BOWEL COMPLAINTS


During the PRESENT Summer Bowel Complaints are unusu.
ally prevalent; and in localities of very alarming
type. In Greene Chenango county N Y, very peculiar
form of disease prevails which battles the skill of the physi
clans. 1t there called the Bloody Flux" and in some
instances fatal in few hours 1t said that in no
has child recovered from an attack In many places
the Dysentery is carrying off great numbers.
II will be remembered that the Asiatc Cholera was pre-
ceded IN us visit to his country by extraordinary tendency
to Bowel Complaints 1t was frequently noticed that fru
vegetables and the like which in other eaten
with IMMUNITY, produced serious results and that derange
ment OF the stomach and bowels followed the slightest rreg
widely known and felt
From very early period of the worlds history the class
human life In all tropical countries carries off more
persons than other form of disease whatever and in
temperate regions the same may be said with almost equal
truth Children especially are its victims.
WITH regard to the treatment OF D. sentey great diversity

ms disease tor the last two centuries, this diversity PAIN
In ady which frequently runs its course with fearful
rapldy, the principles upon which the disease and
the medicines to be administered cannot be too definitely
derstood at the outset There is time Tor reading or ex
pertinent Death follows delay.
We have been cOnvesant with these diseases in various
parts OF The Tropics especially in Batavia and can safely
that he who shall furnish the world with a reliable med
cine for them will be public benafacor.
We are happy TO bear decided testimony the extra

Yesterday man was brought before Recorder
Genos accused by a carpenter, in the employ Of
the First Municipality, of having stolen lumber be-
longing TO the Municipality, from the Levee. The
evidence was positive the carpenter had been to
the house of the accused and there identified the
lumber, and the culprt sent to prison TO await
an examination. He had scarcely left the Court
room, when two beautiful girls-not beautiful in
the vulgar sense, but with faces full of gladness
and intelligence-enereda and asked for their father
"Who is your fatI.er! asked policeman.
Mr.. -" the eldest replied, naming The
man just committed to prison."
He is in prison"
The poor creatures burst into tears, and amid
their lamentations, the Recorder descended from
his seat to inquire the cause of their grief They
soon found that he who was addressing them had
sent their father to prison. They beseeched him,
they prayed him to let their father CO. and promised
he should never do anything bad again. They told
him how they loved that father, how fond and how
careful he was of them, and that they had no mo-
ther-no other relative A man accustomed to the
scenes of Police Court, in time becomes callOus,
but long as Joe Genois has been sitting in that
Court, he yet has a tender heart. 1t is more diff
cult to touch perhaps than it was years ago, but it
lie still there, and when reached, as sensitive to the
appeals of misfortune anil virtue as ever. His
eyes were moist the poor creatures implored his
mercy, but he forced himself to deny their prayer
They left the room down-cast and with breaking
hearts, but they were young and instinct with hope,
and they returned to repeat their applications for
fathers deliverance. Again was it vain, but again
did their aI love urge them on, until they melted
the magistrate 10 thean, and their fathers liberia
ton was ordered; not, however, without admoni-
ton that the name and the happiness of his sweet
children were in his hands, and deserved from him
an honest and upright life. Not one in the Court
but was relieved by this act of grace, and as the
father and children returned to their homes, we
could not but think Recorder Genos was happier
man than he had been for many day.
Mercy and truth preserve the King and his throne is
upheld BY mercy"

OF Tomorrow night the friends of Gen. Taylor
in this city intend to celebrate the anniversary of
one of his most brilliant vctores-the capture of
Monterey-by grand torch-light procession. Al
though being of party character, many persons
will consider themselves precuded from joining it,
still we hope that those who have the direction Of
the affair, viii spare no effort to make it worthy Of
the great event it is to commemorate. Notwith.
standing the activity Of their opponents, the De-
mocrats are by no means idle, and we are glad to
see that the apathy which has heretofore character
lied the campaign is rapidly passing away. The
organization of both parties is nearly complete, and
they have gone to work in earnest, each confident
of success so that from this time until the election
we may expect any quantity of excitement-meet-
ings, professions and speeches.

HEALTH OF THE CITY perceive in many
of the up-rver papers very exaggerated accounts of
the prevalence of yellow fever in New Orleans.
These stories purpOrt to be derived from travellers
just arrived from this city, who to delight in
torturing credulous imaginatons by their frightul
romancings. We can say to our friends up the
river, that although our city is not as healthy
might be desired, still there is no very alarming
epidemic existing here at present. The daily re-
ports of inierments show that the yellow fever is
rapidly diminishing, and we may confidently expect
that in short time ii will be entirely extinct

SUGAR IN ALABAMA-We have two specimens
of sugar cane, says the Mobile Register, grown on
the plantation of Col Darlington, in Clarke county
-one from the bottom lands near the river, and the
other from the pine ridge near his residence. The
former has fourteen ripened joints and the latter
nine, and both are of luxurious growth. Other
planters in that vicinity are renewing experiments
in the growing of cane, which were tried unsuc
cessfully some sixteen or eighteen years ago. The
frosts were too early, though we recolect that
or two seasons were favorable, and the production
was abundant

DIsCREDITABLE, IF TRUE.-A Madrid cores
pendent of the Morning Post, tells the following
story, on the authority of person on whose word
he can place confidence. A foreign nObleman,
officially resident at the Spanish Court, and who is
young man, was much struck with the beauty
and grace of young dancer at the Circo Theatre,
the Madrid Opera, and by dint of looking through
his orgnete, fell desperately in love with her. The
diplomatist, at first, assailed her with the usual
temptations, but the batlarind as virtuous as she
was pretty, refused money! diamonds, equpages,
and even a splendid establishment. Her coyness
only added fuel to the Counts passion and touched
his vanity to the quick. All other expedients be-
ing exhausted, he offered to marry the Spanish Pa
mela, and was accepted The Ambassador then
ventured to repeat comedy which was acted in
the reign of Louis XIV, between celebrated singer
and beautiful Marchioness. He disguised two of
his creatures in the costume of priests and had an
altar erected in his own house /; a mass was cele-
brated, and the Count and his Dulcinea were pr-
vately married. But the new-made Countess was
allowed to remain at the Opera, and, much to the
irritation Of her proud Andalusian blood, still con-
tinued TO pirouette on the stage. AT length the
truth Oozed out, and tears, reproaches threats of
suicide, &C., followed. King Leopold was soon
afterwards made acquainted witt the disreputable
story, and, though the Count only left his post on
months leave, it is not expected he will return.

FIRE IN NAsHvILLE.-About 3 o'clock, on the
afternoon of the 14th inst, fire broke out in the
First Presbyterian Church, a large and handsome
edifce, on Church street, and before the engines,
which were promptly on the spot, could get fairly
at work, the whole building was one sheet of fame
The fire communicated to the house adjoining,
owned by Mr.. Carter, and two other buildings i'm
mediately below it, which were, with the church,
entirely consumed. A high wind was blowing at
the time, and fears were entertained that it would
extend over great part of the city but, through
the eIertions of the fremen, it was kept under.
The whole loss is estimated at $50,0OO-about one
half insured. The telegraphic wires, which ran
along near where the fire was, and which brought
dispatch containing intelligence of the fire, are
said to have been red hot nearly all the time the
communication was passing through

THE WEATKER.-Some persons may like the
weather we have during the past few days but We
must express our decided aversion to it. 1t is toe
cold for summer, yet not cold enough for winter,
and is just the kind of weather to produce colds
and coughs For those persons who are i'll, it is
extremely dangerous, yet to the unacclimated it
must be very acceptable, as if it continues any
length of time it will drive every vestige of
yellow fever from the CITY,

The ARMY WORM IN FAIRFIELD.-We I'M
derstand that the Army Worm, which was so de-
strucye to grass and green crops during the months
or July, August and September, in I845, have
again made their appearance at Wnsborough and
in other parts of Fairfield, and are very destructive
They have already destroyed fields of grass, and
sweep everything before them. If the drought
continues, they will in all proba billy attack the pea
crop, and in that way work much injury to planters
We have not heard of their attacking cotton as
yet.-COlumbid South CarOliaian, I5h inst.

OF In regard to Geographic dispatches received
by the Eastern line, the Courier has the following
which is strikingly in contrast with our experience
'We perceive that several Southern journals
complain that their Geographic dispatches come to
them much mutilated and indistinct. We find it
different Almost every thing that reaches us, late
ly, comes as plain and readable as if conveyed in
letter by mail We have, of course, to supply words
in most cases, it being too expensive to write out
fully-but the substance is connected, and general
lV explicit"

MORE FEAR OF THE SHERIFF THAN THE DEVIL.
A lad about IL or Is years old appeared yesterday
as witness in case examined in the Second Mu-
nicpality Police Court, and was Intercepted by
the District Attorney to his knowledge of the ma
ture of an oath. The Attorney asked him
"What will be the consequence to you, if you
take false oath--what will become Of you, if you
do not tell the truth, after taking an oath %
will be sent to the Penitentiary." Nothing
else 20 "No"
