Pickwick in CongTesa. Daring the debate on the Colt question, charges of bribery were insinuated against members, as well as the important question whether Colt was drunk or s.'ber when he appeared before the Committee on Patents. The fol lowing is the telegraphic account of the speech of Gen. Pratt, of Connecticut. It is richly Pickwickian : ‘•Mr. Pra'.t, of Connecticut, by unanimous consent, marie an explanation, and said this matter had been mag nified into such importance as to call fora Select Commit tee, which is now’acting. It was one in w hich he had a personal interest. [Laughter] By th s he meant that the reputation of an intimate personal acquaintance is in volved. [Renewed Laughter,] Col. Colt had a right, as an American, to apply to Congress for what he believes to be just. lie has been charged indirectly, if not direct ly, with doing what is unbecoming an honorable man— such as using improper means and outside influence, and attempting'to bribe members of this House. Col. Colt is as honorable a man as any on this fltwr—and there is not the slightest particle of truth in the charge.* If any gen tleman had been bribed, let him rise iu his place, [laugh ter,] either in the way of pistils, money, or anything else. He (Pratt) would say, with ail respect for the Select Com mittee, that he looked on this movement as a reflection on the character of the House. He did not know a gentle man here who could thus be bribed.” A Voice -“If so, lethirn show himself.” Nobody “showed himself” —ergo, nobody was bribed Georgia Railroad. —The Athens Branch of the Geor gia Railroad is kept by the Directors, probably as a me mento of compliment to the “gud o!de time” when things jogged along slowly. We heard of a gentleman, who, having a plenty of leisure time, went on it the other ! day. The conductor wasdoz'ng, little dreaming that the engine, then on a down grade, was going ahead so rapid - j ly by its accumulating momentum ; when suddenly start- j ing up, he involuntarily exclaimed to the engineer, “ Hold ] on, you are running out of all schedule time.” At the j next up grade, they brought up on tne good o'd pace of j 2-40— to a quarter of a mile.—Athens Banner. \ All in a Row I There were nine cotton wagons, all | in a row , driven up Commerce street, so the square, this morning—from the counties of Talladega and Benton ! This cotton came over the plank road, and is probably j the first that has reached this market, fur many years, | from thosa counties. — Mont. Mail , B th. A City Father Sent to the Penitentiary as a Fa* grant. — William W. Fream, once a man of some con siderable property, and about six veers ago Assistant Al- I derman of the Thirteenth ward, yesterday afternoon np- ! peareii before Justice Conn*i!y at the Toombs, confessed ‘ himself to be a vagrant, and requested that he might be I sent to the Penitentiary as such. The magistrate compli- ‘ ed with his request, and sent him to that institution for three mouths. A long course of imprudence has brought Mr. Fream to his present unfortunate situation. - iVa tional ( N . Y.) Democrat, COMMERCIAL.

LIVER DlSEASE.—Carter’s Spanish Mixture, ns a rem- j edy for Liver Disease, and the number of formidable evils con- ! nected with a disorc.mized state of that organ, is unrivalled. j Hundreds of certificates from the highest sources of persons, j living in the city of Richmond Va., might he given ot cures es- i fected by Carter’s Spanish Mixture. \W have only room to re fer to the extraordinary cure of Samuel M.

Esq., ot the ! firm of Drinker & Morris, Booksellers,Richmond, Va., who was ‘ cured by two bottles of Career’s Spanish Mixture, after three 1 years suffering from diseased liver, lie says its action on the I blood is wonderful, better than all the medicine he bad evea j taken, and cheer lully recommends it to ail, See advertisement. We have frequently heard the celebrated German Bitters sold by Dr. C. M. Jackson, 120 Arch street Philadelphia, spoken of in terms of the highest commendation, and we honestly believe that it is one of the best medicines stiver- | used for the complaints for which it is recommended j They are pleasant to the taste, and can be taken under any j circumstances by the most delicate stomach. The press I tar ; nd wide, have united in commending thi3 invaluable | remedy for dyspepsia, debility, &c.; and such are the j healing effects ot this panacea, that we hope that it may be I introduced to every family where dyspepsia has, or is like- j ly to have a victim. feb9 M’Lane’s Worm Specieic —The following from a cus- ; tomer, shows the demand which this great medicine has ! created wherever it has been introduced: •Blossbubg, Tioga Cos. Pa, March 30, 1850. Gentlemen —lu consequence of the great consumption ! of your “Worm Specific” in this place and vicinity, we 1 have entirely exhausted our stock. We should feel oblig- : ed, by your forwarding, via Corning, N. Y. 20 dozen, with ! your bill, on the reception of which we will remit you the j money. From the wonderful effects of said “Specific,” in this ■ neighborhood, there could be sold annually a large quanti ty, if to be had (wholesale and retail) from some local agent. If you would compensate a person for trouble and expense of vending,’ I think I could make it to your ad vantage to do so. Yours, respectfully, WM. M. MALLORY, Messrs. J. Kidd & Cos. Per W. E.
