Mr. ANDERSON advocatedreeonsideration. showing the disadvantages of the bill passed yesterday, and approving tho features of Air. McWhorter’s substitute. Air. O'NEAL of Lowndea, as is his custom, handled tho subject well, remarking that there are two sides to this question. Tho substitute by Air. McWhoraer does not settle the ques tion, and leaves the status of the lands in a doubtful situation. Besides, the feature which is harped on so much—to-wit: advertising the land for sale in the county where it lies—does not benefit the colored people, who, in most rvyfoff, cannot read. Mr. PRICE rose to speak, when Hr. Harrison, of Hancock, made tho point of order that -nuiT.. a recent rule only two speeches can be mads on a motion to reconsider.

Oh inst.] . - The Western and Atlantic Railroad Just at present the merchants, and especially teo commission merchants, of Chattanooga, are most desirous of kaving some assurance that there is to be no embarrassment created here this winter by another blockade of freights on the Western and 4-d au ^ c Railroad, such as caused us so muchanaoyapce last winter. The business of tee road will be greater by at least half this year than it has been in any,former one. The cotton cr«p is very large, and the planters will have plenty of money to buy goods from the North, to be shipped over this road. Tho com crop of East Tennessee is tho largest ever known, and it is probable that nearly two millions 'of bnshels of com will come to Chattanooga daring the next fomr months, for shipment to the South over this road, to say nothing of wheat and bacon. The officers of the road admit that they can not k with the road m its present condition, avoid another and probably more disastrous blockade. Col. E. W. Cole, President of the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, has writ ten a letter calling attention to this fact, which is published in the Georgia papers. Foster Blodgett, Superintendent of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, in a lottci? in reply, which n» r-'-'^Ued. says that he is doing all he can to put the road in good condition, but has no hopes of being able io an so without an ap propriation by the State.

Harris, Master of Transportation, show ing the necessity for an immediate expendi ture of $522,000, to put the road in proper condition. So far as we have seen, none uf il. nc • pa pers of Georgia have contradicted tueso statements, and all admit that the road is now in miserable condition. Some of th papers accuse the managers with .squandering the proceeds of tee road for jvhn.'.u purposes. , doro improbable things than this have hap pened, and as thp road nas always been a sort of political machine, there may be some truth in the charges. But, of this we know nothing and care less. The railroad belongs to the State of Georgia, and if the people choose to permit it to be managed as a politi cal machine and its revenues expended for party purposes, that is their affair and not ours. We have no concern with the local political issues of any other State farther than as our own local inter ests may be mixed with them. In this matter, as we have said before, wo are deeply and al most vilolly interested in having the Western and Atlantic Railroad, the main trank line of the whole South, placed in a condition to re spond to the demands which the commerce of Tennessee, and of the whole country, will sorely make during tho approaching winter.

Ex cept in the way of burlesque the map was useless. The lecturer commenced by telling his audience that his subject was Africa, and alluding to some of tee natural productions of that country. When he told them that it pro duced ‘the red rose, the white rose and the neg-rose,' they yelled with laughter. Never once did he allow his countenance to relax from its continuous-grave expression. In stead of joining in the laughter he had elicited, ho seemed to wonder whence it had arisen, and to be slightly annoyed that lfo could not speak without being laughed at Some of his audience entered into the spirit of the affair, and where boisterously merry.

She was tho daughter of Horatio King, who was first assistant postmaster general under Buchanan, and her husband is a chief engineer in the United States navy. The general charge brought forward by her is of cruel treatment, desertion and failure to provide. Lawton on the other hand claims that she had deserted him, and daring a three years’ stay in Europe had given her affections to a Count Sehelen- berg. Lawton was worth $25,000 at the time of marriage, with a salary of $3,400. After the marriage at Washington in 1862 he went to Boston, where he was stationed, and sought a cheap boarding house in that city, where they remained several months. In" the summer of 1862 she removed to iter father’s lionse in Washington city, while he remained in Boston. He never vis ited her but once at her father’s. She was about to give birth to a child. He was no tified of her condition, but remained away from he? aud never went until a dispatch from his own sister summemed him to tne bedside of his wife.

In order to prove that almost any dream can, with tolerable certainty, be excited by special classes of stimulants, M. Maury caused a se ries of experiments to be performed ou himself when asleep, which afforded vory satisfactory results. 4 ~ First experiment.—Hb caused himself to be tickled with a feather on the lips and inside of the nostrils. He dreamod that ho was sub jected to a horrible punishment. A mask of pitch was applied to his face, ahd then tom roughly off, takingvritli it the skin of his lips, nose and Dace- Second experiment—A pair of tweezers was held a little distance from his ear, and struck with a pair of scissors. Ho; dreamed Sk£ 2. iud be it farther enacted, That it; Vos teld to W* that bo vros ,in a perfumer's shop. This'ex cited vision, of the East, and- he '(beamed that he vas in Cairo, in the shop of Jean Marie i’srjna. J^any sarpiising adventures occmxed io him therp, t^-o dohiils of which were forgotten. Fourth experiment.-A burping lutifer ipntch was held close, to lijs nostrils. Ijie dreauiqd that he TU at rts (the. wind was blowing in through the windows, and that th,c magazine in the vessel blew up, Fifth experiment.-r-He wns sjightly piimhcd on the nape of the neqk. He dreamed that a blister was applied, find this recalled tho recollection of a physician that had treated him in his infanoy. Sixth experiment.—A piece of red-hot bon was held close enough to him to communi- cate a slight sensation of heat. He dreamed teat robbers had got into the house and were forcing tho inmates, by putting their feet to tee fire, to reveal where their money was. The idea of the robber suggested that glmSm d’Abrantes, who, he supposed, had taken him for her Secretary, and in whose memoirs he bad read some account of bandits. Seventh experiment.—The word parafagard- miis was pronounced in his ear. He under* stood nothing, and awoke with the recollection of a very vague dream. The word woman ms next used many timep.. He dreamed of differ ent subjects, but heard a sound like , the hum ming of bees. Several days after the experi ment waa repeated with the words Azor,• Castor, Leaore. On awakening he recollected that he had heard the last two words, apd had attrib uted teem to ono of the persons who had conr duct at a sanitary lair in : Philaddpbm, where he rudely insulted her in tee presence of a number of strangers. They were passing through one of tee halls, when she maue com plaint teat lie was walking too fast for her to follow him. He turned upon her in a rude manner and told her she was a fool. Sooii after this he was ordered to tee Chinese seas with tee Asiatic squadron. He had always shown a disposition to live as cheaply as he could, and invariably selected the cheapest hotels and cheapest boarding-houses that could be found. He had made arrangements to have a farewell interview with her before going on shipboard, but instead of keeping his ap pointment with his wife, he sent her a farewell letter, excusing himself for not meeting her according to promise, and inclosing a few postage stamps and five cents in postal cur rency, saying that was all he hack Before starting he had arranged that his wife should 3 tend tho period of.his absence in Europe. is farewell letter was a cold, inhuman and insulting document. . When'he returned to the United States he spent a month in New York before taking passage for Europe to join his wife and child, and on the 4th of October arrived at Paris. He then informed his wife that she could not accompany him on a tdnr of teo continent as she and the child would be troublesome. Ho did hot wish her for his guide, although sho ; had spent years in stndv to accomplish herself to accompany him. They remained in Paris two days, and went thence to Gfeneva. There, in the presence of strangers, he whs heard to curse and damn his wife, because ertie stood at tho. do or* .too. Ion" with some‘of her friends. She was oyenvhelmcd and terrified at his vio lence, and attempted to ring the. Bell to Call assistance. He then left her and started bn his European tour atone.

Irving did meet him at Baltimore. In a let ter (Washington, 5th February, 1808,) Mr. Dickens thus mentions the fact to Mr. Izm. man:—“ Your reference to my dear friend, Washington Irving, renews the vidid impres- lipl,riling, which suggested the remembrance sipns reawakened in my mind at Baltimore but of a storm he had encountered in the English Channel in going from Merlajx to Havre.

The Chinese come to us in great numbers for medicine and . advice.— Though without medical knowledge ourselves, tho few simple remedies we can command are so much in ad vance even of their physicians, that we havo almost daily applications. We allow them to come, because it brings us in contact with them, aud opens a door of usefulness.
