It was in Alabama that the preacher
was accustomed to distinguish the I and
II epistles of John by raying, John with
one eye nud John with two eyes. It was
a long time before the people got the.
hang of it, bat when they did, the dis
tinction answered very .well.
An Irish soldier in the British army
was standing sentry when an officer,
noticing that he had a black eye, ac
costed him; and charged him with hav

engaged me.’
A young gentleman very conceited
and rain of himself, but who by-the-bye
was rather despised, with a face much
pitted by the small-pox, was not long
since addressed by a chap, who, after
admiring him for some time, said
• When carved work comes in fashion,
you’ll be the handsomest man I ever put
my eyes on.’
‘Ain’t you afraid yon will break,
while falling so ?’ said a chap in the pit
of a circus, to a clown.

STATE ROAD INVESTI
GATION.
It will be remembered that in De
cember last, a committee was appointed
from-both branches of the Legislature, to
make a thorough investigation in rela
tion to the alleged mismanagement and
partiality shown by the authorities of
said- Road. We -publish in to-day!s
pap®* the majority and minority . reports
oj that committee in relation to this sub:
, ect - We would call particular atten
tion to, and ask for them a candid read-
U is unnecessary,far us to enter into
an elaborate criticism of the raqjority
report, for we‘feel that of the minority,
by Mr: Hill . tears away the'flimsy. veil
that the majority would throw- .over, the
charges, and that he in. a cmiciseand
terse manner does away with the circum-
mlocution and unmeaning' thetorical
flourishes by which they endeavor to
cover np the direct charges, as set forth
in the resolutions. We think that.there
as too much Miss Nancy ism displayed
by the majority, and that they were too
nice of the feelings of those against whom
the charges had been made. It was
uly an unpleasant office, but truth and
justice, demanded an impartial anil
thorough investgation should have been
made.-
The Whole of the proceedings, from
first to last, convince us of the wisdom of
that policy that would place the road by
its sale, out of the liands of those who.
would make it a f f*eyverful political
engine. It ought not to be so used by
any party, arid the temptation is so great
thus to Use the road, that we would place
it now and forever beyond all party
control. We regret I bat the House did
not agree to the bill that had passed the
Senate, by a large majority, for the
immediate sale of three-fifths of it, as th
State’s interest, in every particnlar by'
that bfil, was fully protected. Private
corporations invariably manage better,
ns to finances, &c., than larger and more
complicated bodies. We are confident
that economy, if no other motive, will
ultimately compel the State to pass the
immediate control of it out .of her hands

GEMS OF THOUGHT.
Time’s chariot-wheels make
carriage-road in the fairest face.
A brilliant talker is not always liked
by thrive whom he has most amused
He that is choice of his time will also
be choice of his company, and choice of
his actions.
I he passion of love makes almost
every man a rhymer, though not
poet.
When ill news comes too late to' be
serviceable to your neighbor,' keep it to
yourself.
He who does his best, however little,
is always to be distinguishable from him
who does nothing.
Beneficence is the most exquisite
luxury; and the good man, after all, is
the genuine epicure.
A Critic’Ss head should be wise enough
to form a right judgment, and his heart
free enough to pronounce it. ..
A desire to say things which no one
ever said, makes some people say things
which nobody bright to say.
Industry may be considered as the
purse, and frugality as its strings, which
should rather be tied with a bow than
a double knot, that the contents may
not be too difficult of access for reason
able purposes.
Did Milcah Bear?—A good old
dame was plyiug her distaff, and listen
ing devoutly to her daughter reading
the Bible «t her side. Shu was reading
in the Book of Genesis, and being imper
fect in the art, she would now ami- then
miscall a word. So it chanced that
she read stammeringly, these words
•Now these eight did Milcah bore—’
‘What, what’s that ?' said the old lady
‘read that again,’
The good daughter complied, ami
looking more carefully, read ‘did Milro
bear.’ jicawi-
‘Ah r that will do,’ said the neither,
‘they might milk a bear, Lot to milk
hoar,
my daughter, that is impossible.*
The Sooth in. the Black. Republi
cs Convention.—We take the follow
ing from the Pittsburg correspondence
of the N. Y. Express. - It is qriite racy:
The.‘‘friend> of Freedom” here, are
caucusing; and concerting to palm off
upon .the public the false representation;
that tim South* is; in pari, represented iri
■this their one-legged Convention.
Mr. F. P. Blair, the old -Editpr of the
Globe, (one of .the Democratic leaders)
who abused Henry Clay,’and Daniel
Webster,Uying iri the grossest terms,
even- paintiofpthe latter as*a“drunkard”
is the only bonqjfclc Southern man here
and lie is a slaveholder on the borders of
Maryland. • ' ,s .' v ‘ #
‘•Redpath, of Mi-souri,” is your well
known Tribune Editor,—James H. Red^
path. He now dose up “the horrible”
in Kansas for the Tribune, as its corre
spondent there. He is an Englishman,
who did up the Pease business in -New,
York, and has only been in Miasburi, to
run through it.
r ‘ Farley, of Virginia.” I believe is a
Yankee from Maine.
Bailey, of Kentucky, is an editor of
an Abolition journal nofir. Kentucky.
He may have been there, —but he left
soon.
Your New York, “friends of Freedom’
however, know -how to do u;> this sort
of Convention business, Redpath, and
Farley, and Bailey are “good enough
Morgans till after election.” It is«>
important to have r ‘a shriek for freedom”
from the South;—that,—as in the melo
drama. mock men are got up to do the
shrieking.
A Piggish Illustration.—A coun
try girl several of whose sisters had mar
ried badly, was herself about to take the
noose.
How dare you get married,” asked a
cousin of her, ‘‘after having before you
the unfortunate example of your sis
ters 7
“A fudge for the example of my sis
ters,” exclaimed the girl with spirit, “1
choose to make trial myself. Did you
ever see a parcel of pigs running ton
trough oF hot swill? The first one
sticks in his nose, gets it scalded, and
then draws back arid squeals. The
second burns his nose and stand* aqeual-
ing in the same manner. The third fol
lows suit, and he squeals, too. But still,
it makes no difference with (hose before;
but all in-turn thrust in their noses just
ns if the first hadn’t got burned or squeal
ed at all. So it is with girls in regard to
matrimony—and now with this I hope
you are satisfied.”
The Penitentiart.—The act which
was passed on the last day of the session
in relation to the Penitentiary, provides
for the lease of that Institution. If the
lease is not effected within twelve months
nnd.-for not less than one thousand dol
lars per annum, to the State, than the
Penitentiary is to be removed to the
Stone Mountain ; for which purpose an
appropriation of S7O,O0O is made.
Geft. Peter Cone of Bulloch, P. M.
Compton, Esq., of this city and W. R.
Poole, Esq., Seuator from Hart county,
were appointed Commissioners to su
perintend the lease or removal, as the
ease may be; and in the event that a
lease is effected, the Governor and Com
missioners are empowered to interfere to
prevent the cruel or oilier improper
treatment of the convicts.— Recorder.
Death of another Member of The
Legislature.—Thomas E. Beall..
Esq.. Representative from the county
~of Columbia died on Tuesday night last
of that fatal idisease' Pneumonia. 1 On
Wednesday, morning; on announcement
of his death’ both Houses passed the
usual resolutions and adjourned. The
members walked in procession with the
remains of the deceased from his board
ing house to the Depot, where they
were taken in charge by a committee
to conveyHhem to his home in 'Colum
bia. The committee, consisted of Messrs.
Barton and Kitchens of tho House and
Messrs. Avery and Nichols of the Sen
ate. • ri ; • vp 5-Cil • - - i;
, Mr. Beall left, we -learn, an estate of
about one hundred thousand dollars, and
by will gave the most of it for the cdu-
cationofthe poor of his county. He
was a bachelor and t has no nearer rela
tive that he knew of, than a_£Ousin, to
whom he bequeathed a portion.—Sa.

Keep to the Right.—If persons in
passing the streets would hear in mind
the importance Of keeping to the right,
as the law directs, they would save them
selves many unpleasant collisions with
others, and at the same lime facilitate
pedest nanism very much. It is no un
common thing nriw, to see a lady and
gentleman meet in the street, and in
their effort to pass each other become so
much confused as really to lose all pres
ence of rrirnd; neither knowing how to
escape from the dilemma: Now, had
they adopted and adhered strictly to
the rule of “ keeping to the right,” these
unpleasant, feelings would hare been
avoided, arid both parties' spared much
mortification for the time.

Attainment of Knowledge.— Dr.
Olinthus Gregory says : "With a few
exceptions, (so few indeed that they
need scarcely be taken into practical
estimate,) any person may learn any
thing upon which he sets his heart, ■ Tu
insure suo.ce.-s. he has simply so to dis
cipline hi:s mind as to check its vngran-
cics, to cure in of its proneness to be
doing two or more things at a time, and
to compel it to direct its combined ener
gies, simultaneously, to a single object,
and thus to do one thing at once. This
I consider as one of the most difficult,
but one of the most useful lessons that a
young man can learn. JRy’hteM- to
