The whole iteelfupon the Lecompton issue and the the Democracy only {secoree the ‘ Republicans. There was no American pany the State. m m Georgia-A Compliment. The question of Universiiy and Common Schoo education (snow engage tho attention of the !oople of Georgia. It has called into requisition the talents of Cobb, and the ability ol the news paper press. That, the subject is worthy the con sideration of an enligtened people none will gain gav-that it may meet with success we may be permitted to hope. In the New Orleavs Com mercial Bulletin, we find an editorial from which we extract the following compliment to Georgia in connection with this great enterprise : “Georgia has received the proud appellation ol the “Empire State of the South,” and appears de termined to be worthy of it. In manufactures, railroads and other kinds of home industry, she has set an example well worthy of being followed by her sister States of the South. Much of her territory is barren, and yet we are not certain af ter all, that this will not ultimately turn out a blessing rather than an evil; for has not experi ence proved that where nature does everything for a people, they will do nothing, or very little, lor themselves ? Place a man upon a sterile soil, and necessity compels him to exert himself to obtain a living, and in the exercise of his wit and his industry for this purpose primarily, he will soon hit upon agencies by accident or otherwise, that will convert his barren acres into sources of wealth, luxuries and all the refinements of life.— The sterile, under the magic wand of industry di rected by intelligence, becomes fruitful; streams irrigate arid wastes, and flowers shed over them the beautf of their perpetual fragrance. Somewhat of these results has already obtained in Georgia. Her people are a very practical pea pie ; they put their hands to the plow, to the loom to the anvil, to the mill stone ; they put into prac tical operation the machinery and the appliances whereby this Southern poverty may be replaced with wealth, and this weakness with power. There is common sense, sterling common sense in all that, and we should like to witness the exhi bition of something, or somewhat more, of this spirit of resolute independence and indomitable energy in certain other localities that might be mentioned, not excepting a certain saccharine re - gion sometimes yclept the ol the Union. It is our true policy and the only policy that will enable us to cope successfully with our neighbors. Unless we adopt it, and carry it out with unflagging vigor, we shall find ourselves left laggards laf in the rear of our more stirring rivals. We cannot depend exclusively on our position and the richhess of our soil. There is requisite the genius of the cunning hand and the intellect to de velope their advantages, to draw from them the in exhaustible magazines of wealth which they are ready to yield.” Yellow Fever- This disease stfll lingers in a few of our South ern cities. In Savannah the deaths average from turn to three a day. In Mobile three to four. In Charleston, the fever is on the decline, and las 1 week’s mortality shows that there were only about fifty deaths for the week. In Galveston the weath er was warm at our last dates (Oct. sth.) and the fever was on the increase. ‘There were eight or ten interments a day. In New Orleans, the fever is also on the increase, and the interments equal those of September. Last week’s report shows that the disease increased 2? over the previous week. The number of interments is about fifty a day. The following is the report of Charity Hospital for the week endihg Friday, Oct. Bth, 6 o’clock: Admitted (all diseases) 331 Discharged (111 of yellow fever) 212 Died (112 of yellow fever) 122 Remaining (all discards) 659 Yellow’Fever—The New Orleans Board of Health reports 64 deaths by Yellow Fever in that city, lor the twenty four hours ending at noon on Saturday the 9th iust. This was an increase of eight on the previous day’s report Mortality in Savannah. Savannah, Oct 12,—There were, during the past two days, eleven interments in this city —six of which were caused by yellow fever. During the week there were 32 interments, of which fifteen were caused by yellow fever. Monsieur Belly. The New York Herald copies from the Hispano Americano, a European journal devoted to the interests of the republics of Central America, an important article on the subject of the Belly ca nal project in Nicaragua. M. Belly had an inter view with Prince Napoleon in Paris on the 31st of August, when he was complimented on the results of his mission, and he hoped for a similar reception from the Emperor on his return from Biarritz. The French politicians and savans have ranked M. Belly with Saiad Pasha an ! M. F. Lesseps, as a great projector of canal civilization. They assert that he will soon return under cover of the naval flag of France, in order to commence work in Nicaragua under the Martinez and Mora charters: but the writer adds the important pro viso ol “if the United States do not prevent it, ’ which consideration makes a serious alteration m the aspect of the affair. Muscogee Railroad. The operations of this Company for the month of September last show the handsome result of $19,706.74. The gross receipts for the corres ponding month were $12,293,20. The excess for this year $7,413.26. For the first ten days of the present month the receipts were 7,526,- 51; for the same period in Oat. 1857, $5,015 66. Increase this year $2,510.85. This is certainly a fair showing for the commencement of the win ter’s- business. If the cotton should contiaue to come in without abatement of quantity, as there is now a great probability that it will, for the next three or four months, the receipts of the road will be greatly in advance of any previous season since its construction. There is no better eight per cent, stock in the State, and capitalists will not be slow to find it out. There is not a dollars worth of the stock upon the market and holders in this sec tion have so much confidence in the profitableness of their investment that they consider a sale, at a lower figure than our best Railroad Stocks are ab'e to command, a sacrifice. Notwithstanding the business of the road has been increased to such an extent, the expenses have been, in almost a cor responding ratio, diminished, and it is now opera ted upon a system of the most rigid economy practicable. We have every confidence that the present guardians of it? interest will give a perma nence to this principle which shall be illustrated in punctual and remunerative dividends. Hon- Henry G. Lamar- This old democratic hero is a candidate for re election to the office of Judge of the Macon Cir cuit. He is well known to the citizens of this State, having early won a character for honesty, integrity and ability, which has followed him to this period of his life. A a ide Irom his political reputation, which is dear to the democracy of Georgia, he has discharged the duties ol the Judgeship of the Macon Circuit with a fidelity which will overcome all opposition to his re-elec tion—or insure him a triumphant victory if op posed. He is thus alluded to by the Grand Jury of Macon county at the last Superior Court. “In taking leave ofhis Honor, Henry G. Lamar, wo tender him our grateful thanks for the ability, zeal, courtesy end impartial discharge of the du ties of his office during the present Term ol this Court. We hope the office he now holds may ever be filled by a man so competent and impar tial.” The Elections. The election iu Indiana, Pennsylvanian and a few other ..States are now over. We shall 6oon know the result and will lay before our readers the latest telegraphic dispatches with which we are supplied daily. The fortunes of Hon. Stephen A, Douglas too will soon be determined. In the meantime will not democrats learn a lesson from thesilenceof the opposition press towards Mr. Crittenden. They care not a whit it he stands with Mr. Douglas, he is still “incorruptible,” albeit the democracy aid the Black Republicans il they oppose Douglas and are demoralized if they sup port him. Let us then cease our bickerings over the policy to be pursued towards a recreant leader and fight the opposition who are using tact, in genuity and skill to get position. Elections on Tuesday—On Tuesday, the 12th, elections took place in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi ana, lowa, South Carolina, and Minnesota, the results of which will do much to determine the character of the next Congress. None of these States have Senators in Congress to elect except Minnesota. In the present House of Representa tives there are from Pennsylvania fifteen Demo crats and ten Republicans ; in Ohio, nine Demo crats and twelve Republicans , in Indiana six Democrats and five Republicans; in lowa, two Republicans ; in Minnesota, two Democrats. To tal, thirty-two Democrats and twenty-nine Re publicans. fe a very nice, genteel young lady in Peoria, Illinois, who in twenty-one years has been married three times. On each occasion of her marriage she was united to a man younger than herself, and the last time to one twenty three years her junior. She lived happy with the first, unhappy with the second, but prefers the last.— At the age of twenty she was wedded to a man aged nineteen, with whom she lived about six years. At the age of thirty she married a man of twenty, with whom she lived only two years.— After a lapse of nearly niue years of “siogle bless edness ”at the end of which lime she was forty one years old, she married again, and, in this in stance, capped the climax, the man she married being only eighteen years old, her present hus band, with whom she has lived very happily for two years. If he is a considerate young man he will die soon and give the widow a chance to look up somebody el se. Why the Austria was Burned so Quickly. —lt is suggested by the Now York Tribune that the excess, rather than a lack of water, occasion ed the rapid spread of the flames on the Steamer Austria. The burning tar, instead of being ex tinguished by the buckets full of wafer thrown upon it, floated upon the surface to all parts of the vessel. American Interests in China and Japan. Washington, Oct. 7. —Mr. Reed, Minis ter to China, says in his official despatches receieed to-day, that after he signed the Treaty he made a provisional arrrangement with the Commissioner for the adjustment of the claims of American citizens arising out of the difficulties ?t Canton, by which portions of the duties at Shanghae, Fuh Chu and Canton, are to be appropriated to that end. He intended to visit during the sum mer months such of the ports of Japan as might be! accessible and return to the United States by way of Bombay in No vember or December next. Commodore Tatnall, in his official de spatches to the Secretary of the Navy, da ted July sth, after saying that the entire East India Squadron would soon be shown to the Japanese, remarks, that no better op portunity could be selected for a temporary absence from the coast of China, as the recent treaties and termination of hostili ties together with the swarms of English and French ships of war in the rivers, must place all the foreign interests of lawful kind in perfect safety for the present. He would return with the squadron to the coast of Chi na about the last of October. Railroad Meeting. — A Railroad meet ing was held in Thumasville on Tuesday last, in pursuance of previous notice, and the sum of twenty odd thousand dollars subscribed to the Southern Georgia and Florida Railroad, for the purpose of organi zing the Company, surveying and putting under contract the first section of ten miles. Twenty-seven thousand dollars had been previously subscribed, and the whole amounting to between forty and fifty thou sand dollars, or nearly the amount requir ed by the charter for organizing the Com pany. A committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions, and we understand their efforts in several instances were very suc cessful. The proceedings of the meeting have not been furnished us, and therefore not pub™ lished ; but we feel perfectly safe in assur ing our readers that this work will be promptly carried out. Those who atten ded the two meetings already held have exhibited a liberality and 4 zeal in this en terprise that has not characterized their deliberations heretofore, and which encour ages us to hope and believe there will be no diminution of spirit, energy and funds, until Thomas county, with her beautiful town, has been placed in the position for* tune now offers, and swelling into opulence from the increasing value of her Rail roads.— Thomasville Enterprise, 9th inst ) The Society Islands. A Washington correspondent of the Richmond South gives the Following sketch of recent events: The French Government, as I am in formed, took possession ot the Society and Marquesas Islands in 1842, and still hold possession of them; but from the stringen cy and excessive jealousy of the French Protectorate for some years past, on ac count of the inlerferance of foreigners, the people of those Islands are desirous of be ing again free from all French rule. So it is with the people of other Islands of Po lynesia, under the control of England, and hence the reason of their desire ot annexa tion to the United States, for which these people have been inclined to be amicably disposed. The French, knowing the dis position of the natives to be friendly to wards us, have used every means in their power to incite them to rebellion and make them hostile to our people, and, if possible, to keep them in complete ignorance of our power and importance. It was not'until the cruise of the United States ship John Adams, Capt. Boutwell, that the natives of Polynesia knew that there was a third great nation in the world (America) that they could annex themselves to. During the visit of the John Adams, the natives of those Islands were made to feel that one of the greatest commercial na tions on the globe was the United States, as the letters of United States Consul Wil liams, of the Fejee Islands, will show, ex tracts of which I send you, the originals of which can be found on file in the State Department. [Extract.] U. S. Commercial Agency, Lauthala Bav, Fejee Islands, Dec. 13, ’56 S Hon. IV. L, Marcy, Secretary of State, U. S. Washington: The reports abroad respecting w hat has been said by the officers of English ships of war and English Wesleyan missionaries, respecting their government and our own, and our claims, together with the letters enclosed, proves the fact of asservation on the part of her British Majesty’s officers and English missionaries to Tui Viti, and against our claimants, he, Tui Viti, supposes England controls us in the United States. Strange state of affairs, indeed. Not until after the United Statas ship John Adams visited here in 1855, did the officers of the English surveying ship, the Herald, dare venture to penetrate into the interior of this country. Cjmmander Boutwell, com manding the United States ship John Ad ams, relieved them of their fears, opening the way for future researches in all parts, free of danger. 1 have the honor to be, sir, Your obedient servant, JOHN B. WILLIAMS. United States Consul, New Zeland, and U. S. Commercial Agent to Fejee Islands. [Extract..] Consulate of the U. S. i Lauthala, Fejee Islands, Aug. 31, ’57 £ Hon. W. L. Marcy, Secretary of State of the United Stales, Washington: Fejeeans circumcise as practiced by the Jews of old. Sometimes for slight offences, a woman’s nose is either cut or bit off.— Now, Captain E. B. Boutwell, of the U. S. ship-of-war John Adams, put a stop, in these Islands, to the inhuman practice of eating human flesh, and the strangling of women and children, was the cause of the civilization of more than fifty thousand Fe jeeans, and did more lor the advancement of civilization and Christianity in the Fejee nation than any body of men or ship~of war, excepting the sloop-of-war Falmouth, Captain Petigru, of Charleston, (who done well for the limited time he was here, with scarcity of provisions on board) lor the last sixteen years, or since the departure of Commander Wilkes, of the United States Exploring Expidition in 1840. I have the honor to be, sir, Your most obedient servant, JOHN B. WILLIAMS, U. S. Consul, Lauthala. It will be plainly seen that we have done more towards the civilization and christian izing of these people than any other nation, and nevertheless, because of their desire to be annexed to us, the French have had the audicity to arrest and take on hoard two of our citizens. It is time our interest in these waters be fully sustained, and that ample reparation be exacted by our Government of the French. VERITAS. The Morals of Affliction. “Sweet,” says Shakespeare, “are the uses of adversity,” “Which like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel io its bead.” One of our own writers remarks: “But for the sorrows of the heart, where would the affections find their strength ? Our virtues, like certain aromatic herbs of the forest, only give out their sweets when their leaves are bruised and trampled. He who has never lelt sorrow, we may well assume, has never known love ; since the most precious affections of the soul arise from sympathies at need—that are seldom known till they are sought, and never sought till they are felt necessary io soothe an infirmity or satisfy a want.” The same writer says f “Were it not for the tears that fill our eyes, what an ocean would flood our hearts! Were it not for the clouds that shadow onr landscape, how insolent would be our sunshine !” Personal Intelligence. Hon. Jeff. Davis is announced to address the citizens of Boston in support of the ad ministration democratic State ticket in Massachusetts. When Charles Astor Bristed fought his duel with the French marquis his dress dis played “nary white,” not even shirt-collar, wristband, or bosom—all was solemn and undistinguishable black; while the French man, as if in defiance, fluttered a white handkerchief from his bosom, as a mark for the American’s ball. But nobody was hit or hurt. Hon. A. G. Brown, United States senator from Misissippi, arrived in Washington on the 9th inst; be is stopping at the Nation al Hotel. The United States steamer Michigan ar* rived at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 2d instant. At Erie, during the squall on Friday after noon, she was run int by the schooner St. James, by which her jib boom was carried away, her figure head stove to pieces, and some other damage done.

Interesting News from Mexico. Charleston, Oct. 12.—8 y the steamship Isabel we have important news from Mexico. The British Steamer Solent left Vera Cruz on the 3rd inst. at 12 o’clock J)l. At 7 o’clock that morning a Courier arrived from the City ot Mex ico, who stated that Gen. Vidaurri had been de feated by Gen. Miramon near San Luis. The latter captured 1,000 prisoners and several pieces ot artillery. At 8 o’clock ic the .morning another Courier arrived from Vera Cruz who stated that Vidaurri had defeated JVliramon, and that the lat* ler had blown out his brains in despair. The Solent brought news from Tampico, that Gov. Garzia, commanding at Tatnpico, had levied a contribution on all foreigners, amounting to $100,000; and on failing to raise the same had imprisoned a number of Spanish and American cit izens, in 38 houses, with nothing to eat or drink, and who were released on condition that they would raise the amount. A number fled in the Steamer Solent. The Spanish Consul took refuge in a vessel of wax off Tampico, and his family sought refuge in the steamer Solent and were conveyed to Havana. Important despatches are on the way to Wash ington, from the Spanish Consul and the Ameri can Minister, who will sail from Vera Cruz on the 18th inst. in the Plymouth, for the U. S. Col. Talcott and Messrs. Myers a. and Gray of the corps of Engineers, were passengers on the steamer Solent, and embarked on the 10th inst. in the Isabel for Charleston. On the way from the city of Mexico to Vera Cruz, the diligence was attacked by robbers, three were shot dead by the diligence party, who for*, tunately escaped uninjured. Pennsylvania Election.

How to Preserve Beauty. —Nothing is more becoming to a man or woman, than a beautiful and luxuriant head of hair, and a woman’s beau ty is certainly incomplete without a fair complex ion, and he or she who neglects these great and important adornments of nature must expect to suffer the mortification of premature baldness, and a wrinkled face aud a sallow skin. Nothing is necessary to preserve these essential attractions but the use off Professor Wood’s Restorative.— Louisville Times. Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative —We have had occasion to use this famous preparation of Prof. Wood’B, and after thoroughly testing its qualities, we find that where the hair is thin it will ti icken it, if gray it will restore it to its original color; likewise, it gives a glossy appearance, as well as keeps the hair from Tailing off.

A gentleman living in Philadelphia say 9: In passing through Pittsburgh, some months since, I purchased a bottle of‘Bcerhave‘s Holland Bitters.’ It relieved me so much, that on returning home, I bought two more bottles from Dr. Hoyt which completely cured me ol Neuralgia. I have re commended the article to many of my old friends and four or five of the number say it cured them.
