PHILADELPHIA PUBLISHING ENTERPRIsB.
The publication of that worlds wonder
in literature, Allibone's Dictionary oil
Authors, would seem of itself sufficient TO
place its projectors in the front rank oil
enterprising and discriminating publish
crs; and, were this the only work bearing
the imprint of Childs / Peterson, kindly
memories would always cluster around the
mention of that Philadelphia firm. But
this monument of Allibone's patient toll
and vast erudition is only small sPeci-
men of its publishers progressive spirit
Of DR.. Kane's Arctic Explorations, they
have sold 10000 volumes, and have paid
as copyright to its author and his family,
S65, 600 in cash. But for the crisis of
1857, the sales of this valuable work
would have increased this amountto $780,
600. The copyright paid is one dollar per
copy, two yolumes). The estate of Judge
Bowler receives upwards of $4,000 per
annum as copyright upon his Law Diction-
ary and Institutes of American Law. To
Col. Fremont also has been advanced a
large sum upon his Explorations, now in
press and shortly to be published by this
house. A new issue of Blackstone 8
Commentaries, edited by Judge SharSwood,
has been so eagerly sought for, that the
first edition was exhausted in few days,
and second (now in press) will little
more than supply the untitled orders for
the book. OF Pcterson's Familiar Science,

A SINGULAR CASE OF SUDDEN RESTORE
T1oS OF HEARING AND SPEECH.-A young
man named Joseph Wheeler, who has been
deaf and dumb for four years back, and
who has been looked upon as u kind of a
pet By Lieut.. Gnstinel, of the Second Dis
trict Police, where he slept Mt night, was,
through the means of an accident, yester-
day, perfectly restored. During the firing
of the salute, yesterday, in front of Jack
son Square, he went up very near the
mouth of the cannon, and before those
around could interfere to take him away,
the cannon was touched off, and the con-
cussion knocked him down, throwing him
fifteen feet. He was picked up senseicss
and taken over to the police station, where
some water was sprinkled on his face. To
the utter surprise and establishment of all
around, as soon rs he opened his eyes, he
spoke as huently as anybody, and heard
and answered all questions put to him,
and is, up to this time, retailing language
out in large doses, to the astOnishment OF
crowd OF incrcdulous lookerS-on.-N. o.

The peculiarities of the female constitu-
ton and the various trials to. which the sex
IS subjected, demands an occasional re-
course to stimuluntS. 1t is important,
however, that these shall be of harmless
nature, and at the same time accomplish
the desired end. Hostetters Celebrated
Stomach Bitters is the very article. Its
effects in all cases of debility are almost
magical. Itrestorcs the tone ofthe dfgcs-
tive organs, infuSes fresh vitality into the
whole system and gives that chcerfulness
to the temperament, which is the most
valuable offeminine attractions. The pro-
prietors feel themselves hattered from the
fact that many of the most prominent med
ical gentlemen in the Union have bestow-
ed encomiums upon the Bittcrs, the virtues
of which they have frequently tested and
acknowledged. There are numerous couu-
terfeits offered for sale, all of which are
destitute of merit, and positively injurious
to the system. .-rzF aza r5s.

ment Among the causes of dead letters,
is the number of post offices of the same

compound, long and difficult names. This
should be remedied by Congress at once.
But in the large majority of cases the
cause of letters not reaching their destina-

+ FROZEN TO DEATH.-We have been fur
nished with the following particulars of
terrible affair that occurred ut Colchester,
in this county, on Thursday evening of
last week There has been residing in
that place, a. family by the name of Craig,
and being poor, the wife was in the habit
of going out to wash for the neighbors,
and on Thursday last she went as usual to
her labors. After doing her days work
she started, about seven o'clock, for her
home, but she never reached it. Her hus-
band supposing that she had remained
where she had been ut work, on account of
the cold, made no search for her that night.
But in the morning he started out for the
village, (the family living about one half
mile west of the town. and made some in-
uuiries about her, and ound that she
had started for home the evening before,
and also that she was partially intoxica-
ted when she left. He Immediately COM
mcnced II SEARCH and soon found her on
the prairie near the railroad traCk-a fro

down in the snow, and, unable to get upon
her feet, she had crawled around in the
snow upon her hands and knees, and quite
Il large place was trampled over, showing
that she struggled hard to save her life
Her hands were clenched and frozen, and
in fact her whole body WAS frozen solid
Upon the same evening that the above
occurrence took place, a man numcd Dan
iel Mccartney, also living in Colchester,
WAS nearly frozen to death. He had been
drinking poor whisky during the evening,
and finally started for home. He was
found about three o'clock next morning,
in shed asleep, and nearly dead. His
hands and feet were very badly frozen, but

OSE of the most eminent men of the
American Missionary Board (says the Bos-
ton ZFayeler) sends letter in regard to
the present extraordinary condition of
affairs in the Eastern world, in view of the
powerful expeditions fitting out in France
and England for that quarter. Hs writes
under dated of China, October l. 1859:
"The present attitude of the Eastern
world is most remaI kabIe, and it is begin
ming to attract the attention OF people of
all nations and of all classes. Not only
are these empires and kingdoms rich in
natural productions, but they are so pop
ulous that it is estimated we have here in
our empire, and speaking one and the
same language, third part of the whole
human family. So the records testify, and
these records seem every way worthy of
credence. In the destinies of these mass
es of human beings no one who has hu
man sympathios can be unconcerned, or
view their present condition without deep
concern and emotion.
"Chiua, Japan, Cochin China, and Siam
are all in q transition state. With the
Chinese a third English war seems already
to have been begun, for the treaties of
1858, formed between the Chinese Com
missioners and the English and the French

A GEORGIA CRITIcIsN ON THE ALABAMA
SExGTE.-The Senate of Alabama having
passed series of brave resolutions, re-
commenting the Governor to call con-
vcution to consider how to protect the
State in case q Republican President
"seizes" the Government, the Atlanta ga
American says: "The simple meaning of
the preamble and resolution PASSED by the
Alabama Senate is the same as that of
Democratic resolutions generally, viz: AS
long as our leaders can retain power and
govern the country, no matter what they
do, we consider the Union great blessing,
and the paramount public good;' but just
as soon as or leaders lose posOer, or when
ever they have so misgovcrned the coun-
try, and become so corrupt that the people
thrcaten-and only threaten-to eject them,
then, in our judgement, the time has come
to dissolve the Union! That is the gist of
the whole of their resolves, editorials, and
speeches"

SPEAKING of Mexico, the N. Y. TImeS
says in the article of silver alone the en-
ergy displayed by our adventurous coun-
trymen in that quarter of the world, and
the hope of just such a consummation as
Mr.. McLane has now achieved, have given
an enormous impulse to our importation
from Mexico during the last two years.
In the year ending June 80, 1856, our i'm
ports OF silver from Mexico reached, all
told. the snm of s2,67s, 600 In the year
ending June 80, 1857, they amounted to
$4,s22, 600. They are still increasing. On
Staten Island, and at other points along
our Atlantic coast, great smelling works
are even now busy with the Mexican metal;
and rs the annual shipments of silver to
England from Mexico, illegal and legal,
have amounted to more than $50, 900, 900,
it is evidently quite reasonable to antici-
pate that ut no distant date our silver trade
alone with Mexico, under proper condi-
lions and care, will equal, if not exceed,
in value our golden traffic with California
itself --. .-..E.-s-H

DIR. MUIRoE, of S. c., the owner of two
plantations, and negroes sufficient to work
them, was arrested few days ago as a
suspicious character by vigilance com
mittee in Eufala, Ala. The Doctor was
peddling plows, and it was hard to be-
lieve that so wealthy a man would turn
"traveling Yankee" A friend who knew
the Doctor at home happened to be in
town, however, and hearing of the diff!
Guilty he was in, went to the place where
the committee were trying him, and when
he entered and found DIR. N. occupying
chair, and undergoing an examination un-'
der such peculiar circumstances, he was
SO astonished that he exclaimed, "why,
DR.. Mulroe !" and burst out into loud
laugh, while the Doctor, overcome with
his feelings, burst into tears, and the sym
patty was so intense that the whole COM
mittee were soon in tears. AS finale, all
pledged themselves to sell as many plOws
as they could.

TIE correspondence which passed be
tween Mr.. Grow, of Pennsylvania, and Mr.:
Branch, of North Carolina, relative to the
sparring match in the House of Represeu-
tatives last week, out of which it was
thought duel would result, has been
published by Mr.. Branch. We are not OF
those who think that it is always neces-
sary, lin case of a difficulty or Emisupder-,
standing between gentlemen, that they
should make targets of themselves to be
shot at. It is only in extreme cases, il
ever, that such course should be resorted
to for the settlement of difficulty, and
we are, therefore, in this case, glad that Mr..
Grow has had the good sense and the moral
courage to adopt the course he has and
decline meeting, yet standing up man,
fully and refusing to retract or recall my
thing said by him in the debate out of
which the difficulty originated, but init
mates, in unmistakable language, that he
is prepared, at all times, to defend himself,
from any assault that may be made upon
him. In this course we are persuaded that
Grow will not only be sustained BY his
constituents, but by the public at large,
for it is generally conceded, so far as COM
ments of the press have fallen under our
observation, that there was nothing said
by Mr.. Grow to call for such meeting
The matter should be allowed to drop at
this point, and we hope it will.
