Advertisements for the Evening Dispatch must bo handed in by eleven o'clock in the forenoon, in order to appear the same day. The heavy pres sure of advertisements upon the columns of our paper will not admit of their reception after the hour named. 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 patch. with the promise to send the money “ in ! 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. [communicated.} 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 Patron. 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.” River News, There is 9 feet of water in the river.

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.” 1 '■ 1---■ ■■ —■■■- —... * Cmmneraal Intelligence. 1 Latest dates from Liverpool Jan If ■ Latest dates from Havre Jan. 7 Latest dates from Havana Jan. 25 •EVENING dispatch OFFICE, ) Augusta, Wednesday, Feb. 3, P.

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 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.
