Send tlic Cauh.
We are in frequent receipt of letters from al S
portions of this ind the adjoining States, contain- l
ing names of persons subscribing to the Dis

the course of the year.” To all such we would I
say names cannot be entered upon our mail
hooks until the subscription is paid. We are j
aware that times are hard, and that is ono rea
eon why we cannot deviate from our custom.
Nor can we spare time to answer such requests.
We thank our friends for the interest thus mani
fested in the paper, but we must have the money
u* advance.
Tht.trt.
There was a fair house lost night, and
Kjiowi.es’ sterling .play —The Wife, was
presented with t nusual success.
To-night the company will appear in
Eizaro, and an original farce, Great Attrac- j
ton, by Mr. Durivagk, will close the
performance of the evening.
A New Feature.
f It is the highest ambition of the Pro
prietor of the Evening Dispatch to
make it a standard newspaper- not in
comparison with other papers here or
elsewhere—but in the fullest sense of
the word. Our idea of a well edited
journal, is to have a writer for each
special department of popular discus
sion. One man can no more edit a news
paper than one man buld a house.—
Each variety of material requires a sep
arate taste and skill to mould it.
As one mind is seldom master of
many sciences, or an adept in many
branches of knowledge, so one writer
or two, cannot give u newspaper its
true position in the elevated scale of
popular discussion. The editorials of a
newspaper should consist of the cream
of a few chosen intellects—nnd not of
the diluted and skimmilkisli effusion of
one, who, like the mechanic who is
“ Jack at all Trades, is good at none.”
In keeping with this idea, we to-day
offer to our readers a leader from a con
tributing editor, who will during the
year discuss questions of national,
and especially, of Southern interest,
through our columns. In doing this,
we do not swerve from our our original
purpose to maintain for the paper, a
position of independence from party in
fluences or alliances. And as these ar
tides may not always harmonize with
our own views, or indicate a course to
which we would commit the paper,they
will be marked with a star at the bot
tom. They are from one ardent in his
attachment totheSouth,andashe is not
ambitious of fame, his name is with
held from the public. He wieid’s a
ready writer’s pen, and his articles
alone, will commend the Dispatch to
the attention of thinking men.
Our brethren of the preßS will find
him a gentleman every way worthy of
their steel.
Am Item.
While it is the peculiar province of
the newspaper reporter to be delight
ed at the burning of a house, or any
other severe calamity, (delighted only
in a business way, we mean,) it is equal
ly his privilege to take pleasure in no
ticing events of smaller moment.
Tbu6 we take advantage of this priv
ilege to state that a few Sundays past
we were walking leisurely up Telfair
street, when we saw a plank stuck up
in a rut on the crossing, and “whereby
hangs a tail” —i. e., a horse’s tail hung
too close by, for be “put his foot in it,”
(in the rut we mean,) and fractured one
of his legs. The animal should have
been taken immediately to the Aorse-pi
tal ; but it was evidently a poor horse,
and had not a philanthropist come that
way, Bueephalus would have been un
cared for. As it was, thanks to Philan
thropes,'the wounded limb was ban
daged np, and we hope will continue to
serve its purposes for a long time.

Night School.
Me. Editob :—Allow me, for a mo
ment, to tresspass upon you by filling i
up a little space in your paper, for the
purpose of bringing more fully be- ,
fore your readers, a subject which has
very recently been alluded to through
the medium of your sheet, both by ,
editorial comment and advertisement.
®,The subject of an evening school, I j
have reference to. What a benefit j
would such a school confer upon a large i
class were they to attend ? The object 1
is most laudable, and deserves the ful- (
lest patronage of the people of this city, i
particularly from our merchants, in en- '■
•ouraging their clerks, and employees, |
to patronize so worthy an object, by ■
laying before them the great advanta- 1
ges which may accrue, and the great re
sults which wilt be accomplished from
such a course.
The great blessings and advantages
of education, all will admit to be im
perishable and innumerable. Why not,
then, improve the opportunity which
uow presents itself to join the school? 1
Many may say, I must have recrea- ,
tion after the hours of bu Tru- -
! ly, it is very necessary, but attendance
j upon a course of lessons for one hour or
so of an evening, 19 not going to pre
clude the possibility of your taking suf
-1 ficient recreation in physical exercise, j
The exercise which is generally taken
by many, is in a Billiard Saloon, or Bar
room. Is it not infinitely better to
spend an hour in gaming instruction,
in that which will now, and in after life,
prove of great utility and invaluable
And all this can be secured for a mere j
i trifle, in comparison with whatissquan- J
jdered away at places of amusement'
S where the senses are gratified for a short
j time without retaining a particle of in
struction. Understand me, i am no
| puritanical ranter, forbidding honest
j enjoyment to young men ; on the con-!
trary, I am, myself, fond of tiie Dra
ma, and enjoy a play well acted. I now j
and then take pleasure in a game of;
Billiards, nevertheless, I think it fool
lish when too much valuable time is
| consumed in those things, when you
| are passing by the opportunities for ac
quiring knowledge.
Young men, I speak as a friend to i
you. Let me tell you that you will i
never spent it by sacrificing an hour j
■ every evening from your accustomed!
sports, and joining the evening school.!
Remember that “knowledge is power.” i

From Washington.
Washington, Jan. 30.—Mr. Molina
the Minister from Costa Rica has been
officially advised of tbe negotiation of
the late treaty between that Govern
ment and N icaragua. As it settles to a
certain extent the business for which
Mr. Escalante was specially despatched
to Washington he will soon return to
Costa Rica.
A private letter from a high function
ary in Nicaragua, received iu Washing
ton, states that the feeling now exist
ing between the Nicaraguans and Oosta
Ricans is of the most friendly charae
' ter.
The sum of $200,000 in Treasury
. notes was to-day paid to the Mail con
tractors.
' The Government employees are bc
’ ing paid their monthly salaries to-day,
, principally in SIOO treasury notes and a
small portion of specie.
Official advices from the Pacific Coast
show that the Indian tribes though
■ peaceable have been much excited by
rumors which have reached them of
the destruction of the government
stores, and it was feared that there is a
disposition on their part to break out in
open hostilities.
The Committe on Foreign Affairs of
the House are engaged in the prepara
tion of a report on Central American
affairs, which it is said will support gen
erally the views of the President.
A Carton*Bank. Transaction.
The editor of the Belfast (Ireland)
Journal has availed himself of the col
umns of the London Times to expose an
extraordinary transaction in which one
of the Glasgow banks was concerned.
“Not many years since,” says tbe
writer, “a certain gentleman became in
debted to one of these banks to the ex
tent of several hundred thousand pounds;
when he was hauled up it was found that
he had no ‘assets’and the bank, there
fore, insured his life to the extent of
their debt, upon which they of course
pay a very heavy annual tax. This
gentleman called on the bank some time
after, and toldoneof the managers, Tam
offered a lucrative situation in Siera Le
one but you know if I go out there the
policy will be vitiated; however, I must
go as I cannot starve.’ Wiiat then,was 1
to be done? The same man is new com
fortably living on the continent, on an
annuity granted him by this bank,
annuity, added to the premium of insu
rance form a niee little item in the ex
penses of the establishment.”
From Kansas.
Election of tU Democratic Ticket Confirm
ed.
The St. Louis Republican of Thursday
says :
Colin Clarkson, who is on his way to
Washington, iu charge of tile Lecomp
ton Constitution, arriled lierere last
evening from Kansas Territory. This
gentleman confirms the statement al
ready published by us of the result of
the election for Slate officers and the
Legislature, on the4th. The Democrat
ic majority in the Legislature was two
one in each House.
Gen. Calhoun was at Wayndot last
Saturday, and Judge Lecomp'te and Ca
to at Kansas City, on their way to
Washington, when Col. Clarkson left
the Territory, and would probably ar
rive here to-morrow.
General Lane was moving with iris
militia between Lawrence and Leaven
worth, professedly for the purpose of
preserving the peace of the Territory,
which, however, there seemed no dis
position in any quarter to disturb.
There was a question as to the elec
tion of the Representative to Congress;
it being believed that by the rejection
of some votes illegally cast, that Carr,
Democrat, would be declared elected
instead of, as before reported, Parrot,
the Free State candidate.
We are now assured that Mr. Stofer,
whom we have mentioned on two oc- I
cassions previously, is a democratic
member elect to the Legislature from 1
Wayndot. He was lying, at last ac
counts, at that place, in a hopeless con
dition. The ball which shattered the
lower part of thesufferer’sface.olsoserv
ed liis tongue,rendering speech impos
sible. He retains bis faculties.however, 1
so far as to be enabled to write a descrip
tion of tho assassin, of the horse lie '
rode, and an account of all the circum
stances attending the attack. The name
of the fellow was unknown to Mr. Sto
fer, but it was thought tbe description
written by the latter would lead ulli- ’
mately to his apprehension.
Favorite Song of tiie Presidents. |
A Washington correspondent writes: :
“ A novel scene was witnessed at the
White House to-day with the “ Old
Folks Concert Professionals ” and the
President. During their call they pro
posed to sing, and requested Mr. Buch
anan to name the song. He named
“ Sweet Home,” which they sung with 1
effect, making the Presidential mansion 1
echo with their voices.” ,
F. VV. Thomas, Esq.
We copy the following paragraph, in
reference to this gentleman, from the
Charleston Evening E r eics. Mr. Thomas
; is writing a work on the “South and its
Institutions," and he is visiting the dif
ferent places of note, seeing for him
self. He is a Southerner. Mr. Thomas
lived for a long time in Washington
City, where he had an opportunity of
seeing and knowing our distinguished
i men. He will deliver one or two lec
tures while he is here obtaining mate-
I rials for a proper notice of Georgia in
his work. He will lecture on Oratory,
and give notices of Calhoun, Clay,
Webster, Prentice, of Mississippi, and
other distinguished men, whom he
; had the opportunity of hearing and
j knowing. Mr. Thomas also leetures'
j upon the “Early struggles of eminent!
j men, and gives sketches of Edga R. A.
Poe, and other distinguished poets and
writers, whom he personally knew.
“This distinguished lecturer and writer
left our city this morning for Augusta,
j where he proposes to spend a few days,
i and then proceed to Atlanta and other
' j towns in Georgia. He lias been for
! some timesojouruing in our city andhas
| delighted our citzens with several of
I his excellent lectures. It is his purpose
| to publish a work on the South and her
I resources, and is nowcollecting material
for the furtherance of that object. He
| may find it convenient to repeat some of
[ his admirable lectures at Augusta and
other places he may visit in Georgia; we
commend both him and his cause to
the patriotic and public spirited citizens
, ofGeogia.”

1 The Leader In Utah.
Hon. Jefferson Davi6, in a speech in!
the Senato on Monday, paid the fol
.. lowing high tribute to Col. Johnston,
1 j the leader of the Utah Expedition. He
said ;
f j I hold that the country is indebted
_! to the Administration for having selec
ted the man who is at the head of the
. expedition ; who as a soldier, lias not
his superior in the army or out of it;
[ and whosejudgment, whose art, whose!
knowledge is equal to this or any other |
t emergency ; a man of such decision, j
1 such resolution, that his country’s hon
r or can never be tarnished in his bands ;l
[ a man of such calmness, such kindness, |
; that a deluded people can never suffer
t by harshness from him.”

JOYFUL NEWS TO
Rheumatic Sufferers.
Oh, the amount of suffering that has been endur
• ed, and the thousands of deaths that baYO
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.
mHE only sure and radical cvlxq/i
JL discovered. See circular and thefollowfE
CERTIFICATES :
e Ido hereby certify that, after sufferingfis
B thirty-three years with the most excruciatii
' pain from Chronic Rheumatism, and finding?!
• permanent relief from any of the many preset |
tions given me by different physicians, I il
now entirely well, not onlyof Rheumatism
1 self, but likewise of its effects. This cure as
effected by a preparatiou styled Lynch’s Att-
Kheumatic Powders Os these pow'ders I took
1 two dozen, and hav mot had any symptoms of
my old pains for thr c « years. Tho effect upon
me was like magic Within three days after ,
> bad taken the first powder, my pains disappear
ed, and I have been entirely clear of them up to
the present time.
1 To all suffering from Rheumatism Ido 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 Ijnch.
Eatonton, April 22, 1866.
I have no hesitation in saying, that after hav
ing suffered for upwards of thirty years with
Rheumatism in the most dreadful form—first in
my toes, then my thumbs, wrists and knees, ar.«l
• lastly, most excruciatingly in my neck, I toek
) two or three dozen of Lynch’s Anti Rheumatic
) Powders, and notwithstanding lam old and my
) constitution much shattered, 1 have received tho
) greatest beueflt imaginable; m3’ relief from
) sufferingand pain, I cannot attrib’ e*o anything
) but the jiowders, for I have ti •d. vorytlhng
)in vain, that friends could suggest : v^iciai
) prescribe. I would, therefore, c:iru«ally n
) commend them to every sufferer of this dreai
) ful disease, let him be old or young.
1 Rob’t Mytuck:
) Eatonton, April 2, 1855.
) lam happy to state, for the benefit of tho*
) who are afflicted with Rheumatism, that a pa\
) feet cure has been affected in the person of anc
> gro man of mine by Lynch’s Anti RheumaL
) Powders, the said boy having suffered with 1
incessantly for twenty years, lost at least one
j third of his time until he took the above ]>ow
) ders. Since which time, now nearly two years
j he has been a valuable and constant field hand
j uever having suffered with Rheumatism since
} to the best of my knowledge, and I take pleas
j ire in recommending them to those thus afflict
Mildred L. Collingsworth.

J 1 tan safely testify to the efficacy of Lynch’s
Anti-Rheumatic Powders, having been entirely

years siuce, after having been severely afflicted
with it for seven previous years.

RECOMMENDATIONS :
New Orlkans, April 9, 1855.
Dear Sir: The public generally areftillyawat
of the thousands of remedies for diseased Lung
‘ under the titles of Sarsaparillas, Pills, Piaster
r Liniments. Ac., that are daily brought to the
j notice througd the newspapers byway of adve
tisements. My object in writing this note fc
' publication is to induce the public, or at lea*
1 those who are afflicted, to use one that contains
articles of Heal Use iu Pulmonary Diseases. I
am conscious that in so doing, I am acting most
ull professionally and derogatorily to the inter-
J ests of medical science and the regular practl
J tioners of medicine. 1 refer to Woodman’s Cber
{ f y Expectorant, which is a scientific remedy
’ that I have used with more success than any'of
? the usual prescriptions used by Physicians
J. M. Maitland, M D.
Gallatin, Miss., May 1, 1856.
• O. O. Woodman— Dear Sir : I have given your
Cherry Expectorant a fair trial, and am well
; Pleased with its effect-better than any ether
■ article I ever met witn. I would be pleased to
have you send me a dozen bottles by the bearer
Respectfully, W. M. Mason, M. D.
This preparation has attained a wide celebrity
from the universal successes which has attended
its use. For coughs, colds, and in fact any pul
monary complaints this medicine, from its pecu
liar properties as a ditsol vent, and its soothing
power to ull irritations of tho throat, will proba
bly be preferred to any other ottered to the pub
lie. As an appetizer or dyspeptic remedy, it wil?
also be foaud excellent, its natural and geuia
warmth keeping the digestive powers in prope:
tone.
Remember that this is tho only Cough Med
cine that has stood the test of the medical frater
nity. It is sanctioned by, approved of, and re
commended by the leading physicians of New
York city. Every bottle is warranted to give
satisfaction or tho money refunded, Wo guar
antee it to be betb-r than any Cherry Pectoaal.
