The Catholic Fah, The Fair in behalf of the New Cath olic Church, was attended by a large crowd last night, embracing all classes of our citizens, and the time passed most pleasantly. The hand en livened the hours with excellent music, and the skill of the fair saleswomen was attested by a brisk demand for the articles exhibited. The Fair will be continued to night. Self-Kenvratliig Gas Light, This is the name of a new device to overcome the powers of darkness, and a great portion of the expense of light.— The entire arrangement is very simple. A common lamp is filled with common fluid. The new burner is placed upon it, the wick ascending about one-half np the tube, and acting as a conductor for the gas. The flanges of the new burner are heated,by a process requiring scarcely more than a second, when the gas ascends and is ignited. The light giv er, is equal to that of ten candles, and is mellow and agreeable. We have not had an opportunity of testing its econo my, but it claims to be a very great sa ving over other light. The Agent is at the Augusta Hotel, where the light may he seen. Elcctlc Magazine. The agent for this monthly, Mr. Ke ns Boon, is now in this city, and will take pleasure in waiting upon all who desire to become subscribers to this valuable work. We have heretofore expressed a decided preference for mag azines of this kind—the solid and sub stantial—aver those of the flashy order ; and we have no hesitation in recom mending the Electic as a gem of the first water. Its selections are made from the whole range of British and Foreign periodical literature with good taste and sound judgement. It is, and al wavs has been a favorite with the great and good of onr country, who, by scores, have given it their recommendation. “1 have long been a reader of the Eclectic Magazine, and 1 regard it as un surpassed by any work of the kind in our country for valuable reading. The selections are from the whole circle of foreign periodicals, and rarely is one found which is not of lively interest or profound instruction. A. B. Loxostrket, S ('. College. Columbia, March 2d, 1868.” “ I cheerfully offer my testimony to the value of the Eclectic Magazine, as a most suitable periodical for interesting and profitable reading. Its selections are eminently judicious and gathered from a wide range of the best and purest literature of the world. Joseph B. Wilson Augusta, April 22, 1858.” Mr. Rood is general agent for tiie South ern States, and may be found at the Aughsta Hotel. Price of Flour.

A very fair margin. Tooo]m for L'tah. On Sunday last a detachment of sev enty troops, with four commissioned of ficers, from Old Point Comfort, passed over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for St. Louis,from whence they will be transported to Fort Leavenworth. The detachment is forwarded by Major S i'aylor, t^uaitcniiaster of the United States Army. The officer arc Major John F. Reynolds, first Lieutenant McKever, second Lieutenant Edwards, third Lieu tenant Waldrick. This detachment is a reorganization of the famous Captain Bang's battery of flying artillery, the guns of that battery having preceded them to Fort. Leavenworth, where they will be mounted. Their destination is Utah. Curious Will.—The will of Gov. Blatcliett, of Plymouth, proved in 1788, con tun is the following singular clause: “I desire my body to he kept so long as it may not be offensive, and that one of my toes or fingers may be cut off, to secure a certainty of being dead. I fur ther request my dear wife, that as she has been troubled with one old fool, she will not think of marrying a second.” A Philadelphia correspondent jut Wash ington says Col. Benton has died poor. . Some time since,his house onO st., was burned down, and he went to the ex pense of having it rebuilt;but there is a mortgage of SIO,OOO on it, which will almost absorb the value of the property.!

From Kaiiflna. Tbe Kansas presses give glowing ac counts of the manner in which the Sen ate Lecompton Bill was received by the people of the Territory. One paper says : 4, Wc are exultant. Last night's boat brought glorious news from Washing ton. All was joy in the ranks of the Free State men; foi the Lecompton usurpation wa< damned by the Repre sentatives of the People. “We have no words to express our joy. We feel too much. Our people feel too much. Drum and fife, shout and music greeted the news, and spoke the enthusiasm of the people. All was excitement. The heart-beat was strong, and all gave way to it. We feel only like shouting—we only want to say — God bless the cause of Freedom and Free Kansas! “The Times office was illuminated P Mail Robbers Arrested.—The Co lumbia (S. C.)

The Scientific American , alluding to' the success of Rarey, the horse tamer, ; attributes it to the use of herbs and ‘ drugs, and gives the following recipe j for others to accomplish the same re-' suits: “Procure some finely grated horse castor, and oils of cumin and rhodium, | and keep the three separate in air-tight j vessels. Rub a little of the oil of cu I min upon your hand, and approach thoi horse on the windward side, so that he j can smell the odor of the cumin. The j horse will then suffer you to approach him without any trouble. Immediate ly rub your hand gently on the horse’s nose, getting a little of the oil on it, and you can lead him anywhere. Give him a little of the castor on any sub stance for which he has a taste, and in the most suitable manner manage to get eight drops of the oil of rhodium upon his tongue, and he will at once become obedient to the most exacting commands with which horses are ca pable of complying. Be kind and gen tle to him, and your permanent supre macy will be established, no matter what may have been his previously wild and vicious character. We understand that Mr. Rarey has been challenged by D. Sullivan, also a horse tamer, (grand son of the celebrated ‘Sullivan, the Whisperer,’) to a trial of powers in Cork, Ireland.” TIIIRTY.FIFTH CONGRESS. Washington, April 19, 1808. SENATE. The Secretary of War transmitted a ; reply to the recent resolution of the ! Senate, giving information in regard to | t he Utan contracts entered into without: special authorization of Congress. Mr. Slidell introduced petitions from : citizens of New Orleans, asking that aid ■ be extended to the Collins’ line of steam- i ers, and to a new line of steamers from New Orleans to Bordeaux Mr. Mason from the committee on foreign relations, reported a bill for the relief of the officers and owners of the private armed brig General Armstrong. Mr. Mason offered a resolution, mak ing certain inquiries of the Secretary of the Navy as to the condition of the U. S. ship Susquehanna while at Jamaica, and tire assistance extended to her at that possession. The Senate proceeded to the consider ation of the deficiency bill: but before coming to any decision thereon, went into an executive session, and soon af terwards adjourned. HOUSE. The Committee on Foreign Affairs, this morning, directed Mr. Clingman, its chairman, to report a resolution ab rogating the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. 1 condemning it both in American as well as the British construction, and author izing the President to take immediate steps for its abrogation. The House resumed the consideration of the Police bill. Mr. Goode made an earnest speech in favor of the bill, and ably replied to the objections which had been made ' against it. Various amendments were discussed, j | but no conclusion had been arrived at ' w hen this report was closed. ** * - A A’ovel Kane. I A novel race took place at St. Thom i as, Cauda, on Tuesday last, between a | blooded race horse and a locomotive.— I The horse is decided to be a very fast unL', and so is the locomotive, and both : were well trained to the track. The arrangements between the betting par-! ties were, that the horse should be at j bis starting place when the locomotive ! came up oven, and the word ‘'go”! should be given, when away they went j under whip and steam.

Goodspeedville. some mite or .... , . iom this village. It appears that a man by the name of Adams,living in Goodspeefl ville, died about seventeen months ago —leaving a wife to mourn his loss. The widow removed to the West and re mained there until a short time since, when she returned to this town. Upon her return she found her de ceased husband's brother dying with consumption, and declared that he could be cured only in the following manner, which she said was practiced where she had been living. The body of her husband should he taken up, the heart dissected, and if any blood was found in the heart, it should be burned, and the sick man would recover ! This monstrous proposition was immediately acted upon—the dead body disintered—l a physician (?) called, who took out the I heart and lungs, but not enough blood being found to answer the purpose—the j body having lain too long—the further prosecution of the infamous project was abandoned. —Glens Falls Republican. * tVhat I# the Reason. Palsy is becoming a very prevalent malady. Once upon a time it was a rare disorder, and a man afflicted with it was certain to he the subject of gen eral curiosity as well as general sympa thy. Now we find palsy and paralysis figuring conspicuously in the billsof mortality, and there are few of us ex empt from the knowledge of some indi vidual instance of suffering. Is this change really owing to the adulteration of ales, wines, and spirits, so common now a days ? Or must we look f<tr the cause in some other more potent direc-j tion ? A late English work speaking of j the death of General Edmund Phipps,, remarked that he had lost, for many years, the use of his right arm "* from paralyis, caused, it is said, by drinking j bad Sherry, when in regimental quar ters, in which white lead was infused.” (Here is an inuendo, of the strongest character. Is all Sherry in these times, j white leaded ? Is all whiskey strich ' nyned ? Do we actually swallow Scotch | snuffin brandy, red precipitate In Ja | maica rum, logwood and oil of vitroil j in old Port, tincture of old boots in Ma | deira, copperas in green tea,calf's brains i and indigo in our milk, chicory in our | Mocha, not to mention deceased Tab ihies and Towsers in our Croton? If jnot, "how this world is given to” fa bricating calumnies merely to the ,accumulated pile of human apprehen sions. If yes, how is it we even live to reach the age of maturity, and to cut our favorite beverage with our wisdom teeth ?—Baltimore IRspatch. Curious Pacts In Regard to Rallmads. The Virginia and Tennessee Railroad is 204 miles in length, and it cost about $7,000,000. In 1800 the taxable value of the laud in the counties through which it passes, as taken from the cen sus. was $28,042,047 ; and in 1850 the State assessment makes it $53,917.229!! or an increase in six years of $25,365,- 558 ! This sudden increase is alone the result! of an internal improvement, which has cost only $7,000.000. OFFICIAL. DRAWINGS OF THK Sparta Academy Lottery. OF GEORGIA.

NEW YORK, April 17.—The week closes upon an exceedingly easy money market, w ith ;i scar ■ city of prime paper, which makes it difficult for merchants or banks to keep their funds employ ed The range of best names is from sto 7 per cent, with 30®60 day bills of leading houses, at as low as 4 1 , per ct. The chief customers for paper at tho discount houses are banks, which cannot, from their regular dealers, obtain the amount of paper they require to keep their pre sent line ol discounts good. Stocks close firmly, with little appearance of speculation. The present range of prices may be fairly considered as absolute values, below ; which they cannot be forced, except by specula ! tive combinations, some new, unexpected and . unfavorable feature in the Money Market, or a , pestilence—the latter, just now, being consider ' ed by the Bear party as the most imminent of i all possible evil?. Against the-’o depressing in rtuenr.es the market Ims the advantage of cheap , money, with an absolute certainty of still lower rates for months—indeed until business general ly revives, and calls for its quota of capital. If railroad managers are not deceived the railways , have aho the advantage of a growing business, which, sided by the rigid economics now prac . ticod, w ill add to their intrinsic value, and soon , er than the public outside are willing to concede, put them iu the way of giving their sharehold ers some return. In short, the recurrence of a wbo'e chapter of accidents would force prices down. While the general m vement of the country is towards restoration, however slow it ; may upper.r. it U more prabable that present • values will be sustained, with a reasonable hope of moderate improvement —Express.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—The dvsprptic patient, wh6se stomach lias lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining element, Ls relieved by a single course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric fluid ro acquires it* solvent power, and the crude nutriment, which was a load ami a burthen to the sufferer, while his digestive organization was paralysed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tie-doJoreux i or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with I paralysis, (borne down and dispirited by that ! terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of | nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain : or disability arising from the unnatural condition j of the wonderful machinery which connects cv j ery member with the source of sensation, mo j tion and thought—derives Immediate benefit j 1 from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms. ' invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it are unanimous in 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 materia! which ls 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 en joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to cither sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn j man of business, the victim of nervous depres j sion, the individual suffering from general de j bility or from the weakness of a single organ | will all find immediate and permanent relief from the use of this incomparable reuovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it : will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard against that terrible malady. There are many j perhaps who have so trifled witli their constitu tion that they think themselves beyond the reach ( of medicine. Let not even those despair. The t Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re- . 6 lerence to the causes, and will not only remove the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con- ! ’ stitution LOSS OF MF.MORY, confusion, giddiness, rush ; of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ■ i ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-dc j sructiou, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys- , j pepsia. general prostration, irritability, nervous- : • ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fc ' males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of I the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from | whatever cau-e arising, it is, if there is any reli- j , lance to be placed on human testimony,absolute- I ly infallible. |- CAI'TIONDr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial, has been counterfeited by some unprincipled persons.
