©kd©o m a m . For the “ Southern Miscellany.” A SCENE AT A CHURCH. On a fine Sabbath morning something less than twenty years ago, my engagements let! me to pass near a church, at which a meet ing of several days continuance had been progressing. As I drew nearer to this ral jyjng point, I passed divers persons—old and young, male and female, white and black, some on horseback, some in carriages, some on f oot all bending their course to meeting. Overtaking at last, an old negro man and woman, I enquired whither they were going. Ol,, we gwine to de big meetin, over at p. responded the old woman, with an upturned sac which a nose of remark able breadth was the most prominent fea ture. “And ikthere a big meeting there,” said I. “ Oh yes, Massa—dey been gwineon dere dis tree days.” “ Ami ate there any big preachers, do you know V’ “ Me no know for sartin, I hear um say dey had nine dere yesterday.” I bid them good morning and rode on, in tending on my return, to call at the church and mingle with the throng. My curiosity led me to the place, as I was desirous to heat for myself, what that peculiar sect of Christians had to say in defence of their strange and antiquated notions. I passed the place at an early hour, and already the congregation had began to as semble. As my Atinatioti was but a mile ’ beyond, I soon returned, and after tethering my poney to a swinging limb. I entered the Temple dedicated to the Worship of the world’s Creator. The house was nearly fill ed. 1 readily gained a seat near the door, directly in front of the pulpit, which strange ly enough was on one side of the house, which was a long low framed building, un coiled either above or on the sides. A man —who I supposed was a preacher of that denomination —was holding forth when 1 entered, lie was I judge, about fifty years old, a bluff, burly looking old fellow, of the old school, I doubt not in faith and practice, with a nose, long,straight, and finely tinged, it may have Ixien from excess in preaching, I can’t say. But he certainly la bored very hard—physically, as I doubt not the Book board, would testify—could it speak out in the premises. As I got there however, while he was in the midst of his discourse, it was impossible from any thing he said, for me to divine what was his text, if he had one—or what he was endeavoring to prove, if indeed he was trying to prove any thing. He was certainly aiming at some object, l know, though he shot very much at random ; he seemed conscious of having some particular thing in view, but seemed very much at a loss to know how to accomplish it. At length, however, he suc ceeded in drawing to a close. Whether was led to that result, by having accomplish ed the object he bad in view, or from phys ical exhaustion. I have not yet determined satisfactorily—though I have canvassed the matter in my mind no little. I incline how ever, to the opinion that the same reason, in kind, which governed poor Hector when he * died for lack of breath, governed him; hut I do not give this as my settled and unaltera ble opinion. He had scarcely seated himself, when an other, who had a few minutes before—after a good deal of stir and consultation, among several of the old front-benchers—been in vited into the pulpit, rose up, and after giv ing out a hymn, proceeded as he said to “ suspend” a few remarks to what the Bro ther had just said. I just thought at the mo ment, that if the weight “suspended” to the foregoing discourse was at all weighty, it would be apt to part at divers places, as it was,as far as I could judge, exceedingly dis jointed, and badly put together. But fortu nately for the discourse, the “remarks sus pended” did not seem to add a fraction to its weight, or strain it in the least degree. He took occasion to tell us, that when he found he had any thing to do, he went at it with all his might, and the request to con clude made of him by the “ Breethrcn ” had set him to “ thinking a heap.” He told us—wlmt we all knew before— that he was a stranger in these parts, but that he would give us something to remem ber him by. “ People,” said he, “ don’t for get me soon.” As there was nothing very remaikable in his personal appearance, save a slovenly air, 1 could not readily perceive what he meant. But I was shortly enlight ened, for I soou perceived that he was the regular scavinger of the concern, and I had no doubt hut that he was put up for the es pecial benefit of those who were present, who differed with them in matters of faith. He branched right off into an effort at satire, upon other denominations, upon every thing that was not Anti . He said “ the world wasn’t as smart as folks thought it was; the people now-a-days were not as smart a9 old Adam, and old Adam was not as smart after he eat the apple, as he was before. You see it proven,” said he, “from the fact} of his and Eve’s making fig-leaf a prons to cover’em before, when they wouldn’t answer at all to cover ’em behind. Don’t you see how foolish they was.” Again he told us, “ that the Devil was a slick fellow; he didn’t go to a fellow as the Devil; not lie. He took the form of an An gel of light—for the purpose morecomplete ly to deceive. And thus he has gone on in these days, gulling the people, until he has got them to do all sorts of things. The De vil formed the first Bible .Society that ever Was formed, and the Missionary Society too, which is worse than all; and you can see him at work in all the Temperance move ments of the day, Lord how he is making fools of the people. Now aint he a slick fellow.” Again he told as, “ that certain people, professors of religion of certain churches, were as great a curse to the world as Saul was to the people of Israel. And Saul,” said he, “I believe in my soul was a missionary.” Again said he, “ when I first began to preach I used to bo afraid of folks, the ciitics and grammarians in particular. But I went to work and studiedGrammarfrom thisgood old book”—holding up an old song book— “ and now I can parse with the best on ’em; yes, I am a match for any body.” Just after this fine strain of pulpit elo quence, had fallen upon our rapt senses— this modest Grammarian—this teacher in the things of God, gave proof of his gross ignorance of the true meaning of the Scrip tures, in a quotation which he made from Paul to Timothy, second Epistle, 3 chap ter, 2 and 3 verses. Speaking of other pro fessors who differed from his church, he said, “ they fall out with all the world hut them selves, you will find them reproving sinners, doing all the good they can, going to church, ever ready to pray —mighty liberal, always giving when asked, and so on. And why 1 Just to he seen of men. They are well de scribed by St. Paul in his 2d Epistleto Tim othy. ‘For men shall be lovers of them selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphe mers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, un holy, without natural affection, truce break ers, false accusers, incontinent.,’ ” &c.— “ There,”,said he, “ incontent" —he quoted the word incontinent,incontent —“you can’t content them no way you can fix ’em; they are all the time going, going, going, work ing and working, always trying to do some thing, always incontent.” Good gracious, thought I, and you a teacher in Israel, a preacher of Righteousness. 1 could but think of the remark of Christ: “If the blind lead the blind,” &c. He sat down at length, evidently, quite satisfied that lie had accom plished his object, which was to abuse every other sect hut his ow'd. An intermission of twenty minutes for re freshment succeeded, after which the con gregation—those that remained—were call ed into the church, and were addressed by another minister. His style was pretty rnucii after the pattern cut out before him. It was an hour’s effort, from a fine subject, which (the subject) came off unhurt amidst thedin of words—thoughts,there were none —that fell unremittingly from the speak ers lips. He was evidently,a new beginner, and had learnt the trade under a bad teach er, and promised to make but a botch at best. He is without doubt, at the wrong business. I would like to give you a sketch of his sermon, as I took it down while he was speaking, hut cannot now. One thing he said, however, I will mention. He said, “ Any religion that a person could get, the person could lose. But when religion got a man, it would hang on to him any how.” So if this be true, persons who don’t want it had better look out, for it may catch them sometime when they are “a napping” and then they can’t get rid of it. Yours truly, TOBIAS SPOONER. ©©mtlhsm MasosMsuayo rUBLISHKD EVERY SATURDAY MORNING AT THE VERY LOW PRICE OP TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER ANNUM —ONE DOL LAR AND FIFTY CENTS FOR SIX MONTHS ALWAYS IN ADVANCE. 0 MADISON, GEO : Saturday, November 19, 1§42. ft/* Mr. Jackson Barnes, Book-seller nnd Stationer, East side of Mulberry-street, Macon, is our duly authorized Agent in that city, with whom our friends in that section of the State will please transact their business with the “ Miscellany.” Mr. Barnes is authorized to receive and receipt for subscriptions to the paper. OUR READING ROOM. We wouldcall the attention of our friends who are subscribers to the Reading Room, to the propriety of their settling their sub scriptions at this time. The season having arrived when it is necessary for the comfort of those visiting the room that it should be kept warm, we are desirous of rendering it a pleasant and desirable retreat for our citi zens, during the long winter evenings, by thoroughly lighting and wanning it; to do which we must necessarily incur some ad ditional expense. We trust those who have subscribed will come forward without fur ther importunity, and pay their subscrip tions, and that those who would avail them selves of the facilities it affords of obtaining the current news of the day from all quar ters of the country, will add their names to our list, and thus enable us to make the ne cessary improvements. COTTON MARKET. The receipts and sales of the week have been good—about 1,300 bales have been forwarded. The market is dull, and dealers wear bony faces. The principal sales of fine Cotton, during the week, have been made at 5t05 J; good, 4J to ; stained and blue, 4to 4J. Accounts from Savannah, received last evening, show a decline in that market of J cent from former prices. This will have no favorable effect on our market. The “ Constitutionalist” of the 12th, says—“ The market is in an unquiet condi tion, owing in a great measure to the late unfavorable account from Europe. Since our last review the article has declined fully from Jto cent, on common qualities. The buyers, however, asking a further reduc tion, which the sellers do not like to concede. The result is a dullness in all operations to any extent.” oWho would live down among the sand flies and musquitoes when the rail road brings oysters to your door in their season ? B<D Wm mHi THE WEATHER. We had considerable rain on Wednesday, last. On Wednesday night and nearly all day on Thursday it poured down “ like a mill-tail,” as the saying is, and on Friday morning cleared off as cold as Greenland ; since when we have had what some people call bracing weather, accompanied with ice, and wind, and occasional flickerings of pale sun-shine. They may call it bracing, and all that, who like it. For our own prt, we have no use for such weather. So far from bracing up our mortality, it makes us feel uncommonly rickity, and brings very forci bly to our mind the dream of that fellow who thought he had crawled out of his skel eton and sat listening to the whistling of the wind as it blew through his ribs. MADISON MALE AND FEMALE ACADEMIES. It will be seen by an advertisement of the Trustees in our paper of to-day, that these Institutions which have just closed thcii terms, will be re-opened on the second Mon day in January. The Male Academy will he under the superintendance of the Rev. George 11. Round, A. M., late of the Fac ulty of Emory College, Oxford. The Fe male Academy will continue under the charge of Mr. C. B. P. Martin. Col. Alden, whoretiresfrom the Male In stitution over which he has so long and sat isfactorily presided, leaves us to locate in some other section of our State. Wherever he may go he will bear with him the esteem ( and respect of our citizens and the fond re gards of the many whom he lias conducted in the paths of learning. In him our town loses an able professor, a good citizen, and ari amiable and accomplished gentleman.— May he be as well appreciated by his new associates as he is by the cordial friends whom he leaves in Madison. STATE LEGISLATURE. Nothing of impoitance has yet transpired in the Legislature. Joint and Standing Committees have been appointed, elections held, resolutions adopted and hills introduc ed—but up to Tuesday, the date of our la test Milledgeville paper—no choice of Sena tor had been made. It is stated in the Jour nal that both Mr. McAllister and Mr. Lump kin hava withdrawn from the contest, leav ing Messrs. Iverson, Cone. Schley and Mc- Whorter competitors for the seat in the National Council. No Whig candidate is spoken of—so that the gentleman who re ceives the majority, will he in a position to thank his whig friends. In such a case— supposing the Senator elected by the Whig minority—what would become of the main argument in favor of the doctrine of Legis lative instruction 1 On Tuesday of last week, George D. Anderson, Esq., was elected Judge of the Cherokee Citpuit, and Joseph Sturges, Esq., Judge of the Cliattahoochie Circuit, Kin clien L. Haralson, Esq., Solicitor of the Coweta Circuit, and John L. Lewis, Esq., Solicitor of the Chattahoochie Circuit. On Fiiday, Benjamin B. Smith, Esq., of Twiggs county, was elected Treasurer of the State, for the unexpired term of the late Col. Thomas Haines. On Saturday, E. P. Daniel, of Pike, was elected Major-General of the Bth division, G. M., in place of L. S. Griffin, removed from the State. A Committee lias been appointed “ with power to send for persons and papers,” to investigate the condition and management of the Central Bank. The gentlemen com posing said Committee, are Messrs. Thomas of Hancock, Crawford of Richmond, Cohen of Chatham, Gray of Jones, and Lamar of Bibb. A resolution has been laid on the table of the House by Mr. Freeman, requiring the Committee on Banks to take into considera tion the propriety of repealing the charter of the Central Bank, and winding up its business as speedily as possible. Mr. Lamar, of Richmond, has introduced a bill “ To repeal the act of incorporation of the Central Bank of Georgia, aud the several acts amendatory thereof.” From all these indications we infer that something will moie than probably he done to remedy the evils which the people have suffered from tho Central Bank. An insti tution that has become so burthensome as to sit heavily upon the shoulders of all parties must ultimately fall to the ground. The poor bank has been bled to death by its friends, and now, in its day of need, it has no friends. The “ almightyness” of its dollars has depreciated more than 20 per cent—so has the ardor of its friends. Mr. Colly, of Hancock, has introduced a hill in the House to allow the specie paying banks of the State to issue change bills.— We trust this bill will pass. If we must have bills of a less denomination than five dollars, it would certainly be better that we should have the change bills of sound, char tered institutions, than the “ shin-plasters,” as they are called, of Tom, Dick and Har ry, which will only pass current in the im mediate neighborhood of tho individual is suing there... Mr. Martin, of Gwinett, has introduced a bill authorizing the Governor to sell the Western and Atlantic Rail Road. A hill has also been introduced by Mr. Campbell, to alter the time of holding the General Elections, from the first Monday to Wed nesday, after the first Monday in October. GEORGIA MINERALS. We were yesterday shown a collection of minerals, fossils, &c. r by Captain Gillis, of Cass county, all of which had been ob tained by him in the Cherokee country.— ( Among them were many valuable ores, such as gold, silver, lead and iron, with various and rare species of chrystals, quartz and marble. He presented us with a specimen of lamellar statuary marble which will bear comparison with that of any quarry in the country. It may be seen at our Reading Room. Though wo could not enter into the in spection of his numerous collection with that zest with which it would have been en joyed by a thorough mineralogist, yet we Were gratified to see such an exhibition of the mineral wealth of our State; and for one, we sincerely hope the Captain will be encouraged in the jnosecution of his inter esting researches. OJ° We have heard complaints from sev eral respectable, citizens, of the disorderly assemblages of negroes in our streets on the Sabbath, which have become so common of late. It is unnecessary for us to use argu ment against the propriety of tolerating such gatherings. We need only call the attention of our worthy Commissioners and Marshal to the fact, in order that they may take the necessary measures to correct tho evil. We are for allowing to this class of ( our population every privilege and indul gence which is consistent with their own good and that of their masters, but we con ceive that they may be much better emyloy ed on the Sabbath, than in collecting about groceries, or in obstructing the side walks and streets with their boisterous sports. NEW YORK ELECTION. The Democrats have carried the State of New York. Full returns have not yet been received—enough is known, however, to warrant the belief that the Democratic Gov ernor will he elected by a majority of from 10 to 15,000 votes. Delaware. —An election for one member of Congress was held in this State on the Bth instant. The unofficial returns from the whole State give Rodney, the Whig candi date 219, and Jones, Democratic, 215 votes. Arkansas. —The recent election in this State, resulted in favor of the Democrats. Mobile. —At the charter election in Mo bile the Whigs succeeded by an average majority of 220 votes. Kavo no news of impoi tance from Texas. The prisoners taken by General Woll at San Antonio, are at Santa Rosa, hut are to start shortly for the City of Mex ico. As well as we can gather, the Texans are concentrating at Gonzales, while Woll is still east of the Nueces, receiving daily reinforcements. His retreat from San An tonio is said to have been precipitate, and we expect soon to hear of the route and to tal discomfeiture of his army. ft’? 5 ’ General Duff Green, who recently returned from Europe in the Great West ern, is said to have had long interviews with Sir Robert Peel in London, and Mr. Guizot in Paris, and has brought with him a gener al scheme of new commercial treaties be tween England and the United States, and between Fiance and the United States, ba sed on principles of reciprocity in a mutual tariff of duties. This basis of a scheme has been carried to Washington, and it is state*} will probably be introduced in the Presi dent’s Message. If there he any good in it, we trust it may meet with a better fate than did the General’s long cherished scheme for elevating the character of the American press, by means of his “ Washington Insti tute.” ft/* The New York Herald of the 4. inst. says —“ We learn that the President and his Cabinet are determined, in some shape, to maintain the independence of Texas—and measures have already been adopted prepar atory to putting a stop to the invasion threa tened by Mexico. The Constitution frig ate,44 guns—Marion sloopof war, oneofthe large steamers, and all the West India fleet, are ordered to concentrate as fast as possi ble before St. Juan d’Ulloa, at Vera Cruz. Gen. Almonte has given more offence than inspired friendship—and we should not be surprised if hostilities were to break out be tween the United States and Mexico, if the latter do not pay the claims at once. New-fashioned Potatoes. —We find it sta ted in several of our exchange papers that anew species of potatoe plant has just been imported from South America. The fruit, it is said, grows up vinos like pumpkins, and will serve to ornament arbors, a single seed potatoe being sufficient to cover a verandah. One advantage which this above ground vegetable has, is, that the finest potatoes can be picked off without injury to the plants, leaving the small potatoes to grow to ma turity in due time.— Louisville Journal. ft/* The editor of the “Constitutional ist” says, that he has seen a potatoe of the kind mentioned above, and that he has the promise of one from the editor of the Edge field, S. C., “ Advertiser,” by whom they have been cultivated. If our brother of the Advertiser has another “tator” to spare, we hope he will consider it bespoke by us. ft/* Our marvellous pumpkin, to which we alluded last week, is not the only veger table wonder thet Morgan county has pro duced this season. A gentleman stated to us the other evening, while conversing on such subjects, that Kjs wife, while gathering her peppers for pickling, observed a large one to be slightly cracked on one side, which, on examination, wa3*fiund to con tain several perfect pods. ft?* A lale number of the “ Madisonian” ! states that the accounting officers, of the Treasury have adjusted the accounts of-the States and Territmies, under the Distribu tion act, and that the Governors have been notified by the Treasury Department of the amounts payable to their respective Slates. The amount to le divided is 8562,- 144 18, exclusive of the ten per Centum to j the Stales in which the lands have been sold. NOBODY AND SOMEBODY. The two individuals whose names stand at the lieud of this article are certainly the most industrious, as they are the most con spicuous, personages of the present or past ages, and jointly perform more than half the world beside; indeed, we may say as much as all the world, and then.be within bounds. Nobody is, perhaps, the busiest of the twm, in small matters, and with theoccasional as sistance of Somebody perpetrates all the little mischiefs that are forever occurring—such as making pye in printing offices, leaving the door open when it is cold, dropping grease on parlor floors, tumbling and mus sing up things, and breaking little “fixius” about kitchens, offices and shops—every where—in doors and out of doors. Nobody generally has a principal hand in such mat ters ; but it takes Somebody to xlo the hea vy business of the grand drama of life—such as setting fire to people’s houses, stealing their goods and knocking out their brains. Every paper that comes to us tells us of the exploits of that notorious scape grace, Some body. As is generally the case with such knaves, there is a close intimacy between the two—they aid one another and keep each other’s secrets. They have a couple of near relations—Everybody and Anybody —between whom and themselves there is not the best understanding, and with whom they hold no confidence. For instance, Anybody and Everybody are anxious to know who set fire to the Schuylkill bridge, or who translated to parts unknown the un fortunate Billy Morgan, and though Some body and Nobody know all about it, yet the world is none the wiser, for they will neith er tell Everybody nor Anybody else, and the secret remains between them. Nobody can tell what lias become of the Hornet and the President-—hut who is the wiser of his knowledge 1 It is strange what confidence some people place in these fellows—with what partiality they are treated by some. The young ladies are forever fallingdead in love with Somebody, and there is not one who has entered her teens hut will declare she loves Nobody. If one is engaged to Somebody and is about to runaway with him, she would not as much as whisper the fact to Anybody, and she would not have Everybody know it for the world, yet her secret is confided to Nobody without hesita tion, and in fact she does not regard it as a secret unless Nobody knows it. The most attrocious villian makes him his confidant, and he or Somebody else is an accomplice in almost every burglary, robbery, elope ment or murder. Everybody is forever find ing fault with Somebody, and Nobody often vindicates the character of his fiiend. In turn, Somebody is forever attributing to No body achievements which history and com mon report has awarded to othets. For in stance, he says Nobody swam theHelespont instead of Leatuler, and that Ins abilities sur pass those of Anybody and Everybody in the world—that he is wiser thau the wisest, braver than the bravest, richer than the rich est, stronger than the strongest, and so on to the end of the chapter. Everybody and Any body are marvellously credulous,and believe that Nobody is just what he’s cracked up to be—that he can swallow all the animal cre ation at a mouthful, drink the Atlantic at a draught, and play trap-ball with theAllega nies. They are a rare set of fellows, with whom much fault might be found and of whom much praise might lie spoken. For our own part we have little more to say of them. Somebody lias got our unbrellu, which we will thank Anybody to return— Nobody, we understand, dislikes our paper; hut if Eveiybodv would subscribe for it and pny in advance, we wouldn’t thank Queen Yic to beourgrund-mama. We don’t know that we would any how. ft/* It is very strange that the American papers should publish such things as they do about blooded animals, pet monkeys and Queen Victoria. They wouldn’t dure to make such statements about decent ladies of their own country. But royalty!—how the very name overwhelmes some little souls. Royalty is the greatest of mortal greatuess, built upon tho littlecst of mortal littleness. When tho breed of small sou led men shall run out. then will royalty become extinct, but not before. *s• ft/* It is fashionable now-a-days to talk of bustles, and it is no rare thing to see a biped exquisite of the male gender poke i wny the wilderness of frizzled hair that en cumbers his tipper story, and thrusting out his jrhiz—which we can only liken lo tho nose of a mouse peering out of a mat of oeu in—exclaim, “Oie considaiv them bus tles demd vtilgnw defawmftots—perfcctlaw widrculou# —demd immitations.” The crea ture speaks the truth —hut could be hear the remarks that are sometimes made by the fair doformed, if he did not first remove the mote from his dim eye, as we are command ed in the good hook, he would be very apt to pull or cut away the hair from ahout'his calabash, before he attempted to remove the wool, feathers, bran, or whatever it may be, of which these same hustles are composed. In Greenshorough the other Sabbath, a bar her’shlockof this sort was gliding intochurch in the most graceful manner, when the fol lowing conversation was overheard on oie of the ladies’ benches. “ Goodness me, Bally, wlmt’a thot 1” “ That—why that’s a—wait till it turn* round,” said Sally, looking eagerly towards the dandy. “ Why it darkened the door as it entered.” “ Oh, me!” said Sally, “if it aint a man!” “ A man ?” “Yes, can’t you see its nose, just sticking out.” “ Well it is, I declare! and all that about his shoulders is hair! 1 wonder if it’s natu ral.” “To he sure it is. Don’t you know that heads vv-thout brains grow hair just as old fields grow broom-straw.” “ Well, I’ve always noticed that-thinking men are bald-headed veiy early. But good npss, what u* ill* oo oT tuirh 9 hAfiJ of hairV* “ Lord only knows,” replied Sally with a sigh, “unless they sell it to the ladies to makp hustles.” “ Sure enough ! wouldn’t it beTcapital. There’s enough for one large one.” “ Throw in the whiskers and mustaches, and there would be a plenty for two.” By this time the dandy had found a seat, and was reclining his head upon his cane, no doubt to rest his neck, and the preacher made his appearance, which put an end to the di alogue; hut all the ladies’ eyes were turned upon what looked like a shaggy bale of hair hanging upon a stick. Medical College of Georgia.— The course of lectures in this institution was opened yesterday with an exceedingly appropriate and happy address by Dr. Ford. We are gratified to learn that the class in attendance is much larger than at any former com mencement, and that a considerable number of young gentlemen are still expected.— Constitutionalist.
