BLUEBEARD PoIsoNED--A singular accident
happened last night to Mons. Aujac, the French
tenor, who sings the part Of Bluebcard at
Niblo's Garden. During the second and third
acts it was apparent to the audience that Mons.
Auiac was very i'll, and that it was with great
difficulty he managed to get through his part,
and his indisposiion was evidently getting
worse every moment At times he was scarce
ly able to stand. The interval between the
third and fourth acts was so long that the au-
dience became impatient. Mr.. Bateman ap-
peared and announced that as Mr. Aujac was
taken suddenly i'll it would be impossible to
perform any part Of the fourth act. Doctors
were speedily called in, who pronounced that
the tenor had been poisoned by the verdigris
which composed the coloring OF his blue beard,
some Of which he had swallowed, and that had
he been left without assistance a few moments
longer the case would have been fatal. Prompt
remedies were applied.-N. 7. Erening Nacs.

In speech delivered IN the " .. Oenate
in 1858, Mr.. James H. Hammond, then one
of the Senators from South Carolina, SAID
''You complain of the rule of the South;
that has been another cause that has preserved
you. We have kept the Government oonser-
vative to the great purposes OF Government. ,
We have placed it upon the Constitution; and
that has been the cause of your peace and pros
perity. The Senator from New York (Mr.
Seward) says that that is about to be at an end;
that you intend to take the Government from
US; that it will pass from our hands. Perhaps
what he says is true it may be; but do not for
get-it can never be forgotten it is written
on the brightest page of human history-that
we, Of the South, took our country in her in
fancy and, after ruling her for sixty out of the
seventy years of her existence, we shall surren-
der her to you without stain upon her honor,
boundless in prosperity, incalculable in her
strength, the wonder and the admiration Of the
world. Time will show what you will make OF
her; but no time can ever diminish our glory or
your responsibility"

There is probably, 10 man in the South more
obnoxious to the Southern white people, and
especially to those of his own State, than ex-
Gov. Joe Brown, Of Georgia. An original, fire
eating, blood and thunder secessionist, he
was, when the war came on, and the magnitude
Of the crisis apparent, and the danger immi-
nent, continually making difficulties, and, after
the war closed among the first to cave in, and
60 over, bag and baggage, to those whom he
had formerly denounced. He has since been
trying to hold office and obtain Office from the
Radicals, and was a candidate for election as
u. S. Senator from Georgia. Hewas defeated.
The Macon Georgia Messenger says: ''We
have never known any result to be hailed with
such hearty and universal acclaim of JOY, by
all classes of honest men in this section, as the
defeat of Joe Brown. Men meet each other
with hearty hand shake, and the ejaculation,
"Isn't it glorious ?"

TIE WH1sKEY MARKET.-Th Richmond
correspondent Of The Petersburg Index, writes
as follows:
''Undcr the effects OF the new tax bill the
whiskey market here, and in Northern and
Western cities, has become decidedly shaIy
and unsettled. Nearly all of the distillcricS
throughout the county have stopped work In
consequence, until they can sec little farther
ahead have talked with several gentlemen
who thoroughly understand the operations Of
the new law, and it is their opinion that the
price will not fall great deal for some time to
come-although the reduction Of the tax
amounts to no less than $l.4O on the gallon
this is their opinion J. say, but many dealers
say that it will come down tremendously, and
therefore hesitate to make any large purchases,
until they are certain as to the elects OF the
new bill. Before the passage OF the blll-Whl!e
the tax was 81 per gal0n-whlskey was openly
sold in this market for $l.2O. If the new law
is stringently carried out, as 1t Is expected and
promised, and the tax OF sixty cents per gallon
well collected, it can be sold no cheaper, be-
cause, as was testified in the recent WhlSkcy
fraud cases here, it costs the manufacturer
from d to $50. per gallon to make it. In
New York an ordinary article is worth now
from IS to GOc. in bond, by the latest quota
tons. There, the large distiIlcrs and sDccuIa-
tors are greatly interested in keeping the prices
up-until they have disposed OF whatever
stock they may have on hand at as small loss
as possible. No doubt means will eventually
be found to evade, in some measure, the pay
ment of even the Coz tax; then Whskey will
become cheap. As | said in the recent trial
of the whiskey ring. here experts testified that
the cost per gallon OF manufacturing whlske3y
amounted to from 45 to 55c. ior an article
which in former days was sold to the people at
from % to zoe per gallon, by the single barrel. J."

We have received pamphlet containing an

large and valuable an estate as Gen. Washing
ton possessed, was distributed by his will among
many legatees, yet no one dispute sufficient to
cause litigation ever rose in relation to the
property. The Arlington estate, seized by the
