In consequence of the interference oi our numerous agents with the opuin tions of each other, we have withdrawn all agencies save our regular travelling agents, J. K. Howard, I. H. Stearns, and W. B. Wiley. AVe shall still he gratified to have the aid of postmasters and others who choose to aid in extend ing our circulation, hut those only are authorized to receipt for the Proprietor. «The Negro Labor Ruesllou ■' —a Ncav York Merchant. We have received a pamphlet with the above title. We were struck with the seeming modesty which the author exhibited in concealing his name.— When we read, we saw distinctly that the concern had been gotten up to re trieve the fallen fortunes of some Hew York chap who had invested in Anti- Slavery, lost the trade of his Southern friends, and now means to make a strike which shall bring in custom from both sides. He knows his reputation is bad in this latitude, and so he conceals his name lest it should prevent the read ing by Southerners. Ho makes and steals a very respectable argument npon the necessity to the negro of a State of 11 servitude.” He rehashes the leasou ings which have long ago demonsti ated the moral soundness of our institution. The negro ought to work for his own good ; he ought to work for the ( white man who thinks for him ] and protects him against his own ( brutish nature. The white man is un- ( der a moral obligation to raise the ne- _ gro in the scale of humanity, and has a ( right to demand his labor in payment therefor. To accomplish this,a state of ( "servitude” is essential. A variety of circumstances render it advisable to lo cate this “servitude” somewhere else than "in Africa. Therefore the negro 1 must be brought out of Africa. This is ' the sum and substance of hisconclu- ■ sions, touching the relations of white ! and black men. It is thus far intended 1 to please Southern meu, and may pro- 1 perly do so; it pleases us; it is clothed 1 in such garb as the author thinks will ' reduce the extreme prejudices of the North. But having feasted Southern appetite , he spreads something to tickle his Northern customers. He tells them that by “servitude”—“compulsory,” to be sure—he means something veiy different from slavery! Slavery, as it exists in Georgia, is a badly managed concern, for both negro and white man. He is confident that great improvements are needed and could easily be made if all parties would agree. To the end of this agreement he proposes a grand convention of delegates from all parts I of the civilised world, to'dctermine the best method for managing the affairs of Africa and the Southern States! When we got this far we gave up the notion that the fellow was modest 1 He is one of those brassy philanthropists who will tell you that the best way to do the world incalculable good is, to put some thing in their own pocket. In his estimation, the people of Geor gia, are a poor dull-hearted set, who had but few opportunities, compared with himself, for studying the institu tion of slavery and the nature of ne groes, arc not well informed upon the subject. He, therefore, as we judge, slips a copy of his production into the hand of his friend from the South, ex pecting that friend to conclude to place the management .of his negroes and plantation in the hands of a World's Convention! The institution is all right in principle, but in practice needs the wise assistance of those who never saw a dozen negroes! "When his Northern customer comes in, he gives him a copy too, and says to him: “It’s all straight now, I have admitted to that Southern chap, who stepped out just as you came, that ■-lavery is right in the abstract. He is -o much gratified by frankness in mak ing that admission, that he will, I doubt lot, consent to entrust the management of his negroes to a aconvention of all ivilized nations. Os course, in that "invention, he will be in the minority, ;nd we will fix the matter to suit our wn views of what is right and proper, took this idea from the way in which the “ political allies” of the South in the North managed their matters. This fellow from the South is a strong be liever in the soundness of Northern De mocracy. I tried the same game on a Fillmore man from Alabama the other day and the thing took like cakes.” In short, the book is a good illustra tion that a fine theory may be made by a man who is unacquainted with the acts, but that when an application is nade, the whole thing becomes simple fool ishness. Kit Carson hasconcluded a treaty with sveral powerful Indian tribes, who agree to take side with the United States in age of an issue with the Mormons. A comparison of the receipts of Cotton at all the Southern ports at this time, with the receipts at the same time last year, show a total decrease of 277,367 ales. Book Table. Modern Reform Examined ; or the Union of the North and South on tin subject of Slavery: By Joseph t Stiles. Philadelphia, J. B. Lippen cott & Co. The author of this work, a native and for many years a resident of the South, has undertaken the very delicate and very noble work of attempting to recon cile the antagonistic sentiments which 1 exist in the two sections of the Union, ; on the subject of slavery, and which ; have distracted the harmony of our Churches, asw-ellas threaten ourpoliti ’ cal relations. He endeavors in a char itable and Christian spirit to show that the anti-slavery crusade at the North is “arrogant” “ biliigerant,” and ‘* de structive,” and offers remedial sugges tions and exhortations of a very forci ble character. His reasoning is more logical and unanswerable than anything we have seen on this perplexing subject, and if anything can modify the ultra ism of the Northern Reformers this work must exert a salutary influence. — it is for sale by 11. D. Norrell, to whom we are indebted for a copy. Dysentary— its pathology, treatment &.C.; by Robert Campbell, A.M., M.D. We acknowledge the receipt of this publication, just issued from the press of J. Morris, of this city. It comprises a series of three lectures, under the fol low heads : Ist, Nature and Pathology of Dysentery. 2d, Treatment. 3d, Ap propriate Treatment. It is not our province or purpose to write a criticism on anything pertaining to a science of which we have so little knowledge, but the prevalence and fatality of this dis ease in many sections of our country, render a more thorough investigation of its pathology and treatment, a mat ter of the utmost importance, and we are gratified to find that it lias engaged the attention of one whose experience and research so eminently fit him for the task. *••** Georgia Military Institute. The Advocate says, that Gov. Brown during his visit to Marietta the present week dosed the purchase of the Georgia Military Institute, in compliance with an act passed by the last Legislature for that purpose. The transfer to the State, has not been made sooner owing to a disputed title to one of the lots of land included in the property. This having been settled at the present Court there was no longer an obstacle to the change of ownership, and the Institute will be j henceforth under State management.— j It is now in flourishing condition num-1 beringbetween onehundredand twenty -I five and one hundred and thirty Cadets, and under State management has every prospect for increased success and exten ded usefulness. Good News from the Indian Nation. The Tampa Peninsular of the Oth in stant, contains highly important news from Billy Bowlegs & Co. We have ' I only room to say that Maj. Rector had a |: “talk” with Billy and other Chiefs, and the Major, who had since returned to Tampa, expresses entire confidence in his ability to induce the Indians to emi grate. l The Peninsular concludes its account - of the affair thus: —“Under all circum - stances, we feel sanguine that the ‘Flori da War’ will soon be terminated by the - peaceable removal of the Seminoles west. i -•••- 1 Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. State Road, March 17,1858. Os all the serpentine, meandering in stitutions of this or any other age, this road is the ultra exponent. I do not wonder that some of the Governors of Georgia, since its construction, should have their heads turned so as' to inca paciate them for clear-headed manage ment of its affairs. A man, or set of men, who would thus lay out and construct a railroad, deserves all the infamy which genera tions through all coming time, will lie sure to award. The whole road, as fat as I have traveled, is a series of curves, and where tlj«oinMß he reached is in a direct WBfeijjverse curves are resorted to, to accomplish the pur pose. Curves thus becoming the rule ! and not the exception. I believe that whatever may be said or thought of Gov. Brown, as far as Banks are concerned, his Railroad policy mer its the approbation of the community. From my observation I am convinced that the Superintendent of transporta tion, Mr. E. B. Walker, is one of the best business men in this State or any i other. ; Gov. Brown was in Marietta yester day, he mingled very freely with the . crowd, seeming to have no sentimental ism in regard to red clay. I accepted an invitation to attend the Webster Debating Club at the last named place. There is much taleut among the boys, and I am glad to see them thus developing it. I wish to say a word about the “Wa ter Cure” of Dr. Cox, situated about a mile from Marietta, near the Kennesaw Mountain. It is a place where the nu merous believers in the virtues of cold water have an opportunity to become 1 divested of the ills to which flesh is heir. The success which has attended ( his efforts in a curative direction, lias given his establishment a decided repu ' tation. »••>.. ’ SIT Freight on cotton from Memphis to New Orleans is one dollar per bale Georgia Items. * Mrs. Turner, wife of Rev.

Sandbrsville, Ga., March 18. A trial of unusual interest occupied the attention of our court during the last week ; and as I did not see any one from your establishment ou the ground, I will give you a brief synopsis of the points of the case. Green Martin, and Godfrey, his sou, r sometime in May of last year, whipped 1 a negro hoy about 15 years of age, for about five hours, when he died. The punishment was inflicted for some im pudence of the boy. Three daugh ters of Martin were the principal wit ’ nesses. Godfrey, his son, ran away, and has never come to trial. The case was ; well managed by McLaws, Col. Hook and F. E. Tebeau, for the State, and J. > Harris, E. S. Langmade, Evans and 1 Harman, of Sandersville, for the pris ’ oner. The appearance of delicate girls to testify against their father, airaigned for such a shocking crime, was peculiar ly touching, and imparted to the case a strange and painful interest seldom manifested to an equal degree by the waiting crowd. The case was given to the jury just before midnight, and af ter being out nearly 12 hours, they re turned a verdict, on Sunday, at 11 o’clock, of Guilty. An effort IS on foot to obtain a new trial, and Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, of ‘ your city has, I learn, been employed j by the accused. Other criminal cases are up for trial, I hut none of general interest. John S. Armstrong has been sent to jail for two months for larceny—and one or two as- ' sault and battery cases have been fined. Our town is now almost recovered from the effects of the fire two years ago. Yours, Star. From California—south America, Air. i We present the following synopsis cf ; news brought,!)}- the Star of the West, | which arrived in New York on the 15th. ! t ;in addition to the telegraph report al-U ; ready published.

Small pox was committing ravages in the Marine Hospital at San Francisco. 1 soil'll AMERICA. The civil war in Peru continues. The capture of Arequipa by Castillo was j momentarily expected. The American ship Lizzie Thompson and bark Georgiaua were seized at i Chincha Islands and taken to Calloa, and the demand of the American minis ter demanded satisfaction for theinsult. The U.

Star of the West brings the following , additional news : < The Governor of Sonora defeated Gaudara and his robber followers, with great destruction of life. i Lieut. Ives' exploring party had as- , cended the Colorado to white settle ments 350 miles above Fort Yuma. The Nicaraguan government has < “denationalized” Walker and his fol- I lowers. It appears that Mr. Lamar, U. S. Min ister, forgot his credentials, and was ( awaiting their receipt before entering j upon negotiations with the Nicaraguan government. THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR-j I?IAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach, has lost the power of duly converting food into a j life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric i fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude i nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to the sufferer, while his digestive organization was ■ paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the j wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength ami health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the ' acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-dolorenx or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that teriible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arisingfrom the unnatural condition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo i 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 it are unanimous in declaring the Elixir to he 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 materia’ which is to be subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal in tbe Pharmacopia. If long life and the vigor necessary to its eu joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of i j precious worth i Its beneficial effects are not confined to either -ex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn 1 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 relief from ( the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard again, t that terrible m ilady. There are many , ; perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- j tion that they think themselves beyond the reach j of medicine .j I.et not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re i ( | lerencc to the causes, will not only remove ‘ , the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con-1 | stiMition i LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush j ( jof blood to the Lead, melancholy, mental'debil- . i ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de-; s ruction, fear of insanit}', hypochondriasis, dys-j ’ pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous- 1 I ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe- i i males, decay of the propagating functions, liys < • teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation o*f, i 1 the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from i whatever arising, it is, if there is any reli- < ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute- 1 \ ly infallible. : < CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial has been counterfeited by some unprincipled persons.

Georgia. febl2-y l]sTA Liver ttewedj.-Wc wish to say to every person who reads this that there is an article known as Dr. Sanford's In- j r igorator, or liver Remedy, which can be relied ou as certain to cure liver complaint in any of j its forms, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and nu- j merous other Complaints, described in another column, besides which it is one of the greatest preparations or cures for consumption, taken in j early stages, that is now known. We take it for granted, as experiment has prr- j ven that diseases of the lungs are not generally j the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated j system, caused by the improper action of the j liver, which reduces the power of the lungs to; resist or throw off diseases caused by cold and \ irntation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of this! disease, because the liver has incapacitated] them from performing their proper action efi throwing off diseased matter caused by cold. Thus to prevent consumption, cure the liver ; ’ and keep the system strong enough to throw o lf slight diseases of the lungs. There is Dot in the world a better liver reme- | dy or a cure for debilitated system than D#. Sanford’s Invigorator, for it has been fully tried in a large and extended practice till its results are fully known, and now it Is offered as a tried remedy, and one that can be relied on.— Lew caster Whig mh9 'jfttto SUwtiscmeiits. llwttrt*' asul CUeese. iri TWENTY - KIV E boxes choice Cheese ; 1 i 15 Firkins G 1;..-u HUT* 1- ■■ Jilst received by mll'l'i-uti FSTFH & CLARK.
