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.

Rev. Charles H. Reid, D. D., f Richmond, Virginia, was elected 1 loderator. On the second day of the ' ission, a declaration of principles was s ported, for the purpose of showing i re position the Synod proposed to oc ipy. It declares against any agitation f the question of slavery. Lynchburg, 1 a., was chosen as the place, and the • did Thursday of May, 1859, for hold- j ig the next convention.

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.

Georgia Items. An exchange says : ‘ Allen's Dramatic Corpse,” common ced a series of theatrical representations in Columbus last night. That’s the way to spell it—if it isnt, it ought to be. “Shakspeare,” a well-known omni bus driver at the Pulaski House in Sa vannah , died on yesterday in that city. John Makin, suspected of the murder of Wii. Robbins, in Savannah, was on yesterday examined at his own request, before justices Felt, Russell and Sta ley, and proving an alibi, was dis charged. The Savannah News, of yesterday gays that Mr. Charles B. Patterson, a well known citizen of Savannah, died about 11 o’clock last Saturday night, quite suddenly. He was apparently as well as usual at tea time, and for seve, ral hours after. Between 10 and 11 o’clock he complained of a headache, and in a few moments expired. 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. SeiTilom 111 Russia.

The total number of present serfs of the nobility amounts - to 11,750,000, and those of the Crown .. to 9,000,000. There are, therefore, 20,- (50,000 persons anxiously waiting for an improvement in their condition. >■ _ Later from Rio.—Advices from Rio Janeiro, dated the 26th of February re a port the flour market as much changed l- with six thousand nine hundred and ninety-live barrels on hand.

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. — ; [Texas Correspondence of the New Orleans i Picayune. From Honduras. The New York Herald has a few days| later news from Belize. A letter to that paper dated, Belize, March 11, The all engrossing topic here is the i movements of the Indians in Yucatan. I sent you, via New Orleans, the first j accounts which readied us of their ta king the town of Bacalar, near the Rio : Hondo. At that time it was reported , that they had murdered all of its inhab-: Rants, including the woman and chil-; 1 dren. Most horrid stories were repor-, ted, but I am happy to say that they are not true; and instead of hundreds and thousands of the inhabitants having : been butchered and cut to pieces, it is now pretty clearly ascertained that the ( number missing is not over fifty. — Passes <o Slaves.
