' Our Celestial Relations.
The late treaty with China, and the
appointment of Mr. Ward as Minister
*0 that Empire, are two events of salu
tary significance to the commercial in
terest of the United States, and of es
pecial importance to the South. For
years, our imports of teas, opium and
raw silk, from the Celestial Empire,
have been gradually increasing, and
andcr the stimulus of unrestricted
eommercial intercourse, arc likely to
undergo still more rapid-augmentation.
They have facilities for supplying the
markets of the world with these arti
*les, possessed by no nation on the
globe. It is believod that this trade
will enable us to introduce our South
ern staples, and probably open a wide
market for cotton fabrics. Tho general
Introduction of cotton goods among
her vast population, would stimulate
♦he manufacturing interests of the
world, and create a demand for cotton
»uch greater than the present supply.
Thus it is not easy to estimate advan
tages likely to grow out of the late
treaty with a nation whose exclusive
policy has rendered her trade almost
valueless, 'this treaty has been ac
uamp'.ished in terms the most honora
ble to the United States, and under cir
cumstances likely to induce more cor
dial relations with this country, than
with any party to the compact save
perhaps Russia, whose territory adjoins
tho Chinese Empire, and who, like ns,
•btained her treaty by friendly diplo
macy. Mr. Ward occupies a very in
teresting and responsible position, as
the pioneer of American commerce,
to a country teeming with population,
and rich in natural resources. He is cve
tf way qualified for the duties it imposes,
and tho South will watch, with interest
and confidence, the results of his mis
tioa.
Tramping Jour Printers*
There is a time-honored and commen
dable usuage among printers to lend a
hand to a brother chip in distress. No
member of the craft knows iiow soon ,
adversity may place him in a position j
where such assistance may be needed. !
But there is a numerous classof peripatc • :
tic demijohns,who sponge on tho indus- j
tious portion of the fraternity for mon
ay to get from one town to another,and
*o sooner do they get “a stake ” than
they wallow about the bar-rooms until
it is gone,and tramp to the next town, to
renew their appeals for monoy. These
vagabonds will seldom work more
than a week in a place,and are general
ly in too much haste to get to some giv
en point, to work at all. It is time the
industrious portion of the craft would
learn to discountenance such trifling
imposters. They are unworthy of sym
pathy, and in entertaining them, there
is 'no chance of stumbling across an
“ angel unawares.” A sober printer
who is out of a situation always com
mands our sympathy, and it pains us
to refuse an application for work from
such a man. But we have no pity or
patienco with the numerous tribe of be
sotted beggars who impose upon tho
proverbial liberality of the craft. No
gentlemanly printer need ever tramp a j
day for work, and a man of the right •
jnetal would take to ditching, chopping 1
wood, or working in any menial capaci -
ty, before ho would beg a brother toil
er for means to get from one place to :
another.-

Trout House.
We observe that Tiios. Gannon, lato
proprietor of the Trout House, in At
lanta, has retired from that establish
ment, and is succeeded by Dr. J. D.
Eoyd, well known from his connection
with Charleston Hotel. We have found
Mr. Gannon a most obliging landlord,
and we wish him success in whatever
pursuit he may engage. The Trout
House is favorably located, and a well
constructed hotel, and we have no
doubt, Dr. Boyd will find it a profitable
business.
Wisconsin.— The struggle for party
ascendancy in Wisconsin will turn, it is

To appropriate $1,500 to the Medical
College of Georgia, in Augusta.
Dr. Barton, of Richmond, addressed
i the House on the passage of this bill;;
|he stated the College had been started,
as an experiment. It bad so far thrived j
very well, but the College now, if it j
succeeded well, must be assisted. Shei
had struck out a new path, others had'
followed her, and should the State not j
encourage her officers in this great eu-1
terprise ? Do Representatives know how
I much is paid in the shape of taxes by!
the Medical Profession of this State ? It:
is nearly $25,000. Besides, these Medi
cal Colleges stop our young men from
from going North, and causes to be
spent, in the confines of the State, thou
sands of dollars, which would other
wise go to the North. Is tbis an object
that ought to be attained, then give us
this little donation.
Mr. Milledge of Richmond, said many
of the memorialists are personally
known to members of the House. The
Institution is now laboring under a
' judgment that has been obtained
against it. and the Professors have to
pay the interest accruing on it, out of
their own pockets. When the princi
pal becomes due, what will become of
1 the Institution ? We now ask you to
advocate that sum, and save them from
' deetruotion. It is needed, will you giva
■ it?
Mr. Irwin of Wilkes—Held up before
the members this idea, many young
■ men Ittrve gone to that college, and
7 they turned none away. He hoped
1 the bill would pass. Mr. Taliaferro of
Whitfield opposed the bill from no rea
-1 son of any weight that he could assign
himself. He said if the institution
could not support itself, let it go by the
board. Mr. Irwin asked the gentlemen
' whether he was willing t® see the Insti
[ tution go down! He had no answer to
1 the question. Mr. Kenan, of Baldwin
said he thought this College hail its
-3 ceived enough. The State had given
1 it a lien «pon certain lands, and also,
; SIO,OOO. Tlie only reason that the lots
'' of land had been of no service to them
' | was, that it was a strife between citi
jzens of Augusta; lie was in favor of

ggTlt is wot often that we.
notice editorially a patent medicine ; yet we feel
it a dnty when we are convinced an article is!
very meritorious to inform the public, that they, j
too, may be benc-QUed by its use, and to prevent j
them from using other articles that have no
merit in thorn.
Now wo wish particularly to recommend to
our readers, DR. SANFORD’S I.IVFR IN’VKIO
RATOR, as an article that has given benefit and j
performed cures, in our circlo of acquaintance,
that were little less than astonishing. It is par- ' (
tieularly rooommended for all diseases of the (
Liver, as it is a Liver Inviyoralor. Especially i
among our own children have we noted its ben
eficial effects, where the little sufferers, from
bowel complaint, worms und 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 euro of
Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and such troubles as al
ways follow a deranged Liver A few such cases 1
have come under our observation, where it
seemed almost to work miracles.
Our advice to families is not to lie without it,
as it will save many hours of pain by its speedy
use when disease first makes its attack -Ala

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 material
which is to bo subjected to their action. As an
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long lile and the vigor necessary to its en-1
! joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed ol
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, the victim of nervous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
willa.ll find immediateand permanent relief from
the use of thi% incomparable ren >vator. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
perhaps 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
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution j.
