“ Well, look here Jake—if you want to court

The First kiss.
My lips to rest on manhood’s brow ?
‘Nay, ask me not —how could I bring
A maiden may not lightly fling
Tier timid nature oft’—and thou,
Caressed as thou art wont to he,
| What were a kiss of mine to thee ?
‘And thou wouldst think that I had press and
Another's cheek as soon as thine,
Should I allow my lips to rest
(Even lightly as on hallowed shrine
The trembling lips of devotee)
On thine, as pledge of love to thee.’
But then some words of gentle sound
Were whispered to the maiden s heart;
She could not bear his love to wound—
The hour had come when they must part;
And she was young, and fond, and true ;
What could the gentle maiden do ?
The spell is broken —she has laid
Her trembling lips against his cheek ;
On her’s there is a deeper shade
Os crimson, but she does not speak ;
Her voice is hushed —her voice is still—
:Tis given half without her will.
Coast Survey Office, )
Jan. 27, 1853. f
Sir : Having reported, as the result of a survey
of Pot Bock, at Hell Gate, New York, after the
blasting there, that the rocks had been reduced front
eight feet mean low water to twenty and a half feet,
I have now the honor to state that a subsequent
survey, by Major Fraser, of the Corps of Engineers,
in charge f the removal of the rocks in Ilell Gate,
under the approbation contained in a bill approved
August 1. 1852, showed but eighteen feet on this
rock ; and that one made recently, and after addi
tional blasting, gives a depth at three points of less
than twenty f et: and the present least depth at
mean low water <>n the rock a little over nineteen feet.
According to Major Krasi r,‘there is probably now
but a ve.*\ small part of the rock higher than the
plane of twenty feet reference, ’
1 w ..aid respectfully request authority to publish
this statement.

Advice to Counsel. There is a wet! known cus
tom prevailing in our Criminal Court of assigning
counsel to such prisoners as have m> one to defend
them. On one occasion the court, finding a man ac
cused for theft, and without counsel, said to a lawyer
who was present, ‘Mr. , please to withdraw v- ith
the prisoner, confer with him and then give him such
counsel as may he best for bis interest.’ The lawyer
and his client then withdrew, and in fifteen or twenty
minutes the lawyer returned into court. ‘Where is
the prisoner ?’ r.sked the court, ‘lie is gone, your
honor V said the legal ‘limb.’ ‘Your honor told me to
give him the best advice for his interest, and he said
he was guilty, l thought the best counsel I could af
ford likn was to ‘cut and run,’ which he took at once.

The Wife’s Universal Rival. — It mint ever be
borne iu mind that man’s love, even in its happiest
csercbe, is not like woman’s ; for while she employs
herself through every hour in fondly weaving one
beloved image into all tier thoughts, he gives to her
comparatively few of his, and those perhaps not the
loftiest nor the best. It is a wise beginning, then, for
every married woman to make up her mind to be
forgotten through the greater part of every day ; to
make up her mind to many rivals, too, in her hus
band’ “ I h not in his love; and among

Advertising, —Ear. who bought his Museum j
in New York ten or twelve years ago, when he was j
not worth a dollar, and is n.>w a ‘millionaire ’ thus i
sets forth the wav to niaxo money ;
‘Advertise your business. Do not hide* your light
under a bushel. \\ hatever your occupation or cal
ling may be, if it needs support from the public, ad
vertise thoroughly and efficiently, in some shape or
other; that will arrest public attention. I freely eon
■ess that what success 1 have had in life may fairly be
attributed more to the public pre-ss than to nearly all
other causes combined. There mav possibly be oc
cupations that do not require advertising, but 1 cannot
well conceive what they are. Men in business will
sometimes tell you that they have tried advertising,
and that it did not pay. This is when advertising is
done sparingly and grudgingly. lJomoepathic doses
of advertising will not pay, perhaps; it is like h

lor their papers, are considered as prompt men and
worthy of confidence. We had a person come into
| our office the other day and say—
‘Do you send the paper to Mr. W. ?’
W e replied that we did.
‘Well,’ said the man. he owes me JCS, and I can’t
’ get it ; I don t think lie's good.’
\\ e looked secretly at his account, and found him
paid up. We then replied to the enquirer. ‘That man
is good. Your debt is safe. lie mav have forgotten
j it, or something else may have prevent, and his paying.
; but he is good.’
The man’s eyes brightened. Said he,‘l have writ

took a paper. I thought of you and said 1 would
come here.’ Said he again after a pause, ‘This is the
way to find out whether people are good. We ascer
tain what papers they take, and contrive some way to
peep into their accounts. Men who are good are very
sure to pay for their newspapers ; and if they do not
pay fur these, we don't think them good. We were
forcibly struck by the idea.
‘Well,’ said he, ‘1 will send my bill by the post.’
In a few days the person cante in again. Said he,
! ‘I sent my bill.’
j ‘Well, did lie pay you ?’
‘Yes, sir,’ and opening his hand he showed us the

A Faithful Servant. —The Ncw-Orleans Picayune
states that a gentleman traveling down ilie Missis
sippi, not long since, became acquainted on the boat
with a lady, who with her six children, was on her
way to California. She had only oik* servant, a color
ed man, who had gone to California alone, worked
hard, and sent SI,OOO to his mistress, to enable her and
her little ones to come out to the iur-distunt gold
region.
A eky Little Use.—ln a certain town, situ
ated somewhere in that portion of the Union,
designated by the comprehensive title of ‘Down
South,’ some ot the citizens a year or two since,
indulged rather strongly in the pastime famil
iarly known as ‘poker.’ Indeed, sn far was their
fondness for this amusement carried, that it
began to bo noticed by the church-going part
of tbe community, who. whenever the subject
was mentioned, gravely shook their head-, and
hoped that no barm might come of it. but it
certainly did look bad.’ ‘were very much afraid
it wouldn’t end well,’ Ac.
At length finding hints and private t dmoni
tions of no avail, prayers were publicly offered
up in church for the delivery of the delinquents
out of the darkness in which they were envel
oped.
Some time afterwards, of the offenders
met a comrade in the street. Hallo F. what
do you think ! They actually prayed for us
last Sunday before the whole congregation.’
‘Yes,’said P. ‘and precious little help their
prayers have been to me. Why hang me if 1
hav’nt lost more since they began with them
than lever did before !’—Palmetto Sentinel.
Long and extensive observation has brought
physiologists to the conclusion that first cousins
should never he married together. The facts I
which they have collected to sustain this opin- j
ion, are tire most unequivocal and important.;
God and nature forbids tin* bans. It is proved j
that where such alliances occur, the children I
from them are in some respects imbecile. There j
is, what physiologists call ‘an arrest of the j
normal developemcnt.’ There is not power to ,
complete the formation of a perfect h o he- I
ing. Hence it is found that one quartei . the |
children die early, about one quarter trie irn- j
perfectly formed in body, that is, they are horn, j
some without all their finger nails, some with- i
out hair, some deaf, some blind, some idiot- i
ic, Ac.
Sometimes the sad effects are seen only in
the body. The frame will be small and weak |
and sickly, while the mind seems strong and
bright. At other times the efforts seem con- \
fined to tbe mind. The mind will he* feeble I
and irregular, while the bodv seems developed
and athletic.; —Often times the sad consequen
ces are seen in the singularity of opinions held
by such persons.—Examine carefully, and you
will discover an obtuseness in receiving im
pressions, and peculiar obstinacy in holding on
to impressions which have been received.
Some children, from such marriages, show an
i:resistal.de desire to believe every thing, or
doubt every thing. They think qneedy, and
dress quecrly, and behave queetly; and yet.
all the while, appear to them elves to be think
ing, dressing and behaving exactly right.—l
heard Dr. Spurzhoirn, in the hist lecture he
ever delivered, say, ‘that the royal families of
Europe, who had married in and iu for sever
al generations, had. children who wen* little a
bove fool?.’
XdT’ We heard a very good anecdote, lately,
of a French tailor in New York. lb* had a
woman in his employ, an excellent hand, to
whom lie gave six dollars a week; but she
wanted her wages raised, and called upon the
Frenchman for that purpose, when the follow
ing dialogue took place :
‘Sir, 1 want my wages raised.’
‘All, Sally, you want more Vargent ? What
for you want more ? You ’ave evervting ver’
comfortable.’
‘ “\V ell, sir, the Dutchman over flic way Inis
offered me seven dollars,’
‘Ze Dutchman is one ombug, Sally !He no
pay you. I tell you what Ido. Ino give you
more money, mais; if you will marry me,
I will marry r you. I no give seven dollars, but
I make you one wife.’ And he did.— Godcy's
Lady's Book.
Whal the deuce did our forefathers do to kill
time and enjoy themselves? Without coffee,
how did they manage bi •akfast? Without to
bacco, what did they smoke ? Without stoves,
how did they keep warm? Without good
roads, how did they keep up sociality ? With
out potatoes, how did they get up a stew ?
And without soda water, how did thev work oil
‘last night's drunk.’ What did they’ do on ,
rainy days for newspapers ? and during the long
winter nights for penny magazines? Who’ll
answer and pay the postage? It any body, let
him forward by return mail.

Barnum is Sharp.—AYe havs always con
sidered Barnum about as sharp as they make
bin)—but the latest dodge ‘beats tbe Jews’ and
\ aukees too. We have received a circular
‘ (postage unpaid) containing a long prospectus
which it is worth ten dollars to publish, and
which our dear Iriend Barnum authorizes us
to publish “without charge.’ iu return he will
send us a copy of a magnificent illustrated (ta
per, worth three dollars, the price advertised
in the prospectus.
As Barnum is poor and we are rich, we will
make him a proposition—forgiving him the
two cents levied on us in postage, because with
other like sums similarly levied, it would a
mount to a hundred dollars out of his pocket—
no small sum f r a poor man like him. Our
proposition is;
1. To do all the advertising Mr. B. may de
sire, at the regular r;it.*s, adding to our bills
tin* postage.
| 2. To take bis Pic'orial, with its wood cut
• advertising Barnum’s future enterprise, at the
subscription price.
Now Brother Barnum, that’s the way you do
! business. And that’s the wav the press will do
; business, when it learns an important lesson—
namely, that it has as yet been a free jackass
lor every adventurer to ride on, into power, into
place, and into fortune—kicked bv fools at.d
buffeted bv puppies—while almost denied a
bare boiled subsistence on chips and whet
stones ; others reaping the harvests.
I M hen this lesson is learned, the press ui-|
be a bit more independent, and its pioprietois
a lit:le richer.

Hams and Sausages.
Messrs. Editors: As the publication of the
j following receipts for curing hums and making
| sausages, at this particular sett-on, may be of
some sen ice to your numerous readers, vou are
! a* liberty to do so, with the assurance, when
rightly attended to, that first rate articles of
their kind will l><- the result.
To every 400 lbs. of Meat , make a brine of
j the following: 8 lbs. of salt; 2 lbs. of brown
j sugar: 2 oz. saltpetre; 1 1 2 oz. pot or pearl
a-11 ; 2 oz. all-spice ; l oz. red pepper : 4 gallons
water.
Let the meat be cool after being cut, at least
for one day or night. Back in tight, casks, and
! then cover the meat (which should have sufli-
I cienl weight to prevent it* tl ating) with brine
j made as ab* ve. Let it remain from four to -ix
1 weeks, according to weather and size. Have
each piece thin rinsed in fre-h water, hung up,
; and let it dry toi one week before smoking
! which should not be longer than ten da vs. when
1 each ham should la* put in bags and hung up
| for use, taking rate that every ham should be
boiled one hour for every four pounds weight
’ before u-ing.
Sausages —To every 100 lbs. of meat, after
being well prepared, mix tbe following: 1 3 4
lbs. fine salt; 1 lb. black pepper; 1-8 lb. pul
verised or nicely chopped up green sage.
When tie* sausages are intended to be kept
! for anv length of time, add 1 oz. of* saltpetre
j to every 100 lbs., or in proportion to quantity.
1 would remark that a brine prepared as for
liaiiis will produce the finest corned beef alter
being in some ten days, and will never get too
salt l.y remaining in the brine.— Old Mary

Don’t Stand on the Track. —‘The. train,’
s us a i ail road Gazette,‘may steal suddenly up
on you. and then a little trepidation, slight mis
: step, asiipol the toot, and we shudder to think
of your crushed and bleeding body.’ So it i*
i:i tin* journey of life; perils are around you on
every band. int don’t stand in their path and
defy them; don’t stand in their path and disre
gard them. Perhaps you now and then taken
little intoxicating drink. My friend, il so, you
are * standing on the track,’ while the ear of re
tribution comes thundering on—moving iu a
tight line—approaching with steady and rapid
w heels. Uil it not bear down and crush vou ?
Perhaps you spend an occasional evening with
a party of friends, amusing yourselves with
ea-d- or dice, staking small sums to make the
game interesting, Mv friend, ‘ you ;ne stand
ing on the track.’ Thousand.- have stood there
and perished. Don’t wait to hear the rattling
of the rushing wheels, but fly from ttic track.
At a safe distance, stand and view the wrecks
which yon ponderous train will spread before
you. Look well to the ground on which you
plant vour feet, and forget not for these many
days our parting words, * Don't stand on the
j track.’
A Light Beard, —"Can’t vou take off my
bairil 1 here ?’ said a grave, tall, slab-sided Yan
kee, to an Albany barber; feeling at. the same
time, his chin, with a noise like a grater ; It’s a
light baird; what and yer tax ? Three cents for
a light baird, ain’t it!’
•Yes.’
‘Waal. go ahead then.’
M Idle the barber was rasping ‘three cents’
worth’ from a chin, bis ‘sitter’ saw an assistant
putting cologne upon a customer's hair, through
a quill in the cork of a bottle.
“Look’e here, squire,’ said the Yankee, ‘can’t
you squirt some o that pepper sarse on tny head,
tew ? Say, can’t you throw a little o’ that in,
for the three cents ?’ .
An Equivocal Comi’Umknt.—A friend was
complimenting Madame Denis on the admira
ble manner in which she played Zaire. ‘ln or
der to play the part well’ said Madame Denis,
’ ‘an actress should be young and pretty.’ ‘Alt!
Madame,’ ingeniously rejoined the complirnen
tor, ‘you are a living proof of the contrary.’
A Satisfactory Explanation.—A ladv, on
beinji told that the skull shown to her tit the
British .Museum was that of Oliver Cromwell,
observed thst it was strange, as she had seen
another skull of the usurper in the Oxford Mu
seum, which was much larger. Y es. madam,’
said the conductor, ‘but our specimen is that
of his skull when he was very young!’ ,

Dear Doctor: —YY lien I left Macon last week—

letl YY asliington city some five weeks ago, aixl the cold
winter lias followed me up to this date ; but having
arrived here, 1 find so line and healthy a place, and
there having been a ‘change for the better,’ in the at
mosphere, that 1 cannot decline stopping for a time.
1 had a time en route from Macon to Columbus, or
rather from Oglethorpe to the Muscogee R. 1.—25
miles staging. ] got the uwjullest shaking up on that
stage that 1 ever got in my life; but it was an advan

“agreeable young lady,’ but this trip I and friend (male)
were seated iu the old close stage—for it was cold—
and took it cold shouldered.’ Rut never mind, this
little break will soon be obviated, for there wilt soon
be a continuous railroad from this city to Macon
which will make it a short and pleasant trip.

A Western Silk Factory.
The editor of the Cleveland Herald, being on a
visit to H heeling, thus describes a large silk factory
there :
Not the least interesting of Wheeling manufacto
ries is the Silk Factory of John \V. Gill, Esq. He
commenced the culture and manufacture oi silk at
Mount Pleasant, Ohio, some twelve vears ago, and
removed his establishment to Wheeling in 154.5. Mis
establishment is tbe largest of the kind in the United
Slates, employs a capital *>f $20,000, and Mr. G.
manufactures about $15,000 worth of silks per annum,
lie would manufacture much more extensively, but
lor the difficulty in obtaining stock. He buys all the
i American cocoons and reeled silk he can get, but can
I only keep his looms in operation about three months
ot the twelve. Mr. G. attributes tbe slow progress of
j silk-growti'g iu ibis country to the mores niultieaulis
speculation, which disgusted every body with the busi
ness. lie records the morns niultieaulis as worthless,
l'lie \\ bite Mulberry is found to be the best for feed
ing silk worms, and it is hardy and of rapid growth.
Mr. G. says an acre of the mulberry will nett a fam
ily SIOO a year for raising cocoons, and the labor can
’ be performed by women and children in six weeks.
The worms do not need artificial heat, ami no extraor
dinary attention in the Ohio Y’alley climate. The
quantity of cocoons raised is now increasing ; and
Mr. G., who is an enterprising gentleman of great
wealth, is resolved to continue the manufacture of
silk, not as a matter of profit, but, if possible, to induce
a more general attention to the American silk busi
ness. We can and should become independent of
Europe in silk fabric*.
Mr. Gill lias thoroughly tested the capacity of the
United States to produce and manufacture silk, and
he is satisfied that no country is better adapted to
the business than the valley of the Ohio, lie lias
manufactured every variety of staple silk, embracing
satins, velvets, dress silks, hat and coat plushes, bro
cades, vestings, levantines, surges, florentines, (lag
silks, handkerchiefs, scarfs, cravats, gloves, stocks,
shirts, sewing silks, coach laeo and trimmings, tassels,
twist, buttons, etc., to the value some seasons 01'525,-
000, and the first premiums have been awarded to
bis goods, wherever they have been exhibited.
Many will recollect the fine display of American
Silks at the last Ohio State Fair, from Mr. Gill’s
Factory. An incident is related that shows how in
credulous even Custom House officers are that Ameri
can silks can equal foreign. Mr. Gill sent specimens
of his silks to California. A portion were returned
to Mr. G., and at the N. Y. Custom House the duties
on foreign silks were demanded. The officer was
assured they were of American growth and Wheeling
manufacture, but he could not believe that the best
French ami Italian silks were made in Wheeling.
The goods were seized, but on proper evidence Mr.
Corwin ordered their release.

Postponement,
On account of the failure of the Charleston Boat to
arrive at Savannah in season, on Thursday, the
CONCERT of OLE BULL, in Macon, is unavoidably
postponed until Monday evening. Feb. 14th.
TSi C Passenger Depot.— A very numerously
signed petition went up to Council last evening, pro
testing against the proposed change in the site of the
Passenger Depot in this oity, which protest wo hope
will he heeded by tlto ‘powers that he,’ We also
learn that Mr. Cuvier, President of the Central Bail
road, has given his decision in favor of the location at
the crossing of Mulbery and GtSi street, below the
Court House, as provided by the agreement of the
Council with the Railroad Companies. If this be so,
the question may be considered settled for the present.
I tided, we think, that the grant, by the city authori
ties, of the privilege to the Companies of using one
street for Depot purposes cannot he construed into a
grant of another and different street, for the same
purpose, without the consent of the people. That con
sent, therefore, being withheld, it is not probable that
there will he any further attempt te change the site of
the Depot. To all which we say, amen.
The Concert, Monday Night.
It is needless for us to say a word, to draw attention
to the concert of next Monday night. The fame of
Ole Hull and his troupe of distinguished artistes is
already as extensive as the continents of Europe and
America. The renowned Norwegian is the genius of
it century, no age producing two such musical phe
nomena. It is said that Ole Bull approaches nearer
the immortal Paganini than any Violinist has ever yet
done, and as a consequence his concerts tire invariably
thronged with the elite of every community which he
honors with a visit. In Richmond, Va. the excite
ment was intense to hear him and very many persons
were debarred the pleasure, from the impossibility of
procuring seats, at any price, at either of his two con
certs in that eitv. ‘ihe entire proceeds of these con
certs are pledged to the establishment of a Norwegian
Colony in this country, the foundation of which has
already been laid by Ole Bull in northern Pennsylva
nia. The cause is a noble one and added to this the
fact that this is the last musical tour of Ole Hull in
this country, and we have said enough we think, to
induce an overflowing audianee, without remind
ing our readers that Maurice Strnkosch and Amelia
Patti Strakosch, he an eminent Pianist and she a
distinguished Vocalist will assist Ole Bull on the occa
sion. Let not this last opportunity of hearing hnusic
that is music’ then he lost by the lovers of the divine
art.

*> formed Medical Conveuiion.
Gii Wednesday the Anuual Session of the ;
Botanico-Medical Society of Georgia, met in
this city, agreeably to adjournment, and for the
transaction of the business appertaining to the
welfare and advancement of their profession.—
At this time the ‘ Reformers ’ have met, under 1
more auspicious circumstances, than at any
previous period. They have, by the bounty of
the Legislature and the liberality of the city of
Macon and friends of the cause, been enabled
to procure an elligible situation for their ope
rations, and a splendid building for College pur
poses. Having thus secured all the pre-requi
sites ot a suitable establishment, and being pro
vided with an efficient Faculty and lioard, the
Georgia Botanies may now be said to be fair
ly on the tide which leadetli to fame and for
tune.
During the session just closed a respectable
class ot young gentlemen have been in attend
ance on the Lectures, on seven of whom the
degree of Doctor ot Medicine was conferred, on
Ibursday, and temporary License on numer
ous others. On Wednesday evening, the an
niversary ot the birth of Samuel Thomson, the
annual Soiree and supper came off at the Col
lege, on which occasion, some sixty or seventy
gentlemen, Professors, students and invited
guests,sat down to a sumptuous repast, and in
terchanged congratulations on the flattering
prospects before them and the Institution.—
Prof. 1. N. Loomis presided at the Board and
delivered a neat and appropriate address to the
assembly. Alter which a demonstration was
made upon the edibles provided, which subject
being properly discussed, the evening was spent
till nearly the “small hours,” in speeches and
sentiments from Professors Coxe, Coming.
Bankston and other gentlemen of the party. —
1 here were some rich passages in these per
formances which we regret we have not time to
fully elucidate before the eye of the reader. —
As an invited guest, however, we only do jus
tice to the occasion, by recording the great
pleasure we derived from an evening spent
with the Medical Reformers. If others were as
much entertained as we were, there were not
many cobwebs left that night to encumber the
temple of the brain or shroud the sensoriutns of
those present with the pall of dullness.

been furnished us by the Secretary, but we have

Horrid Murder.
“ iieli* to break the chains of the tyrant,
RUM ! ”
Perky, Feb. 9, 1853.
L. F. W. Andrews, Esq: — A man by the
name of V\ illiain F. Taylor, was murdered in
this place on Saturday evening last, bv a lad
named George NV. Hay. It seems that Taylor
being intoxicated, had run againd young Ray’s
buggy, which was standing partly across the
street, thereby breaking the axletree. ‘The sit
uation ot the buggy in the narrow portion of
the street rendered it impossible, even for a so
ber man to pass without coming in close con
tact with the buggy. Taylor passed on totallv
unconscious that lie bad done any injury.—
Pay, who was in a grocery near by, came out
aud seeing the condition of his buggy, imme
diately followed in pursuit of the waggon which
he overtook, and seizing hold of the leading
horse by the biulie, demanded pay for the in
jury. Taylor told him he was able to pay for
it; it iie had broken it. Ray said with an oath,
it he did not pay for ii there, he would whip
him. Taylor then got down from his waggon
and attempted to get out his waggon-hatn
, mer.
Bay, in the meantime, had gone to a pile of
loose boards, and selected a heavy piece about
six feet in length—came back to the waggon,
as Taylor was coining from behind his mules—
T. not succeeding in getting the hamu *r. —
Bay then struck him with the board edgewise,
which Taylor partly warded oft’with hi* arm,
-although it felled him to the ground. The lad
then stiuck him two more blows on the side* of
the head breaking in the skull. Taylor lived
tdl two o’clock Sunday morning—lie was about
sixty years ot age. Bay was only nineteen—
lie was committed to jail oh Tuesday tv. await
his trial, which coiu.es on in March. Bay was
rather the worse for liquor himself.

The Coming Cabinet.
Nobody seems to know any tiling in regard to tlie
coining Cabfuet ot General Pierce, wliiie tlie prevail
ing impression is that b*>lh the new President and his
party are likely to be exceedingly exercised in its
formation. It conceded, too, that .Mr. Dix. or some
gentleman equally identified with the Buffalo Plat Form
party, will occupy a prominent place, and that he
will be offset by some thorough-going Fire-eater and
Secessionist. Ii is also pretty generally conceded
that there is no place for Mr. Cobb, or Mr. Foote,
or Mr. Downs, or any Southern man who his distin
guished himself by the support of the Compromise
measures. It is settled, as we understand, that all
the latter class of individuals are to be proscribed,
and that only politicians rank with the odor of Sec
tionalism and DisuuitMiism are to be selected from
the South —such, for instance, as Jefferson Davis, or
Mr. Venable, or Mr. Soule.
Never were a set of men so miserably deceived
and deluded as those who were deterred at the late
election by the humbug outcry of ‘Sewardism’ from
voting for General Scott. If the General had been
elected, we should have had a thoroughly national
Cabinet, without any mixture of Secession or Aboli
tion. They would have been true and tried 1/uion
men. As it is, we are bound by an inexorable polit
ical necessity to have a Cabinet in which the Disunion
elements will predominate. Not a Democrat who
has struggled and suffered in tbu Union ranks will
have any influence or favor in the new organization.
If any such is admitted to the Cabinet, he will be
overslaughed by his Disunion colleagues. The result
was obvious to every reflecting man before the elect ion,
and yet General Pierce was elected as a better Union
man than General Scott ! —Washington Republic.
Frauds oa the Triuicr.
The Tost Ofliee Department has, by law, exclusive
control over the transportation of mail matter, and for
tlie service done, exacts jt remuneration from the peo
ple who are served by ils agents and subordinates.—
There is then a contract on the part of government, for
a consideration, to deliver faithfully all documents en
trusted to its care, and it ought to be held responsible
for all losses incurred by its neglect of duty.
But it is not so. It is a ope sided affair, altogether,
and one of the h:gh contracting parties—the people—
has no redress for failure of government to deliver the
malls in due season. For example, we have just had
two of our subscribers to discontinue their subscriptions
because they cannot get their papers, at offices within
fifty miles of Macon, oftem-r than once a month ! \Ve
are therefore made to suffer loss on account of the ig
norance, carelessness or faithlessness of post office
agents, carriers and post masters.
Oar friends at Cool Spring and Danielsville, Ga.,
are assured that the “Citizen” has been regularly
mailed to their address and should be received regular
ly. But as it is not, we do not blame them for stop
ping their subscriptions. But it strikes us that the
Post Office Law should be so altered as to make the
Department responsible for all losses of this kind incur
red. It is a “ Common Carrier, ’’ and should be held
responsible as such, for the neglect or delinquencies of
its agents. Otherwise the publio will continue to be
cheated aud humbugged by its own government and
its own public servants. The evil calls loudly for a
speedy and efficient reform. Let us have it, Senators
and Representatives, in Congress assembled.
Australia. —The exports of breadstuff's from this
country to Australia are becoming important. During
the past week engagements for the transportation of
50,000 barrels of flower from New York to that col
ony were made, at the rate of 3 50 and $4 per barrel

a respectable citizen of the neighborhood of Shady
, Grove, Tw iggs eo., Ga., entered the house of t<*'°
unmarried ladies, viz. : Nancy and Eylphia C” and
with knife in hand, almost unceremoniously com
menced cutting the ladies, inflicting three considerable
wounds upon the younger, Kylpha, when the elder
fled, but was caught hy thenegro, in the yard, “ho
cut her seriously, in several places. Both are badly
j hurt, and some anxiety prevails in regard to the recov-
I ery of the latter. They have always stood deservedly
high in society, commanding the respect, confidence.,
and esteem of all. They have now the public sym
! pathy and condolence, while universal indignation
directed against the fiendish author of this act of
violence. To murder was doubtless his design,which,
was defeated by the interference of a negro belonging
to a near neighbor, who, hearing the cries of the
ladies, ran to their assistance. The negro, upon his
approach, rau off, but was pursued, caught, and carried
before a magistrate, and upon trial, committed to
prison, to await his trial at the approaching term of
