Book Needed.
One would hardly think it possible
that there still exists a vacancy in our
libraries which the book-makers have
vet to fill. But such is the case in our
opinion. It is true that the mind and
.the morals of the country would be
much better conditioned if nine hun
dred and ninety-nine of every thousand
books now in existence had never been
written, or if their ashes could be scat
tered over our barren fields—as true of
school-books as of our miscellaneous
literature, and yet we want a new ,
school-book.
Ho science is thoroughly understood
Bitil first principles become axiomatic
familiarities— habits of the mind, so to
speak. Most minds fail to acquire even 1
a slight conception of science until they
are aided by elementary text books.—
This is quite as true of the science of ,
government as of any other. This sci
ince has a vast number of related top
ics each a science itself. Each of the
more important rights of the people, in
their political capacity ought to be com- ,
pletely understood in its basis, nature,
relations and method of preservation.
In society when the governed are not :
governing, it does not seem surprising ]
that the masses should be ignorant of
the nature and laws of the power over
them. It is of course the policy of des- ,
pots to keep their subjects in ignorance
of all that coerces them. But it is sur
prising and alarming to the friends of
republicanism, that in a nation like
ours, there should be an almost entire
and universal ignorance of the real na
ture of our government. It surprises
the reflecting mind, because, where the
people claim to be the source of all pow
er, one would naturally suppose a desire
10 exist of understanding the proper
and safe way to exercise such power.— (
Ho who effects the independence of be- ,
ing his own ruler, ought to feel an ex- (
a!ted pride in ruling himself well.— ,
Again, the prevailing ignorance upon
almost every subject of government,
alarms, because one sees in this country
nearly as good a field for the tyrant as
in those countries where the one-man
power is acknowledged. If this power
does not appear at the present time ip
the form of a Czar or of a military dicta
tor, it has already appeared in the pro
gress of demagogueism, the forerunner
of vassalage.
But not alone the mind of republicans
ought to be educated in the principles
of government. Their hearts, too,
should be taught to love freedom, and
detest despotism, to revere patriots and
hate tyrants. How wofully do we all
fail of these things.
And it is not from the stump, or on
the eve of elections, that the desired ed
ucation of our people is to be attained,
but in the school-room and by the fire
tide. Grey heads must not be the pu
pils. Fixed characters are not to be
moulded to new forms, nor furnished
with new springs of action. Our sons
and daughters must be tutored ones.—
He who has lived in ignorance of his
rights until the weight of many years is
upon him, will never become an unwa
vering defender of liberty in the au
tumn of life. Patriots and heroes were
ever made of children. And herein
tonsists in great measure the degenera
cy of our times. That the lioushold
•onversation turns not as often as of
old upon the characters and deeds of
our ancestors, upon the causes, objects,
thoughts and glories of our Revolution.
Ceasing to know these men, our people
are ceasing to value their legacy.
But we must hasten to make appli
cation of our remarks to a case in point.
The institution of Slavery is the distin
guishing feature in our society and in
our government. It separates us from
the world. Though ranked under the
general head of property, it is property
es »nch peculiar nature that it adds an
other to the list of interests, to he stu
died and comprehended that they may
be protected.
Tet, upon no subject, in the range of
thought, has there been, within the
last fifty years, a greater variety of
opinions. All sorts of notions, touch
ing its morality, its value, and its pros
pects, have been advanced. All sorts
of doctrines, touching the subject, have
been defended, abandoned, or revived
to suit the views of speculators, or pro
mote the aggrandisement of political
aspirants—and all this in the South,
when, if anywhere, the whole theory
and practice of the institution ought to
be understood and settled. Wo often
hear the remark, the North knows no
thing of the matter, but it may well be
questioned if nineteen-twentieths of us
know much more about it ourselves,
and for the plain reason that we have
never studied the subject as a science.
All that has been written on tlic subject
is to be found among the other crudities
•f Congressional “Buncomb" or in
the mu6ty law books of theorism*
'The institution of negro slavery, as
it existß in the United States, deserves
to be treated as a science. As a politi
cal and governmental question, it is the
paramount one of the day in the South,
overriding and embracing al! others
By its solution Republicanism will learn
its fate and a Continent its destiny.
Now we think a book is needed to
treat of this science—an elementary
book, lilted by its style for the com
prehension of the children who are to
■ inherit the institution. We want it
“adapted to the use of schools,’ not
colleges, but every school in the land.
In making this book we must have
■ the aid, first, of the Historian. He
should briefly state the facts of slavery
in other centuries and in past ages, and
then give a fuller account of African
slavery in this country. Thus the way
would be prepared for the Theologian,
who should set forth the pro-slavery ar
gument as drawn from and founded on
the Bible. Next, the lawyer should
point out the laws which establish the
condition of the negro among us, which
work the rights of the slaveholding
States in regard to that species of pro
perty. The ethnologist should point out
the peculiarities of the African race.
The physician should notice,if necessary,
their diseases as a race. The practical
planters should suggest the best methods
of manging them on the land.
The tendency of slavery to render per
manent a Republican form of Govern
ment should be pointed out, and the
blessings which flow from the relations
of master and slave must be dwelt
upon.
Lastly, the whole must be reduced to
form, and adapted to the school room
by a competent teacher.
A first book will be followed by a
bitter one, on the same subject, until
our people will, in a few years, compre
hend a subject, upon which their ideas
are uow chaos. Then, if it he true,
that there is good in African slavery,
the good will be appreciated and we
may reasonably hope that it will be de
fended.
Who will write the book? *
Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.
Madison, March 3d. 1858.
The Superior Court is in session, hut
the weather is so severe that very few
persons are out, and there is a special
dearth of newspaper agents, venders of
rat poison, and other court-ground no
tables ; the lawyers only are out in full
feather. The attendance on yesterday,
sale day, was very limited. But little
property was exposed for sale, the prin
cipal portion being the goods and chat
tels of “Dm Chock prr,” who not long
since left for parts unknown.
Among all the follies of the age, now
becoming so fashionable—among which
we may number suicides, drinking
liquor, going to Congress, and a few
5 oilier indiscretions, there is none that
’ pays so poorly, and is more prevalent, j
' and less respectable than running away.
And it is strange that any man of com- j
' mon sense should resort to so cowardly j
' and silly away of getting rid of embar
rassment or escaping a had reputation, j
i It is notorious that rumor runs ahead
-1 of any ordinary means of locomotion,
■ |and is scarcely behind the telegraph.—
- If a man lias been guilty of only a slight
- pecadillo, and goes West to escape its j
3 odium, he will find that his reputation,
* like the agent ofa menagerie, has gone
5 ahead, and au indiscretion, gathering
- block ness a it travels—will have the;
5 victim stamped as a renegade, even if
! lie seek out a retreat among the Rooky j
’ Mountains.
The world is not half as bad as many I
3 would make it—and if men who are un
-1 fortunate, ivoiiid “ pick their flints and j
* try again," instead of running away, j
1 taking poison, or blowing out their j
f brains—it would appear to much better
f advantage. The fault is oftener in a
> bad heart or a weak head, than in the
■ world ; and it is time grumblers and!
3 renegades were made public examples j
of ; and I begin to think it the duty of j
- the press to take the matter in hand, i
■ and expose the follies and vices that so
- mar our social system, and that seem \
ito he on the increase every where.— I
1 The records of the courts ought to be
3 held up to the gaze of the people, that
■ men might learn to fear the law, and
■ that the public might be made familiar
- with those who violate it. A number :
’ of interesting and important cases are
on trial here. Yesterday the case of Mrs. I
* Jones vs. Jones, for divorce, was tried!
3 and a divorce granted ; the ground al- j
f leged was adultery -and Mr. Jones, now
' about sixty years of age is relieved from j
- all marital restraint. The case of Grit- !
8 of Savannah, charged with conspira- j
e cy to rob and burn the store of C. W.
1 Richter, was called to-day, and again'
put off. Mr. Griffin has been regarded j
1 a very honorable man ; hut the circum
> stances place him in a suspicious posi- i
' tion. It seems that he made proposi-j
> tion to a Mr. W. T. Jones, then of Mad-1
‘ ison, to enter the store and take out all
the valuable goods—set fire to the bal
ance, and meet him at Millen and divide j
- the spoils. Jones entered into the plan, i
’ an( l carried on a correspondence with j
Griffin, which he submitted to parties
here, until he had got Griffin complete- j
f ly committed, when he had him arrest-^
* ed.
i A man named Scroggins was convict- \
ed to-day for stealing wheat, and will
i be sent to the Penitentiary.
The Masonic Hail caught fire last
night from sparks, on the roof, but was

of five minutes in suppressing it would j

property.

True, doubtless—hut the Weekly
i7ispat< :iTTs only a dollar and fifty cents
for the same period, and is therefore
“ cheaper than the cheapest.”
Burglars.
The Atlanta Intelligencer says that a
number of robberies have been cornmit

, Dalton and Calhoun, and suggests that
a band of burglars are making their
way down the country. We trust our
, vigilant police will put their house in
order, and give them a cordial reception
if they come this way.

- Geo. Stovall Sentenced to be Hung.
George Stovall, who sometime since j
plead guilty, at New Orleans, of the |
murder of Mary Durand, was broughtj
out for sentence on Saturday last.— ;
| The prisoner, who, at one time, was a
t clergyman, fc a man about fifty years of
r j age, and of respectable and intelligent
1 i appearance, above the medium height
f I and, it is stated, appeared to be in ex
- j cellent health. He was carefully dress- j
1 ed. His black coat, white vest and
i white handkerchief were rather observ
ed able under the circumstances. When
_ asked if he had anything to say, he
handed the court a letter, the substance
g of which we find in the Picayune :
j He (the writer) denied that his repu-
tation in Mississippi was bad,and assert
ed that he had successfully conducted
several educational institutions in tliai
State. After arriving in this city h<
remained hut a short time, and a
length went to Texas, where he was so
! awhile at the head ofa male and fe
| male academy, in the town of Hunts
ville—ln 1818, he returned to Nei
Orleans, and in 1850 got married. Bu
his hopes of domestic bliss proved de
ceptive, and in a short time he and hi
wife separated and he fell into habits c
j intemperance.
He then went to Nicaragua, where h
became a commissary under the com
mand of Lockridge, and after his returi
to Ne .v Orleans he became more reck
less and intemperate than ever. Pinal
j ly he fell in with Mary Ray Durand,and
| for a time they ‘ ‘lived and loved togeth
! er,” both being comparatively happy.
But she soon became as intemperate as
himself, and one night she informed
! him that she intended to leave him and
J enter on a life of public prostitution.—
j The idea of such a fate for her he could
not brook, and to save her from a “low
j er deep ” of shame he slew her, and he
! asked of the court all the mercy which
I could be extended to him under the
! circumstances.
The court then with a so]-minty due tel
tlie occasion, proceeded to pass on th<|
i prisoner the sentence of death, whicll
! sentence is to be put into execution at
| such time as the Executive of the Statil
I may appoint. |
gf?”Gov. Wise has written another
| letter to a Convention in Indiana, in
j which he excuses himself from being
I present on account of the celebration at
! Richmond the 22d. He communicates
| copies of his letters to the mass meet-
I I ings at Philadelphia and Tammany
i Hall, New York, on the subject of Kan
| sas, and says :
‘‘l can only add, that I will know no
-1 sections in administering the powers
[ | and duties of our Federative system;
. i that as a Virginian, as an American, as
; a Democrat, as a republican and a free
man, and as a follower of the fathers of
! the Republic, ‘I will Montand nothing
| but what is right, and will submit to
nothing that is wrong;’ that T will
| submit to nothing that is wrong,’ be
\ cause I ’will demand nothing but what
iis right.’ As a Southern man, a slave
! holder, I willr.sk for no injustice pnd
take title by no fraud, and demand no
j inequality, for the very reason that I
j will demand to he myself protected
against fraud, force, injustice and ine
; quality. The justice rule alone can pro
; tect all, and self-government must be
j preserved to the people, am! the organ
! ized people must lawfully be allowed to
; judge for themselves of their own fuu
jdamcntal institutions.

The Great Problern
Solved !—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR-
IsTAL.— I The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
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
paralyzed %nd unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tie-doloreux
| or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
’l rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
‘ paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
! ten ible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
I nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
disability arising from the unnatural condition
■of the wonderful machinery whieb connects ev
■ery member with the source of sensation, mo
■ion and thought—derives immediate benefit
■Vom the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
■nvigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
■jrganizntion.
■ Females who have tried it are unanimo s in
■declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
■woman has ever received from the hands of
■medical men.
I Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
■mediate aud aston‘shing effect upon the appetite.
■While it renews the strength of the digestive
■ powers it creates a desire for the solid materia!
I which is to be subjected to their action. As an
■ appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopin.
I If long life and the vigor necessary to its en-
Ijoyment arc desirable, this medicine is indeed of
I precious wortli
I Its benefleial effect* are not conGned to either
I sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
I wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
| man of business, the victim of nei%ous depre*-
I sion, the individual suffering from general dc-
I bility or from the weakness of a single organ
Iwillall find immediate and permanent reli ffrorn i
I the use of this incomparable renovator. To :
I those who hare a predisposition to paralysis it j
I will prove a complete aud unfailing safe-guard
I against that terrible milady. There are many
| perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu-
I tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
lof medicine. Let not even those despair. The
I Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
I lercncc to the causes, and will not only remove
Ithe di-rorder itself, but rebuild the broken con-
Istitution
