(Bni'mq TVispatck 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. HT" A Prospectus is out for a new pa- j per in Richmond, Va., to be called the “Index,'’ by B. M. DeWitt, Esq. 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 Rough and Ready Railroad Station, in Chambers county, Ala., Mr. William S. Hill was shot and killed by James M. Kennedy, Esq. Both the parties live near Oak Eowery. Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. Knoxville, Tenn., 1 December 6th, 1858. j During the burning of Eckle’s Car penters Shop, on last night, McFar land’s Jewelry Store was broken into by burglars, and robbed of about $2,500 in watches and jewelry. No time for further particulars of fire or robbery. Holston. 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. f—..*.. C. R. Hansford, Esq., was re elected Mayor of Montgomery on Monday, by a handsome majority. Lewis Johnson Esq., an old and high ly respectable citizen of Dallas county, Ala., died on the night of the Ist inst. Affray In Cllattailnoga. The Atlanta Intelligencer learns from a passenger, who came down on the State Road train on Saturday night last, that H. L. Winq, a conductor on the W. & A. R. R., was struck in the head with a rock, or some other dangerous instru ment, on Saturday evening last, in Chattanooga, by a man named Gath. It appears, according to our informa tion, that Gates was a fireman on Wing’s train, and that Wing had re ported him as getting drunk. tW Two negro children were mur dered by their mother in Trenton, Ga., on the 27th ult.

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 sion of Congress, a bill will be intro- j duced, and strongly supported by the Northwest, granting land and money to the three principal railroad routes to the Pacific in proportion to the amount of private capital that may be invested 5n each.

Nicaragua Emigrants* ■ 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.

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.-' ' j stitution 5 !

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 I HFMr. Editor:—Please an-j ! nounce ALPHEUB M.
