Newspaper Page Text(fftoitfeg Jlispatcji. AUGUSTA GA: Thursday Evening, Way 6,1858. Wm. Randolph Barbee, the Artist. Wo, last week, promised onr readers a biographical sketch of this talented Ar tist, the author of that exquisite piece es sculpture—the Coquette— recently on exhibition in this city. At that time we hoped the work would remain du ling the entire week, that our people Xttihgt have an opportunity to attest the truth of the warm endorsement extend ed it by the press and art-critics whom ever it has been exhibited. Though it has gone from onr city, we have no apology to offer for presenting the promised sketch now, believing, as we do, that the day is not distant, when the name of War. Randolph Babble will have universally accorded it a high place in the record of American genius, and when even crude notices like ours, will be appreciated as but just « tributes to the struggling pilgrims who l< have carved their names high on the w scroll of fame. P We do not endorse the popular cus- * tom of withholding the meed of praise from living worth, while graves are lit- * terally covered with fulsome eulogies. ' Tr ti would do justice to genius while it m »> - ’ "'eorous, that it may he is living anu - useful, be- j 0 more appreciated and mor» ~ i fore death or superanuation consign ns |ca influence to tile rusty casket of meih- Ml Off- . n 0 Wm. Randolph Babble was born in cn Rapahannock county, Virginia, in the al ' year 1828. His father was a farmer, cu and the boyhood of om Artist was spent at his mountain home in the midst of the wild scenery of the Blu» Ridge chain —a region calculated to develope a love for the beautiful and pure—germs las of which were strongly indicated in his d® early years. K: The first evidence of his art-procliv- S p ities were exhibited in his fondness for ch whittling images from a soap-stone j quarry on his father's farm. w< This quarry was a constant stumbling block and rock of offence in the way of his e t< studies at school and his duties at home, m In school he devoted more time to fan cy sketches,than to books, and so weari tome did school become, at an early pt age our sculptor was put into a store with a brother. Manifestingas little ge- R nius for the “ tricks of trade” as he had h; for books, he was soon removed to a 01 tannery carried on by his father. But this occupation was as ill-suited to his [{ genius as the others, and he was next plaeed in. a course of study for the pro- q ffc'sion of law. He received his diplo- g ma from the law class of Richmond Col- _ lege, and Entered upon his profession n in his native district, making his dehut ti before he was of age. He was popular p and sueccsful in this profession, and his f, future was full of promise. About this g time he married and settled in a cot- j tage home, three miles from Lnra,Page 0 county, Virginia. This retreat was soon ; adorned with evidences of the beauty loving genius of its occupant, and ; “ bloomed like a villa garden in the wilderness ” under the development of the Artist-mind of the young husband and his lovely companion. At length his love for art, which had occupied so much of his idle hours, became his rul ing passion, and after devoting months to amateur efforts at statuary, he be came so much absorbed in it, as to abandon himself almost entirely to its pursuit. In the spring of 1852, he had just finished a marble Psyche, and a plaster Venus, which was tlie crowning incident that finally induced the ap peals of his friends for him to devote himself to the study of Art. Accordingly, he embarked for Italy in the month of September, 1852, and proceeded at once to Rome, where he spent some time among the works of the old masters. From thence he visit ed Naples, and finally Florence, when he entered at once upon the work which resulted in the sublime embodi ment of the Coquette. This he accom plished without any technical instruc tion or details, but such as he had de rived from his amateur investigations. After many hindrances, occasioued by sickness and domestic afflictions that called him once or twice back to home, he completed the Coquette, and embarked from Florence in October 1856. The Coquette soon followed him,and was exhibited in the towns and cities of bis native State,and is now on its South ern tour, although earnestly solicited to exhibit it first in the Northern cities. Mr Babble has in progress other works of move complexity and symbolic variety than any previously attempted. Among these we have seen views of the 11 Union and the ‘ ‘ Young Republican' ’ which are to be pxecuted in American j marble, and with the Coquette, which is j Strictly a national piece, will constitute the nucleus around which the author proposes to gather an American School of Art in Sculpture. Surely the Ameri can people, and especially those of his aativo region,will evince a becoming ap preciation of so noble a purpose, espe . -chilly when in doing so they gratify a love for the beautiful- the handmaid of virtue—which has been held so much in abeyance to the money getting as pirations of the times. Hon. Edward Everett. The following, from the Atlanta In lelligencer, meets our views so perfectly hat we transfer it to our editorial col umn, without comment: “We have no' participated in the disparaging notice? which have occasionallyappeared in tht Athens Banner , Columbus Sun, and one or two other papers, in regard to this distinguished orator. We do not ad mire that course of treatment towards a man, who, whatever may *be his differences with us politically, is ac knowledged the world over, to be an honor to the human race—a man of high and noble qualities, and extensive attainments. Such puerile flingß as have been made by such journals, arc only calculated to belittle them. If Mr. Everett comes among us clothed with the functions of a missionary—in be half of the noble cause to which the women of ouijland are dedicating them selves—we hardly think it becoming that we should view him with a bigot’s eye, and search into his antecedents for some political act that does not meet our approbation. We should rather re ceive him as a gifted intellect, endowed with rare oratorical genius, and of learning unquestioned—one from whom we may gather lessons of wisdom, and profit from his intercourse with us. — Though politically, we may be wide as the poles asunder, we see no reason why we may not esteem him as a pure noble minded statesman, whose qualities of head and heart entitle him to the ad miration of his countrymen: The Charleston Courier offers a defence to some points in Mr. Evebexx's politi- I cal careef, If IllCil we consider superfluous. Ml.EvEP.rr, w.- is tOUr isa pest-and not a candidate on trial, with grave charges against him. We consider it almost as discourteous, under these cir cumstances, to attempt to defend him as to assail him, and shall join in nei ther course." The Last of Kansas. We have heard, thank Heaven, the last of Kansas. Congress has finally done with Kansas. The newspapers are uttering their last dying words on Kansas. Hundreds of thousands of speeches and millions of editorial arti cles have been written on Kansas, but even Kansas is not immortal. All earth ly things must pass away, the false as well as the genuine, humbug and reali ty, the rouge of the ball room bell, and the rose on rustic beauty’s cheek : the eternal hills must disappear, and so must Kansas. Yes, thank Heaven, Kansas is ended. No more orators shall be born of it; no more political combinations and speculations, no niore party disintegrations and exfoliations ; no more furious fights of border ruffians, no more bloody noses in the House of Representatives. Kansas is dead. It has no mourners ; no one wants to hear of it again ; no one preaches its funeral j sermon ; canticles of joy are ail we ha.ve to offer over the hearse of Kansas Richmond Dispatch. Not so fast, namesake—not so ( _ast. — ft is over-true that Congress made Kansas the harp of a thousand strings, g< —politicians have played upon it— " newspapers have its uncer tain sounds, hut like a cracked fiddle, it promises yet to be a favorite heirloom for supevanuated politicians and dema- j. gogues for some time come. Theppeao a t; pie of Kansas have now taken it in hand, 1 and there is no telling the amount of I music they may yet extract from it. — There is no telling but they may send it back to Congress where we shall ' have “that same old tune” over again with the variations. In spite of the j patriotic efforts of Congress, and tire politicians, and the people, Kansas still lives. Let us not bury the poor crea- £ ture alive. £ 1 Tobacco. \Ve find the following statistics of the ] production of tobacco, throughout the ( world, in the Richmond South : Asia 399,(100,000 pounds.

Express. A Tale of Terror. The following rather marvellous story is told by one of the Vienna journals: —As a farmer of Orsinovi, near that j city, was a few nights ago returning home from market, he stopped at a | roadside public house, and imprudently j showed the innkeeper a large sum which j he had received. In the night the inn keeper, armed with a poignard, stole into the farmer’s chamber ,and prepared to stab him; but the farmer, who, from the man’s manner, at supper, con ceived suspicions of foul play, had thrown himself, fully dressed, on the bed, without going to sleep, and being a powerful man, he wrested the poig nard from the other, and using it against, him, laid him dead at his feet. A few J moments after, he heard stones thrown j at the window, and a voice, which he recognized as that of the innkeeper's ■ son, said : “ The grave is ready !” This proved to him that the father and son | liad planned his murder, and to avoid \ detection, had intended burying the dead body at once. He thereupon wrap- i ped the dead body in a sheet, and let it 1 down from the window ; he then ran to the gendarmerie and stated what had occurred. Three gendermerie immed iat ly accompanied him tojthe house, and found the young man busily en gaged in shovelling earth "into the grave. “ What are you burying?’ said' they. “ Only a horse, which has just died 1’ ‘ You are mistaken,’ answered one of them, jumping into the grave and raising the corpse. ‘ Look !’ and he held up a lantern to the face of the de ; ceased. “Good God!” cried the young man, thunderstruck, “it is my father!” He was then arrested, and at once con fessed all.

MOUSE’S INVIGORATING COR -1 DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach * has lost the power of duly converting food into a s life-sustainiDg element, is relieved by a single x course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to 1 the sufferer, while his digestive organization was S paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the - wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-dolorcux 1 or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with 1 paralysis, i borne down and dispirited by that terrible lassitude which proceeds from a luck of nervous energy, or experiencing any oilier pain or disability arising from the u unatural condition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev- . ery member with the source of sensation, mo . tion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of this Cordial, which atoncecalms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it are*unanimo js in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the hards of j medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. . While it renews the strength of the digostive £ powers it creates a desire for the solid material t which is to be subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. If long file and the vigor necessary to its on- : joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of J precious worth Its beneficial effects arc not confined to either sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn j litai; of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general dc 1 bility or from the weakness of a single organ ‘ will al 1 find immediate and permanent relief from ( the use of this incomparable renovator. To 1 those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete aud unfailing safe guard ' against that terrible milady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- < tion that they think themselves beyond the reach of medicine. Let not even those despair.

It is more simple and easier kept in order than any other Machine. 2d. It makes a senm which will not rip or ' ravel, though every third stitch is cut. 3d. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus all trouble of winding thread is avoided, while the same machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a mere change of spool , to all varieties of work. 4th. The same machine runs silk, linen thread, and common spool cotton with equal facility. sth. The seam is as elastic as tiie most elastic fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break in washing, ironing, or otherwise. Gtb. The stitch made by this machine is morel beautiful than any other made, either by hand or machine. Merchants can secure the sales of these Ma chines in their different localities, with profit to themselves and their customers, bv applying to the undersigned, owners or the Right for Georgia. These machines are always on exhibition at their Sales Room, on Broad street my 4 THOS. P. STOVALL & CO. Just Received from Pliila.
