Hind your own Bniinet*. Tilts iv an old and wise adage. On the present occasion we refer to it for a special purpose. One of us at least, hat had some experience in the conduct of a public jour nal. In every political conflict, save one, for ver a quarter of a century, he has lieen en gaged, and those who are now in the politi cal-irena, that can date their experience as tar back as he can, can testify that editorial labor and responsibility have, by no manner of means, increased in Georgia, so as to make •t necessary, in 1857, for outsiders advise, direct, or dictate his course. The other of us, though inexperienced, hopes to prove useful and win the approba tion or the public in the part he shall play, ag one of the Editors of tins paper. When t.e assumed the responsibility of becoming a journalist, he v. as self-reliant, satisfied that he would have to labor ere he could secure the confidence and lavor of the public. But he did not anticipate outside ad vice, •or out- We heard a good anecdote yesterday, says the’Cdtaitibus Sun, and thoffglt it may awaks en aoiffMinpb-asani retni n it sen cool n the mind offlfeoMlthe actors, we think it Inn goad not to And ft* way-into the pnperrf. Everybody that klgfws Tom Judge, the iMfcated eiindis ilttie for Ton gross in the Third District of Alabama, knows that he is a whole-souled, genersas fellow, and does frequent nets ot kindness for his friend* and acquaintances in and about Montgomery, and by this means has acquired an unbounded personal popu larity pwtdci he greatly relied on lo sustain him through the late campaign. Indeed, ho presumed upon those acts ot kindness in so liciting votes for himself, and not unfrequent, ly with suecess, hut there were eases where principle was stronger than personal friend ship, even in the breast of a poor and friend less man, as the following anecdote will show: Oil the day of election, as one of the re cipients of Judge's kinduess was about to east his vote for the candidate of his choice, and Judge perceiving that it was in opposi tion to himself, lie accosted him in a tone of surprise, “ Are you not going to vote lor me I” Being thus addressed, and supposing that Judge presumed on the favors he had conferred upon him in thus soliciting his vote, the sovereign drew himself proudly up and said, 44 Col. Judge, you have conferred many furors on me, and 1 am thankful to you for them, and if you ehargo anything for them I will pay yon, but Dowdell advocates my principles and I must vote for him.”— Whereupon, our informant states, Col. Judge hung his head aad marveled that tliero was so much purity in a Democrat. /’; ogress of the Mobile and Ohio Railraiil. From the Mobile Evening News, we learn that two vessels arrived at that port on the 31st inst., each with a large quanti ty of iron for the Mobile & Ohio Railroad. One of the vessels brought 2,087 bars iron, and the other has 1,502 bars, and 4,102 fish ers. The work of track-laying, which has been for a long time suspended for the want of the material, will now probably be re sumed and continued with energj', and without interruption, until the final comple tion of the road to its terminus on the father of waters. St-.-amship Building in England.—We see stated that at this moment there are no less than 300 hundred steam propellers, ranging from one thousand to fifteen hun dred tons, building on the Clyde and in the ports of Great Britain. The British steam engine builders were never more busy than at the present time, and we learn that Na pier, the celebrated steam engine builder, has more work engaged than can be execu ted by him for tiixec years to come. Xoi Exactly So.—The New York Post,in referring to the immense sale of Dr. Kane's last expedition, said, fearing the result of the salt, he offered to sell las entire interest to the publishers for #5.000, but the latter declined. This is not exactly the truth; tin- doctor asked the publishers if he could realize #5,000 from the sale. The publish ers told him they would guarantee thut amount whether it sold or not, as they felt satisfied they could realize for him #50,000. They have made over that for him by the sale.—Ledger. iiuuitn Blseiplin.—In June last a confla gration broke out at the hamlet of Bardoak, and consumed 192 house*, among which was a house coupied by the in valid* in garri son there,. Betore this house a sentry was posted, whom, in the hurry and confusion incidental to the fire, nobody thought of re lieving. The private who was on guard, named Pankov, remained at hi- post though the house was burnt down, and then his ntry-box ; and it was not till after his own cloak had caught lire that help came in the shape of a non-commissioned officer, who released him. The Emperor has promoted the private to he a non-commissioned officer, presented him w ith 50 roubles, and had his name and his firmness immortalized in the general orders. . Distinguished.irri vats.—Among the passen gers by the steamer Europa, at Boston, are are two young English noblemen, who have probably corne over to make the tour of the ■States. They are Lord Althorp and Lord Hervey. Tire first is the son and heir o Earl Spencer, a descendant of the gn u: Duke ot Marlborough, and a neuhew o Viscount Althorp. the distinguished states man who w as chancellor of the exchequer in the Melbourne administration. Lord Hervey is the second son ol iht Marquis of Bristol. They arc both quite young, and twenty-five, and unmarried.. Yankee, all Iher.— Bayard Taylor says that a Y ankee, in walking in St. P burg, one muddy day, met the Grand Duke Constantine. The sidewalk was not wid enough for two to pass, and the street w as very deep in filth—w hereupon the American t ,ok a silver rouble from Ins pocket, shook itinliisclosed hand,and cried out: 44 Corwn or tail V* “Crown!” guessed the Grand Duke. •- Your Highness has won," said the American, looking at the rouble and stepping into tin; mud. The next day the Y'ankee was invit' d by the Grand Duke to dinner. .if Dangrnus PenintufUt.—The Montgome ry Messenger hn« been shown a counterfeit, S urpui'ling to be a five dollar bill on the lank of Georgetown, South Carolina. The counterfeit has a figure of liberty on the right hand side which is not in the genuine; on the left mind side of the counterfeit is an eagle—oft the gred bill a female head. The counterfeit can readily be detected, as all good five dollar hills on the Bank of George town have a red cheek bark. The color of the priuting is rather pale, w hen compared with tits genuine. The engraver’s imprint on the good bill is “Rawdon, Wright, Hatch A Edetl, New York,’.’ while on the counterfeit it is 44 Toppan, Carpenter & Co., N. Y." This counterfeit is dangerous, as it is a new issue irotn the den*, and one which lias not yet been expoted by any of the published detector*. Pro-Slavery Paper in England—The Day Book publishes the prospectus of an English newspaper, to be called the Manchester Cotton Press, the first number of which will make its appearance in November next It is intended to represent the cotton interest, of which Great Britain is the centre, act! is established by gen tlemen connected with the various branches of the cotton trade. It will also discuss the negro question and ‘the nature of the negro, and investigate the laws of his wise and human,'government, with out relation to the abstract theories of Mr.Wil- berforce and of Exeter Hall on the one hand, or to the Extreme and brutal ideas of the Cu ban plauters on the other." Exsi.isii and American Gi ns.—From the report of a recent debate in the English Fur Lament we extract the following t Lord Rivenswortb asked the .Secretary of War whether the government intended to send tbe monster gun east at Liverpool to China, iu fulfillment of the promise which they bud given to employ it against the ene my. And also why a " contract had . been en trusted by the government for the manufac ture of several guns of large calibre to a gen tleman in Americi, instead of being placed iu the . and* of an English Grin. Lord Paumure said experiments bad been made with the gun which fully established ir- great value and power, but he thought there wit no necessity for conveying a gun of such •normous weight ami calibre to China. He was not, therefore, prepared to give a pledge that the gun'would lie employed against the Chinese. With regard to tbe second question of the noble lord, he might state that the gov ernment had ordered six guns of an American gentleman namel Eastham, who had intro duced an improvment into the manufacture of heavy piece* of ordnance, and had taken out a px'ent for it. The guns six in number, hud been received, and be believed that the prin ciple upon wnieh they were constructed was generally approved. The guns could no doubt have been cast in this country, if Mr. East- hant i,ad wished, but it was ids own patent, art! he hud a right to cast them where he thought, fit. ‘I he Advantage ok Beixu Thin.—There is an advantage in being thin, People of spare flesh'oru generally tin- most, lucky individuals in the world. In a crowded omnibus, though ever fell, room tan always , be made for a thin spare-bored iudiviJual. lo a shipwreck, the spare mun always stauds the best chance-, for escape. If the ferry boat has just lift the slip, the thin Iran by a slight spring is sure to iatid on the deck of the boat, while the fa' individual leaps ioto the water. If the stage coach upsets, the man of rotundity breaks a leg or bruises his baud, while spareyLoncs es cape- totally uninjured. Ifj riDl/m a crowd, the former becomes vexed and irritated, but the latter creeps through tbe slightest fissures, and hor/ifr) on his way. If at a concert the thin roan finds himself surronn ed by crino line, he compresses himself into a ramrod, a ud suffers no inconvenience; whereas the fa* man on the eat behind him, who is sim.larly situa ted, fairly gioaos in his misery. We an-very thankful that we are thin. Is gal If if —George 111., having knighted a gentleman name ) Day at a levee held on tbe 29th of .September, said: Now I know ! qgjji King, for 1 have turn ed Day into Knight, and have made Lady Day Michaelmas. On one occasion, when I,is Majesty came out cf the House of Lords, after opening tbe MMioo, be wiid to the Lord Chancellor, ‘Did 1 d'-tiver that speech well? Very well, indeed, was the reply.

This last genius could not make the change; the friend of our M. f D. was perplexed; he turned his pockets inside out, but had noth ing but the four twenties—he owed just sev enty. Our M. 1). was appealed to change a twenty; he had not change enough- Could lie lend his business friend ten till they got back to the hotel, and lie might take the twenty in the meantime? Our M. D. could not be so small as to take tho twenty, but be lent tbe ten. I be bill was paid ; they walked back di-cu-ciog New York and its wonders, ami on their arrival our Southern merchant asked the Doctor to just look at the evening paper while tie stepped to the office to get the twenty changed. Our M. 1). was seen reading the evening paper several hours after that, but the Southeru merchant had not brought that change. *‘M. D." whs tbe next day a wiser but a poorer man. Imperial Prodigality.—The money that Louis Napoleon speuds in entertaining visitors causes much grumbling among the Parisians. During the sojourn of the king of Bavaria at Fontainblean, not l*-ss than 1167 persons were ted, lodged, and entertained in the most ex pensive manner by the Emperor, with the people's money. Hospitality on this occasion was carried so fur that not only board and lodging for the noble guests, but in most eases clothing likewise, was provided, in the shape of grotesque masquerades, imitated from the Grand Yenetie ol Louis tjuinze—nnd the but tons in all eases were provided at the Emper or’s expense. Of these, some were of jewels, some of plain gold, according to rank held in the hunt, or the degree of imperial favor en joyed by the wearer. To fill up the deficit oc casioned by this lavish extravagances, all kinds of mean inventions are in request—the pension ers of the civil list. re made to wail, the sale of tbe postage stamp restricted to the general postoflice, and‘the wind raised' in various ways. ‘/mpiity'jf Science.—Mr. Gross, of Taun ton, whs once showing his electrical chemistry, and displaying two Leyden jars, remarking that he could feed them with electrical fluid at any time when the state of the atmosphere was favorable; whereupon a grave old gentle man said solemnly, Me.

Dispatch thinks that our Fifth avenue (New Y’ork.) would-be aristocrats are very small petatoes, compared to the high English gentry. It gives an account of the latter as follows: About sixty miles from Loudon is the < • stale ofthe Earl ofSpencer, which comprises 10.000 acres, divided into parks, meadows, pastures, woods and gardens. His library contains 50,000 volumes, and is said to bo the finest private library in the world, The Duke ofRiehmond’s home farm consists of 23.000 acres, or over 'hirty-five square miles, and this is in crowded England, which has in all an area of only 50,000 square miles, or just 32,000,000 of acres, giving,-were the land divided* hut two acres to esu h inhabit ant, The residence of the Duke is fitted up with -oriental magnificence. Twenty-five race horses stand in his stables, each under the care of a special groom. The dishes ami plates upon the table are all of porcelain silver and gold. His aviary is supplied with almost every variety of rare and elegant birds, and large herds of cattle, sheep and deer are spread over the immense lawn. The same authority from which we gather these facts says that the Duke of Ddvon- sh ire’s palace at Chatsworth excels in mag nificence any other of the kingdom* He spends the whole of his enormous income] In the grounds about the Uou*c are kept 400 head of cattle, and 1,400 deer. The kitchen garden contains twelve acres, and is filled with almost every species of fruit and vegetable. A vast arbor .tarn connected with this establishment is desigued to con tain a sample of every tree that grows, There ia also a grass cofiservatory, 387 Icet in length. 112 feet in breadth, 07 in height covered by 57,000 square feet of glass, nnd warmed by several miles of pipe conveying hot water.
