U j other kindred measure, ire ahall be si
lent for the present.
On the 22d inet. the grand palaver of the
prohibitionfats comes off in this city, and we
■hall be lookers on. We shall be deeply inter
ested in many regards while we are taking our
obaerationa. Interested as we avow our
selves in the sobriety and morals of our
people, we are yet not unmindful of the fact
that doubtful reforms and problematical
moral experiments may be sometimes very
costly. And in the political view of the
matter we arc intensely concerned to cee
how well the proposed plan will succeed of
secularising the moral agencies upon which
the good and patriotic have, in times past,
relied with such confidence.
We think that many of the new notions
that arc now so extensively obtaining in ref
erence to temperance and other moral re
forms were not cast for this latitude—if, in
deed, they were ever adapted to any other
state of things than a pure theocracy or a
millennial perfectibility. We fear that the
school from which we are borrowing so
many of our political and moral ideas, will
not be long in teaching that all sorts of or
thodoxy depends pretty much upon the fact
of your beingj or not being able to do what
you fancy—and according to Bishop War-
burton’s definition that “ orthodoxy is our
doxy, and hertorodoxy is another man’s
doxv. But we defer, as we said, all contro
versy upon these points for the present, and
would enquire of those of our friends who
are able to speak “by the card,” if the par
ty seriously intend running a candidate for
Governor? We hear that there is much
contrariety of opinion among temperance
men in this quarter as to the policy of this
step. To the temperance neophyte, who has
taken along and mixed up with thiB benig
nant new love the old leaven of former po
litical prejudices, it is very natural to find
opposition to any plan of the coming cam
paign that exposes the ambition or projects
of old political allies to miscarriage. But
it does seem to us, if there is not much
“ sound and fury signifying nothing ” in
the professions and protestations of the
temperance party in Georgia, that they are
too fully committed to an uncompromising
warfare on the liquor traffic in the State to
stop short of a separation from all parties
that do not, with them, take the open field
for prohibition. Whatever we might other
wise object to in this course, it would be un
questionably consistent. But we hear it
whispered about that Senator Dawson, with
strong Know-Nothing proclivities, (not to
call them Know-Nothing ties,) will lie fully
enough of a temperance man, when the time
comes, to satisfy the most exacting reformer,
and the world knows that if he is not note
a Whig, he bos been enough so in days past
to do for all time to come. So it is thought
that here a man may be found uniting so
many desirable antecedents and present
availabilities as to be altogether irresistible.
The question most important of all others,
then, that may be propounded in the con
vention next week will be—shall the tem
perance men in Georgia, at the next elec
tion, drop all distinctive issues and run
Senator Dawson for Governor?
We warn now in advance those ardentdem-
ocrats who may he acting with the party,
that in committing through a disinterested
seal for temperance reform, the defence and
conservation of all their old political prin
ciples to the hands of those men that have
ever been opposed to those principles,
they are bringing into jeopardy much that
is certainly good as well as dear to them,
for a most uncertain prospective advantage.
Temperance is a good thing by itself, but

wtgTtStW BMaulfaldi Flt*l In
By the arrival this morning of the schoon
er Abbott Devereux, Capt. Akhorn, from
Havana we have advices from that port up
to Sunday last, February 4th.
We learn that the time of the sailing of
the schooner, and for several days previous
ly, great excitement existed in Cnba in an
ticipation of the landing of General Quit-
man, who was reported and believed to be
off the Island, with a force of twenty thous
and men. The Creoles were highly elated,
but it was not supposed that they could
render much assistance to their deliverers.
Indeed Capt. Alchorn thinks the present
Captain General, Concha, has made himself
ana administration popular with &H classes,
so that it may be presumed that the discon
tent on the Island is not so wide spread now
as formerly.
The Spanish fleet consisting of two war
steamers and three sailing vessels—a frig-
gate ; sloop of war, and brig, left the port
of Havana last Saturday on a cruise in
search of the filibusters. Two British ships
of the line entered the harbor Sunday
morning, and several others were hourly ex
pected for the defence of the Island.
We have no means of knowing upon what
grounds the fears of the Spanish officials
were based. But of oue thing we are cer
tain, if Quitman gets a foothold on the Is
land with twenty thousand men, the days
of her Catholic Majesty’s reign there are
ended.
Removal of Col. . Bwtler.
The Boston Atlas has the following in re
lation to the late arbitrary removal of Col.
Butler from the service, because be refused
to disband his company according to the
manifesto of henry j gardner :
“For refusing to disband the foreign com-
K connected with his regiment Col. But-
discharged from the service, instead
of being brought to court martial. Col.
Butler who is an able lawyer, acted under
a conviction of the legal duty, and refused
to obey an order which he thought unsanc
tioned by the statutes of the constitution.—
There are many military men who think as
he thinks; public opinion is divided, and
there is a general wish that the doubtful
point may be settled by the Supreme Court.
But Gov. Gardiner will neither take the
opinion of that court, nor will he permit
Col. Butler to take it, but with an imper
iousness worthy of a Russian Czar, he avails
himself of the strict letter of the law, and
drives a competent officer from the service.
This may be a very convenient way of set
tling vexed question, but it will not satisfy
the people.
Col. Butler had what he thought a very
strong case, and those who have beard the
points which he intended to raise consider
them every way worthy the attention of the
court. The Governor has escaped the
chance of a decision against the legality of
his section, but he cannot escape the impu
tations to which his course naturally sub
jects him.
If the 6th was cold, the 7th was doleful.
The temperature in this City, instead of
moderating, increased in severity during the
night of Tuesday. At 9 o’clock yesterday
morning, the mercury marked sixteen degrees
below zero, in a Broadway window. The air
continned keen and cutting till noon, when
snow began to fall heavily, and continued
falling tin midnight. The atmosphere was
filled with driving sleet, while the wind blew
a hurricane, piling the snow into drifts, and
leaving bare patches, which remained only
slippery and not snowy. A more uncom
fortable, unhappy day could not have been
devised.—A T . I. Times.
Geu. Houston made his contemplated
speech to-day, on the Army and Indian
questions. The galleries were crowded with
fair ones, who had assembled to hear him.
Sam Is as gallant as he is brave, and a
great favorite with the gentler sex. A few
minutes before he took the floor some ladies
in the gallery sent him their cards. The
General received them, cast a searching
glance along the “ line of beauty” which
edged the public gallery, until his eye rest
ed ou his fair friends, when he pressed their
cards gallantry to his lips, laid a hand up
on his heart, and bowed with an air of
courtly impressiveness that would have done
honor to the days of chivalry. In his
speech he zealously urged the appointment
of judicious commissioners to treat peaceful
ly with the Indian tribes, in lieu of provid
, ing soldiers to fight them, and add to their
when drugged with the bitterness of Know ; already, untold wrongs.

Decline in the United States Revenue.
—The decline in the amount of revenue
from customs, &c., collected during the
month of January, is said to be less by two
millions three hundred thousand dollars
than was received during January 1854.—
The aggregate falling off since the end of
October, when the reaction in the import
trade began is, $6,000,000. During the first
eleven months of the current fiscal year, the
decrease is $6,351,000.
Dying Words of Napoleon and Jose
phine.—The dying hours lingered slowly
away, during which inarticulate murmurs
were occasionally heard from the lips of the
illustrious sufferer. “Twice I thought,”
says Montholon, “that I distinguished the
unconnected words, ‘France—army—head
Of the army—Josephine.’” This was at six
o’clock in the morning. During the rest
of the day, until six o'clock in the evening,
he was lying upon his back, with his right
hand out of the bed, and his eyes fixed,
seemingly absorbed in deep meditation, and
without any appearance of suffering. A
pleasant and placid expression was spread
over bis features, as if he were sweetly
sleeping.
A dark and tempestuous night succeeded
the stormy day. The gale, with asign fury,
swept the ocean and the black rocks, and
wailed as mournful a dirge as could fall on
mortal ears. The very island seemed to
shake before the gigantic billows, hurled
against its craggy cliffs by the spirit of the
storm. In the midnight darkness of that
terrific elemental war, the spirit of Napol
eon passed the earthly vail, and entered the
dread unknown.
"Isle of Elba—Napoleon,” were the last
words of the gentle and loving Josephine.
"Iranee—the army—Josephine,” were the
last images which lingered m the heart, and
the last words which trembled upon the lips
of the dying Emperor.—John C. Abbott.
Important Law Suit Among Showmen.
—Barnum vs. Spalding.—"Wo understand
that Barnum has commenced suit against
Dr. Spalding, for several thousand dollars
damages, in consequence of the death of a
giraffe on board the “Floating Palace,” at-
New Orleans, some time since. Spalding,
it seems, had hired the animal with t:,e
privilege of buying; but in transfering it
to the “Palace,” notwithstanding every pre
caution was used to guard against all acci
dents or injury, he was accidentally drown
ed. Barnum claims the acccident occurred
in consequence of the negligence of Spald
ing, and claims damages for the value, about
$10,000. On the other hand, Spalding
claims that every possible precaution ana
diligence were used, and as the animal was
under the charge of a keeper appointed by
Barnum, if there was any carelessness or
negligence, it was through the carelessness
of such keeper that tho death of the animal
occurred, and that Barnum is liable for the
damage and loss estimated at $20,000, suff
ered by Spalding. Both parties have the
reputation of being rather shrewed in their
way, and as both are well able to pay the
lawyers, we hope they wili both obtain jus
tice, and get the worth of the money they
pay them.—Albany Argus.
scribed on the back of a five-dollar bill late
ly received in New York from North Caro

“Here is a $5 bill which I intend to toss
out of my window, in Norfolk, as soon as I
have written this. I am now no lover of
money. I hate it most cordially, for it has
been the ruin of all my family." I will beg

another cent one hour. It made my grand
father a suicide, my father a murderer, my
mother the victim of a sorrow that sunk her

The Races.
Charleston, Feb. 10.
The Jocky Club, purse, $600, three mile
heats was contested for to-day. Out of the
entries five started, viz: Brown Dick, Mary
Taylor, Highlander, Equinox and Patsey
O’Reilly. The former won in two straight
heats—Time 5.42 5.40.
The second Race, single dash of three
miles, was won by Little Arthur, beating
Henry, the Margrave fillv and Ellen Evans.
Time 5.48J.
Gov. Troup and LaFayette.—The Co
lumbus Times says :
When the Marquis de LaFayette visited
the United States, George M. Troupe was
Governor of Georgia. He received him at
Savannah, and, surrounded by his aids and
an immense concourse of people, conducted
him to the capital, where admirers of the
nation’s guest had congregated to do him
honor from every part of the State. At the
dinner given in his honor, tables were spread
on the campus on the east of the capitol.—
Governor Troup presiding with LaFayette
upon his right bond and his son on his left
hand. At the conclusion of the feast, it
was announced that the Governor would
f 've a toast; silence reigned supreme, when
roup arose and in a stentorian voice, which
reached the exiremest verge of the vast mul
titude, said:
“A union of all hearts to honor the na
tion’s guest; a union of all heads to promote
the coontry’s good.”
We doubt it the visit of LaFayette, which
called out so many good things, produced
any thing equal to this toast of the Govern
or of Georgia.

New York, Fob. 6, 1855.
Last Saturday morning we dropped in
upon mine host of the Westchester House,.
a good hostelry situated at the union
Bowery and Broome streets. Its bar, es
pecially on the Sabbath, has yielded a iat
income, and the new terrors with which the
new Mayor has invested the resuscitated
Sunday Law-have not hitherto sufficed to
drive the sturdy landlord from his gainful
calling on that day. The two first of the
four Sabbaths since its enforcement was at
tempted he ministered spiritual comfort to
his many patrons without pretext or excuse;
one week ago, grown more cantious, he sold
under the sanction of a hnge placard of
white muslin stretched along his bar beam
in large characters, a quotation from the re
vised statutes of the State of New York, to
the end that no liquor would be dispensed
save to hoarders and persons actually trav
eling on that day. And marvelous it was
to see the sudden mania for going abroad.
Young men from the next block, who had
been smitten with the desire to visit foreign
parts, respectable heads of families round
the corner, who had bid adieu to their wives
and little ones, so antiquated gentlemen who
had been many years traveling fast to the
grave, came pouring in for a glass of Mat
thew’s cordial to cheer them on their wind
ing way. Bat even the hospitality to the
wayfaring man and the stranger within his
gates has ceased. We found the entrance
to the bar room closed and the landlord
standing moodily beside it. As we tried
the door mine host said in a solemn voice,
“ The bar is closed ; no liquor will be sold
on these premises to-day. My medicines
are good, but Dr. Wood won’t allow me to
administer. You can have a cigar.” Ig
niting a weed wo were soon busied in noting
the frequent comers, many of whom were
the travelers of last Sunday. After fum
bling at the door to purpose, and looking
their disgust at the innocent waiters, they
left, dry as they came. We were deeply
moved at the sight of a pair of shaky legs
bringing in a purple-veined, carbuncled old
face, which, when it perceived the entrance
to its wonted haunt was blocked, put on
such a woe-begone despairing look that the
most nltra tetotaller, Neal Don himself,
would have been moved to pity at the sight.
And so ended the Sunday reign of rum in
New York.
A bushel of potatoes in town is one thing
and a bushel of potatoes in the country is
another, as the Inspector of Weights and
Measures for the second district has stated
officially, that of 1,397 dry measure, which
he inspected, but 317 were correct. In the
rustic simple city of our boyhood we had
tolerably exact notions of an honest dry
quart, peck, bushel and barrel, but sundry
visits to the city markets where we have
seen quantities pretending to be of these de
nominations have quite unsettled our early
leaving, so that if called upon to state the
number of pecks in a bushel, having in our
mind tho bushels of our infancy and the
pecks of Washington Market, we should be
more likely to mention eight than any other
number.
The million and a quarter of gold brought
by the California steamer of the 1st inst.
has mostly passed into the banks, thus in
creasing their security. Money is increas
ing in abundance, and paper at short dates
passes quickly at 8 to 10 per cent. Busi
ness is slowly waking up. We anticipate a
good and safe business during the coming
season.
The U. S. frigate Sabine, whose keel was
laid in 1823, daring the second term of
Jackson’s administration, was launched at
the Navy Yard on Saturday. She mounts
48 guns, and her crew, when in commission,
will number 475.
One of those humbugs, known under such
names as gift enterprises, splendid opportu
nities, and high sounding titles generally,
has been dragged to light within the past
three days. It appears that a Mr. Win. H.
Holbrook, picture dealer on Broadway, has
been for some months sending out an ad
vertisement representing himself as Secrer
tary of an Artists’ Union to more than four
hundred papers, as he has confessed, without
intending to pay them for publishing it.—
He has also signed himself J. W. Holbrook,
who was lost in the Arctic. He has also
stated he was worth from $10,000 to $15,000
which was so situated it could not be reach
ed. He has been arrested and held to an
swer for fraud.
Amusements are at a low ebb. Theatres
are struggling hard to outlive the pressure
of the times. Mario and Grisi have closed
their engagement in Boston, and will give
three operas and one concert in this city and
immediately return to Europe. But we are
promised something novel in the line of
amusements. Pope Rio Nine, it is said, has
become a sort of sanctified Barnum, and is
about to send to our shores the picture of
the “ Waking Madonna of Rimini,” which,
as all your readers know, opens, rolls and
shuts its eyes supernaturally.
Books for children form a fair proportion
of the issues of the press, and many a pret
ty thing lias been secured to the little peo
ple by some of the ablest writers, who have
not thought it beneath them to form the
taste of their successors. A fine work of
this class, entitled “ Richard, the Lion-
Hearted,” being the first of a series to be
called “ Romance of Biography,” written
by Rev. Dr. Hawks, has just been published
by J. S. Dickerson, 697 Broadway. The
stirring and eventful life of the great King
is written in an easy but glowing style most
likely to win the young.
This.day is the coldest of the season; a
keen wind searches the streets, and despite
the sun shining the air is full of frost.

FOR ALL THE PURPOSES 07 A
FAMILY PHYSIC.
There has long existed a public demand for as
effective purgative pill which could be relied on a«
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This hat
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extea
sivc trial of its virtues has conclusively shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed
It is easy to make a physical fill, but not easy tc
make the best of all f 'dh one which should have
none of the abjections, but all the advantages, of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit tc
the public decision. It has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
griping pain and revulsion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pais,
unless it arise from a previously existing obstruc
tion or derangement in the bowels, Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
bo taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap
plicable arc given on the box. Among the com
plaints which have been speedily cured by them, we
mnv mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of jkp-
oetito, Listlessncss, Irritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and T,oins ; for, in truth, all these are but the con
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
u.a and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
fleers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
«nd every case where a purgative is required.
Obituary.
Died, in Atlanta, Ga., on Saturday morning,
Oct. 21, 1854, in the forty-second year of her age,
after a brief illness, Mrs. Jake A. Thompson, for
many years an esteemed resident of Columbia.
Scarcely four years ago she became the wife of
Dr. Joseph Thompson of Atlanta, and left the
home of her childhood to preside over his estab
lishment, and to assume a mother’s place to his
children. How faithfully those duties were ful
filled the anguish of an inconsolable husband, the
grief of his once more orphaned children, and tho
tears of a large circle of friends can testify. Her
own children scarcely mourn their less more deep
ly than do those of her adoption. How much of
praise are in those words!
She had been for some time a member of the
Presbyterian Church, and her conversation on the
day previous to her death gave he friends assur
ance that she was not unprepared for the change
which awaited her—that she had a hope beyond
the grave. May her bereaved husband and chil
dren find consolation in that hope of a blissful
meeting, “where the wicked cease from troubling,
mid the weary are at rest.”
“There is a calm for those who weep,
A rest for weary pilgrims found;
They softly lie and sweetly sleep
Low in the ground.
For now is laid the aching head
And throbbing heart beneath the soil;
They slnmber in a dreamless bed,
From all earth’s toil.”
M
Died, on the 20th Dec. last, Eliza Jane Gam-
moss, Wife of Josiah Gammons, and daughter of
J. V. and Martha White Gammons, aged 22 years,
27th Sept, lact..
The v W also produced some singularly suc
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Fains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
oowels into healthy action, and restores the appe
tite and vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious derangement exists; but un
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
a physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body; ana it is confidently believed this pill will
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues arc once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of a
cathartic medicine.

This remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its cures of every variety of pulmonary disease,
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evi
dences of its virtues in any community where i:
has been employed. So wide is the field of its us-
fulness, and so numerous the cases of its cure:-
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and oven desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appar
ent to escape observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to emplov for the distressing and dangerous affec
tions of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at-
tacks upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties
of Colds. Coughs, Hoarseness, &c. ; and foi
Children it is the pleasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.

My Dear Sir:—I have just had the
pleasure of examining a very superior
specimen of Dentistry.
A full set of Upper "Teeth inserted
on platina plate with continuous gum of silicious com
pound /
The set is of the manufacture of Dr. L. L. Ledbetter
of this place. For beauty of finish, strength & per-
manancy and natural life like i-pppearance, this pro-
ess is certainly far superior to anything I have ever
seen.
At the distance of a few feet, this Job would defy
detection. So much is it like the teeth and gums of
the Great Architect. Permit me to recommend to
your consideration most favorably Dr Ledbetter’s
claims as a Surgeon Dentist. He is a resident of this
city, permanently located, of high moral and religious
character, and certainly a very superior workman
If you or any of your friends* have any thing to be
done in his line, do me the favor to give the Dr., a call
at his office over U. L. Wriigh’s old stand on White
Hall Street.
Yours Reapectfullv.
