doming JVispatdi. AUGUSTA.GA: Tuesday Evening, Feb. a ’ lwsß. Getting Small Payments. The editors of the Lyons, lowa, Mirror have been presented with a town lot ■worth six hundred dollars. Meigs, of the Palo Transcript, and Bond, of the Mendota Press, have each been present ed with a town lot. That’s all right, These men, like all other faithful editors have contributed materially to build up the business and good name of their towns, and if pre sented with a lot every year by the town authorities, would not get pay for the services they have rendered.— And yet an editor may live and die in poverty and rags, while the men made rich and great through the influence of his pen and ink, ride by him and over him without as much as a friendly re cognition. Madame Racliel. Among the distinguished deaths re ported by the late European advices, none is attracting more comment than that of the fair, frail French tragedi enne, whose name heads this article. She has been called by competent crit ics, with a single exception—the pure and noble Siddons, the most magestic incarnation of the Tragic Muse that has ever lived. Her looks were fascination, by turns an angel and a fiend, she bent upon her lover the soft eye of the dove, and the fearful gaze of the basilisk, and never from the moment of her first np perance upon the boards of the French Theatre, till she was driven by disease to leave the field of fresh success in this country, did she cease to bring her hearers, as if by the word of enchant ment, into the highest pitch of enthu siasm. But it is painful to remember, that while she thus reigned queen of the passions on the stage, her private life did not exhibit a harmonizing mas tery over them. The clamor now lavished by the press upon this great, bad woman, is by no means, calculated to lead those in her profession to shun the vices, which has tened her death and tarnished her mem ory. She sleeps in Pene la Chaise— aged 37. She died with few to shed the tear of affection over her grave— in life’s prime, a victim of life’s follies, —and as we cannot cherish the memo ry of her genius without also unveil ing her vices—let ns forget her. South Carolina Railroad. From the report of the President and Directors of the South Carolina Railroad Company, we glean the followidg ab stract of the operations of the Company during the past year : The gross income is, $1,119,802 81 And expenses of manage • ment, ordinary and ex traordinary, 709,267 99 Leaving, $740,534 83 From which, deduct in terest, damages, &c, 194,992 53 Leaving nett income of, 542,542 80 Against which have been charged two dividends of $5 and $3 per share, (equal to 8 per cent, per annum,) 310,368 00 And the balance of $235,174 30 As heretofore, carried to supplus income account The deficiency in gross income, as compared with that of the previ ous year, is $97,158 36 And that of the nett in come, $24,897 00 The result is more favorable than j could have been anticipated, when the short crop of cotton of 1850, and the financicl embarrassments of the past six months, which have retarded the for warding of the crop of 1857, are taken into consideration. The principal rail roads at the North have suffered com paratively a much more serious dimin ution in their revenues.— Charleston Mer cury. Rev. Dr. Brantly. A correspondent of the Utica Ikrald in writing from Philadelphia, alludes as follows to the “Tabernacle” on Chest nut street, and to the esteem in which their pastor, Rev, Dr. Brantly, former ly of Georgia, is held by his congrega tion : “This beautiful and imposing struc ture is remarkable for the symmetry of its proportions, its spire being a perfect model of architecture in that line. The Church has recently secured tlieservices of Rev. Dr. Brantly, late Professor of Belles Letters and Oratory in the Uni versity of Georgia. Never did people deem themselves so highly favored as do they of the Tabernacle, in claiming the preaching and pastoral labors of this eloquent and learned divine. Kince his connection with them many have been added, and every Sabbath morn and night an intelligent audiehce may be found hanging upon the speaker's words. His style of sermonizing is at once logical and hortatory. But for the rounded sentences and Blair like choice of words, we should unhesitatingly pro nounce him an extempore speaker, as there is no manuscript before him.’’ Fire.— We regret to learn, says the Tallahassee Sentinel, of the 27th ult., that the gin house of Judge Brevaro, containing* nearly his entire cotton crop, was consumed by fire on Friday night last. But nine bales of his en tire crop was saved—the balance being unginned. The fire, it is believed, was caused by friction. The loss, including the gin house, is estimated at from $2,000 to s3,ooo—a severe loss these hard times.

There are twenty , three cotton and woollen mills in that f place, only three of which are in opera r tion and two them are running short time. Bogus Fugitives.—The New York Tri bune says : “ The trade or profession of a Fugi tive from Slavery has proved so lucra ’ tijve, that quite a number of black and 1 Topper colored scoundrels are prosecu ■ ting it on speculation, some of them (we think) in partnership with white villians who corroborate their lies and share their gains.” s c gff The Petersburg Intelligencer no s ticing Mr. Everett’s engagements for , New York and Philadelphia, says : t Mr.|E. is making his way South, and we presume (though we have seen no ! announoment to that effect) he will be 1 iu Richmond the 22d February, at the - inauguration of the Washington Monu ! ment. , gff A lake covering an area of 1,900 r acres has been discovered in lowa, which . has a wall of heavy stone all around it . —supposed to have been built thous ands of years ago. f *•*’• , Fugitive Slaves in Ohio. —lt will be remembered that a few years ago the Ohio Legislature passed a law denying , the use of the jails of the State for the , confinement of fugitive slaves.

( The following anecdote of this great Statesman is taken from a collection of English newspaper cuttings in the pos session of the New York Historical So ciety : , “General Hamilton, the American, when a youth of seventeen, was chief ; i clerk to an eminent merchant in St. i ,; Eustatia, who being absent, the busi- i : ness of the counting-house, of course, i i devolved oil young Hamilton. He had i : presented to him a letter, directed to j; his master, which supposing it related • \ l to mercantile concerns he opened ; but I; ■ his surprise was great when he found ; - that it contained a challenge to his j - master, whose proxy he was. The ■ young hero answered the challenge in the name of his master, and the time '• and place were mentioned in the reply. “ Hamilton appeared to the antago l nist of his master on the field, and, to . use his own words, ‘ did his business in his absence,’ and would not argree to ' any compromise, except on the express i condition that the challenger should ac- j . knowledge in writing that he had re ceived suitable satisfaction from Mr honor, &c., and further, that he iHam - ilton) should never be known in the j f business- which terms the challenger I t was obliged to accede to, or fight young 5 Hamilton; he chose the former and the I i parties separated. In a few months, [ f however, it came to his master’s cars,' • who was so struck with the magnani-; ; mity of such conduct, that he gave him i the liberty to go to the continent, j ; | choose what profession he pleased, and j > j draw on him to any amount. Perhaps i Ii to this anecdote, America is indebted i for the service and abilities of a man i' who has not his superior as a soldier, a : financier and a statesman.” i ; The U. S.

The House of Representatives of the ! Territorial Assembly, has passed the subjoined, in reply to the joint resolu tions from the Topeka Legislature ; 1 Resolved, That the reports of Special i Committee, to whom was referred the , concurrent resolutions or memorials from the State Legislature, he referred back to said Committee, with instruc- J tions to report that we have every con- j fidence in the wisdom, patriotism and ■ prudence of the Free State Legis- _ I latnre ; that we believe the movement : which it represents had its origin in a ( public necessity, and that it is their province to take such action in their own capacity as they may think legiti mate and proper, they being re sponsible for their own action and we < not for them;and as the Territorial Leg- , islature is not legitimately in a position . to dictate to or concur in their acts, we 1 have only to respeeful reiterate to them i the course of action, which we shall at present pursue, as clearly indicated iu the resolution passed by this body, to the effect that we would proceed to the enactment of an entire code of laws, to take the place of the code of laws, or pretended laws, passed prior to the spe cial session of the present Legislature. WESTPORT ALARMED. A good deal of excitement exists in Westport, Mo., on account of a report which has reached that metropolis of slavery, propagandism, that “ Jim Lane,” at the head of the Kansas Mili tia, is about to visit the town and at tack it. Sentinels are on guard every night, and other preparations for de fence are being made. The rumor is made of whole cloth, but there is so much excitement in the border coun ties of Missouri, tnat any absurd story will be credited there. *.«.* The Royal Mal-rloge. The bridegroom was bora in 1831,and i; is ten years older than the bride. The match is said to be one of genuine affec tion, as was that of Victoria herself. ; The royal marriage act forbids alliances between members of the royal family and British subjects, while it also for bids marriages with foreign princes or princesses who are not Protestants. The ! consequence is that all the English prin ces and princesses of modem times have i to find wives and husbands among the < German Protestant royal families, and t these keep up a supply of marriageable t j young men and women that is quite t j equal to the demand. i -••- 1 The Irlsarri Treaty Defeated. ( | The Richmond “ South ” and New E j Orleans “Delta” need not trouble E i themselves any further about the dc ! feat of the Irisarri treaty by the United States Senate, as it will never come be- r fore that body iu njt mpe that will be at . | all acceptable. T m treaty is too favor j able to American interest; and English [influence —which has, and ever will pre ! vail there, until there is a decided , change in the foreign policy of the Gov- j ernment —will defeat this Government J in all its attempts to secure a foothold • in Central America, ( It was the intrigues of the English [Government which brought about the ] combination of the States, bordering on I Nicaragua, to drivetheAmericansout of , the latter Republic. It was the English , I Government that furnished the Costa ] ! Ricans with arms to accomplish that \ end ; and the arms so furnished were , used to murder inoffensive American , citizens employed on the Nicaragua ] Transit route, in cold blood ; to seize < and destroy American property worth f j millions of dollars, and break up the . | nearest and best of our transit routes to | California.— Washington Stales. | Smiths and Browns.—According to \ the new directory, just out for 1858, , we find twenty-eight families of the , well known name of Smith in this city, , land twenty-two of the name of Brown. ; [Smith is, therefore, ahead of Brown in J Savannah. We believe the new direc- , tory does not contain more than 33,- , 500 names. — Savannah Georgian. ] Attempt to Assassinate the Emperor , Napoleon* The Emperor, it is certain, hail had no j 1 previous intimation whatever that an 1 j attempt was to he made on his life, —or I 1 Ihe never would have gone out among! 1 ' crowds of people so frequently and care- 1 iesslv as had been his recent habit. On ! j tile Bth instant, he drove in an open car- ! j riage to the Beds de Boulogne, donned | a fine pair of skates, and mingled with |the multitude- flying on the extensive ' [ lake and canal. On the day before, he hunted lustily in the forest of Fortuine j bleau, and afterwards was abroad along the outer boulevard in his Americanc with two horses. He seems to have re- * solved to afford enough of ocular proof 1 to refute the rumors which the Royal- j ists frequently spread of the decline of his health. The Empress was confined : by catarrh, for a week to her apartments |in the palace. She then appeared seem ingly as well as usual; hut the hall was 1 comparatively thin, owing to the preva ■ lence of the grippe, which occasioned a ; : large number of excuses. I Convicted.— Thomas Thomas, whose ! trial for the murder of Joseph 8. Cross, , lin Lee Superior Court, was mentioned j [last week, was convicted of murder and j sentenced to be executed on the 12th of |next month. The case will, however, j‘ | be taken up to the Supreme Court. j Good Taste in Dress.—A young lady | jin one of the leading circles at Wash ington was complimented by a gentle- I man on the simplicity and good taste. 1 of her dress, at an evening party. She 1 replied : “lam glad you like my dress; | 1 it cost just eleven dollars, and I made j every stitch of it myself.” When our '• young ladies pride themselves upon ,the home manufacture and cheapness : of their attire, instead of the expensive- '■ j ness and foreign importation, we shall have fewer “broken” fathers and hus-; I bands. Lynch Law In Indiana. Indianapolis, Jan. 28.—A mob at Ugonier, arrested three counterfeiters |on Tuesday, and deliberately hanged [ one of them. They were proceeding to I execute a second in the same manner, I when it was agreed by tht majority to j let the law take its course. | The third one, who is guilty of ma king bogus coin, was delivered into the hands of the United States Marshal, and was brought here to-day for trail. The Court placed his bail at $2,000 iD de fault of which he was committed to Jail. BY TELEGRAPH Charleston Market. Charleston, Feb. 2,1 P.

Tbe cargo of the Snow Squall amounted to only 800 bags. Banks and Planters. Mr. Euitor :—Why are the people in several counties holding anti bank meetings? Have they lost a single dol lar by the Bank suspension? Can’t they pay their debts, or buy any prop erty they want with Bank bills, as they ever could ? Don’t every man of them know that they can get more for their Cotton in Bank bills than they can in gold or silver, and as these bills answer all their purposes, how are they injured? lam no advocate for a lengthy sus pension, and want to see the Banks re sume as soon as it can be done without causing too much stringency in the ! money market, but that can not be done until the cotton crop is sent for ! ward. Therefore the best way to in |sure an early resumption, is for every plantcr to sell enough of his cotton to pay his own dehtsatouce. The price is now a fair one, and no planter is justi- ! liable in with-holding his cotton from jmarketaiid letting his debts remain un paid, and if they will do this, it will re- i lieve the merchant, and the merchant | will pay the Banks, and the Banks will I resume specie payments. All that is re quired, is for the planter to pay his own j debts, and before he starts to another j meeting to condemn others, let him look at ids own accounts, and if they have not been paid he had better stay at home, and say nothing, and not be made cats paws for the town politicians. —Georgia Citizen. ® Trifles. Never look at the girls. Oh! no, they can’t bear to be looked at; they regard it as an insult. They wear their line feathers, furbelows and frills mere ly to gratify their mamas—that's all. A subscriber writes to the editor of a Western paper : ‘ I don't want your little paper any longer.’ To which the editor replies ; • I wouldn’t make it any longer, if you did.’ An Illinois editor, speaking of a rogue who lives in that vicinity says ; “The rascal has broken every bank, goal, and Sabbath we have had in this country for the last five years.” ‘Julius, what part ob de ceremonies Ido de ladies most admire when dey go ! to church ?' “ Weil, Pompey, I can’t tell dat— | what is it V j 1 Why ob course, de kins.’ Mr. Theodore Parker delivered a lec ture at New Bedford, on Tuesday night, land among other things wiso and witty |he said; —“The aristocratic families of | Boston began from some bare-legged ; and bare-footed ancestors, and by and Ihye will become bare-legged and bare j footed again.” Dissolution.

Wherever it has had a fair trial, the result has been precisely as Wood predicts. It has never failed to turn the white hair back to the natural color, where the directions have been strictly followed, and in nun erouyeases it has rcstorod the hair upon heads that had been bald for years. It is not pretended that it will make the hair grow in ev ery case., but where it fails there is certainly no remedy. The restoration of the hair has been effected in so many instances where the case seemed utterly hopeless, that it is certain y worth while for all who have lost their hair to try the experiment of using a bottle or two of Wood’s Restorative.— Moline Workman.

IN PINT BOTTLES , IT CONTAINS, in addition to Sarsapa rilla, the Hydro Alcoholic Extract of Queen’s Delight, (Stillingm); While Ash, Grey Board or Fringe Tree, (ChionantUus) ; Tincture of May Apple or Mandrake, (Podophyllum), and Blood Root (Sanguiuaria.) In small doses it is Alterative or laxative; in large doses it acts generally as a mild purgative —with some as an active purgative. In sumo cases no perceptible action on the bowels is cx i perienced. yet iu Liver Complaints, or in Dis eases arising from an impure state of the Blood, its continued use causes a marked improvement in the general health. As an alterative or laxative, it has been found useful in Const pation of the Bowels, Jaundice, Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, £ick Headache, Dizziness, various Female Complaints, Chronic . Affections of the Liver, Secondary Syphilis, and Syphiloid Diseases, Scrofulous Affections, Sores, ’ Ulcers, Blotches, Cutaneous Eruptions or Dis eases of the Skin, and ail other diseases in which Sarsaparilla or alterative medii ines aro indi cated. That it acts upon the Liver, may he known • from the fact that in Jaundice or cases of Bilious ness it causes free bilious evacuations, readily ' removes unnatural yellow tinge about tho eyes, and upon the skin, and improves the health and spirits. [ those who have tried this Alterative for As- I sections of the Liver, have found that it effects a cure naturally and gradually, by improving the health, and that but little or no other medicine is necessary in these affections. Its healthy action on the Liver and purifying effect upon the blood, made it a great preventive of sickness. For children, this is generally all - tlio purgative that is necessary to be given, and as often as otherwise, is all the medicine that is ■ necessary to be given, especially to those tn wb bled with worms, or a debilitated state of health. A preparation of Sarsaparilla, known to bo good, is greatly needed, to keep the liver healthy and the blood pure. Those who try it will find themselves richly paid, by greatly preventing sickness and saving Doctor’s bills.
