Jjimung sis|)at(jr. ; 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? Tlie State Hoad. The worthy Treasurer of the State | Road (says the Atlanta Intelligencer) in ; formed us a few days ago, that he had j ! transmitted to the Treasury at Milledge-! | villc $25,000, as the nett earnings of ! the Road for the month of September, J in all, up to this time, the handsome little sum of $175,000 w There were eighteen interments! in Montgomery, Ala., during the month of September—thirteen whites, and 1 five colored. i<r r i 'he Southern (Milledge ville) Re- \ corder, of the sth inst., says : “ A gen tleman died recently in Mississippi, we understand, who left, by will, fifteen 1 thousand dollars to the Oglethorpe Uni versity.” , --»•« 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.

MOORE, Agent. &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.

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.

AMES’ GERMAN CHEMICAL ERASIVE 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.
