Woodman, Spare that Tree.
BY GEORE P. MORRIS.
Woodman spare that tree ?
Touch not a single bough,
In youth it sheltered me,
And Hi protect it now.
*Twas my forefather’s hand
That placed it near his cot;
There, Woodman, let it stand;
Tby axe shall barm it not!
That old familiar tree.
Whose glory am* renown
Are spread o'er land and sea—
And wouldst thou hew it down ?
Woodman, forbear thy stroke
Cot not its earth bound ties;
Oh, spare that aged oak,
Now towering to the skies.
When but an idle boy
I sought its grateful shade,
In all their gushing joy.
Here, too, my sisters played.
My mother kissed me here,
My father pressed my hand;
Forgive this foolish tear—
But let the old oak stand..
My heart-strings 'round thee cling,
Close as the bark, old friend !
Here shall the wild-birds sing.
And still tby branches bend.
Oldtree! the storm still brave!
And, Woodman, leave the spot,
While I’ve a hand to save.
Thy axe shall harm it not.
T. K. Parsley.
Some weeks ago we published an article delete
rious to the character of the gentleman whose
name ataods at the head of this article. Our read
ers will remember the piece as that entitled “Rev
erend Swindlers." The pieae then went on to
state that Mr. P. in connection with one Ware,
lad committed a number of forgeries &c. Justice
to Mr. Puraley requires that we should say that he
had no connection with those forgeries, whatever.
—He has returned to his home in this County and
is apparently making all reasonable efforts to pay
all be justly owes. The rumor of his having'ran
away* and of hU having made a ‘disposition of his
property,' being without foundation. In publish
ing the article alluded to we but published what
was in the mouth of everybody and were actuated
by the purest motives, and. when we received in
formation that he was blameless in the affair we
thought it but right to contradict the report which
we had aided in circulating. Papers that copied
onr other article are requested to copy this also.—

The Ilog Crop.
The accounts from all parts of the West indicate
thattho hog crop will be a very large one In
many places the cholera is sweeping off large num
bers, but notwithstanding this prices are declining.
The Chattanooga Advertiser, of the 4tb says that
4.000 hogs have been received in that city, against
1.000 at the same time last year. The Louisville
Journal of last Thursday says :
** We learn from a c*ty packer who has been trav
eling in Uie country, that $4 60 is offered for hogs
gross. At Cincinatti they are brisk at 5 62 to
5 75, which is not equal to 4 50 gross. The Ga

says, “he has risen from nothing.'* How true

Election of Judges*
The Southern Georgian admits that the Acts
relative to the election of Judges prior to the
Act of I853-’54, made polities ii test "**/* arneq-
sure,** but the latter Art made it so .entirely.—
The evidence of the political test is, the time
fixed upon, -r.—r—r .— ^ ^ -v —
The Act of 1851-52 fixed upon 1st Monday
in October,-when the elections are altogether
political. The Act of 1853-’54 prescribes alio
the 1st Monday in January, when the elections
always partake less of a party character.-—
Therefore, this Act in question may make poli
tics a test "in a measure,** but clearly, Ihe
“measure” is not so great as that of the Act»f
1851-’52, and according to the Georgian's rule
it should approve, not condemn the Act of ’54
But really the distinction made, is one not tan
gible, and if it means any thing, amounts to a
surrender of the Georgians position. That
politics should be the “vo/e test” is an absurdity,
and what neither the Legislature or any one
else contemplates.

BRUNSWICK ESTATE AID.
The action on the Bill which passed the House
on Saturday, proposing to lend the aid of the State
on certain considerations, to the Macon and Bruns
wick Road, was reconsidered on Monday last, by
yeas 74, nays 63. Some regard the reconsidera
tion as a failure of the measure, and it may be with
the present Legislature, but the question is one of
growing importance, and the day is not distant
when it will be adop ed as a correct State policy
forevery meritorious Railroad undertaking Once
make the State perfectly secure from ultimate loss,
and we see no good reason why she should not aid
in developing her vast and almost boundless cotton
region. When Cherokee was in its infancy, she
favored that fertile section by constructing the
Western & Atlantic Road, the result of this under
taking has made that country the most populous
and influential section of the State, and the work
now stands as one of the proudest acts of Georgia’s
liberality.
The discussion for reconsideration was animat
ed and prolonged, Messrs Howard of Muscogee,
Kenan of Baldwin, Gordon of Chatham, Glass of
Newton, Colquitt of Baker, and Irvin of Wiikes

Georgia Assylum for the Deaf and Dumb.
This Isanother charitablelnstitution that commends
itself to the fostering care of the State Legislature-
This Assylum went iuto operation in the year 1846
at Cave Spring, Floyd county.; and now numbers
36 males and females, about equally divided. The
expenditure for building purposes have been over
829,000, and in its present enlarged state is capa
ble of accommodating over one hundred pupils In
order that all Deaf and Dumb Mutes may receive
Ihe benefits of this Institution, it Is suggested by
the Board, that the Judges of the Superior Courts
should charge the Grand Juries of Ihe several coun
ties, to bring the Asylum to the notice of the peo
ple in their presentments, and to recommend all
Deaf Mutes between the age of 7 and 24, to repair
at once tn this school sod he educated. By this plan
the well informed and the illiterate would alike be
come familiar with the objects of the Institution,
and the Board of Commissioners be able to secure
their attendance.
The police regulations of the Assylum are divid
ed between the principal Teacher and Stewards,
who take control of the Mutes at all times,and
amply sufficient to preserve perfect order and good
feeling. The system seems to be a good one, here
the rich and the poor are on an equality, all enjoy
the same food at the same festive board and served
with the same care without the least favoritism*
Every attention is paid to the health and cleanliness
of the pnpils, and thus far only one Hevere case

pounded and settled by the Supreme Court of
the United States, in the Dred Scott decision-
and therefore are inclined to evade it, if uot to
repudiate it entirely. Hence they are now in.
dined to take Senator Douglas’ view of the
matter. That gentleman, in his late speeches
in Illinois, while declaring bis adhesion to th 9
doctrines of the Dred Scott decision, ingenious
ly suggests a way hy which they may be com
pletely nullified, and the people of the South
may be as effectually excluded from the netv
territories, as if the Wihnot Proviso were applied
to them. He suggests that Slavery cannot ex
ist in the territories, without the establishment
of an efficient police system adapted to the in-
s'itntion of Slavery ; and as the power of local
legislation for the territories is to be exerrisd
by the people resident in them, they cannot In
compelled to establish any such system, and
therefore, Slavery cannot exist in the territories
for want of the necessary protection of public
law. Thus, if the people of the territories were
to act upon the suggestion of Judge Douglas,
Slavery would he as effectually excluded from
• he territories of the Union, as if the Wi!m<.t
Proviso were applied to them. And thus would
the principles of the Dred Scott decision be
effectually repudiated and nullified.
The sympathizers with Judge Douglas, in the
North, are inclined to adopt the views present

Scott decision. 'Hie doctrines of Douglas har*

cient we presume to cover the extension of the
Road to its contemplated junction with the
Main Trunk Road, 68 miles from Brunswick.
We observe too, that an instalment of 20 per
cent, is called, to be paid by the Stockholder*.
This look* like going to work in earnest, and
we congratulate the country upon the present
prospect of the extension of this work. When
Mr. Wheeler accepted the Presidency of this
Road, it was in operation to the Satilla River,
cbout 32 miles, hot the affairs of the Company
were in a bad condition—the Company had
been badly managed, was much in debt and
without credit. Out of this confusion M
Wheefer ha* brought order. According to the
last report of the Company, they are nearly free
from debt, and now we are gratified to learn
they will proceed steadily with the construction
of their I^oad.
Albany and the surrounding country is deep
ly interested in the good management and suc
cess of ibis work. From the point of junction
with the Main Trunk Road, to which we liave
referred, to Albany, the distance is about one
hundred miles, over a favorable country for a
Railroad, and we learn that it is the intention
of the Company to continue their Road to this
point. This would place Albany within 168
miles or Brunswick, and about 210 miles from
Savannah. We do not know what effect the
continuation of tbe Savannah, Albany and Gulf
Road to Albany, would have upon the Bruns
wick project It is not improbable that in cate
that Road should be extended that Brunswick
ttould connect with it at tbe initial point of the
Main Trunk Road, which would make the dis
tance to Brunswick about the same at by the
other route, and would shorten the distance to
SauQoab about 20 miles. . W* contend that

GEORGIA ACADEMY FOR THE BLIND.
The President and Principal of this Instulinn
presents to his Excellency, the Governor, a very
fsvorable and gratifying report of the affairs and
management of this charitable establishment. The
Academy now numbers 22, and it is believed that
a much larger number will be in attendance so
soon as the building now in a rapid coarse of con
struction shall have been completed. Every effort
has been made on the part of the officers, ro pro
mote the interest and welfare of this nnfortnate class
of onr fellow citizens, and it is a pleasing fact, that
their efforts thus far have been crowned with en
tire success. We learn from the report that du
ring the past year, not a single case of serious ill
ness, and no death has occured among the pupils.
The last Legislature appropriated $4,500 for the
support of this Institution. In addition to this sum,
there was in the Treasurer's hands, a balance of
81,340,94 from the proceeding year. From paying
pupils, sales of work, Concerts, and all other sour
ces, $762,40 have been derived, making *11 togeth
er $6,G03,34- The expenditures during the same
period were $4,614 7, leaving in the hands of the
Treasurer $1,989.27 lo defray their current ex
penses until 1st. January 1859.
The General Assembly for the years 1855, & 57
appropriated $55,000 for the purpose of erecting a
new and appropriate building; this building, the
foundation of which haa already been laid, must be
finished according to contract by the month of
December 1859.
The Trustees seem highly gratified at the edu
cational improvement of the pupils, and in Vocal
and Instrumental music, they have reached a very
high degree of proficiency. They, give receptions
every Wednesday evening, tod their aemi*annoal
Concerts and Exhibitions are very numerously at
tended. The pupils attend divine worship as often
as convenient, and a large majority are communi
cants of the different churches. '
