AUGTJSTA.GA:
Saturday Evening, July £4,1858.
/ComHicn:rimnt of the Georgia Fe
male College Address of W. G.
Johnson, of Augusta.
The annual Commencement of the
Georgia Female College (Baptist) called
together an interesting crowd of visit
ors, and as a large number of our rea
ders are interested in whatever relates
to this flourishing Institution, we
must be pardoned for adding another
to the numerous accounts of similar ex
ercises that have recently appeared in
our columns.
It was not our privilege to be present
at the examination ; but every one
present with whom we conversed, bore
warm -■ timoiiy as to the proficiency
manifested by the youngladies. We in
dulge in only a just tribute when we ac
oord President Brown* the very highest
position as a successful teacher.
The compositions of both the junior
and senior classes bore unusal evidence
of originality, in their simplicity and
freedom from prosy abstractions, and
they were read with a distinctness and
accuracy of enunciation which we have
never seen equalled anywhere else.—
The young ladies of that Institution are
evidently taught to read ; and I learn
that particular attention is paid to wri
ting—the two great essentials of an ed
ucation. The Graduating Clas6 num
bered 24, among which three were from
Augusta—Miss Evans, Miss Pearce and
Miss M. C. Heard— and all of whom ac
quitted themselves with distinction. —
I shall be pardoned for making special
allusion to the fine vocal powers of the,
latter young lady. Her name appeared
in all the most difficult pieces, and the |
sweetness and compass of her voice al-
ways elicited the warn lost applause, and
hushed the vulgar “small talk” so com
mon among audiences. Two or three
young ladies of Madison also possess
.fine voices, and played with marked

dress of the young la-
WJon this occasion, was white, and
PRiey generally displayed a degree of sim
plicity and economy, quite refreshing
in these days of garish show and flaunt
ing extravagance. President Browns,
stated that most of them made their own
dresses; and we must be pardoned for
saying that if they can give any evi
dence of that other practical female ac
complishment—the ability and will to
prepare a good dinner—we will vouch
for the graduates of that Institution as
prepared to fill any sphere to which the
realities of life may call them, as they
are worthy of the most exalted
position that society may hold in store
for them.
TUe annual Address before the Mel
p- . Society, by \Y. G. Johnson,
. i Augusta, evidenced a cultivated
life'" ry taste; it was pungent, and
forcible, and abounded in happy classi
cal allusions. But while we cheerfully
accord the just meed of praise to the elo
quence of our ftieud, we must be par
doned for dissenting most emphatically
from some of the positions he assumed.
His theme was Southern Literature ; and
we endorse his claim for the South, to
all the elements of greatness, and ample
material from which to build up a lite
rature of our own ; but in enumerating
the means and pointing out the barriers
to the developemcnt of literature at tlie
South, if we understood him aright, he
alluded to the press in terms of whole
sale reproach, and applied the flagrant
•pithet “damnable" to the common
schools of the times.
He also urged as a means of develop
ing the intellectual resources of the
South, the multiplication of male and
female Colleges. To these three points
we cannot refrain from offering our
humble dissent —believing his strictures
on the press rash and unjust, and his
position in reference to schools and col
legeß untenable and of dangerous ten- j
dcncy.
It is most true that the press of the |
country, North and South, exhibits a |
lamentable degree of corruption ; but so}
long as the control of the press is in the j
’•ands of men, just so long will it exhih-l
'-'lties of erring humanity. And ;
proportion as the people are
d, will the standard of journal
ise dvance. The free press of a
country is a very correct exponent of j
the morals and intelligence of the peo
ple . But with all the opprobrium lav-}
ished upon the press in these degene
rate times, it has done more than any!
other human agency, save the pulpit,
for the spread of morality, the diffusion
of knowledge, and all the ends of social
progress and general improvement.—'
We are not surprised when demagogues
assail the press—for it is a terror to
their selfish ends—but to make a litera-!
ry festival the occasion of its reproach j
is to us a novel and grievous innovation!
Common Schools have been justly.
called the handmaids of the pulpit and
the press, in the amelioration of man
kind ; and these three—the tripod of 1
liberty, elevating it above the grovel- 1
ling elements of anarchy [or tyranny — 1
are the very foundation and protection 1
of republicanism.
Mr. Johnson was brief and somewhat j
inexplicit in his philippic against the 1
press and common schools, and if we 1
have misapprehended him, many of his I
audience are in the same category, and '
he will find advantage in the opportu- '
nity to defend his position or make it '
entirely understood.
His solicitude for the increase of
“male and female colleges,” was un
mistakable ; and we incline to fear this
the most dangerous position of the
three which we have noted. He did
not specify what hind of colleges ; but
if he would increase tho number of in
stitutions, such as now afflict the coun
try under that misnomer, we verily be
lieve that he would open worse than}
Pandora’s box upon society. Os such;
as nine-tenths of our colleges are, we
have a plethora now, and the suporfi
: cial and pinchback gilding of knowl
‘ edge they impart is converting large
* numbers of the young men and women
* of the country into useless popinjays
! and playthings. Our parlors, and offi
ces, and idle (we might almost add
1 hungry) circles are overrun with their j
unfortunate victims. In God’s name!
(we say it reverently) let us have noj
more such colleges. They are depleting!
the pockets of our people—stimulating!
a reckless and fatal extravagance—ere-1
ating unnatural distinctions in society— j
while the limited valuable accessions
they yield to the circles of useful citi-:
| zenship, or the cause of Southern Liter- -
] ature, is no equivalent for the evils that!
j attend them. We arc not opposing a'
j reasonable number of good colleges.—
j They are essential to the acquirement
jof a thorough education. But the ex
j pense involved in a collegiate course is i
- beyond the means of all save a favored j
| few, while it is of little practical ad- [
; vantage, as a means of success or happi- j
I ness, to the many. Common schools,
j afford the masses all the necessary ru- J
| diments of an education required in the ’.
j ordinary avocations of life. They are!
the base-work of a perfect educational;
system ; while Academies and Colleges j
and Universities complete the structure.
Some of the wisest and best men our
country has produced, have been the
graduates only of the old field or com
mon schools. If they do not impart an
elevated standard of knowledge, com
mon schools very seldom afford many
allurements to vice; while our colleges
are too often the nurseries of dissipa- i
tion, and many of our worst vagabonds 1
received college diplomas only to enter
as advanced pupils in the school of
crime. Infinitely better would it be
for Georgia, if three fourths of the (
money invested in her “one-horse col- j
leges' ’ were devoted to a common school ;
system, by which the tens of thousands ,
of her sons and daughters now growing (
up in ignorance, might receive the ru- ,
diments of an education. ,
Acknowledgment.
The citizens of Kingston, says the <
Cassville Standard,) especially those con- j
nected with the Methodist Church, re- *
turn their warm and heartfelt thanks to *
the Hon. John P. King, of Augusta, <
Georgia, for the magnificent bell pre- J
sented to the Methodist Church lately '
erected in that place ;—and their high ®
appreciation of the kindness shown (
them by the different railroads between
Troy, New York, and Atlanta, Georgia ]
in passing the bell over the Roads free 1
of charge. Under the rigid system of
economy adopted by the authorities of |
the Western & Atlantic Rail Road, the
State was debarred the pleasure of ex
tending the sameliberal encouragement .
in behalf of the Church— as the sum of

(toady Jive calls was billed far freight from

The Beef Panic. t
A writer in the Savannah Republican, J
in speaking of the Beef Panic, makes
the following judicious suggestion, for
the safety of lovers of Beef: —“l now 1
most respectfully suggest, for the co'u
sideration of all concerned, as one
means of quieting the minds of o’ur cit
izens, that each butcher, or seller of
meat, in our market, be required to
place the head of the aniraa) whose meat (
he is vending, upon his stall or shelf—
the tongue being left in, and the mon th
opened about six inches, so that each
purchaser can judge for himself previ
ous to purchasing. Now, this can im
pose very little extra duty upon the
butchers, or venders of meat, as I un 1
derstand the ordinances of the city re- ’
quire that they shall produce in the '
market the hide and head of all animals
the meat of which is bought for sale ; 1
and I now only require that the tongue
shall remain in the head whilst exposed
: on the stall.”
Tlie Eclipse of the Sun on the Sixth
of September Next.
There will be a total eelipse of the
■ sun on the 6th of September next, visi
'■ ble in the United States only at extreme
1 Southern points, and best to be witness
i ned in South America, where it will be
■ central. English astronomers hare had
1 facilities offered them by their Govern
j ment to proceed thither, while our Go
v; ernmeut hitherto made no movement
|in the matter. Private enterprise, how
| ever, has nobly stepped in to the aid of
| the cause of science. The Washington
J correspondent of the Philadelphia ih
-1 quirer says ;
“The last steamer brought a com-'!
munication from Mr. George Wheel- :
! right, of Newburyport, Mass., now in!,
i London, authorizing a friend to draw !
! on him for a sum sufficient to pay the 1 1
■ expenses of an American astronomer to j,
Peru. He offers it es a cheerful contii- .
bution for the promotion of science. ,
“The arrangements for the expedi
tion have not been completed, but I am !;
; able to say that it will be under the pat- !:
rouage of the Smithsonian Institution; ; ’
i and that the astronomer selected is Lt. (
! James M. Gillis, U. S. N., whose char- ji
acter and reputation are sufficiently es- I
tablish from his splendid success as Su- ! j
j perintendent of the late Astronomical | j
! Expedition to Chili, whose primary ob- -
! ject was the determination of the solar -
j parallax. The third volume of his J
j elaborate report has just been issued, (
j and is devoted solely tb this subject.— .
I He will start on his neyv mission in the
steamer of the sth of Augtist.
“ I may add that the English Com
pany owning the line of steamers on| (
the South American coast, have cheer- '
fully given directions for his free pas- !'
sage, and that of his instruments, &c., H
and evince the deepest and kindest in- 1
terest in the undertaking. The same '
may also be said of the proprietors of 1 5
the line from New York, and thus the ,
expedition, from first to last, will be \
sustained mainly by private enterprise j
alone.” L

Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.
Dawson, Ga. July 22, 1858. ’
Mr. Editor I have only time to ;
tell you that we have just had a glorious 1
jubilee at this new and growing town,
in honor of the completion of the South- i
western Railroad to this place. The
crowd collected in the large new cotton
warehouse of Ciieatham & Marshall,
where speeches were made by M. E. 1
Williams, Esq., R. R. Cutler Esq , and j
Col. C. B. Wooten, when the crowd ad
journed for dinner. A party of the na- c
tives, to whom a railroad is a novelty, 1
took a ride down the road, which they
enjoyed hugely. After dinner Mr.
Dougherty of the Macon & Western ■
Railroad, Mr. Clisrt, of the Teh■
graph, Mr. Sullivan of Americus, and '
others addressed the crowd. c
The population of Dawson and vicinity ;'
is probably 1000 or 1200, and the town j *
is rapidly filling up with merchants, j |
mechanics, and adventurers of every ;
grade. It is 981-2 miles from Macon,
and about 30 from Albany. The branch
of the road, extending from Smithville \
on the S. W. Railroad, to Dawson, is 17 ,
1-2 miles in length. The road is under |
contract for most of the distance from t
here to the Chattahoochee river. It ; i
will pass through the towns of Cuthbert, )
in Randolph, and Fort Gaines in Early f
county, and reach the Chattahoochee at ;
two points—at Fort Gaines and Eufaula. ’
There is a daily stage communication .
with Cuthbert, and the resources of the !
section will make this quite a flourish- j
ing town. Many of the planters in this
region are from middle Georgia, and are 11
partial to Augusta. It would pay your ]
merchants and banks to direct more at
tention to this end of the State.
’ Cheatham & Marshall have a good j
| warehouse, and will receive several !
thousand bales of cotton. They are
clever men, full of energy and just the
sort to develope the resources of a new
j and growing country. T.
» r The Columbus Times estimates
’ the number of members added to the
. Chuich in Columbus during the late
) revival is 500, of which 251 joined the
Methodist 100 the Baptist, 100 the Pres
byterian, and 45 the Episcopal. This
. is exclusive of blacks, of which large
; numbers joined the Baptist Church.

Who Is Eva St. Clair 1
Oh ! say, is she one of those fairy girls,
With ruby lips and sunny curls,
With cheeks that rival the roses’ hue,
And eyes as bright as the violets blue ;
Or. say, is shea bewitching brunette,
With raven locks and eyes of jet?
Methinks I see her sylphlike form,
And her light footstep as she bounds along,
With a merry laugh and a winning smile,
And a heart that is always free from guile ;
And methinks that a being so charming, so fair,
Is worthy the name of sweet Eva St. Clair
And oh ! is her voice so sweet to the ear,
As the mock birds’ song, so soft and clear—
And as you list to each magic word.
Would feel that your heart's deep fount was
stirred ?
Oh ! toll me, in which of the pictures here,
I have painted the image of Eva St. Claik !

Fire In Abbeville*
We learn that on Monday morning j
last a fire broke out at Abbeville Court |
House. It originated in tbe hotel of Mr. j
Rutledge.
It soon communicated with tbe store
occupied by Wardlaw & Son ; and from
there to tbe store of Allen, tbe hotel
occupied by Rainey, and the saddle and i
harness establishment ofE. Westfield.
There was no one insured except Mr.
Allen, who was fully covered by iirsur-j,
ance. Tbe total loss is estimated at
from $12,000 to $15,000.
The origin of tbe fire was accidental
caused by some children playing with,
lucifer matches. It is another warning
to parents and house keepers to keep
matches out of tbe way of children. —

pean States, its introduction into the United,
States was intended more especially for tli >se of •
: our fatherland scattered here and there over the j
) faco of this mighty country. Meeting with gre-.it
j success among them, I now offer it to the Amcri ,
can public, knowing that its truly wonderful
* medicinal virtues must be acknowledged.
- It is particularly recommended to those per- !
. sons whose constitutions may have been im
paired by the continuous use of ardent spirits, I
or other forms of dissipation. Generally. instm .
j toneous in effect, it finds its way directly to the
seat of life, thrilling and quickening every nerve.
* raising up the d coping spirit, and, iu fact, in
-3 fusing new health and vigor in the system.
j NOTICE —Whoever expects to find this a bev
erage will be disappointed ; but to the sick,
weak and low spirited, it will prove a grateful
. aromatic cordial, possessed of singular remcd : ai
oroperties.
rjLvmo'M =
The great popularity of this delightful Aroma j
, has induced many imitations, which the public !
.should guard against purchasing. Be not pur J
j. suaded to buy anything else until you have given
, Bcerhave’s Holland Bitters a fair trial. One bet !
tie will convince you how infinitely superior it is I
to all these imitations.

Wilton, N. H., Sept. 10, 1857.
i Having had an opportunity to test the value of
jFrof. 0. J. Wood's Hair Restorative, I am pre
; pared to say, that it fully makes good its recora
| mendations. by restoring to more than its orig
inal lustre, hair tiiat has become gray, cr faded
from age or disease. It will give the hair a soft
and pliable texture, ami what is of still greater
importance than that, it is restored to health :
it imparts to the w> ole system Its renovati ig,
healing properties, and has a tendency to restore
health and prolong life, and give to the aged the
appearance of youth. Its unequalled properties
ought to recommend It to every family. Try it,
ye who labor under any disease of the ncad. and
you will never have to regret its application.
Caution.—Beware of worthless imitations, as
several arc already in the market, calle 1 by dif
ferent names. Use none unless the words (Pro
fessor Wood's Ilair Restorative. Depot, Ft Louis.
Mo., and New York), are blown in the bottle.

JIT 1* is not generally con
ceded that Liver Complaint, or a deranged state
of the Liver, is the cause of most of the summer
and bowel complaints that visit us during this
season of the year.
Yet some of our first Physicians consider the
Liver the principal cause of these diseases, or in
other words, when it pci forms it 3 functions
properly it enables tlie system to resist or throw
off diseases of the stomach and bowels, and
where they are deranged the surest cure is to
cure the Liver of its disease and cause it to per
form its proper functions. There is nothing in
the whole world that so quickly stimulates the
Liver to a proper performance ofits functions as
DR. SANFORD’S LIVER IN VIGOR ATOR, which
almost instantly checks Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
any complaints of the bowels.
The Invigcr.-.tor acts as a gentle cathartic, yet
it checks nil looseness of the bowels from the
time it is taken till the regular operation of the
medicine, gome eighteen hours alter, when the
cause of the complaint is removed, the Liver is
invigorated, and health soon follows. The In
vigorator may be taken with perfect safety in
all cases of Dysentery, as it has been tried and
used for years for such complaints by a largely
practicing physician. jlyß-lm
pr T he Great Pro Mem
Solved I—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its sol vent power, and the crude
nutrimeut, which wax a load and a burthen to
the sulLrer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created iu the system, tin
basis of activity, strength and health.
Tlie nerve-:-:, .-ufforer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
ror®. wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
tcniblelassitude which proceeds from a lack ol
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnaturalcoudition
of tlie wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo- -
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which atonce culms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
orpaniz ttion.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman lias ever received from the hards of
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid materia!
which is to be subjected to their action. As an
app'-tiscr it has no equal iu the Pharmacopia.
If long Hie and tlie vigor necessary to its en
joyment .are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, tlie victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will&ll find immediatear.dpermanentreliiffrom
the u-e of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible milady. There aro many
j perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
| tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
jof medicine. Let not even those despair. The
: Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
: .'erenee to the causes, and will not only remove
i the di-order itself, but rebuild the broken cou
! stitution
