dkttraj! psjmtcj}. AUGUSTA.GA: Saturday Evening, April ZI, IK.IS. Ktw Line ot Savannah Steamers. Our mercantile friends will be glad to; learn that Messrs. Bkigham, Baldwin &j Co., of Savannah, have commenced run ning a new line of steamers between j that port and New York. Two fine new | vessels, the Montgomery and the Hunts- Me, are now plying regularly between) these points, sailing every Saturday from each port. The price of passage has been reduced by this company from $26, the usual charge, to sls. Persons taking the new route may rest assured that every attention will be paid to their oomfort and convenience. Freights have also been reduced about one-third on this new line, which will prove an important saving to those of our merchants who deal in, New York. Where, by the old route, they paid ten cents per foot for freight, By this new line they can ensure the transportation of goods at six cents.— Taking into consideration the heaviness of the freight bills we have seen, we think a laige saving may be made by patronizing this new line. For further particulars of this new company, we refer our readers to their advertisement elsewhere. Dlurdci. 'fire editor of the Detroit Atlvertuer says that he lias learned confidentially of new developments which warrant the suppositions that the perpetrator of the Bckdeli. murder will soon be disclosed. The article in which he makt s this announcement is not dated the Ist of April. ggj" A correspondent of the Burling ton Free Freer writes from St. Charles, Illinois: "Times are hard and dull. Produce is worth nothing ; wheat 42c., •orn 24c , oats 19c., butter 12c , eggs Sec., and other things in proportion.' Pay of Army and Jfavy Officers. The New York Herald calls attention ; to the great disproportion in the pay of j the Army and Navy. The Army Keg- j ister does not give an adequate idea of j the compensation of army officers, for the amount of pay is only given, and , ■hen some column stating how many i ■ations, servants, &c., each rank is en titled to. It appears, however, from a Document, transmitted to Congress by j the War Department, inconformity with kt recent resolution of the House of Rep resentatives, showing the gross amount ■paid and allowed to each officer in the I service for the pastyear, that the “pay” lof the army officer, in nearly every in- I stance, is not a quarter of the real sala- Iry received. The Herald publishes the ■ following table, showing the amounts leach grade of army and navy draws ■from the treasury : I NAVY. ■Senior Captain :::::: $1,500 I Post Captain ::::::: 8,600 I Commander 2,100 I Lieutenantscommanding : 1.800 I Lieutenants ::::::: 1,500 I Midshipmen 750 ARMY. I General in Chief : $18,292 Brigadier General : 5,000 Colonel:::::::: : 4,500 Lieutenants Cols : : ; : : 4,000 Captains ::::::: : 2,600 Lieutenants :::::: : 2,000 | Justice to the Navy, says the Ilich | mond Dispatch, demands that this glar- I ing disproportion should be done away. iThe service of the Navy is even more ■arduous, and exposed to more peril and ■hardships than the Army. The Navy ■has achieved glory and respect for this ■country throughout the world, and it ■must be our main reliance in the future ■against the great maritime powers. It ■ought to be put on an equality of pay, ■to say the least of it, with the Army. Another Duel on the Tapis. I The Columbus Sun is credibly inform ■cd that a couple of distinguished Alabami- Kms, not having the fear of the law be ■fore their eyes, have arranged for a duel ■near Girard, Ala., on Monday next, ■with yagers, at 30 paces. If Wilson’s ■code does not come in to prevent it, ■ there will be a fight, certain, or a back lout. We do not apprehend much dam lage to either, however, further than la considerable of a scare on both sides. l Georgia Items. I Hancock county court was held last ■week. The Georgian says, but little of ■interest transpired. The trial of Jons ■Saucers was put off again, owing to the ■absence of important counsel, Judge ■Thomas of Elbert was suddenly called ■home on Monday night to see his wife, ■reported as extremely ill. He arrived ■several hours after death, as wo were in ■formed. I The case of the State against Mis. ■Hudson for the mmder of John Bass, ■was also put oft'—the Judge very proper ■ly as we think, raising the bail from Is3oo to SI2OO for her appearance at the ■next term of court. I IST The Marion American of the 20tli linst. says : “We learn that a negro of |Mr. Woodson Cocke was killed by the ■ overseer yesterday or this morning. We I understand that thenegio attempted to Ikill the overseer, and that he wasjusti- Ifiable in the killing. We have this up lon rumor, which may not be entirely I correct. £47” The Grand Division of Sons of ■Temperance of South Carolina meets at ■Cheraw on the 28th inst. I w The Knoxville (Tenn.)

I In the case of Myra Clark Gaines vs. |De La Croix, City of New Orleans et al., ■says the New Orleans Delta of Saturday, ■judgment was rendered this morning ■against the plaintiff. Judge McCaleb's ■decision is a lengthy and elaborate one. ■He concludes by saying : l “Itisto me a consolatory reflection ! that in a case of so much importance as the one now under consideration, if j there be error in the conclusions to | which my mind has been irresistably ' brought, that error will be speedily cor rected by a higher tribunal. “ After a long and deliberate exami -1 nation into the merits of this controver- I sy, I am of opiuion that there is no | equity in the complainant's bill, and | that it must be dismissed with costs.” Young ?len*s dirlstlan Association of Richmond. ; The Association now numbers between 600 and 70G members, active, associate and honorary.

Kate, the other day, was asserting a wife’s right to the control of her own i property, and incidentally advocating the equality of the sexes—a touchy point with her. I put in— ri “Tell me then, Kate, why animals J form stronger attachments to men than ; women. Your dog, your parrot, and i even your cat, already prefer me to e jyou. How can you account for it, un . i less you allow there is more in us to B respect and love." most decided nod, “by affinity.

The Key of the Gulf, of the 10th inst., furnishes the following statement of the progress of the work on this important! fortification : During the past season a large num ber of workmen have been employed on this fort and the work has rapidly pro gressed. The fort is constructed in \ eight feet water, about one thousand feet from the shore, and is designed to command the harbor and its entrances. ‘ It will have two tiers of casemated guns, and one in barbette, two hundred and forty-nine in all, anil will have a cover face to protect it from the land side. The casemated tiers of Fort Taylor ] are nearly ready for the armament.— The embrasures of tbe three channel fronts are completed, the bastions alone being in an unfinished state. The situ ation of the works is such that it can be made available as a means of defence in a very few days. The barbette tier is not ready for the guns, but could be made serviceable .as rapidly as they could be mounted. The main batteries of this work consist of 42 pounders, 8 and 10 inch columbiads. The flanks and the gorge have guns of less weight. Theie will be 122 casemate batteries, and 57 guns in barbette—in the castle. The cover face—not yet commenced- is to have 48 guns, and the seige battery i 22. Total number of guns 249. During the winter and spring a force i of 225 men have been employed—the i greater number of whom were discharg ed on tha 9th inst. An active force will l however, be engaged during the sum . mer ; the usual slave force being retain ed. Should Congress make a liberal ap -1 propriation for this work this session, s another season’s operations would place it in such a state that a small garrison . could easily hold it against a large fleet. i Serial Notices. 1 Wi star’s Balsam of Wild Cherry, the great remedy for Consumption and all other diseases of the Pulmonary Organs.

The composition of these Bitters includes those 1 medicinal substances which experienced physi cians have long resorted to for special action on the system, when deranged by Fevers, Dys pepsia, Agues and General Debility, resulting > from exposure or climate influence. 3 These are rendered permanent, and remain [ active m this preparation, as a consequence of the scientific manner in which they are combined.
