The last Legislature appropriated $16,000 to the
Institute at Marietta. It is based upon the system
at West Point, which endeavors to properly devel
op? the Phytiqw, at the same time, with the growth
of the mind. The appropriation was to be expend
ed under the direction of the Board of Vis tors, ap
pointed by- the Governor; and in obedience to his
summons, there assembled at the Institute on
Wednesday, tlie Bth insL, the following of the Board:

R. Jessup. Capt. B. F. Rose, Capt J. P. Screven, Col*

paid first, which was done, amounting to near $7500.
Th balance is to be expended in enlarging, after a

The Pensacola and Montgomery Railroad.
Mr. Milner informs ug (says the Pensacola Gazette)
that the surveying Las been completed, and the
work will be commenced next week—-stakes be set
and the ground broken. The rails are to extend to
the beach at the foot of what is now called Taragona
street, toe hne of which it will be necessary to cut
through; but we are not mistaken, we believe, when
we assert that the city has contracted to furnish the
opening of it preparatory to the grading of tlie rail
road. The Depot is situated 4000 feet from the
besoh, extending 2000 feet in length by 400 wide.
At the extremity of the rails there will, doubtless,
be another wharf constructed in order that vessels
may the more easily load without the necessity of
their cargoes being carried in drays or carts to the
other wharves. This, however, will be constructed
and built after the finishing of the railroad Now
things arc progressing favorably for the railroad, and
we hope it will be carried through without interrup
tion or detriment. Iney (the builders) have much
to oontend against, but, with a bright look out
ahead, all obstructions can be either avoided or rem
edied.
Steamboat Bomt—Georgians Lost 1
Mr. B. H. Clark, formerly of Troup county, Ga.,
writes us from Alexandria, La., (April 6,) that a fra
cas occurred on board the steamboat Belifair, about
three miles above the junction of the Red and Missis
sippi rivers between the Irish boathands and the
deck passengers; the captain immediately command
ed the peace, which was restored until the boat
reached the Mississippi, when the fight again com
menced, resulting in bloody work on both sides.—
During the fracas, or shortly thereafter, the boat
took lire and was destroyed, making a loss of $14,000
for the owners to bear. Among the deck passengers
lost—-either in the flames or by drowning—the fol
lowing from this State are named: J. B. i'aylor, of

8,500 men swept resistless through the pass of Cer

and Churubusco—with 7,100 stormed Chepultepec,
defended by 20,000 —with 6,000 took the city of

ESP*A young man desperately in love with a girl
at Stancho, eagerly sought to marry her, but his
proposals were rejected. In consequence of his dis
appointment, he bought some poison and destroyed
himself. The Turkish police instantly arrested the
father of the young woman, as the cause, by impli
cation. of the young man’s death, under the fifth
species of homicide; he became, therefore, amenable
for the act of suicide. When the case came before
the magistrate, it was urged literally by the accusers,
that if he, the accused, had not a daughter, the de
ceased would not have been disappointed and died.
Upon all these counts he was mulcted to pay the price
of the young man’s life, which wa6 fixed at 80 pias
ters, and was accordingly exacted.

Beautiful Assortment of Yalei tines!
H*FESKIABV 14th, 1836..^
I HAVE just received from New York, Balti
more, and Philadelphia, the most extensive as
sortment of Valentines ever offered in this place, and
every thing connected with them, such as Writers,
Verses, Envelopes, Lace Paper, Ate., and am prepar
ed to fill orders, Wholesale or Retail, at prices from
five cents to twenty dollars.
1 have invoked Venus, the goddess of beauty and
love, and her darling Cupid, and they have gracious
ly chosen for their retreats the Madison Book Store,
and have commissioned their friend, Benjamin G,
Liddon, as high priest of love, courtship and marri
mony.
“The world is full of poetry—the air
Is living with its spirit; and the waves
Dance to the music of its melodies
And sparkle in its brightness.”
This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of af
fections, which are borne upon the gilded wings of
Cupid’s messenger, in the form of a Valetine, to some
fair friend breathing the pure sentiments of friend
ship, esteem, and all the kindlier regards for those to
whom we donate. It may, perchance, be received
with silent approval, told only by the fair faoe,
“Where eloquent blushes burn and fade,
Rich with the wealth of warm emotion;
Or starry dimples mock the abade,
Like jewels in a restless ocean.”
Valentines are the ambassadors of thought, where
language faila They substitute, in glowing eloquenoe,
the reading of the heart, by their symbolic meaning.
Faithful to my trust, as a so vant of the public I
am doing all in my power to further the interests of
those youths and maidens who are suffering from an
affection of the heart. To all, of every age, and of
every rank in life, I offer a specific that has never
failed. Such is the wonderful power of the Y*ien
tines sold by me, as a philanthropist and conservator
of the tender passions, that none make love without
Banding one as a pioneer. BENJ. G. LIDDON,
Madison, Feb 2,1866, 4tf
