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 «ity i 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. ” thirty-fifth c ongress. 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. *-••-. In the hearing of an Irish case for as sault and battery, a counsel, while cross examining one of the witnesses, asked him what they had at the first place they stopped at ? “ Four glasses of ale.” "What next?” "Two glasses of whiskey. “ What next ?” “One glass of brandy.” “ What next?” L “ A Fight.” \ »-•-■ ‘'*t&>hn, can you tell me the difference of gravitation and attraction ~Of«<ahesion?” “J&ss* ' «tr ; f attraction of gravitafTon'pultTadrunk en man to the ground, and the attrac tion of cohesion prevents his getting up again.’' Heney Heine, the German author, gives the following.

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. 1 Before the Mormons abandoned Jack- Ison crunty.

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 LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush j of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debit-1 ity. hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofsolf-dc s ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste Incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, bys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotcucy, constipation, etc., from whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute ly infallible.

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 caster Whig. mh9 |teto Itorfismmts.
