Another Company for Savannah.—We understand that the “ Washington,” another sterling company attached to our department, will also make a visit to Savannah in the forth coming occasion, previously referred to by us. Be it said to the credit of the “ Washingtons,” that they have helped in no inconsiderable degree, to uphold that character, which has always distinguished our firemen, who are un questionably second to none elsewhere. Charleston has just pride in her Fire Depart ment, and her citizens feel confident that the representatives of it she sends to her sister city will never allow it to suffer from a want of a display of those qualities with which we have been familiar for so many years. Who doubts, that the “ Washingtons” will be equal to the coming and ever to be remembered occasion. ' [ Mercury. The Secret of Impeachment.—ln a private letter to a friend, defending himself against a charge of inconsistency in his course in respect to the impeachment busi ness, Representative Cary, of Ohio, says : When the impeachment failed before it was deemed desirable to get up a case, and Stan ton was selected as the agent to bring it about; he was induced to remain in the War Department to bully the President, and get up a case for impeachment. I believe that the whole affair is a bold, bad, damnable scheme, and I predict that even the general unpopularity of the President, and a general howl against him will not satisfy the people that revolution is now necessary or justifiable. Persons iu the habit of using brown sugar will be interested, if not pleased, to learn that it has been discovered to be the home of innu merable microscopic insects. Election Items.

Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad.—The Columbia Phoenix, of Thurs day, says : The annual meeting of the stockholders of this company was held yesterday at Nicker son’s Hotel. The meeting was organized by the election of Hon. James Hemphill, of Chas ter, as Chairman, Messrs. John Y. Bryce and Charles H. Manson, as Secretaries. A quorum of stock being represented, business was pro ceeded with. The President, Hon. William Johnson, submitted his report, accompanied by those of the Superintendent and Treasurer, and the committee to whom the same was re ferred, reported that they had examined the same, and find the condition of the company to be fully as favorable as could be expected in the general depressed condition of the country. They believe that the completion, this year, of the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, will, with other causes, add greatly to the prosperity of this company. President Johnson being called upon, gave a detailed statement of the progress of the work on the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and of its financial condition and prospects; adding that they were brighter than ever. An election for a Board of Directors for the ensuing year was held, and resulted in the unanimous choice of the following: William Johnston, A. B. Davidson, J. A. Young, W. H. Neal, of North Carolina ; A. B. Springs, York, S. C.; G. J. Patterson, J. J. McLure, Chester, S. C.; W. R. Robertson, James H. Rion, of Fairfield; L. D. Childs, John Fisher, A. R. Taylor, of Richland. In consequence of change of residence, Maj. C. D. Melton was not nomi nated for re-election. At a subsequent meeting of the Board of Di rectors, Wm. Johnson, Esq., was unanimously re-elected President. The Autopsy of Mr. McGee.—The doctors have observed that the cranium was very thin, almost transparent. A thin, bony envelope is the indication of superior mind, and the thin ner it is the stronger is the talent. Such were the heads of Sir L. H. Lafontaine and of the Hon. A. N. Morin. The brain of Mr. McGee weighed fifty-nine ounces. The mean weight in man is forty-five ounces. That of the great Irish orator, O’Connell, weighed fifty-four ounces. That oi the Lord High Chancellor of England was fifty-three and a hall ounces. De puytren’s brain weighed fifty-eight ounces, and Cuvier’s fifty-nine and a half ounces. In Mr. McGee the liver and lungs were sound. There was, however, a large deposit of fat around the heart. The physicians were of opinion that the deceased might have lived long, a rather surprising circumstance, when his former habits and checkered life are taken in consideration. The Hon. Mr. McGee was assassinated like Pins IX.’s Minister, by severing the caritod artery, which carried blood from the heart to the brain. It is of sufficient capacity to bring to the brain as much blood as all the other arteries to other parts of the body. .This ex plains why all wounds of that organ are mortal. There are nearly ninety pounds of blood in the human body, each ventricle of the heart con tains one ounce, and, as it contracts seventy times per minute, it propels in that space of time two hundred and fifty younds of blood, of which one hundred and twenty-five pounds, or one-hall, are for the brain. - ♦ An Awful Tragedy. —On last Monday night, one of the soldiers belonging to Captain Summerhaze’s “ detail,” sent to this point to superintend the polls, was shot dead in a negro house of ill-fame, by some one as yet unknown. Persons have been arrested, but until the af fair is fully investigated, and the guilt or inno cence of the accused established, we forbear to express any opinion. While the sad occur rence is lamented by all, and regretted espe cially at this time (during the election,) no one fairly disposed can, in any way, reflect upon the fair name of our town, or attribute the melancholy occurrence to anything but a con sequence of dissipation and immorality. Captain Summerhaze, the commanding offi cer of the detachmant, and our Sheriff, Mr. R. A. Heath, were active and prompt in their en-’ deayors to bring to justice the guilty party or parties; and the gentlemanly bearing of the officer in power, and our knowledge of his gal lantry, persuades us that all fairness wilfbe shown in the investigation. An examination is now being held by the Coroner, the result of which we will give, if the verdict is given before we go to press.— Warrenton Clipper. Love’s sweetest meanings are unspoken. Ths full heart knows no rhetoric of words; it re sorts to the pantomime of signs and glances. AUGUSTA MAKKET. Reported for the Constitutionalist. Augusta, Ga., Monday Noon,? April 27,1868.

Be warned in time. Diseases like Indigestion and Dyspepsia are not to be trifled with. There is such a thing as being too late in these matters. Inflamma tion, or Scirrhus Cancer, or some other dangerous disease may ensue, when all restoratives, no matter how potent, would be ineffectual. Do not delay then. When the symptoms of Dyspepsia are first experienced resort at once to the great restorative medicine, HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS, and you will be safe. But few disorders involve greater suffering, and, if not in itself immediately dangerous, it is the source of many * deadly maladies. Even if it did not tend to greater evil, the mental and physical misery it produces is alone a sufficient reason why no pains should be spared to pre vent or cure it. In no country on the face of the globe is it so completely domesticated as in our own, where it is found in nearly every household. HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS are universally conceded to be the sovereign remedy for this annoying disease, as they act directly upon the digestive organs, correct and tone the stomach, and give renewed vitality to the system.— Acting delightfully upon the nerves and soothing the brain, renders them efficacious as a mental medicine, as well as a genial stomachic. If taken as a preventive, they will b« found particularly well suited to the diseases arising from the unhealthy season of autumn, and their use will prevent the creeping, unpleasant sensation often complained of when the chills are stealing slowly upon the patient. apls-eod4ctmyl HORSE POWERS AND Threshing Machines. —o — 'E are manufacturing the above machinery of our own pattern, and which we believe are superior to any of the kind in this market or any other, STRONG, DURABLE and CHEAP.
