Tile Weekly Dlspateli.
The late increase in the circulation
•f our beautiful weekly is really aston
ishing, We are adding from fifty to
seventy-five per week to its circulation,
extending over almost all the Southern
States. Os course we get nothing from
the North —few papers ever
do get anything hut ridicule from
Northernjjeaders —nothing ever occurs
here that can interest Northern readers ;
and yet, strange to say, our people de
light to pore over Northern papers, fill
ed with sketches of Northern society
Northern murders —Northern devilment
—Northern politics—Northern every
thing. Why is it so? We accord to
the North the centre of trade, the thea
tre of fashion, as it is also the centre
of many social follies and tomfooleries ;
but when it comes to newspaper read
ing, to general intelligence, and to the
cultivation of home sympathies, and
dissemination of correct principles, why
will Southern readers extend so much
aid and comfort to the enemies of our
social institutions?
We think we perceive a gradual change
in the habits of onr people ; and,as a re
sult of it, we believe most of the better
class of papers in the South are increas
ing in circulation. Let the good work
go on—let Southern publishers perse
vere in getting up good papers, and let
appreciating readers battle against the
late popular rage for cheap, trashy pa
pers from abroad, and the change will
be still more gratifying. The times de
mand such a change—everything is
propitious for it, if those who feel its ne
cessity will only act. Wc send an ex
tra copy of our weekly to any pers< n
who will get five cash subscribers at
$1,50 each. Show your faith by your
works, reader, friend, and wc will send
you a sheet literally teeming with home
incidents and general news—home sen
timents, and a safe and healthy com
pendium of literary matter.
The Destiny of Mexico.
We have before adverted to the con- 1
dition of this beautiful and productive 1
country—now distracted by factions, '
impoverished and torn to pieces by
civil wars and internal commotions,un
til there is little or no personal safety
for individuals, the country being in
fested by gangs of daring robbers. Civil
war rages in all directions and it is evi
dent that the government of the newly
made President must he overthrown, It
must, we think, he apparent to every
one, that the people of Mexico are to
tally incompetent to the task of self
government Santa Anna, it is expect
ed, will seize the favorable opportunity
to endeavor to reinstate himself, though
there is some-talk of having an efibit
made .to re-annex Mexico to Spain, and
to have a Spanish Prince placed upon
the throne. Something must he done
to re-establish law and order, or Mexico
will be given up to armed ruffians and
robbers entirely. The best movement
that could probably be made by the
miserable inhabitants of that country,
would bo to attacli themselves to the
United States, by annexing the whole
country to our Union.
It would afford an extended field for
the development of our institutions,and
for the cultivation of the great commer
cial staples an increase of which is in
dispensable. But the present population
are entirely unfit for a republican gov
ernment ; and its whole social and re
ligious system must undergo a thorough
Anglo-Saxon leavening,before it can be
come a permanent member of our
republican sisterhood. The United
States, if the Monroe doctrine be carried
into effect, will not consent to have the
country' created into a kingdom, with a
foreign prince on the throne, and yet a
strong hand is absolutely required to
reduce affairs to order, and to enforce
obedience to the laws.
A glace at California, but recently
dismembered from the influence and
control of the Mexican dynasties, illus
trates at a glance the elevating •fleets
of American institutions upon the de
caying fortunes of that priest-ridden
country. Though the coldest and ru
dest portion of her ancient domain, it is
now teeming with the wealth and re
sources of an empire. Who then shall
say that the God of progress and civili
saiion frowns upon the means by which
order and prosperity arc brought out of
confusion and anarchy ? by which a
people and a country possessing all the
facilities for the noblest national pso
gress, are aided in coming up to a cred
itable standard among the natives of the
earth.

End of the Darlington Tragedy,
The late “regulation ” movement in ;
Darlington, S. C., which resulted in the ;
death of Frekman and Windham result-1
■ed in the trial and acquittal of the par
ties concerned in it.
About 50 members of the Vigilance !

Money Matters Its Sew York.
A New York exchange says :
A large money broker of this city
last Friday discounted $250,000 worth
of grocers’ paper, including, paper given
for teas, &c., at seven per cent , six
months, which may be considered us
indicative of great case in the money
market. A large auction house stated
that out of three hundred customers
only sixty-four had suspended, and of
these only four had failed to pay, either
in full or over fifty cents on the doltar,
which was a much more favorable re
sult than they had been at first led to
anticipate.

Special Correspondence of die Dispatch.
Chattanooga, Tenn., I
March 25, 1858. \
| The Western and Atlantic Railroad
have no building for a depot at this
j point, but in this respect they are on a
| par with the other roads terminating
; here.
i If ihc “ muttcrings, loud and deep,”
! which are heard when the cars arrive
| and depart in stormy weather, were set
jdown in malice against the place itself,
i nothing could save it from the fate of;
; I’ompei and Herculaneum. There seems j
j to be a quarrel in regard to the location,
j the details of which would be uninter
esting at present.
In this matter, I have but one
word of advice to give, and that is,
to build a station house large enough.
| and in the riglijt place, to accommodate
|all the roads now, or ever to be built
j with a terminus in Chattanooga.
I l)o this, and a duty will be aetmn
! plished; not do it, and censure will just
ly fall upon the parties having themat
j ter in charge. The position of the /»- 1
- patch, as to Railroad connection, is well
j known, and I am sure its influence is
| required todevclopo a policy on all the
j roads, from Memphis to Charleston,
, which shall expand the resources of the
j country, build up the cities, and make
them all prosperous together.
I shall visit the coal mines on the
Nashville Road, and go to Memphis
gathering points as I progress,
j I have some developments in store j
n r your readers, which may exhibit;
some phases of Railroad management!
jto be not only mean, but as Brownlow i
Isays, “dog mean.”
The mining interests of this section
are among the most prominent, to which
capitalists can turn their attention. 1 1
know indeed that incompetent and too |
often dishonest men, have, with pro
fessions of skill and integrity of pur
pose, squandered ample stock invest
| inents in these mining operations. Rut
in the article of coal, from the JElna'
mines, with which the people of Augus
ta arc now familiar, there can be no de
ception, and, as a mitter of interest to
the whole South, a concentration of the,
subjects I have named in this letter,
and their application for the pur
poses specified, would temper a blade j
which the Dispatch might wield with,
benefit to the country, credit to its man-;
agement, and cash to its coffers.
The Dispatch , single handed alone,.
and in its infancy, advocated freight!
connection in Augusta. It has now to j
i fight for both freight and passenger con-i
jnection, everywhere its iiifiueuce is felt, J
and it is sure to reign. Peopled out!
like to be levied on in one horse, nor
two horse towns either, and they are:
right, and I desire to see the Dispatch J
their advocate, so that finally no town, i
in the South can boast of the disgrace j
inlaying “tricks on travelers.” i

Doehtlvks gets Married.
We’ve taken a partner for life, and (
I’ve got a wife. In my room a pair of 1
brown gaiters occupy the corner where 1
our boot-jack used to bang, and we flat
ter ourselves that I've made a good bar
gain in the exchange. I now take a re- .
newed interest in the piece of beef, and 1
we bully our butcher with the air of a 1
j respectable married man. We buy my
1 potatoes now myself, and we are not to
be bamboozled out of my spare change
by anybody. Rut I am not a “ male
factor,” and I did not go on a “ train. ”
We have finished all my “ trains,” and
i henceforth claim for ourself the name
of a correct and sober individual. Beer
wo will not take into my mouth, and
our lips shall be sealed when the fes
tive “cocktail” would tempt me to
indulge, nor shall the social “cobbler,”
or the genial “ julip,” or the seductive
“smash” induce me to fracture our
resolution. Ourself is the best judge
of the proprieties of my domestic
life.

| About eight years ago Martha Fieuch
1 of Pembroke, N. 11., became insane, and
! has coiitinned so up to the present
i time. She received medical treatui :nt
j at home but receiving no benefit the r e*
j from, she was removed to the Asylum
lat Concord. After remaining there for
j some time, without any apparent iin
I provement, she was taken to her moth
j er's house at Pembroke, and confined in
her room. In April 1850, she escaped,
j and her bonnet was found upon the
I bank of the river, and this was the only
I trace they could find of her. It was
1 supposed that sue had drowned herself.
\ In order to satisfy themselves more ful- 1
ly uf>on this, they called in the aid of
mesmerism.
s The medium required some article
belonging to the supposed deceased and
was furnished with a p-ir of stockings.
' On receiving them the. mesmeriser be-!
gan to tremble and exclaimed, “Oh, i
I how cold it is down here. Here she is j
lon tiie bottom.’' This settled Ihe ques
j tion in the minds ol many whose ere-j
j dulity was greater than their common j
' sense, iiti'i no thing more was heard of J
i her.
l ast spring the New England Fanmr j
I copied a notice from a Virginia paper
| that “ a maniac n. .. an lmd been taken j
j up and committed to j .11 in Hanover
>| county in that state. It also stated
j that she belonged to Massachusetts, had j
s) worked in the Lowed Mills, and had!
» been in the Insane A-yium at Concord ;
j twice. Her name was not given.
•: fcjom© one acquainted with her sent
the paper to her mother and sister at
! Pembroke. The sister wrote to the jail
i or. who answered that he could not as-|
certain her name, and that she had i
i 1 been transferred to the hospital at \\ il- *
> liumsbuig. The sister then wrote to j
1 the attending physician there, and he j
>j answered that there was no person by j
! that name there, but that they had a
stranger who gave a different name,
! and he knew not where she belonged.
| The sister then wrote for him to ask
; her if she ever had a cat, and if so, what
| was its name. This \yas done, and the
j answered (as the physician understood)
i that Ps name was “ Llttie. He coin- i
i municated this to the sister. She used |
to call her cat Lydia, and the sister J
| thought he might have misunderstood
j her. This, together with the dcserip
, tion given of her by the superintendent,
j led her friends to believe that the per- t
I son there confined was Miss Ftcnch. j
l)r. Simpson of this city had been well
j acquainted with her, and the friends
i engaged him to visit the hospital and
! provided the means to bring her home,
| should he find her. Week before bust
|he visited the hospital and made known 1
j his errand to the superintendent. They i
• went in, and the superintendent sent (
for her to come to the room. On en
[ tering she exclaimed, “Why, why !” 1
, He asked if she knew that man, and she
j replied, “ Why, yes ; he used to doctor j
me; it is Dr. Simpson.” Ihe Doctor
recognized her at first sight. She
would answer all questions rationally. (
On being asked how she came there, (
she replied, “On a boat/’ This was
true. To another question she replied
that she traveled on loot a part of the i
way, and rode in the car some on her (
journey from home. She said they L
gave, her a bonnet, shoes, and other '
clothes, on the road. As soon as she)
had answered a question, her mind. t
seemed to wander most strangely.
The doctor ottered to take her away, j (
but tin being told that nothing would j*
be charged for her hoard thcie until the

£9" A Liver Remedy.—We
wish to say to every pors-vi w ho r .-ads this that 1
there is an silicic known as Dr. Hanford's In
vigurator, or Liver Remedy, which can be relied |
0.. as certain to cure liver ucrnpbht it: any ol
its forma, such a.-: Jaundice, I vspepsia, and nu-1
tnerous other Complaints, dcscrih* tl in another I
column, besides which it is one of the greatest
preparations or cures for consumption, taken in
early stages, that is now known.
Wo take it for granted, an experiment has pr< .
veil that diseases of tl e lungs are not generally
ihe first cause of consumption, hut a debilitated
3, stem, caused by the improper action of the
liver, which reduces the power of the Inn 8 to
resist or throw off discuses caused by cold and
irritation, leayiug the lungs at the mercy of this
disease, bocauso the liver has incapacitated
them from performing their proper action &f
throwing off diseased matter caused by cold.
Thus to prevent consumption, cure the liver
md keep the system strong enough to throw oO
slight diseases of the lungs.
There is not in the world a better liver rerne- j
dy or a cure for debilitated system than Dr. '
Sanford’s luvigorator, for it has beon fully tried
in a large and extended practice till its results
are fully known, and dow it Is offered as a tried
remedy, and one that can be relied on.—Lan
