{Sf Wo learn from the Columbus
Sun that Mrs. J. H. Daniel, of that city,
was bady burned in Griffin a few days
since. She was preparing to leave for
Colurahus, and about three o’clock she
had risen from her bed to get ready for
the train, which was to leave in a short
time, and after dressing, all hut her
outer dress, she stooped near the lire to
tic the shoes of her little child, when
her dress came in contact with the
flames, and in a moment it was in a
blaze. She went to the bed and took
some of the coverings and enveloped
hersolf, then fell on the floor, and thus
extinguished the flames, but not until
she was severely burned.
IsT Advices from Aspinwall, New
Granada, state that General Santa Anna
left Carthagena on the 12th ult. for
Havana, on his way to Mexico, under
the protection of Spain, it was said
that he could only raise the sum of SB,-
000 on his property at Turbaco, which
is valued at a million or more.
The Future of Montgomery.
An English traveler, who was lately
«n a visit to the South, thus writes to
the New York Day Book about the capi
tal of our sister State of Alabama.
Montgomery is suriounded by ac.nn
try that must, when all her projected
railways are completed, make her a
great inland city, second only to St.
Louis. Cotton, coal, iron, the cereals,
marble, granite, &c., will come to her
in abundance -all she lacks is an outlet
to her accumulating productions, on the
Gulf of Mexico. This ii offered by the
projected railway hence to Pensacola, in
the State of Florida. I understand this
road is under full construction with the
exception of about 17 miles. The whole
length of the line is 160 miles, of which
50 miles have been graded down from
Montgomery, and 37 miles up from
Pensacola, whilst 50 miles more are now
being vigorously graded from the Hon
da line through Conecuh county. The
iron rails are being laid down for 30
miles from Montgomery, and it is said
45 miles will soon be in running order
up from Pensacola. Is is a great and
commanding work, and its projectors
look forward to its completion in two
year*’ time.
The completion of the road from Pen
aacola to Montgomery at once connects
New York, Cincinnati and Chieagowith
with the Gnlf of Mexico, with Cuba and
Central America, besides with Mexico
and Texas. It is one of the base lines of
communication in the United States;
and Pensacola at the Gulf end of the
base must become a great commercial

A Blind Girl" Seeing” » Bfny. ‘
During the performance of “ Thai
Jewess” at the American theater, Ha/
Francisco, a short time ago ; a little
girl attracted much aitention by sui
pressed but violent sobbing. It whs |
thought, at firßt, that she was a chpd (
whose relined feelings were more sus
ceptible than those of other, older agid
more experienced in the world, and
that she looked on the6ceneas rea'.V-
Bui that was not the cause of her grieg.
Before losing her sight she had seen thi
play, and hearing that it was to be per- ,
formed that night by Mrs. Hayne, she
desired to be taken to the theater to
-‘see it.” Several times she whispered
te her mother, “There I remember that
part, how 1 do wish I could 6ce it’s so
dark ! When the Jewess was about
ascending to the cauldron, the child
tried to look towards the stage hut
failing to penetrate the curtain which
hid the scene from herself alone, she
buried her face in her hands and cried
with bitter vexation and despair. All
who knew of the little girl’s misfortune
shated in her grief ahd disappointment,
hut they could not sec and feel the ter
rible shadows that hung about ker
heart, dark as the plumes of a raven.
What a cheerless horizon is hers ! But
for her there is light beyond the rayless
ways of time, where brighter lamps, lit
from the Holy of Holies, will enable
her to gee clearly as the archangel who
has looked upon the gorgeous scenery
since the birth of ages. ”

Washington, March, 27. I
SENATE.
The Senate was not in session to-day. j
HOUSE.
The House proceeded to the considc- j
uition of the special order, namely : the j
report from the select committee, eon
eluding with a resolution that it is inex-1
pedient for the House to take further j
action on the resolutions referred to
them, proposing the expulsion of Mr. O.
B. Matteson, a member of the House.
Mr. Seward supported the views ot
the majority of the committee, contend-
I iug against the power of the House, as
the case now stands.
' Mr. Ritchie moved that the whole
subject he laid upon the table ; and
, this was agreed to—yeas 96, nays 69.
Mr. Shaw, of Illinois, theu made a
statement. He alluded to the remark
~f Mr. Smith, of Virginia, that the suc
. ecssor of Col. Richardson (Mr. Morris)
i, had informed him that the Democratic
members from Illinois had held a con
ference and came to the conclusion that
the only chance for Judge Douglas to
be re-elected to the Senate would he
for him to oppose the admission of Kan
sas under the Lccompton Constitution.
Mr. Shaw wished merely to say he had
, no knowledge of such a conference, lie
was certain he did not participate in it.
Mr. Morris, of Illinois, made a state
ment, that no such conference was held.
He recollected having a private conver
sation with Mr. Smith, hut that gentle
man had wholly misapprehended him.
Mr. Smith, reiterated what lie had
already said, having a distinct recollec
tion of the conversation.
Mr. Morris, said that Judge Douglas,
Col. Richardson and himself, had aeon-;
1 versation at Brown's hotel, as to the!
time when the first named should makej
his speech against Lecompton. As a,
warm, personal and political friend of
Judge Douglas, he certainly could have
had no motive to injure him.
Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, by per
mission, made a statement, corrobora
ting Mr. Smith’s statement.
Mr. Marshall, of Illinois, said no such
conference took place.
Mr. Morris repeated the purport of
the conversation between him and Mr.
Smith, insisting there was a misappre
hension of what lie said,
Mr. Wright could see no propriety in
continuing this debate. There seemed
to be a tendency to widen the breach.
Mr. Morris did not seem to entertain
a favorable opinion of repeating private
conversations.
Mr. Smith knew of no difference be
twe’en public men and public acts, and
whose conversations took place affect
ing his country, except when there was
injunction of confidence, he would al
lude to them.
After a speech by Mr. Lane in favor
of Lecompton, and by Mr. Hall, of Mas
sachusetts, against it, the House ad
journed.

Desperate Encounter with Dogs.
The South Side Democrat says that
Mr. Thus. Whitworth, residing in Din
widdie county, a few miles from Peters
burg, was badly bitten by his own dogs,
a few days since under the following
circumstances;
He was on his way to the meat house,
accompanied by a servant woman, when
from some cause his two large hull dogs
flew at her. He turned, on hearing the
' cries of the woman, and succeeded in
i rescuing her, when she ran some dis
,. tance and fell fainting to the ground.
The dogs now vigorously attacked him.
r and for some time it required all his
1 efforts to prevent them from dragging
. him to the ground. His strength was
, fast failing him, he had nothing with
which he could defend himself, and no
one was near to render him assistance.
A billet of wood lay upon the ground,
and he thought thatif he could gain suf
ficient time to stoop and secure it. he
might be able to drive them off. Bv a
• renewed effort with his feet he succeed
■ ed in forcing them hack and quickly
reached the billet, but ere his lingers
reached it the larger dog taking advan
tage of his position, seized bitn by- lie
I neck. Mr. Whitworth had now nearly
1 given up all hopes of rescue, hut witli
admirable presence of mind, he sum
' mond his remaining strength, and
grasping the dog by the throat succeed
■ ed in choking him off and forced him
* against the house, where he continued
' to hold him, when the other dog caught
him by the arm which hold the former
A forcible blow from the unencumbered
hand caused him to release his hold, hut
only to change his attack to another
quarter, and burying his teeth in Mr.
W’s hip he continued to wrench and
chew the flesh. In the meantime, a
man working in the field, attracted by
the screams of the woman before faint
ing, and the continued cries of the
daughter of Mr. Whitworth, who ob
served from the window, the desperate
situation of her father, hastened to the
house and arrived at this crisis, and af
ter a severe encounter with the smaller
dog succeeded in driving him off He
then returned to the assistance of Mr.
W., whostill held the larger dog chok
ing him against the house, and was di
rected by him to knock the dog on the
head with an axe, which was according
ly done, and the dog thrown aside for
dead, but he revived in the course of
an hour, and went about the premises
as if nothing had occurred- As may be !
ex was ass!6T&t to the
JjpwtttTJn n deplorable condition, ino
the larger dog was shot,
aptT it is tmS intention of Mr. W. to dis
pose of the other.

A Russian Baby.
In the life of the Russian peasant, there
is a neriod anterior to all tunics, man
tles, and even sheepskins, during which
they live a kind of mummy life, only,
! unlike the Egyptian, it is the first, in
stead of the last, stage of their exis
! tence *, for the youngest children are al
ways swaddled :m<l rolled up tight in
hand ages, so that they may be conven
iently put away without risk oi getting
themselves intb mischief or danger. On
entering one of their houses, an enthus
iastic traveller thinks he has come upon
some pagan tribe, having their idols and
penates, with the hands well carved
out, and the rest of the body left in
block. He looks curiously at one laid
up on a shelf, another huug to the wall
on a peg, a third slang over one of the
main beams of the roof, and rocked by
the mother, who has the cord looped
over her foot. “ Why, that is a child!
cries the traveller, with a feeling sirni
! lav to that experienced on treading up
ion a toad which was supposed to be a
stone. “Why, what else should it be?’
[answers the mother. Having learned
iso much in so short a time, the inquisi
i tive traveller wishes to inform himself
about the habits of the creature; hut
i his curiosity being somewhat dampened
;by the extreme dirt of the little figure,
ihe inquires of the parent when it is
'washed. “Washed!" shrieks the hor-
I rifled mother; “washed! what, wash
a child ! You would kill it." Discour
i aged alike from personal investigation
■of the subject and from inquiry, lie
turns to the elder children When
freed from its bandages, the child s edu
cation begins at once, and is wholly ot aj
| practical character. He—or she, forlll, 1
|is the same with both sexes makes his
i first struggles in life by r floundering in
1 the sand or mud in front of the house, j
I clad in a coarse, ragged shirt, and noth- j
| ing else. Being taught, by stern expo- *
j riencc, to shun, if possible, the Chaiyb
!dis of mud, he falls uponScyJla, in the,
shape of a lean, long-legged pig, which j
' is always prowling about on the chance!
'of something to eat. booking upon an j
occasional tumble as one of the natuial
evils of life, and therefore bearing no
malice against his heavy and sometimes
inconvenientcompairon, lie begins .to
! imitate the pertinacious diligence ivitbj
j which that animal takes everything in
to its mouth, rejecting only what is ah- j
solutely impossible. Having so furl
finished his education as to distinguish!
between the e il and the good, in mat
j ters of the palate, at least, he is promo- j
ted to the privilege of the family meals j
j of black bread and “ stclii," or cabbage,
j soup, and to the dignity of an old]
!sheepskin.

j jff The Great P r oiilem j
i Solved !--DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR- j
I IslAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
| has lost the power of duly converting food into a
j life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
! course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
! fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
! nutriment, which was a load anil a burthen to j
the sulferer, while his digestive organization was j
' paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the j
| wholesome revolution created in the system, the j
basis of activity, strength and health. f
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the i
! acute, physical agony of Neuraigla, Tic-dolorcux j
I or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- ,
j rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with j
| paralysis,; borne down and dispirited by that;
iteriible lassitude which proceeds frum a lack of
I nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain j
i or disability arising from the unnatural condition i
j of the wonderful machinery which connects ev- •
I ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immodhte benefit
f from the use of this Cordial, which atonce calms,
j invigorates and regulate? the shattered nervous
! organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that j
woman has ever received from the hands of j
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has 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 material
, which is to be subjected to their action. As an.
j appetiser it has no equal In the PharmacopiuA-i
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
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
willall find lmmcdiateand permanent relief from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
I against that terrible malady. There are many
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
fcrence to the causes, and will not only remove
the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con-;
stitution

fisT A Giver Remedy.—Wc
wish to say to every person who reads this that
there is an article known as Dr. Sanford's In
vigor ator, er Liver Remedy, which can be relied
ou as certain to cure liver complaint in any oi
j its forms, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and nu-1
mcrous other Complaints, described in another
column, besides which it is one of the greatest
preparations or cures for consumption, taken in
early stages, that is now known.
We take it for granted, as experiment has prr.
ven that diseases of the lungs are not generally
the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated
Sj stem, caused by the improper ac tion of the
liver, which reduces the power of the lun s to
resist or throw off diseases caused by cold and
irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of this
disease, because the liver has incapacitated
them from performing their proper action of
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 of the lungs.
There is not in the world a better liver reme
dy or a euro for debilitated system than Dr.
Sanford’s lnvigorator, for it has been fully tried
in a large and extended practice till its results
are tally known, and now it Is offered as a tried
remedy, and one that can be relied on.— Lan
