Wednesday Evening, Slay I : 1858. |
Columbus Sim.
The Columbus Sun, not having reliev- j
ed itself of its bilious secretions on Ed- |
waud Eyeriti, lets loose a brilliant
ray at our expense, because we intima
ted that Mr. Everett was not invited |
South to be tried for abolitionism, but
came at the instance of the Southern
Matron, as a venerated statesman, and
distinguished orator, to advance a great
national enterprise. That paper is wel-1
come to indulge its unfounded charge.-,
of toadyism against ue, to its hearts
content—it cannot make anybody who
has read the Dispatch believe them—and
we could not, by writing a column,
widen his obtusity of comprehension on
the subject—therefore we leave him to
the enjoyment of all the laurels he has
gained by accusing us of running after
adventurers from the old country or
the new. Contemptible as we regard
toadyism of every kind, we always pre
fer exaggerated praise to coarse detrac
tion and unmerited abuse, which the
Sun seems to take so much delight in
heaping upon everything that does not j
fester in its own hot-bed of sectional- j 1
ism. i (

Higher Life.
Men are so inclined to content them -
selves with what is commonest, the j
spirit and the senses so easily grow dead ,
to the impressions of the beautiful and
the perfect—that every one should ,
study, by all methods, to nourish in his
mind the faculty of feeling these j
things. For no man can bear to be en- (
tirely deprived of such enjoyment; it is
only because they are not used to taste of j j
what is excellent that the generality of the j (
people take delight in silly and insipid j
things, provided they are new. For
this reason one ought every day, at U
least, to read a good poem, see a fine j
picture, and, if it were possible, to
speak a few reasonable words, but espe
cially to peruse some pages of the “Ec
lectic Magazine,” which, like some tall
pine tree in the Observation Mountain, •
stands out clear and distinct, head and
shoulders above the common growth of
the literature of the times.
Good people of Augusta, and stran
gers from abroad, now is the very time
to commence with the new volume of
the ‘‘Eclectic" beginning with the May
number; and if, perchance, the Agent
should call on you, please not to harp
upon the string of that old excuse—
“ We've already more than we read,”
(which we don't doubt in the least. ) but
be persuaded to try for one year, at
least, in addition to familiarity with
American literature, access to the best
productions emanating from the old homes
if civilization and cultivated thou fit.
rWe learn from our exchanges
that the small pox has made its appear
ance in Chattanooga.

New York Herald on tlic Charleston
Banks.
The New York Herald, in a late arti
cle on the resumption of specie pay
ments by the Charleston Banks, says :
“ The Charleston Mercury, which, as
everybody knows, is diseased on the
subject of the dissolution of the Union
and the formation of a Southern con
federacy, considers that the revulsion
‘was another of the agreeable incidents
of the Union,’ in which the South was
‘convulsed by its connection with the
North and, with hard hearted cruel
ty, goes on to argue that, however vi
tally important it may be for the inter
ests of the North that the South Caro
lina banks should resume specie pay
ments, and whatever embarrassment
their present state of disgrace may cause
to the great mercantile interests of
this section, the bankers of the South
should keep ever in view their private
duty; in a word, “ should resume
when exchange is about to be in favor
of the South ” We have no objection
to say that it is about as sensible a sug
gestion as we have ever read in the
Charleston Mercury. Resuming before
the exchanges were in favor of the
Charleston banks, would have been
about as difficult for those promising
institutions as it is for a man to ride on
horseback without a horse. We hope,
therefore, that their managers will fol
low the advice of their newspaper coun
sellor, and will not resume before they
can. As to this section of the country,
we will bear up against a prolongation
of the South Carolina bank disgrace.—
We are a people of great fortitude in
this meridian, and we will nerve our
selves to endure a few weeks more ago
ny. Hitherto our banks have gone on
bravely, just as if there had been no
trouble at Charleston; of course this
was all affectation, but we will try to
keep up a semblance of ease and indif
ference a little longer. Don’t let the
Charleston bankers worry themselves
on our account. We will bear up.
Treasury Prospects.
The veteran Washington correspon
dent (Ion) in his last letters to the Sun, j
remarks as follows respecting the reven
ue prospects of the government:
“ It may be remarked that there is
more money in the country at this time
than at any former day, and trade is
about to revive in all its branches, when
the revenue is likely to come in in
floods.” — National Intelligencer.
In floods! The foreign imports here
in New York city, for April, 1858, show
for the month of April, but little more
than half the amount of April, 1858-57;
and, therefore, do not indicate much of
a flood. Thus:
1856. 1857. 1858.
April $20,057,836 $21,218,310 $11,169,025
The decrease in 1858, since 1857, has been for
January : : 7 $10,901,013
February : : : 16,315,449
March : : : 9,405,802.
April : : : 10,049,293
$46,071,557
A decrease of more than 50 per cent,
since the corresponding month of 1857 !
This does not look like a flood in New
York,, where nearly two-thirds of the
imports are made.
I The Treasury, the fact is, has, and
I will, all the summer, have to go through
j depletion. As the next crop comes for
ward, and starts business, merchants
! will begin their European orders. If
the Secretary of the Treasury makes any
; other calculation than this, he will be
high and dry before Congress reassem
| hies. Better now for him that he be
I preparing for a loan, if necessary, on
' more Treasury notes.— New York Express.

and able report, on the subject, conclu
ding with the following resolutions ;
1. Resolved, That Slavery is right and
j that being right there can he no wrong
i in tlie natural means to its promotion.
2. Resolved, That it is expedient and
i proper that the foreign Slave Trade
| should be re-opened, and that this Con
vention will lend its influence in every
| legitimate way to that end.
3. Resolved, That a Committee of one
I from each State he appointed of the
; means consistent witli the duty and ob
ligation to take steps to re-open the
Slave trade, and that they report their
plan to the next Convention.

ly it could not be done.
Roger A. Prior opposed the whole
scheme. Pending its discussion,theCon
vention adjourned until 9 o’clock to
morrow. S.

arid increased demand for money, to
day created a further dullness. The
unsettled position of the government,
and the possibility of an early dissolu

the defeat of the India bill also acted
unfavorably.
The London Morning Herald of this
date says that the opposition last night
to the ministerial plan was not formi
dable.
The Daily News says that there is not
the slightest doubt, if Lord Derby is
defeated on any important question,
that the cabinet will be dissolved.

Solved I—HR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
. DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
I lias 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
1 the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed ami unstrung, becomes, under the
' wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sull'erer, 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, [borne down and dispirited by that
' terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
‘ 1 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
i tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
.! from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
.1 invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
j organization.
■ j Females who have tried it are unanimo-s in
'! declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
ij woman has ever received from the bauds of
| medical men.
Morse's Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
i mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
1 While it renews the strength of the digestive
i powers it creates a desire for the solid materia!
I which is to be subjected to their action. As ar.
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
| If long life aud the vigor necessary to its en
! joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
I precious worth
! Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
■ sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
j wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
, man of business, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general do
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
willall fiud immediateaudpermanentrell< ffrom
the use of this incomparable ren »vator. To
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
i Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
) lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
I the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con
