Thompson, Esq., for i many years connected with the Constitu l tionaliat in this city, as Commercial and s News Editor of the Evening Dispatch. 1 We have long felt the need of a com* ' patent assistant in these departments, and congratulate our readers that we have seemed one so well known as an , accomplished ntwapaper man, and so well qualified to advance the claims of the Evening Dispatch as an enterprising and reliable medium of commercial and gen- V: eral intelligence. ij Danfort!'* Self*GciiciatingGaß, ? We are using one of these new .j lamps, placed on our table by Messrs. S. S. Jones & Co., and find it the most ‘ agreeable substitute for gas that we have seen, and very similar to it in appear ance, while it is more convenient for portable uses, and less expensive. It is simply the gas from the common turn ing fluid, generated as the lamp burns— and may be used in any fluid lamp, by getting a burner instead of the old tube and wicks. To persons on the band Hills, or in any locality having no gas works, this will be found a desirable light. Messrs. Jones & Co, have on hand a large stock of lamps, embracing almost every variety. Dr. Hoynton—Concert Unit. To-night closes the series of lectures on Geology, and is the last opportunity that will be offered to hear this gentle man. His subject will be the Crealim 0/ Man and Human, and God’s Rest from his Labors. The lectures of Dr. Boynton have been attended by largo and appreciative audiences from the first, lie possesses all the qualities of an attractive speak er, and presents his subject in a style adapted to the comprehension of every hearer. He is doing much to popular ize science, and to create a taste for the investigation of scientific principles. To the masses, the opportunity of ac quiring such knowledge by other means is limited, and therefore we always hail the advent of a scientific lecturer as a great public advantage, and earnest ly hope that the success which lias everywhere crowned the labors of Dr. B. will induce him to repeat his Southern tour at no distant dav. Petit Jurors. 'The care exercised by our County Sheriff, and his indefatigable Deputy, during the late term of the Superior Court, in the selection of jurymen, was generally observed and commended by those who were in. attendance. There has been great negligence in many places in this matter, which has detract ed much from the administration of justice, and we feel that those officers who are vigilant and faithful in keep ing the unworthy and incompetent from our jury boxes, deserve the most cordial appreciation by the press and all good citizens, CHy Court. This body has been in session during the week. After disposing of the com mon law docket, the court was occupied on the various indictments for selling liquor and trading with slaves. Os the forty-five true bills for those offences, about twenty-five have been disposed of, most of them pleading guilty. The fines range from $lO to SSO, and costs, according to circumstances. The following is the list of Grand Ju rors for the present week : L. A. Duo as, Foreman.. Wm.H. Salisbury, Tiios. H. Metcalf, Tijos. it, Rhodes, F, A. Whitlock, A. W. Walton, Jajif.s Millek, Wm. C. Derby, H. C. Bkyson, Edward Henkell, Charles Dwelle, Jos. Milligan, Benj. C. Dimick, Henry D.Bell, 1 ranch) 11. Cook, Wm. Hoi sley, Josefh C. Karoo, Lemuel Dwells. Edmond T. Murphy, John Kirkpatuiok John D. Smith, Ciias. I’. M Calla,Charles Hall. The defence of one of the accused —a German citizen—a son of St. Cris pin, who sells lager beer, and makes boots and shoes—caused. some merri ment in the court room. Hans has, wi learn, been—as most of the Germans are —a good and orderly citizen ; lie has, to use bis own language—lived “ twelve years in town and fourteen in thecity”— and paid diligent attention to the soles as well as the stomachs of his fellows.— This fact he wished to impress upon the Judge, and he would evidently have made a very good speecli in his native Teutonic, though he found it very diffi cult to “ lay himself open ” so as to In understood in English. But he wai dealt with lightly, and came off ahoui as well as those who feed the Anglo Saxon Knights of the green bag. Almost a Serious Accident. We understand that two negro men. who were yesterday working with a jacl screw on the railroad bridge, were pn cipitated into the water by the sen v losing itsboid. Luckily, assistance was near at band, or both would have In < n drowned. One of them, when picked up, was nearly exhausted. Ourselves, J he life of an Editor isan arduous one, tis true but the bitter is sometimes accompanied with the sweet, in thej! shape of occasionally a kind remem-!: brance from an old friend, who know-! 1 ing that our time is precious, sometimes anticipates our very wants. This was our fortune this morning. We were ■ regretting that we had missed the op portunity of testing the quality of Schneider's Clam Soup, when 10, and be hold ! who should enter our sanctum but a boy from bis saloon, with a waiter, laden with several bowls of delicious Clam Soup, with necessary accompani ments. Reader it would have made 1 you feel had you seen us partake of it. We can assure you that it was not many minutes before we were scra ping at the bottom of the bowl, in search of more. Whenever you see in our columns “ Clam Soup served up to morrow at 11 o’clock, at Schneiders, ” if you do not pay him a visit, all wc have to say is, you will miss a dainty dish not enjoyed by mortals every day. —— Distressing Casualty. A little son of Mr. Flurry, of Ham burg, aged about nine years, met with a horrid death on Tuesday morning last. We understand he got out of bed about seven o’clock in the morning, and taking up a camphene lamp, emptied its contents on the floor. He then proceeded to his brothers room, procured a match, ignited the camphene, and was immediately enveloped in the flame. Before assistance could reach him, he was so badly burned, that he expired about two o'clock the same day. This should be another warning to parents, whocontinueto use this danger- > ous fluid, to keep it out of the reach of their children and careless servants. Fine Cattle. A fine drove of Beeves passed our of fice yesterday afternoon. Should any j of them fortunately meet with an accident in'being driven on board the cars for •diipment to our lucky sister city— Charleston—our citizens may look out for some good Beef in market. City Mortality. The number of deaths in the city last week was six—four whites, two blacks. Cotton Cultivation In Algeria. The Debats admits, in the course of an article on the cultivation of cotton in Algeria, that the results hitherto ob tained by planters have by no means re ■dized the extravagant hopes originally entertained in France. In spite of gov ernment premiums, extending from oOOf. to 20,000 f., and every species of official encouragement, the cultivation does not prosper. In 1854, the planta tions covered an extent of 4250 acres ; in 1855, 0250 acres; but in 1850 and 1857 they were reduced to less than 5000 acres, and it is scarcely possible that this figure can be attained in the present year. The Algerian author ties, amazed at this unsuccess, and desirous of discovering the secret of the failure, submitted the question to agricultural committees; but the contradictory re plies of the latter threw no light upon thej subject. The Debates attributes their unsuccess to the following causes : Colonists were enticed by extravagant statements to cultivate more laud than their means could afford ; when, there fore, their hopes of realizing large prof its were dispelled, they hastily aban doned a cultivation which cost them much money, trouble, and axiexty. The dry soil of Algeria renders irriga tion indispensable; consequently, tin* tracts at present favorable to cotton plantations are limited in extent.— Finally, the absence of capital and hands has exercised an unsatisfactory mfluencejon the development of the pro duction. Our contemporary does not. however, despair of the steady progress of cotton in Algeria; only it bids fare well for a time to the ambitious dreams which saw in the French colony a tri uphant rival of the Southern States of the American Union. Mutually Complimented. —A young ind pretty girl stepped into a store where a spruce young man, who had long been enamored but dared not speak, stood behind the counter selling dry goods. In order to remain as long as possible, she cheapened everything, and at last remarked : “ 1 believe you think lam cheating you." “Oh no!" re plied the youngster, “ to me you are al ways fair." “Well," whispered the lady, blushing, as she laid an emphasis on the word, “ I would not stay so long bargaining if you were not so dear." Romantic, Very. A celebrated cantatrice, now “star ring" it in Paris, lately received from a Muscovite prince, a handsome brooch in diamonds, in acknowledgment of admiration; but not wishing to accept a gift, the motive of which might be misconstrued, she returned it with warm thanks. Next day she received a letter frdtn the prince, approving highly of her decision, but the writing in this letter had a singularly glistening ap pearance ; and it was afterwards found that the magnate, not to he outdone in generosity, had reduced the returned diamonds to tine powder, with which he had besprinkled the wet ink, and had thus insured the acceptance of his homage. Casualties. The storm of Friday night hist was very terrific in the neighborhood of Mr. Wm. Walker's at the lower Plank road toll gate. He and Mr. Kenrick (his neighbor) suffered seriously in their jrops from the heavy hail and severe wind. Corn was cut to pieces, fences were prostrated, and at Mr. Walker's me chimney and a part of the roof of he dwelling house were blown off. We lear of no injury to life or limb. Two mules were drowned in Sleepy ■reek owing to the swollen condition of he stream They were the property of lagood but were in the useofWm. 'die who was hauling corn with them. Too storm of rain was also heavy in the Dark Corner, washing the lands and injuring some plantations very seriously, — E i, Jictii ntivcinscr, Zndtnst.

Summer breeze, Springing grass and verdant trees, Silve. y strenms and bright leaved flowers, „ Changing clouds and cooling showers. i Welcome songsters of the wood, Who stag tho songs of Nature’s God ; Prom every thought of sadness free,’ They warble, ever joyously. Nature, in her gayest dress, Appears the type of loveliness ; Brightness greets on either hand— Beauty smiles o’er all the land. Oh ! could oar hearts receive the light That come from flowers so fresh and bright, And the blithe songsters of the air Leave a soft murmuring there : Then happiness would light each eye, Ami tears ne’er dim their brilliancy ; Gladness would reign in every heart, And beauty to each face impart. Narrow Escape from Premature llm- Inl. A singular circumstance took place in Blandford, Va., on Tuesday. The facts are given by an informant of the South Side Democrat, as follows: A negor woman, named Martha Saun ders, had been ill some time past, and on Monday morning her family and friends assembled around her, and took, as they thought, their final farewell. She ap peared to expire about 10 o'clock the same day, and the ceremonies of prepar ing lierfor the grave were duly perform ed, and every preparation was made. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, some minutes before she was to be carried to her last resting place.much to the aston ishment of those present, she reared her head, and finally sat erect in her coffin. A general stampede took place among the darkies who came to attend the obsequies, and so stupefied with fright were those who remained that some time elapsed before assistance was rendered her. A physician was sent for and stimulants administered, which considerably revived liar, and at last accounts she was improving, lint it is ■ not thought she can survive longer, than a few days at farthest. Items of Gossip. Mr. Guyon, the pianist, was recently married to young lady of New York so ciety. She was extremely young. Mtisard. in New York ; it is said that I a series of promenade concern, under his ; direction, will be attempted during the | summer. We predict that they will succeed. An amateur opera was recently per , formed at the house of a gentleman of New York. It is called Flora, or The Gipsy’s Frolic, and is the composition of I)r. Thomas Ward. The perform ance was strictly private ; and in it were engaged a number of ladies and gentlemen well known in musical cir cles A young man named Cooke, not yet • twenty years of age, who sings in the choir of Dr. Osgood’s church in Broad way, has been recently making a sensa tion by his performances at private en tertainments in this city. His voice is a tenor, of extraordinary compass and quality ; at once rich, sympathetic, sweet and delicate ; and is pronounced very generally to be the most delight ful tenor now in the country, except ; Brignoli’s, and only to need cultivation I and development to rival any ever heard i in America. —New York Day Book. A C'urolsliy. An English paper publishes a sketch . of the life of a prisoner, composed by himself in Winchester jail. The origi nal is in the shape of a printed book, the letters and words ail having been cut out of white paper by the man with his finger nails, as no knife or scissors were allowed. After cutting out the words suitable to his purpose, he care fully pasted them in proper order to form a small book, comprising twenty two pages. A piece of poetry, address ed to the prisoner’s wife, is included in this singular literary curiosity. Mrs. Goldschmidt (Jenn> Lind) re cently gave birth to twins one ofeadi sex.

We feel that we are doing our invalid readers an in ' valuable service if we can induce them to get a bottle of Dr. Sanford’s Invigorator, and take it, 1 for we know from personal experience that it is , oue of th, ‘ greatest remedies so general debility | and consequent inactive bodily powers ever be fore used.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining element, 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 the BUfl er, while bis digestive organization was . paralyzed 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, Tic-dolorous or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter ■ rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with i paralysis,; borne down and dispirited bv -i ■ teniblelassitude which proceeds from a • t j nervous energy, or experiencing any i ~.4 m or disability arising from the unnatural condition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo , tiou 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 iu I declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has over received from the hands of ■ medical men. Morse’tf Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im ’ mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite, j While it renews the strength of the digestive 1 powers it creates a desire for tho solid material which is to be subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal in the Pha -rnacopia. If long life and tho vigor necessary to its on -1 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 1 wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn . man of business, the victim of nervous depres , sion, the individual suffering from general de bility or from the weakness of a single organ , will all find immediate and permanent relief from . the use of this incomparable uinvaior. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it i will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard against that terrible m ilady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their coustitu j Don that they think themselves beyond the reach of medicine. Let not even those despair. The , Elixir deals with disease »s it exists, without re ference to the causes, and will not only remove the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution I.OSrf OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de • s‘ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, Irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe f males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of tho heart, impotcncy, constipation, etc., from ■ whatever can c arising, it is, if there is any reli ' auce to be placed on human testimony, absolute ly infallible.

Ayer : You** Pills arc the pc tection of medicine. They have done my wife more g *od than I can tell you. She had been sick and pin ing away for months. Went oil' to be doctored at great expense, but got nob. tier. Slic then commenced taking your pills, which soon cured her, by expelling large quantiti s of worms (dead) from her body. They afterwards cured her and our two chi.dren of bloody dysentery. One of our neighbors had it bad, and uiy wife cured him with two dosci of your pills, while others around us paid from five t • iwentv dolt | i'irs doctors’ bills, and lost much time, withou ! eing cured cat rely even then. Such a medi, cine as yours, which is actually good aud houest will be prized here. GEO. J. GRIFFIN, Postmaster. Indiyeslion and Impurity of the Blood. From the Rev. J. V.

From a Forwarding Merchant of St. Louis, February 4, 1856. Dr. Ayer—Your pills are the paragon of all that is great iu medicine. They have cured my little daughter of ulcerous sores upon her hands end feet that had proved incurable for years. Her mother has been long g; i< voualy afflicted with blotches and pimples on her skin and in her hair. After our child was cured, she also tried your Pills, and they liavo cured her. ASA MORGRIDGE. Rheumatism , Neuralgia and Gout. From the Rev. Dr. HAWKINS, of the Metho dist Episcopal Church : Pulaski House, Savannah, Ga., ) January j Honored Sir--I should be ungrateful for the relief your skill has brought me if I did uot re port my case to you. A cold settled in my limbs and brought on excruciating neuralgic pains, which ended iu chronic rheumatism. Notwithstanding I had the best of physicians, the disease grew worse and worse, until, by the advice ol'your excellent agent in Baltimore, Dr. Mackenzie, I tried your pills. Their effects were slow, but sure. By persevering iu the use of them I am now entirely well. Senate Chamber, Baton Rouge, La., ) December 5. 1855. j Dr. Ayer—l have been entirely cured by your pills of Rheumatic Gout—a painful disease that had afflicted me lor years. VINCENT SLIDEIJ. For Dropsy, Plethora, or kindred Complaints, requiring an active purge, they are an excellent remedy. For Costiveness or Constipation, and as a Din ner Pill, they arc agreeable aud effectual. Fits, Suppr ssiou, Paralysis. Inflarnmal on, and even Deafness, aud Partial Blindness, have becN cured by the alterative action of these Pills. Most of the pills in market contain Mercury, which, although a valuable remedy in skilful haDds, is dangerous in a public pill, from tho dreadful consequen es that frequently follow its incautious use These contain no mercury or mineral substance whatever. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoarl, For the rapid cure of COUGHS, COLDS. HOARSENESS, INFLUENZA, BRONCHITIS. WHOOPING COUGH, CROUP, ASTHMA, INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION, and for the relief of consumptive patients in ad vanced stages of the disease. We need not speak to the public of its virtues. Throughout every town, aud almost every ham let of the American States, its wonderful cures of pulmonary complaints have made it already known. Nay, few are the families iu an\ civd ized country on this coutmcut without some personal experience of its effects ; and fewer yet the communities any where which have not among them some living t ophy ot its victory over the subtle und dangeious diseases ot tbe throat and lungs. While it is the most power ful antidote yet known to man for the :ormnia ble and dangerous diseases of the pulmonary organs, it is also the pleusantest and safest rim eoy that can be employee .or iuluuts auu young persons. Parents should have it in store against the iusidious i nemy that steals upon them un prepured. We have abundant grounds o be lieve the Cherry Pectoral saves more lives by tbe consumptions itprevoutsthan those itcures. Keep it by you, and cure your colds win e they are curable, nor neglect them un'il no human skill can master the inexorable canker that, las tened on the vitals, cats your file away.
