AUGUSTA, GEO:
Monday Evening, Dec. 20,1858.
Not “A Nentrnl.”
The Atlanta American , alluding to the
late discussion between this paper and
the Constitutionalist, concerning the State
Boacl asks--" What business has Simeon
to meddle with matters of that sort ?
Isn't he a neutral ?
No, Cornelius, Simeon is not “ a neu
tral,” and never has been. Ou the
contrary, he has been on
all matters of party politics, from the
beginning, and expects to continue so.
But if he were a neutral of the most
driveling order, would that prevent
him from alluding to the management!
of the State Road? That is public
property, and as one of the sovereigns,
he claims the right to look after its
intrests, without any regard to politi
cal considerations.
These flings at our neutrality are very
convenient dodges for our political
brethren of both parties. When we
denounced the "third resolution,” at
the time Gov. I!bown was nominated,
certain democratic papers in Atlanta
and elsewhere, accused us of violating
our neutrality, and sympathising with
Hill. Now that a conspiracy is organ
izing to deprive Gov. Brown of re-nom
ination, and to aid the unworthy work,
odium is heaped upon his unpreceden
ted success in managing the State Road,
we are again taunted about neutrality,
because we defend him.
It may suit the American to charge in
consistency upon everything that does
not wear the collar of subserviency to
some rotten political organization, and
that paper may find consolation In the
aid and comfort of the Constitutionalist
in throwing odium upon Gov. Brown ;
hut the Dispatch will not be deterred
by such an alliance from doing justice
to high official merit, let it be found in
whatever party. We have never tied
our nose to the grindstone of party sub
scrviency, to be rubbed and snubbed by
this, or that political aspirant, who lias
axes to grind; and we have not bartered
away the freedom of speech and action
for the paltry badge of membership in
any of the political organizations of
the day. If this constitutes a neutral—
“ Simeon ” is one. We trust that after
a while the people of Georgia—and our
editorial brethren of the “intensely”
partizan school, will learn that the Dis
patch is an independent newspaper, and
not “anoutral.” We shall never devote
its columns to brawling party politics,
nor shall we, withhold free comment up
on men and measures of all parties
when in our humble way we feel that
the cause of truth and the public good
may be subserved.
A Bad Marksman.
The American —grown strangely par
tial to our arithmetical neighbor, of
late, even doubts the arrival of the Af
ricans near this city because the editor
of the Constitutionalist had not been in
formed of their advent by a man who
had seen them. The editor intimates
that we "went off half-cocked”—to
use his own elegant expression, in our
allusion to them. The American reminds
us of one of those sharp shooters allu
ded to by Butler, who in aiming at a
“ duck or plover,” so managed his fu
see that it “knocked the owner over.”
If the editor would confine his amuni
tion so those mellifluous musings of his,
in his "arm chair,” or by the light of
the moon, or even to the discussion of
the lottery business, and other moral
questions of the day, we have no doubt
his efforts would be more appreciated
and he would be less liable perhaps, to
write himself down an than in talk
ing of a matter about which he knows
nothing at all.

Dentil of Joint A. Tucker.
The following extra from the office
of the Lumpkin Palladium conveys to us
the death of Hon. J. A. Tucker, late
Senator from Stewart county, and can
didate for the office of Judge of the Su
perior Court in that circuit.
Hon. John A. Tucker, of Lumpkin,
died on the lfith inst., at Dawson, Ter
rel county, Georgia, This sad intelli
gence awakens in our feelings bosom
feelings too big for utterance. We can
but mourn his death, and tender his
grief-stricken family the gushing full
ness of our heartfelt sympathy, and
commit them to Him "who tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb.”
From a becoming delicacy, that paper
does not give the cause of the death of
this gentleman ; but we deam it proper
as a warning to others, to add, that he
died by his own hand. The American
says he came to his death from taking
morphine, and as he had been drinking
to great excess for several days, he was
doubtless in a state of delirium when
he took the fatal draught.

I Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.
Calhoun, Ga., Dec. 10, 1858.
■ Mr. Editor Thinking that you, as
well as a large number of the readers
of your valuable and widely circulated
paper, would be interested in some
things that occasionally take place in
and around our burg, 1 have concluded
to let yen have the benefit (if you es
teem it such) of a bird’s eye or two.
I cannot, however, promise you
1 much of general interest, but "such as
, I have, give I unto you,” some matter
of local interest, however. Our town
is looking up some ; ■ business a little
more brisk than usual; some grain com
ing in ; some liberal transactions made
for the last few days at 40 cents for
corn, and wheat at 75 do. per bushel
cotton at about 10 cents per pound. Our
mercantile men are recovering from the
depression of last year and the year be
fore. Our people are getting out of
debt, and our county (the banner coun
ty, in many respects, of the State) is
generally in rather a prosperous condi
tion. If you have noticed the Comp
troller General’s report, you are aware
that lands in Gordon average higher
than in any other county ; and I can
safely assert that, in proportion to the
extent of territory, Gordon contains
more good lands than any county in
Cherokee Georgia, and I believe, more
than any in the State. It is emphati
cally a grain growing county of the first
u-ater.
We have a new firm in our
town in the auction, commission
and agency business, viz. Scott & Broth
er, the senior partner of which is pretty
well known to the business men of your
city. It is a clever and gentlemanly
firm, and if they, as well as many
others, would advertise in your journal,
they would doubtless find it to their
■ advantage.
> lam happy to inform you, Mr. Ed:- ,
> tor, that there is a decided increased ’
I educ .tioual taste in our vicinity. Our 1
citizens have put “their shoulders to the 1
; wheel,” and have determined to have a j
• classical school of the first order. The 1
; services of Mr. T. H. Stowe, who
: stands higli as a teacher, have been pro
, cured, and our town is not likely to re- ,
main under the charge of having no
j school worthy of the patronage of the
‘ community generally. We have here
tofore had some well qualified teachers
to undertake here, hut from division of
3 sentiment, most of them have made
, comparative failures. But lam proud
to kuow this is no longer the case.
1 111 the way of news we are compara
-1 tively dull. Rather a strange occur
s rence took place near here last Monday.
Mr. ltewlcn H. Jones, a respectable citi
zen of this county, (originally from Co
-1 lumbia) went out patrage hunting, and
did uot return in due time. His fami
ly becoming uneasy, went in search of
- him and found him about eight o’clock
I at night dead; his horse tied near by,
and the head of his birds wrung off.
' No marks of violence were found upon
his person, and the conclusion is he
. died of a fit or something of a kindred
, nature.
We have had some very strange wea
ther lately—warm enough to wear lin
en coats, but it is now turning cooler,
and those who have killed their pork
begin to wear more cheerful counte
nances.
If you deem what I have written
worthy of a place in your paper, you
will again hear from Bird’s Eye.
[COMMUNICATED.]
Peodortiymlc No. 7.
Dear Dispatch A young lady, a
graduate of one of our female colleges, .
on her return home, had the great event J
celebrated by a grand party. It seems 1
that the girl, not being gifted with mu- (
sical talent, had never go’ne beyond Zip ■
Coon, although as far as making a tre ■ j
mendous noise was concerned, she had 1
no superior. Well, as a matter of course, J
it was expected that she should play at
the party; but so far from this, she '
sternly resisted the earnest solicitations
of her numerous beaux. "Why, Jane,”
says the old man, “ aint you a goin’ to 1
play for the folks ?” The daughter
whispered to her father that she would,
1 with pleasure, but as there were pres
ent those who were judges of music,
s she would rather not, lest she might
make mistakes. “O, darn the differ
ence,” replied the old man, “play away
and when you make a mistake, just fill
\ it with slams, the company won’t know
1 any better.” Do you take, auybody ? :
General Consolidation of Telegraph
Lines. —We learn from good authority, \
says the Washington States, that all the •
telegraph lines running out of Wash- '
ingtou will be consolidated into one
general company on the first of Janua
ry, under the direction of the "Ameri
can Telegraph Company”—the owners
of the principal telegraph lines in the 1
United : States.
I*T Wm. Atson, a writer in Memphis,
Tenn., has just published a book enti- 1
tied "heart-whispers, or a peep behind .
the Family Curtain.” 1
How John Swore lor Betty.
The law of the State of Virginia '
prohibits marriage unless the parties '
are of lawful age, or by th
the parents. \
John N , a well-to-do-farmer, 1
in the Valley of Virginia, was blessed :
with every comfort except that deside
ratum—a wife. John cast his eyes 1
around, but unsuccessfully, until they '
fell upon the form of Betty—daughter
of John Jones, one of the prettiest and
nicest girls in the whole county. After ■
a courtship of six weeks, John was ren- ,
dered happy by the consent of the lair
Betty.
Tne next day, John, .with a friend,
went to town to get the necessary docu
ments, with the forms of procuring
which he was most lamentably igno
rant. Reiug directed to the clerk’s offi
ce, John with a good deal of hesitation
informed the urbane Mr. Brown that lie
was going to get married to Betty Jones,
and wanted to know what he must do
to compass that desirable consumma
tion. Mr. Brown in a bland smile in
formed him, that after being satisfied
that no legal impediment, prevented, he
would grant a license.
“Allow me,” said Brown, "to ask
you a few questions.” You arc 21
years of age, I suppose, Mr. N ?”
“ Yes,” said John.
“ Do you solemnly swear that Betty
Jones, spinster, is of lawful age, (made
and enacted by the Legislature of Vir
ginia,) to to take the mnrriage vow?”
" What’s that?” said John.
Mr. B. repeated.
“Well,” said John, "Mr. Clerk, 1
want to get married, but I joined the
church at the last revival, and I
wouldn’t swear for a hundred dollars.”
“ Tfien, sir, yoa cannot get married.”
‘ 1 Can’t get married! Good gracious.
Sir. Clerk, they'll turn me out of the
church if I swear! Don't refuse me.
Mr. Clerk, for heaven s sake. I’ll give
you $lO if yon let me off from swear
ing.”
“Can’t do it, Nr. N
“Hold on, Mr. Clerk, I’ll swear. I
couldn’t give up Betty for ten churches.
I'll swear, may I be d d, if she ain't
18 years old—give me the license.
After the clerk bursted a few of the
buttons off his vest, he granted the
license.

Affecting.
Up in Podunk, where the thistle
Blooms, dies nnd rots ;
Where the winter whirlwinds whistle
All round the lots—
Lived the slickest gal you ever
Saw in your life ;
Ankle like a blue beech lever,
Voice like a fife.
As I sat by her a courtin',
Calm and serene—
With her apron she was sportin’,
Checkered and clean.
Mingled was our hash together;
All clay w-e sat,
A chawin’ gum in winter weather,
Happy as fat.
Long I stuck to her like teasles,
Summer and fall,
But she went oil with the measles,
Ankle and all.
SCARLETINA AND MEASLES.--Mr. Witt,
member of the Royal College of Sur
geons, has published a pamphlet in
which he states that carbonate of am- I
monia is a specific for the cure of scar
let fever and measles. He cites Dr.
Pearl, of Liverpool, and others practi
tioners, who have never lost a ease out '
of hundreds since adopting this remedy. ,
Two drachms of the bicarbonate of am
monia are disolved in five ounces of wa
ter, and two tablespoons of the solution
given every two, three or four hours,
according to the urgency of the symp
toms. No acid drink must he taken,
but only water, or toast and water. The
system is to be moved by a dose of calo
mel if necessary ! The room must he j
well ventilated, hut the patient protect- J
ed from the slightest cold or draft.—
Gargles should also he employed for ]
clearing the throat. The ammonia, it
is said, counteracts the poison which
causes scavletina, and also acts on the |
system by diminishing the freqency and j
at the same time increasing the strength
of the pulse. As so many children
die from these diseases in this country
this remedy ought to receive a fair trial
from the profession.

HP A Liver Remedy.—The
I Liver, according to Physiologists, occupies in ,
I our huAan economy a place second only to the :
| heart, and consequently is one of the greatest
dispensers of health and happiness, or sickness
and disease. To keep the liver in the proper
performance of its duties is to keep the system
in a state of health, and free from all bodily ills.
i Dr. Saxdford's INYIGORATOR is a great Reuu- i
lator of the Liver. It instills into it new life
and vigor, strengthens it, and invigorates it,
curing the louutain from whence so many
streams of sickness flow. We say to all who
arc troubled with any derangement of the Liv
er, such as Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache,
Billiousness or debility of system, do not fail to
try I)r. Sanford’s Liver Invigorator. decl-m
HP Neuralgia.—A gentleman
living in Philadelphia says :
“ In passing through Pittsburgh, some months
since, I purchased a bottle of BOERHAVE’S HOL
( LAND BI tTERS. It relieved me so much, that
j on returning home I bought two more bottles
j from Dr. Dyott, which completely cured me of
j Neuralgia. I have recommended the article to
i many of my friends, and four or five of the num
’ her say it cured them. I think that my recom
mendation has done more for its sale in Phila
delphia than your advertising.’’
(We are not permitted to publish the name,
but any person calling at the store, or commu
nicating with us by letter, will be convinced of
the truth of this statement.) decls-d6Acl

> (IT From the Missouri De
s moernt.—Upon Prof. 0. J. Wood, of St. Louis, |
fortune has conferred the honor of having dis
covered a balsamic preparation, which not only
promotes the growth of, and beautifies the hair
~ in a high degree, but restores it when it is gone,
f or turns it to its original co’or after it has he
ft come gray, fastens it to the scalp and effectually
■f destroys such cutaneous eruptions as may have
ft been engendered by the use of d es, essential
ft oils and other injurious applications. 'Jhc many
s respectable testimonials which are offered in its
favor, from every part of the country in which
• it has been introduced, leaves no loop for a skep
a tic to hang a doubt on. It is supplanting all other
specifics for the hair, and enjoys a popularity
! which no other has ever attained. Buy it—te3t
it —aud rejoice that your attention has been di
reeled to it.
e Cautio.v.—Beware of worthless imitations, as
* several are already in the market, called by dis
„ ferent names. Use none unless the words (Pro
t fessor Wood’s Hair Restorative, Depot St Louis.
t Mo., and New York), are blown in the bottle.

IIT The Great P r obleiai
ft Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
' DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomacli
has lost the power of duly converting food into a
s life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
* course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
e fluid re acquires its solvcntpower,andthecrudc
nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
Y 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-dolorenx
t. or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter-
B rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that j
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
" or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition
t of the wonderful machinery which conndtts cv-
ery member with the source of sensatiou, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
’> from tbo use of this Cordial, which at once calms, i
1 invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in
- j declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that
, ! woman has ever received from the hands of j
r • medical men.
n Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, lm-,
mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite j
While it renews tho strength of the digestive |
- powers it creates a desire for the solid material
. which is to be subjected to their action. As an
u appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
r , If long life and the vigor necessary to its en- j
joy ment are desirable, this medicine is indeed oi
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either
c sex or to any age. Tho 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
0 bility or from the weakness of a single organ
r will all find iramediateand permanent relief from
the u*e of this incomparable renovator. To)
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it i
- will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard j
t » against that terrible malady. There arc many
e perhaps who have so trifled with their const!tu- 1
r tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
= | Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove
- | the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con
stitution

,• —Hoxesdale Co., Penn., Jan. 10, 1850—Mr.
. i Seth W. Fowle— Sir : Yen are at liberty to use
. the following statement for the benefit ol the as
; j flicted:
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink ol
■ the grave. During my sickness lwas attended
; by three physicians in our place, but received
Ino help. I also tried the various remedies re- j
i commended fur such complaints, but they as- [
■ lorded me no relief. As a last resort, I was I
persuaded to try Wistar's Balsam of Wild !
Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored j
• to better health than I have eDjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Betsey Perrin.
The above certificate was given in the pre
sence of Dr. A. Strong, ol Honesdale, who is well
known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.
