TIE Favara of 3m.r."—This day passed
off very quietly in our town, though with
abundant evidence that all felt the presence
of the anniversary of the great and mentor
able day of our country. - It was ushered in,
as usual, by the "ringing of hells," and the
burning of powder in every form. Many
buildings were profusely and tastefully deco
rated with our national flag; and business
was generally suspended. The Sunday
Schools connected with some of our churches,
repaired to the woods, where we learn they
had a happy and pleasant time. Upon the
whole, the day was observed in a manner,
as we consider, highly appropriate and be
coming—with little noise and confusion.—
The feeling of all appeared to be, with the el
der Adams, "Independence now and for-
ever."
ItErWe observe that some of our citizens
arc removing the old pebble gutters in front'
of their houses, and layittg, down brick ones
in their place. This is as it should be;
proper attention shown to the means of
keeping our tatvn cleanly. In passing along
our streets, there are some places where
sneh an unpleasant smell arises as to render
walking that way positively disagreeable.
It is always difficult to keep the pebble gut
ters clean, while the, contrary is the case
with the brick. Now is the tinte to attend
to thoroughly cleansing every street, alley,
drain, gutter, or whatever it may be iu our
town, that will promote and continue the
general good health of the place. Let those
interested see that it is properly looked to•
CECILIA.-A 9 will be seen on reference to
our advertising columns, the Fourth Grand
Concert of the Cecilia Society, will be given
on Tuesday evening next, 15th instant.
From the preparations they have made, a
rich musical treat may be anticipated. At
their concerts heretofore, large and appre
ciating audiences have attended, who fre
quently manifested their gratification. It
is pleasing to know that native musical tal
ent is appreciated„ and we hope the Society
will have abundant evidence of this on Tues
day evening next.
SLACK.--THE CoNFIDENCE MAlS".—This in
dividual, well known to many persons in
this county, has been figuring in its lower end
lately. The following letter in reference to
him, was written by our old townsman, ad
dressed to the editor of the Inland Daily:
Pll ILADEI.I.III = A, July 8. 1856..
EDiron:--Dear Sit:--1 noticed in
your paper of this date an inquiry relative
to a person by the name of Slack, who is so
liciting contributions for the establishment
of a school or academy in Virginia. I was
called on some four years ago by a person,

object, and talked out of five dollars for his
benefit. He is an old gentlemen, of large
size, and evidently of highly finished edu

subscriptions, and among the names many
of the most distinguished of our statesmen,

were the names of John Quincy Adams,
Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, &c. - 1 wits
Won residing in Columbia, in your county,
and since that nine r nave seen and beard
of him pursuing the same object in Harris
burg, Philadelphia, &e. His avowed object
was the establishment of a female school or
seminary u of high grade, somewhere in Vir

the means of levying a livelihood off the com
munity, and ministering to his appetite for
rum. Ile represents himself as having been
the early preceptor of Frank Pierce!
Yours truly, JAMES COWDEN. -
THAT Fix.—Who is there that cannot ap

among those daily endeavoring to put
"ideas" on paper:

can furnish-and with these agents in full view,
we shall have the exquisite, pleasure of see

and complete annihilation. But the little
scamp is motionless. The last blow did the
work—that fly has gone to the "happy hunt

hatchet if those who remain only will take
counsel by his fate. There's nothing. like,

A BRUTAL MURDER.—In Philadelphia, on
the 4th instant, a young man named Sam
uel Manigan, was murdered under the fol
lowing circumstacest—About eleven o'clock
on Friday night, Manigan saw a respectable
female of his acquaintance going to make a
purchase at a store in tho vicinity of Eighth
and Locust streets. The female was ac
companied by a colored woman, who went
with her for the purpose of protecting her,
Young Manigan joined his acquaintance,
and as they were going into the store in
question, a rowdy on the sidewalk made use
of some filthy and insulting expression to
the party. As the latter came out of the
store again, the bully was still standing
outside, when the deceased remonstrated
with him for using such vile language to a
respectable female. Upon this the fellow
attacked Manigan, inflicting three severe
wounds th a knife upon the lower part of
his body. The wounded man was taken to
the Hospital, and the perpetrator of the
crime fled. The deceased was about 21
years of age. After be was taken to the
hospital the young lady, to whom he was
engaged, was unremitting in herattentions.
On Monday morning Manigan sent for a
mm inter of the Methodist Church, and the
teverend gentleman arrived at the institu
tion about half an hour before the young
loan died. His betrothed was present, and
the poor fellow, with a perfect knowledge
that he was dying, asked the minister to
marry him to g ate object of his affections.
The ministellglad some conversation with
the attending physician, and it was soon too
late to comply with the last request of the
murdered youth. The poor victim died at
half-past twelve o'clock. A man named
Maloney has been fully identified as the
murderer, and committed to prison.
CIWPS.—The Wheat harvest in 'Mis
souri is rapidly progressing and will be
uuu•h larger than for many years, the yield
being greater and a greater surface planted.
Oats, hemp and other crops are looking
well. The cutting of the wheat has com
menced in St. Clair county, Illinois; the
crop is an average one, but the grain is
much finer than of late years. Excellent
new wheat has been sold at Nashville, Tenn.,
at 75 ets. per bushel.
PIA WILT(' %LOUT R AGE. -At Brighton, Mass.,
on the 10th instant, a keg of gunpowder was
placed in the kitchen Of the house of Thom
as Withesett, butcher, and set on fire. The
explosion nearly demolished the latter part
of the house, setting it on lire, and breaking
the furniture in the parlor into fragments.
The houses adjoining were shaken as if by
an earthquake. Twelve persons sleeping
in the upper part of the house escaped inju
ry. No trace of the perpetrators could be
found.
SAVED Br Hoorn.--A young lady of
Charlestown, Massachusetts, while crossing
Marren bridge onelisursday evening, fell
through the draw consequence of too
much haste, and would have been drowned
but for the efficacy of hoop skirts in prevent•
her from sinking while a boat was coining
to her assistance.
THE BROOKS AND SUMNER CASE.
The National hitelligence2 expresses the
annexed sentitnents in relation follie
terminatie4 of the enso between Mr.
Brooks of theionse of' RePresentatives and
Senator Sumner, in which we most heartily
agiec. It doods not appear to us, nor do we
think it will eleatually be so regarded by
sound public sentiment, that a mere pecu
niary fine was:tbe punishment that should
have properlyiyindicated the violated law or
conveyed the reprobation due to an assault
of so grave and peculiar a character. The
intelligences
The place, the violence, and the peculiar
circumstances of this assault, together with
the high official, position of the parties con
cerned, created, as our ;readers know, an
extreme of excitement, and condemnation in
one section oil the Union unexampled, as
well as of deep regret in the other—a regret
unaffected by tlte strong feeling entertained
,
in regard to th exasperating-nature of the
provocation. . lowever decided our own
feelings may h e been in the political and
personal bearin s of the case, we could not,
with our fixed Intentions of propriety and
our habitual r verence for the sanctity of
the place which astlie scene of the violence,
fail to partake 4eply of the sentiment com
mon to this wit e community. Yet, unwil
ling to add even the weight of our humble
opinion to the it anted state of the public
mind, we conic al ourselves with the sim
ple expression o our profound regret at so
painful an oc rrence, and thenceforth
maintained aet led silence in regard to it.
But the ministe of the law having now spo
ken, sentence ben pronounced, and the case
remitted to the blic judgment, wo think
it due to oursels s and our readers that we
should express, i
. 1 1 .,
th less restraint than we
imposed on ours ves in the first tempest of
the excitement, ur opinion of the transac
tion. And, ton ling the judgment of the
Court, we are h tul to say that it has cer
tainly fallen sho of the public anticipation
—not the autici tion, still less the wish, of
partisans or zelts, but of the calm and
judicious—men toritie capable of respect
ing the wound ' sensibilities of a high-spir
ited gentleman, ' t less than public decorum
and the dignity td immunity of the Sena
tor and the Sen: e'lltinse.

GREAT COUNERCIAL CHANGE.—TiIe Cin
cinnati Railroad Record predicts that Balti
c more and Philadelphia are again to become
the great eastern outlets of the western
trade, as they wete previous to the year 1820,
before the completion of the Erie canal, and
its connection with the Ohio canals, which
diverted that trade to New York. This rev
olution, it declares, is to be effected by the
recent extension of our eastern railroads to
the Mississippi, so that western produce
may now pass over the Pennsylvania Cen
tral and the Baltimore and Ohio railroads,
direct to the nearest Atlantic ports, Phila
delphia and Baltimore. It cites, in support
of its opinion, the fact of the shipment of
great quantities of
‘ lard, bacon, and other
similar produce, from the West, by way of
Wheeling and Pittsburg. as soon as the rail
road connection to the Mississippi was made;
the additional fact, that, in 1855, the ship
ment of western produce by the Erie canal
did not increase; and the present obvious
decrease in such shipment, caused, not by
the loss of the lake trade to that canal, but
of the trade of the Ohio valley, which now
finds its way to Philadelphia and Baltimore.
NOBLE SPIRITS.—We love noble men—
pull them this way, and the other, and they
only bend but never break. Trip them
down and in a thrice they are on their feet
again. Bury them in the mud, and In an
hour they will be out and bright. You can
not keep them down—you cannot destroy
them—they are the salt of the earth. Who
but they start any noble projects? They
build our cities, whiten the ocean with their
sails, and blacken the heavens with the smoke
of their locomotives. Look at them young
! men, and catch the spark of their energy,
and when you feel the blood run warm in
your hearts at the thought of some noble
purpose, do not let its flow be checked,
even though the world be ever so censorious
or misjudging, and though you have seen
many a brave heart lacerated at the world's
heartlessness, falter not, but press on—try
the steep pass; up, up to its rugged summit,
and you will attain its highest station.
TuE SEA SEEPENT.-If, says the New York
Mirror, we are to believe thereports, the
great sea serpent was seen at Greenpoint, on
Monday morning, about 3 o'clock. As this
is not a fashionable watering place, there is
no interested motive for the statement, and
we may, therefore, place some reliance upon
it. It was seen first above Collier's ship
yard; appeared to be about three feet in cir
cumference, and about 150 feet in length.
The monster was disturbed by a watch dog,
and after lashing the water furiously with
his tail, suddenly vanished. The officers
were so alarmed that they dare not approach
near the supposed serpent. A short time
after, this the officer saw some females bath
ing at the same place, and warned them of
the danger.
COSTLY BIRD.—Rev. John E. Edwards,
of Richmond, now in Geneva, Switzerland,
visited a jeweler in that city, and says:—"He
set out on the counter a box, mounted with
massive gold, on the top of which there was
- •' .-„ ..i.pparentt s • pm.
bursting into bloom. He touched a little
spring, and suddenly the flower expanded
into full bloom, and right in the heart of it,
there sprang up a sweet little bird, of golden
plumage, which began to flutter its tiny
wings, and sing, as I have thought nothing
but a real bird, of flesh and bones could do;
so cheerful; so bird-like; opening its little
beak at every note, and really singing a
bird song, such as is sometimes heard
in the dewy copse at early morn. The
price of this box was one Thousand dollars.
A "REPUBLICAN DELEGATE" ADVISED TO
LEAVE VI RG INI A.-IVe mentioned on Satur
day that the citizens of Farquier county,
Va., held a meeting an the 26th inst., at
Piedmont station, to express their indigna
tion at the alleged conduct of Mr. J. C. Un
derwood, in pretending to represent Vir
ginia in the Republican Convention at Phila
delphia. The meeting, it appears, adopted
resolutions discarding all sectionl parties;
adhering to the Constitution and the Union
as it is, and denouncing as a libel any at
tempt to make an impression that free-soil
or abolition doctrines are gaining a foothold
in Virg' 'a. A committee was appointed
to convoy the sentiments of the meeting to
Mr. Underwood, and to inform him that
"they deem it just and advisable that he
should leave the State as speedily as be can
find it in his power to do so."
THE FEATIIER THAT BREAKS TUE LOADED
CAMEL'S BACK.—One of the examiners of the
Statistical Society of London came to a house
in Marylebone in which there was one re
markable room. It was occupied, not by
one family, but by five. A separate family
ate, drank and slept in each of the four cor
ners of this room; a fifth occupied itreentre.
"How can you exist?". said the visitor to a
poor woman whom ho found in the room
(the other inmates being absent on theirsev
eral avocotions)—"how can you possibly ex
ist?" "Oh, indeed, your honor," she replied,
"we did very well until the gentleman
in the middle took in a lodger."—Dr. Song/-

Ser•A document published in Spanish,
gives some curious circumstances respecting
the production of gold in Mexico from 1690
up to the present time. It offers the fol
lowing details:
"In 1690 there was struck at the mint of
Mexico, coin of the value of five millions
piastres; from 1700 to 1800,:during a cen
tury, the quantity augmented each year, and
at last reached twenty-five millions of pias
tres. This was, however, the culminating
point of the annual fabrication. In 1810 it
was reduced to seventeen millions; in 1817
it had declined to only half a million; then
rose in 1838 to a million and a half; in 1850
to two millions; in 1852, to two millions and
a half; and in 1854 to nearly four millions,
or one million less than in 1690.
AMERICAN AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETr.-
At the July meeting of the Board of Mana
gers of this Society, it was shown that the
Board had disbursed over $6500 the past
month. The receipts of the Society are
gradually increasing, yet there still remains
overdrawn about $5OO. In consequence, but

Bibles, 907 persons induced to attend church,
502 children brought into Sunday Schools,
311 sermons preached, 312 prayer meetings
held, 190 visits to vessels and for seaman
made, 31 persons hopefully converted, and
42 baptized. The Missionary Union having
abandoned the Greek mission, this Society
has determined to continue a colporteur
there, with a liew to ascertaining further
developments.
YELLOW FEVER AT 'HAVANA AND MATANZAS.
—The ship Lady Franklin, from Matanzas
for Trieste, spoken at sea some days since, by
the steamer Black Warrior, arrived at New
York with nearly the whole crew disabled
by yellow fever. Matanzas is usually a
very healthy port, and the captain of the
Lady Franklin reports that no fever prevail
ed there, until recently, and not until seve
ral vessels had arrived there from Havana,
having yellow fever on board. From Ha
vana vessels the fever first spread among the
shipping at Matanzas, and then into the
town. The officers and crew of the Lady
Franklin who were alive on theii arrival,
were sent to the Marino Hospital, at Quaran
tine, and the vessel Was sent by the health
officer far down the bay for a safe anchor-
Moan CAMELS FOR TEX:U.—The United
States storeship Surprise, now at the Brook
lyn Navy Yard, is to be sent in a few weeks,
for a reinforcement to the stock of camels
brought in by her on her last trip, and land
ed in Texas for the United States Govern
ment uses. It has been found that the ex
periment succeeds admirably, and that for
the transfer of the United States stores
across the plazas of Texas, the camel is per
fectly fitted, and withstands the soil and cli
mate of the country without any difficulty.
Thus far only thirty-five have been brought.
it is intended in the next trip to bring fifty.
MORMON EUIGRATION.—The emigration of
the inhabitants of kreStol.,Xtngtand„uader
the auspices -or tho Piurrilonites, id most ex
tensive. It is not unusual for husbands to
return home at•night; and find wife, daugli. ,
ter and children fled, the house stripped,
and a pretty long list of debts, incurred on
the eve of departure, left unpaid. Trades
men, too, in seeking after debtors, are aston
ished to find those who promised to pay, off
to the "land of promise."
THE ICARIANS IN TROUHLE.—The French
Icarians at Nauvoo, 111., have become di
vided against themselves, a strong minority
being opposed to the administration of M.
Cabot, the President. They complain that
for some months back there has been a sys
tematic oppression of the minority, that the
constitution and laws arc violated, that the
freedom of speech has been suppressed, and
a general disregard of their interests, opin
ions and wishes manifested."
A FATAL DUEL.—A duel between a stu
dent. and a lieutenant of artillery took place
a few days ago, in L/10 wood iif Npaphon
burg, near Munich, and the former was shot
through the heart. The lieutenant, his sec
onds, and those of his adversary, immedi
ately gave themselves up to the police; hut,
after a while, they were released on giving
an undertaking to present themselves to
take their trial when called on.

THE BLACK SOLDIER AT THE
PALACE.
A few days ago, Marshal Bosquet made
his appearance at the palace of St. Cloud
with two men, for whom he claimed the
honor of a presentation to the Emperor.—
One was a tall, thin African soldier, an Al
gerian subject of France, singularly hurt
during the siege of Sebastopol. A bomb
fell in the trenches where this man was at
work, and where if it had exploded, many
men must -have been killed or wonnded.—
The man rushed to the bomb, seized it, and
had already raised it high above his head to
throw it out of the trench, when it exploded
and carried away both of his arms, without
doing him any other serious injury.
The other man was a soldier of the line,
a little Breton, who, like the jackal and the
lion, had attached himself to the tall Afri
can by pure affection, and served him as a
servant of all work. Ilis life bad been
saved by the African in raising the bomb,
and by a sudden inspiration he declared that
his life should be devoted to him who had
saved it. Thus he dresses and undresses
him, feeds, shaves and oombs him, and in
short, serves him as a pair of hands.
The object of the visit was to obtain the
discharge of the little Breton from the ser
vice, in order that he might accompany to
his home in Africa the wounded soldier.—
They were presented first to the Emperor,
who subsequently conducted them to the
Empress, and both their Majesties exhibited
much interest in the strange couple. Of
course the request of Marshal Bosquet was
granted, and the soldiers left the palace
much richer than they entered it.
Holloway's l'ills.—Astonishing cure of a
Bilious Complaint. Mr. Patrick McKen
nan, of Columbus, Ohio suffered for upwards
of three years from violent pains in the head,
a foul stomach, disordered liver, and general
nervous debility, he tried carious remedies
for the mitigation of this compound disorder
but ho only became worse instead of better,
although he also consulted several doctors.
Finding that the medical faculty could not
cure him he had recourse to Holloway's
Pills, by continuing with this remedy fir a
few weeks he entirely regained his health
and ever since then he has not had the slight
est return of his complaint.
KY - The month of Jelly derives its name
from the Latin word "Julius/1, which was
first given it liy Mark Antony; in' - honor of
Julius Cseser, who was bortiZtherein. It
was previously called Quintilna; being the
fifth month, according to the old Roman
Calendar. Notwithstanding the oppressive
heat during this month, there are abundant
objects which, will excite our pleasure in
our walks through the varienited fields of
nature, whether itbe over the meadow of
newly mown hay, the field of ripening corn,
as
-it glistens in the light of a noonday sun,
or the uplands and lofty. hills where ,the
heat sheds a purple tint over the swelling
undulations. The furze and the broom still
wave their beautiful yellow blossoms,- and
the whortleberry modestly hangs lierienth
its olive green leaves or in the shady - Wood,
remote from the intense rays of the sun.
The fruits of the garden are now fully ripe,
the fillies of many kinds are in their iiplen
dor, and other flowers which are pleasing to
the eye and grateful to the senses.
