Smokiug them out.
The telegraph some days since reported
much excitement in Mobile in consequence of
the discovery that a- book selling firm in that
city were engaged in vending abolitiou publica
tions. The following account of the affair ap
pears jn the Mobile Tribune,.
For the past four days the citizens of Mobile
have been greatly excited inconsequence of the
discovery that one of our largest bookselling
firms—Messrs. Strickland & Co.—have been
vending incendiary books. How long they have
been engaged iu it, it is not now-possible to
tell, but there is great reason to believe that it
lias run through several years. For some weeks
suspicion has attached to them; but evidences
justifying an investigation were obtained only
•a few days ago. The matter was then taken
in hand by a committee composed of some of
the most respectable and discreet citizens, who
met from day today and advanced step by step
to the conclusions on which they have acted. —
The guilty parties were examined, and every
lacility was given to them to justify themselves.
1 heir defence, however, only farther criminated
them, finally, after a thorough examination,
the most complete proofs were found of their
guilt.
1 hose men—especially the leading partner
<>l the house, Mr. Strickland—have lived many
years within this State. They came hither
\ery poor, and by the generosity of our people,
lunl built up a successful and profitable busi
ness Mr. Strickland, it is thought, was wotth
at least fifty thousand dollars—and before them
there was a prosperous career, which, in a few
years, would have secured to them an ample
fortune. It is a little difficult to suppose that
men in this condition would jeopardise their
present interests, to say nothing of those of the
future, in order to pander to the wicked spirit of
abolitionism. They are not, apparently, the
men likely to do this, and were probably bent
on nothing more than thrift. They desired to
make money: and it was not a question, per
haps, of much moment with them how they
made it. And in this mercenary* spirit they
pay so heavy and just a penalty.
After a fair but rigid investigation by the
committee, its conclusion was that they were
unfit to remain in the city—and thus charita
bly, and-it seems to us, justly, it was determin
ed that they should be requested to leave with
in live days. A delegation accordingly pro
ceeded to their store in order to report to them
personally this decision; but the culprits were
not to be found, and it was afterwards learned
that both of them had fled. Strickland on
Friday evening- proceeded in the storm then
prevailing to the light house below the city,
and there was put-on board of a schooner which
immediately hoisted sail and disappeared. Os
what Iras become of his partner, Upson, we
have no certain information. He probably by
this time lias put a large distance between him- ‘
self and this outraged community.
Terrible calamity at Last Island.
Awful indeed was this calamity. The, ac
counts, as they come in avow, it to have been
the most dreadful and appalling that has ever
occurred in this State. We can scarcely real
ize the extent of the distraction of life, of all
ages, of both sexes, parents and children, mas
ters and servants, hurried without scarcely an
hours warning into eternity. Who shall depict
the shrieks of agony and despair, the death
struggle of mother and child, a husband and
wife, as one after another they bowed before
the pitiless fury of the storm iiend? The full
reality is worse, not only than what was first
represented, but more harrowing and destruc
tive than even fears had anticipated ! AVe
give a list this morning of one hundred and
seventy three, and even this, frightful as it is,
does not, we are assured, include all the victims
of the disaster. It is unparalled in the history
of this State, and will be remembered by many
a mourner as the great calamity.
This wind begand to blow at an early hour
on Saturday evening, the 9th instant and con
tinued to blow all night. In the morning it
increased, and by noon it blew a perfect hurri
cane. The wind, commencing in the North,
veered round to the east and then to the south
aud south-west, thus blowing the waters in a
heap, as it were, upon the Island, from every
point of the compass. As the waters rose and
the house began to give way, the wretched
victims sought the highest point of land, or
were overwhelmed in the attempt; some were
precipitated into the surging waters by the
crash of houses, or bruised by the floating tim
bers. Parents saw their children and servants
struggling in the throes of death before their
eyes, with no power to help them. ’Husbands
and wives bowed before the wrath of the piti
less storm liend. Many attempted to get on
board the steamboat Star, which was lying
near, and while many perished in the attempt,
others succeeded, but such was the strength of
the raging tempest, that the boat itself was
wrecked, and those that Anally survived were
taken clinging to its shattered remains, there
being scarcely anything of it left but the hull
and boilers.
Many, we are assured, were overwhelmed
by the drifts of sand, and now lie buried there,
whose names even will probably never be known
till the sea shall give up its dead. The hurri
cane continued all Sunday night and Monday
and Monday night. The scenes of those awful
nights no pen can describe, nor shall we at
tempt it. As soon as the storm had in a good
ly measure subsided, and the fiews of the awful
events reached the neighboring coast, the plan
ters and others hastened to the rescue, and done
all t hey could to save the living. Ou Monday the
steamer F X Aubey was despatched to the
scene of the catastrophy, and took off the sur
viving sufferers. Several other boats also went
to the rescue. Those who live in this section
come to the city yesterday morning by the spe
cial train which the railroad company dispatch
ed to Bayou Boeuf. The conductor of the rail
road company has been praiseworthy in the
highest degree. — Geo. 4* Journal.
What a German Said.— A German said to
Us the other day that the great body of the
German Democrats were sound, and would re
main. He gave the reason: In 1854 the Know
Nothing party sprang up suddenly in the great
strength, and threatened the whole country.—
They Denounced bitterly the Dutch and Irish;
declared them a nuisance—and resolved that
the term of residence before naturalization
siioukl be greately extended. They in some
places drove them from the ballot box, and shot
r them down in the streets. They made war on
all ‘foreigners.’ Who stood by the rights of
naturalized citizens then ? To whom did the
foreign born look for protection of their rights?
To the democratic party;.and the democratic
party stood by us like friends and brothers.—
Do you suppose that we would desert that par
ty now, and join with the Know Nothings to
elect the nominee of the New York Know
Nothing Covention ? The German heart is
incapable of such ingratitude. The Germans
know them friends and their interest too well for
that. £u< h were liis reasons-; and he thought

Kansas Meeting.
The Kansas Committee of the several districts in
1 ike county, and the citizens generally, held a
meeting in the court-house, at Zebulon, on Satur
day , the 23rd instaut, to consult together in rela
tion to taking, iurtber steps for the promotion of
the interest of the Georgia Colony in Kansas.
Judge Wiley E. -Maugham was called to the
Chair, and John H. Manghum requested to act as
Secretary.
Oil motion of Dr. J. T. Banks, the names com
posing the different committees were called, and
those who did not respond, were marked as abseil,
tees.
The meeting was then ably and eloquently ad
dressed by W. Pope Jordan, Esq , Col. Hartford
Green and Dr. J. T. Banks - all urging their fel
low-citizens of the county to come forward to the
discharge of their duty iD the present alarming cri
sis. John Neal, Esq., was the first to respond to
the call by contributing fifty dollars in addition to
his former liberal contribution. Notwithstanding
the inactivity of some members of the committees,
the prospect is yet good for Pike to continue well
in the good work.
Col. John J. Carey, of Upson, being present,
was culled for, and responded in an able and patri
otic address.
The committees then organized by electing R.
0. Banks, Chairman, Dr. J. C. Beckham, Secreta
ry, and Dr. J. T. Banks, Treasurer.
On motion of Dr J. T. Banks, the following re
solution was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That this being our second committee
meeting, and having iailed on each occasion to
have the attendance of a laige proportion of those
appointed as committee-men, we again notify them
that our next committee meet ing will be on the
first Tuesday in September next., at which time,
they arc all requested to n eet in Zebi 1 in. And if,
pechance.any person has been appointed to serve as
a committee-man, whose feelings are unfriendly to
the cause ot'-Jvansas, or to the South .maintaining
her rights therein, let it be known, that their names
may be erased and others appointed in their places.
The meeting then adjourned to the first Tuesday
in September.

Affairs in Kansas.
Chicago, Aug. 19.— 1 tis discovered that
the pro-slavery party in Kansas are preparing
and concentrating at various points for a gen
eral attack upon the freesoilers. Blockhouses
have been erected at twelve different points,
and furnished with anus and garrisoned by
companies of Missourians. At a meeting in
Kanshs City, Mo., it has been resolved to send
two thousand men to Kansas, the various
towns furnishing their quota. The border
towns are all excited, and a general rally is de
manded on the part of the Missourians. The
attack on Franklin (previously reported) was
undertaken in order to capture arms*and stores
there deposited, and succeeded in taking a
piece of ordnance and fifty stand of arms.-[Ex.

should vote against Fremont. When is the
United States Senate in 1850, lie voted again t
an amendment to the “Bounty Land Bill,’
introduced by Mr Underwood, of Kentucky,
extending its benefits to “widows and minor
children” of deceased soldiers in that war. This
humane provison Fremont voted against, and
on account of it every old soldier in the war of
1812 should vote against him.
If anybody doubts this vote of Fremont, they
will find it recorded in the Congrcslonal Globe
for the 1 hirty-first Congress, on pages 3005 to

Facts and Fancies.
The Memphis Appeal thus corrects certain
statements recently made’ by Gen. .Haskell, • < t
Tennessee, in regard to • the German newspa
pers published in the United States:
“lie said, moreover, that there were seventy
German newspapers in the United States, and
that every one of them was for Fremont. Here,
again, the General is at fault. It is only three
or four days since we ourselvs published a list,
of some fifty-two German papers in the United
States laboring in the cause of Buchanan and
13reckenridge. The General, we presume, does
not read the democrat papers, and of course is
ignorant of the truth of history VVe insist that
lie ought to inform himself of facts before he
gose out to teach the people.”
Frightful Accident.—A frightful accident
occurred last evening in a house on Washing
ton street, Fourth District. It appears that a
little boy, between three and four years old,
had been out on the streets playing, aud came
in with a handful of nails which he had picked
up. He then said to Ills mother, who was at
the time engaged in washing in the yard, that
he would go up stairs and build a nice little
house. He then went up, and while engaged it:
bis infantile architecture, fell from an un
railed balcony, and unfortunately tumbled into
a large iron kettle which was used by his mother
in heating water. By his struggles the kettle
was overturned, and he wasleftonthe burning
brands like a victim stretched on his funeral
pyre. In the act of removing him from his
frightful position the poor fellow’s skin pealed
off from his body like shriveled parchment, and
lie was left a raw mass of suffering humanity.
Even set the skeleton archer has not come to
his relief, though no hopes of his (iual recovery
are entertained.— JN. (J Picayune.
Dr. MYaiic’s Liver Pills.
When the proprietor of this invaluable remedy purchased
it of the inventor, there was no medicine which deserved
the name, for the cure of Liver and Billfous Complaints,
notwithstanding the great prevalence of these diseases in
the United States. In the South and West particularly,
where the patient is frequently unable to obtain the servi
ces of a regular physician, some remedy was required, at
once safe and effectual, and the operation of which could in
no wise be prejudicial to the constitution. This medicine is
supplied by Dr.M'Lanc’s Liver Pills, as has been proved in
every instance in which it has bad a trial. Always benefi
cial, not a solitary instance has occurred in which its ef
fects have been injurious. The invention of an educated
and distinguished physician, it has nothing in common with
the quack nostrums imposed upon the public by shallow
pretenders to the medical art. Experience has now proved
beyond a doubt, that Dr. M’Lane’s Pill is the best remedy
ever proposed for the Liver Complaibt.

Professor O.J. Wood’s
Hair Restorative, for producing hair on Bald Heads, and
restoring Gray Hair to its Natural color.
THIS astonishing and unequalled preparation has never
tailed to produce a growth on Bald Heads, when used
according to the directions, and turn hair back to its orig.
inal color, after having become grey, and reinstate it in all
its original health; lustre, softness, and beauty.’ Removes
atonceall scurf, and unpleasant itching, scrofula, erup
tions and feverish heat from the scalp. It also prevents
the hair from becoming unhealthy and falling off, and
hence acts a3a perfect Hair invigorator and Tonic.
A gentlem'aif o's Boston writes to his friends in New Bed
ford thus:
To your inquires 1 Would reply, that I first commenced
using Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, my hair was almost
white and had been so for the last ten years, and it was
very thin on the top of my head, and very loose, and pulled
out freely; but I found before I had used all of the second
bottle, (which was eight weeks,) my hair was entirely
changed to its original color, (light brown) and is uow free
from dandruff, and quite moist. I have had my hair cut 5
or 6 times since the change, and have never seen anything
like white hair starting from the roots: and it is now as
thick as it ever was, and does not come out at all, It has
prevailed in my edse all that 1 could wish to ask.

Dear Sir- I have used two bottles of Prof. Wood’s Hair
Restorative,aud caittrulysay. it is the greatest discovery
of the age, for restoring and changing the hair.—
Before using it, I was as gray as a man of seventy. My hair
has now attained its original color. • You can recommend
it to the world, without the least fear, ur my case was one
of the worst kind.

Prof. Wood: My hair commenced falling off some three
or four years since, and continued to do so, untill 1 became
quite bald. I tried all the popular medicines of the day,
but lo no effect. At last, I was induced to tryyoilf celebra
ted Hair Restorative, and am happy to say, it is doing won
ders, I have now a finegrowfh ot young hair, and cheer
fully, recommend its use to all similarly afflicted.

. Rasin Mich., Aug. 2,1855.
This is to certify, that ohe year ugo, I Was quite gray,
and my hair so thin upon the top of fny head, that I feared
its entire loss. In this condition, I applied for and obtain
ed a bottle of Prof. Wood’s‘Restorative,’ and before I lmd
used one quart bottle, the gray hairs had entirely disap
peared and it had thickened up, so as to he full as usualand
it assumed and glossy appearance, appearently mote beautiful
than everit was before. Ido therefore, cheerfully recom
mend it to all those ladies who Value a beautiful head of
hair. 1 will aiso state that I uso it now, occasionally, for
its healthy and beautifying effects.

COTTON HARVESTER, FOR PICKING
.COTTON IN TIIE FIELD.
THIS valuable machine,.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 M ill do the work of from three to five hands in picking
cotton from the stalk, and is eyidently a labor-saving ma
chine. ~ Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks
the cotton glean ana free from trash, leaves it in excellent
condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing
the hands to heavy dews, rains, and cold, and from the ra
pidity of its tfurk, will enjibie tiie Planter to prepare hla
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 oyer the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank
turned by the band or fingers. TJie. simplicity of this ma
chine is 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 case, will last a series
of years. . .
