AUGUSTA, GA:
Thursday Evening, April 1,1535.
Not an Agent.
It is proper to state that Mr. Jamb*
Tarbokough is not an authorized agent
for the Dispatch, -and we are not respon
sible for any collections made by him
at any time.
Periodicals, Ae,
The Atlantic Monthly. —We took oc
casion last month to notice favorably
this new candidate for popular favor in
the field of American literature. The i
April number is now before us with a j
table of contents quite varied, and not
without interest to a certain school of
readers. We cannot, however, forbear
to express our unqualified condemna
tion of its sectional, anti-republican sen
timents, so artfully diffused through its
leading papers. Its abuse of the Presi
dent is bitter, unjust and contemptible,
and will very goon destroy much of the
appreciation candid men everywhere
would evince for this able periodical.—
The article in question characterizes
Mr. Buchanan as indulging in the
‘■small wiles of a village attorney,” and
accuses him of a pettifoging style of
special pleadiag in his souud and patri
otic papers in reference to the issues
that have agitated the country during
his Administration. It is altogether
such an article as will suit the popular
taste among the Cape Cod or Exeter
Hall fanatics, but is not fair, national
or manly. The Atlantic Monthly
should eschew such clap-trap if it would
extend the sphere of its influence thro’
the scope indicated by its name.
Packing Juries,
The disgraceful expose recently made
in Philadelphia, in the Frebth case, ,
illustrates to what an extent juries may
be suborned, and verdicts controlled by
outside influence. The facts in the case
of Freeth were Buch that the deliber
ate killing could not be disputed. An
attempt was made in the street publicly
by Freeth to shoot his victim Smith,
with a pistol. A bystander knocked it
out of his hand. Smith ran and took l
refuge in a public house. Freeth stop
ped to pick up his pistol, pursued Smith
into the public house, where he shot (
him unresisted, discharging three bar- .
rels of his revolver at him, the halls of (
oach one of which took effect in his bo- t
dy. His victim was killed upon the spot. ,
When placed on trial, Freeth' s counsel ,
exhausted the regular panel by his chal- ;
lenges, and special jurors were ordered
to be summoned. The deputy sheriff (
ami a lieutenant of the police effected
this in such away that a majority of ,
the jury were bound to acquit Freeth.
The facts being undisputed, the defence (
set up was the never failing plea of in
sanity. Os this there was hut slight
proof, but that did not result as was ’
Supposed, for it was thought by those
interested for the defence that the jury
would acquit Freetm. The facts were
too glaring ; there was nothing where
on to found a sympathy for Freeth, be
sides he was not a member of either of
the political parties. They determined
sonsequently, that lie should suffer
some, and so brought in a verdict of
manslaughter.
W. 11. Laird, deputy sheriff, and Sam
uel Carson, a lieutenant of police, have
>een arrested on the charge of gross cor
ruption.
The details show that there are men
always hanging about the City Hall,
ready to serve on juries, and by the
aid of perjured officers, enough at least
of them are empannelled to control
verdicts, and defeat the ends of justice.
Nor are such nefarious practices confined
to Philadelphia. A closo observer of
the courts in any part of the country,
will very soon see enough to convince
him that the right of trial by jury is
not half as valuable as it was designed
to be.
Georgia Item*.
On last Saturday evening, Miss Louisa
Gantt, met by pre concert, at Franklin,
or some other point on onr West Point
Railroad, Mr. LaFayette Taylor, for
merly of Augusta, Georgia, and at, or
near West Point, the lovers were united
I>7 some true Christian of a priest or
Justice. Mr. T. had been forsome time
in the employment of his bride’s fa
ther, who disapproved the match.
Sunday morning last an altercation
occurred at Fort Gaines, Georgia, be
tween Mr. Alexander Marshall and
Mr. Warren Sutton, in which the lat
ter was killed. The difficulty, we un
derstand, grew out of an old law suit
•f several years standing, in which
much personal feeling and acrimony
were engendered.
There is to be a Charity Calico Dress
Rail in Savannah on Tuesday next.
The stockholders ot the Georgia and
Alabama Railroad Company, held a
meeting in Rome on the 21st ult., stock
to the amount of one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars was repre
sented and confidence expressed in the
speedy arrangement of the prelimina
ries so as to soon commence the impor-
Ant enterprise.
Governor Brown has issued his pro
clamation offering a reward of one hun

the murder of Wm. Ivey, in Putnam j
county on the 9th of March, and a sim- i
ilar reward for the apprehension of
Thomas W. Thomas, convicted of mur

Revival Intelligence.
That our readers may know wliat
blessings are descending upon the
> Church, we condense from some of our
exchanges, the items we find, and give
them, together with such revival intel
ligence as we have on hand.
Augusta.— Meetings are held nightly
at most of the Churches. A number
have professed religion, and several ac
! cessions have been made to the churches;!
but the most gratifying evidence of the |
power of the work, is its steadily pro-;
grcssive manifestations. There is no
excitement, hut a deep and general se
riousness prevails.
Charleston.— The union meetings at
the Circular Church, held at 5 o’cloc
each afternoon, have been deeply inte
resting. Here Presbyterian, Episcopal,
Baptist and Methodist Pastors and their
flocks have united in special prayer.— j
The capacious building has been filled,
and a deep seriousness and occasionally I
marked emotion have pervaded the as
sembly. Many of the Churches are al
so holding special services this week ei
ther by day or by night. In nearly all
! the Churches from which we have heard,
the last Sabbath was a day of unusual
interest. The Cumberland St. Church
has been open nightly for (now) the
fourth week, and large serious audi
ences, and many conversions attest the
presence of God. This is a union meet
ing of the Methodist Churches, and all i
our congregations are sharing in the la
bors and result.
Wilmington, N. C.~ln Front St Church
(Dr. I)EEM’s)thcre are services twice dai
ly. Hundreds flock to the noon pray
er-meeting. persons have been
converted.
Citiibert,Ga. —An interesting meeting
is in progress.
Summer! ild, Ala.—A letter from
Bishop Andrews says ‘ 1 we have lately
had a most interesting revival here—
some sixty or more conversions and ad
ditions to the church, and yet the revi
val spirit continues.”;
St. Louis, Mo.—ln Centenary Church,
eighty-three have been added, the best
and most substantial gathering into the
fold ever known. ,The same paper in !
five notices, gives account of the con
version of about three hundred persons. :
The St. Louis Presbyterian, says that the
work in that city is extending amongst
all denominations. That journal for
the last week has about an entire page
occupied with short notices of revivals.
Surely there is reason for wonder and
for gratitude at these manifestations of
the stately steppings of the Lord.
A revival of much interest has been
going ou at tiic Methodist church in
Athens for some days past. It began at g
the quarterly meeting held on Sat- ■
urday and Sunday, and lias been pro-!,
grossing ever unco. Ministers and 1
members of other denominations are as- f
fisting at these meetings.
r Col. Benton is confined to his bed j
with cancer of the stomach. He works i
upon his abridgment of the Congres- 1
sional Debates as steadily as ever, and ’
hopes to live long enough to finish it. .

fit;** Military College.— We learn;
from Charlotte (N. C.) Whig that on
Saturday last the citizens of that town
voted to instruct the Town Commis
sioners to subscribe SIO,OOO for the pur
pose of erecting a Military College in
that place. The vote for the appropria
tion 155, against it 80.
Billy Bowlegs.
The rumor that this indomitable war
rior had agreed to surrender, is said by
the Savannah Republican to be incorrect
That paper has information from Tam
pa of a later date than the number of
the Messenger which announces the Bur
render of Bowlegs, and so far from hav
ing surrendered his sword and gone in
to that place with ids whole party, the
negotiations for a removal were still
progressing. The prospect, however,
was favorable, and we think it probable
than an arrangement has been consum
mated by this time.

Knlglit of Mount Vernon.
. | A gentleman of Alabama having been
fj constituted a “Kinght of Mount Ver
. non,” the Tuscaloosa Monitor wants to
, know what this is. Having asked the
. question it goes on after this style.
“But a ‘ Knight of Mount Vernon’ to
he associated in idea .with the Republican
simplicity of the citizen George Wash
ington does sound so ludicrously ridicu
lous that we can only he surprised that
: Mr. Yancey, or any othersensible man
. in this country, would accept the foolish
title. Washington from his very heart
! loathed these gewgaw titles and non
■ sensical distinctions of European regal
i-m and snobocracy, and every true scion
of American freedom should detest them
just as cordially.

■ his family to the South, and the Sen
ate must electa President pro. tern.
j A ballot was then taken, when Mr.

The bill for the admission of Min

only in the House of Representatives.
The Senate was in session when the
report was closed.

The House proceeded to the consider
ation of the resolution of Mr. Sherman,
of Ohio, heretofore submitted, provi
ding for a special committee of five
members, to be appointed by the chair,
whose duty it shall he to take into con
sideration the best mode of taking the
census of 1800, with leave to report by
bill or otherwise during the session com
mencing on the first Monday of Decem
ber next.
The House refused to suspend the

tion.
’l'lic House then weut into a Commit
tee of the Whole on the State of the
Union—Mr. Bocock in the chair—and
took up the deficiency appropriation
bill.
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, made a speech
in favor of the admission of Kansas

Mr. Ready advocated Lecompton.—
Other gentlemen participated in the de

Interesting from tile Coast of Africa.
United States Stirp Vincennes, I
Monravia, Jan. 26, 1858. j ;
I did not expect to write you so soon
again, but our stopping at Sierra Leone
induces me to do so from this point.
Our visit to Sierra Leone was to re j
quire explanation from the English re
lative to the seizure of the American !
ship Thomas Watson, taken whilst in ’
legal trade up.rn the coast. This act was |
indeed a gross outrage upon our flag,
for the evidences of anything like pre- ’
paration for this trade did not exist,and '
they further more had no right to de- |
tain, board or examine any American
vessel. In this they have overstepped 1
every restraint that our treaty calls for, '
and that glorious flag gives now no pro- '
tection if this he submitted to. It is a
great pity that our laws relative to the
slave trade are not more lenient,as their
stringency throws into the handsof the
English all the prizes, which fact I will
endeavor to illustrate. Suppose a ves
sel lits out in New York and sails for
the coast She will run the gauntlet of
the cruisers easily, for the appurtenances
are generally kept at the intended point
of embarkation of the negroes ; and
besides, tlie cruisers would rather let ,
them get in, to make them mor • valua- i
ble -on leaving. Suppose the vessel ,
loads and starts, Yankee cruisers being t
few,she easily dodges_them,and the Eng
lish catch her, board and the American ,
refuses to show papers or give the Eng- (
libhinan any satisfaction, pointing to t
his flag. Whilst detained, the negroes
below give undoubted evidence of be- i
ing aboard The English cruiser says, ]
“ Well, I will take you to the nearest
American cruiser and give you up.”— <
Upon which the Yankee captain pro- l
tests, hut gets no satisfaction. Finding i
it useles longer to resist, he invites the
boarding officer down into the cabin, i
with some signs of having been satisfied. :
When the officer goes on deck he lii ds
English colors flying, and the papers •
have been thrown overboard And -
why is this? Simply because, if hand ■
ed over to an American vessel, the cap
tain and crew go to prison, whilst the '
English rneiely take the vessel and let
the captain and crew go. This is the
manner in which the English get all
their prizes ; at least so my informant
tells me.
Our squadron here is of no use what- •
ever ; one little steamer would do more
to suppress the trade than the two sloops
and trigale—almost useless in these re
gions of cams and light winds. I learn
that tlie French have now two large
ships loading in the Cango—l,2oo ne
groes each—protected by their own
cruisers. This is outrageous, and trea
ties are of no avail if this is to be —Cor 1

Suicide.
We learn that Henry Linstedt, a
young German, shot himself at half
past eleven o'clock last night, with a
pistol, at the house of John H. Rickers,
of Mary and Nassau streets. Mr. Rick'
ers retired to bed at eight o’clock, and
Linstedt at ten o’clock—both sleeping
in the same bed Mr. Rickers was
awakened at the hour above mention
ed, by the discharge of a pistol, and
upon procuring a light, found that Lin
stedt was dead, he having discharged
the contents of the pistol into his
mouth.— Charleston Owner

ground of nationality in favor of the
admission of Kansas without the Le

([IT The Gr ea t P r oblesti ’
j Solved j—I)R. MORSE’S INVIGORATING (’OK-1
I?IAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. 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 in the system, the j
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, home down and dispirited "by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnatural condition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
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 be the greatest boon that
woman Ims ever received from the h.v ds 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'
j which is to be subjected to their action. As an
! appetiser it has no equal in the Pharrflacopia.
If long liJo and the vigor necessary to its on* :
I joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
j precioa • worth
Its beneficial effects arc not confined to either j
J sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing i
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn j
man of business, the victim of nervous depres- j j
sion, the individual suffering from general do y
bility or from the weakness of a single organ j *
will all find immediateand permanent rolhf from <■
the osp of this incomparable renovator. To 1
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible malady. There are 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 with disease as it exists, without re
ierence to the causes, and will not only remove
the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution d

(IT A Lifer Remedy.—We ;
wish to say to every p.erson who reads this that e
there is an article known as Dr. Sanford's In
vigoratnr , or Liver Remedy, which can bo relied
ou as obtain to cure liver complaint in any of I
iis forms, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and nu
merous other Complaints, described in another
column, besides which it is one of tho greatest J
preparations or cures for consumption, taken in
early stages, that is now known.
Wo take it lor granted, as experiment h is pri •
ven that diseases of the lungs are not generally (
the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated (
a., stem, caused by the improper action of the
liver, which reduces the power of the lun s to 1
resist or throw off discuses caused by cold and
irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of this
disease, because tho liver has incapacitated f
them from per Terming their proper action es
throwing off diseased matter caused by cold.
Thus to prevent cunsumption, cure the liver (
and keep the system strong enough to throw oil |
slight diseases ol the lungs.
There is not in the world a hotter liver reme
dy or a cure for debilitated Bystem thau Dr.
Saniord’B Invigorator, for it lias been fully tried
iD a large and extended practice till its results
are fully known, and now it 10 offered os a tried
remedy, and one that can bo relied on.—-Lan
