(Kbrning Jlisfitcb. 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. ' ..... L ' 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.

Merchants, grog 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 “I ask you, what will the people do ?

The propreitor represents it as having a good paying subscription list, with a good run of advertiseing and Job wark. Wliat afextr 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:— New Orleans, Jackson am] lireat Nor thern RR completed to Canton, Miss. 206 miles .Southern l)iv. Miss.

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.

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. : ••• > The growing crops in this county i i look quite promising, since the recent rains. Cotton blossoms seem to be ve- j . ry common in this vicinity, juding from , the number sent in by several of our enteresting planters,—though the cotton < ; generally speaking, is small, butgrow r I ing growing finely. The corn crop bids; I fair to be an abundant yield. The ! wheat crop has not been seriously in-1 I) jured by the rust as it was thought at 1 i one time it would he. We suppose, 4 from what we have been told by a . number of planters, that it will be ') about an average crop, throughout the . | county.— SandersvUle (jm-pian, inst. J THE LATEST NEWS.

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.

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.

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.

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.
