W KDN END AY MORNING, MAY 7.
Death of William Crosby Dawson.
The painful intelligence reached our city yester
day of the death of the Hon. \Vv. C. Dawson, and
produced a deep and universal feeling of sorrow.
It occurred at his residence in Greensboro , about
three o’clock yesterday morning.
This sad event will cause the most sorrowful
emotions, not only in the community in which this
distinguished gentleman lived—not only through
out the State of Georgia, of which he was a favo
rite and much honored son, but in every part of
the Union; for he was extensively known and
generally beloved.
Mr. Dawson filled many posts of responsibility
and distinction during his long aud honorable ca
reer in the public service of bis State and country.
In early life he was a member of the Legislature,
nnd for ten years Clerk of the House of Represen
tatives. He was, subsequently, under the general
ticket system elected, several times, member of
Congress, where he served with credit and distinc
tion. He also, for a short period, filled the office
of Judge of the Superior Court, and was Senator
in Congress for six years prior to March, 1855. At
Washington City he was a universal favorite. He
was much admired for his courtliness of manners
and amenity of temper. When about to retire at the
close of his Senatorial term, he was presented
with a service of plate, as a token of the esteem of
his many friends and admirers in the Federal City.
Mr. Dawson served the people of Georgia long
and faithfully in the public counsels. In matters
of private business for his coustituents, requiring
vigilant attention and patient labor, he was ever
their efficient representative. In matters of high
public import, be was ever at his post, ready to
give to the subject in hand his best energies and
most patriotic efforts, llut it is not as the advo
cate or the statesman, the loss of Mr. Dawson will
be most deeply felt and mourned by his fellow cit
izens. It is as the kind aud amiable gentleman
—the warm hearted, hospitable and generous
friend—the benevolent and sympathizing man,
with a hand “open as the day to melting charity,”
that ho will be most feelingly remembered. The
death of such a man is a public calamity. There
can be no division of sentiment—no distinction of
classes or parties—in doing honor to his memory.
We compile from the Historical Collections «.)
Georgia, the following:
The Hon. W. C. Dawson was born in Greene
county, Ga., aud his academic course was first
taken under the direction of the Rev. Dr. Cum
mins, and afterwards at the county academy in
Greenesborougli. At an early age he entered
Franklin College, and was graduated in 1816.
Upon leaving College, he immediately com
menced the study of law in the office of the Hon.
Thos. W. Cobb, at Lexington ; and at the expira
tion of a year he entered the Law School at Litch
field, Conn., under the care of Judges Reeve ami
Gocld. After taking a full course of lectures, lie
returned to Greenesborough, was admitted to the
bar, and in a short time ranked very high in his
profession.
In 1621, lie was elected Clerk of the House of
Represeniatives of the Slate Legislature; and it is
a proof of his fidelity as au officer, and his amiable
character as a man, that through frequent changes
of party supremacy, he filled that office for ten or
eleven consecutive years. In 1828, he was appoint
ed by the Legislature to compile the statutes of
Georgia, which duty he performed to the satisfac
lion of the General Assembly and the legal pro
fession. lu 1845, he was appointed by Governor
Crawford to fill a vacancy on the bench of the Oc
mulgee Circuit, lu 1334- ’5, he represented Greene
county in the State Senate. In 1336, he was
elected to Congress, and re-elected in 1338 and
1840.
The Creek and Seminole Indians in Florida, and
on the line of Georgia, becoming hostile in ls-O,
Judge Dawson raised a company of volunteers, to
the command of which he was elected, and, under
the authority of the State Government, took the
field. Gen. Scott, who had at that time taken the
couduct of the Florida war, gave him a separate
command, aud detailed him upon a special service,
which he performed to the satisfaction of tliat gal-
Uut soldier.
In the winter of 1347, he was elected to the Uni
ted States Seuute, and a! the close of his term re
tired to private life.

We were unable to accept the hospitable invita

attend the opening of the above commodious es

agreeable affair, as we learn front several compli
mentary notices of the press. A friend writing us
on business, adds the following postscript:
“ 1 attended the party at the opening of the rail
road hotel, at the Stone Mountain, ou Tuesday
evening last, and found every thing in good style
I would say there were from four to six hundred
persons present, and all seemed to be well pleased;
indeed the accommodations were so amp!* that a
much larger number could have been well enter
tained. The house is large and well supplied w ith
new furniture, and the proprietors, Clark A Alex

Ualauce of Power.
At a recent celebratiou in honor of the memory
of Henry Clav, at his birth place, the well known
Hanover Slashes, in Virginia, the Honorable Caleb
Cushing, Attorney General of the United States,
and one of the most confidential advisers of Presi
dent Pierce, delivered a speech, in the course of
which he is reported as having said :
“ I will here hazard the remark that it needs but
one great step—the greatest—so great, in fact, that
I almost hesitate in view of the rashness of hint
ing at that idea. 1 say, I believe it needs but one
great step to consolidate this Union beyond all the
storms of fate. When 1 sav to consolidate this
Union, I mean to give it perpetual strength, for 1
will not believe that any of the transient emotions
of the hour ought to shrike it. With the old Greek,
I would abjure the names of the dead at Marathon!
* Fckroi en Marathonl l might say that bv those
who died, but were not conquered, at Bunker Hill
or King’s Mountain—by those who conquered at
Saratoga or Yorktown -by the sufferings and sac
rifices of our forefathers—by the common heritage
of the institutions they have transmitted to us
this Union cannot cease. But I will declare my
conviction that, to render the solidity of the fabric
of the Union immovable, it needs only that the
balance of power he established between the North
and the South to terminate the question ; and it
does need that the balance of power he fixed per
manently, and by means that 1 cannot now sug
gest."
This position of Mr. Cushing has been unmerci
fully assailed by northern journals; and vet its
wisdom and its necessity must address itself to
every thinking mind. Either one section must
give itself up to be trampled upon by the other at
its pleasure, or there must be a dissolution of the
Union; or, finally, there must be established a
balance of power that will render it impossible for
the North or the South to hope for a dominant in
fluence, but will secure to each an effective veto.
As to the abject submission of the South, we
cannot admit it as a possibility. As to the dissolu
tion of the Union, it is the niost natural, effectual
and perfect way of settling the difficulty, provided
only we could agree upon it. But for "the present
there seem dithcitlties in the way not easy to sur
mount. The third resource is briefly hinted at bv
Mr. Cushing, but without specification. It is to
give the North and South a veto upon each other
in Congress. We cannot only interpret his idea of
the balance of power in' this" way. But this bal
ance can only be secured by the reciprocal predom
inance of the two sections in the Senate and the
House, or by the double Executive proposed bv Mr.
Calhoun.
""“"Petty politicians, educated in no school but that
of the stump, have laughed at this idea of a double
Executive ; that is to sav, all such minds run in
evitably towards a central, irresponsible power, of
which they hope to get, in whole or in part, the
enjoyment.
But the grandest Government that ever existed
—the one which has impressed itseif most upon
the legislation, the social ideas and military organ
ization of modern Europe—the Roman Republic—
had, as one of its most characteristic features, this
division of the Executive power between the two
Consuls. There is no instance in history— except,
perhaps, in the little State of Sparta, where the
Executive authority was divided between two
kings—of such permanent and peaceful working
of a great constitutional law, as this Roman pro
vision of two Consuls. So firmly had it fixed it
self in the minds .of the people as an indispensa
ble part of the Government, that for a long time
after the Empire had absorbed all the practical
powers of administration, civil and military, the
institution of the two Consuls was preserved as an
august ceremonial, and the year was marked by
their names.
It is no new idea, therefore, that the Executive
power may be divided, in a Republic, as a means
of self-preservation. The first two Consuls of
Rome represented, in all probability, two great
parties of the people.
1 fit had been the fortune of our ancestors to see
what kind of storm threatened to demolish their
work, it is probable thnt they also would have de
cided on two Consuls. Can posterity repair the
defect?
Important Discovert in Tanning.— Mr. Jesse'
Morgan, for a long period of years a much esteem
ed citizen of our town, and who, for the same
length of time, has been engaged iu the above bu
siness, has succeeded in making successful appli
cations of a new process in tanning, which prom
ises to he of great value to this important branch
of mechanical •industry. The advantages of the
discovery consist in a saving of more than one
half of the time employed bv the old process, and i
also a saving of otie half of the bark and labor, tbe j
material being taken in the half-tanned state; and j
by the new system the process of tanning is ac- i
complished in a few hours. Those who" are nc j
quainted with the method by which hides are con- j
vet ted into leather, are aware of ihe fact, that after j
it has attained what is technically termed the half- ’
tanned state, the process becomes more tedious as 1
it approaches completion. The new method obvi
ates this tedious process, and produces a speedy i
finish.
Mr. Morgan has left specimens of leather pre
pared after this new plan, at our oflice. Tliev j
nave been subjected to the close scrutiny and ex- i
aminatinn of several gentlemen engaged iu the
manufacture of shoes, harness Ac., aud have been
pronounced as fully equal in quality and complete
ness of finish to that tanned after the old process.
The importance and value of this improvement
is more fully apparent when we consider the
scarcity which is now experienced of the tanning
substance, bark, and the great length of time fo£ i
merlv consumed in preparing leather for use. We i
think we may justly claim for it a prominent post- i
tmn among the discoveries of the dav, affectiue 1
materially, as it does, one of the leading and most ;
important articles both of foreign and domestic
use.
Mi. Morgan informs vis that for man v years he
has experimented with the view to a similar re
sult, hut not until the present has he been enabled
to consummate his process. He also informs us !
that he has disposed of several pieces of his i
leather to different persons in our District, all of j
whom, iu addition to those above alluded to agree 1
as to the practicability of his discovery. He de
signs applying for a patent as soon as circumstan
ces will permit. Success to him.

THE SUICIDE.
Take her up gently from the cold earth, and fold
the slight hands upon the bosom whence all pain
has fled. Speak no light word of her who rashly
thus lias cast away the life God gave her —for to
Him alone, who reads all hearts, her great sorrosrs
have been known, and ’tis for him alone to pun
ish. There rests upon that brow an awful calm—
a presence all mysterious ; that tells of the deep
agony too great to bear—of the heart-strings fro
zen at last, and then broken in the wild, despairing
struggle. Oh !it is very sad to look on one whose
spaii of life, not sixteen summers yet hath breath
ed upon, and feel with mournfulness that for her
the past has been one long, deep, painful vigil—an
agonizing brooding over some fearful wrong—till
the sullen river, rolling onward, closed over the
fragile form, and hushed beneath its waves the
moaning wail of grief that burst from the throb
bing heart. The midnight winds in their jour
neyings, perchance, have borne upon their breath
ing sigh her last supplication to the great Father
of mercies ; and as the slanting sunbeams waver
ed through the crystal deep, uhe shall say the
darkened spirit bathed not in their senescent light;
or that the angels, who tread the bright meridian
gave not their intercession for the poor wanderer,
whose penance long had broken the ashen crust of
bitterness. No signet of decay rests on the pale
cheek that thus, in the autumn time, has faded
with the dying flowers, but the tender buds of
youth’s eternal May for her have been blighted, ere
they blossomed. \Ve gaze upon her, and the vanish
edyears pass, one by one, before us, till we hear her
silvery laugh, as like some sportive sylph she
chased the butterfliesjin ehildhoold's thoughtless
hours. Thus following her, we start and shudder
at the desolating change. The home she once
made light by ber dear presence, lies in the dim
shadow of a dishonored name. The spring flow
ers still bloom along the familiar paths, but the
spoiler has borne from the cherishing bossoni
the sweetest blossom of them all. The music
of stream and bird will come back when the ice
king leaves his tottering throne, but there is a voice
heard no more in the desolate chambers, and a name
banished from the evening prayer. They miss her
from the fire-side, and her place is vacant at the
board. A stain is flung upon the brightness of her
memory, and she is nameless overmore. An out
cast —branded with guilt—hunted from place to
place —unpitied—with none to speak the word of
kindness, that falls like refreshing dew upon
the wasting heart—seeking in vain for some
reluge where, robed in sorrow, she might in soli
tude expatiate the past. But no, nor dream, nor
rest, nor shelter. Oppressed and scorned on every
side —no hope to lay upon the spirit’s broken
shrine, nor shed upon the fainting soul the halo
of sweet divinity—distrustful of pardon or of mer
cy, she rushes to her fate. On one side lies the
path which she perchance has entered, ami feels
that to pursue must lead to deeper ruin—where
sin and shame, twin sisters, flaunt hand in hand,
decked in their robes of splendor, that but the
priceless purity of soul may purchase; and, oh I
she feels that when the jewel is bartered, squalid
poverty walks close behind to tread with her the
precincts of perdition. The laving tide close at
her feet with its ceaseless nnirmurings, forever of
fers a resting place, the cold world denies her
here, and sinking 'neath its waves, the overbur
ttaened spirit has gone—God pity her— whither t
How bravely do we gird ourselves to rebuke an
erring sister—all forgetful that though we know
ourselves to-day, we are but frail humanity, and
an hour may see our pride of virtue trail its glit
tering pinions in the dust, even as the sun sets to
day in a bright flood of molten gold, may sink
to-morrow ’neath a cloud. Thiol: on this und drop
the tear of pity while the harsh rebuke lies hushed
upon the lip, for every crystal drop lies like a
sparkling gem upon the sufferer’s crown of thorns.
Close, 'then, those sightless eyes whence the light
has tied, nor shrink from that poor unfortunate. No
pollution rests upon her now, and though no con
secrated dust surround her, the once lowly Naza
rite, who sits upon the throne of Heaven, will
measure justice equally with her who fills a pau
per’s grave and the proud one shrined in some
princely mausoleum. Louise Reeder.
[ln order that the reader may better understand
the subject matter of the “Suicide,” by Miss Reed
er, we give the following outlines of the poor tin
fortunate unknown who is the subject of the above
article:
We recollect reading some time since an account
of u young girl having been found drowned in the
Schuylkill river, aud for a time was laid out in the
chan tv hospital in order that she might be recog
nized by hei relatives When found, her dress
was of the best material, neatly made, and in her
pocket was found a note wrapped in oil silk, in or
der that the water might not affect it, which note
stated that it was an act of her own. This created
much interest to discover her parentage ; many
visited her remains, and no clue could be had to
identity. Just as the director of the hospital was
about to place her remains in a common pine cof
fin, to consign them to the resting place of the
miserable and unfortunate, au old man, accompa
nied by a young gentleman entered, and on exam
ining her person closely, they seemed to be deject
ed. The young man ordered a handsome coffin,
one appropriate for her personal attractions, and
purchased a burial pluce in the cemetery, and had
tier decently interred ; and when asked’if he knew
her, answered no. Even to this day rests tho un
known in a cemetery near the city of Philadel
phia.]
The following speech of a member of the
House of Commons of England, recently deliver
ed in Parliament, is from an English paper:
Vaccination.
The House having resumed, Mr. Cowper moved
the second reading of the Vaccination Bill, ex
plaining that its intention was to make the regu
lations with regard to the matter more stringent,
and to give the boards of guardians power to de
fray the expenses of prosecuting those parents
who neglected to comply with the law. It was
also proposed to provide 'properly skilled opera
tors, as he understood that improperly performed
vaccination was the cause of much of the preju
dice entertained against it. At tiie same time, ho
proposed slightly to raise the medical fee for the
operation. Mr. Henly approved generally of the
principles of the bill] but said there were" several
details which he would propose to have altered
in committee.
Dr. Mitchell, the member from Bodmin, op
posed the bill altogether, and, amidst the alter
nate laughter and impatience of the House, quoted
a large body of statistics, to show that vaccina
tion had no influence on small-pox, except to en
courage it. He said- -
“By the Registrar General’s report it appeared
that out of four hundred and thirtv-two deaths
from small-pox, one hundred and thirtv-five were
cases in which the parties had previously been vac
cinated. On board the Constitution frigate there
were fifty nine cases <>f small-pox, and out of
those fifty-nine no less than fifty-four had been
previously vaccinated. According to Dr. Grego
ry, there were between 1824 and 1835, three thou
sand eight hundred and thirty-nine cases of
small-pox at the hospital oyer which lie presided,
three thousand and ninety-three of which wen’
after vaccination. He had statistics showing that
cases of smull-pox after vaccination had been in
creasing all over Europe. His objection to vacci
nation, then, was, that in the first place, it gave
no sort of protection against small-poxanil in
the second place, it induced paralysis, leprosy
and other diseases. An hereditary disease might
be conveyed by vaccination. There was another
reason why lie'was opposed to the system, and j
that was that vaccination very often caused death ; I
and Parliament had no right to authorize Bill
board of health to go into a man’s house and say
to him, ‘You shall submit to have a disease con
veyed to you which may imperil your life.’ lie
believed there was no doubt that the small-pox
left the patient more healthy than before, often
curing the King’s evil; and’, upon high medical
authority, he was justified in saying that vaccina
tion was no protection against small-pox, but, on
the contrary, frequently entailed the most loath- j
some diseases. For himself, he would much j
sooner have the disease of small-pox than the din- i
ease produced by vaccination.”
The bill was read a secend time without a di
vision.

We cannot refrain from calling the
attention ot our readers to an advertisement in this
| days paper, of the “HAIR RESTORATIVE” of
Prof. O. J. Wood A Co., of St. Louis. It will be
seen that he has numerous certificates from per
sons of the highest character, to the merits of his
Restorative. From positive knowledge, we are also
enabled to say that it is in every sense what it pro
j fosses to be, and we do not hesitate to pronounce
j it the finest preparation for the iieaJ aud fiair wfiu-fi
i has so far been devised by human ingenuity. We
| have seen it arrest threatened baldness, and restore
| to the head it* original profusion of natural and
j glossy hair, and when the latter hag been premu
j turely tinged with gray, we have seen it, like mu
gic, restore the colors of youth and health. The
distinguishing property of this, wo might truly
say, miraculous “Restorative," is that it gives to
the person who uses it, the same head of hair that
they wore in youth, thus acting in strict compli
ance with the rules of the first and greatest of all
j toilet makers—Nature. No one who has used it
i will hesitate to unite with us in this testimony to
i it* peculiar merit.— Covington, Ind. People's Friend.

spectfully informs his friends and the public gen
erally, that this approved and agreeable resort will
be opened for the season on the Ist of June, 1856,
with increased advantages. Grateful for the pa
tronage bestowed on the Moultrie House (when

SPECIAL NOTICES.
|SP Impelled by an honest desire to im
part useful information, and actuated with a be-
I nevolent wish to benefit tho public health, we
would call the attention of our readers to the great j
remedy known as “Rhodes'Fever and Ague Cure.” |
It is the only remedy now before the world, which i
‘ with active curative properties combines entire
! harmlessness. That this is so, we feel confident, j
from the fact that Doct. James R. Chilton, the cel
| ebrated chemist of New York, testifies to its per- j
! feet freedom from any injurious ingredients, such
as Quinine, Mercury, Arsenic, Ac., which form the
active principle of most medicines offered as a
{ remedy for Fever aud Ague and kindred disorders.
; The article under consideration is based upon the
principle that for every disease, nature furnishes
the appropriate neutralizing agent. It is well
known that miasmatic exhalations cause Fever and
Ague, and the medicine before us is calculated ex
pressly to counteract those poisonous vapors.
Iu short, it is precisely what it claims to be, a
natural Antidote to ?>falaria !

DYSPEPSIA—ITS CURE,
fBY II ERE is, probably, no disease that afflict*
.M. so large a portion of the human family; no
disease that stands so prominently among th'e list
j of “incurables;” none for which more cure* have
i been sought after ; none treated with so little sat
isfaction by physicians, and none, probably, that
has called forth so much renewed exertion and
hard study for the discovery of a cure, as the dis
ease. Dyspepsia. Cures have been sought after in
j change of physician, change of medicine, change
of diet, change of locality and climate, change of
j occupation and habits, but all to little or no pur
! pose; the disease continues, and the sufferer after
j years of unrequited labor in senreh of relief, 100.
| to all hope of recovering, sinks into despondency
; and gloom which no change of scene or circuit!-
j stance can relieve. His disease is ever present
j before him, and his mind, the theatre of dark and
I gloomy thoughts, is continually calling up ghosts
i of buried and bygone pleasures, and he looks for
ward toa future where dissatisfaction, discontent
misery and suffering are most gloomily and otv
minently portrayed; irascible, fretful,' distrustful
even of his nearest and best friends, lie drags out
an existence, not only an incumbrance to hunself,
but burdensome to his friends, his acquaintances,
and his own family.
To all such 1 would recommend attention to the
remedy known as “BLISS’S DYSPEPTIC RE
MEDY”
-a remedy, new, very simple in its com
position, but from the manner of its eombinatii
possessing curative properties surpassing anv and
| every preparation known that has ever yet been
| prepared for the cure of Dyspepsia, it G safe
I speedy and effectual, and mav he relied upon with’
! every confidence, for it will not fail even under the
j most discouraging circumstances, or with the most
’ stubborn case, no matter of how f .ng standing
I providing the patient is willing no: only to folic'.'
directions as regards taking the medicine, but oti:
1 er directions accompanying.
The proprietor is well aware that the same pre
j mises have been and are being made through ai-
I: most every print in the country, as regards other
preparations of like character, and tha” bv adver
using and heralding its virtues to the public, he
is only following in the beaten track of those vb
have gone before him, and who have promised and
assured the same perfect and speedy cures; \et as
it. seems the only course left to be pursued, he im:>
i adopt it —and in doing so, he is fuliv conscious that
I whatever he may sav of its virtues.'it will, h ma
