4£bming Jlispatcb. AUGUSTA. GA: Saturday Evening, May 15, 185 S. Southern Commercial Convention. Since the very first Commercial Con vention held its session, there has been a growing disposition to look upon it a> a farce, so far as commercial matters ai t concerned. The proceedings of this body at Montgomery will not tend to dimin ish the growing feeling of contempt in the public mind. There is not the slightest doubt but that there is a majority of the delegates who really desire to do something foi the business interests of the South, but •hrewd men have taken the Convention into their own hands, and are trying to use what little'of respect and influence it may possess for the advancement of their own political fortunes. Without trying to detract a single iota from the eminent ability of the gentleman from Alabama, who occupied the time of the Convention for so many hours, we maybe permitted to ask what is the opinion as to his modesty, in thus monopolizing, even at the apparent re quirements of his fellow members, so much time on a political obstruction which is so remotely connected with the ostensible objects of the convoca tion. Many members left early in the week, satisfied that nothing would be done worthy of their attention, and from present indications, we are inclined to think the present will be the last of the Southean Commercial Convention. American Anti-Slavery Society. Among the various religious and be nevolent organizations which hold their anniversaries in New York, in the month of May, no one receives so much notice—perhaps we should except the Tract Society—as the Anti-Slavery Society, while it is notoriously the least deserving. Curiosity, however, draws a crowd to their meetings, for there is displayed in greater variety the whims of Fanaticism than at any other gather ing. There may he seen the best exhibi tion of talent without common sense; of brains without a regulator ; of infidel ity with all attendant manifestations, which the world can produce. As usual, the time of the Convention has been used in denunciation of near ly every prominent man inthe country, and every principle of morality and re ligion. The religious revivals which have so .lately occupied the attention of the whole country, is denounced as the work devil. All religious denomina ■n* are set down as the embodiment most of the wkkeduess in their local- W' B Edward Everett comes in for a large yshare of abuse, to the discredit of the concern ; for the abuse he has received here, ought to have shamed their re fined ideas of decency into silence. One of their orators speaks in this wise ‘Were I to go to the plantations of the South, and select the veriest black bondsman, I could not find a more ab ject and degraded slave than Edward Everett.” [Applause and hisses.] It strikes us that some of our breth ren of the press would do well to take lessons of this organization, for their vocabulary of invectives and abuse, is very choice. Kurus Choate, R. C. Winthhop,Ekank 11N Pierce, and James Buchanan, and many others, are denounced in nnmeas cd terms by these freedom-sliriekers.— They even do not spare one another ; no two of them can agree ; each has a theory of his own, and those who do not adopt it are enemies to freedom. Even Horace Greely is not consider ed, by these savans, as a true apostle of their notions of reforms. He had bet ter look to bis honors. Curious .Spring In Alabama. The Talladega Wakhtmcer, in an inter esting review of Professor Tocmey’s last report on the Geology of Alabama, states that near the line between Han cock and Lawrence, there is a spring of liquid bitumen or mineral tar, which is said to he somewhat remarkable for its curative properties and is said to be a known cure for scrofula, cancerous sores, rheumatism and Other diseases in which alteratives are required. The water runs out from a seam or crevice in the lime stone and the tar of bitumen floats on the surface, a black foam, ve-| ry cohesive and insoluble in water.— j The tar can be collected in masses, and! patients visiting the spring often take t m the form of pills, * . Hf” \\ e learn from the Memphis pa- j pers, that three of the twelve Jurors I who served on the Jury in the recent trial of I. L. Bolton for the murder of Me j Millais, and who returned a verdict of j “not guilty,” have been indicted, and! true bills found against them, for the! falsity of astatement ran te by them, un- i aler oath, in relation to 'heir qualifica tions to serve on the jury. Small Pox In Chi ttnnoogn. The report of the prevalence of this 1 loathsome disease in Chattanooga, and which we published a few days since, was almost an error. We learn that there has been but one case, and that an infant who has recovered, and that there is no Small Pox now in the place. 4 Steilinan’s Magazine* This is a new monthly periodical just published at llaleigh, North Carolina, containing sixty-two pages. The design of the publisher is to build up a South ern Literary Magazine, and the present ' number is certainly a good beginning. It is neatly printed, anil the table of i" contents are varied and attractive, and n w ;n com parc favorable with the old and is standard publications of the day. It ' ought to be sustained as a home insti v tutiou. We cheerfully welcome this '■ new candidate for public favor, and 11 hope his most sanguine expectations may be realised. ( Georgia Items. j Michael Hinch, has been convicted ( in Muscogee county for the murder of i Samuel Tract. •i ■ James Guilford, also of Muscogee county, has been found guilty of invol j. untary manslaughter,, in the murder of J. S. Calhoun, and goes to Milledge ville for three years. ( ! John Holland, for burglary, in Co , lumbus has been sent to the Penitentia d , ry four years. ( . William Freeman, a prominent citi zen of Griffin, Ga., died on Tuesday last. Mrs. Dupree, wife of J. W. Dupree, i of Sumter county, was burned so bad on ( Friday last, by her clothes taking fire, that she died in a few hours. She had been married but three weeks. Ballooning in Montgomery. ; An unsuccessful attempt was made to 1 inflate a balloon at the Gas Works on > Monday evening. On Tuesday morn ■ ing the a-rouaut succeeded and made a beautiful ascent and sailed away on the wings of the wind. If the ballon pipe had been connect ed with the Commercial Convention , rooms, at the first attempt, a failure j would hardly have occurred for want of Gass. -- THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. Washington, May 12tli, 1858. SENATE. In addition to other business, Mr. Stuart reported a bill from the Commit tee on Public Lands, establishing land offices in the State of Minnesota. Mr. Pearce introduced a bill to abol ish the offices of registers and receivers of land offices in States where there an no public lands, and to diminish the number of land offices in certain States. Mr. Chandler presented a memorial from the State Agricultural Society of Wisconsin, regulating night signals on i vessels. The Senate resumed the considera tion of the bill for abolishing the laws ■ granting bounty lands to the bank and - cod fishermen. Mr. Wilson opposed the bill, and in j the course of his speech contended that the fishermen are the source whence our 1 naval marine service is to be replenish < ed in cases of emergency, and that they , are generally intelligent and worthy citizens, far superior to foreign seamen. 1 These fisheries are the schools in which - such men acquire their nautical science, and the bounties are an inducement for t them to engage in these pursuits.— " This subject was laid aside. Mr. Toombs presented a letter from 1 Henry M. Rice, asking to be sworn in as a Senator from the new State of Min nesota. Mr. Harlan said the people of a cer tain part of Minnesota objected to Mr. • Rice’s taking his seat, charging that he had committed certain frauds upon them. After a fiery debate he was sworn in. He said be was willing for an investi gation, and that if he could not exon erate himself from the charges he would resign his seat. He denied them in toto. A resolution for a committee of in vestigation was submitted but laid over. The Senate then resumed the discus sion on the bill to repeal the fishing bounties. HOUSE.

The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach ! lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining ederaent, is relieved by a single ! course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric fluid rc acquires its solvent power, and the crude nutriment, which was a load and a to the sufl'erer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous'anfferer. 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, fborne down ar.d dispirited by that ; terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition 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, i invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous | organization. !
