AUGUSTA. GA:
I'llul-siiiiv Evening, August 19, 183$.
Transient Advi i tls* incuts Always
Costs.
We are in frequent receipt of adver
• idements from parties who have no reg
ular account w ith the office, and who
erhapshave no more than one notice
nserted in a year. They order an ad
vertisement published one day, or one
.reek— and, if we insert it, the account
-•oes lifon our books to be drawn off
nd presented at the regular time of
aaking semi-annual payments. At
hat time our collector is perplexed with
Hundreds, and perhaps thousands of
these trifling bills, which in the aggre
gate make up an important part of our
- business, and he finds that some of the
parties are dead, bankrupt, or run;
.way, by which means heavy loss is in-’
curred. Now, we submit to all reason-]
able men, that the practice is unreason- 1
able. No man in the interior would
write to a merchant to send him one,
two. or three yards of goods, or a small
package of groceries, without making a
remittance. No good merchant would
comply with such an order from a stran
ger. And yet, such applications are
constantly made to editors. We hare
determined not to notice such far orß
hereafter.
We will give an infallable rule by
which parties can know how to remit
c«h in advance for advertisements to
the Dispatch office : Every square, or
100 words is 50 cents for the first, and
■gs cents for each subsequent insertion
under one month. It is perfectly easy
to make the calculation—any number
cf words under 100 being reckoned as
a full square.
Os course this dose not apply to those
who wish to advertise regularly. From
such we shall be happy to receive fa
vors, or to make contracts with them as J
heretofore.
Yellow Fever In Charleston.
We publish an article from the
( harleston Courier in reference to the I
Yellow Fever in that city. From the
weekly report of mortality it appears:
that six deaths occurred during the
week ending August 14th.
This report is very gratifying, and
we most earnestly trust our sister city ;
may continue to enjoy her present ex-,
eruption from the fever as an epidemic.
We have private letters also, to-day,
stating that the fever is not as prevalent
as it has been represented by the alarm
ists, and that it does not exist in an epi
demic form.
Honor to whom Honor 1* Due.
During the recent jubilation in
honor of the completion of the Tel
egraph Cable, the name of Cyrus
W. Field has occupied, very deserved
ly, a large share of attention. This is,
all right and proper, as it is to his per- j
severance and energy that the experi
ment owes its success. But Prof. Mouse j
has hardly been mentioned, or thought
of, in the common rejoicing, when it is
to .his genius especially that we are in
debted for this great achievement. If
it were not too late, we would propose
a hundred guns for him ; and we, at
least, will express the hope that he be
not entirely forgot tern
Art Xotlee,
The attention of our numerous read
ers in Athens is directed to the an
nouncement, in another place, by Ro
bert Boggs, who has acquired a wide
reputation as an artist of rare ability.
He has had the advantage of instruc
tion from the best masters in Europe,
and has produced some very fine paint
ings since liis return.
No Accounting for Taste.
The Savannah Republican says that
while Reviiki created quite a sensation
in Savannah, the news of the laying of
the cable, and its successful working,
passed off almost unnoticed. Our co-i
temporary seems very well satisfied
with such a result, ard it may be after
all, that all the cities and towns that
have wasted so much gunpowder in
honor of the event, have made a great
mistake.
We are perfectly willing to let our
Savannah friends enjoy the society of
the gallant Zouave and his inamorata,.
while we have a little congratulation
over such trifles as the successful work
ing of the Atlantic Cable. Every one to
their tastes.
Mississippi.
The Auditor of Public Accounts of the
State of Mississippi has published a ta
ble of the assessed value of lands and
negroes in that State, compared with
the assessment of 1854. The follow
ing is the result of the comparison :
Lands, 1858 : : : : $141,747,636
1854 : : : : 90,960,585
Increase : $50,796,585
Negroes, 1858 : : : : 368.182
1854 : : 326,861
Increase : 41,321
The estimated value of the increase,
at the average value of negroes in Mis
sissippi. assumed by the Mississippian,
is $24,792,600 : and the same increase
of land and slaves, within four years,
amounts to the greatsum of $75,692,561.
The value of the whole negro proper
ty in Mississippi, computed from the I
assessment rolls, is $229,009,200.

The Great “Over-Rated.’’
A clergyman, in the Springfield Re
publican, writing from London, de
scribes a visit he made to hear the cele
brated Mr. Spurgeon preach. He did ■.
not like him. He says Mr. Spurgeon]
has the appearance of a fat, over-grown
boy. He is unctious looking and un- j
wholesome. Much fat kills a saint, as;
far as outside appearance counts. The
man is not cast in a noble mould, is not
natively full of pure and holy instincts,
i His theology is purely conventional.—
He has not soul enough to come at reli
! gion first hand. He appeals to a low
} order of motives. His Heaven is sensuous
his hell sulphurous. Mr. Spurgeon talks |
of visiting America. He will make a
great mistake if lie does. He shines so
pre-eminently here because of the low:
state of pulpit eloquence in the land.— ]
His whole tone is below the mark of
congregations he would address in Ame- j
rica. The intellect of the masses in j
England is far less active than with us.
Mr. Spurgeon does not share my opin-]
ion in respect to the wisdom of his go- ]
ing to America. He is excessively con
ceited, and has in his mind Whitfield’s
triumphant progress through the States..
He alluded to the possibility of liis
crossing the sea before his sermon, and
in an exceeding egotistical way.
Health of the City.
We ask the attention of our friends at
a distance to the weekly report of mor-:
tality which appears as usual in this
issue, and which, we trust, will be re
ceived, instead of the exaggerated and
interested rumors which are propagated 1
so iudustriously and mischievously.
We learn from the health officer of'
the city and from other official sources, j
that since the 18th of July there have
lieen ten or twelve deaths—there having:
I been two of doubtful type—of yellow
] fever, entirely among the poor of recent ]
| migration.
There is now no sickness among the '
j shipping, where the fevers of epidemic 1
1 character generally originate or prevail,
i and there have been no cases of yellow
[ fever or other unusual disease at the;
] Marine Hospital.
No marks of an epidemic character |
are developed in the cases that have
| occurred ■or are under treatment.—
1 Charleston Courier 18 th mst.
I The News of Tuesday also contained
the following:
“• The Howard Association." —A corres
pondent asks, what has become of this
Society, whose services would be so im
portant at this crisis ? If there were
proper efforts made, membership could
] be extended so as to include the active
1 portion of the community, and funds
I collected to enlarge the pecuniary
i means, which will soon become pndis
pensable.”
r.mit Palmerston on Ike Right of
Search.
As it is not improbable that this min- 1
: ister may be restored to power, it may!
1 be desirable to know his real sentiments
upon the subject, which were imperfect-j
; ly revealed during the late debates in ]
Parliament. The Loudon Post, a paper j
which he entirely controls, thus ex
presses itself on the matter :
If the British subject who semi in an
American man of war wpractically protected]
\by the flag of ihe United States in peace, j
i and perhaps even in case of capture in war,
i the principle laid down by Mr. Jefferson and
Mr. Webster woidd be an idle boast if the same
' immunity did not extend to the commercial ma
rine of America. It is no doubt high
! ly desirable that all the civilised nations
of the world should concur in embotly
ing some simple code of rules which each
might apply to the ship of a foreign
| State, for the purpose of applying law
• fulness of its flag. Rut such rules can
I only be made by compact, because when
a merchant vessel is navigating the
; open sea, and authorities concur in de
claring the territory of the country to
which the vessel belongs is to be con
sidered the locality of any offence which
the crew may commit, and in pronoun
cing that the offenders must be tried by
the tribunals of that country. Accord
ing to this view, the right of visitation and
i search is a mere gratuitous piece of interfer
ence which, in peace, no country can legally
exercise.
o es e o e
To visit and search where only in one
instance out of a thousand a fair case of
suspicion may be found to exist, and
where the vessel, if really American,
j must be permitted to go free, even should j
she befitted up to the hatches u-ith slaves, and j
, in portions of the sea which are daily ploughed j
by American commerce, appears to be a policy ]
fraught not only with injustice but with danger, j
Donglns and the Washington Union.
The Washington Union and Senator
Douglas are complimenting each other;
j in the most vigorous billingsgate, and
' manage to tell each other very many j
disagreeable truths. Here is a speci
men of how the Senator replies to the ]
! Union:
This man, Wendell, gnd his hirelings,
1 whose whole object is to filch money from the j
public treasury ly their lobby operations, are
attempting to control the politics of 11-;
linois * with the view of securing the
election of men who will act in bar \
monv with them in their peculations
! to the exclusion of the Democratic par
ty. Follow the lead of the Washing
ton Union, and the corrupt gang who
j control it, and you will rend the Dem
ocratic party assunder, and not only
break down those against whom its de
nunciations arc hurled, but disgrace the
Administration which it professes to
support, whilst it covertly makes war
upon the leading declarations and re
commendations of the President and
his Cabinet. I have never noticed the
Washington Union before, because I have
had such loathing, such contempt, such dis
-1 gust for the corruption that hangs around it,
and the corrupt purposes for which its columns
: are used by the men who rule and con
trol it, that I did not wish to trust my
self in an expression of my opinion in
relation to it before an audience.

William Gregg, of Grnnltevtlle.
We take no part in the pending con
test for Senator of Edgefield District,
between the founder of Graniteville
and his distinguished and worthy corn
i petitor—indeed, we are sorry that there
i is not room for both—but we trust that,
without departing from editorial neu
trality, we may give place to the fol-i
lowing heartfelt and well merited trill- j
i ute—the genuineness of which we have
; ascertained—of a Y’ankee girl to the
friend of temperance, the champion of
, woman and the benefactor of his kind,
Kirkset’s Cross Roads, I
Edgefield Dis.,S.C., May 31, 1857. )
William Gregg, Esq :
Sir :—I have heard much of the chiv
alrous defence of South Carolina for
woman, and my experience since I en
tered the State has bscri such as to con
firm the reputation of the State in this
: respect; hut 1 doubt if the noblest of j
her sons has ever uttered a more truly j
j chivalrous sentiment than that express
]ed by you, when you asserted that j
“Women have a right to sober husbands.’’
I know nothing of your political posi- i
tion—yet, were 1 permitted, I would so i
far outstep my sphere as to vote for you. i
You must he on the right side. In fact,
I have already begun to electioneer for
j you. The Palmetto State has higher
; honors than even the annals of Mexico
] can shew, while she boasts men who
] advocate such sentiments. I was born
: in a far off State, where the ideas and
institutions are unlike your own. but I
can appreciateanoble thought wherever
j uttered—that thought is the world’s
! property, and he, whose lips it has con
j secrated, is the world’s benefactor.—
] That man does most for women’s rights,
who does most to elevate man. When
South Carolina can afford to give you
leave of absence, I, in the name of the
mothers and daughters of Maine, pro
mise you a hearty welcome to our less ge
nial clime.
“ Serus in cailum redeat”
and may God crown with every blessing
you— William Gregg—the truly chivalrous
‘ South Carolinian. A Y anker Girl.
A Golden Thought Set in Pearls.—
In speaking of marriages for money,
] Miss Muloch, the eminent writer, ol>-
1 serves,and we think very justly :
Marriage ought always to be a ques- j
] tion not of necessity, but choice. Every
] girl ought to be taught that a hasty,
; loveless union stamps upon her as foul ]
; dishonor as one of those connections;
1 which omit the legal ceremony altogeth- ]
. er, and that, however pale, dreary and 1
| toilsome a single life may be, unhappy ]
married life must be tenfold worse, an
! ever-haunting temptation, an incurable I
regret, a torment from which there is
j no escape but death.”
We are advised that the report of the I
I E. A. Rawlins having brought slaves to |
this country is false. — Macon Telegraph, j
We should like to know from whence j
our cotemporary received his itrfornra- 1
tion. Certes, the Savanaah press have
not been advised of anything of the
sort, and no one here seems to doubt
that the Rawlins did land a cargo of
slaves somewhere, either in this country ]
or in Cuba, and that she will do so again j
in spite of the British cruisers. — Savan- 1
nah News.
Our friend of the News is rather fast
in speaking for the entire Savannah
press. We doubt it, and believe the
Telegraph is right. If the Rawlins went
to Africa at all, in her late cruiso, for
purpose of importing slaves, there are
I circumstances, entirely satisfactory to]
our own inind, which go to show that 1
the expedition was a complete failure.

An Apostate.—The Washington Union

"The vote of Kentucky will teach
Mr. Douglas that, however successful
he may he iu dividing the Democratic

can hope to he regarded in any other
character than as a disorganizer and an
apostate.”

—Hones dale Co., Penn., Jan. 10, 1850—Mr. j
! ?eth W. Fowle—Sir: You are at liberty to usoj
the following statement for the benefit of the as-!
fiicted : j
I was attacked with the Liver Compiaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink of j
the crave. During my sickness I was attended j
by three physicians in our place, but received j
no help. I also tried the various remedies re-;
commended for such complaints, but they as-,
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was j
persuaded to try Wutar's Balsam of Wild j
Cherry, and by using four bottles I was restored I
to better health than I have enjoyed before for j
ten years. This statement may be relied upon j
as strictly true. Betsey Perrin, j
The above certificate was given in the pre- j
sence of Dr. A. Strong, of Honesdale, who is well j
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner, j

HP Cure tlie Liver.— There is
an article selling throughout the country that
lias attained the widest celebrity ever known as
a remedy for Liver Complaints. We have refer
once to I)R. SANFORD’S INVIGORATOR, OR
LIVER REMEDY, that has performed cures al
most too great to believe, were it not for the un
doubted evidence that accompany the testimo
nials. It is, in truth, the greatest remedy known
for Dyspepsia, Jaundice, or a general debility
that so often baffles the skill of our most eminent
physicians.
Dr. Sanford has been for a long time one of tin
eminent physicians of New York, and it is said,
most of his cases were treated with the Invigo
rator with such invariable success that he has
been induced to offer it as a family medicine, and
let the world have tho 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.—

SolvedHß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR.
! DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
! has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, i 3 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
I the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
I paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
j 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
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
i rors, wakened byperiodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of 9en?atiou. roo
! tiou and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
! invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
[ organization.
Females who have tried it arc unanimous in
j declaring the Elixir to lie the greatest boon that
! woman has ever received from the ha 1 ds of
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effec t upon the appetite
I While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material
1 which is to l*e subjected to their action. As an _
appetiser it lias no equal in the Pharmacopia. ,
Iflonglile and the vigor necessary to its en- ;
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of «'
precious worth •
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either I
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing ;
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres- <
sion, the individual suffering from general (le
| bility or from the weakness of a single orgau
j will all find immediate and permanent relief from
i the use of this incomparable reno.-ator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
1 will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
* against that terrible malady. There are many
i perhaps who Lave so trifled with thcdr constitu
; tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
!of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
| Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re*
I ierence to the causes, and will not only remove
| the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con-
I stitution

OUR CHEAP QUAKER CITY SEW
‘ ING MACHINES TRIUMPHANT,

WE .are continually hearing, from
reliable sources, that the Agents of some
high-priced Sewing Machines are crying down
u our reasonable priced ones a? humbugs ; that
s they cannot be made to work, and that parties
e who purchased ours have thrown thorn aside
D and bought theirs in many cas&. Now, we de
nounce each and all of these reports as false,
from whatever source they come.
p The truth is, these opposition gentlemen very
* well know that they must kill off our low-price !
- Machines, or the enormous profit made on theirs
3 will be exposed, much against their intent—
hence their laborious efforts to create theim
* pression that our Machines are worthless hum
bugs.
:i To satisfy the minds of those who may desire
to purchase, hut have not the opportunity of per
-Dually examining and deciding upon its merits,
we have taken occasion to call on a few who
• have our Machines in use, for their true and cac
t did opinion o them. They*have readily and
cheerfully responded, and lor the frank and pub

Messrs. Haigh & Andrews— Gents: We are
aMng your small sized Quaker City Sewing Ma
chines in our families, and they arc giving per
fect satisfaction. We rind them well adapted to
all kinds of sewing. They run much easier, and
from their simplicity, are easier managed and
kept in order than the more complicated high
priced Machine, and we cheerfully recommend
all who are in want of the article, to call and see
yours before paying from $l9O to $l5O lor a Ma
chine which, in our estimation, is no better than
these cheap household assistants. We hail this
Machine as a truly great invention, and the very
low price for which it is retuiled, wiU soon place
it in almost every family in the land.

your small size Quaker City Sewing Machines,
took it home, and without any instructions save
the printed one accompanying the Machine, com

well, and gives entire satisfaction. I cheerfully
recommend your Machine to all who are abor t

coarse or fine sewing. I think all who purchase
one of your Machines, will consider their money
well spent, as my Machine is giving perfect sat

Messrs. Haigh & Andrews— Gents : I have had
one of your Quaker City Sewing Machines in use
mmy family for the last six weeks, and would
take pleasure in recommending, them as every
way adapted to do family sewing ; apparently
as little liable to get out of order as any of the
higher-priced Machines ; and should think, at
the low price at which they are sold, would
place them in the hands of every family.
