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.

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 : Year. Price of Wheat.

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.” The Yankee Blade is one of the best weeklies in the country.

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. Plank Roads.— This kind of road is an im portant feature in American enterprise. There are nearly 1000 miles of plank road in this Slate, (N. Y.) and the progress of them is onward. Utica and Oswego plank road unites the Valley of the Mohawk with Lakes Oneida and Ontario, and opens up a most interesting district of country to the advantages of convenient commercial transit. We look upon pi ink roads in America as anew and important feature for social and commercial benefit to our people.— Set. Am. Novel and Ingenious Invention of a Sew ing Machine. —Mr. J. P- Martin, proprietor of Bradshaw’s Telegraphic Sewing Machine, is now exhibiting this wonderful combination of mechanism at flic City Hotel, 1 bird St., Phila delphia. Wc have seen the machine in opera- I tion, and were really astonished at the perfect j w’ork done in straight and curved sewing.. Mr. j Martin informs us it can be adjusted to sew ! leather and heavy woolens, as well as the light : est cotton fabrics, with equai ease and rapidity. It is altogether, considering its durability and i simplicity, a most ingenious, as well as valuable invention, and cannot fail to become a standard article of practical machinery.— Am. Farmer. Tiif. Law. —“ There is room enough above, j but they are awfully crowded down below,” is said to have been >lr. Webster’s replyto one who i asked whether he had better study law. §(D Ofl TT GO i M § i j'J 7 J j'J is 1, 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!” [ The Wilkinson Whig. 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 official record of the har-rooms for the sale of ardent spirits within the city of New York: Whole num ber, four thousand five hundred and twenty-four ; li censed, three thousand seven hundred and sixty-four; not licensed, seven hundred and sixty; open on Sun days, tw’o thousand nine hundred and twenty. Al though there are in Boston quite too many “of the same sort,” yet tiie contrast Irom the above is very striking, and accounts for the degree of public peace fulness which is maintained.— Transcript. o”Accorditig to the “Catholic Almanac for 1850,” there are now in the United States three Archbish- 1 ops,*24 Bishops, 1,141 Priests, and 1,133 Churches— j an increase of one Bishop and 105 Priests within the ; past year. Os these Priests, fifty-two w’ere ordained in the United States. 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 ladies, and few men are more polite or attentive to them ; but “baby talk” is his abhorrence. It is said 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 heart! Suit should go fidv pidy in de cochee poa chee !” “What!” thundered the exasperated Judge, “get out of my wagon !” * Muscogee Lodge No. 6, I. 0. ♦. F.

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.
