It is believed that Mr. Carpenter, cf Dutch Flat, Calv did not for au instant suspect that there was going to be an at? mospheric disturbance when he knocked 1 the ashes out of his pipe on tho head of a pow'der keg. But when tho fragments I of him were put into a bag and carried to his late residence, Mrs. C. merely re? marked: "AHub the luok; hang him up on that peg over the door, where the rats can't get at him." . The "India rubber bustle" is ogain heard from. This time it was a Brook? lyn young lady, who was thrown from ! her "carriage coming down the hill from Prospect Park.

The publio interest excited by tho ex? pression of a lady's faoe when she sits down on a strange gentleman's hat in oharch, says Blimber, is what plunges many a Christain female into a vortex of inaudible profanity.

According to the state? ments of the officers, tho company was chartered and organized for the purpose of uniting and protecting the interests of lines belonging to it, and for the crea? tion of a great Southern Trunk Line from New York to the principal points in the S?utb. Among the oompanies embraced in tho combination, are the Richmond and Danville, the North 'Carolina, At? lanta and Riehmond Air Line, the Wil? mington and Weldou, the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta, the Charlotte, j Columbia and Augusta, the East Ten? nessee, Virginia and Georgia, the Mem? phis and Charleston, the Richmond aud Petersburg, tho Petersburg and Weldou, the North-eastern, and the Cheraw and Darlington. Through these several com? panies, the combination controls, in the route from Washington to Memphis, tbe portion between Bristol and Memphis, composed of the East Tennessee, Vir? ginia and Georgia, and the Memphis and Charleston railroads. Two routes, con? trolled by it, diverge at Richmond, Va.; one, the Richmond, Atlanta and New Orleans Air Line, composed of the Rich? mond and Danville, (including part of its North Carolina division,) the Atlauta and Richmond Air Line, Atlanta and West Point, Western, of Alabama, Mo? bile aud Montgomery, and the Now Or? leans, Mobile and Texas railroads, is the shortest line from Riehmond, Va., to Now Orleans, Lv The conneotiou is now made via Augusta. Tho other, the Great Atlantio Coast Line, is composed of the Richmond and Petersburg, the Petersburg and Weldon, tbe Wilmington and Weldon, the Wilmington, Columbia aud Augusta, the North-eastern Railroad and connections. The Secretary states that the Atlanta and Richmond Air Line, under construction, will be finished by August 1, aud trains will fun from New York to Atlanta in forty hours, and from New York to New Orleans in sixty hours. The company intend to extend their lines Westerly, so ae to connect with the system of railroads no* in course of construction in Texaa, and in the autumn to establish their general of? fice in New York, and to open an emi? grant bureau to facilitate the transporta? tion of emigrants to the Sonth, and the development of the country through which'the Southern Trunk Line extends, f Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel.

The committee and the able counsel before it on the part | of the State wero probably wise in1 adopting the course they did, of keep* ing from the public the drift of the tes? timony adduced until it should be pro? per to give the same. This is well. Bat we may, perhaps, in a lauduble zeal to be fully up to and alivo to the somewhat dull times for news, he allowed to give' rumors, considered to be well founded, as to the bearing of a point or two of I the important testimony given by the first witness, which is, in fact, but an endorsement of many things that have | been expressed?more than have been hinted at. Regarding the sale and trans? fer of the Blue Ridge Railroad stock I owned by the State, it is reported there' has been most important testimony given. To go into the intricate minntiro of the workings of rings regarding this corporation at the present time, is not our purpose, but merely to refor to what is stated to be the sabstance of cx-Gov. Scott's testimony. Singularly cuough, this ex-officer, if reports be true, gets continually in a moro agreeable aspect as he is drawn out by official investiga? tions. It is stated that the 13,100 shares of the stock held by the State in the Blue Ridge Railroad Company (as has been stated before) w?ro Bold for 81 per share, on condition that the buyers I should fulfill certain stipulations, among I whioh was that the floating debt should be paid in niuety days, which would have included the 0220,000 that was a kind of an eye-sore; that $10,000 per year should be paid by the contractors to the State, and that the Blue Ridge Rail? road should be completed in five years, etc., etc. None of these conditions were complied with; yet the contract has not been declared null and void. Why? Be? cause, by Act of Legislature, (in the bill known as the sorip bill,) the acts of the Sinking Fund Commission were con? firmed,* and, if said bill is constitutional, the defects of their transactions cured. The faet is, the Secretary of the Sinking Fand Commission was tho custodian, by virtue of another office he held, of the I Block of the Bine Ridge Company held by the State. It is also reported to ua, as appearing in testimony, that the wit? ness, at one of the meotiegs of the Sink? ing Fund Commission, spoke to the Sec? retary of the meeting, stating, in sub? stance, that he, the Secretary, had omitted in bis minutes of tho previous mooting some of the important condi? tions upon which the stoak was to be disposed of; that a request was made, and a draft of 'the corrections drawn up, in witness' own hand-writing, to have the minutes properly corrected, and that at a subsequent meeting tho minutes were oorrected, bat bo as to appear as if the corrections were additional condi? tions, and not those at first fixed upon. Then, you know, it was only 13,100 shares, a dollar a share, if these condi? tions were complied with. They were not complied with, as subsequent events have shown, and, of course, the question the committee want to find out, and that everybody asks, is, who's to blame? It is simply this?that if the General As? sembly had not overlooked or cured (that is, if th?Act is constitutional) the defects growing out of a non-compliance with tho contract regarding the payment of the floating debt, giving the bond for faithful performance, .fco., the 13,100 shares of stock would now belong to tho State, by reason of a total non-compli auoe of tho conditions of its transfer. If the conditions had bocn complied with and faithfully carried out, it would have been probably benefioial to both the road and the State. "It is a very loDg lane that has no turn." The Oldest Biule.? The famous Ma zarin Biblt, so oalled because it was dis? covered in the library of Cardinal Maza rin, was sold in London a few days ago, at public auction.

It is oue of the finest books and rarest in tho world, and one of the finest as weil as earliest specimocs of printing. It was sold for the enor? mous sum of JC3.100, ($17,000.)

The Edgefield Advertiser announces the death, on tho 25th, of Mr. Lovett Go mdion, who was wounded by Mr. Ar? thur Glover, about ten days ago. Fob the Cholera ?More than forty yeara ego, when it was found that pre? vention for the Asiatic cholera was easier than cure, the learned doctors of both hemispheres drew. up a prescription, whioh was published (for working peo? ple) in the New York Sun, aud took tho name of the "Sun cholera mixture." Our contemporary never lent its name to a better article. We have seen it in con? stant use for a number of years, and found it to bo the best remedy tar loose? ness of the bowels ever yet devised. It is to bo commeuded for several reasons. It is not to be mixed with liquor, and, therefore, will not be used as an alcoholic beverage; its ingredients are well known among all the common people, and it will have no prejudice to combat; each of the materials is in equal proportion to the others", and it may, thcrofore, be compounded without professional skill; and, as the dose is so very small, it may be carried in a tiny phial in tho waist? coat pocket, and be always at hand. It is: Tincl, opii, capsici, rhei co , month pip.^campho. Mix the above in equal parts; dose, ten to thirty drops. In plain terms, take equal parts tincture of opi? um, red pepper, rhubarb, peppermint and camphor, and.mix them for use. In case of diarrhcoi, take a dose of ten to twenty drops in three or four tea-spoon - f uls of water. No who one has this by and takes it in time, will ever have the cholera. Wo commend it to oar West? ern friends, and hope that the recipe will be widely published. Even when no cholera i3 anticipated, it is an oxoellent remedy for ordinary summer complaint. The Amerioan Public Health Associa? tion, at the head of which are some of the moBt prominent medical men in the country, have issued a ciroular contain? ing suggestions as to tho most available means for arresting and preventing the fatal prevalence of Asiatic oholera or ma? lignant oholera in this country; From j this oironlar, whioh comes to us through Dr. B. Lobby, Sr., the health officer of the State, tho following hints and sug? gestions are taken: "To combat and arrest the progress and prevent the epidemio prevalence of this scourge of sanitary negligence, it is necessary that the inhabitants of every oity and town should promptly resort to the most effectual purification, aud the best known means of disinfection, and j that this sanitary cleansing and prepara j tion should be at onoe and very tho 1 roughly carried into effect?before any I oases of cholera occur?aud that in the ! presence of tho disease these sanitary duties should be enforced in every house? hold and throughout the entire district. Experience has proved that the best way to prevent both pestilence and panic is to know nnd prepare for the danger. It i3 the only way to deal successfully with cholera." After enumerating the local conditions that chiefly promote the outbreaks and propagation of cholera, such as foul cellars or drains, decaying animal aud vegetable matter, unventilated and damp buildings, &o., the ciroular pro? ceeds to insist upon the necessity of per? sonal cleanliness and tomperanco to in? sure health. The disinfectant recom? mended by tho circular is composed of oight or ten pounds of sulphate of iron (copperas) dissolved in five or. six gal? lons of water, with half a pint of crude carbolic acid added to the solution; and briskly stirred, makes. the cheapest and best disinfeoting fluid for common use. It can be proonred in every town and by every family, and if the carbolic acid is not at band, tho solution of copperas may be used without it. The circular, after reiterating the ab? solute necessity for cleanliness and the immediate disinfection of all matters discharged from the stomach and the bowels of the patient, conoludes with the following hopeful paragraph: "From being the most feared and de? structive pestilence, oholera has become entirely submissive to sanitary measures of prevention, and can now be controlled with such certainty and completeness as to prevent its ravages as an epidemic. Believing, therefore, that the people of tho United States will wisoly apply the suggestions which ore given in this me? morandum, the committee presents them for tho purpose of hastening and making sure the most extensive, thorough and I speedy control of this destroyer."
