Publications. ! J The Magnolia is much improved since its removal, and is now one of the neatest Mag azines in tho country, in point of typography. The number for September is filled with many interesting articles, from the pens of Southern writers, among whom wo per ceive that Judge Longstreet has commenc ed anew series of his popular “ Georgia Scenes.” * - 03” Graham's Magazine, and the La mes’ Companion for September have been received, and are as usual excellent.— There is one thing in which our Southern Magazines cannot hope to rival these splen did Northern Periodicals; wc mean in En gravings, hut they must make up for defi ciencies in this department by the excel lence of their reading matter. We would not have them attempt to imitate them in their fashion plates which are pictures of most unnatural looking folks—men that look like forked beet-roots—and women whom it would he no sin to worship, for they are like nothing in “heaven above or the eartli beneath.” Their other engra vings ar most beautiful. 05“ The Richmond Wiiig contains a let ter from J. 11. Pleasants, formerly Editor of the Whig, giving an account of a plan laid by three citizens of Richmond, to car ry off Mr. Van Buren into North Carolina in case he had been elected. This wild scheme was to be carried into effect at the inauguration, and was to be justified to the people on the ground that Mr. Van Buren had got the vote of Virginia by fraud The • plan was abandoned upon news being re ceived of the election of General Harrison, We can hardly believe it possible that the conspirators would have been so mad a-s to have attempted to carry their plan into ex ecution, or that the attempt if made would have met with any success. 05” Mr. Richard P. Taylor, the reform ed drunkard, in a communication to the Temperance Banner, says : Mr. Editor:—For four months past, 1 have been travelling in Georgia, dissemi nating the principles of the Washington Total Abstinence Society ; —I have visited the following Counties:—Richmond, Clark, Morgan, Walton, Newton, Jasper, Gwin nett, DeKalb, Cobh, Forsyth, Cherokee, Henry, Pike, Bibb, Baldwin, Putnam, and Greene. During the four months abov mentioned, in visiting the Counties, 1 have delivered 142 addresses or lectures, in 125 days; the number of Societies in the above Counties, organized upon the Washington principles, is 31 ; the number of accessions to the pledge in these Societies is 6,810. — Os tiiis number there are over COO reform ed drunkards, 500 of whom are men of tain iii*a.Ws. av n r .l.om io~*ir)UkC i'S : 1.600 temperate men ; and 2.000 taures. 1 Mr. Taylor is now lecturing in this place, and wc will report better of his success here next week. He represents himself as having been a desperate drunkard, and his success seems a fulfillment of the scripture tljat men should learn wisdom from the mouths of sucklings. FOR THE NEWS & PLANTERS’ GAZETTE. Mr Editor. —l like the suggestion of “A Sufferer,” your correspondent of last week, in relation to dimes. The way in which this kind of money has been suffered to pass, at 25 per cent, above its real value, has been productive of much loss to persons en gaged in trade. I can see no reason why we should refuse to take Central money, and other paper currency, depreciated to 25 per cent, below par, and yet take dimes in any quantities, at eight to the dollar. Somebody, 1 don’t know who, makes a very good speculation by dealing in this coin. They are drawn at ten to the dollar from tho hanks, which receive and pay them out at no other rate. So the Judges, Solicitors and other State officers, whose salaries were reduced by the legislature, and who arc so unfortunate as to get their pay in Central money, contrive to avoid loss on it, by selling it in Augusta for good mon ey, and with that drawing dimes from the Banks. Dimes can be bought in any quan tities at the North at ten for the dollar, and thus some shrewd speculator makes 25 pr. cent, sure profit by buying tliem and bring ing them South, these persons will continue to makeoutofcommunity, unless dimes are only suffered to pass at their true value, a better and more certain profit on their investments than the regular and hon est merchant can make on his. That there are many such speculators engaged in this business is evident from the quantities now in circulation. It looks like a little and a very mean business, but it is nevertheless a most profitable one. I propose that all persons should cease at once, or on some future, early and fixed - day to take dimes at any tiling else than their true value—lo to the dollar. Much depends on the niercliants, if they adopt • such a measure, we should soon begin to see the old fashioned dollars and half-dol lars again, which are now hoarded up by the speculators to pay dimes with. Let us Vave a reform in this respect, and while we ajg endeavoring to improve the paper cur rency, let" us improve the specie currency a\k; WILKES. From the Savannah Republican. TEA AND COFFEE— THE DEMOC RACY IN A SNARL. There is something wrong in the Demo cratic machinery. Tho time was when every thing went on as regular as clock work; in those days public opinions, with regard to leading measures, was all man ufactured at Washington, and what was meant for the Southern market, reached us as regular as “ Amos’s” mail. Every good Democratic Editor sung the same tune, and it was delightful to hear the swel ling and reverberations of the full chorus. It would seem, however, that they have lost the key note latterly, at least as far as Georgia is concerned ; and there is a ter rible discord among some of the fiddlers.— The state of the party here, at least on some questions, is pretty well portrayed by the following lines from Pope : “ Clmos of thought and passion all confused, Still by itself abused or disabused ; Sole Judge of truth, in endless error hurled— The glory, jest, and riddle of the world. Here is Mark A. Cooper on the one side trying to excuse himself lo the Democrats of Georgia for voting in favor of tho duty of 20 per cent on tea and coffee; and on the other Democratic Editors abusing the Whigs for making them free. Last year, it was down with Dawson and the Whigs for voting for 20 per cent duty on these ar ticles ; this year the Loco Foco papers of the State are crying down with the Whigs because they did not vote for a duty of 20 per cent. We would advise the democrats to have a political almanack, printed for the lati tude and meridian of Georgia, in which changes in the political atmosphere, shall be set down pretty much after the same fashion as the changes of the weather as [irognosticated in the common almanack. The notice of such a change as we are now speaking of, might read as follows: Os course, the almanack is supposed to be published a year ago. “August, 1841 great excitement among the Democracy, because a duty of 20 per cent, is proposed to be laid on tea and Coffee by the. Whigs. — October—expect great rejoicing on account of electing McDonald, who is in favor of free Tea and Coffee. May, 1842—100 k out for a change with regard lo Tea and Coflee, keep mum. August—expyct the Fed’l. Whigs to be in favor of admitting Tea and Coffee free, about those days ; ami pre pare to go for a duty of 20 per cent, with all our might.” This work would he very useful, as the uninitiated would know from lime to time how to guide themselves. It would prevent the necessity of those sudden turns which politicians so much dislike.— Blair & Ritchie would edit tjlis work, we have no doubt it would ho much sought af ter. We shall notice Mr. Cooper’s defence at our earliest leisure. It is well worthy remark. We have received a communi cation on this and another subject, from a friend in the up-couutrv, which shall have attention. From the Richmond Whig. THE LAND MONEY. The defeat of’ Distribution by the Veto of Tyler, after the people had most strongly declared themselves in favor of the meas ure, throwS'-that question again into the are. na of politics. Possibly, looking to its ul timate and permanent success, this is the best fortune that could hefal it. In the hands ofits enemies—with a President who would not permit the public lauds to be sold (as Tyler has threatened lo do) to make it unpopular—it might have fallen through, with no prospect of a resurrection. But now it will again go before the country upon its merits. It will appeal strongly to the genuine State rights party —to that set of men who look with jealousy to cen tral despotism, and regard a system of con federated sovereignties, as the only system, suited to this extended land ofdiversified in terests, and adequate to preserve its free dom. It will appeal to those who regard the public faith of the States as sacred as their individual honor—and who see, that without the land fund, it is impossible for the States to redeem their obligations. It will appeal to those, who are in favor of State improvements, and universal educa tion among the people. It will appeal to those, who are opposed to corruption and waste in the administration of the Federal Government. The experiment will prove again, as it has already proven, that the Land Money, by going into the Federal Treasury, will not diminish Federal expenditure at all.— It will, as it has heretofore done, rather augment Federal prodigality. There will be no reduction of duties on account of this fund being abstracted from the States, and no reduction of the burdens of the people. The Federal Government, in corrupt hands, is forever crying give! give! and its profu sion only exceeds its grasping cupidity.— Millions, in addition to the Land Money, might be thrown into its rapacious maw, and it would still be as ravenous as ever. Justice, then, to the States—the enlight enment and prosperity of tlieir citizens and the economical and efficient administration of the Federal Government, demand, that this fund shall bo restored to its rightful owners, from whom it has been wrested by treachery, to minister to the mercenary and grovelling ambition of those now in office. They, who now exult, that they have succeeded in oheating the States of this money, may, in the end, come to rue the day, that gave them cause to rejoice. Profanity Rebuked. —A man in Wilming ton, Del. named Moses Edwards, was late ly fined $4 and cost for cursing the city collector six several times when called on for his tax— Bostv?i American. IfCapt. Tyler coaid impose a fine of $4 upon all who are cursing him, he could raise a revenue without a tariff.— Docer Ene From the Nashville Whig. THE VETO. The Veto power originated at Rome, a bout 206 years after the foundation of the city, when the Tribunitian power was es tablished to guard the interests of the Ple beians from the encroachments of the Patri cians. The tribunes were chosen by the people from their own ranks, and were “ authorized to forbid or to restrain any measures which they thought hazardous or injurious to their constituents, hut they could not propose any law or move any positive resolution.” A single tribune could stop the proceedings of his own body by pronouncing the word veto, “ I forbid,” and ho could stop also tho proceedings of the people themselves, as well as of the Sensjfc and Patrician magistrates. In the hands of tho tribunes the veto power was intended to guard and preserve the liberties of the people, but in process of time, it he came subject to abuse, and under the spe cious pretext of defending the rights of the people, the tribunes did almost whatever they pleased. Tho power thus committed to their hands as u conservative principle became an instrument of oppression, just as the same power, in the hands of two of our Presidents, has been the instrument ofcoun teracling the will of the people as express ed by their representatives. GERRYMANDERING. The following is on the rounds, as an ex planation of the term Gerrymander: “ Eldridge Gerry, one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence from Mas sachusetts, was chosen the first Democratic Governor of that State, and during his ad ministration the party supporting him had the districting of it to suit their own liking. They were very indiscreet in the exercise of this power, and their political opponents showed them up to the people in the follow ing ludicrous way : Maps of the State, di vided into counties, and these made into districts on the Gerry principle,- were struck off and painted so as to represent animals called ‘ Gerrymanders.’ It overthrew the Gerry party entirely, and should he a warning to.all subsequent legislators, not to abuse the power granted them in execu ting this important and delicate trust.’’ From the Richmond Whig. OLD TECUMSEH. The friends of Col. Dick Johnson are fully in the field. They have nominated him in Kentucky and Pennsylvania—in the latter State without any reference to a Na tional Convention. The Kentucky Con vention however take the rag off the hush. They issue a formal Address to the people of the United States, urging in stiong terms the superior claims of tile war-worn vete ran. They consider Mr. Van Buren out of the question, and append to their address the following resolution adopted by their friends in Pennsylvania : Resolved, That the letter of Mr. Van Buren to the Missouri Legislature, dccli ning a nomination for the Presidency, exhib i-2 . . Democratic party, and meets the decided approbation of the people of the whole Li nden, and especially the Democracy’ of Pennsylvania. This is taking the little Magician at his word ; and is about the coolest cut we have seen. It gravels the Albany Argus no lit tle, who thus comments on it: “To the ef forts generally in behalfof the gallant ‘ He ro of the Thames,” no exception can he ta ken. That he should he preferred by ma ny, for the highest place in the gift of the people, will surprise no one. But the idea that Mr. Van Buren has declined a nomi nation, or will decline such a manifestation of the popular and democratic will, if it shall he tendered, is not we presume, a just application of the language of his letter to the Legislature of Missouri.” Meeting of Lord Ashburton and Louis Phillipc. —ln the year 1798, Lord A. with one or two friends, paid a visit to the Falls of Niagara. Upon their return they stop ped to view the Falls of the Genesee. It was late when they had finished their ex aminations; and as there was no house in tiie neighborhood, they encamped out for the night. They were somewhat fearful that the Indians might try to plunder their camp, and they kept a good lookout. In the early part of the night they heard a rustling among the leaves and a crackling among the dry branches; but whether they proceeded from the tread of Indians or wild beasts, they could not tell. The footsteps were however evidently approaching their tent. They kept strict, silent and anxious watch, lor some view or sound that should reveal the character of the visitors. Soon they distinguished human voices, and saw ] the shadowy outline of human forms. As the party came nearer they heard them con versing in French ; and in a few minutes Lord Ashburton gave Louis Phillipc and his companions a cordial welcome to his tent! They had before met amidst the ar tificial splendor of European Courts—and now, surrounded by the sublimeaml stupen dous natural scenery of the American wil derness.—Rochester Post. Glass Eyes. —A largo collection of glass eyes, of every hue and shade, beautifully manufactured, may be had in Boston. Any physician, and, in fact, a mechanic of ordi nary ingenuity, could insert one of them behind the lids, where the globe is partial ly destroyed just as well as a certain Mr. Scuddeiv Any living CVS may he accu rately matched, and the appearance is so perfectly natural, that it is extremely diili cult to detect the glass one. There is no pain in the operation of putting one in, or dinarily’ ; but if there should happen to he a slight inflarnation at first, it will soon sub side. Many one-eyed gentleman and la dies in the country might have their ex pressions greatly improved by this curious, yet very simple contrivance of a glass eve. —Med and Svr, Jo’Jt- BEN TONI AN ELOQUENCE. The Washington Correspondent of the | New L ork Commercial Advertiser gives | this as a faithful report of one of Mr. Ben ton’s speeches : “Mr. President, sir ; This highly iirt portant measure, sir, I had the honor to o riginate, sir ! Yes, Sir, —I, 1 claim the honor, sir! Sir, it is my own!

Closing the Account. —A rum seller’s bill, in Massachusetts, on which was en dorsed, “closing the account,” ran thus at the latter end : Dr , To To 1 quart of rum, - - 12,1 G candles, ... 6 1 quart of rum, - - - 12£ Half bushel of potatoes, - 18 Starch, - - - -3 1 quart of rum, - - - 12>j Pintofgin, - - - 18£ 10 yds of cottonfor ■winding sheet 81,00 Number of Millerites. —The organ of Millerism claims that there are at tiiis mo ment, “seven hundred clergymen engaged in preaching the principles of Miller, and the number of persons who profess to be lieve that Christ will make his second ad vent next year, is estimated to be not less than one million.” So then there arc sev en hundred false prophets out preaching a miserable delusion—embracing all the un principled amongst the Freewill Baptist, Calvinistic and Methodist denominations, who are willing to avail themselves of any current delusion, if so be they can gain proselytes by means of it. All these will be disgraced year after next; and ofthe million poor creatures they have deluded, j some will denounce tho Bible altogether as false, and become infidels, and others will spend the rest of their days in wrath, that the Almighty did not destroy the world when they said he would.— Gospel Banner. A luminous bottle may he prepared which will give sufficient light to admitofthe hour being told on the dial of a watch. The pro cess is as follows : A phial of clear white glass, of a long form must be chosen, and some fine olive J oil heated to ebullition in another vessel; a piece of phosphorus of the size of a pea, must be put into the phial, and the boiling oil carefully poured over it till the phial is one third filled. The phial must then bo carefully corked, and when it is to be used it must be unstopped, to admit the external air, and then closed again. The empty space ofthe vial will then appear luminous, and will give as much light as a dull ordi nary lamp. Each time the light disap pears,on removing the stopper it will instant ly reappear. In cold weather the bottle must be warmed in the hands before the stopper is removed. A phial prepared in this way may he used every night for six j months with success. | One of the Boston papers says that the j crockery dealers of that city have refused, positively, to lend their dishes any more to the Washingtonians fortheir public dinners. Reason.—“ They do not break enough to * make it an chjee’-* Now. Isn’t that ’ THE MORMONS. Joe Smith and O. P. Rockwell. We understand fiom Mr. Foie, the gen tleman who was the agent o( the Std?C of Missouri, in conveying from Gov. Reynolds to Gov. Carlin of illinois, tho requisition ot :!:s former for the persons of Smith and Rockwell, that tho proper authorities have as yet been unable? to comply with the do inand. Mr. Ford inftJ'ins us, says the Now Era, that the proper w rits were issued by Gov. Carlin, and placed in tin? hands ot the Sheriff and two deputies, and tbeY, in com pany with our informant, proceeded to Nauvoo on Monday last. They found Smith and Rockwell, and served tho writs upon them about !) o’clock in tho morning. They were in a carriage reviewing a body of Mormon troops. Smith signified his in tention of claiming the protection of the Corporation Ordinance, enacted to suit the case by the Nauvoo Council, which de clares that no person shall be taken out of the Corporation without first having had a trial before the Municipal Authorities. — The officers were unwilling to he a party to this farce, and after waiting until near sundown, returned to Quincy, and report ed the facts to Gov. Carlin. Smith openly defied the Government of both States and declared that he would not be taken to Missouri, where he could not expect a fair trial. Gov. Carlin manifest ed every desire to secure the arrest ot the accused, but disliked the expense which would attend the calling out of the Militia to enforce his order, and the officers were instructed to return a second time to Nau voo, to execute the process in their hands. They did so, hut on their arrival they were unable to find either Smith or Rockwell. It was understood, that Smith had been e qually expeditious with the officers—had been advised of the movements at Quincy, and acted upon the suggestion of his legal counsel at Quincy, to quit Nauvoo for a time. Our informant left the officers at Nauvoo, but there is no expectation of their being able to arrest him. His followers are too well armed and too numerous to per mit any thing ofthe kind to be done. Mr. Ford informs us that it was the gen eral opinion among the Mormons that Rock well was the person who shot Gov. Boggs, and many of them stated if Rockwell did commit the deed it was at the instigation, or with the knowledge of Smith. He fur ther informs us that Gov. Carlin is about to remove the State’s Arms from Nauvoo.— St. Louis Bulletin, Aug. 10. A Receipt in part. —A late North Caroli na paper contains the following queer ac knowledgement : “June 21, 1842.

New Orleans. —Among the devices of Free Trade to help out the business of the great Southern emporium, is the introduc tion of large quantities of Bank of England notes. They pass currently for all sorts produce. Wc always said dial free trade would furnish a national currency, hut wc did not expect it would be in the notes of 1 that old mother of monopolies, the Bank of England.— Jour. Com. The Governor of New Hampshire, who declined to give up Thos. W. Dorr to Gov. King of Rhode Island, refused also to re turn any’ reason by the official messenger. He sent ale tter by mail to “Samuel Ward King, acting Governor of Rhode Inland.” Governor King returned tho letter unopen ed. “Gentlemen of the jury,” said a Western lawyer, would you set a rat trap to catch a bar? Would you make and and fools of yourselves by endeavoring to spear a buf falo with a knitting needle ? Or would you attempt to empty out the Mississippi with a gourd? No, gentlemen, I know you would not; then how can you be guilty of the absurdity of finding my client guilty of manslaughter for taken tho life of a -wo man?” Very Good. —The Evening Express says: —“Wherris a bedstead not a bedstead?— When it is a little buggy.” Sanguinary idea that.
