(Bening Klispatcb. "aUGU ST A, GA: Tuesday Evening, Feb. 16, 1858. Jtfcorr about that Tllegiayblc Ols* patch. As there has been considerable com plaint on account of the two versions of the cotton market brought by the Steamer Indian, we have thought pro per to publish the following correspond ence between a gentleman living in one of the upper counties, and the editor of this paper, r r .HP i i -ii-i i) Cm, Feb. 12,1858. Mb. Atkinson :— My Dear Friend :— I hopo when' you quote from the tele graphic despatches you will make a true statement. On I'esterday, you report ed an advance of l-4d. “ closing with a declining tendency to-day you report that it “ Closed buoyant.” If there is any understanding between the com mission merchants and your daily pa pers, I consider it an act of great injus tice to the farming interest. Belying upon your statement in yesterday's tel egraphic despatches, T sold my cotton and my lobs will be $l5O. You will please remit the amount by return mail and for thefuture keep (lark,” &c. B. F. C. nift-T. Augusta, Feb. 15,1858. B. F. o.—Mv Dear Sib Yours of Peb. 12tb, is before me, and I deem it due to myself,as well as the entire press of Augusta, to reply. At the same time permit me to say that Ido not find you on my list of subscribers, and therefore Ido not recognise your right to com plain of any information you may find in the Earning Dispidch. The telegraphic news is reported through the agent of the Associated Press. The Association for this divis ion of the South has an office and an Agent in Augusta, who receives dis patches and delivers them to the city papers. The iiewspapcrs have no more control over it than I have over the manage ment of your plantation. The Agents are gentlemen in whom the association have confidence. The agent here deliv ered the newsin question as he received it, and on receiving the second dispatch announcing the mistake, delivered it to the city papers. Their evening editions had gone into the country, and of course the error could not be rectified until the next day. I have no idea by whom the error was occasioned, hut 1 do not hesitate to assure you that there is not a press in the State which would countenance such an occurrence were it intentional in the reporter. You should remember that all are liable to make mistakes, and especially that the press has ten patrons among the farming community where it has one among tho merchants, and this alone should make you more cautious in be lieving, or intimating that there was a collusion between the press and the com mission men. It is to the interest of commission men to get all they can for cotton, and none are more anxious to have cotton bring good prices than the newspapers. 1 regret the occurrence of the er ror, because it tends to destroy confi dence In the telegraphic accounts, which are a valuable source of informa tion. I regret especially that you were led to lose so much by it; and hope should another mistake occur, that it will be in favor of the producer,and not of the ‘ ‘ commission men. ” So far as your request to remit the amount of your loss—slso—you will j excuse, me,, if you please. lam just at present affected with the. panics, but should I ever get mote than I can spend, for.give away nearer home, 1 rill cheer fully place the amount to your order. Your obedient servant, 8. A. ATKIXSON; Hints to Married Men. Peppergrass says that if he stays out j late at night, and wishes to avoid a | scolding or curtain lecture from Mrs. P. j he generally waits out till the “we. sma’ j hours ayontthe twal,” when the anger ' of his better half subsides into fears for. his personal safety. He goes out “on! business” with a promise to he home at nine. Half past nine Mrs. P. uneasy, j ten aggravated, half past nine positively enraged, and rehearses to herself an ad dress for Peppergrass’s especial edifica tion, filled with cutting reproaches ; eleven, vague uneasiness accompanied by an indefinite fear that “something! must have happened,” half pastcleven, nervous apprehonsiou—tears take the i place of withering gances, twelve o’- clock unendurable suspense. If she on ly knew the worst ; one o'clock is com- ] pi etelv worked up, has the “connip tion,” and is about going off the handle when Peppergrass arrives, throws her- ; self into his arms, overjoyed to see him, as she “ was so fraid some accident must have hagpened to him.” gjtf In the Louisiana Senate, notice lias been given of tho introduction of a bill to import five thousand negroes from the Coast of Africa. g*T It is said that Gen. Concha will this ; month send to Spain from Havana the sum of $60,000,000, part of which is , Jhe surplus of 1857. | Another better from Gov. Wise on the JEvaugn* education* Gov. Wise's letter in response to an invitation to attend the anti-Lecompton meeting, held in Philadelphia on the night of the Bth instant, makes nearly four columns in the Press newspaper of that city. The following is an abstract of tho positions assumed in the letter : Gov. Wise says that a careful review s of the President’s message constrains him to differ with the President in his choice. He protests against the mode “ in which the Lecompton Constitution - was pretended to be submitted asanti e republican and oppressive, and as ofien , sive to the self-respect and moral sense of a free people. He admits that the conduct of the Topekaites was violeut and unlawful, and thatjtheir opponents acted under lawful authority, up to the submission of the constitution to the ' people. But that has nothing to do s with the issue, is the Constitution an . act and deed of the people, and is the schedule republican. The wrong of the 1 Topekaites will hot justify the wrong of t the Lecompton couvcntion, nor cure the 8 defects of the Lecompton schedule, which though providing for its ratifica tion or rejection, was submitted for the ' approval alone, without allowing a vote - on its rejection. He .concludes that _ there was obviously a sinister and anti -5 republican purposo in thus giving an unfair election as to part of the consti i tution, with no election os to the whole. ] He denies the assertion of the President , that no people could have proceeded with more regularity in tho formation of a constitution than the people of Kansas have done. Tho people were not allowed a fair election at all. A fair election could not be held under the schedule as ap f pfcars from its face. He combats the i President's idea that the admission of Kansas would speedily end the agita ' tion in Congress and localize it in kan ; sas He declares that it never can be local. Again, ’lis all essential that the settlement shall he just, right and equal ■' and if not so, it is sure to be mtschiev • ous to that party snatching power witli i out right and doing wrong that good may come. The ulterior ellect of adopt fug the Lecompton Constitution, will be worse tban referring back the ques -1 tion. It will arraign the Democracy aDd the South for demanding more than is ri ,T ht it will return the chalice to our 1 own lips, when the Kansas question - again and again arises in our boundless , domain of Southern Territories ; it will drive away thousands of Democrats to raise the black Republican flag over the I eapitol in the next struggle for power, and then raise the last dread issue of disunion. . He concludes by addressing the Com mittee as the friends of Mr. Buchanan J and the Administration, who have his j best wishes and the warmest friendship, aud whom lie would save both from danger and defeat, lie trusts iu their i pure and patriotic motives, hut he re gards much more the Democracy of the South and the Union, and expresses anxiety for their fate, lor himself he I tears nothing, standing on the right in . spite of friends and foes. Capt. William V. Taylor, of the ' Xavy died at his residence in Newport on the 11th instant. gif’ The name Fanny Fern, it seems is very suggestive of blowing up. A Southern editor does not wonder that anything which bears that appellation should explode. Wonder if he has ever been a sufferer from a blowing up by Fanny Fern? gIT We earn from tlie Freeman's Jour nal that the Rev. Dr. McFarland lias been appointed Roman Catholic Bishop of Hartford, Ct.

Further from our Mexican Files. I The Courrier Francois states that Gen. i ! Doblado had imposed a forced loan of SIOO,OOO on Messrs. Jecker &.Cp., at Guanajuato, of SIO,OOO on M ine Perez Galvez, and of SIO,OOO on the inhabi tants generally. The French Minister had protested against this spoliation, on behalf of Jecker & Co. The Spanish Consul General Escalante had addressed a letter to the Eco Nation al, denying that the Spaniards of the metropolis had taken part in the con flicts against the late Government, at ] the capital, and argues that if they had, ! they would have a right to do so, with j the solo condition of foregoing their j citizenship of Spain. | Several parties who hud purchased ! property under the late Law-Lerdo, are ; reported to have voluntarily restored ! them. j Senor Mora y Villamil, has been ap pointed Comandante General of Artill | ery.

[communicated.] 1 | Waynesboro,’ Feb. 12th, 1858. i Mr. Editor : You will please allow . me a small space in your paper for the ] i purpose of calling the attention of those iu power, on the Augusta and Savannah railroad, to the fact that there is great discontent among planters shipping cot ton from this depot, either to Savannah or Augusta, in consequence of the great ami almost universal falling off of the ’ weights of cotton sent herefrom. Last 1 November 1 shipped twenty-four bales 1 to Savannah. I saw it weighed at the 1 depot, and must say it was weighed ■ fairly on the Scales, t It was sold in less ' than ten days. It lost twenty-two and ! a half pounds per bale. I then shipped - one hundred aud fifty-one bales to Au -1 gusta. They lost fifteen hundred and • ninety-six pounds. I shipped twelve ‘ baleSto Augusta, to a different factor. ! They lost ten and a half pounds per ’ hale. Some planters believe they are 1 swindled out of the weight in Savannah ! or Augusta ; but lam convinced that : the difficulty lies in the scales at this ; depot, for it is presumable that out of i so many factors whom cotton is shipped . to from this depot, some, at least, are honest. Ido not desire, either, to con ! vey the idea that the railroad authori i ties are dishonest; for I know them to ; be honorable men. The scales may | ■ have been perfectly correct when they i were first used, hut may have become ] - untrue by their constant exposure to ! • the weather and the action of oxygen t gas—the great destroyer both of organic I 1 and inorganic substances. I would most' > respectfully request the President of the 1 f road, with whom I am personally ac quainted, to look into this matter and! r see if the difficulty does not lie where I 1 think it does.
