MADISON, GEO 1 Saturday, November 12, 1542. Understanding that a certain indi vidual has been representing himself in Macon as the diortly-to-be “ Proprietor” of this paper, and soliciting subscriptions for the same under such pretence, I take this occasion to pronounce his statements unqualified ly false, and to state that said individual has not, nor ever can have any connection whatever with me or my publication. No peison is authorized to receive money on account of this paper, except Post Masters, and such others as may be hereafter announced under our Editorial head. C. R.

THE CURRENCY. Marty of our readers having expressed a desire that we should furnish them with a hank note table, and as we have not at pre sent type sufficiently small to enable as to condense such a table into reasonable di mensions, we have adopted the following manner of keeping them regularly advised of the fluctuations of the money market. The fullest reliance may be placed in our list, as it will be corrected weekly from the most authentic sources.

These pictures are dangerous things—the rock on which our southern periodicals seem doomed to split. We have learned the policy of letting our illustrations speak for themselves—of pub lishing them when we have got them, with out a flourish of promises beforehand. This saves our credit and enables us to give our readers an agreeable surprise, now and then. We shall have the exquisite pleasure one of these days—that is,if our patronage increases and we continue to grow in favor as we now do—of taking our readers all aback with promises—we have too many unfortunate examples before our eyes, even if we were that way inclined. But engravings have nothing to do with the “ Magnolia”—it has not made or bro ken any promises in this line. The number before us is a good one, though rather wasp ish, perhaps, for the taste of some. The re view of the Bishop of Blois’ work on “ The Literature of the Negro,” is just, and good, and true—an excellent article—but we think the reviews of “ Tecumseh,” and “Ahas uerus,” rather severe—rather illiberal, com ing from the source they do. In the first, we think the charge of plagiarism, so harsh ly denounced against the author, not fully sustained. Writers in the same language must occasionally fall on the use of the same words—and if an idea should chance to re semble slightly one that had been used be fore-, the circumstance hardly justifies the charge of “theft,” as applied by the review er to Mr. Colten. “ Tecumseh” is by no means a faultless production—there is room for improvement in many respects —in phras eology, versification and arrangement. Nev eitheless, we conceive the author entitled to much more scope and license than has been allowed him in this review by a brother poet. We think Mr. Simms would hardly like to see some of his own poetic web measured l>y the same stick. * THE LEGISLATURE Convened at Milledgeville on Monday morning,the 7th instant. Robert M. Echols was elected President of the Senate, the Whigs voting for Andrew J. Miller. The vote stood 50 for Echols and 31 for Miller. Mr. Jackson, of Walton, was elected Secre tary, R. E. Brown, of Houston, Messenger, and W. G. Roper, of Muscogee, Door keeper. Mr. Wofford, of Habersham, was elected Speaker of the House, upon the 4lh ballot. Mr. Dyson, of Wilkes, was elected Clerk, W. Browu, of Pike, Messenger, and Ben jamin Brewster, of Fayette, Doorkeeper. On the following morning the two Houses met, and after completing their organization adjourned until 3 o'clock, when the Gover nor’s Message was received. The Message is a document of unusual length and doubt less of much interest, but we are hardly wide enough between the eyes,as our friend Jones would say, to undertake its perusal just now. The editor of the “ Constitu tionalist” has read it, and has given a synop sis of the Governor’s views, from which we make the following extracts, for the benefit of such of our readers as may not have read the Message in the political papers: The recommendations of the Governor are just and will no doubt receive as they deserve the deliberate consideration of the legislature. The members of that body should never lose sight of this position in the message, that “ it is in vain that it is said in favni of a currency, that the credit of the State is pledged to sustain it, unless that credit be made available when it is needed. The time has arrived when it must be de monstrated what that State credit is worth: The obligations of honor and morality are to be enforced.” The Governor states that the liabilities of the Central Bank, includ ing the 8 percent, bonds, amount to $1,700,- 000, and the assets, exclusive of the stock of the Darien Bank and of old claims, amount to $2,100,000, consisting of notes and bills discounted, and of stock of specie paying banks. The Governor recommends that the bank should not be permitted to add one dollar to its circulation for any pur pose whatever, until it extinguishes its lia bilities of every description, and shall be able to redeem its issues with specie. This is an excellent recommendation ; and if the legislature carry it into effect, it will follow that another recommendation of the Gover nor will have to be adopted, which is to re quire the tax on bank stock to be paid in specie, as well as portions of the general tax, sufficient to pay the entire interest of the public debt. He tecoinmends the completion of the Western and Atlantic Rail Road, so far as the Etowah, as limited in the act passed at the last session of the Legislatute, and of the whole length of the road as soon as it can be done. We are glad to find that he recommends the renewal of the annual appropriation to the Georgia University, repealed by an act of the last legislature. He suggests a radi cal change in our school system. He recommends a valuation Jaw on pro perty levied on for debts, under certain re strictions. We approve his suggestions in regard to 3x>inawi mm, it Hta3sißiLibA.!i'ar State banks which do not comply with their engagements. All banks which have viola ted the spirit and the letter of their char ters should lie compelled to closetheir doois and wind up their affairs. He justly recommends the repeal of the free banking law. He recommends an amendment of the constitution respecting a reduction of mem bers in both branches of the legislature. {jCf* It is stated in the late Baltimore pa pers that the Constitution 44, the Marion sloop-of-war, and the schooners just return ed from Florida, are ordered forthwith to proceed to Vera Cruz. By this sudden movement it would seem that there was somctliingumisual “inthe wind.” It isalso rumored that the Cabinet will be reorgan ized before the meeting of Congress, by Mr. Webster retiring from and Mr. Cushing go ing into it. Mr. Spencer or Mr. Usher are spoken of as Secretary of State. We have also seen it intimated that matters were like ly to be accommodated between Mr. Cass and Mr. Everett so as to give Mr. Webster the Ministry to the Court of St. James. Ct'r’’ Wecan gat he mo news of importance from Texas. From all accounts it would seem that General Wool had retired from the country, and that little danger is to be apprehended at present from an invasion of the country by the Mexicans. The Presi dent has issued his orders to Brigadier Gen eral Summerville to march immediately to some eligible point on the south-western frontier of Texas, and there to concentrate his forces, with which, should he deem them sufficient to guarantee a prospect of success, he is to penetrate the enemy’s country. — “ In battle,” remarks the President in his orders, “let the enemy feel the fierceness of just resentment and retribution.” Give it to them, say we, the dogs have no friends in a free country. 07“ A great Abolition row came off at Faneuil Hall, Boston, recently. The Abol itionists convened on Sunday night, to ex press their indignation at the legal proceed ings in a case of arrest, in which a gentle man from Virginia claimed a very bright complexioned negro, as his slave. Mr. Leavitt, a celebrated fanatic in the Aboli tion cause, made a violent speech, offered some very severe resolutions, and finally in troduced upon the stage a “ nigger getnen” by the romantic name of Mr. Charles Leon ard Remond, who was about to give the congregation a touch of his nigger eloquence, when the proceedings were seriously inter rupted by *• groans, hisses, and the most un earthly sounds, such as ‘ down with the nig ger !’ ‘ turn the darky over!’ ‘ tip him into the pit!’ ‘down with the d—d nigger!’” Ac. Ac., which finally resulted in open riot, and the meeting broke up in a general row. Several black, white and mixed colored nig gers, of both sexes, got more or less rough ly handled. Thank God, there are white men with white men’s principles, even in Boston ! 07“ At the late Fair of the American Institute in New York, Mr. Meigs in his address on the occasion said, “ that the only cotton grown in the Uuited States at a peri od within the memory of man was when the daughter of the patriotic Gen. Greene raised a few shrubs in bean-pots, upon a Georgia Sea Island, for the sake of the pret ty flowers. What,” he asked, “ would have been said, if at that time, it had been pre dicted that in fifty years the fibre of that vegetable would furnish from the United States, cloth enough to make a shirt for each of the human race —one thousand millions!” 07“ Some of the Northern editors are boasting of the ugliness of their female ac quaintance# One says there are three rath er hard featured ladies now residing in a village in the State of New York, about five miles from Cabbage Palace. One of them ftiglitened a hail storm so it stopped, by thrusting her head out of the window. A second made an ox shed his horns by looking at him, and the third made a roast pig squeal on the table. A portrait painter is stated to have attempted the portrait of the latter, but her face was so crooked that the paint would not lie still on the canvass. If this be true, we do not wonder so ma ny Northern men of taste come to the South to procure wives. We have no such var mints, as those described, in Georgia. On the contraiy, we know faces whose melting sweetness would dissolve a hail storm with a look, and make it to descend in a gentle shower—others whose surpassing loveliness would tame the wildest brute, or cause a roasted shoat to open his crisped eyes to steal one glance. Georgia girls for beauty, against the world ! (IT** The “ New York Herald” has been withdrawn from sale, the Editor stating that without giving up the proprietorship, he has mude arrangements to establish a branch newspaper in London and Paris, in the course of next spring and summer. “ I am descended from a great house,” as tbo hod-man said, when he had come down from the roof of a five story mansion.—Ex change paper. 07* !>ucli a descent is as good as any other if it is not too direct and precipitate. COTTON MARKET. Cotton has come in freely during the past five days, 1,095 bales having been received in that time; about two thirds of which has been purchased here, at prices winging from 4 to 6 cents —principal sales at 5 cents. The news from Europe is still unfavorable—Cot tori dull and tending downward. ALL THE ARTS THROWN IN THE SHADE. “Tut, tut,” saida gentleman of our ac quaintance the other day, “ talk of your oil colors, your water colors, miniature paint ing, and Daguereotype as much as you like, 1 have discovered a process by which the most perfect likenesses are taken without tlie use of colors, or even the light of the sun. None of your Duguere’s, but real life and soul likenesses—true as nature herself —preserving with the most astonishing pre cison the slightest shade in the flesh-tints— the very air and character of the head—the meaning of the face. I have taken my whole family in this way, from the oldest to the ypungest, and nothing could exceed the truthfulness with which the soberness of age and the vivacity of youth are portrayed.— Why, sir, you could almost see my mothei speaking through her snuff obstructed nose, and the baby is in the very act of crowing at the stick of candy in its hand. The pic tures are to the life, and theprocess issosim ple—within the reach of every family—can be taken at any time, in the twinkling of an eye.” “Is it possible 1” said we, “ what new wonder is this ?” prepared as we were for some astounding announcement, as, indeed, we are for almost any thing, in these days of Mesmerism, Magnetism, and mysteries. “Ob, no wonder at all, sir—none at all— simplest thing in the world ; though I con fess it: Is very slightly appreciated. But I have always attributed this circumstance to the fact of its remarkable truthfulness. A good mirror will not flatter, which you know is the great secret of popularity.” “A mirror! and is it a mirror you have been talking of all this time 1” “To be sure, what else could perform such miracles in the limning art?” said our friend, as he bowed us good by. “ Bah !” thought we, “ how we have been quizzed.” 07“ We learn from the “ Magnolia” that our accomplished fellow-citizen Richard Henry Wilde, is engaged upon a Lite of Dante, which will shortly be given to the public. No abler pen could be selected for the task, and the admirers of the great poet may expect a work, —a biography cre ditable alike to the author and its illus trious subject. 07” The Monroe Rail Road seems to have run into a streak of good luck of late. Not long since the city of Savannah voted a loan of $50,000, and we are told by the Milledgeville papers that the Governor sub scribed on Saturday last to $200,000 of the stock, the company having complied with the condition authorizing the subscription on the part of the State. EXECUTION OF LORE. The last “ Columbus Enquirer” contains an account of the execution of the outlaw George W. Lore, by the citizens of Glenn ville, Ala. It seems that about two years since Lore was tried for the murder of a man by the name of Blake. The jury made a miss-trial and the prisoner was admitted to bail, but was subsequently arrested by the citizens. This spring he was again brought to trial, found guilty and sentenced to be hung, but before the day of execu tion, anew trial was granted, and Lore again admitted to hail. When the day for the new trial came, he was missing, since when he has roamed the country an armed out law, until he was retaken by the citizens, on the 30th ultimo. The “ Enquirer” gives the following account of the execution : “ On Tuesday, the citizens of Glennville and vicinity assembled, in number about 160, to take into consideration the policy of turning him over to the authorities of the county, to await his new trial. After the most thorough consultation, this large body agreed to leave it to vote what should be done with the prisoner. Those in favor of giving him up to the civil authorities were desired to march down the road —two went. Those in favor of executing him without any furthercercmony, were desired to inarch up the road —one hundred and thirty-six went up the road. Those who had no choice remained stationary, in all twenty-two. This vote we understand was taken after Lore had made a full statement of his case, and pressed upon the multitude all the argu ments that be bad to offer in bis defence. In the midst of so much unanimity, and in view of his having been previously found guilty by a jury of his countrymen and sen tenced to be hanged, he was taken to the gallows prepared for the occasion, and exe cited in the presence of the assembled crowd, at 4 o’clock on Wednesday last, the 2J instant.” Upon whicli the editor makes some very just reflections,denouncingsueb a violation of the law and order of civilized society in merited terms of rebuke. We freely en dorse every word of the editor, but we would also make a suggestion to the press, whose duty it is to watch over the public weal,Dd guard the well-being of the commu nity. Should not public censors look to the J bottom of public evils ? should not the press be as reaJy to discern and denounce the cause as the effect ? Will any one say that the great mnj< r'.ty of the outrages upon the deceucy and order of society that are daily perpetrated have not their cause in the very sources of our civil government. When jurors and judges neglect or transcend the duties assigned them by the law of the land —when crimes of the most heinous and dangerous character are perpetrated with impunity, and there is no protection of life or property in the arm of the law, what are the inevitable consequences to society? One of two evils—either that the people must live in constant dread and insecurity, the victims of evil doers, or they must in turn set the law at defiance, and take judgment and execution into their own hands—either of which are fearful alternatives. Every day do we hear of outrages such as that detailed above, very few of which hut can he traced to the cause to which we have alluded. We might cite numerous cases of judicial outrage ; the case above seems to us one in point—that of Willis Alston is another, and cases have recently ttarispired in our own State at which justice should drop her scales and blush. Let the piess speak out—let the regular constituted tribu nals of the country be held responsible for the proper administration of the laws, and the jurisdiction of Judge Lynch will no long er be acknowledged, nor his court recogni zed as the High Court of Appeal* which it has grown to he, so infinitely to our national disgrace. {t/ 5 * By an advertisement on the fourth page it will be seen that the annual Exami nation of the Female Academy, fvill take place on Wednesday and Thursday next. (£/“ Dow, Jr., of the New York “Sun day Mercury,” has a peculiar way of saying some very fine things. Themockish wood cut, lepresenting a preacher ludiciously de clamingfrom the pulpit, with some irrever ent and coarse expressions which we read in the first “ Short Patent Sermon” which we looked into, at first prejudiced us against his productions, as having a tendency to bring into ridicule and light esteem the sa cred desk. We have since, how ever, been much entertuined by his very quaint lectures on all varieties of subjects ; and though we cannot say that we exactly approve of the manner in which these weekly essays are put forth on the Sabbath, yet we are not so sure hut they have the power of doing good. They do doubtless fall into the hands of ma ny who never hear any oilier preaching— the quaintness of the style attracts the at tention of such, and when he discourses up on such sober themes as that upon which he treats below, may not serious impressions be made upon the mi ml, and reflection be arous ed, in spite of the admixture of ludicrous comparison, and irreverent humor with which his writings abound ? Speaking of Church-yard iambics, he says— “My hearers —Melancholy sometimes feeds the soul with the sweetest of moral molas ses. It furnishes the mind with meditative wings, with which it speeds its way to the blooming paradise of ideality, where it sports amid flowers, that look pale to the eve, hut impart pleasing odors to the senses. For my part, my friends, 1 like to seek shel ter occasionally from the storms of care and folly, under the branches of yews andcy* presses, that wave over the silent sepulchres of the dead. I love to go there at twiliight grey—between sundown and dark—as the gentle dews descend to moisten the heart —render it pliable ns new made putty, and as capable of receiving as holy impressions as that of a sinner when soaked in Chris tianity. and touched by the finger of Faith. Yes, I love to go there at twiliight hour; for that is emblematical of the evening of age, when the sun of existence is about to set forever, and the dark wing of the engel of Death is soon to overshadow the bright land scape >f life. 1 love to tread the sacred ground, and read upon the moss-gtowu stones who sleeps heloiv. They tell me that the high, the low, the rich, the poor, the proud and the humble, all slumber quietly together in one common bed : that here no jarring discord is ever heard : here calumny loses its power to stain : heie the sod sucks the poison from the tongue of slander : here the laurel leavesin the wreath of fame—which now find a cold inanimate bunch of clay—are only kept green in the sunlight of memory; and here the once warm Ixwom of love is as cold as the hack of a hull frog.” What a leap from acomparatively sublime to the incomparably ridiculous ! He pro ceeds with his grave subject: “ Myfiiends—asl meditate over the lone ly spot where the wearied and worn out ones of earth repose, I cannot but think that soon I must end my own mortal pil grimage, and lie down by their sides to nap it till the archangel’s trumpet shall proclaim the breaking of an immortal day. It is im possible for me, too, to scare or coax the thought away, that when I am defunct, the rank weeds and tall grass of forgetfulness will cover my grave, and the moss of obli vion conceal my name from the world for ever. It will he just my luck, and no dis appointment, if it hapjien to turn out so. 1 care not, however —for what am I, hut n mere speck of dirt upon the fine cambric of creation, destined to crawl about for n brief hour, ami then dissolve and unite the com monest kind of dust! Why should I cra\e to have my name everlastingly engraved upon the monument of memory, while my body is being powdered by the worms, m and my ‘spirit is too far off to be reached with the long pole of posthumous praise, or be tickled whh a short feather of flattery. No —my mortal part is trash ; good for nothing hut to enrich the soil whence it sprung ; and, as for my name—let H die like an echo in a solitary wild ! for it is no more worth pick ling in the heart of posterity than a pair of buckskin breech.es are fit to He chopped in to cold slaw. When I look around me amt see the wondrous works of the great Crafts tor's hand, 1 feel myself brought into the smallest possible focus of insignificance. I feel so small that my clothes seem to hang as loosely upon me as a shirt upon a fire shovel.” Another! But hear him through. My dear friends— go at the evening hour, when the plaintive robin sings a vesper hymn in his cypress liower—when the night winds breathe sacred melodies through the sombre branches of the yew— ponder over the silent tombs of the departed— shed a tear upon the green tuif above them; the Srth will absorb it, and prevent its weltifig e cold cheek of the dead. Go, ye care less and gay ! and there consider on what swift pinions flies the hour of joy. There ask yourselves if gaiety can lestoro long vanished years ; or if it can cheer the ‘dark, dark mansion of Death.’ Go, ye young and beautiful! you will there learn that some of tho most promising plants of youth have been wbithered by tho frosts of the tomb, and there loses for ever its power to charm. Go, ye proud ! there see how the monarch and the slave are mouldering to gether; and swear, if you can, that there are the ashes of honor, and here is the dust of disgrace.” Such a paragraph would grace a mote pretending sermon. “My hearers— if you were all to saunter occasionally along the boDe-paved streets of the City of the Dead, you would once in a while be reminded that you are doomed to die; and would accordingly make every necessary preparation, instead of cantering along the highway of vice and wickedness, as though there was no end to the pleasant journey of life. Let me tell you, my dear friends, that Spring will weave but a few more green carpets to cover the spots where you are to lie, before it woiks a coverlid for youi carcases. A few more years and you will he kicked from the Almighty’s footstool into the dark and uncertain gulf of eternity —the record of your good deeds will bo lost in the rubbish of ages—your very sig natures will be erased by the blotting pen of time—and you will soak ijito the ground like drops of water to ascend in spiritual vapor to regions beyond the sky. Posteri ty may knock at the door where aredepos ited your mortal remains, but no answer will lie given : the chariots of future gene rations may thunder over your graves, but they w’ll disturb not the sound slumbers of your bodies; for they must sleep on, un visited by dreams, till awakened by the loud resurrection call. Prepare, then, for the crisis while the soul acts m partnership with the body, so that, in the decline of life, tho former may he rocked in the cradle of hope, aiui the hitter meet with that sweet repose which an invalid may obtain in one of King's celebrated rocking chairs—which, I am in formed, can be had at 455 Broadway. So mote it be!” Thusthe reader has auliolesale furniture warehouse puff', pitched tight into his mouth befote he can shut it. AIDVERiraSIEIKAiENTC.
