A Smaii. CoMrmtrxT. Iu ‘on o/i
--pi nf,” lately made by Mr. Dexter, Civil
Engineer, in behalf of tiie Montgomery
Rail Road, we find the following hft
fumi/nf tribute to the w isdom of the past
legislature of Georgia. The worst of the
matter is that the extract is literally trio,
and whatever reproach it may cast upon
, the past policy of the State, every one
must acknowledge its justice and submit
to the bitterness of the biting taunt. Yes!
to the shame of this proud and gallant
member of the confederacy he it said, that
. she has so far, lavished her treasure and
• strained her energies m schemes of in
ternal improvement which seem directly I
intended to weaken her own resources
and crush the commerce of her own flour-'
isliing cities, to build up, enrich and cm-1
power the worn out villages of her sister
States. Is it not time that the wisdom of
: our legislature should put a stop to this
self sacrificing course of folly, and look
to the interest of the people whose espec
ial representatives they are ! The peo
ple ot Georgia pay the taxes that are to
build up and sustain the improvements
*>t the State : a large portion of these
taxes are paid by the commercial cities
: within her borders ; when they are ex-|
1 pended let the benefits come to those who
have to hear the burden. But this order
j°! things has been hitherto disregarded, j
.All the energies of the State,all tiie treas
ure of the people imist he directed it j
1 seems in such a way as to benefit those i
wno laugh at our folly and taunt us for
our ignorance. Let our Representatives;
i read the extract, and remember that Geor-1
: gia looks to them now for a portion of j
that aid and as-i.- taiico which has been so
! profusely lavished oil others, if our own!
j state is not to bo benefited, if all our
works of internal improvement are to car- j
ry our commerce to strangers and end ;
in the impoverishment of our citizens!
and the <h Mruction of cities,in the name j
'of reason let them stop, and let other
States rely on their own resources to build
up their commerce and their credit. Here!
: . Mr. Dexter’s remark, read it.
I his i • carrying out one of the <!e
--.u ' of our charter which contemplated
ria branch rail road, to the Tennessee riv-j
iof ; and what vve could not do for our
,lives, the Stale of Georgia bus uuderta—
am for us. It has been aptlv remarked
that il the Alabama Legislature had had!
the entire control of the territory be
tween the (rihatt ihooche and Tennessee'
| rivers,they could scarcely have designed !
: a work more for the benefit of the eastern j
portion of the St ite, tlsan that which li is 1 '
now been undertaken by the State of!
j Georgia. And it may lie added that if the!
Montgomery rail road con,panv had lnd;
-the man lgemciu of tire funds of the State j
lof Georgia, they could scarcely have ap
propriated tri'.i:: more eikvtu d!y to pro-
I mote in .r own ultimate interest.”
A Got ut i.\ Mkijig.w. Tim papers!
give an account of a very strange pro
ceeding in a li!'" trial before a court in j
! Routine, Michigan. Benjamin Irish had j
t sued George W. Winner for the recovery!
of aln t mad:' upon.the result oft lie elec-!
rii-m. Among otlrer witnesses in favor of]
t!i" pi. nut.!!, was r '-nuel Nk Gantt, editor !
of the idm.nistration paper in Pontiac.'
ami a candidate for tiie State Legislature, i
i! an.; a.' 1 , ri bv the defendant whether I
; lie w.i ; interested in the event of the suit,!
rise replied that lie had promised tiie plain-j
| tilfto help him pay the expenses of the i
suit—had also promised to help five otli-j
evs to tar and leather the defendant, and j
j carry him on! of tiie village—knew the '
ballot box bad been robbed, and he did
not care who said it !i sd’nt.
'Flic defendant objected to receive ’
j Gantt’s evidence, and commenced ma
king remarks to the Court in support of;
j the objections. Gantt rose, drew up lii
'chair, and said, “If he (meaning Mr.
Winser,) says any iliing that insinuates
j against me, by I'll knock him down.”
The defendant to the Court :—“I do
not intend to insinuate any thing against
any body ! I only wish to show the Court
'the impropriety of receiving Mr. Gantt’s
'testimony, and I trust the Court will pro
tect me. It is a strange state of tilings,
; indeed, if I must be openly assaulted with
; a chair in a court of Justice. [The de
fendant recommenced his remarks, and
Gantt again rose, drew his chair, and
swore lie would knock him down if he
insinuated anv thing against him.,]
The defendant to the Court :—“Will
the Court protect me hy ordering an oili
' ecr to take the fellow into custody ?”
Esquire Henderson:—“No, I shant,”
[winking to Gantt.]
1 The defendant to tiie Court :—“Verv
good, sir. then I shall protect myself.”
I llerc the defendant drew from his pock
et a pair of pistols, cocked them, held one
in each hand, and proceeded with his re
marks to the Court, Gantt imricd pale,
1 and his lips quivered, lie dropped his chair,
j and retreated to the back part of the j
Court-room. Esquire Henderson then'
•said that the further consideration ol the!
objection would be postponed at that
time, upon which the defendant coolly
replaced his pi.-tois iu his pocket, anil!
took his seat.”

A MW Tragedy* at Rio Janeiro.
A correspondent has favored us with the
lowing particulars of a tragic scene
which has recently taken place at Ri„
Janeiro,, and whicli is now the all eirero
smg topic ot conversation in the fashion,
aide crclcs there. We tell the talc as it
is told to us. a short time since a mar
riage was much talked of i„ ,he upper
circles ot Rio Janeiro—that ofCount Al
pnonse de Zuiniga, a youth of twenty
three, with the Marchioness d’Ossara l
" ulow, who still retained some vestur’ os
° beauty. The Marchioness
; :it for the Count was gener
j ai N v acknowledged, but it was not less u
, niversaljy known that he sought but to
'secure her large fortune, and all precau
'tions had been unable to conceal l.is vi o
• cut attachment to Riccardina Soares \
Young and beautiful Portuguese dan
cer Die enthusiastic frequenters
ol the Brazillian opera proclaimed a matcli
lor the coinhined a " omplishments of
1 agliont and Fanny Elsler
On thejEthof July last anew opera
m wine , Riccardina was to dance the
Cachucha, attracted an overflowin" house
Kiccardma appeared, and was received
with tumultuous applause. The accla
mations became louder still when, on con
cluding the Cachucha, she advanced
striking her castanet towards the orches
tra. But at the moment she saluted the
admiring audience poor Riccardina
shrieked and fell backwards. She was
carried o's the stage in horrible convul
sions and the curtain dropped.
The report soon spread all over the
house that aquafortis had been cast upon
her, and that she was dreadfully burnt.
The whole house was transported with
rage and indignation. The instinct of
the multitude immediately pointed out
the Marchioness d’Ossara as the perpetra
tor of the deed.
She attended the performance Trie
crowd rushed to her box ; it was deserted,
Imt on tile red velvet that ornamented
some part of it, yellowish stains were de
tected, denoting the action of a corrosive
liquid. . All doubt was now removed.
Tne infuriated spectators devastated the
box. The curtain rose ; the manager
came forward and confirmed the Ltal
news, “Senora Riccardina,” said lie,
is in the most deplorable condition.
Her arms, her face, and her bosom, are
fearfully burnt ; it is to he feared that
she will he disfigured for life.” The yells
oceanic tremendous ; deafening shouts of
“Revenge!” “Down with the wretch!”
“A iva ! a Republics !” were uttered from
all quarters.
. In tee mean tune, a young man who
h td precipitately left the theatre, entered
tno :\i u<dimness s house and was soon
iu tier presence. .Moved at his sudden
appearance, but striving to dissemble her
agitation, “Dear Alphonso,” said sin*,
'to what circumstances am i indebted for
B'tis happy visit ? The Count looked :.t
her with fury, but could not utter a word.
“Yon are unwell, sir ?” added the Mar
chioness. ‘And Riccardina Soares
said lie, gnashing his tertii. “Ricardina !”
replied the Marchioness, smiling. “Ric
ardina is a person of so much talent that
tiie pubHc ngver can admire her as much
as she deserves.” The Count, after ex
amining her for some seconds in silence,
broke out with violence. “How. came
those stains on your dress Senora ? Why
jis that gown burnt ? In vain would von
deny the crime, ’tis you that have done
I the deed.”
j “>ve!l, then, returned the terrified
Marchioness, “it is I—but if it be a crime
; b i-s the crime of love,” and extending
, her hands, she endeavored to appease
linn. Ihe Count seized a cushion, and
j violently forced it over her face and head.
As she struggled she upset a table, and
'Die noise brought up her attendants. The
< omit rushed out ; a doctor was called
in, but the Marchioness had expired. Oil
I the same day the Count was seized in his
; house and taken to prison. As for Ric
•rdina Soares, slight hopes are eutertain
ed of her recovery. The corrossive li
quid had attacked the jugular artery, and
nothing could save her life but an opera
tion of the most dangerous nature, which
was about to be attempted.
Common Sensf. is much wanted. —
V. hen I see a man whipping ahorse, it is
; a sign lie lias not common sense.
When 1 see a man load up Ins team so
heavily that his axletrce breaks down, it
j is a certain sign he does not possess coin
i moil sense.
When 1 see a man driving a horse ns
poor as a crow, it is a sign lie does not
j feed him well.
W lien I hear a man telling how fist
his horse wiii trot, it is a sign lie’s more
i fit lor a jockey than a mail of business,
j When a man puts poor window glass
m his house, it is a sign he is no judge ol
j his own iuterc'ts.
When you see a yard in the rear of a
I house filthy, and old tilings rotting f |,r
the want of a little attention, it is a sign
of a sloven.
