Tho experimental nurvey of ihU Rond nvor competed by Mr. KugonoT.elInrtly about tnowocks rinco, ami he baa boon engaged for novorattlnys past in making tho estimates and preparing for locating the route. Ho has kindly furnished us tho following fools. Tho road will run from Homo to Cave Spring, thonco, lonv- ing little Cedar Crook and tlio high rldgo of hills on tho loft,to the Statu lino,a ills- tadt» of twenty mllos. Tho Ktownh llivcr will bo orossed by a bridge of two spans* ©noli being one hundrod and sov* only-five foot long. Tho cost of tho bridgO will bo $20,000. Tho maximum grado of tho road will be 52,80 foot par mile, orono fool In one hundred foot,— 'Pile cost of grading will bo between • even and eight thousand dollars per milo—and tho superstructure—iron, . ross ties, Ac., $5,901,00 per milo, making a total cost—including bridge* and every thing—of less than $14,000 por mile, between $200,000 and $280,000, to con struct tho Hood to tho 8tato lino. Tho locating survey was commenced on yes- 1 ordfty and will bo coraplotcd to Cavo Spring by tho lattcr pnrt of this month wlioto contracts will bo immediately let out for tho construction of tho Road to that place. This port of the work will bo under tho supervision of Col. C. M. fenhington, and tho cars uro oxp»*ctod to be running to Cavo Spring before tho end of tho year. Wo learn that $350, 000 was appropriated by tho Alabama Legislature to ptirchaso iron for tho Solma A Jacksonville Railroad, which is graded to tho latter place. This will Hccitro tho speedy completion of that Road, and leave only thirty miles from Jacksonville to tho Stato lino without a Kaitroud.

Bolow will 1m) found an extract from thp Charleston Mercury on Diroot Impor tation, tlio immediate occasion of which is the card of tlio Merchants of Char leston to thoso of tho South and South west. They nro idontifiod with us in so cial political and commercial interest, and assuro us thoy have '‘facilities for obtain ing goods from Europe notsurpnsa- od by any,” and “claim to bo ablo to supply them on ns good terms, both ns to prico and credit, as tho merchants of any city In tho Union." Why should wo not patronize thorn In proforcnco to building up and onrlching that section which uses tho power thus conferred by us in waging an ungrateful warfare upon our institutions 7 Why should tho South bo commercially dependent on tho North? Laying asido all spirit of retaliation for tho ignominious trent- ihont wo have received at their hands, what reason can there bo why wo should not withdraw our vast and romuucra- i ivo t mdo from Northern markets, and transfer it to those of our own soction?' “Monoy is power" and upon none doos it exert a greater influoneo than upon our anti-slavery neighbors, and if wo if we curtail their profits we may ex pect to hoar such a clamor raised against froesoil agitators as will cause them speed ily to 'hide thoir diminished hoachb" At the ;>mno timo wo will dcvolopo and stren gthen tho sinows which will mako tho South what nnturo Intended she should bo, the greatest people on tho earth.— Shall wo bo truo to nature and to our- nolves 7 Or, shall wo uttorly fail to tnko advantago of tho moons nnd opportu nities thus placed within our reach? Will not tlio Morclmnts of Romo act in this mattor? • Tlio portinont suggestion to all shall a leading market ho built up in Charleston? Shall our Jobbors^ douhlo thoir business and manifold thoir num bers? When thoy do, importing houses, . ngonts of foreign and domestic manu factures, will be established horo, and bonded warehouses will rise on East Bay. Foreign manufacturers have no intrinsic interest in Now York. They -vrill establish a branch of thoir houses in Charleston whenever tho market will v arrawt. Trade is sensitive—it gravi lutes, and always will. Markets creato merchants, but merchants do not creato markets. Tho question, then, simply recurs up- on— how shall our jobbing-house* bo - ustainod and strengthened't Manifest- u only by interior morclmnts seeking a market hero. This cannot be done in a , lay ora season; but the commencement •nay '*e made at anv timo. Tho extent of c< untry, naturally seeking a supply 'market here, is large enough ami rich -Enough to create all the trade that Char teuton can conduct. Should this trado . conctautralo here—should our jobbers iiud their stocks readily exhausted -themanufacturers will directly estab lish agencies here, and wo shall possess .hi original market limited only by tlio amount and extent of its custom. Our hart- a is ample, and all original facili ties provided by nature. Democratic State Convention.

By order of the Ex ecutive Committee. largo meeting of citizens was held in Augusta, on tho 4th Inst, to con sider the policy of constructing a rail road from that place to Macon or Co lumbus.

This new firm commenced busim yostorday in their enlarged and greatly improved storo. Thoy have inaugurated in Rome In tho Dry Goods Tailoring trado tho cash system, nnd propose to soli nt ducod prices. Tilts Is the proper mode of conducting business. If Merchants sell on long crodits, buyers mint pay long prices. If buyers will pay cash they will get their goods much cheaper. This noeds no demonstration, but if any ono roquiros it, wo advise them to make tho experiment with this now firm, which is every way worthy their patronage. Wo are ghul toseo several othor Mer chants also, going in for prompt pay ments and shorter profits. Pass Hound tiik Rascal.—.Some two months since thoro was in this pl< scoundrel, calling himself J.

Hostile Legislation. Tho New York Times endeavors to ’J 110 . 1 ; of , tho ^prehension felt in tho Southorn States, in regard to the present aspects of tho slavery quos- t on, is without any real basis; and par- tlculnrly In reference to tlio attempts which li*Vo been mode in many North- ern States to render tho laws or Con gress inoperative, it asserts that tho .South will find no such array of hostile legislation as they have boon told exists. I liun— “UiiIpsh wo nro groatly mistaken, Ver mont is the only .State that has passed a Personal Liberty bill, or taken legisla tive Steps to defeat tho operations of tho Fugitive Slave Law. In several othors, attempt* to puss such nets halo Ik»oh made, but have boon defeated.— In Massachusetts such a bill was vetoed by tho Governor. Ill New York it was defeated in the Senate. In Pennsylva nia it wo* also stopped in its progress through tlio Legislature. In New Hampshire it was voted down, and a similar fate has befallen similar endeav ors in other States. Yet to road the excited appeals of some of our ultra Southern journals, one would suppose that nearly every Northern Stato had onseted tho most fearful ponnltio* against every man who should seek to recover a fugitive uuder the Federal law of 185U. Resolutions may and probably hnvo been passed by several Slate Legislature*, expressing opinions hostile to slavery and to tho Fugitive Slave l.uw; but wo need not remind our Soul hern ooteniponiries that thoso resolves hnvo no effect beyond iiiilueno- Ing some local election." Vkortaiilr Tallow.—Tho Agricultu ral Bureau of tho PntontOlfico has ro- coivod specimens of vegetable tallow, known to botanists us mgristlca schijera It comes from a nut about the *i/.o of a nutmeg, full of meat, which being mol ted, becomes a yellowish tallow, excel lent for candles.

I don’t care a d— u for the mee ting; I shan’t ntteud’iind see no necessity for calling it; but t voii see, some of our liest customers resale at the South and during the traveling season, on thoir way to the White Mountains and sea-slioro re sorts, have usuallv purchased of us quite liberally, nnd wu tlioughtif werigned this call it might givo us a little lift next sea son, and you know the meeting can’t do any harm, anyhow.—Poston Adas. Rkmarkadi.e Visitation.—Tho Staun ton Spectator gives tlio following state ment of a deep aflliotion visited upon a family. Of tho many families in this county who have furnished victims to tho malignant soro throat which is pre vailing in tlio Valley nnd elsewhere, none perhaps exhibit such a record of mortality as that of Mr. Richard Sly, of Cloy Forgo, a mile from Way no* boro.’ A fow weeks ago Mr. Sly bod eight happy ruddy faced children and only ono survives. As a correspondent who communicates tlio fact to us says, grief like this can bo assuaged only, “by tlio light that comos from heaven." Pensioners.—The following is a list of revolutionary soldier* on tho rolls of tho State of Georgia : Micajah Brooks, Polk county, Ga., 98 years. William C'oggin, Gordon county, Ga., 10* years. John Games, Sou., Murray county Ga. 107 years. John Nicholson, Union county, Ga., 90 years. Thrilling Incident. At a temperance meeting in Philadel phia, some years ago, a learned clergy man spoke in favor of wine as a drink, demonstrating it quite to hi* own satis faction to he scriptural, gentlemanly, and healthful. When the clergyman sat down, a plain elderly man arose, and asked the liberty of saying a few words. Permission being granted, he spoke as follows: young friend of mine," said ho, had long been intemperate, was prevailed on, to the joy of his friends, to take the pledge of entire abstinence from all that could intoxicate. He kopt his pledgo faithful!) for some time, though tho struggle with hi* habit was fearful, till one evening, in a social par ty, glasses of wine were handed around. They came to a clergyman present, who took a glass, saying a low words in vindi cation of the practice. ‘Well,’ thought the young man, ‘if clergymen can take wine and justify it so well, why not I V Hd he took a glass. U instantly rekind led his fiery and slumbering appetite, nnd after a rapid downward course lie died of delirium tremens—a raving madman J” The old man paused for utterance, and was just able to add— “That young man was my only son, and the clergyman was the Revered Doctor who has just (tddressed the as- nembly.” ■ gtgyTho Domooraey of Montgomery, Ala., in county convention assembled, have unanimously resolved that they will not support for the Presidency Judge Douglas, or any politician who ad vocates Territorial squatter sovereignty, or who denies tho power nnd duty of f Jongress to protect slavery in tho Terri tories. They also demand of tho Char leston Convention to deelaro itself in fa vor of the Drccl Scott decision and for tho protection of slavery in tho Territo ries by Congress. It is to be hoped that they will maintain this stand. VinRATioNS or tiie Hartii.—Professor Mitchell In a recent lecture, describing tho gradual tendency of tho earth’s or bit to assume tlio circular form, said its short diameter was gradually lengthen ing, and would continue so to expand until it xliould become perfectly circu lar, when it should again contract to its original shape and dimensions. And sr the earth would vibrato periodically and those periods wero measured by millions upon millions of years. “Thus’ ways Prof. Mitcholl, “tho earth will con tinue to swing back and* forth, and to and fro, in tho heavens, like a groat pendulum pealing tho seconds of eterni ty" jjigyTlio following appointments have been made by the Governor, for tho year 1800.

Bradford, Cupt. State House Guards.—Fed. Va.Wd oust. Down on Wise. Tho following is tlio conclusion of along- thy comment in tho Montgomery Ad vertiser on Gov. tViso’s speech on-tho ar rival of tho Southorn Students from tho Mod leal Col lego of Philadelphia. Read its Gov. Wise dons well to appeal to the Northern conservative*—hut when ho knows how pitiful tho minority to which those true men have boon reduced, when lie secs that not one of those who par ticipate even in the Union meetings, such as they are, that have been held in Now York, could bo elected to an im{»ortant office in the State of New York, ho should pa uso bofoto ho de clares to young men of tho South that the Union shall, if necessary ho pre served hv force of arms. Hour North ern brethren dosjre to prore their de votion to the Union, let them arraign nnd imprison or hang the congressional accessories^to the John Brown treason. Let Now York elect Charles O’Conor Governor In pinco of Morgan, or Sena tor, to fill Seward's vacancy. Let Boston send Everett to Washington, and keep Sumner and Wilson nt homo. Let Ohio put Viillandinghnm in tho scat that Cliaso now occupies, mid make her Ink® cities something besides n refugo for fu gitive slaves. Let the whole North unite and crush fanatical Abolitionism at the. polls, and then wo will begin to be lieve that tlio Union meetings are not humbugs and delusions. Then wo will join Gov. Wise in singing hosannahs to tho Union, for it will then be a Consti tutional Union. Then wo will consent to Gov. Wise’swrapning himself in thoso everlasting stars nnd stripes, and ascen ding to immortality, to the tune of Hail Columbia. If tho Governor then makes such a speech os the one wo liuvo bolero us, wc will think of it as a patriotic nnd heartfelt emanation from n true .South ern bosom, not us a truckling ami trans parent hid for the Presidency. But ev en then, we will never consent that the South shall go to war with the cotton spinners of England, either to make Wise President, or furnish professional occupation to the graduates o. Richmond Medical College. Homicide.—Near Palmetto, Ga., on Monday, the second inst., Luke Saund ers, was Sat ally stabbed by a man of tlio name of Thomas, wo understand.— Sunders lived about two hours after the wound was inflicted, lie was stubbed in the nl>doiiien, with n bmvie knife.— Tim difficulty occurred at the election precinct, a few hundred yards from Pal metto, in Coweta County, and origina ted jn a fight between a Mr. IVnn nnd some other party, when Sunders inter fered to separate the parties, and then l tlio*fatal wound.

Disciiaroe nr Ocerativks.—Wo under stand that over one hundred hands have recently been discharged from one of our largest manufactorie*. in cons®- from the South having boon countermanded. The factory has been in very successful operation for x or eight yours past, doing a very ex tensive business, the major )iortion of which is with the South. It is also very probable some fifty men will havo to bo discharged shortly, if there is not an end to the slavery agitation now go ing on, both North and South, thero not being work enough to keep them employed, even ut reduced wages. This factory when in full operation, furnish es amyloyinent for some four or fivo hundred men.—Philadelphia ’Pennsyl vanian, 31st. •Memory. In a leoluro upon “The Wonders of Science, compared with the wonder* of Romance," we find tho following illus tration of the astonishing rotentivoness of memory, nnd the importance of sto ring its countless cells with a worthily immortal treasure: “There is reason to believe, for in stance, that no idea which ever existed in the mind cun he lost. It may seem to ourselves to be gono, since wo have no power to recall it; ns is the case with a vast majority of our thoughts, but nu merous facts show .that it needs only some change in our physical or intellect tual condition to restore the long lost impression. A servant girl, for instance, twenty-four yours old, who could noithnr read nor write, in the paroxysm* of a fever commenced repeating fluently nnd promptly pnssages of Latin, Greek nnd Hebrew t audit afterwards appeared, that-, in hor (early days, a learned clergyman with whom she livod, had been In tho dally habit of walking through a passage in tlio houso that opened into tho kitchen, and repeating aloud the very passages which sho ut tered in hor fever.

Stars shono, and pure clew drops hung upon its bosom, and watched its sweet slumhors. Morn ing eamo with.its dancing breexos, and they whispored to tho young roso and it awoke joyous ami smiling. Lightly it danced to and fro in nil the loveliness of health and young innocence. Then came Hie ardent sun-god, sweeping from the east, nnd smote I he young rose with it* scorching rays, and it fainted. Now the gentle breezo which had been f ;uinholiiig over tho sea, pushing on tho inmelKiund bark, sweeping over hill nud dale, by the neat cottego and the still brook, turning the old mill, fanning tho brow of childhood—c’ftino tripping Along on her errand of merry and love, nud when she saw tlio young roso she hastened to kiss it, and fondly bathed its forehead in cool refreshing shdwors, and tho young rose revived nnd looked nnd smiled in gratitude to tho klml breeze: but she hurried quickly nwuy, for she soon perceived that a delicious fragrance had been poured on hor wings by the grateful roso; und tho kind breeze was ghul at heart, and went away singing through tlio trees. Thus chari ty, like the breeze, gathers frugrnneo from the drooping flowers it refreshes, and unconsciously reaps a reward In the performance of its office of kindness, which steal* on the heart like rich per fume to bios* and to cheer. Wu/T a Dear Little Heroine.—AVo find tho following in-the Memphis Pul- let in, of 17th. How sad and touching, yet how beautiful is tho loving heroic exculpation of the little angel: On Friday afternoon a fatal accidont happened tii a little girl, daughter of Mr*.

Truth* for Wives, domestic happiness, the wife'* in fluence is much greater than her hus band's; for tho one, tire first euiiso— mutual love ami confidence—being granted, the whole com fort ol the holism hold depends upon trifles more inline- mediately uuder her Jurisdiction. By her management of »nmU sum*, her liiisViand's respectability and credit nre created or dustroyd. No fortune can stand the constant leakages of extrav agances and mismanagement; and more is spent iu trifle*, than woman would easily believe. The ono great expense, whatever it may he, is turned over and carefully reflected on ore incurred; tho ineoiuo i* prepared to meet it; but it is pennies imperceptibly sliding away which do tlio mischief; and this tho wife alone can stop, for it does not coiuo within a man's province. There i* of ten an unsuspected trifle to he saved in every household. It is not in economy alone that the wife’s attention is so ne cessary, but in those nicotic* which make ii well-regulated house. An un furnished cruct*tund, u missing key, a buttonless shirt, a soiled table-cloth, n mustard-pot with it* old contents stick ing hard and brown about, aro several ly nothing*; but each can mine an angry word or euiiso discomfort. Depend oil it, there’s a great deal of domestic hap piness iu u well-dressed mutton-chop or a tidy breakliist-table. Men grow sated of beauty, tired of music, nroofton too wearied for conversation,—(however in tellectual;) hut they con always appro priate a well-swept hearth and smil ing comfort. A woman may love her hurthand devotedly—nmy sacrifice for tune, friend*, family, country for him —she may have t he genius of a Sappho, the enchanted beauties of an AniihIa ; but melancholy fact—if with these she fail to make lit* home comfortable, hi* heart will inevitably escape her. < And Staple and Fancy t»9 CHAMBER* k 71 READE 8T.*., YORK, M OST resiH-rt'iillv invite the at southern Merchants nnd varied stock or Got. •*, w b® complete bv the 1st ol Fc' II. 6.
