AUGUSTS GEO:
TaV«l»y Evening) »«=• 7,1338.
!*o Room for Stories.
Several of our lady readers have
asked us why we have stopped publish
ing stories in the Dispatch. In reply to
J story-reading friends we must say
until the Legislature adjourns w>
lot spare space for tales, our corres
pondence occupying all the room we can
spare for a long article. It is our aim
to make the paper varied in its contents
with something to suit the tastes of all,
and as soon as the protracted annual
farce is over at Milledgcville, we lias e
in store some capital stories for the
winter campaign.
Aa Far South ns Richmond.
The telegraph informed us, a few
days ago, that the President’s Message
had been sent to the Press “as far South
asFdchmond.” And why should it be
sent to Richmond, and not to other
Southern cities? Augusta has advan
tages over any other city South for the
rapid and wide dissemination of news.
The Evening Dispatch furnishes the
news to Florida twenty four hours in
advance of the papers from any other
city—and Augusta papers have double
the country circulation of the papers
of any other city in this part of the
South, and we do not see any fairness
in this discrimnation against them.—
■With this arrangement the Richmond
papers will he able to circulate the mes
sage at our own door almost as quick as
we can do it. We protest against such
partiality.
More Screws Looses
A subscriber writes from Marietta,
Ga., that he has not had our paper for
seven days, and that he had written a
letter a few days before, on other busi
ness, at the same time alluding to the
irregularity with which our paper reach
es there. His first letter has not yet
come to hand, and we assure him that
our State Road packages are deposited
in the Post Office hero every day before
dark, and the fault of their miscarriage
is not ours. Os course we are more
annoyed by it than our subscribers can
possibly be, for we are losing money by
the operation.

from Washington county, Ohio, says

morning of the 27th, and in the after
noon it was twelve inches deep on the

A friend of ours on his way South,
avers that this is one of the best hotels
lie has met in his travels. We have for
gotten the landlord’s name, hut in be
half of our Alabama friend, we advise

Old North State, to try the Warrenton

Col. Crowe.
The Pulaski (Tenn.) Citizen notices a
visit from Col. C. C. Crowe, an orator
and attorney of much promise in Ma

unto himself a wife, and was on a visit
to his old home in Tennessee. We met
him last summer, while going and re
turning from a trip to Tennessee, hut
we supposed he was “filibustering” in a
different cause. Success and prosperity
to him and his bride.

Independent ’Older Sons of Malta.
This ancient and honorable Older,
which derives its origin from the
Knights of Malta of the fifteenth cen
* tnry, seems to have become very popu
lar throughout the lcDgth and breadth ,
of our land, and in all our large cities i
numbers its Brothers by the thousand.
We are pleased to learn that a Lodge is
goon to he opened in our city, that ,
those who desire can become members <
of this fraternity, which has its friends i
in every known corner of the earth. —
In England the Lodges are numerous,' <
and it is said His Royal Highness Prince ;
Albert, has for many years performed
the arduous, yet highly honorable du- <
ties of aG. R. J. A., with what success, I
the archives of the Grand Lodge, as well 1
as the History of his country bear wit
ness. The Emperor Napoleon has re- |
cently received the equally honorable <
degree of G. S. J. A. We are surprised
that some Brothers have seen fit to ques- 1
tion his qualifications for this high of- (
ce. His residence in this country, his ]
sufferings, and the noble fortitude
which he displayed in the darkest mo
ments of his life, in our opinion emi- '
nently qualify him for a faithful dis- 1
charge of the duties connected with it.
In our own country we find the name of
Vice President Breckenrige recorded on
cur Rolls, as having received the high
and honorable degree of P. G. C , and
that of Douglas the “Little Giant” of
Illinois as P. V. G. C. It is only after
long years of service in the cause of
the Order, that these degrees are con
ferred. A meeting of Delegates from
the different Lodges in the world has
"been discussed, and for our part we are
highly in favor of such a meeting. An
interchange of sentiments between the
different Lodges of the world would re
sult in much benefit to the Order. We
Jsope some action will be taken in the
.matter at the next meeting of the!
, G.W ! Lodge of the United States. 1
Q- I
_ Mtllertgevllle I'orreapomlcnce.
Monday Morning, Dec. t.th.
Senate- Ineffectual efforts were made
to reconsider some of the work of yes
terday. , , . . ,
ihe rules were suspended to take up
the General Appropriation Bill. The
bill read the first time.
The consideration of the hill to re
move the Penitentiary to some other
site, was resumed.
Mr. Briscoe had the right to the floor.
He continued his remarks where lie had
left off on Saturday last. He ably sus
tained his former reputation as an able
debater. He was followed by Paine and
Billups.
T here is no doubt in the minds of the
friends of Milledgeviile, that the effort
is but an attempt, on the pait of Allan
ta, to obtain the Capitol. Milledgeviile
owes as much to the Hon. W. W Paine,
of Telfair aud the Hon. Mr. Billups, ol
Morgan, as to any other Senators in her
defence. Mr. P. introduced this idea,
and it had a great influence in killing
the bill.
Mr. Reynolds, of Newton, also gave
the hill a severe handling. There is
not a Senator who watches the Treasu
ry with more vigilance than Mr. li.—
The ayes were 41, and the nays 68, and
the bill was lost.
The Senate then resumed tire consi
deration of a hill to compel the banks
to make their returns.
On the motion to adopt the substitute
offered by the Committee ou Banks,
Mr. Gibson made a tine argument.
Mr. Cooper, of Scriven, then follow
ed. He vhought the principal dissatis
faction arose from the banks having re
fused to lend money to Tom, Dick and
Harry. Mr. Fambr'o offered an amend
, ment.
The Senate then adjourned until 3
' o’clock, P. M., without taking any
action.
In the afternoon, Mr. Atkinson, of
Camden, obtained the floor. He said
that he only desired to answer a re
mark made by the Senator from Scriven.
That gentleman said that discontent
now existed only because the banks had
refused to lend money to Tom Dick and
Harry-. He was elected by- Tom, Dick
and Harry. The complaint did not
arise as the Senator from Scriven would
have the Senate understand. The com
plaint arose from two facts, one that
these banks continued, contrary to law,
to lend Tom, Dick and Harry money at
fifteen, twenty or thirty per cent., and
the other was that when these men got
the notes of these banks into their]
pockets, they know not whether they
are worth the paper that they are writ
ten on. They complain of this, and lie,
as the Representative of Tom, Dick
and Harry, demanded that these com
plaints should he heard.
Mr. Stiles, of Chatham, said that he
arose with as much difidence as he
ever did, to address any Assembly of
; the character in his whole experience.
, He had come here, direct from his
, summer home, iu the mountains, and
he had not been to tire county of Chath
am since his election. The opinions
e that he would now give, were given
without consultation with his constitu
ents. He first reviewed the history of
the last panic and of others years before,
i, He attributed the whole of them to
s over trading. He then asked the Sen
■_ ate if, by any law, they could prevent
over-trading ? Was it the fault of the
Banks of Georgia? Not at all. The
e Banks of Georgia never suspended until
e the Banks iu New York, all the North
n eru Banks, besides the Banks of our
sister States, South Carolina, Tennessee
and Alabama, had all suspended before
tlie Banks of Georgia suspended. And
a does the Legislature desire the Banks
r of Georgia to pay specie when no bank
around them pays specie? Would it
not he a suicidal policy iu the State of
3 Georgia to compel her banks to empty
i their vaults into the vaults of the
t Banks of New York ? He thought it
would, and he also thought that the
", Legislature of 1857 had done right in
ll their action on this subject.
a He then asked the Senate if they
r were prepared to abolish the banks !
He thought not.
The lateness of the hour at which
t this was delivered, precludes the possi
-3 bility of our making a fuller report.— j
The Honorable Senator from Chatham j
is no unworthy successor of the Hon. j
’ John E. Ward.
Mr. Whitaker, of Fulton, asked Sen-1
ators whether they would stultify them-j
selves by passing a law explanatory of
the Bank Bill passed last session. He :
hoped not.
On the adoption of the substitute, ]
the ayes and nays were called. The
ayes are 18, the nays are 9Q, so the sub- j
stitute was lost.
The next substitute was that offered i
by Mr. Stubbs, of Bibb.
Mr. Stubbs obtained the floor and I
consumed an argument on the subject, j
when the hour for adjournment having |
arrived, the Chair declared the Senate
to stand adjourned until 7 o'clock, P. i
M.
During the afternoon, several times
the lobby made too much noise, and!
the Chair (the Hon. T. L. Guerry) was
compelled to order the Messenger to pre- j
serve order.

Synopsis of President’s Message.
g Washington, Dec. 6.—The President
[ commences his message by congratula
e ting the country on the contrast of the
• agitation which existed in Kansas only
one year ago, with the peace and quiet
which now prevails.
The President refers to the Lecomp
-1 ton Constitution, and re-afrirms his for
- mer positions on that subject. He
o thinks if Kansas had been admitted
with that Constitution, the same quiet
would have been restored at an earlier
f day. Being, however, perfectly willing]
3 to acquiesce in any other constitutional
mode of settlement, he signed theKng-]
t lish bill ; and expresses the opinion
I ■ that when Kansas again applies for ad-
I mission as a State, she will have the
1 ; number of population required by that ]
} ! bill.
. j He goes at length into a discussion
t 1 of the questions involved in the admis
i! sion of new States, and recommends;
j ] the passage of a general law, by which ]
I I no new State shall be admitted unless;
r she has a population sufficient to entitle
’ her to one Representative.
The President congratulates Congress 1
i '
1 on the settlement of our Utah difficul- ,
ties without the effusion of blood.
Ho compliments the conduct of the;
. officers of the army in Utah, and ex-:
\ presses satisfaction at the course pursu
-1 ed by Gov Alfred Camming, and honor- j
‘ bly mentions Col. Kano.
1 In relation to tlie treaties recently
• made between this country and the go
s vernments of China and Japan, the]
1 President considers, particularly in the ]
j j case of China, that our neutral policy !
..! contributed much in our favor. Both!
o treaties, he says, will prove of great
i- importance to the trade and commerce 1
of this country.
® He congratulates the country on the
il abandonment of the right of search,
l- on the part of Great Britain,
r In reference to Central American as- ]
e j fairs, lie says that negotiations are still j
j progressing, and he lias not yet aban
s doned all hopes of success. He refers to
k what lie stated in his message last year
Mto Congress, and in that connection
'M states'that his views on the subject of!
■ e ] the Isthmus routes accord with the pol .
t j icy heretofore announced by Secretary J
e j Cass. His object only is to keep the I
11 ! routes open, and desires no other privil-:
j eges for the United States than we shall j
’ j expect other nations to enjoy. But this j
| government will not consent that those!
i j Isthmus routes shall be closed by the I
■| imbecility of nations which reside nearj
’ f them. )
Tlie President regrets that the Nica
I ragua route has been closed, and refers :
to tlie necessity of enforcing our claims 1
! against Nicaragua and Costa Rica. 1
Mexico, the President says, is in a s
! condition of civil war, and scarcely any 1
j hope exists of her restoration to a per- 1
i inanent government. He refers to the j
j causes which led to a rupture of our 1
| diplomatic relations with Mexico and j 1
j awards a handsome compliment to the J '
| Hon. John Forsyth for his services as j 1
Minister there. |'
If it were not for the mere hope of! c
| obtaining justice from the liberal party j c
}in Mexico—a party which now appears £
|to he approaching to power—the Presi- *■
! dent says he would recommend taking
! possession of such portion of that coun
try, as would prove a sufficient indem- j
nity to us for ail our claims and griev- j
ances.
In North Mexico, bordering on our
Territory, there are other considerations
which claim our attention. We are in- j
terested in the peace of that section, In ,
| that neighborhood reside lawless Indi- (
j dians, who enter our settlements in |
| Arizona, and there seems no other way (
| that this trouble or eifficulty can be re
| moved, than by establishing military (
] posts in Sonora aud Chihuahua. He re- .
j commends this to be done, regarding ,
Mexico as in a state of imbecility and ,
| anarchy.
As to Spain, the President refers to i
j the causes which delayed the appoint- i
I ment of a successor to the Hon. A. O.
! Dodge, former Envoy Extraordinary
! j and Minister Plenipontentiary, and says
J that Mr. Preston, his successor, will go
out with full powers to settle all diffi
■ culties with Spain as soonj as possible.
The President says that Cuba ought
j-l to belong to this country; and re
' commends that steps he taken for itß
s 1 purchase. As we have acquired all new
i territory by honorable negotiation, this
B should not be an exception,
j In regard to the tariff laws the Presi
i dent reaffirms his former opinion in fa
vor of specific duties on certain articles,
y and submits the whole question to the
6 enlightened consideration of Congress
j The President calls attention to the
r proposed Pacific railroad, and refers to
1 the suscesss of the overland mails as
! showing the practicability of the route.
Among other subjects the President
| reiterates his former recommendation
to establish a Territorial government in
i Arizona.

Synopsis of UepaiTment Reports.
Washington, Dec. 6.—Secretary Cobb
I of the Treasury Department, says tiiat ;

of the War Department, gives it as his
opinion that the Nevajo and Camanche j 1

commends but few new fortifications, ! j
and those only at exposed points. His
estimates for the next year are $3,000,- ,
000 less than laEt year.
President's Itlessngj.
Washington, Dec. G.—l send you the
following, in addition to the synopsis ;
transmitted to day.
The President specially desires Con- '
gress to leave no outstanding difficulties
with Great Britain. No other two na
tions can do each other more good, or
more harm. Nicararagua presents the
only difficulty in the way of the closest
bonds of amity between England and
the United States.
Speaking of Cuba, the President says
that Cuba officials have again and again
insulted our flag, and injured our citi
zens. Diplomatic delays have gone on
year after ysar, and no repiration has
been received, except in the Warrior {
case. He wants the Captain General of:
Cuba to be invested with the necessary
power and authority to settle all mat
ters in dispute between us, without tan
talizing references to Madrid. The fact
is, continues the President Cuba, in her
present condition, is a constant source
of injury and annoyance to the Ameri
can people; she caused the recent trou
ble with Great Britain and this country,
which grew out of the visitation of our
merchant ships.
We should not, if we could, acquire
Cuba by any but honorable means, and
the President urges that repeated offers
be made to purchase Cuba. So long as
we do not exercise control over that
Island, it will continue to place our re
lations with Spain in jeopardy. Spain
need not be ashamed or fastidious about
selling Cuba—Napoleon Bonaparte sold
> Louisiana.
Congress should authorize the Presi
dent to make a cash advance immedi
ately on concluding the purchase of Cu
ba. In the meantime, the Spanish
Amistead claims are just, and they
I should be paid.
Mexico owes to the people of the
II nited States about $11,000,000, but
she is bankrupt and so powerless that
I she cannot protect her citizens from
l forced loans, or our frontiers from ag
’ j gressions by her lawless people. liepri
j -als on our part are not only in accord
. ance with international law, but are tire
oniv means of averting actual wav.
The anarchy prevailing in Mexico,
| prevents the settlement of the Tcrrito-;
j ry of Arizona.
The President recommends that this j
| government shall assume a temporary
protectorate over Northern portions of
Chihuahua and Sonora, and establish
military posts thereon, to be withdrawn
! when ever Mexico is capable of govern
j ing herself.
The political condition of the Isthmus
| is of the utmost importance to us. The j
j President advises all conflicting transit j
Companies to settle their difficulties be- j
' fore some competent tribunal, but says
j that the commerce of tire world should j
! not be c< mprlled to wait until such dtf- j
j ferences M ere satisfactorily adjusted. ’
Nicaragua may charge a reasonable j
| sum for the right of way through her ■
Territory, and assess fair custom house
charges, if she will, but she must not
close the route to our possessions on the
Pacific. If Nicaragua does close this'
route, the President asks for the au
: thority of Congress to employ the land f
j and naval forces of the country to keep
the route open when required, and the
troops to be withdrawn when the neecs- I
sity ceases.
The President recommends the same ;
i policy to be applied to the Panama and !
Tehuantepec routes.
L T nless Cosia Rica and Nicaragua j
makes an early and peaceful settlement
;of the difficulties existing between us,
]it only remains for us to employ the '
' necessary force to command a settle-;
ment.
The Government of Granada has of-1
; sered a new treaty which will remove j
iall difficulties with that State. She'
probably will not again attempt to en
| force a tax on our passengers and com
! mearce.
With the government of Brazil our
relations are of a friendly character.— !
jWe are in diplomatic correspondence I
with her, and urging her to abolish her j
1 high duties, as well as urging a settle
ment of the claims of our citizens
against her.

The Great Proli!er:i
So!Veil:— r.R. MORSE'S IXTIGORATOTO COR
| dial.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
! lirs lost the power of duly converting food Into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
j course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
i fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
i nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralysed and unstrung, becomes, under the
j wholesome revolution created in the system, the
' basis of activitv. strength and health. ,
The nervous sufferer, while tormerted by the *
! acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
|or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague tor
! rors, wakened bv periodical fits, threatened with <
1 paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
! terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack ol ■
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain ,
or disability arisingfrom the ucnaturalconditiou
; of the wonderful machinery which connects ev-1
1 cry member with the source of sensation, mo
|lion and thought—derives immediate benefit 1
from the useof this Cordial, which at once cairns,,
: invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
| organization.
' Females who have tried it are unanimo* sin
| declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that j
'woman has ever received from the ha r ds of
medical men.
Morse's Invigorating Elixir has a direct, lm-.
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
j appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopeia.
If lor.glile and the vigor necessary to its en
. joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
! precious worth
Its beneficial effect? are not c nflnbd to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the aiding i
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn .
man or business, the victim of nervous depres-.
j =ion, the individual suffering from general de I
bilily or from the weakness of a single organ ,
wiilall find, immediate and permanent relief from
the use of this incomparable ren >vafor. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it s
■ will prove a complete an l unfailing safe guard
1 against that terrible milady. 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 i
.'erence to the causes, and will not only remove
| the disorder itself, hut rebuild the broken con
stitution

gT A Liver Remedy.—The
Liver, according to Physiologists, occupies in j
our human economy a place second ©nly to the
heart, and consequently is odc of the greatest
dispensers of health and happiness, or sickness!
and disease. To keep the liver in the proper
performance of its duties is to keep the system
in a state ot health, and free from all bodily ills.
Dr. Sandford's INVIGORATOR is a great Regu
lator of tub Liver. It instills into it new life
and vjgor, strengthens it, and invigorates it,
curing the lountain from whence so many
streams of sickness flow. We say to all who
nre troubled with any derangement of the Liv
er, such as dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache,
Billiousness or debility of system, do not fail to
try Dr. Sanford's Ijvkk Tnvigorator. decl m
