VV hen A i fired Raw line, the merchant, first took bia
hr de home to a handsome bonte in the vicinity of
Rawll Square, Evelina wae delighted with tbe

f.e ft daughter*, and belonging to a family who
lived *. a showy, rather than comfortable manner,

Rawimf bad introduced hia pretty wife to all
L -* friends, arid at the houses o! those friends they
had made many fresh acquaintances , so that a
twelvemonth had hardly p*.-*ed over their heads
before they had a laige visiting circle. One of their
rerent acquaintance* was a rich stock broker,
named Saunders, who, like Alfred, bad a handsome
u if#-, of whom he was not a little proud, and who
invited the Rawlins’ to a company dinner.
1 wish you to drees and look your best, iny
love,” sad Alfred to bia wife, with an affectionate
erode adding : “ These people may be of some
use to uh Besides, Mrs. Saunders is always very
handsomely dressed.’
“ Hhal, i put on my light blue satin ? I think
that’s your favorite V 1 said the wife looking up
in his fare with & smile ; 44 or shall it be the white
watered silk 1 only, to* be erne, that ia not very
fresh.”
“ Have anew drees at once, ’ said Rawlins, giv
ing her a ten pound note.
The young wife wa not slow in following up hia
ir.jum ti'-iis , only in one respect she went beyond
th-m. That is to say, she not only spent tire ten
pounds to purchase a rich figured silk, but ten more,
to have it made and trimmed suitably. However,
it fitted exquisitely, and setoff her beauty to great
advantage, aod she repeated to hers* If that she
was hut conscientiously carrying out Alfred’s in-,
tentions ; eo that when the day came, and *b© wan
eiju pp*:d for the dinner, and her husband looked at
her with grcai pride, ar.d expressed bis admiratiou
ofher taste she only laughed as she said, It cost a
little more than the ten pounds ; but I know, dear
Alfred, you made ruch a point of my being well

make a present by halves.
•O toe milliner can wait,” observed Kvelina.
“O no. Let uh pay our way,’’ said Alfred,
whi business habits were paramount with him.
“Wl.i t is it 7 three or four pounds?’’
Kvelina slighlly colored, aa she said ehe had spent
ten pounds.more. However, her husband made no
unkind remarks, but handed her over the money;
and they drove. £Tto theirjnew acquaintance's abode
The stockbroker lived in oDe of those delightfully
sit unfed houses that command a view of Hyde Park
end the mansion was furnished in the most costly
manner
Mi- Saunders, a handsome woman, some
y. ai. older than Kvelina, received her guests w ith
nil the self possession of one accustomed to be
flattered aud courted for h-r riches. Though at
borne, she wore a diamond necklace and ear rings,
though good ta-te might have suggested a simpler
mode of adornment in France the rule is not to
nj pear to oiilstiuie one's guests. Wtiy is not this
r'istoiii imported, instead of the hencoops, under
the mime of <■• incline, that spoil a prelty figure ?
However, Mis Itaunders did not, in fact, outshine
her gueets, as all ihe ladies, except Evelina, wore
that profusion of coetiy jew. Is which bespeaks the
purse proud upstart. Their dresses, too, were of
gild and silver brocade, to which some had added
!| „ Indian rearls heavy with rich embroidery, as
it determined to carry as much value on their backs
as is compatible w ith modern costume.
The dinner, served in silver dishes, was unexcep
tionable, the stockbroker having secured the scr
vies < a first rale Kreuch covk, at a salary nix
times higher than that of the governess who had
Ihe care of his children's minds, hearts and disposi
tions , and three huge livery servants waited on the
guests With the precisionol automatons.
Duiing the short time the gentlemen remained
below, Alfred found menus to say a few words on
business to Ihe stockbroker, to which the great man
gave a satisfactory reply, so that be came up stairs
in high spirits, aud fell vastly pleas, and with the re
sult of this first party lliseye naturally sought for
Evelina, to telegraph to her a portion of bis own
content, hut, to his surprise, he saw her sitting a|.
most apart from the oilier ladies, and looking rath
er out of sorts.
The fact WHS, Mrs. Rawlins felt moitiHe 1 more
than can be expr.sscd. The dress she had thought
so splendid, and which, she had the proudeon
s ~,U s ness, Imd cost twenty pounds, was positively
insignificant beside the iver dressed bankers'and
st„. k Im kei s wives by w limn she w as surrounded.
And worse still, while they exhibited a galaxy of
diamonds, she had only a simple pearl necklace!
I’oor thing! ehe bad not yet discovered that youth
m and he.ufy are, after all, the richest ornament of
any aud how many women do not lind this out till
too Ini. ‘ Then, too, the sight of the silver dishes
Id humbkd her considerably. For she thought
bow disagreeable it would be, when they invited the
Haundet's in return, to set them down to a dinner
i,lv. and meiely in ehina, anti, warse than all, waited
on by a hired waiter
Nor was this all. Mrs. Maunders had shown such
pal,, nimng airs, an i made her feel so acutely the
iiiilashi,.liable distance at which she lived, by apolo
gi/.ing aloud lor uot, having yet been able to get so
Inr to .all upon her. that Evelina was at once wilt of

1 liable to account for the cloud on his wife's brow,
All'. and was steering towards her through the tables,
chairs, and ottomans that blocked the way, when
Mr Saunders, having meanwhile approached her
by a shorter cut, entered into conversation with
her mid f resently pretty Mrs Rawlins had recov
rred her usual serenity.
lie tiieir leaving the house, Alfred endeavored
several limes to draw from his wife w hether auy
i,ad occurred to vex her, but without euc
, ..edit g iu obtaining any avowal of the kind, except
tlmt she observed, with a sort of bitter laugh, that
rho need not have spent twenty pounds on her
dre.s, to look no insiguificaut beside the other la
dies. ,
iny dear,’* returned her husband, you
km w 1 si* old think y. u equally pretty in a drees
of live pi unds, and I’m sure roue looked kftttdsomer
At any other time this compliment would have
been di lirtitlul to Evelina's ears; but just now it
sounded like the comfort offered to a child vexed
with its playthings, while the only comfort she
would have been sensible to, at that moment, would
have been the premise of a gown worth forty founds
,o,xt time She therelore only answered, “And then
they have j. wels, which I have not”
The next day Alfred went to the jeweller s, and
fasti! several handsome sets of jewels for his wife to
olio we from and when she had selected the most
expensive oue amongst them, in order, as ehe said,
to do her dear A!ft . and m. re credit amongst their rich
friends, lit- < occluded be had now satisfied all her
little banketings for show and tlnery.
But, alas’ this was only a beginning.
l,f doe time it wits necessary, as liawlms observ
ed to invite Saunders and his wife to uiite with
them Evelina lot ked aghast. What would Mrs.
Saunders think of their dinner set ?
“Think ! ’said Alfred laughing, “why, that they
are richer than wo—and l ain sure they would be
very sorry to think otherwise.”
Evelina sighed. She thought that they ought at
any tate to have a footman, for that a waiter in
plain clothes looked such a mere make-shift. Raw
fins took up a pen and calculated the cost of a toot
nan—board, clothes aud all—and thought it would
add greatly to tbeir expenses for a rather useless
*’ But, mv dear,” objected Evelina, “you would
not ike our friends to think you caunot afford a
footman —i! is neceesaryto keep up appearances.”
At last the matter was compromised by Alfred s
oonsetiling to a page, whose livery would cost less,
and whose see would clear the tax; and according
ly Mo KawLm hastened to hire a lad belore the day
fixed tor the dinner, though she dare uot trust him
„„ bo momentous an occasion, without Ihe aid of
the more experienced waiter who usually attended.
And it wa. well she did. for the page got complele
drunk with champagne before tne desert was on
the table at and broke a number of plates and glasses,
.ides stuinb iug on the stairs when bringing up
Ihe tea, and disabling himself lor tho lest of the eve
’ ‘Vhe next day'the page was dismissed, and there
was an alarming quau’ity of glass and china to be

ind Moreover, she had the uncomfortable tec-iiug
that ah h**r eff ri*, and all the money tpent, had

M?. Rw’in would live iu that out-of-the way
neiiihht rhox and. she did v* at least, move into one
of the •quai* which v% i ’ !be more endurable than
Montague iUace.
So ti Um*e had once ■'•> j<bted Kvelina wars vo
i'h?se woWf ieft a Klin*; in her heart that could
net be eradicated, except by a removal ; and she
now directed all her elcquer.ee to gain this wished
tor end. Rawhne waa vexed and much surprised,
to find her exproee such dislike to the houae where
they had been so happy and comfortable, and was uot
;.t all dispose to have the neighborhood, which he
■ ad cbi sen as being a convenient distance from the
o.ty But she urged upim him so vehemently the

handsome h>*c?*e. which would increase his credit,
and thereby add te his business, that at length an
t.ther compromise was entered into, as in the affair
of the ive and the h'Otman, and, as soon as he
could gel rid of hii iease, they removed into a house

On e ptwseesed of this valuable piece of informa

Tot;'.. maxim of Mrs Sauudnu.
“Av but if one goes forwards too fast, one may ‘
rush headlong into a precipice, replied Rawlins, j
i * nothing more that time, though she I
did not relinquish her point, only she altered her -
I tacdice, end before long she found out that the air :
l of Ruseeli Square did not agree with her. and thought |

I who t onridered she bad been rather feveri-h of late,
j and t ) whom she gave a vivid description of the
I foggy morniugp, which she seemed to tLink inherent
to that square, whose pavement she declared was
aimoet always damp— earned a degree of weight
with Alfred which the mere caprice of fashion ana
the pretext of appearance could never have
ed. He proposed to give up town altogether, and
take a vi’la of Highgate, flef:laring that he would
not du his own oonveaience of being nearer tie
city iu competition with Evelina a health.
But this was not what Evelina wanted, nh* was
r:b; e u.:: B fan‘the^
R, m ,| aud Bayswater. The b-uss.was newly built,
and was much more expensive than the one they
uTft though the rooms were not of the grand dimen
sions of despised Kusb-I! square, neither bad they
such a nice garden before tbeir windows ; but then
there waa the comfort of being in a genteeler neigh
borhood, aud this was all the il y youug wife
thought of. Seeing Eveliuo eo mne-b pleased. Raw
line no longer regretted the pecuniary sacrifices he
had made, and maulnlly resolved to work harder
than ever to maintain the etate of luxury into which
they were entering; only he expressed the hope
that they would have no more removals now. Eve
lina kissed him, and gave him the assurance that the
bouse and the neighborhood were so much to her
taste, that she could Dot by any possibility wish for
a change.
“And you know, my dear,’ added ehe, “it was
principally for your sake that i wished it at all,’
hastily adding, on seeing a smile fiit across her bus
Land’s face, “for even healih is only a secondary
consideration compa'ed to the necessary of keeping
up appearances’
Being now almost a neighbor of Mrs. Saunders,
the two ladies saw each other more frequently. The
stockbroker s wife did not this time find any fault
with Evelina's choice of a bouse, but she hinted ths.t
it was perfectly ridiculous Mr. Rawlins did not set
up his carriage. It was almost giving the world to
understand that he could not afford it! In that
case, what business had he to eo fine a house ?
Evelina again set to work. But ehe found it
more difficult than ehe had ant icipated, to introduce
the enbject of a carriage. Rawlins was quite wil
ling to pay for the the hire of a brougham as often
ae she wanted, but a carriage wuuid entail the ne
ceesity ot a coachman, the purchase of horses, their
k. ep, and eo forth, he was alraiu it wat not to be
thought of. However she preened tne matter upon
himeo urgently, assuring him it would conduce to his
benefit in the end by raising his credit with Mr.
Saunders, so that at length he gave way, though
scarcely convinced.
With the sitting up a carriage, there came more
vieiting, and more new acquaintances, eome of
them being of a higher station ill the world than their
city friends. Amongst others there was a Kady
Adela, the wife of Colonel Bertram, who did Mrs.
Rawlins the honor r f patronising her, because hav
ing no carriage of her own, ebe was glad to make
use of that ot even a merchant's wife. Evelina
was so highly gratified at being allowed a degree of
intimacy with one whom she could style ‘your lady
ship,” that she would put herself to any inconve
nience to oblige her, even to the length of taking
Lady Adela to pay a round of visit*, aud she, the
owner of the equipage, remaining below in the car
riage, while her aristocratic friend visited her high
born acquaintance. If Lady Adela was ihe jay in
boi rowed plumes, certain we are that Evelina acteu
the part of a goose! Well for her would it have
been it this acquaintance had brought no worse re
sults.
Lady Adela was neither eo pretty ae Evelina, nor
so fine a women ae Mrs. Saunders,; but ehe dressed
admirably, and bad that self possessed, cold, polish
ed manner that is esteemed the perfection of good
breeding. In her quiet but cutting way, she soon
made Evelina understand that Mrs. Saunders was
a vulgar upstart, whose riches would uot procure
her admission into the circles ot even the poorer
scions of the aristocracy. Evelina was at once so
Haltered that Lady Adela made a distinction in her
lavor, aiid so thoroughly ashamed ot having hither
to pinned her faith to Mrs. Saunders’ idea of gen
tility and propriety, that she now surrendered her
sell heart and soul to the suggestions of her new
adviser. Only Adela never obtruded, and scarcely
even volunteered advice— it had to be elicited by a
series of questions. Thus, she never made the
slightest comment on the neighborhood Mrs. Raw
lius inhabit'd, till repeatedly pressed to give her
opinion, when at last she hinted, delicately, it was
an exceedingly respectable neighborhood lor a mer
chant's family—but she herself, though not rich,
could never iLink of any residence on the north
side of Oxtord street; conoiderately adding, how
ever, thin every one must act according to circum
stances, which are not always within one's control.
Mtb. Rawlins went home with throbbing temples
and a throbbing heart, iba day she heard lids sen
tenee pronounced against her house. ‘lhe house
became hateful to her, and ahe again set to work to
reconcile Alfred to a change. SUc could not urge
that Ihe air was less wholesome than in a much
closer street just skilling May F’air, which she imd
secretly selected as the object ot her ambition, but
the oldstoryof keeping up appearances waa re
vived, with some variations. Cel Bertram, ehe
aesuied Allred, would be very userid to him, and if
he saw him amongst his eel, by living ia Ihe same
neighborhood, their intimacy could but lead to the
heel results.
Rawlins thought it would but lead to fresh ex
pense, which he really did not think he could pru
dently enter into; and then Evelina shed a lew
tears, and said that his love and a collage was all
she cared tor, but tor Lis advancement, she thought
it desirable to make a show.
“Suppose we try the cottage ?” said Rawlins ;
“for 1 have my fears that we are going on too
fast.’’
“Oh! no—no—no—dear! I cant let you bury
yourself iu a cottage,” said Evelina, with great an
imation , “it would never do if it got abroad that
you were going downwards ; leases the more tor
keeping up appearances, and showing a brave front
to the enemy ! ” added she, with a hopeful smile.
To be brief, she persuaded hnn at last, against his
better judgment, to lemoveto May F’air ; and then
a parly was to be given, not U) tbeir friends, but to
Lady Adela’s who would kindly make out, a list of
persons she would introduce to them. Some of
their own acquaintances, it is true, were to be tole
rated, to make up tie number, bu they were to go
through tile Adelaa scrutiny. To
Alfred's great annoyance, Mr. and Mis Saunders
weie black balled, but lie insisted upon it that they
must be invited.
“Oh! my love ! invite that vulgar wotnaif, when
Lady Adela is coming for the first time to a parly at
our bouse !” cried Evelina.
And she declared iL waa the more impossible, as
lately ehe had given orders never to be at home
when the stockbroker’s wile, called.
“You must bemad!” said Alfred, “when you
kuow that her husband aud Ido so much business
together. They really must and shall be invited.”
He had never spoken thus positively before.
Evelina replied, with the air of a martyr, “that she
would write to the woman!”—which she did, only
who took eare to forget to have the letter posted.
At last the grand day name. There was the
most elegant supper from Gunter’s and expensive
plants placed all along the staircase, and in short
every preparation that Evelina could think of, at
Lady Adela’s suggestion, for keening up appear
ances. She Imd just yielded up her tine head of
hair to her maid’s haudicrait, to dress it beoouiiug
ly with some velvet bows, binged with diamonds,
(she had diamonds now,) when the housemaid came
and said, “Master wanted to speak to her.”
Evelina looked rather put out, aud half irritated.
Alfred had that day dined in the city, being unusu
ally busy ; and she was annoyed because lie came
home sooner than she expected, wishing ail her
preparations to be completed first. However, ahe
went down into his study—the only room not inva
ded by festive paraphernalia—and asked, somewhat
impatiently, what he wanted ; when a glance at hia
disturbed countenance made lierstart with alarm.—
l’ositively be seemed to have aged by several years
since that morning; and her lips trembled as she
inquired whether anything was ‘lie matter 1
“Matter! The matter is, all this folly will ruin
us !” cried Rawlius, in a tone in wLieh he had never
before addressed her. “Just look at these account
books.”
“Oh! I can’t stop about accounts, cow,” said
she. “I am expecting my gueets, and am not yet
di eased.’*
“I tell you we are on the brink of ruin, madam !”
exclaimed Rawlins.
Evelina sank into a < hair. “How cruel of you
to talk in this manuer, Alfred, and put me out ot
spirits, just when I want to make the best of every
thing and show people how well off we are. You
know it is all to keep up appearances !”
“Zounds ! madam, keeping up appearances will
ruin us, as you will find !” said Rawlius, in a hoarse
voice.
“Well, you’ve your friend, Mr. Saunders, of
whom you cau borrow money,” said Evelina, sud
denly looking up. •
“i should have had if you had not insulted hia
wife,”
Evelina now repented the stroke of diplomacy in
which she had prided herself a moment before, and
would have given auytbiug to have sent the letter
of invitation, only it was too late. However, she
entreated her husband to be calm, ar.d to keep up
appearances, at least, before their guests.
“1 bhail keep up appearances by leaving the
house,” said Rawlins. **l should hate the sight of
these parasites ; so, good night, Evelina.”
And he hastened from the room, before ehe h
time to say a word more.
Evelina now dressed herself, and smoothing her
brow*, managed to keep up appearances so well,
that an hoar after the scene in the study,'she was
laughing aud dancing as if nothing had happened ;
and persuading herself she was adit g the part ol a
heroine in so doing. The supper was unexception
able, the wines exquisite and abundant, and the
guests were thoroughly delighted. But now fol
lowed aa awful catastrophe, that put a finish to the
festivity
There came a knock at Ihe door, not by the prac
tised baud of a footman and a couple of police
men lifted from a cab the lifeless remains of the
seif murdered master of the house. Poor liawlins
bad suddenly failed in his railway speculations, aud,
finding bankruptcy daring him m the face bad sunk
beneath his troubles, and rashly tired a pistol at. hi.- 1
cwn bead, in a secluded part of Hyde Park.
Evelina was honor-stricken . and her anquish
was ali the greater as ehe reproached bereelt for
not having soothed hie wounded spirit when he
came to unburden hie heart. Perhaps a kind word,
aud the promise of giving up ail ihe baubles which
had ooit nim his Louor a merchant, and subse
queutly his iiie, might have turned him from his
purpose. Had he found her prepared for every sac
rifice. could he have abandoned her ? Alas ! con
science whispered, 44 No !
Tbe guests ail dispersed in dismay. None stay
ed to console the widow-—not even Lady Adela,
who had aided iu her ruin—and she found herself
alcue in her remorse and wretchedness.
Tbe sale of all the furniture did not dear iff poor
Rawlins debts, eo nothin* was left tor tbe widow’s
support; and the once proud Evelina v> as thankful
to accept the place ot a governess, and lived to see
her Iriend, I-any Adela, refuse to recognise her by
even a distant bow.
j Alas! what would not Evelina now give that the
past years weie a dream, and to find herself once
more in Montague Place. Bat unfortunately we
don’t live in fairy-laud, so she h doomed to spend
her lilt* in regretting the folly of what ahe called
“ keeping up appearaut-es
Thf Wat Unci e Sam is Plucked.—Lieut Ha
ber* haw, U. S. ahip Pocahontas, states in a letter to
tbe Philadelphia Ledger, that tbe Pocahontas ieft
the Cape of Good Hope, on the Sth uit . with her
bunkers full of a very ordinary white ash ooal, and
with four hundred bags stowed on deck, to avoid,
if possible, Doing again awakened some fine morn
ing with the information that ** the coal was run

bet-u sent out from Philadelphia at great expense
bv the American ship Fleet wood for the express
use of the Pocahontas, consequently, w hen her
officers found that it gave 38 per cent, of ashes
l go.id anthracite should give only from to 8 per
cent.,) they began to think that the Government
had paid for good ooal.and received bad. This dif
ference in the percentage of aeheeis a serious thing
it amounts to just this: A steamer goes to sea, for
instance, with’ oue hundred tons of good coal, and
throws tons in the shape of ashes*, thus she
baa just enough, we will suppose, to carry her into j
port. The next time she starts with bad coal, and j
throws over 38 tons of ashes—of course the remaih- ;
iug tiJ tons are not enough to take her jn, and she is {
rippled. Lieut. H. says that this thing, of giving i
ban cjnii lor good is often the case. Uncle Bam
he thinks must have a grand storehouse of 44 tail
feathers, ’ to etand his ground under such constant
plucking.
The Lynchburg Virginian announces the death

world, if they do not adopt efficient measures for re
conquering the Territory, aud depriving Y’oung of
the authority he has so terribly misused. This is a
matter in whieh we have a direct interest; Mor

country, and its apostles are constantly on the aiert

In Frau e sufficient rain had fallen during the

the supplies of wheat were lees liberal than ot late.

Sailing Vessels in Commission and Ordinary. —
Pennsylvania, lift) guns ; Columbus, 80; Delaware,
84 guns ; North Carolina, 84 guns; Vermont, 84
gnus. None of these are fit for sea in their present
state. Each of them would have to be razeed into
40 or 50 gun frigates. None of them have been to
sea for years except the Ohio, during the Mexican
war. The Constitution, Potomac, Brandywine, Co
lumbia, Raritau, United Slates, St. Lawrence, Con
gress, Sabine and Santee. These were all 50 gun
frigates. The Constitution is undergoirg repairs,
and is to be razeed to 24 guns, 8-inch and 10 inch.
The Potomac, Brandywine, Columbia. Raritan and
the United States, reqi ire large repairs, aud cau
only be made effective by being razeed to sloops es
24 guns. * The St. Lawrence is in commission on the
Brazil station, and would avail very little in active
service. The CoDgreas is a large, tine vessel, but
is at present dismantled and repairing, and cannot
be made immediately effective for service. The
Santee aud Sabine are both new frigates, of about
2000 tons, with guiis of 8-inch and 32-puund calibre.
They are of the old-fashiou, and by no means a
match for the English vessels of modern build.
Cumberland, 24, on the coast of Africa; Savan
nah, 24, iu the Gulf; Constellation, 24, in the Medi
terranean ; Macedonian, 24, ready for sea, at Bos
ton. Alt these are fine, large ships, mounting very
heavy guns, and are of the class best calculated to
do good service iu battle. .
Saratoga, 22, in ordinary; Germantown, 22, in
China; Portsmouth, 22, on the return from China;
St Mary's, 22, ia the Pacific. ‘These are all first
class vessels, large, heavily armed, and capable of
doing good service.
Plymouth. This is an ordinance ship, aud a large,
fine vessel.
Falmouth, 20, in Brazil; St. Louis, 20, in ordina
ry ; Vandal ia, 20. in tbe Pacific; Cyane, 20, in ordi
nary , Levant, 20, in ordinary ; John Adams, 20,in
ordinary, Vincennes, 20, in the African squadron.—
These are all old vessell, built under the acts of ”-4
and ‘37, they have been largely repaired, and are
by no means first-class ships.
Dale, 16, on the African station, Decatur, 10, m
the Pacific ; Preble, 16, practice ship ; Marion, 16,
Africa. These are small, old fashioned vessels,
not of the class of ships required in modern Bervice.
Brig Bainbridge, 6 Africa; brig Perry, 6, Brazil;
brig Dolphin. 4, Gulf. These are very inferior ves
sels, and would be almost useless in active service.
F. Cooper. This vessel was bought for explor
ing service, and would be of little avail for war pur-
poses.
Steam Vessels. —Niagara, 12, in England ; Roan
oke, 40, repairing, Colorado, 40, in the Gult; Wa
bash, 40, in the Gulf; Merrimac, 40, in China ; in
the Pacific; Minnesota, 40, F’rankHo, 50, build
ing; Stevens, buildiug, for harbor defence. These
are new’ steamers cf the largest size, mount
ing 8,9 and 10-inch guns, aud would be a full match
for any 100 gun-ships in tbe English navy. They
are all screw-propellers. ,
Sau Jacinto 13, on the return from China. This
is a very fine aud effective screw steamer.
Hartford, Richmond, Lancaster, Norfolk aud
Pensacola. These vessels, when afloat, will form a
valuable addition to tbe navy, being large screw
steamers, averaging 2,000 tons, and heavily armed.
It will, however, require several months to get them
ready.
Despatch and Arctic. These are small screw
steamers, were bought for the coast service,
aud are hardly fit for war uses. Both are iu the
Gulf.
Susquehanna 15, in quarantine, New York ; Pow
hatan 9, in China ; Miesi.-sippi 10, in China; Sara
nac 6, in the Pacific. These are fine and effective
piddle steamers, and capable of good service.
Fulton 5, in the Gulf; Micli gau 1, in the Lakes.
Both of these are good new ships—fast aud effec
tive.
Water Witch, in the Gulf—a very email paddle
steamer.
Massachusetts 9 and John Hancock 2—iu ordi
nary, Sau Francisco. Nei her of these vessels is
very effective. The Massachusetts was a transport
vessel during the Mexican war.
Warren, PrincetOD,lndependence, Fredonia, Sup
ply, Release aud Allegany. AU of these are re
ceiving and store-ships, aud areof little avail as ships
of war.
Active Force.— lo liue-of-battle ships, non-ser
viceable ; 10 frigates, three seiviceable ; 24 sloops,
all fit for active Bervice ; 3 brigs, all in service ; 1
schooner, useless ; 6 screw steamers, Ist class, five
ready for service; 2 do. do., do , building; 6 do.

gates, screw, 172 guns; 1 steam Bloop, screw, 13
guns ; 2 steam light, screw, 11 guns; 7 paddle
steamers, 39 guns. Total number of vessels 42;
tola! number of guns 789.
Thus it will be seen that the government is pre
pared to send to bl-h at once in case of war only 42
vesseis, sail and steam of all classes, carrying 789
guns. In addition to these, it has at disposal sor 6
small steam vessels in the revenue aud coast survey
service. None of which, however, are fit for wa
purposes except the Harriet Lane, anew paddle
cutter of 650 tons.
THE NAVY or GREAT BRITAIN.
We have not room for a detailed statement of
tbe British naval force, or that of other European
powers. The statement of a few general facts,
however, will be sufficient to bliow the enormous
disparity between the little navy we have enumera
ted in the foregoing paragraphs, and that by virtue
of which Britain claims the empire of tbe seas.
Great Britain has some ninety vessels of the line,
carrying from seventy-two to one hundred and
thirty guns, the majority of them screw steamers
Her Bailing vessels of the line are most of them m
disuse, being used for receiving, store and trans
port ships. Her screw propellers of this class carry
long thirty two’s, and eight inch guns, and one teD
ineh pivot gun. She has some thirty large -crew
frigates, carrying heavy guns, most of them eight
inch. She is also building a class of steamers, sev
eral of which are in the water, designed to cope
with our new vessels of the first class.
Her present class of screw sloops are large vessls
of from one thousand two hundred'to two thousand
lons, carrying from twelve to twenty-four heavy
8 inch gnus, with one pivot-gun. She has about
two hundred and fifty light steam vessels, all screw,
divided as follows ; Dispatch vessels of six hundred
and fifty tons, and three hundred horse power each
carrying two to four thirty ! wo pounders, and two
pivot eight icch guns. A class of vessels of about
four hundred tons, and oue hundred horse power,
carrying two howitzers and one eight-inch pivot.
Her third and most effective class of vessels are
small screw gun-boats, ranging from two hundred
to three hundred tons burden, with from twenty to
sixty-horse power, carrying a light eight-inch gun
or long thirty-two pounder, and one or two twenty
four or thirty two pound howitzers. Besides these,
she has between forty and fifty paddle et amers, of
various sizeß; from tbe Terrible, of one thousand
eight hundred tons and twenty guns, to the Pigmy,
of fifty tons and one gun.
F’rum this statement it will be seen that, if she
has men toman them. Britain can place thirty
screw slcamera of the line, twenty screw frigates,
forty sc. ew sloops, and one hundred and fifty light
er steam vessels on our Atlautic coast, without de
creasing the strength of any one of her fleets on
other stations, and still have a large force to hold in
in reserve. But we must take into consideration
that, in case of war with us, she would have largely
to increase all of her fleets in order to protect her
eouimerc’al colonies from the attacks of our priva
teers. Auother point claimed against her by France
is, that, her naval officers, with but few excep
tions, are uot scientific and well educated in their
profession. They go through no such course of train
ing aa in Ihe American and French navies. Still,
the British navy is most formidable, and contains at
all times a large reserve force of over three hun
dred sailing vessels, most of them modernized, and
capable of being easily converted into steamers.

Trngedy in Texas.
Belton, Bell co., Texas, May 18, 1858.—1 have
to record an awful tragedy that occurred iu Brown
county, in this State, last week. Two entire fami
lies, consisting of ten persons, were all murdered in
cold blood, for money, with the exception of three
children, the oldest a little girl eight years old, and
one an infant, who was found sucking its mother’s
breast, 21 hours after she had been murdered. They
were murdered by four men from Lampaas county,
who professed to be out on a surveying expedition.
They knew that those families had money,and they
went disguised as Indians, thinking that by mur
dering the whole families, none but Indiaus would
he suspected The little girl, however, recognised
one of them, who had frequently been at her fath
er’s house. She made her escape into the field
where her father was ploughing, w here she found him
murdered. She then went nobly to work with her
little hands, and completely covered him up with
dirt, to keep the buzzards off uutil she made her
way to the nearest settlement, and gave the alarm.
Tiie neighbors all then collected, and w r ent in pur
suit, and finally trailed them to their homes in Lam
pass county, where they arrested them after a des
perate resistance by themselves aud friends.
Toe party were all men of property, and respect
ably connec ed. The party having them in charge
passed through Coyell county last Wednesday, on
their way with them to the place where the mur
ders were committed, where I have no doubt they
will lynch them. They were securely bound, and
guarded by about forty men. They expected that
an attempt would be made to rescue them ; if so,
they intend to shoot the prisoners the first thing.
Millions of grasshoppers are now daily passing
over this and the adjoining counties. They are so
numerous that they almost shut out the light of the
sun. The lowest are some two or three hundred
yards high, aud it has been ascertained by the aid
of powerful glasses, that they extend up as high as
two miles, aa thick as they can fly. Their course
is northwest. Some few have fallen in this county,
but uot enough to do auy serious injury to the
crops. I think they are Mormons in principle, and
are making their way to Salt Lake. Pecan.
Kfcvivxr. is Coll’mhus.—Never have we wit
nessed such a general and intense intere.t manifes
ted bv any people as now pervades all classes of
this community. Old uud yi ung, rich and poor,
learned and illiterate, the grave, the gay, the mor
alist, the debaushee, the believer and the scoffer, all
appear to be worked up to a feeling which, upon
any other subject than that of religion, might seem
fanaticism. But the evidences we have seen, and
the conversions that have been made, would fasten
the conviction upon the mind of the most skeptical,
that there is some extraordinary influence at work
upon the hearts and consciences of the people, the
like of which was never s. en before in this city.—
Daily and nightly mourners crowd the altars for the
prayers of the llbnrch, and numbers are being ad
ded to the membership of the respective denomina
tions. On Sunday, never has there been such a
‘ gracious outpouring of the spirit ‘ as was witness
ed at the different Churches. Able and eloquent
sermons were delivered at each, and on the doors
of the Church being opened at the Methodist
Church, forty six joined, and on Sunday night this
number was increased to fifty eight. At night there
were about one hundred persons presented them
selves at the altar for prayer and a number of others
(perhaps fifty or sixty) knelt at their seats. At the
Baptist Church seventeen persons were baptised
and a large number asked an interest in the prayers
of the Church We have not learned how many
jomed the Presbyterian Church, but learn there
was much interest manifested.
We are not apprised of the exact number that
have joined the d-ffereut churches during the revi
val, but from the best data we have, we should
judge it would approximate three hundred. We
wou'd be pleased for some cue competent to do so,
to give us the exact number, as we doubt not it
would be a matter of interest to the Christian world
generally.—Nxu, lit iast.
The Wheat Crop.—We have taken some trou
ble to ascertain the prospect of the wheat cros,
and have to say that if farmers themselves give a
correct account, it is bad—very bad as compared
with the proepect boasted off several weeks ago.
The weather has been too dry and cold, aod the
ravages of the fiy and chinch bug, with the blight by
frost, have opperated very disasterously indeed.
TbS crop, in some places, will be good, but there
are many neighborhoods in which it will fall below
and average. We hear of some fields which will
not pay for the trouble of hutting. So, upon the
whole the wheat crop of this t art of the State, will
not be large. *
Oats and Core are also suffering for lack of rain.
There is time enough yet for corn, but oats, will be
short, however favorable the weather may be from
this thime to harvest. —Salubury (-V. C.) It otcA.

unde-stand that Gen. Houston, immediately after

thousand men, who are anxious to follow the hero

were thousands ready to follow him to any part of

Nearly all tae stock here is in the hands of planters, who
are generally holding for 12c. The prospect of the
growing crop in this region so far as my information ex
tends, is very flattering. It is, however, too early to
form any estimate of the crop the present year.

EUREKA OIL
IS the result of many years’ experiments mtde by a
medical man, a dealer in slaves, in efforts to meet
and successfully combat tbe different ills and aches
those under his care were subject to from the various ex
posures in traveling and camp life. It has been found
from experience to possess restorative and healding vir
tues equalled by no other mixture or compound yet dis
covered for the following afflictions :
S< res or Eruptions of the Skin, Ulcerated Sores on the
legs or any part of the body, Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Head Ache, Tooth Ache, Bone Fellons, Tetters, Pains,
Sere Throat, Swollen Gians, Sore or weak Eyes in man
or beast, Ear Ache, Cramp or Pain in the Stomach,
Colic, Weak Back, Spinal Affections, Sore Breasts, Sore
or Cracked Nipples, Fever Sores, Scald Head, Fresh
Cuts and Bruises, all Pains iu the Limds and Joints,
Sprains and Strains, Swollen Feet and Ankles, Burns,
Stricture.
We claim no magic for the workings of this great
soother and successful competitor in the healing art, of
all the remedies which have been put forward for public
favor. If the first application does not give relief, try the
second, third or fourth, and we w'll guarantee the suffer
er shall not be disappointed. Where it has been intro*
duced it has superceded DeGrath's and all other reme
dies. We challenge the world for the production of its
equal in allaying pain, or in the healing art. It would
seem superfluous to mention the wonderful cures pro
duced in a very few minutes in the streets of Columbus,
Ga., when administered to a horse judged to be dying
under the effects of the bots, and on two other occasions
when administered to mules suffering greatly with colic.
Price ONE DOLLAR per bottle.
For sate in Columbus, Georgia, by Danforth, Nagel

This truely great Medicine is sold in the city of Augus
ta only by CLARKE A WELLS, Druggists, who will in
every case refund the money when satisfaction is not
given in the use of one bottle, if used strictly as direct
ed for any of the above disease?. For Coughs common
among the people, the EUREKA OIL has no equal. 12
or 15 drops in water three or more times in the day, the
same at night if needed, no charge will be mx.de for the
Oil in case of return of Chill and Fever. If rubbed well
on the spine aDd breast and neck in time of fever, after
the lever a continuation of the same application, and
take 15 drops in waters every five hours, till the time for
Chill passes off.
Every bottle is properly directed, with certificates at
ached. Planters need no other doctor on their planta
tions over Eureka Oil. Try it—it is no humbug. Half
the quantity for children.

PATENT MEDICINES.
The Liver Invigorator,
PREPARED BY DR. SANFORD,
IS a great scientific medical discovery, and U daily
working cures, almost too great to believe. It cures
as if by magic, even the first dose giving benefit ann,
seldom more than one bottle is required to cure any kind
of Liver Complaint, fron the worst Jaundice or Dysoep
sia to a common headache, all of which are the result ot
a diseased Liver.
The Liver is one of the principal regulators • f the
human body, aud when it *2 perfoimsits functions wc 1
the powers of the system Uj are fully developed. The
stomach is almost entirely dependent on tho he-ilthy
action of the Liver for the proper performance of its
functions when the stomach is at fault, the b weld
are at fault, and the whole r. system suffers in conse
quence of one organ—the Liver-having ceased to
do its duty. Forthediseas . c-s of that organ, onaof the
proprietors has made it his study, iu a practice ol
mre thau twenty years, ito find some remedy where
with to counteract lbv many derangements to
which it ia liable. Uj
To prove that this re” medv is at last found, arv
person troubled with Complaint in any
of its forms, has but to try a'w'bottle, ana conviction is
cert jin. r u
A compound has been vO formed by dissolving gums
and extracting that part w which is soluble for theme
tive virtues of the These gums remov
all morbid or bad matter. from tbe system, supply
ing in their place a healthy flow of bile, invigorating
the stomach, causing food r to Igest well, purifying

after effects, felt by u-ing Lai >mel or Mineral Pot

One dose after eatime is sufficient to relieve tbe
stomach and prevent the from rising and sour

Only one dose taken before-retiring prevents
nightmare.
Only one dose taken at rH night loosens the bowels
gently, and cures costive i ness.
One dosetaxen after each meal will cure Dyspepsia

One dose takeu often kli w-iP prevent the recurrence
of Bilious Attacks while*’ it relieves all painful feel

Only one bottle i pH needed to throw out of the
system the effects of medi cine after a long sickness
One bottle taken for Hj Jaundice removes all
yellowness or unnatural’’color from the s’; in
One dose taken a short “■Vime 1 etbie rating piv.-s I
vigor to the appetite and tw” makes tood digest well.
One dose ofien repeated r cures Ohroni: Diarrhea
in its worst forms, while Summer aud bowel com
plaints yield almost to tile ‘ tirst dose.
One or two doses cores attacks caused by worms,
while for worms iu child ren, there ia uo Borer, s
-or speedier remedy ia theworld, as it never fails.
There isno exaggeration in these statements ; they
are plain, sober facts, that we can give evidence
to prove, v. hileall who it are giving their unan
mons testimony in its jjfavor.
We take infinite pleasure ia recommemling this medi
cine ns a preventive for Fever ami Ague, Chill Fever
and all Fevers of a Bilious type. It operates with cer
taint.v, and thousands are wlliiug to testily to its won
deriul virtues.
Among tbe hundreds of Liver Remedies now ottered
to the public, there are none we can so highly recom
mend as DR. SANFORD’S INVIGORATOR, so gene
rally known now throughout the Union. This prepara
tion is truly a Liver Invigorator, producing the most
happy rosultsxm all who use it. Almost irmnme able
certificates have been given to the groat virtue of this
medicine by those of the highest standing in society,
