T.ic Mate PtntcmlmhU,
On Monday evening, Till inst., our people were entertain
ed with a very interesting exhibition, by two Mutes,
Messrs. Clark and Bryan, from Net* York. Nature seems
to have, in a very great degree, supplied the want of hu
man speech, by coaferriug the faculty of communicating
l.y signs, looks and gestures. Many of their representa
tions were highly amusing, and called forth loud ap
plause and frequent cheering from the audience. Mr.
Brougham, one of the performers, happened to the acci
dent of getting his ancle sprained, which prevented his ap
pearing on Monday evening. These gentlemen will re
main with us a day or two longer, and all who are desirous
of enjoying an hour's amusement, would do well to attend
their Pantomimic Concerts.

Who Pays the 000,000,0001
The wrong- a.d injustice of raising Revenue
for the Government.
Last year there was raised by the Govern
ment of the United States from duties on im
ported goods about sixty million of dollars. —
Th * government got the money,—there is no
doubt about that-somebody paid it—who was
it ?
]y the last census of the United States the
property of the whole country was estimated
at about ten thousand millions of dollars—the
sixty millions of dollars raised by the General
Government was a tax of sixty cents on eveiy
hundred dollars value of this property— sx
thousand dollars on the million. William B.
Astor of New York is aid to be worth ten
millions of dollars—his fair share of this tax
therefore wa- sixty thousand dollars. Gener
al Cass is sad to b - worth over live millions
of dollars —his share Would have been thirty
thousand. Leroy 31. Wiley is said to be
worth three milLous—his share was eighteen
thousand Mr. Aiken of Souih Carolina is
vaid to lie worth two millions—his share was
twelve thousand Does any body believe that
they have paid it! Don’t every body know
that they have not paid a tittle of it ? But it
has beeu paid by somebody. v\ ho has paid it ?
It hus been paid by men of small means,
and by men who get their bread by their daily
toil.
Lest it may be supposed these men Inay
pay their portion, let us look a little further
into the subject. We have said that Mr. As
ter’s is sixty thousand dollars: let us see what
amount of foreign goods he would have to con
sume to pay that Assuming the average Uu
tv to be twenty five per cent, it would require
at first cost, $240,000
Expense of getting them here
10 per cent. “ s24,Out)
Merchants’profits 10 per cent. 24,000
Duty 25 per cent. 60,000
34y,001)
That the gentlemen should pay to the gov
eminent their just share according to their
property,it is necessary that Mr. Astor should
consume annually three hundred aud ft.rty
eight thousand dollars worth of foreign goods
Gen. Cass one hundred and seventy-four
thousand dollars; >lr. Wiley one hundred and
four thousand four hundred; and Mr. Aiken
sixty nine thousand six hunched.
Now, suppose Mr. Astor to consume ten
thousand dollars worth of foreign goods at tiist
cost—-the duly wo .id be twenty live hundred
dollafcs the amount of his taxes to the gov
ernment — deduct this from 60,000 —the
nmoniit he ought to pay—and you have 27,500
given to him by the labor ol the country, or
rather taken from it by this iniquitous system
of taxation. Persne the calculation upon the
same basis,and it appears that Gen. Ca.-s pays
hundred and fifty dollars instead of
thirty thousand,leaving twenty eight thousand
.seveu hundred and fifty to be paid for him
Mr Wiley pays seven hundred and fifty dol
Jars instead of eighteen thousand-leaving sev
enteen thousand two hundred and titty to be
paid for him. Mr. Aiken pays ssoo instead
of $12,000 —being $11,500 to be paid for him.
Nowhere are the following amounts that
onght to be paid by the following gentlemen
Mr Astor, $57,500
Gen. Cass, 28,950
Mr Wiley, 17,250
Mr Aiken, 11,500
Making in all, $115,500
These gentlemen ought to pay it. They do
not. It is paid by somebody. It is literally
and in spirit paid for them; and is in fact a
contribution tt> iheiu to that amount. It is
to be wondered at that men of large property
s ouid accumulate rapidly, When the country
is am nallv taxed such sums for their benefit ?
Is there not a spirit of justice in the Country
sufficiently strong to overthrow this iniquitous
system ? We hope and believe there is. We
know there is, if it can once lie brought before
the people in its true ligut. Let us then have
no more low tariff. Let the people move for
a just system of taxation and the abolition of
the Custom houses.— Comer Stone.
Rather Amusing.
The following amiable epistle appeared in a
late number of the Boston Liberator, of which
Garrison is the editor. The writer has a de
cidedly elevated opinion of the Southern peo>
pie generally, and particulaily of his traveling
acquaintance, Edmonson. We suspect ‘Lud’
must have been experimenting on the old fel
low’s sensibilities, and no doubt enjoyed his
trepidation hugely:
Augusta, Ga., Feb. 6th 1856.
Friend Garrison: It is my misfortune to be
once more in this slavery cursed region. Yes
terday, in the cars, soon after leaving Macon
for this place, it was reported that Banks was
elected Speaker in Congress. I expressed my
gratification, and was attacked by a vile
scoundrel, whose name s. ascertained to be
Edmonson, from Atlanta, Ga. He threatened
my life, and with the most vallainous oaths
that it was possible for the language of Billings
gate to invent, swore that nothing but my age
prevented his cutting my head off. A friend
who sat near him exclaimed: ‘Kill the G—d
d—dold Abolitionist ! Never mind his age !
Edmonson said he was suckled and nursed
by a nigger when a child, and now be was a
aigger man, and would like to murder every
man, woman and child from any of the free
States who dared to show their heads in Geor
gia, His language was the most abusive and
profane I ever heard. He left the cars at Mi
lan for Milledgt vilie, and on leaving, threat
ened to drag me to a tree, and make a nigger
give me a hundred lash s. llis threat, how
ever, he did noi fu Bill I bsteuod with calm
ness to his abuse, but must own I felt fright
ened when I saw him feel for a large knife, the
handle of which I could see partly concealed
beneath his vest. On his leaving, he left a
poo; of tobacojni.ce not quite large enough to
drown himself in.
I think it would be impossible to find a more
degraded, vile and polluted set of men on
the lacs of the earth than can be met with in
these slave States There are exceptions, but
they are rare. The whites are more degrad
ed than the blacks less polite, equally filthy,
and more vulgar. Their common food is to
bacco, their common drink whiskey, and their
common language profanity If they can es
cape the damnation cf Dell, I think the rest
of mankind are safe.
1 am collecting many facts in reference to
the accursed slave system, which I shall not
fail to make known if my life is spared to New
England Work on, dear friend ! This hor
rible system must be abolished. Truth and
justice demand it, and God will accomplish it.
Yours ever, for the slave,
A Hard Drinker— Tooke used to say that
“Person would drink ink rather than not
drink at all.” Indeed, he would drink any
thing lie was sitting with a gentleman after
dinner in the chambers of a mutual friend, a
Templar, who was then ill and confined to bod
A servant came into the room, sent thither
by his master for a bottle of embrocation
which was < n the chimney pice. “I drank it
an hour ago, ” said Porson.
When Ho pner the paint'r was residing in
n cottage a few m.les from London, Porson
one aftiTueon unexpectedly arrived there.—
Toppner said that lie con'd not offer him
dinner, as Mrs. 11. had got) to town and had
carried v\ ith her tiie ke\ of the clo-et which
contained the wine. Por on, however, declar
ed that he would be contented with a mutton
chop and beer from the next alehouse; and
accordingly staid to dine During the evening
Porson said, “I am quite certain that Mrs.
tloppner keeps some nice bot'les for her pri
vate drinking in her own bedroom; so pray,
try if you *can lay your hands on it.“ His
host assured him that rs V. had no such
secret stores; but Porson in-isting that a search
should be made, a bottle was at last discover
ed in the lady’s apartment, to the supprisn of
Hoppner and the joy of Porson, who soon
finished its contents, pronouncing it to be the
best gin he had tasted for a long time Next
day Hoppner, somewhat out of temper, in
formed his wife that Porson had drunk every
drop of her concealed dfuui, “Drunk every
drop of it!” cride she; ‘,rnV God! it was spir
its of wit e fot* the lamp!”
Transient Yorxfi Gentlmkx.—- -Girls be
ware of transient young g* iris; never suffer the
addresses o a stranger, recollect ilmt one good
steady .farmt-r boy or mechanic is worth all
the floating trash in the world. The allure

his neck a walking stick in his paw, some
honest taylors coat on his back, and a brain
less skull, can never make np the loss of a
kind farther’s house, e good mother’s counsel,
and the society of brothers and sisters: their
affections lost while that of such a young
man is lost at the wane of the honeymoon.
’Tis true Evanvillc Journal.
Purchase of Silvfr Coin at the Mint.—
The Director at the United Stales Mint at
Philadelphia, has given notice that purchases
of silver for coinage will be made on tlu* follow
ing terras, payable in diver coins of the new
issues. Five franc places at 99 cents; old
Spanish dollars at 105 cents; Yexiean and
South American doliars at 106 1-2 cents, half
dollars of the United states coined before 18
87, an 52 1-4 cents; >crm m, Swedish, Danish,
Norwegain and old French crowns at 114

AWo derful Mirror. The papers state
that there was lat ely exhibited in Paris a
huge concave mirror, an instrument of a start
ling species of opticial magic. On standi g
close to it, presents nothing but a monstrous
dissection of your physiognomy •’n retire
ing a couple of feet, it. gives your own face and
figure in true proportion but reverst and the head
downward. But retire slill farther, standing
at the distant of five or six feet from the
mirror, and behold, you see yourself not a
reflection—it dose not strike you a a refiej
tion—but your veritable self, standing in the
middle part between you and the mirror !
The effect is almost appalling, from the idea it
suggests of something supernatural—so start
ling, indued, is the exhibition, that men pos
sesed of the strongest never will shrink involun
tarily at the first view.
Radishes. —We are frequently taken tb
task, for the war we have waged upon this
worse than worthless vegetable. For fifteen
ye>rs, we have not permitted olie to grow in
our garden or to disgrace our table, and we
have found the advantage Os pursuing this
course, in the improved health of our fam
ily. Man is the only animal that will eat n
radish, either raw or cooked The sagacious
hog will starve before he will eat the poisonous
trash. Crude radishes are the most indigesti
ble food that can be taken into the human
stomach, independent of the acrid, piosonons
substance they contain. But they do not hurt
me, exclaims one, I can cat them with impu
nity, and with a relish. But, dear reader, do
you not have the headache,or a bad breath? —
Have you no doctor’s bills to pay? A radish
eaten in the spring may cause a fever in the
fall. If any one doubts the poinsonous qual
ities of radishes, let them be cut in slices, three
or four’ and soak the slices in water for twelve
hours, and taste the water. Asa watchman
upon the horticultural watchtower v.e cannot
commend the culture of a vegetable, that wo
know to be injurious. Soil of the South.
Dr. McLaue’s t'rklil'aUii Llvrr Pills In Texas.
Travis co., Texas, June 12, 1854.
Messrs. Fleming Brothers, Pittsburg, Pa.—Gentlemen :
This is to certify, that my mother had been subject to peri
odical attacks of sick headache for a great many years ;
all the usual remedies failing to give relief, one of your
pamphlets accidentally falling into her hands, she at once
determined to try Dr. McLane’s Celebrated Liver Pills,and
immediately procured a box, from the use of which she re
ceived great benefit, and so long as she continued to use
them, was entirely relieved.
We have now been in Travis co., Texas, for the last four
years, and not being able to procure these valuable Pills
her attacks of sick headache have again returned—for some
time back has been gradually getting worse—and has de-*
termined me to send to you fora few boxes of Dr. McLane’s
Celebrated Liver Pills. I herewith enclose you one dollar,
for which you will please send me Pills per return mail.—
Address Austin,Texas.
I think you would do well to establish an agency at Aus
tin ; the Pills are well known here, and would meet with
ready sale. M. W. HENRY.
s=.Persons will be careful to ask for DU. McLANE’S
CELEBRATED VERMlFUGE,manufactured by FLEMING
8R.0., of Pittsburg, Pa. All other Vermifuges in compari
son, are worthless. Dr. McLane’s genuine Vermifuge, also
his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all respectable
D rug Stores. None genuine without the signature of

Departed this life at his residence in Mcriwhethcr county
Ga. on the 14th day of March 1850, Abner Durham, Esq.
in the 76 year of hisage; the deceased wasa native of Surry i
county N. C. and in the 20th year of his age removed to j
Jasper county in this State, he also resided in Putnam !
and Monroe counties, In 1827, he removed to Meriwether
(then Troup county,) where lie continued to reside up to
the time of hie death—being one of the early settlers in
this county, the deceased was generally and extensively
known as a man of strict integrity with all his dealings
with his fellow man. For many years lie discharged the
duties of Justice of the Peace in his district aud also the
duties of Justice of the Inferior court for the county with
that independence and probity, which was so eminently
characteristic of him. in all the varied relations of life,
possessing a strong vigorous independent mind, no power
on earth could bias or control” his judgement when once !
deliberately formed. Born during the stiring times of the ;
Revolution, his mind was deeply imbued with Republican |
principles, as well as the principles of civil and religious j
liberty, of which his whole iile was a practical illustration, j
he was in faith and practice a Jeffersonian democrat in j
true sense of that term, Devotedly attached to the Consti-1
tution of his country—he combatted Federalism and all |
the other isms of the day, K~ow Nothingism included, up i
to the day of his'death. His patriotism and love of coun
try, was not merely that of naked profession, he was a sol :
dicr in the war of 1812, and took an active part in main
tabling the rights and liberties of his countrymen, in the
tented field, in that-glorious struggle for the principles, he t
so well loved and delighted to cherish throughout his ■
longlife. He was for many years an exemplary member
of the Primitive Baptist church, and when the grim mes
senger of death came to sumon him from earth and those j
friends he loved so well, he was prepared for that solemn
event. Death had no terror for him ; lie died as he had i
lived, an honest man, the noblest work of God, and a Chris
tian full of years, respected and honored by all who knew
him ; but he has gone to his long home. We shall never
more receive the warning voice of the old, faithful patriot
and Christian in behalf of the constitution of his country, of
his church, and the religion of his Saviour, in which he
was a firm aud consistent believer. Let us not forget his
warning counsels, aud strive to imitate his patriotism and
his Christian virtues, and be prepared to meet him in that
world which knoweth no evil. To his immediate family
and relatives, his death is irreparable*and especially to the
aged partner of his bosom, for he was an affectionate bus-1
band, kind parent, and humane master ; and though he !
can never return to them, yet by imitating his virtues, and !
obeying his precepts, they have the assurance that they I
may go to him in that world of bliss, where the wicked
cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest.
AN OLD FRIEND.
Greenville, Ga., April, 1856.
“Born into the Spirit World,
Transplanted—a FI ower from Earth to Heaven.”
Died on the 31st day of March last, little Mauy Russell,
daughter of Mr. W. W and Mrs. Fannie R. Woodruff, aged
5 years, 3 months and 21 days.
Only five short weeks ago, her parents wfere deprived of
their little daughter Ella. Still we trust they “mourn not
as those without hope ; ’ and though tire ties of affection
have been torn, and the wound now bleeds afresh, though I
they will iriiss the childish voices, the little footfalls, and ,
the tones, of mirth, still the knowledge that no tomb has
closed over their loved ones, no sleep till a coming resnrrec-1
tion, is theirs, the knowledge that though unseen, they still
live, and linger around the loted ones here will near them !
up when the heart is ready to sink, and the affections yearn
for the treasures that are passed away.
