We are much gratified at our experi ment of a cheap weekly paper. It has met with warm favor from the very first, and will in a short time compare favorably in circulation with the cheap weeklies of the North and West.— Neighborhoods are giving up their cheap Northern and Western weeklies, and clubbing for the Dispatch. In some counties we have over a hundred subscribers, chieflly neighborhood clubs, who get the paper at one dollar a tear. We are working for 20,000 subscribers, and when we get them, we will convince the public that they need not go out of their own section for a newspaper equal to the best on the contiment. If our friends will eacli work for a few mo ments in our behalf, they can double and thrible our circulation by Christmas. Just think of it—a paper every week like the Dispatch, puplished at home at one dollar a year. (Single subscribers must always send one dollar and fifty cents.) There are many who have read our paper quite regularly during the last year, who might be induced to subscribe for it, aud at every Post Office in the State, and in the adjoining States, with a little exertion, a club might be ob tained. The winter evenings give all classes ample time to read, and we re spectfully ask all the readers of the Dispatch to use their influence in ex- j tending its circulation. Dr. Marker. 'This gentleman has closed his lectures j in this city, which have been well at- | tended. He remains until to-morrow j afternoon, and can be consulted at his room at the Augusta Hotel. The next city he will visit will be Macon. Freights from Savai nah. By reference to the advertisement of Brigham, Baldwin & Co., it will be seen that Freights by their line have been advanced to ten cents per foot for Dry Goods, and other measurement goods- and eight cents per foot for Hats, Boots and Shoes. Other goods at regu lar rates. Proceedings Uoar«l ol Health. Regular Meeting, ) . September 23d, 1858. Five o’clock, P. M. ) Present—James M. Dye, Chairman. Members —Messrs. Ebenezer W.

Disease Among cue Oysters. — We un derstand that the oysters avid clams which abound m-tmeh profusion on our coast, have become diseased. On open ing them the contents are -found to be perfectly black end shriveled up, pre senting a singular appearance. In con sequence of this, sounders ha>v? stopped eating them altogether. Who can tell the cause of this mortality among the oysters ? Wilmington (N. C.) Herald. Sale of a Large Cotton Factory.— The Providence (R. 1.) Journal reports that the steam cotton mill in that city was sold by auction on Thursday last, for $52,000, and the taxes assessed upon it the present years, amounting to about SI,OOO more. Messrs. A. D. & J. Y. Smith were the purchasers. There are 15,000 spindles and 368 looms, with all the usual preparations. The assessed value of it last year was $160,000. (J. S. District to art. Mr. Toombs, on yesterday, concluded the argument for complainants, in the case of Anson Bangs &Co., vs. the Blue Ridge Railroad Company. His friends and admirers, got the Superior Court to give up the court house for his benefit. A large crowd of both ladies and gen tlemen were out to hear him. From what we heard, we must say that we were sadly disappointed. Long habit of political haranguing has unfitted him for addressing Courts of Justice, and especially a Chancellor. A great inter est is felt in this cause, anil we look with some interest to the Spring lerm of the U S. District Court, when Judge Nieholl will render his jidgment. - Ma rieltu Patriot, 23 d in Cotton Crop of tbeUnited States, 1858. [From the New York Shipping List.] Cotton Crop of the l ulled States.
