What NextP Mr. Flagg, Comptroller of the city of New York, has -has—actually refiweil an addition of s2,oooper annum to bin salary! 110 says Ins fellow citizens are already tax ridden, and lie both preaches and practices reform in city expenditures. Hurrah for Flagg ! Long may he wave ! Os Clean Idnen as an Agent of Moral Suasion. When philosophy, through the mouth of John Wesley, declared cleanliness to be next to godliness, it was a pregnant utterance, though the world, as often happens by great truths, failed to appreciate it—does not yet fully appreciate. Being much of Wesley’s opinion, wo must look with disfavor upon anew wristband, said to have been patented by a gentleman of Richmond, Va., and which may be described as an invention for concealing dirt. It consistssiinply of an extra cull, which in emergencies—sudden encounter with Un fair sex, sickness or dearth of washerwomen, limited supplies of soup or starch—may bo un furled in a tricu, while the soiled cuff is tuck ed out of sight, tho’ surely, not out of mind. We see not why the same process should not be applied to collars ; but we approve of neith er the one or the other. It is not the show of cleanliness —the dis play of it, that is desired by tho lovers of a “ daily change;” hut tho inwardconsciousness of being “all right”—the absolute knowledge that ono’s laundress, bath, and barber have done their duty. This it is, which increasing his self-respect, gives the m.tn of immaculate linen, a prouder stop, a confident air, self-pos session, and much of that ease which comoth of au immaculate conscience. Hut while look ing upon a stainless bosom as one of the great est luxuries vouchsafed to civilized man, it is also worthy of our consideration as a potent agent of moral suasion. The precise manner in which clean linen acts upon the inner man lias never been freely explained. It is certain however, that a sort of emulation is engendered between the bosom moral and the bosom linen. A man feels more like a gentleman, and is constrained to act like one, when arrayed in a gentleman’s attire, the grand, primordial, arch, keystone, corner stone of which, is, an unexceptionable bosom, pare as fallen snow, and collar unwrinkled as the cheek of infancy. Behold the dusty traveler as he leaves his omnibus for his room. How he avoids the g vzc of man; shrinks from companionship; is silent, moody, reserved. Were you on the lookout for some evader of the law, you might almost fancy him before you. But now look again. Behold him tripping down stairs, mer ry, complacent, smiling, full of talk, ready for a oordial meeting with a friend, or converse with a stranger. The man has recovered his self-respect! He has soaped, lathered, scrub bed, shaved, and is once more renewed—in a clean shirt. “ Richard's himself again !” It is reinurkable how intimate is the associa tion in the humnn mind, of moral, with physi cal, uncleanliness. In Holy Writ we find many instances of this. Bad tnen are there compared to swine, the untidicst of animated natures ; “ the sow has returned to her wal lowing in the miro”—other quotations might bo cited, but will veadily occur to the reader. In common life, wo have the epithets, “ Hag, Tag and Bobtail”—“ the Groat Unwashod”— “ scum of the earth”—“dregs of society”— “ offscourings of creation,” and many others, frequently appliod to that portion of mankind for whom false philanthropy builds modol prisons—who engage the attention of Police Courts, limbs of tho law, and the ehnritable societies; and who seldom or never rejoice in the luxuries of ablution, starched bosoms, and as a consequenco, respectability. Mr. Obe.- diali Oldbuck, of pleasant memory, called put ting on a clean shirt, “ turning over anew leaf”—the identical expression which, in com mon parlance, deuotes a cessation of wild-oat sowing, and return to something creditable.— Even Mahomet, a wiser and a better man than ho has credit for, knew the humanizing influ ences of soap and water. The Koran strictly enjoins daily lustrations: and tho’ tho permis sion to use the sa id of the desert when water was not to be had, seems inconsistent, it is only so at first sight. The sand is typical— the sand-bath a reminder of the daily duty, and a reaching after tho unattainable, highly commendable. We have not a doubt that uiauy a poor fellow has been unceremoniously disposed of—-jugged, calaboosed, manacled, hung—asdestituto of all moral principle, w hen the fact was, that he only wanted a clean shirt; was not a scoundrel at all, only could not af ford a washwoman. Os course there are exceptions. Dr. John son was not a tiil \ man. Goldsmith, even in his famous peach-blossom gown, was seldom presentable. Person, that noble Grecian, was absolutely unendurable—and so have been many other bright lights in the sky intellect ual. But all rules have exceptions ; another here occurs to us—the well-dressed villain. Byron hail his pocket picked by “ the most perfect gentleman he ever met;” if a gentle man, of course he gloried in a spotless bosom. Knowest then oh reader, why villains go well dressed.’ For the same reasons that caused Satan to steal the livery of Heaven. But we are to ask ourselves what bad men would be without clean linen. Who can tell how much they are restrained from evil by a shirt bosom swelling with indignation, at the dark thoughts beneath it!—how often they are rebuked by their frills, and manacled by their cuffs, so that they can with less ease to themselves, continue to work iniquity. Mr. Paul Clifford, but for his penchant for the unexceptionable in linen, might havo been a cut-throat: but for clean shirts from early infancy, the Rev. Dyo nysius Dobbs might have been a member of the swell-mob. We come then to the conclusion that among tile many agents of moral suasion, the wash tub, the bath, the barber, and the smoothing- iron, hold no mean place; | Reformers and philanthropists! stick a pin here.] and that the world, when it has been washed, dressed, shaved, and had its hair-brushed, will boa much better world. This era is the “ good time,” which has been so long “a coming.” Y’et let us not exaggerate the importance of clean linen. It is but one of many powers in the world—one of many liumanizers. Pic tures on the wall, flowers in the window, ca naries about and around, clean hearths, tidy house-wives —these too are powers in the world. Yon giant mass you see in the gutter, hath a spark of divinity in it that only needs bringing out. Comb out his matted hair, shave him, newly shirt him, take him home, throw a few comforts around him, and a lew luxuries—an affectionate, cheerful, female somebody, hustling around and keeping tilings in order, and you find him improving. I.et the comforts thicken about him, till lie begins to learn that lie too has a stake in the world, and he is further improved. Let him he brought daily within touch of gentle fingers; daily charm his ear with the soft prattle of a baby; daily provided him with a change of linen, and presently you have a good citizen, pro genitor mayhap, of a long line of good citi zens, some honorable to the state; some mighty and famous upon the face of the earth; some immortal and imperishable so long as virtue and trutli ahull survive. GEORGIA ITEMS. The store of Mr. J. V. Barbee, Savannah, was robbed last week, of goods to the amount of S2OO. Col. M. P. Stovall of Augusta has been elected a Director in the City Bank, to till a vacancy in the Board. Tho new Methodist Church in Grifiin was to have been dedicated yesterday, Dr. Means preaching the Sermon on the occasion. The Board of Health of Atlanta announce that City free from epidemic, and unusually healthy. The Court House at Blairsville, Union coun ty, was destroyed by fire on Monday night last, with all the papers and county records. It is supposed to have been the work of an in cendiary. We would suggest, inasmuch as Court House burning is getting fashionable, that the respective counties would do well to erect fire-proof rooms in which to secure their records. Several counties in Georgia have met with similar disasters to the above, within the past three or four years. The Records and Public Documents of the State, are not much better protected than those of the counties. That old shanty at Milledgeville, the capital has quite a habit of getting afire, and a few months ago, while the House was gone to din ner, we had the pleasure of informing the 11 ouse. Sweeper, that one of his mantle-pieces was well under weigh on the road to ashes, and after a good deal of trouble, tho fire was ex tinguished. As soon as the Records are de stroyed, thcro will be a fire-proof repository built—wc suppose for the ashes. The last Democratic Expositor, published at Dalton, contains the Valedictory of Mr. IVm. Gordon, its late Editor and Proprietor, and the Salutatory of Mr. Charles L Barbour, late of the Atlanta Examiner. The paper will continue its advocacy of Democratic princi ples. Mr. Barbour wields a ready and agree able pen, and wo wish him abundant success. As we understand Mr. Gordon’s remarks, Mr. Barbour assumes tho Proprietorship as well as the editorial chair of the Expositor. The Atlanta Hank building lias been bought by the Georgia ltnil Hoad and Banking Com pany—price $12,0110. The President of the Planters and Mechan ics Bank at Dalton, says, under date of May Oth, that after examination of the Bank’s af fairs he is fully satisfied of its solvency, and adds:—“lts means are ample and will still be increased so as to make it a respectable and reliable institution. It has never refused to redeem the first dollar pvesented ; aud will not unless prevented by a strong arm of the law, as in the ense referred to in the Atlanta Intel ligencer of the BOth ultimo, with which the Bank had uothing to do.” Measures are on foot to build a good wagon road across Ohftttagoota Mountain in tho di rection of Dirt Valley. The citizens on each side, are to construct their respective portions, meeting on top of the mountain. The Dalton Expositor estimates the benefits of the road to that City, at fifty to one hundred thousand dollars annually. An attempt was made on Wednesday night last, to fire a stable on the premises of l)r. Barnes, Savannah : hut the fire was discover ed aud extinguishad before any damage eu sued. The grammarian of the Cassville Standard, who supervises the orthography, of the edito rial fraternity, is requested to pitch into tho Atlanta Examiner, which has commenced using a “wee” for a “ w.” Not profiting by the Standard's castigation of the Dadeville Ban ner, the very last Examiner has a piece about the Wiceroy of Egypt. Ferderick Lewis Ferdinand Wardig, a native of Statseeu, Prussia, committed suicide in At lanta on Wednesday night last, by cutting his throat with a razor. Supposed cause some misunderstanding with his friends and family at home. The Examiner says : “For two years he was employed in the Georgia Kail Ken- 1 shop, and was considered a good workman; inoffensive aud industrious. He spoke several foreign languages; was in telligent, aud thirty-one years old when he committed the fearful act. By a friend of his, we are requested to call the attention of the pa pers in North Carolina, where the deceased has some friends, to these facts ; and to re quest the New York papers that exchange with the German or Prussian papers, to conv this article. - —-■ The prospect of a good Sugar crop in Louis- I*n R i S . P oor - The severity of the winter killed both seed and plant cane to a great ex tent, and though an attempt has been made to get cane from Cuba for planting, only three ship loads have been obtained—the Spanish government, from selfish motives purely, in terdicting further shipment. The sugar plant ers upon the highlands between Bayou Sara and Eaton Rouge, being utterly unable to get cane, have planted their fields with cotton. An incident occured recently in Albany New York, which sinugular and distressing as it is, has yet in it an element of the humorous, which wc defy anybody to help seeing and smiling at. But it must he a very small, quiet, respectful smile, for really it is a sad affair. A mother and her daughter were con lined at the same time and in the same house. The two young ‘strangers’ were put in the same cradle in the hurry of the moment, and sad to relate, the little ones got mixed, and hence forth and forever, it will be impossible to tell ••which is which ! ” We ure forcibly remind ed by this incident, of Jacob and Esau in Holy Writ, and of the two mothers who claim ed the babe before King Solomon. There are no Solomons now to decide such knotty ques tions; and the poor mothers, who are said to he very much distressed, will have to seek consolation in treating both billies as it each were their own. Nay, King Solomon may yet be consulted. His advice is, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Let this in junction lie followed, and in due season, if the mothers also walk in proper paths, the mys tery will lo solved and each may claim her own. A Good Price, Thackeray is to have S2S,DUO for a novel written during his sojourn in America, the pay for which lie receives on his arrival in Eng land. He cleared about $15,000 by his lec tures, so that he gets $50,000 for six months’ head and tongucwork. That is getting money “respectably” fast. —Raleigh ( C.) Star. Yes, but not as fast as our friend of the ►Star, who makes SIO,OOO clear in the above paragraph : fifteen and twenty-five are forty, by our arithmetic. The Treaty of Peace. We have already published a very good sy nopsis of the treaty of peace recently conclud ed between Russia and the Allies. The full treaty has come to hand, but we copy only the points made, in regard to Maritime Law, as few others have any interest for this country. The contracting powers have adopted the fol lowing “solemn declarations”: 1. Privateering is and remains abolished. 2. The neutral flag covers enemy’s goods, with the exception of contraband of war. 3. Neutral goods, with the exception of con traband of war, are not liable to capture under enemy’s flag. 4. Blockades in order to be binding must be effective, that is to say, maintained by a force sufficient really to prevent access to the coast of the enemy. The present declaration is not and shall not be binding, except between those powers who have acceded or shall accede to it. Done at Paris, the lGth of April, 185 G. In Luck. Mr. P. Kinsby, living near Cynthiana, Ky., awoke one morning last week, to find himself, not “famous,” but a great deal richer than he went to bed. There were born the night be fore on His plantation, eighteen mules, six calves, and six darkies ! A letter from Constantinople announces the marriage of Mr. Omer Pasha to Miss , (name not given) a daughter of Hafid Pasha, Esq., all of the former city. The bride is on ly fifteen years of age. Should we receive the customary printer’s fee, it will be promptly acknowledged. ♦ The killing of a menial is not reckoned a grave offence south of Mason and Dixon’s line. — Cor. A T . Y. Tribune, 9/A. We offer the above as a specimen of the ly ing abilities of Horace Greely, who writes the Tribune’s Washington letters. We say lying, because, mad as ho is, Horace knows better than that. The First Press in Mayence. Dr. Know, of Savanuah translates for the Republican, tho following paragraph from the Frankfort Journal of March 22d : “ Some laborers, while digging a cellar in the yard of the first printing office of J. Gul tenberg. the inventor of the art, of printing, discovered a piece of wood that evidently was a part of Guttenberg’s press. Attached to it is the nut of the main screw. The initials J. G. and the date 1441, are cut in it,” Strange Advertisement. We find the following in the New Orleans Evening Delta: SIOO,OOO. — Wanted —By a person who has one hundred thousand dollars and no heir, to adopt from birth, a child. It must be of American parents aud from one hour to ten days old; sex immaterial.

Applications must bo made within ten days. Address A, through the Postoffice or the Delta office. Gov. Miner, in his message to the Connecti cut Legislature, denounces slavery and the Kansas Nebraska act; speaks favorably of African Colonization ; recommends an exten sion of tho naturalization laws ; says that six military companies, composed almost entirely of foreigners, have been disbanded; recom mends tlve law passed last year requiring read ing and writing as a qualification of voters. Florida Indians. The Tallahassee Journal of the 10th inst., slates : By the Eastern mail of this morning we are in possession of a letter from Colonel Smith, of Columbia county, informing us that there are ludians in Levy county beyond a doubt, and that the little detachment ot volun teers commanded by Col. Wright are actually blocked up, awaiting reinforcements, which have been solicited by hasty despatches from Col. Wright to Col. M. Whit Smith. This is truly startling intelligence, calling for prompt and effective military movements to capture these bold savages, who have thus penetrated tin into the interior. The Governor, we pre surne, is in possession of all the facts. Irish Affairs. A letter from Ireland speaks encouragingly ot the tanners and the decrease of crime.- riie county of Tipperary Assizes, which here tofore lasted for weeks, this spriug occupied but a tew hours, in the trial of petty offences. .ord that in consequence of peace 40,000 of the Irish militia will be disbanded, the Irish who have been receiving high prices for their crops during the war. are said to be by no means rejoiced at peace. Conciliation Hall, in Dublin, where O’Connell so often held forth, is now an extensive flour store, and the termer headquarters of Young Ireland, in Lower Abbey street, is now used as a place of exhibition of a diorama of the war. telegraphic items. Prom Washington. May 15.—Ti.c U. States Senate has passed the hill granting land to Alabama and Florida tor Rail Road purposes. A message was re ceived from the President in relation to Cen tral American affairs, including the transit routes and the geueral condition of Nicaragua. He does not, however, in it enquire into the causes which led to the change of government, hut states that Padre Vijil had been received because satisfactory evidence exists that lie represents defaclo cl de Jure the government. The President, also, adduces numerous consid erations in reference to the propriety of his reception, and suggests additional measures for the security of the Transit route. The documents accompanying the message are vol uminous, and include the letters of Padre Vijil to Mr. Marcy, of President Rivas to President Pierce, a spicy correspondence between M. Molina and Mr. Marcy in relation to the late massacre of American at Virgin Bay, and cop ies of the instructions to the naval comman ders at that depot forattending to the interests of American citizens. Mr. Weller spoke warm ly in favor of Gen. Walker, and Mr. Critten den responded by stating that in less than ten days after the reception in Europe of the in telligence of the action of our government in regard to this question, a war would he on our hands. It is reported that Mr. Marcy yester day informed M. Marcoleta of the decision of our government to receive Padre Vijil as min ister, who protested against the decision, as being a violation of the laws of good nations, lie is, it is said, preparing a circular to the diplomatic corps complaining of the act. In the House, the resolutions of inquiry into the recent fatal affair at Willard’s Hotel were laid upon the table. Massachusetts on Kansas. Boston, May 13.—Resolutions in favor of the admission of Kansas under the Free State Constitution, and declaring its speedy admis sion as a free State a measure of the first im portance to tlie welfare of the Territory and the tranquility and liouor of the United States, were passed to a third reading in the Senate to-day, by a vote of 20 to 2. . Barnum Tending Bar. In the course of Barnum’s examination, on Thursday, the following spicy retorts were elicited: Q. What business are you engaged in ? A. My only occupation at present is tend ing bar. Q. How long have you been occupied in this business ? A. Ever since the lawyers have beoupulling me up to the hars of the different courts. Q. Have you any interest in publications of any description in the city of New York, or elsewhere ? A. 1 tell you most distinctly that I have no interest in any publication, nor any other bu siness whatever in the whole country. Q. Have you no interest, contingent, or oth erwise, in Redfield’s publication of your auto biography ? Interlocutory.—Mr. Stogdill.—We are after the crumbs that fall from the rich man’s ta ble. Mr. B.—Are you the dogs or Lazarus ? (Laughter.) The counsel subsequently gave notice that he should move tho Court for a receiver. Laying it on a Woman. The Washington correspondent of the Tri bune says ; “It is stated here that good rea sons exist for believing that Sheriff'Jones of Kansas, was shot by a woman.” This cow ardly shift is in keeping with Abolition chiv alry.—Sav. Republican. Capital for Young Men. It is a consolation for all right-minded young men, that though they may not be able to command as much pecuniary capital as they would wish, to commence business them selves, yet there is a moral capital which they can have that will weigh as much as money with persons whose opinion is worth having. And it does not take a great while to accumu late a respectable amount of this capital. It consists of truth, honesty and integrity; to which may be added decision, courage, firm ness and perseverance. With these qualities, there aro few obstacles which can not be over come. Friends spring up and surround such a young man almost by magic. Confidence flows out to him, and business accumulates on his hands faster than he ean ask it. And in a few short years such a young man is far in advance of many who started with him, hav ing equal talents and larger pecuniary means; ere long our young man stands foremost, trust ed and loved. Would that we could induce every youthful reader to commence life on the principle that moral capital is the thing after all. French Maritime Inlluence. A Paris letter writer says that, now that peace is concluded, the Emperor is bent upon pursuing the darling object of his heart—that of creating a maritime influence for France, which shall make her as pre-eminent on the seas as her military power has been on land. “Our military glory,” lie says, “has touched the skies, but it has only been to make the cloven foot of clay more obvious. I must have France a great commercial nation, and Algiers shall lie a nursery for our navy. The Lyons and Mediterranean Railway connect the sea in the east with Paris. Havre de Grace as well connects it with the sea of the North.” He en tertains the scheme of cutting a vast ship ca nal from Havre to Paris, a distance of 150 miles. In the House on Monday last, a resolution was offered by the Hon. A. 11. Stephens and adopt ed, asking information from the Secretary of’ State respecting custom-house regulations ap plicable to American cotton in the principal commercial countries, the amount of cotton exported, and the aggregate amount of duties derived therefrom; the quantities of cotton imported into Great Britain. France and Spain respectively ; and the countries whence imported, the qualities of cotton exported by Great Britain to nil countries respectively: also, the amount of cotton manufactures ex ported from this country and Great Britain, and each statement embracing a period of five }ears: and such other general information concerning tho cotton trade ns could he fur nished.
