We had much rather hear others brag of our paper than brag of it ourself, but so well are we assured of the fact that modest worth seldom receives its deserts in this world, and so certain are we that we can write no thing in praise of the appearance of on r sheet that would be unmerited, we are determin ed to say a good word or so for it—our mod esty not withstanding. Were we to declare the “ Southern Miscellany” to be the hand somest, cheapest and best newspaper in the Union! we would he imitating the example of our Northern contemporaries, and our brethren of the press at home might think we were coming it strong indeed. But we have not got quite so conceited a notion of our paper as that. We only wish to put the question to our reading public—ls not the “Miscellany” as fair a paper to look up on, as any dedicated to the family circle in the South ] We believe it is. Well, that’s something to brag of, and we must be al lowed to feel a little proud of our appear ance. While we are in sogood humor with ourself and all honest men, we will catechise a little further: Is not the plan and arrange ment of our paper as well calculated to in terest and benefit the reader as any other ? We believe it is. In it may always be found the choicest selections, from every source— tales with which to while away the long win ter nights— moral readings for the thought ful and pious— anecdote and humor with which to dissipate enui—useful intelligence on every subject—romance and song for lovers, and the latest news for all who care to know the world in which they live—hut not one paragraph of politics or sectarian ism to promote discord and contention.— Such a paper we have hoped would be sus tained by an enlightened public—suchapa per we have aimed to make the “Miscella ny”—and, we believe we have. And now, dear reader, have we boasted ought but truth —will you not endorse all we have said? We believe you will. Is not the entertainment you derive from our sheet worth the little price we ask for it? We believe it is. Will you not, then—hearing always in mind that no good was ever known to come to a man who habitually borrowed newspapers—when your neighbor seeks to borrow it, bid him go and subscribe and pay for it, as you do, and thus confer a favor on both him and us ? We hope you will! MADISON MARKET. Cotton comes in freely, and is taken by our buyers at from 4 to 6 cents—principal sales, for good fair, 4f to 5J cents. The receipts during the week, ending last even ing, were 1849 bales. Groceries of every description are plenty, and selling remarkably cheap. The follow ing are the prices of a few of the leading articles : Salt, 75 cents ; Bagging, 17 to 22 cents; Iron, Swedes, 6 cents; Nails, SJ cents; Sugar, 8 to 12 cents; Coffee, 11 to 13 cent3 ; Molasses,33 to 37J cents ; Twine, 33 cents ; Bale Rope, 8 to 13 cents. Our merchants are also well supplied with all the articles in the Dry Goods busi ness, and we refer the reader to our adver tising columns that they may assure them selves of this fact: If competition reduces prices, the Madison merchants sell cheaper than those of any other town in the State ! 05 s * We received no Eastern Mail yes terday morning, a disappointment for which we know not how to account. If we knew who to blame we would he very apt to hear down on him. We cannot think that the fault is with the Augusta Post-Master, we know that gentleman’s promptness and at tention to business too well to suppose that we are indebted to any negligence ofhis for the failure, and yet the train came through. Who is to blame, then ? 05* We have received a communication from someone, signing himself “ Gen. Na poleon B. Crotchett,” in which our friend and correspondent Maj. Joseph Jones, is most rudely assailed. The article is entire ly too long for insertion ; besides, until we are better assured cf tho truth of the state ments made by the author we cannot give them publicity through the columns of the “Miscellany.” Fer the satisfaction of the Major, however, who may have some curi osity to know in what manner he has been assailed, we will give the first paragraph : “ Mr. Editor—l was informed by a friend a few days ago, that he had read in Jones’ Bth letter some scurrilous language about me. I have not as yet taken the Miscella ny, hut the perusal of the paper that con tained that letter will doubtless he the cause of my taking it on the subsequent year. I perused that letter with emotions of commis eration, commingled with contempt. With commiseration, because the Major is devoid of a conscience. With contempt, because he is a poltroon and liar, and every liar ac cording to a sentiment of Pollock, shall his portion have among the accursed without the gates of life.” 05“ We are indebted to some of our Milledgeville friends for pamphlets contain ing the “Annual Report of the Treasurer,” and “ Bank Reports.” They will be found on the table of our Reading Room. TIIE WEATHER. Wednesday and Thursday last were as beautiful May days as were ever seen in Madison. Fires were out, windows thrown open, and we almost imagined we could hear the spring birds singing in the garden bow ers. We thought of Miller—the end of the world, &c. —and repeated to ourself the line from that pleasant old Methodist hymn— “ December’s as pleasant as May.” But we are no Millerite, reader—we only I happened to think of the coincidence. STATE LEGISLATURE. After wading through the long columns of legislative proceedings, we are unable to discover that any thing of importance has been done by either body since our last, and unless the balance of the Session is more profitably employed than the past time has been, we fear little will be accomplished foi the public good. The hill to wind up the affairs of suspended hanks, to which we al luded in our last, was passed by the Senate on Saturday. 35* Congress commenced its session on Monday last. This being the short session, we presume little else will he done than what pertains to the marshalling of parties for the coming Presidential campaign. The battle of 1840 is to be fought over again.— May our country come as safely through the fiery ordeal of party strife ! 05 s James Watson Webb, who was re cently sentenced to two years imprisonment for leaving the State to fight a duel with Mr. Marshal, of Kentucky, has been par doned by the Governor of New York. On the receipt of the pardon, it is said, the gal lant Colonel immediately left the Tombs for more comfortable apartments at home ! 05 s * An effort is making by the citizens of Milledgeville to effect a junction with the Central Rail Road, by mean 9 of a branch Road from that city to some eligible point on the main Road. That such a junction would be of immense advantage to our seat of government does not admit of a doubt, and we sincerely hope the project may be successfully accomplished. Lilly, the murderer of young M’Coy is at present in Liverpool a <d in*, m a in a “ SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW.” We take much pleasure in calling the at tention of our readers to this excellent work, two volumes of which are already before the public. The importance of sustaining the “ Review” as a standard of criticism at the South, must he apparent to every friend of Southern literature, and we do most sin cerely hope that it will not be permitted to languish for want of that liberal patronage which it so richly merits. Mr. Whitaker, the senior Editor, is favorably known to the Southern public, as the former accomplish ed editor of the “ Southern Literary Jour nal.” With him is associated Mr. G. F. Holmes, a young gentleman of superior at tainments, who has already contributed much to the popular literature of the day. These gentlemen are aided by a long list of able writers, among whom are the follow ing : Hon. Joel R. Poinsett, Dr. Cartwright, of Natchez, Hon. x\lexander 11. Everett, Hon. Wm. J. Grayson, Judge Porter, Rev. Win. 11. Barnwell, Dr. Gtirrie, W. C. Brooks, Richard Furman, M. D., Wm. Ba con Stevens, M. D., Rev. Dr. Brantley, Rev. J. L- Reynolds, Rev. S. G. Bulfinch, Rowland Hazard, Esq., Hon. R. H. Wilde, Edmund Bellinger, Esq., Gen. Jameison, Moses Summer, of Newberry, S. C., and Miss Allison, from Edinburgh. The “ Southern Quarterly Review” is printed on fair type and superior paper, each volume (of which there are two in a year) comprises about six hundred large oc tavo pages, and is securely mailed to Sub scribers for $5 per annum. Burgess & Walker, printers, Charleston, S. C. THE “FAMILY COMPANION. ” t In theatricals, nothing so essentially mars the enjoyment of the play, as a “ peep be hind the scenes ;” the scenic illusion is gone when we have touched with our fingers the rough canvass —the peeling thunders of an gry Jove lose their terrific sublimity when we think of the sheet-iron and bellows with which it is“ brued,” end the mailed knight, with sable plume and visor down, fails to challenge our consideration when we think of the bloated vulgarity that struts in paint ed rags and tinsel. Even a bank note loses its chief power to charm—its peculiar al mightyness—when we know of the fraud ulent rottenness of the institution issuing it. So with a magazine : our opinion of its character and merits, is perhaps too sensibly affected by our knowledge of the true char acter of its progenitors—and when we think of the deception and artifice employed, the hollow pretensions, the ignorant presump tion, the affected sentiment and wanton malignity of those who put it forth, we find it hard indeed to divest ourself of the prejudice naturally arising in our minds against everything emanating from such a source. We pieface thus in order that the magazine under consideration may have all the benefit of our acknowledged bias—of which, however, we will endeavor entirely to divest ourself while noticing it—in pur suance of our plan of candidly expressing our opinion of the periodicals that reach our table. The December number is the first of the new volume. The pages are reduced about one-third in size—to correspond with the reduced price—and are altered from the bi column to the ordinary hook page, which is | the only material change in the work. As heretofore, the “ Companion” is well stored with light literature—tales, poetry, essays. &c.—among which we find a gem from the pen of our friend and former correspondent, Henry R. Jackson. But we have not space to pass in review the individual articles con tained in the number. Suffice it, they will compare with the magazine literature of the day—the same genius which helped the publisher to much the largest portion of her subscriptiorTlist, having procured for her the aid of able pens. The editorial department opens with a display of the editor’s critical acumen—in which, by-the-by, he prides himself exces sively, as the readers of his magazine have had sufficient proof. Boor Dickens conies in for a taste of his quality, which the edi tor manifests in a sort of wishy-wasbv, hotch-potch of what has been written and re-written by the thousand and one scrib blers about the “ American Notes.” Two or three little paragraphs are picked from the work,to which are appended two or three more little paragraphs, which might have been cut at random from any of the New- York penny papers, for all the originality they contain, and over these is placed the pretending bibliographic caption—after the manner of the quarterlies— “American Notes for General Circulation, By Charles Dickens.” That such stuff should be put forth as magazine criticism, is, to say the least, truly ridiculous. But, as we have premised, we may be prejudiced, and will therefore pass thi9 department without further comment— not without expressing the hope, however, that he will not deny us the enjoyment of that “ irresistibly ridiculous” sketch ho an nounces as in progress of preparation. We know his peculiar talent in the “ life-like,” and hope he will not let us off as he did his contemporary of tho “ Magnolia”—with on ly a throat new paters. We have received the first number of a new paper, entitled “ Mountain Times, and Gold Region Reporter,” published at Dali lonega, Lumpkin County, Georgia, by Messrs. J. C. S. & D. M. Hood, and edited by W. Martin, Esq. We see by the edi tor’s salutatory that the Times “ will be de voted to the discussion and maintenance of the Democratic Party of this great Repub lic.” The same day’s mail brings us the first number of “ The Little Georgian,” pub lished at Forsyth, Monroe County, Georgia, by Messrs. S. Harris and F. W. Johnson. The editors say—“ We do not know that we will he able to maintain an ‘ armed neutrality’ towards both the great political parties for twelve months, but we’ll try.” Both papers have our best wishes for their prosperity. 05* The Milledgeville Recorder says — “We have been politely furnished with a number of fine specimens of marble, from a quarry in Walker county. Those who desire to examine them are invited to do so. What a country is ours, and what a country could she be made ! Cotton, Corn, Sugar, Silk, Tobacco, Indigo, Gold, Iron, Tin, Marble, Gypsum, and an array too long to enumer ate, of the most valuable and useful products of nature, all within our limits, and all at our command. Surely, if Georgia becomes an impoverished Slate,the fault willbefound to be alone at the door of her citizens.” 05* It is stated that Hon. W. C. Preston has sent his resignation of his seat in the United States Senate to the Legislature of South Carolina, now in session, and that the Hon. John C. Calhoun, intends also to re sign. Within the last few years the Senate has lost many of its brightest ornaments — Webster, Southard, Clay, and now Calhoun and Preston. Verily the glory of the rican Senate is passing away. Since writing the above, we have seen in the “ Charleston Mercury,” Mr. Calhoun’s letter of resignation addressed to the Car olina Legislature. Ex-Governor McDuffie, has been elected in the place of Mr. Pres ton. Mr. Calhoun will continue in the Sen ate through the present Congress. 05* Mr. Dicken3, in his late work, has some very wholesome remarks upon the prevalence of Party Spirit, “ the Simoon of America, sickening and blightingeverything of wholesome life within its reach,” and expresses his surprise “ that the miserable strife of Party feeling” should he carried even into the government of our mad-houses —that the eyes that watch over the insane inmates of such institutions among us “must wear the glasses of some wietched side in politics.” The truth of these remarks of the writer is hut too apparent, and the per nicious consequences of Pally rancour is every day manifested among us, in our legis lation, our social intercourse, and our reli gion. Instances are every day occurring which go to prove how much is lost to the public weal by the devotion to Party of those who are entrusted with the affairs of gov ernment. Indeed, it is difficult to point out any public measure that is not rather can vassed by the strength of Party than the merits of its provisions. The demon, Par ty Spirit, presides in our National Councils, and gives laws to our people—he reigns over the minds of the populace and suhju gutes the judgments of men—he directs the mighty power of the Press—sits upon the Judicial bench,and thundersfrom the sacred desk. All must bow the knee to Party ! Even if we would thank our God for his mercies, or pray to Him for blessings, we must do so by the formula prescribed by Party. We have been led to these reflections by observing, in the last Milledgeville papers, the report of legislative proceedings, which we think afford a striking illustration ofsnur views. In the Senate, Mr. Carter offered the following resolution : “ Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly met —That in view of the manifold and pro longed calamities under which our country has suffered, his Excellency the Governor he and he is hereby requested to appoint the first Friday in May next, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, to he attended with appropriate religious services in the several churches throughout this State.” Some discussion ensued, in which it was contended that there was little or no calami ty to complain of, and consequently no favors to ask of the Almighty. The resolution was, however, adopted by a vote of 37 to 32. After which, a proposition was submit ted by Dr. Freeman, of Franklin, to amend by adding after the word “ calamities,” the words “ brought about by the pipe-laying and hard cider campaign of 1840.” What a mortifying commentary upon the evils of Party Spirit! DISAPPOINTMENT. Pshaw! this paper aint worth shucks. It haint got no murders in it, nor no hangins, noi house burnins, nor robberies, nor steam boat bustins, nor rail road accidents, nor fights, nor drowndins, npr nothin iuterestin. If I borrow it agin, I’m baudaciously ram swiveled and stuck into a log for a wedgo— that’# all! JOHN C. COLT. We have not published the various ac counts concerning this individual, which have been so current in the papers since his murder of Mr. Adams, for the reason that we are averse to filling our nnper with all the details of crime that meet us in almost every sheet we open. We do not believe any good can result to society from making every murderer a hero. We believe that,to the morbid taste which is inculcated by the press—by the publicity which it gives to ev ery revolting outrage —much of the crime so prevalent in the land is attributable. Hence we have excluded such matter from our col umns, notwithstanding the avidity with which it is sought, and the thrilling interest it is sure to excite. We might have filled our columns with the various statements that have been manufactured by the New York press respecting this unfortunate wretch, did we, like they, desire to pander to the worst appetites of our nature. But weliave not, nor would we now introduce his name, hut that we desire to give the news relative to his case. In our paper week before last we pub lished an account stating that he had com mitted suicide. Since then we have seen rumors—and circumstantial evidence suffi cient to satisfy our minds—that he has es caped alive the penalty of the law. It is stated that a corpse was conveyed in the coffin to his cell, an opportunity afforded him to dress the dody in his own clothes, place the knife in its brea3t, and then to es cape. Some accounts say that he has sail ed in the Great Western for England.— O There is much excitement in New York about the matter, and welook for disclosures of corruption and bribery of high officials, more astounding, if possible, than any that has yet come to light in modern Babylon. 05* Mr. Dickens, in his “ Notes,” gives the following sketch of the condition in which a large majority of the free blacks of the North are found in tlieir dens in the large cities. If such are the fruits of their boast ed freedom, it becomes a question howmuch are they indebted to the Abolition fanatics for the change from slavery and plenty, and content, to that freedom which places them in a condition so abject and miserable. • “ What place is this, to which the squalid street conducts us ? A kind of square of leprous houses, some of which are attaina ble only by crazy wooken stairs without.— What lies beyond this tottering flight of steps, that creak beneath our treat! ? a mis erable room, lighted by one dim candle,end destitute of all comfort,save that which may he hidden in a wrethed bed. Beside it, sits a man : his elbows on his knees : his fore head hidden in his hands. “ What ails the man!” asks the foremost officer. “ Fever,” he sullenly replies, without looking tip. Con ceive the fancies of a fevered brain, in such a place as this! “ Ascend these pitch dark stairs, heedful of a false footing on the trembling boards, and grope your way with me into this wolf ish den, where neither ray of light, nor breath of air appears to come. A negro lad, star tled from his sleep by the officer's voice— he knows it well—hut comforted by his as surance that he has not come on business, officiously bestirs himself to light a candle. The match flickers fora moment,and shows great mouiulsofdusky rags upon theground; then dies away and leaves a denser darkness than before, if there can he degrees in such extremes. He stumbles down the stairs and presently comes hack, shading a flaring taper with his hand. Then the mounds of rags are seen to be astir, and rise slowly up, and the floor is covered with heaps of negro women, waking from their sleep: their white teeth chattering, and their bright eyes glistening and winkingon all sides with sur prise and fear, like the countless repetition of one astonished African face in some strange mirror. “ Mount up these other stairs with no less caution (there are traps and pitfalls here, for those who are not so well escorted as our selves) into the housetop ; where the hare beams and rafters meet over-bead, and calm night looks down through the crevices in the roof. Open the door of one of these cramped hutches full of sleeping negroes. Bah ! They have a charcoal fire within; there is a smell of singing clothes, or flesh, so close they gather round the brazier; and vapors issue forth that blind and suffocate. From every corner, ns you glance about you in these dark retreats, some figure crawls half-awakened,as if thejudgment-liour were near at hand, and every obscene grave were giving up its dead. Where dogs would howl to lie, women,and men, and hoys slink off to sleep, forcing the dislodged rats to move away in quest of better lodgings. “ Here too are lanes and alleys, paved with mud knee-deep: underground cham bers, where they dance and game,the walls bedecked with rough designs of ships, and forts, and flags, and American Eagles out of number: ruined houses, open to the street, whence, through wide gaps in the walls, other ruins loom upon the eye, os though the world of vice and misery but! nothing else to show: hideous tenements which take their namo from robbeiy and murder: all that is loathsome, drooping, and decayed is here.” * 05* We propose the following problem to the public, in the hope that all who are curious in such matters will set about to en able us to solve it: If one thousand sub scribers, et $2 50 each, enables us to pre sent tho reader with such a paper as the “ Southern Miscellany” fifty-two times a year, what would two thousand subscribers, at the same price, enable us to do? \Y T o feel a deep interest in the solution, by de- j monstration, of this problem. 1 05* Read the article on the opposite page entitled “ Pills, Sanatives, &c.” Read and ponder it, and ask yourself if it is not true ? We had thought of writing an article on the same subject, hut found this already to our hand, and precisely to our liking. LIARS Are very unpopular people. Nobody likes a liar, even though they lie occasional ly themselves. An old gentleman once wishing to restrain the practice of this vice in his son, took great pains to impress the youngster’s mind with the impropriety of indulging his prevailing weakness. “ Nev er l:e, Thomas,” said he, “ it’s a shocking bad practice—it’s wicked, it’s dishonest, it’s mean, it’s low, it’s vulgar, and all that, Thom as; but what is worse than nil, you’re so apt to be found out.” The moral instilled by this parental lecture never deserted the youth, for he took good care to escape the worst consequences, by never permitting himself to he “ found out,” while one He would serve to hide another. . A LIBERAL ACT. The Hon. Mr. Wadsworth, of Geneva, N. Y., lately expended SIO,OOO in the pur chase of eleven thousand copies of a book entitled “ ThcSchoolmasterand the School,” for the purpose of presenting a copy to each School District in the State of New York. 05* The bill to divide the State of Ten nessee into Congressional Districts has pass ed both Houses, and is now a law. T7tc morning Air. — There is something in the morning air that, while it defies the shallow penetration of our philosophy, odds brightness to the blood, freshness, life and vigor to the whole frame. The freshness of the lips is one of the surest marks of health. If we would be well, therefore, if we would have our heart dancing gladly, like the April brook, we must up with the lark—“ the merry lark,” as Shakspeare, calls it—which is the “ ploughman's clock,’’, to warn him of the dawn ; up, and breakfast on the morning air, and with the sun “ walk o’er thdew on yon eastern hills.” 05* Persons indebted to tlie subscriber for subscription (o the “Augusta Mirror,” are request ed not to make payment to B.
