MERRY CHRISTMAS ! What heart doe3 not warm with the fer vor of youth, at the return of “ Merry Christmas,” hallowed as it is, with the ma lty bright associations and cherished memo ries of the past ? How it recalls to our minds the scenes of our childhood—the old famil iar home—the cheerful fire-side —the merry tones and joyous laugh of those dear ones, who were once all the world to us ! How well we remember the merry little group that gathered round the cheerful hearth, with us, on that auspicious eve, when “ The stockings were bung by the chimney with care In hopes that St. Nickolas soon would be there,” And then the extatiejoy with which those mysterious treasures were counted over and over, amid grateful thanks and reverential awe for good St. Nicholas. Oh, the light of those glad faces, the gushing emotion of those fond hearts ! But, alas I where at e they now ? That hearth-stone is desolate— the merry laugh is hushed within those halls, and the willow bends its drooping branches mournfully over the graves of the loved and lost! But why speak of the grave 1 We were to write of “ merry Christmas,” and its joyous associations. And yet such is human happiness —ever mingled with hu man woe —so that when we would cull the roses of pleasure from the past, we must gather them from among the thorns of sad memories. A merry Christmas, to you, gentle reader! May the gind season of family festivities bring with it no sad recollection of blighted hopes—no mementos of departed joys—but may it upon this return find you rich in the possession of every eat tidy good—cheerful, happy and contented! ttj*’ The “ Love Scrape,” which appears on our outside this week is mot e a fact than fiction, and is the production of a young gentleman who has not seen “ the blessed light of heaven” for many years, having been entirely deprived of sight in early youth.— This fact will account for its peculiarity of style. 25* We have received a very appropri ate New Year’s Address from our correspon dent E. L. W., which our Carrier will have the extreme gratification of laying before his readers, on Saturday next. TIIE WEATHER. In the early part of the week we had some rain, since which, it has cleared off cold as Greenland. Yesterday the wind blew as sharp as vinegar and cut like razor blades—there is ice thick and firm enough to bear a juvenile horse, and the way fat lightwood is appreciate is best understood by those who have none to burn. We an ticipate many serious consequences to re sult from the change in the weather. Look at the Hymenial announcements in to-days paper. Wehearof many weddings on the ta pis, though we have not announced one be fore for months. Some say these affairs are attributable to the weather, while the old bachelors say that “ It is the very error of (lie moon, She comes more near (lie earth than she was wont, And makes men mad.” Poor fellows, they would like to be thus moonstruck themselves. But we fear there is little hope for them, as they are fast lecc ding into the gloomy vale of cold celibacy, beyond the reach of gentle influences—be coming alike invulnerable to “ beaming eyes” or gentle moon-beams. 05 s * An election has been ordered by the Governor to be held on the second Monday in January next, to elect one Member of Congress to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Hon. Richard W. Haber sham. Two gentlemen have been plac ed in nomination by their respective parties. George W. Crawford, Esq., of Richmond, will he supported by the Whigs, and Col. Alexander McDougald, of Muscogee,|by the Democrats. A NEW YEAR’S PRESENT. We have for each of our patrons who are in arrears, a very handsome and appropriate present, in the shape of a beautiful printed receipt, which they can have by calling at our office and settling their accounts. We hope each and every one will embrace the earliest opportunity, for in doicraight earn est we are in want of the amounts due us to enable us to discharge the demands of those who have claims against us. We need not remind our readers that this is the season when people arc expected to square up the accounts of the year; and we hope none will neglect our claims because they are small, when we assure them that it is only by the aggregate of these small amounts that we are enabled to meet larger ones against us, which wc incur in the prosecu tion of our publication. We sincerely hope this call will not be disregarded,bu t that it willfecei vc the prompt attention of every one on our list who has not settled his subscription to the “ Miscella ny.” Those at a distance will do an act of justice as well as confer a favor, by remitting their subscriptions immediately. We earn estly appeal to our subscribers for a com pliance with our terms at this time. INTERESTING EXHIBITION. An exhibition of a novel character was given on Wednesday evening last, at the Planters’ Hotel, by two mutes, Messrs. Darlington and McKinney. Their perfor mances consisted in pantomimic represen tations of incidents and scenes of every day life, many of them highly interesting, all of which they peiformed and illustrated by their mute yet eloquent language of signs, in a manner highly gratifying to the audi ence. The weather beinginclemeut the at tendance was riot so general as it otherwise would have been, but such was the interest ing character of their performances, and such the degree in which these unfortunate young men by their polite and gentlemanly deportment won upon the esteem and con sideration of those who did attend, that bad their engagements permitted them to repeat their exhibition, they'would have been greet ed by a numerous audience. At the close of the performances a litera ry composition, by Mr. Darlington, was read to the company, which we conceive afford ed a very happy illustration of the high de gree of mental culture attainable by the deaf and dumb under their present system of education. We give our readers, as a specimen, a few of the quaint metaphors with which the production alluded to a boutids— “ Knowledge is the day of the mind, Ig norance the Night, Wit the Lightning, Elo quence the Thunder, Cheerfulness the Sky, mirth the Sunshine, Reflection the Moon light, Melancholy the Cloud, Laughter the Electricity, and Passion the Storm.” “ Time is the age of Matter ; Eternity, of God.” “ Heat is the life of Matter, Cold the Death, Water the Blood. Steam the Sweat, Physics the Chemestry, and Light the Eye sight.” “ Machinery is matter in motion ; Mind is air in motion; Sound is the voice of mo tion.” “ Never marry unless for Love, because it is the Salt of Matrimony.” “ Forgiveness is the sponge which im bibes Injuries.” CENTRAL BANK. A Bill has passed the Legislature not to repeal the charter of the above institution, but to restrict its operations, and otherwise regulate its concerns so as to sustain it until it can redeem its circulation. The follow in g are the provisions of the Bill: It pre vents all further drafts ort the Bank—thus leaving it its own resources to pay its own debts; it prevents all further discounts, loans, or the dealing in exchange; it pre vents all issue or re-issue of its bills; it ap propriates all surplusfunds of the treasury, if any, to its use; it requires the bills on hand to be burned quarterly, and pledges the faith and honor of the State for the redemp tion of its bills. There is to be no change in the direction. The result of the investi gations into the affairs of this institution in the enactment of any other law than such an one as would destroy its existence, will disappoint the expectations of the people. How the policy of the present Legislature will work, remains to be seen. “ MASONIC JOURNAL.” J. R. Davis, Esq , of Augusta, has laid upon our table a neatly bound half-volume of the above periodical. The “Journal” lias been issued in monthly parts from the press of Messrs. Brown & McCafferty, in a neat octavo form, at the low price of $3 per annum. The book before us contains much valuable matter designed to interest the members of the Masonic fraternity—com prising addresses, correspondence, statis tical and other information respecting the various Lodges. The work has been sus pended for a few months, but wo under stand is shortly to be resumed. It merits the support of the Masons of the South and South-West. Mr. C. F\ Hoffman, of this piece, is agent for the work, of whom bound volumes of the numbers already issued can be obtained. ad> xr m m :ii 1* mas ah'st® 25 s * In looking over the Legislative pro ceedings. we see, among the bills lost in the House, one entitled “ A Bill to grant the right of citizenship to certain free persons of color, and their descendants, and to remove their legal disabilities.” Upon the vote be ing taken, the yeas and nays stood—yeas, 3 —Messrs. Bruce, Hibbeuts, and Tittle ; nays, 157. The overwhelming rebuke re ceived by this amiable tryo, in the vote of the House, we trust, will serve to dissuade others from again insulting the feelings of Georgians and the dignity of that body by the introduction of similar measures. Such an attempt should meet the indignation of every friend of Southern institutions—come from what source it may. (15 s * The Bill to divide the State into eight Congressional Districts has passed both branches of the Legislature, and only waits the signature of the Governor to be come a law. It is to take effect at the next Congressional election in 134-1. We be lieve the law as passed is less objectionable to the miniority than was anticipated. 25 s * The New. York Journal of Com merce of Saturday last contains the follow ing : A most horrible A fair. —It turns out that events of a most appalling character occur red on board the U. S. brig Somers, on her voyage home from Africa, which were not disclosed by the officets on her arrival, be cause it was thought best that the publica tion should be made by the Government.— Such things cannot, however, be kept secret. The Somers is a very fine sailer, has ten guns, and a crew of about twenty able men, and forty apprentice boys, making with the officers, some seventy-five persons on board. Shortly before the brig arrived at St. Thomas, where she put in to water, it came to the knowledge of Lieutenant Commandant Mackenzie, that a mutiny was in prepara tion on board, headed by Midshipman Spen cer, a son of the Hon. Secretary of War. Spencer was thereupon arrested, and papers were found upon him, signed by such a num ber of the crew as would have been able to carry out theirplan by a surprise. The obli gations they had entered into, were of the most desperate kind. They had sworn that theyare not afraid of blood; thatafter the brig had been watered and was prepared for a cruise, they would rise, take possession of her, and kill every officer except the sur geon, who might be necessary for them ; that they would then proceed off the Hook of New York harbor,and capture the home ward hound packets, which they expected would contain large sums or specie. Os tiie people on board the captured vessels, they swote that no one should be left to tell tales. After these horrible disclosures, a Court Martial was held upon Spencer and those prominently connected with him. It was impossible to know how far the con tamination bad spread, though it had evi dently spread to a most dangerous extent. To crush it at all hazards, was indispensi hle. The Court Martial determined that nothing short of the prompt execution of tho ringleaders would ensure the safety of the ship. Spencer and two petty officers were thereupon ordered to be hung on the yard arm, which was done forthwith, and such other measures taken as entirely frus trated the diabolical plan. The brig now lies at the Navy Yard, with all hands on hoard, all intercourse with the shore being forbidden. The full details it is impossible to obtain at present; they will be fraught with terrible interest. Lieut. Mackenzie is noted for his kind and Christian character, hut great firmness in the duties of his office. Such an occurrence, we are happy to say, is new in our Navy, and not likely to be soon repeated. We shudder at the thought of the scenes which would have been enact ed in our waters if this conspiracy had ac complished its design. Spencer was about 19 years of age, and received his warrant as midshipman on the 20th Nevember, IS4I. Most sincerely do we sympathise with the afflicted family of which lie was a member. A Baltimore paper says that a third parly is forming in Massachusetts, called the scattcration party, and gives as evidence of the fact, the vote of one of the towns in which the poll lately stood, Whig 10, Dem ocratic 57, and Scattering 151. We see by a late Boston paper, that there is yet a fourth party organizing in that city, called the “ No Government and Woman’s Rights Party.” At a late meeting of the latter it was resolved, “ that the assumption of au thority by man over man, in the form of hu man governments, is a usurpation of the prerogative of our Creator,” &c., and in another resolution that the Government and State Governments of this union are “ at trocious despotisms,” “ inasmuch as they proscribe one half of the people ori account of their sex from the exercise and enjoyment of what are called civil and political rights.” What next shall we have from Boston 1 05* Samuel Woodworth, Esq., the au thor of “ The old Oaken Bucket,” one of the most popular songs in the English lan guage, died in New Yoak on the 10th inst. Mr. Woodworth was a practical printer, but for several years past devoted himself to lit . erary pursuits. He contributed largely to the popular periodicals of the day, and was an acknowledged favorite with tho public. As an author, he was modest and unassum ing—as a man, upright and honorable. Ho lived a virtuous and exemplary life, and died a good Christian, in the full hopo of a hap py immortality. His funeral was numer ously attended by the Typographical Socie ty, of which he was long an ornament. COTTON MARKET. Du ring the early part of the week our market was more animated than it is to day. Prices have ranged from 3J to 51— principal sales 4J to 4*. A large portion of tiie Cotton received has been purchased by our buyers. MASONIC CELEBRATION. The Festival of St. John, the Evengelist, will be celebrated by the Masonic Fraterni ty of Madison, on Tuesday next. A pro cession will be formed in front of the- Ma sonic Hall, at 10 o’clock, A. M., and proceed thence to the Presbyterian Church, where, after prayer by Rev. John P. Duncan, an Oiation will be delivered by A. A. Overton, Esq. A band of music will be in attendance on the occasion. 25 s ” We acknowledge one indebtedness to Hon. J. A. Merriwether for Public Doc uments received this week. Also, to our Milledgeville friends, for several Bills, etc. Qs=* It is rumored that Mr. Calhoun will go to England on a mission based upon the late movements of General Duff Green, in relation to the Reciprocal Treaty between the United States, England and France. 05 s * A writer in the “ Augusta Constitu tionalist,” proposes an alteration in the Con stitution, in reference to the manner of elect ing the President and Vice-President. Af ter attributing the “ depressed and degra ded” situation of the country to the evils arising from party contentions, and alluding to the causes which led to the destruction of the ancient Republics—the lack of pub lic virtue—he remarks: “ I have said, and I again say, to avoid destruction, you must change the mode of selecting your chief magistrate. I will not stop here. I will offer a plan for your con sideration : It will have this at least to re commend it, that it cannot be worse than the present one. Draft your President and Vice-President from the out-going members of the Senate, who have served a full term. If you adopt this mode, few, very few men will be sent to the Senate, but such as pos sess the first order of talents, and most ex tensive and varied information; and six years’ experience in the Senate will well fit such men to wield, with advantage to the country, the executive powers of the gov ernment. None will resign. By this mode you will congregate in the Senate of the United States a body of men whose like the sun has never shone upon. The President will go intooffice with no pledges to redeem, no political debts to pay. He cannot be drafted a second time under sixteen years. Nor can lie by any act of his have even the slightest influence on the choice of his suc cessor. Ilis only, bis sole aim will be, must be, the interest, tho honor,'the prosperity, the happiness and glory of his country, for only by such a course can his name be re membered with love and honor by the free myriads who may hereafter be born in and enjoy this free and happy land.” The writer's views are not more novel than they are rational and plausible; but we like stability in governments, and we doubt whetherany improved scheme of Pre sident-making would be attended with bet ter results than that recommended by the Father of his Country— the enlightenment of the people. We are perfectly willing to en tiust our stake in the destinies of the Re public to a free exercise of the elective franchise by a virtuous and intelligent peo ple ; bat we hope and trust the day will come when demagogues will perish from the land for want of ignorance upon which to prey. Then the Republic will be safe. SICKENING. The manager of the “ New York Muse um,” says he “ has the honor to announce that lie has obtained, at very great expense, the dresses worn by Queen Victoria and the Duchess of Kent on the occasion of Her Majesty’s marriage and coronation,” which attractions, says the “ Sunday Mercury,” have drawn full and fashionable houses, since their announcement. Now, is any better evidence needed of the fact that fashionable people of New York are the veriest noodles on the face of the earth 1 The niggardness of soul that could germinate such a taste, is only equalled by the gullibility of the mind that could be imposed upon by such a hum bug. Only such persons, as delight to gloat their eyes upon the cast-off trappingsof Roy alty', are green enough to believe that Her Majesty and Her Majesty’s mamma would sell their old clothes to furnish a show.— Why docs not the rival establishment, the “ American Museum,” announce that he has procured, “ at great expense,” one of the baby’s napkins just taken from the person of the royal infant ? Such a novelty would certainly make a fortune for the possessor in New York, and could be got up as read ily, and with less expense than the dresses. ItM lie four midshipmen recently en gaged in a duel, near Norfolk, Virginia, have had their names stricken from the roll of the Navy. So were those cashiered, who, some yeais since, were concerned in the duel which resulted in the death ofyoung Miller, of Philadelphia ; but they were soon reinstated and most of them promoted.— Perhaps these young gentlemen seek to be promoted, elevated by suspension. There is a vast difference between suspending an of ficer from tho quarter-deck and suspending him from tho yard-arm, though they are some-times as well qualified for one a3 the other. 05 s * It is thought that the Legislature will adjourn to-day. (5* > We learn from Florida that Col. Worth, has established his head quarters at St. Augustine, and that the Indians who ate said to he most ferocious looking fellows, are rapidly coming in. 25“ They served up shad at the Pulaski House in Savannah, ou the 15th inst. In the fish line, river navigation has a decided advantage over that ol rail-road. We have brought tiie sea-board within a few hour’s travel of Madison, but we can’t bring the fish. (5 s * An attempt lias been made to rob the Brandi of the Marine Bank at Macon. It was entered on the night of the 11th inst. by robbers, who penetrated to the vault, but could not force the iron chest containing the specie. The attempt proved a failure. (5* Alexander, the young man who was recently tried in Philadelphia for stabbing to death an exchange broker in that city, some time last summer, has been found guilty of manslaughter, which has of late become the common name for murder at the Noilh. (5 s * An eastern editor boasts that in one of the streets of his town there are, all in a row, a patent-medicine shop, a p’ ysician, a minister, a grave-stone manufacturer and a printer.

My ers, in Sumter County, twenty-thice feet below the surface of tile earth. (5 s * Mr. Nicholas Biddle is engaged in writing and publishing a series of letters on the financial condition of Pennsylvania.— They are said to be characterized by the usual style of the writer, and are prepared with ability. (5 s ’ In Paris, Missouri, coin is selling at 10 cents a bushel, oats 10 cents, and pork at from 1 to 31 50 per hundred pounds. New Orleans, Dec. 11. From Texas. —By the arrival of thesteam sliio Neptune, we have received files of Houston and Galveston papers to the Sill inst., inclusive. There appears to be little local news stirring. Congress assembled at Washington, in conformity with the Presi dent’s proclamation. The Journals contain the Message, the discussion of which occu pies the principal portion of their columns. Tho message itself is regarded as a very fee ble document, and its recommendation to make the Exchequer bills now in circula tion, receivable only for direct faxes, and not for import and lounge duties, is denoun ced as dishonest. It is a palpable violation of the public faith, and as such, seems to have drawn upon,the Executive public in dignation and scorn. In respect to the foreign relations of Tex as, the message gives no additional informa tion. Its comments upon the recent irrup tions of Mexico upon the frontiers of Texas are sui#i as might have been expected from an Executive whose vacillating and quib bling conduct, pending the invasion, at once disgusted the citizens of his own State, and mortified every ‘friend of Texas in other countries. The tone of the Message is ev idently hostile to any attempt on the part of Texas, to retaliate upon Mexico the aggress ions which that Republic lias made, and the President complains in a whining and cap tious spirit that the citizens should have been roused, by the repeated incursions of the Mexicans, to concert an organized re sistance, or attempt reprisals. The great source of the President’s mortification seems to be that the people dared to repair to the scene of strife, without awaiting the orders of the administration, after they luid suflef ed from the inert and passive conduct of the government. This portion of the message appears to have been dictated, by the wish that the battle of San Jacinto should he the last achievement of tho Texian army, and the hero of that field tho only general in the State. The President argues that nothing can be done unless lie ffs consulted, at the same time giving the people to understand, that if consulted he will do nothing. In regaid to the preparations to resist any contemplated invasion of Mexico, the Presi dent says there are abundant resources without,however, shewing in what they con sist ; unless, perchance, the opinion that one hundred armed men on the frontier might deter the Mexicans from future incursions, be considered as indicating the bulwark which is to stand betwixt the sovereignty of Texas and all efforts to overthrow it. Os the Navy, President Houston says no thing, but takes no small credit to lnmself for the fortifications of Galveston, which, by the way, we always understood were effect ed by private subscription and individual enterprise—which, in the premises, lig took occasion to rebuke. The message lepie sents the general condition of the country in a deplorable aspect —its resources crip plied, its circulation valuless, its credit ex tinguished. The report from the Army at tho West are contradictory; one represents the army as numbered 850 men, completely organiz- ed, under command of Gen. Somerville, on its march to the Rio Grande; another staffs that the drafted troops were fast deserting, and the volunteers were about following their example. The Texian schooner, San Benard, which was cast ashore during the late gale at Gal veston, is still lying fast aground. Iri* be lieved that she might be Set afloat for S3OO. Thu Indians have recently shown them selves about Austin, and stolen a number of liorscs. They have also appeared disposed to maltreat and murder unprotected citizens. Smuggling seems to be carried oti in the port of Galveston. The collector lately found thirty pieces of silk, snugly packed away in a barrel of flour; and a baker who had purchased some flour which had passed inspection, found a quantity of silk slowed in one of the barrels. “ A gentleman who arrived a few days since from San Augustine says : the Cus tom house in that district is closed and no duties are collected. The people all along the line from the Red River to the mouth of the Sabine openly defy the collectors and bring in their goods fiom the United States with as little hindrance as they would meet with iu transporting them from one county to another.”— Bee. “ Here tlie girls and here the widow Always cast tlicir earliest glace, With a smileless face consider, If they, too, won't stand a chance !” Married, In this place, on Tuesday evening last, the SOili instant, by the Kev. .tohn P.
