Tribute of Respect


 At meeting of Magnolia Lodge No. GO of Free and Accepted Masons, held on the 3Oth day of September, A. D. 1857, the committee appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sorrow of the members 1.-the lodge at the death of their brother, JOHN w. NEWTON, and of their sympathy with his relatives, submitted the fol- lowing which was adopted:
 In accordance with the immemorial custom ot MaSonS upon the decease of worthy bro- ther, to express in an official manner their sor row for their loss, be it
 ResolUei That while we bow in meek sub mission to the will of Him whose we are. and whose will is law, we cannot refrain from ex. pressing our sorrow and regret at the early de- cease ot our worthy brother, JOHN w. NEW TON, whose high character for morality. social virtues and other qualities endeared him to us as brother; and to the community in which he lived a citizen.
 Resol,et That while we dcplore the loss of one who has been cut dow n in manhood,s early noon, when a career of honor to himself and usefulness to the fraternity and the community lay before him, we cherish the hope that our loss Is his gain, and that he has been transferred from the Lodge upon earth to that Lodge " Not made with hands, eternal in the hea vens."
 Re8ol0ed That we tender our heartfelt svm pathy with the immediate relatives of the de- ceased, for the loss of one so near and dear to them.
 Reso'ved, That the members of this Lodge wear the usual badge of mourning for the space of thirty days; and that these resolutions be published in the newspapers of this city,

THE CAMELs.-The War Department has re- celved an interesting report from MT. E. F. Beale, the superintendent of the expedition to construct the wagon road from Fort Defiance, dated Fl Paso, July 24th. Mr. B. writes in glowing terms of the success of the camel ex- pertinent 1 he war department furnished him with some Of those animals (only three of which were males) to be used beasts of burden--he loaded them with TOO pounds each, of provend- CT for the mules. They bore the journey across the plains-eating little but bushes, preferring to browse on them to grazing on the best grass far better than the mules of the expedition. They suffered much less than the mules from the usual casualties of such a journey-sore backs, lame feet, etc.
 He conceives it far easier to manage train of twenty camels than one of five mules, ex- blaming that the excellence of the temper of the former, theil entire tractability, greater ca pacity for bearing burdens and going without water, and their preference for food on which any other animals would starve, make them valuable for transportation on the prairies.- - Every unshod beast of the expedition but the camels, reached Fl Paso lame, while not one of them was lamed in the least.
 On the whole, this report is of much impor- tance, insomuch as 1t embraces the result of the first long and really practical business trial of the adaptability of the camel as beast of burden on the plains of the great west.

While England's Indian empire is in revolt. and a war is pending with China, the late com mander of the forces in the Crimea, Sir Will liam Codrington has been assigned to the com mand of-the Prince of W alcs, who is making tour in the Rhenish provinces.
 The London Times is severe upon the ap- continent, thus concluding its editorial re- marks:
 We must frankly confess that this appears rather "drop" for General Codrington-the fall, we mean, from the command of the Cr- mean army to the command of-we say it with all deference, but still it is the fact-a boy l6 -or, to speak in the language of the Court Circular" to attendance upon his Royal High ness, the Prince of Wales" in his tour mp the Rhine. When the late Archbishop of Canter- bury was raised from the position of a private clergyman to that of Bishop of London, an old Peer asked what the qualifications of the for tunate unknown were The informant blun- derei and hesitated, talked about theological reading and clerical accomplishments, scholar ship, etc.
 At last, by accident, he hit upon the fact that the late Prelate was tutor to the Mar aus of Abercorn's son, and had always got on with the Marquis very well. The old Peer was immediately satisfied "Oh, if he man. acOh @hpCiboih HC CoulI I1dldgS allNDOUE, or any diocess" Here is rise from the manage ment of one to the management of many. Sir William Codrington reverses the process He rises from the government of many to that of one. He has prepared himself by leading the Crimean army to direct the young Prince of Wales, The conduct of the Russian war fit: him to conduct Rhenish tour
 But here is the whole East in some way or other in arms with us-China resisting India mutinying, Generals dying at every post Anson by one Barnard and Lawrence by an- other-important commands are empty, and want filing and the Commander of the Cri- mean army is "going to Konigswinter to be in attendance on the Priuce of Wales" Has General Codrngton, having gained European, no ambition for Indian honors? or is he such courier that the successful direction of the Prince of Wales Rhine tour has greater at traction in his eyes than the suppression of an enormous Indian mutnv?

.a7 One of the most startling cases is narrated of Dr John Butler, of Lowell, Trumbull CO.,. Ohio. The case was that of young lady who had been very sick for eight years, and had consulted number of physicians, who had treated it as one of Prolaps,s Uteri. Dr. Butler then called in, and for a time believed with his predecessors that it was case of Prolapsns He was however, soon forced to the con- clusion that his patient suffering from worms, and after much persuasion prevailed upon her to take two doses of Dr. MLane's Vermifuge, prepared by Fleming Bros. of Pittsburgh. This medicine had the effect of removing from her countless number of the largest size. After she passed them, her health m- medateiy returned. She is since married and con- tnues in excellent health.

EDITORIAL QUARREL-SINGULAR DEATH Some two or three weeks since a young lawyer by the name of T. A. Green wrote piece of poetry for the Decatur Gazette, which the edi. tor of that paper. Mr. Davis, saw fit to criticise rather sevely. Green took exceptions at this and wrote some sham articles in the other pa, per Of that place, in reply. This drew forth further remarks from Mir. Davis, whereupon Green challenged him to fight. This Davis refused, and was consequently branded as coward.
 As MT. Green could not have his difficulties settled according to the rules of hopor, he determined to take the matter entirely in his own hands and accordingly proceeded on yes- terday, to the office of Mr. Davis. On his wav ne met Mr. Charles Sheperd, well know and hlSnly respectable citizen of Decatur, whom he invited to walk with him. Mir. Shenerd was not apprised of what was to follow or he would not have gone. On returning to the oince of the Gazette, Green demanded of Da. vls satisfaction This Mir. D. refused to oive hsh ensued, in which both parties were con- siderably injured.
 Mesars. Davis and Green were arrested fo, dlsturbance of the peace and Mir. Sheperd was called upon as a witness. Being 1'pv.u nar Vous man, the excitement of the occasion over. came him, and after giving in his testimony he Tell down and immediately expired d-SDcino. fetd (No.) Rep. 15M
