AMIAnLE CREATURE.-The Nashville
(Tenn) Democrat having insinuated that
jefferson Davis is great humbug, the At
lanta (Geo.) Intelligencer thus compliments
his Tennessee brother: "Let the author of
the article in tho Democrat come to At
lanta, and we pledge him our word and
honor that he shall pull cotton or hemp and
stand on nothing The native Tennesseeaus
of our city will act as masters of ceremony
on the interesting occasion. If Mr.. Hurley
will come to Atlanta, we take the response
bility of saying that his tavern bill or his
burial expenses shall not cost him anything.
The only thing which strikes our astonish-
ment is, that the people of Nashville would
tolerate such paper as the Democrat in
their midst. General Jackson, whose bones
repose within twelve miles of the city Of
Nashville, doubtless turned in the grave
when such abominable doctrines were per
mitted to go forth from Nashville paper.

Queer People.

Chambers Journal, discussing recent
book Of Missionary travels in Africa, thus
alludes to one of the tribes which are found
in that terra incognita:
But the strangest of all are the stories
told of the Dokos, who live among the
moist, warm bamboo woods to the south Of
Caffra and Susa.
Only four feet high, of dark olive color,
savage and naked, they have neither houses
nor temples, nor fire nor human food They
live only on ants, mice and serpents, divers
fled by few roots and fruits; they let their
nails grow long like talons, the better to dig
for ants, and the more easily to tear in
peices their favorite snakes.
They do not marry, but live indiscrmin
ate lives ofanimals, multiplying very rapidly
and with very little maternal instinct. The
mother nurses her child for only short
time, accustoming it to eat ants and serpent'
as soon as possible; and when it can helT
itselfit wanders away where it will, and the
mother thinks no moro about it.
The Dokos are invaluable as slaves, and
are taken in large numbers. The slave
hunters hold up bright colored clothes as
soon as they come to the moist, warm bam-
boo woods where these human monkeys
live, and the poor Dokos cannot resist the
attractions offered by such superior people
They crowd round them and are taken il
thousands.
In slavery they are docile, attached, ODE
dient, with few wants and exCGffUHtt heafftth
They have only one fault; love for ants
mice and serpents, and habit of spekinI
to Yer with their heads on the ground anc
their heels in the air. Yer is their idea o
superior power, to whom they talk in thi
comical nature when they are dispirited 0
angry, or tired of ants and snakes, and lon,
for unknown food. The Dokos seem t
come nearest of all people yet discovered t
that terrible cousin of humanitv-the ape.

From Charleston.

The Charleston Is. C) correspondent of
the Philadelphia Inquirer writes under date
Of March 5th: q
am more and moro convinced that the
people are getting bolder in their avowals
of loyalty to the Union. handed a man,
this morning, copy of the Inquirer. He
told me that every paper he could obtain
which spoke patriotically of the Union and
the Constitution were Immediately snatched
up by many of his friends, and that he
knew of hundreds of working-men who are
longing to be free from the despotism un-
der which they live. The Union is not
dead yet. 1t lives in thousands of hearts
even in South Carolina.
The intelligence has just reached the
Mercury office, from Montgomery, that jeff,
Davis has vetoed that part of the new Con-
stitution which prohibits the slave trade,
and il is rumored here that he was notified
to do so by the South Carolina and Missis
sippi delegations under threat that they
would secede. This bogus government viii
soon break up. All things now seem to b.
working together for good. This is tn
first proof Of the justice of Mr.. Lincoln

A VALUABLE DIsoovERY.-Prof. j. B.
Turner writes to the Prairie Farmer that
through succession of experiments on
himself, his children, his horses and other
persons, he has discovered that coal oil is a
certain and speedy remedy for scrofulous
eruptions, and all kinds of local diseases,
such as rheumatism, pains in the side,
shoulders, back and joints, Group, sore throat,
bruises, sprains, cuts, and decorations of all
sorts, on men and animals. He mentions
several cases in his own family where the
application of this oil gave instant aud per
manent relief and finding its effects so ben
efcial, he has thought proper to make the
discovery known to the public.

A SINGULAR THEORY REGARpNo DIP
rHER1A.-A writer in the Farmiugton (Me,)
Patriot suggests that "tae immediate pre-
disposing cause of the diptheria is the ex-
haustion of potash in the blood-leaving
the vital tide too nearly like mere colored
acidulated water. He suggests also that
the too free use of acid fruit--the apple for
instance, in connection with the decrease of
the use Of potash or saleratus in cookery,
has tended to acidulate the blood and pre-
pare the victim for disease.

THREE ROSES.

She gave me one-a year ago.
A rose whose crimson blush revealed
The secret that its heart concealed.
And whose half shy, half tender grace
Blushed back upon the giver's face.

To hope was not to know.
just when the red June roses blow
plucked her one-a month ago.
Its half-blown crimson to eclipse,
laid II on her smiling lips
The balmy fragrance of the South
Drew sweetness from her sweeter mouth.
Swiftly do golden hours creep
To hold is not to keep.
The red Juue roses now are past,
This very day broke the last
And now its perfumed breath is hid,
With her, beneath cofin-lid;
There will its petals fall apart,
And wither on her icy heart -
At three red roses cost
My world was gained and lost.

The National Iatellieencer thus alludes 10
report which has been published, that
the epresent Government of the United States
had $6,000,000 in the public Treasury at
the commencement of its term:
Attention has been drawn TO statement
in some Of the newspapers, that on the NOR
ming of the 9Th inst, when the present Sec
rotary Of the Treasury entered upon his du-
ties, there was balance in the Treasury,
subject to the drafts of the Treasurer and
disdursing officers, Of six million dollars.
On examination into the facts, it appear
ed by the last returns that balance Of threh
millions was held subject to the Treasures
draft by the several repositories, including
Now Orleans, Mobile, and Sos francisco;
and by the last returns, the several deposi-
tories held two million niue hundred thou
sand dollars, subject 10 tie check Of certain
disbursing officers TO whon that amount
has been advanced for expenditures for spe-
cifc purposes
These together make indeed about six
millions of dollars; but il is obvious that
not one half of that sum can in any sense
be regarded as available for the current de-
mands for the public service. Secretary
Dix confessedly managed tho affairs of the
Treasury with singular ability during the
brief period of his administration, but be
had not address enough to get possession of
Government money held by the Sub-Treas-
uries in the seceeding States.

Progress of wealth i'm Great Britain.
An income-tax return has been issued,
which shows what progress has been max
ing within the last few years. The total
amount of income and annual value Of
property assessed to the income-tax in the
United Kingdom, has risen from 930S, bly,
$50 in 1854 to 9335,63o,554 in 1S60.-
The increase Of taxable income in England
in the six years has been EGG, 6,34S,695, and
in Ireland G1,7O1 ,999, but in Scotland
there has actually been decrease of $685.
$50. This decrease has arisen solely from
a very large falling off in the returns under
Schedule D-the profits of trades and pro-
fessions, DC. The income taxed under that
schedule in England rose from G76,215,-
936 in 1854 to Gsl 1921, ,267 in 1860, and
in Ireland from 94,621 ,O69 to 94,s91 ,652,
but in Scotland it fell from 912, ,1s5, 1924 in
1855 to Gs,626,144 in 1860; in 1858, af
ter the commercial crisis at the end of 1857,
it fell f2 100000 below the previous year,
and has never recovered.
The income under schedule A-the an
nual value of lands houses &c.-has risen
greatly in all three kingdoms; in England
it was 899,274,SO9 in 1854, and 9I12,-
0s2,7 ,749 in 1860; in Scotland it was 811,-
947,791 in the former year, and 913, 1914
$50 in the latter; in Ireland it was &11,-
767,s1O, and 12,863,8 respectively; an
increase of almost sixteen millions pounds
in the whole, nearly half of which amount
is from houses, and another quarter from an
increase in the profit of railways. A very
large increase has taken place also in the
Schedule E-public Offices, pensions and
stipends-from 914,345,552 in 1854, to
Gl9,936,22O in 1860. The total income
assessed to the income tax in 1860 was, in
England, 5s2,71s,o49; in Scotland, f29,-
914,124; in Ireland &23,o99,Os1.
