In other words, “ Ichabad" acknowledges his obligations to Aesculapius and pro virilt parte will endeavor to reciprocate. Our sense of obligation arises principal ly from the high compliment paid us. by our opponent, in exalting us to the stars, though doubtless the object of the com pliment is ironical and designed to elevate in the opposite direction. Now we are not fond of controversy, when no princi ple is in issue, and the belligerents de scend to personalities orany thing resem bling the adhomintm argument. No pacil fic, sensible man will willingly bficomc a party to such a passage at armes, and will enter the lists only in defence of truth by refuting error. How far we have become involved ourself in error, by at taching to the language of another a meaning which, it is affirmed, it will not legitimately bear, we willingly leave disinterested parties to decide; but, we honestly confess, it would have been quite as satisfactory to us had the gen tlemau disavowed the opinion we inferred rather than obstinately persisted in af firming he had expressed “ no opinion.” This we opine the author of the lan guage, in controversy, will never do ; for the more he says the more apparent does it become, whatever he intended primarily, that ho is hostile to the use of the rod in school, and the ability to govern without it, in his mind, is a test of fitness for this high vocation. We do not question the right of any one to entertain or re-taiu his opinions respecting any question or policy. To make a man criminate himself, would certainly be establishing an inquisitori al tribunal; still, we of arc opinion that the parties should, in deference to oth ers, cither make up an issue, or nol pros at once. We have done our best to make an issue, but have most signally failed, and wo are forcibly reminded of a certain religious controversy, which transpired in our midst recently, in which one of the parties, byway of showing denominational independence, re fused either to “affirm or deny.” We do not insinuate any attempt, on the part of the wjiter, to avoid the issue from a consciousness of the untenable nature of his position ; this cannot he so, when we are accused of having our cquinimity disturbed by the increase of “ moral suasionists,” and of an at tempt to lash our constituents for their . eretcrical opinions, over his shoulders! This insinuation is certainly quite as gratuitous as any of our assumptions. We will assure our houest opponent that he reckons without Iris host. We live in a sensible community, one that is willing for the teacher to occupy the position assigned him by the law in loco parentis ; not guilty of tne supreme fol ly of employing an agent to teach with out the power of governing by the use of any disci etionary means. So it can easily be seen that there was no occasion for preparing that shell before hand, which seems to have acquired so much momen tum as to have impressed the mind of our opponent with a belief of its celestial origin. If the gentleman will credit our assertion in reference to our administra tion in school, we will inform him that it has only been excepted to for its having partaken too much of moral suasion— too little of the legal. This, however, is doubtless owing to the fact that this community has not, unfortunately, shared in the “high physical and mor al progress” of the age, and has not , become convinced that, as a teacher of j ethics, Solomon is not superior to all ( modern reformists. We shall not offer “W. S. M.” our credentials from the chancery of Hea- , ven, for the simple reason we are not ( aware, from our knowledge of the his tory of the different professions, that j Solomon or any other Scripture writer, , has ever issued letters patent confer- . ring the privilege either of teaching, practicing medicine, or any other profes sion ; therefore, for the benefit of man kind, especially for the relief of editors and their readers, we suggest that all -the professions—theology excepted—be abolished, since there is no special di vine commission for any other—and every man assume his independence— •specially that he have the glorious privilege of teaching his own children, eince the parent, by the concession of cur opponent, will, as natural guardian j of the “ babies,” have the privilege of msing the rod, ad libitum. With this, •we close, and retire as gracefully as pos sible. 00 letters from Memphis—Vo. 3. Memphis, Dec. Bth, 1858. Dkae DisrATCH You will pardon 1 my remissness in keeping yon posted on ] thenewsof this busy burg,for I have been < “laid up" for two weeks, with the pos- 1 itive injunction from my physicion not ] to look at a newspaper—which has also ■, debarred me from writing for one. We are barren in local news just ] aow —having had no shocking murders i for several days. An attempt was made ] this morning to fire the Avalanche news- j paper office -being the fifth effort, du- 1 ring the year. By the way, the press -of Memphis is an honor to the city.— ] fThere arc five daily papers—two mam- 1 moth sheets, the Appeal and hnquirer— 1 the former Democratic, the latter not— | the italanche, a large and vigorous Democratic, anti-bank journal,—the —old line Whig, and the best news paper in the city—and last, and < youngest, and speciest, the cheerful and ‘ daslry Evening Ledger. These papers are • all well-conducted, and their expenses are enormous, tint Memphis merchants j advertise freely. Did you know that Memphis was the first inland Cotton Market In the South, in point of busi ness ? The receipts here since Septem ber, foot up 145,084 bales and the sales of the last week about 15,000 bales, at prices ranging from 11 to 12 cents. Our theatre goers are having a fine time, between Donnettis Monkey’s at the old Theatre and Miss Avonia Jones and Ceisp’s fine company at the Gaielg. The friends of the manager of the old theatre were quite ashgat an article in the Appeal a day or two ago reflecting on its management ; and the next day the editor made a disclaimer, avowing hi* high appreciation of Mr. Ash, and re gretting that the article appeared in his local column. I Will write oftener hereafter. Yours truly, Memphis. Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. Boscawen, N. 11., Dec. 2, 1858. Mu. Editor ; — To-day lias been cold, unusually so for the season, even in this cold country ; and colder than I ever experienced, in the nine winters which I have spent in your State. The ground is “ frozen up solid”—to use a common phrase, and the out of door prospect looks and feels gloomy enough. A cold day now and then might do very well for a change, hut when it begins to be freezing cold the first, or by the middle of November, and the ther mometer going lower and lower every day, with no prospect of a change for the better, ’till March or April—l im agin you will need no further proof that the prospect is gloomy. But there is seldom any prospect or picture however, dark, hut it has some glimer of sunshine, some bright side that is genial to the view aud senses. Before taking up my pen, I sat before a warm stove, in my comfortable, and warm room. The wind whistled out side and the frost was creeping over the glass in the windows, but I was comfor table—l felt not the cold which was without. A thought occurred to my mind, and as I ran along in memory, it spread out in proportion, and now I am seated with pen in hand to tell you what I thought as I mused before my warm stove. Among the many good people in Georgia, with whom lam ac quainted, I have found not a few cu rious to know how the people of this cold climate lived through the long cold winter—what was their employ ment— how' are their houses construc ted so that one womau can do the work of a large family—how do the laboring men manage to live on their scanty earnings, and how do the farmers with so small an amount of laud contrive to live comfortably aud lay up money. All these, aud many other points in the customs and domestic arrangements ■ of the people of New England, I have discussed with the farmer, the meehan -1 ic, and with the house wife of your - State; and in my ruminations before 5 the stove to night, it ooeured to me ; that perhaps I could interest your many ‘ readers, who have never visited this portion of our country, by devoting a portion of the long “winter evenings,” which are now fairly before us, to giv ’ in g some account of the manners and 1 customs, and domestic arrangments of ' the Yaukeos. I shall uot promise to be ' regular in my correspondence, or Litera rg in my style. When I write or speak, I do so in my own way, which is often bungling and uncouth. But I will en deavor to write with candor and fair ness ; I have no desire to obtrude the Yankee fashions upon your people, or to draw comparisons unfavorable to any. I have often, in my own business ob tained valuable information from others in the same employment, or from wit- : nessing the arrangements by which ' others contrive to do the same work. — It may be, aud in fact it is true, that j the people of two different sections, witli habits and fashions unlike, may 1 often obtain ideas, each from the other 1 which are beneficial to both. An origi nal idea, in whatever branch of business, or calling, seldom enters'the mind un- 1 less it is calledout by something similar i which is seen or heard. With all the 1 ingenuity and inventive genius of the ! age, an antecedent of some kind, is | usually father to the new thought. So in the home arrangements of poo- 1 pie of different sections ; the plans of one, which in themselves would be al- ■ together inapplicable, yet may be mod ified to suit the tastes and wants of the other. At any rate, if I succeed in interest ing the reader by describing that which is new, so that he thinks the space oc cupied in the Dtspdch, is well filled, I ! shall be satisfied. | In politics, we are beginning to get waked up here. The Democrats havo made most of their nominations, while the Republicans are not yet in the field. In this Congressional District—the 2nd. —John H. George has been nominated for Congress. Col. George, is a warm personal friend and confidential adviser . of Franklin Pierce, and one of the most promising young men in New England. He is thirty three years of age, and was hated worse, and slandered worse, by the opposition in the last Presidential election, than aay other , man in the State. This, of itself is 1 pretty good evidence of smartness. He > is going to adopt the plan of your sec tion, by stumping the district, and he | will make the fur fly. The opposition have not a man in the district who will dare to meet him. The present incum bent Mason W. Tappen, is their big gun, but he is not a match for George. Tappen was elected by about 1600 majority, and it would not be safe to 1 calculate on over coming it, but Col. t George is “going to try.” It is confi-| dently predicted that Ichabad Goodwin, J will get the Republican nomination fori ' Governor. He is an qj”, jjne Whig, and j c if he is the Lorainec” it will be strong evidence that they have moderated c ‘nelr notions on the “nigger question, ’ j r j tor Goodwin is not of that order. t Net. 1. We trust our valuable correspondent will give us a series ot letters concern ing the “household economy” of the Yankees. He can develope many things; - that our readers, who have uot been down East, never in their philosophy | dreamed of. —Ed. Dis. niHleUgevllle Correspondence.

Nicaragua refused to allow passengers to land, alledging that they were filli busters. The steamer Catharine Maria was sent to Granada to obtain permission to land if the Herman arrived. The Washington was boarded by British ofli '■ cers, who desired to see the passenger list, and to know if munitions of war were on board. They did not insist on raising the hatches but left suddenly.

To keep the liver in the proper 2 performance of its duties is to keep the system 1 in a state of health, and free from all bodily ills. Dr. Saxdford’b INYIGORATOR is a great Regu lator of ttif. Liver. It instills into it new life and vigor, strengthens it, and invigorates it, curing the fountain from whence so many streams of sickness flow. We say to nil Who * arc troubled witli any derangement of the IJv * er, such as Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache, r Billiousness or debility of system, do not fail to 5 try I)r.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food 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, j The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doJoreux i or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with | paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that j terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of j nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain i or disability arising from the nnnaturalcondition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the useof this Cordial, which atoncecalms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it are unacimo. s in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that | woman has ever received from the bauds of : medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has 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 Pharmacopia. If long life and the vigor necessary to its en joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth Its boneficial 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 sion, the individual suffering from general de bility or from the weakness ot a single organ willall find immediateand permanent relief from jthe use of this incomparable renovator. To i those who have a predisposition to paralysis it j will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard against that torrible milady. There arc many 1 perliaps who have so trifled with their constitu ! tion that they think themselves beyond the reach jof medicine. Let not even those despair. The i Elixir deal 6 with disease as it exists, without re I lerencc to the causes, and will not only remove | the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con ! stitution j LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de i s ruction, fear of insanity,hypochondriasis, dys j pepsla, general prostration, irritability, nervous - | ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys jteria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of 1 the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony,absolute ly lnramtne.
