Municipal Term of QSce.
Now that tho it in scaA'it,
the Oceanian in an opportune one for
calling attention to a’ subject of u All flic
importance M \his cocun unity. We
allude to Utfi lerffi of office of our Muni
cipal Authorities. tt»6 dottrlue of rf eo«‘
Ution in office” may be a very good one
in theory, bMMpjtbak tUt.it doe* pot
work well
office*, at leant. Frequent * popular
election* tend to demoralise a people, to
encourage eArruptuto, and to render
officials irresponsible and negligent ot
duty. Thiy; nawrtton, we apprehend,
needs no to enforce it, for it is
apparent to every-ene who has had any
experience in political affairs. Frequent
elections are also expensive, and alto
gether unnecessary,and should, therefore
be reduced as much possible. Thus,
wo have, in Augusts, every twelve
months, to debt 9t Mayor And •Council/
and they, in turn, dent their officers
every twelve months. The Mayor, by
reason of the uncertainty of the tenure
of his office, and the small salary which
he receives is necessarily compelled to
follow some business pandit, with which
his office sometimes in-coqjliet,
and which must, consequently, suffer by
his aUenttoo'-hobU office duties. Then
with the Citjj Council. As, soon as the
policy whiduthe^. inaugurated begins to
be develope<L they are displaced, ami a
new Council -edortnettces a riq*.policy,

the City. Wnaf js the•remeciyf An ex
tension of UdjUoraS-df iffiee, fihfi; with l
the Mayor, an increase of salary. We
suggest four yean as the Mayor’s term 91
offiee, and $3,000 per antnt th as Ms
salary; and we think, too, tint, the
Members should also receive a small
salary— say ‘sloo or S2OO per annum.
which would be some compensation for
the loss of tiraraih itftendlhjr to the pub
lic affairs of the City; aiid .for eonrat
tendance without sufficient
should be fined by Ctnfrtcit. ‘ This would
be but an increase of $2,000 or $3,000
per annum expenses,,anil,
would euable the Mayor and Council to
give their time and attention more freely
to the business of the City, it is requir
ing too much of gentlemen, to ask them
to neglect their own private business
affairs for the benefit of the pnbtic; and
we can see no good reason,.why a Mem.
ber of Council 1 should not be paid
for bis public services as well as a
Member of Congress, or a Member of a
State Legislature.
We might elaborate these views still
further; but we simply desire to-call the,
attention of our people and our Legisla
tors to the subject; and to suggest that
the present Council, at its next regular
meeting, take some action in the prem
ises.
Okefi.vocau Swamp. —A Bill being
before the Legislature to donate this
Swamp to the Orphan’s Home, some
account of it may not be altogether un
interesting. We, therefore, append the
following from White’s ‘’Statistics of the
State of Georgia
Swamp. —Okefinooau, formerly called
by the Indians Ec«ua-4 iiA-eun, 1 feoni
Ecuntiau, earth, and fiuocau, quivertVig.
The first was the most common among
the Creeks, from Ooka, a Choctaw word
for water, and Ciiiodau, quivering ; 1 a

name. It is about thirty' riilles long,

the most blissful spots' in the wyrld
that it was inhabited by a peculiar race
of Indians, whose women were incom
parably beautiful) that this place had
been seen by some of their, huujers
when in pursuit ot game, who, being
lost in inextricaWis 'swamps and bogs,
and on the point of perishing, were un
expectedly bf p Icojnpauy of
beautiful women, whom they called
daughters of the sun, who kindly gave
them such provisions , they had,
chiefly fruit, orangeh.-'kkUfes, fet<v and
then enjoined them to fly for safety to
their own country, as their husbands
were fierce men,' arid cruel ,
They also stat^.hlptt had
a view of their settlements, situated on
the elevated hanks df an island or
promontory, in
that in their efforts tpapproaoh it they
were involved in perpetual
anand, like
imagined they had just gained it, it
seemed to fly before them, alternately
appearing and disappearing.! They’re
' solved, at length, to leave the delusive
pursuit and to return, alpoji,, after a
number of incttpresiule difitculties, they
effected. When they reported their
adveutures to their countrymen, (hWr
young warriors were iuflaiiied with
a desire to invadU’"tid'd ccrtiqWr so
charmiug a country; butall their efforts
proved abortive, never being nhlo again
to find that enchanting- dpbt,' or even

A )) Publio Schools.
We publish, this morning, a comuiu
nlsatioti on the subject Puiiic
Schools, to which we ipviee oltentiow.
We believe that our cotveepondfnt does
the Legislature ittjhatiOa. in ftmrglug.
thpm with) parsimony. At any rate, we
hope that h* da« i for tbejiulyucl is tott
important, end the interests involved
too great, to jaetftV any fifit the most
fibhntl notion on the part of the General
Assembly, The people of the State wflT
not complain at any appropriation which
may be made for public. education, sud
will cheerfully pay the takes assessed to
meet such appropriation. Let the Le
gislature, therefore, act with liberality)
and adopt a System that will do credit
to the Stole and’eotnport with iu lugh
and deserved character as “the Empire
Bute of the State.”
If, however, the plan which- we have
hcrctbfcsc Suggested should be deemed
inexpedient, we commeud to the Legis
lature the suggestion of our correapon
deut as to an increase of the proposed
seiarioß; and repeat our own suggestioni
that the Trustees by appointed by the
Commissioners instead of elected by-Utie

Philosophy and Religion.
Mtt, EbiTon : One ot the most un
forfnuate mistakes made by mankind
ia this, that Philosophy and Religion
are antagonistic, and cannot l*e recon
ciled.
Physics end- Metaphysics—B ody and
Sirnl—havp been to some extent in all
agea considered entirely separate and
extinct, atid it ‘is not unusual to find
vast superstructures raised upon nothing.
Take, for instance, the first matbemat
cal definition—that of a paint—and you
have as clear a definition of nothing us
the mind conceive, ydt upon this
see what a : magnificent superstructure
has beeh raised ! A tiling which lias
no length, breadth, or thickness, as far as
the evidences of our senses are con
cerned, mast be a nonexistent; for
though leugth, breadth, and thickness
ouly indicate magnitude, yet if a mag
nitude is not an object of sensation, we
cannot perceive it, and perception is
essential to consciousness ; and accord
ing to the definition our minds refuse to
acknowledge the physical existence of a
mathematical point.
The metaphysical *xi*tenco of this
point, however, is quite another thing ;
the aabterfuge, that it is a quantity
without dimensions, a location of a
thing so »mall as to be imperceptible,
resorted to by Geometricians, is sheer
humbug, and does not save them from
the necessity of failing back on first
principles; and any intelligent carpen
ter, by the dexterous manipulation of
four pieces of colored wood, can de
moustrate the existence of one mathb
matical point, more clearly and with
fewer words; than was ever done by
Euclid, his heirs, executore, odminis
trators, or assigns. rj „i f j, j ,
86 is it -with arithmetic—you begin
by learning a boy to count one apple,
two apples—lone,marble, two marbles
rtiuS you address yptftfttlf to his instruc
tive covetousness- and unconsciously
perhaps, sow the seed for a rept-ehensi
ble development. But when you proceed
with ' the apples and the marbles you
soon come td a stopping placg, and. yonr
conviction slides off into abstractions not
verymach to the edification of the boy,
for fie never be able to appreciate
the: diffiareace between 12re:il and 12
aritlimetical apples or -mnrbles. The
ego and non pjo urC not Casfiy' kfterward

thus CdHy' biadc antagonistic arid fit j

Opinions of the Press, Clergy, Etc.
We wilt make a few short extracts from,
the many Testimonials tee have received from
time to time, unsolicited.
From Editors.
The New York Examiner, says:
Every mother and housekeeper must often
act as a family physician in the many ill
nesses and accidents that occur among chil
dren and servants. For many of these cases,
I have used Davis’ Pain Killer, and consider
it an indispensable article in the medicine
box. in diarrhoea, it has been’ used and
effected cures. For cuts and bruises, it is
invaluable.
The Editor of the Christian Advocate,
says:
It is a real pleasure to us to speak favorably
of this article, known almost universally to
be a good and safe remedy for burns and
other pains of the body. It is valuable uot
only for colds in the winter, but for various
summer oomplalnts, and should be in every
family.
A. D. Miller, Editor of Mceeenger, Glens
Falls, N. Y., says :
There is no medicine at the present day I
value so highly as Perry Davis’ Vegetable
Pain Killer. I have nsed it in my family
for years; in every instance it has proved a
sovereign remedy. I tested it* qualities
to-day on> a severe burn, and found it all
that could be desired.
Mr. John Jaeksqn, of the- Calais Adver
tiser, writes: ;
I know it to .be all it is recommended,
-having used it in my family six or sevott
years.
* The Salem Observer says:
No article of medieine ever attained to
au.eh unbounded popularity and oxtensiv.e
diffusion. It has penetrated to every part,
even the most remote, of the known world,
bearing with it its healing influences Snore
potent than tbpse of, the spices of “Araby
the blessed* We ate informed by our
principal druggists, that they sell more of
this article for exportation than of any or
all others, and that the demand is oonstanty
’increasing.
The Cincinnati Nonpareil, Nov. 4*, 1849,
says:
Some of oar most prominent citiiens and
business men strongly recompiend it to.the
public aa an article of great merit and virtue,
and that tjhdy never f new any' medicine to
become so deservedly popular in no abort a
time. ■ ~i'. .
From Clergyman.
Rev. J. C. Bnueaer says} 0r,.; .
I have used Perry Davis’ Pain Killer with
great success in cases of cholera infantum,
common bowel complaint, hrotrchlfas,
coughs, cqlda, etc., and would cheorfully
recommend it,as a valuable, family medicine.
Rev. J. G- Stearns, savs:
t consider it the best remedy I ever knew
•for dyspejuia. i
Rev. Edward X. Fuller says :
I have witnessed the beneficial effects of
your Pain Killer in cases of dysentery and
eholerq morbus, within a few months past,
and would cheerfully recommend its nse to
such as may be suffering from similar dis
eases. as a»Vc and effeeptal remedy. e
