Mr Dear A. —You have been so much interested of late in the “jolly sons of the jungle,” in the rule of three, inver ted, diverted, subverted and perverted, and with acrobatic cyphering generally, that I suppose with your head turned down the river, and up the State Road at the same time, you can hardly tell, and certainly don’t care whether Con gress is in session or not. However, some of your numerous readers may desire to listen to some of the Washington gossip, and I have a few moments at your command, so they shall be gratified. Messrs. English and Montgomery bad a bit of a skirmish on the avenue the ether day, Montgomery says English struck him from behind, with a cane and hit him on the nose. He retaliated with a brickbat, when English left with out any unnecessary delay, and made very good time up the avenue as though the ghost of his own Kansas bill was at his heels. A bill is up before the house, having for its object the pensioning of the soldiers of the war of 1812 with G ea Britain. Yesterday members spoke to its merits under the five minutes rule Ton ought to have heard the patriot ism which bubbled forth; it was like an aTtesian well, when it first begins to overflow ; there was lots of mud min gled with the living stream, but the fountain opened up was rich and racy. Lucius J. Gartrell of your own State made one of the speeches; it was worthy of the occasion, and of the State he in part represents; to what re gions his fancy might have flown, the application of the rule prevented us from knowing. Upon this bill, young members and old, plume themselves for political cap ital. It is a good thing, it ought to be done, and ambitious members know it and mean to make the most of it. The smell of villainous saltpetre has not yet passed from Washington politi cal circles. Douglas, although repudia ted by the democratic caucus of the Senate is expected here almost daily, and what phase bis presence will give to affairs, cannot be predicted, hut it is certain to he of a decided character. Far be it from me to drag a man’s social or domestic relations needlessly before the public, hut the history of the past, the rememherance of religious intoleration, the recollection that the Catholic world is a unit, and the con templation of the political predelictions of the vast body of that church in this country, leads me to remark right here, that Mr. Douglas married a Catholic lady, a most estimable woman, of great influence. And whether Judge Doug lass had any sinister motives or not, the fact cannot, in the nature of things, fail to have great weight in the- event of his becoming a candidate for Presi dent of the United States. Congress will in a few days adjourn over for the Holidays. I notice the items furnished by the Dispatch in relation to the “Africans” have been commented upon by the “Independent ,” and other New York pa pers. And speaking of guns, I notice the Dispatch is fast taking the position outside of the State, which you have worked so hard and so deservingly to obtain for it, and which it has occupied in the minds of the most intelligent Georgians, since its first inception in that dark, cold, wet and smoky old office. I always told you so, and if you have succeeded in your enterprise, con trary to the predictions of old fogy ism, against the advice of lukewarm friends, and in the face of the cool indifierence with which your first Prospectus was received, you must blame yourself en tirely. As the case now stands I only wonder that some shrewd man does not put ten thousand .dollars at your disposal, to establish apower press and job office, which would knock the hind sights off from all the old shooting sticks between Belair and Hamburg. Hoping the an niversary of the Battle of New Orleans, your noted day, will find you with more subscribers than ever, I remain as ever, yours, Quartz. [COIIMUNICATED.] Pucdorhymlc No. 8, Dear Dispatch For the edification of your illiterate readers, I will devote this number to an explanation of the title of my articles now in course of publication in your paper. Poedorhym ic is from the Greek pied, foot, and the French word rhythm, time, and signifies a small article, one too small to take the trouble to sit down to write ; a tri fle that ean be dashed off while standing on one foot, (no allusion to a goose.) The things themselves are called Poedo rhyme, and a writer of these, a Poedor rhymisl. Thus, if I should choose to collect up mine and have them publish ed in book form, the title would run something after this style : POEDORUYSMS, nv MOSES OSBALDISTAN GULL THE CELEBRATED POBDORIIYMIST. Tothe Augusta Evening Dispatch N. B I his style of composition is entirely original with myself. Willis of the Hume Journal, once attempted it but finding it too difficult for him absorb”', .i ,t to commence his letter from Idlewild. “Sqnihhs” wants to know if doctors by looking at the tongue of a wagon can tell what ails it ? Cincinnati, Louisville, and other Hog Marketer Business is active again, owing to a return of weather favorable for packing and sellers arc demanding full prices and more by 25 per cent,than buyers are generally willing to give. Sales have been made of hogs from 195 to 200 lbs. at from $0.55 to $0.50 per cwt. Mess Pork is reported at sl7 tor present de livery, and $lB for future. The Cincin ti nati Commercial says : “The market ap f pears to be still well sustained,and even brisk at the full prices quoted above for choice hogs. The receipts amount to ’ about 6,000 head. From the tone of • comments on markets and other packing i points, we are led to think that there is 1 more firmness in our own market than elsewhere ; hut as they are all looking ’ with an intense interest on the results of the season’s operations and the move ment of product at this point, this mar -8 ket being principal indicator for the f others, it is to be expected that a pause . may be observed until we come to a footing up of transactions the unload ' ing of our market.” At Louisville, Ky., the market is qui -1 et, though holders are firm and the e receipts are light. The packing at j Frankfort, Ky ,1s but a little over <I,OOO j this seasson for 11,350 last season, and at Henderson, Ky., the slaughter this 1 year has been but 4,000 against 11,000 - last year. In various towns in Indiana s also there will be a falling off. i Under our Commercial head will be t found a statement based jon the report of the Cincinnati Price Current , from ’ which it will be seen that there is a dif ference in their views of the market.

Lumpkin, of Athens, was wound- J ed in the arm last week by the accidental discharge of a gun. 8 A negro man belonging to Mr. Bur roughs, of Madison county, was lately 0 found hanging to a tree, where he had f evidently hung for a month, being so 8 dried up as to be identified only by his clothes. —Athens Banner. 5 6 Washington, Dec. 20.—The state ment from the agent of the Associated j Press transmitted on Saturday, relative so the difficulty between Messrs. English '■ and Montgomery, was derived from e persons professing knowledge of the t fact.

When two men dispute, you may be sure there is a fool upon one side or the ’ other ; and the man who interferes be -1 tween the two is generally a greater fool than either. If the men did not encourage co , queries so much, there would not be so many of them. There are some men whose opposition 3 can be reckoned upon against every ’ thing that has not emanated from them , selves. There is scarcely a man who docs not inveigh against the scandal of women, 3 but they all listen to it i Ingratitude is the pretext that selfish , ness seizes hold of for refusing to do a favor. ' Beggars Paid in their own Coin 1 When a beggar asks me whiningly for t charity, (says a city magistrate,) I ai , ways give it him, either in the shape , of advice, or a moral precept, or a hit of consolation ; but never in the shape 1 of money. I always pay beggars in their own coin—in words—and it is sin gular how they dislike the form of pay ment ! The Bereavtd Husband. , DY MRS. E. L. SAXOS. He sat withia a silent room Death’s shadow had been there, His heart was filled with grief and gloom, His bead was bowed iu prayer. He strove to shut out memory, So filled with bitter pain, But close before his weepi.jg eyes Her gluss was held again. Again he stood before his wife And almost deemed h r living— Again he took the farewell kiss Which she had died in giving. He hall forgot that death had been Within his pleasant home ; He seemed to feel her presence there, Beside him in her room. There stood upon the mantle shelf A vase of faded flowers— They had been placed there by herself, Iu happy, glowing hours ; There s it her vacaut crimson chair, Her shawl across it lyinf ; It had been foi led round her breast When be had seen her dying. There was her basket, and her books, Her portrait on the wall, The Bible where her last sweet looks On holy words did fall. A few short years before, and he Had brought her there a bride, But now she was laid down to rest, With her infant by her side. He did not di earn how much he loved The flower that he had cherished, Or how she twined about his heart, Until the bloom bad perished.

HORRORS OF CIVIL WAR. A TAJ.E OF A SPANISH SOLDIER. \ When the war of 183- in Spain com ; menced, I was a boy at sehool, but heard so much said of Don Curios, and s lthe numbers of men enlisting in his army, that I resolved to become a sol dier. I began to prepare for secretly eloping from home, and joining his j army, apprehending decided opposition . from my parents. It required much , deliberation, and many arrangements f and efforts, to lay plans and execute , them, to obtain a supply of arms, and ’ to make all the other preparations ne ’ cessarv to secure the success of my pro , ject. There were few places in the J house where I thought I could place anything that would not be liable to ob~ ’ servation ; but there was the subterra , nean chamber in the garden! Would \ not that he a good place for my arse [ nal? As none of the ether members of the family had visited it for a long time, at the period of the war, it occurred to me that I might there safely deposit , my arms and ammunition. But I was [ soon relieved from all anxiety and care ) on that subject, by my father’s inquiry j whether I would like to be a soldier of 3 Don Carlos. ) Joyfully I expressed my readiness; j and at daylight, a few mornings after, I was on my way, equipped in a full and new suit of uniform, and well armed - with shining weapons, which glistened, t when the sun rose, like polished steel. J The hilarity with which I walked across fields, and among trees, I can never for get. I was full of hope and expecta . tion, and fancied myself already acon , queror on battle fields, which my imag ination pointed before me. A few months found me so changed in my condition and appearance, and • especially in my feelings and character, - that scarcely my father could have re -1 cognized me. Indeed, now, since other changes have been passed through, it is 1 diflflcmlt for me to realize, that mj own J aspect could have ever been so savage, 1 my habits so wild, my feelings so un -1 governed, and my principles of action j so inhuman. A civil war, produces the s most horrible state of things that can ! exist in society. The circumstances differ materially from those arising , from a contest between the people of 1 different countries. Enemies can then 3 j distinguish each other, by some exter . nal and obvious mark ;Jbut, in a civil 1 | war, suspicion takes the place of knowl -31 edgej; sons, brothers, and bosom friends i are often ranged on opposite sides, ! sometimes meet in the field, and even [ seek and spill each other's blood. It , j was quite sufficient to brutalize and in .! furiate me, to be constantly engaged, . day after day and night after night, in I unceasing and deadly warfare with my countrymen, for weeks and months to i j getlier. j We were at first prosperous, and well received by the people, both in the [ ! country and the towns; but our ene i mies afterwards gained so much strength > that we were compelled to retreat to ■ the most solitary and inaccessible parts ■ s of the Pyrenees; and there we under- i went toils and privations almost too j severe for human nature to endure. A ■ | few incidents which occurred to us may I | afford some idea of our condition. We one day entered a village, where 1 we had formerly been treated with i ' I great kindness and hospitality, and as ’ sured, over and over again, that we had j j the whole population for our friends.— ' [ In the midst of a repast which had been : prepared for us, while confiding too | much in our host, even to keep a sentry, ! the house was beset by a party of our [ enemies, who fired upon us through the windows and then rushed in at the doors sword in hand. I was unhurt, and, springing for the first passage I could ’ find, leaped from a hight to the ground, and escaped, by what appeared to me a 1 pure miracle My companions I never saw afterwards, and only learned by an indirect channel, that scarcely any one , escaped except myself. How 1 got back to the mountains I cannot exactly 1 tell; but when I found myself again among tho woods and wilds, and knew that 1 had nothing near me more sav -1 age than wolves, I lay down in peace and quietness, and slept for hours with out disturbance. On another occasion we repaired to a | large farm house, which we had discov ered from a distance, being extremely ' pressed by hunger. As we had some acquaintance with the inhabitants— that is, one of our party assured us that they were friends of Don Carlos—we accepted the foot! which they prepared for us with many thanks, and partook of it with extraordinary avidity. I pre sume I must have been providentially prevented from eating some portion of the food which proved so deadly to j most of my companions I rose from sleep on the ground several hours after j our feast, and, to my horror, found all the rest of our party lying dead around me. Perhaps some may have escaped, for I did not stop to count them all, but, seizing my arms, I threatened the life of any of our hosts if they dared ! to approach me, and effected my retreat as fast as possible. A traitor had pois oned the food. In such circumstances it was impossi ble to trust anybody ; and the most painful suspicions often arose in my mind of those around me, of which there was no ground whatever. I felt, too, that I was liable to the suspicions j of my comrades, and perhaps might soon be murdered under false impres- : sions. But all these scenes appear to me of small moment, compared with the storming of a town, in which hundreds of young women fell by our weapons, ■ among the other brave but unsuccess- j ful defenders. Our commander, whom I now regard as much more like a de mon thau a man, after obtaining posscs s:on of the town, gave it up to sack and pillage; words which have an awful meaning, and a horrid sound. Oh, the fiendish yells of the imbru ted soldiers, and the agonizing shrieks ■ of their helpless victims, seem to ring in my cars to this hour. May my readers imbibe a horror of civil war, and never be misled, in youth, by the false attractions of military life, and the rights aud interests of other men and other nations, which, while it pre vails among a powerful nation, like the United States, is a strong guaranty of public happiness, and the prevalence of peace on earth aud the practice of good will to men !

To keep the liver in the proper performance of its duties is to keep the system in a state of health, and free from all bodily ills. Dr. Sa.ndford’s INVIGORATOR is a great Reou- I lator of tiie Liver. It instills into it new life and vigor, strengthens it, and invigorates it, curing the fountain from whence so many J strgams of sickness flow. We say to all who are troubled with any derangement of the Liv er, such as Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache, Billiousnoss or debility of system, do not fail to try Dr. Sanford’s Liver Lwigorator. decl-m ISTGentlemen wishing to obtain good DAY BOARD, in a private family, can be accommodated by calling at the dwelling ’ opposite the August* Free School. nov23-lm* Dancing Academy.
