3 O’CLOCK P. »I, APRIL. 1, 1858.
Notice to Advertisers.
Advertisements lor the Evemxg Dispatch must i
fee handed in by eleven o'clock in the forenoon, in
•filer to appear the same day. The heavy pres
sure of advertisements upon the columns of our
paper will not admit of their reception after the
hour named.
LOCAL MATTERS.
(if' We respectfully ask pardon of
Prof. Fowler and our readers for the j
utter nonsense which the types made in ;
our notice of his lecture on yesterday. ;
The printers say we write a had gfC.and
the paragraph in question was not i
‘•proved.” "Taming children” should
. have been braining, and “practical limbs” i
should have been practical hints. Our
readers cannot realize the difficulty of j
preventing errors in an evening paper.
We are obliged to go to press early, in j
the midst of the hurry of receiving tele- j
graphic dispatches, local items and ad
vertisements, and there is frequently no
time left to read proof.
jiff Go to the United Ktates Hotel at i
ten o’clock to-night and get a free fish
chowder, done up in Clark s best style, i
Matrimony.
Prof. Fowrer did not deliver his lee-1
lure last night, as previously announc
ed. It was postponed, on account of
the inclemency of the weather, until
8 o’clock this evening, at which time
the Professor will lecture upon the in
teresting subject of Matrimony, or Love,
—its Laws and Power over Human Des
tiny ; Selection ; Courtship ; its Fatal
Errors and Right Management; and
Married Life—its Quicksands, and how
to render all Marriages llappy ; full of
home truths. The theme is a popular ;
one, ajtttin the hands of Prof. Fowler, j
should draw a crowded house. Admis
sion only 25 cents.
River Sews.
The Iron Company’s steamer W. H. j
Stark left yesterday morning for Savan-1
nail. The steamer Augusta is expected
to-morrow morning. The river is iu_
fine boating order.
- *
w A correspondent ot tire Savannah j
Georgian, writing from Augusta on yes
terday afternoon —rather a fast youth
we should say—says he dined ou that
big gobbler at the United States, and
’’ took the local puffs of the Dispatch ns
dessert.” Too many hulls in our paper
yesterday to make it palatable, to most
folks. Perhaps the writer is "Hing-;
li.-li” —and used to carnivorous diet?
who knows ?
|ff” The Charleston Courier has veceiv- !
eda telegraphic dispatch from Hon. Ed- j
ward Everett, dated Tuesday, which j
says : “I will speak in Charleston on
the 18th of April; if you can, arrange
for mo at Savannah and Augusta for
the next week.”
*.■»..
The Weather.
March falsified the old adaga this
time: for it not only came in like a
lion, but went out like a lion, giving us
a parting growl last night that would
have done credit to the monarch of the
African desert in hisangriest mood. Af
ter a spell of delightful Spring weather,
the atmosphere became quite cool on
Tuesday night, and yesterday we had
■succession of showers, with a blustering
wind, which became quite fierce after
■dark.
The above is from the Savannah Setcs,
and to its observations touching the j
•lose of March, we, as an Augusta sliiv
eror, can feelingly say “Dirro to Mr.
Burke.” April made her advent this
morning in a very impolite manner,
whistling and blowing into the very
nostrils of Spring in tlie coldest con
•eivabki way. The geuy. godt'o.t yet
waves her gu lauds patiently before the i
rude approach of her handmaid, and
they have not suffered from her vio
lence.
Ranis Resumption In fieorgia.
The Savannah Republican has been
advised from a reliable source, that the
Hanks of Savannah and Augucta have
resolved unconditionally, to resume specie
payments on the first of May.
This arrangement seems to have been
made, independent of the course pursu
ed by Charleston and the Carolina Banka.
While the evidence it affords of the sol
vency and good condition of the Banks
of the two leading commercial centres
of our State, is very gratifying, there ,
(coin to be considerations which render
concert of action witli the Banks of our
sister State and city, of very great im- \
portanee
One leading argument urged upon
.the banks by our merchants, us a reas< n
for suspension, was the inconvenience 1 :
of a mixed currency ; the b ; lls of Car- 1
olina entering-very largely into the cir- (
.ulating medium of our people. This ;
■inconvenience will beuponusin its worst j
form, if our banks resume before those ■
of Carolina. 1
And we see no consideration which I
lenders resumption at so early a day at
all imporrant. For all practical purpo- ,
scs the banks arc fulfilling the wants of i
the people on a specie basis already.— *
Exchange is at a rate entirely satisfae- ,
tory to all—they comply with all indi- t
v'dual necessities for specie, and there '
is no clamor, or lack of confidence on ,
khe part of the public. Indeed public ji
expectation has not looked for resump
tion earlier than July, and we have no
doubt that our business men, toward
whom the banks of our city have, we
are proud to say, acted most generously
—will be as earnest in their desire to
! avoid the evils of a mixed currency,
' caused by a lack of concert among the
banks in resuming, as they were that
they should suspend to avoid similar
inconvenience. We indulge these re
flections without any knowledge as to
the intention of the banks of Charles
ton in reference to resumption.
How Hoosler Whipped the Tiger.
| Some years ago, I was in a gambling
! house in Cincinnati, a silent looker on
at a game of faro. In those days such
| operations were carried on rather open
jly, and almost under the eyes of the
j authorities, with unbarred doors, so
I that any one could walk in, cither in
1 the capacity of a better, or a mere spec
alator. In the latter capacity I found
| mvseif, near midnight, when the door
!of the den opened. Just as the game
! began to flag, and not a sound was
i heard but the click of the checks, and
] the rattle of some dishes a darkey was
■ placing on a table, in walked a tall,
rawboned, country-looking chap, in a
grey satinet coat and a coon-skin cap
He walked right up to the only vacant
I place at the table, and, drawing from a
iside pocket an enormous calf skin wal
i let, which looked as if it might contain
[at least a thousand, in fives and tens,
addressed the dealer:
“ Look here, Mister, I’m going to
| fight this Tiger up to the nines! Un
derstand me, I alters fight to the death:
that is, until I break you or you break
me!”
[We must here inform the reader un
learned in the mysteries of gambling,
that playing at faro is technically term
ed by the sporting fraternity, "bucking
at the tiger."’]
“ Very good,” said the dealer, “ you
are one of the kind we like to deal for.”
And his eyes fairly danced at the cer
tainty of depleting the plethoric look
ing pocket book.
"But, understand me,” continued
the rough customer, “ there is one thing
j yon must first agree to; and that is, if
you break me, yon must give me mo
ney enough to carry me home.”
“I’ll do it,” said the "leg."
j “ Yes! yes! yes!” responded the
! entire party. Here the darky announc
!ed supper, and the keeper of "the ti
ger” announced a recess for half an
j hour. The crowd went into the good
j things prepared, and Rough was not a
! whit behind the rest. He dived into
the venison, the oyster pie, and the
“ chicken fixing,” until he could eat no
more with any degree of safety to him
self—not forgetting to wash down the
whole with liberal potations of brandy.
Refreshment over, labor bade fair to
commence in right down earnest. The
dealer took off his coat, rolled up his
sleeves, and seated himself. Rough
squared himself at the table, and again
drew the ponderous wallet. All eyes
were now tinned upon him: for spec
tators, patron * of the establishment,
and even bankers themselves looked for
a tall game. Rough drew from one of
I the pockets of the capacious wallet a
i greasy and rather suspicions looking
| live dollar bill, and call d for the worth
| of it in chips. After scrutinizing it a
moment, the dealer tossed it into his
j drawer, and passed over a stack of ten
chips to Rough. He next gave the
jviirds sundry scientific “flirts,” placed
|them in the box. and announced "All
Ready !” Rough placed his ten chins
on the ace, and the deal went on. Some
eigiil or ten cards were drawn out,
when ail ace came to view on the top of
(he box, and tlie dealer immediately
; put ten more chips on fop of Rough’s
• pile. Rough let the twenty chips lay
(upon the ace, and it was not long be
fore another one made its appearance,
hut tliis time it fell by the side of the
box, and the dealer “raked down” the
entire pile. He then waited a few mo
ments in expectation that Rough would
open the pocket book again, but that
individual continued resting his chin
on the palm of his hand, and gazing
abstractedly on the ace.
“Well,” said the "leg,” aint you
j going to bet any more ?”
! “Nary red—l’m broke—flat!” said
Rough.
I The “leg” laid back in his chair,
jand in a tone of the most profound as
:toni.shment said, “The deuce you are !
i And I pledged myself to give you mo
ney enough to carry you home, in case
you got broke!”
'• You did that same, old boss ?"
“ Where do you live ?"
“ At Brownsville, up the river.”
“ Wir'd, ivill it cost to take you there?”
“At the present stage of water, I
thing I can get up for about fourteen
dollars.”
Suclt a shout as went up at this junc
ture was never before heard within the
walls of a Faro-room !—while with
great good humor the “leg” counted
out the fourteen dollars.
“ My friend,” said he to Rough, “it
is not every day one meets a patron
like you. Uo and help your, elf to an
other drink of brandy and water, and a
cigar. Whenever you come to town
again, give us a call Call often—yon
will find the latch-string out. I wish
you a safe journey. Give my respects
to your wife and children. Bye, I've! ’
Rough didn't shrink one iota from
his railery, hut took the proffered drink
ai d cigar. “I say,” said he, as he held
the door ajar, '■ 1 wish you better luck
with the next grecnlookiug customer
tiiat comes along; but before you make
suclt a bargain witli him, jest ascertain
where he lives, and the size of his pile!''
—and so saying, he disappererl amid the
guffaws of the crowd, in which the deal
er himself heartily joined.
Land Salts in Kansas,
The President jpts issued iiis procla
mation, No. 601, which appears in this
morning’s paper, for Bales of public
laniti, at the land offices at Kick upon and
Lecoiriptun. Kansas Territory, in July
embraces 798,686 acres, and that on the
l'Jtn, 701,082 acres Tim sale at Le
Compton on the 6th July will embrace
750,410 acies, and that on the Hllii
056,511 acres; making an aggregate of
2,912.231 acres. These will l )e the first
public sales of Government lamia it, the
Territory -National Inlellgencer.
Unexplained, the above would not ht
correctly undeislood by the general
reader. I here have heretofore been
several Government bales of lands in
Kansas, but they were not “ Govern
ment lands ” The lands heretofore
sold were Indian “ Trust Kinds. ’ winch
the Government was bound by trea‘y to
sell to the highest bidder fur cash for
, the benefit Iff the Indians ; they were
[never open to preemption, and laud
warrants would not He taken in pay
, ment. The lands now advertised be
long to the Government in fee simple,
ire subject to pre-emption by actual set
tlers, and may be paid for in laud-war
rants. We presume, however, that
nearly all of them are already covered
by pre-emption claims ; in fact we are
certain that tills is the case, hut specu
: lators can slili operate largely at the
sales by side bargains witli the “set
tlers. ’ We look for an advance in
land warrants as a consequence of the
ordering ol these large sales ; fur every
i tract offered will be eageriy purchased
by squatters or speculators.
