The Watchful Sentinel — ln copying
a paragraph from the ConßtitotonalißT,
yesterday morning, relative to the reported
endorsement of Bullock’s administration by
Judge Garnett Andrews, our neighbor
across the street grows exceedingly face
tious over the fact that the Chronicle & Sen
tinel called attention to said report as early
as the 30th alt. It professes a fear that we
have been “ taking a Rip Van Winkle nap
recently,” and in our •'dreams had visions
only of the beautiful blondes In stockinet
dallying before the footlights,” because we
announced that we had not “been ad
vised that Judge Andrews has been
hobnobbing with the destructives In their
love feasts.” We scarcely know which
to admire most in our neighbor’s squib,
the delicate disguise of self-commenda
tion apparent or the sublimity of pre
sumption manifested that we should con
sider ourselves and the public advised of the
certainty ol‘ an event Chronicled before it was
at least nine days old, his vaunted watch
fulness and prophetic ken to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Os the blondes, if of them we have had
visions, we dream as with open eyes we see
a certain quantity of prints manufactured
—as something intended for illusion, and
only to be sold by the continued com
mendation of the peddler, who doubly sells
all who are beguiled by his oily gammon.
But the most refreshing picture drawn
by our friend is the role assumed of arro
gating an argus-eyed vigilauce of trans
piring events, nudging ns to awake, with
the somewhat paradoxical proclamation :
“ the world is moving around you still.”
Whoever heard of anything in motion
being still f We generally manage to
“ sleep with one eye.open,” however, and
with that eye, yesterday morning, beheld
in the columns of our cotemporary a pal
pable violation of the Injunction he ad
dressed so earnestly to us. “ Be just, neigh
bor, if you do dream.” It consisted of the
appropriation of at least two-thirds of the
body and the entire soul of our “firemen’s
prize” local, without acknowledging pa
ternity. Knights who are only clad in
vitreous armour, should be very careful
how they light.
Gibarpey’s Opera llovm.— Othello is
perhaps the most passionate of all the
plays of Shakspeare. In the title part an
notor of robust intensity lias a splendid
field for the exhibition of his peculiar pow
ers ; for while Othello is at times tender,
loving, indignant and at last mad with
jealousy, he does nothing by halves and is,
in every emotion, the most impetuous of
men. Though Mr. Warner still suffered
from hoarseness, and though his vivid in
tellect evidently wrestled with vocal de
rangement, the absolute grace of his atti
tudes ami gesticulation, the striking origi
nality of Jiis conceptions and the magnetic
charm of his elocution broke betimes
through all trammels and won the hearty
and fervid plaudits of l!ie very large and
appreciative audience.
Mr. Fannin’s lago was a sketch full of
power and subtlety. His cold blooded con
trast to Warner’s whirlwind of passion
was highly artistic, and a worthy compan
ion piece to the rival character of Othello.
We congratulate Mr. Fannin upon his
effort. It was indeed masterly.
Mr. Wood’s Cassia, though lacking per
haps some of the bluntness of the devoted
follower of OtheUo, was a clever perform
ance. There are few actors more conscien
tious than Mr. Wood, or more perfectly
au f.iit in all the details of his profession.
Mr. Parker was a good Brahantio , and
Sam Ryan made of Boderigo ail that was
possible to be made of it.
Miss Lillie Eldridge surpassed herself as
Desdemona. We think this the best part
she has yet enacted, and when It is rernein
hered how admirable she was as Ophelia
*nd Pnrthenia , we mean this to be the
highest praise.
Mrs. Eldridge as Smilia displayed her
usual correctness and spirit.
We accord much praise to Mr. Gardner,
the efficient stage manager, Tor the good
t n ste and elegant manner in which the dif
ferent dramas have been put upon the
stage. The meed of praise is likewise to
he given to the skill of Mr. Parker for the
rapidity and skill he has manifested in
origmatingjpad painting a number of new
scenes.
Horses and Mules.—- Persons in want of
rttock will find a very superior lot of well
tu'oke horses aud mules at the Grey Eagle
.Stables of Mr. John B. Pournelle, just ar
rived from the best markets of the West,
selected with the utmost care by the most
accomplished judges of horse-flesh. Ihese
animals are under the special charge of
Mr. Pournelle, whose well known reputa
tion as a dealer in whose judgment and
representations full confidence can be
placed, is at once ample guarantee ot the
quality of the stock and an assurance that
all sales will be made upon the square.—
This is an excellent opportunity lor plant
ers to secure the necessary mule power to
run their farms, at the fairest prices, and
indeed, for all who desire to purchase
horse-flesh sos either service or pleasure, or
both combined. .Go and examine them.
Don’t'Pay.— So exceedingly orderly, as
a general thing, (despite the efforts of some
white skins to the contrary) have the col
ored people of the city become, that one of
Bullock’s chosen magistrates, Mr. John
Reynolds, has so far lost his judicial
“ swag,” that he contemplates, we learn, at
an early day, to yield his commission, close
his judicial shop in this city, grace
fully retire to Atlanta, where he ca# he
nearer the throne of Radical grace. He Is
now disposing of his implements of trade,
low for cash.
Detention.— The passenger train on the
Georgia Railroad, due here at 3:45, p. m.,
yesterday, did not arrive until 7 o’clock.
The detention was caused by the breaking
of an axle of the engine tender. No dam
age resulted.
Runaway. —Yesterday afternoon, about
2 o’clock, a male attached to a cart, the
property of Mr. Pat. Primrose, while cart
ing a number of swine from the City
Pound, became frightened at the grunting
and squeallDg of his load, and made a suc
cessful effort to get rid of the rooters by
running away. Dashing up Telfair street,
the bqjidaged hogs were spilled upon the
pavement, the cart upset opposite the resi
dence of Judge Gibson, and the*negro
driver fell under it, sustaining severe in
juries on his head, face and back. He was
sent to the hospital for treatment.
Impecunious.— lt is said that the City
Council are to be petitioned, to-night, for
the grant of the privilege of the Bell
Tower, overlooking the lot from which the
balloon ascension Is to be made on Monday.
The Bigners of the petition are very desirous
of seeing the “ Hyperion ” navigate, but
really have not the stamps to meet the gate
tariff. Rent of attics, with windows well
located, has advanced fifty per cent, in that
section of the city, since the balloon pic
tures were posted, and all the sky-parlors
are taken.
Brought Out and Returned.—Yester
day afternoon, Martha Hewitt and Maria
Johnson alias Blunt, two colored women
committed to jail about two weeks ago,
charged with the larceny of S3OO from Mrs.
Mary Benjamin on the 12th of January,
were brought from jail before Justice Ells
for a hearing. They waived examination,
and, in default of bail, were recommitted
to jail. A small portion of, the stolen
money Jias been recovered.
Recorder’s Court. —A couple of our
leading business men were ai*raigned, -yes
terday morning, charged with infracting
the 18th commandment. The assailant
plead guilty, and was fined $lO and cost,
and the assaulted discharged.
■ Robert McWhorter, a heavy speaker, and
yet not of Bullock’s construction, was ar
raigned for violation of the 18th Section.
Plead guilty, and fined $5 and cost.
Military Mayor of Rome,— The Cou
rier says it is rumored that two or three
men have been appointed Military Mayor
of Rome, and that all have declined. A
very sensible course for theih to take, as the
position would inevitably entail odium
upon any man. We hope to hear nothing
more of this Military Mayoralty. '
Salk of Railroad Stocks.— ln Colum
bus, on Tuesday, 130 shares Mobile and
Girard Railroad stock, old issue, SIOO
shares, were sold at sl7 75 per share.
In Charleston,. 400 shares of Savannah
and Charleston Railroad stock changed
hands a few days ago at $25 per share, and
100 shares were sold at a trifle less than
that figure.

ing distinguished guests were registered at
the Planters’ Hotel, yesterday evening:
Gen. N. B. Forrest, of Memphis; Gen. R.
W. Carswell, of Louisville; Gens. M. C.

and a large delegation of Green Line ex
cursionists.
Death of a Well Known Georgian.—
The Montgomery Advertiser says: Mr. St.
Lanier, a gentleman weH known in the
South, died at his old home, the Exchange
Hotel, in this city, on yesterday. Mr.
Lanier was for many years a resident of
Macon, Georgia, and kept there the well
known “ Lanier House.”
River News.—Since last report, the
river has continued to fall, registering six
feet six inches at 3, p. m., yesterday, at the
city bridge. The weather was warm and
cloudy yesterday, indicating rain, and ere
many days the river will doubtless expe
rience another rise, although it is still in
fair boating order.
Bailed.—Wm. Bryant, committed last
Monday morning, in default of bail, on* the
charge of stabbing, not in his own defense,
a negro hoy named Godfrey Barr, furnished
the required bond before Justice Ells, yes
terday, and was released from custody.
Recovered. —The watch to which we
alluded yesterday morning, as haying been
disengaged from a gentleman’s pocket by
the taper fingers of a deceptive damsel, has
been recovered by Lieut King, of the police
force, and restored to its owner.
An Important An rival. — Black Wal
nut Candy, Marshmallow Drops, (Whit
man’s choice), Filberts, and a general as
sortment of other choice Confections just

that, he will have some of the finest meats
ever seen in this market on Saturday morn
ing and evening. All loveFS of choice cuts

Mil. Wabnpb’* Benefit. —We trust there
will be a full attendance this evening at the
Opera House. Mr. Neil Warner takes his
benefit in the character of Richelieu and de
serves to be greeted with liberal patronage.
Speaking of the prosperous condition of
Morgan county, Ala., the Huntsville Demo
crat says : “ Col. Giers is bringing into the
country quite a number of industrious Ger
mans, and a nucleus of a Swiss colony has
been formed at Valhermosa Springs hy
Messrs. Guol, Gaven and Egger, and their
families. Several delegations from Ohio
and Pennsylvania have visited Morgan
county with a view of making locations
f o r quite a number of Western New York
farmers, who expect to establish dairy and
stock farms.”
Girls are respectfully requested to go
West by a careful investigator, who gives
statistices to prove that in Ohio there are
40 600 more men than women ; in Michi
gan, 40,000; in California, 143,000, and in
other States similar proportions. On the
contrary, New England has an excess of
women. In Massachusetts there are 36,000
more women than men; in Rhode Island,
6,000, and in Connecticut, 7,800.
Death of Robert G. Scott.—We €am
from the Montgomery Advertiser of the
death of this gentleman, that occured at
his residence, in Monroe county, Alabama,
last week. Mr. Scott was a native of Vir
ginia, and represented the Richmond Dis
trict in Congress. He was a man of ability.
He has beep a citizen of Alabama for the
last fifteen years. Re was about seventy
years of age.
Another “ freight blockade” of Western
produce on its way to the South is report
ed. It is at Columbus, Ify., or Belmont,
opposite, where, on the 85th ult., 115 cars
of St. Louis freight were on the track, de
layed by the want of rolling stock to carry
it farther South.
A Horrible and Atrocious Murder—
A Mother Shot with her Baby at the
Breast. —By a gentleman from up the
Seaboard Koad we have just heard the de
tails of a most horrible crime committed
by some fiend incarnate in Mecklenburg
County, Va., near Gaston, N. C. on Tues
day night last.
It appears that a lady by the name of
Mrs. Rollins, who lives in that neighbor
hood, was sitting in her house with a baby
at her breast nursing, and two or three of
her small children playing round about her
in the room, when the murderer approached
the window axd discharged a double-bar
relled gun, loaded with buckshot and
several large sings, into her right side,
which passed through her body and came
out on her left side, near the region of her
heart, killing her instantly. The infant at
her breast was not hurt, nor were any of
the other children. There were no grown
persons in the room at the time.
Onr informant tells us that suspicion
rests on a negro man whose wife Mr. Rol
lins had discharged from service a day or
Jtwo before this horrible deed was perpe
trated, as he had been heard to make some
threats about having vengeance: It is be
lieved he went there with toe design oh
taking Mr. Rollins’ life, but, finding him
absent, the fiend murdered his wife in place
of him. Our informant could not recollect
the negro’s name, and was not informed
whether he had yet been arrested.

NERVOUS HEADACHE, LIVER COM
PLAINT, &c., &c.—The brain being the most
delicate and sensitive of all onr organs, is ne
cessarily more or less affected by all our bodily
ailments. A headache is often the first symp
tom of a serious disease. If the nervous sys
tem Is affected, there is always trouble at its
source in the pericranium. And it may be
here remarked that as the nervous fibre per
vades the entire frame, no part of the physical
structure cau be affected without the nerves
suffering sympathetically. Liver complaint of
every type affects the brain. Sometimes the
effect is stupor, confusion of ideas, hypochon
driasis; sometimes persistent or periodical
headache. In any ease, the best remedy that
can be taken is Plantation Bitters. In
headache proceeding from indigestion on bil
iousness, or both, the stomachic and anti-bil
ious properties of the preparation will .soon
relieve the torture, by removing its cause. If
the complaint is purely nervous-in other
words, U it has originated in the nervous sys
tem, and is not the result of sympathy, the
Bitters will be equally efficacious.
So light aud delicate are all the preparations
made from Sea Moss Famine that it is Inval
uable lor invalids and ail those requiring a
light and easily digested food.

B. A. FAHNESTOCK’S
vermifuge,
WHY Is it that so many children die under
the age of five years ? That a large proportion
of children die under that age has long been a
subject ot remark, and without a satisfactory
cause ascertained, It is certain.
Also, it is known that worms exist in the
human system from its earliest infancy ; there
fore parents, especially mothers, who are more
constantly with their children, cannot be too
observing of the first symptoms of worms ; for
so surely aathey exist, can they be
SAFELY AND CERTAINLY
removed from the most delicate infant, by the
timely nsej*^
B. A- Fahnestock’s Vermifuge.
It is perfectly harmless, qhnfaiqs no Mercury,
being a
P«*elyr Vegetable Composition,
And may be administered with the UTMOST
BAFETY TO CHILDREN OF ALL AGES.
Worm Confections, made more tor the pur
pose of pleasing the palate than of overcoming
the disease, have been manufactured all over
the country, but their short lease of life is
nearly exhausted, and B. A. FAHNEBTOCK’S
VERMIFUGE continues to grow in favor daily.
Caution.
Should occasion require you to purchase B.
A. FAHNEBTOCK’S VERMIFUGE, be careful
to see that the initials are B. A. This is the
article that has been so
FAVORABLY KNOWN SINCE 1829,
And purchasers must insist on having It, if they
do not wish to have an imitation forced npon
them.
