AUGUSTA. GA:
Tuesday Evening, October U#, 1858.
Aid to Denominational Colleges.
It would be unreasonable as vain, to
expect from the friends of Mercer,
Oglethorpb and Emory, co-operation in
a scheme for public instructions, if the
claims of their favorite institution were
to be overlooked. The Presbyterians,
Baptists and Methodists constitute a
large proportion of our population.—
Ibeir favor or condemnation will de
termine the fate of any project which
proposes the establishment of a public
school system. Policy, therefore, as well
as Justice, requires that as much should
be done by the State for these Colleges,
which these churches have reared to
Success, aB for any other institutions of
tqual merit. We think that in propos
ing one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars as a donation to each of the
above Colleges, we have suggested an
amount which corresponds to the six
hundred thousand named for the State
University ; because, it must be borne
In mind, that we contemplate, as a part
*f otlr scheme, the right of each coun
tj to have, at least, one representative
Constantly in the Academic department
at Athens. We propose no such condi
tion for these sectarian colleges. Again,
the support of the schools of Science
womld require the expenditure of a large
portion of the annual income of the
University fund. We do not conceive
it possible that the establishment of
Scientific schools in the University can
be looked upon, in any other light, than
ta a benefit to all the other Colleges
equally with Franklin, provided all are
admitted to the privileges of these
Schools on an equal footing—a thing to be
provided for in the organization of the
University.
But while we are anxious that a libe
ral policy should be pursued towards the
Sectarian institutions, we are unwilling
that the donations should be uncondi
tional. We would impose terms and
provisions upon the recipients of the
endowments; such as would insure a
faithful regard to the interests of our
people, protecting the common weal
against the tendencies of private and
Selfish desire.
“ Deliver us from temptation,’’ is a
prayer which comprehends the substance
of all prayer. Legislation is valuable
in proportion as it removes the incen
tives to evil. We will make an appli
cation to the case before U 9. In all, or
nearly all the Colleges of this State,
the salaries of the professors are con
tingent, in whole or in part, upon the
tuition fees of the students. The more
Students, tho larger proportion of his
nominal salary will each instructor re
ceive. In other words, the instructors
Ut paid in proportion to the number
of pupils. Thus, then, is a temptation
held out to the members of the Facul
ties, to admit every applicant, regard
-I«bs of his qualifications. In this way
the Colleges of the State become rivals
Os each other, not as should he the case upon
At merits of their instruction, but upon the
lumber of pupils. When one institu
tion lowers its standard for admission
1 notch, the others must lower also,
•? suffer an immediate loss in tho pro
fessional pocket. We would fain be
lieve that professors have struggled
■gainst this temptation. Yet we fear
that in too many instances, the strug
gle has been vain. We say this in no
Spirit of severity, for we know that
Professors are human, and we would
sot be so unfair as to expect them to
resist a motive which would influence
men in other positions. It is hard for
them to lose any portion of wages,
which are meagre at best. We will not
Say that we blame them, but wo will
say that we blame a public who expect
more honesty in a poorly paid teacher,
than would he looked for in any other
man. But it is not alone in the matter
of admission that this temptation does
its work. It has a miserably unhealthy
influence upon the discipline of our Col
leges. If Faculties can be operated on
by pecuniary considerations in the ad
mission of pupils, they are not less
likely to be influenced by like causes in
governing their students. It is but nat
ural that they should hesitate to use
proper severity in the punishment of
Offenders, when they feel that they may
drive off a pupil—perhaps incur the
displeasure of an influential family—
and by so doing, not only decrease
their income presently, but prospec- '
lively.
It is to enable the Trustee to place
the institution above such influences, to '
render him an independent man, sub
ject only to his honor, that we advocate
the substantial endowment of Mrrcer,
Oglethorpe, and Emory. We would
say to each College officer: you arc paid,
sir, to do your duty, to raise and main
tain the reputation of this College. You
can best effect that object by showing
yourself an able scholar and an impar
tial and fearless officer. You shall be
amply paid whether there be one student
OT five hundred in the institution.
One hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars m addition to what they already
possess, will support an able academic
faculty in each College, independent of
their tuition fees. To this donation
then we would have the Legislature an
nex thiscondition. That the total amount
of yearly salaries paid to the Faculty ]
« should never exceed the income from 1
the funded property of the College; that 1
only the tuition money and such pro
perty as the institution might acquire
subsequent to this donation, should be
used for other purposes than the pay
ment of salaries; but that the tuition
1 fees might be invested in a permanent
fund, whose income might be devoted
to the support of the Faculty.
With this endowment, and with this
condition, Piofessors would be freed,
alike, from the fear of loss and from the
hope of gain ; considerations of repu
tation and of honor would then, without
let or hindrance, urge them to the
faithful performance of duty.
| Teachers of Academies and High
| Schools throughout the State, now ex
perience difficulties growing u*t of t e
1 differences in the course of preparatory
1 and collegiate study presented by the
* four Colleges of the State. The same
school may contain pupils preparing
' for admission to different institutions—
* therefore, obliged to use different text
e books, as well as to pursue diflerent
i studies. This introduces confusion in
i the school and augments the labors of
; the teacher. We shall be readily un
* derstood by teachers. To remedy this
; evil, we would add a further condition:
, t at the denominational colleges shall
, enter into to a convention with each
other and with Franklin College, by
which a regular course of study shall
be agreed upon both as preparatory and
, as collegiate. Each Faculty ought to
, be allowed a certain limit of variation
in their own teaching, but should re
ceive any applicant who might present
. himself properly prepared upon the reg
ular course,
i
This would give relief to the public
( schools of the State, while graduation
, in any of the four colleges would render
, all equally fitted to pursue a further
, course in the departments of the Uni
, versity proper, at Athens. We can con
ceive of no possible objection which
could be urged to this condition. The
s organization and composition of the
, body who should establish the terms of
the convention should he prescribed by j
the donating law.
Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.
Letters from Memphlg—\o 1.
Memphis, Oct. 14th, 1858.
The “Bluff City”—lts Location See—Forts —
Railroads—Crime—Amusements.
None of the towns along the borders
, of the “father of waters," between St.
' Louis and New Orleans, exhibit such
: evidences of thrift and progress, as are
■ observable in the “Bluff City.” Scarce
- ly a quarter of a century ago, Memphis
was one of the small villages of Ten
nessee ; now it has a population of
about 20,000, and the increase of its
i business interests is really astonishing.
' Its location is auspicious for this rapid
■ growth, as well from the fine resources
i,f tho country tributary to its trade, as
i from its distance and security from any
important rival. It occupies the only
eligible site for a commercial emporium
between the mouth of the Ohio and
Vicksburg, and distant 348 miles
from the latter place. It is 750 miles
i from New Orleans, and 420 from St.
i Louis. It is 209 miles from Nashville,
i the capital of our State. Memphis was
laid out in 1819, Gen. Jackson, Gen.
Winchester, and John Overton having
abtained the charter. The site of the
city,—a beautiful bluff 47 feet above
the river—was a favorite resort of
the Chickasaw Indians. In 1783, Gen.
Gayoso, the Spanish Governor of Louis- ‘
iana, erected Fort St. Fernando near
where the Navy Yard now stands, which ,
was occupied by the Spaniards until ,
1803, when the province was purchased
from France, during the administration i
•f Mr. Jefferson. Fort Pickering was '
built, and constituted one of the long
line of ports along our frontier. It has 1
passed away, and its site is a favorite
6uburbon retreat.
In a future letter I may allude to the -
important railroad connections and oth- i
er enterprises that go to swell the ad
vantages of this city as a business em
porium.
I observe that Messrs. Sam Tate, E.
C. Brinckley, Wm. Dickson, W. B. Wal
dram, E. W. Munford, W. J. Wicks,
John Overston and Bcthell have
bought the city of Memphis stock of
$500,000 in the Memphis & Charleston
Eailroad. They are to pay the annual
interest on the city bonds of that i
amount ($30,000 per annum) for four :
years ; they are then to retire $30,000 1
of the bonds per annum until the
$500,000 is retired,and to pay the inter- 1
est each year upon the bonds that are
out.
These gentlemen now own almost a i
controlling interest in the road. I have
no doubt some of your neighboring j
cities would he very willing to dispose
of their stock in the same road, though
it is likely to pay handsome dividends.
Memphis is—l must confess—entitled
to her notoriety as a wicked, as well as j
fast city. It is true she has 14 Churches ,
in charge of an earnest and devoted 1
ministry—but she has twice th it num- f
ber of gilded temples of iniquity— to 1
say nothing of the purlieus, where '
shameless vice festers in lawless depra
vity. The worst, if not the latest hor
rible tragedy noticed by our vigilent
local press is the case of an infant,
found buried on a deserted premises
just out of town. Two weeks ago a
carriage was seen to 6topat this house
- late at night, when fashionably attired
people alighted and went stealthily in!
bearing a female invalid in their arms.
The discovery of the infant buried in
the yard only adds to the mystery,
while it points to a case of infanticide
in our better circles, and to a stain of
social depravity darker than any in the
long catalogue of Memphis iniquity.
The criminal Court opened its session
on Monday. There was 950 cases on
: the docket, of which all save 150 were
new.
John Drew is playing at the “Gaiety,”
’ and “ Buckley’s Serenades ” of New
• Tork, are at “ Ashes.”
The “Campbell Minstrels” have just
played a long and popular season here;
and we have also had “ Mabie’s Circus”
and the “Great Austrian Bear.” In
addition to these divertisements, we
have a live lecturer on spiritualism in
, town, in the person of Thos. Gales Fos
ter, for some time an editor in the West
So with all these novelties, we are in a
fair wav to be “ amuthed.”
Yours, MEMPHIS.

Important Information —A Chance
toe Pirsons Desihocs of Emigrating to
Nicaragua. —On the 10th day of No
vember next, says the New Orleans
Delta, a vessel will leave Mobile for San
Juan del Norte, and will take any pas
sengers and freight that may offer
for Nicaragua. Those who desire to
emigrate to Central America are advised
to give notice to that effect as soon as
possible, in order that passages may be
secured for them and their companions;
and they are also informed that it would
be judicious to arrive at Mobile three
or four days previous to the day of de
parture. This information is derived
from undoubted and reliable authority.
We are indebted to our exchanges at
Savannah, Augusta and other places, for
their appreciation of our abstract of the
late interesting news from Mexico, as
reported by the Isabel. As many of the [
important details appeared only in the!
Courier, it would have been proper to I
make some acknwledgment—enough at
least to NGnform inland renders where
. the Isabel arrived.
j The above we take from the Charles
| ton Courier of yesterday. It is intended
for some of our contemporaries, which,
we know not, but we notice it merely
to say was, that so far as the Dispatch is
concerned all the Mexican news pub
lished by us are received by telegraph.
The Charleston Orphan House.
We see by the Charleston Courier, that j
the sixty-ninth anniversary of this no- j
ble institution was to have been cele-:
brated on Monday, but in consequence
of the prevailing sickness in that city,
the commissioners have concluded to
. dispense with the time honored ceremo
nies and demonstrations. This institu- i
tion was commenced with a half dozen
children, and a private house was first
consecrated to this charitable purpose.
The projector and warm advocate of
this institution, was John Bobertsox,
Esq., who has erected for himself an
imperishable monument. The orphan
house of Charleston is now one of the
largest and handsomest buildings in
thatcity,and the inmate6at the present
time number 333 children, 207 boys and
126 girls. Attached to it is one of the
best schools in that city, at which there
is an average attendance of 262 chil
dren. It also has a fine chapel, in
which the clergy of that city rotate,
and divine service is held every Sunday
afternoon It is a beautiful and pleas
ing sight to see these little ones, all
neatly clad and well cared for, as the [
the Sabbath comes lound take their i
places in the gallery on raised seats,
the girls on side and the boys on the
other, and listen to the melodious and
well cultivated voices raised in nnision, j
singing hozannahs to the Most High.
The chapel is generally well filled I
with citizens who attend to listen to |'
the 6weet strains of musical voices, as
well as the sermon. In the school, ■
there is a principal teacher, six assis
tants, and a music teacher, all females. '
The Asylum is under the charge of a 1
steward and matron. 1

The Merchant Fleet
The Savannah News of 19th inst.says: (
The strong North Eastertly and Easter
ly winds which have prevailed for the
past three or four days, has brought !
quite a fleet of vessels into our port.—
During the last three days the arrivals !
in port have been 2 steamships 9 ships,
2 barks, 1 brig and 4 schooners. The :
nine large class ships, we understand '
are all under charter and will take car
goes of cotton, which,|with the cargoes
of other vessels now here, will greatly
reduce the large stock of cotton which
accumulated in our port for shipment
to Europe and the Northern markets.
As a large number of vessels are now
on there way to this port for cotton :
freights, we may anticipate a lively time
in the cotton business for a month or so
to come.

Diplomatic.
Beports were current at Washington,
(says the Charleston News) that Messrs.
Mason and Dallas were about to resign
the missions they respectively fill, in
order to release the President from em
barrassment in the appointment of their
successors. Subsequently it was stated
that there was no intention on the part
of these ministers to resign. It would
be much to be regretted that in compli
ance with an arbitrary and unwise prin
ple, that of rotation in office,two of our
principal missions in Europe should be
vacated, after the actual incumbents
have acquireu that experience and famil
iarity with the political state of Europe,
which are so essential to the efficient
. performance of diplomatic duties.

(ITT he Great Problem
Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
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 sufleror, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomos, 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 vaguo ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened w ith
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack ol
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition
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 thatJ
woman has ever received from the bauds of
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 Pharmacopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed ot
precious worth
Its beneficial effects arejiot 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
willall 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-l
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*
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- j
stitution

i- word lor it, you will receive benefit; for there
seems to be some wonderful healing virtues in
, this medicine to acquire such an extended repu

that it was fully tried by a largely practicing j
( physician for twenty years before it was offered
to the public, so that its effects were fully known,
e and now it is recommended only for such dis
’ eases as it has cured.
These diseases are Liver Complaints, or their

1 —Honesdale Co., I’enn., Jan. 10, 1850 —Mr.
Seth W. Fowle—Sir : You are at liberty to use
’ the following statement for the benefit ol the as
-5 flicted :
• I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
J which apparently brought me to the brink ol
! the grave. During my sickness I was attended
; by three physicians in our place, but received
no help. I also tried the various remedies rc
-5 commended fur such complaints, but they as
• forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
persuaded to try Hoar’s Balsam of Wild
J Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored
1 to better health than 1 have enjoyed before for
1 ten years. This statement may be reliod upon
1 as strictly true. Betsey Perrin.
The above certificate was given in the pro
seuce of Dr. A. Strong, ol Honesdale, who is well
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.

tf# Weakness of the Stomach and
i Indigestion.— Another Great Cure effected by
I Bcerhave's Holland Bitters. —The wife of Pieter
| De Witte, living in Holland Town, Sheboygan
county, Wisconsin, suffered much from Weak
ness of the Stomach and Indigestion. She had
been under a physicians’ care for some time, but
the disease seemed to bailie even his skill. She
purchased some HOLLAND BITTERS at our of
| flee, which has given tone to her stomach ; her
J appetite and strength are returning, and we
flrmly believe that this is another great cure es- (
fected by your medicine.
We have still to record many wonderful cures
effected by this remedy, but must wait another
opportunity. One thing you can rely upon, what
we have published are from persons much re-
spected in our community, and are literally true. j

way*, is ruining the Hair Dye trade. People i
J will not use dyes when a natural restoration to 1
the original color of the hair can be produced by i
natural remedies. Dyes are artifleial agents,
and daugerous in their application, but WOOD’S 1
ILUR TONIC is a healthy stimulant. and causes j
1 a healthy growth. A growth of gray hair on a .
! young persou’s head is unnatural, and to apply .
; a coloring fluid produces an unnatural result;
I the color is changed, to be sure, but not through j ‘
, the roots of the hair. ladies, do you see that j
j geranium plant in the window yonder? how yel- j :
| low and faded it looks ? It is alive and growing; j
yet where is the beautiful, rich, dark green that j
belongs to it? Gone. You can color those leaves i (
by an external application of chemicals, but | 1
they will uot remain colored. Do you desire to j i
do it naturally ? Make a solution of guano water, |
apply it to the roots, and the plant will take it j (
I up into the system, and then you will see a rich i
I green, permanent hue. Professor Wood’s Hair j
L Tonic works on the same principle. The roots!
, of the hair drink up that application, and high j
j health and beauty result.
CArnoN.—Beware of worthless imitations, as
several are already in the market, called by dis- 1
, ferent names. Use none unless the words (Pro
> fessor Wood’s Hair Restorative, Depot St Louis,
| Mo., and New York), are blown in the bottle.
