SATURDAY HORNING, OCT, 7,1854.
Abstract of an amusing bear-fight-
Ttto.<t* who see things through the medium of
Newspapers. have I:it.'ly beeu spectators of an
«nm*mg - tight between our eotcmpmarics of the
TVtirtw -£knUr,£ia& the Corner Stone. Tliey ap
pear upon the stage as rival doctors, each bearing
in fils hand a medicine proposed for the stomach
of the South whom both have made sick even
onto death, we suppose for the purpose of display
ing their skill in the cure of the prostrate patient.
Now as we are no doctor, and propose no remedy,
wo may be allowed to say, cm passant, that wo hope
the South will take the medicine of iWiiher of the
contending physicians, as wo are satisfied that
Hither would work a speedy dissolution of the body
oolitic - - ■ * ■ :. j
1 ,l .'• '. > ■ j
Hr. Corner Su> «• oft'ers but one remedy, which
he considers a specific—a pill of disunion —a von
bitter pill by the way; one which certain doctors have j
often tried to thrust down the throat of the South j
but w hich she has heretofore considered her stom- i
neh too weak to bear, besides, she lias locked j
upon this remedy as worse than the disease.
lij- 7Ywjfs<£' Sntihti himself ouee prtqioscil this :
"•same disunion pill. lhtt it was at a time when the I
pulse of the patient indicated more febrile syrnp- I
toms than now. Under her present condition Dr. |
T mes «!• Se>ntii:>4 thinks a less depleting course ot [
vhvsicking w ill answer the condition of the South. I
opposed to tiic specific of Dr. Corner Stow, j
proi>oses several mediuiues. The first is a dose i
. Paddle ford, Fay A Ce., a mixture prepared by j
l r. Bcnnimr. in whose skill ns a physician Dr. j
TitnrsA' Smitnel has the most unbounded conti- ;
«iei: .v. Its principle clement is State Sovereignty ( |
au article strong as Cayenne pepper, diluted with !
•d.fmitcssimal doses of almost every thing you could j
locution. A happy idea that of Dr. Henning in ’
OMm'omidiug his medicine labelled Paddleford, |
Kav .V Cos., a patent medicine much advertised tuid ,
nulled in a Columbus paper Dn Bemiing's idea
was to get us many things into his medicine as .
possible. He concluded he would take the good
and reject the bad of all the systems. Consequent- j
ly his medicine labelled Paddleford. Fay & Cos., is j
allopathic, hydropathic, homeeopatiiie, rootopathie, i
urinopathic and ehronothermal. And this is the 1
tirst medicine proposed by Dr. Times it Sentinel■ j
The next proposed by hiiu is a medicine to be j
administered to the enemies of the South, whose j
spwidc result v.ouldbeto deny our courts of jus- ;
t i t* to citizens of abolition States. The third mod- j
K-ine of Dr. Taws tic Sentinel is also to be admin- j
istereo to the enemies of the South in the shape of
a “special tax upon goods manufactured in aboli
tion States.” The fourth nostrum is in the form of
h treaty with Great Britain for the rendition of fu
gitive staves; a medicine endorsed by Dr. Richmond i
Enquirer —upon which endorsement Dr. Corner j
Slone sit vs I>r. times & Sentinel greatly glorifies j
himself. It is but justice to the latter Doctor,
however, to say that he denies the "soft impeach-
To ail of the medicines proposed by Dr. Times I
«t Sen:,..-1, Dr. O-rntr Stone objects, saying they
are eiliu-r worth;.ss or injurious to the constitution,
and therefore unconstitutional. Hereupon lie of
the several medicines becomes a little nettled, and
rail- him of the specific. Dr. San Gninth), and says !
he is i.ot disapjxiiuted at the opposition of Dr. ;
( mil that if this Doctor didendaso-his !
medicines, he himself would doubt their efficacy. I
lie then goes on to quote against his opponent ;
i-hiikspcare. Burns and Webster which latter says i
r-itiling about angels down.’'
One important admissioiij is made by ;
Dr. Tune* it Sentinel, which Dr. Corner Stone thinks j
rather in opposition to the former opinion of this j
•doctor. It is that disunion is unconstitutional and j
bloody, whereas he used to say it was constitutional :
and peaceable.
Dr. Corner Stone next compares his opponent to |
; Faddy in the rabbit hunt, [wlio] on finding a j
jack-ass pronounced him the lather of rabbits, j
from the length of his ears.” Then he .says that ,
i T opponent's being so weak, and supporting such j
a weak cause, reminds him of a child which lie j
once saw trying to tote a puppy. The child was so
weak that.he broke down under his load, and both
child and puppy came down together. Then the
child tried to ride the puppy, and from a similar
cause they both again came down together. Then
aavs Dr. Corner Slone, speaking of his opponent
and Ins cause, “It would perhaps be as difficult as j
it is unimportant to determine which of the two is
the weaker, the cause of the advocate; and if we
should undertake to determine between them, we
should he in the condition of Oroeket, when he
compared Wright to thy monkey; we should feel
that we owed an apology to one or the other; hut
<v>uld not tell which.”
Dr. Corner Stone also accuses Dr. Times Jk Sen
tinel of applying the quotation about the angels to
himself, and tells him‘there is a rnan about here
who is a taller angel than he is by at least five or
aix ini-lies.'’
And many other funny things are said by Dr.
Corner Slone to Dr. Times. j£ Sentinel who answers
them all thus: ‘-It is said that words hurt nobody!
nevertheless, Sampson jawed a thousand Philis
tines to death: For fear that we might come to our
death by the use of a similar weapon, wo will
bring our controversy with the Corner Stone, to a
close”—leaving us in doubt whether Dr, Times &
Sentinel is afraid of dying by suicide or by and
through bis rival doctor.
The fight between the two doctors is a very
Amusing one—altogether the funniest affair wc
have seen in a long time; and wo cannot regret
thecauscwdiiciigaveri.se to it—especially as we
learn that the patient upon which our two physi
cians wish to experiment with untried nostrums
,nevcr considered herself in a sounder state than
now, has not called in either of the doctors, and
•would not take the nostrum of either, even though
sick. .
Ho! for the Po3t Office!

Coming Right.
Greene C. Bronson, tho nominee of the New
York Hard Shell Democracy lor Governor of New
York, has taken the true position ou this question,
[the negro question | and,’unless the whole North
ern Democracy will take the same ground, tliey
need not lie surprised that the sympathies of the
whole South will be given to that bra neh of Hit
Democracy which he leads.— Times it Sentinel.
Now if the Times ,(■ Sentinel, and other Demo
cratic .prints in Georgia lmd all talked this way
from the beginning, instead of approving the policy
of Fierce when he set that hog-drover Guthrie to
murder Bronson simply because he was
“An honest man. the noblest work of God,” |
the mongrel crowd of fusionists would not now
have It in their power to so worry the national
democracy as they arc doing. It- is a poor way to
help robbers try to kill a good man, and then turn
round and tell them if they don't do as well as the
man whom they are murdering, their sympathies
will be with the bleeding man. Gods! how in
dignation should swell the hearts of the Southern
people when they see their political leaders heart
and hand with abolitionists for the sake of party!
Literary Items.
G. P. Putnam ,v Cos., have published a volume
from the pen of that inveterate traveler Bayard
Taylor, entitled “A Journey to Central Africa; or
Life and Landscapes from Egypt to the Negro
Kingdoms of the AY bite Nile.--1 vol. 500 pp. 12mo

sissippi.—l vol. 12:uo. 369 pp.
AYhilc it gives us pleasure to sec Southern au
thors are appearing before the public, we are also
gratified to notice that a school history of Alabama
is shortly to be published in Montgomery in that
State. The Alabama authors and publishers will
get the start of those in Georgia, if they keep on.
In fact we do not recollect more than one or two
books written by Georgians that ever had much

Wrong Credit-
Newspaper editors in the hurry of making up
their papers sometimes make strange credits : e. g.,
the .1 meric us News publishes a letter from tho Rev.
Win. M. Crumley, giving an account of tho sick
ness and destitution in Savannah, as taken from
the New York Leader, when in fact it was original
ly published in this paper.
State Fair Postponed-
AVe are requested by David AY. Lewis, Secretary,
to state that the Fair of the Southern Central Agri
cultural Society has been postponed until the 20th
November, on account oi the prevalence of yellow
fever in Augusta.
Wrong Inference-
The Albany Courier says:
“Our brother of the Press speaks as if the power
of oratory and a knowledge of the law, were in
consistent with each other. AVe think he is mis
taken. A man may be, and often is, an excellent
lawyer without being an orator.”
You are mistaken in your inference, brother
Courier. AYo agree with you that “A man maybe,
and often is, an excellent lawyer, without being an
orator.”. Surely every body knows this.
JYgP Our friend Patillo of AYulton forwarded us
the following parody some time ago, which was
mislaid till now.
Oft in the stilly night,
While flees are o’er me stealing;
I feel their sharp and thrilling bite,
| To rouse my angry feeling,
I wish they were all changed to swine,
And Satan had to slaughter,
And salt them down in brimstone brine,
AVithout one drop of water.
And then I’d wish his slaughter house,
In some far distant regions;
Lest they (in sausage, ham or souse)
Should come back here in legions.

Good College Story.— Some of!
the students of the Indiana State Uni- j
versify were suspected to be in the I
habit of drinking brandy. Where
they obtained it was a mystery. Dr.
Daily determined to ferret out the mys
tervf Calling in a small drug store,
the, proprietor asked him “how that
sick student, Mr. Carter came on !”
Smelling a rat, the Doctor answered
in an evasive manner, and soon drew
out of the apot eCarv that students j
under suspicion had been in the habit
of purchasing brandy for a sick stu
dent by the name of Carter ; that he
was quite low, and was kept alive
by stimulants ; that the young gen
tleman seemed very much devoted to
him. .Now the secret was out. This
Carter was a ficticious character, and
the Doctor had the secret.
However, he kept h is own cotins >l.
The next time the students assembled
in the chapel for prayers, he cast his
eye over the crowd and satisfied him
self that Qarter’p. nurses were all pres
ent. The devotions s were duly con
ducted, and then he‘called the atten
tions of the students, remarking that
he had a mournful task to pel or in :
as president of the University it be
came his duty to announce, the death
of their lellow-student, Mr. Carter.—
After a lingering illness of several
weeks, a portion of which he was on
ly kept alive by-stimidanls, lie had breath
ed his last !’ lie had no. doubt this
announcement would fall sadly on
the ears of those who had so faithful
ly attended to his wants, but he hop
ed they would reflect upon the oft
repeated words, “ Memento Mori I '
that he "would now no longer datain
them, but leave them to their own reflec
tions!
The result of this announcement
was startling. None of the profes
sors, and but few of the students,
had ever heard of Carter. “Who is
he?” was whispered. None knew but
the “kind friends who attended him,”
and they would’nt tell ; and the pres
ident, seemed so deep!// affected they
didn’t like to ask him. —BrookviUe

A Very Sensible Be mark. —A
cotemporary speaking of the late duel
at San Francisco, between Messrs.
Washington and Washburn, says :■—

this disgraceful m<3de of settling differ
ences, to Congressnmi and New York
Aldermen.

it is hoped finally to settle what is the
true dogma of , the Roman Church on
that point. The Universe says that it
is probable that the Bth December of
this year will witness the accomplish
ment of the universal wish and that
Mary will be proclaimed by the infal
lible" voice of the church, immaculate
in her conception. It is known that
the saints of centuries now past and
general opinion expect this definition ;

apostles under your protection?
‘Your apostles! Are they of wood?
No, sire.”
‘Of what are they then?’
‘Of silver, Sire.’
‘Of silver?
‘Of solid silver.’
‘Solid silver!’ replied Napoleon
quickly; yes, 1 shall help them lo ful
fill their mision: it has been ordained
that they should go throughout the
world, and they shall.’
Having said so, the Emperor sent

lady for a kiss:
Pshaw! you're a fool in spite of your pains.
Empty purse, and a great lack of brains.

In Cupid's name! you can’t expect that bliss.
After reading the above, the young

A Prayer Ansayered. —A gentle
man in this county owned a little no
gro boy who was in the habit of very
irequenly playing truant —remaining
out for a Avliole day at a time conceal
ed in the bushes. To break him of the
trick, his owner one day resorted to the
hickory, arid Avas proceeding to the in
fliction of a pretty sound drubbing.—
The little fellow —having always in
dulged in the habit, while at church,
oF sleeping during the greater part of
the service, and rarely hearing more
than the benediction, and perhaps re
garding it as the summon bohum of tlie
forms of worship—stopped his master
after tlie first hickory was worn out.
and inquired if he was going to kill
him. “Yes,” was the repy. “ Well,
master, please let me pray before I die.”
Permission being granted, little Peter
downed on bis knees, turned up his
eye's to heaven, and said, “Let's look
to the Lord, and be dismissed.” This
was more than the owner could stand,
and, of course Peter was at once per
mitted to depart.—- Camden Repulic.
