Altogether, it is a sad sight to see a great man—

to the necessity, when nearly three score and ten, of
fighting a great battle to maintain that position in
the confidence of his consUtuents which he has held

of Mr. Webster. Ho, too, outlived his popularity
among those who had most praised and lauded him;
and Massachusetts, whom he so loved, so servod,aml
so honored, refhses, through her Legislature, to erect
a monument to his name! What a contrast is pre
sented by the example of him to whom, for so long a
time, both of them stood in opposition—one in bitter
hostility. Mr. Calhoun, without once in his life con-
descending to court the popularity of his constituents,
died the idol of hla whole Btate. At no previous pe
riod of a long public career, during which he never
lost her confidence, was South Carolina ever bo devo

valuable edition of the works (if tho World’s great

completed in sixteen weeks. Price 26c. a number.
This edition is “reprinted from the newly discovered
copy of the folio of 1032, in possession of J. Paynb
Collier, containing nearly twenty thousand manu
script corrections." The publisher, Mr. Rebfield,
say 8 :
“This is an American Copyright Button, the Notes being
expressly prepared for the work. The English edition con
tains simply ths text, without a single note or indication
of the changes made in the text. In the present, tho varia

Mr. Redfield’s must, wo think, supersedo all tho

lier’s corrections raako it really a different work
from its predecessors. Compared with it we consider
them hardly worth possessing. Wo need only add,
that in typo and paper, the issues before us are all

This paper, published at Albany, Baker County,
his taken a new editor, in the person of tho Hon,
Lorr Warren. Tho Judge is a thorough-going
Whig. Ho opens tho fight against the Democratic
party in a salutatory from which we make tho fol low
ing extract:
With muoh apprehension ’I enter upon the responsible
duties of the editorial Department of this pajior, apprehen
sion prodaced by an entire want of all experience in such
affairs, and a total disrelish, at my advanced age, to engago
in new, arduous and exciting labors—labors, too, In which
the public are concerned, so far as correct views, and infor
mation of the public affairs are interesting to the countrv.
The conservative Whig party have noedod a paper In this
part of Oeorgla for the dsfenco of their principles, os well
as to expose the errors of the destructives. • And in view of
wants in this regard, the owners of this paper have tem
porarily imposed upon me these dutios j and, feeling at ail
times willing to do what I can In tho causa of the country,
I come before tho public to tbo discharge of tho duties as
best I may. promising nothing but fidelity to tho trust, and
as much labor as can be spared from other professional
engagements, which must always have tho strictest atten
tion j and to apply, as well as I can, my scanty political re
sources to the furtherance of the Conservative Whig party
of Georgia, in Us present control with Disuulonlsts. under
the name of Democrats, which name they cast off in 1850
. for another, and, aa they then supposed, a more popular
name, and who now resumo their old namo as a cover to
their principles and purposes; and after, ns they think,
they have obtained sufficient aid from the Whig ranks, to
enable them to achlove a victory over allconsorvatlvo mon.
Orange Melon.—We receivod yesterday from Mr.
Grant, of this city, an Orange Melon, the first that
we ever saw, and the most delightful of tho melon
species that wo have ever tasted. Tho donor will
please accept our thanks for a gift which was very
truly appreciated.
The Orange Melon—the seed and pulp of which
are little different from the usual varieties of Water
Melons—doubtless, recoives its title from the fact
that Its rind peals off very much as does that of tho
beautiful fruit whose name it bears.
Coroner’s Inquests—Coroner Eden was called
yesterday to hold two Inquests—one on tho body of
Henry Carey, a free man of color, who died at the
grocery shop of Mr. Bankman, corner of Jofferson
and Chariton-streeta, between ton and eleven, A. M.,
from drinking ice water while In an over heated con
dition. Tho other was the body of Harry, a slave
man belonging to Mrs. H. Monoin, drowned in tbo
. ' river in attempting to oross from tho foot of West
Broad-street to Danfusicee Island, on Saturday last.

■olvo In tblit and exooutod it With the quietude and
Indlflbrenoo of an ordinary transaction. He was in
tho mlddlo of a third senatorial term, and in the roll
possession of all his faculties of mind and body; but
bis term for retirement bad oorae—tho time fixed by
himself—but fixed upon oonvlcUon, and for well con
sidered reasons, and moxorablo to him as if fixed by

end of his term, and who Insisted that his mind was
as good as ever, he would answer that it was good
enough yet to let him know that he ought to quit of-
floe before his mind quit him, and that ho did not
mean to risk the fate of the Archbishop of Grenada.
Ho resigned hla senatorial honors as ho hod won

and gratitude to the General AsBombly of his State :

ment, and died without pain or suffering, Juno 21ml.
1737, characteristic In death as in lire. It was eight
o’olock in the morning when ho felt that tho supreme
hour had come, had hunsolf frill dressed with his hab
itual neatness, walked in tho room and lay upon tho
bed, by turns conversing kindly with thoso who were
about him, and showing by his conduct that ho was
ready and waiting, but hurrying nothing. It was
the doath of Socrates, all but the hemlock, and in
that full faith of which tho Ureolan sago had only a
glimmering. Ho directed his own gravo on the point
of a sterile ridge, (where nobody would wish
to plough) and covered with a pile of rubblo flint
stone, (whloh nobody would wish to build with)—
deeming this Btorllity, nnd tho UHolessness of this
rock, tho best security for that undisturbed repose of
the bones which is still desirable to thoso who ure in
different to monuments. . ,
Iu almost all strongly marked characters there Is
usually some incident or sign in early life, which
shows that character and reveals to tbo oloso observ
er tho type of tho future man. So it was with Mr.
Macon. His firmness, his patriotism, his self-denial,
his devotion to duty ana disregard of office and
emolument, his modesty, integrity, Bolf-control and
subjection of conduct to the couvictions of reason
anil tho dictates of virtue, oil so steadily exemplified
in a long life, were all shown from the early ago of
eighteen, in tho.rolnlnfnro representation of iudivi-
a 11 ui action, and only confirmed in tho subsequent
public exhibitions of a long, beautiful and exalted
career. Ho was of that ago, and a student at Prince
ton college, at the time ot tbo declaration of Ameri
can Independence. A small volunteer corpB was
then on tbo Delaware. Ho quit his books—joined it
—served a term—returnod to Princeton—and re
sumed lila studies. Iu tbo year 1778 the southern
states had become a battle-field,big with their own
fate, and possibly involving tho issue of the war.—
British fleets and armies appeared there, strongly
supported by tho friends of tho British causo ; and
tho conquest of tho south was fully counted upon—
Help was needed in these states; and Mr. Macon,
quitting college, returned to his native county in
North Carolina, joined a militia company as a pri
vate, and marched to South Carolina—then tho tho-
otre of tho enemy’s operations. Ho had his Bliaro in
all the hardships and disasters of that trying time—
was at the full of Fort Moultrie, surrender of Charles
ton, defeat at Camden, and in the rapid winter re
treat across the upper part of North Carolina.
He was in tbo camp on the left bank of the Yadkin
when the sudden flooding of that river, in tho brief
interval between the crossing of the Americans and
the coming up of the British, arrested tho pursuit of
Cornwallis, nnd enabled Greene to allow some rest to
his wearied and exhausted men. Iu this camp, des
titute of every thing and with gloomy prospects
ahead, a summons camo to Mr. Macon from tho Gov
ernor of North Carolina requiring him to attend a
meeting of tho General Assembly, of which he had
been elected a member, without his knowledge, by
tbo people of his country. He refused to go ; and
tho Incident being talked of through tho crimp, catne
to tho knowledge of tho general. Greene was a man
himself, anil ablo to know a man. He felt nt once
that, if this report was true, this young soldier was
no common character ; and determined to verify tho
fact. He sent for the young man—inquired of him—
heard the truth, and then asked for tho reason of this
unexpected conduct-this preference for a suffering
entnp over a comfortable scat in tho General Assem
bly 7 Mr. Macon answered him in bis quaint and
sententious way, that he had seen tho faces of the
British many times, but had nevor seen their backs,
and meant to stay in the army till he did. Groeuo
instantly saw the material tiio young man was made
of, and the handle by which he was to bo worked.—
That material was patriotism ; that baudlo, a sense
of duty; and layiug bold of this handle ho quickly
worked the yonugmaniutoadifferentcouclusionfrom
the one that lie had arrived at. Hu told him ho could
do more good as a member of tho General Assembly
than as a soldier—that in the army ho was but one
man, and in the General Assembly ho might obtain
many, with the supplies they needed, by showing
tho destitution and suffering which I10 had seen in
the camp; and that it was his duty to go. This view
of duty and usefulness was declsivo. Mr. Macon
obeyed tho Governor’s summons ; and by hla repre
sentations contributed to obtain tiie supplies which
euabled Greene to turn bnck and face Cornwallis—
fight him—crippio hioi—drive him further back than
ho bad advanceu (for Wilmington is south of Cam-
dem)— disable him from remaining In tho smith, (of
which np to the battle of Gnilford he believed himself
to bo master,) and sending him to Yorktown, where
he was captured and tho war ended.
The philosophy of history bos not yet laid hold of
tho battle of Giltord, its consequences and effects.—
That battle made the capture at Yorktown. The
events are told in every history: their connection and
dependence in none. It broke up the plau of Corn
wallis in the South, and changed the plan of Wash
ington in the North. Cornwallis was to subdue the
Southern States, and was doing it until Greene turn
ed upon him at Gilford. Washington was occupied
by Sir Henry Clinton, then in New York with 12,000
British troops. He had formed tho heroic design to
capture Clinton and bis army (the French fleet co
operating) in that city, and thereby putting an end
to tho war. All his preparations were going on for
thatgrandconsumniatien. when ho got the newsofthe
battle or Guilford—the retreat of Cornwallis to Wil
mington—his inability to keep the Held in the south,
and his return northward through tho lower part of
Virginia, He Baw his advantage—an easier prey—
and the same result, if successful. Cornwallis or
Clinton, either of them captured, would put an end
to the war. Washington ouanged his plan—deceived
Clinton—moved rapidly upon the weaker general-
captured him and his7000 men, and ended tho war.
Tho battle of Gilford put that capture into Washing
ton's hands, and thus Guilford and Yorktown became
connected ; nnd the philosophy of history shows their
dependence, and that the lesser event was father to
tho greater. Tho State of North Carolina gave Gen
eral Greene 25,000 acres of western land for that
day’s work, now worth a million of dollars—but the
day itself lias not yet obtained its proper place in
American history.
Th^jnilitary life of Mr. Macon finished with his
dc.pnrome from the camp on tho Yadkin, and ids
civil public llfo commenced on his arrival at the
General Assembly, to which lie had been summoned
—that civil public life in which ho was continued
above forty years by free elections—representative iu
Congress under Washington, Adams, Jefforsou and
Madison, and long the Speaker of the IIouso : sena
tor in Congress under MadiBon, Monroe,aim John
Quincy Adams, and often elected President of the
Senate, and until voluntarily declining—twice refus
ing to be Postmaster-General under Jefferson—never
taking any office but that to which lie was elected—
and resigning his last senatorial term when it was
only halt run. But a characteristic trait remains to
lie told of his military life—one that lias neither pre
cedent or imitation (tho example of Washington be
ing out of tho lino of comparison); lie refused to
receive pay or to accent promotion, ami served three
years aa a private through mere devotion to his
country. And all the long length of his life was
conformable to tills patriotic and disinterested begin
ning; and tliua tho patriotic principles of the future
senators were all revealed in early life, and in tho
obscurity of an unknown situation. Coniform ably to
this beginning, he refused to take anything under tiio
modern acts of Congress for tho benolit of the. sur
viving officers and Boldiers of the revolution, and
voted againBt them all, saying they had sntfered alike,
(citfzoiiH and military,) and ull been rewardedtogeth-
er in the establishment of independence ; that tho
debt to tho army had been settled by pay, by pen
sions to the wounded, by half pay and land to the
officers—that no military claim could be founded on
depreciated continental paper money, from which
tho civil fnnctlonarics who performed servico, nnd
tho farmers who furnished supplies, suilercd ns much
ns any. On this principle he voted against tho bill
for Lafayette—against a.l the modern revolutionary
pensions and land bounty acts—and refused to take
anything under them, (for many were applicable to
himself.)
His political principles were deep-rooted—innate—
subject to no change, and to no machinery of party.
Ho was democratic in tho broad sonso of tiio word,
aa signifying a capacity in tho people for self-govern
ment, and In its party sense ns iu favor of a plain
and economical administration of tho federal govern
ment and against latitudinarian constructions of the
constitution. Hu was a party man, not in the hack
neyed sense of the word, but only where principle
wore concerned, nnd was independent of party in
ail his relations, and in all the proceedings which ho
disapproved. Of tills ho gave a strong Instance in
the case of General Hamilton, whom ho deemed hon
orable and patriotic, and utterly refused to be con
cerned in a movement proposed to affect him per
sonally, though politically opposod to him. He ven
erated Washington, admired the variod abilities and
high qualities of Hamilton, and ostcomcd and re
spected tho eminent federal gentlemen of his timo.
lie hod affectionate regard for Madison and Monroe,
but Mr. Jefferson was to him tbo full and perfect ex
emplification of tho republican statesman. His al
most fifty years of personal and political friendship
and association with Hr. Raudolpu is historical, and
indissolubly connoctstheir names and memories in
tho recolloctin of their friends, and in history, if it
docs them Justice. Ho was tiio early friend of Gen.
Jackson, and Intimate with him when he was a sena
tor in Congress under the administration of the elder
Mr. Adams, and was able to tell Congress and the
world who no was when be began to astonish Europe
and Amorlca by his victories. He was the kind ob
server of the oondaot of young men, enoourogtog
them by jadiclous commendation when he saw thttn
making efforts to become useful and respectable, and
never noting their faults. He was just in dU things,
senator, and the refrwer of all offleo. Hdw ofton I
think of him when I see at Washington robustious
men going through a soono of supplication, tribula
tion and degradation, to obtain offleo, which the sal
vation of tho soul does not lmpoao upon the vilcat
sinners! His fields, bis flocks and his hords yielded
‘ ’ of domestic productions. A email
crop or tobaoco—three hogsheads when the season
was good, two when bad—purchased the exotios
Whloh comfort and necessity required, and which the
farm did not produce. He was not rich 5 but rich
enough to dispense hospitality and charity^to re
ceive all guests in his houso, from the President, to
tho day-laborers—no other title being nocessary to
enter nis houso but that of an honeBt man; rich
enough to bring up his family, (two daughters,) os
accomplished ladies, and marry them to accomplish
ed gontlomen—one to William Martin, Esq., the oth
er to William Eaton, Esq., of Roanoke, ray early
school-fellow, and friend for more than hair a centu
ry. And. abovo all, ho was rich enough to pay as he
went, anu novjurtt owe a dollar to any nmn.
He wassteadfastinhls friendships, and wonldstako
himself on a friend, but would violate no point of
public duty to please or oblige him. Of this, his re
lations with Mr. Randolph gavs a signal instance. He
drew a knife to defend him in tho theatre at Philadel
phia, when monaccd by sorao naval and military offi
cers for words spoken iu debate, and deemed offensive
to their professions ; yet, when Speaker of tho House
of Representatives, I10 displaced Mr. Randolph from
tho head of the Committee on Ways and Means, be-
oauso tho chairman of thnt committee should bo on
terms of political friendship with the administration,
which Mr. Randolph had then ceased to bo with Mr.
Jefferson’s. He was abovo executive offleo, even tho
highest the President could give—but not abovo tho
lowest tho people could give .taking that of justice or
the peace iu his county, and refusing that ol Post
master-General at Washington. Ho was opposed to
nepotism and all quartering of his connexions on tiio
government; and in tho course of his forty years’
service, with tho absolute friondsdip of many admin
istrations, and the perfect respect of all, ne never had
offico or contract for any of ms blood. Ho refused to
be a candidate for tho Vico Presidency, but took tiio
place of elector on the Van Buren ticket in 1830.
He was against paper money and the paper system
and was uocustomed to present the strong argument
against it in tiie simple pbraso, that this was a hard
money government, mado by hard money men, who
hid seen the evils of paper money, and meant to save
their posterity from ft. Ho was opposod to security-
ships, nnd hold that no man ought to bo entangled In
the affairs of another, and that tho interested parties
alone—those who expected to find their profit in tho
transaction—should bear the bad consequences as well
os enjoy the good ones, of their own dealings. He
never called any one “ friend" without being so; and
never expressed faith in the honor and integrity of a
man, without acting up to tho declaration when tho
occasion required it. Thus,in constituting his friend
Weldon N. Edwards, Esq., his testamentary and solo
executor, with largo discretionary powers, iio left all
to his honor, and forbid bim to account to any court
or power for tho manner in which he should execute
tbut trust.
Tliis prohibition was so characteristic, and so hon
orable to both parties, and has been so well justified
by the event, that I give it in his own words, as oopied
from his will, to wit: “Isubjoin the following, in
“ my own handwriting, as a codicil to this my last
“will and testament, and direct tlint it bo apart
“ thereof—thnt is to say, having full faith in tho lion*
“ or and integrity of my executor above named, lie
“ shall not be held to nccoant to any court or power
“wateverfor the discharge of the trust confided by
“ me to him iu and by the foregoing will.” And the
event has proved that his judgment, as always, com
mitted no mistake when it bestowed that confidence.
He had his peculiarities—idiosyncracies, if any one
pleases—but they were born with him, suited to him,
becoming in him constituting a part of his character,
and necessary to its completeness. Ho never sub
scribed to charities, but gave, and freely, according
to his means—the loTt hand not knowing what the
right hand did. He nevor subscribed for new books,
giving as a reason to tiie soliciting agent, that nobody
purchased his tobacco untlll it was inspected, and he
could buy no book until be had examined it. He
would not attend tiie Congress Presidential Cancus
of 1824, although it was to nominate his own choice,
(Mr. Crawford;) and when a reason was wanted, gave
it in tho brief answer, tlmt he attended one once, and
they oheated him, and he had said that ho would
never attend nnother. He always wore the same
dress—that is to say, a suit of tiie same material, cut
and color—superfine navy blue—the whole Buit from
the same piece, and in the fashion of the timo of tiie
revolution, and always replaced by n new one before
it showed age. Ho was neat in his person, alwnys
wore line linen, a flno cambric stock, a fine fur hat
with brim to it, fair top-boots—tho boot outside of
the pantaloon, on the principle that leather was
stronger than cloth. He would wear no man’s hon
ors, nnd when complimented on the report of tho Pa
nama mission, which as Chairman of tho Committee
on Foreign Relations, ho had presented to tho Senate,
he would answer, “ Yes : it is a good report; Taze
well wrote it."
Left to himself, and he was ready to take tho Inst
place and the lowest seat anywhere j but in Ills rep
resentative capacity ho would suffer no derogation of
a constitutional or of a popular right. Thus, when
Speaker of tho House, and a place behind tho Presi
dent’s Secretaries had been assigned him in some cer
emony, lie disregarded the programme, and as tho
elect or all the people, took bis place next after those
whom the national vote had elected. And in 1803,
on tho question to chango tiie form of voting for Pres
ident and Vico President, and tho vote wanting one
of the constitutional number of two-thirds, he resisted
tho rule of tiie House which restricted tiio bpcaker’s
vote to a tic, or to a vote which would make a tie,
claimed his constitutional right to vote as a member,
obtained it, gave the vote, mado the two-thirds, and
carried tiie amendment. And, what may well be
deemed idiosyncratic in these days, ho was punctual
in the performance of all his minor duties to the Sen
ate, attending its sittings to tiie moment, attending
all tho committees to which ho was appointed, at
tending all tho funerals of tho members and officers
of tho Houses, always in time at every place where
duty required him, when elected from tiio House of
Representatives to the Senate, orsummoned to,an ex
tra session. He was an habitual reader and student
of tho Bible, a pious nnd religious mnu, nnd of tiio
“ Baptist persuasion,” as he was accustomed to ex
press it.
I have a pleasure in recalling tho recollections of
this wise, just and good jman, nnd in writing them
down, not without profit, I hope, to rising genera
tions, and at least as extending tiio knowledge of the
kind of men to whom wo are indebted for our inde
pendence and for the form of government which they
established for us. Mr. Macon was tiie real Cincinna*
tins of America, tho pride and ornament of ray native
State, ray hereditary friend through feQr generations,
my mentor in tiie first seven of my senatorial and
tho last seven of his senatorial life ; and a fceeling of

Wnlt TUI You Find a Better.
There nre many persons, who, observing h6w fast
tholr neighbors make fortunes, grow discontented
with their own more slender profits. • Such individ
uals often clmngo their business in consequence, san
guine that a new one will prove more lucrative. Gen
erally they are disappointed. They do not understand,
in truth, tho new pursuit as welt os the old. Moi$-
over. they find that what looked so promising at a
distance, shows many a drawback on a nearer inspec
tion. The wisest plurl is to stick to tho business one
understands, or. nt least, to be certain that tho change
will be profitable. In other words wait till you find a
better.
The Bnrae advice will apply to those who think,
that, by moving to some other locality, they may
have more success. To go to the West, or to Cali
fornia, may bo an excellent tiling for many persons.
But the emigrants must be those who are suited for
new countries, or privation will bring on disease, if
not premature death. The life of a farmer on a prai
rie, with no notes to nay, and abundance nil around,
or that of a miner, digging up solid lumps of ore,
without toil or anxiety, appears delightlful, when
painted in words. But the reality is usually a very
different affair. Don’t be in a hurry, therefore, to
leave your business here, small as it may be. At
least be sure what you aro doing before you make a
change. Iu fine, keep to your present pursuit, till
you find a better.
Govern your intimacies by tho same rule. Old

Crops, Weather, flnln, tVc,
For tho week past we have had iu our immediate
vicinity, line seasons for tho maturing crops of corn
—for weeks previously tho showers were partial.—
lint now wo expect all of onr farmers have nnd quite
enough to answer the wants of their corn.
Cotton lias the best appearance we recollect ever
to have noticed at this season, should the rains con
tinue, however, wo have fears that it may not boar
well, and instead of maturing a full crop of early
bolls—run too much to weed.
Tho weather is exceedingly pleasant for July, and
our county, so far, has been unusually healthy. The
crops of Melons, Ac., are so abundant thnt wo fear
bad consequences from too great indulgence in this
favorite fruit, nnd wonld beg our readers to be pru
dent in this very important matter. Our town is
daily filled with cart loads of tho largest and finest
melons, however, and advice is thrown away against
the powerful attractions of their “ bleeding hearts."
The season of tho year is naturally warm enough,
without artificial heat, but we see signs of warm
work ahead for onr District and Gubernatorial candi
dates.— Albany (Go.) Courier. July 16.
Serious Accident.
Tho down stage on Saturday night was overset by
coming in contact with a stump on the road side, and
two of the passengers seriously injured-Col. Joseph
Rond*, of Macon, MaJ. Ward, of Florida, Mr. Thomas
Moughon and Mr. william Monghon, of Lee county,
escaped without little damage if any. Tho driver,
however, it is supposed^ had his shoulder dislocated,
and will likely nave considerable trouble with it.—
There was another passenger, from North Carolina,
whose name wo havo not learned, who was also con
siderably damaged by the turnover. Wo understand
lie returned to Americas, and is detained thore now
from his arm, which was fractured. We lmvo not
seen any of the passengers nnd therefore cannot
speak from satisfactory testimony, but it is rnmored
tlint there was “too much steam aboard,” for the
safe mnnmnvcring of tho craft.—-d/inny (Ga.) Cour
ier, July 16.
A Quick Cokfositor.—Mr. William Shaw, former-
York City Directory with a Bilver Cub, for having in
eleven dayB set a greater number of types than any
man engaged on tho work. The Directory is a large
work, and has to bo got np 1n a short space of time.
The publisher, to encourogo tho hands engaged, of
fered tho reward of a silver cup to tho compositor
who should setup tho greatest quantity of type from
the beginning to tho completion of tho Directory.—
Mr. 8. in tho timo stated above, set up 122,000 emB, -
being nearly 14,000 dally. His wages amounted to
forty-eight dollars. This is most extraordinary work,
and stamps Mr. 8haw as one of tho Now York fast
hands—an honorable distinction among the craft^-

I friends are generally the best. True, they may tres-
* pass, nt times, on your patience, either by pushing
their claims too far. by interfering in your affairs, or
by taking undue liberties, as old friends, even the
best, occasionally will. But the chances arc, if you
make a change, that you will not improve matters.—
Tiie ancient ties, like venerable roots, cling closer
than new ones, and may bo relied un, in tempests
thnt wonld tear up their younger rivals. If you are
wise, you will never throw off a friend, unless for the
grossest misconduct. Reflect how imperfect, at best,
is human nature, nnd wait till you find a better.
In social science also tiio rule will apply. Every
new scheme is not nscessnriiy a reform. Nor is it ni-
ways possible, oven where an evil is admitted, to find
nn immediate remedy. Visionary theorists thero ure,
indeed, who will tell you that they have a panacea
for every ill of society. But examine for yourself be
fore you act, and exumine thoroughly, not superficial
ly. It is easier to injure than to repair, to tear down
than to build up. Progress is the best of all tilings.
But real progress is one thing, stimulated progress
quite another. If, therefore, you aro asked to assist
in repealing any law, even one partially objection
able, consider well whether, on the whole,society will
be improved. If this is doubtful, bo Dot hasty, but
leave the law alone—wort till you find a better.
As thero nre always men ready'to tell you that so
ciety is out of joint, and tiiat they only possess tho
secret of ite cure, so there aro others who insist that
tho faith of your fathers is absurd, if not all religion
a delusion. It is the cant of tho day, among certain
Rhullow thinkers, to say that a man of sense will be
lieve nothing he cannot understand. Yot most men,
and invarlubly those of tho greatest intellect, believe
in eternity, though no human mind can really com
prehend what has neither beginning nor end. But
you need no argument for clinging to your faith.—
You never lost a parent, a child, or a wife, if you
have not found, that, iu tho hour of sorrow, religion
is tiie only consolation. All other props give way,
that alono sustains you. Mere philosophy can do
nothing for you when death enters your dwelling.—
Hold fast, hold fast to your religion, at least till you
find a better.
In the thousand exigencies of life, in your relations
to your.fnmily, to society, to those you do business
with, in everything you do, never abandon tho old
familiar way, until you have thoroughly explored tiio
new one, aud know it to be; superior. We do not re
commend a blind, stationary, stubborn, old-world in
activity. But neither would wo havo you rush into
error on the opposite side. In a word, never aban
don your present course in a hurry, but observe the
golden rule of waiting till you find a better.
Tho Iron Trade.
According to calculation in tiie Pittsburg Port, the
iron manufacturers of this country lmvo a sure de
mand before them of nearly $300,000,000 for fabrics
to bo turned out from their manufactories—a demand
that will require all, and more than all their capacity
to supply fast enough. The calculations upon widen
tiie statements nre based, is tiie extent of railroad
now in course of construction. With ono hundred
tons per mile, single track, it will require 1,300,000
tons of iron rail tu complete tho thirteen thousand
miles of railroad, either in progress, or which will bo
in progress ere long, including the Pacific railroad
At $50 per ton, this would require au outlay of $65,-
000,000 for siuglo tracks alone. But many of these
rends will bo double tracks, besides turnouts, Ac.—
Then follows a vast outlay for cars, locomotives, and
other iron works about such roods. And it may bo
fra'y e.-timated that all-tnelron for them will cost not
less than $150,000,000. Ocean and inland steamers,
iron ships, manufacturing machinery, iron buildings,
aud nil tho other innumerable uses to which iron is
applied, will require as much more; making an ag
gregate Bure demand for $300,000,000 worth of iron.
Besides which, many other railways will be chartered
and undertaken every year, to keep up a steady de
mand to that amount for many yeats to come; if not
a constantly increasing amount. With the high price
ot iron abroad and tiie demand at homo, tho iron
manufacturers have a tolerable fair prospect of profit
before them, without tho aid of legislation to help
them or their business, at the expense of other indus
trial pursuits^

itenmer Arabia.
“London, July, 2.—A telegraphic despatch an
nounces that n Russian corps of 12,000 men nad enter
ed Jassy, the principal town of Moldovia. This may
prove the sigual for a general war.”
A Swedish frigate arrived at Plymouth, England,
a few weeks since, from a voyage around the world.
She sailed from Sweden 1851, and, having touched at
Rio Janeiro and La Plata, passed through the 8traito
of Magellan in February, 1852. Sailing circuitously
through the Pacific, sbo visited Galiipagos, Panama,
tiie Sandwich Islands. Otahoite, San Francisco, the
Friendly Islands and Sydney. She was then steered
for the Indian Ocean. Leaving Australia, she direct
ed her course to the Carolines, tho Ladroncs, Canton,
Manilla, Singapore, Batavia, and the Mauritius. On
tho 20th April, 1853, she reached tho Cape of Good
Hope. Having sailed thence, sho stretched away to
St. Helena. On the 4th May, she took her departure
from that Island, and reached Plymouth on the 8th
of June.
A Pair of Old Colts.—About 6 o’clock last eve
ning tiie strange spectacle was presented of two re
spectable looking old gentlemen, between fifty and
sixty years of age. dressed in fine broadcloth, coming
down Cbambers-st. from tiie direction of Broadway,
with sticks for bits in their mouths, with strings at
tached for lines, held also by n fashionably dressed
gentleman. On arriving ot the Girard House, the
antic old covies were reined into the bar-room, fol
lowed by a great crowd, where, after being watered,
they were turned down tho street, and soon entered
a drinking saloon, where it is likely their old clay
was moistened ugain. Tho oldest occasionally cur
vetted like a young colt. The strange spectacle ex
cited a good deal of merriment and not a little dis
gust, tiie crowd having tho good taste to give the old
would-be homes, but real asses, a groan.—New York

MACON, JULY 20..—Cotton.—We raako no chango In
our quotations. There has been no sales of flno qualities,
which are held at 10Aft. Wequote from 7>» to 10>4 ex

AUGUSTA, JULY 10.—Cotton.—It is quite impossible to
give a satisfactory report of tho Cotton market to those
not on the snot to witness the state of things. Holders are
offering hut little, and are very firm In thoir asking rates,
but buyors do not manifest any intention to operate, and
in this state of things there is virtually nn market. When
sales ore mado. however, they are at almost the rates cur
rent a week ago—perhaps a shade lower. Tho foreign sc
counts now due aro looked to with great interest, as so
much depends upon peaco or war. 1

at above figures. In Spirits Turpentine we hear of nothing
doing. The market is quiet, and there seems to bo no buy
ers this morning; holders are firm In asking 30 cents per
gallon. Receipts fair, and good stock on market.
