The Atlantic Monthly.
This magaizine for March has been
lent us by the publishers. It is the
first number we have seen, and from
the hasty examination we have been
able to make, we are favorably im
pressed with its appearance, and con
tents. It is a new work, the first num
ber having been issued last November.
The reputation of this periodical seems
to be well established, judging from
the reviews we have seen of it- l* ll
table of contents of the present number
presents an attractive variety, and as
the articles are by authors of our own
•ountrv, they should be read, in pre
ference to foreign matter. It is pub
lished in Boston, by Phillips, Sampson
* Go , at $3 per annum.

Handsome Sum.
The proceeds of Mr. Everett’s “Wash

What is to Become of Mexico.
The London Times says 1 ‘ there is not
a statesman who would wish to see
Great Britian hamper herself with an
inch of Mexican ground. Let the Uni
ted States, when they are finally pre
pared for it, enjoy all the advantages
and responsibility of ownership, and our
merchants at Liverpool and elsewhere
will be quite content with the trade
that may spring out of it. The capaci
ty of the Mexican population for ap
preciating a constitutional rule is not so
remarkable that we should volunteer to
administer it.”
Sacking np Water from Sand*
Livingstone, the African traveller,
describes an ingenious method by which
the Africans obtain water in the de
sert :
“ The women tie a bunch of grass to
encend ofareed about twofeetlong.aud
insert it in a hole dug as deep as the
arm will reach, then ram down the
wet sand firmly around it. Applying
the month to the free end of the reed,
they form a vacuum in the grass be
neath, in which the water collects, and
in It short time rises to the mouth.’’ It
will be perceived that this simple, but
truly philosophical and effectual meth
od, might have been applied in many
eases, in different countries, where water
was greatly needed, to the saving of
life. It seems wonderful that it should
have been now first made known to the
world, and that it should have been ha
bitually practised in Africa, probably
fnr centuries. It seems worthy of being ,
particularly noticed, that it may no ,
longer be neglected from ignor nee. It .
may be highly important to travellers i
on our Western deserts and prairies, in .
Some parts of which water is known to ,
•list below’the surface.
Assassination
is alleged with a show of probality that ;
the real secret of the attempts upon
the life of Lons Nafolbon, is because
he is a renegade member of the secret
Italian society of the Carbonari. He has
been tried by the chiefs of the society,
formally condemned to death, and it is
said, death surely awaits him.
The Legislature of Kansas has passed
a law imposing the penalty of death on
any one who shall attempt to give ef
fect to the Lecompton Constitution.
If we did not know that the Free
Itate party of Kansas was made up of
individuals, with no principles, and des-
poradoes of every discription, we should
be surprised that a party, who so lately
■sade such an ado about the penalties t
imposed by the Territorial Legislature, '
for the infringment of laws made by a
plain constitutional body, should, at (
the very first opportunity, do the same t
thing, and with Dot half so pi; tsible
*n excuse. It is too late to be surpris
ed at anything which they may do, uu
less they should accidentally stumble
«pon a sensible act, and even then, we
•hould expect some wicked motive urg- (
#d them on. (
A young lady in Danbury, Connecti

Washington, Feb. 27.—Mr. Greely,
editor of the New York Tribune, was ex
amined this morning before the Tariff
investigating Committee, of which ajl
the members were present. His exami
nation was concluded within forty min
utes, when he was informed that the
Committee would not require his furth
er attendance. He expresses his high
1 ippreciation of the candor and courtesy
i of the Committee, and thanks them for
, calling him before them. He says they
asked him no questions which he did
1 not deem pertinent, and which he was
not very glad of an apportunity to an
swer.
The purport of his testimony is un
derstood to be—that no man ever pro
posed to put any money into his hands
to influence in any way the action of
Congress on the Tariff or any other ques
tion. and that no one suggested any
thing of the sort, with his consent or
knowledge. He never knew, nor until
the late expose in Boston, heard or be
lieved that money was paid or promised
by Lawrence, Stone & Co., or by any
one else, whether to members or to
others, to influence the action of the
last Congress on the tariff.
Beautiful close to a 'life.
An old age that is enviable is a rare
thing ; and the following account of the
last years of the life of the famous
scholar Albertus Magnus, (given in Seg
hart's life of him) is very beautiful:—
“ The story is, that when he was past
eighty, he was lecturing as usual, to a
vast audience in the schools at Cologne
His memory suddenly failed him, and
he came to a stand-still—a thing so un
usual with him, as to cause great aston
ishment among his hearers. After a
long and distressing pause, he made the
following extraordinary disclosure:—
That in his youth he had de voted him
self to learning with every faculty of his
mind and soul. What" he could not
master by efforts of intellect, he was in
the habit of extorting by fervent prayer.
That on one of these occasions the bles
sed Virgin had appeared to him, and
had granted his request once for all.—
That he had been endow-ned with amira
culous scientific acquirement from that
time forward. But that, to make the
gift innocuous to his soul, the Virgin
had at the game time promised that be
fore his death all his argumentative
power should be taken from him, that
God might take him to himself in the
simplicity of infancy. ‘ This is now ac
complished : therefore I now know that
my time is come. I make public con
fession before you, dear friends, that I
believe all the articles of the Christian
faitli ; and if I have said or written
anything not comformablc thereto, or
shall hereafter do so, let it be counted
for nought.’ Thus saying, he quitted
the rostrum, amid tiie tears of tile as
semblage, and lived the remainder of
his life with the understanding of a
child of five yeais old, and the harm
lessness of a dove."

Stave Case Decision,
A decision has been rendered in the
First District Court of Cincinnati, in the
case of Mr. Lenox Surget, of Mississippi
vs. steamer T. C. Twichell. This boat
carried, without a regular permit from
the master, a slave employed on the
boat, from which place the slave made
an escape into a free State. The Court
decreed, giving verbal reasons, dam
ages for 51,400, with interest, against
the boat. Another suit is pending in
the same court, against the same steam
boat, brought by 11. M. Kendall, of Ar
kansas, for taking away, without prop
er authority, a slave who was a mechan
ic. Damages are prayed for to a very
large amount.
Untimely Death of Professor Wash

Washington, Feb. 27.—Henry A.
Washington,Esq., well known through
out Virginia and the South, met with an
untimely death this afternoon, by the
accidental discharge of an air gun. He
had for some weeks been an invalid,
and generally amused himself by prac
ticing from a window upon pigeons.
Deceased was a son-in-law of the late
Judge Tucker, was formerly a clerk in
the Treasury Department, and has for
several years past been Professor of His
tory in William and Mary College. He
was a near kinsman of Gen. George
Washing. He leaves a wife and daugh

with his family on Monday for Wil

Kumered Resignation of the Pope.
By the Africa we learn that a rumor
bas been afloat in Paris of an anticipa

of Rome, which will create surprise in
the mind of many people in Europe.—
Some talk of the approaching abdica
tion of the Pope as a certain thing, and
already has Father Ventura been spoken
of as his successor. The nominationof the
latter to a cardinulate in preparation for
this event has frequently been announc

More of the Pacllie Hotel Calamity.
It is hoped and believed that the
number of dead bodies injured in the
ruins of the Pacific Hotel is now defi
nitely known. Laborers were at work
removing the rubbish from an early
hour yesterday morning until about 6
o'clock last evening. During the day
five more bodies were extricated, but so
burned mutilated and mangled, as to
be totally unrecognizable, except one
corpse, which was identified as that of
Bruce McNett, of this city, only by two
peculiar artificial teeth. His remains
have been given over to his friends for
interment.
The condition of those victims whose
recovery is doubtful remains about the
same as at our last account. The ago
ny of their sufferings is intense, and can
only be imagined, but not described, by
persons who have gone through the se
verest bodily affiliction. Messrs. Geary,
Sharpe and Hubbard lying at the Hos
pital, who have not been regarded as in
immediate danger, are getting along
quite comfortably.
The mingled miss of bricks, cinders
and timbers which fell into the cellar
immediately underneath the grocery
store of Ellis & Granville, on the South
east corner of the building, remains to
be removed. It will probably be all
cleared away to-day.
The number of dead is now eighteen,
three from injuries received in jumping
or falling from the building, and the
remainder from burning. •
SickneHS In Houston.
During the last two or three months
a disease has been prevailing in a lo
cality about fifteen or twenty miles be
low this city and near the Ocmulgce ri
ver, which in most cases has proved fa
tal. It is designated by the physicians
as “Erysipelas,” but the symptoms vary
materially with different persons, and.
to a great extent, have baffled the sci
ence of medical practitioners. From
forty-five to fifty have died of the dis
ease within the space of a few miles,
and among them, several of the most
prominent and estimable citizens of the
county. —Macon Messenger.
Tlic Chicken Fights.

on yesterday afternoon. The conditions
of the Maine were we understand that
; there were a thousand dollars bet on
the Main and SIOO on each fight. The
Alabamians whipped 1) of the fifteen
tights, thus wining the Main and sooo.'
For the three days there were crowds of
persons in attendance to witness the
contest. A large number of what are
called 4 4 hack fights ' J came oIT, but ve

chickens whipped, thus showing that!

very much if our Georgia neighbors are
very anxious hereafter to test Alabama j

luck next time. — Selma Sentinel.

I do hereby certify that, after suffering for
' thirty-three years with the most excruciating
pain from Chronic Rheumatism, and finding no
permanent relief from any of the many prescrip
tions given me by dill rent physicians, I am
now entirely well, not only of Rheumatism it
self, but likewise of its effects. This cure was
effected by a preparation styled Lynch’s Anti-
Rheumatic Powders Os those powders I took
two dozen, aud hav not had any symptoms of
my old pains for thr >. » years. The effect upon
me was like magic Within three days after j j
had taken the first powder, my pains disappear
ed, and I Lave beeu entirely clear of them up to
the present time.
To all suffering from Rheumatism I do hearti

to secure a lasting cure.

Great Problem
Solved:—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
| &TAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
! has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
j course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
! fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tie-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
j tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which atoncecalins,
I invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
1 organization.
1 Females who have tried it are unanimous in
| declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
i woman has ever received from the hands of
1 medical men.
| Morse’s Invigorating Elixir bos 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 materia'
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
| man of business, the victim of nervous depres
; sion, the individual suffering from general de
j bility or from the weakness of a single organ
; will all find immediate and permanent relief from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
| those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
j will prove a complete aud unfailing safe-guard
j against that terrible milady. There are many
! perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
j tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
!of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re
lercnce to the causes, and will not only remove
! the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
i stitution
