MAN AND MONEY.
Mr. Editor: Is there any thing that ex
erts a greater influence with man than mo
ney] I think not. In.casting our eyes
around, and in viewing the situation of men,
do we not see in money, the cause that pro
duces such powerful effects, in this as well
os in other communities; —effects that almost
stop the intercourse between man and man,
thereby leaving no ties to bind us together,
except the common business transactions of
life, which in my estimation do not have any
influence upon us longer than we can bene
fit ourselves by such transactions. I think
this great zeal for the accumulation of wealth
is wrong—do not understand me to mean
that men should not be industrious, and ac
cumulate enough to insuie themselves and
families against want —No, that is not my
meaning. 1 mean this, that men should not
devote all the powers of their minds both
moral and intellectual to the accumulation
of wealth, which cannot insure them happi
ness either here or hereafter.
1 would rejoice to see every man in our
community in the possession of a compe
tency; but I would not rejoice to see every
man wealthy. Why is it that there is so
little inteicourse with persons living in the
same community I Is it because their fami
lies are in so destitute situations as to re
quire their whole time as well as energies,
to secure to them the common comforts of
life. I think not, but I believe it to 1h; their
overreaching spirit for dollars and cents.
Ask them why they make such exertions to
accumulate dollars and cents, and they will
tell you, it is for the benefit of their children.
Weil, it may he, that they are striving to se
cure for their children a patrimony, but 1
think in many instances, it is t 1 eir ambition
to he considered wealthy. It they are ma
king such exertions for their children, why
do they not during their lifetime let the chil
dren enjoy the benefit of their labor] \V by
Hot give the children a portion of their pro
perty! But no, this will not do; the chil
dren must wait until death takes from among
them their parents; and then in their reck
less eagerness to follow in the footsteps ot
their departed friends, in the. securing of
this world’s goods, they fix their eyes upon
their polar star, (dollars and cents) varryitig
neither to the risjht nor to the left, for the
purpose of securing the confidence or es
teem of their fellow traveller; hut keeping
their eyes, soul, and mind constantly fixed
upon their star; and they march on in their
miserable course, with greater eagerness as
they approach nearer and nearer the idol of
their heart; until at length disease lays hold
on them; and presently death claims the un
happy being for its own. Thus, I have no
doubt, many men make their appearance
upon this earth, act their part, disappear,
and are consigned to their long resting place
without exciting the sympathy of the com
munity in wiiicli they lived, or, without one
friend, to moisten with a tear the sod that
covers them. SPECTATOR.
Augusta, April 28, 1842.
Tu Mister C. R. Hanleiter,
up in Madison :
[I send this by Thuel Bigalow, so ’twont
cost you no postage, nor me nother.]
I got by chance tu read your Suthern Mis
cullanv tother day, and I was so tickl’d with
it that’l could’t quit readin it, till I’d read
the whole consarn—advertisements and all.
I noticed, among other things, you wanted
folks tu write pieces for your paper, about
cnamost evry thing ’cept politics and them
sort of things. Now, says I, who knows Jo
tham but there’s a chance for you tu stick a
word in edgeways—and wouldent it tickle
the old man tu see my name in the nuspa
per. True, says 1,1 dont suppose I’m any
great scratch at making varses; but 1 guess
I know some things as well as other folks,
about agricultur.
I was brot up in the town of Weathers
field, in the State of Connecticut; and old
deacon Bradley used tu say agricultur was
bred and born somewhere about in them
parts —and sometimes he’d say he’d seen
him.
I cant swear tu every thing the deacon
used tu tell, but I do know, he could raise
a leetle the biggest onions, and the most on
em, of any other man this side of sundown.
Now deacon Bradley had three as pretty
gals as ever trod shoe leather; it would
raelly du a man good, to see them out of a
pleasant rnornin, jist a leetle before sunrise
a weedin onions. I used to fancy the on
ions grew as fast as they could, cause, they
wanted tu git a little nearer their pretty
faces. 1 did wish sometimes I was an onion
bed myself, so I could be wed by them
gals.
i worked for the deacon a good deal, be
fore I hired out tu Bildad Cook, to peddle
clocks, and other notions, and he said him
self liefore I left him, that there warnt no
man in Connecticut understood farm in bet
ter than I did—present company always
excepted—and now if you think my writin
will pass muster in your paper, I promise
you now and then a chapter on agricultur —
odd traits of character —queer scenes, &c.
&c. JOTHAM HOTCHKISS.
P. S. I ha'nt got time tu write much
this morning, for I’m going down town, to
sell a tavern keeper a receipt for killin bed
bugs—there plagy thick—and he’s in a tar
nal hurry.
Print, alter, or bum, as you please, but no
ridicule—unless you are piepared tu take a
hug with old Bruin in the back yard.
JOTHAM.
Conundrum. —Why is a newly married
man like a clean bed of onions in Weathers
field I La, Jothain, aint it cause he’s jeist
hcen teed by a girl.
He hath no leisure who useth it not.
MADISON, GEO:
Tuesday'_3?lay 3, 1813.
OUR TOWN.
It isnaturalfora polite stranger tospeak in
favorable terms of a town in which he finds
himself, whether it really deserves any com
pliment or not; and he usually expresses
himself highly pleased with a people among
whom he happens to be thrown, so long as
he remains with them, whether they are re
markable for their good qualities or not.
Whether this is according to Chesterfield,
or Paley, or Mrs. Opie, we shall not now
stop to determine. We would only observe,
that among the travelling multitude who
visit us, we never hear a remark that is not
expressive of a high opinion of the appear
ance of our town, and the character of its
population; and where, among so many, the
terms in which we are spoken of are inva
riably so flattering, it must follow that we
are entitled to our good name. We may
speak a little partially, but we fully concur
in the higest encomium which has been be
stowed upon Madison. We do not believe
there is a town in our State of the same
population, that is its equal in generosity,
hospitality, refinement, and wealth; in the
harmony and enjoyment of social inter
course, its morality and peaceable good or
der, the honor and integrity of its men of
business, its schools, its churches, its health,
the taste and elegance of its dwellings, and
last, which should he first, the amiability,
refinement, and beauty of its ladies! And
we hope our friends in the town and coun
try will come to our aid in making our pa
per such a publication as will add to our
high character. To those who are desirous of
settling with their families in a town, afford
ing agreeable society, health, and advan
tages of education, few places offer greater
inducements than Madison. And we con
fidently assure those who may have any
such intention, that should they settle in our
town they would never have cause for re
gret, but on the contrary, would congratu
late themselves upon their good fortune.
The three leading religious denominations
of the State have now each a commodious
house of worship—the new one, recently
erected by the Presbyterians, is nearly com
pleted, and will be dedicated in the course
of the present month. The building is
small but a beautiful specimen of architec
ture, and will receive a more particular no
tice when completed. Connected with our
churches are flourishing Sabbath schools,
the real hope and dependence of any com
munity. Temperance has for some time
attracted public attention, and a society
recently formed upon the principle of entire
abstinence is fast increasing its number. So
good a cause commends itself to our philan
thropy and magnanimity, and should secure
the influence and co-operation of every
friend of himself or his fellow men. And
we hope it may effect a reform which will be
general and perpetual. We have also a
Masonic Lodge, which, although in bad re
pute with the enemies of masonry, is con
stantly gaining members. As on every other
subject, there is a great variety of opinion
respecting this ancient and honorable order.
Like every other good institution it has its
foes. Some think it good so far as there is
any virtue in it all, hut view it as chiefly a
system of ceremonies, which amount to
nothing, and is kept in existence by the
charm of secrecy. Others regard it as some
thing exceedingly mysterious, and refuse to
connect themselves with it, through fear that
it may subject them to a frightful ordeal.
But a Mason knows that if the head is not
nade wiser, and the heart happier, it is not
the fault of the jninciples he professes to
adopt.
Immediately adjacent to our town is a
most beuutiful and tastefully laid out Garden,
(danted with a great variety of shrubbery
and flowers, many of which are very rare
and curious. It also contains a pool, some
fifty feet in circumfeiencc, and four deep,
which is well stocked with the “ finny tribe. ’
This Garden is the property of Lancelot
Johnston, Esq., to whose liberality and
public spirit our citizens, and strungers, are
indebted for the privilege they enjoy of visit
ing it at pleasure.
Being adjacent to the Georgia Rail Road,
we have a facility for communication with
other places, which is an important item in
our advantages. By means of our Road
the people of Greenslroro’ have become our
neighbors; and if we are on a pleasure ex
cursion, or wish to make a friendly visit, a
ride of an hour and a half will take us
from either place to the other. It ia a source
of pleasure to us, that we are on terms of
intimacy with so pleasant and estimable a
community. Augusta is within eight hours
of us—our citizens who have business there,
may transact it with the loss of but one day,
and all the variety of luxuries in their sea
son as they are received at that market, may
be forwarded at short notice and trifling ex
pense.
We have made these remarks irrespec
tively of the fact that our place is now the
terminus of the Rail Road. Many improve
ments have taken place since the road was
completed to this point, and Madison has, and
will have, more notoriety and importance
for a number of years, than after it is ex
tended. But the advantages which may ac
crue during this time, are additional to those
to which we have adverted. All we have
said in commendation of our town would
be equally true, were the terminus twenty
miles beyond us.
For several years, at least, we shall have
a greater increase of trade—our population
will increase, and life and energy will he
given to every department of business. We
shall have the rumbling of stage coaches,
the rattle and rustle of baggage, the loading
and unloading of passengers, the confusion
of voices, and bustle and commotion of
crowded hotels, wagons rolling and creak
ing under the weight of cotton, and the gruff
voices of wagoners as they display their
authority to the lookers on. If times im
prove, we shall have an appearance of great
prosperity; and we have no doubt will pros
per. Money will he made, and we have no
doubt, should the Rail Road he eventually
extended, our permanent citizens will have
secured their proportion. But. we hope,
whatever change may take place in respect
to the number of our population, or the
amount of trade, or wealth, or luxury, or
fashion—our social and moral character may
never be impaired.
RHODE ISLAND.
The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel of May
2d says: The Providence Journal Extra of
Monday, contains the proclamation of Gov
vernor King, of Rhode Island, calling upon
the General Assembly to meet in special
session at Providence on Monday.
The House accordingly met and received
a message from the Governor, which was
referred to a committee of two from each
county, after which they adjourned till
Tuesday.
The committee consists of Messrs. Ran
dolph, J. 11. Clark, Matthewson, Barber,
Spencer, Hoxie, Bosworth, and Howe.
The Journal does not contain the mes
sage, but says of it, that after a brief review
of the current events, since the adjourn
ment of the General Assembly and of the
present state of affairs, it sugests the pro
priety of making a requisition upon the
President of the United States for aid to put
down the domestic violence with which the
State is threatened, and recommends the
appointment of a Board of Council to ad
vise and consult with the Executive, and the
organization of such a military force as
shall be necessary in the present exigency.
of Representatives, it is stated that the
whole amount of money drawn out of the
Treasury on account of the three Brancft
Mints at the South has been 8822,457 21.
The whole amount coined fry the Branches
is stated at $2,554,705. The cost of coin
ing this sum at the Philadelphia Mint would
have been about 81,000.
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
We give below the following note from

LATE FROM THE WEST INDIES.
Arrival of the Royal West India Mail
Steamer Medua y.
The Royal Mail Steamer Medway passed
our bar yesterday morning, and came up to
“Four Mile Point,” where she anchored.
The Medway is commanded by Capt.
Smith, of the Royal Navy; and to the Ad
miralty Agent on board, Lieut. Rob. Ross
Auehmuty, R. N., vve are indebted for infor
mation concerning her movements. She
left Falmouth, England, on the 3d of March,
first touched at Barhadoes, and afterwards
took a cruise through the Spanish Maine,
touching at the various ports on that sea.
The Medway left Havana on the morning
of the 21st inst., and arrived at Nassau on
the afternoon of the 22d, making the passage
between the two places in about 29 hours.
She left Nassau early on the morning of the
23d, but we have not been able to obtain
any papers by her, either from Havanna or
from the Bahamas.
Her mails for this place were delivered to
the British Consul according to the terms of
her schedule, and are as follows :
From England, the mail of the 15tli March,
per steamboat Thames.
From Havanna to the 20th inst.
“ Nassau “ “ 22d “
The intelligence hy this steamboat is
comparatively unimportant, and in fact we
do not asceitain that she has many items of
news, except so far as her own movements
are concerned.
The model of this boat is a very beauti
ful one and finely built—her arrangements
in every way well adapted, and the machine
ry and engine a noble piece of Mechanism.
Without any “ gingerbread work” about it,
it is solid, substantial, and beautifully com
plete. She is 2-15 feet long, about 1750
tons, with a compliment of 90 men, and
draws 16i feet of water. Altogether she
is a noble specimen of British genius and
enterprise, and as a messenger of peace and
good will, must ever he welcome to our wa
ters. Heaven forbid the occasion of her
coming in any other character! The numer
ous visiters to her, were very politely re
ceived and entertained by her gentlemanly
officers.
Many of her officers and passengers re
galed themselves with a dinner at the Pu
iaski House, served up in Capt. Wiltber
ger’s best style.
V\ e publish below a complete list of her
passengers, as furnished by her Purser.
We learn from a passenger on hoard, Mr.
Svmms, who lefl Vera Cruz on the 4th inst..
that the United States Frigate Macedonian,
and Sloop-of-war Warren, had arrived at
Vera Cruz. Our informant met at Jalapa
Mr. McLeod, who went out passenger in
one of the above vessels. Mr. McLeod was
on his way to Castle Parote, where his broth
er and fifty one others belonging to the San
ta Fe expedition were confined. One hun
dred of the unfortunate captives were con
fined in the Mexican Capitol, and some
seventy of them in the city of Puebla.
When the Texians fiist arrived in Mexi
co, their condition was most distressing, and
they were almost in a state of nudity. They
were at first compelled to labor about five
days in irons, since which their sufferings
have been lessened, the most serious incon
venience being that of sleeping in narrow
and uncomfortable cells at night. Consider
able sums had been subscribed for I lie aid of
the captives. Some Mexican gentlemen
had made up a contribution of about 6500
for them, and two gentlemen from Boston,
one of them a Mr. Talbot, had given eight
doubloons each. Mr. Symms had seen all
the prisoners and conversed with many of
them. Mr. Kendall was confined entirely
apart from the others.
The object of raising the military force
in Mexico is said to he in order to bring un
der subjection the local government of Yu
catan, after which it was thought they
would he directi and against Texas. The ap
pointment of General Thompson as Minis
ter to Mexico, had given great satisfaction.
Gen. T. had arrived at Vera Cruz.
The only American vessel at Vera Cruz
was the barque Eugene, from New York.
(Birco, master,) to sail on the 13th ; desir
ed to be reported.
Santa Anna had left the city of Mexico
in order to establisliJiis head quarters in tin
country.
We have taken the trouble to ascertaii
the dimensions of the Medway, for the in
formation of our readers. They are as fol

Central and Monroe Rail-Roads. — We
take pleasure in laying before our readers
the subjoined extract of a letter to the edi
tor, from a gentleman in Macon, in relation
to the progress and prospects of these roads.
It must be a source of gratification to every
friend of internal improvement, to si-e that
these two companies are progressing so
rapidly with their roads, notwithstanding the
numerous difficulties which they have en
countered. The facts may be relied on, as
they have been collected from personal ex
imination, and the most authentic sources of
information.— Augusta Chronicle Sf Sentinel.
“ The Central Rail-Road will be comple
ted to within 20 miles of Macon by next Oc
tober. Iron sufficient to reach 4or 6 miles
thither, lias already been received by the
Company. A contract lias been made for
urnishing the timber and laying the super
structure on the whole road to this place,
which has been paid for in advance. The
graduation of the entire road will be com
pleted in nine months, and the whole line
placed in full operation early next year.
“ The Monroe Rail-Road is completed,
with the exception of six miles of iron, (which
is now in Savannah,) to Griffin, 58 miles
from Macon, thence to the State Rail-Road
■*2 miles ; the entire line is prepared for the
reception of the rails, (except a small amount
of grading, estimated to cost about seven
thousand dollars, which is in progress,) three
fourths ol the necessary timber for the whole
of the road is delivered on the- ground.
“ The superstructure on 52 miles of the
Western and Atlantic Rail-Road is in rapid
progress, and the iron for 33 miles purchas
ed, and on its way to Savannah. The re
mainder will shortly he obtained, and the
entire line, authorized by the last Legisla
ture, reaching to near Cassville, will be
placed in operation hy December next.”
MEXICO.
By the schooner Virginia Antoinette we
have received papers from the city of Mexi
co to the 26th ult. They ore destitute of
any thing calculated to throw light on the
relations between Mexico and Texas. We
learn that when the Virginia Antoinette left
Vera Cruz, the United States Revenue Cut
ter Woodbury, with the Hon. Waddy
Thompson on board, was entering that har
bor.
P. S. We have just seen a letter to a
commercial house in this city, dated “ Vera
Cruz April 7th,” stating that the rumor pre
vailed and was generally accredited, that
Santa Anna was negotiating a loan of $7,-
000,000 with the British government, on e
pledge of the peninsula of California. This
is important intelligence, and if true will
hasten a rupture between this country ant
Great Britain. Give the English n footholt
in Mexico, and they will soon stride ovet
the entire republic.
Business was excessively dull at Vet?
Cruz. The people there were under ap
prehensions that the Texian squadron would
entirely interrupt or destroy the coasting
trade of Mexico.— N.O. Bee.
Good neics by the Great Western, for tin
Cotton Planters. —We clip the following
paragraph from the European and Liver
pool Intelligencer:
“ Cultivation of Cotton in India. —We
learn from the Bombay Times that th<
American cotton planters, who went to Indie
under engagements with the East India
Company, dissatisfied with the treatment
they have received at the hands of the Bom
bay government, have come to the deter
minatinn of resigning their situations, and
leaving the country. The planters, in a
letter which appears in the above named
paper, state that no facilities were afforded
them for surmounting, or even becomine
acquainted with, the difficulties they must
expect to meet in establishing anew mode
if cultivation. For the space of nearly six
months, during which they remained at
Broach, nothing whatever appears to have
been done. No one seems to have taken
tue slightest interest in the matter.”
J*et them come home and plant cotton in
Mississippi and Georgia, where they belong.
John Bull has got other fish to fry in India,
besides rivalling Jonathan in cotton plant
ing. He may now perhaps recollect what
Mrs. Glass says in her cookery hook, about
the preparation of the hare—“first catch
your hare.” If those transplanted planters
tad been true yankees, they would have
fooled John to the last degree, and we arc
hy no means certain now, that they have not
been feeding him on a celebrated article
called green corn. Vive la bagatelle.—Sa
vannah Republican.
A severe hail storm, accompanied with
wind, thunder, lightning and rain, passed
over this place on the 18th ult. We never
before saw such a quantity of rain fall in so
short a time—the town was literally inun
dated—the gutters and streets running like
rivers—and the rain beating in through
every crack and crevice, there was danger
of being inundated within as well as with
out—while the constant crashing of the
thunder and gleaming of the lightning,
seemed as if heaven, earth, and ocean were
again mingling into chaos. A good deal of
injury was done to plantations by the wash
ing of the rain; and the young crops suffer
ed considerably by the hail.
During the storm a wagon with six mules
standing in the street near the Washington
Hall was struck hy tho lightning, and one
of the mules instantly killed. A number
of persons in the contiguous stores were
sensibly shocked, but providentially no other
injury was done.— Maam Telegraph.
THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.
In allusion to the report we published yes
terday, respecting the adjustment of the
boundary question through the medium of
Lord Ashburton, and the convening of the
Legislature of Maine, the Portland Argus
contains the following :
It is now pretty generally understood in
this quarter that Mr. Webster has written to
Governor Fairfield, requesting him to call
forthwith an extra session of the Legisla
ture, for the purpose of appointing Com
missioners to treat with Lord Ashburton and
the General Government on the North-Eas
tern boundary question. It is also under
stood that Gov. Davis, of Massachusetts, has
been written to on the same subject, and for
the same purpose. If the Legislature of
this State should be convened for the single
object of taking preliminary steps in tbe set
tlement of this perplexing question, we
hope that party considerations will not be
allowed in the remotest degree to mingle in
its deliberations.
It is no party question, It involves no
party principles. It is purely national in its
origin : and must be terminated by the na
tion, either peaceably or be resort to arms.
There is no doubt that our claims are found
ed in justice, and on that account we have
less occasion to threateu an appeal to tho
sword. Every possible effort should be ex
hausted to obtain justice, before we talk of
war. Every true patriot, to whatever par
ty he may chance to belong, should be rea
dy to aid both the General Government and
the Government of Maine, in all honorable
efforts to bring this great question to a blood
less issue.— N. Y. Com. Adv.
