AUGUSTA, GEO:
Monday Brenlne. Nov- ‘ i ' ! > |K ~’ B '
Savannah nntl Charleston.
The papers of Savannah and Charles
ton have manifested some curiosity ti
see the articles of “Seriatim,” thefirstol
which we published a few days ago.
The Courier of Saturday, copies the ar
ticle “as a curiosity,” and for “the ris
ible edification of its readers,” but docs
not find it convenient to pay special at
tention to any of its statements.
As for Augusta, she takes no particu
lar interest in the rivalry that exists be
tween the two cities, save to watch its
progress, and profit by its intluence upon
her own commercial affairs. We feel a
natural identity with Savannah sis our
State seaport, but our commercial rela
tions with Charleston have been of lon
ger standing, and are more-intimate,
and there is no disposition to depreciate
a single advantage she has acquired.—
Augusta is satisfied with her own ad
vantages, situate as she is, about equi
distant from the two points, and enjoy
ing semi-daily communication with each,
and with all the facilities for a success
ful competition with them for the trade
of the interior, by which she is more
immediately surrounded. Therefore we
arc willing to let Savannah and Charles
ton quarrel over the depth of their bars
until doomsday, provided we can man
age between the two points to get ship
ping enough to keep our market well
supplied, and to take our produce to its
destination.

Southern School Books.
Next to a liberal system of common
schools, nothing is of more importance
to the cause of Southern educa-j
tion than a series of text books,
adapted to the peculiarities of South- j
ern society, and to the development of
Southern mind. There is much that is
objectionable in the matter as well as
the sentiment of many of the books
now used as standard works on the va
rious sciences. The preparation and
publication of a series such as is need
ed, would involve an amount of capital
entirely beyond the reach of any pri
vate enterprise, and it certainly deserves
the fostering attention of our legisla
tive bodies. A publishing house of ca
pacity sufficient to employ authors to
prepare the books, and to print them
and wait for a market, would require;
$200,000 to $300,000. It is believed;
that such an enterprise could be made j
profitable; but granting that it yielded
no profit, the amount of good it wohld!
do, in stimulating the talent of ouri
people, and in giving a correct bias to |
minds now exposed to the false moral
dogmas of our enemies, is incalculable.
The Legislature will do nothing practi
cal for the cause of education—they
have too many pet projects of local
speculation to waste the money of the
State upon,and the 50,000 children grow
ing up in ignorance, must,we fear,look to
some other source than a Georgia Legis
lature for aid. We, therefore, suggest
that some of the influential friends oi
education in the State, take the field and
procure stock and organize a Southern
School Book Publication House. Pos
sibly our astute legislators would grant
a charter to such a work, and as there
is no banking feature in it, the Govern
or would sign the bill. Who will takt
the initiative in the movement ?

The Knickerbocker.
The Knickerbocker for December is
out in advance of the rival monthlies.—
The present number the last and the
best of the 52d volume, contains fifteen
original articles by standard authors,in
cluding Stoddard, O'Brien, Aldrich, Os
mond, Tiffany, &c. Dr. J. W. Pal
mer’s ‘ 'Parsec Neighbor” equals his
brilliant contributions to the Atlantic. —
“The Skeleton Monk,” a poem of six
pages, in the style of “Nothing to
Wear,” by De Haes Janvier fails little
if at all short of Butler's best produc
tions. “The Death of a Great Power,”
a sketch of the rise and fall of the East
India Company, by E. L. Godkin, now a
lawyer in New York, but long connect
ed with the English army in the Orient,
is altogether the most brilliant article
upon India ever produced in this coun
try. The Magazine opens with a steel
plate engraving of Washington Irving,
pronounced by himself to be the best
yet executed.
The Book notices and Editor's Table
are also much better than usual, espe
cially the admirable satiiical sketch,
“Is there a Napoleon Second among
us ?”
Under the management of Dr. Noyes,
who has charge of the body of the work,
the Knickerbocker has greatly im
proved. A high price is now paid for
contributions, and the Magazine is more
prosperous than in any previous stage
of its long history. A brilliant list of
contributors is engaged for the fifty
third volume, including Bryant, Hal
leek, Bancroft, Shelton, etc. As a
feature of his Table, Mr. Clark announ
ces a complete history of the Knicker
bocker Magazine, with reminiscences of
its contributors, to begin with the
January number.

Elder J, K. Ciraves.
We have endeavored to state fairly
all the facts connected with the late
difficulties in the Baptist Church at
Nashville, resulting in the exclusion of
Dr. Howell and his delegates from the
General Association, and the election
of Mr. Graves, moderator of that body.
We present below the statement of Mi-
Graves himself and trust that we shalll
receive no more unjust and absurd com
plaints from our Baptist friends, at our
course in the matter. The Dispatch is'
not a Baptist paper, and it certainly
entertains no prejudice against that
large and worthy branch of the Chris
tian Church. And we take occasion to
state, from personal knowledge, that
our correspondent “ Cumberland, is no
enemy of Mr. Graves, anil wrote of his
trial merely as a matter of news :
To our Friends in every County in
run South.— Our enemies, we have rea
son to believe, have industriously circu
lated it through almost every secular
paper in the land, that we have been
expelled from the First Church in Nash
ville for grossly immoral conduct, &c.
Will our friends do ns the favor to have
the falsehood corrected in every secular
paper they take, and have the facts sta
ted—i. e. that Eld. Howell and the par
ty in the First Church, that prosti
tuted the sacred name and authority of
the Church to slander and defame us,
have been excluded from the First
Church and from the General Associa
tion of Middle Tennessee and North
Alabama. The secular papers that pub
lished the mis-statement, if edited by
houest men, will take pleasure to cor
rect, and it is due to us. —Tennessee Bap

j. tion of the 4th article of the Constitu
,i tion in relation to opening the Slave
1 ; Trade.
1' Mr. Atkinson, of Camden (the intro
i j d'icer) addressed the House for some
. j minutes on the bill.
t Messrs. Dawson, Billups, Gibson, Col
! quitt and Spalding entered into it with
e i some zest, but as the bill was postponed
" i until Tuesday next, we will not trou
ej bte your readers with it at present. The
j signs of the times indicate that we will,
i on Tuesday next have a free fight of
I considerable warmth.
s j The Senate then adjourned until half
past nine o,clock Monday morning.
Ilovrt. —After the usual preliminaries,
e Mr. McAfee arose and informed the
l House that hiscolleague had arrived.—
. (Mr. Rice fills the vacancy occasioned by
the death of Mr. Julian, and on motion
the oath was administered to him.
Mr. Milledge —Speaker pro tan -an
’ nounced with becoming gravity that the
business in order this morning was to
. go to work and undo all that had been
, done on yesterday', (Laughter.) Sure
enough they went to work at the first
business.
To reconsider bill passed on yesterday
to compensate the Senate Committee on
the W. & A. R. R. Mr. Harris of Chat
ham said that There was an omission to
provide for the payment of the Clerk
and hoped the bill would he reconsider
ed so that it might be amended. The
motion to reconsider prevailed.
To reconsider a bill lost yesterday to
repeal an act rendering more certain
the payment of teachers of Poor Chil
dren—Reconsidered.
To reconsider the loss of a bill to ap
propriatee $15,000 to the Georgia Medi
cal College.
Mr. Diamond of DeKalb, said, Mr
President, people who have never
thought of this question much do not
know how much we owe to the Medical
Profession. Now, without it what are
we ? When pestilence invaded our sea
coast all ran, all deserted, but the
Physician—the Angel of Mercy—stood
the brunt of the fight. Sir they have
earned $150,000, aye. untold sums, and
should the State hesitate to aid them ?
I hope not.
Mr. Moore of Clark also spoke in fa
vor.
Mr. Mintz of Jackson, also remarked
that he had voted against the bill but
would now vote for reconsideration.
The bill was reconsidered. So you see
“ the first business” was all transacted.
Leave of absence was then granted to
several and was amended by inserting
“the whole House agreed to.”
The State aid bill was first in order
and some ot the friends of the measure
seeing the thinness of the House attemp
ted to push the bill to a vote. Which
was lost.
And the whole time was spout in
reading bills Ist and 2nd time.
The House then adjourned until 9 1-2
Monday morning.

Dentil from want of Sleep.
The question, how long can a person
exist without sleep, is one oftener ask
ed than answered, and the difficulties
of answering the question by experi
ment would 6eem to leave it un
solved. A communication to a British So
ciety would seem to answer inquiry,a de
scription of a cruel mode of punishment
peculiar to the Chinese. A Chinese mer
chant had been convicted of murdering
his wife, and was sentenced to die by
being deprived of sleep. This painful
mode of death was carried into execu
tion uuder the following circumstances:
The condemned was placed in prison
. under the care of three police guard,
who relieved each other every alternate
. hour, and who prevented the prisoner
from falling asleep, night or day. He
thus lived for nineteen days without en
joyiug any sleep. At the commence
ment ofthe eighth day.hissufferingwere
so intense that he implored the author
ities to grant him the blessed opportu
nity of being strangulated, guillotined,
burned to death, drowned, garrotod,
shot, quartered, blown up with gun- !
powder, or put to death in any conceiv
able way which their humanity or fero- j
city could invent, This will give a
slight idea of the horrors of death from 1
want of sleep.
Commerce of (lie United States.
The New York Journal of Commerce
presents, from official sources, a state
ment of the Foreign Commerce of the
United States, for the last fiscal year.—
These tables have been anxiously look
ed for, as they represent a period of un
usual fluctuations in the business ofthe
country. The following will show the
total foreign imports anti exports at all
the ports of the United States, for the 1
fiscal year ending June 80,1858: -
IMPOSTS FOK THK YEAR 1857-’6B.
Dutiable goods $20*2,293,875 ;
Free goods 61,044,779 ,:
Specie and Bullion 19,274,496 |
Total imports lor the year, $282,613,150 •
EXPORTS FOR THE YEAR 1857-’B.
Domestic produce $251,351,033 ;
Foreign produce,
and radze, 20,660.241 i
Domestic specie
ami bullion, $42,407,240
Foreign specie, 10,225,901
Total exports for the year, $324,644,431
This shows an excess of exports over
imports, of $42,031,271, an amount;
just about equal to the exports of do- j
mestic produce for the year wero $131,-
386,661 value in cotton. A compara- j
tive summary of the imports for the ;
last fourteen years, shows a falling off, -
in round numbers, of ninety two mil- j
lions in dutiable goods, and again in j
both free goods anti specie. The in
crease in free goods is made up entirely ;
of articles added to the free list by the j
■ tariff of 1857. The total imports are
$78,276,991 less than for the previous
. year, but in dutiable merchandise, the
total is less than for any previous year
since 1852. A comparative summary
of the exports for the same period shows
. that the filling off in the exports is
. much less than the decrease in imports,
, for while the latter have declined $78,-
276,911, the exports have decreased on- j
. |ly $38,316,261. Os this decrease, only'
. j $27,555,680 are in domestic produce, ;
{while the specie exports have fallen off |
.! $16,603,775, and tho reshipments of i
! foreign produce have increased.

Skto W. Fowlh—Sir : Yea are at liberty to use
the following statement Tor the benefit of the af
flicted : , _ .. .
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink ot
the grave. During my sickness I was attended
by three physicians in onr place, but received
no help. I also tried the various remedies re
commended for such complaints, but they af
forded me no relief. As a last resort, 1 was
persuaded to try Wislar’s Balsam of Wild
Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored
to better health than 1 have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Betsmy Pkriun.

sence of Dr. A. Strong, ol Honesdale, who is well

fiTlt is not often that we
notice editorially a patent medicine ; yet we feel
it a duty when we are convinced an article is
very meritorious to inform the public, that they,
I too, may be benefitted by its use, and to prevent
j them from using other articles that have no
merit in them.
Now' we wish particularly to recommend to
our readers, DR. SANFORD'S LIVifR INVIOO-j
RATOR, as an article t’-at has given benefit and j
performed cures, in our circle of acquaintance, j
that were little less than astonishing. It is par
ticularly recommended for all diseases of the
Liver, as it is a Liver Invigoratcr. Especially
• among our own children have we noted its ben
j efleial effects, where the little sufferers, from
bowel complaint, worms and other diseases in
! cident to children, have been made quiet and
J perfectly cured by the use of this article. It lias
j testimonials that none can doubt, for the cure of
Jaundice, Dyspepsin, 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. j
as it will save many hours of pain by its speedy i
use when disease first makes its attack — Ala- ;

|!T T It e G r eat P r oblem
Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—TIie dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single I
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric!
lluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude'
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to J
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was !
paralyzed and 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
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia. Tie-doloreux ■
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- j
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with I
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that!
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of]
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain!
or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition J
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev- j
ery member with the source of sensation, mo j
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit 1
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, i
invigorates and 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 ha: ds of j
medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir hus a diroct, im- 1
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite J
While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers 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 life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either ,
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailiug j
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of nervous depres-1
sion, the individual suffering from general de
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
willall find immediateaud permanent relief from ,
the use of this incomparable rc*n >vaior. 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
ference to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder ilself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil

ness. inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe
males, decay of the propagating functions, hys

whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli
