Tu* Largkst Giant in tub Wobip.6onw weeks ago we gave a few facta in regard to the weight and dimensions of Miles Dardeto, who died in Tennessee, and was said to he tlie largest man in the world.? The Jackson Whig has the following additional particulars of the deceased, furnished by Rev. John Brooks: 44 lie w%a twice married. His children are very large, but probably none of them Will ever bo more than half the weight of their father. He was onile aciive and lively, and labored until al?out four years ago, when he became so fleshy that he was compelled to stay at home, or be hauled about in a two horse wagon. 44 In 1830 he made a contract with a tailor to furnish hiiu a suit of clothes for $50 ?the cloth was to cost $5 per yard. Upon measurment it took twelve yards of cloth.? So the tailor lost $10 and the making. The tailor states that three men/each weicrliino o & over two-hundred pound*, put the co:\t on, buttoned it around them and walked across the square at Lexington. In 1850 it took thirteen and a half yards of flax cloth, a yard wide, to make him a coat. It took sixteen yards of cambric for his shroud, twenty four vardB of black velvet to cover the sides and lid of his coflin, and one hundred and twenty-five feet of plank to make liis coffin. His coffin was eight feet long; across the breast thirty-two inches; across the foot fourteen inches ; its depth thirty-five inches. He weighed in 1846 eight hundred and seventy-one pounds. Ilia height was seven feet six inches. His weight when he died, as nearly as could he ascertained, was a fraction over one thousnnd pounds." Nots to Crack.?Abolitiondom is down on Gerritt Smith for telling tales out of school. The N. Y.

Says the Washington corres- , pendent of the Charleston Mercury : 44 There is solicitude of an earnest charac ter in this city respecting the course to be pursued by certain statesmen of the South on the subject of Governor Walker's career ( in Kansas. Messrs. Brown, of Mississippi, Stephens, of Georgia, and Toombs, of Geor- 1 gia, are understood to be determined to deal < gently with the President, if they can do so, ( and denounce Walker at the same time; ( but Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, and with j him Mr. Bocock, of Virginia, and others, are by the politicians in this region expected to 1 denounce, without respect to consequences. The best we can hope for is, that the troublous times of Kansas may be over before the next session of Congress shall commence. Mr. Bocock's position, it is well understood, .. will not be more conciliatory toward the ^ Administration on this subject than that of Mr. Keitt or any other South Carolinian." 1 New York, August '20.?Additional by ( the Arabia.?The following additional in- ? telligence is among the advices received by the Arabia?Liverpool dates to the 8th 1 iustant. s The Emperor and Empress of France f have visited the Queen of England.

His "Still Catawba" is pro- lOunced a very superior wine by connois- c leurs in such matters, and to all his various 1 Drand* is the highest praise given. l An election to fill the vacancy in the Leg j islature occasioned by the death of Col. t Mum, comes off" to-day. The contest is lie- 1 tween William M. Whaley and T. O. Hark- i er. The latter is a young lawyer, twenty- [ live years of age, and gives promise of use- I fulness and talent. His youthfulness is ad- a ' I III' ?anced M a strong reason for opposing him by some; but as be purports to be the candidate of Young America, be will stand a fair chance by the side of his more experienced competitor. Another fire securing on the same squnre on Calhoun street, mentioned by mo a few weeks ago, has again leveled to the ground some eight or ten dwellings. It happening al the same hour of the night, and in an unoccupied dwelling, conclusively shows it to have been in both instances the work of incendiaries. A serious affray took place on Saturday afternoon on Sullivan's Island, between neve ral young men from the city and a party of: Irishmen. Sword canes, knives and brickbats were freely used, and several were dangerously wounded, besides tho numerous indentations made by Paddy's shillalah.? One of the Irishmen and a Charlestonian. a conductor on tho South Carolina railroad, were stabbed in many places, and both seiiously hurt. It occurred on the landing at the ticket office, where an Irish official disputed the passage of some one who was en titled to pass, and after some words he struck the young man. Upon this he was immediately joiner! by a large party, and though outnumbering the Charlestonians by four to one, they were decidedly worsted.? Upon the arrival of the boat this morning, it was ascertained that several of them were lying very ill from their wounds. As you will see by the papers, a lino of steamers from here to Liverpool is projected, and Mr. Adger invited to take tho helm.? It is proposed to build a bridge or landing >ut to thirty feet of water. If this landing s built, and a line is started, this depth of ivater is guarantied to the owner. The Coumbia, a new steamer belonging to the Chareston and New York line, and which has or some lime been running on the Collins ine from New York to Liverpool, and making capital time, and.though a large ship, can flow quite easily pass the bar without the , i i:.: i i ? < - ' hiuiiKinai uepui 01 water wiulM u is intend d to add for litis spoken of line. It is ask d, and very sensibly, why, if these steamers ire capable of crossing the ocean from New foik, and can cro^s our bar, they can not s easily be run fioin hereto Liverpool. A ine of this kind was started in '52, and the south Carolina, a most niagnifieienl steamsr, made the first and only trip, as ships >f her size drew -too much water for the bar ind she was compelled to be sold. It is nueh to be hoped that we may live to see splendid line of steamers plying fiom here i> England. S. Sori-cspopOcpce of ihc ?pielrprl3e. AfotsTA, Ga., Aug. 24th, 1857. V. P. PHICB, ESQ., El)ll OR ^OUTIIBRN Entkrpuisk : Dear Sir?In company with several iends, amongst whom were Mr. \V. II. Iovey and Mr. Chas. T. Hammond, I left rreenville on la^l Thursday for this place here was quite a number of strangers on I oaril the cars homeward limoul I suppose, from h pleasure seeking visit to ur beautiful mountains. We bad altogether a pleasant trip to this lace, notwithstanding the rough joltings ve got on the way between Ninety Six and idgefield Court House. I will venture the sserlion that there is not a more uneven oad in the whole State than this, through le same extent of territory, and as suseepli le of improvement in this respect. The age driver, who, by-lhe way, is quite a lever fellow, did bis duty well. As we eared a past ott-ce on the route, he would find the merry bugle horn, which remindd one of the days of staging between the rost interesting points through the country. 11 those day9 the stage driver was the hero f daring adventure, as was our driver when e recently rescued a lady from eminent eril in forJing a creek when it was greatly wollen by the incessant rains. Passing by old Ninety Six, I could but ;el sad when I looked out upon the waste nd barren spot?now but a couple of houses emained where one? struct o inKin#. .. g own. This whs the rallyin^r point for the Vliigs in the upper part of Carolina during lie war of the Revolution?and a fierce and loody engagement took place between hem and the Royal Troops on an adjacent ininence.. llere, too, for many yearn, the cales of justice was held bv an even hand, or the benefit of parties litigr.nt in ibo up>er portion of the State. There is mueli of listoiic interest thrown around this place, tnd it will ever remain associated with the arly struggles of our country for freedom. Vt length wo reach Edgefield Court House ?passing the beautifully hi ranged reaidenes of Chancellor Wardlaw, Col. Carroll, Dr. kValUo and others, we are in the heart of he village?crowded with vehicles, <fcc., and iresenting the appearance of a busy and lourisbing place. We took tea at the Nicholas Hotel, and had the plenaure of neeting with our friends, Maj. Wtlght, a iracticing lawyer of this place, and C. M. Sutler, Esq., who is now a disciple of Blacktone. Mr. Nicholas keeps a good table, r"',r ' and i? quite accommodating and obliging to bis gueeta. We had only stopped about tlirce-fourtbe of an hour, when the Aogueta stage drove up to the door. It was already dark, and twenty seven miles lay between us and our destination, but we had an accession of numbers to our party, and from the jocular manner with which a corpulent German, or Jew, was received at the hotel by his acquaintances, we saw at once we could find in him enough wit and vivacty to keep us awake. It turned out as we expected, and what with Anecdote and song, he beguiled away the hours quit! pleasantly. Who could have looked upon his good-natured face, heard his playful sallies of wit. and witnessed his efforts to rmke his fellow-passengers cheerful, and thereby soothe the tedium of the ride, and then feel a shade of prejudice towards a foreigner f We came about one o'clock in sight of Augusta.

K ts stellation of stars, and a* wo near tliev increase in number until finally, they rise upon tbo sight in all their beauty nnd brilliancy. Augusta is doing a thriving trade, and I am told by the merchants that business is more brisk than it ever has been for this season of the year. The tailroads and the river affords facilities for trade which no other city in the State possesses. Whilst in Hamburg, on Saturday, I had an opportunity of seeing the new and splendid engine upon the South Carolina Railroad, " Preston S. Brooks," with a most excellent likeness of the lamented deceased, and also an admirable portrait of the venerable Judge Butler, deceased. It is the largest engine on the road, nnd is the pride and ornament of the same. On the same day, in company with several friends, I attended a baibecuo at Col. Hammond's Mills, about one mile above Hamburg. It was given by Col. Ilammor.d to his numerous friends. He has several hundred acres of fine bottom land on the Savannah river, and the road to the barbecue ran through it. Almost one hundred acres was planted in cotton, nnd I should judge it averaged from four to five feet high. The balance, as far as I could see, was waiving with the most choice corn. It was, indeed, a charming sight. About two o'clock dinner was announced, and the numerous invited guests repaired to a close wooden shade to partake of a most sumptuous entertainment. There were several dis tinguished gentlemen present to join in the conviviality of the occasion and to enjoy the many good thii gs so temptingly spread before tliem. Returning early in the afternoon, I was just in time to be at tny hotel, the United Slates, to take a ride with a friend to the sand hills, some few miles from this place. We took the plank road and went out of town by tlie Augusta manufactories. 1 had ne\ conceived of the magnitude of these manufactories. Two large and handsome buildings, four stories high, propelled by water brought from the Savannah through a canal for many miles. The canal is large enough lor flat boats of considerable size, and I noticed they weie in u?e upon it. Several large flour mills ami oilier machine ry is also driven by the same water. Soine three miles we reach the sand-hills, where many of tho wealthy resort to spend the winter and summer, away from the bustle and noise of the city. As we ascend the lulls ft tine view of the city is presented. It is spread out before the eye like n grand, varied, and beautiful panorama. There are some of the handsomest buildings I have ever seen out on these hills, and the grounds around are most admirably and tastefully improved. The chief beauty of the sandhills are the buildings of the Military Institution. It is situated on an eminence, with wide-spreading oaks in the immediate front, forming a magnificent shade, and for nearly n half mile a beautiful lawn, carpeted with green grass, streaches out down a gentle and scarcely perceptible declivity. The buildings seem to be admirably adapted fcr the purposes for which they were erected. The shades of evening reminded us that we must return to the city, and in doing so we drove by the Commons and the Cemetery ; the former are a vast level tract of country, bought up by the city authorities, and used as a parade ground, and as a general resort for the citizens on pleasant afternoons. The Cemetery is also quite a resort for the friends of the deceased, whoso remains are here interred. In entering it, I noticed a good many ladies dressing up the grounds and pruning (lowers around the graves.? Some were seated down and weeping over, perhaps, the remains of a dear mother or father. Other graves were freshly strewn with (lowers, showing that the memory of the dead still lived in the hearts of surviving friends or relatives. I noticed, in particular, the grave of a Revolutionary soldier, John Martin. His record on the tomb stated that he was in the war against the Cherokee Indians, in the year 1765, and received a wound in the head by a hatohet; that be served throughout the war of the Reyo lutiob, tttwfrlh 1843, mi the advanced age of 105 Jtaiarslf A Urge cannon ||wm placed with (he motith downwards, at the foot of the grave, an^'l was told by an intelligent-looking stranger that the deceased soldier had assisted in using -that same cannon in the war last tpentioned. In conclusion, I am now back at my hotel, and will not take you with me in another ramble, as 1 should judge you were, by this time, tired enough. More anon. Yours truly. BENNINGTON. NEWS ITEMS.
