Divine worship . y custoth&ryser vices yesterday afternoon 10 V ie P re sence of a largo audience, in which we noticed the Mayor and other members of the City Government,, and many of the clergy of different denomina tions in our own and. surrounding cities. The galleries, as is the custom in Jewish synagogues, were occupied by ladies, the floor being reserved for the exclusive use of the male members, who remain covered through all the services. The Mavor, on this occasion, occupied the seat of honor on the right of the Ark. Before speaking of the services, a wc,rd or two descriptive of the building itself ma y not be uninteresting to our reader.*. Its location, aa we before remarked, is on War ren street, about half way between Eliot and Tremont streets* The lot upon which it stands is $5 feet front by 76 deep The building itself is 55 by 30 i ee t. It ’ranges east and west. In the rear of the place of worship js a room Used, as a school room, in which every afternoon the children of the congregation are instructed in the Hebrew »nd German, languages. Over this is an lOtiher room, where the Trustees, who man nge the affairs of the congregation, hold iibcir meetings. There are about thirty children who attend this school regularly. The portion of the building appropriated 3or public worship will seat about 400 per sons. It is finished in a very neat, but plain manner. At the east end is the Ark in which are deposited the Sacred Scroll: of the Law’. This Ark is in the form of a large case, eight feet wide by twelve feet eight* inches high. The inside is lined with blue silk. It is closed hy sliding doors, in front of which, and hiding them from view, are richly wrought curtains. On the top of the Ark, engraven in gilt - letters, in He brew, upon a white marble slab, are the Ten Commandments. Several varieties of choice flowers in pots, also ornament on the top of the Ark. THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN, g=gS TUESDAY APRIL, 13, 1859. Our Agent.-—Mr. F.W. Johnson is our only authorised Agent, in Wilkinson coun ty. We make this alteration from the fact that we are obliged, from the situation of our business, to send an Agent into those counties where our paper is much circulat ed, and are unable to keep more than one in that business. Strawberries.—Mrs. Virginia Skrine, ba3 our thanks for a nice parcel of Strawberries, sentua. a few days since, which were raised on her garden near this place. We take bach what we said last week on this subject, in so much as to admit that our lady readers do raise a most delicious articl e of the Strawberry, among them Mrs The Fate of a Learned Man.—A Hard Case.—There is a man in Boston, an old man of sixty, who graduated at the Univer sity of Dublin, Ireland; at the age of twenty- two was admitted as a surgeon in the Brit ish army, and in that capacity visited this country with the Ehglish; was present at the destruction of the public buildings at Wash ington City—has been in India with the British army—has been present during his services as a surgeon, at 4,000 amputations, an .1 fifteen severe battles—was shot twice; performed surgical operations on three wounded generals, seven colonels, twenty captains, and over eleven thousand officers of smaller grades. He has dined with two kings, one empress, one emperor, the Sul tan, a pope, innumerable great Generals, &c. He has held the largest diamond in his hand known in the world, except one. He has had the British Crown in his hand. Has bfen married three times; father to eleven children, all of whom he survived. Brokeu down by disease, he could uo longer piac- tice his profession—too ppor to live without employment—too proud to become a pau per, be sailed in an emigrant ship to this country three years ago; and this man of remarkable adventures, classic education, in astir or four languages, 60 years of age, poor, old and decaying, is now peddling oranges and apples in the streets of Boston! “We know what we arc—verily we know not what we may be.”—Boston Bee. Lola Montez, a mere female adventurer, is also in Boston.. While she is paraded through the public schools and feted by persons in authority, the poor old man, who “has seen some service” and led a virtuous and useful life, is left to peddle “oranges and apples in the streets of Boston!” These same men would scruple at nothing, except spending money, to help on a lazy fugitive slave. His skiu is black and aromatic, and consequently, he has peculiar claims to their fanatical philantropy; but the old man—he is white, has served his country, and is in dustrious. That is enough to cut him off from their sympathy. Though poor, and deserving, and learned, he is left to vend apples or perish, while the sanctimonious friends, of the negro are getting up riots, desecraliug the temple of justice, violating the constitution and damning themselves with perjury and treason. Away with such philanthropy! It is a libel upon the human heart.—Sav. Rep. Irish Potatoes.— Our friend Green Brantley, of this place, has sent us some fine specimens of Irish Potatoes, of his own raising. He has also sonre collards that are amazin’ 1 the leaf of one, which came up in March, measuring 19 1-4 inch es in width. Our cotemporary of the Sa vannah Evening Journal said that the last time he heard of us, we were devouring green Peas. Set us down for potatoes long collards and a small sprinkling of strawber ries this week, will you. The Weather. This is still a matter of fruitful discus sion, find we don’t like to pass it, without paying our respects to its versatile genius. We have been humbugged completely a- bout the fine Spring that we anticipated. So far the present Spring is not more than a week behind the memorable Spring of’49. We believe it was about the 16th of the present month that we had such a terrible cold spell, it is now near that time, and bar ring the snow there is not much difference, Last week we had three pretty considera ble frosts, and most of the week was cold e- nough for fires thro’ the day. We have had fine and seasonable rains, but they have always been succeeded by such cold winds, as to be of but little service to vege tation. A few warm days would advance everything rapidly, as it is, the verdure of the fields and forests looks almost cheer less. Grand Jury Presentments.—We pub lish this week the Presentments of the Grand Jury, a copy of which was furnished by the Clerk of the Superior Court, not without some grumbling as to the payment of his fee for copying the document. Now we do not know who pays for this service, but it is very certain that w’e did not, and shall not do so for any copy ordered to this office for publication ; and we shall not in future send to that office for any matter which parties may wish published, as it is no part of our duty to make such calls. Promoted.—I. D. N. Johns, of Macon, has been appointed by Gov. Cobb, Aid-de- Camp, with the rank of Colonel. We are glad to hear of this appointment, confering as it does an honorary distinction on a gen tleman every way worthy the notice. We should like for Isaac to keep cool, however, on the subject of “mustering,” especially if we ever fall into his beat. Ren. Scott. The Macon Journal <k Messenger lays this old soldier upon the shelf, in a manner quite creditable to the political affinities of that press, and at once cuts loose from any possibility of givipg him a support for the Presidency. The Journal, doubtless, speaks the sentiments of its party in this State, when it says that the nomination of Scott will completely sectionalise the Whig party. He is, without doubt, a sectional candidate, brought out under the patronage, and placed in that position before th,e country, by the Seward Higher-law men at the North, and the abolitionists and Freesoilers of the East and West. This is a good rea son why the people of the South should not support him, notwithstanding the trumped up letter said to have been written to Mr, Clay, long since, approving of his views on the Compromise, &c., and which never saw the light of day, and probably never would have been heard of, if his Southern friends had not commenced backing out, as soon as they saw that he was about to be forced upon them. But there are other reasons which should weigh every where against him. He has never done the country any service to demand this honor. He has been a successful soldier and skilful officer, and has enjoyed ;Jl the hono; s which r a military life could offer; and, well he has earned them, and we hope may ever wear them un tarnished by anything that can soil the es cutcheon of the brave soldier and heroic General ; thus far honors are well deserved, but until he has entered the councils of the nation and earned the character of a states man, the learned civilian and wise law-giver, let him remain where he is, and give place to those, who, w r hile he was fighting in the field, did no less signal service in the coun cil chamber and Halls of Legislation. The people are tired of these sham Presidents; they want somebody tangible and respon sible, and don’t want to go behind the Exe cutive Chair to find tha motive power and active principled the incumbent. We do not intend to say that the preseut Executive is one of this sort; on the contrary, we look upon him as honest and as independent an officer as ever occupied that seat; hut who doubts hut that his predecessor was juggled? and who doubts but that it Gen. Scott were elected he would be but the automaton of the same juggler ? It is customary, too, when such cases as these are offered for the suffrages of the people, to make a great hue and cry about politicians and dema gogues, as if the whole race of politicians were perfect Martin Van Burens, that could swindle the country out of its liberties by the merest trick. As for our own part, we would prefer to see a politician or a dema gogue President, than to see the same ani mal shuffling and pushing a good easy, quiet soul from one side of the Executive bench to the other, and thus keep the country continually embarrassed with the quarrels of partizan chiefs, who don’t dare to face the music. Nr. Wadley & the Augusta Press. The Augusta Constitutionalist <£ Repub lic, and Chronicle de Sentinel, are turning loose upon Mr. Wadley, the Superintendent of the State Road, like a “thousand of brick.” They alledge that he has allowed one of his officers to use favortism in trans porting freight, and has advanced the prices beyond the published rates. The Atlanta Republican of Friday last, goes into a long defence of Mr. Wadley, audshews conclusively, to our mind, that the charges are unfo unded—-that the publish ed rates have never been diviated from. In relation to his allowing the Agent at Chat tanooga to use favoritism in transportiug freight, the Republican says it is uncondi tionally false. Those of us who know Mr. Wadley in this county, (and he formerly resided here,) feel pretty certain that that charge won’t fit, unless he has changed mightily since bis Excellency made a State officer of him. He would be about the last man we should pick up for that sort of bus iness. It is a hard matter to get a Super inteudant for this State Road that will please every body, and it is not to be ex pected ; local interests will always be grow ling when they conceive that they are like ly to be injured. No man has ever entered upon the duties of a public office with more approbation than Mr. Wadley, and it is be cause every one who know the man, know that he is fully competent to discharge the duties and cannot be swerved in his admin istration of them. Compromise Vote.—On the vote which was taken on CoL Jackson’s resolution the House, the following statistics are given The motion was to amend and add the fol lowing resolution offered by Mr. Hillier, this State; Resolved, That the series of acts passed during the first session of the 31st Con gress, known as the Compromise, are re garded as a final adjustment and a perma nent settlement of the questions; therein embraced, and should he regarded, main t lined, and executed as such. On the section to amend Mr. Jackson resolution by adding to it the resolution of Mr. Hillyer, the vote stands as follows AJirmative Negative Northern dem. 36 Northern dem. 25 Southern dem. 39 Southern dem. 19 Southern whigs. 33 Southern whigs 1 Northern whigs. 12 Northemwhigs 29 Total 103 Total 74 After the adoption of Mr. HillyerVa- mendment, the House determined to vote separately un the adoption of eaoh of the resolutions. Mr. Jackson’s resolution was then ^adopt ed by the following vote : Affirmative Negative Marriage of the Monarch of Siam.— The reigning monarch of Siam, who is in his 48th year, at the pressing solicitation of his council and of the heads of the no bility, has entered into the marriage state, Northern dem 35 Northern dem 22 Southern dem. 39 Southern dem. 11 Southern whigs 20 Southern whigs 1 Northern whigs 7 Northern whigs 30 Total 101 64 Mr Hillyer’s resolution was then adopted hy the following vote : Affirmative. Northern dem. Southern dem. Southern whigs Northern whigs Total 36 30 22 10 98 Negative Northern dem. Southern dem. Southern whigs Northern whigs • It will thus be perceived, says the Wash ington Union, that if the fate of Mr. Jack son’s resolution had depended upon the vote of the northern democrats only, it with the view of continuing the succession, j would have been sustained by the triumph in the royal lice. The prmcess chosen is niajority of 35 to 22*—that is by a ma- the adopted daughter of the late king, and ^ Imotoone. ; ■ , • u .u cl ...

Mr. Miller and Col. Milledge, who figured in the Milledgeville caucus and added much weight to the move ment, were completely overthrown by Mr. Jenkins, who opposed the movement, and whose resolutions were adopted with but few dissenting voices.' The Constitution alist says of Mr. Jenkins, who was thrown aside the past summer by the same party : Richard is himself again.’ The meeting appointed the following delegates to the Milledgeville Convention : Hon. C. J. Jenk ins, Rob’tF. Poe, A. C. Walker and Win. McLaughlin. SSHT A bill is before the Massachusetts Legislature having for its object to nullify the Fugitive Slave Law. One ofits sections authorizes the State Courts to take any per son arrested as a fugitive slave, out of the hands of the U. S. Court, by means of a writ of habeas corpus. Another section provides for his trial by jury before a State Court, if desired by him. It is to he hop ed that a bill so palpably overiding the Constitution and laws of the United States, cannot become a law even in Massachu setts. — proposition has been made to com pel the owners of omnibusses running thro’ Broadway, New York, to continue their trips all night; each line to do duty every fourth night after 12. o’alock, and to have the privilege of charging a faro of ten cents after midnight. Gov. KossuTH.-rGov. Kossuth passed through LaGrange aud Augusta the past week, on his way to Charleston, whence he departs North. Whig National Convention.—The Whig U. S. Senators held a caucus in the Senate chamber, at Washington, in Satur day, and appointed a committee to confer with a committee of the Whigs of the other House, for the designation of the time and place for the assembling of the Whig Na tional Convention to nominate a President and Vice-President. It is presumed the Convention will be held in Philadelphia, though 6ome prefer that New York or Cin cinnati should be selected. The 1st of July will probably be the time fixed for its as sembling. Nomination of Gen. Cass in N. York. —Thursday evening two important meet ings were held a.t Tammany Hall, N. York, of the Old Men’s and Young Men’s Gener al Democratic Committee. In both Gen. Lewis Cass was strongly endorsed as the Democratic candidate for President of the U. States. The Young Men’s Committqg, besides declaring him as their choice, de nounce as unworthy of confidence ai^>-del egate to the National Convention who does not use every honorable effort to secure his nomination.

The Senate has passed a hill au thorizing the Postmaster General to enter into a contract for the conveyance of the United States mail in steamers of not less than 800 tons burthen, tri-monthly, be tween New Orleans and Vera Cruz touch ing at Tampico, at a cost not exceeding $100,000 a year. The proposition that the steamers should he so built as to be “abaptedto war purposes” was defeated. That provision would have greatly enhanc ed the expense of the steamships, and ren dered the mail service more expensive. Otto and Jenny Lind Goldschmidst will sail for Europe iu the steamer Atlantic in May next, but previous to their depar ture, it is said, they will give three concerts iu New York. Conncticgt Election.—The elections in this State have resulted in favor of the De mocracy. of the slavery agitation, if he and his organs can get one up—-all for Gen. Scott’s bene fit, of course.” Fugitive Remanded.—Horace Preston a fugitive slave and the property ofWm. Rose of Baltimore, has been remanded to his owner after a full and fair trial in New York City. A personal collision occurred during the the trial, between Mr. Busteed the attorney for the claimant, and Mr. Jay, Abolitionist attorney for the slave, in which the latter had his eye blackened. The Compromise—The House of Re presentatives passed Col. J. W. Jackson’s resolution in relation to the Compromise, by a majority of 100 to 65. We published this resolution several weeks since, which the reader will remember was a recognition of the binding efficacy of the Compromise, and deprecating all further agitation of the questions growing out of those measures.

Female Dentists.—The project, saj® the Medical Gazette, of educating female Dentists, is now gravely discussed, on the ground that it is indelicate for operations on the teeth of ladies to be performed by gen tlemen.

The first Newspaper in Virginia.— Palmer’s Register states that the first press in Virginia was imported by the city of Williamsburg in 1780. The prices of ad vertizing and subscriptions of those times are thus stated in the following extract from the terms of the paper, contained in its first issue: “All persons may be supplied with this paper at. fifty dollars a year, and have ad vertisements (of a moderate length) insert ed for ten dollars the first week, and seven 'dollars for each week after..”. It should be recollected too that this was a weekly paper, making the cost to subscri bers about ninety-six cents a number. In the house, Mr. Christopher Wil liams, of Tennessee, one of the soundest whigs in Congress, on Thursday, made a strong speech against the choice of Gen. Scott as the Whig candidate for President, the ground that he had not yet expressed, directly and implioitly to the public, his decided approbation of the compromise measures. Public Meeting. According to previous notice the Union party of Washington county, couvened| at the Court-house in Sandersville, on Tuesday the 6th inst, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Union Convention to be held at Milledgeville pn the 22d inst. On motion of John Wise, Esq., Silas Floyd was called to the Chair, and Dr. John B. Turner requested to act as Secretary. ; The meeting being organized, E.S.Lang- made explained its, object, and: moved that Mr committee of five be .appointed to report to the meeting, the . names of four suitable persons Jo represent the couuty in that Con vention* The Chair appointed the following gen tlemen that committee: John H.

The English mail steamship Teviot ar rived at Southampton on the 13th ult., with advices from Buenos Ayres to the 2d., Montevideo to the 5th and Rio de Janeiro to the 12th of February. FROM THE LONDON TIMES, MARCH 17, We have received with great satisfaction the intelligence of the decisive account at Santo Lugares, on the 3d of February, which has not only terminated the long course of hostilities on the banks ofthe Rio de le Plata, but has overthrown the gov ernment of Dictator of Buenos Ayres and driven him to seek the protection of a Brit ish vessel. The first corps of Resist, who were sent to meet the enemy after the paa- sage of the Parana, deserted at once to the combined forces under General Urquiza; and the moral power of the Buenos Ayrean Government was destroyed before it played its last stake upon the plain of Santos Lu gares, a few miles from the capital. Rosas seems to have foreseen his down fall, and thought it inevitable—for the last few weeks his administration were employ ed in collecting means to support himself vigorously for the defence of the territory. The bulk of his vast property, consisting in lands and herds of cattle, will ef course, fall to the victorious party, and ought properly to revert to the State. He found it his interest to favor and pro tect British commercial interests at Buenos Ayres but his whole policy was directed to the establishing the ascendancy and mo nopoly of that port over its neighbors and rivals. He therefore continued to blockade aud ruin Monte Vider by a slow system of hostilities; and he succeeded iu closing a- gainst the commerce of Europe the maguifi- cent rivers which afford such natural facil ities of access to the vast territories of Santa Fe. Entrerios, and Paraguay. He divi ded his army in order to carry on hostili ties and establish a dependent authority on the northern shore of the Rio de la Plata, in defiance of all the engagements which se cured the independence of the Banda Ori ental. Hence his forces were beaten in do tail, and the men who had served in his ar my under Oribe joined the subsequent march of Urquiza; they formed the left wing ofthe army at Santos Lugares, where they murdered their Colonel and again en deavored to desert to their old chief, but ere cut to pieces by the cavalry of En- trerois. The operations of Gen. Urquiza since the first junction of the Brazilian and Entrerois forces in the neigh horhcod of Monte Video, seem to have jbeen conduc ted with skill and resolution. It is a remarkable circumstance in this campaign, that the battalions of the late Schleswig Holstein army, which passed in to the Brazilian service at the termination of the hostilites in the Dnchiea, should have arrayed the energy and strength of Northern Europe against the degenerate militia of America; for the Holsteiners rode down Rosas and his Guachos as a Crusader may have dispersed a swarm of Saracens, or as the Varangian body guard ofthe By zantine Court towered over the Greeks of the Lower Empire. But the native popu lation has everywhere supported the move ments of the liberating army, increased i a forces, provided for its wants, and covered, its rear: and all the objects of the late in tervention of England and France are now accomplished by indigenous forces. 1 he fall of Rosas i« unquestionably the most important revolution that has taken place in South America since the declara tion of ind< pendence, for the States of the Argentine Confederation are those in which, from their geographical position from’ the facility of imigration, from their climate, and from the freedom of labor, Europe fee’s, the strongest interest. It is of course pre mature to conjecture what changes will he effected in the structure of the government but we may hope that the ties ofFederal union and equalitj will he extended over the several Republics which have hitherto only been united in name, and that the same facilities and security of trade and ac cess will be extended to all. The prorai nent part which General Urquiza has ta ken in these operations, points him out as the most suitable head of the Argentine Confederation, though he is said to have declared that he confines his ambition to the governorship of the State of Entrerios: but if he .should attain the higher dignity by hismilitary success confirmed hy the will ofthe people, we trust he will remem ber that nothing has hitherto been wanting to insure the prosperity of these fertile and unbounded regions but freedom and peaoe. Military governments may to a certain extent, be necessary to establish the au thority of law in a country where it has hitherto been so little known, but the fu ture welfare of the Argentine Confedera tion depends on the progressnlf its civil in stitutions. Those States have no enemy to fear but themselves, and no hostility but the excess of their own civil discord. The termination ofthe war will be followed as soqd as the fe establishment of orders is se-. cured, by a rapid immigration especially from the southern parts of Europe. For there is no part of the New World where the natives of France and Italy appear to establish themselves with greater readi ness; and the present condition of those countries is one that naturally disposes large numbers of enterpripising and able minds to try their fortune in new regions. The cost already sustained by Brazil, » >. equal to £3,800,000 sterling, '
