Weekly Dispatch.
1 Our weekly—universally conceded to j
be one of the handsomest papers in the j
State—is now ready for delivery. It
contains, in addition to a very great va- !
riety of news and miscellaneous matter,;
a beautiful ORIGINAL STORY- founded \
an fact , and written in this city. Every j
family ought to have the Weekly Lis- (
patch. For sale at oar office, in wrap- j
pers. Price $1,50 per annum—single
• copies, five cents each.
A Special Request.
Persons visiting our office are specially
requested not to take out papers with
out permission. We miss valuable com
mercial papers very often. To-day the
N. Y. Journal of Commerce , from which
we intended to make extracts, is out.
The Concert.
Thaj.beko, VtEUXTEMrs and the lesser,
but fairer luminaries of the troupe, have
come and gone, at.d the musical circles
breathe freer. It cannot be denied that
their advent produced a very conside
rable sensation in town, and as a result
thereof, Masonic Hall was crowded.—
We judge from tire applause, ami from
the r pinion of those who arc critics,
that the expectations raised by the bril
liant reception extended them elsewhere,'
was fully realized. The writer know
ing more of several other matters tiian
of music, will not presume to enter up
on a critical review of the performance.
Mr, Tiialbkko makes a pleasant im
pression on tlie audience—entering with
an easy, quiet air, and taking
his place at the piano with an entire
freedom from Dempstebish formality.— (
We cau only say of his performance
that we were astonished —and if any of his
hearers can give a better opinion of the
pciformance, they are welcome to do so.
There is a character —a power—in his :
playing that we cannot describe.
Vieuxtemps (pronounced, they say, j
vo-tomp) is not like Thalbf.ro, pleasing in i
his manner. He fingers the violin and
looks out at the audience witli airof ego
tism, which seems to say— isn't that ‘clem
Join ?’ His playing is so distressingly I
scientific that its chief attractions are !
confined to more cultivated ears than 1
ours—and we shall not therefore go in
to ecstacy over it, while we should be
pronounced a boor, were we to intimate
that its wealth of cold icy science,
makes his performance much more bar
ren of interest and effect than that of
several of the noted violinists, ranked
by fashionable criticism, two or three
degrees below him. We felt during
most of his playing, like we were being
pelted by a shower of musical hail
stones—it effected but did not please. But
Yankee Doodle, and Patrick’s Day stolo
, over us like a genial summer shower,
and we felt better. Whether anybody
else shared our emotions, we know not,
but as one of the untutored barbarians
who have no scientific music in our
soul, we felt like thanking him for
those small favors,—and when he comes
tliis way again we trust he will give
us more of the same sort.
Miss Kemp has a rich contralto voice,
and sings ballads very sweetly. She
does not seem, however, to have power ■
k- to execute all she undertakes. Her j
“ Coming thro’ the Rye,” was almost a
failure—the balance was chiefly “Dutch”
to us.
Madame Johansen is an opera singer,
and as far out of our line as Ylecxtemps
is with his violin. Her voice has great j
power and volume and with more train
ing mustgive her high rank as]an opera |
singer. In response to an encore she I
sang “ We meet by Chance,” which
was tlie only one of her songs that we j
could altogether appreciate. It was in j
fine taste, and elegantly executed.
1 We reached the Hall tco late to hear
Signo Lehman, and most of the song.
“ Ties Dearest Spot," by Miss Kemp. Its
conclusion was most exquisite.
We do not write as a musical connois
seur-far from it—aud have not at
tempted any special reference to the
great musical pointsof theentertainment,
but simply to note the general impres
sion it made upon us. As great musical
artists— which the principal performers
certainly are—they cannot object to the
opinions of a very great proportion of
their hearers who are like ourselves—
incompetent to criticise—hut go, to
see Thalberg, and to he pleased with
the harmony of music. We have no
toadyism to lavish—and his troupe and
r
the public are welcome to our crude
opinions. Their desire to please—their
courteous bearing—and prompt re
sponse to each encore impressed every
body favorably, and contributed large
ly to the enjoyment of the evening.
They appear again on Wednesday
next, when those who desire to see two
of tlie greatest living musicians, and to
hear a musical entertainment offered to
an Augusta audience but very seldom,
will avail themselves of an early chance
to secure seats.

From Salt Lnlte.
| The latest advices from the Mormon
I territory are to the lOtli inst., and re
: port the most active preparations for
' j resistance to the United States.
-i The yield of the crop in Utah has
. i been enormous, so that the Mormons
will be well provisioned. A number of
: I Mormons are known to be in tlie camp
1 1 of the army, and accurate information
of tlie movements of the troops was
daily received at Salt Lake City. Many
of the Indians are on good terms with
! the Mormons.
> j Tlie people believe ifi "the entire de
s structiiiii of tlie troops now at the foot
.j j of the mountains, and as many more as
j. i may join them in the spring ; not by
the superior human force that may be
'; brought to oppose their entrance into
1 1 the valleys, but by the exercise of “the
Almighty’s power/’
The Mormons see no possibility of tlie
I troops ever getting in, though tiie vaf
, ; ley should be besieged bn every side.
. t The narrow defiles must be passed, in 1
, | which bodies of men can be awfully
i harrassed by guerrilla parties, and for
- that business they seemed ready and
, well skilled.
An open fight is not counted upon, j
but every other means of crippling the I
• army will be resorted to, if once it be
. comes a matter of life and death. There
is, however, a hope prevailing among
'j the Mormons that tire administration
I; will yet call off the army.
I I Brigham told them that “he would
exercise faith that the troops should
!bo kept away, and he wished all
! to do the same, instead of wishing them
i to advance.
, His orders were imperative ilot to
shed Mood, so that if another course
should he adopted by tlie admmistra
i tion towards them, the feeling of re
! venge should not binder the esteblish
| ment of peace.
I The entire policy of Brigham, as fore
j shallowed in these despatches, is seen
;to be of the shrewd and artful charac
ter. He hopes to keep his people in
spired witli zeal for their religion, and
I faith in God’s protection, while ho also
t assumes to act on the defensive, in tlie
j hope of eliciting sympathy, additional
aid from abroad. But his outrages will
not be buried beneath his skillful di
ploraacy, and if a war of extermination,
were waged against him and his infa.
mous followers, they’ would get but
simple justice. If there was ever a
sore on the body politic that needed
cauterizing, it is the festering mass of so;
cial corruption tliatstains the Utah Vah
ley'—the modern Sodom and Gomor
rah.
Xo Statesmen 111 Congress.
ANew York Journal mourns bitterly
over tlie intellectual degeneracy of our
public men. It declares that .there are
now no statesmen in Congress: It says,
i ' whatever talkers there may he in
, that body, it is now becoming sadly evi
dent that there is not one statesman
either in the Senate or the House—un
less, perchance, some one of the hither
to silent and obscure members should
hereafter loom up in the due propor
tions of statesmanship. Scarcely ever,
in our history, has there been a time
when this could he said with truth.—
There have been times when tlie tide of
genius and statesmanship ebbed low
| enough ; but there were always one or
two men of strength, either in the Sen
ate or the House of Representatives, on
whom one could rely, and from whom it
was safe to expect, on all topics of lead
ing importance, a speech or two, which
thoroughly exhausted tlie matter in
all its bearings It was reserved for
; our day seemingly to 'witness both
houses sunk to a dead level of med-iocri- j
ty. dullness, and idle talk.”
\Vc do not altogether subscribe to the
justice of these sweeping remarks. It
is true we have now no Calhoun, Clay,
or Webster, but there are men in the
'Senate deserving the name of states
men, amirfcapable of guiding tlio desti-
Jnies of this great country. That ini
which we are most deficient is not pub
lic talent but public virtue. Our great
men are not great in patriotism, Every
man seems looking out for himself, and
the common good is a secondary consid
eration. The glittering prize of high
federal honors has debauched the mo- j
ral* of the statesmen of every section,;
not a few of whom, more selfish tiian j
Esau, are willing to barter, not only j
their own honor, but the whole coun- ;
try’s birthright of freedom, for a beg-i
garly mess of official pottage.
Augllstn Dispatch.
We notice that the Daily Dispatch lias j
recently been enlarged, which adds
much to its appearance.
The Dispatch is really a good paper/
and one that we look for first in open
ing our exchanges. It deserves a good
patronage ; and being issued every
evening, it always contains the very la
test news. Cassville Standard. J

The King and qumt of Delhi In
Captivity.
O O O O A Q 6
Wc have seen the captive King and
Royal family; they aie in ruinous little
rooms in one of tlie gates of the palace.
The old King looks very frail, and lias
a blank, fixed eye, as of one whose life
is fast closing. He certainly is too old 1
to be responsible for anything that has
been done. With liis sons much more
guilt may lie ; some have been shot
as you must have read ; some are
yet untaken. The youngest son we
saw, looking like 15,they say is'lß, hold
and coarse to look at. He is the only
child of the Queen.
With her sonic of our ladies have had
a long interview. They found her]
seated on a common charpoy (bedstead),!
dressed in white cotton clothes, with a I
few and very trifling ornaments—all ofi
her grand tilings having been taken j
' from her. She is described as short and j
stout, above 30 years of age, with a.j
round, animated face, not at all pretty, |
but having very pretty little plump 1
hands ; she was cutting beetlenuts to I
: eat with her pawn. Some 30 females, |
relatives' and menials, surrounded her. j
; Slie.professes tlie utmost horror of the
1 Otl cavalry, to whom she traces ail her
misfortunes. She says tlie King was
too Jielpless-to control them, and that
when their arrival had placed Delhi in
rebellion against us, they were as. ready
to rob iier as any one else: - She says tlie
! mutineers did rob thfc palace'and that
,j all her jewels were only’saved by being
buried. She does not seem to blame ns
for their present captivity ; she under
stands the necessity for inquiring into
guilty or innocent parties; but she did
| not seem to assert the King's innocence
as much as her own. She- said lie had
been in the hands of bad people. There
appeared to lie frightful rivalries among
, tlie women ; it is said she criminated
tlie sons of the former wives-, she being
' the last. Her sister is represented as
■much better looking than herself, and
tins a daughter of thirteen married to
j the King's youngest soil,, alfeady racii
*; tioned, and reputed Very beautiful.—
Our ladies describe her as having su
b perb large eyes, and a most beautiful
[ little mouth, but her face otherwise too
’ flat aud full. Some of the wonuui. told
them they had English women and
l ; children in the palace after tlie massa
cre, in hope of preserving them, but
j, that the mutineers demanded them and
• could not be resisted. ’They say ttie’Se
poys complained that tlie King was
feeding English women daintily, while
he only gave them grain for food.—
’ Heaven knows if the royal family be
I clean in heart and hand or not. I say
nothing sentimental about them, but I
: pity' them. Their religion is quite
enough to excite our pity ; and if they
’ have been abettors of murders, they
! ought to be pitied for their sins. If
they are, as they say, innocent of any
. share in the y rebellion, they are victims
indeed. I trust all examinations may
i be judiciously and fairly conducted. —
I I Mr. is an excellent man—most up
' right and indefatigable in discovering
' the truth,and withal most tender heart
" | ed. Hejwill not spare the guilty.nor inflict
suffering ou the innocent.

JOYFUL NEW’S TO
Uliemnatic Sufferers.
1 Oh, the amount of suffering that has beenendor
i ed, and the thousands of deaths that have
< occurred for the want of a proper and
timely remedy for this dreadful dis
ease which is invariably found in
LYNCH’S ANTI-RHEUMATIC POWDERS.
riIHE only sure and radical cure yet
jX discovered. See circular and thefollowirg
CERTIFICATES :
j Ido hereby certify that, after suffering for
thirty -three y ears with the most excruciating
pain from Chronic Rheumatism, and finding no
permanent relief from any of the many prefer p
tions given me by different physicians, I m
now entirely well, not onlyof Rheumatism
i self, but likewise of its effects. This, core as
effected by a preparation styled Lynch’s Ati
{ Rheumatic Powders Os these pow ders I took
j two dozen, and bav toot had any symptoms of
i my old pains for tbr c « years. The effect upon
me was like magic Within three days after i
I had token the first powder, my pains disappear
ed, and I have been entirely clear of them up to
the present time.
To all suffering from Rheumatism I do hearti
ly recommend these powders, confidently be
lieving that you have only to give them a trial
to secure a lasting cure.
Most respectfully, John I,lv h.
! Eatonton, April 22, 1855.
j I have no hesitation in saying, that after itav
I tag suffered for upwards of thirty year with
; Rheumatism in the most dreadful form—first in
my toes, then my thumbs, wrists and knees, and
lastly, most excruciatingly in my neck. 1 took
two or three dozen of Lynch’s Anti Rheumatic
Powders, and notwithstanding I urn old and my
constitution much shattered. 1 have received the
I greatest benefit imaginable: my relief from
suffering and pain, I cannot attribute toanything
j but the powders, tor 1 have tried everything
in vain, that friends could suggest or physician!
I prescribe. I would, therefore, earnestly n
i commend them to every sufferer of this drea<
ful disease, let him be older young.

Eatonton, April 2, 1855.
I am happy to state, lor the benefit of that
Who are afflicted with Rheumatism, that a pat
j tact cure has been affected in the person o! au€
gro man of mine by Lynch’s Antißhenraat.
Powders, the said boy having suffered with t
incessantly for twenty years, lost at least one
third of his time until he took tho above pow
‘tars. Since which time, now nearly two years
he has been a valuable and constant field hand
never having suffered With Rheumatism since
to the best of my knowledge, and I take pleas
ire in recommending them to those thus atliiet

Dear Sir: The public generally are tally awat
ot the thousands of remedies for diseased Lung
under the titles of Sarsaparillas. Pills, piaster
Liniments, &c., that are daily brought to tha
notice t hrougd the newspapers byway ofadve.
t - meat?. My object in writing this note so
1 publication is to indneo the public, or at lea
those who are afflicted, to use one that contains
articles ot Her I Use in Pulmonary Diseases. I
am conscious tliut m so doing, I am acting most
on professionally and derogatorily to the inter
ests of medical science anti tho regular practi
tamers of medicine. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cher*
1 ry Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy
that 1 have used with moro success than ativ'of
! the usual prescriptions used by Physicians.
J. M. Maitiand, M IK
Gallatin. Miss., May 1, 1855.
0. O. Woodman— Dear Sir : 1 have given your
Cherry Expectorant a fair trial, and am well
pleased with its effi-ejs—bolter than any ether
article I ever met witn. I would he pleased to
