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, a communication under the caption of “"Universi ty of Georgia and State Students.” It is from the pen of an experienced, and highly talented gentle man, whose views are entitled to great respect. • Z3T w elearn from the Charleston Courier that I John Caldwell, Esq, aged 69 years, died at New berry C.

Wednesday, the 16th of April, we learn from the Raleigh SUwdard, has been suggested by the Democratic State Committee its the time, and Ra leigh as the place, for holding the next Democratii State Convention. The Committee having finish ed tho dutv devolved upon them, seized the occa sion to express the gratification with which they, in common with a large majority of the people of Sorth Carolina, have read the President’s late an nual message, and unanimously passed the follow ing resolution : Resolved, That we repose the fullest and most enthusiastic confidence in Franklin Pierce, the President of the United States; that we otii-r him our hearty thank* for ihe sound, just, patriotic and Constitutional views contained in his mes sage in relation to the theory of the federal gov ernment and the rights of the slaveholding Slates; and that our hopes for the perpetuation of the Union, according to the Constitution, have been greatlv strengthened by the general course of the administration, and by the tone aud sentiments of hia message on tin* absorbing subjects referred to. judge Cone’s Resolutions. The Savannah Republican, of yesterday, ap proves of them, and says; “Leaving outjtiie wire-pullers and second fiddlers of party, we have no doubt Judge Cone’s resolu tions will command the approval of nine-tenths of the people of Georgia." J. W. Audubon is on a visit to Richmond, Va., having with him specimens of the great works of his father, J. J. Audubon, the celegrated ornithol ogist, on the birds aud quadrupeds of America. Thev are magnificent works, embracing five hun dred beautiful plate* of birds, in seven volumes, and a hundred and fifty plates of quadrupeds in three volumes. Mr. Audubon is a devotee of tic pursuit in which his venerable father acquired a world-wide fame. The “Monroe Doctrine" is compressed in the sentence of one of Mr. Monroe's messages, “that the American continents, by the free and indepen dent condition which thev have assumed and main tained, are henceforth not to be considered as sub jects for future colonization bv any European powers."

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 [communicated.] 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.

A great physical law, possessing the most important intiuence over the health ot the 00,1 y. has been entirety overlooked and neglected l>y the Medical Faculty. WONDERFUL POWER OF THE It. R R. REMEDIES IN KEEPING THE BODY HEALTHY AND FREE FROM PAIN. ITT-EQUALIZE AND REGULATE. _0 O- EQUALIZE T IIE CIRC UL A T ION. _0 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. , HOW THE R. R. K REMEDIES RAISED MRS. SA RAH A fIOU'IH from a crippled and helpless cou -1 dition, to sound health, after >he skill of four of the most learned Physicians in New York had tailed to relieve her—Prs. Parker, Reese Wardleand Made lan. 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 like ' BARAII A. HOUGH. ?tt 30th stieet. between tiieTth and Bth avs.. N. Y 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. Radway’s Regulators, when the system is out of order. : Railway's Renovating Resolvent when the system is afflicted with Chronic or Scrofulous Diseases.
