You justly tei*l that any attack upon the power and dominion oi England is a blow aimed at your prosperity, at the development.of your trade, at the true interests ot your country. It proofs were needed that you appreciate this fact, your present address affords i*onvim ing evidence et it It i» gratifying to all real friends of this country toobseruo that the princess and people of Upper In dia, far from sympathising with the revolted troops have done their utmost to prove their attachment oar Government. It is satisfactory, also, to reflect that the delusion which has led to these deplorable events is couiiued to aportionof the nativt army—au important por tion, it is true, but still a portion The armies of liombay, Madras, and the Punjab have not allowed themselves to be seduced from their duty.

Prince of Wales, there was aciub celebra ted for its fashion and exclusiveness, numbering among its members the Prince, Brummei, Sheridan, A. indeed, ali were men of the first water in fasL ioa, politics, or literature. A vacancy occurring. Lord Deloraine, the famous duelh-t. applied for admission. Suspecting that his qua re.r line propensities might militate against him, he called upon every member the morning be fore the ballot, and very plainly intimated that he should consider the rejection as ,a personal affront, and demand satisfaction from every one severally, except the Prince of Wales, whose position as heir to the throne protected him. On t'cd night in question Lord Deloraine.went to the clnb, sent up his card, and requested to know i‘. the balloting was over, and whether he had been elected. As he had been blackballed, an answer was sent that he had not been, there being, unfortu nately, a black bail iu the box. He sent the waiter up again to say that, as it must tie a rnrstake, be washed to see the chairman of the dub. Tlie Prince was about rising, to comply with tins outrageous request when Brummei volunteered to sati-fy th. ineensed duellist. Telling the waiter to show Lord Deloraine into a private room, be advanced in die bt^MydM.r r Ueloraine, it's truly unfortunate ; but y TbVouimf-plild!' “ Qaite a mistake. You had be “N<» uae^retort. d the fop, "fir there wo* not a while ball ’ll! the ballot , but pray wait. Allow me When th. waiter appeared, Brummei said : (.'baric-.. bring me a pistol and coffee for two.” Lord Deloraine stared in silence. When the waiter brought the articles, Beau Brurn mel said, “I beg your pardon, Charles, but 1 have forgotten a dice box During the interval Brummei talked about tlie weather, the crops, and the most frivolous things, Icird Deloraine gazing at him with a severe expres nion of countenance. .. . When tlie waiter brought the dice and the box, Brummei Bmiled at him, Baying, “You can go. One of ua will ring if we want you . I don t.know which of uh it will be. but one of ua will ring. The waiter bowed, and retired. 9 Brummei then said: “I know you like coffee, -odol. When we have finished it, we will pro ceed to biwineea.’ “So I am blackballed,” biased the duelist be tween bia teeth. “Moat certainly. Now, xny dear lord, as lam the challenged party, I claim the right of dictating the terms. Here in a pistol —here are dice. We will throw for the chance. In other respects we are quite equal. If you fall, you will have a widow to mourn your death If I perish, IJ shall leave a disconsolate tailor to weep over my fate.” The baffled bravo put down his cup, and left the room. Brummei rejoined hie friends; find when the story got around in the clube, Lord Deloraine waa so much annoyed that he went suddenly out of town.

Southwestern Railroad.—We have received a copy of tlie Annual Report of this Road, which presents its affairs in a very flourishing condition, with an increasing amount of receipts. We would be glad to give further extracts from this report, did time and space allow it. The road is now complet ed, and in operation to Wootona Station, a few miles below Starkville, and w ill be open to Albany in October. The grading of the extension, via Dawson and Cuthbertto Eufala. is making rapid progress. We make tlie following quotations from the Re port : —Journal Messenger. “After paying dividends of February and August, interest due oil Bonds, and all entraordinary Rail Road expenditures, there remains a considerable surplus, which is kept to guard against any casuali ty which may occur. That surplus is shown as follows : Net income for the year, after deduct ing all current expenses $199,897 dl Dividend declared in Feb ruary, last, $45,160 00 Dividend declared this day. 55,964 00 Interest on Bonds, and An nuity to the city of Macon. 29,060 02 Extraordinary Expenses, as by Superintendent’s Re port. 19,509 54—179,693 56 Surplus $20,103 78 Tbe Bond debt of the Company has been increas ed ten thousand dollars by Bonds, issued to Con tractors on the extension. There is no floating or other debt, in any shape, duo by the Company.— The outstanding engagements for materials, do not exceed the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars.” Total earnings for the year have been $365,- 213 92 ; total for previous year, $353,092.46 —show- ing an increase of $12,121.46. This gain is almost entirely from merchandize and passengers, to wit : Merchandize (westward) $15,790.20; passengers, $21,960.90 —whilst Eastward Freight, principally Cotton, lias fallen off $24,376.81. Total bales of cot ton transported during the year, 123,912 against 157.083, the previous year. Number of through passengers for the year 32,225 •, way passengers for the year 55,588, making a total of 87,813 ; being an average per day of 210, against 19! for the previous year. Total number of passengers carried over the Road since its opening, July Ist, 1851,375,131; only two of whom have been injured. One in at tempting to jump on the cars, and the other by jumping off in the track behind the train, which ran back over him. The Coin age.—The Director of the Mint, in an swer to the allegation that some of the United States coinage, and particularly the new cent pieces, was deficient in weight, says : If it should be observed that some of the silver or cent coins vary from the exact standard, this is no more than the law admits, within the limits men tioned. The newspaper article which induces these remarks, states that the cent coins were “ of short weight, equal in some cases to five per cent.,” but even this, which is mentioned as an extreme cas-q falls short of the legal allowance, which is over five and a half per cent. It is undoubtedly the duty of the Mint to Issue the coius with as little variations from the standard as practicable. With regard to the gold coins, this end is known to be accurately attained by tlie actual weighing of each piece sepa lately, and by weighing the pieces in mass. A simi lar result is attained in regard to the silver coins, in the average of pieces, by frequent and daily tests of their weight separately and in mass. Within the last three months, the mint has issued about forty three tons of cents, composed of 8,600,0(H) pieces, manufactured from an alloy never before used in coinage; and in this large amount a varia tion from the exact standard of less than one sixth of the allowance fixed by law has been found.— Further •"■ ’vrience will cause even this small va nation t A Giv . Race. —Porter’s Spirit of the Times says : “Charleston, the superd Charleston, by Sovereign, out of Millwood, is to meet the renowned Nicholas I, by Glencoe, out of Nannie Rhodes, and we shall have what we may fairly call a race. This brilliant prospect lias been brought about by Mr. John L. Caasiday, who has leased tlie Fashion Course, made up a stake, and secured for it the entrance of the two above named horses. Mr. Cassiday does not expect, with the brief time now left him, ami the nearness of the Fall meeting in Virginia and Kentucky, to be able to organize an entire meeting ou the Fashion Course this sea son, but lie does the most within his power, by offering a stake, for four mile heats. $1,001) entrance, half forfeit , with an addition 01‘52,000 if the race is run, and by securing the entrance of the two horses which staud foremost of all others in the country, which the public most anxiously wish to see con tend. We predict a great attendance, on the day when Nicholas and Charleston meet, and trom the fact that the horses were loalcd in different sections, and belong repoctively to a Northern and Southern owner, we shall expect to see the same spirit of in tense rivaly exhibited,as characterized the great contests between Eclipse and Henry, and most part’u ularly that of Fashion and Peytona. Os the two present contestants, Chailestou has the most glorious record of performances, but there are enough here who believe that Nicholas I. is the best horse who ever stretched his limbs over an Ame rican track, to make the betting as spirited as any may desire. The day selected for the race, is the 29th of September next (good day and good track.” A Victim ok the Divorce Law.— The trail of the “Talbot Divorce Case'’ in the English House of Lords created much sensation two or thiee years ago. Mrs. Talbot was the mother ofcliiidren, a of refinement, of unassuming manners, and domestic habits. It was alledged that during the absence of her husband she indulged iu elicit in tercourse with an ignorant groom of the stable. Two or three servants swore to knowledge of her guilt, but the principal witness against her was the family clergyman,Kev. Mr. Sargent He testified, we believe, to have caught her in the act of adulte ry. The woman was insane at the time of the trial and the clergyman expressed the belief that when she committed the act she was in the incipient stages of insanity. Much sympathy was felt for tlu “unfortunate husband.’' and though many be lieved the lady to be a victim of conspiracy, the high character ofthe clergymaucarried through the bill for divorce. Recently he has delivered himself up to the authorities, acknowledging that he per jured himself. In the meantime the victim of the conspiracy has deceased. We are not perfectly assured ot what became of her husband, a “sprig of nobility,' but believe that he married soon alter obtaining the divorce Solo. —The reporter of the Cleveland Herald, in his haste for an item, picked up the following from the engineer of the Toledo train, concerning the horrible death of one T. Kail: T. Kail, Esq., was run over and horribly crushed by the ears of tbis afternoon's express train from Toledo. when coming in on the Columbus track m*ar the Mahoning crossing. Kail, who we under stand came from England, and who was extensive ly connected with the iron trade there, never spoke after the occurrence, and was removed by some laborers who were near the spot. We passed a few minutes afterwards, and so completely had the ..can y tram done its work of ’destruction, that not a semblance of humanity was left. We understand that the tram was not stopped until its arrival at the depot, and that the engine driver and conduc tor w ere perfectly indifferent about the matter.

The men look tolerably healthy, though emaciated, as if they had seen hard service. They are dressed in a varie ty of costumes although the- mouse-colored s.oueh ed hats, striped or colored shirts, and dark overbad* largely predominate. Their features are bronzed to an almost mulatto hue, their beards ionv and shaggy, and their general appearance is that of men who have long been expoeea to the hardships of a campaign. They hail from all parts of the Union, although a majority beloDg to the western States, and are ex ceedingly anxious to return to their homes as soon as they can raise funds to do so, being at present entirely destitute. They all concur in denouncing Walker ae a “black-hearted villain, alleging that he tyranized over his men, neglecting them when stick. and abandoning them when he found he could train nothing from their services. They'were gece_ rally enticed away under a promise of 2bo wies of land each, and $25 a month pav. Many of them went to Nicaragua to settle, without any intention of joining the army, into which they were pressed as soon as they landed. Os course they deserted at the first opportunity afforded. They say that \V alker s soldiers were eften compelled to eat mule meat, ami the flesl. of unclean animals, to keep from starving. They were, generally, well treated by the Costa Ricans, after they deserted, and have been sent home by them in the Tennessee. Much sympathy waa expressed for the returned adventurers, and many dimes and quarters were thrust into their brown hands. At about 12 o’clock a meeting was organized on the steps of the Hall of Records, and a committee appointed to collect funds on the spot. Some JI 2U were raised in this way. after, which the meeting adjourned to meet in the Park at eix o clock the same evening. Afterwards, however, there was another meeting in front ot the City Hall, ana several persona addressed the crowd.

A Thrilling Incident.— Returning from a viait to New Orleans, we were fortunate enough to fte cure paaaage on a line steamer, with but tew paa tfengern. Among tbe ladies, one especially inteiles ted us. Bhe waa the widow of a wealthy p.anter, and was returning with only one child to her fdtli er s house. Her devotion to the child was very touching, and tha eye of her old black nuree would fill with team as she besought her mistress “not to love that boy too much, or the Lord would take him away from her.” We passed through the canal at Louisville, und stopped for a few minutes at the wharf, when the nurse wishing to see the city walked out on the guard at the back of the boat, where by a sudden effort, the child sprang from her arms into the terri ble current that swept towards the falls, and dis appeared immediately. The confusion which ensued attracted the attention of a gentleman who was sitting in the front part of the boat, quietly, reading. Rising hastily, he asked for some article the child lmd worn. The nurse handed him a tiny apron she had torn off in her effort to retain the babe in her arms. Turning to a splendid Newfoundland dog, that was eagerly watching his countenance, he pointed first to the apron, and then to the spot where the child had gone under. In an instant the noble dog leiqied into the rushing water, und also disappeared. By this time the excitement was intense, and some persons en shore, supposing that the dog was lost as wel! as tlie child, procured a boat and started off in search of the body. Just at this moment the dog was seen far away with something in his mouth. Bravely he struggled with the waves but it was evident that his strength was fast failing, and more than one breast gave a sigh of relief as the boat reached him, and it was announced that he had tho child, and it waa still alive. They were brought on shore—tlie dog and the child. Giving a siugle glance to satisfy herself that the child was really living, the young mother rushed forward, and sinking beside the dog, threw her arms around his neck and buret into tears. Not many could view the sight unmoved, and she caressed and kissed his shaggy head, she looked up to his owner and said : “Oh sir, I must have this dog! lam rich; take all I have—every tiling—but give me my child's preserver.” The gentleman smiled, and patting his dog’s head, said: “I am very glad, madam, he has been of service to you, but nothing iu the wot Id could induce me to part with him.” The dog looked as though he perfectly understood what they were talking about, and giving his sides a shake, laid himself down at his master’s feet, with an expression in his large eyes that said plainer than words—“No, nothing shall part us.” A Banter for John Bull. —$100,000. —Since the result of tlie Goodwood race has been known, the many lovers of the Turf sports in our commun nity have been somewhat excited upon the subject of getting up a match race between the United States and England, to be run in this country under such terms of agreement as shall fully test the su periority of tho horses of the two countries. It was not expected by many that Mr. Ten Bro och's horses would be successful in the Goodwood race, and since they have been so unfairly weighted in tlie Handicap races, and there at present seems no probability of inducing any of the owners of En glish horses to make a match with Mr. Ten Broeck, wc are authorised by responsible gentlemen to make the following challenge—which is open to the world —viz :To run a match race of four miles and re peat, at such time as may be agreed upon, poet en tries for one hundred thousand dollars aside, the horses to carry weight for age, to be run ovor the Ten Broeck course at this place. I n order to induce our English friends to accept this banter, we are authorized to say further, that in the event they should do so, and lose tbe race, five per cent, upon the money staked, or in other words, five thousand dollars will be allowed them to pay the expenses of their horses. This is certainly a liberal and fair proposition, and one that the English people should uutjallow to pass unnoticed, if they really believe in the superiority of their horses. Mr. Ten Broeck has set them an example of the confidence of American sportsmen, by going to England without any inducements, and entering and running his horses under many apparent dis advantages. The course at this place is considered by racing men and those competent to judge, one amongst, if not the best Turf in the United States, and its posi tion is so easy of access, that if this offer shall be accpted, a concourse of people may be expected, to gather here which shall far cut-number any assemblage over witnessed on a similar occasion in this country. The geutleraau by whose authority this challenge is published, are all men of respectability and wealth, and the money is ready to be covered by a similar amount from England or elsewhere. We hope that “Porter’s Spirit” and the “Spirit of the Times, and other papers interested iu the mut ter will notice tlie above challenge. —Savannah Georgian. Two More Conflagrations. — Seventy Mules Burned, and Humored ],oss o) Human Lives.—Be tween 1 and 2 o’clock this morning, a fire broke out in the extensive omuibus stables of Messrs. Hart, Thomas At Co., on Magazine street, between Har mony and Pl.asant streets, Fourth District, which resulted in their entire destruction, together with fifty mules, and, as rumor hath it, three or four men who slept in the hay loft. It is said that the confla- f 'ration was caused by the explosion of a cainphene amp, but whether this was the cause or not, it is certain that the tire spread with such amazing ra pidity, that the mules could not be got out, and were consequently destroyed. Heart rending, indeed, were the cries of the tortured animals, until death put a period to their sufferings. The loss by this fire could not have been less than $31,000. While the above mentioned tire was raging, a second alarm whh given, which was found to pro ceed from the stable of James Finnen, on White street, between Thalia and Erato streets. In this case, as in the other, the inflammable nature of the materials soon led to the entire destruction of the stable and its contents, and as most of the engines were at the upper tire, the flames spread almost without resistance, destroying several buildings in the neighborhood, and au extensive lumber yard belonging to Thomas Murray. In the lumber yard $10,(Mill worth of lumber was destroyed, on which ttiere was an insurance of but $2,500. Since the above was written we have, from one of the firm ot Hart, Thomas & Co., au estimate of their loss, as follows: Seventy mules, at $250 each $17,500 Fourteen omnibuses, at $(>00 each 8,100 Stable. .......... 4,000 Feed and fixtures 3.000 $32,900 The total amount of insurance on the property was $14,000—59,000 in the Orleans Insurance office, and $5,000 in the Lafayette branch of the Mer chants’. The loss by the other fire may be put down at $15,000, and that by the fire at the corner of Erato and Bacchus streets at $2,500— making a total of loss by fire for the night of $50,400. — N. O. Pica yune, 14M insl. The Wheat CRor of Georgia and Tennessee is fast coming into market, tin Monday of this s eek, fifty car loads arrived on the Macon aud Western Railroad. The receipts by that road now. are daily, about nine thousand bushels, nearly all of which is forwarded to Savannah and then, to Northern Markets. In July, 39,400 bushels were received. Iu the first 14 days in the month, 103,490. Os this, 2,728 were sent to our City mill. The weath er has, for a few days beeu very favorable for its transportation, and it arrives in good order. The supply of wheat on our railroad lines, is now so great, that they can scarcely furnish means for its transportation—and without their aid what would all this surplus grain be worth to the producers ! Over one hundred car loads arrive daily at Atlan ta. The receipts of one day was 35,000 bushels. — Journal ,y Messenger. A Gross Swindle. —Fort SnelliDg, rendered use less rs a government outpost by the advance ot civilization, has recently been sold by government for the sum of $90,000. The sale includes 1000 acres of surrounding land, the whole beautifully located at the junction of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, near St. Anthony s Falls. It is a magnificent site for a great town, in one of the most valuable and rapidly rising sections of Minnesota, and had the property been opened to public bidding would have brought many times the paltry sum which some administration favorites have been permitted to gulph the prize in at. lialf a million dollars would have been a small figure for the property thus pocketed for less than a hundred thousand. Who are the lucky holders under this swindle, and may we not know by what greasing of fingers the thing was accomplished ! —Boston Traveller. Russian Intrigues in the East.— The London Post expresses the opinion that Russia had a hand in fostering or inciting the discontent in India. It says she has never been without civil, military, or trading agents in that country , and it has ever been the business of these missionaries to excite bitter feelings against England, to implant and foster friendly sentiments towards Russia, and to send intelligence as to any faulty or assailable point in India to the Russian government. In fact, the picture drawn by the Post of the insidious machina tions of Russia to overthrow the British Govern ment in the East, describes with considerable ac curacy the tactics employed by the British govern rnent for the subversion of the American Union through the insti umentality of anti-slavery. Eng land is tasting the cup which she has been trying to force upon others If the lesson she is learning in India teaches her to do unto othere as she would be done by, it will not be without wholesome effects. Fatal Casualty. —James L. Jenkins, of this county, in a fit of delinum tremens, on Tuesday night last, leaped* from the second story of the San dersville Hotel. He fell into the back yard upon a very hard surface, breaking several of his limbs most shockingly. It occurred about 11 o'clock. — At LA. M. he died. There was no one in the room with him except two small negro boys. He was a quiet, unobtrusive man, aged but the fatal pas sion for drink brought on the fearful malady and a terrible death. Will this warning note fall heedless upon the ears of others in the same road f We fear it will. —Sander grille Georgian.

Cotton. —There has been a decided improvement ia the demand for this article, and the transactions have just about doubled the sales of the i revious week The stock is very light, and is con fined to a few hands, and so l'ar as prices are concerned, the contracting parlies make the best arrangements that t ireumstances will permit. Such being the case, we, of course have no quotations to offer, and would refer to the prices pa d for the present state of the market. The receipts since our last nave been limited to 565 bale>. and the sales in the fame time foot up 1290 bales, and may be classed as follows : 173 bales at 131; i • at 134 . S 3 at 13| ; 25 at 14 ; 34 at 14i ; 32 at 14 j ; 62 at 144 ; 2 at 151; 35 at Is| ; 38 at 15 7-16 ; 140 at 151 i 58 at 154 ; 229 at 15 13 16, and 177 bales at 16c. Nothing hat been done in Long Cotton. Ric*— The market on the whole has been in a very quiet stau- throughout the week. The receipts, which comprise 757 tierces, haveonl/ in part been sold, at 4£ to ssl per hundred. Com —There have been nc arrivals this week, and the limited receipts for some time back, leaves the market rather bare at present. Early transactions will no doubt show high prices. In the absence of transactions, we have * rased all quotations. Oits —There was an arrival at the close of the pre vious week of some 4000 bushels Maryland, of the new crop, which were partly sold at 53c. There is a fair supply on the market, and we deubt whether the next arrivals will sustain this price. Wheat —The market was very quiet for several days pre ceding the date of our last publication. Holders were pressing for prices paid at the opening cf the week, which purchasers refused to give, and hence the stagna tion. Sellers, however, subsequently them down from the position they had assumed and lor several days du ring the current week a fair business was done at $1.45 for reds, which had previously been sold at $1.55; but buyers refused to go on at this figure, and BL4O was all they were disposed to give. The transactions in white have been very limited. The highest offer for this de scription has been $1 50 & bushel, which holders would not accept, and the market was at once brought stand still. The receipts since our last reach 88,378 bushels Exported in the same time—to foreign ports 12,384 bushels, and 59,480 bushels coastwise. Flour —There has been a moderately fair demand for this article since the date of our last report, and barrels have been selling at from #7»to 74, principally, however at s7t and in any quantity. We learn that among the sales are 100 barrels, purchased within a few days on a foreign order at $74 p bbl. Sacks have been runoff at $3 50 and 3.624 sack. The receipts since our last reach 3026 barrels. Exported coastwise in the same time 3460 barrels. Hay —The receipts since our last reach about 500 bales Philadelphia and New York. The former was sold at sl. and a portion of the latter at $1,124. Bacon —Sheulders that have reached the market since our last have met ready purchasers at 16 to 17 cents for Sides, and 14c. for Shoulders. Bajrgoig -There has been a good demand for Gunny Cloth this week, and upwards of 450 bales have changed hands at 15*c , which establishes an advance of fc. on previous transactions. Holders, however, at the cl se of the week were holding for 16c , and have refused to .-ell /or less. . Roue —Some attention has also been drawn to tlni ar ticle, aid upwards of 800 coils have changed hands, of Western and Northern make. Domestic Liquor* —We note sales of upwards of 200 bbls. Western Whiskey at 33 and 34c. & gallon. Groceries —Our Grocery market continues to be very much neglected. There has been no movement in Su gar, Coifee or Molasses, and prices for these articles are altogether nominal. Exchanges —Although \vc have made close inquiries during the week, wc cannot learn that the Banks have been doing anything in foreign bills, owing to the fact that there have been none offering, and In the present state of the market we have no quotations to offer. Freights —There is no Cotton offering either to Liver ]>ool or llavro, consequently we have no quotations to offer to these points. The want of shipping facilities has again temporarily advanced the rates to New York. Engagements have been made during the current week at 9 and 10c. bushel for Wheat, and 35c. V bbl. for Flour, in sailing vessels. Steamers have obtained 124 c. fc* bushel for the former, and 50c. for the latter. SPECIAL NOTICES. BOOK AND JOB PRINTING.

D., Augusta, Ga., for Diseases of the Liver and to Purify the Blood. It contains, in addition to Sarsaparilla, the hydro-alco holic extract of Queen’s Delight, (Stillingia) White Ash, Grey Beard or Fringe Tree, (Chionanthus) Tincture of May Apple cr Mandrake, (Podophyllum) and Blood Root, (Sanguinaria.) In small doses it acts as an alterative or laxative,_ in larger doses as a mild purgative— with some as an active purgative. As an alterative or laxative, it has been found useful in Constipation of the Bowels, Jaundice, Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Sick Headache, Dizziness, various Fe male Complaints, Chronic Affections of the Liver, second ary Syphilis and Syphiloid Diseases, Scrofulous Affec tions, Sores, Ulcers, Blotches, Cutaneous Eruptions, or Diseases of the Skin, and all otherdiseascs in which Sar saparilla or alterative medicines are indicated. That it acts upon the Liver, may be known from the fact, that in Jaundice, or cases of Biliousness, it causes free bilious evacuations, readily removes unnatural yel low tinge about the eyes and upon the Bkin, and im proves the health and spirits. In Cutaneous Eruptions, Blotches, Pimples, and other diseases of the skin, !t causes the disappearance of the Blotches, Pimples, Ac., and greatly improves the com plexion. As a diet drink, it keops the bowels free, the liver healthy, and the blood pure. Its healthy action on the livor, and purifying effect up on the blood, make it a great safeguard against disease; for children a safeguard against worms—it causes an in creased secretion and passage of the bile, which acts as an irritant to worni3 and prevents their accumulation. Physicians, who have made extensive use of the diffe rent ingredients of thi3 preparation of Sarsaparilla, re gard them as the beet and most efficient agents in tho Materia Medica. It is put up in pint bottles. Price §1 per bottle. Sold in Augusta by HAVILAND, RISLEY A CO., CLARK, WELLS A SPEARS, WM. HAINES, and D. B.

COMPOSED of the following very light draught steamers, viz: The COLUMBIA, 300 tons capacity, and 12 inches draught of water; The TALOMICCO, 400 tons capacity, and 16 inches draught of water; The new iron steamer AMAZON, 866 tons capacity, and 17 inches draught of water. The AMAZON is built of iron, and no expense has been spared in her construction to make her worthy of the patronage of the public. These Boats will compose the line for the approaching season, and will, from their light draught of water, be enabled to deliver goods promptly at all stages of our river, and shippers by this line may rely on dispatch in the forwarding of their goods. The importance of keeping up a water communication between Savannah and Augusta, is too apparent to the merchants of Augusta, Savannah, and the interior, to re quire any advocacy here. Suffice it to say, that the river communication is now, and has been since the com mencement of railroads, the regulating medium for freight charges. No better evidence of this can be pro duced than the exceedingly low rates of freight between Savannah and Augusta, when compared with other points a few hundred miles on either side of us. Mr. M. A COHEN is still the Agent of this line at Savannah, to whom all Goods should be consigned, which will be forwarded free of any charge for commission. One of the Boats of this line will leave Savannah every other day, and discharge at this place tri-weekly. JOHN A. MOORE.
