(filming l>sptc|. 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.

Mr. Lane—lost bill of yesterday in relation to purchasing Mr. Fannin's book for the use of the Deaf and Dumb. The motion was lost. 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! Walton, who had introduced this bill, spoke at some length on the subject.— He was in favor of separating the ex changes, and the circulation. Let the Banks furnish one, say the circulating medium, and brokers the Exchange. Gordon moved to postpone for the present, as the Senate had just passed 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. On the passage of the bill the ayes were 87, nays 56.

The General Appropriation bill was taken up and the amendments by the Senate read. The amendments increasing the sala ry of Dr. Green to $2,500 —was not con curred iu. There are still about five hundred bills before the Legislature for their action, and they will hardly be able to adjourn before Wednesday or Thursday sexl. The Rev. Wm. Rodgers, late Presi dent of the Cassville Female College, hasaocepted the Presidency of the Grif fin Female College, in place of Rev. H. Jt. Morrow, resigned. Tile Bank Act.

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. • Central America. 1 “Recent despatches from Minister Lamar, speak discouragingly of our in- I terests and influence in Central Ameri ca.— Washington Despatch. ■\ “ Just as might have been expected. ■ Our navy has hitherto beem employed ' in those waters doing tip-6taff for Great ! Britain—Capt. Davis and Com. Pauld i ing, having grossly abused their brief authority in crushing out American In terests in Nicaragua, less than the news ' above communicated could hardly have 1 j been expected. We have out-general i ed ourselves in the garden of the uni verse." So says the Philadelphia Eve ’ ning Argus. Hints foe the Faiimek.—Dig your po , tatoes when the ground is dry; yon can then gather them free from dirt, then stow them away under cover,where 1 the frost will not touch them. Toads are the best protection of cab bage against lice. Plants when drooping, are revived by a few grains of Camphor, j Sulphur is valuablo in preserving i grapes, &c. from insects. Lard never spoils in warm weather, j if it is cooked enough in frying out. In feeding corn, sixty pounds ground | go as far as one hundred pounds in the : kernel. [ Corn meal should never he ground ; very fine, it injures the richness of it. I Turnips; of small size have double I the nutritions matter that large ones j have. Rats and other vermin are kept away | from grain by sprinkling of garlic when packing the sheaves. - 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 lanta Intelligencer. Coke, manufactured from the Etna Coal, found near Chattanooga, will melt for every pound of coke eight pounds lof iron. Will any other coke do this ? 1 —Chattanooga Representative. j The State of Texas has granted forty | four charters to railroad companies, of 1 which seventeen have been forfeited, \ leaving twenty-seven charters still in force.

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 LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self- dc siruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous- I ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys : teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli , ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute j ly mramme. ; CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial j has been counterfeited by some unprincipled persons.
