AUGUSTA. GA:
Wednesday Evening;, April ‘4S
'1 he Eclectic Again.
Three volumes of this incomparable
monthly, for 1857—elegantly hound in
Turkey morocco, arc now on our table.
The excellent stylo of the binding, to
gether with the rich, varied and instruc
tive character of the contents, commend
them to all who desire to enrich their
libraries with the useful as well as with
the ornamental. We append the fol
lowing testimonials of this work, copied
from the subscription book of Mr. Roon,
the Agent, where may be also found
numerous similar notices from eminent
scholars in all sections of the Union.
gays Professor Goodrich, of New Ha
ven:
“I have taken the Eclectic Magazine
since the year 1845, and regard it as by
all means the best of our current period
icals. It contains substantial matter
for scholars and thinking men, and
choice articles of information for all
minds, without ever becoming dry on
the one hand, or flashy and frivolous
on the other. Its worth does not, like
that of much popular literature, de
cline with time, and the 40 bound vol
umes, now in my library, I regard as of
the most permanent vlaue, and often re
fer to.”
Rev. Dr. Gulliver says :
‘ ‘The Eeleccic is a treasure not only for
the literary and professional man, but
also for any intelligent person.
“As a periodical for the family I re
gard it as worthy of ail commendation.
It gives the best articles from the
Foreign Reviews, to which the ablest 1
men of Europe are in the habit of giv
ing their most elaborate productions. It i
will interest all whose minds have not <
been enervated by the literary trash
which unfortunately is so widely dis- I
tributed among our people while it <
cannot fail to enlarge the intelligence i
and elevate the taste of all who habit- i
nally peruse it.
Norwich, July 14, 1857.
Says the Rev. Dr. Davis :
“I consider the Eclectic Magazine un
surpassed, both in its literary and mor
al character, by any other periodical.” ,

Dally Mail to Kdg«-(ield, S. C.
An effort is on foot to establish a daily J
mail route from Augusta via. Edgefield j
C. H ,to 96 Depot, on the Greenville I
and Columbia Railroad. This route is j
unquestionably a public necessity. The (
section penetrated is already an impor
tant tributary to the trade of Augusta, s
and its advantages would be quite as 1
important to our city as to those who e
have started the petition, and we hope 'J
our merchants will lend their names (
heartily to the work. On this subject fl
the Edgefield Advertiser says: 1
Edgefield is one of thelargest, wealth- ®
iest and most populous districtsinSouth 11
Carolina. Her people are a reading peo
ple ; in politics they are sound and re
liable ; and we doubt if another com- o
munity, South or North, hasany higher a
regard for Mr. Buchanan’s Administra- n
tion. They are also a progressive peo- b
pie, and feel now the imperious need of h
more news-facilities, more light. At
present they have but a tri-wcekly mail 1
»oa»h route through the centre of the f
district, and two or three weekly horse- >
mails. These limited means of intelli- e
gence are less, much less, than their j
due. t
Wo have no doubt our representative t
iu Congress will co-operate with the re- ,
presentative from Edgefield District, in
securing the proposed route. i

aggregate wealth of the United States, ,
amounts to $12,000,000,000 and the <
population is twenty-four thousand.— *
The wealth divided by the population, 1
gives SSOO to each person, young and '■

family, it would give the handsome lit- 1

Resumption.
Messrs. Harper & Brother, the well
known and extensive publishers of New
fork, who, with a suiplus of a million
and a half of dollars, independent of the
wealth of the individual members of the
firm, were forced to suspend payment
during the panic of October last, have
again resumed the regular payment of
all their liabilities. The Courier En
quirer of Saturday sayß:
We have known for months, that they
were mrtually paying everything ; and
therefore, were not surprised at receiv
ing from them yesterday, the following
biref note.
To General Were— Dear Sir: The
Manhattan Company will pay our note
on presentation. They have directions In

CUPID SWALLOWED,
BY LEIGH HUNT.
T'other day as I was twining
Roses from a crown to dine in,
What of all things ’midst tiio heap,
Should I light on, fast asleep,
But the little desperate elf,
The tiny traitor, Love himself 1
By the wings I pinched him up
Like a bee ; and in a cup
Os wine I sank him,
And what d’ye think I did ? 1 drank him !
Faith, I thought him dead ; not he I
There he lives with tenfold glee ;
And now this moment, with his wings
I feel him tickling my heart-strings.
Sorglio Sugar Cane.
Gen. Daniel Wallace writes to the
Unionville Journal :
“It is known to the public, I believe,
that during the last summer I made se
veral hundred gallons of molasses from
the juice of the Chinese Sugar Cane.
I understand a report is abroad that j
my crop of molasses lias become sour, j
and is, therefore, worthless. So far as,
I myself am concerned, I care nothing!
for the said report. Knowing from ex
perience, however, that the Chinese Su- j
gar Cane plant is a very valuable one to!
every class of our people, I deem it duel
to the public interest to say that the j
said report is untrue in every particu-!
iar.
“My molasses were of the most supe-|
rior quality when first made, and so far
from having deteriorated in quality:
from any cause, they appear to have im-!
proved from the effects of time, until I
feel warranted in saying, they are now
equal, if not superior, to any syrup man
ufactured in America.

1 The Parke county (Ind.) Republican ,
| relates the following singular instance of t
delusion in regard to relig'ous duty : \ ,
• -It becomes our sad office to record ,
one of the most sad incidents which has
ever fallen under our observation. Mr. "
Aaron Stewart, late a citizen of Boone '
county, but for some five months a citi
zen of our town, has been in a state of (
depression of spirits for about 2 months I
past. Religious excitement seems to i
have overpowered his reason, and ou
Monday night, after the return of him ,
self and wife from church, he conceived (
the idea that the Scripture required him f
to sacrifice his right hand and other
members of his body, under penalty of
eternal punishment. lie at once lefl 1
the house, without making known his '
object, and first perpetrating dangerous i
wounds upon person with a knife. <
he next proceeded with an axe to cut off
Ids right hand. After strikiug five
blows, ranging from the centre of the
hand to some inches above the wrist
joint, and severing the hand from the ,
arm, except some of the tendons, he
walked to the door, fell into it, and
fainted. Dr Rice was called in, who
dressed his wounds, and at the present
writing he is yet alive, though his
wounds are dangerous.

Several persons have been uudor the impres

relieved from Slate lax upon their polls. Such
is not the case. All persons citizens of the
United States, between the ages cf twenty-one
and sixiy who reside here are at least subject
to poll tax. and all persons are required by law
to come iorward and give iu. By so doing, you
will save yourselves from being returned as de
faulter and double-taxed, and me from the dis
agreeable duty of having to do it.

fT Dr. Sanford’s Liver In
vlgorntor is the name of a medicine invalu-
I able to invalids or those troubled with Liver
, Complaint, Jaundice or General Debility, with
derangement of tho system or loss of appetite.
It lias one peculiarly, not common to most
medicines, that is, the Doctor only recommends
it for the cure of Liver Complaint, or such dis
' eases as arise from a disordered Liver, and howr
well it bears the recommendations given is
known to all who use it. We never have known
c a medicine of any kind to perform such a tonisli
iug cures as has been by the INVIGORATOR. It
stems to strengthen and inciyorate the whole
i- body, increasing the vital energy, and giving a
ffow of h- alth to many whose ills were consid
_ cred incurable. We can recommend it know
ingly as a family medicine, for it has been our
host friend in many an hour of sickness. We
wish all to try this remedy and satisfy them
selves . York Gazette-

CERTIFICATE:
We have careful! l ' examined the Cans and Ex
hausting Apparatus of Dr. H. G. Dayton, intend
ed for the preservation of Fruits, Vegetables.
Eggs, Butter, Ac., Ac., and And them construct
ed upon philosophical principles, and admirably
adapted by their simplicity and cheapness lor
common domestic use. The valvural arrange
ment, effected by a bit of oil silk, luid over an
orifice in the Tin Disc covering the jar, and
wnich allows a free escape of the contained air
into the chamber of the Exhauster, and instantly
and off ctual'y closes by the re-admission of at
mosphere by the removal of the gum elastic
ball cover, has long been in use. and is highly
approved by Mr E. T. Ritchie, Philosophical In
■ strument-maker, in Boston, and h s been sue
: ccsslully employed by ourselves in controlling
the action of Chamberlain’s powerful Lever Air
pump. We believe the c nveniencc and ready
adaptation of Mr. Dayton’s improvements will
deservedly recommend them to popular favor.

Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy, Medical
