•pjjp company have been, during the past
t> j._ performing “ The Serious Family ; ”
5 a capital hit at the puritanical cant
places the essence of religion in words
j forms. Tho family is so religious that a
would be a sin, and a dance, entire
m.; of salvation ; while Mr. Aminadab Sleek,
,di a trusty servant in collecting sub-
Options for supplying the Ilottefttot chil
. e n with flannel jackets, is too pious to sub
... i, e from his own pockets for the relief of
, ))0 r widow, whose husband, a laborer, has
been killaJ by a fall from a scaffold. The
fajgct of the comedy is to show, by means
cf playful satire, that true religion does not
consist in the seif deprivation of all that ren
life pleasant; it does not lay in a sad
ici and in a stern brow ; nor in forms and
but in a good heart, a clear con
vener, true charity, and a strict observance
of the golden rule. The truly pious man
sees no harm in anythihg not intrinsically
irrofig) but the canting hypocrite sees wrong
ieveryt bing that does not assist to further
i.jjown interests or projects. The former
wa ld willingly, nay eagerly, obey the com
v irul. and “give up all to follow his Lord,”
,vhile the latter, instead of giving up, would
more'apt to demand.
The piece was well acted. Mrs. Lovell,
..the fashionable, gay, good hearted, chari
•iihle little widow, forming a strong contrast
<i the hypocritical, cold hearted Sleek, who
ws admirably personified by Raymond.—
The other characters, Capt. Maguire, and
Charles Torrens, were extremely well deli
mited by Messrs. Lovell arid Karnes.—
\Ye part with much regret with the
cmijimy, which has ministered so much

7 J “►?aged World ” and oilier poems by
Jim.es Bailey , author of Fes tits.
Many of The men of letters have sub
. hi);*, Jill terms unqualified to tlie claims of
Mr. Bailey* as a poet of the first class
From the choice phrases of pfinygeric
•• trumpet-tongued,” many can And much;
to eulogize without troubling themselves to
road his poems.
Tap praise bestowed on Festus without
limit or measure, had also awakened the cu
riosity of those who judge for themselves
and the lovers of poetry have thus enjoyed
much to admire from his burning words, and,
the mosaic texture of his materials, mixing
the precious gem at times with the most pal
try piste—lines of the highest beauty in the
same page with some of the wildest extrava- |
gnice, and others of the most occult aud
mystical obscurity, theological metaphysics
and arguments that threaten headache in at-
Pmptinrr to untie their kn >t and master them,
scaring away the sweet visions of poetry so
oiteu conjured up.
“The Angel World ” appears cut out on j
the same German fashion as Festus—cast in
llie same metaphysical mould —the same |
lack of distinctness at times, puzzling and
(ringing the general reader to a dead pause, I
frying to show by the very first line, things
“Far round the infinite extreme of space.”
The auxillinry poems embrace much of .
real poetic beauty, and are free from the
conceits that detract from the admiration duo
bthe poetical inspiration of the poet. In
ked, from what we have read of Mr. Bai- j
ky’s works, his mind appears more fitted for i
‘he light effusions of lyrical poetry than lor
themtjestic weight of blink verse, which
khis hands appears at times to be poetry
rt fn mad. In Festus appear many very
s 'feet efforts of versification, and also in his
nt work, among the best of which may be
cbs;e 1 the “Hymn of Thanks,” “The
and one or two more. In h:s
I)n g poem — 1 Festus,” and “ The Angel
orlJ,”—fine lines and ideas only occur 4 at
,n g intervals, like Hashes of lightning
r<| ugh a troubled sky.
• Wo have been permitted to make the
following extract from a letter of a gentle
manin California to a friend in this city :
SAN FRANCISCO, March 21).
1 ‘ lon can tell your friends that it is very
hi cult to obtain a situation here ol any
on account of the innumerable quantity
1 ■ dorks and young men capable of all kinds
1 business, who have made their way into
I country. You can form no estimate of
?Je dumber of young men who are here out
0i employment, and how they get along is a
Mystery to me. They do not know what
iai 'd work is, and consequent!} 7 get disgus
t'd with the mines, and centre here to find
Cll >ployment. They pay very good salaries,
as an instance, some of the river boats pay
vSOO per month for a clerk, but every one
Cannot obtain these situations as there is but
W of them.
1
Business /,er3 is in such a fix now that
it is impossible to know what w r ould pay,
market is very fluctuating, the do-
Ir governed altogether by the quantity
“ n d I UVmk it risky to ship any thing out
e ’ fi *for flour Ch.fi supplies this market,
,f a cheaper rate than it can be done
lofJ i home, I knew flour here bring once
XJ- i *
’ Uut iu a few days it was down to S2O,
owing to the arrivals of some three cargoes.
Lumber and every thing else is very low,
I have seen sales at $35 and S4O per M.,
which will not pay the freight out, and there
is enough here and ori the way to supply* this
country for at least two years, hy which time
Oregon will be able to furnish it at a cheaper
rate than from home. As for the mines, I
know that there are quantities of gold, but
there is a very small average, one seldom
makes more than ordinary wages. Some
times a man is fortunate and makes a pretty
fortune in a short while, but I assure you it is
nor general, notwithstanding the tremendous
stories which are published. I believe if a
man will make up his mind to save his money
he can go into the mines, work faithfully, and
in a lew years will gather avery r pretty sum,
but it is a dogs life and very hard work.”
SAN FRANCISCO, March, 29.
Friend Purse : —Since my last I have con
cluded to vacate the digging, and travel to
wards the mountains, nnd if anything of in
terest comes in my way, you will be notified.
Mr. Frank Ward, of the firm of Ward &
Cos., an old settler, attempted suicide some
few days since by shooting himself in the
head w:th a pistol. I understand ho is im
proving, nnd may possibly get over it with
the loss of an eye. Kfi ha5 f bcen specula
ting largely in real estate and consequently
lost money, not being aide to meet a pay
ment is said to be the cause of the act. He
was a high minded honorable man and very
much liked. Somo few months back lie
was reported to bo worth from three to four
hundred thousand dollars.
There has been several expeditions fitted
out from here within the last month for the
purpose of finding the mouth of the Trinity
river, which is supposed to empty into Trin
idad bay. They have been digging on the
head of that river with considerable success,
but have not been able to explore it for any
distance down, owing to the Indians which
are said to he hostile, and there being no
way to transport provisions ; if the mouth
of the river is found, no doubt there will be
a city or and -pot located, and anew place will
be opened for the thousands who are congre
gated in this country to mine it. I have no
doubt the river is rich, as it has been dug and
gold found as far down as it has been ex
plored. There are several vessels now left
for th j river, but 1 see no certainty of their
finding it, as nothing has yet been heard from
the first expeditions.
Report sa3’s the miners have had consid
erable success during the whiter, as the tre
mendous rains have shown new deposites.
We are about having a very exciting elec
tion for county officers on Monday next. —
The office of Sheriff seems to claim the
most attention. Tlie principal candidates
are Col. J. J. Bryant, (Dem.) Towns, (Whig)
and (Independent,) Col. Jack H;u*s of the
Texan Rangers. The first an old gambler,
the second a gentleman, and the last tlie
world knows. I hope and trust the good
people of this town will support him. The
office is said to be worth from 15 to $25,000
per year, hut I cannot vouch for the correct
ness of ir. I understand that the first named
man has already spent some SIO,OOO in free
dinners, liquor, &c.. towards gaining his elec
tion, which I, for one, hope will never take
p'acV.
Every article has fallen here within the
last two months. Lumber, which is the
principal now arriving, will not pay freight.
There is more of it here now, than wit. sup
ply the demand, and how many million feet
there is to arrive is more than I c m say.—
The tine weather we have had here for
sometime hack has sent off thousands to the
mines ; but 1 understand, owing to the quan
tity of snow on the mountains they have
done little or u lilting, and soma have re
turned with the intention of holding on until
it is later. I have understood for a fact that
lumber has been offered on hoard vessels in
the hay if it was taken off and frieight paid ;
the lighterage on lumber here is from 8 to
$lO per M. Oregon will no doubt supply
this country with that article hereafter.
If there is anything that will interest you
during my tour in the mining district, you
sh ill lie nr from me.
Yours truly, M. T.
TO THE CITIZENS OF SAVANNAH.
That period having arrived in which a
Board of Health for the ensuing season has
been organized, by its rules it is made my
dut3’ as its Chairman to address you.
There is little to bo said, except to remind
you of the importance of a careful obser
vance of the several ordinance* of the city,
relative to those matters placed specially un
der the cognizance of this Board. They en
join upon you to rid your premises of all nui
sances of every kind, and to keep them free
from every impurity or cause of disease or
discomfort. 1 ask of you a co-operation
j with the Committees of yourseveral Wards,
and an interest in them in promoting the ob
ject of their appointment. It s for you to
make their duties light or heavy, agreeable
or the reverse, and I trust they will receive
your courteous consideration.
To you, my associates, I would say, that
though your labors may oftentimes ho thank,
less, yet they are imposed by the public good
and must yield the reward of a consciousness
of duty well performed. It is due to your
own dignity to seo that all your requisitions
are complied with—and to you I look with
confidence for support in the performance of
the task we have jointly accepted.
In a growing city like ours, as population
becomes denser, more attention to cleanliness
is necessary, and the greater the care and
labor requisite to promote it. Water is the
great purifier and public opinion will I hope
more nnd more strongly cal! for the abun
dant supply’ which is almost at our doors and
can bo had at so small a cost. Then with a
fountain in every square, a btil in every
house, and a sewer in every lane, a Board of
Health may ho dispensed with, and the offi
cers of the Corporation will be fully adequate
to keep off disease by the performance of their
ordinary routine ot street cleaning.
Having called your attention to an obser
vance of the City Ordinances and the great
source of phyisical health and purity, 1 would
inform you that the weekly visits of ihe
Ward Committees will now commence and
continue until November, It will be owing
much to your patriotism nnd their fidelity,
under God’s olessing. if we continue to enjoy
that health, which may fairly be a subject of
gratitude and rejoicing to us all.
Very respectfully,
JOS. S. FAY,
may IG. Chairman Board of Health.
On Thursday last, says the Liv
erpool Albion, April 1, “xMr. Charles
W hitney, ol America, delivered
the first of a course of very interest
ing lectures‘On the Popular Orato
ry and Poetry of the New W r orld.’
Mr. Whitney’s lectures are not only
entertaining but instructive, and
graphically descriptive of men and
manner on the other side of the At
lantic.”
Deacon Pequirk, a staunch tem
perance man, accidentally swallow
ing a rousing t umbler of gin the oili

“Why I felt as if I was sitting: on

Turner’s Compound Fluid Extract of
CONYZA and STILLINGIA.
THIS Preparation is a highly Concentrated
Extract, containing all the Active Medicinal
Properties of the Conyza, (o-mmonly known
as Black Root,) and the Stillingia, or Queen’s
Delight.
These Plants have long since been used among
our Southern Negroes and in empyrical practice,
with the happiest results, in cases of Chronic
Rheumatism, Ulcers of long standing, and Sec
ondary Syphilis. It is much superior to any pre
parations of Sarsaparilla as an alterative, being
more active and prompt in its operation on the
svstem. These tacts have induced the subscri
bers to present to the attention of Physicians a
preparation prepared according to strict Chemi
cal and Partnaceutical science, devoid of all
the feculent and inert parts of the root, not doubt
ing that it will supercede the unscientific and
crude preparations hitherto used.
