KICKED OvERBoARD,-We learn that man by
the name of Patrick Fender, a fireman on board
the steamer Creole, which arrived here on Thurs
day, was kicked overheard near the mouth, by the
engineer of the boat, whose name is Savage All
the particulars that we could learn are these the
fires got down, and the engineer, upon looking into
the cause, found that Pender, one of the hands on
duty was absent He hunted him up, and it is
said found him engaged in changing his clothes,
which had been wetted by the rain, He'then COM
menced beating Fender, and in the seuiae gave him
kick which knocked him overheard. Every ex-
ertion was made to save the man; the boat was
stopped and several persons at once got into the
yawl to go after him, but unfortunately of them
jumped into it with much force that he broke
the bottom, and it sank and came near drowning
four men. We presume the matter will be more
fully examined into.-Rsd RiUer (AieEandria)

LINEN Us. CoTToN-A medical gentleman has
just come overfrom the Continent, who advocates
the wearing of linen next the person, and flannel
to be worn over the linen. This is not altogether
new, for an elderly gentleman who reached the
age OF n years, had accustomed himself to this
practice, and preserved robust health to the very
last The cholera, il has been remarked, passed
very leniently over the linen, compared with the
viruency with which 1t visited the cotton districts
abroad; nor was this altogether from the relative
conditions of such localities, for let any one, when
overcome with lassitude of mind, and body, put ON
a new linen garment and he will experience an
instantaneous invgoration of the nervous system,
which can only be accounted for by the fact, that
linen is one of the worst conductors of electricity

sand dollars and is growing better and richer every
foot that it increasesin depth. Such copper mine

the month Of June, 1850 the people of Natchez
and OF course we and others with them, will have
connected chain of telegraphic communication
with all three important points named above and
other points intermediate. The amount of stock

Here, too, we have been visited in most
dreadful manner by this disease. For twenty-one
days it regned supreme. Business, dancing, gam.
bling ETC., etc, all had for once TO knock under to
the sweep of the pestilence. Some Il50 persons
died in the space Of twenty-one days. For three
days the deaths were upwards of lGo parsons. But
three foreigners died one of them DR.. Grove, who
married d. Poucher. The cause of the greatest
mortality here was the great filth, scarcity of phy-
sicians, and the lack of medicines. Not one quar-
ter Of The most simple remedies could be Obtained.
There was only ten pounds of camphor in the place
which was sold as high two dollars per ounce. -
