The Proprietor, in calling the attention of the
puoilc to tins pre- paraton, does so with feel
ing OF the utmost confidence in its virtues and
adaptation to the diseases for which it is com-
mendcd.
1t is no new and untried article, but one that
has stood the test of ten years. trial before the
American people, and its reputation and sale is
nnrivaIled by any similar preparations extant.
Inc testimony in its favor given by the most
prominent and well-&nown Physicians and indi-
viduals in sll parts Of the country is immense,
and careful. perusal ofthe Almanac, published
annually by the proprietor, and to be had gratis
Of any OF his agents, cannot but satisfy the most
skcptcal that this remedy is really deserving
the great celebrity il has attained.

MAIL Robber Arrested.

For some months past complaints OF mail
robbing at san Antonio, Texas, have been
numerous. On the 18th inst. the robbcr was
arrested ut Ind.anola, and found To be "a boy
of about Is years Of age, named JACOB Dam
MERIT. formerly an employee in the Post Once
at San Antonio. He had, when arrested, be-
tween ifty and sixty thousand dollars In
drafts, bank stocks, lottery tickets. postage
stamps. &c. The India1ola Cbsg7T, referring
to the arrest Of the boy, says:
A more simple, unsophisticated creature we
have rarely ever seen. He is German,
whose parents live Ia San Antonio, aud not
possessing even the rudiments Of an English
Education, aud why the Postmaster at San
Antonio should have ever employed him Mt

frequently Intercepted ~ Ia Why aud how

Southern Medical Education,

The Louisville Journal referring to the pre-
tensions of Nashville as centre of Medical
Education for the South and Southwest,
declares she cannot compete with Louisville.
We take it that the boot is on the other leg.
II is Louisville that cannot compete with
Nashville. Last winter the two Medical
schools of Louisville had about one hlandre d
students between them, whilst the Nashville
Medical School had three hundred and my three.
Louisville will have to "pick up" rapidly
before, at this pace she can even be said TO
be in the race. This winter Nashville is to
have an additional Medical School, which
will increase the number Of students here.
We allude to TO the Shelby Medical College,
the buildings Of which are now finished, and
ready for the reception of the classes. We
may also mention that portion OF its large
museum has been received, aud the remainder
is expected in a few days. We anticipate AN
undiminished class for our old school, and u
large one for the new one.

The st. Louis Democrat says

CoAL--It is said that when coal was first
used in England the prejudice against il was
SO strong that the Commons petitioned the
Crown To prohibit the ''noXiOus' fuel. \
royal proclamation having failed To abate the
nuisance, commission was issued to
ascertain who burned coal within the city OF
London and its neighborhood. and TO punish
them, by fine, for the first offence, and by
demolition of their furnaces if they persisted
in transgtessing. A law was finally passed.
making it capital offence To burn coal in
the city. 1t is stated that among the records
in the Tower of London document was
once found, importing that in the time OF
Edward L.. man had been tried, convicted
and executed for the crime of burning coal in
London! Ii took three centuries to entirely
efihce this prejudice.
The history of the coal trade in Pennsylva-
MIA is equally remarkable. AT FIRST the idea
of using coal for fuel was ridiculed as an
absurdity, and the early pioneers in the great
trade encountered many difficulties. Blu;
they perseyer,d. and with results truly
wonderful. Coal is 10 that State what gold is
to California. Indeed the chances are that
when the latter are exhausted, the former
will be but partially developed.

The Atlantic Cable.

The telegraphic despatch last week announ-
cling the resumption of perfect signals through
the Atlantic Gable seems TO have been prema-
ture. After it was received in New York,
Mr. FIELD telegraphed to DE SANITY, the cleo
trician at Trinity Bay, asking information,
and received the following reply:
TRINITY BAY, N. F., Sept. "a.
c, W. Field. Nev York.
We have received nothing Ineligible from
Valenta since the first of September, except
ing feeling few signals yesterday. cannot
send ANYTHING to Vaienta. There has been
very little variation in the electrical NANTES
tltions. DE DAM L.
Notwithstanding the facts stated by De
SANITY, il is believed that the cable will soon
be in good condition for telegraphing. The
damage to it is near the shore in Valentia Bay
where the taking up Of the small cable for the
purpose of substituting proper shore end,
to resist the abrasion consequent upon the
ocean currents, is about TO be done. On this
point. MIR. FIELD says
1t is conjecturcd that the shore end of the
Gale at Valentia must be taken up for a dis
lance of several miles, which by reason OF bad
weather or other unavoidable difficulties, may
occupy three or four weeks. The depth OF
water within two hundred miles of the Irish
Coast. ranges from 30 to 400 fathOms, and 1t
Is not doubted that even $50 miles of the
Cable could be raised if deemed necessary.

PECANs.-The accounts from all parts of
the pecan region are very fattering The
crop is bidding fair TO De abundant this
season. IL is Of more importance than many
magine-involving several hundred thous-
aud of dollars. A gentleman of this city, a
few years since. lay the assistance of two or
three Of his children, gathered pecahs and
sold enough to bring about $1,000. Nearly
all of this sum was u clear gain.-He was
only out his own labor, aud the use OF two
horses and small wagon for short time.
In some districts the pecan business is more
profitable Than cotton growing, and IL Is said
Farmers have been known 10 take their hands
from the cotton elds.and put them to gather

Gen. Walker.

The Cincinnati Gazette of Thursday last has
the following:
Gen. William Walker-'the gray-eyed man
of Destiny the genuine fillibuster-arrived
in this city on Tuesday night, and was at the
Spencer House until noon yestetdsy, when
be left by the boat for Louisville. During
the time of his stay here, he was closeted in
bis room, No. lis, with two we'll known dem
ocrats of this city. and he was heard to tell
one of them. as they parted at the door, that
he had procured the insertion of the dispatch
sent by the Geographic operator from New
York, on the 2lst. stating that he had gone
out on the Star of the West for Nicaragua, in
order to put somebody on a false scent and
to divert attention from has real purposes"
GEN. WALKER is now in this City. and we
have his authority for pronouncing the fore
going statement, wholly and absolutely false.
There is not the shadow of foundation
for it.

GREAT EVENTS IN l858."-Under this
head the New York Observer ranks four
things, as follows:
l. The Revival of Religion; the most eX-
tensive and thorough ever experienced in the
United States.
2. The Triumph of the American Tract
Society, the greatest moral victory of truth
over error achieved since the Reformation
under Martin Luther.
g. The successful completion Of the Elec-
trio Telegraph from Europe to America the
greatest work of human perseverance and
enterprise.
4. The opening of China to the commerce
of the world, and free federation of the Chris
tan religion throughout the empire.

FAIR Hr.-At harvest home celebration
up in Ohio President Mattoon. of Farmers
College. was one of the speakers and it so
happened that he succeeded an inveterate
old bachelor, whom he hit capitally as fol-
lows:
At the Harvest Home like this, the farmers
brought together, AS the choicest of their first
fruits, their children, aud every little girl and
boy in that assembly was living witness
against the old bachelor. (Laughter.) For
himself he had felt it is duty to get married
"a duty to follow the law of all things, and
reproduce his kind, but if the peach were
sour and lean, stringy and juiceless, it might
not be so important that the stone should be
planted. (Laughter.)l

THE WEIGHT OF MILLION OF GOLD
We are indebted to a gentleman who worthily
occupies prominent position at the United
States Mint in this city, for the following re-
ply to question: "What is the weight OF a
million of dollars in gold?" THE weight
of a million of dollars of United States cur
rency in gold is fifty-three thousand seven
hundred and fifty troy ounces" This makes
four thousand four hundred and seventy-nine
pounds and two ounces-or nearly two tons
and a quarter, reckoning two thousand pounds
to each ton.-PhI. Ing.
