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 himself on Wednesday, at St. Louis, by drawing a three strand waxen end tightly about his neck, underneath a woollen comforter, and attaching it to the top of the bed post near the door. The Mississippi river, whose late rise had given some apprehension, is again reported falling. ggf* Tho Edgefield Advertiser notices the suicide, on Tuesday, 16thinst.,of Miss Sarah Towles, daughter of Mr. We. Towles, by hanging herself. She was residing at Mrs. Key’s, in Edge field district. fgf” The Savannah Netvs says that Wm. McNiciiols was killed in a board ing house in that city, on Monday night. 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.” ■•> I gif The .Mississippi Senate has passed a bill prohibiting, after the first of Jan i uary next, the circulating in that State jof all bank notes of the denomination of twenty dollars and under. The Atlanta Intelligencer of yes iterday morning, states, upon “pretty 'high authority," that the Hon. Howell I Cobb has accepted the appointment of 1 Minister to Franee. ' 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. Mllleilgevllle Correspondence. Thursday, Nov. 23d. ) , 91-2 o'clock, A.

Keenan, in which consi derable feeling was exhibited, and on , the vote, tlie hill was lost. The House then adjourned to to-morrow morning. Lotteries Out West. Ten persons engaged in the sale of lottery tickets, were arrested in Cincin nati, Ohio, lately. The Gazette says : “ The affidavits upon which warrants ■ were issued, for these parties were all | ■ made by Frederick Todenbire, a Ger-; i man mechanic, who relates his expert-! ence in the lottery business with emo ; tiou. He says he has been purchasing ’ tickets for years—that he spent all he t earned, and all he could borrow, in these ruinous speculations—that lie has impoverished himself and family to , such a degree that they have frequent ly had to live upon a single meal a day, j 1 and that of a most scanty character; ' in short, that he had become almost a; • maniac upon the subject of drawing aj . prize, and at last getting his hard-earn-l ed money back. He has been driven to | tlie verge of despair and destruction,! I and having become convinced of the! wide-spread ruin which the lottery bu-; siness is inflicting upon the community,! : is determined to break it up. Todeii-! 1 , bier assures the officers there is at; j least a hundred within thdrirole of his; | own acquaintance, who aredai!y spend-! • ing their earnings iu the vain hope of eventually drawing a fortune.” • David Barclay, one of the oldest! ’ inhabitants of Richmond died onTues-i ‘ day. • BY TELEGRAPH.

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 toona Sentinel. nov3-<J4clm i 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 LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush j of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil- j' ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of?elf-de-j - siruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dy.s- j pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys- i teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impoteucy, constipation, etc., from] whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli- 1 ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute- 1 ly infallible.
