The population of the city of Augusta, Geor-
gia, is ascertained to be Whites 1888, Slaves
4,742, Free colored persons 224--total 2,1O4.-
The total population in lS45 was 1902. The
Increase in five years therefore has been 1902, or
fraction over 81 per cent. Upon this remarka-
Bile increase, which the Chronicle and Sentinel
says has been mostly within the last two years,
that paper remarks:
This is very fair demonstration of the influence of
manufactures upon the growth and prosperity otcities
which will apply with much justice to the country Let
Georgians and Southern men, as they would merit the
character patriots, statesmen and phanthropists pom
der these facts and persevee in the great work of
enrchng the South, improving hecondition ofhe peo-
pie and rendering her ndel eroent.
All this may be accomplished by building up manu-
factories in every neghborhood, village, town and city
throughout the South, which will give the wives and
children of the poorer classes employment and convert
them into producers. Now the great mass ofthem are
merely consumers, adding little to the wealth of the
country-create demand for their labor, which they
have to sell. and they become wealth producers
enrichng themselves and adding greatly to the wealth

MASS ACHISETTS

1t is truly instructive to observe how costly the DEM
ocrats and Aboonsts get along together in the Mas
sachusets Legislature Their proceedings thus far do not
correspond very well with the declarations of the Bos-
ton Post and other Democratic papers that the coalition
should not be carried out 1t is most generally sup
posed that the distinguished Free Soier Charles Sum-
ner will be elected the Senate by the allies The
following shews the preliminary billing and cooling
now in progress
The Boston Traveller rema rks that the Legislature

members have been quite liberal to the editorial fir aer

The GREATEST Discovery OF THE AGE-T'here has
just been brought to light the application OF power
,rhich is 10 supersede entirely the present steam poo-
er Of the ,oorld! This announcement may stagger
some, but the discovery, when shall be divuged will
stagger them thousand times more.
1t has been made by an Eastern man, who has COM
pleted his modes-one of which will be deposited at
Washington soon patent rights shall be secured
in the different European countries. The machinery
is entire y pereced-the power is motive one, and
steam has no part in creating it, So simple and eco
nomical are the principle and application, that two
of coal will be sufficient to drive the largest ship OF
the line around the world.
We not at liberty, now, to divulge more of this
wonderful dscovery but predict, with the greatest
confidence, that short time only will elase before
total revolution will take place throughout the world
in our motive power system. Indeed, we assert with
the same confidence that the year 1850 terminated the
sovereignty OF steam,
This is no chimera. We mean what we say-and

PHILOSOPHY OF RANDRETHS VEGE-
TABLE P1LLS.-When the tkeory of the ercula-
ton of the blood established the secret springs of
vitality were then partially exposed to our view. We
saw and understood that the food we eat was con-
verted into blood, which repaired the waste of the ami.
NAL machine; the food is fuel, which keeps at a life
heat the internal fires that warm and nvigorae the
inner man. The blood is electric fluid which car
ries this heat to every ramication ofhe body even to
the exremities of the hair and horny nail. While the
blood is thus the seat OF life is also the of dis
ease Food gives the body strength; Brandreths Pills
give blood the necessary power to throw out from itself
all impurities thus rendering the stream OF lie pure and
healthy. 1t men were more sincere, there would
be fewer religious creeds; and if they kept closer
natures laws in the management OF their bodies, they
would require little medicine. AS men grow in
teligent they will become wiser and happier; now,
their sdom is proved by the fact that when sickness
assas them, they use Brandreths Vegetable Universal
fills, which soon restores them to health.
They are peculiarly adapted to this climate, and re-
qulre no extra care when they are used either in diet
clothing They should be always in the house, that
upon the first indication of sickness they may be used

will be found beyond all praise. Three five will act
like charm, often curing dangerous maady once,
saving months of sickness and the evils thereto attend
ing Remember, Brandreths Pills are known and
fully tested medicine one that is used by hundreds OF
thousands in this country, and throughout the civilized
world They are quietly superceding all other medi-

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 4, 1851.
Governor Wright, Of Indiana, in his message to the
Legislature, expresses himself decidedly strong in ia
vor of colonization. Speaking of the Fugitive Law,
he says-"Whatever difference of opinion may exist
to the late compromise measures enacted by Congress
however ultra men in the North and South may oppose
denounce henthere is but one course OF action for
the true patriot to pursuethat is unhestatngly and in
good faith, to carry their enacmens. There is no
safety for property life except in the absolute supre-
acy of the law; higher duty of the citizen than to
maintsin, by word and deed, that supremacy, as we
value the HERITAGE rich beyond all price, purchased, not
with silver gold, but with the ites blood of the good

downward road to anarchy" The message gives very
