The committee will not consent to this, In* will in all probability report a bill directing If company to change tho bridge so as to cross Slight angle, and to construct the draw in the addle, making it 150 feet wide.

Maynard will, on Monday, move to suspend tho rules to take from tho Speaker’s table tho Southern Pacific Railroad bill, passed by the Senate last session, in order to have action oh it at the present session. It is doubtful, how ever, whether the motion can get tbo necessary two-thirds majority. If not, tho bill will prob ably fail in this Congress. Special Treasury Agent, A. R. Leib, lias been relieved from Florida, and transferred to the New England District. Tho Secretary of tho Treasury has ordered in $2,500,000 of 3 per cent, certificates, numbers Cl 1 to SCO inclusive, of $5000, and 501 to 758, inclusive, of $1000.

There fore, that the clerk be directed to address a note to the Secretary of the Treasury reminding him that no reply had been received, and request a reply at tho earliest practical moment. The balance of the day was devoted to private bills and territories. New Orleans, February 4.—Another terrible accident has been reported on the Jackson road. Two sleeping cars of a Northern-bound train wore thrown from the track, badly smashed, and a large nnmfcer cf passengers reported injured— many of them severely. Railroaders seem to have smothered effectually tho particulars of this last calamity. New Yobs, February 4.—Tho committee of the Chamber of Commerce, appointed to extend aid to France, held an adjourned meeting to day. It was resolved that tho Treasurer bo in structed to notify tho American Minister at Paris, that $20,000 will be placed to his credit at once, to be used by him in the purchase of supplies. A special committee was appointed to receive supplies of grain, provisions, etc., and to take charge of shipments of tho same. An appeal to tbo American people, urging them to contribute funds and supplies for tno starv ing people of Frrnce, was adopted.

Both gentlemen agreed in tho expression of the conviction, that all native bom Americans cherish affection for England, and that alien residents of the United States are hostile to this country. Travellers who left Paris on Wednesday arrived in Brussels to-day. They report the city quiet. Some slight disorder upon tho re ceipt of the news of the armistice, bat the. riot ers were easily appeased. There was great difficulty in procuring food and 23,000 persons have already asked permission to leave the city. A preliminary electoral meeting held in Paris decided in favor of the following candidates for the National Assembly: Victor Hugo, Garibaldi, Quinet, Gambetta, Soissan and Dorrean. All signatures to the Paris treaty present this afternoon except France. The foreign office announces that an offer has been made of a plan whereby English re sources to supply Paris may be placed at the disposal of Bismarck and Favre, under tho su perintendence of German and French agents. London, February 4.—The Conference had a long session. No results were reached. The Conference meets again on Tuesday. Thomas William Robertson, a distinguished dramatio, is dead. No confirmation of Bourbaki’s death has been received. The report that Eugenie left Chiuelhardt for the continent proves without foundation, as does also another report that Mr. Henry Corti arrived in England on a special mission. It is now known that about 180,000 prison ers were taken in Paris, with 15,000 cannon and 400 field pieces and mitrailleuses. The gunboats in the Seine and the rolling stock of Uie railways wero also appropriated by the Germans. It haB been ascertained that the Times state ment of the conditions of peace, as regards the cession of Loraine and Pondicheray and the transfer of twenty ships of war to Germany, is incorrect. The trnthis, the Germans are, under the proposed terms of peace, to keep Alsace and the Fortress of Metz. The indemnity demanded of Thiers in November was 4,000,000 francs, a figure which it is possible- has been doubled since. Conference deliberations were pro longed, lasting several hours; but no practical results are known. Sr. Petersburg, February 4.—Jt is said the Government has submitted a proposition to tho Porto for the peaceable discussion by the two Governments of the annexation of Bavaria and Heizegonia to Servia. Berlin, February 3.—The President of the lower House of the Prussian Diet read to that body tho reply of the Emperor to the loyal and congratulatory address upon the accession of his assumption to the Imperial crown. The Emperor expressed his thanks to tho Diet for the sentiments in their address, and a fervent hope of peace and prosperity of the new Em pire. Though there is now, he says, some pros pects that the severe strugglo into which Ger many was forced will soon be finished, it can as yet only be considered that there is ground for the hope of a re-establishment of peace. It is not impossible that the war will continue, and great sacrifices still be necessary from the Ger man people. -■ , . Brussels, February 3.—The Ganlois has a dispatch that Bonrbaki died of wounds inflicted npon himself daring temporary insanity. It is reported hero that an attempt jto assassi nate Trochu resulted in tho death of Trochus orderly. Trochn was unhurt It is now said the Orleans Princes will not aocept the candi- ture of the National Assembly. The Ganlois says the Paris Government has withdrawn tho powers of the Bordeaux delega- Versailles, February 3.—An official note from Count Bismarck points Gambetta to the decree issued to him declaring the ineligibility to the Assembly of functionaries under the Em- pire^as acorroboration of the fears expressed by M. 1 avre that the elections would not bo free, ra consequence of which, continues the Count, I proposed tho convocation of the Corps Legis late, which was refused by H. Favre, The note concludes with a protest from Bismarck against the decree, and a statement that tho Germans will only recognize an assembly composed of freely elected deputies. - Bordeaux, February 4.—Count Bismarck having protested against tho electoral disquali- II cation decree of the Bordeaux Government, Gambetta has made a reply, in which he warm ly defends that document and says it frustrates the plans of Bismarck and his accomplices, the fallen dynasty, and the insolent pretensions of tho Prussian Minister to interfere with the Constitution of a French Assembly. Tho best justification of the Bordeaux Gov ernment is the public meeting of last night, which resolved on a mass demonstration to morrow to formally request Gambetta to ac^ eept the Presidency of tho Committee cf Public Safety, and prosecute war to death. General Billot, commander of the 18th French corps, has arrived at Lyons. He reports that the retreat of tho army of the East was caused by wont of provisions and munitions. The ef fect of the armistice there, has been de monstrations of an extremely warlike charac ter, on the part of the people of Lyons, thou sands of whom assembled in public meetings and paraded the streets with shouts of “Vive la Guerre,” and “Vive la Commure.” Bobdeaux, February 4—Instructions were is sued yesterday by Gambetta to the Prefects of Departments requesting a strict execution of the electoral disqualifications decree. Delegates from the Republican committees throughout France are arriving at Bordeaux. Garibaldi has accepted the candidaby for the representa tion of Nice in the National Assembly. From Houston County. Big Indian, February 1,1871. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: One of the heaviest rains known for years passed over this section on last Tuesday evening and night, Everything in the lowlands ia submerged, and a good deal of damage done to fencing along the creeks. The water courses are all full, and some that are insignificant in ordinary times are now impassable. A number of bridges also are greatly damaged in the county. The condition of the ground will stop farming oper ations for a day or two. Lumber is a scarce article in the vicinity of Hayneville, and this fact has prompted some Northern men to put up a steam saw mill some three miles from the village. The machinery has arrived and every arrangement made, so that nothing remains to be done bnt to put the machinery up and set it agoing. There will be plenty of lumber soon. In my communication published ou tho 20 th, an error occurred, doing injustice to a deserv ing gentleman, Judge H. M. Holtzclaw. Instead of writing “Judge,” I should have written “Jesse” Holtzclaw, whose friends now declare lustily, is no Radical at all. I make these corrections with pleasure, ns Judge Holtzclaw has never soiled his hands with the Radical party, but has been a straightfor ward Democrat from the beginning. It was Jesse A. Holtzclaw who ran upon the Radical ticket for County Treasurer, and who is also an appointee of Governor Bullock's to the office of Solicitor of the new District Court of this Sena torial District. This bond qnestion is a sore one with the trinmph&nt party. We shall see what will become of it. Some of our sporting or rather hunting friends are having a good time in trapping beaveTs in the neighborhood of Dry Creek. Quite a num ber have recently been caught—largo, lusty looking fellows. They abound in considerable numbers in this section of the country. Cotton picking still continues on a few plan tations. A considerable amount has been gath ered in daring the month of January. There are many planters who are not through ginning yet, and in consequence there are several drafts unpaid. It is to be hoped that wisdom will con trol the planting interests this year and prompt men to raise more corn and meat. Le Reve. Is It Peace? Under this head the Courier des Etats Unis, of Now York, the most influential and widely circulated French paper in the. United States, says: When we state that “the armistice is*the end of the war, it is our opinion and our desire,” we mean that if hard pressed by the fight, mu tilated by the sword, charred by the fire, we are ready to abandon the arms, the fragments of which alone the fortune of war has left in our hands, it is because we wish to preserve in our veins enough blood to maintain life; it is that we wish to preserve respiration enough to revive us, to recover breath, to regain our strength, to await our opportunity, and then when the hour has come, to seize our enemy by the throat and avenge ourselves. That is savage. Yes. It makes civilization recoil, and retards that beautiful humanitarian theory of the abolition of war. Cer tainly. If we are to be barbarians, be it so. The worid'will point their finger at ns. Whatmatters it ? Wo have done enough for the prosperity of- peace, for the arts, science, industry, and pro gress of humanity. What has humanity done for—us what advantages have we derived from the disinterested services which we have ren dered the civilized world. We have not even obtained barren sympathy; for there is no peo ple which does not smile at our downfall, and only isolated voices in charity dole ont to ns a few words of pity. There will be a truce, bnt no durable peace for generations who groan be neath their yoke. France—like those maimed, who suffer after a limb is amputated, from im aginary pain in the severed members—will have no rest untii its fragments be collected into the original whole. So much the worse for Europe, if it trembles at our convulsions. We have no longer any bowels of compassion, no heart save for ourselves. What matters it to us, tho agita tion and disturbance of others. We had enough of chivalry, enough of generosity,' enough of sacrifice and disinterestedness for others. We are egotists now, and henceforth will dream only of our scattered members, children sepa rated from us, the flesh of onr flesh violently tom away from onr quivering body. All is not yet ruined, thank God. The Chorpennlug Job. The World of Tuesday says that in the House of Representatives on Monday, there was a fearful expose of tho dark ways and corrupt practices of the lobby, and its influence on Con gress. The Hoaso Appropriation Committee learned last week that the Treasury Department was about to pay a draft drawn on its onrrent appropriation by the Postmaster-General for neatly half a million of dollars, to pay the claim of one George Choipening for an ancient mail service, which had been repudiated by the Fost- ofice Department lor the last ten years. This led to the passage of a resolution asking for a suspension of tho parent until an inves tigation could be made by tbs commissioner. This investigation proved a most.remarkable state of things: That one of the counsel of tho claimant was ex-First Assistant Postmaster-Gen eral Earle, late law partner of Postmaster-Gen eral Creswell; that the joint resolution to pay the claim was pat through tho House by John Cessna, of Pennsylvania, under a suspension of the rales, without a report or debate; that it passed the Senate tho same day, and was signed soon thereafter by the President, comprising in all bnt eighteen hours; that Earle submitted what purported to bo a report of tho House Postal Committee to Creswell in favor of this, but which proved to be without the slightest foundation—no snob report ever having been made by said committee, or ever having been oven discussed by them; that Creswell, instead of waiting for an application to pay the claim, drew a draft against the general fund for it; and that he paid it in face of reports made by Postmaster-Generals Brown, Holt, Blair, Ran dall and himself, that this claim had no foun dation in law or eqnity. These and many other facts were brought to the attention of the House by Mr. Dawes and Mr. Beck, and created such consternation that members generally left their scats and gathered around tho speakers. When they concluded a resolution was unanimously passed repealing the joint resolution to pay the claim. Even Mr. Cessna, who pushed the job originally, sat in his seat and never said a word. Old and New for February is at hand. This magazine leads off with a Boreal story by Mrs. H. B. Stow, under the title of Pink and White Tyranny. Roberts Brothers, 143 Washington atreet. 1 For the Telegraph and Messenger. To My Wife in Heaven. When twilight shrouds tho earth in gray And all the world is hushed and still, And naught is heard, save far away In the dense woods, the whippoorwill, With memories of tho past and gone, • Ah! How the heart is thrilled anew; Then through the flowers I go alone To look on these and thinl; of yon. And wandering there I seem to hear, As once they came so sweet to me, Thy gentle words fall on mine ear, And wake my heart to memory. ’Tis then I lift my soul in prayer To God and look on Heavon’s blue And feel tho purity that’s there, And think of you—and think of you. O! shall I, when this restless life, So fail of sorrowing thought has fled, Come homo to you, my cherished wife. In that bleat bluo hung overhead ? Shall I, in everlasting bliss, As hope now whispers, dearest Sue, In that bright world as here in this, Be always with' and loving you ? Then welcome death—eternity, Tho’ filled with grief, could never be More bitter in its agony Than in your absence, time to me. But hope and promise point above, And I will cherish this as true, And constant in enduring love, Will wait, and pray, and think of you. New Orleans, September 17,1870. W. H. S. Woman Suffrage.—Mesdamea Sherman and Daldgren, in a note to Mr. Bingham, Chairman of tho House Judiciary Committee, say: The effort we have made to give a voice and some expression to the known wishes of the masses of onr countrywomen has been in great part deprecated by them as giving entirely too much importance to a madness, which they think, if left to rnn its coarse, must die out of itself. It is this belief alone which at this mo ment keeps the lips of hundreds of thousands closed. Our respectable women are also un willing to meet the scandalous abuse and vitu peration with which the Suffragists assail every one who dares to protest against tli6ir measures. The Holden Impeachment.—The Wilming ton Journal of Thursday says: Rumor from Raleigh has it that the impeach ment managers are eliciting, in their informal investigations, ample testimony from Radical sources to sustain their bill of indictment in tho fullest particulars. We have volume one, number one, of the Geor gia Medical Companion published at Atlanta, and edited by T. S. Powell, D. M., and W. T. Gold smith, M. D.

Dr. SCHENCK advises Consumptives to ko to Florida in Winter, Raving, for the last, thirty-five years, devoted my wnple time and attention to the study of lung diseases and consumption, I feel that I understand fully the course that ought to bo pursued to restore a tolerably bad case of diseased lungs to healthy soundness. The first and most important step is for tho patient to avoid taking cold, and the best of all places on this continent for this purpose in winter, is Florida, well down m the State* whore the temperature is rcgular a and not subject to such variations aa in more North- • ® n latitudes., Palatka is a point I can recommend. A good hotel is kept there by Peterman. Last winter j I saw several persons tnere whoso lungs had been badly diseased, but who. under the healing influence of the climate and my medicines, were getting well. One hundred miles further down the river is a point which I would prefer to Palatka, as the temperature is more even and the air dry and bracing. Mellon- villo and Enterprise are located there. I should give a decided preference to Mellonville. It is two mile3 from river or lake, and it seems almost impossible to take cold thoro. The tables in Florida might be bet ter, and patients complain at times, bat that is a good sign,as it indicates a return of appetite, and when this is the case they generally increase in flesh, and then the lung3 must heal. Jacksonville, Hibcrnin, Green Cove, and many other places in various parts of Florida, can bo safe ly recommended to consumptives in winter. My reasons for saying so are that patients are less liable to take cold there than where there is a less even temperature, and it • is not necessary to say that where a consumptive person exposes himself to fre quent colds ho is certain to die shortly. Therefore, my advice is, go well down into the State out of the reach of prevailing east winds and fogs. Jackson ville, or almost any other of tho localities I have named, will benefit those who aro troubled with a torpid liver, a disordered stomach, deranged bowels, soro tbroat or cough, but for those whoso lungs aro diseased a more southern point is earnestly recom mended, . For fifteen years prior to 1869, 1 was professionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia every week, where I saw and examined on an aver age fire hundred patients a week. A practice so ex tensive, embracing every possible phase of lung dis ease, has enabled me to understand the diseasefully, and hence, my caution in regard to taking cold. A person may take vast quantities of “Schenek’a Pul monic Syrup, Soawocd Tonic and Mandrake Pills,” and yet die if ho doos not avoid taking cold. In Florida, nearly everybody .is using Sehcnck’s Mandrake Pills, for the climate is more likely to produce bilious habits than moro northern latitudes. It is a well established fact that natives of Florida rarely die of consumption, especially those of tho southern part On the other handj in New England, one third, at least of the population die of this ter rible disease. In the Middle States it does not pre vail so largely, still thero are many thousands of cases thero. What a va;t percentage of life wonld bo saved if consumptives were as easily alarmed in rega-d to takieg fresh cold as they are about scarlet fever, small pox, etc. But they are not. They tako what they term a little cold, which they aro cred ulous euousn to believe will wear off in a few days. They pay no attention to it. ani hence it lays tbo foundation for at other and another still, until the lungs are d seased beyond all hope for cure. My advice to persons whose lungs aro affected even slightly, is. to la- in a stock of Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup,. Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic, and Schenck’s Mandrako Pills, and go to Florida. I recommend those particular medicines because I am thoroughly acquainted with their action. I know that where they are used in strict accordance with my directions they will do the work that is required. Tois accom plished, nature will do the rest. Tho physician who prescribes for cold, cough or nightsweats, and then advises tho patient to walk or ride out every day, will be sure to bnvo a corpse on his hands Before long. My plan is to give my three Medicines, in accord ance with tbo printed directions, except in some cases where a freer a so of the Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone to the stomach— to get up. a good appetite, it is always a good sign when a patient begins to grow hungry. I have hopes of such. With a relish for food and the gratification of that relish comes good blood, and with it moro flesh, which is closely followed by a healing of the lungs. Then thecoughloosens and abates,tho exeep- ing chills and clammy night-sweat3 no longer pros trate and annoy, and tho patient gets well, provided he avoids taking cold. Now there aro many consumptives who have not tho moans to go to Florida. The question may bo asked, is there no hope forsuoh ? Certainly thero is. My advice tosueh is. and ever has been, to stay in a warm room during the winter, with a temperature of about seventy degrees, which should bekept regularly at that point, by means of a thermometer. Let such a patient take his exerciso within the limits of the room by walking up and down as much as his strength will permit, iu order to keep up a healthy circulation ol tho blood. I have cured thousands by this system, and can do so again. Consumption is as easily cured as any other disease if it is taken in time, and the proper kind of treatment ia pursued. Tho factstands undisputed on record that Schonck’s Pulmonio Syr up, Mandrake Pills, and Seaweed Tonio have cured very many of what seemed to be hopeless cases of consumption. Go whoro you will, you will bealmost certain to find some poor consumptive who .has been rescued from the very jaws of death by their use. So far as tbo Mandrake Pills are concerned, every body should keep a supply of them on hand. They act on tho liver better than calomel, and leave none of its hurtful effects behind. In fact they aro excel lent in all caso3 where a purgative medicine is re quired. If you hare partaken too freely of fruit, and diarrhea ensues, a dose of Mandrakes will cure you. If you aro subject tosick headache, tako a dose of tho Mandrakes and they wtllrolieve you in two hours. If you would obviate the effect of a change of water, or the too free indulgence in fruit, take one of the Mandrakes every night or every other night, and you may then drink water and eat watermelons, pears, apples, plums, peaches or corn, without the risk of boing mado sick by them. They will protect those who live in damp situations against chills and fevor3. Try them. They aro perfectly harmless. They can do you good only. . _ . I have abandoned my professional visits to Boston and Now York, but continue to see patients at my charged five dollars. The Ro3pirometer declares the exact condition oftholungs.and patients can readily learn whether they aro curablo or not. But I desire it distinctly understood that the valuo of my medi cines depends entirely upon their being tnken strict ly according to directions. . , , In conclusion, 1 will say that when persons take my medicines, and their systems are brought into a hoaltby condition thoreby, they are not so liable to take cold, yet'no one with diseased lungs can bear a sudden change oi atmosphere without the liability of greater or less irritation of tho bronchial tubes. Full directions in all languages accompany my medicines, so explicit and clear, that any one can use them without consulting mo, and canbobonght from any druggist. „ „ _ J. R. SCHENCK, M.

FARMERS, LOOK TOYOUR INTERESTS. HOME-MADE FERTILIZER. XXTHY cannot every intelligent farmer organize V V a guano company on his own farm, he and his laborers taking all the stock ?. There is no planta tion in the country that does not afford ample and the richest material to bo used as a basis. The chemicals necessary to utilize its material are well known, and can be obtained in abundance. Tho enterprise and energy of a few practical men have the past season proven that as good or better Cora or Cotton can be mado from tbo Home-Made Fer tilizer as may be yielded by any of tho nostrums sold at such extravagant prices. Experience shows that where lot manure or other rich deposite can bo obtained, it answers a better purpose than dry swamp earth. In that case eight (8) barrels ot the lot manure should be used with tho quantity of chemicals, bones, etc., instead of five (5) barrels of dry muck. This improves the quality and lessens tho prioe of the fertilizer, by increasing tho weight. Some have added pure Peruvian Guano to the compound, in the proportion of 150 to 20Q pounds, bnt five or six bushels of cotton seed has been found to be of equal service as the Peruvian, and is much cheaper. In all cases, the Bones and Plaster of Paris should first be well mixed with tho •Lot Manure or rich earth, and then the barrel of mixed chemicals dissolved in a little water and thoroughly incorporated. Tho Chemicals,Bones, Plaster of Pans, etc., sold by ua, wo guarantee to be of .the very best quality. We call particular at tention to our preparation of Bones, as it is Bone dissolved in Sulphuric Acid, and dried with Bone Charcoal. As thero will be an active demand for these chemicals, parties who wish a snpply should send in their orders early. Terms cash, or credit with approved acceptance. L. W.
