Important lrom Washington,
The English Di.gjalrhes.~~ A dispatch
from the New York Tribune, relative
to the tenor of the dispatches received
from the British Government, finds ap
parent confirmation in the following
dispatch dated Washington the 19th :
Dispatches have been received from
Mr. Dallas, at the State Department,
cove: ing.the response of the Britishgov
ernment to the letters of Secretary Oa6S
upon the recent searches of American
vessels in the Gulf. The pith of these
despatches is, that, while England disa
vows all authority for any offensive acts
that may have been committed, and
while standing ready to make all the re
paration that may be required, she is not
at the same time, wilting to abandon the right
of visiting all vessels that mag he suspected of
living engaged in the traffic of shires. In other
words , the most effective measures mil still he
used for its suppression. It is, however,
tlie desire of the British Government
that these visits may be made in the most
acceptable manner ; and to secure this, the
English minister for Foreign Affairs
would tye pleased to receive such sug
gestion as the Cabinet of the United
Stales may be disposed to make. The
tenor of these dispatches being entirely
unlooked for, has created no little feel
ing on the part of the President, who it
is confidently predicted, will insislalonce
upon, the abandonment of the position which
England asserts her intention of adhering to.
In other words, the right of visit will not be
conceded hg Mr. Bachaneen in any shape what
ever.
An American Boy In Mexico.
We learn from a Mexican paper that
a rencontre had occurred on tiie Pasco, i
the public drive of Mexico, between an I
„ Englishman named Buchanan and Mr. I
John Forsyth, Jr., son of the American '
Minister, the circumstances of which, j
are as follows:
Young Forsyth repulsed some offensive
familiarity of the Englishman, to which
the latter made an insulting rejoinder,
whereupon the former made a demon
stration at the Englishman, andacollis
ion took place. They were both moun
ted, and the Englishman, who was both
much the larger man and mounted upon
a larger animal, lodeatand attempted
to ride down young F. F. who the while
had lashed the Englishman with his
whip, finding lie was no match for his |
adversary on horseback, dismounted'
quickiy, and handing his reins to a by- j
stander, challenged Buchanan to alight j
andfight him on foot. This Buchanan de
clined and rode off. They met again !
atter a while, and upon the recontrc a I
chcveil being renewed, young Forsyth
again dismounted, and drawing his
unifo started at tile Englishman, who i
precipitately lied, Forsyth after him i
until a number of gentlemen interfer
red and begged him to desist, as the 1
Pasco, was not a proper place for light
ing.
Can’t Pltauc Old Maids.
, The editor of a country paper, having
been taken to task by a female cor
respondent for noticing Dr. Hall’s re- i
cipe to prevent ladies from taking cold, j
viz: “ lo keep the mouth shut’’—hits
back as follows :
•‘We never could make ourselves
popular with old maids. Do what we
would—squeeze ’em behind the door, j
which they dearly love—Hatter ’em on
the sofa—dance with ’em at parties—
take ’em to sleigh rides, and treat ’em
to ice cream, oysters, ‘kisses'—in short
attend ever so gallanteto all their wants
save making them a direct offer—and
the moment our back was turned they
1 would turn to and show their teeth, j
(falseones, of course.) Well, hope de-,
ferred maketh the heart sick, and we
can’t blame ’em.”

- Tlu- Postmistress Measuring her
Sliure of Letters#
There is a new town in the northwest
called Burton (contraction of Beartowu) i
At this point a post office has been cs
lablislied ; tnc route extends some dis
tance beyond, and there are several of
fices further on. Soon afler the estab- i
iishtnent of the office at Barton, the
pastmasters beyond began to be troubled j
by a strange Irregularity in the mails.
This week, one thing would be missing,
'.lie next something would be non e°i ,
quite often letters for Barton wmuld
have to bo sent back. J'liis state of af
became unendurable, and agent
Hal! was sent on to investigate the mat
ter. He went straight to Barton,where
he found the post office in the back
room of a little grocery. It was about
time for the mail to arrive, and he took
a seat in the grocery, where a plump!
and good natnred woman,well in years, i
and possessed of a "rich brogue,” at-!;
tended behind the counter, dealing out |
small quantities of beer, cheese, cakes,!
peanuts, etc., to a company of loun-!
gets, who seemed to wait some event.
Hall brought a quantity of peanuts i
and treated the crowd to beer, by which [
course he succeeded in removing all,
suspicions which His dcacent garb crea
ted against him. Soon the stage drove 1
up, and the mail bag was thrown out : I
the lady picked it up and retreated to j
the back room, followed by the crowd \
—including Hall, who blocked up the !
door.
ifter opening the bag, and turning
its contents on the door, the postmis- 1
tress produced a box, and deliberately
proceeded to measure out a peck of mis
cellaneous matter from the pile on the
floor. Having done this, she commenc
ed returning the rest, when Hall found
his tongue. ,
‘ Why, what are you doing there ?' ’
he contrived to stammer out.
“ Include,” said the postmistress,
looking up, “ it’s changing the mail
that I am.” r
“ But how do you know that you get \ \
the right matter ? Why don’t you look 1 1
it over and select your own ?”
haith, an its a fool’s job you’d be ,
afther havin’ me do.” replied her lady
ship. “Ican’t read niver a blessed’
piece of ritin and when my son Jim
(he’s bad school laming’) ins’t here, J
just measure out our sheer.”— Washing- 1

“Bill yon young scamp, if you got l
your due, you’d get a good whipping.”
•J know it daddy, but bills are not
always paid when they become due.”
The agonized father trembled lest bis <

Horrible Case of Marines* Ip a Horse.
I On Sunday evening Mr. Barney went I!
| to drive his horses into the stable, when
; one, that had hitherto been very gen

in the yarn.
I About midnight the neighbors were 1
alarmed by an awful bellowing and “
! groaning, and coming to the yard where :
; the mare was confined, found that, she (
! had attacked a calf in the yard, and had !
; literally stamped it into the ground.—
| She had also bitten one or two cows,
taking as much as a pound of flesh out
iof one. The men now succeeded in
driving her into the stable, when she
; commenced tearing the flesh from her
i own fore-leg, anil stripped it completely ;
; off to the pastern joint, when the own
jer, having procured a gun, put an end
to tiie creature’s misery.

j Harper’s Weekly givesan account of:
Salt Lake City, from which we learn!,
that it is four miles in length liy three!

!of ground. The streets are laid out at!
right angles, and are each 122 feet wide. >.
; The sidewalks are twenty-eight feet in

j each house shall be set twenty feet from !
tiie street, and that shade trees shall be
‘planted in front. Each block from .
street to street is fifty rods square, and |,
eight building lots are allowed to each
block. The dwelling houses are mostly i
long one-story brick buildings. The
city lias a pleasant appearance The

Hr. Wm. C. Bryant, in a letter from j

and in his grave. He had fought a
j hard battle with poverty, and had just ,
won it; orders were beginning to come \

'great grief, when he breathed his last, j

In Cincinnati, last week, a wager was
made by a Scotchman that he could t
kill twelve rats in regular dog fashion j
in less time than aScotch terrier,ftmous <
i for his destruction of the noxious ver- j i
| min. The man and the dog were placed
lin the ring, and both went to their 1
j work energetically and bravely The hn-!
j man creature would snatch up the rats i
lin his hands, and biting across the i
I bock of the neck afid spine precisely as 1
the terrier, kill them at once. Both !
j did well, but the man killed his twelve
jrats just as the dog had finished his
tenth. When the Scotchman came out
of the ring,he wascoveredwith blood and
his hands were bitten in various places,
] but he seemed to care nothing for his
i wounds, after having obtained n tr

A True Story.
; Most of the temperance stories of tiie
I day are weak and washy dilutions of
: t,le preceding ones ; but the following
1 1]as il Startling vigor. Daniel Bryan, as
j appears from the context, had been a
; lawyer of eminence, but had fallen,;
j tlilough intoxication, to beggary ami a
; dying condition. Bi-van had married
iin his better days, the sister of Moses
' Felton.
| At length all hopes were given up. i
IV eek after week would tiie fallen man
| lie drunk on the floor, and not a day of
, real sobriety marked his course. J
j doubt if another such case was known.
|He was too low for conviviality, forl
those with whom he would have asso-'
tinted would not drink with him.
All alone in his office and chamber 1
he continued to drink, and even his I
life seemed the offspring of his jug.
It was early spring. Moses Felton had j
a call to Ohio. Before he set out he
visited his sister. He offered to take
her with him, but she would not go.
“But why stay here?” urged the;
brother : “ you are faded away, and dis
ease is upon you. Why should you live!
with such a brute ?”
“Hnsb, Moses, speak not,” answered
the wife, keeping back her tears. " I
will not leave him now, but he will
soon leave me—he cannot livo much
longer.” -
At that moment Daniel entered the
apartment. He looked like a wanderer
from the torn!). He had his hat on and
a jug in his hand.
“Ah, Moses, how are ye?" he gasped,
for he could not speak plainly.
The visitor looked at him for a few
moments in silence. Then, as his sea- •
i tures assumed a coid stern expression,;
jhe said with a strong emphasised tone :j
| ‘ ‘ Daniel Bryan, I have been your best!
I friend but one. My sister is an angel,'
Shut matched with a demon. 1 have!
jloved you, Daniel, as I neverloved man!
| before, you were noble, generous and 1
| kind; but I hate you now, for you are'
j a perfect devil incarnate. Look at that j
! woman She is my sister; she might!
jnow live with me in comfort, only she!
i will not do it while you are alive ; yet;
: when you die she will come to me.— •
Thus do I pray that God will soon give!;
j her joys to my keeping. Now, Daniel, I
I do scincercly hope that the first intel
ligence that reaches me from my native!
place, after I have reached my new!
J home, may bo— that you are dcael !"
j “ Stop Moses, I can reform.”
j “ You cannot- it is beyond your pow-!,
| er. You have had inducements enough!
ito have reformed half the sinners in ;
creation, and yet you are now lower
than ever before. Go and die, sir, as ,
soon as you can, for the moment that! j
I sees you thus, shall not find me among!
the mourners.” j,
Bryan's eyes flashed, and he drew
(hjpiself proudly up. “Go," he said!
’ with a tone of the old powerful sarcasm, j
“ Goto Ohio, and I’ll send you news.—j
Go, sir, and watch the post. I will yeti
intake you take backs your words.”
! “Never, Daniel Bryan,never!”
| “You shall! I swear it!”
! With these words, Daniel Bryan hurl- j
jed bis jugjinto the fire place ; and while j
I yet a thousand pieces were flying over;
the floor ho strode from the house.—j
!Mary fainted on the floor. Moses bore;
her to the bed, and then having called |
in a neighbor, lie hurried away, for the'
; stage was waiting.
For a month Daniel moved over tliej
brink of the grave, but he did not die.!
“One gill of brandy will save you,”)
; said the doctor, who saw that the abrupt
|removal of stimulants from the system!
that for long years had subsisted on al
most nothing else, was nearly sure to
prove fatal. “ You can surely take a
'gill and not take any more."
“ Aye,” gasped the poor man, “ take;
a gill and break my oath. Moses Fel-i
; ton shall never hear that brandy or rum I
(killed me! If the want of it kills me, j
(than let mo die! But I won’t die;!
(I’ll live till Moses Felton shall cat his)
i words.”
He did live! an iron will conquered
'the messenger that death sent—Daniel!
! Bryan lived. For one month he could I
j not walk without help—joyful, prayer-j
ful help. Mary was his help.
A year passed away, and Moses Felton!
I returned to Vermont. He entered the
Court House at Burlington, and Daniel!
Bryan was on the floor pleading for a
(young man who had been indicted for!
ifogery. Felton started with surprise.— (
i Never before had such torrents of clo-!
iquence poured from his lips. The
|charge was given to the jury and the)
!youth was acquitted. The successful
(counsel turned from the court room,;
jand he met Moses Felton.
They qhook hands but did not speak.!
I When they reached a spot where none
others could hear them, Bryan stopped.'
“ Moses,” lie said, “do you remem
ber the words you spoke tome a year;
; ago ?’’
■ ■ i do, Daniel.
j “Will you take them back- unsayl
| them now and forever?”
“ Yes, with all my heart.”
| “ Then lam in part repaid.”
| “And what must he tiie remainder of]
j the payment ?” asked Moses.
“1 must die an honest, unperjured;
mar.! The oath that has bound me;
thus far was made for life.”
That evening Mary Bryan was among [
the happiest of the happy. No allusion'
was made in words to that strange
scene of one year before; but Moses
could read in both the countenances of
his sister and her husband, the deep
(gratitude they did not speak.
! And Daniel Bryan yet lives, one of
| the most honored men in Vermont.—
j Five times lias he sat in the State Legis
lature, thrice in the Senate, and once
!in the halls of the National Congress.

GENERAL REMARKS—As usual at thesea-on |
of th j year, we have but little change to notice I
in prices of leading articles, and the remarks of
last week are applicable to most articles this. I
There is a fair stock of .roceries on hand, and 1
a fair business doing with the country in tilling
small orders.
HARDWARE—Our market is now well sup i
plied with every description of Hardware, and i
every assortment of Iron. We will venture the,
assertion that there is no article in this tine tliat;
can be purchased in New York, but the bill can ;
be duplicated by our merchants, and at good ;
living protlts. The reason of this is, our dealers!
hold heavy stocks, and import the most of their j
| goods direct from Europe.
; HATS and SHO. S—Fair stick.-, and, for the!
j season of the year, a good business doing. We!
J aro gratified to see that business in both the;
; ab .°f e branches is yearly increasing in our city,
f DRY GGOTTS—SIock, equal to demand. Not
i much doing in the wholesale line. In the retail I
I "ay most of our dealers are daily receiving new !
I goods, and we are glad to see that the ladies
keep the young geutlemen behind the counters 1
I busy in overhauling their new and fancy pat-j
! terns.
| READY-MADE CLOTHING—Market well sup j
plied, and as most of our merchants are prepar- j
iog for their winter supplies, they are selling at'
i the present time cheap.
:
WHEAT—The receipts still continue very light 1
j for the season, and the principal purchasers are |
; our city millers. Prices are still irregular, as 1
l the sales are too lin ited to establish a regular !
: market, there being no export demand. A lotj
of old crop Red would bring from 80/2)87
; cents bushel. White is scarce, and would
j command 90/2SI 10, according to quality and i
j quantity. No New Wheat Irom Upper Georgia !
l or Tennessee yet received. A lot of good White j
would no doubt bring our highest quotation.
I FLOUR—This article is dull of sale at present I
I quotations, as the demand is mostly confined to
j home wants. Fair stock on hand. We quote j
1 City Mills, in bags, superfine in bar- :
I rels $5 ; Extra, in bags, $6 : in barrels, $5J£ ; 1
j Extra Family, in bags, $6 : in barrels
Extra Family, from New Wheat. s6*j.
FLOUR BAGS—We have an establishment ini
this city on a somewhat extensive scale, and!
they are daily turning out two b i.-hrd shirting'
Bags at 12 cents, Drilling 14}£, an i O-riaburgs, ■
at 17 cents.
CORN—This article is scarce and prices have j
advanced, but as the demand is confined to sup- {
plying home wants, one or two large lots would 1
supply present necessities- By the lot,"in bags.!
it is held at 75cents : Irom Stores 80/2*87 cent *
is asked.
BACON—The market is well supplied with in
ferior lots, which are difficult of sale, while
; choice lots are scarce and more sought after at
| full rates. [Prices continue very irregular for
| the former description, and take a wide range.
We quote Shoulders 7/2)7>£, as in quality ; Ton
; nesseee Hams loose 8/2)112; Canvassed 12/2)14 ;
j Sides, ribbed. 10/310 ; Clear IG^/S)ll—the j
last sales principally at the latter price. Not
much selling hog round prices rangr from 8/2)
I B*4 cents—principally at S;£.
LARD—Supply fully equal to demand. In bar- j
rels it is worth J1 and in cans and kegs 12>£ 1
/213 cents.
COFFEE—Supply light, but all sufficient for;
the demand. Rio Is selling at 11#, 12 and 12‘ a i
cents, according to quantity and quality.
SUGARS—Fair stock on hand for the season of j
the year. We have no change to notice in prices 1
MOLASSES—Moderate stock of Cuba—no New i
Orleans in market ; Cuba is selling from Stores, j
in small lots, at 24*2)26 cents.
BAGGING—Demand limited to planters orders, j
Fair stock on hand. Heavy Gunny is selling at
15#/2)i6c. from store ; light 15/2)15# cents.
ROPE—Good stock on hand. Hand-m&do Ken-’;

WHISKY—-Not much demand. Holders of fa- :
! vorite brands aro asking 28/2)35 cents 4n small
I lots. Common can be purchased at 22/2)25 ets.

with those numbers on the Tickets printed on
“operate slips of paper, are encircled with small j
. tin tubes and placed in one Wheel.
The first 457 prizes, similarly printed and en
circled , are placed In another wheel.
The wheels are then revolved, and a number
, is drawn from the wheel of numbers, and at the
same time a prize is drawn from the other
' wheel. The number and prize drawn out are
: opened and exhibited to the audience, and regis
tered by the Commissioners; the prize being
placed against the number drawn. This opera
? tion is repeated until ah the prizes are drawn out
Approximation Prizes.—The two preceding
and the two succeeding numbers to those draw
ing the first 7 prizes will be entitled to the 28
Approximation Prizes. For example : if ticket

GROVER & BAKER’S
SEWING MACHINES.
K EASONS why the Ghover & Baker
Machine is universally preferred for family
sewing:
1. It is more simple and easier kept in order
than any other Machine.
2d. It makes a scam which will not rip or
ravel, though every third stitch is cut.
3d. It sew r s from two ordinarv spools, and thus
all trouble of winding thread Is avoided, while
the same machine can be adapted at pleasure
by a mere change of spool, to all varieties of work
4th. The same machine runs silk, linen threap
and common spool cotton with equal facility.
6th. The seam is as elastic as the most elastic
fabric, so that it is free from ail liability tobreal
in washing, ironing, or otherwise.
6th. The stitch made by this machine is mor.
beautiful than any other made, either by ban
or machine.
Merchants can secure the sales of these Ma
chines in their different localities, with profit to
i themselves and their customers, by apply ing to
tbe undersigned, owners of the Eight for Georgia.
These machines are always ou exhibition at
their Sales Room, on Broad street
