(Betting flispattb. AUGUSTA, GA: y r nln> Bvenliip. The Manchester Market. In the telegraphic report of the con dition of the Manchester market, pub lished in our paper yesterday evening, and brought by the steamship Canada, a very glaring mis-statement occurred. Instead of “Manchester advices were favorable, and all qualities of goods had declined,” the sentence s lO,l ' have read: “Manchester advices were favorable, and all qualities of goods had slightly advanced Progress of the Cause. While we have not as yet discussed editorially, the proposition now before the public, of reviving, under suitable regulations, the African Slave Trade still we have said enough to show that we are the friends of that movement.- We intend at our leisure to consider at length the arguments pto and con, hut for the present shall confine ourselves to a view of the battle-field upon which the fortunes of the world, of its liberty, and of the negro race are at stake. Three years ago but one or two of the first class journals of the country sverc avowed advocates of Revival. With three exceptions Southern papers were either silent upon the subject, or only spoke, that, as it is likely to turn out, they might put themselves on the re cord as early enemies of a measure which will receive in a short time the approbation of the united South. Some editors have, perhaps, been working under the impression that the time had not come, to turn popular atten tion in that direction. Such men must wake soon, in our judgement, if they would “be iu at the death.” Scarce a year since, the Speakerof the House of Representatives offered a reso lution, which was adopted, declaring it unwise and inexpedient to re-open the trade. Now, we believe that a majori ty of Southern members in Congress would decline to sustain such a resolu tion. One of our city cotemporanes express ed the gratifictaion of the editors, upon the adoption of Mr. Obk’s lesolution; but to-day we know many friend- and readers of that journal who would be glad to know that its influence would be used to bring about the proposed re vival. The last Southern Commercial Con vention did a nohie work in the premi ses and we look to see in the labors of that body at its next meeting further and stronger evidences of the fact that the revivalists are gaining in numbers, and in courage. But not alone in the South do we find reasons for congratulation. In the North, in England and in France there is a growing and expanding notion that slavery is a physical, moral and reli gious blessing to the negro *, that com merce, all the interests of the white mail and of humanity in general .demand that a race who can work where no other race can, who are fitted by nature to do what must he done, and what no one else can as well do, ought to be made to perform their part in the economy of the world. We do not expect much by way of willing assistance from the North—nothing politically—something by the force of individual opinion and countenance. But the best part of public opinion in England has already endors ed the principle of slavery. The gov ernment of that country is pro-slavery in fact, though not avowedly so. They are not, to he sure, friendly to the in stitution iu the slaveholding States of this Union, but they find themselves in such a position that they are obliged to lend the principle their countenance and support. The products of slave la- 1 bur they must have ; so much they ad s mit. They are now sceki ig to deprive ) the South of a monopoly in the products e of that labor, by the subterfuge of the 1 Apprentice System Their friendship 1 is one of rivalry, whether it will even- li tuate in good or evil to us, we cannot 1 say. The same may be said of France. Both these governments are commit- 1 ted to the slave trade, under the cloak v of apprenticeship, through their organs ‘ and through their action. We are glad ( of that, not because we believe in the 1 system, for we do not, but because we ' regard that system as the entering : wedge which is yet to open Africa to a legitimate, humane and profitable traffic in slaves and the products of their la bor. We have no doubt the system will he abandoned as soon as the public opinion of those countries can be made to look upon the subject in its true color. And air. ad/ the step lias been taken in one o the States. Tiouisiuna has chartered a cc mpatiy whose object is to procure labor from Africa. We are glad of that too, it shows that our people • are beginning to see v. hat are the great, towering of the South. To lead the minds of the people to sound views upon this matter, is now a l rent duty of journalists. We desire to see every new-papt r in the land take this snl jeet in hand, to trea* in all its length and breath. We d nut ask them to take our side; if we are wrong Set us aright; hut we predict a revolu tion ; its beginning is upon us—it has » ' # come on witli rapid strides. The hostil ity of the North is only spurring it on, only driving our people to the inquiry, “what shall we do to secure ourselves and our property against the attae s o Frcesoilism ?” The answer which we make is this : “If you wish to keep Freesoilers and free-labor from your ter ' ritories, fill them up with slaveholdeis • and slave labor.” The common sense of sensible men precludes the necessity of our going on to say that the number of slaveholders will be greatest when we have the largest- number of slaves at the lowest price, in the country, and that the slave labor can only take the place of free labor when the former is cheapest. It is true we often meet men who will not see an inch in advance of their noses, who dread depreciation of value in the negroes we already have. They also fear that cotton will become a drug in the market, and such things. We are going to write on this subject for their express benefit, because they are clever men and good citizens and deserve to have their doubts cleared up. We say there is to he a revolution; but, also, there is to he a hard fought battle. Seward is mistaken when he says the battle is over. It is to he fought on new ground. The alterna tive of the slave trade, or disunion, is to he offered that gentleman and his party. No question that he will make a hard fight ; hut life or death to the South is inthis matter. She cannot yield but to her destruction. The necessity of Union to the North will compel her to yield and the South will triumph, we believe. Delay in this matter will be fatal to the South. She must do her work ere she is surrounded and overpowered by the masses of Freesoilers that are over running the common territory, each year increased five hundred thousand in number. Amusements In Edgefield. The Thespian corps, of the Edgefield Lyceum, have engaged Miss Maiua Rainsford and Miss A nr. link Lonsdale to assist in a series of dramatic enter tainments, which they propose giving during the coming season. We are ac- 1 quainted with these talented voung la- ' dies by reputation, and congratulate onr Edgefield friends on their good for tune. We should be pleased to have Miss Rainsford favor an Augusta audience with her recitation of “Hiawatha.” Georgia Items. A correspondent of the Bainbridge l Argus , at Hawkinsville states that on : Tuesday, the3dinst., Beverly A.

John Miller, Esq., a prominent citi ' zen of Thomas county, and Brayton Singlteary, Esq., deputy sheriff of that 1 county, have recently died. 1 Two hoys, some fifteen or sixteen years 1 jof age, says the Cartersville Express, 0 jwere on a hunting excursion, near Alla e jtoona, in Cass county,- on the 4th inst., 0 ! when one of them by the name of f ' iHannje, accidently shot the other one, ’ by the name of Walldrup, through the 1 head, killing him instantaneously.— ’ Hannie was tried on the sth inst., and ' acquitted.

Special Carrespondence of the Dispatch. Athens, Ga , March 8, 1858. Editors Dispatch :—Having attended Daniclsvillc Court, and seeing a man j sentenced to the Penitentiary for four years for stealing an old gun, I le:t this i evening on an old worn out hack for i this place, it snowing like blazes. 1 , cannot see why the mail contractors do | not furnish better stages for travelers j than they do from Anderson, C. H., « South Carolina, to Athens. They are i most awful, they let in both snow and i wind at every crevice. I was very well ( diverted at some of the passengers this evening, calling on the diiver to “calk up the craks” in the old hack with some of the old shirts Tyner, at Mad Don Springs, had sent to the paper mill. The hack driver said he could not take Mr. Tyner's dilapidated linen for such a purpose, but if mortar in the road would do any good, he would see what virtue there was in it. So he halt ed at the next station and daubed up the cracks with the red mud, which made the old back very comfortable to this place. ’ It has been snowing all this evening. ' the ground is now white and it is yet 1 snowing. Every boy and negro was out ? this evening, in Athens, snow balling. As Athens is not yet able, with thirty live hundred population to support ’ lamps, you must excuse haste and an • inch candle to write by. 1 would advise the Lanier House, one of the principal hotels in this village, to import a cargo of lamps for passen gers and correspondents. Yours, &c., Buck Horn. [The above was intended tor our paper J of yesterday, but was crowded out.—Ed. THE LATEST HEWS.! BY TELEGRAPH Majority Report of tlie Selec t Com mittee of Thirteen to Investigate Kansas Affairs. Washington, March 11.—Mr. Ste phens endeavored yesterday, hut with out success, to introduce the report ex pressive of the opinions of a majority of the Kansas investigating committee. The report commences by saying that the subject matter to which attention should be directed, was— -Ist. The law for taking the census of the people. 2d. The.lnw for calling the conven tion. 3d. The registry of the voters, and the apportionment under it. 4tli. The assembling of the conven tion and its journal. sth. The Constitution, so made. 6th. The official vote on the ratifica tion of the subject submitted. 7. The committee filed, not deeming it material, the act of December last, j providing for a vote, for or against the slavery clause on the 4th of January. 8. The official announcement of that vote, and 9. The written statement of Gen. Cal houn iu relation to the registry of votes, etc., (but which sheds no light on the subject.) The report says that these facts show great regularity and strict conformity to law', amfthat no Stateheietofore ap plying for admission has shown a clean er record. No objection to fthe admission_of; Kansas arises on the usual inquiries | first, as to the application—secondly, j as to the regularity of the proceedings— | and,thirdly, whether the Constitution, is republican in form. The report then answers the objec tions, going very fully into a reply to Gov. Walker’s argument, founded on; his assumption that the validity of every J State Constitution depends on its hav-i ing received the sanction of a popular J vote. This assumption is denied, as: not being sustained hv principle or au thority. “Sovereignty,” Gov. Walker says, “is inalienable, and rests exclu sively in the people.” This is granted, but the report says it does not follow j that soverign power cannot be delega ted. The formation of a Constitution requires the exercise of sovereign pow er ; hut so does the commonest act of legislation. If the one can- he delega ted, so can the other. All the Consti tutions of the old States were made by , conventions without ratification, except , that of Massachusetts. The Constitu tion of the United States was ratified . by State convention, and never by the . popular vote. The amendments to it , are to he concurred in by the State leg islatures, and not by the popular vote, to give them validity. If Gov. Walk er’s doctrine is correct, we should be without State Constitutions Qr laws in half of the States of the Union. The objection that an enabling act is nece -- sary is also answered, and shown to he untenable, both in principal and au thority. The question relative to the registry and apportionment is very fully trea ted. The charge that nineteen coun ties were disfranchised is completely an swered. There are but thirty-four or ganised counties in Kansas —twenty-one of these were represented. Nine of the thirteen unrepresented counties have very little population; in seven of them not a vote was cast at the January election against the Constitution. In two others of the nine, less than one hundred votes were thrown; and in the four remaining, namely : Franklin, Anderson, Coffee, and Breckinridge, there were but eleven and thirty-five. In these four counties the officers were prevented from making a registry. The report also shows, from the reg istry and apportionment, together with the official returns, that at the 4th of January election, the five counties of Leavenworth, Atchison’, Douglas, Doni phan and Jefferson, east five thousand one hundred and eighteen votes, which is a majority of the whole vote cast throughout the Territory against the Constitution—and yet all these coun ties were registered and represented in the Convention, having thirty-six of the sixty delegates of which the Con vention was composed. If it be true that the opponents of the Constitution were so largely in the majority in those counties, and so violent in their opposi tion, why did they not elect men to from a Constitution more to their li king? They had within four votes of two-thirds of the Convention, why, then, did they fail to act at the jfroper , time? Their .refusal, therefore, did not invalidate the just, fair and legal action >f the Convention. The resolution under which the com mittee was appointed directed them to enquire whether the Lecomptmi Consti tution is acceptable and satisfactory to the people? The reply to this is, that the only correct test is the ballot box, and such an expression of the popular will as is there given at the proper time! and place, according to law. By this test the Constitution was adopted by an overwhelming majority of those who joined in the election. These only can be considered as the bona fide citizens of Kansas. Others, who abstained, are I mala fide residents, who went to Kansas j for mischief and strife. They are self-;; acknowledged outlaws, nnd are not to fee considered as constituent elements of j community or society, against which, they are in open rebellion, llut, on the. 4th of January, at . the election for State j officers under the Constitution, morej than twelve thousand voters in Kansas j did go to the polls, and thus showed j conclusively that at least four-fifths of j the voters of that Territory were will ing to vote for the election of State offi-; cers under the Constitution This shows that the Constitution was not on ly acceptable, hut that it has been ac cepted by at least four-fifths of the vo-1 ters of that Territory, though not en tirely satisfactory to all of them. The committee declined to go into an investigation of the alleged frauds at the January election for State officers for want of jurisdiction of the House over the subject. They say they can no more ' investigate frauds relating to the elec tion of State officers in Kansas than in : | any other State. ThoSe matters are to -1 be inquired into by other appropriate le ! gitimate tribunals. If the seat of the j member of Congress elected to this - j House be contested on the ground of : alleged frauds, the House would have '! jurisdiction over that question ; but not as to frauds in the election of Governor ; \ or members of the legislature of Kansas. The report concludes with a recom ’ mendation for the admission of the ’ State of Kansas, in pursuance of the views of the President, believing that ' the welfare and prosperity of the peo | pie of Kansas, as well as the general j | welfare, peace and harmony of the ! whole Union, will thereby be promoted.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR; ■ • ttlAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach . * has lost the power of duly converting food into a ! life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single j course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric fluid re acquires its solvent power, aud the crude nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to the sulferer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created iu ftic system, the basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux j or ordinary headache, afliioted with vague ter rors wakened by periodical lit-, threatened with * I paralysis, borne down aud dispirited by that j terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack ol nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain , or disability arising from the uuuaturaleouditiou of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo tiou and thought—derives immediate benefll from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous urguuiz-itiou. Females who have tried it are unammo s in declariug the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the ha ds ol medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, ini mediate aud 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 I’harmacopia. If long lile and the vigor necessary to its en joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth $ j its beneficial effects are not c nflned to either sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the a.liug wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general dc j bility or from the weakness of a single organ will all find immediate and permanent relief from the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing sale-guard i against that terrible milady. There are many i perhaps who have so trilled with their constitu j tion that they think themselves beyond the reach l of medicine. Ix-t not even those despair. The | Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re , - ierer.ee to the causes, and will not only remove the di-order itself, hut rebuild the broken con i stitution ....

Angusta, January 2,1858. jan4 8m giFA Lifer Remedy.—We wi.-h to say to every person who reads this that there is an article known as Dr. Sanford’s ln vigoralor, or Liver Remedy, which can be relied on as certain to cure liver complaint i any ol its forms, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and nu merous other Complaints, described in another column, besides which it is one ol the greatest preparations or cures for consumption, taken in early stages, that is now known. We take it for granted, as experiment has pr veu that diseases of the lungs are not generally the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated system, caused by tiie improper action of tin liver, which reduces the power of the lun s to resist or throw off diseases caused by cold and r irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of tins , disease, because the liver has incapaciUic-. them from performing their proper action->i throwing off diseased mutter caused by cold. Thus to prevent consumption, cure the hvoi 1 and keep the system strong enough to throw oil ■ slight diseases ol the lungs. * There is not in the world a better liver reme dy or a cure for debilitated system than Dr. Sanford’s luvigorator, for it has been lully tried in a large and extended practice till its results 1 urc fully known, and now it Is offered as <ed remedy, and one that can be relied on.
