doming AUGUSTA, GA: Tuesday Evening,March 33, 1858* Mining. We are pleased to see tlie raining spirit still unabated in upper Georgia. Several companies have recently com menced work, while others are making spccdy preparations. We hope that every success may crown their efforts.— We learn from the Signal that Messrs Cunumax, Vandyke & Co., from North Carolina, will soon introduce the hy draultic mode of operation. A consider able yield from the mines of Lumpkin may he looked for this summer, as pro visions are remarkably cheap. _ |g" The Union Springs (Ala.) Express, of the 10th inst, says : “At the plan tation of T. P. & J- C. Handle, neai Chunnenuggce, on Saturday roomin g last, a bouse was consumed and five ne gro children burned to death. Al though the fire originated in the day, and the owners present, yet the flames were 60 rapid and had advanced so far before discovered, no assistance could be rendered. It is supposed to have been accidental.'’ Fatal Accident. The West Point American learns that Mr. ISrawner, a teacher near Berlin, Chambers county, Ala, was fatally stab bed by a hoy named W«. Collins, while correcting him, on Monday of last week. Mr. Brawner was raised in El bert county in this State, and was an intimate friend in the family of the lad’s father. It should boa lesson to boys and men also, who are so ready to draw knives for trivial provocation, and while in a passion. ggr The venerable Com. Jones lies extremely ill at his residence in Fair fax, Va. Prof. Vanboudt has .succeeded in obtaining pure copper, in the vicini ty of Traveler's Rest, in Coosa countv Ala. IT We read in the E*glisli papen that some time last month, in Scotland, a man on his way to be married was lost in the deep snow, and when found ; was frozen to death within a mile oi the residence of the bride. Louisiana Items. We gather the following Louisiana items from the N. o.Picayune. The business prospects of the flour ishing town of Shreveport were never so flattering as at present. The Caddo Gazette is confident the streets have never been seen so crowded with cotton wagons. Every branch of business is improving. Improvements have been 1 made of a most stable character. The Gazette says : The following statement, found in the letter of a correspondent, who has been on a tour into the adjacent coun ties of Texas, gives an indication of ■ permanence to their prosperity. He i says: I found the road between this and 1 Marshall in a tolerably fair condition, and can testify to the fact, that team sters are making the best possible use 1 of it. At a low estimate, I passed two : hundred wagons loaded with cotton be tween the points above mentioned.— They average about five bales to the 1 wagon, making 1,000 bales to forty 1 miles of road. I compared notes with ] the stage driver, who came through on the same day. He said lie was confi dent there were not less than four hun- - dred wagons, which you see would make 1 .1,000 bales drawn by ox power on lasi , Sunday, between here and Marshall. This is favoiahle to the belief that a j great and prosperous trade will spring up on -the partial completion of the 1 Southern Pacific Railroad. 1 Crime In New York. Mr. Tallmadge, General Superintend- . ent of Police in New York, has made a i report to the Board of Commissioners ' from which we gather the following facts, touching the amount of crime in New York difting the past three months. Whole number of arrests amounts to 12,779, classified as follows. Irish 8,000 j Swedes 6 Germans 1,223 | West Indies 5 English 577 | Cubans 5 Scotch 510 j Swiss 3 French 85 | Hollanders 3 Italians 57 ! Welsh 2 Canadian 55 | Danes 1 Poles 10 | Portuguese 1 Spanish 11 jC. Persons 225 Revival In Mobile. The Mobile papers contain entcrest ing accounts of the religious awaken ing in that city. '‘ At the St, Francis street Baptist church, there lias been a protracted meeting attended, nightly hy large con gregations, for nearly three weeks. Since the commencement of the meet ing there have been no fewer than thir ty conversions; all or nearly all adults. A very interesting protracted meet ing has recently closed at Wesley Chap el, (Methodist,) and one also at the 4th Presbyterian eh 111 eh. At Bethel church on Water street, unusual interest is be ing manifested, and there is preaching every evening. Ilf" Monroe Stewart, one of the per sons accused of the McKeesport mur der, convicted, pardoned, and after wards held for another trial, died in the Pittsburg prison on the 9th inst., of small pox. Gounn vs. Lees.—The Portland Ad * vertiser learns that the action, J. B. Goi gii vs. Dr. Lees, of Scotland, is not ■ actually commenced, but only threat ened. The proceeding, if entered upon, is to hehy indictment. In such case, by English law, it is undnrstood the , truth cannot be given in evidence. Dr. Lees, it is said, has charged Mr. Gomm with excessive use of opium and visit , iug low places ; and the Doctor offers to t prove what he charges, before twelve persons who will receive tlie testimony. .*■ Strawberries. 1 Tlie New York Express notices straw ' berries in that market from Savannah Georgia. Wonder if any of tlie Savan nah Editors have had a “nib” at them yet ? Georgia Items. We perceive that Hon. L. J. Gartreli., Representative in Congress has intro duced a Bill to make a Port of Entry. The Supreme Court of Georgia com menced its sessions in Atlanta yester day. Present, Judges Lumpkin, Mc- Donald andBENNiNO. A refuge for the poor has just been completed in Fulton rec and a half miles South-west of tlie city, and tlie Justices of the Inferior Court an nounce its readiness to receive appli cants. All affray occurred in Blakely, Ga., on Thursday, 11th inst., between James Cross and Thomas Williams, Esq., in which Mr. Cross received a severe wound by a knife in tlie hands of Mr. Williams. Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. State Road, March 19, 1858. &Much tilarae has been attached to the management of this Rond in years past, because it hasjnot been a paying con cern. But if tlie fault finders knew that the Road not only cost immensely too much, but also entailed upon all coming time a Road requiring inordi nate expenditure to keep in repair, and the diabolical extent to which this is true, they would only wonder that it pays expenses. I have before alluded to tlie curves ; and I learn that as a reason why they were permitted to constitute so much of the road, was because tlie Chief Engi neer induced the directors to believe tiiat an engine would pull more around a curve than on a straight line! These facts may he familiar to your readers, but they are new to me, and the diffi culty I have in conceiving what must be the depravity of a man who could thus execute a work entrusted to him with full confidence in his honesty and integrity, and what must he the stupid ity of tlie parties who would suffer themselves to he thus duped, leads me to refer to them asecoud time. And I repeat, in consideration of these faults, if Dr. Lewis, Mr. Walker, and the others who now have the man agement of the Road, can make it pay with all the mill stones which are hung about its neck, they will dcseru the unqualified commendation of the peo ple of tlie State. S. Special Correspondence of Hie Dispatch. Dalton, Ga., March 22. Since my last letter, tlie country tliro’ which I have passed before reaching the valley of Etowah, s eras to have rather limited industrial resources, chickens, children and homespun be ing tlie most obvious productions. At some of the Stations we meet Muggins in all his native tolerance; Muggins who believes the sun to come up tlie 1 other side of the hill, and set just a ( right smart distance over the river; ] Muggins, who, like a calf, knows as I much when he is horn as he ever does ; 1 Muggins, in short, who never took a j newspaper in liis life, and never will. So i you need have no fears that this will ' give offense, for it will never meet j his eye. j 1 have been to Home! Rome! how ' many memories crowd around thy ( name ! Thoughts of tliec awaken tlie f sluggish memory of the past, and stir ' j up dim conjectures as to the distant fu- t ture. The seven hilled city bearing the f political sceptre, and Rome sustaining J aloft tlie standard of crucifixion for the 1 devotional gaze of the faithful, have a ( lesson for governments and churches, which the world will heed when tlie one shall have shared the fate of the other. . But to return to actualities, Rome, ; Ga , is a stirring business place, situa- ‘ ted at the head of navigation on the \ Coosa river, its position among interior ' towns, is an enviable one. The Dispatch ' 1 suits the people here, and they reconi- I mend it to their Alabama cousins. ! The hotels are good. Tlie Choice 1 House is indeed choice. The servants ' 1 by their alacrity evince the fact, that ' 1 there is a mistress who has an eye to see 5 what is required. I commend this house to the public. 1 was detained here in Dalton on yes terday. A revival is in progress. The place has some local importance, as the ■ juncture of the Knoxville road. The Dalton Times is quite a sheet, cm- ulating tlie city papers in dimension and dignity. All tlie country ought to ‘ take it, not excepting Muggins. Mons. ■ Majteniea, a talented performer, and his estimable lady are here distributing amusement to tlie crowd. They will ’ appear in Augusta at some future time. - Some roberies have recently been com mitted here; one this morning of aje v elry store. Tlie amount taken was not large. . S. Practical Christianity. The Young Men’s Christian Associa tion at Pittsburg lias distributed 22,000 j , bushels of coal to tlie poor, without any | reference to sect, class or nation. It j supplied, in one day, forty families with fuel to keep them comfortable a \ ■ month. Nearly 5,000 persons have: been kept comfortable during tlie! 1 whole winter through the effort f this society. This is practical Chris-1 tianity. • IST Miss Georgian.! Hodson, one of . the New Orleans Opera Troupe, was t thrown from a horse in Columbus last - week, and seriously injured. Wo be , lieve this unfortunate cantatrice had , her leg broken several years ago. , *•— Sewnril anil Hammond, Tlie speeches of Senators Seward and i Hammond are the engrossing themes. . Seward’s is the most elaborate, not the ablest speech. Both are disunion ' speeches. One announces tlie subjuga -1 tien of the South, reiterates at painful length the garbled, freesoil nistory of events in Kansas, and appeals with pro found cunning and force to the agra rian Impulses of the laboring classes at the North. The other,in a few thougbt -1 iful sentences, disintegrates the so-eall . ed Constitutional objections to tlie ad- L mission of Kansas under the Lecomp ton Constitution ; compares the rela tive capacities of North and South to maintain separate existences, showing conclusively the immense material ad vantages of the latter ; and concludes ’ with a rebutting appeal to the conser vative sentiments of the men of proper ty at the North, ail whom, in virtue of . the unrestricted freedom of the elec tive franchise, are liable to irremediable ruin the moment the herds of semi-bar ■ barians in their midst shall learn "the tremendous secret of the ballot box.”— ! Richmond Whig. Supplies for- tlie Utah Army. ' The St. Louis Intelligencer, of the 11 tli inst. says : The Pacific Railroad depot is the scene of great activity at this time,caus ed by the shipping of large amounts of supplies intended for tlie Utah Arrqy. , From 150 to 200 tons are sent up daily, and the quantity may be increased 1 Boats are in readiness at Jefferson City, ■ and very little time will be lost in trail- 1 shipping tlie freight from the cars to , the boats. With all thb energy and j activity of the military department, it will hardly be possible to get the ad-1 vanced tr iin in motion from Fort Leav- j enworth before the 20th inst. Maj. Neighbors has decided to make ' Nebraska City tlie point from which he ! will start his transportation trains. He has already made arrangements to start from eight hundred to one thousand wagons in the first train, which will re quire from six to eight thousand yoke of oxen and twelve hundred men. The in ney which will be required for this first train will probably amount to six hundred thousand dollars which will make business lively in that far Western ; region. —A ...... W The Army Bill Which passed the House of Represen tatives on Friday, (ayes 124 ; nays, 75,) is not the sort of bill the Administra tion wanted —or the Secretary of War called for—but it seems to have been j accepted by the supporters of the Ad- j ministration in the House, as about the I best they could get in the present tem- j per of Congress. There is great doubt I whether, even tlie moderate, and appa- i rentlynecessary, augmentation of the! army which this House Bill provides for, would have been granted, had not Mr. Quitman, the author of it, given a distinct and emphatic assurance, that the troops would he withdrawn from Kansas —as there was no desire to keep them there any longer. Having (his pledge, that ostensible increase for Utah and tlie In dians, was not really for an enforcement of the Lecompton Constitution upon an unwilling people in Kansas, it is easily understood why the House voted for the Bill. For tlie same reason, it is pre sumed, it will go through the Senate.— New York Express. Mexico for Cotton. A correspondent of tlie Mexican Ex- , traordinary calls upon tiie Government and capitalists of Mexico to consider the opportunity now offering for the starting of cotton-growing in that conn- , try. With the increasing demands of 1 manufacturers, tlie decreasing crops in 1 this country, and the capabilities of 1 Mexico, lie thinks lie sees tlie strongest inducement for entering upon the un- ( dertaking. On all the seaboard, from | Yucatan to Brazos Santiago, thousands \ of acres suitable for its culture exist; 1 but the points more peculiarly applica- j ble, he says, are those between the bar If of Tampico and that of Brazos Santia- t go, and the rich alluvial soils which t border the two nobles rivers, the Panu- < co and the Tamed. The class of cotton 1 which grows uncultivated there has, he * states, been pronounced by capable c judges of Louisiana of excellent quan- 1. tity. The two rivers join in front of Tampico. The Tamesi is represented as much like the Alabama, and is navi-11 gable up to Tancasneque. The Panuco j f is navigable for a much greater dis- i v tance, and although not so picturesque g as the Tamesi, is not less fertile. The a Indians of the Huasteca, he thinks, r might easily be trained to labor. —New c Orleans Picayune. Ip n Removal of Judge Lorlng. a Gov. Banks, elected by the people of I Massachusetts as the Governor of a f State within the American Union, has 1 obeyed the behests of the Legislature, t and removed Judge Loring. Os tlie 8 two, most honest and upright men j ll would prefer the position of thedecapi- | a tated Judge to that of the official Chief j v Magistrate. The offence of the one is j 0 tlie discharge of his sworn duties to the Constitution of the United States as,h tlie law officer of the Federal Govern- \'l ment. The act of the other is obedi- j1 ence to the request conceived in preju- ;t dice, continued in fanaticism, and con-j*- summated in open hostility to the Con- j stitution and laws of the United States. An official act like tiiis, wholly uncall-' ed for and unnecessary, is both a blun- j f der a crime. It is a stain also upon , Governor Banks' official life, which will stick to him like the shirt of Nessus.— I I Unthinking and rapid men may applaud . the act. hut the patriotic and just will | always lament and condemn it. —New ' York Express.

I The British army and navy estimates ! ! have*been printed. The army, next ' year, is to consist of 222,874 men, of whom 1)2,739 are serving in India. The home and colonial service is to have 130,136. The navy numbers 50,001) men and boys in all departments, of ; 1 which number 35,000 are afloat. The I estimate for the navy is €9,140,127 ; .

The Cnthbert Reporter locate ) a laugh able incident on one of the gude dames of that county, as follows: An old lady stepped into a dry good store the other day, to make a few pur chases of ‘spun truck,’ &c. In the store is a figure, bearing a striking resem blance to a female, minus the head.— The old lady observed it, and her eye sight not being very blight, she natu rally supposed it to be one of her own sex, advanced and very politely spoke to it. The merchant, a broad grin tra | versing his countenance, remarked— “ Madam, that is a figure we have for showing goods upon," “My sakes!” exclaimed the old la dy, and observing one of the clerks in an opposite corner, she said, “And this is another one you have to show goods on, ain’t it?’’ .*■* —— Tlic Ba.que. Shall itcoout of Fashion.—The dress makers say that the basque is passing out of date—that it is not so much worn now as formerly, and that it will soon be discarded in tiie higher circles. We seize the first moment to enter our pro test against this movement- We gave our heart to the basque years ago. We made the surrender publicly in these columns. We recognized the eternal fitness of things in which the idea of the basque finds its basis. The trunk and chest of a woman have a distinct honor, and perform a peculiar office in the eco nomy of her existence. They contain her heart, her breath, her life, and the fountains of other life. It is tit, there fore, that this portion of the frame be dressed by itself, as it were- that it be honored as the seat and centre of life.— The skirt is another thing entirely. The limbs arc used only for the purpose of locomotion, and they are simple to be ignored by graceful falls of material from the waist. Now we protest against this rubbing out of all distinctions. There is just as much propriety in attaching the hat to the neck of the dress as there is in fas tening the skirt to the waist; and the ; whole idea of the old fashioned gown can only be carried out by making the bonnet and shoes a part of it. If we are to lo e the basque, let us go the whole 1 | figure, fasten everything together, jump i into the result, and see how pretty we i shall look. Let the gentlemen imitate i the ladies, and revive the earlier pat- i terns of breeching which filled all the offices of clothing between the neck and , heels. But such an operation as this would be impossible. The coat is a sa cred investment. It is to nmn what the ( basque should be to woman. Perhaps we should be accused of med dling with that which,does not particu larly concern us. Don’t we have to pay 1 for the dresses ? Don’t we have to sit 1 with them evenings? Does not the 1 abandonment of the basque involve the 4 abandonment of all those pleasant va- t rieties of dress procurable by the simple v change of skirts ? Is it none of our a business! For whom are these dresses i madejwe should like to know ? Whose admiration are they intended to excite? 1 What do ladies w’ear handsome dresses p for except for the purpose of pleasing l “the brethren?” We, therefore, take c this early occasion to declare that we 1 shall hold ourselves hound to admire 11 no woman who discards the basque, and adopts the idea of the meal bag. W r e 1 will not place our arm around the waist 3 of any woman who may happen to be ' iu danger of falling unless she wear a basque. We are determined to frown 1 down the threatened change with all 1 the power of a severely corrugated coun tenance. So, dressmakers, beware.— j Springfield Republican. t Conundrum. t The following appeared a few days 1 ago in the Charleston Courier: ' ( i “ Why’s D like marriage ?” asked the maid I Whoso troth to me is plighted ; | I blushed in sooth and hung my head While she seemed quite delighted. ’ I THE ANSWER. t I “ Come, answer me,” continued she. { { _ “ And don't be lougabout it; ou stup'd lellow. can’t yon see, c We cau’t be wed without it?”' t E Florida Crops. v {he Ocala (Fla.)

The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into a J life sustaining element, is relieved byaslnglej course of this extraordinary time. 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 and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created iu 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, alllicted with vague ter i ors. wakened by periodical lit', threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that j ten ible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of j nervous energy, or experiencing any oilier pain 1 or disability arising from the unnatural condition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo- j tion aud thought—derives immedhte benefit, from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, j invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous ; organization. 1 Females who have tried it are n mini mo s mj declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that! woman has over receive*! from the hards of j medical men. , Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.

We take it for granted, as experiment has prr. ven that diseases of the lungs are not generally the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated system, caused by the improper action of the ] liver, which reduces the power of tbo lun : . s to j j resist or throw otf diseases caused by cold and j I irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of this j A disease, because the liver lias incapacitated them from performing their proper action el throwing off diseased matter caused by cold. Thus to prevent consumption, cure the liver - and keep the system strong enough to throw off slight diseases of the lungs. # | | There is not in the world a better liver reme dy or a cure for debilitated system than Dr. Sanford’s Invigorator, for it has been fully tried 5 in a large and extended practice till its results are fully known, and now it Is offered as a tried i remedy, and one that can bo relied on .—Lon- 1 « easier Whig. | ’ | giT Special Notice.—l have re- j ceived and recently opened some of the finest Goods, at remarkably low prices.
