Coming pspatcjj.j AUGUSTA, GEO: | TudriayEvenlnfi Jnn. 18, 1859, f ~~(ig~A Washington telegraphic dis- ' patch in the New York Herald says. j “ A movement is going on quietly here to organize an opposition to the Charles ton Convention on the part of 'e a oiug | democrats from the North. So far Ohio ( ladiaaa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minneso j ta and Illinois are the only States men tioned as likely to take hold of the movement, but the promoters of it are i in hopes of spreading it over all the j Northern States. It is of course an- , other step towards disorganizing the , party, and if successful must lead to a scrub race for the Presidency. Douglas’ friends are believed to be at the bottom of it” We regard this as a pure hoax, but •will be pleased to learn that any move ment of the kind is to succeed. This story is no doubt intended to frighten the timorous souls of those who wor ship the idea of national party. Let Mr. Douglas and his friends at the North have a convention of their own, by all means ; it is the surest means of killing off the worst enemy the South has. Such action at the North would be an amazing relief to the Charleston Convention, and would place Stephen Arnold Douglas on the same shelf on which one Martin Van Buren died.— If Mr. Douglas will make the trade,we shall be extremely happy to give him a full title to all the conventions he can muster North of Mason and Dixon up on his abandoning all pretentions in Charleston. Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. Washington, D. C., Jan. 13,1859. In the Senate, Iverson, of. Ga., made a speech early this week, on the Pacific Railroad bill; it was disunion in senti ment, and excited much astonishment. Toombs has not yet opened his mouth on any subject, but he is quietly filling up, and whether he will come down on Senator Hammond, on Douglas, on the opposition generally, or on the admin istration cannot now be foretold. Sure it is, that in the nature of things, and of the man, something must be done, and will be done, every way worthy of the occasion when it occurs. President making has not yet com menced ; the posts are setting ; the wire Is spinuing ; the operators are learning the new alphabet which the condition of the times in 1860 will require, and all things will be in .readiness before the time airives for the final display. Several new traps are to be sprung before the final ring is staked out. Some few preliminaries, such as the acqusi tion of Cuba, the protection of Mexico, the emigration to Central America, anc the disposition of the question as tc those “jolly sons of the jungle,” must be fully understood if they cannot be definitely settled, before the contestants can “shy their castors into the Presi dential ‘ling,’ ’’ The Black Republicans intend to make the Pacific Railroad scheme do their party some service in the next cam paign, and as the relations of the Nc: 1 'i, with the Pacific coast are most intimate, the Whig party dead, and the Ameri cans at the North almost “non est inven tus—in swampo non come-atabus,” and con sequently only the Democracy to tight them, with any hope of even partial success there, its thunder will start'e the giant energies of New England and the nigger question will thus be permit ted to rest. I hope it will be so ; for , anti-slavery, like anti-masonry, has had its day, and performed its use, it is | bound to die, the one like the other. : Spasmodic excitements are short lived, they die of old age. Abolitionism is as Chas. J. Jenkins said of the Democratic party, a “hoary headed sinner." As j to the good it has accomplished, there is hardly a slave owner in the South who cannot be truly thankful that the agitation of the subject has placed him on his defence, and on the right ground in relation to the institution. Before • the agitation and discussion of the question, the South looked upon slave ry as an evil, but one that has descended to them, and while it was considered to be an organic 6in, the hope was enter tained that in the process of time some means wouid be adopted to do away with it entirely. They saw clearly that as the Africans were on their hands, they should keep them at present, and only look for some change in the condi tion of things which would enable them to remove this stain from their other wise fair escutcheon. Now, however, the slaveholder's conscience is entirely at ease ; he looks upon slavery as the proper normal condition of the African He considers that while the negro has certain rights, certain claims upon the white man, the white man has certain claims upon him, and that his happi ness is promoted by being retained in a stote of sevility. I submit whether I have not stated the facts fairly ; and whether the agita tion of the subject ought not to be a matter of congratulation among South ern men, rather than otherwise? With out offering one word of apology for the agitators, I call the especial atten tion of the readers and exchanges of the Dispatch to the view presented above, and if it is correct, ought it not to have Bome influence on the manner in which the relations between the North and South are treated ?

Cumming, Forsyth Co., Ga. 1 January 15th, 1859. j Dear Atkinson An occasional item from this land of big h'lls—of gold t dust and prolific wheat fields—of hand ' some men, beautiful women,and bounc ' ing, hearty babies— will not be repulsive j to you, I trust, or objectionable to your , legion of readers. j Wc have had, thus far, no real win- j ter weather, save one or two cold snaps, of one or two days' duration ; but we have had sluices of rain, and whilst I write the clouds are dark and lowering and floods of water continually pour ing down. The meat killing season is abort over, and pork is abundant for home consumption, and some for mar ket, the price ruling at five cents nett. We have thousands of bushels of old corn and wheat, selling, the former at 40 cents, and the latter at 60 a 65 cents, per bushel, with but small transactions in either article. Money matters are close, and a clamor for the “almighty dollar ” on all sides. There is but lit tie suing however, especially in the higher courts. Our jail here is full, and the expenses to the county ot dieting and guarding the prison very neavy. The sovereigns are grumbling thereat loudly and con stantly. Before our jail is cleared of its present tenants, an expenditure of at least $5,000, in direct taxes, for the pay ment of Judge’s salary, solicitor's sal ary and fees, jury fees, expenses of feed ing prisoners, Court costs, and witnes ses fess, etc. etc , will have been incur red— and for what ? merely to sustain two filthy doggeries in the county, pay ing, both of them together, into the county Treasury, the magnificent sum of twelve dollars and fifty cents for their Li cences ! Deduct this amount from the , $5,000, and you have the profits to the public of the speculation ! Yours, &c. Forsyth. From the N. Y. Sun, Jan■ 13. 1 Failures lit 1857 and 1858. A circular issued by the Mercantile i Agency of Douglass & Co. furnishes a ; comparative etotement of the number of failures in the United States in 1857 and in 1858, and of the total amounts ! oj liabilities. It was in the fail of 1857 1 that the great financial storm swept , over the Uuion, and over Europe also ; f and while the weak and rotton con cerns tumbled down during the first weeks of its fury, others which posses ‘ sed a be ; ter basis resisted for a time, } and were only forced down by the pres r sure of suriounding ruins. It is grati j fying, however, to note that in nearly , all of the Middle and Eastern Stales, in 1 which the storm raged at first witli 3 most destructive force, there are signs of improvement, g In New York city and Brooklyn the e number of failures in 1867 was 915, the average liabilities of each being $147,- ' 682 and the total amount of liabilities ) i being $135,129,00. In 1858 the netn d her of failures was 406, the average o liabilities of each failure being only .j $43,777, and the total amount of liabil ities being but $17,773,462. In the * whole State the number of failures in 8 1867 was 1,686, and the total amount -of liabilities was $150,617,CC3. In 1858 the total number of failures in the . State was 766, and the totul amount of “liabilities $24,252,000. In Philadel r phia the total number of failures in ' 1857 was 280, and the total amount of liabilities $32,954,(30. In 1858 the failures numbered 10*3, and the liabili ties amounted to $10,002,285. In Bos- 1 ton the failures in 1857 wore 253, with ; liabilities to the extent of $41,C00,010. In 1858 the failures were 123, and the liabilities $4,178,925. In Cincinnati there were 96 failures in 1857, with liabilities of $3,898,0CD. In 1858 the failures were 51, with liabilities of $,345,533. In St. Louis there were 49 failures in j 1857, with liabilities of $5,552,C00 ; in 1858 there were 22 failures, with liabil- i ities of $782,980. In New Orleans j i | there were 58 failures in 1857, with lia- 1 bilities of $6,285,000 , and in 1858 the < failures were 45, with liabilities of i ! $3,465,000. The total number of fail- i tires in the United States in 1857 was i 4,932, with liabilities amounting to 1 j $291,730,000 ; and the total number in i 1 1858 was 4,225, with liabilities amount- < ;ing to $95,749,662, making the total ] amount, for the two years, $387,499,662. I In New York State the failures decreased i iin 1858, as compared with 1857, nearly ; | forty per cent., in the New England i iStates, thirty six percent.; in Pennsyl- i vania they decreased nearly thirty two per cent., in Ohio, eighteen and a half per cent.; in Indiana, nearly twenty seven per cent.; in lowa, seventeen per cent. In Michigan, the failures in 1858 are nearly equal to those of 1857,. ami the State is recovering but slowly from her prostration. In Illinois the failures in creased twenty per cent, in 1858, but they were mostly in the rural portions of the State, to which the full effects of the panic did not extend until after the close of 1857 ; and what is true of Illi nois in this respect applies also to most of the western States. Omitting Chica go, however, in which speculation had run wild, Illinois has not suffered very severely. In Chicago, the failures in 1857 numbered 117, with liabilities . amounting to $6,572,000 and in 1858 there were 87 failures, with liabilities ' amounting to $3,590,664 In the bal -1 ance of the State there were 199 failures in 1858, with liatilp'.es of $2,766,000 ; i and in 1858 there were 305 failures, with liabilities amounting to $4,978,210. In the Southern States the effects of the panic were not fully experienced •; until 1857, and the failures in that vear i show a large increase over those in 1857; . but, from the general absence of wild speculation’in the South, it maintains a (rood degree of steady prosperity. The r Canadas have suffered severely from the pinic, hut though business is still dull, t there are signs of improvement there as well as in the United States. The law of Massachusetts, which ' makes unlicensed liquor-selling a nuis ' ance, has Iteen pronounced constitution al by the Supreme Court of that State A croaker, who is ever mourning over the profligacy of the times, cites as an illustration of his views, that at the last ball there were a good many mem berß of the church, and but one Christian present.

The success of Gen. Robles, in over- , turning the Zuloaga government and taking the reins of authority himself, excites no surprise here among those familiar with his plans and resources He started from this city more than six | months ago with the approbation and i at the instance of the French and Span ish governments, whose agent he is in Mexico. The dispossession of Zuloaga was a mere matter of form, ariauge ments having been made long since for that event. A change in the govern- j merit was absolutely necessary, so un- , popular had Zuloaga become, and Ro- j hies was named as most likely to carry out intelligently and effectively the al lied interests. Hence the triumph of Robles means nothing more than another stride of the Spanish-French alliance towards the consummation of its scheme on Mexico. Thus it is, that the web of European policy on this continent is be ing steadily and rapidly woven. Mean while oar own government, that is most vitally interested, sits by an indifferent or heedless spectator. Congressional. Win. 11. Seward Legislating for Southern Men Mr. Seward introduced a bill in addi tion to the acts which prohibit the Afri can slave trade. [This bill provides that in addition to the vessels now employed, the Presi dent is authorized to employ ten steam vessels, to lie approved by the Secretary of the Navy, and to cause them to be properly equipped, to cruise on any of the coasts of the United States, or Cuba, or the coast of Africa, or elsewhere, where he may judge, attempts may be made to carry on the trade in contra vention of the acts of Congress; con fers the power on the Legislature of any State to pass laws prohibiting for eign slave trade within its limits, and to declare such punishment as they deem expedient, consistent with the Constitution of the United States. No vessel is hereafter to depart from any port of the United States for the coast of Africa until due notice is given of the intended voyage to the district at terney of the United States for that dis trict ; the district attorney shall cause , an examination to be made, to be con [ tinued until her actual departure, to ■ ascertain whether she be designed di rectly or indirectly for the slave trade. . Vessels attempting to depart in viola ■ tion of this act to be declared forfeited t to the United States, with their stores ■ and equipments. Any vessel departing without clearance to be forfeited. No t vessel belonging to any citizen of the United States shall on any pretext de part from any foreign port to the coast ' of Africa, when such vessel shall have been sold after her departure, without , first returning to the Udited States and , being duly registered and licensed , anew in some port of the United States, 'i cl ... A Seditious Young Lady.— The Brit ish journals have had much to say about 3 the trial of Montnleinbert, in France, for writing seditious articles ; but their B own government has placed a young lady in limbo, for a similar offence, in 3 Ireland. The Tipperary Examiner says; Last evening, the Fothard police escorted into Clonmel a young, lady -8 like, and extremely delicate girl named J Ann Walton, and had her in jail on a • charge of having written several sedi ’ tious letters — one of which, we under ‘ stand, constitutes the head and front 1 of her offending, written on the 20th ult., and calling on her Majesty's for ' ces >‘to rebel aud mutiny,” as the lan guage of the commital expresses it ‘ Inquiries made at the jail have failed j to elicit any information respecting the position and connexions of the prisoner. 'To all appearance the accused is highly respectable and iltelligent. We may mention, enpassant, that rumor* touch ing her sanity freely obtained today. British Government in Ireland must jbe in great danger, when a simple minded young lady can occasion so much alarm. Origin of Cholera. A letter written J oti board the U. S. ship Powhatan, says that cholera had its origin in 1820, in j tha province of Shanting, China, which embraces the great peninsula of that name, Many years have since passed , away, but still the deadly disc.ne re-. mains alike there, and over all the sea-; board and plains, and is likely to re i main for ages to come. The mystery j of its appearance is dispelled by the ap-' pearance of the country ard its inhale- i tants. Malaria is created by the s' ig naut water, covered with green and yellow matter often, and vaised to a tepid heat by a burning snn ; end the malaria wafted far and wide by thei winds, carries death wherever it goo-, j From these sea-shores it has swept over Asia, Europe and America, and the dis i tant islands of the sea, carry ing desola tion and sorrow wherever human heart", were to be found. How to Punch a Man.— “ Judge, you say if I punch a man in fun, he can take me up for assault and battery?” “Yes, sir, I raid that, and wlmt 1 say I repeat. If you punch a man you are guilty of a breach of the peace, and can be arrested for it.” “ Aiu’t there no exceptions?” “ No, sir, no exceptions whatever ” “ Now Judge, I goe s you are mista ken —suppose, for instance, I should brandy punch him. what then!” “ No levity in court, sir ; Sheriff, ex pose this man to the atmosphere Call the next case.” A Model Lover —The Detroit Free Press gives the following description of the negro who recently won the heart ami hand of the young white heiress in that city:—We were at some little pains yesterday to get a sight of this modern Othello who had won a second Desde mona, and found a lean, long shanked, hobbling darkey, about fifty years of age, his white wool showing off a coun tenance of superfine ivor)y black to a ! frightful advantage. In his escape from the South he received a shot in one of his legs, which adds nothing to the ele 1 gance of his locomotion.and there is not a solitary ivory remaining, to relieve the horrid chasm that yawns whenever he attempts to smile. ■*«♦'•» The Last Male Hkprbskntatiye of Sir W*i,tkk Scott. —The dealli of the only son of Mr Hope Scott is announced This intakes ting child was the only liv ing male defendant of Ids illustrious great grand lather, Sir Walter Scott whose name be bore.

The lead fields of Missouri extend t through Jefferson, Franklin, Wasliing f ton, Iron, St. Francis and Madison coun „ ties in the eastern part of the State, and Jasper, Newton, Taney and several e other counties in the South-western part of the State. The country is rolling, u and varies both in physical geography and geology. The altitude of the dis tricts producing lead, vary from 250 to St. Louis. The country is well water s e 4; several clear springs breaking out' ' on almost every section of land. There y is more or less good farming land e through the whole district. The tim her consists of white oak, black oak, t hickory and yellow pine on the ridges, e and ash, sugar tree, walnut and buckeye t in the valley. The lead-bearing rocks ] include a vertical range of strata of I near 2000 feet. The lead deposits of Missouri may be ’ classed under the four distinct classes of veins. 1. North and South gash ; ! veins. 2. East and West pipe or gash j t veins. 3. Horizantal veins in the open 1, I ing between the strata of limestone, r 4. Unstratified deposits. The veins of j g the first class include the Sandy, Mount n Hope, Virginia and numerous other i:: veins that have been worked extensive- \ ©; ly and yielded large amounts of ore. - j The second class have been worked at; 1 Flat river, Potosi, Rich woods and other a places. The third class are found on; • the Merrirnacin Franklin comity. The - fourth class include the great mass of t mines found and worked in all the i counties named. Mining has been done - in Missouri for the last fifty years, and - neaily $50,000,000 woith of ore has been produced. This, judging from the 1 extent of the lead fields, and amount • of service proved by practical mining, . should not include over one per cent. I ■‘of the ore that these fields will yield. Mining lead veins must eventually be-j come one of the great industrial pur suits of tile State. We now pay Eng land and Spain nearly $2,000,000 annu ally for imported lead, and this when we have fields of unparalleled richness at home. 1 ' * * ' j Statistics or Romanism—The Metro politan Catholic Almanac, gives statis tics of the present and past condition of , the Papal church in this country, from which we learn that in 1774 there were .only nineteen priests iu the United States, (then colonies.) In 1790 there | was one bishop and twenty priests. In ' 18CJ two bishops and forty priests. In ; 1808 two bishops and sixty eight priests In 1830 the number had increased to ; ten bishops,232 priests,and 230 churches In 1839, 1 province, 10 dfbc: ~ses, 18 i bishops, 478 prieits, and 418 churches. , In 1849, 3 provinces, 30 dioceses, 26 ■ bishops, IC3O priests, and 9C6 churches I In 1858 the numbers had increased to 7 1 provinces, 43 dioceses. 2 vicariates, 45 bishops. 2108 priests, and 2334 churches , i The most rapid growth has been in the j : Western States ; the diocese of Mil wan kue, for instance, having 187 churches, , ' while New York has but 78, Philadel- , ; phia 153, Poston 85, New Orleans 73. — < In the archbishopric of tit. Louis, con taining the diocese of St. Louis, Alton, Chicago, Dubuque, Milwaukee, Nash-’ 1 ville, Santa Fe, St. Paul, and Kansas, 1 there are 599 churches, while in the ! j archbishopric of New York, comprising 1 ; New York, Boston. Brooklyn, Buffalo. ' Burlington, Hartford, Newark, and | i ! Portland, there are but 576. These fig i ures show that Romanism thrives most rapidly in those States and territories which hold out the greatest induce j merits to the laboring clases: and it is j I fairly presumable that in those sections j the members of her commit lion are ac- j quiring an influence in the soil which is ! , not possessed by those who crowd the older cities, and are more numerous- j ly employed in servile occupations.— Owner hip of thesoil brings wealth, po- < ' sition, influence and power. What the i condition of the Roman church iu the . Western States will he fifty years hence . mav be imagined from the past. ' „ » ' Preachers and Lawyers—Mr. Har i din's peculiar pleasure in listening to i spiritual sorgs, especially such os are in use among the Methodists, led him, on an occasion while attending Court in \ Hardin county, to diverge from his • road to spend a night at a camp meet-1 ing. Mr. Lindsey, the Presiding Elder, j and a celebrated preacher, was on the! ground About midnight, he observed ' ’ Mr Hardin making a bed for himself 1 : out of some clapboards, and kindly in-j vited him to sleep in the preachers tent.. I he position of this tent is always near the altar. Abiut two o'clock in the morning a shoot arose that made the welkiug ring—it was the deep and 1 many toned song of triumph in the al- 1 Ur over souls converted. Old Ben ' sprang f ion.' his bed, awakened from ' his deep alim.'ber. and forgetful of his 1 whereabouts ex claimed, “I’ll be d— d, if they keep on this way if they don’t * kill the devil before day. Mr. Lindsey overheard the speech,and although fond of Mr. Hardin, deter mined to give him a poser. “So,” said he to Mr. Hardin, as he issued from the; tent, yet tubbing his half opened eyes ‘ So you think we'll kill the devil before day--bad business for you lawyers, Mr. Hardin,” said the Elder, ‘‘if the devil was daad.” Mr, Hardin was in a bad fix. but when was never outwitted ? ‘‘Verytrue,” rejoined he “Mr. Lind-: sey, the devil’s death would be as great a calamity to us lawyers as to you preachers, for we would ail goj out of practice together.” ■- _ 1 .. i ■ .... ■ *On Sunday, tlie 9th instant, by Asa A.

MOUSE’S INVIGORATING COR ; DIAI Tlie dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into a ; life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single coarse of thi-extraordinary tonic. The gagtrio fluid re acquires itesolveutpower, and the crude nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to ; the sufferer, while his digestive organization was i 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 acute, physical agony ol Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- I rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited hythtt ten ible lassitude which proceeds from a lack ol nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arisingfrom the unnaturalcondition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery memb-r with the source of sensation, mo-' I tion and the ight—derives immediate benefit r from the useof this Cordial, which atoncecaims, f invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous J organization. Females who have tried it are unanimo s in j declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that „ woman has ever received from the ha' ds of medical men. 1 Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im -3 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 an appetiser it has no equal in the l’harmacopia. lflonglile and the vigor necessary to its en ' Joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of ’ i precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to either J sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing 8 wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous depres ' j sion, the individual suffering from general de 1 bility or from the weakness oi a single organ * wiliali find immediateaud permanent relic f from i the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it 1 will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard -against that terrible malady. There are many > I perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu ■ tion that they think themselves beyond thereach 5 1 of medicine. Let not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re lercncc to the causes, and will not only remove '' the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con ~ i stitution ' LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil- J ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of Bclf de ' S'ruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous- ’' ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of . the heart, impoteucy, constipation, etc., from l whatever cau- e arising, it is, if there is auy reli .l ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute ly infallible. 1 CACTIOX.—hr.
