is imr-
comm'tnat tropic country,
the the blue Caribbean sea,
aere the rarest flowers and shells are brought
By the wind and ocean free—
The sea-spray rolling far inland
Oft bringeth, proud and brave,
The painted treasures of the deep
To one lone Hondurean grave.
In that bright tropic region.
Where birds of wondrous dyes,
Like rainbow’d dreams of beauty,
Go wandering through the skies —
From their grottos oft retreating,
By the blue Caribbean wave,
They shed their plumes’ swift music
O’er that lone Hondurean grave !
Down in that tropic country,
On the silent leaves afar,
The floating Caryh singeth oft
To the listening evening star —
Os the dead white chief lie singctli
To the blue Caribbean wave,
The warrior-chief who slumbers
In that lone Hondurean grave.
Then to his Caryb maidens
Doth the pitying Indian tell
How that white chief loved the beauty
Os their painted regions well!
How he fought and fell for freedom
By the blue Caribbean wave,
Till he gained liis tropic Eden
In that lone Hondurean grave !
New Orleans, Oct. 1860.
European Correspondence.
Geneva, Nov. 20, 1860.
Francis 2nd (Bomba the Little), is, speak
ing after the manner of Carlyle, “nihil non ex
tant.” lie is Lis ex-Majesty for everybody
but tbe Almanach de Gotha and three am
bassadors plenipotentiary who, by command
superior represent their respective courts on
three respective vessels in Gaeta Bay.
The strong Fate
Which tumbles mightiest monarchs,
Hath tumbled thee, Bombina !
King Galantuomo sits on the throne of
Naples. The “brigand” is at least success
ful ; he has a key, it seems, which unlocks
kingdoms. History must enrol a man among
its worthies who robs so grandly. -Here is
one who puts a dynasty, as it were, out at
the back door, and then cooly turns to take
an inventory of its possessions. This am
phitheatrical city anil its girdle of orange
crowned hills is his; these frowning forts
atul yon,classic isles arc liis : museums filled
with the spoils of time, palaces perched in
every exquisite nook—all are his, the shouts
of the people without tell him so. Even Ve
suvius is his, and that fair Bay—but 1 for
get ; its undimmed beauty is no one’s ina
lienable right. Dynasties may chase one an
other and the earth be marked with ruin,
but “Time writes no wrinkle on its azure
brow !” So ripples on and shimmers under
the moonlight alike, whether Homan, Goth
or Bourbon tread its shores. King Victor is
on the Bournon throne, ami the people come
with their garlands to ratify his right. They
may call him the cuckoo-king who oust his
fellow from his nest to take his place, but lie
is there. lie has tried the Bourbon chair at
the cathedral, and the Tc IJeum is echoed
along the arches as exultiugly as during the
halcyon days of good King Ferdinand—the
facile princeps of Bourbons. lie has proved
the Bourbon box at the San Carlo. And,
last of all, he has entered the Bourbon palace
—and with no “compunctious visitings,’’ as it
would seem—to proclaim even there the sov
ereignty of the Savoy cross over the Bourbon
lily. As he passed under those prancing
bronze horses at the portal—the gift of a
Czar—and looked up at the immense rambling
edifice so far superior to his own sombre res
idence at Turin, was if wonderful that he
should give,vent to a smile of exulation, and
to a slight chuckle of malice—that he should
thank his dear friends, the. Austrians, for
putting into his hands so goodly a heritage ?
V o think, as he surveyed the glimmering bay
X.'iir “,!Tf rfiol hack-ground of the ’Sorrento
hills, he must have said with good King
Duncan :
This palace hath a.piei -.uil -eat; the air
Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself
Unto our gentle sens’ ■
Ami the people who crov. 1 at his heels, read
ing liis thought in his eye, shout, “Go in ami
take possession, King Galantuomo !” lie does
go in, for it is policy to de-Bourbonize all
these royal places, and were Ahithophel's
counsel necessary to ensure complete poses
sion Victor Immanuel is t.ot the i .in to brink
prom following it.
In just two months to a day niter Ca baidi
appeared at the gates of Naples V. 1 makes
his entry to receive the homage o iis new
subjects. He sits down on a vacant throne
so take the broad lands which a hero of the
people generously bestowed upon him. Ts
not this having “greatness thrust upon one?”
And is it not a fair thing"to have a kingdom
tossed down at one’s feet—as ’twere some rich
benefactor who tosses you his note at three
days’ sight ? And even while our lucky king
sits there, lo 1 Umbria and the Marshes are
knocking at the door for admittance to pre
sent their vote. And Sicily is pleading for
the sight of the new sovereign ; and deputa
tions are daily arriving from the distant
South. No doubt V. 1. thinks back on the
field of Novara where the interests of Italy
were put into his hands by his discouraged
father; and of that retributive justice—that
“Great Nemesis”
If ho never yet of human wrong
Left the scale unbalanced.' -
But we are lingering. This sitting is tedi
ous to our over-restless royal beneficiary. It
must be said, 1 fear, that Victor Immanuel
sits firmer and more gracefully in the saddle
than on a throne. He is an off-hand mon
arch, a bivouac king, and no attitudinize! - .
He has the rough address of a soldier and af
fects little else. He is at home u Califotirehonse
and never so kingly as when at the head of
his squadrons. But he has no weakness for
the trappings of royally; they lend him but
little grace and he can’t make them imposing,
romp belittles him ; he shows a vkardly in a
pageant. Like Harry of Engl- ud, he could
win a lady sooner “by leap-frog than by
dancing;” he could easier leap into his sad
ele with his armor on liis back than step to
measure; he could buffet for his love or
bound his horse for her favors, but he eanuot
“look greenly,” nor “has he any cunning in
_ protestations.” Ilis animal impulses bear
him on and make all that would thwart them
drudgery. Memoranda fret him; reports
bore him. All documents are musty and in
supportable. The very sight of Count fav
our's spectacles will set him to yawning, and
all the Cabinet consultations were not worth
one howl of his hounds; lie attends them as
in duty bound, and like. Hotspur, says,
“humph,” “well” and “go to,” but “marks
them not a word!” Hence when the king
took his seat in the splendid throne-room and
Signor Conforti came to present him with
nine million new - subjects, it became the min
ister to be decorously short, and His Majesty’s
acceptance was characteristically off-hand.—
If I mistake not, when the ceremony was
over, he and Garibaldi adjourned to smoke a
cigar together, l'or “nice customs,” we well
know, “courtesy to great kings.”
as follows, and you shall confess him oft'-hand
He has been slowly making his
ward for a month or more back, by the high
way of the Abruzzi. Arrived near Capua, as
lie lo\ es the smell of powder, and knew his
friend Garibaldi was not getting on very fast,
for want ot material, he turned aside with a
cannon oi two of dangerous calibre and awk
ward range. Capua asked for the pleasure of
capitulating after a few hours of bombarding:
granted-and then V- I. signifies his readi
ness to enter Naples. You might think that
he came in on richly-caparisoned steed, with
a brilliant staff. Not at all. He slipped
quietly in by railroad, as Garibaldi had done
before him, rather early in the morning of
‘he given day and even then a half-hour be
Naples. The Confute,,, with an artistic
eye to Pageantry, begged to have tu o entre
put off; the King would not consent. With
-JLictatdr Garibaldi and pro-Dictator Pallia, i
jhe entered a carriage and drove through
’ Toledo street to the cathedral as
thence to the palace.
The rain had arrested preparations half
way. ‘The laurels hung weeping—arches of
triumph were dripping—bouquets were flung
soaking. The pedestals for temporary stat
ues were but so many bare poles, for the pa
per which made them all granite was soaked
off, and the provisional plaster Yenuses and
Nymphs, and Fawns, with abraded noses,
looked like things of beauty ‘half made up,’
and their fair faces ‘with tears were foully
blubbered.’ Yet, the people were in a deliri
um of delight, and door and balcony were
choked with'heads —likewise dripping. V I.
might just as well have approached Naples in
a bath-tub drawn with porpoises. Had lie
been a Triton, the citizens could not have
gotten up a more aqueous reception—the
very Te Dmtm was wet, and the huzzas fell
on his ear through the watery medium as
with a dampened detonation. The Sardinian
King received his new provinces just as Na
poleon Ist did his Austrian Arch-Duchess,
viz : wet, booted and spurred.
But what of the prime figure in this moving
drama—of him who dealt the first blow at
the rotten Bourbon edifice, and toppled it to
the ground ? lie is gone to his island home.
Everything about Garibaldi is characteristic.
So was his meeung with his King. As the
latter drew near Capua, the hero went for
ward to meet him, and in that red shirt, too,
now made famous. What was costume, tin
sel, goUl-lace and shining buttons to him who
came to give his Sovereign a Kingdom ?
Fanti, the military Normalist, so to speak—
the tactician who believes in buttons —Farini
and others, now riding in the staff of the
enemies—shall see*V. I.
honor the red shirt which they affect to des
pise. Both King and King-Maker spurred
their horses as soon as they saw each other.
“Hail King of Italy!” said Garibaldi, in that
deep rich voice which thrills every hearer.
“Merci!” said V. I. Could anything
more off-hand than that ? Both were deeply
moved, however, and the King, to show his
Visitor his military regard for him, made his
division defile before him.
Garibaldi has done his work, and he re
cedes. ‘ Ilis place is the field. Men have
now come to supercede him, with whom he
has no sympathy. V. I. has pressed him to
remain—has offered him dignities, money ;
tire hero refuses all. He prefers his inde
pendence—prefers to leave himself untram
melled for any future emergency. He pub
lishes a spirited address to the army, bidding
them be ready for March, 1861 ; and sails in
the “Washington” (note that) for his island
Caprerq. Like Aristides, who had charge of
the public revenue at Athens, Garibaldi, who
has had tne control of millions, quits the
service of his country—poor. He left Naples
with 1,500 francs and a bag of beans! He
will go home and farm it until called for.
All Europe, of course, has said—a Cinein
natus! Garibaldi at Caprera will be a power.
I hope his home will not prove a centre of
opposition to the Government. Os this, more
in another letter, perhaps.
Let us turn a.moment to Gaeta and to the
ex-King, and to those three Abdiels of Am
bassadors
Among the I'aithh:.-faithful only’ they !
In police Latin, Francis 2d is yet non come
atibue; and therefore his Government is ‘regu
lar’ and is ‘recognized,’ and will be as long
as a table is left for his prime minister to
write a dispatch upon. Does not this remind
one of Dean Swift preaching to his sexton,
because divine otlices were established, and
must, perforce, go on V “Dearly beloved
John ! the Scripture nioveth you and me in
sundry places, e.” F- r that, matter, Fran
cis’ Government would be just as ‘regular,’ it’
he were in Spain, by the reasoning which
sustains him in Gaeta. 7 He lias determined
to defend himself to the last. That last
would have long since been over, if the
French fleet had not prevented the Sardinians
from bombarding the fort from tlie sea-side,
“bv tt’e French fleet i. thus avting, is known
only to the inscrutable designs of the Empe
ror, though it is, perhaps, not so difficult to
conjecture. In the meantime, the army that
de; i; the outer lines is fast melting away.
A goodly share escaped tlie other day across
the papal frontier. There is a disagreement
also between the officers and King. The
former sees no use in continuing the defence.
At best, the siege of G. offers no obstacle to
the march of events.
England Ims suppressed her embassy at
Naples and appointed a full minister at Turin
I'nr a!: Italy. .Site, therefore, is the first great
! oner to acknowledge officially the Kingdom
n! United Italy,
The contest between the IV j e and the Em
peror grows hotter in France. There are
four bishopries now vacant in France, and
yet the Pope refuses to give sanction to the
Emperor’s nominees. The Minister of the
Interior has not only forbidden organization
for tiie collection of Peter’s pence, but has
issued an order subjecting the pastoral let
ters of the bishops, which had become mere
political harrangues, to the laws of fine and
censure which control the press. Liberal
France applauds. Many have already whis
pered in mysterious fashion a desuvpption of
all ecclesiastical ties as imminent. It is an
idea whimi is gaining ground. Verily the
Emperor is proving the mightiest Protestant
of them all. Georgian.

EVENING SESSION.
Saturday, Dec. Silt, 1860.
HOUSE.
The Committee to whom the special mes
sage of his Excellency, the Governor, in rela
tion to the establishment of a weekly line of
Ocean Steamers from the port of Savannah to
some important Commercial port iu Europe,
has been referred, are profoundly impressed
with the importance of the measure suggested
by him. Commercial independance is politi
cal freedom. The policy indicated in the
message of his Excellency is, in the judge
ment of your Committee, eminently wise and
Statesman-like. Upon it, must depend the fu
ture relation of the State of Georgia and of
the South, whether the Union continues or
ends, to the nations of the earth.
It is indeed time.,that a people who inhabit
a land, abounding in great productions that
form the basis of the commerce of the world,
should be aroused to their dependent condi
tion upon the cities of the North. And when
thus aroused, to employ all the great ele
ments of wealth and strength, with which
God has blessed them, to burst the bands of
their commercial servitude, and blot out the
record of shame.
We, your Committee, therefore present the
following resolutions, and earnestly recom
mend their adoption.
J. L. HARRIS. Chm'n.
I. S. FANNIN,
S. J. SMITH.
The resolutions referred to in the foregoing
report which'are as follows, were read and

gia, that his Excellency the Governor be, and

sponsible parties for the establishment of a
weekly line of ocean steamers between the
port of Savannah and some European ports :
that for this purpose he may enter into a
guaranty on the part of this State for a speci
fied profit on the amount of capital invested,
provided the same shall not bind the State
for a sum exceeding the sum of $100,090 per
annuni.
Resolved, further, that to carry out the
above resolution the Governor may appoint a
commissioner to visit Europe for the purpose
of entering upon such negotiations.

Tiie message’ of Gov. Brown, vetoing the
bill for the pardon of W. A. Choice, was re
ceived and read. (This is the fourth veto
sent, in to the House to-day.) The Governor,
says the Supreme Court, has failed to sustain
the points made before it as the insanity of
Choice, and that the additional evidence does
not sustain the ease. He says, there is a form
laid down by which- insane persons may be
committed to the Lunatic Asylum, and while
he does not say so in so many words, as clear
ly intimates, that it is no part of the Legisla
ture to sit as a Court of Enquiry upon the_j
sanity or insanity of an individual. (It will
doubtless be recollected by your readers, that
one clause of this pardon bill commits the
unfortunate individual to the Lunatic Asy
tum.)

This bill was introduced by Mr. Anderson,
to extend the aid of the State, by endorse
ment of 20 years bonds, to the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad Company, on
conditions.
Mr. Andrews opposed the bill, and briefly
gave:liis reasons, among which was the con
dition of the State Treasury after granting a
large military fund. Fresh liabilities would
reduce the bonds of the State to fifty cents on
the dollar.
Mr. Tatum advocated the bill, and referred
to the direct trade about to be established
■between the Southern States and continental
Europe ns calling for additional railroad
Communications to answer the commerce of
the State.
The bill was then put on its passage and
Iff si—yea: 58, nays 72. When liis name was
rat ed, Mr. Anderson asked to be excused
Dom voting, as he was a stockholder in the
company for $250 00, which indeed was a
>i .ail sum, yet lie was unwilling to vote on
j hi- own interest. He gave notice that he
would move to reconsider the bill.
The House took up on its passage, the hill

of bonds at the rate of $7,000 per mile, to the
EUijay Railroad company.
The bill was put on its passage and lost—

For Preventing Baldness, and curing it, when
there is the least particle of vitality, or re

For Removing Scurf and Dandruff, and allcutane

For Beautifying the Hair, imparting to it an un

soft and silky in its texture and caus
ing it to curl readily.
The great celebrity and tlic increasing demand
for /Lis unequalled preparation, convince the pro
prictor that one trial is only necessary to satisfy
a discerning public of its superior qualities over
any other preparation at present in use. It cleans
es the head and scalp from dandruff and other cu
taneous diseases ; causes the hair to grow luxuri
antly, and gives it a rich, soft, glossy and flexible
appearance, and also where the hair is loosening
and thinning, it will give strength and vigor to
the roots and restore the growth to those parts
which -have become bald, causing it to yield a
re'Si covering of hair.
There are hundreds of ladies: and gentlemen in

I use of this Invigorator, when all other prepara
had failed. L. M. has in his possession let
's. •.< innumerable testifying to the above facts,

t M utually prevent the hair from turning gray un

Invigorator will, with certainty, restore it to its
original hue, giving it a dark glossy appearance.
Asa perfume for the toilet and a Hair Restorative
it is particularly recommended, having an agree
able ffagrance; and the great facilities it affords
in dressing the hair, which, when moist wtith the
nvigorator can be dressed in any required form
o as to preserve its place, whether plain or in curls
—hence the great demand for it by the ladies as

all, being

mistaken economy to invest anything in a worthless or unreliable article, and those who will do so
must abide the consequences.

The Amalgamation of Languages.—Thereis .
a growing tendency in this age to appropriate the
most expressive words of other languages, and
after a while to incorporate them into our own ;
thus the word Cephalic, which is from the Greek,
signifying “for the head,” is now becoming popu
larized in connection with Mr. Spalding’s great
Headache remedy, but it will soon be used in a
more general way, and the word Cephalic will be
come as common as Electrotype and many others
whose distinct ion }lB f ore jg n words has been worn
away by common usage until they seem “native
and to the manor horn.”
’ardly Realized.
lli ad ’n ’orrible ’eadache this hafternoon, hand
I stepped into the hapothccarios. hand says hi to
tho man, “Can you hea.se me of an ’eadache ?”
“Does it hache ’ard,” says ’e. “Ilexceedingly,”
says hi, hand upon that ’e gave me a Cophalic
Pill, hand , pon me ’onor it cured me so quick
that I ’ardly realized I ’ad ’ad au ’eadache.
Headache the favorite sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever from
the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this
light it may be looked on as a safeguard intended
to give notice of disease which might otherwise
escape attention, till too lute to be remedied; and
its indications should never be neglected. Head
aches may be classified uuder two numes, viz :
Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic
Headache is exceedingly common and is the pre
cursor of a great variety of diseases, among which
are Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all
febrile diseases. In its nervous form it is sympa
thetic of the stomach constituting sick
headache, of hepatic disease constituting bilious
headache , oT worms, constipation and other dis
orders of the bowels, as well as renal and uterine
affections. Diseases of tbe heart are very fre
quently attended with Headaches; Ainemia and
piethora .‘ire also affections which frequently oc
casion headache. Idiopathic Headache is also
very common, being usually distinguished by tho
name of nervous headache, sometimes coming on
suddenly in a state of apparently sound health
and prostrating at once the mental and physical
energies, and iu other instances it comes on slow
ly', heralded by’ depression of spirits or u(* rbity of
temper. In most instances the pain is in tho
front of tho head, over one or both eyes, and
sometimes provoking vomiting; under this class
may also be named Neuralgia,
Bridget. —Misses wants you to send her a box
of ‘ ephalic Glue, no, a bottle of Prepared Pills, —
but I'm thinking that’s not just it naither; but
perhaps ye’ll be after knowing what it is. Ye see
she’s nigh deadend gone with the Sick Headache,
and wants some more of that same as relaived her
before.
Druggist. —You must mean Spalding’s Cephalie
Pills.
Bridget, —Oeh! sure now and you’ve sed it,
here’s the quarther and give me the Pills and
don’t be all day about it aithcr.
Constipation or Costiveness.
No one of the “many ills flesh is heir to” is so
prevalent, so little understood, and so much ne
glected as Costiveness. Often originating in care
lesncss, or sedentary habits; it is regarded as a
slight disorder of too little consequence to excite
anxiety, while in reality it is tho precursor and
companion of many of tho most fatal and danger
ous diseases, and unless early eradicated it wid
bring the sufferer t> an untimely grave. Among
tho lighter evils of which costiveness is the usual
attendant are Headache, Cholic, Rheumatism,
Foul Breath, Piles and others of like nature,
while a long train of frightful diseases such ns
Malignant Fevers. Ah esses. Dysintery, Diarhun,
Dyspepsia, Apoplexy. Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hys
teria. Hypochondriasis. Melancholy and Insanity,
first indicate their presence in the system by this
alarming syinpti m Not unfrequently the dis
eases named originate in Constipation, but trike
on an independent existence unless the cause is
eradicated in an early stage. From these
considerations it follows that the disordCT should
receive immediate attention whenever it occurs,
and no person should neglect to get a box of
Cephalic Pills on the first appearance of the com
plaint, as their timely use will expel the insidious
approaches of disease and destroy this dangerous
foe to human life.
A Real Illessing.
Physician —Well. Mrs. Jones, how is that
headache?
Mrs. Jones. —Gone! Doctor, all gone! tho pill
you sent cured mo in just twenty minutes, and I
wish you would send more so that I can have
them handy.
Physician. —You can get them at any Drug
gists. Call lbr Cephalic Pills, I find they never
fail, and I recommend them in all cases of Head
ache.
Mrs. Jones. —l shall send for a box directly,
and shall toll all my suffering friends, for they are
a real blessing.
Nervous Headache
VI Ai CURE rti
idru\s °
Headache.
By the use of tbeso Pills the periodic attacks of
Nervous or Sick Headache may be prevented; and
if taken at the commencement of an attack imme
diate relief from pain and sickness will be ob
tained. *
They seldom fail in removing the Nausea and
Headache to which females are subject.
They act gently upon the bowels, —removing
Costiveness.
For Literary Men, Students , Delicate Females,
and all persons of sedentary habits, they arc val
uable as a Laxative, improving the appetite ,
giving tone and viyor to the digestive organs, and
restoring the natural elasticity and strength of the
whole system.
The CEPHALIC PILLS arc the result of long
investigation and carefully conducted experi
ments, having been in use many years, during
which time they have prevented and relieved a
vast amount of pain and suffering from Head
ache, whether originating in the nervous system
or from a deranged state of the stomach.
They are entirely vegetable in tbeir composi
tion, and may he taken at all times with perfect
safety, without making any change of diet, and
the absence of any disagreeable taste renders it
easy to administer them to children.
