Numerous Railroad projectors from •various sections of the State are now before our Legislature seeking aid from the Treasury in the form ofaloan credit We feel it our duty to enter a protest against any use of the credit of the State for any other than the simple le gitimate, purposes of government. In our judgement there never has existed a good reason why the State should be in debt to the extent of a single dollar. Onr people are perfectly willing to pay all taxes which are needed to j secure them in the possession of peace j and good order, but they are properly unwilling that their government should take steps which may necessitate an in crease of their burthens. To every one of these railroad appli cations it would be a sufficient answer, that if the people desired and thought it necessary to their welfare that these roads should be built, they would build them out of their own pockets, with out resorting to any indirections. So that we do not believe the Legislature has any shadow of right to give any sort of aid to any project of internal improvement beyond granting charters containing the necessary provisions to protect the public against the careless ness or malfeasance of private men. Not even should we believe in the existence of such right, if it could be shown to a mathematical certainty thatno losswould ever accrue to the State. But this can never be shown in advance with any sort of certainty, so long as no one can predict anything as certain in the fu ture. Governor Brown has expressed him self favorable to aiding llailroad Com panies if the State can be secured against future loss, as he thinks may be done. We think his if a very im portant one, nor do we have the slight est notion that the public would fail to be a loser in case the legislature act upon it. The proposed plan is that when the stockholders shall have paid in a share of the stock, the bonds of the State to a certain amount shall then be turned over to the directors to be thrown into the market wherever they can be sold, these bonds to be redeemed at the expi ration of a number of years. Now if the profits of the roads at the expiration of the given number of years, should be sufficient to take up these bonds and if they should be so appropriated, in stead of being swallowed up in fat sala ries to interested parties—why with these two ifs and a score or more of oth er equally doubtful words, it is hoped the bonds would be withdrawn from the market without the aid of the Treasu ry. To provide against the contingen cies of loss the favorite method —and the one recommended by our worthy demo cratic governor, is, to let the State take mortgages upon the whole stock of the roads. This sounds like a very safe business while in reality the mortgages are no security at all. But as if impress ed by some sense of the doubtful value ot such a security the Governor sug gests that the State shall also have a lien upon the private property of the stock holders which as wethink might prove just no safeguard at all. Everybody knows that the market value of the roads will always be pro portioned to the amount of profits upon the stock. Thus, if the profits should be so small as to render it impossible to ; redeem the bonds the roads could not 1 be sold under the mortgages for enough 1 to pay the State. In this event, which 1 the history of our best roads shows to be an event not at all unlikely to ' happen, the State must have recourse 1 to the lien upon the private pockets of j the stockholders. Let us now sec what that would avail to save the people | * of the State. What is the necessity for this aid of, the State ? The issuing of her bonds! _ .reatesuo new capital,but only operates to draw to the aid of the road the mon- t ey of those men who have it to lend , upon safe paper, but who have too little j confidence in the paying prospects of the j schemes themselves to trust their money without a better security. Now ' f capi- talists, men of discernment, are unable t t) sec that they can make a profit by <- investing in that kind of stock, by what e power of penetrating the future can our ( i legislators be enabled to see that the t profits will meet the State bonds at their a maturity ! The applications, then, arc ( | themselves confessions that the pros- j pective ability of the roads to pay is j problematical. Who under these cir- ~ cumstances will become stockholders with the prospect staring them in the J face that by so doing they may lose their private fortunes ? Certainly not men of means, who having something to preserve, will use due caution in the g matter and will decline to embark in a • speculation which promises at best but , small returns and hazards all they'pos sess. Subscribers to the stock then will be limited to the class of speculative characters who will feel that they can at the worst lose only their stock be cause that will comprise the whole few hundred dollars of their property. These will invest all they have in the road feeling perfectly safe that a lien upon the balance of their property, will be a lean upon nothing ! They will in many cases be tempted to this by the hope of finding employment as some of the many officers or agents necessary to carry on the concern. Thus we perceive that the security upon private property will be even poor er than that of the mortgages. The value of this private lien would be ren dered still less by the provision that the property of the stockholders should be held responsible only in propoition to the number of their shares, for thus, though the whole body of the corpora , tion .might have property enough in private hands to save the State, still the State would get but a portion of her dues. The truth is that if the State is to endorse for anybody, she would be less liable to lose, by supporting a class of wealthy men than are association of men of more moderate means, and yet this very provision by striking at pri vate property has a tendency to keep rich men aloof from the scheme. But it is said that the State will be en riched by the enhanced wealth of the sections penetrated by these highways. So it may be said that the State would be greatly benefitted_if a large number j of cotton factories could be put in ope ration, and yet who would think it pro-j per or safe for the Government to take stock in, or in any way to involve! herself in schemes in which private cap ital fears to embark ? The State will be safe if she lets the I thing called State aid alone, while it is at least probable she will lose every thing she may venture in such pro jects. We should have asked in a different i connection, who believes that execu tions would ever issue against whole! counties of stockholders in case it j should become impossible to meet the| bonds by sale under the mortgages ?—j Would that course not be resisted by j every artifice of lobby legislation ? oris! even Governor Brown a man of suffi- j cient nerve to apply the law to thous ands of influential citizens ? If a few | banks can boldly face the State and j defy her authority, where would be j found the power to sell out the private' estates of the owners and the chattels of ten or fifteen railroads ?

Mr. Atkinson .'—Sir :—I have but a few minutes, in which to let you know, that the La Fayette Hall is burned down. The fire originated about 3 1-2 a. m. to day, and burned for about two hours. The loss will be about SSOOO or G 000; S3OOO insured in vEtna Insurance Company. The fire arose from accident, it is generally believed. No other pro perty was destroyed. The losb falls most heavily on Sir. Candler, who was in the house at the time. As to the incidents we will send them to morrow.* Suffice ■ it to say that the citizens and members j 1 of the Legislature have subscribed be-1 tween SSOO and SIOOO to day for the j relief of Mr. Candler. Had it not been for the dampness of the night, the rain that fell, and the direction of the wind, the greater part of two blocks must have been burnt. I’ethel. -- Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. Milledceville, Ga., 1 November, 13th, 185 S. j Mr. Editor : —You want us to keep you posted as to the on dits of the Le gislature, &c. Well, on Saturday even ing we were a little excited by hearing the alarm of Fire! Fire ! 1 It frighten, ed a few ladies, excepting that, the fire did very little damage. The alarm arose from the Female Academy. The damage only extended to burning a hole in the floor of the room about 2 1-2 by 3 feet. The subject that seems to absorb all i of the attention of the Legislature, is! the bill giving the aid of the State to! the Macon and Brunswick Railroad.— The House of Representatives passed the bill on Saturday by 3 majority on a' motion to reconsider on this morning, the bill has been debated all day, and there seems to be no prospect of coming to a :■ vote. Several gentlemen have spoken 1 on the motion, we had the good for tune to listen to a part of the Hon. Geo, A- Gordon's speech, and also of the J Hon.Thos. Hardeman's speech in reply. 1 Both of the gentlemen acquitted them- , selves handsomely. Mr. Gordon drew i frightful pictures of the State’s condi tion, if she gave her credit to these < Companies. Mr. Hardeman made an earnest appeal in favor of the Road. The day has been very damp, but such is < the exciting nature of the conflict, that a good many Ladies have been in atten- 1 dance on the House all day. At the distance that you are, you can scarcely , imagine the amount of excitement that pervades every one in regard to the 1 passage of the measure. You should 1 have heard the speech of Mr. Gordon. ■■ Every word he speaks is a syren's note, , To draw the careless hearer.” Speaker after speaker arose anil each seemed to bear off the palm of victory. | The amount of outside pressure appa rent to the eye is really less than you would expect on the passage of so im portant a measure. The prevailing opinion seems to be, that the motion to reconsider will he lost. But then the I bill will have to pass another ordeal, as severe as this, and the question is ! will it stand up under such a renew ed attack. The friends of the measure seem to be pretty sanguine of success. And they are straining every nerve to accomplish the result. It seems to be pretty well understood that if the hill should pass, Governor Brown will not veto it. But who knows ? Hon. John E. 11 ard again took ins seat as Presi dent this morning, after an absence of a few days on special business. ‘Petrel.’ Removal of the Penitentiary. > Among the plans suggested in con > ncction with the removal of the Peni > tentiary, is one to locate it at the quar t ries in Cass county and to employ the convicts principally in burning Lime , for manure, and also Lime and Hydraul , ic cement for building purposes. r Lime is the basis of all agricultural improvement. The planters of Geor , gia greatly desire to use this fertilizer, , but have been unable to obtain it at j rates that would justify them. This j difficulty arises from the limited means of the persons engaged in burning lime, ( and from the cost of transportation. In the perpetual kilns which are very cost ly, lime can he burned at three cents , per bushel, rating wood at three dol lars per cord and labor at S2O per 11 month. The freight on lime for ma nure from Kingston to Augusta is ele ven cents per bushel. If the Peniten tiary provided its own car, the freight 'would be reduced to nine cents per bushel, which would make the total cost of lime delivered in Augusta to be twelve cents per bushel. Jif* Tiie Sun says, that a woman named Lizzie Minchen, was found burned to a crisp, in her room in Co lumbus, on Saturday night. The house ! was saved with difficulty. It is sup ,j posed she was intoxicated. At this rate cotton planters could af ford to use lime freely. The increase 'of our cotton crop from the free use of lime would be enormous. It would i 6eem to be an admirable use of the con j vict labor of the State to make it fertil 'i izcour lands, and as they have failed in I the effort to move the penitentiary to Stone Mountain, we hope they will try I I Kingston, or some point in that vicinity. er Dr. H.

Teach your children to be industri ous. It is the best preventive of crime —the best guardian to virtue. Read the history of the hundreds who fill our prisions, and learn that idleness was the cause of their ruin. Young men of in dustrious habits are seldom found in the sinks of pollution—disgracing them selves and their parents. The increase 1 of crime among us is chiefly caused liy the distaste of honest labor, 'l oo many had rather steal than work. Ts we could preserve the coming generation from those sins and vices which de grade the present times, teach them j good trades, and bring them up to in- I dustrious habits. Idleness, late hours, ! and a disregard for the Sabbath, drink | ing and the perusal of obscene and un ; principled sheets, are causing the ruin of millions. Man doubles all tiie evils of his fate by pondering over them. A scratch becomes a wound, a slight an injury, a jest an insult, a small peril a great dan- ' ger, and a slight sickness often ends in' death by brooding apprehensions. Family Peace. 1.

Now wc wish particularly to recommend to i 1 our readers, DR. SANFORD'S LIVrR IN VIGO- j RATOR, as an article that has given benefit and j performed cures, in our circle of acquaintance,! , that were little less than astonishing. Il is par- j , ticularly recommended for all diseases of the j I; Liver, as it is a Liver Jnvigorator. Especially . ! among our own children have we noted its ben- j I! efieial effects, where the little sufferers, from bowel complaint, worms and other diseases in ' cident to children, have been made quiet and ,! 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- I ways follow a deranged Liver. A few’ such cases r [ 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 \ 1 use when disease first makes its attack — Ala- , i toona Sentinel. nov3 «'Aclm j T ii e dreat Hr o blent Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR-1 | DlAL.—'The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach j ! has lost the power of duly converting food into a * life-sustaining clement, is relieved by a single j j course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric J | fluid re acquires its solventpower, and thccrude | i nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to 1 the sufferer, while bis digestive organization was j ! paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the j f wholesome revolution created in the system, the basis of activity, strength anu health. The nervous sufferer, while tormerted by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux 1 or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- 1 rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with [paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that! terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of j nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain J | or disability arising from the unnatural condition j of the wonderful machinery which connects ev- i | ery member with the source of sensation, mo- !; j tion and thought—derives immediate benefit j | i from tbc use of this Cordial, which at once calms, ] I invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous i j organization. Females who have tried it arc unanimous in ; ! ; declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that i 1 j woman has ever received from the ha 1 ds of , medical men. I Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im- j i mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite J j While it renews the strength of the digestive ; J | powers it creates a desire lor the solid material! which is to be subjected to their action. As an! - appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. I If long life and the vigor necessary to its en- j ‘ joy ment are desirable, this medicine is indeed ol ] - precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to either i sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the oiling I wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous depres- 1 sion, the individual suffering from general de I billty or from the weakness of a single organ willall find immediateand permanent relit ffrom the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis il ( will prove a complete and unfailing sale-guard | j against that terrible malady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion that they thiuk themselves beyond the reach of medicine. Let not even those despair. The i 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 stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de- £ siruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys- r pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe- » males, decay of the propagating functions, hys ' teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from * whatever cause arising, it is, if there is auy rcli- - ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute ly inraiinn e.
