—The present has been the most
distressing drouth that lias prevailed

cotton that promised a bale to two
acres will not now make fifty pounds.
Three mouths, aye two mouths ago,
the prospect for abundant crops was
never better, and our struggling
farmers had high hopes of getting
entirely free from debt this year,

gained confidence on finding there was
no danger of sinking, and he enjoyed

been an expert, swimmer. Should the
Itather allow the water to get into
hiseyes or mouth he would suffer con
siderable abatement in his enjoyment
on account of its extremely salt, bit

in t his sea; hut various kinds of ducks
abound here at certain seasons of the
year. The water was as clear us ordi

The Basis ok Wealth.—Tins basis
of the wealth of the country is agri
culture. The legislation of the coun
try should, if it favored ono class more
than another, favor the floriculturists
first.. The mechanics, who are pro
ducers from the raw mrterial, should
next have the Government’s fostering
care. The usurers should lie the last
to receive especial favors and protec
tion at the hundsot the Government.
Itis the non-producing element. And
yet it receives all the favors, and en
joys a monopole which, the Govern
ment crushes the other classes to
maintain for It. Nashville Banner.

CROPS INJ.Ulltp, IMMENSELY.
St. Louts, ’August 2. The rain con
tinued, throughput Saturday night
and!up (o nooiito-day. Tim imhvury
fell to (id degrees. The four principal
railroads running east from this city
were either flooded in places or dam
aged jto that Uaips can got mu, and
most of ( lie railroads In tlie State are
in a similar condition. Up to lust
night tlie river had risen three feet
since Saturday night, and was still
rising at, (he rate of two inches por
hour.
Accounts from tlio upper Missisaip
pi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers say
that all those rivers are rising rapid
ly, and the tributaries within 200
miles of here are all greatly swollen,
many of them pouring out in floods.
Dlspatcht-s from various parts of
tills State say that immense damage
has been dene to crops and farm pros
pects generally. In Spring river bot
tom alone the damages suffered by
the funnels is estimated at $1,500,000.
Tlie Osage, Lawrence, and Black
water rivers are higher than ever be
fore, and, in fact, all streams in the
State are at flood height, and are
causing great destruction of proper
ty. The railroads are also suffering
seriously from wash-outs, tlie loss of
bridges and overflows. The trains are
badly delayed or stoppied entirely.
Tlie turnpike roads are also being
washed away in places, bridges de
stroyed, and travel of all kinds im
peded. Probably there was never so
widely extended damage by rains in
the State. , , ~

Cincinnati, August 2. —The river
has risen three feet since last night,
and is swelling at the rate of two
inches per hour. All tlio upper
streams are rising, and the prospects
are that the river here will be as high
or higher than any previous time this
season within a day or two.

NEWS FROM IRELAND.
FENIANS TO THE FRONT.
New York, August 2. A Herald
cable from London says tlie O’Con
nell demonstration is assuming un
expected political nml diplomaticsig>
nifleances embarrassing to the liber
als, home rulers and the government.
Tlio Lord Mayor of Dublin, supposed
to bo at the instigation of the wiloy
Cardinal Cullen a poor churchman,
earing nothing for the memory of
O’Connell, has given tlie affair an
Ultramontane character, offensive
alike to Irish and English liberals,
the Protestant noblemen, the home
rulers and the Fenians. The invita
tions wepe mainly extended to Catho
lic laymen and bishops of England,
France and Oerbiahy, which lias
drawn an indignant protest from an
Irish peer, who claims that the Lord
Mayor is unauthorized to use Ids
office fora purely Catholic purpose.
The homo rulers and Fenians will
probably have independent celebra
tions in honor of their liberator. They
cannot co-operate in an Ultramon
tane movement without endangering
the Liberal alliance and alienating
the Protestants, who sympathise with
home rulo principles. Blr Henry
James, Sir Win. Uarcourt, and other
advanced Liberals, Sorrowfully op
pose the demonstration. Although
admirers of O’Connell’s career, they
do not want identification with an
anti-Bismarck demonstration, be
cause if the Lord Mayor expressed
sympathy with the bishops it will
give Bismarck a chance tq complain
that Englishmen are open sympa
thizers with a government hostile to
German unity.

London, August 2. The Times, in
its obituary article on Andrew John

slender and weak points of American
social aud political systems. During
his term of office ho showed himself
wanting in tact, refinement, und
knowledge of men; yet he hod some
qualities which are not so abundant
in the American peojilo as to be de
spised when found. Ho had, doubt
less, courage, some political insight,
and honesty never shadowed by sus

APPLETONS’
American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on overy
subject. Printed from new typo, and illus
trated with Several Thousand Engravings
aud Maps.
The work originally published under the title
of The New American Cyclop&dia was com
pleted in 1803, since which time the wido circula
tion which it bus attained in all parts of tho
United States, and the signal developments which
have taken place in every brauch of science, lit
erature and art, have Induced the editors and
publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough
revision, aud to issue anew edition entitled The
American Cyclopedia.
Within tho last ton years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge has
made a now work of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
witn the discoveries of science, and their lruitfu
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience und refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions havo oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the lust volume ui
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
und anew course of commercial und industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical kuowl
edge have been made by tho indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
men, whoso names are in evory one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every ono is curious to kuow tho
particulars. Great buttles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of which the de
tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or in tho transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent and authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it bus accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of
the moat recent discoveries in science, of overy
fresh production in literature, aud of tho newest
inventions in the practical urts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of tho original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new type, forming in tact anew C'yclopiedia, with
the same plan and compass us its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements in its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience aud
enlarged knowledge.
The Illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to tho explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural liiHtory, and depict tho most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art. as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
embelishment, no pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of tho Cycloptedia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, aud with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the
cow’s udder aud kept dry for years, then mois
tened, ami the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
iu it aud drawn gently on the arm, so as not to
draw tho blood, will so impregnate and change
the entire system as to prevent the party so vac
ciuated from taking the most loathaome of dis
casoa (small pox) fbr an entire life; again, if the
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphore the poison malaria, why will not tho
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and
destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thua
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We claim that there is such a remedy, and that
we have prepared it, and applied it, aud proved
it in our Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt—and
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
the worst malarial districts without the fear of
having any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills and Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fover, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, aud that it will cure all the above dis
eases, except tho worst cases of Billious and Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, as it corrects tho humors of the oody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, and thus enabling it to per.orm its various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria in
the least.
It has been tried iu thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can bo obtained lrom tho proprietors in
any quantity at the Powell Building, junction of
Broad aud Peachtree streets. Atlauta, Ga.
Price for a siugle Belt $3, or $6 with a guaran
tee that it will cure or the money refunded.
N. B.—None genuine without tho trade mark
is stamped upon them.

Messrs. Love k Willson: Gentlemen—ln April
last I was taken sick with regular Fever and
Ague, having it every alternate day. Alter it had
run on me for two weeks, I waa induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so 1 discarded all
medicine, and simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive timo thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe
tite and clear skin; and in future, if I should ever
have a Chill or Ague,l would want one of your Pads,
and no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
ho unfortunate as to have Chills and Fever may
be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts,
1 am, respectfully, etc.,

Dun. Love & Willson:
On the first day of December last I was taken
with (Chills aud Fever in Thomasville, Southwes
tern Ga.. and was treated for the same by three
eminent physicians who were able to stop it only
for a few days at a time. It made such inroads
on my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be in tlie first stages of consumption,
wh on I accidentally met up with Drs. Love k Will
sou's Anti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured
me. 1 have had but one chill since, and that was
the first day after putting it on. lam now in as
good health as I ever was in my lile, aud think
this Belt a God-send to the afflicted.

Rome nine years ago I contracted malaria iu
Ravaunah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at
times, ever siuco, until I met up with Drs. Love 4c
Willson's Anti-malarial Belt some three months
ago. 1 have worn it continually, and have had no
chill since, and find my general health, which
lias been poor, much improved. I would recom

and other remedies, and that they failed till they
