Interesting to Lawyer*.
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.”

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

♦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

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"// •

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

of the United .States. The'.use was brought

Rhode Island by the King in council. It ap

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

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.

Uncle Bill.’ and the Kilkenny Cat*.
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.
I An exchange paper says the first Russian
newspaper was published in and Peter
the Great was its senior editor. The Imperial
Autocrat not only took part personally in its
editorial composition, but in correcting proofs,
as appears from sheets still in existence, on
which arc marks and alterations in liis own
hand.

A darkey sot to work to cut down a very
tough tree, but liis axe flew back for sonic time
with but little effect. A storm occurred in
the meantime, and a crashing shaft of light
ning shattered a large oak to splinters near
him. “Bress de Lord ! ” exclaimed Sambo,
“dat well done. Pose you try dis one nex—
