respondence found concealed in Major
Andres boot when that officer was
searched by his captors, Paulding, Will

of our Railroad have held several meet.

been informed, but the result of their
deliberations is to us unknown. There

time of fair prospect that arrange.
ments could be made that will secure
the building of the road. As the elec-
ton of Directors is soon to take place,
probably nothing definite will be re-
solved upon until after the election
We have confidence that the board will
do all in their power for the success Of
the road, and that they will succeed by
so doing we have as little doubt. We
trust that there will be full attendance
of the Stockholders at the meeting for
the election of Directors-such mani
festation of opinion and feeling will do
much in stimulating those who have the
management of the matter. Recollect

NKw YoRK, June 22.-The steamer
Crescent City, from AspinwaIl, whence
she sailed on the 18th, arrived at this
port this morning. She brings the Cal
ifornia mails, with dates from San Fran
cisco to the Gath, and $3.50, 900 in gold
dust, including that in the hands Of pas
sengers, all of which was brought down
to Panama by the steamer Republic
Among the passengers are several re-
turned Australian miners, who report
the prospects in that country exceedingly
favorable.
The steamer John L. Stevenson ar
rived at Panama on the 14th inst, with
81, ,46O, 900 in gold.
The news from the mines is very fa-
vorable; the yield this summer promises
to exceed that of any former season.
The agricultural prospects are fine,
and the crops will be abundant.
The California Legislature adjourned
on the 18th ultimo.
Advices from Oregon to the ed ult.,
say that provisions were plenty in the
southern towns.
Business was active at San Francisco,
and large demand existed for the inte-
rior and for Oregon. Notwithstanding
prices of the leading staples were de-
pressed and tending downwards.
The steamer Northern Light, with
dates from San Francisco to the 1st inst,
arrived at New York on the Gath. The
transit over the Isthmus was effected in
forty hours.
A private letter from San Francisco
says that the day the steamer sailed
duel was to take place between Senator
Gwin and ]. W. McCorkle, member of
Congress. Weapons, rifles; distance,
thirty yards. The cause of the difficult
ty is said to be disparaging language
used by Mr.. Gwin in reference to Mr..
McCorkle. The friends of both parties
had tried every means to settle the mat
ter, but their exertions had proved inef-
fcient. Mr.. Marshall acts as the friend
of McCorkle, and William Dameron, a
naval officer, as the friend of Gwin.
The transactions in provisions and
breadstuffs at San Francisco, for the
week ending the 99th May, were large,
and at the close, provisions were slightly
better Flour was less firm and trade
lower. Inspected GaIlego is quoted at
S1O,87 to S11. Mess Pork is held at
S23, and clear at S28. Lard in kegs
sells at ISL and hams at zoe per lb.-I
Butter is quoted at SO to Soc.
The steamers Cortes, California, and
Panama were to sail from San Francisco,
on the 1st inst, the latter had over S2,-
$50, 900 in gold dust on freight.
A destructive fire occurred at San
Francisco, on the 31st May, which de-
stroyed twenty buildings on California
and Reany streets. The loss is large.
The Sonora expedition is still talked
of. The Times says a Baltimore clip
per, lying in the harbor, has been en-
gagged to carry the party to its destina-
ton.

GENERAL INTELLIGENcE.-The Uni.
versity Of Oxford had conferred the de.
gree of Doctor of Laws on Mr.. Inger.
soil, our Minister to the Court of St
James.
An immense hostility exists in Ire
land against the proposed bill for the in
spection of Nuneries.
The growing crops in England and
Ireland looks well.
In France the leading journals lean
to the opinion that there will not be a
war between Turkey and Russia; never
theless. the funds were fluctuating con-
siderably, and closed at decline.
The rumored recall of Canedo from
Cuba is contradicted.
1t was the general belief at Vienna
that the Turkish, Swiss and Sandman
difficulties would be amicably adjusted.
A special Minister has been sent from
Vienna to ConstantinOple.
The free importations of breadstuffs
into Sicily has been permitted in Rus
sian and Naples vessels.
The very latest dates from st.
Petersburg states that the Emperor's
course on the Turkish question is
generally approved, whilst on the other
hand the Turks and Greeks in Syria
fully approve of the Sultan's course,
and voluntary subscriptions were making
toward arming the able-bodied men for
war.
The advices received Just as the Nj
agara sailed were deemed less favorable
for the maintenance of peace. The
messenger sent from st. Petersburg to
Constantinople had no discretionary
powers, but simply carried the Cars
demand on the Porte, to accept Men
;chikofps ultimatum within eight days
1r abide the consequences.
The Porte was making the most
lctive preparations for defense, and had
10000 choice troops ready to attack the
Russian forces, should they attempt to
ross the river Mustapha Pascha Of
ers to raise 100000 Albanians, to
march against Russia, and the present
orces of the Ottoman Minister, 139, 900
egulars, and the feet of 1000 guns,
eside six steamers and 22 smaller
RATS.
The total land forces now at the dis
osal of the Porte amounts to 419, 900
len.
Satisfaction has been given to the
nited States Minister respecting the
nprisonment of Mr. King, at Athens.

BUYAT HoME.-We have often enough,
perhaps too often, called attention of the
citizens of our county to the fact that
they can oftener do better by patroni-
zing home labor and home mechanics
in fact, buy what they want at home,
when it can be had, than by going
abroad, or by patronizing those wander
ing, irresponsible persons who represent
capital and labor at distance. The
new supply of Stoves, of every style,
which Mathers d Co. inform us they
have lately received, make the same
suggestions pertinent. 1t is certainly
nothing more than justice to buy of our
neighbors and citizens, when it can be
done on equally favorable terms, and we
are informed, and so believe the truth to
be, that all purchasers of Stoves will
consult their own pecuniary interest by
calling on those who deal in the article
here, "before purchasing elsewhere. -
Try it. At the establishment of Matb-
ers d Co. can always be found the new
est styles of Stoves, made of the best
quality of hot blast metal, and for sale
at city prices.

~G Great Britain has peculiar mo-
tive for seeming at least to protect and
rescue the Ottoman Porte, in whatever
emergency. Mahommedanism exerts
important influence in India, and must
be propitiated. An English publicist
observes:
"By abandoning Turkish independ-
ence and trust, we should convert every
Oriental follower of the Prophet into the
deadlieSt of our Eastern enemies. 1t is
greatly TO the tradition and proved Ma
hommedan belief in English sympathy,
that we owe those Egyptian facilities to
our Indian intercourse, which are now
part of our Indian system. We there
fore connect the maintenance and integ-
rity of the Turkish empire with the
preservation of our Indian empire. To
allow the overthrow of the Porte would
be to agitate Mahommedanism in its pro-
foundest depths and remotest localities. 3"

HE MAINE LAw.-The Legislature
OF Connecticut refused to pass the
Maine law, but adopted an amendment,
giving to towns and cities power to Ii.
eense.
a dispatch from Detroit says that city
gave over three hundred majority in ia
yor of the law, and that the returns from
the interior of the State indicate that
Michigan will give majority of ten
thousand for the law.
The New York Herald announces that
the Maine law is bound to be the "man-
ifest destiny" of New York. The law
has passed the Senate, and the indica-
tons are that it viii pass the House if
its friends can manage to get it to a
vote.

RAILROAD IRoS.-We learn from the
Ironton Register that Messrs. Sturges,
Blandy q Co., of GAINESVILLE, are about
erecting very extensive Rolling Mil
for the manufacture of Railroad Iron,
in that place. The Register says:
The Company have secured about
three acres of ground for their mill site,
on the bank of Storms Greek above the
Lawrence Rolling Mill, which is now in
progress of construction-also have
secured some thirty or more lots on
which to erect dwellings. They are to
erect first class mill, with a capacity
for the manufacture of fifty tons day,
which will consume, supposing the mill
to be in operation three hundred days
in year, all the pig iron made by six or
seven furnaces. This will give some
idea of the magnitude of the enterprise.

THE DOLLAR Mana communication ap-
peared in the Courier last week, bearing the
signature of "a Wing, and paying subscriber
to the Journal, setting forth that it is piece
of beggsry in us to charge for announcing
candidates, and winds up with excusing the
Courier for the same thing, on account Of II
being neutral paper We would inform this
'|whig, and paying subscriber to the Journal, "
that from one to five dollars is charged for an
nouncements by publishers throughout the
whole country, with very few exceptions, and
it is not only our right to charge for such
labor, but we do so for the purpose of keeping
the names of such men as "a whig," DC, out
of the paper. for they are not likely to have
their obscurity disturbed at the expense of one
dollar, paidto honest labor, particularly when
their chances for Office are so slim.
When we established this system II met
with universal favor by those who desired the
nomination and election of worthy men alone
for Office. while it kept the columns of our pa
per from being clogged with dead NATTER
When announcements were inserted free in the
Journal, it was the custom of such men as
"a Wing" to set down and write out probably
half dozen announcements for publication,
just for the fun of the thing, as they would
say, which, by the way, may be fun to them
but such fun the printer never relishes. We
like the plan we have adopted well enough to
adhereto it, this Wing u to the contrary not
withstanding.
We do not know who the writer is, and care
less, but will make this proposition to him
if he will call on us, or send us his name, we
will examine our books, and if he does not
stand indebted to us, we will give him a years
subscription, but if he owes US we wish him
to settle up. If he will not accept of this pro-
position, he may hand in his announcement
for any office he wishes, and we shall publish
it-providing it be accompanied with ONE
DOLLAR.

SPRING, THE MURDERER.-A posi-
naOrtem examination was held in Phila-
delphia on the body of this wretched
criminal, who was executed, in the dis
secting room of the Philadelphia Col
lege of Medicine, his son having given
his consent to such an examination as
the interests of science might render
desirable. The Philadelphia Bulletin
gives the following account of the re-
suits:
The chronological developments of
the head of the murderer were charac-
teristic of the man. The head was
large, being over twenty-five inches in
circumference. The perceptive facul-
ties were strong and the reflective weak.
Benevolence and other organs, which
are the indications of good disposition,
were found to be very poorly developed,
while selfshness and frmness were
large, and cautiousness was well de-
veloped. Secretiveness was large, and
the animal organs, such as combative-
ness and destructiveness, were enor-
nous. The base of the brain was very
large. The forepart of the head was
very small, and the back very large, in
dicating sensuality and cruelty. The
professor styled the Uranium of the de-
ceased bulldog head"
There was but little in the appear
ance of the brain to indicate that the
deceased had died from any violence to
the head or neck. The brain was very
slightly congested, and there was no
sign whatever of extravasation. There
was nothing, in fact, unusual in the ap-
pearance of the brain. Nothing to in
dicate hanging. The dissection of the
neck disclosed a different condition of
things. The muscles were found to be
much congested, and there was great
excavasation of blood The windpipe
was found to be disruptured in front,
having been burst by the action of the
cord. This result is unparalleled, so
far as the knowledge of the demonstra-
tor extended. This was probably the
cause of the instantaneous death of the
culprit.

McCoRMACK's REAPER.-This reaper
was used on Saturday, the 18th inst, on

wheat, which averaged about twenty
five bushels to the acre. The number
of hands employed to tend the reaper

facts we learn from Mr.. WADDELL who
is well pleased with the machine and the
work, as well he might be.

JUpsE FLISS.-The Locofocos OF
Hamilton county elected this man, a mo-
torious rowdying bully, Judge of their
Criminal Court. The Enquirer now
sees where the party missed it. and
wants to pitch him overheard, and advo-
Gates. as the only way of accomplishing
such a purpose. the repeal of the law
creating the Office. Hear that paper on
brother Finn:
We are very well satisfied that no
person will be elected to the Legislature
from this county, this fall, who viii not
exert himself actively to relieve the
county of Mr.. Finn as Judge, by all
legal and constitutional means in his
power. He has disgraced his official
position; he has disgraced the Democrat
ic party, to which he processes to belong;
he has wronged the public by his con-
duct since he has been elevated to the
Judgeship. He should look for no favor
from either his party or the public; and
what is more, we hope he will receive
none until he vacates the position he has
disgraced.
1t has been suggested that if the
Criminal Court is abolished Judge Finn
can, nevertheless, draw his salary until
his term of five years expires. Even if
that be true, about the correctness of
which we do not now advance an opin-
ion, the public can well afford to pay
him his salary, so it is clear of him as
Judge.

wonderful and Extraordinary Cure OF
Rheumatism of twenty yeurs' standing.

Never in my life have had so much pleas
ure, in doing any thing as in giving this certif-
cate to the world, and hope it may be the
cause of thousands of my fellow-creatures be-
ing relieved from that dreadful disease, rheu-
matism. My wife has been afflicted with it
for twenty years, most of the time suffering
excruciating pains in every part Of her body.
Having no appetite whatever, she was reduced
to almost skeleton. So oviolent were the pains
that she seldom could sleep without taking
large doses Of opium. Every joint was swelled
very much, and her knees, hands and neck
covered with large Jumps. She could do no
kind Of work, the sinews and muscles being
so hard and contracted that her limbs were
drawn together, so that she was obliged to be
in bed constantly. In this condition she had
been for twenty years, without ever getting
any relief from every thing she used, until she
commenced the use of H. G. FARRILL's Ara
BIAN LINIMEST, the first bottle of which pro-
duced great change. She has now used five
bottles, and the swellings have nearly all gone
down; pain has entirely left her; she sleeps
well and soundly; is more feshy than ever
she was in her life; has an excellent appetite,
and spins and sews all day. By the use Of
few bottles more she must be as well as ever
she was. If any one doubts this wonderful
cure, he has only to call at my residence near
Peoria, and learn the circumstances from my
wife's own lips, or he can further inquire Of
any of my neighbors.
