Cimiing tlispald). AUGUSTA, GEO: Saturday Evtiilitjf, Dec. 18,1838. “ The Rule of Three Mired. ” OUR ARITHMETICAL NEHIHBOK. The Constitutionalist would make the impression that it is an adept at figures; it has certainly achieved quite a feat in solving a sum in “ the rule of three”— hut the impression of the readers of that paper is, that in the political pro blem it is trying to work out, it had better confine itself to simple interest. That paper is evidently anxious to keep the public from detecting its own blunders, and hence it obscures them in a confused and inexplicable array of figures, and answers with ridicule those who attempt to unravel them. The editor is as happy in his rhetorical, as in his arithmetical figures, and we will not disturb the attitudes he ascribes to us—astride a wagon with the wheels misplaced—though in the same paper he had us in pursuit of the Africans all along the shore, over the river. The editor is evidently endeavoring to get up locomotion without any wheels at all—he is on a drag, and is so fearful that the faster vehicles will get ahead of him, that he endeavors, with mean ingless vociferations, and hullabaloo, to conceal his own desperate condition, and if possible throw his competitors into confusion. We are perfectly willing to leave our figures—brief as they were—to the crit ical inspection of our readers, and the readers of the Constitutionalist—pro vided the latter do not become so com pletely addled with the cyphering of the editor as to be unable to compre hend the plainest proposition. We took our statement of the nett earnings of Mr. SruDLOCK from the very same basis used by him in his display of fig ures in the rule of three; if we erred, he erred. We would like to know if a correct statement of the amounts paid out (outside the gross expenses) with the amount of cash in hand, is not the nett earnings of the road. In our calcula tion we left out the cash on hand—the very same thing that Justice charges him with doing by Dr. Lewis. It is not our object to review the effort of the Constitutionalist to destroy the effect of our exposure of its one sided review of the management of the State Hoad. It would only keep our leaders from the main issue, —the actual results of the two last administrations of the Road—which our neighbor has involved in such an array of arithmet ical abstractions that nothing can be extracted from it to throw any light upon the subject. He has made it liter ally as clear as mud. In a few days, if we can get time, we expect to prepare from the records, a comparative state ment of the affairs of the Road under Spullock and Lewis, and to show that our neighbor has ascribed to the former laurels he did not earn, and to vindi cate the latter from the feeble attacks of his own party organ. If we fail to make every candid reader see the absurdity of the charges of the Constitutionalist, we will agree to jump aboard his mud-scow and take iessons in cyphering. Tilt- Couise—\o Co vent 100. A spectacle is now presented in Geor gia, not witnessed before in very many years. We have an administration whose line of conduct has been such as to meet the warm approval of the masses of both parties which were in existence at the time that our present Executive was called to the Chair. Gov. Brown is now, without a doubt, the fa vorite candidate of the members as well of the American as of the Democratic party. It is a cause of rejoicing to all who are animated by a single desire for the common weal, that we areat.apoiut where we may by care, by charitable forbearance, and by good faith, attain that much talked of condition of a united people. It is now possible to possess such internal harmony among ourselves, that the State may present an undivi ded front to all outside enemies. A Democratic Governor has so faith fully conducted the affairs of State, that while he has been untrue to no sacred principle of his own party, he has dis armed the opposition, and rendered it impossible for any candid person to make a show of reasonable opposition. Now, is there any conceivable good reason that the animosities of party should again be awakened ? Shall we not let the demon of party discord with all his bitterness and malevolence sleep on to find no future wakening in the foremost State of the South ? Then a rational hope may bo entertained that the force of such beautiful example will be felt in our sister States, and that the moment will quickly come when the Southern people, braced by the vigor of internal health and unity, can go forth to meet their assailants with the victory giving confidence of a well disciplined army. As we acknowledge no allegiance to any party, being only pledged to de nounce wrong and uphold right at all times, we disclaim all intention to dic tate the course either of the Democra cy or of the Americans. We ask to be understood as acting solely upon our own convictions of right, of prudence, of justice and of good State policy.— And we feel a pleasing confidence that we utter the sentiment of the honest unselfish people, when we express the opinion, that the welfare of the State demands the re-election of Governor Joseph E. Brown next year. Through private and through public channels, there reach us every day expressions of satisfaction with his course, and of a hearty determination to support him at the coming election ; nor are these ex pressions confined in their source to any party or to any section of the State. With such unity of sentiment from persons and places, we are unable to see that there can be an necessity for a nominating convention. Without any convention, Governor Brown will cer tainly be re-elected as he certainly will be if re nominated by his own party, of which there can, of course, he no doubt. The people will send him into his pre sent office for a second term, without any further concert of action than is to be had in their unanimous approval of his course thus far. No good can possi bly result from a convention, while it will be apparent that much harm might grow out of anything that savors of a purely party action. Let there be no conventions and there will be no quar rels. What say the people? We shall be glad to bear from all quarters on the subject of Ah Convention. ° Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. Yankee Houses. It would be difficult to find two hous es in New England which were construc ted on precisely the same plan ; and it would also he difficult to find two which had not more or less resemblance. The principal arrangement, necessary to convenience, may be found under va rious modifications! in all. Necessity, which is said to be the mother of inven tions, has reduced house building to a science in New England. Comfort and convenience is the first thing to be con sidered ; and after that, the pride aud fancy of the owner may be indulged in adding such ornaments as will be attrac tive to an outside view. The long cold winter of this country renders it absolutely necessary that the house should be made to exclude the freezing atmosphere ; the price of fuel also demands such arrangements as will save, for dollars arc hard to be ob tained. The people do their own work, and consequently arrange their houses, so that the work can be done to the best advantage. This is a natural conse quence of the system of living in this country. An individual would not be wise to so construct his house that it would take two persons to do the work of the fami ly,when it could with the same expense be so arranged that one could do the same work, and especially when his own wife and daughters are to do it.— Interest therefore of the most weighty kind, dictates that the Yankee should build a handy and comfortable resi dence. All dwellings here, have under them a large and comodious cellar—the mod em style is to have it extend under the whole building. The walls are usually of stone, from seven to nine feet high. The entrance to the cellar is made as convenient to the kitchen, or work room as circumstances will admit. A good celler does not freeze in our hard est winters, and consequently all artic les of provisions, which would be injur ed b\ freezing, are stored there—such as potatoes, apples, meats, vegetables &c.| In this connection, it should bo remem-j ed that from the first of December’till i into April, every thing that has not a warm protection is frozen up—hence the particular necessity for cellars. The style and size of houses are as various as the people who erect them.i What is termed, The Cottage House is | fashionable, and there are very many of them constructed on the same general plan. As this class of houses is the most I common, and as the first floor of all, whether high or low, may be construct-T ed alike, and it is on this floor that the; family live, I will give this kind of! house as a specimen. The front or main building has usually two rooms, with a passage or entry between. One of these 1 rooms is the Parlor. This is furnished [ according to the means of the owner, [ most generally it is carpeted, and con tains a sofa or settee, a bureau, table and chairs, all of a good style ; a closet \ and cupboard are an essential part of the! room and are seldom omitted, The room is warmed by an air tight stove— J the walls plastered and sometimes pa pered, and the trimmings and doors painted and frequently grained. The! floor is always painted—the prevailing! color is yellow. The sitting room is j similarly finished, except the walls are | papered, and the trimmings grained.— | Here also will he found the cupboard and j closet, and stove. The furnishing is more common, as the room is generally j occupied some part of the day, while j the Parlor is butseldom used. All houses have an ell or a back part. The sitting room opens into the dining room or what is very often the kitchen. This , room is papered and grained, and the : floor painted. The cupboard is here but not the closet. In winter the cooking 1 stove is here, or if it is the kitchen, it , is here ail the time. This is the room! i which is most used. It opens to the! cellar—to the chambers, to a bed room j and often to another room which j is the kitchen. In one or both of these two rooms the family lives—they cook and eat here, and do the work of the house. The middle room opens in to the "Pantry.” This is a large light ed closet with shelves arranged around the walls, and its locatio ge ments are considered by the “women folks ” as the most essential of any part of the house. This little room takes the place of the “smoke house ” in many respects. Here the cooked provisions are stored—here is the meal, flour, butter, cheese, sugar, eggs, &c.— From this room the table is mainly set. The kitchen, whether it is the middle room, or one back of that, in a large majority of houses contains a water tub, and brick oven. The water comes from the well or spring into a tub which I : affords an abundant supply of water. ■ Close to the tub is a wet sink, and cup ) board and within two or three steps is • the cooking stove. Under the sink and i closed up is a recepticle of the pots 5 and kettles used in cooking. a This room also opens into the wood i shed in which there is always a good - supply of dry wood fit for the stove. I The man who does not provide a good f stock of good dry wood is universally ;. set down as a shiftless individual. The i- cook can do all her work and not go t out into the open air during the day. o This is a glimpse, and only a glimpse f of the ground floor of the Yankee - House. There are of course many mod -4 ifications from this description—some 1 improving it, and some diminishing 1 it—hut I think I have given a fair aver -3 age. Were I not admonished by those • two little words which I have heard 1 you use so often, and which still ring in! c my ears, “ Too Long," I might go more’ into details,hut for this time, enough. Net. j The Washington Difficulties. I Our exchanges from the Federal Cap ital, give us nothing definite or satis ..t factory in addition to our dispatches, cl concerning the proceedings in the case o 1 of the steamship Washington. , i “ lon ” writes to the Baltimore Sun, o under date of 14th instant, from Wash ington : The hoarding of the steamship Wash '< ington, in the harbor of Greytown, by i- the British force, is not considered ns a an exercise of a right of search ; and, q in fact, is wholly dissimilar from that abandoned pretension. Besides, it was the fault of the Captain of the Wash d ington the British officer was allowed n to come on board. He might have re -fused to permit this visit, and made a j point thereupon. No force whatever ; was exerted by the British on the occa y; 6ion, and the examination was rolunta e rily submitted toon the part of the 10 commander of the Washington. ,j The British government has not re linquished their assumed protectorate ls of the Mosquito coast, and in virtue of >- it they will hereafter prevent the land-1 ;, ing of fillibusters, and will, moreover, | 5i | expel them from the country by force, .j j They have long ago notified this gov- j eminent of this intention on their part. When the “Susan,” from Mobile, with s emigrants, arrives, she will, no doubt, i be subjected to much harsher treatment. I o Besides the claim of the protectorate, J e Great Britain asserts the light of pre venting any interference from any j quarter with the present government of! B Nicaragua and Costa Rica, while her) s minister is engaged in negotiating and ■ s concluding a treaty with them. While - Sir W r . Gore Ousely is there, his mission j / is thus to he respected. Our govern-j ment has also been duly informed of | ‘ this determination, and therefore, the ! late occurrences in the harbor of Grey town cannot take us bj surprise, nor! 1 be considered as a revival of the right! of search. 3 At the same time, we are free to go! i to war for the protection of fillibuster . ism, if we like. We can’t after ail, j 3 “drive the fast anchored isle from her | moorings,” till after the return of ourj fleet from Paraguay. So there will he: 1 time for a long-winded discussion of the i - subject in Congress and in the press. Our Relations vvltli Great Britain. Washington, Dec. 15.—There is now 1 ! much less apprehension of trouble with I .: Great Britain, than was anticipated, J when tlie intelligence was first received I j respecting recent events in Central America. The rumors that the Presi -1 dent intended sending Congress a war i message are not well founded. The Administration still has under consid eration this important subject, and its most prominent friends say its action j will be such as will meet the reasonable! 1 expectations of the country, j The correspondent called for by the! resolution of the Committee on Foreign : Affairs was sent to the House today, and will he presented to morrow, until; which time it will not be accessible. It ■[ is known, however, from the dispatches : of Commodore Mclntosh, that after the • steamer Washington had landed by the Britisli officers, he demanded an expla ! nation, when Capt. Aldham disclaimed any intention to exercise the right of : search, saying he boarded the Wash ; \ ington to get the news, aud when it was known an English Government officer I was among the passengers. In other words they had made the usual friendly visit —the same as our officers make to British vessels. Sir Wm. Gore Ousely and his Secreta ry explained the matter in pretty much the same way. The prominent fact occurs in the cor- \ respondence, that Great Britain exer- , cises a protectorate over the Musquito | Kingdom. Sir Gore Ousley’s Secretary i said that the British Government had j abandoned the right of search, and that 1 1 therefore the visit was not made under lit. i i | It is further stated that a meeting | was hel 1 at Greytown, when the inhab- l ; itauts resolved that they would main j tain their independence, and applied to l ! Sir Gore Ousely to assist them in so do- I j ing, and he informed them that their I proposition should have due considera tion in the proper quarter, and that jus- < tice should be done to all parties. Commodore Mclntosh thinks that the c explanation made by the British officer ( in respect to the visit to the steamer Washington, was satisfactory, frank l and fair. The Fleet Surgeon reports the health of Com. Mclntosh as such that he ' ! should no longer remain with the home | squadron. 1 i A Cargo of Slaves Landed. ; The Georgia Citizen, alluding to the landing of the late cargo of Africans says : This is only the “beginning of the ■ end,” and we have not a word to say in condemnation of an act, that will prac-, i tically nullify an unconstitutional law! 1 against the South and her institutions. 1 On the contrary, we believe that the people of Georgia have the inalienable i right to import laborers from Africa or 1 anywhere else, and that all true Southern - 1 era will be willing to have them smuggled into the country, if the odious restric tions, on the part of the Federal Gov-1 ment, against free trade in this species of | , property, are not removed. —“ —— Mrs. Swisshelm says it is marvelously) strange how a woman can think herself I • contaminated by the slightest inter- j : course with the victim of a seducer but! cover her face all over with smiles to . receive the seducer himself. Mrs S , • doubtless forgets that “truth is stranger I I than fiction.” J BY TELEGRAPH. i Telegraphed Especially for the Dispatch.

Jff Augusta, 16tli Deci'm- I bvr, INSB.—Mr. Editor: It having l>«et»inti- 11 mated to me, by a friend, that the Jury probably * I misunderstood me when testifying before them »- j yesterday, and that tbo impression left upon t their minds, by my manner , and other circurn ; stances developed upon the trial was, that I had i a leaning, a preference, as to the application of money—the proceeds of sales of certain proper ty—for which two parties were contending— (the i circumstances involved in such case, are not al- L '; ways sufficiently developed upon similar trials.) » I therefore crave a small space in your columns e for the purpose of placing myself rectus in curia- About the last of September or first of October, j J 857, 1 made a purchase of some furniture from Messrs. Benjamin k Goodrich, agreeing to pay a part in cash, and give them a mortgage upon the e whole bill, to secure th • balance. That was the bargain. I have always said so, to all parties, when asked about It, and would havo said so - upon the stand, if I had been asked the question _ But I was only asked (upon that subject) wlietb j cr or cot the mortgage was executed at the time of the delivery of the goods i which I would have r been glad to be able to answer, with a clear con •f science, as Mr. Singletary answered the same . question. The counsel, on one side of the case, seemed inclined to impress it upon the minds of the jury, that I had acted in away that implied e | turpitud? ; that my notifying the holders of old ' judgments against me, that my effects had been levied upon under a distress warrant, amounted to an invitation to them to come in and claim the n ; proceeds of sales of this very mortgaged proper s j ty. I had no such design, and am highly grati i, ! fled that the mortgagers get their money. When l I notified the holders ol old judgments of what | was about to take place, relative to my effects, I a did not suppose that by my d*ing so tho interest 5i ot Messrs. B. &G. would be at all effected. I 1 believed that either thtir mortgage was good, and would cover and hold the goods therein specified, or that if it was not, then the question 1 of pricedence" would be between the distress s warrant, under which the levy had been made, i, and the old judgments. declß-l J.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR -1 DlAL.—'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 fiuid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to J 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 1 acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-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 arising from the unnaturalcoudition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives immediate benefit i from tbe use of this Cordial, which at once calms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it arb unanimous in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the hat ds of t medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate ami 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 beneficial 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 do bility or from the weakness of a single organ willall find immediateaud permanent relh f from the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard against that terrible m ilady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion tha t they think themselves beyond thereach ; of medicine. Let not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re | ierence to the causes, and will not only remove! j the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- j j stitution { LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush j !of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil-1 1 ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofself-de-j ■ S'ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys-j | pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous- !

Fowls— Sir : Yeu are at liberty to use the following statement for the benefit of the af flicted : I was attacked with the Liver Complaint, which apparently brought me to tho brink ol the grave. During my sickness Iwas attended by three physicians in our place, but received no help. I also tried the various remedies re commended fur such complaints, hut they af forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was persuaded to try Wistar’s Balsam, of Wild Cherry, and by using four bottles I was restored to better health than I have enjoyed before for ten years.
