Politics yield the place, this week, to ex elto.nents of a more local- character. Tite frightful ravages by the floods, in the middle and South of France, have awakened the most jlivelv sympathy at Paris in behalf of the suffer ,ers. No such devastation from floods has -ever been experienced in France. The num iber of houses swept away, of property des troyed, of families ruined and turned destitute in the streets, surpass anything known in America as the result of an inundation. Be side, in France, houses, bridges, railroads, cat tle, grain and grain crops, in fact, all tilings susceptible of being destroyed by a flood, pos sess much more actual value in money than they do in the United States ; and when a man is once ruined in France, it is the labor of a life time to ar ive again at his former po sition. The losses, therefore, are the more deplorable. Notwithstanding the gloat distauce from Paris, the Emperor started suddenly on Sun day to the scene of suffering. He took with him three of his officers and two hundred thousand francs. At Lyons he mounted a horse and rede from point to point through the inundated city, examining the extent of the damage and encouraging thp sufferers by kind words and money liberally given Jle carried a leather bag full of Napoleons, swung to his saddle bow. Where bridges weie carried away, he was obliged to cross the rapid and furious streams in bo:u, and this he did at times, in danger to his life, for the fury of the waters is repye senteu as something awful to behold. He passed down the Rhine as far as Aries, nearly in signt of the Mediterranean, ever where v sing personally the scene of disaster, and r b .ing to the destitute, with his owp u .s. t.\e much, needed relief. After a stay of four ia_ s, the Emperor returned to town to n*. , having left Lyons last evening at 8 o'clock, by a special express train. Commissioners of tlie Midlc Ground Hail Road.

Mr. Toombs gave notice of his intention to intro duce a bill, to take the census of Kansas, and to pt otect the exercise of the elective franchise in that territory, and to provide for calling a convention to form a constitution, preparatory to adrnis ion into the Union. Mr. Evans replied to Mr. Sumner's attack on the history and institutions of South Caro lina Senate. —Mr. Fish presented a letter from George Sumner, brother of Senator Sumner. It states that the impression which might be drawn from Dr. Boyle’s letter, that the latter was dismissed from his attendance upon Mr, Sumner on account of the character of the testimony the House Committee, was unfounded, as Tflr di<r®fcM; know at the time. Dr Boyle was dismissed. Senator Sumner was suffering from high fever, with his pulse at 104, and Dr. Perry being willing to take charge of the case, Dr. Boyle’s services were no longer wanted.

The Natchez (Mississippi) F/cc Trader says: “A gentleman of this City; heretofore a prominent leading Whig, remarked in our pres ence, previous to the assembling of the Cincin nati Convention, that if Mr. Buchanan was nominated, there would be no contest at all in the South, that the conservative portion of the Old Whig party,would give him a unan imous and cordial support, and that the Dem ocratic rule would be insured for the next 20 years. Were we to mention the name of the gentle-1 man who gave this opinion, we know it would j give it greater weight, but, as it was a private j conversation, wc forbear. The sentiment, how ever, is one which we know is entertained by ; most of the conservative Wlrgs in this coun try. Montgomery Journal, a Whig and Fillmore paper, in its issue of the 18th inst, thus consoles itself and its friends’: “Mr Fillmore has not been posted up, or is singularly misinformed. We but stated what we have reason to believe, that Ml*. Fillmore, with his known national conservative principals cannot carry a Northern State, running under the flag of the Know Nothings; for the masses of the Know Nothings themselves will not support him. Men may grumble at us for speaking so plainly ; but we speak what we believe ; at least all who have taken pains to watch or uotire the progress of events. — There is no honesty or policy in attempting to hide these facts.” FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION ORDER OF THE PROCF.SSION, 4tll JULY, 185 G.

I do hereby certify to tne public, that a child of mine, 4 years old, being*troubled with worms, I was induced to purchase a bottle of Dr. M’Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, which I administered, and the result was, it brought away an immense number of worms in bunches and strings, ma ny had L'ne appearance of being cut to pieces. My child is now enjoying most excellent health. I take pleasure in re commending it to both young and old, as one of the lest medicines I ever used. MRS. ANN JEMISON, 38, 9th-st.

This wonderful preparation is having an extensive sale in all parts of the Union. It is one of the fewpateut medi cines which are now sold over the country, that are really what their inventors claim for them. Wherever it has had a fair trial, the result lias been precisely as Wood predicts. It has never failed to turn the white hair black to the natu ral color, where the directions have been strictly followed, and in numerous cases it hms restored the hair upon heads that bad been bald for yearsV It is not pretended that ft will make the hair grow in Aery case, but where it fails, there is certainly no Remedy. The restoration of the hair lias beep effected in so many instances where the case seem ed utterly hopeless, that it is certainly worth while for all who have lost their hair, to try the experiment of using a bottle or two of Wood’s Restorative. —Moline Workman.

THIS valuable machinc,.second only to the invention of the Cotton Gin, is destined to produce a remarkable change in the method of gathering cotton from the field It will do the work of from three to five hands in picking cotton from the stalk, and is- evidently a labor-saving ma chine. Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks the cotton dean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, aud from the ra pidity of its work, will enable the Planter to prepare his crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general arrangement of the Plantation. It is light, weighing about 8 pounds, is suspended by a strap over the shoulders,and is.operated by means of a crank turned by the hand or fingers. The simplicity of this ma chine'!* Its leading feature—it is not liable to get out of or der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent to use it. One harvester, with proper cale, will last a series of years. We are now selling State and County Rights for the man ufacture and use of the above machine.
