RE-OPENING THE SLAVE TRADE. The Augusta Dispatch and other ultra jour nals are commentig with eaitch severity upon an article in the Richm-mridI Eii.tinirer in oppiu) tion to re-opening the save tr.ide, ia wirich, anong other things, th:t paper sas: "We can see t .l whatev.-r to b.3 necon plished by the contin:,c l ienIion of thiiqutes tion. If the cott.-v State4 are determiied to revive the slave Lr.ide-, :nd thu to detry the value of slamcry in eery m'nrufilent !,rotein! State, it -will temonstrate a selfh/ness <f /which we have belieced Son:hecrn States inenpole. If a dissolution of the Union is to be tollowed by the revival of the slave trade, Virginia had better consider whether the South of the Northerot con. fcderacy would not be jhr more prfi-ruble f/ir her than the North (fte Suthcrn confderacy.". Now, we countbasi inability to discover treason to the princip-s uf the South in this somewhat bold position of the Eniquirer. It meets a reck lessness of agitation that should be killed ol' be fore further damige is inflicted upon that unity of sentiment now so happily prevailing at the South. Why agitate longer? No plan has been proposed toacconplish the object suggested-no p lan can be d4-vised. The Constitution and aws art-opposed to it. Yon cannot repeal or modify them. Not only is it impossible, under the laws, to introduce iarev, but It is equally so as.to African apprenticas. That has been de termined by the law oti. ers of an Administration as friendly'to the S.,uth, confessedly, as we have ever had. Surely it wiili not be proposed to re sort to surreptitious means. With custom houses in the hands of Oflicials sworn not to wink at illicit traflie-with revenue cutters .long our coast, watching every bay and practicable harbor -to say nothing of our cruisers and those of other nations-capital would never adventure risk so great to property and honor. But, be sides all this, the people among whom it is pro posed to introduce these slaves or apprenticesdo not want them-are opposed to the whole scheme -and will continue their opposition. The whole affair was regarded from the first as an imprae ticability, and was started for political effect. It failed as to that, and we beg the press not to make it a firebrand to consume the ligaments that bind in brotherhood the Sjtztheru people. Caroina Spartan. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSRIP ARIEL.

HIUDGINS. Williamsaton, S. C., June 21, 1858. Pr.zastxrav xx WVAsirox.-The States says: "On Satturday night last, a youngr man named Fatucett was married, on Maryland Ave nue, and while the occasion was being celebra ted by a few gathered friends, some ten or twelve gentlemen came in, uninvited, and with charac teristic playfulness struck the g-ooma over thme head with a slung shot; and, blowing out -the lights, proceeded to make merry after their own fasshion, by breang the furniture and frighten ing the ladies present. After remaining as long as they chose, they retired outside, where- they remained till about 2 o'clock a. in., throwing oc casional stones and brickbants at the house. It is said the groom knows the captain (?) or this pleasant party, but having a due regari for his life in hit new domestic relation, rofuses to inform oa him." THE CooLtE MARKIET IN CUnA.-The Havana correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune writes: "The Coolie laborers nrc arriving here at pre sent in greater numbers than the demand; the consequence is that prices have fallen from twenty-two to ten ounces each, this being but little more than their actual cost to land them. th continuance of the slave trade, and the large number of biozales recently imported, having ex ercised a depressing intinence on the market; Btill the different importers are working hatrd at Madrid to get an extension of the period granted by thme home government for introducing them. This term expires at the end of the year, but as a large purse has been made up to carry the measure, vessels are being daily dispatched from this and American ports, for further cargoes, in anticipation of the successful issue of the peti tion. General Concha is one of thu . firmest -aboettors of the Asiatic system, commingled with the usual proportion of African." TnE FLOOD AT CAuo.-It appears the dlamage dane by the flood at Cairo, Ill., is far less thtan at first reported.

We very much regret to learn that a most unpleas ant and almost fatal affray occured In Hamburg on Saturdamy last between Maj. Gaunsan and his son JToux GAIJ'DNsa and Mr. B. L. HA LL[, three of our most valued and respected citizens. A friend furnishes us with the following particulars of this sad affair, which we publish as given: " There emane near being a fatal rencounter here on Saturday afternuoon. It seems that there was a difli culty betwun Mr. S. W. Ganonsu and Mr. 13. L. HALL -and Mr. HALL. had knocked Mr. Uannmarmn down, when Joux Uiuosmut drew a "Repeater" and shot HALL. four or livibtimes, giving him as many wounds -fortunately none of themi are thought to be dan gerous. It is a miraceo that Mr. HALIL was not killed upon the spot as the parties were separated but a few feet when the shots were fired." A MELANCHOLY SUICIDE. On Monday the 14th inst., Mr. WxsrL.Yv WVare, of this District, shot himself with a' shot-gun, caus ing instantaneous death. Hie must have placed the muzzle of the gun in his mouth and pulled the trig ger with his toe, as he had one shoe off. The load mutilated the mouth In a frightful manner and lodged in the back of the head. The jury of inquest, we understand, ware clearly convinced that it was very evidently a case of intentional suicide, and rendered their virdict accordingly. Mr. Waysan was an interesting young man, having just attained his twenty-first year with bright hopes and glowing prospects ahead-of highly esteemed and worthy parentage, and being of an unassuming, courteous and kind disposition was well beloved by~ a large circe of friends. With his afilicted relatives we sympathise in their sad bereavement. TEE CELEBRATION AT GRANITEVILLE. Our good friends of this flourishing little Town, intend celebrating the Fourth in quite a becoming manner. A large barbeue will be given, to which the District is invited. An address will he delivered, we are informed, by M. W. GAav, Esq., who has been appointed Orator of the Day. Speeches from-other gentlemen may be expected. A great time is expected. And we hope to be there. DR. T. D. MATHEWS. This distinguished gentleman proposes to give Lec tures in this Village, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, on the French Revolution. Dr. Mavuaws comes with the highest recommendations as being a Lecturer of much "solid learning, ripe culture, and manly vigor ;" and the Rev. Mr. MonscoeKc, a celebra ted Divine of this State, in his testimonia~J, says, in speaking of his lectures, " They are written in an easy, flowing style, and while sufficiently ornate to gratify the taste of the most fastidious Rhetorical Professor, they possess a simplicity that attracts even thechildren of an audience." His lectures everywhere are highly spoken of, and represented as being mort instructive and interesting. We hope our citizens will turn out en masse to hear this certainly meritorious gentleman. Fur further particulars, see circulars. "THE PRINTER." Is a beautiful " Monthly," devoted to the interests of the " Art preservative of all Arts." The first nnm her of Vol. 1, is received.

Address "Hiuxny & Huxaxovos, No. 1, Spruce Street, New York." TOMATOES FOR THE EDITOR. On Tuesday evening of last week, the Editor re eived from Mr. J. H. M., of this vicinity, a basket of fine Tomatoes, which we I esumin were properly appreciated and dispensed with by that epicurean gentleman. On last Saturday ire received another basket from the same source, and for which the donor will please accept our thanks. They were of the large variety, fully ripe, juicy and altogether excel. lent-and enough for a good mess. BISHOP DAVIS. The Right Reverend TuommAs F. D.tvza, D. D., Protestant Episcopal Bishopi of this Diocese, is, we regret to learn, (says the- Charleston .leery) so sadly afflicted by nervous affection of the eyes, that his sight is partly destroyed and-almost entirely des paired of. Next week he purposes leaving this coun-i try by a sailing vessel for Europe, in the hope of obtaining there some relief from his sad affliction. PUBLiC DOCS. We rctnrn thanks to Senator J. H[.

MINISTER TO ENGLAND.* It was rumored in Washington on Thursday last, that Judge Roosevelt, of New York, had been ap pointod Ministerio England. pm The July No. of the Southern Culticator ia' DAYTON'S EXHAUSTER. Mr. G. L. Px;, Agent, the man who keeps up with all the important improvements of the age, has just received a number of Dayton's Exhausters, which we consider an invaluable requisite to all who wish to put up and preserve Fruits, Vegetables, &e., in their natural state. 'The " Exchalttier" is a most simplo invention, easily underitood and managed, and one that cannot fail to answer the purpose for which it wA intended, viz: the removing of ill air from the can or jar that would otherwise come In contact with the Fruit or other article desired to be preserved. It is certainly a complete arrangement, and just the thing that every good housewife in the land ought to be in possession of. And we are of the opinion that any of the "lords of creation" who fail to supply the "gude wife" with the " Exhauster" and a dozen or two of the CalN*, is a close listed fellow, not worthy of such delicaeies, (either now or in the dead of win ter) as nice Peaches, Plums. Pears, Cherries, Black berries, Green Corn, Pons, beans, Tomatoes, &c., &c., which, with the aid or the E.luatater, can be kept for mouths, in perfect freshness'. Those in want of the "E.cha ater" and Cats should call on Mr. P. at an early day, as they are going off in a hurry. - THE CENTRAL *110USE. The Editor of the Anderson Gurette has lately been to Williamston, and notices the Central House in a most favorable manner, as follows: " On a recent visit to these Springe, we were enter tained in a hospitable manner hy that popular and courteous gentleman, It. R. iudgins, Esq., proprietor and superintentlant of the "Central House"-a new building which Mr. H. has erected and furnished in excellent style. Added to the comfort and conveni eivee of thisl'ouse, the table will compare favorably with the first-class Hotels of the up-country, and the polite attentions of mine Host and his worthy lady render everything most pleasant and agreeable. The "Central House," we are sure, will attain a high reputation." The Editor further says: "The village of Williameton contains a population of near 700 inhabitants, celebrated for their morality and liberality, as well as thrift and enterprise. They have three Churches, several schools, and various ele gant private residencos. Does not this place present inducements to the citizens of the low country, who have been going North and elsewhere for pleaure or health ? This point is settled, and we are convinced that4he practice of Southerners pouring out their money on extravagant Hotels in the North will be abandoned, when it is known that in our midst may be found such a watering place as the Willismaton Springe."

ANOTHER LETTER FROM TE KOUNTAINS. Pia-cts DisTnicT, S. C., June 23, 1858. MI. EDnTon:-The last month has not been very prolific of news in this part ofithe country,-nothing snusual or startling has tranapired. And I thank [leaven that-such is the cspse This last assertion nay seem a little strange, coming, as it does, fro0 one who is constantly on the Qi viae for something novel or thrilling with. which t..fill out a sheet now Lad then for the benefit of your. readers. And why, it may be asked, should a correspondent, or any one else, be thankful that there Is no news? It oes that all is reell. It might sometimes inply a state of things bordering on stagnation. But at the same time, it argues an absence of storm, and flood, and conflagration; of postilence, and death, and " grim. visaged war;" of robbery, and murder, and suicide. Instead of those evili, so shocking to humanity, peaseo, and health, and all the sweet charities of life "Love's intellectual law !"-reign supreme. In 1854, the Columbia and Hamburg Railroad was in agitation. This was intended to constitute a linu in an Air-Line Road between New -York and Now Orleans. The project, however, wits a failure. But now, strange to say, the same idea is about to be car ried out by an Air-Line Railroad connecting Ander. sonund Atlanta, and crossing'the Savannah, or the Tugalo, more than one hundred miles above Augusta This line is to be continued from Newberry, across tho country, in the direction of Chester and Charlotte. At the latter place, it will branch off towards Dan. ville, Va., where it will intersect the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad. By reference to the Map, it will be seen that those three links would enable the traveller to pass from the great Northern Mart to its rival at mouth of the Mississippi, withoutever devia. ting very far from a bee line. Now there are thou. sands of people in the S;uth West, who are compelled to seek smumer quarters every season. Many ol those gay birds of passage would bp induced to stol: at Anderson or Greenville, whenco they would bc attracted to our mountains, and there they would find scenery and Mineral waters rivalling, if not excelling, any of which the North eqn boast, The Blue Ridge Railroad would take thoi within;tn or twelve miles of Tallulah Falls, where, according to impartial trav ellors, you may witness a grandeurbf cliff and cataracts superior to that of Niagara, a beauty of landscape equal to any thing of the sort bepeath Italian skies, In short, all of our watering places and summe resorte, together with the surrounding country, would be made to flourish and prospc. In a fOr years, iuch of our water power, now running to waste would be made to turs an honest penny by beini brought in contact with machiniry. Manufacturia villages would spring up, as If by the enchanter') wand, and a more general diffuision of knowledgi would necessarily onsuo. The genial glow of this prosperity in the "up.country" wiuld be felt in Char, leston, and in other portions of the State. By the way, a theory in connection with this sami Air-Line Railroad has been advanced, which is rathei fuscinating to us back-woodsnon, and withal quit plausible and original. It is briefly this. Natur has designed that a portion 'of our' Southern State. should supply the world with' cotton -'for all time t< come. In performing this Hlerqulean task frought as it ever will be, with so much' of profit to them solves, and of comfort to 'the rest of mankind,' it i' not to ho expected that those States should raise stocl and grain enough to answer all their ,purposes. Is process of time when the consadmption of sotton in ceases, our people will need markets, on a scale comn mensurate with the operations doppndesnt thornon, is which may he purchased at all.tinies, any quantit: of flour, corn, and bacon,-awy umber of~ mules cattle and horses. Columbia, Atlanta and Monigome ry are considered the most 'suitable points for the es tablishment of these great provision Marts. Let this plan and policy be carried into operation, and thosu Towns of the interior would soon become magnificen ities-the pride and the pecuniary advantage o Southern planters. Harvest is now past, and thme yield of wheat in thi: part of the country will not be muc~h more than hal as great as it was last year. But there Is old flou' enough yet on hand, it is thought, to last until thei middle of September. 0Osts are spoilt by the rust Corn and cotton look green and fiourishing-prfuctj beautiful to behold. We have just about rain enough and the weather is pleasant exceedingly. The candidates up here are as,a matter of course very solicitous to make acquaintances, hut there i. no exeithent, no fun, no discussions, ,and nsobab cues. Treatinsg seis to be uder the ban of publi opinion. And who would not rejoice at this ? Isi Rot enough to cover us over with confusion to thi and to know that votes-the constituent elements o sovereignty-can be bought, or in the slightest degre influenced, by a cupful of inean whiskey ? Excuse this dull letter. .I hope to d etter nexl month. Yours, enc ansimo, E. K. For the Advertiser. ATLANTA, G A., June 15th 1858. Mu. Ennvon :-I promised in my last, that at some future time I would speak more fully of the Medica College of Atlanta. I now propose, with your per mission, to redeem that promise, and the more willing ly do I take this subject in hand because of certahs impressions that have been made upon the minds o those who are not familiar with the history of tha excellent institution, and because reports have gon abroad which in themselves are radically false, bu yet calculated, if not contradicted, to very seriousl: afect its future prospect. The Atlanta Medical College was chartered by th Legislature of Georgia in February of 1S54. In th following June It was organized by the election of Faculty composed of seven Professors, men distin guished on account of their scientific learning, whi were skilled na physicians, with a long practical ex perience. It was sometime after the election of the Fascultl took place, at ore thseyand the Trustees decided wheth er to makeIta ssfntrora snuerschool. After mature13 deliberatinsg in referenco to this-'point asnd taking int< consideration all the'eircumstanes which might hays the most remote bearing upon the subjet, it wai agreed usponithat most good would be achieved by summer schooh To this conclusion they were drives by the fagt that, although there were many summe1 Medical Schools in sucessful operation in the North. era States, not one was to be found South of Masox &t Dixon's line. True there were summer sessioni held by the winter schools of thme South, yet durini those the degree of " M. Dl." was never.conferred upor any but those who had taken two full courses previ ously. Hence the North had, most unquestionably, decided advantage over the South in that particular Upon looking over the reports of the Northern sum. ser schools it was found that muny Southern student: were annually in attendance 'upon their lectures Thus, those who were doirous of taking their secondi course during the summer seasosi were compelled, fei lack of a home institution, to-leave their homes andi rriends in the sunny. South, to ho with those whose affections are alienated from us, and with whom se many unpleasant occurrences aro continually trans. piring. This was not the fruit of anybeerionalprjedcee, or politseai bigorry, hut a cordial review of plain, stern acts as they were found to exist. I know there are ome-and I am sorry to say, not a fear, but princi ~aly those who have had uhe misfortune to spend heir money North-who charge prejudice and see ionalism upon those who have the manliness and pa riotism to press the claims of th'e South upon Sourh ns amen, (for we expect nothing, nor dowo ask any hing. of Northern men.) There are these who write ong homilies In praise of the "whole soulod sons of ene" of the North to the total neglect of the pros willing to accord to Northern Colleges and sons c science all that is duo them, but we are not willin to acknowledge their claims over us as being pars mount to those of our own beloved country. Th past is the only just criterian by which to judge t future, and if allowed to mako that our standard w need never, can never expect anything but taunti vituperation andjvile abuse at their hands, (taken a wholee) except for the time while our money J going to cram their avaraclous maws. Dam up t current of money which is continually flowing int their always opeaa pockets, and their real f.eling to u as a people will soon manifest itself, and their " whol soulednoss" will dwindle into the most contemptuou Insignificance. It is hoped that those who are incoi santly dinning "soctionalism" into our ears, will boo in mind that the poor simple-minded man that thawe the frozen viper soon had reason to repent of his geo orosity. My Bible (which I invariable adopt as m rule of action) teaches me that "he who providet not fur his own houshold has denioe the faith an is teorae than an iafdel." Another inducement to hold the sessions of the Al lanta Medical College during the summer season wa found in the fact that at that period of the year healt is to be found at its ultima thule in this city, whil the most of large cities and towns are suffering unde the fatal epidomiscs so prevalent of late years in th Southern states. Atlanta, the seat of the College, I located in a high mountainous country, being blesse with asurpassingly salubrious atmosphere; puro watoi and good health are proverbial of the place. It has been said by the enemies of the College members and interested persons of rival organizatio -that Anatomy could not be taught successfully i the South during the summer season. But any on with five grains of common sense can see, by a m< mont's reflection, the fallacy of such an assortioi Hero the subjects for dissection, the most importas thing in the study of the human organism, are prc cured during the winter season when the process < putrefaction does not advance so rapidly, and as preserved in alcohol till required for use. I woul not be thought as attempting to derogate from wint schools when I state that they cannot possibly kee their subjects in so perfect a state of preservatioi being compelled as they are to take them in the sun mer season at which time decomposition readily goi forward. I know the Charleston College teach< Anatomy successfully, so does the College of Augusti but not a whit better than the School of Atlanti The latter College building is a large edifice in whic there is a capacious apartment used as a dissectin room, which is most delightfully ventilated, where LI student may pursue his studies with the utmost caL and comfort, enjoying at the same time the oral instrui tions of an eflicient demonstrator. If this is not, i least, as gyood as a closely pent up room where tLI student must, ex necessitate, inhale an impure al mosphere rendered so by the efluvia thrown off frol decomposing animal matter; and where he can scarei ly hold the scalpel in his benumbed fingers, then I a no philosopher. , The facilities for teaching Chemistry are by x means unimportant. The chemical laboratory is we furnished with all the apparati so essential to the exh bition of those experiments requisite to a correct ui derstanding of that important branch of sciontif medicine. This department is in charge of thi bright luminary of the Chemical world, Alexandi Means, late of the Medical College of the State , Georgia, yhose vast learning and ability, nood but i be alluded to, to be acknowledged and venerated. We have frequent opportunities of witnessing ot Prof. of Surgery, Dr. W. F. Westmoroland, porforn the most important and difficult operations. Ti privileges ho enjoyed for several years in the Su gical Schools of Paris fit him for the most successf -performance of those operations, always dovolvir upon the practical Surgeon. Hie is likewise an ab toacher of his noble art, and delivers his instructioa 'in that fascinating lucid style so apt to commend itsc to the heart as well as mind of the pupil. In a wor Iour teachers are all interesting lecturers, and, as sii gular cnd incredible as it may appear to some, ha the happy faculty of making each of their subjel dull and irksome as some are, full of pleasing inte est. It has been intimated that any body can graduate the Atlanta Medical Collage. Sotheyeanaif sufficient prepared, but not otherwise. Let those'who imagi this School a mere diploma-solling-money-makir machine, endenvor to graduate without sufficient pre aration and they will soon learn to their own chagr that they can't "sgneeze" through quite so easy. Tl foreps are never used to pull candidates throuj hero. Nay, verily. I will leave the reader to judge whether the Atlan Medical College is likely to "flourish as the gret bay tree," after atating that the first Course wass tended by a class of 79 students; the second cia numbered 105; the third 125; while the present still larger. This is a success unparralleled in Il history of any Medical Collego In the Union, and has risen against wind and tid,--against a worldi opousition. Years from now, the alumni of this Ins i tution will be proud to say " the A tlanta College where I graduated."
