AUGUSTA.GA: Thur-Uny Ew»*“tiMarch 18,1BS8. j A Flyi»g Visit »o Charleston- Monday morning found the writer j safely quavered in one of the luxurious rooms of that excellent hotel, the Mills House. I am gratified to notice that it is increasing in popular favor, and mine was the only unoccupied room in the house on my arrival. The “Mills House” has been so often described, and so often seen by many of our rea ders, that it is perhaps unnecessary to . enumerate its manifold attractions.- , The style of its architecture, and ele- , gance of its furniture,render it more at- I tractive than any house in this portion , of the country, while its luxurious fare, < and the thorough discipline and careful s attention of the servants are worthy of ; special commendation. The location is < about equi-distant between tho busi ness houses on the Bay and those on l Meeting and Hayne streets, rendering it I a quiet and agreeable retreat for travel- I ers of leisure, and convenient for busi- < ness men. Charleston is always to me— though . comparatively a stranger, and therefore t a superficial observer —an attractive : and interesting city. To the land-lub- i ber its beautiful bay presents a pictu resque and charming view ; guarded ; by nature's bulwarks on one side, and < on the other by several forts, some of i whose names are linked with the early i struggles of our country. .Her age and historical associations have imparted a ‘ peculiar interest to many of her public < and private enterprises, and her inhab itants comprise a large class of persons distinguished for their wealth, cultiva tion and fine social qualities. Her bus iness relations are no less creditable : possessing ample capital to afford facili ties for mercantile pursuits, and a degree of public spirit that has done much to secure tributaries to her trade from all j points of the interior. The Northeastern railroad has been j recently completed, and is opening up a wide scope of country heretofore com- : paratively inaccessible. It is a gratifying evidence of the high commercial character of tho city, that all the houses of prominence have stood successfully through the late financial pressure. Spring trade is very back ward, and from present indications will be very light. Stocks appear to be am pie, and there is a good degree of zeal manifested in pursuit of business. Just here, illustrative of this, a little episode will also afford an example of the sys tem of drumming now so generally adopted in all pursuits, and with which some of the patrons of the Dispatch ought by this time to be somewhat fa miliar. Brown' is a country merchant, whose name appears on the register. This evening as I was talking over some Mid- j die Georgia reminiscences with Hakkis, | who, by the way, is still engaged at the j ■Mills,’ a dandified gent stepped up, and ! familiarly slappnig me on the shoulder, i exclaimed — “How are you, Brows, when did you get in ? havn’t sacn anything of you at our house.” Pressing the tallowy fingers of the so licitous individual gently, for I did not wish to hurt the delicate creature, I replied— “ Excuse me, sir, but lam not Mr. Brows.' “Oh! ah—ahem,” he stammered—! “beg pardon—l took you for one of our country customers, from Augusta. You are from Edgefield, perhaps—shall be 1 happy to see you at” —and here lie gracefully handed a card running somewhat as follows: J. FREDERICK JONES, WITH FOOVWEATHfJI, EaSYMEX & COMPANY, Dealers in Plantation Supplies, Family Flumery, Fashionable French Gew Gaws, &c., &c., &e. “We shall be gratified to see you— you will find that our stock consists of the very latest styles of’—here he com menced repeating what sounded like a ! page from a French Dictionary when I interrupted him with— “ You arc mistaken, sir—l am not a merchant, and your drumming is un necassary; on the contrary, lam on a drumming expedition mvself—if Mess. Fogy weather, Easymen & Co., or any of your mercantile friends wish to adver tise in a paper having a circulation as wide as your stock seems to he varied, just send them to the Mills House, where I shall represent the interests of , the Augusta Burning Dispatch —‘for a! short time only.’ ” Just here J. FREDEiycK Joses seemed to lose his interest in “Brown,” and I politely touching his hat, he turned j to labor with another new com” er, jnst registering his name from some ! of the upper districts. Such is life, after all. We are all drumming, in some way, and for some ' purpose or other, and if you will show me a man who has no interest to nrge npon the public—but simply waits for the wheels of fortune to roll by his .door, I will show one who is far be hind in the race of competition with his fellows. Still it really is laughable to see the I merchant's clerks hang around the lio. ! tels, on the watch for new customers, : or for some man whose note is over-due, i and it is as much a “feature” of busi i ness among merchant’s clerks, as -the bustle at the depots among the hotel j runners. A higher degree of modesty ! would be more agreeable to the objectb 1 of the impunities of each. I can say safely that Charleston has 1 ever been noted for its elevated stand ard of journalism, and this alone is : is no mean compliment to the taste and intelligence of the Carolina people. The dignified, obliging and enterprising Cuu rier, the vigorous, straight-forward Mer cury, always zealous in defence of South ern Eights—the News, manly, gossip ping and sprightly; atid by no means last in interest, the piquant and para graphically varied Standard, the first and ablest champion of certain mea sures vital to the cause of Southern pro gress. We believe all these journals enjoy a liberal share of patronage.- They at least dame it. I should not forget the other publications also high ly creditable to the city—the Southern Christian Advocate, the Southern Presbyteri an, religious weeklies conducted with great ability. Then there is Russell's Magazine, fully up to the highest stand ard of literary monthlies—and last, and least, our young and little friend, the Inventor, an industrial paper, issued monthly by Messrs. Kkli.oo and Dodge, agents for various new inventions, ma chines, &c., which ought to be encour aged, and which will he enlarged as soon as patronage will warrant it There is one radical deficiency in Charleston journalism—there is no cheap daily for the masses. I went to-night to hear the second lecture of Charles Mackay. His theme was the “Songs and Song Writers of England.” I cannot say that I have the same admiration for the lectures of this gentleman that I have long cher ished for his charming songs. His voice is weak, his style prosy and Encylope j diaisli, and his lecture ismora suggestive | of the lcthean decoction of poppies than |of the celestial fire to be expected from !tho brain of the poet-editor. Dr. Mac- I kay is rather a tall, mild-eyed, higli j browed, humane looking gentleman— land appears vastly more like a country | school master than a poet. ;! His lecture was not received with [| any marked evidence of appreciation, . j and only about seventy-five persons 1 ! wf re present. j Tlte Irish Societies were preparing for ,!a brilliant celebration on St. Patrick’s t (day. Tho cotton market is quiet under the s news from Europe, and in the absence of other themes of interest I will close ' this gossipping epistle. A. 1 / Hook Sales. At almost every court ground and public gathering in the country, may : be found strolling venders of books, which they manage to palm off on the | public by means of what they call gift enterprises, l’erhaps if these dabblers in literature sold books of intrinsic val ! ue, there would he some apology for I the deceptive and immoral system by i which they accomplish it. Deceptive, be jeause those who buy think tbeirchances |to get something of value greater than they are ; immoral, because it is decep tive, and foster a taste for chance speculation. But the books they sell | are generally trashy publications, shop ; worn and unsalable by legitimate means. ! They put up books for thirty to fifty 1 per cent more tiiau they can be bought j for at a hook stove, and hold out as a j bait to the phrehase, a chance at pri j zes ranging from a dozen cedar pencils j—worth less than nothing, because ! they will consume time and are good | for nothing—up to a bogus breast pm , [ora pair of eardrops of equal value, j And yet these swindling machines are tolerated, and are successful in picking , up a vast amount of money. We know . of one whose manager boasted that he | took over SBOO out of one town in Mid jdie Georgia, during court week. We assert that it would have been better for that amount to he given to the meanest circus company that travels—because j the moral tendency of trashy books is j little better than the stale jests of the i ring—and the circus would have left at : i (least two thirds of the money in the [State, thus advancing some industrial , | pursuits,while these bookmen break [down local book stores, spend little [ among us, and take their money to “the other side of Jordon” in a lump. i Hark from the Toombs. The Washington States talks rather j hard of the political course of Senator I Toombs, of Georgia. That paper says that the Senator “is reported to have [said in his speech at Baltimore, on Fri jday evening, that Senators Douglas, | Sreart and Broderick, had run away j and joined the Black Republicans in the j Kansas issue.” j Mr. Toombs, in our opinion, says the j Stales, is the last man who should take | the Senators referred to to task on any j question ; for, if we are not mistaken, he joined tho Abolitionists in opposition to the annexation of Texas, and did as good work in their cause as the best of them. I HP Go and see the big California Bear. Georgia Items. A man calling himself Watson, and hailing from Knoxville, Crawford eoun- j ty, Ga., was on Monday evening last, .fter a hearing before Justice Kirkpat rick, committed to .Tail at Wiftkinsville, ( on a charge of Horse stealing from i Walter & Ivey, Alliens. We h ive omitted to state that the [ Slave Thornton, who was on trial when our reporter left Greensboro’ last week, was convicted as accessory before the murder, and will be hung with John, found guilty of the murder. The case was ably conducted by Judge Cone, for the prisoner, and Mr. Lofton, the Solici tor General, Cols. Reese and Kino, for the State. J. F. Mixon has retired from the Tgpe of the Times, of Covington, and W. H. Royal takes the Editorial chair. How Hie Fair Kngrnle was Unexpec tedly Kissed. The Paris correspondent of the New York Courier relates the following as a j positive fact : At the moment when excitement, alarm and confusion were at their acme, a circumstance occurred of tne, most comic kind to the intended yic- j tuns of the infernal machine. The Em-: peror had just stepped out of his car riage on the pressing invitation of Lan- ■ et, and had turned shocked and liori- ] tied to contemplate the one hundred and fifty people who were writhing around him, when he felt his hand grasped by an unknown man, of appa rently low rank in life, who warmly congratulated him on Iris escape. Thanking the man hurriedly, tho Em peror resumed, as I have said above, liis regard of the sufferers, and gave orders for attention to them. His instrusivc felicitator turned from him in equal haste, took the Empress in his arms, lavished on her his compli ments on her escape and kissed her a dozen times When the Empress en tered her box, and recounted tire inci dents of the explosion and its eonse qcnces, as far as she was concerned, she added. “And I was kissed with warmth by some person, but by whom I cannot conceive.” “It was no doubt, the same friend wlio shock my hand ” said the Emperor. As usual a number of young men were whiling away their leisure hours in the Case dedicated to them, with billiards dominoes and piquet, and cof fee, when the horrible attempt was made. Among them was one named L'ppman, an enthusiastic Bonapavtist. Astounded by the explosions of the shells, and aroused still farther by the sudden entrance into tho Case of sever al splinters of tiie shells through the windows, which they shattered en pas xan 1 , Lippman and comprees rushed from the Case and seeing how matters stood, he flew to the rescue, and toss ing his head with joy at seeing them safe, was the daring individual who had Hie insigne honor of a warm shake of the hand by the Emperor, and of heartily saluting, ad lithium, an Empress, in a sit > nation never before chosen for such a demonstration of affectionate loyality. , —— Executive Appointments. , The following gentlemen have been appointed by his Excellency Governor Ai.i.ston, Commissioners of Deeds, for the State of South Carolina, viz : Claibouru Snead, for the State of Georgia ; residence, Augusta.

The continuous length of the streets in Charleston, as ascertained by actual measurement, is fifty-three miles. Mr. W. W. Wilbur sold a prime fel low, a house servant and carriage dri- 1 ver, about twenty-seven years old, for SUSO; another of similar qualities, for ' $!I10 ; a woman, twenty-five years old, with her two daughters, six and eight years old, at an average of $520; and a - fellow of forty-five, for $265.

D., , well known in Kentucky, author of Elements of Divinity, a large octavo volume, and other w, rks, has left the M. E. Church South for the Episcopal ians. Dr. Ralston was for twenty four years j a member of the Kentucky Conference [ of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and for eleven years in succession its Seere- 1 tarv. He was a member of the General Conference four different sessions. Dr Ralston was a Presiding Elder of the Church for five years, and was the Sec retary of the First General Conference ‘ South in 1846, and a member of the Convention that organized the - Metho dist Church South in 1845. —Mnysville Eagle. — A jester in the Court of Francis 1, complained that a great lord threaten ed to murder him. “If he does so,” said the king, “ I will hang him in five minutes after.” “ I wish your majesty would hang him five minutes before,” said the jester. Definitions from a new-sehool book ; “ John, what’s a bakery !” “A place where they bake, sir.” “ What's a brewery ?” “A place where they brew.” “ What’s a gallery ?” “li hi —a place where there is gals!” “ Is this clean butter?” inquired a 1 grocery-keeper of a green one from the 1 country. “Guess it ort to be,"-was the reply ; for it took the old woman 1 and boys ever since Friday to pick the ] hair out on it.” I THE LATEST NEWS 1 BY TELEGRAPH.

RIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into a t life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric ■ fluid re acquires its solventpower, and the crude i nutriment, which was a load anil a burthen to the sufferer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed and 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, Tic-doloreux or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter | rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with j paralysis, f borne down and dispirited that terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of! nervous emvgy, or experiencing any other pain ! or disability arising from the unnatural Condition I 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 oreuniz dion. Females who have tried it are unanimous in '■ declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that ! woman has ever received from the ha' ds 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 j powers it creates a desire for the solid materia' j which is to he subjected to their action. As an i appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. j If long life and the vigor necessary to its en j joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of i preciou- worth ] Its beneficial effects arc not confined to either I sex or to any ago. The feeble girl, the ailing I 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 immediateand permanent relief from the u.-e of this incomparable renovator. To i 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. Lot cot even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re lerence to the causes, and will not only remove the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, meJjfncholy, mental debil ity. hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de s'ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia. general prostration, irritability, r.ervous- I ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe j males, decay of the propagating functions, bys i | teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of i j the heart, impotency, constipation, oto., from ’ I whatever cau e arising, it is. if there i- any reli- j | ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute-! ! ly infallible. j CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial j ! has been counterfeited by some unprincipled; j persons In future, all the genuine Cordial will! ! have the proprietor's sac simile pasted over the | | cork of each bottle, and the following wordsi blown in glass : Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cor-!’ dial, C.

Thus to prevent consumption, cure the liver and keep the system strong enough to throw otr slight diseases of the lungs. [ There is not in the world a better liver reme dy or a cure for debilitated system than Dr. 1 Sanford’s Invigorator, for it lias Been fully tried I in a large and extended practice till its results | arc luliy known, and now it Is offered as a tried J remedy, and one that can be relied on.— Lan caster Whig. m h9 gIT Portrait Painting.—Mr. j ‘ j T.
