AUGUSTA, GEO:
Wednesday Evening, Sot. 3,185 W.
Editorial Correspondence,
Eatonton, Ga., Nov 1, 1858.
Persons goiDg to Milledgeville, from
North eastern Georgia, find the route
from Madison to this place, by stage,
a very convenient one. Moons runs a
stage’from Madison every morning and
evening, leaving after the arrival of the
cars, and reaching Eatonton in about
five hours. There is but one train a
day on the railroad from here to Mil
ledgeville, and those who leave Madi
son in the morning, reach here to din
ner, and lay over until the next morn
ing at five o’clock. Passengers from
Milledgeville, reach here at 3 o'clock,
P. M., and leave here immediately for
Madison. The fare at the hotel here is
most excellent. Mr. Thomas certainly
deserves a wider scope for the exercise
of his skill as a landlord, and should
be at the head of some of our large “first
class” houses.
A few days ago, as two men, named
J. W. li.er and Lemuel Daly were
blasting in a well at E. Perryman's, in
Putnam county, a charge exploded and
Mr. Iler was instantly killed, and Mr.
Daly dreadfully bruised. He remain
ed insensible for several days, and can
not now remember how the accident
occurred. It issupposed they were drib
ling out an old charge. The well was
forty feet deep, and they were on the
bottom of it. Mr. Iler leaves a fami
ly in Jackson county.
As Mr. Overman, a driver of the
hack from Milledgeville to Double
Wells was walking from the stable to
his house, in Milledgeville, on Saturday
night last, he was knocked down and
robbed of ninety cents. His head was
badly cut by the blow. The highway
man had not been arrested when our
informant left, hut it is supposed that
he was not a the Legisla
ture.
Mr. Lotick WrrncH, a gentleman
widely and favorable known in Georgia
as a trader in lands, died very suddenly
of apoplexy, at his home in Oxford, on
Saturday last.
The cotton crop all along “the old
block belt,” is unusually large. A.
Aid to Common School*.
We have proposed that after endow
ing the Colleges, the balance of the
funds arising from the sale of the West
ern & Atlantic Railroad shall be divided
among the several counties of the
State.
The amount to be given to each coun
ty, ought to be proportioned to the pop
ulation thereof. It would also seem
equitable, that the amount should de
pend in part at least, upon the tax-pay
ing property, in the several counties.
We therefore, suggest that the division
ought to be in a soto, compounded of
the population and taxable properties
of the counties. This would give to
each county in the State an average of
at least S-30,000.
The law which provides for the sale of
the Road ought to contain provisions
for the disposal of the proceeds. We
have pointed out the mode in which we
hink one million and fifty thousand dollars
ought to be expended, for the aid of oui
Male Colleges. We think that the por
tions of the counties can be safely plac
ed the hands of the Inferior Courts,un
der suitable laws, which should cover
the following points :
Ist. That the monies shall be invest
ed in suitable stocks by the Inferior
Courts.
2nd. That the annual income shall be
expended each year for the support of
schools in the counties.
3d. That no distinction should be
made between the poor and the rich ;
hut that the same amount shall be paid
for the instruction of every pupil, with
in certain ages, who may attend school.
4th. That each teacher in the county
shall receive at the end of the year, an
amount for every pupil, instructed by
him or her, during the year, the sum
to be proportioned to the number oi
weeks or months of attendance.
Thus it is seen that we propose no
new system of schools,* but only that
the State shall aid the system, which
already exists. For we have, now, an
educational system ; and we think it
would be difficult to devise another bet
ter adapted to the circumstances and
wants our people. There are few, we
presume, who would endeavor to as
similate our system to that of New
England, since they would be met by
an insuperable obstacle in the different
densities of population ; an obstacle '
which will ever render impossible any
Common School system, like that of the
Northern States.
But, as we said, we have systems al i
ready in operation. Immense interests. I
corporate, private and public are in vol ved :
in this system. Whoever shall attempt i
its overturn, to make room for another I
will find himself opposed by those in
terests. Will the peculiar friends of ,
our Female Colleges throughout the
State, give their aid to any plan which
shall seem likely to diminish tbeir im
portance by invading, to ascertain ex
tent, their sphere? Will trustees of ;
numerous academies consent toinaugu I
rate any system that may conflict with i
their institutions ? Will the many (
Seen and women, who have in opera
tion private and profitable schools, en- I
courage any movement that may, in the I
end. break down the business which 1
they now look upon as their own ? I
Jealousy of any new plan would fur- e
nish the motive upon which such num i
be.’s and influences would unite in ac c
tion, as to make failure the certain fate t
pf auy scheme which looks to pull i
| down for the purpose of building
anew.
Nor have we any reason to suppose
that the new would be better than the
old. No matter how much talent might
combine in instituting a new fabric,
like everything else of human origin,
it would be found to need inprovement.
We have already made a respectable be
ginning, let us now improve what we!
, have, rather than rush anew into the;
field of experiment.
If our people will, then, act upon
| the notion of bringing nearer to perfec
, tion the educational constitution which
they now have—and it is not debatable
1 that they will never act upon any other
1 idea—they Bhould first seek, what are
the defects, which now detract from
the good results that ought to be real
ized in their present course, 'that point
settled, and the nature of the evil un
derstood, they roust then address them
’ selves to the task of finding and apply
. ing the remedy.
* We think that we can point directly
■ at the grand trouble. It is that the
6 teachers of the State of Georgia are not
* paid as liberally as the welfare of the
1 State demands that they should be.
j We have already suggested the remedy
and the mode of its application in the
, commencement of this article.
Tlie business of teaching in this State
is open to a fair competition. Eaeli j
’ may enter the field and win a success to 1
which his merit may entitle him. This
, we believe to be the only plan, conso
nant with Republicanism, on which
. any business can be conducted. If, in
the strife, improper influences are some- 1
times brought to bear by individuals, j
the evil is one which is common to all
kinds of business and is to be endured
' for the sake of greater good. It should]
' be the cave of every one, in a private
. as well as public capacity, to repress the
) evil as far as possible.
Now, is it said, that we need more
or better schools? What is that to say,
r I but that we need more or better teach
tiers? And if there be a necessity for
j more and better men in the rank of
school masters, why is it that they do
not enter? Why do not some of the
a many well educated men, who go to
y adorn the three learned proffessions,
„ choose the school room as the field of
life long labor? Is not the only an
q swer, possible to he made, that teach
ing is not so profitable as iaw, medi
cine, or theology? We think so. In
proportion to the labor to be perform
' ed, the peculiarly onerous responsibili
-6 ty, and the wear and tear of mind and
* body, teachers are not nearly as well
1 paid as ministers, doctors, or lawyers,
e A man of fair education and even mod
erate energy, cau make double the mo
ney in almost any other occupation.
1 What wonder, then, if there he many
a localities that have no schools, if there
! * he many men in the school room who
- do not understand how to perform its
1 duties ? As evidencies that inadequacy
n of compensation is the great defect in
ls our system, we may, among many other
IS circumstances, point to the fact, that
0 whenever a well paying school calls
'f for a teacher, there is no lack of appli
cation for the post; that a large rna
f jority of our teachers are young men,
6 who teach for one year or a few years,
e until they can arrange to enter upon
c some othqr more lucrative business,
'« while if there be a pursuit which re
ir quires the aid of experience, it is that
r of the instructor of childreu. We
i- might allude to the fact that not one
i- teacher in a hundred ever acquires a
r competency at the business; while the
profession is too notoriously the resort
:- of briefless lawyers, or of doctors whose
r pills have never been called for, or have
I won a bad reputation.
. I It is hut fair to expect that the annu
f al income from the amount which would
fall to each county, would prove an
incentive to a better class of men—to
try teaching as a profession. Many lo
calities would, by the aid thus afforded,
be enabled to maintain a school where
now the pay is too small to induce any
sort of a man to teach. Other places,
which now support but a poor school,
would, by adding to the income from
the fund, what the parents and State
now pay, be able to procure the servi
ces of a better man.
We do not, of course, imagine that
the income arising from this fund would
give even an elementary education to
our people, but we do contend that,
as it would prove a great material aid
in bringing more and better teachers
into the field, it would, to that extent,
cause the defect of our present system.
In proposing the liberal endowment of
our male colleges, we have indicated
tlie means by which an additional num
ber of better educated teachers may he
provided. °
Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.
Albany, Nov. Ist. 1858.
South Western Georgia is certainly
the garden spot of the State, and the
finest agricultural section we have ever
seen. The Cotton, Corn, and cane
crops, seem to promise an abundant
harvest, the two latter were never bet
ter, and the former will make nearly
an average, but will fall short of form
er anticipations. The society generally
is good, and the people every where
seem to treat the stranger with the ut
most respect and hospitality, with an
abundance of everythiug that makes
tlie farmer comfortable and happy—
they seem to enjoy life in a rational and
Christian like manner.
The boundless rauge affords a pas
turage for cattle, sheep and stock of all
kinds, which, with little attention, may
be raiser! without comparatively any
trouble or expense. Taking this section
altogether, it cannot easily he surpassed,
its healthful climate, its boundless pro
ductions, and the fertility of the soil offer
rare inducements to those in search of |:
plantations in a new country. The]'
city of Albany, is the capital of Dough '
erty county, and is a very thriving j
‘ town, and rapidly growing in oornmer
‘ cial importance, being the terminees
t of the South Western Railroad and sit- j
i uated in one of the richest and most
• intelligent portions of the State, aftord
] additional inducements to capitalists, j
■ j and business men to invest their surplus j
11 means in farms, stock, or manufactories.
s j They have two fine Hotels, and I learn
j that the proprietors of the S. W. Hotel in. j
1 tends to convert that building into a j
‘ three Story Brick building. Theßyington
1 House affords a table superior to any I
■ we have ever met with, all the substan
r rials, with a variety of pastry, fruits, j
e minces, &c., are here displayed before j
1 you in the greatest abundance, with an j
- attentive Landlord ever ready to attend :
t to the comforts of his guests, —none
• can fail to praise this establishment ;
- and feel refreshed after a sojourn at this ]
first class Hotel.

j Danukrocs Counterfeit.—We have
J been shown, says the Griffin South, a !
i genuine ten dollar note on the -Mer
chant & Planters’ Bank of Savannah,
', with counterfeit signatures. It is
"\ signed Augustus Burns, Cashier, and H.
, Roberts, President. We are informed
' ’ a sheet of the notes were lost, after be
, ] ing numbered and dated, before the
’ President and Cashier had signed them ;
! this is probably the first cue that has
I been detected, but there are more of
them out.
The Sardinian Mission. —It is rum ; r
| ed in private circles here, that this post
has been tendered to the Hon. John E.
1 j Ward, and that he aas determined to
1 ; accept it. On the other hand the Wash
’ j ington correspondent of the New York I
’ Ilerald states that Governor Winslow,
of North Carolina, has declined the
' mission to Sardinia, which had been of
' sered to him, and that consequently!
' Mr. Daniel’s resignation of tlie post!
r , will not bo accepted at present. We
ls have but little doubt of the accuracy of
0 the first report.

o The Paraguay Expedition.— A Wash-,
<. ingtou correspondent says, the increase
J of the Paraguay force shows that the j
l- expectations of the Administration j
i- have suddenly changed. It is now be
i- lieved tiiat if Lopez decides on resis
n tance, it will be necessary t« send a
i- large military force, under experienced
i- ’ generals, for land operations. It now
ci ] appears that the height of the foitifica-!
1 tions to be first assailed is such that
i. slap-guns cannot be effectively elevated.

” Kentucky, had declined the mission
'■ to Spain, is pronounced to be untrue.— j

Hanemann Reconverted to Common
r Sense. —At a meeting of “spiritualists,”
> an invalid was brought forward dread
'• fully afflicted with ulcerous scrofula
' that all the doctors had failed to cure
'■ It was proposed to appeal to the spirit
land for advice, and a Homeopathic
* physician present interrogated the de
e parted spirit of Hanemann as to what
e remedy should be taken. Loud anti j

Cure for Hog Cholera.
3 A correspondent of the American Far
mer recommends aaafoetida as a prevent- j
I ive of or cure for bog cholera. He gave |
it to his hogs by tying up a pound of I
> the drug in a thin piece of muslin, and
placing it in a tub holding two barrels I
or about sixty gallons of slop or swill, i
which was then fed to the animals. At ]
the end of two weeks, another bag of 1
the same amount of asafoetida should j ‘
be placed in the tub. The disease, he -
alleges, is prevented by this j
treatment. j j
“Oceans” of Cotton.— Everything]
that has wheels is pressed into service]
just now to haul cotton, and still there j
seems to be no diminution of the mighty j
mass at the depot. Cotton is all overj
the city, in streets, in lanes, in ware]
houses, in yards, in Cotton Presses, and ] 1
still comes forward without cessation. I
It is enough to gladden tlft hearts of j
ship owners to see it in such profusion, j 1
after suffering so severely last year. ,
With all the activity, freights are not ]
high, but vessels are able to load so i
quickly that it renders business profita- J
ble. ]
Hon. Joint Mlllwigo.
The Savannah Republican, says : —lt
having been stated that Mr. Undsrwood
would resign the office of Speaker of j
the House upon the opening of the ap- ] J
proaching session, a writer in the Ath-!
ens Banner proposes, in the event Mr.
Irwin, of Wilkes, who was the compe
titor of Mr. Underwood, should not
be ambitious of the distinction, that
it be conferred upon Mr. Milledge,
of Richmond. We never look to the 1
party in power for acts of magnanimity;
but should it occur to them, in a liberal
mood, to make snch a selection, they j
will be very sure of having an able.expe- j
rienced and impartial presiding officer -
Since writing the above, we perceive
the Atlanta Intelligener, contradicts tlie
rumor of Mr. Underwood’s intention to
resign.

ba, and afterwards, at a height 5,000
‘feet, came in collision, without doing
any serious damage.
i | ’lhe icronauts started from Cincinnati
at 4.21, and Mens. Godard landed at
about 20 minutes past ten. fifteen miles
-; west of Sandusky, having been up nbout
.! 6 hours. Prof. Steiner landed at 10.30,
i having been in the air ten or fifteen
| minutes longer than his competitor;
: and having traveled in the six hours
l and ten minutes about two hundred and
; thirty miles, landing just outside the cor
porate limits of Sandusky.
Both could have traveled considerab
ly farther, but neither having a know
ledge of the whereabouts of the other,
and not feeling disposed to attempt to
1 cross the lake into a Canadian forest;
they descended and returned to town
together over the Hamilton and Dayton
. road.
According to the stipulations of the
race, signed and witnessed before start
! ing it-‘ was understood that the aeronaut
; who maik the greatest distance, without re

winner, and we announce the fact that

; notice editorially a patent medicine ; yet wo feel
:it a duty when we are convinced an article is
I very meritorious to Inform the public, Ihst they,

‘them from using other art clos that have no
' merit in them.
Now we wish particularly to recommend to ,
jour readers, DR. SANFORD'S I.IVrR INVIGO
' KATOB as an article that has given benefit and
1 performed cures, in our circle of acquaintance,
that were little less than astonishing. It is par
ticularly recommended for all diseases ol the
. Diver as it is a Liver Invigoralor. Especially
. among our own childrtn have we noted its ben
1 edcial effects, where the little sufferers, Irom
bowel complaint, worms and other diseases in
i cidcnt to children, have been made quiet and
[ perfectly cured by the use of this article. It has
, testimonials that none can doubt, for the core of
Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and such troubles as al
ways follow'a deranged Liver A few such cases
have come under our observation, where it

Our advico to families is not to he without it,
as It will save many hours of pain by its speedy
use when disease first makes its attack —Ala

jffj rue Great Problem
’ Solved 1--DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR-
I DIAL. The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
\ j 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
- j fluid re acquires it 3 solvent power, and the crude
i j nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
e the sutferer, while hts digestive organization was
II paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
. j wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health,
i The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia. Tic-doloreux
j or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
| rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
* i paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
1 1 terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
l or disability arisingfrom the unnaturalcondition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
j ery member with the source of sensation, mo
: lion and thought—derives iinmcdfrte benefit
I from the use of this Cordial, which atoncecalms,
I invigorates aud regulates the shattered nervous
, j organization.
! Females who have tried it are unanimous in
! declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
| woman has ever received from the La ds o'
j 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
{lowers 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 lile and the vigor necessary to its en
joy ment are desirable, this medicine is indeed ot
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
j wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, tho victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
biiity or from the weakness ot a single organ
willall find immediateand permanentreli f from
the u-e of this incomparable u -v.i or. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it 1
will prove a complete and unfailing sale guard
against that terrible milady. There are many
per nap* who have so trifled with their constitu- .
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
ierence u the causes, aud will not only remove
the di order itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution
