Ttaai-sday Evening, Angust W, 1858. j
To Correspondents.
We decline publishing the communi-:
cation from Cuminiug, Forsyth county, 1
signed “Doe Head.” In the first place
it is too lengthy, and, in the next, it
would be of but little interest to our
numerous readers. We will preserve
the mafanscript, and would advise the
writer to send it to the Crusader.

Eclectic Mogaalne.
We have received from the publishers
in York, the September number
of this valuable monthly. It is liaud
somelvembeliaßsjl with a portrait of
Rev.j Chas. KrsO«V£T, and of David
GarAick and his wife.. Its contents are:
varindtand interesting.
HcivP Has the Smith Gained.
For ten or fifteen years past, Slavery
has been a pervading question in poli
tics. All thiHMiticians, of all stripes,
have- united-in assuring our people that
fcarftil dangers impended, which seem
ed about to destroy the eoeiety and
subvert the liberties of the slave States.
This we believe, to have beep true.
Nor do we conceive that these perils!
are now less threatening. It is our pur-1
pose to inquire briefly how far thej
work of protection has progressed.
During the session of ’49-’SO, the
country was terribly agitated by the
struggle which resulted in what is
known as the compijjgniee of 1850.
We are at a point of time when, if ever, we
ouglit to see some advantage derived
to Slavery from the series of measures
then adopted. First in order, was the
‘ Fugitive Slave law.*’ Sis tile chief!
object of law to prevcA evil; hut so
far has that law been ffdta accomplish
ing this end, that the escape of slaves j
from the border stated, i^'daily on the
-increase, and has beeil so perseveringly
aided! by the emissaries of abolitionists,
that all hope is how relinquished of
checking the crime. It is conceded on
all hands t^at'no power exists in-the
federal government which can put an
end to the nefarious business-. The
only hope of protection for the owner
is in the power of his state government.
Put even that power will he invoked in
vain unless supported by public opinion
in those localities where the evil is
most prevalent. Unfortunately those
localities are the very ones whore there
exists a larger class of population,
whosfe sympathies, far from being pro
slavery, are on the side of the negro
thieves. Thus the efforts of the master
to secure his property are thwarted by
those very neighbors upon whom he
ought to be able to rely for aid. The
late difficulties in Maryland, are ample
verifications of this assertion ; while it
was well said by a late Kentucky paper,
that negro stealing is getting to be re
spectable on the south side of the
Obitfriver.
One of the provisious of the I ugitive
law prescribed punishment for impe
ding or refusing to aid in, the rendition
of escaped slaves. In all the cases in
which southern men have endeavored
to recover their slaves, has anybody
ever heard of a single instance in which
punishment has been visited upon any
of the individuals or mobs that have
harbored the runaways and obstructed
the process of the law? The law has
been totally disregared at the North. j
so far as the penalties for disobedience
are concerned. It is also wholly worth
h-ss to the owner, since no instance has;
occurred in wnich the expense of re
capture has not far exceeded the value |
of the negro. The blindest admirer of;
tlie Compromise of 'SO, will admit that j
the loss of slaves, through underground
railroads, is an injury for which neither
the federal law, nor those of the slave
states,’ provide the slightest remedy.
Can it then be pretended that in this
law the South gained an ioto ? No.
No-one will pretend that the institu
tion gained territory or friends by the j
admission of California.
Another one of those measures was,
the purchase of a region, large enough;
for a state, from Texas, at the cost of
ten millions of dollars. Had that re
gion been retained within the limits of'
Texas, it would have remained slave'
territory. By its annexation to the
Territory of New Mexico, it is now ex- j
posed to the growing certainty that, j
that territory will be settled by a free-' -
soil population. With our recent ex
perience in introducing slavery as an
institution into Kansas, is there much
room for hope that we shall be more for
tunatc in New Mexico? With 850,000
foreigners entering the west every year,
and with the native increase of popula
tion in the free states, twice as great as
the increase of whites in the South, can
a man be found so extravagant as to de
clare it possible that New Mexico will
be a slave state ? What then did the
South gain by consenting to the pur
chase of Texas slave soil to become sub
ject to the popular sovereignty by
which it is to be freesoilised ? Nothing!
It was said by Messrs. Coub, Toombs,
Stephens an others, who had a political
game to play, that the South were to
find their share of good from the Com
promise in the peculiar condition of thei
Bills, for the territorial governments of
New Mexico and Utah. “Congression
|al Non-Intervention,” with slavery in
| the Territories, was to be the great sal
vation of the South. We were called i
' upon to rejoice, because Congress had '
not done in those territories what they
had no Constitutional authority to do!
But here comes in the question, of
what advantage will it be to the South,
, that freesoil hordes are to he the doers
|of that which Congress abstained from!
doing? To the material interests of
the South, as to the safety of the slavery
basis, what imaginable difference is
there between a Wilmot Proviso, and an j
exclusion of slavery by the Kansas pro-1
cess! Let it l>e granted that one is a
constitutional and the other au uncon
stitutional method, yet if there could
be an advantage to the institution from
its extension into a given territory, its
exclusion therefrom will be a comtnen
; surate disadvantage, no matter how
that exclusion may be brought about.
Is there theu a gain to the South, either
! realised or to be realised in any measure
iof 1850? We cannot see it. If by
; those measures slavery gained friends : j
who are they ? If territory, where is -
it? If safety, what is it ? *

Marietta, August 25th, 1858.
Dear Dispatch : —The manufacturing
enterprises of this vicinity are in a flour
ishing condition. Denmead's Flour
I Mill is running day and night, turning i
| out over 200 barrels of flour per day,
j Col. Glover’s Tannery is one of the lar
gest and most succesful establishments
of the kind in the whole country. He
is also a large manufacturer of negro
shoes. Mr. McEnfresh is rebuilding his
Cabinet Works, burned two years ago,
and there are various mills and mechine
works in the county, all in vigorous op
eration.
The health of the vicinity is reraarka-1
bly good this season. The weather for j
two days has been unseasonably cool, j
! and two blankets were not uncomforta- :
ble last night.
The number of visitors in the up- ;
country is unusually small this scas-j
on.
Wheat is stiffening a little in this
market, and prime red brings 75 to 78
cents to day. Corn is worth 43 to 45
cents. Dried fruit is coming in freely,
and peaches unpealed sell at $l.OO.
Pealed brings from wagons $3.00.

Cure for Bronchitis.— One of our
cleverest and most reliable friends, says
the Holly Springs Herald , informs us
that common mullen leaves, smoked in
a now pipe— one in which tobacco hasne
ver been used—is a sure and.certain cure
i foi bronchitis. The remedy is simple
and innocent, aud witliiu the reach of '
all. Recollect that this is no retired
physician’s remedy, but is given to fls
by a citizen of our city, who has tried
it himself, and seen it tried on others,
; and lias never known it to fail in effect
ing a permanent cure.

The #vsu at the Virginia Springs.
: —The Petersburg InteUigmcer has the fol
: lowing extract of a letter from the Rock
Alum Spring, dated the 17th instant:
“The crowd here is immense. At
least one thousand. Stages answer the
; purpose of bedrooms every night. The
| ball room has likewise been converted
i into a Bleeping apartment for ladies—

Rust in Cotton. —We learn that the
rust is making sad havoc with the cot
ton in this county. Large fields which
two weeks ago were flatteringly prosper
ing, are now almost entirely cut off.—
| This blight seems confined tone partic
|u!ar locality, but seems to he generally
diffused throughout the county. Our
.'farmers who, two weeks ago, were san
guine of making a fair average crop,
[are now apprehensive of a very short
crop.— Lumpkin Palladium, 26th inti,
The Heallh of the City.
The official reports of the yellow fe
ver mortality in the city, published
daily in our columns, furnish our read
ier*, at home and abroad, with reliable
data in regard to the actual condition
of the health of the city. It will be
observed by an examination of them,
ttiat an increase of mortality is record
ed since Wednesday, though the total
number of deaths from this source for
the entire week may not much exceed
that reported for the week previous.
In examining the statistics of previ
!ous years, wlmn the fever has prevailed
lin our city, this fact recurs so often as
(almost to be regarded as data for sound
J conclusions in regard to the regimen of
[the disease: It has gradually increased
(for nine weeks from the date of its first
appearance, when it has commenced to
decline in nearly the ratio of its previ
ous increase. This is the ninth week
since the fever made its appearance,
and by the rule alluded to—if it can be
called a rule—the number of deaths
Isbould largely exceed those reported of
any previous week. But, after all, so
j little is ascertained of the disease, so
joften do all calculations fail, that what
has occurred repeatedly, and almost
‘regularly in past years, may not occur
again.
The mortality this season is not as
great as it was for the corresponding
weeks of 1855. That year was not re
garded by our citizens, or by strangers,
as one attended with the scenes usual
when an epidemic prevails. There is
I scarcely a probability that we shall be
called upon to record so high a mortali
ty as marked that year, and we may
hope soon to date the commencement of
a return to a normal state of health.—

—Honesdalb Co., Penn., Jan. 10, 1850-—Mr.
Sktji W. Fowle—Sir : You are at liberty to use
the following statement for the benefit ol the af
flicted :
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink ol
the grave. During my sickness 1 was attended
by three physicians in our place, but received
Ino help. I also tried the various remedies re
commended fur such complaints, but they af
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
persuaded to try IPisfar’s liaham of Wild
Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Betsey Perrin .
The above certificate was given in the pre
sence of Dr. A. Strong, ol Hocesdale, who is well
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.

6?T T !i e Great P r o Mem
Solved !— W.. HORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is reliev ed 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 or Neuralgia. Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, alJlieted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude whicli proceeds from a lack o!
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnatural condition
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,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous ir,
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman ha 3 ever received from the ha<-ds 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 material
which is to be subjected to their action. As at
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed ot
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 of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
willatl find immediateand permanent relief from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete ami unfailing safe guard
against that terrible mitady. 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 wsth disease as it exists, without re*
erence to the causes, and will not only remove
the di-.order itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution
