CHANTS OF SAVANNAH.-Day before yesterday the Savannah'community was more than shocked, lt waa actually fermented, by the discovery or im? mense forgeries on the part of Messrs. Epstein & Einstein, a weU established dry goods firm, carry? ing on business at No. 140 Congress street. As soon aa the forgeries became known Epstein fled, tut Bn?teta was arrested and gave ball in the eum ur $8000; but he denies any knowledge or the forgeries. When Einstein was arrested the goods er the Arm were levied apon. The stock though large, ls not sufficient to cover the losses, which it ls believed, win amount to almost $70,ooo. However, losses footing up over $40,000 have been discovered. Parties who seem to know, ?tale that this system of forging on the part or Epstein has been going on for a year or more, his plan ha vic g been to pay his obligations promptly, ?, oath payment running bim, however, still deeper ? into the slough of defalcation and consequent ruin. It Ls believed that most of the money was lost at the* gaming table. The whereabouts of Epstein 'j not known, bat many believe that he. ls still In Savannah. _ FOSSILS AND THEIR USES.-The large - num twr of valuable fossil bones, besides fossils of other kinCLJ, dug out every day from the phosphate mines of South Carolina, ought as raras practica? ble to be deposited In the museum of the Charles? ton College, the only museum of natural history in the Stat". Many specimens are given away which are of gt ea' scientific value, and unless the rosella are sent liberally and regularly to the ma? scara, that Institution has no means of exchang? ing tb em for the fossils or minerals of other coun? tries. It ls desirable, of course, that the fossils from the phosphate beds should be round In every public and private collection, But we ought to have something luvtet urn, and the Charleston Musette can obtain many choice specimens if it be made the agency for exchanging and distribut? ing the South Carolina fossils. The presidents or the various phosphate companies are therefore asked to ass Lat In securing these fossils for the museum. A special room ls devoted to their re? ception, and they cannot come In quantities larger than will bo received. With every speci? men or ooUeotlon of specimens there should be a written memorandum, containing the name of the locality froawhich it was exhumed, and the donor's name IriTuLi. These nantes wUl be pre? served with greatacare at the museum, not mere? ly as a mark or respect to the donor, bat also be? cause ouch memoranda constitute a large part of tiff real value of the specimens, tn. a scientific point of view.

The court held, (Justice Willard dlssentlag,) that on the state cqptof the plaintiff he had no cause of action; lt made no difference at what stage of the case the Judge below ordered a non-suit, and his inter? position stated In the brief did not prejudice the plaintiff.

The dust raised by the cars is a nuisance to the householders on Rutledge street ind Rutledge avenue, and, to our knowledge prevents many persons from riding In the cars at ill. At times the cars are filled with a cloud of Inst so thick that the panting passengers can hardly see from one door to the other, and the company owe lt to the public, lt seems to us, to make travel on their, line more pleasant than a lying trip across an African desert: CHARLESTON, May 17, 1870. To the President and Directors of the City Batu way Company: GENTLEMEN--We beg most respectfully to call four prompt attention to a nuisance existing on rou r line or road through Rutledge street and Rut edge avenue to Line street, causea by the Immense :louds of dust arising from the constant travel of cars over the tracks of the road, thereby not >nly being a great source of annoyance and dis . x>mfort to the patrons of the read, but also very letrlmental to the property or those who are rest lent along the line. It ls in the power or the company to obviate his nuisance, by having the spaces between the racks watered, (as ls successfully done at Savan ?ah and other places.) at a trifling expense to the lompany, by fitting up a tank on the truck used >y you for the transportation of grain, Ac, (which tan be supplied with salt water rrom Bennett's >oad.) We trust that you will give this matter rour earliest attention, and thereby relieve us rom a nuisance that is becoming, day by day, nore intolerable, and which tends not only to iepreciate the value ot property on that portion >r your line or road, but also prevents comrorta - )le and convenient travel, and thus diminishes ,he receipts or the road. This can be done by you at little cost, and will ?es ult in mutual advantage to those who own and ;hose who use the road. * Very respectfully, Robt. Chisolm, Jr., Alex. Macbeth, R.

DAY.-Dollar stores and fifty cent'storeB have been the rage at the North, and are now making a sensation In our good old town: but Mr. F. von Santen, next door to the Academy of Music, has devised a novelty In this Une never known else? where, and calculated not only to be a great sen? sation, but also a great convenience. From bis very extensive stock of toys and fancy goods he has made a judicious selection of articles valued variously at $1, 50 cents, 25 cents and io cents, and arranged them in separate departments ac? cording to price, so that purchasers can see what suits their pockets, without the unpleasantness of asking the price of a clerk and finding it more than they care to spend. The articles thus ar? ranged consist or many things useful and orna? mental, which will compare in value and in price wtthnhe stock of the best retail fancy goods es? tablishment in New York. To-day the show is very materially increased by a fresh importation or goodB Just received and now opened for the first time. Many of the fancy articles are of un? usual beauty and attractiveness, and no one who has a present to make, or a house to adorn, or a child to please, should fail to pay a visit to-day to Von Santen's Bazaar, and see for themselves at what marvellously low figures they can gratify a refined and even fastidious taste in such matters. The various departments will be exhibited to all visitors, without charge, by polite and attentive clerks, and aspare hour cannot be more pleasant? ly or profitably employed than by availing oneself of this invitation. _ CHOICE IMPORTED DROOS.-Dr. G.

That any sick maa survived the treatment or fifty yearn ago, must be considered a proof that human beings are veer hard to kill The lancet, calomel, cantharides and drastic pur? gatives were then the order er the day. The phy Blclan played into the hands or the apothecary, and the unfortunate patient was drenahed morn? ing, noon and night with prostrating medicines. We live in a more rational and conscientious era. The importance ol supporting Nature, In its conflict with disease is now understood. Complaints in themselves weakening are no longer aggravated by artificial depletion. They are met with TONICS that rally the vital powers and enable them to de? feat the enemy. Chief among these allies of Na? ture, in its battles with sickness, ls PLANTATION BITTERS. This wonderful vegetable restorative ls the sheet anchor or the feeble and debilitated. As a cordial for the aged and decrepid it has no equal among stomachics. As a remedy ror the nervous weakness to which the tender sex are especially subject, it is superseding every other stimulant and nervine. In all climates, tropical, temperate or frigid, lt acts as a specific In every species of disorder Which undermines the bodily strength and breaks down the animal spirits. Wherever lt is introduced rt becomes a standard article -a medicinal staple. Druggists, although their profit upon lt ls small, find lt absolutely necessary to keep a preparation for which everybody Inquires, and ror which nobody will] accept a substitute, rt ls to-day the most popular medicine la the .iviilzed world. Extensively as it ls advertised, Its beat ad? vertisement ls the beneficial reauK which uniformly follews Its use. Every bottle sold In? sures the sale of at least half a dozen more. Un? like other stimulants, it braces and fortifies the system without exciting undue cerebral action, The cheering effect which lt produces upon the i mind ls not momentary, bat permanent. There ls no subsequent depression. It does net, as ls the case with all other stimuli, beget a craving for ex .itants. On the other hand, it soothes and calms the nerves.comblnlng.strange as the anomaly may seem, thequallties of a sedative and gentle ano, dyne with those of a tonic and Invigoraat. The perfect purity of all its Ingredients, their admirable adaptation to the purposes .they are Intended tojsubserve, the judicious pro? portions la which they are combined, and the scientific skill with which, they are blend? ed, render this famous article at once the most potent and the most harmless of ail known tonics and alteratives, said by au Druggists. aprtT \ Auction Soles-(Erjis marj.
