THE SOURCES OF THE NILE- We have late and authentic news from that indomitable African explorer, Dr. Li\ uigstone, that he is not only alive and wtil, but that in prosecuting’ his graphical researches he has discovered that one of the sources of the Nile, empty ing into the great lake Victoria Nyanza rises some ten degrees sonth of the equator! If this be true the Nile becomes the longest river in the world, eclipsing even the tremendous sweep of the Missouri from its sources to the Mississippi and thence to n.t aulf. A fair idea of the long lino of the Nile may be formed from the fact that the distance between its last re ported source and its delta along the Mediterranean, is equal to the distance Irorn Lima, in Peru, to the City of New Orleans, or from the City of Mexico away up to Mount St. Klias, the end of the backbone of this continent, in Alaska. '‘L then, may the ancient river of Lgypt be called the Mighty Nile. Put we need go no further on the one hand than into the mountains of Abys sinia, whence the Blue Nile and the Al oai.i, tributaries of the main stream, descend, and, on the other hand, to the h’A ‘s Ail ert and Victoria Nyanza, the great reservoirs of the white Nile or Hia iu river, in order to establish the life* giving and never-failing stream of Egypt in its peculiar features, as the most won derful in the world. From the deluging rains which, from the Indian ocean are borne and discharged upon the Abyssini an mountains and tablelands, come the enriching annual overflow of Egypt, while from the abounding equatorial rains of the lofty regions around lakes Albert and Victoria-flows that cxhaustlesa supply of the main stream which, for fifteen hun dred miles through a burning desert, bears still its ample volume to the sea. These facts have been fully established by the explore lions of that intelligent traveler and dashing son of Nimrod, Sir Samuel Baker, in conjunction with the equatorial discoveries of Speke, Grant, and Burton. . Baker, in the service of the enterprising Egyptian Viceroy, is now at the head of a powerful expedition cii route to take possession of the whole line of the Nile, and should Livingstone remain a few months longer ‘‘prospecting*’ around these equatorial lakes, Baker wdl probable find him and bring him off. Such a meeting vvouM be an event for a general festival among the geographical societies throughout lou World. , t ■'» - shington, Octo or 4.—A fall New v- * 1..,- mail lias been received, including tLic -«kh.

The Wheeler & Wilson Machines are vastly superior in their adaptation arid use upon all classes of work for domestic purposes. One great consideration in the use of sewing-ma chines is the expense of repairs. From the ease of all its mechanical movements, the Wheeler A Wilson Machine is sub ject to Imt slight wear, and the expense of repair is very slight in comparison with other machines. lam fully con vinced that they do not cost one fifth of that ot any other two-thread machine.

Buena Vista, Ga. Oct. B—ts. —B»-«—■! A TORPID SYSTEM. Sometimes, without any assignable cause, the physical strength and animal spirits give away, and a strange torpor lulls alike on the body and intellect. r l here is little or no pain perhaps, but the natural vigor and elasticity of the nervous and muscular system seems to have departed, and an indifference to the pleasures of life, and even of its grave responsibilities, takes the place of that earnest interest in both which charac terizes every well balauccd mind when in a healthy condition. I his state of partial collapse is often the premonitory symptoms of some serious malady. It indicates unmis takably that the vital powers are lan guishing and need a stimulant. In such cases the effect of a few doses of Ilostet tor’s Stomach Bitters is wonderfully beneficial. The great, tonic w T akes up the system from its drowse. The secretions and and the circulation receive anew impetus. Ihe relaxed nerves recover their elasticity under the operations of the specific, like the slackened strength of a musical instrument in the process o lining. Lethargy and debility are re* placed by energy and vigor, the spirits use, and life that almost seemed a bur den with the season of depression lasted, becomes once more ’ enjoyable. That such a radical change should be produc ed by a remedy entirely devoid of the powerful alkaloids and minerals so ex tensively used in modern practice, may seem incredible to those who pin their faith on the medicinal efficacy of active poisons, but if these skeptics will take the trouble to enquire of those who have tested the corrective and alterative vir fues of the Bitters under the (fircum stanccs described, they will find the statement to be true.
