IN mercy to the afflicted, and the gratitude and high opin

sician, 1 deem it my duty to mention the case of my wife,
hoping at the same time that all persons similarly afflicted,
may be benefitted by’ it. In the first part of this year, my
wife had several small lumps make their appearance in her
breast; they continued to increase in size, until the whole
breast became a diseased mass, and very painful. I procured
the best medical aid in the city of Rome,"and notwithstanding
the earnest and faithful attention of our most skillful physi
cians, she continued to grow worse and worse, until they
gave the case up as incurable, and advised amputation. I
was advised by many of my friends, to visit Dr. Moseley, of
Griffin, Ga., which I did, aud, astonishing as it may seem,
be had her entirely cured within one month, and she is now
in good health! 1 would advise all who are afflicted with
Seirrlms, and Cancerous affections to visit the Doctor with
out delay, as 1 am satisfied by’ experience and observation,
that he is the most skillful physician in thcSouthern States,
in the treatment us that horrible disease—cancer.

A Touching Story.
I lie editor of the Chicago Times, having
been on tlie North side of the city to see a
friend, was recently prevented from .reaching
his home, in consequence of a steam tng hav
ing passed up the river with a small fleet of
vessels in tow one of which had been cast off
and hauled in just vest of the bridge, leaving
the ‘draw’ still open While waiting he wit
nessed the following scene:
The vessel we have mentioned was moored
or made fast outside of several canal boats;
and as we stood locking at the men upon her,
one of them approached a female, who had
been crouched upon deck, and addressing her
pointed to the shore, then to the bridge, and
then down towards the thronged and busy
streets of living, moving, headlong ( hie go
Mie rose picked up a small bundle, from which
she drew forth a coin which she tendered to
the hardy sailor. He refused it, whatever it
was, and lending her a hand, helped her from
the vessel to the dock up to the bridge. By
this time a large crowd of persons thronged
the North end of where the bridge would be if
it were always a bridge; and in contemplating
the new faces, and the representatives of the
various classes there assembled, we had almost
forgotten the incident we hare related Onr
ntt ntion was called from the vain endeavor
to discover some cessation of tugs going up and
down, and brigs and skooircrs puling in an out
by hearing a most audible sob from someone
near us. It was rot the sob of childhood,
caused by some sudden change from gaiety to
grief; it was the sob of some maturer breast,
filled with a sense of loneliness and despair.—
It reached other ears than ours
A lady dressed in a manner which bespoke
a wealth which could tratify taste and ele
gancy and who, like ourselves, was detained
at that place, stood near, accompanied by
three children, \vhose desire to get at the ex
treme edge of the platform she with difficulty
repressed. With a woman’s tenderness her
heart recognized the stifled ebullition of sorrow
and appraehing the porso from whom it came,
who was none other than the woman we had
just seen land from the ve sel she quietly, and
in that, sweet voice of woman which none can
re-ist inquired if she stood in need, or was she
ill, or was her sorrow such that she could not
he relieved A portion of the railing near us
was vacant, sjnd towards that and almost at
onr side these two women came to converse.—
The stranger was a fair, handsome girl of
about seventeen years; neatly but coarsely
dressed, with shoes not only well worn but
heavy, and unsiiited as much for her sex as for
the season The poor girl, in honest simplici
ty,and with an earnestness which dispuir alone
can impart, relatedlier history, uninterrupted
by a single observation from her companion,
but often accompanied by the tears of both.
We have not space for it at length, but we will
give ( changing its order, just enough to enable
us to state it hr efiv.
She said that she was born in Boston; she
had no b other nor sister now, she remember
ed that she had a sister, the oldest, whose
name was Lizzie; that sister, years ago, against
her father’s will had married, and with her
husband having been banished from her fath
er’s sight, had gone off and not been heard of
sin i* no doubt was dead. Ai the time of her
sister’.- marriage her parents were wealthy
he pride which drove away Lizzie had
brought silent regrets, and after a while came
inelancho y complainings by the mother sigh
ing for the unbrace ot her first born. These
soon led to anger and crimination at home, and
dissolution by the father abroad. Losses came
upon them, and at last, gathering tlie few re
maining goods they possessed, they left the
>. roud city of their birth, and settled five years
ago upon land purchased of the Government
in Wi.-c >nsin Her brothers, some older and
f>o e younger than herself, one by one droop
ed and died; and soon the mother, calling m
agony upon her long exiled daughter, joined
her boys in a happier clime. None were now
left but the father and this poor girl. He too
was humbled and strickened by the slow
but certain disease which lights up the cheek
and fires the eye with brilliancy of health,even
when its victim is on the confines of eterni
ty. . .
He would sit and tell to his surviving child
the acts of winning love and sacrificing devo
tion which had made his Lizzie the very object
of his life. He would talk of her sweet smile
and happy disposition, until memory would
lead him to the hour when he bid her depart,
and not let him see her face again. His de
cline was rapid, and this lone child .-aw the
flowers which the warmth of Spring had ca led
bom the soil of her mother’s grave disturbed,
uprooted and thrown aside, that his ashes
might mingle with those of the mother of his
children.
At his death he charged her to pay off as
far as slu- in ght. be able, the debts incurred to
procure the necessaries of life The land,
which from want of culture, had not increased
in va ue, was sold, and left her but a fe* dol
lars. These she expended* in rearing some
boards to mark the spot where she had seen
buried, one after another, her beloved kindred
She hail heard of Chicago. She heard that in
this city there were offices where strangers
wishing employment could find work. She
had on foot travelled many miles,until she had
readied Milwaukee, and thence by the kind
ness of a poor sailor, who had seen her day af
ter day on the dock, watching the steamers
depart, had inquired and ascertained that she
wished to come hither, but laid not the money.
He brought her to Chicago on his own vessel,
and had told her that by crossing the bridge
she could find one of those places where situa
tion- were given to worthy applicants.
Such was her story. She had mentioned no
name except that of father, mother, and the
very endearing appellations of'brot. er George.
Willie &c. Both of the women were crying
bitterly. The fashionably dressed lady tur. ed
her face towards the river that her tears at
such a crowded and unusual place might not
be observed. She requested us to take her
two boys, George and Willie,she called them,
by the hand, to keep them from danger, and
putting her hand around the neck of the poor
wandering stranger, said:
* 1 You are my sister. lam Lizzie, .”
These two beings, children of the same pa
rents, how differently have been their paths,
and how different their sufferings! We have
seen them together in Lizzie’s carriage, driving
along Lake street They are doubtle-s as
happy as their bereavements, relieved only by
the consciousness of duty faithfully performed,
can permit. But while the suffering of that
father and mother may be faintly known from
the story of the daughter, what .must have
been the mental agony of that other daughter,
unkindly banished from her mother’s side, and
driven out. into the world without a farther's
blessing? What must have been her grief when
her letters written from a prosperous city, from
the house of her wealthy and kind husband,
telling them of her success and the birth of her
children, were unnoticed and unanswered?--
She must have felt indeed that the hearts of
that father and mother, her sisters and brothers
must have been hardened against her That
scene will live in our memory while wo can
remember the holy love of a father, mother,
and kindred.
A Fearful Adventure.
The Missouri Republican, in a letter from a
Kansas correspondent, has the following:
‘At St. Joseph’s I saw Mr. A. I. Gorman
k of New York, who has just come in from the
moi.ntains in such a state of prostration and
affliction as could only have been occasioned
by such exposure, hardship and suffering as,
perhaps, no other man ever survived. In com
pany v,ith a Canadian Frenchman and two
Kentuckians he left the country of the Black
feet Indians last Fall, to join Cttlverson and
party at Fort Pierre and accompany them to
the States They arrived at Fort Pierre two
days after Cnlverson’s departure, and hasten
ed on after, in the hope of overtaking him.
On the third day one of tho>e snow storms
known only in those bleak and elevated re
gions, opened upon them. It came down in
solid mass s to the depth of four feet, and was
blown about by drifting winds, leveling une
ven places, penetiating and filling their wa
gon cloths and obstructing their progress
evening was appronchining and they resolved
to moke one effort to reach a more protected
plac before the night set in. They urged their
horses forward, but had not proceeded more
than a few hundred yards, Gorman being
mounted on one of the teamsters, aud his com
panion in the wagon—when suddenly he felt
himself precipitated, he knew not how far, into
an abyss of snow. He was completely cover
ed over, and could not -tell which way to turn
He struggled on, however, making a slow
and tedious way, until he came to the surface—
he supposedoi hundred yards from where he
sank. He looked around for his companions,
but neither they nor the wagon could be seen
I he ]dace where they had fallen into the chasm
was smoothed over, and presented a plane of
snow.’ He cried aloud for them, but was only
answered by wild and wailing winds.
A feeling of dread aud desolution and des
pair came over him, and he was about to yield
himseh to death which seemed inevitable. Al
ready had the cold penetrated his frame; dark
ness was covering the skies; the inceasing
winds whirled the more furiously;
lie was alone in a vast inhospitable, unknown
country, without provisions, without shelter,
without arms or amunition, and lie was fear
ful to take a step in any direction, lest he
should be buried in a deep abyss. Ilis man
hood was subdued, he wept like a child; the
memories of liis happy home, and his mother,
came fresh upon him; he knew the many anx
ions hours, Ihe miserable years thai his un
known fate would cause her; if he eould only
seidhir One word of affec iouate adieu, he
could die in peao ; but tnai c uld not be, and
he must, rouse himself.
He offered lus first prayer for heavenly aid;
lie arose and moved forward through the dark
ness and the drifts. He sometimes fell from
exhaustion, and felt inclined 1 1 repose; but he
knew t hut one moment’s pause was fatal, and
he struggled on The next day lie saw some
bushes, which gave him hope of rest and warmth,
but when he reached tlie.n he found, to liis
dismay that the matches in his pocket were
wet and spoiled, and * ould not he ignited
His feet had become so soie and swollen lroin
constant walking, as to burst the s les from
his shoes and he was compelled to cr>wl and
tumble along. Thus he worki and his way slowly
hut unceasingly thro’ the next night aud the
next day, becoming more faint each hour, and
suflfeiiiiii a thousand deaths trom hunger,thirst,
frosted limbs,sore feet, weariness and drowsi
ness, when he descried a hut a short way off.
buddenly revived, like a candle flickering in
the socket, he sprang and ran forward a tew
steps and screamed for help, and fel senseless
in the snow Some Indians at the hut. heard
and saw him and went and brought him in,
and used all their restoratives upon him; but it
was several days before he ret timed to con
sciousness, and six long weeks before lie left
his bed. He 1> st several of liis toes and is
otherwise permanently injured, hut through
the assistance of some generous gentlemen ot
St. Joseph, he will he enabled to reach home.
His companions have neve: been heard of.
The place where .they perished’ Mr Gorman
ascertained to lie about thirty miles from where
the steamer “ hite Fiord lies; but the snow
was still deep in the gulches when lie left there
He gave their names, but I regret that they
have escaped my memory.

Grasshoppers. Some sort of insect—we
have been told that is the grasshopper—has
been playing sad havoc with corn in some
neighborhoods in this county. Several persons
having told us that their corn was being
destroyed in this way, we walked out to ex
amine our Cray, which had been recently work
ed over, aud we could scarcely ‘ locate” the
rows, so general had been the desetruction!
In one patch of five or six acres, (joining the
woodland,) there was not a stalk left to every
twenty yards square!! Will some professor of
“the shovel and hoe” tell us what can lie done
to prevent such “varments” from destroying
young corn ?—Southern Watchman.

Suicide. — A man by the name of Lewes
Wurdig, an employee in the Georgia Rail-
Road Sl op, committed suicide in this city, on
VVendsday evening last, by cutting his throat
with a razor. We have heard no cause ascri
bed for this rash act of self destruction, far
ther than the supposition that it was done in
a fit of mental aberation The deceased had
been indisposed for a few days, and confined
to his room v\ here he was found on the eveuing
mentioned, with his throat cut from ear to ear.
Mr. Wurdig was a native of Germany, and
supposed to be about 28 years of age.—Atlan

Tlse Washington Sentinel.
We can not join our friends of the Pennsyl
vanian and the Harrisburg Patriot in com
mending the Washington Sentinel to the con
fidence and support of the Democracy of Penti
sylrania. ‘! he Sentinel was established some
months after the inauguration of President
Pierce, os ensiblv to give an “independent sup
port” to his administration, but in reality to
give it an independent stab Sometimes it
openly condemned the President, and’ at oth
ers damned him with the faintest of faint praise.
At no time during his whole career, has it gi
ven the administration any support whatever*
and latterly—-particularly since the judgment
of our ouster rendered against it in the Senate
its chief employment has been the vitupera
tion of the President and his constitutional ad
visers.
It cannot be possible that our friends of the
Pennsylvanian and the Patriot endorse the
Sentinel’s assault upon the administration !
We are sure they do not. But the Sentinel,
has come out for Mr. Buchanan, and on the
spur of the moment, overlooking its gross and ;
numberless transgressions, they have commend
ed it to the favor of his friends. In taking its
stand for the favorite sou of Pennsylvania, af
ter destroying his own character as a demo
cratic journal, the Sentinel has done Mr. Buch
anan a service so infinitesimally small, that we,
at least, have no thanks to render therefor.-
If it lias, i'n the extravagance of its vitupera
tion of the President, so far exhausted its stock
of poison that its bite is no longer as fatal as
the viper’s, there is reasou to fear that its em
brace may be as crushing as that of the boa
constrictor. It is now sliming Mr. Buchanan
with its advocacy, and it will swallow him
whenever its appetite or its ungovernable pas
sions demand anew victim.
The democracy of Pennsylvania will patron
ize no such sheet as the Washington Sentinel.
They will endorse with their subscriptions no
journal that abuses the present administration.
They are for Mr. Buchanan against all the
world, but they never have depreciated, anti
they never will* depreciate, the claims of any
other candidate for the Presidency. Last of
all will they reward or countenance the persis
tent slanderer of an administration that has
been true to the constitution and to all its
trusts.
The Cam els have Come. —The United State
storeship Supply has arrived at Galveston from
Smyrna, with thirty five camels on board. The
Supply was sent out last fall to procure these?
camels for the purpose of trying the experiment
of transporting the mails on them’ across the
plain- to Califonia, &e. One of the animals
only died on the voyage. Several Arabs ac
company them as keepers, and aniuclorsure pf
ten acres has been prepared at indianolk,
Texas, for their temporary accommodation,
where they will remain until fully recruited.—
The experiment is a novel one, but there is
every reason to believe thau it will succeed
(unless molested by the Indians) and will be
of great accommodations until the “iron horse”
commences his rapid flight across the plains.
