A writer in the New York Ledger of a
series of articles on the “Colony of Ply
mouth,” says the term Yankee comes
from pan, which means eye, and ket,
which means tooth, in the Massachusetts
vernacular. The colonists drove sharp
bargains—had cut their eyeteeth—hence
the Indians called them Yankee.
A Bourbon monarchy is recommended
as a panacea for all Mexican ills by Mex*
icons in Koine, in a letter to Miratnon’s
confessor, published in a Vera Cruz pa
per. A strong church party and Mira
mon himself are alleged to bo concerned
iu the enterprise. lion Fernando, of
Spain, is the favorite ; utter him a Catho

Charles Dickens is at work writing a
book, not to be published, but to bo read
by the author. It is only recently that
two most popular authors have discovered
what a source o! large returns this read
ing business may be made. Mr. Dickens
realized more tliuu 416,000 last year from
this source alone; and Mr. Thackeray
must have put aside twice as niucli, at
least, from bis lectures since lie began to
read as well as write.
Mui from Uouton.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin of the
2Gtb, states that two applications for char*
ters are now before the Massachusetts
Legislature for lines of steamers between
Boston and Southern ports. One by E.
8. Torrcy and others as a Committee of
the Board of Trade, and another by Don
ald Mackay. The former contemplates a
line of four steamers to run between
Boston and Charleston, or Savannah, or
both, and the latter to New Orleans.

Iltiahiiiitl Poisoned by bis WIIY.
A letter to the Petersburg Express,
from Greensboro’, N. C., states that Mr,
Isaac Johnson, a farmer of that county,
recently died under such circumstances
as to create a suspicion that he had been
poisoned, and a post mortem examination
proved the suspicion well founded. Sus
picion fell on bis wife as the guilty party,
and on an investigation, sufficient evi
dence against her was elicited to warrant
her commitment for a further hearing
before the Superior Court.
A New Town,
The Savannah Republican of the Gist
ult, thus describes the location of a “new
town,” near that city, inteuded as a su
burbian retreat for the people of tho city
during tho summer mouths and sickly
seasons:
The site is high, dry and salubrious,
immediately ou the Central Rail Road,
ami ouly 2(> miles, or an hour’s ride,
from the city. The water is as good as
can bo fouud in the low country, and the
village, if settled up by our citizens iu
tho summer months, would bo made a
most delightful retreat. The name (Mar
low; is horribly unpoetic, and, with all
due deference for the taste of the proprio
tor, we must enter a plea for a change.

The Wheat Crop.
Reports of the wheat crop (says the
Cincinnati Gazette) continue favorable.
There are some exceptions, of course, hut
generally the prospects are quite encour
aging. The Illinois papers agree that
there is a probability of more than a
general average in tho State. In Michi
gan the prospects are equally favorable.
These remarks also apply to Ohio and
Western New York. From Texas the ac
counts are exceedingly tlatcring. Wheat
is in fine condition. Corn is also looking
well. It is five or six inches high, and
lias mostly received the first plowing.
The season in that State is three weeks
earlier than usual. The forests have as
sumed a green hue, and the fruit trees
are covered with young fruit. Iu Louisi
ana wheat is in good coudition and prom
ises well.
Fire In Aubtii-n.
Auihjhn, Ala., April 1, 185‘J.
Pear San : 1 drop you a line to say that
tho residence of Mr. Simeon Perry, iu
this place, was discovered to bo on fire
this morning about 9 o'clock, and in spite
of the efforts of tho citizens, the building
was entirely consumed. All the furni
ture, clothing, No., were saved. No out- j
buildings were burned. The house caught
tire accidentally, it is supposed, on top.
The loss amounts to about $2,600, and
falls ou a good man, but ouo able to hear
it. No insurance. Your friend,

Steamer Lancaster, March 25.
Eds. Cincinnati Com.: 1 was iu Cler
mont county four or five days, about two I
weeks ago. aud saw but one good field of i
wheat. The farmers were preparing to j
sow spring wheat, in case the winter
wheat should prove a failure. I have
heard since, however, that many fields,
which two weoks ago showed no indica
tions of wheat, uow look fine. In Ken
tucky, hack of Maysville, wheat has sel
dom, if ever, looked better. The peach
trees in that section are mostly in lull
bloom; of course it is quite*uuoertaiu as
yet w hether the fruit will live.

False Packed Cottom
If a planter should receive in pay foit
his cotton a lot of coin which had all the
external appearance of gold, but which,
ou examination, proved to be silver with
a gold outside, he would arrest tho payer
for swindling, and the law would punish
him for the offence ; but where the planter
sells a lot of cotton, with the outside of a
quality far superior to the inside, there
is no redress for the purchaser. Yet,
wherein do tho two cases differ ? Is not
one practico as reprehensible as tho other?
This evil has grown to an alarming extent,
and is increasing every year. The pres
ent season is without precedent in this
city. Two cases came under our obser
vation this week—one, a lot of three hun
[ dred bales, in which were thirty-five false
j packed bales, and the other a lot of fifty
bales, in which there were sixteen bales
1 false packed. Comment upon these facts
is unnecessary.— Savh. Rep.
We agree with tho Augusta Chronicle,
that “the remedy for this evil is with tho
dealers themselves. In tho absence of
any law to punish the villains who perpe
trate the frauds, or even with a law, the
dealers havo ooly to resolve to publish
tho names of every man who is detected
in these frauds, and tho evil will be cor
rected at once. Tho fraud is almost al
ways easily traced to tho guilty parties,
and if the buyers and sellers in every
market will ouly resolve to publish the
names of the scoundrels, there will be no
more frauds discovered in packing cotton,
or at least none after the first publication
is mado. Then let the dealers in every
market form a joint association, and ro
solve to publish the names of the perpe
trators of the frauds to tho world, and at
once correct a practice which reflects
more or less upon the character of the
whole of the cotton planters of the coun
try. That the honest portion of tho plan
ters will not only thank, but aid them in
making the expose, we havo no doubt. —
If the dealers fail to do this, they should
not complain, for no man should declaim
against the perpetration of a fraud, who
has not tho moral courage to prosecute
the guilty perpetrator.”
Southern Field and Fireside.
Wo have receive l from the publisher,
James Gardner, Esq., of Augusta, the
prospectus for a now paper bearing the
above title, to be published in that city ;
the first number of which will bo issued
about the 28th of May.
The Field and Fireside, as indicated in
the prospectus, is to bo devoted to Agri
culture, Literature and Art. It is to be
in quarto form, eight pages to each num
number, folio size. In general style and
size, it will bo somewhat similar to the
New York Ledger, and is to be printed on
fine book paper. Tho Agricultural de
partment is to be under the supervision
of Dr. Daniel Lee; and tho Literary de
partment, in charge of W. W. Mann.
Both gentlemen are well known to tho
reading public to possess the ability to
make tho paper a first class literary jour
nal. It is a hold undertaking; and did we
not know the publisher possessed ample
means to sustain it, wo should entertain
fears for its success. lie has, however,
aud we havo confidence that it will be so
meritorious in its character as to com
mand not only the liberal support of
Georginus, hut of the entire South, where
such a paper has long been necdod to
crowd out the constantly accumulating
northern trash. Tho publisher has our
good wishes for success, and shall have
our help in the columns of the Sun in
urging its merits to tho patronage of our
people.
We will give tho prospoctus a place in
our columns as soon as our space will
admit.
Letter from Ex-Preeident Pierce.
There was a rumor recently that Gen.
l’iorce was desirous of tho nomination
for l’rosident in 1800. The following
graceful letter, denying it. from General
Pierce to a friend in New Hampshire, will
be read with interest:
Hotel Villa Naudi, Sorrento, 1
February 11, 1860. J
My Pear Sir : Tho enclosed letter would
have been sent from Capri had not com
munication with the main land been in
terdicted by wind and waves. As soon as
the sea became quiet we embarked for
this sweet and picturesque place.
It was pleasant to find here letters and
papers from homo awaiting our arrival.
My satisfaction, however, iu reading the
papers was somewhat marred by certain
paragraphs, which impute sinister politi
cal motives to my frieuds aud myself, in
connection with my protracyU absence
from tho United States. The suggestion
that my voyage to Madeira, and subse
quent sojourn iu Europe, were prompted
by any object except the one known to tho
public, is, under the circumstances, pe
culiarly wanton.
It would be difficult, as I believe 1 have
said to you in the enclosed, to convoy to
you an ndequato idea of tlio extent to
which 1 have enjoyed tho repose which,
for the first time in twenty-five years, it
has been my privilege to oemmand. For
Mrs. Pierce, exemption from care, and
excitiug causes of solicitude, is indispen
sable.
1 cannot speak with any certainty as to
the period of our return, hut, wliejhor it
he earlier or later, you may be quite sure
that 1 shall, under no possible circumstances,
consent to the use of my name in a man
ner calculated to disturb the tranquil pur
suits which alone pertain to tho life of a
private citizen.
Your frieud, Franklin Pierce.
Tle Fifty Thousand Subscribed.
On last Saturday, at a public meeting
of our citizens held in this place, the eu
tire fifty thousand dollars of additional
subscription, promised by this county to
the stock ot the Main Trunk, was sub
scribed, making the whole nmount of the
Decatur subscription about $150,000.
This additional subscription will compel
the Main Trunk Company, in compliance
with a pledge made to the stockholders
of this county, to place thirty miles of
their road, Eastward from this place,
immediately under contract —or, ns many
miles as our subscription, with its pro
portionate share of the State's appropria
tion, will build. Well done, Decatur 1—

Editors and printers.
Gov. Packer, of Pennsylvania, was re
cently invited to take a seat in an editori
al convention at Harrisburg, when he
made the following speech :
Mr. President and Brother Editors: —
Your worthy President has done me too
much honor, certainly. When I was in
vited to take a seat among my brother
editors—for lam proud to call myself still
an editor, although it is a long time, some
fifteen years, since I have had anything
to do with the publication of a newspaper
—I did not expect to bo thus specially
honored. Nearly forty years ago, I en
tered a printing office, when I was a small
boy. 1 went through all the grades, from
the lowest printer’s apprentice, to that of
tho conductor of a public journal, and I
published a paper for some fifteen or
twenty years. I certainly did not dis
tinguish myself as an editor, as my friend
on my left has done, although I believe
he never was a practical printer.
The President. —l never had that honor,
and I atn sorry that I had not.
Gov. Packer. — Brother Editors: —lt is
the highest honor that has ever been con
ferred upon me, and Hook back to it with
pleasure. 1 passed through tho poor boy’s
college, in making my way through life.
My first place was that iu which many of
the editors here present have made their
first appearance. Pointers and editors
have a right to be proud of their art. I
need not say to you, my fellow citizens,
that 1 did not come here to make a speech,
because you will learn that before I am
through. Printers, I say, have a right to
be proud of their art. Cast your eyes
hack for a few centuries, when there were
no printers, and you will find that the
whole world was enveloped iu darkness,
and that to b s a poor man was to be a
serf and a slave. Now, civilization, and
the arts and sciences, march behind the
printing press. Wherever you send your
army, the most potent machine that goes
with that army, more formidable than the
cannon, more terrible than the sword, is
the printing press that is carried with it;
every platoon contains n printer, and in
every battle that has been fought on this
continent, the printers have not only done
their part with the sword, but with the
printing press ; aud to-day, tho printing
press is most feared by the tyrants of this
world —for it is the tyrant’s foe and the
people’s friend.
The printing press is more feared this
day, among the old rotten aristocracy of
Europe, than all the armies of the world.
What is it that Louis Napoleon most fears?
If two hundred thousand resolute soldiers
were to appear at Paris to-morrow, they
would not alarm him half so much as the
news that two hundred thousand news
papers, containing the true record of his
government, had been circulated within
the city of Paris. Only four hundred
years ago there were no printing presses.
Contrast that period with the present,
and see the advancement that has beon
made in all the elements of greatness.
How do you account for it ? Do you
think at this clay there is more patriotism,
that the country is more enlightened
sinco the invention of tho printing press?
Certainly not; it is that the sheets that
como from off the toiling printing presses
enlighten tho world ; aud in enlightening
the millions, you promote their welfare
and comfort:
Mr. President :—l do not come, as I said
before, to make a speech. I thank my
brother editors for doing me the honor of
inviting me here—l thank you from the
bottom of my heart. Whatever affects
the printer affects me, for I feel myself a
printer. Whatever affects an editor af
fects me, for I have boen myself an editor.
I again thank you, gentlemen, for the
honor you have conferred on me.
News from Vera Cruz.
Mobile, March 81.— The United State*
sloop-of-war Saratoga, from Vera Cruz,
arrived at Pensacola on tho 25th inst.—
She left at Vera Cruz the United States
sloop-of-war Savannah, two Spanish, four
French and four English men-of-war.
The rumors in relation to the internal
war prevailing in Mexico are so conflict
ing, that it seems impossible to place any
reliance in any of them. It is generally
conceded that Gen. Miraraon has met
with several defeats, and that his forces
are not within striking distance of Vera
Cruz. He is reported to be collecting his
forces at Orizaba.
The people of Vera Cruz appear confi
dent of victory in any contest with Mira
mon.
The Saratoga takes in stores at Pensa
cola, and returns without delay to Vera
Cruz, to relievo the Savannah.

This method of gaining Centers and drawing
such figures as Scrolls, Ovals, Ellipses, Circles and
Ogee figures, is acknowledged by all Artists,

| thorough investigation, to be the most accurate,
useful and simplified method of drawing irregular

learning this method of gaining Centers and pray*
ing, but they save a great deal of time, labor ami

than hall the time that it can be drawn by any
other method as yet known to man.
I will guarantee to make every man that takes
instructions ot mo, whether he has any knowledge
