Staling .ilispatci). AUGUSTA. G A: Saturday Evening, March O, 1838. tutorial Change. Our friend, and late Associate, T. A. Burke, Esq., has become connected with the Savannah Morning News. Mr. Burke it a man of considerable newpaper expe rience, and excellent qualifications for the duties of journalism. He lias our bast wishes in his new position. Gayoso Festival. We acknowledge the receipt, through B. 8. Bill, Esq., of the Committee, an in ritation to the Inauguration supper, on the occasion of the opening of the flavoso House, Memphis, Tenn., on Tuesday evening March 11th. We wish we were there “right now.” From what we saw of this Hotel, when in Memphis, and from what the press say of it we conclude that our Memphis neighbors may well pride themselves on the Gayoso House, which, greatly enlarged has lately been opened by Mr. Cockrell. The Gayoso may »fely claim to be the finest hotel West of the mountains ; and it would lose noth ing by a comparison with any house in the country. The furniture is, in every respect, equal to that of the St. Nicho las Hotel, of New York. The house •an accommodate from four to five hun dred persons. Operatic, The Havana Opera Troupe announce to night as their last appearance in Charleston. While it is true that the patronage extended our Theatre this season establishes very little claim for such entertainments, we cannot forbear expressing a desire that Mr. Marciiant give his Augusta friends an opportuni ty to gratify taste in a different line from the drama with which he has fa voted us. State Items. In the row in Ringgold to which wc j, alluded on yesterday, the Express of that | place Revs: “Several persons wore in jured, tome seriously. Among the lat ter are Tiios. B. Woottkh, (shot through the thigh,) Joseph Wootten, (shot in 1 ' the hip,) W. J. Whitsitt, (hit on the j -head with a rock or slug-shot,) and W. j A. CAMr, (badly beaten.") Judge Jas. Hoge, of Lafayette, has received the appointment of the Agency of the Depot at Atlanta. The Ringgold Express is the name of a new paper just established in that thriving town by D. C. Sutton. It is a neat paper and wc wish it success. It will contain the sheriff’s sales of Wal ker, Dade and Catoosa counties. The Weekly Gazelle is the name of a paper just started in Greensborough, Go., by W. Iff. Jefferson. It is an in- j teresting sheet and ought to be patron- j Ised. Early last week, the office of Messrs. Patten, Coluns & Co., of Macon, was entered and their safe robbed of about SIBO. A Jcu d'csprlt. Some of the Charleston papers are j indulging in hard words about a dispute j whicli arose in reference to the citadel ; emeute. It seems that the Standard] mace some hits at the researches of the ! Cbu -ter in reference to mermaids, years j age, to which the Courier replies by ad mitting that it may have been unsuc ces: ful in the article of mermaids, but has been more lucky in hooking sprats. [Mr Spatt is the editor of the Standard. 1 Railroad Accident. The Courier says that Daniel Duff, a Scotchman, was run over by the night express train on Wednesday I night, three miles from Branchvilie, * breaking a leg and arm. There had J been a collision between some freight • trains, and he had been left to keep up 1 signal fires, that the trains might avoid the shattered cars on the track ; but he had fallen asleep on the track. CHaileg Mackay, This distinguishing poet-editor deliv- 1 •rod his first lecture in Charleston last night. The Courier in a lengthy notice says “the lecture was devoted generally to ‘Songs and Song Writers,’ and was a literary repast of rare composition and qualities.’’ There are troupes of those who have read his charming songs and lyr es, in our city, who would be pleas ed to hear his lectures repeated in Au gus, . fr The Southern Enterprise, an Ameri can paper, which was supplanted by the Hire Grass Reporter, is to be resuscitated on the 18th inst. •*•— .

A writer in a late number of the Con v slitutianalist deprecates the fact that by our last census the number of pupils in our colleges were only 480, while there were 65,572 white male inhabitants betweon the ages of ten and twenty. The writer proposes that each coun t ly in the State pay the expenses of ' six boys at some of the colleges; K in return for which, each be re quired to teach a given number of years. This will secure the education ' of a fair proportion from the former classes—and the writer urges the neces sity of “making the State University in deed , what it is in name," in order to afford fa cilities for those who wish a University , education. , It is certainly desirable to improve , our school system ; but it seems to us i i that the State has already exercised a wide liberality toward the colleges in her borders, and if we had more acade , mies, and less “universities” and “col . leges,” male, female and medical, the , rising generation would have much bet ter advantages, and the number of chil- I dren growing up in ignorance be di minished much more rapidly. .«. From California. The news from California by the 1 steamer Philadelphia, to New Orleans, is unimportant. It contains the usual chapter of accidents, violence and mur ‘ der, with here and there the shade re lieved by evidences of {general prosper ity and a prospect of social improve ment. . The mining districts, prove rich in , gold, the only drawback being the want , of water to wash the gold from the dirt , The quartz business seems especially ac . tiveyand new mills are going up, and . others projected, all over the country. , From most of the diggings the report j is quite as favorable. . In Mariposa, snow to the depth of J four inches fell the Ist February, and on j the adjacent mountains it had aecumu-j lated to the depth of two feet. ; In Sacramento, says the Christian Ad- vojate, a revival of religion lias been in; progress sometime. — Very True. Non-paying patrons of newspapers, j are thus spoken of by an exchange.— 'Every won! of it is true. Wc have j felt the effects of “call again,” “Can’t I do anything for you this morning,” &c. Well we live in hopes of a better time coming. Tiie exchange says : “Waggonscannot run without wheels -boats without steam! bull frogs without legs, or newspapers be carried on ever lastingly without money; no more than a dog can wag his tail when he has none. Our subscribers are all good, but what I good does a mail’s goodness do when it j don’t do any good ? We have no doubt I that every one thinks that all have paid except him, and as we are a clever fel low, and his is a little matter, it will make no difference.” , For the Cure of Whooping Cough A correspondent of the New York Evening Post furnishes the following re ceipt for the* cure of the whooping cough : ! The best kind of coffee prepared as I for the table, and give a common drink jto the child as warm as can be drank ; 1 and a piece of alum for the patient to ; lie as soon as it may wish. Most chil jdren are fond of alum, and will get all they need without being urged ; but if ; they dislike it, they must be made to j taste of it eight or ten times in the I course of a day. It will effectually break up the worst case of whooping cough in a very short time. To adiiltt land children in the habit of taking coffee, the remedy is good foi nothing. «. . ..

Harrison, who is to command flie Leviathan, writes to Boston that In is in hopes to be in Borland with his vessel in the latter part of the month of June, and that he proposes to remain there with her seven weeks. - “ I hope you will be able to support me,” said a lady while walking out with her intended, during the slip pery state of the sidewalks “ vV’hy, yes,” said the somewhat hesitating swain, “with some little assistance from your father.” A Scottish parson was betrayed into more puns than he meant to make yhen he prayed for the council and par liament, that they might hang togelh rin these trying times.

She never dressed f younger, never was more gay and ani | mated. She soon came to attract atten ■ tion, and before long there was quite a . strife for the notice of the live young f widow, as she was called. Among these was Ned Tarbox, as we 1 have hitherto called him ; or, to speak r more respectfully, Mr. Edward Tarbox. Hewas well made and looking, and these , go farther with a woman on the shady 1 side of thirty, than when younger. After some skirmishing and show of . coquetry, she acknowledged to Ned that she felt an interest in him. “But,” she continued, “ there is a bar between 5 US.” 5 “There is nothing that my love can not surmount.” said the young man, 1 gallantly, pressing the widow’s unre i luctant hand to his lips. “ I am older than you.” “ A mere trifle; I am twenty-three.” “ And I,” said the widow, with : charming candor, "I am twenty seven.” “ Twenty seven ! And shall a differ ence of four years seperate us ? Never!” “ But that is not all.” ' “ What is there more, charming widow?” “ I—l have a child.” Ned's fancy at once conjured up a child of three or four years of age. “Sufferme,” he said, with enthusi , asm, to become its second father. It is I a second father. Is it a girl or boy ? “ How old?” inquired Ned. This was an embarrassing question, ■ but Mrs. Granger was prepared for it.— - She had a miniature of Mary, taken at the age of three years. This she dis played. “You must judge from this,” she i said. “Itis a pretty face,” said Ned. “It is very much like yours.” Mrs. Granger tapped Edward with a fan and called him a sad flatterer.— I Thereupon he kissed the miniature, and embolded to a still more venturesome ' act, next proceeded to kiss the widow. ; She resisted so effectually that he did not suceed in kissing her more than half ! a dozen times. | The same day Ned sat down and indi ! ted the following epistle to his father : j “ Mr. Godfrey Tardox : Bear Sir, I address you thus formally in accordance ! with our compact, the terms of which you undoubtedly remember.—As you j will, I presume, be interested to hear of ■ my welfare and success, I am happy to ) be able to inform you that I am on the j eve of marriage with a wealthy young | widow whom I first met here.—You 1 'will do my taste justice to believe that she is handsome and accomplished. She has been quite the belle here, and I consider it no slight triumph that 1 have been able to carry her away from so many competitors. Bhe is, to be : sure, four years older than myself, and is the mother of a little girl of three years old she is her very image. There is no obstacles to love like mine. In -1 deed, I rather fancy the idea of becom " ing a step-father. 1 The marriage will take place a fort ■ night to-day. A month hence I shall * be at the Astor House, and should your 1 arrangements permit, shall be glad to 1 meet you there.” * “ Ned, you sly dog, so you have been ‘ captivated by a widow of twenty-seven, * have you ? Fie upon you ! Have you no more knowledge of the world ! Catch me sacrificing myself that way ! | With a daughter, too! Absolutely I 1 shall be a step-grand-father. But if ■ you teach her to call me so, I will cut , you off with a shilling. But Ned I have not been idle. I have ingratiated my self with a young girl of nineteen— - none of your widows for me, and she i has consentad to be mine in a fornight. ; Queer coincidence, isn't it that we > should be married at nearly the same time, without any communication with I each other > She is handsome, and ’ what is quite as much to the purpose, * rich. I accept your appointment, and will meet you a month hence at the As tor. An revoir.” We will suppose the weddings to be ; over. I have always found that wed dings are excessively stupid in the de scription, howe ;er interesting they may be to the parties. Ned Tarbox and his new wife, whilom the widow Granger, were the first to j reach the hotel. Installing themselves 1 in a comfortable room, Ned privately , j left word to have his father ushered up . ! staii s as soon as he should arrive. | The door was at length opened, and ' Mr. Tarbox, senior, entered. “ Ned,” said he, “this is my wife,!' and your stepmother.-'’ “And this,” said Ned, presenting | the late widow, “is my wifb, and your , daughter-in-law.” “Good heavens!” exclaimed Mrs. . Tarbox junior, “ can I bolieve my eyes ? ■ My mother !” "What!” was the simultaneous ex- ] elamation of both Tarboxes. “ Mary,” said her mother, in aston ishment, “is it possible that you are 1 the wife of my father-in-law ?" “So it seems, mother, and of course! if follows that I am the mother-in-law of my own mother.” “And I,” said Mr. Tarhox senior, “am the son-in-law of my own son.— Ned please except my filial homage.” “ But,” said the young man, puzzled, and turning to his mother-in-law, “may 1 enqniie how old you are “ Nineteen,” said Mary roguishly. “And your mother is twenty-seven— only eight years older. Most remarka- I hie!” “ Edward,” said the whilom widow, * “ I told you I was twenty seven. So 1 i am, and was ten years ago. Can you i forgive me?" Who call resist a widow, more especi ally if she is handsome? Ned could t not. So ho freely forgave liis wife, who l was at the same time his grandmother - in-law, and never regretted his mar riage. As there was issue by both mar , liases, I letve it to a discriminating i public to decide what degree of relation ship exhisted between them, and wheth er Ned's children, as bis father declares, , ale really sisters of their own grandmother. —Tree Flag. —■« A bachelor advertised for a “help mate, one who would prove a compan ion for his heart, his hand, and his . lot.” » A fair one, replying asked, very earnestly, “How big is your lot?” __ “ When thou art buying a horse or choosing a wife," says the Tuscan pro verb, “ shut thine eyes, and command thyself to God.” Is that what is eall- I, i! trusting to 1 -.'ovtduEcj ?

MOUSE’S INVIGORATING COR j hTAL.—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 j the sufferer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength ami health. ; The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the | acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux ior ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- I rors, wakened by periodical fit's, threatened with i paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that terrible lassitude whicli proceeds from a lack of j nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain ! or disability arising from the unnatural condition j of the wonderful machinery which connects ev- J ery member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives immediate benefit j from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, j invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous \ organization. , Females who have tried it are unanimous in 1 declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that j woman has ever received from the hands of I medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im j mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite, j While it renews the strength of the digestive ; powers it creates a desire for tho solid materia' | which is to he subjected to their action. As an j appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. | If long life and the vigor necessary to its en jjoyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of 1 precious worth 1 Its b *neflcial 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 suff ring from general de hility or from the weakness of a single organ i will all find immediate and permanent relief from j the u-c of this incomparable renovator. To j those who have a predisposition to paralysis it j will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard | against that terrible malady. . There are many j perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion that they think themselves beyond the reach jof medicine. Let not even those despair. The !

REASONS why the Grover & Baker Machine is universally preferred for family sew’ing: i. ii is more simple and easier kept iu order ’ than any other Machine. 2d. It makes a seatn which will not rip or ravel, though every third stitcl. is cut. i d. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus ill trouble of winding thread is avoided, \vhil< he same machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a mere change of spool , to all varieties of work. 4th. The same machine runs silk, linen thread, and common spool cotton with equal facility. sth. The seam is as elastic as the most elastic fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break, in washing, ironing, or otherwise. 6th.
