WAITING FOR GoD.-A New Orleans
paper relates the following touching Incl"
dent:
A boy was discovered in the morning
lying on the gra.s of Claiborne Street, eyi-'
denLly bright and intelligent but sick. A
man who has the feelings Of kindness
strongly developed, went to him, shook
him by the shoulder, and asked him what
he was doing there. "Waiting for God to
come for me, said he. "What do you
mean" said the gentleman, touched by
the pathetic tone of the answer and the
condition Of the boy, in whose eye and
flushed face he saw the evidences OF the
fever. .'God sent for mother and father
and little brother;' said he, "and took
them away to his home up in the sky, and
mother told me when she was sick that
God would take care of me. | have no
home, nobody 20 give me anything, and
so L came out here, and have been look
ing so long up in the sky for God to come
and take care of me, as mother said he
would. He will come won't he? Mother
never told lie' "Yes, my lad" said
the man overcome with emotion, she has
sent me to take care of you. You should
have seen his eyes fash and the smile OF
triumph break over his face as he sad,
"Morher never told me lie, sir, but you
have been 50 long on the way" What
lesson of trust. and how this incident
shows the effect of never deceiving chill
dren with idle tales. AS the poor mother
expected when she told her son God
would take care of him." he did by touch
ing the heart Of this benevolent man with
compassion and love to the little Stranger.

PUBLIC PLUMBER DEFEATED.

The recent act of the President in vetoing the
Bill of the House of Representatives, granting
several millions of acres OF public land, for the
establishment of Agricultural Colleges in the
different States. T1ll receive the hearty approval
of every honest man of both sections of the
Union. This donation was another design Of
Northern demagogues, to plunder the Federal
Treasury and divert the public revenue from its
Legitimate purpose. The establishment Of schools
and colleges is subject with which the Federal
Government has no concern, and if the principle
intended by this Bill had once been recognized,
there would have been end to the reckless and
unconstitutional appropriations by Congress
There is no more warrant or authority for squan-
derng the public lands than there is for the pub
lie money. The lands are one of the means Of
public revenue, which Congress can alone dispose
of. for the purpose of raising money to carry on
the Government This is the full extent of its
power over them. By parity of reason, the
imposts and taxes, for any particular period,
could be granted, with as mach propriety, to
Railroads, Colleges, and cleemosynary institu-
tions in the different States, the public lands.
Congress holds and controls both by the same
tenure and authority. It can dispose of one for
the same purposes alone, that it can the other.
Once establish the principle that Congress has
unlimited power Of disposing Of the lands and
public revenue, and soon the greedy vampires of
Northern conception would drain the last cent
from the Treasury bankrupt the nation, and leave
the Administration utterly powerless to carry on
the affairs of Government. This Agricultural
College was immensely popular with the Black
Republicans, as is every other system of public
plunder. But the President, superior to the
prejuices and feelings, has saved the country
from the iniquitous consequences of this Bill, by
wisely intOrposing his veto.

THE FLORIDA INDIANs.-The editor Of
the Bainbridge (Ga.) Argus, who was at
Apalachcola when the steamer Magnolia
touched at that place with Col Rector and
bis emigrating Seninoles Oh board, says the
Indians accompanying Col. Rector comprise
the entire remnant of Billy Bowlegs' tribe
in Florida; but that Sam Jones tribe, mum.
bering about fifty, only fifteen of whom might
be termed warriors, could not be induced to
emigrate in consequence of the misrepre>
sentations of unprincipled white settlers who
desired them to remain.
The Tampa Peninsular of the 10th ult.,
after rejoicing upon the departure of the
Indians on board the Magnolia, at the mo,
ment of going to press, says:
We stop the press to announce the arrival
of John Jackson, ESQ, who brings the uu.
pleasant intelligence that he was ordered by
the Indians to leave their country, where he
was engaged in surveying. On the morning
of the 9th, a negro man, in charge of Mr.
Jackson's team, was met by Indians, and,
by words and unmistakable signs, ordered
TO leave in two days. On the 10th, Mr.
jackson, in company with the rest of his
party discovered seven or eight warriors
on approaching near them, they hid behind
trees, and to all appearances made arrange
ments for a fight. Mr.. j. deemed it pru
dent to comply with their request, and OF
the llth, abandoned his work and started
for this place. At the old stations on Fish
Eating Creek, he saw many women ant
children.
This is about the substance of Mr.. Jack
sons statement, which may be relied on al
authentic The Indians he supposes to b.
those who visited Col. Rector but would no
agree to emigrate. From their conduct, W.
may infer that they are not SO peaceably
disposed as our friend Ii. A. G. would hav,
us believe.

Miss Olivia Galtay, of TazOO County, Mss
Farewell, sweet friend the parting word
Between us must be spoken;
There is no tie, however pure,
But on this earth is broken.
Farewell few hearts so young as mine,
Have known the depth of power,
OF sorrows dark, this word hath gift
To crowd in one brief hour.
weep to speak it; tho for thee,
Loves flowers have rich perfume,
In all the bright and gorgeous hues
That mark their early bloom.
We part, and when the summers flowers
For thee shall smile again,
Italas bowers and deep blue skies
For me may smile-yet vain;
Its classic scenes have not a gift
To call back joys departed
To wake the flower of love to life,
Or cheer the saddened hearted.
There is a blending here of lines,
Which distance cannot sever,
Congenal spirits in this world,
Once met, are partt d never.
Thus be it ours in after years,
The meeting of the soul,
Though tween our homes high mountains rise
And many rivers roll.

Less OF THE BLACK WARRIoR-Th n.
Y..Journal of Comwerce, of the 9th inst,
says:
The Pilot Commissioners have investiga-
ted the circumstances which led to the
wreck of the steamship Black Warrior at
Rockaway, to aacertain whether the pilot
having charge Of the vessel was to be blamed,
and should therefore be deprived of his Ii
cense. The examination was instituted by
the Commissioners at their owl option, no
complaint having been made in the case.
They arrived at the conclusion that the pilot
was attentive to his duties at the time Of the
disaster; that he had the Lead in his hand,
and had done nothing to deserve the loss Of
his lieence, although they think that he
ought to have hove the vessel to with hel
head of sbore The fog was evidently the
princi pal on sole cause Of the accident

Mr.: MoRpHY IN PARIS "A late New
York paper has the following
NJ Delahnoy is French gentleman who
hHs been for many ears student of the
fascinating game of chess, and who has
reached no mean degree Of proficiency. The
best of the French players, NJ. Arpous de
Riviere, only pletends to give NJ. Delannoy
the advantage of a pawn and two moves,
and, few days ago, saw de Riviere lose
five successive games at that odds. NJ. Del
annoy knew personally, and has often played
with the famous Labourdonnais --the French
god Of chess-whom the French generation
of to day are constantly holding up as the
miracle who would have beaten Morphy.
As the man has been dead twenty years Or
more. all this bother about what he might
(the French say would have done, is absurd
enough, as you may readily imagine. But
Mons. Delannoy, not content with vaunting
the defunct champion, has loudly declared,
within the past ten days, that the aforesaid
Labourdonnais used to give him, the afore-
said Delannoy, the odds Of knight, aud no
living player could venture to attempt a
similar feat. Mr. Morphys name having
been mingled with all this vaporing, that
gentleman quietly sent word to NJ. Dclannoy
that he would play him few games, giving
the knight-which proposition was at once
accepted. Before the first sitting commenc
ed, DelannoY called all the loungers of the
Regence to witness that /" Mr.. Morphy would
not win a game"

The Washington States of the Sd describes
the scene in the Senate on the preceding

All at once many eyes we're turned toward

CAPTURED, TRIED, CONVICTED AND SEN
TENCED.-The negro Henry, who murdered
VIM. Watkins in this Parish two weeks
since, was captured last Sunday, and brought
to town and tried on Tuesday, before JUS
tices Harris and Hillman, and ten free
holders, agreeably to the provisions Of the
Black Code. The murderer was allowed to
make his own statement, and the result was
a full confession OF the horrid crime OF
which he stood accused. The testimony of
two other negroes were taken, the circum-
stantial nature of which was enough OF
itself to fix the crime upon the accused.
Since the above was written, we learn
from D. L. Morgan, Esq, Deputy Sheriff,
that the negro Was executed according to
the terms Of his sentence. He remained
obstinate and unrelenting to the last 1t
was feared that an attempt would be made
by certain parties to wrest the negro from
the officer (Mr. Morgan) who had charge Of
him, with view of burning him at the
stake, so great was the feeling of indigna-
ton against the wretch; but through the
prudent management of Mr.. Morgan, the
fat Of the law was carried out invioate.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, q corruptioI of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pcrvades the whole body, and may burst out in disease on any part of it. No organ is free from it's attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is yariously caused by mercurial disease, low living, disordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth, and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. Wiiatever Le its origin. it is hereditary ill the constitution, descending "from parents to children unto the third ard fourth gencration;" indeed, ir seems 10 be the rod of Him who says, I will visit tic iniquiris of the fathers upon their children"
 Its effects commence by deposition from tie blood of corrupt or u.cerous matter, which, m the lungs, liver, and internal organs, t termed tu5crcles; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, crup,ions or sores. This foEl corap- tion, which genders in the blood. depresses tie energies of life, so that scroflous constitutions not only suffer from scrofu'ous complaints, bat they have far less power to withstand the attacks of other diseases: consequently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofu- lous in their nature are still rendered fatal by this taint ill the system. Most of the consump- ton which decimates the human family has it's origin directly in this scrofulous contamination and many destructive diseases of the liver, kid neys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause.
 One quarter of all our people are scrofu!ous; their persons arc invaded by this lurking intec- ton, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system VIC must renovate tho blood by an altcrative medicine and invirorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such medi- cine we supply in
Litchfield enquirer., 1859-09-01
AYERS Compound Extract of Sarsaparil!a,

the most cffectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this everywhere prevailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the most active remcdials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul dsor- der from tho blood, and the rescue of the sys- tenn from its destructive consequences. Hence it should bo employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affections which arise from it, such as ERUPrIvE and SKIN D1s- EASES, ST. ASTHoNY's FIRE, ROSE, or FRY. s1rELAs, P1MPLEs, PUsrULEs, BLorcHEs, BLA1Ss and Bo1Ls, TUMoRs, TErTER, and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, R1NGwoRM, RHEUMATISM, SYPH1L1T1c and MERcUR1AL DISEASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM V1r1ATED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief in "impmity of the Jiood," is founded in truth, for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sursa- parilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions
