(fcbnung ilispaftlr. AUGUSTA, GEO: Tuesday EtcrlllCi Dec» 1S58» Pictures Tnlten—Great Rush to See tin* Operators. We omitted for several days to notice the recent trips of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas to New Orleans, as well as that of Mr. Crittenden to New York for purpose of hating their pictures ta\en.~ The gentlemen drew each of these the outlines of their own pbisyognomies in the presence of vast gatherings of spec tators. We believe we could give a few strokes to either of the portraits which might have more of truth than of flattery in their effect. * Hon. Albert Pule. —We notice, says the Memphis Bulletin of the 18th., that some of our eastern exchanges are again publishing the death of this gen tleman. All a mistake, so far as their information is concerned, the Colonel, only a few days since, having set out from Fort Smith on a buffalo hunt.— This is the third time Mr. Pikp has heed “ killed ” by the newspapers.witliin the past yean Hog and Provision Trade. We gather from our exchanges the following facts in regard to the trade in, and supply of Hogs and piovisions at the principal points where they are dealt in. The movement in Hogs at Cincinnati up to last week, shows such an increase j in receipts up to that date, as to give strong support to the views of the bears. The number slaughtered up to that time, had reached 200,000, with contin ued receipts which seem fully to justify the belief that before the close of the season the number will have reached at least 250,000. This large number there, with not less than 280,000 at Louisville, and the increase at other packing points has a tendency to depress prices. The quotations.for heavy Hogs are $7, but it is difficult to realize over $0,75. Lexington, Ky., Dec. 10.—The Cen tral Kentucky Pork house, closed the season’s business, Wednesday last, hav ing slaughtered 16,000 hogs of superior quality. Pork and 2,500 tierces lard.. The average weight was 245. At Indianapolis the business was brought to a sudden stop by the cessa tion of sales. About 28,000 head had been slaughtered up to the 10th, and there were about 2,000 in the pens.— • Prices not given, though it is stated large lots of heavy hogs would com mand Cincinnati prices. At Louisville on the 10th, the num ber of Hogs received for the season is reported at 261,049. The market was firm and receipts light. One jirm in that city it is said, has made sales to the amouut of nearly half a million dollars. The packing season is regar ded as about ended. At St. Louis to the 10th, the number slaughtered had been about 35,000, with a considerable number in the pens The prices are quoted steady, at $5 50 a 6 70, for light to $6 a $G 50 for me dium and heavy. AtChicagaon the 11th the receipts were limited and prices receding, being about 10 cents lower than previously. *At Council Bluffs, lowa, the receipts have been fair. Prices ranging from $4 to $5 for light and heavy. At Toleda the weather was unfavora ble and receipts light. The tendency of prices is downward. The receipts were double those of last year. Gen. Scott. The Charleston papers of yesterday j contain the proceedings of the reception i extended to Gen. Scott, in that city on, Saturday. He is making a military j tour of observation of the condition of j the fortifications of Charleston, Key West, Mobile and New Orleans. Hej will return up the Mississippi, to Mem- j phis, and thence to Washington, via! Stephenson, Dalton, Knoxville and the Virginia railroad. He was received in j a style becoming to his position, and to: the hospitalities of the city. The ho-! tels were hung with banners, and the shipping displayed their colors; a salute of fifteen guns was fired, and the din ner, addresses, and presentation of citi zens occupied the day. On his depart ure the military escorted him to the steamer Isabel. Tile Coast Survey. There are now, says the Washington Union, thirty six Coast Survey parties in the field and|;afloat— on the Atlantic coast, eighteen ; on the Gulf Coast, twelve ; and on the Pacific coast, six.— These are distributed for the winter as follows : In the vicinity of Chesapeake bay, (Virginia,) two ; coast of North Carolina, three ; coast of South Caroli na and Georgia, seven ; Florida penin. gula, reefs, and keys, twelve ; coast of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, four : coast of Texas, two; and the coast of California, Oregon and Wash ington Territories, six. Several shares of Portsmouth In surance stock have lately been sold in that city for $29 81 per share—the par value being $25. r The number of hogs shipped! eastward from Bristol, Tenn., over the Virginia and Tennessee R. R., amounts for the season, to 7,500 against 10,000 for last year. HP Hon. Wm. C. Perkins is spoken of forjudge in place of Hon. Jno. A: Tucker, deceased. W. W. Leland and Chas. Leland, late of the Metropolitan Hotel, N. Y.,are on their way to Texas, were they go exclu sively into grazing, on a large and val uable ranche of over 70,000 acres. , [communicated.] Cuba amt the United States- While the people have gone mad about Kansas, and rampant Filibuster ism is no longer willing to bide the sage council of the order-loving majoritf of our country, Cuba has been forgotten , and that too, while Spain, France and England, are in triune conclave brooding schemes to erect a monarchy in this lit tle prodigy of fertility, and thus anni hilate the long and fondly cherished dream, that some day Cuba will he ours Much has been said, and written of late years, about annexing the “ever faithful island” to the United States. Some say purchase, other say fight, and others again, regardless of the over grown philanthropy of our trans-Atlan tic cousins, whose ready sympathy and may-be disinterested generosity, might some day prompt them to fasten on to Cuba with one of their parliamentary instru ments called a protectorate, 6ay let our good old mother nature accomplish her ends, she has placed this tropical green just where no one else can eventually win her beside the “ Sovereign States.” This sort of philosophy may be ques tioned. True it is, that nature, in locating this island between 19 deg. and 23 deg. North latitude, aud 74 deg. and 85 deg. West longitude, an out-post dividing the entrance to the Gulf and overlook ing the Carribian Sea, has done much to favor annexation ; she seems to have had a marvelous, far-reaching sight into futurity. There are influences, growing sympa thies between the United States and Cuba, that are daily, hourly strength ening, to the final good result of which, loud-mouthed clamor for fight or pur chase are diametrically incompatible. Our schools, colleges and counting rooms, are now receiving increasing numbers of youths for education. “As the twig is bent, so wi 11 the tree in cline.” These Cubans must,in our schools form attachments and sympathies with “ Young America,”, whereby they will become imbued with improved moral sentiment, with n high and more liber al order of social and religious princi ple, which neither tyranny nor death can eradicate. So that to those, who return to the green shore of their na tive island home, the Spanish soldier, I if not the priest, must become doubly : loathsome. In Cuba it is a rare thing to hear of a young man's going to the mother country or to England for edu cation. The beneficial results of this already begins to be felt and acknowledged in the commerce of the United States with j Cuba. But a few yearn since, and not! a single native Cuban merchant could have been found residing and doing bu siness in any of our principal commer cial marts, to-day there are no less than thirty purely Cuban firms in the city of New York alone, all wielding an influ ence entirely beneficial upon the trade of the country, employing American merchant vessels to import Spanish pro duce, and export American manufac ’ tured goods and wares, thereby aug ! menting an already lucrative trade 1 with the island, despite the prohibato ry taiiffs of Spain. It is due especially to their influence, ’ capital and perseverance, that we are ’ soon to have the city of Havana brought in daily communication with 6 Savannah, by a submarine and over * land telegraph, which will, in a short time, build up more intimate commer cial relations. The peculiar institutions of our coun ’ try, over which the freedom-loving spirit of Democracy presides, is peculi i arly attractive to Cubans ; they begin ' j to realize that there is but one step from | the governmental tyranny made more ! burthensome by the avaricious taxa . tions of impoverished Spain in Cuba, j to the elevating principles of social, : political and religious freedom in the j United States. There is certainly much to lure the j South on to the acquisition of Cuba, to i say nothing of the political balance of | power with the North that would be i gained. She would come in as a slave j State, and, in all probability, backed i by general Southern sentiment, would re-open the slave trade, and thus prove to the world that, after all, it is not such a hideous, inhuman crime to take the savage from the jungles of Africa and elevate him to the position of an intelligent being, Cuba, with an area of 32,000 square miles, and a population of 1,800,000, requires more slave labor to develope its dormant resources of agricultural aud mineral wealth, as well as the In telligence, industry, and experience of Americans to economize that labor when obtained. The total value of exports from the United States to Cuba, this year, may be estimated at near fifteen millions, to this add what she receives from Eng land, France and Spain, and some idea may be formed of her present consump tive resources. Under the American government she would soon become the most wealthy and prosperous island on the globe. Its numerous faultless har bors, its gold and copper mines, its dense forests of mahogany, upon whose stillness the sound of the axe has never broken, its mountain streams, where with to drive mills and manufactories, all offer facilities of wealth and power, no less surprising than inviting. These are a few of the elements of attraction which cause the United States to look forward, with eager desire, to the day (not far hence let us trust) when our country’s flag shall float over the im pregnable walls of the Moro and Ca banas. But let those, who clamor for fight, remember that great national aims are seldom, if ever, so successfully achieved by blood shed as by peace abiding trea ty—the one engenders enormous expen ditures, together with social and person- I il misery, while the other secures en • larged national prosperity and happi ? uess. When we prepare to fight Spain [ for Cuba, we must also prepare to meet England and France, who watch the 1 rapid growth of American institutions r with iynxed-eyed jealousy; they would . hate--aye, tremble, to see Americans in ■ possession of the island. With Eng 1 land, not alone because of its becoming a naval station for our men of war— s not alone because of its becoming a i sentry to protect our interests in the . Gulf, but because it would be robbing 1 her of a source of revenues almost as - great as that accruing to Spain. Where • would she then find a market for her I nefarious traffic in Coolies, that now ; keep so many of her merchant ships i profitably employed ? Her manufac tured goods and other articles of ex • port, which now find their way to Cuba, - would not then be wanted. i To buy Cuba is, perhaps, the most • plausable means of acquiring her. The! feeling among Cuban capitalists is unan imous on this point, and they would i gladly contribute their means to a ! cause so near to their hearts. There . is no time to lose, because the commerce • of Spain, with Cuba, under protection j ; of a stringent system of discriminative' ■ duties, is becoming, if not already, thei i sole support of the mother country, en. - abling her to swagger among the more : potent crown-heads of Europe, boasting the support of a well appointed army ■ of 95,000 men, and a navy of 1,140 l guns, at an annual expense of no less - than twenty-two millions. To sell Cu , ba would be relinquishing the almost - exclusive means of maintaining her vain glorious retinues ; her “Excellen : ticiinos Senores,” Senators could then ; no longer patch up the worn out glory ■ > of Spain, by making a show at the sac ■ • rifice of her public treasury. ; Last year the commerce of Spain with i Cuba amounted to about 100,000,000 : rials in imports, and 120,000,000 rials l in exports, making a total of 220,000,- ■ 000 rials, or $27,500,000. While Spanish commerce, with all i other nations has incredibly decreased, 1 it has, for twenty years, steadily im -1 proved with Cuba, so that the longer we delay in purchasing her, the larger will be the sum required to obtain her. Let the South make a move in this I direction, and rally around the cause of 1 Cuba, their lost sympathies for Kansas) —for with her must come the slave trade, not as a “piracy,” but legalized. , and by private, personal interests freed | from the revaiting practices and results) ' now common to it. Seriatim. :! Special Correspondence o] ihe Dispatch, \ Washington, Dec. I7th, 1958. ) Dear A.—The case of Judge Watrous) of Texas, has been decided in his favor, 1 Stephens making the last speech in the ‘ Judge's behalf. He was listened to with ’ great interest by the entire house, and ' probably had much influence in the 1 vote which was taken immediately after the concluding speech by Mr. Houston, ' of Alabama. Afiiendof mine, a distinguished cit i izen of Old Burke, who was present in - the gallorywhile Stephens was speaking, remarked that “ Little Eleck was great . in Georgia, but he is [greater in Wash -3 ington. It is true, and you ought to i be proud of him,” Americans and all. a The Pacific Kail Road Scheme is on - the carpet! in the Senate it is an ad t ministration measure, and as put before - the country by the President, will pro ably receive some Congressional aid.— - Private enterprise ought to be protected j ; and perhaps assisted in this affair, and ■ whenever it will pay, the road will go , on. The first lecture at the Smithsonian , Institute for the season was on last night by Dr. Kae, on the Artie Regions, who has made several expeditions for the purpose of obtaining information ) respecting the fate of the gallant but unfortunate Sir John Franklin. The first expedition by Dr. Rae, who was at the time Chief Factor, of the Hudson’s ! Bay Company, was in 1840. He arrived at York Factory, on the west side of Hudson’s Bay, on the Bth of October of that year, aud continued there during the winter, part of which was employed in preparing for the work of the ensu ing summer. He left for York Factory , on the 13th of June, 1856, and went L northwardly, reaching Repulse Bay on t the 26th of July. From Repulse Bay he examined the coast as far west as , Castor and Pollux river, between which and Cape Barrow, in the far western i part of the Polar Sea, considered in re [ ference to its position as regards North America, the whole coast had been ex : plored. Dr. Rae returned without as ■ fecting the direct purpose of the expe dition, though not without adding i information to what was already known ’ of the geography of that ice bound re > gion. The last expedition by Dr. Rae was performed in 1854, and it was du -1 ring this and when at Pelly Bay that some Esquimaux apprised him of their 1 discovery of several dead bodies of 1 white men on Montreal Island and Point 1 Ogle, to the west of Pelly Bay. Here too, they delivered up some fifty 1 or 'sixty articles, including watches, 1 knives, telescopes, &e., which had be longed to Sir John Franklin and others of his party. Dr. Rae then started to go the north, and succeeded in getting as high as Balfour Bay, a few minutes north of 69 north latitude. Beyond this he was unable to penetrate on ac count of the severiety of the weather , and excess of ice, and returned to York Factory in twenty days. The audience was large and manifested the greatest interest in the subject as narrated by him. There are to be three lectures each week at the Institute. I look forward to their occurrence with great pleasure and know you will look upon me as a “lucky dog” to have the privilege of attend ing them. Yours, Quartz. BY TELEGRAPH. Congressional.

The gastric fluid re acquires its solventpower, 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, st rength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the 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 unnaturalcondition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it are unanimous in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the hards 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 lor the solid material which is to be subjected to their action. As an appetiser it has no equal in the I’harmacopia. If long life and the vigor necessary to its en joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth Its beneficial effects arc 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 willa.ll find imraediateand permanent relief 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 malady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion that they think themselves beyond thercach 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 the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, coufusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, w retched ness, thoughts ofself-de siruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostratiou,irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste iucident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, liys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotcncy, constipation, etc., from whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute ly mraiirDie.
