Neutrality or tlic Ocean Telegraph. (
The Charleston News says The Eng- <
lish papers were startled at the sugges- ,
tion of the President in ids reply to the (
message of Queen Victoria, that the ,
telegraph should be employed for no ,
exclusively national purpose, hut for ,
the advantage of all nations. The ,
French press manifested a more liberal ,
spirit. The Paris Patrie put this qucs- |
tion the day after the intelligence came ,
from England; "Would an English ,
squadron respect the wires between ,
France and Algeria or a French squad- j
ron those between England and Canada.' 4
Would not a new conquest be achieved j
for the cause of peace, were the neu- ,
trality of telegraphic communications j
to be proclaimed ? Would not the fra- j
ternal union of all Christian nations he ,
advanced?” Galignani’s Messenger pro- ,
nounced these ideas of La Patrie to be i
worthy of deep attention, and likely to I
obtain favor with statesmen of all coun- ,
tries.
Death or Professor Young.—lra
Young, Professor of Mathematics, Natu
ral Philosophy and Astronomy, in Dar- .
mouth College, died on the 13th inst.,
after an operation for a disease which
had baffled the skill of the most emi
nent physicians.
Prof. Y’oung was a graduate of Dart
mouth, of the class of 1828, and was '
about 56 years of age.
Three years ago Professor Young visi- .
ted England, Germany and France up- .
on business connected with his depart-
ment, and was received with honor by
the faculties of other colleges and uni- '
<
verities in those countries.

Novel Terms.
The editor .of the Wilkes Republican,
alluding to some changes in the manage
ment of that paper, says:
"No paper will be sent from the
office unless the cash accompanies it.”
We would like to know how much
cash he proposes to send with each pa
per, as if it is any liberal amount, we
can get him up a large club in this city.
Health of Charleston*
In the hurry of getting in yesterday's
edition the telegraphic report of the
Mortality in Charleston, a figure (1) was
omitted—it should have read one hun
dred and twenty eight by Yellow Fever,
instead of twenty-eight. The Board of
Health, in the in official report, state
that there were 171 deaths in that city
during the week ending 18th inst—lso
whites, and 21 blacks —122 whites and
6 blacks by Yellow Fever. Os the to
tal deaths 48 werechildren.
Health of Savannah.
We are pleased to be able to commu
nicate to our readers this morning the j
following very gratifying dispatch from
tiie Chairman of the Board of Health
in Savannah to the acting Mayor of this ;
city :
“Savannah, Sept. 20.—P. M. i
To Foster Blodgkt, Jr., Mayor pro. tern. :
Dear Sir: I have heard of no new deaths |
nor any new eases of yellow fever to- j
day. The sickness has greatly abated.
No apprehension now exists of any epi- j
demic in this city. The weather is very j
favorable. ffu. T. Thompson,

Infallible Core for Hog Cholera. —
One of the most intelligent and re
liable farmers in this country, says the
Holy Springs (Miss.) Democrat, tells us
of a remedy for hog cholera, which he
says we may give to our readers as in
fallible. This remedy is simply arse
nic, in the proportion of a common tea
spoonful to twenty hogs, mixed with a
little dough and given to them. He
says that after trying every remedy of
which he could hear, aud losing 200
hogs, he happened to think of this, and
tried it with complete success, never
losing another hog after commencing
to use it; although he had a good many
very bad off when he began to use it.—
It is easily tried, and we recommend it
to our readers,

[Correspondence of the Dispatch.] (
Lawrence, Mass., Sept 11,1858. (
Mr. Editor Most of your readers i
probably understand that the city from ,
which I write, is one of the large manu- •
facturing towns which are scattered I
over New England. Lawrence, or “New ,
City,” as it is sometimes called, is one i
of the larger class which has been built ;
up within a few years, and is almost ex- .
clusively a “factory town." The man
ufacturing interests built the city, and i
without the mills, the inhabitants could
not subsist for six months. Like all
other towns and cities of this kind,
with which I am acquainted, it is in
tensely poor. The population is depen
dent on the factories for their daily
food—when business flourishes and sick
ness keeps at a distance they flourish
that is, they earn enough for a comfort
able subsistence, and are able to indulge
in some luxuries. Most of them are im
provident, spending their earnings as j
fast as received ; economy, for the pur
pose of independence, is not a leading
trait in their character—to-day is well j
enjoyed, and to-morrow, when hard j
times shuts up the factory, or disease
enters their dwellings, their purse is
empty, and poverty and deprivation is
the consequence. A 6tranger, in walk
ing the streets of Lawrence at this time,
would meet, on every hand, evidence of
want. There is nothing like thrift to
be observed —poverty “sticks out” at
every door, and “hard times,” and j
“ nothing to do,” is heard on every
side.
The company that first commenced !
operations at this place, was organized j
when manufacturing was good ; they
were wealthy, and laid their plans to
build up the largest manufacturing city
in New England. This Company was
called “The Essex Land and Water Com- j
pany.” They built the dam and canal
on an extensive scale, and held out in- j
ducements, which they supposed, would
concentrate around them the largest
manufacturing interest in the whole
country. For a time they flourished
well; and within five years from the ,
time the first blow was struck, a large
town sprung up and hid fair to eclipse
all competitors. A machine shop,
among the largest, if not the largest in
the land, was put in operation, which
was to build the looms andspinning |
1 jennies for another Manchester or Bir
mingham. The * ‘Bay State Mills’ j
of the $87,000 notoriety—was the first j
factory erected for the manufacture of
cloths. This concern commenced by
making Bay State Shawls. The market
was soon over stocked, and Bay State
stock began to fall. One of the em
i ployees of the concern, a fashionable
• 1 man, mustered up courage enough to
»I lead off in a new innovation on the
! fashions—he appeared in the streets
1 with a shawl over his shoulders, and j
was the observed of all observers. He j
was laughed at and ridiculed, and a set
j of petticoats was sent him, which would ■
: have demolished and banished, at once,
I any common man; but he was a
shrewd man aud sensible to the last.—
’ He had, what most new fashions have
: not, to support him—the shawl was a ;
decided improvement as an outside gar-
I ment—it was comfortable and conveni- j
i ent, and though new fashions do not j
I often originate for such reasons, yet a
- reason, if it is accompanied with ,
| sufficient novelty, will have some
| weight. The fashion took, and the Bay j
| State Mills were again in a flourishing
i condition. Experiments are dangerous
.! —they had succeeded in one—they felt
themselves rich and powerful, aud they
. j hoped to succeed in others. Thechanches
I were somewhat hazardous, but the
; ! object was worth a risk. Probably they
-: were not alone in the game which was
- !to be played, but they took the initia
•. tive—they were leaders in an attempt
r! to bribe Congres .to pass a tariff bill
i j which would drive competition out of
f: their way, aud leave a clear field for
) j their goods at such prices as they saw
II fit to ask ; but they failed in their dl
l' ject. Their agent, Walcot, did not suc-
S | ceed as they expected; their money was
r I gone and they were unable to pay divi
dends to the stockholders, who began
t; to murmur and inquire where the mo
! ney was. Committees were appointed
j by Congress and by the Company to in
vestigate the matter. Some transac
’ | tions were dragged to the light, which
’ I men, high in authority, meant to keep
' dark. The reputation of men, high in
j office, was at stake, as well as the inter
| ests of a great political party. The
facts could not be reached, and a tre
; menderous effort was made to hush up
jtlie matter, and with partial success.
But the stockholders had an interest as
well as the politician ; their money,
which they bad accumulated by toil and
labor, was not returned or accounted
for, and their minds could not be satis
fied that everything was as it should
be. Though they were willing to buy i
1 the votes of Congressmen with their j
money, yet they were not willing to let!
the matter sleep until Walcot demon
strated to their comprehension that be j
had expended the cash as he was order- ■
jedtodo. He, Walcot, has accordingly
| been sued for the whole amount placed
!in his hands The political honesty j
’ and reputation of the men who compose:
| our Congress and lead our political par
ties, is of too much value to be sacrificed
for $87,000. Men who have Bold their
| votes for money, will refund it and
double tiie amount rather than to be
exposed. This money will have to he
accounted for in some way—whether it
will be refunded and thus stop the in
vestigation, and leave the infamy of
the transaction on Walcot’s shoulders,
or whether he will come forward and
exhibit the amouuts paid and to whom,
and thus relieve himself of the infer
ence that he is a swindler, remains to
be seen. At any rate, the Ray State
Company is broke beyond redemption—
extravagance has ruined them. Their
mill will stop next month, and their af
fairs will be wound up and the property
sold. It will he remembered that this
concern shut down their gates last win
ter —after some months it was thought
best to work up the stock on hand—
they are now nearly through and will
close up in a few weeks.

The Rice Crop.
! The following is an extract from a let
ter received in Charleston dated Laurel
Hill, Waccamaw Kiver, September 17,
1858:
“We had a heavy blow in this vicini
ty, on Wednesday night, 15th inst.,
i which has done some damage to the
Rice crop in this section.
“There was a singular occurrence
here on Thursday, the 10th inst. At
the Beach at 7 A. M., the tide began to
| flood ; it ran up until 9 A. M.—rising
| about two feet; it then ran out and
j came in again, giving us high water at
, the usual time, 3 1-2 P. M. The same
occurred on the river, where the differ
ence of time in the tide is two hours.
At 9 A. M. it began to run up and con
tinued until 11 A. M.—rising eighteen
inches; it then ran out, and at IP. M.
it flooded again, giving us high water
|at the usual time. Can you explain this
I (to me) singular occurrence?”

f The Africans Transferred to the
Niagara*
: The United States steamship Niagara,
r from New York, arrived off this Bar on
Saturday last, and came to anchor in
about eight fathoms of water, the up
' per part of her masts being barely visi
-5 ble from the city wharves. The steam
. er Gen. Clinch , which was chartered by
the United States Marshal, left her
1 wharf on Sunday morning and proceed
• ed to Fort Sumter, where she took the
[ Africans on board and proceeded outside
the Bar to the Niagara, which vessel
she reached some time after mid-day.
- The sea was quite rough, and there be
ing some difficulty in getting the Afri
cans off the steamer, the Clinch was at
* tached to the stern of the frigate by
i two hawsers, while a third rope was run
. from tlie spanker-boom of the frigate to
, the deck of the Clinch. On this last
line a large tub was placed, and in it
' the negroes were transported from the
» steamer to the ship. The Niagara will
probably leave for Liberia to-day, (Mon

g”T he Great P roblem
Solvedliß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting lood into a
life-sustaining element, Is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric,
lluld re acquires its solventpower, and tbecrude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralysed 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 fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne dowu and dispirited by that
teriible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arisingfrora the unnatural condition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion aud 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 m
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
woman has ever received from the hands of
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im- j
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite j
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 Pharmacopia.
If long life 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 |
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
will all find immediateand 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
tof 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
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

—Honk*dale Co., Penn., Jan. 10, 1850—Mr.
Seth W. Fowle — Sir : You are at liberty to use j
the following statement for the benefit ot the as- I
dieted :
1 was attacked with the Liver Complaint, j
which apparently brought me to the brink otj
the grave. During my sickness l was attended !
by three physicians in our place, but received
no help. I also tried the various remedies re
j commended for such complaints, but they as
! forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
1 persuaded to try Wistar’s Balsam of Wild
I 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
I as strictly true. Betsey Perkin.
j The above certificate was given in the pre-
I sence of Dr. A. Strong, ot Honesdalo, who is well
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.

[fT Cure the Liver.—There is
an article selling throughout the country that
has attained the widest celebrity ever known us
; a remedy for Liver Complaints. We have refer
ence to DR. SANFORD'S IXYIGORATOR, 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. Sunford has been for a longtime one of the
: eminent physicians of New York, aud 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 the benefit of his discovery.
; j If those who are troubled with debility, head
! ache, languor, or slow, lingering fever, wiM try
a bottle, we think they might save physicians’
; bills, and days, perhaps years, of suffering.—
