AUGUSTA, GEO:
Wednesday Kveiling, Dec. 8,1838.
A Blunder In tlie Klglit Direction.
' The Constitutionalist of this morning,
alluding to tho $25,000 paid into the
*#W>eaßury as the nett proceeds of the
State Road for November, says :
His partisans may be as blatant as they
please in hopes of getting alittle crumb of
patronage or a passing favorable notice
from his Excellency, butall their shouts
of praise cannot make even Gov. Brown
believe that his management of the
State road has been anything but a
great blunder in his administration.
We have never been considered
among the “partisans” of Gov. Brown,
but if his management of the State
Road has been “a blunder” it certainly
has been a most successful one, and it
is a little unfortunate for the State that
we have not had a few more such blun
ders in his position.
The fact that Mr. Spullock (who we
believe managed the road better than
most of his predecessors) predicted that
it should pay $350,000 during the past
year, while only $175,000 was paid in
to the Treasury is no evidence that the
management of the Road has been “a
blunder,” because (admitting Mr. Spul
lock’s estimate to he a fair one,) the
present administration paid $172,110.74
of debts incurred by former administra
tions, and had on hand September 30th,
1858, $59,820.70, after paying into the
Treasury $175,000, thus making the
nett earnings of the Road $405,937.48,
over $50,000 more than even Mr. Spul
iock's estimate, and this too in a year
when every department of business was
prostrated, and the receipts of the roa 1
during much of the year, far below
that of the same months the year pre
vious.
If odium is to be heaped upon Gov.
Brows by liis own party, they will have
to mount some other hobby than his
management of the State Road, for the
people have certainly very good evi
dence that in this respect his adminis
tration has been a signal success from
the beginning.
R. G. Harper’* Argument Against
the Slave Trade.
Mr. Harper, of Newton county, is,
we are told, a lawyer ®f clever abilities,
as well as of rising ambition. We learn,
from what we consider reliable authori
ty, that the present object of his aspi
ration isth6 seat at Washington, now
filled by the Hon. Josuua Hill. What
are the gentleman’s claims to he regard
ed as a “simon pure,” we do not
know—small, we should think, if we
may judge from his expressed senti
ments on a single topic.
Mr. Harper has sought to do the
country and himself a service by pub
lishing a pamphlet, of seventy-five
pages, “ Against tho policy of re-open
ing the African Slave Trade.” Wehave
read the essay—or, we may say, had
read it, for the argument against was ex
hausted, we flatter ourselves, before the
appearance of his contribution; and
wo were not, therefore, surprised to find
bat little of novelty in the ideas, the
words being the author's.
The manner in which this gentleman
has chosen to bring himself to notice,
reminds us of the young Indian brave,
who. to prove his worthiness of a posi- j
tion among the regular warriors of his ;
tribe, goes, alone, upon the warpath, ;
to put in practice, for the first time, i
the cunning which he has learned while
listening to the stories of his eldeis.—
Arrived near the camp of some unex
pecting enemy, he waits a favorable
moment; then, springing from his am- j
bush, implies the kuife with more zeal
than dexterity, and, if no avenger in- j
tercepts his retreat, bounds into the
circle at the council fire of his nation,
shakes the gory scalp of his victim and
demauds an immediate induction to the
rights and immunities of manhood and
championship.
Even so, Mr. Harper twirls a bundle
of scalps in the sight of the Seventh
District; the braiding has been artisti
cally performed ; things look favorable
for his advancement on the road to
chieftainship all things, save one,
which may defeat his hopes, for unfor
tunately the blood on these trophies of
valor, is quite dry, much of it evidently
several years old; truth to tell, these
locks were taken by other warriors and
will hardly pass for a fresh article. We
do not think the gentleman will be ad- i
mitted to Congress as a reward for this ;
first foray. j
It is not our present purpose to enter ,
upon a review of the work. When the ]
gentleman shall take the position as a s
candidate before the people of his dis
trict, as we learn it is in contemplation
of his friends that he shall do next j
year, we will make some excerpts from
his writing to serve us iu the place of ,
texts, whereon me way preach a few
sermons for the edification of his possi
ble constituency.
Finally, we must say, that we arc
glad of the publication of the pamph
let. All we desire is, that truth may
be vindicated. We are perfectly willing
that the people may see what sort of
an argument is the best that can be
made against the Slave Trade. 0 1
Accident.— We regreat to learn, as 1
we do from the Nashville Banner that 1
Mrs. Dr. Eve and her nephew,Mr. Dun
can, were severely injured on Wednes- '
day last by being thrown from a buggy.
The vehicle which they occupied was <
overturned by coming in collision with <
a frightened horse attached to L another
buggy, in which two gentlemen were
seated.

Post Offices.
The Charleston Courier, contains a
lengthy abstract from the Report of the
Post Mader General, from which we ex
tract as follows:
Post OmcES.—The whole number of
Postoffices in the United States on the
10th June, 1858, was 27,977, of which
100 are “Presidential." During the
last fiscal vear 2121 new offices were
1 established, and 730 Postoffices were
. discontinued ; showing a net increase
of 1391 offices for the year. The ap
pointments of Postmasters for the year
numbered 8284; of these 4595 were to fill
vacancies caused by resignation, 998 for
removals, 278 for death, 292 for change
of names and sites, and 2121 for new
offices. The whole number of Postof
fioeson the Ist December, 1808, was 28, ~
673.
Routes and Distances.— There were
in operation ou the SOth June, 1858,
8296 routes, under 7044 contracts,
showing distances as follows, in dif
frent classes of service :
MILES. ;
Rail Road, # 24,431
Steam Boats, 17,043 j
Coaches, 58,700 j
Inferior Grades, 165,429
The total annual transportation was
78,765,491 miles, at a cost of $7,795,-j
418.
Where they were Belli.—Of the 83
vessels which ■ compose our navy, 15 j
were built in Philadelphia, 10 iu New
York, 8 in Washington, D. C., loin
Norfolk, Ya.; 17 in Boston, Mass.; 7 in
Portsmouth, N. H.;l in Erie, Pa.;l in
Pittsburg, Pa.; 1 transferred from the
Wav Department, and eight were pur
chased.
We have no means of knowing where
the timber came from of which these j
ships were made, but we have no doubt
the principal portion of it was shipped
from our Southern pine forests. Will
the day never come when ship building
| will be carnied ou in our own naval de
pots, when we can have a market at home
for the immense quantities of timber
to be found in our forests iu the low
country ? Or does it not accord with
‘ the policy of our Federal Fathers to al
' j low anything to he done save at the
'! other end of the Republic ?
.! A South Carolinian’s Views on Mas
sachusetts Hospiiality. —Officer H. IV.
, Hendricks of Charleston, S. C., who
was so unfortunate as to he the inno
j cent cause of the death of the City
i Marshal of Worcester, has written a
letter to officer James McFarland of that
city, in which he says :
e> a o Can I be otherwise than
grateful and ever remember your be
j loved city ? Indeed, sir, I did not, dar
j ed not, look for such kind treatment at
! the hands of your citizens. I felt that,
■: as the relations of our institutions were
• exactly opposite, that in my deep dis
t tress, my trouble with justice would he
s great, and the iron grasp of revenge,
made tight upon me. In fact, a num
ber of my friends since my return home,
are astonished it was not so. But how
i vastly different, and how changed my
. mind now of the people of Massachu
. setts, and how changed also is that of
many of my friends. It is the first
time of my personal intercourse with
! the people of your State, and 1 hope it
I will not be last, though the first was
. attended with an unhappy circum
, stance.”
; j The Cotton Wants or China. —The
London Economist estimates that with
I I free commercial intercourse under the
i late treaty with China, the four hun
dred millions ot Chinese alone, will re
| quire the whole cotton crop of the Uni
ted States to supply their wants. To
j say the least, the opening of this new
; market will add greatly •to the cotton
j power, and materially to the value of
! the South and to the productive labor re
| quired to raise it.
ftT° On Saturday, the 27th ult., at

During the burning of Eckle’s Car

Juries in Russia.— The latest advices
from Russia inform us that it is propos
ed to inaugurate there the system of
trial by jury. The Czar, it is said is en
amored of many features of the Ameri
can system of Government, and partic
ularly likes the working of our jury
system. This will be a notable reform
for despotic Russia ; and it is to be ho
ped that the system will, in Alexander's
dominions, escape the corruptions that
have crept into the system in some
some parts of the United States.

The Altered Condition or Ireland. —
A London letter, of Nov. 5, says:
A very powerful testimony to the
altered condition of Ireland has just
been borne by his eminence Cardinal
Wiseman, who, on Wednesday evening
last, gave a lecture at the Hanover
Square Rooms, on behalf of the Society
of St. Vincent de Paul. His subject
was “Ireland—lmpressions of a Recent
Visit.” A thing, he said, which stuck
him, was “the healthy appearance, the
good clothing and comfortable und
manly hearing of the people in every
part he went to. There was none of
that extreme destitution of which so
much had been said and written in the
various stories relating to Ireland.
Hogs. —Large droves of the finest
hogs we have ever seen are now daily
brought into the city by the Tenn., and
Alabama and Nashville and Chattanoo
ga Railroad. The great majority of
them are ‘put through' by the Slaugh
ter houses here. It is not recorded that
our city will not yet become a pretty
considerable porkopolis. —Hashviit Ban
ner.
Hog Shipment.— During the week past
the shipments of hogs from the Virgin
ia Depot at this point have been only
about fifteen hundred head, and the
total for the season has not been half so
great as up to the same time last year.;
Whether this is attributable to the short
hog crop in the hog raising districts;
west of us, or whether drovers are hoi- i
ding back for better prices, we do not I
know, but have reason to believe that
the former is the true state of the case.
There have been some lots of pork of
fered at this point by raisers in the vi
cinity, but little as yet has been sold,
and there seems a disposition on the
part of buyers to advance the price.-=r j
Bristol ( Va.) Hews, Ist,
It is said that early in the next ses- j

■ Mobile, Dec. 7.— The three masted
schoonei Susan, Harry Maurry, master,
- sailed on Sunday morning last at one
j i o’clock, with 140 passengers and a good
1 supply of provisions, without a clear
ance. It is presumed she was on a coast
- ing voyage, and probably destined for
some port in Florida. The schooner
was overhauled before reaching Mobile
. Point by an armed boat, commanded by
• Capt.|llorrison, and Lieut. White of the
revenue cutter McLellaud, and stopped.
The passengers threatened the cutter
i men and would not allow them to come
on board of the schooner. The passen
i gers and schooner have been stopped ;
1 and the government officers are now
waiting for instructions from Secretary
, Cobb to know what to do. This inter
ference has caused considerable excite
ment among the fillibuster people, and
their friends.
The government secret agent Wilson,
of Ohio, left suddenly a few days ago,
as there was very evidently a disposi
ion among some person s to treat him
harshly—perhaps tar and feather him.

fI V§“ The Great Prohlemj
Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach i
’ has lost the power of duly converting food into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
coarse of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
(J fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
j nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to i
[J j the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
0 paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health. |
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by tlie f
n acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tlc-doloreux ;
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fit 3, threatened with
1 paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that i
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain j
or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition
j. of the wonderful machinery which connects ev* j
ery member with the source of sensation, mu
g lion and thought—derives immediate benefit
1 from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
* woman has ever received from the hards of
- medical men.
j Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite I
' While it renews the strength or the digestive j
powers it creates a desire for the solid material;
which Is to be subjected to their action. As an
a appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
e If long life and the vigor necessary to its en-!
i- joyraent are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
r 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- J
a sion, the individual suffering from general de ]
r bility or from the weakness of a single organ;
£ willall find immediate and permanent relief from
the use of this incomparable ri-mvator. To;
j those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard ;
against that terrible malady. There are many
7 perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
‘ tion that they think themselves beyond thereach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
; Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
} ; ierence to the causes, and will not only remove!
} | the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken cor.-'

HT A JLiver Kemedy-The !
Liver, according to Physiologists, occupies in
our human economy a place second only to the j
heart, and consequently is one 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 of health, and free from all bodily ills.
Dr. Sandford s INVTGORATOR is a great Regu
lator of the Liver. It instills into it new life
and vigor, strengthens it, and invigorates it, 11
curing the fountain from whence so many
streams of sickness flow. We say to all who I
are 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 Liter Ixvigorator. decl m
