We do not know who or what “escarimento” is, but if they need hav badly, our friends Jenson, Crump, Davison & Cos., and Stovall & Edmoud ston, huve small lots left. Madison Commission House. —We direct attention to the card of Mr. I. W. Reese, who has opened an auction and commission house in Madison. ‘ Ike” is a son of Hon. Augustus Reese, of the Ocmulgee Circuit, and is a re liable and thorough-going man. Warnino to Freud men.— .We fre quently hear of gross impositions prac ticed on negroes from the country, by the pestilent cliques of sharpers, of their own color, who make their living in the City by confidence games, and general rascality. The white people- iu the country, who are familiar with the dead falls of our towns, should put the freed men on their guard against them. A Timedy Remembrance. —The com positors of the Dailg Press being de tained last night a little later than usual, were the recipients of a timely and bountiful lunch from the Proprietor, for which they take the liberty of making this acknowledgement. It was a “bo nus’ lunch. It was bonus, in the literal significance of the Latin word, (good.) and bonus iu the fact that it was ene of those pleasant and voluntary evidences of appreciation, which lighten the bur den of toil and brighten the dark shades of life. Locke on the Human Understand ing is undoubtedly good, but Blodgett k Cos. are issuing large editions daily of works better suited to the general w'flnts than the speculations of this philosopher. There is something sub stantial in what they get up. What boots it for a man to have a head full of metaphysics and no boots on his feet? The first thing be knows the doctors will be cramming physics down l‘is throat. Go, then, to the above named linn, and be heeled in time, t More \ amjable Exchanges. —We welcome to our exchange list the New- Orleans Picayune, and New York Tri nine, representing the antipodes of the chiu r>, geographically as well as polit “■). and both most enterprising and valuable newspapers. Is it significant We Bllould «l«o at the same time receive the Washington Republican wno i is i Guarded in a certain sense, the organ of President Johnson ? Would that all section, and interests of the country might come together wilh the fraternal sp.nt exhibited by these jour nals in their exchange with us. Collision.— Au amusing collision occurred between two drays on Broad street, on yesterday. Tha horse at tached to one ran away, and coming In collision with anotto, one wheel of each was elevated to an' angle of forty-five degrees, and both horses cauie to &,balt, leaving the drays* thus perched in the air. Thr Annoyance of Editors.—A New I'ork letter writer gives the follow jng specimen of editorial sufferings in the 'JYibtt fie office : One day last year, Mr, Greeley wrote an editorial entitled ‘ William H. Se ward." Imagine his rage when it came to him in proof headed’ “Richard the Third I" Yet anybody familiar witli_ chirography. if his inky jerks elm be‘so designated, will readily see, not-only how such a mistake could be made, but how it probably would be. Again he wrote about “three men in buck ram," and the prosaic type setter got it “three meu in a back room." And this, notwithstanding the fact that two compositors of sagacity and experience are hired at an extra becaijse they can read his copy. But George Ripley has been the victim of the grossest outrage in this line. In one of his book notices, he took the liberty of quoting from Shakspeare: “ 'Tis true, ’lis pity; and pity ’tis,’tis true." And the wretched bungler got it, “ ’Tis two, 'tis fifty ; ’tis fifty—’tis fifty two I” The Valley of the'Amazon.—A traveller whp has recently visited that interesting country, says the .country is intersected by a perfect net work of nnt ural canals, connecting one river with another, inosculating like the blood of the human system For interior communication, these answer all the purposes of artificial highways. So numerous are they indeed as to preclude the pract ability us well as the necessity of railroads. The basin of the Amazon is about 2,500 miles from east to west.and ,3,000 from North to South, embracing an area of five millions ol square mdes. The extraordinary fecundity of the soil, and salubrity of the climate, will enable it to support a’ population equal to one-' half of the inhabitants now living on the globe. The day cannot be distant when the tide of emigration will set in that direction; ami when it once begins in earnest, it will move with a momen tum far exceeding that which has been coming to our own shores for the last halt century. At present the popula iiou of the whole country is estimated to be not more than 250,000. The Goddess of Liberty. —The way the figure of the Goddess of liberty came to be on our national coins is as follows: Mr. Spencer the inventor of Spencer’s lathe, used by the American Bank Note Company, was the artist who cut the first die for our American coin, lie cut an exact medallion of Mrs. Wash ington, ihe wife of General Washington, and the first lew coins were struck wilh her portrait. When General Washing ton saw them ho was displeased, nnd requested the figure to be removed. Mr. Spencer altered the features a little, and putting a cap upon its head, called it the Goddess of Liberty. The sentiment of which this figure is supposed to be the symbol, has sadly changed since then, and Mrs. Washington’s descendants have no cause to regret that her portrait gave place to the present counterfeit present ment. The Tomato. —One of the most use ful vegetables of this latitude is the tomato. Eiiher cooked, raw, or in the form of catsup, it is palatable and whole some, and its juice, when properly made into wine, is an agreeable and healthful beverage. The following medicinal vir tues are ascribed to the tomato by high medical authority: 1. That the tomato is one of Ihe most powerful aperients ol the liver and or gans; where calomel is indie rted, it is oneol the most effective and least harm ful medical agents known to tho profes sion. 2. That a chemical extract will be obtained from it that will supercede the use of calomel in the cure of disease. 3. That he lias succe-sfully treated diarrhoea with this article alone. 4. That when used as an article of diet, it is almost sovereign for dyspepsia and indigestion. Everybody that has ten feet square of land may raise enough of this vegetable to supply the table for the season. Icy. Passing Mr. Emery’s well known icery the other day, we observed that be was having the whole establish ment renovated for the opening summer trade. These warm days remind us of the good time coming when we shall sit in the shade at Guerin’s and cool off on ice cream, or sherbet, or perchance be beguiled into a smile at some of the other refrigerating establishments aboiq town. Sancbo Panza blessed the man who invented sleep—but the inventor ot ice was a benefactor also, that all appreciate iu its season. They are having an over dose of it up North just now, but plenty as it is, and has been, we learn that the ice dealers have not saved as much as usual. When it froze the thickest, the weather was too severe to do much at saving it, and it mode rated so much, that the ice melted be fore the ice houses were filled. Still, the crop is ample, and Emery will have a supply in due season. Rinderpest. —The Texas papers ridi cule the efforts made to keep Texas cat tle from being shipped West on account of alleged fear of lliuderpest. They intimate that ?,impest, or dread of losing money by competition with the Texas cattle growers, is the true cause of the legislation on that subject. It is stated that it costs ten or fifteen dollars to raise a beef, in Kansas, which costs no more thau a dollar in Texas. The Texas papers think it rather cool to keep their cattle from market when scabby sheep of the North and West have been poured into Texas at all sorts of prices. Radical Pow Wow in Tknnrßsch. Undor this head the Nashville Repub lican gives a full report of the proceed ings of the Radical Convention which assembled iu that city on Friday last, and unanimously nominated Brownlow for Governor. The Convention was violent to a degree which we have no where seen equalled. The following extract from a*spcech by Judge Houk, is a fair sample of the proceedings, and was greeted with storms of applause: The meanest nigger in nil Tennessee —the thickest lipped, thickest headed, (latest upsed, longest heeled pigger in all Tennessee, was good enough to sit on a jury to try a rebel—and he would vote for such a candidal* for* office in preference to a rebel or Conservative sos there was not a'scintilla of differ ence ; it possible, the Conservative was meaner than the rebel. The most hafe (tastiest thing he ever saw in his life was a man coming along and saying he was a Conservative. He would as soon hear him say that he was aWse thief-—he was a mean, nasty dog. Should tiiese mean, infamous scoun drels be permitted to get hold of the Government again I Never 1 Never I Resolutions endorsing Brownlow and Congress/and condemning the Presi dent, were of course adopted, and Geu.

The long talked of marriage between Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., and Miss Alice Gwinne, took place in New York last week. The trains of the bride maid’s dresses were so long that one couple had to wait at the door until the other had gone some distance up the aisle. The bride wore an elegant white satin, with point lace peplums, and tulle veil. The bridemaids, five in number, wore white tarletan, with very long trains. The hair was dressed very high, and ornamented with a wreath of white morning giories, with green leaves, which went once around the chignon and hung below the waist. Sententious. The Round Table thinks the propensity for condensing news is rather overdone, and says that if our newspapers carry what most of them would call the “terse, sharp, tell ing” style of paragraphingtnuch further, we shall expect to see columns of their space filled with matter, something like this : Industrious Doolittle’s dead. Picayune Butler’s coming. Green Peas in Baltimore. The little Villain’s ratted. Hard limes in Ole Virginny. No impeachment this session. Bay full of ice. Poor times for oysters. The C. O. 1.11. is up a tree. General Thaw has arrived. Hoop-up and-de dooden-day. Snooks has gone to Peoria. Toothpicks. That’s so. Etc., etc. Proposed Loan to Planters —The St. Louis Board of Trade recently sent a committee to Washington, to induce Congress to loan the South from §50,000,000 to $100,000,000. The plan was, to make the amount suffi cient to supply with provisions all who are engaged in producing Cotton, and who are unable to procure provisions in any other way —the cost ot supplies to be a lien upon the crops, and to be paid for out of the first proceeds of the sales of Cotton, the provis ons to be purchased by the Commissary De partment of the Army, and dis tributed through the Freedmeu’s Bu reau, or by officers of the army; the advances thus made to be collected through the agents of the Government for collecting revenue tax on Cotton, with proper checks and balances, such as can readily be established between the War and Treasury Departments. The Committee claim that this plan will not only relieve the Government of the threatened necessity ot feeding the destitute as an act of charity, but will fully employ the labor in the country, and prevent a famine in the land. We have not observed what disposi tion Congress made of the matter, but we have no idea they will give it any favorable attention. Oil, Inspector. The accidents re sulting from the use of kerosene oil are so frequent, that it has been proposed in Congress to have Government In spectors appointed, whose duty it shall be to examine and test all illuminating oils put in the market. Petroleum oil can be distilled iu a manner that will render it quite as harmless as sperm or lard oils, and some refiners assert that, if the crude oil is properly converted into illuminating oil, it will stand the test of having lighted torches thrust into the barrels, without risk of explosion. Tt certainly behooves onr legislators to investigate the subject, and take meas ures to protect the people against the parties who are permitted to make and sell kerosene oils which cannot be burned, under ordinary circumstances, without danger to the lives and property of consumers and the community. —The last remains of Table Rock, on the Canada side of Niagara Falls, has fallen into the river. City Coc*t. —This Court, Judge Suead presiding, commenced its session od Monday last'.

Bome six or seven other cases were dismissed; and a few others continued. [for the daily press.] THE MAYORALTY. Mr. Editor : As the communications between Charles Estes, Esq., ami “Tax Payer," recently published in a city paper, have had the tendency to excite some suspicion in regard to the man agement of our city finances from 1851 to the time the present Council was inaugurated, and more particularly so from the fact that no public, exhibit was made during that period, as had been done previously, I therefore suggest (Mr. Estes and “Tax Payer,” having suggested no way by which we are to arrive at its condition) that Mr. May be solicited to again become a candidate, with the promise that he finish up and complete the business of bis previous terms 6f office, and if this pledge will not be given, that a matt be selected who will do it for him. * Observer. One of the Obnoxious Features of the Tax Biel Stricken Out.— ln the House of Representatives yesterday, Mr. Blaine, of Maine* moved to amend the Tax Bill by inserting a clause to the effect that after the Ist of September next there shall be no tax on Cotton grown in the United States. The amendment was adopted in Committee of the Whole by a vote of sixty three to fifty four. This Cotton tax is a drag upon the industry of the South,and the prospect of its being taken olf will be hailed with satisfaction by the people of the Cotton growing regions.— NlW York Herald, Feb. 23. What The South Must Rely On.— There is sound sense in the following thoughts on Southern prosperity, which we find in the New York Sun: The South will be fortunate it it fully recovers from the shock of w,;r within the next twenty years. Energy, perse verance and industry, can make the desert bloom, but only with the aid of time. All the help that is within the power of Congress to give, could not re store the South its prosperity, and this is the point which we desire to impress upon the minds of the Southern people. They must depend upon themselves tor the regeneration and material restora tion of their country. Immigration aud foreign capital may aid them to some extent, but they must consider that their only reliance—their only substantial de pendence—lies in their own industry. It is worse than folly to either beseech of berate Congress because of their present unfortunate political condition. Congress could help them but little if it had the power, ai.d since it has neither the power nor the will, why waste time ! iu appeals, complaints or grumblings? The Southern people must rebuild their prosperity in the same way and by tin same means that they originally built it They must go to work. They mus; throw off the habits of indolence which 1 a large class of them acquired under the slave system, and bring out the latent energy and ambition which have so long lain dormant. The Southern people ought now to develop their in dustry aud show to the world that all the enterprise of the United States is not confined to the Northern side of Mason und Dixon’s line. They have the ability to build up their prosperity, and they should now show that they have the will and the ambition to do it. Let them turn away from Congress, adopt the policy that we have suggested, place their reliaueo upon their own efforts, and within a reasonable time the South will stand side by side with the North in wealth, influence and power. Business in Bninbridge is looking up. A large hotel and some other new build ings are being erected. Phjbakt Rkfly to a Valentin*.— Dr. B. F. Coleman, in Columbus, hav ing received a scurrilous valentine, sent out ot- the Columbus papers the follow ing : Messrs. Editors: A gentleman hav ing sent his portrait through the post office, without giving his name, I must ask your indulgence to make my ac knowledgements to him through your paper. Respectfully yonrs, B. F. Coleman. Many thanks for your portrait, toy “(/non. dant unknown”— Unknown may’st thou over remnio To honor, to friendship, to countiy orhome,' And, glorying still in thy shame, Take spleen tor tby partner, make passion toy guide, And malice and envy, hatred and pride, Shall be coupled (or aye with thy name. Pale Hecate, thy mother awaits thee below, Impatient to hail thee, her eon; . ; Base Belial, surpassed, will uot fail to be stow On stioh worthy successor his crown ; Go join thee with Arnold and dark Cata liae, And form a triumvirate lasting as time, The chief place assuredly thine. Then, Satyr in features and Devil in hoart, To thy place iu the wide world of darkness depart— There, with spirits congenial, accomplish tby work, Assassin like, still stab thy foe in the dark— A peer in old Pluto’s dark clime— There tby bad pre-euiDenee ever maintain, Whilst devils shall blush at the call of tby name, And claim tfaee their own Valentine. A Close Story. —The different mean ings of many English words which Sound alike, are the occasion of ludi crous mbtakes with those who are learn ing our language. An instance lias just been related to us which occurred at the saloon of a French hair dresser, not a thousand miles from this city. A customer stepped in one morning to have his hair cut. The weather was quite warm, aud a glowing fire in the stove rendered the heat the more oppressive. Taking his seat, the French artiste, who knew little of English, said in brokeu accents, “Long or short, Monsieur ?’’ “Just so so,” said the customer —and feeling very hot—he just then observed, “Very close here.” “Aye, Monsieur, ver close,” said the Knight of the shears, and he com menced to whack away vigorously at the long flowing locks of the young man, who was now all aglow with perspira tion and anxious to get out into a cooler atmosphere. Every moment or two he would ropeat his observation “very close here,”, and once or twice, a friend who was present avers that he accompanied it with the expletive be ginning and ending with ad, thus— d—d close.” To all of which the dapper Frenchman would reply— “ Aye, Monsieur, ver close"—while he kept on sacrificing the ambrosial locks of bis customer. At length the usual finishing touches were applied, and the complacent ar tiste led the shorn victim to the glass in triumph. Judge of his anger when he found his hirsute glory completely sacri ficed—the innocent barber having uu derstood his frequent muttering about the heat of the room to mean a renewal of the direction to cut his hair “close.” The young man went, a«vaj in tin. worst possible humor, aud though the French barber soon learned to speak good English, he avers that he lias never allowed himself to get “close” to him since. Can’t be True. —A Western corres pendent tells of a young nian from one of the rural districts who got married in the morning, and took the train for Cincinnati. After seeing all the sights during the day and visiting the opera at night, the happy pair returned to the hotel, and the bride returned to her room. Late in the- night the boot black discovered the raw youth sitting in the hall, near the door of his.wife’s room. He inquired for the clerk of the hotel. We give what lollowed, verbatim, with the remark that we don’t believe a word of it: “Couldn’t, you make me a bed in the parlor?” cried the disconsolate individ ual. “In the parlor?” echoed the clerk, “I’m.afraid not." “Well, I’d like to have one spread down somewhere.” “Why don’t you go into your own room ?" asked the clerk. “1 don’t like to,” said the blushing young man. “Why, what’s the matter?"’continued the clerk. “Has your wife turned you out of your room ?" “No,” said he, drawling, “but you see I havn’t never been married before, nnd so I don’t like to go iu, particularly in a strange place.” “Oil 1 go right in,” said the clerk; “she won’t think it wrong.” Here the door of the room opened about an inch, and through the aperture came a voice, coaxiugly saying— “Do come in, John, I won’t hurt you. I know’d they think strange of yer standing out there. Come in now, won’t yer? I’ve blowed out the gas and it’s all dark iu here.” The odor of the room assured the clerk that she had, indeed, “blowed out the gas,” so, pushing open the door, he stopped the flow, raised the window, nnd returned to the hull to persuade the verdant husband to retire with his wife. All arguments were fruitless, however, and he was compelled to assign the sim ple individual a separate room h um that his wife was in that night. Shipping Intelligence. Charleston, Feb. 26.
