his “ Miscellany” is conducted with tact and
taste —the possession of which is abundant
ly attested, to our minds, by his occasional
judicious selections from the Companion,
(every crow, you know) —he will continue
to gain ground at home; and the day will
come when the influence of his excellent
southern family paper will be felt at home
and abroad —at home, in the diffusion of
southern principles and sentiments, and
abroad in the diminution of the circulation
of those journals, modesty devoted to eve
ry thing, claiming to embrace every thing,
and intended to circulate every where !
The Miscellany is published weekly, in
Madison, Geo., by C. R. llanlf.itf.k, on an
imperial sheet, with fair new type, at the
very moderate price of $2 50, per annum,
in advance.
Query for the Editor. In his last, he says
—“ The Orion is the star magazine of the
south, in point of typography.” Can the
editor tell us whereabouts at the south the
Orion is printed 1”
Then, here follows a notice from the
** American Mechanic,” one of the most in
teresting papers within our knowledge. The
“ Mechanic” should be in the hands of eve
ry Mechanic, and we here take occasion to
say to our readers, if they wish to obtain it,
a remittance of $1 50, “prior to the first of
July, will secure the back numbers of the
current volume. After that date, the
price will be $2 00, in advance. The “Me
chanic” is published every Saturday, in the
City of New York, by J. Rumrill and S.T.
Porter; every number contains at least one
new Mechanical Invention, with an Engrav

“ The ‘Southern Miscellany,’ is the title
of anew anil excellent paper, published at
Madison, Geo., by C. R. Hanleiter. It is
devoted to Literature, the Arts, Sciences,
Agriculture, Education, Foreign and Do
mestic Intelligence, &c. It is well printed,
on heavy, white paper, and contains a varie
ty of original and selected articles which
speak well of the ability of the editor.”
“ The Rasp,” our merry little friend,
makes the following notice of us. “ The
Rasp,” is published in Raleigh, Nortli-Caro
lina, at $1 50, in advance, and is worthy of
an extensive circulation.
“The ‘Southern Miscellany,’ Madison,
Ga., comes to us this week in anew dress.
The good people of Georgia, to a man,
ought to subscribe to the Miscellany, and be
proud that they too, can boast of having as
good a miscellaneous sheet, as can be found
any where at the North. We think so.”
We could give many more, but must
close this article, already much longer than
we at first intended it, by giving place to
the following friendly notice by our clever
little neighbor, “The Washingtonian, or
Total Abstinence Advocate,” published in
Augusta, by James McCafferty, at One
Dollar per annum, in advance.
“The ‘ Southern Miscellany,’ A neatly
printed family Newspaper, published week
ly at $2 50 per annum, by C. R. Hanleiter,
Madison, Ga. It is decidedly, one of the
best family papers now published. We
have only seen the three last numbers, and
judging from their contents, the publisher
has enlisted talent of no ordinary nature.
Home productions like this should be en
couraged; the low price, and the liberal of
fer of the publisher (to furnish it gratuitous
to families in this State, who are too poor
to pay for a newspaper) should place it be
fore any of the Northern publications for
our support.
following article was put in type
three weeks ago:
LOAFERS.
These are a numerous, celebrated and
time-honored fraternity. Poets have sung
the praises, and essayists, and scribblers,
and penny-adiners have extolled the virtues
of Loaferism. And, on such a day as yes
terday, as we cast our eye through the win
dow which looks out from the scene of our
incessant toil, upon the lounging groups
which surround our public square, we sigh
to be a Loafer. “In the sweat of thy face
shalt thou eat bread,” is a curse, from which,
in the mysterious designs of Providence,
they appear to have been delivered. There
they sit, or lie, or lean under the cool shade,
in their summer’s garb, with their heads
bared to tbe refreshing breeze—the picture
of luxury and indolenco. Nothing mars
their peace or disturbs their dignity. Their
quiet and happy spirits seem to repose in
“ the only bliss of paradise that has surviv
ed the fall.” We suppose that those of their
unfortunate fellowmcn who, like ourself, are
compelled to labor or starve, arc, by them,
considered objects of commisseration; for
a Loafer is a kind and feeling soul wherev
er you find him. But the exercise of their
pity, which might otherwise be painful and
destroy their peaceful equanimity, is coun
teracted by contrasting the condition of those
who labor with their own, and feeling the
happy exemption from the “ curse.” The
Loafing brotherhood is a mixture of all
classes, except that of the laborer. There
are some among them who appear to be
possessed of a secret art of living which en
ables them to loaf without money. We
could never attain to this. We are satis
fied we do not possess the fortitude to meet
the “ contingcnces” which necessarily lie in
the way of a Loafer without means. We
must have the “needful” before we can
think of getting clear of the clink of type,
or pulling at the “ devil’s tail.” Had we a
plantation in the country, or plenty of safe
and profitable Bauk stock, we would, by all
means, “ send in our petition.”
WARM AND COLD BATHS.
Our doctor’s book says of these Baths :
“ It is impossible to find language to express
in adequate terms the importance of this
powerful preserver and restorative of health
this great and almost indescribable luxury,
the hath. Considering its importance to the
preservation of health, and the cure of very
many of our most afflicting diseases, it is
truly astonishing that the warm or tepid hath
should be so little used.” We feel it our
duty to remind our readers, of all classes,
and sexes, of the importance of frequent
bathing during the summer months. If they
value their health and comfort, they should
bathe at least twice or thrice a week. “ The
cold bath is one of the most important me
dicinal remedies presented from tlicfriendly
bosom of nature;” it is a “preventative
against disease, particularly fevers ; it clean
se.s the skin from its impure and acrid con
tents,” and thereby removes a primary source
of diseasb. This bath “ braces the solids
which were before relaxed by heat, restor
ing and tranquilizing the irritability of the
nervous system, and greatly exhiliratingand
cheering the spirits with an increase of
strength and bodily power.” When per
sons have traveled a long journey, and feel
much fatigued, or overheaded by exposure
to the sun, or their minds are much disturb
ed, the bath will be found an excellent reme
dy for invigorating the whole system. In
these cases, the warm bath is said to be much
the best. Persons should always enter the
bath on an empty stomach—or, in other
words, sometime after eating. Those who
are not within the vicinity of well-kept
Bathing houses, should, by all means, fur
nish themselves with convenient tubs and
bathe at home. Shower baths are extreme
ly healthy and pleasant, and should be
taken early in the morning. Soap should
be used without stint, and the body be
wiped perfectly dry with a coarse towel.
We shall be pleased to learn that our citi
zens are profiting by these hints.
AWFUL.
It is statAl that during the earthquake at
Santiago, the inhabitants rushed into the
Roman Catholic Church to implore mercy
from the Most High God, and filled it to
overflowing, and when it fell, rivers of blood
were seen to pour through the ruins, pro
ceeding from the bodies of the unfortunate
souls crushed within !

* OUR ACTIONS.
“ The only things,” says an old writer,
“in which we can be said to have any pro
perty, are our actions.'’ Our thoughts may
be bad, yet produce no poison ; they may
be good, yet produce no fruit; our riches
may be taken from us by misfortune, our
reputation by malice, our spirits by calami
ty, our health by disease, our friends by
death ; hut our actions must follow us be
yond the grave. With respect to them alone,
we cannot say that we shall carry nothing
with us when we die, neither that we shall
go naked out of the world. They are the
only little deeds of which we cannot be dis
inherited ; they will have their full weight
in the balance of eternity, when every thing
else is as nothing; and their value will be
confirmed and established by those two sure
and sateless destroyers of all other earthly
things, Time and Death !

MASONIC CELEBRATION.
For the first time in several years, the
Masonic fraternity of our County, on Friday
last, celebrated the anniversary of St. John,
the Baptist, by the interesting exercises pre
viously announced.
The brethren assembled at their Hall, at
half past 10 o’clock, and opened an Entered
Apprentice’s Lodge; after which, a proces
sion was formed in Masonic order, and mov
ed to the Presbyterian Church, where a
hymn and ode suitable to the occasion were
sung by the fraternity, a prayer offered by
Rev. Mr. Duncan, and an able and interest
ing address delivered by Isliam S. Fannin,
Esq.; the exercises concluding with the
Benediction. The procession was then re
formed, and after returning to the Lodge,
the brethren were called from labor to re
freshment. At 2 o’clock, they sat down to
an excellent entertainment prepared by Col.
J. M. Evans, at the American Hotel. After
the cloth was removed the following toasts,
among others not reported, were drunk, up
on the Washingtonian plan:
By W. M. Augustus Alden. The prin
ciples of our order —Peace its motto; be
nevolence its ensign; and the consciousness
of virtue its reward. Sunto perpetuce.
By Br. John S. Walker. Speculative
Free Masonry —lts principles are the same
now that they were when promoted by
Washington, Franklin, and La Fayette:
They have stood tbe test of centuries, i
repeat the wise remarks of Gamaliel, a doc
tor of the Jewish Law; if this work be of
men, it will come to nought, but if it be of
God ye cannot overthrow it.
By Br. E. Heard. Our fraternity —
May the principles we profess be practiced
in our lives.
By Br. A. Shaw. Let those who object
to Masonry, look at the good resulting from
a fraternity of faithful Masons.
By Br. A. A. Overton. The true and up
right Mason —The true friend of his fami
ly, his country, and his fellow-man, wher
ever found.
By Br. I. S. Fannin. The Ladies —l
have nothing against them. Let those con
demn them that dare.
By Br. Jared E. Kirby. Theorator rs the
day and his able Address —The one is worthy
of the other.
By Br. John Totty. The Madison Lodge
and its hospitality, deserving of the imita
tion of all Masons.
By Br. J. Strange. May the Madison
Lodge forever flourish.
By Br. David Demarest. The Madison
Lodge —Now a baby; may it live until it
becomes a Daniel Lambert.
By Br. H. C. Baker. The Immortal
TI ashinglon —As a soldier and a husband, a
good man, and as a Brother of tbe fraterni
ty, an excellent man.
By Br. L. T. P. Harwell. May the prin
ciples of Masonry not only be taught in the
Madison Lodge, but practiced by its mem
beiin every sense of the word.
By Br. A. A- Heard. Masonry —May
the lessons inculcated by this ancient and
excellent science, be more universally acted
out by its votaries.
By Br. H. J. Ogilby. The Ladies —The
“Perfect Ashlers” of our social fabric. The
“Precious Jewels” with which the “Su
preme Architect” lias adorned our universal
“Lodge.”
Nothing occurred at the table to disturb
the fraternal harmony and good feeling of
the occasion. After the festal exercises
were over, the brethren repaired to their
Lodge; were called fronT refreshment to
labor; after which the Entered Apprentice’s
Lodge was closed in due and ancient form-
Correspondence of the “ Southern Miscellany.”
Savannah, June 24th, 1842.
In a Moral and Religious point of view,
Savannah lias improved much in the past
two years. A revival of religion commenced
in the Methodist Church in April, 1841; its
progress was continued and gradual from
that time until the present —about 200
whites and 100 colored have been added to
its membership. This spring it has been
more general, extending into the Presby
terian, Lutheran, and Baptist congregations
—they have received about 100 members.
A most excellent spirit has existed among
them, and a very beneficial effect has been
produced upon the community in general,
the tone of morals has been improved there
by, and a salutary check given to vice in
every shape. Asa natural consequence,
the Temperance cause has received large
accessions. We have now three Societies
of that character, numbering in all about
SOO members, and steadily increasing.—
During the past three months, the Odd Fel
lows have established a Lodge—a most ex
cellent institution it is—they have met with
veFy flattering success. The Masonic breth
ren are also in a healthy state, and have re
ceived large accessions of members. Many
other charitable institutions have also been
formed, and old ones stimulated, which are
all striving to make smooth the rough paths
of life to those who are in indigent circum
stances. This, sir, is no fancy picture, and
the cause is a natural one* the increase of
morality and religion. It naturally prompts
the mind of man to seek the employment of
those faculties with which a beneficent Cre
ator lias endowed him, in doing good to his
fellow-men, and endeavoring by precept and
example “to do unto others as we would
that they should do unto us.”
In Politics we are nearly equally dividod,
and in the language of a prices current —
we would quote it dull at present.
In Military Affairs, you know our fail
ing, if wo may be permitted so to call it.
The same “espre ye corps” exists, and
we hope ever will. On the first of May,
our last regular day of parade and the An
niversary of several of our corps, a fine dis-
Elay was made by all of them. The “Guards”
a<f anew cap to show off; the “ Riflemen ”
somff appropriate and handsome changes in
their tasteful uniform; and the “Blues” a
splendid standard, which was presented on
that occasion by some of our patriotic La
dies. It is useless for us to attempt to enter
into a description of it, for we, like the
Queen of Sheba, was forced to acknowledge
“that the half was not told us,” although
our editors had previously portrayed every
line and almost every stitch to the life, of
this truly “ne plus ultra” of flags. We
need not add, that their ranks were full on
that occasion, and that each man put his
“ best foot foremost.”
Our Ranks continue to pay “Specie”
when called upon, except the Central Rail
Road, and they are rapidly reducing their
circulation—from $130,000 which was out
when they stopped, only between S3O and
$40,000 now remains to be taken in, and that
will soon be done by those who arc indebted
to the Institution and from receipts of their
Road. They never have refused their own
issues for freight or passage, and have also
offered to receive them on deposite, drawing
eight per cent, interest per annum from the
time such deposite is made. Many have
availed themselves of this, having full confi
dence in their ability to meet all their liabili
ties as soon as the fall business fairly opens.
The work on the Road is progressing rapid
ly; station No. 14, 14G miles, will be open
ed on or about the Ist of J uly, and No. 15
some time in the fall; already have they
commenced laying the superstructure be
yond the Oconee ; the bridge across that
river is progressing rapidly. We feel satis
fied that but one crop more will be brought
to market, before this great undertaking
shall have reached its terminus at East Ma
con. Then shall our seaboard and moun
tains be united.
Our Merchants are, generally speaking,
able to bear up against the “hard times,”
with a very good grace; they have all been
affected more or less by them; some have
gone the way of others before them, that
rather as a matter of course, but tbe majori
ty will weather the storm, and learn by ex
perience. The policy* of some merchants,
who have come into our city in the past two
years, we admire very much—they are
chiefly from middle Georgia—they brought
with them a knowledge of the customers
they would have to deal with, in point of
their ability to pay their contracts, charac
ter, and standing, and manner of doing busi
ness; these, last season, received large ship
ments of produce, which they disposed of
to the advantage of their customers, and in
return sent back such necessaries as the
Planter stood in need of, at prices much be
low what they had in previous years paid for
them, when trading with the inland cities.
The reason of this is, the cotton is sold di
rectly to the exporter, and the goods are
Eurchased from the importer, or first hands,
y the planter’s agent, which every man of
common sense must acknowledge is better
than the round about way that their business
has been heretofore done. We were pleas
ed also to see a much larger number of
planters come to our market with tlieir crops
themselves, and the satisfaction they mani
fested at the result.
Our Mechanics are generally employed,
and less suffering has been felt among them
in our city, than we hear and know of in
many others. Wages has decreased, but in
more than an equal ratio has provisions,
clothing, rents, negro hire and all the neces
saries of life receded, and therefore to a
sober, industrious mechanic, the limes arc
rather an advantage than a disadvantage.
Under this head we may also state, that a
sale of city lots took place about a month
since, and they brought about the same
prices as some that were sold three yeais
ago. Buildings are going up in many parts
of the city, principally of brick, and of three
and four stories high; they are being put up
by men who have the means of their own,
not “city loans” and “borrowed capital,”
and that too, without cramping themselves
in their business operations. It is a favora
ble time to such men, when materials and
workmen are to be had at lower prices than
for years past, and they seem to be desirous
of availing themselves of the favorable mo
ment ere it flies. The steady increase in
our population also warrants such under
takings. Another fact may be taken into
into consideration, that such property has
depreciated but very little in the past two
years, and in comparison with 1837, it has
advanced rather than deteriorated. The
fact is, our Rail Road has opened a larger
market to us, and brought us more cus
tomers, and Savannah does not lack men of
sufficient penetration to see, that this in
crease cannot suddenly be cut off from it,
but that in the natural order of things it
must go on. Yours,
TIMOTHY.
*The FOLtcy alluded to, but not fully explained, is
that of spending their summers among tiiose, whose
business during the winter is entrusted to their care,
and not going North and Cast to get rid of the profits
of the few months they live at the South.

To “Beaver Tail” and “Ticklegizzard.”

Just listen, and I’ll pick ’em I
I’ll point you first to “ Hello’s Plains,”
And pass you on to “ Trickem.”
Then trip across the “ Bushy uobe”—
There’s “Fair Play,” by the Dickens!
Jack Wittich says it has the odds
Os all the world, both far and near,
For children and for chickens!
You’ve cut your “ wheat,’’ go hoe your corn
I’ve told you : look to your potatoes;
Your verses make ; your hoe-cakes bake;
Call all the little Wishful’s in,

O’er roasted corn and ripe tomatoes.

diseases is well established, especially in Dyspepsia and
general debility- It is pleasant to the taste, and does
not interfere with ordinary diet —making it a very agree*
able medicine. Mr. Farguson’s certificate is annexed.

CERTIFICATE.
This is to certify, that I purchased of Johnston tk
Robson, of Madison, Georgia, six bottles of Houok’n
Panacea, which was administered to my wife who bad
been lingering with Dyspepsia for Bor 10 years, scarce
ly ever seeing a well day. She has received so much
benefit from its use that she firmly believes she would’
have been in the grave had she not have taken it. She
is now in good health, for her age, being now about 60
years old. It has also benefitteu my neighbors. Its uss
will be very general in our County, when its virtues
are tested. It is mild and pleasant, and can be cheer
fully recommended by me as a very valuable Family
Medicine. JOHN FARGASON.
Henry County, Georgia, July 3,1841.
