The Savannah Georgian Hi Journal of the 7th instant ways: Mr. Martin, Clerk of the Su preme Court, has sent us the following uoticc for publication. That it may the more cer tainly receive the attention of the bar, we give it a place in our editorial columns: Ci.kkk’s Orrtcß Svrktxt Corin’ of Ga. ) Milledgeville, sth January, 1857. / The docket of January term of the Supreme (Cm tat Savannah will be arranged as follows: Cases from the Middlo Circuit first; cases from the Casteru Circuit second. Robert E. Martin, Clerk. AiTowumltli’i Couhlu. Some Englishman lihh been'writing u letter front Selma, Alabama, to the Loudon News, under dnle of 18tli November lust, in which lie gives the Selma Hotels and Southern things and people, generally, some impudent rubs. He is supposed to be one of the Arrowsmith family. —Exchange jjajjer. We guess the writer of the Selma letter is a Black Republican of the universal Yankee fam ily, who wishes to palm himself off on the pub lic for a learned “ furre.nner We think wedis cover a “great white beard under his muffler.” High Price of Negroes. The Montgomery (Ala.) Messenger of the 7th instant says: We mentioned something yesterday of the vale of negroes on Monday, but we did not give the highest price paid, which was, a fel low, field hand, SIBOO. The lot of sixteen— of which the above was one—-old, young, and every description, averaged something over SBOO each. Yesterday another lot was sold here, bringing large prices—the highest, we leHtn, bringing SIOOO. <in Tuesday last, the sale day in Muscogee county, we are credibly informed by the sell ers that a lot of negroes—a largo one-* 4 old and young, and every description, averaged” ■vifioO each. Now who can believe there is no money in the couutry 7 And negroes hired at very high rates—ordinary female servants were bid off'at $l2O and upwards, and otheis in proportion. Female Humorists. Was there ever a female humorist? As there is a dearth ot news and the slmdsubject haviug been laid under the table and voted a bore, we Lave concluded to introduce this novel ques ii'>n Although it may seem strange, we never have known the quality of humor exhibited by a single female, either in conversation or in writing. Others perhaps of keener observation and more extended opportunities may have arrived at a different conclusion. We regard absence of this quality of the mind in the sex rather a beauty than a blemish. Their wit may charm and dazzle—their surcaßui may Mast surprise aud instruct, but their sensibili ties, are tooacute and refined ever to become humorists. Women never perpetrate, and very few relish a joke. They always kill their vic tims mentally with the point, rather than the side-wind of their shafts. No female, never has, nor never will, write a hook like Don Quixote or lrviug’s History of New York. Shnkspeare in his varied aud ac curate descriptions of female character, never conceived the portrait of a female Falstaff: Ins universal and godlike genius could find no counterpart to such a gross and interesting monster in (ho moral and mental universe. Parson Brownlow and his Jonesboro’ Cus tomers. The last Knoxville Whig contained a charac teristic aud pathetic appeal from its editor to Lis former customers at Jonesboro, where the Whig was originally published. He offers to take bills on tlip Bank of East Tennessee, which are worth twenty cents to the dollar, in full payment, and adds : “Persons wishing to square up with us can now do so. Jf, however, they wish to get off at a cheaper rate, they can withhold even these bills, and we promise during the coming year, to receipt them in full through the pa par, lot ever, and file our claims against them in the High t'haneery of Heaven, aud let them settle with their God in the world to come! “And to leave all without excuse, we further agree to take Shanghai chickens, hoop-skirts, Loot-jack a, broom-corn, baby-jumpers, fishing tackles, patent medicines, sucking pigs, frozen cabbage, old clothes, oolt’s revolvers, second band tooth brushes, giuger-cakes, parched con. circus tickets, or any other article found in a country retail store! ” —— ♦ -—— Clone to Glory. Mr. Peters, the well known Georgia Agiicul tuvist, is delivered to lame, in the following lilies of the New Years’ Address of the Atlanta Intelligencer: “And Mr. Peters, a little further up thestreet, .'Mirrouuded with his wooly goats and hairy sheep, It worth more to the country than the Califor nia mine, With his improved breeds of cat tie, goats, sheep and swine.” ♦ “ How much do you pay your waiters at this hotel?” asked au irascible gent, of the proprietor of a restaurant. “One dollar per diem, sir.” “Well, credit me with thirty cents, theu, for 1 waited two hours for my steak, ami one hour for my muffins.” Always Knaw It. I'lie result of the late electiou, on the part of the From outers, reminds us of the story fold sometime ago of a lad who was asked : “Hw much did your pig weigh ? ” “Nt a quarter a* much as we expected; we always knew it wouldn’t.” An Alphabet of Self-Made Men. The following, from Household Words, gives, in a brief space, the names and characteristics of eminent living characters who have raised themselves by their own exertions: To begin with the letter A,bind dash hastily and skippingly on through the alphabet, we find that Anderson, the popular Danish novel ist, was the son of a cobbler, and educated at a charity school, and that he tried to gain a liviug by handicraft trades, being frequently on the brink of starvation. Bereuger, the Cel ebrated French lyric poet, neglected by bis vagabond father, lived with hi“ godfather, who was a poor tailor, and was a gamin on the streets of Paris, till promoted for a time to the dignity of pot-boy. Elihu Burritt, as wo all know, was a blacksmith’s apprentice. Carlo toil, the Irish novelist, who now enjoys a pen sion of £2OO a year, is the soli of a peasant, aud begged his way to knowledge. Rafael t'arrera, President of the Republic of Guate mala, began life as a drummer boy and a rat tle driver. Mr. Cobdou is the son of a small farmer, and entering a warehouse in London when a hoy, rose through itsviuiou- grades of service. Hir William Cubit was a working miller, then a joiner, and then a millwright. Dumas, the great French novelist and drama list, is the illegitimate son of a farmer and negress, and was in all but starvation in Paris, till he hit upon the way to distinction. Fara day, the eminent chemist, is the son of a poor blacksmith, and began his career ns the ap prentice to a bonklrinder. .Millard Fillmore, late President of the United states, was first a ploughboy, then tried the trade of a clothier, and was then apprenticed to u wool carder. Herring, the animal painter, began the pro fession of nrt with sign boards ami couch panels. Jasmin, the Burns of the South of France, was the son of a tailor and the grand son of a common beggar. Mr. Lindsay, M. I’., the great ship owner, left his home with Bs. Bd. in his pocket, to push liis fortunes as a ship boy; he worked his passage to Liverpool by assisting in the coal bole of a steamer; and for a part of the time after he arrived, begged during the day, and slept in the sheds and streets at night. Lough, the distinguished sculptor, began the world in the capacity of a ploughboy. Millie, the inventor of the well known rifle, was a common soldier. Robert Owen was a shop boy to si grocer, and then a draper. Johannes lloogc. the leader of the German Catholic movement, tended sheep when a boy. Stanfield, the diatinguished land scape painter, was a cabin boy, and the ship muster was his first patron. Tillers, the well known historian aud ex-minister of France, is the son of a blacksmith, and was educated gratuitously at the public school of Marseilles. Thomas Wright, the Manchester prison phi lanthropist, was a weekly worker in an iron foundry for forty-seven years, till a large sum of money was raised by subscription to enable him to carry on his philanthropic labors. There is an encouragement here, we fancy, for the down-heartened ; and likewise rebuke for those who are continually harping on the wrongs of the indigent, and the impassable barrier between the high and the low. Proud of Being a Mother. “Grace Greenwood,” (Mrs. Lippincott,) in an address to mothers in the last number of The Little Pilgrim, thus rejoices that she has “done something for her country: ” “Since 1 last addressed you, another year has passed over us—a peaceful and fortunate year to most of you, I trust, yet, doubtless, bringing to the happiest hearts and homes, something of sorrow. To me it lias brought the most profound sweet, the most solemn and sacred happiness of womanhood—for within this year 1 have been joined to the great and noble army of mothers—l am now one of you. Oh, if there is ajtiine when woman may feel that she, like Mary of old, is “blessed among wo men,” it is when she folds in her arms her first born child—feels the touch of its tender little hands thrill on her heart-strings—feels on her cheek the first soft breath of a life immortal— sees faintly twinkling in the misty depths of sleepy little eyes, a love that shall yet lighten the world for her. This joy unspeakable, this holy triumph of maternity, is Heaven’s abun dant compensation for all that is suffered by woman—for all that is denied to her. With existence renewed and freshened by the inflow ing of this pure rill from the divine fountain of life—with my heart made move tender and loving by the sweet, mysterious influences by which babyhood—mighty in helplessness, and without speech, most eloquent—comes to us— I feel like consecrating myself anew to the service of such as Jesus took in his arms and blessed—and of you, whom maternity makes kin to her once elected to tho highest joy and deepest anguish of mortality—her whom He most loved aud most tenderly remembered in his last hour.” ♦ Annual Appointments by the Governor. Wtu. Turk, Principal Keeper of the Peni tentiary. B. S. Ores well, Assistant Keeper. W. A. Williams, Book Keeper. l)r. T. Fort, Physician. Matt C. Butts Arsenal Reaper, Millcdge ville. S. B. Haupt, Arsenal Keeper, .Savannah. The office of Inspector of the Penitentiary dispensed with—the Legislature calling atten tion of the Governor as to the necessity of the office and heregardingit unnecessary.—South ern If reorder. ™ —• The Lyonnais Passengers. The Diario dc la Marina of the 25tli ultimo, has a paragraph in which the Alborodo, a journal of Villa Clara, in Central Cuba, an nounces tho safety of Souor Kulate and his wife, who were passengers on board the ill fated Lyonnais. According to this accouut they were pickod up with “some other passen gers,” whose names and number are not given, on November sth, the next day after the wreck, by a British vessel, and carried to Jamaica, whence the news of their eseape has reached Villa darn, of which place Senor Kulate was formerly Lieutcnaut Governor. But this ac count is not confirmed by advices either from Havana or Jawaiou, front both which points late advices have been received, and where the supposed rescue, if true, ought to have been better known than at Villa Clara, a small town on the South side of Cuba nenr Cicnfue gos, At tho same time with this report conies ♦Mother of ship Beauty haviug found on her outward voyage to Jamaica on the Oth Novem ber, a boat of the Lyonnais, containing among other things a cambric handkorohief, with the letters “F. K.” This handkerchief possibly belonged to Madume Kulate, and from its find ing arose tho story of her rescue and that of the others. ♦ Fatal Affray, An affray occurred in this county on Satur day, the 27th uIL, between Mrs. Thames aud Cobb. Mr. Luke Avery being present, attempted to suppress the difficulty, when Cobb, druwiug a dirk knife, stabbed hint through the hcavt, killing him instantly. It is said the murder was done without justifiable cause. John Cobb is still at large, having fled immediately after doing this rash deed.— V"// • ttvall (A fit. ) Herald. The Cotton Crop of 1556. Senators and Representatives in Congress, from ail the cotton-growing States, agree in the opinion that the cotton crop will be-one touiili short of that of last year, and that it wili riot! exceed two millions,seven hundred thousand bale.-. They give this opinion as tho result of observation. : and conversations witii their constituents, while canvassing their dis tricts previous to the late election. Their views are in -übstance as’ follows In Texas the crop will exceed that of 1855, by 20 per cent., in consequence of increase of land in cultivation, and hands from immigration. 1 n some portions of Arkansas, the increase will be 10 per cent, from a similar caused while in ofLer portions it will fall short ,20 percent. Louisiana reports t!*c crop 20 per cent, short; Mississippi from ouu-quartor to otic-half short. Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee. North Carolina and Florida, tell a like story; and in Sdutli Carolibn between one-fourth and one third shot t, —— + The caso of .Massachusetts against Rhode | Island lias been decided in the Supreme Court of the United .States. The'.use was brought to recover a portion of territory that has been ;n the possession of Rhode Island for more than a century, and which lias been confirmed to Rhode Island by the King in council. It ap pears by the telcgraghic report timt llic deei | dim is in favor of Rhode 1 slanti, although the despatch is not very intelligible. It is to be hoped that our bigger neighbor, vvliicL has been trying to get a portion of our territory | ever since she drove It, ger Williams out of hers, will now be quiet.— ProeideneJournal. A Milky Way at Ren. A indy; on her voyage to Calcutta, writes | the following, which we arc permitted to print: “M lieu in the Gulf of Eden. v\e saw a, very : remarkable sight. It was a rough and blowy | evening that vve were called on deck to see the “Milky Water,’’ which is only seen just in this region. It is still undecided whether the effect is produced by electricity, by atmospheric causes, or by auitnaoule. Instead of water, it seemed as if the vessel were plunging through great drifts of snow. The appearance extend ed even to the horizon, and if the air had been colder, and I could have caught the sound of sleigh-bells, ! should have lost all idea of the sea, and imagined myself enjoying a magnifi cent sleigh-ride. I t was a splendid sight: and it is very remarkable that no chemical analy st's can detect any peculiarity in the composi tion of the water: ami as soon as daylight comes, it vanishes. The milky water lasted for three nights, and then suddenly stopped ; and every evening afterward the water was Vis iisuak”—i-.V. L. Obrr.rerr. •4- Importance of a Witness. A Cincinnati paper tells a good story of a Frenchman find his jealous spouse at one of tiie hotels of that city. The lady indulged herself continually, as soon as closed with her mispronouncing husband, in hysterical up braidings for his imaginary delinqueuces in ogling the ladies at the table, and at last things grew so bad that the following denouement transpired. The lady led off, as usual, with much emphasis: Monsieur, however, had reached the culmin ating point of human endurance, and he re stored in a vehement roulade of broken Eng lish, interlarded with French expletives, until the fair one seized his case of razors in an ap parently desperate determination to commit suicide. Seizing her arm with one hand he pulled the bell-rope violently with the other, a summons which was speedly answered, for the waiters, whoso organs of inquisitiveness are usually well developed, and had been religiously listen ing outside of the door, to what was going on within. As soon, however, as one entered the chamber, our gallant Frenchman relinquished liis hold of the lady's arm. “All, ah ! Madame,” hissed he between liis teeth, “you shall cut your throat, eh ? Ires bieti, ver goot, no cut your troat so quick as you like. Main 1 lias one leetle witness as you cut him yourself. Ah, ah, met chere, seen, if you cut your troat, cut him light away.” . - Sk Woman From the lips of woman, every infant hears the first accents of affection and receives the first lesson of duty in tenderness and love. For the approbation of woman, the grown-up youth will undertake the boldest enterprises and brave death itself. To the happiness of woman the man of maturer years will devote the best energies of his mind and body, and from the soothing and affectionate regards of woman the man who is become venerable by years de rives his chief consolation in life’s decline.— IVho, then shall soy that the one-half of the human race, and they confessedly the most ami able, may not he entrusted with an intelligence and an influence equal to our own? To them when sorrow afflicts us we consign half our sufferings, aud they cheerfully relieve us by lightening them. When joy delights we give the half of our pleasures, and they as readily consent to share them. They lessen, by their sympathy, the pangs of all our privations aud they increase, by their participation, theeestu cy of all our delights. They deserve, there fore, the full enjoyment of every privilege flint it is in our power to confer on them. ♦ Anecdotes of a Negro. IV o are indebted to a friend, says the Patriot and Mountaineer, of Greenville, for the l'ol \ lowing original anecdotes of a slave, which we , think arc too good to be lost, lie had just bought himself anew hat. A shower ol’ rain i came up, and he pulled off his hat and put it under his mm, to protect it from the rain. A gentleman meeting him, enquired why lie did not wear his hat on liis head. His philosoph ical reply was: “Dc head belong to massa, but do hat belong to nigger ! “ On another occasion lie bargained with liis master for liis freedom, ami paid three hun- I drod dollars in cash towards the purchase. ; The next day, he aud a negro companion went ; out on a fishing excursou. The companion fell I over board and was drowned. Immediately the (reed man went to liis former owner and beg j ged to l'cciud the contract about the purchase iof liis freedom, liis master enquired why ho had chaugcd his mind so suddenly, lie replied that lie had come to tho conclusion, since tlio i fishing excursion, that “nigger property was ! too unsurtain” to make investments in it. If lie had been drowned instead of his compan ion, liis money would all have been lost. Tho Theory of tho Eyo. In the ucw number of the Quarterly Review is a curious paper on physiognomy. IVe give the writer’s interpretation of the color of the eyes: “Dark blue eyes are most common in persons of delicate, refined, or effeminate na ture ; light blue, and much more, grey oyes, in the hardy and active. Greenish eyes have generally tho same meaning as the grey. Ha zel eyes are the more usual indications of a mind masculine, vigorous ami profound.” As u commentary on the reviewer’s text, we mav arid that Shakspcure had hazel eyes, Swift blue yes, (azure as the lu ivcosl, Milton, Scott Byrougiry eyes. ♦ It : i singular laot, that ivhttu the Indian aweni• hn swears in Engli-h.

Some years ago there was an old gentleman liviug iu Kentucky by the name of Brown, familiarly known as **L’uele Billy.” Being particularly partial to “Did Bourbon,” he was usually found in tho immediate vicinity of where it was kept. One day someone told Uncle Billy the old story of the Kilkenny cats. It was the first time he had ever heard it ; and thinking it, “amazingly rich,’ lie posted off to a tavern to tell it laughing all the way as he went. Stepping in, lie announced to vari ous cronies there assembled that he had just heard t lie best story in the world. Clustering around, all hands pressed him to begin; but it was sonic time before Uncle Billy could re press liis risibles sufficiently to attempt the story. Filially, after exciting <heir curiosity to ibe utmost by liis provoking delay, he told il thus: “Once there was two cats got to lighting in Ireland, and they bit off each oth ers’ tails.” “Well,” said half a dozen in a breath, “is that all V” Uncle Billy having im bibed pretty freely, liis mind was slightly tangled. Hanging liis head a moment in drunken gravity, as if trying to catch the gist, of the thing, lie raised it. and said, “Well, boys, it does look kinder poor now, but it was mighty rich when 1 first lieered it.” Peter the Great ail Editor.
