THE FLOOD.
Since the Harrison Freshet the rivers and
creeks throughout this part of the country have
not keen so much swollen. The Oconee at this
place has been nearly as high as during the
flood referred to, the bridges on the creeks have
been swept away, and for some days these were im
passable. The freshet from all accounts has
been quite extensive, and has doubtless produc
ed a large amount of damage. At Macon we
are informed some lives were lost, as well as j
other injury by the overflow of the Oemulgee
at that point. The river and the creeks at this

supposed, to join in this rather delicate and

Dr. Little—Sir: I have had much experience with

cheerfully slate that I have very rarely found it neces
sary to use anything else to relieve children from
worms in my practice. In dozens of ctses I have fuily
tested the medicine with entire success, and unhesita
tingly declare it is the best preparation I ever knew,
and tar in advance of anything of the kind offered. By
its freqnent use in familes, doubtless many bad, if not
fatal cases of worms might be pievenred.

We hope we shall hear no more croakings of)
i| 1? impoieocy of the laws of the Union, to ,
maintain the constitutional lights of the citizens (
of all sections north or south, even when more
formidably opposed than probably any law has j
tier been in this country. The wisdom o^
Cjngress, in its apprehension of the Union ol
the good men of every section to support the
Constitution and the laws, has been vindicated
Iv ii:e case before us. The eflect of this trial,
till be most salutary.
The ascertained fact, that the law will be i
promptly executed in Boston, will greatly lessen ;
the necessity for its exercise. It has been con- j
Btdercd par-excellence, the depot for all the i
tugitives who could get there. The fact has j
excited the purpose of attempting it. 1 his en- j
ergetic exercise oi the law, will dispel these il- ^
lusians, and tend to the quiet of both sections
cl the country. At till events the laws of the
country have been vindicated, and the compro-
tr.isecarried out in Boston, and this too with
out ihe necessity to tall in the arm of the gov
ernment, The test has been applied, aud the
result has been in favor of the peace and unity
of the country ; and we rejoice that it is so.
NO FALSE ISSUES.
The Augusta Constitutionalist announces the
; ct. with evident exhileration of spirit, that the
Adieus Banner assumes the right ol the I’ eder- '
a! Government to use force to compel back a .
seceedmg state. And it anticipates with gusto,
that tins will furnish an abundant theme j
for discussion during tlie approaching canvass |
id Georgia.
Wehaveseen very distinctly the great pur- .
pose of our opponents, to get away from the j
teal issue, and to make the contest turn upon j
anything else. The right of State Secession, I
his been the favorite topic, of our opponen's, j
by which to distract the public attention, and I
sw-rve it from the real issue before the country* |
For ourselves we have before announced our
determination and take this occasion to re-iter- !
»te it. that we wash our hands (at present) of all |
bise issues. We shall let them quietly sleep
unMl the real question before the country is set- j
bC. That issue is not whether the States !
lave >!rigifi cession—it is, shall Georgia |
8ece de lio n Hie Union ? This is the question j
fit the decision ol the people during the ap- j
Poaching Canvass. So far as the present is- j
sue is concerned, it matters not a pin’s po'mt j
whether the belief is or is not that a State has
;l,e Right, i! she chooses, to secede from the
Faiou. The real question is, do the people j
ctwose to dissolve the Union, and shall they
make the effort ? This is to be “the theme for j
’he amplest discussion during the approaching
Ca "vass in Georgia”—ibis is the only one which
ra d,cal|y divides the feeling of our people.—

Mr. Blair late of the Globe on hearing of Mr.
Benton’s sickness, called on him the other day.
He first met tlie ladies in the parlor, who told
him, that the Colonel was sick in bed. and that
the doctor had forbidden people to enter his
room. Mr. Blair thought that as an old friend
he enjoyed the privilege of seeing Mr. Benton
under all circumstances, and accordingly rushed
into his bed chamber. There he was appalled
to find Col Benton sitting in his bed, his face
covered with scales and scars. * What iu the.
name of Heaven, is the matter with you ?’ cried
Mr. Blair. ‘ Nothing, sir,’ replied Col. Ben

position. But her revilers know that she is ever
ready to resist oppression, and contend against
tyranny. She will not, on that account, how

From tlie Courier des Etats Unis we make an
abstract of the following somewhat remarkable
case :
“A rather singular circumstance has taken
place iu the Faubourg St. Antoine, in Paris.—
A Mrs.—, whose husband is a courier, an oc
cupation which frequently obliges him to a long
absence from home, had gone to await the pe
riod of her delivery at her mothers, who, still
young, was hcrsell near her lime. From mo

A DROP IN THE EYE.
Mrs. C. and Mrs. D. were once talking to
gether about their mutual frienl, Mrs. E-, of
whom it was beginning to be whispeted about
that she was falling into habits of intemperance.
Mrs. D. noticed that a little child of Mrs. C.’s
who wa9 present, was listening intentlv to the
conversation, and checked her as she was about
speaking of Mr9. E., by the significant remark,
“ Take care, little pitchers have long ears.”—
Mrs. C. took the hint, and intending to be very
safe and prudent, she said “They do say that
Mrs. E- sometimes has a drop in her eye, and
I am afraid it i9 so.” “Oh, there is no doubt
of it,” answered Mrs. D. The child heard it all,
and determined, on the very first opportunity
to make her own observatiou on the subject.—
So the next time Mrs. E. called to 9ee her
mother, the child stationed herself directly in
front of her, and fixed her eyes steadily on
her face, from which she never once removed
them, till at length the lady said, “my dear, why
do you stare so at me?” “Because,” answered
the child, “my mother and Mrs. D. said the
other day, you sometimes have a drop in your
eye, and I want to see if it is there now.” Of
course the lady rose in high indignation, and all
intercourse between the parties ceased.—Boston

generally so, no more children would be choked to

Curefor Bedbugs.—A bit of information inter
esting to tire landladies, boarders and all persons
aggrieved. Many persons complain of being
pestered by bedbugs—it is easy to avoid the
inconvenience. On going to bed, strip off your
shirt and cover yourself from head to loot with
boiled molasses. Let every part ol the body
be thickly covered with it. On coining to bite
you the hugs will stick fast in the molasses, and
you can kill them in the morning.
The Miser.—It is worthy of observation that
the Latin word for miserable has been applied
to designate an individual who possesses, but
cannot enjoy. And wall may he be called a
miser, for he is the meanest living creature.

Americus, April 1st, 1351. 5
Tlie sad intelligence having been communicated to
the Lodge, of the death of Brother James K. Daniel,
who departed this life in the city of Savannah, on the
26th ult., in the 34th year of his age, on motion of
Brother J no. VV. Fletcher, a Committee of five were
appointed to prepare a preamble and resolutions suit
ed to the melancholy occasion ; which duty having
been performed, the Committee offered the following,
which was adopted :
It is at all times a melancholy task to contemplate
the death of friends ; even though we know the cer
tain fate of mortality, we cling to those we love with a
constancy and tenacity which would seem to say, we
will dwell together and never bo separated. And
when death comes as the thunderbolt in our midst,
and strikes down in the vigor of manhood and field of
usefulness our neighbor, our friend, our brother, we
startle, as though it were not appointed “Unto men
once to die.” As it were but yesterday, our departed
brother was with us ; his voice was mingled with out
voices ; his counsel was ready and his support effi- j
cient: and even now we find it difficult to realise the

Sam Houston.—The New York Tribunes’
! ettv reporter gives an amusing account of a po
i litical ball got up a few nights ago, in honor o^
the hero of San Jacinto. ‘Nineteen feminines
and a baby ’ were upon the floor, the commit
tee of arrangement, consisting of thirty six per
sons, amongst whom, of course, was particu-
larly prominent, Mr. C. Edwards Lister, author
of “Sam Houston and his republic.” As the
dancing was about to commence one of the j

just in time to receive two little creatures who
wished to hasten into this world, and who prov

double accouchement, very naturally created
some confusion in the mind of the operator.—
Wishing to devote her first care to the moth
ers, she hastily placed both children in the only
cradle there was in the room, without tiie pie-
eaution of examining them sufficiently, to be
able to distinguish one from the other.
“ All being over, alter a short repose each
mother at the same moment 3sked to see her
child. Great was the embarrassment of the
midwife, who made known her perplexity. A
slight altercatiou ensued, when the matter was
left to be decided by lot. Two loto bails were
procured, placed in a bag, aud to the drawer
of (he higher number, was allotted the privi
lege of choosing- The law reqiyres that when

grown to manhood, they will hear of the scene
which took place at their birth, and each will
put to himself the question : Atn 1 the uncle or

A venerable assemblage.—Ga Thursday
last, a gentleman of this city invited all his sur
viving brothers and sisters, with 111• ir wives and
husbands, to dme with him. They all respond

of ooe sister. Seveoteeu iu all were present, and

evening last, had his pocket picked ol a silver
watch, he haviug fallen asleep during .the
night.
Victor Hugo, the celebrated French author,
has published nothing for several years, in con
sequence of a contract with his publisher, who
lained that a very serious mistake had been
committed in printing the cards giving the order
of dancing.” .
The managers had adopted as tiieir “order”
the same card used by the friends of General |
Cass, (on a recent occasion) but had directed
the printer to substitute Hou9toos name when
