FrarstsN's PARADE.—The programme of
route for the Firemen's Parade on the

late for insertion this -reek. It win be
found in rout Sattn-duy's Spy. •
ECM
Tr.= 7.47::*.5.::5.t. FOZNDT:T.—We ha-.-e been
requested tc% nar.onnce that a meeting of“the
citi:eas cf Cc:inn:hit Will be held on Tues
day evening next, at the Town Hall, at 7}
o'clock, fur the consideration of the propri
ety of taking steps to obtain a consideration
of the advantages of our town as a site for
the i3roposed National Foundry.
It needs no argument on our part to
prove to our readers that our own borough
can claim its great facilities for the manu
facture of iron, its shipment, and the fur
nishing of all the raw material as any
town in the cnuntry. It has always been
prominently mentioned in connection with
this important project, and our citizens are
fully aware of the numerous reasons that
we can justly urge for the location of the
great Government works at thii point.—
For years the sulLjeet has been agitated in
Congress, and whenever it has been thus
brought before the country Columbia has
been prompt to present her claims for con
sideration. Before the adjournment of the
late Congress, the chairman of the House
Committee on Military Affairs was appoint
ed to esamine, and report upon a favorable
site for the Foundry, and it i. but just that
Columbia should be heard in her own be
half.
We bete make no attempt to advocate our
claims as we address, principally,our towns
men, among whom there is but one opinion
as to our great natural and artificial advan
tages, but call upon our citizens to unite in
action that will express the sense of the in
habitants on the subject, and to take steps
towards a proper represenatation before the
investigating powers. Let the meeting on
Tuesday night be general, when we hope to
hear the importance of the movement ably
set forth.
Tar. INDIANS.—On Thursday evening the
deligation of chiefs of the Minesota Indians,
Sioux, we belive, lately from Washington
passed through Columbia on route fur Lan.
caster. A considerable representation of
the curious of the borough received the rod
men as they alighted from the ears of the
Northern Central Railway, and escorted
them over the way to Black's, crowding
round them open-mouthed duringtheir brief
wait for the renn'a, Railroad Mail Train.
The savages were in full feather and the
finest looking specimen= of their race that
we have ever seen. They were evidently in
their Sunday harness, and very picturNue
their dress and the men appeared. They
bore the curiosity of the crowd stoically
and only seemed worried by the weather,
each warrior wielding a palm-leaf fan, which
he worked vigorously. The effect of this
(in man's hands) peaceful weapon brandied.'
ed by a band of Sioux braves en grande e
re,,llc. was anything but ;rnresing., and we;

A Mcss HILL.—On Tuesday, 15th
inst., Tobias Brown rands complaint before
Justice Welsh against 'William Jones, for;
assault and battery upon the person of de-1
fey:dames grand-daughter, Sarah Jame Bu-
chanan. winiam was arrested by Consta
ble Derrick and the parties had an early
hearing. Sarah swore positively to the as
sault on the part of Jones, but wished it
clearly understood that she "wasn't afeard
of Bill Junes or any olcr nigger, and in n
fa' fight she could give him all ho wanted."
Aunty Jane Stott corroborated the testi
mony of Jane, haring witnessed the fight
front her residence, distant according to her
statement, 60112 , 3 four steps from the place of
combat, but really, as deposed by witness
for defence, at lead a quarter of a mile from
the locality.
On the part of the defence Delmore Ap
pleby, a magnitiro of color, elaborated
I a narrative in which he dwelt t,everely on
Sarah's insulting bearing towards his friend
Jrres and liim.elf and volunteered the ..-
rurance that ?c ceuld whip her, anylvKr, an
assertion v,Liel , Slush rather tauntingly
doubted, upon which Delmore Appleby, Esq.,
squared himself for a demonstration and ad
vised Sal to "shut your moqf, or I'll mash
your face right here!”
Aunty Jane here mixed in. Fut was ex
tinvished by an inquiry from the haughty
Belmore as to whether she indulged in the
luxury of stockings. We are inclined to
believe Aunt Stott's limbs innocent of pro
tection, from the air of confusion with
which she retired her voice from . the
wrangle.
The Jumtice having satisfied himself that
this was a case in which lenity towards
either party would be a great wrong to the
community, pot them on equal footing, Ton
i dered a verdict of guilty against both and
adjudged that the moats choold be diyided
between them

William Jones, friend of Belmore Apple
by, Esq„ was equal to the occasion. Copy
ing the nonchalant air of his witness he
insinuatingly informed the 'Squire that if
he, esquire Welsh, got "dem coats 'fore he
did hisser jest let him know." The Justice
was also up to the mark. Filling up a
commitment for thirty days for breach of
the peace he handed it to ugh Constable
Derrick, who reached for Jones, upon which
that individual saw the matter in an en
tirely different light, giving his watch into
the hands of the °Zees gs security and re
tiring in search of the required sum,
which he speedily produced. Tobias gave
security for his grand daughter's share of
the costs, and retired full of reflections as
to the uncertainty of the law, and, we be
lieve, sorry that he had invoked the aid of
that impartial institution.
A LAGER BEER Doe FIGHT.—On Friday,
18th inst., complaint was made before Jus
tice Welsh, charging one Wilhelm Shedd',
of Germany, with drunken and disorderly
conduct. Deputy George Derrick was sent
in pursuit, and presented himself at the
residence of "Wilhelm, on Tow Etill, where
be was indignantly and threatingly received
by that worthy, who defended his castle and
defied the deputy with Dutch oaths and an
axe. George was too n^tive to fear the
weapon and has lived too long in Columbia
to stand much in awe even of German pro
fanity, so he disarmed the Teuton and
inorehed him to the Blue Front to answer
for his manifold sins, attended by a motley
crowd of his black and dirty-white neigh
bors. The particulars of the charge entered
against Shadell was that he had taken
aboard, on Friday morning, an intoxicating
quantity (we decline fixing the measure) of
lager, and feeling that he must see a fight,
yet conscious of his own unfitness for a
prominet part in the muss, had whistled off
a dog belonging to a Front street Merchant
and led him into a little canine difficulty at
the basin, out of which he, the dog, came
discomfited and sorely wounded.
Wilhelm was unprepared to defend .his
case with testimony, but was voluble in de
nial and vituperative in recrimination, re
lieving himself by the fluent delivery of a
torrent of gurgling, foaming, beery, irate
German, which certainly reached the car of
Justice, liowever little it touched the heart
or convinced the understanding. From the
seemingly inexticable pretzel-twist of his
address to the Court an end was unraveled
and translated, to the effect that he could
prove good character, and the Justice, to
afford him an oportunity to subpecua wit
nesses &c., held him under light bail to ap
pear at 8 o'clock on Monday morning. At
the appointed time Shadell was not forth
coming, having forfeited his recognizances,
and has not since been beard from. It is
believed that he reads the Spy and in it's
"Police Items" had been warned of the in
eviti,lole fate of the drunken and disorderly.
A Ilm.rixo Illonday, 21st
inst., a warrant was asked at the hands of
Esquire Welsh for the arrest of Annie and
Frances Fagan, on the charge of vagrancy.
High Constable Derrick was authorized to
bring them before the justice, and soon ap
peared accompanied by two little girls of
12 and 14 years of age. They stated that
their parents reside in Baltimore and arc of
drunken habits; that they had left home
with the expectation of receiving the pro

COLI'MBIA 11 - n-rErt Cot,tr.% vv.—On Sat ar- :
day last the property of The Columbia
Water Company was offered at public Sale
but not knocked down, 512,400 being the
highest bid received, which was not suffi
cient in the opinion of Assignee, Thos.
Lloyd, r., q ., to warrant a sale. The prop
srt3-, as will bt , seen by the adverth , ernent
in to-day'm ~..,',-,:,, will again be offered on
Saturday, August 7th, when we hope it will
be successfully disposed of. The fimpor
tance of a plentiful supply of pure water
is felt by all our citizens, and we trust that
between now and the day of the Adjourned
Sale arrangements will be made to purchase
the concern.
Dsvrox's EXICIAUSTER.—We hare inspected
this con% cnient and simple machine for ex-1
hausting cans and jars of preserved fruit,
41:c., of air, before permanent sealing. It is
apparently effectual in its result when ap
plied to the can, and so simple in its man
agement that its use must become general.
It is undisputed that the exhaustion and
exclusion, of air from the vessels containing
fresh fruits is indispensable to their preser-
Nation, and the want of means to effect the
former, has resulted in the destruction of
many a house-wife's store of delicacies.—
With Dayton's Exhauster no future trouble
need be experienced. Hiram Wilson is the
s(dc agent for Columbia. He alto manufac
tures the preserving cans to order.
ATLANTIC MONTIILT.—We commend the
July number of the "Atlantic;" it is made
up of capital article•, chief of which is a]-
ways the "Autocrat." Dr Holmes endures
wonderfully, furnishing a brilliantly origi
nal article each month with no percsptibls
deterioration from the first Fourth of
July corruscation with which he dazzled
the readers of the opening number of the
Magazine. He has proved a steady light in
the Monthly, and as his pleasant Breakfast
table chat must have an end, we dread the
time when he shall turn down.the gas.—
Messrs. Phillips, Sampson & deserve
support and encouragement in their contin
ued, well sustained attempt to found a truly
meritorious American periodical. We be
lieve the Atlantic now stands on a solid
base and cannot Le shaken
ARTHUR'S nOltE MACAZINE.—We have
received this excellent family Magazine for
July. It abounds in novelties, chief among
which we must notice the striking new pic
torial cover. The design is magnificent but
too elaborate for minute description. In
fact we dent claim to understand the full
signifieence of about two thirds of it, but
anent a youth and a maiden who adorn re
spectively the right_ and left of the com
position we cannot be mistaken:—they rep
resent those unfortunate lovers, celebrated
in song, Lord Lovel and his Lady Nancy
cy-cy, for, right up the cover,
"Out of her breast grows a red, red nose,
And out of Wu.= a briar-iar-tar,"
uniting in a true-lover's knot somewhere
about the height of the church spire, as near
as we ccn judge in the absence of that ac
cessary. To be sure, the artist has sprouted
his shrubbery from the backs of the unfor
tunates, but why not artistic as well as po
etic license?
The effect of the whole is remarkable,
and we accord it our undivided admiration.
We must protest, however, against the Edi
tor's injustice, in awarding the credit of the
design to Mr. Baxter, the engraver, thus de
tracting from the fame of the real artist,
Mr. Stevens, the eminent designer, who ev
idently threw himself on that cover. Bax
ter is a worthy man, and his "Saint's Rest"
and "Call to the Unconverted" are merito
rious productions, but we claim this work
of art for Mr. Stevens, who is a promising
young man and deserves encouragement.
11°n m:tom Wortos.—We again call the
attention of our readers to this best of mon
thlies, not so much to notice the particular
number—for July—just received, as to
urge upon them the . support of a really
good, entertaining and instructive periodical
—one which is unimpeachable in its charac
ter, and first class in its merits. Conducted
by Cons. Dickens, with a corps of regular
literary workmen and contributors perhaps
unequalled, it deservedly commands an im
mense popularity, which we would gladly
see increase.
The prospectus of the Magazine will be
found in our advertising colums, and we in
vite attention to the very reasonable terms
on which it is offered to the public.
TIARPER'S 111Aaszmn.—The number for
July contains an illustrated historical sketch
of the Life of Marion, A Journey through
the Land of the Aztecs, and Carraccas, also
illustrated, with a number of entertaining
tales and ably written papers, and the
monthly instalment of Thackeray's great
novel, The Yriginians. The Editor's "Easy
Chair" and "Drawor," with a couple of
pages of not too funny or witty illustrations,
pricking The gif book swindlers, complete
the number. The quality of Harper's mon
thly literary "spread" is too well known• to
require m•)re than the assurance from 114 to
our readers that the repast fur July will be
found as appetizing as usual.
TUE BOUQUET.—We are indebted to the
Publishers, Murray. Young & Co., Lancas
ter, fur a volume of Poems, under the above
title, by James -Scott Brown. The book
contains a number of poems, the principal
of which, and one upon which the reputa
tion of the author will principally rest, is
the Bouquet. There is undoubted merit in
this production, and some of dm minor
pieces di , play ease and taste in versifica
tion. The publ:shers deserve credit for the
neat styl. in which the book is issued.

VANITY KILLED llEß.—ft New York pa
per says that a young girl residing in that
city took a small dose of arsenic to improve
her complexion, in order that she might
look attractive at a ball. Instead of a ball
dress next night, however, she Was arrayed
in a shroud. The same may be said of a
great many dupes who take mineral poison
for medicine to regain lost health. They
never live to discover their error. Let those
who wish to secure a natural complexion—
the rosoate hue nt nature—use Lindsey's
Blood Searcher. The great source of all
eruptive diliesses, as well as two thirds of
all the other ailments people are subject to,
arises from an impure state of the blood.—
Drive oat these impurities by a liberal use
of the Blood SearCber, and health will be
restored and the complexion beautified.—
Thousands have tried it, and thousands will
bear testimony toits wonderful virtues.

PENNA. RAILUOAD:—The Pennsylvania
Railroad is doing a very good business, and
the receipts fo the month of May 1858, show
a nett increase of $78,802 over those of May
1857. The net earnings of the railroad
alone, from all sources, for the month of
May were $218,G98, being nn increase over
the profits of last year in the same month,
of $78,802,64. The net earnings from the
Ist of Jrnuary to the Ist of June show an
increase over last of $157,015,52. The Canal
department of the Company, is also doing
very well, but as the canal did not belong to
the Company a year ago, we have no means
of making a comparison. The net earnings
from August let to the let of the present
month are $20,112,02. The expenses on
the Canal last month wore very heavy.

Letters on Consumption
SER/TS CONTINUED BY DR. Tr°LET
LETTER XII
2'o the Editor of the Missouri Democrat:
Latent Consumption is characterized by
an absence of cough, expectoration, pain and
spitting of blood, although the lungs be
loaded with tubercles. These symptoms, in
not a few cases, are absent even till death
results; but in the majority, after a long
period of failing health, spitting of blood,
cough or pain set in suddenly, and the dis
ease' runs a rapid course. The tubercles
existing in the lungs often work out their ill
influences bysecondary changes in the blood,
and other diseases are setup, which destroy
the patient. and from the absence of the
prominent symptoms, thephysician and pa
lent are both led astray, and attention is
directed towards removingthe diseases which
are the effects instead of attackingthe cause.
Or if the physician know the cause he con
ceals it, for the patient's sake, because he
knows no remedy. In such cases, the pa
tient goes about with loss alacity than in
health, busineis is an exertion,hecomplains,
of various dyspeptic symptoms, heartburn,
pain in th e stomach, water-bra-sh, u neasi n ess
during digestion, pains in liver or right
shoulder, costiveness alternating with diar
rhoea, disturbed rest, and emanciation more
or less. The urine will even present the
chemical microscopic changes observed in
functional or organic affections of the stom
ach and liver. Fistula in ano occurs almost
exclusively in such eases, and appears to
keep the tuberculous disease in check, as
does also chronic inflammation of the per
itoneum, (investing membrane of the intest
ines) which often masks latent Consump
tion, and is the most frequent in females,
while fistula is commoner to men. Besides
these, various othersymptoms are complain
ed of, indicating a diseased state of the body,
and often puzzle the medical attendant.
The observant physician will generally
see marks in the countenance of the patient,
that will make him suspect the existence of
tubercles, such as the delicate appearance,
the pearly hue of the white of the eye, vary
ing in tint from yellowish white in the fair,
to deep bluish gray in the dark complexion
ed, and a very slight spasmodic twitch of
the corners of the mouth and nose in speak
ing, which increases to a shiver over the
cheek as the deposit in the lungs augments.
On examining the chest, depression will
be found above or below the collar bones,
or both. When the deposit is great, these
bones stick out, so to speak. On tapping in
the immediate neighborhood of the collar
bones sounds aro produced, establishing
that tubercles exist in various stages of de
velopement; nay. even cavities, although
there has been no cough. These cases are
generally pronounced bilious or dyspeptic,
or anything but what they really are, and
the treatment of course cannot be appro
priate. I would particularly impress the
fact that active purging, and the use of mur
curial preparations, are P eculiarly apt to
rouse the tubercles into activity, and to de
velop rapid consumption. At present the
orthodox practice for bilious and dyspeptic
complaints is calomel or blue pill, which
aro rank poisons in the form of disense un
der consideration. The obvious practical
inference is, that in all cases at all resemb
ling what I have described, it is absolutely
necessary to have the chest examined by a
competent physician, before undergoing
treatment, and if tubercles are present, in
halation p-e• ems the only known means for
their removal.
—The subject of the treatment of con
sumption has, until recently, been involved
in Cimmerian darkness, the most opposite
modes being pursued by men of equally
eminent intellects and acquirements. But
there were two points upon which they all
agreed, and these were that the patient
must die, and that opium was the railway
that was to glide him eaqily but swiftly to
his grave.
But a new era has dawned upon the world,
and consumption is no longer the hopeless
malady it has hitherto been regarded. The
improved method divides itself into three
divisions, the local treatment, the constitu
tional treatment, and the hygeinic treat
ment. The two latter departments are be
ginning, I say only beginning, to be appre
ciated by the general run of practitioners,
and the first is, I may say, entirely ignored,
except by a very few, who aro laboring to
attain for it its true position in the science
of medicine. The local treatment consists
in causing the patient to breathe into his
lungs vapors charged with medicinal sub
stances possessed of healing properties
suited to the stage of the case, and coming
thus directly in contact with the diseased
surface, they exert their curative effects as
surely as if theywereactingon a sore on the
surface of the body. Remedios received
into the stomach are apt to be decomposed,
or if taken into the blood are so diluted or
even altered, that on reaching the lungs,
they are powerless to exert any beneficial
result. The statistics of the city of New
York show a very marked decrease in the
deaths by consumption since the extensive
introduction there of inhalation by Drs.
Bunter and Melville. The very reasonable.
ness of the plan commends itself to every
reflecting mind, and when it is backed by
the testimony of such men of eminence as
are cited in the early letters of the series,
we have all that is necessary to prove irres
istibly that treatment of consumption by
inhalation is the only one that can be suc
cessful.
In my next letter I shall explain the
philosophy of inhalation more at large, to
be followed by an exposition of the general
and bygeinic treatments.
