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 (Iw tiHHtotawWowuai A Courier.] OMintmWUTOtTWHiVlHA AnUHtStii 1—0«■> toUtman 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 lina: “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 from door to door eternally rather than own 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 early to the grave, my brother a gambler, and myself a convict in the State prison four years. 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. PROCEEDINGS OF COCNC -L. Council Chamber, Atlanta, 1 February 9th, 1855. j Council met—Present Hon. Alison Nelson, May or; AMcrmen Barnes, Farrar, Baldwin, Glen, Pow ell, Kile, Barn all. The minutes of last meeting were read and con firmed. The Committee on Finance reported bills to the amount of $78.20c., which were ordered to be paid. Be it Ordained by the Mayor and Council of the city of Atlanta and it is hereby ordained by au thority of tho same, That the proprietors of ho tels, in the city of Atlana, be required to provide each and every servont or porter, who may visit the cars for the purpose of conveying bagage, or conducting passengers to and from the passenger depot, with a frontlet to be worn on the hat or head, with the name of the hotel to which said porter or servant may belong, and also numbered. And on failure to comply with this requisition shall bo liable to a fine not exceeding twenty-fivo dollars and cost for each offence. This ordinance to take effect on and after the first day of March next. The resignation of J. M. Farmer, Night Watch, was received and D. H. Daugherty elocted to fill his place. On motion Council adjourned. H. 0. Holcombe, C’lk. 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. PREPAttED BY JAMES C.
