Aliening iUspattb. AUGUSTA. GA: 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 and elegant pen of the accomplished Yeadon to the late llev. Dr. Gilman, a distinguished Unitarian preacher of Charleston. 3lail Agent. Mr George W. Harris, Postmaster of Knoxville, has been appointed mail agent for East Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky. Mr. Harbis is the author of the widely known Sut Locenyood Stories —among the finest specimens of American humor on record. 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 will bedeliveredon “Foetry and Song,’’ at the Varieties (late Gaiety) theatre, this evening, the 19th inst. 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." .From the Baltimore Clipper. t THIRTY-FIFTH CONGItESB. ITKBT SESSION. Washington, Feb. 10,1858. senate. Mr. Houston offered a resolution in structing the Committee on Foreign ltelations to inquire into the expedi , oney of the Government establishing a protectorate over Central America.— Laid over. i Mr. Hale offered a resolution instruct . ing the Post Office Committee to in quire whether the transmission of the mails between Washington and Boston cannot be expedited so as to prevent twelve hours detention in New York, as at present. Adopted. Mr. Thompson reported a bill to es tablish a port of entry on Tom s River, New Jersey. Mr. Chandler reported bills making appropriations for deepening the chan nels of St. Mary’s river and St. Clair’s flats, Michigan. Mr. Mason called up the joint resolu tion for the reception of the Turkish Vice-Admiral. Mr. Clay objected, saying no bene fit could result from such an expendi ture. Mr. Mason, in his reply, instanced the case of the restoration of the ship Resolute to England, as having the ef fect to strengthen our international re lations. Mr. Clay said Congress heretofore paid ; the expenses of a Turkish impostor. Amin Bey, and for the wines and ci gars of Kossuth and his suite. They should be warned by past experience. Mr. Seward denied that Amin Bey was an impostor. Acts of kindness and courtesy, although not compensa ted by money, never go unrewarded. Mr. Pugh said we do not allow our of ficials to take bribes abroad, and why should we offer them to others. He was opposed to the resolution. Mr. Trumbull concurred with Pugh; and Messrs. Stuart and Collamer advo cated the resolution. Mr. Biggs offered an amendment, which was rejected, limiting the amount 1 to be expended to $5,000. The resolution was subsequently pass ed. The Senate resumed the consideration of the Indiana contested election case. An amendment was offered, to decide the question immediately. The resolu ■ tion to take testimony in Indianapo • i lis, was passed. And the Senate ad journed. HOUSE. Mr. Letcher, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported the deficien cy appropriation bill. Mr. Boyce called up the Maryland contested election case of Mr. Brooks, | who contests the seat of Mr. Davis on J the ground that the election was carried by fraud and violence. Mr. Boyce argued against the prayer I of Mr. Brooks, who asked exemption from the operation of the law of 1851, | and that the Committee on Election! | proceed to take testimony. Mr. Phillips, of the Committee ol 0 Elections, spoke in favor of the Com e niittee examining witnesses. Other I gentleman delivered speeches. The sub ject was before the House when this re -1 port was closed, f -•» Com. Vanderbilt a Flllihuster. The news from the South Pacific is important. Captain Lomer—cornmis , sioned by ex-President Echinique in the ‘ navy—has been unvested and thrown * into prison at Valparaiso, on a charge of conspiring with Echinique and oth ers to fit out a revolutionary force in the United States against the existing Government of Peru. It was thought he would be shot. His letters had been seized, and as far as published they show that he had been in secret correspon dence with Commodore Vanderbilt, of New York, and a gentleman named Fitzgerald, in New Orleans, for the pur- j pose of purchasing from the former a \ steamship, and from the latter a large | quantity of muskets and other war mu-! nitions. The Government officers of j Peru assert that they have copies of the 1 original contracts between the parties, i The revolution in Peru is at a stand . still.— Washington Slates. ' Who Carries on the Slave Trade J i It is said that the slave trade to the i i. Island of Cuba is principally carried on | ’ j by Northern men, in Northern vessels, { I with Northern crews. Two ' cargoes ; | have been landed in Cuba within the I j present month, and almost under the! - very nose of Commodore Paulding, and j 1 1 nearly within range of his guns, an 11 - j weie carried therein vessels fitted out -1 in tlie United States, and owned by cit -1 izeds of the State in which the doughty r I Commodore resides. But this redoubt able military gentleman did not feel - called upon to interfere with the inter , ests qf his friends and and ; suffered them to pass unmolested. We ! ■ suppose be is reposing on the laurels j | won in the brilliant achievement of I I j capturing Walker and his men. Verily j ! the “old hero” “bears his blushing hon . | ore thick upon him,” and should be| 1 suffered to retire from the service, with I a pension settled upon him for life - j ; over the left. He has done all the ; good, and evil too, of which he is capa ble, and it is unreasonable for his coim-. i try to exact more of him. THE LATEST NEWS.!

Liverpool Colton Market. —The sales of cotton for three days reached 18,000 hales, of which speculators took 3,000 and exporters 1,000 bales. [The dis patches are indefinite as to the condition of the of the close markets. The’iufer . ence of the Reporter is, that some cir , culars report a quiet market —others a i firm market, and others that the market closed with an advancing tendency.— [ The reader must determine for him • self what the condition of the market wai at the close, from this statement.] No change in prices is reported.

J Unfavorable news was current about t the condition of affairs in the Punjaub. 1 John M. Botts has returned to this J country on board the Baltic. Mahomed Pasha, the Vice-Admiral of the Turkish Navy, did not come in the Baltic, as was expected. This gentle man, we believe,has contemplated a vis it to the United States to examine min utely the construction of our vessels of war,for the purpose of making improve ments in the Naval architecture of Tur key. The Brazil Mail Steamship, with Rio •Janiero advices, had arrived at London. She reported the Coffee market dull and prices nominal, with large stocks. Congressional. Washington, Feb. 18.— In the Senate to-day, the Hon. James S. Green, of Missouri, from the committee on Ter ritories, presented a hill and report in favor of the admission of Kansas into 1 1 the Union as a State, with one repre sentative, until that State is known to Ibe entitled to more from the regular ' 1 census returns of its population.

Douglas, of Illinois, Chairman; George W. Jones of lowa ; Wm. K. Sebastian of Arkansas; Benja min Fitzpatrick, of Alabama ; James S. Green of Missouri; Jacob Collamer, of Vermont; and Benj. F. Wade, of Ohio.] The discussion of the army bill was continued in the Senate. In the House, in the committee of the whole, the Hon. Eli S. Shorter, of Ala bama, delivered a speech on Kansas af fairs. Other members also spoke on the same or kindred subjects. The business before the House was j otherwise uninteresting. i Col. Calhoun I .' Letter aliout Kansas.

Middling Fair 11 7-8 to 12 cents. 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. — N. Y. Express. 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. Sr. Louis, Feb. 15.—Recent develop- ■ ments show that George Swiser, the j late Collector of St. Louis county, \ a defaulter to the amount of one hun- j dred thousand dollars | The Bangor papers say that the ska ting in that quarter was nearly destvoy i ed by the hail and sleet with whjph . they were visited last week. The fire men of Bangor, however, have gallant ! ly volunteered to turn out with their ; engines and wet down a sufficient sur face on the river to afford a skating privilege for the ladies of the city of whom there are about fifty well skill • ed in this healthful amusement. The Autjusta Dispatch comes to us en ' larged a column on each page. We are ) pleased to note this fact, as it evinces a s well-merited prosperity. We consider the Dispatch among our most valuable ex ‘ changes, and do not hesitate to speak a t word in its favor. —Southern Inventor.

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. LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to tho head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofself-de s ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia. general prostration, irritability, nenous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of tho propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency. constipation, etc., from whatever cau e arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute- I ly infallible. • CAUTION.—Pr.
