It is not only a Cathartic, but a I Acer remedy, acting first on the I.iver to eject its morbid matter, than on the stomach and bowels to car ry off that matter,thus accomplishing two purposes effec tually, without any of the painful feelings experienced in the operations of most Cathartics. It strengthens the system at the same time that it purges it: and when taken daily in moderate doses; will strengthen and build it up with unusual rapidity. The Liver is one of the) (principal regulatorsof the human body; and when iti • performs its functions well Hie powers of the system 5J are fully developed. The stomach is almost entirely [H dependent on the healthy action of the I.iver for the ” proper performance of its functions; when thestoin-/X aeh is ut fault, the bowels are at fault, and the whole y system suffers in conse queuce of one organ—the- I.iver—having ceased to do its duty.

To teach them requires fully halt their time during which time they destroy more material than their after labor will pay for, except, perhaps, in the ease of criminals of at least five years sentence. Then, again, in order to keep these criminals at work, the Legisla ture have by the salaries, which they have ordered for the assistant keepers and overseers, required the princi pal keeper to employ a kind of superintendence totally unworthy the confidence that must necessarily be placed in them. They seem to expect a strictly honest and capable shoemaker, blacksmith, carpenter, or mas ter of any other trade at which it may be deemed ad visable to employ the couvicts, to take charge of his share of an hundred and eighty or two hundred con victs, (the law allows only four overseers at $400 each, per annum,) nnd risk his life and reputation (for the Leg islature and the country seem to have taken up the idea that the officers of the Penitentiary are only a better class of convicts,) for $100 a year. A sum that in these days of general prosperity, any common journeyman at any of tin trades can mate double, if lie lias only half of the energy and capacity required for an overseer of a department in the Penitentiary. And his family and friends have no fears of his being maimed or murdered in the discharge of his duty. It is true the law was made and these salaries were fixed many years ago, when one dollar was worth as much as two are now, anil when instead of one hundred nnd eighty convicts, the institution only numbered from forty-five to sixty, about one third to one fourthofthe present number. But the number has been increasing gradually, and the Legislature lias a standing commit tee whose particular charge is to look into t lie condition and wants of the institution, and examine into the ca pacity aud conduct of the officers. These committees have seen or ought to have seen the necessityofincroas- ing the nnmber of assistants and advancing their sala ries; yet, have recommended no change. This neglect has cempelled the authorities todecrease the number of overseers aud give to one man the charge of two branches of business in order to make the pay sufficient to induce a man of integrity und capacity to take it And no sensible man will deny that for a position of this nature, one man whose character and capacity are val ued by the communtty at $1000 a year, is worth a half dozen who are willing to undertake it for halt the sum. Our law-makers seem to think that nothing more is re quisite for an overseer, of the shoemakers Hum just to be abie to make a shoe; of the blacksmiths, than to bum iron; of the carpenters, but just to saw to a scribe.— And every one of these ns a steady journeyman can make his two to three dollars a day, and have no other care but go home at night in peace. And the commit tees have known those things when they have taken the trouble to think, about them, yet, there has been no change. The convicts have increased to three or four times their number, when the law was passed; and yet, the number of overseers have not been increased. The value of property and expenses of hiring have increased three fold; yet, the salaries have not been raised; on the contrary, their number has been necessarily reduced in order to give two salaries to one man, and even that does not keep pace with the value of property. Having iu mind all of these facts; if, as the Legisla tures for the last fifteen or twenty years have seemed to think, the Penitentiary system was adopted fomnke money for the State; have they not made a great mis take, and been guilty of a gross neglect of duty in not changing the management altogether, and organizing it with a special view to that end. Why have they not, as before suggested, employed some competent person to take charge of it—stocked it with labor-saving ma chinery, and directed the superintendent to advertise for and hire such hands ns would do good work and hnve nothing to do with the lazy, the incompetent, and the vicious-, such as were unprofitable, either on account of inability or unwillingness to work even for their daily blend ? If it is true that the State has built nnd organized the concern ou a speculation, I know no ether way iu which money can be realized out of it; nor indeed, do I be lieve that any one else does. But if the saving of money is the making of it; and we are told by Poor Richard thkt '• a penny saved is two pence gained.” the Penitentiary, much as it lias been abused for dis appointing expectations that should never have been in dulged, has made something for the State by what it has saved her citizens from county taxation to punish criminals. Don’t smile 31 r. Editor, but observe. The buildings for the Penitentiary were completed about the first of the year 1817, the first convict was received on tlie 17th of March of that year. 1 suppose the first appropriation must hnve been made ariout 18IS; just forty-three years ago. And the whole amount of ap propriations from that day- to this have not exceeded $130,900; or $10,000 a year. And this total you will re member, includes the appropriation for its fiist erection, and a partial re-building after two destructive fires, equal to two entire erections at first cost. Which, if my information is correct is about $65,000, each time, or $130,000 in building. This, of course, is not to be fairly counted in the expenses, and makes a much better showing for the Penitentiary, bad as its chance has been, than I had hoped, but let that all go. Say it lias cost the State $10,000 a year to punish her criminals. Would it not have cost four times that amount to have been drawn from the pockets of our citizens in thc sliape of county tax, to whip, and brand, and crop, and imprison tier criminals, in the county jails. Will any sensible thinking mail deny this proposition. Why. sir, our citizens of Savannah, Augusta, Atlanta. Mncou and Columbus, would pay out at least the $10,000 a year themselves. Will you say, Mr. Editor, that the Peni tentiary has been a blot, an incubus upon the State, will any man say it ? I think not. Now, Mr. Editor, as to removal. How much will it cost, and when we add that to the amount already ap propriated; how long will it take to bring it to present average, and after all, even if your put it on a gold mine you make nothing of it but a Penitentiary, and its tenants, but unfortuuate convicts. It has been suggested to lease it out. What would we lease it at. and what would be the effect, of that policy 7 I will grant for the sake of argu ment that if the buildings were put in complete re pair, and perfect arrangement for the purposes of manufacturing, filled with all the new aud improv ed labor-saving machinery now in all factories, that the State could find a person or company that would agree to pay a nominal lease on it; say $500 or $1,000 a year, for five years, (as I under stand Alabama has done, with her Penitentiary.) well, at the end of that five years, your labor-sav ing machinery will have run down and become worthless, and you will receive $2,500 or $5,000 for what cost you $10,000 a year, and your Feui- tentiary is in a worse condition than before.— Don't say that you will hind your lesees to leave every thing in as good condition as you turned it over to them. The State can bind nobody pecuni arily as long as you recognize the right of petitions for relief, and that you are obliged to do, and the Legislature because it is easy to cut a string off another mau’s leather, will never fail to grant the relief, especially when the lessees come and say they were deceived in their calculations about convict labor, as every body will be who counts ou making them pay for more than their food and clothes which the record shows they have done, and more I fear, they will never do. On the other hand, 3Ir. Editor, I conceive the State has no right to lease the labor of her convicts until she first changes the name and character of the institution, and repeals those portions other laws extending mercy and pardon to such as show penitence and a reformed heart. The name itself shows that its creators had iu contemplation the reform of the convict as well as his punishment, and our laws authorize the Governor to pardon the crime and restore to liberty and the privileges of citizenship such as may receive the recommenda tion of the keepers, who are and ought to be the proper Judges of the deserts of the persons under tbeir immediate charge. And a late law passed in 1856 requires the principal keeper, to keep a book of monthly conduct of the prisoners, and for every monthly mark of good conduct, the convict is enti tled to a deduction of two days from the term for which he was originally sentenced. Now the lessee takes the Penitentiary on speculation, and expects to make his contract pay from the labor of his best convicts, and who give him the least trou ble, who are the exemplary men and who show a disposition to reform, and be pardoned and rest or-1 ed to their rights as freemen and their station in | society. Wili they get any showing from the speculating lessee when the success of his con duct depends upon their labor alone. On the con trary, will be not use all the power he can to re lieve himself of the lazy and trifling rogues and vagabonds who do not earn their salt, aud are nothing but an expense and draw back upon the speculation Let no one say this is not a true state of affairs. It is human nature aud nothing else can be expec ted from the lessee. I have thus far endeavored to show how the Penitentiary has been working and how little has heretofore been known of its condition and capabilities. It I write again I will endeavor to suggest what should be doue with it, and so you may expect More Anon. and have as effectually annihilated yourself as if you had never been extant at all. Y'ou have knock ed all the fat in the fire, aud the conflagration has consumed you And how have you done it? Why first you went aud slept with Toombs and Stephens, nnd caught the Douglass itch, aud then imprudently exposed yourself to an airing in the newspapers while the disease was iu its confluent state. That was madness, Gus. I have knowu a man to be wrapped up in a straight jacket for less. No man can tamper with his constitution in that manner with impunity, and I tell you old fellow, you are now in a bad way, and your political end draweth nigh. How often Gus, has your uncle Biily and the rest of your friends warned you against that pernicious habit of letter writing ? The least said about those letters, the best. They say nothing and say it badly at that. They assume no position, enunciate no principles, no policy, no nothing. In fact you are nowhere, and don't know it. Solomon (not old Billy) said “Oh that mine en emy would write a book.” Y"ou’d have been a foe to tickle his fancy, he’d have gone to sleep over you, Gus, and woke up to find that you’d written, published and busted, before he’d fairly got his nap out Men readily forgive rascality, but folly they rare ly pardon, and you have sinned almost past re demption. But luckily, for unfortunates like your self, there is no evil without a remedy, and your uncle Billy is not the man to strike you when down without helping you ou your legs again. In desperate cases, remedies must be strong to be ef fective, and in your critical condition I would strongly advise your total abandonment of the art of Chirography. Forget how to do it and sign your name like Bonner makes cross roads on his maps. GEORGIA I.EGI8LAfEBI, SENATE Monday Morning, Nov. 22,1858. The Senate met pursuant to adjournment, and was called to order at 9J o’clock.

The special order of the day to-wit: The bill for the abolition of tlie Georgia Pen itentiary was taken up and lost. For the relief of Thomas H. Highsmith. This gentleman it seems, was by order of the Super intendent of the W. & A. R. R. to run a night train, during one of bis night trips he happened to an accident by which be lost one of his legs and as theie is no law providing for his compensation this bill provides, that the State shall pay him $3060.

He ‘ moved that a committee of three be appointed to draw up suitable resolutions expressive of the j feelings of the Senate on the announcement of - this painful intelligence. That motion was agreed to and Messrs Cone of Bulloch, Billnps of Mor gan and Briscoe of Baldwin were appointed as I that committee. ■ Whilst that committee had retired bills were read. A bill to require sheriffs to make additional re turns! Lost. A bill to amend acts incorporating the Dalton and Copper Mine Turnpike, Plank and R. R. Co. Passed. A bill to give rules absolute the same lien on on property as judgments in law. On the passage of this bill there were several Y’our only safety is in total abstinence, for if ever I amendments offered and lost. you put pen to paper you are gone When I heard of your first Douglas letter I went home mighty down in the mouth, your aunt Polly smelt a rat right off’. What’s the matter old man! says she. Nothing but some political news I heard to-day, says I. What is it 7 says she. Guess, says I. All the missionary Baptists going to plump Hanks? saj-s she. 31ore than that says I. Good gracious 1 old man, says she, Bob Toombs aint said nothing aud stuck to it, surely 7 That aint a cir cumstance to it, says I. Y’ou’ll frighten me to death if you keep on this way. Cobb aint had the appo- ple.xy ? says she. No says I, its about our Gus. Oh Lordy! says she, you need’ut say any more old man. I know now, Gus has been a writing. She shucked and went to bed, without saying another word, and her and me lay tlieie groaning, without sleeping a wink that blessed night. We feel very much hurt at you Gus, for your uncle Billy is flat tered in the belief, that he is considerably of an ass himself, and for you to go out of your way to break him down at his own trade is unkind, as the pole catsaid to John Glenu when he put on his suit of corduroy. If you had your uncle Billy’s pluck and manli ness of character, you’d lie out of the whole busi ness at oi.ee, and swear that A. R. Wright of Jef ferson wrote those letters, and there would be no great harm in it either, for Ranee has so many sins to answer for already, that the additional encum brance would’nt amouutto much. However, that is more than I can reasonably require of you. But I have the right to expect you to abandon that perni cious habit. If you cant live without seeing your name in print, then confine your literary efforts to writing certificates for hair restorers and pile oint ments, that’s innocent amusement and can harm nobody, except those who take the remedies, and serves them right for being such fools. . And if you must write ’letters write to me, aud they won’t be wasted. But by far the safest course for you to pursue is to abandon the use of stationery alto- gethsr. The signs of the times look mighty squally for you, Gus, and sorry it is that your uncle Billy has to toll you so. Look at Tumlin hugging every body that will let him. Look at Chastain, travel ling round, complaining of his biles, and getting every body’s sympathy, and see Billy Clayton (“ the old man elephant”) how polite he is, hop ping about as nimble and spry as it he’d sold out and retired from the Tippoo Sultan line of charac ter. What do they point to 7 They point to the loftiest tumble for you next October that ever a man got, if you don't fall into ranks again in dou ble quick time. Y’ou have kicked out of har ness old hoss, but fortunately for you, yon liav’nt broke any tiling, and now just get your legs back again over the traces and go along quietly, like a well broke horse, and dout get frightened at the Bullgiue. When Aleck Stephens goes again to Il linois to have his picture painted, dont yon have your doggery type taken too, or you’ll be hung up along with il and left hanging there for Bob and Aleck to come and to take you down, and wont you have to wait a long time Gus 7 And when Bob Toombs talks Douglas at you again do yon make him write it, and sign bis name to it, aud print it, or Bob will dodge you certain. Now 1 know what you will say when yon see me again, you’ll smile sweetly on your uncle Billy iu that insinuating way, give your head a twist in that amiable bnd-like way of yours and talk about houor, convictions of duty, principles, &c. Now Gus, they are all gammon when they dont pay and to make them profitable you must maku them fol low your load and not you follow theirs. Always make your principles subservient to your interest, and when it is to your interest to change your principles, right about face at once, and make it a point of honor as well as duty, to come down on your old principles like a thousand of brick. And that’s the way for you to get your foot out of this Douglas business. Bob and Aleck have got the start of you in the race back to the Democratic stand, but you have tiie wind and bottom and can beat them on the last quarter stretch, if you dont spoil tlie sport by bolt iug—there lies your danger. And when you get sale back again, turn your pen into a tooth pick, dye your whiskers with your ink, aud tear up your writing paper. Don’t have any thing more to do with Toombs and Stephens, and Douglas and all that set of skylarkers. They are not the sort of boys for you to associate with, they will always be get ting you into trouble. Lean up to old Buck like a sick kitten to a warm brick, cultivate Howell, dig around him and dung him. Climb up the hill there at Rome to Fort Lumpkin aud talk to John, tell him you did'nt go to do it, you'll do so no more. That's your platform Gus, stand to it, and Tumlin may hug the hoys in vain; Gossamer Billy get as tight and airy as a tom-tit to no further purpose, and Chastain’s crop of biles won’t pay the expense of cultivation. As a parting injunction, I would advise you to have the following little mottoes printed in large letters and stuck in conspicuous places about your house, so that whichever way you turn your eye will light on at least one of them. No write—Not a d—letter—Forgot hotc—Cross roads liis mark—Talk to you all day—Say anything you want to hear— But write never—wont pay—Quit—Learnt better sense—PERISH PENMANSHIP—STATIONERY AV- ALNT ?!! Now Gus you have the benefit of your uncle Billy’s counsel, and if you teel that you owe me any return for it, you cau fully repay me by follow ing it to the letter. Do so, aud if ever you rue it, my name is’nt Wm. Woodpile. Soma debate also arose, that might be of some interest to the legal profession, but apace will not permit us to take further notice of it. The bill passed Mr Cone from the committee appointed to draw up suitable resolutions expressive of the feelings of the Senate on the announcement of the death of Ex-Gov, William Schley, made the following report.

Whereas, it is the duty, as it has been the cus tom of Congress, when information touching the interests of the people of the United States, is re quired, to appoint a commissioner for the purpose of obtaining the information desired And whereas, within the limits of the State of Georgia, there is contained a very large portion of the Yellow Pine Belt, an amount larger, perhaps, than in all the States which border upon the At lantic, and upon which a very low estimate is placed by many of our citizen,—stigmatized by some as a “pine barren,” “a desert,” &c—but which, if rightly appreciated, and understood, would add millions to the wealth of our citizens, would greatly increase the taxable property of the State. And wi.sreas, one of Georgia’s wisest and great est Statesmen foresaw and predicted that the time was not far distant, when our pine forest wonld become of great value, and already we find that the United States Government, startled by the rap id destruction of the said pine forest, for agricultu ral and other purposes, have withdrawn from sale a large portion of her pine lands in Florida, for the future use of the navy. Resolved, therefore, by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, that our Senators and Rep resentatives in Congress be requested to use their influence in having a commissioner appointed by Congress to inquire into the limits and extent of the Southern Pine belt, what will be the probable time of its duration,under She present rate of deplo- tion, the quantity of Pine Timber annually ship ped, and in what counties, together with any and all matters of interest connected with the sub ject, Resolved, that his Excellency, the Governor, be requested to forward a copy of these Resolutions, to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress.
