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

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.

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.

terday. A revival is in progress. The
place has some local importance, as the

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.

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.

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.”—

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.

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.—

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

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 '

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

ifThe Great Pr o Mem
Solved !—III!. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR-
It lAL. 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.
While it renews the strength of tin* digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid materia' J
which is to he subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Fharmacopia.
If long lile and the vigor necessary lo its en
joyment arc desirable, this medicine is indeed of
prcciou • worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business* the victim of nervous depres
sion. the individual suffering from general do
bility or from the weakness or a single organ j
will all find immediate and permanent relief from I
the u-c of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible milady. There arc many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals v. ith disease as it exists, without re
■ereuco to the causes, and will not only remove
the di order itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

IfA Giver Remedy.—We
wish to say to every person who reads this that 1
there is an article known as Dr. San ford's In
vigorator, or liver Remedy, which can be relied
on as certain to cure liver complaint ir. any ol
[ its forms, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and nu
! 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.
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 «
