Political Sign*—Education In Georgia.
Washington, D. t\, Fe’s.Tth, 1-58.
! Amongst the la‘e my.-x in the political fitma
! mint, two may lie rod a* dtstrvicg ftpecioi at
! tention. IVith arc decidedly favorable in theiriu
di.:.:'.: ns. The firat is tiic election of Mr. Everett
: to the United Stales Senate, in tic place of John
Dav-i, ivy tlio Mu-suobusetls Legi'iature. Mr.
! ilvi-ret’, it is known, is one of the few in 80-ton,
'•bo, fn ::i tlie first, took sides with Mr. Webster
in tho views expressed in his celebrated 7lii of
March speech, in 1850. He defended him when
Faueuil Hal! wo® closed against hiai. And iiis
triumphant election n w may l>e considered not
1 only a, an endorsement by Massachusetts of his
; late ietter upon Cuba, but a complete endoesement
; also of the course of Mr. Webster upon the cotn
| promise measures, ircladiiig the Fugitive hiuve j
I iu-.v. This, for Masaachnsetts, is certainly a fa- j
: vorable indiealion worthy of note.
: Tnc other sign t-i which I allude is the estub
! Bailment of a new Democratic lie view in New
York, in opposition to tho old one, winch, in tiic
hands of Mr. George Sanders, had become the fa
vorite organ of “ Yonug America,’ - and “ ftlLbu'-
tm" iu general. Tlie new concern i* caked the
American Kcview. Whether this is to be the
organ of the new Administration, and to refLct
it* -ci.tin,cut*, views and policy, is yet uncertain.
Ij t the fact that such an entirprize is start* d, is
significant oftir.ic’i. it shows that in the D mo
cratic ranks, as well os in the old Whig rnr.ks,
there are men of independent thought and action,
who will rot blindly follow tho leal of party when
its course is directed toward*mischief, destruction
and ruin.
I have called from the unpublished ecu-.us re
turn* some educational statistics of Georgia, which
may be interesting to your readers. They show
Hint in 1850 there were in Georgia—
Colleges, Mate, 4; teacher*4o; Ilcirr-U- V r income 147,1)70
“ 4‘cnotte 7; *- 4i; “ JrgO; “ 57,54»r
“ M- 'lleal 1; “ fi; •• 1»•; “ 10..VSJ
Com. Miooli, 12:4; “ 1248; “ 52,-2/; “ 1 *0,346
Acrulfemie! imd Private it-iiocls. 220; teachers 31a; rtu*
Or at:- !,*059; incoaie *173,424.
From which it appears that there were, incla
d'ng the Medical College, 5 male Colleges, with
600 studeuts—with an income, orratberan amount
of receipts for their support of $47,870. And 7
female Colleges, with 22» p.ujlls, supported by an
income of $57,560. The other SiYwctl* and Aoado
tniva ol the egate bnffiher 1.474, wuh 41,*84 schol-
ars, supported by an iocoufe of $862,790. The
aggregate amount of this income of r.!l tho Schools
and Colleges in the bJutc is put down at $4*?,224).
This is certain!}' no bad showing for Georgia,
with a white population of 521,572.
The most striking feature in it is the number of
j her female College* and their flourishing condi
| tion. But it is a fact well known to all informed
( upon the snbjict, that, since 1850, quite a number
j of new female Colleges liavo been established in
; d!!!V-ront parts of the state, and perhaps at this
j time there are not less than 1500 young ladies
takings regular collegiate cotirsu .’ What Stutc of
| the Union, or what part of tho civilized world can
make us good a showing in this department ofedu
eation ? With n little more system and efficiency
in her Common Schools, she may well lay claims
to be the model State for “ the general dilfnsion
of knowledge amongst her people.” Let her
motto bo “Onward and upward.”

For the Ohr-mkU <k Sentinel,
The United Stuti-i Monthly Law Magazine and
Examiner.
The above is the title of the thousand and one
periodicals of light, (not to «av trashy) productions)
by which tho world has been bored for a few
year* past, beyond ill! former example. Steele,|ive
think it wa», who lamented in his day that al! who
could write at all, shonlJ not lmvc some proper
employment, for it seldom happened that a dull
fellow with a little learning who had some leisure,
did not betake himself to one or the other of those
universal employments for all fools, polities or
poetry. Had that celebrated essayist lived till
this day, he would have discovered that the same
characters although engaged in the same employ
ment now as then, have taken upon thoir hands
two a Iditiona! labors, viz. tlie writing of novels
and biographies.
Among those engaged in tho lattor, there aro
many in whom the Oueoethet ecribendi appear to
have amounted to a disease. But the worst ease
of tho disorder which has fallen under our obser
vation is that which seems to have seized upon the
author of the above named periodical. Wc sup
posed when tho March number of last year made
its appearance, the malady was so violent in its
then stale, that it would arrive at a'crisis by tlie
time tho April ihiiriher could appear, aud would
have a speedy aud natural termination; but we
have been disappointed. We have discovered that
this scribbling mania unlike most other disease*,
i* one in which tho violence of tlio attack is no in
dication, that it may not become chronic: the dis
order has continued if not with increased violence
at least without abatement.
We considered tho distemper of tlie nntiior
whoso work wo arc considering ns of a character
at first “ manifestly incurable,” and set down to
watch its progress rather aa a matter of curiosity
than with a hopo that anything could lie done to
“change his hand or check his pride.” Wo arc.
therefore, not attempting id* amendment; eutcr
tniniug no idea that he would yield a jot of Ids
HXtntTggXßT YUgiiftciAz- 1 iff tint admonition of much
abler adviser* than we can pretend to bo.
“ All wo hope to do, is if po-wiblo to prevent tlio
spreading of the iiialuJy.” Many of tho inditid-
Unls whoso lives he Ims paraded before tho world,
are such a* to induce a beffit' that they had been
drawn lrom the militia regiments in the old form
of drafting. SVo know of no exnuiplo of such
on attempt to dignify insignificance and obscurity,
which comes near equalling this, except Words
worth's old Scotch Fodlur, his wife of an unpros
perons weaver, his servant girl with her natural
child, aud a parish paitpcr. Wo udinit that a low
of hi* elmr.ieters ere persons of distinction, but
most of fhem sro such us might induce ono to im •
.■lyin'! he was endeavoring to imitate tho Jowish
Botanist, who it i* said “wrote from the cedar of
Lebanon to tho Hysop that springeth out of the
wall.” Wo would admonish the biographer that
however proper such a courso may be iu a treatise
of that kind, it will not do to apply so indiscrimi
nate a ruk: to writing the lives of men. The ac
counts lie gives us of the few who are of sufficient
prominent)* to form even an excuse for giving to
tlio world their biographies, aro given in such
overwrought, strains of childish hyperbole ami
maudlin panegyric, in which innumerable chang
es nro rung upon a few “ fantastical sublimities—”
accompanied “ with long words, long sentences,
and unwieldy phrases—” and all this to such an
extent as to render It very difficult for an ordinary
reader to conjecture what ho i* driving at, and to
doubt whether much ol it is not intended for
mere irony. And such wc confcs*on reading some
part* of his work we at first conceived it to ho.
But we soon became convinced “ that nothing in
ti.o shape of a joko could bo so insupportably
dull.” We are sometimes half inclined to the
opinion that it is it misfortune to tho world, that
ut stated periods soma great writers liavo arisen
in tho varum* departments of literature who
have succeeded well; for although tiic world is
improved and entortuiued by tlieir productions,
yet they iinvo generally been tho occasion of in
citing a class of weak imitators, who inflict a flond
of productions in the soma line upon tho world,
until it may become doubtful whether tho country
is not as much, or more injured by their writings,
than it has been bcnoßttod by those they liavo en
deavored to imitate. F march and some others
have written biographies well and instructively ;
Cervantes, Fiolding and Scott have written clever
i novels, and have been sticcocded by a host o! weak
and silly imitators. Homer and Virgii ill ancient
times, Milton, Drydsu and Pope in modern, liqvc
been great poets, and this or something else ■**
give rise to au innumerable host of poetasters,
I 1 wh x*o production* ore well calculated to induce
one to forswear reading any thing in verse.
A very able judge of mankind has said there are
very few mc:i whose biographies ought to be
! written, and mneli fewer who ought ever to at
n o t writing them; wo aro not aware that we.
have ever seen a more striking verification of tho
remark than is furnished by tho author of the
work wo aro examining. Surely the “ world
would hardly contain the books, if the lives of alt
men are to bo written, which might quito as rea
sonably bo done as the lives of most of thoao com
prised in tlie aforesaid work. F>y tlie by, we
opino he has destroyed all their prospects of ever
becoming President*, since it lias com® to pass
i tj)St no one about whom tho world knows any
[ can receive a nomination for that office, or
i if he vices, vie succeed in being elected. Nothing

; descriptions' * n< i statements ho ba» totally disre

* which is necessary t a the effect of a nursery tale or

j in which he has attributed to those whose lives
I he pretended to describe the possession of talents
; and a standing, which ho lias certainly been the
first to discover, aud will at in do only to that por
tion of his blunders and misstatement* wherein
he gives to the Supreme Court of Georgia a Chief

KossfTH.—The New York Courier, speaking of
Kossuth and his reported return to tlie United
States, say*:
“ We speak advisedly when wc say, lie dare not
return. Wo speak from knowledge and the
evidence of our own eyes, when wo sav. that he
requited the generosity of our peopio by tho
basest ingratitude, and that before lie slunk from
onr shores under thfi alias of Alexander
Smith, ho signed a contract to head an expedition
from this city against a country with which wo are
at peace, in open defiance of our Neutrality Law*.
Tins we say, we know from the evidence of onr
o.wn eyes, before the infamous contract wu* depos
ited iii tho Department of Stats ; and if ho ven
tures again to corne among ns, our Government,
whether Whig or Democrat, will not hesitate to
arrest and punish him.”

the Savannah Georgian, the second report of the
Brunswick and Florida Railroad company. In it,
wo arc told, the subscriptions to the road, along

have been paid in. Tho subscriptions in Ncw-
York and Boston amount to $1,250,000—0f which
10 per cent havo been paid in. It is stated tha
negotiations are now in progress for the further
ance of that portion of the plans of tho company
which contemplates the extension of tho road lrom
“ Thomasville to l’cnsacoia. A locomotive and a

I The immense quantity of rain which has fallen,

impossible, by the ordinary means, to transport
food, hands of energetic miners carried upon their

tramping, in single file, freighted with rice in

Small pox has prevailed in Calaveras county, on

Dates from Nevada to the 11th ultimo states that
the Atock of flour was then completely exhausted
in that oily. Add to this the distressing fact that
the extensive ruining region round W aio u pa, about
twelve miles east of Nevada, which is entirely de
pendent on that place, is without n pound of pro
vision**, and can got no supply of flour Irom Neva
da, and that miners at ft place culled Kod Dog, were
uctuully sustaining themselves upon scraps which
they had previously thrown away—and the | icturc
is gloomy enough. At Nevada one of the bakers
went t«> another for a loaf of bread for his family,
but could not get it, the lu-t one having ju*t be-Ai
sold. Two or the hotels at Nevada had closed in
consequence of the extreme scarcity of provisions,
mid those remaining open had advanced their pri
ces, not knowing how eognthey would oe compell
ed to close themselves. The last pan els of flour
sold lor tsixty cents per pound, the maximum price
of the season. Few or no potatoes on sale. At
Grass Valley the citizens had convened to take
steps tor obtaining supplies.
The Golden Gate, which left San Francisco on
the 15th nit., carried $1,741,899 in gold dust.
The Miners. —There is no doubt about it, if l lie
weather docs not clear np, the miners will die by
hundreds—die of starvation. They have no decent
food now, and even the acorns and barley will soon
be exhausted. Those who have the menus are
leaving the mountain region in detachments of
twenty, fitly, or ono hundred, and shortly they
will fill our cities. Three hundred Chinese are
expected to morn*w, but the great body of the
miners who arc disposed to leave tho Sierra region
is not expected foriburtoc n days.
There never was a time since California was first

The agricultural interests of the State for t’e
current sea Von arc suffering severely. As wo have
remarked in tho foregoing paragraph, large quan
tities of stock have perished or drowned. Unfor
tunately too, a large portion of the loss has been
among the American cattle, the most valuable that
we posse*s. Where crops liavo been put in tho
ground, in tho great valleys, they have been wash
ed out: but from this serious loss there arc now the
strongest hopes of partial recovery, provided tho
dry season sets in early. The farming interests
are fast assuming supremacy, experience proving
this to be not only the most "profitable employment
hero, but, as in ail other countries, the most inde
pendent method of a livelihood. The uncertainty
of titles has had a most serious effect in prevent
ing tho settlement of the agricultural demesnes.
The Board of Land Commissioners, however, are
actively engaged in prosecuting their labors, so
that t lie prospect for the settlement of titles in
brightening.
Later from Cntr.T.—Wo have received via Pa

“ Since the departure of the last sterner no

country goes on well in the path of conciliation of
parties, by uniting all interests in the great works
of internal improvement, as railways, canals, tfce.,
and the crops in the southern portion of the State
have been abundant.”

The Legislature was in session. Tiie Governor,
in his message, speaksot the difficulties endured

‘‘ Flour is selling at SIS and S2O per 100 lbs.

lars per bushel tor wheat, and there is very littic
to be obtained for that price. Potatoes command
$2 50 per bushel: beet and pork are worth 13

From Aistu vlia.— The recounts from Australia
byway of California, are to the flit of October..—
Now discoveries of gold mines were continually
being marie, and the Colonial Parliament was pass
ing many bills to incorporate different iningcoin
panics. "The Sau Francisco Times tutd Transcript
savs:
“ Tbo yield from the diggings, at Last accounts,
was larger than ever. Nor are timgold mines con
fined to New Holland alone. Parties of explora
tion have fully confirmed the reports that mines
exist near Auckland, New Zcinnd, also. Goods of
every kind, food in particular, command high
prices in Australia as well as with ns, and as labor
is scarce, tho question of the introduction of Coolies
is beginning to agitate tho public mind. In fact.
Australia appears to be passing through many of
the different phases which Lave been witnessed in
California.”

conflagration at that place:
Theory of fire was given at midnight. It had
begun in the warehouse of Messrs. \V. F. Saflbrd
<fc Co., and very soon extended on either side to
the neighboring establishments, and the strong
sea breeze blowing at the time carried the flames
last, upon tho town.
Ti c* los-cs have been much greater than was
at first supposed, and we do not hesitate to say
that t hey arc not less than $2,56b,000. First there
lire destroyed down to their foundations, nine
large sugar and molasses establishments, eight pro
vision stores, six public houses, the postonicc and
many private dwellings, together with a large
quantity of produce, goods and provisions in store
besides the minor item*. i
It is not known how tho fire originated, as it was
first seen in a large pile of hqjn shavings, near
which there had been no fire, Fneds were to be
raised immediately on the citfetff the warehouses,
for the purpose «i>f receiving* jJfoducc from the

Matters in Havana. —From Aentleman just ar
rived from Havana, we leffdKfcat the Captain
General has sent a special messenger to Key West
inviting Mr. King, Vice President elect, in case he
visited Havana, to take up his quarters in tho Cap
tain General’s palace. Tho Captain General also
requested the American Consul, Judge Sharkey,
to give him immediate notice the moment Mr.
King should arrive in the harbor of Havana.
A bitter feeling, it has already been stated, ex
isted on the part of the Spanish authorities against
the English officials at Havana, on account of the
latter’s prompt action in seizing severul vessels en
gaged iu the slave trade, trying, condemning, and
ordering them to be sawed in three pieces and
then sold. This feeling has extended so far that
tho Captain Genera! returns no answer to any of
the communications from tho British Consul at
Havana; in fact, he has thus placed that official in
Coventry. This will not, of course, long bo brook
ed by tho British who, whatever
other charges can be Drought against it, cannot be
reproached with allowing its subjects or official re
presentative abroad to be treated with contempt
or injustice by foreign Governments. A new ele
ment will thus be brought into tho political agita
tion which is now whirling round tho Island of
Cuba, and it will undoubtedly effect on Important
change in tho aspect and result- of the matter, so
fur ns this country is concerned in it.— Pic.

the hoe, off St." Augustine bar, of the schooner
American Coin, bound from Savannah to Bt. Au
gustine, on the 22th ult. Site sprung a leak on tho
28th. be'wccn Darien and St. Simons, and though
the hands were kept constantly at the pumps, all
efforts to keep her free of water proved useless. A
heavy rcu was running all the time, and tho wind
blowing I reshiv from the northeast. It was finally
determined to benc h her, but as she neared the bar
a heavy sea struck her, knocking her on her beam
cuds, after which, though soon righted, she became
unmanageable— tho sea washing over her all the
time. The captain and oil hands got ashore in the
small boat, and at 10 o'clock at night tho schooner
began to bt oak np, and portions or tho wreck float

The St. Augustine Ancient City, from which we
obtain these facte, says the wreckers were unable
to save a sixth part of tho cargo, all of which w its
damaged. What was got from the wreck was sold

The First Settlement of .savannah.
Saturday was the anniversary of the seulommlc

The expedition under Ocr.. Oglethorpe and the
Rev. Mr. Herbert, consisted of one hundred and
fourteen persons, and embarked on board the slop
.4nae, on the 16th of November, 173a. On the
20th of January following, they arrived at Beau
fort, South Carolina, where they obtained tempo
rary lodgings iu the new barracks. Oglethorpe
immediately proceeded South to select it proper
site for the colony. On the first of February Old
Stylo, the colonists reached Vumacrow Bluff und
pitched their tents. They were ten days engaged
in disembarking. The first house was commenced
on tho evening of the S)lh, and Oglethorpe wrote
Ilia first letter to the Trustees on the 10th. Allow
ing for tho difference between Old and New Style,
the 12th of February may properly be regarded aa
the anniversary of the settlement of Georgia.

From the Coast of Africa. —The

The boats of the English man-of-war Polyphe
mm had landed ft party of men on the river Bho
bar, near Lagos, who bad burned tho villages on
the banks, on account of some acts of piracy.—
Commander Foote, of tho Promothous, had re
turned from a mission to Abhrakoutah, object
of which was open up friendly relations with that
people. The mission was successful. Ail the
chiefs promised to give up the slave trade, i.nd
were giving encouragement to the missiona
ries sent among them from the North Coast of Si
erra Leone. Abhrakoutah is 30 miles to the North
of Sierra Leouc the route to it being through u moat
delightful and productive country, which is stated
to be capable of growing cotton, Ac., in very large
quantities.
Dr. Irving of tho Prometheus, accompanied
Commander Foote on this mission, and collected
the requisite materials tor u work descriptive of the
capabilities of the country, and the characteristics
of the people of Abhrakoutah, u place wnich bids
fair to open a wide Ibid for the civilization of the
interior ot this portion of Africa. They were how

Tub Japan Pea. —At the late annual meeting of
tho United States Agricultural Society at Wash
ington, as we learn from the National Inteiligcn
ecr, Professor Mapes of New Jersey, handed to the
President a portion of the vine or stalk of the Ja
pan pea, which was raised last season in Suffolk
county, New Jersey. The seed was originally ob
tained from some of the company of a Japanese
vessel wrecked on tho coast of Calfornia, and
formed a portion of their food, lie described it as
ft plant whose botanical character had not yet
been precisely settled, but which was probably
well deserving tho attention of agriculturists. The
'specimen offered was cut off at about two feist from
the ground, and was thickly studded around with
seed pods, thus producing very many times the
crop of the ordinary pea or our gardens. In plant
ing these peas are set at about five icet apart, and in
the course of their growth cover the whole surface of
the interveumgground. They require no sticking
or other support, the stem being quite stiff and un
yielding. Thi* pea appears to be specially useful
for feeding to horses, but may no doubt also
be made to contribute largely" to human suste
nance.

sufficient to satisfy them.
On Saturday morning, Monument Square was

they shall resume their labors—fivo tho second
month, and fivo tho third—making Ilf ocn per cent,

Head the following testimony from Dr. Ilusar E.
Mon hill, a skillful Physician,of Nt-w York Oily:
On his remarks on Dyspepsia be says: The most effec
tual medicine to Improve the tone and energy of th-t stom
ach, G tUat prepared by Dr Leo. B, Green, of Windsor,
Vt., and called the OXYGENATED BITtffUS.
1 would pubti.-h the Recipe for preparing tbia valuable
medicine, if I kn- ; w what it was, but as Ido not, lean only
recommend ita uss. It tec : a to me to be imprr j>erly
called “ Biitrra,” at leant in the popular *eee;>ruti-n of
tba- term, for it contain* no Mo-hoi r»r other Bpiri% and is
rather sour ttnn bitter. Though here, by the wiy, Ica i
not too ertrn*flt : y ca tion tin* DyipeUc sufferer, against
iiain? the thousand undone “Sherry Wine,’* and other ad
vertised “ Bitters,” the basis of which ig Alcohol, or other
Ar ’ent Spirits. Th**y no more impart real energy to the
sfctmch, than r whip gives strength to a horse, 'i he*tim
ulptiou which excite i > only temporary,and pure to b**
followed by a reaction, which nt length wiii inevitably wear
o-t the stomach. The medicine of which lam speaking,
obviates the:. * objections. It has been analysed by fat
dftinguiibed Prof. Ilayes, M. D., ft't-ite A-«.iycr
of MaSbachtif! *.ts, who declares, that “the rned-cin&l arti
cles uj>l* I are those prescribed by the most eminent physi
cians, f r the relief from, and cure of, the distune* fur
which these Bitters have been >o eminently successful.”—
But iny ex fieri cnee with fchia medicine, has .-atigfled m: that
■ h*- article must be combined in very different proportions
from these u/ually employed, or that they are brought to
gel her Ln eh< h r manner, that some n.w product regults
from their combination. For in no other way can I ac
count for the astonishing efficacy which I am certain they
poB-*-fS. I have einpk vert th'-tn in a multitude of c ises,
j and have uniformly found, that wh -n used according to
the direction*, they gradually, bat surely, remove, one by
one, the varh.UA ui-trersing symptoms which chi “ter
:round the eonfi» med Dyspeptic, X“ tore to the Bityaafib its
K.-t energies, and th is lead the patier-t back to the erfjoy

mand at regular prices and u moderate burioeas*. During
the week, c'oaed to-day, the transactions have not been
I large, and prices have declined to on all descrip

of receipt* in the port?, which hot, to some extent, shaken
the confidence of buyers. To-day the oj>eratioua have not»
j probubly, exceeded 150 hales, and quotations may be C' n
sidered almost nominal. We hear of no transactions since

NEW YORK WEEKLY REPORT, Feb. 12.—The excess
in receipts as telegraphed from New Orleans, now amount
log to 617,000 bales, h.is weakened confidence at this point,
creating an anxiety to sell, which in the absence of any
thing like a rt gular export demand, has depressed and un
settled the Cotton market. Not, so, however, at New Or
leans; there the quantity ismet by an active demand which
sustains prices &c, above the parity of rates here current
and fully %U. above the last Liverpool quotations.
We do not think the present excess any index of crop,
and look confidently for a material reduction during
March and April; and wore it not for the experience of
last season, those who have hitherto operated largely at
New York, would be dispesed to venture, but having been
last season di appointed by continuance of receipts, and
the ultimate extent of the crop, (although their operations,
owing to the prosperous condition of the manufacturing
interests throughout the world, resulted favorably,) will
not further act this year, until, in reducing receipts, they
have the evidence before them.
The advance noticed in our lost has been lost; but, not
withstanding this concession, buyers have not appeared
to any extent, and wo have to report a dull and nominal
market. The sales for the last, three days are 2,800 bales,
making a total for the week of B,3o(kbalu*. We quote—in
ferior —(tj—; low to good ordinary ; low to
good middling Ol^OlOX; mid. fair to fair 10ft© 1 le. The
total exports since «he Ist inst.. amount t > 17,070 Bales.
There is rather more animation in the Rice market, and
about 1800 tierces have changed hands, principally on
f p culutiou, at 4.(04.25. There is but little inquiry for ex
port to Europe, and prime qualities are very scarce.
