In a few weeks the political campaign will open in this State for the election of a Governor, mein- > bers of Congress, and Senators and Representatives to the State Legislature.

He is anxious to sell out his stock, and a favorable opportunity is ottered to those who desire to pur chase dry goods. Mr. Brennan ha* been an enterprising mer chant in Augusta, and retires from business here to enable him to enter a wider field in the city of New York. Prosperity attend him. Democratic Gubernatorial Convention. The Gubernatorial Convention of the Democrat ic party of the State of Georgia will assemble at MUledgevide, to-morrow, Wednesday, June 24th. Messrs. A. H. Colquitt, James Gardner, H. B. Lamar, J H. Lcmfkin, Wm. H. Stiles, and H. Warner, are the most prominent candidates for the nomination. Col. Liockridge’s Report, We publish this morning, to the exclusion of much of our usual summary of news, the report of Col. Lockridge to Wm. Walker, President of Nicaragua, detailing the causes which led to the suspension of operations against the Costa Rican forces, and the evacuation of the San Juan river. It appears from Col. Lockridgk’s letter and the re cent letter of Mr. Walker, to President Buchanan, that the Nicaraguan ai my had to contend against the allied forces of the Costa Ricans on land, and against the English war steamers on the Alantic, and a United States man-of-war, the St. Mary's, on the Pacific coast. We have no room for comment to-day. Fire in Brunswick. A fire occurred at Brunswick, Ga., ou the IStli inst., which destroyed belong"? ‘g e ”_ eral large houses in course of construction were consumed. Nomination In the Sixth District—— lion. James Jackson. “ We learn from a private source.” says the At lanta Intelligencer, of the *22d inst., “ that the Dem ocratic Convention of the Sixth Congressional District nominated the Hon. James Jackson, of Clarke, as the candidate c>f the party. We have not been able to ascertain all the particulars, up to the time of our going to press, though we learn that several delegations withdrew from the Con vention.” The second number of “ Equal Rights” has been received, and will appear to-morrow. pSf* 1 Wm. T. Thompson, Esq., of the Savannah Morning News, gave us an unexpected call yester day forenoon. The Major looks fine, and we are pleased to learn that the Sties is in a highly pros perous condition. 13T The Daily Intelligencer, at Atlanta, of 22d I inst, says : “J. D. Frierson, special agent of the Post Office Department, caused the arrest of Lew is Lane, assistant Postmaster at Starkesville, Ga., * for secreting a valuable letter. Lane was bound over in a bond of two thousand dollars for his ap pearance in November next at the United States Court, in Savannah. Iw?”’ The two bright stars which have been no ticed for many mornings, the past two weeks, are Venus and Jupiter. The brightest one is Venus, and has been regarded by many persons as the Comet. Failure of the India Cotton Crop. —A corres pondent of the Liverpool Pott, writing after full advices by the last India mail, expresses the opin ion that there will be a very great deficiency in the cotton crop of that country the present year—that its contribution to the Liverpool market will not amount to more thau three hundred thousand bales instead of seven hundred thousand, as an ticipated. The highest Bombay estimate, indeed, of the whole India crop is three hundred and six ty thousand bales, of which sixty thousand have already been purchased by German houses. The season has been very unfavorable in all the cotton growing districts. The October and November rains failed almost entirely, and there will be not only a scarcity of cotton, but of grain also. An Important Decision. —The Supreme Court of Rhode Island, on Saturday, the 13th, decided that a bank could not be taxed on its capital stock, if the shares thereof were taxed as the personal property of the holders, because it would be a double tax. The suit on which this decision was made was brought bv the American Bank and the Provid- uce Institution for Savings, against the city of Providence, to recover certain taxes alleged to ! have been illegally assessed upon and collected of those corp .rations in the years 1855 and 1856. Under this decision, the Journal says, the city will have to refund to the various banks and savings institutions more than twenty thousand dollars, with interest upon the whole sum from the time of i payment. It is altogether the largest amount for ! which judgmeut has ever been rendered against the city. The decision also strikes from the as sessed value of the city nearly a million and a half of dollars. The Pulpit and the Stage.— On Sunday, the 7th inst, Rev. Mr. Coswat, the Unitarian cler gyman ai Cincinnati, preached a discourse upon j the theatre, in which he took very decided ground J in favor of theatrical amusements, and of the j duty of Christians of attending them. Vaccination a Cure for Whooping Cough. Dr. J. F. Alexander, of this city, during the late j small pox panic, vaccinated over two hundred chil dren, and informs the Intellioencer, that he has j found vaccination a certain and speedv cure for j Whooping cough. —Atlanta American, June 20. | Rev. Dr. Kirk, in a letter from Manchester, j England, says: “ I had in the oldest factory of the i town a striking exhibition of the value of* human j art and labor. A pound of cotton was pointed out as worth a pound of gold. Its cost as crude cot ton may have been eight cents. And as a curiosi ty of art, 1 was shown a pound of cotton spun in to a thread that would go round our globe at the equator, and tie in a good large knot of manv hun dred miles in length.” Leavenworth, in Kansas.—We have been shown, by a friend and neighbor, says the New Orleans Picayune, a letter received by him from a gentle man in Leavenworth city, Kansas Territory, from which we make an interesting extract: “ This is the biggest two-year old, in the way of ajtown, I have ever seen. The city, so called, con tains a population of four or five thousand, con taining among other things, ‘too numerous to mention,’ four large hotels, (all crowded,) three banks, three steam mills, Ac. The immigration is pouring in rapidly from all quarters; and things are pretty quiet in the political line.” Fever Poisons.— ln a work recently published by an English physician on the transmission of fevers, after referring to the value of thorough ven tilation, light and cleanliness to disinfect clothes and apartments and to disperse infectious fever poison, he says: “ It is important to know regarding infection, that when not destroyed or dispersed in the sick room, it attaches itself and adheres with great tenacity to all articles of furniture—chairs, tables, drawers, Ac., nestling in their innumerable pores • and unless these articles be scrubbed with a solu tion of chloride of lime, or exposed to a strong heat, or a free current of air for several hours, it may again become evolved, more virulently than at first, after the lapse of weeks. But it chiefly adheres to cotton and woolen materials. The pa tient’s body-clothes and blankets become saturated with it, like a sponge with water; and in airing these materials a mere passing breeze is not al ways sufficient to carry it away.” Death of Col. Keith. Col. Matthew Irvin Keith died at his residence this morning at about seven o’clock. He was taken ill on Tuesday of billious-cliolic. This well known citizen, although he had passed the age of seventy, was in such usual vigor of health, strength of action, and freshness of appearance, that his death takes the community by surprise. He has ever been distinguished in it as a gentle man of fine and rare powers of mind, of elevated and chivalrous character, of noble bearing and manners, of punctilious amenity in association—a “Bayaru, without fear and aitho’ut reproach.” That commanding and distingue form, which now reposes in its last sleep, ever reminded of the gallant soildier and accomplished officer, who in youthful patriotism and with lofty spirit rendered active service as a Captain in’the war of 1812. There are comrades still living, who have ever at tested his high and remarkable traits as a man and an officer, who have ever fondly cherished him as an officer, and whose tears will flow upon his bier. He was the cynosure of younger generations, who ever hung upon his glowing thoughts, admired and revered his elevated sentiments and found an example in his ever kindly and noble port and conduct.— Charleston. Keening News, June 10. Prom Correspondence of the Baltimore. Sun. Washington, June IS. —I communicated to you some days ago the fact that letters from members of Gen. Santa Anna’s family had been received bv his friends in the United States, stating that with in ninety days that resourceful and veteran chief would again plant his standard in Mexico, Sever al circumstances have occurred to corroborate this fact. Not only Gen. Santa Anna’s manifesto and confidential circulars, but events in Cuba appear to render it certain that an expedition is on foot in aid of the restoration of Santa Anna’s power in Mexico. Frequent revolutionary attempts by Santa Anna’s friends in various parts of Mexico are chronicled in Mexican journals; and that they are all suppressed is more difficult of belief than that they were evidences of a general reactionary organization. The part which Spain intends to take, either openly or covertly, in the restoratien of Santa An na and of his plan of an imperial government, is of more importance to us than any mere change ot one government for another in Mexico would be. If Spain has formed any alliance with Santa Anna lookmg to the re-establishment of Spanish domin ion in Mexico, it may lead to the ultimate expul sion of Spanish power from America. It is stated that no order can be found at the Navy Department, from the present or late Secre taries, either to Commander Merviue or to Com mander Davis, which could justify his late “con vention” witli Gen. Walker, or his interference in any mode with Walker’s affairs. This maybe so. 1 find in the statement of Gen. Henningseii a re port of the explanation of Capt. Davis on this sub ject. Though he had referred to orders and -ujj structtqyi,„Y.et„he„Vbarfiseing the case, it is hardly worth while to look further for the in structions, if any there were. Our aspiring Lieu tenants are sometimes too fond of taking responsi bilities, as w r e have seen in several striking in stances. lon. The following letter from one of the best and most scientific planters in Chambers county, Ala., came to hand on Saturday: Chambers Co., Ala., June 19, 1857. Ed. Daily Sun : You seem to manifest consider able interest in the prospect cf the cotton crop. I have, therefore, thought proper to send you the following. Referring to my day-book, 1 find I had cotton blooms here, on my plantation, as tollows: In 1841 June 13 I In 1850 June 22 “ 1342 “91 “ 1851 “ 12 “ 1843 “ 22 | “ 1852 “ 17 “ 1844 “ 6 ! “ 1853 “ 15 “ 1845 “ 9 j “ 1854 “ 24 “ 1846 “ 18 I “ 1855 “ 14 “ 1348 “ 16 | “ 1856 “ 24 This year the crop is considerably later than ever known before. I cannot possibly have a cot ton bloom before the first of July, and they will then be very scarce.— Columbus Sun, June 22. A Thousand Fold,—We have just been inform ed, ou the authority of a citizen of Monroe county, whose word is enti’tied to implicit credit, that he was shown a bunch of wheat containing seventy stalks. On each stalk there was an average of fif teen grains to each head, making in all the enor mous yield of one thousand and fifty grains of wheat from a single grain. Nor is this to be regarded an isolated case. The crop in the county is represented as being as good as it is possible for the land to make it. We con gratulate ourselves, therefore, on the prospect of cheap bread for another year. Forsyth Journal, June 20. A substantial Old Line Whig, of a neighboring town, who supports Buchanan aud the Democrat ic party on national principles, made a good re mark in allusion to the New Haven gerrymander bill. “Ask a member who voted for that bill,” said he, “what he thinks of it since the election in New Haven, and his lip will hang down like the drip-leather under thebung of a molasses hogshead /” What a comparison ! —Hartford Times. Washington, June 19.—A dispatch has been re ceived from Emory I). Hotter accepting one of the vacant Utah judgships. He is an ex-member of Congress from Ohio. The other has been ottered to Mr. Eckles, of In diana, who probable will accept. It is uncertain whether Judge Stiles, who is nowhere, will re turn to the territory. A well-founded report assigns Thomas 11. Dunn, of Mississippi, the marshalstiip of Utah. Col. Cummings will again be tendered the Gov ernorship of Utah, and his acceptance is consider ed certain. The California overland mail question, after un dergoing a thorough consideration in Cabinet, has been referred to the Postmaster General, who is not yet prepared to|pronounce his decision. How ever, an impression prevails that the southern route will be selected, commencing at Memphis and continuing byway of Fort Smith, Donna An na and Fort Yuma. The object is to have the route through a country susceptible of easv settlement, and which will not be interrupted by heavv snows. Some of the bidders desire to be heard before the Postmaster General before he shall finally dispose of the question. St. Albans, \ t., June 17.—Hon. Augustus Young, State Naturalist, formerly member of Con gress from this State, died here this afternoon at the age of sixty-three years. Kansas, June 17.—Gov. Robinson’s inaugural says: “Free State men will not participate in bogus elections, but will maintain their position against all usurped authority and interference with their State, at all hazards, through all time.” Patterson, N. J., June 19. —The boiler of the steamboiler establishment of A. C. Blarcom ex ploded to-day, demolishing the whole building and injuring those adjoining. Several persons were injured, but no lives were lost. Louisivlle, June 17.—Fourteen counties heard from give Bullitt, the Democratic candidate for appellate judge, six hundred and lhirty-two major itv. The chances are ia favor of his election, but the betiug is about even. GLOBE HOTEL. AUGUSTA, GA.

Mbs E - C. STARK, (formerly E. O. W est) Proprietress, j myN 2ta late of the Augusta Hotel. [communicated.] Mr. Elitor: There have several objections been made to the act of the last Legislature, pro posing an amendment of the Constitution, so far as to alter the mode of electing Judges of the Su preme Court, theabolishingthe Inferior Courts, and organizing new- county Courts in their stead, and the curtailing the Justices’ Courts, in their juris diction, to the limit which obtained previous to the last act. As far as the elections of Judges of the Supreme Court are concerned, it is a subject of not much moment, whether the people through their repre sentatives, or directly themselves, should make the choice. The persons selected for that distin guished and responsible station, will doubtless be competent to its duties; and in that view it is quite immaterial whether or not the proposed change be made. And as to the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace, the same views would, in general prevail, and render tnat of itself alone, a subject scarcely worthy of either advocating or op posing, except that it is proposed as an amend ment in connection with others of importance; and as by the act passed and now before the peo ple, as a whole for consideration, it may be sug guestedthat long experience hasdemonstrated that it is safe to keep those Courts within low limits— the larger the jurisdiction, the more importance at taches to the proceedings of these Courts and the greater the object to contest their decisions, and it w-ill not be denied that many of their adjudica tions, if carried up for error, would not pass the ordeal of a Superior Court, and under these cir cumstances it inigat be well to place it where it was before the late act increasing the jurisdiction of these Courts. The principal object of this communication is to suggest some other reasons than those stated, why, as a whole, the proposed amendment should be engrafted on our Constitution, and to effect which, that the representatives to the next General Assembly should consider themselves instructed on the subject. The abolishing of the Inferior Courts of the State, as at present existing, and the organizing of county Courts, iu their stead, with one presid ing officer, instead of five, is a measure of consid erable moment to the people at large, and in addi tion to the unwieldy nature of the Court, and the justices, almost universally being selected from those not skilled in the nature «f the legal duties they ate called on to perform, and being persons required, aud expected to perform public services without remuneration, would of themselves be sufficient to determine the propriety of a change ; but in addition, without any disparagement to the occupants of the Benches of those Courts, they not having made the study of the law their pro fession, they are entirely unqualified to decide the many legal points that constantly rise before them, aud are wrong perhaps oftener than right, as would naturally be expected uuder such circum stances, which renders the forms of an adjudica tion before them, as far as law is concerned, a mere farce ; but these officers are entitled to grate ful thanks of their constituents for the gratuitous discharge of duties, for which it was known they were incompetent, with honestnoss of purpose, and to the best of their ability—-and does uot sheer justice to them, as well as the interests of the whole community, require that they should be relieved from this onerous duty, and those competent to its proper discharge,’with suitable remuneration for the duties required, be substitu ted. But beyond these, there exists another and more important reason why the proposed altera tion should be made. It is a well known fact to those conversant with our Superior Courts for the last several years, that from the gradual increase in litigated business before them, and especially on the criminal side, and this having precedence, by the time the criminal dockets are disposed of, there generally remains but littleof the time limit ed to the several counties for the transaction of the civil business, and the common law, equity aud certi orari, and other matters before the Courts are left to stand over, or as is frequently the case, par ties are compelled to risk a trial on the first call unprepared, fearing that if an opportunity passes, there is no certainty when the cause will be reached again. In many of the more populous counties, the civil business has accumulated, and stands over from term to term without trial, and this without any fault ou the part of the presiding Judges, but principally caused by the increase of criminal business, which should, and has precedence, and to such an extent has this prevailed, that it has become a serious grievance to those concerned in civil litigation. The proposed amendment of County Courts, would relieve the counties, generally, from the dif ficulty alluded to, except, perhaps, as to some six or eight containing cities and towns within them ; transferring the trial of all criminal charges be low felony to these smaller counties would have the desired ettect. But for the more populous t, '. /Vf -"~*,y ’ siioli as ChQ)K«—- )>'*■*-» ».icii tnond, Tulton, Muscogee, and perhaps some others, another provision of the proposed act of amendment provides, in the discretion of tlie Leg islature at any time, to confer on any of the Courts of any county any portion of the entire criminal jurisdiction' of the county, without ap peal to the Superior Courts, .which doubtless would be carried out as deemed expedient, and thus the entire evil complained ol would be reme died, by a transfer from the Superior Courts of the counties so crowded, of a criminal business, to these County Courts—leaving the Superior Courts to adjudicate matters of law and equity; which, with the size ot the limits and the business of that nature now before them, are fully suffi cient to occupy the time and energies of any man, not of extraordinary physical powers. The objection of some to the proposed amend ment, that it would only eventuate in increasing the expenses of litigation, and thus be onerous both to suitors and the public, and beneficial alone to lawyers, is considered as a mere ad captandum argument, intended more for Buncomb than for any intrinsic merit attached to its importance, and is therefore passed by without special notice. Georgia. Albany, June 18.—Professor McCoy, editor of the Prohibitionist, and secretary of the State Temperance Society, to-day resigned both posi tions.

Mrs. ('lute, of No. 272 Second street, believing her child, about three years old, to be troubled with worms, purchased one bottle of Dr. M’Lane's Celebrated VERMIFUGE, pre pared by Flendng Bros., Pittsburgh, Pa., and gave it two tea spoonsful, which hud the effect of causing the child to dis charge a large number of worms.

The fire spread with alarming rapidity, and soon six build ings were enveloped in flames, occupied by the following gentlemen, engaged in mercantile pur suits. The house on the cornor of Court street and Front Row was occupied by Messrs. J. W.

The women of Eastern countries are famous, the world over, for the texture of their skin and the loveliness of their complexion. Much of this they owe to the means they take to preserve It, and heighten its beauty. For this purpose one standard preparation universally prevails—the far-famed Kallieton or Orient li'ofer—sometimes termed, in significant Eastern language, the “ Bath of Beauty." It gives the skill that peculiar softness of texture so greatly admired, and that beautiful, mild glow which no art can imi tate. We understand that measures are being taken to place the Kalliaton abundantly in the American market, it being found peculiarly adapted to relieve the effects ofour changea ble climate—the harsh winds and the hot sun—the severe cold of winter, and the dry, burning atmosphere of summer.

If so, call at once on Dr. SHERMAN, (who will be at the United States Hotel from Monday, 16th to Wednesday 18th March,) and procure one of his newly invent ed TRUSSES. They set as easy to the body as a glove to the hand, and will retain the most weighty rupture with perfect ease. The following certificate will speak for itself. “ Having examined the Truss submitted for inspection by Dr. S. J. Sherman, we do not hesitate to express the opinion that its construction Is admirably adapted for the treatment of Inguinal Hernia. “The facility with which by a simple contrivance the pad ma\ be adjusted over the seat of the disease, will obviate much of the difficulty usually experienced in fitting of a truss accu rately. We therefore recommend its use to the subjects of i hut disease. 11. 11. Steiner, M. D. R. Southgate, M, I).

Tucker would announce to the public that he has again associated him self in business with Mr. J. 1\ , PERKINS, who has bestowed his entire attention upon this branch of the art during the three years of his absencefrom Augusta. We have every facility the world affords for the production of as good PHOTOGRAPHS, either plain or colored, as can be shown in any portion of our country or Europe. We feel assured that this is a style of pic ture that stands unrivalled in the world of art, and it is now taking the place of every other method of portraiture. It has the durability of the oil painting, the correctness of the daguer reotype, and Die color of life. We are enabled, with our mam moth camera, to portray the image, either on canvass or paper, the size of life, and from the smallest daguerreotype of deceased persons. This style of picture can be taken enlarged to any size desired. The Canvass Photograph is an entirely new applica tion of the art, recently invented and patented by Mr. Tatum, of Mississippi. This process we have secured for our own use in this city. We have been fortunate in securing the services of one of the best photographic colorists in America, whose productions as works of art are unsurpassed in any section of the country they speak for themselves, and the public are respectfully in vited to call at our gallery and examine them.

RYNGITIS, and other Diseases of the Chest and Throat, sue cessfully treated by the Inhalation of vapors and Powders, by absorption and constitutional treatment, as practiced at the Stuvcsant Medical Institute, New York City. The unprecedented success which has attended the method of treating diseases of the Lungs and Throat, has induced us to depart from our usual course, and avail ourselves of tne columns of the Press, in order to bring It. to the knowledge of such as may he laboring under, or predisposed to such affections. The dau n ol a brighter day has at length arrived for the consump tive ; the doctrine of the incurability of Consumption having passed away. We have indubitable proofs in out possession THAT CONSUMPTION IN ALL ITS STAGES CAN BE CURED ; hi the Hist, by tubercular absorption ; in the second, by the transfor mation of the tubcreule into chalky and calcareous concretions; In the third, by cicatrices, or scars. Those wedded to the opin ions of the past may assert, that even now. Consumption is in curable, such are behind the age. To all, this great truth must be apparent, viz: that the medicines inhaled in tho form of Va por or Powder, directly into the Lungs, must be much more effective than that taken into the stomach, where the diseases do not exist. The advantage of inhalation in Consumption and Throat Diseases is, that medicines in the form of Vapor are ap plied directly to the Lungs where the diseases exist; the sto mach is thus left free to aid in restoring health, by administer, ing to it health, life-giving food. There is no case so hopeless that Inhalation will not reach! The means, too, are brought within the reach of all; the manner of administering the Va pors being so simple, that the invalid is never required to leave home, where the hand of friendship and affection tends so much to aid the physician’s efforts. Tne Inhaling method is soothing, safe and speedy, and con sists in the administration of medicine in such a manner that they are conveyed into the Lungs in the form of vapor, ami produce their action at the seat of the disease. Its practical suc cess is destined to revolutionize the opinions of the medical world, and establish the entire curability of Consumption. I earnestly appeal to the common sense of all afflicted with Lung diseases, to embrace at once the advantages of Inhalation and no longer apply medicine to the unoffending stomach i chum for Inhalation a place amongst the priceless gifts that nature and art hath given us, that “our (lava m,,-i , •he land," and as the only ARK OFREFUGENorths & Sous’ a 0t olJy RATI&NAX ’ SIMPLE AND Such of the profession that have adopted Inhalation have '*s*£** wirifthi’. \° mrvke themselves acquainted . h thu practice, are informed, that our time being valuable, contMn a fee reP s "’ ** t 0 ln S redients used, to such letters that < S SOS P’ l 'aionary Affections will be #5.00,0n fSrarFwioi ppi t J e necessary medicines and instrument will be “jr'earded.
