Our Telegraphic Arrangements.
We have the satisfaction to announce to our
readers that we have contracted with the As*
soeiated Press to furnish us with the latest Tele
graphic intelligence. It is unnecessary to remark
upon the absolute reliability of the information to
be derived from this souice. The readers of the
Times will henceforth be put in possession of
commercial, political and general news, simulta
neously with its reception in Augusta, Savannah,
and other Southern cities.
To Correspondents.
Ours is emphatically a communicative age. No
sooner does a man feel possessed of an idea than
he is seized with a desire, an impulse to give it
form and development in the outward life ol the
world. Partly from egotism, partly from an earn
est and generous desire to advance the interests ol
truth, he thinks of nothing but how he may induce
hie fellows to adopt the theory or practice of his
supposed discovery. It is a noble passion. To t,
perhaps, is the world fhdebted for all that is good
or great. The mighty reformers in politics, science
aud religiou felt its inspiration and were impelled
by its irresistible promptings. In our day, the
press is the power by which change and retorma
tion in manners, opinions and life are wrought, or,
rather, it is the medium through which such results
are reached. It is not strange that its privileges
are sometimes abused. Many mistake error for
truth ; others imagine that they have discovered
anew truth when, in fact, they have only manu
factured anew dross for an idea older than them
selves, while not a fow magnify and elaborate
nothing.
The reader, doubtless, is becoming curious to
know the application wc intend to make ol these
generalities. Well, we designed them merely as
an introduction to what we have to 9ay to our
correspondents. We shall always be glad to hear
from them, provided they will coniine themselves
to the discussion of interest ins subjects and, also,
that their communications are short. Truth should
be the aim and object ol all who address the pub
lic, and, the world of opinion differing in this re
spect from the world of matter, the shortest route
is always the best. We are the conductors of a
news-paper and should render ourselves justly ob
noxious to censure, were we to admit into our
columns long dissertations on hackneyed themes
to the exclusion of interesting matter, such as the
facilities of the present day furnish us. With
these conditions, which, we conceive ou/ duty to
our readers requires us to observe, we cheerfully in
vite our correspondents to send forward their con
tributions.
Ireland as it was and as it is.
No reader of the history of Ireland for the last
thirty years, can lail to perceive the great change
which bas taken place i:t her social, moral and
political condition. Contrast her present prospe
rity with her past degradation, and we have Ame
rica as it is now, blooming and blossoming as the
rose, her valleys yielding rich produce, her hills
made low, her people feasting on the fruits of in
dustry, and enjoying the sweets of liberty com
pared with a desert island, roamed over and in
habited by an ignorant, barbarous people incapa
ble ol advancing in the arts, sciences or agricultu
ral pursuits. Ireland to day is dressed in a different
garb from the one she wore yesterday. It is the
raiment of the tagg.tr, the down-trodden, the op ■
preyed, changed to the dress of the landlord,
the up-risen, the free. Not only has she made
rapid strides in scientific discoveries and mechani
cal improvements, hut there has been a maiked
change in the customs and institutions of the
Country—a social regeneration ol the whole race.
Peace and plenty now smile where before was
strife and poverty. Industry rejeives its reward
where labor was robed of its fruit. Indeed old
Ireland i9 not now to be seen, except through the
jealousy of the rival creeds, which separates the
Papins from the Aristocracy, The embers ofthase
ancient tires are sometimes stirred up, which
threaten much evil and retard the progress ol
Ireland.
The anniversary of the Seige of Derry—the
commemoration of the event which banished their
Sovereign—proscribed their religion and destroyed
their property,awakens reminiscences too painful
to contemplate and too offensive to tolerate in the
minds of the Papists. Then should the advice of
Lord Eglinloun be received and this event be no
longer commemorated, the flowing of the “bitter
waters of Marah” would cease and Ireland would
increase in prosperity and influence.
No wonder riot and blood shed were the result
ol a false system aud a picture of Irish society
thirty years ago. The tenant, with no stimulant
to exertion, cultivated the lands as the only means
oflivlihood and was necessarily rack-rented out
of all proportion and power. lie paid besides bis
rent, tithes to a Clergy whom he dispised with a
warm hatred and which only feed the flames of
an odious persecution. Then it is a matter of no
surprise that he combined against his landlord,
and was driven by unjust exactions to despera
tion and madness. At that time three wars raged
in the Country—the political, the religious and
the predial. Misery, uncertainty of life and other
concomitant evils followed it, which are now only
forgotten in the joyousness of present prosperity.
Among the causes which may have contributed to
the social disorders of the island at this period
may be numbered the demands made by the Irish,
which they considesed just aud equitable, and
which were denied them—the failure and blow of
the potato system, which drove into banishment,
the starving peasanty and ousted the landlords—
the gold discoveries wnich afforded an opportunity
for labor-the number of railroads being construc
ted throughout the United States, ottering prizes
for honest industry and which increased the emmi
gration.
Whatcver.however.be the cause of the past
degadation and present prosperity of Ireland, it is
a glorious conception that two men of diflerent
parties—an Irish Viceroy and an ex-Premier—
Lord Eglintoun and Lord Palmerston should unite j
their voices in proclaiming her peace, happiness j
and prosperity.
May she continue to prosper until wo behold the j
dawn of that bright, day. when the epitaph of |
Emmet will be written— when justice will be ‘
done bis memory—when hie motives will be vin
dicated and when hi 9 “ Country takes her position
among the nations of the earth.”
Homicide.— JohnS. Rawls, an old manw
formerly resided in this place, says the Pulaski
Times, went to the Carriage Shop of Mr. S. F,
Brown, on last Friday evening, and a difficulty
ensued between him and Mr. Brown, the propri
etor. Mr. Rawls received a blow on the head,
which resulted in his death on Monday morning.
We forbear any comments on ihis sad affair,
which has brought distress to the friends of both
b e dead and living.
Governorship op Nebraska Territory.—
Gov. Richardson, of Illinois, has resigned the Gov
ernorship of Nebraska Territory, and a deputa
tion is now, it is said, on its way to Washington
city, to ask the Executive to appoint Col. John A
Parker, of Henrico county, Va., to fill the va
cancy. Col. P. was formerly register of the land
office in Nebraska.
Wire for the Atlantic Cable.— The Boston
Atlas says; It is generally supposed that the At
lantic cable was made entirely in England. Such
is not the case Very many miles of the wire
were manufactured in Providence, at a factory in
the upper portion of the city. One thousand
tons of iron per day were consumed in the work,
and its superiority over that made in England is
well understood by the Cable Company. It is
worthy of note that no portion of the wire made
in this country parted while being laid.
tsr The controversy between Parson Brown
low and Payne on the Slavery Question, was
commenced at Philadelphia on Tuesday last.—
The former was laboring under such a stvere at
tack of bronchitis, that it was supposed someone
would have to read his lectures for him.

Harris County Crops
► Sept. lOtii, 1858.
Messrs. Editors The corn crop in this coun
ty is excellent. The cotton crop is also good,
but not quite so bearing as the farmers were in
clined to think a short time since. The squares
and smaller bolls having dropped off very much.

Legum Memorabilia—No. 3.
So play the foolish throngs with one that swoons,
Come all to help him, and so stop the air,
By which he should revive.— Men, for Men.
Much has been said and written concern
ing the March of mind, and diffusion of
knowledge. Vet despite pur boasting, to
our ancestors must be conceded the credit
of having been more specific in laws, and
restringent in morals than their descendants
of the present day.
For example, the following statute with
respect to “profane swearing.” Which
though unrepealed; at least such is our in
formation ; lias long since ceased to be of
force and effect
*“ If any public officer shall take a profane
oath he shall forfeit five shillings, and any
other person not being a public officer two
shillings and sixpence, recoverable by
distress and sale. In default of distress the
offender being above sixteen years, shall be
set in the stocks for one hour, for any sin
gle offence; and if for more than one (if
convicted at the same time) two hours. Il
under sixteen years and shall not immedi
ately pay, lid shall be whipt by the Consta
ble, by warrant of the Justice, or by the
parent, guardian or master, in the presence
of the Constable. Act State of Geo. 1780.”
Without discussing the wisdom of such
law; which has the sanction of the great
Athenian“Lavv-giver,” who decreed that the
citizens of Athens should not revile one an
other ; we cannot but commend its brief and
forcible diction. In a Democratic govern
me; t the expression of the law should be
concise and simple. It is the province of
tyranny to render laws unintelligible. And
we are prone to condemn the unmeaning
tautology, and incongruous provisions, found
in very many Acts of modern legislation.
“ There is” says a distinguished English
Jurist—“apparently a notion among ama
teurs, that legislative language must be in
tricate and barbarous. Certain antique
phrases are apparently, thought by them to
be essential to law writing. A readiness
in the use of “ nevertheless” “ provided
always” “and it shall and may be lawful”
“ and he is hereby authorized, empowered
and required to” “ any Act or Acts to the
contrary notwithstanding” &c., &c. Seems
to be admitted to constitute the qualification
for drawing Acts of Parliament.
The merit appears to mount higher in !
proportion as the author can succeed in
including a greater number of limitations
and qualifications, conditions and provisoes
between the nominative case and the verb,
or any other pair of dependant words ”
This notion if is that has caused in a
great measure our Lex Scripta to become
so voluminous, not only in Legislative
enactments, but decisions of the Supreme
Courts ; whose duty, and an onerous one, it
is to extricate the intent of the Legislators
from such a labyrinth of verbiage.
Among the ancients there was a custom :
when heroes were buried, for the soldiers, j
to cast each his shield-full of earth upon the
grave. Raising thereby, an earthen monu
ment, so that any one might see the sepul
chre, but no man might disinter the body.
Now it transpires, not unfrequently, that I
a time honored statute, that has done much ‘
service in its primitive simplicity, is laid
before our Legislative Assemblies. Then
amid much ceremony, much preamble,
many Acts supplementary, Amendments,
and Provisoes, which it has become custo
mary for each Legislator to contribute, we
look in vain lor the once active and sym- ;
ineterical form, ami find instead a dull heap |
of senseless matter. REX.
* Hence, we conjecture, may be traced
certain profane phrases which have come
down to the present. Such as “ not worth
ad n” “not worth a curse'’ etc.—
which expressions being used in reference
to a public tunctionary intimated that he
was not worth a dollar and a quarter ; if
in referring to any other individual, that he
was not worth sixty-two and a half cents. —
Which, then as now, was considered a very
small estimate of humanity. R.
The Captured Africans.
We find the following card in the Sav.
Morning News of 9th inst.
Mr. Editor:—l see in your issue of this
morning that ‘ the American Colonization
Society has offered to take the captured
Africans on landing in Liberia, and for fif
ty thousaud dollars, keep them for one year
and learn (teach?) them industrial pur
: suits.” Now I desire to make this propo
sition to the government: I will take them
and give fitty thousand dollars for the
privilege, and will guarantee to teach them
: “industrial pursuits” without any charge
and keep them for a term of years. Which
proposition will the government accept?—
They are much in want of money, but
equally in need of‘popularity North, and I
am inclined to think they will favor the
Society that Judge Lumpkin of our
Supreme Court has denounced as a
swindle. We shall soon see.
C. A. L LAMAR.
A Philosopher in Defeat.
In the late election in Arkansas for members of
Congress. Mr. James A. Jones was a candidate
for Representative, in opposition to Mr. Rust.
Jones was slightly defeated—say some six or sev
en thousaud majority ; and upon ascertaining the
result, came out in his paper, the Ouachita Herald
as follows:
DEFEATED, OR UP SALT RIVER.
“We cave.”— Muggins.
“Not in vain should such examples be.”— Byron.
We—that is to say, James A Jjnes, edi
tor of the Ouachita Herald, and late can
didate for Congress—are ingloriously de
feated. To use a classical, and entirely
original expression, “we have met the ene
my and we are theirs.” We evidently cast
our pearls before swine. We magnani
mously, and at a considerable sacrifice of
our habitual self-respect, offered to serve
a people who had no appreciation of the
offering. We can’t help it. We didn’t
make the people, and are not under con
tract to supply them with brains. If they
were wilfully blind to our merit, the fault
is theirs. If they are opposed to receiving
individually a hundred and sixty acres of
land a piece, they have a perfect right to
reject it—they ought to know whether or
not (hey deserve it. If they don’t want the
rights of the South “preserved inviolate,”
why they may have them pickled for all we
care.
We did our duty, and our conscience is
easy. At the enormous expense of sixteen
dollars and thirty-two cents we printed a
multitude of circulars-sufficient, we thought
to elect any man—with which we flooded
this Congressional District, and a large
portion of the Cherokee Nation. We wrote
to our friends, to rally to our support. But
they didn’t r-diy, We then concealed our
selves as wcil as we could at home, refusing
positively to extend our acquaintance, or to
see more of the public than the public did
of us. With these precautions, we deem
ed success certain. A great many persons
wrote us that we should get an overwhelm
ing vote —they were not deceit ed, it was
overwhelming. Many credulous persons
told us that we should he elected ; we lis
tened to them and were deceived. But we
forgive them, for they made us feel very
comfortable—for a while; and all earthly
happiness is transitory. We shall never
become a candidate again w ithout consult
ing somebody on the subject first, and as
certaining whether they do or do not desire
us to run ; for we are satisfied that it is
folly to he a candidate, unlees somebody
does want you to run, and will vote for
you on the strength of that desire.
We are not without consolation. We
are not the only candidate that was defeat
ed. There are numbers in as bad a fix as
ourself. Besides, greater men than we
claim to have been as badly beaten. Gen.
Harrison, afterwards President of the Uni
ted States, was once defeated for County
Clerk in Ohio, and James K. Polk was beai
en for Governor of Tennessee. We arc in
good company and shall, therefore, not
complain.
There is one thing foi which the people
should be grateful to us. We did not bore
them with long and tiresome speeches as
some ol the aspirants did. We remained
“quietly at home,” and they so highly ap
preciated our modesty that they have given
us the privilege of continuing to do so. We
are thankful for small favors.
Among our numerous friends, ex-Gov.
Drew is entitled to our warmest acknowl
edgments. His intention, doubtless, was
to assist us in beating Rust, by procuring
a large aud influential majority of the
Democratic party to vote for him. With
this object in view he made a brilliant can
vass, ending in a no less brilliant failure.
But, notwithstanding he carried off a con
siderable portion of our vote, w T e honor
him for his laudable intentions. Hereafter
he has but to command us, and we will
obey—if it suits us to do so.
To the fifteen patriotic and chivalrous
! voters, who cast their suffrage for us in
Pike county, we beg leave to tender our
sincere and unfeigned gratitude. We owe
them a debt that would be difficult to repay.
Asa slight evidence of our high apprecia
tion and lasting regard, we propose that if
they will forward us a list of their names,
we will send them the Herald for life—at
the usual price, $3 per annum, invariably
in advance.
In conclusion, we desire permission to re
mark, that the small experiment we have
just made is eminently satisfactory. What
ever aspirations we may have had for glory
are entirely subdued. The pursuit ol’ a
seat in Congress “under difficulties” is one
in which we have no desire to re-engage.
We are satisfied that we carry with us into
our retirement the best wishes of a gener
ous though ungrateful people, ami are
content.
Crops.
On this subject, a writer in the Augusta
Chronicle & Sentinel, from Cuthbert, Ga.,
says: The cotton crop in this and adjacent
counties, so far as my observation [and en
quiry has extended, is about equal to two
thirds of a full crop. Some planters esti
mate the decrease in their crops at one
half; others a fourth, but generally at a
third. Four weeks ago the prospect for a
large crop was as good as could have been
wished. The abundant tains had produced
a fine, large, and apparently healthy weed
full of bolls, squares and blooms. About
that time the rust began to make its appea
rance, accompanied with other disasters,
and now the lovers of thrift and plenty will
have to wait until another season, more
abundant than this, before they can feast
theireyeson that most gratifying sight a
snow white cotton field. The corn crop is
an abundant one. Peas and potatoes are
very promising.
The Columbus [Miss.] Democrat says—
The Cotton crop, we regret to state was
never so unpromising in this section as it
is now. From personal observation, and
information from the planters themselves,
we think we can safely say that not more
than half a “crop will be realized in the
lower portion of this county and the north
ern Tpart of Noxubee. One gentleman in
the latter county informed us that he plain
ed for sixty bales but now he did not ex
pect to make more than twenty. The boll
worm is making sad ravages, particularly
in the prairies, and we believe no section is
free from them.
A correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune, writing from Yazoo county
Mississippi, says that the most sanguine
do not now count upon more than two
thirds of a crop in the hills. The crop in
the bottom he estimates at an average one,
deducting the loss from overflow, which for
that county he estimates at „7,000 to 10,000
bales. The hill crop has suffered from boll i
worms and drought, the bottom crops from
worms and rust.
Take Them to Boston.— -The Southside
(Va.) Democrat suggests that the best plan
to get clear of the captured Africans is to
take (hem to Boston. “ There can be little
doubt,” says the Democrat, “ that they
would teach a valuable lesson, in two or
three ways. They would absorb sometfhat
of that surplus philanthropy which finds
itself without objects at home, and cruis
es about after the “ poor negro” in the
’ South.
“ This would relieve the Government,
while it could not be objected to on the part
of Boston, except that such a lump of bles
sing’s might too much exhilerate her sober
people.”
To clear a room of mosquitoes, an
exchange gives the lollowing recipe :
Virtues of Saltpetre. —One way to
run musquitoes off’ the premises is to set
fire to a ball of damp powder in the cham
bers of the house, and close up every place
of exit tight. The vexatious insects will
soon get sick of it and attempt to slope. In
half an hour turn them out, air the room
well, and then close the blinds and doors.
When retiring, the door should be kept
closed as long as the light is burning, alter
which it may be opened, and you may sleep
coolly and undisturbed till morning.

Mr. Davis was one of the oldest citizens of the

generous and obliging neighbor. The writer has
