her influence, that she may turn it to the best account; and in this view, she will not consider what is ornamental, as unworthy her regard; but she will cultivate it, as a means of persuasion, and will study to be agreeable, were it only for the desire to recommend her principles. She will imbibe more deeply the spirit of religion, if she will carry its charm into the detail of life, and become fascinating as well as faithful, and agreeable as well as good. NO VICE Written for the “ Southern Miscellany.” 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 Com. Wilkinson, just as we received it, last evening, through the post office. The chan nel by which it came to this city is unknown to us, but we presume the letter to be au thentic. The Macedonian was probably boarded hy some vessel in the vicinity of the coast, as the note appears to have been da ted but four days ago: — N. O. Picayune of the 2G th April. U. S.

Received information from the best authority, that four hundred men were on their march from the south, to join five hundred, to be sent from Tatnpico to Matamoras. We were also informed that it was the intention of Santa Ana to invade Texas without delay. Very Respectfully, J. WILKINSON. (£?* James R.

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 lows: ft. in Length from figure head to tafTrail, 245 “ of keel, 213 “ of spar deck, 223 10 Breadth of beam, 3G “ to outside paddle boxes, 59 “ of wheels, BOf Depth 23 03 Height of spar deck, 7 Diameter of wheels, ‘32 Diameter of cylinder, G 03 Tonnage, old measure, 1300 tons. She makes sixteen revolutions per min ute, and usually runs about llrj miles pet hour. The Medway leaves this morning for Halifax via New York, and will return in about thrpe weeks. The following is a list of her passengers: Mr. Brvant and family, Mr. Escandon arid family, Mr. A. Caldron De La Barca and family, Messrs. E. Striho E. De Mofras, C. Svmms, J. Furbrey, T. Cavrauge, Tburbe, T. Gonzelez, Wm. Phelps, Diego Geauisd his and servant, D. Morn, Alston, Bassinger ind servant. Holmes Convicted. —This poor fellow, one of the sailors of the hapless William Brown which was wrecked among the icebergs a year ago, whir lias just undergone atrial in Philadelphia on a charge of homicide, for assisting in throwing overboard the passen gers in the long boat, has bgen convicted, hut recommended to mercy. Anew trial was immediately moved. Franklin College at Athens. —lt appears from a catalogue just published, that the faculty of this College is still lull, and so fai ns the number of students is concerned, the Institution is in a highly flourishing condi tion. The total number of students is now 122, viz. 23 Seniors, 34 Juniors, 38 Sopho mores, and 27 Freshmen. 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.
