The Southern Recorder r*. The Seeders. it lias never been our fortune to meet astrong er display of the arrogance and assumptions of Whigery than is exhibited in the Southern Re corder of the 19th ult., in its attempt to justify the course of those Members of the Legislature who left the Hall, for the purpose of stopping the business of legislation. From the manner in which that paper dis courses upon the subject, one might be led to the conclusion, that those gentlemen represented a particular portion of the people of Georgia, who hive rights and interests totally different from those of the people at largo; and that the rights of those whom they represented have been gross ly outrage 1 and destroyed, by a most unrighteous and unheard of act of injustice, tyranny and op pression. We do not so read the Constitution, nor do we so understand the genius and spirit of our institutions. The people of Georgia, as we understand it, are entitled to a given number of representatives in Congress.—we nowhere find it written, that any particular number of them shall entertain this, or that opinion,—or in other words, that the holding of a particular set of opinions, shall entitle a man to a seat in Con gress. On the contrary, it is left free to all opinions, the people having the right to select those whose opinions shall suit them best. Their rights taken away from them ! One half of the people of Georgia disfranchised for sooth !! Pray Mr. Recorder where did you get this idea ? Are any of them deprived of the right of voting.' or of a representation in Con. gress? —Why,suppose, that instead of the dis trict system, wc elected our Representatives to Congress, by general ticket, as we did formerly, and one party should elect all of them, would you call the other half disfranchised? or would you, if your party happened tobe in the majori ty, by a few huudred votes, appeal not to the liberality, hut to the justice of your friends and insist that they should not trample upon the rights—“the civil rights of the minority and disfranchise one half of t lie people of the State’’ by electing all the members of your own party ? Perhaps you might—hut we have, heretofore, had no intimation, that such have been your ideas of liberality and justice. Two years ago, your friends had a very mea gre majority in the Legislature,—there were too Senators in Congress to elect—the vote in the election for Governor, had just shown that the majority of the people of the Stale were against you. We heard nothing then of your liberality, yon said nothing about the rights of your oppo nents— nothing about the disfranchisement of ene half of the people of Georgia; hut you brought all your influence to bear to have both Senators elected of your own party. But to return to the “rights” of which the Southern Recorder speaks. What arc they ? Wo desire him ;o define them and point to the source whence they are derived. So far as we iiave seen or heard there is nothing in any law passed, or attempted to he passed by the Legisla ture, which deprives any man, either Whig or Democrat of the privilege of voting, or of being a candidate for Congress or any- other office. Docs a man's calling himself a Whig, or in deed., nny otticr ntimo bo mnny ol.oncu to give himself, confer upon him rights, separate and distinct from, and above those enjoyed by other men? If by this process we can increase and enlarge our rights, we had all better adopt it- Has a Whig any more rights than a Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian, Presbyterian or any other set of men who choose to adopt for them selves some particular name ? Wc think not, hut if he has, let us at once settle the matter and provide by the Constitution, that there shall be so many Whigs certain in Congress, and the Legislature, and as many more as they can any how manage to get. This they arc fairly enti tled to upon the Recorder’s principle, as we know no other class, sect, or denomination of people in this country who set up such a claim. “It only remained” says the Recorder, “ for the Whig representatives to decide whether they should sanction by their presence and legalize such an outrage on the civil rights of their con stituents, or to retire and throw the whole re sponsibility of their disfranchisement upon those determined to voteaway their rights.” Just hear him !! ! “ The civil rights of their constituents!!” Who are their constituents ? Are they not the people? Well, what civil rights of the people has been outraged and voted away? Will the Recorder inform us? Ah, hut the Whig rights, that is the thing. We have heard of the rights of the people—but this thing of Whig rights is rather anew tiling in this country. In England, the constitution, if they can be said to have one, recognises the rights of the King, the rights of the aristocracy, and tho rights of the common people—in this country, we have heretofore been all considered com mon people—but we suppose now, we are to have Whig rights and rights of the common people. But did those gentlemen who left the Hall represent nobody but Whigs? If they were there to represent only a particular portion of the people of Georgia, or rather to take charge of tile rights and interests of a particular sect, then it were well that they left, and it were better that they never return. How was it with the member from Jackson and ono from Bibb ? Bid they represent none but Whigs? The Recorder continues, “For this intermis sion of the business of the House, and conso quont useless expenditure of the public treasure, we hold the Democrats alone responsible.” Perhaps you do, but we think that the people of Georgia will hold responsible those by whoso act tiie intermission and the expenditure occur red—and wo shall, according to our humble ability, do our full part, to enable them to sec in its proper light, this monstrous course the Recor der seems so anxious to justify. Anti-Slavery Convention. —The Free Soil c*s propose a Convention to meet at Buffalo *n June next, in which the anti-slavery men of evory State shall be represented, and for the purpose of taking measures in opposition to the Nashville Convention, which will meet at tho *amo time. CP We learn that Gen. Twioos had his nrm recently,, by a fall from his horse in Flori da. 1 he Coast Survey. —The Charleston Mercu ry, speaking of the operations of this Survey, says : “The base line on Edisto Island extends from North to South Edisto Rivers, in South westerly direction, and is about a mile distant from the ocean. Its site was determined bv Assistant Jns. S. Williams, of the Coast Survey, in 1838. Great difficulty was cxpeienced in se lecting it. The requisites were, that it should cross no creek or salt marsh, and that it should strike no building, nor any considerable body of wood, and that it should be so situated, that a third point might be found, nearly equi-distant from each of them. Those acquainted with the topography of the sea islands, will be surprised that a line could be found upon any of them, six miles and two-thirds long, fulfilling the above conditions.” A CONTROVERSY TO BE SETTLED —lt IS Well known, says the New York Express, that an empty bottle hermetically scaled, when lowered to a groat depth at sea, will come up full of wa ter. The why and the wherefore of this result has long been a matter of controversy among scientific men. A gentleman who entertains an opinion that a bottle can be mado that cannot be filled with water, has taken some pains to estab lish his position, by having two bottles of the form of globes, made of the thickness of three quarters of an inch, which are without boles in any part. The bottles are to be intrusted to the care of Cap*. E. E. Morgan, who sails on the Bth of February, in the packet ship “Southamp. ton” for London, —one is plain, and the other ground with the name on it of “ Southampton.” The subject is one that lias occupied the spec ulation of so many, that this trial has occasion ed a good deal of remark. The bottles are made with the belief that formor experiments of the kind will be controveited by this trial. The result will be highly important and interesting. This experiment has been fully tested already. See a letter, page 269, vol. 4, Scientific Ameri can. A glass tube hermetically sealed was sunk 89 fathoms on board the ship Tarolinta bound for California. It came up without the least particle of salt water in it. Surveys Routes between the Mississippi Val ley and the Pacific. —Among the papors laid be fore Congress recently by the President, wc find a letter from Mr. Crawford, Secretary of War, dated July 11, 1849, to Col. Abf.rt, of the Topographical Engineer Corps, instructing him relative to tlie appropriation ofSSO,COO for sur veys of the best course for a wagon road or railway to the Pacific. Somewhere on the Mississippi, between St. Louis and Natchez, is suggested as being a fit starting point, and “ it iias occurred to the War Deparment that a practicable route would be found, commencing at or near Vicksburg, and running a westerly course—and, after crossing the Red Itiver, fol lowing on the plains, as nearly as the nature of the country will admit, the south or right bank of the river up to its sources, through the pass at Mount Guadalupe; thenco following the valley of the Puerco in a southerly direction, and crossing that river. The Rio Grande can be reached at or near El Paso, through a pass in the Uuaditlupe Mountains," or •• through passes North or South of Mount de Cuballos.” Ano ther route is suggested, beginning the survey op posite Memphis or Cairo,or at St. Louis, procee ding towards the valley of the Arkansas River, tltonce up to the confluence of the Canadian Riv ers, and to the Rio Grande. The surveys west of the Rio Gande are to be confined to a space between that valley and the Sierra de los Mimbros, with a view of finding a pass through it. Mr. Crawford is ofopinion that the survey in progress from Fort Hall to the Salt Lake, which is finally to be complcted from St. Joseph Spring to Santa Fe,“vvill he an important auxiliary in dccidingon the route to California, whether by the valley of the Gila or the one just adverted to. The Wheat Crop. —The Boonsboro, (Md.) Odd Fellow, of the 2d inst. says ; “Durngtho prat few weeks we have heard a number of farmers say that the present appeara nce of the wheat crop is the must encouraging for this season of the year that they have ever seen,and consequently we presume that it re ceived no injury form the fly last fall.** O’ Andrew Low, Esq., has been elected a Director in the Central Rail Road Bank in place of Solomon Cohen, Esq., appointed Cashier. Prussia the Next Scene of Revolution The Now York Commercial has a very interest ing letter from its sagacious and wellinformed correspondent at Berlin, in regard to which it says : “If wo are not much deceived ,Prussia will be the theatre of the next revolutionary move ment in Europo ; and, when it comes, it will scarcely be less Ilian an earthquake. The du plicity and utter faithlessness of the King are rapidly and surely alienating from him and his government the hearts of the people, supplan ting tho ancient German loyalty and affection with a spirit of mingled exasperation and dis gust. A recent measure, adopted and promulgated by Fredrick William since tho commencement of the year, lias given deep alarm and displeas ure to all hut the partisans of the re-action ; and lias thrown the Chambers, especially the Second, which is the popular body, into a position of direct antagonism. Our correspondent gives a full and perfectly clear exposition of the whole matter, and its probable consequences.” The Winter in Europe. —While we have been enjoying a remarkable mild winter on this side of the Atlantic, in Europe, both at the North and South, the season appears to have been one of unusual severity. A letter from Florence, of Jan. sth rays : —For the last forty years, the cold lias not been felt so severely hero as it is now. All the hills near the city are covered with snow, and the thermometer has been as low as 12 degrees of Reaumer, (10 2-5 degrees of Fahrenheit.)” Letters from the frontier of Italy state that the Convent of St. Bernard is entirely blocked up with snow; the monks have been obliged to cut a subterranean passage, in order to extricate thomscli e*. Brick Machine. —The Tallahassee Sentinel ofthe 26th ult. states that Mr. E. B. Ci.akk, of that place, has invented and applied to patent a machine for pressing bricks from the clay, in its natural state, which, for the economy, simplici ty and efficiency of the thing, is well worthy of attention. The pressure is applied by two up right elbow levers, alternately straightened by a crank attached to a perpendicular shaft, turned with all ease by a single horse. The lower arm of these levers plays in a cast iron box, the bot tom of which by an ingenious and simple con trivance is forced tip as the arm is raised, and delivers the pressed brick to the hand of the ten der. All the labor necessary is to push in the clay, take away the brick, and now and then oil the press. The machine, with the labor of one man to tend it, one to dig, one to wheel the clay, and one to wheel away the bricks, turns out 3,000 per day. About five tons pressure is ap plied to the brick, and it comes out exceedingly compact. He has pressed some 50,000, and they are a good deal harder unburnt, than most of our Florida “slop bricks” are when they come from the kiln. One horse can drive two of these ma chines with ease, for the pressure is brought only upon one brick at a time, and Mr. Clarke thinks that S3OO will he a fair price for constructing and putting up one of these processes. The com mon, contrivance for bund brick costs nearly as much, and requires greater horse power. In these easy times, when people are or per haps should be thinking of building substantial houses, our friends will, if wc mistake not, find in this simple machine a valuable desideratum. Patent Rifle. —The, New York Post says : A modest Prussian mechanic, by the name of Charles Hartung, now in this city, has invented anew style of rifle, known by the name ofLunt Nadei, (darting needle,) which is attracting much attention. It is impossible to present a scientific description of it without engravings, but wo can give our readers a general notion of its peculiarities. In the first place, it loads at the breech. In thesccond place, it is discharg ed by a “darting needle/’ which pierces the bottom of the cartridge and ignites the powder by friction. This is done inside, without any priming, and as well in wet as in dry weather. Behind thecartridgc is an air chamber, in which expanded air is used in propelling the ball. The breech-pin slides in and out, and all together operates with curious simplicity. It is said to carry a ball eight hundred yards effectively. The Scientific American states that the guns were used by tho Prussians in their late war with Denmark, with terrible effect, and that all the Prussian light cavalry are to be equipped with them. A competent board of commis. sioners will soon determine whether the inven tion has all the merit which its simplicity and ingenuity give promise of. Telegraph to Knoxville. — Mr. Solis, of the firm of Wm. F. Kent & Cos., of Zanesville, Ohio, is now in Knoxville fur the purpose of endeavoring to secure a sufficiency of stock to construct a line of telegraph from Knoxville to Chattanooga, there to intersect a line to he put up from Atlanta, Ga., to Huntsville, Ala. A line us toicgrnpli is now in operation between Louisville,Ky., and Tuscutnbia, Ala., which is to be extended to Huntsville. The proposed line to Chattanooga would, therefore, place us in instant communication with every portion of the country. This to business men is a great and important advantage, and vve trust our citizens will give the subject that consideration it de serves. A telegraph would greatly add to the business and importance of tho place, and we think tho stock in such an enterprise would be profitable. Telegraph lines in sparsely and newly settled portions of the west, yield hand some dividends to the stockholders, and we can not see why a line may not be made equally profitable here, with our steady increasing bu siness, while it would be such an advantage to the business men of the commercial metropolis of East Tennessee as should induce them to subscribe liberally to its stock. Success to the effort. ILF The editor of the New Haven Registe lias seen a sample of pure linen damask woven in that city, by Mr. Matthew O'Connell, for merly of Dublin, and thinks it the first cve r made in this country. Steam Boiler Explosions. —ln the Massa chusetts Legislature, a motion has been made, that tho Judiciary Committee consider the ex pediency of providing that stationary steam en gines used for driving machinery, be placed in buildings separate from that in which the people connected with such establishments are employ ed. Also, whether any other legislation is ne cessary for the greater security of human life from the explosion of steam boilers. From California. —The steamship Alabama has arrived from Chagrcs with 65 passengers, and $450,000 in gold dust. She brings San Francisco dates to the 14th of January. Sacramento City had been inundated by an overflow of the River, which lias swept off large numbers of cattlo and an immense amount of other property. Great suffering wastheconse quence,and the loss is estimated at millionsof dollars. At the mines near Stockton, the Chilians were attacked by the Americans, and several of them killed, and the rest taken prisoners, but they were soon released. Great excitement prevailed,and it was supposed the Chilians would be expelled from the country. Mrs. Fremont had recovered, and with her hus band was about to depart for the United States. (LT Women are the brightest ornaments of our life. In their society we find our best solace; and all the cares and toils of our worldly life arc forgotten. The good wife and mother,seated in the centre of her family, is the best jewel in the crown of society. He who does not honor such a woman has no honor in himself. Pacific Railroad. —The amount subscribed at St. Louis to the Pacific Railroad, was exten ded to $194,000 on the 4th ult. The Republi can of that city states that nearly tlie whole amount required to put the road in operation, has been taken. Railroads. — 3 be Columbus Enquirer of the ■'th inst., in alluding to the Railroads now being built, in that section says : “It is our duty as it is our pleasure to state that Maj. Howard, the enterprising and untiring President of the Mus cogee Railroad Company has completed a coni tract with Mr. Gray, by which the cars are to be moving on about thirty miles of the Road,on or by the first of January next, and on the whole 1 of the Rond to Fort Valley, by tho first of No vember, thereafter. Thus it will be seen that the Road connecting us directly with the Atlan •ic will not only be built, but that it will be finished by a time to which the mental vision of, a very short-sighted man can look with hope and certainty. Now comes the other great link that is to con- 1 nect us back to Mobile. This work lias aroused j the feelings and excited the interest, as we have ! more than once remarked, of the entire people along its whole contemplated route. Every man has taken hold, and the population with means and good will, have pledged their efforts, and joined their labor and capital to carry it through. We are informed that stock suffici-. ent has been taken to grade and build the entire i superstructure from Girard to Mobile, without | the promised assistance from New Oi leans, and strong capitalists in that city have given assur ances that stock enough will be taken thereto lay down and furnish the cars. A me morial from the Legislature of Alabama has been forwarded to Washington, asking for a portion of the public lands along the route to aid in the construction of the work.” Crawford’s Statue.— The Boston Journal states that the model offered by Mr. Crawford for the Virginia Monument to Washington is as original in conception ns it is graceful and beau tiful in execution. The pediment or base of the whole is in the form of a star, each ray of which is adorned by a statue. One ofthese is an ideal impersonation of the State of Virginia, who, with a torch in her hand, and a broken crown at her feet, appears a9 the champion of freedom and of progress. The other statues will represent some of the most distinguished men of Virginia, contemporaneous with tho great chief himself. From the centre rises an oblong pedestal, sur mounted by an equestrian statue of Washington, which is to be of bronze. Mr. Crawford lias not modelled the Father of bis Country oitlieriu the voluminous cloak which he never wore, or in that classic but uncomfortable costume ofi:ature> in whic it is still less probable that lie ever ex hibited himself to the public gaze. He appears jo us as be naturally would, dressed in iiisown regimentals, with the sword and cocked hat his torically appropriate to him. The statues in the model arc necessarily of every small dimensions, but this does not deprive them of a certain grace ful and grand effect—one of them especially, a figure draped in a military mantle, the brows shaded by a helmet, has in it a world of tender and touching expression. These statues are to be modelled ofa size considernhley beyond that of life. They require and deserve to be seen in colossal propotions. And when this noble germ ofthe sculptor’s thought shall have expan ded like a flower to its gigantic fruition—when bronze and marble shall liavo responded as wil ling instruments to bis creative touch, then we believe that Virginia may challenge the whole domain of modern art to produce a monument which shall surpass this in appropriateness, in beauty, and in grandeur. Cure for Felon or Whitlow. —Take the yolk of one egg, an equal quantity of strained honey; ono table spoonful of spirits of turpen tine, fresh drawn, one tea spoonful of spirits of camphor,mix well and thickened with flour to the consistence of a thin paste, spread it upon the sore thinly and cold. The ahove is from the Ohio Cultivator. It may be a most excellent receipt. The felon is an exceedingly painful thing. The plan to cure it practised by doctors is to put a lancet into it. Remedy for Deafness. —lf glycerine is in troduced into the ear by small piece of cotton, it will in all likelihood cure any case of deafness, which is caused by the gum in the ear becoming hard; for it possesses the peculiar property of attracting moisture from tho atmosphere.
