No anbesriber Worth retaining will object to
the pay-in-edvan« system. Those wanting to
hear Jenny Lind had to pay in advance, and
what ware her divinest strains compared with
those which flow from editorial pens? You
cant take a seat in a rickety mail coach, or

ing in advance for the risk of being killed.
If you would hear a concert, or literary lec

SHIP CANAL TO THE PACIFIC.
The long-sought for pass for a ship canal
between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific
is said to be found at iast, with absolute cer-
tainty. It is found by the way of the Atrato
river in New Grenada, but not at its head
waters, where it has been previously searched
for and given up as impracticable. The route
discovered is by a branch of the Atrato, which
is called the Tarando river; and it is now
affirmed that a ship canal can be made on
that line, without looks; a statement which
we apprehended is a little extravagant.
The manner of this discovery is this: Some
years ago a number of merchants of New
fork employed engineers to survey the Atrato
route at its head waters. On their report
of its impracticability, one of them. Mr. F. M.
Kelley, persevered in the belief that a route
would ba found further down, and he employ-
ed an engineer to examine the tributaries of
the river. The result was the disoovery of
this pass by the Turando, and a corps of en-
gineers have since explored it througout, dis-
covered a good harbor on the Pacific, and re-
tracted their steps.
| The Atrato is a deepriver of New Grenada,
jemtying into the Gulf about 150 miles from
I the. Panama Railroad. It has a good harbor
at the mouth, and has a depth of fifty feet
for sixty two miles lip to the junction with
the Turando, and a depth navigable for ves-
sels of twelve feet draft for thirty-eight miles
up that river. Thence to the Pacific, the
route is through open cuttiftg in rock for
twenty-five miks. and a.tunnel of three-quar-
ters of a mile.
The point of confluence of the Atrato and
Turando rivers being about equi-distant from
the Ooean, and being only fifteen' feet above
the mean tide, ihe currents in the artificial
work will be the same as in the Atrato river,
and easily overcome by steam- The whole
distance is about 126 miles, of which the ex-
pansive and difficult part is in the twenty six
between the Turando and the Pacific. The
project of a canal requires a width at low wa-
ter, so as to receive the largest class of ships,
with room to pass. The.dredgingand deepen-
ing of the Turando will be required, but if
the project be feasible, it wilt be one of the
grandest over accomplished, and its efftcts'on
the commerce of the world, will be scarcely
less important than the discovery of a new
continent The Pacific will be within a week's
sail for ships from the North Atlantic, and
the voyage round the horn will become an
obsolete enterprise. The saving of distance
from New York to San Francisco will be
15.000 miles, and the trips from India and
the South Sea, from the northwest coast and
and the .North Pacific will be proportionably
reduced in'time. ~ _
These great results are- not, however, to be
obtained without great* cost. The estimate
of t!\e cost of the whole construction is put
at S 150,000,000. This is a large sum. but
really small compared with the advantages
and the profits, if the calculation behalf rea
lized.
The Government of the United States has
been asked to send out a proper corps to
verify and authenticate these surveys, and
thus stamp them with an official character
to assure the confidence of capitalists, and in-
vite the cooperation of Governments. It is
not merely a national matter, but one in
which all nation's have an interest, as afiec
ting the channels and habits of commerce
throughout the world.—AT. O. Pecayune.
A Mother.—The following fine passage,
as true as it is beautiful, is from James's
novel, '"The Qipsey:"—Round the idea of
one's mother, the inan of mind clings with a
fond affection. It is the first thought stamped
upon our infant hearts, when ret soft and
capable of receiving the most "profound im-
pressions, and all the after-feelings of the
world are more or less light in comparison.
I do not know that even in our old age we
do not lookback to that fueling as the sweet-
est we have known through life. Onr pass-
ions end our wilfulness may lead us far from
the object of our filial love; we may learn
even to pain her heart, to oppose her wishes,
to violate her commands, we may become
wild, head-strong, and angry at her councils
or opposition; but when deaify has stilled her
monitory voice, and.nothing but calm mem-
ory remains to recapitulate liar good deeds,
affection, like a flower beaten to the ground
by a past storm, raises up her head and smiles
amidst her tears. Round that idea, as we
have said, the mind clings with fond affection;
and even when the earlier period of our loss
forces memory to be silent, fancy takes ti e
place of remembrance, and twines the image
of our dead parent with a garland of graces,
and beauties, and virtues which we doubt
not that she possessed."

Comparative Strength nf Churches.—It
is generally supposed that the last national
census.did not give the actual number of
members of the leading religious sects in the
Union, but only the capacity of the church
building. This, however, is a mistake. A
writer in the Augusta Chronicle and Senti-
nel quotes from page 138 of De Bow's Com-
pendium of the Census the membership of the
Churches, thus: .
Roman Catholics, 1,173.700 .
Baptist (Regular) 686.807
Presbyterians, Old School, 200,830
do New School, 139.047
do Cumberland, 100,000
Methodist Episcopal (North) 62,9,000
do do (South) 465.553
This shows a total of 2,221,897 Protestants.
But the Episcopalians, Congregationalism,
and many other Protestant sects are included
in the total. Of the three divisions of the
Presbyteri in church enumerated, there are in
the table 549,877 members. The Methodist
church total is 1,095,183, but this does not
i iclude the Methodist Protestant sect.

Weevil* Th<s Houston Telegraph says:
We ha* conversed with several intelligent
farmers, who assure us that the ravages of the
weevil nay be entirely prevented by sprink-
ling a few quarts of salt over every load of
com as it is placed upon the crib. By this
process, if the injury is not arrested, the fanner
w greatly benefitted by feeding bis stock upon
a superior foddep. The shucks are rendered
more palatable and valuable from the effects
«>f the salt The experiment is not costly,
and is well worth a trial.
Gen. Hodstos, in his Know-Nothing let-
ter, Which was paraded through Texas, to
influence the elections, speaks contemptuous-
ly of what he is pleased to call the "modern
Democracy." Now, we would respectfully
suggest, that the "modern Democracy" still
stands where Gen. Houston stood in 1852,
square upon the Baltimore Platform, when
his enthusiasm was so great, as to prompt
him to let off twenty-one speeches in advocacy
of Democratic principles. If to sustain all
the principles embraced in that platform ; if
to advocate a strict construction of the consti-
tution ; to be identified with all those great
principles which have built up the Democra-
tic party, constitute, a ''modern Democrat,"
thfen we are one. If, on the other hand, it is
rieccessary to be an "old Democrat," that the
Catholics must be persecuted, the constitu
tion ruthlessly assailed, the. naturalization
laws so extended as to produce the most dire-
ful consequence, a party indorsed, avowedly
built up upon fee ruins of the Democracy,
illegal oaths administered to freemen, to con-
trol the ballot-box, ..then let it be understood,'
that we do not belong to the "ancient Demo-
cracy." In truth, the Democratic party is
now where it has ever been. It holds to the
same faith, and is actuated by the same mo-
tives.—The term '"modern Democracy," is
used by Gen. Houston in his letter, to throw
sand in the eyes of the people, that he may
the better cover from the public eye his
shameful apostacy.—Item.
A THRILLING INCIDENT-COL. TOW-
LES.
A friend informs us that during the can-
vass of the late election in Alabama, Col.
Dowdell, on a certain occasion addressed a
large assemblage of the People of Chambers
County. Col. Morris G. Towles, formerly
of Pike county, Ala., was present. When
Col. F). had finished his speech, Col. Towles
arofie and stated in substance, that he was
no pub'ic speaker ; he was a plain farmer;
but as he felt a great interest in the issue now
before the country, he would close the exer-
cises of the day by a word of exhortation. And
after he had finished his remarks he said he
would thank some brother to eing that good
old song he had so ofthen heard in Georgia,
bc^innint"^
"Turn sinners turn. wliy trill ye die T"
and all the penitent Know-Nothings would
then be invited to come forward and give
their hands to Bro. Dowdell, in token of their
repentence. Sure enough, as soon as Col. T.
had closed his exhortation, some brother in
the congregation commenced singing the good
old song, and the mourners began to go up,
and they crowded bro. Dowdell so heavily,
that Col. Towles had to assist him in taking
the new brethren by the hand. Suffice it to
say that about forty of the Dark Lanterns
"turned from Ihe error of their way" on the
occasion, and publicly signified their repen-
tance in the manner above stated. That was
a proud day for Dowdell aud Towles and the
Anties of Chambers county ; and the result
of the election shows that their labors were
not in vain.—Empire State.

R. R. REGULATORS.
A New Principle in Medicine, never be*
fore known or possessed by any Purga-
tive, Cathartic, or Auti bilious pills
in use. The t ue way to Purify
' the Blood. Lot si) who
have ever taken Pills
■ read aud investigate
the Theory on
which had-
< ' way's Reg-
ulators
; are
founded.
THE MOST PERFECT PILLS IN C8E,
And the only Pills that possess any new medical
properties, or Regulating Power, tliat have been dis-
covered during the preserit century.
The action of Railway's Regulators on the human
system establishes a new principle in medicine, viz.
that the Mood einnot be purified by the direct or
specific action of any drag upon it. as an egg or piece
of isinglass purifies our" coffei. We are aware that
many learned doctors, writes on materia medica, and
proprietors oi popular medicine1, gravely assert this
doctrine, and recommend their remedies to po<sess
this mysterious property of clearing the blood. We
deny- that such is the fact, and we assert that no medi
cine can purify the blood except through the medium
of the glands, viz, the liver, pancreas, clcin. kidneys,
bowels, ic.. which are the sewcr that nature has
established for this purpose. Radway's Regulators
exert a controlling influence over these glands, com-
pensating for any unwarrantable action or sluggish-
ness on tbeir part, by which the proper amount of ex-
creUons is expelled from the blood, leaving this fluid
in its natural state.
Radway's Regulators
Possess another important principle which no other
medicine, in the form of rills, ever yet possessed,
namely:—that f leaving the bowels and all other
organs in the sy item regular and healthy—after they
operate.
Radway's Regulators
are the most mild, effectual, perfect purgative,
cathartic, aperient, ami-bilious Regulating Fill* ever
discovered or given to the people. They are a great
familyjthjsic lorgene.al use.

And purify the blo®d by Cleansing the. Sewers of the
System and reguiaiinj every organ to a natural and
healthy action Those who desire health, snould
*e%rch for the proper remedies to aid nature in ridding
their bodies of disease and infirmities.
Great Mistaie of Fill Doctors.
The most popnlsr Pills are deficient in jheir com-
position and rnedicla! properties. Manufacturers of
the best vegetable purgative, or unti-bilions Pills of
the present century, have overlooked the most impor-
tant properties lhat Pili* should possess, viz. the Re-
gulating powers of their Pills. No one can enjoy per
feet health unless each and every organ possess a
healthy aud natural action.
Their Quick Action
Radway's Regulators are prepared on the same
theory as Radway's Ready Relief to act quick and
10 relieve the patient from the distressing ailments thai
afflict the system immediately. As soou as the Regu-
lators are swallowed tbey begin their work of regula-
ting the system, and exercise over the diseased pans
a healty influence. If troubled with Coughs. Colds,
Influenza, Sore Throat, tCoids iu the Head. Hoarse-
ness, take from two to four of R. R. Regulators, on
going to bed. ttnd in the morning all difficulty will 'be
removed. If tronbled with ostiveness, indigestion,
disease of the liver or kidneys, n few doses of Radway's
Regulators wili remove the difficulty, and restore the
system to order, regularity and health. Radway's
Regulators n re pleasant in their operation, are elegant
ly coated with gum, never sicken or gripe the patient;
they are free from mercury or calomel, and will sure-
ly restore the weak and sickly to health and strength
The Bowels.
Radway's Regulators ilo not act exclusively on the
bowels by the force of their irritatiug properties, bnt by
their regulating effects upon Ihe liver, pancreas, kid-
neys, and all other organs in the system, induce a
thorough discharge of both bile and pancreatic juice
into the bowels, thus using nature's purgative, viz,
the bile and pancreatic juice, to operate on the bowels
Radway's Regulators are the only pills in use that
move the bowels in a natural manner; all other pur
gatire pills now in use move the bowels by their
irritatiug properties on the coats of the intestines, in
the same manner that the bowels are moved by the
iintation of food eatei. that disagrees with the stomach:
and all these scouring operations are attended with
great pain, and invariably leave the bowels costive,
and the rystem prostrated with feebleness and irregU'
larity
The following ailments Radway's Regulators will
qnickly cure, and free the system from all irritatiuc
humors, and leave every organ in tne body iuanatura
and healthy condition:
Costiveneas, Constipation of the Bowels'
Biliousness, Inflammation of the Bowels.

Radway's Regulators will quickly cure.
Important Fever Treatment.-—Pneumonia
This distressing and oft-times fatal malady will
readily yield to the influence of Railway's Regulators
and R. R. Relief. We have cured hundreds ofpersons
in Georgia and Alabama, where Pneumonia raged in
localities asepidem e, by theR. R. Regulators, and R
R R. Relief. in all feveks
Kadwav's Regulators will prove effectual, and will
protect the system against fatal consequences. If Rad-
way's Regulator's are taken in good doses, from four
to six every six hours or. the first symptoms of tever,
the naliem will sooii recover. No person has ever yet
died under the a. a. a. treatment

Remarkable effect of the R. R. Resolteni on

W. B. F. Olivex. r. m. of Drayton. Dooley Co , wrote
under date of May 8th, 1953. -Thais very valuable
girl had been so afflicted and tormented with scrofulous
nlcers that there was not s nnd flesh enough about her
body to lay a quarter of a dollar. She bad oeen carried
home to die. No one in Drayton who had seen her
would give a dime for her life. Mr Oliver, however,
persuaded her master to give bacwdat's besutatino
hesolvest. Mr. Oliver uttempted the experiment.
Gave the Resolvent «ever l limes per day. In a few
hours she became stronger. In a few days she fell
better. In twenty days she was sntirely cured, and
wasagainaboat her usual duties, us happy and as
hearty as ever. No! a sear was left to disfigure her
skin ;* her skin was smooth and flesh sound."
