Oxford, Ga., July 22,1853. Oxford is emphatically a village in ambush. The Faiences, which are generally neat and spacious, scattered over an area of a mile or more in ex t: thus affording ample elbow and breathing r m, and allowing to almost every resident, a min- . ire farm for the cultivation of peas as well as phi- • fhy. So entirely sequestered are the inhabitants in their dense classic groves, which nature with cj iracteristic munificence has furnished them with- f u charge, that it is with some difficulty they are wal, or more properly speaking their homes ; for is no place have I witnessed and experienced a ®?rc- prompt and cordial meeting and greeting of i ts than at Oxford. Without doubt, the high cird tone of society here, the pure air and water, tie delightful seclusion and quietude of the place, combine to render it a most desirable location ' the culture of the classics, and the education of foang men. 1 lid not reach here until Monday evening, and therefore was not present at the dedication of the xiv College Chapel. The commencement and '-"'iieaiion sermon was delivered by the venerable Bishop Capers. His text was taken from the 87th halm: “ The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than 4 1 the dwellings of Jacob, Sfc. The discourse of this justly esteemed and popular 1 me, I am informed, was eminently appropriate t- the occasion, and was listened to by a deeply ; '.crested and impressed auditory. Tbe Rev. Dr. Evict Pierce; “the old man eloquent,” preached, ' am informed, a very profound and able discourse, 03 Sabbath afternoon. I regret to say that the health, of this venerable minister is quite feeble. The Sophomore prize declamation took place on Ti'day night, and the 1st prize was awarded to Thos. H. Muse of S. C. The 2d to John Rylander, Jhicon, Ga. The prizes were presented in a very “ aeand eloquent address on Wednesday, by Prof. T M. Smith. It is a pity this address should not rive occupied a place in the programme, where “-'•’■cal merits would have been better appreciated. The Junior Exhibition on Tuesday morning was “highly creditable one. Tuesday afternoon, an address was delivered ■' ^resident Pierce. His theme was Emory Col- - —its rise and progress—its past struggles— f -sent embarrassments and future prospects, and general interests of education in our State. It ' ,as every respect a most able aud eloquent vin- " a ‘*on of liberal learning ; exhibiting its salutary 1 ' ts upon all tbe great pursuits and achievements this stirring and progressive age, and clearly de- . ‘ titrating the necessity of diffusing tnrough the 'i politic and rc-ligious, as a conservative elc- nt > against the encroachments of a lawless and •‘pant progressive spirit, sound, practical knowl- :e - That riie effort was successful, was demon- ; r *ted by tp c p ronl pt contribution of 2,500 dol- ‘ -to liquidate the debt upon the new Chapel, I am happy to say is growing beautifully ' Ss >and should long since have been extinguished, Ta the evening a very chaste and interesting ad- 3S was delivered before the Alumni of tlie Col- Ef?e > by Mr. II. R. Harris. Ihe new College Chapel, presents quite an im ;' ,<ln g appearance. The style of its architecture is J ,ric - It is 135 feet long, by 75 feet wide, and r,,!a the base to the top of the cupola, 107 feet high. - the first story, there are six recitation rooms, be- ‘wo rooms used for the chemical labaratory •' puilosophical apparatus. The Chapel proper, ■tithe second story, and 90 feet long by 75 wide, : -h a gallery on three sides. On the same floor' and back of the Chapel are two rooms each 45 by Jo feet, one containing the library, the other the museum. Above these are two more rooms of the same size. The entire cost of this large and hand some edifice, is $15,000. Besides this main build ing there are four others occupied as dormitories; also two elegant brick halls, the one the property of the Few, and the other of the Phi Gamma So- cicty-. The Chapel is cf brick, rough-cast. In front of the Chapel, stands securely enclosed, a tasteful monument commemorative of the founder of Emory College—Rev. Dr. Few. \V ednesday was commencement day. and tlie crowd large. Tlie speeches of the young gentlemen of the graduating class were generally good and well delivered. They were, with but few exceptions, too long, however. This was also true of the Junior and Sophomore Reclaimers. When will speakers learn that ‘‘brevity is the soul of wit ?” The Baccalaureate Address was brief, appropriate, practical, impressive. Long may it be remember ed, by the graduating class. On Wednesday afternoon the Literary Societies were addressed by the Hon. Robert Toombs. Al though the distinguished speaker was laboring un der indisposition, and was interrupted by a storm, he nevertheless enchained, with his impressive elo quence, a very large audience, for an hour aud a half or more. I understand, his able speech will be published. The exercises were agreeably enlivened at inter vals by excellent music, from your “ Milledgeville Brass Band.” Thus closed the exercises of this interesting liter- ary festival—leaving upon the minds of the numer ous spectators, a very favorable impression, relative to the meritorious character of Emory College. I am told that some few thought the young men in their speeches paid too high and frequent trib ute to the memory, character, and worth of Daniel Webster. This, I presume, was quite incidental. He was, however, referred to by them uniformly, not as a mere politician or statesman, but as a man of gigantic mind and vast intellectual resources.— I trust the names of Clay, Calhoun and Webster will always be fondly cherished by the American heart, and uttered with respect by American lips. But I must close. Below you will find a pro gramme of the Exercises on commencement day. k. F- S.—Professor Means, I regret to learn, has re signed liis post, and Professor Darby of Culloden has been selected to supply his place. Dr. Means has been associated with the Institution in all its past plans and struggles, and the grateful recollec tions and kind wishes of numerous friends, will fol' low him in his regretted retirement. The Trustees, however, are very fortunate in the selection of his successor. Since writing the foregoing, I learn that Dr. Means has been elected President of the Masonic Female College at Covington, a post for which he is admirably qualified. K.

I wrote you last from Oxford, a place abounding with attractions, and from which I reluctantly tore myself away. Having a few days of leisure, I look ed in upon Athens, and spent a very pleasant but somewhat laborious Sabbath with its intelligent and hospitable citizens. The number of visitors to this and other towns in upper Georgia, is unusually small, I learn, this season—nevertheless, Athens looks quite prosperous and its business and popula tion are steadily increasing. A large crowd is ex pected to attend the Commencement next week, and preparations are being made accordingly. I regret that my engagements will not permit my at tendance. I had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Church, the venerable and cherished President of the State University, and regretted to learn from him that his health is somewhat impaired. Long has lie been associated with the great interests of liberal learning—long may he yet live to see the glorious fruits of his labors and those of his worthy coadjutors iu this good cause. I arrived at this charming village on Monday, and found quite a number of visitors from different parts of this and other States in attendance upon the examination of the students attached to the Madison Female College. This Institution, you are aware, is under the patronage of the Methodist Church, and is in a very flourishing condition. The President, the Rev. L. L Witticli, by liis eminent qualifications and untiring assiduity, in association with other “worthy and well qualified” gentlemen, has established it upon an enlightened and enlarg ed, nn d I doubt not, permanently prosperous basis. Although Mr. Wittich’s health is precarious, his valuable supervision will be continued to the insti tution. Tlie Commencement Exercises, including the Concert, were throughout highly satisfactory and entertaining, and numerously attended. The ser mon cf Dr. L. Pierce on Sabbath morning, I am informed, was able and appropriate. An eloquent discourse was preached by Dr. Means at night. Mr. Hull's Address on Thursday was quite chaste and eloquent; indeed,it was redolent with tlie flowers of rhetoric, and by no means devoid of sound prac tical argument and reasoning. I could not en dorse, however, all the positions of the worthy ora tor, upon the subject of female education. But I must have a care what I say, lest I tread upon un constitutional ground. By the way, you have doubtless seen the childish and ungentlemanly at. t a ck of the Augusta Constitutionalist upon me, be cause I could not endorse all tlie views uttered by Judge Johnson in liis address at Macon. Now, what are tlie facts in the case ? Mr. Johnson de livered a public address, before a large and promis cuous assembly, in which he took occasion to pre sent some of the peculiar ideas or views embraced bySwedenborgians. On this account, I felt it to be my duty as well as my prerogative, to call m question tbe appropriateness of the occasion, for the dissemination of such sentiments. I did not say that Swedenborgian doctrines were right or .vrong. I made no attack upon the private chai- aeter of Mr. Johnson. I have never urged that his religious views dis qualify him for the high office to which he aspires. I alluded to his address in my letter from Macon, and in my note from Kingston, in the most respect ful terms. Had a Methodist, Baptist or one attached to anv other religious denomination, selected a sim ilar occasion for the diffusion of sectarian tenets, it would have been deemed highly inappropriate and distasteful, by every unprejudiced mind. there- ore I noticed the address at all, I had to do it n\ ith ome qualification. I most cheerfully join the Con- fiitu.ionahsl in the wish that the whole address may be published, now that it has so wantonly and dis courteously assailed me for exercising a privilege never before denied a public journalist. A learned gentleman on the platform noted down 1 believe several sentences, which if necessary I presume, can be produced in proof of the accuracy of my impressions. But let Mr. Jolinson furnish the ori ginal manuscript and it will be published in the Re corder entire. If therefore theology is mingled in the present political canvass the responsibility rests not upon your correspondent, but his assailants. Madison Female College. The undersigned; attending the Commencement Exercises of the Madison Female College, as a Board of Y i-itors, take pleasure in presenting the following statement to the public, as the result of their enquiries and observations : This Institution is located in one of tlie most ac cessible and beautiful villages at the South. For intelligence, morality and refinement, the Society • of Madison, is probably not surpassed by that of | any other community in our State. The College edifice is a large and handsome | building, three stories high, and its lecture and re- j citation rooms and chapel are spacious and airy, * 1 * * * * * and admirably arranged for convenience and com fort. The institution is furnished with a superior set of Philosophical and Chemical Instruments, for experimental illustrations iu these departments of. Natural Science. In the Musical Department there is a liberal sup- J ply of excellent instruments, and instruction is giv-il en on the Piano, Harp, Guitar and Yriolin. Although this Institution is yet in its infancy, i’.^ has already secured and shared an amount of pub-J lie confidence and favor, most gratifying to its pro-f jectors and friends, and well calculated to inspire t the. most sanguine hopes in regard to its future en-f larged success and usefulness. The total number of Students in the College de- r partment, during the*Collegiate year, just expired, is 135. In the prepara tory department, 35. The course of study pursued, with the exception of Greek and Hebrew, embraces nearly all those branches of learning usually taught in our male col leges. The examination of pupils commenced on Mon day', and continued until Wednesday noon. In eve ry department of study, it was elaborate and thor ' ougli—exhibiting convincing proofs of commenda- • ble industry on the part of the pupils and thorough tuition by the Board of Instruction. Indeed, we hesitate not to say, that the system of intellectual culture and mental discipline in this institution is most rigid and wholesome. Nor has tlie deportment of the young ladies been | overlooked. In the social and family circle, as well , as in the recitation room, tlieir manners were high ly dignified, graceful and lady-like. A discipline, affectionate and parental—a guar dianship, vigilant and untiring, is exercised by the Faculty over the students entrusted to their care.— No pains are spared to shield them from improper associations and evil communications and habits, and to infuse into their young minds and implant in their hearts those sentiments of piety which alike ennoble and beautify the female character—and we are happy to believe that their efforts in this very responsible department of official duty have been most successful. The Musical Department is under the able direc tion and supervision of Prof. G. C. Taylor and Miss Ann C. Robinson, and the performances of the young ladies, both vocal and instrumental, in this very useful and delightful accomplishment, were highly satisfactory and entertaining. YVe con sider the institution most fortunate in securing in this department such eminent talent and worth. The Chapel was decorated by some very beautiful specimens of painting, drawing and embroidery, showing that tills department has been entrusted to skillful hands. On Thursday, a crowded auditory was very agreeably entertained in listening to the composi tions of the young ladies of the graduating class. The subjects were well chosen and discussed with creditable taste and ability. An elevated and mo ral tone of feeling was manifest in this interesting and important department of mental culture, show ing conclusively, that the heart as well as the head had been cared for. The compositions were indeed most excellent in thought and style, and very dis tinctly and gracefully uttered. In conferring the degrees, the worthy President imparted some very wholesome advice to the young ladies who were soon to step out upon the theatre of active life, assume its responsibilities, and encoun ter its vicissitudes. The interesting exercises of the occasion, closed with a very eloquent and beautiful address from Col. Henry Hull, of Athens, which was received with marked approbation and pleasure by the au dience. In conclusion, the undersigned would take occa sion to congratulate the public upon the growing interest every where exhibited in our great State in the good cause of mental enlightenment. Eve ry succeeding year witnesses the birth and consecra tion of some new educational enterprise, for the more general diffusion of liberal and useful learn ing among the sons and daughters of our glorious commonwealth. YVe trust the day is not distant, when, in intellectual and moral culture, as well as in natural advantages and physical resources, she may justly and proudly bear the appellation of the “Empire State of the South.” Jos.

The commencement exercises in Mercer Univer sity, for 1853, are over, and are now numbered among to things passed. The week has been one of stir and excitement. An unusual interest has been manifested in all the events connected with the occasion. The commencement Sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Tustin, on Sabbath morning, to an unusu ally large and intelligent audience. It was sensi ble and practical, and well suited to the occasion.— At night, the Rev. Mr. Furman preached the Mis sionary Sermon, which was well received by the audience. YY r ednesday’s exercises were as follows : Commencement Day. Theological Department. A. T.

This day having been determined upon as the time for holding a Convention at tills place, to nom inate a candidate to represent the first district of Georgia in the next Congress, a respectable number of delegates assembled at the Court-house, and on motion of T. McAuley, Esq., the Hon. Samuel D. Scrrency was called to the Chair, and Y. J. Ander son and-Jacob Cohen requested to act as Secre taries. On taking his seat, the Chairman, in a few brief and appropriate remarks, explained the object of the meeting, and called the Convention to order. A list of the counties composing the district being called, the following delegates appeared and record ed their names: Appling—Messrs. Jacob Moody and John Over- street. Bryan—Messrs. A. G. Smith and T. F. Alexan der. Chatham—Messrs. Henry Williams and Hiram Roberts. Clinch—Robert C. Surrency, Esq., (proxy.) Effingham—Messrs. M. II. Powers and Stephen F. Keller. Glynn—Maj. Samuel M.

Wayne—Dr. T. S. Hopkins. It being agreed that the present basis of repre sentation in the State Legislature be the basis of rep resentation in this Convention, on motion of Dr. T. S. Hopkins, the Delegates present were empowered to cast the entire vote of the counties which they represent. Having proceeded to canvass the Convention, it was ascertained by the first balloting that the lion. Francis S. Bartow, of Chatham, received a majority of all the votes polled; who, on motion of Col. O. C. Hopkins, was made the unanimous choice cf the Convention without a dissenting vote. On motion of Hon. Randal Folsom, a Committee of five, consisting of R. Folsom, T. McAuley, Y. J. Anderson, YY r . R. Manning and T. S. Hopkins, was appointed to inform Mr. Bartow of his nomination ; to which Committee, on motion ofT. McAuley, the Chairman was added. On motion of Dr. T. S. Hopkins, it was Resolved, That the President appoint a committee of one from each county represented, to draft reso lutions for the adoption of the Convention. YY'here- upon the President appointed the following gentle men, to-wit: J. Moody, A. G. Smith, H. Williams, M. H. Powers, YY. Williams, J. J. F. Blackshear, YV. B. Smith, R. Folsom, O. C. Hopkins, R.

Jenkins as a candi date for the office of Governor of Georgia; that we have the fullest confidence in his integrity, ability and patriotism, and that we will cheerfully unite with the conservative men of all parties iu his sup-- port, and in sustaining the Georgia Platform of 1850. Resolved, That we approve and adopt the princi ples of the resolutions passed at the late Gubernato rial Convention of the Republican citizens of Geor- gia. On motion of Y. J. Anderson, it was unanimously Resolved, That the Delegates in this Convention pledge their individual support to Air. Bartow, and that they will use all honorable means to secure his election. On motion of Hon. R. Folsom, it was Resolved, That the proceedings of the Convention be signed by the President and Secretaries, and sen to the Savannah Republican for publication, with the request that the Southern Recorder, Journal if Mess enger, Georgia Watchman, and all other papers in the State favorable to our cause, copy the same. After the usual vote of thanks to its officers, the Convention adjourned sine die. SAMUEL D. SURRENCY, President. IJl/sr For the Recorder. Messrs. Editors.—Sometime since I saw it sta ted in a Democratic fire-eating paper that Mr. Jen kins had no feelings in common with the people, but that Judge Johnson was the man for the mass es. A regular “people’s man.” The Editor cer- ainly did not know either of the men, or he surely vould not knowingly aud wilfully have so pervert ed the truth. “Straws shew which way the wind blows,” and a little incident which occurred a few years since will indicate very satisfactorily what Judge Johnson’s feelings towards the masses are. During the session cf Pulaski Court, Judge Scar borough was taken sick and compelled to adjourn the. Courts in Telfair and Irwin counties. He pro posed holding those courts sometime, in December, to winch all persons interested seemed willing, ex cept Judge Johnson. The Judge asked Col. John son if he had any other Courts to attend at that time or any important business to prevent his at tendance. The “Coon-killer” rose in all the ma jesty of wrath, and acknowledged there was noth ing of that kind to prevent him, but said he had no notion of quitting home and exposing himself and running the risk of his life by sleeping in their open log huts, at that inclement season of the year. Well, there were a good many of these “log hut” men present and some of them from these same wire- grass counties, and in a very few minutes there was a very indiscriminate cursing and very lavish use of hard names towards this “people’s man,” who was afraid of risking his life by sleeping iu log huts.— He seemed to have a perfect horror of log huts, which I suppose has infected lfim ever since the days of “Old Tip.” The wire-grass boys have neither forgotten or forgiven tins evidence cf his aristocratic notions, and asffie has a very fine house of his own, they in tend to let him stay at home. They think that the man who was afraid to sleep in their log cabins has no claim to lodge in their white house at Milledge ville. It might be risking his life to change his lodgings—or if he got into their house it might nearly kill him to have to come out again, and so they will not call on him to expose himself in their service. “WIRE-GRASS.” For the Recorder. Messrs. Editors—As I find it difficult to commu nicate with those with whom I have acted through the columns of a newspaper wliich is chiefly read by them, I must beg you to give me a small space for a few words. I think I am quite as sensitive to wrong or cold ness as any Scott YY'hig—and as a National YYliig would be as much indisposed to pardon the one or the other as any one of those with whom it was my pride to co-operate last year. But I am not accus tomed to take assertion, however strong, for proof— or to substitute conjecture and suspicion for fact.— My self respect—if my sense of justice did not, would forbid this. In no instance whatever have I seen or heard of any thing which authorizes the statement, that Scott YYhigs have been put aside in consequence of their being such. So far from this being so, I do not hesitate to express the conviction that Judge Trippe or Col. Hardeman would have been nominated and supported cordially by the YYehster YYhigs had ei ther allowed the ase of his name before the Guber natorial Convention. And evidence of this readiness can be found in several of the YY T ebster papers before the meeting of that Convention. The truth is there was no prominent Scott Whig in Georgia at all desirous of the honor of a nomina tion, and as this is unquestionably true, why should the Scott YY'hig-s complain of the nomination made on the ground “that Scott Whigs icerc passed over?'' Nor as far as I can learn in tlie Congressional Dis trict Conventions, did any fooling of hostility to any gentleman on account of liis being a Scott Whig control or influence the action of any of those Conventions. 1 am perfectly willing that my asso ciates may pursue such a course in the pending canvass as tlieir YY'hig principles and patriotism may dictate—without a word of remonstrance or remark, but I beg them not to act upon misrepre sentations. A SCOTT YY’HlG. Extract of a letter from a friend travelling North. Monday Morning, July 11th. I took my seat in the New-Haven train for Bridgeport via Norwalk. According to the rcceuv enactment of the Connecticut Legislature, th«j train came to a full stop at the Norwalk draw bridge. To mo, “’twas haunted holy ground.” But the waters flowed quietly and peacefully on and not an indentation is left to mark the fated spot, where so many of the brave, the bcauriful and the good were so lately sacrificed. Bridgeport is a busy and thriving city. “Bar- num’s palace” is pointed out to the traveller, a con spicuous object of interest. It needs only the min arets and crescent to remind one of a Maliomedan Mosque. This place is also famous for being the birth place of the renowned Tom Thumb. YY 7 e left tbe New Ilaven train at this place for the Nau gatuck Railroad. This road uniting Bridgeport and YYrinslett is 62 miles in length and passes north ward through Connecticut up the valley of the Nau gatuck River from which it takes its name. The scenery is varied and beautiful. Now aud then we passed a mountain with a beautiful village snugly j nestled at its base as if seeking protection from ! “Old Boreas,” who plays many a mischievous i prank in this region in the winter. Then again, those sparkling and beautiful mountain streams— 1 so transparent that you may see the speckled trout * playing beneath its water, or quietly basking upon 1 its surface, as much at ease as if conscious that j they are safe from all piscatory depredations, and under the “protection of the law." The rains in this region, seem to have been fre quent and abundant, and the trees and fields have on tlieir brightest summer lively of green, which to mo seemed surpassingly beautiful, because con trasted with your region, so recently my home, then parched and perishing “by reason of drought.”— Here on this road I had the pleasure of witnessing “Waterbary’s new plan of car ventilation.” I was surprised aud delighted to find myself riding in the cars w ithout a particle of dust or smoke—my lungs inhaling an atmosphere as pure and invigorating as when I wandered over the green hills and daisied meadows. Mr. YYaterbury was liimself the con ductor of the train. lie is a native of Connecticut, a young man, with a pleasing intelligent counte nance and gentlemanly manners. He very kindly explained his plan to several strangers on board, all of whom seemed delighted with it. The principle is very simple. The air is taken in at the tender, by the motion of the train, and the whole train be ing so connected that no air can escape, the whole volume is taken through the ears and passes out at the end of the train, the door being left open. The windows were all closed as obstructing the current. A very simple and satisfactory trial of it was made a few days since by a gentleman in this vicinity while riding down the Railroad. Inside the cars, the thermometer stood at 88, but at one of the de pots, carrying it out and plating it in a cool and well shaded situation the mercury immediately run up to 91—a decisive proof of the value of this new invention. It is very favorably thought of in. this vicinity, and several of the Northern roads are about introducing it. It has already been patented and I predict a fortune in prospect to the ingenious inventor. 1 hope it may be introduced upon our Georgia roads. There will then be no danger as now, of loosing one’s personal identity by being covered with smoke and dust or by being tanned as brown as a chestnut. One peculiarity struck me with regard to the maimers of the people of this region. The ride in the cars was not considered merely a matter of bu siness, but every body seemed on the lookout for amusement and instruction. Instead of quietly sitting down and saying nothing, because they had never been formally introduced, they all seemed to imagine that an obstacle very easily overcome, and soon fell into conversation as naturally and easily as old acquaintances. In front of me sat a very polite and gentlemanly Frenchman—who made advances to me by pre senting his snuff box, with, “It is good to take snuff.” I too, was on the look out for information aud must needs enquire what were the advantages resulting therefrom, so we were soon engaged in a lively conversation. By my side sat a fair and rosy checked lady who looked not a day over twenty-five, but who, as she afterwards informed me, was the mother of twelve children. I could not forbear enquiring if these Y ankees with their other improvements and inven tions had not found a “Fountain of Y'outh,” which prevented their grow ing old. But I reached YYTinsted, the end of my journey, and parted with my new acquaintances with some thing of the same regret with which I recently parted with old friends. B. MARRIED, In Marietta, on the 25th inst., by the Rev. J. L. Rogers, Dr. E. F. Colzey, of Oglethorpe, and Miss Mary S. YVallis, of Milledgeville. In Lawreneevifle, Ga., by the Hon. K. T. Terrell, J. I. C., Mr James D. Spencer to Miss Frances Louisa Patrick, both of that village. DIED, In Monticello, Ga., on the 22d ult., after a pain ful and lingering illness, Mrs. Ann Jordan, aged 62 years, consort of Col. Fleming Jordan, and daughter of the late Thomas and Rebecca Meriweth er. 8he was loved and honored by her family, and the community in which she lived regarded her with the feelings of children for a mother. For ma ny years a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, she adorned the profession she made by a life of humanity, purity, active benevolence and charity. Her example was a shining light—ever the “good Samaritan” in sickness and distress. From the highest to the lowest, she was the iVtre-« most inattention, kindness and charity, emulating her Divine Master by going about doing good. In her last illness she was sustained by the strongest and highest assurance of the Christian’s hope, and she earnestly invited her family and friends to meet her iu Heaven. Long will her memory be cherish ed by the community which now, with one accord, deeply mourn her loss, and in which her acts of kind ness, like the dew of Heaven, were bestowed upon all. On the 22th ult., in Marietta., at the residence of Dr. Chester, Martha Octave 1 ., infant daughter of Rev. C. R. Jewett, aged four months and eight days. On the 26th ult., in Twiggs county. Mrs. Missou ri H., wife of John Chapman and the daughter of James and Jane McCrary of Baldwin, aged twenty- two years nine months and twenty days. She has left a husband and two children and a large circle of re lations and friends to mourn tlieir irreparable loss. £3^ Our friends in Sumter county will have an opportunity of settling up their accounts in the early part of next week at their Superior Court. One of our firm will then be iu attendance for that purpose. Recorder Office, August 2d, 1853. L ETTERS remaining iu the Post Offica, Mil ledgeville, Ga., August 1st, 1853.
