Affairs in Washington.
All parties remain pretty much in statu quo at
the Capitol, and appear to be as close to an election
for Speaker as they were six weeks ago. The
Know Nothings and black Republicans united
in Massachusetts to elect Mr. Banks to Congress,
but it deems difficult to get enough of them to
unite in Washington to elect him Speaker.
We commend to the careful perusal aud
consideration of the members of the Legislature,

pen of an experienced, and highly talented gentle
man, whose views are entitled to great respect.

Savannah Valley Railroad.
After a careful consideration of the subject, and
of the recent amendments to the charter of this
Company by the South Carolina Legislature, we
are confirmed in out convictions in favor of the
subscription by the city of Augusta in her corpo
rate capacity, to half a million of dollars of the
capital stock. The charter, as it now stands, we
conceive hi be more favorable to the interests of
the city than the original charter. The amend
ment* are the following;
Ist. The Road, instead of having iLs terminus at
Hamburg, is allowed to cross into Georgia at or
above Bull Sluice, with the right to connect in the -
city of Augusta, by steam or other locomotive pow- j
er, with the South Carolina Railroad Company.
2nd. The Slate aid in the shape of a .subscrip- j
tion oj $250,000 of depreciated stock*, to he esti- j
mated at par, is withdrawn.
3d. The Hamburg subscriptions, amounting to ;
about *65,000, to be withdrawn, if the subscribers I
to the same so desire.
I be first amendment must, of course, before be- j
ing carried into effect, receive the assent of the |
Legislature of Georgia, and the corporate authori- i
ties of Augusta.
The second amendment work* no detriment to
the Company, for the State subscription was in
terms which the Company could not and would not
accept ; it being a subscription of stocks, to be
valued at par, which ure not worth in the market
more than forty cents in the dollar. Such an tin- j
due advantage to the State of,South Carolina could !
not, in justice to the other subscribers, be con
ceded.
The third amendment would withdraw only a
small amount of the available subscriptions from
the Company, and that amount would probably be
counterbalanced by other subscriptions, induced
by the contemplated change of route.
The privilege of passing through our city, to
connect with the South Carolina Railroad, by
steam or other locomotive power, is expressive of
an alternative which enables the City Council of
Augusta to prohibit the use of steam, aud to re
quire the use of horse power in making the con
nection. This latter alternative would doubtless
be insisted upon by our Citv Council.
It should be borne in mind that every dollars
worth of produce, with the exception of what
now comes by river and canal, coining to our city
bv the Savannah Valley road, would be a clear ad
dition to the present receipts of our city, and we
would have an opportunity by this new mode of
transit, of supplying an immense back country with
goods, wares and merchandize. That our merchants
can enter into competition with Charleston and
.Savannah for this great trade, on favorable terms,
no one acquainted with the energy and enterprise
of our merchants will doubt.
When the Savannah Valley road and its connec
tions are completed, the amount of produce and of
travel passing over them to our city, aud the
amount of goods returning over the same route will
be enormous. It must, if Augusta gets Vine tithe
of it, add immensely to our prosperity. None of
that trade, or very little of it, comes to this city.
It goes chiefly to Columbia and Charleston, & ('.
If the Savannah Valley road is not constructed, all
of that trade will go to those two cities, and will
be forever lost to Augusta.
Let us look at these connections. The Savannah
Valley road will pass from Augusta up by Bull
Sluice into South Carolina, and thence via Wood
lawn and Dorse's Mines to Abbeville and Ander
son. The latter is the terminus of the great Blue
Ridge Railroad from Knoxville, now in progress,
and certain to be completed in three or four years.
A connection at Anderson with the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad, would carry the whole of the j
immense trade passing from Knoxville and over
the railroads radiating from that point North,
West and South, and seeking a South Atlantic
port, down direct to Columbia and Charleston, un
less we compete for it by the Savannah Valley road.
This latter road would afford a route sixtv-two
miles shorter to Charleston than that by Greenville
and Columbia, it would place Augusta on the
line, when the choice of the markets of Augusta,
Charleston and Savannah would be afforded the
planter aud trader. This would inevitably bring
produce and trade through our city, and give our
merchants a chance of stopping it here. To do
this we are willing to trust to their enterprise and
the acknowledged advantages our market affords.
Without th© Savannah Valley road, they have no
chance for this trade. It is lost to us inevitably and
forever.
Now as to the means. The bona Jid.t subscriptions
to the Savannah Valley lioad, after deducting the
State subscription, and the Hamburg subscription
amount now to about $350,000. This is chiefly
from planters on the lower half of the line. The
amount, it may be reasonably calculated, can be
increased to $500, 000. ft is not doubted, that the
said proposed Augusta subscription would, if made,
secure the additional $150,000, from the South Car
olina planters, anxious to be put in railroad com
munication with Augusta but holding back from
want of confidence in the achievement. Let Au
gusta subscribe, making [her subscription contin
gent upon other bona tide subscriptions being made
to the amount of $500,000. This being done, a
subscription of $1,000,000, in all, may be calcula
ted upon with certainty. In addition, large sub
scriptions can be relied upon by those, through or
near whose lands the road will pass, aud who de
sire to take contracts at fair prices, payable one
half in stock. This would materially aid in the
coslructiou of the work. The $1,000,000 with
this aid will go far towards its accomplishment.
In addition, let us bear in mind the uniform ex
perience of all such enterprizes. The first blow
struck adds strength to a road in popular favor,
imparts confidence in the result, wins friends and
co-operators, even from the mass of the previously
indifferent and sceptical. V beginning under SHch
auspices as we have above indicated, would bo vir
tually a guarantee of success.
But let us suppose that only $l,"0o,000 is secur
ed to start with. This amount will complete the
road to Dorn’s. We will suppose the road will
stop there for want of funds to proceed. Reaching
there, a distance of thirty-six miles from Augusta,
it will be only twenty miles from the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad. It is confidently believed
that this gap will be closed by the citizens of that
portion of South Carolina, interested in a connec
tion with Augusta.
This route, then would give to Augusta all the
advantages she could promise herself from the pro
posed Edgefield and Columbia Road. In one re
spect, at least it would have superior recommenda
tions, for it could tap the Blue Ride Railroad trade
above Columbia and bring it here by -a nearer
route.
But the road once in a fair wav of completion
to Dorn's, it would be unreasonable to doubt its
j final completion, to Abbeville twenty-six and to
j Anderson fifty-four miles.
j There are conditions and restrictions which it
j would be competent and eminently proper for Au
-1 gnsia to attach to her subscription. These we do
: not undertake here to detail. They will not es
cape the sagacity of the constituted authorities.
Thev should see well to the mode of raising the
j »
money and of its expenditure, and to the privile
. ges and restrictions under which the conternpla
-1 ted Road should enter and pas* through her cor
porate domain.
An abundant caution may counsel Augusta not
to commit herself to this enterprize, to the large
amount proposed, until there is an assurance of
bona fide subscriptions, by South Carolinians, be
yond the ?">o V>on we have named. It would cer
tainly be far more satisfactory to see those subserip
! tions double that amount. It may be discreet to
reserve tho right for Augusta to withdraw her sub
scription, if, after full investigation, it be found
that other subscriptions approximating the sum re
' quisite, cannot, with reasonable certainty, he ex
pected. But we would esteem it the worst policy
indeed, a: this stage of the enterprise a most
short-sightedjdisregard of her future interest.-, ft r
Augusta to turn her back coldly upon the under
taking, and tlms shut herself out forever from the
advantages it offers. Let her rather entertain the
subject kindly; let her at least bestow upon it the
genial influence of her good will and sympathiz
ing interest; let her strive to remove obstacles
irom its path ; let her aid in stimulating a wider
and deeper desire lor the success of the work, and
wneu she finds that all that is necessary to secure
its triumphant accomplishment, is the material aid
now asked of her; let her then come bravely for
ward and push on the enterprize, never resting un
til the rich fruit* of it are poured into her lap

University of Georgia and Education in j
the State.—No. 1.
The subject ot Education in the State of Georgia, j
is one of especial interest, not to any - particular ;
party or section, but the people generally, one which
deserves the serious reflection of our leading states
men, and which commends itself to every member
of the Legislature. We apprehend there is little
doubt in regard to the propriety of appropriating a
portion of the public funds to disseminate more ;
generally- the means of education among the peo
ple of the State; but the Only difficulty is in re
gard to the best method of doing this. How c*an
i the greatest amount of good be done? A large
amount of public money has, from time to time,
| been appropriated to establish “Common Schools,”
' and the good effects arising therefrom have, been
• by no means commensurate with the money ex
pended. A bill is at present before the Legislature,
: relating to this subject. It has been suggested that
1 the best thing the Legislature could do, in refer
! ence to this complicated subject, would be to ap
! point, with a handsome salary, prominent and com
i petent gentlemen commissioners of public educa
| tion, whose business it would be, in the next tw - o
years, to canvass the whole State, deliver lectures
to the people on the subject of education, find out
the wants of the State in every section, the number
of schools, and their character. In addition, he
should also familiarize himself with the history of
i the success and failure of the various plans adopt
| ed by our sister States, and the systems adopted
in Europe. All these data, with his plan deduced
therefrom, or applicable to the Suite of Georgia,
should #onslitute his report to the next Legislature.
This would furnish a basis for action, with hopes
of success. There are not data sufficient, we im
agine, before the Legislature, to establish a system.
We hope they will see the wisdom of appointing a
Commissioner. This byway of suggestion. It
was not, though, in reference to a Commissioner
that we proposed to write, but to call attention to a
scheme set forth in the “memorial of the Trustees
of the University of Georgia to the members of
the Legislature,” having lor its purpose theeduca
tion of indigent meritorious young men.
One remark before we proceed to notice the plan,
to show how completely all our previous systems,
having for their object the eduaation of the people
generally, have failed.
According to the reports of the census, there
were, in Georgia—
In 1840, a free white population of 407,695
In 1850, this population had increased to .. .521,572
Being an increase of nearly 28 per cent.
In 1340, there were, of adults unable to read
and w rite 30,717
In 1850, this number bad increased to 41,667
Being an increase of over 35 per ct.
Thus, the reports of the census show that with
all the appropriations expended on the system of
common schools —the State has increased in ig
norance faster than in population! The increase
of the class of adults, unable to read and write,
has been over seven per cent, more than the in
crease in population. These facts speak for them
selves. They- show- the utter insufficiency of the
system that lias been in operation, and the impera
tive wants of our State.
According to this “ memorial,” the plan is to
select, annually, a number of meritorious young
men, whose parents are not, nor themselves, able
! to defray the necessary expenses of a College edu
| cation, to give them all the advantages of a regular
| College course, without charge for tuition fees or
! boartf. As a return to the State for the advantages
thus offered, these young men would be expected,
after graduation, to teach in some public or private
school within the State, as many years as they en
joyed the privilege of remaining at the College,
free of expense. According to this, the State would
have to make an annual appropriation of such an
amount us would give to each one so appointed a
sum sufficient to pay his board, Ac. Th* report
suggests $l5O a year to each, and this is by no
means too large.
The University thus offers to throw open her
I doors, free of charge, to these students, if the State
i will make such an appropriation as will enable
! them to accept of the offer—an offer which would
; entail upon the Faculty of the College a deal of
j trouble, without reward—but would be productive
i of great good to the cause of education in the State.
It might be thought the College can open her
halls, free of charge, to these young men, without
the appropriation from the State, as well as with it;
and if so, where the necessity of calling upon the
State? But this is not so. Tuition is a small part
of the necessary College expenses; board is the
principal item. And those who are not able to de
fray'all the expenses of a College education, cannot
enjoy collegiate advantages, even if tuition is free.
Thev cannot defray the other necessary expenses.
Webelieve, according to an old enactment, the Uni
versity has offered, to a certain number, free tui
tion: but very few , we understand, have taken ad
tage of it.
Tins plan of educating young men for teachers,
at the expense of the Slate, with the gratuitous offer
of tuition on the part of the University, is not
wholly new. It lias been tried elsewhere, and is
recommended by the experience of the University
| of Virginia.
From a late number of the Richmond Enquirer,
| noticing the very flourishing condition of that lu
! stitutiou, we extract the following paragraph:
“The Siate educates thirty-two meritorious young
j men, who are not, themselves, and whose parents
are not, in a situation to incur the expense of edu
cation. (one from each of the late Senatorial di
triets in the State,) free of all expense of board,
Professors’ fees, and University charges. These
students continue two years, at the end of which
time others are appointed in their places; and bv
way of remuneration, for the assistance thus afford
ed, they are expected to teach in some public or
! private school within the limits of Virginia, for
two years after leaving the University.”
We learn that this system lias been in operation
at that Institution about ten years. Previous to its
| adoption, the greatest number of Students, as
show n bv her catalogue, does not exceed two hun
tired and fifty. The catalogue now shows five hun
dred and thirty-one. It, by no means, follows that
this vast increase is due to the adoption of this
: plan, no doubt, though it has had considerable in
fluence in increasing her popularity within the
! State. Since this system has been adopted at the
University of Virginia, she has educated 16n
: young men, free of expense. None, or a very
few of these, it is to be presumed, would have otli
| envise enjoyed the advantages of a College edtica
-1 tion. But the best of the plan is, that each of these
; Students has taught at least two years within the
j State. She has thereby secured their services in
the active business of teaching. We mav presume
; that fully half finding the profession profitable and
! lucrative, have adopted it-permanently'.
Hence, we may infer, that a considerable num
ber of the flourishing Academies in Virginia are
due wholly to this system. The vast increase in
the number of Students at the University of Vir
ginia, shows that the plan lias not had an injurious ;
effect on the Institution; and to prove that its ben
eficial effects are elsewhere acknowledged, we sub
join the following extract from the late message of
the Governor of Virginia:
“ 1 submit herewith the annual report of tho j
Rector and visitors of the University of Virginia,
. which exhibits the Institution in a most prosperous !
and flourishing condition, sustaining, in an emi
nent degree, the high reputation it has long de
, ; servedlv enjoyed.
“The*young men annually sent forth from this In- !
stimtion to commingle with the masses in their va
rious pursuits, cannot fail to exert a wholesome in
fluence, and leave their impress upon the commu
nity in which they move. I would, therefore, re
commend an increase of the number to be gratui
tously educated, with such an increased appropria
tion as will enable the Institution to accomplish
this purpose. Would that the number could be
i augmented, until the sons of the indigent and the
, wealthy could find a common platform accessible ;
to all; that the portals of the University could be
thrown open wide as the attributes of Divine mer
■ cy, proclaiming, “whosoever will, let him take the
waters of life freely.” But it cannot be expected
, that a single Institution can afford the necessary
instruction to a population like that of Virginia.
Intelligence is the property of the nation, and con
stitutes the principal element to secure respect from ,
abroad, and security and happiness at home. To
obtain it, any reasonable sacrifice should be made,
and no effort neglected which could insure it with
certainty. We ought, therefore, to extend aid to
our Colleges, and open their halls to those who
cannot obtain the benefits of University education.”
An experience of ten years has proved in Yir
, ginia that the system has been successful in adding
materially to the popularity of the Institution—in
. commending itself generally to the people of the
State, and of especial value in inciting among a
large class of poor but meritorious young men, the
, desire of a Collegiate education.

CHAPTER I.
Equalizing the Circulation —The true method of pre
venting the establishment of Disease—Regulation the
only means of purifying the Blood and restoring the
sick to health—Quick efficacy of Radway’* Ready
Relief and Railway’s Regulaters, in curing the patient
of Coughs, Congestions, Rheumatism, Pneumonia,
Sore Tin-oat, Inflammations, Ac
Bronchitis, Asthma, Bad Headaches, Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Bilious Remittent and Intermittent,
Scarlet, Typhus, Chagres, and all Conta
gious and Non-Contagious Fevers.
LIFE AND DEATH.
It is the aim of most men to live healthy, and attain
a ripe old age. This, we claim, our R. R. R. Remedies
will secure to those who are now woighed down by dis
ease, or crippled with pains and aches, or other infirmi
ties. The K R R . Remedies possess medical efficacious
and healing virtues, strengthening properties and life
prulonging powers, that have never before been given
to the wor d. They are founded on an entirely new
theory, and they tstablish new principles in the treat
ment of diseases that will enable all who use the R R
R.’s to resist the most violent diseases and the most
destructive of pestilent*. They wiil render the human
body proof against disease, and will enable the atllictod
to secure for themselves sound health and long fife.
R. R. 11.
The reader will bear in mind that the R. R R. Rem
edies consist of three remedies, which are known as
RAILWAY'S READY RELIEF,
RADWAY’,3 RENOVATING RESOLVENT,
RADWAY S REGULATORS.
With these three remedies, wo are confident that we
can tattle disease in all its varied phenomena—no mat
ter by what name it is called, or how terrible it may
appear. We will, with these three simple remedies,
guarantee a speedy and effectual restoration »f the hu
man body to sound and vigorous health, free from all
bodily pains, aches and, infirmities.
HOW DISEASED ACTION BECOMES ESTABLISHED
AND THE BLOOD IMPURE.
A great erroi has long prevailed in the minds of med
ical men 1 ' That Impuiity of the Blood is the Cause of
Diseased Action. ’’ This is a serious mistake. It is a
disturbance of the circulation, and the establishment of
diseased action, that causes impurity of the blood.
The R It R. theory holds the truth of the above max
ims, for if a person be in a state of perfect health, each
artery and vein must carry to and from the heart its
allotted proportion of h ood, and when any set of ves
sels refuse ,be the cause what it may) to carry then
proportion. the current of blood becomes dammed up—
in other words, a congestion takes place, giving pain to
a greater or less extent. Here, then, is tire beginning
of diseased action, which, if riot relieved, will soon run
into inflammation, and the disease becomes established.
Diseased action being once established, the blood be
oornes impure, and the regularity of action on the part
of the Inver, Ski ~ Bowels, Ac , is sure to be inter rn t
ed and the general system, by sympathising with tho
local complaint, becomes involved in the difficulty. That
this is the true state of the case, let any one call to mi- d
Irrs symptoms on catching cold. The local difficulty may
be a -ore throat, which is a congestion of tho blood,
amounting (sometimes) to an inflammation about tiro
throat, ow ing to a previous deranged state of the cir
culation and he will remember that his bowels become
costive, his liver deranged, or his skin dry, and his blood
impure. Had he used Radway's Ready Relief when the
congestion was setting in.as an application to the throar,
and swallowed a dose of tile Regulators, he would have
broken up the congestion, and restored the regularity
on the part of the liver, -.kin, bowels, Ac., which had
been broken in upon by the effects of the sore throat
Regularity being again established, the impure blood is
soon purified, and tire circulation again equalized, and
the health restored.

READ HER LETTER.
January 3, 1856.
Messrs Radway A Co —l tried your Ready Re’ief,
1 and had my joints rubi ed with it, and I uever'felt pain
■ after the first ten minutes. I was rubbed with it, up to
the pre ent time. Sirs, Ido not know what to compare
it to but a charm; for it i- a mystery to me. 1 was a
1 cripple for two years, and had not the proper use of my
limbs for three years. T was worn down to a ske'eton. I
then commenced the use of your Ready Relief, Resol
vent and Regulators. The pain left me in ten minutes,
and I b gan to gain strength very fast, and could walk
with ease in a few weeks Before I heard of your Rem
edies, I was taken to Dr. Parker, Dr. Reese, Dr. Wardlo,
Dr. Model in, and nr.ny other physicians in this city. I
cannot noiv remember, t was completely pulled to pieces
by them. My constitution was broken up with medi
cines that did me no good, t c-ouid not put a foot to
the ground, tor pick up a pin. I was lifted and carried
up and down stairs like an infant; and now, thank God !
by the u eof your Remedies, lam as strong as ever. I
had the common rheumatism—i inflammatory and
chronic- -and the palsy. You can publish this, if you

HOW THE R it. R. REMEDIES RESTORE CON
SUMPTIVES TO HEALTH
Stops the ravages of Decay, heals Ulcers in tho Lungs
and Throat, cures Asthma, Bronchitis. Chronic
Coughs, and ali Diseases and Complaints of
tho Throat, Lungs amt Chest.
Persons who have been troubled with Coro- ic Sore
Throats, Tubercles in the Lungs Bronchitis, or Glan
dular Affection =, are informed that the it. it R Reme
dies trill cure them of these terrible complaints on the
same principle. Let tho Ready Relief bo ap, lied ex
ternally on the chest and around the throat—this will
effect an important and wonderfully beneficial result.
It will get up a powerful counter-irritating force, and
withdraw from tire glands of the throat all co gested
blood that may iuteit'ere with tiro respiratory organs.
Persons troubled with asthma, hard and difficult breath
ing, sharp pains when taking a long breath, will find an
immediate relief after an application of Railway’s Ready
Relief. In cases where the Lungs are diseased, we give
Radway y Res vent. The action of this medicine re
solves away the diseased deposit—it heals all Ulcers,
and removes Tubercles. We hare known persons who
had no idea of ever rising out of a sick tied, to be re
stored to sound health, with not a particle of consump
tive material left in their bodies to hasten decay. Rad- 1
way s Regulators in these cases keep the system regu
lar. and equalizes the circulation of the blood !
Railway s Ready Relief is to be used whenever pain is j
present.
