Perkins.— This gentle man was nominated by a Convention of the Democratic party of the Pataula Circuit, held at Cuthbert on the 21st instant, as a candidate for Judge of the Superior Court of said Circuit, in the place of Hon John A. Tucker, deceased. Our Recent tripto Jefferson. In consequence of an invitation ex tended to us, we visited the examina tion held on Friday, 24th instant at Bethany Academy, Jefferson County. Wo were highly pleased with the man ner in which the gentlemanly principal, Mr. George H. Ratchford conducted the examination. The scholars were not drilled for the occasion, and were rigidly examined, giving general satis faction to all present by their correct answers and good deportment. Mr. R. is a gentleman of refined taste, and a most excellent Teacher. At night the “Wire Grass boys” gave specimens of their elocutionary powers which would have done credit to many orators more advanced in years. “A Race after din ner,” “The Loan of a Lover,” and a comic scene “initiation in the M. A. G. Society” were performed with great eclat. Miss Johnson as Ernestine, and Miss Parker as Gertrude in the “Loan of a Lover,” sustained their characters admirably, evincing histrionic powers of no little merit. Everything passed off agreeably. On Saturday, 25th instant, Baldwin Raiford Division Sons of Tem perance, turned out in large numbers, and moved in procession to the stand at the Camp Ground. The Hesperian Club lent the attractive influence of their beautiful music to the occasion, the amiable and accomplished Miss Caro line Hauser presiding at the melodeon. The club sang a song composed and dedicated to the Division, by a young lady of Savannah, and fitted to suita ble music by Dr. Wm. Hauser, who by the way is a fine and noble looking gentleman. An address was delivered by a young gentleman, upon which we forbear making comments. After music by the club, the assembly of between 500 or 600 ladies and gentlemen procee ded to the dinner table which was groaning under the weight of luxuries and substantials. The air was cool and bracing, and the crowd pitched into the “ good things” with heart and hand ; aud yet there was plenty left.— This section of the county is very pro lific in the production of plump faced, rosy-cheeked, ruby-lipped, handsome ladies—they can’t be beat in the State. The exercises closed with mirth and good feeling. We had the pleasure of meeting with J. M. G. Medlock. Esq., the talented editor of the Central Georgian whom we found to be as clever and mod - est as editors usually are. We were pleased to hear that the Georgian was in a flourishing condition. [communicated.] Poedorhymlc No, 9. Snooks wants to know if a Doctor, by looking at the tongue of a wagon, can tell what ails it . Dispatch. Why certainly he can. If he finds the tongue to be very muddy, it’s a symptom that the wagon is tired. And I may as well remark right here that it is quite a serious disease for anything to be afflicted with, as it is, if not speed ily arrested, very apt to affect the body, and whenever this happens, the very worst thing one can do is to allow eve ry feller to tamper with it. I spoke to a man about this matter a day or two since, and coupling his opinion with mine, we agreed that the cause of the disease could be traced to the great hub hub, that a wagon is apt to raise when going down a hill; and we also concur red in opinion, that the best thing to be done in such cases is to send it to the horse- pital. Keep your wheels well greas- ‘ ed, and your carriage will continue to wag-on for some time, but if the disease should return you must bolster it as well as you can. Chicago Standard Weight of Grain Inspection. —The following standard weight liavo been adopted by the Chica go Board of Trade as an additional test, the Press says, in Grain Inspection : “Club Wheat shall weigh sixty lbs. per bußshel. No. 1 Spring shall weigh fifty-six lbs. per bushel. “Standard” Spring shall weigh fifty lbs. per bushel. “Rejected” Spring shall weigh forty lbs. per bushel. “Standard” takes the place of Spring No. 2, in the former system. The new rule is to go into operation the Ist of January. f<r Harry, the servant of Mrs. Crooker, was killed on Saturday last by Elbert, a negro boy belonging to A.

Strolling down the streets of St. Louis, a few months since, I observed a stalwart six footer from Pyke, who was evidently a little by the head, gesticu lating violently to an appreciative crowd, and duly acquainting his hear ers with what was the matter with liim i self and his respected paternal. After his discourse had been some time con tinued, one of the guardians of the law thought he could tell what ailed our friend, and undertook to cut his story short. At the time I left, old Pyke had made a good fight, and had rather the better of the Charley, who, to use Pyke’s words, was “a giftin' chawed up bad”—that was “what's the matter with him," but the following eloquence was safely got off before the interrup tion took place : “I do allow Pop he's jest the greatest man ever ye see : lie’s naterally a little' backard ; but you jest take Pop and rile him up some, and thar ain’t no man as kin talk more nor what Pop kin talk. Thar is them as thinks thar ain’t no file; into him ; but I tell you he won’t al low none of his children to take no ad vantage onto him, and es they any on ’em Ekites things at his head, thar ain’t no man as will skite ’em back at ’em quicker’n what Pop’ll skite 'em back. “Uncle Ben is some heftier nor what Pop is, and he’s a drefful ugly cuss—; that’s what's the matter with him. On cet he got riled at Pop, and Towed he’d lick him. Wal, he pirooted round for! the old man, and he see him nigh the ! woods, and he peeled for him he did.— Pop he kep kinder quiet, liketell, Ben got dost, and then he kitched the back hitch onto Ben, and he throwed him bad ; and arter that he tied the critter to a tree, and kep him thar tell it got dusky, like, a grinnin’ at him; and when be was set loose, you never see no i man look no foolisher nor what Ben . looked. Oh, no! es ever ye get in on r Pop. and try fur the in turn onto him, ’ thar ain’t no man as will throw yer ' quicker nor what Pop will throw yer. > “Aunt Bets she tried to skeer the ole - man oncet. She made up a gost, she I did, outen a piller—turnippy hands and bread head, and she put it in Pop’s bed, ' and watched tell she got most asleep ‘ fur to hear him holler ; but he jest 1 didn’t holler, nary time—so she jest i peeked in, fur she was afeered he was 8 skeert so bad he couldn’t. But the ole j- man was all right, he was; he had eat , up the critter’s head and hands, and ‘ thar he laid, fast asleep, on the cuss’s i chest. Pop alius alowed he got the - best of Bets and the ole gost, but Bets she kep mum—that's what was the matter with her.

District Court convened at Key 1 West on Monday, 13th instant, a grand ‘ jury was empanueled to inquire into all , violations of the laws of the United n States, and during their enquiry a true bill was found against Peter W. From, first mate of the barque Lyra, which e was condemned as forfeited on the 22d 1 November last, for being engaged in the slave trade. The indictment against From was for a violation of the said slave laws. The Key of the Gtdf, of Saturday last, says the case was tried on the 20th inst., when it was “soon dis ' posed of, the prisoner acquitted and ’ discharged—the only 'interesting' part being the remark of the defending at i torney, that he did not ‘want to hear . Watlington on berth decks,’ nor Mo reno on brick bats!’ ” — Sac. News, 29th. Guano.— We saw, yesterday, a large lot of this article landing from the schooner Virginia, and we understand there are 172,000 lbs. now in port, des tined for the interior, nearly half of which is for Warren county. We are - pleased to see this active movement, as i it presages a resuscitation of the soil of , our beloved old State. It has doubtless , been prompted by the liberal policy of the Central Railroad Company in car-j : rying fertilisers at a price just sufficient • to defray expenses. We tiust the bread i thus cast upon the waters may have a . speedy return in the increased produc > tion of cotton and other products which pay freight to tne road.—Sot. Repub. Robert Hunt's 111111 l Day. * We understand that the Hon. James A. Pearce, United States Senator, and j the Hon. James L. Orr, Speaker of the- House es Representatives, have been! solicited, and have accepted the invita tion of the Burns’ Club, in this city to preside at the centennial celebration of the birth day of Robert Bums, on the 25th of January next. We believe Mr. Pearce is a lineal descendant of the house of Ramsay, represented by Lords Dalhousie and Panmure, two eminent British statesmen. Mr. Orr is Scotch and Irish in descent, and fully appreci ates the poetical genius of Scotland’s great bard. Sir Archibald Alison, the historian of Europe, is to preside at a similar cele- j bration in Glasgow, and Lord Macaulay,’ the historian of Eugland, will preside in London. The veisatile Lord Brough : am does honor to Scotia’s peasant bard, and will preside at the Edinburgh fes tival. No one who participates in this festiv ; ity can expect ever again to witness an other. Preparations are making where ever the English language is spoken to’ do honor to the author of “Tam O’- Shanter,” “Man was made to Mourn,” : and “And a man’s a man for a’ that’.” 1 Cols. William aud James Burns, sons of the poet, are to be present at the: Dumfries celebration. Burns’ genius belongs not only to! Scotchmen, but to humanity ; then let j all unite to do him reverence. —National Intelligencer. Rev. James Wilson, a Methodist cler- ’ gyrnan, at Locks Village, Mass., has been fined sl, for throwing a fork full | of manure, on E. H. Fitts, a school! teacher. I The National Finances. j Eighteen months ago the public debt j! of the United States but slightly excee s ded twenty-five millions of dollars.— _ Now it exceeds fifty-four millions, and , it is abundantly evident that before we are a year older it will exceed sixty . millions. rj This is not the fault of the Govern . ment, or of the public policy of the r country. There have been, within the - past two years, no unusual and extrava , gant expenditures, no foreign wars, no [’enormous outlays for unproductive .’works of internal improvement. On , the contrary, the public expenditure , has been less profuse than usual ; many r ’ wholesome projects have been postpon -31 ed for the take of economy; just com .; plaints against foreign nations have re : mained unredressed ; several branches t; of the public service have been less es . i ficient than they might have been had . the functionaries in charge of them ij been remunerated with a less nigardly , | hand. The financial embarrassment in j .j which the United States happen to be| j placed arises from no fault of the Ad-! ministration. It springs simply from a failure of income. ; The United States derive the bulk of I their income from two sources—the ■ sales of public lands and duties on for | eign imports. Unlike other civilized nations, they levy no direct taxes on their citizens, impose no pecuniary tolls on commerce, locomotion, industry, or j agriculture. The receipts from customs ! are to those from public lands as 10 to 1 ! or, some years, as 15 to 1. It may, in: fact, be said, in general terms, that the customs revenue is the back bone of the financial system of the country. This! revenue is dependent on the consump ; tion of foreign products by the people j i of the United States. When they are’ i poor aud minded to economize they; i consume but a small quantity of for-j i eign dutiable goods, and the revenue j from customs falls off ] when they are: ; j rich and feel like being extravagant | ! their consumption of foreign goods in-; > ’ creases, and the customs revenue is aug- ’ s| mented in proportion. The first consc-| t. quence of the revulsion of 1857 was to . impel people of every class to retrench i their expenditure; it was this retrench t j ment which reduced the public income ; t! and placed the nation in the attitude of i ’ a borrower. I ij The President and the Secretary ofj 11 the Treasury naturally regard the sys-: 1 tern of loans, as a means of supplying ij the deficiency in the Treasury, to be in- j : j convenient and unfair. It is not right; s j that in time of peace, we should throw 31 upon future generations the burden of - j suppporting the government of the 3[present day. They therefore recom | mend an increase of duties on certain i imports, in order to swell the customs i revenue to an adequate figure, i It is very doubtful whether this ex ! pedient would attain the end proposed, i The imposition of a duty on iron would, i j for instance, largely stimulate home ■ j production ; and, as the country is not i j likely to be a large purchaser of railroad 1 j iron for some time to come, it is quite I possible that a material increase in the j duty might operate simply as a check • on importation. So with other articles. 1 j The feeling of the people, just now, Mis to economize. If Congress con-; ' j trives to raise the price of this or thatj foreign fabric or commodity by mcan6 3 j of a new tariff, it is quite possible that! the public may dispense with its use.! ' There was, till this year, no article re ; garded as so generally indispensable as ‘ tea; yet, as we showed the other day, . since the revulsion, the people of the 3 ; United States have almost altogether " j dispensed with it, and have drunk cos -8 j fee, in many instances, without sugar. ; It is quite doubtful, therefore, whether s an increase of duties would necessarily e produce an increase of revenue, y Apart from this consideration, the j plan of depending on fluctuating tariffs 1 for a public income is, theoretically and [1 practically, open to grave criticism. It; e is only a few years since the gravest _ evils were introduced into the govern-; ij j ment by the superabundance of reve -[ venue ; it was only last year that the :i tariff was amended expressly in order; t to reduce the public income. Now itisj 1 proposed to increase the duties again.! f If, next year, trade revives, aud impor i tations recommence on the old stand- J - ard, in 1859 Congress will again be I called upon to reduce the duties. Thus; t the tariff of the U. S. will be perpetually . changing; commercial calculations will; • be eternally liable to defeat from Con j - gressional enactments, and the public revenue will oscillate regularly between injurious plethora and impending bank ! ruptcy. Surely this is not the financial j system that ought to prevail. ' There is no reason why at least an ex ; periment should not be made to estab : lish a system of direct taxation. There ! is no city or county in the United Htates ; which is not taxed directly for munici pal, county, or State purposes. A fed ; eral tax would be understood at once ; : ! would be paid without flinching ; and ■ might be collected without ruinous ex ■ pense. If it were found to work well ' the whole system of customs duties 1 might be abolished without injury to any one, and with manifest advantage 1 to the commerce of the country.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—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 fluid re acquires its solvent power, 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, strength and healih. The nervous's uflerer, while tormerted by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux or ordinary headache, afUicted 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 nny 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 cairns, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous organization. Females who have tried it are unanimm s in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that woman has ever received from the ha> ds 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 ar. appetiser it has no equal in the Pharraacopia. If long lile and the vigor necessary to its en joyment arc 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 de bility or from the weakness of a single organ willall flud immcdiatcandpermanentrelief 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^nalady. There arc many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu tion thatthey think themselves beyond tbereach 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 di-order itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de struction, fear of insanity,hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritabilily, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, constipatiou, etc., from whatever cau -e arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placedon human testimony,absolute ly infallible. !
