iimi'mg iEfopattjj. 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 ? h ! 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 t i Pat’s Caution.—An Irishman, who v i was troubled with the toothache, deter- t mined to haveanoldoffenderextracted; a ! but there being no dentist near, he re- c ! solved to do the job himself, whereupon i he filled the excavation with powder, i • but being afraid to touch it .off, he put v a slow match to it, lighted it, and then j 1 run to get out of the way. ‘ BY TELEGRAPH Charleston Market. Charleston, Feb. 3, IP. M.—CUten— Sales to-tlay 1200 bales, at from 9 to 11 cents. Brisk demand at full prices. 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. Congressional. Washington, Feb. 2.—ln the Senate the message was received. Its refer ence was discussed, but no action taken. & In the House the printing deficiency . bill was defeated.

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 jspmal Itotirts. pf For Savannah.— -The Iron Steamboat Company’s Steamer W. 11.

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.

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. Bacon.
