Bad Memory.
The Washington Union has a remarkable faculty of
forgetting whatever circumstances may render incon
venient for it to recollect. Instance its denunciation
of Ex Secretary Clayton for ‘faithlessly violating his
trust,’ by consenting to British usurpation in Cen
tral America , in the face of its own article, written
April 24th, 1850, asserting and recognising the Brit
ish possession of Honduras. The Union thought it
no crime for Mr. Po'k to ‘consent to British usurpa
tion in Central America,’ but it was a ‘faithless viola
tion of trust’ in Secretary Clayton to do so !
Here is whati the Unian said in 1850 upon this
subject; it makes out a stronger title for Great Btitain
than Mr. Clayton or aay other Whig ever presumed
to do:
‘Mr. Hempstead was indeed appointed a Consul,
[by the administration of President Polk.] but not to
Mosquito. He was appointed a Consul to Belize,
some two or three hundred miles north of the Mos
quito coast. It is the capital of a small territory
called British Honduras, which has beau in pos
sessioa of the British for nearly two hundred years.
The possession of the English, although originally an
intrusion, was recognised by the Spanish Monarchs in
their several treaties, in all of which the British Gov
ernment solemnly relinquished all claim of sovereignty
over, or right of possession in, the other Spanish Pro
vinces of Central America.’
The Clayton-Bi'lwer Treaty.—The dis
cussion iu the Senate touching the understand
ing of Senators as to the bearing of the Clay
ton and Bulwer treaty was resumed yesterday,
says the National Intelligencer of the 13th in
stant, and apparently brought to a close.—
During its progress, Mr. Pearce, of Maryland,
read, the following note from lion. Wm. R.
King, relieving Mr. Clayton of imputations
that have been east upon him in connection
with the negotiation and ratification of the
treaty:
“Colonel King desires Mr. Pearce to say in
the Senate that it has not been his desire or in- 1
tention, in any thing which he lias been re- |
presented as saying in reference to die Clayton
and Bulwer treaty, to cast the slightest impu
tation on Mr. J. M. Clayton in reference to that
matter. On the contrary, he desires to do
Mr. Clayton the justice to say that he is con
vinced that in everything connected with that
treaty he (Mr. C.) was actuated by a patri- !
otic anxiety to protect the rights and inter- ;
ests of his country. Colonel King feels mor
tified, that anything said by hint, under a i
misrepresentation of the facts of the case j
should have been made the basis for unjust re
flections on Mr. Clayton.”
Will those journals that have showered un
measured abuse upon Mr. Clayton, because of
his supposed conduct in regard to this treaty, |
now do” him full justice in the premises ?
We really hope so. — M. O. Bulletin.
Advantages of Printings —Mr. B , a well
known metropolitan printer, once told us that
on one occasion an old woman from the coun
try came into his printing office with an old
Bible in he hand. “ I want,” said she, “ that
you should print it over ag’in. It’s gettrin’ a
Retie blurred, sorb of, and my eyes isn't wot
they wos. How much Jo you ax ? ” “Fifty
cents.’’ “Can you have it done in half an hour?
—wish you would : want to be gettin’ home:
live good ways out o’ teown."’ “Cettainly.” j
When the old lady went out, he sent round to’
the office of the Ameiican Bible Society and
purchased a copy for fifty Cents. “Lor 5 sakes
a-massy !” exclaimed the old lady, when she
came to look at it, “how good you’ve fixed it!—
it’s e’en-a’most as good as anew ! I never see
nothin’ so curious as w hat printin is V r
Scraping Acquaintance. — A friend at West
Point tells us a comical anecdote of a very dif
fident young clergyman, who had been invited
to dine with a professional brother, who also
kept a young ladies’ boarding school. lie was
introduced to a bevy of the fair pupils, in tlie 1
draw ing room, and among them to a Miss M , j
to whom he said, stammeringly *.: —A-a-a a —
Miss M , a-a-I-I I am not entirely unac
quainted with you. l-l I had the honor of
sleeping with your father a short time ago !’’ I
If this isn't a rich specimen of “scraping ac
quaintance,’’ we have never heard of one. It ;
beats “poor Power,’’ in the “Mau of Nerve,’’ all
to nothing.

Caloric vs. Steam.
A few of the advantages which Caloric has over
steam may be thus summed up :
1. The calorie engine burns about on.-tenth as
much fuel as a steam engine; henee a caloric ship of
the largest size may circumnavigate the globe wi'h> m
stopping t<- take in coal ; lienee, no*, a sail w ; ,l V

j steamc-i
-. No smoke whatever will issue from a ealoric fur
nace when anthracite coal is used, and consequently
no huge, unsightly smoke pipe will be necessary, and
! the rigging will be ns clean as that of a sailing ship.
5. There can be no bursting or collapsing of boilers,
for the simple reason that there will he no boilers to
burst. The worst accident that can happen to a ca
loric engine is for it to stop ; nor is watchfulness im*
peratively required, as in no ease can a dangerous ac
cident occur.
6. Owing to the extreme simplicity of the caloric
engine, the wear and tear will be very slight, and the
duration of the engine proportionably long.
Doiogs of (ounril.
Mr. Bditor : Please notice tlieproceeding
had at last meeting ol Council and explain, if
you can, what is meant by appointing a com
mittee to enquire into the pM.prmty ot closing
up or selling a portion of a public street. I
have always been under tin* impression that it
was the duty of Council to be vigilant in keep
ing streets open, and preventing tlieir obstruc
tions, and I am still so much impressed by that
opinion, that I would suggest, that before en
quiring of the Companies what they will
give , it would be best to know* of the property
holders what they will take, for 5 apprehend,
that in this matter they have a vwiee, and 1 am
much mistaken if they do not make it heard.
But whence this anxiety on the part of the
City to close up a street without being asked
to do so, or why is it, that a depot for passen
gers tm the nearest part of the lines to the prin
cipal hotels and the business part of the citv is
not satisfactory ? I confess these questions
puzzle me, but were the same anxiety felt and
show-ii by the Companies it would ail look very
plain. Will the gentlemen state, before taking
a vote on it, which side they are representing
and oblige an ENQUIRER.
The Passenger Depot.
Mr. Editor :—ln looking over the Telegraph
of Tuesday, I perceive a member of the Citv
Council has oftered a resolution to change the
location of the “ passenger depot.’’ Now sir.
to one not familiar with the municipal history
ot Macon, it might be a matter of profound as
| toni-hment to find one thus proposing to vote
away the rights of our citizens after this whole
! s aR fashion, for the benefit of Railroad corpo
rations. A little knowledge of the past, how
ever, should only make us feel thankful for that
modesty which prevented the mover of this
; resolution from proposing to make a full “ do
nation ot the city, to the Railroad, and thus
; yield up its ghost w ithout further concernment,
j The location of a passenger depot has long
’ since been a matter of contract with the Rail
road corporal ions. The site of this depot, was
a “sine qua non’’ to the con 1 met. Now, relv
ing upon the good faith of the t i'y ami con
’ cil, ciiizens have proceeded to purchase pro r
ty in the vicinity of this location at
prices, and now forsooth, because it .. ij,
i interest or inclination of tin s.- co up
! citizen must be sacrificed !o Rat to
; tions, his interest is not at all to
ed —011 no! he lias no righto ir < *;.
I protected, no interests to be re; <0 !. *
will our City Courted learn to pm’ ..1 out
pirate upon the people of ‘ : At we
j never to have any public t \i,\ -etth-d
i policy ? Any common cons. nv mu
i nicipal integrity ? Are we • govern
ed by whim and caprice? * i..-,- •.w ay, or
fawning sycophancy to mo; 1 . i- ; V, >;it
inducement can a citizen 1 vl have, i u
]>urchase property, make it. -'i> its j f f( -al
| estate, and build up the city, it can not de
pend upon the public faith of the city ? Is there
] any one too obtuse to see that he cannot rely
upon the municipal powers that be? Is it not
already proposed, with a feeble and sickly ca
priciousness, to vote away public faith, and
private property, with a wild ahandoinent, that
would perfectly a-touish a Cuban Filibuster ?
How long is Macon to be mis-represented ?
■ When w ill she build for herself a public policy?
When will she create a public faith? When
maintain a respectable individuality ? When
create tespect for herself, by throwing oft’ vas
sellage t; ex-urban influences ?
It is high time to impress upon the minds
of our city authorities, that they were elected
to protect and not to prey upon our citizens,
and if th**y can neither uiid-tsraiid the morali
ty *>f this doctrine orrompr* ltetid the rationale
, of iis policy, in ti e nanm of common sense
Let them “ as-a me a virtue, if tln-v have it not,’’
and resign to give place to those who can.
As regards the plat** for the “passenger
I depot,” it is ju t as la>ge now as when the
j Goiitracfc (poor bantling!) was made. The
contract was made with all the lights before
them, and they were very happy to get it
,on these terms. If the same money had
been expended, in puieha-ing the property
around tin* sjiecifed location which they have
spent in purr hasing around the desired one ,
they might have had room to spare.

Pest Office Delinquencies.
Twiggs Cos., Ga.
Mr. Editor: —lt seems that the reduction in the
rates of postage, and the consequent abridgement of
the post masters’ profits, have produced a negligence,
carelessness and indifference on the part of the latter,
which is the more culpable as they are not the suffer
ers by it.
Complaints are perpetually being made to Editors j
as to the irregularity of their papers; and many a good !
subscriber hits been lost on account of not receiving :
with due promptitude und punctuality his paper, pub
lished in many instances within fifty miles of his office.
The editor invariably bears the brunt of it, as his sub
scriber naturally supposes that if tlie paper had been
duly mailed it would have reached him in proper sea
son. Subscribers have grumbled until grumbling alone
4 ceased to be a virtue,’ and have finally stopped their
papers. Editors have complained and indulged in
fierce phillipics upon the degeneracy of the times in
general, and the mails in particular, while the Post
Masters coolly laugh in their sleeves tit both, and con
tinue, securely without reprehension or censure, their
depredations upon the rights of subscribers and the in
terests of editors. A man is coolly informed by the
-Hid;.! that somebody else, hedont refnembor who. has
taken his papers out already * or that lie himself has
ttiken them out to read anil mislaid them, or thzt they
didn’t come, when, in nine instances out of ten. his pa-
P**rs come as regularly as clock-wrk. And to one j
who takes a number of papers and periodicals, these* !
transgressions of authority on ti..- part of the Post
Master are annoying, ami to his interests and-those of
the editors frequently detrimental. lam myself* sub-
scribtT to ten papers, and having left the county and
returned within two months, was informed with the
greatest ‘ sangfroid,’ when applying for them immedi
ately upon my return, that my papers ‘ were scattered
to the four winds,’ —they having been .given or sold
to Tom, Dick and Harry or whoever chose to call for
them, together with books, magazines and other tran
sient matter transmitted to me by friends and editors,
a loss of which, together with sixty or seventy papers,
lias proved highly injurious to mein several respects.
Requests accomplish nothing • complaintsare una‘' -
ing; threats do no good, and if subscriber o

iiu*d- ‘ o i.munie.nions addressed——complaints pre

.,et is on the increase. It is the pt>st master’s privil-
I ege to self any printed matter remaining in the office
longer than three months, or to give it away at his
| °wn expense ; but to dispose of an individual’s papers,
books, pamphlets and magazines without his consent,
under any other circumstances is an undue assumption
I °f authority, and a piece of arrogant license, as ille
gitimate as it is ridiculously presumptive. Since I
have been a subscriber to the ‘ Citizen,’ I have failed
to obtain some ten or twelve numbers, and 1 have fre
quently heard persons remark that ‘ if they could get
off w ith the loss of one fourth of their papers, they
would consider themselves highly fortunate.’
Let those who are amply compensated for the per
formance of their official services in this department do
tlieir duty as it ought to be done, and regard the rights
and interests of those who are taxed for their salaries,
and the necessity tor such complaints would cease to
exist. yy

that a bucket of water was near by, when the flames

It embodies a tale of real life, by the authoress of

Morton,’ ‘The Dew Drop of the Sunny South,’ die
One object is to show the poverty and privations of a
large |\rtion of the laborers of the North, and to con
trast their condition with that of similar classes in the
Sontb. In other words, to teach the phillunthrnpist
the true duties which devolve upon him, and to open
his eyes to the misery and starvation that surround his
own home. The style is nnimated, graphic and often
eloquent. The incidents are novel and striking, and
the sketches are full of the deepest interest. It is pub
lished at a very fortunate period, as well for the au
thoress as the reader, and its circulation cannot be too

The business of the authoress, who is represented
as a young and talented widow , with two children to

and, as we judge from a cursory glance through its
pages is an interesting volume. The Charleston Mer

Ihe Infant Drummer. —This musical
wonder will be with us on Monday evening
next, and all the little folks as well as the
“old (oiks at home’’ .must be prepared to give
the little fellow a hearty welcome and a sub

afternoon Levees for the especial accommoda
l tion of children and schools, and we antiei
! pate that his rooms will be as crowded as
they were when “ Tom Thnmlf’’ was on exhi
bition here. And it ought to be so, for a
greater than Tom Thumb is Benson English.
Tom was a prodigy of littleness, Benson is a
prodigy of musical talent. Torn was a man
in miniature with nothing but his Li liputia
i nism to recommend him. Benson is an infant
’ in years and stature, but the equal of veterans
I in skill and performance on the drum. Tom
had a little body and a little mind. Benson
lis a little lump of genius—a musical phenom
enon—of rare intellectual endowment and sa
gacity. As curious then as was Tom Thumb,
even as one of the curiosities of nature he
cannot compare with Benson English. Go
and see that the half has not been told you re

A Cireeu Horn in search of a Marriage
License.
A verdant youth, (cousin perhaps to the heroes of
the 4 Bear Story,’ from Dooly.) lately came up to the
Court House village to procure a Marriage License.—
On calling at the Official’s Sanctum to get the papers,
lie found that the fee amounted to the sum 0f51,56j,
which to his vision seemed a mighty big p : le to plank
down for the privilege of getting spliced. lie howev
er paid it, though not without grumbling, mentally, at
the enormous sacrifice he was making. Full of the
subject he called upon an acquaintance, whom we shall
designate 4 Cullens,’ to consult him about the matter
and get a little 4 aid and sympathy ’ under the circum
stances, when the follow ing colloquy took place :
Calebs — 4 Look a here Cullens, they made me pay
sl,sfi| cents for this little scrap of paper—they did.’
Cullens —(ln apparent amazement) 4 You don’t
say so! Ccelcbs. That’s a downright imposition. If
you had gone to the 4 Drug Store ’ you could have got
just as many as you could have 4 toted ’ for thirty-seven
and a half cents, only they would not have been quite
as fine as this.’
Ccelebs —(Brightening up.) 4 Well well, dang it, I
don’t care for its being fine—a coarse pair will qo me
just as well. 1 wonder if they wont take this buck,
Cullens.’
Cullens — 4 Oh yes I dare say they will, if you will
insist upon it.’
Coclebs —‘ Here goes, any how, to see. A dollar
and eighteen cents is worth saving, and by golly, I’ll
make the Clerk fork over.’
So off went Verdant, in a leaping run, towards the
Clerk’s office, to excharge his License that cost so much
lor a pair of coarse ones , that suited him just as well.
How he made out, deponent sail ti not.

INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE.
From tJje 14 Fakir of Siva.”
CaLUMa* s, (Oa.> Jan. 24, 1853.
Editor CtUit .• -Jir ■V* hu) done me
great injuries in your oape r , by stating that
which is fal’- u.- ; leH itself—and I dare you,
or anv one r*L'e, to the proof of it.
fakir of siva.
I paid every hill I owed in Macon, and have
rt receipt in full. Yours, &c.
Will you do me justice ?
The Citizen to the “ Fakir of Siva.”
Most Royal Highness and Prince of Humbugs:
\ our polite letter, as above, received, and I
take shame to myself that I have not hitherto
done you that justice to which you seem to
think yourself entitled. Be it now my t..sk to
make the “amende honorable for all previous
delinquencies of which I may have been guilty.
Be it then known to ail to whom these pres
ents may come greeting, that you, the “ Fakir
of Siva,” alias Haskell , art a common cheat,
liar and swindler. I have been unjust to you
and the public iu not saying this much before.
You are a cheat in tha f , when dunned for un
paid bills contracted several years since as
Mr. Haskell, you denied your name was Has
kell, or that you had ever been through this
place, \on are a swindler because by some
hocus-pocus, the most valuable articles offered
in your lottery were never claimed by any one
of the audience, you having managed to draw
the corresponding number of the gold watch
yourselfl ou are a swindler further, because
you, by a pledge to the public, orally, and in
your printed programme, that the proceeds of
one night’s performance should be given to
the Ladies’ Sewing Society of the Baptist
Church, induced three or four hundred persons
to attend thus “raising the wind’’ by false
pretences and never designing to pay over one
cent of the said proceeds to the object spe
cified.
But this is not all, Mr. Fakir. You borrowed
that “ Canary’’ (which was drawn by one of
your auditory) for the last night’s performance,
under pretence that you wished it for some
experiment, and you sneaked off next morning
with the bird in your possession, although the
ow ner had provided a cage for its reception
at the door of the hall and you were duly no
tified of the fact.
Furthermore, Mr. Fakir, you cheated Mr.
McCarthy out of the price of five game and
oyster suppers sent to your hotel at an unsea
sonable hour! I acknowledge, sir, that I hare
done you injustice in not speaking out more
plainly than I did, last week, of these several
vi 11 anies perpetrated by you while in our citv —
vilianies which if you will venture your phiz
again in this latitude will be so proven upon
you as to justly consign you to the State Prison
for your natural life.
Again, may it please your royal Highness,
you have imposed upon the moral sense of the
people of this place l>y bringing foiward on
flie stage a female of doubtful reputation and
under a different name from that with which
her baggage was marked at Atlanta, llms
showing that you are an unprincipled wretch
that would stop at nothing mean, contempti
ble or deceptive.
Finally, may it please your royal Highness,
you are a “humbug’’ of the first water. —
Your whole show is a fraud upon the public
as it renders no valuable consideration—not
even the satisfaction of seeing a few’ paltry
tricks of legerdemain handsomely Hone, You
took near a thousand dollars out < f this town
for which you gave nothing in return, hut
falsehood and imposture. Asa harlequin,
you do not approximate to respectability.
Asa magician and ventriloquist you are less
Ilian the least —but as a sleight-of hand per
former (where you can find depositee to be re
moved) you are —l say it from a profound
sense of justice— yon are the most accomplish
ed chap I have seen for many a day.
With inWmdesV wishes for ■your welfare as
a “ picker of oakum” in some well regulated
State Institution, e’er many days elapse, I am
t ours to command,

Such another living mountain of humanity

held at the Council Chamber or Court House, on
Tuesday next, for that purpose.
Hand's C abinet library.
We have received from the publisher, Geo. C.
Rand, Boston, two volumes of his Cabinet Library,
“Famous men of modern times,’ and “Famous men of
ancient times.’ by the auther of Peter Parley’s Tales
the Rev. Mr. Goodrich, so long and favorably known
as a writer of School and Juvenile Books. The whole
series of the “Cabinet Library’ embraces 20 161110.
volumes, of over 300 pages, each, in uniform style of
print and binding, treats of 500 different subjects and
is illustrated by 500 engravings. It is an original se
ries recently written and completed. Six volumes
are devoted to Biography, six to History, five to Mis
cellany and three to Art, Enterprise, Manners and
Customs, the World and its inhabitants. Those vol
umes are just the tiling for family libraries and schools.
They are written in an interesting style and are suffi
ciently copious for all useful purposes. In fact the
knowledge contained ill these volumes, (judging the
eighteen to come, by the two received,) if mastered by
a youth, will make him skilled in the essentials of clas
sical lore, contained in a thousand volumes. In this
age of condensation of thought and action, the labors
of Peter Parley, in sifting the chaff from the wheat of
Literature should be properly appreciated. For ex
ample, in these two volumes, we have a biography of
25 of the distinguished ancients, such as Mahomed,
Seneca, Virgil, Ca-sar, Alexander, Demosthenes, Pla
to, Socrates, Diogenes, &e.,and of the following mod
erns viz: Walter Scott, Byron, Buonaparte, Goethe,
Milton, P>urko, Burns, Shakspenre, Ben Johnson,
and Cervantes. In no other form that we know of, can
so much valuable information be obtained. Lot our
Booksellers provide themselves w ith the series, if they
have not already done so.
