liliV COMSTIf DTI6SAUST
BY JAMES GARDNER.
TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 25.
Registered Voters.
We understand that one thousand and ninety
voters’ names had been registered at the Lour the
list was closed yesterday.
River News.
The river is in good boating order. The steam- ■
er Augusta arrived yesterday, and will depart this j
afternoon.
Stabbing Affair.
A difficulty took place, on Saturday night last, ,
at a house of doubtful repute, occupied by one j
JcLia Bradky, situated in that part of the city
known as Canaan, beyond the second level of the j
Augusta Canal, between a tnau by the name of
James Cooper and Freeman - Johnson, which result
ed in Cooper’s getting dangerously cut and stabbed j
in the head, jneck and shoulder. Johnson was,
shortly after the occurrence, arrested by police of
ficers Ramsey and Byrd, and committed to jail
for further examination.
The Map Agent Again.
We received the following by the mail on Mon
day morning:
Atlanta, (fa., March 22,1856.
Mr. Editor: I am informed that you have
brought me to the notice of the public. In this
thing you were hasty. You knew that I was seek
ing a chance to show Mr. Gardner mvsamnle, had
u hope that when he examined it, he would take a
copy. That was one circumstance that led me to
neglect settling iny bill. I did not dream of leav
ing you in the lurch. I was in the office the eve
ning before I left, but did not get to see the gen
tleman who had charge of the job. I had to leave
suddenly, and <lid leave early the next morning,
but with the expressed design, as I can prove, to
get an acquaintance in Augusta to settle your bill
and Mr. McCafferty’s, the only bills contracted
since 1 left home but what were paid. I have re
mitted the money to my friend some days ago—
have received a receipt from Mr. McCaffertt, but
not from yon. If the remittance is lost, 1 will
make all right. Justice requires that all is made
right iu your columns. T ours,
Alfred Earle,
Pastor of the Baptist Church at Davis
ville, Bucks county, Pa.
So far as acting “hasty” in the matter is con
cerned, we waited about five weeks for the money
after the work was done. The Map Agent was in
the city about four weeks of that time. As to ins
calling the evening before he left to see the “gen
tleman who had charge of the job,” we know
nothing, although we have different hands continu
ously employed here from 7 o’clock in the morning
until 12 at night.
We had not the slightest disposition to injure
i)r. Earle in his business, and we did not feel dis
posed to permit him to injure us with impunity.
We feel satisfied that our little paragraphs obtain
ed justice for us in the remittance of s>, and we
publish Ur. Earle's letter in justice to him, and as
a kind of mutual interchange of receipts.
Rev. W in. Tl. Milburu.
This gentleman lias consented to deliver two
Lectures before the Young Men’s Library Associa
tion, on the 7th and Bth April next.
Wm. Gix.more Simms, Esq., will lecture on the
15th and lOth April.
Rabun Gap Railroad.
A correspondent of the Charleston Courier,
writing from Anderson, C. H, March 21st, says:
“ The Rabun Gap railroad, to which Charleston
has contributed so much, is progressing. They
are now cutting through the village, in order to
connect it with the Greenville railroad, and 1 un
derstand the contractors all along the line from
this place to the Stump House Mountain, are
rapidly getting along with their work.”
44 The Utility of Telegraphs.”
We copy the following dispatch, which appears
with the above caption, in the South Side Denu
tra f :
N'rw Orleans, March 2". —The same day the
P rs: i arrived in New York, her news was pul
fished in the cvning editions of the New Orleans
Associated Press. Quick work!
There are two rival telegraph lines to New Or
leanji from New York—the National anil Wash
lng on lines —and in consequence of the competi
tion “quick work” has to be done, r there is no
pay received. Consequently the proper heading
for this article should be, “the utility of competition
among telegraph lines.”
The Rev. Mr. Howell delivered a sermon
in the Lower Market House on Sunday afternoon
last. Quite a large collection of people, of ali
ages, colors and sexes were present.
Mr. Howell has adopted the. Lorenzo Dow style
of public street preaching, and like Dow, is
“ A slave to no sect, takes no private road,
But looks through nature up to Nature’s God.”
Mr. Howell is a good speaker, very ant in illus
tration, and exhibits a general acquaintance with
sacred history, and is a man of some ability as a
religious teacher to the masse s.
IW The Juliien Minstrels have tendered their
services at Columbia for a free Concert, in aid of
the Kansas cause iu the South.
The Juliien Minstrels.
This corps of melodists, new to most of our citi
zens. appear to-night at Concert Hall. We have
noticed very favorable remarks about their per
formances in other cities. The Columbia Times
says:
A. M. Hernandez.—This gentleman is one of the
managers of the Juliien Minstrels. His has been a
life of adventure, of daring, peril and hair-breadth
escapes.
All will remember the noted expedition of Lopez
against Cuba. Hernandez was an officer in that
expedition, and was warmly attached to his chief.
Burning with a desire to distinguish himself and
to liberate the Cubans from the despotic power
that ruled over them, he joined Lopez and his lit
tle band, was captured bv the Spanish soldiery,
underwent a summary trial, and were all ordered
to be shot. Crittenden was with them. They were
confined in the More Castle, heavily ironed. On
the morning of their intended execution, their
irons were knocked off, and they were marched
out to be shot With eyes bandaged they stood up
in single file, while a large body of soldiery, with
loaded guns, were paraded as executioners. The
command to tire was to be given, not audibly, but
bv a movement of the sword. Hernandez moved
the bandage from his eyes sufficiently to see what
was going on. He watched with intense interest
every movement and every gesture. His last mo
ments were at hand—everything was ready. The
sword was raised, Hernandez fell, and instantiv
followed the crash of musketry. Every one of his
companions were either killed or mortally wound
ed. Tearing the bandage from his eves, he sprang
to his feet, and ran for his life. He had not made
man v bounds before an irregular fire was made at
the flying fugitive. The balls whistled bv him like
hai! they pierced his hat—they tore his'blouse to
ribbons. On, on he ran; it was life or death with him,
and every muscle of his body was strained to its ut
most tension. Another volley sounded in his ears,
but it grew less appalling—he’was gaining upon his
pursuers. Ilis activity and fleetness were his only
friends, God his only helper. Hemadeforthe moun
tains, and gained secresy and momentary safety. Ile
fell exhausted and lay unconscious on the earth. Ile
was a strauger, and a fugitive from the laws. He
dared not show himself to a>k for bread. He was
in danger of starvation. The wild lemon, roots
and a portion of a dead horse, sustained him for
thirteen days while he thus roamed through the
mountain fastnesses. A price was upou his head,
and bands of armed men were in seach of him.
At length he was taken, and again consigned to
the walls of the Moro. He was tried, and sen
tenced to labor iti a chain gang near St. Domingo,
with a negro for his companion. Here he toiled
lor three years, when, at last, he was released
through the interposition of the American Minister.
lieniaiidfZ is a remarkable man—a versatile <re
nitis one of the most wonderful men of the
As a self-taught musician, he has few equals On
tile guitar he cannot he excelled, and the sweet
and mournful tones he can draw from the flute
will dissolve us in tears, while again, he can pro
duce the most lively and exciting airs. But we
must not confine ourselves to Hernandez: there
are others who deserve a just need of praise.
Campbell, on the banjo, is worth the price of ad
mission. Weston, too, has “ music in his soul.”
The Double Polka, by Dalsey and Hernandez, was
a sight worth seeing ; while the Columbia Jig, by
Campbell, showed the artiste. The Burlesque Cir
cus was a most amusing affair, and caused roars
of applause. Indeed, several of the company, in
the ■ lurse of the evening, were repeatedly en
cored ; and take it all in all, we never witnessed a
belter performance of its kind.
VVhv was the Twelfth Section Rejected!
This question, as asked by us recently, has at- J
traded the attention of a Know Nothing paper in :
Tennessee -the Daily Gazette, of Nashville. It, j
however, does not undertake to answer our ques- |
tion, but seeks to elude its force by asking us oth- |
er questions. It culls an editorial sentence from
the Washington Union, of 1852, and another from
that paper of 1855, and one from a speech of Gen.
Pierce, delivered in 1845, and asks us why were !
these sentiments uttered It asks us, will you at- !
tempt explanation? Dare you attempt explana j
tion ?
These very sentences have no doubt been pre
sented in these columns, and commented on and
explained, when the subject was fresh and the pub
lic took an interest in the discussion. Not the iso
lated sentences above, picked out to mislead, but
the whole text and context of editorial and speech
were considered. Should President Pierce be re
nominated, as we hope and expect he will be, all
this ground will be gone over again, if the Know
Nothings think they can make anything by it In :
the meantime we respectfully suggest that our
question, “why was the twelfth section rejected?”
is rather more practical and more pressing.
The Gazette says: “ if the repeal of that twelfth
section were a political sin, the heaviest in the in
i lictment against this modern, immaculate, bomb
! shell Democracy, what a shout of jubilation might
! its members raise. But alas! when weighed in
j the balance against the crying inconsistencies of
! this seraphic party, how quickly it kicks the beam.
If the American party, in order to nationalize, did
repeal that twelfth section, what, Sir Constitution
alist, has Democracy done to nationalize ?”
We answer that Democracy has passed the Xe
! braska-Kausas bills, and adopted their principles
as its own. It has set its face against the repeal of
the fugitive slave law—against the abolition of
slavery in the District of Columbia, and against
interference with the slave trade between the
States, and against the restoration of the Missouri
Compromise.
On tba contrary, the Know Nothings, by their
new platform, have thrown all these things open
for discussion. On some they “ pretermit ” an ex.
pression of opinion. But as to the Missouri Com
promise they speak out, and emphatically condemn
its repeal.
Know Nothing Prospects.
The Washington correspondent of the Charles
ton Standard under date of March 17th, gives in
the following paragraph devoted to politics, a
rather discouraging survey of the field, for the
supporters of Messrs. Fillmore and Donelrox.
In view of such a prospect, the conjecture arises
in many quarters, will Mr. Fillmore accept the
nomination. We opine that he will. He is not
; wanting in sagacity to perceive that there is no
I chance for his election. But he is of a pliant dis
position, wanting iu firmness to resist the persna
, sion of friends, and of those who, under the guise
.if friendship would use him.
In the way of politics there is little to note.
The Philadelphia Know Nothing nominations
•ommand but a fraction of the American and
Whig suffrages. North and East. Os ninety-six
inti-administration Pennsylvania journals, i most
ly Know Nothing) but twenty-six support the tiek
■r. Os sixty-five journals m New Jersey, but seven
support the ticket. Only three or four Massachu
setts panels support it, and none in Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, and New Hamp
shire. In this State, the Albany Register —now
supervised bv Joseph A. Scoville, formerly editor
>f the New York Pick, and private Secretary to
Mr. Calhoun—and several other Know Nothing
papers bolt the nomination. A new organ for the
party has been started at Albanv, in consequence
>f the Register's defection. New York will go
into the 12th of June Free States American Con
vention, and the end of the matter will be (what
s apparent now) the laying out of Mr. Fillmore in
;is political winding sheet, should he accept the
inmination of the Philadelphia Convention. Par
ies have gone to Europe to urge his acceptance,
but he is prudent, and will do nothing in over
iste. The prospects of the Democracy in the
■ining campaign are generally considered good,
.is matters now stand.

The Columbia, S. C. Gas Company, say
'hat iu consequence of the increased consumption
if gas, the cotnuanv have been enabled to reduce
the price from seven to five dollars per thousand

tablished there had more to do with the reduction
>f the price than the “increased consumption.”

lie editorial chair of the Dalton Expositor, in a
very neat valedictory.
A Short Race.—John Graves, a Know Nothing,
was elected to the Mississippi legislature. He got
a certificate of his mileage, had it duly signed,
and presented it to the auditor, who offered to
credit it on his account of one thousand seven hun
dred dollars, that he was a defaulter to the State
tor. Subsequently, the legislature declared him
ineligible to a seat, and he went home cursing
Catholics and furriuers.
An Army Officer Dead.—The War Department
have advices of the recent death at Robertson,
Tenn., of Ist Lieut. Wm. A. Nimmo, Fourth Artille
ry, U. S. A., of pulmonary consumption.

To the Editor of the Constitutionalist:
The citizens of Palmetto met, so as to approve of
the purposes of Mr. J. 'V. White on his Kansas
mission, in forming Emigrant Societies.
Rev. D. P. Jones being called to the Chair, ex
plained the objects of the meeting. He then ap
pointed a Committee, viz: Col. C. B. Taliaferro,
Dr. J. S. Weatherly, and Maj. JosEen Headden, to
draft resolutions, when they reported as follows:
Whereas, political affairs have assumed a dark
and threatening aspect in regard to southern inter
ests, and as it behooves every southern State to as
sume a firm, unwavering position in relation to
slavery. Therefore be it
Resolved, Ist. That the thanks of this meeting
are due, and arc hereby tendered to Mr. J. W.
White, for his able and lucid exposure of Kansas
a flairs.
Resolved , SI. That we commend him to the citi
zens of Georgia, hoping that they will give him
their aid in his laudable efforts to baffle the schemes
of the northern fanatics. C. B. Taliaferro,
Joseph Headden,
J. S. Weatherly.
, The report of the Committee being received, the
! meeting was resolved into the Palmetto Kansas
i Emigrating Society, to solicit means in aiding emi
j gration, and also to enroll the names of those who
j are willing to become citizens of that Territory.
Dr. J. S. Weatherly moved that the proceedings
| of this meeting be published in the Chronicle ami
! Sentinel and the Ginstitutionalist, of Augusta, Ga.,
; with the request that all other southern papers do
I the same, which being carried, the meeting ad

Reflections on a Visit to the Pyramids.
The Nile! the Nile! the Nile!
The ever-rolling Nile!
1 stand upon old Cheops’ tomb,
That age-enduring pile—
Creation’s gnomon marking time,
By centuries in their flow,
Sole record left of him, whose bones
Have mouldered long ago !
J, for the moment live,
With men of other days.
My thoughts commune with bye-past times, j
And, as abroad I gaze,
I see the sphvnx—the date tree groves,
The boundless wastes of sand ;
And pleased imagination roves
Through Pharo’s ancient land.
Parent of Scienee, bail!
Tho’ many an age has flown
Since thou, above all other climes,
In learning wert alone—
Yet mute memorials clustering stand.
Round this majestic pile,
Stern trophies of thy master hand,
Eternal as thy Nile!
The Nile! the wond’rous Nile!
When error stalked abroad,
Small marvel that untutored man
Adored thee as a God !
’Twas Nature’s impulse, gratitude—
Worshipped the fount of good ;
They thought not of a “Great First Cause,’’
Beyond thy gorgeous flood !
Their blessings—like the winds—
Came from an unknown source ;
None dared to ask thy secret spring,
Or trace thy winding course.
When heaven was brass- -when earth was dust —
When vain was human toil—-
Then came thy waves, with plenty fraught,
To slake the parching soil.
Roll on thou mighty Nile!
Refresh the arid plain.
Till He who oped thy hidden fount
Shall close it up again ;
Bur, ah ! a sudden waste is here—
Than Baraca’s field of sand
A moral desolation spreads
O’er this devoted land !
Thy power stops here oh, Nile !
Thy waters cannot cure
The vileness of the human heart,
Nor make its fountains pure.
There was a rill, which once gushed fortli
From stately Calvary’s side.
Degraded man from guilt is freed —
Laved iu its purple tide.
Bright is thy surface, Nile !
But yet a brighter stream
Pours down from that thrice blessed mount,
Commissioned to redeem.
Both shall roll onward, till your waves
At last united be,
And Hope, and Peace and Joy, shall reign,
Land of Nile, in thee.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
fSF“ There are plenty of young Gentle
men, as well as plenty of old ones, whose beards
are turning gray, which gives the former a good
deal of uneasiness, and exposes the age of the lat
ter. To avoid these little perplexities, we advise
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
color. It does not dye the hair, like the most of
the Hair Restoratives, but produces a gradual
change of color from the roots of the hair to the
linal end, and gives it a fine and glossy appear
anee. We have seen many persons who have used
it successfully, and pronouuced it the only inven
tion which has come up to their idea of a “cure
for gray heads.” We commenced using it about
two months since, and if we are any judge of age
and beauty, it has made us at least ten years young
er—in fact, we are beginning to look quite young,
and feel very much like getting a young wife. The
change is miraculous, and it would be as difficult
to find a gray hair uow 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 anv longer. It never fails.— St. Louis

Warts and Flesh Wounds, it is a most valuable

sands who have used it in the city of Boston and
vicinity, for the last thirty years. In no instance
will this Salve do an injury, or interfere with a
physician’s prescriptions. It is made from the
purest materials, from a recipe brought from Rus

Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1855. — Having noticed the
certificate of chemical analysis given by the cele
brated chemist, Dr. J. R. Chilton, of New York
City, in favor of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, that
it contained neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mercury or
Strychnine, and having received numerous appli
cations for it, I was induced to send to Mr. Rhodes
for the medicine. Since then, 1 have disposed of a
large quantity, mostly to residents of this city, who
have invariably been cured by it, and to whom 1
can refer. I am, therefore, satisfied in recommend
ing it to be all that the proprietor represents.
