The Concert Last Night.—The Concer
given by the ladies, last evening, for th
benefit of the “ Prairie County Agricultura

to be remembered by those who attended.—
The audience was large, and composed of thos<
who properly appreciated the musical talen
^ presented. Where each performed their par
j, so well, it would be out of place to designat
I those who seemed to be the favorites of th<
fieilgllteu lUIUIIg. A lie yi uuiiug {'•'-ovii
ted a list of twenty-three pieces, seven o
which were repeated at the almost universa
request of the audience.
May each successive Agricultural Exhibi
tion be graced with similar demonstration
mi the part of our fair friends, and may the;
ever find, as they did last night, an audienci
that fully appreciates their worth.

We love the precepts for the teacher’s sake

I BY TELEGRAPH!
ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.
i. Threatening Rumors from Italy — The
• American Minister Imprisoned at Pekin.
i New York, October 14.—The British
North American mail steamship Africa
arrived at this port to-day. She sailed
- from Liverpool on Saturday, the 1st inst.,
‘ and brings two days later advices than
l those received per the steamship City of
Manchester yesterday.
The rumors from Italy are of u threaten
ing character. The Emperor Napoleon
r repudiates the idea of placing Prince Na
’ poleon on the throne of Italy. Later ac
r counts received from China confirm the
' rumor of the nominal imprisonment of the
American minister at Pekin.
The steamships Bavaria and Arago
have arrived out. Prince Napoloon left
Zurich without having an interview with
t the Plenipotentiaries The Zurich con
ference continues, but its proceedings are
I not known.
; It is asserted that the King of the Bel
• gians’ visit to the Emperor at Bearreiz, re
■ ferred solely to the debt that Belgium
t owes France.
France.—Active preparations of naval
■ armaments continues throughout France,
: and her fortifications are being strength
. ened.
: Austria —It is vaguely reported that
I Austria is seeking to negotiate a loan in
London.
Italy.—The rumors from Italy arg
i conflicting. It is reported that Austria
and Sardinia are making warlike prepara
. lions; also that the French army of oc
cupation is to be reinforced, and that the
Dukes of Modena and Tuscany have a
; large force to attack the army of Central
Italy. Another authority states that the
Duke of Tuscany will regain his throne
, by an appeal to universal suffrage.
Naples.—Rumors are current, (but
, they are contradicted) of disturbances in
. Naples.
Spain.—The Spanish Government de
clines England’s offer to medinte between
her and Morocco. The Paris Pays says:
i “U. S. Minister Ward and the American
legation were conveyed to Pekin in a
huge traveling box, from which only the
• sky was visible. They were well-treated
at Pekin, but were confined to a house,
• and not allowed to see anything while
awaiting an interview with the Emperor;
after this interview, they may return in
the same manner as they came.”
The Capture of Schamyl.—Schamyl,
the Circassian hero, who figured about as
extensively during the Crimean war as
Garibaldi did in the Italian war, and in
much the same way, has been captured at
last by the Russians. After an assault
upon Guilt, the Russians were victorious,
and the mountain chieftain, with his sons
and family, fell into their hands. The
Russian loss was very small. Schamyl
has waged a war against the conquerors
for upwards of thirty years.
A Reminiscence of the War of 1812.
The recent disaster to British arms at
Peilio has recalled the capture of the U.
S. frigate President, during the last war
with England, in consequence of the con
nection of Admiral Hope with both affairs.
The President was captured by a British
squadron off New York, in January, 1815,
one of the ships being the frigate Endy
mion, commanded by Capt. Cope, who as
Admiral, was recently repulsed so severe
ly by the Chinese at Peilio.
---——
Beautiful Sentiment.—The late em
inent Judge, Sir Allen Parker, once said,
at a public meeting in London: “We live
in the midst of blessings till we are utterly
insensible nf ibeir rrreatness. and of the
source from whence they flow. We speak
of our civilization, our arts, our freedom,
our laws, and forget how large a share is
1 due to Christianity. Blot Christianity out
of the pages of man's history, and, what
would his law have been—what his civili
zation ! Christianity is mixed up with our
' very being and our daily life; there is not
1 a single familiar object around us which
1 does not wear a different aspect, because
the light of Christian love is not on it—not
■ a custom which cannot be traced in all its
■ holy healthful parts to the gospel.”

A writer in the Rochester (N. Y.)
Democrat denies the impossibility of a
1 person with resolution, determination and
perseverance breaking himself of the
habit of opium eating. He is now an old
' man of seventy, and for four years has
not used the drug in any shape, tllough
before that he bad been an opium eater
* for forty years. When he commenced
breaking himself of the habit, he was
1 using the opium at the rate of eighty
! grains per day, and it took him about two
1 years to accomplish his purpose. Cannot
5 inveterate tobacco chewers and whisky
1 drinkers cure themselves of the habit in
the same way ?

late improvement in plows, (known as Har
ris’twelve pointed shovel and turning plow,)
would inform the planters of said county that
tie is prepared to receive and fill all orders,
which will be done in regular turn, notifying
:he person ordering, as soon as ready.
This is no Yankee humbug fot speculation,
but was gotten'up in the South, by an expe
rienced workman, on scientific principles, to I
ruit the wants of the cotton growing cominu- •
lity, and five minutes examination will satisfy 1
;he most credulous, that it is the neatest, best,
ind in tile end, the cheapest plow ever of
fered.
They will be put up at Atlanta, Prairie
county, under the superintendence of an cx
lerienced workman and no means or time will
le spared in making them neatand durable.
The advantages of this over all other plows
;o the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go
ng to the shop, time saved in changing plows
ind the smith’s bill. In this you have four
iistinct plows, all working perfect, (no sub
stitute in either,) which yon can change at
ileasure on any part of your farm, no other
:ool being required but jyour clevis pin; first,
rou have a small shovel, suited for all ordi
nary purposes of that tool, by adding one
nould, either right or left, you have a good
aiming half shovel for ridging and hilling and
ilace a cutter before it and you have an cxcel
ent new-ground plow; in the third place, put
in both moulds ami you have a large shovel,
lerfoctly suited to breaking out the middles
if cotton rows; and fourth, by reversing the
moulds of the large shovel, you have a good
cotton sweep, all four working better than you
can got any common smith to make of wrought
iron. In addition you have, by adjusting the
joint, (which is made of tile best of wrought
ilow steel,) five extra points and eleven extra
iharpenings, over other plows, which is said,
iy some of tilts most prominent planters in
North Mississippi, to lie sufficient for five
crops; and all this for SO 50-100, without
cutter, or $7 50-100 with cutter attached;
these are shop prices. 1 will send them to
Brownsville or Hickory Plain, in lots of 20
for $3 per lot or to lies Arc, at $0 per lot.
Terms invariablj cash on delivery of :
the plow. C. A. HARRIS. i
