Pirating Jlispatcj}. ATJG-U ST A, GA: Prldny Kvt iilnc. Miirch i£o, 1838. 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. HP*The Hon. Edward Evuiusrr left Richmond for Boston on Monday morn ing—being suddenly called home bv «c ions illness in bis family. lie was there on his way to meet his engage m nts to deliver his lecture on Wash ington in Lynchburg, and other places in Virginia, and in the cities of more Southern States. Though arrested in his patriotic mission for the present, the Whig understands that he will return to fulfil his appointments, about the first of May 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 ! Committee ” were indicted for murder 1 and on Tuesday surrendered themselves ; to the Sheriff. The jail was literally crammed, and on Wednesday the trial | ’ began. The attorneys for the State, j 1 were Mr. Solicitor Mclvkr, assisted by j 1 Messrs. Richardson and Blanding. For j 1 the defence, Messrs. Dargan & Daroan [ 1 Spain & Norwood, Moses & Haynes- | worth, and Ingus & W’aei.ey. On Sat-i unlay the case was given to the Jury, j and after an absence of an hour and a i half they brought in a verdict of not: guilty. Is Friday- an “Unlucky Day?’’ —The ! 1 year 1858 begins and ends on Friday. January, July, October and December, 1 have five Fridays each. April and De-; ■ eember end on Friday. Thero are fifty ' three Fridays in this year. Wfe trust, ! however, it will not prove more disas- j ' trous than 1857. i The Pitgli Amendment. The following is the “Pugh Amend ment,” recently so much discussed in j the papers, hut which did not pass the - Senate with the Lccompton Constitu r tion Admission hill: Sec. —. And he it further enacted, That the admission of the States of Minnesota ' and Kansas into the Union, by this act, " shall never be so construed as to deny, t limit, or otherwise impair, the right of , the people of the said States, with the assent of their Legislatures, severally ' at ail times, to alter, reform or abolish I their form of government, insuchman . uer as they may think propef, so that the same be still republican and in ac -1 cordance with the Constitution of the United States. (Georgia Items. Tne Empire State says:—A young man by the name of Thomas M. Black, liv ing in the upper part of Henry County, being out “Coon Hunting” on Tues-J day night last came to his death in a very sudden and unexpected manner.-*' It appears that the Coon wafvtu a yf/fy 1 large tree which had to be fellcd'fcf the | party in order to catch him ; ai#F i the tree fell a broken limb sjtrruck Mr. > Black on the head caqgfng instant j death.

He was 1 well known as a prominent citizen of Macon, and for his zealous interest in ! the temperance reform. Tlie Recent Fire in Charleston* The Courier of Thursday says: “The following is a more specific statement of the Cotton destroyed by the fire of Saturday night week, on Auger’s wharf, ’ together with the names of the ■parties on whose account it was stored : Adams ii Frost : : JO:; bales Upland..

We have met several fruit raisers, however, who t express a hope that the orchards have partially escaped. fff It was stated at a recent meeting of the New York Historical Society, that eighty languages are used in busi ness and social intercourse among the inhabitants of that city. tjyf” In a Pittsburg establishment, a few days ago, a large grind stone was turned by machinery with such velocity that it flew to pieces, and a man named Birch was instantly killed and shock ingly mutilated by the fragmeuts.

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.

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 v Yours, &c., S. ] 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. ! Triangle, avaunt 1 Tones, get thee be- Ihind me ! Mareweight, unfit thee !

Depart from ns, Arnold ! tempt me not. We are now a Benedict, and I am de termined to become respectable, steady, and serious. 1 have invented an anti bachelor’s multiplication table, which we have lea ned by heart, and which i commend to the careful considerationo! our readers.— Twice two “smashes ” buys a box oi ; hair pins.

Twice five “ julips ’ buys abreast pin, (female).- Twice six “punches” buys a linen collar (fenittls). Twine seven “ales” buys a pair of shoes, (female). Twice eight “ toddies ” buys a cali co dress, with cloth enough for a basque and pantalettes). Twice nine ‘bitters' buys a summer bonnet, (and leaves a trifle to wauls the veil and trimmings). . Twice ten “ sang.trees” buys a pair of stays, (machine-stitched, with patent eyelets and embroidered down the neck). 'Twice eleven “ slings ” buys a collar and undctylee.ves, and leaves a balance towards the fringe). Twice twelve “ brandy straights ” are good for hooped skirt, (light-house size) two pairs o f long blockings, and a silk parasol. And so on through, ending up with— Twelve times twelve baskets of cham pagne pays house rent for a year, and leaves a margin. It’s astonishing how much I’ve learn ed of the mysteries of feminine apparel in tell days. I know that the dear crea tures trim their bonnets with founda tion muslin; that it takes three breadths and a half to make a dress, and the lower edge of their white skirts ia al ways hem stiched with lace-work. Good-bye, Bachelordom. We are a married individual, though still', as ev er, with a considerable reservation. Yours, Dokstioks, P. B. The Hard Times.—The Ch cago Press has an advertisement, forty columns | long, of lands in that city delinquent [for taxes. This is attributed to the! j crushing effect of the late financial panic. — i Two hundred conversions have taken ! place in Lebanon, Tenn.. during there | vival now in progress in that place. j V\niiilorliig»ofaii li>»iancWonta . | 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 room was wanted by patients belonging] to the fttute, lie thought best to let ■ her j, remain. —Lowell Courier. —■ i 1 TimtTV-FIFTH CONUHKSL Washington, March 23, 1858. ! 1 sesatb. j Every available space about the Sen ate chamber was again occupied to-day j with an anxious crowd. The Kansas bill was resumed. Mr. Green, of Missouii, delivered a power ful speech in favor of the bill, rebutting the arguments of all its opponents. j ( Among other things he stated that Black Republicanism would never cease r i s efforts to crush out true Democracy, j nor meet a barrier to its career until it met tue cannon of the South.

It is understood that the discussion will close on Frida). In committee of the whole, Mr. Single ton, of Mississippi, address 'd the House ] on the Kansas question.

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 caster Whig. mh9 SIT To Make Room for our Sprvutf and Summer stocks, we will sell the re mainder v»r our heavy Whiter Clothing at very reduced price* Co r CASH.
