(Kbcr.rtg pispst^. 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 The Concert and other j waercises reflected the very credit on Professor Sen.-, l’rin ' Musical Department. j|p 1 1 ■ ii exercises thejwrfng ladies a degree of r ise and di.'nilied i-f v Sfcion, so essential to enable a H'o justice t" herself, and -•> bn HU an element of female ciiar- 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 i (toady Jive calls was billed far freight from Atlanta to Kingston. Georgia Items. The Ringgold Express says We learn, from the most reliable source, that the Small Box has made its appear ance at Trion Factory, Chattooga Co. Up to Monday last six cases had occur red, and, though no death had ensued, it was said to be of a very malignant type. John M’Dish, a giant from Georgia, passed through Norfolk on Friday. He ! weighs three hundred pounds, and is ! said to be seven feet high. Whar did j he come from ? The Athens Mall. The Athens Banner complains that as the mails now run, connecting with the I evening train from Augusta, “the news" ! is three hours old when they get it.— The Evening Dispatch reaches Athens in less than eight hours after its publication, ! and contains tho very latest intelli j gence. Those who want the news, there j fore, need only send us $4, to avoid the ' necessity of waiting thirty hours for it. Peaches from South Carolina.— : The New York Journal of Commerce of Wednesday says : “ One thousand box es of pouches arrived yesterday, in the steamship Columbia from Charleston. The New York Herald says that, : it hag, for some time been made aware that movements were going on among! j the people of Cuba, which have in! | T ‘ ew > ultimately, the revolution of that: Island. 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. • * HP A young German named J. D, ScuwiCKK, a shop keeper in Savannah, f was robbed on Thursday night, arid . beaten so badly that he died at 5 o'clock i on yesterday evening. No clue had been had to the perpetrators of the out rage. The Tournal of Commerce's corres pondent at Marseilles, under date of ; June 30th, writes that Mr. Morgan left that day to proceed to Lisbon, as Minis ter of the United States at that place.

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.

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 LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush | of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ; ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de -1 s ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys ! nepsia. general prostration, irritabiliiy, nervous | ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fc j males, decay of the propagating functions, hy3- j tcria. monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from whatever cau-e arising, it is, if there is any reli ; anco to be placed on human testimony, absolute -1 ly infallible.
