pools Of the apparent blood in state of coagula-
ton. Dogs eat it eagerly.
The peculiarities of the liquid are considered
due to the rapid generation in this grotto of some
very prolific species of infusoria. The California
State Journal, remarking on the above, observes
that the estero of the town Of Monterey contains
species of blood red infusoria, (he arrse of wa
ter insects which at certain seasons of the year

D1ED-In Yorkville, on the 7th inst, aftera short
illness, Mr. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN W1THERS,
native of the District, aged 80 years, 5 months,
and II days. The deceased has left young and
devoted wife, with many other relations to mourn
his untimely end. Possessed of all that can lend
charm to life, of business talent kindred friends
and competence; endowed by nature with pleas
ant disposition, and high sense of honor, the trib-
ute of friendship was due from all In his death,
o vacuum has been created in large family circle,
which time may partially eradicate, but never full
ly repair, for "e'en his fangs, leaned to virtues
side" Let US sympathse with the afflicted, It's
all ,re can offer, but "there is balm in Gilead."
His remains were escorted to their last resting
place, by Philantbropic Lodge, No. 7S, Ancient
Free Masons, of which he was an effective member;
and there he rests by the side of two little che
rubs who preceded him, where he will remain in
their cold embrace until the Resurrection morn
shall call US all, to that reckoning we must surely
make. May he rest in peace. A FRIEND.

We hope to make it n faithful representative
Organ of Southern Genius, Taste and Opinions in
every branch of LITERATURE, ART, and GEN
ERAL POLITICS. Our design having already
been extensively advertised, we deem elaborate
Prospectus unnecessary. The Work must speak
for itself.
In regard to its form, we shall make Blackwoois
Magazine the model of our own, as far as circun-
stances may permit.
Having adopted a system of liberal remuneia-
tion we can ensure the services Of the ablest wri-
ters, and consequently place ourselves above the
necessity of accepting articles of doubtful merit,
or cphemcral interest.

tons received by Agents throughout the Southern

PROSPECTUS OF
THE SOUTH"

A DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER, PUBLISHED AT
RICHMOND, VA.
ID EFORE the close of the present month, the
ID subscriber will issue the first number Of a
newspaper which he proposes to publish in Daily
and Semi. weekly editions, and which he intends
to devote to the service of the South the interests
of the State, and to the support of the principles
of the Democratic Party. But the paper will not
be so exclusively political, that its columns will
only interest the politician; nor so subservient to
party as to spare the misconduct of bad men to
betrny principle for the sake of power, or to des
pse its convictions at the suggestion of expedency
/ shall endeavor to commend it to intelligent
persons of all classes, by diligence in the collec-
ton of news, by imparting something of agricul-
tural commercial and literary interest to its col
umns, and by yenturing m outspoken and emphat-
ic opinion the topics of the day, no matter what
the hazard of conflict with prejudice or of offence
to the selfappeiated feeders Of party. orlsru
of no clique, in the interest of no faction, and
with no partial purpose to serve, the paper will
address itself to the honest judgment of the pco-
pie, and for support will rely upon the apprecia-
ton of energy and enterprise, and their love of
plain talk and independent opinion. There may
be particular individuals to whom this sort of dis
cussion will not be very acceptable, but if can
concliate The favor of the masses, I may survive
the opposition OF ignorant or interested critics.
No doubt scrvic spirits will be shocked at my zeal
in the defence of the South; still have the con-
solatory assurance that there are plenty of brave
and true men in Virginia, upon whose sympathy
and support may rely with absolute security
And so believing, l embark upon the enterprise,
with no misgving as to the result.
THE SOUTH" will be of equal size with the
leading papers Of the city and will be furnished
to subscribers at the following rates: Daily seven
dollars q year, Semi-weekly FIVE dolars-pdycbls
in Advance.
Money may be sent by mail to the address of

ton represent that Walker confidently predicts
Kansas will be free State. Politicians are pro-
verbally jealous of their reputation for sagacity,
and as Mr.. Walker has in some sort control of the
destiny of Kansas, he may contrive to fulfil his
prophecy. The prediction at least indicates a
disposition of mind which warrants some mistrust.
Our advices justify the belief that Kansas will

THE MASSACHUSETTS SHOE TRADE.-The New
buryport Herald says that the failure Of Messrs.
Baker, extensive shoe manufacturers of Lynn, is
announced. The liabilities are reported at from
$1,000 to Sl50,0UO, and it is the first heavy
failure among the manufacturers Of Lynn for some
ten years: as indeed now is the heaviest pressure
upon the trade for ten years. They employed some
FIVE hundred hands, who will fine suspension of
work, but no loss otherwise, as their debts were
in Boston and other cities-the heaviest being in
Baltimore. Very many of the shoe manufacturers
are curtailing their work-all who can' but some
that have expended their credit to the utmost are
not able to seek safety in that-are not making
money, nor yet able to stop without swamping.

Seventh Congressional District.

Seveutn COuSIcssiohoA DAssAASS'
The Charlotte Democrat is requested to an
nounce Hon. Burton Craige as candidate for re-
election to Congress from the Seventh District.
In making this announcement, says the Demo-
crat, sand expressing our satisfaction at having
it in our power to do so, we think we no more than
re-echo the sentiments of the democracy of this
District That Mr.. Craige has faithfully discharg-
ed his trust as public servant we presume none
will question. In him the South has always found
staunch friend, and the principles of the demo-
cratic party an able advocate ever ready and will
ling to act in defence, from whatsoever source at
tack might come"
With the Democrat, we feel certain that the epeo-
nle of the Seventh District will show by their
votes on the first Thursday in August, that they
are willing to sustain Representative who has
faithfully labored to sustain their rights and inte-
rests. We presume Mr.. Craige will have no oppo-
sition.
