Plank Road*.
The House has passed Bills incorporating the
Columbus and Greenville, and Columbus and
Lumpkin, Plank Roads. The first would be
forty, and the latter, thirty-six miles long. The
road from this place to Greenville would prob
ably cost 82.330 per mile, while that to Lump
kin could be built probably, at a cost of $'2,000,
making the aggregate cost of the two, about
8164,000. Each of these roads, we think it
demonstrable, would prove greatly beneficial to
our city, and highly profitable to its owners. As
to the fir3t proposition, it needs no argument, for
it is at once apparent, that whatever makes our
market more accessible to the products of the
country, improves it. I hat Columbus is a bet
ter cotton market than Atlanta, or Griffin, can
be very easily demonstrated to the satisfaction
of any body who will take the trouble to exam
ine their respective reports. That it is a better
grocery market, than either Atlanta, or Griffin, or
Macon, we think can be established. H hut then
is to hinder this from being the market of all that
country equi-distant from the several places ? It
‘will bo, if the obstacles in the way of impassa
ble roads are reinovod. Our market is really,
almost cut off from all that country lying north
*>f the mountains in Harris and Talbot counties,
and if the difficulty is removed so effectually, as
it would be by a plunk road, the products ol that
country would as naturally seek this market, as
water runs down hill.
As to the profitableness of these enter
prises to those who may embark in them, so far
as we have been enabled to determine, from our
observation of the result of similar investments
elsewhere, there can be no reasonable doubt.
The most extravagant dividends which we have
noticed frotn any source, have been from Plank
Roads. True, these dividends have generally
been declared at the North, where it is estimated
*uch investments would pay better, but even af
ter making all proper allowances to this consid
eration, the result would be very profitable hefle.
We are disposed to question even whether there
is much importance to be attached to this esti.
mated difference. There may be more carria
ges passing over the Northern Iloads, but there
is probably a larger amount of transportation
over ours. One of the most conclusive proofs
of the value of these roads is, that Col. John G.
Winter of this city, who has made it his busi
ness to enquire into this subject, has been so
Well satisfied of their profitableness, that he is
willing to invest largely in their construction.

Love and Wheat.
Under this singular head, the Savannah Re
publican hos presented its readers with the fob
lowing array ot remarkable Statistics, from which
is intended to be deduced, the conclusion that the
number of marriages in any given year depends
upon the. price of wheat in that year ! We have
republished them for the gratification of our
readers, but principally to exhibit the pliancy of
statistical tables. We have no doubt that
the Republican is as well fortified with the fig.
tires , to prove that “ high (hides make hue prices .”
We respectfully ask the attention of all old bach
elors and young stags, to these tables. They
/nay at least, induce the abstraction of a ‘-onsid
<rrable amount of capital lrom the production of
cotton, to the culture of this new promoter of
axtarrriages :

Gen. Taylor and the Slavery Question.
— Pro and Con. —Governor Poindexter address
ed a public meeting recently in Jackson, Mis
sissippi- In his speech, he asserted that Presi
dent Taylor would certainly “approve the Wil
mot Proviso in the California bill.” whereupon
Mr. Arthur drew forth a letter which he had re
ceived from Jefferson Dttvis, in which the. follow
ing passage occurs, going to show that ben.
Tavlor trill veto the bill, should it come before
him with the proviso :
“ I have little doubt now of the passage of
the Wilinot Proviso, or some equivalent measure.
Dickinson will vote against it. Cass wilinot
vote for it; and this is, I believe, the whole op.
position which will be offered by the Senator of
the non-slaveholding States. But if nty obser
vations here*have destroyed my hopes in Con
gress, they have, on the other hand, created
some confidence that the President will veto the
bill. As I have often told you, his heart is with
us ; and if he believes the measure will be de
strut-five to the Union, which he can now scarce
ly doubt, I am sure the honest old patriot will
cast precedent and Northern advice far from him,
and meet the emergency as becomes his station
and heroic fame. If h does so, it will be like
his acts on the battle field —the result of his own
wifi,.and not the fruit of his advisers’ counsel
and support.”

Li om California-
The following letter from the correspondent
of the New Orleans True Delta, will be found
to be highly interesting. It is descriptive of the
recently elected Senators :
San Francisco, Dec. 27, 1849.
* * * Thinking that yon might take an
interest in the history of the California Senators,
and being in pc*session of the dates of the most
important incidents in their career, I make bold
to send them to you.
The Senators are glorious fellows. Our ship
of stale will ride gallantly upon the bosom of
such integrity and ability, as are embodied in
them. From my heart, 1 wish them God speed !
William M. Gwin was born in Sumter coun
ty, Tennessee, in the year 1805, and graduated
at Transylvania University, in 1827. He stud
ied medicine and practiced for six years in Mis
sissippi and Louisiana, in both of which States
he is well and favorably known, and highly es
teemed. His father, the Rev. James Gwin,
was for several years attached to General Jack
sou’s suite, and, at the battle of New Orleans,
was as much distinguished for his bravery, as
he has ever been lor his piety aud eloquence.
The lion-hearted Jackson was devotedly attach
ed to him, and it is well known, that whenever
he desired to reach the public ear it was his
wont to express his views or complain of his
grievances in letters addressed to his favorite
chaplain.
In 1833, the Doctor was appointed by Gen
eral Jackson, United States marshal for the
southern district of Mississippi, which place he
filled with great satisfaction til! the “cider victo
ry, in 1840, when he resigned, and having been
put in nomination by the democratic party of
that state for a scat in the 27th Congress, he en
tered the field, and though the state had given a
whig majority of 25 )0 at the presidential elec
tion, he was returned.
The Doctor has twice entered the bonds of
wedlock. In ’37, in Louisiana, he led to the al
tar Mrs. Mary Bell Logan, widow of Col. W. G.
Logan, who, at the time of his death, was pay
master general of Texas. Besides being one
of the most fascinating and accomplished ladies
in the southwest, Mrs. Gwin is one of the
most beautiful. It is her desire to follow the
fortunes of her husband, and here, where she
has many acquaintances, the day is looked for
ward to with great satisfaction, when she will
become a denizen of California. In 184 G Dr.
Gwin removed to New Orleans, and, when the
appropriation was made for the new custom
house, was selected by the late administration to
superintend its erection. As he had opposed the
elevation of General Taylor, he felt that he
ought not to hold office under him, and having
resigned, migrated hither, where he arrived on
the Ist June last. His frankness, intelligence,
and manly bearing, won, at once, the regard of
the people, who returned him from this district
to the recent convention. So well satisfied
were his constituents, with his course in that
body, that they put him in nomination for the
United States Senate; and being elected, he re
turns by this steamer. In person, he is beyond
the ordinary size, but he is “every inch a man.”
He. is the possessor of all those estimable quali
ties which endear man to man, and besides, has
the ability to compete in the forum with the
champions of the first list.
John Charles Fremont is younger in years,
but has seen much and studied more. For him
1 predict a more- brilliant career than has ever
attended any man in the senate chamber, not
withstanding the distinguished positions which
have been attained by the dead as well us some
of the living. He was born in South Carolina
in 1814, and graduated at the Charleston col
lege. In ’3B, he was appointed by Mr. Van
Boren to the corps of topographical engineers.
In ’4l, at Washington, he led (after some resis
tance on the part of her* family) a daughter o
senator Benton to the altar. In the outset, his
course of love did not run smooth. Since the
consummation of the tie, the family have been as
proud of him as though he were of their own
ilesh and blood. In ’44, during the administra
tion of President Tyler, he was breveted, in one
day, both to a lieutenancy and captaincy. In
’47, when the regiment of mounted men was
raised, he was appointed by the late president
Polk to the lieutenant colonelcy, and last, though
not least, he was tendered, .a few months since,
by the present administration, without solicita
tion on his part or that of his friends, the com
mission to run the boundary between this State
and Mexico. In person he is below the ordina
ry stature, but his heart is large and feelingly
alive to the distresses of others. Since l have
been here I have encountered many of the men
who have formed part of his various commands,
and in no instance have I yet met with one who
does not award to him a higher palm than they
will bestow upon anv other man. To know
him is to love him, and when his eagle eye spar
kles in the senate chamber, take my word lor it
he will be “the observed of all observers.”
California owed him a large debt of gratitude,
and could not have done less than have tendered
to him her senatorial robes. He accepts them,
and will reflect as much credit upon them as he
has upon every undertaking in which he has
been engaged. He will find friends, and true
ones, wherever he goes ; but here, in his adopt
ed home, he leaves thousands of warm hearts,
whose pulsations beat in unison with his own.

Novel and Ingenious Invention of a Sew

An Incident. During the last war
with Great Britain, a tremendous struggle was
made by both parties to preserve the naval su
premacy of Lake Champlain. Commodore
McDonough, who commanded the American
fleet, determined to risk a general engagement.
So confident were the British of success, that a
small vessel loaded with British subjects came
into the bay where the battle was fought, as
spectators, to witness the prostration of the
“star-spangled banner.” The action was com
tnenced by the British vessels firing a broadside.
At that instant, says the historian, a chicken
cock.which had escaped from one of the coops on
McDonough’s vessel, flew’ upon one of the gun?
and by a loud crow seemed to hurl back a defi
ance on the haughty foe. ‘Fhe instant this was
heard, the whole body of soldiers, officers and
all, greeted the gallant bird with three cheers.
Sailors are naturally superstitious; and Mr.
Cooper, m his naval History, says the crowing o>
the fowl “had a powerful effect upon the known
tendencies of the seamen. ’ During the battle,
the chicken cock flew upon some of the rigging,
and from there, above, the heads of the combat
ants, could be heard between the pauses of
that fearful fight the war-cry of that gallant and
fearless bird.
A Bit or a Story. —Many years ago, when the
State of Georgia was thinly inhabited and the Indians
occupied a large portion of her territory, undisturbed
by the white man, a son ol the Emerald Isle, weary
and hungry, about mid-day, presented himself at the
door of a wealthy farmer and asked for work. The
Irishman told the farmer that lie had travelled far and
was entirely out of money, and unless he gave him
a bit of a job he would not be able to make “a darent
living.” The farmer told him lie had nothing partic
ularly for him to do, but that if he really wanted
work, he thought lie might be able to hunt him up a
job. “Let’s see,” said the farmer, “I believe, as I have
a large stock of poultry and plenty of corn, that 1
will get you to take care of them; but mind, you
must see that every one gets enough, and that no one
gets more than his share ; this you must attend to
twice a day—morning and evening.” Pat pledged
his word that he would strictly carry out his orders.
The necessary arrangements having been made, as
regards wages, board, &.C., Pat was duly installed
in bis new vocation.
Pat performed his duty well and the poultry, under
his good management, were kept in the be t of order.
For sometime, however, Pat’sdiscerning eye perceiv
ed that an old drake was getting more than his share
of corn; this could not. be allowed, lor be was
strictly charged to see that every one got enough,
but no one was to get more than his share.
Now Pat had no idea ol disobeying the commands of
the farmer, so lie was resolved, by some means or
other, to put a stop to it.
One evening, ns usual, while Pat was distributing
corn to his fowls, he commenced soliloquizing in
the following manner: “Arrah, be J , an here ye
are agen, ye and and spoonbill quadruped ! ye lay
in the barn all day, an’ whin I say chi-ky, chi-ky, be
St. Patbrick, ye are the first one here, and, be jabers,
you pick uptbra grain o’ earn to a chicken’s one ;
now, be jabers, an’ I’ll fix you for that, an’ so I will.”
Sure enough Pat tolled Ihe old drake close up to him,
made a grab and nabbed him. “An’ its welcome ye
are, blast yer ugly picture, whin Pin done with ye, to
pick up more than yer share.” With that Pat. pulled
out his knife and trimmed the drake’s bill off sharp
and slim, like a chicken’s, and then he exultingiy
threw him down, saying: “Now, De jabers, ye can
pick up earn longside that bob-tail rooster!”

Mechanics in Congress. —lt is said that
nearly one half the members of the present
Congress were once journeymen mechanics. J
If so, (says the Washington correspondent of j
the Charleston News.) this is an interesting fact,
and shows what perseverance can accomplish.
These men have become great, not so much
front the facilities for a common knowledge,
which our systems of education afford, as Irom a
self-reliance which a sense of independence con
fers. It has been said that the moment you
make a man politically equal with his fellow, you
give him a consciousness that he is so in all
respects.
Bar-kooms in New York. —The following : s an

though there are in Boston quite too many “of the

A Hard Hit. —On Sterne’s entering a coffee
room at York, a Mr. A., staring him full in the j
face, said—“He hated a parson.”
Upon which Sterne rejoined, “And so, sir, ]
does my dog; as soon as I put on gown and
cassock, he tails a barking. ’
“Indeed!” replied A. “How long has he j
done so ?”
“Ever since he. was a puppy, sir,” answered
S., “and I still look upon him as one.”
O’ “My son,” said an old turbaned Turk one day,
taking his child by the hand, in the streets of .Cairo,
and pointing out to him on the opposite side a French
man, just imported in all the elegance of Parisian
costume —“iny son, look there ! if you ever forget
God and the prophet, you may come to look like
that!” ‘
(k 7“ “Madam, shall I wait on yon home ?”
“Oh, no, sir, don’t take the trouble.”
“It is no trouble, Madam, I assure you.”
He waited on her home. The evening was
very cold, and the distance was great. She left
him at the door, but said not a word of thanks.
She afterwaids heard that he charged her with
a lack of politeness, in not thanking
she replied, “lie told me plainly that it was no
trouble. If so, no thanks were due. But it he
told me a lie, and it really was trouble, then he
owes me an apology for deceiving me.”
CfCT Coleridge, who was a very awkward
rider, was once accosted by a wag, who remark
ed this peculiarity. “I say, young man. did
you meet a tailor on the road ?” “Yes,” replied
C., (who was never at a loss for a rejoinder,)
“I did : and he told me that it I went on a little
further that I should meet a goose !” ‘Fhe as.
sailant was struck dumb, while the traveller
jogged on.
O'Judge —, of Wisconsin, though an in
corrigible old bachelor, is a great admirer of the

of him that travelling one day in his wagon he over
took a woman and baby.
“Madam,” said lie, “that child must be a burden to
you. If you will promise not to talk nonsense to it,
you may ride in my wagon.” This the lady re*d;!y
promised; but soon forgetting the scruples of her
companion, 6he commenced with, “Bess its little

Muscogee Lodge No. 6, I. 0. ♦. F.
Whereas this Lodge is sadly afflicted by a recent dis
pensation of an All-wise Providence—Death that hus
bandman Who reaps always, out of season as in season,
with the sickle in his hand, has cut down in onr midst,
our beloved brother, GEORGE W. TURRENTINE.
This sudden bereavement should admonish us that
each breath is burdened with a bidding, and every min
ute hath its mission ; that “in the midst of life we are in
death,” end teach us to bow in meek submission to the
will of Him, Whose plans are too vast and high for ouf
comprehension.
In contemplating the life of our departed brother, w 0
have a lesson of high mdral excellence ; his intercourse
with the world, (though not freed from its trials and rC J
verses) was ever in frankness and sincerity. His inSiti
ence in society, inculcated strict inoral virtue, as a hits*
band and father, he Was gentleness and love, us a Chris
tian ; his meek and pioits walk, exhibited to all, the
truthfulness of his profession. And as a brother of this
Lodge, all the virtues which constituted a worthy and lie
loved member of onr order, were beautifully exhibited in
his near approach to “the perfect man,”
Under a deep 6ense of this visitation !
Re sotted, That in the decease of bro. Turrentine, this
community has lest a citizen of high moral worth ; the
Church a striking example of christiun piety, and in an
especial manner has this Lodge sustained a heavy and
afflicting bereavement.
Resulted, That We deeply sympathize with the breth
ren of the different orders to which he was attached, and
offer them our heartfelt sorrow in the loss of bro. Turren
tine.
Resolved, That we tender to the grief stricken widow
and family, of our beloved brother our condolence in this
their Hour of sadness and affliction.
Resulted, That we will wear the usual badge of
mourning lor thirty days.
Resulted, That the Secretary transmit a copy of
these resolutions to the family of bro. Turrentine.
Resolved, That these proceedings he published in the
