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 extinguished befu e it got much head- i way. The wind was high, and a delay;' of five minutes in suppressing it would j * i ■ 1 have caused the destruction of much property. > Cotton is selling here at 11 to 11 1-4 ' cents. A.

The accident occurred to the up-train, between All ston and Unionville. Judge O’Neai.i. was among the passengers. JIT' A newspaper, once a week, fifty two weeks, for two dollars , is the cheapest thing any man can buy. 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 . ted during the last week in Ringgold, , 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. L Editorial CUattgc. * R. W. Gibbes, M. D., has retired ' from the editorial charge of the Caroli ’ man, and has been succeeded by Frank > lin Gaillard, Esq., of the Winsboro’ ' Register. - 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.
