Races over ChattahOochee Course.
FOURTH DAY, Friday, Dec. 3-Coh Stake for
3 year dds. too-naiIe heats, $500 entrance, 500
.fortest, $500 aaded By TIE Club.
This stake had closed with five entries buf
three paid forfeit. and at the blowing of the
horn only two nags stepped in to contend for
the purse; but these two were the game and
oft-matched rivals Lorette and Bill Cheatham.
Phe FLY was rather the favorite. though Bill Is
hackers had good deal of confidence. 1t is
useless to give the particulars OF each heat.
as they were both very nearly alike Bill
dashed off little ahead, and maintained the
lead all the way round. though Lorette made
a gallant run and hurried up the time of the
winner 50 as to make livery creditable race
to both nags. Time, 3:46}, 3;453.

The Secretary of the Interior. submits the
question, whether it would not be wise pol
icy to pass a general law reserving all aurif-
erous, silver and cinnabar mines from sale,
for the use and occupancy Of the United
States, under such regulation as Congress
may prescribe, and leaving those tracts of
land containing copper, iron, lead and coal,
subject to the ordinary laws of settlement
and sale, for their Development
He recommends Legislation with regard to
the public lands in Utah. to put the lands sur
veyed in market. and enable the present oc-
cupants to obtain titles to their homes by the
establishment of land Office and the extcn-
sion of the presumption law in that Terrific
ry.
THE SECRETARY OF WARS REPORT.
The S. cretary Of War in speaking of the
war with the Indians on the Pacific. says that
a permanent peace has been established 10y
treaties entered into with them - -
The war in Texas may be looked upon as
Just begun. and probably it will be oHe of
ferceness and may be Of considerable dura-
ton.
The operations of the Utah army have been
important aud fraught with momentous re-
suits The people of that Territory, howev-
er. still cvince a spirit Of insubordination, and
a strong force needs still to be kept there.
There have been disbursements to the amount

department..
The Secretary calls attention to the neces-
sity of providing for the payment of claims
against the government by diff rent States tor
the services of volunteers.
The Secretary says he attempted. as far as
possible to meet the wishes of Congress, in
reducing expenses. ea
The estimate of the next fiscal year are less
than the appropriations Of last year, by So
lG0,44S. They amount in aggregate to SIS
0l0090. and he hopes the Expenditures may
be still further reduced. unless there be fur
ther and larger demands for expenditures in
suppressing other Indian hostilities. There
will be no necessity for deficiency bill.

BLACK TONGUE IN CArrLE.-A Rec1pe.-Of
late much has been said Of this deadly mala-
dy in Southern cattle. A friend of ours, who
knows, by experience, its virtues, recommends
US to give the following recipe as a certain
cure
Mix copperas with the juice Of sour oran-
ges, and battle the lounge with a sponge, or
rag, three or four times a day.
We should suppose that, in the absence of
sour oranges, some other acid might do. The
remedy is simple, and we recommend that it
be tested.

-
A CoLoaEp MAGNEr1sr.-The New Or
leans correspondent OF the Mobile Tribune
gives the following notice of a remarkable
colored man in the former place. Be his pre-
tensions what they mey, the unIettered Afrl-
can appears to exercise considerable influence
over his superiors:
We have actually a real, simon pure, live
prophet in our midst-none OF your humbug
Joe Smith sort, who is alter the dimes, but a
poor. unpretendiDg, plous old blacksmith Of
the colored persuasion, who makes no money
by it, but works at his trade for a living, in an
unpretending way. At present he confines
himself entirely to the cure Of diseases, by
miraculous power, and | will give you my
word that he seems to have Just as much as
he can attend to on the days that he devotes
to the public, which are Mondays, Wednes-
days, and Fridays, the rest Of the week being
devoted by HIM to labor for the support Of
his family.
Joking aside, there is something very
wonderful about the darkey;s treatment Of
disease, and there are hundreds who will take
their oath that he Unsecured them of ailings
which had for years batf1ed the skill OF our
first physicians. Men are said to have gone
10 IllIl SuleIluS llOiH tulOIAC EDeunldtlStl, ul-
able to walk, and after having a few passes
made at them, and a few prayers offered up
in their behalf, have rose from their bed and
uakked home as we'll as ever. Children who
had been eplleptic from birth are said to
have been entirely cured; women suffering
with diseases peculiar to their sex relieved
permanently. In fact there are persons who
assert that he has cured all description OF dis
eases in the same miraculous manner. On
his leuee days you can find his door besiegged
from early dawn till late at night-not by
the poor and ignorant, but by the rich, edu-
Gated, and refined, who came thither in their
carriages and accompanied by their servants
in livery. All wait their turn with patience,
and with a confidence truly remarkable.
AS | remarked before, his treatment con-
sists Of little else than making a few passes
in the air near the afflicted persons, and offer
ing up prayers for their relief. That his d.
agnosIs of of disease is wonderfully accurate,
| can myself vouch for, having heard him tell
what allied the child of an acquaintance Of
mine that had been sick with a fever and
become partially parallzed. He says that he
has no knowledge Of medicine, and claims no
merit for himself by virtue of his cures, but
insists that it is the Spirito OF God which teach
es him what to do in each case. As matter
OF course, | will not attempt to argue such a
with him or any one else, but that it
is a very mysterious power which he posses
SEES there can hardly be doubt.

New ENGLAND H~EArHEN.-The following
statement was made in a report on Home
Missions recently submitted at the Massa-
chusetts General association: From reii-
able statistics. it appears that in Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts, not
more than one-quartel of the whole popula-
ton are in the habit of attending church -
Their are one million three hundred thousand
people in New England who, so far ae atten-
ding church is concerned, are, practically,
like the heather. There are twenty-six
towns in this State which have no evange-
lical preaching"

loseth the confidence and patronage of mell,
and sinketh into poverty an fogetfulness =
He that adrertiseth not-he that doth not make
himself known through the paper-he who

self or gain and secureth to himself loss
His business wisdom is foolishness. His lack
of knowledge, aye, his stinginess stcketh

the day maketh himself and his business
known, he hath chosen the part of wisdom
and his riches and honors increase like the

HINTS o KEEPING CooL.-To pre-.
serve the system in Il cool and healthy
state during the extreme hot weather OF
summer the diet should consist AS mucl,
as possible Of fruits, vegetables, and far
in%aceous food, aud the lighter kinds of
meats. The fruit should BE- perfectly
ripe and fresh from Its parent stem, and
should be eaten in the earlier and
middle part Of the day. Its nu'r:tive
properties are not very great, but IL
serves to neutrallze the acids in The stom=
ach, and acts as a general corrective to
the system. In the warmer climates Of
South America, Spain and Italy, where
fruit abounds, the ioabitants freely par
take Of it an hour or two before brea L.
fast, aud during the middle Of the day,
but never after; they holding to the
Spanish maxim that fresh and ripe fruit
is gold in the morning, silver at noon,
and lead at night. The people of the
tropical climates perform very little active
labor during the extreme heat Of the
day, but generally remain inactive and
under cover, in habitations constructed
with a view to GOODNESS. The lest mode
of keeping buildings cool and free from
flies during the dog days" is to open
all the windows and doors for an hour
or two before sunrise, so as to fill every
accessible portion Of the bviIding with
the cool fresh air Of the morning, and
then to close them sufficiently 10 keep
out the sun and light. The cold air
within will serve as a barrier to the en-
trance Of the heat during the day, and
the darkness to The entrance Of the
flies and other insects. Amera-

u We are pleased to learn that the N
o. J. &C. N. Railroad Company have placed
two hundred negroes at labor on the Road
above Canton, Miss. 1t serves to show that
negro labor is fast taking the place of white
laborrrs in the construction of Southern Roads,
The system worked so admirably in the build
ing Of the Crosse Tete & Baton Rouge Road,
that we feel some little pride in seeing other
Roads follow suit, and that we have success
fully demonstrated the superiority of negro
labor over that of white. 1t is decidedly
the cheapest method, and in all cases far more
satisfactory.
