Abating .Dispatch. ~ ~AtTGTJ STA.GA: Thursday Evenlnp, Feb. 25, 1858. Value ot the L.ecompton Conatltutioai to Slavery. We wish not to be understood from anything we have written,or may write, ■bout the Lecompton Constitution, that we should regard its recognition by Con gress as any victory to the South, or as jkely in any manner to prop the totter ing fortunes of Slavery, We insist that fiie refusal of Congress to acknowledge that instrument as the act and deed of Kansas sovereignty would bo more flagrant than any of the acts of outra geous tyranny yet perpetrated against the insulted, but lethargic South. Vet we cannot see in what way such an ac knowledgement would at all contribute to render permanent the institution of ilavery. As a question of principle— m pure abstraction, —we demand the Immediate and unconditional recogni. •on, by Congress, of Kansas as a State the Union. But we should be per fectly willing to see the principle dis carded, to know that the now in •hoate insult to the South had been completed and hurled at her, upon the direct issue, by Congress,—perfectly willing we should he, if we could only know the people of the South would then be stung to the quick, that their mow stagnant blood would then begin *o course their veins with some of the •Id Revolutionry fire. It would in fiuth be no greater insult to the South if the Lecompton Constitution were re jected, avowedly because it is pro-slave tj, than that it is that there should he a set of men found in this land who dare to talk of a rejection upon such a pretext. The iusult and contumely al ready heaped upon the slaveholding fitates are incable of increase ; but if •nr Black Douglican friendsof the North ■an contrive to put them in a form, or ■pply them in a way,by which they will burn [deeper into Southern flesh, we will thank them to do so, if we can be assured that thereby Southern eyes will be opened to see in all their dismal darkness, the dangers that imperil louthern liberty and independence. While we never will cease, but with life, to denounce every Northern man' to an enemy, who, because it is pro slavery, shall aid in or consent to the defeat of the Lecompton Constitution, — ■till we don’t care a fig for its adoption. That is a contest, in which victory can be hut an empty victory. And right now, if we had the power, we would keep Kansas out of the Union under any sort of a Constitution ; for this plain reason. The majority of her people are free-soil •rs and we do not feel willing to let them put two more free-soilers in the Senate, nor to allow the Black Bepubli «an force in the House to be increased. With her present population we would keep Kansas out of the Union forever if we could. he area of slave territory cannot he teased by the admission of Kansas to i Union, under any Constitution. Slavery will have no more friends, un der one Constitution in Kansas than under another. But the friends that Slavery already has in other States might become warmer, more vigilant and determined if the Lecompton Con stitution were to be defeated. It is altogether true that in the con test for principles, the people of the South have forgotten to inquire wheth er any practical question was involved. In that contest the North has never yet yieldeda principle until she has become satisfied that it would be worth nothing to the South in practice. We have seen and heard the doctrine of Non-Intervention by Congress lauded to the skies ns invaluable to the South. But wc have yet to learn that it has given to Slavery an inch of land, or a moment of peace, or an lota of safety. Os what advantage to us is Non-Inter-j vention by Congress to Slavery, when j the people of the North liavo the will and the numbers to intervene, to drive ilaves out of every new territory and to fill them up with free labor? We are fighting for the extension of slave ter ritory', because we regard that extension i as essential to the performance and safe- j tj of the institution. This is the only 1 principle that we know of worth light-! ing for. Therefore we say that we would as soon see Congress enact a Wil vuot Proviso or anything of the kind, as to see the North have the ability to j seize upon the land of the nation and i make freesoil by hordes of white labor ers. Where is the difference to us that Congress should forever inhibit slavery in our unsettled territories, or that the people of the North should flock thith er in such numbers as always to make ■on-slave holding States * Our politicians, our papers and our people are wofully mistaken when they say or fancy that the freesoil sentiment •f the North is fanaticism. Abolitionism was fanaticism in its early days ; but freesoilism is cool, calculating, well grounded jiolicy. To the laboring mas toe of the great North and West who wish dear labor and cheap lands, free soilism is hard common sense ; just us good sense, as friendship for slavery is good sense in the slave owners of the South who need cheap labor to render valuable their lands, and a plenty of land to render valuable negro labor. — Let southern men understand that the question at issue between themselves and the North is not a light hatched from the brain of crazy Northern Minis ters and nursed by the sentimentality of sick women. It is a battle offered by Northern hordes who mean to overrun the fields of the South as their proto types rushed down upon the fields of Southern Europe. Bah ! we spit upon Non-Intervention by Congress, unless they will undo and repeal the first great act of tyranny by which they circumscribed the vitality and extent of Slavery, when they for bade the importation of slaves from Af rica, and laid the hand of iron despo tism, for the first time upon South.ru Commerce. Who would give a pinch of the meanest snuff for Non-Interven tion, if Non-Intervention will not make Slave States ? Not we, for one! What a farce to talk about a repeal of the Missouri Compromise, as an act of jus tice to the South, when there is no re peal of that law which, more effectual ly than any other law could have done, circumscribes the area of slavery. Such justice is the justice of the highwayman who returns the purse after rifling it of its contents. What can more effectually place bounds to the institution of slavery than the want of negroes ? Does anybody expect to see Slave States when white men stand ready to rush in and take the land~which they wish to cultivate with their own hands? We shoald think not! Right hero let us figure a little: The white population of the North in 1850 was over 13,309,889. The per cent of increase from 1840 to 1850 was 38 per cent., or 3 8-10 per cent, per year. At this rate the free States can retain their present popula tion and yet send into new territories annually 505,773 souls—enough to ad mit at least five new States every year. Upon the same kind of calculation the Slave States can only send off about 200,000 per year. Does anybody won der that the South is out-voted in the territories whenever the free-soilers choose to voto ? Could it be otherwise ? Is the North not able to make Free States ? Will she fail to do so ? , We say, then, what is the Lecompton 1 , Constitution to us, with a frec-soil popu lation under it ? They have got the ' 3 land and let them take the Constitu tion, say we. As Sewaiid says, the bat tle is fought and the victory lost to us j in Kansas. Such will he the history of the rest of our common territory, unless the men of the South rise up and go to j work. What do Douglass and his min ions care about Congressional interven tion, when they can raise ten free-soilers I to every one slaveholder in the territo rics ? Popular intervention is a more fatal weapon with which to drive the South from her inheritance. 1 If the institution of Slavery is worth i . more than the Union, and if its exten tion is the sine qua non of the continued , existence, then its extension is worth j more than the Union. We intend in due time to point out how it can be ex tended —an object which we will labor j to accomplish, even at the price, if need t be, of the Union. * ’ er The Legislature of Kentucky, ’ previous to adjournment, passed a reso- i lution to raise a regiment of volunteers ! for the Mormon war. ggf* In compliance with the request ' of a large number of citizens, Gen. Wm. Walker addressed the people of Nash ; ville on Tuesday last. nr On Sunday night, says the Romo Courier , Fed, a negro boy, belonging to i Mrs. Choice had an affray with a servant of Judge Burrell, in which the latter was very severely, and it is thought fa i tally, injured. The fight took place i near Judge Burrell’s house, and his boy’s skull was fractured, his arm bro .jken, and otherwise injured. Fed was 1 1 ariested and lodged in the eallaboose, I but, as we are informed, a compiomiso . was affected between the owners, and , Fed was taken out and sent off on the train Monday afternoon. J i«r The negro boy that was shot ! while standing before the Choice House, , | in Rome, on the night of the 11th inst., | died last Friday night. The parties ar . I rested were acquitted.

The twenty second was celebrated in Athens with much spirit. The “Athens Guards ” were out in the morning, and gave a ball at night at the Lanier House which our friend Reese, of the Bamitr, declares—and he ought to know—was “ a scene of genuine, undisguised en joyment.” The Anniversary oration be fore the Phi-Kappa Society of Franklin College was delivered in the College Chapel, by A. F. llodo, Esq., of Ala bama. On Tuesday they had an “ out and out ” snow storm, as we learn from the Banner. Signor Blitz had good houses on Mon day and Tuesday evenings, in spite of the bad weather, and, if we are to judge from the newspaper notices, gave much satisfaction. Mr. F. W. Thomas, we regret to learn, has been suffering ever since his arrival at Athens, from neuralgia and the ef fects of chloroform, administered to him in Augusta, the evening before he left, for the purpose of extracting a tooth. He lectures in Athens to night. w The New York Fort reads Senator Sewakii out of the Black Republican party, and accuses him of the most un principled “ log-rolling ’’ in his Sena torial career.

We find the following despatch, da ted the 2Ctl), at St. Louis, in the New York Herald of Sunday. The hotel was burned at three o’clock on Saturday morning: The burning of the Pacific Hotel proved a much more terrible calamity than was reported this morning. About one hundred persons were in the house when the fire broke out, forty or fifty of whom are missing. The following arc the names of the persons known to be killed, so far ; Messrs. Bruce, McKnite, Burkheart, Wurst, Paul, Sterrett, Mrs. Jenny Jones, and child—all of St. Louis. Mr. John son, of Chicago. Henry Bochester and J. H. Hart Strong, of Rochester, N Y. .Mr. William Saunders, Mr. Taylor, Geo. Crane, and Miss Jones—residence un known. Charles Davis, Wm. Cunning ham, of the Terre Haute and Alton Railroad. Mr. and Mrs.llubbard. Also tune persons in one room, whose names are unknown, and a negro hoy. The following are seriously injured : James F. Geary, reporter of the St. Louis Leader. Elhew Hayes, of N. Y.; Jonathan Jones, Mr. Town Wm. Tur ner, and Mr. Sharpe, watchman of the house. The fire caught in the drug store un der the hotel, and spread so rapidly that the stairways were enveloped in flames before the inmates could be roused. All egress was thus cut off ex cept through the windows. Many ’ leaped from the third story and were horribly mangled or instantly killed, and many more were unable even to ; reach the' windows, and were burned to death in their own rooms. Several more bodies are supposed to be in the ruins, and hundreds of excited men are energetically engaged in removing the rubbish and searching for them. The wounded were promptly taken charge of by their friends or sent to the hospital, where their injuries were im mediately attended to. Several of the wounded cannot possibly recover. The loss of property is upwards of $50,000. Poverty. Start, not at the labor doom of hon est poverty; it is to poverty that we : are indebted for the discovery of a new world ; it made Franklin a philosopher, Hogarth, a painter, and Napoleon a 1 conqueror of Europe. The mightiest [ minds that ever astonished the civilized world, were reared in the vale of pov : erty; that was their incentive to act, their stimulus to glory and immortal ity. Pine not, then, at your lot, if you ; be poor and virtuous; a large fortune to a giddy youth is the most painful judg ment an indulgent heaven can inflict upon man. The inordinate love of wealth, so fatally prevalent in modern times, when, with a great majority, riches are a test of respectability, and cash a token of worth and virtue, a! t cloak to screen from crime—is worse than blear-eyed famine, more fatal than ' the fostering folds of the purple pesti : lence. Mourn not, then that you are poor—push your faculties into a holier sphere, and reap abundant stores of mental gain in the extended field of an enlightened mind.— Fisk.

There were some ’ six or eight children of various ages; p one of these a beautiful, black eyed, graceful little creature of five or six years. I saw her, while the tumult and ! toil of all description rang around, while arms were Hashing, cannon roll ing, men hurrying to and fro, horses ] dashing at wild speed, the air filled I with shouts and oaths, and all was as if quiet and peace were banished from the earth, half sitting, half lying upon a grassy knoll, her head resting upon a white pet dove, and one little arm thrown around the bird as if to protect it from all harm.” What a lesson is taught here 1 What a picture for the painter and the poet! See innocence personified in that sweet child 1 See peace represented in that beautiful dove! How they stand out the bright, the glorious figures in that scene, where war, with its array of ban ners and marshaled men, and gaudily dressed officers on caparisoned horses, fresh from the battle field, their hearts filled with the swelling thoughts of the victory they have won, and all glowing with the ambitious desire that becomes ! the heroes they have shown themselves . to be- how that sweet child and beau tiful dove shine with the light, that is from Heaven, in that scene, where war fills up and darkens all the back ground!

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining element, is relieved byasinglo course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to the sufferer, while his digestive organization was paralyZetland unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution creatod in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arising from the unnatural condition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried if are unanimous in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the hands of medical men. Morse's Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. While it renews the strength of the digestive powers it creates a desire for the solid material which is to be subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmaeopia. If long life and the vigor necessary to its en joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to either sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general de bility or from the weakness of a single organ will all find immediate and permanent reli ffrom the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard against that terrible malady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion that they think themselves beyond the reach of medicine. Let not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re crence to the causes, and will not only remove the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de-1 s'ruction, fear of Insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe- ! males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from whatever can# arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to he placed on human testimony, absolute ly infallible.
