THE lIAII.Y TIMES.
WEDNFSDAY OCTOBER 20.
Marriage Statistics m England-
The rife or decline of a nations prosperity i
marked by the iucroasc or diminution of marriages
solemnized from year to year, It has grown to
be an infallible test with tho e who have bestowed ;
time and attention upon the subject. Hence the
recent controversy in England in which learned
essays were penned to prove that she was retro
grading in greatness and tending towards social
depravity from a partial exhibition ol statistics ot
marriage vows.
The report, however, of the Registrar General
retire* the popular idea that there is a decrease o*
marriage contracts and wedding*
The stptistics exhibit an increase amoDg tho?e
m images solemnized by license over those sol
emnized by bans, and the infereuqg* is drawn that
the upper or middle classes are more given to mar
riage than the Tower.
An analysis of the figures, though apparently as
meaningless as a tableoflogarithms—giving the
ages ol contracting parties, proves another fact in
the history of marriages in England—that tfle
number of early marnge or marriages of minor?
hate increased over olhers in a gn-at ratio since
the year 1843. It thows that 5 per cent of all
men and 18 percent of all women married under
age.
Another deduction touching the progress of na
tional education is obtained from the table. The
contracting parties tign their names or in default
of ability make their marks. The comparison of
marks and signatures evidences the lact that the
“School-master is abroad,”
Tie Registrar-General in analysing the figures
reflects “a curious light on our social combina
tions.” Those who can write and are well edu
cated, intermarry with those who are illiterate and
cannot sign their names. The number of these
mairiages is large.
The classification of tne Register revrals anoth
er important feature in the history of marriages
—that tha marriages solemniz. and by bans and
confined to the lower classes indicate with bar
ometrical nicety tho standard of plenty or scar
city for the year. The price of wheat really mea
sured ihe matriages.
In times of the greatest prosperity tho number of
marriages by bans would be increased, acd dimin
ished greatly i.i times of adversity. From this
fact, we pay England the compliment, that her
poor men never propose in marriage without the
prospect of a competency to provide for a house
hold. America may well follow her example.
Southern Literary Organ and Review.
The first number ot the above periodical is on
our table. It is published at Memphis Tenn., and
is edited by Rev. Benjamin H. Capers. The first
article in the number before U3 is from the pen of
theeditor, on the subject of “Southern literature’’
and abounds in just and original thoughts and
many proofs of a fine discriminating faculty. The
Rev. P. P Neely, D D ,whose distinguished inerij
as a pulpit orator is yet fresh in the remembrance
of many of our readers, is also a contributor to
the specimen number. Under such auspices it
would seem almost superfluous to wish the enter
prise success. Jf it laii, it will but sharpen the
point of condemnation -already justly directed
against the Southern people, for the imperial pat
ronage they lavish upon Northern periodicals,
while they sutler our homo literature to languish
and die.

Special Correspondence of the Augusta Dispatch.
Trial of J. R Graves.
Nashville, Oct. lGth 1859#
The trial of Rev. J. R. Graves, alluded
11 in my last, came up at the First Baptist
Church on Tuesday, 12th inst. The church
was crowded, and great curiosity was man
ifested to hear the triai. After a number
of preliminary motions, the charges against
the accused were read, and when asked
whether lie admitted or denied the charges,
he responded—*‘l deny.”
* A motion to non-suit the charges, for in
formality, was earned, when Mr. Graves
was permitted to speak in his own defence.
He then read a protest against any further
proceedings until scriptural steps had been
taken to settle the difficulty. He urged
other reasons why the trial was premature,
—and stated tf at he was ready and willing j
to meet an investigation if it were made ac- J
cording to the New Testament.
The question was put after some discus- i
sion on the motion to remand the whole
proceedings on the ground cf informality, j
and last, —11 for remanding, and 98 for ira* i
mediate trial.
Mr. Graves, after a few remarks, stated
that he could not fellowship with the
Church any more, and announced his with
drawal.
The Modelator stated that Mr. Graves
himself had held that the only way to get
out of the Baptist Church washy death or
exclusion.
Mr. Graves claimed that when a Church
tramples upon the law of Christ, it becomes
a faction, and not a church.
On a motion to adjourn, the congregation
were requested to remain after adjournment,
and those who had voted against the imme
diate trial of Mr. Graves organized anoth
er meeting.—A paper was then read, which
claimed that the persons whose names were
appended constituted tho Fiist Baptist
j Church, and’hat the majority who voted
for sustaining the charges, were factionists.
This statement was signed by about 20
members of the First Baptist Church.
Mr. Graves then requested the body to
call a council of two ministers from each
Church in the association,to investigate the
j charges against him. The meeting then
adjourned to meet Sunday afternoon.
On the next day, those who were for
immediate trial proceeded with an examin
ation, and on the question, whether Mr.
Graves was guilty of the tirsj charge (as
published in my last letter) there was a
unanimous vote in the affirmative. The
investigation will be continued to-night.
Tho result of this investigation was the unani
mous finding of Mr. Graves guilty of the first
j charge of the series preferred against him, to wit:
“Bringing reproach and injury upon Rev. R. B. C,
Howell, pastor of the First Baptist Church, and
thus to destroy his character and influence in the
Southwest,” and the publication of “various false
and malicious misrepresentations-”
Business on the Railroads—lncreasing
Cotton Crop, and so on.
The subjoined comparative statement
| obtained from the books of the South-wes
tern Railroad Company, while it is a gold,
en exhibit for the Road, illustrates also the
rapidity will) which the crop is coming to
market. Due allowance should be made,
however, for the effect of the extension of
the road since last year.
Comparative statement of Cotton Trans
portation and receipts of Freight on the
South Western Railroad from Is/ Aug.
to 16th October, 1857 and 1858.

107,341.25 [38.911
Increase in 1858... 38,831.27 31,492
Showing an increase of 56 per cent, in
the gross earnings of the road, and" 424 per
cent, on the number of bales of cotton
transported. 1
The Macon & Western Road is also do
ing a heavy cotton freighting business, and
we heard their increase in receipts stated
to he now about 2000 bales per week. We
will make particular enquiry.
The Savannah Republican of recent date
says that the earnings of the Central Road
for September, were $157,726,19 against
$98,767,40 in September, 1857—and for
the first seven working days in October,
$51,995,59 against $31,970,27 for the cor
responding period last year. In Septem
ber, 1858, 28,005 bales cotton were recei
ved, against 6,127 in September, 1857; and
in lourteen working days in October, 40,283
bales of cotton had come over the Road.—
These figures show the combined effect of
an early fall—very favorable weather for
picking, and an anxious desire among plan
ters to push their cotton to market as early
as possible. The calculation among the
Railroad and Warehouse men is also for a
very heavy increase itt the cotton crop of
Georgia.
Punch on Printers.—How nice this be- j
ing a printer. A public servant, and we!
nigh the slave of the deviita good naturedl
fellow, must be killing polite on all occa
sions, especially to ladies, must always be
a dear duck of a man, always witty; always
dignified, must never do anything that
would not accord with the strictest sense
of propriety of the most precise old maid,
and must always be correct in what he says
and does; is always expected to know the
latest news, is styled muggins if he is not
always posted, must of course-please every
body, and certainly is supposed never to be
in need of the “one thing needful,” must
work for nothing, board yourself, must
trust everybody, and is thought a great
bore if should present his bill, must be
a ladder for all politicial aspirants to step
into office, who very soon become indepen
dent, don’t owe him anything, consider the
printer at best a sorry dog, who cannot ex
pect any better treatment than kicks, and
finally summing it up. he is expected to be
“a man without a model and without a
shadow.”

From tbe London Punch,
America in Hysterics.
Mr. Punch has great pleasure (at the
request of numerous American friends) in
devoting a portion of his invaluable space
to the immortalizing a few of the addresses
transmitted from the various Stales to New
York in honor of the Atlantic Cable. He
must remark, however,that in magnificence
of imagination and affluence of diction,
they scarcely equal, and they assuredly do
not transcend, the splendid effusions re
pubhshod in the Times newpaper from the
American journals, which record tbe cele
bration in question.
From the Governor of Connecticut
I salute ye. The deed is done. Anew
heart.string, forgotten at creation, has been
inserted into the world, and henceforth its
pulses will keep time to the flapping of the
wings of our almighty and inextinguisable
eagle. May the blood of freedom course
along that giant vein with the rush of Niag
ara, and sweep away before its mightiness
the moultfbriug cerements of antiquated
hallucination.
From the Governor of Missouri.
When the heart would speak in presence
of a miracle, the words are feeble; but our
souls rueh out in song; and we sing to you
brothers, in the strains ol our native and
inirndable land:
“London.it is very b ; g,
America ia bigger;
Do not lot us care a fig
Which cuts the better figure.
Send the current to and fro,
The bottle round the table,
Nothing increation.no,
Licks the Atlantic Cable.
From the Governor of Alabama .
; Haii Columbia, happy land! Now fast
linked to England’s sand, Let us join with
heart and hand. Ocean is repealed. To
her coral rocks and shelves. Lo the cable
dives and delves. Let us drink our noble
j selves. Likewise Cyrus Field.
From, the Governor of Ohio.
If England has given us no more towards
our great American sea triumph, she has
given us a thought in the name of her little
vessel which waited upon our giant fleet.
The Agamemuon’s name is a corruption of
Memnon, the ancient Hebrew warrior,
whose statue, on the plains of Tessaly,
ounded out one note when the morning
sun shone upon it. So now, when the sun
of enlightenment dawns from America upon
Occidental darkness, the electric ray flashes
from us to the Hibernian shore, may the
inexpressive slaves of feudalism for the first
time raise the music note of liberty.
From the Governor of New Hampshire.
Yankee Doodle used to ride
On a little pony,
Now he talks t’other aide
In twenty minutes on’y.
From the Governor of Deleumre.
The b’hoys must have their amusements,
and so we’ve tied England to a long string,
and we’ll fly her like an almighty great kite.
When we’re tired of the sport, and want to
be quit of it, we calculate we’ll just wind
her in, and hang her up on one of the mon
ster trees of our unfathomable forests.—
Guess we’ve utilized the tarnation old cau
tion at last; yes, se. ree.
From the Governor of Virginia.
“Ole Virginny never tire,
But dance on dis electric wire.
Clear de kitchen, &c.”
From the Governor of Pennsylvania.
Friend Field, thee have, according to
worthy evidence, done a part of thy task, and
it is well. When thee hast fastened both
ends of thy string, and the fixings, and hast
greatly and finely reduced the price of thy
messages, we may see cause for further
communication with thee. Meantime,friend
we wish thee success, but decline to burn
money in fireworks, melt it in strong li
quors. or waste it in wasting time upon idle !
demonstrations. Amen!
From the Governor of Louisiana.
“Two nations in two different ages, riz,
Stand prominently out ot the abyss,
One, England, a respectable old hoss,
And one, America, ot giant torce.
The power of Nature could no further go,
So made C. W. Field to join the two.”
This is all the room Mr. Punch can this
week spare to these remarkable productions,
and he will only add, that it does not ap
pear to him wonderful that under such
terrific pressure and strain of compliment,
the unfortunate cable, being of English
make and unused to hyperbole, gave way,
and sent down shares.from J 6915 to £250.
Earnings of the Central Railroad.—
The earnings of the Central Railroad for
Sept., 1858, were $157,726,19, against
$98,767,40 for Sept., 1857.
The earnings from Ist Oct. instant, to the
Bth inst. inclusive—seven working davs—
have been $51,995,49; against $31,970,27
for the same period last year.
The quantity of cotton brought into the
yard in this city in Sept. 1858. was 28,005
bales, against 5,127 bales in Sept. 1857’
The down freight from Ist to lGth Oct
fourteen working days—has been 40,283
bales of cotton; 5,042 barrels of flour; 8,319
sacks of flour; 21,348 bushels of wheat,
2,392 bushels of corn; 506 bales domestics;
28 boxes copper; besides considerable par
cels of dried fruit, hides &c. &c.
It is believed that the earnings for the
whole month of October, will be near if not
quite $200,000 against $99,070,55 in Oct.
1857.
In noticing the evidences of prosperity,
it is but due to the officers and men of the
Company that we should say a word of
commendation for the nerve and fidelity
with which they have stood to their post’s
and forwarded this immense amount of bus
iness during a season characterised by so
much sickness and still greater alarm.
Through it all they have manfully maintain
ed their ground, and faithfully performed
all their duties. Their conduct entitles
them to the gratitude of the Company and
to the praise of all.— Sav . Republican.
