EDITED AND H'BLISHCD WEEKLY, BY W n . It . HARRISO N . CITY P RIXT ER. [written for the SOUTHERN MUSEUM.j They h«T« left nit »11 alone ! BY YVM. P. HARRISON. In mv childhood in the wildwood, How I roamed the forest o'er, With my gun, till the sun Escaped the cottage door : Then returning, fairly burning With the burden of the day, With a hnre, and a pair Os pheasants for my prey. Then mv sire, by the tiro, would admire How 1 sought, how 1 fought, how I brought The welcome booty home. But a graceful weeping willow Is now growing o’er his pillow Beneath the silent tomb ; And his soul, in the goal Os the Christian 's hope forever, Oft replies, to rny sighs— Happy now ! And tny mother, and my brother, And my sisters, too, are fled : For they sleep in the deep, Among the silent dead. I remember, in December, When the wintry air was keen, That a pall seized them all : They never more were seen ! And a form, scarcely warm, thro'the storm, In the floor, by the door, shivering o'er, Gazed thoughtfully at me. In his hand with measured threading, With its branches gently spreading Arose a cypress tree, Where a name in a flame On each leaf and bough was written ; And a tongue shrilly rung— Far away ! My decision of the vision I have borne along through life, Till each leaf, filled with grief, Has withered in the strife. And in sorrow till to-morrow I am w aiting the command Os that voice to rejoice In Heaven’s blissful land. For the near, and the dear, and the fair, And the lay of the gay in my day Forever here are flown ; And my kindred, from the youthful To the prudent and the trpthful, Have left me all alone ! I have none, ’neath the sun, To lament me broken hearted : None to sigh, when 1 die— He is gone ! Nov. 16, 1840. [CORRESPONDENCE OK THE SOUTHERN MUSEUM.] Mkxedgeville, Nov. 12. 1849. The following Resolutions were simul taneously introduced hy Mr. Clayton in the Senate, and Mr. Gartiell in the House this morning, which were made the order of the day for to-morrow week. Whereas, the people of the non-slave holding States have commenced, and are now apparently persisting in a system of encroachments upon the Constitution and rights of a portion of tite people of this Confederacy, which is alike unjust and dangerous to the peace and perpetuity of our cherished Union—be it 1. Resolved, l>i/ the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in General Assembly convened, That the Gov ernment of the United States is one of limited powers, and cannot rightfully ex ercise any authority not conferred by the Constitution. 2. Resolved, That the Constitution grants no power to Congress to prohibit the introduction of slavery into any Terri tory belonging to the United States. 3. Resolved, That the several States of the Union acceded to the Confederacy upon terms of perfect equality, and that the rights, privileges and immunities se cured by the Constitution belong alike to the people of each State. 4. Resolved. That any and all Territory acquired by the United States, whether hy discoverey, conquest or purchase, belongs in common to the people of each State; and. thither the people of each and every State have a common light to migrate with any property they may possess, and any restriction upon this right which will operate in favor of the people of one sec-’ tion to the exclusion of thoso of another is unjust, oppressive and unwarranted hy the Constitution. 5. Resolved, That slaves are recognised by the Constitution as property, and that the Wilmot Proviso, whether applied to Oregon, California, New Mexico, or Terri tory hereafter to be acquired, is unconsti tutional, and should meet with the deter mined opposilion of the Southern people whose rights are thereby affected. 6. Resolved, That Congress has no pow er, either directly or indirectly, to interfere with the existence of slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia. 7. Resolved, That the refusal on the part of the nonslaveholding States to deliv er up fugitive slaves who-.have escaped in to such States, upon the demand being made therefor, is a plain and palpable vio lation of the letter of the Constitution and an intolerable outrage upon Southern rights. 8. Resolved, That, in the event of the passage of the Wilmot Proviso by Con gress, the abolition of slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia, or the continued refusal on the part of the non-slaveholding Stales to deliver up fugitive slaves, as provided for by the Constitution, it will become the immediate and imperative duty of the peo ple of this State to meet in Convention, to take into consideration the mode and mea ■uie of redress. 9. Resolved, That the people of Geor gia entertain an ardent feeling of devotion to the union of these States, and that noth ing short of a persistence in the present system of encroachment upon our rights by the non-slaveholding States, can induce us to contemplate the possibility ol a disso lution. 10. Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor, be requested to transmit copies of these resolutions to each of our Sena tors and Representatives in congress, to the Legislatures of the several States, and to the Presidentof the United States. Mr. Chisolm, reported a bill in the Sen ate to authorize the Central Railroad and Banking Company, the Macon & Western Railroad Company, and the South-western Railroad Company to unite their roads in one common Depot at or near the City of Macon. Mr. Nisbet, reported two hills, one to consolidate the claim laws of Georgia, and the other to authorize the South-western Railroad Company to construct their road through the Reserve at or near Macon, to construct Depots, &c. Mr. Jenkins, introduced a hill to appro priate mon»y for the improvement of the navigation of Coosa river. Mr. Harrison, introduced a bill to incor porate the Methodist Episcopal Churches in the City of Savannah. Mr. Howard—To authorize the Gover nor to subscribe in the name of the State for 500 shares of stock in the South-west ern Railroad. Mr. Ramsay—To authorize the Su preme Court to sit at Columbus instead of Talbotton and Americus. Mr. Riley—To instruct the Committee on the Penitentiary to report a bill for the removal of the Penitentiary from Mil ledgeville to Atlanta—and to reduce the number of Justices of the Inferor Court to one, and compensate him by fees, &c. Mr. Jones—To regulate freights and fare upon Railroads, and to direct the man ner to ascertain the same. The following hills passed the Senate : To alter the 9th section of the 3d Arti cle of the Constitution, (passed at the last session,) so as to allow the Legislature to declare what shall be a sufficient cause of divorce. To authorize the Magistrates of Savan. nah to reside and hold their offices and courts anywhere within the corporate lim its of that city—and to authorize them to appoint Constables, See. November 13. At 11 o’clock this morning both Houses convened in the Representative Hall and proceeded to the election of Judges, which resulted as follows : Judge Supreme Court. —Hiram Warner. Eastern Circuit. — Henry It, Jackson. Middle Circuit. —Ebenezer H.Starnes. Northern Circuit. —E. H. Baxter. Western Circuit. —James Jackson. Southern Circuit. —A. Y. Hansell,(W.) Chcrolccc Circuit. —John H. Lumpkin. Chattahoochee Circuit. —Alfred Iverson Flint Circuit. —James 11. Stark. Ocamulgec Circuit. —H. X. Johnson. Alexander Drysdale was elected J udge of the Court of Common Pleas and Oyer and Terminer for the city of Savannah. November 14. Both Houses of the Legislature, and the Supreme Court having adjourned over un til to-morrow, in order to attend the exer cises at Oglethorpe University, the attend ance was very luige and respectable. Af ter the conferring of degrees upon the graduating class thirteen in number, who acquitted themselves remarkably well, prizes were delivered to the successful contestors in the Sophomore declamation , by the Rev. E. P. Rogers of Augusta, ac companied by an eloquent and very ap propriate address. After which W. H. Crawford, Esq., addressed the Literary Societies, in a strong practical discourse on our great interests as a people—the'nat . ural advantages, resources, capabilities, and present condition and future prospects of our State, he contended should urge us forward to improve the great blessings which a kind Providence had so munifi cently bestowed upon us. The entire proceedings were highly creditable to all concerned, and reflect credit upon Ogle thorpe University, which already stands deservedly high amongst our literary in stitutions. November 15. The House met this morning at 10 o’- clock. Judge Jones of Paulding, introduced a hill repealing all laws preventing the free introduction of slaves info this State, which is under discussion at the time of closing this letter.

(tyThose in want of good DagucfrearJ like nesses of themselves are referred to the adver tisement of Mr- Wood, in another column. We have seen his specimens and think they are very fine. Give him a call and examine them. Terrible Explosion. — We learn by a Tele graphic dispatch from New Orleans that the steamboat Louisiana burst her boiler at the wharf in that city on Thursday evening last, just as she was leaving for St. Louis, by which accident one hundred and fifty persons were killed, and many others scalded and injured. Two other boats were landing their passengers at that point at the time, consequently there were many per sons present, some of whom were materially injured. The Louisiana is lost, and this sad disaster has carried sorrow tothe heartsofthous ands in that community and elsewhere. Latest krom Europe. —The steamer Amer ica has arrived bringing Liverpool dates to the 3d inst. A decline of Jd. per pound had taken place on the lower qualities of Cotton and the sales of the week amounted to 42,000 bales. Another Murder. —On Wednesday night last about half past 9 o'clock, a most wilful mur der was committed in this city by a man named Thomas Burge from Marion county, upon Rich ard Altman from Crawford. The former had load of cotton to market, and the lat ter had come to Macon for the purpose of haul ing goods—putting up at different yards. A dif ficulty occurred in theevening between Alt man and a negro belonging to Burge’s father, whom he accused ofhaving stolen a half dollar from him and threatened to whip him for it. The negro complained to Burge, who, in com pany with the negro, and two or three other men went to tile house in the yard in which Altman had gone to eat his supper, and told him to come out of the house and he would give him a whipping. Altman then stepped near the door, when Burge stabbed him in the right breast, inflicting a wound several inches long, which caused his instant death. Burge then went to his waggon, got a horse and fled before any ef forts could he made to arrest him. An Inquest was held over the body of the de ceased on Thursday, and a verdict rendered-in effect that the deceased came to his death hy a cutfroma knife inflicted hy Thomas Burge, on the evening of the 14th inst. A reward of two hundred dollars is offered for the apprehension of said Burge, who is repre sented as being about the ordinary size, rather active and good looking, with dark skin and hair, hazel eyes, and about 25 years of age. He has a father, wife and child living in Marion county. A ltman is said to have been of good disposi tion, about 20 years old, and has a mother, three brothers and two sisters living in Crawford county in this State. Father lUatlicw. Through the kindness of the State Temper ance Executive Committee, we have received a manuscript copy of the correspondence of Judge Lumpkin, President of the State Temperance Society, with Father Mathew. The length of the article, however, precludes its publication entire. We shall therefore give a brief state ment ofthe matter noticed in it, as it is due to the friends of Temperance in Georgia. It appears that the State Temperance Con vention, assembled in Marietta in June last, re quested Judge Lumpkin to invite Father Math ew to Georgia, as the guest of the Society. He did so, and received a favorable answer from Mr. M , who promised to specify the time of bia visit at a convenient season. Since that time,however, Judge L. was shown an article in which Father Mathew was charged by Garrison of Boston, with having published,in concert with the late Daniel O’Connell, a cir cular to the Irish residents in the U. States, ex horting them to join the Abolitionists in Amer ica. Judge Lumpkin wrote to Father Mathew immediately to know if the charge was true, and if so, if his mind had undergone any change in relation to the subject of slavery. He re plied that lie did sign such a document, and that his opinions were unchanged in respect thereto, but marked his answer to Judge L.'s inquiry, as private. Os course the letter could not be pub lished. On the 12th ultimo, Judge Lumpkin wrote to Father Mathew, requesting him to withdraw the injunction of secrecy upon his last letter. To this reasonable request no reply has been received, and therefore, the invation has been withdrawn. We have no doubt in the world, but tlict the prompt action of Judge Lumpkin will be en dorsed by every unprejudiced man in the Stale. The interests of Temperance would be blasted by the reception of an abolitionist as an associ ate and co-worker in the reform movement, and as sucli Father Mathew could not receive the welcome of any right minded man in the South ern States. The interests of slaveholders are paramount to ail others at this present time, and we must not shake the fraternal hand in our own midst with those who seek to destroy our rights and render our property worthless. By the late Northern papers we perceive that Fathew Mathew is on his way to the South. The manner of his reception, how ever—unless he explains himself satisfactorily on the sub ject of abolition, —is plainly indicated by the action of Judge Lumpkin. Elections. —The elections in Louisiana have resulted in the citoice of La Sere, Democrat, in the first district, and Conrad, Whig, in the se cond; W’alker, Democratic candidate for Gover nor is elected, by a small majority. Tlie Le gislature is Whig. Quitman, Democrat, has been elected Gov ernor of Mississippi by a large majority. Tlie Democrats claim tlie election of all four Con gressmen —being one gain. In Massachusetts Briggs lacks 1200 votes of being elected Governor, hut the Legislature be ing Whig, will elect him. Palfrey, free soiler. has been defeated for Congress by 3000 ma jority. No change in that district. The Destiny of Europe. The history of European politics for two, three, or four years past, has been scanned by the far seeing prophets of the United Slates, and nu merous predictions have been predicated upon it. The spirit of liberty, breathing freely and purely in our own country, awaited the first dawning of light in the Old World to proclaim the irrevocable mandate that Kings and Kingly powers have been overthrown. Alas! that we are compelled to say that Europe is not yet free ! Aye, that France, the grand mover of the ball of Liberty, now sits weary and palsied by the sickly efforts of her own misguided enthusiasm ! That which threemillions of population, poor, unskilled in »ar, and suffering from internal distractions have done, France, with her forty millions, a harmonious military force, and the example of America for her guide, has failed to accomplish. The people of France are not prepared for the privileges which they enjoy. Their noted activity and excitability have disqualified them from a thorough comprehension of the true na ture of Liberty. When the oppressed of her land first rose tip in opposition to tyrannic rule, even to the most credulous of the innovators, it appeared an exceedingly rash experiment ; and, indeedit failed—not by the treachery of anv one man, or body of men, but from the errors of popular power. When, less than twenty years since, the populace again demanded their free dom, they asked and obtained that which they knew not how to use : and, as a consequence, they gave it away to one who despised their tights and destroyed their privileges. Now-, she has the semblance of a Republic without the real advantages and enjoyments proceeding from such a state of existence. France is not free ! And why ? Because, when she ponder, cd over the entailed blessings of Liberty, she promised herself many things which it would be unreasonable to expect. In the fervor of a glowing imagination her starving peasants saw peace and plenty springing up around them as if by magic The laborer put aside his plough, and ceased to plant his grain ; for, said he, we shall be free ! —and then, in truth, I shall not have to toil for my daily bread! The manufac turer was forced to stop his factory': his hands were in a state of mutiny, demanding exorbitant prices, and even scorning then to accept em ploy ment, because Franco lias become a Repub lic! The merchants were in consternation; trade was destroyed; the confusion of clashing interest increased; every department of busi ness paralyzed,—and for what? France had proclaimed from the housetops of her hamlets, towns and cities, that she was free- and inde pendent, and what more does she desire ? Why, the people demand an extraordinary change in their circumstances; the poor must become rich; everybody must be wealthy ; every man must be a ruler, because all are equal I Alas ! that the wisdom of Lamartine should be con founded and eclipsed in this chaotic disorganiza tion ! But so it was; the first sentinel upon the ramparts, the man to whom should have been confided the government of the country which he had befriended and rescued from anarchy, was hooted from her councils, and the mosj dan gerous enemy of French Democracy hailed Pres sident of the Republic! If we mistake not, this imprudent step will not be savingly atoned fur, until France becomes in name, what she now is in reality, a Monarchy. We have thus extensively alluded to the po sition of France, because we believe that the destiny of the whole Continent is included in her Fate. Had she displayed the true charac ter of Republican institutions, the noble Kos suth would not now be at: exile from his coun try, and asking protection from the merciless hand of an unprincipled Emperor. Hungary, nerved to action by toe herursm of French in surgents, braved the Austrian and Russian for ces until France drew hack ; until Louis Na poleon offered to strengthen the hands of North ern warriors, and then she fell ! Turkey, at first offering the protection of a generous hospitality to the Hungarian refugees now threatens to deliver them up—fearing the combination of her powerful neighbors against her, provided they fail to shield her under the provisions of international treaty, by renouncing their religion, and becoming Mussalmen ! We fear that Liberty is yet far distant from the people of Monarchical Europe. The Mammoth Humbug. — We copy the fol lowing from the N. York Scientific American : “Thursday last week was general training day in our city. These scenes are always fool ish exhibitions to us All the good they perform is negative, hy delighting youngsters and making then, play the truant from school. The affair was very showy but nothing American about it. Some of the companies were without breeks and wore the kilts, like the Scots Guard in the Brit ish Army- Some were in the red coat array of other British regiments Some wore the Aus trian uniform, some the French, some the Ger man, some the Italian—and some were indescrib able. Their appearance was harlequin enough.” We are decidedly of the opinion, that the pre sent militia system is the Humbug King of our country, quack doctors, patent medicines, &c , not excepted. Anybody who has witnessed a Georgia Milrtia parade cannot doubt the fact that the system is the very quintessence of non sense and martial buffoonery. Time is lost, bu siness stopped, a man’s feet blistered, trudging about in the most admirable confusion with walking-sticks, corn-stalks, and other valuable fire-arms, for half a day ; and all for the comfort able reflection that you have made a fool cf yourself! We sincerely trust that the present Legislature will amend the militia laws of the State so as to make them more efficient. Cotton on Red River.— The Washington ( Ark.) Telegraph states that the whole amount of cotton shipped from above the raft this year will not leach 6000 bales. Last year over 25,- 000 bales were shipped. If the crop had not been destroyed by the overflow, the amount of cotton raised in the region above the raft would have reached 40,000 bales. (O’ The City Council of Savannah have ap pointed . hursday, 29th inst , a day of thanks giving for the mercies of the past year. Tlic Great Discovery. The thirst for something new and startling its nature is daily leading men of science and distinguished literary and philosophical attain, ments into the most ridiculous speculations s ~i theories. Indeed, modern “progress” j s ting so exceedingly avaricious as to grudge tl e smallest particle of information or common sens to any established custom or usage. When wish to make war upon u neighboring we must not descend to the exceedingly vu | ’ antique custom of raising nn army and sendin troops to the seat of war,—transporting th c * over terra firma —but we must get a great 4 a / loon, load it with bomb-shells, and deadly mis silcs, steer it right into the enemy’s couihk ■ stop it perpendicularly over their fortification,’ drop the bombs and blow them up! This ij’ proved and highly prac.icable plan of warfare costs a great deal less ilian any other, and savej a quantity of bloodshed and trouble. If a man wants to pay half an hour’s visit to a city a thousand miles off, lie must not go i nt |, e cars and the steamboals-it is too mdel, behind “the times’* to travel in such dull, ploddin. snail-paced, ancient conveyances,—he niustg°! into a fiying-car and make the trip in fifteen or twenty minutes. , It lias been discovered some time since that a man has no right to possess his own property it belongs to hi* neighbor—that there are no in diriduals in a community: every body j s rjj, people”—that there are no separate interests in society : every man’s rights belong to his nci«h. bor, etc. But it is reserved for Col. Du Coure t of France, to make the wonderful announce! ment, that all men once had tails ! The scien. tific gentleman does not venture to tell us how the unfortunate genus homo came to lose this desirable appendage, but it is to be inferred from his very reasonable arguments that Mr. £ S( , p explains the mystery, where he tells us that a certain ape had lost his tail in a steel trap—there, fore the present vulgar specimens of human ns. ture are the descendants of this cur tailed per sonage. The most reasonable i chtrcfore for this delightfully interesting hypothesis is, that ever) thing else lias got a tail except a man, and ergo, lie ought to have one, just to be in the fashion ! There is, however, a little reasonable conclusion to be drawn from the actions of this new-light physiologist—he lias set out on an ex. pedilion in order to find some of hj s tailed brethren, thousands of whom he asserts are now living in Africa: our readers will doubtless see in this Frenchman’s visit to his apish friends a verification of the old saying, “ birdsof a feather, flock together!” No matter how strong circumstantial evidence may be to prove Monboddo’s assertion, we,un like Col. Du Couret, and Alexander Dumas, have no particular inclination to claim relation ship witli these” tailed ’’ gentlemen. We,have, it is true, often heard it said of a man noted for voracity in enjoying creature comforts, that ho only lacked a tail to make him a hog ; and now, it may be relied upon, that difficulty will soon be removed, so we shall have a sicine-ocracy\n full blast before long. This improved stock of folks will doubtless be introduced among us, and tlie “ tail-ites will enjoy a universal celebrity in tlic “animal shows,*’ and wc may liavet sight at Du Couret with his kindred apes beini “stirred tip by a money-loving Jonathan for our especial gratification. The World’s Exhibition.— The Londt: I people are about to have a great exhibitionof I aits and industry, in which they propose to hie I represented every nation upon the globe. IV I clo Jonathan will assuredly have his finger:: I that pie, and he [will he apt to get the gieatr I portion of the j*>loo,ooo to he offered as prene I unis. Is A Divorce Lawh/L. — This >s a quesli:: ! of great importance, and one upon which a do I versity of opinions exists. The Supreme Court I ot Georgia lias decided that the divorce la#i* I unconstitutional, therefore the pointis settled so I far as we are concerned. The court which di-1 voiced Fierce M. Butler and Mrs. Francis I Knmble Butler gave them the liberty vo roar-1 ry agatn. This seems to be in direct oppesi'.iwß tothe plain declaration of the Savior, that who-H soever marvieth one divorced commilteth add I tery : so says a contemporary. The scripts#M say, “what God hath joined together, let# I man put asunder,” but is it not possible than I marriage ceremony may be performed accord:';! to the requisite form’s and requirement ofld*! law without having received the God? Men and women are fallible cream*! and are liable to be mis-matched, even alien 11 ! necessary precaution, and it is not to be ms - ! posed that the Giver of every good andpa^ l '! gift would ratify any agreement which w° bring evil consequences and misery ini’/ P or '! tion of the human race. But if divotces 9re ! allowed, it is argued, they will give occasion f» r H dissatisfaction and domestic feuds. \'I'° C,II H decide when Doctors disagree ? I Sf.minolf. Ambassadors.— The Mobile ister of the stli instant, says : “ Maj.
