AUGUSTA. GA:
Monday Evening. May 84,1555.
Send ua the Slewt.
We earnestly repeat the invitation we
have so often extended our readers, to
send us any item of current news that
may come to their knowledge. We
have alreatly a valued corps of special
correspondents, but we would increase
them, until eveiy village and hamlet
in this and the adjoining States will
have some one to take notes for the
Dispatch. Accounts of the growing
crops, and the prices of produce are es
pecially solicited.
Port Royal and Hamburg Railroad.
At the late so-called Commercial Con
vention, efforts were made to bring the
harbor of Port Royal, S. C., into favor
able notice. It is said to combine many
very important advantages, in point of
health, in the facilities affords for ship
ping, and in its accessibility from all
points of the interior. The Batten
in the East affords space for wharves
one mile in length, with 30 feet of wa
ter, 600 feet in width, with anchorage
ground extending several miles below
There isyno marshy land in the vicinity,
and hence the healthfulness of Port
ltayal is considered a foregone conclu
sion.
We have seen in the Barnwell Sentinel
some of the advantages of tho location
of Port Royal, set forth, in connection
w ith a railroad from Hamburg to An
derson. Such a road it is said, would
place Anderson 180 miles from the At
lantic at Port Royal, while it is 257
miles by railroad from Charleston. It
would place Charleston 55 miles nearei
to Anderson, also. The advantages ol
Port Royal in connection with the trade
of the West is stated as follows :
Kuoxvilie is 195 miles from Ander-
Bon, 375 miles from Port Royal, aud
•152 miles from Charleston, so with a
Railroad from Hamburg to Anderson,
Knoxville can be reached from the At
lantic in 15 or 20 hours, and it would
be 77 miles nearer the Atlautic than it
is now by any routo. It would 180 mile*
nearer Port Royal than Savannah, and
123 miles near than Richmond, Ya.—
When the Road from Knoxville to Han
ville, in Kentucky, is completed, an uri
interupted chain will connect Cincinna.
ti with Port Royal, a distance of aboui
025 miles. Cincinnati will be just th<
same distance from Port Royal as it is
from Baltimore, thus, the State will
gain much by being able to reach, at a
comparative short distance, the wheat
flour, corn, bacon, lard, salt,lime, whis
key, tobacco, homes, mules and cattle
in which Hasten Tennessee and Kentuc
ky abounds, and which this State large
ly imports. A large portion of the Ba
con and Lard consumed in this State,
now finds its way here, by shipment
from Cincinnati to Baltimore, 625 miles,
then to Charleston, 050, being 1,275
miles.
Thu! it is quite apparent that Port
Royal would become considerable of a
place, if it had the chance, but we con
fess that its prospoctsare rather dub
ous when we consider the capital and
other facilities enjoyed by the older
commercial emporiums of the section.
Revlvnt Statistics.
The New York papers present the fol
lowing table of statistics of the late re
vivals. Without for a moment suppos
ing that it even approximates accuracy,
we present it for the inspection of the
curious. It exhibits, we think, the
sneaking and contemptible disposition
of certain figure-mongers North to de
preciate the standard of moral and re
ligious influence South. Who has any
idea that the late conversions in the
State of Georgia do not exceed 260 ?
We copy from the New York Day Booh:

A Devout Mourner Arrested.
The Boston Traveller gives a sorry ac
count of the fate of a devout mourner,
recently arrived in that city from New
Fork, and who seems to be gotten up
much upon the same plan of an occas
ional genaral witness who turns up
down East to swear in every case which
may come before the honorable court,
of course looking out for an “ honest
penny ” in the operation. The Travel
ler says :
A New York Pickpocket named Hat
field lias done an extensive business by
ittending funerals where it is the cus
tom to press to the side of the coffin
*nd mingle his tears with tho-e of the
bereaved friends of the departed. While
thus lavishing his sympathies upon the
mourners, he contrived generally to re
lieve a number of them of tile valuables
in their pockets. So many tears has lie
shed, and so many pockets has he pick
ed at funerals, that he obtained the sub
riquet ot the “ Chief Mourner,” among
the police and his own circle of ac
quaintances. He has been arrested.
The Berlin journals are filled with
the accounts of the marriage by proxy
of the King of Portugal with the Prin-i
jess Stephanie of Hohenzolleru-Sigmar
ingen, which was celebrated with great
pomp. One paper says :
Among the exalted personages pre I
rnnt were the Prince of Prussia, the!
Prince and Princess Frederic William,
he Princess of Prussia, Prince and Prin
jess Frederic Charles, and the other!
nembers of the Royal family; tiie am
bassadors, and other persons of distinc
tion. The bride, on reaching the church
ras received at the entrance by the
Prince Bishop of Breslaw and his clergy.
The Princess wore a dress of Brussels
lace, with three Bounces of English lace
irnamented with small boquets of myr
tle and orange flowers. After the cere
nony, tin- young Queen was led to her
jarriage by the Prince of Prussia, after
which the Royal party all left the
Church.
Louisiana Intelligence.
The Greenburg (St. Helena) Imperial,
if the 15th inst., says :
We are now in the enjoyment of clear
>almy weather, though the nights and
norniugs continue rather cool. The ro
:ent rains, together with the late warm
lays, have tended greatly to improve
he growing crops, and the propects are
lecidedly more encouragi.ig The late
rosts did not do as much injury as was
it first anticipated. Fruit promises to
ie in ahundauce.
The Clinton (East Feliciana) Demo
jrat, of the 15th says :
Again on Sunday night last our par
sh was visited with a most delightful
rain. Since then the skv has been clear
and the weather cool. Corn looks fine.
Jetton also, except now and then we
lear complaints of the plant dying on
•omc plantations. The oat crop is a
'allure. It ha 6 been blighted by the
ust, a circumstance unknown in this
region before. The cause no one seems
ible to divine. The sugar cane is said,
>y good judges, to be excellent. The
ocusts are on the increase. Their con
inual song is like the roar of a distant
waterfall.
The Plaquemiue (Iberville) Sentinel,
of the 15th, has the following :
Every one whom we have hoard ox
press anything on the subject, states
that at the present time our agricultu
ral prospects were never finer—the cane
is in a very forward condition, being a ]
foot, at least, higher than it was at
this season last year ; and corn as favo- '
rable as could lie wished. As yet we
have not had a crevasse in parish,andas
ourleveesare good, and ourour commis
sioners vigilant, we have but little fear
ofsuch disasters.
The l’ointo Coupee Echo, of the 15th,
says :
While riding through some portions
of our parish, we had occasion to notice
the crops, and we do not hesitate to say
that we have never seen the prospects
more cheering for a tremendous crop.
From every quarter we have the most
flattering reports of the coming crop,
and unless we have crevasses, the plan
ters of Pointe Coupee will reap an abun
dant harvest.
"Out- of I In- First Families.”
The import of this very common
phrase is not generally that the house
hold so designated, is of tho very
nigheststanding,in point of intelligence
of patriotism, of piety, or of usefulness.
But it is counted “ one of the first fami
lies,” because it is the most aristocrat
ic ; or the most wealthy : or the most
flattered, fashionable, and frivolous.— j

Slave Labor.
The Jamaica Standard asserts that
every hundred weight of sugar, growing
in Jamaica, costs fully one hundred per
cent, more than the same quantity does
in Cuba—slave labor in the later place
being the cause of the difference.

The St. Paul’s (Minnesota) Times tells
of an Irishman in that city, who was

IfsTGeneral Presentments
of the Grand Jury of Richmond county, for the
Second Week of May Term, 1858—the Hon. WM.
W. HOLT presiding.
We, the Grand Jury for the second week of
May Term, 1858, having been engaged mostly
in the Court Room, and our predecessors of the
first w eek having so well perfortr ed their vari
ous duties, and made such satisfactory reports
l of the state of ou>’ County Treasury—the haud
, some manner iu which the books of the Ordi
nary anti the Clerk of the Superior and Inferior
Courts are kept—the general good condition of
our roads—the slate of the Poor House and the
Jail, in which the comforts of the inmates have
been properly attended to, there remaius but
. little for us to present.
We are pleased to state that but few present
1 moots were laid before us, and while this may
; indicate a healthy tone of morals in the com
munity. we are compelled to present outrages
of a nature injurious to the good ordor, peace
and prosperity of our county.
The first to which we would call the attention
of every well-wisher of the land is the large
•lumber of establishments in which intoxicating
liquors are sold.
The heart of the philanthropist is pained when
he meets them at almost every step, and the
value of the slavo is materially impaired by the
facility of procuring the poisonous draught
within a short distance of every man’s dwel
ling. The keeper of the low dram-shop should
not bo allowed to tamper with our negroes and
deprive their owners ol their value by reducing
tucm from obedient and valuable servants to
insolent aim almost valueless bloated objects.
These miserable low resorts are all over our
coonty. Some few are licensed —not to kill—but
the consequence to the habitual frequenter of
these shops is death in the end. Many, we
have no doubt, are selling without licence, and
the list shows a large number who have not re
uewed their licence'.
Wo would farther present as an offence in the
sight of God and man, tho complete and perfoct
dosecrati n of the Sabbath day by scores of dis
solute blacks, and some whites, who have made
the woods and fields on the western boundary
of Augusta, between the Plank Road to the Hill
and the Washington road, a gambling ground.
The negroes are mostly from the city. They
have been seen gambling in crowds, with whites
among them. We do not know that thoy have
been scon indulging on tho Sabbath in sports of
the cock pit, but they have been seen going from
the city to tho above designated place with the
game cock shut up in a bag. But this conflno
incut could not destroy his game, for he would
crow.
And, lastly, wc would, after a weeks constant
occupancy of the Jurors’ seals, respectfully re
quest that they bo made comfortable, at least.
A faithful and fair experiment of tho want of
comfort will excuse this application for the bene
fit of future Jurors. Wc would respectfully
present this matter to his Honor, the Mayor of
the City of Augusta and the members of the City
Council.
In taking leave of bis Honor, Wm. W. Holt,
we extond to him our decided approbation of bis
impartial and able discharge of his judicial du
ties—our thanks for his courtesy to us as a
body And to the Attorney-General we tender
our thanks for his kindness and attention to us,
and his roadiuesa to assist us in our arduous
duties.
