restraint aud acted like demons. They broke into the sutler’s store, and carried out whisky and liquor by the bucket full. They broke into the hospi tal and commissary’s store, and threatened to take the money-chest if they were not paid.— There was but a limited number of soldiers here [ and they had been moved in wagons the night | before iu the midst of all this panic. 1 was then left alone with five hundivd men, panic-1 stricken and maddened with whisky. At this time one of these men stabbed another and cut his bowels open. There was nothing left for me to do but to save the Post and the property of the United States. 1 took command, and did all in my power, by promises and threats, to quiet them until 1 could make arrangements to get arms and ammunition, This I did as quickly us pos sible, and then I let the men know that l wonld shoot the first man that misbehaved. That night I piaeed a giguxl armed with musketsand six-shooters, and as they made up their minds I was in earnest. 1 had no further trouble with them. I kept a guard always mounted.- When you remember that during this day eigh teen died, and others were taken down sick, and that the Post was deserted, you can form some estimate of'Uie awful scene. The panic has been so groat that it is irnpoe-1 sible to find on how many have died—but it is over 50 that is, one out of every ten persons here. If 1 were to write all night, it would lie impossible to tell all I have had to do. The sick conld not be attended to. nor the dead buried. There is one fact which I wish to put on reconl. the Americans all did their duty when asked, and they dad no part in the depre dations which were committed. The carpenters were my main dependence—they stood guard, and did all I asked of them. This letter is dated the 14th inst. St. Louis Hep., ‘ioth. In the course of iui opinion delivered by Mrs. Justice Coleridge, on the English Bench, the action having been instituted bv a widow to recover damages for the loss of her husband, killed by being ran over by an omni bus. the Judge remarked, that when passing along a street, the side pavements were for foot passengers, and the centre of the street was for carriages, and those persons who wished to cross were bound to watch their opportunity— to use due care and caution: but at the end' or corner of a street, if a foot passengers wished to cross, it should be known that the centre of the street belonged as much to tlie foot passenger as to the carriage, and he had as much right to tell the driver of a carriage to wait for him. as the driver had to make him wait. B arbadoes, —The crop of the present year is estimated at 40.000 hogsheads. Provisions have been very scantily planted, which will necessaril v render the inhabitants dependent upon American breadstufls. with which tneir market is sparingly supplied aud prices have conaderably advanced. A String of Mishaps. A man named Wragg was brought into one of the city Courts in New York for disturb ing the peace. No witness appeared against him, aud he was requested to tell us his own story : Judge—Mr. Wragg will you state the facts ■ connected with your arrest| Mr. Wragg—Certainly sir. Last night | about 10 o’clock I was going along the street i quietly and ostentiously, with my mind occupied . in profound meditation, suddenly my thoughts ! and vision were simultaneously arrested, not by a member of the police, but by an old hat | which was lying on the sidewalk. Now I have a deep aversion to an old hat. In tact 1 might say that the whole world has rooted antiphathy tool! hats. It may be because old hats are emblematical of a man going down the hill of adversity. Men under such circum stances and old hats receive the same kind of treatment, namely, kicks. Now nine out of ten seeing that old hat lying on the sidewalk as I did, would have given it a kick, and that sir, is just what I did. 1 kicked that old hat, and not only that, but kicked a /rightfully large stone that was inside of it ; 1 felt myself failing forward, and unfortunately I fell against a fat woman with sufficient force to cause her to fall; in falling she kneaked down a ladder ; one end of the ladder struck me, the other hit a cart horse ; the horse gave a jump, and the carman was thrown off' from his cart ; he fell on a bull terrier dog ; the dog give a yell aud bit the carman, who rollen over on me; a nigger rush ed out of an alley aud kicked the carman for falling on his dog ; the carman picked up a stone and threw it at the nigger, but unfor tunately it went through the window of a Dutch man’s grocery and fell into a butter tub ; the Dutchman dame out, by this time I had got up and was about to castigate a boy whom 1 saw laughing, from which circumstance I was led to believe that he had pht the stone in the old hat; I ran after the boy. When he saw my bel licose purpose he yelled out for his father. The Dutchman ran after me, and just as 1 caught the boy the Dutchman caught me. Sir; my physical power was not sufficient to cope with both. lam not a Sampson. I was vanquish ed ; not oniy that, sir, but when released from their grasp I was taken by three or four other Dutchmen. Error Corrected—The New Con gress. The following article from the Chicago Times, a Democratic paper conducted with remarka ble ability, makes an agreeable correction of an error. It is proper to add, however, that the table referred to did not originate with our res pected cotemporary of the Free Press, but with an opposition journal, and was generally be lieved to be an accurate estimate of the strength of parties in the next Congress: “A Little too fast. — The Detroit Free Press, in classifying the next House of Representatives, with reference to the election of President by that body in case of a failure to elect by the people; puts down sixteen States for the candi date who may favor the Kansas-Nebraska act, fourteen States for the abolitionists, aud one (Iowa) divided. Among tlie fourteen States set down for the abolition candidate is Illinois, which is a most outrageous error. We have Wood worth, Washburue, Knox and Norton elected from this State by the fusiouists; and Richardson, Harris, Allen, and Marshall by the democracy; aud in the other district (now va cant) a democrat will be elected by at least four thousand majority. Illinois, therefore, will cer tainly be Democratic. Wo do not stop here. Mr. Woodworth, the member from this district, was always a democrat until the fusion of last fall, when by joining that party he was elected to Congress. We think his fusion and his abo lition ardor all expired with his election, and we will be very much surprised, if on all questions he does not act with tiie democratic party, par ticularly as the men who elected him have al ready designated his successor.” “But the next election of President will not go to Congress. The Democratic candidate will get the vote of every northern State except Kentucky. The Hiss committees aud the mur derers of women and children will of course vote for the abolition candidate.” Pigeon Shooting—Mr. King's Challenge Accepted. New York, Aug. 25.—The challenge issued in this day’s Spirit of the Times, has been ac cepted by Blanton Duncan, Esq., a gentleman from Louisville Ky. The arrangements will be published in a future number. The match is for 810,000, a side (20,000 the match ;) §SOOO a side, (or §IO,OOO the match ;) to be shot at the Red House grounds, N. Y., on or about the 10th of September, aud SIO,OOO to be shot at Louisville, Kentucky, at 7o double shots each, (150 birds) 21 yards rise and 100 fall, §1250 a side is to be deposited iu the hands of the publisher of the Spirit, as forfeit, this week, and a day fixe I for the first great match. Much excitement prevails at this monster match.— Both gentlemen are of the same cast of muscu lar power. Mr. Duncan being some six or seven years younger than his opponent—in the neigh borhood of twenty-six—whilst Mr. King has tho advantage in height aud reach ; both have a quick, hazel eye, and the movement of each, that is impulsive movements, are similar—both are fit to shoot for a man’s life. Mr. Duncan has a host of admirers and backers from the far West; he has made excel lent shooting in Natchez previously, and his friends are sanguine and eager to test tlieir man against any one man living. As to Mr. King, he has backers to §40.000 or §50,000. The great shooting lately chronicled and performed by him needs no further comment. He is from Augusta. Georgia—therefore the match will be "Georgia vs. Old Kentucky.” Both States will be ably represented, as far as a good shot is concerned. Further particulars will becoming in the end of this week. The betting here is in favor of King, but little done. The Kentucky gentle men will be here in a week, and they will back their man right and left. The match will be of the most gentlemanly order, characteristic to each party where the love of fair play prevails! The Boomerang.—This curious weapon, pe culiar to the natives of Australia, has often proved a puzzler to men of science. It is a piece of curved wood nearly iu the form of a crecsent, from thirty to forty inches long, point ed at both ends and the corner quite sharp.— The mode of using it is quite as singular as the weapon. Ask a black to throw it so as to fall at his feet, and away it goes full forty yards be fore him, skimming along the surface at three or four feet from the ground, when it will sudden ly rise in the air forty or sixty feet, describing a I curve, and finally drop at the feet of the throw-' er. During its course it revolves with great ■ rapidity, as on a pivot, with a whizzing noise.— ; It is wonderful that so barbarous a people should have invented so singular a weapon.' which sets laws of progression at defiance, it is very dangerous for an European to try to ; project it at any object, as it may return" and . strike himself. In a native’s hand it is a for- 1 midab'e weapon, striking without the projector i being seen; like the Irishman's gun shooting ‘ around a corner equally as straightforward. I t was invented to strike the Kangaroo, which an imal is killed by it with a certainty, and though a copse interveen between the hunter and the animal, the Boomerang comes round the corner and breaks his legs. N ext to St. Peter's at Rome, the mos que of St. Sophia is the most sublime monument of architecture, and many testify that in unity of effect and impression on the mind. St. Sophia is far superior. Indeed, it was designed to sur pass ail that had been before or might come af ter it. Justinian lavished upon it in gold, mar bles, ano precious stones, the wealth of the Ro man empire ; aud as he came in state on Christ mas Eve to celebrate its completion, he raised his hands to heaven, and exclaimed—" God be praised, who hath esteemed me worthy to finish so sublime a work’ Ob, tiolomon ! 1 have surpassed thee!” A celebrated poet at one time advertised tbas he would supply “lines for any occasion.” A fisherman sought him shortly after, and want ed a line to catch a porpoise,' Seuatoral Decency. Mr. Wade, United States Senator from Ohio was one of the speakers at the late “Re-1 publican” meeting at Portland. The following i is one of the least offensive portions of his 1 1 speech, which the newspapers say was “warmly ! applauded throughout The orator turned to threats of disunion on the part of the South, showing their absurdity in the impoverished aud helpless state of the ■ country. Any bussiness man would kick such a grumbling partner out of his office, and kick him again alter he was out. The Union was doubtless a grand thing, but it seemed a question worth considering whether jt ought to be preserved at the cost of the en slavement of four millions of our fellow men. He was no enemy to the Union, provided slave ry could be driven to rot in its own dark do minions. There was no freedom at the South, for even white or black, and he would strive to protect the free soil of the North from the same blighting curse. There was really no Union now between the North and the South, aud he believed no two nations upon the earth entertain ed feelings of more bitter rancor towards each other than these two sections of the liepublic.— The only salvation of the Union, therefore, was to be found in divesting it entirely from all taint of slavery. To suppose that the Union can stand as an instrumentality for the propa gation of slavery was to believe that God Almighty is unjust, and sides with the oppress or. But there is a Providence who rules over the destines of nations, for every wrong there must be a retribution. Therefore, he was to be con sidered the only true conservative of this Union who seeks to purge it of slavery. The cring ing of doughfaces had brought about these la mentable results, and the sons of the recreants are reaping the punishment of their cowardice. The South had been educated into the belief that the North are cowardly poltroons, andtheyhave acted upon this belief in making their demands, until the North has borne more than Quak ers would bear. At last he rejoiced that com prises are at an end, and the North has been driven into a close corner, where they must fight or be enslaved. * * * He spoke to an Ohio audience some time since/and advocated the delay of the appropriation bill, to starve the Administration into yielding the restriction of the Missouri compromise, when a person asked what he would do if the Southern mem bers should put on their hats and leave the hall. He replied that he would set the dogs on them and all the people cried, Amen. [Applause.] He had come to the conclusion that the same spirit actuated the Republican party of Maine. The Boston Courier copies this, with the re mark that the language of the speech, aud its whole tenor and substance, are the more re markable when it is considered that they pro ceed from a Senator of tlie United States.— The Courier adds: Wc do not know upon what terms Mr. Wade meets his brother Senators of the South ; but certain it is, that if he actually “believes” in i that sentiment of his speech which we have i placed in italics; he cannot shake hands with a I Southern Senator without performing an act of shameless hypocrisy. Tlie Magicians of Egypt. Eygpt swarms with magicans now, as in the' days' of Moses; nor do the practitioners of the pre sent day bring any discredit upon their renowned ancestors, thus furnishing strong circumstantial evidence of the truth of the inspired narrative. So wonderful arc the prodigies they perform, that they have been deemed worthy of grave re cital in works on Egyptian life and manners, and been vouched for by authors of things which they neither explain nor account for. And some of them not only witnessed marvellous things, but actually learned how to perform them, and yet were unable to give any explanation,only that they did as they were told and the result follow od. There is a branch in their hidden art, employed to bring hidden things to light which has been practised with startling effect. In the process various mummeries are gone through, such as writing certain words on paper, separating and arranging them, burning coriander and frankin cense, and making diagrams, in the midst of all which is deposited a few drops of black ink, which is called the magic mirror, and into which a boy, selected a random looks intently, and secs anything concerning which you desire informa tion. posting you up in relation to it to your heart's content. Two of the British Consuls, residing at Cairo successively, have published tlie results of their Own observation in relation to the matter, grav- I ely testifying that, having used every precaution I aginst imposition, making their own selection I of the boy who was to reveal the mysteries of i the magic mirror, they propounded questions to him concerning matters in England, which it was impossible for him to know anything about, and received answer corresponding with facts in every instance. Both were incredulous before instituting their inquiries; both repeated their interrogatories a number of times, and put them in various forms, in relation to various subjects, but always with the same result; the correct answer being inva riably given, and both continued incredulous still, and yet thus testified to the facts. This beats our own clairvoyants a long way. for the letter only hit the mark occasionally— about as often as one would naturally guess right. I did not myself put the pretensions of these professors of the black art to the test, being satisfied, as I said, with the demonstrations forced upon me in the street. Jugglery, in all its various forms, developed itself as the natural born offspring *r>f such a parentage. Among innumerable feats of the juggler here, he allows himself to be searched from head to foot, and then submits to be bound up in a sack, which has been searched, and from which he very complacently makes his exit, holding in one hand a lighted candle, and the other a plate of sweetmeats, of which the specta tors partake, aud in return for which they are expected to throw him some coppers. The,-Kink.’ —Riding through one of our country villages a short time before our annual election, we chanced to meet a boy with books, slates, Ac., under his arm, whom we recognised to be a protestant clerygyman’s son of the vill age—when the following dialogue ensued: ‘'Well, my son, have you been to school to day?’ •I don’t know, sir.’ ‘You don’t know! but what makes you answer thus?’ Oh. mother says 1 must follow the example of my pious father, and that is the way he answers when he says he don’t lie. because he says, there is a kink in it.’ ■But when I asked if you had been to school you said you do not know. Now is that the truth?’ ‘Oh, there is a kink in it; they don’t call it I a school, they call it the Academy’ Truly, thought I, that is a young American 1 and no mistake. Commencement of the Louisville Riot.—; We extract the following from the Louisville | Courier: Captain Thomas, a highly respectable and j intelligent citizen of Madison, desire us to state that before any difficultv had commenced, he; was passing down Market street, aud saw a j ahead of him three decent, genteel appearing I I rishmen, who tn-r.ed off at T onto sreet. Reach-. ing Main he obseived a man ran out and knock ; one of the Irishman down, while the others were | ! chased across the street into a house, and then j I the firing commenced from the windows.—This, Captain Thomas says, was the commencement I of the whole trouble, growing ou* of an unprovo i ked assuit upon an Irishman who was quietly 1 passing along tlie street.

Walker is lying off at Realjo. He anil Munos don’t agree. His prospects arc represented as very shabby. Last Year’s Cotton in Texas. —The Hous ton Telegraph of the 20th ult., says a large por tion of the crop of last year in the upper country is yet to come in. About one hundred thousand bags, valued at §4,000,000. is yet in Middle and Eastern Texas, where it has been ready for mar ket from_eight to twelve months.

NEW PROSPECTUS OF THE ATLANTA WEEKLY EXAMINER A New Southern Enterprise! SUBSCRIPTION ONLY One Dollar per annum. The Weekly Examiner will after the first day of August next, be issued to subscribers, at the low price of ONE DOLLAR per annum, paya able invariably in advance. Many reasons have induced the proprietor of this paper to embark in an enterprise never be fore attempted in the South, and which has proved, not only successful in the Anti-Slavery States North and West, but has received a pat ronage in the Slave States, that had better be con fined. though at greater expense, to the South ern Press. To obviate, then, the objection,. as far as we can, to the price of the Weekly Examiner, we from and after the period designated will forward it to subscribers at one dollar, per annum, and this will place it within the roach of the poor, as well as tlia rich. To politics, news, and literature, the Examiner will be devoted. OurpositioM in regard to the first is already well understood. It is unnecessa ry, therefore, to say more than that it sustains and will sustain, the DEMOCRATIC ANTI KNOW NOTHING PARTY of Georgia and the Union, to which the South can look, with confidence, to the maintenance of her rights, and a strict adherence to the Constitution. The NEWS DEPARTMENT of this paper shall be unsurpassed by any weekly paper in the South Atlanta occupies a position, and embra ces facilities, for the receipt and transmission of NEWS, unequalled in the South. Every ad vantage will be taken of these, to make the EX- A MINER a valuable news paper to our farmers, who, in the main, subscribe for weekly papers only. The Literary and Miscellaneous Department will also receive a large share of attention. During the session of our Legislature, one of the Editors will be present to report the proceed ings of that Body, lot the Daily Examiner—these reports will be transferred to the weekly and each subscriber to it, will thus have a complete history of the session. A correspondent to furnish the proceedings of Congress, and a New York correspondent, have also been engaged. In short, every thing that can reasonably be expected of a weekly paper, will be laid before the subscribers to the Exam iner. A large and fine assortment of new type has been ordered, and is now on its way from New York. We hope to receive it in time lor our next week's issue, when not only will the ap pearance of our Daily and Weekly be greatly improved, but a large quantity of reading matter will bo added to both. In adventuringupon this novi enterprise—one so important to Georgia,and the South—the Pro prietor anticipates a generous support It is the first established paper in the State, or the South, with a large circulation, that has reduced its terms, that it may be within the reach of any man. As such, it is hoped and believed that the enter prise will prosper. Wc appeal then to the people to subscribe ; particularly do we call upon the DEMOCRACY and ANTI-KNOW NOTHINGS, to standby us. Send in your orders, by tens and by hun dreds, and wc will send you a large, well printed piper equal in its every department, to any week- Southern paper.

BY JOHNSON STEWART ROSE, M. D., of the Royal College of Physi cians, and for years Senior Physicians in I the London Koya! Infirmary for Diseases of the ’ Lungs. In this age of progress, medical science has contributed her full share to the gcpcral welfare, and that which shines resplendent, the brightest jewel in her diadem, is her last and greatest gift, Medicated Vapor inhalation, In the treatment of Consumption ami kindred . affections. The most absurd notions, narrow minded prejudice contemptible ignorance, and unblushing quackery, have long existed in the treatment of Consumption. Men of skill and re putation as physicians have prescribed nauseous I compounds to be taken into the stomach, to cure ' disease of the lungs, while the brazen faced quack j held up his nostrum as the only star of hope for the consumptive—if only enough of it were swal- I lowed. The stomach, where disease exists, I being the receptacle of all this, is soon rendered i unfit to perform its functions, and the health thus I materially injured. All must see tlie abaudity, | the positive injury of such a course; the disease j is in the lungs, not in the stomach; then why, in | the name of common sense, do you not apply • medicine directly to the lungs? The advantage of Inhalation in Consumption an’d Throat Dis eases is, tiiat medicines in the form of vapor are applied directly to the lungs where the disease I exists; the stomach is thus left free to aid in re ! storing health, by administering it to healthy, J | life riving food. There is no case so hopeless | that Inhalation will not reach! The means, too, ; arc brought within thercnch of all, the manner of administering the Vapors being so simple, that the invalid is never required to leave home, where the hand of friendship and affection tends so much to aid the physician’s efforts. The Inhalating method is soothing, safe and speedy, and co sists in the administration of medicines in such a manner that tney arc con veyed into the lungs in the form of vapor, and produce their action at the scat of the disease.— Its practical success is destined to revolutionize the opinions of the medic 1 world, and establish the entire enrability of Consumption. I earnestly appeal to the common sense of all afflicted with lung diseases, to embrace at once the advantages of Inhalation, and no longer ap ply medicine to the unoffending stomach. I claim fur inhalation a place amongst the priceless gifts that nature and art bath given us, that “our days may be long iu the land,” and and as the only Ark of Refuge f r the Consumptive. A method not only rational, but simple, safe and officious. To many of my professional brethren through out the Union I tender my acknow ledgements for thdir frank and manly course in testifying to the merits of Inhalaticn. I shall be pleased to co-operate with them in offering to the afflicted the blessings of medicated vapor inhaliation in the treatment ot Consumption. One word for myself, in answer to those claiming to have introduced the practice, and to the tribe of imitators who, with brazen impudence claim it as their own. I both wrote in favor of Inhalation and practiced it 16 years ago. The apparatus then used, with the medical agents employed,achieved only a partial success; I there fore did not claim for it then those miraculous powers which a long practice has since enabled me to give to it. Proof of this may be found in my work published in 1840. I Applicants will please state if they have ever . bled from the lungs, if they have lost flesh, have a cough, night sweats and fever turns, what and how much they expectorate, what the condition of their stomach and bowels. The ne cessary medicines, apparatus, &c., will be for warded to any part. Terms:—Five dollars c >nsultation fee. Balance of fee payable when patients re .ort themselves convalecc-nt. Recommedaticn y Physici us VV o the tinderuigned practitioners iu medicine cheerfully and heartily recommend Dr. Rose’s method of treating disease of the Lungs and Throat, as the best and most effectual eucr in troduced in the medical practice. Our convic ■ tions are based upon having several of our own patients, confirmed consumptives, restored to vigorous health, after a few months treatment by Dr. Rose. In the above named diseases the application of medicated vapors, inhaled directly intothc Lungs, may bejustly considered a great boon to suffering humanity, rendering Con sumption a perfectly curable disease. i Dr. Rose deserves well of the profession for his unwearied labors in bringing the Inhalating . method to such a degree of perfection.
