satisfaction, I’ll persecute the company as long as there’s any law in Georgia. Beaver Tail !” says I. . •‘Yes,” says he, “this is Beaver Tail, which is to Matlisen as the ‘ Bay’ is to Sa vannah, ‘ Wall-street’ to New-York, the ‘Exchange* to Philadelfy, or the ‘Rialto,’ whar merchants most do congregate,’) to Venice. This is the bisness mart of Madi sen ” “ 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 wheat ? Take square toed vvaffel, sir; here’s swaller-taild ones, if you like’em better?— First rate Rio Coffee, sir ; sum Muskevado Sugar to give a pleasant taste to it ? Cold ham ? briled ditto ? warm Durham stakes ? briled fowl—English breed—so tender they wont bare bitin hard ? Let me sply yer plate with a very small piece ob the busum of this pullit ? Sam ob the reserves, sir ? any kind—quinc, pare, big English peaches. Take a nother hot biskit, sir ,” and if 1 and sot thar, he’d kep me eatin till this time. The cars was reddy to start; I paid my bill at the Planter’s, and was soon whirlin on the way home. .

But its the wurst job I ever undertuck any way I can fix it. I’ll tel! you all a bout it. No more from Your fiend til deth, JOS. JONES. 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. Fame accompanies excellence. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY MORNING AT THE VERY LOW PRICE OF TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER ANNUM —ONE DOL LAR AND FIFTY CENTS FOR SIX MONTHS ALWAYS IN ADVANCE. 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, 18 to 20 ; do. light, 15 to 17; Ilolasse6, 35 to 37 ; Sugar, Stol2 ; Coffee, 11a 12£ ; Iron. 6 to GJ ; Rope, raanilla, 12£; do., hemp, 9to 11; Salt, sl.- THE ELECTION To fill the vacancy in our representation, occasioned by the tie betvveen Messrs. No land and Saffold, will take place next Mon day. Mr. Saffold, of the regular Whig nom ination, and Mr. Fretwell, of the Independ ent ticket, are the candidates before the peo ple. 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 King, 32,822 Lamar, 35,307 Smead, 32,554 Lumpkin, 35,161 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. v MASONIC. The Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Georgia will be held in the Ma sonic Hall, at Milledgeville, on Tuesday, the Bth day of November next. 07=* We are pleased to learn that Mr. Locke, the able senior editor of the “ Sa vannah Republican,” has, under the treat ment of Dr. Eliiott, of New-York, so far re covered from the painful affection of his eyes, that be will in a few weeks be able to re sume his editorial duties. He confidently anticipates a perfect cure of the disorder with which be has been so long afflicted. 07“ The “ Huntsville (Ala.) Democrat” says the currency of that State is rapidly improving. It is thought that most of the banks will resume specie payments by the first of January. 07* The Auston (Texas) Gazette asserts that Gen. Houston received SIOO,OOO, as a bribe for the release of Santa Ana, after the battle of San Jacinto. 07 s * The “ Baltimore Visiter” says that Justice Matsell, attended by officers Bow yer, Smith and Walker, were on the look out, during the day of the New York Croton Celebration for pickpockets, and at 2 o’clock they had secured fifteen of them, of various grades. At that hour they bad information of depredat ions upon people’s pockets to the amount of$10,000; and they estimated the value to the public, of the captures made, at some $3,000 each. 07“ It is stated in the papers that they have ripe blackberries, of the second growth, in North Carolina. WAR UPON THE SQUIRRELS. At a recent hunt in Michigan, 3360 squir rels were slaughtered. Such a bloody war of extermination would look no better in the eyes of the civilized world than does the present war waged by the British against the Chinese, were it not well known that “Captain squirt's n mighty man, And toats a bushy tail; He tars Jow all ole massa’s crap, And hangs it on de rail.” 05** The Hawkinsville Bank are redeem ing their bills, payable in Macon, with spe cie. 07 Jas. Watson Webb, indicted for fighting a duel with Mr. Marshal, of Ky., was recently acquitted by the New York Court of Sessions, on the ground that there was a flaw in the indictment. M. Webb plead guilty, on the trial. 07* Hon. Jno. Q. Adams has been nomi nated sot re-election to Congress, as Repre sentative of the eighth Congressional Dis trict of Massachusetts. 07* An extensive gang of thieves and counterfeiters have recently been arrested in Little Rock, (Ark.) A large amount of counterfeit money, and stolen goods, and the necessary implements and materials for making counterfeit coin, were found iu pos session of the prisoners, To communicate happiness is worthy the ambition of beings superior to man ; for it is the first principle of action with the Auth or of existence. It is God that taught it as a virtue—it is God that gives the example. LATE TROM ENGLAND. The packet ship Independence, recently arrived at New-York, and the steam ship Britatiia at Boston, bring Liverpool dates to the 4th instant. No news of impoitance. Avery destructive fire occurred in Liv erpool, on the 23d ultimo, with the details 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 eral lives were lost by the falling of the walls. The English Government has refused to recognize the Texian blockade of the ports of Mexico, an official notice having appeared in the Gazette, stating that “ the blockade is held by Her Majesty’s Government to be null and of no effect” American pork and beef have been intro duced into the English market and retailed at to 4£d. per pound. The first consign ments are said to have been cleared in a few hours. The importation of this species of provisions has caused considerable alarm a mong the graziers, who anticipate, in con sequence, a depreciation of prices. Lord Ashburton has arrived in England, where he is roundly rated by the press for his Boston speech, in which he designated Boston'as a “ hallowed spot —the old cradle of Liberty.” Such eloquence, they think, comports not well with the character of a British Embassador. Numerous arrests of the Chartists have taken place in England : nearly all their public leaders and lecturers have been thrown into prison. The French papers are loud in denounc ing the late American Tariff. It is conten ded that it is not only partial to England in its scale of duties, but that it amounts to a total prohibition of French Biandies and Wines, which have heretofore been the chief 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.
