Courtship.
Annie sighed, and Jamie seized her
Pretty little trembling hand,
Then with out-stretched arm he seized her
Half reluctant form, and and ——
“Loose mo!” but he elasped the tighter—
“ Annie, say, wilt thou be mine?”
Then her bright face grew much brighter,
Then she whispered, “I am thine.”
Then they clasped each other fondly,
Close together as two bricks;
And they kissed each other soundly,
And I left them in this fix.
Daniel Webster and Sidney Smith.
During Mr. Webhtkr's visit in England ho
made the acquaintance of Ilev. Sidney Smith.
Smith. The latter introduced him to Lord
Brougham, and accidentally presented him as
Henry (’lay. The Incident watt mentionad at
the time in this country and was attributed to
Smith's love of a joke. Hearing of this report,
Mr. Smith wrote to Mr. Webster denying it,
and explaining the mistake. Mr. Webster
wrote in reply the following :
. Washington, 1841. .
My Dear Sir : Though exceedingly delight
ed to hear from you, 1 am yet much pained by
the contents of your note; not so much howev
er, as 1 should be were 1 not able to give n
peremptory denial to the incident to which you
refer as a joke of yours ; fur from it; nor did I
mention it as any thing extraordinary.
My dear good friend, do not think me such an
as to quote or refer to any incident
falling out between you and me to your disad-
vantage. The pleasure of your acquaintance
I brought home with me.—
I hiuT read of you and read you for thirty years.
I was delighted to meet you, and to have all 1
know of you refreshed and brightened by the
charms of your conversation. If any son of
asserts that, either through ill-will or
love of vulgar gossip, 1 tell such things of you
its you suppose, I pray you let him be knocked
down inxtantcr; and be assured, my dear sir. I
never spoke of you in my life but wiih gratitude,
respect, and attachment.
D. Weisstei:.
To this Mr. Smith wrote in answer:
Many thanks, my dear sir, for your oblige
ing letter. I think hotter of myself because
you think well of me. If, in the imbecility of
old age, I forgot your name for one moment,
the history of America will be more tenacious
Itecause you an* using your eloquent wisdom to
rertnun tin* high spirit of your countrymen
within the limits of justice, and are securing Io
two kindnsl nations, who ought to admire and
benefit each other, the blessings of peace. How
can great talent lie applied to nobler ends, and
what existence can be more more truly splen
did? Ever sincerely, yours,
Sidney Smith.

The Shocking Accident on the
Boston Kailroad.
It has been stated that Mr. I). Taft, of Char
leston, S. p., a passenger in the train from Bos
ton to Albany, met with a shocking accident on
the 13th instant. The Albany Argus says :
The train was coming!down the grade at a high
rate of speed, and when passing a freight ear
which was standing switch track—-the freight car
having swing doors—the entire side of the sec
ond passenger car was taken otT as neatly and
thoroughly as it could have lieen done with a
saw Mr. Taft, who was sitting with his elbow
resting on the window ,sill, lost his arm, it hav
ing been cut off twice, lielow and above the el
bow. A German also hud his arm-bone broken
in such a manner that it protruded through the
flesh.
So instantaneous was the work of destruction
done that it was not until the tiain arrival at
Kinderhook that the conductor was aware that
any accident had happened. Several lady pas
sengers on the train, with considerable manor
nimity, stripped oli their superfluous linen, with
which to bind up the arm Mr. Taft, who came
on to this city.
'The portion of the arm o fMr. T. which was
cut off was found the next day and taken to Al
bany. Mr. T. is said to have borne his suffer
ings with extraordinary fortitutde. The blood
at first flowed in torrents from the wound, but a
physician, w’ho happened to be a passenger soon
bound it up. The Argus adds:
This accident is represented by those witness
ing it as one of the most remarkable in rail
road experiences, and explains the necessary for
strict compliance with the railroad rule to keep
within the inelosures of the cars. But while
this is expected of the passengers, it is also re
quired of the railroad companies that the doors
at the sides of their cars si tall not Ikj hung on
hinges so as to swing. Had this requirement
been complied with this accident would not have
happened.
Assyrian Antiquities.
Byron complained of our scant knowledge of
Assyrian life. His gorgeous drama of “Sarda
napalus"—the conception of the hero, and the
moral setting of the play—rose out of the poet’s
mind rather than from known materials. The
scene was a creation. Thirty-five years have
passed, and, thanks to Rawlinson and Layard,
the English Court as with that of Egypt. Our
knowledge, too, is daily deepening. Among
the many curious illustrations of Assyrian life
brought homo by Col. Rawlinson from the East,
and now on view at the British Museum—where
they have been visited during the week by the
Majesty of England —are, an alabaster vase,
containing some remains of sweetmeats, various
objects in gold aud ivory, part of the throne of
Sardanapalus, many inscriptions relating to the
deeds of men celebrated in secular and sacred
history—such as Nebucahduezzar, Surdanapa
lus, and Tiglath-Pileser—gems and other per
sonal ornaments; together with a series ofdruw
ings, made by artists on the spot, from slabs
impossible to bring away from their ancient
renting-places, representing tlie wore heroic
forms 01 antique relaxation—lion hunts ban
quets, and the like. How strange to think of
these spoils of the proud dynasty of Semiramis,
after three thousand years, being visited in a
London Museum by a lady who reigns in all
feminine gentleness over a mightier empire than
obeyed the “ancient beldame”—who from the
ends of the earth stretched a benignant sceptre
over that very I ndia from which the successor
of Minus returned baffled and discomfited I
London Athcnaum.
Adventure with a Swordfish.—On Tues
day last Captain Hernan Elridge, of the yacht
Thorn, accompanied by a party of gentlemen
consisting of Mr. Joseph F. Davis, of Boston :
Charles T. Burgin, of Philadelphia; Samuel
Jawrence, Joseph llayett, and Jas. XV. Coffin
of Worcester, started on a swondfishing excur
sion, on the South side of Muskeget. The}’
succeeded in making fast to one large fellow',
and hauled the boat to him to cut off his sword,
but owing to the struggles of the fish the spade
struck his body and cut out the iron which held
him.
Maddened by pain, the enraged fish retreated
some distance, and then turning, made for the
bout with prodigious velocity, making the wa
ter foam uround him. Just liefore reaching
her, Captain Elridge threw an iron at him, and
served to check his headway so much that he
struck the boat but slightly, his sword going
through but u few inches, and breaking off.—
Ihul the iron missed the lish, the boat must
inevitably have been stoven. and all on board
left at the mercy of the waves several miles
from land, with no other boat in sight.
The fish was finally seeural, and the gentle
men of the party though thoroughly frightened,
were ready the next day for a sharking excur
sion, with Captain Eldridge, in his beautiful
yacht, when they succaxlal in hooking eight or
ten of these voracious monsters, but ouly saved
two of them, one of which a ground shark,
measured eleven, and the other, a blue dog. ten
feet in length.— Nantucket Mirror.
Rumored Duel.—AVashington, Aug. 17.
Information was hxlgal at the police ollia' lute
last night, thutj a duel had Imm'ii arranged l»e
--twan Mr. Fatllkner ami Mr. Boteler, his late
opponent, and that they had come lidK* for the
purpose* of consummating the arrangement.
The parties were accordingly arrested this
morning, and put under lionds of five thousand
dollars each, not to fight in this district, or leave
it for the purpose of fighting elsewhere.

Many reasons have induced the proprietor of
this paper to embark in an enterprise never be
fore attempted in the South, and which has
proved, not only successful in the Anti-Slavery
States North and West, but has received a pat
ronage in the Slave States, that had better be con
fined, though at greater expense, to the South
ern Press.
To obviate, then, the objection, as far as we
can, to the price of the Weekly Examiner, we
from and after the period designated willforwaid
it to subscribers at one dollar, per annum, and
this will place it within the reach of the poor, as
well as the rich.
To politics, news, and literature, the Examiner
will be devoted. Our position in regard to the
first is already well understood. It is unnecessa
ry, therefore, to say more than that it sustains
and will sustain, the DEMOCRATIC ANTI
KNOW NOTHING PARTY of Georgia and
the Union, to which the South can look, with
confidence, to the maintenance of her rights, and
a strict adherence to the Constitution.
The NEWS DEPARTMENT of this paper
shall be unsurpassed by any weekly paper in the
South. Atlanta occupies a position, and embra
ces facilities, for the receipt and transmission of
NEWS, unequalled in the South. Every ad
vantage will be taken of these, to make the EX
AMINER a valuable news paper to our farmers,
who, in the main, subscribe for weekly paper s
only.
The Literary and Miscellaneous Department
will also receive a large share of attention.
During the session of our Legislature, one of
the Editors will be present to report the proceed
ings of that Body, foi the Daily Examiner —these
reports will be transferred to the weekly and each
subscriber to it, will thus have a complete history
of the session.
A correspondent to furnish the proceedings of
Congress, and a New York correspondent, have
also been engaged. In short, every thing that
can reasonably be expected of a weekly paper,
will be laid before the subscribers to the Exam
iner.
A large and fine assortment of new type has
been ordered, and is now on its way from New’
York. We hope to receive it in time for our
next week’s issue, when not only will the ap
pearance of our Daily and Weekly be greatly
improved, but a large quantity of reading matter
will be added to both.
In adventuring upon this novi enterprise—one
so important to Georgia, and theSouth —the Pro
prietor anticipates a generous support. It is the
first established paper in the State, or the South,
with a large circulation, that has reduced its
terms, that it may be within the reach oi any man.
As such, it is hoped and believed that the enter
prise will prosper.
We appeal then to the people to subscribe;
particularly do we call upon the DEMOCRACY
and ANTI-KNOW NOTHINGS, to stand by
us. Send in your orders, by tens and by hun
dreds, and we will send you a large, well printed
piper equal ih its every department, to any wcck
y Southern paper.

MOST IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES
Dr. Geissner’s celebrated Menstrual Pills have
been long and widely known as invariably cer
tain in removing my stoppage, irregularity, or
suppression, of the menses.
In the Female Hospitals in Vienna, Paris,
and Berlin, they have entirely superseded the use
of all other remedies ; because, where a cure is
attainable by medicinal agencies, they are cer
tain of success. Their effiacy would be almost
incredible, if not vouched for by indubitable tes
timony, in numerous instances producing returns
of the monthly period after all hope had been
abandoned.
In every case from whatever cause the obstruc
tion may arise, as also to prevent pregnancy
where the health will not admit of increase of
family, thej are always efficient ; for which
reason they must not be used during pregnancy,
though always mild, healthy, safe and certain in
their effects.
Married ladies will find particular instructions
in the directions, in which are stated the various
symptoms by which the causes of the suppression
may lie determined.
Price, One Dollar per Box, containing explicit
directions.
Each box will be signed by Dr. R. G. Geiss
