LETTER IR0 KANSAS. Lscourros, KANS.s TsaaInTY, - March 18, 1857. 5 Dear Banner: The agitation resulting from .the contest between Gov. Geary a-.d Judge Le. cotpt has almost entirely ceased in the Territo ry, and been transferred to Washington. The -Governor left here very suddenly, a few days since, leaving the impression behind him that he was going to Fort Leavenworth, for the benefit of his health; but the next news that we heard from hint, he was on his way to Washington. His friends are rather gloomy in view of his prospects, and I think somielwhat displeased at his duplicity. We have some private news from Washington, touching the Kansas policy of Mr. Buchanan, which perhaps you will have received ere this retehes you. Among other items, the most important is the removal of all the more important oficers. Richardson, of Ilhinois, is spoken of as Geary's successor, and a South Ca rolinian as successor to Judge.Cato. Judge Le conipt and Gen. Calhoun-Surveyor General, and a good pro slavery man-will also be removed. Marshall Donaldson's resignation will be received. Thus the new Administration will come in un trammeled by those who have in any way been connected with our late disturbances. In the meantime, all is not peace and quiet in our midst. A few of Ossawattamy Brown's out laws still continue to rob and murder in the low er part of the Territory. These gentlemen (?) will, however, soon be brought to an account by Uncle Sam's troops. A Free State, or rather an Abolition Conven tion, was held at Topeka, about a week ago. Robinson, Reeder and other leaders of the party, were there, and succeeded in duping' the Conven tionZ ito. agreeing that they would continue to disregard the Territorial Laws, to refuse to pay taxes, allow their census to be taken, or vote at the ensuing election for a State Constitution. They depend upon next winater's .Congress to re eeive their old State Constitution. There is, however, a considerable party of Free State men who have given in to the laws, and intend to vote for Ilelegates to the Territorial Conv'ention. -Thus they have concluded to adopt the very course m'ost desired by us to defeat themselves. This division int their party will have the effect to make the Convention a representetion of both .parties, and not enough to be in our way at the election. Such is about the most probable con jecture that I can make of our variable politics. The iummense tide of immigration which is flow ing in, will not influence the vote, as none will be allowed a vote who were not here on the 15th inst. The rapid settling tip of the country, the im provement of towns, atnd the rise itn property are really astonishing. This townt has been set back more than any other by war, and yet the popula tiotn already rnumbers near a thousand, and va canat lots-2> by 1401 feet-readily command from $600 to $800. The improvement in Leav enworth is even more remtakable, and indeed would be thoutghtt fabulous in South Carolina. A short tiume sintc a friend of inei brought~ a va cant lot thtere for $1.100, antd itn a few mntutes after sold it for $1,700. Much valuable lund will soon be in mtarket. A portion of the Delaw~are Reserve, -10 miles lung by 10 wide, lying ou the Kaw Riv-er, opposite tiis plan,' is attracting a good deal of attention. Over hazlf of it has been settled up in two or three weeks, on the supposition that it will sootn be olsen for pre-emuptioni. The winter has broken,]I think, and farmers are preparing to break the soil. Let me say to those who wish to try their fortunes here, that there is nothin" more certain than that a fortune can b~e made Yyv'any steady, indtustrious mant, who will settle'immediatoly on a claim, and go- right to work. Witht fcur or five yokes of oxent and a good plough, lhe catn break two acres of prairie a day, or can have it dune for $51.00 pe acre. N other work is necessary btut planting the cornt and fencing, until the crop is ready to gather. E'ifty bushels per acre mtay theit be safely calcu lated on. Trhe pilantitng season extends from the 15th of April to the 15th of June. Corn has been selling since the last crop at 7-> ets. to $1.00 a buishel. Wheat anid stock-raising are more profitable than Corn. 'Te country is healthy, money is getting'plentiful, and I can see no pros pect of another war. Sincerely yours, J. M. P. ExCas .t'so Tm: UNImo Sruns.-At a ban quet givena to the P'ahnerston initstrv, by the Lord Mavor of London, the21st tilt., Lordf Pal merston .spoke on the foreign policy of Great Britain andu thtis alluded to~thue relations :withi the United States : "I will ontly say I believe that at no timie in recentt years has there existed so thoroughly sound and whtolesomne a feeling as now prevails between the people of this counitry and the United States, who, understanding their resipro cal interoa'ts, feel a determintationi that those in terests shall not be distutrbed by quarrels and disagreemeints, whlich may p~artially derange, though they do tnt interrupit our friendly comn mumteations. I believe that this amicable feel ing is shared as well as by the Governamenit of the United States as by the Governmient of Her Majesty. anid we have this advantage-that the emmentt man who has now beent raised by the voice of his countrymen to preside over the des tinies of those States has btut recently left our shores, has lived among us, has mtixed with all classes of our people, and has beetn able to ap preciate the esteem and respect felt for his cotuntry by all sections in these kingdoms.' Faost an article in the Spartanbumrg Express we learn that Col. Orr positively declintes a re election to Congress. The Exrpreses says, in no ticing a short address mnade by Col. Orr, to a party of young men who hadl honored him with a serenade, on Tuesday evening the 31st nlt: "Col. Orr took occasion to express his grati tude for the renewed miarks of approbation and esteem which those present had givent him, and to say that no ciretnmstances in the future, which he could now conceive of, would itnduce himt to be a canididate for re-election, but with the per mission of his constituents, he would reserve his decision upon this for the future." Col. Orr would be, if returned to the next Congr3, a promineut candidate for Speaker of the ouse, aad we hope that he will be induced to re-consider his determination to retire from the Ijouue of Representatives.-Augusta Con aittionalist. MR. TEN BRoECi. ASTONISUING THE NATITE. This celebrated tturfman conducted, recently, in a light carriage, eight horses, two abreast, at a rapid rate, up and down the narrow, slippery streets of Florence, in a manner that so affrighted the police, that they waited upon him with a prohibition to limit himself for the future to four horses, as royalty itself never aspired to more than six, even with the aid of postillions. ARTHUR SIMKINS, EDITOR. EDGEIEILD. . C. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1857. "MINNIE'S" "MX MOTHER." Another very nice sample of a beginner's poetici zing. " Ma II a " and " LIT.L:.," make a good little match of poetical ponies, if they will permit us the expression; and we would like to have them trained rightly. The truth is, they are so. good a match that we find some difficulty in telling 'tother from which. Go on, girls. FOR CONGRESS. It now appears that, beside the two Edgefield can didates for Congress, there is hut one other. viz: Hon. C. P. SrLLIV.t, of Laurens. All the rest have dis tinctly declined. .7' AN election held in Watery Branch Company, on the 4th inst., resulted in the choice of Lieut. Mo sts N. HOLSTEIN for Captain, he having received a plurality out of ninety-eight votes cast. BRING ALONG YOUR CORN-MEAL. Our Steam-Mill is burnt up, and corn-meal is badly wanted at this place. Will not the good farmers bring in enough to supply the necessities of the place ? They will confer a favor on their fellow-citizens here, and receive a good price;'e a-h dowen. for the commiodity. We repeat, hurry on the meal. ROYAL STARCH. MI. RAxsAY at the Post Office has a superior kind of starch, the kind Qeen Victoria of England uses. Our ironer tried it yesterday, and we have on the shirt now. It gives a smooth polish to linen without making it too .tiff, and does not need the help of sperm. It is also used without being boiled. Try it. A WORD TO DELINQUENTS. No subscriber to our paper should take offence at our sending his account for payment.

Our object is to make the cash system a reality; and we feel certain that readers and advertisers will all be well pleased with its operation when once fully carried out. SERIOUS LOSSES Y FIRE. Qs Sunday morning last, about day-break, Mr. Jon M. Wnrrr's Machine and Cabinet Shop, in this place, was discovered to be in Sanoa past all possi bility of being saved. The fire rapidly spread to his Steam-mill adjoining. and to the Coach Manufactory and Black-Smith shops of Mr. Jons LEIGH; also, on the other side, to a cottage building occupied by Mr. STaNsoin: B. tlinnrsIs. All of these were entire ly consumed, together with a largo portion of their contents. The loss in Machinery and tools of all kinds was very scvero Messrs LEIGu, WaTT, GRIFIN. RuwoxL., COVAR. PACT. and ItLai-T heing the suf terers. Some of them lust their entire implements of trade. The whole lhss is estimated at about twenty five thousand dollars. and no insurance. Maosrs .Ean and Wir' are the principle losers their ilamages be ing reckoned by them at a suin not short of twenty thousand dollars. The fire company was out antd all possible exertions mnatde to lessen the disaster, which camne very near at one time being much more exten sive.

If his scholars of last winter will refresh their memorimmnow, they will probably never forget what theny have been taught. A NEW FIRM.. The recent firm of NEwer A Co., of Augusta, has been dissolved, and the new one of J. K. HionA & Co., substituted. The stand is still the same. and some of the Company the same as in the old firm, among them Mr. Wxs. Wiss: andl Mr. Taxxi.:ntxxx,. This house has long been known as one of the very first clothing es tablishments in the atuth, and we dout not it will continue to deserve that rank under its new management. Its shelves are now lnden with a heavy Spring anal Sunmmer Stock, and fresh supplies are coin tinually arriving. See adtvertisement 'on another page. The handsome present to our D. Ri.

Joxxs, to say that he declines being a candidate for a seat in Congress, and tenders his thanks to those friends who so generously displayed their confidence in him b~y placing him befotre the public for that high position. In the note senat us, Gen. Joxxst, says :--" I am go ing to Kansa-, bay the 1st of May, to help thme Pro slavery party, in their last struggle, make Kansas a Slave State." Comment upon the last paragraph is unnecessary. It speaks for itself. But we cannot pass by such a noble exhibition of true piatriotismn, without giving the brave Gen. the most ardent wish of our heart thnt success and happainess :nay attend himi on his self-im posed trials and sacritices. Are there not more, who feel sufficient interest in the cause of the South, and the preservation of her institutions, to make simnilar sacrifices? All former eforts will prove fruitless, if, at last the final decision of the slavery qjuestion in Kansas be left with our enemies, who are now ponurinig into that Territory by thousands.

X ," a correspondlent of the Spartanbutrg Rrpress, writes a knowing article upon the comet that is to come in June. Hie show~s up the abasurdity of the French man who predlietst that it will terminate all terrestrial afairs, and concludes by saying: "So don't let Dr. Cummings or the comet scare you, bet en its first appearance hail it as a grand ce leitial visitor, and shake your fist at it anti say, shake nt your fiery tail at me, and try to scarce me, for yeu ca't conme-it" That being the ease, we will go to work and fix up eurs Eqeity papers for June Court, as if nothing were ging to happen.

The affairs of this now-eelebrated Territory are ap roaehing a very material crisis-a crisis, upon which urns the decision of the question : whether Kansas is A be a free or slave State. The territorial legislature -ecently determined upon a Convention for the pur pose of framing a constitution, and the election of ielegates to that convention is the important issue to which we allude. Under the constitution thus formed, Kansas will apply for admission into the Union ; and the contest will be whether slavery shall be recognised, >r not, in that constitution. The bare statement of these facts is enough, we should suppose, to arouse every Southern community to the necessity of taking some. active, immediate steps towards aiding the Southern cause in this pend ing struggle. The inquiry doubtless presents itself to every one: how ire we to render this aid ? We answer, by money. The pro-slavery emigrants in Kansas need help. They in some instances need the means of subsistence. Enough af them are now in the territory to carry the election af Convention delegates on Southern principles, and they are disposed and determined (if possible) to re tain and fight the battle out like men. At the same time they are in difficulty, undergoing the hardships )f frontier life with little or no means, bearing (for principle's sake) the brunt of danger, and encounter .g the discomfort of actual penury. In a word, the host of them are poor men laboring bravely in our muse, and they have a right to assistance at the hands >f the Southern people. Their being poor, is not to Ie used as a reason for under-valuing their patriotic services. A few there are, we know, who sneeringly leclare their belief that no Kansas emigrant. even ,rom the South, is to be trusted upon the slavery ques tion unless he be a slave-holder. This doctrine is not nly pernicious in its tendency but totally erroneous. All accounts concur in representing the Southern men now in Kunas as devotedly true to their section and the institutionsi of their section, not one in i thousind >f them who would not rick his life in fighting for those institutions, and many of whom haveialready actually done so. They are poor, it is true; but they ire spirited at the same time, and as fully imbued with Southern principles as the wealthiest slave-hold rs amongst us. The very fact of their having thrown themselves into this perilous breach should satisfy every caviller upon this point. The consciousness of this fact hus made every emigrant of them a living, cting, earnest advocate of our Southern cause. How ever little of his thoughts may have been given to the tubject before, now he feels himself to be one of the xponents of Southern Rights in a great struggle be 're th whole country. His bosom is fired with the den. iis love of the old home institutions he left behind him is made to glow with a genial warmth which few of us who remain listlessly by our Southern ire-sides have ever realized. He is, in short, the em uodiment tf a principle and proudly feels himself uch. And poor though he may he, this conscious ess. thi. feeling places him as far above the influen 'es of bribery or corruption as though he had fifty ve, at his beck and bidding. Nu, no-it is ingrati ude in any Southerner thus to suspect his poor South. rn brethren in Kansas, brethren who have gone to tattle for Southern Rights and Southern Institutions t the calls of patriotism and of honor. Their pover y, their destitution in this distent territory, is the very eason why every one of us who has the means should >roaptly administer to their necessities. They need ur aid this moment, and they deserve our fostering are. The distinguished ATCISOs tells the South hat such is the fact. Other prominent men in the orth-West toll us so too, and appeal to the South in half of her men in Kansas Territory. Is not this nough ? Iteasons of policy may forbid their giving iarticulars. lBut their general and reiterated declara ion is, that the Southern cause in Kansas needs help n the way of money contributions. They' make this iclaration with pressing earnestness; andi they are ionorable gendlemen all. Is not this enough for us to now ? Can we ask more, under the circumstances, han to be certain that our contributions aro seriously eeded, and that those who will receive them are high ainded and honest men solemnly pledged to apply all uefunds to the wants of the Southern pro-slavery itizens of Kansas ? We repeat then, that now is the tim. r w a. ti i - emething in thitmatter of dutr-- - "While ias ca e -day." let every district in South Carolina send up ier contribution to this good cause. Besides the re ef it will afford to our Southern settlers in Kansas, will cheer and re-animate their hearts by demonstra ing to them that they are remembered and cared for >y the people at home. The refleetion will impart to bemi new energy, new ardor. Thcy will cnnvass for he coming election with increased dilligenee and as iduity. They will go up to the polls tike "an army vith banners;" and Kansas will be the full sister of kirgiia anda South Carolina, anud of all the other outhern States.

If we are itot greatly mii-taiken, our eyes have met these same ines in pirint several times. Nevertheless, they are retty and we print them willingly : " There are gains for all our loises, There ar balms for all our pain: But when W. uth,, the dream. departs, . It tkssomething from tiur hearts, AndI it never comes again. We are strongeer, and aire better, Under maln iood's sterner reign : Still we feel that somiething sweet Followed youth, with flyimig feet, And will neuver come again. Something beautiful is vanished. And we sigh for it in vain :I We behold it everywheare, On the earth, and in the air. But it never comes again !" Anothicr and pierhaps a bietter view of nearly the same sujoet is contained in the lines we appendi, not is our own: " Unthinking, fuiolish, wilid and young.

We have inadvertently omitted to mention that our beloved Senator, JUDGE Btur.Ea, has returned to his home (Stonelands) after the fatigues of the late labo rious session; and we regret to add that his health is not so good as when he left us for Washington last fall. We trust his infirmity is but temporary however, and that it will be loon removed by the fresh air and limpid water of his country home. There is too much recuperative energy yet about the venerable senator, to admit of the beleif that he will yield to the inroads of any ordinary ailment, and we shall oxpect to see him restored to his usual health in a short time. The annexed note, which has been handed to us for publi cation, will be read with interest by the many friends of the Judge: Mn. EDITon : I had- the pleasure a few days since of spending an afternoon with our distinguished Sen ator, the Ilon. A. P. BUTLER. Our object was to se cure his assistance in an important Will case soon to he tried by our Courts. In discussing legal points he exhibited uncommon vigor of thought andi a very re tentive inemsory. He was complaining of a slight in disposition brought on by confinement and close atten tion to business, which became very laborious towards the close of the present Congress. We hoped the quiet and reposo of home would soon restore him. We are pained to learn that his health is not good. South Carolina will watch with anxious care the decli ning years of this well tried and faithful public servant. God grant that he may be long spared to the people of our State, in whose affections he is so firmly stated. E. THE~ WAR OF TILE GIANTS. The New, and the Courier, of Charleston, are fight ing over the Right of Peaceable Secession. Broad side after broadside have they been pouring into each other for the last week or two in rapid succession. It recalls to our mind, by a partial analogy betweeu the two eases, the fight of the Gurrierre and the Constitu tion, the News representing the Constitution of course. It appears to us, at this distance from the combatants, that the News has been entirely triumphanut and de serves to a'av1 apied toit the following stanzas of the old song which celebrates the famous sea-fight al luded to: The first broad.,ide we pour'd Carried their mainmast by the board, Which made this lofty frigate look abaudon'd, oh Then Dacres (Mr. Yeadon of the Courier) shook his head And to his off'cers said, Lord ! I did'nt think thiselipper was so handy, oh. Our second told so well That their fore and wizen fell Which doused the royal ensign so handy, oh ! " By George," says he, " we're done," And they fired a lee gun, While the Yankees struck up "Yankee doodle dandy, oh!" We dont know whether " Daecres" has yet actually "gone on board To deliver up his sword;" but we think he might as well do so under the palpa ble circumstances of his defeat. We have no doubt he would be treated in as gallant style, as was English "Daeres" by the noble captain of the Constitution, when this latter officer is reported by our poet thus: " Oh. keep your sword," says Hull, Since it only makes you dull, Come cheer up, let us take a little brandy, oh !" Yes, take : drink, father Yeadon, and forget the de feat. It will lie all the same fifty years hence. Seriously, we regard the arguments of the Courier as not only superficial but antagonistic to the most saving elements of our governmental organization; while -the Nets has both reason and facts on its side, and is truly representing the principles and policy of South Carolina. Will not the Carolina press speak out, Yea or Nay ! and let the world see whether or not the Palmetto Staste is ready now, undler the teachings of a Whig and a Filhnore-ite, to yield her long-ehser ished creed of "' State Soureagnty. /We undertake to repudiate, for the 01(1 '9.6 Distriet, any such falling off from the true faith ; and ire doubt not hut that a sim ilar response would come, if it were thought necessa ry, from every Congressional District in the State The Cou-ier is a most admirable paper and its editor a gentleman of high and varied attainments; but ere it is wrong, and the e'Iror is of that dangerous ount of the promopt and efficient manner in which this task has been executed.

The question may be considered set ted. She says : During the cooking controversy which has especial. ly raged in The Weekly Tribune, I have kept silent and learned all that I could from you and the, various inividuals whot have contributed thteir views andI ex periences to that important subjet. But ini thte Tri bune, February 21, a subjee't of equal importance is mentioned in a manner not to be patiently borne by womaly nature-I allude to "hoops." You do not like them; very well; you do not wear them, I sup pose, conse rently you know nothing of their conve niene. If I tell you that a hoop-skirt relieve. the hips and bodf of a load which would be necessary in its absence, you will say, why necessary either with 'r without hoops? In reply, I would ask you how would you like to see the streets of New York City ornamented with women in pantaloons ? And do you not think that they (pantaluons, of course) would be quite as becoming as drapery which shows the figure with every movement? No woman ventures, unless compelled by necessity, into the street when the windl blows, if scant drapery be the reigning fashion. No true man would make remarks abotut the flying skirt., but there are plenty of miserable wretches who would ; and but few high minded women have independence enough to brave the jeers of such creatures. A person can walk with much greater ease with a hoop oven if the same amount of clothing be worn ; there is a buoyancy in the bal loon like structure which is a great relief to all who are unfortunate enough to wear skirts. You say that the Empress Eugenie, for purposes of " hown," first started the, to you, "terriblefashion." Pray, do let the Empress Eugenic's and your wife's, if you have n. .a your ua.gad.' and ewary body's purpos. alone. If women are foolish enough to get married, do please let their dress alone. If they contrive to appear in public one-four4b of a year at a time, do let them do so. COMNUNICATIONS. For the Advertiser.

While myriads joined hosannas loud Which, Mother, thou didst raise ! Dost thou hear me, sainted Mother, When 1 pray in accents wild, To God the great Creator, To deal gently with thy child 1 From thy " home, sweet home" in Heaven, Where bright angels with thee dwell, Thou wouldst teach the truthful lesson, That " Ie doeth all things well!"

SMass,-Dear Sir: You have doubtless learned from the public prints that by an act of the Kansas Legislature, just adjourned, an election is shortly to be held for members of a Convention to frame a Constitution with the view to the early admittance of that Territory into the Union. The Census has already been taken, and all per sons not registered by or before the 15th of March past, are barred from voting in said election. Governor GEAnY has resigned, and ROBErT 3. WALKER, ff Mississippi, has been appointed in his stead. All we ever asked for was a free and fair fight. The Kansas Nebraska Bill guarantied to us that right. Shall we maintain it, or shall we make an inglorious retreat from the field of our own elee tion 1 Sir, we are now called upon to meet this issue. Let us do it as becomes men and Kansas will be saved to the South forever-the rampant once more prevail. We have piedged ourselves, here, in Kansas, and everywhere elste, to admit Kansas with whatever Constitution she might adopt. No doubt now exists but a Constitution of some kind will now be adopted. The peop~le arc tired living without law and protectionl for their livcs and property, and will vote for anything rather thtan have a re currencee of last year's troubles. Fromt my own observations and all the information which I have been able to gather fronm other sources. I am coni fident that our party will succeed. if the South will only be true to herself we arc sure of it. Let us then be up andl n-doing. Early in thme cuommencement of these Kansas troubles, Messrs. krcemsoN, STaIsayit.uW, Ries SELL, Ati)Xflsos and Blooss were al11,ointed by tme whole South as an Executive Conmmittee to manage everything pertaining to Kansas. Well and nobly have they discharged the trust imposed uonl them. They have mtainetainted large Colo nies of emigrants, supjplied arms and anmmunition for ant army, a:.d that in great part at their own epenise. Thte Commiit tee lhad solemn assurances given thmem by the whole South that they should be sustained in their hour oif trouble, and at this, mot(re than any other time, they need the redlemup tioni of this pledge. They have apepoinetel and com~issionued moe inu their namue to ausk and receive fronm you a liberal re.,pons~e ton this mtoett reasona ble request. Divin Rica krenisox is Chairmian oif that Coin mittee to whom all commnunicatio'ns sh'uhdilbe di rected. h is name, Sir, alonee is a sullicienet guar antee for any true man of the South. The timue is now at hand when all the enermgies of the South will lbe called into requisition. Will any no~w hesitate to crime to the rescue ? ie who d'nhts nmow iened-e. With confidence they have tlwavs lookede to South Carolina in their hour of extremeset nteed. Let. South Carolina now give them an earnest of her miaternal regard. I know, Sir, that. here. i ol Edgefield, the home and hirth place( of the hamuentedl Enooins, you will all do your duty ;and it is o~nly necesusary to make the call. South Caroulina leas miany sons in Kaunsas who claini your prtetlione--rho still upahohel the institution and p~rinipiles of their native State wherever they Business in contnectio'n with this matter will re qure my pecrsonal attention elsewhere. I would therefore earnestly suggest that a District meeting be called as early as possible-that this matter be fully brought before them, and that initable per. sons he appointed to canvass this District and State. You yourselves will judlge of the fitness of such persons. Put the ball now in motion, and let it roll on until Kansas is rolled into the Union, where all her bleeding wounds will be healed. Address your letters and remit all colletions to either Gen. D. R. ArcuisoN or Col. A. 0. Biooie at West Port, Mo. Respectfully and truly yours, 0. W. JONES. IW A copy of my Commission will be left with the Clerk of the Edgefield Court otn Monday next. Tint COMMERCIAL BANK OF BRUNswWCK.-The Times & Sentinel says : We notice that a corres pondent of the Ch ronical & Sentiuel makes some inquiries as to the character of the commer cial Bank of Brutnswick, and the editors of that paper are unable to answer them satisfactorily. nKowing all the stockholders, we take pleasure iimparting our information to the public. The Commercial Bank of Brunswick was char tered hy the last Legislature with capital stock $100,00, all of which was taken and is now owned by Messrs. Henry Moffet, Charles J. Moffet and P. J. Phillips, of Columbus, Ga., and Messrs Thomas G. aloffet and George N. Phillips, of Brunswick Ga., and Abram Pillips, of Ste...t conntyeogan,. all of whom are regarded as men of business capacity and strict integrity and are worth not less than $4000, and are liable, individually, for the debts o/the Bank,-by the terms of the charter. We are reliably informed that.$50,000 in g ld has been paid into the vaults of the Bank. The bills are redeemable at the Bank of Savannah, Georgia. With these facts before us, we say emphatical ly that the Bank of Brunswick is not a wild cat, but as safe and solvent a Bank as 'there is in Georgia.-Brunswick Herald. WALKER'S PoSITION AND PRosPECTS.-The following concise statement of Walker's posi tion at the latest dates is from the correspon dence of the New Yor1 Commercial Adyertiser: Walker is strongly fortified at Rivas, and will defend it at all hazards, although he haS only a force of 600 men, and is getting short .of -pro. visions. He is hemmed in with 3000 Costa Ricans, and the States of Honduras, Salvador, and San Jose are furnishing and have forwarded 3000 more to join the Costa Ricans, making a total of 6000 troops of the allied army. Wal ker is in a critical situation, and' un1fss he is immediately re inforced, his chances are small of gaining another battle. He will maintain his position and hold out as long as possible, and his men will sell their lives dearly before they will be taken, as no quarter will be given by the allies. The news that came by the Tennessee was so conflicting that no reliance could be placed on the various reports. What I send now is derived from a disinterested passenger, and you will find it correct. WATER-PROOF TEXTILE FAnRIcs.-Take one pound of wheat bran and one ounce - of glue, and boil them in three gallons of water in a tin vessel for a half hour. 1Now lift the vessel from the fire and set it aside for ten minutes; during this period the bran will fall to the bottom, lear in a clear liquor above, which is to be poured o and the bran thrown away; one pound of bar soap cut into small pieces is to be dissolved in it. The liquor may be put on the fire in the tin pan, and stirred until all the soap is dissolved. In another vessel one pound of alum is dissolved in half a gallon of water; this is added to the' soap-bran liquor while, it is boiling, and all is well stirred ; this forms the water-proofing liquor. It is used while cool. The xtile fabric to be rendered water proof is immersed in it, and pressed between the hands until it is perfectly. - saturated. It is now wrung, to squeeze out as much of the free liquor as possible ; then shaken or stretched, and hung up to dry in a warm - room, or in a dry atmosphere out doors. When dry, the fabric or cloth; so treated will repel rain and moisture' but allow the air or perspiration to pass through it. . The alum, gluten, gelatine and soap unite to gether, and form an insoluble compound, which coats every fibre of the textile fabric, and when dry, repels water like the natural oil in the fea thers of a duck. There are various substances which are soluble in water singly, but when combined form insoluble compounds, and vice versa. Alum, soap and gelatine are soluble in water singly, but form insoluble compounds when united chemically. Oil is insoluble in water singly, but combined with caustic soda or potash it forms soluble soap. Such are some of the usefnl curiosities of chemistry. - Seientife American. WE HEAR BiT ONE REPORT from all who use Perry Davis' Vegetable Pain Killer, and that is, that its wonderful power 'in relieving the most severe pain has never been equalled. A YoUNG LADT SLANDERE.-At the recent Cpurt of Common Pleas for Greenville District there was a case of slander-a foul slander, on a young, innocent and beautiful school girl, just verging into womanhood. She brought her ac tion, lyher father, in vindication of her charac ter, and a Greenville jury awarded her the sum of four thousand dollars. We hope this verdict will show the world the estimate put on female character by a Greenville jury. The defendant was a man of ,roperty, and hc fled the countrT, with his fatmilv, liut the verdict shall overtake hin. Not one dollar of which, however, is the . plaitiff disposed to touch; laut her counsel have not the same delicacy of feelig or repugnance to the touch of the defendant' money. After be appropriated to variously piatriotie and ,char itable purposes, without offending the de-licacy of any one. The slanderer must be punished.

Pittsburgh, I hav-e for sometime back cnsi~deredl it may-duty. antd made it my business, to moke those articles known wherever I went antong my friends. A short timne ago I became acquainted with the case rof a young girl, who seemed to be troubled with worms and liver complaint at the same timte, and had been ruffering for somne two month% . Through my persuasion she purchased one bottle of Dr. M'Lae's Vermifusge, and one box of Liver Pills, which she took according to directions. The result was, she passed a large quantity of worms, and thinks that one box more of the Pills will restore her to per: feet health. Her name and residence can he learned by calling on E. L..

I was attacked with dysentery, and it soon became very distressing; I used this medicine according to the directions, and was cured in three days. My wife was also attacked with pain in the stomach, in consequence of eating tod soon after a fit of sickness; she was re lieved in a few minutes after taking this medicine- To use her own words, she said she felt the pain remove after she bad taken it, as quick as you could see a lump of sugar dissolve in cold water. My son was brurt so badly the skin was of; I applied the medi cine immediately, anid It took the fire out ad henled the wound in less time than I ever saw one healed her.. fore. One of my children fell over a chair and bruised its head very bad, but the bruise was soon dispersed by bathing in this medicine. I will mention one case more of its wonderful effect in curing awound inflicted by my son's falling out of doors and cutting himself badly; the pain was soon relieved, and the.- wound healed by this medicine. In fact it is the best family medicine I ever used for the cure of colds, coughs, and a number of other complaints incident to the human family. PERRY M. PECE HAM, Pall River.
