hension of fact but when | aided to it, |
made use Of an expression which was stron-
ger than propriety warrants and as it has
always been my habit, when in a time of
momcntary excitement have been betrayed
into an indiscretion, no matter what kind to
apologize for it at once, [ now tender to the
gentleman from OHIO my apology, with the
expression Of my regret that ! gave utter
anee to any language which violated the
courtesy justly due to him.
Mr.. CAMPBELL, of Ohio The apollo
gy Of the gentleman from Louisiana was en-
tirely unnecessary. | can appreciate the
position of gentlemen who upon this floor,
in the heat of debate, make use of remarks
which sound harsh 10 the ear | may have
been mistaken in regard to the point of fact
connected with the statistics Of the sugar

exposed in debate, if | am in error, | shall
certainly make an apology as frankly as the

CAUSE OF Mr. Books DEArH.-A New
York physician writes to the Courier and
Enquirer, that Mr.. Brooks could not have
died OF the Group, but must have died from
spasm of the epiglottis, which is simply a
valve that closes the passage to the lungs.
Slight concessions of this little valve often
take place in colds and produce cough, with
altered voice, and if the congestion extend
to the muscles of this valve, it will fall upon
its own orifce and sufocation ensue. The
remedy is always at hand. The patient may
place his thumb on one side of the trachea
Or windpipc, and his finger on the other
side, small inch below the angle of the
jaw, squeeze it tightly aud push directly
towards the tongue and the motion, with
the pressure on the muscles, Will immedi-
ately raise the valve to its Perpendicular po-
sition-hold 1t few inmates till the valve
RECEIVERS its lone, and the patient will be out
Of danger.

ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA.

HALIFAX, Feb. 14--The steamship Eu-
ropa, from Liverpool with dates to the 3ls
January, arrived here to-day.
The details of the capture Of Bushire bv
the English have been received.
The City was defended by the Arabs, not
the Persans, who lost three chiefs and a
large number of men. The English loss
was thirty five. The latter captured the
Governor of the City, the Commander Of
the fleet, and a person reported to be Min
lister of War. Bushre has been declared TO
be British territory, and free port.-l.at-
est accounts state that the City was quiet ;
but rumor attributes bad conduct to the
British after the capitulation
CnINA.-Nearly all the factories Of Cam
ton have been burnt by the Chinese The
remainder were on fire when the steamer
left The future steps Of Admiral Seymour
are not known, but it is believed that CAN
ton will no longer bc spared. \ shower Of
shells and rockets and heavy round shot had
commenced.

Stanton Her Prospects and Destiny.


No other inland town Of Virginia gives
promise of brighter and more prosperous
future than this ''City of the Mountains +"
The centre of the great State of Virginia,
and of the beautiful and fertile Valley, sur
rounded on all sides by populous and pro-
ductive country-with a Rail road passing
through the town fastening to connect the
waters Of the Chesapeake with those of the
Ohio-and another, destined in few more

unite itself with the Virginia and Tennessee
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. must become one of the
principal thoroughfares of trade and travel
from North to South and from East to West.
Her salubrious air and lovely scenery-her
hospitable and enlightened population--her
numerous and popular Boarding Schools for
youth of both sexes-those noble State
charities located in her midst. the Western
Lunatie Asylum, and the Institute for the
education of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind
and last, though not least, her admirable
and well-ordercd Hotels, than which none
can be found better anywhere. must ensure
the long soioun Of the travelling public a.
mong us during the Spring, Summer and
Fall months, and thus add new charms to
our already attractive society. Already for
the last two Oh years, hundreds have pre-
ferred the cheaper and better accommoda-
tons of the Hotels and Boarding Houses in
Stanton, to the crowd and discomfort Of
watering plaees-rightly Judging that the
mountain air, and freedom from business.
were more conducive to health than mineral
water, and leaving here on the return of the
frosts, more recruited than those who had
gone further and paid more. In future
years, as larger crowds are brought to our
mountains by increased and extended facil-
tiles Of travel, our town will, doubtless. be-
come still more favorite stopping place,
and many of our Eastern friends, charmed
with the roses of health that bloom perpetu-
ally on the checks of our girls and bows,
will take up their residence among us and
swell the tide of our population and pros
perity.
But these are, BY no means, the only
source of our future growth Industry must
be stimulated and turned into new channels.
Manufactures must share with Merchandise
the capital of our business men. The idle
population which now begs through our
streets, must either mend its ways by whole
some, thriving industry, or give place to
active, enterprising operatives, This is al
ready beginning to be the case. Messrs.
CRAWFORD y DoNAGHE, Messrs. CARRIER 6,
CoNNEL, and Messrs HARMAN & SHARP have
inaugurated a new industry among us, and
we sincerely trust, fer their OWN sakes, and
the benefit Of our town, that many more
will be induced by their success. to .follow
in their footsteps
We have much more to say on this inter
estlng subject which We viii reserve for flu
ture occasions, and, in the mean time, we
throw open eur columns for others, more
practical than ourselves, to awaken the dor
mant energies of our people to the percep-
ton of the great advantages they possess.

HON. JOHN LETCHER, OF Va.


The speech Of this gentleman, delivered
in the House Of Representatives few days
since, upon the Tariff question, is one of tie
ablest that has been made in that body der-
ing the present session. 1t was listened 10
by the House with marked attention, and is
spoken of in political circles, as well as by
the press, as an intellectual effort that
would have been creditable to a much older
head. Mr.. Letehcr is man Of great labor
he thoroughly investigates all subjects
whether Of public or private nature, and
is always well posted. He takes promi-
nent part in the discussion of all questions
OF public interest and is perfect terror to
all fraudulent claimants and schemes for
robbing the treasury, Brief as has been his
public career, be has already built up ma
tlonal reputation that few men acquire in a
life time. Mark what | tell you, he is des-
tined to higher honors. The speech will be
published III, in few days, when | hope you
will transfer it to the columns of your pap
