Facts vs. THEoRIEs.-"Give me place to
rest my lever on says Arehimedes, land
will move the world. s''Give me pure and
unaduiterated drugs says MedicJls. of the
olden time. "and will cure disease
In one sense, both of these learned pundits
were the veriest charlatans. They knew there
wasfno Plsiceato,rest their levers on,l either to
move the world or to cure disease, Mechan-
ism was in backward state, and the medical
profession was but another name for sorcery
and all the adjuncts of magic filters and
charms against the effect of ''eviI eye, AEc.''
But these latter days have borne unto us
something more than even superstition and
its crew ever ,dreamt of in their maddest
philosophy. In these days of practical sienee,
what was theory of yesterday is fact to-day,
and all the old time notions become as bubbles
IN the SUM- and bnrstIanda break with every
breath, we. draw sstss aasare
Let Archimedes shoulder his lever and we
will find resting place for it to move the
worlds Let mine ancient Medicus pant and
toll no more for ne drugs he SO sorely needs,
for we have them at our hand, ever ready to
serve them at his beck.
Refined in the labratory of DR.. Maggiel, the
finest materials known in the medical profes-
sion are obtainable- by any one. His Bilious,
Dyspeptic, and Diarrhea Pills stand unrivalled,
and his Salve, epemtes with magic eject upon
burns. scalds, and all sores and ulcers of the
skin. ysSaC@ gLBo1Ez4SE2eS
In fact, we think ,Maggiel's Pills and Salve
are the wonder of this century, and we are
happy ia the thought thatmany others of our
brethren of the craft agree with US. We
would earnestly counsel that all families pro-
vide themselves with DE-. MagaISFB Prepara-
tions at once, and keep them ready at hand,
so as to use them at the most cpportune time
and as occasion serves.-4[[y Valley Sentinel.

ATTEMPT OF NEGRoEs TO BREAK JAIL.-
About o'clock, on Thursday morning, a
very daring and partially successful attempt!
was made by portion of the negro prisoners
confined in the Jail to overpower the jailer,
Mr.. N. N. Vincent, and effect their escape.
Mr.. Vincent was in the large room of the jail,
: where the prisoners were confined, and had
stepped out of the room into The passage and
was in the act of locking the door, (Which it
composed of iron, cross oarrea) when pow
ertul negro hurled back the door against Mr.
Vincent, and clasped him around his arms
sad waist. Mr.. Vincent endeavored to get
his pistol from his belt, which tie negro per
ceiviug, released his hold and threw him with
great violence against the walls of the Jail.
Mr.. Vincent recovered himself as quick as
thought, locked the the door Of the room and
fred twice at the retreating negro, but with
out effect. Whilst the scuftle was going on
between NJ. Vincent and the negro, fifteen
or sixteen of the other negroes stepped oHt
Of the room iuto the passage, At the head OF
which is window. This was quickly broken
out, through which the prisoners jumped up
on shed and thence to The ground. The
alarm being quickly given, the citizens and
negro guard rushed to the Jail. and pursuit
was made for those who had succeeded in
getting any distance from the jail. One Of
the prisoners attempting to escape was killeh
by the guard. All but two were recaptured
and lodged in Jail. The negro guard acted
well and deserve great praise for the assist.
ance rendered by them in the recapture Of
the prisoners.

All accounts we hear from Eastern Ala

somewhat idle. Several gentlemen tell us
that the negroes, thus far, work as well in
the cotton as in the coru-fed. The most Of
them require some watching. There now
appears to be no desire to leave the old plant
alton yet the freedmen are scarce who will
make u contract for next year.
The crops generally are below average ones
Many farmers are now buying all the corr
they can, intending next year to plant every
acre of ground in cotton.
All the late Confederate soldiers are a

worthy friend, A. N. Gurley, has rendered his
resignation as mayor of the city of Canton ;
owing TO the demands of his private business.
We hope the city council will not receive his
resignation, but, in lieu Of it, request his
withdrawal of the same, and increase his sal
airy. We reiterete but the sentiment of this
community when we say that A. NJ. Guriey
has proved himself to be an efficient, energet-
ed to promote the best interests of this com.
munity.
