* Ire njurtjnft anoouncs the death of an esteemed
Mbv citizen. Col. J. Charles Blum.
# Fbr aoNfthree weeks he had been suffering
from what seemed a cold, but the disedfre
fulling upon his lungs, terminated his
existence on tbe night before tho last at 1
o'clock, in the siOth gear of his age. He
exhibited great patiftftee under his suffering,
and singular fortitude and composure in
nrospect ot his approaching end. The painful
fact of its approach was known to hiin
for more than twenty-four hours before it
occurred, and for one who was impulsive?
who had much to render tho prospect attractive?who,
with health and constitution
unimpaired, had com* to the attainment of j
almost e^ery object of his earthly ambition?
fortune, friends, a home, and public confi
dence?it was strangely interesting to sec
the cheeifulness and composure with which
he looked upon it.
The deceased has acted an important part
in the business affairs of our city. He entered
early into public life, and devoted him- ,
self so clo?cly to business as to lay the
ground work of an ample fortune ; but notwithstanding
this, he had attention and cn
orgies to sparo. He leJ his company, the
German Fusiliers, in the Florida war; for
mx years ne lias been a member of the State
Legislature ; for ten years Vio has been Colonel
of the Sixteenth Regiment of South
Carolina; he has contributed much to im
prove the city ; he has for many years been
a leading Director in the Bank of South
Carolina ; and as an oflicer or active member,
has been connected with ninny of the
industrial and charitnblo institutions of the
city.
In the social relations of life, Col. Blum
was highly cherished, and many will feel
his loss, and many will preserve and consecrate
his memory.? Charleston Standard.
Wii.l our Government Sustain* the
Monroe Doctrine I?Now thntGcn. Walker
has been expelled from Nicaragua, the
imbecile Republics or States forming an alliance
against him, having no longer a common
interest to bind them together, invite
John Bull to step in and settlo the difficulty
to the satisfaction of all parties?that is by
converting them into British possessions.?
Walker has planted the seeds of progress,
in that part of the American Continent, and
they will bring froth fruit, either to the glory
of our own LJnitod States, or to that of
Britain, unless our Government shall firmly |
adhere to the Monroe doctrine. Already has
Britain trespassed on this continent too far. !
She must bo met with tho Monroe doctrine, i
and made to regulate her policy 011 this <
side of the water, accordingly, at all hazards, i
If the late news from New Grenada he f
correct, and we see no reason to doubt it, 1
then the United States have already a case-1
in point, ami Mr. Cass will reflect the senti- ,
mcnls of this section of the Union, if he J
should givo his orders to John 13ull to disgorge
peremptorily, or lake the conseqtien- c
ces. If Great Hritian continues to push her .
policy forward in Central America, and the .
Government will do nothing to arrest her .
onward inarch, then let us do away with
our neutrality laws, for to ndhero to them Sl
in Such a case would he the sheerest folly. *
Wo love to cultivate the arts of peace with J'
all nations ; hut we have long learned to be '
lievo that the only way to keep on terms of
peace with John Hull, is to he prepared to a
whip him the moment lie gives cause, and Q
not wait for diplomatic courtesies. He has } ^
got to be such a thief and robber, ho should j n
not be treated to that re-pect wo would ac-1

As Incidknt.?A Washington correspondent
writes that the speech of the Hon.
Jeftorson Davis, lately delivered at Vickshurff,
was shown to Mr. Buchanan the other
day, probably with a view of sounding
him on the Cuba question. " One at a
time," said Old Buck, "one at a time. We
have tue Central American question on
hanjJ now ; then the New Granada affair
comes up, and so on. Cuba can wait; she
^ must take the turn." Mr. Buchanan then
carefully folded the paper, and handed it
back to ita ov.rcr.

Tub Tvosrckw?Bum dam called us to the
TtinneU on Thursday last; while io the
morning, and at noon, we had a few
moments of leisure, we picked up the follow*
ing intelligence from a friend as to the progress
ot the work on the line, which, we
have no doubt, wRl be gratifying to all of
our renders. At Loinar's old contract, Mr.
Sliarpe is operating energetically, with some
fifteen or twenty hands, and is, as we are informed,
mating good progress. Mr. Mayhew
has resumed the work of the construction
of the culvert over a prong of Cane
Creek, which passes through the contract of
Mr. Sharpe. Mr. Jones, who is the contractor
for the building of the Saddle and Middle
Tunnels, is progressing rapidlv, and will
soon be able to commence Tunneling, as his
approach is nearly completed. Mr. J. J.
Smith is at work on tho heavy fill at the
approach in tho east end of the Tunnel.
This is heavy work, but he is making good
progress. Shaft No. 1 is not only heading,
but.to grade, and they are, in this shaft, tunneling
both east and west. We were in
funned that the east end of the Tunnel and
Shaft No. 1 will be united during the present
year. The other shafts are well worked,
and some of them will soon reach grade.

Tub Ohio Fugitive Slave Case.?Judge
Leavitt, of the United States District Court,
(sa^s tho Cincinnati Enquirer, of the 30th
ijit.,). yesterday grantod the petition of habeas
corpus, prayed for by the United States
Marshal, against the Sheriff of Clark County,
commanding him to produce forthv/ith
before liim the bodies of the ten Deputy
Marshals of tho United States, who aro now
detained prisoners at Springfield. Tho writ
was dispatched last evening by a Deputy
Marshal, and the return will probably be
mado to-day. If the writ is not obeyed and
the Marshal will apply for attachments, they
will be executed at every risk. It is his determination
to sue out the warrants against
all tho parties, including tho Jud^e, Sheriff,
and every individual implicated in tho resistance
and violence against the United
States Marshals.
Tho Marshal has already tho names of
seventy of these parties, and he is taking
steps to ascertain the names of others. They
will be arrested and dealt with according to
law. All national men, who regard the
laws of tho country and the dignity of tho
Federal Government, will cheerfully proffer
and render their aid to the Marshal in the
performance of his duties.
Tho Marshal, we learn, telegraphed to the
Secretary of tho Interior for instruction?
lot that he had any hesitations' as to the
:0urse which ho ought to and will pursue
n the affair, but that he might have the
ull sanction of tho Executive for all his
ii ensures.

To Keep Hotter JIahd and Cool.? A
writer in the Scientific American recommends
to the ladies a verv simple arrangement,
for keeping butter nice and cool in
the hottest weather. Procure a large new
lower-pot of sufficient size to cover the buter
plate, and also a saucer large enough for
.he flower-pot to rest in upside down ; place
i trivet, meat stand, ^sucli as is sent to
he oven when a joint is baked) in the
saucer, and put on this trivet the plate of
[ utter ; now fill the saucer with water, and
turn the flower-pot over the butler, so that
its edge will be below tbc water. The hole
in the ilower-pot must be fitted with a
cork ; the butter will then l?e in what we
may cat! an air tight chamber. Lot the
whole of the outside of the (lower-pot he
ihen thoroughly drenched with water, and
place it in as cool place as you can. If this
he done over night, the butler will be as
" firm as a rock," at breakfast time, or, if
placed there in the morning, the butter will
be quite hard for use at leA hour. The reason
of this is, that when water evaporates, it
produces cold ; the porous pot draws up the
water which in warm weather quicklv evaporates
from the sides and thus cools it, and
as no warm air can now get At the butter, it
becomes firm and cool in the hottest day.
Thb enormous increase in the manufacture
of whiskey in the West, within the
past few yeais, is attracting considerable attetion
at pressent, on account of the purposes
to which the product is applied.?
Much the largerfprlion of it is DtygDufactured
into alcohol, the shipments of Which to
France have been enormous. A Cincinnati
paper states tbat only a few days a go 10,000
barrels of alcohol was sold to one boos*
in New Orleans, intended for shipment to
France.

Air-Line Railroad.
Messrs. R. B. Duncan, S. D. GoobLrrr,
and John \Y. Gkadt, were, at a recent meeting,
held at Anderson C. II., of the Corporators
of the Air-Line Railroad Company,
appointed Commissioners to open books for
subscription of the capital stock of said
Company, at Greenville C. H., on the first
Monday in July next, and to be kept open
until the first Monday in September.
Stone Honse.
By reference to our advertisingcolumns, it
will bo seen that Mr. Young ha9 opened this
well known house for the reception of compa
ny. We speak from our own knowledge when
we say that he keeps a most excellent table,
furnished with the best eatables the country
and markets can afford. Near by is a good
mineral spving, the qualities of which are
said to possess great virtue. Those who intend
spending the summer in Greenville
would do well to give him a trial.
Puff! Puff!! Puff!!!
If anybody wishes to enjoy a puff at a
good cigar, just let him call at Mr. Furstf.niieim's,
in the jewelry store of Messrs.
Bailey ?fc Owen's, Goodlett House, and
try some from the choice selection which ho
has on hand. We acknowledge the present
of a box of his best?have given them a
fair trial, and pronounce them good. He
will pleaso accept our thanks.
Besides the large stock which he already
has on hand, he will, in a few days, have a
large addition of some of the best brands.
He sells both at wholesale and retail. See
advertisement.
The Circus.
The circus held forth two days and nights
in town this week. Tho Caravan left on
uivaiinigf iiilU UUT J'lUCO IS DOW
comparatively quiet. We attended one
night, and can ?av of a truth that we witnessed
better feats of horsemanship than j
ever seen hv us before in any traveling circus.
The elephant performed a good many
antics, and exhibited great sagacity. The
Aerial Ascension on a wire two hundred feet
long, extended from the top of the centre
pole of the tent to the ground, was probably
one of the most startling feats which has ever
been offered to this community.
Panorama of New York.
We were kindly invited by Mr. J. S.
Njciiol6, a few evenings since, into MclJee's
Hall, to take a view of a portion of his panorama
of the metropolis of the New World.
This magnificent painting commences with
\ bold and accurate view of Coney Inland,
oine miles from the city, and gives the
principal points of interest between them.
All of the finest streets and most costly
buildings are shown, and ends with a bird'seye
view of the entire city. As a work of
art, this painting far surpasses anything of
the kind which has ever been exhibited in
Greenville. The geographical position of
New York, the immense commerce which
whitens its harbors, and its station amongst
the great cities of the world, gives interest
and importance to this admirable painting,
apart from its merit as a work of art.
See advertisement, in another columD.
Fourth of July.
We notice preparations are making in rari
ous parts of the State to celebrate the EightySecond
Anniversary o? American Independence,
but, as yet, have not heard mention
of any such movement in this District.?
Why is this J Have we forgot the struggles
and toils of our forefathers in battling
for tho independence we now so abundantly
enjoy, and the illustrious examples of disinterested
patriotism, 21s exhibited to us in
their lives and charac.era I When we cast
our eyes around, and tnke a geographical
survey of our country, we sec its shores are
washed on the east by the broad Atlantic,
and on the west by the peaceful waves of
the J'acihc. r roro shore to shore the smiles
of peace, prosperity, happiness and content
inent rest on the land, and we, as a nation,
are recognized amongst the foremost powers
of the earth. l<et us, then, celebrate that
eventful day which gave birth to our liberties
and bear in mind the efforts and sacrifices
which were made to attain them.
A Cooling Shower.
On yesterday afiernoon we had quite a
pleasant and exhilarating little shower of
rain, which, thoogh small, will no doubt be
productive of good to garden vegetables,
corn, Ac. It had been quite dry and warm
for some time, and was much needed. We
understand that the mercury in the thermometer
stood at 96 deg_, in the shade, a few
days since, wbieb was rather beyond our expectations,
although we knew it was " orful

1 8o?th Carolina College.
Tbo exeroieee of this Institution have been
suspended by the Board of Trustees,at their
recent call meeting in Colombia, until the
first of October. At the request of the
Board, the President and all the Professors
resigned their respective offices, in order
that a re organisation might be had. The
resignations were aocepted, and Prof. John
Leconte, Prof. Joseph Leconte and Prof. W.
J. Rivers, wore re-elected to their former professorships.
We were pleased to learn of the election
of that eminent divine and ripe scholar, Dr.
Wbitefoord Smith, to the chair of Sacred
Literature. He would be a great acquisition
to the College. We know of no one
who wculd be more acceptable to the State
than him. It is not jet ascertained, however,
whether he will accept or not.
Mr. L. McCandles, of Camden, was elected
Professor of Roman Literature.
The Board is to meet again on Wednesday
after the second Monday in September
next, at which time a President, and Professors
of Logic and Metaphysics, and History
and Political Economy, are to be elected.
The Faculty aro to appoint from their
number a Chairman to discharge tho duties
of President until the next meeting of the
Board.
A Jaunt Into the Country.
It is always a source of pleasure to us to
visit our friends in the country, whenever
business calls us amongst them, or when leisure
will permit us in so doing. Our short
jaunt of fifteen miles into the country, on
last Saturday, alTorded us an unusual degree
of pleasure?not wholly from the fact that
we met many kind and valued friends, but
in a great degree from the cheering and enlivening
prospects of the crops and tho general
beauty Hnd variety of scenery spread
out on either hand. Tho woods, clothed in
the richest end deepest robes of summer,
the verdant meadows, the fields of blest promises
of plenty, the murmuring brooks, that
leap with music through flower-enameled
banks, and the bright bending skies above,
failed not to swell up in our bosom the most
pleasing and varied emotions. Such scenes
as these are calculated to draw our minds
from the mere contemplation of their beauty
up to Him whose presence fills the immensity
of space, and causes us to realize the
truth of that sweet poetess who said :
??"The silence of the hills
Breathes veneration :?founts and coral rills
Of Thee are murmuring:?to its inmost glade
The living forest with Thy whisper thrills.
And there is holiness in every shade."
After riding several miles on our way
alone, we overtook C. J. Elford, Esq., and
family, who were en route for Paris Mountain
to spend the day. How refreshing it
is, this warm weather, to exchange the heat
and dust of the town, for the cool, invigorating
breezes of Paris Mountain. We passed
rapidly along the road, stopping only a few
moments at the residence of our friend, Col.
I.VNni to IsiL-n n rlmiirrlit itf nml ilnli.
cious water, and soon reached Druton's Old
Meld, where the Saluda volunteers were assembling
for the jmipose of exercising in
company drill. Cnpt. Tally, their commander,
had them early paraded, and went
through many evolutions with credit to himself
as an officer and with . lienor to the
company.
We were familiar with many here who
we remember to have seen boldly step out
as volunteers for the Mexican war, in 1840,
when the Regiment was assembled, for the
i purpose of responding to the call made upon
them. This circumstanco recalled vividly
to mind the scene that occurred nt this
place on that memorable occasion. Old and
young, grave and gay, wore alike fired with
the enthusiasm that pervaded the country,
and overwhelming numbers rallied under
that standard which had waved in triumph
over the battle fields of tho Revolution, and
which overshadowed with its glorious folds
cur wido and prosperous domain. Need we
ever fear the foes of our country, or the enemies
of our cherished institutions, whilst we
have such an intelligent and patriotic citizen
soldiery in our midst I To them we can
confidently look in every hour of danger,
and be assured that their patriotism and
*11 1 - 1 ?
courage win oe equal 10 every emergency
which inay arise.
We close our relation of this jaunt to the
country; anrl, kind reader, you will please
excuse us if its perusal is not sa interesting
to you as was the excursion to us.
iMPALKD ON TIIK UaNDLB Or A PlTCHfork.?Mr.
Peter Koons, a respectable farmer
of Richmondville, New York, aged
about 40 years, went into his barn a few
days since to feed his stock, and, having
thrown some hay from the mow, dropped
his hay fork, the tines fastening in the floor.
Mr. Koons, in descending, lost his holt, and
fell a distance of fifteen feet, striking upon
the handle of the fork, which entered his
body, and passed up through the bowels,
diaphragm and lungs, and was stopped finally
bv the shoulder-blade. He lingered
about forty-eight hours, and died in great
agony.
Tbb New York Tribune says that sixteen
murders have been committed is that city
since the first of April.

Kill*? bt Lmchxs.-?At the village of
Montigny la*Maro, BMr Paris, II. Lalquie,

leeches in n marsh or pom}, whore be was
accustomed to feed ttiem by driving an eld
horse, purchased at a knacker's yard, every
rooming into the muddy water, and allowing
the leeches to gorge themselves at the
expense of the horse's legs. His eon, a boy
of thirteen, used to ride the horse into the
pond. A few days ago, the boy having
gone alone upon that errand, the family
were terrified by the hoise coining baclc
without its rider; its legs were bleeding
profusely and covered with leeches. People
went to the pond to look for tho child, and
rounu inn) immersed mere struggling teehly
to extricate himself from the mire, and defend
himself from the huudred.s of voracious
creatures, which had crawled under his
clothes, (for lie wore neither shoes nor sotckings,)
and had fixed upon every limb of his
body. lie had probably been thrown off
the horse's back by the restlessness of the
tormented animal. The poor boy was oxhauatod
and speechless when he was got
out, and died in a few hours.

Hon. F. W. Pickkns.?It will be seen,
on reference totheannoxed dispatch, (says
the Carolina Times,) that the Hon. F. W.
Pickens has received the appoiulment of
Minister to Russia.
We do not think Col. Pickons can be
persuaded to accept an appointment under
the Government unless it be to Spain, and
with unlimited powers to negotiate and acquire
the Island of Cuba. In truth, we
know he is not disposed to accept any other
appointment.
It is probable the Legislature will, at its
next session, Commission Mr. Pickens to fill
the important position made vacant by the
death of the Hon. A. P. Butler :

Col. Pickens, of South Carolina, has received
the appointment of Minister to St.

at his own request.
Col. Cummings has again been tendered

will aecept.
?>iutte a Mistake.?The Baltimore Re?
publican tells a story of a young man who
fell in love with a young lady residing in
one of the residences in Upper Tendon).?
The lover, fearing a repulse from the head
of the family, conducted his courtship in n
clandestine manner. The upshot of the
matter was, that an elopement occurred, and
the parties were married. After the marriage
the bridegroom proposed that they
should return home, and procure the
father's pardon. Judge, then, of his dismay
when, with a trembling voice, she informed
j him that, although sho possessed the name
of the gentleman in question, she was not
related to him in the slightest degree, and
was employed in his dwelling in the capacity
of a seamstress. Thus all his visions of a
secured fortune were scattered to the winds ;
and the scene of recrimination which ensued
was terribly out of character for a ncwlv
I inariied couple.
Courtesies of Debate.?The Cincinnati
Enquirer (,l Democratic" paper) has quite
a genial notice of an " American" candidate
for Congress in Kentucky, Col. Hanson, and
gives the subjoined specimen of the Colone's
adroitness in extracting himself in a
certain debate where his opponent had obtained
a little advantage in relation to a
matter of history :
Col. Hanson, in reply, said that on historical
and scientific questions?indeed, in
every kind of book knowledge?he had no
doubt that the gentleman was hJs superior
?that he had never been to school nor
taught a school?that he had gone into active
life very early, with an nxo on one
shoulder, and a rifle on the other?unlike
the gentleman, his opponent, who came to
Kentucky, hearing in one hand a spellingbook,
and in the oilier a bridle; determined
to make a living either by teaching a
school or stealing a horse 1
The Baptists on Slavery.?The slavery
question was on Thursday sprung upon the
Ameiican Baptist Association at Philadelphia.
in its most violent form, in a series of
resolutions, of which this one is a sample :
44 Resolved, That the Son of God was
manifested for the purpose of destroying the
works of the Devil, and consequently that
master-piece of Satan, American Slavery,
inust ultimately be annihilated by the truth
of God's word or by the fire of llis wrath."
The amiable and charitable clergyman
who introduced these fire-brands has the satisfaction
of knowing that he excited a very
inflammatory debate and saw all his efforts
voted down. The Convention adjourned

Arrest of Hon. John Wentioorth.?Hon.
John YVentworth, Mayor of the city, was
arrested this morning by the United States
Marshal, charged with having mail bags in
his possession, and was held to bail in the
snin of $3,000. The mail bags were found
ou his premises, but at an examination held
in the afternoon, Mr. Wentworth was discharged
from custody by Judge Drummond.
He decided that Mr. YVentworth, in his official
capacity of Congressman, received the
mail bags, and that unless a special demand
was made for thetn he had a right to keep
them.

Another Remarkable Cure of Sorofala. I
Sparta, Carolink Co., Vs., March, 1854.
Mettr*. Dennett dt Beer*, Richmond:
Okntlkmkn?Your Carter's Spanish Mi-tore
has performed a remarkable cure in the person
of a servant man, afflicted with Scrofula in tbs
very worst form. So bad had he become, that
his eyes were entirely closed, and had been so
for more than a year 1 As a last resort, as everything
else had failed, it was resolved to try
the Mixture. We administered it according to
directions, and, wonderful to soy, a perfect curs
has been effected. I am satisfied that no medicine
equals "Cartor's Spanish Mixtnre * as a purifier
of the blood. It is creating quite an excitcmtnt
here, and soils very rapidly. Send another
lot by Railroad. Yours truly.
