(Bbcrang 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, it c t —•-* Col.

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.

Cable Celebbation.—lmitating the ■ example of New Fork, the good people fi of Weldon, N. C., had a grand glorifi . cation over the success of the Atlantic I Cable, on Monday night last. Bonfires blazed, transparencies illuminated the ‘ houses, the depot hell rung loudly, and the locomotive whistles screamed liorri- I bly. - 'I 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." — Ch. Courier. Tiled to KUi Tils Wire. We learn that on yesterday evening a man by the name of John Allen, resid ing at the Coweta Falls boarding-house, attempted to kill by cutting her throat, but fourtunately, or unfortu nately, we are hardly prepared to say which, the cut did not go deep enough tocause her death. We understand that both were under spiritual influence, and that the wife was trying to get into the house while the husband had the doors barred, "when she bettered down tile window and he reached out his arm and cut her throat.

Social Holm 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 LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofself-de sl ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous | ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe- I males, decay of tho propagating functions, hys ! teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of 1 the heart, impotcncy, constipation, etc., from j whatever came arising, it there is any reli ; ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute ly infallible. | CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial | has been counterfeited by some unprincipled , persons.

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.— Ohio Statesman. aulß-„m HPAmlirotypes for the Million.—ls you want a first-rate AMBROTYPE, beautifully colored and putin a neat case for Fifty Cents, go to the original Fifty Cent Gallery, Post Office corner, opposite the Georgia Railroad Bank.

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.
