TIIE OTII OF JANUARY
Yesterday was, as it ulwnyn is, remembered by

fur mu-ter, to do honor to Til* Day; one, rendered
brigiu in our country’s initials, not tnoro by thohiil

it had over our then enemies. They tire now "in

us tho halite of New Orleans, wo regret that their
vn nets should have undo them ''enemies in tear,'’
Several of our volunteer companies, yesterday,
exercised themselves in tniget shooting, und all
fired salutes, nt tlio base of the monument to
Giieknk and I'ulaski, ill honor of The Day,
We annex tlio names of tlio victors, ns fur ns wo
have been able to learn them.
Of the Blues, private John Me Fur nnd was the
prize winner.
Of tlm Guards, privnte W. II. C. Mills took tiie
prize—n musket.
The Guards vi.ited, by invilutinn. the 1'ntrnneis
of the Corps,—tlw lady of their esteemed Coinman-
(Col, Jutnes Marshall) at n time when '‘grim
visaged tear" presented ''his wrinkled front."
They wero received by Mrs. Mutsbull mid the
Colonel with their usuuj hospitality. A hoartl.crowd-
ed with viutids, fruits, uinos, &c, and decked with
huiuctcri»tic taste, was spread before them, und the
fatigue of the citizen soldier wns soon forgoiwn in
tlm zest which an ot.D Guaud's welcome imparted
to tho fen«t, which wua "o feast of reason and a
flow of soul."
We could proceed to dwell upon tiie reminis
cences which such a meeting might awaken, but
they cun bu conceived b) tlm ruuder, wlm, buoyed
nut w ith youth, and hopes, pcculiur tu that -luge of
life, can survey tliu ravages which Time prod-simi

GEORGIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Thu subject selected by Mr. Solomon Cohen, for
tho introductory lecture before tho society,
day availing
tho Government of our country."
Tho speaker first referred to tho necessity which
had, in all lime, prompted the origin and formation
of Government*.
"In all stages of the physical nnd moral world,
(observed the lecturer) tho impress ofn governing
principle may bn found. God liiouclf regulate* b)
fixed rubs, tlio cuilh und tho heavens, ami all that
in them i* lie made tim Sun to rule by day, nnd
the Moon ami Stars by night. And ibis necoAsity
of fixed rules of government is manifested in every
condition of man."
lie then proceeded to trace thu history of govern
ments in Roncral. "Tlto Patriarch of tliu day, in
progress of event*, becomes tlio Chief ofa iriho,
when some Ciiis f, more powerful than the test*
brings within tlto ciiclo of hi* power, tlm neighbor
ing tribe*, ar il assumes control over ull. Timu lolls
nn, civilization advances, and tlm descendant of tlm
bold Cbieftnin become* n King or an emperor, and
is decked in tlm rubes und insignia of royn'ty."
Tl.o lecturer proceeded to trnco tlm distinelivo
ciicuniHtunces \vhicli separated tin* formation ufoor
government from llmso accidental cause* which
had uslmrcd other governments into existence.
" It (s.iid lie) was tlm result of calm deliheiiition,
protracted discussion, nnd mutual concession. The
•tunny eleumnts of political tivulry wero culinud Ur
fore tliu stern voice of patriotism. Faction wax re
buked, and u pure nnd mild government, lm»ed up
on liberty, toleration, and the consent nnd general
good of tlm governed, was firmly established.*’
Tlm sneaker timu culled tlio attention of his midi
tnry to tlm motives, cause* and circumstances,
which had reared upon these distur.t shores, tlm
habitation* of civilized man, and to 1)10 beauty and
inaj-Bty of that laud, where llte great political expu-
liinent of inaii’s capability for self government wa*
to bo ossnyed.
"It wits 11 new world—vice bad not yet polluted
its noil, nnd tlm goodness and greatness, nnd pow*
er und ginudcur of Jehovah were evety where inuii-
jfest. The boundless finest, tlto majestic river, the
lurtilo soil, the roaring euturaet, llte lowering 1001111-
lain, all Imre the impress of his power, and scorned
fresh front Ids hand."
Ho limit traced tlm struggle* of our country,
through tottering infancy, to tlio maturity und
strength of ugo. Thu motives w hich influenced,
nudtiioopprsssii.il which impelled tlio men of tlm
Revolution, Duvid-like, to hurl defianco at tlm Go.

Tlto English paper* are filled with extravagant rx
pressions of upprobat on of tlm despatch with which

it little too fast with their ImusifiJ congratulations.
O d England has yet a lusinii to learn from her sons
this side ofthu wmer. The Dover paper, for in

because tlm speech of the king of ihe French,at 1 ho
opening of the session, was canted from Dover to

" Notiiing muck lo beat this can lie done, even
by strum ami rail; though the earner pigeon ex

I have u pretty story to tell you of your friend,

him in a plot nguintt thi* girl and her mother, to
Cain her a* a matter of speculation. He told her
how much ho loved her, and that th-y would go to
Knglund and be married, and then to Italy, where
they would soon make a fortune. They started fur
Boulogne. The mother, in distress, through sumo
influence, Imd an interview with the minister of the
interior, who tent a telegraphic despatch to Bo'i
