lady who manufactured the dress which the
little one wore before her death and was bu--
ried in, visited washerwoman for the pur
pose of employing her to do some work.
while conyersing, the lady's eyes were at
tracted by chiid's dress which hung upon
a clothes line. She was startled, for, the
dress resembled the one in which her friends
child was shrouded. The visitor asked pei
mission to examine ii, and her request was
complied with. What was her horror to find
that it was the very dress which she had pat
together with her own hands. and which She
had seen her little favorite wear several
times There could be no mistake about it.
for tie lady knew her own work, and the ma
terials were of a unique pattern.
The visitor asked the washerwoman how
she came by the dress. The answer was
that one day she was washing at Doctors
house. and the Doctors wife made her pres
ent of it for her little girl. The lady instant
ly left the house and stated her suspicious
to friends. The result was that the child's
coffin was opened and found empty. This
discovery created such an excitement that
the police were appealed to, and other collins,
deposited under the church by the same un-
dertaker were opened and found vacant.
The bodies have been removed and sold to
surgeons for dissecting purposes. 1t is hard
to believe that such sacrilegious transactions
could be performed in this enlightened age,
and by funeral undertaken who has enjoyed
the confidence of the community for some
years, but the facts seem 10 be substautiated
by such evidence that the Committee of the
City Government having charge OF such mat
ter is investigating, and we will call npon
them to admit representatives of the press 10
their sessions, land let the public know the
worst. The respectable undertakes of Bos-
ton should demand it for the sake of their
regulations.

TALK-There has been some talk on the
flags during last week that two Eales of the
new crop cotton would be received by the
Vicksburg packet Mary T., last evening.
True, as predicted, she brought in three bales,
all full, well-made and packed bales-noth-
ing decisive about them. One bale from Eli
Tullis' plantation, Tensas, consigned to John
Watt i Co.; one bale from Col. Rivers plan
tation, Concordia, consigned to Rotchford,
Brown q Co.; one bale from Col. Bluett's,
Pointe Coupee, consigned to John Watt Il Co.
This is the earliest receipt OF cotton from
the banks of the Mississippi on record. We
wonder what our old citizen, Mr.. Watt-wiho
is now absent for health, and who has been
largely engaged in cotton for nearly forty
will think of receiving two bales of cotton
the 22d of July, of the seasons growth? At
the some time, this early commencement of
picking and early receipts is no sign that the
crop of this season will be an extensive one.
The dry weather is making sad innovations
on the very favorable prospects OF last month.
The fertility and exuberance of the rich bot
tom lands of Louisiana are fully corrobora-
ted in the short time that it requires to bring
cotton to maturity, as eyinced by the gath
ering now going on, as it is only about ff-
teen weeks since the seed was planted. New

Death of Hon. Sam. Caruthers

Hon. Sam. Caruthers. conspicuous in the
politics of Missouri, and prominent citizen
of the SOUTHEAST, died at Cape Girardeau,
last Friday. He had been in ill-health for a
year or more, and the intelligence of his
death was not unexpected by his friends. Mr..
Caruthers was the Representative in the
Thirty fourth and Thirty fifth Congresses,
from the Seventh District, having been elect
ed first as Wing. and afterwards as an
American. He was a native of Tennessee,
and was a member of q family eminent in
that State for their talents. social virtues and
influence. One of his brothers, Hon. Robert
l.. Caruthers, was formerly Representative in
Congress from the Fifth District in Tennessee,
and is now one of the Justices of the Su-
preme Court of that State. Another brother,
Hon. Abram CarutherS, was for many years
an eminent Circuit Judge. and is now the
chief Professor in the Law School at Leba-

CorToS KILLED By HEATED AIE--We learn,
saws the Covington (Ga) Times of the 18th
instant, that during the gale of Thursday
last, Judge PAGES plantation was visited by
. heated air, known in tropical climates as
..Simoom,D which is often destructive to ami
NAL, as well as vegetable life The passage
was confined to scope of about one hundred
yards in width, killing the cotton on proml-
nent points where it touched the ground.
The cotton presents tie appearance OF having
been scorched with fire, the leaves being per-
fectIy dry in 80 minutes after the storm
This is rather a singular phenomenon for this
latitude, and doubtless is the first instance
on record, ola Simeon wind passing through
Middle Georgia. We have heard OF several
plantations where cotton was killed in the
same storm

Democracy at Greeneville.

The Breckenridge Ratification meeting at
Greeneviile, on Saturday last, is said to have
been quite failure, and in more respects
than one. We can excuse Col. Watkins for
failure in speaking. First, he was disap-
pointed in not finding a larger crowd, as
they were able to hold their meeting in the
Depot building, rather small affair. He
was disappointed in the sentiments of Gov.
johnson, and had to conform his opinion to
those of the Governor, which destroyed the
set speech he had prepared.
Gov. johnson told the crowd, that there
was now, before the country, no National
Democratic tcka-that both were sectional
that Democrats might feel at liberty to vote
for either-and for his part, he would vote
for Breckenridge, because he was Southern
man, and favored his Homestead Bill. His
speech was in the spirit of lament, on account
of the rupture in the party, and he counseled
Democrats not to make war upon Douglas
men, as they could do nothing without their
help!
Col. Haynes, in his speech is reported to
have differed with the Governor in this re-
spect, and to have spoken his mind very
freely, as to the Douglasites. Upon the whole,
they afford the Democratic masses no sort OF
consolation. They are in bad box, and we
advise them, in good faith, to come over to
BELL and EVERETT, and thus support real
National, as well as Conservative and Union
tieket-RnozUiile Wkig.

New Jersey Politics.

Both wings of the Democracy held their
State Conventions in New Jersey last
Wednesday. The DOUGLAS Convention was
called under the authority of the State Cen
trail Committee. A full electoral ticket was
put in nomination, pledged to DOUGLAS and
JOHNSON. A portion of the delegates favored
a union ticket with the BRECKINRIDGE-YAN-
CzY wing, but this programme was oTerruled
The other wing of the party put out a
ticket also, thus insuring complete and IT.
remediable division.
The Constitutional Union Party held its
State Convention the same day, and also
put in nomination an electoral ticket.

A Simeon.

A regular simeon, the hot breath of which
the inhabitants Of Arabia are wont to escape
by falling on the face and holding the breath
to save from suffocation. seems to have visited
Kansas and Western Missouri on Monday,
July Slh. The Grasshopper Falls (Kansas)
Gazette, of the 14th, says:
On Monday last, about halfpast twelve
o'clock p. NJ, gust of air came in at the
open door, so hot that it seemed to make the
lungs crackle and collapse, and brought us
to our feet with loud cry of "house's afire."
During a rapid examination we felt as though
we were breathing fame. We gasped and
sighed, but no relief came.
In ten minutes or more the system ap-
peared to accommodate itself to the increased
heat, and went on with its usual functions,
except strong tendency to gasp for breath,
and some drowsiness, with desire to remain
in quiescent state. Animals were variously
affected. Chickens and pigs felt it most, and
we doubt not some died. Cattle suffered
more with fright than heat. Horses did not
seem to notice it.
The rise iu the thermometer was less than
we thought, averaging only 10 or IL degrees.
1t went from 994 to 1921. and at one time
and continued four hours with little variation {,
when the wind suddenly shifted and grew
cool. What caused it?
The Border Star (MissourD says:
About two o'clock warm breeze COM
menced setting from the south, which in
creased and intensified into hot wind that
continued with a slight intermission until
night. 1t is no exaggeration to say that the
wind was like the breath of furnace.
The Independence {MssourD Herald says:
About one O'Clock a wind sprung up from
the south, and continued to blow until about
sunset, as good simeon as could be gotten
up upon any desert in The tropics. The heat
of the wind was like that of a furnace, and
so intense as to almost scorch the face. We
heard of many who closed their doors and
windows for comfort, though the thermome-
ter stood at one time as high as los degrees.

A correspondent of the Union and Amgi-
can, of yesterday, says, of a letter published
by us the day before, giving an account of a
Douglas meeting in Shelbyville, :: all that is
necessary in reply to the whole article is,
that there were not nine democratic Douglas
proof to the contrary" Our correspondent
did not undertake 10 state the number of
democratic Douglas votes at that meeting
nor did he estimate the number. The Union
and Amaicdn's correspondent does not under
take to deny the statement by our correspon-
dent of what occurred at that meeting, and
We imagine he will hardly do So

~The n. Y. Herald of the oath inst. COM
uits the inexcusable blunder of publishing
Mr.. YANCEY's letter to Mr.. SLAUGHTER, OF
18th June, 1858, as of 18th June, 1860. 1t
isD,t often that in the matter of current facts
and events the N Y. Herald gets two years
behind the times, as it has in the present
case. In politics, however, the Herald is
never very reliable. We have very little
doubt that Mr.. YANCEY entertained precisely
the same views on the 18th June, 1860. that
were expressed in the Scarlet Letter" two
years before; but he did not express them to
Mr.. SLAUGHTER, or anybody else that we
know of, in the same form and in the same
terms. Give the devil his due.

''After the Presidential campain of 1s4s,

back the approach of the stakeholder Records
are dangerous things for politicians, and the
same Dickinson who, while Senator from the
State, offered non-intervention resolutions in
the Senate, can very easily make pro-slavery
speeches in 1860, forgetting when it suits his
purpose, his abolition sentiments in 1S49.
This old political prostitute aspires to great
fre-eating virtue now, but will some day
or other, go back to his former Abolition
habits II is the nature of such characters
to rave when they think that their price has
been denied to them.
