AUGUSTA.GA:
Wtdneiday Evening, Feb. 3, 1»S8.
The Presidential Gamci
AU political action in this country
contemplates a period, at most, of only
four years. Our demagogues, who have
usurped, without the ability to fill, the
place of statesmen, look forward at
this time, no farther than October of
1860. Genuine republicanism has been;
its soul was patriotism. But now, de
sire of office is the single motive power
in Federal legislation, if not in that of
the States. The Presidency is the capi
tal prise. The White House is the
grand centre of attraction. Ho expla
nation of motives, nor any calculation
of results, will be well founded, which
does not proceed upon the principle
that all party action is had with a view
to its effect upon the next Presidential
election. The struggles for all minor
offices —Governorships, Senatorships,
Ac.,—are all more or less affected in
their results, by the grand fight always
going on among a few prominent dem
agogues for the office of Federal Execu
tive. But the influences are reciprocal,
so that the election of a sheriff has al
ways something to do with the ques
tion—who is to be the next President?
This state of things is a disgrace, as it
will surelv prove the destruction of our
Government, and the ruin of free insti
tutions.
And this juggling, pulling and kick
ing for office, North, South, East and
West, is about to fix the doom of the
institution of slavery. Wo know there
are plenty of blind men, interested pol
iticians, and good easy souls, who are
certain to “pooh” at us, and pity our
fearful hearts, when we tell them that
most iminent dangers are upon the
slaveholding States ; that the alterna
tive of emancipation in its worst forms,
or of revolution, will soon be offered us.
We do not pretend to comprehend all
the manoeuvers of all parties in regard
to Kansas, so far as to see the immedi
ate object of every act. Satan alone
understands them, as he prompts near
ly all that is done, and has been at the
bottom of nearly all that has been
lone in Kansas matters for the last two
or three years. But we find no blur
over our eyes when we look at the
noonday fact, that the Kansas subject is
managed, and always has been, solely
with reference to an effect upon Presi
dential elections. It gave the vote of
..he South to Buchanan, the great kid
napper—a man whose antecedentswould
have killed him in the slaveholding
States, but for the excitement of the
tiansas difficulties. It is now the great
question—who shall ride into office in
: 860 on Kansas. We look at the whole
natter thus: There are but two parties
n the country—Democratic and Black
republican. The South is considered '
ertain for Democracy, provided De- ,
nocracy will give her a nominal half
vay “non-intervention.” She is sup
posed not to be at all particular wheth
r non-intervention makes slave or free '
-dates! The adherence of the Northern
ving of Democracy to their party de '
.ends entirely upon the result in Kan
is. The masses at the North, of all >
arties, are earnest in their desire to
eesoilize that and all other territo
es. Northern Democracy would not 1
-ive a pinch of snuff for any party or ,
>ny creed that cannot and does not make j
ree territories. Douglas, Seward,
•;nd everybody else know that rats
will not leave a burning house soon- ,
r than Northern voters will leave a
arty which should fail to make Kansas
, f r ee State, and to establish the prac
• ce of “no more slave territory.”
This condition of feeling in the North
a determination among the laity to
ave no party who had not the power
,nd the will to curtail slavery, has giv
, i rise to the present curious position
f Douglas, on the one hand, in opposi
, on to the Lecompton Constitution, and
[ Seward and his black array, silently
renting, in Washington, to the same
institution, and openly calling for it
, Kansas.
The curious position we speak of, has
•en brought about thus : Douglas has
id but one string to his bow. His
ily chance for the Presidency, has
•en to bring Kansas into the Union as a
ce State, by Democratic machine- ,
This would augment and invigor- ]
. e Northern Democracy to such an ex- 1
at, that, combined with the poor ,
uth, befooled by “non intervention” <
nsensc, he might demand and receive
.a next Democratic nomination, with \
oat certainty of an election. But the 1
ack Republicans have had two strings )
l • their bow ; either, ]
Ist: To defeat Democracy in Kansas 1
• ,d at Washington, and to admit the
■ erritory under a Topeka, or same such
< institution, when the prestige of vic
ry would rally the whole North to
i heir standard, or,
2d: To throw such obstacles in the
ay of Douglas as to allow Kansas to
me in a Blave State, thereby eternally
isgracing Democracy in the North,
...id convincing everybody, North of
.ason and Dixon, that Democracy is a
. nonym for pro-slavery-ism. The suc
vii of Black Republicanism, upon ei
ther of these tacks, would ruin Doug
las, and completely destroy every chance
of his being supported for the Presiden
cy by the North, without whom the
South is unable to elect him, tickle her
as he might.
The general refusal of Black Repub
licans, to participate in the election of
delegates ro the Constitutional Conven
tion, resulted in making the Lecomp
ton Constitution pro-slavery, “with, or
without the slavery clause.” It is pro
slavery either way. This gives the Re
publicans a great chance of succeeding
in the plan No. 2. Douglas knows that
the admsssion of Kansas under the Le
compton Constitution will be the death
knell of his hopes. This great danger
has compelled him to show the hypo*
risy of his friendship for the South.
One can have no sensation but that of
disgust at the contemptible meanness
of his quibbles about “enabling acts,”
“frauds” &c., by which he seeks to over
throw the Lecompton Constitution and
so fix things, that another Convention
may, through hit infiuenct, be permitted
to adopt such a thing as a Topeka Con
. stitution.
Utterly unable to parade a solitary
respectable argument against either the
legality of origin, or the justice of pro
vision in the Lecompton Constitution,
he is now so far ahead of Seward, Hale
, and that ilk in denouncing Kansas De
, mocracy, as completely to have taken
the wind out of the sails of Topeka-ism.
Black Republicanism is now alarmed,
lest Douglas should succeed in bringing
a better Frcesoil Constitution before
Congress than they ever made, and
hence it is, that Republican “freedom
shrieking” prints in Kansas, are advo
cating the adoption of the Lecompton
, Constitution, by Congress. Thus the
, matter stands, and “we shall see what
we shall see.”
Which side had the South better take?
Is there any choice of evils ? Black Re
publicans offer her the Lecompton thing
to be altered and cast away by the first
Legislature that meets under it—alrea
dy elected and strong Black Republican.
They offer the thing because they be
lieve that its acceptance will give them
a victory in the next elections up to
1860 ! Douglas seeks to wrest from her,
even that poor reward for her unswerv
ing attachment to the fortunes of him
and his party. Can’t afford to let her
have a crumb which she got by follow
ing his directions, but tells her that she
may think herself well off with “non
intervention,” whenever it does not suit his
purposes. Poor, duped South! Always
befooled by words and always to be
fooled until she will drop abstractions
and eschew office seekers. Os one thing,
there is moral certainty, no Southern
man can be the next President, because
the South cannot, and the North will not
elect him, but the South can have her
choice, togiveKansas to elect Douglas or
a man of his stamp, or she may keep the
Lecompton bubble and give the Presiden
cy to an out and out Black Republican.
To this choice has Presidential gambling
brought the Sunny South! 0
(SF‘ The dwelling house and furniture
of Mr. Edmond O’Connor, of Hall coun
ty, says the Mountain Signal, wa6 destroy
ed by fire in the latter part of last week.
The conflagration took place in the ab
sence of the family-nothing saved.
The Sandy Hill (Washington county)
Herald, a most respectable and reliable
paper, remarks :
Incredulous as it may seem, there is
little, if any doubt that this woman
has lived for more than eighteen months
without eating or drinking. We have
not alluded to the case before, for the
reason of its apparent incredibility, but
others, after the closest scrutiny, have
become convinced that there is no de
ception practiced, and that the woman
actually subsists without food or water.
In order to test the matter, a gentle
man took the woman to his residence,
and parties watched her day and night
for one month, who say she neither ate
nor drank during that time, and that
on food being brought into the room in
the pockets of disinterested persons, the
woman would immediately go into con
vulsions. The same effect was pro
duced by persons taking tobacco or any
kind of ardent spirits where she was.
The woman is reduced to a perfect
skeleton, so much so that by placing
the hand upon the abdomen, the back
bone can be distinctly felt.
We are aware that there are instances
on record somewhat akin to this, which
turned out to be frauds ; but if this i 6
a deception, it has been so adroitly prac
ticed that every one who has examined j
it has been duped.
Besides, there is no motive for thej
deception; and it is quite incredible)
that any person would suffer to the ex- J
tent that this woman has, for the sole
purpose of playing upon the credulity j
of the public.
Viewed in any light, the subject is
worthy of the attention of the scien
tific and curious.
The Tennesseo Crusader say s that Sam
uel M. Hewlettand Philip S. White, for- j
msrly very eloquent and indefatigable:
temperance orators, “are both drunk
ards again.” They are going around j
now as “frightful examples” of the in
fluence of brandy toddies.
Gen. Hennings. ».
A Nicaraguan correspondent of the
N. York Times, says: “I have heardi
many leading Nicaraguan gentlemen!
declare that in case Gen. Henningsen j
should come at the head of an expedi’
tion, they would offer him no resistance.;
I do not believe that there could be five S
hundred soldiers raised to fight him in
all Nicaragua, should he enter thej
country. He is very popular, not only j
in this State, but throughout Central j
America —more so, privately, than any!
native of the land, and is admired, not;
only for his valor and generalship, but;
likewise for his many generous and no-i
ble qualities,
Sir Colin Campbell’* Escape.
The Rev. Dr. Duff, in his last letter -
from India, mentions the following re
markable escape of Sir Colin Campbell
on bis march to the relief of Lucknow :
Sir Colin and his staff, unaccompanied
by any escort, in the neighborhood of
the river Sone, came suddenly upon
two companies of the mutineid 32d. who
recently killed their own officers.— t
T*y were then in the net of crossing (
the trunk road, with fourteen elephants, (
two guns, and a small body of sowars or
irregular native cavalry. Sir Colin s
garry, or traveling carriage, was ahead ]
of all the others; and although the na- j
tive coachman warned him of his dang
er, he still pushed on, till an aid-de- '
camp directed his attention to the mu- j
tineers crossing the road at a distance of j
• not more than 500 yards. At first the j
■ chief would not go back, but got on the i
top of his garry with a glass; and only j ]
when he saw some cavalry sent to cut i
off his retreat did he think it proper to .
f stop. Had they been a few hundred
yards further on, the whole party must
) have been cut off to a man, since hav- 1
ing no escort, the odds opposed to them
- was so tremendous as to render effect
, ual resistance impossible.
1 As it was, their coming up, with such
1 apparent boldness, so very near to the
1 rebels, evidently soon impressed the
latter with the conviction that Sir Colin
and his party formed only the advance
guard of an avenging column, and so,
f after a little hesitation, they made off
as fast as they could, elephants, guns
e and all, while Sir Colin and his staff in
- stantly turned back and retraced their
, steps for ten miles, till they cameupwith
a bullock train party of soldiers.. What
a narrow escape 1 What a providential
• interposition ! A few minutes sooner,
i and the brave Sir Colin, with his whole
staff, would have been ignominioUSly
butchered. "What, then, of poor dis
, tiactcd British India! Who can ven
; ture to estimate the extent of calamity
, which might result from the announce-
I ment throughout all the rebel hosts of
the capture of such a prise 1 May we
l not, then, hall a personal escape so re
markable, as the token of an over-ruling
Providence, that he who was thus mar
-1 vellously delivered himself, is destined
! to be the instrument of signal delive
t ranee to others, and the agent, in the j ,
hand of a gracious God, for restoring \
f order and tranquility to this sadly con- j
vulsed and sorely scourged land ?

! The Winter Twenty Year* Ago. (
[ We have noticed many comparisons
between the years 1837—’8 and 1857-’8
' in financial and monetary matters, but <
more can be presented in regard to the
season. It was then, as now, feared that j
the winter would much increase the
physical suffering among the poorer ‘
1 classes ; but the evil was averted by a a
winter as mild and as pleasant as the j
present one. Fuel and provisions, such
as coal, wood, and flour, fell in price.—
The records inform us that the month i
of December, 1837, was very mild and j t
open, no frost on the ground ; Christ
mas pleasant and warm, and so contin- 1
; uing until the end of the year. No <
[ snow for sleighing, except on the 10th
, and 11th of December, and then for but
a short time. January, 1838, twenty 1
> years ago, was a remarkable winter j i
: month ; the weather, excepting the last j
, two days, was nearly a* mild as an In
’ dian summer. No snow fell during the
month, the thermometer averaging at I
i 2P. M. at forty degrees through the ]
, month ; and the succeeding, contradic
ted many wise remarks, such as we of
ten hear, that “a warm winter brings a ‘
' cold spring,” “ wiu:er never rots in
the sky,” &c. February was cold, with ,
but little snow, there being but four
teen clear days. March had but two 1
snow-storms and much mud. April ]
was variable, but the temperature ave- i,
raging a few degrees above that of Janu- j
ary. The Hudson river opened and! 1
closed three times during the season,
the last opening being about the 18th !
of march. Other rivers opened about j
the same time.— Boston Transcript. , t

The True Style of Hoops—A Lady’s
Opinion.
A lady in the Ncwburyport Hearald *
says: fi
So, we will say a few words on hoops.' e
Don'tcallusa bear, fair renders, nor c
throw away this paper in disgust, for
we are not about to join our brother
knight 6 of the quill in their crusade
against crinoline; but Don Quixote- t
like, we will espouse the cause of dis- ,
tressed damsels, though we “face a 1
frowning world.” We hereby add an t
article to our confession of faith. We
believe in hoops. Mind, we say hoops,
plural number. Deliver us from that 1
abominable, single, hogs head hoop, !
which many ladies wear about knee
high, showing its entire 6hape, through
u single flimsy skirt, dragging down by t
its weight, the dress to the 6hape of a c
cone, while the part of the skirt below
the hoops flaps, winds and reefs around 1
it in every wind that blows. Not much 1
improvement is the addition of one or
two other hoops, unless they are gradu.
ated in size according to the height of
- wearer and covered by skirts of suf
ficient thickness to hide the skeleton,
than which nothing could be more hi
deous, unless, it were a veritable skele
ton from the grave yard. e
The only skirt that looks uniformly
graceful is that made of a series of rat ,
tan, whalebone or brass hoops, extend
ing from the waist to the feet, gradual
ly increasing in size with that graceful p
j swell that gives to the dress the airy
j contour of a blue bell; preserving
! that golden mean in regard to circum
i ference, that modesty and good taste
I will ever dictate. The hoops in this j
skirt should be so near together that j
they will lose their individuality, and
“ make no sign” underneath the thin- i
nest summer dress; for herein lies the j
advantage and whole philosophy of the [ f.
hoop movement, inasmuch as it allows '
j one skirt to give that fulness and grace ; c
! which has hitherto been attainable only j fi
by half a dozen.
i After all, the genuine crinoline 13 the i v
| thing, which, as its name imports, is ah.
j kind of hair cloth which by its own in- j i,
1 nate virtue, without the aid of hoops, v
j will preserve its elasticity and inflated 0
character, without the awkwardness j,
that at times is inseparable from its j
j humble imitator. The expense is the j t
j only objection to its genera! adoption, | j
l which, for the ladies ’ sak«, we hope a
may be soon removsd. t

Abstraatof the President's Message.
Washington. Feb. 2.—The Message of
the President, accompanying the Le
compton Constitution was read before
Congress to-day
The President says great delusion
prevails about the condition of parties
in Kansas. He recapitulates the history
of past affairs—pronounces the Topeka
government a usurpation—and declares
it impossible that any people could have
i proceded with more regularity than the
| people of Kansas in the formation of
the Lecompton Constitution. The con
vention of June last was a propitious
moment to settle all dfficulties in the
Territory, but the Topekaites suffered
the elections to go by default, hence
they have no right to complain.
The Lecompton Convention was le
gally constituted and invested with
power to frame a Constitution, which
it did, and submitted the question to the
people of Kansas, whether Kansas
should be a free or a slave State.
The President believes that under the
organic act the Convention was bound
to submit this all important question to
the people. And they did so, and again
the Topekaiteß refused the participate
in the elections.
At the election for State officers, on
the 4th of January, a wiser spirit pre
vailed, and the vote was much larger
The people of Kansas have, therefore,
in strict conformity with the organic
act, framed a Constitution for their
State government, and submitted the
! slavery question to the people—elected
I their State officers—and now ask admis
j sion into the Union under the Constitu
tion.
The President is decidedly in favor of
the admission of Kansas, thus termina
ting tne excitement of the Kansas ques
tion by localizing its distracting influ
ences.
As a question of expediency even,
Kansas should be admitted; inasmuch
as it would restore quiet to the Union
and prosperity to the Territory and to
the people of Kansas.
The only practical difference between
its admission and rejection is, whether
they can more speedily change their
present Constitution, or frame a second
one to be submittted to Congress.
It should never be forgotten that in
proportion to the insignificance of the
slave question, as affecting the few
thousand inhabitants of Kansas, the
fourteen slave States will feel the rejec
tion of the Constitution keenly. When
Kansas is admitted, the excitement be
comes localized and readily cools off,
and the troops can be withdrawn.
; The President concludes by declaring
as his consciencious belief, that the dark
clouds now over the Union can be dis
pelled by the admission of Kansas un
der the Lecompton Constitution, or
darkened by its rejection.

A Cool Jail Bird.
The Springfield Republican relates the
following in regard to Chapman, the ]
counterfeiter, who escaped from Green- i
field jail :
‘ * Alxrat an hour after the escape, lie
walked into Reed’s bar-room, in the vil
lage, and called for a drink. No one
knew him, and he sat down. The room
was full, and the topic of conversation, 1
of course, was the escape. Chapman 1
joined in the conversation, and sat there *
drinking and talking of the escape un
til nine o'clock—no one suspecting him.
He then left, walked up to the jail, -
and deliberately rung the bell of (
the front door of the jailor’s house.—
A son of the jailor opened the door, 1
when Chapman remarked that he *
thought it was about time to lock up, 1
and he had come to go to bed. Os f
course he was welcome. When after- .
wards asked why he returned, he said it
was a cold night, and he thought it :
would be more comfortable in bed in i
jail, than out in the woods without any i
ooat.” 1

(<r “Wood’s” Hair Restora
tive This wonderful preparation is having an
extensive sale In all parts of the Union. It ib
one of the few patent medicines which are now
sold over the country, that arc really what their
inventors claim for them. Wherever it has had
a fair trial, the result has been precisely as
Wood predicts. It has never failed to turn the
white hair back to the natural color, where the
directions have heen strictly followed, and in
nun crous cases it has restored the hair upon
heads that had been bald for years. It is not
pretended that it will make the hair grow in ev
ery case, but where it toils there is certainly no
remedy. The restoration es the hair has been
effected in so many instances where the case
seemed utterly hopeless, that it is certain y
worth while for all who have lost their hair to
try tho experiment of using a bottle or two of

We take pleasure in referring to the virtue of
Davis’ Pain Killer. We have used the article
and found it valuable. The sale of this article in
the United States is beyond all precedent, as the

mercial. .
Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer.—Wc first heard
of thi3 medicine uuring a visit to the New Eng
land States, and being struck with the novelty
of the title, were induced to make some inquiry
about it; and we were surprised to learn that it
was kept constantly in the houses of most ol the
inhabitants of the cities and villages where we
stopped, to be used in case of sudden attacks of
pain, burns, scalds, etc., and we heard it spoken
of in terms of high commendation, both by ■
druggists and physicians.— l'hil. Eagle.
Perry Davis 1 Pain Killer. —It is a great plea
sure to us to speak favorably of this article
known almost universally to be a good and safe
remedy for burns and other pains of the body.
It is valuable not only for colds in the winter,
but for various summer complaints, and should
be in every family. The casualty which de
mands it may come unawares.— Chris. Adv.
Valuable Medicine. —The sale of that remark
able and truly valuable preparation, Perry Davis
Pain Killer, is constantly and rapidly increasing.
During tbo past year, the demand for this great

A NEW AND VALUABLE
REMEDY.
001-am'bian Bittozrs,
COMPOSED strictly of the choicest
Vegetable Extracts, and warranted to give
great relief in Dyspepsia, and arising from a dis
ordered state of the stomach, such as nausea,
constipation, fullness of blood to the head, giddi
ness or the head, depression of spirits. loss or
appetite, pain in the side and back, fever and
ague, general debility, and the “thousandother
ills ” arising and enfeebled con
dition of the digestive organs. Habitual costive
ness is found very frequently connected with
feeble constitutions, and persons of sedentary
habits, which often exerts a very unfavorable
influence upon the general health of the subject,
and is particularly manifested by a restless and
desponoing state of mind, irregular, if not a loss
I of appetite. .
For this condition of the system, this article is
confidently recommended with the positive as
surance that, if the dose is properly adjusted, so
as not to move the bowels too actively, relief
, may b® relied on, without any, even the least,
of the unpleasant consequences resulting from
the use of the common purging medicines usual
ly resorted to.
Persons attlicted with Hemorrhoids, can
I partake of this medicine with safety, as Aloes
formes no part of its composition.

1) M N IS’ ALTERATIVE,,
PREPARED BY
J. DENNIS, M. D., Augusta, Ga.,
IN PINT BOTTLES,
IT CONTAINS, In addition to Sarsapa
rilla, the Hydro Alcoholic Extract of Queen’s
Delight, (Stilliugia); White Ash, Grey Beard or
Fringe Tree, (Chiouanthus) ; Tincture of May
Apple or Mandrake, (Podophyllum), and Blood
Root (Sanguinaria.)
Iu small doses it or Laxative ; in
largo doses it acts generally as a mild purgative
—with some as an active purgative. In some
cases no perceptible action on the bowels is ex
perienced, yet iu Liver Complaints, or in Dis
eases arising from an impure state of the Blood,
its continued use causes a marked improvement
in the general health.
As an alterative or laxative, it has been found
useful in Const pation of the Bowels, Jaundice,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Sick Headache,
Dizziness, various Female Complaints, Chronic
Atfections of the Liver, Secondary Syphilis, and
Syphiloid Diseases, Scrofulous Affections, Sores,
Ulcers, Blotches, Cutaneous Eruptions or Dis
eases of the Skin, and all other diseases in which
Sarsaparilla or alterative med Lines arc indi
cated.
That it acts upon the Liver, may be known
from the fact that in Jaundice or cases of Bilious
ness it causes free bilious evacuations, rosdily
removes uunatural yqllow tinge about the eyes,
and upon the skin, and improves the health and
spirits.
i hose who have tried this Alterative for Af
fections of the Liver, have found that it effects
a cure natural'}’ and gradually, by improving the
health, and th&.t but little or no other medicine
is Deeessary in these atfections.
Its healthy action on the liver and purifying
effect upon the blood, made it a great preventive
cf sickness. For children, this is generally all
the purgative that is necessary to be given, and
as often as otherwise, is all the medicine that is
necessary to bo given, especially to those tr«*ub
bled with worms, or a debilitated state of health.
A preparation of Sarsaparilla, known to he
good, is greatly needed, to keep the liver healthy
and the blood pure. Those who try it will find
themselves richly paid, by greatly preventing
sickness and saving Doctor’s bills.
