We have not room to-day for onr re ply to the article in this morning’s Con stilutionalist, in reference to our allusion to its State Eoatl figures. We will at tend to it in due time. Another Earthquake j There was a severe earthhquake shock in Tortuga! on the 11th ult. Every house in Lisbon was shaken. Many chimneys were knocked down, walls cracked and thrown down, in Lisbon, but it appears that no building was de stroyed, and that one death alone was caused by the falling of a wall half built at the Polytechnic School. At Villa franca another death took place, and a good deal of injury was done to the houses at Ciatra and Mafra ; but of all the accounts hitherto received, those from St. Übes, about eight leagues from Lisbon, on the south of the Ta gus, are the most distressing. A great j 1 number of houses were thrown down, and some of the inhabitants buried in the ruins, but no authentic accounts have yet been received of the number of deaths Jg” The City Council of Columbus at a late meeting, fixed the officers’ sala ries, for the ensuing year, as follows : Mayor, SI,OOO Marshal, 800 Deputy Marshal, 800 City Treasurer, 760 Clerk of Council. 750 Sew Counties. The late session of the General As sembly of this State, created seven new counties, making the whole number of counties in Georgia, one hundred and thirty-three. The new counties are as follows: Clayton, from parts of Fayette and Henry. banks, from parts of Habersham, Hall and Fanklin. Quitman, from parts of Stewart and Randolph. Nelson, from a portion of Gordon. Echols, from portions of Clinch and Lowndes. Johnson, from portions of Mont gomery, and several others not recollec ted. Brooks, from portions of Lowndes and Thomas. Hon. Matt Ward. —This gentleman, recently appointed by the Governor of Texas, United States Senator from that State, in place of J. Picknky Hender son, is a native of Georgia. He was bom in Elbert county. His father, while Matt was very young, moved to Madiso.: county, Ala., where he grew up to manhood. In 1336 he moved to the Republic of Texas, where he has re mained to this time. Nett Weight of Hogs. At this season, the following table for determining the nett by the gross weigh t of hogs, may be useful to dealers in pork. It is based upon the Kentucky rule —that is, for one hundred pounds gross deduct twenty-five pounds; foi the second one hundred pounds, sub stract twelve and a half pounds, and for the third one hundred pounds deduct six and a quarter pounds. All over three hundred pounds is calculated as nett: 100 will nett 75 205 will nett 167 106 will nett 79 | 210 will nett 174 110 will nett 83 ; 215 will nett 176 120 will nett 92 220 will nett 181 225 will nett 96 225 will nett 186 130 will nett 101 j 230 will nett 190 135 will nett 105 | 235 will nett 195 140 will nett 114 i 240 will nett 200 150 will nett 118 j 245 will nett 209 1-55 will nett 124 j 250 will nett 214 160 will nett 127 j 255 will nett 218 165 will nett 131 ; 260 will nett 228 170 will nett 136 I 270 will nett 232 175 will nett 140 j 275 will nett 237 180 will nett 143 | 280 will nett 237 185 will nett 149 | 285 will nett 246 190 will nett 153 | 290 will nett 251 195 will nett 158 I 295 will nett 256 200 will nett 162 j fisT The Memphis Eagle and Enquirerl announced a few days since that the services of Hon. Jere Clemens had been secured as editor of that paper. Freedom or the Press in Spain.— Spanish editors deserve great credit for their persistence in expressing their opinions, notwithstanding the formida ble opposition they meet with from the government. It will be seen by the following statement that they maintain the point of free discussion at no tri fling cost. On the 28th, La Espana was complained of for a third time, andsuf sered a fine of SSOO, incurred under the section of the law respecting the press, which furnishes the supposed evil in tention in official acts. The next daj it was promised that there would In cause for a fourth complaint, which was duly made, ami resulted in a fine of $1,750 and costs, with the foreiture of that number of the paper. Within tin last four months the fines imposed on the journals at the capital amount to the sum of $4,350, there remaining four cases yet to be adjudged with the Espana, one with the Parlamento, om with the Novidades, one with the Lear: Eepanol, am) one with the Iberia. As Arab Magician.- C.leb Lyon, of Lyonsdale, in his lectures on Egypt, re lates some remarkable tricks that were performed by an Arab magician. A cane was handed to the party for in spection, and proved to be a plain stick, on which the knots of the limbs wen visible; on returing it to the conjuror however, it became a serpent, andwrig gled about for a few minutes, and thei suddenly became a stick again. The trick, which is said to be a comrnoi one with the Arabs, was repeated sever al times. The next trick was mon startling. A black liquid was poure* into the boy’s hand, and in it, as in mirror, one of Mr. Lyon’s companion a native of South Carolina, beheld rice plantation of his own State, an his father, who had been dead man years, riding through the fields oi horseback. Florida. Prof. Steuckrath writes as follows to Deßow’s Review : “The town of Quincy was laid out in 1825 by Dr. D. L. White, now a resi dent, about four miles from the court house. It has been celebrated for its schools, and also for the enjoyment of health. Northern invalids have chosen it in preference to a more exposed situ ation on the coast. Its distance from the capital is about twenty-two miles, and about forty miles from the Gulf of Mexico. St. Marks is its shipping point although it has access to Apalachicola by the Apalachicola river, which is dis tant only twenty miles. The streets are laid out at right-angles, and the main streets are all eighty feet wide.— The population is from one thousand to twelve hundred. The public buildings consist of a Courthouse, Market-house, Methodist Episcopal, and Presbyterian churches, the Academy premises, and Masonic Hall. The Courthouse is a commodious and neat edifice, with wings which contain fire-proof walls for the preservation of the records of the court. The business here is now limited, though formerly it was very large ; upon which there are nine resi dent lawyers of fair reputation depen dent. There are also six reputable physicians, whose practice extends throughout the county and adjacent county. Gadsden county is the princi pal tobacco region of the State. Large quantities of the leaf-tobacco, for wrap ping cigars, are made in this county to the amount of from $200,000 to $300,- 1 000 per year. Most of this tobacco is f principally sold in the town of Quincy to the agents of the German houses who congregate here for the purchase direct ' ly from the planters. This staple be ’ ing sold for ‘cash,’ brings in a large • amount of ready money before the cot ton crops can be made available. The cultivation of this article has exerted a tine moral influence upon the lower classes of society, from the fact, that needing hut little capital, it has stimu lated their ambitiou to accumulate and render themselves respectable. In other countries children are considered an in v cumbrance to the poor man, but here f they constitute the basis of his fortune ] which is abundantly illustrcd by many J living examples throughout the coun- H try. Many men, who could scarcely make a living for their families in 1830, 1 when the culture of the Florida leaf tobacco was introduced by three Virgin j ia gentlemen, Jos. Smith, Win. S. Gu peri, and Harris T. Wyatt, are now men of large wealth. Besides this tobacco, 1 Gadsden county produces a large quan tity of both the long and short staple cottons, which sustains a large mercan i tile business, conducted by about a doz en establishments. The planters are making generally as much sugar and ' syrups as are.necessary for domes ic con - sumption. ‘ ‘ The town is situated on elevated j ground, surrounded by numerous bills, giving to it the appearance of an up country village. “An arrangement ha 6 just been made j- by which the Pensacola and Georgia Railroad is to be extended to this town * on its way westward, which will facili -- tato and advance the business prospects s of the place. This is also the point at • t which it is contemplated to form a con- J nection with Albany, in Georgia the the present scheme of internal im f* provements is carried out, Quincy will e be the point for the junction of the - Georgia and Florida Railroad connec tions.’’ Georgia Conference M.

The Frigate Niagara—Scenes on board, I The officers on board the U. S. Fri- j gate Niagara, which touched at New York from Monrovia direct, on Satur- j day, have furnished quite an interest ing log of their voyage. We quote as follows: strange iiabits. The strange habits and customs of these poor creatures were a constant study and theme of remark among the officers and men, and at times afforded no little amusement during the voy age. We had on board, ns an interpre ter, one of the crew of the Echo, a Por tuguese named Frank, by whom alone we were able to hold communications with them; he talked in Portuguese, which some portion of the Africans ap peared to understand pretty well. Each morning, when the decks were i washed down, the occasion was improv- j ed to give the whole party a cold bath by playing the ship’s hose upon them, which they appeared to enjoy in a high degree, shouting, yelling, jumping and ■ laughing with delight. They appeared to have a spirit of clanship, and divi ded themselves into parties for mutual protection; this was particularly the case among the boys, who would not ’ tolerate any invasion of their rights; . their blankets, food and clothing they ’ guarded with great jealousy. On ac _ count of their thieving disposition, ’ however, there were frequent wrangles, " but the sentry always prevented them 5 from assuming a serious form. At night, old sails, hammock and loose . bedding were spread upon the deck, “ when they would roll themselves in j their blankets, and the whole party crowd into a compact mass for mutual warmth, with occasionally a black face or a woolly head protruding, and sleep until roused up by the morning watch. ' ATTEMPT to drown a witch. On one occasion a woman, who had 1 the only two infants that were in the t party, found that one of her children was sick, and she conceived the notion i that another woman was a witch, and r was killing it by her sorcery. She ac _ cordingly combined witli several others " of her friends to throw the witch over ‘ board. They got into a furious fight, ! “ and hustled the witch towards a side port, and had nearly pushed her into the sea, when the sentry seized and * pulled her back. The child lived until ’ it was landed, and then died. Future " pitched battles were only prevented by placing handcuffs upon the strong-min a ded women. The redeeming feature of ‘ this contest was the evidence which it [ afforded of a strong maternal affection , in the race. CONTEMPT OF DEATH. There were no religious rites celebra ted among the Africans during the 52 J days they were on board, and nothing in their conduct which indicated the idea of God or a future state. The j usual religious rites which were uni formly observed by the commander when one of their number died and was buried, excited no attention from e them whatever; but as one after an j other of their comrades wasted away, 1 the stronger would watch for the last breath, and then snatch his blanket, g and appropriate it to his own use. Up t on the occasion of a death, the body— sometimes two sewed up in one blank e ct—was placed upon a plank in one of the gun ports: the ship’s company as- I sembled upon the quarter deck, when e Captain Chauncey read the burial ser service, the inboard end of the plank was raised, and the body, with a heavy splash disappeared beneath the waters.

The many ! respectable testimonials which are offered in its j favor, from every part of the country in which j* it has been introduced, leaves no loop for a step- j tic to hang a doubt on.

DIAL—The dyspeptic patiect, whose stomach j 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 solvcntpowcr, and the crude nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to 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. I The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux | or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter-1 rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that terriblelassitudo which proceeds from a lack of i nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain ; or disability arisingfrom the unnaturalcondition j of the wonderful machinery which connects ev-; cry member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives immediate benefit ; from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,; I invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous j organization. i Females who have tried it arc unanimous in j j declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that j woman has ever received from the hards of; medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate ar.d astonishing effect upcD the appetite While it renews the strength of the digestive powers it creates a desire for the solid material which is to be subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. Iflongliie 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 de bility or from the weakness of a single organ willall find immediateaud permanentreli< ffrom tue use of this incomparable reu >vator. To 1 those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard against that terrible malady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu , tion that they think themselves beyond thercach of medicine. Let not even those despair. The ’ Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re ierence to the causes, and will not only remove the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self- de struction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from whatever cau.-e arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute ly inraiiibie.
