We Lave not received an account of the funeral | ceremonies of this much beloved and distinguished Georgian, but we cepy the following from the last Madison Family Visitor: “A BEAiTiriL Sic.HT.-Lightv-eight young ladies ' belonging to the Southern Masonic Female Col j le K e i !lt Covington, passed our town in the cars on ; Wednesday last, to attend the funeral of Hon.

Under this head the Philadelphia Inquirer has j some jndicious suggestions. If we look to men of success in any avocation of life, we find that, with few exceptions, they have been persons of courte ous deportment and generous impulses. We ex tract a few passages worthy of attention, expccial ly by the young: “A bland, polished gentleman— Polite and kind to all.” “ \\ e have more than once alluded to the beautv i I courtesy in tlie ordinary transactions of life. , The subject is an important one, although it mav 1 ! Ul| t seem so to the hasty and inconsiderate. Manv j | a man has lost a fortune in consequence of the i i want of a little courtesy. Amenity of manner and i propriety of language should be constantly culti- * ' vated. They possess a magic and a charm that ; I are admirably calculated to soothe and conciliate. I It is almost impossible to conceive how, at times, I a kind word or a gentle look touches the heart! The effect, although instantaneous, lives and liu- ; gers for years. There are many little and compar- | atively insignificant acts, that nevertheless de- i velope character and exercise influence. If, there fore, courtesy be constantly adhered to and careful- j lv practised, the effect cannot but be great. And | if.it.be Rs regularly violated and neglected, the : evil influence must be pernicious. ‘‘The little courtesies of life cost nothing, and j yet their value can scarcely be over estimated. ; j Amenity of manner lias a power that is felt more i or less in even walk or sphere. It imparts an ad- i ditional lustre to beauty, while it robs deformity :of much of its repulsion. Who, indeed, cannot ! j point out some forcible illustration V ” There is a thousand nameless little savings ! and doings, which serve to sweeten the pathway of life, and impart to the social circle a decree of refinement and delight that, to be appreciated, must be enjoyed. By courtesy of manner we do not mean a constant effort to be dignified and pre cise. or a rigid adherence to certain rules and for malities. Far from it. The heart should speak on such occasions, and the genial spirit of svmpa- - thv should be distinct and apparent. An act of | courtesy is never out of place. In high life or in ! low, it is like a beam of sunshine in the social ! world which it at once softens and brightens. It i may be recognized m the beggar as well as king. The proprietor cannot be too kind or considerate j tn those in bis employ. All should be treated not i only as human beings with human sympathies, but j as sensible and susceptible, and as capable, as well of understanding an act of rudeness, as of appre ciating one of kindness and good will. There is enough rudeness and asperity among j mankind, the natural results of difference'of views, j collisions of trade and clashing of interest. Let | us, then, whenever we can, adopt the gentle anil ; the generous policy, the refilled and the consider ate, and thus afford pleasure, by the exercise of the many little courtesies which all have, more or less, at their command, but which too many neglect to employ in their intercourse with their fellow creu lures.” Congressional.

Mr. Seward-—I call up the motion to reconsider Hie vote by which the House referred a bill to al ter and amend “ An act to appropriate money r<> remove obstructions in the Savannah river, below the city of Savannah, in the State of Georgia,” ap proved March LS3S, to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, with a view to j put the bill on its passage.

Mr. Walbridge—l demand the yeas ami nays upon the motion. The yeas and nays were ordered. Mr. Seward—l ask that the bill may be read. The bill was read in ejetenso. It provides that j the act of last Congress, mentioned in the title, he | ‘ so amended as to authorize the removal of lntpedi- j ' meats in the Savannah river, consequent upon the j obstructions known as the ‘‘wrecks,’’ placed there during the revolutionary war. j 1 The question was taken ; and it was decided in i ' the affirmative —yeas 100, nays 31. So the motion to reconsider was agreed to. The question then recurred upon the motion to commit the bill to the'Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union; and being put,it was deci- ! ded in the negative. Mr. Seward 1 offer the following amendment to the bill, and call the previous question : Strike out al. after the enacting clause, and in sert : That the balance of the unexpended appropria tion made by the act of March 3, 1555, for remov ing certain obstructions in the Savannah river, mav be, and is hereby authorized to be, applied, j under the direction of the Secretary of War, to remove the bars, shoals, banks, and other impedi- , uients in said river, caused by said obstructions, as proposed in the project of the commissioners, 1 approved by the War Department in Feb., 1858. The previous question was seconded, and the main question ordered to be put. The first question being upon the amend- ! mem Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, called for tellers. Tellers were ordered; and Messrs. Sapp and \ Walker were appointed. The House was divided; and the tellers reported : —ayes 6s, noes, noes tin ; no quorum voting.

Oratorical Flourish us.— Figures of speech are dangerous matters for orators to meddle with, ami should he handled with care and skill, unless an ambitious speaker is willing to risk making him s self ridiculous. A clergyman, not long since, re- I proved his congregation from the pulpit, and grave jy assured them thut u tli6 luiittl <>t I rovidence 1 would not wild: at their transgressions.” Ade ■ i scendaut of one of the Revolutionary sires, in the • National Legislature, astonished his brother legis lators by saying, ” My father and my grandfather - both saw the darkness of midnight (flittering in the - ’ blaze, of their dwellings.” John Randolph once 1 spoke of himself as “ standing on the vacant seat Y which we now occupy ” —but he was probably ah- sent at the time. Another distinguished member e | of the House of Representatives made the follow s ing pathetic appeal: “if this bill passes, a small, still coic. will he beard in the Western District, which will not knock in vain al the door ot Con l gress.”— Portland Transcript, Duties of Policemen. Mi. Coburn, the Chief ot I’olice of the city of Boston, on entering office, made an address to the ; < aptains of the Department, from which we take i **‘ e following passages, which will be found quite s applicable in every locality: To the police department the most important du ties are confided. The good order and well being ! of the city ; the safety of the lives and property 1 of the citizens are to be watched and guarded, j The weak are protected against the violence of the j strong; the innocent and unsuspecting against the arts of tlie designing, and the wiles of the indo j l en t and vicious. To secure from violence those j who are seeking the fruits of honest industry bv i their labor. To aid and assist, caution and advise, i strangers, against tlie snares and temptations bv which they are beset, and warn them to avoid tlie fc:sorts of the abandoned. On the night police greater responsibilities rest j than on day. The laborer, the merchant, the trades man, and men of all classes and pursuits, retire I from their labor and toil, in confidence that under | the cure and guardianship of the night police, all | | '-he fruits of their labor are comparatively safe | from the plundering hand of the burglar, the rob- j | ber, and the torch of the incendiary. To be us- I sured that the innocent and defenceless sleeper j | has, by the wise and humane appointment of law, i i guardians who are vigilant and watchful of their : ; safety and repose. i When rightly viewed, the importance of having i : none appointed as police officers but men of good j ; moral character, respected by their fellow citizens in private life; men of integrity; capable, ener i getic, discreet, courteous and civil in their general j deportment and bearing, must be most apparent; j and above all those of temperate habits. Nothing ; more degrades the station than intemperance. The i habitual use of ardent spirits should not be in | dulged in. Avoid visiting drinking places, except when called to do so in the discharge of official duty. Also, avoid all social familiarity with the abandoned. Any familiarity of that kind begets contempt. Be prompt and energetic in suppressing distur bances or indications of violence or disorderly conduct. Let no officer, by bis example, give countenance or encouragement to any of tlie vices : or crime which il is his duty to prevent. Tlie first | duty is to prevent as much crime as possible. It ! is better to prevent crime than to punish crime. ! Be humane in the discharge of your duties. How- i ever much may justly be said in favor of the police department, I desire that everything should still continue to bo done which can be done to elevate the character of the Boston police. Let each of us use our best endeavors to make the department respected. Let the character of the police be such as to command respect, not only of the better por tion (if the community, but that the abandoned violators of the law shall feel awed into compara- I live obedience. To accomplish these and similar I objects, much depends upon the captains and lieu- j tenants of the several stations. Your co-opera- ! tiou, gentlemen, is all important. The manner j and language in which you address and direct the men under your charge, your intercourse with Vo r men, as well as your intercourse with all whom you come in contact, all tend to charactize the department. Let us all use our best exertions to accomplish these objects. While at the bead of the depart ment mv best and constant endeavors will be given to promote tlie good of tlie city, the best interests, quiet, order and happiness of our fellow-citizens.” Congressional Proceedings.

On motion of Mr. Pennington, tlie President was requested to transmit any information in bis possession touching the recent disturbances at Pan ama, and the interruption of the routes to tlie Pa cific ; also, to state wlial, measures have been taken for the protection of American interests relative to the same. The consideration of the disagreement, of the House to tlie Senate’s amendments to Hie Defi ciency bill was resumed. Mr. Giddings took the floor and was attacking one item of tlie bill, when lie suddeiih fainted and fell. Much excitement followed, anil tlie House suspended the consideration of the Deficiency bill for an hour, receiving, in the meantime, reports from the various committees. Mr. Giddings was conveyed to a sofa, and after recovering his con sciousness, was taken home. Mr. Campbell, from the Post Office committee, reported the Ocean Mail appropriation and the Post Office appropriation bills. The House passed a bill granting upwards of one million five bundled thousand acres of land in lowa to railroads therein, by a vo'e of seveuty- : nine to fifty-nine. Mr. Smith, of Alabama, from the committee on Electians, reported in favor of Otero, the contest ant of the seat heretofore held by Gallegos, the delegate from New Mexico. No action was taken. Mr. Giddings, having recovered, re-appeared in the House and concluded his remarks on the De ficiency bill, condemning the Oregon war, and the course of the government on Kansas affairs.

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAR • Tin Ernpin State of the South still ahead in her Improvements. r HI ills article wiM compare favora- M. bly with any of like character _j3jS in the known world. I find that by putting it in the form of a Soap it gives it a decided ad van i*np4l' 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, Piles, Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Sore Byes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac., i extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby preventing premature baldness. It is also one of 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. Forshaving soap, it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and curing such sores as may be on the face. In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and particular old sorer, this soap has 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, anil wishing to avoid everything like humbuggerv, I leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not doubting they will then declare this to be the ne plus ultra of the age in the healing art.

It allays the most intense pains in a few minutes, restores the synovial fluid or joint water, and thus cures stiff joints ; it penetrates the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, cures rheu matism and palsied limbs of twenty years’ stand ing ; also, tumors, swelled neck, enlargement of the glauds, and is the best medicine for ailments i of cattle ever discovered, curing sweeny, spavins, splint, and all diseases which require an internal 1 application. Sun Pains of ten years’ standing cured by 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Mr. 11. G. Farkkll— Dear Sir: I had been af flicted with the “Sim Pain ” for the last ten years, and could never get relief except by bleeding; but by the use ot 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, applied over the temples about three or four times a day, it was entirely removed, and I have felt nothing of it since. I went into the stable one night, to apply it, to a horse’s sore leg, and being very lame he stumbled and fell against my legs' crushing and bruising them so badly that they turned black as tny hat, rendering them powerless. I applied your Liniment, and was well enough in a few days to go about again as usual. 1 also crushed in y linger in a shocking manner, by letting a buck log fall upon it ; your Liniment soon healed it up though. JOHN It. M’GEE. LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. 6, 184','. [ Esq. Parker, of ,V w Clinton, 111., says ;] Mr. 11. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment lias cured some bad eases here, which every other remedy bad failed in ; one was a white swelling and con tracted cords in the leg of a boy twelve years old. The leg had withered away, and was so contracted tliat be had no o of it. Three doctors had tried their skill upon it in vain, and he was fast sinking to the gritr< , when the boy’s father was induced to try 11. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Before the first bottle w'us used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store, and the first words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, I want all that Liniment you have in filestore; the I one bottle 1 got did my boy more good than ail that had ever been done before.” That boy is now well and hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings. lockout for Counterfoils ! The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called \V. IS.

DYSPEPSIA—ITS CURE. !|!IIERE is, probably, no disease that alHids B so large a portion of the human family ; no disease that stands so prominently among the' li--t of “incurables;’’ none for which more cures have been sought after ; none treated with so little sat isfaction by physicians, and none, probably, that has called forth so much renewed exertion and hard study for the discovery of a cure, as the dis ease, Dyspepsia. Cures have been sought after in change of physician, change of medicine, change of diet, change ot locality and climate, change of occupation and habits, but all to little or no pur pose; the disease continues, and the sufferer after years of unrequited labor in search of relief, lost to all hope of recovering, sinks into despondency and gloom which no change of scene or circum stance tan relieve. His disease is ever present before him, and his mind, the theatre of dark and gloomy thoughts, is continually calling up ghosts of buried and by gone pleasures, and he looks for ward to a future w here dissatisfaction, discontent, misery and suffering are most gloomily und pro minently portrayed ; irascible, fretful,’ distrustful even of his nearest and best friends, he drags out an existence, not only an incumbrance to himself, but burdensome to his friends, his acquaintances,’ and his own family. To till such 1 w ould recommend attention to the remedy known as “BLISS’S DYSPEPTIC RE Ml'.DY”—a remedy, new, very-simple in its com position, but from the manner of its combination possessing curative properties surpassing anv and every preparation known that has ever yet been prepared for the cure of Dyspepsia. It is safe, speedy and effectual, and may be relied upon with every confidence, for it yvill not fail even under the most discouraging circumstances, or with the most stubborn case, no matter of how long standing, providing the patient is willing not onlv to follow directions as regards taking the medicine, but oth er directions accompanying. The proprietor is well aware that the same pro mises have been and are being made through al most every print in the country-, as regards other preparations of like character,’and that bv adver using and heralding iis virtues to the public, In is only following in the beaten track of those who have gone before him, and who have promised and assured the same perfect and speed v cures ; vet as it seems the only course left to be pursued, he must adopt.it and in doing so, he is fully conscious that w hatever he may say of its virtues,'it will, bv ma ny, be regarded'as the “old story” manufactured for the purpose of extracting 'money from the pockets ot victims ot disease, who would, in the hope of finding relief, part with their last dime. He would, however, ask for a suspension of opin ion until a sixgi.k pack h;k has been tried bv them selves or their friend, and then if he has held out inducements tor its purchase, or made premises as regards its curative properties that are not made good by the preparation, he then is willing that it should he condemned. The remedy is no new preparation with the pro prietor—but a well tried prescription that he has used in his private practice for ten years, and al ways yy-ith the happiest results. In the using of it, a cure may not only be expected, but an immediate abatement of symptoms may be looked for within a day or tyvo. To all suffering from Dyspepsia, one trial is re commended, and if that trial is made in good faith, in accordance with directions, the invalid may’ have every hope of recovery.
