Ho would also call the particular attention of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su perior style of teeth, set on gold plate; for beauty, strength and life-like appearance, they aro not surpassed. As an impression has been made that my price* for dental opera tions are higher than tho usual run of Den tists, I beg leave to say that they aro the same as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon and Savannah. For Artificial Work my char ges are as follows: Entire Sets Upper nnd Lower from$100 to $25t. Half Sets, Tipper or Lower, from 50 to 150 Temporary Sots, Upper and Lower, 25 each. Partial Sots in proportion to the above. As I am well posted in all the late improve monts of the day, I feel confident that I can meet the wants of all who may need the ser vices of a Dentist, and if references are want ed; as to their utility in answering the purpo ses of nature, I can’give them in abundance, from thoso who have tested my skill, for tlio lust fourteen yours, in this, and adjoining Statos.

We see that the Legislature of Vir ginia has before it the old proposition to tax bachelors over the age of thirty years $10 each, to be applied to theeclu-, cation of poor clu.dren. There are in this country three con flicting principles of taxation, and we are at a loss to determine which of them sustains the proposition to tax old bach elors invidiously. The first of these is the ad valorem principle, by whioh things are taxed according to their value Could the member who introduced this bill have meant that a tax on bachelors of $10 per head and a poll tax.on mar ried men of only $1 per head, would bo an ad valorem tax in both cases? If so, his bill is not very complimentary to the latter class. Then there is the principle of discriminating in favor of home manufactures, and at first wo were disposed to think that this . idea was what the over-gallant Virginia' member was,driving at. But it is a principle that has never beeirpopulnr in Virginia or any other Southern State—in fact, Southerners are prone to denounce it as unconstitutional. Moreover this is a branch of industry that lias not been languishing at the South and is abun dantly able to take care of itself, especi ally during leap year. The third prin ciple is that of-taxing luxuries, to the exemption of common necessaries. Is bachelorism a state of luxury ? If so, the Virginia legislator has hit the nail on the head, and his bill ought to bo passed. It should, however, be amend ed, by engrossed ryder, so as to provide that all ladies over the age twenty, who permit a leap year to pass by without securing husbands, should also be tax ed to tho same extent. With this com promise, wo vote for the bill.—Oolnm- i ius Eng.

COTHRAN, Gen’l Bup'l, Singular Presknc* or Mind.—Last week at ono of tho fires in Now York, (hero was a plentiful supply of water, but-, by some accident-, a great ( scarcity of hose. Tho flumes wore gaining tho mastery every second, when a lady, who was present, touch by the dilemma, did notnesitatoa minute, but pulling off her jupon. removed from it the inflated india-rubber tubes, which form part,' and rather n considerable parcel of a lady’s dress now-a-daya. These tubes, consist ing of several yarns, were immediately attached to the engine, and played the impromptu part of hose most effectual ly. The consoquenoo was, the progress of the flames was arrested, and, ulti mately, tho building saved. The name of lhe lady, to whose presence of mind this fortunate termination wus mainly owing, is not known; as, after the damoge voluntarily inflicted on her dress, she, with a refined delicaoy that cannot be too highly praisod, instant ly sought refugo in flight. Such noble acfi» need no oomment from our pen.—• IV. O. Picayune.

Enif tSpWe believe that tho Alabama Democratic Convention is the only one yet held in n Southern State that did not present a citizen of its own State as a candidate for tho Charleston nomina tion for the Presidency.
