MM (0 \N T I TIT 10 \A li (ST BY JAMES GARDNER. =• ' \ SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH i«2. Contract Advertiser* Must remember that five o’clock, P. M., every day, is the latest hour for receiving their adver tising favors, for publication the ensuing morning. < The Agent for Mitchell’s Map Having remitted the $9.00, and explained the omission to pay before leaving Augusta, as the re sult of inadvertence, tvc cheerfully give him the benefit of this paragraph. The Julian Minstrels. This corps of melodists appear in this city on Tuesday night. They come well and favorably : heralded. Hebkaxdez, the great unkilled at Cuba, in the Lopez massacre, is one of the company. Brown’s Hotel in Macon. We call the attention of the travelling public to j t ie card in our advertising columns, of Brown’s j Hotel, situated opposite the passenger depot in j Macon. We learn that it is in a very convenient location for railroad travellers and the public gen erally, and that “mine hosts” cater liberally to gratify the gastronomic propensities of the people. Ornamental Iron Fencing and Bronze Goods. We call attention to the card of Mr. Matthews. agent of Chase Brothers & Co., Boston, for th, •■ale of the above articles. Mr. Matthews has left at this oflice his books of plates of tbe various use ful and ornamented work supplied by the house he represents, and we find them in the best style of art, and at prices which compare favorably with those of similar establishments in other cities. They ars worthy the attention of those desiring articles in this line. Military Shaving Soap. We were presented yesterday with a box of pre mium Walnut Oil Military Shaving Soap, from the manufactory of John B. Y'room, No. 72, Cherry »treet, New York. The article is for sale at several of our drug stores. It appears to have taken the premium at all the lairs it has been presented at, and is doubtless a very' excellent and desirable ar ticle. Breaching at the Lower Market. The Rev. Mr. Howell, held meetings at the Lower Market-Louse, on Thursday and Friday at lemooiis. We did not learn the religious persua sion of the reverend gentleman. He seemed, as out informants tell us, to be a zealous, as well as intel ligent Christian divine, lie justifies street preach tog, upon tbe ground that numbers of persons who neglect to go to church, will come to bear him He preached, on Friday, from this text : And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now comrnandeth all men, everywhere, to repent.” Acts xvi. 30. Strict preaching is rather a novelty in our com munity, and where it is decorously conducted, it may not be altogether unfruitful in good results Mr. H. did not claim to belong to any of the church organizations, but stated that he was fighting sin and iniquity on his own hook. And to a question put to him—“vvliat do you do with your converts*’ —he replied, that there were a number of churches that would be pleased “to string his fish as fast as he could catch them.” We understand that the parson bolds forth till afternoon at the Upper Market. Reviews and Periodicals. The March number of Deßow’s lieview is re ceived. Though tempted by its interesting con tents we have no space to spare for quotations. Masonic Signet ami Journal. Tbe March num ber is received. We find the following intelligent from the Report of Deputy Grand Master, Wn. S Rockwell to Grand Master, Wit. C. Dawson. “Oil the 22d of April 1 issued Dispensations t<- sundry Brethren for new Lodges—one to be located at llomesville, Appling county, and the other a' Isabella, Worth countv, by the names of Home villc and Worth Lodges respectively. As thi portion of the State has been hitherto in darknes and not illumined by tbe radiant effulgence of Ma sonic light, should the Brethren, who have under taken the noble work of extending the benefits o. Freemasonry to this hitherto benighted region prove fully competent us I trust they will for tin discharge of this great duty, I command tlieir un dertaking to the favorable notice of this Gram Body.” This number contains an interesting sketch, co pied from Graham’s Magazine, of the life of Bo- Dr. Kane, now made famous by his Arctic exp< - dition, from which we make the following extract. On his way to the Gulf he secured a horse in Kentucky, such as a knight errant would hav. chosen for the companion and sharer of his adven tures. Landed at Vera Cruz, he asked for an es cort to convey him to the capital, but the officer in command had no troops to spare —he must wait, or he must accept, instead, a band of ruffian Mexi cans, called the Spy company, who had taken t the business of treason and trickery for a liveli hood. He accepted them, and went forward. Neai Puebla his troop encountered a body of Mexican escorting a number of distinguished officers to Orizapa. among whom were Major General Gaona, Governor of Puebla,“his son Maximilian, and Gen. Torejon, who commanded the brilliant charge ot horse Buena Vista. The surprise was mutual, but the Spy Company had the advantage ot ground. At the first instant of the discovery, and before the rascals fully comprehended then involvement, the Doctor shouted in Spanish “Bravo! the capital adventure, Colonel, form yom line for the charge!” And down they went upon i the enemy; Kane and his gallant Kentucky char j ger ahead. Understanding the principle tlui sends a tallow candle through a plank, and tlia: the momentum of a body is its weight multiplied by its velocity, he dashed through the opposing force, and turning to engage after breaking then line, ho found himself fairly surrounded, and t\w of the enemy giving him their special attention One of these was disposed of in on instant bv rearing his horse, who, with a blow of his fort foot, floored hi? man ; and wheeling suddenly, th Doctor gave the other a sword wound, which open ed the external iliac artery, and put him hors J• eombat. This subject of the Doctor's military sur gery was the young Maximilian. The brief melee terminated with a cry trout the Mexicans, “We sur render. Two of the officers made a dash for an es cape, the Doctor pursued them, but soon gave up the chase. When he returned, he found his ruffian preparing to massacre the prisoners. As he gal loped past the young officer whom he had wound ed, he heard him cry, “ Senor, save my father.” A group of the guerrilla guards were dashing upon the Mexicans, huddled together, with theii lances in rest. He threw himself before them— one of them transfixed his horse, another gave him a severe wound in the groin. He killed the first-lieutenant, wounded tbe second-lieutenant, and blew a part of the colonel’s heard otF with the last charge of his six-shooter; then grap pling with him, and using his fists, he brought the party to terms. The lives of the prisoners were saved, and the Doctor received their swords. As soon as General Gaono could reach hia eon, who lay at a little distauee from the scene of the last struggle, the Doctor found mm sitting bv him, receiving his last adieus. Shifting the soldier and resuming the surgeon, he secured the artery, and put the wounded man in condition to travel. The ambulance got up for the occasion, contained at once the wounded Maximi lian. the wounded second-lieutenant, and the man that had prepared them for slow traveling, himselt on his litter, from the lance wound received in de fence of his prisoners ! When they reached Pue bla, the Doctor’s wound proved the worst in the nartv. He was taken to lhe government house, but the old General, in gratitude for his generous services, had him conveyed to his own house. General Childs, American commander at Puebla, hearing of the generosity of his prisoner, discharg ed him without making any terms, and the old geueral became the principal nurse of his captor and benefactor, dividing his attentions between him and his son, who lay wounded in an adjoining room. This illness of our hero was long and doubtful, and he was reported dead to his friend? at home.” “-IT" Hon. A. G. Brown says in a letter to the National Intelligencer, that if the injunction of sc eresy is removed by the contracting parties to the Clayton and Buhver treaty, it will be apparent that the American construction will be fully sustained and vindicated. Gov. Clark, of New York, has got into hot water with some of his constituents on Staten Island. The Governor pardoned some culprits who had been convicted by the Courts for breaking up ballot boxes, and perpetrating other outrages, and he was bung in effigy, and a public masting advise and demand hi* impeachment Impositions of the Telegraph. The extortions of the combination in New York, known as the Associated Press, upon the newspa pers and other patrons of the monopoly through- j out the country, are producing a spirit of restless- j ness and discontent which we are hopeful may re sult in some practical scheme of relief. It is a sore thraldom to be bestrode by any monopoly j having under its sole control anything essential to the business and convenience of others, It is still more irritating to find that monopoly taking undue advantages while performing incompletely its side of the contract. The abuse becomes still j more intolerable when the victim has almost daily j evidence that he is more than half the time paying out money to feed the cormorant monopoly with- j out getting anything valuable in return. Such is the condition of things between the J Telegraph monopoly at New York above referred to, and its numerous customers. The system is this : The New York Company ■ monopolizes the telegraph news from Halifax, N. ! S., to that city, and by its agents there, and at j other main points, at the various relay stations up- j on the various lines traversing the country, peddles ! out the foreign news. This of itself gives them an opportunity to make immense profits on the telegraph’s cost of the news from Halifax to New York. The news is conveyed to a point South, for instance to their office at Baltimore. The cost to the Associated Press to Baltimore is the cost of one toll for that distance. The news, however, is distributed from that point to the various custo mers South and West, supplied from that point, and each one is charged the whole expense or a large per ccntage on it from Halifax and New | York. The news is sent by the Company still further South, for instance, to its ugent at Colum bia, S. (J. From this point it is again distributed South and West to its customers, supplied from that point, and they, too, are heavily taxed for tele graphic expenses from Halifax and New York. This operation is again repeated at New Orleans, for instance, and at every point where the Associ ated Press have a special agent. It is not the newspaper publishers alone who are thus extorted upon throughout the country. Merchants in all the cities, and towns, and villages of the country, desirous of geting the foreign news, are also cus tomers. They, too, have to pay for telegraph ex penses from Halifax and New York. This opera tion is repeated ns many times as there are custo mers. It is not to be understood that the Associated Press charge as much to each customer for a des patch as ii costs them. For instance: they do not charge the customer supplied from Columbia, S. all it costs them in telegraph tolls, to get the de spatch to their agent at Columbia. But presuming the Agent has one hundred customers —not a large estimate -and that each one is charged only one tenth of the telegraphic cost to Columbia, the As sociated Press get back ten times as much for the news furnished from that point as they pay the telegraph companies for it. We have no means of knowing what is the proportion charged, or what are the profits of this monopoly. It has the ad vantage of all close corporations of being able to keep its own secrets. Our figures, therefore, are conjectural only. When news is supplied by the month, at u fixed rate, as for instance to each of the newspaper presses of Augusta and Savannah, at twenty-five dollars a month, they paying the full tolls only from Colum bia, the rule will hold good, though perhaps in a different proportion. The Associated Press in these cases gets from these papers, and others like wise tributary, a great deal more for the news than it costs. •Such a system offers a constant temptation to the Associated Press to send over the wires a quan tity of trash, gossip and nonsense—and frequently stale news which is anticipated by the mails. Wo have more than once had matters brought to us by Richmond, Columbia and Charleston papers in ad vance of tbe same things to us by telegraph. Of ten, we have reason to believe, despatches have been held back from the newspapers, for hours, while tlie same news was passing through on the wires to private customers. This is done, doubtless, to multiply the number of private customers to the Associated Press at the expense of the newspa pers. Now, the profits of the Associated Press are in proportion to the amount of matte-r it sends on the wires in all cases, except when it supplies news by the month. The profits of the Telegraph Com pany also, us a matter of course, are dependent on the amount of matter telegraphed. The interests of the two monopolies harmonize in this respect, and they are able to help each other in many inci dental ways —all at the expense of the outside pub lic. A few illustrations will not be out of place. We extract the following from the New Orleans j papers of March 15: j New York, March 13. —Mr. Collins thinks the : pieces of wreck seen by the Arabia were not por | tions of the Pacific. New York, March 14. — The Arabia has arrived at Boston, and her mails were sent South this morn ing. [The news brought by the Arabia had been previously telegraphed from Halifax, i The telegraph toll on the first dispatch from New York to New Orleans is #3.52, and on the second j dispatch A. Here are #3.56 cents expended for telegraphing, on a direct line, without regarding the innumerable branches where toll is collected, or the money expended for an agent to send “ (he nevs.” And of what value are these messages, un less to the telegraph line ? We might, if we thought proper, furnish any i quantity of telegraph news, so called, which daily I passes over the line to publishers, and of no prac ! tical value or interest to the public. 1 The great body of newspaper readers are aub ] acribers to weekly papers, and they live in locali ties where the mail service is performed but once or Grice a week. On railroad lines, merchants are | interested in the quickest news—but the news they j desire is altogether of a commercial nature. They want to kuow the fluctuations iu leading articles , of merchandise, and beyond this they care Coui- Iparatively nothing about tbe neios by telegraph. Where commercial news is important., iu relation to the values of commodities, and where it is to the interest of buyers and sellers that they should I receive early news, to prevent private speculations upon them, the telegraph system is useful—where factor and buyer desire quick intercourse—and in fact hundreds of instances, we might enumerate, the telegraph system is admirable. But eLterprising merchants depend upon private despatches, and they pay liberally to the Asso ciated press, at New York, or to Agents at the va rious relay stations, for early intelligence iu ad vance of the news received by the newspaper press. In nine cases out of ten, the newspaper press re ceive their telegraph messages at night; often late at night; and the protection afforded to the public, j by the press, is mostly at that point of time when ! private enterprise is satisfied, or them is no longer ■ any advantage to be gained, nor opportunity for j them to obtain any, without general exposure. The Washington correspondent of the iSa J vannali Georgian says : “ The Rev. Mark Trite-ton, an American member from Massachusetts, (I clas \ sify him thus for the reason that be is one of those j so-called National Know Nothings, who supported { Gardiner in opposition to Rockwell for Governor ! of Massachusetts,) moved, in the Committee on the District of Columbia, the other dav, to strike out from a bill regulating suffrage in this District the word white, so that negroes might be allowed to vote. What do the Americans of Georgia think of ilieir national brother of the Gardiner school ? “ Two distinguished Whig Representatives, .Samuel Carvthers and Mordecai Oliver, both of Missouri, have, in addresses to their constituents, i given in their adhesion to the Democratic party. | They justly look upon it as the only national or i ganization in the country. I have not seen Mr. I Oliver’s address, but Mr. Oarctherb’ is the most j conclusive document I ever read.” Oglethorpe. Death. —Lieut. W. H. H. Patterson, who dis tinguished himse'f at Monterey and Buena Vista, died suddenly, of inflammation of the brain at Co lumbus, Mississippi, a few days ago. j John Gill, Esq., a venerable and esteemed citizen of Baltimore, died in that city on th* 17th in»V, aged ninety-on* year* The Telegraph Line. The telegraph line got ahead of the mail coach about twelve hours in transmitting to this city, the “news’' of the decision of the Court of Claims in the case of the brig Gen. Armstrong. It was ■ very important paying intelligence to the telegraph j line, but not of sufficient interest to entitle it to a ; seat in the wire coach, unless permitted to travel ; as “a dead head.” This we do not urge as an ob- : jection to the telegraph company, but to the want ' of promptness in the agents of the press. It is but just to the mail service to say, that the j decision was delivered and printed and departed from Washington city, about fourteen hours after the telegraph might have left, and while the dis- ' patch furnished only a few unsatisfactory lines about the decision, the mail brought us all the points decided upon iri the case. J3F" M. W. Dklahay, Esq,, in a letter to the Washington Union, says he is] not in Washing ton city as a contestant of the seat of either Whit field or Reeder from Kansas—that he is there at present as a private citizen, and as lie has already been elected a representative to Congress from Kansas, he will not attempt to claim a seat there until Kansas is regularly admitted into the Union. He desires that he be “free from unjust comments of the press.” Better and Better.—The returns from two hun dred and eleven towns, in New Hampshire, show the following vote for Governor : Wells, Democrat 30,971 Metcalf, Abolition and Know Nothing. 30,674 Goodwin, Whig 2,331 Scattering IS2 It is possible, and even probable, that the Aboli tionists and Know Nothings will have a small ma jority in the House ; and it is equally probable that the Democrats will have a small majority in the Senate. ffT' A number of the merchants in Baltimore, positively refuse to buy and sell corn by weight they adhere to the measure system. OBITUARY . Died, at the residence of Dr. Green, in Midway, on the 11th inst., of Bronchitis and Pneumonia, Dr. William W. Holmes, Assistant Physician of the State Lunatic Asylum, in the thirty-sixth year of his age. The death of this gentleman brings not only deep and abiding sorrow upon a loving and venerable father and devoted sisters and broth er, with an extensive and highly respectable con nexion, but involves, too, an important public lloss. Dr. Holmes was, in the mostjeomprehensive sense of those expressions, a good man and useful citizen, and rarely lias any man, in so brief a residence in any community, secured for himself the high es teem of so extensive a circle of warmly attached friends, and commanded in so a high a degree, the respect and good will of all who knew him. His family and friends, however, enjoy the comforting assurance that though in the Providence of that Being, “ who docth all tilings well and wisely,” he has been removed from the position of honor and usefulness which lie occupied here, he has gone to the Christian’s home in Heaven, and that their af flicting loss, is his everlasting gain.

There are plenty of yoang Gentle- j men, as well as plenty of old ones, whose beards are turning gray, which gives the former a good i deal of uneasiness, and exposes the age of the lat ! ter. To avoid these little perplexities, we advise j such of our readers to use Prof. WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE, which will, in the course of a few weeks, change the white hair to its natural j color. It does not dye the hair, like the most of I the Hair Restoratives, but produces a gradual s change of color from the roots of the hair to the final end, and gives it a fine and glossy appear ( auce. We have seen many persons who have used ! it successfully, and pronounced it the only inven tion which has come up to their idea of a “cure ! for gray heads." We commenced using it about i two months since, and if we are any judge of age ! and beauty, ii lias made us at least ten years young | er—in fact, we are beginning to look quite young, 1 and feel very much like getting a young wife. The change is miraculous, and it would be as difficult to find a gray hair now as it would be to find an idea in the head of the Duke of Buckingham. We know several old maids and some young widows, whose locks are just beginning to assume a silvery hue, and who have been talking seriously about re sorting to this remedy; and we advise them not to delay any longer.

FARRELL’S | CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT. ! rwiUE beautiful and fertile region skirting the i H desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants i and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro j matic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is I composed, and by whose stimulating, unctuous and ; penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused j through the whole nervous system, allaying the j most intense pain in a few minutes. Try it, when j vou will be convinced that no preparation possesses ) In so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities. Its action is prompt ana effective. It penetrates the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and when the flesh hus wasted away, leaving uothing but skin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing uew flesh to grow out and till tip the shrivelled part. It restores the synovial fluid or joint water, and this is the reason why it has been so success ful in diseases of the joints. In affections of the Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great reme dy stands before any other ever oreduced. For ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe cific. For any internal inflammation, you will find it gives great relief. It has no equal in the world for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains, wounds, chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects ami reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in deed nearly all diseases which require an internal application, and many others, are greatly benefitted by it. It is used externally with great success in • goitre, or swelled neck, Scrofula or King’s Evil, Liver Complaint, nervous diseases, Ac. For Horses or Cattle, it is 4s effectual as in diseases of man.
