Georgia-A Compliment.
The question of Universiiy and Common Schoo
education (snow engage tho attention of the
!oople of Georgia. It has called into requisition
the talents of Cobb, and the ability ol the news
paper press. That, the subject is worthy the con
sideration of an enligtened people none will gain
gav-that it may meet with success we may be
permitted to hope. In the New Orleavs Com
mercial Bulletin, we find an editorial from which
we extract the following compliment to Georgia in
connection with this great enterprise :
“Georgia has received the proud appellation ol
the “Empire State of the South,” and appears de
termined to be worthy of it. In manufactures,
railroads and other kinds of home industry, she
has set an example well worthy of being followed
by her sister States of the South. Much of her
territory is barren, and yet we are not certain af
ter all, that this will not ultimately turn out a
blessing rather than an evil; for has not experi
ence proved that where nature does everything for
a people, they will do nothing, or very little, lor
themselves ? Place a man upon a sterile soil, and
necessity compels him to exert himself to obtain
a living, and in the exercise of his wit and his
industry for this purpose primarily, he will soon
hit upon agencies by accident or otherwise, that
will convert his barren acres into sources of
wealth, luxuries and all the refinements of life.—
The sterile, under the magic wand of industry di
rected by intelligence, becomes fruitful; streams
irrigate arid wastes, and flowers shed over them the
beautf of their perpetual fragrance.
Somewhat of these results has already obtained
in Georgia. Her people are a very practical pea
pie ; they put their hands to the plow, to the loom
to the anvil, to the mill stone ; they put into prac
tical operation the machinery and the appliances
whereby this Southern poverty may be replaced
with wealth, and this weakness with power.
There is common sense, sterling common sense in
all that, and we should like to witness the exhi
bition of something, or somewhat more, of this
spirit of resolute independence and indomitable
energy in certain other localities that might be
mentioned, not excepting a certain saccharine re -
gion sometimes yclept the ol the
Union. It is our true policy and the only policy
that will enable us to cope successfully with our
neighbors. Unless we adopt it, and carry it out
with unflagging vigor, we shall find ourselves left
laggards laf in the rear of our more stirring rivals.
We cannot depend exclusively on our position
and the richhess of our soil. There is requisite the
genius of the cunning hand and the intellect to de
velope their advantages, to draw from them the in
exhaustible magazines of wealth which they are
ready to yield.”
Yellow Fever-
This disease stfll lingers in a few of our South
ern cities. In Savannah the deaths average from
turn to three a day. In Mobile three to four. In
Charleston, the fever is on the decline, and las 1
week’s mortality shows that there were only about
fifty deaths for the week. In Galveston the weath
er was warm at our last dates (Oct. sth.) and the
fever was on the increase. ‘There were eight or
ten interments a day. In New Orleans, the fever
is also on the increase, and the interments equal
those of September. Last week’s report shows
that the disease increased 2? over the previous
week. The number of interments is about fifty a
day.
The following is the report of Charity Hospital
for the week endihg Friday, Oct. Bth, 6 o’clock:
Admitted (all diseases) 331
Discharged (111 of yellow fever) 212
Died (112 of yellow fever) 122
Remaining (all discards) 659
Yellow’Fever—The New Orleans Board of
Health reports 64 deaths by Yellow Fever in that
city, lor the twenty four hours ending at noon on
Saturday the 9th iust. This was an increase of
eight on the previous day’s report
Mortality in Savannah.
Savannah, Oct 12,—There were, during the
past two days, eleven interments in this city —six
of which were caused by yellow fever. During the
week there were 32 interments, of which fifteen
were caused by yellow fever.
Monsieur Belly.
The New York Herald copies from the Hispano
Americano, a European journal devoted to the
interests of the republics of Central America, an
important article on the subject of the Belly ca
nal project in Nicaragua. M. Belly had an inter
view with Prince Napoleon in Paris on the 31st
of August, when he was complimented on the
results of his mission, and he hoped for a similar
reception from the Emperor on his return from
Biarritz. The French politicians and savans have
ranked M. Belly with Saiad Pasha an ! M. F.
Lesseps, as a great projector of canal civilization.
They assert that he will soon return under cover
of the naval flag of France, in order to commence
work in Nicaragua under the Martinez and Mora
charters: but the writer adds the important pro
viso ol “if the United States do not prevent it, ’
which consideration makes a serious alteration m
the aspect of the affair.
Muscogee Railroad.
The operations of this Company for the month
of September last show the handsome result of
$19,706.74. The gross receipts for the corres
ponding month were $12,293,20. The
excess for this year $7,413.26. For the first ten
days of the present month the receipts were 7,526,-
51; for the same period in Oat. 1857, $5,015 66.
Increase this year $2,510.85. This is certainly a
fair showing for the commencement of the win
ter’s- business. If the cotton should contiaue to
come in without abatement of quantity, as there
is now a great probability that it will, for the next
three or four months, the receipts of the road will
be greatly in advance of any previous season since
its construction. There is no better eight per
cent, stock in the State, and capitalists will not be
slow to find it out. There is not a dollars worth of
the stock upon the market and holders in this sec
tion have so much confidence in the profitableness
of their investment that they consider a sale, at a
lower figure than our best Railroad Stocks are
ab'e to command, a sacrifice. Notwithstanding the
business of the road has been increased to such an
extent, the expenses have been, in almost a cor
responding ratio, diminished, and it is now opera
ted upon a system of the most rigid economy
practicable. We have every confidence that the
present guardians of it? interest will give a perma
nence to this principle which shall be illustrated in
punctual and remunerative dividends.
Hon- Henry G. Lamar-
This old democratic hero is a candidate for re
election to the office of Judge of the Macon Cir
cuit. He is well known to the citizens of this
State, having early won a character for honesty,
integrity and ability, which has followed him to
this period of his life. A a ide Irom his political
reputation, which is dear to the democracy of
Georgia, he has discharged the duties ol the
Judgeship of the Macon Circuit with a fidelity
which will overcome all opposition to his re-elec
tion—or insure him a triumphant victory if op
posed. He is thus alluded to by the Grand Jury
of Macon county at the last Superior Court.
“In taking leave ofhis Honor, Henry G. Lamar,
wo tender him our grateful thanks for the ability,
zeal, courtesy end impartial discharge of the du
ties of his office during the present Term ol this
Court. We hope the office he now holds may
ever be filled by a man so competent and impar
tial.”
The Elections.
The election iu Indiana, Pennsylvanian and a
few other ..States are now over. We shall 6oon
know the result and will lay before our readers
the latest telegraphic dispatches with which we
are supplied daily. The fortunes of Hon. Stephen
A, Douglas too will soon be determined. In the
meantime will not democrats learn a lesson from
thesilenceof the opposition press towards Mr.
Crittenden. They care not a whit it he stands
with Mr. Douglas, he is still “incorruptible,” albeit
the democracy aid the Black Republicans il they
oppose Douglas and are demoralized if they sup
port him. Let us then cease our bickerings over
the policy to be pursued towards a recreant leader
and fight the opposition who are using tact, in
genuity and skill to get position.
Elections on Tuesday—On Tuesday, the 12th,
elections took place in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi
ana, lowa, South Carolina, and Minnesota, the
results of which will do much to determine the
character of the next Congress. None of these
States have Senators in Congress to elect except
Minnesota. In the present House of Representa
tives there are from Pennsylvania fifteen Demo
crats and ten Republicans ; in Ohio, nine Demo
crats and twelve Republicans , in Indiana six
Democrats and five Republicans; in lowa, two
Republicans ; in Minnesota, two Democrats. To
tal, thirty-two Democrats and twenty-nine Re
publicans.
fe a very nice, genteel young lady
in Peoria, Illinois, who in twenty-one years has
been married three times. On each occasion of
her marriage she was united to a man younger
than herself, and the last time to one twenty three
years her junior. She lived happy with the first,
unhappy with the second, but prefers the last.—
At the age of twenty she was wedded to a man
aged nineteen, with whom she lived about six
years. At the age of thirty she married a man of
twenty, with whom she lived only two years.—
After a lapse of nearly niue years of “siogle bless
edness ”at the end of which lime she was forty
one years old, she married again, and, in this in
stance, capped the climax, the man she married
being only eighteen years old, her present hus
band, with whom she has lived very happily for
two years. If he is a considerate young man he
will die soon and give the widow a chance to look
up somebody el se.
Why the Austria was Burned so Quickly.
—lt is suggested by the Now York Tribune that
the excess, rather than a lack of water, occasion
ed the rapid spread of the flames on the Steamer
Austria. The burning tar, instead of being ex
tinguished by the buckets full of wafer thrown
upon it, floated upon the surface to all parts of
the vessel.
American Interests in China and Japan.
Washington, Oct. 7. —Mr. Reed, Minis
ter to China, says in his official despatches
receieed to-day, that after he signed the
Treaty he made a provisional arrrangement
with the Commissioner for the adjustment
of the claims of American citizens arising
out of the difficulties ?t Canton, by which
portions of the duties at Shanghae, Fuh Chu
and Canton, are to be appropriated to that
end. He intended to visit during the sum
mer months such of the ports of Japan as
might be! accessible and return to the
United States by way of Bombay in No
vember or December next.
Commodore Tatnall, in his official de
spatches to the Secretary of the Navy, da
ted July sth, after saying that the entire
East India Squadron would soon be shown
to the Japanese, remarks, that no better op
portunity could be selected for a temporary
absence from the coast of China, as the
recent treaties and termination of hostili
ties together with the swarms of English
and French ships of war in the rivers, must
place all the foreign interests of lawful kind
in perfect safety for the present. He would
return with the squadron to the coast of Chi
na about the last of October.
Railroad Meeting. — A Railroad meet
ing was held in Thumasville on Tuesday
last, in pursuance of previous notice, and
the sum of twenty odd thousand dollars
subscribed to the Southern Georgia and
Florida Railroad, for the purpose of organi
zing the Company, surveying and putting
under contract the first section of ten miles.
Twenty-seven thousand dollars had been
previously subscribed, and the whole
amounting to between forty and fifty thou
sand dollars, or nearly the amount requir
ed by the charter for organizing the Com
pany.
A committee was appointed to solicit
subscriptions, and we understand their
efforts in several instances were very suc
cessful.
The proceedings of the meeting have not
been furnished us, and therefore not pub™
lished ; but we feel perfectly safe in assur
ing our readers that this work will be
promptly carried out. Those who atten
ded the two meetings already held have
exhibited a liberality and 4 zeal in this en
terprise that has not characterized their
deliberations heretofore, and which encour
ages us to hope and believe there will be
no diminution of spirit, energy and funds,
until Thomas county, with her beautiful
town, has been placed in the position for*
tune now offers, and swelling into opulence
from the increasing value of her Rail
roads.— Thomasville Enterprise, 9th inst )
The Society Islands.
A Washington correspondent of the
Richmond South gives the Following sketch
of recent events:
The French Government, as I am in
formed, took possession ot the Society and
Marquesas Islands in 1842, and still hold
possession of them; but from the stringen
cy and excessive jealousy of the French
Protectorate for some years past, on ac
count of the inlerferance of foreigners, the
people of those Islands are desirous of be
ing again free from all French rule. So it
is with the people of other Islands of Po
lynesia, under the control of England, and
hence the reason of their desire ot annexa
tion to the United States, for which these
people have been inclined to be amicably
disposed. The French, knowing the dis
position of the natives to be friendly to
wards us, have used every means in their
power to incite them to rebellion and make
them hostile to our people, and, if possible,
to keep them in complete ignorance of our
power and importance.
It was not'until the cruise of the United
States ship John Adams, Capt. Boutwell,
that the natives of Polynesia knew that
there was a third great nation in the world
(America) that they could annex themselves
to. During the visit of the John Adams,
the natives of those Islands were made to
feel that one of the greatest commercial na
tions on the globe was the United States,
as the letters of United States Consul Wil
liams, of the Fejee Islands, will show, ex
tracts of which I send you, the originals of
which can be found on file in the State
Department.

U. S. Commercial Agency,

Hon. IV. L, Marcy,
Secretary of State, U. S. Washington:
The reports abroad respecting w hat has
been said by the officers of English ships of
war and English Wesleyan missionaries,
respecting their government and our own,
and our claims, together with the letters
enclosed, proves the fact of asservation on
the part of her British Majesty’s officers and
English missionaries to Tui Viti, and
against our claimants, he, Tui Viti, supposes
England controls us in the United States.
Strange state of affairs, indeed. Not until
after the United Statas ship John Adams
visited here in 1855, did the officers of the
English surveying ship, the Herald, dare
venture to penetrate into the interior of
this country. Cjmmander Boutwell, com
manding the United States ship John Ad
ams, relieved them of their fears, opening
the way for future researches in all parts,
free of danger.

U. S. Commercial Agent to Fejee Islands.

Consulate of the U. S. i
Lauthala, Fejee Islands, Aug. 31, ’57 £
Hon. W. L. Marcy, Secretary of State
of the United Stales, Washington:
Fejeeans circumcise as practiced by the
Jews of old. Sometimes for slight offences,
a woman’s nose is either cut or bit off.—
Now, Captain E. B. Boutwell, of the U. S.
ship-of-war John Adams, put a stop, in
these Islands, to the inhuman practice of
eating human flesh, and the strangling of
women and children, was the cause of the
civilization of more than fifty thousand Fe
jeeans, and did more lor the advancement
of civilization and Christianity in the Fejee
nation than any body of men or ship~of
war, excepting the sloop-of-war Falmouth,
Captain Petigru, of Charleston, (who done
well for the limited time he was here, with
scarcity of provisions on board) lor the last
sixteen years, or since the departure of
Commander Wilkes, of the United States
Exploring Expidition in 1840.
I have the honor to be, sir,
Your most obedient servant,
JOHN B. WILLIAMS,
U. S. Consul, Lauthala.
It will be plainly seen that we have done
more towards the civilization and christian
izing of these people than any other nation,
and nevertheless, because of their desire to
be annexed to us, the French have had the
audicity to arrest and take on hoard two of
our citizens. It is time our interest in these
waters be fully sustained, and that ample
reparation be exacted by our Government
of the French. VERITAS.
The Morals of Affliction.
“Sweet,” says Shakespeare, “are the uses
of adversity,”
“Which like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel io its bead.”
One of our own writers remarks:
“But for the sorrows of the heart, where
would the affections find their strength ?
Our virtues, like certain aromatic herbs of
the forest, only give out their sweets when
their leaves are bruised and trampled. He
who has never lelt sorrow, we may well
assume, has never known love ; since the
most precious affections of the soul arise
from sympathies at need—that are seldom
known till they are sought, and never
sought till they are felt necessary io soothe
an infirmity or satisfy a want.”
The same writer says f “Were it not for
the tears that fill our eyes, what an ocean
would flood our hearts! Were it not for
the clouds that shadow onr landscape, how
insolent would be our sunshine !”

When Charles Astor Bristed fought his
duel with the French marquis his dress dis
played “nary white,” not even shirt-collar,
wristband, or bosom—all was solemn and
undistinguishable black; while the French
man, as if in defiance, fluttered a white
handkerchief from his bosom, as a mark
for the American’s ball. But nobody was
hit or hurt.

HAIR RESTORATIVE.
How to Preserve Beauty. —Nothing is more
becoming to a man or woman, than a beautiful
and luxuriant head of hair, and a woman’s beau
ty is certainly incomplete without a fair complex
ion, and he or she who neglects these great and
important adornments of nature must expect to
suffer the mortification of premature baldness, and
a wrinkled face aud a sallow skin. Nothing is
necessary to preserve these essential attractions
but the use off Professor Wood’s Restorative.—
Louisville Times.
Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative —We have
had occasion to use this famous preparation of
Prof. Wood’B, and after thoroughly testing its
qualities, we find that where the hair is thin it will
ti icken it, if gray it will restore it to its original
color; likewise, it gives a glossy appearance, as
well as keeps the hair from Tailing off. This in

NEURALGIA.
A gentleman living in Philadelphia say 9: In
passing through Pittsburgh, some months since, I
purchased a bottle of‘Bcerhave‘s Holland Bitters.’
It relieved me so much, that on returning home,
I bought two more bottles from Dr. Hoyt which
completely cured me ol Neuralgia. I have re
commended the article to many of my old friends
and four or five of the number say it cured them.
I think my recommendation has done more for
its sale in Philadelphia than your advertising.”
