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

Courier says :
Gerritt Smith, a notorious abolitionist. ,
and I believe a genuine philanthropist, in
his way, has been letting out some curious 1
facts as to the free negroes of the North.?
Mr. Smith being a man of large means, gave

three thousand negroes, upon which they
were to live and show the world their eapac
ity fur usefulness and independence. The
donor, hi a letter just publisehd, confesses
with chagrin that his expectations were
not fully realized. lie continues in this <
strain :
41 Of the three thousand colored men to
whom I gave land, porbsbly less than fifty
have taken and continue to hold possession 1
of their grants. What is worse, half of the
three thousand, as I judge, have either sold (
their land, or been so careless as to allow it to
be sold for taxes."
Surmises.? 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

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.

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. Threo milos in the distance, the

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.

FEVER AND AGUE?CERTAIN CURE.
No more use for Tonic mixtures, Quinine, Fow*
ler s Solution, Arsenic, Mercury, or any of the
villiano'.i* or nauseous compound?, which only
relieve? one disease to implant another more
peadly, and which sends its unhappy victims
finally, with a wrecked and broken constitution,
to aa early grave. Tr? CarJsr'i Mixture,
which contains none of these dangerous
drugs, but oures by noting specifically on the
Liver, purifying the blood, and strengthening
the system, thns enabling nature to recuperate
its exhausted energies by opening the pores of
the skin, and expelling from the body all impn>
ritiea and old medicines, which clog and retard
its free operation. More than one thousand p?ri
sons have been cured by Carter's Spanish Mixture,
after every thing else had signally foiled.
As a sample of Its remarkable effects. Messrs.
Davis A Hicks, of Autaugaville, Ala., writes us
that it cured a gentleman of Chronic Fever and
Ague, which all the efforts of physicians end
their remedies could not subdue. He oply took
three bottles. They ??y It,sells very rapfdly,
sod maintains its high reputation al) through
the country.
