AI GU STA. GrA: '
■Vedawday Evening, October 6,1858. (
i«lc of the Stele Hoad nnd Dlsjioeal
of the Proceeds.
We advocate the sale of the Western j 1
•i Atlantic Road, not because there are j
objections peculiar to a railroad as A;
piece of State property, but became 1
sound principle renders 'it inexpedient!
hatja State should hold any proper* y be
yond what is required for the discharge
<ff government functions. In the mere
tala, therefore, of the Road, and its
conversion into property of other forms
to k be held by the State, we should
not reach the end which we deem desir
able. Whatever disposal might he
made of the proceeds of sale, if they
remain subject to the control of the |
State government, they will ever be a 1
bone of contention in our public policy, j
The officers of the management would j
of course he under State authority, !
Their positions must be somewhat luc- ,
rative or fail to command talent, but
if paying well, would necessarily pro
duce a scramble for their possession ;
while temptations to peculation would
be no fewer than they now are. Be
sides, however the money might be in
vested at first, the whole subject would
be always at the mercy of the varying
caprices of the Legislature. It is to
remedy the evils which already exist,
and to prevent greater ones, by remov
ing their source beyond the sphere of
party and politics, that we desire the
sale of the Road as the first step in the
process,
Os the mode of selling the property,
we will hereafter express our views, but
the present question is, what shall be ,
done with the money *
We are pleased to believe that our
opinions concur in the main, with those
of a gentleman eminent for his abili
ties, and none the less so for an integri
ty of character which raises him above
suspicion of selfish aims. We allude to
T. R. R. Cobb, Esq. We regret that we
are not informed of the details of the
plan which he is unfolding to the peo
ple. The plan which we are about to
suggest, corresponds with his so far at
least as to contemplate devoting the
Road to educational purposes. We un
derstand further, that he favors the en
dowment of the colleges of Georgia.—
Os this we also approve, provided the
thing be done in the right manner and
on proper conditions.
We, further, wish it understood that
we do not intend to adhere with an im
practicable spirit, to the details of the
plan which we shall hereafter develop
quite fully. Professing ourselves ac
tuated by principle in this matter, we
shall be glad to he pointed to the defects
in our scheme, and to accept any amend
ments which may seem likely to contrib.
ute to ultimate success in redounding to!
the good of our people.
Our proposition is—
First.—An ample endowment of the j
State University at Athens, with such
detail of manner and condition as shall
comprise an entire re-organization
the institution from top to bottom.
Second—The donation of liberal
sums to the three denominational colleges
at Penfield, Oxford and Midway; the
conditions of the donations to be of
such a nature as to remedy certain vital
errors in our present educational sys
tem, and to preserve the unity of the
whole new system.
Third—The equitable division of the
amount remaining after the above en
dowroents, among the several counties
oS the State, to be used solely for edu
cating the people, and to he acid by
proper officers, in trust, ior that pur
pose.
We regard it as of primary import
ance to give the University of Georgia
something beyond its present academic
character, to make it in fact, what it is
in name. Let it be a resort for those
who, after having received the train
ing of College, may desire to pur
sue farther, particular branches of
knowledge. Let it be indeed an alma
mater, fostering to maturity a class of
'learned men, without whose presence in
tip land C'HJ- tuH-rpna «vJ.I K»* edit
cated ; for it may be confidently antici
pated that unless the streams of knov i
edge tiow from a higher fountain than
at present, they will never spread over
our Slate more broadly, nor cover it
more deeply than now.
To accomplish this end, then, of giv
ing university foundations to the State
institution, we suggest six hundred
thousand dollars as a proper sum to be
set apart for that purpose; one hundred
thousand to be expended in buildings.!
The remaining five hundred thousand
being united with the present property
of Franklin College might constitute a
permanent fund, the annual income of
which would not fall far short of forty
five thousand dollars.
We cannot overlook the past services
of Oglethorpe, Emory ami Mercer, nor!
undeirate their capacity for usefulness j
in the future. As citizens of the State, I
the undividual members of the church-1
es, under whose auspices the colleges j
were founded, have a right to expect
that their views and wishes shall be I
fairly considered. They have as much,
as we or anybody else can have, at stake
in the educational policy of Georgia.
We are all co-equal owners of the pro
perty concerned. We can but think j
natural and pure justice, tb„ t tl)e f
friends of each should receive a p>- o per c
amount of aid in their labors. j t ; g to
be desired that certain cor cal . ‘
culated to promote b ftTmony of acUo n
and unity of ghould be assented j
to by all tl> Colleges. Reserving a
, <iiscuss .’.on 0 f these conditions for a fu-
, tur S atttc*e, we now suggest one hun
dred a'.ui fifty thousand dollas as a suit
| amount to be donated to each of
| ''ne three denominational institutions.
-1 We think we may entertain a rational
! hope that from three and a half to four
millions would remain to be divided
among the several couoties for the pur
pose of supporting a public school sys-
tem. This is perhaps a novel proposi
tion, but we are prepared to adduce rea
sons in favor of the step. We only now
! offer, as a single reason, that it will com
j plete the removal of the property from
i the hands of the State authorities and
j lodge it, where it ought to be, in the
! hands of those to whose benefit it
i should enure. No complaint can then
i be uttered that one section is more ben
efitted than another, that one class de
rives a greater advantage than another,
or that mercenary men control it for
selfish purposes. Os the mode of divi.
sion—of the manner of application to
educational purposes, &c., we shall
hereafter give our views in full. *
Refreshing Harmony.
The Constitutionalist of yesterday morn
ing,publishes extracts showing that all
the leading democrats of Indiana and Illi
nois repudiate the clause of the English
bill, which provides that if Kansas re
jected Lecompton, with the land bribe,
i she should not come into the Union un
| til she had 93,400 inhabitants ; and
the Editor adds :
! 14 Thus it will be seen, that the De
mocracy of Illinois, with Douglas at
their head, occupy the same position
upon the English bill, which is occu
pied by the Democratic party in Indiana
and every other free State." That pa
per asks—" Is it right for the Sonthern
Democracy to denounce and repudiate
Douglas, while they sustain Democrat
ic nominees throughout the Northern
States who occupy the same position ?”
As this is a general question, we assume
the privilege of answering it as a South
ern citizen. We cannot see how any
Southern Democrat or Southern Ameri
can, can have the least sympathy or ap
proval for the whole pack of hypocriti
cal political gamblers, who held up that
very clause of the English bill, as offer
ing the South a still further chance
to'coJonize Kansas before she should
attain the requisite number to be
admitted, if she refused to accept
the English terms of admission, and
who now refuse to abide by that provi
sion.
It is passing strange that the confi
ding South should be duped into the
I belief that auy possible good can come
i of affiliating with a set of men so utter
l ly hostile to the South, and so faithless
! to of conciliation.
! For our part, we would prefer to let
them show their hand, at once, that we j
may know the worst, and be ready to :
meet it.
As a further illustration of the princi
ples of this man Douglas,— whom we
have ever held in distrust—we present
the following from his late -speech at
Freeport :
It matters not in what way the Su
preme Court may hereafter decide as to
the abstract question, whether slavery
may or may not go into a territory under
the constitution, the people have the law
ful means to introduce it or exclude it,as
they please, for the reason that slavery
■ cannot exist a day or an hour anywhere
unless it is supported by local police
regulations. Those police regulations
can only be established by the local leg
islature ; and if the people are opposed
to slavery,they will elect representatives
to that body who will,by their unfriend
; ly legislation, effectually prevent the
; introduction of it into their midst.
’ Is not this the most hold-faced squat
ter sovereignty 't not endorse
the principle t l /d a John Chinama a
’ Hindo, and *n Italian Organ-grinder
may occup l- 0 territory with two slave*
! holders, and exclude slavery from the
ter tori, by virtue of their majority ?
We vould like to know if this is also
ur.’doctrine of the Democracy if Indi
ana and Illinois—and if it is, we cannot
repress our solicitude to know if the ed
itor of the Constitutionalist holds it “wick
edly foolish ” to denounce it.
For our part, we have been simple
enough to believe that the Died Scott
decision laid down a somewhat differ
ent principle, and one much safer for
the South, and which we believe em
braces the policy of Mr. Buchanan.—
j Here is an extract from the ,Dred Scott
Decision :
"If the constitution recognizes the
right of property of the master in a
slave,and makes no distinction between
that description of property and other
property owned by a citizen, no tribu
nal, acting under the authority of the
United States, whether legislative, exe
cutive, or judicial, has aright to’draw
| such a distinction, or deny to it the
j benefit of the provisions and guarantees
i which have been provided for the pro
tection of private property against the
I encroachment of the government."
j Now we would like to know how a
supporter of the Administration, and a
j believer in the Died Scott Decision can
sustain or sympathise with Douglas.
Since the above was in type, the Con
stitulionalist of this morning lias come to
hand, containing extracts showing tint
James L. Obr of South Carolina, and It
Sam A, Smith of Tennessee, took pre- |
cisely the ground now assumed b*
Judge Douglas in the last Congress. j n
reference to the rights of the pc‘,pj e c f
the territories to exclude slavpry under
j the Kansas Nebraska Act. r phis was
the chief point at issue in t> je i a t e Pres
idential campagin. Th'j party of Mr.
Douglas, and Orr, and, s MIXHi u nd the
Constitutionalist, mßi’utaiuing that this
right existed only when the people come to
form a Constitution. Now the Constitution
alist saysthixt Mr. Douglas, in his late
speeches, is asserting a simple and ncon
trovertible proposition, when he says that
slavery may be excluded from a territo
ry simply by making no territoral laws
to protect it! This appears to us to con
cede all that the Black Republicans
claim—viz : that slavery is local not na
tional ; and we wait patiently to see if
there is any party or set of people South
to endorse a doctrine so absurd and dan
gerous.
The Union Sf American, the leading or
gan of the Democratic party in Tennes
see, says “that the declaration of Mr.
Douglas is so complete an abandonment
of the only construction of the consti
tution which can give us any security
for our rights, as to render the result
in Indiana almost a matter of indiffer
ence.” That paper further states, in
commenting on this position of Mr.
Douglas, that “ the man who maintains
that ‘the people of a territory may,by
lawful means exclude slavery before it
becomes a State,’ is untrue to the Dem
ocratic party and to the Constitution.”
The Christian Spiritualist.
This is the title of the first number of
a bi-monthly, issued in Macon, by L. F.
Andrews, editor of the Citizen. It is
neatly gotten up and filled with mar
velous reading, just such for the life of
us we have no confidence in. The terms
are for one copy per annum, cash, $1 50;
four copies $5 ; ten copies sl2; twenty
copies S2O. We see by a table publish
ed in this number that there are com
puted to be in America 1,037,500 spirit
ualists— a larger number of demented
folks than we thought the intelligence
of this country could support, but we
are glad to see that only about 60,000
out of the number is put down to the
slave or Southern States, and we hope
to see these diminish until they grow
beautifully less. Spiritualism, like
Abolitionism, and all the other isms of
the day, including Freeeoilism and Fou
reri6m, is an institution of the North
and West—the soil there is congenial'
to its growth—there let it remain and]
flourish, we wish to have nothing to do
with any of them, as it is as much as
those living in border States can do,
to prevent these Northern fanatics from
spiriting away their slaves to be taken
to Canada and starved to death. But
even supposing there is some worth in
Spiritualism—what good lias it ever
done?

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
St. Mark’s, Fla, Sept. 30, 1858.
I arrived here yesterday from Jack
sonville, after much delay on the road,
- incident to the severe gale experienced
jjlastv ek. The district which felt it
" St everely was near the Suw. i«e
jßlve J crossed ot fWuruus, uiiu ine.
appearance of the forest was like a field i
clearing—trees were lying in every di
rection, some blown up root and all,
others more broken off, and some twis
ted as though by a whirlwind. It was
almost impossible to get along with our
carriage in many places, frequently go
ing a five-fold distance. From observa
tion, I found the vortex of the gale was
apparently about eight miles from Co
lumbus, on the west of the Suwanoe, as
within two miles trees were falling with
their tops pointing from Northwest to
Southwest, It may have been, how
ever, that it was a pivot upon which
the wind wheeled, and the trees point
ing to the Southeast were blown down
in the latter part of tile hurricane.
The cotton crop has not suffered so
much generally as I supposed it must
have done. Many planters have not
been materially injured ; others have
lost two thirds of their crop. The
greatest injury to the crops, and especi
ally to the corn, has resulted from the
continued raiu previous to the gale.
Burton Bellamy, near Monticeilo, had
eleven mules and three elegant carriage
horses killed by the falling of a stable
during the gale.
Wo feel anxious to hear from Key
West. The steamer due jfrom there
yesterday for New Orleans lias not yet
arrived, nor has the steamer from New
Orleans for Key West yet come. Bhe
was due yesterday also. The delay is
probably owing to theJCalhoun having
got aground off this bar, and being be

&T T he lirv-at Probleiu
Solved !--DR. MOUSE’S INVIGORATING Colt-!
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach j
has lost the power of duly converting food into a j
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
tiuid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude j
nutriment, which was a load and a' burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was j
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the j
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the j
acute, physical agony ol Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux j
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter-,
rors, wakened by periodical tits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
tenible lassitude which proceeds from a lack ol
nor’ ■ us energy, or experiencing any other pain
rr ! sability arising from the unnatural condition
’ wonderful machinery which connects ev
■ y Dumber with the soiree of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derive# immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, vldcb at once calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Fcmalos who have tried it are'i-oanimo m
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon i
woman has ever received from the hat’ds of
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, .m- j
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite j
While it renews the strength of the digestive,
j 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.
! Iflong life and the vigor necessary to its en
j 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 j
bility or from the weakness of a single
willall find immediateand permanent rel:<f from j
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 m ilady. There are many
i perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
| tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
jof medicine. Let not even those despair. The
I Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re-;
| .'erence to the causes, and will not only remove;
j the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- j
stitution .... .

Seth W. Fowle —Sir : You are at liberty to use [
the following statement for the benefit ol the as- j
fiicted:
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint, |
which apparently brought me to the brink ol j
the grave. During my sickness I was attended
by three physicians in our place, but received
no help. I also tried the various remedies re
commended for such complaints, but they af
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
persuaded to try Wistar's Balsam 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 Perris.
The above certificate was given in the pre
sence of Dr. A. Strong, ol Honesdale, who is well j

SOAP.
i Is made fi om a German process, and, as be
lieved, not known to anv other Manufacturer in
1 the United States, and is offered to the public as
! possessing tbe following advantages over other
Washing Soaps :
Ist. It may be used equally well with hard or
j soft water.
2d. It requires but half the quantity required
of other soap to accomplish the same object.
3d. Clothes need h<> boiling, and but little
rubbing (most articles none), thus avoiding
tlielr wear on a washboard.
4th. Ii requires less than one-half the time
and lab.ir to do the washing of a family that it
requins with tbe best family soap; does not
ipjurc the fabric, and tends to set the colors.
sth. For cleaning Paints, removing Grease,
Tar, and Printer’s Ink. it is invaluable.
I am willing it should rest upon its own mer
its, confident it will sustain itself in competi
tion with any other Soap.
Put up in one pound bars ; sixty bars'in each
