AUGUSTA,GEO :
Thursday Kvenlng. Biov. 18, 1858.
Death of Samuel M. Thompson, Esq.
It becomes our painful duty to record
the demise of Samuel M. Thompson,
Esq., late news and commercial editor
of the Evening Dispatch. He expired al
forty minutes past three o’clock this
•morning, at the residence of his sister
in-law Mrs. A. G. Willis, after a pain
ful illness of about three weeks. Mr.
Thompson was born in the city of
Charleston, S. C., Oct. 29th, 1808, and
was, therefore, fifty years and nineteen
days old at the time of his decease. He
served an apprenticeship at the printing
business, in the office of the Charleston
Courier, where he remained until his re
moval to Augusta.
He took an active part on the Union
side, at the period of nullification, and
signalised his entrance upon early man
hood by a vigorous co-operation with
the friends of President Jackson, at that
period.
In 1832 or 1833, he came to Augusta,
and took charge of the Constitutionalist
office, as foreman, and in 1835 embarked
in the Daily Constitutionalist , the first dai
ly paper published in this city. He,
maintained his connection with that j
paper as joint proprietoruntil Oct. 1840,1
when he sold out to his partner, Mr.
P. C. Guieu, and retained his position
as Commercial and News editor a short.
time, when he went to Savannah, and'
remained four years as foreman of the i
Georgian office. In 1846 he returned to
Augusta and resumed the position of.
Commercial editor, where he remained j
until 1855, when he resigned his connee- j
tion with the paper, with a view of is-1
suing the Augusta News but his health :
failed, and f or a period of about two
•yearslie was not engaged in business.
On the first of June, 1858, he assumed j
the duties of news and commercial edi- j
tor of the Evening Dispatch, which posi
tion lie maintained until the Ist of No
vember, when he was prostrated by the
sickness which terminated his earthly
career as above stated. He had been
connected with the press of Georgia
twenty-five years, a longer period with
perhaps one or two exceptions, than any
among the editorial corps of the State,
and for the accuracy of his commercial
reports, and general efficiency as a wri- 1
ter and journalist, had acquired a repu-.
tation seldom attained in his profession.
In his relations with the fraternity, as j
well as in private life those higher qual- j
ities of fidelity, generosity andkindness,
were always observable, lie ever sought
to avoid offence, and to promote the
interest and happiness of those around
him.
These qualities of philanthropy were
-signalized, not only in his every-day in
tercourse with his fellows, but by his
untiring devotion to the sick in those
periods when many stern hearts and
strong arms around him quailed before
the march of the augel of death that
has twice shrouded our city in mourn
ing and gloom. In 1839, being at the
time one of the Board of Aldermen, he
was among the few noble spirits who
co-operated with Mayor Alfred Cum
ming in nursing the sick, while he stood
manfully at his post as editor, andtup
plied absentees with regular reports of’
the progress of the epidemic—perform
ing. at the same time,* the duties of
compositor and editor —and devoting;
every spare moment to ministering to the j
wants of the sick and dying. In 1854
again, as editor of the Constitutionalist ,
aud a member of the “ Good Samaritan
Association," he renewed his devotion
to the suffering, and while the city was
panic stricken, and almost deserted,
remained at his post, and issued a daily
slip of the journal with which he was 1 '
connected, at this time also performing! 1
a large share of the duties attendant j '
apon its publication
But lie is gone—aud th*se who knew ,
him and loved him, perform the sad
rites for him, which he was ever ready i
to administer to others. As a husband '
and father, the same qualities of gen
tlenes, and affection that made him the 1
friend of ail his race, were constantly t
exemplified, ire shall miss him, from ]
the old familiar window where he wasj •'
wont to sit for so many years—our rea-; <
ders will miss him—but no loss can com I
pare with the bereavement of his family
circle. May Godcomfortand deal gent- 1
Iv with the widow and the orphan.— I
A notice of his funeral maybe found i
under the appropriate head. j 1
A Faithful Officer. j <
That Mr. Thweatt has made the best I
Comptroller General we ever had, says <
the Macon Telegraph, is the just reward
which both parties have pronounced in, i
favor of this meritorious, industrious 1
and faithful officer, and wc hope the ;
present Legislature will endorse the i
verdict of the public by a substantial j l
evidence of its good opinion of Mr. ,
Thweatt’s zeal in the service of the 1 '
State. • ,
Some of the papers suggest that his
saiary be raised. He is now receiving
51.500. We know nothing of the la
bor devolving upon the details of that
office, but certainly if there is an officer
in the service of the State that deserves!
liberal pay, it is Col. TiiwEAn-.
Spain. —Spain is in a fairway of bav
ing her hands full. She is preparing an
expedition against the Moorish pirates
of the Riff—a formidable expedition,;
• consigning, it is said, of 10,000 men ; and
another against Mexico, which will be a
very expensive affair. Os the latter, the
ships for the transport of troops, have
already sailed Except one, which is de
tained at Cadiz by stress of weather.—
How far the Spanish treasury can stand
such drains as these remains to be seen.-*
[communicated]
*on the Bth ultimo there appeared an
’ article in the Chronicle &t Sentinel on the
i Physical Training of Children, in which
was the following language :
But if a child must he sent to school
before he has learned to appreciate in
I struction, and before he is physically
. lit to endure the fatigue of study, send
I him where he will not he confined lon
ger than three hours a day, and to a
teacher who knows how to govern with
out. the rod !
Believing the author intended to re
pudiate the rod as a means-of school
government and discipline—in short,
that he was a “moral suasionist,” of
. whom the number perhaps is on the in
crease, we ventured to reply to the wri
tdr, combatting his position and advoca
ting the jndicious use of that import
; ant adjunct of the school room. To
this article of curs, the author gave a
passing notice, affirming that our con
struction is not legitimate ; that he has
expressed 11 no opinion" for or against
j “corporal punishment" in school; that
he did not even "dream" of such an
idea ; and, by inuendo, insinuates that
1 I havo not sense enough to under
-1 stand plain English. Well, of course,
one who has not learned 1 ‘how to teach
’ without using the bod,” can scarcely
j be expected to be able to construe correct
language! It is our misfortune not to
; fee alike and not to agree in our inter
j pretation of language ; for if we can
I understand the gentleman’s position,
j he has expressed an opinion 6o(A"pro and
j con," although he evidently intends to
j entertain his private opinion that it is a
j “rat,’’though he has conceded it may ben
“mouse.” The author wishes us to “do
him justice.” Unfortunately this is
| difficult, from the fact that-he seems,
! unconsciously perhaps, to himself, to
j be on both sides of the question, albeit
he says he is on neither, and lias ex
! pressed “no opinion” upon the subject,
j Now will W. S. M., author of said arti
j cle, read the quotation we have made
from him, in reference to the “rod,”
j then his affirmation that he had ex
| pressed “no opinion” upon the use of
; the “rod” in school, either for or
| against,<iot even “dreaming” of repu
diate it; and finally will he read his
closing paragraph in reply to our criti
cism, inviting .ns to inform the reader
“from what part of Holy writ we find
authority for using the rod as a practi
cal school teacher”—we say, will lie
compare these and say there is not a
palpable contradiction? We did feel
1 prepared to do the writer “justice,” to
| make the amende honorable if necessary,
when wc read his declaration that be
*1 had expressed “no opinion”—did not
| “dream” of repudiating the rod ; and
’ j we thought surely we were in error as
-1 ter all; hut, when we came to the closing
e sentence, calling upon us rather in a
I self-assured air, as much as to say, you
! can’t do it—to give our authority for
L the use of the rod, we confess we felt a
‘J little amused and a little puzzled too,
“Jail of which oar opponent doubtless can
I \ easily account for!
We summoned our philosophy to our
aid, but we are not sure we divined cor
rectly. Ic suggested, however, that the
”j gentleman’s judgement approved of this
“terror of evil doers ” only, while the’
"feeling remembrance ,” of which bespeaks,
entertains an old grudge against the rod,
I that must be permitted to denounce j
this relic of barbarism. But we will!
j. indulge in no speculation lest we do the j
gentleman “injustice.” The facts arc!
P sufficient. The advice to send a scholar
, to a teacher, who “knows how togov-
J ern without the rod,” can legitimately
! bear but one construction, unless re
stricted to some special class of pupils.
The expression is general—unmodified, j
If I, for example, advise my friend or;
neighbor to call in the aid of a physi- :
! ciun who knows how to cure without j
the use of “calomel,” we think we ■
I should be understood to have expressed ]
some “opinion” respecting this species ■
of medicine; at least, we should em- 1
ploy such language only when opposed
to it. I
We suppose however, W. S. M. would ■
not even “dream” of any such idea at
taching to the expression. 1
It may seem a little discourteous in us
to persist in one construction, when
the author affirms that he has ex :
pressed “no opinion”: still we must he j
allowed the privilege of verbal criti
cism whatever the intention might be on !
the part of the writer. ;
Our opponent thinks the poetical se- '
lection we made unfortunate for our
theory. Not at all. True the term
rod is not used by the poet; but we con
tend that the doctrine is simply this :
means adequate to the end, implicit obe
dience. The gentleman must remember
that when “neither words nor grass will ;
do ” something more substantial must.
The Great Teacher himself—the person
ification of “ meekness and gentleness”
became indignant on a certain occasion, ,
aud not only employed stern rebuke that i
doubtless made the offenders tremble, 1
but administered a little wholesome dis
cipline with a “scourge of small cords.” ,
The rod is a dernier resort unless used iu
mere wautoness ; and of course, if the
“delinquent” canbe made to shake with!
fits of awe” by “darting” se oere looks !,
| or donning a "terrible form," it would be i
superfluous ; and we presume had the I
i Savior been able to accomplish his pur- 1
pose without the “scourge” he would
I baldly have resorted toit. Obedience at i
any cost; without the rod of passible—
! villi it when necessary.
But we are called upon to state from
i what part of the holy writ, we get our
authority, as a “practical teacher” to
use the rod. This is not difficult ; i. e.
to our mind. But as the gentleman
, seems to be rather a "strict constructionist"
we may not be able to satisfy his mind
l on this point. Perhaps the gentleman
may call for my authority to teach at all!
‘lf however lie will allow what the law
seems to allow, that the teacher main
tains a parental relation to the pupil, we
think he will be forced to admit that the
Bible not only permits, hut enjoins the
use of the rod. The entire scriptures near
ly,enforce the duty of governing children
pronouncing, andinflicting the severest
curse upon those who permit them to
do as they please but “restrain them
not.” There are some particular por
tions, however, more explicit than oth
ers, not only enjoining this duty, but
also specifying the means by which it
shall he accomplished. True they do not
say, teachers should employ the rod nor
' in most cases do they say who they art
that must perform this duty, but the
sense is patent; parents or those sustaining
the relation of parents; these are “tile
powers that he, and are ordained ol
' God,” and whoso resisteth them rcsisteth
the ordinance of God.” But to the law
and to the testimony, what do the scrip
tures say? Eplurihusparval. Wc cannot
of course transcribe the hundreds of
passages that hear upon this subject.—
Proverbs XXUI—I3, 14. Withhold not
correction from the child, for if thou
beatesthim with a rod he shall not die.
Thou shalt beat him with a rod and de
liver his soul from hell. Rather strong
moral suasion. Proverbs, XXIX, 15. —
The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a
child left to himself bringeth his moth
er to shame. Proverb, XXII, 15. Fool
ishness is hound in the heatt of a child
but the rod of correction shall drive it far
from him. Proverb, XIX,IB. Chasten
thy son while there is hope, let not
thy soul spare for his erring. This
doubtless refers to children of the ten
der age that W. S. M. seems to think
ought to he governed without the rod ;
but deferring as much as possible to the
judgement of our opponent we must
be excused if we prefer to follow Solo- (
man rather than W. S. M. oa

Ouv Trenty with Chinn.
The New York Tunes contains what
purports to be a full copy of our new ]
treaty with China. Speaking of it, (
the Tones remarks : i
A large portion of its clauses are in
nearly the same terms as those of the ]
treaty of 184 G, though some clauses j
have been added and changes made
which have an important bearing upon <
our commercial interests. Lord Elgin,
moreover, evidently did not think so i
badly of some of its provisions as the
London Times now affects to do. Un
• der the old treaty American vessels paid
1 tonnage duties at the rate of live mace
- (50 cents) per ton ; and this was re
i duced, through Mr. Reed, the American
Minister, to four mace per ton, (40 cts.)
.! upon the ground that as the registered ;
! tonnage of our vessels is one fifth more
’ : than that of the British, this reduction ,
; | of the rate was necessary to inak 3 the
• 'duties equal. Lord Elgiu, of hearing
*! this reduction, insisted upon a similar
(reduction in the British treaty, and «
thus sought to perpetuate the advantage <
of British vessels over our own.
Revolution In Sonora.
j New York, Nov. 14.—Private letters

there, which confirms the Heralds state- I

with his surveying party, consisting of <
about thirty Americans, occupied three s
houses In the centre of the town,direct- .
ly between the opposing parties. If an
'attack had been made on him,he would
have hoisted the American flag and *
fought under it, being well armed, with
plenty of ammunition, and a brig in ■
the harbor mounting two Dine pounders •
I-ieut. Mowry was also there, ready to ?
lend assistance with his men. The civil
war ended hv the surrender of the au- j
thorities to the rebels, after getting all i
they demanded and obtaining a guar
antee of immunity from prosecution.— |
The rebels reinstated the authorities.— |
The Americans were not attacked owing ,
to their firm position, and declining to
surrender their houses to the leader of ‘

A Touching Dittv.—When Seth got J

Sarah Ann, and found that she, the’ j

And then most awful tight he got, aud f
so he went away, andbound himself to t
go and cut live oak in Florida. He 1
pined upon the live oak lands ; he mur- j
mured in the glades; his axe grew .
heavy in his hands, all in the wild 1
wood shades. Musquitos bit him every- -j
where, no comfort did beget—ah ! how i
terribly he'd swear whenever he’d get 1
hit. At last, despairing of relief, and, j
wishing himself dead, he went into the i
wools apiece, and chopped off his own '
head. Thus died poor Seth.

Hided :
1 was attacked with the I.iver Complaint, j
which apparently brought me to the brink ot J
the grave. During my sickness I was attended j
by three physicians in our place, but received ;
no help. I also tried the various remedies re- !
j commended for such complaints, but they as- j
I forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was '■
persuaded to try Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, and by using four bottles I was restored
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Betsey Perms.
The above certificate was given in the pre

It is not often that we
notice editorially a patent medicine ; yet wc feel
it a duty when wc .arc convinced an article is
very meritorious to inform the public, ilia t they,
, too, may be benefit* ed by its use, and to prevent
| them from using other articles that have no
j merit in life in.
j Now we wish particularly to recommend to,
| our readers, DR. SANFORD’S IJViiR 1NVIGO
; RATO It, as an article that has given bejtfflt and
| performed cures, in our circle of acquaintance,
! that were little less than astonishing. It Is par
! ticularly recommended for all diseases of the 1
I.iver, as it is a Liver Innigorator. Especially
j among our own children have we noted its ben- j
: efleial effects, where the little sufferers, from'
! bowel complaint, worms aud other diseases in- j
i cident to children, have .been made quiet and
i 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 itj
seemed almost to work miracles.
Our advice to families is not to be without it,
as it will gave many hours of pain by its speedy
use when disease first makes its attack —Ala

Solved!—l)R. 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
j course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
j liuid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude i
nutriment, which was a load an l a burthen toj
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was;
paralyzed aud unstrung, becomes, under the j
wholesome revolution created in the system, the ;
basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the j
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux j
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- j
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that:
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of I
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnatural condition j
of tho wonderful machinery which connects ev- j
ery member with the source of sensation, mo-,
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit I
from the use of this Cordial, which at once culms, j
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous j
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanirao s iuj
declaring the Elixir to be -the greatest boon thui i '
woman has ever received from the ha ds ci ’ ■
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im- J
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite j
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire lor the solid material
which is to bo subjected to their action. As an ;
app jtiaer it ha 3 no equal in the Ph&rmacopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en-'
joyment arc desirable, this medicine is indeed of j
precious worth
Its beneficial effects arc not confined to either <
sex or to any age. Tho feeble girl, the ailing 1
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 I
willall find immediateand permanent relit ffrom I
the use of this incomparable ren »vator. To 4
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible m ilady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- f
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
lerencc to the causes, aud will not only remove I
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution I
