WAS 1T INSTINCT OR REASON. The Provi-
dence General Advertiser relates the following
dog story, which is most marvellous, though
seemingly well authenticated
A True Dog Story. A day or two since, a
pointer dog was trotting along one of our prin-
cipal streets, when he CHANGED to espy leather
case upon the sidewalk. The sagacious ami
NAL picked up the article, and straightway
started Oft at brisk pace apparently in pur-
suit of its owner. About this time, DR.. Nc
Knight, one of the most skilful homeopathic
ply sicians in this city, happened to be seated
in his carriage, directly in front of the What
Cheer Building. Suddenly, the aforesaid dog
unceremoniousy jumped into the carriage, and
deposited his prize at the doctors feet. On
examination, it was discovered thar the case
contained variety of homGQpathic medicines.
What renders the affair above related some
what mysterious is the fact that the dog who
is the hero of the tale, was perfect stranger to
DR.. Mcknight.

Won't Go for Scott.

The Ashvile. N. c., News, a staunch
Wing paper, repudiates Scott and goes for
Pierce and King. The editor explains his DO
sition thus:
We advocated with all the sincerity and
candor, the nomination of Fillmore. He is
tried and trusty statesman-one whom the
people know and could rely upon to admins
ter the governernment justly. The Baltimore
Convention met, an honest man and able states
man was forced aside-a vain, week, and am
bilious man was foisted upon the country, by
Northern votes exclusively. Honesty of pus-
pose, purity of life and holiness of intellect,
were weighed down by the glare of military
fame, and Northern abolition rides triumphant
over Constitutional Rights We have seen
many of the most intelligent men at the South
abandon the nomination. In our o,on town
county and district, hundreds of Wings, old
and young, high and lou, ,ciH cast their uotes
for Peirce and King. Why is this Because
they know, and every unpreJudiced man will
have an opportunity before the election to be
fully convinced of it, that General Scott is only
puppet in the hands of men, who would, to
effect their purposes, destroy this government
In carrying out the declarations made in our
prospectus, which is sort of compact between
our subscribers and ourself, we TODAY run
up the names of PIERCE and KING.

present position on that subject we are perfect
ly satisfied. Although in the canvass, viewing
matters in light different from that in which
he any many others of our whig brethren saw
the issues of the canvass, we differed, that is
past. And as we claim honesty and good
purpose 10 have actuated us, so we are willing
to admit that our friends were influenced by mo-
tives equally pure. Human judgment is fallia-
bic, and while we are liable to attribute error to
others, it may be well to reflect that possibly we
may have committed the error ourselves. 1t is
told of man confined in a mad house, that,
upon being asked by friend who visited him;
"what he was doing there?" he replied; I thought
the world was mad and the world thought me
mad, but they having the majority have put me
here" We have not even this consolation in
the matter. The majority is decidedly against
us, and in favor of those who thought with Col.
Gentry and the other wings who refused TO sup
port Gen. Scott. They may be right. Let us
at least wait and see.

From the Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel.
COPPER MINE IN TENNESSEE

In the last Dalton Times we find the follow
ing notice of a Copper Mine in Polk co., Tenn.
We are informed that the indications in the
vicinity of this mine are very fattering for still
further and very valuable developments Of Cop
per Ore:
Another ecidcnce Of the Resources Of tie
S0uth.-Every few days our streets present a
lively appearance from the influx of wagons,
loaded with Copper Ore, on its way to n. York.
This Ore, we understand, comes from the Hi
wassee mines, located in Polk county Tenn,
about five miles from the State lines of North
Carolina and Georgia.
The region Of country is a primitive forIna-
tion, aud abounds in minerals.
The veins run longitudinally, III series of
hills, in \ orth East and South West direction;
they being spur of the Allegheny range Of
mountains.
The ore is principally Black Oxide Of copper,
Welding. we understand, from ten to seventy
per cent of pure metal.
The Black Oxide is found at a distance of
about forty feet from the surface; the vein here
being fifteen feet wide, on an average. Below
the stratum of Black Oxide, the vein gradually
increases in width, as YOU 90 down, and produ-
ces yellow sulphuret of copper. Several hun
dred tons have already been taken out Of the
mine.
The company is constructing plank road
from the mine, down the bank of the Oconee
river, to Cleveland,
So soon as this is completed, the amount sent
forward to market, will be largely increased.
This mine is worked by a company from the
city of New York. The mining operations are
under the supervision of an able minor from
Cornwall.
We understand he has had much experience
in the mines of Mexico, Cuba, Cornwall, and
the United States and pronounces the prospect
here, to be equal, if not superior, to any he has
ever before seen. We have long been familiar
with the fact, that we had vast mineral resour-
ces in our neighborhood; and it is a humiliating
reflection, that these sources of wealth remain
undeveloped, except by capitalists from abroad.
Were our beds of Iron, Coal, Marble, Copper,
&C., located in a section of country, where peO-
pie have enterprise enough to work them, they
would prove to be sources of wealth, far beyond
the expectations of those who have never esti-
mated their true value.

The Itch Cured IN Three HOurs.-Dr. Bazin,
physician of the hospital Saint Louis of Paris,
introduced not long ago notable improvement
in the treatment of the itch, since he succeeded
in curing the disease in two days by general
fictions with sulphur ointment. DIR. Hardy,
who succeeded DIR. Bazin in the Scabies wards
of the same hospital, has, however, considerably
curtailed this already short time; he cures his
patients in two hours. The method is deScrib
ed as follows:
Patients are no longer admitted into the house
for the treatment of the itch, as two hours suf
flee to render contagion impossible and the re
covery almost certain. The patient is put into
a warm bath, and rubbed for an hour with yel
low soap; he then passes into a clean bath;
where he continues to cleanse his skin for an
other hour. After leaving this bath he is taken
to particular room fitted for the purpose, and
with the aid of one of his fellow-suferers, he is
rubbed all over for half an hour with the follow,
ing ointment: Axunge eight parts, flour of sui
phur two parts. carbonate of potash one part
After this friction, the patient is examined and
sent away cured, though sometimes pretty nu,
merous vesicles on the hand and elsewhere
remain unaltered DR.. Hardy states that out
of one hundred cases he has hardly had two OF
three relapses. The number of itch patients
had considerably diminished, as none are now
turred away for want of room; and the disease
has thus spead with much less rapidity.-LOn

Jerome Bonapdrte and Louis NapoleoH.--
The London Morning Chronicles correspondent
gives the following item:
This morning the ex-King jerome, aecompa-
MED by his son, Napoleon Bonapart. went to st.
Cloud, when the ex-King declared to Louis Ma
poleon that he felt the exclusion of his family
from the succession as so great an insult to him
self and his son thathew determined toresign
not only the Office Of President ofthe Senate, but
that Of Governor Of the Invalides, and the ONLY
dignity lie would continue to hold was that of
Marshal of France.
Louis Napoleon endeavored to calm the irri-
tatlon of the old man, and to induce him to
change his mind He stated that although he
and his family were not to be mentioned in the
Senatus Consultun, they were not, therefore, ex-
cluded from all hopes the succession. He
Louis Napoleon) would still have the power of
adopting Napoleon Bonaparte, if he should have
no family of his own-and his intention was to
do so, if he showed that he was deserving of the
trust, and could, by his conduct, gain the conf
dence Of the country. Louis Napoleon added,
that in the meantime he was willing to place
Napoleon Bonapart in a position Of trust ard
dignity
The affair remains in this position for the
present-but understand that the ex-King pre-
sists in his determination to resign both of the
Presidency of the Senate and the Governorship

leaps from the heart in clear sparkling rill,

now lost, now found? We have. And we are
pursuing that wandering voice to this day
Sometimes it comes to us in the midst of care,
of sorrow, or irksome business, and then we
turn away and listen andit is ringing through the
room like silver bell, with power to scare away
all the i'll spirits of the mind How much We
owe to that sweet laughl 1t turns the prose Of
our life into the poetry, it filings showers of sun
shine over the darksome wood through which
we are travelling, it touches with light even our
sleep, which is no more the image Of death, but
gemmed with dreams that are shadows of immor-
tality.

Louis Bonapdrfe, Emperor.-How instruc-
tive and admonitory are the lessons of history.
if practically applied How often does it hap
pen, in the cycle of few years, that the wisest
and strongest combinations fall a prey to I'M
| toward circumstances or unforeseen eventsl But
yesterday it were, (what are thirty-eg ght years
in the history of time?) the combined powers of
England and France shivered to atoms and re-
duced to cipher the proud monuments of Ma
poleon's empire. Time rolled on-Govern-
ments Were convulsed-Europe wrapt in social
and political evolutions-England alone re-
naming steadfast;-and in a brief spasmodic
cOnvulsion of the elements of Repubicanism'
in France, another Empire is proclaimed a sec
ond Bonaparte placed on the throne! 1t were
we'll for statesmen to ponder with solicitude, on
the vast difference in the present posture Of the
various European and Continental Governments,
from what it was in l8l0-I5. The general
spirit of the age is different. International ties
are different-the voice of popular commotion
is more potent-the "stil small voice of consci-
ence" less persuasive. The basis of interna-
tional comfy has been widened, if not weaken
ed. The objects of commercial aggrandise-
ments more extending and vet more dazzling.
The pressure of crowded population-eager
for change and bold for revolution-has broken
uoNu OI tue IOTlner DatlleS Nnlcn Snlelu-
ed the strong arm of power. England holds
her colonies and rules Ireland with less impos-
ing sway. Commerce, and the reflective infu-
ence of American Republicanism has impaired
new zeal and kindled new hopes in every niche
and corner of the civilized world.
Now are these reflections less interesting to
the people of the United States. Here, too, the
rude shock of wild progress has weakened the
influence of past admonitions. These wise and
salutary lessons of experience are, in part, IA
ding from the recollection of our people, to be
followed by Jacobinical associations and foreign
entanglements.
Our great men sleep in the tomb. A new or
der of things, and new class of men, 'hrule the
day." Progress is the watch word, and foreign
territory the object, of too many of the would-be
statesmen of the United States. The salutary
lessons of the "Father of the Republic are
disregarded Any measure that is supposed to
be popular, right or wrong, is but too eagerly
seized hold of This, we fear, is the rock on
which we are to split. Experience gives way
to impulse.
But we are not extending beyond what we
designed, which was to remark that the French
Empire, headed by Bonaparte, had wrongs to
avenge, insults to wipe out, and that no means
would be spared to accomplish both. How far
this is to affect America we will not now consid-
er, We SHALL however, return again to the sub
iect-Richmoad Wing.

Adrice to Wires.-A wife must learn how to
form her husbands happiness-in what direction
the secret of his comfort lies; she must not cher
ish his weaknesses by working upon them; she
must not rashly run counter to his projects
Her motto must be never to draw largly upon the
small stock of patience in mans nature; not to
increase obstinacy by trying to drive him
never, if possible, to have scenes. doubt much
if a real quarrel even if made up does not loosen
the bonds between man and wife, and sometimes
lastingly. IfirritatiOn should occur, g woman
must expect to hear from man a strength and
vehemence of language far more than the occa-
sion requires. Mild as well as stern men are
prone to this exaggeratiOn of language. Let
not woman be tempted ever to say anythinl;
sarcastic or violent in retaliation. The bitteress
repentance must needs follow such an indulgence
if she does Men very frequently forget what
they have said, but seldom what is utterd By

Hullihan, of Wheeling, Virginia, has discovered
posed nerves may be successfully plugged up.
1t is this The diseased parts of the tooth is re-
moved to make it apparent that the nerve is ex-
posed The fang is perforated through the gum
into the nerve cavity. The opening should be
about the size of small knittingneedle; its OBJ
ject is to open the blood vessels of the nerve,
which viii at once be known by the flow Of ar
terial blood. The cavity of the tooth may then
be filed without the least fear of pain or i'll con-
sequence. This plan has been successfully
practiced in a great number Of eases. Hitherto
a tooth having an exposed nerve could not be
filed andpreyent pain and toothache.- Seieatif-
