A correspondent of the Mississippi Whig has cut from an anonymous pamphlet an account of a dream of Mr. Calhoun, about the time of the stormy sectional agitation which preceded the adoption of the Coin ! promise measures of 1850: Mr. Calhoun, it seems, was drawing up a plan for the dissolution of the Union, when, iate at night, being very much ex hausted, he fell asleep and had the follow ing dream, as related by himself: 4 At a late hour last night, as I was sit ting in my room writing, I was surprised at the very unceremonious entrance of a visitor, who cauic in and took a seat oppos ite me. ' I was more annoyed, as I had given strict orders to the servants that I should on no account be disturbed. ' The manner in which he entered—per fectly .self possessed—taking a seat oppos ite me—without a word, no salutation —no apology—as though my room and all with in belonged to him, excited in me as much surprise as indignation. As I raised my head to i'ook at hint over the top of mv shaded lamp, I discovered he was wrapped in a thin cloak, which completely hiu his features from my view ; and, as I raised my head, he spoke : 4 What are you writing, Senator from South Carolina?' I did not think of his impertinence at first, hut answered him in voluntarily—' lam drawing up a plan for the dissolution of the American Union !' To this the intruder replied in the coldest manner possible: 4 Senator from South Carolina, will you allow me to look at your right hand ?' 4 He arose, and as he did so the cloak fell, and I beheld— GßEAT GOD ! GENTLE MEN ! I BEHELD THE FORM OF GEORGE WASHINGTON ! 4 As though I had no power to resist, I extended my right hand. I felt a strange chill pervade me at his touch—lie grasped it and held it near the light, thus affording me full time to examine every feature of his face, and particularly of his person. It was the face of Washington, and he was dressed in the uniform of the Revolution. After holding my hand for a moment, look ing steadily at me, he said, in a quiet way: 'And with your right hand, Senator from South Carolina, you would sign your name to a paper declaring the Union dissolved ?' 4 Yes,' said I, 4 if a certain contingency arises I will.' Just at this momenta black blotch appeared on the back of my hand; I seem to see it even now ! 'What is that?' cried I in alarm, 4 why is that black spot on my hand!' 4 That,' said he dropping my hand, 4 is the mark by which Benedict Arnold is known in the next world !' 4 lie said no more, but drew from be neath his cloak an object which he placed upon the table, on the very paper on which I had been writing. The object, gentle men, was a skeleton ! 4 There,' said he, with emphasis, 'there are the bones of Isaac Hayne, who was hung by the British in Charleston. He gave his life to es'ablish the Union. And when you sign your name to a declaration of dissolution, you may as well have the bones of Isaac Hayne before you. He was a South Carolinian, and so are you; but no blotch was on his hand.' 4 With these words he left the room. I started from the contact with the dead man's bones and awoke! Overworn by labor I had fallen asleep and been dream ing.' Many other instances might be recited to show that some of the most important events to man that have occurred since or der was brought forth from chaos, and the Almighty rolled the planets from His palm and set the spheres in motion, have been more or less connected with dreams. May not this dream of Calhoun's have a happy influence on the perpetuity of our glorious and happy Union ? 'Sammy, my son, don't stand there scratching your head ; stir your stumps, or vou'll make no progress in life.* 4 Why father, I've heard you say the only way to get along was to soratob a-h.'sd.' THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1860. A Horrible Murder. A Woman Beaten to Death by her Hus band.— Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held by Alderman Dallas on the body of j a white woman, who was beaten to death | on the niglrt previous, at their miserable and cheerless abode, in the rear of No. 1352 Shippen street, south side, below Broad. The place where this murder was committed, is the lower story of a rickety old frame house, not fit even for a cow sta ble or pig pen, to which access is only had by means of a narrow alley extending from Shippen street. We paid a visit to the house where the deed was perpetrated. An ! entrance was affected through aside wiu dow, which had scarcely a whole pane of | glass in it, the d < ' ;ng t' steneu by means of an old broken chair placed against it on the inside. In one corner of the dark apartment was an old bed, on which the naked body of the woman lay, covered with a bloody bed tick. Her face was shocking ly lacerated, her nose broken, her lips cut, her eyes clotted with bloocf, and her hands completely covered with her own gore. A more shocking spectacle we have not seen for some time. From appearance, we should judge that the poor creature must have struggled fearfully in the unnatural and unequal contest with her demon hus band. Alongside the bed was an old table, on which was a loaf of bread saturated with blood, some snow had been driven through the cracks of the window by the severe storm of Tuesday night, a piece of tallow candle, and a dirty tin cup with ice in it, while under the table were two min eral water bottles, one of tbem containing a small quantity of red whiskey, a villain ous compound that ought to be labelled the essence of mania-a potu. An old broken down coal stove, with a worn out pipe, a coup e of chairs with no backs, a pair of dirty grea>y chests, a rusty razor and other useless t.iings of no value on a shelf, made ! up the furniture of the place. .Squalid misery and want loomed up from the dark recess, while on a filthy bed lay the stiff, mangled and appalling evidence of the ; crime of murder, a hideous spectacle re- 1 volting to our feelings of humanity. The brutal husband in order to perpe- I trate the work of death with less fear of detection, turned his oldest child, a girl of I ten years of age, out into the snow storm. Though cold, stormy and dreary, yet she i was p'a.i to escape into it from the fury of the father. A sister, a little blue-eyed girl ! of pleasant features, was permitted to r - main in the place and witness the scene ol" 1 blood. Another child, a boy, too young to talk or comprehend anything, was in the j bed when the mother expired from her blows. About eleven o'clock yesterday morning, the body of the murdered wo- I man was discovered by some of the neigh- i bors, and the attention of officer James MeCullin was called to it. He at once proceeded to the house and arrested the husband, whose name is Christopher Mc- Farland. As the murder was committed 1 when no one was present save the little ; child above alluded to, the witnesses could not give a very clear account of the facts. ' —l'll iladcljihia Daily JVews, I'cb. 2. £"£""An extraordinary case of a girl con cealing her sex for many years, has been brought to light at Peitiers, France. Au gustine, alias Augustus Baudoin, a young person of 17, was known in the town and neighborhood as an active lad, and had been in place in respectable houses as 'odd boy.' This individual was lately tried for robbery, and while in prison, the authori ties conceived some suspicions, and ascer tained her to be a female. On being ask ed what reason she had lor wearing men's clothes, she said she had observed that men got their living easier than women; but she refused to give any information as to her birth and parentage. She was remov ed to the female wards, but her repugnance to appear in woman's attire among her fel low prisoners was so great, that she com mitted suicide by hanging herself on an iron bar with a pocket handkerchief. Width of the Mississippi. —The Missis sippi river, above the mouth of the Mis souri, averages 3600 feet in width. From there to the mouth of the Oh it averages 3200 feet: from the Ohio to the Arkansas about 3000 feet, from the Arkansas to the Red river about 2<oG feet; and from the Red river to the Gulf of Mexico the aver age width is about 2100 leet. Yet with this constant narrowing of the river, the volume of water to be discharged is con stantly increasing. Hence, it is contended, come those hayous which start out of the river and lead away into the swamps, and down in various directions to the Gulf. ®ak,on a person asking another if he believed in the appearance of spirits, he re plied, ' No, but 1 believe in their disap pearance, for I have missed a bottle of gin since last night.' exchange advises husbands to love their wives.

Report of the Superintendent of Com mon Schools. Referring to its statistical tables, we learn that the whole number of schools out ; side of Philadelphia is 11,485 —being an increase of 203 over last year, and of 1 ~298 over 1854. The whole number of teach ers in the same territory is stated as 13,058 an increase of 230 over last year and of 1,091 over 1854. Of these, 8,352 are males, and 4,700 females. The average salary of the latter per month is 817 79, being an increase of 57 cents per month over last year, and of 84 98 per month over • !804. The average salary of the male teachers for the year is 824 30, being an increase of 84 05 cents over 1854. The total number of scholars in attendance is j set down as 634,651 in the State, 575,257 outside of Philadelphia, showing an in i crease of 86, 559 over 1854. The schools have been kept open five months and nine i days, on the average, during the }'car. The average cost of tuition to each schol ar, including fuel and contingencies, was 1 53 cents —the same as last year. 8531,- ! 413 85 was expended for sites, building, renting and repairing school houses—be- j ing an increase of 877,970 32 over last ! year. The average rate of local taxation was a trifle over 5* mills on the dollar, for j school purposes. For building purposes not quite 31 mills on the dollar. The whole sum expended for tuition, fuel, con- : tingencies and building purposes, was 82,579,075 77. Of these 11,485 schools 1,027 have com fortable school houses; in 345 districts on ly a majority are so considered. In 115 districts all the houses are reported to be unfit, 235 make no report; 94 districts complain of a surplus of school houses, and 348 say they have riot enough. The ag gregate value of the school buildings, grounds and furniture is set down at 85,- 000.006 in round numbers. 1 he Superintendent sees great and cheer ing evidences of progress and reform in the present condition of thiicrs contrasted with their condition five y.arsago. lie al so congratulates the pi ;<ic upon having, after much effort, secured one of the first wants of their system of education—a State Normal School, located at Millers ville, Lancaster county. This school has achieved unexpected success under the di rection of Prof. Wickersham. The Super intendent recommends that appropriations be made to State Normal schools, as also to County Institutes, after they shall have been recognized by law. The latter are classed as second only to Normal Schools. Notwithstanding the inequality of results thus far obtained, be declares the 838,840 paid to sixty-four County Superintendents to have been a good investment. In view of the excessive labors imposed upon those officers in the large and sparsely populated counties, he proposes a division of labor— each of such counties to have from one to three assistant Superintendents. TLe fix ing of the salaries of these officers by law is also recommended. He is equally severe upon the practice of keeping the schools open seven and eight hours per day, as upon the forcing system of education. The documeut bears witness to the can dor, earnestness of purpose and fidelity which has marked Mr. liiekok's official ca reer, all of which virtues we believe are generally accorded him throughout the State. — llarrisburg Telegraph. Wheat Straw—lts Value as Fodder. In regard to feeding wheat straw, Mr. Mechi, the celebrated Agriculturist of Eng land, calculates that when fed to cattle it is worth much more per acre than is plowed in for manure. If cut up and mixed with meal or bran of grain, it makes very val uable food for cattle. Mr. Mechi's method of feeding is as follows : ' He feeds each of his own cows, daily, twenty pounds fine cut straw, eight pounds hay, five pounds rape cake, two pounds bean meal, seven-eights pound bran, seven eights malt combs—all of these being pro perly moistened in hot water, the straw re quiring more than the rest —thirty-five pounds mangel turnips. The essential points are warmth and moisture, the cattle being well sheltered and duly cared for. The straw is the most nutricious food; one hundred pounds of it contains seventy-two of muscle, fat and heat-producing substan ces, and are equal to eighteen and a half pounds of oil to every one hundred pounds.' Mineral Oil in Venango. —From the ac counts in our Western Pennslyvania ex changee, it appears to be a fixed fact that the oil produced in Venango and other counties along the Allegheny river, is des tined to become a great and permanent source of we: Ith. In some localities the yield is tremendous This oil, when pro perly purified and refined is worth from ninety cents to one dollar and twenty-five cents per gallon in the market, and, as it is used for a great variety of purposes, the demand is constant and increasing.

At present, searlet fever prevails in our community to a considerable extent, and as it is generally a fatal disease among children, all are more or less concerned about its prev alence and cure. If there is one method of eure better than another, the people ought to know it. It is not enough that the doctor should know all about a disease in which pa rents are so much interested. There is no disease that is easier to cure, nor one in which there has been more malpractice. The term " Scarlatina" is applied to a dis ease ihe general features of which consist in fever, scarlet appearance of the skin and of the mucous membrane of the mouth and fauces, with inflammation of the throat in 1 most cases. Scarlet fever exists in three forms: Simple or mild, attended with slight fever and no danger— Scarlatina anginona, attended with great swelling of the glands of the neck and severe fever, yet with little dan ger—Malignant or putrid sore throat , in which the rash appears but slightly on the surface, the throat rapidly ulcerates, and the fever is of the character of a putrid typhus. This hitherto terrible disease has afflicted our country during the past twenty-five years. It knows no time, nor season, nor place, nor age, nor condition, except that it visits chil dren with more terrible effect than old per sons. The per ccntage of mortality in New York and Philadelphia has been from thirty to ninety seven, varying according to age. When we look at the manner in which Al lopathic, or, the popular physicians of this community treat this disease, we need nit ' wonder that so many cases die. The greatest [ wonder to us is that so many recover. If scarlet fever patients recover, it is not on ac count of the medicine given, but in 6pite of it. i When we look into the history of this disease, wc find that the less medicine there is given the better the chance the patieut has for re covery. Hundreds of simple and easy reme dies have been published to the world for the cure of scarlet lever. Non professional per sons have treated hundreds of cases without losing one. Water Care physicians have i treated thousands of cases without losing a single case. Notwithstanding all tb children in every section of the c- untr ;.e . dying of scarlet lever— r rati:.;. . f the treat- ! merit. Physicians—lab .riag under the falsi ! idea that disease is a something, a:. tity, j like a mad dog in a town, that must be driven i out, or killed—practice bleeding, blistering, , purging; prescribe the same niter, antimony, < calomel, opium, quinine, muriatic acid, belia- i donna and alcohol that have sent millions to ! their graves in infancy and youth. Ilomeo- ! pathic physicians lose a less number of cases j than the "old school," which is owing to the | fact that their remedies are less powerful and j smaller iu quantity. Prof. Dunglison, than ' whom there is no hightr authority, says: ; " The greatest discrepancy has prevailed in ! regard to the management of scarlet feverl and in speaking of the mode of treating it j says: " Taken singly, the cold bath is per- j haps the most effectual remedy that can be j employed in the inflammatory varieties of scarlatina, and induces the same soothing in- i fluence as in other forms of fever. * * * j When the glands of the neck, or the tonsils, I are much tumefied, and there is difficulty of ! breathing in consequence of the exudations ; from the diseased membrane, or the existence j of actual sloughs, as good an application as ! any in these cases is a simple emollient cata- i plasm," or softening poultice. The manner in which children live, at the ; present day, predisposes them to measles, | scarlet fever, &c. Their bodies get obstructed j and their blood inflammatory from bad food, | bad air, &c. Under these circumstances tile ! vital machinery undertakes to throw off ac i cumulated impurities, and this vital effort we ; term scarlet fever, or measles, according to > the manifestation of the vital effort. Now, ! the effect of drug remedies is to change the ; remedial effort—the disease—from the surface . to the centre, and hence the fatality under drug medication. The Water Cure treatment for scarlet fever is as simple and easily under stood as it is effectual. The simple form of the fever requires but little treatment. The patient should be bathed or washed with cool or tepid water, according to the heat. The anginose form, in which the scarlet rash is more general and the fever greater, the wet i sheet pack, pouring head bath, or a general i cold towel bath, is indicated. The malignant ] or putrid sore throat requires more care iu its j treatment. In this form the throat ulcerates, j the salivary glands become enlarged, attended : with an acrimonious discharge from the nose j and ears. This form being of the typhoid i character, requires but little cold water treat- i ment. Tepid ablutions, wet cloths to'thei chest and throat, cold cloths to the head and warm foot baths, are the leading appliances. The method of treatment is altogether owing to the condition of the patient. Some may think that the ground taken is too ultra, but if we would reiterate what Prof. B. F. Barker, I M. P., of the N. I'. xMedical College, (high i authority,) says, we might be considered ultra, i but nevertheless within the bounds of truth : " The drugs which are administered for the cure of scarlet fever, and measles, kill far j more than those diseases do. I have recently given no medicine in their treatment, and have had excellent success." A. T. HAMILTON, M. D. [For the Gazette.] "Our Flag a Sacred Trust.'' Although but little more than three-fourths of a century has rolled away since the Amer ican flag was unfurled to the breeze of heaven, it rivals in glory and splendor those of the most powerful nations. Born in the midst of internal strife, and beset on every hand by a cunning and vindictive enemy, it struggled valiantly through all this mighty opposition, and arose in all the pride and beauty of con scious right to its place among the standards of the earth. And it has maintained the po sition it then assumed with undaunted firm ness and unsullied honor. We challenge the world to produce its equal. Even Rome, once the " mistress of the world," but now " the Niobe of nations," deserves not that for ban- New Series—Vol. XIV, No. 14, ner should be compared with ours. True, the j American eagle like that of Home originated in discord and confusion, and had to contend with almost insurmountable difficulties ; but did it, after having survived the perils of its youth, extend its power and dominion by conquest, and deluge a world in innocent blood? No! my countrymen, no! our banner waves over lauds obtuiued by honorable pur chase, the weak and defenceless look up to it in confidence for protection, and earth's most potent digoitary does it honor. Surely wo have reason to be proud of our ensign. I "Our Sag is a sacred trust," is written in delibly upon every page of our history.— When the storm which had been slowly gath ering upon our political sky first burst forth in all its fury at Lexington, and spread fear and consternation all around, then it was that a patriotic few ran up the glorious cusigu of liberty, and invoking the protection of heav en, periled life, fortune and sacred honor in its defence. The crimsoned fields of the Revolution, the altars upon which our fathers immolated themselves to the goddess of lib erty, rising up before the mind as they do, with all their glorious associations, form a glittering monument which shall stand to commemorate their deeds of daring and "he roic endurance" in that arduous struggle, when they, in answer to the call of heaven and oppressed millions, inarched boldly forth upon the tented field to dispute with an arro gant and despotic king the right to enslave his subjects. And Lexington forms the basis ot this regal structure. Then among the many other glittering gems of which it is constructed, shine forth in all their original lustre Bunker Hill, and Monmouth, and Sar atoga, and all the remaining battle fields, lees conspicuous but not less glorious. And upon every stone are engraven in letters i: gold the names of the countless heroes who periled their all in its defense, and deemed no sacri fice too great when its honor was endangered. There, indeed, we behold the names of mar tyrs to freedom. Warren, whose blood has rendered Banker Hill sacred—Lawrence, who, when the red tide of life was fast ebbing away, a.ol the darkness of death was slowly but surely closing around him, desired that he might be placed in such a position that his eyes <iglit behold us their last earthly vision the Hag of his country, waving triumphantly from the masthead of the vessel upon whose '.uuieU necks he had met the foe— Montgomery, the mere mention of whose name causes a thrill of joy to vibrate thiough every true American heart, and who fell upon Quebec's dreary heights while leading his countrymen on to glory—and hundreds of others, whose names are held sacred, and whose memories are never to be forgotten, are there seen stamped in such indelible charac ters, that when time shall be no more, and all things earthly shall have perished, an endless eternity will be illuminated by the remem brance of their glorious actions. Upon the topmost peak of this pyramid of glory are seen " the stars and stripes," glittering as a precious diadem iu the sunlight of heaven ; and the fact that our banner iloats upon every sea, and is recognized and honored by every nation, and that the smiles of a kind Provi dence are continually beaming down upon it, affords a theme upon which the American orator will ever love to dwell and the historian bestow his brightest page. As we gaze in fond admiration upon its gorgeous folds, our hearts are moved with the liveliest emotions, and we are borne back to the dark days of its infancy, when a dark and almost impenetrable gloom enveloped it, and at times seemed to have buried it forever in the immeasurable depths of oblivion. But ah, glorious thought! kind Heaven had destined that it should ca reer as with meteoric glories through that terrible night, and at last wave iu splendor over its own chosen land—the symbol of earth's most favored people. When we suffer our flag to be insulted with out resenting the injury, we allow a stain to be placed upon our nation, and the moment it ceases to be an object of pride, that moment has our nation fallen, and Americans will be compelled to lament their nationality. Oh, then, let us show ourselves worthy of this "sacred trust." Let not the blood which was offered upon the heights of Bunker Ilill and upon Princeton's snowy plain have been sac rificed in vain. Let not the earnest prayers of our patriot mothers, and the almost super human exertions of our ancestors have been all for naught; but rally around our banner as did our fathers, bear it through the sombre clouds of war without a spot or a stain to tarnish it, and leave it to our posterity as pure and unsullied as it was left to us.
