It is very doubtful whether cither of

exists in the Democratic party, on the

break up any Convention of that party,
which may be assembled, or what will
be fatal toils nominations, will deprive
it of a national character. So with a
Whig National Convention. No one

Mr. Hodgson laid upon- tlie table a
letter of Mr. George Sumner, a corres
ponding member, vindicating the gov
ernment and people of the United States
from the charge of ingratitude and bad
faith, made by Monsieur De la Murtiuc
in bis recent history ofthe Girondists.
This historian asscrt(jd4liat the Apostle
of America, Tlios. Paine, had requited
the generous aid of Louis XVI, afforded
to us in the Revolution, by demanding
as a Deputy in Convention, the trial
and death of the King. Mr. Sumner
indignantly repels the idea of this man’s
being an Apostle of America, whilst in
reality he was a refugee from punish
ment. M. Gouvcrncur Morris, Minis
ter of the United States iu Paris, ex
pressed the sympathy of our people, by
offering his house as an asyluih to the
King, and prepared the means for his
escape to America. After the decapita
tion of the King, he rendered an ac
count to the Royal Family of the sums
of money which bad been placed in his
bauds by Louis himself.
The Society was informed that Dr.
tevens’ History of Georgia is now out
of press, and that copies for subscribers
may be daily expected. The typo
graphic execution of tho work is in eve
ry respect equal to that of Prescott’s
Conquest of Mexico and Peru.
The President alluded to the collec
tion of books recently sent by Mr Vatte-
niarc to tlie State of Georgia, on his
system of international exchange. IJc
had elsewhere witnessed the valuable
results of this system, which might with
ignal advantage be adopted by this
State.
A Committee was raised, with the
Hon. James M. Wayne as Chairman, to
address the Legislature of the State on
the subject of the remains and memory
ofthe gallant Mclnlosli and Twiggs, who
having yielded their lives to their coun
try and its honor, now lie in the land of
the enemy. As citizens and historic
names of Georgia, their remains should
redly deposited under the care of
their families and of the Slate which
they have honored and illustrated.
The Society then adjourned.—Sav

Singing Mouse.
The last number of the Journal of tho
Franklin Institute, describes in the fol
lowing manner, a natural curiosity,
which had been exhibited at the Septem
ber meeting of the Institute.
“A natural curiosity was next exhibit
ed, which excited considerable interest.
This was a Singing Mouse, which, tho*
declining on this occasion to perform in
its best style, yet gave sufficient proof
that its musical powers are wonderful,
for an animal of its kind. It is a com
mon domestic mouse, (Mus Muscutus)
and in appearance differs, in no remark
able particular, from other individuals
of its species.
It was the musical talent of this littlo
creature which led to its capture. A
lady, who kept some canary birds in
her room through the day, but who-was
in the habit of having the cages remov
ed to another apartment for the night,
happened to hear, niter retiring, atnusi-
cal chirping in the room, apparently-
proceeding from beneath a bureau.—
Supposing that one of her bird#find es
caped from its cage and remained in
the room, she attempted to dislodge i ( t
from its supposed concealment. No
bird, however, made its appearance ;
but a mouse was started fron beneath
the bureau, and ran to another part
ofthe room, where it recommenced its
song. It was caught and confined in a
cage, which it has now inhabited about
six weeks ; having become quite tame,
and evidently recognising individuals,
by showing more familiar regard to its
keeper than to strangers.
It is seldom entirely silent, except
when sleeping; almost constantly emit
ting a low chirping scries of notes, re
sembling, somewhat, the twittering pro
duced by a nest of young birds. As
the evening advances, its musical dispo
sition is more fully developed, until,
usually, towards midnight, its notes in
crease in power,compass, and variety;
it then frequently pours forth a gush of
melody, resembling the song of a cana
ry bird ; but softer and less shrill than
the notes of the feathered songster.”
