AUGUSTA.GA:
Saturday Evening, June 19, 1858.
Frclgllt on Un»e and Coal.
We have iuadefrequent allusion to the
policy of our lines of communication
with the West, in keeping freights at a
Kale so high os to amount to a prohi
bition on the shipment of the produce
of that section to Southern ports. This
has been a very serious harrier to the
developement of the coal and iron iuter
estsofUpperGeorgiaandTennessee, and |
has quite discouraged many who have t
embarked in these enterprises. The
time is not distant when not only the ,
large cities, but the smaller towns and
villages, will find the use of coal a mat
ter of economy. It is also clearly de- j
monstrated that with a fair competition <
in the markets of the country, the coal, '
lime, iron, and marble, of that section,
wouldsoon receive general favor—would
become sources of immense revenue. It
is then the undoubted policy of our rail
roads to foster these enterprises by af
fording them every possible facility in
the transportation of freights.
We are pleased to observe that, at
the suggestion of Gov. Brown, the Su
perintendent of the State Road has re
duced the freight upon coal and lime,
one third, during the dull summer
months, with a slight advance when
the busy season commences. This
movement cannot fail to receive the
approval of all parties, and will confer
equal benefit on all sections of the State.
The demand for lime for agricultural
purposes alone, at reasonable rates of
freight, would soon induce immense
shipments—and the Tennessee coal
needs only to be fairly introduced, to
come into general use.
It is to be hoped that all the railroads
in the State will co-operate with the
State road in offering the same liberal
terms to all enterprises so identified
with the general interest, and whose
weal depends on the expense of getting
Early Cotton.
It is becoming quite fashionable
among farmers’ to send editors speci
mens of forward cotton, and there is
considerable emulation to see who shall
be announced as the producers of the
first bloom, first boll or bale. While it
always gives us pleasure to chronicle
any evidence of thrift on the part of
our agricultural friends, we cannot help
regarding the practice an injudicious
one. Interested parties always stand
ready to send these reports to Liverpool,
where they are hawked about as evi
dence of a fine prospect for the growing
crop, and do not fail to effect the price
of the staple most ruinous to dealers on
this side, while they afford no criterion
at all of the approaching harvest.
These crop accounts are a little amus
ing also, as exhibitions of the conflict
ing influences of vanity and self-inter-!
est—for we have often observed that
those most prompt in reporting early j
blooms, are also the very first to cry
out worm, rot, and a half crop in the i
fall. Motives of prudence, as well as of
consistency should induce all to be very 1
cautious about circulating reports of the j
growing crops. We have the promise of
seed time and harvest, and should pa- j
tientlv bide the time of their coining.

SI. Louis.
We received from a friend, by to- j !
day’s mail, a letter from St. Louis, l:
dated 11th inst., which gives rather a I
gloomy account of the situation of that •
city and the surrounding neighborhood, i
caused by the recent extraordinary !
rise in the Western rivers. The letter 1
reads as follows;
“I sit down at precisely ten o'clock
to inform you of the great destruction
the high water is causing in this sec- ‘
tion. The water at this point has never £
been known to be so high since 1844, £
and we all think it may be as high, if j
not higher than ever has been known, r
From where the levee commences to s
where it ends, is completely covered *
with water. Persons coming on steam
boats cannot walk the plank to the
shore, but they have to pay the second *

shops, and other kinds of establish- ’
ments are packing up, and breaking up, (
and trying to save themselves and !
some of their property.
Thousands of persons are on or near ,
the water’s edge, witnessing the con- •
tinual rise, and looking with anxious j
eyes on the magnificent spectacle pre-i)
seated by that mighty stream, the Mis- ;
sissippi.
‘ I have heard, from reliable sources
that several little railages have been
sent into oblivion by the rise in the
Illinois river, and the loss of property
is immensely large.
“All rivers that flow into the Missis
sippi river, by all accounts, are rising

Wc seldom pick up a New York pa
per, but wc see announced some •‘new
dodge” practiced by the fancy gentlemen
of that city. The latest we find in the
Charleston Xiws, given by its New York
correspondent. Here it is“ Our New
York cluvaliers d'lndustrie are not excelled
by those of any other country. The
pick pockets have adopted a novel ex
pedient, which is, for a party to take
passage on some steamboat for Staten
Island, or up the rivers, and by a well
organized plan, one of the party, who
is a good swimmer, falls overboard, and
while the p issengers and officers are in
tent upon ‘rescuing the unfortunate
man,’ his accomplices are relieving the
unsuspecting lookers on of whatever
valuables they may have about their
persons, A case of this kind occurred
yesterday on board one of the Staten
Island boats, the Captain, having heard
of the ‘dodge ’ let the fellow remain
in the water till he was nearly exhaust
ed”
Hon. A. H. Stephens.
The Weldon correspondent of the
South Side Democrat, speaking of our
worthy and talented Representative in
Congress, says: “Among other distin
guished arrivals here last night, was
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of Geor
gia. He laid over in order to obtain a
comfortable night's rest and will pro- (
ceed Southward to-day at 12 o’clock.- j
He looks just as he did fourteen years i
ago, no better, no worse, and seems as
he did then, too feeble and sickly to !
live through the summer, hut hismind !
it is a mind. And his matchless elo- j
quence! Ah, he is a whole team, and his |
clarion voice is still as clear and strong!
as in days of yore. Long may he live j
to do honor to the public councils of the
nation.”
Mr. Stephens spent one or two days
in this city, on his way home, and met ;
with a warm welcome from our citizens
of all parties.
Which Is the Shorter Route?
The announcement thatafter July Ist
the New York and New Orleans mails
are to he transported over what has come
to be denominated the “Great Central
Koute,” has caused some investigation,
of the matter by journals located upon
the "Sea-board Boute.” The Wilming
ton Journal, of June 4th, has a long ar
ticle controverting the assertion that
the “Central Line” is shorter, or will
transport the mails more expeditiously
than the other. It makes the follow
ing comparison of the two.
The following figures are beleived to
be perfectly correct—the distances are
official, and the only variation that can
exist must be found in the number of
miles of staging which we may have
made a little less or a little more, but
the error cannot exceed ten miles either
way. It stands thus:—

If these statements of the comparative!
distances be true, (says the Knoxville
(Tenn.) Citizen ,) and we doubt not they
are, and if what we hear in reference to
arrangements that are being made on
the sea-board line to run trains with
greater speed and with less detention at!
stations be true, then those managing
the Central Line must do likewise, or
they will loose the travel.

bales of cotton. Succeeded in picking
up twenty-three of them, when the sea
became so heavy that he could get no
more. The marks upon them could not j
be made out, the sea having washed j
them off. One of the tales has a star!
upon it, which is the only mark distin- i
guishable.

Mr. BllfktmC Bnhy,
i That first baby was a great institu
‘ tion. As soon as he came into this
‘j “breathing world,” as the late W.
, i Shakspeare has it, he took command in
i our house. Everything was subservient
to him. He was the balance wheel that!
regulated everything. He regulated
the temperature, he regulated the food,
t he regulated the servants, he regulated
I me. For the first six months of that
, precious existence, he had me upon an
average six times a night. “ Mr. Blif-
I kins,” says my wife, “ bring that light j
here, do ; the baby looks strangely; |
1 I’m so afraid it will have a fit!” Os;
! course the lamp was brought, and of;
I course the baby lay sucking his fist like)
f a little white bear, as he was. “ Mr. )
■ Blifkins,” said my wife, “ I think I feel I
II a draught of air ; I wish you would get!
j up and see if the window is not open a
j little, because the baby might get sick.” 1
I Nothing wag the matter with the win-:
' j dow, as I knew very well. “ Mr. Blif
kins," says my wife, just as I wag going
1 to sleep again, “ that lamp, as you have
placed it, chines directly in babr’s eyes *
—strange that yon have no more con
sideration. ' 1 arranged the light and
went to beT again. Just as I was drop
ping to sleep again, "Mr. Blifkins,”
said my wife, “did you think to buy.
that fcroma to-day for the baby ?” “ Mi
dear. said I, “ will you do me the in- .
i justice to believe that I could overlook j
a matter so essential to the comfort of
that inestimable ”' She apologised so
very handsomely, but made her anxiety
the seape-guat- I forgave her, and
without saying a word more to her I
addressed myself to sleep. "Mr. Blif
! kins,” said my wife, shaking me, “ you
i must not snore so, you will wake the (
baby.” -‘Jest so : jest so,” said I, half
l asleep, thinking I was Solon Shingle.— 1 ,
"Mr. Blifkins." said my wife, -will ,
j you get up and hand me the warm gruel
! from the nurse lamp for baby?—the |
1 dear child if it wasn't for his mother ,
i I don’t know what he would do. How )
! can you sleep so, Mr. Blifkins'” "I ,
suspect, my dear, said I, “ that it is be- ,
; causel am tired.” “Oh, it’s very well )
foryou men to talk about being tired,” |
| said my wife; “ I don’t know what you I
would say if you had to toil and drudge, ,
like a poor woman with a baby.” li
tried to soothe her by telling her she ,
had no patience at all, and got up for! ,
the posset. Having aided iu answering (
the baby’s requirements, I stepped into ,
bed again, with the hope of sleeping ,
Mr. Blifkins,” said she, in a louder ,
j key.” I said nothing. “Oh, dear!’
j said that estimable woman, in great j
i apparent anguish, “how can a man, ,
who has arrived at the honor of a live j
baby of ills own sleep, when he don’t) t
know that the dear creature will live: i
till morning!” I remained silent and,) ,
after a while, deeming that Mrs. Blif-j (
! kins had gone to sleep, I stretched my;
limbs for repose. How long I slept 1 f
don’t know, but I was awakened by a) j
furious job in the forehead by some j
I sharp instrument. I started up, and
I Mrs. Blifkins was sitting up in the bed (
i adjusting some portion of the baby’s (
| dress. She had, in a state of semi-som
j nolence, mistaken my head for the pil-
I low, which she customarily used for a
| noctural pincushion. I protested against :
) such treatment in somewhat round L
I terms, pointing to several perforations i
iin my forehead. She told me I should j
willingly bear such trifling things for;
the sake of the baby. I insisted upon
i it that I didn’t think my duty, as a pa
| rent to that young immortal, required
! the surrender of my forehead as a pin- 1
j cushion. This was one of the many )
, nights passed in this way. The truth
i I was, that baby was what every other,
) | man’s first baby is, an autocrat—abso-j
lute and unlimited. Such was the story
■ ] of Blifkins as he related it to us, the'
i: other day. It is a little exaggerated j
’ | picture of almost every man's expe
5, rience.

Kerosene t>ll.
We have received the following com
munication from the manufactures of
Kerosene Oil, in reference to the late ac
cident at Mr. Munger’s and to the non
explosive properties of the oil they
manufacture:
New York. May 25th, 1858.
To the Editor of the Augusta Eve
sisg Dispatch — Dear Sir: Our attention
has been called to an article that ap
peared in your issue cf the 10th inst..
describing an accident that occurred at
trie residence of Mr. Munger, of your
city, from the explosion of a Coal OH
barrel, whereby a negro woman was
killed, and in which you have inadver
tently done an injury to the Kerosene
Oil Company, of which we are agents,
by stating '• that the barrel contained
Coal Oil, commonly known as Kerosene
Oil, &c.
Now, it has been ascertained, that the
barrel referred to, never contained Kero
*va Oil, but some preparation purchased
by Mr. Munger from a party doing busi
ness in Greenwich street. New York,
and who calls his article ‘ ‘ Carmel Coal
Oil.'' No accident has ever occurred
from the many thousands of barrels of
Kerosene Otl distributed all over the Uni
ted Slates.
Unprincipaled dealers in this city are
very apt to apply the term “ Kerosene "
to any compound resembling the pro
ducts from coal, and the public are
thereby deceived, and, very often, en
dangered by the use of explosive mix
tures.
“ Kerosene' ’ is the trade mar!; of the
Kerosene Oil Company, and its exclusive
property , and all parties making use of
that word to facilitate the sale of explo
sive compounds, or oils, not manufac
tured by the Kerosene Oil Company,
will be prosecuted for their illegal use
of the same.
You will please give this letter an in
sertion in your journal, so that the false
impression, created by your article, may
be counteracted. /
We assure you, most emphatically,
that Kerosene, as manufactured by our
Company, is not explosive.
Yours, truly, Austens’,
Agents of Kerosene Oil Campany.
N B. -Mr. E. E. Scolield, of your city,
is our sole agent for the sale of Kero
sene, and all qils obtained from him will
be found genuine.

To the Public.
The undersigned was sued in the .Justice’s j
Court ot the 3bSth District, for a debt of thirty- J
one dollars and sonio few cent-!, at the instance t
■ of Win. T. Page. The City Council of Augusta j
was Garnisheed for the debt; beforo the trial!
terra of the Court, there was a suit instituted 1
against Win. T. l’ago in Justice Levy's Court,
and I was Garn sliced for the debt. 1 answered
the Garnishment in Justice Levy’s Court, before
the trial term of Justice Picquets Court, that 1
owed Win. T. Page thirty one dollars and some j
few cents, and that I had left thirty five dollars i
in the hands of the Collector and Treasurer to
meet the Page debt and the amount of costs,
which money he (Picuqet) dew out of tho Collec
tor and Treasure’s hands, without any authority,
and paid it over to Wm. T Page before the Col
lector and Treasurer answered the Garnishment j
at his (Picquet’s) Court ; and on answering the !
Garnishment at Piquet’s Court, it was by Messrs j
Picquet k Phillips dismissed, but he Picquet re
fused to pay back the money he had obtained
from the Collector and Treasurer without any
authority, although advised to do so by two or
three Justices who were present; and also he,
was requested by his associate, Mr. Phillips, to j
pay it back, which he refused to do, having
paid over the money to Page before the garnish
ment was answered and before the term of the
Court to which the answer to the garnishment
was to be made. Mr. Ticquet is now sues by
the Collector and Treasurer for the money lie
obtained from him. and hence Ids attack upon :
me.
I h ive considered this statement of fads due
■ to myself. As to any attempt on my part to
| evaefe the paymet tof a just demand, as stated
in Mr. PicqUet’o card, I pronounce the statement
to be willfully and deliberately false, whether it
i anates from Chief Justice A. J). Picquet, in his
| official capacity, or otherwise.
As to the Mayor of the city, the position he
occupies in this community can never be reach
* ed by any such contemptible fry. nor would he
• so far degrade himself as to notice any commu
nication emanating Jrom such a source.
