[For tho Rome Courier.] Peterson's Premium Album. “Our premium to the. persons getting up clubs for 1859, will be a Lady’s Al bum, in beautifully embossed gilt bind ing, with gilt edges, and with various colored writing paper. It will also be embelished with several elegant and choice steel engravings. Altogether it is the most superb affair we or any oth er Magazine haveevei offered to the pub lic.” The above met my eye, as I was look ing over several Magazines, deliberating which I should subscribe for, the com ing year. That settled the matter, of course in favor of Peterson, and I ac knowledge it was a great inducement. A beautiful Album, elegant engravings —superb affair ; so off I trudged thro’ rain and mud, to make up the required number. Afterseveral disheartening fail ures, I at last came home delighted how exultingly I told that I had suc ceeded! Nothing, then to do, but send on immediately, and became the pos essor of that elegant Album. What a liberal man! thought I, but O stars! what-a fall! A few days ago a package arrived containing the anxiously looked for Magazine and Album. How far it exceeded my anticipations! Do you not envy me, girls? I knew you would shout and clap your tiny hands, as all did at home, (except poor me) at the ; first glimpse of my treasure, it actually measures 5y6 ! Who would have thought? And then the elegant and choice engravings—what an enormous expenditure! Five pictures, most of them possessing superior advantages over those of ordinary artists—the lan guishing and squint eyes, so happily united iu one face, giving.a pleasant ef fect. Variety is said to be the s r of life, but lam old fogy enough to like regularity in eyes. There’s our illus tiious country-woman, the Mother of Washington. History failed to record that she unfortunately possessed an eye in her temple. And poor George! a well enough looking child, but how intensely he must have suffered when his fingers were ground, giving them a decided hawk-claw tendency. The cas ket containing these precious persona tions of such celebrated characters, has a portion of a common sized gold leaf spread upon it, making it a most valua ble acquisition to a drawing room table! Have any of my city sisters made up a club; and been so liberally rewarded ? I would like to know, if we have all shared alike. Perhaps we country girls have so long existed in a rustic atmos phere, that we are no good judges of beauty; gazing at these cloud-capped mountains gives us too lofty ideas of the beautiful, that unfit us for the ap preciation of beauty in miniature ; if so I stand corrected, and will endeavor to modify my taste, but until I am con vinced of my error, I must say, for Mr. Peterson’s benefit, I do not think the premium lovely or elegant. Hand round the love of an Album, Mr. Editor. 1 Such a superb affair should not be suf fered to remain unhonored and unsung; its fame, at least, should be spread abroad. In short, it is just such a toy as an old and very penurious bachelor, would buy from a book-pedlar for twen ty-five cents, and present to a little Miss of about six years of age. Mr. Peterson has yet to learn, that liberality may be economy, and that Southern girls can not be caught by Yankee acuteness, more than once. A Country Girl, Spirits.— Various kinds of spirits, says the States, the/c be now a-days, which bother people’s brains and make them crazy : first there is spirits distill ed from drugs, alias whisky, alias rot gut ; next there is “the spirit of the age,” distilled from the noddles of fools and fanatics ; then there are spirits de rived from delusion or the devil, and acting through the medium ol imposi ters or insane individuals ; then theie is the spirit of dissension, which dis tracts our people about Africans in Al abama and other places Potomacward, and so on. The first is cheap, but it gives people the choice, helps the coffin trade, ena bles half-made physicians to finger fees, sends widows wailing to the work house, gives people sore skulls and bruised bones, sustains sponging in municipal matters, imposes taxes, and sends souls to the styx. ] The second is a cheat—a sham.—- : There is no more spirit in this age than J in any past one, and not half as much 1 as in some of them, as may be seen b* the mode in which we are hutnbuggJ by “the whole world and the rest°f mankind,” Bull in particular. In Ac t» ■ no'age has a spirit peculiar to D e lf; for since Adam was a boy, down/* this year of our Lord 1859. man h;’ Deen ever the same.

A remarkable fatality, says the Augusta Dispatch, appears to have recently attended the organs of his ad ministration. They are everywhere deserting the President or dying out, notwithstanding the liberal patronage extended to them by the government. A Wash ngton correspondent has col lected the fellowing instances of this decay in the weapons of the adminis tration. The Ohio Statesman has pas sed or is about to pass, out of the hands of its admininistration editor into those of Col. Manypany, an avowed opponent of the general administration. The decay of the administration papers in Illinois is admitted. In New Y’ork city, the only successful administration paper is the Herald, which did its best to destroy Mr. Buchanan’s private char acter before his election, and which now weakens him more by its support than it ever damaged him by its abuse. In Kentucky, the Louisville Democrat is giving Mr, Buchanan extremely cold comfort. In Missouri, the Republican —the leading democratic paper of that State is for Douglas.. In Virginia, the old Richmond Enquirer lias taken ’ ground against the administration. — Every known democratic paper that has advocated the administration policy has been embarrassed by the association l , and has been compelled in some wav, to quality its support. There is much significance in this decadence of the administration organs. Merchants and all other business men will do well to read and to remember the following hit of advice by Stephen Girard, the Philadelphia millionaire: I have always considered advertising —liberally and long^—to be the great medium of success in business, and the prelude of wealth. And I have made it a rule, too, to advertise in the dullest times, a long experience having taught me that money thus spent is well laid out—as, by keeping iny business con tinually before the public, it has secured me nwiny sales that I would otherwise have lost.- The Emlowiuent Fund of SIOO,OOO, for Randolph. MacbfifCollege,' has been fully raised? i TERMS—•»,OO PER ANNUM, Do Something. The beginning of a hew. yens, says the Savannah Republican, is the time for beginning life anew, toad who have failed to improve the pa»V We do not know a lesson more pectiliaiiy adapted to the period than the following, which we take from the Louisville Journal.— It is as applicable to Savannah and to Georgians it is to Louisville and Ken tucky. Idlers snd loafers abound the world over—men who commence life wrong, and who, if they do no positive harm, hang like dead weights to the skirts of society, consuming everything and producing nothing, and leaving the world worse off for their existence when they shall have passed away; To all such we commend the sober, and salu tary reflections that follow : “Do Something.— lt is truly a mel ancholy spectacle to see so many drones in the great and busy hive of human life. We daily see young men of edu cation, and who possess more than or dinary natural gifts, lounging about as listlessly as if there was nothing in the boundless universe worthy of their at tention. How utterly lost to manhood are many sons of wealthy parents!— No ambition, no hope, no ardent de sire ever spurs them on to leap from ob scurity into the broad daylight of last ing renown. Their lives, which should be full of noble achievements, are daw dled away in unholy dissipations. If such is become the universal effect of wealth on the rising generation, it were far better that poverty should forever be the handmaid of our sons and daugh ters. In the name of common human ity, we call on young men to do some thing. Do not sneak from the cradle of infancy to the coffin of oblivion with out at least one great effort to prove you have not lived in vain. Remember that fame and honor are never achiev ed with folded arms and “masterly in activity. ’ When the sublime wisdom of common sense taught Columbus there was a new world he did not preach his belief with his idle hands and lack lustre eye. The wonderful discoveries in science and art were not made by men who regarded life as a holiday of idleness. If you would achieve fame, if you would win the applause of your fellow men, ifyou would gain your own self respect, then, in the name of all that is good and sacred, we call on you to go to work and do something.” We in correction of an error into which young men are too prone to tall. The great difficulty in a large majority of cases is, not so much that they are unwilling to work, but that they can find nothing to do that suits their position in life—“l can get a place, but the business is not exactly respectable,’' they say. This is a fatal stumbling block to many, and it is bas ed upon wrong views of life. There are distinctions in business positions, ’tis true, and it is right that there shouM be ; but there is none so humiliating and degrading as the position of an idler. If you cannot start as high as you wish, take something lower and do it well. The world will think all the the better of ycu ; ami no matter where you start, stick to it and you will be sure after a while, to work yourself into the position that your talents and respecta bility entitle you to. Some few years ago a man of superior mechanical en dowments, and who had the good for tune to be born in a section of the coun try where young men are reared to labor, came to the State of Georgia, poor and friendless. lie had capacity enough for any position in his peculiar department of labor, but needing em ployment, and too conscientious to be idle, he donned bis apron of leather, and entered the shop as a blacksmith. That man is now at the head of a great southern railway, with an annual salary of twelve thousand dollars, and his name is mentioned with praise through out the South. Here, then, is a practical lesson for the young men of our States and coun try. It is a mistake to suppose that the world is looking down upon you when you are Struggling near the bottom of of the hill of life. It is your energy then that attracts the admiration of men and that proves a constantly accumu lating investment, which, properly hus banded, yields its usury for all time to come. We then repeat, do something, and be not afraid that any honest employ meat is beneath you. It “will put money in thy purse,” save you from the infinitely worse humiliation of a de pendence on others, and perhaps from a life of shame and crime. The Art of Conversation.—How many a passed damsel of three or four and twenty, when in our fast country 1 they are almost out of date, had she cultivated the art of agreeable conversa tion, might draw the most ardent ad mirers of the pink and white bell of fif teen to her side, if they had brains (and if they had not, uooroe would court their society,) by being able to chat sensibly ; and pleasantly on the current affairs of the day. This accomplishment, unlike , music and dancing, requires no theatre , for display—“is iu portable form' ati& very convenient”—as newspaper adver tisements say of some invention ; like old wine, improves with age ; is valua ble, as well for its rarity as its intrinsic J merits is useful in the domestic circle, and might be made very ornamental in public ; and, in short, as the' able lecturer has shown that we need it, sup pose we each and every one endeavor to improve on this point, and I do not ■ despair of hearing of conversational classes in our schools, where young la dies and gentlemen shall be taught the art of an agreeable interchange of ideas.
