Woman as she is Valued.
The word woman impresses our imagination with
nil that is good, pure and lovely. The simple word 1
seems to portray every charm embodied in her sex, 1
The rules of society have refined it with the term lady,
which, however, leaves an impression of something
stiff, cold, and passionless.
What can sound more sweet than woman —lovely
woman ? nothing to my ear, but her silvery voice which
is even sweeter than the tone of an Eolian harp when
touched with the mild Zephyrs fanned from the wings
of an angel.
What has more unlimited control over the heart of 1
man than a lovely woman. V\ hen beauty is entwined
in her raven tress and lurks on her soft dewy lip, when
it mingles with the rose of the cheek, and the lily of ;
her lofty brow; when it sparkles from a daik eoul-pierc
ing eye, warm enough to thaw an ice-berg—is there
a man around whose heart worldly prudence has form
ed an icy circle sufficient to resist such a charmer ? I
think not, though “all are not men that wear the hu
man form.’’ Many of them prefer one of those lan
guid, dreaming beauties which 6eera but a spirit from
Heaven, with golden ringlets and marble brow, whose
appearance conveys the idea, “ I have no will of my
own They like a female of this kind the best. Do
you know why ? It must be for this reason they think
them easier duped, and imagine they have not sufficient
energy to contend for their rights, and, sooner than
give vent to thoughts and feelings which swell inexpres
sible in their bosoms, will suppress them, through fear
of disapprobation. It is but the smallest number of
men who like a woman that has self-confidence suffi
cient :o speak out whatever her heart prompts and rea
son dictates, one who will stand erect and say to the
lords of creation, ‘‘Sirs, I am responsible for my every
word and act,” No, they will not encourage such in
dependence in the sex, nor tolerate one who presumes
So think for herself, or who has made herself capable
of rational enjoyments. It is an exception to the gene
ral rules for a man to value a woman alone for her
mental worth. They all, more or less, dislike what is
called a blue. When a female has a liberal education
and has been pronounced by the world to be an intelli
gent and literary woman, the generality of the male
creation seem to hold her in awe. Why is it? Do they
think learning has chilled the finer feelings? If so,
tVv are mistaken. It only aids her in loving with a
“doubly distilled devotedneess,’’ an object, when worthy
of her affection. Or is it because she makes them feel in
significant and they do not like to acknowledge infe
riority to the weaker sex, even if it be so ? It cannot
be that, for a man’s advantages, in every respect, are
ten fold to liers. I cannot solve the mystery and it is
nonsense to reason thus. Sol will leave it with those
who know more about human nature than myself.
Hut how often has a remark like this been made,
by a gentleman relative to a young lady of this de
scription ? “There is nothing to be made on that score,
for she is too smart to suffer me to carry on a flirtation
long enough to make it interesting. In spite of myself
she can command my respect and admiration, but time
is too precious to be wasted on an altar where there is
nothing but intellect. I would rather throw it away
on an edifice which sparkles alone with the glittering
gems from the California mines, and risk the chances
in making something by it. I may fail, yet I will go it
blind.’’
Is it not strange that the generality of men value a
female more for lucre’s sake than to obtain an intelli
gent companion, help-meet and friend ? Often you
may hear a young man breathe forth in words so low
and confiding, while clasping the hand of a beautiful
heiress of wealth, “ dearest, this hand alone can make
me happy.’’ Why docs he not say, “ dearest, this
hand, of itself is without value. It is the boot which
I expect to obtain with it—there my soul is centered,
love, for a man had better be without brains than
money.” Do you not think he would come nearer the
truth, were he thus candid in his devotion.
It is not often you find money and brains residing
together in any one person. If so, they seldom have a
partner, for they look on this world not through a
fairy telescope, but through a suspicious glass, which
magnifies every sweet smile and confiding word, as
the insincere homage to her charms of wealth, and
alone she will siglt for a congenial spirit—a heart that
will beat responsive to her’s, and for one who can love
her for herself alone, undazzled by gold.
Mark the fervency of nature when a man's heart has
been captured by a female, who only possesses the
snowy robes of purity, innocence and truth. What
will he not suffer for the light of his life? for her lie
will fight and oft has been spurred on to the battle field,
first and foremost in the ranks, considering life but a
poor sacrifice for the star that rules his destiny. For
her will encounter the howling storms of adversity.
Even Kings have been taught to doff their coats of
pride and with all the humiliation of a plebian, on the
bended knee, pour out the feelings of love at the shrine
of a woman.
Woman ! your smile is as mild as the moon beam,
and as cheering as a ray from the celestial fire. Wo
men ! you are tender flowers springing up in man's
rugged path through life, but to decorate his halls and
waste your sweetness in ministrations to his happiness.
Leaf by leaf you fade and e’er you are moulded into
dust, —another has been culled by the *ay side and
planted in thy place m his bosom, to be watered with
the tears of affection and warmed with its nourishing
smiles.
Woman, thou art the most beautiful animated crea
ture that has ever come from the hand of the Great
Omnipotent. Yet, you are bought and sold for paltry
gold which is mockery to your worth, and all because
you are not true to your sex and to your proper mis
sion in life. EOLIA.

The Pardoning Power.
Mn. Editor : —ln reading the proceedings of tlie
Legislature a person will be struck very forcibly with
the number of pardons granted to the convicted mur
derers in the differenPcounties. It appears that it is
a Legislature elected for the purpose of pardoning con
victs. The question then arises, is it prudent and good
for the morals of the public, for the Legislature to as
sume the responsibility of pardoning these convicted
murderers? It is supposable, r.t least presumable,
that every one of them had a fair and impartial trial
at home or in the counties where they were indicted by
a Jury of twelve sworn men. If that be the case
why nullify the verdict of the Jury? Why not let
their decision remain permanent and fiual, and the law
have its course?
I make n© pretensions, and have but very little
knowledge of law, but have understood the object of
the principles of the law is justice- If that be the
ease the question then is who are the most competent
judges of the guilt or the innocence of these men, the
Jury of twelve sworn unbiassed men or the Legislature?
If the Jury, who had the case under their own imme
diate charge, and were conversant with the parties, cir
cumstances and facts, why not let their decision stand,
and the law be enforced by the proper authorities. It
is very seldom that the jury ever gives an unjust ver
dict after hearing the evidence for and against, and the
argument from the contending parties and the charge
of the court. It is hardly supposable that the mcn
bers of the Legislature liviug in other sections of the
State from where the crimes were committed, and not
being acquainted with the parties and circumstances,
uid be better judges than the men that tritd them
1 who were familiar with all of the facts. One half
■he eases that are brought before tho Legislature
pardoned through sympathetic feelings.
It seems that the Legislature are about to make the
boasted trial by jTTry nugatory. At least they are de
termined on having the last decisions on ail such occa
sions. Why not, if such a thing can be done, pass an
act making it obligatory upon the Legislatures to try all
capital offences for the future? It would be the means
of saving a good deal of money in the pockets of the
people in the counties where such acts oceurr. It is no
inconsiderable expense on the eounties where acts of
that character are committed and carried through the
regular course of law. And it is a very consola
tion to the people, after the trouble and expense of try
ing and convicting them, and feeding them in jail, pro
bably twelve or eighteen months, by a simple act of the
Legislature to have the convicts let loose unpunished,
and at liberty to commit similar offences. The repriev
ing and pardoning power when delegated to the Exe
cutive and Legislature, if my understanding be correct,
was not to be used indiscriminately on every occasion.
But on occasions where after circumstances occur to
prove that the persons were unjustly dealt by, or facts are
brought to light that they were innocent of the chargee.
The great danger is, that the pardoning power may be
carried to extremes, when not judiciously used and have
a baneful influence upon the public. As lor petitions,
the most debauched and vicious character that ever
lived can get signatures to a petition.
There is no recognized right from the laws of God
and man for man to take the life of his follow being
wilfully. If he does lie forfeits his own and therefore
should not complain, but submit to his doom without
a murmur. It is a fact notorious that the sympathies
of the public, in every instance, are for the condemned
no matter how atrocious his crime may be, and how
reckless and dissolute of character the man. Should
he lie in jail twelve or eighteen months, conclusions
are that he has suffered sufficiently without the penal
ties of law, while one half of them live better in jail
than they do at home. At least, they have their own
means and that of the public. On the other hand the
sympathies of the public for the murdered man and his
family who may be suffering, in extreme penury, are
“ like angel's visits, few and far between.’’ Notwith
standing he came to his death prematurely and without
a sufficient provocation.
If report be correct and I have not heard it denied,
the last administration has liberated or let out more con
victs from the Penitentiary than any other Executive
since Georgia has been a State, a fact unprecedented in
the annals of any State, (Pennsylvania not excepted.)
It affords me no pleasure to speak of the last adminis
tration, as there is nothing good that can be said of it.
but every thing against it. At least it had not gained
any credit in the State or abroad, in the management
of its affairs. I was not instrumental in elevating
Gov. Towns to the Chief Magistracy of the State, con
sequently my conscience is clear and void of all offence
on that score. But, what is more astounding, the pre
sent Legislature is carrying out his behest to its fullest
intent and purpose. I do not wish to be understood
as imputing any improper motives to the members of
the Legislature. I have too much respect for the in
telligence and honesty of the members of that body. 1
have merely made these suggestions to the public, to
show the impropriety of petitioning the Legislature on
every occasion to pardon persons convicted for the
crime of murder. If the practice should continue,
every man convicted of that act, for the future, will
petition the Legislature. If the succeeding Legisla
tures should take the action of the present one as a pre
cedent, there never will be another man hung in Geor
gia for murder. Precedents act upon the minds of the
community, in some instances, like the law. \\ hen
that is the ease the laws of the land are nothing more
than moonshine. They will lose that respect with the
people they previously had and which is indispensably
necessary for peace and order, and evil cease to be
regarded and reverenced as the citadel of tho life, lib
erty, and prosperity of the people.

History of “luclc Sam.”
CHAPTER 11.
“Who rule.3 the Kingdom? tlie King,
Who rules the King ? the Duke,
Who rules the l>uke ? the Vcrii.”
Ills courtship and what the world said.
Now it so happened, that in the same part of the
country where Uncle Siam lived, there dwelt a great
overgrown buxoin hoity-toity tom-boy widow, whose
large estate joined his own, and who had taken a very
silly fancy to marry Sam and no one else. It is true
that she was not properly either maid, widow or wife,
as her husband still dragged on a half-gone existence,
and though he had frequently felt the strength of her
red right arm, pertinaciously persisted in asserting his
claims, to her and hers. Uncle Sam bad watched the
tamily fracas, with deep interest, and when the ‘grass
widow’Texas walloped Don Mexicos and assumed the
inexpressibles, with all the rights thereto appertaining
lie secretly resolved that she alone was worthy of his
faithful heart, and privately declared his intention ot
wedding the lady first and settling the dispute about
the Don’s right ajterwards.
A part of the relatives of Uncle Sam were bitnr.y
opposed to the match, some of them openly said, the
amorous old rascal had little business with the lauds
and less with the person of Missis Texas, but most of
them were willing to let the old fellow take his own
way in little matters, so ho gave them theirs in big
ones. As for Sain, he cared not rig about all their
opposition, but having slept cold lor sixty winters,
thought it high time, to look after his own comfort
even if it came, linked with the widow’s little respon
sibilities. Now in that country there existed a strange
sort of animal, which was very much like a man, and
indeed was a man, except in that it possessed no heart,
nor even any’ rudiment, of that useless appendage.
The general name of this creature was politician but
it was quite as often called statesman and when it was
bent upon being particularly mischievous it was sure
to assume the style of patriot. These things were
very plentiful, on Sam's plantation, and as they made
it their only business, to whisper nonesensc and biarny
into the old man’s ear, they often caused him to do
very foolish things. Some of them lived with John
Bull and otliers with Motiseiur Frogeater, and they
played the devil with those gents, quite as often as
honest Sam, but they always slobbered the first two
with long talks about ‘divine rights,’ while they whis
pered into the latter's ear blelherum , concerning
‘equality’ and nature’s noblemen. Accordingly these
gentlemen got poor old Sam, by the button hole, some
of them on one side and some on the other, commenc
ed altogether gabbering into each of his ears, a strange
medley, in which, annexation, forty-nine, forty, and a
and ‘office’ were strangely mingled. Some ol
the fraternity bellowed against the marriage, but as the
others made much the more ‘noise and confusion,’
they were forced to leave their old places at the crib,
and starve —for they would not beg like decent folks,
and possessed neither head nor hand for work. So,
Unci Sam was to be married, and selected Don Ni
colai Twistifier, to write out the settlement. Jim
Hickory—the best of them all—to invite the guests
and General Zacli to receive them. All of the friends
and acquaintance came and there was a very grand
entertainment. The jolly widow and her new found
lord, led off, in fin; style and after having received
the usual congratulations the old fellow beeamo up
roarious, Messieurs Bull and Frogeater haw-haw’d
right out, while Senor Stick-you in-the-back, had to
stuff’ his red bandanna in his mouth, to keep from
booing. At last the thing was over and done with.
The step nephews and step nieces were satisfied, the
old man and his young wife loved like ‘hangels in
’ouvon.’ and even the no-hearted halt-headed ani
mals, we spoke of, called politicians, were unanimous
ly the lady's most obsequious. But ufter the feast the
bills had to be paid, and every body expected Don
Mexicos would write the receipt. That injured and
most persecuted individual, however, most vehement
ly forbade the marriage and as he still persisted in his
opposition, it was finally agreed that he and Uncle Sam
should decide their doubts, by a ring fight. When
the matter was mentioned to Sam, the sturdy old fel
low pulled off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and be
gan pitching into any thing and every tiling, till he
became a perfect foam, and raged and fumed like a
pet of spermacetti. Ilyrc.ew wife determined to hold
his beaver in the—muss—and the place for the ring
was pitched on her own estate, of which Sam had
taken possession. On the appointed day, the two cav
alieros repaired to the place of coinbat, and prepared
fora despovate rencounter. Don Mexicos twisted his
mustachiuos, sucked the stump of his cigaretto and
made mouths at his enemy most ferociously, but old
Sam walked round and round him like a bull dog.
eyeing him maliciously, snarling and hissing like a ser
pent. Then Don Mexicos drew his mark and dared
the old fellow to cross it, which the fiery scamp did, af
ter first requesting Monsieur Frogeater, to hold John
I>ull off, and asking the crowd generally to see fair play.
Who shad tell the horrors of that day, who shall sing
the terrors of that awful scene ? Hand to hand fought
they, long and well, blood flowed like water over the
moor and the sweet faced moon withdrew in sadness,
behind a lower mg cloud. Tho angel of the world wept
bitter tears over her fallen star, and heaven itself
looked sadly on.
‘A long hour by Slirewsby’s clook they fought,’ and
when the shuddering sun again beheld -the glorious
field, he drew affrighted, back into the sky. Sant
kicked his adversary over the plain, ran him up the
bill and then down, rolled him over a bridge and final
ly having followed him into his own house began chok
ing him, till ho gladly cried enough. After this most
glorious victory, after having bit off the car, broken
the nose, blackened the eyes, and gouged his former
friend most magnificently. Sam was perfectly satis
fied and beennte more easy and all of his former ad
mirers toadied the more, and swindled hint the deeper,
because of that noble achievement. During the fight
the late widow behaved like a woman of spirit, who
could wear the breeches, and often ran in and gave the
Don a sly poke in the bread basket, for ‘auld lang
syne.’ After it all hands were very anxious to settle
the matter, and Sam consented to let the poor com
pound of hair and tobacco alone if he would give up
all Texas’ land aftd about one half of his own.
So the scoundrel, wrong in the beginning, wrong in the
end, and especially wrong for having a wife a deuce
sight more of a man than he was, and wrong for hav
itig any mate at all, and wrong for being whipt, and
wrong for fighting at all, and wrong for being the only
friend Sain could rely on, because the only one that did
not follow ancient form and divine right, and wrong
any how , lit his cigar gave ,up his land, twisted his
mustachious, and like the k ilk in ny cat, devoured him
self for lack of better to do.
CORRESPONDENCE.
Columbus, Dec. 8, 1851.
Dear Duetor :—This is an extract from a letter
written by a gentleman of Augusta, now in Milledge
villo, to his friend in this city. With his permission,
I send it to you, hoping that you will give it a place
in the columns of your valuable paper.
Yours &c. B.
I Milledgeville, Dec. 4. 1851.
The business having commenced in the Legislature,
it affords me some pleasure to remain as a spectator in
the gallery of the House of Representatives, which
indeed affords quite a respeclable audience, during bu
siness hours, raid tends to make those Law givers do
their best. The number of spectators are fewer here
than one would be led to expect, were he at a dis
tance. There are a few here whose style of specking
and manner of address afford much interest and draw
forth much eclat, as well as tears, sometimes, in secret.
This I can say for myself, especially when the member
who has the Honor of representing your county ad
dresses the House. This gentleman is in every sense
of the word a business man and a legislator. He is
in bis place during every moment of business, lie
is never found abroad seeking pleasures, and from the
amount of new business he brings before the House,
his hours of rest must be limited. lie is true to his
trust and faithful to the interest of the whole people.
1 am sati-fied he is not the man of whom 1 heard
some speak, if he is not he has been falsely and foully slan
dered and bis motives perverted, but they are only
like the ‘viper biting the file.’
llis personal appearance is erect, and dignified,
without an effort. The baldness of his head rather
adds to his appearance than otherwise, as tho few black
locks on it makes him look healthy, young, vigorous,
and energetic in mind and body, llis manners and de
portment are those of a pleasant, modest and unassum
ing gentleman, who at heart feels all men to be llis
equal. He is not egostistcal, dictatorial or aristocratic,
either in private or public, but really looks and talks
like a Democrat at heart. It beams forth in his quick
bright eyes and frank and open countenance.
When lie speaks before the House upon any sub
ject, his whole soul is in it. lie is fervid, intense,
impetuous, forcible and pointed in every word, lie
knows, lie feels nothing else. llis style is as purely
naulrul and free, as the pure water that gushes from
the mountain spring, lie never failed to command the
attention and move the audience —especially in the cases
for pardon. Here he excelled and showed his skill and
power as a criminal advocate. None complain of him
here, except those who envy him his powers and posi
tion before the public.
There are other members here whose talents arc of
a high order,sketches of whom 1 will give you, at some
future time. 1 give you the above thinking it would
amuse you, though you could not expect as favorable
one from me, a Fire-Eater as l am. I will however
do him justice as 1 feel it. I see, however, that the
Augusta Constitutionalist and Republic differs materi
ally from my description. You know Col. Me. D. the
best, and you will be able to judge of the correctness
of our pictures. Ido not think lie deserves such ridi
cule as the Constitutionalist throw s upon him. Neither
do 1 think that either the Editors of the above paper or
the ‘Times’of your place are competent judges to de
cide as to his powers or style of speaking, because
they personally dislike the man, and difier in politics
with him. They also had a fair chance to exert and
show their talents at the Bar and failed, or, at least
abandoned it.
Sacred Music.
Macon, Ga. Dec. 15, 1851.
Mr. Editor , Dear Sir .-—May I beg space in your
inestimable paper lor a very brief communication, re
lative to the extraordinary progress being made at the
Baptist Church in this place, in the elements and prac
tise of Sacred Music, under the administration of
Prof. L. E. Everette.
Os this class I am myself a member, and though 1
have attended the schools of various teachers in ibis
divine art, 1 can say, unhesitatingly, that 1 have gained
more real knowledge of the principles of Music, and
of the proper method of applying them, successfully,
to practice, in the six lessons which 1 liavd received
from Prol. E. in the class above named, than from all
the other schools I have ever attended. A personal
acquaintance with this gentleman, which 1 had the
pleasure of making in Virginia, his native State, to
gether with his numerous testimonials from various
gentlemen ofthe highest standing in Virginia, Baltimore
and Washington cities, and Charleston, S. C. enables
me to testify to his unexceptionable moral character,
and unusual faculty of interesting classes, and pecu
liar and affective manner of presenting and simplcfy
ing the principles, and practice of singing so that the
‘wayfaring man though a fool cannot err therein.’
In short Mr. Editor, 1 am confident 1 express but the
universal opinion of all who have attended the invulu
uble instructions of Prof. E. when 1 say he is the best
teacher of the Sacred Science I have ever known to
have visited any part of tin: South. lit conclusion,
allow mo to add that the good people of Macon will
find it decidedly to their interest to protract tho slay of
this worthy Professor among them ns long as possible,
A friend to the cultivation of tho true principles of
Music.
New York Uorrespondenre*
Nsw York, Due. 11, 1851.
Mr. Editor ;—We have had a soitiowhat exciting
time of it, the past week. Hot ween the art ivui and
tho grand reception of Kossuth, and the mors than
ordinary ebullition of |H>pulnr feeling consequent upon
the news and incidents that accompanied both events,
we have been rather overun with stirring notes, and
yet only a few of them will interest your t enders.
Lola Monte*, the countess of Enndsfeldt, the dancer,
about whose conduct and reputation tho world lias been
so busy in manufacturing scandal, reached hero in the
same Steamer as the Gotcrnor of Hungary. You
may recollect that after a life of intrigues and shame
less dissipation, she lived with tho old King of Hava
na, until driven uway by his people. Him then in
veigled a young Soiou of English nobility, into a
marriage, and having secured about S6OOO a year for
an income, abandoned him, and look to tho Stage us a
da use use. Shu is a poor artiste but a notorious wo
man, and though none of the press, except the Her
ald, here, will allude to her, it is probable that she will
attract crowded houses at the Theatre, for she is a (as
cinating woman yet, and not very fastidious on certain
points.
It, seems that the benefit Concert, given by Mi Hayes
to Father Matthew, turned out only $l6B, upwards of
SBOO being swallowed up in expenses and SIBOO re
maining unaccounted for ! The Journals are raising a
storm about it, as all these ‘complimentary benefits’
have proved to be humbugs lately, the Committee act
ing on them having pocketed most of the funds, while
tho beneficiaries have received nothing ‘ There has
been some tremendous swindling somewhere iu this
Father Matthew business.
Tlie grand public experiment with Phillips’ Fire
Annihdator, ia announced by Mr. Barnum, to come off
at Hamilton square, this day week. The are
invited to attend, we see, so we shall be present. A
large bouse filled with shavings, turpentine, &c. &c.
when thoroughly in flames will be extinguished by the
Annibilalor. they promise, in less than five minutes. You
shall have the result.
Another little disclosure that has created some gossip
with us, is the fact that a Judge on the bench, and Minis
ter in the pulpit, have both been publicly accused, not on
ly of believing in the reality of Spirit Rappings,’ but of
being governed wholly, in their public and private acts,
by the responses of these impostures. It seems almost
impossible for such a charge to be true, and yet the evi
dence seems to be indisputable. We give no names,
but the culprits are distinguished men, and rather seem
to be proud than ashamed of their hallucination.
As to Kossuth, the papers have said so much about
him and his public reception, that we need hardly more
than advert to both. It is just a week since he arriv
ed, and we have been in nothing but one general whirl
of confusion and excitement from that moment to this.
The reception itself, last Saturday, was a scene of ex
traordinary enthusiasm and display. Every body was
out in the streets—all the Military was out —all tho
public authorities, societies &c. were out —banners
were waving, guns firing, tho women shaking their
handkerchiefs, and the men shrieking out vehement
huzzas ! Such a picture was never seen here before,
as when the procession pased along Broadway and
Kossuth himself stopped to read the flattering trans
parencies that greeted him at every step.
Kossuth's speeches since Saturday have not added
to his popularity. It is clear that lie is not familiar
with republicanism os we Americans understand it,
and this praise o( our people will hardly gratify bis sneers
at Congress. He seems to think that the l nited States’
Senate should forget its dignity at once to honor him
by especial ndtniration. He has a liost of public din
ners to eat here yet, addresses to make. Perhaps
lie will be wise enough to recede from his awkward
position in this respect.
An actor named Shaw, having been arested here,
for shocking conduct towards a little girl, lias run
away. No more news.
Yours, METROPOLITAN.

First Shad of the Season !
Through the politeness of mine hosts of the Lanier
House, we had the pleasure of dining, on Thursday
last, with a select company of gentlemen, on the first
shad which has been taken at Savannah, the present
season. It was notemium shad, of rare qualities,
and was up injC-Inilrable style. Tile adj nvants
of the featft were delectable relish and piquancy,
throwing*hog-chioJpFuta baga, and long collards en
tirely in the shadow, the post prnndium opinion of
our friend, the Colonel, (one of the patty.) to the con
trary, notwithstanding. We understand that some
of the Epicureans of Savanna It were rather chagrined,
that they missed a chance at this pioneer of the shad
family ; but they may rest assured that ‘ full justice
was done to the subject’ without their assistance.
Awful Calamity. —On Sunday lasr, a carriage
containing the wife and children of Mr. Robert Winn,
of Monroe Cos., when in the act of being driven across
the Macon and Western Railroad, near Colparchee,
was run down by the regular train of locomotive and
ears, on its downward trip, by which Mrs. Winn and
four children were shockingly mangled. The negro
driver was instantly killed, and one of the children
died soon after the accident. Another is reported as
having.since died; while Mrs. W. and the remaining
two children are now lying in a critical situation. The
coachman was supposed to have been drinking, as a
flask of liquor was broken in his pocket, by tlie eollis.
ion. We have heard of no blame being attached to
the Engineer, as, in consequence of a short curve in
the road, near the place of accident, lie could not
slacken his headway sufficiently to pr- vent it. Asa
matter of precaution, hereafter, there should be much
care taken to give full notice of the approach of the
engine, considerably in advance of its arrival at the
various crossings, by blowing the steam-whistle, ring
ing the bell, an well as slackening the speed.
New Arrangement.—Mr. c. r. Levy, the
well known Machinist, Engine Builder and Founder,
of this city, lias formed a copartnership with Mr.
Thomas C. Nisbet, for the purpose of an extended
operation in the various departments of Iron and
Steam Engine manufacture. With Mr. Levy’s supe
rior mechanism and Mr. Nisbet’s financial ability and
large capital, the new firm will be able to do a flour
ishing and profitable business, and add much to the
industrial enterprizo of the city. We wish them
every success which they deserve, and that will be as
ample as their desires.
The Monkey and Hand Organ!
The Fire-eating candidates for Sheriff’ are taking
foul hold with their opponents. For example, Bagby
is going round the County, electioneering with the
Israelite’s monkey and hand organ , giving concerts
and exhibitions, free gratis , to the sovereigns ! This
is not a fair shake, and we must protest against it,
unless they will give Collins & Cos. a chance at the
animal and music, all of next week! What say you,
gentlemen ?
The Visit to Savannah.
We regret to notice, in some few of our exchanges,
paragraphs laudatory of the recent visit of the Legis
lature to Savannah. We think that the parties who
penned such paragraphs have either not fall)’ consid
ered the subject, or must be prompted by improper
mercenary motives. It is true that his Excellency
recommended the acceptance of the invitation, thinking
it might lie of service in making the Legislature ac
quainted with tho many wants of the people of Savan
nah ; hilt when it is known that the whole of tho two
days spent in that city were devoted to feasting and
revelry, speech-making and responses, it can hardly
he expected that the law-makers could have had much
time to devote to investigating the ‘ legislative wants ’
of tho seaboard city, We sincerely trust, therefore,
that wise and liberal men everywhere will frotvn upon
that spirit of adulation with which some men seem
disposed to besmear the Legislature, for their neglect
ol duty. The visit was wrong —it was improper ii
was impolitic, The public business has suffered by it.
We are sorry that the visit has been made, and have
no doqbt that ninety-nine hundredths of the people
decidedly and unequivocally condemn the act, and
that the members themselves arc heartily ashamed
thereof, or will be, before they hear the last of this
grand drama of * sioh a giiting down stairs,’ or ‘ Leg
islative dignity in the gutter,’ in wnich they were the
willing actors —the ‘observed of all observere.’

Anew “ wrinkle ” on the face of woman's
rights and privileges has been discovered by Mrs.
* Clara,’ a writer in the Marietta ‘ Masonic Journal,’
which has, at least, novelty to recommend it. It is
the right of the feminines to do the courting them
selves, and to ‘ pop the question ’ to the man of their
choice, without reserve, and without scruple. ‘Clara
professes to be a married woman, nnd r dates her
successful experiment to catch a g.od, clever, and
wuithy husband, whose modesty was so great as |t<i
preclude tile idea of his ever doing his own courting".
It so happened that he loved her as well as she diJ
him, and the denouement was therefore natural
enough, when the ice was broken, nnd a ‘ burning
kiss’ had thawed the man into the melting mood.

He said that the defeat of the electoral bill imt-t

conceit could not be overcome by argument. 1 lie
Secessionists had imagined themselves wiser than any
body else, and were not willing to be convinced to the
contrary. No one, said Mr. IVttigru. will reason or
argue with a drunken man. It is said that, on hear
ing that there was not a single vote given in the Parish
of Prince William’s against Secession, he observed it
was amazing that the Almighty should destroy S->dom

I We have little or no news from Milledgeville, this
■reek. The members do not seem to have got quite
over their visit, yet. Wednesday was consun cd in dis
cussing the propriety of taking a recess from the 23d
inst. to the 3d Monday of January! The bill to form the
new county of Polk, out of the counties of Paulding,
Floyd and Cobb, passed the House by a vote of 54 t >
10. That to form anew county out of Fayette, Merri
wetlier and Coweta failed. Several important Bills
have been introduced, but notliiug of general interest
has progressed to completion.
The municipal Election.
At the present crisis, in the attain* of Macon, when
Rail Road monopolies seem dispose! to violate the
spirit nnd letter of existing contracts, and push our
commercial interests to the wall, it becomes the peo
ple to ponder well on the fitness of candidates t> fill
the important officer of Mayor and Aldermen for the
next year. Never, *n the history of Macon, was there
j more occasion for tin* elect on of men to these stations,
who are thorough!, >/ identified in feeling and inter
est with the prosperity of the place, and that too. in de
cided and unmistakable preference for Macon. over all
other places. In comparison with this question of life
and death to our city. Unionism and Disunionism are
abstractions, unworthy a moments’ thought. We
trust, therefore, that the maneuvering of scheming
politieans, unprincipled candidates and mercenary edi
tors will not avail to foist upon the people an unfaith
ful and inefficient Board of Officers. Let the people
disregard mere party nominations, unless, after due trial
and investigation, they find the tickets presented for
their suffrages, to consist of men of the right stamp,
especially in the particular just mentioned. We want
a man f>r Chief Magistrate of the city, who has tai
nts of a commanding order, and business qualifica
tions of the Is-st kind, with untiring industry, an 1
who is emphatically a Miron man. And he should
be supported by a Board of Aldermen of like charac
ter. Whether the tickets now before the people <r
others to be offered nail meet the public expectation and
public wants remains to be seen. For ourselves, we
go, in the coming election, (or the best men, irrespec
tive of party polities, and for the reason, that we do
not believe in the right of a small clique of men dio
tat ng to a whole party, who shall be elected to this
or that office. Neither do we think it republican fora
Chairman of a small meeting to be called on to nomin
ate a nominating Committee, which latter shall have
the power to fasten such a ticket on the party, as the
self-interest of a few wire-pullers may indicate. These
are our honest sentiments, and if they are not suffi
ciently definite, we may take the opportunity before
election day, to use greater plainness of speech than
may suit some people we wot of.
What Tennessee is doin?.
“ Mr. Houston, the Chairman of the Committee on
Internal Improvements, introduced in the House, a
General Bill , which was read and passed. This bill,
provides, under provisions well guarded, and with am
pie security to the State by mortgage, that the State
shall advance lur bonds to tbe nmonnt of £B,OOO per
mile, to furnish the Iron and equipments. The roads
especially provided for in this bill, arc the following,
to-wit: East Tennessee and Virginia, from the Vir
ginia line to connect with the East Tennessee and Geor
gia ; to the Chattanooga, Harrison, Georgetown, and
Charleston railroad ; to the Nashville and North wee
tern railroad ; to the Louisville and Nashville railroad:
to the Nashville aud Henderson railroad ; to the South
western railroad; to the Memphis and Charleston
railroad ; Mobile and Ohio railroad ; to the Memphis
and Nashville railroad ; to the Nashville and Cincin
nati railroad ; to the East Tennessee and Georgia
railroad: to the Memphis, Clarksville, and Louisville
railroad.’’
The passage of such a Bill bv the Tennessee Leg
islature will in a few years, make her the Railroad
State of the Union, Let Georgia meet, in a corre
sponding spirit, so much of that action as will be neces
sary to draw and conduct the trade of the boundless
west towards our seaboard city, and there can be
hardly any estimate of ihe immense tide of Commerce
which will passthrough our limits to the Atlantic!
The State road should not only be thoroughly repair
ed to meet the swelling volume of trade which will
soon set this way, but be ready to open other avenues
when such may become necessary.
