AUGUSTA, GEO:
Thursday IS veiling, Dec. 9, ISSS.
TelinunteiK-c Route.
It is becoming apparent that for all
practical purposes this American Route
is bound to be a favorite one for all the
Atlantic seaports, as well as for Oregon,
Columbia, and the numerous territories
woon to become populous States. It will
possess many advantages over the Pa
nama Route, reducing the sea voyage
about one-half, and shortening the time
some ten or twelve days. The N. 0.
Picayune thinks that the principal Cali
fornia trade with the United States will
take this route, both from its expedi
tiousness, and from the intimate com
mercial relations between California
and New Orleans.

The first special business was, a bill
to impose additional penalties on the
several Banks of this State, to make!
them comply with the Act of 1857. |
The committee reported against the I
passage of the bill, Mr. Hillyer of!

He was in favor of separating the ex

Banks furnish one, say the circulating
medium, and brokers the Exchange.

a bill somewhat similar. His motion
was lost—ayes 63, nays 81. Gordon
then made an able speech, in which he
defended the banks, and opposed the
bill.
Underwood spoke in favor of the bill.
He regarded the bank bill of the last
session very plain, and this bill only
sought to impose a penalty of two or
two and a half per cent a month, to
make the banks comply with that bill.
Kenan thought the Act of '57 ap
plied to the banks under suspension,
and was now void.

Transfusion op Blood. —The delicate
and hazardous operation of transferring
a portion of the vital fluid, from
i one living subject to an other, and
which has been only on two pre
vious occasions practiced on this side of
the Atlantic, was performed last month,
• with complete success, at New Orleans.
■ The patient was a sister of Dr. Benedict
of that city. Her system was so com
• pletely prostrated that it was decided,
upon a consolation of eminent practi
lioners that, unless this remedy was re
sorted to, death would inevitably ensue
in a few hours. An immediate im
i provement was the effect of the opera
i tion, aud the lady at the last accounts
, was doing well. The blood was taken
from a yonng man twenty two years of
age.

Atlanta and LaGp.ange Rail Road.—
We are informed that the freight train
! on the Atlanta and LaG range Rail Road
brought to Atlanta on yesterday morn
ing fifteen hundred bales of cotton.—
This looks like doing pretty well. This
road is now one of the best paying roads
in Georgia. The dividends are heavy,
and a large surplus on hand. The
working arrangements are of the most
complete character. Much of it success
is attributable to the skill and fidelity
of the able and gentlemanly superin
tendent, Mr. GeorgeG.Hull, who we feel
no hesitation in saying is excelled by no
man of his age, in point of ability, as a
manager of rail road operations.—At

; Solved I—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting rood into a
life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
. course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
) fluid re acquires Its solvent power, and the crude
> nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
> the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
) 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 the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
1 paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition
. of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
’ ery member with the source of sensation, mo
’ tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
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
1 woman has ever received from the bauds of
• medical men.
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir Ims 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 Pliarmacopia.
; If long life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of
precious worth
j Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
j sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
I man of business, the victim of nervous depres-
I sion, the individual suffering from general de
* bility or from the weakness of a single organ
willall find immediateand permanent relief from
the use of this incomparable reu»vat or. To
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard
against that terrible malady. There are many
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond thereacb
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
ference to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

Jl” A Liver Remedy.—The
Liver, according to Physiologists, occupies in
our human economy a place second only to the
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 ofita duties is to keep the system
in a state ot health, and free from all bodily ills.
Dr. Sandford’h INVIGORATOR is a great Regu
lator or thb Liver. It instills into it new life
and vigor, strengthens it, and invigorates it,
curing the lountain from whence so many
streams of Sickness flow. We say to all who
are troubled with any derangement of the Liv
er, such as Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache,
Billiousness or debility of eystem, do not fail to
