(Getting psptclj. 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. Terms—s 3 per annum. Address Jno A. Gray, Id and 18 Jacob street, N. Y. 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 tist, Nov. 13<A. — Wilmington ami Manchester Rail road. The annual meeting of the stockhold ers of this road took place at Wilming ton on the 16th inst. Tho receipts of the road have declined, as compared with last year, in the sum of $80,824.- 10. The net revenue has been $129,- 124,25. The old board of Directors were re-elected. William S. Mullins, Esq., having declined a re-election as President, T. D.

Senate.— After the usual preliminaries, the rules were suspended, to take up a bill to require the Treasurer to make certain advances, out of funds already appropriated, to the payment of the members of the Legislature. Amend j ed by also adding $5,000 to the State I Printer. The bill, as amended, passed. BILLS INTRODUCED. j Mr. Arnold, of Henry—To require the i Legislature to adjourn on the 10th of December.

Jj SrECIAL ORDER FOR THE DAY. -I To repeal or strike out the 11th sec 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. Religious. A new Presbyterian church, costing $14,000, was dedicated in Lynchburg, Va., last Sunday,by Rev. B. M. Smith, of the Union Theological Seminary Rev. George W. Carter,pas tor of the Fourth Street .Methodist church, in the same city, preached his farewell sermon on Sunday night. He is about to take a Professorship in the University of Mississippi.

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.

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.

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- ; toona Sentinel. novß-dtClm j |!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 LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de s>ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys-1 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 any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute ly infallible.
