European Movements.
\Vc copy the following article from the edito.
r , a | columns of the Mobile Herald & Tribune :
The teTegraph accounts of the steamer Euro
show that the continent is likely soon to be
j un ged into a general war. We believe France
will repudiate the interference in Roman affairs
ind that she will interpose in favorof Hungary.
\Ve hope so, for it would he a noble spectacle
to see the first 6 real Re P ubl ' p ®F Europe, with
all her warlike instincts and noble impulses,
wresting the sceptre from the hands of Austria,
n ow, as e'er, the headquarters of European ab
solutism. Such a movement would be in keep
mg with the gallant character and present posi
tion of France. It might lead to a speedy war,
but it would ultimately increase the Republican
fervor in Europe, and go far to give it a stability
which would throw down every despotic power
jn the world. The enemies of democracy are
wary, and in Europe have not lost one of their
nine lives. An intercepted letter of Metternich,
the Machiavelii of European politics, shows this,
and more, that there is a plan on foot to isolate
France entirely from the sympathies of the na- i
tions around her, and thus secure at once the
restoration of past abuses and ber return to the
old system. We hope she will light up a gene
ral war now, and pursue it until Austria and
the veil of the lethargic and sanctified abuses are
crushed under the avenging power of the peo
ple.
As the moving cause of this to-bc-lioped-for
revolution, Hungary will have no small share
of praise; and we are sure our readers feel a
deep sympathy in her and her gallant President,
Louis Kojsuth, of whose life we find the follow
ing interesting sketch in the Philadelphia Led
ger ;
“Louis Kossuth, the President of Hungary,
jest declared a sovereign and independent stale,
is described as one of the n.ost remarkable men
ofthe age. He lias certainly shown talents of
ihe most rare and extraordinary kind. Mot only
is lie an orator of thp most surprising power, but
he proves to be a statesman ofconsummnte fore
sight, and a chief, civil and military, both hold
and prudent. He was horn in a little village of
the north of Hungary, April 27, 1890, of a poor
but noble family, of Sclavonic origin. The ap
plication and talents of the son, found him
friends, who not only enabled him to finish his
st idies, but also conlinucd to assist him subse
quently. In 1835, when a strong opposition ex
isted against the Austrian government in the
Hungarian Diet, Kossuth was employed to con
d ict an opposition paper, and he learned ste
nography for the purpose of giving true reports
ofthe Diet, which had been discouraged by the
government, and issued them, with immense
labor, in manuscript, to escape the censorship
A great number of persons was employed to co
py, and the report was sent lithographed to eve.
ry part ofthe country. This extraordinary man
tier of proceeding surprised the government.—
Kossuth was subsequently secretly seized and
and confined in prison for three years. This
unjust imprisonment rendered him very popu
lar, and a year afterwards assuming the editor
ship of a paper published in Pestli, its circula
tion rose to 16,000 copies. Besides opposing the
Austrian government on general questions, it
brought to light many abuses of administration,
local and general, which, when known, sur
prised the people. It was very soon after its
establishment to be seen in the hand of almost
every peasant It did more, also, for the spread
and general use of the Hungarian language, than
all the laws of the Diet together. Germans and
Sclavonians who had formerly paid little atten
tion to that language, now learned it, to be able
to read a paper that excited so much the public
mind. The government, not being able to sup
press it, bribed the publisher to discharge him
from the editoiial control.
“He then turned his attention to founding sn
cteties for establishing and encouraging domes
tic manufactures, and for constructing public
roads, and in six months after the founding of
the‘protection societies’ by Kossuth, more than
halfofthe Hungarian people were pledged to
wear only articles of domestic manufacture, by
which they were rendered independent of Aus
tria for these necessary articles. In the Hunga
rian Diet which met at Presburg, Nov. 11,1847,
Kossuth was elected deputy from Pestli to the
lower house,in which he took front that moment
a leading part in the great and liberal reforms
that were going on in Hungary, and of which
the world at large seems to have known but little
He was at the head of the deputation, which,
the 16th March, demanded and obtained from
•he Emperor a seporate Ilungarain Ministry.—
From his time forth he was the soul of the Hun
garian Diet As dangers at and difficulty came
his influence increased. On the 11th of June
he became the finance minister. June 16ih btoke
out the war with the Servians.—August 25th
w 'th Croatia. Sept. 20th he was president of I
’■'a ministry. Sept 26 appears the “Imperial
Manifest." which produced the open rupture
between Hungary and Austria. At the head of
'be committee ofsafety, Kossuth now conducted
Hungarian affairs. His history since is that of
Hungary itself."

(UP We copy the following communication
from the Milledgeville Recorder of the 12th inst.
and we recommend it to the careful considera
tion of all those who may feel themselves inter
ested in the subject upon which it treats.
Railroad Connection of Macon and Angus*
ta, etc.
It seems that Macon is aruusittg herself from
her long sleep and inertion. Her name is by
some regarded as proof of her Rip Van Winkle
descent; and they have not therefore been sur
prised at her wasting her energies hitherto in a
petty contest for the Seat of the Stale Govern
ment, and by necessary consequence, for that
delectable appendage, the State Penitentiary.—
I am glad she no longer sleeps, and that she has
dashed the. poppies from her eyes. It is well
for her future prospects that her counsels and
action are no longer conrrolled by the interests
of a few pursuits, which only are henefitted by
being near the Legislature. Asa true friend to
this beautiful and great interior city, I am re
joiced to see her taking her destiny into her own
hands, and out of the scheming and selfish man
agement of the few, who would use her great in
terests in the advancement of their individual
ends. The recent movement made with such
unanimity towards opening the communication
by a direct route, if practicable, with Augusta,
is a wise one. She is too great now in import
ance to have her fate inseparably linked to the
cars of the Central Railroad, and the polit y and
interests of the Stockholders of the corporation—
to submit longer to such guardianship—rather
slavery—will be to doom Macon to perpetual
minority and pupilage—the condition of idiotey.
Let not this young giantess, as yet in her mere
carlilege, with such bright promise for the fuj
ture before her, if she he true to her strength,
allow herself to be crippled any longer by the
Chinese shoes of any Railroad company.
The very centre of the most magnificent com
bination in the United States, of railroad con
nection completed and in progress, she needs
but the direct communication referred to, to do
everything for her people which the wise and
far-seeing sagacity can do, or ought to be ex
pected to do. Macon must ever remain the
great Cotton market of Georgia. That trade is
destined to a large increase, through the instru
mentality of the Southwestern Railroad. Her
merchants must and will continue, in spite of
every attempt, in any and every form, or at any
place or places, to be the buyers of this great
staple. The capital with which it is bought
must go to Macon lor investment ; indeed it is
there and there only the staple can be bought, and
the consequence is inevitable that Charleston
and Savannah will be found with their banking
facilities in Macon, smuggling in generous com
petition, and thus benefitting the great agricul
tural class for this rich trade.
1 know many men of good mind, and pure in
tentions, apprehend, that if all Ihe railroads aro
united at Macon, without any break whatever,
that the cotton and produce brought on the roads
will pass right on, without stoppage, to Augus
ta and Savannah. I think this a very idle fear,
for nothing is clearer than that men will pursue
their interes s—the planter takes the best mar
ket. Now until these alarmists cun demonstrate
that a planter can save money by forwarding his
cotton to Augusta and Savannah, there to be
sold by liis fictor, or going along with his crop
and selling it himself, 1 take it he will sell it in
Macon. A little cyphering in the four first rules
of arithmetic, will soon convince him that his
trip, loss of time, trouble, care, &c., have met
with no return. His aggregate has not been in
creased a cent.
1 know this has been the experience of many
farmers. He who Ims tried the experiment
once, and figured up the matter accurately, wil|
not, if he has any prudence, try it a second
time. I contend, therefore, that Macon is, anJ
must ever be, the best market for the planter to
sell in, and it is far the best for him to buy his
groceries in.
There is a reason for the connection of the
roads at Macon which should not be overlooked.
The public demand that there shall be no tax
upon them in going to market for the benefit of
drays and omnibuses. They have said it by
law, and they will amend that law so as to
make it efficacious.
I hope the good people of Macon will at once
turn to good account the sale to the companies of
a common depot, &c. If they wait the action
of the next Legislature, they will be reduced to
the necessity of stipulating with the companies
to come through the city without any equivalent
being offered, or permitted to he exacted. And
mark it, too, the law can be so framed as to slain
all legal difficulties—violations of chartered or
vested rights.
If these connexions take place and the South-
Western Railroad (the great enterprise of the
day) be extended to Warrenton, or Double Wells,
or Union Point, through Baldwin—a glance at
the map of Georgia must satisfy the most scepti
cal that the large daily mail, the travel from the
South and Southwest, as also a very large por.
tion of the cotton bought in Macon, must from
necessity be forwarded by the buyer there to a
market other than Savannah, and over the con
templated road.
1 he stock of no Railroad South of Baltimore
does or can pay such heavy dividends as that
road will pay. It is not difficult to demonstrate
that it must most probably pay annually a nett
profit exceeding twelve per cent ; and|it is easier
of demonstration still to show that no road—as
suming that the South Western Railroad is to be
completed—can be projected which can divert
the mail, or travel, or freights from this, and
that the proposed connection shortens the dis
tance to the traveller so greatly as to preclude
the idea ofcompetition.
Jones, Baldwin, Hancock, Putnam,and War
ren arc directly interested in this connection.—
On the east, Augusta and Charleston open their
markets and invite the merchant and planter to
give them a call. Southwestern Georgia stands
at the back of Macon, and is pushing her on in
the true path of prosperity. She must succeed
if she does not relapse back into sleep, and take
any morn long naps in which her senses indulge
in the very pleasant reverie of the public pap
being bountifully distributed amongst her tav
erns, and press, and omnibus owners, and
punch shops and at cetera*.

RELIGIOUS MEDITATIONS—NO. V.
“SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MCNDI.”
What insignificant beings are the fallen heirs
of misery and sin ! How contemptible must
they appear in the sight of Immaculate Justice !
A little crawling insect, covered with dirt and
mire, puffing himself up to the dimensions of
greatness, and measuring strength with the ma
jesty of Heaven ! A drawling snail, besmeared
with the slime of iniquity, and carrying his
couch of death upon his back, praisirg his own
comeliness—praising the beauty and graceful
ness of his own person—swaggering about in
empty pomp, and bragging of wealth, when he
cannot lay claim to anything more than a few
mouldering hones, and a little heap of withering
flesh. Man is the creature of a moment—a short
span ofTinre marks his birth and burial. From
nothing, he springs upon the revolving wheel
of life—in an instant, the revolution is past, and
he flies off again : he is known while whirling
with his fellow-passengers, but forgotten when
he takes the final leap. To-day the butterfly
belle gazes fondly in the glass of worldly admi
ration : to-monow she looks into the grave and
shudders. Yesterday the man of honor strutted
proudly through our streets—his uniform of
gaudy colors glittered in the sun-light: to-day
the body worms hold a banquet over his corrupt
ed remains. Last week a ruddy youth was pla
cing his hand upon a sparklingglass—the gentle
surface ofthe wine bore the noiseless tread of
dancing demons they held a council on its fie
ry brim, and shouted in their devilish mirth and
glee, while he surveyed the contents of the
bowl, and a feverish smile played around his
purple lip, and chased the healthless flushes
from his reddening cheeks; his sunken eyes
gloated over the approaching joy, as his unstea
dy hand lifted up the pleasing draught. Yester
day a mournful their steps to the
chamber of the grave : and paid their hollovv
respects to him in his new home.
There was a ball last night. Wit and beauty
were there—and the one played a merry tune
while the other danced : the first broke the jest
whilst the otln r laughed. Folly was there, and
kissed the cheek of each one at the entrance
door; she placed hei ring upon the lily hand :
the lady smiled, and pressed the treasure to her
lips; again, the donor slipped the magic circle
on the finger of the white gloved hand, and
whispered a sentence in his willing ear; the
gentleman uttered a hearty shout of approbation,
and laid the. token on his heart. Reason sat at
the outer gate, and mourned ir^psilence; she
looked into the busy crowd, but met no friendly
eye. Coquetry was constantly engaged—she
prompted now the captivating smilp, and then
the scornful glance. Modesty sat in rags, and
as the time progressed, and the wine disappear
ed, she bid adieu to the company, and retired
for the night. Beauty lent her upper garment to
the freckled face, and unwieldy form—while
valor leased a few gilded buttons, and showy
epaulettes to the quivering heart, and unmanly
breast. But there was another visitor. He had
left his palace while the votaries of common
sense were quietly slumbering in their beds; he
wandered up and down, until he saw the lights
beaming from the ball-room. He spoke to Rea
son at the gate, and wondered why she did not
enter ; but soon he saw the guests, and pre
pared his weapons of offense : and he wandered
unseen and unheard through tho capricious
throng, fixing his arrows in the hearts of youth
and gaiety. The crowd dispersed, but this mor
ning the physician had a severe struggle with
last night’s visitor, for a fair young form—hut
she now lies cold and spiritless, beneath the iev
hand of Death.
I knew a man twelve months ago, just in the
ptime of life, fresh from the classic groves of
the Literary Institution—he bore the fairest lau
rel on his manly urow, and wore ins honors
with the modest grace of talent. He was the
target for the sparkling eyes of blooming beau
ties, and the centre of attraction for the delight,
ed concourse of the learned and the intelligent,
as well ns the object of envy for the less success
ful. He placed his eagle eye upon the pinnacle
of honor, and filled his bounding soul with the
aspirations of the future. But while he fixed his
eyes upon the top of the temple, he dreamed
not of the dangers on the way—and now the
destroyers of his body work unceasingly upon
his lifeless limbs, as if the marble monument
above the ground, did not tell of the glorious
chaplets which the sleeper won.
A little while ago, a fair young lady was ar
rayed in her bridal costume. There she sat in
al! the bloom of health ; her friends heaping
praises on her worthy head—the cup of joy and
gladness was filled to the brim ; but a grain of
wormwood fell into the chalice, and the sweet
draught became a bitter mixture. The buoyant
bride was changed into the pallid patient—the
hall of mirth and p'easure became the chamber
ofmourninganddisea.se; and the bud of pro.
mise was removed from the altar to the narrow
(muse of clay, and left to bloom in silence and
decay.
And lam dying. I saw a moment ago, an
oak of many winters fall. But in its fall, it root
ed up a young and growing sapling. To-day, I
find my body stronger, my frame more erect,
my mind less obscured, than they have ever
been before—but these may be but the heralds
of a rppid decline to-morrow. With me the 1
wealth of kingdoms is nothing : with sandals of
gold, garments of rubies, and chaplets of dia
monds, I may live in penury and want. To me
the ranks and titles of the bubble, honor, pre
sent no fascinating view : the kings of the earth
may pay me homage, the wise men of the uni
verse may exhaust the use of language in my
praise, and nations may sit enchained at the
movement of my lips, and yet my heart may be
void of contentment, far from satisfaction, and
sickened with myself. For me the pleasure of
l he world has no solid charm—all the enjoy
ment that wealth can buy, or fame entitle me
to, cannot make me happy. No! like the wea
ry dove of ancient times, my restless Soul re
turns to the Ark of God, and there I find—in
the promises of the Gospel—more wealth than
a million of worlds oan produce ; more fame
than the isolated sovereign of ten thousand
kingdoms could possess ; and all the pleasure
that my soul can bear “There is nothing true
but Heaven " ZAO, i

FLATTERING PROSPECTS.
We are happy to state that our “New Female
Institute” is nowin a prosperous and flourishing
condition. The exercises of this Institution
were commenced on the 2d of October last, un- i
der very discouraging circumstances; but it has
gained celebrity with almost incredible celerity, j
and our most sanguine expectations have been
more than fully realized. This Institution
closed its 3d quarter on the Ist inst., with up
wards of seventy pupils, whose ages average be
tween nine and sizttin. The most of these girls
bid fair to become ladies of real moral and intel
lectual worth. Macon may well boast of her gi
ant strides in “Internal lmprovemenss," when
Science constitutes the substratum of all her
projects. Female Education is the grand lever,
in the hands of our mighty Republic, by which
the world is to he raised from the mysticism and
embarrassments of error,and elevated to its true
and native dignity. It is the potent arm that
controls the elective franchise, where crouches
the destiny of our nation, and where clusters
the brightest hopes ©four moral, intellectual
and national glory. Fellow citizenst this is
emphatically your Institution. It has been
planted by your hands—it has been built by your
■purses. It is a part and parcel of your own pri
vate and individual property. It is, strictly
speaking, a benevolent Institution, being alike
accessible to the rich and to the poor. It throws
her fostering arms around the family circle of
helpless orphanage—stuunches the streaming
grief ol the widowed heart, and takes from the
haunts of ignorance and error, those Intent
sparks which ere long shall glisten with increa
sing lustre amid the dazzling rays of tho intel
lectual world. Then foster, with jealous care,
your institution. To yaw, and to you alone, site
looks for support. It is for you to paint her fu
ture character, and write her subsequent histo
ry. It is your prerogative to say whether she
shall soar upon the pinions of fame to the cloud
capped towers of intellectual glory, thence to
diffuses moral influence throughout the length
and breadth of our growing State, or broken
hearted and faint to lower her colors, furl her
banner and sink into the dust “unwept, unknell
ed, uncoffined and unknown.”

The general health enjoyed by the citizens of
Macon is, probably, without a parallel in any
community of its size in the Union. To insure
this blessing, a general state of cleanliness du
ring the summer months should be rigorously
enforced. The Aldermen of the city are here
by called upon to report the names of two citi
zens for each square in the city, whose duty it
shall be to co-operate with the Aldermen and
Board of Health, to examine, at least once a
week, until the 10th of October, all yards and
cellars, and to require the instant removal from
the city of all nuisances and filth calculated to
engender disease Occupants of houses are
called upon to cause their premises to be thor
oughly cleansed and ventilated ; and it is farther
suggested, that the yards and cellars having
been cleansed, should be sprinkled with lime or
some other disinfecting agent. Those who are
aware ofthe existence of nuisances of any kind,
likely to become dangerous to the health of (lie
I city, should lose no time in reporting the same
to the Mayor. Proper vigilance will be exer
cised by the city authorities for the removal of
all such annoyances. A supply of lime and
chloride oflime will be furnished free of charge,
by the city authorities, to those who are unable
to buy, on application at this office. The fines
imposed by law for neglect in cleansing yards
will in all cases be enforced, when reported to
thisoffico. GEORGE M LOGAN,
