A Wilful Liar.

On the 25lh of last month, before the Legislature of Illinois, Stephen A. Doug las gave utterance 10 the following dellb- crate lie:
 No sooner have these cotton States seeded than an export duty is levied; and fl they will levy it on tfeTr cotton, do you Lot think they will levy 1t on our pork, and our beef, and our corn, and our wheat and our manufactured articles and all we have 10 sell 2 Then what is the proposi- ton It is 10 enable the tier of States bordering on the Atlantic and the Pacific, and on the Gulf surrounding us on all sides, to withdraw from our Union-form alliances among themselves, and then levy taxes on us without our consent, and col ect revenue without giving us any just proportion or part at all of the amount col
 ected. Gan we submit to taxation with out representation? Several voices No. I Can we permit nations foreign to us to collect revenues off our products fruits of our industry 2"

A FALSE REPoRT.-The report that a portion of Harney's men, from Missouri, had taken Pocahohtas, is not true. It had been reported at Pocahonlas that large Federal force was at Doniphan, Missouri; twelve miles from the line. Scouts were sent out, and the result showed that 600 Arkansans and border Missourians were al Doniphan, besides 300 men at Bucks we'll and some 400 more on the road, but no enemy was found. Our informant, Capt. John L. Black, of Pocahonlas, says Randolph county had 1000 men under arms, and that all were determined to meet the foe on the line and drive them back. Capt. Black in concluding his let ter of Sunday nightlast, says: Although the alarm was false, it has developed the fact that when they conquer Arkansas they will do so through blood"

Old Parson Brownlow.

This old wretch continues his flings at the Southern Confederacy. We have long since doubted the purity of any principle he advocated through his columns. But we have an nantidote for the poison dissem- mated by this deSpicable old reprobate. The editor of the Homer La.) Mad, MT. Blackburn. some time since done up" this slanderer of the South and her rights in the following style:
 Brownlow, the old unwashed fend of hell, who has been permitted to disgrace the fair earth for half century, still con- tinues to pour forth his filth and pollution at all things lovely and pure, which his craven heart envies, but never can reach. Al the last day, when all corruption and baseness becomes to be neuralized, dis solved, changed, mashed and swallowed up in forgetfulness, old Brownlow will be found among the fouIesl black dregs, sim. mering at the bottom of the smoking caul. dron; and he sench that shall rise from the chemical process of his dlution will constitute an anomalous vapor, unfit for even the foulesl of the damned to breathe. Poor old wretch! Let him lester and prowl and howl on earth as long as mer- cifuI and indulgent God will permit-the fulness of damnalion which awaits him for his countless "unpardonable sins will not be abated in It's intense wrath by any stay of judgment which now may seem 10 intervene. Spewed up and hissed into contempt, time and again, by both church and state, he may continue 10 indulge his vulgar and poinless wrath al both; the filthy stream will only flow back upon his own ugly sin-beaten" form. and render him, if possible, more and more uncomeiy in person from day to day, uulII he shall become eff such a thing were possible as uncoulh and revolting in his physique as he is in his morals. Any political party or church organlzation which is befouled by the debased tongue or pen of such an ignus jatuus of humanity, as "Rev. w. G. Brownow, may well afford 10 " stand still'' and claim the appreciation aud con- fdence of ali decent, honest and honora- ble men.

A Proposition to Maj. Anderson.

In referring 10 ihe following notice, tor the information of our readers and the public, says the New Orleans Crescent, IS proper for us to say, that the negroes bought by our friend Judge Cocks out oi a negro yard, where they had been placed by Major Anderson for sale to the highest bidder, without the privilege usually al- lowed families of slaves, of choosing their own masters. Without further comment we submit the communication to the pub lie:
 NEW ORLEANS, May IS, 1861. -Aoj. Robert y7nderson- Late of Fort Sua-
 ter, South Carolina.
 SIR: You hold my three notes for S45Oo each. with about 5000 accumulated interest, all due in the month of March 1862; which notes were given in part pay. ment of twenty-nine negroes, purchased of you in March. 1860. As 1 consider fair play jewel, take this method to notify you, that will not pay those notes but, as neither seek or wish an advan' tage, desire that you return me the notes and the money paid you, and the negroes shall be subject to your order, which you will find much improved by kind traal' ment, since they came into my possession

THE WHITE RIVER MAIL LINE Since the establishment of this line, in July 1855. a greater impetus has been given to business and the White river val ley has increased with rapid strides in all that pertains to rapid improvement in Ag- riculture, Commerce and the Mechanic Arts. True, while White river has had ALL the advantages of navigation, other portions of the State have had compara- lively ALL the advantages in mail facili- ties. But that which we wish to call par ticular attention to is the fact that Lin coln's Government no longer pays Capt. Coles for delivering the mails on White river. The rump Government has btsfsssseaa bttss ste a up emphaically, so far as mail facilities are concerned in this rgion. We still hear of daily lines of stages from Little Rock to Batesville, and we shouldn't won- der that Lincoln patronised certain por- tons of Pulaski county for some time to come. The Kanawha Valley and Sam. Hale are good boats, and as they are now carrying the mails only with hope that the Southern Confederacy will remuner- ate them for it, we believe 1t to be the du- ty of the pubiic to see that they are sus- tained. Seamboats cannot be run with out the ready cash to pay their expenses.
 All Capt. Coles asks, at present, is a patronage sufficient to pay the running expenses of his boats. Unless this is done by travellers and merchants, &c., our mails will be reduced to once week, or, perhaps, once in two weeks. The White river mail boats have ever been punctual as 10 time, and their business transactions unexcepeionable. Let them be sustained.

sGg- The blockade, says the Richmond

g&g- The blockade, says the Richmond DtSpatch, which Lincoln intends for our injury, is working in exactly the opposite direction. We have heard of no less than four important branches of manufacture (two of them indispensable in time of war, ) which this blockade has taught us to~proGuce ourselves. One of these is m anufaclured at less than half the price of the Northern article, and is better in every respect. The truth is, if he will only continue his blockade long enough, he will prove the most efficient ally of Southern manufacturing independence that We could possibly command.

since they have seeded. take this oc- caslon to say no forced loans have been exacted in Georgia of any character what ever. The public debt of Georgia, on the 20th of October last, was $2 ,670 ,75O. To redeem this, besides her taxes, (which have been annually applied to the pay ment of the interest and reduction of the public debt) this State owns the Western and Atlantic Railroad, supposed to be worth S7 100000, which has been paying into the State Treasury $450 900 per an- nun, after paying all expenses, and she owns also about $790, 300 of good bank and railroad slock-in all $7,790, ,900.- The lasl Legislature, however, in view of the anticipated troubles now upon the land, authorized theissue of SIX per cent State Bonds, payable at20 years, for the defence of the State. Up 10 this date the banks of this State and individuals have already voluntarily and periodically taken S330,- 900 of those bonds al par. and as Georgia has abundant means 10 meet any emer- gency, (which fact is well known to her own people, if we need more, we have no fears about getting what money we want at home,

The boat went up and down the river several times on the l6th, but the object of her trips did not transpire.

The Milwaukee .Ssa..aE publishes the
following extract from a letter orrecciyed by
physician IN Milwaukee conveying the
intelligence Of the death Of Dr. Fountain,
of Davenport, Iowa, whose report upon the
therangtic properties OF chloride Of Potassa,
made to the American Medical Association
at their last meeting, and the interesting
experiment in connection with the same
subject, have attracted % much attention
during the past year:
DR. Fountains death occurred on Friday
afternoon last, after great and continued
suffering for week. which he had borne
with uHfinching Christian foFiitudc For
some time. past lie had been continuing,
at the suggestions OF the American 2,c,.i-
cal Association, his researcLes upon the
properties Of chlorate Of potassa, as a re
medy for phthisic, taking the g.ouad That
the article, when pure, was almost entirely
harmless III large doses. Under this con
viction, he took, upon several occasions
doses OF half an ounce, dissolved in one
pint of water. New symptoms occurred
during the day, except promre diuresis
and dlscoioca,!on Of the superficial cirdula-
ton, and he visited his patients as usual
Having eaten hearty supper in the
evening, he returned to his house, where
he was shortly after seized with severe
pains in the abdomen, and so greatly
Frustrated as TO be unable for some time
TO call assistance, being alone in the house.
his wife being absent at the East He ex
pected 10 die in this condition, but bv a
desperate effort he succeeded finally in
calling his neighbors, who sent for his
partner Dir Adler His symptoms were,
after time partially relieved, but soon
he was seized with vomiting, ejectiug a
d..rll-colored creenish fluid, being unable
to retain any nourishment; the secreta-
tions OF the kidneys was also entirely sup
pressed. This condition continued, with !
gradually increasing prostration of the sys-
tenn, (the mind being perfectly clear ior
seven days
ssThe post mortem examination revealed
extensive inflammation and disorganization
along the whole course of the intestinal
canals, with adhcsions acglutinating near
" the whole of the abdominal viscera:
the gall bladder distended with q thick
dark-colored fluid; the kidneys enlarged
and lobulated internally; the internal
surface and substance engorged, and the
uriniferous tubes distended. containing tre-
quent points of q crystalline substance,
which was without doubt chlorate of po-
tassa; and the bladder entirely empty,
contracted and intlamed
As full statement of the case viii be
published, 1t Is unnecessary for me to
dwell further upon il
In the death of Dr. Fountain the profes-
has lost one who was destined to prove
one Of her brightest ornaments, and the
community in which he lived one of its
most valuable citizens.
