Notice to Advertisers.
Advertisements for the Kvkmxg Dispatch must

order to appear the same day. The heavy pres
sure of advertisements upon the columns of our
paper will not admit of their reception after the
hour named.
LOCAL MATTERS.
More Light.
A few days since we playfully allu
ded to the darkness of the 4th, Ward.
We learn that the cause of this was the
fact that the agent who supplies Phos
gene was out, and of course the lamps
must follow suit. Why dont the city take
gas from the Company for all the street
lamps ; is it not cheaper, more conven
ient and more luminous?
The Weather.
The clerk of the weather dropped in
upon us last night, and submitted a
lias/dng report of business in his hemis
phere. He acknowledged that some of
his understrappers had gotupa breeze and
keen thoroughly soaked in consequence;
hut he hoped they would not be held
to strict account, for the reins of gov
ernment were not always in good condi
tion, owing to the leaking propensities
of their habitation. We accept his
apology with the understanding that
they keep the flood gates closed hereafter
on benefit nights, when the ladies all
wish to go to the Opera.
A Puzzle.
A. and B. bought two hundred acres
of land, for four hundred dollars, and
A. says to 8., one half is better than
the other, and I will take my two hun
dred dollars worth, at two dollars and a
quarter per acre, and you take yours at
one dollar and three quarters per acre.
Now tell me how much land each oue
had. Be sure ta make the two hundred
acres of land and four hundred dollars
even.
Social Correspondence of the Dispatch,
Knoxville, Tenn., April 17.
Embosomed amid the nestling hills
of this favoured region, sits in girlish 1
beauty the city of Knoxville, the noble '
Holston, in breathless haste, rolling its i
interminable waters at her feet, while 1
lifting their head with a lavish profu- ‘
sion, the mountains of coal, iron and
marble are seen all around. 1
Nature has been propitious, and man
is beginning to do his duty, in offering (
up for the use of mankind, the treas
ures which contribute to the elevation
of the race. On the route from Dalton
to this place there is much to merit the
admiration of the traveler; we see well
cultivated and fertile lands, thrifty vil
lages and beautiful scenery. And al
though it is some miles further, I pre
dict that the new route through East
Tennessee, via the Virginia Springs,
to Washington and New York, will he a
favorite one with the Augusta people.
In a conversation]with Maj. Wallace,
the indefatigable President of the East
Tennessee & Georgia Railroad —who, by
the way is one of the very best Railroad
managersin the country--I learned that
this route would be ready for through
passage, without staging, on the 17th
of May. It is expected that an agency
will bo established in this city, where
through tickets can be procured by this
route to any point North Persons who
desire to combine pleasure with busi
ness—to leave their families at the
Springs, while they go on and transact
Xheir business, have now an opportuni
ty never before offered. S.
Treating thf. Press.—The editors of
Augusta have had sent to them each,
“a bottle of Rye Whiskey/’ They
seem, too, to he good judges of the ar
ticle, for they all pronounce it excel
lent.
That’s doing things by halves* the
Savannah merchants present the editors
with a box at a time, and think it a dis
courtesy to annex the condition that it
shall be sent for !— Sav. Hep.
The Savannah merchants, no doubt,
appreciate the peculiar taste of the Sa
vannah editors.— Chronicle and Sentinel.
«He Is Lost.*’
The Paris-correspondent of the Boston
Courier tells the following anecdote of
Grsini, for which, he says, he can vouch:
One of the Magistrates, highest
placed on the bench, and who was fore
most in conducting the prosecution
against the prisoners, (you will easily
see why I can not give his name pub
licly,) had. both personally and by let
ter, held communication with Orsini
since the trial, and, Orsini having writ
ten to thank him for various good offi
ces, the magistrate I speak of paid him
a last visit at the prison of La ltoquette.
Upon this occasion, lie addressed Grsini
thus : “I have no right to ask you
what I am about to ask, and you have
every right to refuse me an answer.—
Consequently, if my question be indis
creet, remain silent What is your be
lief with regard to further attempts
upon the Empor’s life ? will these con
tinue ?”
Orsini looked him full in the face,
and answered slowly and very gravely :
“lean have no reason for not answering
you, and for not speaking the perfect
rruth ; it- is impossible he should escape
—he is lost.”
More Shooting is Girard, Ala. —A
fnriit with pistols occurred yesterday in
Girard, Ala., between Chas. Schneider
<md James Staggs. Five shots were ex
changed, and Staggs was wounded in
the arm. Schneider was not hurt.—
C'hunbm Enquirer, 20th. inst.
Rumored Recall of the British Min
ister. — The New York Tribune says
that private letters from Europe state
that Lord Napier will be recalled from
Washington, and a successor appointed,
whose name is already indicated.
THE FATAL CRINOLINE.
Kura, heavenly mews, desend on me,
And tuna my moarnful liar,
To tell the fate uv Penelope,
The friend uv Jally Mariar.
Her father was a wealthy man,
Who lived close by the wa titer—
And he sot the world by Penelope,
, A deer aud only dawter.
She went to York, to see the sites
And lam the latest fashin,
And she went tu walk on Broadwa street,
Where phemail swells wor dashiu.
The little bonits on their beds,
The bigheals on their shews—
And hoops and firbelows. and all
Guv her a lit of uv blues.
She saw her bonit was tu big,
Tier form tu lank and slim ;
• So she hunted up a milliner,
And put herself in trim.
And when he’d both, and paid for all,
She started oph for hum
To show the folks in Konkapot
That she was considerable sum.
And when she did get oph the kars,
The folks robed up heir eyes,
And wondered how Penelope
Had grown so mutch in size.
You no, deer ma, how lean she was—
Wore sich a monstrous bomt ;
Well, now she’s twenty nine feet round,
And her bed has nothin on it.
Her father met her at the kars,
With neighbor Dobbins’ shay :
1 Rut her hoops, they were so monstrous big,
She kouldn't ride no way.
So oph for hum she went afoot,
Around by Deakon Drew ;
Sometimes she walked, sometimes she run,
And the rest of the way she flew.
The wind it blew and roared like mad,
It fairly seemed to yell.
When the sad axident ockured
That now I’m gwine tu tell.
The pesky hoops began to fill,
Like gas in a balloon—
And poor Penelope she screamed
And shouted like a loon.
And iust beyond the parson’s house,
Right at tiio top uv the hill—
The wind it Ink an extra Juste
And carried her over the mill.
And up. and up, and up she went.
And higher still she rose ;
And as she faded from my site
1 kouldn’t help but think,
That, ten chances to one,
She never would come down,
And then what’s the good uv her new clothes.
A Curious Document.
Washington, as everybody knows,
was very methodical ; and he was par
ticular to have matters about which a
dispute might arise “put into writing.’’ j
The article below is copied from one of I
his “papers,” and is both characteristic
and amusing. It is an agreement with
his gardener, who it appears, was in the
habit of getting “tight,”
“Articles of agreement made this:
twelth day of April, Anno Domini, one I
thousand seven hundred and eighty
seven, by and between George Wash
ington, Esq , of the Parish of Truro, in I
the county of Fairfax, State of Virginia, ; 1
on one part, and Phillip Bater, garden- i
or, on the other. Witness, that the! 1
said Phillip Bater, for and in considera- j
tion of the covenants herein hereafter j
mentioned, doth promise and agree to]
serve the said George Washington for];
the term of one year as a gardener, and
that lie will during the said time, con- !■
duct himself soberly, diligently and,
honestly--that he will faithfully and]
industriously perform all and every part
of his duty as a gardener to the best of j
his knowledge and abilities, and that
he will not at any time suffer himself to
be disguised with liquor, except on
times hereafter mentioned.
“ In consideration of these things be
ing well and truly performed on the
part of said Philip Bater, the said Geo.,
Washington doth agree to allow him
(the said Philip) the same kind and
quality of provisions as he has hereto
fore had, and likewise, annually, a
decent suit of clothes, befiting a man |
in his station ; to consist a coat, vest j
and breeches as working jacket and \
breeches, of homespun besides; two j
white shirts ; three cheek do.; two linen
pocket handkerchiefs ; two pair of linen
overhauls; as many pair of shoes as are j
necessary for him ; four dollars at •
Christmas, with which he may be drunk
four days and four nights ; two dollars
at Easter to effect the same purpose ;
two dollars at Whitsuntide, to be drunk
two days ; a dram in the morning and a
drink of grog at dinner at noon.
“ For the true and faithful perfor
mance of all and each part of these
things, the parties have hereunto Bet

GEO. WASHINGTON,
TOBIAS LEAR.
A Temperance Address.— ln this con
nection it may be well to add the close
of a letter from Washington to one of
his overseers. The “temperance cause,”
as such, had not been heard of in thi
days of Washington ; he was a “ mode
rate drinker,” but he was '* down on”
intemperance. Here is the way he
talks to his overseer :
“ I shall not close this letter without
exhorting you to refrain from spirituous
liquors; they will prove your ruin if
you do not. Consider how little a
drunken man differs from a beast; the ,
latter is not endowed with reason, the
former deprives himself of it: and
when that is the case, acts like a brute,
annoying and disturbing every one 1
around him ; nor is this all, nor, as it!
respects himself, the worst of it. By
degrees it renders a person feeble, and
not only unable to serve others, but to
help himself ; and being an act of his
own, he falls from a state of usefulness j
into contempt, and at length suffers, if:
not perishes, in penury and want.
“ Don’t let this be your case. Show
yourself more of a man and a Christian
than to yield to so intolerable a vice,
which cannot, I am certain, (to the
greatest lover of liquor) give more pleas
ure to sip in the poison, (for it is no bet
ter) than the consequence of it in bad
behavior at the moment, and the se
rious evils produced by it afterwards,
must give pain. lam your friend.
GEO. WASHINGTON.
Decllm* of Anti-Slavery Sculliueiit.
Tt is very evident, from the numerous
iimlirutions which meet the eye, that a
very decided decline in the anti slavery
sentiment is taking place throughout
the Northern Slates. The National Era
an anti slavery journal, published at the
federal capital, not long since confessed
that its circulation bad fallen off one
half of late. It is well known at cuir
Post Office that the anti slavery organ
of our country parts, the Weekly Tri
tium, has lost quite as large a share of
its subscription list. This is also mani
fest from the piteous appeal which it
makes to its friends to come to its aid
and advertise in its columns at half
price. No journal doing a good busi
ness or with an increasing circulation , 1
would show evidence of such weakness j
in the knees as this Herald.
thirty-fifth congress.
Washington, April 17, 1858.
SENATE.
Mr. Foot withdrew his resolution that
ti e ienate re-a6semble on the first Mon
day in November, and introduced the
same proposal in the shape of a bill
which was read twice and laid over for
further consideration.
Mr. Hunter made an earnett endeavor
to take up the deficiency bill.
Messrs. Fessenden and Trumbull with
equal earnestness opposed taking it up
until the Senate shall have time to con
sider it, Mr. Fessenden saying that the
Administration knew these necessities
in June as well as it does now, and Mr
Trumbull saving that a belief exists
that much of this deficiency arises from
contracts entered into without sanction
of law, and from a usurpation on the
part of the Government in quartering an
army in Kansas and sending another to
winter in the Rocky Mountains.
, finally the bill was made the special
order for half-past 12 o’clock on Mon j
day, Mr. Hale previously moving to
amend by adding an additional section
that no contract be henceforth entered j
into by any officer of the government
except under law or under an appro- i
priation adequate for its fulfilment.
The act of May Ist, 1820, so provides,
except in the Quartermaster’s Apart
ment, and Mr. Hale’s amendment is in
tended to cover that omission.
The Senate proceeded to the conside
ration of the Pacific Railroad bill.
Mr. Benjamin moved that the further!
consideration of the subject be postponed
until December next.
Messrs. Wilson and Iverson advocated
the motion which was opposed by Messrs.
Douglas and Bell.
Finally the bill was postponed—yeas
25, nays 22. The Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
The House took up the private calen
der.
Several hills were passed, and the

trict, S. C., for making Illuminating
GAS FROM WOOD ANI) WATER,

The Great Problem
Solved !—I)R. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
-1 DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
; has lost the power of duly converting food into a
i 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
paralyzed aud unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
j basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tlc-doloreux
| or ordinary headache, afflicted with vogue ter
| rors, wakened by periodical (its, threatened with
paralysis, [borne down and dispirited by that
;, terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
! | nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
; or (Usability arising from the unnatural condition
; of tne wonderful machinery which connects ev- :
I cry member with the source of sensation, mo- |
| tion and thought—derives immediate benefit 1
■ from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms. ,
! invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous «
! organization. 1
I Females who have tried it are unanimous in i
I declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that ;
woman has ever received from the hards of
medical men.
I Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im- ]
! mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive 1
powers it creates a desire for the solid material f
which is to be subjected to their action. .As an 1
appetiser it has no equal in the Pliarmacopia. J
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en- t
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of 1
precious worth j
( Its beneficial effects are not confined to either r
j sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the a'lmg
! wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
1 man of business, the victim of nervous depres
! sion, the individual suffering from general de-:
j bility or from the weakness of a single organ [
j will all find immediate and permanent relief from j
! the use of this incomparable renovator. To j .
; those who have a predisposition to paralysis it { "
I will proven complete aud unfailing safe guard '
I against that terrible malady. There are many -
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu-! 1
t.on that they think themselves beyond the reach
!of medicine. Letnoteventho.se despair. The j
j Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re- j J
( lerence to the causes, and will not only remove ( h
i the disorder itself, but rebuild tbe broken con- ' '

SIT Dr. Sanford’s Liver In
vlgorator is the name of a medicine invalu
able to invalids or those troubled with Liver j
Complaint, Jaundice or General Debility, with
i derangement of the system or loss of appetite.
It has one peculiarly, not common to most
j medicines, that is, the Doctor only recommends j
!it for the cure of Liver Complaint, or such dis ,
eases a3 arise from a disordered Liver, and how
well it bears the recommendations given is
known to all who use it. We never have known , *
ia medicine of any kind to perform such atonish
j ing cures as has been by tbe INVIGORATOR. It
' seems to strengthen and invigorate the whole j
body, increasing the vital energy, and giving a
| flow of health to many whose ills were consul- 1 i
red incurable. We can recommend it know- j
ingly as a family medicine, for it has been our .
- best friend in many an hour of sickness. We
