would like to choose their Pedagogue ; and one of the first qualities they would seek to find in a teacher would be Modesty— yes, Modesty— that precious jewel, which is so very rarely imported into this country from— abroad. But the new series, N0.7, is out, and what have we ? Why a very neatly printed and covered pamphlet of sixty-four pages, with a pretty engraving of Tallulah Falls, dated March, 1312. What says the editor now ? He gives us again his reasons for the change, and reiterates the charge of a want of “ ele vated taste” on the part of Georgians ; but a „ a in administers a large potion of “ soft sawder” to his patrons—promises so and so. But hear what he says himself: “ We shall give few, but splendid pictures.” “We de sign to give (did you not bargain for more?) onlv three or four illustrations on steel in the present volume.” “Instead of two plates and eight pages of reading, we shall give one plate bi-monthly.” And again, in the same number he says, “ But we forbear any positive promises just now. Our friends shall see, what they shall see.” We have seen what we have seen ; but, unfortunately for the veracity of the editor, we have not seen those very splendid engrav ings which he tells us cost three hundred dollars each. Now, I ask any candid, straight forward man, if there is not a mani fest want of consistency in the way he prom ises, and a strange want of moral honesty in their fulfilment? He says he will make no positive promises; then, conscience and me mory were at work, arraying before him his repeated failures to comply with former promises. Anti again, in the same number, he says, that “ instead of two plates and eight pages of reading, we shall give one plate bi-monthly Now, if that is not a pos itive promise, 1 do not understand the Eng lish language; and if it is, Mi-. Editor of “Orion,” alias “Georgia Illustrated,” alias the Modern Humbug, forgot that he had said he would make no positive promises. But enough of this number. April passes off, and no “Orion” rises in the literary firmament—as promised—with its starry band, to dissipate the mental dark ness of Georgia’s tasteless sons and daught ers; and why ? Behold, in May a number comes forth, with a “ Particular Notice” that the worthy editor had been trying to bargain off his work, patrons and all, to an other concern—the “ Family Companion” and “ Augusta Mirror.” Alas ! alas !of what strange texture is this world’s consis tency ! arid how feeble the witlis of moral obligation ! They are snapped with every twist of this twisting editor. The June number arrives, with a “No tice to Subscribers,” bearin'; the intelligence that “l he plate intended for this number, not being finished in time for a seasonable issue, it is postponed until our next, the Ju ly number.” Postponed again-! ! But he promises “ The plate, without accident, will he ready for our next number,” and he as serts —what, if he intended to keep his prom ise, there was no necessity for his asserting— that “ no reader of Orion will suppose that this delay of the plate will diminish aught, the number of illustrations promised in this volume,. Why make this declaration ? Had his readers a right to expect any thing else than a faithful compliance with his promis es ? or, did lie feel that his repeated non compliances might justly create a suspicion in their minds that July would be no more ornamental than June—that, indeed, the whole volume would t un its course un-illus trated ? We will see, what wo shall see ! July comes, and, along towards the close, “Orion” comes—and another disappoint ment comes —and another apology comes — hut no “exquisite engtavingof the Curra heeMountain” comes; and why? Because the engraver, not having received the price of the engraving, refuses to execute it !- Hear what the veracious editor says : “ Af ter the issue of our June number, and just as we were on the eve of sending the final remittance, we received word from the en graver that nothing (astonishing !) had been done to the plate, because the whole amount bad not been received.” These engravers certainly are very “ scampy” fellows : af ter making a contract to do a certain thing, and after receiving one-third the price—as the editor says they did—thenjto fail! I would not trust them again, if I were you. It is one-third as had as that editor has done, who after receiving of his patrons five dollars each, for twelve numbers of “ Georgia Il lustrated,” with two splendid steel engrav ings in each number—making in all twenty four for one year—only supplies them with fourteen, and then kindly tells them that six engravings are now (after the work is done) almost ready to embellish six numbers of his forth-coming volume. But of this by-und-by. Tour engraver was an apt scholar, if you were the teacher, in learning the art of-—of— violating contracts. Strange, in June he tells us that several days work is necessary to perfect the engra ving in the style in which lie intends to have all his pictures done. By-the*way, your style of engraving is exceedingly airy in these days; anew style truly—neither lith otint or mezzotint—done in air, with neith er pencil nor burin, hut with another instru ment far better adapted to the execution of the new style—i. e. the Tongue ! What a graver the tongue is ! Could you tell us how you knew in June that a few days were necessary only —for that is the idea you in tended to convey—to perfect the engraving, and yet in July—about thelast of July too — you tell us that not a lick lias been struck upon it ? Nearly done in June, not, begun in July, and altogether abandoned in August ! i acknowledge it staggers my powers : I can’t see through it, except in one way, and that is, to believe—as I conceive I have a tight to do—that the editor of “ Orion” did not intend to fulfil his contract with his pa trons, as to the engravings. To my mind this is plain. Eut to close this article, already too long. *he last number, which closes this vol ume, unfortunately for the editor, he has in serted an extract of a letter from his broth er—the Artist —in which lie—the Artist— says : “ The annoyances arising from your plates, I trust are now over. I expect to hrtng all the illustrations for your next vol ume with me, on my return home.” Now, die point to which I desire to bring the read er's mind is just this; “ Georgia Illustra ted” was the work I, with many others, sub scribed for. That work was to contain 24 steel engravings of Georgia Scenery. Af ter the expiration of nearly two years, the patrons of that work have received 14 en gravings, (the engravings, every one knows, constituted, or were to constitute, the germ of the work ;) after repeated failures on the part of the editor to comply with his prom ises ; after changing the character of the work entirely, from an illustrated to a mis cellaneous, or literary work ; after failing to give one engraving bi-monthly, as he said he should do, in the last number he informs us that the work will he shortly resumed, and that the illustrations will go on ; and his brother says, he expects to bring all the il lustrations for the next volume with him. I ask, now, in all justice, if the editor is not hound, as an honest man, to furnish each one of his old patrons the exact amount of engra vings that they paid him for ? And again, I ask, why it is that the engraving could not he done as promptly a year ago as now ? I ask again, if the inference is got irresista hle, that he has humbugged the subscribers to “Georgia Illustrated” out of the funds vvitli which he has had engraved the plates for his second volume of “ Orion ?” These six illustrations for “Orion” costeachs3o0 — the six, eighteen hundred dollars. The ed itor says lie is “ unburdened with wealth who pays, I ask for the picture ? * I have done. Done with “ Georgia Illus trated ;” done with “Orion;” done with the editor, and I am glad to find in his last arti cle to his patrons he says, “we have now no promises to make.” Stick to that; let it be vryir motto ; stick it on your cover, your title-page, your conscience. Don’t promise anything, until you have kept those (by fulfilling your contract) so frequently made to your old patrons. ONE OF THEM. At Home, October 19, 1542.

ELECTIONS. Georgia. —The late Milledgeville papers give the returns from S3 counties for mem bers of Congress, the result of which is as follows : Campbell 32.3G0 Black 34,222 Gamble, 32,608 Cobb, 34,25S Habersham, 32,549 Cooper, 34,549 Ivenan, 35.238 Haralson, 34,231 King, 32,210 Lamar, 34,355 Sinead. 31,865 Lumpkin, 34 211 Wilde, 32,380 Millen, 34,105 Wiighf, 32,565 Stiles, 34,231 Legislative returns are given from 70 counties, leaving only Irwin,. Paulding, and Ware,to be heard from which are democratic counties. jJi the 73 Senators elected, the dcmocratsave 54 and the wliigs 38—a tie in Washington. Os 207 Representatives elected, including those from the three dem ocratic counties, yet to he heard from, the democrats have 115 and the wliigs 70—ties in the counties of Morgan and Heard. Pennsylvania. —The democrats will, it is believed, have a majority in both brandies of the State Legislature. New Jersey. —The wliigs have secured the ascendancy int his State. The Legislature stands—Council, 10 wliigs, 8 democrats— Assembly, 33 whigs, 25 democrats. Ohio. —So far as heard from the whigs have elected 5 Senators and 10 Representa tives. Returns for Governor have been re ceived from 31 counties, “ which induce the impression,” says the “ Wheeling Gazette,” “ that Corwin, the whig candidate is beat en. Maryland. —The democrats will have a majority of 6 on joint ballot in the Legisla ture of this State, which will give them the Senator in Congress. The “ Baltimore Patriot” attributes the result to divisions in the whig ranks. In the three Whig counties ! a <d unj m Eia ib Astir* of Montgomery, Somerset and Worcester five delegates were lost, by division, which would have secured the ascendancy of the party in the Legislature. As it is, they have a democratic assembly and a whig Senate. Connecticut. —The icturns show a large accession to the whig ranks in this State, “ enough,” says the “ New Haven Palladi um,” “to satisfy us that Connecticut will next spring elect the whig ticket by an over whelming majority.” Vermont. —The full returns show that the whigs have it all their own way in Vermont. The vote shows a gain of 3000 since last year. Gov. Paine (whig) is elected by a majority of 2423 over Smilie (detn.,) and in the Legislature the whig majority, on joint ballot, is 30. THE SOUTHERN WHIG AGAIN. Ever since the unprovoked attack of the editor of the Whig on this paper, we have been disposed to regard that gentleman as one of those unfortunate beings whose er rors should always be attributed to their mental imbecility ; and it was more in char ity than in anger that we put the construc tion vve did upon his reply to our article. But his last paper has convinced us that his disorder is more extensive than we at first supposed. What he lacks in his head he has not in his heart; and if we may judge from the littleness of soul, and the utter dis regard for truth which characterise his last production, his whole mental and moral be ing is morbid, vicious and sadly deformed. He will not have it that he was prompted by a desire to create “a little diversion” in his attack upon the “ Miscellany,” and inci dentally upon our town and patrons —hut he insists upon being considered in the light of one of those little fice-dogs, who, when they see an unequal contest, are sure tojump upon the weaker party. He found us en gaged against odds—he saw us endeavoring to vindicate our character against a vile cheat and slanderer, from whom we had received deep wrong, and endeavoring to maintain the integrity of our opinions against an arrant humbug. They were both upon us, employ ing all the means, private and public, open and concealed, that they could bring to our hurt—and right in the midst of our encoun ter, the valiant editor of the Whig pounces at our heels. This is the honorable mede for which he contends—this is the distinction to which the belly- potent “ big gun of the party” aspires. So be it—we esteem him of little consequence, cither as the ally of our enemies, or the buffoon in his efforts to get up newspaper “ diversions.” In the controversy between ourself and the editor of the Whig, we have scorned to use the weapons of his enemies against him, although abundantly at our command, hold ing it as we do, disreputable to make com mon cause with those, the merits of whose quarrels we know not, simply because our antagonist is the same. There is an animal, a quadruped of the genus mustcla that de files itself in order to damage its enemy. The editor is a worthy liped representative of the beast in question, and shows in his last article how ready he is to “consort” with filth to enable himself to throw filth at us. The poverty of manly sentiment which he exhibits in his allusion to our connection with the “ Companion” and “ Mirror,” is only equalled by his misrepresentations of the truth in the same connection. Ilis pitiable attempt to create the belief that he was instigated to direct his “big gun” —that same terrible engine that has kept tip such an incessant cannonading against the Central Bank, with such signal injury to the cause in which lie pretends to be enlisted —against us, by a little paragraph of ours about the last Congresses about equalled by the logical consistency of his paragraphs in relation to the authorship of his first article. In his second article he denies that the at tack upon us was written by the gentleman to whom we had attributed it, and adds— “ We feel confident that when the editor of the “ Miscellany” is apprised of this fact that he will cheerfully repair the injury he has inflicted.” Being assured by the gen tleman himself, that he had no agency in the production, we did most cheerfully take the earliest opportunity of correcting our error. Now hear the chivalric editor. In his last he says— “ Jack Falstaff, who was the bravest man that ever lived, was blessed with a most ex uberant fancy, and judging fiom the valient manner in which the editor of the Miscella ny retreated from his false accusation about the authorship of our first piece, we would suppose that he was one of his truest de scendants.” How consistent are the editor’s remarks —at one time he had not a doubt that we would cheerfully correct our error—in his next paper lie makes a flourish about valor, because we did not persist in our false sur mise (not serious accusation.) The extracts need no comment —they serve both as an illustration of his mother-wit and his moral principle. In speaking of the editor we have not the same apprehensions he expresses in regard i to ourself. We would not detract one jot or little from his fame. There being two qualities of notoriety, and as it is quite plain, which of the two lie is destined to acquire, if he persists in his course, we are perfect ly willing to give him rope. But enough—we take our leave of the editor for this time, with the renewal of our former assurance, that we will urge upon the next Congress, the passage of a vote of thanks to him for his valient services, to he accompanied by a leather medal, with this device and inscription:—On one side, his “portly presence,” recumbent upon a pine box by the door of his office, eating chinka pins, with the words—“ the big gun of the party—the defender of the long Congress.” On the reverse, a Pantaloon, rampant, with the words—“ diversions arc always at the expense.of the clown.” THE “ ORION.” This precious humbug lor September is before us at last, and, as we are informed by the editor, for the last time. The reader must not understand by this that his literary ighuess has given over his effort to palm his northern pamphlet upon the southern pub lic as the “ faithful orgati of our interests, and a liberal exponent of our literary char acter;” —oh, no, it only means that he lias determined no longer to exchange with the “ Miscellay”—-our sanctum is no longer to he illuminated by the celestial brightness of “Orion.” Glancing through the pages of the num ber before us, our eye was attracted by the maiks ofa pen in blue ink upon the margin, opposite which we read the following sen tences : “ The editor to whom this paragraph comes marled will find that his paper is blotted out from our exchange list. * * * If he is still very desirous of having a copy of Orion, on which to vent his petty spleen and malice, prohaly his friend —■ — can sup ply him; or it not, our publisher may possi bly consent to let him have one for five dol lars, if paid in advance, though we should rather nut have such a*subscriber at all.” Now, we have only to snv in reply to the above, that it the humbugeous editor ima gines that vve shall receive this slight in any unkindness lie is vastly mistaken. On the contrary he promises to save us an item of postage for which vve are slightly obliged to him ; and we doubt not that many of his subscribers to “ Georgia Illustrated” would feel gratuful to him for the same iavor. For our own part, we never lost many nights’ sleep in the perusal of our God-child “Ori on.” If we looked into it, it was only to amuse ourself with the editor’s effrontery and unblushing impudence ; and when, as in the last number, we occasionally met a good original article from a Shoutbern pen, vve regretted to find it in such shabby com pany, as the mawkish tales and nambv-pam by, vvhity-brownish essays to which the edi tor is in the habit of affixing the initials of some member of his precocious family— particularly those of “ our brother,” who in this number, is made to write from New \ oik about us and the plates, and who is ac counted a very liteiary young gentleman by those who have perused his MS. We have no particular use for “Orion,” hut as the editor promises several colored plates, which lie modestly pronounces “ a feature unparal leled in the history of magazine illustrations,” and as our devil is very fond of “ pretty pictures,” and would probably he pleased with that department of the work—though vve believe his taste is rather too elevated to appreciate the literary character of the “ Orion the editor will send it to his address, vve will errait bis long standing ac count with five dollars ; though we confess that if we considered a bnnh account him of S2O, worth the paper it is recorded on we would hardly make so great a sacrifice in these times for the gratification of the idle curiosity of our devil, good a hoy as he is. Another marginal index points us to an other of the many allusions to our “ obscure paper,” with which the editorial department of the number abounds. In a little blarney for the press, the editor says, “ there lias been hut one exception to their courtesy and hearty commendation.” This is a mistake. Though the gentleman is largely indebted to the characteristic forbearance of the Southern press, which prompts editors often to commend where they should con demn, and which holds just indignation in check until sotne especial cause—some di rect provocation induces them to mete out to such unblushing pretenders their true de serts —yet he may not say that the “ Mis cellany” is the only paper that has dealt more in candor than in courtesy with his work. The “ Charleston Mercury,” a daily journal, that certainly cannot be considered by the editor more “obscure” than the “Mis cellany”—a paper, that in such matters has “ a voice potential,” here at the South—lias said, speaking of the “ Orion”— “One of these difficulties lie still labors under—it is a slightly excessive develope ment of “ promise”—some call it brag, and the Doctors call it quackery. It is suited only for those publications whose whole merit is in show, and fits not well the “ Ori on” which aspires to the reputation of sub stantial worth. # * * In the editorial ( department there is nothing to notice, and it , is a great defect of the “Orion” that this de partment has never yet added any thing to f the character of the Magazine.” Does the editor call this “ hearty com mendation”—if he does he knows things by different names than those by which vve are accustomed to call them. But if he has es caped that hearty condemnation by the South ern press which hisattempt to gull the litera ry public of the South, so justly merits, he may thank his adroitness at humhuggery, or “ quackery,” as the “ Mercury” calk it, and not liis honest merit. ‘ Had they all the sam<; opportunity of knowing the man—-were they all as well noqnniuted with the deep deception practised upon them as vve are— vve doubt not he would no longer felicitate himself upon the “ hearty commendation” of the press. The number before us exhibits the man in his true character. On opetiinc it vve dis covered that a slip which had been pasted in the front had been carefully removed, and feeling some curiosity to know what it was that the editor had treated his suhscrilsers with, hut which we were not to see, vve pro cured a number from a friend which con tained the precious morcenu from which we extract the following characteristic “ swell:” “ Removrl of Orion. —Our subscribers are informed that this work will he immediate ly removed to Athens, where it will i>e on the first of each month, from entirely new type, and on the finest paper. In conse queuce of the delays accruing from removal and improvements, no number will he issued for October, hut the fiist part of volume two will appear on the first of November, upon the most beautiful type, just purchased ex pressly for the u'orh —ina new embellished cover—and illustrated with-— See. See.” In this card the word “ printed” is erased with a pen, and “ issued” written over it.— All this parade about “ entirely new type — consequent “delays,” “removal,” &c, —is in tended to create the impression on the pub lic mind that the work is to he removed from New York to Athens, when in fact it is still to he printed and issued from the press in New York, with an Athens instead of a Pen field imprint. The word printed was too strong —detection might follow in lies as in some other little matters— issued was a technical feim little understood by the gen eral reader, and would serve as a “ blind,” to enable him to palm off his Northern catch penny picture book, as a purely Southern periodical—Oh shame, where is thy blush ! Since writing the above we have received a communication from an indignant patron of “ Georgia Illustrated,” which, though rather long, vve are constrained to give, in order that our readers may lie enabled to decide whether or not we are right in the course vve have pursued towards the illus trious editor-—whether or not he is a hum bug. OBITUARY. Died, in this place, on Wednesday, the 19th instant, WEEKLY J PEARMAN', Esq., aged about forty three years. So far from being promp’cd, in a brief notice of our departed friend, simply bv the desife of relatives or a compliance with the forms of respect to the dead, we can but regret our inability to bestow upon him such an eulogium as his merits d<serve. Faults, we know, lie had But if there is one among his innumerable friends who is without them, even in: must unite with us in deploring the loss of a warm, generous and devo ted friend—an honest, capable and patriotic citizen, and an amiable and honorable man. A thousand hearts will fee! a pang of sorrow, when they hear that Pearman is no more I Death, “in the midst of life,” has torn him from the hopes and endearments which bound him to the world ; and be lies pale and cold in Itis grave! When he died, as liberal and kindly, and lofty a spirit as cvcranimated a human bosom, went to its God That hand so often extended in cordial friend ship, will never move again; those eyes that have so often sparkled with wit, and life, and soul, are closed in “sleep that knows no waking;” and that henrt which has so long heat to the emotions of honor and affection, will heat no more! But it is the will of just Heaven, and who shall murmur ? Mr. Pearman was born in the County of Wilkes, on the l!th of November, 1799. The youthful buoyancy and gaiety of his spirit overpowered his love of study, until the age of 17, when, at the Madison Academy, under the tuition of Colonel Augustus Alden, lie com meneed the work of preparation for usefulness and dis tinction : and while a member of this institution, his conduct was marked by that amiable and generous, yet resolute and decided disposition, which character ized his subsequent life. The originality and humor which have since made him a favorite in bis profession, were observed with peculiar interest by his preceptor, and became more remarkable with his progress in stu dy. Such was his zealous devotion to books, that in less than three years he was advised to direct his atten tion more immediately to a profession. Accordingly, he commenced the study of Law with John W.Camp bell, Esq.—then a citizen of Madison—and in 1821 was admitted to practice. His talents as an Advocate soon gave him reputation at the Bar, and his affable and popular manners rapidly gained friends. He became the people’s favori'e. A large majority of the voters of Morgan were eager to elect him to any office within their gift. Titus, with a harvest of gold w ithin his grasp, and “honors thick clustering upon his youthful brow,” he seemed the favorite of fortune, and destined to take his place among the first in the constellation of Geor gia's great names. But that fell monster which has be fore darkened so many bright intellects, nnd debased so many manly sotds with the fumes of the intoxicating glass, stole insidiously upon him, ami wrecked his hopes, wasted lus fortune, alienated his friends, and blighted his fair name ; hut even in hit) lowest estate, those sterl ing qualities which had endeared Inin to his fellow citi zens, sometimes shone forth to remind them of their former strength and splendor. His associates w ill re collect his conduct in 1836, when volunteers for Flori da were coiled for in Morgan. While others, by their eloquent appeals, were urging their friends to “go,” I’earman’s language was “ came, and let us go!” He went with his company, nnd served the four months’ campaign, with tho courage and fortitude of the true soldier. A few months ago he resolved to reform his life, and this resolution was adhered to until death, lie was fast restoring himself to public confidence. Old Mends were returning, professional patronage was increasing, and the liveliest hope was entertained of his future u-e ----fulnesß and honor; but Death has summoned him to the tomb. We would have stayed Ins ruthless hand, hut ef forts were in vain, his appointed hour had eotnc, nnd the King ok Terrors claimed him forhisown. In the flash of hope, nnd prime of manhood he was stiickrti down nnd consigned to that “ narrow house of silence” in reserve for all the living, nnd we nre left to “ Mourn for the noble hearted, Mourn for the gifted one; The ties that bound him here are parted, His work on earth is done.” O. LATE PROM TEXES. The New Orleans “Crescent City” of t£io 15th instant, says:—“ The schooner Henry, Gi imes, arrived here last evening from Ls bacco Bay, Texas. She brongfe* no papers, but we learn from Captain G times that Gen, Burleson, with 1100 troops, had pwr* sued the Mexicans under Gen. Wall from Sarf Antonio. The enemy were fortifying them selves et the river Medina, and Gen. Bur leson intended to attack them at that place* as soon as lie received reinforcements. The citizens of Matagorda and the surrounding country were turning out to join the army Gen. Wall had advanced within 20 miles of San Antonio east of the river Sc wills, where he met Capt. Caldwell, with 100 Texians, an engagement took place, in which 100 Mexicans were killed and 100 wounded. Capt. Caldwell succeeded in cutting his way through, after being sur rounded several days, without the loss of a man. A company of 50 men from Lagrange in attempting to reinforce Cajitain Caldwell’s company, were cut off by the Mexicans, and 40 of them killed, 7 prisoners and three escaped. The Lagrange company kept the Mexicans at bay until they brought their artillery to bear. It was currently reported, that Austin had been burned by the Mexicans. {£/*’ We are gratified to learn from the New York “ Tribune” that T. W.
