AUGTJ STAi GEO :
Wednesday Evening, Pec. I~>, !*•>*•
Hon. JoHn Letcher’i fomlMtion for
Governor In Virginia.
The nomination of Mr. Letcher was
* a concession to the anti-9lavery preju
dices of the people of Western Virgi
nia. He resides in that portion of the
State, and is well known as sympathis
ing with the sentiments which led tire
non-slaveholders of trans-mountain Vir
ginia a few years since, to call for the
removal of slavery from their portion
of the State, either by abolition uncon
ditional, or by some plan of gradual
emancipation. The reader should re
member that about one half of the
white population of the State, or nearly
four hundred thousand, are west of the
mountains, while there are among them
only about eighteen thousand slaves.
At that time Mr. Letcher did not hesi
tate to publicly avow his unfavorable
opinion of the institution.
But the emancipationists have latter
ly, somewhat abated their clamor for
immediate abolition, in consequence,
no doubt, of perceiving that the short
est way to rid themselves of slavery, is
to await the sale of the slaves to more
Southern States. This work, as we all
know, is going on with great rapidity, J
thousands upon thousands of negroes j
being* annually transferred from the
Northern markets to our South-western
States, :
No candidate can carry the State of,
Virginia unless he can succeed in the |
Western part ot the State. For this j
reason, Governor Wise has shown him
self so heterodox of late years, though |
himself a resident of Eastern or Pied- j
mout Virginia. He has understood that;
free labor is the ruling power in his j
State and has not dared nor, perhaps,
wished to stem its tide.
The Virginia Democracy, though har
monious in elections, are well under
stood to be divided into two factions, ;
* the admirers of Wise and those of Sen-j
atorß. 31. T. Hunter.
Mr. Letcher belongs to the latter
class, and his nomination, in spite of j
violent opposition, shows the Hunter]
party to be in the majority. They will,
therefore, be enabled, with great show
of reason, to promise confidently the
vote of Virginia to the next Presiden- j
tial nominee, provided he be Hunter. j
* Letcher’s success, therefore, is regard
ed as a step towards Hunter’s nomina
tion in 1800.
This gentleman's views upon the sub
ject of slavery are much the same as
those of Mr. Letcher, though we are.
not aware that he has ever gone so far]
as to denounce it a “curse" and a “per j
nicious institution” which Letcher has
done. Mr. Hunter has perhaps been
the more wary of the two, but he is
like other prominent politicians of his
latitude, professing to look upon slave
ry as something to be tolerated uutil it
can be done away.

Hensons for Slopping n Paper
“31. 0. Gull,” who, by the way, is
a regular and valued correspondent of
the Dispatch, writes the following to the
New York Picayune , as his reasons for
stopping that paper. The “Pic" ought
to make him a life subscriber.
“Augusta, Ga., Nov. 29, 1838. i
“ Dear Mr. Pic lam sorry to part i
with you, but I hope the recital of a i
few facts will convince you that the
thing cannot be helped. Stop my paper, j
“ Ist. Had a note to pay in bank.— I
Put down my Pic to look at my watch.
Pound the hank had been closed two |
hours. Note protested, and credit gone.,
“2d. Dreamed that I was the “Bene-j
cia Boy," and had accepted Krouple'sj
challenge. In my dream struck my!
wife between her two eyes, blackeniug.
her nose so badly that she has not been j
able to blow it since.
“3d. On last Sunday, while listening;
to a most excellent sermon, happened
to think of tho Dutchman’s up-side
down profile. Laughed right out.—
Tried for the offence, convicted and ex
communicated.
“4th. Have three red head daughters.
Used to he very useful till the Pic com-1
menced comiug to the house. Now;
can’t get any work from them till it j
has been read over three or four times. I
“ Hoping you are satisfied, I remain, j
“Yours,

Ttoc Union of the Richmond South
anil the Washington States.
We have not, like some of our co-;
temporaries, looked upon the removal
of the South to Washingt'on and its mer-:
0 ger in the Slates as a move for Douglas. !
The editor, R. A. Prtor, Esq., has ta
ken a leading part in the struggle for
Letcher’s nomination in Virginia, and
as that was but a struggle to advance
the interests, in a Presidential way, of
Senator Hunter, we do not doubt that
Mr. Pryor will continue his labors in
behalf of the same aspirant. It may
therefore he expected that the States ;
paper will strive to cultivate a friend
ship among the divers wings of the de
mocracy, since harmony in the party is |
essential to the success of any candi-:
date ; and will as far as prudence may
allow, push the claims of Mr. Hunter
to the favorable regard of the Charles
ton Convention.
Mr. Pryor in his salutatory disclaims
allegiance to any clique. Os course, i
that is all understood. He is to do as:
he pleases, like any freeman, but pleases]
to de a certain thing just now, and fail
ing in that, will please to do what he!
may consider the next best thing.
[k Mr. Pryor is now among the ablest;
editors of IVashington City, is a party
man all the time, believing that the 1
good of the country must only he
sought through the agency of party, isj
t opposed to new issues, unless they;
promise success to his party, looking;
always to their bearing upon party suc
cess rather than to their relation to the
country, and comes as near making a
bad cause a good one, as anv man can.

Washington Correspondence.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 13, ’-58. j
The game of chess is a perfect epi
' demic in Washington. Several clubs
are in process of incubation, some of
: them already hatched, members are;
crowding in and peeping into the myste- 1
! riesof kings, castles, queens, Bishops and
1 pawns. Cards as an amusement are at;
a discount, although some of the candi
dates for Congress, who apparently held
“lone hands,” and accordingly “went
2 it alone," have been “euchred." Be
’ I sides there.are some evidences that the
e i President will be “bluffed” in some of
11 j bis recommendations to Congress. The,
’• ] silly rumor that Cord would leave the 1
‘ j cabinet was unfounded, his doing so j
e ; would indicate weakness, which he has
;no intention of exhibiting. 3Vhen Con-1
‘ I gross shall have decided between him
r | and the President, or rather between
’jthe policy they recommend, t’ en
’j Conn could go out with credit to him-,'
S| self and strength for his future move- 1
J I ments.
! j Howell C’oeb is known in Georgia,;
' 1 and it is understood that he usually car- : ,
ries his point, and without expressing j;
an opinion as to whether he is right or 1
] not, I venture to predict that he will ’
J carry it this time to his own advantage, j
I whether he succeeds or not. t
The message as a benevolent produc
tion, gives much satisfaction to the
President’s friends, the black wing of
the opposition, however, complain of
j the manner in which he has dissected
l up the Kansas subject, and at his f
resurrecting the exploded issue at all. t
especially as he declares the whole thing j 3
to be buried by the “Dred Scott decis-jf
ion,” and Almighty Providence. They ! '
blame him for apologising for the past, j ,
and profess to have fear that he will ;
j have move occasions in the future.
The “ Citizen” is now published here;'

We have stated our conviction that
’ more territory without more laborers
adapted to our institutions wasnot,ade
i sirable acquisition for the South. The
following table shows that the area of
our present territories already exceeds
that of the States by 345,990 square
miles, or bv a domain almost equal to
six such States as Georgia. For the
i convenient reference of our readers we
i present the area of the territories and

ffif* A .Liver Remedy.—The
! j.irer, according to Physiologists, occupies in
; our human economy a place second only to the
! heart, and consequently is one of the greatest
1 dispensers of health and happiness, or sickness
i and disease. To keep the liver in the proper
] performance ofits duties is to keep the system
! in a state of health, and free from all bodily ids.
| Dr. Sandfof.d’s IXVIGORATOR is a great Regu
lator of the Liver. It instills into it new l'.e
i and vigor, strengthens it, and invigorates it,
j curing the fountain from whence so many,
i streams of sickness flow. We say to all who •
! are troubled with any derangement of the Liv-,
j or, such as Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache,
! Billiousness or debility of system, do not fail to

fITTRe Great Problem
Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
! DIAL.—Tho dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
| has lost the power of duly converting food into a
; life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single:
! course of Ibis extraordinary tonic. The gastric i
! fluid re acquires its solventpower, and thecrude
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
i the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
! wholesome revolution created in the system, the
basis of activitv, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tie-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of,
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain |
or disability arisingfrom the unnaturaicondition I
I of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
' cry member with the source of sensation, mo-1
! tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
| from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, j
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous!
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in l
| declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that,
! woman has ever received from the hands 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 au j
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
Iflong life and the vigor necessary to its en
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of |
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either j
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing j
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn '
’ man of business, the victim of nervous depres-:
S sion, tho individual suffering from general de j
bility or from the weakness of a single organ ;
j v.illall find immediate aud permanent relief from j
jthe use of this incomparable reu >vator.
j those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard j
against that terrible malady. There are many [
perhaps who have so trilled with their constitu
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let übt even those despair. The
; Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
! lerencc to the causes, and will not only remove
| the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con-1
' sti tu tion
