Aerial Flights.— Yesterday was the loveliest day of the season, the air was clear and balmy, and not a cloud to be seen in the azure vault above. No better day could be wished for by those who desired to ascend on high In the balloon. During the morning, one lady and several gentle men made the trip, all expressing them selves as having been greatly pleased. In the afternoon, about 4% o’clock, Prof. King made a successful and beautiful ascension from Broad street, fronting Lafayette Hall, the balloon going a little east of north, attaining, we judge, the height of about one mile. Its flight was watched by many of our citizens until lost to sight. McCulloch and Brignoli’s Opera.— Saturday and Monday, March 12th and 14th, 1870.

There is great excitement in San Fran cisco over the discovery of new rich gold fields about sixty miles from Santiago. The quartz exhibited is free from sulphates and other metals. People are leaving San tiago ancl Los Angelos in large numbers for the new mines. WIVES AND MOTHERS.—OnIy woman knows what women emtore; and if there be any means ot assuaging the distress of body aod mind which so many thousands experience, day after day and week after week, with a for titude which puts to shame the boastful courage of man, who will deny that bo great a blessing to the cex should be found in every house hold ? Millions of men have been benefited by its nse, but among the feeble and sickly of the opposite gender, who, perhaps, need it most, its virtues are not so widely known. This foremost remedy of the age—this specific for every species of debility, general or local, con stitutional or casual, is Plantation Bittbrs One right of woman, at least, will be conceded —the right to strengthening himself to sustain the ills of which the laws of natnre have made her the untoutunate heiress. The acknowledged healthfulness, unrivaled flavor delicacy, great convenience, aud extra ordinary cheapness of Ska Moss Fabinh, will always keep it in the foremost place among articles intended for a table-dessert. marfi-suwf&c ________ Koskoo.—This medicine is rapidly gaining the confidence of the people, nod the numer ous testimonials of its virtues, given by practi tioners of medicine, leave no doubt that it is a safe and reliably remedy for imparity of the blood, liver disease, Ac. The last Medical Journal contains an article from Prof. R. 8. Newton, M. 1)., President of the E. Medical College, city ol New York, that speaks in high terms of its curative prop erties, and gives a special recommendation of Koskoo to the practilioners of medicine. This is, we believe, the first instance where such medicines have been officially endorsed by the Faculty of any of the Medical Colleges, and reflects great credit upon the skill of Dr. Law rence, its compounder, and also puts “Kos koo ” in the van of all other medicines of the present day. —Norfolk Daily Journal, llfA. feb2B-6m A Card. Savannah, March 2,1870. At a regular meeting of the Metropolitan Fire Company, held this evening, the fol owlng resolutions were unanimously adonted : * * * * * * Resolved, 1 st. That the thanks of this company are eminently due and are hereby tendered to Vigilant Fire Company, No. 3, of Augusta, for the hearty welcome we re ceived at their hands ou the occasion of our recent visit to their city, for their kind and courteous treatment and generous enter tainment of the company while we remain ed in their midst, of which we cannot speak in too high praise; and generally for that constant manifestation of good will and fellow-feeling that continually reminded us that, although absent from home, we were still among friends. Resolved, 2d. That although we have re turned home with no new honors added to our record, it was only because the “ god speed” of the Vigilants could not give us the victory, nor their vigilance shield our engine from harm. Bat while this is the case, our kind hosts have not allowed us to return from their city empty-handed, for our hall is now adorned by silver plate that we will cherish more highly than any prize we might have won, for while the one would have been but the sign of triumph, the other brings the assurance of “brother ly love.” Resolved, 3 d. That the thanks of this com pany are also in a high degree due to those ladies who so kindly offered and allowed the use of their carriage horses to draw our engine while on parade, as well as to the two young ladies who sent flowers for its adornment. Such acts are pleasant to dwell upon, and this company will ever re gard themselves as debtors to those fair daughters of Augusta who so favored them upon this occasion. Resolved, 4th. That we will ever remem ber our visit to Augusta with grateful feelings, and will ever cherish its memories among the bright and cheering views of the past as an oases in the dreary life of the liremen, ever bringing with it pleasant thoughts to our minds, and it will only cease to b'c remembered when time shall be no more. Resolved, s (h. That a copy of these resolu tions be furnished to each of the ladies re ferred to above, to the Vigilant Fire Com pany, and to the two Augusta papers. * * * * A true extract from the Minutes. J. J. Abrams, Secretary. [From Ilall'a Journal of Health. Taking Cold. HOW TO DO IT—AND HOW IT MAY BE AVOIDED. Not by tiimblißg into the river and drag ging home wet as a drowned rat; not by being pitched into the mud, or spilled out into the snow in sleighing time ; not by walking for hours, over shoe-top in mud ; uot by soaklug in the rain without an umbrella ; not by scrubbing the floor until the unuameab'.e sticks to you like a wet rag ; not by hoeing potatoes uutil you are a lather of sweat; these are not the things which give people colds ; and yet they are all the time saying how they “ caught cold by exposure. The time for taking cold is after your exercise; the place is in you own house, or office or counting-house. It Is not the act of exercise winch gives the cold, but the getting cool too quick after exercising. For example, yon walk very fast to get to the railway station, or to the ferry, or to catch the omnibus, or to make time for an appoint ment; your mind being ahead of you, your body makes an extra effort to keep up with it, and when you get to the desired spot, you raise your hat and find yourself in a perspiration; you take a seat, feeling quite comfortable as to temperature; you begin to talk with a friend, or if a New Yorker, to read a newspaper, and liefore you are aware of it, you experience a sensation of chilliness, and the thing is done; you look around to see where the cold comes from, and flud an open window near, ora door, or that you have takeu a seat at the for ward part of the car,and it moving against the wiud, a strong draft is marie through the crevices. After all kind of exercise, do uot stand a moment at a street corner for any body or any thing ; nor at an open door or window. Whenever you have been exercising in any whatever, Winter or Summer, go home at once, or to some sheltered place, and, how ever warm the room may seem to be, do not at once pull off your hat and cloak, but wait awhile—some five minutes or more, and lay aside oue ’thing at a time ; thus acting, a cold is impossible. Notice a moment: when you return from a brisk walk and you enter a warm room, raise your hat and your forehead will be moist, let the hat remain for a few moments and feel the forehead again, and it will lie dry, showing that the room is actually cooler than your body, and that with out door clothing on yon have really cooled off full soon enough. Many of the severest colds I have ever known men to take were the result of sitting down to a warm meal in a cool room alter a long walk, or being en gaged in writing, have let the ffre go out., and their first, admonition of it was that creeping chillness which is the ordinary forerunner of a severe cold Persons have often lost their lives by writing or readihg in a room where there was no Are, although the weather outside was rather comforta ble. Sleeping in rooms long unused has -destroyed the life of many a yisitor and friend. Our splendid parlors and our nice “ spare rooms ” help to enrich many a doc tor. Tme Spring Trade—The Prospect.— Not since the Spring of 1860 have we had such dullness of trade as we have had siuce January of this year. It still continues. It is gratifying, however, to know that the darkest hour has been all but, if not abso lutely, reached. In the mercantile com munity generally doubt and fear begin to yield to hope aod confidence. The steady decline of gold has had a depressing and embarrassing effect on the trading com munity. In proportion as it is felt that bottom is about reached there is a growing feeling of security. The feeling which ex pressed itself so happily in the Government printing office at Washington on Saturday on the occasion of the visit of General Grant is widespread over the community. It is felt that in spite of the somewhat pro tracted dullness of trade the first year of Grant’s administration has really been prosperous. It is a triumph which has not been often experienced in the history qf any people to have in one year reduced the debt ninety-eight millions, and to have brought gold down from one hundred and forty-five almost to par. We are gratified to know that orders begin to come in from the West and South; and that really tfte prospect brightenfl. The nation at the present moment looks to Congress. We must have an end of all uncertainty. Merchants must know where and how they stand. If the funding bill Is not to be passed, then it ought to be rejected at once. One way or the other this cause of uncertainty ought to be' removed. We have the same to say of the bill which proposes to add fifty millions to the currency. There ought to be no delay; The bill should be passed at once or thrown out. If Congress will act wisely and with becoming promptitude we shall soon feel ourselves on solid ground, and merchants will take courage. Under the new condi tion of things and on a basis satisfactory and enduring we shall advance with firm step towards a prosperity which we have never hitherto experienced. The millions of gold now lying useless In the vaults of Europe wait but the opportunity to pour their favors upon us and to develop our im mense and boundless resources. With the bright sunshine and the refreshing showers and the blossoming flowers of Spring we shall expect to find ourselves In the midst of a state of things which, it not all we could wish, will be at least cheering and preg nant with promise.—W. T- Herald. An Opinion op “A. J.”— A Washington correspondent, who does not regard Andrew Johnson as an “ invariable success as President,” thinks he is amenable to the criticism of a Virginian, a little the worse for apple-jnice. whom he once met and con versed with on the subject. “ What do you think of Andy ?" says the correspondent to him. This was in '66 or ’67. “ Well,” said he, u he does the right(hic)est (hic)est thing in the wrong(hlc)est (hie) time of any d—d man I ever saw.” A Counterfeit Bishop at Rome.—A Roman correspondent writes: Some weeks since I sent au account of. the arrest of a false bishop, who was incar cerated at Fort St. Angelo for his unau thorized assumption of episcopal vestments in order to be present at the secret delib erations of the Council. His personality has been at last discov ered ; he was not, as at first supposed, a spy dispatched by Signor Visconti Venosta, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, but simply the correspondent of a French news paper, which has been for the past month very prolific in ecclesiastical indiscretion. How he procured his disguise is still a mystery, for the arrest of his tailor has turned out to be a myth ; but at the Case de Rome they say he bought the credentials from the confidential and Incorruptible secretary of an Oriental prelate, who was prevented by ill health from appearing at the evangelical rendezvous. At all events, while the police were investigating his case, the prisoner disappeared, and gossips assert the doors of his dungeon were open ed by one of the keys which were bequeath ed to Pius IX by St. Peter; in plain lan guage, the Pope sent him his passports and gave him an escort of gendarmes to the frontier. A Trusty Old Blade.—A Leavenworth (Kansas) corresponuent writes the follow ing romance in real life: “A day or two ago, was announced the marriage of an old man of eighty-three years to a woman nearly as old. They had met and loved when they were young, but both had become engaged to other parties before the meeting. Thev couldn’t honorably ‘back out’ of their existing en gagement, and so, vowing a love that should only end in death, they fulfilled their contracts by getting married. In time, death came and left him - widower and her a widow. Many years elapsed, and no scrap of intelligence did they re ceive of each other; but last Fall, while the old man was on his way East to eat Thanksgiving turkey with a daughter, he accidentally got on the track of his old flame, and possessed of an ample accumu lation of greenbacks, he followed her over most of the New England States, and then to Buffalo, New York, where he came lip with her. It didn’t take long to settle the preliminaries, and it was agreed that she should come to this city to, visit a son, while he went on to his Thanksgiving din ner, then to his home near La Crosse, Wis consin, from which place he has to come ou here and have the nuptial knot tied. The agreement was faithfully carried out, the venerably old couple, after many years ol' divergence, now being one.” Result of Refusing a Kiss, —The Cin cinnati Gaeette relates that a merchant of that city, who had been two weeke mar ried, had occasion to go to Bt. Louis on business. He informed his wife, who put up her mouth, and asked him to kiss her good-bye. As lie intended returning to the house before taking the cars, he playfully refused, saying that he had not time to wait. Unfortunately, he could noLgo home again, and left without bidding his wife good-bye. After an absence of two weeks he returned, and hastened to his domicil, expecting a hearty welcome from the part ner of his joys. But what was his amaze ment to flpd the house deserted, the furni ture sold, and his wife absent oil a visit to her relations. Aud what was his horror, soon after to learn that she had sued for a divorce. An interview followed, mutual explanations were made, and a reconcilia tion was effected, the sole cause of the yousg wife’s singular proceeding being jealousy, and the refusal of her husband to kiss her good bye. “ Look here, boy,” said a nervous old gentleman to an urchin who was munch ing sugar candy at a lecture, “ you are an noying me very much.” “ No, I ain’t,” re plied the urchin, “ I’m a-gnawing this sugar candy.” BY~TELEGR AJPH7 [Associated Frees Dispatches. WASHINGTON. Washington, March 10—Noon.—The Republican Senators caucusscd an hour over Georgia. Bingham’s amendment was the topic. No vote reached. The caucus seemed about equally divided, and unless farther action is had in the caucus, the bill as it came from the House, supported by Democratic Senators, will certainly pass. Morton, Drake, Thayr and Cameron spoke against; Trumbull, Edmunson, Ter ry and others, spoke in favor of Bingham’s amendment. In the House the Air Line Road bill was taken up. Swann yielded to Julian to introduce a bill which would open eight million acres, and against which, it was supposed, there would be po objection. It turned out to be a bill revoking all land grants to the New Orleans and Opelousas Railroad.— The proposition received a storm of ob jections. In the Senate Sumner objected to the present consideration of the amendment to the rules for the consideration of treaties acquiring territory in open session. In the Senate the citizens of Mississippi petition for the abolition of the franking privilege. » The ftmding bill was resumed. Official documents from General Rey nolds, announcing the adoption of the amendments by Texas, was laid before the ’ Senate. The Senate is in session to night on the funding bill. In the House the Air Line Road vyas post poned to Tuesday. The bill reducing army officers was re sumed, and, after various amendments, pass ed. It consists of fifteen sections. Washington, March 10— P. M.—The caucus is so equally divided that both par ties are afraid to call a vote ou Bingham’s amendment to the Georgia bill. A motion to adjourn to to-morrow was defeated, A motion to adjourn to this evening was de seated. A motion to adjourn sine die was carried. A close poll of the Senate shows ten ma jority for Bingham’s amendment, and un less another caucus is called the adoption of the bill as it came from the House is re garded certain. • The feeling in the caucus was quite bit ter, and should another caucus be called, it is likely that the friends of Bingham’s amendment would remain away. Revenue to-day, $355,000. No Southern nominations to-day. A negro delegation from Tennessee called on the President with a memorial for projection against outlaws. Six Con gressmen accompanied them. The London Times' money article sug gests an experiment, for a month, of five shillings for ten-word cables. VIRGINIA. Richmond, March 10..—The Legislature passed the homestead exemption bill, ex empting $2,000 in property from execution : also, a bill requiring office holders to take an oath to support the State and Federal Constitutions. The Virginia Historical Society was or ganized tp-day. This is the first meeting since Hugh Blair Grigsby was President and Thomas H. Wynne Secretary. FOREIGN. London, March 10.— The Conservative Banquet was largely attended by eminent men. Numbers of letters were read. The policy of the Government was condemned by all parties. Sir James Packingham, speaking for the army, said: “To discon nect the army and J reduce its force by 24,000, was injudicious economy. It was easier to dissolve than re-embody the army. Happily the country had another force, in destructible, armed with truth, namely, the Conservative party, who were entitled to defend long established institutions, not excepting the Irish Church. Havana, March 10.—A military court martial has popvicted and sentenced to death several parties now jn New York, implicated in the Villa Nueva theatre riot last year.'

Inveterate cases of Scrofulous die /T ow ease, where the system *“11 seemed saturated with c _jCb corruption, have been purified and cured by it. Scrofulous affections and disorders,which were og gravated by the scrofu lons contamination until they were painfully afflicting, have been radically cured in such great numbers in almost every sec tion of the country, that the public scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses, Scroftilous poison is ope of the most destructive enemies of our racp. Often, this unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution, and Invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tuber cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed in.the liver, or it snows Its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcer ations on some part of the body, Hence the occa sional use of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla is ad visable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following com plaints generally find immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the use of this SARSAPARIL LA: St. Anthony’s Fire, Moss or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Ryes, Bore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various ulcerous affections of the muscu< lax and nervous systems. Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by it, though a long time is required for Butlong s continued use 6 ofVhis the complaint. Leucorrhaa or Whites, Uterine •Ulcerations, and Female Diseases, are com monly soon relieved and ultimately cured by its purifying and invigorating effect, Minute Direc tions for each case are fbund in our Almanac, sup plied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous matters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also XAver Complaints, Torpidity, Congeetion or Xnjfom mation of the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising, as they often dp, from the rankling poisons in the blood. This SARSAPARILLA is a great re storer for the strength and vigor of the system. Those who are languid and listless, Despon dent, Sleepless, and troubled with Nervous A pprehensions or Fears, or any o f. the affections symptomatic of Weakness, will find immediate relief and convincing evidence of He restorative power upon trial, PREPARED B T Hr. jr.
