STA. G A:
SalunUy Evening, Fib. c . wSB
- Sonthwwd.
The state of things in Centj-al Araeri-1
ca and in Mexico, is attracting a very
large share of attention in this country
as well as abroad.
Mexico is called a “sick man” and
there are a number of parties ambitious
to administer on his effects. General
Wacker, once recognized as the legiti
mate successor to Central American do
minion, having abdicated, there is a
still wider field for expansion amid the
tropics. These have been regarded the
natural “outlets” for slavery ; and our.
leading statesmen— among whom are;
the President aud Hon Wacker advo
cated the annexation of Texas as open-.
ing the door for such expansion. But
the Freesoilers, having a keen scent for
anything that relates to Sambo, are
waking up to the necessity of meeting ;
this movement, and are getting up Col- j
onization Societies for Central America. ;
They have so many elements of coloni
zation as to render hopeless any eftort j
to cope with them by legitimate South
ern expansion. We have tried it in
Kansas with a doubtful result; we have
been trying it ever since the confedera
tion , and from a very large majority of
slave States, they have gradually gained
upon us, until we are already at their
mercy in Congress. Where this is to
-end, it is impossible to foresee ; but it
would seem to be time for the South to
begin to look about, before Ehe is hedg
ed in by the tide of free labor, now at- 1
tractcd to her Southern, as it hits long
been to her Western borders.
Yellow Fever at Norfolk.
His Honor, Mayor Conchy, has laid on

I founded on the rorccAß theatrical
PLAY OF THAT NAME.
Mr. Fillicoddy ! Mr. Philliooddy !”
exclaimed that gentleman's spouse,
i hastily entering the garden, as he closed
the gate behind him. “Why I thought
i lie w : as here; I'm sure I heard a voice,”
I she continued, looking about her in sur
! prise. “ Who am that lady he coming
1 down the road ? As I live, it s my sis
ter thilia!” . , , ,
“Anastasia PillicoddyJ” ejaculated
; sister Julia iu a tone of voice that show
ed something out of the common was to.
I pay, as with a carpet-bag in one hand
i and a big green umbrella in the other,
she charged into the garden and at her
;sister, “Anastasia Pillicoddy, look me
I in the face and tell me if I don’t look
I the picture of misery ?”
“ Why, Julia, what can be the mat
ter?” said Mrs Pillicoddy, anxiously.
; “ Sit down and explain.”
, “ I will ” ictuvned sister Julia, seat
i ing herself on a bench by the side oi
I Mrs. Pillicoddy. “ It's just four years
(ago, Anastasia Pillicoddy, since you and
II got up up one cold, frosty morning
and walked to Gosport church, where
we were severely united in the bonds of
matrimony to the men of our hearts ;
.'you to Captain Fitzpatrick O'Scuttie,
|and I to his second cousin, Captain
' jFitzgerland O'Scuttie. At the end of
three years, your husband disappeared
jin a gale of wind, and left you a widow.
11 wish I could say the same of mine.”
-1 Mrs. Pillicoddy intimated that she
• was shocked.
“ You think the expression too ener
getic; wait till you have heard the atro
’ l cious particulars. When my husband
sailed on his last voyage, a year ago, I
f requested as a particular favor, to be al;
. lowed to accompany him. He objected
j the Lively Polly sailed without me, and
r my huslnmd said he should return in
, I six months ; at the end of that time,
i I got a letter from him saying he should
j not he back quite so soon. Three
i j months more passed, and I got another
. i letter, saying that he had been detained
jby contrary winds and strong currents
! —very convenient things, these contra
ry winds and strong currents. A whole
| year passed, and I was gradually becorn
| ing tolerable comfortable in my inflict
ed state, when yesterday morning at
} breakfast, news was brought me that
the Lively Polly had been signalled off
the port. Os course I went into exta
cies, hut they didn’t last long; I had
no sooner heard of the Lively Polly’s!
j safe arrival, than in came the mate of j
vessel, whom mv husband had sent on j
j shore. He had two letters in his hand j
! one forme, and the other for an itimate I
friend of my husband's. I offered to j
j deliver it ; I took it and —”
I “ Opened it ?” interrupted Mrs. Pilli-1
coddy.
j “ Decidedly opened it! The contents
j paralyzed me ! There’s tho letter —de-|
jvour its contents ?”
! “ Dear Tom,” began Mr. Pillicoddy, J
| taking the letter from her sister, and
| reading aloud.
j “ Yes, the letter’s addressed to Cap
tain Thomas Trumpet—some marine
monster I never hear of. But never
j mind the first part ; come down to yhe
P. S.”
“ Postscript,” continued Mrs. Pilli
j coddy. reading. “ I forgot to mention
that I have brought Jenny with me—
the dear creature I told you about.—
Now, my dear Tom, you must take
charge of her for the present, as mv j
wife must be kept entirely in the dark
■ you understand ?”—Well, Julia, I must
confess that your husband's conduct is
' suspicious, and I should advise you to
I I return to Portsmouth immediately and
i demand an explanation !”
j “ You advise me to see the wretch
I again !” exclaimed Julia, vehemently,
i How, I should like to inquire, do you
suppose he.can satisfactorialy explain
I such a thing as this ? No, I’ll not go
i back !”
! “ But lam afraid you cannot remain
1 ! here. Mr. Pillicooddy’s notion of fe
male propriety are so scrupulous, that
I'm sure he would severely blame your
oouduct in leaving home. I think,how
ever, 1 can find the accommodation yon
require at the house of a friend of
mine. ”
“ 0, thank you !" returned Julia.ein
hracing her sister. “Ha! some one is
; coming. ’ ’
j “ Then step into this room, and I’ll
j rejoin you immediately,” said Mrs. I’il
| licoddy, showing hev sister in at one
| door and herself out at other, about
j half a second before the somebody that
was coming actually did come.
The new arrival was a large man of!
rather salt appearance, dressed in a
rough pea-jacket, hell muzzled duck I
breeches, a tarpaulin hat, and armed
| witii a long spy-glass. He entered on j
j the run. took aim with his telescope, j
looked earnestly and carefully about j
the garden, and began pacing rapidly j
to and fro on one of the walks.
“ I can’t he mistaken !” he muttered
to himself. “ No, I saw a female enter
this house ; a smart, rakish-looking lit
tle craft, just the same build and rig
ging as Mrs. O'Scuttie ; hut for the life
of me I couldn’t distiguish her figure
head. However, I've traced her to
j Southampton, and, by the powers, I'll j
j not give up the chase till I discover her j
| latitude and longitude. [Suddenly he j
(aimed his glass again.] Hullo I—stop !,
(1 11 trouble you to shorten sail aud I
bring to.” ’ ,
j ” Bring two!—two what?” asked Mr.'
i Pillicoddy, who was the person hailed, j
• as he returned to the garden.
I “So, sir, it seems I’ve found you at I
| last?” growled the stranger. "I be
j lieve your name is Pilli—something or
! other?”
j “ No, sir, it is not Pili-something or
! other—it's Pillicoddy—John
coddy ?”
“ Very well, sir; listen to me,” re
' turned the stranger, in a voice of thun
jder. ‘She's here.”
“ There is no neccessity, sir, for exer
cising your organ in that manner,”
said Mr. Pillicoddy, rather taken aback
by the stranger’s peculiar style.
> “ I repeat, she's here!” continued the
stranger, very rapidly and fiercely.—
j“You can’t deny it. Don’t speak;}
| you have hot a word to say ; don’t in-;
! terrupt me! How did she come here ?
When did she come here ? Why did she j
corns here?”
“Really, my dear sir, tne pronoun!
»hr being applicable to the entire fe
male sex, I must trouble you to clearly l
define the particular she you mean by
she.”
’“ My wife, sir!” yelled the stranger,
louder than ever.
“Your wife, sir?” echoed Pillicoddy,
considerably staggered. “ Your wife,
pooh, pooh! I beg to observe there’s
nothing personal in my pooh, pooh ;
therefore, as I said before, pooh, pooh,
I know nothing of your wife; how
should I? There's only one marrid fe
' male in this house, and she happens to j
’! be my wife.'
“ Don’t trifle with me Pilli-whatov
-ler it is. I saw her, distinctly saw her, i
at a window on that side of the house*;
■ and that must be ttie room,” and he
started toward the door through which
: Julia had vanished ; “ so, sir, if you’ve
. uo objections, we’ll have her out.
, j “ ileware, mariner, beware!” ex
claimed Pillicoddy, throwing himself
[ | before the stranger. “ I’m small, but
’ | desperate ; diminutive, but determin
ed ! And vet, as Anastasia is at. this
1 1 moment in the parlor, and you insist
that your wife is in that room, have her
[! out by all means. There don't happen
|-| to be anybody there—nevertheless,
have her out."
’j “O, there’s nobody, here, eh?” said
r j the stranger, trying the door, and en
i j deavoring to look through the key
’ hole; “ then'how happens the door to
bo locked on the inside of it, eh ?”
“Hullo, sir! No looking through
' the key-hole; delicacy forbids!" said
Pillicoddy, pulling him away.
1 “Hark ye, Pilli—whatever it is!—
! Don’t presume to trifle witii me any
i longer, or, by the blood of the 0 Scut
* ties ”
5 “ The K-h-a-t ?” faltered Pillicoddy.
. stands before you.”
’ “ Arc you that man ? Does this
’ hand really and truly grasp a Scuttle ?”
J murmured Pillicoddy, in a very plain
, tive tone indeed, as he sank upon a
1 bench and buried his face in his hands.
‘ “ Yet, stop—wait a bit!” lie suddenly
exclaimed, starting up with considera
e hie animation ; “ my dear sir, allow me
to call your attention to a trilling hut
important fact, that seems to have en-
I tirely slipped your memory, and that is, j
T you are drowned ” i
“O, I’m drowned, am I?” sneered
’ captain.
J “ You know you tfre; you are at this
very moment at the bottom of the sea.
1 And yet I see no barnacles on thee!—
: There was no end of tears shed for you
I at first; but now yon are forgotten, the
* world gets along very comfortably with-
I I out you ; so why destroy tho agreeable
J i delusion ? Now go back from whence
8 you came. I have considered the point
’ in all its bearings, and 1 should be neg- j
* lecting a duty, a sacred duty, if 1 did i
' | not advise you to go back from whence j
’j you came.”

of the sea for some timp. Let me tell j

' I once again beheld the w hite cliffs of

“Don’t mind me, sir,” returned Filli

FIRST SESSION.
Washington, Feb. 3,1858. j
SENATE.
Several unimportant bills were read a i
, third time and passed, and others were
. referred to the appropriate committees.
The debate on the President’s mes
, sane was resumed.
. j Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, moved
| to amend the motion for reference to a
select committee, by authorizing the
■ committee to send for persons and pa
, pers. He characterized the message as
I a tissue of stupendous misrepresenta
tions. The President, lie said, was ab
sent as minister to a foreign court when
many of the events occurred in Kansas,
and was elected to his present position
because absent and able to prove an
, alibi. He denounced the Lecompton
Constitution. He would rather have
, the proposed Constitution with slavery
. than without, because the former could
; be changed, but the latter recognizes as
* unalterable property the slaves aheady
. In Kansas.

the Senator from Massachusetts.

A curious case is now before one of j.
the colored churches at Buffalo. Two
members —man and wife —lived unhap- ?
; pily together. The husband found liis
! life so uncomfortable that he at last re
solved to take the benefit of the fugi
j tive slave law. His wife was a fugitive i
jby the underground railroad, and he

' he wrote to her former master at the

A Stormy Sight In Congress.
Washington, Feb. G—A. M. —The
! j House of representatives adjourned this
I morning at six o'clock, after an excited
' j and stormy session all night. The con
! test was on the adoption of the resoln
. ; tion offered by Mr. Harris, of Illinois,
S the purport of which is, that the rnes
. | sage of the President and the Lecomp
■ ton Constitution, he referred to a select
’ j committee of thirteen, to he appointed
,' by the Speaker, to inquire into all facts
II connected with said Constitution, and
I the laws, if any, under which the Con
vention was held, and whether the pro
■! visions of the law were complied with.
! Also, whether said Constitution provides
for a Republican form of Government,
| a ud whether the population he sufficient
j i for a representative to Congress under
| the present ratio; and whether the Con
1, stitution is satisfactory to the majority
|of the legal voters in Kansas. Also, to
’ i ascertain the number of votes cast for
' | the Constitution; the places where cast in
;' each county ; tiro census or registration
• i under which the election of delegates
j was held, and whether the same was
: just and fair, and iu compliance with
law ; with all other matter hearing on
the subject.
The friends of the Lecorapton Con
stitution endeavored to take a vote in
favor of the admission of Kansas, be
fore the adjournment of the House,
! while those, in favor of the passage of
Mr. Harris’ resolution, endeavored to
I adjourn.
About half-past two o’clock last night
I a fight took place between Hon’s. L. M.
j Keitt, of South Carolina, and Galusha
|A. Grow, of Pennsylvania. Several
blows passed, the crowd of members
| rushed to the scene, and there appeared
fora time, that there were indications!
j of n “free fight.”
j Mr. Speaker Orr succeded, in a few ;
! moments, in restoring order.
1 The House finally agreed to adjourn
hv the passage of a unanimously adopt

gC Wood's Hair liestora
tive.—This wonderful preparation is having an
i extensive sale in all plrts of the Union. It is
one of the few patent medicines which are now
sold over the country, that are really what their
inventors claim for them. Wherever it has had
u fair trial, the result has been precisely as
Wood predicts. It has never failed to turn the
white liuir hack to the natural color, where the
directions' have been strictly followed, and in
nu • erous cases it has restored the hair upon
heads that had been bald for years. It is not

ery case, but where it fails there is certainly no
remedy. The restoration of the hair lias been
effected in so many instances where the case
seemed utterly hopeless, that it is cortaiu y j

Opinions of tlie Press.—
\Ve take pleasure in referring to the virtue of
Davis’ Pain Killer. We have used the article
and found it valuable. The sale of this article in
the United States is beyond all precedent, as the
ifuoks of the office will show. —Cincinnati Csm
• mercial.
Davis’ Vkgetarie Pain Kiu.hr.—We first heard
of tbi% medicine uuring a visit to the New Eng
land states, and being struck with the novelty
of the title, were induced to make some inquiry
about it; and we were surprised to learn that it
was kept constantly in the houses of most of the
inhabitants of the cities and villages where we
stopped, to be used in case of sudden attacks of
pain, burns, scalds, etc., and we heard it spoken
* f in terms of high commendation, both by
drug. ists aud physicians.— Phil. Punic.
Perry Davis' Pain Killer.— lt is a great plea
sure to us to speak favorably of this article
known almost universally to be a good and safe
remedy for burns and other pains of the body.
It is valuable not only for colds in the winter,
but for various summer complaints, and should
bo in every family. Tho casualty which de
mands it may come unawares.— Chris. Ado.
Valuable Medicine.— Tho sale of that remark
able aud truly valuable preparation, Perry Davis
Pain Killer, is constantly aud rapidly increasing.
During the past year, the demand for this great
remedy has been altogether unprecedented.
Scarcely a week passes by during which we do
not hear of some remarkable cure having been
performed, within the circle of our acquaintance
by the use or • Perry Davis’ Pain Killer.’— Prov.
