Jf’lle Docy Barre and Troupe.
These accomplished artistes gave an entertain
ment at Concert Hall, on Monday night, and were
most rapturously applauded. Thecomic pantomime
of the Eccentric Lover is a divertisement, of the
most mirth-provoking character, and was well re
ceived by a delighted audience.
To-night, M’lle. Barer and troupe appear, for
positively the last time in Augusta, and offer quite
an attractive entertainment of fashionable dances,
uoiiu performances, and will conclude with the
inimitable pantomime of the “Eccentric Lovers.”
All who appreciate graceful, beautiful and pleasing
amusements, should visit Concert Hall to-night.
Lectures by the Rev. Mr. Milburu.
The reputation of this gentleman has preceded
him to our city. As a cultivated scholar and an
accomplished lecturer, lie stands in the front rank.
His oratory is of a marked and peculiarly pleasing
style. The lectures he wiil deliver in our city, the
first of which will be at the Masonic Hall this
evening, have been much admired in the leading
cities of our country. We trust that our commu
nity will evince its good taste by greeting the lec
turer with a large auditory.
Mount Vernon.
We published a few days ago, the brief leu-.-c
fr- :n Mr. John A. Washington, to Mrs. Martha S.
Wofford, iu which he stated that the Mount Ver
non estate was not for sale. This announcement,
doubtless, caused surprise to many; because •
had been very generally understood that the pro
perty was in the market, seeking a purchase! , and
further, that the present proprietors were not able
to keep up the estate in a manner creditable to the
sacredness of the place, or agreeable to the taste
and feelings of the people of the United States.
Recent visitors to Mount Vernon state that there
does not appear to have been but a very slight out
lay f>r any improvements or repairs to buildings
or fences, since the death of Washington. Everv
thing seems to be left to take care of itself. T! •
editor of the New York Tribune, after a trip 10
Mount Vernon, says:
' All the fences in sight from the mansion are to
the last stage of decay; the plants and shrubbes
have sadlv fallen away ; the negro-nuts and bar
are very far gone; and the whole place has an as
pect of forlorn neediness which no deseriptfi
can adequately pamt. Even the new and spaeioi.v
brick tomb—the contribution of a patriotic and
opulent Philadelphian some twenty odd years ng
—is beginning to crumble away, whether for
faulty construction or mere sympathy with d!
around, I will not say. The tasteful marble sa •
cophagi in which repose the mortal remains <.f
George and Martha Washington alone maintain
tueir freshness; but let the protecting structure
crumble away, and they too must vield to the tooth
of time. The woods wuich closely approach th
tomb are full of fallen, decaying trees, as well a
tangled with briers; the soil of the gard.n ant.
i.v l, mtimbered grounds, was evidently once fst
ttle and productive, but now is in the last stages ol
exhaustion and sterility. The mansion (which i;
good part was kindly thrown open to us) is in
lit !e he Pel preservation; the carpets and floor
cloths arj evidently those on whicu the i'aiher c t
his country trod ; some paintings and engraving
which wer familiar to him atilt line the walls of
ru itn which was only opened to a few of us; th
key f the Bastile still hangs in the hall, with a;:
engraving of the storming of that dungeon by !>
side; and some other mementoes of the heorie
days of our Republic, precious mainly from our
consciousness that the nobiest American once re
garded them as his own ; but the house itself is
old and faded ; it sadlv needs paint and vigorous
renovation, in default of which it must soonpas
away If left to take.its chance, I doubt its continu
ing habitable twenty-five years longer.
“Os the noble trees that'em re shaded our Nation
al hero, some remain ; a fine English Holly (ever
green) particularly arrested my attention'; and 1
never saw more luxuriant specimens of the Bo :
(the border shrub) than line several garden walk
though the Gardens have well nigh disappeared'
This plant appears to thrive by neglect, so that i
seems a pity that the grounds had not been cover
ed with it.
“It were unreasonable and wrong to expect tin
present owner or owners who arc understood si
lo be wealthy—to keep their estate as tins should
he k opt without recompense for the outlay. Amei
ica has no right to impose such a tax on the heirs
of George Washington. And, on the other hand,
they ought not to think of driving a hard bargain
with those who seek to render ii a fit and perpetual
memorial of him who was “First in war, and in
peace as well. I believe the Mount Veruon esra;
eonsis's of about twelve hundred acres, which, it
it were not Mount Vernon, could hardly find a pur
chaser in its present condition at thirty dollars per
acre. If public gratitude should double this rate,
proffering $75, goo for the property, they ought not
to exact or ask for more. 'Then let a large portion
of the remoter land be sold off for what it will
fetch, and apply the proceeds to putting the hun
dred or two acres next the river into the very best
condition. Now let the keeping of Mount Vernon
be confided to some disabled veteran who has de
served well of his country, and when he dies, to
another such, and let a small payment be exactt-i
of each visitor in order to keep everything in tin
very highest condition, and thus let good uudei
keepers be at all times iu attendance on guests, t
watch and check every impulse to that mean spirit
of appropriation which has doubtless contributed
to bring the place into its present condition. One
lady breaks a twig here, and another pulls a
flower there to serve as a memorial of Mount Ver
non ; and the result is a great acceleration of the
work of ruin.
“Fellow-countrymen! let us try to render Mi.
Vernon a shrine that may bo visited bv foreigners
without disgust, and by Americans without
shame.”
Since preparing the above tor the press, we no
tice a statement that Mr. Washington' Has determ- |
ined not to sell the Mount Vernon estate, unless to
the State of Virginia.
Lyn ft Law in Virgin;a.— A ntan named W:->
llorxbecs, living in Lewis county, Va., for the a’ 1
leged ill-treatment of his family, was lynched 1
the young men in the neighborhood, one night last
week. The Western IferalJ says :
“ lie was taken a few nights since, by a party of i
men, who stripped him of his clothing, and rode
him for a length of time, in that condition, on a
rail; he was then taken to a briar patch and made j
to run through it. Whenever he evinced a dispo- ;
si'ion to move less slowly, u stout paddle bored
through with auger holes, was applied, which ac
celerated his movements most astonishlv. This
siereise being over, a coat of ;ar and feathers wa
applied, which Mr. Uornheck was made to were '
much against his will. During this operation he !
tried to taint, but the paddlo soon restored him to
consciousness; after which he was ‘left alone in
his glory.’ ”
Tbs Alton 111.) Courier, of the 7th instant, ex- |
presses hs opinion that we may expect another
very fine crop of wheat, and the opinion is based
upon the following reasons :
“The early winter was very mild, so much so:
that the late sown wheat, of which there is much,
continued to grow to a much later date than usual.
Then the snow will have protected it from injury
by the fro*;. Lastly, such uninterrupted cold
weather for so long a period, and until so late a i
dat*, augurs an uninterrupted spring-time when it
comes. Ii is further saui that the number of acr< ?
put under wheat in that part of the country las
fall was greater than ever before known." ' j
The Chicago Journal savs :
“. ! ?. ave U } r £* cr , P* next fall. The snow,
which Has tahen during the past s tx-v da-s
equal to five inches of manure. People capa'b'4 of
estimating matters imagine that the wheat cron „f
will be the largest ev v r harvested in thi*
country. To estimate the value of snow upon the
ground at ten millions of dollars would be a low
hgure."

*5gT At the recent charter election in Ports
mouth, Virginia, the Democratic Mayor and mem
bers of Council were elected by about one hun
dred majority.
The tGeorgia Railroad and Banking Com
pany yesterday declared a semi-annual dividend of
four dollars per share, beiug at the rate of eight
per cent, per annum.
The Columbus Sun says that it is reported
that the Small Pox is prevailing in Talbotton, and
that two deaths have been occasioned bv it.
I-v? 1* '- s stated that it is probable that Major
Br ford's company, of Kansas emigrants, will
number over four hundred by the time he leaves
the State of Alabama.
Major Donelson is called “the greasy Tennes
sean." Greasy as he is, (says the New Albany
Ledger,) a good many Know Nothings find it very
hard to swallow him.
Productions or Kansas.— Gen. Whitfield, Ter
ritorial Delegate from Kansas, writes a letter con
firming all that lias been said of the inducements
which that Territory offers to emigrants. We
quote as follows:
In regard to soil, Kansas is unsurpassed, pro
ducing from sixty to eighty bushels of corn per
acre; twenty-five to forty’ bushels of wheat per
acre. The finest oats I have ever seen grow, we
raise in Kansas. In fact, I have seen nothing
planted in Kansas (except cotton > that does not
produce more to the acre than on the best lands of
Tennessee.
Besides being a fine grain and grass country, it
is a part of the hemp region of the United States.
Hemp is decidedly the most profitable crop now
raised, and the statistics will show that the plant
ers of Western Missouri are making more money
per hand than is made in any other State in the
Union. It is uothing uncommon for farmers to
pay three hundred dollars hire for negro men per
year.
I was raised in Tennessee, and have been in
nearly every State of the Union, and I say to you
m all candor, that I have never seen ant’ country
that possesses as many advantages to new or old
settlers as Kansas. Our friends in Western Mis
souri—with similar soil to Kansas, make from six
to eight hundred dollars a hand per annum. This
will, I have no doubt, seem large to you, but I as
sure you it is strictly true.
The climate of Kansas I regard as being far bet
ter than in Tennessee ; from first September until
first March we have but little rain—mostly clear,
dry weather. The past winter has been, though,
colder than ever known before. Our country I re
gard as very healthy; in some localitics chills
and fever prevail to some extent —we have no pul
monary diseases in Kansas. In regard to supplies
you can procure anything you may want in Mis
i iiiri—if you get to Kansas by May or June you
can raise plenty of corn. Our lands are ready
cleared—you can make your location one day and
commence farming next.
la Debt and out of Debt.
Os what a hideous progeny of ill is debt the
lather! What meanness, what invasions of sell
respect, what cares, what double dealing! How,
iu due season, it will carve the frank, open face in
to wrinkles; how, like a knife, it will stab the hon
: ost heart' How it has been known to change a
goodly lace into a mask of brass; how, noth the
“damned custom” of debt, has the man become
fie callous trickster! A freedom of debt and what
nourish.ng sweetness may be found in cold water :
whru toothsomeuess iu dry crust; what ambrosia!
.ourishment in a hard egg Be sure of it, he who
dines out of debt, though his r.iea! be a biscuit and
in onion, dines iu “the Apollo.” And then for
c-.meut —what warmth in a thread-bare eon*, if the
tailor’s receipt be in your pocket! what Tyrian
aurple in the faded watstcoar, the vest not owed
for! How glossy the well worn hat if it cover not
tua aching of a debtor! Next the home sweets,
the out door recreation of the free man. The
street door falls not a kuell on his heart, the foot
on the staircase, though he live on the third pair,
sends no spasms through his anatomy ; at the ran
of his door he can crow forth, “come in,” and his
■ilse still bea' healthfully, his heart sink not in
ois bowels. See him abroad. How he returns
look for look with any passenger, how he saunters;
how, meeting an acquaintance, he stands and gos
sips !
But then, this man knows not debt—debt that
casts a drug iuto the richest wine ; that makes the
fjod of the g ’ds unwholesome, indigestible ; that
sprinkles the banquet of a Luculles with ashes,
and drops soot into the soup of an Emperor; debt,
that like the moth makes valueless furs and vel
vets—inclosing the wearer in a festering prison,
the shirt of Nessu* was a shirt notpaidfbr;) debt
that writes upon frescoed walls the handwriting
of the attorney; that puts a voice of terror in the
. snooker - that makes the heart quake at the haunt
ed fireside ; debt, thc.t inviable demon that walks
abroad with a man, now quickening his steps, now
making him look on al! sides like a hunted beast,
and now bringing 10 his face the ashy hue of death
j as the unconscious passenger looks glancinglv
: upon him. Poverty is a bitter draught, yet mav—
; and sometimes with advantage—be gulped down.
Though the drinker make wry faces, there mav af
i ter all, be a wholesome bitterness in the cup. But
! debt, however courteously it be offered, is the cup
: of a syren, and the wine, spiced and delicious
1 though it be, is poison. The man ont of debt,
j though with a flaw in his jerkin, a crack iu his
shoe leather, and a hole in his hat, is still the son
of liberty, free as the singing lark above him; but
the debtor, though clothed in the utmost braverv,
what is he but aserf out upou a holiday—a slave—
to be reclaimed at any instant by his’ owner, the
creditor? My son, if poor, see the wine running
spring, let thy mouth water at least a week’s rool,
think a threadbare coat tiie “only wear,” and ac
knowledge a white washed garret the finest hous
ing place fora gentleman. Do this, and flee debt.
So shall thy heart beat peace anJ the sheriff be
confounded. —Dougin* Jerrold.
Vitriol Throwing.
The vitriol thrower, whose rascalities have been
reported from time to time in this paper for the
last six weeks, continues to evade the vigilance of
the police. Almost every night, some lady, who
has been attending an up town theatre, concert, or
meeting, finds, on returning home, that her costly
dress is ruined by vitriol. The cowardly perpe
trator generally confines his attention to ladies and
children : but we have heard of instances where
gentlemen’s overcoats were found to be serious) v
damaged in a similar way. To persons who would
like to lend a hand at catching this fellow, and turn
an honest penny at the same time, we would state
that rewards of SSOO and $l5O have been offered
by the friends of parties injured, for bis arrest.
The first vitriol thrower in this city made his ap
pearance six or seven years ago. He was a young
doctor, named Wells. He conceived the idea of
ridding Broadway of the nightly street-walkers,
by spoiling their gaudy finery with vitriol. He
limited his acts to that class exclusively, and, for
several weeks, escaped arrest. At last he was tak
en, and placed in the Citv Prison, where he ended
his days, by lashing the blade of a razor to a stick,
and cutting the main artery of his legs. He was
supposed to have indulged in this singular species
of crime, partly in a reckless humor, and parti v
with a whimsical view of benefitfing ocietv by
driving a notorious class of vagrants front Broad
way.
i'he name dangerous fluid was'aflerwards used on
several occasions, by persons in disfiguring the face
"f others against whom they entertained a grudge.
But it was not till two years' ago that vitriol throw
ing was resumed on an extensive scale. The name
f 'he guilty party and the circumstances of his
arrest, are well known to our readers. He, like
his predecessors, was originally moved by a de
sign of purifying Broadway; but he gradually en
larged the sphere of his operations, and indulged
in a crusade against showy dresses, in general.
He was imprisoned for a few weeks, and then ta
ken to an insane Asylum, whence he was soon af
ar discharged. The present operator carries on
his work more extensively than either of the for
mer, and with a aecresv and cunning that savor
more of infernal malice than insanity. It is to be !
hoped taat the extensive preparations made to ar
rest him will be successful. But, even if he is
captured, our laws provide no adeouate punish
ment for Ins conduct. He can be convicted of
nothing more than vagrancy, or disorderly con
duct, or constructive assault and battery; and if
every offence committed by him should be' clearlv
proved the total of the penalties would amount to
far loss than he deserves. Some law ought to be
devised by which such villians. when captured,
may be properly punished.—X Y. Jour, of Com.
The Women Folks let loose. —Great Recite
.{'it.—A despatch to the St. Louis Republican,
dated Princeton, Ind., March 2Sd, says :
A number of ladies met at the Methodist church
this evening, equipped with axes and hatchets,
and from there went and destroyed five groceries,
en*i-ely demolishing the contents of each. Great

Connecticut Election.
Washington, Aprii 8. —The election returns re
ceived from Connecticut indicate a favorable result
to the Democratic party.
A later dispatch, received night, states that
there has been no choice for State officers by the
people. In the Senate there is a Black Republican
majority, and in the House the contest has been
close and the result doubtful.

New Vork, April B.—The Cotton market has
been stiffer to-day, but with no quotable advance.
Sales 2,000 bales.
Boston, April 7.— Advices from Cape Verdes to

duced to the last extremity for want of food, and
that even a few instances of actual starvation had
occurred. The supplies were almost exhausted.
New ’Vork, April 7.—Flour is drooping, but
Ohio is unchanged. Wheat is firm at from $1.70
@51.72 p? bushel for Southern Red. Corn is im
proving, and is quoted at C3c. $ bushel. Freights
are lower.
Baltimore, April 7.—A fire occurred in this
city last night, in the stores of Messrs. Carri,
Howe A Co., Warder A Co., and Gable, McDowell
A Co., in Baltimore street. Tliefirst two were to
tally destroyed, and the last much injured. Sever
al other buildings were damaged. The loss is es
timated at *2 >,ooo, but it is fully covered by in
surance. Two men, it is supposed, have been bu
ried beneath the ruins.
Washington, April 7.—ln the U. S. Senate to
day, a memorial from the Kansas Legislature was
presented, but no action taken thereon. Mr. Gever
made a speech denying the right of Congress to
interfere with domestic affairs. Mr. Keitt made a
speech on the subject, defending, of course, in
eloquent terms, the Southern side of the question.
Resolutions were adopted looking to the suppres
sion of the Coolie trade and declaring it piracy.
> ' ’ Dr. M-Lamps Celebrated Vermifuge
AND LIVER PILLS.—A singular combination,
! but very effectual, as the following will show :
Nkw York, Nov. 20, 1852.
j Knowing, from experience, the valuable qualities
’ of I)r. IP Line'* Vermifuge and Liver Pilh, pre
i pared by Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh, I have for
! some time back considered it my duty, and made
I it mv business, to make those articles known wher
ever I went among my friends. A short time ago
I became acquainted with the case of a young girl,
who seemed to be troubled with worms and liver
complaint at the same time, and had been suffering
for some two months. Through my persuasion she
purchased one bottle of Dr. j Plane'* Vermifuge,
and one box of Liver PiiU, which she took accord
ing to directions. The result was, she passed a
largo quantity of worms, and thinks that one box
more of the Pills will restore her to perfect health.
Her name and residence can be learned by calling
on E. L. Theall, Druggist, corner of Rutger ami
Monroe streets.
IYY Purchasers will be careful io ask for DR.
M’LANE’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, umnu

i?fTo the Million.—Professor Wood,
of St. Louis, has, after years of deep study and un
tiring research, succeeded in presenting to the
public an article superior to any now in use, and
indeed it. is truly a wonderful discovery—we ad
vert to his HAIR RESTORATIVE, the only arti
cle that has been completely successful in cheating
age of his gray locks, removing dandruff, itching,
scrofula, kc. It restores the grav-headed to more
than the original beauty; adds new lustre to locks
already luxuriant; having the effect oti coarse,
harsh hair to render it glossy and wavey; fastens
permanently hair that is loose or falling, and many
other qualities which will become known as soon
as used.
The pride of mankind is singularly developed in
the keeping and arrangement of the hair; perhaps
from the fact that it is the only portion of the hu
man body that we can train in any way we choose;
how important, then, having this portion lefi to
cur care, that we should use all the means science
has placed in our hands to render it beautiful and
permanent. If von would have beautiful hair,
glossy hair, permanent hair, hair with its natural
color elegantly preserved to extreme old age, don’t

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.
The Empire State of the South still ahead in tyer
r gill IS article will compare favora-
JL bly with any of like character
in the known world. ’•
I find that by putting it in the form
of a Soap it gives it a decided advan- i9HB‘
tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment.
or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article, there
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers,
Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Files,
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt
Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore
Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby
preventing premature baldness. It is also one (if
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a
superior dentrifice to the teeth. Forjshaving soap,
it forms a rich lather, softening the heard, and
curing such sores as may be on the face.
In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and
particular old sores, this soap lias proved a balm
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is only
requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, and
wishing to avoid everything like humbuggery, I
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not
doubting they will then declare this to be the ?.<■
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.

H. G. FARRELLS
CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT
IS well known to possess the most wonderfully
healing, penetrating and stimulating properties,
and by its promptness in effecting cures, which
previously had resisted all other medicines, ad
ministered by the most scientific physicians, has
placed it far beyond any .similar remedy ever in
troduced to the people of the United States. It
stimulates the absorbents to increased action, and
thus enables nature to throw off disease it pene
trates tv the hones, adding strength and activity to
the muscles—it is powerfully anodyne and thereby
allays nervous irritation, producing a delightfully
pleasing sensation through the whole frame. Owing
to its remarkable anticeptic properties, it purifies
and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle
which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal;
it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedy
cure. This Liniment from its penetrating anil
strengthening qualities has been found to be a spe
cific for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswellings and
diseased joints, and in fact ail complaints invol
ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of
Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years' standing,
and affections of the Spine whcrei'i the entire spi
nal column was so crooked and distorted, that tru
patient could not walk or stand without artificial
support. Numerous cases of Palsy have been
cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing
but th“ dried skin and bone, and the limbs totallv
v, ithout use or feeling. For Children with Group
it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over
the throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest
it never fails to give relief in the severe Coughs at
tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds. It heals
wounds speedily—will cure Sealdhead, Mange, etc.
Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable
medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for
Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Stiff Joints, Sweenev,
Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes 61
Galls, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc.
Look out for Counterfeits !
The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called
W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
when the spurious mixture lias wrought its evil
effects.
The genuine article is manufactured only by H.
G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole
sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois,
to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad
dressed. Be sure you get it witlf the letters 11. G. be
