g Proprietor of the Dispatch expect s <
tj spend the session in Milledgeville, and j
will report the daUy proceedings of both
Houses in time to appear in our paper f
on the day following. This will enable .
us to present the very latest intelligence
from the seat of Government, and to
give not only an account of the regular
proceedings, but an impartial review of
the outside current of popular feeling,
and metropolitan gossip. We confi
dently expect a large accession to oui
subscription list, to repay us for the ad
ditional expense of keeping an editor
at the capitol. •
In addition to the proceedings of the
Legislature the Dispatch will contain the
latest intelligence from all quarters of

A "Live Spiritualist After Is.
That pink of editorial courtesy and
Christian propriety—Rev. L. 1- M ■
Akbrbws of the Christian Spirituaut—bet
ter known as the editor of the Georgia Cit
iun, is down on us like a small brick
kiln on account of our late condemna
tory notice of his spiritual organ.
After indulging a very low-flung, con
temptible and characteristic allusion to
theeditor of the Dispatch, as a Northern
man. he publishes our notice of his new
paper, as follows :
.< Wo see by a table published in this
number, that there are computed to be ;
in America 1,037,500 Spiritualists—a 1
larger number of demented folks than we
thought the intelligence of this coun
try could support, but we are glad that
only about 60,000 out of the number is
put down to the slave or Southern
States, and we hope to see these dimin
ish until they grow beautifully less.--
Spiritualism, like Abolitionism, and all
other isms of the day, including ITcc
sofiism and Fourierism, 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 ini'
nothing to do with any of them, ns t-'
is as much as those living in hi ;
States can do, to prevent these fa i iticv
from spiriting away their elans i be
taken to Canada and starved to dial u
But eveu supposing there is some truth
. in Spiritualism—what good has it cvei
done f”
He then goes on to state :
The “ Dispatch” has thus taken the ,
unwarrantable liberty of charging upon
Spiritualism that it is identical with that
Northern Abolitionism which spirits awaj ,
the slaves of the border States to Can-
a j ; . By a fair inference, aud one
which he plainly desires to impress upon |
his readers, Southern Spiritualists are
Abolitionists in sentiment and fanatics in
opinion, therefore they must not be per
mitted to dwell in the South! This is the
gist of the above paragraph, if there is
any meaning at all in it.
Yet., some of the subscribers to the
“Dispatch” in this place are Spiritual
ists—the class denounced by this would
be immaculate guardian of Southern
rights !
We charged no such thing, aud no
body hut one “demented” or deter :
mined blindly, willfully and malicious- ,
ly to misrepresent us, would so construe
it. We merely intimated —and our
meaning is patent —that the new-fan
gled “ologies” and “isms” are indigen
ous to the North and West, while they
are exotics, South. If oiir readers in
Macon or the people of the South choose
to investigate the mysteries of spiritu
alism, it is none of our business, and
certainly uo one has a right to disturb
them. We trust society will sustain no
injury by it.
But u-c believe, and wo certainly have
the right to express it, that it is a prof
itless and dangerous field of specula
tion ; one in which few minds can en
gage without injury. We do not be
lieve that God intended for his creatures
in this world to know anything about
the condition of those who have gone
before them, to the spirit land; and
we do not believe, that—granting it
were possible—well-ordered and wor
thy spirits would stoop from the celes
tial sphere to indulge in the fantastic
tricks of table-turning and other mum
mery of the spiritual philosophy, as 1
exhibited in their “circles,” and pub
lished narratives. We greatly fear,
from the temper exhibited by the Doc
tor toward the verdant souls who have
never been favored with celestial visi
tations, that even lie has stumbled into
companionship with “unclean spirits”
and been defiled of them.
But he proceods:
We feel that our self-respect will not
permit us to answer the insinuations of
the “ Dispatch,” as they deserve, and
will dismiss him to the scorn of those
whom he has so wantonly assailed.
If his self-respect caused him to su :
•pend his misrepresentations of us, we are
c arious to know to what extent lie w ould
have gone without that restraining in
fluence. We thank him for confiding
our doom to the hands of his aggrieved
brethren. We will endeavor to endure
any company but his, provided he does
not turn us over to his spiritual confre
res.
Here is his conclusion :
‘ 1 Beware Simeon, how you scatter
your venom.”
Thou needst not fear our venom, — I
“Frederick Leonidas William,” foi l
thou hast enough for a half-dozen re
spectacle devils already.
Having disposed of the spiritual man
ifesto seriatim, we shall be content to lei
the “soft impeachment” in reference to
cur birth-place, go by default. It b
not our fault that we were not horn in
Coorgia, any more, perhaps, than it is
that of our spiritual chevalier that he
4M&e into the world somewhat defici
«*t in many of those qualities that
Akvate and adorn human nature.
The writer of the article that call- .
ed out his ire lias been for twenty-
five years connected with the Geoigia |
press, aud has never been threatened ,
by a mob on account of supposed free
6oilism, and is not conscious of having
rendered himself obnoxious to any
community in which he ever lived,
either from a want of correct Southern
sentiments, or any of the qualities that
constitute respectable citizenship.
If we have been personal, Doctor, re
member that you cast the first stone.
We are done with the whole matter.

Me. S. A. Atkinson —Dear Sir: —All
our merchants who are subscribers to
the Dispatch depend entirely upon you
for Cotton news, as you are generally 24
hours ahead of any other paper, when
ever we can got the paper regularly—
but we often get two or three papers at
once, and sometimes no paper—aud of- ’
ten it comes up from the South four or j
five days old.
There must be a screw loose some
where above here, and if you were to
blow up the Post Masters on the route,
probably they would do better.
I have no doubt but that onr mail is
sent by Thomasville from Albany very
often—the reason it comes up from the

Hoping you may effect some change

I While the demands upon the Treasu-j
i ry fortlie fiscal year, 1858. is $77,383 78,
| more than were the demands upon the •
Treasury during tlie fiscal year 1857.
I still the receipts into the Treasury (not
I including tlie proceeds from the sale of;
j State Bonds) from all sources, except
| the Western & Atlantic Railroad have
| been $22,037 60 less than they were in
11857. The reason for this is : Ist, mostl
lof the old tax claims that were worth
;anything, were collected last year; and,,
j 2udly, there was received in 1858, sll,-
j 332 ’6B, less from the general_ tax of
1 1857, than was received in 1857 from
j the general tax of 1856. The increasal
'! receipts from the Western and Atlantic
: Railroad being tills year $91,500 more
J than that of last year. The payment
j into the Treasury iu 1857 from the road
; being SIOB,OOO.
| It will therefore be seen that, but for
i the monthly incomes into the State
j Treasury this year, from the net earn
| ings of the Western and Atlantic Rail
: road, the State could not have met the
| ordinary expenses of government, re
' duced the public debt, and paid tlie in
: icrest on the same as it became due,
; and met the large appropriations of the
last Legislature to the Lunatic Asylum,
I Academy for the Blind, Medical Colle-
Iges, &c., &c., as they have been called
; for, without temporarily borrowing
[ money for this purpose. As it is, all
demands have promptly met, and there
lis an abundant surplus—and with the
taxes for 1858 now coining iu, and with
| further anticipated receipts from the j
j railroad, this surplus will continue to]
j increase from day to day.
] There is still due to the Atlantic and
| Gulf Railroad company the smn of
| $400,000; (and the State is bound for a
] further subscription of $500,000, when
: the private stockholders raise an addi
tional $600,000 ;) but the Act making
) the State’s subscription to this work,
j provided also for the issue of State six
j per cent, bonds, payable at tlie ex pirn
; tion of twenty years, iu the event of
j there not being money iu the Treasury
jto meet the installments as they are
| called for ; consequently, this subscrip
j tion bus been charged to the Treasury
| only as the bonds have been issued and
| sold to the company.
, Having thus dwelt upon and exhibi
ted the operations of our State govern
, ment, financially, for the past twelve
I months I will now turn with greater
. pleasure to the future ensuing fiscal
) year, as it exhibits the financial’ affairs
, of Geoigia in a still more flourishing
, and flattering condition,
i With almost nominal State tax, ti
• being but three fourths of a million the dol
;! tar, or seventy fire cents on the one thousand
| dollars, on all property in Georgia—ex
; j cept bank and railroad capital—we shall j
, i taise for the ensuing fiscal year at least
| $375,000. Juding from the past eight
■ j months, and if the Superintendent of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad be
; j not greatly mistaken, said road will pay
. into the State treasury, as net earnings,:
jat least $300,000 annually. Add to]
f I this the bank tax of $81,120 11 ; the
. j dividends from bank stock. $29,575 00:,
, [ the tax on railroads $6,204 94 ; and
i, from miscellaneous items, $5,775 88,'
r | and we will have an income of $747,675
f \ 88. While on the other hand, it is not
!at all probable that the extraordinary
i appropriations for 1859, will be as large!
lj as they were this year by $150,000.
- The Lunatic Asylum, Academy for the ;
i Blind, Georgia Military Institute, and 1
i Medical Colleges of Savannah and At
> lanta, having beeij provided for, to a
r liberal extent, it is not supposed that
s ranch more, if any, will be asked for to
! complete their buildings, &c., &c. This
being the case, it will be seen that
there will he a large surplus at the en>!
of the year, t-> be applied to l;:e K'fiv.:-
tioa of‘the Public l-übt, to Education,
jor to any other purpose the represen
tatives of the people may think proper. ,
Assuming, then, that the ordinary ■
receipt", into tie Troasuiy fur the tic al
year, i ■'•jit. " ill he as follows, viz:
From General Tax, $375,000 00
| Net earnings of tire W. & j
1 A. Railroad, 000,000 00 •

; Miscellaneous items, 5,775 68
j Balance after paying Ap

1 Milledgeville, 150 00
: For extraordinary appro
j pviations, say, 50,000 00’
Total, $548,575 00;
It will thus be seen that after meet
ing the ordinary demands upon
treasury, and reducing the public debt;
j $45,000, and allowing $50,000 for mis :
cellaneous or extraordinary appropria-
I tions, there will still be a surplus ofi
' $219,325 10 to apply to a further re
duction of the Public Debt, to educa
tion, or to any other pprposu the nexti
legislature may direct.
Except the bonds issued, (bearing 7
per cent.) to pay the liabilities of the:
1 Central Bank, amounting in all now to;
■ $241,000, and which are annually fall-;
: ing due in comparatively small sums,
; there will be no State bonds <hie sooner :
' than 1862. There are, however, $289,- j
' 500 of State bonds issued in 1848. for :
the benefit of the railroad, and not due
i until 1863 and 1868, but the State in ( ,
issuing them having reserved to itself ,
; the right to redeem them and stop intered ;
' at any time after ten years, these bonds'
.'can now be redeemed at any time the.
.State choses to do so. There are also j,
| $200,000 7 per cent, bonds issued in
1852, to pay for railroad iron $ 100,000 ;
are due in ISG2, and the State also re- j
! served to its'df the right to redeem the
8200.000 in 1862, if it desired to do so.
77,/- I’uUir Debt.
So far as I can discover from the!
Treasurer’s report and, the various Acts:
of the Legislature, the Public Debt, in
bonds, now amounts to $2,631,500, i
which will be increased to $3,530,500,
(uulessbefore reduced) when the remain-; ‘

: Note.—With the Flight glance I have been
able to give the la tv.* Tax Acts, within my rt*acl),
of several Southern States, I And, that in South !
Carolina, upon lands in cities, towns, villages, I
boroughs, xc, the tax is I‘2>4 cents on tbesloo,; *
and upon other lands it is 6u cents on the SIOO, j <
and laves pay 70 cents per head. In Keutuc-! (
ky, real and personal estate is taxed at 17 cents
on the SIOO. lu Texas. 12>£ cents on the jl .u, t 1
In Mississippi, 10 cents on tue SIOO on land, 20 j
cents ou ruouey, &c.. and 40 cents on each
slave. In Arkansas, 16~„ cents on the SIOO. — j
In Florida, 10 ‘ cents oa the SIOO. In Virginia,!
1 40 cents on the SIOO, oa real and personal e-- .
ute, and $1 20 on each slave. In Alabama, 20 1
cents on the SIOO, on real estate and other I
' property, 50 cents on the SIOO, on money at in-!
lerest, and an average lax of 00 cents on each j
slave, (thosebetween 10 and 30 years of age!
■ being $1 10 each)—While iu Georgia, the tax ou !
land and slaves, and other property, (except
I Bank and Railroad capita!) is now but 7>* cents
' | on the- stoo.
! It will therefore, be seen, that while the per
cent, tax in South Carolina and Texas is near
' double of that of Georgia, the per cent of the
:! other States named are more than doubie that
; j of Georgia, and in Alabama, it is nearly three
II times larger, while iu Virginia, upon real and
I personal estate, it is more than live times lar
ger than iu Georgia.
In Ohio, the per cent. 31 cents outlie SIOO,
is four times larger, and in Illinois, the per
cent, tax, 07 cent 3 on the SIOO, is nearly nine
j :iur - more than .t is iu Georgia.

■ j course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
' | fluid re ucqv.ires its solvent power, and thecrude

1 the sufferer, vrhilelr.s digestive organ nation was

basis of activity, strength and health.
| The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the j
i acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux I
I or rrdinary headache, afflicted with vague ter-
I rc.-f, wak cd by periodical fit?, threatened with |
! paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that

| If I j’.-k Mic and the vigor necessary to its en

i Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
j sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the a.ling
. i wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn .
I man of business, the victim of nervous depres

bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find iminediateandperr mncntreli* ffrom
the u. e *of this incomparable i-u -tvator. To
1 j those who have a predisposition to paraly- :s it
will prove a complete and unfailiug safe-guard
against that terrible malady. There are m;.ny
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond thereach
of medicine. Let not even thowdespair. The
. Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, hut rebuild the broken con
