THE UNION OF THE STATES, ANII TIIE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES.
COLUMBUS, GA. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1846.
The act of the Legislature passed in 1836 au
thorizes the corporate authorities of the City of
Columbus to providb £L suitable hospital for per
sons afflicted with any infectious disease to fur
nish them with subsistance, medicine and nurses,
provide a Guard &c* Under this statute it was
lawful to remove persons afflicted with the small
pox to the hospital and the public safety absolute
ly required that it should be done, and the same
act which gives this authority also made provi
sions for the payment of expenses by the State.
This part of the statute has been repealed without
designating, who, under such circumstances shall
bear the burden. I cannot perceive the justice
in requiring the corporate authorities of the city
to pay all the expenses for medicine and atten
dance to such cases merely because the public
law and public safety enjoins upon them the per
formance of certain duties. Humanity requires
that all cases should be provided for by the City
Council and properly attended to, but justice also
requires that all those who are able should reim
burse the city for the expenses actually incurred
for medical attention and nursing.
JFithout asserting what would be the decision
of a Court of Justice, 1 have no hesitation in say
ing that the justice of the case indicates that an
effort should be made by the city authorities to
compel those who are amply able to pay the
amount actually expended for their benefit.
Yours &c. WILEY WILLIAMS.
On motion the above report was received and
accepted*
Alderman Ruse moved to take up the case of

By Alderman Billing: WTiereas, the object de
signed in the mode of accepting efird issuing con
tracts for crossing the Bridge for the year 1846,
has failed to produce the desired effect in so re
ceiving contracts and issuing tickets : Be it
therefore resolved, That the parties taking out
contracts shall not be required to present a ticket
at each crossing, but that they be allowed to
cross in any manner defined in their propositions,
and as often as they desire.
Be it further resolved, That all persons bring
ing poultry or vegetables to market far sale, be
permitted to cross the Bridge free of toll ; pro
vided, nothing in this resolution shall be so con
strued as to permit persons crossing who may at
tempt evading toll by placing a few ofthose arti
cles in their wagons.

THE VOICES AT THE THRONE.
BY T. WESTWOOD.
A little child;
A littld meek-faced; quiet; village child
Sat singing, by her cottage door at eve,
A low, sweet Sabbath song. No human ear
Caught the faint melody—no human eye
Beheld the upturned aspect; or the smile
That wreathed her innocent lips the while they
breathed
The oft-repeated burden of the hymn,
“Praise God ! praise God !”
A Seraph by the Throne
In the full glory stood. With eager-hand,
He smote the golden harpstrings, till a Hood
Os harmony on the celestial air
Welled forth, unceasing. Then with a great
voice,
He sang the “Holy, Holy, evermore,
Lord God Almighty !” and the eternal courts
Thrilled with the rapture, and the hierarchies,-
Angel, and rapt archangel; throbbed and burned
With vehement adoration* Higher yet
Rose the majestic anthem without pause,
Higher, with rich magnificence of sound,
To its full strength; and still the infinite heavens
Rang with the “Holy, Holy, evermore !”
Till trembling from excess of awe and love;
Each sceptred spirit sank before the Throne,
With a mute hallelujah. But, even then,
While the ecstatic song was at its height,
Stole in an alien voice—a voice that seemed
To float, float upward from some world afar—
A nieek aiid Child like voice, faint, but how
sweet!
That blended with the seraph’s rushing strain,
Even as a fountain’s music; with the roll
Os the reverberate thunder* Loving 6iniles
Lit Up the beauty of each angel’s face
At that new utterance. Smiles ofjoy that grew
Morejoyous yet, as ever and anon
IFas heard the simple burden of the hymn;
“ Praise God ! praise God !” And when the se
raph’s song
Had reached its close, and o’er the golden lyre
Silence hung brooding—when the eternal courts
Rung but with echoes of his chant sublime;
Still, through-the abysmal space, that wandering
voice,
Came floating upwards from its world afar;
Still murmured sweet on the celestial air,
“Praise God ! praise God !”
BYE-GONE S.
“ Let bye-gones be bye-gones”—they foolishly
say,
And bid me be wise, and forget them ;
But old recollections are active to day,
And I can do nought but regret them i
Tho’ the present be pleasant, all joyous and gay,
And promising well for the morrow,
I love to look back -on the years past away,
Embalming my bye-gones in sorrowi
If the morning oflife has a mantle of grey,
Its noon will be blither and brighter.
If March has its storm, there is sunshine in May,
And light out of darkness is lighter;
Thus the present is pleasant, a cheerful to-day,
With a wiser, a soberer sadness,
Because it is tinged with the mellowing ray
Os a yesterday’s sunset of gladness.
SONNET.
BI EMMA C. EMBt’BT.
He who has travelled through some weary day,
And reached at summer eve a green hill side,
Whence he can see, now veiled in twilight gray,
The dreary path through whidh he lately hied,
While o’er his onward road the setting sun
Sheds its sweet beam on every wayside flower;
Forgets his labors Ore the goal be won,
And in his heart enjoys the quiet hour.
Father and mother—-be it so with you !
While memory’s pleasant twilight shades be
past.
May hope illume the way ye still pursue,
And each new scene seem brighter than the
last ;
Thus wending on toward sunset, may ye find
* Life’s lengthening shadows ever cast behind.
MISCELLANY.
From Morris’s NationaTPresa;
THE MAN OP LEISURE.
‘You’l please not forget to ask the place for me,
sir,’ said a pale blue eyed boy, as he brushed the
coat of the man of leisure at his lodgings.
* Certainly not,’ said Mr. Inklin. ‘I shall be
going that way in a day or two.’
‘Did you ask for the place for me yesterday !*
said the pale boy, on the following day, with
quivering lip, as he performed the same office.
‘No,’ was the answer. ‘I was busy, but I will
to-dav.’
‘ Heaven help my poor mother,’ murmured the
boy, and gazed listlessly on the cent, Mr. Inklin
.laid in his hand.;
The boy went home. He ran to the hungry
children with a loaf of bread he had earned by
brushing the gentlemen’s coat at the hotel.—
They shouted with joy, and his mother held out
her emaciated hand for a portion, w hile a smile
flitted across her facc
‘Mother, dear,’ said the boy, ‘Mr. Inklin thinks
he can get me the place, and I shall have three
meats a day ; only think mother, three meals !
and it won’t take me three minutes to run home
and share them with you.’
The morning came, and the pale hoy’s voice
trembled with eagerness as lie asked Mr. Inklin
if be had applied for the place.
‘ Not yet j’ said the man of leisure ; ‘but there
is time enough.’
The cent that morning, was wet with tears.—
Another morning arrived.
‘lt k very thoughtless in the hoy to be so late,’
said Mr. Inklin. ‘Not a soul here to brusfimy
coat.’
The child came at length, his face swollen with
weeping.’
‘I am sorry to disappoint you,’ said the man
ofleisuie, ‘but the place in Mr. C.’s store was
taken up yesterday.
The boy stopped brushing, and burst afresh in
to tears. I don’t care, now,’ said he sobbing,
‘wc may as well starve. Mother isdead.’.
The man of lekure was shocked, and he gave
the pale boy a dollar.
, Mr. Inklin was taken ill. He said often that
he thought religion might’ be a good th’ffg,
and meant to look into it. An anxious friend
brought a clergyman with him. He spoke ten
derly, hut seriously, to the sufferer, of eternal
truth. ,
‘Call to-inorrow,’ said the Irian of leisure, ‘and
we will talk about these matters.’
That night the man of leisure died!
Cost Ct Food.—Mr. Walsh states that in
Paris a pound of meat costs the day’s wages of a
good work-woman. Froportionably to the pop
ulation, the consumption of animal food was, in
1789, fifty per cent, more than it is at the pres
ent time. The Journal des Debats proved this
allegation, and” argued that'meat diet is . far the
most conducive to human strength and energy.
A large majority have pronounced in favor of a
bill altering the tax on cattle introduced into ci
ties, the effect of whfch was to render meat more
attainable by the laboring classes, which the
Journal des Debat's proclaims truly democratic ,
as it is designed and n4u6t operate for the wel
fare of the people . Lamartine exclaimed, in
the debate: “We live in a democracy, let us
give the people cheap living.”

PROGRESS OP THE ORDER OP ODD
FELLOWS.
There probably never has been a period in the
history of Odd Fellowship, when public attention
was so pointedly directed to the Order, as at the
presciit time. It is true that very many have
been drawn into its folds, and induced to enrol
themselves among its members, from witnessing
the deeds of Charity and Love, which it every
where exhibits to the world. Pure benevolence
has led them to join in the dissemination of good
throughout the land; while with some the perse
cutions which the Order has experienced from
those who opposed its progress through igno
rance, pressed on by the impulse of malice, an
attachment of themselves to the Order has been
the result. These processes in other days were
slow and gradual in their working, but of late,
enlarged accessions have been made to our ranks,
of all classes, and the Order now presents a pha
lanx of benevolent spirits, w-ho are extending the
borders of Friendship, Love and Truth among
men; The truth is, the Order of Odd Fellow
ship, presents to the mind a wonderful agent in
the melioration of wo, and misery in the world;
arid no wonder men should embrace opportuni
ties to unite themselves to a Brotherhood, that
breathes Charity and Love, and litis the drooping
spirit from its despondency, into the sun-light of
its inherent goodness. There are attractions in
Odd Fellowship, and because of our knowledge
of it, we marvel not that its ranks art? so rapidly
enlarging, and that it now reaches its arms of
Benevolence and Good Will, almost from Pole to
Pole; There is a heaven-borne sublimity in its
principles; they connect man with his God in
deeds of holy Charity: they impress him with the
dignity of man, proudly enrobe him in the habil
aments of goodness, and if a faithful Odd Fel
low, point out to him those bright beams of
hope, and happiness in another and a better
world. ‘‘Whosoever will come, let him corner
wide as the earth are its invitations, no distinc
tions of wealth, or honor, or power, limits its ac
tion. Let its principles be bound close to the
heart, and may each one of those who claim the
name of an Odd Fellow, be onciu deed and in
truth.— [lris.

SCIENCE.
A Belgian philosopher has late discovered
that the electric light, which is more intensely
lustrous than any other, when directed lipon
certain parts of the human body, gives them a
transparency, which enables us plainly toi per
ceive the arteries, veins and nerves, and study
the working of these organs while in action.—
This discovery, joined with that of the stetho
scope, will be of the greatest use in investiga
ting the causes of derangements in the aniriiat
economy.
Dr. Polli, of Milan, known to the medical
world for his researches in science, has sent to
the congress of savans at Naples a memorial, in
which he describes a mode by which sea-water
may be rendered potable by means of electricity.
The Universal German Gazette announces
that a certain Baron de Hackew’itz has invented
a galvanic plastic process, by which at a single
blast he can cast the largest cannon; and they
will be far superior in solidity to cannon cast in
the common way. Mr. de Humboldt and Cap
tain Foster of the artillery have examined this
invention and recommended it to the king of
Prussia who is about to purchase it for. the use
of his armies. TliC inventor's price is 36,000
thalers.
Among the reinforcements, about to be sent to
the light artillery in Africa, there is a battery,
furnished with new apparatus—consisting of:
Ist. Ail inflamable match, which discharges
the cannon by a chemical process, without the
presence of lire; 2d. An adaption of the wheels
by which the piece may be drawn over places
apparently inaccessible; 3d. Suspended cais

loses one-third of its strength.
TAKE THE OTHER HAND.
It was one of the first days of spring, when e
lady who had been watching by the sick bed of
her mother for some weeks, went out to take a
little exercise and enjoy the fresh air. She hoped
that she might hear a bird sing, or see some wild
: flowers which would speak to her of her future
hope, for her heart was full of anxiety and sor
row. After walking some distance, she came to
a rope-walk. She was familiar With the place,
and entered. At one end of the building she
saw a little boy turning a latge wheel; she
thought it trio laborious for such a child, and she
came near, and spoke to him.
“ Who sent you to this place?” she gsked.
“ Nobody—l came of myself”
“Docsyour father know you are here?”
“I have no father.”
“ Are you paid for your labor?”,
“ Yes, I get nine pence a day.”
“What do you do with your money I
“ I give it all to my mother.”
“ Do you like this work?”
“ Well enough; but if I did not, I should do
it that I might get money for my mother.”
“ How long do you work in the day?”
“From nine tri eleveri’ in the iporning, and
from two till five in the afternoon.”
“ How old are you ?”
“ Almost nine.”
“Do you ever get tired of turning this great
wheel?”
! “Yes; sometimes.”
“ What do you do then?”
“I TAKE THE O'rUER HAITI).”
The lady gave him 1 p&Sce of mony.
“Is “(Fls’ for my mother?” he asked, looking
pleased.
“No; it is for yourself.”
“ Thank you ma’am,” the boy said,’ and the
lady bade him farewell/
She went home strengthened in her devotion
to duty, and instructed in true practical philoso
phy, by the words and example of a child; and
she said to herself, the next time that duty seems
hard tome, I will imitate the child and take the

Cahteu the Li ox Kjxg. —Carter, the cele
brated Lion King, possessed perhaps as much
daring and self-possession as has ever been
known. A full grown and powerful Bengal ti
ger was landed out of an Indiaman for him, and
was to be trained for his theatrical exhibitions.—
.Carter expressed n'cfcoricerh’at the task, nor an
ticipated any difficulty; and when he judged
the fitting moment had arrived he caused the
door of the cage to be opened, and suddenly
;stood iir the presence of the astonished beast,
armed merely with a"slight horsewhip. Cowed
by the effrontery and stem glance of the man,
the tiger crouched in the most distant corner of
the cage, terror-stricken. A blow of the whip,
and an indication of the finger, sent the now
submissive beast to another corner} and thus it
was kept off the move from spot to spot, till Car
ter, retiring from the cage, declared its entire
subjugation. The feats of this extraordinary
man on the stage are well known, but he would
often amuse himself in private by mafching.his
strength against that of his animals, I have
seen him, for instance, release a puma from its
cage, and seizing the beast by its tail, attempt to
drag it along; i ndeed, I do not believe he knew
what fear war,’ Frequently cn the stage he has
been severely bitten and mauled, without exhib
iting the slightest uneasiness, or even fear of
the beast, which had converted its feigned fe
rocity into an actual attack. ’ Altogether, his
command over his animals was an astonishing
exhibitioft, and proved forcibly bow completely
the majesty and dauntless daring of man can
affect dominion.— E. P. Thompson.
AGRICULTURAL.
From the American Agriculturist.
TOO MUCH LAND.
During a recent excursion in this and some of
the N. England States, I was st ruck with the com
parative sterility of the land which might by pro
per cultivation become “the garden of the world.”
Instead of seeing fields of wheat bearing thirty
bushels to the acre, we find scarcely twelve to
fifteen in the yield; where two tons of hay should
be cut, hardly one is the product; where thriving
fruit trees might be expected, bending beneath the
weight of their delicious fruit, our eyes are pain
ed by the sight of gnarled, stunted and half dead
trees, scarcely able to sustain the lilc of the few
curled Up leaves that come forth as if to reproach
theirowners by the sight oftheir consumptive ap
pearance. If they had tongues to speak how
bitterly they would complain oftheir treatment.
Is it because nature is so miserly that she docs
not reward man for the labor he bestows on her,
or because man will not let her yield a bountiful
supply in’ reward for his labor 1 What is the cause
of this sterility, and the complaints of tlic farmers
that they cannot make a living, though they have
hundreds of acres at their command ? It is evi
dent the fault is with themselves. They attempt
the cultivation of too much land. ,
Our farmers have from fifty to five hundred
acres under what they call cultivation. Still they
are in debt,, and in many cases the more they pos
sess the ‘worse they are oil'. Their land is scat
tered far and near. Two acres here and ten
there, instead of being compact together. In this
■manner, more time they often lose in going fijom
one lot to another, in the buihliug fences for other
people and keeping out the cattle, than the whole
income of the land amounts to. I have myself
lost more time in this way in a single year, than it
would take to keep ten acres in the finest condi
tion.
What is the remedy ? Sell half of vour land
and spend the proceeds of it on the remainder, ami
thus make what you ha ve, y ield a liberal income.
Depend upon it, there is no course so suicidal as
owning and attempting to cultivate two hundred
acres, when you can hardly do justice to one hun
dred. Suppose, for instance, a man has fifty
acres of naturally good land and he has blit a cer
tain amount of mature, time, &c., to use in its cul
tivation, which is not enough to keep it in heart,
lor to pity that attention to rotation of crops, which
it requires, is it not evident that the land, the own
er, or whoever is connected with it must suffer 1
: Would not all intelligent persons condemn such a
course? Yet how many such instances are to ho
seen all around us ? I believe it would be for the
i interest of mapy farmers eycn to give away a
portion of their land, rather than have so mucli in
their case. Self-interest tells us it is the policy of
’such a man to sell what he cannot properly use,
for he would gain tirile to devote to the remainder,
money to purchase all it required, his crops would
yield in double rfe'tjbjjfis land increase in value as
’it increased infertility, arid thus he would be in
every way benoflttbil.
I have seen acres of the best land, overrun with
daisies, mullens, and other noxious plants, that
root out the grass, and eat up the life of the soil,
without affording nourishment to either man or
beast, which might by a little attention yield a
rich harvest. But the farmer has no time to at
tend to it, and the land becomes worse than use
less ; for it is self-evident that land must either
increase in fertility or decrease in value—there is
no middle way—it must afford a profit or be an
expense.
Look again at the swamp and’ meadow lands,
with which out country abounds, that are not on
ly worthless, but causing sickness and death in
the vicinity. All these might be reclaimed and
made the most productive lands, by a small out
lay of capital; the owners have neither, because
they have too much land already calling for their
attention. The muck contained in these places,
can be made to pay better interest than bank
notes. Yes, if properly used, it may be made
the farmers mine of wealth.
This leads me to inquire how are our 1 inds to he
rightly cultivated ? I reply, by using the experi
ence of those who have studied the chemical for
mation of soils, and the effect which different
manures have on different soils. Much time is
lost and land injured, by the farmer not knowing
the relative value of his manures and the theory
of rotation of crops, which might be saved by the
expenditure C/f a'liule time and money in procur
ing and reading agricultural books and papers.—
There is too much of the saving a cent and losing
a dollar economy in. this age. When the time
shall have arrived, that men will be willing to
study the theory and practice of farming in all its
details, then shall we see agricultural pursuits ele
vated to a'proper standing, and yielding a profit
that Will rejoice the hearts of all.

IMPROVEMENT OF SEED CORN.
Mr. Editoii -We have a neighbor out here
who has not full faith in the doctrine, that wc
should go to niill with a peck of corn in one end
of the sack, balanced at the other with a lew
brickbats, because our grandaddies did so. lie
commenced four years ago to improve a common
variety of white corn, by selecting his seed in
,tlie field, frorii such stalks as produced two cars.
He has continued this practice since that time,
and now, instead of having only one or two cars
on a stalk, as is common here, he has on some
stalks five or six, several of which arc good-sized
rears. Two ears to a stalk are quite common
now, whereas, four years ago, tlic same corn
planted and tilled in the same manner, seldom
yielded more than one.
SALTPETRE AS A MANURE.
One hundred weight of saltpetre per acre was
sown by hand, on the 6th day of last April, on a
crop of growing wheat, and to prevent any error
which might have arisen from a difference in soil
on one side of the field from another, the saltpe
tre was carefully applied to every t-.vo alternate
ridges: the two crops were reaped and threshed
separately, the result being an increase of six
bushels of wheat, and upward two and a half hun
dred of straw per acre, obtained at an outlay of
225. sterling only. The effected on clover, and
other lays, is truly astonishing.— Ex, paper.
ADVICE TO MEN IN DEBT.
Ascertafri'thc whole state of your affairs.—
“Learn exactly how much you owe. Be not guil
ty of deceiving yourself. You may thus awaken
suspicions of dishonesty, when your intentions
wrere i otherwise.
Deliberately arid fully make up your mind,
that come what will, you will practice no con
cealment or trick which might have the appear
ance of fraud. Openness and candor command
the respect of all good men.
Remember that no man is completely ruined
among men, until his character is‘ gone.
Never consent to hold as you? own, one far
thing which rightfully belongs to others.’
As you are at present in circumstances of great
trial, and as many eyes are upon you, do nothing
rashly. Ifyotfneed advice, consult only a few.
Let them be disinterested persons of the most
established reputation.
Beware of feelings of despondency. Give not
place for an hour to useless and enervating mel-’
aicholy. Bea man.
Reduce your expenditures to the lowest a
ynount.
Care not to figure as others around you.
Industriously pursue such lawful and honest
arts of industry as are left; to you. An hour’s
industry will do more to beget cheerfulness, sup

a month’s moaning.
If you must stop business, do it soon enough
to avoid the just charge of an attempt to involve
your unsuspecting friends.
Learn from your present difficulties the utttei
vanity of earthly things.
