river;
ness that, only now and then momentarily
broken by the flashes of lightning, was so
intense that people could not discern objects
close at hand, and which completed their
confusion and despair. Iiarge stones were
hurled through the air, crushing whatever
they fell upon. Houses and crops which had
not been destroyed by fire, sank and disap-
peaied beneath the ashes and stones, and the
hill streams, stopped by these barriers, formed
lakes, which breaking over their banks, soon
proved a new source ot destruction.
This lasted some hours. About midnight
the raging elements sank to rest; but on the
following day, about noon, they again began
their work of destruction with renewed
violence. In the meantime the fall of ashes
continued without intermission, and was so
thick on this day *hat the rays of the sun
could not penetrate it, and an appalling dark-
ness prevailed.
Scarcely recovered in some degree from
their fright, the inhabitants of this desolated
part of Saqgir were again disturbed by an
eruption on the 17th March, which destroyed
many fields and a great number of trees on
the Tabukan side.
Since then the volcano has remained quiet,
and the only symptom of its workiug has
been the smoke rising up in all directions
from cracks and fissures in the ground. The
streams of lava on the slopes are still so
slightly ccoled that people dare not venture
to any great distance from the shore. Ac-
cording to the accounts of the natives, the
top of the mountain does not appear to have
undergone any noticuablc alteration.
On the other side of Kandhar, on the ex-
treme north point of the island, the appear-
ance of the devastation which has been
caused is, if possible, even more frightful
than what has tafcrn place at Tartuna. For
here, wh re formerly there were to be seen
ex!"nsiv~ fields beaiing all kinds of crop,
and thickly planted, &nd endless groves of
cocoanuts, we now find nothing but lava, stone
and ashes. The liquid fire seeuis at this point
to have flowed from the mountain with
irrresistiblc force and in prodigious-.quantity.
Not only has this fearful flood, as it were,
buried the whole district and all that was
upon it, but, after having caused this des-
truction over an extent of several miles, it
was still powerful enough on reaching the
shore, to form two long tanjongs (capes) at
places where the depth of water formerly con-
sisted of many fathoms.
A number of other districts and places
have been, some wholly destroyed, others
greatly injured by the fire.
The loss of-life has been great. It is,-es-

The greater number met their death in
the gardens. Theyfled in all directions, but
were overtaken and'swallowed up by the fatal
fire-stream. Some tried to save themselves
in the trees, but were either carried away
wi h them or killed by the scorching heat.
At Kalougan and Tariang the houses were
filled with people who were stopped in their
flight by lava streaming down on all;- sides
and the streams of boiling water, and- who
met their death under the burning ashes and
the tumbling houses. Many who Ifiid reach-
ed the shore and thought themselves safe be-
came a prey to the furious waves, and many
died through sheer despair and agony*
_ Coffee! XjT,
A Brazil correspondent of the New^York
Journal of Commerce gives an interesting
sketch of the history of this universal beve-
rage, so popular among all nations, Whether
civilized or semi-civilized, which have- be:

astical bodies, or colleges of physicians of:
every school. Mohammedan muftis thunder-
ed anathem3l~&gainst it more than three cen-
turies ago; the wittiest writers of the Court
of Louis XIV squibbed it. The illustrious
Dr. Murry, (aliopathist) reproached coffee,
when indulged in too freely with producing
vertigo, ttembliiig of the limbs, cutaneousieT-
uptions on the face, hysterics, hypochondria,
&c., &c. Hahnemann, the great higlrpriest
of homeopathy, accuses-it even of causing the
decline of the German (his own) race.
Coffee is a native of Abyssinia, and not of
Arabia, as many believe, and abounds in the
province of Kaffa, whenee it derives its name.
The coffee, tree was not transplanted from
Abyssinia into Asia until the fifteenth-cen
tury, when its culture was begun in Arabia
Felix, where, in the environs of Mocha, it
grows to perfection. The Western world
learned the use of coffee fioni the Orientals;
but how the Orientals learned to use it is a
difficult question to solve.
An Arabian author of the fifteenth centurj
records that it was a Mufti of Aden, who in
the ninth century, was the first to use coffee.
At this epoch it wasalready known in Persia,
where common tradition ascribes its discove-
ry to one Mollah Chadelly, a pious Mussul-
man, who was much troubled by drowsiness
| during his nocturnal meditations. He hivo-
[ ked Mahomet to come to his aid, who caused
j his faithful Mollah to meet with a goatherd,
! who led him to a coffee tree, and informed
nearly one half of which immense amount
came to the United States. Good "old wash-
ed Bio" coffee is said to be equal to the best
Java.

Kansas Affairs
St. Lovjs, August 27.—The advices from
the border are to the 25th. Several hundred
men would enter Kansas on the 22d. Four
hundred of Lane's men were posted at Kau-
sas river to intercept relief forces.
Gen. Richardson, with a large body of Ter-
ritorial militia, had gone to the Northwest to
cut off Lane's retreat.
Five hundred .men were Under arms at
Lexington. Gov. Price, of Missouri, expects
orders from the President to take the field
with the militia. Gen. Smith has declined
interfering with the Missourians while they
confine their operations to Lane's forces.
Ouicauo, August 27—Eighteen Missou-
ri:.us attacked Tucker's Mission (20 miles
from Kansas City) and commanded the per-
sons there to deliver up their horses and leave
the Territory. The demand was refused and
the Missourians were too weak to enforce it.
Companies of Missourians are concentrat-
ing at Leavenworth, Westport and Kausas
City.
Quaker City, (near Westport,) was sacked
by (jeorgiaus on Friday. The inhabitants
escaped.

The following is an extract from the cor-
respondence of the N. O. Picayune, dated
San Francisco, August 5:
At about 3 o'clock P. M., on the same
day, the community was again thrown into
an intense excitement by the announcement^,
that s-till another deed ofblood had been com-
initted-in a puWrc place,«-in open- d y. - Dr.i
Andrew llandall, formerly Collectoraud Post-
master of Monterey, an old and respected
citizen, had been attacked and shot down by
Joseph Hetherington, a three-card luonte
player, in the office of the St. Nicholas Ho-
tel, corner ol Sansouie and Commercial streets.

der, aud of the execution ofBracc and Heth-
erington. 1 wag not a witness of the scene,
having no taste for amusements of that «ort.
Judge Terry is still in the hands cf the.
Committee. Since Hopkins recovered, the
Committee have been at a loss to know what
to do with him, as he would not agree to re-
sign his office. It is a current report that
he had been acquitted by the Executive De-
partment, of the Committee, but the delegates
*ii • of the companies had vot.d adversely on this
as follows in the undermentioned dec|8ian. The Wus operandi of triais for
capital offences appears to be: a committee of
inquiry, consisting of nine, first hears all the
evidence on both sides, which evidence is sub-
mitted to the Executive of tweuty-niue, who
give their verdict on it. Each of the sixty-
six companies, severally consisting of about
one huudred men, choose three delegates, as
a 80it of lower house. A majority of the 198
delegates it is said, voted to refer Judge Ter-
ry's case back to the Executive Committee.
It is not at all improbable that the Judge
wi!l;be shipped'to-day. •
Reports are gaining ground that the com-
mittee will disband, as a military organization
in .a few days. My opinion is different. 1

Austin, August 27th, 1856. j
Gentlemen of the Senate
and House of Representatives:
I transmit- herewith, for the informa-
tion of the Legislature, a letter from J.
B. Shaw, Esq., Comptroller of Public
Accounts, which was received at this of-
fice last evening, from which it will be
seen that the United States Congress has
passed an act extending the time for the
payment of the Texas Debt, (under the
act of Congress of the 28th of February,
1855.) until the 1st day of January, 1857,
after which time, any residue of the fund
of §7,750,000 00 is to be divided among
all the creditors whose claims are filed
yritli the Secretary of the Treasury, up
that date.

Jelled with the Secretary of the Treas-
ury, previous to the 1st day of January,
1857.
Our act accepting the act of Congress
of the 28th day of February, 1855, was
purposely framed so as to prevent such a
result. Our act recapitulates the amount
and description of Debt which we con-
sidered as coming within the provisions
of the act of Congress, of the 28th of
February, 1855, and then consented, that
the §7,750,000 00 appropriated by Con-
gress, should be apportioned pro rata
among the holders of the debt so recapit-
ulated.
It was foreseen by us, that a portion of
the debt might not be presented at the
United States Treasury within the time
limited, and our act of acceptance was
thus framed, in order that the pro rata
of those creditors v hose claims might
not be filed in time, should remain in the
United States Treasury, to be paid to
them whenever they should afterwards
file their claims.
This view of the subject was fully pre-
sented by me to the Secretary of the
Treasury, in a letter of the 5th of Feb-
ruary last, inclosing him a certified copy
of our act of acceptance.,. •
A copy of this letter is herewith trans-
mitted. -£r^
I also transmit a letter from the Sec-
retary of the Treasury, dated March lit,
1856, in reply to my letter of the 5th of
February, in which he expresses his con-j
act oi amnesty will be passed. ( currence with the construction placed by

ministrator, aud S35,000 or 40,000 in drafts
obtained from commission houses in Hunts-

The Insurrection in Colorado Co.'
We extract from the La Grange True ls^
sue the following remarks iu relation to the
negro insurrection in Colorado couuty. We
have learLed no particulars as to the discov-
ery of the insurrection, or when was the ap-
pointed time for the outbreak. Whei—
time limited for the presentation of the
Debt, he proceeded to apportion the fund
of §7,750,000 00 among all thecreditors
described in our act of acceptance, and
parid those whose claims were presented
jn accordance with that apportion-

amount of the fund thus retained
the-Treasury, belongs justly to those
creditors whose claims were not filed in
time, and neither the Secretary of the
Treasury, nor Congress, have any legal
right to make any other application of it.
These claims are equally as meritorious
as those which were filed in time and re-
ceived their pro rata.
I concur fully with the opinion express*
ed by Mr. Shaw in his letter, that this
:ict of Congress, diverting the residue of
this fund from the payment of those
creditors whose claims were not filed in
time, is a violation of our act of accept-
ance, and that the Legislature should
protest against it and declare that we hold

every city is a paradise of humbugs; but let a
really meritorious article, capable of doing all that

it will stand the test of any opposition dependent
upon inflated notoriety; and Hotstetter'a famed

I hope every one, whether adult or child, who
may have reason to believe they are troubled'
with worms, will take Dr. McLane's celebrated
Vermifuge. I firmly believe it is one of the great-
est worm destroyers of the age—certainly one oc
the most extraordinary I know of.
A child of mine, about five jears old, has been
troubled with worms for some six months back;
we could get nothing to relieve it until we came
across Dr. McLane's Vermifuge, of which we gave
but a small quantity. The result, however, was
extraordinary. The child passed over three hun-

know no better way of doing this, than keeping
on hand a bottle or two of Hurley's Sarsaparilla,
the best remedial and preventive agent in the
world. Over 200,000 bottles have been gold

HURLEY'S SARSAPARILLA.
OF ALL the remedies that battf-been discov-
ered during the present age for tbe " thou-
sand ills that flesh is heir to," aone equal this won-
derful preparation. Only three years have elapsed
since tbejdiscoverer (who spent a decade ia stud-
ying, experimentalizing, and perfecting it) first
introduced it to the public, and it is already recog-
TKied'ty ttb mbat eminent pb^WWans in all parts
af thg«cPU8fei. tPibgthe moot surprising and effco-
a diseases, nf which they
knowledge. •- i. -. .
' if compottnps Of syrups of the loot hare
hitherto failed to command toe saactiao of tbe fac-
ulty, because, on being tested, they have been
{btiad to contain noxious ingredients, which neu-
tralize the good effects of he SarsapariBa, and of-
tentimes injure the health of the patjpit. It is
not so with Hurley's preparation.
This is the pure and genu'^textrmctof the root,
and will, on trial, bo found to 'effect a certain aad
perfect core of tire So Bowing complaints aad dis-
eases r .. ..
Affection of the Bootes, Habitual Costimsaii,
Debi.ity, Isdigeotloo,
Diseases of the RMneys, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Piles,
Erysipelas,
Female Irregularities,
Fistula,
King's Evil,
Scroulai
SyphiHo, I .
And an Skiu Diseaaes.
Besides curing the above, it is also koowa to ho
a great and powerful Tonic, purifying the blood,
and invigorating tbe system.
In short, it is without exception, is the eases
mentioned, and its general effect oa the system,
the most efficacious, as it is tbe mostderirOhle rem-
edy of the ase. It is already extensively used
throughout the country, and to fast obUcufcig *
European reputation. The inst anew of ooio* it
has effected, are duly coming to the __
knowledge, and be has no hesitation ia
mending it to one and all who desire to pracaeo
relief from eufiering. One bottle being triad, ita
effect will be too apparent to admiLofa dwsbt.
Recollect, Hurley's Sarsaparilla ia the only §m-
uine article in tbe market.
