ClOtn in Middle Georgia.—The
Central Georgian says: We hear a great
deal of complaint among farmers in this
section on account of the gloomy pros
pect of the cotton crop. The recent
drought and cotton worm, together
with the rust, has and will materially
injure cotton, to say nothing of its back
wardness in the spring. The pea crop
will also be short in some'paris of the
country. There will be jieiliaps,
average yield of the corn crop.
At onr present writing, says the Al

in this county 82 years of age, who 1ms
had 21 children.. Two of her daughters
also reside in this county: one of them
the wife of Mr. Wm. Faircloth, has had
16 children, 14 of whom are now living.
The other, the wife of Mr. Mathew Fair-

The United States Patent Office re

our country is that of Col. Meacham,
of Pulaski, New York. His farm con
sists of one thousand acres, three hun
dred of which are devoted to grass;
and he keeps one hundred head of cat
tle and ninety-seven cows. In one year
he made thirty thousand pounds of
cheese, twenty thousand of which lie
sold at one time, from six and a half to
seven cents per pound. He feeds his
cows mostly on hay and carrots, and
oftbe latter he raises two thousand bush
els, and gives each cow a half bushel
per day. And besides the benefit de
rived from the grass for his stock he
gathers not less than three hundred
bushels of grass seed.

It will seem curious to those who
arc not aware of the fact, that the first
towns built by Europeans upon the
American continent were St. Augustine,
ill East Florida, and Santa Fe, the cap

was explored before the Mississippi was
known, and gold was sought in Cali

THE ARDUCTION CASE.
The National Intelligencer, i
article on the Rey case, says :
••The President on the 28th of July
last, directed the Secretary of Slate to
instruct Gen. Campbell, (consul of the
United States at Havana) in the event
of the arrival of Garcia at Havana, after
-being abducted from New-Orleans,
make an immediate demand for the re

Penitentiary has made under the present,
administration ? To this the Principal;
Keeper says: ’
“It would be no'difficult matter to'
give a satisfactory answer lo the ques

‘ how much money Gov. Towns, the

Without any desire of boasting, I will
simply state, that the financial concerns
of the Penitentiary, resulting from con
vict labor, are not less prosperous now,
than they have been in several years
past; andu lthough 1 will not affirm that
we shall exhibit $5000 a year clear of
expenses, yet with our operatives di
minished to less than ninety, our week

former years, when the Penitentiary
enclosed an average of one hundred
and twenty-five laborers. On this sub

worldly regrets which arose in her heart.
She became the example of the convent
and the sanctity of Friar Robert was
spread abroad in all France. The most
holy offices were confided principally
to her; it was she who was sent to pray
by the bedside of the dying, and to con
sole the afflicted. But she did an im
mense deal of good among the young
girls of Paris, whom the world and its
; pleasures had drawn from the path of
! duty. To these she never wearied of

At last, liowevcr, slander attacked
the fair fame of Friar Robert, and he
was accused of being too fond of visit

monastery imposed upon the pretended
brother, as penitence, to serve the whole
community, and to do the most repugn

Tbe Women of Bancor?.
The Countecs Csalcy.—Patriotism and
true love of country, are the great
characteristics of the noble matrons of
Hungary. Ladies of ihe highest rank,
w _ as well as those of the humblest origin,
braced in the report for the politi-j nil mingled together in a maternal bond
l:~l ...:n 1 « : of alliance, stand forth as the encourag*
ers of the martyrs of the Republic. The
ycung Countess Csaky has been fore
most in the bloody straggle; she raised
a regiment of volunterra *L her own ex.
pensc aad is actually in command of it.
The adjutant is also a ladj* of rank,
and is her sister. They dress in the
uniform of officers—Hungarian jacket,
blue pantaloons, and a large sword at
their side. Watchfulness surrounds
their tents, and sentinels keep guard
throughout the night. Before the Coun
tess retires to rest, she writes despatch-
lo all her officers, giving them orders,
and if any spy brings a report of an ad
vance of the enemy, she is at once at
the head of her division. Wilh the
most wonderlul talent she lays the plans
for the surprise of her enemy. To the
discomfiture of the foe, her commands
are carried out confidently and strictly.
The animated patriotism of this noble
woman inspires such enthusiasm among
the soldiers, that each one becomes a
hero in his courageous desire to out-do
in deeds of daring, his compatriots.—
The skill in manoeuvring displayed by
these admirable women i* wonderful,
and in many instances tbe enemy have
surrendered to them without a blow.
Not the less efficient are- many other
ladies who are not quite so famous in
arms; every where the angelic presence
of the women is visible saving the sol
diers from the jaws of death.—Euro

In the address to tho People of Penn-
ylvania adopted by the Hungarian
meeting lately held in Philadelphia, we
find the following passage: “ Such is
the position of the cause in behalf of
which we invoke the aid of the people
of Pennsylvania, one of the old Thir
teen Colonies. There is a peculiar
propriety in such a demonstration, be
cause, there is a peculiar similarity be
tween the Magyar Revolution and that
ofourown. The same patience in suffer
ing, the same forbearance under outrage,
and the same confidence in a treacherous
king, have been manifested on the part
of independent Hungary, that preceded
our own struggle against England.~
The House of Hapsburg has imitated
and improved the British example on

§1 range Story.
A Paris correspndent of the St. Louis
Republican relates the following strange
but interesting story:
Several years ago, a rich miller, liv-
of the provinces, became
lonies, has fought the battles of the
monarch that oppressed her. On more
than one memorable occasion, Magyar
valor saved the crown from passing into
other hands. But, like Great Britain,
she has responded to the fealty of a
patient uncomplaining people by re
pealed injuries and new insults ^seek
ing to obliterate all traces of their na
tional independence, by taxing then!
enormously and then denying to them
the right of representation, secured
through ages by a written constitution;
and finally, to complete the striking
parallel, has excited among the rude
population of Scrvia and Croatia a rei
hellion that foi a time led to the most
frightful and bloody results—only par
alleled by the insurrection instigated by
Great Britain among the fierce savages
ot our own wilderness before and mir
ing our seven years’ war against that
haughty power. Bul if we trace this sin
gular resemblance between the Magyar
revolution and that of our own, now
much like the leaders and heroes of ’70
are the champions of Hungarian Inde
pendence ! If there is no Washington
to cheer and inspire the struggling
masses, there is a Kossuth, whose fame
is already as extensive as the world ;
whose oratory has all the fervor of Hen
ry, the boldness of Pinckney, and the
originality of Fisher Aincs—aud whose
powers of endurance remind us
