<tmm gistatj. 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.

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;' . as your readers have been apprised.— j Almost every person has some devil, or ! evil genius to whom he asscribes all j ! the evil which befalls him or his. The great big boss devil of John Mitchel, ! j is the British Government, and the ' I “ Citizen ” is the expositor of his infatua- ■ ' tion in this respect. Quartz. • •••• Marine Shells.

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 | try I»r. Saxfort/s Liver Invioorator. decl-m 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 LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush :of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ! ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de i 3iruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ; ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe-1 ! males, decay of the propagating functions, hys- I teria, 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, absolutc | ly infallible. !
