And here, perhape, we should congratolate our neighbor* of the Republican upon tho success of their plans, and the gratification of their hopes. This Is duo to them, inasmuch as wo gavo utterance to our foreboding* of a disappointment on their part. Wo truly thought that tho man of thtir choice wonld not be tho opposition candidate for Congress. But wo underestimated their influence. The Convention called by that paper for the express purpose of nom inating Mr. Babtow, hat nominated him. They Wisely determined not to abide by the action of the previously called Union Convention—repudiated it in advance. And well they did—otherwise Mr. Loso would probably be their candidate. By calling anoth er, for a different day, and by proper efforts and man agement, they succeeded in getting together dele gates whose action was in accordance with their wishes. We can judge of their satisfaction in being able to announce Mr. Babtow, from our own, In put ting np the name of Col. Seward. People abroad, who are accustomed to sco candi dates classified according to their political relations; who daily read the announcement that Mr. A, Dem ocrat, has been elected, or Mr. B, Whig, or Mr. C, Abolitionist, will ask what is the position of Mr. Bab tow. la ho a Democrat, or is ho a Whig} is ho a friend or an opponent of the administration ? We answer, from his letter defining his position, no mor tal can tell what ho is. He says he will support tbo Constitution. But that no moro tells oa with what party be is connected, than the assertion of another that he believes in the Bible, Informs ns to what re ligious denomination he belongs. When we look fur ther to see who are his model statesmen, in tho hope of ascertaining what will be bis course, we learn that he intends to follow Washington and the Republi cans ! If, then, the federalists were right in claiming Washington as their great leader, Mr. Babtow Is a Federalist and a Republican both. But bo says be will not degrade himself by ” becoming a utclite of the Executive, or by making a factious opposition to its (hts) constitutional action." Did Mr. Babtow ever bear of a man who would not make that prom ise ? Why could ho not have informed os with which of the two parties in tho House of Representatives, be intends to connect himseir? But perhaps ho thinks eveiy body abonld be satisfied when he assures us that his " cardinal principle will be fidelity to the in terests of his own State.” Again, we ask, was there ever a candidate for office, who would not make the same promise 7 One thing we are indeed specifically told—that Mr. Babtow stands on the Georgia platform—as who does not? Certainly Gov. Cobb, Judge Lumpkin, Judge Jackson, all do—as erectly and firmly os Mr. Bartow ; and they arc the warm supporters of Judge Johnson, and of the administration. We believe in deed that Mr. Babtow was originally opposed to the construction of the Georgia platform. Now, though a stranger might find it difficult to uy, from the letter, what Mr, Bartow’s course will be, If elected, we feel no uncertainty on that point.— He makes no professions of independence that he would not probably have made within tho last ten years. Yet, during all that while, when Whig battles were to be fought, he has been among the foremost in the fight. And if elected, or, if not elected, the “ force of circumstances,” and of party drill, and per sonal associations, will make him oa much the oppo nent or Pibbcb’s administration m he was of Polk’s. No friend of the Democratic party, or of its princi ples, or of its President, can safely vote for him. John G. BrecVenrldge. The re-election or this gentleman in the Ashland (Mr. Cly’b old District) will give very general satis faction to the Democratic party. Tho contest has been most animated—bis opponent is a man of great popularity—and the district, nntil lately, has been decidedly Whig. Mr. Breckkkbidoe doubtless owes his success to bis extraordinary eloquence. A very iutelligent friend, himself* Whig, who was present at Washington at the time of the death of Mr. Clat, and beard the numerous addresses made on that oc casion in the two houses of Congress, says that of Mr. Breckenbidob was the finest of them all. The following notice of the canvass between Maj. Breckenbidob and bis opponent, Gov. Letcher, is taken from the letter of a Whig to the Erie Gazette. It is dated July 1st. u Letcher and Beeckenridge eanvau the district together, ■peeking one* and sometimes twice a day. I had often heard of Oor. Letcher aa an nnriraled ■ tump orator, but he moat be heard to be appreciated HU forcible style and manner, and bis Inexhaustible fund of anecdote, are lnlml- table, and the effect upon a promiscuous crowd ludescrlba- ble. He Isa perfect veteran in the Whig ranks. Although I can seldom see anything in a Democrat I can approve, much lesa applauded, l am eonitralned to aajr that Major Breekenridge U one of the most gifted men In the nation, Ha is vtrjr youthful In appearance; tall and commanding, with black hair and fishing eyes, I1U gestures are rapid and graceful, hU language pure and impaaiioned, and in •very respect he U certainly a model of beauty, manliness and eloquence. I have heard many speakers, from Daniel Webster down to sealous Democratic leaders in Erie, but for pure. soul-stirring eloquence, John 0. Breekenridge stands unrivalled. Were he a Whig, he would certainly be worthy to wear the mantle of Henry Clay." V Detabtubb op the AuoustA.—-The U. B.M.steam. ship Augusta, Capt.

Corroipomlence of tho Savannah Dally Georgian. Ktr West, Fla., August 4th, 1&53, Messrs. Editors ;— 1 The steamship Isabel to-day affords na the last opportunity of communicating with your paper until the 22d of October next, when she will again bo on her old and well beaten track. She goes through to New York,and will layup in that port and receive such repairs as are. found to be necessary. The mail, during her ab sence, will be brought in pilot boats—the famous Eclipse, of Chsrleeton, bringing^ the mail of the 15th. We pre sume that she will touch at your city, and wo hope to got our accustomed bundle of exchanges from your office by her. If there should be any other opportunity of commu nicating with you we shall avail ouraelvea of it, provided the news be of sufficient Importance. Our city remains perfectly healthy: we hear of no sick ness*. From the abundance of rain that has fallen, fears were entertained that fever would break out in July and August, but the health restoring qualities of this climate forbids tho pretence among us of any epidemic. The gener al use of rain water is probably one great cause of our re markable healthinesa. Every house ia provided with a cittern or tank, and the water being free from impurities, and not subject to deterioration by vegetable decomposition cannot contain tho seeds of disease. The mortality among children, at the north, is frightful—indulge 1 with all kinds of luxuries, unripe fruit, and half-decayed vegetables—not one child in ten arrives st ths age or five years. With us, if sn Inrant survives nine days, we considsr them safo, with ordinary prudence, for thirty years. Many Infants dio with the lock-jaw, a disease peculiar to children in the south ; but tho mortality will bear no comparison to that among children of the samo age at the north. The ship Marathon, Pepper, late a wreck on the Quick sands, has completed her repairs, and has commenced load ing. The case has been hrard by the Judge of the Admi rably Court, and the liberal salvage of 13,500 awarded to tho sloop Mystic, which assisted her o(Y, and brought her to port. Tho bark Robert Morris, Capt. Daniel Downs, on her voy- age from Cienfuegos to Ph ladelphta, ran ashore on the Pel ican Shoal, the morning of the 23d ult.. and took assistance from tho wrecking vessels as soon as it a as offered. A por tion of the cargo was got out dry. before the vessel bilged which she did on the morning of the 23d ult. The small boat* from thla city succeeded in raising about *700 worth of the wet sugar, and the materials, and anchors, etc., of the bark, all of which have been sold including the dry sugar, which waa sold yesterday. No decision has aa yet been made by the Court in this ease. It will take aome days to wind up her business. The consignee is A. F. Tift. The Isabel anw. early In tho morning of her arrival, a French brig ashore, on the reef near Indian Key. She had been but a short time ashore, as no wreckers were near tier.

IJjxbvillb, August 3,1853. Pursuant to notice, one of the largest political meetings ever gathered in this county, assembled to-day in the Court House, for the purpose of (electing candidates for the Legis. lature. and ratifying those alreadv made by the State and District. On motion of Col. Gauldon, Dr. R. Harms was called to the Chair, and W. UcoBm, Jr., appointed Secre tary. The object of the meeting having been stated by the Chair, Henry H. Jones, Esq., rose and submitted the follow ing preamble and resolutions: Whereas, the present anomalous condition of polities In Georgia, presenting an array of fraudulent issues, clap-trap pretexts, and petty intrigue, never before witnessed, de mands that the true chart and landmarks of Democracy be kept beforq tho people; and whereas, the Democracy oi Liberty are anxious to record their testimony In behalf of those imperiihablo principles, whose fruition have illustra ted the annals of American greatness, be It Hexolved, l»t. That we will not recognise, but do utterly ignore the existence of any cause or causes for the forms- tlon of Union or sectional parties at the present juncture. And in view of the fraternal and happy relations which now subsist between the North and South, would deprecate such efforts as not only inexpedient, but sinister in design, and Insulting to the good sense of the country. Hesolted. 2d. Thatwereg*?* the snppcrt or mt support of the present able and republican administration as the true touchstone and test ot party, and are forced to classify the latter category of Individuals under wbatevensomeu- clature found, whether as Whigs. Union man or Conserva tives, as occupying the attitude of political opponents and foes. HcsoIeeLSd. That the Democracy of Liberty, utterly ob livious to the differences of opinion which temporarily divi ded them in 1850 and ’61, are now willing, and do pledge themselves to stand abouldtr to shoulder In defence of their common creed, and in the present campaign will spare no honorable exertion to aehlevo the triumph of our distin guished nominees, H. V. Johnson and James L. Seward, iSuteei. 4th. That we do congratulate the first Congres sional District upon the happy solution of those, difficulties which threatened to distract and dismember our ranks, and that we are deeply sensible of the magnanimity and for bearance of our worthy fellow-citizen, Col. Gaulden, who refused the use of his name before the Convention, to se cure the unity and harmony of the party. Hesotwd, 6th. That in our local and county nominations, it is the duty of the minority to submit, with good grace, end wlthoot reluctance, to the clearly ascertained will ot the majority, and that the integrity of the party should not be endangered by the egitation of irrelevant and foreign questions. Besotted, lastly, That the Democrats and eHlzans of Liber ty county generally, are the staunch partisans and uphold ers of the great cause of temperance, and on all suitable occasions, and where no constitutional Impediment super venes, are willing to lend It their hearty aid and sanction. And with this avowal, we do trust that oor frieods will rest eontsnt, and thus prevent this and all other controvcrslM from assuming the magnitude of distinct issues, at the cost of dsfeat and humiliation to the Democracy. After concluding Ute reeding of the resolutions, the same having been seconded. Mr. Jones advocated thsm et length, with great earnestness and animation, urging the propriety of adopting a platform of principles as an examplo for other counties, daring this period when political affinities appear so unsettled. He also dwelt forcibly upon the necessity of encouraging harmony In our ranks, In order to ensure sue- ■eesa, by the exclusion of all local and foreign questions. By consent, the resolutions were then postponed for the present, end on motion of Hon. Charlton Hines, it was re solved that the meeting proceed to ballot Ant for a Senator to thy State Legislature. Tellers having bsee appointed, tbs result was announced by the Chair as follows i O. B. Jones, Esq , received 40 votes, and Capt, Abtel Winn 25— thus was the former gentleman duly nominated for tbeoT. Ion of Senator. * Hon. Chariton Hines then moved that Capt. William n.

The delegates from Thomas county to the lato Annual- Meeting nr the Stockholders or the Brunswick and Florida Railroad Company, having made their report to this meet- Ini. Hi. Resolved, That the thanks of tho meeting bo tendered to the delegation for the satisfactory manner in which they hare discharged the duties imposed upon them. Resolved, That * this meeting entertain full and abiding cnnfldonce In the good faith of the Northern Directors and Stockholders, and are fully satisfied that under the control of tho present able and well-selected Bourd of Director*, and the co-operation of their experienced and energetic Contractors, this work will be earned to completion in full compliance with existing contracts, and probably In less time than any work of like magnitude has ever been accom plished in our country. Resolved, That in this enterprise, wo have a sure guaren* ty that Southern and South-western Georgia are soon to assume that position of equality with tho most favored portions of our “Southern Empire State." to which it is fully entitled, from the fertility of its soil, tlio extent of its resources, and its natural capacity to support In comfort and plentv a full and thriring population. Resolved, That we most cordially extend to our slktcr State. Florida, the assurance that we shall offer no opposi tion to any enterprise which she may undertake, but shall be much gratified at tho adoption of any plan which may induce concert of action—advance our mutual interests and strengthen tho bunds of social and commercial union between us. and obliterate all lines of dirislous except that irasginary line which the wise men of both States have aa yet been unable to find. Resolved, That the Directors he requested to carry on the operations upon the whole line of the road as speedily as possible, and that we assure thepi that a largo portion. If not all the route, can be put under sub-contracts os soon as thry are ready to let It out. Resolved, That the pledges made in June. 1852. to the Northern Stockholders on our behalf should and must he redeemed, and to that end our fellow-cltizens are urged to come forward at once, and do now, and at once, what thei are able to and intend doing In taking tho amount of stocl set aside for them. Judge Hansel followed the reading of these resolutions by a speech in which the large auditory were very much de lights 1 and Interested. Col. N. \Y. Collier, of Baker, presented tho following re solution as nn amendment to Judge Hansel’s resolutions, seconded by Col. Tift, and accepted by Judge Hansel, which is a* follows : Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, it is desirn- bis that the road from Albany shall connect with the main trunk at Tliomasvllie, nnd that it saves several miles of road and a heavy expense, while at the samo time it will be a long and Important link in the route from the Gulf of Mexico to tl.e interior of Georgia—will bo a convenient point of connection with both ends of the Brunswick nnd l’onnsacola road, and with St. Marks, and passing through a more favorable country, will draw to the road a much larger amount of freight nnd travel than a brancli road from any other point. < ol. Collier followed the reading of these resolutions by a speecli uf aome length. The Colonel was verv fortunate (a the delivery of his speech, which no doubt, told well on the audience, and will bo remembered for time to come. Tito resolutions offered by Judge Hansel, and amonded by Col. N. W. Collier together with the report of the dele gates, was unanimously adopted. Col. Baker, from Florida, was called for, and responded in a vi-ry appropriate speech, full of good sense, fol. Uaker is a yonng man. a member o' the Florida Bar, nnd while ho was speaking we woro proud to remember that ho was a native of Liberty county, Georgia. Col. Tift, from linker, was next called for. Col. Tift is well known in south-western Georgia, and hefully sustained his reputation os a practical business man, nud a forcible and sensible reasoner. Judge Mays, from Madison county, Florida, was called out. Tho J udge is well known as a forcible and ready speak er. and really the friends of the B. aud F\ Railroad fouml in the Judge'a worthy advocate. A* a Floridian, he was, as a matter of courc. in favor of having a railroad running through the State, which, at no distant day, he Imped to see In complete operation. But, ss a true-hearted son of the South, he could but wish us well nnd bid us God speed. Colonel Seward r.poke in conclusion: his speech was short, but he nevertheless brought out some facts which could not foil to have their effect. The Colonel had taken n peep Into the tax digest, and from that be learned that tho citizens of this county had some considerable money at iuterust, and urged upon the mouoy holders to coino up at onre and subscribe tho amount of stock requisite. Letters were received from several invited guests from abroad, to wit: Gov. Brown. Col. George T Ward, and I). S. Walker, of Florida ; Mr. Bloom, of Macon: Col Nightin gale. Jas R. Butts, Faq., I*. Trucy, Esq., Dr. Robert Collins, and W. W. Cheever. Esq. A sumptuous dinner was prepared by tho citizens of Thomas county. Thero was near seven hundred feet of ta ble which groaned under tho substantial* of the land.— Your officers are delighted to say that tho meat* were well done, nnd everything reflected much credit on the energy and promptness with which tho committee of arrangements had discharged thelc duty. Tho drought has prevailed to an alarming extent, and crops aro snort, but our citizens has in this given but an other Instance of their willingness always to do that which duty requires, no matter how great the saffiilce.

Certain Core fbr the Bite of a Rattlesnake. Mr. Editor :—Sir. I have Just been Informed by a friend (whose veracity it unimpeachable) of amic able antidote for the bite ot that venomous reptile, the rattlesnake; his words as near as my memory serves me, are as follows: In the year 18*, I lived in S n county, Georgia, and as I was teaching School, I had to walk some two miles to the Scnoolhouse every dny, twice at least, and knowing that tho rattles were plenty, 1 generally took good care to " look before I leaped.’ One day I chanced to meet the Deputy Sheriff of the county, who saw my anxious looks on each side the path, and asked tho reason. On being told, ho ex- olalmud, La! you needn't bo afeardif you'll get this staff. What is it, said I ? Hartshorn, says he.

The meeting would have passed off qnletly and pleasantly but far occasional shower* of rain. Tho amount or stock waa Incroaiod to $125^00. Mr. Bos ton, tho Agent, Informs us that Botno ten thousand dollars have been subscribed since ths meeting, leav ing W4^00 yet to be subscribed by Thomas county, which amount he thinks will soun be taken.

Thotnoa county stands pledged for 9200,000, unon that amount or subscription being secured tho road to ThoinuHvillo Is secured. It was intimated in the meet- lug on Thursday,by someone,tbatuulcssthl*&monnt was subscribed by Thomas slio might bo passed by yet, as strong inducements would be hold out from another quarter. Baker county stands pledged for 1300,000. Thomas county is able to subscribe 09 much as Baker, and yet Bakerhas already the sum of 1215,000 subscribed. Now the fact is, the people of Baker have gone to work as men should in such matters. Their connection with tho port of Brunswick depended upon the raising of this amount, they felt, doubtless, that unless they did raise it, they could uot hope to sccuro the connection. Not so with many In Thomas. Meu of largo means have stood back, and with few execu tions the 9124,500 already made up, have been sub scribed by meu of moderate moans. If our capitalists had bceu prompted by the same motives as were our Baker friouds the whole amount of the $200,000 would havo beou subscribed long since. But no. The opin ion has prevailed that the road would certainly be completed to ThoraaHville.nnd that opinion may nave prevailed with some that it would run through Thom as whether her citizens subscribed oue dollar to the stock or not. True, the line hu been surveyed to this place, but since then things have been isomewbat changed—wo aro likely to have a rival in another quarter. Then it behoovcB us to look about ub, aud see where we staud. If the amount for which tho county stands pledged should not be made up, are the com pany under any obligations to us, is a question which should address itself to every citizen. Ami if induce ments aro held out hi another quarter aud the com pany Hud it to their interest to change the route, aro they under any obligations to Thotnu ? Should the pledge be redeemed, however, thou the company are bound to bring the road to Tboraasville, ana will do u. We are glad to believe that the eyes of many have been opened by tho proceedings on Thursday, aud that many who, previously manifested little or no Inter est in the matter, begin to aco and to feel tbo impor tance of doing something. The Expense of Travelling the Panama. Route. The pzsscngers on the John L.

The original statements were in £ sterling, which I reduced to 5. at the rate of five dollars to tbe pound. Insurances Auroad. in 1850—The amount of Life Insurance effected in British offices was 5750,000,000; of Fire Insurance, 53,005,432,005; and ot Farming 8toek*5309,027.135. There were 121 Insurance Com panies, whose accumulated funds amounted to 5405,- 000,000. In Franco, ths Fire Insurance in thirteen companies oxcceded 51,814,000,000, and tho yearly premiums 54,187,500. In all tho French companies the Fire In- ranees amounted to $0,500,000,000. Iu Germany, twelve Life Insurance Companies had insured 535.000,000, their annual income being 51,- 005,000; and the Fire Insurance Companies had in surances for 54,075,000,000. The largest Life Insurance Company in tho world, as to number of members. Is the Gotha of Germany, being fifteen thousand nolicy holders; and the largest as to accumulated capital, is the Equitable of Lon don, which has been in existence about ninety years. The Equitable recclvod, during a period of eighty- six ypars, premiums nnd dues to tho amount of 595,- 338,180, which accumulated at compound interest to such an extent, that the Company 1ms been cnnbled to pay out 5120,683,180 to families of deceased mem bers and other policy holders; nnd for expenses 52,091,180, retaining In hand an accumulated fund of 544,000,000 to meet running policies and claims out standing to the amount of 570^00,000.

There is one grand-looking old msn, with a bounteous white beard, who is said to do a great business In the saint ly or patriarchal line. He is a multitudinous Moses, an Inexhaustible St. Joseph, and the pictorial stock Peter of many seasons. There ia also a powerful, handsomo. dark and torriblo looking fallow, who does the brigand and bravo. " Theso various candidates for artistic favor seem to have tbe most social and agreeable relation with each other. Indeed, I have romnrkod tho patriarch chattering and laughing with tho brigand in a famil iar manner, scarcely iu keeping with bis venerable character. But let an artist or two ascend tbe steps, girls cease their idle look archly or roourn- „ with closped hands modestly contemplate tho pavement; the pretty pea sant woman snatches up the baby she bad left to creep about at Us own sweet will, and bends over it, tender and Madonna like ; while, at tho word from her. skin-clad littlo shepherd boy drops his game of catoli-penny, and takes up his role or St. John.

A writer in Blackwood’s Magazine comes down upon tho over-prudent men or the day in the follow- iug style; " We have no hesitation in saying, that wo consider that tho man who does not expend moro than half bis income as a caitiff and a load. How he expends it, is altogether a different question; but, except iu the way of gross immorality, we are decidedly of opinion that a liberal scale of expenditure is a public blessing.

The Fever. The bills of mortality tell their own story—and a frightful one it Is. When wo remember that half the unacollraatcd have left the city, and that this class of our population is reduced to probably less than fitly thousand souls, a daily record of over one hundred deaths is a fearful thing to contemplate. We tuko it that the sciolists in metilclno, and chatterers about words, will now cease their meaningless discussions touching the oxistcnco of the fever na an epidemic.— When a disease carries off more than one per cent. r icr week of the population subject to it, we should magine that its ravages might reasonably bo termed '• epidemic,” and that without any curious display of etymological science in investigating the precise de rivation of the term, but taking it in its ordinary and well understood acceptation. From tho evidence before us, wo conclude that the Fovcr is gradually widening ils area. It is now to be encountered wherever the unaccllmnted abound, though still most of tbe ratal cases occur in the Third and Fourth Districts. It cannot continue much long er at the pitch of intensity which now marks It. Eve ry day witnesses tho departure of hundreds whom ter ror at the unparalleled mortality drives away. In a faw days ail who are mi seasoned to the climate, and who can possibly quit the city, will have left. The pestilence must then abate for want offuel. There is another chance for us. Epidemics invariably run a certain course. Thoy have their periods of com mencement, incrcaso, climax, and gradual decline, and disappearance They last from six to nine weeks. A Ircady the feverhas been amongst us since the be- ginuingofJuly.if not earlier; we therefore feel a moderate confidence that it will leave us by tho end of August.—N. O. Bee, 15Ih. 8e« Sickness. A writer in the London Timu, says:—'" Having noticed in the public Journals a recent instance of death fiufu ■«& elckuess, under very painful circum stances, I am induced to hope that the mention of a remedy which was entirely successful in a case which came under my own observation, may be useful to other sufferers from this distressing malady. A lady of my acquaintance was landed at the Cape or Good Hope, on her voyage home from India, in such a deplo rable state of debility and exhaustion from sea sick ness, that she was obliged to be carried into the bouse by meu, and would have died if the ship had been a week longer at sea. The dangor of renewing the voyage under such circumstances was very groat, but a simple contrivance onablcd her to continue it, aud to reach England in perfect health. A swingiug cot was constructed, witn a top or frame over it, fitted with curtains, bo a3 effectually to srccen tho deck over ii-ad, and other parts of tho vessel, from tho view of tbe recumbent invalid. The motion of the vessel was hus rendered imperceptible, and the invalid being relieved from the dizzying effects or tbe vessel ap- tearing to roll ono way and tho cot tho other, no ongcr felt any nausea or inccnvonlenco. She soon ;ained sufficient strength to leave hor cot for short .eriods, except in bad weather, and the confinement melt as it was, was a trifle compared to that which -arsons who have lost or dislocated limbs, are com* •ellodto endure in pain for months. At all events, ife was safed and health restored by this simple means. « Old Inoot.”—Tbo Philadelphia Inauirer ears: rkomna H. Benton Is now 71 years old.

They had not been buried; Good Manners. Tho good sound sense of the subjoined extract should recommend it to the attention of all those who are in any way entrusted with the carooryonth : " It is a matter of sound policy to cultivate tbo manners of our children. For gentle manners, and a kind and obliging address will do more to gather around ns firm and enduring friends, than strength of mind and superiority or attainments. The man ners to which wo refer, are tho fruit of the cultivation of tbe mind and heart; the outpourings of benevo' lence, sincerity and inward purity. In all the depart ments and professions or life, we prefer, other things being equal, to avail ourselves of the services of per sons of agreeable und obliging manners. They are coin of great intrinsic value, and everywhere current. Wo may be allowed to glance at some of tho features of good manners, such as wc desire to have taught and practised in our schools, and such ns all persons in well ordered society aro bound to observe. The conventional rules of society aro not arbitrary enact ments, which any who choose havo a right to set at defiance. They are essential to the maintenance and enjoyment of social interreourse and the further ance of its highest ends. Every person who enjoys the privileges and benefits ol society is morally bound to observe its wholesome rulos. Ill brooding Ih a Hin against good morals, as well os n breach of social lawn. No person has any right to act the clown in well ordered society, or to be unkind and offensive, setting at defiance the laws made for its convenience and comfort by common consent. Tho lending fea ture of good manners is a scrupulous observance of all the rules that regulate social intercourse. Let the pupils of our scoots be required to observe them iu their intercourse with each other and their teachers, and upon nil other occasions. Many of these rules abstractly considered arc littlo things ; nnd yet In their influence upon the convenience nnd pleasure of social intercourse, they arc great things. A particle of dust is ARmal! thing, vet in the eye which it irri tates, it becomes a great In Us Influence. So infringe ment or tho roles of good breeding may bo of itself of small moment, but it often become important in the friction and irritation which it produces in social intercourse.” _ Texas 8ai.t.—Tho New Orleans Picayune has re ceived from Corpus Christ! a sample of salt, taken from a salt lako about seven miles from that place.

Pcgar—We have to report a little more activity this week iuour Sugar market, holders appearing more willing to sell. The demand la at present principally confined to the inferior grades, while fo yellows and whites tbe opera tions are very limited.

Iu bfusenvadoes there is nothing doing, holders refusing to sell at a lower figure In the hope of a better demand from tbe United States later towards tho fall. The arrivals of Sugars from the country continue to di minish. Molasszs has declined. A few small lot* hare been sold fo this port at IK rials per keg, and 300 hhds st an oatport at IK rials per keg of 6# gallons. The greater part of the dealers however refuse to aell at lower than 2 rials. , Ricx—Tho cargo of the brig Somers has been sold st 12 rials srrobe.
