Fine Brandy.—Messrs. D. P. Black & Co.,

A Word to tl«e Afflicted.
I The Nervous Tonic is now regarded by all
scientific men to be superior to any prepara
tion ever before presented to suffering humani
ty, as by its corroborating influence on the
system the susceptibility to disease is lessened,
and to those pre-disposed to repeated attacks
of chills, fever and ague, or any kind of fever
this remedy should by all mean9 be used, and
to those residing in miasmatic districts where
diseases of this character are always incident
to the climate they should never be without it.
Cholera, Diarrhea, Bloody Flux, etc.,
ETC._There is no disease that prostrates hu
man beings in so short a time and that renders
the system so unconscious of the remedies
when applied as these; and it therefore be
hooves all persons who value their lives
dearer than anything else remember that “de
Jays are dangerous.” As soon as you feel the
. slightest symptom of disease call for a bottle
Hof Sledge’s Cholera or Diarrhea Syrup, one
lldose of which if taken in time will relieve
Igvou. Remember, this is no cunningly devised
ffijuimbug. as we have the evidence to piove the
■tact. All we ask is a fair trial. For coughs
Hfrolda, asthma, bronchitis, consumption, etc.,
nsc Dr. Sledge’s Hoarhound Pectoral. All the
ijubove are for sale at the Drug Stores and upon
jSSftnquiry may be found in all the towns and
t Jjrillages. See advertisement. sep4

' #lluding to the doleful remarks of North
||em journals on the alleged filling up of
She mouths of the Mississippi, states that
■he detention of so many vessels at the
Present time at the bars is not occasioned
Jby any diminution of water, or any accu
mulation of mud, but by the increased
draft of water required by vesselsof great
er burden than those formerly used in the
trade. •• Ten or fifteen years ago,” says
(the Delta, “ a ship carrying 2,500 bales of
fiotton was not thought of for our eom
i%terce. Now 4.000 and 5.000 bales are
,• common cargo, and there is a ship now
iapading at our wharves which will take
7,000 bales.”

,1 K6§“ Austria is an Empire of shreds
And patches. Austria proper bears about
■he same proportion to the rest ot it, that
a button does to a coat—just big enough
bold the thing together. She has been
.Clurrounding herself with territories, piece
meal, for three centuries. Her Galicia is
gk slice off Poland. Her Bukovina is a
•lice of Turkey. Lombardy and Venice
are fragments broken from Italy. Bohe
mia and Syria she wrested from their
German princes, and Hungary from the
tygars. In traveling through her do
minions, you meet four distinct races of
toen, speaking five different languages.
At Vienna you talk to them in French;
•t Prague you must speak German; at
Pesth the dialect is Maygar ; at Milan it
jp Italian; at Cracow it is Polish ; and at
Bucharest the vernacular is Turkish.
1’J An Outside view.—There is a magic
in the name of Jo Lane. The other day
our city postmaster discovered, on the out
side of an old brown envelope, the talis
naanic name of Jo Lane, whereupon he
ftotirished his old hat, and shouted most
jubilant ; and as the wondering crowd
pressed round to know the why of such an I
o» hurst of vociferation, the postmaster
hlld up to their querying gaze the old
brown envelope, on which was written, in
aiflumsy hand, “ Free—Jo Lane, M. C.”
At sight of this the shout increased, and
all were ready to bet that Oregon was ad
mitted sure. And then, further down on
the side, was written, in such a manner
that most that gazed got wondrous wise,
“ To the Governor of the State of Ore
gon.’ Oh, how that crowd would like to
get a peep at the inside of that old enve
lope ! [People’s Press, OrRgon, Feb. 4.
-The New York News says : “ Within
on* weeK we have had but five murders, three
rapes, eight suicides, forty-two burglaries,
OU" h liidrf'd and twenty-two ordinary robbe
rs , and not more than five hundred assaults and
ba te-i*s.” What a modest bill of crime for
of‘‘ week! It is not much more than the
W^iole South put together.

Nf.w Discovery.—The Helena Southron of
the 23d ult., has the following :
The high waters of last and this year, have
put our citizens to observing the signs. It has
satisfactorily been ascertained by Mr. Miles,
the cut-off gentleman, that the river does not
get its highest at Helena for two weeks after
its highest point at Memphis. The reason is
the water runs out of the Mississippi river
into the St. Francis bottom, which retards it
two weeks, and when the river is falling at
Memphis it will be rising at Helena, because
the water from the St. Francis comes in as
a new feeder. More than two weeks ago
the river at Memphis was within 6J inches
of high-water mark, and at that time it was
four feet below high tide at this place.
Hereafter we will be prepared to ascertain the
|J1 CC13C U 111 U till L Ul VYfliCi uiai. mu
na two weeks before-hand, by taking the river
while on a stand or falling at Memphis. This
will give ample time and due notice to com
mence repairing levees.

"newsTtems, &c.
Hayti.—Gen Geffrard, who has driven out
Soulouque, is said to be a far more intelligent
man than his predecessor, but has some obsta
cles to contend with. Some idea may be
formed of the extent of knowledge among the
people, by the fact that the leading newspa
per gravely names the appearance of the late
comet as a heavenly precursor of Geffrard,
and a presage of happiness for the nation.
Another Star in the Firmament of
States.—Congress passed an act in 1818 pro
viding that one new star shall be added to the
national flag on the 4th of July next succeed
ing the admission of a new State. So that the
number will remain 32 until next 4th of July,
after which it will be 33.
Removal of the University of Missis
sippi.—A strong feeling is said to be mani
festing itself in North Mississippi favoring the
removal of the State University from its pre
sent location either to Jackson or to Canton,
Mississippi.
Death of a Fine Poet.—We see it an
nounced that T. K. Hervey, the poet, died in
England February inn, in me nrty-nrtn year
of his age. He was editor of the London
Athenaeum from 1816 to 1854. and had previous
ly been editor of “ Friendship’s Offering” and
“ The Literary Souvenir.”
-Since the issue of the first patent for
the sewing machine, in 1842, about 285 patents
have been granted for improvements on it.
Sensible.—The raining of brimstone upon
the earth recently, has been creating a small
stir. A writer in the Vicksburg Whig, sign
ing himself “ Countryman,” says that the won
derful phenomenon occurs every spring, and is
nothing more than the pollen from vegetation
in bloom, which falling U) the earth, is car
ried by the rain and deposited in low and un
even places on its surface.
- The Havana correspondent of the Sa
vannah Repulican writes: During the years I
have resided in this Island, the average annual
number of Africans imported has been about
8,000. Last year, however, that number was
nearly trebled—23,000 having been imported.
- Rev. Dr. Thomas Curtis, who lost his
life by the burning of the North Carolina, is
the “dissenting minister of England” referred
to in the last number of the Bibliotheca Sacra
as the first to discover and prove the fact that
two editions of authorized version of the Bible
were printed in the year 1611. He came to
this country twenty years ago. and has since
been pastor of churches in Maine and South
Carolina.
_The New Orleans papers announce the
death of Judge Strawbridge, who had been a
resident of that city for forty years.
Cotton Factory in Vicksburg.—$30,000
have been subscribed for the establishment of
a cotton factory in Vicksburg, and those en
gaged in the enterprise have no fears of being
able to raise $60,000, the sum of cash with
which it is proposed to commence operations.
-The “ Black Doctor,” as he is called
who has gained such celebrity in Paris, is a
Japanese. He has recently cured Adolphe
Sax, the inventor of the horn bearing his
name, of a malignant cancer, and has thereby
added much to his reputation.
-The Louisville Courier says :
It affords us the highest satisfaction to an
nounce that at the municipal election in Lex
ington, ou Saturday, the entire Democratic
ticket was elected, together with a majority of
tha board of councilmen.
War Forces in Europe—What France
May Have to Fight Against.
The New York Tribune bus a state
ment showing the force that Austria, Prus
sia and Bavaria could bring against
France in the event of war. It computes
it at one million four hundred and eigh
teen thousand, and says:
The forces at the disposal of Germany
are so immense that, if they ore directed
with unity and firmness, she need not fear
an attack made simultaneously by France,
Italy and Russia. Whether they will he
so used is doubtful. But if in a general
war petty jealousies, indecision arid rou
tine should hamper the acts of their ar
mies and insure defeat, then the present
Governments of Germany may pack their
trunks. They will soon have to decamp.
The Germany of 1859 is as different
from the Germany of the pence of Basle,
of Jena, of AusterlitZ and Wagram, as
France of to-day is from 'revolutionary
France of 1793 and of 1848. If the pre
sent excitement has done nothing else, it
has created a German national feei ng in
every part of the country, even among
those that were formerly accused of French
sympathies.
Napoleon may attempt to play the lib
erator in Italy, but he dare not try the
game on the Rhine, and even if partly
successful in war, he would only provoke
revolution in Germany, which would in
sure his ultimate defeat, and engender by
its example his own already tottering
throne.
Nf.groes Going South.—The Weldon (N.
C.) Patriot says that two thousand negroes
passed through that place during the month of
January, and not less than fifty thousand, it is
informed, went into the cotton regions during
the last year.
