Kossuth and Nonintervention.
A 6CE.NE IN WALL STREET.
Ci/ F v.—llowyou docs, Sambo? I’se bin dyin for
see you. I know you one ob deni literary men, and I
want you to splain to me what all dis row is about
non-iuterwention, and all dem tixins.
Sajibo.— Use be proud, Cuff, to lighten you on dat
pint; but the fuss ting I want to know is, wedder your
mind is unbias or not: wedder you scribe to dem aui
madwurshuns ob do Currier A Quirer on dc great
Koshoot, or wedder it is in dat plastic state ready to
receive de truth or toderwise. In de words ob do
great Macedonian, I pause for a reply.
„ Cuff.—Well, Sambo, I duu know what you mean
by do mind in a plaster state; but if you link 1 believe
in dat Watson Webb, you can take my hat; caze why?
Beease I nebber read him; anoder ting, I don’t hear
he’s posed to dat fugitive law and nigger emigrashuu.
Sambo.—Ntiff sed, Cuff. I sec you’se open to con
wieshuu. Well, den, Mr. Koshoot, (I know dc man
tedder night, at de great festival, ob helping him to a
plate of rtluwich.) Well, in his great speech, dat
night, he brought up some cotashuns from the dying
speech and confesshun ob de'mortal Washington, bout
nuterality and non-iuterwensliun ; and he went on to
show dat dey was jus as different as two peas, upon
dis ground : data man or a governmen’ might remain
neutral towards two behgeriu powers, and yet not in
different ; or iu oder words, to make it more complex
and telligible, he might not interfere between de two
who was cutting each Oder’s throats, but at the same
time he would interfere to prevent any one else steppin
in; and dat am what he called interwenshun. lie
also went on to show dat de great Washington ueber
intended to stablish the principle, I link he called it,
of non-iuterwensliun now and foreber, but only as Jo
policy ob dc moment, until de governmen had- got
strong enuff to defend demselves, and loud a helping
hand to oders. And to my mind, Cuff, I link he’s
rjrrht. 1 look upon de doctrine ob non-iuterweushun,
under no circumstances and no how, as de most mon
strous absurdity as eber was eircumwented by man.
Mus dis nation, now we’se got our freedom and inde
pendence, stand by indifferent to the wailin and
smasliiu out ob teeth ob oppressed nations groaning
under de iron heel* of despotism? Non-interwen
ahun ? I look upou um as opposed to de spirit of true
Christianity, immortality, philanthropy, hydropathy,
and —Cuff', I lose myself when I link ob uni—l dun
get so mad —I dun know what I say.
Cuff. —Go it, Sambo ; I tink you'se ‘spired. Iso
wid you. Down wid Hungary and lion-interwen
shun.
Sambo. —Hold, nigger ; you dun know what you're
talking bout. You musn t tiuk, case inlerwenshun,
as de great principle of civil liberty and brotherly love
(see de big book, where lie says, love thy neighbor,
succor de alllicted, do to oders as you want dem to do
unto you) is right under some circumstances, dat he’s
right under all oders; beease our own safety, and
de sacred cause ob liberty, demand dat we shouldn’t
madly peril de rich inheritance our forefathers be
queeved to us. No, Cuff; although Igo it strong for
llungarv, still, to speak de sentiments ob de great
Koshoot, although one ob de outposts ob liberty is in
danger, I wouldn’t raise my sacrumligious hand to
destroy de temple. And such, 1 tink, would be de
result ob sendin troops and fleets iu aid of Hungary ;
for if we do it in dis case, we mus, like de great Don
Quixote, mount our Rosernate, to tilt agin ebery
windmill dat flaps its wings. No, Cuff, don't let our
sympathies be tendered wid de armed hand, but wid
de oiled palm ; letebery man open his purse and down
wid de dust. Do you want dis country to go to war;
do you want to see de mill stopped, and Je ships rottin
in do docks ; do yoa want Massa John to stop payment,
and hab de store shut up; would you like to have your
dray broke down, and your old horse dying for want
of oats; and finally, and lastly, do you want he
drafted to go sogerin ?
Cuff. —l'm convinced—dat last argumen bout
sogerin has settled me. I nebber could bear de smell
ob powder, no how—yah yah, yah. Dey don’t get
dis nigger to go lemonadin wid a musket on his
shoulder. Drafted, hey ? If your gwoin to talk bout
drafts, spose we ’journ to Downing’s, and take a
smash. Exit.
Wealth cf a Country
Depends- upon its Farmers and Mechanics.
What is wealth ! Those things which are
convenient and necessary to use, which admin
ister to our wants and our comforts. Money
alone cannot, therefore, be considered as wealth,
because if the articles or things above men
tioned are not to be had, or are not in existence,
a man would be poor indeed though he were
loaded with gold and silver. If he were hung
ry, and there was no bread to be bought; If lie
were shivering with cold, and there were no
garments made for sale, his gold would be of
but little service. It is true, mankind, by a com
mon consent have agreed that gold should be
the sign or evidence of property, or, in other
words, the property: and he who has a certain
amount of it, has the evidence of much wealth.
He can exchange it for the very things or arti
cles which do in fact constitute wealth. Thus,
a man who has a hundred dollars in his pocket,
has the ticket, as it were to entitle him to enter
into the possession of a hundred bushels of corn,
or a hundred yards of cloth, a hundred acres of
wood land, or a yoke of oxen ; or a horse and
wagon, as the case may be. But it these things
do not exist, and he needs them, his ticket is
of no more use than if he had -a ticket to go
into a theatre, and the theatre should have
burned down before he used it.
The elements of wealth, therefore, consist in
natural productions, brought together, changed
and modified by the skill and labor of man—
by the skill and labor of the farmer and me
chanic. Commerce, though necessary and hon
orable, is nothing more than the moving or
changing of these productions from place to
piace. It has always appeared singular to us,
that merchants should consider themselves, as
far too man)’’ of them do, above the farmers or
mechanics, merely on account of their profes
sion, when they are indeed only the teamsters
to the others. They are the agents to trans
port their productions hither, as calls may ex
ist for them.
If we are right in the position which we have
taken, that wealth consists in natural produc
tions changed'and wrought upon by the labor
of man, it follows that the country which pos
sesses the most of tlie-elements or materials to
work upon, such as good soil, abundance of wa
ter power, forests of timber, quarries of differ
ent kinds of stone, mines, <fcc. must have the
most natural wealth. It then only requires the
hand of industry and to put these materials in
to shape, and to put them together to form real
substantial wealth. This is the duty of the far
mer and mechanic. They are the second crea
tors of wealth. They take the raw material as
it comes from the hand of the Almighty, and
ehangeit by their labor into the thousands and
tens of thousands of different forms which ren
der it useful to man, which make it subservient,
to the wants and comforts of human life. The
more industrious and skillful this class, the
more wealth will be accumulated in the coun
try.
Do farmers and mechanics consider these
things rightly ? Are they not too apt to think
themselves mere plodders and servants, rather
than as second to the great first cause in the
production and increase of wealth ? And, in
deed, is there not a false standard of respecta
bility too much in vogue in society, and are not
the productive classes apt to measure them
selves by it \ This standard appears to be idle
ness and fine eoats; and consequently, the
more idle a man can be, and the finer the dress,
the more of a gentleman. Not so. Respecta
bility should consist in an improved mind, and
skillul and industrious hands. Mural qualifica
tions being equal, he should have the most hon
or, who by the combination of the efforts of his
mind and physical powers, has contributed most
largely to the increase of those things which
constitute wealth. Such an one has done more
for the amelioration of society than a thousand
unproductive dandies, who 101 l in the shade

Anew Mechanical Wonder.
♦Ye called yesterday npon Mr. Solomon to see his
new engine, by which carbonic acid gas is made to an
swer all the purposes of steam. Some twelve years
ago he conceived the idea that there is power in this
fluid far surpassing that of steam, which might be ap
plied to all the purposes of mechanical power. At that
time he constructed an engine, but it was defective;
and since that he has continued to experiment. lie
has now so perfected Ids machinery that the utility of
this power can be fully seen—with common whiting,
sulphuric acid and water, lie generates the gas. Five
dollars worth of these materials will serve to propel a
boat across the ocean, half a dozen times, and if there
be no leakage, it will keep tlie boat in motion until it
wears out. This fluid has a pressuro of 510 pounds
on the square inch, while water has none, except that of
gravity. Water at the boiling point gives a pressure
of 15 pounds. With the addition of JO degrees of
heat the power is double, giving 30 pounds, and so on,
doubling with every addition of 30 degrees of heat un
til we have 3840 pounds under a heat of 452 degrees,
a heat which no engine can endure. But with tlie
carbon, 50 degrees of heat give 1000 pounds; (50 de
grees give 21G0 pounds, 80 degrees give 4320 pounds;
that is 132 degrees less than boiling heat gives a greater
power with this gas, than 452 give by converting wa
ter into steam ! The result is that it requires SI,BOO,
of expense to run a boat to New Orleans and back
again with the old engine, while this one will do the
same work for SSO.
Mr. Solomon lias his engine in operation. It is of
25 horse power, and raises 12,000 pounds up and down
five times in a minute. He lias it so planted that its
po.ver may be seen. The engine is so constructed as
to be self-sustaining, manufacturing and pumping its
own gas, while a small furnace, almost hall as large ns
a common furnace for heating flatirons, furnishes all the
heat he desires ! A handful of charcoal does tlie work,
and his boiler is about as large as a good sized cannon
ball.
These facts speak for themselves, and Mr. Solomon’s
engine needs no oratorial flourishes to commend it to
the public curiosity. It is at tlie foundry on Main, op
posite Thirteenth st., where any of our citizens can see
the operation of this wonderful invention.— Cincinnati

The Tax Laws of the State.
It gives us much pleasure to announce the passage,
by the House of Representatives, of the ad valorem tax
bill. There may be some defects in tlie bill (which
we have not seen,) but that it is better than the present
lax law, there can be but little doubt. Indeed we do
not see how it could be worse than tlie existing law, as
reference to a few facts will clearly demonstrate.
Thcte are forty million acres of land in the State,
according to White’s Statistics , thirty of which only
were returned in 1849 for taxes. The real estate of
the State is estimated in the lust census at $121,631,292,
and the personal estate at $213,028,925. Iho State
tax assessed for the present year is $338,961 91, and
the County tax for the last year was $181,390 04.
Under the present law, slaves pay $130,310 94 of
the State tax, and the entire real estate of the State
pays only some $54,000 00. Though the real est tc
is worth more than half as much as the personal yet
one ileni alone of the latter pays nearly three times the
tax that the former does.
Town lots and stock in trade pay, in round numbers,
$54,000 00, as much as the forty million acres of land
in the State, estimated to be worth $121,631,292. in
other words, the lax on its commerce of the State is as
great as that on the landed interests! The $12,000,
000 of real estate in the cities and towns pay almost as
much tax as the $110,000,000 out of the towns and
cities.
These are not the only inequalities in the existing
law. Eleven thousand (ax payers in the cities and
towns pay one third of the taxes of the State. There
are about 100,000 tax-payers in the State, and 11,000
or one-ninth of them pay one-third of the taxes. Uue
half the mil estate outside of the towns and cities pays
only about $15,000 tax, whereas the other hall pays
near $ 40,000. The tax oil $9,000,000 at interest is
some $2,000, while the tax oil the same amount of real
estate in cities and towns is $36,000, and the tax on
4,000,000 stock in trade $16,000.
The poorest oak and hickory lands pay a tax of 2 1-2
cents pel acre, while the richest pine lands pay only
three-fourths of one mill, a difference of 340 per cent.
The poor mechanic in one of our villages pays more
for the support ot the Government on liis house and
lot of the value of 300 dollars, than the wealthy land
holder oil his plantation worth $50,000. A man own
ing a princely mansion worth $25,000 and standing on
a acre of pine land just outside the corporate limits of
a town, only pays a tax of three-fourths of one mill,
while the mechanic alluded to, pays 40 cents on the val
ue of his little house and lot.
These facts clearly demonstrate the inequalities and
injustice of the existing law. W e should consider the
enactment of an ad valorem law lay the Legislature,
an event in the history of the State ol the highest im
portance, and deserving to be held in gratetul remem
brance through all coming time. M e can recall no
reform since the foundation of the Stale Government
more just, more patriotic, or more necessary. All dir
ect tax laws should be based on the value oi the pro
perty taxed. citizen should contribute to tbo sup
port of the Government according to his means and
not according to the kind or description of those means .
All other modes of taxation are unequal and unjust,
and we are glad this fact is beginning to be realized by
the people of Georgia. The present Legislature will
entitle itself to the iasting gratitude of the State, should
it carry through this great reform.— Sac. liep.
Vermont. —That very pious, conscientious, Free Soil
State—too much iu love with human rights to fulfil
the provisions of the U. S. constitution respecting the
rendition of fugitives from labor, sells its own white
citizens at auction! Mrs. C. J. 11. Nichols, at the
late Women’s Convention, at \4 orcester, related the
following facts :
“An old woman she knew in Vermont, had by
her industry aided her husband to accumulate a little
property—enough to have sustained either of them in
their old age. The old lady had worked hard ; she
was a veteran at patching, but the clothes were always
clean. Finally her husband died, and left her a
widow. Two thirds of their little property went to his
heirs; the remaining third was insufficient lor her.
She could have only the use of that. Her neighbors
all respected and loved her. Many little gif s did
they’ send poor old aunt. At last she became abso
lutely helpless, and was set up at auction and sold a
pauper, and died in the poor-house.''’
’ Gordey and Kossuth.
In reply to some inquiry in relation to the
relinquishment of the government ot Hunga
ry by Kossuth, the Boston Transcript publish
es the following literal translation from the Xe
vuede deux Mondes, for December, 1849:
‘lie (Gorgey) only sank under the weight of
tho responsibilities which Kossuth confided to
him, when lie himself despaired ot saying that
Hungary which his own mad ambition had
brought to tho very verge of destruction. Ihe
young general received Hungary from the
hands of lawyer Kossuth, attacked on every
side, without soldiers or money, provisions or
ammunition, unable to maintain for the space
of five days so unequal a struggle. The fine
speech-maker shrunk from the grievous neces
sity of confessing his folly. He bore away with
him into exile the proud satisfaction of having,
by kindling a horrid war, forced two empires
ou to the battle field, and left to the soldier,
who had risked life and limb in the defence of
his principles, the privilege of entreating mer
cy from the victors. In fine, Kossuth, by re
nouncing the direction which he had assumed
of the affairs of the kingdom, virtually ac
knowledged that lie considered-the cause hope
less and lost.’

Our Terms.— Vdvance payment being an indis
pensable condition of subscription to tho Georgia
Citizen, whenever a subscriber receives one or more
numbers beyond what his money has pai l for, and has
not ordered a discontinuance, in season, lie is held
indebted for another volume. This will explain the
reason why some of our subscribers have lately received
notice that they are indebted for their subscriptions,
when they may not have calculated on paying till the
end of the term. We cannot do business on any
other principle than advance payments; and we hope,
therefore, that our friends will acquiesce in an arrange
ment which ought to be mutually satisfactory to both
parties. If any are, however, unwilling to comply
with the conditions, they can have their subscriptions
terminate any moment all arrears are settled.

ircail Failures.
We never knew so many failures of the mails in
succession. Day alter day tlie placards at our city Post
Office announce the fact of “no Northern mail,” or no
Savannah mail-” as the.ease may be, until the patience
nf our commercial citizens is well nigh exhausted, with
repeated disappointments. Recently, h tiers have been
out fourteen days front New York, and as to pap rs.
why, they are no wh re. In truth, we are without
news from any quarter. We believe, however, though
not officially advised of the fact, that Milledgeville still
stands and the Legislature is still in session, but when
they will adjourn we have no intimation.
From Washington city we get nothing. Not a single
public dispatch lias yet been received at this office from
any of our Senators or Representatives ! They treat
us with sovereign contempt! Well ! It will be our
turn, next time. We ask no favors that we cannot re
ciprocate.
From Milledgeville we gather nothing directly, and
are indebted to tlie Southern Recorder and other pa
pers for our gleanings of Legislative proceedings.
Our readers will therefore find our apology in these
circumstances, for any lack of interest in the way of
news, in the present issue, say nothing of Ihe bother
which every editor lias to submit to, in holyday times,
when the duties of Devil, .Tour, Foreman, Financier,
and Editor fill devolve in ‘‘double distilled” perplexity
upon the “Boss” of the establishment.
The Election To-day.
It is incumbent on every friend of “ law and order”
to rally to the polls this day, with a determination t<>
elect the ticket for Mayor and Aldermen, which is
found above. The interests of the City could not well
be confided to abler or safer hands. They arc all men
of intelligence, integrity, and experience, whose inter
ests arc identified with the place, and who, while
laboring to promote the prosperity of the people, will
be promoting, also, their own individual benefit.
In Mr. Elijah Bond, the candidate of the Union
party for Mayor, we have a gentleman of sound prac
tical views and unimpeachable integrity, whose eleva
tion to the Chief Magistracy cannot fail to have a
happy effect upon the welfare of the City.
The sober, reflecting, and moral men of the commu
nity should vote for him, because he will not engage
in the degrading electioneering practice of putting
poison into men’s mouths, to “steal away their brains
The mechanics and manufacturers should vote for
him, because it is to his exertions the Macon Steam
Manufactory has been established attd put in successful
operation. Y\ hen the project was about to be aban
doned, Mr. Bond was “the man who put his shoulders
to the wheel, and secured the necessary aid to complete
an enterprise so important to the City.
The opponents of “ mob him ” and misrule should
vote for him, because he never mixed himself up with
anything of the sort, or allowed his name to go forth
to the world, as sanctioning unlawful proceedings
against his fellow citizens.
And lastly, the friends of the poor and needy should
vote for the Deacon, because his active benevolence
has ever been efficient in assisting the depressed and
alleviating the miseries of his fellow creatures. No
man has a heart more keenly alive to misfortune, nor a
hand more ready to obey the dictates of a benevolent
spirit.
Let us then, one and all, readers, do ourselves the
honor of voting for Elijah Bond, for Mayor, and thus
signify our just appreciation of a worthy mail and
good citizen.
Central Race Course.
The patrons of the Turf will be pleased to hear that
the Central Race Course, near this Citv, is about to
be put in complete equipment for a series of annual
races, to come off ever) - spring of the year. The first
races are set down for the 3d of March ; and it is
expected that the best stables of the South will be
represented on the occasion.

“Out of the Woods!”
Our “ Double X ” Knight of the Spatula and Pill
box, we are informed, has got his election so dead , that
he has quit electioneering for himself and has taken the
field for a friend, who is up for the Marshnlship! It
is the boast of liimself and friends, we hear, that the
Irish and Dutch will support him en masse —the for
mer through love of the ‘'crayther’’ liberally furnish*
nished by the candidate, and the latter through “fader
land sympathies in his favor. This may be so, but
we shall not believe it, till the ballot box reveals the fact.
We think it a libel upon the patriotic Union Irish,
German and Dutch voters of the city to say or sup
pose that they can be blarneyed or bought to support a
political opponent after any such fashion. If any are
so foolish, they deserve not the blessings of freedom
which they enjoy, under our benign laws and Institu
tions.
Disgrace wiped out.- -Our readers will recol
lect that Gov. Towns had a block of marble prepared
and forwarded to Washington, to be placed in the
National Monument, and bearing the inscription “ The
Constitution as it is—the Union as it inns.'’ An act
so disgraceful to Georgia excited much indignation, at
the time, because of the false position in which tile
State was thereby placed, by his ex-Excellency. We
notice that the present Legislature have ordered said
block to be withdrawn, and another, with the “ coat
of arms’’ of Georgia inscribed thereon, substituted in
its place. This is as it should be! The State will
thus he redeemed from the disgrace of the act which
Gov. Towns perpetrated.
For the Georgia Citizen.
“He ns list turn out and electioneer.”
Shall the principle be established that to be el< cte.lf
to the highest office within the gift of the city, the can
didate, whose exemplary character through life is re
fered to. as a model (or imita’ion, must leave the bosom
of his family and revel, in the dead hour of night,
where the light of day would bring a blush upon his
cheek ? To roll and tumble, and be slobbered upon
by inebriates, —to unloose his purse strings for the en
couragement of vice and immorality, with the innum
erable other evils consequent upon the degrading busi
ness of “ turning out and electioneering? - ’ Shall such
a principle be established? Let the freemen of Ma
con this day answer! SOBRIETY
The New Tax Law.
We are gratified, exceedingly, at the passing of the
new ad valorem Tax Bill by the House, ft is strange
that the people of Georgia have so long submitted to
•he inequalities and burdens of the old system. Even
those sections of the State, which have heretofore beer,
almost exempt from the operation of taxation, but
which have been all the while prospering at the ex
pense of other parts, should feel it a matter of honest
pride and patriotism, now to acquiesce cheerfully in a
change based on the equal rights of all parties. In
another column will be found an article, on this sub
ject, from the Savannah Republican, which is conclu
sive as to the justice and expediency of the new Bill.

A Tough Customer.
The Mississippi ‘Union’ gives the following
description of one of Ins runaway defaulting subscri
bers. We publish it for the benefit of some few ‘of the
same sort who have some liovv found a place on our
subscription book. One ot these, who has taken our
I‘aper from the Post Office, of this city, for three
fourths ot a year past, lias suddenly vamosed to parts
unknown, leaving us minus $2 50. We will give his
name, in lull, one of these days unless he forks over!
J lie subject ol this sketch is an unmitiga
ted scamj', always was, and ten to one, would
be ti sate bet that he always will be—lias a
hang dog look, (the same that all have, who
run away and client the printer,) cross eyes, and
take him any way you could fix him, he is not
worth to anybody, much less to his family, the
powder tiiat would blow him into a wanner re
gion than this. He commenced his career of
meanness before he was big enough to wear
button-up-and-down-behind-clothes by stealing
and sucking hen's eggs, for which he received the
appropriate name ot ‘Snckegg Jack.’ As lie
progressed in years so lie did in wickedness, for
at the age of seven he cussed like a pirate,
chewed tobacco, let cattle into tbe neighbor's
corn fields, who set dogs on him for stealing
water melons, and played marbles on Sun
days, with a stake of stolen goose eggs. At
twelve, he stole a ‘a hunk ov gungerbread’ from
a blind apple woman, and because she made a
fuss about it. tripped her up and pelted her
with her own apples, to learn her better than
to insult a gentleman. At thirteen, he com
menced studying for a gambler, by learning to
turn jack, mark cards, and other items eon
nected with the game of Old Sledge.’ The
same year he lost his dad’s shot gun on a horse
race, for which the old gent attempted to whip
him, but could’nt catch him for reason of sweet
potatoes, little pumpkins, and sour apples liv
ing about bis head, forwarded with great swift
ness by Doe, tbe vouuger. That night he took
the old gentleman’s best horse, and went out
o! his sight where he has remained ever since. ’
