(OLI MBIS, MONDAY, JANUARY IBM. State Aid to Kail Roads. Tbe Atlanta Intelligencer ol’ Dec. 30th, saj's: “The Columbus Timex seems to felicitate itself very much on the faet, that, that State Aid was defeated in the Legislature. “The cry,” it says, “of enhancing the value of land, and diminish ing the price of transportation on goods, was a syren song, which lulled legislators to sleep.” We imagine that the Times will find out that it is the people who have been “lulled to sleep” on this question, and that they are destined to wake up and express their will upon it, in such a manner as the - Times” and all other parties will under stand. We have yet to be convinced that the “ Timet” represents the feelings of Muscogee Cos., on this subject of great importance to them.” # We should deplore the issue which our cotem porary seeks to make on this question, YY’e have HO desire to see a Trojan llorse filled with arm ed men Walk into the gates of the strong-city of Democracy—nor will the issue be made. But the Intelligencer is right in thinking that wo re joice over the defeat of State aid, by the last leg islature. Wc do, most emphatically; and we con gratulate the people that the enormous sum of three millione\ol dollars'was not guaranteed to cor porations to build rail-roads. It is folly to talk about security to the State, when the keen-sight ed vigilance of self-interest will not induce specu lators to endorse the bonds of the companies. It is useless to talk about building a road by the State, when it will be a paying road and there is no danger of loss. There will always bo subscrip tions sufficient by interested purties and capital ists to build it. It is useless to talk about making the government rich when the people would pre fer themselves to be rich in preference to the government. It is useless to endeavor to make so odious a principle a cardinal doctrine of the Democratic creed. As to the people “waking up” upon this ques tion, as our cotempory intimates, we can only say, that they have ever repudiated State aid by over whelming numbers whenever the issue has been made. Look at Alabama and other States where the public men who have advocated it have been doomed to private life. We do not know an in stance where State aid has ever been endorsed by the people. The vote in the Legislature upon the question was no evidence of its strength. It was the union of local interests that gained the State aid bill a respectable.vote. Avery small number endorsed the principle. We may not reHect the “feelings of the people of Muscogee” in our views upon this question, we advocate-what we believe to be right without an appeal to them—but we venture the assertion that so far from the people of Muscogee endorsing a loan of the State’s credit for railroads —a credit which they will protect with the watch fulness oftheir individual credit—such a propo sition would not receive one hundred votes in the county. Indeed, this number is near one hun dred more than we have any knowledge of at this time. Mr, Geo. D. Prentice v>. iir. Calhoun. This gentleman who is lecturing throughout the oirco-directly or indirectly to Mr. Calhoun, lie frequently says, Jackson, Clay and Webster. It was supposed in Columbus that he was not aware of the mistake lie had made, and inadvertently used the name of Jackson for that of Calhoun.— We ha ve since seen reports of his speeches where he intentionally made the same mistake. Now we have no idea that the memory of Mr. Calhoun will suffer from the omission of his name by Mr. Prenti -e, and we do not know that we are licensed thus to bring Mr. Prentice’s prejudice to the pub lic view. It sufficeth to say, that the country has awarded to CALHOUN, CLAY and WEBSTER the meed of statesmanship, and the shafts of mal ice thrown at the former by Mr. George Prentice is scarcely worthy a notice. We crave pardon for alluding to it. The Africans. Some thirty or forty of the young Africans, sup posed to have been brought by the Wanderer to the coast of Georgia, passed through Montgomery some days since. We have read various accounts of them—their docility and obedience to instruc tions. Those that passed through Montgomery are minutely described by correspondents of the Tuskegeo Jiepublican and Marion Commonwealth., both of which favor the re-opening of the slave trade. Ignorant as yet, of the true meaning of the language, which they utter with great dis tinctness, they are directed principally by signs and gestures. They are said to be remarkably ‘•pert and lively.” A correspondent of the Marion Commonwealth, (Ala.) alludes to the manner of getting them on board the steamer at Montgom ery. He says : “For some time the Africans could not be in duced to go on board the boat, and seemed much frightened at the smoke, Ac. Doubtless they had a perfect horror of traveling on water again, af ter having so recently endured a long and crowd ed sea voyage. The manner in which they were induced to go on is worthy of notice. The mate tried every means to get them on board, but with no effect. Finally, lie concerted a plan with a big black Alabama negro, lie tried to get him to go on board, but bo resolutely refused, when the mate laid him down on the gang-wav plank and hit him four or five substantial licks with his ponderous leather strap, when the said Alabama negro got up, yelling awfully, aud went straight on hoard, beckoning to the Africans to follow— and they did follow, to the amusement and amid the cheers of the crowd ! The Advertiser (Saturday morning) says of the negroes: “Many of them seem sprightly and intelligent, and will undoubtedly make tine plantation hands. They are mostly of the Congo tribe, we believe. A large number of our eiti tens visited them, and satisfied the curiosity that has long been enter tained to see the real Afeican. These negroes .-e supposed to have been brought here in the “Wanderer.” . • em - The Mobile & Girard Rallroaa. Editors of Time* .—The Mobile & Girard Rail road has met with no accident; but has suffered se verely from the late rains—we hope to have the passenger train running on Wednesday, but it will be some day? vef before we can carry freight. Yours, J. H. HOWARD. President. FOR THR TIMES. Slave Property—A Query. If Slaves are “property”—whence came the doubt about the ‘‘power’ of Congress to protect persons and property in States and Territories— not to destroy but to protect qjther and both? Did it come from the Kansas-Nebraska bill ? its Badger Proviso and other provisos? Perhaps after all the immortal Kansas act had ! a double edge, and while it cut through the old j Missouri Restriction—in our seeming favor—it j cut to the vital part of Slave property by denying to it the protection which ali other “property” justly claims from the Fodural Government. There is an unwritten volume on this subject rwill you, Messrs. Editors, or some of yoHi- able contributors write it? I should like to he inform ed if the power of Congress.Yo protect slavery in the Territories was ever doubted before the Kan sas Act? WILL W ARWICK. Dec. JUth, 1858. Washington, Dec. 27,1858. While the opponents of the Old Soldiers’ Pen sion bill estimate that from eleven to twelve mil lions will be required to carry it into effect, its friends say, from the most accurate calculations, the amount will only be three million per annum. There is, however, no prospect of the bill becom ing a law. General Walker is believed to be in the vicinity j of Mobile. Gen. Hejiiiingsen is still in Washington. Among the recent confirmations by the Senate were Alex. YVilson, to he District Attorney for Utah Territory, and Alfred M. Lay, District At torney for the Southern District of Missouri. A letter has been received at the Indian Bu reau, from the Commissioners engaged in survey ing the Indian boundary lines, which says that they are under the protection of Major Van. Dorn, who recently inflicted the severest chastisement upon the Camanches on the Canadian river, and that through his vigilance and that of the officers accompanying his command, the frontier of YVes tern Texas is not likely to be molested again for a long time by these marauders, who have disap peared and nothing been seen of them since the light at YVhitchita village. Southern papers received here contain accounts of an enthusiastic meeting held at Columbus, Miss., to consider the subject of rendering material aid to General YY’alker in carrying out his Southern emigration scheme in Nicaragua. Several other similar meetings are also announced. It is said the sympathy of Mississippi is fully awakened in favor of Gen. YV. and his plans. Outrages in Kansas and Missouri. St. Louis, Dec. 27, 1858. The Jefferson City Examiner learns from a re liable source, that Fort Scott, Kansas, on the night of the 15th iust., was attacked by Capt. Mont gomery, at the head of two hundred men, and the town taken. When the Examiner’s informant, es caped five or six persons had been killed by them. The object of the attack, it was presumed, was to release one of Capt. Montgomery’s men, who was confined there under a.n indictment for murder. It was feared the town would be entirely destroy ed. * A dispatch from Kansas City says that the Ila'r risonville (Missouri) Democrat of the 25th inst., states that on last Monday a band of thieves and assassins, from Kansas Territory, entered Y r ernon -County, Missouri,” and killed David Cruse and stole a lot of cattle, twenty horses and eleven negroes. “ *■ **<v time Cantain- Rruwn M*.> •. gomery entered Missouri, on the Little Osage river, and stole a negro woman and took Mr. Larne prisoner, carrying the latter into the Terri tory, but releasing him on the following day. An express had been sent to Gov. Stewart, of Mis souri, for assistance to protect life and property. Late discoveries in Pathology show that very many of the diseases which afflict mankind arise from impurity of the blood. This has long been suspected but is only lately known. In consump tion, tubercles are found to bea sedimentary depos ite from the blood. Dropsy, Gout, Cancers, Ul cers and Eruptions, all arise in disordered depos ites from the blood. Bilious diseases and fevers are caused.solely by its deranged unhealthy state, and even the decline of life follows a want of vi tality in the blood. In view of these facts Du. Ayer designed his Cathartic Pill especially to purify and invigorate the blood, and hence we be lieve to arise its unparalelled success in controll ing and curing disease. Medical Journal. Governor of Nebraska. The latest news from YVashington City in re spect to appointments is, that the President will appoint Judge Samuel Block, Governor of Ne braska, and the vacancy on the bench in that Ter ritory will be filled by a gentleman from Georgia. It is not yet ascertained who is to be appointed. France. The Mouitevr publishes an official notification from Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, Commander in-Chief of the French and Spanish forces in Cochin China, to the effect that on and after the first of September, ISSB, the bay and river of Tuurome and the port of Cham-Callao are declar ed in strict blockade. All vessels attempting to force the blockade will be treated according to the usages of international law. The Moniteur also publishes a report from Mar shal Yaillant, approved by the Emperor, appoint ing a Committee to examine into the best means for improving the manufacture of fire-arms in France. It was said that the opening of the Chambers, which was to have taken place on the 10th of January, is adjourned until the month of Febru ary, owing to the preparation of the budgets not being sufficiently advanced. The Patrie says the proceedings in the appeal of M. Montalembert had been fixed for the 24th December. The Minister of Commerce, in answer to a me morial from the Chamber of Commerce of Havre, complaining of the injury suffered by French commerce in conseouence of the shite of affairs in Mexico, has informed the Chamber that their I complaint has been communicated to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, who has consulted with his colleague, the Minister of Marino, as to the meas ures wb : ch it may be necessary to take. The monthly returns of the Bank of France show an increase in the cash in hand in Paris, of 12,700,0t1U francs, and in branch banks of 15,200,- 000 francs. The Paris correspondent of the Times is in formed that the commission appointed to report on the subject of the engagement of free negroes in the French colonies, have declared in favor of the present system. The commander of the French squadron on the African coast reports to the Minister of Marine that a fresh difficulty has’ arisen, a French vessel loaded with free negroes having been overhauled by the English cruisers aud forced to re-land the immigrants, although the operation was -perfectly regular. The Paris Bourse had been firm, but there was a reaction on the 10th inst. The 3 per cents clos ed at 73. 35 for account and 73,05 for money.

It adds several arrests have tak#i place at Milan, and that sev enteen students have been arrested at Pavia, where several houses have been searched for arms, many of which, have been seized. The gar rison has been increased by a field battery. It has already been stated that the Archduke Charles Louis, brother to the Emperor of Austria, lately visited the Pope. The Gpinionc states that he is formally entrusted with a political mission, the object ol'which is to obtain permission from the Pope to occupy some new points of the Lega tion with Austrian troops, in order to be prepared for :>ti outbreak. It is affirmed that the Sardinian government has sent to its diplomatic agents abroad a circular relative to the rumors of a war with Austria, de claring-that nothing whatever hitherto has arisen to confirm such assertions.. Spain. — A Madrid dispatch says that Marshal O’Donnell had declared that the government had resolved to preserve the constitutional system. The first vote which took place in the new Span ish Cortes gave the government a majority of 152 out of 163 votes. Letters from Spain state that the expedition to Mexico will be on a larger scale than was sup posed.

Turkey.— Constantinople advices of December 1, states that the ambassadors of the Great Powers had met in conference during two consecutive days, to deliberate on the critical state of the Principalities! There was an extraordinary movement and activity Among the members of the diplomatic corps. The reserves of the army in Asia had been call ed out. Notwithstanding the arrival of a part of the loan contracted in England, the Turkish troops had not received their arrears of pay, and there was also a delay in paying the salaries of public functionaries. From the Washington Union. Senator Davis’ Cuban Policy. Mr. Davis of Mississippi, proposes to proceed by attachment against Spain as an absent, ab sconding, or fraudulent debtor. We have a long account against Spain, contracted under aggra vated circumstances, and sufficient time has elap sed to show that she is utterly indifferent alike to the obligations she has incurred and to the very offensive events of their origin. There is more in this subject than appears upon the sur face. Spain is largely indebted to our citizens.— Her agents have committed many grave outrages upon them; ho ve sacrificed their property and, in numerous instances-,yvheu they have beenarraign by Spanish tribunals, aud on final decision pro nounced innocent, they have been charged with enormous court expenses, and held in prison un til they were paid. In nine cases out of ton our claims have ariseu from tortuous, illegal and un juctitiable acts on her part. They are nearly ail founded on some clear violations of law. Mr. Davis proposes, under all the circumstan ces, that the federal government shall notify Spain and demand payment for certain indebted ness, and, in default thereof, that attachment is sue with directions to our naval constables to seize the Island of Cuba. In equity Mr. Davis is right. Spain has justly forfeited ail claim to the forbearance of the United States. The Island has been governed for twenty years on the idea that England and France would not consent to its falling into our bands. It has been regarded as perfectly safe to treat our people as barbarians and pirates; to arrest them, confiscate their prop erty, and even when pronounoed innocent in crim inal prosecutions, to refuse not only to return their estates, but make them pay enoianous costs. The judicial system of Cuba is in the hands or under the control of the Governor, This is not the theory of the government, but it is its prac . tice: so that all authority, wherever and by whomsoever exercised, is a unit.

Among all preparations for the hair that have been introduced as infallible, none has ever given the satisfaction or gained the popularity that Prof. YY’ood’s Hair Restorative now has. His Restorative has passed the ordeal of innumerable fashionable toilets, and the ladies, wherever they have tested it,pronounce it a peerless article. They find, where the hair is thinned, that it creates a fresh growth—that it fully restores the vegetative power of the roots on the denuded places, and causes the fibres to shoot forth anew—that it dis solves and removes dandruff, prevents grayness, restores the hair to its original color when gray noKs has actually supervened, gives a rich lustre, imparts the sofness and flexibility of silk to the hair, .and keeps it always luxuriant, healthy and in full vigor. —New York Tribune.
