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.

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. rn co ea » u ®’ said, was not discussing the proposition, but complaining in rather a petu laat manner. r i - : Hf Lit H rep l‘ ed ’ he was in no evil temper.

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. Sclmapi.

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 . | steamship San Jacinto was on Monday of 1 nst I week, cast at the Southwark Foundry, Philadel phia. Over 30,000 pounds of metal were used in its construction. This engine is the first | built under the new principle adopted by the 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. Death o y a Veteran Pennsylvanian— Mr. ! John Beck, Sen., died on the 17th inst., at Shrewsbury, Pa., where he had resided over 50 years. He voted at every Presidental election since the adoption of tbe Constitution of the United States, and was the oldest citizen in that section of York county. He had, at the time of : his death, thirteen children, sixty-four grand children, one hundred and sixty great-grand children, and five great-great-grand children, two 1 hundred and forty-two descendants in all, two hundred and si* of whom survived him, viz: | six children, fifty grand-children, one hundred and fort}-five greafc-grand-children, and thrca great-great-grand-chiidren. At the time of his decease there were five generations living in Shrewsbury. 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 ling each. Ten thousand visitors, it is supposed, 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. A burning fluid lamp in an omnibus exploded on Saturday, while the omnibus was op posite Barnum’s Museum. Five persona were fesjt thiugh itfgw teofc ftra immediate* I ly } and one lady had her dress burned, and a gen* tleman who tried to extinguish the flames on her burning dress had his face singed, the harm was slight. Shortly after twelve o’clock on Saturday night a young man named Micheal Conroy was shot by the keeyer of a grocery in Fourteenth street, and died from his wounds about half an hour af terwards, Dennis O’Connor and two brothers were taken into custody. The first shad of the season was caught in New York bay on Saturday, and served up at the St. Nicholas hotel on Sunday. There were 381 deaths in the city last week ; of cholera 4; dysentery 6; consumption 41: con vulsion 42; croup 13; small pox 23. T. G.

A young man named Hammond, alleged to have been concern ed with him, was, also arrested, and 12 or 15 pieces of silks recovered. 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. [communicated.] 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 ranee Company—four hundred dollars on the cargo, which consisted of 275 sacks salt, 6 hhds. molasses, 27 bbls. sugar, 45 bags coffee, 57 bhds. and bbls. liquors, and 427 packages of merchan dise-—in the same office, and $350 in the Agency of the Augusta Insurance and Banking Com pany. 1 he cause of the catastrophe is not, nor prob ably ever will be, definitely known; we trust, however, that this occurrence—the second with iu five or six weeks—will cause the owners and captains of our river boats to neglect no precau tion that can Conduce to the safety of those who trust themselves on board them. Charleston Cour., 23 d inst. [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.

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. The genuine article is manufactured only fey II G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois* to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad dressed. Be sure you get it with the letters H.

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.
