To-night is positively the last of the season in this city, and all who miss seeing and hearing the English Opera Company, will loose an entertainment of great merit. Those who have at tended their representations will need no urging, to induce them to attend to night, on the occasion of Miss Honsox’s benefit. Catholic Fair. We tahe pleasure in calling the atten tion of our citizens, to the notice of this entertainment which will he found in another column. The object is praiseworthy, and we trust this effort of the Ladies of our city to raise the means to help complete the Church edifice, now in course of erec tion on Telfair Street, which promises to he an ornament to our city, will meet with the liberal patronage which it de serves. Liberal arrangements have been made to render the entertainment attractive. Rose* Cottage.

WWe call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the “American Hotel,” Hamburg, S. C. — ? Montgomery Guards. This new and elegant company, with ■ the Honorary members and invited i guests, participated in-a target oxcur sion on yesterday, the first, we trust, of ; a long series, which this company and 1 its friends may enjoy. j The day was delightful, and nothing ( occurred to mar the uninterrupted stream of good feeling which prevailed. The after dinner speeches were unu sually good, and we were pleased to see this improvement, as it betokens pro ■ gvess in the right direction. The first regular toast was : 1. The City Council of Augusta: -The safe guardians of the rights and honor of an intelligent and enlightened constitu ency. This was responded to by Dr. Sleiigs in a feeling manner, the Doctor being all right on the great questions of the day. 2 The Augusta Batahon .-—Those cm- 1 incut virtues which characterize their 1 social intercourse is an earnest of the ! courage and prowess which would dis- , tinguish them upon the field of battle. Lieut. Wheeler was called upon to Teply to this sentiment, which he did in . his usual earnest and eloquent manner, : insisting that the ballot box, jury box c and the cartridge box, were the boxes ; j in which our liberty must he preserved. : 3. The Tress:- A blessing to freemen ] —a terror to tyrants. In reply to this, our reporter was call ed upon He could see no reason why he should be the one to respond for the ! j Press, unless, perhaps, it might be be- j, cause in the presence of the youngest ] company in the city, he represented the j youngest newspaper, which might thus engender a fellow feeling which young institutions have for each other. He ' hoped, that if the Guards were ever ] called into (he field, the press would i never be obliged to chronic]-: unworthy dispatches of their conduct. His closing sentiment was, “ The Montgomery , Guards, may they never he obliged to resort to the Press Gang to fill their ranks,” 4. May the blessings of civil and re- ' ligious liberty continue to extend and 1 widen, till not a shrine on earth he found, on which their glories shall not burn. 1 Lieut. Sxead, ill his happiest veiu, re plied to this sentiment. "We regret the want of space to be more explicit. 6. /retold--persecuted yet persever ing Ireland—a voice comes up from the graves of her buried horoes, declaiing that, though overpowered in her efforts, she shall yet be free. Lieut. Weems responded in one of the neatest speeches of the day. 6. Woman .—As the education so is the woman—as the woman, so is the man—as the man, SO is the Republic. To this unanimous sentiment, Lieut. Bashes was loudly called to reply, and an able champion of our mothers he proved to be. Funeral ol Colonel Benton. St. Louis, April 16. —Yesterday tnor- j ning the remains of Thomas H. licnton, were conducted by a military escort ' from the residence of Col. Brant to the' Mercantile Library Hall, which was ap propriately draped with the usual badges of mourning, and where they lay in state till 10 o’clock last night. The final rites of sepulture take place this morning, and will be participated iu by various military companies and bene volent societies, firemen, members of s the City Government, and citizens gen erally. Business is suspended generally to-day ( the stores and houses are in mour ning, and the streets are already crowded with thousands of eager specta tors. It is estimated that ’25,000 per- ‘ sons visited the pall, yesterday, to gaze upon the features of the illustirious v dead l Foreign Items. The work of taking in the Atlantic cable was proceeding with dispatch on botli the Niagara and Aagamemnon, and the whole was expected to be on board by the tenth of May. The Chinese say that no more than ten chops of this years Canton teas are likely to be brought forward, and of silk little or none—the hulk of the lat ter local produce having already found its may through the port of Macao. To the announcement made last week that several of our Paris manufacturers had received some few orders from the United States, we can now add that some have also arrived from Italy and Spain, and that the provincial commis sion agents are asking for samples. We must not, however, reckon much upon foreign demands. Exportation cannot be considerable until the foreign mar kets shall have relieved themselves from the glut of European goods with which they are still encumbered. The Paris Moniteur publishes the average price of Wheat in France, which is 16f. 98c. per hectolitre, showing a de cline of 9 centimes, as compared with the preceding month. A vessel is at Liverpool with the first cargo of produce from the River Niger. The African mail steamer Gambia was more than three weeks overdue at Plymouth, and fears were entertained for her safety. An American seaman named Michael Warey had been committed to take his trial for murdering a man in Liverpool dance-house. Music Hnlh Charms. The Natchez Courier tells of a rough boatman passing along the streets of i that city, who had drifted far away from home, and stopping at the door of ! a music store, where a gentleman was j evoking a sweet strain from the chords j of a fine piano, for the amusement of ; some lady friends. He listened very 1 attentively, paying but little attention i to the passers by, until the hot scalding ! tears coursed down his rough sun-burnt j! cheeks, in spite of all liis endeavors to |, suppress them. Observing that we no- j, tieed him, he turned round and exclaim- i ed: ‘Can't help it, stranger ; I've a lit- j, tie sister somewhere out West that does that sort of thing, and it makes me j ‘ think of home.” j “ Will you have a Daily Sun?” said a news boy to Mrs. Partington. “ Will you have a daily Son ? Why, you little scapegrace! How dare you ' insinute against a lone woman from j home! No, indeed, I guess I won’t have a daily Son l My poor, dear man used to complain awfully when I presented , him a yearly son ! A daily son, indeed 1 1 Begone, you little upstart imp!” And the old woman called for the turkey- S tail fan to keep from swooning. Duel In Paris between a !Vcw Vorker anti a South Carolinian, The Paris correspondent of the New . York Comment'd Adccrtiser, in a letter J brought by the Africa, says : , A duel took place here three days ago j’ between Mr. Calhoun, of South Caro- ' lina, tlie Secretary of the American Le- I gation in this city, and Mr. Brevort, of j New York. They exchanged shots with | pistols, and then, on account of an infor mality, the seconds stopped the fight j for explanations. No meeting hassince taken place, and I believe the affair is to be published. ..... A Aew Printing Press. —The Winsted (Conn.) Herald says that Henry A. Bills, us that place, and Stephen W. Wood, of Cornwall, N. Y., have taken out patents in this country and in England for a new printing press which is intended to re volutionize the art. It will print both sides at, once, is twice as rapid as any other, and far cheaper. The simple test, says the Scientific American, by which consumers can as certain the comparative purity, of gas, is to bum a piece of paper dipped into a solution of sugar of lead. If the gas is not pure, the paper will turn to a j grayish or even black tint, while pure j gas will leave it white. “ Bubby, why don’t you go home and ! 1 have your mother sew up that awful ■ hole in your trowsers ?” “Oh, you git! eout, old ’oman,” was the respectful re ply: “our folks is economizing, and a ' hole will last longer than a patch any day.” “Sir.” said an irascible man, excited by a theological argument, to his op- j posite neighbor, who hail differed from him. “Sir, I believed you are either a deist or an atheist.” “Wrong, sir,” was the rejoinder, “I am a dentist.” “John, did you find any eggs in the old hen's nest this morning?” “No sir : if the old hen laid any, she mis laid them.” ..... Modesty is a handsome dish-cover, I which makes us fancy there is some- \ thing very good beneath it, j : , He who stabs you with a pen would 1 1 do the same with a penknife, were he as j > safe from the law. l A lady describing an fill-tempered ; man, says : “He never smiles but he j feels ashamed of it.” — One of the toasts drank at a recent I celebration was: “Woman! she needs no eulogy, she speak* for herself. Why is a chicken-pie like a gun ' smith's store ? Because it contains fowl- , in-picces. Surely some people must know them- \ selves—they never think about anybody 1 else.

A flour mill, of a perfectly original and new construction, is in operation, at present, at Robb, Pile and McElroy’s printing establishment in Pemberton court, in tlie immediate neighborhood of the Exchange. Tlie machinery is exceedingly simple and every efficient in its working. It is portable and ar ranged in a manner to bo easily trans ferred. The whole space, occupied by the portable merchant Hour-mixing and distributing apparatus, which is com bined with a grinding and bolting mer chant flour mill, does not exceed thirty feet in length, by four feet in width, and eight feet in height. Within this small compass the operation is perform ed, of converting the grain into extra flour, superfine and fine flour, mid dlings, shorts, ship-stuff and bran. The rapidity of the process is astonishing, while every part of the machinery works with the utmost precision. From two to three barrels per hour are turned out. The flour is of the best quality, and the yield per bushel more conside rable, than that of any other mill known. The cleaning of the offal, too, is more thoroughly performed. But one of the main points is, that while a mill of the; old style costs from SIO,OOO to $20,000, j the new mill costs from SSOO to S7OO. J The construction being extrmely sim- J pie, the repairs will be very few and: not costly. Power of any kind can be applied to the machinery, and this is done directly with ordinary appliances. Six horse-power suffice, though larger power may be used. The necessity of! erecting buldings especially for the pur- ; pose, which is in other cases a very;. great item of expense, is obviated, as l any building, in any locality, will be; {found suitable. Considering the ini- j ! mense amount of grain annually raised j . | and consumed in this country, and ex-j • ported in the shape of flour, it is impos-: 1 j sible to overrate the valuo of this in- j vention. It will prove exceedingly use | ful to all parts of the country, and es-j' Ipecially to the West and North-west, j ( | which regions may justly be termed tlie| i world's granary. The working and; 1 construction of the machinery may he!: j examined at the place above mention-: i ' ed. The inventor and patentee is Mr. 1 James M. Clark, of Philadelphia, and j we are gratified to learn that ho is dis- : " i posing of his patent-rights to good ad-: - vantage.— Pennsylvanian. Gold is universally worshipped with-! ( out a single temple, and by all classes • j without a hypocrite. 1 OFFICIAL DRAWINGS OK THE Sparta Academy Lottery. <■ OF GEORGIA.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—Tbo dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into 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 j paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created in the system, the ! basis of activity, strength and health. I The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tlc-doloreux or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, [borne down and dispirited by that , terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of I nervous energy, or experiencing any other pair, ; or disability arising from the unnatural condition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives immediate benefit' ’from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, j i invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous ; organization. Females who have tried it are unanimous in i declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that \ : woman has ever received from the hards of | medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. ! While it renews the strength of the digestive powers it creates a desire for the solid material which is to be subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. If long life and the vigor necessary to its on ; joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to either j ! sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing j 1 wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous depres * sion, the individual suffering from general de ! bility or from the weakness of a single organ 1 ' will all find iramediateacd permanent relief from i the use of this incomparable renovator. To j ; those who have a predisposition to paralysis it , ’ ! will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard j ! against that terrible malady. There are many j; | perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu-1 | tion that they think themselves beyond the reach ; jof medicine. Let not even those despair. The !• | Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re- | i icrence to the causes, and will not only remove | ! thc disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- ! 1 j 1 stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush ; ‘of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil * - i ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-tie- ; ,'siruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys- jc I pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous- ! • ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe- j , i males, decay of the propagating functions bys j ! teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of i. the heart, impotency. constipation, etc., from | whatever cause arising, it if there is any reli- j | ance to bo placed on human testimony, absolute ly infallible. i CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial has been counterfeited by some unprincipled !
