The House was called to order by Speaker Moses, and a prayer offered by Adams, (colored Ninety members were present. Speaker Moses seized this opportunity to un harden himself of a long and bombastic address He commenced with some lachrymose allusions to the legislators who had died since the last ses sion. After admitting thc self-evident fact, that the Legislature was utterly destitute of political wisdom, learning and sagacity, he magnanimous ly attributed to Providence the legislativ * triumphs which had been achieved. He point ed ont what he. considered had been the wondrous advancement of .the Sute since the day of emancipation, and, after declar? ing t$at history could show no parallel to the great social aad political revolution which had been wrought, he compared the enfranchise ment of the blacks to the deliverance of the chit dren of Israel from Egyptian bondage, modestly leaving them to infer who had really been and who deserved to be recognized as their-Moses. After a passing puff to Gov ernor Scott,(whom Speaker Moses piously hopes to succeed in the gubernatorial chair,) he proceeds to vindicate at some length the manner In which the State finances had been managed, and wound op by complimenting by name, and in very ful son? style, the Secretary of State, the Auditor the Superintendent of Education, the Attorney General, and* (not unmindful of the mammon of unrighteousness,) the Comptroller-General and Treasurer Parker. To make the burlesque com plete, he gravely told them in conclusion: "Schemes of doubtful, and perhaps unnecessary expenditure may bc urged upon you, bat I trust that all such wttl meet an unyielding barrier In your high sense of duty, in your honesty of pur? pose, and in your unswerving fidelity to your ! trust."

Tlic carpenters, carpet-layers, and a host o? otber workmen, have been busily engaged all day in patting the finishing touches to thc .Senate Chamber and Hou?e ol Representatives. Goth hall?, with their fresh paint, new curtains, new car? pets, new oilcloths, Ac. look very pretty, and arc really tastefully titted t.p. They will not, how? ever, be tu thorough order for this session of the Legislature. A Radical, with a lady on each arru, looked in thc Senate Chamber this morning, and remarked, with that peculiar twang which stamped lum as a vDcown Bast"-er, that this here hall tTOnld bc just ready ia time for a Democratic Legislature to Kit m. As thc hall will bc complet? ed next winter, after the elections, the Deown East-er's remark may be considered prophetic. To-day the Governor was invisible to every? body and, as stated, was locked up in his ofllce writing hi** message, lt will be a long document, compose 1 of all the ?deas on all the subjects that thc Governor and his private secretary can collect between them. Thc query is not. as is usually thc case, what subjects will the message treat of, but what will it not treat of. lt is not yet known whether it will be read on Wednesday or Thurs? day. Those who claim to know thc contents of the message assert that the ?aborquestion is pret? ty thoroughly ventilated, and that as the state Labor Convention convenes on Wednesday, and will probably on that day come to -ionic conclu? sion in regard to that vexed question, the Gov? ernor will withhold his message until Thursday, lu order that he may know the result of thc de? liberations of that body, and tone his ideas of the labor question to suit before giving them to thc public.

A number of county commissioners have ar? rived to deliberate in regard to the township question. A meeting will be held utan early day. It is thought the system will be either abolished altogether, or its working suspended for ten years. Thc I'nited States District Court was in session in the "chapel" at the Nlckerson House to-day, Hon. George S. Bryan presiding. Thc jurymen did not attend in sulllcient numbers to be organ? ized, and the Judge ordered that others he sum? moned to appear at ll o'clock to morrow morn? ing, to which hour the court shortly afterward adjourned. Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken, secretary and treasu? rer of thc State Agricultural and Mechanical So? ciety, who was sent by the society as a delegate to thc Macon Fair, returned from there yesterday.

Thc result of this test will be looked forward to with great interest. The premium list of the State Fair next year will be over $10,000. Governor Bonham aud General Gary are here. A PHILADELPHIA SENSATION. Thc Man Who Inherited $70,000,000. Thc Philadelphia Age hus the followta*.'. There lias been a sudden explosion in our higher-life circles-an explosion that has caused disaster, dismay and grief. Some few weeks ago the announcement appeared that a youngman who, for three years prior, had been serving thc guests of a Harrisburg hotel with tripe and browned lish-balls had fallen heir io an immense fortune. Discarding the towel, the apron, and and dispelling that air of servile submission which all thoroughly-instructed waiters are supposed to possess, he launched out Into a career 01 fashionable excitement and flirta? tion. He caine to this city. Thc report spread quickly of the rortunc which, by thc death of an aunt in England, he had fallen heir to ; and gos? sip passed it from mouth to mouth until it was declared, with his sanction, that he was thc lucky possessor of $70,000,000. To authenticate all this, he would show what appeared to be true and faithful transcripts of the will, deeds, Ac, of this great estate. He became intimate with our Mar? ket-street merchants. Possessing the open sesame, cheek and money, he found no difficulty in creeping Into fashionable society, and then springing up as a real, undisguised Hon. A certain West Philadelphia Congressman de? tailed his coacli-and-two to convey this young loni about. Thc managers of a number of our charitable institutions received his notes, promis? ing donations of startling extravagance. He even went so far as to declare his Intention of en? riching the friends who had known him when he was nothing more than a poor, down-trodden server of tripe and steak, and living in this belief, they invited him to their homes-treated him in as friendly manner as their means would allow. About a week ago thc great dmouernent came I It was discovered that while he had received a small fortune, about uve thousand dollars, through his own actions and conceits il was putred up to the enormous amount named. What he did have carried him along for three weeks with all the eclat and individual grandeur that envelopes a prince. His money is all gone; he is denied wher? ever his name ls known; and the oon-fon now wonder at their short-sightedness in believing him endowed with the wealth be confessed ta Unfortunately for him, he had mentioned high parlies in New York as being his backers. They were telegraphed to. and returned an answer that he was an imposter. TRAVELLING IN STILE. The most riicla-roynl production in the world in thc way Of travelling carriages is the Imperial tra?a of France, lt is a v?ritable train, not mere? ly one carriage in a train. First, after the engine and tender, comes a luggage carriage-not au un? inhabitable van, but u s'.ructuro which, besides ordinary luggage, contains nantrv arrangements for refreshments, and accommodation for some ol the company's and Imperial servants. Next is a carriage adapted as a dining-room-or at least as ? refreshment room-with a centre tai;)'*, arm? chairs, and hinged scats; and when, at night, thc seats are drawn away from the wal!, they fall back so as to form bedsteads for the attendants. Third in tac list, stands an open or platform car? riage, which may be opened or closed at thc sides at pleasure, and used either as an open-air look? out or as a refreshment room. Then cunes the grand carriage, the imperial saloon, with a ret ir? ing room attached, and doors at the sides and end-'. AU that luxury can do is here done In the provision of couches, arm-chairs, folding? chairs, movable chairs, small tablas and stands, curtains, wire-gauze blinds, to exclude dust when the win-lows are open, a timepiece, pendent lamps and mirrors. The fifth is a sleeping car? riage, divided otr Into seven distinct compart? ments; these comprise ?1 sleeping chamber ?ir bedroom, two dressing rooms, two rooms for the Empress' ladies, one for the Emperor's valet., and a rei iring room. The sleeping chamber con? tains two beds, on opposite sides of a compart? ment uincfect wide. Next, to thc sanctum or toe Imperial papa and mamma is a carriage for the Prince imperial, with numerous snuggeries for sleeping, dressing and attendants. Lastly, there is a luggago-carriaire, the counterpart or thc one at the head of the train, AU the carriages have doors at the end. and platforms which make a convenient gangway from carriage to carriage; and there arc electric balls from the Imperial sa? lomi to all thc other carriage? and to the engine driver and guards. THE UNKNOWN REO JONS, Dr. Livingstone Certainly Safe - His Report on Iii* African Exploration* and thc Sources ol* thc ?Vile-Thc Problem " Xow Solved.' A cable dispatch received last evening an? nounces thar, a commnnication had been received front Dr. Livingstone, dated CTJfJt,- May 13, 1SH9, in which lie says that he was In good health and had been treated well everywhere. This news gives additional interest to the following dispatch from thc eminent explorer, which was read at a meeting of the Royal geographical Society of London, hold on November s. sir Roderick Murchison presiding : NKAIl LAKE BAKOWBOLO,. 1 SOUTH ClKTRAL AFRICA, July, 1S0S. j My Lura-When I bad the honor or writing to yon in February, ISO". I had the impression that 1 was then on Ute watershed between thc Zambezi and either the Congo or the Nile. More extAnded observation luis since convinced me of the essen? tial correctness of that impression; and from what 1 have seen, together with what I have learned from iutclligciit natives, I think that I rniiv safely assort thai thc chid sources ortho Nile arise between lo deg. and ii deg. south latitude, or nearly in thc iv ?si: ion assigned to them by Ptolemy, whose River Rhapta is probably the Bo vatua. Aware that others have been mistalten, and laying no claim to infallibility, I <U> not yet speak very positively, particularly ol the parts west and northwest of Tanganyika, because these nave not yet come under my observation; but ir your lordship will read thc following short ski tell of my discoveries you will perceive that the springs or the Nile have hitherto been searched lor very much too far to the north. They rise some 400 miles south ut" thc most southerly por? tion-ot" thc Victoria Nyanza, and indeed south of all thc lakes except Bungweolo. Leaving the valley or tr-.e Loangwa. which en? ters the Zambezi at Zumba, we climbed np what seemed to be a great mountain mass, ont it turn? ed ont to be only t lie southern edge oran elevated region, which ls from MOO to 6CKW lett above tho level of the sea. nils upland may roughly bc said to cover a spaca south or Lake Tanganyika nf some 35? miles square. It is gent-rally cover? ed with dense or open forest, has an undulating, sometimes hilly, surface, a rich soli, is well wa? tered by numer?os rivulets and, for .Urica, is sold, lt slopes towards thc north and west, but I have found no part of it under :woo feet or alti? tude. Thc country of Usango, situated cast of thc space indicated, is also an upland, and affords pasturage to thc immense herds of callie of the Rassango, a remarkably light-colored race, very friendly to strangers. Usango forms the eastern side of a great bat still elevated valley. Thc other or western side is formed by what are called tho Rone Mountains, beyond the copper mines of Ka? tanga. Still runtier west, and beyond the Kone range or plateau, our old acquaintance the Zaraiie zi, under thc name Jamball, is said to risc. Thc southern end of the great valley enclosed between Usango and the Rone range is between ll deg. and 12 deg. south. It waa rarely possible there to see a star, lint accidentally awaking one morn? ing lietwccu two and three o'clock, I found one which showed latitude ll deg. 56" min. south, anil we were then fairly on the upland. Next day wc passed two rivulets running north. As we ad? vanced, brooks evidently perennial became numerous. Some went eastward lo rall Into thc Loangwa: others went northwest to join tho river Chambeze. Misled by it map calling this river in an o If-hand manner "Zambezi, eastern branch,.'' I took it to be thc southern river of that name; but thc Chambeze, with all its branches, flows from the eastern side into the centre of thc great upland valley mentioned, which ls probably the valley of the Nile, it is an Interesting riveras helping to form three lakes, and changing its name three times in the 500 or <;uo miles or ils course, lt Wits first crossed by thc Portuguese, who always inquired for Ivory and slaves, and heard of not liing else. A person who collected all, even the hearsay geography of Jhe Portu? guese, knew s-i little actually of the country that he put a large river hero running :>ooo fed uphill, and called it the New Zambezi. I crossed the Chambeze In io dog. 34 in. south and several ol its continents south and north quite as large as thc Isis at Oxford, but running faster and having hippopotami in them. 1 mention these animals.because lu navigating the Zambezi 1 could always steer the Steamer boldly to where they lay. sure or anding not less than eight feel or water. Thc Chambeze runs into Lake- llangwcolo, and on coining out of it assumes the natue of Ul? apula. Thc Luapula down down north past, thc town of Cazcmbe, anti twelve tailem below it enters Lake Mocro. On leaving Hosea ai- its northern end by a rent in the mountains of Una. lt takes the name Luulaba, and passing on N.N.W., forms (Henge in thc country west or Tanganyika. I have seen it only where it leaves Mocro and where il comes oat Of the crack in the mountains or Una, but am (piitc satlsllcd that even before it receives thc river Sofouso from Marungti, anti theSobttrl from the Batons country, it ts quite suflleieut to lorin Ulengc, whether that isa luke with many islands, as some assert, or a sort of Punjaub, a division into several branches as is maintain? ed by others. These branches are all gather? ed up by Hie Luttra, a large river which by many confluents drains thc western side or the irreat valley. I have not seen the Lu3ra, but pointed out west or eleven degrees south, lt ls there asserted always to require canoes. This is purely native informal ion. Some intelligent men assert that when 1.illira takes up the water or Ulcnge, it flows north northwest into Lake Cho? wan! be, which I conjecture to be that discovered by Mr. Baker. Others think that it goes into Lake Tanganyika ut Uv i ra, and still passes north? ward into Chowambe by a river named Luanda. These are Ute parts regarding which I suspend my Judgment. If I am in error there and live through it, I shall correct myself. My opinion at present is, if the large amount or water 1 have seen going north docs not flow past Tanganyika on the west, lt must have an exit from the lake, and in all likelihood by the boanda. Looking back again lo Hie upland, it is well divided into districts, Lohisa, Lobemba, Ubcngu, Itawa, Lo pcrc, Kabuirc, Marunga, bunda, or Lom I a, and Rua; the people are known by the initial "Ha" in? stead of the Initial Lo or U for country. The Arabs soften Ha into Wa, in accordance with their Sua? heli dialect: the natives never do. On the north? ern slope ol thc upland, on Hie 2d or April, iso", 1 discovered Lake Llemba; it lies in a hollow with precipitous sides two thousand feet down; it is extremely beautiful, sides, top aud bottom being covered with trees and other vegetation. Ele? phants, buffaloes aud antelopes feed on the steep slopes, while hippopotami, crocodiles anti llsh swann in the waters. Onus being unknown, the elephants, unless Koiuctiiues deceived into a pit? fall, have it all their own way. It is as perfect a natural paradise as Xenophon could have desired. On two rocky islands men till thc land, rear goats and catch fish; the villages ashore are embower? ed m the palm oil palms of the West Coast or Af? rica. Pour considerable streams Mow into Licm ba, and a number of brooks (Scottico, "trout burns,"] from twelve to fifteen feet broad, leap down thc steep, bright red clay schist rocks and form splendid cascades that make thc dullest of my attendants pause uud remark with wonder. 1 measured one of thc streams, thc Lorn, ilfty miles from Its confluence, and found it at a ford 294 feet, say luo yards broad, thigh and waste deep, and flowing fast over hardened sandstone flag In September-thc last rain liad fallen on the 12th of May. Elsewhere the Lofu requires canoes. The l/mzua drives a large body of smooth water into Liemba, bearing on its surface duck weed and grassy islands; this body or water was ten fath? oms deep. Another of thc four streams ls said to bc larger than the Lofu, but an ovcr-onlcious headman prevented my seeing more of it. and another than their mouths. Thc lake ls not large, from eighteen to twenty milos broad, and from thirty-five to forty long. It goes orr north, northwest in a riverJlke prolongation two miles wide, it is f aid, lo Tanganyika. 1 would have set it down as an arm of that lake bul that its sur race is2S00 foctabovo the level of the sea, while Speke mukes it ISM feet only. I tried to follow the river-like portion, but was prevented by a war which had broken out between the chief of Itawa and a party ol'ivory traders of Zanzibar. I then set od* to go 120 miles south, tuen west, un past the dis: orbed district, and explore the ?rent u," Tanganyika, hut on going eighty miles I found thu Arab party, showed them a letter fruin tho Sul? tan ofZa?zib.tr, willoh I Owe to the kind offices of his Excellency sir lian ie frere, uovcrnor of Bombay, and was at once, supplied with provi? sions, cloth and beads; they showed the greatest kindness and anxiety lor my safely and success. The bends of the party readily perceived Ibala continuance or hostilities: meant shutting up the Ivory'market, but t:.e peace-making was a tedious process, requiring three mouths and a hall. I wa:-, glad to sc.: Hie mode of ivory and slave trad? ing of these men, it formed such a perfect con? trast to that of the raiHausfrom Kllwa, ami to the ways of tho atrocious Portuguese from Kette, who were connived ot in their monters by thc Governors d'Almeida. Arter peace was mad .-. I visited Nlsama, thc chieror itawa, and having left tho Arabs went on lo Lake Moero, which I reached On September t\ 18G7. in the northern part or Mocro iii? from twenty to thirty-three miles broad. Further south lt is al least BiXtv miles wide and it is Iii ty miles long, lunges of tree-covered mountains dank lt on both Kid.-s, but. ot tho brood pari, ike western mountains dwindle out of sight. Passing up tin. eastern side of Mooro wc came toCazembe, whose predecessors have been three times assisted by ?'ortuguese.

I was forty days at GazembeV, and inlghfthcn have gone on to liang woclo, which is larger than either of the other lakes: but the ruins had pet In, and lins lake was reported to bc vory unhealthy. Not having a grain of any kind or medicine, uud as fever, with? out treatment, produced vcrv disagreeable symp? toms. I thought that it would be unwise to ven? ture where swelled thyroid jrt.iud. known xs Der byshire neck, and elephantiasis (scro'i) prevail. 1 then went north for Ujijl, where I have goods, and I hope letters, fur I have heard nothing from thc wr.r'd for more than two years; but when 1 got wi: MI thirteen days of Tanganyika I was brought to a standstill by the superabundance of water in the country in front. A native party came through and described the country as in? undated, so as often to be high and waist deep, with sleeping places difficult to lind. This flood lasts till May or June. At last I became so tired of inactivity that I doubled back on my course to Casein be. To give an idea of tho inundation which, in a small way, enacts thc part of the Nile lower down, I had to cross two rivulets which How into the north end of thc Macro; une was thirty, the other forty yards broad, crossed by bridges. One had a (pinner, the other half a mile or nomi on cacti side. Moreover, one, the I.uo, hail covered a plain abreast of Mooro, so that the water on a great part reached from the knees to the upper part of the cheal. The plain was of black mud, with grass higher than our heads. We had to fol? low t he path which, in places, the feet of passen? gers had worn into deep ruts. Into these we every now and then plunged and fell over tho ancles in soft mud, while hundreds of bubbles rushed up and. bursting, emitted a frightful odor. Wo had four hours of this wading and plunging the last mlle was the worst ; and right glad wc were lo get out of it and bathe in the clear tepid waters and sandy beach of Mocro. In going up the bank of the lake, we first of all forded four torrents, thigh deep; then a river eightv vania wide ami .'soo yards of Hood on Its west bank, so deep we hud to keep to thc canoes till within Hfty yards of the higher ground; then four brooks, from live to fifteen yards broad. One of these, the Cliungu, possesses a somewhat mel? ancholy interest as that on which poor Dr. L?cenla died. .Ile was the only Portuguese; visitor who had any sricntiilc education, and his latitude of Cazembe'S Town on the Chungn being tl fly miles wrong, probably reveals that his mind was clouded with lever when he last observed, and any one who knows what that Implies will loo!; on his error with compassion. The ('Mungil went high on the chest, and one hail to walk on tiptoe to avoid swimming. As 1 crossed ?ill these brooks nt high and low water I observed the dif? ference tu be from fifteen to eighteen inches, and from all the perennial streams thc Hood is a clear water. The st tte of the rivers and country made mc go in the very lightest marching order-took nothing but the most necessary Instruments and no paper except a couple of note books and thc Bible. On unexpectedly finding a party going to the coast, I borrowed a piece of paper from an Arab, aud thc defects-unavoidable in thc circum? stances-you will kindly excuse. Only one of my attendants would come here; thc others, un vari? ous pretences, absconded. Thc fact is, they are all tired of this everlasting tramping, und KO verily am 1. Were it not. for an Inveterate dis? like to give in to difficulties, without doing my utmost to overcome them, I would abscond too. I comfort myself with thc hope that by making the country and people better known I am doing good; and by imparting a little knowledge oc? casionally I may be working in accordance with the plans of an all-embracing Providence. I was in the habit of sending my observations to the Cape Observatory, where Slr T. Maclean, thc Astronomer Royal and the Assistant Astrono? mer, Mr. Manu, bestowed a ?great deal of gratui? tous attention on them iu addition to the regular duties of thc observatory. They tested their ac? curacy In a variety or ways, which those only who arc versed in the higher mathematics can understand or appreciate. The late Karl of Elles? mere publicly said of a single sheet of these most carefully tested geographical positions, that they contained more geography than many large volumes. While the mass"of true observations arbich went to the Royal Observatory at the Cape required much time for calculation, I worked out a number in a rough way, leaving out many minute corrections, such us for the height of the thermometer and barometer, the horizontal parallax and semi-diameter uf planets, using but une moon's semi-diameter and horizontal parallax for a set of distances, though of several hours' duration; corrections for the differences of proportional logan hising, Ac, and with these confessedly imperfect longi? tudes made and sent some sketch Maps to give general ideas ol' the countries explored. They wen- imperfect, as calculated and made in the confusion of thc multitude of matters that crowd on thc mind of an explorer, but infinitely better than ma:'y of the published maps. SlrT. Maclean, for instance, says that short of a trigonometric survey, no river has been laid down so accurately as the Zambezi; ?ind Mr. Mann, alter most care? ful examination of thc series of chronometric ob? servations, which more than once ra? from tho sra of Zctteupto Lake Ny ossa, any error in t lie longitude cannot possibly amount to four min? utes. Well, ufier all my care und risk of health, and even of lifo, His not very inspiring lo Hud 200 miles of lake tacked on to thc northwest cud of Nyassa-and these 'Joo miles perched up on the upland region and passed over some ?JU00 feet higher than tile rest of the lakes. We shall probably hear that the author of this feat in faueography claim therefrom to be con. Bidereda theoretical discoverer of the sources of thc Nile. My imperfect longitudes and sketches led some to desecrate the perfect ones from the observatory. This crulung alto in algela was fix? ed by seven sets of lanar distances, that is, at least sixty-three distances between the moon ?iud stars, and probably one hundred altitudes of sun or stars, ull made in risk uf and sometimes actually suffering from African fever. Six sets showed from one to three minutes on each side of longitude 14 decrees east, bat the seventh showed a few minutes to the west. The six were thrown aside and the seventh adopted, because a Portuguese sahl to me that, he thought that spot might be about midway between Ambaca and the sea. Ainhaea he hail never seen, and the folly of intermeddling ls apparent from the change not making thc spot perceptibly nearer thc imagi? nary midway, and no one had ever observed them before, nur In our day will ubserve agalB. Other freaks, and one specially immoral, were perform? ed, and tu my gentle remonstrances I received only a giggle. The desccrutiuu my positions have suffered is probably unknown to the council, but there is all the more reason why I should adhere to my resolution to be the guardian of my own observations till publication. 1 regret this, be? cause thc upsetting of thc canuc, ur anything happening lo rue, might lead to Hie entire loss uf thc discoveries. My borrowed paper ls done, or I should havo given a summary of the streams which, flowing into Cham bese, Luapula, Lualaba aud the lakes, may be called sewers. Thirteen, all larger than the Isis at Oxford, or Avon at Hamilton, run into une line of drainage, live into another and fuur Into a third receptacle-twenty-three in all.

Winter licuor! for Invalid-,. Thc village of Aiken is rapidly rising into prominence as a winter resort for invalids, and especially for such as .sillier fruin pulmonary com? plaints. The New York Post of Saturday hist edi? torially says : Aiken, in Soi;th Carolina, Isa place much visile.! by Northern invalids. . lt is easily reached by rail? road, and lies eight miles casi of Augusta. Ga., in a forest of pines, 'ibo climate herc from Ne? ve nbe.r to March is like a long Indian summer. T?0 sky i?) uf the deepest blue, llieair is singularly tranquil and balmy, and severe frosts are almost unknown. Hie hotel at Aiken, bas lately changed banda, and ls now a first-class house in every respect. A correspondent of tue Richmond Dispatch, himself an invalid, writing to Hutt paper from Aiken, says: We arrived here on thC'J2d of October, and at first wore aol at all pleased wil li Hie place: but after a general survey uf the situation, and be coining somewhat acquainted, we were much pleased- quite willing, iudeed, to loc?te for tho winter. Aiken is situated on a broad plateau, al an alti? tude of six hundred feet obovc tide water. Thc surface ls white ..-'and on a rel clay bed. Thc place is regularly laid out with very broad streets and largo lots; so that the dwellings are som" distance from each other. In a large portion ol thc city almost the entire natural growth is leif standing, and thc ?tranger will often be surprised to lind a neat little cottage nestled down In a thicket of Jack oak. The water ls good, and b procured fruin wells, which are very deep. In tho principal streets they arc arranged at regnlat Intervals iu the middle of the street. The resident portion of the population is variously estimated at from two to three thonsand, a number of whom are Northorn men who came here some years ago in the most distressing condition, and, recovering their health, became attached to thc place and located permanently. There is little or no business done here, being only seven miles from Angosta. With an accom? modation train down in the morning aud return in the afternoon, persons can very conveniently do their trading there. Almost every house here is a boarding-house, and, strange to say, while flour, beef, chickens, cgss and bnttcr, can bc bought as cheap as in Richmond, the plainest boarding-house In this place will charge you more for board than the Spotswood or Exchange. And again, notwithstanding the fact that we have ex? press trains from Charleston every day, llsh and oysters are ns scarce as "lieus' teeth." The cures or advantage derived by consump? tives who have slopped herc are really remarka? ble. Numbers that on their arrival 'had to be carrleil to their rooms, in less than two weeks were able to walk a mile with ease. I am much improved. This bracing atmosphere, genial sun? shine, aud piney odor, tells rapidly on weak lungs. TUE DELIVERY OV LETTERS. Defects of thc Box System. The United States Mail ol* this month prints the following in reference to the delivery of let? ters by carriers: Wc arc very glad to see it (nnoilleially) an? nounced that Postmaster-General Creswell, in his forthcoming report, will take ground against the system of delivery of mail matter through boxes, and in favor of the adoption of thc carrier system at all offices where it can properly bc introduced which includes, of course, all the larger offices. Tlieri' can be no doubt in the mind of any one at all familiar, by experience, with thc subject, that Hie '-box system." as conducted ut the post othees tn our jrreat cities, ls one of the main ob? starles to the satisfactory performance of the functions of the deportment. It is easy enongh to set forth in editorial columns the "glittering generalities'' that "every merchant lias a right to have hts letters delivered in that mauner which best suits his convenience," ami that "the box system has been in usc for years, and ir those now rn authority aro not equal to the task of con? ducting it properly, they should give place to those who can," cc; but to those whssc eyes and ears are officially and practically made fa? miliar with the vexatious, complaints and licwil dering complications engendered by it, such su? perficial arguments in favor of the box system can have no more effect than so many assertions that four and live make eleven, or that two paral? lel hues, If only carried far enough, will eventu? ally iutcrscct each other. It is a task of no difficulty for an expert to de? tect the (laws in the reasonings of the theoretical upholders of the box system. One of the princi? pal ls that they are based upon the assumption that the box-holders are the "public," whereas, although numerous, they form really but a small portion of the public-and any claim on their be? half to peculiar and exclusive rights is untenable and absurd. Hut admitting, for the sake of argu? ment, that they have a right to be specially and primarily considered by the postoffiec in thc de? livery of their letters, let us give a few facts which cannot bc contradicted-illustrating thc evita which result from the system to the box holders themselves. Thc statements herc made arc the result of experience at one of the largest postoffices in the Union-say at New Amsterdam. There ls scarcely one box-holder who ls in the receipt of many letters, who does not almost daily receive through his box letters addressed to other box-holders, which have been placed therein by mistake. Of course his own letters run thc same risk of misdelivery. There ls not a newspaper of extended circula? tion the publisher of which does not fiud, nearly every day, among the letters delivered to him through his box, from one to six letters address? ed to thc publishers of ot her newspapers-some of lils own letters being in the same way delivered to them. There arc no two box-holding individuals or Hrms in the city of anything Uko a similar name, whose letters are not being perpetually "mixed up" by thc delivery of Hobbs' letters to Dobbs, ol* Barker's letter to Harker, of Henrickson's to Hen? derson, of J. T. Brown ft Sons to T. J. Brown ft Co., Ac. lt ls no un usai occurrence for a messenger, on presenting a ticket for the letters in one box. to be handed the entire contents of another, which bo may with impunity appropriate and open If so disposed-us he occasionally is. Scarcely a week passes without the detection nf a box-holder's messenger, in purloining the letters of his employer-who, with the touching couti leuce in Juvenile human nature character^ tie. nf hu ch?t, ha? ?wiorallv expressed hts wil? lingness to "trust that, boy with uncounted gold, sir,"'aud profanely condemned the post?nico as the cause of his repeated losses. There is hardly a publishing house of Importance in Hie city re? ferred to which has not sutfered in this way-thc largest of them to the extent of thousands of dol? lars through thc dishonesty of three of its mes? sengers, detected in succession. .funeral Notices.

CALL AT THE NEWS JOB OFFICK AND SEE SAMPLES. novio J?h WE LIVE IN THREE CLIMATES. In this country we have, at different seasons of the year, the temperature of three climates. Our springs and autumns have a softness and mild? ness that belong only to the Temperate Zones; our mid-summers are torrid, and our mid-winters almost arctic in their frigidity. These changes, involving a variation of from ninety to one hun? dred degrees of Fahrenheit during the year, are, upon the whole, conducive to health and long Ufo, but they tend to entail upon us some distressing complaints which can only be escaped by the ex? ercise of due care and the usc of a proper anti? dote when the system Ls predisposed to contract them. Thc chief and most annoying of these dis? orders ls dyspepsia, once supposed to be Incura? ble, but which, siucc the introduction of HOSTET TEE'S STOMACH BITTERS, now about twenty years ago, has proved to be a peifoctly managea? ble disease. In the spring and fall, but more especially la the fall, thc symtoms of dyspepsia arc generally aggravated. The profuse cxpendltnre of the ani? mal fluids ?'jo'nmdty' burning sun of summer, is upc to leam the stomach weak and Indolent and . Incompetent to thc task of perfect digestion. Ik requires a tonic which will rouse it from Its leth? argy and brace and invigorate without Irritating or mfiamiug it. This tonic has been provided ia the wonderful vegetable preparation which has replaced in a great measure, all the old palliatives formerly prescribed by physicians, under tho false idea that the disorder could not be radically cured. Thc success of HOSTFSTER'S BITTERS in all the varieties of dyspepsia, acute or chronic, has effectually exploded this fallacy, and lt Is now recommended as a speciflo for indigestion by some of the most eminent meir/cers of the medical. profession. nov22 OD*C . jar-TO CONSUMPTIVES. -THE AD YERTISER, having been restored to health In a few weeks, by a very simple remedy, after having suffered several years with a severe lung affec? tion, and that dreadful disease, consumption, far anxious to make known to,his feMow-sufferers the means of cure.
