American Hotel.
Our readers, who may have occasion
to stop at Columbia, S. C , will not for
get that the American Hotel, in that
city, has recently been leased by Soros
Hike, Esq., who is known as second to
none, in providing for the wants of his
guests. Rend His advertisement in an
other coiluinn, and give him a call.
Col. Kinnan'B Kducaflonal Bll!.
Mr. Kenuan has offered iu the House
the bill ’ from the Senaius Academicus
providing for a permanent educational
fund, and purporting to endow the
Colleges of thuState. Weare glad to ob
serve the interest taken by many of the
most able men of the Legislature in
plans for furthering the work of educa
tion in the State. -We regret that the
plan propo ed does not look to the dis
posal by the sale of the Western & At
lantic Road, but the absence of such
feature should not prevent us from ap
proving whatever of good there may be
in any bill that may be passed.
We are as yet uninformed of the ex
act provisions of the hill, hut the lead
iug features are the appropriation of
four millions for school purposes, with
grants of $50,000 dollars worth of State
Bonds to Franklin College, and $50,000
to the Military Tustitute and to each
of the three denominational Colleges.
If the income on the 54,000,000, is
to be used in aid of our present system
of schools by paying an amount for the
tuition of every child between certain
ages, the scheme thus far meets our
views of a proper course; bnt if the in
come is to be expend in putting in op
eration a system of schools distinct
from those already in existence,we think
the plan extremely unwise, while we
can confidently predict that it will not
receive the approval of our people when
ever it shall he put in execution. If ,
this last he the intention of those gen
tlemen who have the matter in hand,
we do not see how they can fail to con
sider that while the system would be
wholly inadequate to meet the necessi
ties of our people for schools, it would
yet have a pro tanto effect to weaken the
system now in operation. The income
upon $4,000,000 wonld he but a mere
fraction of the amount paid for the sup
port of schools in this State. It could
not therefore support either in sufficient
number nor of a suitable character to
meet the wants of by far the larger por
tion of our population. Nor could any
hut teachers of inferior natural and ex
perimental capacity,be procured for the
amount that may arise upon the pro
posed fund. Vet a certain amount of
patronage would thus be drawn from ’
the schools which we now have,and they
would be less able than now to support
as good or as many teachers. Thus two
weak and ineffective systems of schools
would exist when for obvious reasons
we ought to have but one strong system.
"We must express the hope therefore that '
no plan will find favor in Millcdgeville
which looks to an establishment inde
pendent of the schools now at work.
While endeavoring to shun the odium
which attaches to school systems in
tended solely for poor folks, our law
makers must not fall into a worse error
of making schools poor in quality.
If the aid proposed to be offered to
the Colleges, we must say that we look
upon the conditions proposed to be at- 1
taclied to the donations ascalculated to
render them in fact no aid at all. The
conditions are that for every S2OO of
income upon the amount given to each
institution, that institution shall in
struct, feed, wash, and light, one pupil 1
annually (?) If it boa correct princi
ple that the State should board those
who are unable to hoard themselves
while obtaining a collegiate education
we cannot for the life of us, see why
the State ought not also to clothe the
same needy individuals. Propossediy
the object of the donation is to furnish
a corps of well educated teachers for
the State. Nor what difference can
it make to the educational welfare of the
State whether these well trained teacli
ers he taken from a class whose parents
can do nothing towards giving their sous
a collegiate education, or from another
class whose parents could not afford to
board their sons at College if they were
relieved of the expense for tuition?
The income at 7 per cent on $4,000,-
000, the same total given to all the Col
leges, would be $28,000. Dividing this
amount by 200 will give us 140 as the
number of young men who could he
taught fed,&c.at State cost for each year.
* But as the regular course would require
a period of four years, the number of
teachers annually sent into the field
from all the institutions would be but 35
rather a forlorn hope to do battle with
the 187,000 children between the ages of
5 and 15 years, whom Dr. Church’ esti
mates to be in our State.
Suppose now, that the State, rather
than expend about $l6O per annum in
hog and hominy for those who have no
claim to assistance than any other classj
should prefer to pay the tuition fees of
a larger number from among those who
would board themselves, and taking
S4O per annum to ho the regular tuition
for the S2B 000 annual income, would
keep 700 young men in College and an
nually turn out 175 educated men.
The question then resolves itself into
this whether rheStale will best consult
the welfare of all by feeding and instruc
ting for four years, 35 .persons nr by in
true ing for four years 170 other persons
who will be in every way as competent
teachers as the 35.
And, by the way, if it be as all ac
knowledge an insult to propose paying
the tuition fee in common schools, as at
present, of those who are poor,how will
it not be a much greater insult to pro
pose both educating and feeding a young
man because he is needy !
Why not at once offer the aid of free
tuition to those who would attempt to
supply their other wants by their own
exertions.
Again after the graduation of those
: 35 embryo teachers, who knows that
they would be able to find employment
as teachers ? They would he bound
to serve a public'wliicb might not choose
to be served by them. They might be
notoriously disqualified for tcachiDg.
Nature has not made every man a teach-:
er, more than site has endowed every |
man with the qualities necessary for a
legislator, and those poor fellows would
be doomed to pass four years in a school
room without pupils. In our estima- 1
tion they could as safely obligate them
selves to practice law or medicine for|
four years. °

Close of South Carolina State Fair.
Columbia, Nov. 13, 1858. '
The third annual Fair of S. C. State
Agricultural Society closed here yester
day. The following are the names of
those from Georgia, to whom premiums
were awarded.
Best variety of Upland Cotton —Dick-
sons Prolific.
Best Bale Wool—J. W. Watts, Cass
ville.
Best light draft Filly, 3 years old—j
D. B. Archer, Augusta.
G. W. Warning—Clarksville, was
awarded premiums for best Morgan!
Stallion, 6 years old, and for second
best, 3 years old—for best single har
ness Morgan Mare, G years old,—for
second best Cow, 3 .years old, and for
best Heifer, 1 year old.
Best Photograph in Pastel—Tucker
and Perkins, Augusta.
Best Wrought-iron, one-horse Mould
board Plow, and best Wrought-iron
Sweep—G. W. Cooper.
Best Child's dress—Miss Kate Holmes, ■
Cass County.
Best Cloak—Mrs. Jas. T. Nesbitt, Au- j
gusta.
Although the Machinery was quite
well represented, only three premiums
were awarded in that Department, while ,
about one hundred and fifty premiums ;
were given for fancy needle work and
such like. Surely our Agricultural
Fairs would appear its if they did not ;
wisli to encourage advancement in the
Mechanic Arts. A lady sends a collar,
without expense, by some friend, and
receives a silver cup, and a complimen
tary notice, while the industrious Me
chanic from the up-country, spends his!
time and dollars to exhibit a fine inven- j
tion, and is not even noticed. Our Agricul
tural Societies must alter their course j
in this respect, or the result will be that
Mechanics will remain at home with!
their inventions, and save themselves a j
much timc.Jtrouble, and expense, a 8
well as the mortification of being over
looked and crowded aside at the Fairs.
Friday is comparatively quiet in town,!
after the few days past. It is estimated'
that at least one third more visitors
have been at this fair than at the one
held last year. The American Hotel
has had over 800 visitors during the
past week, and notwithstanding the
crowded state of the House, everybody
seemed in good humor and satisfied with j
tire efforts made for their accommoda-;
tion. GUT. j
A Caution to Young Men.
A young medical student from Mich
igan who had been attending lectures j
in New York for some time, and consi
dered himself exceedingly good look
ing aud fascinating, made a deadly on
set on the heart and fortune of a bloom-j
ing young lady who was hoarding in
the same house with him. After a pro
longed siege the lady surrendered.— i
They were married on Wednesday
morning. The same afternoon the
“young wife” sent for and exhibited
to the astonished student a “beautiful
little daughter,” three and a half years'
of age.
“Good Heavens! then you were a
widow,” exclaimed the astonished stu
dent.
“ Yes, my dear, and this is Amelia,. :
my youngest to morrow ; Augustus,;
James and Reuben will arrive from the 1
country, and then I shall have all my 1
children together once more.
The unhappy student replied not a!
word; his feelings were too deep for’
utterance. The next day the “other!
darlings” arrived. Reuben was six
years old, .Tames nine, and Augustus a!
saucy boy of twelve. They were de
lighted to hear they I tad a “new papa,”
because they could not live at home and
have all the playthings they wanted !
1 The "new papa,” as soon as he could
speak, remarked that Augustus and
Janies did not much resemble Reuben
and Amelia.
j . no.” said the happy mother,
"my first husband was quite a differ
f cut style o, temperament, color of hair
and eyes- all different.”
> This was too much. He had not on
; lj married a widow, but was her third '
i kniband, and the astounded step-father
j oi tour children.

The conceit was now quite taken out
, the Michigander, who, finding that
, he had made a complete goose of him
t*. '• oncts retired to a farm in his na
tive State, where he could have a chance
to render his “boys” useful, and make
-weat for the deceit practiced upon him

Seth W. Fowle— Sir : You are at liberty to use .
tbe following statement for the benefit ol the at
’ flicted:
} I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink ol j
! the grave. During my sickness 1 was attended ;
| by three physicians In our place, but received j
luo help. I also tried the various remedies re- i
| commended for such complaints, but they as
; forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was j
! persuaded to try Witlars Balsam of W'ild
Cherry , and by using four bottles 1 was restored
I to better health than 1 have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
a3 strictly true. Betsey Perrin .

sence of D.\ A. Strong, o* Honesdale, who is well

df It is not often tBS ITO
notice editorially a patent medicine ; yet we feel
it a duty when we arc convinced an article la j
very meritorious to inform the public, that they,
too, may be benefitted by its use, and to prevent,
them from using other articles that have no j
merit in them.
Now wc wish particularly to recommend to >
our readers, DR. SANFORD’S I.IV£R IN’.IGO
RATOft, as an article that has given benefit and
performed cures, in our circle <>f acquaintance, J
that were little less than astonishing. It Is par
licularly recommended for ail diseases of the
Liver, as it is a Liver Invigorator. Especially
among our own children have we noted its ben- j
eficial ell'ects, where the little sufferers, from 1
bowel complaint, worms and other diseases in- j
cident to children, have been made quiet ami j
perfectly cured by the use of this article. It has
testimonials that none can doubt, for the cure of
Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and such troubles as al
ways follow a deranged Liver. A few such cases
have come under our observation, where it
seemed almost to work miracles.
Our advice to families is not to be without it,
as it will save many hours of pain by its speedy

|tT The Great P r obleni
Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR-1
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
I course of this extraordinary Onic. The gastric
fluid rc acquires its solveutpower, and the crude
! nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, 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-doioreux j
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- j
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with j
paralysis, borne down aud dispirited by that
terriblelassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition j
of tbe wonderful machinery which connects ey- 1 I
ery member with the source of sensation, mo I ,
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit i ;
from the use of this Cordial, which atoncecalms, j I
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous ini
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that I
woman has ever received from the ha ds of • 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;
powers it creates a desire for the solid materia)!
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- ;
joymeut are desirable, this medicine is indeed ol
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
sex or to auy age. The feeble girl, the ailing ■
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn j .
man of business, the victim of nervous dtpres-;
sion, the individual suffering from general de j
bility or from the weakness of a single organ :
wilJall find immediate and permanent relic f from i 1
the use of this incomparable renovator. -Toj
those who have a predisposition to paralysis jt j {
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible milady. There are many;
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu-1
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 i
Jerence to the causes, and will not only remove j
the disorder itself, but rebuild tbe broken con- ‘
stitution
