Ship Load of Elephants.

The bark Regatta arrived here yester-
day, from India, freighted with nine living
elephants, zebu, or Burmese bull, six
teen enormous serpents, including brace
of Demonstrators of "a and 16 feet in
length, besides wilderness of monkeys,
the fretted porcupine, and other live rar-
mints, all consigned to Messrs. P. T. Bar
mum and Seth B. Howes, intended for the
great Museum Caravan to be exhibited in
Newark on Tuesday, the 9Th One of the
most curious features of this Noah's Ark
collection is a calf elephant, about nine
months old, and weaned from its dam on
the passage from Ceylon, being but three
feet high, and as docile and playful as a
kitten. Another is one of the native
chiefs of Ceylon, who accompanies the
show in charge of the elephants This
enterprise, the greatest, probably, since
the days of the Flood, has been conducted
and brought toa successfulissue by Messrs
Stebbins, June and Geo. Nutter. The
elephants were hunted and caught in thei,
native jungles by Messrs. June and Nutter
accompanied by 160 of the natives. Their
capture was effected by driving $50 o.
them into kranl, or rude pen, constructed
in the jungle, out of which they succeeded
in securing thirteen-two having died or
the passage, and another being stolen from
the drove. The Regatta has made hel
passage home $4,000 miles) stopping a
the Cape of Good Hope and the Island Of
St. Helena, in 112 days. The elephant
hunters were three months and four day.

Cold Water and Health,

The following says the Baltimore Sun,
is Mrs. Swisshelm's direction, in the Pitts
burg Visitor, as to how lady should wash
herself. 1t occurs in long article to
young ladies upon the necessity of clcanli-
ness and the free us, of C I'D water, as
promoters of health, youthful bloom,
strength and spirits. AS We have before
said, it is good practical advice, which,
doubtless, the experience of many excellent
ladies will endorse, prudes to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Those who need the
advice should apply it, and thank Mrs. S.
for it.:
"You only want a basin of water, a
towel, a rag, and five minutes time. When
you get up in the morning pin petticoat
very loosely at the waist, draw your arms
out of your chemise and let it drop to
your waist, take your rag well wetted and
slap your back and shoulders, rub your
arms and chest, throw handfuls of water
around your ears and back of the neck
Then throw towel across your back and
"saw' it dry-rub fast, until you are quite
dry, put on your chemise sleeves, draw on
night gown to keep you from chilling,
while you tuck your skirts up under one
arm, until you wash and dry one limb,
drop that side and do the otler likewise,
and be sure that the small of the hack and
the sides get their full share Of rubbing,
this done, sit down, dip one foot in the
basin, rub and dry it,put on your stocking
and shoe and then wash the other"

said, have done extensive injury to fruit

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-On last Sat
urday forenoon, the youngest child Of Col
Eli Slifer of this place, a son aged about
nineteen months,was accidentally run over
by two-horse wagon, loaded with tam
bark, and instantly killed The child (Which
had wandered into the street but a few mo-
ments before) approached on the opposite
side from the horse on which the driver
was seated, and the wheels were passing
over it before any person was aware of its
danger. The horses were going at a slow
walk at the time, and no blame attaches to
any one. The universal sympathy felt for
the bercaved parents was manifested by the
largest concourse at the funeral on Sabbath
afternoon, that we ever witnessed here on
any similar occasion.

nNrThe Constitutional Convention of
Virginia has been greatly divided on the
question of a basis of representation. The
Eastern or .slave-holding portion insists
upon the present plan, based upon whites
and blacks both, while the West or nom
slaveholding portion ask that whites only
shall form the basis. The Eastern portion
now hold the majority of members. Mr..
Bolts and few others from the east, have
proposed compromise, giving the East
and the West an equal number of men,
bers of both branches of the Legislature.
The three systems were recently submitted
to popular vote in the City of Richmond,
by way of testing the general feeling, with
the following result:
Mixed basis $50
White basis 3S5
Compromise 232-1177.

An ANNOYING AccIDENT.-The ST
Louis Intelligencer says that few days
ago, ga lady living on Biddc street, be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh, was engaged
before ber mirror in going through her
toilet exercises when the glass suddenly
receded from her as the entire front wall
of the building parted company with its
neighbors, and with tremendous crash
fell into the street. The lady, in utter
astonishment at the suddenness Of the
motion, was left standing in dishabille,
though, singularly enough, entirely unin-
jured. In consequence of the recent gra-
ding of the street, the earth beneath the
wall had been partially removed, and its
sudden giving way was the cause Of the
accident"

work. 1t will be done probably in much
less time than has been spent upon the
present road, as charters are now existing
through the intelligent and comprehensive
action of the Pennsylvania Legislature, for
roads which it is designed shall accomplish
that purpose both for Baltimore and Phil
adelphia. Elmira, n. Y, a point consid-
erably east of Dunkirk, is the spot at
which the intersection may be made, a
road coming thence to Williamsport, Pa,
to which point the contemplated Sunbury
road from Harrisburg is to be extended,
and with which our own Baltimore 4 Sus-
quehanna, and York & Cumberland roads
already connect Thus, besides reaching
the great anthracite and bituminous coal
fields in Pennsylvania, through which the
Sunbury road is to pass, the Baltimoreans
have grand ultimate connection in pros
pect, which must needs induce them to
subscribe as literally as possible to the
latter work. This subject should not be
lost sight of by our capitalists and enter
prising business men.-Bahimorc iSun.

of those whom have classed among the democrats

We give below the final action of the Convention
held at Charleston, the 9Th. 1t indicates action
separate State action, Unnecessary, rather than submits
sion.
Hon. j. L. Orr moved the resolution reported
by the minority a substitute, as follows:
Resolved, That feeling entire confidence in the
Constitutional organs of our State Government,
and the wisdom and fidelity of the Convention
elected under the passed at the last session of
the Legislature, we are perfectly willing to leave
to them the mode and measure of redress for the
wrongs we have suffered from the Federal Govern
ment, as well as the time of its application and
without indicating suggesting the course it be-
moves them to pursue, we hereby pledge our
selves to abide by their action, whether the same
shall be for secession from the Union, with or
SEhout the cooperation of the other Southern
States.
The motion was rejected by a very large ma
jority.
The resolutions of the majority were then taken
up and were voted on separately as follows
J. ResoIved That in the opinion of this meet
ing the State of South Carolina cannot submit to
the wrongs and aggressions which have been per
petrated by the Federal Government and the Nor
them States, without dshonor and ruin; and that
1t Is necessary to relieve herself herefrom wheth
er with without the cooperation of other South
ern States
10 this resolution there were five dissenting
voices.
:. hat concert of action with one more OF
our sister States of the South, whether through
the supposed Southern Congress, or in any other
manner, IS an object worth many sacrifices, but
not the sacrifice involved in submission.
Adopted unanimously
3. That we hold the right of Secession to be es-
senta to the sovereignty and freedom of the States
OF this Confederacy and that the denial of that
right would furnish to an injured State the strong
est additional cause for its exercise

DIED at the rectory of Christ Church, Church
Hill, Jefferson County, Miss, Mrs. SUSAN Town
sHEND, late wife of the Rev. B. NJ MILLER, in the
Saith year of her age.
She one of those kind and gentle beings
who endeared herself to all who came within the
sphere of her influence. In all the relations of life,
as wife daughter, sister and friend, she was emf
nently exemplary. Her intellect was naturally
strong, and it had been improved by constant cul-
tivation still its strength was yelled by so much
modesty, that itrequired close intimacy to discover
it, and none but those who knew her best could
justly appreciate its power.
AS a christian she faithful, jealous without
being obtrusive, humble, charitable and always
affable Her life was one illustration of the .per
feet beauty of true holiness In her childhood
she dedicated herself to God and her piety burned
brighter and brighter as she grew in age, until
extinguished by death.
She had lived in our community only one year,
but in that short time she had won all hearts !;
every body loved, respected and admired her, and
it may be consolation to her distant friends to
know, that although in land of comparative
strangers, still she was tended with untiring ASST
duty by many, who loved her as well as those
she left behind her.
Her early death has inflicted deep sorrow not
only on those near to her, but upon our whole
community. 1t would seem inscrutable why one so
pure, SO good, SO holy should be taken from earth
where her influence diffused blessing, were the
mystery not solved by the reflection that our Faith
er IN Heaven has but called her to a brighter and
a better home therefore we bow in humble sub
mission and say, Father, not ours but thy will
I be done. %
We can but grieve for our church in the loss it
has sustained, and deeply sympathse with those
with whom she was nearly connected /; to them
her place can never be filled. AS was to be ex-
pected, life so holy terminated in peaceful and
happy death, and her last expression was whs-
pered ''amen" to prayer for resignation in the
hour of adversely. offered up by her afflicted
husband.
| We have placed her in the "cold. no not cold,
but warm ground, where the little seed springs
into the beautiful flower, and good people are
turned into angels. S
