More about Marriage. —Our entempnra
of the Petersburg Republican, copied
from our paper a few days since, with signs
of approbation, a paragraph commending
hiarriage. It was n very proper piece; but
was none of our thunder. It was one of
these good things which float about with no
mark to indicate their authors, and become
the common property of the press. We
are glad to see tSjnt sentiments such as the
article aforesaid contained find favor in such
a quarter; and we hope that in this case
the nice distinction drawn between the ap
probation of the judgment and the volitions
of the will—viz : a man’s viewing a desira
ble thing with liis eye and his reaching af
ter it with his hand—does not exist.
We quote end commend to our gallant
neighbor, some additional arguments which
plainly prove what is for man,
“The fittest help just fortune could nfli-rd.”
Richmond Compiler.
Marriage. Jacobus do Voragine, in
twelve arguments, pathetic, succinct, and
elegant, has declared the benefits of mar-!
tiage. They are these :
1. Hast thou means? Thou hast one to
keep and increase them.
2. Hast thou none ? Thou hast one to
help thee to get some.
3. Art thou in prosperity ? She doublesit.
4. Art thou in adversity? She will com
fort, assist and bear thee up.
5. Ait thou at home? She will diive !
away melancholy.
G. Ait thou abroad ? Site prays fur thee,
wishes thee at home, welcomes thee with
j"-v
----7. Nothing is delightsome as home. No
society is equal to marriage.
8. The bond of conjugal love is adaman
tine.
9. Kindred increase, parents double,
brothers, sisters, families, nephews.
10. Thou art a father hy a legal and hap
py issue.
11. Barren matrimony is cursed by Mo
ses. How much more a single life ?
12. If nature escape not punishment, they
shall not avoid it, as he sung it,ihat without
marriage,
“ Earth, air, sen, land, full scon shall come to nought,
The world ilgeil'would he to ruin brought.”
Separate Property to Married Women. —
< < rent many lessons are glowing out of the
times. Until vve had seen the distress oc
casioned by the loss of every thing to fami
lies with which life could be made tolerable,
the idea of advocating a law seeming to wo
men the property they held at marriage,
never occurred to us. The most common
objection made to these settlements on the
wife is, that if a woman cannot afford to trust
her property with the man to whom she
will entrust her person, she ought not to
marry him. This is no teasoning at all. A
man may be ever so worthy, and vet not be
yond the reach of accident or misfortune.—
To guard against these, without injury to
any person, is the object of the provision.
When a woman mariieslet it lie understood
to the world that her property is secured to
her and the children she may have, and that
it cannot be taken for the debts of her hus
band. He may receive the profits, and
have the general control, but the title he
cannot convey.
Iti several of the States, regulations of the
kind exist. Louisiana has made the wife
secure in her property; .Maryland, at the
last session of her legislature, did the same
thing, and Mississippi in 1539 enacted a
law,from which the following are selections :
Howard if Hutchinson's Statutes, p. 333 :
1. “Any married woman may become
seized or possessed of any property, real or
personal, by direct bequest, demise, gift,
purchase or distribution, in her own name,
and as her own property. Prodded, the
same does not come from her husband after
coverture.
2. “ Hereafter, when any woman pos
sessed of a property iti slaves shall many,
her property in such slaves and their natural
increase shall continue to her, not withstand
ing her coverture; and she shall hold and
possess the same as her sepaiate property,
exempt from any liability fur the debts or
contracts of her husband.
3. “ When any woman, during coverture,
shall become entitled to, or possessed of
slaves by conveyance, gift, inheritance, dis
tribution or otherwise, such slaves together
w ith their natural increase, shall enure and
belong to the wife, in like manner as is
above provided as to slaves which she may
possess at the time of marriage.
4. “ The control and management of all
such slaves, the direction of their labor, and
the right of the production thereof, shall re
main to the husband, agreeable to the laws
heretofore in force. All suits to cover the
property or possession of such slaves, shall
he prosecuted or defended, as the case may 1
be, in the joint names of the husband anil
wife. In case of the death of the wife, such
slaves descend and go to the children of her
and her said husband begotten; and in case
Iheic shall be no child boin to the wife du
ring such coverture then such slaves shall
descend and go to the husband and to bis
licira.
,'>. “ The slaves owned hy a femes covert,
under the provisions of ibis act, may’ be sold
by the joint deed of husband am* wife, exe
cuted, proved, and recorded agreeably to the
laws now in force in regard to the convey
ance of the real estate of temes covert, and
not otherwise.”
We believe that sound principles of pub
lic policy require that a similar lavv should
be made in overy State. 1 lie reasons for
our opinion will not he added to the pies
ent article.
The law of Mississippi respecting the sale
of land by the husband, docs not go far
enough. The statute (not the one quoted
from) enables the wife to claim dower only,
where she refuses to join :n the sale, oi to
take possession of maiden lands after bet
husband’s death. Nothing prevents him
from selling his family out of house and
home, and delivering possession to the pur
chaser. The law should secure the home
stead, under any circumstances, and all
lands owned by the wife, from transfer at
any time. We are not personally interest
ed in the subject, and therefore feel at lib
erty to notice it. — Pus. Monitor.

Always proclaim the faults of others.—

Never give up your opinions though you

Whenever you attack your neighbor’s

Make it a rule to keep company with

When you have done an act of charity,
publish it to others—so that they may do so
too. Besides, every man can preach better j

Never pay your debts—it is unconstitu

“ What have I done that I should be us
ed so ?" —Said a forlorn woman, whose ap
pearance gave every assurance of poverty
and sufTeiing, while she covered her eyes,
no longer capable of shedding tears. The
fountain was diied up.
“ Used how?” I asked. “He,” pointing
to a rum-seller living on Chesnut street,
“he, took my husband, as faithful a matt as
ever wedded woman, got all his money,
burnt up his heart, ruined his body, palsied
his tongue, and sent him home to inflict on
me all the curses which overhung bis own
guilty head, and on his family, shame, that
neither toil nor tears can wipe away; and
now that husband is in the grave, with no
one to weep for him, or console bis wife arid
children.
“ My son caught the spirit and followed
the example of his father ; was enticed by
the same rum-seller, and drained of all that
he could earn or supply, till he came back I
upon me, not a son, but a useless carcase, j
quickened with the spirit of a fiend, and
lias ended his career, not in death, but
crime, at the thought of which I cannot
hold up my head ; widowed, childless and
old. Oh ! God, what have I done that i
should be used so ?”

MADISON, GEO :
SaSttrday, October 21, 18S3.
TO DELINQUENTS.
Next to being dunned we abominate dun
ning, and if we had no other reason on earth
for desiring wealth, we would wish to he
rich just that we might print the “ Miscel
lany” for nothing, and never be compelled
to ask out subscribers to pay us. But gra
cious knows we are not rich. No, dear read
er, we are poor, and what’s worse, have
plenty of poor kin, too young yet to provide
for themselves, and though the children of |
a printer are not capable of subsisting upon
newspaper popularity or thin air. But jok
ing aside. We sat down to wtite you a
dun—forsooth to scold some of you and to
remind you how bad you have treated us
by withholding your subscription money
from us so long after it is due. Now,
we will just put the question to you —Is it
not imposing on good nature to treat us so
—is it not rather—rather —scurvy !to keep
us out of our honest earnings just because
vve ate not forever hissing in your ear “pay
us what you owe us ?” or because we do not,
like those who have larger claims, but need
their money less, threaten you with an “ ac
tion on the case,” and talk of executions,
writs and all that ? We leave your own
sense of honor and of justice to answer ! If
we could see you and speak with you, and
make you sensible of the dread necessities
of our case, we feel assured you would not
i let another day pass over your heads until
1 you had settled the small amount which you
owe us— small to you, but in the aggregate,
large to us. Shall we not look for better
treatment from you in future?—will not
those who are in arrears for the first and
second volumes and to whom we have sent
hills hasten to remit to us ? We sincerely
hope that a prompt'response to this our earn
est call upon all who oice us for the “ Mis
cellany,” will obviate the necessity of our
again importuning them, either through the
columns of the paper, or by letter.
OUR MECHANICS.
lii another column will he found an arti
cle entitled, “ The Mechanics of Georgia,”
which we extract fiom the “La Grange
Herald.” Agreeing as vve do with the wri
ter in the main arguments advanced in be
half of this class of our population, vve feel
it our duty to call the attention of our read
ers to the subject, and to-give the influence
of our press, so far as it will go, towards
remedying the evil so justly complained of.
The question has often presented itself to
our mind —Why is it that there is not in all
! the broad territory of the South one single
village nr town that presents the same pros
perous, busy life-like appearance that is so
! sti iking a characteristic of the towns and
villages oftlie Northern, Eastern, and West
err. sections of our country ? And as often
have vve came to the conclusion, that the dif
ference is attributable alone to the compara
tive absence of that class of enterprizing, in- j
dustrious and intelligent mechanics which |
comprise so large a proportion of the popu
lation of those flourishing towns with which
we have instituted a comparison. Such
have been the superior agricultural advan
tages enjoyed by our people that they have
entirely overlooked almost every other in
terest, and while the greater part of our
population are engaged in tilling the earth,
the balance are either crowded into the pro
fessions, where they derive their sustenance
from the civil, moral or physical diseases of
the community, or are engaged in the com
merce of exchange, speculating upon the
productions of the soil, and bartering to us
those necessaries and comforts of life, which
are the productions of foreign artisans and
mechanics. Here is the chief error of our
! nolicy. We give no encouragement to the ;
| mechanic arts at home, and the whole bear
ing and tendency of our public sentiment,
as well as institutions, is to degrade and
stigmatise what should he honored and ex
alted—manual labor. Why is it that no
Southern youth will appientice himself to a
| trade, rather than slmfllu through his minor
ity as they are often compelled to do, with-
I out fortune,education ot substantial employ-
ment of any character? Because lie feels
that degradation is attached to labor—be
cause he knows that a professional gambler,
one who sports (that’s the professional term)
his living out of the community, in his ruf
fles, is respected and esteemed hy those who
have the influence and give tone to society,
far above the honest mechanic, who earns
his bl eed hy the labor of bis hands, with his
sleeves rolled up. It is time there should
he a change—it is time that mechanics
should be duly appreciated, and industrious
working men encouraged to make perma
nent settlements in our towns. Let but this
be done—let but an enterprising, industrious
class of mechanics become a part and por
tion of the population of our towns —let
them he properly encouraged hy our peo
ple, and soon would tilings assume anew
ryid blighter aspect. Then would the drow
sy stillness of our streets give way to the
busy hum of industry—the shady lounge of
the slothful idler would he changed to the
work-shop of the industrious mechanic, and
not only would the “ dignity of labor” be ac
knowledged hy the good and virtuous, hut
our Slate would he enriched in the same
proportion that the wants of her people
would he supplied hy their own industry.
If, then, the labor system in our Penitentia
ry exerts a baneful influence upon the inter
ests and character of our mechanics, would
it not he good policy to abandon it ? We
never could discover the propriety of sub
stituting “ hard labor,” for “ solitary con
finement.” Labor is not punishment—on
the contrary, vve doubt not but that any kind
of labor—the pounding of a piece of iron or
the hewing of a piece.of wood into some
prescribed shape, which would serve to give
employment to both mind and body—would
he bailed ns a grateful recteation hy any
one deprived of his liberty, and confined
within the walls of a prison. Solitary con
finement fora teim of years is indeed pun
ishment, and were our Legislature to adopt
it in lieu of labor, as many of the States have
done, thereby destroying the degrading
competition complained of, removing, in
some degree, the slisjma from honest indus
try,and affording encouragement to our own
mechanics, vve doubt not hut that they would
have a less number of convicts to provide
for within the walls of the institution ; while
many vvlio may now be candidates for its
honors, would become virtuous and indus
trious citizens.
“ RURAL REPOSITORY.”
We are in the regular receipt of a beau
tiful little quarto with the above title, which
vve deem richly deserving a passing com
mendatory notice. The “ Repository” is
published in the town of Hudson, Nevv-
York, at the very moderate price of one dol
lar per annum, and isdevoted to polite litera
ture. It is beautifully embelished.and every
number contains some choice articles from
the best writers of the country, both of
prose and poetry. We rememberthe“Ru
ral Repository,” which has now reached its
twentieth volume, *• since the time whereof
our memory runneth not to the contrary.”
It was then a diminutive little thing printed
on dark paper and coarse type, scarcely bet
ter in its externals than a cheap almanac,
and was filled with old Ghost stories and
riddles ; but it professed to he devoted to
literature, and it was planted in a generous
soil, where there was a reading public dis
posed to encourage home efforts, and it
grew and flourished, right therein Hudson,
under the very shadow of the great literary
emporium, until it has now attained its twen
tieth year, and is one of the most profitable
as well as popular literary enterprises ofthe
day. When will our people sustain their
own ? But no more of that. We would
commend the “ Repository” to all our young
j lady and gentlemen acquaintances who are
fond of entertaining prose and good poetry.
The “Repository” is small, cheap, and mo
dest, but lias few superiors for the same
money, even among the more pretending
weeklies of the north. W. B. Stoddard,
Editor and proprietor.
{£/=• “We regret,” says the Savannah
“ Georgian” of Monday, the lGth instant,
“to announce the death of Col. John Mil
lkn, member elect from this State to the
next Congress. His health has been, of
late, much impaired, but a sojourn in the
upper country of Georgia for mure than two
months Imd improved it materially. He re
turned to his home a few days since, end re
tired to his farm near the city, where he con
tracted a fever, which resulted yesterday in
his death.”
It would seem that dame nature has
taken it into her head this year just to let
us see what she can do. Some weeks since
we noticed some second growth peaches ; a
day or two ago vve were presented with sev
eral ripe pears, also the second growth, and
j yesterday, Col. N. G. Foster presented us
with a small branch of an apple-tree upon
which were four beautiful crimson-colored
June apples oftlie ordinary size, being the
second growth from the same tree this sea
son. The time was when such lucusnc.fitrrr
would have excited our wonder, but we do
not know why wo should he surprised at
any thing now-a-days, except it be honesty

COTTON MARKET.
The sales of the week, closing last even
ing, amounted to 706 bales, viz : 9 at s\, 2

known prices.
Our Merchants at the depot are well sup
plied with heavy stocks of Groceries, among
which vve are glad toperceive largesupplies
of Cotton Colton Bagging, which we under
stand is daily growing into favor with both
the planters and dealers. Our country
friends will find in Madison as good a stock
of goods at this time, both Dry Goods and
Groceries, as can be exhibited in any other
up-country market, and at prices equally
low.
THE ELECTION.
We have concluded to omit the publica
tion of our table of Election Returns until
we receive full returns. The “ Southern
Recorder,” of Tuesday last, says that they
have returns, in some shape, from all the
Counties in ihe State, except Ware, which
are as follows:
For Governor,
George W. Crawfotd, (whig,) - - - 38,502
Mark A. Cooper, (democrat,) - - - 35.0G1
Crawford’s majority, 3,441
For Congress,
Chappell,(W) 37,417 I Johnson, (D) 34,709
Stephens,(W) 35.414 | Starke, (D) - 34,972
Stephen’s mojoiity over Starke (the high
est Whig over the highest Democrat) is
3,442.
ELECTION NEWS.
The election news is contradictory.—
From all we can learn New Jersey has gone
for the Democrats.
Pennsylvania. —Tu tho sixteen districts
heard from the vvliigs have elected nine
members to Congress—a whiggain of three
. —which the editors of the “National Intel
ligencer” pronounce favorable beyond their
most sanguine expectations. The State
Legislature, as far as heard from, stands
even—twenty-four to twenty-four.
Ohio. —The “ Wheeling Times” claims a
whig gain in this State, as far as heard from.
(£/*■ A correspondent of the “ Georgia
Courier” suggests the division of the Cher
okee Judicial Circuit into two Circuits, in
the following manner. He proposes that
the Counties of Cat roll, Cobh, Cherokee,
Forsyth, Lumpkin, Union, and Gilmer form
anew Circuit to lie called Chestutre, leav
ing Paulding, Cass, Murray, Walker, Dade,
Chattooga and Floyd to constitute the Cher
okee Civcuit. No one will deny that the
writer’s suggestion is sustained hy sound
reasoning, when it is borne in mind that not
only was the Cherokee Circuit otiginally
the largest in the State, hut that the increase
of population and legal business, within the
past few years, has been such as to render
the duties of a single presiding officer ex
tremely onerous. The interests of the peo
ple ns well as the delibei ate and faithful ad
ministration of the laws, demand that Cher
okee should he pro video with another Ju
dicial officer.
The “ Savannah Republican” gives
an interesting detail of the proceedings at
the great Ruii Road Festival, held in Ma
con on the 13th instant, in celebration of
the completion of the “ Central Rail Road.”
The feast was good, and the company was
good, not less than 2,500 persons being pres

hy heavy sorrow is the voice of an amiable

Riches may avail much in the hour of afflic

for a time, the bitterness of woe, but the an

a lasting effect on the heart, and communi

which themiud had never htforeexperienced

To Cure Sheep Skins with the Wool On.
—Take one spoonful of alum and two of
saltpetre; pulverize and mix well together,
then sprinkle the powder on the flesh side
ofthe skin, and lay the two flesh sides to
gether, leaving Vie wool outside. Then
fold up the skins as tight as you can and hang
them in a dry place. In two or three days,
as soon as they are dry, take them down
and scrape them with a blunt knife till clean
and supple. This completes the process,
and makes a most excellent saddle covet. —
If when you kill your mutton you treat the
skins ir. this way, you can get more for the
wool and skin sepera’.ely than disposed of
otherwise. Other skins which you desire to
cure with the fur on, may be Heated in the
same way.
Important to Farmers. —Hart Maacey,
Esq., of this village, took a email portion of
the seed corn with which he planted a field,
and soaked in a solution of salt niter, com*
monly called saltpetre, ar.d planted five man
with the seed thus prepared. The five routs
planted with corn prepared with •aityetl'a
yielded more than twenty-five rowa planted
without the preparation ; the five rowa were
untouched hy the worm, while the remain
der of the field suffered severely from their
depredations.
We should judge that not one kctnal sat
urated with saltpetre was touched by the
woint, while almost every hill in the adjoin
ing field suffered severely. No one who
will examine the field can doubt the efficira
cy ofthe preparation. He will beaatoni.li
ed at the striking difference between the
five rows and the remainder ofthe field.
Here is a simple fact which, ifit had been
seasonably known, would have saved thou
sands of dollars to the farmers of this coun
try alone in the article of corn. At allevents,
the experiment should be extensively tes
ted, as the results are deemed certain, while
the expense is comparatively nothing.—

Remedy for Rheumatism. —The following
remedy for rheumatism, eithei chronic or
inffamatory. will fie found very efficacious.
Take one quart of spirits of wine, two oun
ces of castile soap, one ounce of spirits of
hartshorn, one ounce of gum camphor, half
a glass of spirits of turpentine, and mix them
together. The soap and camphor to be cut
in small pieces and dissolved in the liquids.
It can be kept in a bottle or any close ves
sel, for use. The parts affected with rheu
matism to bo rubbed with the mixture and
kept wnint.
Another. —Take a pint of Spirits of tur
pentine, to which add half an ounce of cam
phor; let it stand till the camphor is dis
solved, then rub it on the part affected.—
Flannel should he applied after the part has
been well fometifed with the mixture. Re
peat the application morning and evening.
It is said to he equally available fur burns,
scalds, and bruises.
