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 them ‘rood — PiHsbnPffL 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. W. E. MANGHAM, Ch’n. John 11. Mangham, Sec’y. 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.

A Fact to Ponder Ovi-r.— All of the old soldiers (says an exchange) in the war of 1812 whatever may be their political preddections. 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 SOOT ID. Union. Twelve Thousand Democratic Ma jority. 5 kmphis, August 13 P. M.—The Little Hock Tune Democrat says that Die probable democratic majority in Arkansas is ten thousand to twelve thousand. So far as heard from, Yell, the know noth ing cauidate for Gov. rnor, has carried but one out of twenty four counties. The Legislature stands; Democrats, 65, know nothings, 10 In the Senate, *2O demo crats and 5 know nothing. The democrats have elected the Congresmen in both districts. 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. 63LPersons will be careful to ask for Dlt.

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.

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.
