(£bemitg pspatcjr. AUGUSTA. GEO : Tuesday ETenlng, Jan. 11,1859. From our Charleston Correspondent. Charleston, S. C., Jan. Bth, 1859. It is not in the best of humor that 1 write to-day, as during the last three weeks 1 have received but one Dispatch, and that I obtained by begging, from the Charleston Mercury. Now, why is this ? Who is to blame ? Is it the Post Ofliee Department of the U. States —or, is it the “mailing department” of the Dispatch, —l leave the matter in your hands, friend Atkinson, for I have been repeatedly assured that the fault is not in the Post office here, and it must therefore be at Augusta, for we are a very correct and business like people in this same city of Charleston, and of course, not as liable to error as those of the" rural districts.” Seriously, how ever, I do trust some way may be devis ed whereby I shall receive my Dispatch regularly. The past week has supplied us with • amusements of various kinds. First Miss Maggie Mitchell has entranced and spell-hound us at the Theatre, and will conclude a two weeks' engagement to-night. She is now firmly established as a favorite, and will ever be heartily welcomed. By the way, the "pit” of our Theatre bids fair to rival that of the "Old Bowery,” New York city, so far as rowdyism and loud words are concern cerned, notwithstanding three Police men are every night detailed to pre serve order at the Theatre. Unless a reform is made in this direction, the quiet and orderly class of community will prefer to remain at home, since they cannot now hear one half that’s epokei: from the stage. Leo Taylor has been astonishing us with his feats of magic, and it is the general opinion that be is the best ma gician that has ever opened a “Tem ple” here. Dr. Reentz is showing a Panorama of the New Testament, the scenes of which are very forcibly painted and well ex plained An animated discussion has been go ing on relative to the expediency of abolishing the practice of intra-mural interments. A lengthy and able report in favor of abolition was made at a late meeting of the City Council —was or dered printed, and laid over for future consideration. The Committee of Ways and Means report that seven hundred thousand dollars will be required to meet the expenditures of the present fiscal year. The slaver brig Echo, registered Put nam, was sold here on the 6th inst., by the United States Marshal, for $2,300, cash. On the loth inst., the Pavilion Hotel, familiarly known as “Butt’s,” andoall cd thus “for short,” corner of Meeting and Hasel streets, is to be sold at auc tion, under Decree iu Equity, for the benefit of the City of Chavlestiou.— Here is a chance for some one to secure a well located and commodious Hotel, as the amount of the purchase money is divided into eight equal annual in stalments, to be secured by bond and mortgage of the premises. The storm on last Thursday night and yesterday morning was of an unu sual character for this season of the year, being more like those of summer. 1 Copious and repeated showers, attended ; by heavy thunder, disturbed our mid- ! night slumbers, and reminded us of a , second deluge. The Court of Appeals, in both branch- 1 es, will be opened in this city for the 1 January Term, on Monday, 10th inst. The Court of General Sessions and j Common Fleas for Charleston District, will begin the January term of four weeks, upon the same day. The spring i term of the country circuits will begin on the the first Monday, (7th) of March , —the return day for the opening court , on each circuit, being on Saturday, 19th February. Foster, the burglar, whose arrest I reported last week, escaped from his keepers at the Guard House, on last Wednesday night, but was recaptured on the following day about twenty miles up the South Carolina Railroad, aud brought back to stronger and less comfortable quarters thau those from which he escaped. I fear that I inadvertantly did injus tice to Messrs. Colton & Co., in my last letter, in placing Johnson as a “rival publisher”—whereas, the truth is that the Coltons have long since ceased to ! consider any one as a “rival.” They i may indeed feel proud of the position they have attained as Map Publishers, having the confidence of navigators, the United States Government, and the public generally. I trust this explana tion will serve to correct any erroneous impression that may have originated in my previous letter. While this subject is “fresh,” I will say a few words re specting “Colton’s illustrated Cabinet Atlas and descriptive Geography.” which has just been published, and which the general agent. Col. Lockwood, is now about to send out to his canvassing agents thronghout the eastern South. It is neatly gotten up in one vol., royal quarto, with 113 steel plate maps and plans, and abont 600 wood cuts.— The typographical appearance of the work is perfect—the maps are beautiful ly clear and handsomely colored, while the several hundred wood cuts repre senting scenery, remarkable places, no ted edifices, &c.. render the reading mat ter doubly interesting to the student , It is surprising what an immense amount of statistical information is cm braced in this valuable work, which together with the attractions noted above, make it a valuable acquisition for either the family, the school room. or the counting house. For a more defi nite idea, I must refer the reader to the work itself. GUY. Extensive Kin- I'i Clinrlcton. Charleston, Sv C., Jan. 9, 1859. Chisolm’s Bice Kill, located on Ash ley river, at the South-west corner of the city, took lire at 11-45 A. M., to day, and, with its contents, was entirely consumed, in one hour’s time thereafter. The mill contained sixty thousand bushels rice, forty thousand of whick was the property of Messis. Robertson & Blacklock. Total loss, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Ten thousand dollars insurance upon the Kill—none on the rice. The origin of the fire is a complete mystery. Mr. Robt. Chisolm states ; that he was through every part of the i mill at 10 A. M., to day, at which time i there was no appearance of fire. Our f firemen worked with their usual promp f titude, and to their almost surperhu * man efforts the surrounding dwellings owe their preservation. GUY. h i<r 1 he Ringgold Express says that a i little boy, son of Wm. A. Cami>, of that 1 place, was burned, while playing with a * lighted candle, so badly that he died * in a few hours. t »••-- — Public Daws of Geurgla, Passed at th« 1 General Assembly, 185 8* y AN ACT to extend the writ of Ccrtio f rari to Possessory Warrants.

This furnishes a salutary warning. What will be the gross cost of an un constitutional enterprise, of which the mere incidents are so alarming ?

THE HYPOPHOSPHITES OF LIME, SODA AND POTASH, A SPECIFIC REMEDY FOR TIIE TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTION. rpilE important discovery made bv! X Dr. John Francis Churchill, ot Paris, after j j luug and careful scientific rese roll, tiiat the, proximate cause, or an essential condition, of Tuberculosis (Cm mnption,) was a dkcrkask in the syilem. of Phosphorus in an oxygrnizahle state, led him to the obvious conclusion ihat the means of ccrixo the disease consisted in kk i storing the deficient element. 1 To effect litis it was necessary to use such a compound of Phosphorus which should be both oxygenizable and assimilable—that is. capable ol entering Into, and forming a part of the sys tern. These conditions he found to exist,*n an eminent degree, in a certain comj>ouml of the HTPOPHOSPniTts of Lime, Soda and Potash. The use of this preparation ol Phosphorus was found to have a two fold specification. On th one hand they increase the principle which con slitute.- nervous force; and on tiie other, they are. tar the most powerful blood-generating agents known. Dr Churehill first communicated his discovery to the French Academy of Medicine in 1856. Since then his treatment lias been adopted witu unparalleled success throughout Europe, as a preventive and cure of this most fearful scourge. The Sect* of this preparation of Phosphorus are shown in an increase of nervous power, of ten from the Ilr.-t day of their use, with an un usual feeling of comfort and strength. The ap rrrriTE ini erases in an extraordinary manner. The evacuations become regular and uokk abundant ; the perspirations, if any have ex isted, cease; sleep bkcuhls calx and profound. All the geueral systems disappear with a rapid ityth t is truly marvellous. The cure of Consumption in the second and third stages (at a period, consequently, when there can be no uncertainty as to the nature of the disease,) can be obuifhed, in ail eases, by this treatment except when the existiug les ion of the luug? is ot itself sufficient to produce death Contrary to the opinion generally re ceived, the third stage ol Consumption is, ail other circumstances being equal, more amena ble to treatment tbau the second. Hereditary predisposition seems >n no way to counteract the effect ot the Hypo phosphites ; patient* in whom it was most strongly marked recovering as rap idly as others. This remedy has not only a curative effect, hut will, if used wherever there exists a suspi cto of the disease, prevent its development, and tints act as a preservative with regard to consumption, just as vaccination with regard to smallpox. Price $2 per bottle, or three bottles for $5.
