Free Scholarship in the Georgia State College.—Fifty young men, says the Macon Telegraph, will be re ceived into the Agricultural College in the order that they apply, without regard to county lines. This is a rare opportunity for ambitious youths who are short of funds, and we doubt not the responses will flow in rapidly. Mysterious Influences.—Persons sometimes feel remarkably well—the appetite is vigorous, eating is a joy, digestion vigorous, sleep sound, with an alacrity of body and an exhilara tion of spirits which altogether throw a charm over life that makes us pleas ed with every body and every thing. Next week, to morrow, in an hour, a marvelous change comes over the spirit of the dream : the sunshine has gone, clouds portend, darkness covers the face of the great deep, and the whole man, body and soul wilts away like a flower without water in mid-sum mer. When the weather is cool and clear and bracing, the atmosphere is full of electricity ; when it is sultry and moist and without sunshine, it holds but a small amount of electricity compara tively speaking, and we have to give up what little we have, moisture be ing a good conductor ; thus, in giving, up, instead of receiving more, as we Would from the cool, pure air, the change is too great, and the whole man languishes. Many become uneasy un der these circumstances; ‘"they can’t account for it,” they imagine that evil is impending, and resort at once to tonics and stimulants. The tonics on ly increase the appetite, without im parting any additional power to work up the additional food, thus giving the system more work to dc instead ot less. Stimulants seem to give more strength ; they wake up the circula tion, but it is only temporary, and un less a new supply is soon taken, the Bystem runs farther down than it would have done without the stimulant; hence it is a worse condition than if none had been taken. The better course would be to rest, take nothing but cooling fruits and berries and mel- lons, and some acid drink when thirsty, adding it desired, some cold bread and butter; the very next morning will bring a welcome change. The School ot Journalism in Yale College numbers sixty pupils. Brevity.—Not. that which is much is well, but that which is well is much. In New York there is one death each year to every eighty-two peo ple. There are S2.000 postofrices in the United States. Five hundred are kept by women. Boston is the second sugar market in the United States. The Rhode Island people mind their own business. A man can have four wives in that State and live with them four years before being found Out. ted States against the Bashaw of Tri poli in 1604. after several vigorous at tacks, some of which were successful, had been made upon his flotilla beiorff the port of his capital, the Tripolitans became so much intimidated that they no longer ventured outside the haven. Commodore Preble therefore conceiv ed a plan for making an assault upon their shipping inside the harbor. He resolved to send a fire-ship, or “infer nal,” which he had long contemplated, which was to be exploded among the Tripolitan vessels, by which Com. Pre ble not only hoped to destroy the en emy’s shipping but he trusted would shatter the Bashaw’s castle, in which some of the American prisoners were confined, and otherwise damage the the capital city of Tripoli. The ketch Intrepid, which had ren dered such signal service on the recent burning of the Philadelphia, was brought into requisition fur this dan gerous enterprise. A small apart ment was planked up in ht^r hold, just forward ot the mainmast, and in this receptacle about ©ne hundred barrels of powJer in bulk, estimated at 15,- 000 pounds, were poured. Commu nicating with this room was a tube thut led aft to another apartment, which was filled with combustible material. Oh the deck, directly over the mag azine, were deposited fifty thir- teen-and-a-half inch and one hundred nine-inch shells, with a great quantity of shot and pieces of iron kentledge. A train wa^ then run through the tube from the magazine to the after-room, and fusees, calculated to hum fifteen minutes, w T ere connected with it in the proper way. The burning of the light- wood and splinters in the forward room, it was supposed, would keep the Tripolitans from boarding the ves sel, for fear she was a fire-ship. Lieut: Richard Somers, of the schooner Nautilus, volunteered for the expedition ; and he, with Lieuts. Wads worth and Israel, was engaged several days in preparing this floating mine. It was determined that the Intrepid should enter the fort the first dark night, proceed as far as possible into the galley mole—the inner harbor— there to start a fire in the splinter- room, when her people were to retreat to the American squadron in swift rowing boats. The enterprise was indeed danger ous. The adventurers had to enter a passage but 200 or 300 yards wide, on a dark night, in a slow sailing ves sel, near to and under the guns of sev eral batteries, which would only be prevented from firing upon them by mistaking their vessel for one that was endeavoring to run the American blockade. As they advanced they would be enfiladed by the galleys and gunboats of the enemy, whilst a can nonade alone upon a vessel filled with powder would be dangerous of itself, us the concussion of a cannon-ball with a nail or any other piece of iron might strike fire and ignite the pow der. Once successful in the main ob jects of the expedition, the retreat had its dangers; whilst capping the whole, Cooper remarks, the enterprise was “one in which no quarter could be expected.” But few were needed to make up the Intrepid's complement. Several officers volunteered for this service. One of them, Lieut. Wadsworth of the Constitution, was taken as second ia command. Lieut. Jos. Israel was a voluuteer, whose services however were refused, as the Commodore did not believe his assistance was necessa ry. Two swift rowing boats, one the Constitution's, pulling six oars, and the other the Siren's, pulling four, were selected to bring the party off after the train had been fired. The crew of the Nautilus was informed of the pro ject, and every man volunteered to go. Of them the following four were se lected:—James Simms, Thomas Tomp- line, James Harris, and Wm. Keith, all rated as seamen. It is believed the following six, from the Constitution, were selected by Lieut. Wadsworth: Wm Harrison, Robt. Clark, Hugh Mc Cormick, Jacob Williams, Peter Fen ner, and Isaac W. Downs. All these were seamen also. A number of interviews took place between Com. Preble and Lieut. Som ers during the preparation for the en terprise. On one of these occasions the Commodore burnt a port-fire to as certain its time of explosion. When consumed, he inquired of Lieut. Som ers if he thought the boats could get away from the reach of shells during the brief period it was burning. “I think we can, sir,” replied Somers. Com. Preble fixed his eye closely up on the young officer a moment, and then asked should he lessen the time or make the port-fire shorter. “I ask for no port-fire at all sir,” Somers an swered quietly, but firmly. After this interview Somers declared his inten tion not to be captured. All the cir cumstances connected with the enter prise tended to strengthen this deter mination on the part of the two young officers who were to take the Intrepid in. Com. Preble feeling it to be a duty, pointed out to Lieut. Somers the importance of not permitting so large a quantity of powder to lait into the hands of the Tripolitans, who were supposed to be in want of ammunition, whilst an exaggerated idea ot the hor rors of Tripolitan captivity had gained credence in the American squadron. Somers and Wadsworth were both calm aud quiet persons—men whose simple declaration to perforin any act was the guaranty of its execution, if accomplishment were possible, and the mere publication of their intentions seems to have made a profound im pression upon their comrades. One or two efforts were made to get into the harbor, but they tailed, owing to the light winds. Certain movements being noticed that made Lieut. Somers believe the Intrepid was suspected, he determined to enter the harbor, on the night of the 4th of September. The appointed day ar rived. Before leaving his vessel, the Nautilus Lient. Somers explained to the four men he had chosen from it, the dangerous nature of the expedition upon which they were bound. He informed them he desired no man to go in with him who did not prefer death to capture; such, he said, was his own determination, and he wanted all who accompanied him to be of the same mind. Three cheers from the boats’s crew was the reply he received, and, it is reported, each man separate ly asked to be the one to apply the match to fhe train! Such was the spirit of the infant marine. Somers took leave of his fellow-offi cers, the four seamen doing the same, shaking their hands, and giving vent to theii feelings in premonitions of ap proaching doom. This was done iq good faith, and yet with cheerfulness. No enterprise, however dangerous, had been undertaken in the squadron that started upon its mission with so many forebodings of impending evil. The four seamen from the Nautilus disposed of their effects orally to their associates, “like those who are about to die with disease.” It would appear the Constitution's boat did not reach the Intrepid until dusk. When that crew was muster ed, Lieut. Israel was found among the party. It is asserted he secreted him self in the boat to take part in the ex pedition, while on the other hand it is affirmed he came with a final order from Com. Preble to Lieut. Somers. Lieuts. Stewart and Decatur, with others of Somers’ friends, visited him aboard of the Intrepid before he weigh ed anchor. These three were about the same age, bad all been insrructed in seamauship together, and had been “intimately associated in the service during the last six years.” Stewart and Decatur knew the dangers that attended the expedition, and they felt i deep concern for the fate of -their riend. Somers was grave but tran quil. Conversing lor a while, he took from his finger a ring, which he broke i-ito three pieces; to his two friends to gave each a piece, and retained one pirt for himself. As uight closed in, three gunboats wtre observed just within the western paisage of the harbor, through which the Intrepid had to pass. Decatur waned his friend to take care that they did not board him. Somers re plied that the enemy had become so shy, he thought it more likely'that they would cut and run rather than advarce to meet him. At eight o’clock the night was far enough advanced to cover the move ment,when the Intrepid weighed an chor. The stars shone overhead, but upon he water there hung a haze that rendered objects uncertain—favorable circumstances for the enterprise, for while i: would prevent the character of the Intrepid being easily made out, there was light enough to enable the ketch tt steer clear of the rocks. The Argus, Viren, and Nautilus stood in with tht Intrepid, all sailing with a light but fair easterly wind. The li6t man to leave the Intrepid was Lieut. Washington Heed. It was near nine o’clock when he did. At that hour “all was propitious. The good-byes between the officers were serious acd affectionate; Somers was calm but cheerful, while the common men seemed in high spirits.” The Vixen and the Argus stopped a little distaice from the rocks, to at tack the enmiy’s galleys or gunboats should they attempt to follow Lieut. Somers out upou his retreat. The Nautilus lestened her sail and advanc ed with the Intrepid as close in as was thought safe, with the special duty of bringing off the two boats in the re treat. Midshipman Ridgely, of the Nautilus, directed by Iieut. Reed, fastened his eye through a night-glass upon the lntiepid. This young officer was, probably, the ast person in the Amer- c in fleet who saw the Intrepid. To the last, it is (bought, the ketch was advancing, thoigh distance and dark ness render the fact uncertain. Ordered by Com. Preble, the Siren had followed tht other vessels in to ward the harbor, keeping, however, more in the offeg than they. In al most breathless silence, every eye was fixed upon the western entrance and the inner harbor. A brief time pass ed, when the slowly booming caunon of the enemy’s learest batteries told them that the litrepid had been dis covered. It was tow near ten o’clock. Capt. Stewart ant Lieut. Carrol were in the Sireu's gingway, with their eyes riveted upon the point where the Intrepid was known to be, when the Lieutenant exclaimed, “ Look, see the light!” At that moment a light, moving and waving as though a lan tern were carried lurriedly along the deck of a vessel, wis observed; then it sank from sight A half minute inay have passed, when suddenly the harbor shone with mtridian brilliancy ; the firmament flamtd with a fiery glow that paled the o'erhanging stars; earth, sea, and heavet were shaken in an awful couvulsion ; a burning mast, with its sails and a troken hull shot upward iu the air; a fity rocked, tur rets trembled ; whilst bursting shells mingled their shrieks with the cries of the terrified Tripolitans. Darkness and silence, as profound as the tomb itself, succeeded. The fact that the htrepid bad ex ploded before she reacted her destina tion, and before the spltiter room had been lighted, gave just (rounds to ap prehend the worst; but it was hard to believe that they wife whom they had only a brief while before parted from in full life and sfirits, had so suddenly come to so feaful a death. The explosion and its horrid accom paniments lasted less thau a minute. Every eye was now engaged to per ceive an expected signal, but ia vain. The Nautilus displayed her lights to guide the retreating boats to her side, and throughout the dreary hours of that mournful uight every ear and every f eye was painfully strained to catch some sound or sight of the re turning adventurers. Officers and crew bent over the hammock-cloths, anxiously looking toward the scene of explosion, whilst others suspended themselves from the sides of the ship, with lanterns levelled to the surface of the water, in the hope that the glancing beams would the quicker dis cover the objects of their earnest search. Iu the silence and darkness of that dismal night the eager watch ers were easily deceived, and often imagined that they beheld the forms of approaching boats aud glanciug oars, or heard the distant jar of the thumping oar in the creaking row- lock. The deepest sound that broke the silence of the gloomy hours or pierced its dismal darkness, was the Constitution's booming gun, that ineas- uredly fired,; moaned the requiem of the heroic braves who were never to return to their comrades again, or the fiery flash of the shooting rocket that fitly emblematised the fate of the un fortunate Intrepid. Morning dawned, and hope became despair. The Argus, Vixen and Nau tilus had hovered around the entrance of the harbor until sunrise, when they had a fair view of the fort. Not a vestige of the ketch or boats was to be seen ; but Com. Preble in his offi cial letter states that one of the ene my’s largest boats was missing, and three others were observed very much shattered and damaged, which the Tripolitans were hauling on shore; whilst Capt. Bainbridge, thpn a pris oner in the Bashaw’s castle in Tripoli, says in his journal in speaking of this enterprise, ‘which unfortunate scheme did no damage whatever to the Tri- politaus; nor did it even appear to leave them in confusion.” The Bashaw of Tripoli, desirous of finding out how many Americans had been killed in the explosion, offered a dollar for every body that was dis covered. By the 6th, two days after the disaster,all the bodies were brought in. In the bottom of the Intrepid, which had drifted among the rocks, were found two bodies; in the Con stitution's boat, which had drifted a- shore, one body was discovered ; on the southern shore six corpses had drifted, and the remaining four were found afloat in the harbor. The two bodies found in the bottom of the ketch, and the four discovered floating in the harbor, were seen by Capt. Bainbridge. He says they were so much disfigured it was impossible to recognise any feature known to us, or even to distinguish an officer from a seaman. Mr. Cowdery, a surgeon’s mate of the late frigate Philadelphia, who on account of his useful professional ser vices was allowed many privileges in the city, observed more than Capt. Bainbridge. He saw all thirteen of the bodies. He was enabled to select, by the fragments of clothes found up on them and by their delicate hands, the three officers; and he was most probably right, since the Americans in Tripoli did not know how many officers were in the Intrepid. The ten seamen were buried on the shore out of the city, near the walls. The three officers were entombed in one grave, on a plain a short distance to the south and east of the Bashaw’s castle. Small stones were placed at the four corners of the last grave to designate its place; but these were soon after removed by the Turks, who would not permit what they deemed a Christian monument “disfigure their land.” Several of the American of ficers imprisoned in Tripoli were al lowed the consolation of paying the last sad offices to the heroic dead. A monument to their memory, erec ted by their brother officers, stands in the Naval Academy, Annapolis, Mary land. To conjecture aloue the historian is left, regarding the cause of explosion of the Intrepid. A number of theo ries have been advanced: one that a cannon-ball may have passed through her and struck fire upon a bolt, spike, or even a nail ; another, that it was caused by a hot shot; still another, by an accident on the Intrepid itself; also, that she grounded and was blown up to escape capture; lastly, it is sta ted the Intrepid was surrounded by two Tripolitan corsairs of a hundred men each, and to prevent being taken, the powder in her was ignited. This last, saving the presence of the two gunboats, for which we have no official authority, but which may be readily believed, since three gunboats were seen at the western entrance ef the harbor before the Intreprd went in, and the Tripolitans’ early discovery of the ketch, is the mori reasonable hy pothesis. It is known Somers and all his men did not intend to be taken.— Discovered, surrounded, outnumbered, what would Somers do? Just what he said he would. The circumstances bear out the supposition. The hurry ing, moving, waving light along the deck of a vessel where it was known the Intrepid was, then sinking below, suggests the idea of a swift messenger to the splinter-room ; darkness for a half-minute after the disappearance be low of the light—time enough to ex ecute the order—then the awful ex plosion. The aroused suspicions of the Tri politans and the early discovery of the ketch’s approach, fasten upon this en terprise the thought that probably due secrecy and precaution were not ob served in the expedition. Richard Somers was but twenty-five years of age when, however much we may question the morality of an expe dition that baa in it a provisional sui cide, he to heroically gave up his life in the service of his country. He was possessed of a respectable pro perty, and one that increased in value all of which he willed to an only sis ter. Somers was nrild, affectionate and exceedingly chivalrous. So tenacious was he of this last point, in support of his ideas of chivalry he fought three duels in one day, almost all in succes sion; having been wounded in the two previous ones, he fought the last seat ed on the ground, held up by his friend Stephen Decatur. The character of Lieutenant Somers gave promise of a brilliant future.— Congress passed a resolution of condo lence with the friends of the officers who died in the lntiepid. Several small vessels were named after its comman der, aud Com. Perry named a schoon er in honor of him, which was on the lake oq the 10th of September when he defeated the British squadron. A beautiful brig was also called after Somers. Around the name of Somers, which became tali3inamc in the Amer ican navy, there clings, and perhaps will ever cling, a solemn and interest ing mystery. E. S. Riley, Jr. Death of Bon> James A. Visbet. We are pained to announce the death of Hon. James A. Nisbet, which took place iu this city early in the morn ing of the 18th inst, after protracted illness from an affection of the lungs, from which he has suffered more or less for about a year past, and which has confined him to his house for a- bout two months. Mr. Nisbet was widely known in Georgia, we may say throughout the country, as an eminent lawyer in large practice—a very energetic and public spirited man—with a remarkably clear and eminently practical mind—a wri ter of unusual force—a man whose word was as good as bis bond—whose integrity was beyond all suspicion or questiou—and in all respects one of the most influential, valuable and ex emplary citizens of Georgia and of Macon. He was born iu Greene county in this State, on the 6th day of Decem ber, 1812—the 5th son of Dr. James Nisbet. He was graduated at the University of Georgia and read law with his distinguished brother, Hon. Eugenius A. Nisbet, and subsequently completed his professional education at the Law School of Yale College, Connecticut. He settled in Macon in 1834 or 1S35, and soon after married Frances Rebecca, eldest daughter of Dr. John Wingfield, of Madison, Ga. For about twenty years he was the law partner of Hon. Washington Poe, and more recently was associated with the law firm of Nisbets and Nisbets & Jackson. He was one of the officers of the Macon Volunteers, at the first organization of that company, and dur ing his long residence in the city, he has held the offices of Mayor and post master, and twice represented the coun ty iu the General Assembly, overcom ing by his personal popularity, each time, an adverse party majority. He was one of the leading projec tors of the Central and Southwestern Railroads, and for some time a director in the former company. He died in the communion of the Presbyterian Church and in peace and charity with all mankind, leaving behind him an afflicted widow and four children, whose heavy bereavement will evoke the earnest sympathies of all our peo ple. So has passed away another of our men of mark—another controlling mind—another familiar face—another ready hand and warm heart. How fast they disappear, one after another from the stage of action ! How fre quently are we reminded of the fleet ing and transitory nature of all things earthly. How soon all who were identified with the early history of Macon will have disappeared. Mr. Nisbet has gone in comparatively ear ly life! but he was never a robust man. In him was the not uncommon of great mental and bodffy ac tivity with a spare and feeble Trame and a highly nervous organization. But he has lived an honored aud hon orable life—he has died universally lamented and leaving a great void be hind him.—Telegraph if Messenger. INHALING SYSTEM DR.

His life comes out as plain as if it was the smali-pox. Is the hu man animal vicious; doss he drink; has he any intemperate or demorali zing habits; is he avaricious—it ail appears in the plainest colors on his face, as unmistakable as his eyes, nose and ears. Alas! how few good, pure, beautiful, temperate faces do we see to-day. The male man like the male of other animals, should be the noblest and handsomest in form and feature, and in a few generations he would be if he bad lived as nature intended he should live. Give us the man with a good face, a fine honest face, and he can be trusted with this world aud the next. Let the reader the turn his mir ror and study his own face.
