Health of Females.
We quote the following from an article by
Df. Wm. E. Coale, in the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal:
The tact that an English woman lives half a
century before she begins to wane, wliile our
females reach their prime mostly at a little
over half that age, and'that another lustrum
fiuds them on the decline, ought strongly to ar
rest our attention ami induce us to examine,
whether we are right in attributing all this dif
ference to climate, and whether we might not
find in some error of habits of early life, at
least a partial explanation of the disparity.
To be brief, then, after this preface—to
state broadly our convictions—we think that
it is a radical error to make a difference be
tween the physical training of a man-child
and of a woman-child before nature has made
a difference in their physical being. So long
as there are the same muscles to develop, the
same organs of digestion and assimilation to be
stimulated, the same apparatus of respiration to
be strengthened—so long should the means of
doing this be the same in each sex. A system
ot’ physical training so planned, should, we also
hold, only be varied as new functions come in
to play, which, in the further developement ot
the being, may require special care, and then,
we allow, that this training may be modified —
but then onlv so far and at such times as the
demand of the last may be paramount —no
longer and no further. We cannot but believe
that were the physical female under 12 years
of age looked upon in the light which we have
placed her, and that were the course we have
sketched out pursued in bringing her forward
to the use of womanhood, those uses would be
more properly performed and with far less wear
and teurbo the general system, than that which
it is now the daily pain of almost every physi
cian to witness, and which, indeed, often makes
her a wreck long before she had served the ul
timate physical use—her crowning office as a
mother.
We would go farther, and say that the same
error is made in her moral training also, and
with the close connection in view, between the
moral and physical being, this cannot be unim
portant. Her moral training should be such,
that, whiie it made her not less a woman, it
should enable her to rise above the hundreds of
arbitrary conventionalities that now in every
way fetter her—that mould every thought and
control every judgment —that under the names
of “propriety,” “refinement,” “custom,” “fash
ion,” exert an absolute tyranny over her from
the cradle to the coffin. This tyranny is bro
ken through, only in a few individual cases, and
then by a rebellion which, for want of the very
moral training that originally permitted the op
pression, is often so outre in its aspect as to ex
pose her to the charge of unsexing herself and
to render her if not repulsive, at least the ob
ject of ridicule and sarcasm. In short, we
wish that woman should be taught to know
her proprium and make herself fit to fill it —not
as the antagonist, in the slightest sense, but as
the complement of man, the other half of a
beautiful unity. While the physical training
we urge would never enable her to sing bass,
the moral training would never fit her for the
rostrum, the pulpit or the hustings; but, on the
contrary, it would enable her to see clearly her
unfitness for those; and still further, it would
enable her to see as clearly a hundred duties
around her, which are peculiarly hers as a wo
man, and the full and faithful performance of
which, would save her from that earking care,
that discontent, most often unrecognized by
herself, that listless aimlessness, that now saps
the moral, and necessarily the physical vitality
of hundreds of her sex—that wears them down
in mind and body—that brings them sick head
aches, crooked spines, flat chests, hysterics, pre
mature age.
Bovs, take tour Fun.- -Nothing equals a
boy, except a girl. The frolicking, harum-scar
um, high glee times of boyhood, happy they
were. Perhaps you never broke steers and
eolts, never slid down hill, over fences, across
the ice on the meadow, never skated among the
huge fires on the ten acre pond, on a dear win
ter's night, drawing the prettiest girl in all the
town after you holding on a stick. If you nev
er have, you never was a boy! How many
years does a man have to live to pile up tis much
happiness as jumpt out of a boy in a single
old-fashioned, gingerbread, molasses candy,
wrestling, bat and ball playing town meeting
day? Bring out your sleds and skates, roll up
your snow balls as huge .as Atlas, play “tag”
and make the most of your legs!
The iVcffro Law of Illinois.
The recent Legislature of said State have
passed a very stringent law in relation to
blacks. The active course of abolitionists is,
no doubt, the cause for tlie need of such meas
ures. Their jails and alms houses are crowded
with blacks, and to piotect themselves they
have found it necessary to adopt some plan to
lessen the evil. We give a synopsis:
Section first. A fine of from one to five
hundred dollars for aiding or bringing any
black into the State.
Section second provides for the indictment
and arrest ot non-residents who are guilty of
the same acts.
Section third provides against the entrance
ot a bond or free black to become a resident in
the State in a fine of fifty dollars for the first
offense.
Section fourth ordefll the culprit to be sold
it the hne is not paid forthwith, to defray the
expenses of the court, etc., until such expenses
are paid by service.
Section fifth, orders a second prosecution, if
the black does not leave in ten davs.
Section sixth gives to the negro the right of
appeal within five days on certain conditions.
Section seventh gives half the fine to the
complainant, while tlie other half is to be ap
plied for the-benefit of the poor.
Section eighth provides tor the return of the
black, (if proved to be a slave) to his master,
the latter paying the costs, etc.
Section ninth. If the Justice refuses to issue
the warrant on a proper’ application, he shall
answer for the crime of non-feasance, and be
punished accordingly; but if the jury find the
black not guilty under this act, the Justice may
prosecute the accusing for costs, etc.
Section tenth. Ever}” person who shall have
one-fourth negro blood shall be deemed a mu
lato.
Section eleventh. This act shall take effect
and be in force from aud after its passage.
Approved Feb. 12, 1853.
We do not doubt but that this law will
work well. The people of Illinois have no
liking for slavery, but they have less regard
for the efforts of abolitionists who are filling
the State with paupers, vagabonds, and blacks,
who have been induced to run away from their
masters and then thrown upon themselves.
03-An account has been published in the papers,
that the President elect rode from Baltimore in the
baggage early way of preserving his incognito , and
c n the instant the train stopped he sprang out upon
the platform, in such disguise, an aid coat , hat, and
face muffing handkerchief, as enabled him to pass
through the crowd of eager expectants, who thronged
the door*, without being recognized, though many of
his personal and intimate friends were there keenly
looking for him. The committees did not discover
that the game had eluded them, until the seedy look
ing hack, in which he had seated himseif. was on the
way to tbe City Hotel.’’

RECORD OF CRIME.
Shocking Murder.—The New York papers
contain the particulars of a most shocking
murder committed there oil Monday night a
week ago, by a man named Neary, on the per
son ot his wife. This murder is in some re
spects similar to the late tragedy at Philadel
phia. Neary, it appears, while in his sober
senses, deliberately beat bis wife about the
head with a stonecutter’s mallet and chisel un
til her skull was crushed in several places, and
she was rendered senseless, in which state she
remained until she died. The murder was
committed after the woman had gone to bed,
in the presence of her three children, who were
in bed in the same room. The eldest boy,
about fifteen years of age, testified against his
father in a firm, straightforward manner.
Serious Altercation at the University
of Virginia.— We are informed that an alter
cation of a very serious nature occurred at
Mr. Brooks’ boarding house, near the Univer
sity, Charlottesville, on Tuesday afternoon last,
between Messrs. J. S. Mosby and George W T *
lurpin, students at the University. The latter
received a pistol ball in his neck, which passed
between tlie jugular vein and some large artery,
and lodged in the back of the head. The
wound is severe, but the attending physician
does not consider it fatal. Mr. Mosby was
committed to jail to await an examination.—
Both the young gentlemen are from Albemarle
county. \\ e have not learned the circumstan
ces which led to this unhappy affair.—Rich
mond Dispatch, 31a/ ult.
Fatal Affray. —We learn from a gentle
man who came down on the cars, that Samuel
Rucker killed his brother-in-law, Wm. Smith,
in Murfreesboro’ yesterday. The difficulty
originated in settling their estate. — Nashville
Gazette , 31s/ ult.
A I’ iend. —The Vicksburg Whig publishes
an account of a horrible outrage perpetrated
at a wood-yard below Warrenton, Miss., on the
10th. A man named Webb entered the house
of a man named Seborn, who kept the wood
yard, during his absence, for the purpose of
committing some outrage upon bis two daugh
ters, who were alone. lie was resisted by them
until one was struck down with an axe, dange
rously wounded. The fiend then succeeded in
mastering the older girl, and forcibly dragged
her into a boat and put off’ with her.
W e learn that a recontre occurred in
L nion Alley this morning between W. G.
Brien, Esq., and Mr. John Curry, in which each
fired a pistol at the other Mr. Murray was
wounded in the thigh.— Nashville Evening
News.
Cost of Killing one’s Wife in Miss.—
We learn from a late Ripley Advertiser that
Samuel V illiams was convicted at the recent
term ot the Circuit Court ot Tippah county,
Miss, of ‘manslaughter in the first degree’ for
killing his wife, and sentenced to the peniten
tiary for ten years.
Mi rder in Louisa.—We learn from the
Charlottesville Advocate, that the body of Rich
ard W illiams, ot Granger county, was found in
the South Anna River in Louisa county several
days since, bearing the marks of violence, and
bound with strong cords. He being evidently
murdered, the persons in the neighborhood set
about hunting up proofs as to the manner of
his death, and finally suspicion rested upon
Capt. Vm. Porter, his wife, his wife’s sister,
and two of his negro men, who were all ex
aminep and committed for trial. The commit
tal was upon the evidence of Williams’ wife;
who is Porter’s wife’s sister, and who had left
her husband and was living at Potter’s at the
timd of the murder. Forter is a tnan of pro
perty and has been highly respected until by
bad association lie had fallen upon evil courses.
W illiams was a poor laboring man. The neigh
borhood where the murder was committed is
proverbial for integrity and a love of law and
order, and a great excitement was produced by
the occurrence.
Mail Robbery. —The Nashville Whig of
the sth hist, says: Mr. Hutchins, one of the
firm of Hutchins & Cos. of Louisville, passed
through this city yesterday, en route for Louis
ville, having in custody Col. Levy, U. S. Mai!
Agent, charged with having robbed the mail
in Louisville of a package containing over
$4,000. The circumstances, as we learned
them, are substantially as follows: Hutchins &
Cos., about ten days since, mailed the package
at Louisville, (all the notes been previously
branded with their private mark,) to Shapard
A Cos. ot this city, and telegraphed the same.
The mail arrived without the package. Shap
ard A Cos. immediately telegraphed to Hutch
ins A C’o., Louisville. Upon examination at
that office it was the opinion of the Postmas
ter, Mr. Edwards, that the Mail Agent, Mr.
Levy, had taken the package. Mr. Hutchins
immediately started in pursuit. Arriving in
this city, he learned that Mr. Levy, after ex
amining this office, as is the business of the
Mail Agent, had given out that he was going
to Dresden, Tennessee.
Mr. Hutchins, however, for some reason,
took the cars, and passing Chattanooga with
out obtaining any clue to him, be finally over
took him at Atlanta, Georgia, traveling under
an assumed name, but unfortunately for him
having in his possession an umbrella marked
‘stolen from Col. Levy.’ Mr. Hutchins on bis
trip found several of the bills belongingto the
package in the hands of parsons who had
changed them, and actually stood beside Mr.
Levy and saw him purchase a railroad ticket
with one of the bills. Most of the money was
recovered by Mr. Hutchins, either in the origi
nal funds or in other currency.
Fatal Stabbing. —We regret to chronicle
another murderous outrage perpetrated in our
midst. It appears that on Friday last, a young
man named Burnett went to the brickyard of
John D. Lebo, raised an altercation with him
and finally, in the presence of his wife, stabbed
him, inflicting a wound, of which lie died on
Sunday morning. Burnett lied immediately,
and though pursued has not bet been appre
hended. Much solicitude is felt for the appre
hension of the murderer, for which, with com
mendable promptitude and public spirit, a re
ward ot §2OO has been offered by the citizens
of our community.— Knoxville Statesman.
Mrs. Fili.xioue and Mrs. Cass.— The funer
al of Mrs Fillmore took place at Buffalo, on Sat
urday afternoon, and that of Mrs. Cass at De
troit, on Sunday afternoon. They were both
attended by a large concourse of sympathizing
friends.
... .The other day two young ladies were
discussing the fashions. One was in favor of
having dresses with hooks-and-eyes behind,
adding: “I think they are more genteel in ap
pearance.” The one in favor of placing the
hooks-and-eyes in front, replied: “Yes, but
suppose a body marries, then the dresses will
need no altering.” No. 1 fainted at the mere
allusion to interesting catastrophe.
.... “Those farmers who hesitate about their
ability to take a newspaper, are requested to
keep one more lieu than usual. The proceeds
will pay all costs.”
... .Thoughts and expressions became round
ed and polished by being revolved in the mind,
as pebbles by being rolled in the sea.

‘Blow.’
The world is for bi n tvljo bus patience.
... .A boy caught a hungry dog the other
day, tied him by the tail and coaxed him out
of his skin with a piece of liver. P. S.—The
dog is as well as could be expected under the
circumstances.

quite genteel, this morning, in our new dress?—
We have always aimed to make the Citizen a first class
Newspaper, in matter and manner—one that we could
introduce into the company of our cotemporaries, w ith

succeded. At least, we are willing to compare notes,
in this respect, with any and all of our brethren, and
submit the decision to the umpire of the sovereign peo
ple, to whom after all is the credit due for any im

and support we could have accomplished nothing wor
thy of mention. For them, therefore, we shall continue
to labor, in the confident assurance that they will con

Ire Cream Saloon. —We were very agreca
i bly notified, the other evening, of the re-opening of
Charley Freeman’s Ice Cream Saloon, by the appear
; ;mce at our Sanctum door, of a ‘colored individual’
bearing on his arms a massive tray-load of the most
delicious cream ever concocted by man’s ingenuity, as
a compliment to all hands in the office. The said lux
ury was duly discussed, after which a vote of thanks
was passed, unanimously , to the polite and gentlemanly
donor. Mr. Freeman has refitted his Ladies’ Saloon
as well as Stag llall, in an elegant manner, and will
i doubtless be ready at any moment, during the season,

arrangements are complete for the manufacture and in
sertion of every description of plate and Block work,
and judging from the the specimens exhibited, they
certainly have arrived at the ne plus ■ultra of tlieir

Look Out for Counterfcitcrt. —A

j Cleveland, Texas, 10th April, announces the arrest in
t the latter place, on Sunday last, of three Counterfeiters,
who gave their names its Jos. Waters, Jos. Jones and
Pierson, with several aliases. They had in their

Governor Cobb>—This gentleman has writ
ten a long letter to CoL Morris of Franklin county, in
favor of a re-union of the Union and Secession wings of
the Democratic Party and in opposition to the rc-opcn
ing of the “Union Hotel,” as desired by our friend
General Sanford, by Colonel Ilolsey, Gen. Wofford and
others. The Georgian, Federal Union and other se
cession prints receive liis Excellency hack with open
arms and rejoice ns over the return of a prodigal son
to his Father’s house. Says the Federal Union: —
“We have space only to say, that the letter is frank
ly and boldly written. It will place this gentleman in
a clear position before the Party, and contribute great
ly to the re-union and fraternal good feeling in the
ranks of the whole Democracy of the State. Tile Catho
lic spirit abounding in the letter of Gov. Cobh should
be met by a like spirit on the part of our friends.”
On the other hand, the “Recorder” dissents, and
comments as follows, upon the document:—
“We have neither time nor space this week to oo
tice at large the subject matter of this letter, Mr. Cobb
seems to he in the enjoyment of a most happy oblivi
ousnoss of tire jars and feuds which now convulse the
democratic party from its centre to its circumference.
Neither in the Cabinet nor in the Senate—in New-
York or in Georgia, does the democratic family pre
sent the most loving or hopeful aspect, whilst in Ohio
the Baltimore Platform has been openly repudiated by
those pure patriots that rejoice in the name of Demo
crat,*aud with whom His Excellency would have union
men of the South affiliate. The Union Whigs will
hardly follow him to such a banquet, aud although va
rious considerations may induce a few Union Demo
crats to amalgamate with secessionists, we believe the
great mass of them ill keep aloof from all such dis
cordant associations. ,r
The “Banner” - likewise dissents from the arguments
of the Governor, but we have not room for ks strictures.
Suffice it to say that the schdsm among the Union De
mocracy is now complete—the “disruption” is to til.
Well, we confess, that we are not sorry enough to erv
about it. It is just what we expected, when the Union
Democrats slabbed off from the C. U. Party, and were
followed by the Fillmore Whigs. The difficulty was
that the Union Party was two large. It had that de
sirable clement “size,” but there was too much size to
be prosperous! There were too many March gentle
men in the crowd, of the “Collin’s Ram” breed of
politicians! What else then could have been expected
but a quarrel among the aspirants for fame and office?
On the other hand, the Whigs are no less disrupted
than the Uniou Democracy. You might as well at- |
| tempt to mix oil and water as to mingle the antago- j
j nistic qualities which once made up the great Whig i
j Party of Georgia. The Punic faith of one wing to-
I wards the other has left a rankling sore in the minds
of the latter, which it will take time to heal. Our im
pression then is, that the Southern Rights Democracy
will be able to sweep aM before them, in the ensuing
campaign, especially if the surrender of Gov. Cobh
and his friends is received with that cordiality which
will inspire confidence in the Union men, and banish
from their minds the idea of meditated treachery on
the part of the Secession Democrats. That party will
then become, in its turn, the party of “‘size" —a fact
which the superior instincts of His Excellency have
perhaps enabled him to discover far in advance of his
compeers, and which same instincts will serve, also, to
keep him in an available position, when another com
ing Revolution casts its shadows before! We shall
see.

A iVeail While Ulan. —“Aboutthe mean

Do you call that mean, Mr. Pick? Why we know

to carry it ofF, after borrowing it, without paying a

then to turn round and fulminate his maledictions

—Parson Brownlow having been presented with a half

“ Now, it would do a hungry man good to stand by

a plate of this Syrup, and then start it with railroad
speed, i the way of all the earth.’ But it would ren
der a fellow more solid comfort, to unite with us in the
operation. It is a great matter to know men and to
know how to suit each one’s taste. Had these far see
ing and truly clever gentlemen presented us with a
half barrel of Liquor, it would have been ill-timed,
but the Syrup!—why, reader, we are at home now—
we arc perfectly in town with a pocket full of rocks! ”
Wi<iliing to Vamose.— “Tlie proprietors

ing to engage in other pursuits, offer their printing es
tablishment for sale, for cash or its equivalent. ”
Secession Doctrines don’t pay, it would seem, out in

No wonder “other pursuits” are more attractive. But
wc wish to enquire, if the Proprietors mean to sell out
their principles as well as their press? We would not
take the latter as a gift with the encumbrance of the
former.
The I-'ast Alabamian -The Editor of

for re-election to Cong ,J; -‘d Congressional
District of Alulmma, a
“We again reassert P-at 0 , rcrombie stands
where he stood ‘durii g rim ‘ate vass’—a Union
man to the heart. Tin C-.iv/. , i aware that the
Whigs have not cast a iuli tote Capt. Abercrom
bie was elected upon the Union ticket, aud the Whigs
in this section have come to the conclusion, honest con
clusion that Gen. Scott was no candidate, and have
therefore determined his vote as null and void. There
is not a Union man in the District but will accord him
his support, and the ‘incorruptible’ Whigs will stand
up to him to man. It will take a mighty clever follow
in any ‘point’ of view, to beat the man who hits ever
held, maintained and followed Republican principles,
and stood up to the Union party in every emergency.
Wc have our doubts very much, whether any ‘clever’
fellow will oppose Capt. Abercrombie, as his opponents
sadly feel his popularity, and are afraid to venture
again. To wlmt party does the Georgia Citizen now
belong ? We ask for information.”
Wc did not intend, ‘Joe,’ to be meddling with your
affairs, but since you have become sponsor for the Cap
tain and make a special call upon us, to ‘define our po
sition,’ we cannot resist the courteous invitation, and !
will therefore speak a word or two more on the sub
ject. The not casting a full Whig vote since the elec
tion of Capt. Abercrombie, on the Union Ticket, has
nothing to do, apprehend, with the apostaey of that
gentleman, in the late Presidential contest. We say
apostaey, because we know of no other word to ex
press the fact, that Capt. A. the veteran Whig of Ala- 1
buma—the inflexible Whig—the incorruptible and j
pugnacious advocate of Whig measures and Whig men, ‘
for a quarter of a century or longer, up to last sum
mer, did, at last, repudiate the nomination of the Na
tional Whig party and refuse to support the gallant old
Chieftain, Winfield Scott, for the Presidency. But
this is not all. The HOll. gentleman seems himself to
have had an idea that lie had made a misstep on that
occasion, and is fearful of the consequences, in that he
now refuses to submit his claims to a re-nomination, to
his regular Party Convention, but has announced him- J
self a candidate, ‘ nolus volus,’ whether he is the nomi
nee of a convention or not. What docs this mean, I
Mr. Alabamian, but a doubt as to the support of the !
‘incorruptible Whigs’ of the District, on the mind of ;
the Captain? True, the Union men and Whigs will
probably support him against a Secession Democrat,
under the circumstances, but this will not. prove that
his popularity has not waned some since the events of
last summer. If he dkl not so believe, why inn inde
pendent of his party nomination ? He has blocked the
game upon bis own friends, by this course, and has
not given them the opportunity of passing a verdict
upon his conduct. Notwithstanding, then, the lauda
tion of the East Alabamian, we must be permitted to
continue to doubt the alledgcd fact of Mr. Abercrom
bie’s unabated populaiity in his District, until lie sub
mits his claims to a regular Convention and receives
its nomination over all other gentlemen of his party. ;
That will be the first test of his popularity and the
second will be his re-election by a majority equal to
that received before, over his Democratic opponent.
Now a word as to our position, Mr. Alabamian.—
Our present locality in politics is oh a given point on j
the ‘imaginary great circle passing through the poles
and perpendicular to the equator,’ or in other words,
on that meridional position which is the ‘highest place
or point of any thing.’ And we are exceedingly in
different whether we shall descend from our elevation
to mingle in the coming strife or remain where we are,
till the storm beneath has passed. We say this, be
cause, at the present writing, flhere are neither princi
ples nor measures at issue in this State, and we do not
care to ‘go a warfare at onr own charges’ for men who
are either indifferent or obnoxious to us. Are you
answered, Mr. Alabamian?
P. S. Since writing the foregoing, wc notffce that
the Whigs of Macon and Butler counties have held
meetings and appointed Delegates to a District Con
gatssional Convention, in the usual manner, to nomi
nate a candidate. Will Capt. Abercrombie meet the
issue of popularity there or will he not? If not, let
us hear no more, Joseph, on that head.
Onr Extra.— With this number of the Citizen
will be sent an Extra, directed to the personal and
particular consideration of each individual subscriber
and reader of this paper. We are going ahead, and
wish to travel on the rail-way of our progress with as
much ease and with as little friction as possible. Will
therefore be thankful for enough of the lubricating
substance to accomplish the object in a pleasant man- I
ner.
Memphis Commercial Convention.
—Gov. Cobb has issued a circular inviting the people
of Georgia to assemble in primary meetings, at such
times and places as may suit their convenience, and
appoint delegates to represent this State in said Con
vention. His Excellency thinks this a better plan than
for him, as Executive, to make such appointments,
and he is impressed with the conviction that a sufficient
interest will be felt among the people, themselves, to
ensure their action upon the subject.
Well Put. A writer in the last Sandersville
Georgian introduces an article in favor of the Reform
of the Liquor traffic, with the following home-thrust
interrogatories, which we commend to the special no
tice of all concerned, especially our * Lsthmaelitisk ’
friend, General ‘Comer Stone*:
Are you acquainted, Mr. Editor, with a sober, intel
liigcibt, and respectable citizen, who would vote to have
a grogshop located in frout of his family dwelling, and
for it to remain as long as the owner chose to keep
it ? I presume not. Then ought such a citizen to
vote for it to be placed before his neighbor’s house ?
V\ hv is .it that even drinking men do not like to have
these lawful establishments near to their dwellings?
Why ? But on account of the disgusting scenes that
are too often enacted at them—from the demoralizing
influence which they exert—and from the loathsome
examples of human depravity, which unfortunately,
too often occur. I should think that these were suffi
cient to convince any reflecting mind, that the Traffic
in Spirituous Liquors, and the laws which sanction
that Traffic, especially in retail, are not only immoral,
but are sinful, are a violation of the first principles of
political economy, and at variance with the principles
of the Bible.
Not So. —A writer in the Savannah Georgian,
over the signature of ‘Honesty,’ in discussing the sub
ject of the petty Larceny of certain newspaper Editors,
acquits the ‘Georgian’ of the crime, but says that ‘it
extends throughout the whole Southern Press, to a
greater or less extent, and is nn evil that loudly de
mands a remedy.’ Mr. ‘Honesty* is too whole- sale in
his allegations. We protest against being classed with
those who are in the habit of directly stealing the la
bors of their cotemporaiies, or of indirectly doing the
same thing, by ignoring the source whence the news
is derived, or dressing it up in the form of a letter or
telegraphic dispatch to the press of the pilferer! It is
astonishing how some of these Journalists are able to
keep so many correspondents in their service—but the
fact is patent, that no event of the least public impor
tance can happen any where in Georgia, but their
Lynx-eyed correspondents at once seize hold of it and
send it all the way to Savannah or elsewhere, as the
case may be, in the twinkling of a bed-post. The only
thing curious about the matter is, that in most cases,
these special items of news are not published in these
enterprising Newspapers, till after the country Journal
nearest the scene of event has had time to reach thorn,
by Railroad, and convey the same intelligence! Vive
la humbug!
Too Much of a 4oo<l Thing. —The
tootings of a flute, the grinding on a Harmonicon, and
the ding-dong of a church bell, may, by their continui
ty of sounds, become wearisome if not painful to the
ear. Why is it necessary for that African individual who
officiates at the Bell-rope of the Presbyterian Church
to prolong each ringing indefinitely? It has Income a
nuisance to the neighborhood, especially to those of
weak nerves and on a sickbed. Do, Mr. Janitor, spare
us the infliction of 25 minutes ringing when 5 will suf
fice to gather the flock.
Hc.tr Klim ! —“Unfortunately for the south,
she is in far more danger from the spirit of submission
than that of secession. In every contest with the
north, she backed to the wall ami submitted to indig
nity rather than disturb the public peace. This is
know n at the north—northern politicians presume up
it—aye, even boost that the south cannot be kicked
out ot the Union. Secession doctrines are, therefore,
a bugbear which even children and old women laugh at
—dry bones w hich excite terror only when they are
rattled in the dark. No wonder that the brave men
of the Journal d’ Messenger have proudly scorned to
engage in the silly amusement, and that those who are
busy in it, arc the butt of ridicule even of the Georaia
Citizen .” *
We copy the above from that rabid partizan print,
the Columbus “Times and Sentinel, ” on the subject of
the ‘New’ Union Party’ proposed to be formed in Gcor
| gia, chiefly for the confession therein contained from
one of the High Priests of Disunion, that “secession
doctrines arc a bug-bcar which even children and old
women laugh at—dry bones which excite terror only
when they are rattled in the dark. ” That has been
our private opinion, for some time, Captain, of the
whole secession movement —its blood and thunder
principles—its “coffin” paraphernalia and its “fire-cat
j ing” demonstrations. We did not expect, however,
that one of the players on the “dry bones” would
| have confessed the cheat and hypocrisy, so candidlv
j and at so early a day.
TJio “ Unit” Cabinet Mr. Marcy has
resigned the post of Secretary of State. Mr. Cushing,
; the Attorney General, takes Marcy’s place, and Mr.
Dobbin, Secretary of the Navy, takes Cushing’s place. I
Commodore Stockton has been appointed to the Navv
1 Department in Mr. Dobbin’s place.
James Buchanan has been confirmed as Minister to
England. Mr. Benton, it is reported, has been appoint- i
ed Minister to France, audit is thought that Marcy will
get a foreign mission.
Cotton from Columbus.—We learn that the first
lot. of Cotton—36 bales—ever received in this city, by
railroad from Columbus, arrived on Tuesday evening j
last consigned to Messrs. Wells & Durr. It is expected J
that the receipts from that quarter, the next season,
will reach a high figure.— Sar. Rep. 14th.
The Savannah Georgian. —ln this pa
per, of Tuesday morning, appears an extract of six
lines from our last paper, simply announcing the sale
of the Howard Factory, Columbus, w ithout comment.
In the same paper of Wednesday morning, we find the
following:—
“Rkv. John E. Dawson.—We regret that in pub
lishing a report of the sale of the Howard Factory, in
Columbua, taken from the Georgia Citizen, some re- j
flections upon the gentleman whose name stands above, I
inadvertently found their way into our yesterday morn
ing’s edition. Nothing could be further from our feel
ings than any disposition to give countenance to those
imputations. Personally, our acquaintance with Mr.
Dawson is slight; by reputation we know him well; j
but whether judging from our personal acquaintance
or from his established reputation, we must say that we
know scarcely any one who approaches more nearly
our beau ideal of a Christian gentleman than lie. That j
lie is capable of doing anything unworthy the character
either of a Christian or of a gentleman, w e do not for a
moment believe. ”
Now’ the question arises, did or not the Sav. Georgi
an publish any refections from the Citizen upon the
Rev. J. E. Dawson, tliat required such an apology?—
If it only published the six lines which we find in that
paper of the 12th inst. there was no need of the above, i
unless to lickspittle the reverend gentleman. If, how -
ever, the whole of our article was copied, the Georgian
may be excused, for its retraction of the publication.—
We fear, however, that his “ beau-ideal of a Christian
Gentleman” will not thereby he exhonerated from the
refections which his neighbors and fellow-citizens have
generally placed upon the transaction referred to, and
the prominent part which the Reverend gentleman took
therein. If a minister of the gospel leaves the pulpit
to speculate in Factory Stock, he must calculate to take
the losses as well as the profits of the operation. He
that wears a black coat into a lint room, must not ex
pect its glossy sheen to remain undiinmed and untar
nished !
But apart from this—we are of the opinion that no
man can justly be considered the “ beau-idea! of a Chris
tian gentleman” who is ostentatious, vindictive, and su
percilious, unless the Pharisee of olden times was the
type of meekness, humility and self-abasement.
Texas Route to the Pacific.—“Acor
respondent of the Cotton Plant, (a paper published at
Washington City,) writing from San Antonio, Texas,
on the Ist ult. says:
“I have just learned that a very important bill has
been put through the Texas Legislature. The bill grants
to the Barings of London, the right of way from Hous
ton, Texas, to the El Passo. They ask i'or no land
nothing but the right of way. Their agent, Mr. Chats
worth, has pledged the faith of Barings, and forty mil
lions of dollara, to carry out the matter at once. They
intend carrying the road to the Pacific, and it is un
derstood the Mexican Government are prepared to
grant the right of way over their territory. If Con
gress does not favor the road, the Pacific terminus
will be made more to the southward, and on Mexican
soil. ”
Sad Occurrence.— The Christian Index, of
the 7th inst. gives the following account of an unfor
tunate occurrence which took place at Penfield, on the
4th inst. by which a student of the name of F. W.
Janes came to his death from a pistol shot, discharged
by his fellow student Ben. F. Willet, from Bibb coun
ty:—
It gives us much pain to record a sad exception to
the order of our peaceful village, and the propriety of
deportment whieh has distinguished the students of
our Uuivereity. On last Monday evening, about sun
set, Felix W. Janes, a regular member of the Fresh
man Class, and Benj. F. Willet, a student on trial in
the same class, were, with some of their fellow-stu
dents, amusing themselves at play. A slight alterca
tion having arisen between Janes and Willet, the lat
ter drew a loaded pistol from his pocket, and presented
it in a threatening manner. How far this was done
with the criminal intent to inflict injur)', will be a sub
ject of legal investigation, and we, therefore, abstain
from expressing an opinion; but it is certain that in
the issue, the pistol was discharged, and Janes re
ceived a wound, which proved fatal in less than 24
hours. The event has greatly shocked our community.
The Printer’* Strike ‘Tvpo,’ a corres
pondent of the Montgomery Advertiser, savs tliat
‘there has not been a general strike for higher wages’
among the Printers of Montgomery, but they, in fonn
ing a Typographical Society, established prices of work
at sl4 per week, or 40 cents |*>r thousand cm*. The
Journal office not recognizing the Society, its hands
refused to work till the Proprietors should come to
terms, which they finally did. This, says ‘Typo’ is the
only strike which has occurred there.
What ‘Typo’ further says a>>out the ‘Citizen’ office
and the system ol ‘ratting’ is foreign to the issue, so
far as we arc concerned. We have had loss to do
with the manufacture of incompetent workmen and
employ fewer of them, than, perhaps, any other office
in the South. We have no apprentices and have al
ways paid the highest wages in this State, viz: 37 1-2
cents per thousand for composition. The ‘responsi
bility ’ of the evil, therefore, of worthless, half-taught
and incompetent workmen, docs not fall upon our
shoulders, Mr. ‘Typo,’ your insinuation to the contrary,
notwithstanding. The other insinuation that we arc
not & practical Printer and therefore incapable of judg
ing of the qualifications of Journeymen, is a story that
will do to tell to Marines, but will not be credited, a
moment, by those who know any thing about our to
pographical education of more years in the business,
than ‘Typo’ probably has been out of his swaddling
clothes! ‘Teach your granny to suck eggs,’ will you ?
