Whose fault Is 111
The Post master at Monroe, Ga. com
plains at the non reception of our pa
per at his office by clue course of mail.
He says the Weekly Dispatch has not
reached that office on Saturday for some
weeks, and he requests us to look into
the matter, &c.
The Weekly Dispatch is always mailed
on Friday in good season for the mail
train on the Georgia Railroad, and on
all other roads ; and if it fails the fault
is not ours. But really there is neglig
ence somewhere—of which we have
reason to complain, and if a reform is
not forthcoming, we shall be under the
necessity of instituting an investigation
that may not be agreeable to the de
Another Sensation —Bleeding Cuba.
Now that bleeding Kansas has been
weltering in sectional gore, and defeat
ed by the blood-suckers of abolition,
until any hope of deriving advantage
from it to the South, is as salacious as
an effort to extract blood from a turnip,
another card has been turned up in a
tropical direction, which promises to
afford a game no less exciting than the
Kansas imbroglio. Let us hope that it
will contain less loosing “tricks" for
the South.
The steamer America brings the start
ling announcement that the Spanish
government has presented a project for
the abolition of “slavery” in all her
colonies. This only confirms the long
repeated boast of this decaying and
haughty nation, that Cuba should be ei
ther .Spanish or African. Fearing to
rest its fate on the tottering fortunes of
her home government, she has, no
doubt, entered into an understanding
with some of the leading powers of Eu
rope, who will be very willing to see
.he island blasted by the mildew- of Af
icanization, since they cannot control
ts destinies directly, or reap any partic
ular advantage from its present condi- 1
lion.
For our part, we care not if this es- ]
fort at Africanizing Cuba is begun—be
mse it will, at once, demand a course j
„f action, distinct and summary, on the (
>art of the United States. Mr. Buck- (
,van, in hisOstend letter, for which he
as been much and most unjustly
bused, laid down the position that “we
hould be recreant to our duty, be un- ,
vorthy of our gallant forefathers, and i
immit base treason against our poster
ty, should we permit Cuba to be Afri- i
anized and become a second St. Domin
go, with all its attendant horrors to her '
white race, and suffer the flames to ex- 1
■ml to our neighboring shores, serious
y to endanger or actually to consume *
t he fair fabric of our Union.” 1
This gloomy prospect is before us, '
ud we cannot doubt that Mr. Buchan- 1
\N will be very prompt to resist any '
:ch dangerous propagandism at our
very doors, and if he, with the ener- 8
des of the whole government, does not
■romptly carry out the policy foresha
owed in the Ostend Manifesto, there
.ill be one grand arousement all over
he South, and with or without the co
■perationof the feeble and time-serving 1
g
iwers at Washington, the “flames”
will be put out, and the Queen of the
Votilles will be the fairest gem that
’.nds the galaxy of the Southern con- |
foliation. We shall see what we shall <

White Wash.
We shall charge nothing for the fol
* lowing useful receipt. There are many
out houses and fences about the city and
vicinity that would be vastly improved
by a coat of white wash well put on.—
- The trouble and expense are but tri
fling :
“ “Take a barrel and slack a bushel of
fresh burned lime in it, by covering the
L lime with boiling water. After it is
t slacked, add cold water enough to make
it the consistency of good white wash.
“ Then dissolve in water and add one
> pound of white vitriol (sulphate of
zinc) and one quart of fine salt. To
I give the white wash a cream color, add
one half pound of yellow ochre, in pow-
I der. To give a fawn color, add one
i fourth of a pound of Indian red. To
make a handsome gray stone color, add
one half pound of French Blue, and
one fourth pound of Indian red A drab
■ will be made by adding one half pound
.of burnt senna, and one fourth pound
of Venetian red. For brick or stone '
instead of one bushel of lime, use a
half bushel of lime and a half bushel ;
of hydraulic cement."

Stock anil Tilings In Texas.
Our Georgia planters who have re- :
cently paid $l5O and S2OO apiece for 1
Tennessee mules, and people generally
who have paid as much for ordinary
horscs, will feel slightly envious of
the advantages enjoyed by our Texan j
neighbors, after reading the following
statement from the Goliad Express of 1
the 13th March:
Several fine droves of horses have ar
rived from Mexico, meeting no acci
dents, and the spring trade has opened
briskly; about six hundred changed
hands at from $lO to $25. Os riding
ponies we notice an unusual number,
and very fine ones, at from $35 to SIOO.
No sales of mules, but several fine
droves have arrived, held at $45 to SSO.

Tlie Pistol.
An Irishman, driven to desperation
by the stringency of the money market
and the high price of provisions, pro
cured a pistol and took the road.
Sleeting a traveller, he stopped him
with—” Your money or your life!”
Seeing that Pat was green, he said :
“ I’ll tell you what I’ll do—l’ll give
you all my money for that pistol.”
“Agreed.”
Pat received the money, and handed
over the pistol.
“Now,” said the traveller, “hand
back that money, or I’ll blow your
brains out.”
“ Blizzard away, then me hearty!”
said Pat, “divil a bit of powder there’s
in it!”
A Lost Captain Pound.
The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal states that some three
years ago, the report reached New York
that the ship Helena was lost. Her com
mander, Capt. Thompson, had with
him his son, and left in New York his
wife and several children. His cargo
was a load of coolies; and it was be
lieved that the cargo had risen and mur
dered the crew. The insurance office
paid the policy, and an administrator
was appointed for the estate. But Mrs.
Thompson has had unwavering faith
that her husband and son were alive,
and would both return. This week a
vessel arrived at this port and states
that they passed and hailed a vessel
bound for China, which had on board
Capt. Thompson and crew of the Helena.
The news has been hailed with joy, and
public thanksgiving was given last Sab
! bath in the Mariners’ Church.

Death of Thomas Hut Benton.
This aged politician and statesman,
for thirty years. Senator from the State
of Missouri, and afterwards, for a term,
her Representative in the popular branch
of Congress, lias at length met the com
mon doom of men, and gone to that un
discovered country, from whose bourne
no traveller returns. He was born, in
the State of North Carolina, in the
year 1783, and died on Saturday morn
ing last, at ’Washington, the days of
the years of his pilgrimage on earth ha
ving exceeded three score years and ten
and reached threjequarters of a century.
A student of Chapel Hill College, some
untoward event, or discreditable circum
stance, compelled him to leave that in
stitution before graduation ; and he im
mediately commenced the study of law
in William and Mary College, Virginia
under the celebrated St. George Tucker.
In the year 1810, he bore a commission
in the United States Army ; and, in
1811, he commenced the practice of the
law, at Nashville, Tennessee. Soon,
however, he emigrated to Missouri, and
entered on the vocation of an editor.—
In 1820, having fully retrieved liis
youthful indiscretion, he was elected a
United States Senator from Missouri,
and, on the admission of that State
into the Union, August 10, 1821, he
stood “ aSenator in the Senate House”; \
and was continuously, until the session
of 1851, when he failed of re-election ;
but soon emerged again from private
life, as a member of the United States
House of Representatives, from hisi
adopted State, and, after a single term, 1
in that body, he was defeated in a can->
vass for re-election, and again went in
to private station.— Charleston Courier.
A Romance of Real Life.
Hie following singular story is given
in the Courrier de Lyons :
“In 1750, a common sailor, named
Bonnay, left France for Madagascar.—
After many adventures, he rose to the
rank of governor of that island, where
he died in 1804, leaving a portion of
thirty-two millions of francs (about a
million and a quarter sterling,) in the
hand of a French East India Company.
Bonnay had three sons in France wlio!
claimed this amount from the Company, j
but they failed to discover the certificate j
of their father's birth, and were conse
quently unsuccessful in their claim; and |
they possessed no funds wherewith toj
prosecute a lawsuit. Since that time!
above 600 families of the same name
have laid claim to the inheritance, with- 1
out success. It appears that a lady, a i
friend of one of the descendants of' the
three sons above mentioned, determin-j
ed to prosecute fresh inquiries into the)
matter. She succeeded, with some dis- !
ficulty, in obtaining a view of the regis-1
ter of births’for the year, 714 of the!
town of Chuyer, the birthplace of old I
Bonnay. In vain, however, did she 1
search in it for the certificate of his
| birth, when, as she was about to close
| the book in despair, her fingers touched
a page which seemed thicker than the
others. On looking closer, she discov
ered that this page had, cither by chance
or intentionally, been stuck to another.
On separating the two, she found the
desired certificate in perfect preserva- i
tion. The lawful heir is at the present
moment one of the 1 claque ’ of a Lyons 1
theatre.”
Whisky Root,
Home time ago, I wrote you that
there was such a tiling in this country
as a “whisky root ;” you disbeliev
ed. I now take my revenge by
sending you a speciman. It iswhat the
Indians call “ Hic-o-ke.” It grows in I
Southern Texas, on the range of the
sand hills bordering on the Ilio Grande,
and in gravel, sandy soil. The Indians
eat it for its exhilirating effect on the
sy stem, producing precisely the same ef
fects as alcoholic drinks. It issliced, as!
you would a cucumber, and these small
pieces chewed, and in about the time as
comfoitably tight cock-tails would “stir
the divinity” within yon, this indicates
itself ; only its effects are what I might
term a little k-a-v-o-r-t-i-n-g, giving
rather a wilderscope to the imagination
and actions. It can be sliced and dried. (
and in this way the Indians preserve it,
then parch and serve it up as coffee or
tea. It is evidently of cactus spieces : i
and it resembles that more than any (
other plant. I have never seen this .
particular root mentioned in any work,
and believe these—and specimens I
sent to the editor of the Southern Culti
vator—to be the only specimens sent
from the State. I wish you would have I -
these analized, and publish the result. — ;

|jsj O x ; g<■ uated Bitters.—
The annexed statement of Prof. A. A. Hayes, M.
I)., State Assaycr, is ample testimony of the
scientific manner in which this medicine is com
pounded, aud recommends it to professional
men :
An opinion having been asked for of me, in ;
consequence of the formula for preparing Oxy
genated Bitters being known to me, I express
the following iu form :
1 The composition of these Bitters includes those
j medicinal 6ubstauces which experienced physi
j cians have long resorted to for special action on
the system, when deranged by Fevers, Dys
pepsia, Agues and General Debility, resulting
from exposure or climate influence.
These are rendered permanent, and remain
I activo in this preparation, as a con. '-qucnceof
1 the scientific manner in which they are combined
It was a well founded inference that the pre
paration used in smallor or larger dosos, would
. prove a valuable General Medicine, which ex
perience has demonstrated.
s In this medicine no metallic salts can bo found
by the most delicate choinical trials.
Respectfully, A. A. HAYES, M. D.,
Asaayer to the S ate ol M issaebusetts.
