This is a neat and attractive- volume of 315 pages. The author is not famil liar to us, but from a cursory examina tion of the work it appears will. The author seems to be an Alabamian, and the plot of the story is laid in that State. This of itself is a decided re commendation; give us home stories, where the material is so good as it is with us, in preference to searching the dilapidated ruins of the old world lor a subject. We shall embrace an early opportunity to examine this work in detail. Book Table* Graham''* Mayazine; Guiy* Lady's i>\<. V; and the Latins //v Ma;azi , for June have all beeureceived.

Increase of Pay* The Naval Committees in both Hoi:.- esof Congress have agreed to report j favor of ■■ - • ■ ■ S . |) :kc:>. This may tv proper enough,though the scramble for preteraace and place, such as we have witnessed on acevr.ut some of the navy officers being put n the retired weald seem to indicat-. that the offices vc re much sought or notwithstanding the small ay. But when we take into recount the fact, that several hundro . mechanics have been disehaiged free, the public works in Washington. ,mi thousands from the Navy Yards at Boston, New York and Norfolk, bccav.se there is no ~, . t money to pay them, we tit savors of favoritism to increase the ray of of ficers. while the men are turned out to starve, or seek employment elsewhere. wi»o Got the $-1.0- - : A correspondent of the New York T; as. says the witness Slade, examined in Philadelphia, accounted for the di tination of the total eighty-seven thous and dollars expended by Lawrence, Stone x Co., in procuring the passage of the Tariff Bill.

The re- j mainder was distributed among outsi ders—no member of Congress receiving any except one, who borrowed a hun dred and repaid it. The Committee have but one more witness to examine, j unless he implicates others. Battle Monument. A monument is now being erected on ] the plains of Chalmette near New Or- 1 leans, commemorative of the great vic tory won by the American army under ' Gen. Jackson on the Bth of January 1815. The obelisk is to be entirely of white marble, and 150 feet it height. It is to : have an inner stairway running up * through the entire shaft. There is now material on the ground for the erection of about 6ixty feet which will be put j into form within the next three months. ; From Texas. The New Orleans Picayune learns that ] at 11 o’clock on Sunday morning last, j Sth inst., the steamboat Grapeshot, Capt.

A freight barge, in tow was saved and towed back to Galveston by steamboat Island City, Cant. J. H. I Sterritt. We take the following paragraph i from Galveston Xeu* of the Bth : From all sections of our State, except in the grasshopper region, we have the most flattering accounts of the growing crops, and the prediction that crops of all kinds will be larger than have ever been seen in tire Mate before. It has j been estimated that the cotton crop' will exceed a quarter of a million bales, j and that.the wheat crop will not fall ( short of two and a half million bushels, j Sugar cane is looking remarkably fine.,, the late rains having been of immense j service to it; and of corn there will he j, more than enough for all the wants of! the people. Altogether, we can con- ;< gratulate ourselves on our prospects, ! and that we are anything but behind in i, the race of progress. * The Susquehanna Sickness'. One of the crew of this vessel, has published his ideas of the cause of the Yellow Fevei, which made such sad havoc among-his shipmates. He says tire provisions were short, and the men were put upon short allowance of very poor food, which with the exposure to the climate, in iris opinion, was the sole cause of the sickness. _———— New y.itjaor Law. Judge Shaw, of Massachusetts, in a j trial for violation of the Liquor Law. : jn that Siaie, has decided that a liquor shop, or place where intoxicating drinks ! .are sold, is a public nuisance, and that j any person has the right to enter such and destroy the liquor in any way he ! 1 may choose. This decision is a decided improve-!’ ment on the “Maine Law,’’ and if it is i. the Law of the State, will place the ii- j quor sellers in a precarious position.— j Who will doubt the soundness of Mas-1 sachusetts 1 fanaticism after this’ Southern Commercial Convention, 1 Fifth Day—Morning Session. Friday, May 14, 1858. The Convention wets called to order by the President at half-hast nine o'clock a. m. The Slave Trade Resolutions were disposed of after a brief concluding speech by Mr. Sint att, on a motion to lay upon (he table and print. A series of resolutions relative to the importance of establishing Americans ;in Central America, and to the policy the General Government pursued in the affairs of that country, were then brief ly discussed, and, in the afternoon were amended and passed. Their purport as amended, is that the South will condemn a persistence in the late policy of our Government in that direction. Mr. Brkkenridge, of Louisiana, said that Mr. Kiiiuko, of Georgia, would of fer a resloution, at his request, because the Louisiana delegation, being equal ly divided upon it, he did not deem it proper to offer it himself. Mr. Kijiuro theu offered the follow ing resolution : AWtcii. That it is expedient for any State, or its citizens, to attempt to re open the African Slave Trade, while that State is one of the United States The resolutioh was laid upon the ta lks President announced the follow ing gentlemen as a committee to pre pare a call for the next Convention: B. Deßow, of Louisiana: John A. cjuitman, of Mississippi Woi, L. Van eev, of Alabama: Guv M. Uriel- of Texas: and W H. Chase, of Florida. The Committee having reported i agamst a resolution m nierence to the appointment of a committee of three | to visit, examine an-i report upon the I iron rolling mill of Atlanta, Georgia, Mr. Steele, of Georgia, moved that , the report of the committee be disagreed j to, and that the resolution be adopted. | The motion was agreed to. The President subsequently announe ed the following as the committee ; Messrs. Steele and Holcombe, of Ful ton county, Ga., and Mr. Lochrane, of Macon, Ga. A resolution by J. A. Jones, recom mending the Governors of the Southern States to call a Convention to take into consideration the critical position of the South, and if possible to devise safe guards for her equality in the Union,or a plan to go out of it, was laid on the table, all the States save Louisiana vo ting to dispose of in that way. The business committee reported back various matters which had been referred to then. A motion to pay the pages of the Convention S3O, and divide the funds that might be left equally among the ! presses of the city, who had furnished j daily reports, was agreed to. , After the usual complimentary reso lutions the Convention adjourned to meet at Vicksburg, Miss., on the second I Monday in May, 1859. Thus ended the Southern Commercial Convention for 1858. It has done less, jif possible in a practical direction, than -any one that has preceded it. Hon. Ed. Everett. At his lecture at the University of j Va., Dr. S. Maipih, Chairman of the ! Faculty, introduced Mr. Everett to the I audience. There were, perhaps, 900 j persons present and tiie amount of mo jney received was $424,50. The stu- I dents had made preparations to serenade Mr. Everett, at the residence Dr. JSciiele de Yere, (whose guest he was) j but a violent rain storm, prevented the . band from attending. The Father of Daniel Webster. George W. Nesmith, Esq., lias pre ipaied a very interesting memoir of Judge Ebenezar Webster, the lather of ' Daniel Webster. The memoir shows an amount of public service rarely be stowed by a single individual. He was ja “selectman'' in Salisbury nine years, town clerk three years, representative ! four years, Senator four years, a dele gate to. two State Constitutional Con j ventions, Elector for President when Washington was first chosen to that of jfice, a county magistrate thirty-five j years, and a Judge of the Court of Com jmon Pleas fifteen years. The office last ! named he held at the time of his death iin 180 C. His age was sixty-seven years. | Judge Webster also filled several offices |in the village church, was elected, mo derator of the town meeting in Salis bury forty-three hmea ; he served in the [old “ French War,” was a captain in | the military during the Revolution, and ja colonel in 1784. He served in the American army atCambridgeduring the “siege of Boston,” and took part in the I battles of White Plains and Benning ton. He afterwards participated in the j events of the war in Rhode Island, at West Point, and on the Northern fron tier Mr, Nesmith says: “As an offi cer, Mr. Webster was beloved by his sol ' diers, and always had their entire con fidence. He was born to command.— j ,He was in stature about six feet ■ of a massy frame, a voice of great compass,, eyes black and piercing . a countenance! iopen and ingenious, and a complexion i that could not he soiled by powder. He I was the very man to head the proud j columns of the Sons of Liberty. ’ Hoa. Edward Everett. Since this distinguished gentleman started on his mission in behalf of the Mount Vernon purchase, lie has been i ruthlessly assailed by parties wiio ean j not bring their minds up to the belief ! that any thing good can come out of 'Nazareth. We would sooner trust the j interests of the South to Edward Everett than in the hands of his assailers. — [While he has a patriotism as large as the Union, their vision does not ex jtend beyond the limits of their own | neighborhood. Change of interest, cli mate and location would make men of j such narrow prejudices the worst of Abolitionists.— Athens (Tenn.) Post. THELATEST HEWS. I BY TELEGRAPH Later from Europe.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR ‘ DrAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach ‘ lost the power of duly converting food into a [ life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single ’; course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric j fluid re acquires its solventpower, and the crude , nutriment, which was a loiyl and a burthen to > 1 the sufferer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. 1 ■ The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux or ordinary headache, afflicted with vaguo ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, fborne down and dispirited by that j., 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 i’ ery member with the source of sensation, mo i tion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of this Cordial, which at ouce calms, j invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous : organization. Females who have tried* it are unanimous iu i declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the ha*‘ds of; medical men. i Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im j mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. ' While it renews the strength of the digestive! ; flowers it creates a desire for the solid material i .1 which is to be subjected to their action. As ar. j appetiser it has no equal in the Fharmacopia. | If long life and the vigor necessary to its on- j joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of j j proof® is worth ! Its beneficial effects are not confined to either j j sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing I ! wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn i 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 i ! will all find immediate aud permanent rclh f from ; the use of this incomparable ren-valor. To i those who have a predisposition to paralysis it! i will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard j I against that terrible malady. There are many! j perhaps who have so trifled with tlieir constitu- j ! tion that they think themselves beyond the reach j ! of medicine. Let cot even those despair.
