Smokers would do well to examine the lot of Messrs. B. & N. if they are fond of a highly flavored iavanna. S53IUns er medical laustitute. Students of Medicine would do well -to notice the Card of the Charleston . ;Suminer Medical Institute, which is to be found in our advertising columns, 'and also to the course of Anatomical Lectures and Demonstrations by Dr. MYDDLETON MICIIEL. The plan of ,study and system of instruction pro. Vosed by Dr. MICI.EL cannot but be of great assistance to the student. Rate. A planter of this )istrict informs us, that the rats are so numerous on a -neighbors plantation, as to have attack ed a field of cotton and completely do.: stroycd a half acre of wntl gro*n plants; the presumption is, that corn uitst be scarce in that ,ncighlborhood. Imuportasnt to Travelers. Our Columbia correspondent writes us, that on and after Monday, Angust 21st, the cars for Charlotte, via Vinns bor' and Chester will leave Columbia every afternoon at 4 o'clock, instead of 7 A. M., as formerly. Travellers then rom any point in the W. & M. R. R., can reach Winmsboro or Chester on the same day they arrive at Columbia, i by travelling all night reach Char lutte early next. morning. 'This change is made to facilitate travel and to occommnodate trave*llers going North or visiting the up country. Battle of' Churubuusco. Thle survivors of the Palmetto Regiment in this place gave a dinner at Bradfoird's -mills on Saturday, iln honor of the Anni versary of the battle of Chumruhusco.

This celebrated clipper ship, con Serning whichl there hats been wvritten so imny mysterious newspaper para -graphs. arrived in New York on Wed nesday, in ballast consigned to George Law.

We hiave received from the publish. ers, Messrs, DANIEE. BuURGss & Co. 1wew. York,, a new work entitled "First Lessons.in Language or Elements of Enghili Grammiar," by D. B. Towgin, .A. M., and BENJi . F.. TwEED A. M. The plan ot- the work is simple and adapted to tho undlerstanding of very y.oung scholars. After an examination of the cotents- of the book, we do not hesitate in recomnmeniding it to the at tLentlon of parents and. teachers as an elementary treatise,, well worth a pleeise in every school.

We have never heire been visited by so many and such destructive thun. der storms, accompanied by high winds, as during this season. The in tensity of the heat, we suppose, will account for the electricity and the storms ; but who will assign a reason w% hy this summer should exceed all of its predecessors, so for as we know, for the duration and intensity of its heat? W'e have had b long succession of scorching days and sweltering nights, mitigated now and then for a few hours by some wrathful cloud sweeping tem pest-driven over our heads, discharging volumes of lightning and floods of rain, with an accasional rattle of hail. Now, after. several .days of drizzly weather ( just such weather as makes the planter tremble for his fodder and his cotton forms) it has cleared of beautifully, and this morning (Monday) we have the promise of another day re minding us of some of its melting pre decessors. Within a circle of a few miles of our town we have been informed, of an unprecedented number of instances in which lightning has discharged itself upon the earth, rending trees, killing stock, and occasionally doing damage to houses. But one instance has oc curred however, in which human life has been destroyed in this way, and that has been already noticed. We heard the other day of a gentleman going out to look for several missing cows, and found them all dead under a tree which had been manifestly struck by lightning. Recently we heard of a very singular freak of the el-etrie fluid, which killed on the spot, ten hugs for Capt. J. D. M'-F'.tummni und- the ibl, lowing circumstances. Th . ('g;. ing along a sn'iA tack x er hsue make, at a e kier~ea .u - each other. e', < t ; aurjg r j,eUng within th:ry yardi -'h tree apotl wiich tlin uia descearded, an;;thot' was at'abott the distance >f' forty yards and the last. .i. least acrenty yards of and in a path making from the one in which the others haudfallen. This seems to have been done by one discharge, the fluid choosing to pursue the earth, rather than enter the ground, and to deflect from the original path which it had taken. We have often seen small spots of growing crops killed by lightning, but we never before heard of half an acre destroyed, which we have been infim ru ed upon undoubted authority, is the faet on theO plantation of Mr. J. ii MONvoOMEny, a few miles below this plaee. A stream of electricity, a few days since, fell upon one of his cotton fields and destroyed at least half an acre of the weed, as above stated. An other gentlemun had a horse and muiie killed in his sk~bles, the lightning stri king a tree firgt a little distance off. In our toIwn, we have been informed, a chicken was killed by tho fluid just, below the door of a house, the house itself being untouched, and without c'nd uctors.. WeT record these things, as matters of interest to us all, and in order that facts may be laid before the public in regard to a subtle and often destructive fluid. whose habitudes (so to speak) are still in sonme respects involved in nystery. Tomnatos all the Year'. By following the simple and easy receipt, given below for preserving and keeping tomnatos fresh, persons may have that excellent vegetable ready prepared for the table at all sea sonis of the year. We have tried the plan and find the tomratos thus prepar ed, at a hare nominal expense, to be equal to those fresh plucked, when in season: " Take ripe tomatos, wvash thaem in cold water, and boil thema for twenty minutes ; have your ceans i() bottles) prepared in the mean time by plecing them in cold water in a lboiler ; put your tomantos in the cans with a very little salt and pepper, and set the boi. 1er with them over a slow fire, where let them remain until thme water boils at which timo cork and seal thium her. metically. By this simple procesn you can have the vegetable alwayn ready for your table, with all the fresh1 ness and flavor of the season." Most vegetables may be kept, iri like maniner. News of the Week.

There is a rumor of a revival of republi canism in France, and also of discontent in both Hungary and Poland. Lieutenant Bonaparte, of Baltimore, has joined the French army and sent in his resignation to the American Government.

In I'hilidelphia some firteen Roman Catholic teachers in the public schools have been removed by the newly elected School Directors.

The white inhabitants on the shore of Lake Superior are now agitating the ques tion of forming a State separate and apart from the present organization-taking what of Michigan lies west or Lake Mich igan, and the points of Visco!in uand I in tesota, bordering on the lake, and appro priately naming it the State of Superior. The usury laws will probably be repeal ed in England, a bill to that elrect having been read a second time in the louse of Lords. The Marquis of Landsdowne said the time had come for altogether abolish ing the laws. Lord Campbell rejoiced to have lived to see the day when usury laws received their death blow. Lord Brough. am, on moral as well is mercantile grounds, also rejoiced at the destruction of these laws. '1'he Lord Chancellor said these laws were not only mischievous, but presented loopholes for evasion. The sen tineut of the I louse was altogether in fa vor of the repeal. Mr. Benton has announced his intention ot stumping the State of Missouri for the purpose of securing his election as United States Senator.
