our Carriers, to be handed in by the 25th inst
Hero is a chance for Poets.
The Ballet Troupe.
This is the last night of their performance in
this city, and M : lle. Pougard takes her Benefit.
This should be enough to insure a full house of
itself, for she has nightly gained the good will of
those who have patronized Concert Hall during
the past week. The bill offered is an excellent
one, commencing with La Bayadere , then a fun
exciting Farce , to conclude with the Maja of Se
ville. M’lle. Pouguad appears in both Ballets, as
does also M’lles. Lavigne and Buiaw, Mons.
Corby, Mons. Mege, and Mons. Cornet. This
corps i 3 decidedly the best we have ever had the
pleasure of seeing in Augusta, and such of our
citizens as do not attend this evening, will lose
a rich treat, one that some time will elapse be
fore they will have an opportunity of enjoying
again. We hope on this occasion to see the Hall
crowded.
The Brunswick News undeistands that the

Gin House Burned. —The Columbus Enquir
er, of the 13th says: We regret to learn that the
Gin House of James H. Jones, Jr. Esq , in the
lower part of this county, was burned on the
<>th inst., with about 70,000 pounds of seed cot
ton. The fire occurred by the carelessness of
the white and negro children playing about tbe
Gin House, having matches with them. The
loss is a very heavy one on Mr. Jones.
Death of Charles Hartridge.— The Sa
vannah Republican says: We regret to an
nounce the death, at his residence in this city, at
11 o’clock Tuesday night, of Mr. Charles Hart
j ridge. He was attacked with paralysis on Sun
day afternoon while out riding, after which he
was unable to speak up to the time of his death.
Mr. H. was about fifty seven years of age, and
was one of the largest and most successful cot
ton factors in our city. He was well known,
not only in Savannah, but throughout a large
portion of the interior, and was everywhere es
teemed as a straightforward, upright, and ener
getic citizen. His loss will be severely felt
both by the people of this place and his many
friends in the country, to whom he had proved a
reliable and obliged agent. *
Mr. H. was a native of Savannah, and had
been engaged in active business here, from early
manhood to the time of his decease.
Dividend.—lt will be seen (says the Savan
nah stews,) by the notice injour advertising col
umns that Jhe directors of the Ogeechee Plank
Road Company have declared the handsome div
idend of $4 per share for the past six mLnths.
The fact is a gratifying commentary on the ex
cellent management of the affairs of the Plank
Road Company. We hope the success which
has attended this enterprize, will induce the con
struction of other similar roads in our vicinity.
A bill has passed the Alabama Legislature by
which one hundred bushels of corn are exempt

brilliant success, having captured the first class
fortress of Soucham Khan and Fort Usurghetti.
In Servia affairs were unsatisfactory, and the
Servians had demanded from the Sultan an exe

fluence, notwithstanding it has promised to ob
serve a strict neutrality.
It is reported that a revolution had broken out

Further Particulars of the Fire in N. York.
At the burning of the establishment of the
Messrs. Harper, on Saturday, the 10th inst., large
numbers of girls escaped safely from the upper
stories to the ground by means of ladders—some
in the arms of firemen, and some unaided. One
(Miss Elizabeth Totten, aged 16 years) leaped
from an upper window, not impelled by fright,
but by the pressure of the tire, and dislocated her
thigh upward and backward. Another young
lady, Miss Adelia Cox, aged 15 years, was miss
ed for several hours, but, working her way
through the crowd, was found safe at home at
night. The buildings of the Harpers, some
twelve in number, were not all that were burn
ed. Two houses of Geo. E. Cooledge & Brother
—the very old school book publishers—the whole
sale drug store of YV. W. Thayer, once famous as
a mansion, then as a hotel, now as an emigrant
boarding house; the old Walton House; and the
F ranklin Square Hotel, on the opposite side of
Pearl street, were burned down. In revolution
ary times the Walton House was the head-quar
ters, first, of the British Governor, Sir Henry
Clinton, and, afterwards, it was the temporary
residence of General Washington.
Ihe stereotype plates qf> the Harpers—and
they of course keep stereotypes of all their works
—are kept in vaults under the streets, so that
most of them—all that were not on some of their
forty presses, or either just off or to go on—are
safe.
The January number of their Magazine was
almost ready to be issued. It is said that they
are accustomed to take three sets of stereotypes
of each number, and that this is necessary to en
able them to work it off in time for the day of
issue. If so, the subscribers may well doubt
whether they will get the New Year’s num
ber punctually. The various losses and insu
rance aie as lollows:

Among many new books which were con
•umed is “Dr. Kane’s History of his ArcticJ2x- j
pleNUep? g mgfl fiietoe!? Mulcted
»ngtav!hgs, which haa beetifefidy for sortie
day 3, but vvaa kept back until a larger supply
could be secured. We believe that Henry Grin
nell, Esq., had received a copy of the work, so
that it will not have to be re-written as well as
re-issued. The insurance of the Harpers was el
lected in a great number of companies, only one
company having over $5,000. That one is an
English company, which has an agency in Bos
ton. By this fire about 1,000 hands are thrown
out of work.
The Tribune says that most of the stereotype
plates of the Harpers, to the value of about four
hundred thousand dollars , were fortunately stored
in fire-proof vaults beneath the street, and are
consequently saved. Plates to the value of about
SIO,OOO, as nearly as can be judged, were in dif
ferent parts of the building, and are lost. The
last sheets of Harper for December had just been
put to press, and the whole are gone ; the Picto
rial Bible, another publication of importance, is
wholly destroyed, besides others too numerous
to mention.
Bearer of Dispaches. —Among the passen
gers who arrived last evening (Sunday) by the
mail steamship Texas, from Vera Cruz, was Mr.
J. McLeod Murphy, with important despatches
from Mr. Gadsden, our Minister to Mexico. Mr.
Murphy will leave this evening for Washing
ton, taking with him the good wishes of his ma
ny warm friends in this city.— N. O. Delta, 12 th

The Ramset Route to California. —QiucJc
Tine. —Letters and papers for California, which
left here by the steamship Texas, on the Ist of
November, reached San Francisco, by the Mexi
can overland route, inside of sixteen days. If
this is not annihilating time and space, we know
not what is.— lb.
The Columbia South Carolinian learns that
Professor C. F. MCay, has signified his inten
tion to accept the Professorship of Mathematics
and Mechanical Philosophy, to which he was re
cently elected, on the declination ot Prof.
Gibbes, of the Charleston College, Professor Mc-
Cay will no doubt prove a valuable acquisition
and accession to the corps of instruction of the
State College. VVe see, by the way, that his
name has been variously given—we believe we
have presented it correctly. Speaking of names,
we may’ also state that our fellow-citizen re
cently promoted to the Judgeship vacated by his
Honor Judge Frost, does not follow the Munroe
doctrine in his name, but subscribes himself
Munro. Although a nominal matter, correctness
in these particulars is alway s adesireble point.—

Wonderful and Extraordinary Cure
of Rheumatism of twenty years' stand
ing—Never in my life have I had so much pleasure
in doing any thing as in giving this certificate to
the world, and I hope it may bo the cause of thou
sands of my fellow creatures being relieved from
that dreadful disease, Rheumatism. My wife has
been afflicted with it for twenty years, most of tho
time suffering excruciating pains in every part
of her body. Having no appetite whatever, she
was reduced to almost a skeleton. So violent wore
tho pains that she seldom could sleep without tak
ing largo doses of opium. Every joint was swelled
very much, and her knees, hands and neck covered
with large lumps. Sho could do no kind of work,
the sinews and muscles being so hard and contract
ed that her li,mbs were drawn together, so that she
was obiged to bo in bed constantly. In this condi
tion she had been for twenty years, without ever
getting any relief from every thing she used, until
sho commenced tho use of li. G. Farrell's Arabian
Liniment, the first bottle of which produced a great
change. She has now used five bottles, and the
swellings have nearly all gone down ; pain has en
tirely left hor; sho sloeps well and soundly j is
more fleshy than ever she was in hor life; has an
excellent appetite, and spins and sews all day. By
tho use of a few bottles more she mus be as well as
over she was. If any one doubts this wonderful
cure, he has only to call at my residence, near Pe
oria, and learn the circumstances from my wife’s
own lips, or ho can further enquire of any of my
neighbors. Samuel Elson.
H. G. Farrell's Liniment is also an excellent rem
edy for palsy, sprains, bruises, cramps, chilblains,
burns, pains, toothache, sore eyes, etc., and in
horses or cattle is tho best remedy in the world
where an extornal application is required.
Look out for Counterfeits. —The public are cau
tionedagainst another counterfeit, which has late
ly made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Ara
bian Liniment, the most dangerous of all the coun
terfeits, because his having the name of Farr el-,
many will buy it in good faith, without tho knov -
ledge that a counterfeit exists, and they will, per
haps, only discover thoir error when the spurious
mixture has wrought its evil effects.
The genuinoarticle is manufactured only by II
G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole
sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois* j
to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad
dressed. Be sure you getit with tho letters H. G.
