tfbnung Dispatch. 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. [communicated.] 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. A Friend to the South. 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. Life 111 Kalians. 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. RICE, —10 tierces prime RICE, for sale low by JtjSIAH SIBLEY & SONS, jao3o No. 6 Warren Block. VINEGAR. 20 bbl 6.
