William Brown—inundation—Theatricals, dt., da. ST. Loma, Jan. 4, 1858. We this day commence our first letter of the New Year, and write 1858. That of 1857 has passed and gone, and although at the time we announced its advent, the country was in a prosperous, healthy condition, and everything gave promise of plenty, prosperity and an expected " good time" generally. The year was such, but the closing ninety days presented a state of affairs in financial circles never before experienced—arising from a system which should atter have attained the hold it did—of long credits too much confidence, and overtrading in every department of business. Confidence was abused ; credit was extended to those who took advantage of it, and men of small means anxious to keep pace with those of wealth, Indulged in this system of trading to their ultimate ruin, and finally in volved not only the men of small moans and extended credit, but those supposed to be too wall fortified ever to succumb to the mortifying and greatly to be deplored nit nation of permitting themselves to go to protest, fail and assign. But such has been the result of the past year, and it is to be hoped a lesson has been taught the business men, which will guide their tuturo transactions, and act as a guard against hazarding the reputation, confidence and credit of the mercantile business community. We again enter this as we did the year just closed, with bright prospects and buoyant hopes. with plenty in store and ford anticipations of a brilliant future, hut let us strive to avoid another general disamter, like that which hae so convulsed the whole country iu the last ninety days of 1857. The holidays are over, and we believe all are glad of it. We had our "Thanksgiving day" no Thursday, but it being in the midst of the season for winding up the old year's business, it was not no generally observed as It oth erwise would have been. The first day of 11i5S broke upon no more like a May day than the Ist of January. It was indeed a lovely day, and one more pleasant au d delightfully mild could not Lave been expected—clear overhead and dry under foot, which brought out a large number. who made their annual " calls." Not feeling too old to participate in this agreeable system— which is almost universally practised in the cities of the West—we in company with Dr. N. It Wolfe, called upon some fifteen or twenty of our lady acquaintances, and found them unusually jovial, pleasant and sociable. The tables wore all well supplied with the delicacies and luxu ries of the season. We can assure you we spent as ery agreeable day sin•ing our feminine adquaintatices. and th e Doctor expressed blinself pleased with the fair daughter. Of the Mound city. We encl. se you one of our risiti ay cards used upon the ticrabin, which you will no doubt at once p renounce "neat, but not gaudy:" and would surmise that the engraver had been NWi .11,1. and super cosrled in his business by Johnson & Co., of Philadelphia. We hope the card will have Its desired effect (,) Thu day passed off without anything iiecurring to mar the enjoyment of our citizens. A great deal of gun-powder was used in welcoming the advent of the new year. We have no improvement to note In business. The weather Is unusually pleasant for the advanced period of the season. The past dos or two has been something colder, and a '• smart sprinkling" of lie is floating in the river. The upper rivers are still open, but very low, and not much produce Is arriving from any quarter.

It is all It umbmt. No such engagement took place, and the proof for thin tha R.'ineldfran has a dispatch firm liatteas as bite as the :aid, four days later, which slates that • All is quiet in the Territory. - Ilad any one the time or disposition to examine the files of the Democrat. we have not the least doubt but that TIICIM , ANTI , have been slain in Kansas in the pact year or two, in ths great" liettVatin the. ‘• free State " and prrnslavery, parties," when the tacte of the rase will not show a half dozen—and the majority of whom roam to their death by being foully murdered. There have not been the one twentieth of the number killed in the ‘ivii.int tsars of Kan sas,' as there have been in this city during the post year —(colder Black Republican administrationl—by the Innifo and slung shot! Wn are therefore compelled to nay that the Democrat's statistics" are very highly endured and greatly exaggerated. The admission of Kansas will settle forever the " up-rising freemen of the North." We say again, admit Kansas, and the country will be quiet. We acknowledge the receipt of the great speech of the Pennsylvania War Horse, - -Senator Bigler—in reply to Judge Douglas. There is but one opinion entertained Inc men of both parties, and that is, ledge Douglas is nesting about for Presidential capital. We think ho will see the error of his way, and before long return lo the party has given him a mime and a fame. Mr. William Brown, brother of the Post Maxtor General, was shot at his residence at Giles county. Miss., about a week since. Ms assassin took two tires at bin). but wo are happy to announce, though badly wounded in the taco and head, that his injuries aro not likely to prove fatal. Andrew Jackson Davis, the Great Seer of the lath Century," is delivering a series of lectures iu this city. Advices from Mobilo report the inundation of the Black Warrior river and the loss of 5000 bales of cotton together with a largo number of cattle. Mr. Murdock is playing an ergageruout at Wood's Thra try, and Mr Stark at the St. Louis. The iinmber of steamboat arrivals at this port for the past year was-3,405, With nu aggregate tcnnago of 953.774. LTho number of arrests in the city for 1857 was 6,042 males, 5032, females 1020 and minors 887. There are now 178 prisoners In our county jail. A PUBLIC EXECUTION IN INDIA A writer in the London Times gives a terrible account of the execution of eighteen mutineers at Ahmedabad, Oct. 20th : " Ten of them mounted to their places on the drop ; a firing party of 12 moved up to within 20 yards of the place where I stood, facing outwards as the guns did, but behind them, further back into the square. The men were placed in front, not more than twelve paces from the muzzles of the muskets. They knelt down, their eyes bandaged and their hands tied. Meanwhile five had been marched to the five fatal guns. They were hound by their arms to the wheels, but their legs were free, and the end man—the only one whom I could entirely see from my place on the flank, leaned his back against the muzzle. I fixed my eyes intently on that man, not 50 - yards away, and in a moment the signal was given. There was a roar, a bank of white smok, and a jet and shower of black fro, ments, sharp • and clear, which leaped and bounded in the air ; this, and a fearful sound from the spectators, as if the reality so far exceeded all previous fancy that it was intol erable : tlken a dead stillness. I walk to the scattered and smoking floor before the guns. 1 came first to an arm, torn off above the elbow, the fist clinched, the bone protruding several inches bare. Then the ground sown with red, trrisly fragments, then a blackhaired head and ' the other arm still held together. Tbils was the loan I had watched. Close by lay the lower ballot' the body of the next, torn quite in two, and long coils of entrails twinned on the ground. Then a long cloth in which one had been dressed rolled open like a floor cloth, and on fire. One man lay in a complete and shattered heap all but the arms, the legs were straddled wide apart, and the smashed body on the middle of th,ent ; the spine exposed; the head lay close by, too. The last body was that of a,native officer, who was the arch fiend of the mutiny. lie wins a short man, with a cruel face. His head had been cut clean off; his face was half upturned, and calm, the eyes shut. I saw no expression of pain on any of them. What had been his body lay on its face, the legs as usual, not shattered, but all the flesh torn like cloth front a sharp angle in the hollow of the back, off and off, till it merged in one mangled heap. I turnhd to the three who had been shut— one had been struck in the heart, and only bowed slowly over cin his face. The others had been pistolled afterwards through the head. All, I think, however, had been badly hit, as all were prostrate when I ran forward to the guns. And only now—there was so much more terrible—did I look up at the ten white figures slowly swinging and revolving over this scene of blood. I hope they i died quickly, but the ropes were very short. ' „ Ser A few days since the Albany (N. Atlas and Argus published an account of tI attempted suicide of Mr; Wm. Hougbkirk, farmer of Schoharie county. The editor hak since been informed that Mr. H. had endorsafl to a considerable amount for different friend, and on the morning of the sad occurrence haid received intelligence that he was held for tls amount of one of the notes, with the prospect of having to meet others. This so depressel him that he resolved to perpetrate the rash act. From his singular manner, and from the fe words that he uttered, his wife becaraif e w apprehensive that he intended to destroy him self, and requested their daughter, a girl of seventeen years, to wat2h her father's move ments. He started fora barn about half a mile from his residence, the girl following him atla short distance, to prevent his observing he. He entered the barn—she came up and entered also, when the horrifying spectacle of har father suspended by the neck, and black the face, met her gaze. She immediately rail to him and tried to raise him up, but finditeg him too heavy, she thrust her hand into his pocket, drew therefrom his knife, and out hiin down. She then laid him on the barn flooi; took the cap from his head and ran to a spring, filled it with water, returned and commenced bathing him with it. After a while he began to breathe. She then left him and calla; assistance. He was taken home, and is no in a fair way of recovery. This is one of the most remarkable instances of female courage and thoughtfulness it has ever been our lot to record. Ij A Husa4Nu CUT TO PIECES BY ISIS W. IFE. 7 The good people of Sussex county, Va., have been startled by one of the most revolting ata cold-blooded murders that has ever been com mitted in that section. It occurred Christmas morning—the victim was a husband, and the perpetrator his own wife. From her confes sion the particulars seem to be briefly these On Christmas morning, Josiah Freeman, the husband of the Woman, threatened to kill he'r; so, after reflection, she thought she would get 'the better of it and kill him. While he was asleep she seized a gun, and fearing the spring. ing of the hammer would arouse him, she opened the pan, and, applying a coal of tire, the powder exploded, the whole charge grat ing his forehead. Ile raised up and remarked that she had done wrong, when she instantly struck him over the head with the gun knock inn him senseless. 'The blow was given with such force that the barrel of the gun was ha ify bent. While in this insensible condition she seized a knife and cut his throat. Still feitririg as she save, that " the wind might blow breath in his body," she took an axe and butchered the body in a shocking manner. She has beieh committed to jail fir trial. RESUMING WORK.-It gives us satisfactiO to announce that a number of the large estatt lishments in the city and vicinity, whose firs were put out by the panic, are about to resume operations immediately. Two or three large iron works have already done so. This is sign of returning prosperity which will che4jr every one. For two or three months the" had workers" of the city have been "hard up" acid they will rejoice that their long rest is over at least. During the' suspension our own city has fortunately not suffered any thing like the business prostration of iither cities.—Piusbuify Vq.

CATHARTIC PILLS internal OPERATE by their powerful influence en the viscera to purify the blood and stimu late it into healthy action. They remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, and, by restoring their irregular action to health, correct, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first causes of disease. An extensive trial of their virtues, by Professors, Physicians, and Patients, has shown cures of dart ceruns 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 th nr use in the complaints which they have been found to cure. Fon CosvrvsNEss.— Take one or two Pills, or such quantity as to gently move the bowels. Cos tivefless is frequently the aggravating cause of and the cure of one complaint is the cure f both. No person can feel well while under a costive habit of body. Hence it should be, as it can be, promptly relieved. Fon DISPEPBIAf 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 ho: rth,rn. bodoburn, and sou/burn of dyspepsia will rapidly disappear. When it has gone, don't forget what cured you. Fora FO,l. STO'NIACH, or Morbid Inaction of th. Harris, which produces general depression of the rtlts and bad health, take from four to eight Pills at first, and smaller doses afterwards, until activity •trourth is restored to the system. FL, a NERVOI'SNRSS, SICK 1111A.DALCH11, N.LI7BPLA, Thri, in the Stomach, Back, or Side, take from four uhf pills on going to bed. If they do not oper ,,, , lifwiently, take more the next day until they do. These complaints will be swept out from the syitcm. Don't wear these and their kindred dis ,,rrier, because your stomach is foul. :10FI - LA, ERYSIPELAS, and all Diseases Ike Skin, take the Pills freely and frequently, to keep the bowels open. The eruptions will gener dlv soon begin to diminish and disappear. Many dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed up by the purging and purifying effect of these Pills, and ;rime 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 iyscein wants cleansing. To PURIFY Tin 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 good in preventing sickness as by the remarkable cures which they are making every LAYER COMPLAINT, JAUNDICE, and all Bilious .4feetions, arise from some derangement—either torpidity, congestion, or obstructions of the Liver. Torpiiiiiy 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 duct 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 diarrhma, 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 bowelp sore to the touch; the whole system irritable, with a tendency to fever, inay turn to bilious fever, bilious colic, bilious diarrhea, dysentery, &c. A medium dose of three ur tutu Pills taken at night, followed by two or three in the morning, and repeated a few days,will remove the cause of all these troubles. It is wicked to suffer. such pains when you can cure them for 25 cents. MITISM, GOUT, acid all lafkunmatory Fe rera, ki-e rapidly cured by the •purifying effects of these Pills upon the blood and the stimulus which they afford to the vital principal of Life. For these and all kindred complaints they should be taken in mild doses, to move the bowels gently, but freely. As a Di a ours PILL, this is both agreeable and MI. Nu Pill can be made inure pleasant to take, ni I certainly none has seen Tirade more effectual to thy purpose fur which a dinner pill is employed.
