AUGUSTA.
WEDNESDAY
ELECTION NEWS.
Our telegraphic columns contain partial
returns of the elections In Ohio and Penn
sylvania. The general results In these two
great States, though not such as we hoped,
are precisely what we apprehended. Time
was when ouroffice would have been throng
ed by eager and expectant crowds awaiting
tidings of good or evil report. All this
is changed. Drowsy editors sit up far in the
night, as in duty bound, to receive the
telegraphic dispatches, such as they are;
but everybody else is sublimely indifferent,
and some, immersed in traffic, have proba
bly forgotten that any elections were im
minent. The South has ceased to look
Northward for deliverance or sympathy.
She is performing great things at home.
Our very latest dispatches would seem
to indicate doubts as to the result; but
the balance inclines toward the Radicals.
Further advices will be required to decide
the matter. We trust these advices will
favor the Democrats ; but it will not do to
be unduly sanguine.
Promptly Answered. —The Legislature
of Mr. Hoar, foolishly called the General
Assembly of Virginia, has passed the 14th
and 15th amendments. Whereupon the
Enquirer and Examiner propounds this co
nundrum :
“If we are invited back into the Union ;
if they cannot do without us, why don’t
they give us representation, real representa
tion ? A part of the country—and they in
sist we are—of a free country—and they
insist it is free—why don’t they allow our
Southern views—whatever they be—pro
vided they are not revolutionary—to be
expressed in the legislation of the country ?
Are we merely to be held chained to the
car of New England sentiment? Why,
then, go through the farce of giving us any
representatives at all ?”
The reply to all of this complaint is not
difficult. Virginia has displayed such a
monstrous and anxious aptitude for dirt
eating, that the Radicals intend gorging, if
such a thing be possible, the insatiable maw
of what was once a “ renowned and un
terrifled Commonwealth.” New England
sentiment is not to blame for exacting, be
cause that is New England nature; but
Virginia sentiment has gone to the dogs—
and hence these tears and this dirt-eating.
'3old for Cotton.— The New York Ex
press replies very briefly to very long arti
cles demanding gold for cotton. It says :
“ Supposing the South to get gold for her
cotton, she would receive about $275,000,-
000, which would be splendid. Then the
Government receives $300,000,000 for cus
toms in gold, which for buyers is not so
splendid. Then the men who raise sugar
tobacco, and other products at the South
would like to have gold, and then—why
then there is not so much gold in the world
as the United States Government demands
for the Treasury, and the Southern States
for their productions. When the new de
mands for gold are thus created on the
present debt, currency and political disor
ders of the country, the bulls and bears of
Wall street will be in all their glory, and a
speculation spring up, of which the recent
one will be as the breeze of a zephyr com
pared with the noise of a whirlwind.”
“ Imbecility.” —The Mobile Register has
this sharp paragraph:
“The Cincinnati Commercial calls Alex
ander H. Stephens imbecile for asserting
that the Constitution was a compact be
tween the sovereign States. Well, if it
wasn’t a compact between the sovereign
States, what was it between the sovereign
States?”
The impudence and scurrility of the
Commercial proceed from actual ignorance.
The editor, like mauy of his class, is no
doubt defective in a knowledge of the Con
stitution and early history of the United
States. Hence, lie finds it much easier to
call names than to answer arguments or
disprove asserted facts of those who know
more than he does.
A Type of Decay. —A Washington cor
respondent mourns over the neglect and
utter ruin of the statue of Jefff.uson, in
front of the Executive Mansion. This
statue is the finest work of art in the Fed
eral Capital, aud came from the hands of
the famous French sculptor, David. It is
covered with verdigris, which is fast eating
away the fine lines of the face aud the roll
of parchment emblematic of the Declara
tion of Independency Unluckily, the ver
digris has gone further than the statue. It
gnawed a big hole in the character of the
people when a Great Jobber was perrnit
ed to sit in the White House and cast cigars
and spittle at the image of a Great Founder
of the Republic.
A New Millennium. —The Americas
Republican does not think small beer of
Andrew Johnson. It says:
“ The real war for the Constitution lias
not yet begun, and when it does take place,
the South will be found as of yore, on the
side of the genuine document, and Andrew
Johnson will be found among the tried
and true.”
We suppose the South will be in position;
but a second war for the Constitution would
not be necessary had Johnson and men of
his ilk proved true during the./?/•»<.
A Mock Lord. —The lords and ladies of
shoddy and petroleum, in New York, have
been in an immense flutter over the ap
proaching nuptials of “ Lord ” Hubert
Ainsley with one of the belles of Gotham.
[Everything proceeded serenely until the
newspaper men searched the Book of Pecr
*age and failed to find any such “ Lord ” re
corded therein. He is now posted as a
Xnavish adventurer, and the gushing dam
sel to whom he is betrothed has the satis
faction of knowing that he is an imposter
and perhaps a scullion in tinsel.
Notable Language. —No one was more
disgusted with General Grant’s high jinks
than the late General John A. Rawlins.
Toward the close of his career, he thus
spoke to the editor of the New York Sun,
•who helped elect Grant:
“If things are to go on in this way, it
would be better to have elected Horatio Sey
mour.”
Something New. —The Duke of St. Al
bans, a descendant of the famous courte
san Nell Gwynn and Charles 11, has
permitted the parishioners of one of the
church livings in his gift to elect their own
minister. The living in question is worth
a little more than $1,250, and there were
bo less than five hundred applicants for it.
Savannah.— -If the Georgia negroes in
general show such tremendous Democratic
majorities as those of Savannah, their Rad
ical fronds at Washington will ere long
agitate the revival of slavery. The Radi
cals have tarred a stick in the South with
•Which their heads shall be broken.
Howling. —Mr. John Bright, the great
British Liberal, is very much distressed at
the impending collapse of the Manchester
cotton interest. He sowed the wind with
Jil|s New England friends to ruin the pro
ductive industry of the South ; let him reap
the Whirlwind in his own Quaker fashion.
A New Ruling.— Certain lawyers in the
North having been detected in stealing im
portant papers, a progressive United States
judge has decided that a copy of the stolen
indictment or other document will suffice.

{From the Boston Folio.
Why Charles Dickens Separated from
His Wife.
HIS own statement.
The great novelist prefaces his letter as
follows: “You have not only my full per
mission to show this, but I beg you to show
this to any one who has been misled into
doing me wrong.” We therefore take plea
sure in presenting his statement to our
readers:
My Dear : Mrs. Dickens and I have
lived unhappily together for many years.
Hardly any one who has known us in
timately can lail to have known that we
are, in all respects of character and tem
perament, wonderfully unsuited to each
other. I suppose that no two people, not
vicious in themselves, ever were joined to
gether who had greater difficulty in under
standing one another, or who had less in
common. An attached woman servant
(more friend to both of us than a servant),
who lived with ns sixteen years, and is
now married, and who was and still is in
Mrs. Dickens’ confidence and mine, who
had the closest familiar experience of this
unhappiness in London, in the country, in
France, in Italy, wherever we have been,
year after year, month after month, week
after week, day after day, will bear testi
mony to this.
Nothing lias, on many occasions, stood
between us and a separation but Mrs. Dick
ens’ sister, Georgine Hogarth. From the
age of fifteen she has devoted herself to
our house and children. She has been
their playmate, nurse, instructress, friend,
protectress, adviser and companion. In
the manly consideration toward Mrs. Dick
ens which I owe to my wife, 1 will merely
remark of her that the peculiarity of her
character has thrown all the care of the
children on some one else. I do not know—
I cannot by any stretch of fancy imagine—
what would have become of them but for
this aunt, who has grown up with them, to
whom they are devoted, and who has sacri
ficed the best part of her youth and life to
them.
She has remonstrated, reasoned, suffered
and toiled, and come again, to prevent a
separation between Mrs. Dickens and me.
Mrs. Dickens lias often expressed to her
her sense of her affectionate care and de
votion in the house—never more strongly
than within the last twelve months.
For some years past Mrs. Dickens has
been in the habit of representing to me
that it would be better for her to go away
and live apart; that her always increasing
estrangement made a mental disorder,
under which she sometimes labors ; more,
that she felt herself unfit for the life she
had to lead as my wife, and that she
would be far better away. I have uni
formly replied that she must bear our mis
fortune and fight the fight out to the end ;
that the children were the first considera
tion, and that I feared tlieV must bind us
together “ in appearance.”
At length, within these three weeks, it
was suggested to me by Foster, that even
for their sakes it would surely be belter to
reconstruct and rearrange the unhappy
home. I empowered him to treat with Mrs.
Dickens as the friend of both of us for one
and twenty years. Mrs. Dickens wished to
add, on her part, Mark Lemon, and did so.
On Saturday last Lemon wrote to Foster
that Mrs. Dickens “ gratefully and thank
fully accepted” the terms I proposed to
her. Os the pecuniary part of them, I will
only say that I believe they are as generous
as if Mi s. Dickens were a lady of distinc
tion find Ia man of fortune. The remain
ing parts of them are easily described—my
eldest boy to live with Mrs. Dickens and to
take care of her ; my eldest girl to keep my
house; both my girls and all my children
but the eldest son to live with me in con
tinued companionship of their aunt Geor
gine, for whom they have all the tenderest
affectious that T have ever seen among
young people, and who has a higher claim
(as I have often declared for many years)
upon my affection, respect and gratitude,
than anybody in this world.
I hope that no one who may become
acquainted with what I write here can pos
sibly be so cruel and unjust as to put any
misconstruction on our separation, so far.
My elder children all understand it per
fectly, and all accept it as inevitable.
There is not a shadow of doubt or con
cealment among ns. My eldest son aud I
are one as to it all.
Two wicked persons, who should have
spoken very different of me, in considera
tion of earned respect and gratitude, have
(us I am told, aud, indeed, to my personal
knowledge,) coupled with this separation
the name of a young lady for whom I have
a great attachment and regard. I will not
repeat the name—l honor it too much.—
Upon my soul aud honor, there is not on
this earth a more virtuous and spotless
creature than that young lady. I know
her to be innocent and pure, and as good
as my own daughters.
Further, I am quite sure that Mrs.
Dickens, having received this assurance
from me, must now believe it, in the respect
I know her to have for me, aud in the per
fect confidence I know her, in her better
moments, to repose in iny truthfulness.
On this head, again, there is not a shadow
of doubt or concealment between my chil
dren and me. All is open and plain among
us, as though we were brothers and sisters.
They are perfectly certain that I would
not deceive them, and the confidence among
us is without a fear. C. D.
East Tennessee Crops. —The Athens
Post says of the corn, pork and beef pros
pects iu East Tennessee :
“ Our information leads us to believe
that a full half crop will be gathered;
and a ‘ half crop ’ in East Tennessee means
a good deal. It’s a mighty hard country
to exhaust. Even after contending armies
had alternately swept it through three
dreadful years, from the hills of Carter to
the waters of Chattanooga creek, if One
would take the trouble .to look round,
somebody could always be found who
had a little produce to spare. Some few
fanners may . not have sufllcient for all
their stock and for other wants, but they
have sense enough to sell their more fortu
nate neighbors who have a surplus of corn,
and by that means all the hogs and cattle
will be fattened, and there is a large num
ber of them. There is always plenty in
Egypt when there is famine in Palestine.
Let our friends south of us wait a while.
We propose to send them a good deal of
wheat, some corn, and bacon enough to
grease Georgia from the mountains to the
seaboard.”
The failure of Legrand Lockwood, the
noted New York banker, is everywhere re
gretted, and a host of friends offer him as
sistance. His house and grounds at Norwalk,
Conn., are valued in their incomplete state,
at SBOO,OOO, and it was his intention to ex
pend more than a million upon them. The
owner’s chamber is furnished with elabor
ately inlaid rosewood, the bedstead canopied
with green forming a framework of gold
and jet. Attached are a dressing-room
and an oratory, the latter frescoed in imi
tation of fluted white satin, the windows
hang with Persian fabrics, and the ceiling
in rose drab and gold with a dome of sky
blue studded with stars.
Textile Fabrics from Glass.— At an
industrial exhibition in Vienna anew pro
duct of art is to be seen, consisting of
various articles of spun glass, such as
head-dresses, ribbons, bracelets, cuffs, col
lars, watch chains, ostrich feathers and the
like. They are the product of a Parisian
manufacturer. The threads are reported to
be as line as a spider’s web and as strong
as wool, but more beautiful in appearance.
The thread may be used for knitting or
sewing.

the science of medicine has as yet developed to suc-
I cessfu'ly combat the most prevalent diseases incident
to a billious or malarious climate. It is the most
perfect an'.i-piriodic—always Breaking the Chill in
three or lour doses; hut better than that or all else,
and what reodtrs it the most efficient and valuable
: compound extant, is the universally conceded fact
that it leaves the patient in better health than before
the attack, with no puffing up of the skin, no buzzing
In the head, no deafness, no impaired vision, tut a
clear head, a transparent Bkin, a bright eye, an elastic
step and buoyant health.
It eliminates disease from the system by dissipating
engorgements of the secretions, exciting the liver to
healthy action and guying the pancreatic and hepatic
juices their normal condition and healthy flow.
It is a better preventive than cure, and if people
could be prevailed upon to take it, in say half doses
three times a diy, during the chilly reason, they
would have periect immunity from chills and all the
train of concomitant diseases; but wlio, except the
very prudent, will take medicine before they’ are sick ?
