Mr. Corbett, Beading Clerk, obtained leave of absence. Message No. 20 from the Governor was received. The message related to Execu? tive business. The Committee on Railroads, to whom waa referred the memorial of the Charleston Board of Trade, and the petition of the citizens of Charleston relative to tho ro bailding and completion of tho Savannah and Charleston Bailroad, reported back tho same, with a recommendation that the prayers of tho petitioners and memorialists be granted. Agreed to. The Committee on the Military, to whom was recommitted a bill to organize and go? vern the militia of South Carolina, with in? structions, reported back the same, with a recommendation that tho bill do pass, with amendments. Mr. Jillson introduced a resolution, which was adopted, that tho trite old maxim, "time is money," is aa true now as it ever was; and whereas, Senators on this floor have repeatedly and strenuously advocated the doctrine of n vigilant and fostering caro over the interests of tho State's exchequer, and have frequently urged tho practice ol principles of economy in tho uso of tho State's time, as well as tho State's money; and whereas, said Senators have often chanted mournful tl ronodies over said time and money squandered and lost; that dur? ing the remainder of this session, no Sena? tor shall speak moro than ten minutes al any one time without special permission ol the Senate. Bills to incorporate the Macedonian Hap tint Church, of South Carolina, and to re new and continue iu force an Act en titlet "An Act to authorize limited townships,' received first reading. The committee substitute for a bill to en able tho Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company to complete their road, was dis cussed and amended. A joint resolution authorizing the Govern or to employ an armed force for the pro scrvation of the peace, was discussed. After routine business and Executive ses sion, adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESEN TATIVES. Tho House met at 12 M. The petition of tho President and corpa rators of the Middle Saluda or Jones Gti] Road, for re charter, was referred. George M. Wells, member elect fror Beaufort, appeared and qualified. A Senate bill to alter au amend thecritni nal law, being tho unfinished business c yesterday at tho hour of adjournment, wn taken up, and discussed in tho Oommitte of the Whole. The following lamed members obtaiue leave of absence-Moore, Gardner, Whiti Bryant. At 3 p. m., the House adjourned uut Monday next, at 10 o'clock a. m. -o THE CHARLESTON MANDAMUS.-In th Supremo Court, Mr. Corbin made a motioi that the acting Board of Aldermen c Chu.L.,ton be attached for contempt, unie: they make retnrn on or before tho 28th ii stain, in compliance with orders of the Si preme Court in mandamus writ. Gener James Connor, on behalf of contestants, ab resisted the motion, and Messrs. Corbin at: Chamberlain advocated the motion on b half of claimants. After hearing the argi mont the Court ruled that the return w; sufficient in law, and equivalent to a decln ation by the acting Board of Aldermen th Pillsbury and his ticket of Aldermen we daly elected Mayor and Aldermen of the ci of Charleston. The counsel for cl ni man expressed satisfaction with the Court's d cisi?n, and stated that tho motion was mac with the view of testing the sufficiency the declaration by tbo acting Board of Aide men, deeming it necessary to placo them position to assert the right to the offices fi Pillsbury and his Board of Aldermen 1 means of a rjuo xearranto. ---o It is reported that the sam asked by tl new Spanish Government for the island Cuba is about $25,000,000 in gold. Tl letter received by the President from S nator Hale, at Madrid, it is said, states th overtures wore made to him by the fclpani Government for tho sale cf the island to t United States. A REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DEATH BY CANINE INSTINCT OR SAGACITY.-Aa Mr. Syl vcstor Scribner, of Salisbury, N. H., was on his way homo with his horso and team, on the 31st ult., ho observed his dog stand? ing every few seconds on his hind legs, looking intently toward the forest, aud ut? tering occasionally a low cry. The behavior of tho animal was so singular that Mr. Scribner stopped his team, and, upon lis? tening, heard a faint sound, but whether animal or human ho could not tell. Pro? ceeding in tho direction of thc sound-to the manifest delight of his dog, who ran on before him, over und nuon lookiug to seo if his master was following-Mr. Scribner soon discovered ono of his nearest neighbors, (Mr. Robert I. Batchelder,) crushed under] I a largo ash tree, which he had been f elli nt?. Mr. Batchelder's thigh was broken, and he was otherwise so much injured that it is believed he could not have lived another hour had not succor arrived; and for this | he was directly indebted to his neighbor's sagacious dog. Mr. Scribner rescued the injured mau from his perilous Bitnation, took him home, and he is now recovering.! | [New York Times. -o How AN ALABAMA PLANTER SAVED HIS I COTTON.-An intelligent planter in Alabama [ entirely escaped the ravages of the cater? pillar last year, although it destroyed thc cotton upon every other plantation in his County. His crop was the finest he over ] raised. Thc caterpillar rame up to the fields of his next door neighbors, but they did not cross his fences. The reason of this was, he issued tho sternest orders that not a single bird, except the jay, should bo killed upon his plantation, under any pretext whatever. He allowed littlt? willow groves to grow in his fields, and to them ho sent a sack of oats every morning, which were j scattered upon the ground. The birds fed upon tlie oats and swarmed in thousands around his fields. They exterminated the cotton fly. And hence, there were no eggs, there were no caterpillars, there were no larva?, but there was a blooming garden in the midst of a blighted wilderness. There j is no evil without its remedy-there is no disease without a cure.-Macon Telegraph. Something at least has been done to reme? dy the franking scandal. The Honse yes? terday passed Mr. Farnsworth's bill, prohi? biting members of Congress and others entitled to thc franking privilege from exer? cising said privilege otherwise than by his or her written autograph signature upon tho matter franked. This does away with the business of stamping franks by machinery, which has recently been indulged in to such a large extent. It is hoped that the Senate will act favorably on this bill, and wo are quite certain Mr. Johnson will not veto it. What there is left of the white publie should be everlastingly thankful that tho miscegenation crop is not long lived. If it were, there would be an aspect of jaundice throughout the entire land in another live or six years. They have been becoming "one flesh" so rapidly in Cleveland, says Pomcroy's Democrat, that tiwi papers are alarmed on the question of the probable complexion of tho entire State of Ohio.

Address HOWARD ASSOCIATION, Box I*., Philadelphia, Pa. Jan 20 3mo TUB MACHINE:, CALLED MAN, IS A very complicated and delicate one, and is more liable to get out of order, and much more difficult to repair, than any combination of wheels, and cranks, und levers, made by the hands of man. As a ride, it is tinkered too much, and badly tinker? ed at that. It is often calomelized, narcotized, depleted, and otherwise misused, when all that it roally needs is a wholesome tonic and restorative like HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS to pat it in proper trim and keepit so. Tho stomach is shamefully maltreated. In tho first place, the food, which its juices are intended to dissolve, is too frequently thrown into it hastily, and in a half masticated condition, in which state the gas? tric acid cannot properly act upon it. Tho result is DYSPEPSIA. Then comes tho doctor, and, find? ing thc digestive organs weak and tho bowels inert, he proceeds to weaken and paralyze still more with drastic purgatives. These failing-as they always do-to produce a salutary change, ho tells tho invalid that medical science can do no moro for him. This, with all due deference, is a mistake-ono of those mistakes which Talleyrand said were tantamount to crimes. What tho dys? peptic nooda is invigoration. Strengthen the stomach with Hostetter's Bitters, and the stomach will strengthen every other part of the human machine, and make it, in common parlance, as good as new. Upon tho state of the digestion de? pends, in a measure, the condition of thc whole system. Now, the Bitters arc the most admir? able tonic known They consist of thc finest vegetable invigorants and resterai ives, combined with an unadulterated stimulant. The dyspeptic needs nothing else to effect a cure, except a light, nutritions diet, and a fair amount ol exercise, ?"ven in tito absence of these last mentioned a iccssories, tho tonic and alterative properties of j the preparation will work wonders, enabling the 1 dyspeptic to digest inferior fare with comparative eise, and to maintain a good habit of body, in spite of the drawbacks ot a sedentary occupation.
