THE GEORGIA CITIZEN, Extra: MACON, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 29, 1851. To Correspondents. Letter No. 7, from New York and a poetical conlri uution from the same hand, received and shall have piace in our regular issue of next week. Communication from Sumter county on file for insertion. T. J. B. of Columbus has our thanks for the very enteel manner in which he withdraws his name from our list. Though sorry to part with him we are consoled by the fact that his substitute will answer, in one sense, at least, to fill his niche on our List Book. To the trio who desire to “withdraw from our list of subscribers, but not from our list of friends,” we would say, that we should much grieve if the latter were the legitimate consequence of the former. It is not thus that we consider the mere act of discontinuing our Journal, when it suits the convenience or pleasure of any of our old friends so to do. Os their own free will and accord they have journeyed, as they say, pleasantly, with us. for years past, and with the same freedom of will do they part company with us. We certainly have no exceptions to take to this course, though we would that it were otherwise. By Telegraph. Baltimore, March 27,7 P. M. Steamer Canada arrived, with Liverpool dates to the 15th. Better grades of Cotton have declined an eighth. Lower grades a quarter. Sales of the week 31,000 bales. We are indebted to a commercial friend for a copy of this dispatch, received here Thursday eve ning at 7 o’clock. OUT NCXt Volume. —-Our readers are referred to the Prospectus, in another column, of the 2d Volume of the Citizen, for information as to the unusual attrac tions we mean to offer to subscribers and customers, during the ensuing year. Now is the opportunity giv en to “el a good Southern Family Journal at a low’ price. We mean to deserve the liberal encouragement which is flowing in upon us, from every quarter, at the rate of ten new subscribers to every one that has stopped his subscription. This tide in our affairs we shail take at the /food and with all humility and resig nation try to hear ourselves becomingly under the golden showers of fortune which, it is said, will fall upon those who boldly take the venture. City Post Office. We find the following Notice in the last Messenger k Journal: POST OFFICE. Macon, March 25th, 1851. —The Eastern Mail will be delivered after Ist of April, at 6 o’clock, P. M. Z. T. CONNER, P. M. This is r. reform which was imperatively demanded by the public interests, and we hope will be followed up by keeping the country mads open to the latest pos sible hour, before departure. Professor Monk’s New Map of Nortli America. We have been favored with an inspection of this new and splendid work, and without hesitation we fully endorse the high applause it has every where received from our cotemporaries. Its peculiarity consists in pre senting a complete view of the entire settled por tion of this continent and embracing all recent Sur veys, all new Boundaries , Routes, $-c. In its commendation we subjoin the following flatter ing testimonials it has elsewhere received. The Pal metto State Banner says : “It far surpasses both in ex ecution and ability, any Map we have hitherto seen either in thiscountiy or in Europe. It is, we believe, the first attempt South of Mason and Dixon’s line, at getting up any thing of a similar character ; and apart from its great intrinsic merit, on this account especially deserves patronage. In fact, in our opinion, it requires only to be seen to be purchased by every mercantile and professional gentleman in the community.” The Charleston Courier says—“ Not the least interesting portion of the work is the delineation of the New Ter ritories, Eutah, New Mexico, Oregon, Minesota and the State of California, —showing clearly the bounda ries lately established by Congress. On the whole it will be full, complete and reliable, calculated to be a standard work of reference for many years, and will doubtless supercede the old Maps in all institutions of learning, Libraries, Counting rooms, and private lamilies, (as it is replete with information useful alike to the man of business and the man of leisure.) In ; hort it is a desideratum long looked for as the old works have for many years been very unsatisfactory.— Being the first Southern publication of the kind, and sold at an unusually low price rt must meet with very extensive patronage.” The Savannah Daily Morning News says—“ Having heard much said in its praise we were gratified to have an opportunity of examining ” B > s on a larger and more elaborate scale than any olap heretofore published—it must supercede all oth er Maps of North America, <tc. M it:;out going into detail we have only to say it is worthy of the notice of every intelligent gentleman.” ah. Lodges the Agent for the publisher will afford mi citizens an opportunity of examining or obtaining ■he wotic, and we cannot but recommend it to their patronage. KT.

Macon, March 19,1851.—1 t Fine Carriage Establishment. —Messrs j Freeman and Roberts have now in Store a more exten sive assortment of Carriages, Rockaways, Buggies and Harness than we recollect of seeing any where else in Georgia. Some of these are splendid specimens of manufacture, which should be seen by the wealthy citi zen who desires to make a display corresponding to his condition. In the Carriage way he can be accommodated with an article at any cost from 8500 to SIOOO, and in the line of Buggies, at a price ranging from SIOO to $350, with appropriate finish and workmanship. One of the former at SBOO, is an exquisitely beautiful and luxu rious vehicle that might well excite the envy of the proudest dame in the land, were it unattainable. The single item of silk fringe on the Ilammercloth cost S4O, and the lamps S3O per pair. We examined also, one of the superior Buggies just sold by Messrs. F. & R.‘ for $325, or thereabouts, with double harness, &c., and a neater or more elegant article of the kind we think it useless to look for. A Harness also, manufactured in Macon, and to go with the Buggy could not be excel led in any Northern establishment. It is the intention of these enterprtzing gentlemen be fore long to manufacture at home, most, if not all of the articles sold by them. Indeed, they have already had many buggies made for them by Mr. English of this city, which for durability as well as elegance cannot be equalled by any imported. When they sell one of these they are sure of it giving entire satisfaction to the purchaser. We commend Messrs F. &R. to our friends as gentlemen well skilled in their business and highly honorable dealers. Those wanting Carriages will do well to give them a call. ■——— News Items, Baltimore, March 21.—About one o’clock this af ternoon, John S. Skinner editor of the Loom and An vil, fell through a door in our city post-office into a deep cellar, striking his head against a large stone and fracturing his skull. lie died at, 7 o’clock, having been insensible from the time of the accident.

The steamer Arctic arrived at New York on Sun day morning the 23d, liaviug left Liverpool on the Bth instant. On the first night out, the Arctic was run into by a large ship, and was slightly damaged. j The news is very unimportant, and differs but tri | flingly from the accounts by the Franklin.

Gd.— Charleston Courier. i PROSPECTUS OF THE SECOND VOLUME OP (S.eorgifl Citizen, “ Independent j n a n things—neutral in nothing.” The second volume of the “Citizen ” will maintain the same general features which have characterized the Ist volume. The following outline'of the Editor’s plan of conducting the same is submitted to the approval of a discriminating public:— A Georgia Paper. As the name imports, all the great interests of this Commonwealth will be studiously cared for in our col umns, under appropriate heads. Its Commercial, Man ufacturing and Agricultural industry will be developed to the extent of our ability. Its Railway and Plank Road improvements will be duly encouraged and pro moted. Its moral and political elevation, as the Empire State of the South, will always find in the Georgia Citizen an ardent friend and untiring advocate. Home Education, M ill occupy a share of our attention and co-operation. The education of our whole people, by a judicious pub lic-school system is the great want of our times, which we will labor to have supplied as soon as possible. Literature and Science. These topics will always secure our zealous support.— Our various Instiutions of learning for both sexes, being justly deemed the glory of the State, will be honored and appreciated as they deserve, while learned pedantry and conceited pretension will be exposed and denounced. Our Politics. The Editor drew his first lessons of political wisdom from \\ ashington, Jefferson and Jackson. From them he learned to love the Union of these States, as the richest legacy which our republican fathers have be queathed to their sons. In his devotion to the main tenance of these principles, lie knows no change nor abatement of ardor, and consequently will be found battling in the ranks of that host whose mot to is “ 27/e Union — it must and shall be preserved ,” when a question of such vital importance to Constitu tional Liberty engages public attention. In this particu lar, however, he pledges himself to no man or set of men, but will maintain that position of independence that a conscientious journalist should hold, who lightly esteems party, when cherished principles are involved or endangered. Agriculture. A portion of the paper will be devoted weekly to Agriculture, and our effort shall be to show that the climate and soil of Georgia, make it capable of much more diversified culture, than is now pursued within her limits, and that it will be to tlie interest of the peo ple, that a radical change takes place in this particular. Manufactures. As heretofore the Citizen will be the fast friend of the manufacturing enterprize of the people in all its va rious aspects, from a wooden bucket to a steam engine. Believing that every article of household or domestic economy and every implement of commerce and agri culture can be manufactured at home, and out of raw materials found within our limits, we will not cease to urge the policy of extended manufactures, until a fair tri al is had of its importance to the prosperity of thj State. To Mechanics, The “ Citizen ” will come as a sincere friend which will labor to dignify the useful handicrafts and redeem them from the burdens, inequalities and dishonor which a false public opinion and an unjust system of legislation have imposed upon them as a class. Convinced, as we are, of the gross injustice of placing the honest mechan ic on the same platform with servile and convict opera tives, we shall use all proper arguments and measures to bring about that reform in these matters, so essential to the public interest. Domestic Economy. Under this head, the careful housewife will find ma ny items of great value in every day life of an “ every day married woman,” such as useful receipts in every department of domestic economy, valuable suggestions in culinary and horticultural operations, which, it is needful for every family to know. Prose and Poetical Miscellany. Our cullings for this department shall be choice, — combining the beautiful with the useful—the sparkling with the grave, and the ornate with the instructive.— Mowers with every hue and fragrance, gems of every lustre, buds and blossoms of every clime shall be gath ered from the world’s storehouse of literature, and weekly presented to our readers of taste and refine ment. The Commercial World, Shall not be unrepresented in our columns. The state of the market and crops and all other matters of interest to the man of business will receive careful con sideration and record. General Intelligence. The ni ms of the day will be served up in such a manner a will keep our readers posted on ali subjects of interest and importance. That is, we intend to give the cream of events, not the well-watered skimmed milk dilutions so often imposed upon a good natured public. It is the age of condensation of thought, and that journalist is behind the times, who cannot or will not take the hint and improve on the idea. <S@B3IVIO£Si The 2d volume of the “ Citizen ” will be published on a larger sheet than the first, two or three more col umns of reading matter being given, weekly, than here tofore, on the following terms : One Copy per annum, in advance, $2 00. “ “ “ “ in three months 2 50. “ “ “ “ not so paid, 3 00.
