Twiggs Court Adjourned on Thursday last The Alien Will ease was the only important matter tried, and the will was sustained, hut we understand tho caveators will cany up the case on many im portant law rulings.

A Diplomatic Secret. The ubiquitous Ouscley has ag tin turned up, after flourishing like a green bay tree in the court circles at Washington, [daring admirably the part of the man of the world and the devo tee of pleasure, he'suddenly, without explana tion- to the eager quid nuncs, departs for the Tropics, there once more to beguile and wheedle, by smooth speech and smart address, the deni zens of the ever changing Republics of Central America The latest, advices from Nicaragua, inform us that Sir William Gore Ouseley has succeeded in making a treaty similar in many its terms, and containing a clause identical with the section in our Cass-Yrisarri Treaty in rela tion to the action of troops without previous de mand of the Nicaraguan Government The insertion of the clause in our treaty caused its rejection by the Nicaraguans—yet Ouseley, sharp, shrewd, adroit, cunning Ouseley, obtains this concession for the British, and it is further related that the French and Sardinian Govern ments are likewiso to be favored with similar privileges. If the information received by the last steamer is to be relied on, our Government is losing deal in its attempts to effect an equita ble adjustment of our Central American difficul ties. It is stated that a deep seated and a wretched Trade in Macon. A gentleman of the highest respectability tells us he happened to be in Mrs. Dessau’s Mil linery Store last Tuesday, and saw an accom plished lsdy of bis acquaintance in the act of purenasingthirtoen elegant Bonnets. “What," says he, “are you going to set up a Millinery Store!" llo was told in reply that the lady was only executing some commissions for friends at a distance, and of the thirteen bonnets, five were going to Madison, and three to Greensboro' —in the very bailiwick of Augusta. A merchant, Mr. Bostick, next door, then remarked that he had that morning filled an order for expensive dress goods from St. MaryV, sending them through Savannah. Such incidents show that the taste and enterprise of our dry goods people are being appreciate.!, and tlie trade of the town extending over a very large portion of the State. The Charleston Tri-Weekly Courier of tho 29th ult, has for its fourth page a solitary hand hill placard of Gale's Carriage Establishment in that city. What will newspapers come to at last! Lient Napier. We are gratified to find the following an nouncement in the list of promotions lately issued from the War Department, “First Dragoons, Brevet Second Lieut Leroy Napier jr., to be Second Lieutenant” Lieut Napier is a sen of our esteemed fellow citizen, Maj. Le roy Napier. t -- Main Trunk. A meeting of tho Dircctom of the Main Trunk Rail Road Co., is to be held in Savannah dur ing the present week. Dr. Screven, the 1’resident of the Company, baa returned from Florida, but we are Sony to learn, his health has not been improved. In tho event of his resignation, we learn that Mr. Edward C. Anderson of Savannah will be select ed in his stead. Mr. Anderson will mako an industrious, intel ligent and popular President Arthur Napoleon. Among the very best musical entertainments ever given in Macon, those of Arthur Napoleon and Company on Friday and Saturday last might be numbered without doubt or hesitation. As a pianist, young Napoleon is a marvel—a grains—without perhaps the finish or discipline of Thalbcrg, but it seems to us with equal exocation, rad more fire, energy and cntbnsi asm. Herr Doehlerita great violinist, and the ladies, Cairoli and Miss Hey wood, received storms of applause. We are sorry that the multiplicity of amusements left tho Company an audience in point of numbers inferior to the merits of their performance. Domestic Markets. Charleston, April 2.1P.

Wc believe that Mr. Bucliannn will not allow the honor or rights of onr Government to be jeoparded, and that he will require and de mand, at all hazards, the same privileges and protection for American citizens, as shall be permitted to those of tho most favored nations. Wc presume he will ask for nothing more, and wc hope he will accept nothing less. Sir Wil liam Gore Ouseley’s mission, in many respects, has been a singular one. He appeared at Washington certainly unac credited, as we understand, to act in any diplo matic capacity with our Government—but from the first day of his arrival, his diplomatic status has been tlie subject of frequent, and by no means kindly, criticism on thopart of the Amer ican journals. Still, if all reports be true, lie has not only acted well his part, in maintaining British supremacy, but he has been the indirect means of bringing about a change in the per sonnel of the British Legation at Washington. The on dit at Washington now is, that, in the freedom of social converse, my Lord Napier expressed the opinion, perhaps to Mr. Cling- tnan, that the English Government would not object to the abrogation of tlie Clayton Bulwcr Treaty, and that if our Government really de sired it, the thing could be done. This was presenting^ momentous question in a new as pect That was not the understanding of our State Department Mr. Dallas, who from his official position at the Court of St James, would be supposed to know, had not communicated any such information, and therefore, when the British minister so unreservedly stated to per sons not directly connected with the administra tion, a fact, which a labored and long continued diplomatic correspondence between the highest officials of the two Governments had failed to elicit, it was thought that Lord Napier was cith er indecorous to the State Department in fail ing to impart so important an announcement to them, while so free to mention it in private cir cles, or that he was indiscreetly making pub lic what his own Government was desirous to conceal, or still more indiscreet in stating tiiat which was not true in fact The administration justly became indignant at this breach of diplomatic etiquette, and just here the ubiquitous Ouscley again appears. Lady Ouseley, an American Lady by birth, and by reason of her husband’s position at home, having confidential correspondence with friends connected with the English ministry, very un willingly, as we may suppose, and as a piece of gossip, communicates the free talk of my Lord Napier, over his port, and the consequent indig nation of the head of the State Department— The letter is received—the tenor of the disclo sures is discussed at the Foreign office, and the next English mail brings the startling intelli gence that the popular and liberal Lord Napier is transferred from Washington to die Hague. Thereupon, all sorts of rumors and gossip, not unmixed with scandal, arc circulated as to the cause of the Scotch Baron’s recall, but nothing truly is known except the fact that he is recalled. The secret was a woman—her triumph was complete, and it was not in her nature to con ceal it, and now the world knows it - “So much for Buckingham." Piocoloinini—Shylock— Arthur Ya- POLtON—AND THE ELEPHANT. The past has been a gay and brilliant week in Macon. On Wednesday evening last, Ralston llall was crowded with tlie Fashion and Beauty of Middle Georgia, to hear, see, and admire » Mu sical Star: “ A daughter of that laud, Where poet's tip and painter's hand, Are both divine.” Piccolomini. As a singer merely, she has many superiors— but in grade, in expression, in attitude, ir ges ture she is superb. There Is a charm and fresh ness in her manner—there is a glittering plea sure in her smile—there is a dazzling lustre in her eye, which enchants and captivates all who come within the magic circle of her wilts. To know the Piccolomini—to judge her: ight- ly, she must be seen and heard in Opera, with its attendant aids of a fine orchestra, gran-1 sce nery, and gorgeous dresses—then she world be properly appreciated. In the cold and lifeless role of concert performances she does not and cannot appear what she really is. So mu:h for Piccolomini The next evening Ralston Hall was again crowded with the largest audience we haviever seen at a dramatic performance. It wis the evening for the Complimentary Benefit t) Mr. Fleming, the gentlemanly and cnterprisii g les see and manager of the Theatre. Tlie play was the Merchant of Venice; and Mr. Fleming play ed Shylock as well as we have ever seen 1; done on any lioanls. In all the marked passages of this noble conception of the great Dramatist, Mr. Fleming’s rendering was responded to by hearty and very general demonstrations of ap plause. Jessie Brown—the Siege of Lucknow —was the after piece, and in tills Mr. Fuller as the clergyman, made a decided hit—and fre quently brought down the House. Ho is a chaste, classic, and graceful actor, and a univer sal favorite. The beautiful Miss Thompson as Piccolomini. Her concert in Macon, as everyw was a triumph—greeted by a brilliant and crowded house—uproarious applause—boqu by the armful, and she trod upon a carpet of roses before the entertainment was over. She is not a great singer—her charm lies for the most part in her manner—her vivacity, grac sprightliness. She is a capital actre ss. The papers have given a very just idea of her, and the paragraph we append from the Louisville Journal meets the case exactly. She was well supported by Md’Ile Ghioni, whose voice is a pure soprano of great strength and clearness. Maggiorotti, the buffo, is a capital actor as well as a fine singer. Lorini, with a good voice, ser ved as a sort of fool or set ofT to the impulsive Pic—he was cold as an iceberg. Legendre, with his cornet, very deservedly received great applause. Piccolomini is a musical coquette, a piquant singing gipsey full of genius, life, and beauty, which she flings and scatters around her as per fume exhales from flowers. She comes very near to being pretty, and the vixen knows it; she has stolen the Promethean fire to illumine her mor tal clay, and she glories in the theft; her eyes flash lightnings aljthe time, and she uses them; her smile is captivating, and she subdues all within her influence. She is the very incarna tion of true genius “out on the lark” and a holiday—a romping, capricious beauty, who knows her influence and exerts it daringly.— Ilcr voice is exquisitely sweet, and her style is the perfection of abandon. There is a gosh of melody about her which seems to be all na ture and unable to bear the restraints of the schools and the curbs of artistic discipline. As a true lover of the grape never dilutes his wine, she never mixes anything with the pure purple poetry of the driukingsong. One might get ela ted on its very fumes, and wc are not certain but they are yet floating in our brain. So in her badinage with Dulcamara, in the Elixir ofLove -ysbo means it—her hands and her eyes, her dimpled mouth, and her rose-red lips, her little tiny feet, and every electric charged vein in her face, helps her to act out the sentiment.— She is as full of mischief as a kitten purring Jessie plaj cl the part admirably and on the, over a ball of yarn, and seems running over next evening received a beautiful present from number of gentlemen of tlie city. She ac knowledged the compliment in a touchir g and pertinent reply. The presentation address was made by Mr. Fuller. On Friilay Arthur Napoleon discoursed ele gant music at Concert Ilail.

In fact sbo knows howto roulade over the entire scale of her auditors’ hearts; she can do what Hamlet could not— play upon humanity like a pipe; she knows its stops; sounds it from its lowest note to the ton of its compass, and shows “there is much music, excellent voice in this littie organ” Marion, March 22th, 1859. of April, 1859, was ushered in with surround ings pleasant to remember. stand Mr. Uassloclier, who is one of the most Clisby hsq.. accomplished musical proficients in this country, - Dear Sul Courtis now in session here— thinks him equal if not superior, to Thnlberg. i rf° nor , Judge H.

As yet, no ease of importance has claimed the attention of the Court, save thc Hunter & Allen Will cases, which have both been laid over un til next Court Yesterday morning’s sun dawned sltroudcd in dark and watery clouds, and the . morning gave great indications of another wet and dis agreeable Mouday—however, towards evening tho sun shone out with a brightness and bril liancy that sent a joyous shrill of light through the hearts of all; and as wc felt thc sweet influ ence of thc bahny- and fragrant breezes, we could but rejoice that Spring had come again. Nothing of note occurred to disturb or mar thc quietude of this place, except a severe and lengthy combat between two surly Mastiffs, who, in the very presence of thc Court, became enraged, and “pitched in” to each other with a vengeance that “made thc fur fly,” and ’twas only through thc efficient agency of thc Sheriff that those presumptuous intruders were made to scamper away, after which tranquility was soon restored and business continued unto the end of the chapter. I am yours truly, COR. Collision on the Ohio. SHOCKING LOSS OF LIFE. Cincinnati, Monday, March 28, 1859. The steamer Nat. Holmes hound from Pitts burgh to St Louis, with 150 passengers, mostly Compliment to Miss Charlotte THOMPSON. Wc learn that an appropriate compliment was paid to Miss Charlotte Thompson, thc Star Ac tress of Mr. Fleming's Star Company, last Sat urday. A number of tlie young gentlemen of tlie city united in tlie presentation to Miss T. of a beautiful Sett of jcwelty. The ceremony took place just after tlie conclusion of tlie drama “Our American Cousin,” Mr. J. B. Fuller acting as spokesman for the young gentlemen, and Miss Thompson acknowledging the present with her usual grace and propriety. Not more by her histrionic abilities, than by her engaging person and manners and unexceptionable char acter and dcjiortmcnt, Miss C. Thompson has made many friends in Macon, who arc gratified at tliis manifestation of respect and appreciation, and will be pleased to hear of tier success and prosperity wherever she may go. Tho Mount Vernon Purchase. Thc progress of collections ami payments to Col. Washington of the purchase money of thc Mount Ycmon estate, is thus noted in the “Mount Ycrnon Record,” a paper published in Philadel phia by the association:— The regent in thc faithful discharge of her responsibilities, has exercised thc power vested j c * n 'K nU1 ^*• Peak, collided with the in her to advance the true interestTof the asso- “, cr Gibson, bound from New Or- ciatian by calling in collections as rapidly-as lea f t " C,nC,n “ U ’' V,th a frgo ]0 f sugar and made, which were paid over by the treasurer without delay, in sums permitted by the con tract Thus in thc space of four weeks a little over thc sum of 62,060 dollars, (29,800 of this sum being, however, a portion of thc 215,000 stated to be invested in our former report,) dis charging indebtedness for the 2d and :)d instal ments, due severally 1860 and 1801, as follows: viz., on Feb. 22d, 216,712 78, closing the 2d instalment with interest thereon, due Feb. 22d, Both boats sunk, and tlie cabins floated oil Fifteen or twenty persons are supposed to have been lost on the Nat Holmes, ana indeed, one account says tiiat only one hundred of licr passengers were saved.

Yircixia.—The opposition express great hope of carrying Yirginia rad defeating Letcher, but thc Enquirer says there is no doubt of Letch er’s success by a large majority. The opposi tion have been just about carrying Yirginia for twenty years or more, but she always proves hcreclf too weighty a burden. Bucket Letters. The Augusta Constitutionalist, under thc head of “A Historical Question Settled,” contains a communication in explanation of the origin of thc term so commonly used—Bucket Letter. The author of the first “Bucket Letter," was young talented and facetious lawyer, residing in Clinton, Jones county, and well known to thc people of Middle Georgia, as David I. Holt. Holt was a warm Troup man in thc memorable contest of 1825, and was in thc habit of writing long and frequent letters to thc then President of the U. S., John Quincy Adams, signed Ed ward Bucket * Tho letters evinced so much talent, and dis played such thorough and accurate knowledge of the questions discussed, that the President’s curiosity was greatly excited to know thc au thor. The correspondence was shown to mem bers of Congress from Georgia, and upon inves tigation, David I. Holt was ascertained to be thc author. . The sell was such a good one, that thc mem bers of Congress let out tlie whole story, and from that day to this thc word Bucket Letter is always used to describe a letter signed by a name other than that of its author. 23d the remainder, closing the payment of tlie third instalment, with interest thereon, due Feb. 22d, 1861.

A summer retreat, healthful and convenient to the city, has long been a desideratum with the citizens of Savannah. During the preva lence epidemics it has been a sad want, ns in convenient to families as it was injurious to the business of tho place. A temporary resi dence on the salts has been thc only rcsort^and that a most inconvenient and expensive one to those who are unprovided with the necessary facilities for travelling. Thc new town of Marlow, just surveyed and laid out into lots, will supply the deficiency. Thc site is high and dry and salubrious, im mediately on the Central Railroad, and only twenty-six miles, or an hour’s ride, from thc city. The water is as good as can bo found in thc low country, and the village, if settled np by our citizens, iu the summer months, would be made most delightful retreat. The name (Marlow) is horribly uupoctic, and, with all due deference for thc taste of the proprietor, we mast enter a plea for a change. It will he seen, from the advertisement of Mr. Cuylcr, that the lots will be offered for sale to the highest \ idder, on the 12th of April Wc have a plan of the village at our office, which all can inspect who desire.—Republican.

Sen ator Wilson, of this State, had been making a political speech the previous evening, in Staf ford, or some adjoining Connecticut town, and his burden of course, was “Kansas.” He was still full of “Kansas” in tlie cars, and at last he mounted a quiet gentleman, who proved thc worst sort of a customer for Wilson. In reply to the Scrcccher’s eloquence on thc “wrongs of Kansas” this unknown gentleman stated thc fol lowing Ibets : Hint ho himself liappenod to bda resident of Kansas; had lived there a long time; that'he knew nearly all of the leading political diameters who had figured rathe history of tiiat State, and was conversant with thojiistory of political movements there; that bo for from tbc "aritation” being caused by Democrats,'or Democrat., measures, he personally knew if.to have been stawnd and kept alive, in nearly ev- qry oise, by Blae.

New York, April 2.—Dates from Bucncs Ayres to tho 27th of Januiy have been received.

All were to meet at Corrientcs the 1st of February, to ne gotiate. Sometimes too Fastidious. A- very worthy gentleman at Rouen is at present receiving a fortune which came to him with the drawing of a cork, in the following curious manner. Obliged by the state of his health, last summer, to change thc air, he went to the seashore at Villcrs-sur-mer, near Trou- ville, and walking on the bcacli, he noticed that a lad, who was also promenading there with his father, had found a sealed bottle nmong the sea-weed. Thc father hade his child to “throw down the dirty thing, and not be soiling his fingers,” upon which the invalid picked up tlie castaway bottle and took it with him to his lodgings. The cork drawn, thc bottle was found to contain a written document, properly signed and dated on board a vessel which bad sprung a leak and was about to sink. It ran thus: 'About to perish, I commend my soul to God. I hereby constitute tho finder of this will, enclosed in a bottle, my sole heir. My fortune, laboriously acquired, amounts to near three hundred and fifty thousand francs, and thc small house in which I have resided at Valparaiso.

Baltimore, March 31st There is not much of general interest stirring here. The season has arrived when business should be at its zenith— yet, such is not the It was expected that trade would have set in early this spring, but it has thus far been tardy—much impatience exists at the delay by our merchant - and business men, who have lain in heavy stocks of Goods, in anticipation of a large and brisk spring trade. Some activity has been observed among thc Grocery men in their transaction-, with the distant dealers; but other branches of business arc as yet comparatively quiet. The Dry Goods Jobbing trade has been, of late years, so much crippled by the manufac ture of Ready Made Clothing, that it Is now comparatively small, as compared to wliat it once was. Cloths, Cassimcrs, Satinetts, and other medium and low priced woolens, as well as Shirtings, Vestings, Ac., which were former ly purchased by country merchants and taken home to be made up for men’s wear, are now manufactured here and in other cities—and thc clothing bought ready made at prices so low as to afford the country merchant a better profit than can be realized upon the goods in thc piece. The Jobbing Dry Goods merchant is thereby almost entirely cut out of thc trade, and his business is chiefly confined to staple cottons, prints, Ac., upon which but a nominal profit is made. Many have abondoned the bu siness altogether, and in a few years it may be this once heavy business will become a mere Bagatelle in tbc Atlantic cities. In tlie absence of business, or other more profitable and im portant matters, we are just now in the midst of a city railroad muss. Our multitudinous council of wisdom have been agonizing with thc subject of a “ City Rail Road," for the last three weeks, and have just been safely deliver ed of a "Bill." No sooner was the bantling bom, than it was sent to the Mayor to be offi cially christened. That functionary, however, as quickly returned it to its progenitors—as ob jectionable in form and feature, and refused to stand as its god-father, unless it should be horn again, or so ame.nded and remodeled, as to come up to his idea of what it should be—he would not otherwise consent to have it enumerated in the ue/z of himself or thc apostles of his Amcri can administration. As the bill was os “clay in the hands of the potter" it was soon moulded into thc required form, and duly installed, after the laying on of hands by the Know Nothing high priest, into thc family of tho “Prince of Americans."

All hopes of a future respite to these men is now abandoned, and their exe cution will no doubt take place at thc time des ignated, thc 8th of April.

I think it will be one grand act of philanthropy to let every body have the benefit of my anti-expiring pills. It is more difficult for me to write the English than it Is to speak it, and I want you to sec how you think this will do. (Reads:) Anti-expiring pills—the greatest discovery of thc age. Run here, every body quick, and hear thc glorious news, that after this tho first day of April, 1859, thc people need not die any more, if they will only use the anti-expiring pills, and throw away all the poison medicines which so many quack doctors are trying to impose on them. If you are not sick, take a dose twice a week and you will be always well. If you are sick, with any kind of a disease, take these pills according to thc directions for that complaint, and you will be cured very soon. Whenever these pills fail to make a speedy cure you may know it is because you arc already half killed by some other physic. They are a certain rem edy for dyspepsia, consumption, asthma, drop sy, fevers of all kinds, and in fact all the diseases that are known to thc human family. No doubt somebody will very soon be trying to imitate my pills, but let them try as much as they please, I know they cannot make any tiiat will be half so good.

Indeed are you not afraid that so much praise might look some thing like a humbug to those who have not tes ted the virtues of thc pills ? Dr. Dc—Humbug:' No. There is not the least danger of such a thing. Mrs. De—Perhaps not; I’m sure I don’t know about such things. Dr. Dc—By thc way, Marie, in looking over some old papers to-day, I found the ballad of a song on humbug, w hich I heard in New Y’ork. think I can sing it for yon; would you like to hear it?
