(Bcn'mg AUGUSTA.GA: Monday Evening, Way 10,1838. Who Is Wldestreet.” For some time past thatlim'ted num ber of the reading public who are favor ed with the perusal of the Savannah Geor gian, have been edified with a series of letters from Augusta, over the signa ture of “Gus Widest red." These letters have been characterized by nothing to impart to them any particular interest, —the peculiar characteristic of the wri ter being a perfect dysentery of words— and such words, too—combining scraps from comic song-books, poetical diction aries, interlarded with French quota tions and a variety of lexicographical extravaganza, calculated to tickle un thinking ears, and to use a trite express ion, make fools wonder. We would not interfere with the lite rary laurels of which this writer is evi dently emulous, were he not imposing on the public in away calculated to im pair the influence of legitimate journal ism, by indulging bogus correspondence, 1 and inventing novel paragraphs, merely ( to have them copied, and thus get the * name of the Georgian into its exchanges. ' And as he has taken the liberty of re- 1 sering to us, and our sanctum, whose door we are quite sure he has new 1 darkened, we shall indulge the liberty r of taking the conceit out of him, by ex- 4 posing a numbor of the petty impos- 1 tures he has played upon the public— 1 and leave him to wear ail the laurels 0 his borrowed plumage may gain him. c “Gus Widestreet” —reader, the redoubt- c able “Gus,” who dines to-day at the 0 United States, and inflicts the readers of j 1 the Georgian with an account of it to- „ morrow, (an impossibility, if the letter t Were written here,) —is no other than an J attache, who writes sensation para graphs for the Savannah Georgian, and is generally known as the “funny man” 1 of that laughable establishment. In f[ addition to “doing” the local para graphs which usually adorn the columns 11 of that paper, he keeps up regular cor- K respondence from all corners of the uni Terse. To-day he dines at the “United _ States” in Augusta, to-morrow he rev els in the smiles of the belles of Baltimore, and the next day is pirouet- K ting with the brunettes of New Orleans, 11 —and in all the changes of diet and lat- ll! tude which he seems to enjoy, this in- J' corrigible, and incurable diarrhoea of words still afflicts him. It seems to c have assumed a chronic type, and will c probably follow him to a premature grave. Nor does he show the symptoms of this disease alone in his flash corres pondence. Its diagnostic workings are * visible in his “locals,” and “stick out” ! in whatever emanates from him. Un- ■ der its influence he has poured out some , most astonishing effusions. Such, for i instance, as the assertion that a printer i in the Georgian office had fallen heir to a large estate in England, and gone ovei to enjoy it— that Seymour, the New Ha ven Bank defaulter, and Allsoi , tin English refuge, had been seen in Savan nah. Now, we are credibly informed that no one else in that city has had the privilege of seeing these notabili ties, and it is certainly a little singu lar that this fortunate printer, and these notorious rogues should con fine their associations alone, during a visit South, to the funny man of the Georgian. From the same fruitful source originated the report that Frank Rea had been captured by the Indians in Florida. Os course these marvelous tales were copied and credited to the j Savannah Georgian, and that paper is likely to get a reputation for keen op tics which will render the use of specta cles or eye-glasses entirely supurfluous. The last effusions of this wild son of Momus, which has attracted our atten tion, are his Augusta letters, in which he has used the names of our citizens in an unbecoming and unworthy manner. His comments on the death of poor Da vidson are painfully absurd- and his conclusion that “ a disgusting specta cle of wretchedness” is calculated to fan the flame of self-destruction,” indi cates that his logical powers are as char acteristic as his other literary attain ments. He is welcome to all the consolation; or amusement he can draw from his al lusions to us, —for after this, of course our readers will have the most implicit confidence in his startliug rumors and wonderful disclosures. It gives us no pleasure to thus show up the imposture practiced by them Bufferable egotist who has been impos . ing on the public with his ridiculous effu ions in so many questionable shapes. We merely make these statements from asense of justice, that readers, and ed itors may guard against givingcurrency to bis impertinent and groundless ru mors. It is because we regard with insufferable contempt the practice of inventing “ sensation paragraphs, ” which has disgraced so many of the Northern papers, and will result if tole rated, in utterly, and deservedly de stroying the character and influence of the Southern press. In conclusion, we disclaim any inten tion to deal discourteously towards Mr. Lamar the editor of the Georgian— our purposejis simply to show up thefantastic tricks which his “funny man” has been playing—and we could not do so with out using the name of that paper in connection with them. Nor have we any intention to deal rudely with the funny man himself ; our purpose beingsimpb to divest him of his assumed übiquity, to show up his mischievous, and exe crable propensity for rhetorical plati tudes and sensation paragraphs—in short, to offer a palliative for the diar , r hoea of words which if not stopped, threatens to be the literary, if not the literal death of him. The Charleston Hunk*. The Charleston News says : “ Upon inquiry we learn that the Charleston private Banks are adding largely to their present good supply of specie, and by the Ist June will have great strength in that regard—probably a million and a half dollars. It|is also expected that those suspended will resume specie pay ment about that time. They are able to do so now, but inlend to consult poli cy and convenience.” This is a most astonishing assump tion, when the issue of that paper has hardly reached its distant subscribers which contained a Bank statement showing that one bank alone had a cir culation of about $1,750,000, and that the specie in most of the specie paying banks had decreased during the last month. During a visit to Charleston last week in which we talked freely with the di rectors of some of the largest banks in the city, we heard no expression of in tention to resume, before fall, and this new resolution to resume about the Ist of June, looks like a sudden and signifi cant change of purpose, or a rumor cal culated to bolster up the sinking credit of Carolina currency in the interior. If > the Carolina banks really intend to re sume about the Ist June, why do they < not say so, explicitly. If they intend t to consult policy and convenience, we < greatly fear the day of resumption is t not at hand. f - i isr Hon. Edward Everett will de- 1 liver his oration on Washington, at Nor- • folk, Va., Friday, May 14. Some of the papers are still indulging 1 in vituperative slang about Edward Everett, and his Southern tour. The , foily of such intemperate fanaticism f bears its own refutation where ever it loes. s (IP We notice that Mr. Charles Par ker, “an educated and intelligent deaf mute,” having failed to make a raise, as some others have done, in the lotte ry, which he patronized freely while t here, has gone to Montgomery, where •' he invites the citizens to buy his mute . charts, and thus aid a child of silence. ( Charles is a very nice young man. , Central Route Aorta. We find the following letter in the Columbia South Carolinian, written on board the North Carolina, May Ist. A s it gives some interesting information in refeernceto a favorite route North, we 1 copy it for the benefit of summer tour ists and others who may be travelling in that direction. Going four hundred and sixty-one miles in twenty-three hours, is certainly not tedious travel ling, and the comfovt and general at tractiveness of the line, in connection with the trip on the Bay, so warmly commended by the writer, must render this route a favorite one with the tra velling public. We expect to “sam ple” the comforts and peculiarities of this line in a few days ourself, when we shall speak of it more fully : The new schedule on the Charlottee and North Carolina Railroad by Raleigh, works admirably and successfully, and the travelling community begin to ap preciate it. Just think of our leaving Columbia on Thursday evening, at 7 o'clock, and taking supper on Friday evening, on board the tine Chesapeake steamer, on soft crabs and oysters. The I trip from Columbia to Portsmouth, four | hundred and sixty-one miles, is made j in twenty-three hours, averaging twen | ty miles per hour, inclusive of all stop pages. No time is lost on the road, and you reach Weldon at the same time as the other train by Wilmington, which starts four hours sooner. Who wants to travel faster ? You take breakfast at Haw River, and dine at Weldon, at friend Moody’s, where you have a good dinner, and arrive at Portsmouth at 5 p. m , to take the steamer up the Bay. The North Carolina Central Road is the finest in the United States, and it is managed, as are the others on this line, with great care and effici , ency. A great relief to passengers is the new arrangement of a baggage mas ter on the Raleigh and Gaston road, to ■ change checks and save them any trou . ble about baggage, at the great confu sion of Weldon, where so many roads meet. 1 We have so often described the de lightful trip on board the North Carolina . or Louisiana, that it is scarcelv admissi ble to repeat it, but we may say that in our idea it is the perfection of travel- I ling, after a long and dusty ride, witli stratum after stratum of dust and lush es covering you before your time, to lie reduced to them, almost fossilizing you, ■|it is delightful to'get the comforts ot . i these noble, steamers, where you can j enjoy free locomotion, delightful air. ’ j beautiful scenery, with the pleasure of good company, and a supper to satisfy i the most capricious. You have river navigation qnd sea air, with the most entire satisfaction that any one can en joy in travelling. We cannot too high [ ly recommend the advantages of the j | Bay line over any route to the North ! Railroads are essential f, r speed, but I there are no comforts in them—hen ’ j you really enjoy yourself, and are well ; i rapid for your patronage. The steam \ ers are admirably managed, and the po liteness and courtesy of the officers most -; agreeable. The sight of the full moon f rising, on the calm and placid bay, was worth a day’s travel to the’ sea, ■ and the enjoyment of the evening ' was protracted to a late hour of th« . beautiful night. After the recent cold r snpp, we now have sweet and gentle weather. 3 1 The gong is ringing up for breakfast i —go more anon, A Traveller. Ellliu Burrltt, the Learned (JJ) Blacksmith, The St. Louis Leader, of the 30th of April, holds the following idea of this person, which is fully endorsed by all who have ever sounded the intellectual depths of his ocean of knowledge : “We have the honor of knowing , this famous erudite ; and we can safely say that we have seldom met any person who hail less need of a language in ad , ditiou to his own vernacular, very poor . ly spoken, to express his ideas in’. The only difference that we could discover between the philological attainments of Elihu and a clever Poll parrot is,that Poll learus tongues by speech and Elihu I by pocket dictionaries. Both under i stand the dialets they profess about , equally well. Elihu reads his tongues the better ; Poll speaks them the bet ter. As statesmen, and especially as i editors, they would be much upon a I level. We have seldom, though not a , . little conversant with human silliness, 1 ' had the satisfaction to converse with] ■ any weaker person than Mr. Burritt.— ! We talked with him upon his favorite subject, Universal Peace ; and found his notions about it not beyond those of a child. The same of emancipation and everything he prates about. We’ve no doubt but that he was, in a pre-exis eut state, an exceedingly green and vol uble parrot.” No less than one thousand five hun dred places for the sale of liquors, dry goods and cigars, were open in New York, on Sunday last, in direct violation of the laws of God and man. If the above is true, several silly Sab bath breakers must have spent the whole day in getting the information. (IP A Methodist minister named T. Lean, was arrested and taken to De troit, Michigan, a few days ago, charged with robbing the mail. A Man of Mixed Tastes. Bayard Taylor in a recent letter, says : I wish it to he understood that I nev-l er set up for an ideal. Quite the con trary. My tastes are really of the real est kind, including rocking chairs, oys ters, fast horses, Christy’s Minstrels ia ger beer, macaroni, Havana cigars, Fie-1 mish artists, sausages,salt-Lathing,pick- j led herrings, the raising of vegetables,! Newfoundland dogs, camp fires, sailors,. lumber-men, uneducated men, and sin ners generally. A colored man named Jacob Bel), wasj was found dead near Wrightsville, Pa., a few days ago.

The morning hour was occupied with the presentation of memorials aud con- ( sideration of private business. Mr. Iverson introduced a resolution having in view the establishment of a Custom-house, at Atlanta, Georgia; | which was passed. A hill authorizing the Secretary of ' the Treasury to sell the Custom house i property at Bath, Maine, was passed Mr. Toombs, at his urgent request. ' was excused from further service on the ' Committee on the Judiciary. I Mr. Douglas from the Committee on ■ Territorios, reported a bill authorizing the President to have run the boundary ‘ between the territory of the United i States and the State of Texas. Mr. Broderick called up a resolution inquiring of the Postmaster General relative to certain charges against post master Weller, at San Francisco. The further consideration Os the sub ject was, after debate, postponed fill to morrow. Mr. Hamlin made a speech against the fishing bounties. The Senate, after an Executive ses sion, adjourned. HOUSE. f lh • House passed the hill making appro;, iitions for the Executive, Judi cial, and Legislative expenses for the . year ending June 30. 1859. 1 Mr. Ritchie, of Pa , made a speech against the resolution reported from the Committee on Indian affairs prop- s 1 ing to abrogate thcClayton-Bmwer Irea I ty. lie argued I hat there is no partial .- lar emergency which require- it. The ■ treaty, when made, prevented a collis i ion between Great Britain and the Uni ; ted States and preserved peace. It was dictated by good sense and good feeling - on both side. He could see no reason i for the abrogation of the treaty, except 5 a desire on the part of the United i States to seize Central America. s Mr. Clingman said that, we ought to t be free from the treaty, so that when t we wish to acquire that territory, we 1 may do so lawfully. I Mr. Ritchie then characterized the . Ostend manifesto an evidence of covet -6 ousness and imbecility, t Mr. Kelso moved to lay the resolution s on the table, but the question was deci - ded in the negative -yens 47, nays 107 s The resolution by a vote of — yeas 97. ; nays 85, ordered to be engrossed But no o further proceedings were had upon the i- subject to day.

The Hr* at Kngllsia lira 111 y Married. Hy the arrival of the steamship Bo russia. we learn that the young English, lady, Miss Smead, who. for four or five] years past, has been the leading belle of fashionable society in Paris, was re cently married to George Pese, Esq., one of her Majesty's attaches to the British Embassy, after refusing the brother of the Earl of Carlisle. She was very fascinating in her manners, and lmd long held the palin of beauty i against all competition. Wherever she ■ went, whether to the opera, to the ball, i or to chapel, all eyes were fixed upon her. At one time it was even said that Louis Napoleon himself was in danger of falling at her feet, and that the fair , Eugenie insisted upon her name being i struck out from the Imperial invitation : list Whether all this be true or not, says a Paris correspondent, it is certain ; that she has continued to be, up to the . present time, a subject of perpetual ad miration on the part of the male sex, i and of very considerable abuse on the part of her own, who seem to be not a little relieved at her removal from the! charmed circle of female competition. Tine- Solicit Carolina linnk.s. The Georgia Banks having resumed , specie payments, it becomes a more in teresting question, what will the South Carolina Banks do ? Most of the press . o'| that State, whose opinions we have . seen in print, advise against an attempt to resume specie payment at present, and some of them contend that the reso j lotion of the Augusta sand Savannah Banks to refuse receiving notes of the suspended banks of South Carolina at par will be found impracticable- that ' self defence and the laws of trade will compel them to accept them. However j this may be. we think it apparent, from a statement recently made, that the hanks of Charleston cannot safely re sume specie payments for some time to come. T his statement was made at the end of April, and show that though all - the suspended banks of the city gained > considerably in specie during month of April, their joint circulation is still more ; than four timesgreater than their specie; ? and this is indeed nearly the proprotion ; of er/eAof them except the Bank of South - Carolina and the Bank of the State of ; South Carolina—the former of which has ; less than two dollars in circulation for ; one in specie, and the latter more than ; twenty-three to one! They have also ; aggregate deposits double the amount e of their specie. Their resources in bills t maturing is not stated in the table be - fore us. The three banks of the city , that pay specie—the banks of Charles r ton, State Bank and Union Rank—have s all lost in coin since the first of March ; s and this is not an argument calculated hj to hasten resumption by the others— Columbus Enquirer. ggerfal gtoffat ' (IT Devilled Terrapins and TERRAPIN SOUP will be served up TO MORROW, (Tuesday.)

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR v I DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach q | has lost the power of duly converting food into a ; . life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single j i course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric i fluid re acquires its solvent power, aud the crude 3; nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to the sufferer, while his digestive organization was I paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created in the system, the ’ basis of activity, strength and health. “j The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the -! acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux j j or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- !

As ar. appetiser it has no equal in the Pliarmacopia. j 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 either sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing ' wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn ; man of business, the victim of nervous depres-| ■ sion, the individual suffering from general do 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 ‘ren > vat or.
