At an election held at the Bank Fri
day for a President and four Directors,
the following gentlemen were elected :
John Richardson, President.
DIRECTORS.
John E. Ward, J. S. Claghorn,
Richard Bradly, Dr. E.H. Martin.
The Sumpter Republican says “a collis
ion occurred in our city on Tuesday last,
between Maj. Ellis and his son, Jas. El
lis, on the one 6ide, and Jas. T. Hole
man on the other, in which all the par- j
ties were seriously injured.’ The par
ties are all intemperate.
A tire broke out in house of Mr. John
Robson, m Madison, Ga., on last
Thursday night, hut was extinguished
before doing much damage.
A man named Evans, of De Kalb
county, shot himself last Saturday by
the accidental discharge of a pistol,
which he was handling while intoxica
ted. He died on Monday.
A fugitive from justice, for whom a
reward of one hundred dollars had been
offered by citizens of Dalton, Ga., was
arrested in Atlanta on Saturday last by
officer Williford.
At the late election in Cotoosa
county for Ordinary, M. Dickson receiv
ed 313 votes, and A. T. Hackeit re
ceived 287.
Several counterfeit hills on the
Georgia Railroad and Banking Company
of the denomination of SSO, says the
Sparta Georgian, have been passed in
this community recently. They are
the poorest attempts in that line we
have ever seen, and evidently are the
productions of a Tyro. They were
originally one dollar hills and have
been transmitted into fifties.
Mr. C. W. Howard, of Kingston,
offers unslacked lime at 12 1-2 cents per
bushel, and to receive Wheat, Com and
Bacon in exchange.
fgf* The wife of Mr. Borren, residing
on the corner of Beale and, Hernando
streets, Memphis, jumped into a well
on the premises, Monday morning and
w r as drowned.
(*•' A fire occurred in Newbern N. C.
on the 23d. ult., in which two children ,
of Thomas J. Marshall perished in the
flames, and a third, and only remaing
child has since died from the effects of
the fire.
Philip S. White.
This well known champion of the
temperance cause, who has lately been
the object of irritating attacks from va
rious quarters, writes to the Hon. John
Bolton O’Neall, of South Carolina, that
he has again joined the order of the
Sons of Temperance. He emphatically
denies the imputation of having fallen ■
into the abyss of drunkenness.
Killing Romance With Fat.
The latest Parisian story is of an old
aristocrat, who, daring not to oppose his
son’6 affection for a girl below his rank
in life, persuaded him to go to sea for a
year with the promise of his consent
after that probation. The story pro
ceeds :
The cunning old gentleman—a Tab '
leyrand on a small scale—masked under
his condescension a Jjackiavelian plot.
He had remarked in the fair damsel a
certain disposition to enibonptiinl. He
employed the year he had before him
in developing this tendency. His ac
cumplieas in this plan were all the fari
naceous substances known from the po
tato to the racabout of the Arabs. He
strictly forbid exercise to his victim. At
the end of six months the girl had gain
ed eighteen pounds in weight ; at the
end of the year she was monstrous. It
was Alboni without the voice—the ele
phant without the nightengale it had
swallowed. At the end of tiie year the
young officer appeared, radiant with
anticipation. “ Embrace your aftianc
ed,” said his father, ironically, as he
led to his arms the mountain of human
ity which he himself had so perfidiously
elevated. The young officer frightened,
notwithstanding his bravery, turned
about and ran, and he is running
yet.

A Cool Apology.
They had a ball down at Waverly,the
other night, which brought out some
remarkable experience. Among other
events, the following instance of a coo!
apology took place :
Bill P. is known all over, and Bill was
at this ball in all his glory. All of his
necessaries for pleasure on hand—good
music, pretty girls and excellent whis-j
key. The evening passed off rapidly,
as it always does, and Bill had |at about
one o’clock become pretty happy. Step
ping up to a young lady, lie requested
the pleasure of dancing with her. She
replied she was engaged.
“ Well,” said Bill are you engaged
for the next set?”
She said she was.
“ Can I dance with you the next
then ?”
“ I am engaged for that also.”
“ Can Idance with you to-night ?”
*• No, sir,” with some hesitancy.
“Go to Boston,” said Bill, highly in
dignant, and turned on his heel.
After a few moments, Bill is accosted
by the brother of the young lady, and
charged with insulting his sister. Bill
denies but professes himself willing to
apologise, if he has has done wrong, and
accordly steps up to the lady, when the
following conversation ensued:
“ MissL., I understand I have insult
ed you 1"
“ You have, sir!”
“ What did I say, L ?”
“ You told me to go to Boston.”
“ Well,” said Bill, “ I have come to'
ie 11 you that you needn't go !" -
•Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.
Stone Mountain, Ga., March 6.
After forwarding my hasty note from
Newnan, I had the pleasure of rambling
through College Temple, from the busy
interior of which flic Fly Leaf is waft
ed as a messenger to loved ones at
home ; an earnest of what is developing
for the future, and as a present contri
bution to the brighter pleasures of hu
man enjoyment.
I have just here hesitated a moment
to conjure up terms in which to ex
press my admiration of this Institution.
Having seen so much of the austere,
iron-bound systems on the one hand,
and the mere superficial glass so sash-,
ionable on the other, I am sure I will be
pnrdoned for an enthusiastic admiration 1
[ of a school which combines thorough- j
ness with a recognition of the volubility
of childhood.
Mr, Kelloo is a gentlemrn of fine ed
ucational endowments, but so well pois
ed with the geniality of manhood that
we are lost in admiration of the one,,
and in love with the other.
Os tho ladies who are his assistants
we do not dare to speak, as we desire,
lest we tear them from the galaxy of
budding womanhood which seems to
1 nestle around them, to gather the ele
-1 ments of usefulness.
! The whole country should, and will
yet realize the reason why we feel proud
of College Temple.
1 On Friday last I had the pleasure of
being present at a Concert given to the
subscribers of the Fly Leaf. Singing,
conversation, and tableau s, interapiced by
the reading of the SjryLeaf, a burlesque
on the Fly Leaf, perpetrated by the ju
nior cUss “for their own amusement
and the Instruction of the seniors.' ’
All the exercises were of a pleasing
character, and the aspect of innocence '
which seemed to prevail, would argue
the usefulness of their frequent repeti
tion. i
I left Newnan on Friday and arrived i
here this morning, after spending a day ;
in Atlanta. j 1
I have visited the top of the moun- <
tain, scribbled some lines about‘'indura- j
ted rocks,” crouching cedars and tower- j j
ing brows, which, I think, will leave as ;
good an impression, thus alluded to, as r
if 6prearl out in rytbmetic proportions I
before your renders. Expecting soon j *
to return, I remain yours, S. c
(Jr?" Our citizens were shocked, on
Saturday last, says the Clarkesville
(Tenn.) Jeffersonian, by the announce
ment that Mr. JosEru H. Hakeis, of the
neighboring town of New Providence,
had been murdered early in the preceed
ing night by one of his slaves.
West Point, Georgia.
It is a prevailing habit of newspapers
to say too little of the resources and
progress of their own immediate locali
ty. Thus the public are deprived of in
teresting information, and the press
fails to fill a very important sphere of
local usefulness.
The American, at the flourishing town
of West Point, li is presented the fob i
lowing outline of the extent of business j
there during the last year, which we
are quite sure will interest a large pbr
tion of our readers :
For the benefit of those who may not
even know the location |of our city, we
will state that it is situated principally
on the Western bank of the beautiful
Chattahoochee, just above where the
land line between the States of Ala
bama and Georgia begins; being in j
Georgia, Troup county.
Here we have the terminus of the
Atlanta and West Point llailroad, also
the Montgomery and West Point Rail
road. So it will he perceived that all
goods transported beyond this point, ;
either East or West have to be re-ship- 1
ped here.
In making an investigation of the!
amount of Groceries and articles in that,
fine of business sold here, we found to j
our surprise that nearly a half million !
of dollars worth had been disposed of
during the year 1857. The sales of dry
goods amounted to one hundred and
ten thousand dollars for the same year.
Now when we take into consideration
that between fifteen and sixteen thou- '
sand bales of cottou are sold here at an
average, say of fifty dollars per bale,
making the sum of seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars : to this sum add
the sales of groceries and dry-goods,and j
you have footed up the snug little sum i
of one milllion two hundred and ninety |
thousand dollars. This trade is done in j
a place too, whose inhabitants will not. j
exceed five or six hundred at most.

youth, is almost frantic with grief at
the occurrence.

Burning of tile Eliza Battle,
The Mobile Mercury contains an ac
count of the burning of the steamer
Eliza Battle, above Kemp’s landing, at
2 o'clock last Monday morning. The
tire was discovered in the nursery boat,
and is supposed to have originated from
sparks from ttie Warrior, which had
passed a half hour before. The pilot j
succeeded in running the boat into the i
woods, when the passengers took to the
water, where they remained five hours
when the Magnolia came to rescue
them. It will be remembered that the
night was very cold, the river was swol
len by the late rain, and the sufferers
i were obliged to wander about in the
I woods until morning. Their sufferings
j during the night can hardly be imagin
! ed. Some were floating on cotton bales
and drift-wood, some clinging to branch
es of trees, and laying on logs half im
mersed in water until death came to
their relief. Children froze in their
mother’6 bosoms, and wives perished in
the arms of their husbands; while oth
ers were so chilled by exposure as to
linger in agony or die under efforts to
restore them.
It is one of the most heart-rending
disasters that has ever occurred in the
history of our river navigation.
About forty perished, principally
from cold, and we subjoin the names of
the lost, as far as reported by the Mer
cury:
Mrs. B. Cromwell and child ; Mrs. H.
G. Turner and child ; W. R. T. Smith ;
Mr. Caradine ; Mr. Willis: Augustus I
Jones, Columbus, Miss. ; Mr. Martin, j
Kentucky; John Powell, barkeeper;
Dr. S. W. Clanton; young man from!
Fairfield, not known ; fourteen colored |
men and women belonging to the boat, j
and three white-deck hands; Rev. Mr. j
Newnan, Louisville, Ky., frozen; M.
A. Galloway, Gainesville, Ala., never!
seen ; P. Kirkland, died after getting
toGrcene county, Ala.; Dr. S. H. Jones,
never seen, Greene county, Ala.
The following names constituting we j
conclude, all the survivors, appear in a
card exonerating the officers of the boat,'
and testifying to their assiduous atten-,
tion to their duties and to the suffer-j
ers :

j "sis T he Great P r oblem
, | Solved !—PR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
- f*TAL. The dyspeptic patient, who-e stomach
' has lost the power of duly converting food into a
i life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastrie
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
. nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
’ while his digestive organization was
i paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
. wholesome revolution created in the system, the
P basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
, I rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
' | paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
: ! terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
: i nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
. or disability arising from the u nnaturalcondition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immedhtc benefit
, from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organ iza tion.
Females who have tried it are unanimous m
declaring the Elixir to he the greatest boon that ,
woman has ever received from the havds of i
j medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct. 1m- <
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid materia j *
which is to he subjected to their action. As an ,
appetiser it has no equal in the Pliarmacopia.
Iflong life and the vigor necessary to its en- (
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of (
precious worth i
Its beneficial effects are not enfined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the a.l’.ng
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, ttt victim of nervous depres- '
sion, the individual suffering from general de .
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 hatfe a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
against that terrible m ilady. There are many j
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 as it exists, without re- (
erencc to the causes, and will not only remove ,
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- .
stitution , I

but the article that will naturally restore the
color of the hair, the changing of which to gray
being an indication of alack of proper secretions,
is truly a valuable medicine. Professor Wood’s
HAIR TONIC, if the certificates of the leading
minds over the Union do not falsify, is the only
! safe remedy for baldness, dryness, premature

I lack of secretions at the roots of the hair, which
can be found. Quack preparations abound, and

brity has become world-wide. Do not let any
nostrum vender experiment upon your hair.
