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 their hands this twenty-third day of April, Anno Domini, 1787. his PHILIP* BATER. mark. Witness. GEO. WASHINGTON. 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 House adjourned. OFFICIAL DRAWINGS <>P THE Sparta Academy Lottery. OF GEORGIA.

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- ' ' slitution I LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush j. •of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil- _ ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self de s'ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys- c. , pepsia, general prostration, irritahilily. nervous- -i ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe- J j males, decay of the propagating functions, hys ! i teria. monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of j {the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from ] whatever cau-e arising, it is, if there is any reli-' j anoe to be placed on human testimony, absolute- - i ly mramme. * CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial , J : has been counterfeited by some unprincipled ' - ' persons.
