OEbramg Dispatch.
AUGUSTA, GEO:
Wednesday Evening, Nov. ill, 1838.
Progress of Legislation at the Capital.
It require the utmost care to perceive
a difference between the reported do
ings of the Legislature on one day, and
those on another. The major part of
the proceedings read like this :
A bill by Squirt, to enable the Ordi
nary of Dirt county to blow his nose—
or to perform some othei equally useful
ceremony. The monotony of thus
thing is occasionally broken by a bill
to relieve Mrs. Molly Foliv of the
pains and penalties of having been too
jolly. DiTORCKand Bigamy are too quite
important personages, and receive a
a liberal attention from the sympathis
ing hearts of members. We notice a
motion to amend one ot these relief
bills, by allowing all those suffering
from the consequences of a verdict of
divorce a vinculo matrimonii to marry
again at pleasure. We would amend
the amendment by inserting a provis
ion that no one should avail himself of
the relief furnished, until he should
have first received [thirty nine lashes
well laid on by the Sheriff of the county.
It is perhaps true in this world, that
nearly every bad thing is not altogeth
er bad—not without some good feature.
This general truth obtains, we conceive,
in regard to the attempts made and
successfully carried out to form from
ten to forty new counties every year.
One of the greatest pests of the day,
is the boring , which we all have to
suffer from the locust like army of peri
patetic map venders who infest the coun
try. Our worthy legislators will stop
that thing, more effectually by making
new counties than by any other means
which they could possibly devise. It
will be wholly out of the question to
make maps of the State, which will
have the least reliability, and the peo
pie knowing such to he the case, won’t
encourage peddlers by purchasing old
maps. So, though we may have a less
correct idea of the geography of our
own State than of Etheopia, still we
will be less swindled by map-sellers.—
Thus we console ourselves for the host
of evils growing out of this new coun
ty business—and we find it a great
thing to be a philosopher—when we
can’t be anything else. If it could be
fixed, that neither a new county, nor
the old ones, from which the new
might be set off, should have either
Senators or Representatives, we would
advocate the immediate formation of at
least seventy-five new counties; but we
confess we do not see how the arrange
ment could be brought about while we
have such hosts of patriots in the land
burning to do the State service !
But we have seriously no idea where
nor how the evils of our overgrown
Senate is to be checked. It will never
be done until the people are driven in
desperation to take the matter in their
own hands. In this matter, as in every
other that comes before the Legislature,
that course only will be followed, which
may meet the views and advance the
interests of the few.
The time prescribed for the present
session, forty days, is now half expired
and if one single act has passed promo
tive of the public good, we do not
know what it is. Mr. Moore's bill in
relation to free persons of color is dead,
because, simply, it might endanger the
prospects of its opposes for political pro
motion. To defect it, things have been
said at Milledgeville, which would have
been in better keeping with the spirit
of Massachusetts Legislation. But we
are satisfied that no man can be sus
tained, who plants himself frankly and
solely on the doctrine that slavery is
morally right, and a blessing to both
the white and black races. Even in Geor
gia he will be met with the assertion
that it is inhuman to place a negroj in
slavery I Verily the worst enemies of
Georgia’s institutions if not in spirit,
at least in practice, are to be found
among her own citizens. IVe grieve
to believe it, hut we are forced to think
that without a radical charge, slavery
will yet meet its doom at the hands of
those it lias blessed !
Stale Aid finds a strong opposition
from some of our test men. We look
upon the arguments which they put
forth as unanswerable, but we confess
to a belief that they will bo over
whelmed, if not at this session, yet
in one or two years. The railroad
conspirators are collecting their forces, j
bringing every influence to bear, and
as we have never yet known a sys
tematic attack upon the Treasury to .
fail in the leng run, either in the States |
orat Washington, so we believe the pies- '
ent will eventually win the battle.—
Conservatism is weak, grows weaker :
men tire in a battle when victory
brings but little of personal reward,
and they falter before the combined |
columns of those to whom success ,
promises large spoils. We entertain .
the greatest fears that in the space of a
- years the State will be involved in j
a debt of millions with no assets save i
the pockets of her citizens?
At present the most that can be hoped
for from the present Legislature is the
defeat for the time of some bad schemes, \
among which stand foremost the lease |
of the W. & A. Road, and aid from the \
State to ccrporated speculators.
The question of annual elections has \'
been mooted. We hope the plan of 1
yearly elections may be adopted, not!,
because we think that frequent elec- ,
tions benefit the political or social mor- ,
als of the people; but because as some ,
new ” len wou ld be elected each year, the
schemes for plunder and worthless leg- i
islation would be somewhat disorgan
- szed, and thus, while receiving nothing
good, we might escape some of the !
bad. o i
Thanks.
We thank the editor of the Savan
nah Jirtn for his prompt compliance
with our request for a duplicate copy of
his daily for the file in our counting
room. _
Destructive Fire at Cajie Cost.
A large fire occurred at Provincetown,
' Mass., on the night of the 18th, de
stroying the clothing store of Mr. I’oyxe,
the large fish store of Jesse Cook, the
store of A. S. Rowley, jeweller, and the
store and stock of A. S. Dudley. The
total amount of loss is about $12,000,
upon which there are various amounts
of insurance.
A German named John Woi.rr, hung

Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.
Washington, Nov. 19, 1858.
My Dear A .—After several weeks’ si- j
lence, I resume scribbling for your pet,;
the Dispatch.
Washington, this winter, will he, par:
excellence, gay. Notwithstanding the
lesson which was taught last year, and j
which the economical ones supposed j
would have a salutary influence upon:
the fast livers of the country, the same
style of regal splendor will still reign,
and the outside barbarians will still gaze
in wonder at the resources of metropol
, itau display.
If there is an earthly paradise, this
side of Paris itself, where coquetry, in
. all its fascinating changefulness, the'
strong-minded woman and the weak
minded one, can shine in the midst of a
galaxy created by their own real or
ostensible merits and charms, it is
Washington. Soirees flourish, cotillons
move, polkas whirl, parties illumine,
and all the concomitants of gas light
breathe and live in its atmosphere.—
The city of “Magnificent Distances” is
also magnificent in her social institu
tions. Woman reigns supreme, and all
classes find here their representative,
so that when eccentrics talk about wo
, man’s rights, they display the blindest
l ignorance, for some of the reasons for
special legislation and appointment may
. be found in a cabinet of lace, muslin
i and silk. Office holding also is not now
r \ very uncommon by the fair daughters
i; of Eve. At a soiree the other night a
r | dashing young Spanisli beauty was in
i' : troduced to me as a clerk in one of the
departments, having succeeded her
i husband who died at his post. We all
• admire the gallantry of the President,
whether we believe he will annex Cuba,
- or not.
1 The New Orleans English Opera
Troupe will he here next week.
Burton played four nights this week
to crowded houses.
, The weather has been cold here for
several days, almost as much so as any
weather usually is in Augusta. The
work on the Capitol extension is pro
gressing, but will be almost entirely
suspended during the winter months. —
lam disappointed in the new Hall of
the House of Representatives, hut the
Senate Chamber is all my fancy had
painted it. The Committee Rooms are
being frescoed, some- of them in the
most expensive and magnificent style—
others with probably the same expense,
but of a most ordinary chaiacter. # The
architect, Mr. Walters, who is, without;
doubt,able to carry out his designs—and
they are most admirable —has a milita
ry officer, Capt. Meigs, placed over him,
who desires his part of the honor, and
there is trouble which the President |
has not the nerve to settle, by deciding!
who shall be at the head of the work.—
he architect refuses to furnish plans,
if they are to he revised by another, and
he is right—l don’t believe in two headsj
for one body.
Many of the members are already |
here—some trying with their India
rubber persuasiveness to erace some of
the new party lines which now damage
so seriously the prospects of the success
ion. How they succeed, I trust to he
able to show in future communications,
as the plot thickens.
Yours truly, Quartz.

Poeclorhymlcs, So. I.
Dear Dispatch .—Under the above ti
tle, provided I can secure your approba
tion, I propose furnishing your readers
with an occasional original anecdote,
as to tlie meaning of the word, it be
ing well understood by all scholars, I
need not offer an explanation.
M. 0. Gull.
During the war talk, a short time
since, Bill Slake wanted to know from
| Tom Gill, whether it was to be an of
fensive, or a defensive war,“why neith
ier,” said Bill, “it is to he an expensive
war.”

Mississippi Bottom Land.
A correspondent of the Memphis Ea
s gle mentions a sale of bottom lands
f near Columbus, Ark. The entire pro
; pet ty sold for $141,000 on the block—
that is, the 1541 50-100 acres of land
and the 53 negroes, witli the teams,
stock and furnishing utensils thereon.
. There were purchasers on the spot from
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississip
-3 pi and Arkansas. The average of the
e whole is equal to SI,OOO a piece for the
s negroes, and about $54 per acre for the
, land.

HP From the N. Y. News.—
Nothing since the foundation of the City of New j
York has produced the excitement among all j
classes that PROF. WOOD’S HAIR RESTORA- 1
HVE has done. All classes, from the gray and
bald-headed sire, and the silver-haired matron, j*
down to the sprightly youth and beautiful maid
en with her glossy riuglets, are crowding the
Depot at No. 312 Broadway ; the former to be
permanently restored, and the latter to possess
themselves of that which will prevent the inroad
of envious time, and cause the appearance of
youth and beauty to linger to the greatest age.
Besides, all the popular Druggists in the country
; are constantly eegaged in dealing out the Res
torative to their customers, ‘-and the cry is still
; they come.”
Caution.—Beware of worthless imitations, as
several arc already in the market, called by dif
< ferent names. Use none unless the words (Pro
| fessor Wood’s Ilair Restorative, Depot St Louis,
Mo., and New York), are blown in the bottle,

? 1 was attacked with the Liver Complaiut,
f which apparently brought me to the brink ol
* the grave. During my sickness I was attended
1 by three physicians in our place, but received
i no help. I also tried the various remedies re- |
commended for such complaints, bi t they af*
• forded me no relief. As a lait resort, 1 was
persuaded to try Wistar'i Balsam of Wild
• Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
‘ ten years. Thi3 statement may be relied upon
1 as strictly true. Betsst Psants.
The above certificate was given in the pre
sence of Dr. A. Strong, oi Honesdale, who is well
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.

I;; It is isot often tliat hc
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,
■ too, may be benefltted by its use, and to prevent
f them from using other articles that have noj
‘ merit in them.
1 Now we wish particularly to recommend to j
our readers, DR. SANFORD’S LIVER INVIGO
> RATOR, as an article that has given benefit anil
’ performed cures, in our circle of acquaintance, \
that were little less than astonishing. It is par
ticularly recommended for all diseases of the
Liver, as it is a Liver Invigorator. Especially
: among our own children have we rioted its ben
- 1! efleial effects, whero the little sufferers, from j
5 , bowel complaint, worms and ether diseases in- j
i cident to children, have been made quiet and •
■; perfectly cured by the use of this article. It has i
1 ; testimonials that none can doubt, for the cure of;
! Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and such troubles as a!-]
ways follow a deranged Liver. A few such cases !
■ have come urn’ r our observation, where it '
seemed almost to work miracles.
Our advice to families is not to be without it, i
as it will save many hours of pain by its speedy
use when disease first makes its attack —Ala

s?f The Gr eat P r oblesa !
Solved?—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR- J
DHL.—'The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food into a '
life-sustaining clement, is relieved by a single
course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric 1 •"
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude I
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to' j
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was j
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the; 1
wholesome revolution created in the system, the j *
basis of activity, strength and health. I |
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the ;
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, TSc-doloreux j J
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter-1
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with i
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that | *
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a luck of! _
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain j
or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition 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 .
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
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 j i
woman has ever received from the hands of "
medical men.
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 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 ailing
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 ot a single organ j ‘
willall find immediate and permanent relief from!
the use of thi3 incomparable remvator. To j s
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it j 1
will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard
against that terrible milady. There are many ■
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- j
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach i
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The).
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re- j
iercnce to the causes, and will not only remove ■
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con-!
stitution
