Friday Evening, Fcl». 19, 1858.
Chinese Insolence.
We learn by our latest foreign ad
vices, says the Baltimore Clipper, that
Canton is to be bombarded. The ulti
matum of the English and French Plen
ipotentiaries has not only been treated
with disdain, by his Celestial Majesty,
Yeh, but the American Commissioner,
Mr. I!eed, has also been snubbed with
out ceremony. “No barbarian shall set
foot within the limits of Canton,” says
Yeii, “whatever be the consequences.”
We shall see.
The Chinese authorities tallied just as
stoutly in 1840, when by an edict of
iCTijjlc'for, all trade and intercourse
w jth England was at an end forever,
and yet, in two years afterwards, peace
and friendship were gladly purchased at
the tremendous cost of $21,000,000.
Canton was blockaded by a British
fleet of but fifteen sail and a few war
steamers, carrying about 4,000 troops,
in 1840, and yet these braggarts having
an army, including the Tartars, of
1,000,000 of Infantry and 800,000 caval
ry, were disgracefully brought to terms.
They are a cowardly nation, and least
of any other can afford to put on haugh
ty airs and indulge in insolence. IVail
ed cities, however secure, are not im
pregnable.
The Baton Kouge Comet , speaking
of the late fight in the House of Repre
gentatives, says: “There should be a
kind of bull pen (for the convenience
of business, we would suggest an ante
room for it,) to which, when one mem
ber calls another a “liar,” they should
each be conducted, and allowed to prove
which is the liar, by the bone and mus
cle. There could then be standing rules,
limiting fights to fifteen or twenty min
utes, w'hich is long enough to settle an
affair of honor of this kind.”
New Invention.
The editor of the Dalton Times has
been witnessing the operations of a new
ly invented “washing machine.” He
says it is certainly a valuable invention,
and that there is no estimating the
quantity of labor and time that would
be saved by its universal adoption.—
Wm. P. Chester, Esq , of Dalton, has
purchased the right of this machine in
most of the counties in Georgia.
g*T Mrs. Julia Dean Havre, the pop
ular and accomphislied actress, arrived
at New Orleans, from California, on
board the Empire City, Saturday last.
Murder.
The Newnan Blade of the 19th states
that, on Saturday morning last, Mr.
Jenkins, overseer of Mr. Benjamin
Gates, of Meriwether county, was mur
dered by a negro woman while attempt
ing to punish her for some misdemean
or. Having struck her three or four
licks with a switch, she drew a knife
from her pocket, and, having but one
arm, opened it with her teeth, stabbed
him in the neck, severing the jugulgr
veinl causing death in fifteen or twenty
ifiinutes. She is now in Greenville jail
awaiting her trial.
The Two Attractions in Washington.
—lt may appear a little singular, yet it j
is said to be true, that the two greatest
attractions to lady visitors at Washing-!
ton, are President Buchanan, who has j
no wife, and Mr. Mromon Beenhisel, |
who has a dozen.
Tlie Late Dr. Gilman.
The Charleston Courier contains an
eloquent tribute from the versatile

Knoxville, has been appointed mail
agent for East Tennessee, Virginia and

Dr. Mackay’s Lectures.
Charles Mackay, Esq., LLD., the
well known song writer and editor of
the London Illustrated News, has been
cugaged by the Mercantile Library As
sociation of New Orleans to deliver the
lectures that have been so popular in
every city of the country in which he
has appeared. The first of the course

The Colorado Exploring Party.
Washington, Feb. .16.—The War De
partment has received despatches from
Lieutenant Ives, in command of the ex
pedition sent out to explore the Colora
do river, in California. The party ar
rived at the mouth of the river after
a long voyage from San Francisco.
The small steamer built at Philadel
phia, and taken out in detached pieces,
had been put together and launched. The
boat answered admirably the purpose in
tended.
The present charts of'the river had
been found defective, but sufficient
material had been gathered to correct \
them. The Colorado, from its mouth
to Fort Yuma, was found very crooked j
and full of sand bars, shoals and snags, j
but it was thought above the Fort fewer j
obstructions to navigation would be met j
with. i
Judge Warner’s Letter.
Judge Warner has wiitten a long let
ter to his Excellency Gov. Brown, on
the principles of the Kansas bill, as un
derstood and construed by the National
Democracy, and as contended for by the
South. It is too long for publication
in our paper this week. The conclu
ding portion of the letter is as follows :
“ The Slave-holding States in 1850,
■ made concessions in order to obtain the
great principle of non-intervention em
braced in the Kansas Act; they have
1 struggled to maintain it, and have had
recognized, their equal rights in the
common territory of the Union, and
they ought not, and I seriously hope
will not, permit themselves to be
cheated and defrauded out of of any
practical benefits that may result to
them, from the legitimate operation of
that fundamental principle— that great
and vital principle as applicable to the
; common territory, must be maintained
and executed in good faith by those
whose duty it is to execute it, and not
' evaded by any artful or plausible pre
■ text whatever. The position which our
: State has taken upon that question, in a
t certain contingency, is based upon
sound and fundamental principles, as I
have attempted to demonstrate, and I
i do not entertain the least doubt, that iu
r the discharge of your official duty to
the people upon that, as well as all oth
> er questions involving their interests as
! well as their honor, you will be found
f equal to the occasion, whatever it may
_ be."

of conspiring with Echinique and oth
ers to fit out a revolutionary force in
the United States against the existing

he would be shot. His letters had been
seized, and as far as published they show
that he had been in secret correspon

Actors and Actresses.
From the period immediately pre
ceding the Shakesparian epoek, down
to our own time, religious ex-commu
nication and social ban have rested on
the theatrical profession. Occasionally
there have beengreatspirits extant,who
h rve thrown off the general stigma and
risen proudly above it by the force of
individual character; but, as a body,
actors and actresses have been, down to
a very recent period, and are still to
some extent, regarded as social pariaps.
With the increase of intelligence and
j liberality this feeling is fast passing
I away, and actors and actresses are be
! ginning to be judged, like the members
of all other professions, by their public
capacity and private worth.
The profession of the stage is perhaps
the most laborious of all credits, requir
ing almost unceasing mental and physi
cal effort. The duties of an actor com
prise a study of new parts, and recovery
of old ones, occupying, on an average,
from two to four hours a day ; an atten
dance at rehearsal in the morning, occu
pying about two hours a day ; and a
performance each evening, occupying
in winter four, and in summer about
three hours.
The salaries of actors vary considera
bly ; they may, however, be set down
as averaging ; in Franco from 20 to 200
francs a month; in England, from £4 to
£2O a month ; and in the United States
from SSO to $l5O a month. Actors who
have some acknowledged exc Hence, or
peculiar individuality, or are especially
attractive, are oalled stars, and earn
generally from S4ooto $2,500a month.
Actors and actresses, as the records of
the stage attest, are proverbially long
lived, and free from bodily infirmity.—
Performances are seldom changed by
illness of the performers. In many
theatres a season has passed without a
single alteration, even of a part, from
illness. This healthiness is doubtless
owing to their necessarily active life
and regular exercise, not only of the
limbs, but also of the internal organs
of the throat and lungs, thereby forti
fying the weakest portion of the human j
system. When not addicted to intern j
perance, to which the exciting charac- j
ter of the life inclines too many of the I
male portion of the profession, many j
actors have reached the very longest i
period of the duration of human life.—
Os all classes, they are freest from
crime. This is owing mainly to the
constant occupation of mind, time and
body in their pursuit; but it man in
some degree also be attributable to
their softness of feeling, and sympathy
of character. They are charitable, al
most to recklessness.

.European Troubles.
The revolutionary spirit on the con
tinent, is actively at work again; under
ground. The staple of the latest news
from Italy has reference to “insurrec
tiions,” “'incendiaryplacards,” arrests”
and ‘ ‘ expulsions ” for ‘ ‘ political offen
ces,” with an attempt to murder the
King of Naples. The hope is in hot wa
ter again at Rome, in consequence of
some enthusiasts there trying to regal
vanize “the Republic.” The narrow
escape of the French Emperor, the oth
er day, was the narrow escape of France.
The duration of “ Order,” there, many
think, depends entirely upon a pistol
shot, a well directed poinard, or the ex
plosion of an infernal machine. Aus
tria keeps tlie peace only at the point of
the bayonet. Os the Western Powers,
England alone is quiet, -andof all the
crowned heads, that of Queen Victoria
would seem to be about the only one
I that is safe on its proprietors shoulders.

An F.llglntl Divorce Tragedy,
, The following waif is going the rounds j
—how true it is we know not.
Some years since, Lard Talbot was j
granted a divorce by the English House i
1 of Lords ; his wife, a modest and unas- j
sinning woman, having been charged
with an amour with an illiterate groom. J
The principal witness against her was!
the family clergyman, the Rev. Mr.
Seargeant, who swore he caught her in 1
the act of crime. This clergyman has j
just given himself up to the authorities, ! ’
confessing that he had no reason to sus |
pect the state of affairs which he had |
sworn to. He is nowalmostinsane from i
remorse. The prosecution of Lady Tal- r
hot made her a maniac, and she died j
without recovering her reason. Lord
Talbot had married a woman who!
proved herself all be had charged his |
first wife with, and soon deserted him.
He died horribly, in the midst of his j
beastly origies, with a company of de-1
graded woman. Thus vengeance has
overtaken all the parties to this dia- j
bolical conspiracy.

Great Problem
Solved !—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
1 fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
tho suirercr, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, tlie
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufTerer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnatural condition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immedPto benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which atouce calms,
invigorates aud regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
• declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hands of
• medical men.
' Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
[ While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material
, which is to be subjected to their action. As an
; appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long life aud the vigor necessary to its en
i joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to cither
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailiDg
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general do
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediate and permanent roll-, f
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
against that terrible milady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals With disease cs it exists, without rc
lerencc to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution.

gC 1 lair Dye is Vile Wash, c
but the article that will naturally restore the
color of the hair, the changing of which to gray -
being an indication of a lack of proper secretions,
is truly a valuable medicine. Professor Wood’s "I
HAIR TONIC, if the certificates of the leading J
minds over the Union do not falsify, is the only (l
safe remedy for baldness, dryness, premature
change of color,-and the several evidences of a
lack of secretions at the roots of the hair, which
can be found. Quack rreparations abound, and
•hair tonics’ fill every ‘corner grocery’ in the
country. Avoid all ‘hair tonics’ unless known
to be the preparation of some man whose cele
brity has become world-wide. Do not let any
nostrum vender experiment upon your hair.
Touch nothing you have not good reason to be
llcvc is all that it purports to be. Prof. Wood
has earned by years of severe test of the virtues
of his preparation, his present fame. Over 150
certificates are before us of the value of this
hair restorative, from all parties who have tried
it. Use no other.
Caution. —Beware of worthless imitations as
several are already in tire market called by dis
ferent hames. Use none unless the words Prof.
Wood’s Hair Restorative, Depot .St. Louis, Mo.,
auu New York, are blown iu the bottle.
