B*. Loins, Ded 7,1857.
_We hare very strange and singular weather for this
advanced period of the season. It has been very warm for
the past two or three days, and our city has been enveloped
.in a de&se fog—with occasional slight sprinklings of rain,
and a warm eastern wind indicates more of the same sort.
The rivers are in a Mr navigable 'condition, but the boats
aro somewhat dubious about venturing too fir up, from
a fear of being caught by another cold snap. No floating
Ice is to be seen in the Mississippi opposite our dty, and
navigation from this point to New Orleans is unfchterrupted.
The receipts by boats from the upper rivers are quite lib
eral. The quotations of our produce market on Saturday
(sth) were as follows—for Tobacco, lug*, $5 25@$8 95, and
common leaf at $8 80; Hemp $75@)95 ton; Lead $4 70
-100 fts; Flour dull, $4 25@55; Wheat, receipts liberal,
and prices range at 65c to $1 10, according to quality and
ooodltion; Corn ln bags; Oats 37@39c; Barley 45c;
Rye.6sc; Pork $l3 60@514 for mess; Lard 10c; Whiskey
17c; Potatoes 60@60c; Onions 65c; Hides Bc, for'flint, and
4% for salt; Hogs—not much doing—buyers are offering
$4 25 for light and $4 50 for heavy, and $4 75 for lots
averaging 225 lbs and upwards. There have been about
10,000 head cut in this city up to the present time.
There were hut 56 interments In our different cemeteries
daring the put week.
Mr. Brantz Mayer, widely known as a polished writer,

Mr. John Morrison, a young man, engaged in a drug
store in this city, was bit by a dog on the 28th of Octolier,
and as the wonnd (in the hand) was but slight, little at
tention was paid to It. and at no time experienced any
inconvenience ; but on Sunday last he complained of head
ache, and his hand commenced to swell, and certain
symptoms of hydrophobia ensued. He was seized with
most terrible convulsions, which were rendored still worse
upon the sight of water; and he finally died in the most
acute agony. Mr. M. was a young man highly esteemed
by all who know him.
Two little boys, about ton years of age. quarrelled about
a basket of chip*, in the upper part of the city ; the two
lads clinched, one downed the other, and put his kneo
upon his threat, and there bold the victim until life was
extinct. Several men were standing by and enjoying
the sport, without interfering, nnd the mother of the boy
hurried to the spot, and dragged the murderer of her
son from his throat, and conveyed the corpse in'her arms
to her home.
John Sullivan and another man were quarrelling, when
a policeman, named P. V. Bas-ett, came up. Sullivan see
Dig him, made tracks, whereupon the ever valiant, brave
and courageous Bassett, drew a pistol and shot Sullivan iti
the back, felling him to the ground. Bassett was arrested,
and is now undergoing a trial for manslaughter, but he is
a city officer, and will, without doubt, tin acquitted—in a
plea of sel/-de/en> e, or resisting an OFFICER! when the
wretch should ho well thrashed for his pretended bravery.
Sullivan is not expected to recover.

Wo have still more steamboat disasters to announce to

lnvolviiig3l° BS °* life and great destruction of property, we

who have relatives and friends travelling in the South aud
West.
The flno steamer Allegheny left this port on Monday
for New Orleans, aud whou 20 miles below the city struck
a snag, aud tore a considerable hole ini its bottom. As it
happened the boat was near a bar, or great destruction of
life would have been the result. As it was no human lives
were lost, but a grout number of cattle were drowned.—
She had ou boarjl 800 bbls. of flour; 200 lbs beef; 70 bbls.
ale; 300 boxes of soap and a considerable amount of loose
freight. She -was worth about $20,000 and insured for
$15,000 in Pittsburg. She bad just been sold to Captain
Wavne by the heirs of the late Captain Richard Phillipa,
and was one of the fastest boats on the western waters.
After the sinking of the Allegheny, the steamer A. S.
Lacey passed down, running into the star-board afterguard
of the Allegheny, carrying away a considerable portion of
It, aud making sad havoc with the cook house of the Lacy,
and smashed up things hugely. The proba
bly a total loss.
The steamer Low Water, sunk in eight feet water recently
in the Missouri river. We have beard of no lives being
lost. The boat was worth $B,OOO, and we believe unin
sured. No further particulars have been received.
It was reported that Mr. A. Q. Yoohrees, of New Jersey,
was one of the lost on the ill-fated Opelousa; but such is
not the fact. Mr. Yoohrees was in our city a few days ago
and says he was rescued after being afloat on a plank seven
hours.
Mr. Jordan Targeo, one of the scalded of the steamer
Cataract, died on Sunday last. lie was brother-in-law of

running to Maysville, on the Ohio river, bad on board 1300
beatLof bogs, and during tbo trip 250 of them smothered
to death. They were densely crowded, and the result was
as above stated. The smothered hogs sold at from 2},£ to
3c per lb. gross, notting a loss to the owners of at least
$1,200. These carcases will be usod for lard oil!
The boiler in a saw mill exploded, a few days since, at
Weston, Mo , the Rhock of which being sensibly felt over
the city, and we are sorry to add resulted in a los3 of life.
Mr. Perry, the proprietor of the mill, was foud horribly
mangled under part of an engine, and his negro boy was
discovered some fifty yards distant from the mill, with
part of the boiler, and his heart lying on tho ground.
The engineer was t dreadfully scalded, and, died in a few
hours after tho accident Two or three others were badly

There seems to be a geneial disposition by the editors
and politicians of to censure nrd denounce Mayor
Wood ol New York ciiy, and brand him with ail kinds of
. compliments— such as “a want of integrity,” as being “cor
rupt,” ,4 selfish,” <fcc., and are rejoiced at his defeat. We
do not wish to meddle with the politics of that State, and
think many of the compliments thus bestowed, might just
as well been withheld. We know nothing of Mayor Wood,
and care less about knowing, but would advise some of our
Democratic friends in the West to keep their highly colored
compliments for game nearer home—we have some ripe for
such epitaphs. But the best joke of all. is, the Missouri
Democrat, very Black Republican, claims the defeat of
Wood as a Black Republican victory (!) This is decidedly
the best joke of the year 1857, and goes to show the truth
of the old proverb—tliat “ drowning meu catch at straws.”
The Republican party is now so dead, that the sound of
Gabriel’s trump will never reach it. It has disappeared
like Know Nothingiim—in the twinkling of an eye—and
it is astonishing how rapidly the backsliding Domocrats
are coming back to theii , “ first love.” They will never meet
ns upon the field of battle again in the same uniform worn
in the last fight—we know its color —they mustassume the
red eoat.” We think, however, the disguise for the next
“ brush” will bo termed by those soekers of place and
power, that of the “ Union Democracy ” —the name of J?c*
mocracy has so often and bo completely wiped them out,
that they will be compelled as a last resort, to assume the
title themselves. The “ Union Democracy !” That sounds
well, and we reoommend it to the leaders of the woolly
headed faction. “Union Democracy!” A capital Idea-
Wonder ifit will fare the same fate in their hands as. the
jrtai National American Parly " did ?” “National Par:y.”
In oVehthird'of'thß* Btates of’the' Union they recej
scarcely a vote. ‘‘National Party.” Succeeded in! one
State ontof thirty-one! and that by driving legal vq:er*
from the polls. Oh, where is the “Natiotjal-Perty?” Jfow
for the ‘•Union Democracy ."-but remember the fate of your
“Great National Party.” • v ; :., j-
It 1r useless for na to write anything about Kensaa.;| It

Quench the Kansas “bonfire” and Bclak ls

ing out to the last expiring moment of time—placing tjbem
in the same category with that of the condemned criminal.
Their day of retribution is at hand. Their exfatence’jwas

OLD GUARb.
Terrible Scene In a Theatre.
A writer from Europe gives the following
description of the scene at Leghorn, where in
an agony of causeless alarm, 100 men, 0: a
crowd, were trampled to death, and 500 woitjnd
ed: ij
“ The house was crowded—the play, ‘fjtbe
Taking of Sevastopol.’ The first acts wenjk off
well ; battery after battery exploded, and jjthe
thrilling spectacle made the theatre ring with
applause. All eyes were turned to see them
take the Malaknff. At last ‘ twns storrlied.
the soldiers rushed in—then the explosion
amid the wildest cheers. At that momehjt a
spark caught the scenes—they blazed—j-the
audience thought it a -part of the play, hnd
cheered the louder, the scene was so natural.
Alas! it was too perfect. Another mondent
they Baw their mistake—a wild cry of misery
drowned the applause. Higher and higher it
rose, maddening the spectators with fright.
Five minutes more and the fire was extinguish
ed, but' the spectators, like a herd of buffalos,
like a panic-stricken army, like a flock of*
sheep before wolves, like passengers from a
sinking ship, losing all thought hut of pelf
preservation , rushed from their seats. jiThe
shrieks of women, the shrill cry of children,
the hoarse voices of men, all struggling for|life,
presented a scene not describable. Some threw
themselves from the boxes into the pit, killing
themselves and crushing those beneath tnem.
No judgment—no forethought; out of! the
windows—over the lodges—stamping each
other to“death. The sentinels were ordered to
stop the passage with bayonets. They planted,
and those in the front ranks were run through
and through, and the soldiers, with the jrest,
were mutilated with the feet of hundreds'!”

water or climate. It is bold in its effect, beautiful in tone,
surpasses any thing iu the gradations of light and shade,
and may be seen In any light. The public are cautioned
against imitations made on single plates of glass, with the
Slack varnish in immediate contact with the Picture. —

CATHARTIC PILLS
APERATE by their powerful influence os ihf
' > internal viscera to purify the blood and ilfana*
bite it into healthy action. They remove the
obstructions of the stomach, bowels, fiver, and other
organs of the body, and, by restoring their irregular
action to health, correct, wherever they exist, inch
derangements as are the first causes of
An extensive trial of their virtues, by Professors,
Physicians, and Patients, has shown cures of dan*
gerous diseases almost beyond belief, were they not
substantiated by persons of such exalted position
and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Their certificates are published in my American
Almanac,' which the Agents below named are
pleased to furnish free to all inquiring.
Annexed we give Directions for thur use in the
coraplhints which they have been found to cure.
For CosTiVBNEsa. Take one or two Pills, or
such quantity as to gently move the bowels. Cos*
tiveness is frequently the aggravating cause of
Piles, and the cure of one complaint is the cure
of both. Ho person can feel well while under a
costive habit of body. Hence it should be, as it
can be, promptly relieved.
For Dyspepsia, which is sometimes the cause
of Costiveness, and always uncomfortable, take mild
doses from one to four to stimulate the stomach
and liver into healthy action. They will do it, and
the heartburn, bodybum, and soußrum of dyspepsia
will rapidly disappear. When it has gone, don't
forget what cured you.
For a Foul Stomach, or Morbid Inaction of ths
Bowels, which produces general depression of the
spirits and bad health, take from four to eight Pills
at first, and smaller doses afterwards, until activity
and strength is restored to the system.
For Nervousness, Sice Hbadachb, Nausea,
Pain in the Stomach , Back, or Side, take from four
to eight pills on going to bed. If they do not oner*
ate sufficiently, take more the next aay until tney
do. These complaints will be swept out from the
system. Don't wear these and their kindred dis
orders because your stomach is foul.
Fon Scrofula, Erysipelas, and all Diseases
of the Skin, take the Pills freely and frequently, to
keep the bowels open. The eruptions will gener
ally soon begin to diminish and disappear. Many
dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed up by
the purging and purifying effect of these Pills, ana
some disgusting diseases which seemed to saturate
the whole system have completely yielded to their
influence, leaving the sufferer in perfect health
Patients! your duty to society forbids that you
should parade yourself around the world covered
with pimples, blotches, ulcers, sores, and all or any
of the unclean diseases of the skin, because your
rystem wants cleansing.
To Purify thb Blood, they are the best medi
cine ever discovered. They should be taken freely
and frequently, and the impurities which sow the
seeds of incurable diseases will be swept out of the
system like chaff before the wind. By this property
they do as much gefod in preventing sickness as by
the remarkable cures which they are making every
where.
Liver Complaint, Jaundice, and all Biliotts
Affections, arise from some derangement either
torpidity, congestion, or obstructions of the Liver.
Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile and render
it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the
health, and the constitution is frequently under
mined by no other cause. Indigestion is the symp
tom. Obstruction of the duot which empties the
bile into the stomach causes the bile to overflow
into the blood. This produces Jaundice, with a
long and dangerous train of evils. Costiveness, or
alternately costiveness and diarrhcea, prevails.
Feverish symptoms, languor, low spirits, weariness,
restlessness, and melancholy, with sometimes in
ability to sleep, and sometimes great drowsiness;
sometimes there is severe pain in the side; the skin
and the white of the eyes become a greenish yellow;
the stomach acid; the bowels sore to the touch;
the whole system irritable, with a tendency to fever,
which may turn to bilious fever, bilious colic, bilious
diarrhma, dysentery, &c. A medium dose of three
'or four Pills taken at night, followed by two or three
in the morning, and repeated a few days,will remove
the cause of aU these troubles. It is wicked to suffer
such pains when you can cure them for 26 cents.
Rheumatism, Gout, and aU Inflammatory Fe
vers, are rapidly cured by the purifying effects of
these Pills upon tta blood and the stimulus which
they afford to the #tal principal of Life. For these
and aU kindred complaints they should be taken in
mild doses, to move the bowels gently, but freely.
As a Dinner Pill, this is both agreeable and
useful. No Pill can be made more pleasant to take,
and certainly none has oeen made more effectual to
the purpose for which a dinner pill is employed.,
