Naw You, Jane 27,1857.
v Know —Yesterday, I arrived in this
Motrapetitra city—the " great nicer" in the
body politic—with its dirty streets, stale at-
tMiphm, patted servers and quarelling po-
lice—a pnlitifl question whether the city
hllntp to its own municipality, or to the
State, has furnished occasion for two other
palitu**] parties in the State, and left the
gnat interests of the people to suffer. With
no police rogues are rampant, and the inno-
cent are victims.
Where all the dirt comes from in a large
city is a question that may be answered
when it can he told where all the pins go la
A few weeks delay to sweep and remove
the offid in the streets of New Ycrk, suffices
to its -pavements to turnpikes, and
its thoroughfare" to quagmires. Let there
beafewdav* of dry weather, as now, and
under the tramp of ten thousand horses, the
of&couring of aay tenement, thrown into the
street, iaiatlmed to ashes, and raised by the
carriage trtrtlln to a convenient height for
human respiration, is inhaled into the lungs,
and does its work of death. Hence, to a
great extent, the sickliness ol large cities.
Oleanlineaa and diet are the great preserva-
tives of health, the great sanative remedies
for incipient disease.
Here, wbare extremes of poverty and su-
perfloua wealth comprise the masses.it would
be a public bleasinf if the famine in one ex-
treme could ha nfiixed by curtailing the
plethora in the other. But this cannot be
made the subject of direct legislation. For
want dfxleanliness, however, there is no ex-
cuse. The Oroton river is made, by a large
expenditure, to flow direct into the city and
through all its streets—one ef the purest wa-
ters in the world, and enough for all and for
everything; even sufficient to wash away sin,
if fripfo"" could do it. Rockland ice is
hawked about the streets in massive blocks,
and at a price which places' it m the reach
W all that can reach anything.
Ah, Rockland ice! the best that is
imuIa m the laboratory of the " Jeweled
Horth" it looks like "a diamond of the
first water"—it makes one feel cool-*-it is
antiseptic, tonic, invigorating. 1 long to
\ook upon it, and handle it at the Eutaw in
Walker county. That model landlord, who
keeps a plentiful'supply of water from "the
sweet heavens," would almost learn to be
eloquent when he meets, in a hot summer's
day, the btigued and heated traveler at his
door, and extend to him a flowing glass from
the cistern, with an ingot of the best quality
of the beet-Rockland ice melting in the brim.
We shall see it all when the iron horse has a
f]f«r trade from tide water to Huntsville.
" What is wanted," said Madame de Stael
to Napoleon, to make France the greatest
nation on earth V—" mothers," replied the
-£mpeior. 'd[^Bfcimilar question were requi-
red from 4K1 would be disposed to re-
ply—" mothers she has,—give us pure wa-
ter and Rockland ice." Give me Rockland
iee and water, and I will stand your Maine
Liquor Law. John Barleycorn might then
give all the goods to the poor for all I
would care. Just add so orach, and I would
compromise upon the Eutaw—those who
would not, might stay behind in the " old
State*," or go farther and fare worse.
Yours, to return,
SAN JACINTO.
little else to please me, save here an there a
fine looking lady, sailting through the
streets. As I was a stranger in those parts,
my only chance to get a peep at them was in
the public walks. I saw the celebration of
our Independence day. The day was very
appropriately and finely commemorated.—
All the principle stores were closed and each
window had a flag hung from it. Indeed I
counted largely upwards of a hundred flags
hanging from as many houses in many parts
of the city. I never saw so many stars and
stripes in all my days,— for if I saw one
mnsthave seen fifty thousand in Cincinnati.
The procession was a splendid affair. It
must have been three miles in length. Mil-
itary companies, Fire companies, <fcc., firing
cannon, pistols and crackers was the order
of the day. I trust the day was appropri-
ately celebrated in your city.
Yours, DAMON.

THE COQUETTE;
OE,
UNREQUITED LOVE.
I
I'll not describe her person ; 'tis enough
That pearly yein ne'er shaded hand more
fair;
That the bright tint deep mantled in her
lip,
And with each thought varied the beauty
Of her dimpled cheek. This will speak
volumes :
It will tell of Heaven's most precious gifts—
Of sensibility, refinement, taste;
Of deep affection, sympathy, and love.
She had not heard of evil; her young days
Were peaceful as the lake in summer's noon,"
Reflecting nought but the mild tints of hea-
ven :
In her own purity she saw mankind.
Reflected as created by his God.
IxDOTltDEKCE, July 9$th 1857.
i,—I aee that the K. N. organs
are claiming the Bret for Houston by several
tholaand majority. Now this is a fouislan-
der-—a most unjust imputation, upon the
gallant Democr&cj of that District
Being a resident of that section of the
Slate, and having recently traveled through
eight or tea counties east of the Trinity, and
convened with gentlemen of intelligence and
reliability from almost every county in the
District. I iadignsntly repel the slander,
and uailhliialTj assure our friends of the
West that will reach the Trinity
5M0 votes ahead of his competitor.
The East go for Houston ? No, never!
Never!! Let truckling demagogues waver
as they may—let time-serving politicians
exaggerate as they will—but, on the third
4mj of August next, the democracy of the
East will mil off such a majority for Run-
as wfll fill the works of Houstonism
with consternation, aid forever after deter
that wify foe of Southern institutions from
insulting the intelligence of the people of
Tens, by attempting to elevate to the high
ret effes within ' their gift, one who has
F to be not ant only a traitor
i aad a traitor to his State—but,
daring the present canvas—the basest slan
dsns that Isialhin tin vilest demogogue
that walks upon Southern soil.
Old Washington stands firm, and will
give a majority of350, and send up
to As Legiatataiea united democratic dele-
'aatkm. SHELBY.
With riper years came golden dreams of
youth—
The earth seemed waked to tones of har-
mony ;
Music was heard in every summer shower,
And poetry vfas written eveiy where ;
The hidden links of nature were revealed,
And she drank deep of its philosophy,
i Vith soul still thirsting for a deeper
j spring,
She was led forth to kneel at pleasure's
shrine.
There all was bright; 'twas like enchanted
ground :
The perfumed air, the rich and mellow
light;
Soul-thrilling music and the merry dance,
All lulled her senses into ecstacv.
But long thin could not last: she soon
awoke
To the cold heartlessness of all around ;
Her rich affections were sealed up and laid
Awaiting but the touch of sympathy.
'Tis not Bianca's history 1 would tell,
Although like he? awhile, " fainting and
sick,
Her heavy heart turned back upon itself."
For there was one who with a fervent love
Read her deep feelings, and whene'er they
met
Aroused her slumbenng love of poetry.
He taught her with an artist's eye to see
The loveliness of nature, and broke np
The fountains of deep thought, and in his
turn
Heard her self-taught philosophise, until
He won her confidence and then her love.
With palpitating heart her eye now sought
Where'er she went the form of one alone.
And if perchance she met his gazing eye,
Or listened to his rudy deep-toned voice,
The look, the tone, was treasnred in her
heart,
And dwelt upon in solitary hours.
Like to the shadows of the forest boughs.
Upon the surface of the lake beneath,
His image was reflected day and night,
Upon the mirror of her quiet thoughts.
The early violet of bright-eyed May,
The sleeping azure cloud of $uinnier noon,
The burst of glory from the setting sun,
And the mild radiance of the harvest morn,
Were fraught alike with visions of her love.
When the full organ rose with heavenly
strains,
And bore tbe spirit to the spheres above,
The shadow ol his image swelled the tide
Of her deep feelings, and fast coming "tears
Weighed down hei silken lash and trembled
there.
Oh ! there are moments when in love's young
dream
The earth seems Paradise, and thought and
eye
Detect in all that's beautiful or fair
Resemblance to the idol of the heart.
I will not dwell upon these hours of bliss :
They passed, and she who some few months
before
Had been all tenderness, being cast
In Nature's mould of sympathy and love,
Now wore the mask of that which she once
was.
She had heard that him whose very being
seemed
Entwined with every thought most dear to
her,
Had led to the altar a proud queenly
bride:
She did not faint—she did not wildly
shriek—
And none knew, save her God, the agony
That for an instant almost broke her heart.
It fluttered not like an imprisoned bird.
One agonizing throb, and all was calm.
She thought of her—not with jealousy,
But with a mingled sense of awe and love,
And like a child within its mother's arms,
She could have wept away her grief and
pain.

The Item gives notice of a glorious barba-
cue to be given at Huntsville on the 31st
inst.
The Rusk Enquirer gives an account of
Broomville, a portion of the town of Rusk,
which contains the gin and mill factory of
Cicero Broome. This factory turns out a
large number of mills in the course of the
year. The ville also has a cabinet shop, a
turning shop, grist mill, <fcc., <fcc., and on
the whole must be a very enterprising por-
tion of that flourishing town.
The State Gazette says that Mr Stone, a
Travis County farmer, has succeeded in mak-

It is found he will not be able to take fur-
ther part in the canvass.
The Clarksville Standard says that Run-

of negroes by an administrator there at good
prices. A negro man, 35 years old, brought
$1254 ; another, 24 years, brought $1260 ;
and another, 22 years, brought $1410. The
Democrat does not consider these prices high
for grown negroes. We do.
Frank Lubbock spoke at Gilmer on the
10th. His speech was received with re-
peated bursts of applause. The Democrat
speaks highly of it.
The Henderson Democrat contains a letter
from Nacogdoches giving a glorious account
of the speeches of Frank Lubbock, Bill
Scurry, and Gen. Henderson there. Cave of ■

he spoke for two hoars and a half, there
were people enough left when he was done
to see him skinned alive. We wish we had
room to publish the letter in the Telegraph

in favor of whoever is elected, without dis-

"THE HYGIENIC PANACEA"
Is doubtless one of the most valuable discoveries to

disease, a preparation wholesome, harmless and
equally efficacious will be received as a blessing to
many a poor suffer dr. The deleterious effects offthe
subtile drugs which too many use to the destruction
of health and happiness, may be eradicated by the

READ THIS—OLD AND YOUNG
PROFESSOR WOOD'S
HAIR RESTORATIVE,
Is, no doubt, the most wonderful discovery of this
age of progress, for it will restore, permanently,
gray hair to its original color, cover the head of
the bald with a most luxuriant growth, remove at
once all dandruff and itching, cure all scrofula, and
other cutaneous eruptions, such as scald head, etc.
It will cure, as if by magic, nervous or periodical
headache; make the hair soft, glossy, and wavy,
and preserve the color perfectly, and the hair from
falling, to extreme old age.
The following is from a distinguished member of
the medical profession:
St. Paul, Jan 1,1855.
PROF. 0. J. WOOD—
Diax Sis—Unsolicited, I send yon this certifi-
cate. After being nearly bald fer a long time, and
having tried all -he hair restoratives extant, and
having no faith in any, I waa induced, on hearing
of yours to give it a trial. I placed myself in the
hands of a barber, nad had my head rubbed with a
good stiff brnsh, and the Restorative then applied
and well rubbed in. till the scalp was aglow. This
I repeated every morning, and in three weeks the
young hair appeared and grew rapidly from Angust
last till the present time, and is now thick, black
and strong—soft and pleasant to the touch; where-
as, before, it was harsh and wiry, what little there
was of it, and that little was disappearing very rap-
idly. I still use your restorative about twice a week
and shall soon have a good and perfect crop of hair.
Now, I had read of these things—and who has not?
but have not seen hitherto any case where any per-
son's hair was really benefitted by any of the hair
tonic, etc., of the day; and it really gives me pleas
ore to record the result of my experience. I have
recommended your preparation to others, and it al-
ready has a large and general sale throughout the
Territory- The poeple here know its effects, and
have confidence in it. The supply you sent us, as
wholesale agents for the Territory is nearly all ex-
hausted, and daily inquiries are made for it. You
deserve credit for your discovery; and I, for one,
return yon my thanks for the benefit it has done me,
for I certainly had despaired long ago of ever ef-
fecting any such result.
Yours. hastildHK J- W BOND,

a trial of your Restorative. I have used less than
two bottles, but the gray hairs have all disappeared;
and although my hair has not fully attained its orig-
inal color, yet the process, of change is gradually
going on, and I am in great hopes that in a short
time my hair will be as dar^ as formerly. I have
also Men much gratified at the healthy moisture and
vigor of tbe hair, which before was harsh and dry;
and it has ceased to come out as formerly.
Respectfully yours, D. C. M. RUPP-
Professor Wood.
CasLTLs, Illinois, Jane 19,1855.
I have used Professor Wood's Hair Restorative,
and have admired its wonderltal effect. My hair
was becoming, as I thought, prematurely gray, but
by the use of his "Restorative," it has resumed its
original color, and I have no doubt, permanetly so.

Their power over the above diseases is not ex-
celled, if equalled, by any other preparation in the
United States, as the cures.attest, in many cases af-
ter akilful pbyaieUns had failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention of Inva-
lids. Possessing great virtues in the rectification
of the liver and lesser glands, exercising the most
searching power in weakness and affections of the
digestive organs, thev are withal safe, certain and
pleasant.
TESTIMONY EROM TEXAS.
B. I'. Backer. Washington, Texaa. Sept..
34th. 1853, says: "I have sold the last bottle of Ger-
man Bitters to-day. It is quite a popular medicine,
and those who have used It speak in the highest
terms of its salutary Influence."
8. W. Plsherj Matagorda, Texas, July 15th,
1853, says"The German Bitters have become ve
ry popular here and are moving off rapidly."
T. H. Mcitfahon A Co. Richmond, Tex-
as, Sept., 93. 1853, says : "We are pleased to inform
you that yoar German Bitters give universal satis-
faction. It is in great demand. Send as early as
practicable,"
Geo. Young, Wheelock, Texas, April I'th,
1854,says: "The German Bitters have arrived in
good time for the summer sickness, and I think
there will be a good demand for tbem. as I find ev-
ery person who has used them pronounced it tbe best
medicine of the kind thry have ever known."
These Bitters are entirely vegetable, thereby
possessing great advantage over most of the prepar-
ations recommended for similar diseases.

T. A. HURLEY'S SAB8APABILLA-
OF all the remedies that have been discovered
daring the present e ge for the "thoasantfhls
that fiesh is heir to," none equal this wonderful
preparation. Only three years hare elapsed since
the discoverer (who spent a decade in studying, ex-
perimentalising and perfecting it) first introduced
it to the public, and It Is already recognised, by the
most eminent physicians in all part* of the coonfry,
to be the most surprising and effective remedy for
certain diseases of which they have knowledge, of
All other compounds or syrups of the root have
hitherto failed to command the sanction
the faculty, because, on being tested, hey
have been found to contain noxious ingreJitents
which neutralise the good effects of the Sar.apa
rilla, and often times injure the health of the pa-
tient. It is not so wLh Hurley's preparation.
This is the pure and genuine extract of the root,
and will on trial, be found to effect a certain and
perfect care of the following complaints and dis-
eases:
Affections of the Bones, Habitual Costiveness,
Debility. Indigestion,
Diseases of the Kidneys, Liver Complaint,
Dispepsia, Piles,
Erysipelas, Pulmonary Diseases.
Female Irregularities, Scrofula or King's Evil,
Fistula, 8yphilis,
And all Skin Diseases.
Besides caring the above, it is also known to be a
great and powerful tonic, purifying tbe blood and
invigorating the system.
In short, itis. without exception, in the casr-
mentioneJ and its general effect on the system, tLt
most efficacious as it is the most desirable remedy
of tbe age. Itis already extensively used through-
oat the country, and is fast obtaining an European
reputation. The instances of cures it has effected
are daily coming to the proprietors, knowledge, ant
he has no hesitation in recommending It to one an
all who desire to procure relief from suffering
One bottle being tried, its effects will be too apps

rr\HE3E Mills have been before the Southern pubs
JL lie for several years, and are so universally
popular; that no other make of Mills presume to
compete with them for good and fast grinding.
In addition to the patent under whieh these Mills
have been constructed, bearing date October 1,1850,
the proprietor has added to their excellence by a
late improvement in the dress of the stone, for which
Letters Patent were Issued to him, bearing data Oc-
tober 7,1856, which improvement will be placed an
esch Mill hereafter manufactured, with the follow-
ing tariff (for Patent,) on each Mill, vis: Oa the
smallest sixe. 14 inches in diameter, nvi DOL-
LARS, and on each additional inch above 14 i nchas

proved PATENT TANGENTIAL REVERSED

ven time than has ever been attained by any 9ther
ill ofany sixe or diameter. This improved dress
is also applicable to any other make of Mi ls where
•Stone or French Burrs are used for a grinding sur-
face, and will greatly increase their ratio city for
good and fast grinding.

tion of ONE DOLLAR per inch on aay gtvea diam-
