No particulars are Wo learn from tho Savannah papers that the Ilourd of Directors of the Bank of the State of Georgia, of that city, have declared a dividend of four dollars per share on the operations of that Hank for the past six months. Tho State Department at Washington has information from the United States Consul at mauilla of I lie issue ot a de cree, on the 6th of February last, by the government of Philippine Islands, per mitting the importation of paddy, rice, wheat, flour, and cocoa-nut oil, during the present year, free of duty, front all quarters, and by vessels of all nations. - ♦ A letter in the New Vork Times, dated Hong Kong, February 5, states that Com modern Armstrong had left for tho United States, and that Commodore Tatnall had assumed command of the United States, squadron. The Mississippi lmd been or dered to Whampoa. The Minnesota, San Jacinto, and Portsmouth, were at Hong Kontf, but the two latter would proceed to Manilla in a short time. Mr. Heed had chartered the American steamer An telope to take him to Shnnghac, and was to pay her $5,000 per mouth for six months. The Suai|lielimini, We learn from the New Vork papers that the steamer Arctic lays near the U. H. frigate Susquehanna, in the lower bay, to protect her while riding out the quar antine. Capt. Sands and the remaining officers aud men went up to the quaren tine enclosure on Thursday. The names of all the men of the Susquehanna who hava or may die will bo reported to tlm Fourth Auditor at Washington, with memoranda of their eft'oets, and the amount due ouch at tho time of his death. The friends of the deceased can obtain these by taking out letters of administra and making application as above. DUnatrous Fire. We are sorry to say that the large Fur niture Factory, on Cherry street, belong ing to B. F. ltoss, Ksq., and carried on, we think, by Boss & Moll, was totally destroyed by fire this morning, says the Macou Telegraph of the 26tli inst. The fire was discovered about two o’clock, in the second story of the building, and had made too great progress before the en gines reached the spot, to be arrested.— The destruction wus nearly total—very little either of stock or tools and machi nery being saved, utid the whole, as we regret to hear, uninsured. What is still worse, there can bo little doubt it was the work of an incendiary. There had been no fire in the building since Wednesday, as we have beeu told. It was a three story brick edifice, with an excellent steam engine—a large amount of tools and machinery, stock and material. l>st r from Venezuela* Later nows has been received from Venezuela, by an arrival at New York, bringing Puerto Cabello pupers to the 20th, and Caracas dates to the 01st till. Former adviees as to the overthrow of Monagas are fully confirmed, aud tho peoplo were clamoring loudly for his ban ishment or execution. The robberies of tho public treasury alleged to have been perpetrated by the Montngas brothers ami their partisans, amount to the enormous sum of $17,240,000. The Diplomatic Corps had takeu the brothers uuiler their joint protection after the overthrow, but the Provisional Government protested against the proceeding, aud finally took them by force from the ministers aud put thorn in prison. All the foreign repre sontatives had rendered themselves so obuoxious by their course in the matter, that it was thought probable their pass ports would he sent to them. Suicide In Augusta. We learn from the Augusta Dispatch that Mr. Wm. T. Ingram, a well known merchant of that city, committed suicide in his room on Sunday last, by shoot ing himself through the heart with a pistol. The deed is supposed to have been committed between 1(1 and 11 o’clock on Sunday morning, but was not discov ered until about 10 o’clock that night.— He was with his frieuds iu the morning, aud appeared iu his usual spirits, but about 10 o'clock that moruing he com plained of feeliug a little unwell, aud went to his room for the purpose of lying down, and not going to his dinner or bis supper, his frieuds became alarmed for him, and bursting into his room they found him a lifeless corpse, the fatal pis tol lying in the angle of his left arm, over the heart, l’ecuuiary embarrassment is the only conceivable cause for the rash act, as he was universally respected by all who knew him. lie was about 46 years of age, a native of Connecticut, where be has a mother and other relatives still living. The Coroner's inquest, held ou the body on Sunday night, elicited the above facts. Henry Alien, a negro preacher, of Lexington, Virginia, has been arrested for receiving SI2OO, lost by Mr. Glendi, last fall, and found by Davy, slave of Thomas Kerr. Davy placed the money in the preacher's hands for safe keeping, but that worthy made use of it to buy hi* own freedom and set up a team ou the street. He has been sent to prison for trial. Purchase of Modii* Vernon. John A. Washington, Firq., owner of Mount Vernon, has contracted to convey j it to the Ladies’ Mount Vernon Association on their compliance with the following terms : The payment of two hundred thousand dollars for two hundred acres of land, including the mansion and landing place, and, above all, the tomb. Eighteen thousand dollars to be paid on closing I the conlruct. and the remainder of the sum, in four bonds, payable in yearly instalments, with the permission, after payment of the first bond, to pay to Mr. Washington any amount of the balance due, in sums of not less than $5,000, which sums will he credited to the ussi ciatiou, in this manner lessoning the interest. The title to the estate and possc“Hion to be given on payment of the principal and interest, and the privilege also granted of obtaining possession, on thirtydays’ notice, at any time the association may be ready to furnish the entire purchase money. A pretty good trade that, on the part of Mr. John A. Washington, we should say. Two hundred thousand dollars for two hundred acres of land, and most of it worn out at that, will do pretty well! Apart from its being tho tomb of the immortal Washington, we do not suppose the whole estate is worth intrinsically fifty thousand dollars. So Mr. John A. Washington has turned the name and fame of his illustrious kinsman* to good account, and lias feathered his nest most handsomely out of them. The terms, too, arc so liberal-over tho left. Shylock himself could not have been more exacting The Association should stipulate in the contract of purchase, that Mr. John A. Washington should have his name changed tot hat of Shylock, us wo Consider it perfectly sucrcligious for suclt a man to hear the sacred name of Washington. * Professional Jurymen. We clip tlie following paragraph from the Washington Union: A legal gentleman suggested that one cause of the curious verdicts often given in our criminal courts, is the presence of men on tho juries who make a regular practice of hanging about the City Hall, and standing in readiness to act as tales men. A judge in Chicago recently told several of (his class of gentlemen that they hud “well earned their reputation as professional jurymen, and also a suffi cient amount of wages to enable them to retire into private life. He wished for their services no longer. Their faces had become too familiar in the court room, and lie had no doubt, that tho pub lic aud persons having business before the court, us well as himself, would be but too happy to dispense with their ser vices.” Then turning to the sheriff, the judge said: “Mr. Sheriff', if I find the jury composed of these professional gen tlemen, 1 will immediately order its dis charge.” l’ei haps the example might be followed in this district. Yes, and in this couuty, too. At every Court there are men hanging round the Court ITouso from the time Court opens till it closes, for the purpose of being taken as Jurors. Asa matter of course, these men are generally trifling and worthless, and from the want of mental ability are incapable of giving a just ver dict iu anything like a difficult case, even if they have the honesty to desire to do so. We would suggest, therefore, to our very worthy Sheriff, that at the approach ing term of tho Court, he tuke no man upon any jury whom he finds loafing about the Court House for that purpose. Donnl lon of I'lilillc Lands. The hill donating lands to the several States for the benefit of agricultural and and mechanic arts which passed the House of Representatives on Thursday last, grants six millions three hundred and forty thousand acres of land to be appor tioned to each State, equal to 20,000 acres for each Senator and Representative in Congress to which the States are now re spectively entitled. The proceeds of the sales of the lands to be invested iu stocks of the United States or of the States, or some other safe stocks, the money so in vested to he constituted a perpetual fund, the interest of which shall be inviolably appropriated by such State to the endow ment, support and maintenance of at least one college, where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scien tific or classical studies, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the Legislature of the State may prescribe, in order to promote the literal and practical oduention of the in dustriul ehissses in the several pursuits and professions of life. + Interest Law of Pennsylvania, The Pennsylvania Legislature have passed, finally, the bill relative to rates of interest. It goes into operation from and after the 4th of July next, and estab lishes the rate at six percent, per aiiuuni, where no express contract is made to the contrary. Where a higher rate than six percent, is agreed on, the aid of law is withheld from the lender for the collection of the excess or usury: but where the usury is paid by the borrower, the aid of law is likewise withheld from him for tho recovery of it back, uuless suit for the same is commenced withiu six months. lu cases whore usury is takeu iu advance, the borrower has the right to deduct and withhold the amount paid above six per cent., in tho payment of the principal. Tho new law, in effect, ignores usury altogether—leaving it an open question of honor between parties, while it protects the property of the lender, ami aids him ! iu the collection of his principal nud six | per cent, per annum of interest. e Legalized Etlll bust era. The New York Company formed for promoting colonization and commerce in Central America, have lately obtained from the New York Assembly a very liberal charter. The capital of tho com pany is $600,000. They have held a preliminary meeting, nnd are soon to be organized. They have already established a small colony on the bay of Forseca, a very commanding situation for trade. It is by such agencies that Central America is to be regenerated and Americanized, | and we may add “Abolitionized.” i BY TELEGRAPH AND MAIL. T. (. graphed to tin- Auguatn j><-bh. Congressional. Washington, April 20.—1n the Senate to-day Kansas nffairs were discussed. In the House the Kansas question was postponed until Wednesday. The House refused to agree to the Senate’s amendment to the deficiency j bill. [second dispatch.] Washington, April 20, p. in.—The Sen ate has adjourned without taking any ac tion on the Kansas bill. The matter will bo up again to morrow, hut the vote will not probably be taken until the latter part of the week. Gen. Walker’s Trial. New Orleans, April 20.— Gen. William Walker’s trial has been postponed until the 4th Monday in May. From Texas. We received yesterday Galveston papers of the 17th instant. A recent traveler in Northern Texas, mentions as a natural curiosity in the valley at the foot of the Canadian uioun tain, “a large bed of natural brick, which are about three times tho si/.e of ordinary brick, and arc as perfect us thougli they had been manufactured in the best ar ranged brick kiln in the country. Tho Texan learns that much damage Ims been done in some parts of the coun try around San Antonio by the grass hoppers. The Trinity is so high as to cover all the bottom lands about Liberty. The Gazette says that on the North and South sides of the town the water is swimming in all the low places. The Goliad Express learns from a gen tleman residing in Karnes county, that his entire crop of corn, cotton and wheat had been all destroyed by the grasshop pers. He states that he had eighty acres in corn, fully knee high, all of which was eaten to the ground in two days. The Gonzales Inquirer of the 10th has considerable to say about the grasshop pers, and gives an amusing account of their invasion of that city, and the at tempt of the citizens to resist tho en croachment. Everybody turned out— men, women and children, white and black, little r.iyycrs and chickens, editors and devils —everybody, with “lire and sword,” brushes and brooms, blankets and buckets, carried on the deadly con flict, but all to no avail; the hoppers hopped on, and tho defending forces were obliged to beat an inglorious retreat, leaving the barbarians in undisturbed possession of the conquered city. —— ♦- For the Daily Sun. Smypathy Him., April 2U. Mr. Editor: Your paper of the , contained the complaints of a dashy wid ower, relative to the idle gossip, the winks and blinks, and the cold frowns of the world, on the conduct of that unfor tunate class to which lie belongs. But it is natural for us to differ ou every matter presented for consideration, therefore, while 1 protest as strenuously as he does against the injustice of the conduct afore said, 1 must also object to one or two po sitions that may be inferred from his article of complaints. 1 raise this objec tion because 1 do not wisli to have it un derstood by every class of readers that all widowers make themselves liable to the severe censures which he seems to have received. And yet the article of your correspondent makes no exceptions iu favor of any, but considers his own case an equitable criterion by which to judge the condition of all. Allow me to object to this position at the start, and then briefly glance at tho conduct of the censor and tho censured. 1. People will talk upon some topic, and there are few more natural than that of the conduct of acquaintances—their appearance, dress, &c. l!y common con sent these have become allowable themes for all parties and associations of indi viduals, whether in companies of two or twcuty ; and if the writer of the commu nication to which 1 am replying, has not himself engaged in it before, lie lias eer tainly done so now, to a considerable de gree, iu his published complaints. Has not the public an equal right to express its opinion of his gallantry and courteous deportment to the ladies, as ho to censure others for their criticisms on his behav ior? If not, then the spirit of modern politeness to the fair sex will die a natu ral death speedily, for I consider that full half of it—among the young particularly —is based upon the vain desire to show how much more easily they can make themselves agreeable to the opposite sex than their competitors can. The agreea bleuess of this, the excellent company of that young man, becomes the talk of all the fair, and the fortunate chap at once finds himself, more by tattle than any other cause, extensively popular with all the ladies, without a spark of tine love for any. Your widower, if desirous of continuing his kind attentions to single ladies generally, should lake hint from this, and despite the frowns of the envi ous, or the censures of the morose, he will soon find himself on the high road to happiness. 2. But has your correspondent yet to learn who compose a goodly part of the class of which ho complains? Are gen tlemen the only ones who take unfortu nates like himself to task, because of their forwardness in gallantry ? 1 think if lie could trace the matter to the bot tom, lie would find the censorious belong as much to one sex as to tho other; and tho very ones to whom he is as courteous are not behind many of their co-laborers iu tho work of criticisms on such matters as lie refers to. But these criticisms are innocent and harmless, and should have little weight iu determining his course of conduct. Or, if they are of so much im portance, and have such u depressing in fluence on his mini, it would be politic in him to forego, for a suitable season, the luxury of all such company, and thereby escape much of the ungrateful treatment of which ho now complains. His lot is lonely at best; but the frowns uni cen sure of the world, with the ingratitude and deception he meets ut almost every point, more than offsets the dreariness of the condition in which Providence lias | placed him. This the opinion, this the experience of one who, much longer than i himself, has been ONE OF THE LONELY. —— 4®-The ••Elixir,” prepared by Dr. James Wil liams, for the cure of Dvspbpsy, and nothin? but Dyspetby, (M advertised in another column. > ha*, by its own merits, obtained for itself so hit h a reputation in Philadelphia, that Physiciuio ac quainted with its properties, are using it t ! • in* solves and prescribing it to tluir patients • u vlnced, by observation, of its great cflieaey in re storing the disordered digestive organs t> a healthy function.

Apt il 2*>, 1858-tit Halt* Restorative.—Every one will, wi think, agree with us in the opinion that the human hair is the greatest natural ornament that is pos sessed either by a gentleman or a lady. Just meet an apparently good looking man, for instance, in the street; you admire his features, whiskers and general bearing; but lo! he lifts his hat iu recog nition of your bow, nnd the charm lias vanished, for Ichabod is wiitten ou bis bald head, and the j glory has departed with the flowing locks that j once flourished luxuriantly there. In the case of a lady, the matter in, it possible, worse—such cases reminding one of the circumstance on w hich the following epigram is founded: *‘o! give me, fair Emma, a lock of your hair,” A bashful young lover took courage and sighed: ‘•’Twasasin to refuse such a modest request— So take the whole, wig” the dear creature replied. Now, to prevent such a catastrophe, is within the power of every lady and gentleman; for by using Prof. Wood’s Jlair Restorative, hair is not only prevented from falling off or turning gray, but the article will r jstore hair to bald places, and even if it has changed color and become gray, it will bring it back to its pristine beauty and luxu riance. Those who are acquainted with the anato my, physiology and pathology of the hair, must be well aware that certain substances have specific action upon it ami it is by a judicious combination of these that Prof. Wood has succeeded in com pounding a mixture possessed of remarkable vir tues.— Wavetly Magazine and Lib rary Gazette.

April *24-2w - Notice.—Wo have been informed that several unprincipled parties have, for some time past, been refilling our empty bottles with a spurious article, and retailing it to their customers as tlie genuine Hostettcr Hitters.

We would also earnestly caution you to examine well the bottle before purchasing, as in different parts of the Union several worthless preparations are gotten up with the evident de sign of being palmed off as our Hitters, having a similar bottle and label, and the directions, etc., takeu off verbatim, save the omittance of Dr. J.

For sale in Columbus, Ga., at the Drug Store of april26-2w PEMBERTON, NUCKOLLS & CO.— Friends of Humanity.—-To you (always J disposed to aid tlie suffering) it may appear in credible, after in vain trying all the “wonderful'’ medicines of the day, that one application exter nally, and a few drops taken internally, of my (genuine) “Electric Oil,” will so very suddenly relieve.the suffei it from the most violent pains; yet it is a fact, as testified to by good men and good women, whose names are at my otlice. Not any have used it without deriving some special benefit withiu an hour, and many are they who have been perfectly cured of Rheuma tism, Neuralgia. Spinal amt Bronchial Complaints, Croup, Tic Doloreux, Felons, Cramps, Bruises aud Sprains, Files. Cu!s ami Wounds, Swelled Glands and Stiff Joints.

Chilblains and Sore or Tender feet. It will be seen that I do not profess to cure every thing, but only a certain class of complaints; all of which are cusnide on simple Electric and Chemi cal principles, through the affinities of my “Elec tric Oil,” and the Ncrvo-vital Fluid of the human body. The modus opcrandl of progressing ami ever changeable Rheumatic pain, is imperfectly under stood by mankind, whether its location is the mefabrane or covering of the nerves, inllumed by derangement, (like tho coating of an inflamed stomach,) or some disturbance of the electric fluid itself; certain it is that my “Electric Oil” is readi ly absorbed into, it it does not actually supply a needed deficiency in, aud equalizes the circulation of that great principle of human organization. Let the skeptical and the humane look iuto this matter—for if these are so, at] are alike interested. 1 will take any case from tlie hospital to test it for all. My “Electric Oil” is pleasant and innocent; no danger of cold or re-action,” as all will In ur me witness. Prof. CIIAS. DeQRATIL l’rice 50 cents and #1 per bottle. For sale in Columbus, Gu., by D.
