At three o’clock yesterday afternoon that beautiful and favorite river steam er, “Swan” Capt. Johnson, left her wharf with between two and three hun dred persons, bound on an excursion down the Savannah. We could not re sist the temptation which the occasion , offered, for a brief respite from the | drudgery of pen and scissors, and found; ourself in the midst of the happy throng, composed chiefly of those, to | ’ whom, as tous, the occasion was a rare 1 iespite from the active duties of busi ness. It is not generally supposed that the j monotonous borders of onr muddy riv-; er afford any very attractive scenes for j the painter’s art or the writer’s pen.— ■ But to one caged up within the dingy! walls of the workshop, or office, the broad old fields, and verdant woodlands ; teem with beauty. -■ Where a blue sky and slowing dime extends He h s the cassion and the power to roam ; The desert forest, cavern, breaker's loam, ASa to him companionship. 1 And, though there be little to vies-j tribe, theirs was much to injoy, in our! serpentine meanderings along the bor- j ders of the cotton-fields, by the green dells of the forests, and in the varied j xdtanges of the couirtry»landscape. And, Mist this assurance should still leave; doubts upon any who have not “viewed I the land-scape o’er,” we shall be par-j dnned for enumerating some of the nat ural attractions which present them seive:' to the eye of the river tourist, and which possess interesting associa tions. Among the first objects of special in terest. arc the broad sloping precinct? of Sand-bar ferry—somewhat celebrated in the annals of the code duello. It j has become a favorite resort for gentle men in search of halm for wounded; honor that the weed grows on! a duelling ground, or from the fact that! those who have wasted powder and cold lead here have been singularly safe; from danger—deponent saith not.—j But certain it is, Sand-Bar Ferry has a place—a broad, shady place -on the riv-1 er, and green place in the 1 memories of many who have trembled \ amid its sulphurous records. Nearly opposite, “Chalk Bluff” rears; its hold pate as if frowning upon the bloody plain we hay s just surveyed.—j- This spot is memoraible from an Indian | having once jumped from it into the] river, to escape from fills pursuers. Next, we believe, in interest, is Bugg’s Bar—whether called so from j once being the property of a gentleman 1 of that euphonious nan ie, or the haunt of a numerous tribe of creeping insects, j we cannot say. This is in low water, the terminus of river navigation, and; were it not for Augusta aud Hamburg,; it would doubtless become a city of im portance. The excursion extended only to the; vicinity of Twine's bar, which also of fers a serious barrier to river navigation,: and in very low water imped* is the pas sage of boats entirely. The river in this; vicinity is skirted by the fine t Id plan tation, after whose owners the terry re-j eeived its name. i The rich luxuriance of the Beech! Island farms was brought to view timid | the dense foliage on the-Eastern shore,j - and beguiled the fancy of these blind to ■ 1 the charms of the sandbars aforesaid. While we were busy gathering up nni-|, terial for this contribution to the his- j ] torical collections of the region, the j young folks were discoursing the elo- | quenceof the light fantastic too. Some J i “like swift Camilla, scarce skimmed” i the lower deck .while others hobbled be- j tween a wince and a waddle, through the mazes of the dance. Others, more sedate, beguiled the hours in social chat in the cozy cabin, while a few quietly resorted to the consoling halm of spirit- ual consolation. Smjth, of Rose Cot- j tage was there with his cooling luxu-r ries ; and nothing occurred to detract in the slightest degree from the enjoyment j „. 1 * of the occasion. Just at sunset the bell announced ourj approach to the city, and the Swan gii-;' ded gracefully to her mooring, and the I crowd dispersed. May we not haw one of these excursions every week, during the summer mouths ? If properly man aged, they would be liberally patronized by all classes, and would mid much to the enjoyment of the “Can’t-get-away- Clul) ” So mote it be. In the haste of getting to press a little j earlier than usual, on yesterday, anum-j her of gross typographical errors occur-j red in the communication from Wabben| Platt & Brothers. We reprint it to-j day, carreeted. J Improved Potent Hoop Shirts. Having* lively regard for the com fort and genteel appearance of the la dies, we feel that we are in duty bound to notice the improved patterns of crin oline now for sale at the popular milli nery establishment of J. Henev. They are called the “Bridal Skirt,” and differ materially from any that we have seen. Os course no description of them is ne cessary, as the ladies will examine for themselves. — Raffle, A beautiful painting of The Madonna is to he raffled as soon as a few more chances are taken. It may be seen at the music store of Geo. A. Oates & Co. f*;" A small negro boy, the property of Mr. Spikm, of Hamburg, was drown ed in Savannah river on Sunday last. — A young man in town discovered a run away negro near Bbook’s Mill be low Hamburg, this morning. In trying to arrest him, a bunch of keys was ob tained, which may be seen at this office. The negro was very hack, and wore a goatee. Don’t Shoot. We the other day heard a right good | joke on a young gentleman from the | rural districts, who came to .Augusta about a year ago. At that time the “man with the trumpet” surmoun : ted the Hook and Ladder engine house, jon Jackson street. The young man ] came down or the night train, and de i sired to stop at the United States Hotel. WitH carpet bag in hand, he tore himself ; away from the drummers, and proceed ; cd down Tackson, to Greene street.— i Here he was confused, thinking it must be where the hotel was located, the ; street was so broad, and houses were so numerous. He had heard of city watch i men—and seeing in the gray twilight ; the image on the Engine Hosse, he sup posed it to be one of those sentinels of ! public safety, and sung out— “ Hello, stranger, is this the way to tlieStates?” The statute was dumb. Approaching still nearer the young j man saw the extended arm, pointing directly towards him, and mistaking it 1 for a gun levelled for shooting, he again sung out— “ Don’t shoot, stranger—don't shoot i —l’m jest in from Marietta, trying to find the way to the hotel,”—and he took to his heels, and never stopped' un ! til he struck the river bank, when a [ fisherman took him in charge and put 1 him under the guardian care of Clark, that humane and considerate friend of j the travelling public. [COMMOWICATED.] New Yobs:, June Bth, JBSB. i To the Editor (jf the A uy, Evening Dispatch. Dear Sie Through the kindness of ' Mr. .!. E. Monger, we received a copy j of your journal of May 31sc, containing 1 a letter from Apr ten’s agents of the | Kerosene Oil Co., against us. In justice ' to us, you will please give thisan inser ; lion iu your valuable paper, and also an 1 extract from a letter of Mr. Mi ncer to i us, fully explaining the matter of the [•explosion. You will perceive that the ! Oil in question, was manufactured near | Cincinnati,-Ohio, and a very different j article from our funnel Coal -Oil, and ) also that Mr. Munger had not received our oil until nearly two weeks after the i explosion. You will also notice the j feeling that.induced the “Austin's” to i publish the article-after the thing was ! explained to them It is very evident that they consider cjs dangerous rivals j and did it to injure us, in the estimation I of eur customers abroad; but it will be ! seen, they arc only doing us good, as it | gives us more celebrity than many ad ! vertisements would. Besides calliug j out-such manifestations as expressed by our friend Mr. Monger, “Austins" have tried to injure us often times be i fore, hut a discerning public are not so easily deceived. We know our oil is ! .superior to any ever befote used. It is ! not Etpkisive; is fifteen per cent cheaper than Kerosene. “Live and let live,” 'is our motto, and we are willing to 1 stand or fall by our own merits ami not, by traducing others. Again we say., ourj ! oil is not explosive, has not the disagree-' able ordor., and does not smoke, .as the j “Kerosene.” In conclusion, we would invite your citizens to call and examine for them selves. They will find the “parties doing business at 290 Greenwich street, New York,” happy to see them, and will soon con* ince them they are not “ un principled dealers” that apply the name Kerosene to their Oil,” as we were convinced that was no recommendation! long before we ever thought of entering I in the business. Yours, Respectfully, Warner, Platt & Brothers. Agt., Cannel Coal Oil Co., 290 Greenwich street. We have also received a note from Mr. J. E. Monger, in which he states that the article which exploded did not come from New York at all. Mr. Hunger al so states, that, the article alluded to as coming from the Greenwich street par ties, had every quality of the Kerosene oil, and did not smoke. Both Eides having been heard through our columns, we hope they are satisfied of our willingness to do them equal jus tice, and we wish them all the success they merit in their enterprising efforts to furnish the world with a cheap means of illumination. Ed. Disparch. Grasshoppers.— The Talladega Watch tower, of the 9th inst., says: We regret very much to learn that the grasshopper, which has infested Tex as for several years,has made its appear ! unce in our section. They are doing , i very material damage to corn, cotton and the gardens in some localities. They I seem, as yet, to be confined iu their op • eiations to low swamp lands. We hope j ; °ur crops are so far advanced that they j J will not prove generally destructive. [ Written for the Dispatch.] MOUNT VERNON. Although no marble column, With its splry crest on high. Points out the i rave of Washington, His fume can never die. ■ Although no sculptured monument Preserves his deathless name. Ob, Washington ! thy- country’s love Must ever be the same. Sleep on, thou great and nobly good ; Thy childre n love thee most; Par dearer still to the gallant free ' Than all that Greece or Rome can boast. Those holy heights where thou hast trod, Where thou wert woDt oft to retreat The silent shades of Vernon’s sod Are trod by the hermit’s feet. No massive gates your entrance bar ; No gloomy low browed arch of stone, Like Moses, on Mount Pisgah's top, Thou hast thy sepulchre alone. Lons J. a.,M. D. Burke County, ffn., June, 1858. [From the Charleston Courier, 14 th tnsf.] From Havana ami ICey West. i By the arrival of the Isabel at this port, we have Havana and Key West advices to the lOtli inst. The news is ! of considerable interest, and the details will be found in. another place. 1 From Havana we have accounts of e one or two additional “British outra- ges”—just enough to keep the patriotic ball in motion. Our correspondent, 1 however, flatly contradicts the story of - the landing of the British marines near Cardenas, over which so much vir ’ tuous indignation was expended some 1 weeks ago. It is very likely that oth ers of the reported “outrages” will at last share the same fate. It is alleged that the British cruisers are sailing un -1 der tho old printed orders in reference - to the suppression of the slave trade, .. and our correspondent thinks that these I tresp sscs upon American rights have resulted from the indiscretion of offi e cere, and their hankeringafter the prize o money which comes from the capture of slavers. The U. S. steamers Water Witch and Fulton, and the British * sktop-of-war Devastation, had been at - Havana. Commander Alnty, of the f , Fulton, paid the latter a visit, hut we have nothing as to what was said or done on hoard. The Devastation came o; from and returned to Bermuda. There had beer, heavy rains at Havana and Matanzac—the latter oity being flooded, j The health of Havana was not good, ? | and yellow fever was prevailing among ; I the shipping. The sugar market for the 'j fortnight had been growing more firm, ‘: the chief demand being for the higher ’* grades i'nr the north of Spain markets. ! The stock on hand at Havana and Ms I I tauzas was about 200.000 boxes. Mtts covados were rather dull, hut the few ’ sales shew an upward tendency. 8 i Tfco British gun boat Jasper had sail - ed from Key West in search of the .J Styx, having on hoard despatches from ! the British Admiral at Jamaica, eon ' | taioing orders—as it is supposed—for ,: the discontinuance of the boarding f| of American vessels. Our oorrespon- I dent gives an interesting account of an : interview between Lieut. Pym, of the Jasper, and the U. S. Naval Officer at Key West, to which we refer our rea ; ders. Lieut. Pym says that he and all I his consorts arc acting under the old ' suiting orders of 1849, and suggests ‘ I that the capture of the SlOft,oooslaver / prize—of which we have already had ,j accounts—as the cause of the increased ’j activity on the part of hlte 'British J cruisers. He also asserts that the news- Cpaper reports of “outrages” are very ■ | much exaggerated; that he is ready to 11 explain each and every case of board >|ing; that the routine of examination ; of American vessels has been conduct ed in an unexceptionable manner, and r, has not exceeded the instructions ; and t j that if any of- our national rights have I; been invaded,his government. alone is i “to answer forit. Lieut. Pym also com :!;plainsof the manner in which Amert ; j can vessels raise their flag—that they ({ run it upandhaul it down again before t; the wind unfurls it so that its national t character can be distinguished. t The U. S. Marshal, at Key Wesi, had t seized the brig Huntress as a slaver. ! Fifteen Tiiansa n<l Dollars Lost ami Found. The Cincinnati Enquirer relates a story . of a wealthy citizen who went on ail Eastern tour a few weeks, and in his j 'Various devotions worshipped largely at . ithe shrine of the vinous god. While in ’ New York he received $15,000 in gold, • and placed it an his trunk He then , visited Washington, where the politic (loans and liquor made liiut completely oblivious. nndfi t this state Us trunk d's ; j appeared from his hotel. When he so- I bared tip, the loss was discovered, hut ~ Che money wasn't. He returned to '! Cincinnati a sober and wiser man. On; . his arrival at the Spencer House an ex press bill was presented for the carriage j . of a trunk. He refused to pay the bill, denouncing it as a swindle, and finally protesting that the trunk was sot his. A closer examination, however, satisfied him that it was, and on opening it tfifc ; sls 000 war there! He had forwarded j it, unknown to himself, on his drunken ! j spree. i **•- ffr 'lie following circular has been ! issued f*m the office of the Comptroller j j General: To the Receivers of Tax Returns op I the State of Georgia Having been!' 1 called upon frequently by Receivers of ; Tax Returns to be informed what pen- ;, alty attaches to a tax payer, where he i makes a fraudulent return, by refusing i to give in all of his property, or neglect- ' \ ing, or refusing to put a proper value ;; upon the same, I take this method of-in forming all that the Supreme Court has ! 1 declared the following privisiofi of the * act of 1804, to he in full force, viz : s “Sec. viu.
