All receipts given by hiw will lie re*pee!hd by The 8dm office. Look lit Mr. Loro's curd this morning. There is a mutter for you to attend to without delay. Worthy of Imltaatioa. We commend the example of Chorlie Hughcs, whoso advertisement appears in our columns. He was brought up in Athens and this city without the advant ages of education or fortune ; has from childhood worked hard, kept sober, and is steadily gaining ground. Patronize him. The Fi u't Market. The city was bountifully supplied with different kinds of fruit all of lust week, and this trade was brisk till Saturday night. Watermelons appeared to be the leading article, and every train from Au- guhtu brought car loads of the finest kind. Notwithstanding this the prices have been, we think, unusuully high— ranging from fifty cents to one dollar and twenty-five cents. Home of our largest fruit dealers do a heavy jobbing business, and sell melons at the same price here as they can bought further Booth.-- Messrs. Stokes *fc liro., sold nearly five hundred melons Saturday, and other fruits in proportion. Pease and his wife, perhaps, do the largest trade impeaches, and they sold and shipped over one hun dred and twenty-five crates the same day. As the season advances the fruits improve in size and flavor, and prices get lower every day. A NARROW ESCAPE. On Friday night, two prominent mem bers of the City Council stepped out of the Chamber to have a private talk and understanding as to how they should vote on some measure which would come be fore the body on that occasion. Iu or der to be perfectly quiet and secluded they walked some distance out into the pea patch, and were consulting in an un dertone on the subject. While thus en gaged, Pat. Fitzgibbon, who is nil ears and eyes,-and continually on the look, espied these gentlemen, aud mistook them for another cow, which had broken iu upon the pea patch. Quitely stooping down, lie gathered him several rocks and then cautiously slipping up close to the supposed robber, so as to give her a good ‘‘welt,” he drew back, when one of the city fathers took all in at a glance, and a very quick one, too. He suDg out: “ Don’t throw, Mr. Gibbons ! It’s us— two members of Council!” This saved them. Pat dropped his rocks, and remarked; “ Be jasus, aud I thought it was anither thaving cow come to eat up our peas, and I was was going to brake the rascul's ribs entirely,” It is useless to say that the gentlemen soon decided as to which way the vole should be cast, and retired from tbe spot which came so near proving disastrous. BRANCH ALLEY. Remark* for the Benefit of <h«' Council. Mr. $di tor : It is to be hoped the Council will reconsider their action of Friday last on the subject of changing the name of Branch Alley. It Is believed that none of the owners of property on that street were consulted in this matter; v certainly some of the larger owners were not, and do protest against the same as published. Branch Alley is a street, mapped, loca ted and nornt'd in the originul Mitchell subdivision at tbe same time with For syth, Guruett and other streets. Deeds of conveyance, maps of the city, gazet teers, directories, mills, machine shops, &c., Ac., have recognized that name, and localities uud business establishments are now identified with it aud do not desire a change. If the public desire a change, let it be to that which will create the least confusion. Branch street would not be objectionable. It is an agreeable name, readily remembered, easily written, ami denotes iu the change the diguity oi . pro wrens from alley to street. There are general reasons and some special ones why the new name is inap propriate. If the member who proposed this •change, aud further to extend the street to Thompson, had given the matter any serious attention, he might have saved himself and his fellow-members from a ridiculous position; for a very little en quiry with the holders of property on the proposed extension, or a reference to a city map would have at once shown that the city is now the controller of the en tire line. Branch Alley has always ex tended to Thompson street Its residents have time and repeatedly entreated, begged, petitioned and urged of the authorities to make the way pass able, nt 1-wst for foot passengers, end yet entreat that it be done, but on the con trary the recent working of Thompson and White street all, and the no work on Forsyth street, has made it more inap proachable than ov r. Now, that attention is directed to this 8‘reet, let it l>e pi* ed iu proper Older and all incumbrances of whutever kind, be removed from one extremity to the other—that the public may have the ben efit of iU entire width.

The “ gilt edge ” spoken of that was to be on hand Saturday, failed to put iu an appearanoe. The report, however, that something of the sort was on the tapis, had the effect to bring his Hooor- iu-chief out. But not a single white piece of calico was to be seen. How that happened Jonsen only knows. It was evidently a great disappointment to the Court, for it had whetted its beaks for this dainty morceau, which had promised such a feast. The knowing ones kuew that the other offenders then on hand would catch it. The first one called up was HENRY WABSAKNAM, a plasterer. This gentlemau had in his employ several negroes, aud had regular hours for them to w ork. Like a good mechanic, he had system, aud his work men were bound to obey his rules. One obstreperous darkie undertook to manage WarsArnam’s business for him, when the latter very properly knocked the day lights ont him with his fist. For this ho paid $10. Then the deck was cleaned for action in the SMITH FAMILY UNPLEASANTNESS. Martha Jackson was arraigned for dis orderly conduct, quarreling and fighting. Tt seems that Martha lived close by the Smith mansion, and that John Smith was on very intimate terms with Miss Martha. Nothing more, however, than mere friends. On Friday John was at the house of Mrs. Wioship and Martha was there too. ifrs. John, for a long time, had smelt a big-sized rat, and had taken several occasions to give her lord curtain lectures upon the course he was pursuing, and at the meeting jmt alluded to she happened iu herself, anil suggested to John that he had better be at borne working the garden. To this John 'gave some tart reply, and com menced a regular onslaught upon his spouse. She being game to the back bone, gave John as good as he scut, when they both tumbled out the door. Then she called Martha a bat-mout bitch and several other names, which Martha couldn’t stand, and slu* sailed into Mrs. Smith, biting her ear, head uud arm. The rascally part John played was iu holding his wife for Martha to beat her. This his Honor considered too bad, and fined Martha $10 and costa. JOHN SMITH was then tried for his part in the fuss. Mrs. Smith was very bitter against John and reminded the Court of a little black wasp. Her passions ran so high in court that she turned blue. His Honor thought she had been treated badly, and told John he could not come the Brigham Young over this community without first buying his checks, and this oue would cost him ten dollars. HESTER SMITII was the aggrieved party. After le.during her for a long time about how she must treat her husband, by kindly mending his clothes, cooking his food, looking his head aud other family duties, she was let off. If there is anything in this world the Mayor is better at than another, it is in lecturing. Ho is a natural born lecturer, and he seldom fails to bring tears to the ryts of his subjects, wheu he commences upon them. GEORGIA SUPREME COURT.

We invite the careful attention of the people of Georgia to the following, which appeared in the Louisville Courier-Jour nal of recent date. It has as muoh force here, more indeed as money is less plentiful with us than in Kentucky, and we trust it will awaken a thoughtful consideration of the whole subjeot: We have always been advocates of en couragement to home institutions in pre ference to all others. ' In proportion to the patronage extended to enterprises of our own will our activity and general prosperity be advanced. On the contrary so long as we ooufees inferiority and make our mentropolis only the mart or the way station for the trade of Northern or Eastern cities, just so long will our enter prise be abridged, our energies crippled, and our prosperity made secondary to those who claim a manufacturing or com mercial supremacy. This matter is too important and serious in its character to merit only a passing notice. It is one of sufficient gravity to demand the calm and earnest consideration of our citizen* Claiming as we do the future trade of the South, we must show ourselves worthy, or its people will go elsewhere. The necessities of onr people demand that all the sources of labor that we can ooutrol should be placed and kept among them. We should not only establish new enter prises, but should foster and support those which we have. Among the most important of theso are publishing houses which will not only furnish good books for the use of our children and suited to the temper of our people, but will retain money in our business circles, give em ployment to numbers of our deserving mechanics, and com maud the patronage and commercial intercourse of our sister States. Our remarks will apply with equal force to other cities of the South and West whose people aspire to commercial inde pendence. These reflections are supple mental to our article of the 20th lust, on commercial and manufacturing cen ters. We have an illustration of the readiness with which the people of the South are led from their true interests by •ARRATH PULPIT KKTVIEW. First Presbyterian Church, Rev. Jno. S. Wilbon, Pastor. Text—"A companion of fnals shall be destroyed. Prov. 13: 20. * There is an animal of the lizard kind known by its power of changing its color to that of any object on which It may be. There is also an animal not of the saurian or lizadl kind, which also takes its oolor from its associations, and that animal is man. “Fool” in Scripture means sinner, for sin is folly. Oar Saviour used the word in the parable of the rich man, who had not where to bestow his goods. Sinners are fools in a higher degree than other men. The dootrine of the text is that he who frequents the company of siuners will be destroyed. The words of the text are absolute, but they are to be taken in a qualified sense; for many associate with sinners by necessity or for the purpose of doing them good. The companions of sinners, who have come to an untimely end, can trace their ruin to their associates. They are de stroyed—not in time, but iu eternity. 1st When sinners become companions they mutually assist each other in sin ning. Men may have different views when they are apart, but when they come together they become of one mind, mere ly by association and interchange of views. Especially is this true of sinners. Honoc, State Prisons, as generally man aged, are a curse instead of a blessing to society. The young and inexperienced criminals are thrown with the hard ened, confirmed, and thus become more depraved and hardened. The same is true with regard to gaming tables, intemperenoe and lea Inca*.

Gen. Gordon is now on a visit to this city, and we presume, though we know not his affairs, oomes on business connected with the compauy of which he is the traveling agent. The publishing company which lie represents, having failed twice iu hu individual enterprise, now solicits aid from the South to enable it to carry on its business. It is not now our province to criticise the 1>ooks which this company offers to the teachers and parents of tbe South in return for the vast demands it makes upon their pockets. It is with this attempt fcodraio off the scant)'means of onr people that wo have to do. In what are onr people ben efit ted if Gen. Gordon tikes their money to be swallowed np in New York V Should their capital go to the support of Northern labor w hen other means of in vestment at home invite their attention ? We have the kindliest feelings for the gentleman of whom we have just spoken, but we submit it to the good sense of the Southern people if his practice is not at variance with his preaching. If the en terprise which he commends to them should prove a success, the stockholders may receive regular dividends upon their shares, but the country at large is injured in proportion to the sums of money ex tracted from her people. The people of the Houth have iu all things else been slow to appreciate that the true secret of commercial independence lies in the es tablishment of factories and workshops with their own capital, within their own territory, and controlled by themselves. For all the benefit which may accrue to them from lending too willing an ear to Gen. Gordon’s speeches, the publishing bouse which they are called on to patron ize might us well be located iu London.

Sinful companions onoourage i nch otlu-r by argument, flattery aud ridicule.. How many youths of pious parentage are laughed out of their good principles by mocking companions. Sinners tell their | victims that the warnings of teachers aud parents are a bugbear. 3d. Sinners communicate their Bin by contagion. The body is more suscepti ble to disease at some times than at others; but the soul is, from its natural proneness to sin, alwuys ready to imbibe the infection. You sec a mob shouting aud raving, but you kuow not what has assembled them. They themselves know not why they are full of passion; but it is from the principle of sympathy. 4th. Sinners exclude each other from good company. He that walketh with the good is wise, according to the first part of the verse of the text. The wise are the religious, and so the companions of sinners cannot be wise. The change from virtue to vice is grad ual. For instance, the drunkard learns of his companions and then retires into his closet or the social board to indulge. He may drink much in privute, but he learns in society with others. With sinners the yonng victim learns his first lessons of fraud. The cheat be comes a thief. Profaneness has its school and holds its malignant dominion iu the oompauy of rinnen. With trembling lip -and aching heart, the young swearer utters his first oath—only when he has learned to hold lightly the name of Jehovah from the association with siuners. The same is true of licentiousness.— The society of the libertine censes the feet of youth to leave the path of virtue and taking hold of the ways of death go down to helL Like the Trojan youth who gathered around the Grecian horse with laughter and dancing, and hailed with joy the very cause of their ruin, so sinners treat as an object of contempt the very cause of their ruin. u Fools make a mock of sin.” Better put a chain around your child and keep him at homo than to allow him to run abroad at night or otherwise asso ciate with the vile.

This language inculcates the ibaolnte necessity of looking forward, if we wish to attain spiritual prosperity and future salvation. This is taught by the Apostlo whenever be saw the appearance of wav ering. In ordinary affairs we feel the great advantage of uuwaveriug fidelity to any plan whatsoever; still more is this necessary in Christian duties. There can be no progress if we yield to our impulses; for these are ever variable, oscillating like the branches before the wind. These impulses, however, can be oon- troled by the exercise of determined will and sober reason. It impulse he superior to will, n it only no progress is made but no work can be accomplished.

FlHHT BAPTIST OHUBOH—MV. X. W.WABBXN, P1STOB Text—And when he taw a fig tree in the vv/y, he omits to it, and found nothing thereon but leaven only, and mid unto it, 11 Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward forever. And presently the fi£ tree withered away.—Matt 21:19. On the day before this miraole, Christ had enjoyed a grand triumphal march into the "City of the Greet King.” The multitude spread* their garments, and cast palm branches on the way, and oried hosannah to the Son of David ; blessed is He that someth in the name of the Lord; hosannah in the highest." He cast out from the temple all those who had made.Hia Father'! house “ a dsn of thieves.” As he heeled the blind aad lame—the children who beheld these good works echoed the shoot of the multitude, “Hosannah to the Bon of David.” On the next morning before breakfast, as He returned to tbe city, from the hospitable home of Laza rus, where He had spent a night of quiet repose ; He aaw one fig tree by the way- side, clothed with foliage. Although "the time of figs wasnot yet.” Still ns a man, He had the right to expect fruit, because there wore leaves—for the two always grew together. Finding the tree had put forth tho pretensions of fruit, without meeting the expectations awakened there by, He pronounced a curse upon it Among all the miracles of Christ, this, upon an bur* invite object, is the only one characterized by any degree of severity ; and yet this is the most brilliant display of meroy found among His wonderful works. It is the bell of warning, hung up.Si the rock of death, and constantly rung by the wuvos of time, sounding ont in the oar* of every mariner, " He what yon prof pm.” This tree i ■ symbolical of 1 The Jewi.-h nation.

At that time ye were without Cliriet, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenant of promise, having no hope aud without Urn! in the world. By the offenoe of one man judgment oume upon all men to eotulemnalion. This iu the dark picture. He is weak, ungodly, a sinner, an alien, an enemy under condemnation, dead iu trespass and in sin, without hope aud without God in tho world. Yet to suoh the apostle preached the Gospel; they were able to believe and obey, and of such he said, "And ye are complete in Him.” Of these very men he said, "Christ is made unto you wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption." I cau do all things through Christ whioh strengtheneth me. How is it that these men, onoe dead, now stand complete in Christ, lacking nothing. First "He is in Christ" Second. "Christ strengtheneth him.” He heard the word—trusted—obeyed— was baptised iuto Christ—put on Christ —is oomplete in him—oun do all things through Christ Tis first necessary to be in Christ— adopted into the divine family—to have in him the power of endless life. His former state, as compared with this, is as tho idiot compared to the man. The idiot is a blank—no progression, no advance forever ; tbe man nos in him eternal oapnbilities and an endless pro gression. The natural man is to spiritual life e blank, no advance, no progression. But the uew man in Christ Jesus, is a true living tone, s fearful power correcring on its way to eternity ; growing, radiating, expanding, forevor approximating the glorious excellency of God. The oourso of the natural man is down ward, inoressed by accumulating gravita tion ; the uew muu iu Christ Jesus, in the world, yet living above it, ssy without blasphemous presumption, " I can do all thiugs through Christ whioh strength eneth me.” Uatan has a kingdom and its ordinan ces; end men, by waiting upon these, be come the "rulers of the durkness or wiokedness of this world.” It is by vis iting the bull room, the theatre, tho curd table, tlm bar room and other nameless places of infamy, that men become adap ted to crime. The devil duet not impart to them in any other way his devilish na ture; hut by practicing these they eau al last say, with blasphemous boldness, "1 can do anything that is wicked." You have seen suob men, and you will become suoh if you oontiune to wulk iu the devil' oommaudments and ordinances. Christ has his ordinances, by observing whioh we grow in greoo daily until wo ar rive at the stature of perfect meu iu Christ Jesus. Among these ere score! prayer, family worship, religious associa tions aud conversation; reading the word of Gad; exhorting one another, aud the Lord's suppor. If we will walk in these commandments and ordinances bbuncloss we shall stand complete in him, lackiug nothing, aud say with Buul, "I can do ell things.” What are all things r Not to make s new world, or a now star in the Huuvens, or remove the oonrso of nature, but to do all things that God requires ; believe all tilings ; endure alt thiugs; perform all thiugs that God requires, looking duty full in the face.
