(Bcning Jlispalcjj. 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 died dollars for the apprehension of Cbarlsb T. Lawrence, charged with 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 der in Lee county, who escaped from jail on the night of the 7th February last. • 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. . j —•». 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. — g?J” Dr. James Mecham, one of thej oldest and most respectable citizens of! Greene county, Ala., died at his resi-j dence near Eutaw, on the 21st ult., af ter an illness of two months. --•* g!F" A stranger, apparently near forty years of age, died suddenly at the Man sion House in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on the 2ld ult. He had registered his name “John Hennig, N. C.” fivT’ Williams, who was tried last week at Marion Court House, for the murder of James Deracken, in January last, has been acquitted. The Washington Union says that the Georgetown (1) C.) College is now one of the most flourishing and well arran ged institutions in the country. The College numbers 311 students, and the medical department from 35 to 40 mem tiers, many of them eminent in their profession. “ Tickets notTranspekable. —At a late colored ball in New York the following “ M ported on the door-post mt d uni y IT"' 6 ' No pieman ad unless he cornea himadf.” 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.

Washington, March 29, 1858. : I senate. Mr. Fitzpatrick informed the Sena ! tors that the Vice President has been 5 compelled to leave (he capital to take ■ his family to the South, and the Sen ate must electa President pro. tern. j A ballot was then taken, when Mr. Fitzpatrick received 28 ; Mr. Fessenden 12, and Mr. Hamlin 1. Mr. Fitzpatrick was declared elected, | and having been conducted to the chair ’ by Messrs. Slidell and Foster, made a r few appropriate remarks. -j Mr. Pugh presented a memorial from citizens of Cincinnati, asking that the '| public lands of Arizona be given to the ' j actual settlers. Mr. Broderick presented the joint rcs . olutions of the California Legislature, asking for the protection of the Pacific coast. I Mr. Benjamin reported a hill for the better security of the lives of passen- I gers on steam vessels. Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, called up I the bill for relieving Major Dashields, ; of the liability for the loss of 523,000, Government money, lost overboard by him while acting as paymaster in the I I army, the hill was passed. The bill for the admission of Min • nesota into the Union was taken up for ] consideration. After debate, the Sen ate rejected an amendment of Mr. Ma son, giving the State one representative only in the House of Representatives. The Senate was in session when the report was closed. HOUSE. 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 rules for the reception of the resolu 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 under the Lecompton Constitution. Mr. Wade delivered his views against the extension of slavery, saying that there can he no reconciliation between slave and free labor. Mr. Ready advocated Lecompton.— Other gentlemen participated in the de bate, when the House adjourned. 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 N. Y. Herald. 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 IMS? NEWS! BY TELEGRAPH- Genera! Intelligence by the Persia, | Nothing of much interest has trans- 1 pireil in Parliament. The East India] Loan bill, after much discussion in Par-! liament, had been passed. Couni Persigny had resigned the 1 French mission in London. [Rumors' were current a week before in Paris, j that the Count would resign this mis ; sion, and take the place of Count ; Walewski, as Minister of Foreign Affairs] in France.] It was currently stated that the French navy was to be placed on a war footing. It was confidently stated in Madrid that the vexed questions between Spain and Mexico h.ul been amicably, settled. The United States sloop-of-war Cum- j berland, the llag ship of the African squadron, had been in very imminent peril during a hurricane oft the Island of Madeira. Two of her men were lost during the storm. IVe have dates from Canton to Janu-j ary 28th. No reply up to that time} had been received from tire Emperor. The allied forces would ascend the Ho river with a fleet of gun boats, manned with four hundred French and one thousand English from the garrison at j Canton. The Euglish were erecting strong works on the island of Bereim. There is a further deficiency in Teas reported. Congressional. Washington, March 81.—In the S«n --• ate to-day the Minnesota hill was 1 amended so as to allow two representa ’ tives, until a census was taken. The House was engaged in the discus ! sion of tiie Kansas bill, and Messrs. Stephenson, of Kentucky, and Gilmer, of North Carolina, made speeches. Ten o'clock P. if—The House is still in session. Mr. Gilmer, of North Caro lina, in his speech, took the broad ground of nationality in favor of the admission of Kansas without the Le compton Constitution, and wished the people of Kansas to settle all vexed questions themselves. Hr. Miles, of South Carolina, made an effective speech in favor of the ad mission of Kansas under the Lecomp ton Constitution. Mr. Zollicoffer, of Tennessee, regret ted to separate from political friends, but he was determined to vote for the Lecompton Constitution. It is generally believed that the vote to-morrow will be very close. Gen* Zollicoffer’s defection has deranged the calculations of yesterday, when the Pie publicans counted on a majority. They still count on the votes of Democrats who are regarded as wavering. The House will probibly be in session all night. Market Reports.

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 I.OS?

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 caster WJiig. nxbW Ifto iAhbrrfiscmcnts.
