BY JAM US GARDNER. ,AtJ G U BTA, G A WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 27. The U. S. Senate on Wed' esday passed the bill, introduced at the former session, extending the naturalization to children (born abroad) of American parents citizens of the United States. Also the bill for the payment ol invalid pensions was passed, after it had been so amend ed as to place the widows of officers and men who served iri the navy of the Revolution, and were married since Ist of January, 1800, on the fame footing with the widows of officers and soldiers of the army of the Revolution under the act of 3d February, 1853, and making all their pensions commence from the 4th of March, 1848 Mr Brodheal, from the select committee, to whom was referred the bill for the appointment of a Board of Claims, &c., repotted a substitute for said bill, which provides for the establishment of a Court for the adjudication of claims, A bill to establish a Department of Law’ in connection with the Government, (See., w'as partially con sidered and deferred to Tuesday next—and then the Senate went into F.xecutive Session. The Proprietors of the “Novelty Works,” near New York, contradict one of the extravagant rumors of the day, alleging their discharge of a large number of workmen, and say that they are employing as many men now, as they have at any period within the last six months, and at full time. Capt. Duncan N. Ingraham, U. S. N.—We learn, says the Charleston Courier of that a letter was lately received at our Post Office for the lady of our esteemed and gallant towns man above named, which was forwarded to her at his country residence on Cooper River. We do not know what particular news the letter has brought concerning Capt. Ingraham’s move ments ; but from an endorsement on it by an of ficer of the Navy Department, we are gratified in concluding that we shali soon have an oppor tunity of greeting this popular officer and worthy fellow-citizen in the city, which is ptoud to number him among her noblest sons. He will be doubly welcome. According to the Edinburg Advertiser, the Czar has cauied on a war with the Circassians for twenty-eight years, and at an annual cost of twenty thousand of his subjects. This would make an aggregate of 560,000. In the two campaigns against Persia, as in the Hungarian campaign and the two Polish campaigns of 1831 32, there are not sufficient data to form a correct estimate of the loss of the Russians, which was, however, in the Persian and Polish wars, enor mous. In the two campaigns against Turkey, of 1828—29, 300,000 fell, ol whom, however, 50,- QOO peiished by the plague. The loss of the Russians, in various ways, since the entry of the JL) tnubian Principalities, is estimated at 80,000. In these calculations it should he home in mind that no estimate is attempted to be made of the sacrifice of human liie on the side ol those who /ought for their liberties against the aggressions of Truly, the Emperor sustains his .throne atm <ratifies his ambition at an immense cost of life. - Wrecked —The American ship Sunny of New York, was wrecked on the Bahama Banks, the 28th u!t. She was bound from New Orleans for Liverpool, with a cargo of 2,o6o]bales of cotton, only 1200 of which were saved dry— a poition,the remainder, in a damaged state. We learn from the Athens Post that the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad is rapidly pro gressing toward completion. The Masonry of the Loudon Bridge is finished and the work will soon be completed. The track-lajdng com menced at Loudon last week, and it is thought that the cars will be running to Knoxville by next June, if not earlier. A Building for Laborers. —A model build ing has just been erected in Osborne Place, Bos ton, which is intended for the accommodation ■ of the laboring classes. The Times says : The tenements are supplied with every ne cessary convenience. The rooms are small, to t»e sure, but very handy. There is a kitchen, sitting room and one or two sleeping rooms, plenty of closet room, and a ve.y snug place tor for a water closet for each family. The Cochi tuate water is supplied to each kitchen. The rent of these tenements is from $2 50 on the low er floor, to $2 per week on the other floors, rent to be paid weekly. Revelations of the Barometer. — The Spirit- ( tail Telegraph Superseded. —An interestsh» com- t rn'inicatiou was recently addressed to the Freoch j Mini**® l, °* War by M. Le Macut. a chemist of | Saint Biienne, in relation to a series of observa tions on the modifications which the atmosphere t experiences from the cannonade that take place. r These observations were made every three hours, j and had reference particularly to the compara- j tive effects of the cannonades of Odessa, of the ( battle of Alma, of the day of the 6th October, s (cannon lired at the I oval ides.) of the opening of the bombardment of Sebastopol, and of the day of the 25th October. M. Le Aiacut says: < 1 hope to be able to establish that the barome- i ter is not. as is commonly thought, an instrument 1 merely intended to indicate rain and fine weath- 1 er t but a mobile apparatus, exclusively sensitive, * which places us in communication with all great atmospherical phenomena. What is remarkable in this instrument is, that f at from 600 to SOO leagues of distance an impres- | sion is produced on it in a few hours by tiie dis charge of cannon. Observed with care and in telligence it caniiot fail,in certain circumstances, to become of the highest utility in time of War. I have no occasion to apprise you ol the com mencement of the bombardment of Sevastopol, as you have already received the news of it offi cially, but I will announce to you with a cer tainty which will not be believed by the tacts, that the day bslore yesterday (25th of October) a cannonade such as has not taken place during the year which is about to elapse, even com prising those of the siege of Silistria and ot the bombardment ot Odessa, commenced in the mor ning before Sevastopol. Be good enough to cast your eye over the ta ble that I send you. You will see there that in 4S hours the barometer rose 30 millimetres, and that the figure which represents this rise, com paratively to those pioduced by the other bom bardments. is almost vertical, an index with the other signs by which it is accompanied of the intensity of the action of the cannonade. In a few days you will receive from Sevasto ■4 news ot the 25th, which will give you full pc KUtttou of what occurred on that day, which luibi. v ed, l have no doubt, one of the most has pro.

The above letter fought on the 28th L Written in France but purports to have been two days subsequent. 'tion of extrav- Eoctravagance.- —As an indie- country for ag Auce which has prevailed in the • York has scene time, an importing house in New -q u _ written a lettter stating that the amount > 'cies paid for French artificial flowers lor the .. * .quarter of the current fiscal year was a linos, •double the amount *>£ duties paid on railroad 1 iron. £l)c tOailn (Constitutionalist ait it IkjrttMtf Deaths cy Violence. —We have just receiv ed the pain fill intelligence of the death of two men in Fannin county, by the hand of a Mr. Gunter. We undeis'and the facts to be as follows: Three men came to Mr. Gunter’s house in search of a Mr. Smith, and not finding him, went on their way; but returned in a shoit t'meand com menced throwing down Gunter’s fence in order to ride in. Gunter came out of house, which was inside the inch mre and forbid them throwing it down, but they persisted and a fight ensued, and the three being an over match for Gunter, he letired into the still house. One of the men whose name was Miller, and who had fired a (revolver) pistol during the rencounter, now rode up to the door of the still house and fired at Gunter in at the door. Gunter then shot Miller with a rifle, who fell from his horse and immediately expired. Another ore of the cotn battants by the name of Nash seized the nistol which had fell from Miller's hands and fired at Gunter in at the door, whereupon Gunter steped out wfth another rifle, seeing which Nash turn ed and fled, and Gunter fired at him, he fell and expired in about a half hour. Miller wasshota little bellow the heurt, and Nash in the small of the back. We derived this information from a gentle man who heard the testimony on the part of the State, when Gunter was arrested, who was still a prisoner at last account. As the subject will receive judicial investigation we forbear any comments other than our expression of regret that so much of violence should exist in our country.— Dahlonega Signal, 23 d inst. Official Appointments. —The President of the United States has made the following ap pointments, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate: Mark W. Izard, of the territory of Nebraska to be governor of the said territory, in the place, of Francis Burt, deceased. Jacob Sorber, to be deputy postmaster at Wilk esbarre, Pennsylvania, vice John Richard, re signed. Thomas M. Pegues, to be deputy postmaster at Camden, South-Carolina, vice John M. Game well, resigned. Fairman F. Taber, to be deputy postmaster at Natchitoches, Louisiana, vice Timothy Lacoste, resigned. Jacob C. Martin, of Arkansas, to be receiver of public moneys at Little Rock, Arkansas, vice B. F. Danley, resigned. Albert Greenleaf,of the District of Columbia, to be navy agent for the navy yard at the city of Washington, and for the Navy Department, for lour A. G.. Allen, resigned. The Snow’.— On Tuesday we had the first snow of the season. It commenced failing about 12 o’clock in the day, and continued to do so, at intervals, until about 9 qbdock in the eve ning, when it ceased, and the weather cleared up. The rools ol houses, and the trees presented quite a bright appearance on Wednesdry morn ing.—Greenville (S. C.) Mountaineer , 21sf inst. Burned to Death —We regret to learn that an old widow .ady, by the nafne of Spencer, living about 7 miles above the village,was burned to death last week. She was very aged, and was living alone, and it appears she /ell into the fire and being unable to extricate herself, was almost entirely burned up. Our informant tells us that her body and one arm was burnt trashes.— lb. Arrival of Dr. Hines. —This distinguished individual arrived in town this morning from Baton Rouge, where he has been lesiding for the past year, in compliance with an urgent and pressing Invitation from twelve respectable citi zens, backed by the persuasive eloquence of Judge Robertson. The doctor does not appear to be any the worse for his sojourn in the State capital, and manifested considerable curiosity to see Vannuchi’s statue of him, which is said to be a capital likeness, so good indeed, that most per sons on seeing it, involuntarily clap their hands on their pockets. As soon as he arrived he re ported himself at the office of the Chief of Po lice, which was considerate on his part, and saved the officers some trouble. We understand that he has written an autobiography of himself, which, if a truthful record, must equal in inte rest that of the great Barnum. He is desirous of publishing this, and we are confident that this simple intimation will set ail the Northern pub lishers on the qui vive. Send in your bids gen tlemen. — N. O. Picayune. “An old Merchant,” writing to the N. Y. Herald, speaking of the dearth of gold, says : “ It has got among the Germans, who make and save, ani if we had all the gold of Califor nia and Australia, and exported none, the Ger mans wouia be bound to have it and keep it un til they were rich or poor enough to spend it. If their influential men or newspapers would tell them how much safer and better saving banks are than old stockings, and whatthey would feel more, how much they hurt themselves, perhaps some good might be done. “I have been a bank director for twenty years, and thought the specie had gone to Eu iope. I ought to have known better; but now my eyes are opened.” Trouble Feared in the M. E. Church.— Another breach is expected in the Methodist Church. Rev. Dr. Bund, editor of the N. Y f ork Christian Advocate, in noticing the opposition to the appropriations ol missionary money to the preachers laboring in their slave-holding cou terences, says: ‘‘We have seen strange things in the lapse of three score years and ten, but this caps the cli max of the marvellous; and though we are no prophet, nor the son ot a prophet, we venture to predict that mischief is now brewing in our church—agitations, convulsions and disruptions, such as we have never witnessed before. 5 ’ The weather is at this writing (Thursday) colder than we have ever known here; worthy indeed of transfer to New England. VVe have had no rain for a long time, and in consequence the river is at a very low stage.— Albany ( Ga.) Patriot , 22 d inst. Cotton is now coming in pretty freely, but sales are limited owing chiefly to lack of trans portation facilities lor the present. A good rain would be a relief to both buyers and sellers ol ti e staple. We must wait patiently, and hope for the ‘ good time coming.”— lb. | H.

J. 11. ANDERSON, Ag’t., feb26 Melntosh-st., Augusta, Ga. DENNIS’ ANTI-SPASMODIC TINCTURE. a'l sudden and dangerous attacks of Dis ease, such as Pits or Convulsions; Apoplexy Lock-Jaw; Cramp Colic; Cholera; Pneumonia Hydrophobia; Bite of Snakes, and other danger oqs cases of Poisons, and all other diseases in which immediate action is necessary. This Tincture produces its effect by equalizing the circulation of the Blood, and by relieving in flammation. Its effect in relieving inflammation, either internal or external, makes it useful in a great variety of diseases. For Fovor and Ague, or Chills, it is almost an infallible remedy. Dilutod with syrup or honey, it is useful for Colds and all affections of the Lungs, arising from colds, such as Cough, Croup, Asthma, Difficulty in Breathing, &c. As an external remedy, in fresh Cuts, Wounds, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, Bite of Snakes, Sting of Bees, or Bite of poisonous Insects, it prevents in flammation, and greatly relieves the soreness. Used as a wash in eruptive diseases, such as Scald Head, Ringworm, or diseases which cause an itching sonsation upon the skin, it soon produces a healthy action. When thus used, the Georgia Sar saparilla should bo taken to purify the blood. For Horses, and other animals, this article will be found invaluable for Bruises, Cuts, Galls, Fistu la, &c. For Colic, and various other dangerous attacks, it rarely fails to cure even the worst cases. This is the most active modicino in use, yet it may be given without danger of injury. Jt seldom fails, in dangerous cases, to cause an immediate re action in tho system. After i; has caused a reac tion, it may bo followed by such other medicines as the situation of tho patient may indicate. Prepared by J. DENNIS, M. D., Augusta, Ga.
