He was the tree father of the American Union, it was be who went forth to lay the foundation of that great design at Albany ; and in New York he lifted up his voice. Hero among us he appeared as the apostle of the Union. It was Franklin who suggested the con vention of 1773, and bat for hia wisdom and the con fidence that wisdom inspired, it is a matter of doubt whether that congress would have taken effect, it was Franklin who suggested the bond of tbe Union which binds these states from Florida to Maine.— Eranklin was the greatest diplomatist of the Eight eenth century. He never spoke a word too soon ; he never spoke a word too much ; he never failed to •peak the right word at the right season.” When does Education Commence.—Education does not commence with tbe alphabet. It begins with amotbei’s look, with a fathers nod of approbation, or his sigh of reproof; with a sisters gentle pressure of the band, or a brother's noble act of forbearance; with a bandfat of flowers in green and daisy mead ows; with bird’s nest admired but not touched; with bnmming-bees and glass bee-hives; with pleasant walks in shady lanes; and with thoughts directed, in •weet and kindly tones and words, to nature, to beau ty, to acts of benevolence, to deeds of virtue, and to the Source of all good—to God himself.

W the father heard that his son had been arrested on charge of robbing the mail, he exclaimed— “ Have my grey hairs been brought to see this ?” and then fell.

Extremes.—A man of sensibility is always either in the attic of ecstasies, or the cellar of sorrow ; either jumping with Joy, or groaning with grief.

What k the staple of the ar gument which Whigs, In Whig States, are using against tbe present Democratic administration 7 It' is the charge that it has appointed abolitionists and secessionists to office—the very charge which tbe presses, la sappor^ of Jenkins, are reiterating. Let then the Jenkins party obtain the ascendency in Georgia, and Georgia at once ceases to be a Demo cratic btate. The party beaded by Jenkins becomes as moch a portion of tbe National Whig party as the party beaded by Crittenden, in Kentucky, by Ever ett, in Massachusetts, and Seward, in New York— The kune, then, involved in oar approaching election —In the canvass between Johnson and Jenkins- whether the administration and the Democratic party •hail be sustained or repudiated by Georgia. From it there is no escape. Tbe supporters of Johnson, call themselves what they may, are Democrats—tbe sup porters of Jenkins, “ republican citizens,” 44 conser vative men,” or what not, are Whigs. They are op ponents of Gen. Pierce, and to all intents and pur- poses, opponents of the Democratic party North and South. Let the time come for another Piesidential race, with Whig and Democratic candidates in the field, and who doubts that tbe political enemies of Pierce and Johnson will be the aupportere of tbe Whig national nominee? These statements carry with them, we know, the self-evidence of truisms, yet it may not be unimpor tant to call to them the attention of Democrats. We therefore regard as peculiarly appropriate anil valua ble the following letter from Mr. Chappell, in ans wer to one who desired him to run in opposition to tbe Democratic Congressional nominee in tbe third District. Mr. Chappell has tbe reputation of being one of the ablest men of the State—a leading Union Democrat—and, if we recollect rightly, was President of the Unloa Convention which met in hliUedgerille last summer: Messrs. Editors .-—In your paper of last week, I observe an article under the signature of “ Bibb.” which demands some notice from me. in order that there may be no inisap- E rebension as to my political position; for 1 deem it incurn- L-nt on every man. in such a country as ours, to see to it, that he Is rightly understood in reference to the relation in which he stands »o the party divisions which exist among his fellow-citizens. “ Dlbb ” assumej that the Union party of Georgia has been reorganised, and takes it as a matter of course that I - will resume my proper position in It," and does roe the honor of suggesting me as th: candidate for Congress of that party in this District. Hrre. at the very outset. I am ouliged to say that ’Ebb” and myself do not agree as to the /act which be assumes to exist. It is not my opinion tba the Union party of Georgia has been revived and re- organized. It is well known that whilst certain political events were in progress last year. I regarded them aa the death-knell of the Union party. It is also known that I greatly deprecated those events, and struggled hard against them. They, nevertheless, hapjened. and their effect in to tally breaking up and dissolving the Union party, was one of those p*.pubic tbiogs about which it was impossible for a doubt to be entertained by any body. Nor do I think that any considerable number of persons can be found agreeing with - Bibb ” in the opinion that the Union party of Geor- gia. which was thus broken up List year, has been revived and re-organized, and is again in the field to do battle as of yore. At all events, such is not iny opinion. The party now in the field, and to which - Bibb ” evidently adheres, and with which he would have me act, does not even an nounce Itself to the world as the Union party. The omis sion to do so in the proceedings of the late Gubernatorial Convention at Milledgeville is certainly a very significant circumstance. It plainly argues that the opinion of that Convention in regard to th tfad of the re-organization of tbe Union party. U quite diner eained by “ Bibb.” But it is not tbe name, or the want of a name, of the party to which *• Ebb ” alludes, that creates the insuper able obstacle to my acting with it. I am a friend and sup porter of the present Democratic Administration of the General Government. I contributed by my vote to tbe bringing of that Administration into p-'wer. I have confi dence in the great national party by which that Adminis tration was brought into power. Of course, I cannot con sistently with my views and convictions on national poli tics. take position In the ranks of a party In Georgia which is inevitably destined, as 1 think, to be an OmnsUion party —a psrtr antagonistic to Gen. Pierce’s Administration.and to the Nations! Democracy. Tbe Northern Democratic partv has, in mr qpinion. from tbe days of Jefferson down to tbe present hour, been characterized in tbe main, by friendship and justice to the South. They have stood by us in a thousand trials ; they hare fought, and either con- quered or fallen for us in a thousand bard political battles. Yes! and they were, as a body, with us In that last and greatest battle of all. the battle upon the Compromise ques tions growing out of the acquisition of New Mexico and California. I cannot bring myself to turn my back on such aNortheru party, and on an Administration which 1 con- curred with it in electing, until It shall manifest a spirit and a conduct signally discordant with the general tone of Its past history and character. My devotion to the South led uie In 1841. when representing the State in Congress, to cast off all political connection with the Northern Whigs, because I saw and knew for myself, that na a mass, they were Intensely leavened, thoroughly penetrated with hos tility to the South. From that period I hare been led by the same devotion to the South, to advocate the policy of acting with and sustaining the Northern Democratic party, because I saw and knew for myself, that tho party was as a body, thoroughly imbued with just feelings and a friendly bias towards the Sooth, and acted habitually under the In fluence of such feelings. Under these circumstances, and entertaining these con victions. it is, of course. im|>os»ibIe for mo to identify mv> seif with any party in Georgia, under whose banner T would inevitably.aa I believe, soon find myself In a position of alliance with the National Whig Party, and of hostility to that National Democratic party, to which I have long been attached, which I bave ju-t heljted to carry into |>ower, and in whi^h I still have confidence, although some things have transpired In appointments to office by the President, which I could have wisned had been otherwise. Nevertheless, being an optimist in politics, (if I may bor row a phrase from that great statesman. Mr. Ituchnnan.) I shall continue to support Gen. Pierce’s Administration, and to act with the party bv wh ch it Is supported, until some thing shall occur (which Heaven forbid) making such n course no longer the be*-t which a Southern man can pur- •u«. Your obedient servant. A. n. CHAPPELL. Columbus In 1828. In looking over an old work, Travels in North America, in the years of 1827 and 1828, by Captain Basil Hall, ot tbe English Navy, we came across the following discretion of tbe foundation of the city of Columbus. It will not, we opine, be read without interest at this time. Twenty-five yean ago, this city existed, but upon paper, and in the dreams and hopes of speculators. The advance of Georgia in a quarter of a century, lias no belter commentary than the dis cretion here given by Captain Hall, placed in con trast with a detail of tbe late Railroad festivities, be tween Columbus and Savannah t *• On the 31st of March we reached tbo Creek Agency, ly ing on the right or western bank of the Cbatahoochee and from that point made aa expedition to a very curious place •• About a year before the period of our visit, that is to say. In the course ofl8’27. an arrangement was completed by tbe government ofthe United States, by which tbe Creek nation of Indians were induced to quit the territory lying between tbe Cliatahoochee and the Flint rivers, and to move westward within the limits of State of Alabama; thus leaving the vast Intermediate district of country at the dis- C >ul of the Georgiaus. It aeems that, according to the ws of Geoigia, any land so acquired, by what is called th extinction of the Indian claims, is dlvid-d, by lottery, amongst the inhabitants of the State. Every citizen 21 years of age has one draw, as it Is cilled, a married man two draws,a married man with a family, three I forget the farther particulars, and have mislaid the act of the leg islature upon the subject. I believe, however, that the luts were of202X acres each. Be these details, however, as they may, the whole of the country, formerly occupied by a few Indians, was no sooner acquired than it was divided, in the way I bave mentioned, amongst the people of that State. u When this distribution took place, however, the State government reserved a portion of the country, five miles •qusre. upon which they proposed to found a city. The sit uation chosen for this purposed was a spot on the left bank of the Chatahoncbee, which (s the boundary line between tbe State < {Georgia and Alabama. The new city wae to commence at the lower end of a long series of fells, or more properly speaking, rapids, over which this great river dash es for some miles in a very picturesque manner. The per pendicular fell being about 200 feet, an immense power for turning mills Is placed at the disposal of the Inhabitants of the future city, within the limlta of which the whole of this valuable portion of the river has been included. All the way down to the Culf of Mexico, also, the navigation of the Chatalioochee is unimpeded, so that several steamboats had already made their way up to the spot I am speaking of. “ By a law of the State of Georgia, It was arranged that 00 days should elapse, after this portion of land reserved for the city was completely surveyed, before any of the build ing lota could be sold. These lota were to consist of half an acre each, and the whole five miles square waa to be distinctly marked out (n afreets, on paper, end being num bered and lettered accordingly,they were to bo advertised for aale over tbe whole Union. These sixty days were con sidered sufllclent to enable adventurers, settlers, land-spec ulators. merchants, and all otbera so disposed, to come to tbe spot preparatory to tbe auction. “The project took like wildfire ; and the advantages of the new elty br ing loudly proclaimed over the land, people flocked from 111 quarters to aee and Judge ot It for them selves. We arrived, fortunately, jnst In the niek of time to see the cartons phenomenon of en embryo town—a city aa yet without a name, or any existence In law or fact hot crowded with Inbabitante. ready to commence their muni cipal duties at the tap of an auctioneer's hammer. On tearing tbe Creek Agency, w# drove for some miles aloogtbe Indian, or Western side of tbe river, and then crossed over by a ferry to the left bank. In order to see thlnga better, we sent on the carriage, and walked towards Columbus, which, It was understood, was to be the future name of the future dty. 14 Anntlenun—one of the assembled inhabitanU—had been kind enough to accompany oa from tbo agency, to ahow off tbe [Jons of this singular place. Tbe first thing to which ho called <rar attention, waa a long line out through the coppice wood of oaks. This, our guin# begged us to ob serve, was to be the principal street; and tbo brushwood having been eat away, so as to fear* a lane four feet wide, with small stakes driven In at Intervals, we could walk along it easily enough.

Certain political writers of this State, taking a bint from the aforesaid practice, have cut one alter an other all the strings upon which they played their arias, until they are reduced to but one poor, despi cable strip of catgut. First it was discovered that one string made a deep, heavy, Democratic sound, hut the audience rather liked that, and it was cut away. Next, another string sang only of moral worth and private character, but the variations were found to be false, and that was cut away. But two strings remained: one of these represented the doctrine of Spiritual Rappers, and iu the hands of the aforesaid editors it made a most doleful, a fearful sound, but the people turned up their noses at that string, and, as in the case of the others, the audience was percep tibly being thinned out so that these political fiddlers began to apprehend they would hardly have a listener left, do that string was cut away. But one string is left: and upon that the changes and variations are made which exhibit tbe determination of the per formers to seesaw upon it until, perhaps, the lost friend in the house will be driven from it; this string sings only of Disunion, and makes mast horribly dis cordant sounds—shouting, at the end of every stran and variation of the air, " hot-headed party dema gogue and——disunionist!” When the afon said itinerant fiddlers used to begin to cut their strings, the part of the audience accus tomed to polite and respectable music, used to begin to leave tbe house, and by the time one only string was left, there were none of the audience left but tho.=e who could not understand for themselves, but took it for granted that tbe one string mimic wav tbe moans of an honest triumph. And it is altogether likely that the sensible portion of the community will now, since all the legitimate music is silenced, in the same manner grow tired and disgusted with this political “ fiddling on one string! ” Jingo.

One evil, however. la invariably attendant upon a rainy season in this latitude, and a similar transfor mation would require tbe genius.of your famous Hel ler. which Is the creation of a certain tribe whose blood-thirsty propensities are not regulated with re spect to those with whom they may come in con tact, but wreak their fory upon all indiscriminately. Do not misconceive the species referred to, and charge such deeds of blooa to tbe poor Seminole’s account, bat ntber to a for more (at present) blood thirsty tribe, termed here mosquitoes, or, to use an old familiar city phrase “ bill stlckera.” Certainly, of all tbe insect or vermin tribes, the palm must be yielded to this portion of it for audacity, number*, and “ length of bills,” tailors not excepted. At the approach of dask they appear in swarms, obliging all to act on the defensive, by a brisk application of tbe mosquito brush,or a snug retreat beoeath tbe mosquito bar, at tbe option ot tbe “ sufferer.” But this annoyance is of foie greatly obviated by clearing away tbeabrunbery, 4c., adjacent to tbe garrison, it being characteristic of this tribe to vamose at the approach of civilization in the same manner as is looked for by the government with respect to another resident here; but os to tbe actual number that will vamose before the lamentable alow progress of im provement which has attended the State sinco Its acquisition, is easily conjectured, and Is to bo re gretted. The speedy possession and settlement of this, the southern portion of the peninsula, cannot be other wise than desirable, and pregnant with importance to the State and country at large. The vast tract of country, its diversified soil, and surface of pine, bar ren hammock, prairie and swamp, its peculiar cli mate aud position, all anitc in holding forth unequal led inducements to tbe southern planter and capital ist—la fact, all who may feel disposed to try tbeir plow and fortunes in this titled “ Garden of the Union.” Within its embrace are found the various luxuriant tropical fruits, in tbeir natrual state of vegetation, (the only portion of the Union so favored) combined with the culture of nil the staple products of the south, which flourish to the highest degree, and but partially develope the immense resources of the State which, when practically tested, will vie with auyof her sisters, iu value, quality, and aggregate produce. Her stately pine and sturdy live oak, which cover sn immense area of surface, have become (aside from domestic consumption) a valuable article of export, used iu maritime structures, Uniting in every sea, and acknowledged to be the best material for such purposes In the world.

Many warriors, women and children of all parties, come in and trade, viewing everything with an air of haughty pride and self-satisfaction, the uatural re sult or late negotiations. King Bowlegs still remains in obscurity, though constantly promising (through a second iierson) to soon emerge therefrom and come in ; but how far his assertions may be relied on has been satisfactorily tested heretofore. The last message received from him stated his intention to visit the post immediate ly after the completion of the “ green com dance.”— This is an annual Indian festival in which the whole nation participates, occupying tbe space of three or four days, commencing near the 15th of the present month. Billy is certainly very wary, and is deter mined to keep aloof from all possible danger and in fluence. Major French (the Post Commandant) was a few davs since honored with a message from tbe celebra ted Mickusukie chief, Arpeika, better known as Sam Jones. The message, in substance, was an invitation extended to tbe Major to hold a “ talk” at some sta ted time and place, but not within ten miles of the Post. The Major replied, through the messengers, (two athletic warriors,) that “ he had nothing to talk about nor was he emjiowered to do so, but would be happy to see the old warrior at any time and pla<« to assure him of the kind intentions of his ' great fa ther’ toward him, as well as to satisfy a personal de sire, long entertained, or beholding a personage occu pying so prominent a position in the history of his race. This, accompanied by a quantity or “ wy-o- mee,” or whisky, was despatched to the famous re cipient, and no doubt was well received, particularly tbe above named accompanying present. The garrison, last evening, was the scene of a thril ling incident, a practical illustration of “ Uncle Tom Stowe's Cabin,” both in theory and principle. Par ticulars are as follows; At sunset, on the day in question, a signal fire was descried on the opposite bank of tbe river, distance one and a half miles, and, as is usual in such cases, a boat and crew were immediately dispatched to ascer tain tbe cause of sa'd lire, and convey over any per sons who might be there in waiting. AH supposed the fire to be built by Indians having a desire to cross over to trade, as is often the case—but on approach ing the shore the party was discovered to consist of three powerlul negroes, armed with rifles and a dou ble shot gun, dressed in the German plantation style, and manifesting considerable uneasiness at the sight of the crew. A glance and a few interrogatories convinced nil of their situation and intentions— i. c., that they were unmistaknbiy fugitive slaves, on their way to join the Indians; but no remarks were passed which could possibly arouse their suspicions, and they were ac cordingly given a passage to the post (at their own request) to purchase powder and provisions. They were accordingly taken before Major French, to whom they asserted “ that they belonged to Billy Bowlegs, aud had been out on a hunt for two months or more; that their ammunition and provision were exhausted, and they wished lo obtain so much as would subri-t them until they could reach the Indian village/ — Not a very plausible story, certainly, and the Major, interpreting their true characters and designs, ques tioned them very closely, and was answered, in part, by a miserable attempt at the Seminole vocnbulnry, their whole knowledge of which consisting of half a dozen words familiar to every soldier and citizen re siding in the vicinity. This, with other connecting circumstances, con firmed the suspicions of the Major, who immediately gave them in charge of the sergeant of the guard ; nnd, on their arrival at the guard house, discovering the leap laid, the three gave a yell and a leap, and disappeared in the thicket, leaving behind them their entire stock of provisions and cooking utensils, com posed of an oat sack half filled with beef bones, nn Iron tea kettle, also an axe and one shoe. Thus are they left in a state of utter destitution and no means of alleviating their pitiable situation. Vigilant search has been made to discover their retreat, but without success. It is supposed—if they reach the Indian village, or come in contact with a hunting party—they will be immediately captured and brought In. The fugitives are supposed tn be from Man a tee, a settlement near Tampa Bay. The circumstance has created considerable excitement, and many conflicting opinions exist, involving the question of slavery, its rights, wrongs, 4c., 4c.

Cotton Falsely Packed. The Memphis Enquirer rays ; A great deal of cot ton. falsely packed, has been shipped from our port during tbe past season. We bave just heard of one lot which was purchased Id this market last Janu ary, and shipped to New Orleans, the lot consisting of forty-two bales of cotton—three biles of which proved to be water-packed. Two of the boles were detected at New Orleans previous to tbe sale of the list in that market; but one was not ascertained to be damaged until after it had been sold, among ttie rest, at 9j cents. This bale was very heavy, weigh ing about 674 pounds, and sold for about sixty-six dollars. The false packing, however, was discovered after the sale, and the bale has just been returned by the purchaser to the commission merchant in thfs city. It is thoroughly water-packed, as to be almost entirely worthless, and was sold at auction for $19, leaving about 848 loss to tbe first purchaser in this city. This loss he has paid by the commission mer chant. aud he must now look to the planter for jua tice. We regret to say that this Is only on- of the many cases of this sort: and we trust it will be the last.- .V. O. Bee, 2d. From the Provinces, By Col. Favor and the steamer Admiral, we have latest.

A recent writer gives some interesting particulars upon this subject: “ In twelve years about five hundred million dollars were raised by the house for different powere. by way of loan or subsidy, which were distributed in nearly the following proportion : lor Edgland, two hundred millions; for Naples, fifty millions; for Russia,twen ty-five millions*; fur several German courts, four millions; (or Brazil, twelve millions, exclusive of va rious uthei large sums. The remarkable success of the Rothschilds, setting aside the great opportunities they have enjoyed from favorable circumstances, may be attributed to their strict adherence to two funda mental maxims. The first of these, in compliance with the dying Injunctions of the founder of the house, is the conducting all their operations in com mon. Every proposition of magnitude made to one of them, is submitted to the deliberations of all. No project is adopted until thus fully discussed, and is theu executed by united efforts. A second principle is, not to aim at exorbitant profits, to set definite lim its to every operation, and so fnr as human foresight and prudence can do, to render it independent of accidental influence. In this maxim lies one of tbe main secrets of tboir strength.” ^ The Philadelphia papers bave been furnished by Dr. bturgeon, U. S.

The former occurs nt the pastern joint, and generally arises from strain o! these ligaments ; but tbe latter consists in ossification of the cartilages of the sides of the foot, which become enlarged, as well as converted into bone. The best treatment for ringbones of either kind is, after the inflamation has been in a great measure removed by cooling applications, to lire the part, nr otherwise rub in the iodine of mercury oint ment, washing off the effects on the following day, and thus repeating it again and again. We have by such means succeeded in removing the lameness, diminishing tbe enlargement, and r-storing the ani mal, in many cases, to a state of usefulness.—Spooner. A Leviathan Newspaper.—A statement is made in one of the Londori newspapers (The Britannia.) of the operation of the reduetion of the advertist- ment tax on newspapers proposed In the Ministerial budget, which shows the enormous amount of the business ot tbe Times office. The whole number of half-penny supplement stamps issued in England in 18-52. was 16,244,437, of which the Times took about 10,650,000,leaving but about four and a half millions for all other papers throughout England. The calcu lation Is that the release of the stamp duty on adver tisements will benefit the Times uewspaperto the ex tent of £35.000, say one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars a year! What is the whole value of an establishment whose annual income is affected to that prodigious amount by the alteration in the half-penny duty on advertisements ?
