On the 11th instant, the Southwestern Rail Road declared n dividend of four dollars per share on the capital stock of the company, from the earnings of the Road for the six months ending on the 31st of Jnnonry. At a meeting of the Stockholders of the Road on the same day, the old Direc tors were re-elected. ♦ War brtwrrn llrnztl and Paraguay. Advices from Buenos Ayres, to the 2d of December, state that the Brazilians were preparing for war in the event of the impending negotiations with the Par aguay government failing. Twelve or mrloen gun-boats from England and 1 ranee are expected in the Brazils in April, and an army of twelve thousand troops is to be collecled to invade Para guay. The Paraguayans have three hun dred guns in position on different points of the river. From Montevideo, we hear of the death of Oribe. The social and political aspect of affairs at Buenos Ayres were improving. t,l<iu<>r I.aw In Ohio. Propositions have been presented in both houses of the Ohio legislature to submit to the people I lie question of amend ing the Constitution so as to return to too old system of licensing the traffic in liquors. The article of restriction in the Constitution has been a dead failure.— Public sentiment does not sustain prose cutions under it, and its operation is not uniform throughout the State. Kittle grog shops have sprung up at nearly eve ry corner and cross road, and the traffic is liberally conducted in every section, notwithstanding the vigilance of the mor al part of tho comnfunity. who would ex punge it if possible. ♦— Hon. IS, C. Bullock. A correspondent of the Montgomery Mail, siguing himself ‘‘Democrat,” pro poses the name of the young und talented Senator from Barbour county, Hop. E. C. Bullock, as a candidate for United States Senator from Alabama, to succeed lion. Benj. Fitzpatrick, whose term ex pires on the 4th of March, 186!). Should Mr. Fitzpatrick decline a re-election, or should it ho impossible to harmonise the Democracy upon him, we have no doubt the election of Mr. Bullock would givo satisfaction to the Democracy of that State. Few men of Mr. Bullock’s age stand higher in point of talent, or in the hearts of his party, than lie does, and should lie be called to the importantoffico for which “Deuioorat” suggests his name, the South will find in him not only an able but a firm and consistent supporter of her rights and honor. The Twenty-Second at Richmond. We perceive by the Richmond papers that the citizens of that city aro making very extensive arrangements for the in auguration of the Washington statue, on the anniversary of the birth of tho great original. Tho Legislature of Virginia has increased its appropriations to SSOOO to aid in paying the expenses of the in auguration. At a meeting of the citi zens of Richmond on the lUh inst., a cor dial invitation was e.xtouded to visiting military companies a: ul to her strangers, and all the private houses were requested lo be thrown open for llu ir entertainment. The stoves are to be closed, and business suspended during tho day, in order to enable all the citizens to unite in the pro cession. Major Taliaferro has issued an order requesting military companies who purpose being present to report to him, as speedily as practicable, the name, strength and arm of their respective commands, the time at which they will reach Richmond, and the mode of con veyance. From the preparations that •are making for tho ocoasion, we doubt not it will be one of tDo most imposing and numerously atteuded ceremonies of the kind that has overtaken place in this country. Death of Bishop Waugh. Tho N. V. Evening Dost of the 9th, says:—The venerable and excellent Bev erly Waugh, senior Bishop of tho Metho dist Episcopal Church, died this morning, at one o’clock, at his residence in the city of Baltimore. The Bishop has been in feeble health for some time past. The immediate cause of his doath was erysip ts, which followed a sudden attack of r oplexy. lie was sixty-uine years of age. He has been for mauy years a be loved and honored ornament and support of the great denomination to which he belonged, and was respected universally i r hie character uud ability by Christians of all sectsin the country. Bishop Waugh was elected to the Episcopal office in 1830. Previously to that time he was a resident of New Voracity, and for several years bad charge of tho Methodist Book Con cern. The Rev. Bishop Thomas A. Morris, who has been Bishop next in the order of seniority, will succeed to the rank of se nior Bishop, vacated by tho death of Bishop Waugh The New York Evening Poet, of the Bth instant, states that the shipments of specie from this country, since the the Ist of January, amount to eight million six hundred and fifty-three thousand eight hnndrod and eighty-nine dollars and forty-four cents. Bi president Pierce and Mrs. Pierce I In Madeira. The Now Hampshire Fatriot has a letter, | dated Funchai, Island of Madeira, Dec. 30, 1857, from which we extract the fol lowing notice of ex-President Fierce and Mrs. Fierce, who were passengers with the writer on board the United States steamship Powhatan for that island. The writer adds: It will be gratifying to the numerous friends of Mrs. Fierce, for indeed 1 have yet to learn who ia not, to learn that she bore the voyage with surprising fortitude; and though prostrated some days by a rough sea, rallied again, and reached Ma deira in as good health as when she left the United States. For a considerable part of the passage she walked the deck daily, and with so firm and elastic a step as to surprise as woll as gratify those who knew her exceeding delicacy and frailty. She seemed to enjoy the ocean scenery, and the movements of the ship, and the drill and muster of the men; and when on the Sabbath morning she woke up breathing the balmy air of Madeira, tho church bells softly pealing upon her ears, and the proud mountains and picturesque scenery bursting upon her eyes, her spir its instantly rallied, nnd the next day she established herself in her new home—and a most, charming one it is. The writer states that should Mrs. Fierce’s health be improved by a winter’s residence in Madeira. Gen. Pierce propo ses visiting Spain and Italy in the sum mer, and may indeed protract his travels on the continent beyond a year. The writer thus describes the scene in tho harbor of Funchal on the depnrtuoof the ox-President from tho ship: The yards were nil manned, the marines drawn up uuder arms, and the men sta tioned at the immense guns, while the hand in their red jackets, were ready to strike up the music. Arm in-arm the General and Mrs. Fierce walked to the gangway, where Captain Pearson’s boat awaited thorn, when General Peirce sud denly stopped, turned about and uncov ered, and addressed both officers and men in one of the neatest, most pertinent and eloquent speeches which, as the-offi cers confessed, they ever heard. Captain l’earson breifiy and sensibly replied in behalf of himself and his fellow officers, and when the beat was fairly under way, tho guns roared such a thunder-storm as 1 never heard—terrible even without thunderbolts and bullets.— The reverberations from the mountains, the peaks and the immense gorges were admirable, rolling about and upwards and backwards, and intermingling till it could not be told whence it started. The whole mountain seemed to shake. Reach ing the shore, a carriage awaited them; like the top of an old stage let down up on an equally old wood sled and drawn by a yoke of oxen ! Such arc tho only carriages in Funchal, and in one of thorn the late President of the United States and his lair and honorable lady entered, nothing doubting, and were conducted to their palatial homo.

C. M. JACKSON, Speaker of House of Representatives. J. M. CALHOUN, President of the Senate. Approved 6th February, 1868. A. B. Mooke. British Railway Revenuea. Some very curious and valuable tables have recently been published in England, by Mr. Ilaoket. According to these, it appears that tho revenue of the railways of the United Kingdom, in 1857, was no leas than twenty-four million pounds.— The capital of these lines is about three hundred million pounds. The railway profits for the last year must have been about thirteen million pounds, or about four per cent, or the total capital; but from a considerable portion of the three hundred million pounds capital being in loans and preference shares at a rate of interest averaging more than tho per centage of profits, the average dividend is about throe aud a half per centum per annum. - 1 ■ , - 1 “ j tIKCDLAR FOR EUROPE. (PER CANADA.) New Yoiik, Feb. 9, 1858. Thu receipts of the Arabia’s advicea, announcing a farthing advance in the Liverpool Cotton Market, when a decline of at least that extent was looked for, very naturally caused considerable excite ment in our market, and many holders at once withdrew their Cotton from sale ; others, however, not being so well able to hold on, offered their supplies at Ic. advance, which was paid yesterday for 800 bales, the market closing stiff at 11J cents for Middling Uplands, aud 11J for Middling Orleans. The market may be said, now, to be in a more settled and healthy condition than at any previous time during the present season, and there is scarcely a doubt but what its future will be upward. In fact, with deliveries of not over 2,700,000 bales, there are parties here who confidently predict that the staple will attain a figure, before the summer is over, that has never yet been reached, and, in anticipation of this, purchases for investment are daily being made. These parties look upon Cotton ns safer than either business, paper or stocks, and hence the risks they are willing to incur. It is truo, tho deliveries may exceed “Twenty Seven,” but the appearances are strong that the excess cannot be such ns to materially check the upward tendency that seems inevitable. Even the most strenuous advocates, a month back, of “Thirty-Two,” have taken in sail very materially since then, nnd they now admit that the chances arc against any such amount, or even three millions. One chief object of these parties was to break down the market abroad, and cause a re-action here to 7c. for Middling, at which they would purchase largely on speculation, but, all their efforts having failed, they now, though somewhat unwillingly, own up to what appears the naked truth, and reduce their figures from a quarter to a. half million bales. Flour and wheat are generally un changed, while corn rules firm, with fair export dcninud, at GO to 07 for White Southern. Tho Stock market continues very firm, but the demand appears to be running more on reliable dividend paying securi ties, such as Stato stocks, aud first-cluss Railways. The sales of Panama Rail Road have been very large, and the quo tation is nearly up to par. Three years since it sold at, 140, nnd its dividends have never been under 12 per cent. Iu Money there is no new feature.— .Sterling is hardly so firm, and the best bills cun be bought at !)J per cent. Com mercial bills arc plenty, and offered at 8.1 to !). Francs aro of. 16| to of. 121. Freights are firm at 3-1 G for Cotton to Liverpool, and Ac. to Havre. Flour to the former port is Is. 10 to 25., and Grain in bags 51 to 6d. The Bank Statement shows an increase in the loans, to the amount of one and a half million, and a decrease in the bullion reserve of SOOO,OOO, which, considering the export of specie last week, reached $3,000,000, is quite a favorable showing. Another California Steamer is due on Thursday, with probably a million and a half. The Southern Mail is to hand as lato as due. and our telegraghic advices from New Orleans are up to yesterday, Bth. The Atlantic will not sail on Saturday, 13th, although advertised to do so, and it is quite uncertain when nnother vessel of this line will be dispatched. The next steamer hence, therefore, will bo the Arabia, on the 17th. Very respectfully, F. A. A. P. S., 4 p. m.—The Cotton market has been very animated to day, and prices are again Jo. higher, with sales of 3,000 bales 1 now quote : Middling Uplands 111 Middling Mobile 11 J. Middling Orleans 11J-. For the Daily Sun. Messrs. Editors: Will you kindly allow a few remarks to be made through your valuable columns in behalf of an humble, though useful auxiliary to the Fire De partment of our city ? Inasmuch as there are not white men enough willing to per form the arduous labors devolving upon firemen, the City Council agree to allow to each Engine company a certain num ber of negroes to assist in working the Engines. This being a voluntary service, and often a very laborious and long con tinued one, the negroes are allowed as an inducement, tho enormous sum of fifty cents !for each tiro at which they are in service. And this pittance it is urged upon Council to refuse, on the ground that the magnitude of tho sum would in duce the negroes to set fire to a building in order that they may receive it. The objection, wo think, is unjust, un generous aud illiberal, us will appear to any otto taking the trouble to examine the facts. At most of the fires the En gines arc plnced at such a distance from the scene of action that those working at them are without a view of the fire. — Only the white members who have charge of the pipes, aud perform other necessa ry dutios, arc permitted to remain on the ground ; and a largo proportion of the fires occur at points beyond reach of the water supplied to the Engines, in which event, though tho negroes may labor to drag the Engines to the sceue, they re ceive no compensation ; but at all fires, no matter iu what part of the city they may occur, may bo found a large number of individuals standing quietly by, with hands in their pockets, viewing from fa vorable points the scene of coufiagratiou, offering no assistance, refusing to lay a hand to the Engines when entreated to do so, but seeming to look upon a fire as a show gotten up for their especial amuse ment. Is it not much more natural and probable that the incendiary sltould be found among this class than among those who are straining every nerve to subduo the fiarncs, often located at a tank quito out of view of the scene of the fire? Aud should not tho fact, that while at many fires the negroesj-occive nothing, tho class abovo alluded to are found at all enjoying the sceuo with groat apparent gusto, at least argue that suspicion should be first directed to the latter, and that the apparent enjoyment of tho sccno # is j certainly greater than the possible at- | tractive power of tho half dollar- to the negro firemen laboring at a distance from the scene ? Among those who urge this absurd charge may be found some of the princi- j pal property owners of tho city, and if they really think as they say, why do 1 they not come forward and put their own hands to tho work (in which case the'cr vices of the negroes would not be requii - j cd) ? If they refuse to do this, let th’in cease from henceforth this unfoun ! J and totally gratuitous abuse of those wlu willingly perform duties from which these grumblers stand aloof. It.

Arrival of the Empire City. New Oai.eaxs, (via Washington,) Fob. 12.—The steamship Empire City, from Havana, has arrived, with California dates to the 20th January.

New York, Feb. 12.—1n the New York Legislature at Albany to-day, a bill was i introduced to incorporate the Central American Industrial Emigration Society, with a capital of three hundred thousand dollars. Washington Affairs. Washington, Feb. 11.—The Senate was not in session. In the House, an in ; effectual attempt was made to introduce a resolution to investigate the charges in the New York Tribune, implying an at i tempt to influence the votes of members j by the influence of the Executive Depart i ment. Considerable excitement exists. The Southern Direct Trade. We have already reported, in general terms, the suocess of the negotiations undertaken by Hon. W. Ballard Preston, of Virginia, to establish a steam line be tween Norfolk, Va., and a port of France. ; The Norfolk Argus gives tho following particulars and details of the project: Arrangements have been made with one of the wealthiest corporations in Eu rope, the Paris and Orleans Rail Road Company, to put four of its steamers in the trade between the city of Norfolk, in Virginia, ami Nantes, near the mouth of the Loire river, and there connect with the railway passing through Angiers, and thence to Orleans. One of the most important points con nected with a direct trade from Norfolk to Europe, is the warehousing system of tho United States. Under that system goods can be retained in the warehouses without paying duties for twelve months, but the Southern merchant, on buying those goods, has to pay the duties; the importer having that privilege has six per cent, advantage over Southern mer chants. If we had a direct trade port ourselves, we would have a share of the advantages of the warehousing system. We should also have inlaud custom houses. The State of Maine, with a popu lation of GOO,OOO, has eight custom houses; the Stale of Massachusetts, with a population of 1,000,000, has nine; and the State id’ Virginia, with 1,500,000 in habitants, lias only five custom houses.—• By rendering it necessary for the South to have these inland custom houses, the merchants of the South could save this six per cent, which now goes into the pockets of the merchants of the North. Editors Sun : In passing over the Muscogee Iluil Road a few days since I, with a number of other passengers, were sadly disappointed at not finding the Breakfast llmisc witn our worthy old host, Uncle Sain, a* it formerly was; but to the contra ry, were compelled to wait till we arrived in Co lumbus, which was an unusually lato hour for breakfast. We call your attention to this, because wo thiuk it would give more general satisfaction to have breakfast a little earlier. Feb. 15-1 tp ALABAMIAN.

February 13—fit WOOD’S IIAIH RESTORATIVE.—This wonder ful preparation is having an extensive sale in all parts of the Union. It is one of the few patent medicines which are now sold over the country, that are really what their inventors claim for them. Wherever it has had a fair trial, the result has been precisely as Wood predicts. It has never failed to turn the white liair back to the natural color, where the directions have been strictly fol lowed aud in numerous cases it has restored the hair upon heads that had been bald for years. It i< not pretended that it will make the hair grow in every case, hut w here it fails there is certainly no remedy. The restoration of the hair has been effected in so many instances where the case seemed utterly hopeless,that it is certainly worth while for all who have lost their hair to try the experiment of using a btttle or two of Wood’s Restorative.— Moline Workman.

Feb. 14-2 w HOSTETTER. —The surprising effects of Hos tetter’s Vegetable Stomach Bitters in removing bile, forcing an appetite, imparting health aud tone to the system, and dissipating dyspeptic symptoms, is truly wonderful. Every nervous, debilitated, weak and amaciated person, male or female, should try it at once. One wine-glassful taken three times each day, before meals, or if the patient should be a lady or child in a debilitated condition, half the quantity will do until sufficient strength is restored, which will be realized in a very short time, and convince the patient of the truth of the above-named happy results, which have gained for these Bilters such an enviable reputation everywhere.
