DAILY CONSTITUTIONALIST
PUBLISHED BY
j AMES GARDNER,
JAMES T. HlSßET— Editor.
AUGUSTA, aA.
THURSDAY MORNING, DIC. 8, 1859.
Judicial Elections.
Judge Cochra ', ot the Brunswick, and Judge
Love, of the Southern Circuit, having resigned.
The Governor has issued a proclamation ordering
an election for a Judge in each of these circuits, to
be held on the 2nd day of January next. Judge
Love resigned because elected to Congress from
the Ist District, and Judge Cochran, we suppose,
has resigned to devote his whole time to the affairs
of the Macon and Brunswick Railroad Company,
of which he is President.
Kentucky I'or Guthrie.
The Louisville Courier publishes a list of fifty
five counties in Kentucky, which have selected
delegates to the State Democratic convention
called for the purpose of appointing delegates to
the Charleston convention. Thirty-three of these
counties have instructed their delegates to vote for
delegates to Charleston favorable to the nomina
tion of Mr. Guthrie, and the Courier states that
a large majority of the counties, yet to act, will
so instruct their delegates.
State Convention.
The special committee, in the House of Repre
sentatives, to whom were referred the several bills
introduced in that body to reduce the General As
sembly by its own action, were, like the House, üß
able to agree upon any plan, and therefore recom
mend the call of a State Convention to amend the
Constitution, and reported a bill for that purpose.
This bill has been passed by the House by a ma
jority of twenty-eight votes.
We do not know what are exactly the provisions
of this bill, as we bare not yet received a copy of
it. We understand, however, that it provides for
the election, on the first Wednesday in May next,
of delegates to a convention to be held on the first
Wednesday in June next, for the purpose of re
vising the Constitution, and gives to the thirty
seven counties having the largest representative
population, two delegates, and to each of the re
maining counties in the State, one delegate in that
Convention.
We shall regret the passage of this bill. The
Legislature, if it wiii, can make the change in the
Constitution, which is necessary to effect a reduc
tion of the General Assembly, and is, in our opin
ion, the only body competent to make it. The
Constitution under which it exists, empowers it,
alone, to make changes in the Constitution, and it
has no authority to delegate its power in the premi
ses to a Convention of the people. If it was pro
posed to make some radical change in our system
of government, the Legislature, with some proprie
ty, might invoke a directjexercise of the sovereign
ty which established that government, in makieg
the change ; but no such change is proposed, and
there is no reason why the Legislature should dis
regard the mode of constitutional amendment, pre
scribed by the Constitutiou, by calling a Conven
tion to alter that instrument. If the Legislature,
representing the existing government, has authori
ty to call such a Convention, so have the people or
any number of them acting in opposition to the
existing government, and if they choose at any
time to exercise this authority, we might have two
constitutions in Georgia and a conflict between
the two governments organised under them.
But there are many other objections to the pas
sage of this call by the Legislature; the principal
one of which, is that the convention authorised
by it, whilst it will not be a fair representation of
the people of the State, will have unlimited ccd
trol of our fundamental law, and may make
changes in it which are not now dreamed of.
The bill provides for a Convention to reduce the
General Assembly, and to make other necessary
alterations in the Constitution, thus giving to the
Convention, the authority to make as many, and
as great changes in that instrument as it may
think proper. Who can foresee how it will ex
ercise this power? It may abolish the Federal
basis of representation in our General Assembly;
abolish the Supreme Court; or make other radical
changes in our State Constitution, which are not
dreamed of by those who favor the bill calling it
If it does not make such changes, it will certainly
attempt them, and thus revive the discussion of
many questions with which we have been vexed
in years that have passed. We ought to be in
structed by our own experience. Reduction con
ventions in this State have never accomplished
anything, except to produce discussion. ADd we
ought to be instructed in Constitution making by
the experience of other States. New York, for
instance, has had, we believe, three Constitutions
since- the commencement of the present centurr,
and neither one has been an improvement upon
that which preceded it.
The Legislature alone is authorised to change
our Constitution, and if the present one will not
make the alterations which are demanded by the
people, the next one elected by them will.
Fears oI the North.
▲ writer m the Philadelphia Ledger, alluding to
the anti-slaverj crusade, thus sets forth his own
opinion, and that of many conservative people at
the North:
It is my firm conviction that there is such a
thins as straining the cord which binds North and
South together until it will snap asunder. There
is a point beyond which endurance cannot go.
Suppose the southerners should take it into their
heads that we 01 the North are oppressing our
factory operatives, and that, in the exercise of a
misguided philanthropy, they should send a band
of marauders to release those children of toil; thv
they should incite them to burn our houses, ravish
oar wives and daughters, butcher our children,
and murder ourselves; suppose that, this having
been attempted the newspapers of the South should
palliate or approve of the movement, and that
thousands should be assembled in their cities to
hear the leader of the marauders eulogised, and
that those thousands should receive the most
atrocious sentiments with the most enthusiastic
applause; suppose these things were so, would
you be surprised if we of the North should say to
the South, “ Gentlemen, this thing has been car
riad full as far as it can go; and if you invade our
rights in this fashion, there is but one alternative,
and that is, that we dissolve a Union which is no
longer a Union but in name.” Would such a
course not be natural V Might it not be necessary
and proper! I think the North ought to begin to
look at the subject in its true bearings.
As to the South not being able to maintain a
separate existence—why not ? Have they not all
the great staples—cotton, sugar, tobacco, hemp,
wheat. And have they not boundless facilities
for manufacturing ? Might not a direct trade with
England be greatly to their pecuniary advantage
in as much as they could dispense with a tariff and
enjoy free trade . Let us oot crv ‘‘no danffer,”
when there is danger.

Augdsta, Ga., Weduesday, Nov. 30,1859.
Hon. Foster Blodget,
Chairman Special Com. on Water Works:
Sir: Since the date of my last regular monthly
report, all the work under your care has been in
steady progress, and the contractors are proceed
ing as well as can be expected, considCWog the
newness of the works in which they are engaged,
in *be fulfilment of their contracts.
The operations of Messrs. Keener and Mullen
have been confined principally to the surface ex
cavation of the Basin. This was considered best
duriug the dry season, but the late rains having
made the material suitable for it, they have com
menced making the necessary embankments, and
it is expected that with their present force, con
sisting of more than a hundred men, they will be
able to complete the eastern range in due time.
Messrs. Rutherford and Green commenced lay**'
ing bricks in the walls of the tower to support the
elevated reservoir, on the 21st instant, and have
them now even with the surface of the ground, or
about seventeen feet in height above the concrete
foundation. As their services will he required
elsewhere, it is proposed to let the walls dry and
settle for a short time, when it is expected they
will proceed rapidly, and carry them to the proper
height for the iron tank.
Mr. Win. M. Hight has cast twenty-two of the
large iron girders to support the tank, and it is
expected that the remaining fourteen will be ready
at the proper time. He has made the necessary
arrangements for the construction of the tank and
other work of the elevated reservoir, and it is pre
sumed there will be no delay on his part.
Messrs. Sylvester <fc Co. have promised that a
portion of the stop cocks and fire plugs will be de
livered here on the 15th of December and Ist of
January next.
Messrs. R. D. Wood & Co. have abgut two hun
dred and fifty tons of iron pipe in Savannah ; the
state of the river, and other causes, has prevented
them from being forwarded to Augusta. It is ex
pected, however, they will be sent up in a short
time and that the laying will be resumed, and pro
ceed satisfactorily, without any important loss of
time. Os the pipes formerly received, all those
for the forcing main have been laid ; it was deem
ed best to delay the laying of the smaller pipes
until a sufficient quantity was received to enable
Mr. Robert to proceed regularly with them on the
Broad street line, in connection with the stop
cocks and fire plugs.
A brick bridge across Gardiner’s flume, on Kol
lock street, has been commenced for the purpose
>f taking the water from that flume to work the
pumps; the work of the flume East of Kollock
street has also been commenced. It was consid
ered best to proceed with this work now, because it
can best be done in connection with the work of
Mr. T. P. Stovall, who takes his water from the
same flume, and saves the expense of making tem
porary dams and other trouble likely to occur if
the flume was opened at the second level to let
he water to his mill, before the foundations of the
bridge were laid, or the extension of the flume,
East of the bridge, was completed. The bridge
will consist of three arches of five £pet span, so ar
ranged as to be closed with facility, if it should be
necessary for repairs or other purposes connected
with our works. The bridge will be ot the requir
ed height to protect the flume, and our works
from any overflow of the second level of the canal.
The exact location of the pump room, wheel pit
and crossing of the third level of the canal has nod
been determined, as I desire to hear from the coni
tractors for the pipes if they can furnish a certaiJ
form of pipe, which will have some influence in tb J
selection of the sites for them.
Preparation has been made for the manufacture’
of the porcelain conduit pipes, and it is expected
they have been commenced and will be ready in
due time. Respectfully submitted by
Ycur obedient servant,
William Phillips,
Eng. A. W. Works.
Augusta, Ga., Wednesday, )
November 30,1859. J
To the Honorable, the City Council of Augusta:
The Special Committee on Water Works, by
way of their usual monthly report, beg leave *o
. refer your Honorable body to the accompanying
report of the Engineer, which shows the progress
of the works under their charge during the month
just closed.
The bridge at Kollock street, mentioned by the
Engineer, although it is incidentally necessary to
the proper execution of their plans, involves some
changes in the grade of that street, which should
properly be directed by your Committee on Streets
and Drains ; they, therefore, ask that that Com
mittee be requested to inspect the plans of the En
gineer, and give him such orders as they may
consider proper for the grading of the street in
connection with the proposed bridge.

vate me. The immense success which has crowned iny cf-
J fo.tsto place a Pure Gin within the reach of all, under the
name of AROMATIC SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, and to
j drive out of the market the pernicious compounds sold as Gin
r throughout the country, led many leading Druggists, Apothe
j caries, and Medical men, Ur some years past, to solicit ine to
j pursue the same course in regard to the article of Brandy. 1
should have complied with these requests, from all quarters,
’ long ago, but was deterred from it by the fact that, owing to
j the exorbitant prices of Brandy in France, consequent upon
. the shortness of the Grape crop for some years, tnere was no
’ chance of my being able to import the choicest Brandy, bot
tle it,and sell it at moderate prices. Fortunately for me, the
1 Grape crop for the last and previous yes r, (and the prospect
for this), was abundant, and the prices of Brandy have fallen
to the standard of ten years ago. The duty on Brandy is also
seventy per cent, lower, and I have now made arrangements
with four Brandy exporters in France, of the highest repute,
» and am regularly receiving consignments of the Cognac Bran
-1 dy, which lam bottling and selling as WOLFE'S GENUINE
COGNAC BRANDY. I guarantee with my Seal, Labels,
and Certificates, the Brandy so bottled by me, as the pure, un
. adulterated article ; and it will be found, when used as a medi
r cine, a (leverage, or a cordial, healthful and invigorating. It
has been a matter of universal complaint, that a bottleof pure
unmixed French Brandy, was very difficult to obtain ; and the
p purchaser, nine times in ten, was deceived with a vile manu
facturcd imitation. Os a’l descriptions of ardent spirits,
Brandy, from its high price, has been the one article that mix
ers and sellers have turned their attention to ; and millions of
gallons of the so-called French Brandy have been scattered
annually through the land, and have been the primary cause
i of murders, suicides, cruelties, and crimes, and have sent
thousands to an early grave, self-destroyers, from delirium
tremens, mania-a-pofu, and horrors, names unknown, until un
principled men began to make maddening compounds, and
sell it as the pure French Brandy.
The virtues of pure French Brandy need not be told by me.
They are known throughout the world as a medicine, or mild
stimulant. It is, as the French nation poetically call it, “Eau
de la vie”—the water of life. But this appliesto it only when
pure and unadulterated. Manufactured with the fearful in
gredients that make a good imitation, it becomes a death drink
to innocent tens of thousands ofourrace. To remedy a fear
ful evil, I have commenced importing Brandy, bottling it, and
selling it as WOLFE’S GENUINE COGNACBRANDY.
I am daily receiving orders from the Druggists and Apothe
caries in all parts of the Union, to sell it for medical purposes.

AROMATIC VALLEY
WHISKY!
IN tills age of adulterated and dele.terious Liquors, it is a
source of great satisfaction to be able to introuuce to pub
lic notice the above article—an article of unquestioned purity,
and possessing no qualities except such as have the most favor
able influence on the human constitution.
A tew roods of soil on the banks of the Rhine produce the
grape, which will flourish no wheieelse, from whose juice pro
ceeds the “Johannisbtrg,” the choicest wine of the world.
A few acres of land in Cuba produce a Tobacco, the flavor
and quality of which, when manufactured into Segars, are in
comparably sujscrior to that of the product of any other soil.
And a narrow strip of land in the Parish of Natchitoches, in
Louisiana, has long supplied the world with a super-excellent
article of Snuff, from such Tobacco as cannot be induced to
grow elsewhere.
In like manner, it has long been known that a limited terri
tory, lying in the valley of the Monongahela river, exclusive
ly brings forth a Rye, of properties so marked and pecu iar,
that its distillation produces a Whisky of such superlative
character as places it beyond rivalry.
By a process recently oiscovered, and now known only to
my manufacturer, the grain from the choicest spot of this fa
vored locality is made to yield the AROMATIC VALLEY'
WHISKY, with which no other can stand an instant’s com
parison.
I Uave no apprehension of being accused of publishing un
warrantable, or even exaggerated encomiums, by any one who
will fl. st subject my Whisky to the test.
It is now the standard article at all the first class Hotels and
Clubs in the city of New York; and wherever it is introduced,
it at once assumes its leading position ; is awarded the Palm
of Superiority ; and the demand for it becomes a thing estab
lished. 6
its medicinal properties are such that, while its immediate
effects are pleasant and grateful, it exercises the happiest per
manent influence upon the constitution.
I have analyzed a sample of DAL Y’S AROMATIC VAL
LEY WHISKY, and find it to he a pure article, of fine flavor,
and without any deleterious admixture.

be pardoned for putting upon public record what is so univer
sally known in Baltimore, that lam solely and exclusively
the originator of this article by the use of Machinery.”
American Fanner, 1857.
We sold this valuable fertilizer last season upon well au
tlientieaed reports, received from other St.ates,and, so far as we
can learn, the experiment has been eminently successful. The
s les in our State show an increase of over 500 per cent, on
sales of previous vears—an increase unprecedented in the sale
of Fertilizers, which we think strong evidence of the great
value of tnis Guano, containing the elements necessary for
the growth of Crop and improvement of land, in rational pro
portions. It cannot fail to render satisfaction as long as the
article is kept up to its present standard. As a guarantee fur
this, we can fully vouch, having ascertained tliorom hly the
character and standing of Mr. John ivettleweli, of Batn,
the proprietor of this article, of which we have additional as-
by a letter of Hon. Howell Cobb, in which he says
tuathe is a ptrsonal friend of Mr. Kettleweil, of many years
standing; and that he can connnr nd him in every respect as a
gentleman worthy of regard and confidence. Oil Cotton,
Corn, Wheat, Oats, lioot Crops, &c., it ha-' produced great le
sults—increasing the product to a very groat extent. This
Manure is not a manufactured preparation, liable to changes
from one season to another ; but, as will be perceived from
the heading of this advertisement, is imported Guano of
choicest kinds, and has decided advantages over the Peruvian
uuano. First, in price ; second, in containing double the
I liospliate of Lime—the element to make Crop and improve
laud, with an abundance of Ammonia ; and thirdly, tlie fine
and dry condition—makii git ready for immediate use. Mr.
Kettlewell’s enterprise has been so successful that many imi
tations are now forced upon the public ; some mere mixtures
of doubtful Guano, handand shovel, claiming to be Manipu
lated Giu.no ; other Guano with but little Phosphate of Lime,
and no Ammonia. And we think it would be well for Plant
ers to use proper discrimination. CertiHcates regarding the
use of this Guano, from prominent Planters of our State,
could be added; but we deem it entirely unnecessary infer
ring to Pamphlets on handand in circulation for further in
formation, and letters at our office.
As the harbor of Bath is frequently closed by ice, obstruct
ing navigation, it would be well for our patrons and Planters
to send in their orders at once. We are expecting a supply
Irorn Bath at an early day, and will sell at SSO per Ton for
No, 1 ; ssl per Ton for No. 2. It is put up in handsome
Sacks. The mode of application Is very simple—sown broad
cast in hill or drill, in quantity as Peruvian Guano—say from
iOO to 300 pounds per acre. The more liberally it is applied,
the better for Crop and Land. Terms cash, or equivalent.

From the eminent Manufacturing Chemists, Messrs. Potts &

Dear Sir: RHODES' SUPERPHOSPHATE has been
applied by me this year, on a small scale, to both Corn end
Cotton. The result exceeced my expectation, although the
experiments, for many reasons, were not, and could not be
conducted with due caution ; yet, I am entirely satisfied that
the growth of Weed, irfboth instances, and the fruit in Cora
and in the number of bolls of Cotton, were fully double the
yield In the portions unmanured, and this when only a table
spoonful of the Super-Pbosphate was applied as a top-dress*
lng to each hill of Corn, and a tea-spoonfui to eich stalk of
Cotton—and the last as late in the season as the 18th of Julv
Some of the Weed grew to nine feet high, with six feet
branches, covered with bolls, while the unmanuiedwas not
half so good. It 1- my intention next year to test it more fill
ly. Very respectfully.
Your most ob’t serv’t.
(Signed), M. C. M. HAMMOND.
Uhion Point, (G. R. R.), Nov. 23, 1859.
Messrs. J. A. Ansley ACo Gents: I bought a ton of
RHODES’ SUPERPHOSPHATE in Baltimore, last spring,
through Mr. H. D. Leitner, of Berzelia, to test Its value as a
Manure. I put about 125 pounds on an acre of Cotton, in the
drill, on laud that would not make over 75 to 100 pounds of
Seed Cotton per acre, without Manure. The result is entirely
satisfactory. I have made at least 450 to 500 pounds to the
acre on this very poor land. I expect to purchase from sto 8
tons for my spring crop. My Overseer wishes me to put his
name to this also.
Yours, in great haste,
(Signed), P. W. PRINTUP.
