ATTEMPTS To DIsPLAoE RAILROAD Trains
Two separate attempts to throw the cars of the
Memphis and Ohio Railroad off the track have
been made within the last two days by some
devil iuearnate in the shape of human being.
The engineer of the up train, which LETT this city
on Monday afternoon, discovered on the track
when near Shelby, number Of rails, which had
evidently been rlaced there with the design to
throw the cars off the track, and down steep
embankment. Nhen the obstruction was discov-
cred it was too late to stop the train, but the cow
catcher, fortunately, displaced the rails and the
train passed over i-safety. The william not being
satisfied with the result of his first fendsh at
tempt, placed the same rails on the same tract
during Monday night, and they were encountered
BY the same train yesterday morning AS in the
first instance, no damage was sustained by the
train We sincerely trust that the perpetrator Of
this murderous mischief may be caught and
dealt With as he deserves. He deserves to bt
hung. and when caught should be suspended from
the first mb,--Memphis Avaldncke

AN IMMENSE Run AT BILLIARDs.-Yes.
terday noon, says the Cincinnati Gazette,
Bill Stelter, of the Apollo billiard rooms,
made the largest run at billiards we have
ever heard of being made in this city, He
was playing the "tull game" with Mr.. Wilson,
the architect, and had made about 100 by
shots around the table, when he succeeded
in locking the two red balls in the jaw of
the corner pocket; he then counted and
continued to count until bis score was two
hundred and eight At this point, having
played over two hours, he dropped the cue
from sheer fatigue. He marked the position
of the balls on the table, and we learn will
continue his game this evening. That Bill
made this run, seven gentlemen besides Mr..
Wilson can testify.

Col. PETTUs ON THE TERRITORIAL QUESTION:
The Democratic candidate for Governor of Miss
issippi, says the Memphis Avalanche, leaves 10
room for conjecture about any topic affecting the
constitutional rights Of the South, and her duty
in the presence of the dangers which lie in her
pathway. Upon the territorial question, he is
bold and explicit in the declaration of his opinions
as well as clear and convincing in the argument
by which his conclusions are reached. The result
of his convictions is thus summed up in the De-
Kalb Democrats sketch of his ScoOba speech:
He was for protection to slavery in the Terrific
ries-that it was the duty of Congress to pass laws
for its protection as property-that protection to
property was one of the chief ends of governments
-and that this protection to slavery in the Terri
tories was in accordance with the Constitution
and that it was in unison with the spirit of frater-
nifty which resulted in the States forming the
Federal compact
Upon the question of protection, the Colonel
was peculiarly full, lucid and elaborate.

Mr. Greeley, in letter from Salt Lake City,
dated July 18th, estimates the total number %
emigrants now on the plains and bound for Cali
fornia, at about thirty thousand persons, with
teams of oxen, mules, horses, and loose cattle,
amounting at the start. not less than one hundred
thousand head. Of these more than one half are
working oxen. The emigration covers the great
trail for an extent of more than seven hundred
miles. or fully half the distance from the settle
ments of Kansas to those of California, west of
the Sierra Nevada. The head of this magnificent
column will enter the valley of the Sacramento in
August; its extreme rear will be struggling down
the mountain slopes, sad lank, and footsore, as
late as the 1st of October

PICKLES Kettles lined with porcelain should
always be used in preference TO those of brass,
copper or bell metal. The verdegrs produced
by the vinegar on these metals, is extremely
poisonous. For most kind of pickles, cold vine
gar is the best. By boiling, much Of the strength
is lost by aporation-consequenti the pickles
are more liable to spoil. Those requiring hot
vinegar to be poured over them, should remain
uncovered until perfectly cold Pickles should
be kept in either glass stone Jars, and closely
covered to exclude the air, otherwise they soon
become soft A small piece of alum in each jar
will make the pickles firm and crisp. One table
spoonful of sugar to each quart of vinegar, viii
be found very great improvement to all pickles.

1AzOO CY MISSISSIPPI SATURDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER

A LIVING HEAD ON A DEAD BoDY.-The New
burgh Index gives the following curious but mel
ancholy particulars of Il respectable farmer in
that neighborhood, who was once resident of
that city,
Mr.. Archibald Campbell, respectable farmer
in the township of Camden, while engaged in
finishing dwelling on his premises, the
scafold gave way, and he was preciptated head
foremost to the ground and dislocated his neck,
but very fortunately and myseriously did not kill
him. When his head was brought to its proper
position, the vetrebree of his neck returned to
their place with dull but distinct snap. The
whole body is paralyzed and dead from the neck
downwards. He is not capable of moving a
muscle or experiencing the slightest pain. For
tunately the nerves supplying the muscles used
in respiration were not paralyzed, and can breathe
and live. Had the injury of the spinal cord been
little higher, he would have died Immediately.
The senses of ght hearing smelling, &C., are
normal, and his intellect unimpaired.
