ke vr soso.
Mr. Editor: Sureenough, sir, I to-day re
ceived from my friend, J. Brown, Pott, of
Pinchback, a fine chicken pie—having be
fore had the high gratification of handling
the cake, which he so generously had pro
mised me through the columns of the “Mis
cellany,” in consideration of the very ac
curate and flattering review, which I had
the honor to write, touching the great mer
its of a certain “Book,” with which he had
treated our community. To him in general,
and to old Aunt Tamar in particular, would
I tender my sincere thanks, for the very
magnificent cake and excellent “ Rooster
Pie,” with which I have had the great satis
faction of astonishing my masticating organs
—and trust, that it will not be the last pres
ent, by a good many, which I shall receive
from the same quarter. Why, sir, I would
review a book a week for the same sort of
compensation—and do sincerely hope, that
Mr. J. Brown, Poet, of Pinchback, and au
thor too, will furnish me with another speci
men, that I may have it in my power to go a
little deeper into Aunt Tamar’s larder. Do
you make your deposites there, friend
Brown, of the good things of life? Well,
if you have more than you need at present,
just fork over a few more if you please—l
will take all the surplus change of that sort
—I am remarkably fond of a ginger cake,
and a dear lover ot a Rooster Pie—a very
dear lover, friend Brown, the Poet, of Pinch

TOMMY TEAZEWELL.
Beaver Tail, June 2, 1842.
P. S. I should have informed you, Mr.
Editor, that I have reserved one half of the
magnificent ginger cake, and intend to send
it over to you—believing that the printer as
well as the reviewer is entitled to his share
of the “loaves and fishes.” The pie, sir,
would not bear a division, else you should
have had your share of that. I shall keep
the half of the cake subject to your order.

TRAVELLING AGENT WANTED.
A person competent to the task is wanted*
to travel through this and the adjoining
Counties, to solicit and receipt for subscrip
tions to the “ Southern Miscellany*” We
feel confident our subscription list can be
greatly increased in this manner, and satis
factorily pay the person employed for that
purpose. He must be industriously inclin
ed, and of good moral character.
to the Laboring poor.
We again take occasion to renew the
proposition made by us last week to this
class of our fellow-citizens. We do it with
no other object in view than that stated in
our last, viz : Our desire to place the “ Mis
cellany” in the hands of all classes.
Any person, at the head of A family, Re
siding in this State, who is unable to pay the
amount of subscription to the “ Southern
Miscellany,” and who will send us a certifi
cate (signed by the Postmaster, or any min
ister of any denomination) to that effect,
shall receive one year’s subscription, free
of charge. These certificates must come
,free of pottage in every instance.
TO readers and correspondents.
We invite the attention of our readers to “ Peter’s”
communication. We were not aware, until his fa
vor came to hand, that we were looked upon in the
light of rivals by our “ elder brethren,” or that we
had, in any manner, conducted oorself so as to cre
ate a feeling of jealousy in their bosoms. We have
no rivals in the whole South! The “ Miscellany”
is the only strictly Neutral Family paper this side of
the Potomac, and we are unwilling it should be rank
ed as a rival to any Political paper, however great its
merits.
We thank our old friend “E. M. P.” for the Poem
which appears in our columns to-day. We pray you,
Doctor, to continue your favors; we are certain our
readers will be delighted with them.
We take pleasure in referring the reader to the story
“ The Talisman"—on our first page. The transla
tor will please accept our unfeigned thanks.
‘•The Maniac’s Complaint” is under consideration,
and will probably appear.
Dur friend “J. M. H.” is informed that his favdr of
the 16th ultimo, came duly to hand. His remittance
has been entered to his credit.
We shall probably give a Review of Zanoni, Bulwer’s
last novel, in our next—an esteemed correspondent
having kindly promised one, should his engagements
permit.
Our next number will also contain another Title —“Tho
Phantom of the late Mr. Cuthbert”—translated from
the French of Eugene Guinot for this paper.
“Tommy Teaze well” and J. Brown, poet, of Pinch
back,” are heartily welcome to the use of our col
umns to joxs each other ; but we beg them to take
each others “ hits” in good humor. We would not,
for any consideration, have them get at “loggerheads’
about any thing which we may publish for either the
one or the other. P. S. We will call in a few days
for our half of Tommy’s “ gunger.”
Our friend “ B. P. A.” must not pine under his mis
fortunes. Always look on the bright side of things;
that's our motto. We shall exert ourself to bia ad
vantage.
SUBSCRIBERS
Have, like tbe Florida Indians, been
“coining in” for the last few days, and prov
ing the sincerity of the profession that they
“ would like to see tbe paper supported.”
We suppose we have a great many friends
who wish to see us prosper, but we must be
excused if we feel a little partiality for those
who become subscribers. A continuance of
such encouragement as we have had for
the last week, would remove all sear 1 of
ever seeing our colors at “half mast.”
THE LOST FOUNDS
Mr. Pliny Bronner, whose mysterious dis
appearance was noticed last week, has since
returned from a visit to Elbertoii, and has
been seen in our streets by divers persons at
divers times, clearly proving that his “mur- •
der” was a mistake. He left Mr. Finnic’s
plantation, ifappears, without any appre
hension of the subsequent difficulty. Is the
lash the proper means for eliciting the truth
“in a caseof the kind?”
FOURTH OF JULY.
We feared that this “day of all the rest,”
was to pass without any public observance.
We had heard no note of preparation—not
even a suggestion that our country’s birth
day was at hand, and almost concluded that
patriotism was buried with Gen. Harrison,
or had gone with Mr. Van Buren to Kinder
hook, But We are informed that the Wash
ingtonians, (God bless them !) at their last
meeting, voted to have a celebration, and
appointed the necessary Committees. They
will ptobably give us their plan in due time.
What shall we do who pay an Occasional
oblation at the shrine of Bacchus? Had we
not better join the Washingtonians?
are indebted td oiir attentive
Postmaster, F. W. Arnold, Esq., for the
following extract of a letter, written by a
gentleman, formerly of this County, now on
a travelling tour in the Gold region, dated
“ Dahloncga, May 29th, 1842.
No doubt, ere this, the news of the ce
lebrated vein mine, recently discovered, on
John C. Calhoun’s lot, by Laurence &
Seism, has winged its way to your village,
and excited much interest and speculation.
I have visited this mine, and witnessed their
operations. The discovery was made upon
the surface, on a very elevated spot, some
four miles from this place. There appears
to be three veins, running an easterly direc
tion, and at an angle of about 45 degrees,
each vein crossing the State—which is un
usual in a mining country. Sixteen hands,
in three weeks, made seventy-eight hundred
and sixteen penny Weights of Gold. On yes
terday, they only labored two-thirds of the
day, and made fourteen hundred and sixty
f enny weights. It bids fair to continue good,
t is the opinion of the miners that the one
which is dug out and not beat up, will yield
as much, as they have already saved. In
many instances the gold will outweigh the
rock With which it is connected. The mi
ners are generally doing well and making
good Wages.”
JUNE CONVENTIONS.
The two great political Parties of Geor
gia are each to hold a Convention, in Mil
ledgeville, during the present month. The
first,by the Whig Party, on the second*
Monday, and another, by the Democratic
Party, on the third Mouday. Tbe object of
these Conventions are, we understand, to
nominate candidates for election on the first
Monday in October iiext.
BERKSHIRE HOGS.
We invite the attention of our Farming
community—lovers of good hogs—to the
advertisement of John Bonner, Esq., which
will be found in to-day’s paper.
FUNERAL SERMON OF MR. WISE.
The funeral sermon of the Hon. Henry
A. Wise was preached by the Rev. Mr.
Harris, in Smithburg, Maryland, on Sunday,
the 20th ultimo. Some wag (says the Ha
gerstown News,) started a report that he
and Stanley had met upon the field of hon
or, and that Mr. Wise had been killed.
The Reverend gentleman took it up, moral
ized upon the sin of letting our “ angry pas
sions rise,” severely reprehended the prac
tice of duelling, alluded to the agency of
Wise in the death of Cilley, and remarked
that, “ now he (Wise) himself lies moulder
ing in the cold and silent tomb.” .
COTTON BLOOMS.
The editor of the Augusta Chrotiicle has
been presented with two full grown blooms
of this year’s crop. They are from the plan
tation of Alexander Murphy, Esq., of Burke
county. We give an extract from the note
which accompanied the present:
“ There never was a finer prospect, than
is at this time, for a cotton crop in this coun
ty. Old Burke yet hopes to overcome all
her pecuniary embarrassments, and stand
where she always has stood, energetic in her
movements, prompt to meet her contracts.”
We shall be happy so learn something of
the crops generally in this section. Will
our friends in Newton, Greene, Clark, Jas

information 1 ’

THE EXAMINATION.
On Wednesday last, the Male Academy
was attended by the Board of Visitors, and
a tier of empty benches, prepared, we sup
pose, as a mark of respect to the parents
and friends of the pupils, whom, judging by
the usual custom of our community, the
teachers could not expect to feel interest
enough in the occasion to be present. It
would be in vain to give expression to any
regret for the indifference of the public to
wards our schools; it has been expressed
too often to be heeded, But justice to
teachers and pupils requires some public tes
timonial of the faithfulness and ability of the
former and the improvement of the latter.
Mr: Alden, the principal of the institution,
has, for the last term, confined his labors
chiefly to the languages; and the examina
tion in Greek and Latin fully sustained his
established and well known reputation. He
needs not our meed of praise to add to his
character as a teacher.
The mathematical department, has been
under the control of Mr. Hardy, whose
classes in Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geome
try, exhibited a proficiency truly astonish
ing; and we are compelled to say, we have
never attended an examination at which pu
pils had attained so thorough and practical
knowledge of mathematics in so short a
time. Mr. H. deserves the thanks of every
friend of the institution. The classes in
Reading and Spelling also acquitted them
selves well.
We are not so vain of our institution as
to believe, that its management, or the ca
pacity of its teachers, is without fault, spot,
or blemish, but we doubt whethpr its superi
or in these respects can easily be found.
The next term will commence on the 20tli.

FESIALE SEMINARY.
This during the last term, has
been under the charge of Mr. Carlisle P. B.
Martin, assisted by Miss E. Bacon. The semi
annual examination was attended on Thurs
day, by a company, we are happy to say,
much larger than was present on the pre
vious day at the Male Academy. And
among those who were present, we have
heard but one opinion of the exercises, and
that in the hightest degree commendatory.
Some of the pupils who joined the institu
tion late in the term, appeared under a dis
advantage, but the examination, on the
whole, evinced a high degree of improve
ment in the young ladies, and great labor
and attention on the part of Mr. Martin.
We had heard Mr. M. highly spoken of
as a teacher, by those who had daughters
under his instruction, and his examination
fully met our expectation. We are pleased
with his order, discipline, and management,
and have no doubt that his qualities, as a
teacher and a gentleman, will render our
Female Seminary an institution highly valu
able and ornamental to our town. To those
parents at a distance, as well as those near
home, who wish to send their daughters to
a good institution, we can confidently recom
mend the Madison Female Seminary.

“ Southern Miscellany. —This paper which
has been recently established in Madison,
Morgan county, in this State, comes to hand
this week much improved. We noticed it
favorably on its first appearance, but we
now pronounce it the neatest printed paper
in the State.”
Them’s our sentiments !

“MAGNOLIA, OR SOUTHERN MONTHLY.”
The May number of this “ floWer of the
South” comes to us laden with avast amount
of excellent matter. We have read only
a few of the papers, and pronounce them of
the first order. The “ History of the Decla
ration of Independence,” by Wm. Bacon
Stevens, is a highly interesting and valuable
contribution. “Old English Poets and Poet
ry,” No. 3, by the same author is very good*
and so are “Thoughts on Spring,” by James
W. Simmons. “ The Ruins of Palenque,”
by Dr. Pendleton, is a perfect gem. The “Edi
tional Bureau” is extensive, and well stored.
In short, we are exceedingly well pleased
with the number before us, and shall give
it an attentive perusal at our Icisiirc; Wc
are happy to learn that the Editor is deter
mined to exclude from the pages of his
magazine all “ narratives which require suc
cessive numbers of the work for their pro
gress.” It is a mistaken idea that to divide
and cut up articles—giving a small portion
at a ti me—renders a work interesting and
eagerly sought after. This feature in any
magazine will ruin it. We hope to see the
“Family Companion,” at Macon, adopt this
rule. Savannah —ThomasPurse, Publisher.

ThO Emperor of Russia published a
ukase on the 2d ult., modifying the position
of the Russian serfs in respect to their lords,
which created so much dissatisfaction a

been commanded by the preceding ukase.
CHINA.
The Overland mail was received in Lou
don on the 4tli. ThO intelligence is given
in the following extracts.
The latest intelligence is to the 14th of
February from Macao. The Chinese Gov
ernment garrisoned the cities and forts of
Yuyao. Tsikee and Funghwa, which are
situate 36, 20 and 40 miles Ningpo, with a
view of awing all those who had submitted
to the British, a force consisting of three
steamers with about 7tio men was despatch
ed against them. They were soon occupied;
the only opposition being an attempt at one
place on the part of the Tartars to defend
the town from without the walls, but although
they ojpetifed fire, the Tartars fled as soon as
they were pursued and lost about
160 men. The snow which covered’ the
country saved the others, as their pursuers
did riot knoW the safe paths. The amuni
tion, arms, clothing, and other War stores,
Were destroyed, and the piiblic granaries
surrendered to the populace. The expedi
tion returned to Ningpo on the 12th of
January.
Having issued a circular to her Britanic
Majesty’s subjects announcing the capture
of those three cities, Sir Henry Pottinger
sailed for Hong Kong, where he arrived on
the first of February. He immediately put
a stop to the wretched system of seizing the
Chinese,commercial junks. Trade was car
ried oti successfully with the Southern porta,
find Opium was selling freely along the coast,
for the powers of the Goverriment to cori
trol the use of that narcotic appear now to
be in a great measure paralyzed. The sale
of this article, is such, and the prices so re
numerating, that it has been proposed to
station vessels in different places to serve as
depots for the cargoes. The profits are
such as will enable the Hon. company to de
fry at least one half of the expenses of the
expedition to China.
In the mean time the Mandarins at Can
ton and the Dutch engineers are busy in
erecting fortifications along the banks of
their river; they have already erected twelve
stone or earth batteries along the Macao
passage and the Salk Juuk river, in which
they have placed nearly 400 guns of large
calibre. As the export trade from Canton
continued, Sir Henry Pottinger had deci
ded, while tradeis allowed, and the river be
low Whampoa is left unobstructed, upon
not attacking that place again, for, as he de
clared to some Mandarins, who came com
missioned, as they said, by their celestical
monarch to treat with the plenipotentiary,
“I will notenter into treaty : I will nego
tiate with the Emperor personally at Pekin.”
It is reported that Chusan, Amoy, and
Hong Kong, are to be free ports; buildings
of various kinds are springing up fast in the
last named.

AFGANISTAN.
The intelligence from this sciit of war
consists chiefly of details concerning events
previously known in general terms, and of
corrections or details of foimer accounts.
The disasters appear now to be ascribed
more to misconduct on the part of the An
glo Indian forces than to the prowess of the
Affghans, or even to the difficulties of the
country and the season.

above named sows. 1 have also a boar Ant Mr. Lot
sing, and a very (superior boar from Mr. Bement;
My stock of hogs are the produce of the moat cele
brated boars ever imported into this country, amohg
which may be mentioned Heading, Black Prince, Sidayi
Ontario, and Jack of Newburg, who are too well known
to require comment. My boar “ Marquis,” purchased
from Mr. Bement; was pronounced by that gentleman
superior in point of form to his celebrated boar “Rip
Van Winkle,” (his half-brother,) who received the first
prize at the Fair of the New-York State Agricultural
society, held at Syracuse in September last: I have
also a full blooded China sow, purchased from Mr. Be
ment, whose produce by Marquis, 1 shall have to dis
pose of this fall. I have one pair of White Hogs, 9
large English breed, imported direct from England, end
landed iu Savannah in June lost; and also a very su
perior Berkshire sow. imported direct, who will shortly
arrive.
Those who wish to ascertain the quality of my stock
are referred to a communication from Mr. Bement, in
the May number of the Cultivator, accompanying the
Krtrait of Rip Van Winkle,in which be says: “isent
it year to Mr. John Bonnet , of White Plains, Georgia;
several breeding sows, and no one, I assure you, haS
been more rigid or particular to procure the pure blood,
and the best animals ton Applicants for pigs, in that
section; may depend on procuring from hitn the real
‘ sitneon pures.’ ” I deem it but justice, to .myself to
state, that at the Fair of the “ Planter’a Club,” of Han
cock County, held at Sperta, on the 6th of December
last, the only prize awarded for a boar, was given to
“ Black John, a pig four months and twelve days old;
and weighing 166 pounds that day. The above pig was
bred by myself and sold to Mr. A. E. W. Brown, near
Sparta, and was the only one of mv stock that waa
present at the Fair.
It is necessary also to state that full and written ped
igrees, running back to the original stock -MtOßnb
from England, will be given of every pig pur
chased from me, together with a certificate of age.
To the produce of the sow purchased from Air. Loosing
I can give no pedigree on the mother's side, not having
been able to procure one from him. I have been par
ticularly careful to obtain full and correct pedigrees, not
only <br the purpose of procuring the best stock, bat
because without them, no breeder can ascertain wheth
er or not he is really crossing his stock, which is ad
mitted by all to be very essential. 1 believe that 1 have
been at more trouble and greater expense, than any
other man in Georgia, in obtaining the very best bogs,
invariably ordering the best without Kmitauon of priefe.
I have contracted for; and will receive this fall, from
Mr. A. B. Allen, of Buffalo, New-York, a very superi
or young boar, the produce of his beat importation df
last fall; so that I shall constantly have a cross from
the best and most celebrated boars, both of this coun
try and England. Persons wishing to procure the an
cine breed are invited to call and view my stock, and
ail who may order pigs are assured that they will re
ceive those that are not only full blooded, but pure mi
imported. I freely challenge a comparison of my stock
with that of any other breeder df BetkebirM in Geor
gia, and am confident that they will prove thhmselvea
equal, if not superior, to any in the State. At any rate
I am perfectly willing that the character of my stock
should be either raised or sunk by the event of eucn a
comparison. Os this fact, however, the public may
rest assured, that 1 am determined not to be surpas
sed, and if 1 do not have the best bogs, it will be be
cause money will not procure them. My Sows will
commence littering in July or August, after which tima
1 shall be pleased to furnish pigs to any who may fa VOS’
me with their orders. My price for pigs is invariably
Twenty Dollars per pair; no pigs being offered for sate
that are not fully equal to those sold by other breeders.
The hospitality of my house will be freely extended to
nil who may pay me a visit, either with a view of pur
chasing pigs, or for the pleasure of viewing fine Stock.
JOHN BONNER.
P. S. Orders for Pigs accompanied with the Cash,
