~ AUGUSTA. G-A: ~
Thursday Evening, April 6,185 S.
De ath C. L. Bar bour.
We are deeply pained to hear, thro
the LaGrange Reporter, of the death ol
our esteemed and talented friend, G. X..
Bakbovr,Es<i. He dieel at the residence
of his father-in-law, in LaGrange, on
Wednesday morning at three o’clock,
aged about 27 years. He has been suf
fering for many years with that insidi
ous. bet fatal disease, consumption, and
resisted its inroads upon his constitu
tion, with a degree of vitality that
promised at times to secure a final tri
umph over its ravages. We know not
how to pay a fitting tribute to one with
whom, in earlier life, we spent years of'
the most intimate social intercourse,
and for whom we have cherished a
warm interest and regard. Possessed of j
rare intellectual and social qualities,
and a high ambition, his prospects for <
usefulness and success were very bright, ■
and the hopes of his friends strong and j
confident. How are they all blighted
bv the destiny that has cut him oft at |
the very threshold of a career so full of l
promise. We deeply sympathise with i
his young and accomplished wife, wid- j
owed mother and numerous friends, in '
their affliction. It will be gratifying to !
his many friends to learn that be
fore his death he attached himself to 1
Methodist Church, anu met his death .
with resignation.
Couldn't tret Religion.
A correspondent writing from Madi-:
son says; “We hope our revival times j
ate acecompanied with more charity than
they were forty years ago. Mr. Thomas ,
McCartan—then an old citizen of Mor- j
gan county—was quite a successful mer
chant at the time of which wo write. I
He was originally from Ould Ireland— j
and while attending a camp-meeting ;,
near Madison, one of his customers (a •
poor man! who had not punctually paid
him, was among the mourners, nnd ap- ;
peared in great distress: Old Me. fetch-1
ed one of his gruffest grunts, and with
great earnestness, spoke to a friend at 1
his elbow, as they were looking on the j
scene, ‘See that grand rascal —see him, . (
trying to get religion ? He can't get it; h
oh.no! 'tis impossible! he’s been ow-j<
mg me two dollars sixty-twa and a half | (
cents since 1816. No religion for him ! i
How can a man get religion if he can’t
pay his debts” ’
|tf It was rumored in Montgomery:
on Monday, says the Advertiser, that two
gentlemen of the editorial profession ;
in Perry county, Alabama, have crossed
the Chattahochee to settle a difficulty j
between them. The cause of thediffi-i
culty is not stated.

word, more strikingly illustrated, than j
in the late controversy between the I
Charleston Courier and Standard, Each j
has said some pungent things —and each j
has also been hard run at times for p. i
chance to say the last word gracefully. ;
The Courier concludes a rejoinder yes-1
terday with the refreshing promise that it
is the verghst. “ Exeunt omnes.”
Good Hits,
The Charleston Coui ier concludes some
personal reminiscences of lion. Edward
Everett, with the following play of |
mingled compliment and wit, between
Mr. Everett, and one of his most emin
ent, but now deceased cotemporaries,
the learned and illustrious Judge Sto
ut.
At some festive occasion, connected
with Commencement at old Harvard,
Judge Storv, having been called on for
a sentiment, after appropriate introduc
tory remarks, gave
■' The Hon. Edward Evert .—Fame follows
merit were Everett (ever it) goes.”
The uproarious and deafening ap
plause, called forth by this/eu d’ esprit,ha
ving subsided, Mr. Everett rose,and re
paid with usury thecomplimen tsandlau

State University.
We have received a catalogue of the
officers and students of Franklin Col-;
lege for the year 1857-'oB, from which ;
we learu that the number of matricu
lants for the year is ninety-nine. The
annual Commencement takes place on
the first Monday in August. The ne
cessary college expenses of this lnssti
tution are estimated at $l7B to $2lB.
B. H. Hill, Esq., of LaGrange, will de
liver the next oration before the Society
of Alumni.
The Catalogue is neatly printed by

The Reporter, says that Col. James A.
1 Russell, died at his residence in La
| Grange, on Monday last, from the effects
of a burn which ii* received in Atlanta,
the latter part of September last. He
was just thitty-four years of age the 3d

uo donbt, be gratified to learn that he
met death with perfect resignation.
The revival in LaGrange still contin
ues, with unabated interest. In fact
, there lias not been such an one in many
! years, if ever, in the place. The Repor
\ ter says, the Methodist Church wascrotvd
ed to its utmost capacity on Sabbath
last, and has continued crowded during
| services to the present time. There
have been between thirty and forty con
| versions, and there are constantly from
I thirty to fifty penitents at the altar.
The Religious Revival in Athens still
continues, and a spirit of deep, earnest
interest in spiritual matters, is daily in
creasing in that community. The same
jis also true of Macon, Dalton, and in
deed of almost all the towns and vil
! lages of the State.
Mr. Everett In Savannah.
The Savannah papers contain accounts
of the cordial welcome extended to this
| distinguished gentleman in that city.—
| The committee appointed by Council:
I and the Georgia Historical Society at
i tended, in carriages, on the arrival of
! the train, and after a cordial greeting,
| he was welcomed to the city by Gan. A.
! Gordon, of the Council Committee, in
a brief and complimentary address, to
which Mr. Everett replied appropriate-
jly and happily. He was then taken to:
I the residence of L. K. Tefti, Esq.,
' where he will remain during his sojourn
in the city.
The News says:
There was a large and delighted au
| dienee at the Athemeum last night, at
tracted by the fame of the great Ameri
i can orator, and anxious to hear him on
'the greatest of themes—the character j
I of Washington.
1 It is not our purpose, at this late hour,.
'to do more thau allude to this master
j piece of oratory. It was rich in glow
ring imagery—glittering with pearls of
i speech—magnificent in its conceptions,
1 and wonderful in its execution. It was
all that could have been expected from j
I its great author, and more than are dare
look for from any other living man.
Mount Vernon.
We learn from the Charleston Courier
\ that the contract for the sale of Mount
I Vernon has been concluded, and the ti
tle transferred to the incorporated:
Mount Vernon Association.
This removes the uncertainty that
has been somewhat embarrassing to the
movements of the Association, and
[should stimulate the friends of the
: movement to renewed exertion to com-!
j plete the purchase.

\Vn-sliliigton Gossip.
A correspondent of the New York|
[Express writing from Washington April!
. 2d, says :
The President, I hear this morning, i
is grievously pained and disappointed
over the result, but his courtiers tell 1
] him land courtiers are not confined to
[Kings) Lecompton will yet “be put;
. ; through. 1 ' Kings neverhear the truth,
r | I-ies alone enter palaces.
| As Kansas is now certain to be “free"
the President will try to pacify the
| South West by making' Cuba “slave.”
, | Believe ail the rumors you hear of in- j
i tents in that direction, for they are all 1
-! founded in fact. The Consul in Cuba,
. Mr. Blythe, has given notice to the De
partment, that on the Ist of May, he .
' i resigns, and wants to leave. Here is a
•; place now not worth much for anybody
,: unless one wants to be in the midst of 1
j strife.
The President intends sending Com
j missioners to Utah, before he lets in the
; dogs of war, and it is hoped, and be
j lieved, that in their peaceful attitude.
; they will be admitted to a satisfactory
[ talk upon the Salt Lake.
1 j As soon as the Army Bill t eaches the
: j President, he will accept some of the
. | Western Regiments of Volunteers al- 1
: ready now to take the field. One is
1 | ready in Kentucky to march on the mo- i
' ment.

I<ecompton Constitution.
, | The intelligent correspondent of the
; Baltimore Sun, speaking of the pros
-1 peets of Lecompton, says :
As 1 observed in my published letter
. |of Saturday, the coalition has cuimina
| ted. It cannot and will not stick to
gether. The black republicans have
made the worst record for themselves,
and the democrats need not be afraid
. to meet them on the stump. Not only
will Lecompton pass clean, but the dem
ocrats and national men who vote for it
will be able to sustain their positions
triumphantly at home.
f : Kansas will pass ; the league will be
i dispersed, and the President will be
sustained. Those who laugh last, laugh
i- [best.
i- V). e Kansas bill is now in a beautiful
j position, and will become dear to every
[national man from the very dangers
e .r w , el ) !t was beset, and the odds
and ends of all factions who oppposed
i j The democrab c Party will be puri

Serious Accident.
s We leatn from a gentleman who
J reached this city yesterday, that a se
vere accident happened to Mr. Mullins,
. the President of the Wilmington and
Manchester Raihoad, on Monday. At
“ tempting to get on the train at Florence,
s while it was in motion, he fell and
- struck his forehead heavily against the
i cars and platform, sustaining a severe
’ wound. The cars passed at a distance
, of not more than six inches from his
; head as he lay after falling. He was ta
-1 [ ken up insensible and carried into the
1 hotel, under the charge of two physi
. j ciaus, and his situation was thought to
le critical. An extra tender and en
gine were to be employed to take him
to Marion C. H. —Charleston Standard.

The lust or the Moguls.
, The old King of Delhi, the last of the
Mogul Emperors, has been condemned
’: by the British authorities to be trans
■ ported to one of the Andaman Islands,;
and be there held as a convict for the;
few remaining years of his life. His :
. complicity, as the nominal head of the
: revolt in India, the avowed purpose of
which was the restoration of the Mogul
dynasty, and his more terrible conrplici- j
tv in the massacres and tortures of the
; British woman and children in Delhi, I
would have amply justified his condem
nation to death; but it appears that
[ Captain Hodson, of the British army,
who effected his capture under very
difficult circumstances, promised to
spare his life, and the British judicial
authorities honorably respected that
promise. The Andaman Island, are sit- [
j uated in the Bay of Bengal, about half!
' way between Cape Negrais and the Nic
i obar Islands. Their total area is about
: B,ooosquare miles. They are inhabit-;
' ed by a couple thousand Malays, of the j
most savage character, and are suppos
j ed to be one of the principal resorts of
[ the pirates of the Indian Seas.
THIRTY-FIFTII CONGRESS.
Washington, April 5.
Senate engaged all day in debate on
Washington Police Bill, which finally
passed : after wliieh it adjourned.
The House concurred in the Senate’s
amendment to increase the army bv
three instead of five regiments, inclu
: ding the one destined for Texas. A bill
, was reported in reference to the Wash
ington Police, identical with that of the
i Senate. It was referred to the commit
tee of the whole, to be considered after
j the deficiency bill has been disposed of.
There is an evident disposition in tbs
i House to do something to suppress mur
; der, violence and robbery of such fre
quent occurrence.

| HITT he Great Problem
; Solved r—UP.. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
MAL.—TIio dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food iuto 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 sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, streugth and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vaguo ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
! paralysis, fborne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
j nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
I or disability arising from the unnatural condition
! of the wonderful machinery which connects ev- *
i cry member with the source of sensation, mo-
I lion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms:
i invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
I woman has ever received from the hands of
I medical men.
1 Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
-1 mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive
j powers it creates a desire for the solid materia' |
! which is to be subjected to their action. As ar. !
J appetiser it has no equal in the Fharroocopia.
i If long life and the vigor necessary to its cu-
I joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of j
I precious worth
] Its beneficial effects are not confined to either i
j sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing j
i wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
! man of business, the victim of nervous depres- *
! aion, the individual suffering from general dc-1
! bility or from the weakness of a single organ i
■ will all find immediate and permanent relief from
I the use of this incomparable renovator. To
! those who have a predisposition to paralysis it 1 ,
will prove a complete ami unfailing safe-guard ,
against that terrible m ilady. There arc many 1 ,
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 j
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove j
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- j
stitution
LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush
of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil

tf 3 A Liver Remedy.—We j
wish to say to every person who reads this that! v
there is an article known as ,Dr. Sanford's In j
viyorator , or Liver Remedy, which can be relied
on as certain to cure liver complaint in any of I
its forms, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and nu- l
merous other Complaints, described in another
column, besides which it is one of the greatest 1
preparations or cures for consumption, taken in
early stages, that is now known.
We take it for granted, as experiment has prr. s
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 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 1
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
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 rehed on.—Lan
caster Whig. ®h9
