“ Yes, but I want to go to Madisen, to see
Mr. Thompson on tickler bisness.”
“ This is Mr. Thompson’s place of bis
• vou’ll find him thar,” says he, pintin
to a big onen brick house.
Well, I went thar, but he was the rale rode
acint, what keeps the hooks of the concarn.
“Oh, no,” says i, “ its the other Mr.Thomp
son what I want to see.”
“ Well, there he is,” says Mr. Thompson,
“jest cum down from Covington.”
When I went to the man he pinted to, he
axed pie .if I wanted to take a contract on
the rode ? “ Lord, no,” says I, “ I want to
see Mr. Thompson bout a very different
kind of a contract.
“ Perhaps you will find him over in that
bildin,” says he.
Well, over I went.
“ Kin we serve you this mornin, sir? Do
vou wish to store your cotton ?” says he.
“ No, no,” says I, “ I want to see Mr.
Thompson what edits the Miscellany.”
“ Oh,” says he, “ that Mr. Thompson—
my name’s Thomason. You’ll find him at
the Planter’s Hotel : the first good lookin
man you see with spectickles.”
Good grashus, thinks I, if the old French
man had lived in Beaver Tale he would a
found monsieur Tonsons enuff to kill him
“ sevral time,” as he says in the play. Well,
I put out for the Planter’s as fast as I could
whar you know I found you at last—but
(1 hope you wont be riled at what I say,) if
it hadn’t been for the specks I wouldn’t a
knowd you by Mr. Thomason’s description.
I needn’t tell you agin how much I is
bleeged to you for yer kindness and advise
in that tickelerly delicate bisness on which
we-conversed. Takin every thing in con
siderashun, I am very much pleased with
my visit to Madisen ; and sense I went to
Makiu and your town Pm moren ever in fa
vor of travellin. I think the riter was bout
rite, who said “ the world is a monstrous
big book, full of picters and good readin,
but he that never travels only reads the title
page.” I blieve I’ll go the city of Athens
next.
You know I tuck dinner at the Planter’s
with you. Well, I was put a leetle to the
onplus by that old nigger feller what waits
on the table thar. I didn’t know what to
make of the old feller. He flew round me
like I was Mr. Clay, or sum other grate
karacter.
“ Will you have sum of theßerskireham,”
says he, “ or syn of the Durham beef—first
rate, stall fed, sir, jest imported.”
“ Why, you aim got English provisions
here, is you, old feller ?” says I.
“ Certain, master; we don’t sarve up
nothin else at the Planter’s—pure English,
in Frencli style.”
I tuck a piece of the Durham.
“ Have a little of the essense ?” says he,
puttin sum gravy on it; “ shall I have yer
plate splied with a piece of veal—real Dur
ham—only twelve year old ? Take sum of
the Irishmans, sir? A piece of the turky—
wild turky, cotchd wild in the Okefenoky—
first rate ? Some peach sas, made out ob
the large English white reserve peaches, wat
grow big as yer fist.sir?” and fore I knowd
what to say, he had my plate piled up with
good things, so I couldn’t clear it in a hour,
hnrd eatin at that.
“ Have a nother plate, sir ?” says he. I’d
eat moren I wanted then, but every body, as
fur as I could see, on both sides, was gittin
clean plates, so thinks I, here goes.
“ Have sum ob the kramberry tarts,” says
the old feller, “ what groes on grape vines,
or sum ob the North-Carolina black berrys,
second sister to the goose berry ? Kustad,
sir— tater kustad, made out ob the biggest
kind o’ yams ? Here’s a hot one, sir, rite
<sut the mouth ob a red hot oben ? Have
sum milk, sir—Durham cows’; buttermilk,
if you like, rich as cream ?” And that’s the
way the old feller went on, never crackin a
smile all the time; and_l like to busted jest
eatin to blige him.
In the afternoon, I tuck a look at your
town—and a mighty smart town it is—but I
needn’t tell you nothin bout that. At sup
per, thar was that old feller agin, flyin round
the long table, with his check apern on und
a sarver in one hand.
“ Will you have a hot biskit,” says be,
“ made out ob Canal flower from imported

1 and sot thar, he’d kep me eatin till this time.

A writerbeautifully remarks, that a man’s
mother is the representative of his Maker.
Misfortune, and even crime, set up no bar
tiers between her and her son. While his
mother lives he will have one friend on earth
who will not listen w hen he is slandered,
who will not desert him when he suffers,
who will soothe him in his sorrows, and
speak to him of hope when he Is ready to
dispair. Her affection knows no ebbing
bde. It flows on from a pure fountain, and
speaks happiness thro’ this vale of tears, and
ceases only at the ocean of eternity.

MADISON, GEO .’
Saturday, October 29, ISI2.
MADISON MARKET.
The business has not been so heavy as
that of the previous six days. The amount
of Cotton ‘received has been considerably
less, owing to a disposition on the part of
planters to hold back for advanced pricAi.
Whether or not this will prove to be good
policy remains to be seen. The European
market is dull, and our crop large, even be
yond the probable consumption, in these
days of retrenchment, aud it may lie that
our present prices aie better at which to sell
than to hold. We quote 6J to 6J for prime,
and 4 to 6 for midling and ordinary quali
ties.
Our merchants continue well supplied
with Dry Goods and Groceries, and seem
to vie with each other in selling cheap. In
deed we doubt if goods are retailed in any
Southern market at lower prices than in
Madison. We give the selling prices of the
leading articles—Gunny Baggiug, 22; hea
vy do., 44 inches, 20 to 22; do., 42 ‘inches,

THE ELECTION
To fill the vacancy in our representation,
occasioned by the tie betvveen Messrs. No

THE WEATHER.
As if times were not hard enough, and
tilings were not all out of joint, and up bill,
and pinched, and tough and melancholy
enough, old Jack Frost has been trying
what he could do to help the cause; and the
way be has blackened and seared and shri
velled up things, is painful to look upon. —
All the vegetable inhabitants of the earth
—save some few, the pines and other cold
blooded insensible ever-greens—have put
on their winter garments. Some of the
more delicate have assumed a pale hictic
hue, indicative of their rapid decline and
falling away; others have dressed in their
gayest, fiery red, as if they would bang out
the banner of defiance to the last, and yield
only with their ensanguined colors flying.
Old Jack is at bis work, and those who rise
early enough might catch the old fellow
making free with and nipping
u'ider the sky. We know somebody’s nose
that he’ll be smart if he bites it.
ADVERTISING.
Many of our friends, we are glad to no
tice, are beginning to perceive the advan
tages which result to men of business from
advertising. Every individual citizen in a
town likeours is interested in its prosperity,
and ir. no way can the commerce of town
or city be so effectually augmented as by a
liberal and businesslike policy on the part
of the merchants, mechanics and others who
compose its inhabitants. If the merchants
of Madison would profit by the advantage
of their position, and turn to account the
great business facilities which they at pre
sent etijoy, they must keep their own public
at least advised of their ability to supply
their demands.
We flatter ourself too, that our “ Miscel
lany” is a very desirable medium for adver
tising, and we think that those of our whole
sale merchants of Augusta and Charleston,
who look to the up-country of Georgia for a
large share of their business, would do well
to resort to it. Besides the advantages of
our widely extended and rapidly inersasing
birculation, our columns are not filled with
stale advertisements, or long prospectuses
which have outlived the periodicals for
which they were written, and our readers
turn not from them us they would from the
pages of an old almanack, but they read
them, knowing that they are new and fresh,
and insetted for their information, and not
merely to fill our space ; which we general
ly manage to occupy with something at least
as interesting as old advertisements. Let
those who desire a shave of the up-country
business profit by the hint.
\Vh have seen it stated in some of
our exchange papers that the valuable
country residence of Nicholas Biddle, is
shortly to be sold at Sheriff’s Sale. What
a fall! Verily “ riches take to themselves
wings and fly away.”
8 HI 31 IS IE H
CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.
The official returns of all the counties
show the following result:
Chappell 32.950 Black 35,220
Gamble, 33,244 Cobb, 35,267
Habersham, 33,483 Cooper, 35,451
Kenan, 32,827 Haralson, 35,163

Wilile, 32,997 Millen, 35,026
Wiigbt, 33,215 Stiles, 35,164
In accordance with the above vote, Gov.
McDonald has issued bis proclamation an
nouncing the election to Congress of Messrs.
Black, Cooper, Cobb, Haralson, Lamar,
Lumpkin, Millen and Stiles.
It seems that we are likely to have some
difficulty iri the political world (of Georgia)
about the district system. We have beard
it stated that the democrats recently elected
will resign, that the State will be apportion
ed oft’ into districts by the present Legisla
ture, and that anew election will be held
under the district arrangement in the spring.
We have heard this, and we have heard it
denied. The only move we have ceen in
the matter, is the nomination of the Hon.
Butler King, at a whig meeting in Savan
nah, for re-election under the District Sys
tem, “ upon the idea,” says the Republican,
“ that the present democratic ticket will not
be permitted to take their seats.” The edi
tor concludes by observing that if the pre
sent Legislature will not pioceed to appor
tion off the State as directed by the law of
the last Congress, “ then the people must
assemble in primary meeting, and elect de
legates to a Convention for that purpose.”
“ MACON GEORGIA TELEGRAPH.”
What would any sensible child of ten
years old think, were he to hear our little
badinage with the editor of the “Telegraph”
termed “ ill-natured ?” He would doubt
his understanding of the term, or the sane
ness of the individual so calling it. Yet Dr.
Bartlett says it is so. “ 111-natured” indeed!
Anything in the “Macon Telegraph” excite
our ill-nature ! What presumption ! Cer
tain causes produce certain effects, and wo
have generally considered that there was
an intimate relation between cause and ef
fect. Ipecacb, for instance, as the Doctor
well knows—or; if he does not, the Doctor
can inform’him—produces a very different
effect from that of Spanish flies. We are
not even ill-natured nous —not the least—and
we are determined the Doctor shall not
make us so; he may nauseate, but he shall
not inflame our mental stomach. So cork
up your thunder, Doctor.
“THE BULLETIN.”
We have received the first number of a
new paper, issued from the city of Macon,
with the above title. It is neutral in poli
tics, and devoted to literature, news and
kindred matters, and is edited and published
by Mr. A. P. Burr, who proposes its weekly
continuance, should the patronage warrant.
It is neatly printed, on a fair royal sheet, at
$1 50 per annum, or 6J cents per number.
We trust it will receive a support equal to
its merit.
Gy*’ Where is the “ Chicora ?” We have
not greeted this agreeable “Messenger of
the South” for a month past. We know
not how to account for its absence from our
table.
HANCOCK PLANTERS’ CLUB.
The annual fair of this praiseworthy as
sociation will beheld at Sparta, on Friday
the 4tb of next month. It is, we believe,
the only society, of the kind, in the State,
and, we learn, that it has already accom
plished much in the advancement of Agri
cultural science, and in exciting that lauda
ble spirit of emulation so productive of
good to whatever interest upon which it
may be brought to bear. How much more
commendable are the efforts of the Han
cock planters, than are the operations of
those associations ostensibly for the improve
ment of the breed of horses, but which are
in reality for the support and amusement of
gamblers, and which instead of effecting any
good, are the most powerful agencies for
the deterioration of both horses aud their
masters. One such Club as that in Han
cock is worth to Georgia more than all the
Jocky Clubs in her holders, and the premi
ums it offers forllie best productions of her
soil and industry, though small, will, in the
amount of good effected, far outvalue all
the purses that were ever contended for on
her turfs. For the benefit of those of our
readers, who may feel an interest in such
matters, we make the following ext racts from
the Secretary’s card : “ They respect
fully invite their fellow-citizens of the several
counties to pay them a visit on that day.—
Arrangements will be made for the accom
modations of Ladies, and they are respect
fully invited to honor the Club with their
presence.”
“ Order of the Day. —The Club will as
semble in the Court house precisely at 10
o’clock, where its business will be transact
ed, and then proceed to the Female Academy
where an address will be delivered by the
Honorable Garnett Andrews, an honorary
member of Club—after which the various
Committees will proceed to the discharge
of their respective duties.
“ Ample arrangements will be made for
all Stock, and the various Domestic, Manu
factures that may be offered for exhibition.”
FRUITS OF THE TREATY.
In the late celebration of the introduction of
theCroton water into the city of New York,
and which, by the by, must have been a
splendid affair, from the newspaper accounts
—Mr, Buchanan, the British Consul, and
his son, the Vice Consul, participated. They
appeared in their official costume, seated in
a barouche, drawn by four beautiful horses.
The Consul bore in his hand a small British
flag, and the vehicle was decorated with a
gilded pole, on which floated the flags of
England and the United States, attached by
a wreath of olive branch, surmounted with
three large ostrich feathers, “ the Prince of
Wales plume.” To the united flags a card
was appended upon which was inscribed—
“Motherand Daughter united—the peace
of the world preserved.” This must have
been a grateful sight to the lovers of peace.
PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT FOR SALE.
The veteran editor of the “ Constitution
alist,” offers the whole, or a part, of his of.
fice foi sale. He says—
” The paper issued from it is in good repu
tation, with a respectable list of subscribers,
and well supported by a goodly number of
advertising customers. Any person wishing
to purchase will be sure to obtain a bargain;
or to any person properly qualified tosuper
inted the mechanical department, read proofs,
and make selections in the absence of the
editor, the sale of one half of it will be at
bis disposal. The materials are good ; and
with about four or five hundred dollars in
new types, the paper can be made to ap
pear as handsome as any in the State.”
MONROE RAIL-ROAD.
The City Council of Savannah have voted
a loan of fifty thousand dollars to the Com
pany, to be applied to the speedy comple
tion of the work from the present terminus
to jts junction with the State Road. It is
contemplated that this assistance will enable
the Company to finish the work in twelve
months from this time.

Avery destructive fire occurred in Liv

of which the papers are chiefly filled. A
large number of houses, ware-houses, and
bonded sheds, containing extensive stores
of merchandise and produce, were consum
ed—among the rest, forty-eight thousand
bales of CottoD, valued ut 384,000 pounds
sterling, which, it is supposed, will cause a
slight advance in prices. The destruction
of property is estimated at ,£516,000. Sev

Lord Ashburton has arrived in England,

articles of exportation to this country.
• TEXAS.
The news from Texas has, within a few
weeks past, greatly increased in interest. It
would seem that the long threatened inva
sion of Texas by the Mexicans lias now com
menced in earnest, and under such formid
able auspices as to excite the apprehensions
of the friends of Texian liberty. For our
own part, we have never doubted the ability
of the young Republic to sustain her cause
single-handed against her barbarian oppres
sors, but we kave reason to fear that Mexi
can gold lias been employed to effect what
Mexican valor could never accomplish.—
Recent indications would seem to warrant
the belief, that the mercenary government
of Great Britain has lent its aid to the ene
mies of Texas. The late Treaty having put
to rest her hopes, or fears, of a collision with
this government, she is in a condition to sell
her influence to Mexico ; and her late refu
sal to recognize the Texian blockade of the
Mexican ports may be taken, in connection
with the naval assistance she has rendered
the latter government, as an indication of
her hostility to the Republic. A letter from
a gentleman in Texas—and which is corro
borated by statements from other sources—
states that a British steamer, manned by
British officers and subjects, and armed with
Paixhan guns, has recently entered the Mex
ican service, to operate against the navy of
Texas. Add to this interference, the inex
plicable conduct of President Houston, by
which the Texian army may be said to have
been not only refused the necessary supplies,
but disbanded, there is great reason to ap
prehend that, in her present state of utipre
paredness, Texas may suffer much from the
invasion of her enemies.
Letters from VeraG'ruz, dated 30th Sep
tember, state that a squadron has been fitted
out at that place, which, it is believed, is de
signed to operate against Texas. News of
an engagement between the two navies is
daily expected. t
We perceive, by a letter from the San
Antonio prisoners, that William E. Jones,
Esq., formerly an eminent citizen of this
State, and now a member of the Texian
Congress, is among the number taken by the
Mexicans at the recent surprise and capture
of that city.
Below we give the most important news
from the seat of war :
From the Mobile Morning Herald.
LATEST FROM TEXAS.
We extract the following from the New
Orleans Crescent City of Saturday last:—
We shall look with anxiety for more com
plete details. We have only to add that
the captain. Caldwell, spoken of below, is
one of the officers lately returned from the
Saute Fc Expedition. Having been a pri
soner in Mexico, and knowing too, that for
him to be taken again in arms against that
government will be certain death, there is
very little danger of his being taken alive
hereafter, by an enemy he knows already
full well, to his own and the sorrow of ma
ny of his suffering comrades. Added to
this, we may say Captain C.’s reputed brave
ry on former occasions precludes the pos
sibility of such an occurrence.
General Woll retired to the Medina,
twenty miles west of San Antonio. Gene
ral Burleson was ir. four miles of Medina,
with 1.000 men, but knowing that General
Woll had barricaded himself,be watt waiting
for reinforcements before be attacked the
Mexicans.
Several skirmishes had taken place. Full
particulars may shortly be expected.”’
Since the above items, (for which we are
indebted to the politeness of tbe officers of
the mail-boat Southern at an early hour yes
terday,) were put in our hands, we have
learned such other particulars as go to show
that Gen. Burleson had driven the Mexicans
under Gen. Woll out of San Antonia, and
back beyond the river Medina. At’ that
point the enemy finding pursuit at an end
for tbe present, had commenced entrench*
ments and preparations for a vigorous de
fence. General B. was within four miles
of bis encampment, awaiting the arrival of
the reinforcements and several pieces of ar
tillery. and was determined as soon as this
accession of strength arrived, which was
hourly expected, to give battle. By this
time, we doubt if there is a hostile Mexican
nearer to Texas than Matamoras or the Rio
Grande. The rumor of the destruction of
the city of Austin by the Mexicans, we do
not believe, and tbe report of tbe approach
of 20 to 30,000 Mexicans upon Texas, we
place to the account of idle and extravagant
gossip, as we have always done such tales
of bloody and terrible invasion. Still all
these things may be fearfully true. We
shall wait with much solicitude for the next
arrivals from that country. One part of the
latest news fiom the western portion of
Texas is in good keeping with tbe stern and
heroic characters of the women and chil
dren of that section of country —they are
taking care of the cornfields at home, while
their husbands and brothers have shoulder
ed rdeir firelocks and gone forth to drive the
invaders back from their borders.
