The Family Visitor says that Carter
Shepherd, Esq., was seriously injured at
his saw-mill about nine miles from
Madison. He was attempting, with his
right foot, to brush away the saw-dust
which had gathered around a circular
saw in rapid motion, when his foot was
caught by the saw, and the outside ter
ribly mangled, from the toes to the
heel, penetrating deeper and deeper as
it proceeded back, and greatly injuring
the bone of the latter.
Mr. Alexander Marshall, who killed
Mr. Warren Suitoh in Fort Gaines, on
Sunday last, was tried before Judge
Kiddoo, at the Superior Court of Clay
county, and acquitted on Wednesday.
The case of Henry Spear, charged
with the crime of negro stealing, was
tried in Sumter, Superior Court, on
Wednesday last. He was found guilty
and sentenced by his Honor Judge Al
len, to seven years imprisonment in
the Penitentiary. This makes the fourth

nr a writer in the Montgomery
Mail says that a man named D earing
has been travelling in West Alabama,
as an Agent for the New Orleans Pica
yune, and “ Deßuw's Review ” who ex
pressed himself warmly against slavery
and its extension. The publishers of
these journals should be a little more
careful whom they select to do busi
ness for them.
Skies Brightening.
The manufacturing towns of New
England are beginning to recover from
the late financial prostration—mills and
workshops are starting up all over the
country. The Worcester Spy says that
Messrs. Thayer, Houghton & Co., manu
facturers of machinery, in that city,
will resume business at an early dav,
with a force of twenty-five hands. Their
works have been suspended nearly five
months.
The Lvnn papers say that business
matters continue to improve, and it be
gins to look like old times again in that
city. Sixteen thousand pairs of shoos
were cut and trimmed at one establish
ment last week.
No Slr-ee,
The Mail tells of a lovyer “so galient
and bold,” who presented himself be
fore a young squire to be done for hy
menially. When the girl was asked if
she would “ love, honor, and obey ”
the gentleman, who stood by her side,
she tartly replied, “No, sir-ee!” Noth
ing could change the mind of the capri
cious fair, and the would-be Benedick
went wifeless away.
Ireland.
It is hardly to be wondered at that
the emigration from Ireland amounts
to 100,000 annually when we read the
accounts of destitution which recent in
vestigations iiave brought to light in
the county of Donegal. Here is a pic
ture of wretchedness which makes one
shudder:
“I entered one of the dwellings on
all fours, through a hole in the wall,
and I there found an aged matron.—
She was seated before the fire on the
hearth, the turf of which had been dug
by the male members of the family.—
There was no window or aperture to ad
mit the light of day, save the hole
by which I entered. The head of
the bed was in the corner; a few
sods of turf at head and foot to support
it; a board for the side, with a few
sticks thrown across, one end inserted
in the wall, and the other end support
ed by stones and turf. There was no
bed tick, no clothing, with the excep
tion of a woolen rag, nor was it suffi
cient in size for a single grown adult.’’

Barbarous Affair.
The St. Louis Republican publishes a
letter from Cario, 111., of the 23d, from
which we extract the following :
t A gentleman from Charleston, Missis
sippi county, Mo., reports that a bloody
and fatal duel took place a few miles
above that place yesterday, between two
men named —— Lane and Allen Hale
They had an old grudge, and agreed to
meet and settle it by fighting with dou
ble barreled shot guns at ten paces
which they did accordingly. At the
firet giving of the word, both guns
missed (ire ; at the next attempt Hale's
gun missed fire, and Lane’s went off,
pouring its load of buck-shot into Hale s
body. Hale felljand Lane went up to
him and beat him on the head with his
gun, breaking the gun.
Lane had not been arrested this morn
ing, the people appearing to regard it
os a fair fight.

Social Correspondence of the Disjxitch.
Charleston, April 3, 1858.
When I accepted the position of “Spe
cial Correspondent of the Dispatch,” some
weeks since, 1 little thought, and really j
did not intend, that so much time should
elapse ere I undertook the fulfillment t
of my promise. However, I shall here- r
' after strive to be more regular in my
. habits, and give you an inkling of what I
is passing here from time to time.
We are now enjoying the most de
lightful spring weather, and the mar
‘ ket-gardens in.the outskirts of the city 1
are in a flourishing condition, and the '
early variety of vegetables are finding
their way into our market-houses. Two
weeks more of good weather will bring
us an abundant supply of pens, beans, ,
&c., &c.
Businoss continues brisk, and our
merchants are wearing smiling faces,
under the prospect of being able to
make up for the dull times of the past
winter. Country merchants are buying
largely here—much more so than usual
—in preference to sending North for '
their stocks. The large wholesale ;
houses here have well-assorted stocks,
and there is no question but it is to the
interests of the country merchant to
give them their patronage.
Several communications have appear- .
ed in our city papers in favor of erecting
an Educational College, instead of mon
ument, to the memory of the great
Calhoun, to be called the Calhoun Tern- ;
pie. The ladies of the Calhoun Monu
ment Association, who are laboring ,
with commendable assiduity,are to open ■
a “Floral Fair,” at Institute Hall, on j
the 15th of next month, in aid of their ,
enterprise, and, from the interest alrea- 1
dy manifested, we may reckon upon its j
being well sustained. j
The quill war between the editors of
the Charleston Courier, and the Standard,
still continues its fourth week with un
abated vigor. Some good “hits” are 1
made on both sides, while the Standard
writer shows himself very far from be
ing the “pigmy” his “amiable” cotem
porary would strive to make him ap- i
i
pear.
The Keller Troupe are drawing crowd- |
ed houses at the Theatre, and will con
tinue their performances all next week. (
Barbie's Coquette is on exhibition at
Hibernian Hall, and is clearing a great ]
sensation. We may criticise and harsh- *
ly judge the living coquette, but we may '
not do thus in this work of art. In the ;
marble is formed all the beauty of the 1
living model, without her fickle-mind
edness.
Our people are grumbling much over i
the increased amount of their gas-bills
for the past quarter. A new light has
appeared in the shape of a new lamp,
which manufactures its own gas as it
r burns it. Danford & Baily's patent
„ non-explosive, self-generating gas-light
is destined to become a popular thing '
s in every community, and especially in
places destitute of coal-gas light. The <
substances used in generating the gas |
are alcohol and turpentine. The burner ;
is extremely simple and not at all liable
to injury, either from use or disuse. —
Messrs. Kellogg & Dodge, the well
| known dealers in Machinery and Patent
-11 rights, at 54 Broad street, have pur
chased the patents in this State, and,
for several evenings past, have illumi
{ nated theirstore with thisnewgas-light,
giving all an opportunity of judging
’ of its intensity, which compares very' fa
vorably with the coal-gas 1 iglit. Your cor
respondent is using one of these lights,
‘ and does not hesitate to give it his most
cordial approbation. Mr. Danford con
templates visiting Augusta, when you
will have an opportunity of giving the
” matter your personal examination, and,
as I perceive your citizens, too, are ;
complaining of their gas-bill, it were
well they too do not neglect to examine
it also.
Henry Ward Beecher on the Stage. ,
Burton's old Theatre in New York
has been recently turned into a church.
' It having been announced that Mr. H.
W. Beecher would appear as the "star,”
'■ the building was jammed full, and still
’ multitudes crowded every entrance,
. pressing for admission. We are told by
> the New York papers: “All the pit,
the galleries, the proscenium boxes,
t even the sky lights in the peak of the
' theatre, showed a densely packed mass
* of heads, all turned intently towards
j the stage, where for sometime, the per
former sat alone.” The Boston Courier
' thus refers to the performance :
The performer on this occasion was
Henry Ward Beecher. In a theatre he
was in his element. According to the
description given, the audience had
from him playing in all its variety. His
range of parts was large. He gave
them now pantomine and now some
thing more in the style of the legitimate
drama, and anon an exhibition, which
if not actual buffoonery, yet had very
much the effect of it. At the opening
of the services, he read in succession a
long pile of notes for prayers, making
comments on each and pointing outthe
peculiarities noticeable in each individ
ual case. This again gratified cariosi
ty and promoted gossip, and had a
highly novel and dramatic effect. Af
ter a while, hearing certain sounds of
music from some neighboring place, he
came forward “ to the footlights,” his
1 hand raised, with the air and in the
attitude of a good listening actor. The
assembly was of a sympathizing spirit.
When the hour approached for closing
the exercises, and upon the intimation
of a hymn to be given out with this in
tent, there was a general shout of “go
: on,” “goon,” from all parts of the
■ bouse, followed by cries to “keepit up
all day I”
THIRTY.FIFTH CONGRESS.
Washington, April 1, 1858.
SENATE.
Mr. Brown, from the Committee on j
the District of Columbia, reported a bill I
providing for additional force and new
regulations.
On motion of Mr. Hunter, the Sen
ate passed the Army Bill, substituting j
two for four regiments, besides that for!
Texas.
The Kansas bill from the House was
received. Mr. Green moved that the
House amendment be disagreed to.—
The subject will be taken up to-morrow.
HOUSE.
The House considered police affairs in
the City of Washington, and instruct
ed the proper Committee to make en
quires.
Every member was in his seat except
Mr. Caruthers, of Missouri, who is sick.
The gallaries were crowded to suffoca
tion. Many foreign ministers were pre
sent, and the greatest anxiety was
manifest.
Mr. Stephens had scarcely moved to
take up the Kansas bill, when the no
torious Joshua B. Giddings, of Ohio,,
objected to its second reading. In such
cases, the rule requires that the ques
tion be taken on the rejection. This
is not considered a fair test of the sen
timent of the House, for some Demo
crats and Americans who opposed the
Senate Bill, wished to amend it, but
the Republicans gave a full square vote
for rejection.
Mr. Quitman offered as a substitute,
the Senate bill, with the exception of the j
Pugh and Green proviso, declaring that
the people have the right to alter and ;
amend the Constitution. This was de
feated by a vote of 72 to 160.
The vote was then taken on Mr. Crit
tenden’s amendment as a substitute to
the amendment by the Anti-Lecompton
portion of Democrats in the latter con
ference. This amendment was carried
by eighty majority. It provides for
the admission of Kansas, but refuses to
submit the Constitution to the people
for their votes. If rejected, a Conven
tion is to be called to form a new Con
stitution. As Roon as the latter shall
be approved, the President is to issue
his proclamation, and Kansas is to be
admitted without further action on the
part of Congress.
Washington, April 2.
SENATE.
The Kansas bill from the House, was
taken up, and Mr. gGrsen, of Missouri,
moved that the House amendments to
the bill he disagreed to.
Messrs. Bigler, of Pennsylvania,
Douglas, of Illinois, and Pugh, of Ohio,
addressed the Senate. The latter made
an able legal speech, showing reasons
why he would chauge his vote and op
pose the House amendment.
The question was then put, and Mr.
Green's motion was carried —yeas 32,
nays 23.
Those who voted in the negative were
Messrs. Bell, Broderick, Cameron, Crit
tenden, Chandler, Clark, Collamer, Dix
on, Doolittle, Douglas, Fessenden, Foot,
Foster, Hale, Hamlin, Hardin, King,
Seward, Simmons, Stuart, Trumbull,
Wade and Wilson—23.
Absent —Messrs. Bates, Davis Durkcc,
Reid, Sumner aud Toombs—6.
All the others voted in favor of Mr.
Green's motion.
An ineffectual attempt was made by
Mr. Douglas to take up the Minnesota
bill, after which the Senate adjourned.
house.
The House was engaged all day in a
debate on the Deficiency bill. Nothing
of interest transpired. An adjourn
ment was moved and carried before the
Senate’s action on the Kansas bill was
officially announced.
Both Houses adjourned over till Mon
day.

Colonization of Central America.
Both the North and the South have
taken steps, says the Charleston News,
to colonize Central America. The pa
pers inform us that a company of capi
talists lias been organized in the State of
New York, proposing to purchase lands
and lay out cities, towns and farms in
that country. The Legislature of Ala
bama has also chartered a company to
establish a line of steam packets be
tween Mobile ami Nicaragua, and other
ports on the Gulf of Mexico to the Car
ibean sea.
This will be eventually a race be
tween the North and the South, in the
work of colonization. As regards Cen
tral America, the South has peculiar
aptiudes, from congeniality of climate,
for colonization purposes, as the North
has in peopling the North-west Territo
ries of the United States. It is only by
this method that a political counter
poise can he maintained. The South
lias not hordes of European emigrants
to aid in extending its dominion South
ward, but it has, notwithstanding, a
large body of hold, adventurous spirits
who may enlarge the limits of the
South, and spread the benefits from
slave cultivation over an extensive
territory peculiarly fitted to receive
Southern institutions. . Central Ameri
ca, from climate, geographical position
and near neighborhood, is destined to
be united to the Southern part of the
Atlantic division of the Union and that
portion bordering on the Gulf of Mex
ico.
Prosperity or Brazil.
The accounts of the last fiscal year
show that the commerce of Brazil has
been most lucrative for her, as we find
her debt (the bonds for which are in
great demand in London) has been di
minished, and the receipts beyond ex
penses have been more than 20,000,000
of francs. The pressure in Europe and
North America has had some effect up
on her, hut not to the extent of other
nations ; for Brazil has more than sis
teen million dollars hard currency, and
only twenty millions paper, which
makes her condition in this respect bet
ter than that of Massachusetts, which
has one dollar in gold and silver to be
tween five and six of paper.

OT T It e Great Pr oblem
Solved I—DR. MORSE'S INVIGORATING COR
i?IAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whoso stomach
lias lost the power of duly converting food into a
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 and a burthen to
the sulferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
I wholesome revolution created in the system, the
| basis of activity, strength and health,
j The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
I acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
j rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
j paralysis, fborno down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
! nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
! or disability arising from the unnatural condition
| of the wonderful machinery which connects cv
| ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at ouce calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hands of
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 materia!
j which is to be subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of;
I 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-1
I sion, the individual suffering from geueral de-1
! bility or from the Weakness of a single organ j
| will all find immediate and permanent relief from j
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 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
ference to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, hut rebuild the broken con
stitution

P” A Liver Remedy.—We
i 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 in any oi
I its forms, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and nu
j merous 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 pro*
ven that diseases of the lungs arc not generally
the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated
■ sy stem, caused by the improper action of the
■ liver, which reduces the power of the lung 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 es
, throwing off diseased matter caused by cold.
i 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 cure for debilitated system than Dr.
, Sanford’s Invigorator, for it has been fully tried
I in & 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
caster Whig.
