VAEEDICTOKY. BY JAMES m’aKTHUR. Farewell to tiie Jewaharp that long I have tinkled In tones sad or merry as suited my heart I Farewell while yet hopeful, with care all nnwrinkled My brow beams with youth—we are fated to part No more shall the numbers of glee, or ofsaduess Vibrate on the air from thy swift-stricken tongue— I lay thee aside, deep in gloom,not in gladness— If I utter more numbers O, may I be hung I In the days of the past I did chant the full praise Of Lindrnm, of Garrett, of Quitm and all sich, But experience teaches that harping scarce pays, And poets in Milledgeville never grow rich, And the finest ot strains tiiat my jewaharp poured out Never brought a potato vile hunger to stay ; •So my Jewaharp! go hence I l'jl not travel your route, But I’ll grabble for goobers in a more cracker way. O harp of my heart I When on Governor Smith Thou didst lavish thy music, fat office methouglit By thy full (lowing numbers, and wittiest pith, For tliy master, most surely an office tliou’dst bought I But thy strains all unheeded, the finger tiiat smote thee All feeble from hunger, fed not even with praise, To silence forever I now do devote thee, Farewell—oil, forever farewell to thy lays! Western View of Inter state Transportation. The above is tbe title of an extremely interes ting article in tbe September number of that ablest of American monthlies, the “Atlantic Monthly.” Tbe whole contents of this, and other numbers of “Tbe Atlantic Monthly” are possessed of the highest interest and literary merit. The number before us is replete with other interesting articles: but the leading article to Georgians, in value, is the one mentioned above. In it, the argument is presented, irresistibly, in favor of Water transpor tation of the heavy agricultural products of the GreatWesttothedor.se populations of the East' eru or Atlantic States. It is from the able pen of Charles Seymour of Wisconsin. By Canal trans portation, the heavy agricultural products of the West can reach the Atlantic at one sixth of the expense of transportation by rail Great Canals are, therefore, advocated at the National cost.— No better or wiser investment of a.few millions of dollars could be made. The great canal through the interior of Georgia, advocated by Col. Frobel, and the great seaboard Canal championed by Col. Raiford of St. Marys. are parts of this grand and beneficent scheme. We hope to see these great projects pressed ou the attention of Congress, and crowned with success. With a grand Seaboard Water-Route, crossing the Peninsula of FloriJa, through Okefenoke S'vamp, and bringing millions of tons of Western produce aiong the South-Eas tern border of Georgia : Htid with the great Ten nessee River Canal through the interior of Geor gia from the Northwestern to the Southeastern border of the State ; the day of our rapid prosperi ty will dawn. And dawn it will. The Atlantic Monthly is published by Osgood A: Co., 124 Tremont St. Boston, at per $>4 annum. The Romance of Arithmetic, The singularity of the title copied above led ns to read it atonce on receiving the September number of thatbestof Monthly periodicals, “The Eclectic Maga zinc." The article referred to is mainly devoted to the very singular properties of the figure 9. Well may tiie article in question term it “the most romantic of all the numbers.” Tiie first of these properties is, that all through the multiplication table, the restiltnnt figures where the figure 9 is one figure, if added together, make tiie sum of nine. Thus, 9 + 2-18; and I ♦ 8-9, 9 * 3 27; and 9 + 79. And so, except inthe case of 9x11, the product of which is simply the figure nine repeated. This property w as first remarked by Mr. W. Green who died in 1794. M. deMaivan discovered that if yon tako aoy row of figures, andireversing their order, make a substme- tiou sum of it, the total is sure to bo 9; or a multiple of 9.

The other articles in this number ol The Electic are overflowing with in terest. Among them we may mention *•The receni fossil man." “From Cairo to Athens;” “Clever F .sues; .•The Middle Ages;” the fine serial story, ' Adventures of a Phaeton.” Others there are, peihaps as interest ing- but we have not had time to read them.

It seems that a Portugese had been making love to a half white daughter of a man named Watson. The papa did not approvo of the intimacy, haring more ambitious views for the young lady. However, the syrup colored pair concluded to recede from the neighborhood, and about midnight started for town with the intention of patronizing a priest. While as eroding the Ball they were disagreeably surprised b\ meeting the angry parent and a tierce brother. A col lesion was the consequence, and the result was that the brave knight received several charges of buckshot. '1 In- maiden started for tbe town during the melee, and informed the police of the interesting state of affairs. Arrests have been made on both sides—one for abduc tion, ami the other for attempt to murder. A hearing was had before the Police Magistrate yesterday, but as the wounded man was unable to appear, owing to the severity of his injuries, the case was postponed, and the father and son released on bail to the amount of one thousand dollars each. Iu a Bad Fix. The department of onr city morals, which is presided over by the Police Magistrate, has been somewhat neglected of late,owmg to the fact that the commission of that official Imd run out, without any new appoint ment being made for nearly a week. It was expected, owing to,the many changes that were going on, that the aforesaid official would have to walk, as he is not as popmar either with the authorities or the public as he might be. In consideration of his grey hairs, and his unfitness for any other position, he has received the necessary documents again to enable him to dis pense justice to the uulortunate wretches that usually attend his morning receptions. Miscellaneous. The small pox has entirely died oat, and the pest- house is without an occupant. All efforts to prove that the steamship Nebraska introduced the disease here has failed, as it did inthe Colonies. Among the usual amount of gossip which assists to keep us alive, the most talked of is the marriage of S. G. Damon (connected with the banking house of Bishop & Co.) to Miss Hattie Baldwin (a daughter of one of the pioneer missionaries, and a very distaat rel ative ol your corrospoudent,) which takes place this evening at Fort-street Church. Everything is to be haul Inn, with five bridesmaids and the corresponding number of groomsmen, and an unlimited number of invitations issued to witness the ceremony.

I had a good deal ofconver- satioc with Mr. Sumner during his visit, and thinking, from his peculiar position iu regard to the Presidential contest, that his view* might bo of interest to your readers, 1 send, with his con ent, some statements which he made, though they were not uttered with the expectation of theii being printed. Mr Sumner had not seen the com meets which certain journals had made upon his sudden departure for Europe, and was indignant that any one should suppose that it was from in clination tiiat he is not now heartily engaged in urging the election of Horace Greeley upon the American people. He declared that he consented to go abroad only after bis old friends, Dr. Dow ditch and Dr. Howe, declared that it was impossi ble for him to make a single speech without in curring serious danger. Mr. Sumner said ho regarded the Liberal nomi nation as an eminently good one It has placed in opposition to one of the most ignorant men that ever held office in the Unitod States a man of es tablished literary reputation ; a man whose whole influential career has been achieved by the unaid ed power of his intellect and tbe honesty of his character. Tbe nomination has placed in opposi tion to a merely selfish, commonplace person, s man whose history is a salient feature of the time and is characteristic of the country. Some of the attacks upon Mr. Greeley, by men who ought to honor him, are such as he, Mr Sumner, believed would be bitterly repented by those who have nade them. PLEA FOE 1’HEEBFaJI.NEM. PBTROLEUfl. The literary and scientific worid has, for a long time, leD the masses of mankind in complete darkness on a subject intimately connected with lighL We mean the subject of Coal Gil or Pelt oleum. Tiiat admirable monthly, Van Nostrand s Eclectic Engineering Magazine, commences, in the Septem ber number before us. a series of original articles from tiie able pen of Mr. Henry E. Wrigley, C. fc which will afford full and comp ete information to the public. The article before us is accompanied by excel lent mapsillustrative of the subject. Xu addition to the foregoing nod to many other val uable articles, the Magazine before us contains the most thorough and exhaustive article we have yet seen ou the Narrow Gauge Railway Its advantages are clearlv set forth, with an ample array of facts and figures VVe can no longer doubt the advantage of the Non ore Gangs railway over the present gauge. The Manufacture and u-ear of Rails, is another able article especially useful to railway roeu in these days of high priced iron, and prices still ranging upward. To the Civil Engineer, and to railway men generally, the Magazine is a necessity. Published at five dollars per annum by D. Van Nostrand, 23 Murray Street, N. Y Its contents are of the highest interest to all inte ligent men. The newspapers of Sweden are discussing tbe alarming decrease of population in that country, which they attribute, directly to emigration, es pecially emigration to this country.. In 1868, the number of emigrants had reached to 30,000, more than half of whom were able-bodied workmen and mechanics. In 1809, the exodus was still greater, 38,500 having ha\ing left the country. At the date of August 20th, there had left tbe town of Goethebog r aione 20,463 people for America, and they left regularly after, i.t the rate of 100 and 200 per week. This drain haa been since perpet ually continued- Lancaster, Pa., October 14.—Complaint was made to-day before Alderman Arnewey, by Reins hardt, Election Judge of the Eighth ward of Lan caster, against H.E. Mucklenburg, United States Collector of Revenues, and brother-in-law of Si mon Cameron, for otfi-ring said Election Judge 200 if he would stuff the ballot-box to reduce Buckalew’s majority to one hundred in said ward. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Mucklen- burg. The farms of the United States have considera bly increased in number, but diminished in size from 196 to 153 acres, being on an average 50 acres each less than in 1850. This decrease ex tends to every 'jtate in the Union save four — Arkansas, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New Mexico. Of the present number of farms (2.659.485) 6,875 are under three acres.— Those with, more than ten acres and less than 500, have increased, those with less than tec acres decreased in number, one-sixth of the whole are over 100 acres and under 500, but the largest umber (847,014) contain between 20 and 50 acres. The Pennsylvania Election.—Al exander McClure’s statement as to the result of the Pennsylvania election is that, while 20,000 Democrats refused to vote in the State, 50,000 illegal votes were cast for Hartranft in Phila delphia. The first ward, he says, gave Hartranft 23.600 majority. Two hours later, alarmed at their own work, they reduced the majorities below IS,000, and sent them on as revised returns. In no ward in Philadelphia did Hart ranft honestly run ahead of his ticket. I had hourly returns from many parts of the city, and he was almost uniform ly behind—never ahead. Mr. Eng lish, a Federal office-holder, and the most expert election arithmetician in the city, was President of the Election Board, with Lane as Secretary. The returns were read off and papers sign ed before the figures were footed up. The Cincinnati Enquirer has this consoling paragraph : “The temporary back-set received in the late election may be calculated to shake faith ,in the honesty and good sense of the American people, but the Liberal par ty is stronger to-day than it ever was. is put together upon the peculiar principle winch characterized the con struction of the Milesian gentleman’s fence. He built it four feet high and six feet wide, so that when it fell down it would be higher than it was before. That’s the style of the political organ ization which has a mission to defeat thieves and corruption.” Tragedy in Savannah.—On the 1th inst., a terrible tragedy occurred Savannah. Alexander Dillon, son of Mr. David R. Dillon, Banker, en tered his father’s office pale and evi dently laboring under some mental ex- tement. He entered the backroom of the office where his father transacts his private business. On seeing him his father began to reprimand him severely. The young man swore he would not put up with such language, and in the excitement of the moment drew his pistol and fired at his father three times, one balling taking effect in the right arm, one in the head and another in the thigh. After commit ting this act he shot himself in the breast aud expired in about twenty minutes. Mr. Dillon’s wounds were dressed in his office. The Mother, on hearing of the fatal tragedy, rushed out of her house and ran down the street to the office, screaming, and lamenting, abusing and threatening the father for what she supposed to be his own act. On reaching the office, she endeavored to get in the room where Mr. Dillon was, but was refused. She then entered the room where the dead body of her son lay. All the agonized feelings of a bereaved mother were given free vent to. She wailed over the lifeless body of her son. and with tearful eyes and heavy groans kissed his cold lips. Do, Christians be cheerful! You say you have too many cares. Then you have no business to have so many. You were not sent into the world to worry and fret. You are carrying im aginary burdens. Take a pencil and write down some of those coming evils that are just ready to darken your life, and which you are so exercised about, as to how shall you meet them—aud by and by look up the list, and see how many of your fears were grondless, and and how many others were in no way modified by your brooding over them before hand. Wouldn’t your affairs get along just as well—if, doing the best you could, cheerfully left all to a wise ordering Providence? We could plead espe cially for a cheerful ministry. Noth ing helps a minister so much as a great fund of humor and good nature. It will prove a social magnet attract ing to him a multitude who could nev er be reached by habitual solemn dig nity. There are a few exceedingly proper people, who tire much concern ed about ministerial proprieties Their ideal of a minister is that of one who is ever abstractly and profoundly solemn; as if such themes as death judgment and eternity were never for a moment out of his mind. He fears to smile, lest he should lose an oppor tunity of saving his soul. What some one, deeply concerned for his salvation,* convicted of sin and only needing counsel to lead him to the Sa vior, slhoud in such a state see the minister enjoying a laugh or carrying a countenance wreathed in smiles! Dear Mrs. Propriety, if your obser vation had been extensive you would have discovered that sinners are more easily approached, influenced and led to Christ by one whose faith takes on forms of radiant joy, rather than of severe and perpetual solemnity. We plead for a cheerful ministry not only because of its better and broader influence but in behalf of the preacher himself. He is called to deal with tough problems. Hard stu dy tends to draw fixed unyielding lines in his countenance. He is called to frequent contact with sickness, trouble and death. Funerals make large drafts upon his sympathies and feelings More than almost any one else, he is called to walk where the shadows fall, md pain and sadness darken the way. These things may tend to a habit of gloom and depression almost uncon- ciously. He should learn the art of quick re lief from the influence of these things. He should learn to take all cares, his own and those of others, to Him who says.- “Come, and I will give you rest.”—The Pacific. Farming lauds in England sell for $240 an acre. Character.—An established busi ness house, whether the enterprise of one person, or under the control of an association of several, appropriates to to itself a certain individuality—a character depending, like that of an in dividual, very much upon the motives and principles governing the actions. The desirable possessions of individu als come under the head of two princi ple classes—the one material, and pur chased with money; the other intangi ble, and only attainable by a strict ad- herance to the path of duty and up rightness. Both are of uncertain ten- re, and have to be watched and guar ded, each according to its nature, by the possessor, if he will retaiu them ; both are needful to the enjoyment of life. In the same way a business firm needs, besides the necessary capital for pursuing the business, a reputation— something to inspire a certain amount of confidence; in one word, a charac ter. And as an individual’s character is not so much dependent upon the prominent actions of life, but is made and built up from his everyday trans actions, from the apparantly little- noticed small events of everyday life, so the character of a house will be established, not from the rules and regulations held out and pro claimed to the community, but from the common business traq^ptions of each succeeding day. As the man who fails to establish a first-class charac ter had generally pure enough hopes and aspirations in the start, and only lacked the requisite steadfastness to withstand the pressure of temptations and bad examples, so almost all busi ness enterprises are undertaken with fair intentions regarding the manner of their dealings. It is the waut of sufficient integrity and unyielding op position to all overreaching, which draws many into practicing what some call customs of trade, but what should be classed with, and shunned like dis honesty. Hence comes the great dif ferences in the way that our feelings and sensibilities are effected in dealing with different houses; for character will proclaim itself and cannpt be dis guised. In some houses we could mention, whatever assertion is made, for instance regarding the quality of goods, or the lowest possible price, we invariably look for further varify- ing evidence, and even if convinced that what is said is true, we feel reluc tant to admit it; while in other firms, do such misgivings assail us, our confi dence needs no refreshing stimulus; an assertion is felt to be the truth, and our sensations, in all our intercourse with such houses, is altogether pleas ant. In no small degree are employ ees instrumental in forming the appa rent character of a house. A looseness or levity in conducting their business transactions, or the slightest deviation from the truth, will often bring a good house into disrepute, though the firm may be innocent and utterly ignorant of any attempt to deceive or impose on their customers.— The Carpet Trade.

Farrow and Conley Call for United States Soldiers.—The At lanta Herald says: 1 The guilty fleeth when no man pursueth,” is a truism which a sane man cannot doubt who has observed the conduct of some of the Radicals of late in this State. The climax was reached yesterday by Conley and Far row, when they had put their little brains together to devise some manner by which their nefarious game of ar raying the white and colored people against each other, culminated by them in ostensibly taking counsel of theii fears; that calling upon the commandant of the military to furnish them protection while they discharg ed the duties devolving upon them in the further investigation of the char ges against some of our citizens for the illegel offense of having violated the Enforcement Laws. A squad of twelve soldiers were marched from the barracks to Commis sioner Conley’s Court Room, under command of Capt. Wra. Mills, Second Regiment United States Army, where they were held for the protection of the Court. Maj. Smythe, the United States Marshal, made the requisition for the soldiers only upon the order of Conley, at the suggestion of Farrow, who pro fessed to be greatly alarmed. The counsel for the prisoners, des pairing of accemplishing anything’ for the relief of their clients before a Court determined to bind them over, and in view of the presence of the soldiers in the Court room in a period of profound peace, waived further examination, and elected to give bond for their appear ance at the next term of the United States Circuit Court. The Commis sioner fixed the bond at $3,000 in the case of each of the following prisoners : P. Wells, S. E. Morris, J. G. Braz- elton, J. D. Wootten, Thos. Jones, W. . Lights, C. W Hunt, Geo. W. Simp son and James Rr. Ballanger. The warrants against W. L. Morris, . H. Clarke, Jr., Barney Lee, and Sid Holland, were dismissed by Farrowj This unrivalled Mediciue is warranted not to con tain a sinfclt* particle of Mercury, or any injurious mineral sub-tnnce, but is PURELY VEGETABLE.
