May Day.
To-morrow being the First of May, the
I estival oi the Flowers will be appropiutely
c .jebtated. In tho morninr the military com-
ptoiies in the city will parade, end in the after
noon n Pic Nic will take place nt Oglethorpe
Barracks, where the young peoplo will assem
ble to pay homage to the Goddess Flora, and
to enjoy together tho festivities and recreations
usual on the return of the vernnl season.
The observance of this day is no where in
thi* country so murked ns in our city, where
nil classes and all ages are accustnttied to make
it n white day in the calendar of time. The
custom is a commendublc one, and should bo
cherished by till who have u taste for the beau
tiful and are not insensible to the teachings of
danio nature, in her loveliest phase.
TUc Military.
The Chatham Artillery.—This ancient
c u ps, commanded by Copt. J. B. Gallie,w11!
parade at 11 o’clock, on to-morrow morning,
and lire a salute in honor of the day. After
the tuiradc, tho corps will pariuke of a colla
tion, as wo understand, at. Armory Hal!. Wo
believe this is the oldest Artillery corps in the
United States, their chi r er hearing date 1786
The Republican Blues.—'Ti.ii favorite
corps, commanded by Cnpt. John W. Ander
son, will parade to-morrow morning, and, we
learn, will presont un olegant silver cup, to one
of its veteran members. We have not yet had
an opportunity to inspect the cup, but learn that
it is a very beautiful.
The Phoenix Riflemen.—This corps, under
the command of Cnpt. W. M. C. Mills, w ill
appear on thoir parade ground at 10 o’clock,
to-morrow morning. In the course of tlieduy,
a beautiful flag, the work of a lady of Savan
nah, will be presented to the Riflemen.
The German Volunteers will appear
on their parade ground at 9 o’clock, to
morrow morning, to celebrato the 1st of May
They are commanded byCapt. J. M. Stiegen.
After going through their usual drill, (he corps
will proceed to the Commons, and contend for
two prizes; one a gold medal—the other a
handsome plume.
Tue Irish Jasper Greens.—This corps,
commanded by Capt. J. Devanny, will parade
to-morrow morning, at 9 o’clock, and go
through the usual drill.
Military Visit to Macon.—Our veteran
military Corps, tho Savannah Volunteer
Guards, Capt. C. P. Riciiardsone, left our
city, on tho cars, this morning, for Macon, for
the ipurpose of celebrating their 48th anniver
sury in that city, on the 1st of May. Thi
Corps was organized in 1802, and ever since
that period has kept its ranks full, and has the
reputation of being one of the best drilled
companies in the State—perhaps in the coun
try. It whs at one time commanded by Cnpt.
Edward Fenwick Tattnall, under whom,
at times, it mustered on parade, upwards of
124 men. There are several veteran members
stijj belonging to the company, who are as
prompt to answer at roll call, and who take as
lively intorcst in all that pertains to the ir.ler-
ests and honor of tho corps as any of the
younger members. Among those wc may name
Mr. David Bell, (who, we are informed, was
a corporal on the first parade in 1802,) and
Mr. A. J. C. Shaw, who became u member
shortly after its organization. The Guards
will, no doubt. > he cordially welcomed by the
military and citizens of Macon, whose hospital
ity is proverbial.
Firemen’s Visit to Charleston.—The
Oglethorpe Fire Company of this city, will
leave on Wednesday evening on a pleasure ex
cursion to our sister city of Charleston. A finer
body of firemen we have never seen, and our
city is justly proud of them, for the efficient aid
which they have rendered whenever their ser
vices have been required. Me lenrn that a
committee of tho Washington Fire Company.
and a delegation of the Savannah Fire Com
panies, will accompany them. They " ill he tho
guestsof the Phccnix Fire Company of Charles
ton, who are favorably remembered by our cit
izens, and who have invited onr companies to
their city, to join in the Mayor’s procession,
which will come off - the present week. On
Thursday afternoon a dinner is to he served
up nt the Charleston Hotel. 1 he Oglethorpe
Engine has been licautifullv painted and is in
fine order. The likeness of Gen. Oglethorpe,
on both sides of tho engine, is snid to he ex
cellent. It is the work of Mr. Joseph A.
Beals, a resident artist of merit, and member
of the company.
Death of a Merchant.—Wo regret to an
nounce tho death of Edward Wiley, Esq.,
which took place in this city yesterday fore
noon. Mr. VV. wus well known in our com-
munity, anJ highly respected for his integrity
of character, and unassuming deportment. He
was a native of the city of New York, and has
resided iu Savannah upwards of thirty years,
where he at ono tithe conducted a large mer
cantile business. Ho leaves a wile ai d several
children to mourn his loss, who, we understand
reside al present in Providonce, R. I. His re
mains will bo interred this forenoon at 9.^
o’clock, from Christ Church.
A Fortune Lost.—Wo understand that a
half ticket in Extra Class No. 24 of the Greene
and Pulaski Monument Lottery, was returned
Inst week for want of a purchaser, by Mr. E.
Withington. As usual the ticket was return
ed with others unsold on Saturday afternoon,
und on yesterday morning the drawing wus
received by which it appears that it was or
would have been a. prize of $70,0011! A snug
little fortune to go a begging.
Thf, America’s Letters.—For some four
or five days our merchants have been expect
ing their letters by this steamer, but have ex
perienced disappointment until yesterday morn
ing, when they came through by tho Metumr, ■
Where they have been travelling no one
can tell, and their arrival nt all may perhaps
be ns well attributed to chanco as to design.
It would seem that those who have the direc
tion of the transatlantic mails, regard our South-
WnMhinKton Gossip.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, suys:
In spite of tho croakers, tho slavery question
will receive its quietus in the course of this
session. There are people here, who, with an
apparent desire to see every thing amicably
disposed of, are now beginning to bo afraid
that tho settlement has come, and that in a lew
weeks there will be an end ol all the capital to
ho mode out of the agitation. They try evon
now to poison public opinion ngainst tho com-
prmni' They talk about log-rolling, omnibus
hills, and what not; becuuse it is but too clear
that tho more kindred subjects are connected
with one another in one bill, the more likely
is that, hill to pass. They would like to sepa
rate the bills—especially the .California from
the Territorial hills, because they feel confi
dent, as indeed they might, that so soon ns tin se
bills are separated, so soon is all idea of a
nnionnl compromise at an end. ’I ho coupling
of the bills is the test question, nothing else.
If California he admitted by herself, then the
territorial bill will never see daylight at all, and
this is perfectly known by those who advocate
the taking up and passing of the California bill
by herself. Hence the efforts of the Wilmot
pmvisoists to prevent the union of the two
bills, nnd the deep anxiety with which they
watch Mr. Benton’s progress.
Another letter says:—
The committee on Navaluffairs of tho House
of Representatives, have agreed to report a bill
for the incorporation of the officers of tho Tex
an navy into the navy of tho United States.
The committee will present, a strong and con
clusive argument in favor of the measure, a-
foundod upon tho faith of the government
pledge in treaty stipulations to Texus. There
are thirteen officers of the Texan navy, bat em
bracing only one post captain.
The navy of the United States can find no
adequate employment in these piping times of
peace. It is in contemplation to leduco the
number of officers, by means other than the
formation of a retired list. The Texan officers
who may he absorbed, will, of course, be sub
ject to th" same rale of reduction, and the
prospect of a reduction will, therefore, form no
• ibstaclo to the proposed increase.
Gen. Houston is not in bis seat. He marches
in the Clay and Cass column in favor of com
promise—Wtf uniting Dills, &c. Mr. Benton
will he alone among the Senators from slave
holding States, in his opposition to the only
piaeticnl ni>d speedy meat s of bringing Califor
nia into the Union, and of adjusting all pendn g
difficulties.
A letter in the Baltimore Clipper has the
following paragraph—
Yesterday, during the calling of reports
from committees, Mr. Morse, from tlmt of 1’ri-
vate Lund Claims, reported back the petition
of David Wier, of Tennessee, asking for a
grant of land, on the ground that his wife bad
t.nree children at a birth. Not wishing to have
any connection with the subject, on his motion
it was referred to the cominitte on Manufac
tures. Much laughter was consequent on the
report nnd referutice.
It is reported to-day that twenty thousand
dollars have I eon subscribed bv Southern gen
tlemen for the establishment of a now daily
Wonderful Discovery.— It is announced
in the Newark Advertiser that an air ear has
been invented that can be steerod through the
air with ns much precision ns a steam vessel ran
be on tho ocean. The writer says tlmt as tlie
governments of the world now are, if the se
cret of the air car was divulged, it would soon
break up all American factories, mid give lib
erty to all American slaves : for they could any
night he taken from their masters, nnd before
light he well on their way to Africa.
What is to become of us ?—If this secret
should he divulged, und who can doubt that it
will—it will be worse than all the Wilmot
Provisos and underground railroads that ever
were devised.
By the same means the writer thinks that
Europe will speedily ho depopulated. The
paupers of England will tako wings and fly a-
way to America and Australia—there would
n >t he enough left to support tho nobility, the
national debt would have to he repudiated und
the nation itself would become bankrupt—
laws ngainst smuggling would ho useless and
revenue could he no longer derived from im
ports or exports. To remedy these evils
iu purt, so far as Europe is concerned, the wri
ter suggests the following arrangement.
If, says he tho world were divided into six
great empires, one east of a. line drawn along
the Ural and other mountains to the hay of Ben
gal, nnd another west of this line, North Ame
rica one, South America one, Africa one, Aus
tral i.i one, (Australia to include Bi.inieo,Siimatru,
and all other Islands that are niglter to it than
they are to any other continent.) till ether is
lands to belong to whatever continent they tire
nighest to; and a general government over
these six empires, which should have jurisdic
tion of the world’s atmosphere, and should de
cree at wliat places only air cars should he
built and sail from and sail to, and collect a
duty on passengers und freight, it might pre
vent the overturning of all the governments of
Europe.
Z.fiF A Paris Correspondent of a London pa-
paper, says that a plot has been discovered
to assassinate the Emperor of Austria, tile
Pope, and Louis Napoleon. It is said to have
originated amongst the zealots of the refugee
Repeld'carm in Switzerland.

Frightening a Landlord.—A landlord in
Pittsburg, who is well known for his dunning
habits, had called several times on a tenant
who owed him money. The tenant finally sent
a note inviting him to call on him “in the hack
room of the third story and receive his money.’
The landlord had read the Webster testimony
and has not troubled his tenant since.

Remedy for Delirium Tremens.—Half
a grain of the tartrate of antimony, with two
ounces of water and a drachm of tincture of
opium, and an equal quantity of nitrous other,
or cnlchicym, are said to he an effectual cure
of delirium tremens—allaying the excitement
of the brain and promoting the healthy action
of the skin and kidneys.
if this reciple is what “ it is said to be,” it is
certainly u valuable discovery. But if the old
maxim which says that “ an ounce of preven
tion is worth a pound of cure,” be true we would
recommend instead of a too firm reliance on the
above, the practice of the water treuttnent for
intemperance, a prescription for which will be
found in tho Washingtonian or Father Mathew
Pledge. In ordinary cases, abstemiousness will
do;, but where the symptoms-of the dreadful
disease ore plainly manifest, the pledge and
nothing short of it, should be resorted to.
A Cholera Incident.—The lady of Dr.

Boats on the Tennessee.—There are now
nine steamboats plying abovo the shoals on tho
Tennessee river, and the prospect is, that tho
number will soon bo increased to sixteen or
eighteen. Our roads are much interested in
this increase of transportation on the Tennes
see, as the Cotton and other produce will no
longer bo subjected to uttnoyitig delays at dif-
feient points on the river, by which much of it
was formerly turned in tho direction of New
Orleans.

Present Policy of Texas.—In a letter in
the New York Journal of Commerce, from Dr.
Ashbel Smith, of Texus—a mun of well known
character und intelligence—he expresses his
belief thut the people of thut Slate would readi
ly relinquish their claims upon the Santa Fe
district of New Mexico, for a compensation ;
and also, that public opinion is at present de
cidedly opposed to a further subdivision of
Texas for the creation of new States. Dr.
Smith, it will he recollected, was minister of

France, at the date of her annexation to the
United Stales.

Natchitoches, April 16, 1S50.
A rumor of the most distressing kind has
this moment reached town. Col. Do Ilussey
and three sons, with Dr. Linton nod Mr. Pai
nter, all of Grand Ecore, started ■ early this
morning on a fishing excursion to Sibley’s
Lake; when about tho middle of the lake (so
says report) a storm threatened the party, and
to secure themselves they pushed for the oppo
site shore, but when within twenty feet of the
landing the boat capsized, and, horrible tore-
lute. all w ith the exception of Mr. P. Were lost.
Mr. P., being un expert sw immer, succeeded
in gaining the boggy shore, hut in a mangle I
ami shocking condition, having been mutilated
by an uligator-gar, as he supposed, as lie reach
ed the laud. By the next boat I will send full
particulars, as a party will start in a few mo
ments to drag for the bodies.

Do Uusscv was educated nt West Point, was
Colonel of the Louisiana Regiment in the wav

Another Riot at Panama.—Another
disgraceful street fight, took place in Panama
on the 24th of March. A company of drun
ken Irish sailors had a difficulty with some of
the natives in one of the restaurants. The hit-
tei took refuge in the house of Mr. Zacchris-
son, where they were followed und assaulted.
A largo stone was thrown at Zucchrisson,
whereupon the Guard was ordered out and u
general fight ensued, in the course of which
one of the natives was knocked down und very
severely injured.
Our American Sculptor, Powers, is engaged
on an allegorical representation of America, the

a correspondent iif the National Intelligencer,
that an Italian artist is about to make a casj in
hronzo of a statuo somewhat similar to that of
Mr. Powers, with the view of forestalling the
work of the latter by sending it to this country
at an earlier date than Mr. Powers can trans

The Cradle for Her Majesty's next. Child,
We have seen, with much pleasure, die pro
gress of this important specimen «f tin. ni t of
wood engraving, and augur most favorably of
the effect the whole will produce in a state of
completion. The sides, which are finished,
are carved in the ciloiset box—the difficulty 0 f
procuring which w ood has been one of the cau
ses of delay attending the work. In the upper
portion are friezes in relief, having an nlten.ato
introduction of roses and popies, designed and
executed with tho purest feeling of Italian
taste. Beneath them is a hold torus moulding
with pinks, inserted in fluted hollows, Tho
two ends remain lobe produced, and to them
the utmost delicacy of finish will he imparted.
The interiors of the rockers tire ornamenti'd
with foliated dolphins, nnd even the flat edges
of the foot and the head are elaborately carv
ed i, to scroll work. This cradle is the work
of Mr. Rogers.—ArtJournal.
We would like to know how many cradle
makers the royal family keeps in constant em
ployment.
Take the Dry One.—At the lute Theatrical
Fund celebration in Loudon, Mr. Dickens, by
way of illustration of a thought, reluted the
following anecdote:—
“ ‘Yesterday,’ said Mr. Dickens, ‘I was told
a story by a friend of mine, who belongs to a
class remarkable for their literal accuracy of
narrative, and ahsence of all exaggerations in
their descriptions—an American sea-captain.
On his Inst voyage home, the captain had on
board a young lady of remarkable personal
attractions—a ; hrase I use us one being entire-
ly new, and one you never meet with in the
newspapers. This young Indy wus beloved in
tensely by five young gentlemen passengers, und
in turn she was in love with them all very
ardently, hut without any particular preference
for either. Not knowing how to make up her
determination in this dilemma, she consulted
my friend the captain. The captain being a
man of an original turn of mind, says to the
young Indy. Mump overheard, and marry the
man who jtnnps after you.’ The young lady
struck with the idea, and being naturally fond
of bathing, especially in warm weather as it
then was, took the advice of the euptuin, who
had a boat ready manned in ense of accident.
Accordingly next morning, the five lovers being
on deek, and looking very devotedly ut the
young lady, she plunged into the sea head-fore
most. Four of the lovers immediately jumped
in after her. When the vnu/ig lady and her
four lovers were got out again, she says to the
captain, ‘What ntn I to do with them now,
they are so wet?’ Says the captain, ‘Take the
dry one!' and the young lady did, and'married
him.” i
A Scene at a. Theatre.—Quite nn excitement
was raised at the Pittsburg theatre one night
Inst week, by a person discovering his wife in
a box with another mail. The husband raised
a rumpus, which drew a police officer, nnd a
blow, intended for the ladv’s gallant, Ml upon
the nose of that unfortunate in prosentativeof
municipal authority. The officer thereupon
took the husband in custody and lodged him
in the police office nil night. In the morning tho
mini’s wife wnsgone oil' with “a gentleman who
know her father."
