(Gening 'Uispatcf. GA: IVrdnrMlay Evenlnp, March 3, 1858. 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. - 0" Gov. I’kbev, of Florida, has au thorised Dr. G. Trolte Maxwell, of Tallahassee, to raise a company of mounted volunteers, to bo mustered in to the service of the Uunited States, for another six months' campaign against the Indians. Dr. M. has accepted the •ermmission, and in a tew days will be ready to receive recruits. Handsome Sum. The proceeds of Mr. Everett’s “Wash ington Oration’’ on Tuesday, at the Rich mond Theatre, amounted to thirteen hun +ed dollars. The Managers of the The atreacted most handsomely in not charg ing one cent for the use of the house. 0" The statistics of the New York Post Office confirm the opinion that Talentiues are going out of date.— About fourteen years ago, the number of these missives received there each year, was not short of twenty thousand, this year it scarcely exceeded five thous and. 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 cut, is desirous of getting married. She ' has obtained all the necessary articles —the man, bridal attire, gewgaws, “chicken flxens,” but an alarming ob •tacle has presented itself. There is no •litirch in that place with aisles broad enough to admit her ciinoiine, and so she is obliged to postpone the “happy day," until the completion of a new •anctuary, which is in progress of erec tion. _ i Nkw Yoek, Feb. 27. —A despatch from Hartford, this morning, contra dicts Inst nights’ statement. It states that the only avowed Douglass man ori 1 t lie ticket was defeated. a Congressional. 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." .*. ■Sad Casualty. We regret to learn that the dwelling of Dr. George S. Trezevant in the neigh borhood of Wlnnsboro, was destroyed by fire sometime on Sunday or Saturday night, and that the inmates barely es caped with their lives. We were una ble to gather further particulars.—Caro lina Times. 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 ington. 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 ter, and had made preparations to leave with his family on Monday for Wil liamsburg.* Mr. John W. Farmer has spent $7,000 in his free Eeating Saloon, 47 Ludlow street, New York, which has been open ed six weeks to the poor gratis, and ex pects to spend $5,000 before he closes it. This is a remarkable alfair. Mr. Far mer is not a rich man. •.#.• Funny- to see a milkman looking over the “ prices current," to find out . how chalk is going.

It is thinly popula ted, of cource. —*.«. How could you make a thin ehiid fat ? Well, just pitch him out of the window, and he will come down plump. — A woman in Florida of the name of Cross, lately gave birth to an infant which weighed only one pound. That Cross wasn’t hard to beat. When a wife shows a greater amount of judgment or talent in anything than ■ her husband, it is his wisdom and inte rest to allow her to take the lead. A modern enigma runs thu6:—“ In a land tiowing with milk and honey, why should thero.be thousands starving?” Socrates termed philosophy the pre paration for death ; but should it not father bo styled the patient endurance of life ? Handsome features alone are incapa ble of expressing beauty, as speech alone is incapable of expressing wit. Kumered Resignation of the Pope. By the Africa we learn that a rumor bas been afloat in Paris of an anticipa , ted change in the temporal government 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 ed. Upon an emergency, such a meas ure would be considered indispensable. As general of the powerful order of Ig natius. fctlier Ventura's position would enable him to accept the papal crown without probation.— l’hiladdphia Ledyer. 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. The fifteen fights composing the Main which was fought between the <j}£rgians and the Alabamians in this ci ty commencing on the 22d inst., closed 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 ry generally we lielieve, the Alabama: chickens whipped, thus showing that! science and blood will tell. We doubt j very much if our Georgia neighbors are very anxious hereafter to test Alabama j Science or blood either, in the chicken fighting line. We wish them,however, luck next time. — Selma Sentinel. Fatal Accident. On Saturday evening last a most sin gular and fatal accident occurred at the Eagle Factory Boarding House in this city. A little girl sometwelve years old by the name of Georgiana ltowell, tlm daughter of a poor widow, in a playtul ; mood was running from a sister, when she tripped and fell, and having in her hand an old case knife which had been worn to a point, it entered her neck, severing the jugular vein, causing hei death almost instantaneously.—Colum bus Sun. A Significant Attitude, The members of the Virginia Legisla ture are said to object to the position of the new statue of Washington, as the eyes are turned to the House of Del egates, while the index finger of the right hand points significantly, in the direction of the Penitentiary! The total population of the Russian Empire, according to the last census, amounts to upwards of sixty-nine mil lions of souls—fifty-five millions in Rus sia (properly so called,) five in Poland, two in England, three in the Caucasus, four in Liberia, and 800,000 in Russian America. Time men Burned to Death. An appalling calamity occurred at the corner of Broadway and Bleecker street this morning. A fire broke out in the 44 City Market " buildings, and three men were burned to death. — New York Post, 21th. American Tract Society's Receipts. The Southern states have contribuied to the American Tract Society during the past year $27,000 ; the Middle 1 states, $78,000; the Western states, $21,000 ; and the Eastern, $25,000. The contributions from the city of New York alone amounted to more than ■ $34,000, of which 10.000, nearly one - third, carne from the Protestant Episco pal Church. \ Washington, Feb. 27. —A gentleman of position among the Free State Demo mats of Kansas, and who is now in this city on matters connected with the po , litical fortunes of that Territory, states positively that Gov.

Oh, the amount ol'suffering that has beenendur j ed, aud the thousands of deaths that have I' occurred for the want of a proper and ; timely remedy for this dreadful dis ease which is invariably found in LYNCH’S ANTI-RHEUMATIC POWDERS, j riIHE only sure and radical cure yet j X discovered. See circular uud the following CERTIFICATES: 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 ly recommend these powders, confidently be lieving that you have only to give them a trial to secure a lasting cure. Most respectfully, John Ij>ch. i Eatonton, April 22, 1855. 1 have no hesitation in saying, that after hav ing suffered for upwards of thirty years with ! Rheumatism in the most dreadful form-first in :ny toes, then my thumbs, wrists aud knees, and j lastly, most excruciatingly in my neck, 1 took j two or three dozen ol Lynch’s Anti Rheumatic i Powders, and notwithstanding lam old and my j constitution much shattered,! have received the! greatest benefit imaginable; my relief from [ suffering and pain, I cannot attribute to anything i hut the powders, lor I have tried everything | iu vain, that friends could suggest or physicians prescribe.

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 i LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush ; of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self* de* ! s'ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys j pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ! ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the 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 | ly infallible.
