Couldn't See the Petticoals.
N. P. Willis, in his ldlewild letter
to the last Home Journal, says during a
lata three day’s visit to New York, he
dm-i get sight of a single red petti
coat. The reason he assigns was that
the weather was so cold that the hand
which should have lifted the disclosing
skirt was buried in a muff.
destructive fire occurred in
Pittsburg on the morning of the 18th
inst., destroying four of the extensive
cannon foundries of Messrs. Ksarp &
Wade.
flf Mr. Maxwell, residing near
Bradstown, Ky.,'was found dead on the

Attempted BoiiUeiy at Willards
Hotel,
The Washington Union gives the fol
lowing particulars of the attempted
robbery in the room of the Turkish of
ficers, at Willard’s Hotel in Washing
ton :
We leam that yesterday, soon after
the Turkish officers and their party had
sat down to dinner, at Willard’s Hotel
a servant, sent to one of their bedrooms :
with a cot, found a chair placed against
the door, inside. Pushing the door
open, the servant entered the room,and ,
saw a strange man making his exit. A
large double trunk was open, and the
contents of one half of it were strewed
around the floor. Instantly suspecting
that all was not right, the servant gave
thealann, but the thief made his es
cape unseen by' the vigilant officer al
ways on duty below stairs. The rogue ,
gained no booty before he was discover
ed, but in the other undisturbed half of
the trunk were the jeweled decorations ,
of honor of the Pasha, and two thou- ,
sand dollars in gold.

Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.
The Air Lire Knllroatl.
Jefferson, Jackson Co., )
March 19,1857. j
My Dear Dispatch Having just
returned from the Second Annual Con
vention of tlie stockholders of the Air
Line Kailroad Company, at Gainsville,
I conclude you would like a report of
its proceedings.
The company, controlled by what
motives I will not at present divulge,
have decided to locate the road byway
of Gainesville and Carnesville, running
many miles above the survey through
Jackson, as originally proposed. So far
from being an “Air Line,’’ the location
fixed upon will he as crooked' as a rain
bow, and pass thiougli a country of far
less resources than old Jackson. The
amount of stock subscribed by the up
per route is about $750,000, and the
amount necessary to complete the road
is, according to their own estimate, sl,-
500,000. So only one half the “wind
work” is accomplished; and yet the con
vention recommend the “locution of
the entire line of the road preparatory
to letting out contracts as soon as
practicable. ” The Directory have
an Herculean work before them to
raise the requisite amount, and evi
dently depend largely on faith to re
move the mountains before them. It
is believed that they have not improved
the prospects of success by so wide a de
viation from an air line. I would re
sjKctfully suggest that the next Legis
lature be petitioned to change its name,
to the “Rainbow Railroad.”
The following are the officers for the
ensuing year: Mr. J. Norcross, of At
lanta, President. E. W. Holland and
L. E. Bleckley, of Atlanta, Thos. H.
Jones, of Gwinnett, Minor W. Brown,
of Hall, Thos. Mon is, of Franklin, and
William R. Pool, of Hart county, Direc
tors ; and E M. Johnson, of Hall, Geo.
Kellogg, of Forsyth, Raymond Sanford,
of Dawson, and J. W. Pruitt, of Frank
lin, advisory Directors. Jackson.
Captain W. C. Pratt has recently re
turned from the Isthmus of Tehuante
pec, and reportß that $200,000 will put
the road in good order for business, and
is exerting himself to bring the bellige
rent parties together and finish the
road, which, when done, would secure
the mails, treasure, and travel, against
ail other combinations or routes to Cali
-0 forma.

v The City of Parks—Belle Brittan vs. Savan
nah— Who is Belle Brittan f— The Striven
House —/ ‘rtf. Fouler s Lectures-Tiic Hor
ences—Thc Adriatic —The 'Weather.
Savannah, March 20, 1858.
j. Dear Dispatch: —Here lam ill Savan
k nah—the Georgia seaport—the city of
Oglethorpe. Charleston iscalledthePal
metto city—New Orleans the Crescent
* City—Philadelphia the Quaker! ity, c
c I suggest that Savannah he called the
s City of rarks—for I have nowhere else
, seen so many. They are a very great
i convenience—as breathing places-which
t last are two scarce in many of our crowd
i ed commercim cities. Aou have hut
little need for such things in Augusta—
with your broad and beautiful streets.
' I have never yet seen anything more
5 beautiful than your Green street in
* spring and summer, with thousands of
1 bright little faces lit up with smiles, and
■ merry little voices caroling their songs
3 of joy under the glorious shades of its
magnificent oaks.
But I bad forgotten that I set out to
r speak of Savannah. I see that “Belle
Brittan,’’ who writes gossipping letters
1 for the New Orleans Picayune, was not
5 pleased with Savannah. Belle was “dis
. appointed”—actually disappointed! The
. 1 beauties of Savannah have been over
' i praised. Like a belle with an “estab
‘ lished reputation,” everybody acknowl
| edges her charms without stopping to
analyse them. And so Belle Britan de
termines to he different from anybody
and actually stops to analyse the
charms of an over praised city. “It is
a sandy, silent, stagnant city ; and al
most as ‘finished’ as the town of St.
Albans, in England, where there has
not been a house built in a quarter of a
century.” Now Belle is either wilfully
mendacious and slanderous here, or wo
fully and inexcusably ignorant of facts.
Savannah is not a noisy city, bnt is
not on the other hand either silent or
stagnant, as a glance at the trade will
triumphantly show. That it is as fin
ished as the town of St. Albans, is not
true, as the new buildings going up on
Bay street and in various other quarters |
of the city, prove beyond a question.—
Belle doubtless consoled herself with
the thought that if it was not “finish
ed’ ’ prior to her (liis) visit, it would be
after the publication of tho letter con
taining this startling intelligence. But
we still exist, thanks to a kind Provi
dence, and the general impression
seems to prevail here that Savannah
can stand one or two more visits even
from “Belle Brittan.” i
Ilut who is Belle Brittan ? Some of
your readers may not know that the
writer of these spirited epistles for the
Picayune and other paper.-, is none other
than Col. Hiram Fuller, tlie quondam
editor of that Black Republican sheet—
tlie New Yolk Mirror. The Colonel's
"disappointment’’ may have resulted
from two facts—one that himself and r
his chum, Dr. Charles Mackay, were
not universal favorites here ; the other
that Savannah is a Southern city and
its population are, many of them, the
owners of darkies—Col. Fuller's special ’
friends and pets. Go along, Belle Britr |
tan—the world is large enough—if you i
don’t like Savannah, why for Hiavpn’s
sake keep away from it.
Speaking of Savannah and her im- j
provements reminds me that I have a i
word to say about one of our new insti- j
tutions. Time was when the sojourner J
in Savannah had good reason to * ‘growl’ ’
at the Hotel accommodations of the
place. I well remember visiting the city i
some years ago and stopping at the ’
principal iliouse—l will mention no
names. It professed to be a first class t
hotel—and so it was in price, hut I
could not discover its claims to that ti
tle in any other particular. But there
is no reason for dissatisfaction now, and
you may safely promise such of your
readers as stop at the Rcriven House all
the comforts and conveniences possible
to be had at the best houses in the
country. It is conveniently located, 1
elegantly furnished and the table is not
to be surpassed anywhere. Its proprie- [
tor. Mr. J. B. Foley, is a gentleman of s
some qualifications for his business.— |j
Urbane and accommodating, he leaves “
no guest unattended to. liis personal t
appearance is decidedly in his favor.
Do you know, I think a landloui ought 11
to be the picture of good health and ,
good living. Such an one is our friend
Foley, and to so great an extent that '
t they have actually made an Alderman ’
. of him—proof positive that lie must
r have been well fed. ,
Prof. Fowler, the well know plire
j- nologist, has been in Savannah during
the week, lecturing to large and de
t lighted audiences. Whatever may be
the claims of phrenology as a science,
there can he no doubt that Prof. Fowler
, is thoroughly posted on the subject.
| He has spent a lifetime in its study,and
r his lectures are certainly among the
j most interesting I ever heard on any
. subject. He goes to Augusta from
r here.
, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Florence have
’ been playing at the Athenieum since
. Tuesday night to moderate houses only.
Mrs. Florence is a sister of Mrs. Barney
. Williams—and her acting after the
, same style. The great difficulty is that
. she overdoes everything. Her Yankee
r girl for instance, is so intensely Yan
, kee that it is inhuman. Mr. Florence
s succeeds better in other kinds of Come
> dy than in Irish and We wonder that he
j gives so much of his attention to that
. particular style, in which he can never
. hope to rival Hudson or Collins. The
I- Florences are to be succeeded by the
j Keller Tiupe—who appear Monday
night. I understand that Mr. Marchant
has become the lesse of the Athenaium
for the next season.
I intended to say something about
the run away Bark Adriatic —but have
, already written more I fear than you
will care to print. Besides our papers
here have given all the particulars.
We have had charming weather for a
week past, but there arc appearances
j of rain now. Yours, &c.

, GrapcCutliiigt).
Have you a choice grape cutting that
you want to grow !
1 hen go to the woods, dig some roots
:- of a wild grape vine, cut them into
- pieces of about six inches long, cut your
t cutting into pieces of only one, oral
d most, two buds ; insert the lower end,
by the common cleft-grafting method,
e into the piece of wild vine root; plant ii
e in the earth, leaving the hud of the cut
it ting just level with the top of the
i- ground. Every one so made will grow
and in two years become bearing plants!
Strawberry Beds.—They should be
kept free from weeds and grass, well
watered when ill flower and when bear
ing. To keep the ground always moist
1 and the fruit clean various methods are
' adopted, the favorite being a mulch of
spent tan. It keeps down -the weeds,
yields a tame acid, keeps the ground
moist, and preserves the fruit from dirt
t or mud.
Very funny stories are told of the
process of serving a call of the Senate,
an hour or two after midnight, on Sen
, tors who had gone home and to bed.—
The Sergeant-at-Arnis, accompanied by
carriages, rode around the city and col
lected the deserters, peaceably if lie
could, but forcibly, if lie must. Sam
Houston was captured at the Kirkwood
House, taken from his bed, and carried
growling to the Capitol. When called
upon for an excuse for his absence, he
gravely requested tlio Senate to inform
him what excuse it had to offer for the
1 outrage it had committed upon liis per
, sonal rights, by dragging him from his
: bed at that untimely hour. He protest
ed that he would not he pacified till the
I Senate apologized to him. Senator
i Clay, of Alabama, kept the doors lock
. ed, and defied the Sergcant-at-Arms—
flatly refusing to obey the mandate. —
Generally, however, the absentees sur
i rendered themselves with a good grace,
, and a quorum was obtained at 4 o'clock
in the morning.
■«. -
Tuf, Largest Room.—lt is stated that
the largest room that was ever con
structed is that in which the tobacco
stores are kept in the London Docks.
The room is said to cover nearly six
acres, being, of course, under one roof!
It is a curious circumstance, that this
enormous apartment should be devoted
to an article of mere luxury.
Singular Fact.
Out of 700,0000 Jews in the United
States, only one is registered in the
census ns a farmer. This is interpreted
as one of the evidences of tlie singular
isolation of the Jews, as prophesied in
Amos 9: 9—“ For, 10, 1 will command
and I will sift the House of Israel '
among all nations, like as corn is sifted j
in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain
fall upon earth.”

; | gg” The Ore a t P r obleisil
Solved !~l>P.. MOUSE'S INVIGORATING COR-!
I*l AL. ' The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach (
has lost the pow. r of duly converting food into a |
i life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single |.
I course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
| fluid rc acquires its solvent power, and the crude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was i
paralyzed aud unstrung, becomes, under the 1
wholesome revolution created in the system, the 1
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the j.
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia. Tic-doloreux '
< or ordinary headachy afflicted with vague ter-
I rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
! paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that j
tori ible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of | t
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain ,
or disability arising from the unnatural condition c
oT the wonderful machinery which connects ef
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization. *
Females who have tried it arc unanimous m °
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that 11
woman has ever received from the hards of (
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im- t<
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. 11
While it renews the strength of the digestive 11
powers it creates a desire for the solid materia 1
which is to be subjected to their action. As an p
ajTpetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en- e
joyment arc desirable, this medicine is indeed of c
preciou-- worth
Its beneficial effects arc not confined to either d
sex or to any age. ’me feeble girl, the ading tl
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn «
man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ y
will all find immediate and permanent relief from u
the of this incomparable renovator. To fl
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it n
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible milady. There are many P
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 ns it exists, without re
lerenco to the causes, and will not only remove (j
the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution \

A Liver Remedy.— We
wish to say to every person who reads this that
there is an article known as Dr. Sanford's In
vigorator, or Liver Remedy, which can be relied
on as certain to cure liver complaint ii: any oi
its forms, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and nu
inerous other Complaints, described iu another
column, besides which it is one of the greatest
preparations or cures for consumption, taken iu
early stages, that is now known.
We take it for granted, as experiment has pro
ven that diseases of the lungs are not generally
the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated
system, caused by the improper action of the
liver, which reduces the power of the lun s to
resist or throw off diseases caused by cold und
irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of this
disease, because the liver has incapacitated
them from performing their proper action <>f
throwing off diseased matter caused by cold.
Thus to prevent consumption, cure the liver
and keep the system strong enough to throw off
slight diseases ol the lungs.
There is not in the world a better liver reme
dy or a cure for debilitated system than Dr.
Sanford’s Invigorator, for it has been fully tried
in a large and extended practice till its results
are fully known, and now it Is offered as a tried
remedy, and one that can be relied on.—Lan
