One year's subscription to our daily paper ■will be given for the best New Years Address for 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 ship Agnes as soon as she discharges her present cargo, will proceed to England for more Iron for the Brunswick and Florida Railroad. The edi tor says the iron will not all be discharged be fore the Ist of January. 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 ed from execution. Great Match Race.—The great match race for SIO,OOO, between Cordelia Reed and Com promise, came off at Nashville on the 3d inst,. and was won by Compromise in two heats, fufiiw* 3U&m f Am. The R :sso-Turkish war has made but little prcgres3, but success so far has been with the Turks. It is reported that an alliance, offensive and defensive have been formed between England and France, and between Spain and Sardinia. The Emperor of Russia, it is anticipated, will issue another manifesto. A new project for amicably settling matters, has been proposed by Austria, and she has sug gested that a conference should be held either at Vienna, Pans or London, and it is reported that the Powers are disposed to acquiesence in such a meeting, and are in favor of inviting Russia and Turkey to send delegates thereto. Skirmishing along the banks of the Danube continued. A Turkish steamer had captured the Russian frigate Vladimar, in the Black Sea, and a Turkish ship had captured a Russian frigate, after a desperate conflict. The allied fleets remained at their anchorage. The Turkish fleet intended to attack Sebastopol, and after the 30th ult. Russian shipping was li able to seizure by the Turks. The Sultan had declined to receive further treasures lrom the Ulemans, being unwilling to make the w r ar a religious one. Apartments were being prepared at Adiiano ple for the reception of the Sultan. In Asia, the Turks had met with the most 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 quatur for a Russian Consul, which leads the Porte to believe that Servia is under Russian in fluence, notwithstanding it has promised to ob serve a strict neutrality. It is reported that a revolution had broken out in Portugal in favor of Don Miguel. Columbia, Dec 15. —South Carolina Legisla ture.—ln the Senate, the bill to reduce the Capi tal otthe Bank of Charleston to $1,000,000, was rejected by a vote of 28 to 12. The Judiciary Reform Bill was also laid on the table. Mr. McCrady’s municipal subscription bill has passed the House. Both Houses have passed the bill to amend the charter of the Firemans’ Insurance Company of Charleston, and the Resolution authorizing the Governor to present a sword to Capt. Ingraham. The gentlemen nominated by the Joint Com mittee of both Houses as Trustees ol the South Carolina College have been elected. Baltimore, Dec. 15.— Congressional— In the U. S. Senate on Wednesday no business of any importance was transacted. In the House ot Representatives the resolu tions to purchase Mount Vernon were warmly discussed, but no decision was arrived at. The Senate resolution to change the mode of appointment of Assistant Secreta y ol the Trea sury, elicited considerable discussion, Mr. Pres ley Ewing ol Kentucky, regarding it is an indi rect assault on Mr. Guthrie, which Mr. Thomas H. Bayly, of Va.,and Mr. George S. Houston of Alabama, denied. Baltimore, Dec. 15. — The Humbolt an Entire Wreck. —The steam ship Humboldt has gone en tirely to pieces at Halifax. Baltimore. Dec. 15.— More Alleged Fillibus terism. —It is rumored in Washington that an ex pedition, four thousand strong, will sail for Cuba in the middle ot February, from New Orleans. Baltimore, Dec. 15.— John Milchel. —John Mitchel, the Irish patriot, has agreed to visit Baltimore. Baltimore, Dec. 15.— Boston Municipal Elec tions.—The Demociats were generally successful in the municipal elections held on Thursday in Boston. [Telegraphed for the Baltimore Suit ] Pittsburg, Dec. 12. — The Pope’s Nuncio at Pittsburg. —Bedini, the Pope’s Nuncio, was yes terday escorted to Church in this city, by a large procession, composed of the different Roman Ca tholic Societies, bearing banners with inscrip tions. Considerable excitement ensued, and af terservice, when the Nuncio, accompanied by Bishop O'Conner, was returning to his carriage, some lioters stepped forward and puffed cigars into their faces. One rudely pushed Bishop O’- Conner, mistaking him for the Nucnio. The ri oters were chastised on the spot. During the performance of Mass, Bishop O’- Conner received a letter from Mayor Riddle, stating that complaint had been made that the Sabbath was about to be violated by firing can non, music, See ., and asking the Bishop to inter pose. The Bishop replied that he had no knowl edge of such a demonstration, which would be made without his approval. The Mayor res ponded, in anothei letter, in which he recogniz ed the right of the movement in honor of the Pope’s Ambassador, and assured the Bishop of protection against disorderly and lawless inter ference. Washington, Dec. 13.— U. S. Supreme Court. —Montgomery Blair and Nathaniel Hatch, of the Distnct of Columbia, were admitted to prac tice at the bar of the Supreme Court this morn ing. Nos. 1 and 2.

A message wa3 received from the President, nominating a large number of postmasters, which was received and referred. Senator Clay has arrived, and will take his seat to-moi row. Gavazzi is here, and is announced to lecture at Carusi’s Saloon this evening. I'here are threats and indications of a row. A strong force of police has been sent there. 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: Loss. Insured.

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 inst. 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.— Ch. Courier , 15/A inst..

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. before Farrell’s, thus —H. G. FARRELL’S—and hissiguaturo on the wrapper, and all others are counterfeits.
