"W hy Lizzy, dear,” exclaimed Uncle Thomas, to his pretty neice, Miss Walton, as she stepped upon the pavement from her mo hers dwelling, one morning in mid winter. "\uu are not going in this trim ]” "Li what trim,” said Lizzy, glancing first at her gloves, then upon her dress, and then placing Irer hand upon her neck and then upon her bosom to Teel if all was right there. “Is anything wrong with my dress, L ncle ?” "Just look at yi*ur feet.” “At my feet!” -And Lizzy’s eyes fell ito the grourid. *T don’t see anything the matter with them.’' * Why, child, you have nothing on your feel but paper soled French lasting boots." “They have thick soles. Uncle ” "Thick ! If you call them thick, you will have to find anew term fa thinness. Go right back and put oti your leather boots." “Leather boots!” Lizzy’s voice and countenance showed an undisguised a inazetncut. “Yes, leather boots. You certainly would’nt think ofigoitig out on a day like this without having your feet well protect ed with leather boots." “Leather boots ! Why, Uncle Thom as !” And ilit* musical laugh of Miss Wal ton echoed on the air. “Who ever heard | ofsuch a thing 1" Uncle Thomas glanced involuntarily 1 down at his own thick, double soled, call } ek'n understandings. “Boots like them !” exclaimed the mer ry girl, laughing again. “But come along my good uncle,” she j added, more seriously, drawing hefatm with his, and attempting to move away.— “W e’ll have all the neighborhood staring at us. You can’t ho in earnest, I’m sure, about my wearing clumsy leather hoots. Nancy, the Irish, cook, has a pair; but “And pray, Lizzy,” returned the old gentleman, as lie yielded to the impulse given him by his neice, and moved down the street beside her—“ate you so much heartier than Nancy—so much stouter and stronger, that you can hear exposure to dump and even wet pavements in thin shoes, while she will not venture out un less with leet well protected by leather boos." “My shoes are not tliio. Uncle,” persis ted Lizzy; “They have thick soles." “Not thin! Thick soles ! Look at mine.” Lizzy laughed ah ud as she glanced and >Avti at her uncle's heavy hoots, at the thought of having her delecate feet en cased in leather. "Look at mine !" repeated Uncle Thom as. “And am 1 so much more delecate than you are ?” But Miss Walton replied to all this seri ous remonstrance of her uncle, who was on a visit from a neighboring town, with laughing evasion. A week of very severe weather had fil led I lie gutters and blocked the crossings with ice. To this had succeeded rain, but not of long enough continuance to free die streets from their icy encumbrance.— A clear, warm day for the season followed; and it was on tins day that Miss Walton and her uncle went out for the purpose of calling on a friend or two, and then visit ing the Art Union Gallery. Uncle Thomas Walton was the brother ( f Lizzy’s father. The latter died some few years before, of pulmonary consump tion. Lizzy, both in appearance and bodi ly constitution, resembled her father. She was now in her nineteenth year, her veins full of young life, and her spirits as buoy ant as the opening spring. It was just four years since the lust visit of Uncle Thomas to the ci y—four years since he looked up on the fair face of Ids beautiful neice.— Greatly had she changed in that time.— When last lie kissed her blushing cheek, she was a half-grown school girl now she burst upon him a lovely and accomplished young woman. But Uncle Thomas did not fail to ob serve in his neice certain signs that lie un deistood too well as indications of a frail and susceptible cousti ution. Two lovely sisters, who had grown up by his side, their charms expanding like summer’s sweetest flowers, had, ail at once, drooped, faded, withered and died. Long years, had they been at rest ; but memory vvos still green in his heart. When he looked upon the pure face of his niece, it seemed to Uncle Thomas as if a l«ng lost sister was restored to him in the freshness of beauty of her young and happy life, ere the breath of the destroyer was upon her. No wonder that he felt concern when he thought of the past. No wonder that hy made leiooiisi i aiicu against her exposure, in thin shoes, to cold and damp pavements. But Lizzy had no fear. She understood not how fatal a predisposition lurked in her bosom. The calls were made; the Art-Union gallery visited, and then Uncle Thomas and his noice returned home. But, the enjoyment of the former had only been partial; for he could think of little else, and see little else beside Lizzy’s thin shoes and the damp pavements. The difficulty of crossing the streets, without stepping into water, was very great ; and, in spite of every precaution, Lizzy's feet dipped several times into lit tie pools of ice-water, that instantly pene trated the light materials of which her shoes were made. In consequence, she had a slight hoarseness by the time she reached home, and Uncle Thomas noticed that the col*>r on her checks was very much heightened. ‘ Now 70 and rbnnj'p vour shop;,- ;m,t ; stockings, immediately,” said he, as soon ns they euteied the House. “Your feet must bie thoroughly satuiated.” "Oh, no, indeed they are not.” replied Lizzy. “At the most they are only a lit tle damp.” "A little damp !" said the old gontle ! man, seriously. “The grass waves over many a fair young girl, who, but for damp feet, would now be a source of joy to her friends.” “\V hy, Uncle, how strangely you talk !” exclaimed Lizzy, becoming a little serious in turn. Just then Mrs. W'ulton came in. “D» sister,” said the old gentleman, “see tnat this thoughtless girl of yours changes her wet stockings and shoes im mediately. She smiles at my concern.” "Why, Lizzy, dear.” interposed Mrs. W alton, “how can you be so imprudent 1 Go and put on your dty stockings at once.” Lizzy obeyed, and she left the room, her unde said— “ How can you permit that girl to go up on the street, in mid-Aviuter, with shoes al most as thin as paper.” “Her shoes have thick soles,” replied Mrs. Walton. “You certainly don’t think that I would let her wear thin shoes on a day like this.” Uncle Thomas was confounded. Thick shoes! French lasting, and soles of the thickness of half a dollar ! “She ought to have leather boots, sis ter,” said the old gentleman, earnestly "Smut leather boots. Nothing less can be called a protection for the Teel in damp, wintry weather.” “Leather boots !” Mrs. Walton seemed little less surprised | than her daughter had been at the same suggestion. “It is a damp, cold day," said Uncle Thomas. “True, but Lizzy was warmly clad. 1 am very particular on this point, knowing the delicacy of her constitution. She nev er goes out in winter time without her furs.” ~ “Furs for the neck and hands, and last ing shoes and thin cotton stockings for the feet !” “ Thick-soled boo s," said Mrs. Walton, quickly. “ There are thick soled boots” And the old gentleman thrust out both of bis feet, well clad in heavy calf skin. M rs. Walton could not keep from hi**!., tug. as ihe unage of her daughter’s feet, thus encased, presented itself to her mind. ‘Perhaps,’ said Uncle Thomas, just a little captiously ; ‘Lizzy has a stronger constitution than 1 have, and can bear n -great deal more. For my part, Hiad al most as leiftakea small dose or poison as go out, on a day like this, with nothing on my feet but thin cotton stockings and last ing shoes.’ ‘Boots,’ interposed Mis. Walton. ‘I call them boots,’ said the old gentle man glancing and >wn again at bis stout, double soled calfskins. But, it was to no avail that Uncle Th<» mas entered bis protest against thin shoes, when, in the estimation of the city ladies, thev were ‘thick.’ And so, in due time, lie saw his error and gave up the argu ment. W lien Lizzy came down from her room, her color was still high—much lusher than usual, and her voice, as she spoke, was a very little veiled. But she was in hue spirits, and talked away mer rily. Uncle Thomas did not, however, fail tn observe that every little w hile she cleared her throat with a low /t h em; and he knew thin this was occasioned by an increased secretion of mucous by the lin ing membrane ol the throat, consequent upon slight inflamation. The cause, he attributed to thin shoes and wet feei; and he was not far wrong. The warm boa and rnufT were not sufficient safeguards for the throat, when the feet wete exposed to cold and wet. That evening, at tea time, Mr. Walton observed that Lizzy eat scarcely any thing, and, that her face was a Title pale. He noted an expression that indicated either mental or bodily suffering—not severe, but enough to make itself visible. " Are yon not well I” he asked. “Oh yes. very well,” was the quick reply. “ You are fatigued, then 1” "A little.’’ "Go early to bed. A night's sleep will restore all.” Mr. Y\ alton said this, rather because he hoped than believed that it would be so. “O yes. A night's rest is all I want,” replied Lizzy. But she erred in this. “ Whefe is Lizzy ?” asked Mr. Walton, on meeting his sister-in law, at the break last table on the next morning. The face of the latter worn a sober expression. “ Not very well, 1 am sorry to say,” was the answer. “ What ails her ?” *' She has taken a bad cold; I hardly know how, perhaps from getting her feet wet yesterday; and is so hoarso this morn ing that she can scai eery speak above a whisper.” “ I feared as much,” was the old gentle man’s reply. “ Have you sent fur your doctor 1” “ Not yet.” “ Then do so immediately. A constitu tion like her's will not bear the shock of a bad cold, unless it is met instantly hy ap propriate remedies.” In due time the family physician came He looked serious when lie saw the con dition nfhrs patient. ** To what are you indebted for this?” he asked. ”To thin times," was the prompt ieply o. the Uncle, who was present. " I have warned you against this more than once," said the doctor, in a tone of gentle reproof. “ Oh no; brother is mistaken,” spoke up Mrs. Walton, “."she wore thick-so.'ed shoes. But the streets, as you know, were very wet yesterday, and it was impossi ble to keep the feet ilry.” “Ifshe had worn good, stout, sensible leather boots, as she ought to have done, the water would never have touched her feet,” said Mr. Walton. oit had on your gums'?”-remarked the physican, turning to Lizzy. “■! hey ate so clumsy and unsightly—l never like to wear them,” answered the patient, in a husky whisper, and then she coughed hoarsely. 1 he doctor made no reply to this, but looked more serious. Medicine was prescribed and taken; arid, for two weeks, the physician was in daily attendance. The inflammation first attacked Lizzy’s throat—descended and lingered along the bronchial tubes, and finally fixed itself upon her lungs. From this dangerous place it was not dislodged, as an acute disease, until certain constitu tional predispositions had been aroused into activity. In fact, the latent seeds of that fatal disease,-known as tubercular con sumption, were, at this lime, vivified. Dormant they might have lain for years; perhaps through 1 ito, if all exciting causes had been shunned. Alas! the principle of vitality was now awakened. Slowly, very slowly, did strength return to the body of Miss Walton. Not until the Spring opened, was she permitted to go forth into the open air. Then her pale cheek, and slow, feeble steps, showed too plainly the fearful shock her system had received. A week or two after his remonstrance with his neice about her thin shoes, Mr. W alton returned home. Several lettets received by him during the winter advised him t>f the slate of Lizzy's health. In the spning her mother wrote to him. ‘Lizzy is much better. The warm wea 'her, 1 trust, will completely restore her.’ But the o'd gentleman knew better.— He had been a rleetily interested party in a case like her’s before. He knew that summer, witlfits warm and fragrant airs, would not briiijFliack 'lie bloom to her.— In July came an ither epistle. Ihe hot weather is so debilitating f>r Lizzy, that I am about taking to the sea shore.’ Uncle Thomas sighed as he rend this, permitted the letter to drop before bis eyes, and sat for some time gazing upon vacancy. Far back bis thoughts bad wandered, and, before the eyes of bis mind was the frail, fading form of a beloved sister, who had, years before left her place and her mission upon the earth, and pass ed up higher. ‘The doctoi says that I must go South "ith Lizzy,’ wrote Mrs Walton earlv in December, 'and spend the winter. We leave tor Charleston next Tuesday, and may pass over to Havana.' Uncle 1 homas sighed as before, and then became lost in a sad reverie. He had been to Havana with both of his sis ters. ] lie warm South had been of use to them. It prolouged, but did not save their lives. And so the month passed on—the sea son came and went—hut health, alas ! returned not to the veins of the loiely gill. It was an autumn day, nearly two years after that fatal cold, taken in consequence of wearing thin shoes, that Mr. Walton received a lettter sealed with 3 black seal. ‘As I feared,’ he murmured, in a low, sad voice, gazing half abstractly upon the missive. He knew too well its contents. 'Dear child ! I saw this from tho begin ning.’ And the old man’s eyes became dim with moisture. He had nut erred in his conjecture.— Lizzy Walton was dead. The Cincinnati Times says, that lit looking over a file of the Western Spy and Hamilton Gazatte, published in Cin cinnati in ISO 2, they found a letter copied from a Philadelphia paper, in which is stated that Gen. Lee, of the American Ar my. had privately declared himself the au thor of the Junius Letters; and the writer of the communication, on comparing the manuscript letters by Gen. Lee, with those of Junius, was of opinion that the similarity of style was sufficient to estab lish tho General’s claim to the long dis puted authorship. Mount Vernon, the residence of Genera!

Imtortaat Movement.— Tha City Council met on Thursday evening last, and paised Reio : lotions authorizing the connexion of the Rail Roads in this city, in accordance with a petition 1 of a majority of the voters of Macon, substantially upon the following basis, viz : that the said Kail Roads pay to the City of Macon $5,000 annually and the rale* of freights between Griflin and Oglethorpe and Savannah, shall always be at least onefifth more, than between Macon and van nali—the property of the Companies to be subject to common taxation—and no toll to be charged on the Railroad Bridge across the River other than for ordinary Rcilroad purposes. The proposition will be immediately presented to the Railroad Companies, and if agreed to the bargain will be consummated forthwith. The Georgia Confkkkkck.—The List of Appointments of the Preachers of this body held at Savannah last week, will be found in another column. The next Conference will be at Griffin in January next. Counterfeit Coir.- We saw yesterday a counterfeit dime bearing date 1849. The letters on one side were distinct, and on the reverse the stars and figures were very much defaced. I he piece is lighter and smaller than the genu ine andean be easily detected by any person. It is stated that counterfeit eagles, half eagles and quarters, ore in circulation, which can only be detected by weight. The die isquite perfect but the impression is not quite so sharp nnd de cided us the genuine coin, and the counterfeit pieces have a dull sound in ringing, and ure composed of silver overlaid with gold. The half eagles, which arc, perhaps, the most numerous, bear various dates, such aa 1844, 1845 and 1847. Os the quarter eagle, only one date, 1843, and hearing t lie O. mark, has as yet been detected, but doubtless there are others in circulation. The value of the halfeaglos assayed at the Mint in Philadelphia, where they were pass, and unde tected, was from $3 io $3 40, and the quarter do. $1 25. Df.cidedi.v Rich ! —The case of the slave J esnv, said to have been delivered up under the Fugitive Law of 1850, over which Southern Submission papers crowed so much recently, turns out to boa case that happened forty years ago ! She was the property of Peter V. (Jev scliso, of Schenectady, New York, and was purchased from her owner for SIOO. But the Sub. organs have not heard of this fact, yet— when they do, they will mention it, perhaps ! Doctors will Disagree. —The Washington inion., in an article upon the subject of the National Union Convention, —advising the a bandonment of this magnificent project—says: “In the present exciting nnd cri ical condition of our public affairs, it is unjust and ungenerous to faithful and well-tried public servants to throw suspicion around their patriotic efforts to save the Union and preserve the integrity of the Re public.” Yet the Unions friend, Mr. Clat, savs the country is free from agitation, and restored to peace and safety ! Ci iite a difference between an “exciting and critical condition of public affairs," and “public quietude and freedom from agitation !" Odt at Last—The Boston t hronotips lies recently issued some twenty thousand copies of that paper, which have been sent to all the edi tors and lawyers in the country, whose location was known, in which an address appears having for its object a neto interpretation of llie Consti tution, so as to permit Congress to abolish slave, ry in the Sta es Wc have long since believed that this was a primary object of the Free Soilers i and which in a few years hence they will ac complish through an amendment of the Consti tution prohibiting slavery—and then the Union loving South will be called on to “acquiesce in the peace measure." Conquests of the South.—Wo are told hy the “pacificators ' that the North will gee justice done to the South, and will undoubtedly enforce the fugitive Slave law. We have had, as yet, no intimation of the fact that Southern men have in reality, trer recovered their property under its operation. True, some three or four negroes have been delivered up from the thous ands of fugitives there, but not until Northern lawyers and courts had received the full amount of their value, and sometimes more, in the shape of fees, &c. The Southern Press says : “We learn from unquestionable authority, that in the much talked of Harrisburg case, the owner was compelled to sell the slates to pay expenses, and was left out of pocket af.er that operation.” Yet this is a “glorious Union” and the “Com. promise" the ne plus ultra of the age ! Vaiui or Property in Hancock County.— On the Ist inst., acre* of old land, belong ing to the estate of John Rouser, in Hancock county, about seven miles from the village of Sparta, ware sold at auction for $3,050. Sir John Sikes was the purchaser. At the same sale, likely nagro girls of 16 to 17 years of age broght $llOO each. Cityllond*. —The City of Savannah ha* just sold $30,000 of in Central Rail-Rosd *tock »t par and interest. With the proceeds tho same amount ofCity bonds has been redeemed. These bonds notv command a premium of five per cent. Henry Long. — The fugitive from Virginia in whine behalf such vigorous efforts were made in New York, ha* been returned to his master. Water Gas. — Pure gas, it is said, has beon made from water, by someone in Pari*. The flame is at first blue, but by placing a hoop of plalina above the burner, a beautiful white light i* produced, wliieli does not flicker nor smoke. Paine, the inventor of the new light in this country, ha* received letter* patent from Great Britain The New Tariff. Gradually and cautiously the sagacious poli,j. cians of the old Whig, now the Constitutional Union Party, are beginning to show their hands, and to make manifest the true object of their patriotic ardor. “Union” is a great thing with them, doubtless—particularly if it can forca a majority poll al the ballot-box. It matters not where these votes come from, nor who the voters ,re— whither they be Northern Abolitionists or hot-beaded Southern “fire-eaters,” is all one—a vote is a vote, and enough of them will elect.— And when once a Federal head is in the chair at Washington, they have gotten a modern Atlae with the political world upon his shoulders, and the ability to cast it where he pleasea. But wc think they are a little too faet this time. They have made too many presumptions upon the will of the people in bye-gone days to manage their concerns in such a summary way. It sometimes proves true, that a man, in endea voring to do too much, accomplishes nothing go it will be with the pseudo-Constitutional Unionists, we believe, unless the people of Georgia are more inclined to the doctrines of Federalism than we suppose. Scarce hnd the new party passed one moon of its infantile ex istence, before it was saddled with the parti colored Coat of II igh Protection by its god. father 11 v. art Clat- The great “compromiser* thought that inasmuch as the people oftheSouth had given some premonitions of their gullibility, he would just then furnish a cue for subordin ate performers upon the "light fantastic toe" o f humbuggery, and call it an effort to preven. “fraud and abuse. There has been no response to this pioneering blow as yet among the wire workers of the “harmonious" Unionists, but the notification has served the purpose. Heart Ci-av is still nn aspirant for the Presidency, and, with his love for “the Union" at the South, and of High Protection measures nt tile North, he is perhaps quite confident of success. Why is Pennsylvania so essentially “Ameri can" as tn desire the exclusion of foreign pro ducts ? Because her coal manufacturers feel the competition of the British minerals, and wish to have the monopoly of the whole market But why cannot Pennsylvania afford to sell her coal and iron cheaper than that which must be im ported three or four thousand miles ? Probably the Protectionist w ill answer, because the pri( # of labor is not so high in England as America. And pray, wliar is the price of labor in America? A bare support. And how much in England > A support, nothing more. Are provisions then higher in this country, than in Great Britain ? They are not. Who pays, then, according to tais estimate, most for the producing means ? Certainly the English miner. And does his freight to this country, transportation from the mines to the seaports ofEnglai.d, etc , cost him nothing? Most assuredly not. How then can the foreigner afford to undersell the native miner, so as to be a dangerous competitor ? Ah! tha, is the question. The foreigner is willing to sell his produce at a smaller profit than the Ameri can, nnd consequently, the Protectionists wish him excluded. These lords of ihc mine nnd of the loom persuade their unskilful workmen that without 30 or 40 per centum realized clear upon their investments they will he bankrupt, and of course the employed must he ground to the very lowest possible point above starvation, in order to insure them a li»ing at all, while the capital ist is doubling his outlay every three or four years. Southern farmers must toil from year t<* year to furnish ths consumers of his cotton with a profit unequalled by any other ordinary invest ment, and then be forced to vote them nn exclu •ivo use of Southern patronage, with the privi lege of reduced prices fur Southern cotton, nnd increased prices for Northern manufactures. And this is what Mr. Ci.at call* the preven. lion of “frauds and abuses.” It i* not fair tha* Southern planter* should be permitted tochoose markets, and to have an alternative in case ofa combination of money against labor—but they must be compelled to sell and buy at the price* fixed by the Northern consumer, and the North ern producer. But, say the Protectionists, er" tablish high import duties and you.g«t high pri ces for your cotton, and our goods at low The reverie is thn fact. A monopoly in the sale and purchase of any article never did give the dependent party a voice in fixing the prices. If Southern men want the North to assume guardianship over them, they may tacitly con. sent to these merciless drafts upon their purses, but if they are disposed to do their own thinkirg they will treat this attempt at legal robbery with due indignation and contempt. 1 lie property of the South may be stolen from its owners ; judges from tho bench, statesmen from the forum, and ministers from the pulpit, may justify every mean of practical nullifica tion of the laws of the land, to thwart the own ers in arresting and procuring their constitution a! rights, without at all exciting the placid feel ings of Mr. Clay, or calling down a word of. condemnation or warning from Ilia lips upon the perpetrators of these deeds ; but when he thinks the California opiate has sufficiency lulled the nerves of the lethargic Southerners, lie has an Argus eye and a Stentorian »oico for the cheated and wronged capitalists of the North! It is only, however, to prevent“fraud and abuse!'* State Legislatures may openly nullify the expli cit acts ofCongress ; the people may “abure” the Constitutional rights of Southern men, just as much as they please, and Mr. Clay is ailent, for lie hopes to gull tho South, and buy the North into his support,—but when there is *n opportunity to gain votes beyond Mason & Di *, on's line, he is prepared to take advantage of it. Now, be it remembered, this is the veritable Henry Clay, of 1844 memory, and the “Com promiser'' of 1850—the “embodiment" of prin ciples for tho “ Constitutional Union Party ! This is a part of the rtatform on which South ern Democrats are earnestly besoeched to rally • Protection to Northern manufacturers and degra~ dation to Southern mechanics and farmer* ! ! Well ! truly we hare arrived at a lamentable epoch in popular wisdom, if this game of sur render and insult to common sense is suffered to pass without the effective dentMtciahsn oftli* working ntrrt of the South
