(Laming JOisjutdi. 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: Maine, 2,670 Missouri, 2,027 New Hamp., 1,376 Kentucky, 2,666 Vermont, 770 Tennessee, 1,666 Mass., 6,254 Dist.Colum., 93 Rhode Isl’d, 1331 Delaware, 179 Conn., 2,799 j Maryland, 1,806 New York, 16,674 Virginia, 1,205 New Jersey, 6,025 N.

The Commencement exercises at the Greensboro’ Female College, will take place this week, ending on Thursday. 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 Southern Presbyterian. ■ *•••• Breckinridge Coal Company.—'The whole estate of the celebrated Breckin ridge Coal Company, near Cloverport, Ky., is to be sold at action on the 28th of June next, to pay a mortgage of $350,000. This, the Memphis Bulletin remarks, is an Unfortunate close of the affairs of the company whoso stock and property was valned a few years ago at I $4,000,000 or $5,000,000. — Travel from the South. Every steamer from the South now comes full of passengers,—a large pro portion of whom are families from New Orleans, Moblu, Savannah, Charleston, who intend to summer in this latitude or go to Europe. The Black Warrior which arrived Thursday from New Or leans brought nearly three hundred.— N. } r . Hrpress. 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. — — ill The St. Paul’s (Minnesota) Times tells of an Irishman in that city, who was engaged at a drain, and had his pick axe raised in the air just as the clock struck tweve, when, determined to do no more work, be let go the pick axe, and left it hanging there. Salt ox Asparagus. Sow salt on your asparagus beds ; sow one bushel to ike square rod if you have it; if you cannot afford it, use a smaller amount, as a top dressing. It reinvigorates the 1 p!l j AUow the rain to wash it in , gradually. Brine is good, but use it sparingly as the soil absorbs it faster |than in the form of salt. | THE LATEST NEWS.

[A Calcutta letter of March 23d, published in the European Times ' of May Ist, states, in reference to cer tain movements of the hostile forces, that “the only drawback to this plan is the fact that it involves a hot-weather campaign which will waste the Euro ( pcanslike snow.”] The news from China reports affairs in that region quiet.

New York, May 23.—Arrivals at this port announce that the vessel John Howe was boarded at Sagua lo Grande, by officers in a boat from the British War steamer Buzzand, and an examina tion of the papers of the John Howe demanded. At the same port, Captain Bartlett, of the ship Clarendon hound for New York, was ordered to show his papers and hoist his ensign, by the Captain of j the Buzzard. This order was disobeyed by the Captain of the Clarendon, and his vessel was boarded by a hundred men from the English war steamer, af ter shooting several blank cartridges around the Clarendon. The Captain still peremptorily refused to comply with the orders ; and the officers of the Buzzard left the ship without accom | pushing their purpose. Vessels for (he Gulf.

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.
