Mine horse is shloped, and I’m avraid
He hash been daken, or shtolen, or shtrayed;
Mine pig plaek horse dat looks so shpry,
Tout fourteen Oder twelve hands high.
He has peon got shust four leets plaek,
Mit ehtripcd spots all down his pack,
Two legs pefore and two pehind—
Pe shure you keep all dis in mind-
He’s plaek all over, dat is true,
All but his race, and dat’s plaek too;
He drots and ganters, vaux and paces,
And outvorks Pelzebub in draces;
And ven he gallops in der shtreet,
He vaux upon his legs and feet;
Von leg goes down and den de oder,
Und always follows von anoder;
He has dwo ears shtuck ’pon his head,
Bote of dein's naider white nor red,
But bote alike, shust von, you see,
Ish placker den de oder pe;
He's got two eyes dat looks von vay,
Only he lost von toder day.
And ven you vish to dake a ride,
Shunip on his back on tudder side,
And it is shust as gospel drue,
De eye vat’s plind viil not see you.
Hisdail s pehind him long and shlook,
Only I cut him off last week,
And derefora ’tis not any more
As half so longer as pefore.
He cocks his ear and looks so gay,
And vill not shtart and run away;
But ven he s scar't. he make von sbpring,
Andshumps about like every ding;
He rides apout mit shaiz and cart,
I never see such horse tor shmart;
And sometimes he go on de road,

But pag of corn, and takes do track,
Mit little pay upon his pack.

And if he prings der ties alve,

Mitout no questions ax’d py me,
By mine advertisement you’ll see,

Near Schtofllefunk’s.
Thirty-Third Congress.—First Session.
SENATE.
Washington, Dec. 19.— The session com
menced at quarter past 12 o’clock. Mr. Clay
presented the credentials ot Mr. Fitzpatrick,
Senator from Ala., in the place of Mr. King, re
signed—appeared and sworn.
Mr. Norris asked the unanimous consent to
introduce resolutions touching the death of his
colleague, Mr. Atherton.
The rules of the Senate declaring it unneces
sary to adopt any proceedings when the death of
a member occurs during the recess, consent was
given.
Mr. Norris addressed the Senate as follows:
Mr. President: —Before offering the resolution,
which, by toe kind indulgence of the Senate I
am enabled to present at this time, I will sub
mit a tew remarks in connection with the sub
ject. During the four years I have been honored
with a seat in tl is chamber, often has the at
tention ot the Senate been arrested from its or
dinary business to the con temp ation of the
sole,?tn scenes of death. Os those who have been
associated with us here during that brief period,
no less than nine have passed to their final ac
count.
The most distinguished minds of the land, I
might well say of the world, have’been removed
from us by the hand of death. Their wisdom to
counsel, their eloquence to inspire, live only in
the history of the past.
It seems to me that, if ever there was a body
of men taught by the admonitions of an all-wise
Providence the utter emptiness of the highest
earthly places of honor and trust, that body is
the Senate of the United States. While the path
way of death has been thronged by our fellow
countrymen, who have conferred upon us the
high place we occupy, that dark path-way has
also been ttod by an unprecedented number of
our associates, all hastening to and mingling to
gether in the same common resting place—the
grave.
l he last on the catalogue of the fated number
of our associates, was my esteemed and lament
ed friend and colleague, Charles Gordon Ather
ton, who, at the time of his recent death, was a
member of this body, from the State of New
Hamphire. He died suddenly at Manchester, in
that State, on the 15th of November last, of para
lysis. On the morning of the 10th he came into
the court-room in that city, where he had been
actively and laboriously enaged some two or
three weeks, in the discharge of professional
duties, apparently as full of health and spirits as
any of us now enjoy, and with the brightest
prospects of a useful and distinguished future.
Soon after coming into the court, while conver
sing with a member of the bar, his countenance
suddenly changed, and his tongue refused its ut
terance. His left side was paralyzed. He was
immediately removed to his lodgings, and the
ablest medical aid procured. During the re
. reminder of that day, Thursday, and the next, he
aeemed fully conscious of his condition, and com
municated with his friends, but on Saturday he
eunk into a state of unconsciouness, from which
he never awoke but coat nued to sink gradually
under the force of the attack, until Tuesday, the
loth, at one o’clock, p. m., when he breathed his
last.
Thus abruptly has been stricken down, in an
unexpected moment, our late esteemed associate,
in the meridian of physical and intellectual man
hood. He left us at the close of the last special
session with as well grounded expectations of
being here to-day as any member of this body;
but alas, that seat has been vacated. How sud
denly does t Provideuce, by his inscrutable de
crees, blast our fondest anticipations, and teach
us the true tenure of man’s estate—the true, yet
frail tenure of all earthly honor and station, and
of life itself. Indeed, what are all these but an
empty inheritance, except so far as public pros
perity—to the happiness and permanent good of
the race.
Mr. Atherton left no children. His parents,
and indeed the whole of hi* father’s family, had
gone before him to the tomb. Nevertheless, he
died amid a large circle of ardent and cherished
friends, who sincerely mourn his death. He was
descended from ancestors distinguished in the
history of his State. His grandfather, Joshua
Atherton, was a lawyer of much eminence, and
settled early at Amherst, a shire town in Hills
borough county : was a member of the conven
tion which ratified the Constitution of theUn -
ted States, and subsequently a Senator and At- i
torney General of New Hampshire. His father,
Charles H. Atherton, was also a thoroughly- '•
read and accomplished lawyer, a man of brilliant ■
genius and a fine orator. He was frequently a
member ot the State Legislature, and a member
o! the House of Representatives in the fourteenth
Congress.
The subject of my present remarks was born ;
at Amherst, Hillsborough county. New Hamp
shire, at the residence of his father and grand
father, on the 4th day of July, 1804. He ex
hibited at a very early age, a strong taste for
classic literature, and a capicity to master with I
remarkable quickness and ease the fundamental
element of a classic and liberal education.. He'
entered Cambridge University, in 1818, being
then only fourteen years of age, and was gradu- 1
afed in 1822, beloved and esteemed by the lacul
ty and his fellow students. His college life was
exemplary, and his standing as a scholar was
among the first of his ciass.
After leaving college he studied law in trie of
fice of his father, and was admitted to the bar at ;
the age of twenty-one years, and established j
himself in his profession at Nashua in his native
county, where he resided until his recent death.
Mr. Atherton has been much in public life—a
circumstance showing better perhaps than any 1
other test, the high estimation in which he was
held for fidelity—and capacity—by the people of
jlif State. In 1830 he w»a* chosen a member ol i
fcfc* I'CgiafitiHe, and in 1091 tie w**ei«cki J
irtary of the Senate. He was again chosen aj
member of the Legislature in 1833, and contin- j
ued a member until 1836, and was the Speaker ’
of the House of Representatives for three suc
cessive years. He was a member of the House
of Representatives of the United States for the
twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh
Congresses.
In 1842, he was chosen by the Legislature of
New Hampshire a member of this body for tlae
term of six years. After having served out bis
term, he retired from public life and resumed the
practice of his profession. In 1850, he was elect
ed to the convention balled to revise the Consti
tution of New Hampshire. In 1852, he was
again elected to represent his State in the Senate
of the United States foJ six years, and took his
seat here on the fourth of March last.
From the tasks of the school room to the high
duties of a Senator he well and ably acted his
part. As a scholar he was thorough, enthusias
tic and accomplished—as a lawyer, a master in
the profession, quick of expression, yet always
safe and judicious in counsel. As an advocate,
forcible and logical, oftentimes soaring into the
highest regions of forensic eloquence. As a
statesman, he was fearless and just, enlightened
and able. While tenacious of the interest of his
immediate constituents, he was always liberal
and just towards the interests of every other sec
tion of the country, taking the Constitution as
the great chart to guide and limit his action. As
a patriot, his views were as broad as the confed
eracy, adhering with inflexible firmness to those
conservative and constitutional principles which
secure to every section of our common country
the rights peculiar to each. He acknowledged
no political law higher or more sacred for his
rule ol conduct here, than that sacr<*d instru
ment which we are all sworn to support. As a
friend he was ever faithful and true.
The deattiof such a man is not merely a sad
bereavement to the State whose immediite re
presentative he was, but a calamity, co-exten
sive with the Union, reaching as deep as the
foundation of those great principles of republi
can liberty, on which our prosperity and happi
ness as a united people depend.
This lamentable event again teaches us the
all-important and solemn lesson to be also ready,
for vve know not the moment when we too shall
be called to our final accouat.
Sir, while we in com mo i with his numerous
friends lament his death, let us not forget that
there is one of his own immediate lamily circle
left behind, with whom we can only sympa
thise. I mean the loved and cherished partner
ot hi* youth, the amiable and accomplished com
panion of his maturer manhood, who, with
stricken heart and a *oothing care that none but
a woman can can bestow, watched with anxious
solicitude the fitful pulsations of sinking na
ture, and bathed his aching head with her tears.
While we extend to her our deepest sympathies,
it is God alone can heal the crushed heart. I of
fer the following resolutions:—
Resolved , 'I hat the Senate deeply laments the
death ot the Hon. Charles Gordon Atherton,
who, at the time of his decease, was a member
of this body Irom ihe State of New Hampshire,
and tenders to his widow a sincere sympathy in
this most afflicting bereavemeinent.
Resolved , That the Secretaiy communicate a
copy of the foregoing resolution for the widow
ot the deceased, and further, that he communi
cate these proceedings to the House of Represen
tatives.
Mr. Hunter seconded the resolutions, in an
eloquent and feeling speech, and was lollowed
by Mr. Williams, the successor of Mr. Ather
ton.
The resolutions were then unanimeusiy adop
ted, and the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Benton rose to a priviledgee question, sta
ting that Jose Manuel Gallegos, a delegate from
New Mexico, was present and ready to take the
customary oath.
Mr. Richardson desired that his commission be
read before further action be taken. In his
opinion neither Gallegos nor the contestant
was entitled to his seat. The commission was
read.
Mr. Richardson said this showed there is pri
ma facie evidence of Gallegos’ right, although a
certificate from the Secretaryt of the Territory
of New Mexico, given to Mr. Lane, conflicts
with that to Gallegos. However, this was a
matter for the committee on elections to investi
gate.
Mr. Gallegos was then sworn in.
On motion it was resolved that thirty thou
sand copies of the addresses delivered in both
Houses on the occasion of the announcement of
the death of Vice President King, together with
that part ot the President’s message and pro
ceedings of the Supreme Court relative to the
subject, be printed for the use of the House.
Mr. Richardson presented the evidence and
the poll book ot New Mexico, relating to the
contested election case in that territory.
Mr. Houston, from the Committee of Ways and
Means reported a bill making appropriation for
the civil and diplomatic expenses of the Govern
ment for the year ending June, 1855. A bill
supplying deficiencies in appropriations for the
payment of invalid and other pensions. Re
ferred to Committee of the Whole on the State
of the Union.
Mr. Disney reported a resolution that the
committee on public lands be authorised to em
ploy a clerk at the rate ot four dollars per day,
and was proceeding to explain why it should be
passed, when
Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, rose to make a sug
gestion.
Mr. Disney would say to the gentleman, and
he could take tihs liberty, because he and his
colleague were warm personal friends, that he
detested the common practice of interrupting a
gentleman who rises to speak here.
Mr. Campbell said he could exercise a great
deal ot forbearance lor this system of interruption,
but he thought his colleague was in the habit of
violating this rule himself. He (Campbell) rose
to suggest in the kindest way a defect in the re
solutions, and if his colleague was not disposed
to listen, very well.
Mr. Disney remarked, certainly, and according
to practice he had a speech made inside ol hi*
own. He found no fault with his colleague, but
expressed his utter abhorrence of those interrup
tions generally. ;
Mr. Campbell rose to a question of order.

proposition, but complaining in rather a petu

1 .. After an effort to lay the resolu
tion oa the table, it passed.
A message was received from the Senate an
j nouncing the death of of the iate Senator Ather
ton.
Mr. Hibbard said that the tones of eloquent
eulogy which announced the decease ot the il
-1 lustrous Vice Piesident, had hardly ceased in
this Hall, when a message from the Senate, re
minded the House ol the death of an eminent
member of that body. While he was happy to
pav his humble tribute, yet he found the duty
to be sad and painiul. The life of Atherton was
a most properous one—learning, intellect,
wealth and d stiuction—all were his. His pub
lic career was a series of honors fairly won and
, worthily sustained. Quiet and unostentatious
in private iile, he enjoyed the respect and good
j will ot all,and his triends were bound to him by
j hooks of steel.
Mr. Hibbard traced the public life of the de
| ceased, paying the highest eulogy to his charac
ter, political and 6ocial, concluding with a reso
lution that as a testimonial of respect for the
memory of Mr. Atherton, the members and offi
cers ot tbe House wear crape on their left arm !
■ tor thirty days—and that the Clerk communi
cate a copy ol the resolution to the widow of the
deceased, and as a further mark of respect tbe
House adjourn.
Mr. Orr briefly spoke of the deceased, saying !
that the loss of such a man, at any time, was a
national calamity, but especially now, when !
death has within but a few brief years stricken
from our firmament so many stars of the first
magnitude. Faithful to his own constituents,
he was at the same time regardful of the rights
ect ‘ ons i the constitution being his chart.
Ihe resolutions weie adopted and the House
adjourned.

AUGUSTA, GA.
SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 24.
See first page Daily, this morning.
Christmas!
The question now is, (the 25th falling on
Sunday,) which day shall be ob»erved as a holi
day, Saturday or Monday? For ourselves, w#
have set apart Monday, as our Banks will be
closed on that day. The juveniles will no doubt
like to see both days kept up. If *o, as they
have aj permit, by calling on A. Frederick, J. W.
Zinn, Lamback & Cooper, or I. P. Giiardey &Co.,
they will find ample in the shape of
Crackers, Rockets, Fire-work*. Candies, Toys,
and Confectioneries. It is but seldom Christ
mas falls on Sunday. Eleven years have rolled
round since such an occurrence has taken place,
and those who live twelve years longer will wit
ness it twice in that period, but should they be
so fortunate, they must add eleven or twelve
years from that date, before they will again en
joy another opportunity. Those of age, who
have lived to see it come round this year, should
not begrudge the young ones two chances. Let
the young keep Saturday and Monday, and the
old the latter day, for Christmas comes but once
a year, and no one now living can tell who will
see the next..
Landing of the Pilgrims.
The anniversary of this remarkable event was
celebrated, as is its custom, by the New England
Society of this city, by a Dinner, on the 22d in
stant, at the Planters’s Hotel.
The Society and its guests sat down at nine
o’clock, P. M., to one of the most sumptuous and
elegant banquets ever served in this city.
The Proprietor met the requirements of the
| occasion in a style of luxury and taste, and with
1 a profusion of choice viands well cooked, which
will long cause this Dinner to be pleasingly re
membered.
There was a good orchestra in attendance, and
; the entertainment was interspersed with toasts,
, speeches, and songs, which gave additional zest
j to the fine wines which sparkled on the board,
and called up vividly all the associations which
are dear to the Society.
The Augusta Bridge.
We copy from the Chronicle of yesterday th*
following Act, passed at the recent session ol the
South Carolina Legislature. It is a gross breach
! of faith on the part of that State, aud we shall
hereafter comment on it, in such terms, as the
importance of the subject demands.
A Bill to establish certain Ronds, Bridges and
Ferries, and to renew certain charters heretofore
granted, was called for a second reading.
The Senate, on the second reading of this bill
in that House, had added the following amend
ment thereto :
James Jones and Joseph J. Kennedy, as
signees of Henry Shultz and John McKinne, be,
and they are hereby authorized to collect the
tolls prescribed by the 21st section of the Act to
establish ceitain Roads, Bridges, and Ferries,
passed the 19th day ot December, 1848, from all
persons passing from either side over the Bridge
across the Savannah Rirr?r, at Hamburg and Au
gusta ; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained, shall, in any wise, impair or preju
dice any right or property claimed by the City
Council of Augusta, in respect the one-half of
the material structure of the said Bridge within
the territorial limits of this State,” and the ques
tion being put, will the House agree to the
amendment? Tellers were called for, and the
House divided. Messrs. Garlington and Boyl
son were appointed to count the House, and re
ported 36 in the affirmative, anu 31 in the ne
gative. So the House agreed to the amendment.
The Bill was then read the third time.
Resolved , That the Bill do pass—that the title
thereof be changed—that it be called an Act.—
Ordered that it be sent to the Senate.

New York.
We have received from Messrs Geo. A. Oates
& Co., a copy of the above work, just issued
from the press of Messrs DeWitt & Davenport,
New York. We have not had leisure to peruse
its pages. A northern cotemporary speaking of
the work says:
“This is the title of a beautiful volume, writ
ten by Solon Robinson,of the “New York Tri
bune.” Some portions of this book, such as
the stories of “Little Katy,” b Wild Maggie,”
&c., have already appeared in the papers, and
have had a great run, not only from the facts
which they embody, but from the simple, truth
ful style in which they are written. The au
thor, who is a man of the world and a philan
thropist, and, moreover, the editor of a dail/ pa
per, has been led, both by his feelings and avo
cations, to explore parts of the city, and become
familiar with their denizens, which are seldom
intruded upon the eye ot the casual observer,
and whose sad state of want and destitution, both
morally and physically, are known only to those
who seek them, as did our author, out ol pure
benevolence.”
The bed-plate for the machinery of the U. S .

in its construction. This engine is the first

Department—the plans and drawings being fur
nished by the contractor instead of the plans
i furnished by the engineer in the employ of the
government, which has hitherto been the causa
j of numerous failures.

Things tn New York. —The mammoth ship
Great Republic continues to be visited by hun- t
dreds of people, at the admission fee ot one shil

have inspected during the past week. The
funds are devoted to the Sailors’ Alarine Hospi
tal.
The Crystal Palace is nyw but little thought
of. As a novelty, it has had its day, but there
is still enough ot attraction about it to draw
thither from 500 to 1.500 visitors daily, but these
are chiefly strangers from the country.

To the Editor of the Constitutionalist Republic:
The necessity of crossings, similar to those on
Broad street, is severely felt by those who walk
Jackson street to the Georgia Railroad. This
■treet is a great thoroughfare, and has to be
travelled by the pedestrian through mud and
water the most of the year. While the plank
fever is raging, a number of those who travel
this street daily, would feel gratified that Coun
cil would make the desired improvement with
crossings of plank. Jackson Strkkt.

Information to Postmasters.
During something over eighteen years of ser
vice in a post office, I have made various expe
riments in the way of ink, for stamping letters,
and as the result of my experience may be ot
service to other postmasters, who cannot obtain
a good article of printer’s ink, I have concluded
to give the following directions:
Grind up indigo, in sperm or lamp oil, to about
the consistency of cream—a soda or seidlitz box
answers for making and keeping the ink in—
tack three or four thicknesses of broadcloth over
a board from th.ee to four inches wide, and from
four to five inches long, having a short handle at
one end; saturate the cloth pretty well with
lamp oil before putting on the ink ; spread the
ink on with a “tooth brush, and then you are
prepared with a good and cheap means for mark
ing letters plainly. Sweet oil will not do, as it
spreads and strikes through the paper. A very
small quantity of spirits of turpentine may be
used with the oil, to make it dry sooner. Lamp
black may be used instead of the indigo; I use
both together to make a blue black ink.
From the difficulty, (and sometimes impossi
bility,) of deciphering the marking or stamping
on a great many letters. I know that this infor
mation will be of service to all postmasteis who
have any desire that letters going from their
offices should be plainly marked, and who can
not at all times procure printer’s ink.
An Old Po§tmaster.
Dreadful Catastrophe—Explosion and Loss
of Life.
It is our painful duty to record this morning, a
most tearful destruction of life, arising from the
explosion of the boilers of the steamer Marl
borough, Capt. Wm. M. Smallwood, which took
place shortly after 8 o’clock, yesterday morning,
as she was backing out from Atlantic wharf
to proceed on her voyage to Cheraw and the
landings on the Pee Dee River.
The force on board at the time of the explo
sion, including the captain, officers and crew
comprised twenty-two, thirteen of whom have
t>cen killed—the majority having been either
burnt up with the hull, or have met a watery
grave.
The body of Capt. W. M. Smallwood, who,
we are told, held the bell ro;>e in his hand at the
time, has beep recovered, as has also the body of
his Chief Engineer, Warren B Stone. The
mate, Capt. R. N. Bullen, formerly of the Sra
nac, is missing.
Ot the nine saved, several received severe
contusions—one, a deck hand, a white man, had
one of his arms amputated, yeaterday, in conse
quence of injuries sustained.
A smali negro boy, who was standing on the
wharl at the time of the explosion, was struck
on the head by a piece of iron and inatantly
killed.
One of the boilers, weighing about two tons
and a half, was propelled about two hundred
yards, cutting in its progress three bags of cotton
in half, and knocking down six brick pillars
sustaining the eastern portion of a cotton shed
on Atlantic wharf, ultimately being deposited
among the cotton in the shed.
The steam drum passed over the deck of the
schooner J. T. Fardy—whose officers and men
were fortunately below at the time, at their
breakfasts—slightly injuring the foremast, and
lodged on the wharf.
1 he captain of the ship Delaware, belonging
to Bath, Me., lying at the same wharf, and his
officers were at breakfast, and the table at which
they were seated was filled with fragments from
the wreck.
Shortly after the explosion, a fire broke out on
board, endangering the Delaware, but the hull
was promptly taken in cow by the steamer Col.
Myers, Capt. Paine, and carried into t e stream,
where it lodged on a bank in front of the city
and was consumed.
One of the interests of the Marlborough was
Insured for SIOOO in the South Carolina Insu

[From (he Edgefield Advertiser, 22dinit.\
Tlie City of Augusta.
Once every two or three months, we go to
| the little city ot Augusta. We have always
; done so, until it is really something of a habit
j which we cannot well give up. It is only a
| ride of twenty-five miles, and now, that we
: have a Plank Road all the way, the trip is nosh
! *ng more than a slight 2.40 jaunt. So last Fri-
I day atteruoon, having some excuse of business,
1 we drove down to town in about three hours—
I hardly that.
The city was quite cheerful and apparent
ly well to do in point ol business. A gentleman
if our acquaintance observed that Augusta had
‘ 6ol d her commercial birth-right for a mess of
pottage when she agreed to the extension ol the
South Carolina road into her limits.” But noth
ing of the kind is as yet observable. We hope
j the opinion is incorrect, and that in reality Au
gusta’s prosperity has but just begun.
The two nights we were there, delighted au
diences were held enchanted by the very beau
tiful exhibitions of the French Ballet Troupe,
given at Concert Hall. Their performance was
second to nothing of the kind alforded at Niblo’s
j l ast summer. We considered it a real treat, and
so reeord our opinion. Crispdeserves credit,de
cided credit for what he is now endeavoring to
do in theatricals for Savannah and Augusta, and
; the people of those cities mistake the thing very
much when they fail to encourage him. We
should not omit to say that the Ballets we wit
nessed were alternated by roystering Farces, in
j ,n which Miss Dickens always asserted her
•laim to be admired.
We stopped this time at the new Hotel up
town, owned by Messrs. Trowbridge & Jackson,
and kept by Simpson. It afFords us pleasure to
say that it is a fine hotel, delightfully situated
and admirably kept. Simpson is a Kentuckian
and of course supplies with Baronial profusion.
Then he has with him. as general supervisor of
the establishment, Nickerson of Charleston, a
younger brother of him of the Mills House; and
our private opinion is that he quite equals the
“old Nick.” At any rate every thing goes like
clock-work under him, and even the most petu
lant will find but little to scold at. It is thought
by some that the situation of this house is too
remote from the centre of business. We thought
so too until we tried it. But it J s a mistake. ,
The truth is, iFsjust near enough for comfort, ,
fend not a etcptoe lareff for fun-and whit;
ttioi-e can we wish for in town accommodations. !
While we seek not to undervalue other Hotels j
in .Augusta, we must be permitted to say em* t
phatically that the Planter’s is a first rate 1
house.
We called on Major Whyte at his office (that
of the Georgia Home Gazette) soon after we got
down, and found him, with pen and scissors in
hand, hard at it. But in that warm and hospiti
ble manner which he ever exhibits towards
strangers visiting his city, he threw down the
implements of the craft and joined our perambu
lations. Our visits to Augusta, of late years,
have received much of their bright coloring from
the Major’s kind attentions. And, besides
thanking him heartily, we wish for his excel
lent Journal unbounded prosperity.
Much sport is anticipated in connexion with
the Race week soon to come otron the Lafayette
course near Augusta. Nina, Red Eye and
Highlander, three of the very best nags in the
Union, w ill be there. A large crowd is expect
ed and a brilliant time. To those of our friends
in Carolina, who wish to visit Augusta on a
pleasant occasion, we would say,“ go down race
week.”
We could rattle on to tell how we called on
our advertising friends in town, and how they
showed us their rich stocks ot goods, and how
we were tempted to spend a few dimes with
them, and how (like your real gentleman-mer
chants as they are) they once in a while would
say, “ oh, just take that trifle along, you’ll oblige
me,” and how they sell at the most moderate
profits, and various other items there-to apper
taining. But we’ll say na more now.
Sale of Spoiled Poultry in New York.—
About 8,000 lbs. of dressed chickens, in boxes,
were received at New York from the West, a
few days ago, and according to the Tribune, af
ter remaing upon the dock two days, a Wash
ington market speculator purchased the lot for
SSO, or sixteenths of a cent per lb. The poultry
on being unpacked was found in a slimy, taint
ed condition, on the verge of putrefaction. Be
fore being exposed for sale it underwent a pro
cess of being "manufactured over ” —a process
well known by the knowing ones. This is ac
complished by soaking the poultry in alum wa
ter, which divests it of the slime and appear
ance of decay, and restores it to an apparently
fresh state. After undergoing this process this
poultry was ofFeied for sale, and in three days
the entire lot was disposed of, from the sale of
which the speculator realized a profit of over
SBOO. Poultry that has undergone this process
turns black (where the skin has been torn off.)
after having been exposed a short time to the
air. The Tribute adds that immense quanti
ties of spoiled pork and beef are sold in that city
after undergoing this process. Os course, all
persons using it endanger their Jives and health.
Trial Trip of the Seminole. —The new
steamer Seminole, the consort of the St. Johns,
and owned by the same company, made a trial
trip yesterday, which we learn was successlui,
and satisfaciory. The Seminole was built by
Mr. .D. P. L;-. udershine, and her engines are from
the well known establishment of Mr. A. N.
Miller, of this city. She is to ply between Sa
vannah and Palatka, Fla., touching at interme

popular Seminole among the Floridians. Suc

Wonderful and Extraordinary Cure
' of Rheumatism of twenty years’stand
ing—Never in my life have I had so much pleasure
1 in doing any thing as in giving this certificate to
tho 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
boon afflicted with it for twenty years, most of the
time suffering excruciating pains in every part
> of her body. Having no appetite whatever, she
i was reduced to almost a skoleton. So violent were
t tho pains that she seldom could sleep without tak
i ing large doses of opium. Every joint was swelled
very much, and her knees, hands and nock covered
with large lumps. She could do no kind of work,
tho sinews and muscles boing so hard and contract
ed that her limbs were drawn togother, so that she
was obiged to bo in bed constantly. In this condi
tion she had been for twenty yoars, without over
gotting any relief from every thing she used, until
she commenced tho use of H. G. Farrell’s Arabian
Liniment, tho first bottle of which produced a great
ohange. She has now used five bottles, and tho
swellings have nearly all gone down ; pain has en
tirely left her; she sloops well and soundly; is
more fleshy than ever she was in her life; has an
excellent appotite, and spins and sews all day. By
the use of a few bottles moro she mus be as woll 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 he can further enquire of any of my
neighbors. Samuel Elson.
H. (I. Farrell’s Liniment is also an oxcollent rem
edy for palsy, sprains, bruises, cramps, chilblains,
burns, pains, toothache, sore eyes, etc., and in
horses or cattle is the best remedy in the world
where an external application is required.
Look out for Counterfeits.— The public are cau
tioned against 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 Farrel\
many will buy it in good faith, without the knov -
lodge that a counterfeit exists, and they will, per
haps, only discover their error whon the spurious
mixture has wrought its evil effects.

Augusta Market, Dec. 23—p. m.
COTTON.—The weather, to-day, has been very
unfavorable to out-door transactions. The sales
made were at yesterday’s prices.
CHARLESTON, Dec. 23. Cotton. —There was
quite a good demand for Cotton during the pre
vious week, and the transactions, which in the ag
gregate reached 10,000 bales,may be classed among
the heaviest of the season. The demand was to
some extent stimulated by accounts from tho west,
shewing a heavy falling offin the receipts at all the
ports. During the excitement that prevailed prices
gradually stibened, and when we closed our inqui
ries preparatory to our report of the 16th inst., had
advanced an Jaj- cent. The middling qualities at
the time were quoted at 9ja9J cents, and Good
Middling 10al0I cents. Tho market opened on
Friday last —the first day of the p>rcsent week, with
a good demand, and during tho day upwards of 1,-
500 bales were sold, the above rates forming the
basis of operations; on Saturday, however, busi
ness may be said to have been suspended, owing to
a rain storm that prevailed throughout the dav,
the sales having been limited to some 200 bales.—
The article was very much neglected on Monday
and Tuesday, and tho market during these two
days wore a languid and drooping appearance. The
stock was accumulating on Factors hands in conse
quence of the heavy receipts, and some of them anx
ious to relieve themselves, were disposed to sell on
easier terms, and a s ight concession was granted,
which brought buyers out, and during Wednesday
a good demand prevailed, resulting in the sale of
1800 bales. Yesterday the sales extended to 2200
bales. The demand was freely met by hollers,
and the week closed at iat c . decline on Good Mid
dling and the qualities under, while the higher
grades have sustained their former position. The
receipts since our last comprise 18,781 bales, and
the sales in the same time foot up 7450 bales, at
the subjoined prices, viz: 100 bales at 7|; 90 at
