The Telegraph Cubit.
There never has been an occasion
since the morning stars sang together,
more befitting a great international
jubilee, than the successful laying oi ;
the Atlantic Telegraph affords. It is an <
event pregnant with results scarcely t
less beneficial to the progress of the
world, than the discovery of this conti
nent. The achievement ushered anoth
er world teeming with all the elements (
of empire, into the great family of na
tions —while this cements them all in
the bonds of universal brotherhood,ma
king the heart of one nation to vibrateiu
stantaneously so the pulsations of anoth
er. Such an event is calculated to kindle
all the high elements of man's nature
into enthusiasm, for it is a harbinger of
infinite good to all the ends of human
progress. It deserves the homage of
an international jubilee—a day when
all the nations of the earth shall rejoice
over a common triumph. This occas
ion is one of especial congratulation to
the American people, for it was in this
country that the entire movement had
its origin, Franklin, the discovor of
electricity, and Moksr the inventor of
the telegraph, were Americans, and the
Ocean telegraph is the result of tho en
ergy and skill of American genius.—
The association was organised in New
York city, at the residence of Cyrus W.
Field, in 1854, and we learn from the
New York Express that Mr. Field, his
brother David, S. F. B. Morse Peter
Cooper, Moses Taylor, M. 0. Boberts
and Chandler White, first planned the
project. The two Fields and Mr. White
went to New Foundland to ask for a
charter, which was readily granted and
the Legislature passed an act guaran
teeing the interest of the company's
to the amount of $50,000, and a grant
of 50 square miles of land. These terms
were agreed upon, and the enterprise
started with a list of New York officers,
under the name and style of “ the New
York, New Foundland and Ixmdon Tel
egraph Company.
In view of its origin, and of its impor
tance to great American interests, and
especially to the cotton interests of the 1
South, is it not eminently proper that
we should feel the utmost gratification. I
indulge in some earnest and enthusias
tic demonstration of joy. Let the bells
ring, the cannon roar, the military, the
firemen, and all good citizens unite in
jubiliation over the crowning act of
American genius—the proudest truth of
human skill.
Let every town and village where the
telegraph penetrotes, meet and read the
friendly greetings of the leading na
tions of the earth, and rejoice together
over the human device that is to be an
important agent in ushering in the era
of peace on earth and good will to man. (
Looney’s Southern Arithmetic. 1
A notice of this valuable home pub- l
lication has been mislaid during our !
recent absence, and we embrace this 1
late day to bring it to the notice of our 1
readers. Mr. Looney is a successful
teacher, at Fayetteville, Ga., and has 1
felt the need of a practical treatise on i
the science of numbers, adapted to lay- i
ing the basis of a thorough knowledge l
of mathematics. In this work we be- t
lieve he has been signally successful. It t
is presented in a clear simple form. 1
stripped of the trash and superfluous
matter found in many of our text books, r
and admirably adapted to the U6e of <
Southern schools. We commend it to (
the notice of teachers.
I
mining Braminnr. (
We met a friend from Cherokee the
other day, and asked hisopinion of some
of the new gold and copper mines of ,
that section. He was very enthusiastic
in his opinions of them, and pronounc
ed that region the El Dorado of the uni
verse after all. He said he could compare
the mines to nothing he had seen, and
did not believe California, in her palm
iest days,could “hold a candle’'to them.
A waggish friend,who was standing by, ,
and who had owned stock in some of
the mines of Cherokee, stepped up, and
remarked, that he had some experience
in Georgia mining, and thought he
could compare it in a manner both
truthful aud grammatical. He proceed
ed as follows: “Positive mine, eompar- *
ative miner, superlative minus” —and he ■
added, that he had never known a
man to stick to them two years who
did not reach the superlative degree!
tLuter Epitaph.
The following epitaph is said to be on '
a tomb-stone in Upper Georgia :
“To all my friends who come this way,
A few kind words I wish to say—
Should any of you drink old rye,
Think of me as you pass by.”
The epitaph is rather inexplicit.—
Whether the chap wanted to remind
those who pass by of the virtues of “old
rye,” or of its evil consequences, docs
not appear. What good men do,is said to
live after them, and this man may be
anxious to perpetuate the remembrance
of the good things he enjoyed while 1 1
here below. A pure article of old rye,
to those who relish it, is no doubt ai,
very refreshing reminder—and this j i
may have been a jolly Hard-shell who !
believed that none of God s good tna- ,
tures should be forgotten. i

Mr. Johnson’* Addrers.
We cheerfully publish the following j r
note from Mr. Johnson, explanatory of l‘
the positions assumed in his address at ( a
| Madison on the 21st nit. We consulted l
! freely with the audeincc before put- (
! lishiug ourcouunents, and did not find '
: a single person who understood him ac- |
cording to his explanation ; and we are ',
much gratified to set him aright before ,
our readers, as it was very far from ,
our intention to misrepiesent our tal
ented fellow-townsman.
[communicated.]
j Mr. Editor :—Permit me to correct
some misapprehensions, under which
! you labored in your editorial of the
Dispatch, of the 24th ult.
In commenting upon my address be
fore the Melpomenean Society, of the
George Female College, on the 21st
ult., you understood ine to apply the
epithet “ damnable ” to common schools.
You understood me, furthermore, to
advocate an increase of “Male and Fe
male Colleges.”
I did not apply the term “damna
ble” to tbe common school system.—
The connection, in which that word was
applied, was this, viz : —“ That the pat
ronage of the South bestowed upon the j
I Colleges of other countries in preference j
to the common schools —the Academies
aud Colleges of the South was a ‘dam- j
nolle policy." Secondly. Nor did I ad
vance the proposition that there should
be an increase of “Male and Female
Colleges.” In enumerating the barriers
to the development of a Southern Lit
erature, I said : that one of these bar
riers was the prejudice that existed
against the cultivation of the classics.
The conclusion does not necessarily fol
low from this proposition that there
should he an increase of ‘ 1 Male and Fe
male Colleges”—as it is a well known
fact that the classics are taught in the
common schools as well as the colleges
of the country ; and, instead of advo
cating an increase of Malo and Female
Colleges, I advocated a decrease until
those now existing were more liberally
patronized. In alluding to the Press, I j
did pass some strictures upon it, hut to !
those who wrote only for the grat- 1
ification of the vicious and corrupt, and j
did not include, within my criticism,
the decent and dignified portion of the i
press.
Please allow me, through your col- ,
umns, to make the above corrections—
not that what I have said will influence i
a single mind upon the questions of
Education and Literature —but for the
purpose, simply, of being fairly under j
stood as not abusiug the nurseries of the j
bone and sinew of the country, viz: — l
the common schools and the entire Press 1
of the country.
Very respectfully,
W. G. Johnson.
Murder In Fonytli County. ■
The Athens Watchman says : We learn ;
by a letter received from Mr. Thomas I
Collins, that a murder was committed *
on Saturday night last about a mile
from the Wild Cat Court ground, iu j
Forsyth county. The man killed was ;
Claibore Vaughn. At the time our I
correspondent wrote his letter, an in- j
vestigation was going on before the
Coroner, from which it appeared that (
some half dozen or more persons were
concerned in the perpetration of the I
foul deed. We omit their names, be 1
cause, it seems, the testimony was in- (
complete. All of them, save one, had it
been arrested. j

Franklin College—New Trustees.— |
The Athens Danner says : At a meeting [ e
of the Trustees of Franklin College, at j f
commencement, the resignation of r
Messrs. Jas. H. Couper, of Glynn eoun- *
ty, and A. L. Alexander, of Wilkes
county, were received. Messrs. Wm.
Dougherty, of this place, and John J
Barnes, of Liberty county, were elect- j
ed to fill their places.
Splendid Present.— During the last \
day or two, says the National Intelligencer, \
there has been exhibited at the State
Department a very handsome silver tea j 1
set, consisting of six pieces, which lias | j
been manufactured at the order of Presi- ,
dent Buchanan, as a present for Capt.
Thomas S. Scott. Each piece bears the 1
inscription: “The President of United '
States to Capt. Thomas S. Scott, of the
British ship ‘Herefordshire,’ for his hu
mane, zealous, and successful efforts in
rescuing the passengers of the ship ,
‘John Gilpin ’ from the perils of the
sea—lßsß.” The ware is massive and
richly chased, being an elaborate de
sign of foliage.

Gla<l to hear it*
The Memphis Bulletin of the 10th inst.
states that Mr. W. H. Crisp, the mana
ger of the Gaiety Theatre in Memphis,
has recovered his sight, and is now able
to superintend his business personally.
Crisp has a host of frinds in Augusta,
to whom this will he welcomed news.
The Empire State.
A. A. Gaulding, Esq., for a number
of years editor of this paper, published j.
at Griffin, has retired from the Chair
Editorial, as he has purchased an inte
rest in the Atlanta Intelligencer. Maj. J.
H. Steele, formerly the editor of the
Intelligencer, succeeds him. We wish
j them both success.
Disease Among Cattle.— Cattle are
| dying off'at a fearful rate in Brooklyn
and Parma, Ohio. A strange disease
has broken out among them, and no
body knows what it is. About a dozen
valuable cows have died in Brooklyn of
this disease since the Ist inst. In Parma
the other day a man was badly poisoned ( ■
'in skinning a cow that had died of this !
singular disorder. His right hand be
came so inflamed and swollen that it j
was feared he would have to suffer am
putation. j'

(ST Tile .New York Herald, in con.-'
menting on Jlr. Field’s diary says:
“ The progress of the ships after their
separation in mid-ocean would seem to 1
have been regulated by some agency
other than that of human intelligence.
They ran nearly the same distance and
payed out nearly the same length of
cable day by day ; and on the 3d of Au- j
gust we find each vessel reporting the
same depth of water—two hundred
fathoms. The calculations with regard
to the length of cable required are found
to have been wonderfully exact, as the
following will show :
Length of cable on each :

Hostile Disposition of the Mormons. —The
New York papers of yesterday contain
one week’s later news from Utah. The
news is not hopeful of peace prospects.
The temper of the Mormons continues
hostile, the old grudge against the Gen-'
tiles is but imperfectly covered by the
existing armistice, and there is reason
ito apprehend a fresh outbreak at any
j moment; the probabilities of a new
difficulty, previously hinted at, being '
\ rendered stronger by recent advices.—
| Brigham Young is reported to be in a
cross and sullen humor. He remains
all the time within his walled inclosurc,
evidently fearing assassination ; his fol
lowers refuse the commonest courtesies
to Gentile visitors; the Peace Commis
sioners have retired disgusted, and none
of the Federal officials are regarded with
favor except GovernorCumming, whose
course is singular. The Mormons were
returning in a body to Salt Lake City,
bringing their wives and children with
them, and the place was resuming its
wonted aspect. --Baltimore Clipper, 10/A
inst.
Church Difficulty. —The members
of the Methodist denomination, in the
town of Burmingham, on the Ohio,
have recently had a serious difficulty
about a trivial matter. Several weeks
ago a travelling oxhibtion stopped there
| for one night, and quite a number of
i the members attended it, thinking,
(doubtless, it would do no harm. The
! exhibition was a combination of circus, j
| theatre, “ nigger dancing,” and other
pea nut attractions. The Methodist
preacher very severely rebuked tho of
fending members of the church who
attended the show, aDd took immediate'
measures to have them expelled.— |
Whereupon the church in a body desert- 1
ed him.
A New Wrinkle forGeologists —An
attempt to sink an artesian well at Co
lumbus, Ohio, has developed a fact in
geology which is new to the devotees of
that science. The well has already
reached the depth of 1708 feet, mere
than 1000 feet of which are through
solid limestone.
The President.— The Lebanon (Tenn.)
Whig says that John J. Crittenden,who
is on a visit to that town, disavowed all
aspiration for the Presidency, and said
he would not accept a nomination if
tendered him.
Bears. —The Manitowoc (Wis. ) Tri
bune says that bears are destroying cat
tle up there, and that they are plenty
this year. A Mr. Armsby has heard of
twelve well authenticated cases of cat
tle being killed in this manner between
there and Kewaune.

Seth W. Eowle— Sir : You are at use
the following statement for the benefit of the af

I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink ol
the grave. During my sickness I was attended .
by three physicians in our place, but received i
no help. I also tried the various remedies re- j
commended for such complaints, but they af
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was j

to better health than I have enjoyed before for J
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Betsxt Perrin.

t&TCuie the Liver.— Therejs
an article* selling throughout the country that
has attained the widest celebrity ever known as
a remedy for Liver Complaints. We have refer
ence to DR. SANFORD’S INVIGORATOR,
‘ LIVER REMEDY* that has performed cures
most too great to Relieve, were it not for the
j doubted evidence that accompany the
' ininls. It is. in truth, the greatest remedy
! for Dyspepsia, Jaundice, or a general
1 that so often baffles the skill of our most etnincS
I physicians.
j Dr. Sanford has been for a longtime one of
, j eminent physicians of New York, and it ife saifl
most of Ins cases were treated with the InvigV
\ rator with such invariable success that he lnfl
been induced to offer it as a family medicine, ancH
’ let the world have the benefit of his discovery.
If those who are troubled with debility, head
ache. languor, or slow, lingering fever, will try
a bottle, we think they might save physicians’
bills, and days, perhaps years, of suffering.—

that will not escape the envy of those who are
bald, and gray hair is unnatural till one is in the

g#TTlie Great Pi*oblem
Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
' has lost the power of food into a
. life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
; course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
‘ fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
■ nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
’ the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
| wholesome revolution created in the system, the
; basis of activity, strength and health.
! The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
' acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
' i or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical tits, threatened with
' paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
I I terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
! nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
1 or disability arising from the unnatural condition
i of the 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 at once calms,
j invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
| Females who have tried it are unanimous in
i' declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
j woman has ever received from the hands ol
medical men.
| Morse’s Invigorating Elixir Ims a direct, lm
-1 mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite
While it renews the strength of the digestive
I powers it creates a desire for the solid materia!
! which is to be subjected to their action. As an
I appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long lile aud the vigor necessary to its cu
, joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed ol
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, the victim or nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general do
| bility or from the weakness of a single organ
; will all find immediate and permanent relief from
the use of thi3 incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
• will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
f against that terrible malady. There are many
' ‘ perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
. tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
? of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
i tbe disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
; stitution
LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush
of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil
. ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de

J pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous
-1 ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe
,! males, decay of the propagating functions, hys
teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation ot
; the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from
whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli
ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute
• ly infallible.
