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."

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 (xcitcment preveils. _ Well, take it altogether, that must have been a w ”rth seeing.

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 Orleans (Market.

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 >ld of January state that the inhabitants were re 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 utactured by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa.

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.

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. Prepared by C. Pemble, Augusta, Oa., and sold by I). B. PLUMB & CO., Druggists. Price 25 cents. d*c3mins ap2 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 fore Farrell’s, thus —II. G. FARRELL’S—and liis signature ou the wrapper, all others are counter i felt. i Sold bv JIAVILAND, RISLEY A CO., W. 11.
