Flora spread for Beauty a carpet of verdure and wreathed her with a crown of flowers. Nature and Art were emulous of their charms, and each lent its aid to render the scene and the occasion pleasant and happy to aU, sadfso for as we can learn, with perfect success. -Un the evening there was a joyous social gath ering of young and old, a sort of finish to the fes tivities of the day, the recollection of which, we may presume, dispelled for on* night at least, the eankering thoughts of a hard-fact world and its tronblee. £ Nawiow F.scafk.—We leern that at the Mny party on Tuesdny night lost, the horse of Rev.

Mrs. Rohinaun was in the barouche, and but for her self-possession in retaining her seat, would probably have been seriously, if not fatally injured. As it was, she received no hurt at all nnd we arc happy tn learn thnt Mr. Robinson himself was but slightly injured. - ■■ i-- ro m Infirmary.

See their card. ■’ -i 1 -roroM ■’ ■ 1 —s Destitution in the Up Country. Our up oountry exchanges draw a sad picture of the deetitution prevalent in their respective neighborhood*. The Rome “Southerner” says: “ We hear of tearful appeals being made to our provision merchant* in this city; by per*ms whom Providence has bereft of the means of support and substance, that would awuknn the philanthro py of tho veriest miser, and melt the roost callous heart.’’ A Writer in tho Daltsn “Times” says, that more than half of the people in thut settlement are without corn and without money. Tho Marietta “Advocate” also speaks of tho destitute poor in its immediate vicinity. Surely it is the duty of those whom Providence has bless ed with nhundunce- to come to the relief of the afflicted in times like these It may l<e designed to try our gratitude for Hie favors and if we come short of thut measure of duty which the golden rule enjoins, it may be that an impartial Judge will enter it to our condemnation. We believe in the Almighty's wisdom of purpose, and it cannot be that he will afflict the innocent poor without taking judgment upon the bard-hoarte<l avarice of their uneympathising rich neighbors. May the record stand clear an that great day when all shall be judged by the standard of good and evil done in the body, nnd may we all ehnre In the ap proving sentence, * Even as ye have done it to the least of those, ye have done it to me also.” ■■ 1 ■ ■ ■ i “Bam” in Council. A friend writes us from Macon that there is sn influx of some rix or sight hundred strangers there who ore strongly suspi owned of being on the busi ness of “Sam.” He says ooiyeeture is rife among the outsiders os to th* purpose* of the strangers, but from the well known inulligenos and high nhsrssSsr of many of them, no detriment in ap prehended to any trno interest of th* people or State. It is shrewdly suspected that a body of man numbering some of th* most worthy mem bers of both political parties, and evidencing in their past history traits of exalted virtue nod .fffliKjfi mast have a geod purpose ia thus assembling together.

Tbe legislators, ia chartering tiro city corporation of Oifffia, gave to tbs Mayor and Csaad! sf Griffin Dm power to issns license* to rtUtii intoxicating liquarn within the corporate limits of tbs city, according to th* erdhmnsro thereof, and snantsd that ns sns rfioald retail within those limits with out obtaining snob license. For n number *f years back tbs city au thorities have demanded is* tbs foe for a license, the sum of fifty dollars. This fee has been paid by a number of individual* who have followed tbs business of retailing ardeat spirits. in tbs month of Febrnary last, th* city Council, in order to add to the finanoes of the city, as well as concentrate tbs retail business into fewer hands, and the mors easily thereby to detect all violations of the laws, which are ao frequent about sueb place*, passed an ordinance providing that from and after th* first day of May then next, (tbe commencement of the next municipal year) the fee for a license to retail ardent spirits within the limits of the city should be five hvmobed dol- LA*S. This ordinance waa made tbe test qaeetion in the election for city officer* on the first Monday in April end the entire ticket in favor of it waa elected by n handsome majority. When the new officers were installed, or shortly thereafter, the retailers applied to the clerk,(for a renewal of their licenses respectively—first tendering the sum of ten dollars as a lieense fee, and theo increasing the tender to fifty dollars—the sum paid under the previous ordinance—and as a matter of course the clerk refused a license, for any less sum than five hundred dollars, the fee established by the ordi nance passed in February, and sustained by the vote of tbe people on the first Monday in April. U|>on this refusal one of the applicants filed b--fore his Honor Judge Stark, a petition fora mandamus setting forth the fact that he had been engaged in the buriincas of selling liquors by retail, had con siderable funds vested in the business, and in con aequenoc of the refusal of the elerk to renew his lieense, as lie had done heretofore, and for th-* fee heretofore demanded, ho was likely to lie injured and damaged in his business: and therefore he prayed an order requiring the clerk to appear and ahow|cnu*e why he should not be compelled to issue the license demanded of him. To this tbo clerk responded, that by the ordi nance passed in the mo .th of February the feo for a I-cense had been raised to five hundred dollars, and that under that ordinance he was not author ized to issue u license ferauy less sum. This petition and answer formed tbe issue before the Judge, and the legality of the ordinance of February woe the question to be determined] and upon hearing the arguments pro and con, his Honor decided that the five hundred dollar ordi nance was void, because it wax in restraint of trudr, and ordered the clerk to issue the license applied for. Upon this decision the City Council have filed a writ of Error, taking the cose up to tbe Supreme Court, which will meet in August next: t.nd until that time matters will have to re main in statu quo. • The Empire STATE.’’--This is a title of anew paper published in Griffin, the first number of which is before ui.

Th# moon will therefor* asm through the shadow of the sarth. -At six minutes past ntao'etosk her east limb, will enter the ustoro,* at nine minutes post ten she will have entered with her whole disc; and at three minute* before eleven o'dsek will he in the middle of it. This will be the time of her greatest obseuratioa. Having oeowpied sn interval of ana boor nnd fifty-ooa mmutseia pro* eroding thas for into the earth’s gloomy shadow, aarwwi interval must efopm before she on* atove completely out of it. This time of eelipss for the meridian of Washington is sufficiently aesanfo ns here given, and that of any other plies stay be fonnd by applying to this time tbs number of hours and mtautoa of diffirrenee of hmgHudo be tween that place and Washington, adding if the place be to tbeeetward, snbtraottogif to the weat ward of our priaw ssertdmn. The deration of total erlipae will be about one hoar add thirty-six minutes. At th* time of ‘greatest eclipse the moon will bo in the xsaith or a point on the earth’s surface situated In latitude 15 deg. 9 min. south, longi tads 61 deg. 54 min. west, which point may be considered th* pole of n great oirefe dividing the earth into two hemispheres, in one of which the phenomena will he visible, bat in |h* ether inviei-- Die, except perehanoe by thorn who dwell only a short distance beyond this gnat boundary. More rigorously, the limit here to he imagined is the periphery of n section of tbo terrestrial spheroid, parallel to this grant circle, dividing tbe spheroid Into two unequal parts; but for the jpnmot pur pose mathematical precisioo maynotncnteewaiy Tbe Chinese, Hindoos, and other inhabitants of that section of tho earth will be excluded from the privilege of seeing this eclipse, arid the millions of Western Europe who might see it will be a-leep at the time; but tbe more fefored people of this country may all look upon it before retirirfg to rest, if the atmosphere be favorable To scoount for tlie dismal reddish color of the moon id *•■ eclipse, it is supposed that this light is a part of that which, being deoomposed in passing through the earth's atroo-phere, is refracted out of its course into a direction towards the moon. Observations of a lunar eclipse, carefully made at different stations, mny enable us to determine difference of longitude, but not with great accu racy; for this reason, that at tbe junction of tbe umbra with the penumbra the darker shade is so oftly blended itli the lighter that no outline sharp enough for a good observation can be perceived To diminish the uncertainty arising from this cause, it has been suggested that, instead of re eording the time of contact of the umbra with the moon’s limb, the observer should note its ap pulse to some of those remarkable objects in the moon's disc There are, however, ao many meth ods of finding difference ot longitude with very great accuracy that observations of lunar eclipses are seldom resorted to for this purpose. The most important result that bns perhaps ever been deduced from tlie observations of lunar eclipses is the ustronomicai feet of “ tlw accelera tion if the moon s mean mo'ion.'’ Ptolemy has re corded the day and the hour of an e-dipse of tbe moon which occurred in the year 721 before Christ. I|>n Junis recorded another observed nt Cairo towards the close of the tenth century* These, compared with eclipses observed in our days, prove’ that the moon moves more rapidly in her orbit now than she did two thousand years ago. The cause of this acceleration has been fully developed by the great writers on Physical Astronomy. , — ll ■■■ - ■■ Statistics of Georgia.

That is a sort of despotism more congenial to the tastes of certain Democratic leaders, sad fitted to the’ abjesteem of party slaves.
