GA_:
Monday Evening. F«b. 8, WM. _
An Agree" l * l ' Keflectlon.
Mr. Andrew Jack-os Davis, iu dis
coursing upon Spiritualism, in St Lou
is took occasion to say that Death
-was -the merest nothing; not much
more than going from one room to an
other ; mereh an exfoliation of the
spirit; the gentlest emergence into an
other State; an event only occupying
about fifteen minutes.’ It is to be
hoped that the authoritative statement
■will, at once, relieve the human family
and the animal creation of the unneces
sary apprehensions which are generally
entertained upon the subject.
Tli© Embeulement.
The Hartford Free Press says that the j
embezzlement of the funds of the Hart- 1
ford Savings Association, by Hr. Sey- ■
kocr, will probably absorb the capital of I
that institution ($100,000) hut it is not j
likely that the depositors will lose any- j
thing :
Among the speculations for which
Mr. Seymour used the funds of the As
sociation, are the Bristol Copper Mine,,
a Silver Mine in Mexico, the Great AVes
tern Stone Company in Chicago, a fur
nace or rolling mill at Pride vale, A a.,
and a real estate speculation in Brook
lyn, He transferred his real estate in
Hartford to his relatives on Friday last.
The .Etna Life Insurance Company, of
which he was Vice President, will lose
nothing. Mr. Seymour is forty years
old and unmarried. He told a friend
on Friday last that he had used about
SIOO,OOO belonging to the Association;
that he was going away and that his
friends would never see him again.—
Which way he has gone no one knows.

Chinese Sugar Cane.
Mr. Editor Knowing that you,
with many of your subscribers, feel a
deep interest in all the varied depart
ments of agriculture, especially every
thing that is calculated to promote the
interests of the South, I have been sur
prised lately to see so little written or 1
published in your paper on the subject
of raising the Chinese Sugar Cane. I
consider it the most valuable crop for
the South that has ever been put into |,
the soil. For this belief I will give my |'
reasons:
Last Spring, about the first of April,
I planted on my farm about 14 acres of i
good land in that crop, putting it in!
rows about four feet apart, and in the
drill, fifteen to twenty inches. The
growth was a luxuriant one. The crop
was so thick by the middle of June that!
we found it impossible to work it. By the
Ist of August it was ripe enough for food j
for hogs. We fed 200 hogs on it, they :
getting not a bushel of com. Os the
hogs we killed over 100, all in fine or
der, with the use of but a few bushels of j
com. AVe also crushed cane enough to
make between 1,800 and 1,400 gallons;
of prime syrup, the worth of which at ■
the farm was 50 cents per gallon. A,
portion of it was sold at 75 cts. About j \
one half, we think, of the Cane was'
used for syrup. Part of the balance,];
after stock had been fed on it all the'!
while, was on the land where we sowed |
wheat.
It will be seen, from this statement,
that 200 gallons of syrup was made to j
the acre; and at 50 cents per gallon, j
SIOO was gathered from each of the sev- J
cn acres. The seed was gathered from j
that part of the stalk that eyas crushed, i
say about 30 bushels to the acre, which j
I consider as valuable as corn itself, in ;
feeding stock.
Now, sir, I defy any man in Georgia to
show up 14 acres of any other crop
equal to this. lam of the opinion that
the seed and stalks consumed off the
seven acres, did my stock more good
than 700 bushels of corn would have;
done. In view of this statement (which j
can be substantiated by a number of'
witnesses if need be,) is my surprise to;
be wondered at, that so little should be j
said by the press on the subject? I
would give one hundred dollars for a
bushel of the seed, in preference to
abandoning its culture, and think I
have made a good investment. I intend
increasing the quantity of laud planted
this season, and if the season is as fa
vorable, I expect to make even a better
showing than last year. This crop is no
more difficult to raise than the common
Indian com. It will stand the dought
far better.

Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.
Talladega, Ala., Feb. 8,1858.
A tragical allair occurred here last
night. Dr. B. McKenzie, one of our
most worthy citizins, and a member of
the City Council, terminated his life in
a singular way. It appears that he had
gone to bed as usual, and was found
dead in his room this morning. He got
out of bed and provided himself with a |
razor, made several incisions in the!
groin, and finally succeeded in cutting j
the main artery, and bled to death. No j
cause can be assigned for the act, unless
it be embarrassment in pecuniary affairs.
He bad shown some symptoms of an
impaired mind a few days ago, but not
enough to create any uneasiness in his
friends, that he would destroy liimself.
He had lived here for twenty-five years,
a portion of which time he practiced
med'eine, hut had abandoned the pro
fession some years ago. S.
POOR PILLICODY
—o —
FOUNDED ON THE POPULAR THEATRICAL
PLAY OF THAT NAME.
“ Mrs. O’Scuttle liad left her home,
continued the captain; sighing deeply.
“He calls her Mrs. O'Scuttle! thought
Pillicoddy. “Then he’s not—he seems
so entirely broken down by grief, phys
ically as well as mentally, that I think
I may venture to tell him. My dear
sir,” he continued, turning to the cap
tain, “ will you allow me to mention to
you in confidence, that when you pre
sented youself before me for the first
time, I immediately made this observa
tion to myself within myself *. ‘lf there
ever was a man cut out by nature to ■
bear a shock like a Briton, this man is j
the man.’ I don’t wish to Hatter you, -
but to myself, within myself, I. made
that observation." . !
"Indeed!” returned the captain,
marching to Pillicoddy very fiercely and
threateningly; "and pray, sir, didn t it
occur to you, at the same time, that I
was just the sort of a man to cut your
] throat, or any man’s that dared to do
i me an injury ?”
" A\ r hv, no, I can’t say ”
"Can t you?" Their, by the powers,
I I’ll show you that it is so, if you don’t
immediately and satisfactorily explain
r 1 how it is that I find my wife in your
;j house!” ~
" lour wife?" returned Pillicoddy,
} endeaving to assume a conciliatory and
! patronizing manner. “ When yoa say
your wife, of course you are naturally
- powerfully impressed with the pleasing
. | but slightly erroneous idea that she is
.! your wife 1 Did it never occur to you,
■ as you were a wretched Robinson Cru
soe, that your wife might naturally
• fancy herself a widow ; and fancying
i herself a widow, she might equally nat
urally endeavor to console herself i or
: your loss by—in short, marrying again ;
. for instance, me ?”
I " What?” yelled the captain, “You
[ don’t mean to tell me you’ve married
; my wife ?’’
“ Certainly not, sir ; I’ve married
your widow.”
" Widow ? How can that be when I
am alive ?"
" But you have no business to be
alive ; it’s the height of absurdity on
your part to be alive.”
“ Faithless, perjured woman!” groan
ed the captain, slapping his forehead.—
j “ But I'll be the death other!” lie con
tinued, furiously, as he rushed out of
| the garden ga:e. “Tell her to pack
j up instantly, and prepare to follow her
lawful husband.”
" AVliat’s to be done ?” exclaimed
j Pillicoddy, in despair. “Give up An
|astasia ?—never? AVhat would life be to
|me without my Anastasia ?—nothing,
j What would Anastasia be to me with
out life ?—nothing still. So let my cry
I be, 1 Anastasia or death !’ with a decid
led preference for Anastasia. What’s
I to be done, I ask? Ah, yes—if we could ,
only make our escape together, before
! the infuriatud Scuttle returns; I will ,
I try it ; it’s now so dark he couldn’t see
| us. Open the door !” he shouted, go
ring to the room where Julia was con
jcealed. “ Open the door, Isay! The
i house is on fire ! It’s I, your Pillicod
idy—your John Peter!” he continued,
clasping Julia in his arms, as she came
out from the room. “My dream—my
; nightmare has come true !—Robinson
jCiusoe has turned up again!—l mean
j your husband; no, not your Ims
j band—”
j “ I thought so ; I was sure I heard
the good-for-nothing fellow s voice,”
returned Julia. “ Can it be possible ?
I Does he love me still ?”
“ He says he adores yon; so much so,
i that he swears he will be the death of
j you, and me too ; so let’s fly beloved of
jinysoul, let’s fly together—”
! “ Who can this he ?” [said Julia, ;
| alarmed at his somewhat demonstrative 1
i style of grabbing hold of anil clawing '
| her about. “AVhat matchless impu
jdence! Let me go, sir !’’ And break- 1
| iug from him, she ran across the garden '
, and disappeared in the green house. !
j “ She breaks from me!” murmured •
j Pillicoddy, staggering against the wall,
supposing Julia to be his wife. “ I uu- 1
I derstand it all ; she loves her first—she
j said so. She will follow her first thro’ i
i the world; she will put down her I’illi- j
cuddy and take up her Scuttle—she
' said so. O, what execrable taste ! —to
I say nothing of the base ingratitude of
; the woman, after no end of new bonnets
I have bought her. What will become
!of me? Curiosity is not naturally one of
imy feelings, but it would be satisfacto
ry to have some faint idea of what will
become [of me ” And lie again sank j
down on the bench and hid his face in
| his hands.
“ (Surely I cannot he mistaken,” said
Alts. Pillicoddy, as she entered the gar-1
I ilen on tiptoe, and groped her way along J
j the walk; “the gentleman that qcaught |
; a glimpse of a few moments ago walk-1
|mg about the grounds. I haven't seen j
I Captain O'Scuttle for four years and it’s
j almost too dark to recognize any one to
[acertainty, yet I am quite sure—ah,
| theres somebody here ! Can it bo lie ?
I If so, I will inform him at once of Julia’s
arrival. Is that you, captain?” (she
continued, raising her voice ; “is that
you ?”
“Captain!” murmured Pillicoddy.—
“She thinks it’s Robinson Crusoe; she
takes her second for her first!” Yes,”
he continued, raising his voice, and try
ing to talk sailor—“ Aye, aye, my hear
ty ! Shiver my timbers! Haul away,
my O, boys!”
“ Then listen to me,” said Mrs. Pilli
coddy, hastily approaching him. “Your
wife is here; she may have acted a lit
tle imprudently, but I’m sure you’ll
forgive her, like a dear, kind, affection
ate husband that you are. Believe me,
she loves you as dearly as ever ; so lose
no time, but take her away at once, be
fore Air. Pillicoddy knows anything
about the matter.
“Ha, ha, ha!” shouted Pillicoddy,
wildly. “Ha, ha, ha! Go to your
' first! Resume your Scuttle! Follow
your Scuttle throughout the world ! Go
perjured, capricious Anastasia, go !
Don t think to break my heart; no, no, \
here I'll stay and calmly witness your j
departure. Ha, here he comes!" he ex-!
claimed, still more wildly, as the cap-!
tain entered through the gate. “Cru- j
j soe comes to claim his wife ; the gentle !
j Robinson approaches ! Come in, Bar
, nacles, don't be shy ; come in, I say!—
There, take her and my blessing along
I with her! And pushing her into the
; captain’s arms, he rushed into the shop
and dosed and bolted the door. “ And
j now—now,” he continued, lighting a
- candle, “what has Pillicoddy to live
; for?—nothing. Ergo, Pillicoddy dies!
But the means! 1 can't swim, so there
is no use thinking of diowning myself;
■ and apothecaries wont dispose of arsenic,
I except for rats ; and although the ma
jority of apothecaries are proverbially
credulous, still I feel it would be useless
lor me to pass myself off for a specimen
of that species of vermin. Ha, yes, one
of those useless and long neglected
drawers contains popyheads, and pop
py seeds taken incessantly for several
weeks, produce immediate dissolution.
Happy thought! Here are the poppy
heads ; what whoppers ! Fortunate for
Pillicoddy that they should happen to
be whoppers!” And he munched them
ravenously. ‘ 1 Anything more unsavory
I might say nasty, I never tasted. Nev
er mind, it will soon be over, and then
an inquest will be held upon me.—
Twelve of my most intimate friends
and fellow townsmen will—but stop —
the worst of it is, that all this will add
considerably to the perfidious Anstas
, ia’s worldly happiness. O, if I could
, 1 only do something to destroy the per
fidious Anastasia’s worldly happiness
1 i beforo the *popy heads produce their
[i effect. Ha! what do I see?” he ex-
I claimed, as Julia entered the shop by
;another door. “A lovely female!—
j' and shall I hesitate! —no, Anastasia,
, sihus I cast you off forever! —thus do I
i tear your loved image from my bosom,
.. and supply its place with yonder exquis
ite stranger. Happy idea ! I will about
it straight.” And approaching Julia,
he fell on his knees before her. “En
chanting being, pardon the candor ol a
i stranger, a total stranger, hut I have a
request to make, a trifling one, and that
is, that you will from this moment en
-1 shrine me in the innermost recesses of
your heart!”
j “Mr. Pillicoddy?” ejaculated Julia,
* in astonishment.
“ Yes, your Pillicoddy; so take me;
[ all I have is yours; my house, my
’ shop, my grounds, my flowers, my very
' cucumber frames! lam only following
’ the perfidious Anastasia's example.—
[ She has recovered her Scuttle, and. is
happy in that Scuttle. In short, give
’ her a cottage and her Scuttle, and I be
[ lieve she would be content. Yes, she
loves the colossal mariner—she told me
; so! They are now together in the gar
den—no they aren’t; here they come!”
1 And springing from his knees, much
moved by the sight of his wife, he rush
ed towards tho captain. ‘‘ My Anastas
ia!” he exclaimed, imploringly; "I
can’t give her up!—l wont give her up!
Scuttle, my gentle Scuttle, my gallant
Scuttle, don't take her from me! !”
“ Confound Anastasia! —who in thun
der wants her ?” growled the captain.
“I want my wife ; that woman there.”
“ Anastasia, he doesn’t want you !”
shouted Pillicoddy, clasping his wife in
. his arms. “ Anastasia, the great Scut
tle doesn’t want you!”
“ Captain Fitzgerald O’Scuttle,” said
Julia, as that gentleman approached
her, “as you have forced yourself into
my presence, be pleased to explain that
P. S.; in its present state, that P. S.
reads anything hut pleasantly.”
“ AVhat? jealous of little Jenny ?” ex
claimed the captain with a loud laugh.
“ Why, that mysterious female happens
to he the most elegant little Brazilian
monkey that you ever clapped eyes on,
and I intended to surprise you with it.”
‘ 1 A monkey for me ? O, my dear,
dear husband !” murmured Julia, al-|
lowing him to embrace and lead her
from the shop.
“Hurrah! Crusoe has stepped out!
Robinson lias traveled! Barnacles has
departed !” shouted Pillicoddy, sinking
Into a chair, overcomo with joy and
poppy heads, and the next moment lie
was fast a sleep in the allied arms of
Alorpheus and Mrs. Tillicoddy.

Dan McFarland writes to the Ports
mouth Tribune, from Carson, Kansas Ter
ritory, under date of 13th January.—
Carson had become the County seat of
Brown. Dan was busy erecting a court
house. Court was holding its session
in a blacksmith’s shop; and Dan’s wife
was acting as landlady to the judges,
lawyers, jury, etc. Dan’s cabin served
as headquarters for tho honorable jyjlg
cs, high sheriff, and lawyers.
One day while the Court was in ses
sion. two beautiful deer went past the
door on a full jump. The “Bar” made
a general rush for tho game, while the
judge was left dozingaipon “the tench;”
to wit, an anvil-block. Deer are seen
almost daily.
The weather was delightful, warm
and dry, like Indian summer in Ohio.

directions have been strictly followed, and in
nun erous cases it has restored 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 lail3 there is certainly no
remedy. The restoration of the hair has been j
effected in so many instances where the case I
seemed utterly hopeless, that it is certain y !
worth while lor all who have lost their hair to j
try the experiment of using a bottle or two of:

UtrOpinions of tUe Press.—
We lake pleasure in referring to the virtue of
Davis’ Pain Killer. We have used the article j
and found it valuable. The sale of this article in
j the United States is beyond all precedent, as the J
ifooks of the office will show. —Cincinnati Com- |
I inertial.
1 Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer.—Wo first heard j
1 of this medicine uuring a visit to the New Eng- :
j land States, und being struck with the novelty j
i of the title, were induced to make some inquiry i
| about it; and we were surprised to learn that it .
j was kept constantly in the houses of most ol the j
\ inhabitants of the cities and villages where we |
stopped, to be used in case of sudden attacks of i
pain, burns, scalds, etc.. and we heard it spoken |
of in terms of high commendation, both by
druggists and physicians.— Phil. Eagle.
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 sale
~ remedy for burns and other pains; of the body.
It i- valuable not only for colds in the winter,
but for various summer complaints, and should
be in every family. The casualty which dc
-1 mands it mav go roe unawares.— Chris. Adv.
. Valuable Medico —The sale of that remark
able and truly valuable preparation. Perry Davis
l Fain Killer, is constantly and rapidly incofeasing.
During the past year, the demt&b for this great
remedv has been altogether unprecedented.
L Scarcely a week passes by during which wo do
not hear of some remarkable cure having
f performed, within the circle of our acquaintance
by the use of 1 Perry Davis’ Pain Killer.’— Pram.
