AUGUSTA.GA:
Monday Evening, Sept. 0.1555.
|g” Bead our Telegraph News, it is
important. It will be seen that the
Yellow Fever has rapidly increased
in Charleston during the past week, and
that the President has ordered the fri
gate Niagara to Charleston to convey
the Africans hack to their country.
Trial of the Slavers—Law of Piracy.
The trial of the crew of the brig Echo
will take place, unless deferred for some
reason unknown to us, at Columbia, S.
C., some time after the fourth Monday
in November next. They will be ar
raigned upon a charge of piracy,under
the law of the United States, which de
clares —“That if any citizen of the Uni
ted States, on a foreign vessel, or any
person whatever, on a vessel owned in
whole, or in part, or navigated for or in
behalf of any citizen of the United
States, undertake to bring any negro or
mulatto from any foreign shore for the
purpose of holding him as a slave,either
In this country, or in any other country,
such person shall be adjudged a pirate,
and on conviction thereof shall suffer
death.’’ We give the substance of the
law, without its exact language.
The act for which these men are to
suffer the penalty of death, if found
guilty, is simply and only that act by
which the citizens of these slave States
acquired the negro property which they
now hold.
Os the justice or sense of the law
which proclaims the act of these men
piracy, and the Southern people a na
tion of pirates, we shall say nothing,
language would fail us were we to at
tempt an expression of the contempt we
feel for that man who defends the law
upon any pretext. He is too low down
in debasement to deserve the protection
of law, and, so far as we are concerned,
such men shall never receive counte
nance from us. For the honor of the
legal fraternity in the South, we do hope
that no lawyer can be found willing to
disgrace himself by conducting a prose
cution, under this law. We connot
believe that Mr. Conner, the District
Attorney, will be that lawyer.
But if the trial shall be commenced,
and the prosecution shall succeed in es
tablishing as fact, that these men, or
any portion of them, are citizens of this
country, or that the vessel was cn Amer
ican vessel, there still remains a point
tobe discussed—the constitutionality of
the law which defines the slave trade to
be piracy. To our mind nothing is
clearer than that the law is entirely
without foundation in the Constitution.
We believe it to be a commonly en
tertained notion, that the law of
which we are speaking, rests upon
that clause of the Constitution which
provides that—“ The migration or im
portation of such persons as any of the
States now existing Bhall think proper
to admit, shall not be prohibited by
Congress prior to the year one thou
sand eighteen hundred and eight. '
Such is not the fact. The notion is en
tirely erroneous. It is evident that the
above clause conferred no power upon
Congress over anything but importation
into this country. Under this clause
Congress could, by no construction,
however forced, find excuse for interfer
ing with the exportation of negroes
from Africa, 01 their importation into
other countries.
This detestable law, which stigma- i
tizes the Southern people as pirates, and i
prescribes the penalty of death for en- \
gaging in an otherwise lawful com- (
merce, was enacted in 1820, with the ,
following preamble :
An Ad to continue in force 1 ‘An Act to
protect the commerce of the United States and
punish the crime of piracy ,” and also to '
make further provisions for punishing the
crime of piracy. j
As appears, from this preamble, and
also from the debate which occurred in
Congress at the passage of the law, the 1
law is based upon those clauses of the 1
Constitution which provide that Con- '
gress shall have power—“To regulate i
commerce with foreign notions and <
among the several States, &c.”—and— (
“To define and punish piracies and fel- s
onies committed on the high seas, &c.” j
The question turns upon the proper
construction to be given to these clauses.
Do they confer upon Congress the un
limited power to declare, at their dis
cretion, that any species of commerce,
in which our citizens may engage, is *
piracy ? Unless this unlimited power is
conformed, it is impossible to show that t
the clauses in question gives any power t
to suppress the slave trade. The slave t
trade stands naturally on the same j
footing as any other species of com- E
merce, and if Congress may, at their
discretion, destroy a paiticular branch j
of traffic by declaring it to be piracy,
they may destroy any branch, for no '
particular bianeh was specified in these
clauses. If they are held to convey a
power to destroy one branch, they must
equally convey a power to destroy all
branches. The absurdity of such con
struction, it would seem, need hardly
be shown.
Now the law, which we are discus
sing, rests upon exactly this construc
tion and upon no other. And whither i
does it lead, if not to the conclusion, !
that Congress may prohibit citizens of
this country from proceeding to France
to take on board a cargo of wines and
liquors ? If in complice with the pre
judieies of Abolitionism, Congress may
undertake to say that our citizens shall
| not transport negroes to Cuba nndcj
1 penalty of death, they may make
i similar prohibition in regard to
ior cldtfc, or cotton. If the
ers of the North can control a luajoritß
I :it -Washington, they may procure thH
■ enactment of a law which shall ad-1
3 judge it piracy to import cloths from a|'
5 foreign country to this, or to any otheri
1 country. Or desiring to secure then*
I selves against the competition of fc^H
■ eign nations, in our cotton market, tl^H
- may send delegations to
enact that whoever undertakes to I .*;•
port Cotton from this country shall
’ fer death ! This conclusion is too pi\
* to be avoided. Is it not, therefore, pIH
! fectly evident that it is not the inteiS
and meaning of the Constitution tim
j give any power over the slave trade
. further than to protect our citizens who
may engage in it, and to regulate the
manner of carrying it on, not so as to de
stroy, or render it unprofitable or dangerous ?
Does anybody believe that the clause
' to define and punish piracies was ever
II intended to place in the hands of gov
n ernment the power to destroy a trafic
under the pretence of regulating it? In
,r the interpretation of written Constitu
te tions no dogma is more deserving to be
sr understood and acted upon, than, that
r, the power to regulate the exercise of a
right does not include the power of de
■r stroying, or working any abridgement
e of that right.
There is another view which may be
taken of this matter, of the constitu
-0 tionality of this law. Congress cer
l* tainly had no power to prohibit the im
y portation of 6laves to this country prior
is to 1808. Yet, if the power to define
y and punish piracies, includes the power
to define the slave trader as piracy,
w then the federal government might have
n accomplished that, by an indirection,
which could not be accomplished di
r rectly. If Congress could rightfuliy
'■ enact the law in 1820, it would have
been done with the same right, under
,e the piracy clause in 1800, and thus the
w importation of slaves could have been
n effectually btopped before 1808. This
m view demonstrates the utter absurdity
3, of supposing that the power to define
e- piracy, is broad enough to destroy the
, e slave traffic, since it could surely be ab
,e surd to hold that a clause of the Con
stitution was susceptible of one con
struction at one time, and of a differ
”, ent interpretation at another time,

The Chattanooga Advertiser announces

t The editor of the DjsrATCii was in
f Chattanooga sometime last week, hut
0 if he is the man alluded to, the Advertis

f not claim nor desire. To our knowledge,
■ he never was an aspirant for military
" honors. The heighth of his ambition

1 to a title, he should be called Brigadier

Colton Crop In Mississippi.
1 We conversed yesterday (says the Co
-1 lumbus Sun,) with a gentleman just re
turned from Mississippi, and he informs
’ us that there is much complaint out
, there in regard to the boll worm, which
, is said to lie committing great ravages.
He says, however, that so far as he
could see in traveling along the road,
the crops looked very well, and bore
but little evidence of the great destruc
tion complained of. He thinks that
the crop of Mississippi will be short of
what was expected a short time since,
but that it will exceed the crop of last
year.
Nexa Sahib.—This Arch-fiend of the
Indian rebellion is said to be so effectu
ally concealed that nobody can guess
where be is to be found. The rebellion
is now believed to be at an end, few of
the popular chiefs are at large, and
none in command of any military port
or city, but the cruel and crafty miscre
ant who was the instigator of the worst
scenes of the rebellion, has escaped that
justice which has overtaken others less ,
criminal than himself.
The Printing Press.
The London Herald, in an article on
the Atlantic Telegraph, pronounces it i
“the second greatest feat in the history
of mechanical progress connected with
the furtherance of civilization.” The
first place it gives to “the invention of
printing, and sympathising as much
as possible with the tendency of every
generation to exaggerate the events of
its own time, it yet seems difficult to i
deny the superior claims of the printing 1
’ press.

t'llAßl.KSToxTlti^m^^H
/ small sketch of
brig Echo, or General Putnam, as pub
belied in some of the papers, is very
erroneous with regard to the capture
and cargo. I shall give you a true ac
count, as I have been imprisoned as
one of the crew. On the morning of
August 21st, we made land about three
or four miles to the South or eastward
ot Sagua la Grande, in three and half
fathoms of water, when we kept away
to the northward and westward. In a
short time we marie out the town, seve
ral vessels lying in the harbor, and one
coming out, under American colors,
which we took to be a molasses lugger,
supposing her to be bound to some nor
thern port. When we got by the port,
part on board made her out to have
English colors set, which she chased us
under, which it was reported by some
of the papers that the brig called the
Putnam wore.
But I must confess it was a most gal
lant capture by an American man-of
war to chase an old ten-knot brig from
. sunrise to half past four or five o’clock
in the afternoon, before she could make
her heave to. If the brig had been iu
trim, it is my opinion she would have
run clear. I understand that the Span
i xsh pilot insisted that he knew the brig,
and that she had a cargo of negroes on
board. The Dolphin is reported to not
care about boarding the brig. Why
then did she chase all day with a press
of canvas and studding sails set ?
About four o'clock the Dolphin kept
off. Not being able to make out wheth
er she intended to go to Cardenas or
give us a gun, we took in all studsails,
to try to get to windward and out of
reach of her guns ; but, on seeing this
she hauled on the wind, and fired agun
for us to heave to. She bad fired two
guns before. We took but little notice
. of them, and we thought we were out
of gun shot. Her shot fell about forty
yards ahead, on our lee-bow. She had
1 English colors set, which she hauled
1 down and set American. We lmd the
American colors set. As we had no
others on board to save us from being
fired into, and were about getting ready
to heave to, she fired a shot across our
quarter. We hove to immediately. -
She lowered a boat with three or four
officers, marines and ten men armed,
against a crew of unarmed men, twen
ty-one white persons all told. When
on board they immediately ordered
every one in the boat to go on board
the Dolphin. They kept two and a
sick man there, as we supposed, to find
out the particulars. When ou board
! the Dolphin they put those supposed to
I be the crew in double irons, and search
■ ed every one, as they said, to find pu
! pers ; but, I believe they found nothing
to lead to the vessel’s nationality.
The vessels kept company all night.
In the morning the captain of the Dol
phin went on board of the prize, and
overhauled everything of value in the
shape of sweetmeats and eatables, like
wise paints and oils, and transferred
them on board of the Dolphin, with
some very good brandies and wines. It
is reported that the crew of the slaver,
when they thought they were out of
danger, were drinking in revelry,
which is entirely false. There is a good
deal said about the treatment of the
negroes. I can assure you that the ne
groes were well taken care of by the
crew, kept clean, the vessel being well
supplied with medicine. But no one
can judge by appearanefes since the
government had charge of the vessel,
as they were not properly attended to
in any wry.
No more at present.
A .IliiilHtt’r’e. Walk and Conversation.
The editor of the North Carolina j
Presbyterian, who is at the Virginia!
Springs, h* heard a good story of j
Speaker Orr and the Rev. Dr. W., of j
Lexington. Not long since, the story j
goes, they were both at the Warm j
Springs, and met in a public room of
the hotel. They had been sitting with j
other company, and after awhile the
Doctor ro6e and walked across the room j
with the usual limp in his gait. Mr. !
Orr immediately recognized him, and [
asked if he were not the Chaplain at!
the University of Virginia at such a |
time, naming the year. The Doctor re
plied that he was. “I was there,”
said Mr. Orr, “a student, at the Uni- i
versity. and I knew you by your limp.” j
“Well,” said the Doctor, "it seems my |
limping made a deeper impression on you j
than my preaching." The joke placed
Mr. Orr in an awkward predicament, j
and most men would have been unable
to extricate themselves, hut he replied
with ready wit:—“Ah, Doctor, it is
the highest compliment we can pay a
minister to say, that he is known by his
walk rather than by his conversation." —

that the wife was trying to get into the

gTTke New and Startling
| Poem of the Dress for the Hair :
CANTO i.
Miss Flora McFlimsey of Madison Square,
A lady of fashion, of wealth and of beauty,
Spent money like water for stuff lor the hair,
And did it because she thought it a duty
To paint the fine lily—to perfume the rose—
To gild refined gold—though few would suppose ;
Miss Flora McFlimsey, with beauty so rare,
Required aught to make her more charmingly |
canto ii. [fair.
Miss Flora had heard of a noted Professor,
Who dressed his own hair, tho’ noi a Hairdresser,
With a magical, wonderful, great preparation.
(Now used in vast quantities over the nation )
This noted Professor was grey as a rat
At juvenile thirty—no older than that—
And the amount of poor hair his crown had on it,
(Though now as black as a raven’s wing,
With lustre enough for a ball room king,)
Would not have been accepted, such was its
harsh and dry character, by any fashionist,how
ever bald she might have been, who e’er wore
a bonnet.
This is all of this beautiful and startling poem
which will be published in this paper. I' you
desire to learn the effect of tho preparation
which Miss McFlimsey applied to her hair, call
at 312 Broadway, and Professor Wood’s Agent
will prove to you that WOOD’S HAIR RESTORA
TIVE is one of the best articles f-r beautifying
and promoting the growth and restoring the
original color of the hair, ever safe, put before

l@“The Great Problem
Solved!—Dß. MOUSE'S INVIGORATING COR
| DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whoso stomach
j has lost the )H>wer of duly converting food into a
i 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
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors. wakened by periodical Gts, 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 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 in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the Lards ol
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 an
appetiser it has no equal in the I'harmacopia.
If long lile and the vigor necessary to its en
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 of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general dc
bility or from the weakness ot a single organ
will all find immediate and permanent relief from
the use of this incomparable renovator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
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
ference to the effuses, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

ET What it is Doing for the
Sic k l-Wru. Schucbman, Esq., the well known
Lithographer, says : ; -I have frequently used
Bcerhave’s Holland Bitters, and find it invariably
relieves indigestion aud debility.”
Reverend Samuel Babcock, says : “I found
special relief from its use, for a severe headache,
with which i bad long suffered.”
J. W. Woodwell, Esq., says : “I have used
Boerhave’s Holland Bitters myself, and recoin
mended it to others, knowing it to be just what
it is represented.”
Aid. Jonathan Neely, of Lower St. Clair, says :
“ I have derived great benefit from its use for
weakness of the stomach and indigestion.”
Jas. M. Murphy, says : “ After several physi
cians had failed, Bcerhave’s Holland Bitters re
moved the pain from my heart and side, arising
from indigestion.” sepl-dtocl
HT*Cure the Liver.—There is
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, 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 bailies the skill or our most eminent
physicians.
Dr. Sanford has been for a longtime one of the
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, aud
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, aud days, perhaps years, of suffering.—

Sarsaparilla Compound,
For Purifying the Blood.
Sarsaparilla which grows in tire
Southern States has been underra ed by
many at the South. The manner in which it ha
been prepared, by those unacquainted with the
nature of its roots, is what has caused its disre
pute. Southern Sarsaparilla, selected of good
and fresh roots, prepared without a loss of its
vol itilo principle, upon which its medicinal vir
tue ma’nly depends, makes a better preparation
than physicians generally suppose. It is better
than the imported or Honduras, because it can
be prepared while the roots have 'heir full
strength. It has the natural .’arsaparilla taste,
and produces the natural effects of Sarsaparilla.
This Sarsaparilla has been improved by the
addition of other medi ines ol well known and
long established reputation, aud makes the best
preparation of the day for Purifying the Blood.
Those preferring it, should express, in their or
ders, GEORGIA SARSAPARILLA COMPOUND, or
Dennis’ Alterative.
