The action of the Royal Baking
Powder upon the dough is simply to
swell it and form LITTLE cells through
every part. These cells are filled with
carbonic acid gas, which passes off
during the process of baking.
The Royal is made from pure grape
acid, and it is the action of this acid
upon highly carboniZed bicarbonate
of soda that generates the gas alluded
to; and these ingredients are so pure
and so Perfectly fitted, tested and
adapted to each other, that the action
is mild and permanent, and is con

Baking Powder will be found sweet

JACKSONVILLE, August Pa des-
perate fight with forty-four calibre
pistols at about three PAGES occurred
here late yesterday evening between
the city marshal, W. A Lark, and a
man whom he was trying to arrest
named Nick. Temple, recently from
Arkansas. Some ten or twelve shots
were exchanged in rapid succession,
only one taking effect, striking the
marshal in the abdomen. Temple
retreated into his brothers residence
and secured a shotgun and charged
the marshal about the distance of one
block but was prevented from doing
further harm, He then returned
to his fathers house and de-
fled the officers and crowd
outside, refusing to surrender
An entrance was effected, however
and he was brought out and placed
under strict guard. The excitement
and Indignation run high among the
many friends of the marshal, and nc
doubt they felt like dealing s1mmarily
with the prisoner. Good order was
however, soon retored, and the pris.
oner was taken to the Jail to-day by
Deputy Sheriff Bottom. The present
condition of Marshal Lark is very
critical, the bullet as yet not having
been found. He was good officer
and has done much to rid our town OF
evil doors.
Cotton is opening and being picked
rapidly. The weather is still hot, dry

JUDGE BLACK ON MIR. DAVIS.

About two weeks before his death
Judge Black was visited by CORES
pendent of the New York Herald.
He referred to the letter of Mr.. DAVIS
and the substance of what he said is
given as follows. from memory:
"What folly in Davis to try to make
it appear that South Carolina would
not have been provoked into hoStili
ties had Mr.. Buchanan not supported
Major Anderson in transferring his
force from Moultrie to Sumter! Mr..
Davis earnestly labors toimpress upon
the public mind the belief that South
Carolina was endeavoring to pursue
pacific policy during the three months
preceding the 4th of March. 1861; but
the cold facts of official history bear
testimony that he is not only
in error but that the hot-headed
secesSsionists of South Carolina
were determined to begin the fray.
They had made up their minds for d
fight, and nothing would satisfy them
but blood. Before New Y ears of 1851
the authorities of South Carolina had
taken possession of two forts in
Charleston harbor belonging to the
United States; they had raised thei r
palmetto flag over the custom house
and postoffice in Charleston; had taken
possession of the Charleston arsenal,
with all its munitions of war belong
ing to the Federal government, and,
through the executive of the state,
had insolently demanded the surren-
der to him of the only remaining fort
held by the United States in the har-
Dor, accompanying the demand with a
threat that he Governor Pickens)
would not be responsible for what oc-
CURED if Sumter was not surren-
dered."
Your correspondent remarked: The
| impression is general among Repub-
licans- and the belief has served to
make and keep a, large percentage of
American-born citizens faithful to
the principles of the Republican party
that Mr.. Buchanan erred in permit
| ting the secessionists of South Carroll
ma to take POSSESSION of the forts In
Charleston HafBor aud the other prop
erty Of the United States-the custom

loving deliberate and brief significant
reply: "Mr. Buchanan made the same
grievous mistake in dealing with Sc

1t makes little difference whether
the Russian Bear, in his savage igno-
rance, treads on an English or an
American Jew, the insult done to hui
man nature and human history is the
same. OF course, if Russia has laws
prohibiting Jews from living in st.
Petersburg and Moscow all sorts of
Jews ought to keep away or be will
ing to take the consequences. AS
Americans perhaps we haveno right to
complain, for the Russian opposition
to the Jew is about at par with our
opposition to the Chinaman. The
Jews and the Cinnamon were civil

fathers were savages. But AleXan-
