©Kiting: Dispatch. ’ AUGUSTA, GA: Moittliiy Eve»>l*‘P, May 31, 1858. Briins'ivick and Florida Kaliroad. We have received a report of the pro ceedings of the aunual meeting ot this company at Brunswick, May 13, 1858. The headquarters, books, &c., of this company have been transferred from New York to Brunswick, and the junc tion with the Main Trunk at some point “West of Big Creek,” fixed upon. Titis road is in daily operation 31 miles, with 30 miles more graded, at a total expense of $658,000, of which it appears that only eleven hundred dollars has been paid by citizens of Georgia. Bonds to the amount of about 300.000 have been issued, a further issuance of which was regarded indispensable by Mr. H G. Wni*t*R t who was unanimously elec ted President for the eusuing year. ,«►, From Yucatan, According folate advices received in New Orleans by the Steamer Brilliant a convention has been entered into for the purpose of putting an end to the difficulties between the district of Cam peachy, and the rest of the Shite. This had been ratified by the Governor,subject to the approval of the Supreme Govern ment. The first article provides for the division of the State into two. That of Cain peachy, Jcquelchakan and Jopel chen. The line of division between Campeachy and Yucatan is to be so , drawn that the Heal, the ITerraduva, and the Desconocida Salinas shall be long to Campeachy, and Celestun to Yucatan. * Brigham Young.

In Preparatory school 71. Com mencement is on Wednesday, July 22d. The catalogue is neatly printed, by C. lv. Hanleiter. The Commencement sermon of Rev. Dr. Wilson, at Greensboro’ last Sunday, is spoken of by the Gazetice at that place, as a very able production. The Com mencement passed off very pleasantly. The Graduating Class was composed of Miss LeConte, Miss Cunningham, Mbs Eve, Miss Sankey and Miss Beal. The board of instructors consist of the llev. IT. llkndke, President, Mr. Mint/., Miss Miller and Miss Wright. The population of Rain bridge amounts to between 800 and 1,000, an increase, since September last, of 25 per cent. It thought there are 1,200 voters in the county. From recent investigation it ap; pears that nearly every member of the Wisconsin Legislature, who voted to accept the lands for the Milwaukee and LaCross Railroad, received bonds, or stock in value from $5,000 to $25,000. The names of these worthies, with the amount paid to bribe them, is publish ed in the Western papers. flip An old mother in Barbour coun ty, Ala..

They cannot afford to pick, roll up and dry any sort of: leaves liere for half a dollar a pound. In china, where a man is bird for a dol lar a month and hoards himself, it may be done. Sjiecuil Qorreepondenee of the Ditpatch. Charleston, May 29,1558. Von have probably, ere this, begun to think your “regular correspondent’’ a very ir-regular one, and given him over to hardness of heart; lmt the fact is. that during my recent visit to the North niv moments were so occupied in visiting o.'d friends, and in studyingout the old land-marks, as to leave me no leisure time to devote to the fhsjKtteh. Then again, vour compositor, in setting up my letter of the lTthult., made such unwarrantable statements on liis own account, and without any authority from me, as almost to lead me to vow I would not write you again until he learned to decipher my quill-tracks cor rectly. However, st rawberries and pea,- being no longer a scarcity here, I will not now note the errors referred to. Going North, 1 took the inland route, having a decided preference for dry land, rather than salt-water, in case ol any accident. Instead of following the old route, via Petersburg and Rich mond, 1 branched off at Weldon, taking the Roanoke Railroad to Portsmouth, Va., and thence by Day Line Steamers ti Baltimore, making the same “time'’ a via Petersburg, &c. For “through' travelers, this is the route. Arriving at Portsmouth at C P. M., fatigued and and dusty, yuu step on hoard a large first class steamer, take a bath, have an excellent supper, a good state-room and night's rest, awakeiug next morning in Baltimore, with an abundance of time to reach the cars for Philadelphia. The Conductors upon the entire route are ever ready with a courteous reply to any reasonable question from tile tiaveler. It was my fortune to make the up-trip in the steamer Ncn-th Carolina, Capt. James Cannon, returning upon the Louisiana, Capt. G. W. Russell—gen tlemen well worthy to command these fine boats. To Mr. Allen, of the Louis iana, and Mr. Paries, of the Carolina, lam indebted for many polite atten tions. lust previous to reaching Wel don, going North, and Baltimore, com ing South, the baggage agent passes through tlio cars, when those who wisli to take the Bay Line Steamer deliver up their checks, and the baggage is transferred without charge. Capt. M. N. Falls, tlie General Superintendent and principal owner of this line, is in defatigable in his endeavors to make it. in all its appointments, a number one line. As I have hut just returned to this city, you cannot expect 1 should he able to furnish you any “items'' at this time. The general health is good, with the exception of a few cases of dysentery or some such complaint. I note among the arrivals from Augusta to-day at the Mills House, that of Danford, the inde finable, incomparable, non-explosive, self-generating, patent gas light man. The parties who have purchased the right of this Lamp in Augusta have se cured a very clever invention, and if they use proper effort, and advertise it liberally, they will lealize a small fortune from it. Guy. —• Mnviingtft nt llie North. These is a lamentable amount of truth mixed up with the quaintness of the following, which we find floating about, copied from the Ncwbuyport Herald. It is applicable to many places smaller than New York : More than four-sevenths of the mar riagos in Massachusetts are among the foreign horn. Why is it? For the most simple of reasons the foreign born ran afford to get married, and the native horn can not.; and this must be. so long as our extravagant inodes of life continue. In social life there never was a people tending to deeper and m »re destructive social corruption—and tint is most evident; from the records of all the courts, and the columns of fill the newspapers-than Americans. Our fathers used to tell of the profli gacy of Paris ; their children tell of the mysteries of New York—a city not far behind any in Europe. And making proper allowances for size, how far is New York ahead of other cities and towns? Once was the time when a wife was a “help meet now, in a thousand cases you can change the “ meet” to “oat,” and make it read more truthfully. Wo boast of our system of education; we have female high schools, female colleges, female medical schools and female heavens. Our girls arc refined, learned and wise; they can sing, dance, play pianos, paint, talk French and Italian, and all the soil languages, write poetry and love like Veuuses.— They are ready to be courted at ten years, and can be taken from school and married at fifteen, and divorced at twenty. They make splendid shows on bridal tours, can eoquettand flirt at the watering places, and shine like angles at winter parties, lint Heaven be kind to the poor wretch that marries in the fashionable circles. What are they at washing floors ? Oh, we forgot -/no body has hare floors now—how vulgar that would be ! What are they at making bread or boiling beef? Why, how thoughtless we are—to he sure i they will board, or have servants.— What are they at mending old clothes ? But there we are again; the fashions change so often that nobody has old clothes but the rag men and paper makers now ! What arc they at wash | ing babies’ faces and pinning up their | trousers? And here is our intolerable stupidity once more; having children jis loft to the Irish ! What lady thinks of having children about her now ? or if she is so unfortunate, don’t she 1 put them to wet nurses to begin with, and boarding schools afterwards ? We repeat—we have come to a point where young men hesitate and grow old before they can decide whether they can mar ly, ami afterwards keep clear of hank i luptcy and crime. What is the conse quence ? There are more persons living a single hie are there more leading a virtuous life ? it is time for mothers to know that the extravagance they encourage is destructive of the virtue of their children ; that ail the foolish ' expenditures making to rush their i daughters to matrimony, are instead r of answering llmt cud, tending to du slrov tiie institution of marriage alto geter. i thirty-fifth iomikess.

They endorse the action of the Executive, and in case that is insufficient to forever put an end to the adoption of a policy which will consum mate that object.

Insanity of Great Men.— The London correspondent of the New York Tribune says that “it is really lemarkahle how many of the conservative and reaction ary leaders of 1848-9 have lately be come mad, viz :—Count St ad ion and Baron Kulmer, both Austrian Ministers; the King of Prussia, his Private Score tary, Murk Niebuhr, and now Baron Jellachich, Ban of Croatia. After hav ing lost his influence at court, and spent the dowry of his wife, he became a lunatic, and is now in an asylum near Vienna. Count Szochcny, the late Hun garian minister, is detained in the spine house. So is Baron Perriera the Vene tian banker, who, in 1848, tried to play a political part in favor of the court, but lacked the nerve which alone leads to success. The Pennsylvania Episcopal Conven tion have agreed to give 53,500 for the Assistant Bishop's salary. An election was held in Virginia, on fhursday, for Lieutenant Governor, and county officers. For the first named of fice \\. L. Jackson, Esq., the present incumbent, had no opposition. The attempt to reestablish capital punishment in Wisconsin, has failed.
