Our community was startled this morning by the announcement, which spread like an electric shock through the city, that one of our most enter prising merchants and respected citizens had terminated his life ljy his own hand,' under the most strange and melancholy circumstances. Wm. T. Ingraham was found dead about 10 o’clock last night, at his room in this city under circum stances which leave no doubt of his hav ing shot himself, and which indicate that the horrible deed had been com mitted ten or twelve hours. He had been in company with his friends in the morning, and up to ten o'clock, appear ed well and cheerful. About this hour he complained of a pain in his head, and laying off his coat and vest threw himself upon the bed. One or two gen tlemen occupying rooms adjoining ex-| pressed somesolicitudeabout his health, and he replied that he thought he would be better after laying quietly awhile ; j and accordingly they left the room. He! was heard to lock tire doors soon after hut supposing it was for the purpose of | preventing disturbance, it attracted no: surprise. The day passed off, and Mr.; Ingraham did not make his appearance, j One of his friends occupying a room! near him, ordered his dinner sent to! him ; but knocking at his door without I receiving any :“W;nse, concluded that; he was asleep, and soon went out. Du-! ring tlie day persons rapped at his door I several times, but received no answer. As he did not go to supper, his friends became uneasy, and forced an entrance to his room, through a window. Hej was lying on ins left side, in a pool of I blood, dead, having shot himself with] a single barreled pistol ; nearly the whole charge entering his body, and passing thfough Ids heart. His arms were in the attitude of shooting, and: the pistol lay within the angle of his’ left arm, over the heart. He must therefore have expired immediately. Persons iu the adjoining rooms recol lect hearing a noise, like the falling of! a window, about 11 o'clock in thej morning, which was doubtless the re port of the fatal shot. The rooms were j separated by closets, with double doors I and partitions, and hence the indis tinctness of the report. The above facts are gathered from! the evidence at the Coroner’s Inquest, j held about half-past eleven o'clock last j night. No explanation has come to light as to fee causes that led to this fatal re sult. The deceased-was quiet and gen tlemanly inhis deportment, not given to excesses, and rather cheerful in his dis position. Recent embarrassment hi his business has given him some anxiety, and affords the only incentive toself-de- 1 strnction yet developed. Mr. Ingra ham has left S’, aged mother, and other: relatives in Connecticut. He was about 45 years old. We learn that he will be buried this Afternoon. TKree Men Drowned. The Constitutionalist of yesterday con tains the following account of an acci dent which occurred afewdays ago, some miles above Augusta : “One of the pole boats owned by Mr. Mi.Cui.uv, who re sides, we believe, in Elbert eo., ami which had been employed in conveying cotton and other produce to this market, and also for the purpose of transporting goods and merchandise to persons resi ding o i the river, was capsized by com- 1 ing in collision with a rock, in a very swift running portion of the stream. A. man by the name of Mabtiss, and two: negro men were drowsed. Goods to the value of about two thousand dollars were lost. “It is stated that the persons who! were drowned were active and expert! swimmers, and the only person on the! boat whose life was saved was a man j totally unable to swim ; but was fortu-1 nate in obtaining a plank or some other buoyant article, and readied the shore.” | The Chronicle Sf Sentinel, of yester day morning learned from passengers by the Georgia Railroad yesterday morn ing, that the “Pioneer Paper Mill,” near Athens, was destroyed by fire Fri day afternoon. Hon. Jefferson Davis is slowly recover ing though not able to give much at-j tention to business. The sight of one eye, it is feared, is gone, through tb violence of the neuralgic affection un der which lie has There is some hope of its recovery through the agency of an operation upon the pupil, in reference to which it is said that lie contemplates a visit to Paris to consult an eminent optician there. N. P. Willis is -lying seriously ill at Idlewild. A bilious fever, and a” return of his old trouble of the lungs, are the cause of his prostration. During the present high water in the Mississippi, a cut-off lias occurred in the American Rend, permitting steamboats to pass through at a saving of 21 miles. A wag says that a Miss is. fin circum ference) 1 as good as a mile.” From Putnam’s Magazine. OAIJfS FOR All. OUR LOSSES. > j The Past! the Past! oh, what a tide Docs memory pour upon the breast • I Eliza Cook. ■ There are gains for all our louses. There are halms for all our pain, Dili when youth, the dream departs. It takes something from our hearts,' :l And It never comes again. We are stronger and are wiser t Und. r manhood’s sterner reign, , Still we feel that something sweet Followed youth with (tying feet, And will ne’er come hack again. Something beautiful has vanished, Anil we sigh for it tn vain ; - We behold it everywhere On the earth and in the air, But it never comes again. * 1 A Lady on Economy, i The following letter, addressed to the . fair writer of the “Parlor and Sidewalk Gossip” in the Sunday Times, is from a ’; lady of good sense and much ability, ,! whose careful lucubrations have more r than onee graced our columns. We publish it, therefore, as something that ’ will interest her sex, as well as out , own. As to the promised “Adventures .! in Search of Economy,” let "Stanley” work them up ; we shall be happy to introduce them to flte public. Here is ! the letter : . Dear Jeannie—Your “ Parlor and I Sidewalk Gossip” is very piquant and interesting; bnt I think you are a lit tle, a very little, too much under the - j influence of the prevailing New York r ! ideas in regard to the necessary expen ses of genteel (?) living. As your object is undoubtedly to do ’ good, so is mine; and therefore you, J will excuse my comments, I know. You tell us of a “daring individual,” I a friend of yours, who ventured to mar ry on a salary of $750 per annum.— |! Why, my dear friend, to a prudent , young couple, with good health—and ’ j generally no one without good health ' ought to marry—that was no venture . at all. What! two persons not live j comfortably and respectably on $750? I tell you, it can be done, for I know it 1 ; by experience. To be sure, the whole ! matter turns on the peculiar ideas we ; : attach to those words, “comfortably! ; and respectably.” But I think I could j 1 convince you that even, according to 1 your own ideas, it can easily be done. And from the extract you gave us i I from the experience of George’s wife, I j see she is made of the right stuff, and I * mai'. 1 " long to tell you some of my expe j i-ionce, | u '”,nk I could give her a few hints which would Cl’ 11 * s*-' 5 *-' S7OO go a j j good deal further, and lea7 e : ■ thing to enjoy herself upon, -- ’ 8 j ! the right kind of experience telling, in my i opinion. lam sorry to see the idea becoming j I prevalent that young people ought not to marry until they have an income of j SISOO, which you say ought to be sttffi- : ejent for a working man. No; let j ! young people moderate their ideas— j that is, where the shoe pinches. While I I deprecate as much as any one a f00.’,. j ish rushing into matrimony without, the means of support, I say, let yojng peo j pie find out upon how littlq they can live, even in New York, comfortably and respectably, i’.i the genuine sense :of those much abused terms, and j then, having secured that little, let j them marry as soon as they please, and i enjoy themselves together in a quiet, j loving, comfortable way. As to respecta j bility, let them have theirs own inde ; I pendent ideas about that, and snap their fingers at the foolish and slavish ideas of the so-calleA fashionable world. It is high time for sensible, reasonable and i independent people to speak out on this i subject. Talk of Southern slavery ! I Look at tlie jovial, well-fed, reckless I Southern negro, and. then look at the | millions of free (?) men and women , i who are galled by the fetters of stupid public •opinion, kook at the anxious, ' care-worn, pinched up faces of tire hard ■ working fathers, who are killing them , selves to scrape enough together to sat isfy the demauds of their fashionable ' wives and daughters ! Look at the uti > easy, jealous glances cast by one fash j ienable woman on another! ..Look at '! the managing, and the stinting, and ‘ the concealing artifices of tbose who - can hardly “keep up appearances!” I , do think that all who have talents and I I influence should do all they can to stem •[ the tide of fashionable folly which has 1 deluged our beloved land. What say you, Jennie, to my writing a series of “Adventures its Search of Economy?” Real, bona JUk adventures, . I mean ; for I itave not arrived at my present enlightened condition without a varied and somewhat amusing experi -2 enec. Oh. I could tell of some curious ; phases of human nature ! 1 could de -| pint some humorous and some . pathetic , j scenes, all. true as the Gospel I Shall I , [ do it ? Yours, sincerely, Stanley. By all means, “Stanley” gives us your sketches. There is room for them ! not only at the North, but at the South J and West, and throughout all corners of k the earth where fashionable follies have >j penetrated. Give us your sketches.— ; They shall be read by our ten thousand 1 Georgia readers—anyhow.—[Ed. Dis i PATCH. > Congressional. i! 'Washington, April .23, 1858. SENATE. Mr. Morrell’s agricultural college bill J was read twice and referred to tlie Com 'j mittee on Public Linds. The private calendar was then taken i «P- In the Senate the Chair presented an Executive Communication in answer to a Senate’s resolution of inquiry, re specting the slave trade, coolie trade, and African apprentice system, which was referred. .Mr. Bigler presented a memorial from citizens of Philtvielpltia, asking that authority be given to tlie Postmaster to establish a. mail route between the city | and Liverpool. Mr. Sebastian submitted a resolution, i directing the Committee on Military Af i fairs to inquire into tlie expediency of ; constructing a wagon road from Font 1 Smith, Arkansas, to San Francisco, which was adopted. A bill giving the Friend's Yearly ■ meeting of Indiana, a right to pre-emp tion of certain lands in Kansas, was dis cussed for a short time, and then laid upon the table. After considerable discussion the Sen ate proceeded to the consideration of tlie Deficiency. HOUSE. J. Glancy Jones asked the unanimous consent of the House to print for tlie use of tlie Committee on Ways and Means the Indian Appropriation and Indian Deficiency bills in order to for ward the public business. Mr. George Taylor objected. Mr. Jones said he wished to have this noted. Mr. Savage endeavored to have con-! sidered the soldiers’ pension bill, but the House went into Committee on the Private Calendar. At 1 o’clock, on motion of Mr. Eng lish the Committee rose, when he made a report from tlie Committee of Confer ence on the Kansas bill, signed by! Messrs. English and Stephens on the; part of the House, and Messrs. Green ; and Hunter on the part of the Senate, Messrs. Howard and Seward dissenting The report was read. It makes the admission of Kansas under the Lecomp tou Constitution dependant on the ac ceptance of the ordinance submitted to the people. If rejected provision is made for the formation of a new Con stitution. ' Mr. English asked that tlie report be - printed, and that the further considera t tion of the same be postponed till to , morrow. i Mr. Howard suggested a postpone ' ment till Thursday next, t Mr. Stevens thought that Monday j : would be the proper time. ' Mr. Hill intended to visit Georgia, and while absent to examine the bill.—j • He therefore moved to postpone its fur-| i ther consideration till the second Mon- j day in May next. I This was agreed to—yeas 108, nays 1 105. Mr. Harris of Illinois moved a recon-! sideration of tlie vote and to lay that : motion on the table. During the proceedings, Mr. Hill j asked leave to explain his motion for » postponement, but Mr. Gartrell objee i. ted. Hill stated that lie expected as much, and added something more.— j From the position of the parties, it was! • evident that a disturbance was on the i eve of being consummated. The Speak-! •j er called for the Sergeant-at-arms. But I j the pending difficulty was removed by! 1 Mr. Hill retiring to his seat. : Several motions to adjourn were: ' | made; and one at a quarter to four sue-1 ' j ceeded. i j The young lady who does not apoio jgize when you find her at work in the | jkitohen, but continues her task until it; jis finished, will not fail to make a goocj j ! wife.

Os these, Dr. SANFORD’S ‘ INYIGORATOR or LIVER REMEDY stands first and foremost among the remedies of the day that can be relied on as a medicine that is all it is recommended by its proprietors. It adver tises itself on every trial, for there are none who use it i ut tell their friends to do so, and so it goes from mouth to mouth till all the people of the Union have learned the good of this truly valuable medicine. It is recommended with tes timonials to prove its virtue for thecure of liver complaints of every kind, from Ihe worst Dys pepsia to a common Headache, and Is particular ly adapted to Jaundice, Deranged Stomach. Bow el Complaints, and Diseases of Children Oue or two doses are said to cure a cold with ; scarce a failure. It is worth a trial for this ' alone. It is particularly adapted to the use of ladies of sedentary habits. Some ladies of the highest standing in society have given their cer tificates of its efficacy, and we say to all who are ailing, try one bottle, and you will never be j it.— Bloomfield Press. ap*2fi-m {sTThc Great English Remedy.—Sir James Clarke’s CELEBRATED j FEMALE PILLS.

MOUSE’S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach J has lost the power of duly converting food into a i life-sustaining clement, 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 j I the sufferer, while bis digestive organization was ; 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 j acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux ' <; or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- j rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that i terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack o( ; nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain I or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition | | of the wonderful machinery which connects ev- J cry member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives immediate benefit 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 1 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 1 powers it creates a desire for the solid material which is to be subjected to their action. As an j i appetiser it lias no equal in the I’harmacopia. If long life and the vigor necessary to its en-1 Jjoyraent are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to either ; | *cx or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing : wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn | man of business, tlio victim of nervous depres-j 'sion, the individual suffering from general de-! bility or from the weakness of a single organ ‘ will all find immediate and permanent relief from j i the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard against that terrible malady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion that they think themselves beyond the reach of medicine. Let not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re lereuce to the causes, and will not only’ remove the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution J LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de sl ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe : males, decay of the propagating functions, hys i teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of j the heart, impotency, t constipation, etc., from ■ whatever arising, it is, if there is any reli- 1 j j ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute-!
