MISCELLANEOUS. The Two Old Owls.—An Apologue. by vims. Two old owls lived in domestic quiet, in the oriel window of an ancient ruin. They had lived there for years, staring at the world with large round wondering eyes, but mingling no more with it than was necessary ; their experience of it had made them hermits. If, as would occa sionally happen, they ventured into the sunlight, they were blinded and bewildered by the glare, buffeted and insulted by the smaller birds, who made game of them. And so they secluded themselves in their mossy solitude, and lived there in plump, cosy, downy contentment. A few worms and mice sufficed for food; and for affec tion, each sufficed to each. One night a Hawk, an old acquaintance of their childhood, flew into their nest. The meet ing was cordial with the reminiscences of youth. They talked of old times till the dawn was gray and the twitter of the small birds rose sharp in to the morning air. They marvelled, indeed, to see how young the Hawk looked, with his bright restless eye, his slim logs, and barred plumage, like those of * gay young bachelor. He told them it was because lie had lived. Aud then he daxiied the old Owl with sparkling narratives of the miter world, and raised strange longings iu his breast to sec something of the varied forms of life so eloquently described. ‘Whenever I have ventured out by day-light,’ says the Owl, “the other birds have mocked me; so, thinking I was out of my proper sphere, I re turned to my home.’’ “That is because you hare not boldly taken your position,” replied the Hawk. “In the world you must take what you want—no one gives.— When I make mv appearance you should sec how the birds rush to the nearest wood and thick et, giving vent to their scandalized terror in va rious cries!” “Do they never fly after you f” “Sometimes; but that is only when I have got one of them in my talons. Coming here this afternoon, I carried off the wife of a most rcspec table patridge,” said the Hawk, with a libertine shake of the head. “I wanted her, and so I took her. The whole covey followed me, making an uproar like a. village of outraged women; they thought I wanted her for my seraglio. Not I—l ate her.” As the Hawk said this, the old Owl looked at him with envy and respect; bnt his wife “shud dered,” and thought the Hawk won Id be a bad companion for her lord, She w;is glad when he flew away, aud devoutly w felted he would never fulfil his promise, of “looking iu upon them,” Some fine day. The words of the tempter dwelt in the old Owl’s mind. Ho was moody, taciturn, abstracted.— Visions of the gay life led by Hawks tormented ’ him. The ruin where he had spent so many , happy years seemed now a monotonous regimen; 1 his old wife “twaddler!,” he- thonght: and he himself felt old, as he thought how much youn ger seemed his friend. The Hawk had been to Court, and indeed, wat related to the Emperor Eagle. Why should not he also, make a figure at the Eagle’s Court ? Why should he remain the terror of mice, when he might make the dovecots l flutter! f In this mood he saw the Hawl return, and gladly accepted the proportion to “see life,” in nis company; but afraid of his wife’s tears and reproaches, afraid of hia own conscience, be dared not tell her of what he was about to do. He slip ped away, fearing her dozing on her perch. She awokoto bar bereavement. ‘ r It would ha a long tafe to UH bow the truant Owl was disenchanted by reality thow yets his efforts to become a young daixhr like the.

The im age of his old and loving companion, with whom all joys aud sorrows had been shared, became an alternate anguish and alternately to his troubled heart, filling him with remorse and hope. As he I, dw into the ruin a huge, murderous rat slunk away into his hole, licking his bloody Ups. Ain ho flew up to bis nest a film overspread his eyes, for there, before him lay the ‘ mangled body of hia murdered wife. He had left her old and un protected;* he found her a corpse. A Powerful Pistol.—A gentleman of Alton, Illinois, has invented a pocket pistoj, which, it is said, will prime itself and fire thirty six limes in succession. It is only six inches iu length, though it will throw a ball with sufficient force to perfo rate an inch p&ttk, at the distance #& hun dred-feet , _L - * V - ak-! dMfo T 4 f * A Pkrfbct SpartAn.— ‘The Spartan women of Texas are not few, The personal history and ad venturers of the few we know, were we permitted to relate them as given us by their own lip, would fill an octavo of a thousand pages with wild tales of truth, far more strange than fiction. The following clipped from oue of oUr exchan ges is a specimen: Avery interesting and romantic incident Was related by Rev. Mr. Fontaine in one of his re cent lectures at the Richmond Athenaeum.— Speaking of the early history of Texas, he gave an account of Gen. Long’s effort to revolutionize that country in 1819. Gen. Lojig served under Gen. Jackson in the Seminole war, and at the battle of New Orleans. He married when 2‘2 wars if age, a celebrated lieauty and heiress, of Nashville, only 16 years old. When he formed the design L) invade Texas, Mrs. Lqng entered fully into his plans, and pM|Plt his disposal her immense wealth. With this he armed Hud equipped 300 men, entered the country, and was everywhere successful. Near the Gulf eoa9t he formed a fortification where he established his head-quarters. He wa elected President of the Republic—a full Cabi net wasappointed, and a regular government or ganized. At that time Iturbide was overrunning Mexico with the design of making himself su preme ruler of that State. Being jealous of the success and power of Gen. Long, he proposed to him through an agent, tha* they should unite their forces, which would enable them to strengthen and confirm their authority—the one over Mexico, the other over Texas. Gen. Long unwisely heeded the traitorous proposition. Be fore leaving the fort he assigned to his wife sev enty-five men, with directions to bold the place until his return. He soon after with the remain der of his small army, reached the head-quaters of Gen. Iturbide, who, as soon as he got posses sion of his rival, caused him to be assassinated.— Time passed on, Mrs. Long heard nothing of the sad fate of her husband. The seventy-five men under her charge became dissatisfied—provisions became well nigh exhausted, and they became calainarous to return to the “States.” She told them that Gen. Long bad directed her to remain until his return, and that she should do so— “dead or alive.” Every man deserted her to retrace their steps to their homes, leaving her with her infant and uurse, a young negro girl of twelve or fourteen years of age, the sole occupants of the fortifica tion. She kept the flag of stars and stripes float ing from the walls, fired the morning and even ing guns, and beat the daily reville. The Mexi cans and Indians thought the place was still gar risoned, and kept at a respectful distance. Time sped. A year elapsed, and still no tidings of her gallant husband reached her lonely abode. Du ring all this space she had subsisted by gather ing oysters from the beach, and shooting birds which flew about the fort. In 1621, Gen. Aus tin invaded Texas, and seeing a flag floating from a fortification near the Gulf, supposed the noted Laffitte had established himself there. He sent in a flag of truce, and what was his surprise to fiud this place, in the midst of inimi cal Mexicans and savage Indians, manned by a solitary woman! A Beautiful Incident. —A naval ofiicer be ing at sea in a dreadful storm, his lady was sit ting in the cabin uear him, and, filled with alarm for the safety of the vessel, was so surpris- \ ed at his composure and serenity, that she cried out. t “My dear, are yog not afraid ? How is it pos sible you cun be so calm in such a dreadful storm}” He rose from the chair, dashed it to the deck drew his sword, and, pointing it to the breast of his wife, exclaimed : “Are you afraid 1” --- She instantly answered, “No !” “Why !’’ said the officer. ‘ ‘ • “Because,” rejoined the lady, “I know this sword is in the hands of my husband, arid he loves me too much to hurt me.” “Then,” said be, “remember, I know in whom I believe, and that He who hold the water iuthe hollow of U’s hands is my Father.” m “i ■ The Power of Maternal Education. —lt was a mothers’* love that proved tins capacity of the idiot for improvement. Before any scientific experiments had been made in the education of idiots, a lady in Massachusetts, occupying a high position iu society, and whose husband was one of tbe prominent men of that State, had two chil dren, both idotic. When the terrible conviction of this fact was first forced upon her, she gave up all society removed from the city to a retir ed country place, and devoted the whole energies of her nature, stimulated by the strong undying affection of a mother, to their improvement. Tbe result was that they improved both physically and mentally, were able to go to school, received pri zes for scollarship, and finally graduated at one of our best colleges, receiving some of the honors which are bestowed on the few. If these chil dren had received the ordinary treatment, they would have passed through life wretched objects of pity and uis£Ußt, instead of being respected jjfosacrn of soefety. £’ Aa lacnwwr atthe Navy Department.—A gfiterfrora Washington, intbc Petersburg (Va.) H at the Navy Department on the 14th in * i a k # * theJSecretarr relative to some hung over the legality of the oeremWy <of her recent marriage with a lieutenant in the fiaval service. She states that some months since she was conducted to a house in this city, and there married to her supposed husband by a person ostensibly an Episcopal clergyman—that rings wens exchanged, and for a short time they Used together, when he was suddenly called off to the Pacific. Doubts have been raised as totbe legality the marriage, and she entertains a dark suspicion that there has been an imposition pravtioed up on her. Immediately on hearing the lady’s nar rative, Secretary Dotnan, with tut energy aud uprightness of character for which.he is so just ly distinguished, peremptorily ordered tbe lieu tenant to report in person to him, at se early a pe riod mb possible, declaring with emphasis that if it did torn out so be true that be bad practiced a fraud upon the ppor gfad, bis name should be strielren at once from the roll of the Na vy. ‘■ ■ •* GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 2, 1854. Discontent How universal it is. We never knew the inau who would y “I am contented.” Go wllehe you will, nm >ng the rich or the poor, the man of couiputeDOt or the man who earns his bread by the daily sweat of his brow, you hear the sound of murmuring and the voice of com plaint. The other day we stood by a cooper, who whs playing a merry tune with an ml to round n cask. “Ah f” sighed he ; “mine is a hard lot forever trotting rottnd like a dog, driving away nt a hoop.” “ Heigho l” *ighd a blnrk sinl'li, in one of the hot days, rs he wiped away the drops of perspiration from his brow, while his red-hot iron glowed on his anvil, “this is iile with a wng; nice—inciting and frying one’s self over the tire.” “Oh that I were a carpenter,” ejaculated a shoemaker as he bent over his lap stone. “ here I am from day to day, working iny soul away in making soles for others, cooped up in little seven-by-nine room.” “I am sick of the out door work,” exclaims the carpenter, boiling and sweltering under the sun, or exposed to the inclemency of the weather, “if I was only a taiior.” “ Tin is too bad.” perpetually cries the tailor, “to bo compelled to set pen-tied up here, plying the needle all the while—would that mine wore a more active life.” “ Last day of grace—the banks won’t discount —customers won’t pay—what shall I do I” grumbles the merchant, “ I had rather be a truck-horse, s dog, anything I” “ Happy follows,” groans the law yer, as he scratches bis head over some perplex ing case, or pores over some dry record, “ I had rather hammer stone than cudgel my brain on this tedious, vexatious question. And through all the ramifications of society, all are complain ing of their condition—finding fault with their particular vocation. “If I were only this, or the other, I should be content” is the universal cry, “ anything hut what I am.” So wags the world, so it has wagged, and so it will wag. 1 ■■■ retem ■ ■ ■■ - Great Britain and the United States.— An Important Movement. —Some of the letter writers state that at the close of the debate in the Senate on the 10th inst., on the Central A merican question Mr. Clayton distinctly indica ted the mode bv which mat question grill be come a very important one at an early day.— Having vindicated the treaty itself and showed that it excluded Great Britain altogether from Central America, and that her colony of the Bay islands was practical violation of the treaty, ho gave notice of his intention, unless the British Government reconsider the dispatches of Earl Clarendon, sent to the Senate a few days ago, to introduce a bill placing rt the disposal of the President the military and naval force of the United States, to enable him to compel Great Britain to fulfil the stipulations of the treaty, and pledging the revenues of the United States for the expenses such action. This will present a case that ‘Mp practically test the sincerity of the advocates}? theoretically, of tbe Monroe doctrine. And it brings the question under discussion also to a direct issue, involving an abandonment by Great Britain of her Bay Islands colony, which Mr. Cass believes she never will give up. 1$ will thus be seen that the de bate just closed was not a mere personal contest between two Se- ator’s but that, at least so far is Mr. Clayton’s remarks were concerned, it was n jess r.i to prepare the public mind for the >ar i- ii issue to which he, from the first intend ed to bring this subject. —i i .i...,. as* ■ —■ n.... .1 ■ Nature and Science. —Mathematicians la bored hard, for a long time, to find what figure could be used so as to lose do space ; and at last found that it was the six sided figure, and also that a three-plane ending iu a point, formed the strongest roof or door.

The vessel is 100 ft et long, with etigiues of 60 horse power. Externally there is nothing to distinguish it from a sailing vessel, except, the presence on each side of the hull of a curved pipe 10 inches in diameter, termed “a nozzle,” communicating with a water tight iron case inside. In the bottom of die vessel are apertures admitting the water into tbe water-tight case, with a horizontal wheel fixed on a crank-shaft attached by piston rods to die engine, and, on the steam being applied, the water wheel revolves with velocity, and the water ie discharged by dm noxxfea on-aaeh-side of the vessel.

DOMESTIC NEWS. Death of M. Bodisco the Russian Minister. \ lex. Je B<disco, the Russian Minister, at \\ ashiiigtoa, of whose illness, the tivo weeks past, our reader# have been apprized, died on Friday. Wecopv from the Tribune the following bio graphical notice of the distinguished deceased : “As to the precise age of the late Envoy wo are not informed, but it could not have been less than seventy, lie was a Wallachian noble by birth, and first entered the public service iti Rus sia about fifty years ago, without fortune, but endowed with some knowledge of the French language nnd a dear hand-writing, lie began in theb reau of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at St. Petershurgh, in the lowest or twelfth class of the tsehin or official hierarchy, which embraces all branches of the public service, and died of the third class, as a Privy Councillor, or in mil itary valuation, as a Lieutenant General. Du ring his long diplomatic career, he never affixed his name to any act or any treaty concluded by him, nor was he ever employed by the Govern ment on nny occasion of special importance. — He owed his good fortune principally to having been attached iu the quality of Se*;reary to Count Suchtelon, who after the secret interview at Abo in 1812, between the Emperor Alexan der and Bernadette, the elected hereditary Prince of Sweden, resided in the quality of an Imperial Commissioner at the headquarters of the Prince during the campaign of 1812 ’l3. With Count Suchtelon Mr. Bodisco went to Paris and thence to Vienna during the famous Congress which settled the affairs of the Continent. The Count was appointed the Russian Envoy at the Court of Stockholm, and Mr. Bodisco first Secretary of Legation. Count Suchtelon enjoyed great favor with the Emperors Alexander and Nicholas, and ou his death-bed some eighteen yean ago, re commended his Secretary to the Sovereign.— After the decease of his generous benefactor, Mr. Bodisco was for some time Charge d’Affairs at Stockholm, whence he was sent in the capacity of Minister to Washington. A few years after his arrival here, ho married Miss Williams, of Georgetown, a young American lady of remark able beauty. By her he leaves seven small chil dren, beside three grown up nephews, and a niece of whom he always took a paternal cam. Mr. Bodisco wasdist nguishedby remarkable financial abilities. Through the liberality of his former patron, and of the Russian Government, he accumulated considerable capital during his long service in Europe, which, joined to an intel ligent economy on his large salary here—more than twenty thousand dollars yearly—enabled him in this country to Carry On speculations on a large scale in lands and especially in the loans for the Mexican war. The property left ty him most exceed half a million of dollars. The Treaty with Mexico. Tho editor of the Charleston Courier, who has had an interview with Col, Gadsden, just re turned from Mexico, says that gentleman has, in the short period of his mission, accomplished a complete adjustment and settlement of all our difficulties and controversies with Mexico, and added a vast domain to our Republic, On his arrival in Mexico, he adopted no matic costume, but continued to wear the plain dress of an American gentleman, and that, he says sufficiently designated him, and secured him all due consideration and recognition as the A merican Minister, and in compliment tp him Santa Anna doffed his own gorgeous apparel, and received hitn-in a plain, but favorite dress of brown. When Gen. Gadsden reaehqd Mexico, Santa Anna claimed an indemnity qf $34,000,- 000, under the article of the treaty of Guadalupe, relative to Indian incursions aud depredations on Mexican territory, and insisted on the Bartlett boundary line, which excluded us from the Mesilla Valley. Gen. Gadsden at Grice holdlv and firmly. rejected the idea of in demnity altogether. He insisted on the Gra ham line, which gives us the Mesilla Valley, covering an area of sorao 1,300,000 acres, as the true boundary and intimated that Gen; Garland was on the line of march to asaert onr claim to the Graham line taking possession of the dispu ted territory: and proposed a. settlement of all difficulties on an entirely new basis of negotia tion. Finding the thing feasible, he immediate ly dispatched an express, to prevent the further advanee 6ron.

This cession embraces, too, the Ga ray route of the Pacific railway, through the Valley of Gife, (the very route designated by Gen.
