I rise somewhat refreshed after a brief but sweet repose of three or four hours, having been up until a verylato hour lost night in atten dance upou one of the most costly and uiagum- cent balls ever given in tbo Southern country. It is estimated that tlioro were at loasttwo thousaud porsous in attendance, and among tbo number every slave State in tho Union wus rep resented by Homo of its fairest daughters and noblest sous. To attempt a minute description of tho ball room would be u task occupying more time than 1 urn allowed previous to tho closing of tho mail, and tar too much spaco, 1 am assured, for your little sheet. Some idea may bo formed of the splendor and vastuess of tho luto, when 1 inform you tbutits outiro coat to tho citizens of Savannah will not bo less tlinu $10,000, of which amouut, I un derstand Charles Green, Esq., of tho house of Andrew Low & Co., contributes $1800—ho Wiv ing agreed to rnako good uuy deficiency that might occur, utter nil tbo oilier subscriptions hod been paid in. No better or more uppro- ,riute spot could havo been selected than the mmcitso depot of the Georgia Central Railroad, for tills really splendid affair. Indeed there wus no other building in tho city that would havo accommodated tbo guests. Tho 11AU of tho Dopot is ono of the most costly and com- ? !eto l oversaw. The secretary uwt Treasurer's, resident und Superintendent’s oiflces,arokopt as nice, neat und clenu, as any parlor iu private mansions. Thcso served us reception rooms for ladies, where'shawls, hoods and wrappings were deposited, and wuoro tbo mirror was con sulted, liair udjusted, uud the sweetest uud most charming expressions of counteuauco assumed. On tbo reverse sido of tho spacious hall, was a room supplied with tonsoriul pro fessors,- who attcuded to tho hirsute appendages of tho gontlemen, received their hats, clouRa, shawls and overcoats, giving cheeks for the same, aud creating upou tho mind of tho visitor tho pleasant scusatiou that ho would certainly get his own property when bo thought proper to leave. Tho Ball Room wus over throe hundred feet in length and about 80 wide, docomted with tho flags of nil nations, und beariug upon its walls the names of every Slave Btuto in the Confederacy, luindsomely encircled arouudtbe coat of arms of tho respective State which it represented. Mottoes, emblems, cars in mo tion, ships with sails all set, und various other devices, etc., decorated the vast room. Under the coat of arms of Virginiu was paiuted iu a scroll the “Bauner Delegation," aud immedi ately over it was suspended a well executed and correct likeness of George Washington.— Every Virginian’s heart swelled with emotions of pride and patriotism, us he passed this por tion of the room, and observed the marked re spect which the Savuuuahians had puid to the ••Old Dominion," God bless her l The floor of the Hull was laid especially for this occasion, at a cost of some $400, and paiu ted in circles to tho number of seveuty-tlve —each circle accommodating a "set" in the dance. To tho left of the room a largo orches tra box had beeu erected in tbo form of a boat but elevated several feet, and underneath, the words, "Commerce und Manufactures, two of the chief elemeuts of a Country’s greatness." Auorchestra, numbering some fifteen members gave out excellent music for tho dance, while just opposite upou a platform, stood a noble mulatto, with a silver spcaklug-trumpet to his mouth, announcing the figures to tho hundreds who wero rapidly whirling through the giddy mazes of the dance. Add to all this 400 gas burners, introduced specially for the occasion, and shedding their brilliant light upou several huudred of tbo most lovely daughters of the South, escorted by as many noble gallants, and the reader may form some idea ot the beauty, the splendor, tho gorgeousness ot the scene. The Bupper was all that the most fastidious could desire. Wild and domestic fowl*, game of eveiy conceivable kind meats of the most tender and choice qualities, champagne,madolra and sherry wines, cakes, fruits, creams, ices, jellies, bon mots and candies were spread in the greatest prolusion. So very abundant had the Committee provided for this department, it was noted as a somewhat singular fact, that though the supper commenced at 11 o’clock, no man who called for any article on the table at three, failed to get it and that too in abun dance. The whole affair, viewed in any aspect, is an irrefragible evidence of the unbounded liberali ty and hospitality of the citizens oi Savannah, and will be recollected by all who witnessed or participated in the festivities of the occasion, to the latest period of their lives. fort were still burning, though tbs footsteps or passengers had died away for some time on its pavemont—when a young man approached the bridge from the town with hasty strides. At the suite time another tuaM, advanced iu years, was coiniug towards him from .Saobsouhauaeu, the woll-knowu suburb on the opposite side of the river. Tho two hid not yet met, when the latter turned from his path, and went towards the parapet, with the evident iuleution of leap lug from the bridge into the Main. ihoyuuuginan followed him quickly, aud laid hold of hiiu. •tflr,’Haiti ho, *1 thiukyoit want to drown yourself.’ • You think right, sir; but wliut is that to you?’ •Nothing at all: l was ouly going to ask you to do me tho favor to wait u few minutes, aud ullow me to Join you. I.a us draw close to each other,and, urmiu arm, take the leap togotlier. Tho idea of making the Journey with a perfect stranger, who has chanced to come for tho sumo purpose, is rcuily rather Interest ing. Indeed, 1 have uot experienced anything so excitiug forsome time; audl should not have thought that, iu my lust hour, so pleasant an occurrence would happen. Come, sir, for nmuy years I havo not made a request to any buniuu being: do not roitiao nit- thwuue, which must be my lust. 1 unsure you, i do uot remember buviug ever spent no many words about auy request whatever.' So saying, tho young mun held out his baud; bis companion took it, und ho tbcu uoutiuued, with a kind of enthusiasm, ,‘rJo be it: arm in arm—aud now lot us be quick about it; it is really cbormlug to feel u human heart near me in the3o lost moments, i do uot ask what you arc, good or bad—come, let us down.’ The elder of tho two,'who had at first been in ho great a hurry to uud his existvucu iu the waters ot tho liver, now restrained the impet uosity ot tho younger. “Stop, sir/' sun.' he, while Ids weary eye tiled to examine the features ot his companion us well tiH the flickering light m the uearest lump would allow him—"Stop, sir; you seem to be too young to leave life in this way. 1 am afraid youure committing a rash act; iura mun ot your years life must huve aill bright prospects.” •Bright prospects i lu the midst of rotten ness aud decay, falsehood and deceipt, vice and corruption!

But fur me. 1 have never told a falsehood iu my life, anal would uot, for anything in the world, enter upon the dark road with a falsehood upon my lips; aud, therefore, wheu I tell you that 1 am uot a viilaiu, as you seem to think me, but au boueat aud upright man, lam telling you the simple, unvarnished truth.’ •indeed?—that is interesting.

We hope the cause of this disappointment may be short in its duration, and thatnnder more favorable circumstances we may hear in M from the Doctor a dissertation upon o sub ject be is so competent to handle with ability and interest. Southern Conventions. Borne of our exchanges aro disposed to com plain that the late Southern Commercial Con vention accomplished little, and question tho propriety of future assemblages of the kltnl. Thoso who make theAn complaints, buso them upon radically false views. They mistake the scope of such meetings. They are disappointed, because their expections wero altogether Irra tional. The Convention has met and adjourn ed, and became it did not out of nothing pro vide the means of constructing steamships for two or three lines; did not raise money to ouild the Bonthern Paclilo Railway; did not estab lish manntacturea throughout the South; be cause in floe it foiled to do a half a dozen things which capital and time alone can do—wo are told that this gathering of a thousand delegates was, after all, but a "vain show.’’ These cavilers should remember that South ern Conventions have no panacea for Southern ills—no Morrison or Brandeth pill for tho South (to use the words of Carlyle) which ouco gulp ed down, all will go well—whether we sleep or wake. But we contend that short of furnishiug such a pill these assemblages are valuable. They are valuable for tho discussions which they cull forth, for the {information which they elicit, for the errors which the dissipate and the energies which they awaken—valuable for what they do and for what they fall to do. Why the decisive vote cast against tho re opening ortho African slave trade was worth all that the late Convention cost. Who does not know that much of the capital lately em ployed by the Northern free soil leaders for doping their Mowers and exciting sectional animosity, has been furnished them by the suggestion that the South was determined to go into the importation of slaves, from Africa. That cock will no longer fight. The nearly nnanimoos voice of the convention in the ne gative moat silence henceforth, as regards this point, all the Fremoutcra who have not adopted the motto that a lie well stuck to, is as good asthetrstb. Not leu important, as tho future will prove, was the letter or Seuator Toombs, called forth by the meeting of tho convention if aa ws believe, it shall furnish the basis of a new syitem or Southern financial legislation —valuable and far reaching in it&rcsults. And yet there were but incidents connect! sd with tbs late imposing assemblage in thii city. For the full fruit of its labors, M of those which preceded and those which art to follow (for others will assuredly follow) we most lobl; to after years. Koemth,by last accounts, was lecturing in Leicester, England, "on the General Political Condition of Continental Europe." His audi ences were at large and u respectable as usual. Koesoth’a next lecture would be delivered la Edlabarchi Extract of a letter from Liverpool, by the Africa, dated 28th November, 1856, received in Savannah: “ Wo again repeat that, onco wc have the promise of a liberal import our present curium cy will not bo maintained; some will hold, to wit: with money so stringent, and although the Bank returns arc moro favorable, high dis count rates still (aud must for some time) rule; diminished supplies will be met by reduced consumption, and this is already being resorted to extensively und threatens to increase with our moro limited selection.

(CONCLUDED THIS AFTERNOON.) Origin of the "Malaxoff.”—The antiqua ries of Sebastopol have madoa curious dw- covery. Everybody baa heard of the Malakutf bill upon which was built the tower, uow be come so famous. Such au immortality scarce ly xerned destined this name, which was that of a certain Lieut Malakoff, dismissed from the Russian Navy on account of Incorrigible drunkenness. Faithful to his passion, after his dismissal ho set up a grog shop on this spot, which was frequented by sailors. These latter, iu a fit of sarcastic gaiety, gave to the hill iu question tho name ot their tap-master, which, by the accident of a memorable Hicgc having taken place near tho spot, has now become immortal. The King of Denmark's lire says tho Berlin correspondent of the London Times, is worth a.very few years’ purohase, his tenure of the throne worth still fower, and there is every reason to make the many reports of his ap proaching abdication very probable. His heir, Prince Ferdinand, is already 04 years of S ;e. and if he mount the throne uud wio Id o sceptre conformably to the absolutist feel ings and principles ho is known to doomss, he will infallibly bring about a revolutionary cri sis.

A London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian writes: Lord Palmerston is. Iam happy to say, in excellent health, and in the best possible spirits. He is greatly pleased with the way tho pabllo have approved or the manner in which he ash exeiuiscd the unpar alleled amount of patrionage that has fallau Into his hands. A Yankee rather took down a cockney, the other day, by informing him that ir England were a steamboat, there are lakes in this coun try sufficiently large to founder her on. Cock ney said, "my hiei, vot a vopper!’’ and ad journed to takes mug of ’alfsnd "’air.” Underthe head of "Broken English,”a Par is paper places such Londoners as get mashed np by railroad collisions, or financially busted. A Sentiment.—The Ladies: May their vir tues exceed even the magnitude or their skirts while their faults are still smaller than their bonnets. The Washington correspondent uf tbo Penn sylvania Inquirer says that Speaker Biuka stood in bis plnuo and administered tho oath to Gen. Whitfield, while it is customary to des cend the steps and receive thu uew member in a less moral aud more courteous manner—ad ding : "fills, however, may lmvo arisen from the (act that, just before, Mr. Hanks had received a decided discourtesy from Mr. Houston of Ala bama, one of theacknowled Democratic* lenders and a gentleman who Is spoken of as likely to boa member of Mr. Buchanan's cabinet. The general iucliug of tho House and tho spcctutora on this occasion was decidedly iu favor of Mr. Banks, and Mr. Houston lost easto greatly by tho course ho saw fit to pursue.” Wc do not believe ono word of tho ubjve in relation to Mr. Houston—but thiuk it moro likely that Mr. Speaker Bank * should havo lost caste (if ho had auy to lose) for not having suf ficient of the propriety and courtesy of u^geutle- mau about him to perform grace fully in his pabllo character an act that was personally un pleasant to him. Even If Mr. Houston bad insulted Mr. Banks it was no reason for tho exorcise of discourtesy towards Mr. Whitfield. Tho facta of tho case, we suspect, are nimply these—Mr. Banks wus ill-tempered at Mr. Whitfield’s success, and was ill-manucrcd enough to show it.—[Eds. Q.&J. The Junior editor of tbeLouina Eagle, (Ala.,) of last week expresses himself os follows: The "Senior” uns gone on a bender this week so we (tho junior hereof) have everything our own way.

Sullivan, of Amerious, for uu excellent bottle of wine, manufactured by himself, from the dark variety of tho Scuppernong grape. Its flavor and body are good, its complexion at tractive. and its effects most salutary. Col. S. thinks this variety of grupo on many accounts superior to most others. It is a heo and sore bearer, ripens late, and is suited to almost any location, damp or dry. The grape culture in the South is likely to receive Increased attca* tion—AJsccfi Mtemger. And with what patieuce, what sweetness, what love, what perseverance l I see her sink ing under her toil und her deprivations, and uot a word of complaint escapes from her pallid lips. She works and starves, and still mis always a word of love, an affectionate smile for ner father.’ ' Sir, and you want to commit suicide! Are you mad V ,, • Dare 1 murder that augel ? The thought pierces my heart like a dagger,’ said the old mau, sobbing. 1 Sir, you must have a bottle of wine with me; 1 see a tavern open yonder. Gome, you must tell me your history; and, if you have no objection, I will then tell you mioe. But this much I may say at once—there is uo occasion for you to leap into the river. I am a rich, a very rich mau; and if things really are as you represent, >our daughter will uo longer have to work, aud you shall not starvo.” The old man allowed himself to be dragged along by his companion. In a few minutes, they were seated at a table in the tavern, with full glosses berore them, aud each examining curiously tbo features of tho other. Refreshed uud comforted by tbo efiecta of tho wiue the old man began thus: "My history is Hoon told. I am a mercantile uiuu; but fortune never favored me. 1 had uo money myself, uud I loved uud married a poor girl. I could never begin business on my own account. I took u situation as book-keeper, which I held until I became useless from age, uud younger mpn were preferred before me. Thus my circumstances were always circum scribed, but my domestic happiness was com plete. My wile was an anget of love, kindness and fondness, good und pious, active and af fectionate; and my daughter is the truo image of bur mother. But ago and illness have brought uie to the lust extremity, aud my conscience revolts against tho idea of the best child in tho world sacrificing her life for au old, useless fel low. 1 caunot have raucb.Ionger to live; and 1 hope tho Irerd will pardon me lor cutting off a few days or weeks from my life, in order to preserve or prolong that of my dear Bertha.” "You are a fortuimto mau, my friend," ex claimed tho young man; "1 havo never seen a moro fortunate one. What you call your mis fortune is sheer nonseure, and can bo cared at once. To-morrow 1 will make my will, and yon shall bo tho heir uf all my possessions, uud to-morrow night 1 will tako lire leap from the Mala llrucko alone. But before I leave this world, I must see your liorthn, for 1 am anxious to look upon ono who is worthy the name of a human beiug.” "But, sir, wlmt can have made you so un- happy at this early age?” said the old man, moved with compassion. ‘I believe it was my father’s wealth. Iam the only son of one of the richest bankers of Fruuklort i when I mention my name, yon will be ut once convinced of the truth of my asser tion. My father died five yaara ago, and left uio the heir to an immense fortune. From that moment, every one that bas come in contact with mo 1ms endeavored to deceive aud defrond mo. I was a child iu innocence, trusting and confiding; my education had not been neglect ed, und i possessed my mother’s loving heart. I endeavored to ussociute myself in a anion of lovoand friendship with good and generous jeoplc, but I found only hypocrites and impos- ors, who pretended trieudship for no other purpose than to partake of my wealth, and en joy themselves at my expense. My friends, or rather the villains whom I mistook for friends, aud to whom I opened my heart, betrayed me, add then laughed at my simplicity; but in time i gathered experience, und my heart was filled with distrust. I was betrothed to a rich heiress, possessed of all fashionable accomplishments i adored her with enthusiasm; her love, thought, would repay me for every disappoint- lUchardaon - meat. Butlaoouaaw she was nothing more than a proud fool, who wished to make me a slave, aud yoke all other men besides to her triumphal chariot. 1 broke off the engagement, and selected a poor but charming girl—a sweet, innocent being, aa I thought, who would be my life’s own angel. Alas! found her one day bidding adieu, with tears und kisses, to a youth whom she loved; she had accepted me for my wealth only. Uy peace of mind vanish ed; I sought diversion in travel; everywhere 1 found the same hollowness, the same treachery the same misery. In abort, I become disgnatef with life, aud resolved to put an end this night, to the pitiable force.' •Unfortunate young man.’ Mid the other, with tears or sympathy, ‘how deeply I pity you I I confess I have been moro fortunate than you. I possessed a wife and a daughter, who came forth pure and immaculate from the hand or the Creator. The one has returned to him in tne whiteness of her tool, and aowlUtho other.’ •Will you give-me your address, old rnao^hd K rmit me to visit your daughter to-morrow? it you must also give mo your word of honor that yuu will not Inform her, or insinuate to her in any manner whatever, that I am a rioh man.’ Tha old man bald out Ida bawd.
