In the afternoon the delegates, invi
ted guests and ladies were taken ou a
most delightful excursion round the
harbor, in the steamer Orisit, Capt.

1 Manfield, where we enjoyed a fine view j
of the harbor and city, both from Cooper ,
and Ashly Rivers, and from Sullivan’s {
Island, where we spent an hour most
acceptably in gathering shell, and look
ing about tbe fort. The officers and
soldiers received us most gallantly, and j
1 beguiled the time with several charm-j
1 \ ing airs from their brass band.

freshments were supplied with a gen
uine Charleston hospitality—the boat j
“ being supplied with bushels after bush

pithy addresses supplied a returning

Last evening, the delegates attended

was a very powerful one, upon “The

I arrived here last night via. the At-j
lanta & LaGrange Rail Road : spent one
day at LaGrange, which is a town of no |
inconsiderable importance; the country i
! around being fertile, and well culliva- {
ted. many of the planters plowing their
fields instead of scratching it, as many of j
our Georgia .adamites do. One thing
demands my Admiration, and that is
the custom which prevails of building
jon the tops of the hills, and leaving
; plenty of trees around to mollify the
! blasts of winter, and afford cooling j
shades in summer. It shows an eleva-j
I ted state of society, which you seldom

tance. There is talk of getting up a {

j to their lacerated sensibilities, can have j
'that satisfaction demanded by “ pistols j

West Point is a very good Cotton
market, her buyers always keeping as j.
close to the Augusta prices, as tbe dis- j,

lk-atll In a Hall Boom.
This morning, about one o'clock, a
sad affair took place at a ball given by
tbe De Sota Assembly at Saranac Hall,
at the North-east corner of Bth and
Callowhill streets. While the ball was
in progress, a young woman, named
Adeline Sewell, who was engaged in
dancing, suddenly fell upon her face
upon the floor. Her companions has
tened to raise her up, when it was found j
that she was dead! The melancholy ;
occurrence caused a deep impression |
among the persons who were present at |
the party. The body of the deceased,
attired in her hall dress, was removed
to the Fourteenth Ward Station House, i
and from there it was carried to her {
late residence, No. 1224 North 16th |
street, above Girard Avenue The de- {
ceased was tiiirty-a'x years of age. Her i
sudden death is attributed to disease of
the heart, and the sad consummation
was probably hastened by the exercise j
in which she was indulging. Mrs. Se-11
well was a sister of Sergeant Yeager, of
the 17th Ward police. : :
Coroner Fenner held an inquest in
the case to-day. It seems that the de
ceased . was dancing the “ Lancer’s h
Quadrille” at the time she fell dead.— j,
Her husband was present in the ball
: loom at the time of the melancholy
event. The ball which was the closing i
{scene of the life of Mrs. Sewell, was |
•given on her birth night. The Coron- j
:or': jury rendered a verdict that the •
j deceased died from disease of the heart, j

A Wife'* OcntU Bell Confessions.
Mordecai Paine, a saddler, doing bus
iness in North Ninth street, Philadel
phia, was called home from his work
shop on Saturday morning by a messen
ger who brought the melancholy intel
ligence that his wife, Barbara, had ta
ken arsenic for the purpose of commit
ting suicide.and was then at the point of
death. He hastened to her bedside,and
found her more in agouy of mind than
body. She declared that there was
something on her mind which she wish
ed to confess to him before her depart-
I ure, with the hope of obtaining his for
-1 giveness. Mr. Paine, with emotion,de
j sired her to go on with the disclos
! ure, adding that she might assure her
, self of his forgiveness, before she bad
made known her offences.
“ Ah, Mordecai,” said she, “ you re
, member our large white pitcher was
broken some time ago ; I pretended to
,! you that the cat broke it, hut that was
5 false for I myself did it.”
- ! “Oh, my dear,” said Mr. Paine,
j “ don’t concern yourself about such a
! trifle. I had forgotten the pitcher,
and it matters not how it was bro
ken.”
i! “ There is another matter, said Mrs.
j P., after some hesitation. “ The. six
• silver spoons which I made you believe
were stolen by the Yankee clock-men
-1 der ; I pawned them to raise money to
. pay the milliner for doing up my pinkj
satin bonnet.”
“ Never mind it, my love,” said Mr.
Paine, encourageingly. “ I hope hea
! ven will forgive you as freely as I
j do. ”
| After a short pause, Mrs. Paine began
! again : .
“ Your best razor, which you missed
j last summer, and made so much to do
| about, I swapped it away to a pedler for
! a tortoiseshell comb. . j
“ The deuce !—well, well,” said Mr.
P., recollecting himself, “that is all!
done now,and can’t he amended. Think ■
|no more of it.” . !
| “Xcould not leave the world with!
j such a thing on ray conscience,” replied j
the fair penitent.
j “Go on, go on," cried Mr, Paine ;!
| “X told you that I forgive everything
at such a time as this,” Mrs. I’., re-;
| sumed :
“ You remember our hoarder,Simeon
j Drake, who ran up a bill for six weeks, |
and then went off in a hurry without
J paying a cent. He and I had agreed to |
! elope together ; but ho changed his j
: mind at the last moment, and ran away
! from me.”
“ Fire and fury ! do you dare to tell
me this?” cried Mordecai, in great
excitement. “ But, as you are dying, I
won’t reproach you. I’ll leave you now |
to settle the affair with your own con-j
science.” I.
“ Stay and hear one thing more,” |
cried the repentant Barbara. “The;
dose I took this morning was intended j 1
for you. I put it into your cup of coffee j
in my liuriy to get the thing done, I
gave you the wrong cup and took the
right one myself.”
“The devil fly away with you, you;
jade!” roared Mordecai, as he flung j
himself out of the room. In the entry
he met the apothecary who had sold |
Mrs. P. the fatal powder. Thismedlcal
man had heard of the commotion at ;
Paine's house, and suspecting the cause;
of it, he came to administer hope and J
comfort to the afflicted.
“ Don’t he alarmed, Mr. Paine,” saidj
he, “ the drug I sold to your wife ivasj
nothing but magnesia. I judged that
she wished to destroy herself, and I
tricked her in this way to save her!
life.”
“You swindling rascal,” shouted j
Paine, “how dare you cheat a custo
mer in that shameful manner, and ob
tain her money on false pretences ?
Begone!"
And with this exclamation, he vio
lently ejected the astonished apothecary
from his front door. The man of phys
ic, suspecting, of course, that the poor
Mordecai was deranged, sent two offi
cers to provide for his safe keeping.—
His relation of the preceding dialogue,
however, soon obtained Ills discharge.

If” Make Your State Tax
Returns.—For the purpose of receiving said
returns for the county of Richmond, and in ac
cordance with the law on the subject, 1 will at
tend from 10 A-M.to2P. M. at the following
places at tho times stated :
At the Fodder and Hay §cale, in the Ist Ward,
on Tuesdays, the oth ;i»:l 27th days of April. (

I shall endeavor to call upon the business men j
on Broad street and vicinity, and -hall expect
their returns promptly.
Several persons have been under the impres- j
sion that by registering in the city they were j
relieved from State tax upon their polls. Such j
is not the case. All persons citizens of the j
United States, between the ages es twenty-one j
and .sixty who reside here are at least subject
to poll tax, and all persons are required by !n\v |
to come forward and give in. By so doing, vuu |
will save yourselves from being returned as de
faulter and double-taxed, and me from the dis
agreeable duty of having to do it.

(ITOxygenated Bitters.—
i The annexed statement of Prof. A. A. Hayes, M.
! D.. State Assayer, is amplo testimony of the
| scientific nianuer in which this medicine is com
> pounded, and recommends it to professional j
! men : , , - .
An opinion having been asxed for of me, in i
1 consequence ol the formula for preparing Gxy
| genaied Bitten being known to me, I express
the following in form :
The composition of these Bitters includes those
medicinal substances which experienced pbysi- -
ciaus have long resorted to for special action on _
I the system, when deranged by Fevers, Dys- <:
pepsia, Agues and General Debility, resulting
' from exposure or climate inlluence.
These are rendered permanent, and remain
: [ active in this preparation, as a con sequence of
! scientific manner in which they are combined.
It was a well founded inference that the pre- ,
paration used in smaller or larger doses, would
prove a valuable Geuer.al Medicine, which ex- j
perience has demonstrated.
! 1 In this medicine no metallic salts can he found
