Collie i'm Horses.

Collie in horses is a very common dis
ease, and if taken in time may be easily
cured in most cases. 1t is not unfre-
quently confounded with Inflammation of
the bowels, but is easily distinguished as
follows: Collie has no increase of the pulse,
which is not over fifty a minute; the ami
NAL often rolls; the disease Intermits, and
there is but little fever. With inAam-
nation of the bowels there is much fever
the pulse is sometimes a hundred min
ute, the attack is gradual, and the disease
does not intermit.
When collie arises from bad food, pint
or so of a solution of saleratus will often
afford entire relief. As it assumes more
of a spasmodic character, peppermint
and ginger may be added. We have
used with entire and immediate success
a small spoonful of saleratus, the same
quantity of ginger, and tea spoonful OF
peppermint, added to a pint of nearly
boiling hot water, and given from a Junk
bottle. Powdered charcoal is one of the
best and safest medicines for any dis,
ease resulting from arrangement of d.
gestion-and two or three ounces or more
mixed with water, may be given at any
time with great advantage.
Inflammation of the bowels is general
ly increased by irritating medicines. A
drink of slippery elm, hourly, and giving
the horse but little food, and letting hin
rest, is safe treatment.

not Of them, in the fearful and sohty sub
limity of genius, stood gentleman from
Virginia, whom it was superauous to des-
ignate. Whose speeches were univer-
sally read? Whose satire was universal
Iy feared Upon whose accounts did
this habitually Gstless and unlistening
house hang, so frequently, with rapt at
tention? Whose fame was identified
with that body for so long a period
Who was a more dexterous debater, a
ripper scholar, better versed in the poll
tics of our own country, or deeper read
in the history of others? Above all, who
was more thoroughly imbued with the i'd
ION of the English language-more COM
pletely master of It's strength, and beau

breathing thoughts of fame In words Of
magic and tones of silver!
Nor may pass over in silence a rep
resentative from New Hampshire, who
has almost obhterated all memory of that
distinction by the superior fame he has
attained as a Senator from NIassaChu-
sets. Though then but in the bud Of
his political life, and hardly conscious.
perhaps, of his own extraordinary pow
ers, he gave promise of the greatness he
has achieved. The same vigor of thought,
the same force of expression, the short
sentences, the calm, cold, collected man.

sepulchral, unimpassioned voice; all have
been developed only, not changed, even
to the intense bitterness Of his frigid
irony. The piercing coldness of his
sarcasms was indeed peculiar 10 him /;
they seemed to be emanations from the
spirit Of the icy ocean. Nothing could
be at once so novel and so powerful, it
was frozen mercury becoming as eausIiO

IMPORTANCE OF SELECTING SHEET
Let every sheep-breeder, as his ewes are
sheared, examine carefully the quality
of the fleece, and mark all that do not
come up to the standard of excellence,
so that if any ones are to be fattened or
sold they may be these. 1t is just as
easy and far more profitable to have the
flock Of uniform quality, as to have sew
eral grades; for the wool buyers will not
pay for a mixed lot as high in proportion
as for an even quality. In selecting for
breeding, a good constitution, weight of
fleece, short legs, "a barrel-shaped body,
and yield of milk, should be among the
essential points, for reasons apparent to
every one; and there is no time so good
for thorough examination of the sheep
as when shearing.
/ If there are ticks on the sheep let
them run two weeks after shearing, and
then dip the lambs in diluted tobacco
Juice.

The Cuban Submarine Telegraph.

The Havana Prensa, of the 25th INST, cor
roborates the statement of the Journal of Com
merce, to the effect that immediate steps are to
be taken for laying the submarine telegraph
between Florida and Cuba. 1t says that Messrs
Kennedy, Noy and Nunez, the first who un-
dertook the enterprise, ceded the privileges
they had obtained from the States Of Florida
and Georgia, to Messrs. Antonio M. Mora &
Co.
These gentlemen have received the reports
of the soundings and all necessary data for
the consummation Of the work. The authori.
ties at Madrid are now examining the plan, and
by the last steamer from New York it was an.
nounced that Mess-s. Kennedy & Walden
were Immediately to proceed TO Havana TO pros
ecute the work.
The Prensa says that the first failures o.
the Atlantic Telegraph caused temporary
suspension and discredit Of this enterprise; bu
the final success of that great project has in.
duced the Cuban Company to hasten its pre-.
parations for connecting Cuba with the main
land of America, and thence with Europe.
There are to be two cables laid, one from
Kew West to the Florida Coast and the Other
from Key West TO Havana. The first will be
land Immediately, and the steam eomDunca.
tion will be maintained between Key West and
Havana until the consent of the Supreme Gov.
eminent shall be obtained for carrying out the
other branch of the project.

A nALLAH

BY W. T. @, WEAVER.
Twas = morning in summer 30 breezy,
The soft. Southern winds were at play,
IA I rsmbled away with my Susie
To seok for the fresh prairic-hay.
Kind Venus smiled on us that morning.
Goi-Cupil himself led tho way,
And Flora, fair queen, was adorning
Our walk through the new pairie-hny.
We stood in the sweet-sccntcl meadows,
Far denrer TO me than the grove,
Where the hay-stacks cast DER us their shadows
And Trembling, asked her to love.
Shc hid her face mid the wild blossoms,
but gave my claspci hand faint press
While mutual love filed our young bosoms
heard from lips sweet Eyes"
Oh gladly I've strollcd in the cleaning,
At close Of a bland, summer day.
But oh /! il WAS naught to the roaming
With Susie among the green hay
care not for wild, sylvan bowers
In lcafy and bloomy array
Give mo back those delicious love-hours
With hor on the fresh meadow hay

The Havana Consulate.

The New York Times comedies that the a1.
pointmcnt Of MIR. CHARLES J. Helm, Of Ken
lucky, is most fortunate, but cannot iorbear
some captious trliscism concerning tho man
ner of securing that appointment. 1t has been
alleged that it was bestowed solely in recogni.
ton of the personal merit Of the appointcc;
but the Times, while declaring that this might
well have been tie fact. insists that Iess worsy
motives Influenced the Presidents conduct.
and that he acted upon the urgent solicitation
of Vice President BRECKENRIDGE. 1t is alto
Gether immateriai how Mr.. HELM secured tho
place, so the post is well and worthily filled,
but we refer to the Times article for the pur-
pose of showing how utterly impossible it is
for Mr.. Buchanan to do anything TO please
the opposition press of The country. A just
estimate Of the service which the Adminstra-
ton renders to the country is not possible with
its opponents, but every resource of ingenuity
is employed TO misreprcsent and yillify iis
most praiseworthy achievements. This is
perhaps all natural, aud will cnure ultimately
to the benefit of the Democratic party. Indls-
criminate abuse cannot in ure the party or its
President. as it only tends to convince the pub
lie that the Opposition journals nre not TO be
relied upon when they speak of the Democracy
and its administration Of government. The
only occasion of regret is, that the check which
an honest, discriminating Opposition press
could hold over a dominant party, and which
is very desirable in any government, is lost TO
The country under the policy pursued towards
the President t-SoNM.

Southern Unity.

The South Carolinan gives some cogcnt
arguments against the "Southern League,
md other papers of acknowledged Southern
position express similar views.
Andrew jackson gave one of the best rea-
sons that was ever add Sessed to those who go
for a dissolution of the Union on the ground
of espediency. He said that the same spirit
of discord and discomfort would he at work in
a new confederacy as in the old, and that di-
vision would be followed up by subdivision,
until we become split up in twenty or thirty
independent sovercignties like the petty re-
pub!;se Of South America. We see already
manifestation of what Disun;on would bring
in the effort in the Montgomery Convention to
rule Virginia and four or five Southern States
out of the ranks of the South, and to enrol
them upon the black list of distrusied States.
II any one will recur to the debates oil the
Virginia Convention of 1929, or even those OF
the last Reform Convention ir this city, he
will see abundant evidence of sectiona, an
tagonism in Virginia that, in the event of
Dsunon, might threaten the division OF our
own Commonwealth. Let the experiment be
tried of grand Southern Confederacy' com
posed of half of country which is just be-
coming Power among the Nations, and we
shall see the same causes at work, the same
principle of decay and dissolution, which men
ace our present organization. 1t is not Slave
ry which endangers the Union, but the selfish
ambition Of demngogues, who use that sub.
iect for political and personal purposes, and
who if that were out of the way, would like
the demagogues Of ancient Republics, soon
find some other, equally suited TO their OBJ
iects and lust as miSchlevOuS.
This journal is connected with no party,
and is entirely independent in he expressions
of its opinions, but it has as good right as
any other to speak for the People of this part
of Virginia, and thus speaking, we aver that
ninety.nine out of every hundred of them are
loyal to the Union, and have no favor for dis
solution and no expectation of it. We believe
that this is true of the whole population of
Eastern Virginia, and as for Western Virginia
there never was time when it dreamed of
disunion There is probably no part Of the
United States where the Union has such
stern and sturdy adherents as in Western Vir-
ginia, men who intend to stand by it as long
as their mountains stand upon their founda-
tions, and whose language is
"This rock shall fly
From its firm base soon MS l. "
OF course, Virginia is not going to leave the
United States, nor some other half dozen
Commonwealths which follow her banner
What is the use, then. Of talking about Dis
union7 The people are disguised with the

The Dead Alive,

An afternoon contemporary notices myster
Gus incident OF dead live man, or live deaC

ieTday, and which is curious enough TO take
note OF.
A couple Of days since young man tool
lodgings at the ST, Charles Hotel, and entered
his name on the register as rs. Bostwiek, La

man came TO our counter and handed IN an
advertisement, as follows
"On Saturday morning, the 29ih inst, oi

years.

"Chicago and S. Louis papers please copy"

Yesterday, morning friend Of ours, board
ing at the ST. Charles, called to see the hand
writing of the mortuary advertisement. It ap.
rcarcd that the young man bearing the Bost-
wick" name was nUiced at the hotel during
his sojourn there, MS having no baggage, but
apparently good deal of money and it was
also known that he left for Tcsas On Sunday
morning. on the mail steamer. The hundwri-
ting of his name on the fotel IT gister, that of
the advertisement and that of the six names
above mentioned, correspond and especially
was this visible in the manner Of writing "Bost-
wick in the register and "Boslwck" in the
two other documents. Further investigation
showed ,hu, no such person had been inferred
in any of the city cemeteries Saturday or Sun
day.

TEXAS MANUfAcTUREs.--We have just been
examining, at Col. Sydnor's store, on the
Strand, some goods manufactured at the State
Penitentiary. We notice some improvement
in these goods since their manufacture was
first commenced, about two years ago. There
are t. rec different kinds, namely, the Osna-
burgs, the Cotton Jeans, and the Plains. The
two former entirely Of cotton, the difference
being that the Jeans arc twilled, and the o, ma.
burgs are not; but they are both about the
same weight and are sold at the same price,
namely, l3 l.2 cents per yard. When VIC
state that the raw cotton, even in Texas, with
out any of the charges attending transportation
costs seven cents in each yard, i. will readily
be understood thTt these goods must be unusu
ally heavy. Indeed they are the heivicst and
l5si, and we think, considering their intrinsic
value and services,) the cheapest goods of the
kind ever offered in this market. The Osna.
burgs are intended chiefly for negro wear, but
will be found very valuable for many other
| plantation uses. Tae Jeans are used for the
sails of small vessels, but are also used for me-
grocs' pants, and their masters nre often not
above wearing the same material, and when
colored they make not on comfortable and
durable, but very becoming pants for every day
wear. The Plains have the warp cotton and
the filling wool, ali of Texas production, and
the cloth is very heavy and durable, being in
tended chiefly for winter wear for negroes, but
is used for many other purposes The price
is 81 10 cents per yard, which considering the
service in it, must be much cheaper than any
other material in our market for the sumc uses.
