el)e.,Coigli 'Register. tirenlatiOn near 2000. Allentown, Pa. THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1860, V. B. PALMER, Esq., N. W. corner of Third, and Chesnut streets, Philadelphia, and 169 Nas sau street, (Tribune Buildings,) New York, is Our authorized Agent for receiving advertise. ments and subscriptions to the Leltigh . ??egister and collecting and receipting for the same 1 The August Interest The following well merited tribute we find in the P/filadelphia Daily Sun of the 2nd iu• slant:— "The August interest on our Slate debt has been promptly paid by the State Treasurer, John M. Bickel. Gen. Bickel has, in his prep arations for the payment ; rendered a surn avail able which has heretofore been considered al most worthless. Among the assets of the Com monwealth have heretofore been reported 50,- 000 dollars due from the United States Bank. By his negotiations, Gen. Bickel has obtained 25,000 dollars of this amount and applied it to the . wants of the State, for which lie is entitled to much credit. The various counties have fur nished their quota of the State tax with com mendable promptness. Dr. C. H. Martin, the efficient Treasurer of Lehigh county, after ob taining his portion, and having no bank in the county in which to deposit it, brought it to this city, in such funds as ii had been collected, and arrived in time to contribute it to the general fund., When so much exertion is made by our officers, we need have no fear of Pennsylvania failing to pay her interest." The Abolitionists and Mr. Clay. The. speech recently delivered by Mr. Clay in the Senate of the United States, in defence of the Compromise bill, has been extensively circulated, and wherever it has been read, it has been pronounced one of his greatest efforts ; equal to any he ever made, and abounding with the purest, most exalted and most disin= terested patriotism. Men of all parties freely acknowledge this, with the exception of a few Northern abolitionists, who, although they can not confute Mr. Clay's masterly arguments, en deavor to throw ridicule upon them, but with very poor success. The Atlas, at Albany, acts in this way, but we apprehend that all the et; forts of that sheet, backed as it may, by the whole abolition force of the State of New York, cannot shako popular confidence in Mr. Clay, or detract from his merit as a patriot who dared to stand up and defend the constitution from the attacks of its enemies, and the Union from the assaults of those who would destroy it.— WWI° Mr. Clay occupies the proudest position that could be allotted to him, he need not care about the puny attacks which the abolitionists may make on him. If his opponents were possessed of a tithe of his patriotism, they would second his efforts to pour oil on the troubled waters and efFect•a reconciliation be tycoon the North and the South, rather than op pose them. The Crops in the United States. The harvest throughout the country is now finished, and we are satisfied the amount of wheat produced is greater than ever before.— In the Western States, where corn has hereto fore been the principal crop, an immense amount of wheat has been grown this year.— .In Missouri alone, the surplus is estimated at five hundred thousand bushels, and this is one of the smallest wheat growing States. The corn crop has suffered somewhat in almost every direction, in • consequence of draught, but that occurred before the grain began to form, and should the month of August prove favorable, a greater amount of corn will be raised than ever before known. All the crops suffered consid erably which fell in the course of the late gale, and swept from Capo Fear to the Northern 'Lakes, but that is, comparatively, quite a small portion of the great territory devoted to agricul ture. The cotton and sugar crops suflered greatly in consequence of the late spring, and the ma ny overflows to which it has been subjected. Indeed;, from all we can gather, it is probable that both these crops will fall far below the average, and it is possible they may be even below those of last year. In Texas alone have those crops escaped the disaster to which in .the other Southern States they have been sub jected. A large portion of the most productive lands in that State have this year been devoted to the production of sugar cane, and it is prob able that Texas will bo one of the principal States in the production of sugar. To Persons out of Employment. Young men, and youths even down to 14 years of age, of a fair common school educa lion, and who:lean write a tolerably good hand, residing in any part of the United States, will by addressing a letter post-paid to "Box No. 3069, New York Post Oflice," receive infor: oration of a mode in which they can be em-' employed with pecuniary profit to themselves for a few weeks, or, in case of success, penult nently;iwhile at the same time they will aid an extensile plan for the improvement of ednea lion throughout the country. Editors friendly to education will please copy this notice.—.N. Y. Tribune. Great Faire—The Ohio State Fair, which is to some oir in September next, promises to be very haidsotne. Exhibitors and other visiters will he present from Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky and New York. Two mammoth tents for it are in course sof erection at Cincinnati, at a cost of $3OOO. Premiums to the amount of 200000 will he awarded. • For the Lehigh Register Education. Mr. Mike: Permit me to communicate through your columns, a few thoughts to those who are entrusted with the rising generation. It requires no more than ordinary mind, to know how much the projibr culture of the rising generation is neglected. We need not wander among the barbarous tribes of other climes, to draw the picture; for observations from our daily walks, in our own neighborhood, draws the cast dark end deep enough, to bring it home in burning epithets to every philanthropic mind. Instead of pure virtue, we see vice festering around us, and instead of frugality and temperance, pride and voluptuousness, a:o making deep in roads upon the minds of the young that are growing up around us. But, what is to be done, the evil seems prev alent, and'where is the remedy ? Parents and guardians,seem to be contented as soon as they get their. children onward to school, oftentimes caring but littl e about the character or quali fications of the teacher. if he has a smatter. ing knowledge of a few of the primary branch ' es (reading, writing and arithmetic) he is good enough to teach my children says one, and the next says, if lie is good enough for your chil dren, he certainly will do for mine. But your responsibility does not end here. It is your duty before entrusting the education of your children or wards to another, to seo that his qualifications are such, as may be required for imparting instruction in all the branches neces sary to make a useful member in society, and also that he be of unexceptionable moral char acter, that his conduct not only within the nar row limits of his school, but at all times and places may be worthy thb ‘-ktnitation of the young, that are growing up aroluid him. But if such high attainments in knowledge and moral character are requisite in a teacher, where aro we to get them from, to supply the numerous dethands of our schools! Why all you have to do, is, to make teaching as hon orable as other professions, and guarantee them as liberal compensations for their labor, and they will be at.your service. The reason why persons with proper quali fications are not willing to engage in teaching,. is, because they can always find other ,stations ready to receive them, which are not so enslav ing as the present mode of teaching, and a bet ter compensation is awarded. The clerks in anr common counting houses, toll collectors at railroads and canals, the mechanic ard even the laborers on the farm are bettei paid for their service, and have continual employment. But again, if you employ a mechanic, a car penter for instance, to put up a building, you in the first place satisfy yourself that lie is master of the art he professes, and then you are careful to procure materials of such a qual ity and quantity as he may direct, so that he can work to the greatest advantage, and carry on the erection of the building with speed and facility But when it comes to the most important of all human transactions, we mean the ethica -1 lion of the young; how that forethought which was exercised in the case of building is con tracted; it seems to lie dormant on the stream of time. Suppose a person with the proper qualifications, to engage. in teaching. What can lie do? Visit some of our common schools ; and you will find from fifty to eighty scholars, differing in age from four to twenty years, crowded together in a small room, with low coiling and . windows, having no . ventilamr.— It will therefore be found a very unhealthy as well as unpleasant place, these rooms you will find furnished with old stoves that were no longer fit to • be used in the kitchen or work shop, desks and benches roughly put together, and generally too high for the largest scholars, while four-fifths of the children have to sit with their feet swinging in the air, and without sup port for their. bucks. On these benches they are compelled to sit from morning till noon, and from noon till evening. This is very tiresome for children, and hence they keep their bod ies in continual motion, and the 'whole school lr constant agitation. In some corner or place where the least ,spacels required, without re, gard to con venience, you will see a rudely con. strutted table, decorated with a few old worn out books, and beside it a person, pale and worn down with continual weariness. It is the teacher, from the appearance of his counte nance you may justly conclude that his mind is all confused. And to be short, the school- room has nearer the appearance of a prison, than that of a school. But not w ths land lug all these inconveniences, the teacher is to prepare your children for various avocations of life, and that too, in the short space of about five months, out of twelve, for eight or nine years, making in all less than fouur years for this im, portent preparation. Nov in conclusion, let me fay, that it depends upon the education of the rising generation, whether our names shal go down to posterity brightened with philan-' throphy, or stained with infatny; whether the bright star of liberty shall continue to descend to future ages hs pure as it came to us, or whether it shall be spotted with ignorance. Whether our. religious and political institutions shall continue to shine as bright stars in the flit - lament of• nations, or whether they shall sink to oblivion. If you wish to see the form er carried out, place your schools upon res pectable footing, make teaching an honorable business, and you shall have won the day.— All this may be very easily accomplished by taking ten per cent. from what is now lavished open luxuries, and worse than useless apparel, and applying it to your schools. The school houses would soon have a new and neat ap pearance, and be furnished with the proper re quisites for the convenience of the teacher, as well as the comfortable accommodation of the scholars. Heaven will approi , e of such a course, your children will honor you for it, and future generations, will rise up and reverence your memories. If you wish the latter, sit with your hands folded, and the stream of time will soon carry you to the tomb of oblivion. BRUM Demooratio County Meeting Pursuant to public notice, the Democratic citizens of Lehigh county, assembled in coun ty meeting, on Saturday the 3d of August, at the public house of Samuel Kuhns, in Up per Macungy township, and organized by the appointment of PHILIP KNAPPENBERGER, as President. ' 'Peter Newhard, Philip Pierson, Jacob Marks, Benj. Fogel, Anthony Oangwere, 'John Smith, I. Haas, Benjamin Breinig, Vice Presidents. J. D. La wall, J. M. Line, M. Hannum, and, J. W. Wilson, Secretaries. On motion, Resolved, That a Committee of two from each ward. and township be ap pointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, who after having retired for a short !line, reported the following: Resolved, That we have unbounded confi dence in the purity and practical utility of the time honored principles of the party to which we have the honor to belong, and in the suc cess which has ever attended their ascenden cy and the failure and national dishonor that has never failed to accompany their defeat, are fully justified in renewing in the most solemn manner, our pledges to support them, at all times, in all places, and under_ all circum stances. Resolved, That .we are in "favor of all the Compromises •of the Constitution, and every other Compromise that will'strengthen the Uni on and preserve the harmony of this Republic. That the fanatics of the East and thedisunion ists of the South are alike the objects of unmit igated horror arid disgust. That as Pennsylva nians, we will remain the Keystone of the great • political arch, whose base is washed by the At lantic and Pacific, beneath whose shadows millions of our race are blessed, as never men were blessed before; and whose summit glit ters in the purest light of Heaven. Resolved—That we are the friends of Slate Rights, and of a most strict construction of the Constitution of the United Stales—and are therefore opposed to the too free exercise of implied powers—to local improvements by the general Government—to the assumption of State liabilities—to partial legislation of every kind—to the collection of more revenue than is required for the wants of Government econ omically admin istercd—to the erection of a Na tional bank to plunder the people and thwart the action of the legally authorized agents of government—to any interference with the do mestic institutions of the several States—to new restraint on emigration and the naturalization of the oppressed of other lands—to local legis lation for future generations of American free men in the territories, and to every other fed eral clap-trap abomination, that has been or that may hereafter be invented to impair the real usefulness and mar the beautiful harmony of our admirable system of government. Resolved, That while we bury in the grave of the late President of the United States, every remembrance of his.known incapacity for the duties of the high station to which he was cal led by his pretended friends, and forget every thing but his glorious military career and his honesty of heart and purpose, which even they could not destroy or tarnish, we should disre gard our duty did wo omit to enter our solemn protest against the atrocious misconduct of a portion of bis Cabinet, under whose eye was consummated a fraud upon the Treasury so gross and glaring as to call down upon their heads the fiery indignation of every well-order- ed mind and honest heart in tho United States. Their prompt rejection by the new President in the formation of his Cabinet, is a most sig ind and deserved rebuke to all concerned in this infamous transaction. Resolved, That our Confidence in the high character and transcendent ability of Lewis Cuss, has been increased by every act of his since the campaign of 1818, and that regard ing him as we do, among the most wise and patriotic of our Statesmen, we should hail his nomination to the office of the Presidency 'Pith unalloyed delight, and hereby instruct all delegates under our control, to govern them selves in all conventions to which they may be called, with a view to this result. Resolved, That notwithstanding the federal croakings of ruin and distress to our manufacto ries and iron establishments as arising out of our present existing revenue laws, we have neverthe less the assurance that our manufacturing, estab lishments are with but few exceptions in a flour, ishinp, condition, and that at the present time there arc more goods manufactured and sold, more Iron made and worked into its different forms by our iron manufactories, and more labor employed Man there c vet. was before under any other Tariff law, which fact affords abundant er- idence that their cry of ruin is merely a political scheme got up for political purposes, and that our 171;11111feet°' ics stand in need of no more pro. lection than they at present enjoy. Resolved, That our present State administrn• tion is anything else but that which it should be —that in our present.execution we recognize a man void of principle and honor, a man whose word or promise cannot be taken and who would sacrifice the dearest interests of the Slate, if thereby he could build up his party and satisfy his political ambition. His promises to the people before his elevation to the office he now oc• cupies, have all been most shamefully violated, and we therefore are fully justified in pronounc ing him a man entitled to no confidence. Resolved, That in the nominations made by the democratic State convention, assembled at Wilt liainsrort, we have reason to be proud with: That in William T. Moi Hum, Ephraim Ilanks and J. Porter Drawley, our candidates for the sev• eral State offices, we recognize men in whom all confidence can safely be placed. With such men as our standard bears, the party cannot fail to succeed, and. we will with the greatest pleasure use all honbrabli means to secure their election at the next October campaign, with a triumphant . majority. • • Resolved, That the course pursued by the Hon. Thomas Ross, our representative in Con. gress, merits the entire approbation of his con, stittients in Lehigh county, fur which he deserves .the full meed of praise which is due and freely ex• tended to all good and true public servants. The raving and dirty invectives of such a man as Thaddeus Stevens, of Buckshot and Ball Diem. ory, fall harmless at his feet. Should our polit ical brethren Of Bucks see proper to renominate him for said office, the democracy of Lehigh, would stand ready to hail such an event with feelings of joy, and would endeavor to secure his triumphant election. Resolved, That with our Representatives to the Assembly, Messrs. Marx and Klotz, we are ful ly satisfied. Their course as public servants was strictly democratic and merits our entire ap probation. Resolved, That our democratic friends in the several townships be requested to hold their Del egate elections at their respective places, on Fri day, the 20th of September, and elect the num ber of Delegates to which they are respectively entitled, which Delegates will meet in Delegate Convention, on• Saturday the 21st of September, at the public house of Owen Shand, in North Whitehall township, for the purpose of placing in nomination, a thorough Democratic County Ticket, to be supported by the democracy of Le high at the coming fall election. [Signed by the Ottcers.) The Small Note Law The small note law, with its penitentiary penally, we see will be defied in many parts of the State, as unconstitutional. Besides le gislation against the necessities of the people is not only wanton and oppressive, but will always be resisted until its disuse renders it a dead letter. Pennsylvania has more than one such statute, and upon the same subject. All the good that the law will do, will be to feed the brokers at the expense of the peo ple. How wise and considerate such legis lation.—Pc»nsykania Mlegraph. The Delay of Congress. Congress has been in session eight months, and yet it has not passed a single bill of any consequence. The neglect to pass the usual appropriation bills, which extend only to the first of July, is perhaps the most shamefnl evi dence of its disregard of public duty. Many persons having claims upon the government, are now waiting.from day to day to have them satisfied, with scarcely any nearer prospect of its being done than there was seven or eight months ago. This is particularly the case with the wives of seamen in service abroad, whose half pay constitutes, with their own toil, all the dependence of themselves and families. The scenes at the office of the Navy Agent are I painful to contemplate. The appropriation has run out, and there is no money to give these poor women, whose husbands so hardly earn the poor pittance they receive. They have been kept already one month in suspense. causing no doubt an infinite amount of dis: tress and suffering among them. Of course here is no help for these sufferers. The mem bers at Washington, who are receiving their eight dollars per day for eight months of worse than idle talk, for much of it is posi tively mischievous, care very little for oth ers, as long as their own wants aro supplied. But if anything could add to the disgraceful state of things at Washington, it is this rob bing of the poor, by withholding from them so long their just earnings.—Ledger. Cholera in Uniontown The Union town papers of Wednesday the 30th alt., bring us the sad intelligence of the breaking out of the cholera in that place on the •Ith inst. During Monday several persons were attacked with it, and on Tuesday there were seven deaths. Two of the earliest victims were Maj. John Irons, editor of the "Genius of Lib erty, and Samuel S. Smith, Esq., both highly esteemed and influential citizens. The others were—Elijah Hazzard, Mrs. Cathcart,Jonathan West, jr., a boy named Cropp, and Nancy Webster ; a colored girl. On Wednesday there had been no further deaths, and there were but six or seven cases all of which were consider ed convalescent. Charcoal for Cisterns The Horticulturist for April publishes the re- port of an experiment made by C..llobinson,Esq., of New Haven:— "My cistern, holding some fifteen hogsheads, is filled from the roof of my house, standing near a street much frequented, although regularly wa; tered during the summer. Whether the difficul ty has arisen from the street, or from the fact that a grape vine overhangs a part of the roof, or be.. cause the cistern is closely covered, the water has at all times a slight unpleasant smell. This difficulty bccarnC so great last summer, that I was coinpelled to have the cistern emptied and thor. °uglily scoured. This winter the trouble has been greater than usual ; so great as to drive me to the unwelcome conclusion that my cistern must again be broken up, emptied, and thorough ly cleaned. Such was tha condition of things when I made the experiment above described; and I very nat urally went one step fatther. Taking about six quarts of clean charcoal, finely powdered, I wet it thoroughly, in a pail, and then pored it through the water pipe in my cistern. . In about ten days the whole difficulty was re moved, and the water is sweet and so ft as the purest which falls from the skies. The Crops in Ohio.—The Columbus, (0.) Jour nat of Sauirday week has the following intelli• gence: ..Our exchange's come to us with glorious ac counts of the crops of Ohio. Our wheat crop is excellent, both in quantity and quality. Proba• lily there never was so abundant a crop raised in this, the first Wheat State in the Union. It is now nearly all harvested and secured. Our loss last year was probably fully ten millionsof. bushels." Pact.—lt Was the remark of a humorist, that oto talk about a person having the power to weep on all occnsions, is two feet from moonshine.— I'd like to sec a man cry with a pretty rosy check ed young Miss by his 'side—pockets full of cash —and plenty of ice cream in reach." Accident on the Erie Railroad• As the down Freight.train was crossing the iron bridge over a small tributary of the Dela ware, about three miles above Lackawaxen, at about 1 o'clock on Wednesday the 30th ult., the bridge gave way, precipitating the entire train into the stream and strewing the freight in all directions. The train was very heavy; consist. ing of nearly twenty cars, which were filled' principally with Live Stock- for the New York market. -The accident occurred soon after the passage of the Express train. As the locomotive of the Freight. train came upon the Bridge, it was ob. served to settle gradually; but the Engineer putting on all the steam the increased power carried the engine over safely. The tender part ing from it, fell, with some fifteen of the freight cars, into the ravine below, a distance of some 25 feet. The stock on board consisted of some 500 Sheep, over 100 head of Cattle, and 200 Hogs, nearly all of which were de.troyed. Only 25 cattle and 100 sheep were saved. The most painful part of this calamity, how ever is the loss of several lives ; the number of which is not yet - accurately ascertaincd:ll is supposed that five men were killed—three Brake men and two Drovers. Three men had been ta ken out dead, at the time of the passage of the next train—which reached the City yesterday morning, after a detention of several hours. One of these was a Brakeman, whose name was not ascertained. The other two were Dra. Vera, in charge of the stock. Their names, and places of residence are as follows: 'rhomas Campbell Clapp, 19 years old, from Menton, Ohio. (A nephew of Alex. Campbell, of Bethany , College, Va., and in charge of a lot of sheep and swine.) Mr. Randall in charge of cattle, from Corning, New York. ft is feared that other lives were lost The engineer and fireman escaped With some slight scratches. The engine having run off the track, rested upon the abutment of the bridge, and gate time for these men to escape. Our in formant slateS that the Conductor of the train was badly injured and was not expected to stir, vive. A correspondent of the Commercial Ad. vertiser states that another of the injured men was still alive at the Inst accounts, but was suffering under intense agony—the horn of one of the cattle having been driven through his breast. The bodies of the killed were immediately ta. ken into Port Jervis. The drovers and some hands in the rely cars saved themselves by jumping as the train went down, and escaped with little injury. The scene was painful in the extreme. The. mass was wedged- in between the two banks of the chasm over which the bridge passes, the cat tle being pierced with numerous splinters of the cars, and impaled upon the horns of each other.. A few were still alive, and after fearful struggles, succeeded in extricating themselves, and getting out upon the adjoining plain. But those that did thus escape were apparently all more or less in jured. A . number of sheep escaped in the same way. It is supposed, upon rough calciOatinti, in. eluding the cost of cars and bridfte, that the loss of property will amount to about 10,000 dollars. The bridge was 62 feet in length and 25 feet in height. The damages, we understand, will be repaired to day, and the communication on the line will suffer little interruption. New Cure for Cholera Dr. Macrae, in the hospital at Howralt, has according to the Indian news, discovered a new and most successful mode of treating cholera pa tients. Ile causes them to inhale a certain quan tity of oxygen gas, which contributes a strong stimulating effect, and finally throws the patient into a refreshing sleep. On awaking, he finds himself restored to health, with the exception of a general weakness, which always succeeds any physical prostration. Dr. Macrae had tested his mode of practice upon fifteen European seamen, who had been carried to the Ilowrah hospital in tire last stage of the disease, and the patient has in every instance recovered. • The Emigration to California.—According to present appearance, there will be a tremendous emigration from the Atlantic States to California during the present year. Up to the seventeenth ofJune last, we are authentically informed that some thirty thousand adventurers passed Port Laramie, on the overhand route to the modern El Dorado; and the rush by the way of Chagres and Panama is still very great. The prohabili. ty is that the new State on the Pacific will re ceive an accession to her population of sixty or seventy thousand' within the present year. The accounts recently received froM the gold region warrant the belief that the proCeeds of gold dig, ging this season will be immense. • That State, with such wonderful resources, need care very liitle whether she is admitted into the Union of not. Indeed, we would not be surprised if she got disgusted with the manner in which she has been treated, and withdraw herbpplication for.ad mission altogether. , Cotton Manufactories.— We are frequently hearing-of the erection of cotton manufactories in the Southern States ; and from the number that have already been built and projected, it is evident that before long the Sttuth will be am. ply able to supply themselves, and to compete with the manufactures of New England and the North. South Carolina is awakening to the im portance of the subject, and has taken it in hand in such a manner as to warrant the belief that she, too, will supply her own wants before long. If this movement be followed hp, the manufae. luring business of the North will undergo a revolution, that will be attended with serious I consequences to the New England States. Gad Iron Pig Troughs.—ln these days of iron, when it is substituted for wood so universally, we should like to know if cast iron troughs have ever been used in this country feeding hogs.— They are quite common in Great 13thain, and there As no doubt, if once introduced'into the Uni. ted States, they would be highly approved,,. Capture of a blaniteu or Sea Cow. By the arrival of the steamer Monmouth,Cap lain Freeborn, from Indian River, yesterday, we learn that Messrs. Clark and llurnam succeeded in capturing a sea caw on the 17th instant, nears Jupiter Inlet, rlorida. The ;animal was caught in a net, is of the male species, and is nine feet three inches in length. They succeeded in tak ing it alive, and ,have shipped it to Charleston, in the schr. Charleston, with the intention of ess bibiting it at the,North during the ensuing sums mer, and of bringing it South next Winter. An individbal who saw it describes it as a remarka bly curious animal. It was very wild when first captured, but soon became quiet tame, and now eats freely of grass, &c. Its tail is in the' shape of a fan, and is two feet five inches.broad. It has no hind feet; its fore feet are similar to those of a turtle ; has nails like those on the human hand, but no claws. Its mouth and nose resemble those of a cow ; has teeth on the lower jaw, but none on the upper. . Previous to the capture of the one above des scribed, they succeeded in taking a female; but it was so large, and becoming entangled in the net, made such desperate exertions to escape,. that the captors were compelled to shoot it. They preserved the skin, however, which is fifteen feel • long. • The individuals who made the capture, were in our city some weeks ago, making the neces. sary arrangements for their enterprise, and ex. pressed their determination to make a capture. They have succeeded, and will no doubt be am ply rewarded by the exhibition of their rent nat ural curiosity. Barnum of the American Muse um, is said to have offered them, if successful $lO,OOO for their prize. This is the second instance within our knowl edge that the Sea Cow has been captured.— Some years ago, during the Florida war, Col. Harney shot two of them in the Everglades.— He preserved the hides, and they were exhibited in Si. Augustine as a great curiosity. We saw a rib of one of the animals yesterday, in posses sion of a gentleman of this city, to whom it was presented by Col. Harney. He informed us that he had Partaken of the flesh, and pronounced it remarlcably lender and palatable.-far superior to. beef. • Mr. Clark, one of the captor., is a resident of Florida, a highly respectable gentleman, and ex tensively known in ibis city.—Sarannah News, of 20th ef June. Valuable Recipes. A correspondent of the American Agricultur ist, gives the following in reference to diseases of ihe swine A breeding sow was turned off to fatten. A few days after, she was noticed to stand with her head down, and to be breathing with great distress, but yet,.without any perceptible sound: This continued for a day or two, when, suppos ing she was laboring under an attack of intlam ation of the lungs, I cut oft her tail, from which* she bled very freely. This was ftillowed by' immediate relief, and in a day or two she was' quite well. To Cure Bloating or Hoven in Cattle.—A table spoonful of spirits of hartshorn, for an ox or cow, or a teaspoonful for a sheep, will afford instan taneous relief. It should be diluted with wa ter or milk. It acts by decomposing the gas gen erated in the stomach, and which is the cause of the disease. Small Been—For making three gallons of beer, take 1 quart of molasses,2o drops oil of spruce, 15 drops oil of winter, green, 10 drops of oil of sassafras; add hot water to make the requisitu quantity; mix the ingredients well ; let the liquor stand till it is blohd, warm, then add one pint of yeast ; let it remain ten or twelve hours; bottle it, and three or four hours it is fit fur use. • Blackberry Syrup.—We are indebted to a friend for the following receipt for making blackberry syrup. This syrup is said to be almost a spe cific for the Summer Complaint. In 1832 it was successful in more than one case of cholera.— To two quarts of the juice of blackberries, add one pound loaf sugar, 6oz. nutmegs, I . r. mon, pulverized, oz. cloves, # oz. alspics, do.. z Boil all together for a short time, and whenoo* add a pint of good fourth proof brandi. Frailtli'l44.\* teaspoonful to a wine glass, according tg:lh . vt. age of the patient, is to be given. 4 4 , Minato Ree;pe.—The folinWing has beenlitink ' ed to us as the recipe of a good house-wife, for' preserving or ticuiring" tomatoes so effectually' that they may be brought out at any time be• tavern the seasons "good as new," with precise , . ly the flavor of the original article : ..Get sound tomatoes, peel them, and prepare' just the same as for cooking, squeeze them as fine ns possible, put them lit a kettle, bring them. to a boil, season with pepper and stilt; then put them in stone jugs taken directly from water in which they, (the jugs)s have been boiled. Seal the jugs immediately, and keep them in a coot place." Thriff Qualion.--Itis stated by the Wash ington correspondent of the Boston Journal, tlit an attempt will be made to amend the tariff by appending a bill for that purpose to the Genera Appropriation bill. Perhaps a bill may in this , way be passed. We have seen it stated that. some of the cotton mills in.Georgin and South , Carolina are injuriously affected by , the present state of things. Gen.
