THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1856. Hon. J. E. Ward of Savannah. The compliment paid to this gentleman, by the Democratic National Convention, now in session, at Cincinnati, in making bim its chief presiding officer, is a source of great gratifica tion, we may confidently, we think, assert, to the whole people of Georgia. 1 hat it is so to his political and personal friends, it is hardly necessary for us to assert. We feel, too, that the choice of a gentleman from Georgia to pre. side over the deliberations of a Convention so imposing in its character ,— whether it bo viewed as a body iu which talent and patriotism of the highest order are to be found, or as a highly respectable body, representing a great political | party ; is a compliment to the “ Empire State | of South,” her appreciation of which she will, | in November next, demonstrate at the polls, i Mr. Ward, wo feel confident, will make a popular aud able presiding officer. In this respect, the choice of the Convention has been a fortunate one. As the presiding officer of one branch of the Legislature of our State, he displayed all the qualifications required for the ! L dispatch of business, and the maintenance of ■ order ; aud, while courteous in demeanor, he, ■ also displayed a firmness of purpose, anil a' f promptness iu deciding questions ot order, that w will doubtless again be displac ed at Cincinnati. [ There may be in the Convention gentlemen of greater experience, bnt there are few I indeed who would honor the station occupied , by Mr. Ward, more than himself. «*a> Lieut.

Our Telegraphic Dispatches. We are indebted, and so are onr readers, to | the“AUGUSTA, ATLANTA ANDNASII | VILLE TELEGRAPH LINE,” for the proceedings of the Cincinnati Convention, which, for the past two days, appeared in our columns, and which also appears to day. This line of Telegraph is now under the man agement of one of the first telegraphic operators in the United States ; aud he is making it em phatically a lino of incalculable value to the press and people of this and’the adjacent States. But a short time ago, we were indebted here to the Augusta Press, mainly, for all items of telegraphic news. Now we are f.ee from that state of bondage, and can furnish our readers in upper and middle Georgia, with the news, at least twelve hours in advance of the Augusta press. We have too another ad .antage in this that the line to which we refer, can be relied on in every respect; and this is no unim portant, but a very important consideration with all who have anything to do with telegraphic operations. But as we design to refer to this Telegraph Line at a future time, we refrain from saying more at present. .Letting of. Contracts on the Lu natic Asylum. Quite a number of Mechanics from different sections of the State, visited our city last week to put in their bids for the unfinished work, advertised by Messrs. Stoll and Fay, Archi tects, on the Lunatic Asylum. The contracts were awarded to the fol lowing gentlemen, their bids being the low est. The Carpenter and Joiner work, to Messrs. Thompson of Americus and Knight of Ma con. The Plastering to Mr. Russell of Savan nah. The Painting and Glazing to Mr. Oliver of Athens. The stone work &c., to Mr. Alexander of Hancock county.

We had the pleasure on Wednesday last, to pay a Hying visitjo Atlanta, and while there to listen to a lecture by Dr. A. Means, and one by Dr. 11. W. Brown, delivered to the Medical Class of the Atlanta College. Both these gen tlemen are well skilled in the respective de partments which they occupy in the Institution and are highly gifted in those faculties which constitute a good and successful leturer. This Institution has just entered upon the second year of its existence, and with the prestige of former success, bids fair to make rapid strides in its onward march to usefulness and fame.— The number of students now reaches nearly one hundred and is daily increasing. It is confi dently expected, that the class during the pres ent term, will reach one hundred and twenty five or thirty. This rapid growth is unprece dented in the history of Medical Inssitutious iu the South, and it should be the object of desire with every true Southerner, that it should goon “prospering and to prosper.” It is the only Institution iu the State which gives a summer course of lectures, aud affords facilities to the young Esculapiuns which heretofore they could only enjoy by crossing Mason & Dixon's line. The Faculty is an able one, composed of prac tical men, who are from experience, familiar with diseases peculiar to our climate, and with the most successful mode of treating them.— [Em. State. Remedy for Indigestion.—A friend nas handed to us for publication, the annexed rem edy for indigestion, a complaint which is so prevalent in this country. It was communica ted to him by a gentleman in Great Britain, who says in his letter on the subject .- “Having suffered much from indigestion, 1 send you the remedy to relieve you. It arises by rejecting too large a portion of the phos phates of lime and maguesiaeoutained in the bran iu our bread: being quite sure that our all wise Creator, in giving us wheat for our : food I to support our frames, placed in it every neces sary constituent for the health of man. When ■ therefore, you derive benefit from it, please to i make it known to our brethren iu America. Boil hah a pint of white bread wheat three hours, in a quart of water, or a little more if necessary. Drink half a pint of the liquid twice or thrice in a week, and the effect will soon b§ perceived I From the St. Louis Republican, of Tuesday. Still Later from Kansas. The s.teamer Star of the West arrived yes terday from the Missouri, bringing us a num ber of papers and extras fro a offices iu that region, referring mainly to events of recent oc currence in Lawrence aid thereabouts. We have also seen Judge Fain, who acted as U. 8 Deputy Marshal and as Deputy Sheriff, in Lawrence, and who has given us some addi tional items of news. Tho Judge is on his way to Georgia, for his family, intending to return immediately to Kansas, to take up his perman ent residence in Lecompton. According to the reports before us. early on Wednesday morning, the U. 8. Marshal, with the men who had obeyed his proclamation call ing for aid to assist in the execution ot certain writs in his hands, took possession of the Mound in front of Lawrence. They numbered from four hundred to five hundred men. Between ten and eleven o’clock the Marshal sent his Deputy, John Fain, into the town with with a posse of eight men to execute ths writs. They made four arrests, returned and delivered the prisoners to the Marshall and he dismissed his force. The Lawrence people were disposed to exult over this result, declaring that they did not intend to resist his authority, although Reeder had sent them the example of contem ning it and that of the U. S. Judge of the Le compton District. But when Marshal Donald" son had performed his duty, Sheriff Jones, who had recovered from the wound received in Hie attempt to assasinate him in Lawrence, ap peared on the scene, and summoned the same men to aid him in a like service. He took about twenty men with him, and rode into Law rence. He stopped in front of the Free State Hotel—fitted up, as is well known, as a forti fication—and, calling for Gen. Pomeroy, de mand from him all the Sharpe's rifles and pie ces of artillery about the fort or hotel, giving him five minutes to deaide whether lie would surrender them or not, saying that he desired to effect this purpose peaceably and quietly.— Pomeroy having consulted with others, agreed to deliver up the arms, and fifteen minutes furth er time was allowed to attack them in the Col. Eldridge, who keeps the hotel, was then requested by Sheriff Jones to move his furni ture from the building, giving him two hours to do it in. But this he refused to do, and the posse entered and removed the most of the fur niture into the street. The artillery was then placed in front of the hotel, and fired upon it until the walls began to fall, when fire was put to it and it was left in ruins. The printing materials of the Herald of Free dom office, and of the Kansas Free State office, were then taken and thrown into the river. It was the express order of Sheriff J ones, that no private property should be injured, and partic ularly that Gov. Robinson’s house should not be touched, but it became impossible to res train the crowd, and the presses, &c., were des troyed ; and after a portion of the posse had left town, Robinson’s house was fired, put out, and again set on fire and burned down. It wa a two story frame. This was the extent of the damage to property. One man who was ob served attempting to make his escape from a hoise, during the heat of excitement, was fired upon and killed, and a pro-slavery man was dangerously injured by the falling of a brick from the hotel walls. Another pro-slavery man was accidently shot, bnt he will probably get well. Sheriff Jones gave Gen. I’omeroy a receipt for all the rifles and cannon suraeadered by him to the authorities of Douglas county. Jacob Branson, whose name has figured a good deal in the affairs of Kansas, was arres ted on the I9th by Deputy Sheriff Fain, and four others. He was taken at his house. He threatened to shoot the officers, and put a rifle through the crack of the house, but did not fire. His wife opened one of the doors, with a pistol in each hand, and warned them not to approach a step nearer ; but the trigger w-as not pulled. Finally, Bronson agreed to sur render. The evening before Lawrence was entered, a man was killed at Bronson’s bridge. He was hailed by the picket guard—refused to answer, started to run, and was fired upon and shot in the back. The same evening two of the picket guard were out about one mile from Lawrenee ; they were met by five men from the town —were asked if they belonged to the Pro-Slavery party and on answering that they did not, they were filed upon, one of them receiving a shot in the arm—the other shot one of the assailants in the head—and both of them then escaped. Gov. Shannon, it was understood, would request that 100 of the regular troops should be stationed in Lawrence, 100 in Topeka, and and 100 at Osawatomie. Sheriff Jones had some writs to serve at Topeka, aud it was re ported that about 100 of the malcontents had assembled at the Big Spring, to give him bat tle, but, after the occurrence at Lawrence, this will hardly be done. At Osawatomie Judge Cato, of the District Court, had been preven ted from holding bis Court, by threats of vio lence to the Grand Jury by the Free States men. and this preeantion was deemed necessa ry- There were about three hundred citizens of Lawrence still in town on Wednesday, and many of them were greatly exasperated at their leaders, because they had deserted in the hour of their difficulties, and they vowed that they would not again be found in resistance to the laws of the Territory. A good many were passengers on the Star of the West, returning to the East. Wood, one of the mischief makers in Kansas is said to have fled to Cleaveland, Ohio. Noth ing was known of Breeder. An extra from the office of the Westport Bor der Times, dated on the 23d., 10 a. m., furnishes some other reports, obtained from the corres- S indent of the New York Herald. Col. G. D. rewerton. The extra says: Col.-’Brewerton left Behan's on the Wark arusa.Jast night, about seven o'clock. Capt. Pate scommand of thirty men is there. A run ner came in from’Franklin, who stated tha about two hundred Abolitionists, armed with Sharp’s rifles, were collecting in Lawrence, and had attempted toshoot'Mr. Cox, who was re turning to his'home, in'-Lawrence, with his wife and child ; he thinking that thewar was over. Col. Brewerton conversed with Mr. Cox, at Bohan's where he bad fled for protection : he confirmed the report, and said that as he ‘ was entering Lawrence with his wife and child, j in a buggy, he was attacked by about two liun I dred Abolition outlaws, armed with Sharp’s i rifles, which they aimed at him; and while he i ■ was debating what to do, two young men came | I to him and begged him for God s sake to save himself and family by flight, lie turned to leave, when he was fired upon with a Sharp's rifles and a six shooter, the balls grazing 11= wife’s head. He then fled to Behan's. I Dr. Bratton is rapidly recovering. j Mr. Behan is about to move his family—he ; thinks it dangerous to remain longer at bis ‘ home. The Committee of Investigation was still in session at Fort Leavenworth. The Black Re- ■ publicans have published the testimony on their side. Letter? rom Gen. Cass. The subjoined letter from Gen. Cass was i read at the Walker meeting held at New- York j on Friday evening last : Washington, May 21. I Sir : Your telegraphic despatch inviting i me to attend the meeting in the Park on Fri day evening has just reached me. I cannot be ; there in person, but my feelings aud sympathies are with you in this demonstration of public satisfaction at the wise and just measure of the administration by which the existing govern- : ment of Nicaragua is recognised, and will be : encouraged to go on with its good work. I: trust it will meet the cordial appropriation of j the American people. It cannot fail to do so ■ if they are true to the faith of their fathers.— I Since the commencement of our national ex- i istence it has been our principle to consider ■ every foreign government a ligitimate one I which is received as such in its own country.— This is the condition of the present rulers of Nicaragua, and it is no less our duty, than it ought to be our desire, to lend them the moral i support they can derive from our recognition. I I am free to confess that the heroic effort of our countrymen in Nicaragua excites my admira tion, while it engages all my solicituce. lam not to be deterred from the expressions of these feelings by sneers, or reproaches, or hard words He whs does not sympathize with such an en terprise has little in common with me. The dificulties which General Walker has encoun tered and overcome will place his name high on the roll of the dist’nguished men of his age. He has conciliated the people he went to aid the government of which he makes part is per forming its functions without opposition, and internal tranquility marks the wisdom of its policy. That magnificieut religion, for which God has done so much and man so little needs some renovating process, some transfusion by which a new light may be impart 'd to it.— Our countrymen will plant there the seeds of our institutions, and God grant that they may grow up into an abundant harvest of industry, enterprise, and prosperity. A new day, I hope is opening upon the States of Central America. If we are true to our duty they wiil soon be freed from all danger of European interference, and will have a security in their own power against the ambitious designs of England far better than Clayion Bulwer treaties, or any other diplomatic machinery by which a spirit of aggression is sought to be concealed till cir cumstances are ready for active operation. I am, sir. respectfullv. your obedient servant. LEWIS CASS. Governor Wise on Bachelors.—Since it seems to be generally understood that Mr. Buc hannan is the first choice of Governor Wise for the succession, some of our Wuig friends are having a bit of fun at his e pense. They charge him with inconsistency, and adduce in proof the extract below, from a speech of his in Congress: “But Mr. Speaker, there is a certain class of men, who, put them where you will, in any sit uation in life, will piddle—l mean old batehe lors. I will never, henceforth, support any man for the Presidency who will appoint a bachelor to any office of honor or profit, and especially of responsibility. An old bachelor, sir, is an old withered fig-tree—he is a vis in ertiae 1 Old bachelors are too near a kin to old maids!” We have no doubt the ladies think as Gov ernor Wise did. The reader is doubtless informed of the fact that, since the expulsion of the Mormons from Nauvoo, Illinois, the site of that town has fallen into the occupation of Mons. Cabet. who at the head of a body of French Socialists, en titled the Icarian Colony, has for a few years past been endeavoring to put into practice there the principles of communism. For some time they got on only passably well; but at length the apple of discord has rolled in and the community become so divided that, whilst Cabet himself and a minority of the colonis.s are understood to advocate immigration from France, a majority opposes such a course, and, directly warns their foreign bretberu against risking the chances of much discomfort and suffering, owing to the divided cordition of the colony. tejy The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, of29th May, says I noticed to-day that your Senators and Re presentatives were all in their seats, with the exception of Colonel Orr. who has been con fined to his bed for some days past by a severe attack of neuralgia. There.have been exaggerated reports of the condition of Senator Sumner, but it is general ly understoodtthey are circulated merely for political effect. 'lt is stated that Dr. Boyle, his physician, has'been dismissed because of his scepticism as to the extent of his injuries. From Morris Willis' Home Journal. The Story of a King.

Trust in thyself and people— In fines andjirisons less— To make all libels harmless, Five Freedom to the Press!" Wonderful Instance of Sagacity,-—We hear, says the Sandusky Register, of an instance of sagacity practised by the elephant attach ed to Herr Driesbach’s Menagerie, which de serves record. Coming into N ewark, Ohio last Saturday, the elephant’s keeper fell in a fit from his horse. The whole menagerie im mediately came to a halt, and some members of the company went forward to pick up the man. But the elephant would not allow any person to approach the senseless form of his> keeper. Taking him up with his trunk softly he would place him on his horse, but finding that the man was senseless, he laid him on the ground and kept watch over him. Many mem bers of the menagerie tried to soothe the faith ful elephant, who had now become furious at the supposed death of his master, but to no purpose, and there the man lay watched by the sagacious animal. After laying in this condi tion fur some time, a physician, who had been sent for, arrived, and yet the elephant would allow no one to approach. At length the keeper became so far conscious as to commaad the elephant to let the physician coma Ynear, aud the animal was docile and obedient in a moment, and the keeper was properly cared for, the elephant, all the while, expressing the I utmost anxiety for the sick man. What else was this but the exercise of a human intelligence, in which pity and affection and reason were all undoubtedly blended ? We can almost believe that that animal, at least, has something of a soul, if ’tis reason which marks the presence of the immortal spark. “Ion” of the Baltimore Sun, writing < from Washington City, May 30th, says ; J7r. Crampton was informed on Monday of I his dismissal and that of the three Consuls; | but, for commercial reasons, it was agreed be tween Mr. Crampton and Mr. Marcy that the i fact should be kept back from the business I community of New Y ork till after the sailing of the Asia, which would convey out the dis patches both of .47r. Crampton aud Mr. Marcy | on the subject. It was thought that if the fact' should be announced on Monday, Wall street' would be thrown into an unnecessary commo-' lion, and the most gloomy reports be sent to I Europe in regard to business affairs. The bu-1 sincss nr ti will now have three days prior to the sailing of the next packet to recover from their panic, the commercial advices sent out will l>e of a favorable tenor. St. Louts. Nay JU. The correspondent of the Republican of this city, says that eight pro-slavery cottiers at Po- j tawatomie Creek had been killed by an organ- ■ ■zed band of free State men.

An affair, which was chock-full of dramatic I effect and incident, and which contained as much I genuine romance as a library of “yallarkivered” i novels, highly concentrated, came off, or rather I‘ came to hand,” yesterday. It seems that a | certain young female, who shall of course, be ; nameless, “loved not wisely but too well,” aud the mother of the damsel, becoming acquainted ' with the real position of things, sought out the ' trouble, and insisted upon' his marrying her j daughter. This the youth most ungallantly re fused to do, aud the mother, without consulting ■ her daughter, bad the unfaithful swain arrest ed and taken before Aiderman Clements. The young lady, upon hearing of theextrme meas ures to which her parent had resorted, became ' frantic with rage aud mortification, and she i forthwith proceeded to make arrangements for | shuffling off this mortal coil, and she actually I hung herself. Fortunately, she was discovered . before it was too late, and cut down iu time to save her life. The incident having come to the cars of her betrayer, his stubboruess yielded at once. He was unable to withstand this last strong evidence of devotion and despair, aud he consented to be married. The ceremony was performed by Aiderman Clements, and the twain , found themselves in a noose which we trust will i prove a more comfortable one than that by ' which the lady sought to rid herself of her troubles.—Philad. Bulletin, May 45. Mr. Brooks and Mr. Sumner. Some persons are impressed with the opinion' that as the committee of the House have re commended the expulsion of Mr. Brooks, the report will be received, and Mr. Brooks be ex pelled. The power to expel, is a different mat ter entirely from the power to recommend an expulsion. A majority of the committee may recommend and a majority of the House may desire to expel a member, but it requires a ma jority of two-thirds io expel. The first article of the fifth section of the Constitution of the United States, says, “either House of Congress may, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.” Under no circumstances do we believe, this power can be obtained in the House of Congress. Even if it were exercised, the Congressional district, in South Carolina, which Mr. Brooks represents, would immediately re turn him to his seat. So the Black Republi cans have but little hope of gotting*rid of Mr. Brooks.— Aug. Const. The Courtesies of Business Life.—Busi ness men who lay in a fair stock of civility, will find it as good an investmest to draw, please, and retain custom, as they can make. The small civilities and courtesies of life are too of ten neglected by them. Wc Lave been taunted as a nation of shopkeepers, who, in our haste to be rich, forget not only proprieties, but moralities ; we have been charged with idola try, worshipping the almighty dollar, and the conduct of some has given color to the charge. Let not the reproach longer remain. A nation immersed in trade need not, necessarily, be for getful of the requirements of honor, uprightness, and truth. A man in trade need not be boor, nor is he in anywise exonerated from extending toward his customers the same sauvities he would extend to a guest in his house, to a stran ger he is introduced to in company. He need not indulge informal etiquette and pompous civilities, for there is no heart in such a manner; but in the easy genial habits which speak a kindly feeling and claim n reciprocating respect. Hints to Railroad Travellers. —When you enter the cars, take special pains to get the best seat near the stove. If you find there is a prospect of a rush for seats, try the effect of fcrce to crowd your way at the expense of la dies in your rear. If you have a carpet bag, give that a place by your side, that you may not be troubled by having another person near you. If you find a lady sitting near you who has weak lungs, or is in delicate health, be sure to raise the window, persist in your right to en joy the air if you please. Or should a lady be found standiag in the passage who happened in at some way-station, keep your seat, for you paid for it, and strengthen your purpose with the conclusion, that people have no right to get into a car, when all the seats are occupied. When ladies are seated near you, and you are iu the habit of enjoying the juicy quid, be sure to rnalre a decided impression upon the silks in your vicinity, and thereby give full proof of your Americanism. Ifyoufindit convenient to intersperse your conversation with an occa sional oath, or to raise your voice above the din of cars and locomotive, you will find thrse who will prove attentive listeners. In a word, look out for self: stand for your rights ; this is a free country, and we, the people, are all sore-' reigns.— Providence Transcript.

It is a well known fact that a large propor tion of the otto of roses, whith is used in Eu rope and America, is manufactured in Turkey ; and we are confident that a brief description of the process of manufacture will be apprecia ted and approved, at least by the lady readers of our paper. We compile the prescription from an interesting article which recently ap peared in Hunt’s Merchant Magazine. The principal seat of the manufacture is in the district of Hassanlik, which comprises about thirty six villages, and is situated in Bul garia, about two hundred miles north west of Constantinople. This district is devoted al most entirely to the cultivation of roses, and during the season of harvesting, which is from the first of May to the middle of June, the country, for miles beyond the borders of the district, is redolent with the odor of roses.— The cultivation of tho rose and the extrac tion of the oil, occupy nearly all the time of the people. In the distillation of the roses, the water which comes off is successively re distill ed, and finally the oil, being the Tightest, rise to the top and is skimmed off. It is limpid, with a tinge of orange color. It is said to fake three hundred thousand roses to yield one oz of oil. This oil is brought to Constantinople in hermetically sealed copper vessels, varying in size from those capnple of bolding on ounce to those which hold seven pounds—so that, at the regular market price ($6 an oz.), one of the copper cases may be worth SSOO. The oil is worth six times its weight in silver. The ordi nary amount of oil produced in Hassanlik is a ittlc less than 3000 pounds. At Constantino ple the oil is put up in gilt bottles, manufac tured expre sly for the purpose iu Bohemia.— The rose water which remains from the distil ation after the oil has been skimmed off, is sold for eight or ten cents a quart, and is used by the Greeks and Armenians on all festival occasions. It has been stated that the otto is worth in the land of its manufacture six dollars an ounce and it is frequently sold here for a considerably less amount! This apparent inctjpsistency is owing to the fact that the oil is susceptible of an extraordinary degree of adulteration. It was formerly mixed with sandal wood oil, which is valued at about one twelfth as much as the otto of roses. It is much less liquid and flow ing than the oil of roses. Os late years, however, a new oil has been ntroduced to dilute oil of roses and render it less overpowering—it is brought by the Arabs from Mecca, and is called by them “Shepherd’s Perfume.” It is extracted from a kind of geran ium, at a cost of two dollars per pound, or one thirty sixth the price of otto of roses. Both on account of its cheapness, a certain similar! ty of odor, aud its likeness in color and weight to otto of roses, no other oil is so well adapted to mix with it and reduce its strength. In the common oil of roses, found in the shops, there is probably fifty per cent, of foreign oils; and the diffusibility of its aroma is such, that it may receive without perceivable depreciation, •ii the opinion of ordinary judges, eighty per ‘cent, of foreign oils; and the diffusibility of its aroma is such, that it may receive without perceivable depreciation, in the opinion of or dinary judges, eighty per cent, of pure foreign oils—"especially of the oil of geranium. There are individuals iu Constantinople whose profession is to test the quality of otto of roses, and this they arc able to do with great accuracy, relying chiefly on their sense of smell. If a piece of white paper be mois tened with pure otto of roses, the oil wil evapor ate, leaving no trace but a marked perfume.— If it is a mixed oil, a stain will be left on the paper, without odor. America is probably a larger consumer of otto of rose than any coun try of an equal population. But the larger portion of the importation is sold to snuff man factners. to scent therewith their best snuffs. 4®?" Senator Sumner is said to be about six foot in height and to weigh nearly 200 pounds
