Must remember that five o’clock, I'. M., every
«hiv, s the latest hour for receiving their adver
ji-iug favors, for publication the ensuing morning
lecture by Miss Sarah Pellet.
This ladv delivers a lecture to-night at the Ma
sonic Hall, upon the subject of “ Americanism in
Nicaragua." We are glad that the friends of pro
gress are to be favored with a graphic and truthful j
description of that country, upon which every |
tongue is employed, by a ladv, intelligent and ac- .
complished, who has had every facility to under
stand her theme.
The newspapers in New Orleans and other por- i
tions of the West, compliment Miss Pellet in the i
highest terms for her worth, intelligence and no
ble devotiou to Nicaragua. We are satistied the
Masonic Hall will be crowded to-night, to hear
one so youthful, beautiful, intelligent and ardent,
upon a subject at the present time so peculiarly
interesting.
The New Orleans True Deltet, of a late date,
“ Miss Pellet’s Lectcuk.—With the chivalry of
feeling which prompts us to act with all generous
kindness to the gentler sex, we attended with
pleasure and good will to hear this lady upon the
subject of “ Americanism in Nicaragua.” Others
have told us of the geology of the country, its ag
ricultural and commercial resources, the rude abo
riginal relics of the land of the mosquitoes ana ;
mahogany, the painted and sculptured rocks, tin- j
idols and monuments of Rnsacola and Tvapateeo, i
the plains and plazas of Jutibucut and Teguctgal- \
pa. llut she entertained us with wliat is perhaps i
much more interesting—the alternating reverses
and successes of the present Government, which,
she now holds, is permanently established. M e
were pleased with the modest and lady-like man
ner in which Miss Pellet read her lecture. The
audience evinced great interest and attention.
An uJmitiance fee of twcniy-fhe cents will be
charged to defray the expenses of the Lecture.
Tin- Oglethorpe Infantry.
This Company celebrated their anniversary on
Saturday last, at a rural retreat some few miles
from the city. It is, perhaps, unnecessary to say,
that the articles usually found on “both sides” of
a bill of fare, were in abundance, and that the
Company fared sumptuously.
The target shooting was quite exciting, as there
were a number of “crack shots” to contend for
the prizes.
Private Bexj. Simmons won the Company’s pi i e
A Silver Cup, inlaid with gold: three shots, aver
aging 2 10-10 inches.

About the close of the exercises of the day, as
the Company were preparing to return to the city,
the rain commenced, and while the previous at
rangements had proved very satisfactory, the de
scending showers were not favorably appreciated.
Fillmore No. 1, Fire Company.
On Saturday, Fillmore Company celebrated their
anniversary. lu the afternoon, they met at their
engine house, and took their engine and appa
ratus and marched up Broad street, and returning,
stopped in front of the Augusta Hotel, where they
exercised in a very satisfactory manner with their
engine.
At night, the Company met at their room, with
several guests, and partook of a sumptuously pre
pared supper. Several addresses, toasts, anec
dotes, songs, Ac., enlivened the evening, and at a
reasonable hour they closed their anniversary >ck.

The President’s Message.
We publish today the message of President
Pierce, in response to the calls, from both branch
es of Congress, for official information in refer
ence to the routes of transit through Central
America to our possessions on the Pacific, as well
as to the condition of affairs in Central America.
At the present time, this message will he read
with unusual interest. It takes a cursory review
of the acquisition of our Pacific possessions, and
states that cotemporancous with the conclusion of
our treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and when it had
become a matter of primary importance that this
country should have a transit route through Cen
tral America, Great Britain immediately interposed
her “ protectorate ” power over the Musquito
coast, and landed a military force at San Juan.
This assumption on the part of England ereuted
the necessity for the Clayton-Bulwer treaty; and
the long diplomatic controversy, in relation to the
construction of that treaty, with which both conn,
tries have been and continue to he so much agita
ted, has been the result.
There never has been a public question before
the people of the I’nited States, in which there
lias been more general unanimity than in the pro
priety, cogency and thorough rightful ness of the
American construction of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty. It is sustained by the spirit and literal
phraseology of the treaty it is sustained bv the
principles of tbs Monroe doctrine, which are in
fused into it —sustained by the necessity of our re
lations to Central America, and our possessions on
the Pacific, and by the living testimony of Messrs.
Bclwer and Clayton themselves. Independent
of the arrogant assumptions of Great Britain,
which originated that treaty, that power has since
attempted to enforce a construction of it, which
renders it a comparative nullity, and seeks indi
rectly to “occupy and fortify” positions, whereby
that government might cripple or destroy our
transit route to the Pacific.
The message fully exhibits the importance of
the quiet enjoyment of the transit route, and the
manifest necessity of diplomatic intercourse be
tween the governments of the States of Central
America and our own, to enable us to protect our
commerce and the persons of our citizens in that
region. It also fully and satisfactorily explains
the reasons which induced the recognition of the
new Minister from Nicaragua, and states that the
necessary measures of precaution have been adopt
ed to ensure the safety of persons and property bv
the several routes to our possessions on the Pacific.
Daniel Flaherty was yesterday exam
ined before Justices Oux, Seexcer, and Bt’sii,
charged with the murder of Joskrh Riddle, and
upon the testimony produced, the Court commit
ted him to jail to await his trial before the Superb r
Court. \\ learn that the testimony is altogether
circumstantial.

Central America and California News.
We have had late arrivals at New York and
New Orleans of the steamers George Law and the
Empire City. The telegraphed news by both arri
vals we have already published. These vessels
brought the latest intelligence from California and
Central America, we have received.
In California there had been heavy rains du- ;
ring the month of April, activity had been impart
ed to mining operations, and the grain crops were
very promising. The city and county of San
Francisco had been consolidated, in compliance
with a recent law.
At Sacramento, the Democrats had carried their |
whole ticket in the municipal elections. The Black
Republicans held a mass meeting there, but were
driven from the ground by violence.
A large lire had occurred in Placerville, on the
lltli of April. The loss was estimated at $50,000.
A powder vessel had sunk in the river at Sacra
mento on election day. Loss $70,000.
Active efforts are making to have a national road
opened to California, but whether it shall be a
railroad or common road we are not informed, but
know that there are exertions making in the At
lantic States and in Congress to have a railroad
established. A petition signed by fifty thousand
persons, is now on its way to Washington, asking
| Congress to make an appropriation for this great
enterprise. It will probably be the most numer
; ouslv signed petition ever presented. It has been
splendidly bound iu two volumes of one thou
sand pages each. A few miles of the Atlantic
and I’acific railroad have been built near San
Francisco, to act as a kind of invitation to the
j other portion of the line to “come along.”
The election for United States Senator has again
been defeated in the California Legislature.
The trial of Cora, for the muder of Gen. Rich-
I ardsox, has been postponed until June.
I The correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune
states that the news from the Indian country is
! less exciting than by previous dates. The regulars
riad retaken the Cascades from the Indians, and
i fiad had one or two skirmishes with them in other
places. In one fight it is reported that the regu-
I lars were defeated with a loss of twenty-six men.
An acrimonious correspondence between Gen.
j Wool and Gov. Stevens, of Washington Territory,
! is published in the Oregon papers. Stevens charges
j that Gen. Wool has underrated the importance
j of the war, and by his inaction allowed many lives
io be sacrificed. The General replies in substance,
j that the Governor is working for Bunkum, that
! he understands best his own business, and
j advises his friend, Stevens, when he writes to
Washington, to tell nothing but the truth. He also
| reminds him that the war oiiginated through the
i cruelties of the whites to the Indians; that the
immediate cause of it was the murder by the
whites of twenty-five Indians who were quietly
going cn their way to one of the Reserves. Per
haps the General might have exhibited to advan
tage less temper in this correspondence, but he
has been so baited and worried by the newspapers
and Governors of Washington and Oregon Terri
tories since this Indian outbreak, that many will
feel disposed to excuse him for pitching into them
a little.
The newspapers published at the Isthmus, give
very contradictory' accounts of the origin and pro
gress of the mob at Panama.
Gamboa, the Prefect of Panama, states that the
Americans, after sending for aid to the authorities,
fired upon the party that was sent to their relief.
This statement is, however, very flatly contradict
ed by other parties. The captain of the police.
Col. Garrito, states that the ungovernable and
infuriated character of those engaged in the mob,
he was unable to control. He says that he exerted
himself to the utmost, and saved the lives of at
least two hundred Americans, and vouches for the
devotion of the authorities in their efforts to quell
the mob.
Like all wars, “in the best regulated families,”
there appears to be several ways ol communicating
its origin as well as extent. Our gwverimieut has
sent put a special messenger to investigate the
matter, and when he returns we may be able to
know something reliable about it; but in the mean
time the St. Mary’s, and perhaps other vessels of
war belonging to the United States, may be ena
bled to render the transit route safe for persons
and property.
The correspondence between the Governor of
Panama and Commander Railkt, of the St. Maw’s,
is published in full. The closing note of the lat
ter is exceedingly sharp, lie tells the Governor
that his answer is not satisfactory, and that it does
not afford any satisfactory assurance of the safety
of the Transit Company’s passengers for the fu
ture, and that until he hears from his own govern
ment iu the matter, lie will take all the means in
his power to avert further danger.
We have reliable intelligence from New Grena
da, that a law lias been passed declaring, after the
Ist of September next, that Cartegena will be a free
port. The active enterprise and industry of citi
zens of the United States have made their marks
iu this portion of South America, and it may yet
attain the renown it possessed before Santa Martha
and Savanilla, monopolized its commerce and
trade. But we should not be surprised to learn
that England would find one of these days, in her
archives, some “protectorate” over if, from the
heirs of Simon Bolivar.
A Poisoned Valley.
The New York Daily News, of a recent date
says:
“ A singular discovery has lately been made near
Batar, in Java, of a poisoned valley. Mr. Alexan
der Louden visited it last July, and we extract a
paragraph from a communication on the subject,
addressed by him to the Royal Geographical So
ciety :
“ It is know by the name of Guevo Upas, or
Poisoned Valley ; and following a path which has
been made for the purpose the party shortly reach
ed it with a couple of dogs and fowls, for the pur
pose of making experiments. On arriving at the
top of the mountain the parly dismounted and j
scrambled up the side of the hill, at a distance of i
a mile, with the assistance of the branches of trees j
and projecting roots. When at a few yards from
the valley, a strong nauseous, suffocating smell
was experienced; but on approaching the margin
the inconvenience was no longer found. The val
ley is about half a mile in circumference, of an
oval shape and about thirty feet deep.
“The bottom of it appeared to be flat, without any
vegetation, and a few large stones scattered here
and there. Skeletons of human beings, tigers,
oeara, deer and all sorts of birds and wild animals
lay about in profusion. The ground on which they
ia’v at the bottom of the valley appeared to be j
a hard sandy substance, and ho vapor was per- :
ceived. The sides were covered with vegetation.
“It was proposed to enter it, and each of the par- I
ty having lit a cigar, managed to get within twen j
ty feet of the bottom, where a sickening, nauseous i
smell was experienced without any difficulty of i
breathing. A dog was now fastened to the end of '
i bamboo and thrust to the bottom of the valley, >
while some of the party, with their watches in ;
their hands, observed the effect.
“At the expiration of fourteen seconds he fell ofl' •
of his legs, without moving or looking around,
and continued alive only eighteen minutes. The
other dog now left the company and went to liis ■
companion. On reaching him lie was observed to
stand quite motionless, and at the end of ten j
seconds fell down ; he never moved bis limbs af
r, and lived only seven minutes. A fowl was
uo-.v thrown in, and died in a minute and a quarter, i
.\ud another, which was thrown in after, died in
the space of a minute and a half.
“A heavy shower of rain fell during the time that j
these experiments were going forward, which, !
j from the interesting nature of the experiments,
. was quite disregarded. On the opposite side of j
■ the valley to that which was visited lay a human
j skeleton. The head was resting on the right arm.
j The effect of the weather had bleached the bones ;
j as white as ivory. This was probably the remains
! °f some wretched rebel, hunted toward the valley,
who had taken shelter there unconscious of its
! character.”
This “singular discovery,” we presume, has
! been known in Java for centuries, and bv Euro
-1 peans ever since commerce or business has led
; them to that region. The “ Poisoned Valley” is
: nothing but an extinct volcano, and the carbonic
| acid gas which may be found at all times issuing
’ from about the mouth of the old crater, is the i
cause of the immediate death of all annuals that
inhale it. Other travellers besides Mr. Alexander
Louden, have referred to it. Sir Charles Lyell,
after noticing the above valley near Batar, says: ■
“In another crater in this land of wonders, the
sulphurous exhalations have killed tigers, birds
and innumerable insects ; and the soft parts of
these animals, such as the fibres, muscles, hair,
Ac., are very well preserved, while the bones are
: corroded and eutirelv destroved.”
Neutrals on the Sea. —The New York Courier, j
reviewing the European treaty of peace, thus notes !
that on some points the European nations have
suddenly leaped a bar’s length beyond us. They
have reached the point of abolishing not only all
privateering by themselves when neutrals, but
even when belligerents. We will not attempt to
say how much the progress of the marine power
of the United States, and the manifest fact that it
now has, and hereafter will have, the most formi
dable privateering force in the world, has to do
with this change of position. It is a thing, how
ever, to be considered. This government will pro
bably pause awhile, and measure the ground some
what, before springing after these remarkable fine
leapers of a spring morning. The question lies
particularly between us and England. The two
countries do not stand on the same level. The
policy of England is to maintain an immense navy;
our policy to maintain a small one. In warring
upon our commerce she stands little in need of
privateers; in warring upon hers we cannot do
much without privateers.
The Savannah Georgian.
Mr. J. G. Wright passed a half hour with us
yesterday morning, and handed us the following
prospectus. We publish it with pleasure, and wish
him the most abundant success :
The Savannah Georgian.— This time honored
journal of the Democratic party having been dis
continued—sold, and merged into the Evening
Journal, under circumstances over which the pro
prietors, J. G. Wright & Co., had no control, we
beg the indulgence of our friends and patrons for
a short time, as we intend, on or about the first of
July next, to re-issue the Georgian, under auspices
which we feci assured will give it a permanency,
and inspire a public confidence unknown in the
history of the Savannah Georgian for a series of
past years.
In politics, we shall take an active part in the
support of “ Democratic men and measures”—sucli
has been the course of the Georgian for a period of
nearly half a century, and such will mark and dis
tinguish its future career.
To the subscribers aud advertisers of the Geor
gian we beg leave to say, that all contracts made
since tlie first of Februaay last, the day of our pur
chase, will be carried out in the re-issue of the
Georgian, by J. G. Wright k Co.

V’eni! Vidi! Vici! The memorable
exclamation of the renowned Roman Conqueror
might, with the greatest propriety, be uttered by
Dr. Rhodes, for with his “ Fever and Ague Cure”
he has accomplished a greater conquest than ever j
wreathed with laurel crown the brow of Csesar.
“ Peace hath her victories, no less renowed than !
war,” and no greater triumph was ever achieved
by chemical skill than the production of this great
remedy for the malarious diseases which afflict our
western country.
It is surely a nobler ambition to alleviate (he j
miseries of the human race by destroying disease, !
than to inflict additional suffering by the desolating
scourge of war—and he who saves one life is great
er than lie who destroys thousands. The article in
question possesses the peculiar property of com
pletely neutralizing ihe effects of those poisonous
vapors which induce Fever and Ague, and, by its
unvarying success, fully establishes its claim to
the title of a perfect antidote to malaria.
It is powerful for good, harmless for evil. One
trial will commend it to your approbation,

Those who have been bald for years, are now

vicinity, for the lnut 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
sia—of articles growing in that country—and the
proprietors have letters from all classes, clergy
men, physicians, sea captains, nurses and others,
who have used it themselves, and recommend it to
others. Redding’s Russia SALYE is put up in
large tin boxes, stamped on the cover with a pic
ture of a horse and a disabled soldier, which pic
ture is also engraved on the wrapper. Price, 25
cents a box. Sold at all the stores in town or
country, or may be ordered of any wholesale Drug

Oxygenated Bitters.—The annexed
statement of Prof. A. A. Haves, M. I)., State As
saver, is ample testimony of the scientific manner
in which this medicine is compounded, and recom
mends it to professional men, as worthy a fair trial
in their practice:
An opinion having been asked for of me, in con
sequence of the formula for preparing Oxygenated
Bitters being known to me, I express the following
in form :
The composition of these Bitters includes those
medicinal substances which experienced physicians
have long resorted to for special action on the svs- I
tom, when deranged by Fevers, Dyspepsia, Agues, I
and General Debility, resulting from exposure or |
climate influence.
These are rendered permanent, and remain ac- !
tive, in this preparation, as a consequence of the j
scientific manner in which they are combined.
It was a well founded inference, that the prepa- j
ration, used in larger or smaller doses, would prove I
n valuable General Medicine, which experience has |
demonstrated.
In this medicine, no metallic salts can be fouu.l
by the most delicate chemical trials.

There never has been a discovery made in Materia

and rapidly healed, and decayed parts restored
without either scar or defect, than with HALLEY'S
