—The Aufiust.n Constitutionalist dis
cusses the virtues of the lash, ft is
inclined to favor the administering
of a dose of eat-o’-nine-talls as an
expiation of flagrant offences. It
believes that, if a majority of men
know that they would get a sound
chastisement, publicly inflicted, for
rascally breaches of the law. they
would hesitate before committing
crime.
—Home has had plenty of rain.
—There is now a daily mail from
Dalilonega to Porter’s Spring.
Mining operations are being
pushed vigorously iu North Georgia.
—A little boy, about ton years old,

the purpose of improving the same.
—An attempt was made to wreck
the passenger train at No. 12, on the
Central Railroad, by placing an iron

—Augusta wants a kissing bee.
-The first petition in bankruptcy
from Glynn county was filed a few
days ago.
It was only with extreme reluc
tance, and at the solicitation of lead
ing men in Georgia, that Col. Logan
E. Bleckley coulu be brought to re
consider his declination of a position
on the bench of the Supremo Court.
—The rate of State taxation this

Mr. Moyers is Operating on the

From John II I.cr's Fimfexsloii.
"Most of those engaged in this un
fortunate affair were led by religious
Influences, commonly called fanati
cism, and nothing but. their devotion
to God, ari l their duty to Him, as
taught by their religion amt llieir
Church leaders, would have induced
them to have committed the outrage
ousand unnatural acts, believing that
all who participated in the lamenta
ble transaction, or most of them,
were acting under orders that they am- .
s'ulered it their duty their religious :
duty -to obey. * * * I went to 1
Salt Lake and reported to Brigham
Young the exact facts connected with I
the transaction. * * * fn justice !
to Brigham Young, I must say that j
when ne heard my story he wept like ,
a child, walked the floor and wrung
his hands in bitter anguish.”--Naff j
Lake Tribune.
The Donaldsonvllle (La.) Chief
says that old Tom Tournilion, a col
ored man, who is claimed to have at- i
tained the remarkable age of 12“
years, departed this life recently,and
was placed beneath the sod he had so ,
long dwelt upon. When Louisiana 1
was ceded to the United States, Tom j
was well advanced in years, and had
a son who had reached manhood J
long before.
Recent Statistics show that the
South during the last year consumed
(ft,996,5i!) pounds of cotton in her
own factories, Georgia nearly one- !
third, of this amount. Pretty soon ;
Southern Congressmen will be join
ing those of New England on the
question of protection, and It may
not be long before New England will
beoomo jealous of the South as a ri val
in manufacturing. The revolution
wrought by the Rebellion in South
ern affairs is destined soon to prove
very thorough.—Philadelphia Times.
*e r
It is a melancholy sight of the uni
versality with which Americans seem
to be forsaking farm work, that,
even in a period whenthedulluess of
manufactures and trade leaves thou
sands unemployed, the farmers tlud
it hard to get, suffideut help. The
complaint is general in all parts of i
the country that sufficient help can-;
not be obtained to handle the crops I
with.
It was a Connecticut editor who

THE DAILY TIMES.
aiuiniiib Fnnstltntiiiii.
Unstable as things appear to be id
Spain, the Commission thereto ap
pointed have at last adopted the draft,
of anew constitution. In it the Gov*
eminent is declared monarchical.
A Senate and Chamber of Deputies is
provided for. The Senators, number
ing three hundred, are of three
classes: l. All grandees having an an
nually income of $10,(KK); 2. Elective
Senators, to be chosen by corpora
tions; 3. Nominated Senators, to be
appointed by the crown. In the
Chamber of Deputies, there is to be
one representative for every 50,000 in
habitants. The control of the Crown
is what may be esteemed absolute in
the Semite. Tile King, at any time,
has the power to dissolve the Cortes;
but anew body must be summoned
wit hin three months after the dissolu
tion. There is a provision which in
vests either the (lories or t he Govern
ment with the power of suspending
constitutional guarantees, hut witli
oldingfrom both, the power of punish
ing by banishing from the Kingdom.
No subject can beheld under arrest for
more than seventy-two hours, unless
brought before a proper tribunal
but lliis will be of little avail against
arbitrary movements, with the provis
ion in force just mentioned.
The government of the colonies
causes difficulty. They are to be reg
ulated by special laws. They are also
to have representation in the Cortes,
but the elections are to be on the
special system.
Au effort to restrict religious tolera
tion failed, which we regard as a good
omen. Such is the unsettled condi
tion of Spanlahaffairs, that we cannot
promise permanence for this or any
other constitution. What the end
will be no one ean tell. - Washington

A destructive overflow of the Mis
sissippi is now inevitable. Nothing
less than a miracle can prevent it.
At this tittle I lie farmers of its fertile
bottoms having the finest, prospect
that have gladdened their eyes for
years. One week lienee all will have
boon swept away. There is no esti
mating the damage that will be done.
It will be equivalent to the submer
sion of the 11 nest kingdom in Europe.
And the news is that the rains con

New York, August 3. The Tribune
says information was obtained yester

j several days to secure all those
| creditors who are traveling abroad
i with letters of credit and circular
i note's for which they have paid cash,
and who have been unable to use
! them since the failure of the firm.
Alexander Duncan, of Scotland,
i father of Win. 1). Duncan, has offered
I to guarantee these credits if the
! Union Bank, or Rome other institu
tion in London, will undertake the
\ payments, and it. is believed that final
| arrangements for the purpose will be
consummated to-day. Even if the

! arrangement will be made by which
the desired object: will be attained,
and all further inconvenience to per

APPLETONS’
American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, and illus
trated with Several Thousand Engravings
and Maps,
The work originally published under the title
of The Nkw American (Jyoloimidia whj com
pleted iu 1863, since which timo the wide circula
tion which it lihh attained in all parts of the
United States, ami the signal developments which
have taken place iu every bruuch of science, lit
erature and art, have induced the editors uud
publishers to submit it to hi. exact and thorough
revision, and to issue anew edition entitled Tiik
American Cyclofacdia.
Within the last ton years the progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge bus
made a now work of reference an imperative
wunt.
The movement of political affairs bus kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their lruitfu
application to tlie industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume ol
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial and industrial
activity lias boon commenced.
Largo accessions to our geographical kuowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers ol' 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, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of whoso lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, ol which the de
tails are us yet preserved only in the uewspuperH
or in the truusicut publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their jdace in perma
ueutand authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been tho aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of
the most recent discoveries iu science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practicul arts, as well us to give
11 succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and care
ful preliminary luhor, anil with the most ample

ination.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, hut every page lias been printed on
new type, forming in fact anew Cyclopedia, with
the same plan uud compass as its predecessor,
hut with u far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements iu its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience and
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 the explanations iu
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict tho most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art, as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics und manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
ciubelishment, no paina 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 udinirablc
feature of tho Cyolopoidia, and worthy of its
high character.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the
cow'h udder and kept dry for years, then mois
tened. aud the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
iu it aud drawn gently on the arm, so as not to
draw the blood, will so impregnate aud change
the entire ays tom as to prevent the party so vac
cinated from taking the most loathsome of dis
eases (small pox) for 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
mosphere the poison malaria, why will not the
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and
destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thus
• liable parties to Inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We claim that there is such a remedy, and that
wo have prepared it, aud applied it, aud proved
it iu or Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt—and
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
tlie worst malarial districts without the fear of
having any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills and Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, aud that it will cure all the above dis
eases, except the worst cases of Billious aud Yel
low Fever.
This is called au Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, us it corrects the 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 tho efiecta of malaria in
the least.
It has boon tried in thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can bo obtained from the proprietors in
any quantity at tho Fowcll Building, junction of
Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price for u single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cure or the money refunded.

Messrs. Lovk k Willson: Gentlemen—ln April

Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had

ouo of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all
medicine, and simply wore ono ol' your Belts, as
directed, aud my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe
tite aud clear skin; and iu future, if I should ever
have a Chill or Ague,l would want one of your Pads,
and no physic. Wishing everybody that maybe
so unfortunate as to have Chills aud Fever may
be fortunate enough to get ono of your Belts,
I am, respectfully, etc.,
