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 back. Allow me, dear sir, to subscribe my self your very grateful and obedient friend) 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. Yours, ‘ T.

MADISON, GEOS Saturday, June 4, 1842. 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 per, Walton and Henry furnish the desired information 1 ’ were much pleased to notice a decided improvement in the last number of tbe “ Hamburg Journal.” Its new head looks much better than the old.

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. LUCIUS L. WITTICU, JAS. 11. M’IIENRY, ISHAM 8. FANNIN, ALFRED A. OVERTON, Board cf Visitors. 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. A VISITOR. friend Ware, of the “ Sanders ville Telescope,” is, we are forced to be lieve, a man of sound judgment and most excellent taste. Hear what he says in his last ! “ 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 ! (£?*The “ Metropolitan Greys,” of Mil ledgeville, were encamped near that city for six days. The encampment was dissolv ed on Saturday night last. Great unanimi ty and feeling prevailed throughout the en campmetit; (£7” William Gilmore Simms, of South Carolina, the distinguished novelist and poet, has been appointed by the Erosophic Society, of the University of Alabama, to deliver their next Anniversary Discourse, in December next, and has accepted the ap pointment. (£7*At a recent celebration of the 67th anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill, at Charlestown, (Mass.) Miss Clark, aged 78 years, was present. She was 11 years old at the time of the battle. It was in her father’s house (the Rev. Dr. Clark’s) that Hancock and Adams were concealed for a fortnight, when the royal proclamation was fixing a price upon their heads. They were nightly attending to the public business. Miss Clark has two sisters still living. The work upon the Bunker Hill Monument Was resumed on the 2d inst.

Cotton all insured. “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. $5 per annum, in advance. “THE ORION,** For May, lies before us. We feel a good deal slighted by its late visit, inasmuch as it was received some two weeks since by sub scribers in this place; but, as we are not one who can cherish animosity, we freely forgive him on his promise to do better in future. The Orion is the star magazine of the South in point of typography : ih fact, in that particular, it is equal to any in the country.

Nearly three years have elapsed since we had the pleasure of looking upon its fair pages. The number before us (Yol. XX, No. 22,) is rich indeed. It is still un der the editorial charge of General George P: Morris, and is embellished, as heretofore, oiice every month, with a splendid Engrav ing. The Mirror is also embellished with wood-cut representations of the Fashions, and, every week, with a popular piece of music, arranged for the Piano-forte, Harp, Guitar, See. The embellishments of the present number are truly magnificent, being a steel Engraving of the “Legend of the Brown Rosary,” and a full page of rare music entitled, “ Mama is so very particu lar.” New-York —Daniel Fanshaw, pro prietor and publisher. $5 per annum, in advance. LATEST FROM ENGLAND. Arrival of the British Queen. This steamer arrived on the morning of the 27th, at New York, fiom Antwerp via Southampton. She brings intelligence three days later. The Queen passed large quantities of ice on the Banks—was a day and a half in pass ing through it. She brings 41 cabin passen gers. The British House of Commons was still engaged on the Income Tax Bill, with eve ry prospect of it becoming a law. There have been some serious disturban ces among the workmen in the mining and manufacturing districts. Their wages hav ing been lowered in some places there have been several general turn-outs, attended with great excitement, but no alarming vio lence. The money market continues extremely easy. Money is abundant at low rates, and the prices of stock have advanced. The cotton market has been under the in fluence of animated speculation, which for a time caused heavy sales and a slight ad vance in prices, but it finally fell back to its former position. In the Commons, the Income Tax Bill had been gone through with, in committee, and was ordered to the House, pretty much as originally presented on the 9th inst. Whilst rounding to in tho East River to go into her berth, the British Queeti got aground on the rocks off the foot of Walnut street. London, May 6. 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 mongst the nobility, that the Grand Master Os the Police at St. Petersburg found it ne nessary to publish an ordinance on the fol lowing day, annulling in reality all that had 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.

There are symptoms of confusion being likely to break out at Oude, where the old King is acting the oppressor) at the instiga tion of a crafty minister. 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.

Aladison, (near the Georgia Rail-Road Depot, June 4, 1842, 10 Berkshire Hogs* IPHE subscriber having been for some time engaged -*• in raising Berkshire stock, would inform those whd feel desirous of improving their Hogs, that he has now on hand eight or ten SUPERIOR SOWS, selected from the stock of the best breeders st the North, viz t From Mr. Lotting, of Albany, Now-York, one sow | from Mr. C. N. Bement, of Three Hills Farm, near Al bany, three sows: and from Messrs. A. & G. Brentnall; of Canterbury, New-York, three sows—together with some of my own raising, the produce of some of the 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.
