Stating ilispatcl). ~ 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.

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. Determined to have the l*a%t Word. We have never seen that dogged per sistence—that intense hang-on-ati veness —which induces men, and more especi ally loquacious women, to have the last. 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.

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.

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.

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 inst. The friends of Col. Russell will, 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.

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.

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 fied. £ 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 Merchant Princess of Boston.— ■ The following illustrates the ficleness of - fortune : The failure of one mercantile s | firm in Boston last fall threw five dwell ing-houses into the market, valued at ’ $40,000 each. The residence of Hon.S.A. Elliot. Beacon street, has been sold to 1 Mr. J. E. Lodge for 850,000: Mr. Ed . mund Dwight lias disposed of his house j on the same street to E. J. H.

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.

Yellow Fiver.—Letters from La Plata and Rio Janeiro via England re port the yellow fever raging severely : among the ship's crews. An English 1 vessel of war after suffering dreadfully was evacuated by the thirty men who; were spared. Several other ships of all ■! nations were evacuated. Taking it Back.—The action of the ; 'i Liberian Government in opposition to the new scheme of African emigration, .! has so incensed the French Government: . as to cause a redaction of the sloop of war tendered by the latter as a gift, al . though an agent had been sent to France 1 to receive it. — The English Admiral has discovered ; that Canton is situated on an island; onej 1 of the gunboats lias just made a passage ! around it.

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 ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de struction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys- j pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous-! ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to l’e- j males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotenev, constipation, etc., from whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute j ly infallible.

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 s(tto SECOND 'GRAND CONCERT BY Mrs, Annie Thomas SholL, AND CA R L VIEWER, AT MASONIC HALL, ON THURSDAY EVENING, April Ntil *” *-«»£•*-=» ■»» ■«.»«» = PART I. 1.
