EuREgA.--Such is the name by

EURERA.--Sucn Is the HhHiS Ny
common consent bestowed On the New
Mineral Springs, lately discovered
near Burlington, The Eureka Springs.
When the public shall have become
awakened to the fact that there is no
mineral water in the Southern country
superior to the Eureka" as q curat
tive in chronic diseases, we look TO
see Eureka" as great place of re-
sort, as Saratoga. Why not have a
great Southern watering place in the
summer months! We can see no
reason. Then, when Southerners 60
North, they can meet the Northernsrs
coming South, and it may do much to
keep the Cracked" Union from split
ing at Dixon's line. The impression
prevails now--and will no doubt con-
time that if Southcrnef can only
y
20 North in the summer months, that
there Is perfect security for the time
being, from death. But mag we not
ask do not people get sick in the
North, and do they not die--not IN
hundreds, but in thousands ? VIII not
The sanatiye condition Of the "Cres.
cent with its epidemic, compare
with the life tables of Gotham ? We
think SO.
When a place shall be found where
there is perfect security against dis
eass, and daath, we shall advise every
body 10 60 there Now, however
chances for life are about equal
al over the Globe.
There is much good argument in
favor of the position that life, is an
unnatural condition result of O
struggle against death. Every thing
conspires to kill us; the very atmos-
phere of Heaven, which we breath,
contains the elements of destruction
and death. -
Does any one suppose for moment
that if Eureka or Cooper's Wells, OF
Mississippi Springs, were fixed up, u
with all the attractions of Northern
watering places, that our people would
fly off and travel 1900 miles in the
sun, to 60 to other places No, moth
ing of the sort, the beautiful Magno
liza groves of the sunny South coult
be made more attractive-than tht
cold and dreary wastes on the othel
side Of the line, where there is nOthin,
more attractive than "the million witt
crowd about the Southerner with out
stretched hands-for two shillings.
THE FUGITIvE SLAVE CASE A.
PHrLApELPHIA-The case of Georg'
Smith, who was brought before tn
