The Opera Last
On Tuesday evening the celebrated
New Orleans English Opera Troupe, who
have been so successful in all the prin
cipal cities of the Union, made their ap
pearance among us in Rossini’s greatest
of all comic Operas, “ The Barber 0} Se
rild. and fully sustained" their well
earned reputation as vocalists. Miss
Durand's Rosinn, was exquisite, and in
the cavatina “Tyrant soon’’ (una voce),
she displayed’ a pure soprano of great
compass and brilliancy, and finished ex
ecution. Miss Hodson, as the Count,
was excellent. She possessesa veryrich
and deep contralto, which almost ap
proaches the tenor register. Mr. Lystek
as Figaro, and Wharton, as liartolo, dis
played a thorough knowledge of then
art, and sound vocalization. The ensem
ble was far superior to what English Op
era companies generally give us ;as they
are usually composed of one singer and a
crowd of muffs, whereas this company
aims to be perfect in all its parts, and
we must say with great success.

We fintl on examining the Acts of
the Georgia Legislature, tiiat the orig.
inalAct authorizing the establishment
of Fire Companies “ in the City of Sa
vannah and Town of Augusta” was pas
sed, Dec. 29, 1794. This Act was amend
ed at various times, until finding it in
adequate to preserve the harmony,good
order, and efticiency of the company, a
charter was obtained, Dec. 29, 1845.
The names of Ws. M. Eight, F. Lam
rack, W. 11. Goodrich anti Theodore
Bridges, appearing among the corpora
tors.
We have frequently alluded to the
invaluable services rendered by the fire
men, when fire has ravaged the proper
ty of our citizens, and we have thought
it no more thansheerjustice to present to
the public inspection the names of those
who have signified their readiness to re
spond to the tap of the fire bell by uni
ting with the different companies; many
of whom have so often distinguished
themselves by hazarding even their lives
for the good of the city. In some cities
firemen are paid for their services ; in
some too, they are composed of the
more abondoned and reckless popula
tion, certainly entitled to little more
than the limited respect extended them.
In Augusta, while the only remunera
tion they receive is exemption from ju
ry duty, we only do them simple justice
;when we say that they are composed
of the most respectable of our fellow
citizens; and enjoy both as men and
firemen a high degree of respect from
the whole community. A sufficient ev
idence of this is the appearance among
them as members or officers of many of
the most prominent business men and
citizens.
The list we present to-day docs not
include the names of the Independent
Fire Company, which werepublished by
ns some months ago, and which com
prise an impoitant arm of the Fire
Department of the city. We have been
at some pains to get the names correct,
and hope there are no important mis
takes.

Concert Hull—Barber of Seville.
The English Opera Troupe, which
came heralded to us from other cities by I
high praises, made a pleasing impres-i
sion on an appreciative auditory, on
Tuesday night, in “The Barber of Se
ville.” This Opera, though not ranking
high for its music among connoisseurs, is
everywhere a favorite with the public
on account of its rich comic vein, and
its fine dramatic points. It affords, too,
some good tests of musical proficiency,
in which the performers, on Tuesday
night, appeared to advantage. Miss
Hodson, as Count Almaviva, and Miss
Durand, as Rosina, won many plaudits.
They proved themselves Artistes, and
have already given assurance of their
capacity to sustain themselves in the
highest flights of Operatic music.
IJ will not make indidious compari
sons, or offer a detailed criticism
on tlie style of these ladies. My
object is simply to express my own grat
ification, and to wish for them crowded!
houses and showers of boquets. I will
add that in acting, not less than in their
vocalization, they made their respective
parts effective. It is not always dra
matic talent and musical accomplisment i
are so happily combined.
Dr. Bartolo was well personated by;
Mr. Wharton, both as actor and vocal- :
ist.
The great and decided success of the
evening was by Mr. F. Lyster, as Figaro.;
He certainly rendered the jolly, comic,!l
musical and amiable barber, in adraira-!
ble style. His voice is rich, sonorous,',
musical, and its management correct
and tasteful. Mr. Lyster was fully up,:
to all the requirements of the occasion. ;
There is musical talent and cultiva-, ]
tion enough in this troupe to make their ,
short operatic visit here successful.—- <
Shall it be so ? They offer a pleasing,;,
refined and elevated entertainment. It j
is well worthy the patronage of even |
the most fastidious lovers of music.— s
Let the beauty, and fashion, and the ]
musicalcultivation of our city grace Con- j ,
cert Hall with their presence and prove, <
that we can appreciate here something 1 ,
higher than "the hone opera” and ne-jj
gro minstrels. Clio. J ]

In the year 1854, when about to start
on the desperate mission which led to
his arrest at Hermannstadt, and confine
ment in the citadel of Mantua, Orsini
intrusted the education of his daughters
to his brother and to the former address
ed the following letter. His frame of
mind at the time is thusdepicitcd in his
memoirs. He says :
Before leaving for Italy I was again
overcome with melancholy. I was sick
of every thing ; a sad presentiment told
me that I should see my children, my
uncle, my brother no more. I wrote to
the two latter that I was going into
Asia, so tiiat they should have no sus*
i picion timt 1 was engaged iit anew con
spiracy. I sent the letters open to Mr.
Colombo, of Nice, to forward tliern.-
They were dated from Geneva, so that
the police, if they opened the letters,
should not know where I was.
To Emestina ami Ida Orsini.
Switzerland, Sept 28, 1854.
My Dear Daughters: —These few lines,
together with two little hearts, which
contain two locks of my hair, will be
j consigned to you when I am alive no
; longer; you will also receive a portrait
J greatly resembling me, and I have left
i the necessary instructions with my bro-
I ther Leonidas, so that you have it, and
i keep it in memory of your poor fa
ther.
I left von in your tender age ; you
| were very little, and the last time
i that ever I saw you was in the prison at
Nice. I was driven from Piedmont- be
cause I had conspired against the for
\ cigncrs who occupy my country.
The vicissitudes of Italy do not per
mit me to watch over your education
i myself, and I have not the sweet plea
sure to caress you in your most beauti
. ful period of youth.
In the lines which I have written to
my brother Leonidas and my uncle, I
have explained that I leave everything
to you. I have begged them to transfer
to you two everything which they
might have intended to do to my ad
; vantage. I have recommended you
< more than myself, because I am anxious
that they should love you, and take the
! greatest care in your education. Igo
jto far eff lands embittered by every
| thing. I carry with me two thoughts
; —of you two dear children, and that of
my dear country ; and I trust that my i
i occupations, my sacrifices, may be use-;
ful to both. If I die soon, it will not
be ray fault that I have not executed -
these two objects; it will bo that of
j death.
Before concluding I must give you 1
some advice, which you will retain, my
; dear children, as a parental memorial,
and which may be a valuable guide to
| you throughout your lives; at least, 1
| hope and wish so First, believe in
‘ God ! I have a firm confidence of His
i existence. Second, possess unalterable '■
principles of honor. Mark I I do not j
mean malleable and material principles; I
no, but those which are universally re-!
cognized as such by all people and" na
tions, which do not alter with the j
changes of time, of country, of gov
ernments ; 1 mean those principles I
which are eternal truths, absolute, im- ’
mutable, not pending on any one’s ca- ■
price.
Pay attention to this. Everybody con-:
| siders himself honorable : but tiiis is •
| not always seen in ids acts, but instead I
|of it we find deceit, hypocrisy, equivo- j
cation, and cunning words to injure j
■ others. That is what the greater part
| of men do, who regard the principles of j
: honor as a piece of India rubber. When
the true principles of honor have taken j
; root in you, as I have explained, and
j that they are considered by you as the j
basis of public and private morality, :
you must necessarily be lovers of your j
country, honest, affectionate, towards
your parents, pure in your youth, pure
and faithful to your husbands to whom
you may be married, in fine, loving to
wards your children, and adorned with
the finest qualities which can be desired
in women destined by God and nature
to embelish the life of man and to ren
der bis existence less miserable.
Gain as much instruction as you can,
and inform yourselves well as to what!
belongs to the familiar or domestic life, j
and recollect that the greater part of the)
crimes and errors of men proceed from j
ignorance, that enemy to civilization,:
progress, honor, and the liberty of na
tions. Remember, that as soon as you
can use your intellectual faculties the
world will seem a paradise to you ;
everything will smile on you; it will
seem like a beautiful Spring, full of
sweet-smelling and beautiful flowers, a
| Spring which promises everything love-1
! ly and dear that the imagination can ;
! conceive. All that is lovely' will smile j
j upon you, and your hearts will expand |
| with sweet hopes and affections towards
| whatever fascinates you towards the
j ideal-beauty, goodness and love, which. ;
alas, in reality do not exist.
My dear children, do not believe in -
or he dazzled by the appearance which ;
this world will at first present to you j
Be careful. It is but the appearnce, the ■
external surface which facinates, and if
you are dazzled by its withcraft, disap
pointment must come—and then—and
then—you will find an immense void ;
a void which you would never have ex- j
perienced if you had looked upon the j
world as it is ; a void that will show
you but too plainly that the world is j
full of rottenness, deceit and ingrati
tude ; tiiat we must not here seek the
summit of felicity ; but a tempered con
tentment.
You will fall into despair—into tears j
you will wish to retrace your steps,
. but you are too late. Give ear to these
words which your fathercomposes with
tears In his eyes. 1 hope you may never
suffer the lightest of the misfortunes ex
: perienced by me. tiie least of the disap
pointments in friendship. If you mar
ry, he careful how you make your se
lection ; let him be honest, honorable, 1
a lover of bis country; let his heart he j
large, and let him be capable of true
friendship, and be careful to return it |
on you part with conduct equally noble j
and affection equally pure. Be faithful
to the husband you select for your life
companion ; let the very thought of in
fidelity strike you with horror ? destroy j -
yourself rather than fall into that fault:
an error like that nothing can ever rem-,
edy ; the pardon which might be con- i
ceded does not remedy the evil; in you j i
remains an eternal stain, in the hus-|i
band an eternal rancor—an eternal re- i
mombrance of your guilt, of your dis- i
honesty ; remember that such an action (
on the wife’s part poisons the husband’s
existence, if he has a heart or a fueling -
of honor ; that it extinguishes domestic
peace foraver ; that it destroys domestic
tranquility, that it causes the love and 1
sweetness which should exist between 1
husband and wife to cease, cools and : i
abates the love of the parent for his c
child; that it in fact casts dishonor up j i
on the husband, upon you, upon all the j
family. Take care of yourselves, and
keep this asa general maxim, that the /
greater part of men are bail and wicked;
and, lastly, in leisure moments cultivate
• y o »r minds with pleasing and moral
; reading, which will leave the effect of
1 guiding your minds only towards good,
and nourishing you with the fruit of
‘ wisdom. Dol weary you with this long
letter ? Pardon me ! I must have written
5 to you even if I had not wished. These
lines have been the first and may be
1 the last I shall ever address to you, and,
j us you perceive, they are written by
| the hand of your unhappy father.
May you have a serene and long life!
' Take a thousand and a thousand kisses
’ from your father, who carries with him
the pain of not being able to embrace
and see you. impeded by the infamy of
men. Receive the paternal benediction
of your FeliciOesixi.
Farewell, farewell, farewell from my 1
’ | heart.

From California.
Ttie San Francisco papers, brought
1 by the Isabel, contain the following
■ News as late as the 20th ult., which]
t ; may be of interest to our readers :
‘ We have had some wet weather, ;
■ which came very acceptably, especially
1: to farmers. In "the Northern counties,
• a savere storm took place early in the
! month, doing considerable damage to !
i! bridges and flumes. The State Lcgisla- j
1 : ture is still in session, but has not dis- l
[ tiuguished itself for either ability or in
dustrv. 'lhe Kansas resolutions, en- i
■ dorsingtbe course of the administration
which we informed our readers in our
■ last steamer issue had passed the As
-1 sembly by a large majority, have also
■ been adopted in the Senate by a vote of j
• 20 ayesto 15 noes. It is claimed that
these resolutions do uot express the real j
’ sentiments of the California Democracy,
who are said to he overwhelmingly in :.
: favor of sustaining the course of Sena-!!
'; tors Douglas and Broderick.
And to make this manifest, meetings 1
have been held at both Orovill and ,
1 Marysville, which passed strong resolu- !
1 tions in denunciation of the legislative i
endorsement of the President and de- ;
1 ) daring that the Democracy of this j
State occupies different ground. If the ,
; mail, now long overdue, does not bring ~
us news that will put a new phase upon
’this Kansas dispute, similar meetings 1
i will doubtless be held in other parts of
the State.
On the 13th of March last there was
jin the treasury of this State, in cash, j
■ $371,730,53. There will he little left ‘
: when the Legislature adjourns.
A chunk of gold was recenly found
at Althouse Creek, near Crescent City,
Del Norte county, weighing seventy
threeounces, and valued at about SI, 300. 1
C ry.—Considerable excitement has '
| been caused in this city by some legal
!proceedings in regard to the negro
I “Archy,” claimed as a slave by C. A.
Stovall, and surrendered by the Supreme 1
Court to his o\vn;r several weeks ago. I
Stovall started with the negro for New
i Orleans, on the steamer Orizaba, on the
! sth March. Before the steamer had :
■ cleared the heads, hoy,'ever, an officer 1
, with a writ of habeas corpus, took Archy .
; in custody, and brought him back to,
j this city, Stovall was also arrested on
| a charge of kidnapping and brought;
j back. This latter charge, having no;
I foundation, was dismissed next day by
: Police Judge Coon.
! The habeas corpus for Archy was
made returnable before Judge Freelon,
' jof the Court of Sessions, and after seve-1
ral continuances, it was finally heard on i!
j the 17th iust. Judge Freelon ordered r
i the negro to he set at liberty ; but be- j
j fore he left the court room, lie was re- j
i arrested by the U. S. Marshal, by vir
| tue of a writ issued under the Fugitive j
' Slave Law. This caused great excite- j
ment among the colored population of
| the city, and some of them talked loud !
| about rescuing Archy from the officers. '
j Little more than talking was done, how- j
ever, though for a short time a serious j
; riot was threatened. Archy was ear- j
ried before the C. S. Commissioner, Geo. I
j Penn Johnson, who is expected to give
a decision in time to permit Stovall to
take him off by the present steamer, in j
I case it is held that the boy is a fugitive
I slave under the act of 1850.
I The French brig of war, Aicibiade,
jDe Marginy, commauder, arrived at

Mysterious Attempt at Assassination.
The Washington Star says that as the
| Rev. Mr. Eleazer Williams, who is
| claimed to be the son of Louis XVI, and
now rightful heir to the throne of
i France, was sitting at his lodings, No.
1 474 Pennsylvania avenue, arranging
j some papers between the hours of 12
\ and 1 o’clock, Thursday night, he was
j startled by a man suddenly entering his j
\ room anil advancing towards him with i
jan uplifted dagger, who exclaimed
through his-teeth, “I’ve got you at;
j last, have I?” Mr. Williams cried out, j
{“assassin! assassin! save me from the
assassin and although a man seven
ty-eight years of age, but nevertheless!
vigorous and strong, he grasped the up- i
lifted arm of the villain with the energy j
|of a man determined to defend his life I
to the last extremity, and continued to '
alarm the house by cries of, “ assassin ! !
j assassin!” The contest was desperate
btit short, the villain finding that he
could not accomplish his hellish pur
pose and the house was becorning alarm
ed, with a vigorous effort extricated
| himself from the grasp of his intended
victim, suddenly left the room, and fled
the house. The cries of Mr. Williams
! and the noise of the contest alarmed I
! the whole house, but not in time to
capture the villain. When the inmate |
entered tiie room of Mr. Willaims they j
found him lying upon the floor totally
j exhausted, and the dagger of the assas-:
sin near him upon the floor.
Interview between Cot. Benton ami
the President.
j The Union says that the interview he-!
tween the President and Hon. Thomas
H Benton on Friday night, was protrac-:
ted, and the latter afterward expressed
! exceeding gratification at the visit. Mr.
| Benton spoke with extreme solicitude j
I for the condition of public affairs, and
expressed his painful sense of the im
minent dangers that threatened the j
' country. He exhorted the President to !

gTTlie Great Problem
Solved !—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
BIAL.—The dyspefitic patient, whoso stomach
lias lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining clement, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
lluid re acquires its solvent pow'er, 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 Id the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuraltria, Tic-doloreux
j or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
-1 rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, { borne down and dispirited by that
i terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
j 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 sensatiou, mo- i
j tion and thought—derives immediate benefit J
\ from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, i
1 1 invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
| organization.
I Females who have tried it are unanimous in
i declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
j woman has ever received from the lords of
I medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate aud astonishing effect upou the appetite.
While it renews the strength of tho digestive j
powers it creates a desire for tho solid materia! I
! which is to be subjected to their action. As an
j appetiser it has no equal in tho Pharmaoopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en-j
joyment are desirable, this modicino is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either j
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing ’
I wife, the listless, enervated youth, tl. j overworn ;
( man of busiuess, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general do-;
bility or from the weakness of a single organ 1
I will all find immediate and permanent relief from
j the use of this incomparable renovator. To,
i those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
I 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-;
I tion that they think themselves beyond the reach j
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re*.
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove j
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- j
stitution

Or. Sanford’s Liver In
vlgorator is tho name of a medicine invalu
able to invalids or those troubled with Liver
Complaint, Jaundice or General Debility, with
derangement of the system or loss of appetite.
It has one peculiarity, not common to most
medicines, that is, the Doctor only recommends
it for the cure of Liver Complaint, or such dis
eases as arise from a disordered Liver, and how
well it bears the recommendations given is
known to all who use it. We never have known .
a medicine of any kind to perform such a-tonish
ing cures as has been by the INVIGORATOR. It*
seems to strengthen and invigorate the whole!
body, increasing the vital energy, and giving a j
flow of health to many whose ills were consid-1
ered incurable. We can recommend it know-.
iugly as a family medicine, lor it has been our
best friend in many an hour of sickness. We
wish all to try this remedy and satisfy them
selves . York Gazette.
